One of our all time favorite brands, Heaven Skincare, was recently written up on New York Social Diary and we wanted to share it with you.
When she was 16 years old, Carla Sayer got into a bad automobile accident. The car in which she was a passenger was hit and one of the back windows smashed into her face. She was rushed to the hospital where doctors spent the next four hours removing shards of glass from her left cheek. She was subsequently put on steroids because of other injuries sustained in the accident. The steroids, according to Carla, resulted in severe acne. To control the acne, she was prescribed a birth control pill but when she stopped taking the pill several years later, the acne returned with a vengeance. With a face full of angry lesions, a distraught Carla was on the verge of canceling a much anticipated reunion with a long distance boyfriend.
Enter some divine intervention in the guise of Deborah Mitchell’s Heaven Skincare. An acquaintance of hers who worked for the product line recommended she use the Hydro Cleansing Milk, the Peppermint Clarifying Lotion and the Youthful Moisturizer twice a day and nothing else. Carla followed her advice and five days later, when she stepped off the plane to meet her boyfriend, she had only one spot on her face.
The star ingredient of the line is bee venom. Deborah’s patented Abeetoxin, a complex formulation of bee venom, honey and botulism – a natural form of the toxin used in Botox that can be harvested from beehives – has generated a good deal of buzz for its smoothing effects. Her bee venom facials have been credited with taking years off the Duchess of Cornwall’s face. Deborah won’t discuss her work with the royals, but it is said that Kate Middleton enjoyed one of her facials just days before the royal wedding, having been introduced to Deborah and her products by Camilla Parker Bowles.
Other celebrities who have swarmed to Heaven Skincare include Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Kidman and Kylie and Danii Minogue. Nor are men strangers to the products. David Beckham, Simon Cowell, Jack Nicholson and Robert Downey, Jr. also count among the devotées. Indeed, 30% of Heaven’s customers are men.
Intrigued, I wanted to meet the queen bee behind this luxury skin care line. Not only did I learn a bit about the ingenious formulations, but I walked away completely energized for Deborah’s story is nothing if not inspiring. The self-described “working class girl” turned herself into a bona fide business mogul. Last year, 24 years after its inception, Heaven Skincare earned a reported $45 million in revenues. The products are sold worldwide through its website and via stockists in 15 countries including the United Arab Emirates and China.
Blonde and glamorous, Deborah greets me with a big smile and a warm hug at the posh Langham hotel in London, her home away from her country home. Over a glass of bubbly and some hors d’oeuvres, the daughter of a hairdresser and owner of a courier business, tells me of her humble beginnings. The English native got her start in the beauty industry at the tender age of 17 by working as a door-to-door manicurist. “I started off with one £10 pack of nail extensions and my first customer gave me a £1 tip,” she recalls, revealing that she couldn’t afford to buy many products, so she began making her own. Armed with knowledge gleaned from cosmetic science classes and with a degree in lab science, she began experimenting with various formulas.
According to Deborah, she suffered from severe acne in her youth and acne products left her red-faced. So, she came up with a soothing chamomile mask. More products followed, to be snapped up by her clients, and it wasn’t long before Deborah started giving facials. Her first treatment room was the handicapped bathroom of a gym in a Holiday Inn. In short order, her facials became so popular that she graduated to London’s prestigious Hale Clinic.
The Bee Venom Mask is sold in three tiers, starting with silver, which contains the lowest amount of Abeetoxin, then black, and up to gold. Deborah recommends the more potent black one for men as they have thicker skin. The venom in the gold mask is collected from the queen bee. This is very rare – nearly impossible to obtain – as there is only one queen bee per hive. The price of one ounce of bee venom costs $38,000 and that of one ounce of venom from the queen bee is $140,000 according to Deborah. Our beauty expert, Alyssa Barrie, uses the Silver Mask daily, putting it on over her moisturizer and eye cream. “You need very little,” she advises.
The bee venom in the resulting Abeetoxin fools the skin into thinking it has been lightly stung. This causes blood to flow towards the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Deborah makes the process through which the venom is harvested sound simple: “We release a small electrical current through a pane of glass that causes the bees no harm but encourages them to sting the glass, depositing their venom. When a bee stings a person, the stinger gets released into the flesh, causing the bee to die. But when they sting glass, the stinger can’t come out because it’s too hard, but their brain tells them they’ve stung, and so not to sting again.” Due to the fact the she actually saves the lives of bees, Deborah, who donates a portion of her profits to bee charities, has been named an official Guardian of the Bees in the UK.
“We have something for every pocket with our travel size options,” says Deborah. The Long Weekender Kit retails for $45 on NYSD Beauty and contains a cleanser, exfoliant, toner, moisturizer and the silver bee venom mask.
Our beauty experts at NYSD Beauty also swear by the Vanilla Pod Hand & Nail Cream. The cream’s vanilla scent is even purported to act as an appetite suppressant!
Not surprisingly, imitators have jumped on the bandwagon but Deborah is quick to point out that her competitors use freeze-dried bee venom which is ineffective according to the skin care guru, whereas her products contain real botulism found in the hive. As industrious as her beloved bees, this 50-year old mother of two does not rest on her laurels. Debuting this summer is Bee Peel, an intensified facial peel for home use which again harnesses the power of bees. “It gives professional results without the downtime of regular chemical peels,” discloses Carla, who ten years on, still only uses Heaven products.
Expert tip: When it comes to exfoliation, forget the “once a week” rule. Exfoliate as and when you like, as long as your skin can handle it. I like Heaven’s Bee Polish which combines bee venom and botulism with raw cane sugar. It’s gentle on my sensitive, dry skin, leaving it smooth and reflective. Plus, it doesn’t contain those environmentally damaging microbeads. I also like the Clarifying Hydrogel (as a toner) which has a cross polymer interlocking (net-like) firming action. Both are in NYSD Beauty’s Long Weekender Kit.

NB. A revision of the homily posted below this one. . .
The Widow's Mite is true sacrifice b/c she is throwing herself fully into the providential care of God. She's not praying out of her leftovers, what's left when she's done with her to-do list, done with her job, done with paying the bills. Those who pray out of their “surplus wealth” are holding back enough – plus just a little more, just in case – holding back enough to make sure that all of their needs are met and then some. Being the good, middle-class Americans that we are, we instinctively understand and sympathize with those who pay the bills, put some in savings, and use a little for fun. . .then give our time and attention to God from what's left over. Prayer becomes for us our charity work, the “extra thing we do if and when there's time.” What does this sort of prayer life do for us and to us? Well, not much. It's better than nothing, I guess. But “better than nothing” isn't what Christ is asking from us. He wants it all. All of us. All of our time, talent, and treasure. He wants everything we have and everything we are 100% of the time. He can make this ridiculous demand precisely b/c he bought us on the Cross. He gave himself – all of his time, talent, and treasure; his body and blood – in sacrifice for us so that we might have life and live it most abundantly. We belong to Christ.
Jesus praises the Widow's sacrifice b/c she puts her livelihood right where it belongs – in the hands of her loving God. She publicly demonstrates her willingness to be a subject of His care, trusting fully that her needs will be met. Her generosity isn't to be measured in terms of “how much money does she give?” but rather in terms of “how much does she trust God to provide?” That's a measure wholly different from what we are used to, wholly different from what many of us would be comfortable with. But that's the measure Jesus praises. That's the measure he's calling us all to use. Total sacrifice. Make everything you have and everything you are holy. . .by surrendering to all to God.
How do we do this? First, God gets His first. In terms of prayer, this means He gets most of our time by being the focus of our time, even when we are working, playing, or resting. Second, our talents and treasures are His before they are anyone else's. In practical terms, this could mean volunteering for the Church before looking for something fun to do. It could mean, giving to the Church before buying a newer model car or upgrading to a better cell phone or taking a vacation. It could mean giving to a charity before paying the bills. Third, if every moment of every day we belong to Christ – and we do – then every moment of every day should be spent doing his work. Teaching the truth, preaching the Good News, helping those in need, healing broken relationships, forgiving sins against us, searching for ways to be a witness to our Father's mercy. And pray, pray, pray for those who most need your prayers – the souls in purgatory; persecuted Christians around the world; mothers contemplating an abortion; first responders and our military men and women and veterans; doctors and nurses; seminarians and religious novices; and most especially those who need your prayers desperately: politicians and the clergy! Trust me: you can't pray for politicians and priests enough.

Spoon make their glorious return after 4 years with They Want My Soul. The Austin-based band, led by Britt Daniel released their 8th studio album a few days ago, 18 years after their debut album, Telephono. The good reviews were out immediately, some saying that They Want My Soul is the new rock classic, comparing it to work by artists such as Bowie, Lennon and The Rolling Stones.
They Want My Soul kept Transference's mysticism, but incorporated more fun aspects as in 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and is filled with their classic guitar riffs and pop rythms that make it an immediate easy and fluent listen. It may be too early, but I'm pretty sure They Want My Soul will be in my 2014's favourite albums list. Listen to it on constant repeat, the only thing that will happen is that tracks will only get better.
Here are the links to stream it from Spotify or to download it from iTunes. Listen to New York Kiss, my favourite song in the album.
Spoon regresa después de 4 años con el lanzamiento de They Want My Soul. La banda originaria de Austin, Texas, liderada por Britt Daniel lanzó hace unos días su octavo álbum de estudio, 18 años después de que la banda fuera formada. Los buenos comentarios y las reseñas no se hicieron esperar, y se ha clasificado a They Want My Soul como un nuevo clásico del rock a escasos días de su lanzamiento, incluso comparándolo con trabajo de otros artistas, como John Lennon, Rolling Stones, o David Bowie.
They Want My Soul conserva el misticismo de Transference, pero incorpora aspectos más divertidos y pegajosos como en Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, de 2007, y está lleno de sus ya conocidos riffs de guitarra y ritmos poperos que lo hacen muy fácil de escuchar. Tal vez es muy temprano para decirlo, pero They Want My Soul definitivamente estará en mi lista de álbumes favoritos de 2014. Escúchenlo una y otra vez, lo único que puede pasar, es que las canciones mejoren mientras más las repitan.
Les dejo los links para escucharlo en iTunes y Spotify, y New York Kiss, mi canción favorita del álbum.
Hey Jamie-Lee, you should definitely check them out. If you liked They Want My Soul, I recommend you listen to Transference and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, they're amazing! Thanks for reading our blog!

I'm sure someone would love to swap their non brembo (caliper, rotor, bracket ) plus $600-$700 for your brembos..
Don't paint them. If anything get them powder coated. It will look better.
More importantly, why? The gtr comes with nice gold brembos. Its the cars little sister. Kinda like buying a turbo car and being like 'yeah I really don't like these turbos'. Then why'd you buy it?
That's not really a fair comparison as you don't really see turbos unless you have the hood popped and are actively looking at it. Brakes everyone can see. You can like the performance the product offers but not like the appearance of them.
I personally agree with the OP, I think the gold looks poor on pretty much every color choice the car comes in unless you had it in the beautiful metallic orange but that color's no longer offered.
I wouldn't put caliper covers on. Ever.
What color is the car? If I had to change the color, or the paint had burned off, I'd have to lean towards powder coating.
Powder coat them is your only option, I'd say. Paint generally looks pretty ghetto. Caliper covers look even more "poser"-ish than painting, IMO.
If you are anywhere near Atlanta, I'll gladly help take them off your hands +cash on top.

This gluten-free breakfast casserole is full of flavor and is the perfect one pan dish. Plus, it couldn’t be easier to make. Every major breakfast we have usually includes this awesome dish!
I love making this easy breakfast for my family anytime. However, we especially love to have it on Easter and Christmas mornings with our BEST gluten-free cinnamon rolls.
I especially love that it can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator to bake up first thing in the morning.
You can also make these quick and easy banana egg oat pancakes from our friend Erin at Meaningful Eats for a sweet accompaniment.
Can you use a different breakfast meat in this recipe?
Yes, you can sub in ground turkey but be sure to flavor it with 1/4 tsp. sage and some salt and pepper. Canadian bacon or leftover ham also works great.
You could also sub in crispy chopped bacon. Go extra meaty and use both bacon and sausage!
Pro Tip: Add in veggies for more flavor and color! Red and green bell peppers are great as are canned diced peppers. I also like adding in chopped onion, mushrooms or even asparagus.
Are store-bought hash browns are gluten-free?
While many store bought hash browns are gluten-free, it is important to always check. I’ve been surprised how any have wheat flour or other gluten ingredients in them.
Look for a brand that is labeled gluten-free and if you have celiac disease, make sure it wasn’t made in a facility where gluten was present.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl whisk eggs, salt and pepper (as shown in photo 1).
Melt 2 T butter in the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan in the oven. Once melted, place hash browns into the pan (as shown in photo 2).
Top the hash browns with cooked sausage (as shown in photo 3). Pour egg mixture over hash browns and sausage (as shown in photo 4).
Top the gluten-free breakfast casserole with shredded cheese (as shown in photo 5) and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees (as shown in photo 6).
I love assembling this gluten-free breakfast casserole the night before especially on holidays. I then cover it with tinfoil and bake it the next morning as directed in the recipe.
Yes, if you want to freeze the casserole and reheat it later. Simply prepare as normal and pre-bake the casserole for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and then cover tightly with aluminum foil. You can freeze it for 1-2 months.
When you are ready to enjoy, remove it from the freezer and reheat in a 350˚F oven for 1 hour with the foil on.
Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes until completely warmed through and the cheese is browned on top.

Former traffic warden Grace Williams took it in her stride when she found herself on the receiving end of a ticket.
For the ‘ticket’ was an airline pass for a journey half way round the world to see a grandchild she had never met.
The incredible journey was arranged by Grace’s son Midge as a surprise gift to mark her 70th birthday.
And as well as meeting her 21-year-old granddaughter in South Africa, Grace - who lives in Southwater - went on with son Midge to visit her home town of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe for the first time in 40 years.
“It was a marvelous, fantabulous, incredible, wonderful, exciting surprise holiday of a lifetime,” said Grace.
Grace makes an annual trip to see Midge and his wife Gina at their home in Switzerland and thought she was on her way there when Midge sprang the surprise on her.
“He said he had a meeting at Heathrow and said he would meet me there and I could travel with him,” said Grace.
“When I got to the airport we went and had dinner and then went to board the flight. We got to a sign saying ‘Johannesburg.’ Oh my God, I couldn’t believe it.
But the celebration was only just beginning. As well as meeting her granddaughter - Storm Jarvis - who is the daughter of Grace’s other son Shane - in Johannesburg, Grace was also reunited with one of her best friends in Durban whom she had not seen for years.
And while there, she also met up with her nephew Denzil whom she last saw nine years ago.
“It was such an incredible experience, I cried half the time,” said Grace, who used to work as a traffic warden for Sussex Police before joining Horsham District Council as a civil enforcement officer until her retirement in 2010.
She said Midge had planned the whole trip in meticulous detail with help from his wife Gina who kept the holiday a surprise.
“I thought I was going to Switzerland to see them,” said Grace. “She had to fool me into bringing some clothes for the heat. She said she was going to take me to a spa so I should bring sandals, a swimming costume, three pairs of light trousers and sunglasses.
Apart from her two sons, Grace - whose 70th birthday is on October 31 this year - also has family nearer to home.
Her daughter Crystal lives in West Chiltington with her partner Justin and two children, and her sister Val lives in Roffey.

Sitting up for long hours, especially during long haul of flights is often a cause of swollen ankles.
If a woman is on birth control pills, the estrogen present in these pills can lead to water retention. If the valves in the veins of the legs are weakened, it results in inefficient return of blood to the heart, causing retention. Certain ailments like cardiomyopathy, kidney diseases, heart ailments, liver diseases, gout, ankle arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis also cause edema and swelling in the feet. Consumption of food high in sodium also causes water retention, which in fact is the most common cause of water retention.
Many people are not aware that deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine) is also known to cause swelling in the ankles, due to water retention.
If the swelling remains persistent for a long period, you may not want to neglect it and do visit your physician immediately. Disclaimer: This Buzzle article is for informative purposes only, and does not intend to be considered as a replacement for an expert medical advice. Apart from the system of blood vessels, there is another network of vessels in the human body: it is called the lymphatic system and consists of lymphatic vessels, lymphatic nodes and lymphatic organs. If the vessels are no longer able to drain the lymph, which is produced from the interstitial fluid, persistent oedema may develop . Oedema: Accumulation of abnormal quantities of fluid in the intercellular space in the tissues or in a body cavity, caused by inflammation, impaired or overloaded venous or lymphatic circulation, heart failure or impaired renal function. A solution to lymph oedema is drainage therapy, focusing on maintenance of the lymphatic and venous circulation and drainage of accumulated oedemas.
The severity of lymphoedema ranges from a mild swelling of the feet resolving spontaneously on rest to elephant's foot.
Moreover, fluid retention may be caused due to varied reasons, ranging from an injury, to a heart problem.
In some people, it is being observe that if they sit up all night long, their ankles swell.
Due to the gravitational force, the fluid in the body is pooled in the tissues of the lower part of the legs, causing ankle swelling (water retention). People who are on drugs for depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, normally suffer from swollen legs. After injury, the next common cause is infection around the ankle joint or in the ankle joint itself.
When you exercise, it helps the veins in the leg to work against gravity and return the blood back to the heart. You can choose to walk as a form of exercise, as it will exercise the leg muscles and prevent fluid accumulation and retention.
Visit your healthcare professional if you have decreased urine output, fever, and if your feet are warm to touch, as these may have some serious underlying conditions. Lymph secreted in the tissues is transported through the lymphatic system and the major lymphatic branches to the venous system. The reason is, the muscles become inactive and are unable to pump fluid back towards the heart. When the fluid is not pulled back towards the heart, it accumulates in the leg causing swelling. If there is protein deficiency, there will be an insufficient amount of water in the body, which will attract water from the tissue back into the capillaries, giving rise to water retention. Lymphatic movement is triggered by the pressure of tissue fluids, active contractions of lymph vessel walls as well as pressure from adjacent organs and muscles.
Two to four litres of excess water, proteins, dead cells, foreign bodies and fat are drained from the connective tissue. In addition to swelling of the ankles, there can be accumulation of water under the skin, due to which there may be an indent in the skin, when one holds it for a few seconds.
Sleeping with the legs up against the wall will prove to be of help in reducing the swelling.
If this filtering function is impaired, the body will not be able to get rid of the accumulated wastes, the immune system will not be able to fight the increasing load, thus giving rise to recurrent infections. However, in some other cases, there will be no indent at all, which also points towards fluid retention.
Some of the physicians may also prescribe diuretics to help you get rid of water retention. Depending on the amount of water retention and swelling, you will have to choose the correct one for yourself. It is the lymphatic system, which is responsible for flushing out of the fluid from the tissues and divert it back into the bloodstream.
Using a leg wedge while sleeping; so that your legs are raised above the level of the body, will also help to reduce the swelling.
This leads to water retention either all over the body or in certain body parts only, like ankles, hands, eye, etc.

Music has been part of JOANNE TATHAM’S life ever since she was a child in New Jersey, listening with her parents to songs from the Great American Songbook on WNEW, the legendary AM radio station in New York. She was captivated by singers like Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Jack Jones, their beautiful voices finding the heart and soul of the story of a song. Now, on THE RINGS OF SATURN, Tatham’s new CD, she continues the tradition -- laid down by the great vocalists of past generations -- of finding first-class material to sing and swing with a contemporary sensibility enhanced with hip, new arrangements.
Tatham is a versatile singer who moves effortlessly between swing tunes, Latin music, and jazzed-up pop songs. She acquired her facility with different styles through many years of performing in various musical situations. Her vocal talents first emerged when she was a youngster in Catholic school, where she was chosen to lead the children’s choir and then the full Saturday night folk choir. She honed her ear training during her teen years as a member of an all-girls vocal group that sang standards with tight harmonies in performances at The Garden State Arts Center (now the PNC Bank Arts Center), but probably most foundational was the time she spent on weekends during high school as the girl singer in a standards band doing weddings, bowling banquets, and New Year’s Eve parties. Working the bandstand, calling tunes, taking requests -- all came to inform her musical confidence and chops.
Tatham continued her musical education at The Hartt School, a performing arts conservatory at the University of Hartford. She also holds a graduate degree from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School. After graduation, she moved to New York City, spending ten years living in Manhattan, singing and working as a theater actress.
There’s no shortage of top-shelf musicians in Southern California, and Tatham brought on board some of the best. MAX HAYMER, who has recently been touring with Arturo Sandoval, plays piano and arranged most of the tunes. Tatham has known Haymer for many years, ever since he was a very young man and gave piano lessons to her sons. Tatham considers him almost part of the family.
Michael Franks’ song, “Summer In New York,” evokes memories of the Big Apple. It features the unique sound of guitarist LARRY KOONSE, one of the most respected musicians in LA. The CD also features woodwinds virtuoso BOB SHEPPARD and trumpet master BRIAN SWARTZ, both of whom have national reputations and extensive recording and performing credits. The rhythm section is rounded out with the talents of DAN SCHNELLE on drums, LYMAN MEDEIROS on bass, and KEVIN WINARD on percussion -- all mainstays on the Los Angeles jazz scene.
From standards “Love Me or Leave Me” and “It Could Happen to You,” to re-imagined pop tunes like Todd Rundgren’s “Can We Still be Friends” and Phoebe Snow’s “Poetry Man,” to a musical theater classic like “Anyone Can Whistle” by Stephen Sondheim, a notoriously difficult composer to sing in a jazz idiom, THE RINGS OF SATURN is an eclectic project that showcases Tatham’s musicianship, beautiful voice and aptitude for lyric interpretation. She is a performer unafraid to take risks. Her perfect diction and nuanced readings, combined with a flexible voice that is by turns gentle and inviting and then throaty and robust, demonstrates an artist in full control of her diverse material.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was a pocket of inner Copenhagen around Teglgårdsstræde called Pisserenden (“The Piss Trench”) – that fanned the flames of what was reminiscent of the old Copenhagen. It was in these windows that the last of the “old-fashioned” ladies showed off what “goods” they had left to the passersby. It was a holy hood of evening establishments, among them “Pelikanen” (the Pelican), for those with a taste for a tavern-band; “Stable Bar” (now “Men’s Bar”) for the fellows who enjoyed the flavor of other fellows; and “Floss,” which opened its doors during the pre-punk period and still has a steady crew. With rockers and rollers cranking up the level of hipness by laying their heads in pretty much any available space alongside the collectives, artists, and original residents, it became something like a Copenhagen version of Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. That was before the un-democratic property prices destroyed everything. The action literally never stopped: a morning bar owned by the legendary trombonist Papa Bue, where the virtuoso swing pianist Ole Dixon (another legend in his own right) would start a live set at 5am. The nights turned into days and became nights again. And then there was Teglkroen, with a street sign that simply read: “ØL = JAZZ” (“BEER = JAZZ”).
In the middle of it all was Sabine’s Cafeteria, a humble coffee shop, with rolls and cheese and fresh-brewed coffee, all day long. The proprietor sold it and spitefully transformed it into a “bar” with obvious inspiration from the south... and the city’s first tastes of tapas and Spanish brandy. But looking back, Sabine’s continued with respect for the neighborhood and, after a short period among the hippest spots of the city - flocked to by models, photographers, journalists, advertisers and what have you - became the social hub of all of Teglgårdsstræde. The staff was fond of jazz music and Sabine’s participated early on as a venue for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival with daily concerts. They put a focus on duo performances, with no admission fees. Owner Tim Christiansen insisted that Sabine’s was something of a living room for the clientele, and that no payment should be made. Instead, the live music was his annual gift to all the “tribes.” The great atmosphere and the consistently high quality of music are remembered by many with joy, but unfortunately the experiences only existed in memories… Or so we thought. Recently discovered in the estate of a dearly beloved and departed Danish jazz aficionado (and a member of the cycling team “Team Sabine’s”) was an breathtakingly brilliant duo recording with guitarists Doug Raney and Nicolai Gromin playing at Sabine’s Cafeteria. And the greatness of the concert the recording holds up to memory! Magnificent jazz, a totally relaxed game of two equilibrists, two jazz guitarists in full command of their instruments, both with an overview and great mutual respect for (and trust in) one another. Their shared, deep insight into and dissemination of the jazz guitar tradition is brilliantly presented on these tapes.
Both musicians, without superstar-status or gimmickytheatrics in their playing, became inspiring parts of the Copenhagen jazz environment. Doug Raney originated from New York and died in Copenhagen in May 2016, at 56 years old. Nicolai Gromin was born in Moscow in 1938, moved in parallel with Doug around the same time in 1978, where he died in February of 2017.
Doug’s musicality didn’t simply appear out of nowhere. His father was the trailblazing guitarist Jimmy Raney, and Doug chose not only the same instrument, but also the same direction as his father. He became a sought-after musician on stages both at home and abroad and recorded several wonderful albums for SteepleChase Records in his own name, with both Danish and international musicians, including the great Chet Baker. Nicolai Gromin’s career began in the 1950s, while studying economics at home in Moscow, where he became a key figure on the jazz scene and in 1962 became the first Russian jazz musician to perform outside Russia. In Denmark, he played with Thad Jones Eclipse, violinist Svend Asmussen, and bassist Jesper Lundgaard, with whom he released the duo recordings “Blues For Thad” and “Nostalgia.” He can also be heard with his own trio and quartet, on “Blue In Green,” released on Stunt Records. He was a sophisticated, delicate musician, with a warm singing tone. A quiet and humble person whose art deserves greater attention.
The tunes are typical, natural choices for both guitarists - melodic standards. They each brought their favorites, as well an original composition. Doug brought “Something’s Up,” which starts the set, and Nicolai, “Blues for Thad,” which closes it. It’s the feeling and atmosphere of the music, transporting us back to that afternoon in that room, that counts. Doug can be heard with his bright tone in the left channel and Gromin with his darker sound in the right. His sound is softer, stemming from the timbres of Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery, while Doug’s is based on the sound that his father created. A major summit between East and West took place in Pisserenden on July 6, 1993 - everything else is just rumors! Sabine’s Cafeteria is still there. The music is different, but otherwise, thanks to current owners Karl Johan and Mikkel, things haven’t changed that much. And on the walls, you can still enjoy Gorm Valentin’s original photos from the festival years.
Maria Faust, the 38-year-old Estonian composer, saxophonist, bandleader, and resident of Denmark, has already made remarkable musical waves that have sent her and her bands on trips to concert halls and music festivals around the world.
Maria Faust grew up under the Communist regime in Estonia, where she was classically educated, and yet gladly compares her music school to a “barracks for child soldiers.” At the conservatory there, she didn’t feel that there was room for her, musically. Mozart was supposed to sound like Mozart, and Bach like Bach, which left her yearning for something different. In Tallinn, jazz and improvisational music took hold of her, but in order to develop further, she had to leave the country. With the help of the Danish Cultural Institute, Maria Faust came to the Southern Danish Music Conservatory. Even in her new surroundings, she felt did not fit into the world of jazz. “I am a child of communism! I did not swing. I marched! So, I finally just tried to be faithful to myself. It was a choice I made.” A conviction which she holds onto stubbornly, even to this day.
Maria Faust neither plays nor composes in traditional ways, and has no interest in doing so. Her big breakthrough, the very personal album SACRUM FACERE (Latin: human sacrifice), documents this well. It is an album that gets its inspiration from the culture in and around the Russian-Estonian border region, where descendants of deported orthodox Russians still live. Here, she collected work songs, hymns, and lullabies, and merged the material with classical music and free improvisation. The album received universally positive reviews, culminating in two Danish Music Awards in 2014 (“Jazz Composer of the Year” and “Jazz Crossover Release of the Year”).
In early 2016, Maria and the Danish singer and composer Kira Skov travelled to Estonia, where they discovered a region where time seemed to stand still. Breaking new creative ground together in an abandoned Russian Orthodox Church without electricity or water, they recorded their collaborative spiritually oriented masterpiece, IN THE BEGINNING, with a large band and Estonian Choir. The Danish newspaper Berlingske awarded the recording 6/6 stars and called it “a unique work of great sacred beauty ... The recordings that Skov and Faust have come home with are simply formidable.” As of November 2017, the release has been nominated for 3 Danish Music Awards: Jazz Release of the Year, Vocal Jazz Release of the Year, and Jazz Composer(s) of the Year.
Boldness is the hallmark of Maria Faust, her music, and her projects with ensembles that explore unusual instrumentations and techniques. She is constantly expanding her sound spectrum, and her new project, MACHINA, consists of an unprecedented mix of traditional musical forms paired with improvisation, jazz, and soundscapes. In a musical language of her own invention, she delivers her original compositional ideas, a chamber music universe without drums, but with horns, two basses, cello, and piano, all in a fascinating interaction with the engines of fishing boats sputtering their way through the fog, the creaks of old rusty hulls, the hum of the breeze and the call of the birds out at sea.
Marc Sinan’s third ECM release is an evocative duo album with Oğuz Büyükberber which subtly covers a lot of ground. The guitarist and the clarinettist have worked together in many contexts since first meeting in Istanbul a decade ago, and Büyükberber previously appeared on Hasretim: Journey to Anatolia, released in 2013, as well as in Sinan’s music-theatre piece Komitas. The individual musical directions of the two players have effectively converged from opposite poles: Marc was trained as a classical guitarist in the western European tradition, but has increasingly been drawn to improvisation and Turkish material, while Oğuz started out with Turkish music and jazz before exploring free improvisation and contemporary composition. For White, both musicians provide new music. Sinan’s five-part “Upon Nothingness” incorporates his musical response to recordings of songs of Armenian prisoners deported to Germany during the First World War. These historic field recordings are woven into the fabric of Sinan’s pieces, which also make liberal use of electronics, blurring the distinction between the real and the surreal. Oğuz Büyükberber also contributes a series of linked pieces, “There, I-V”, in which both musicians improvise around predetermined pitch sets. White was recorded in Oslo’s Rainbow Studio in October 2016 and produced by Manfred Eicher.
One-of-a-kind guitarist and record-maker Steve Tibbetts has an association with ECM dating back to 1981, with his body of work reflecting that of an artist who follows his own winding, questing path. The BBC has described his music as “an atmospheric brew… brilliant, individual.” Life Of…, his ninth album for the label, serves as something of a sequel to his 2010 ECM release, Natural Causes, which Jazz Times called “music to get lost in.” Like the earlier album, Life Of… showcases the richness of his Martin 12-string acoustic guitar, along with his gamelan-like piano and artfully deployed field samples of Balinese gongs; the sonic picture also incorporates the sensitive percussion of long-time musical partner Marc Anderson and the almost subliminal cello drones of Michelle Kinney. Tibbetts, though rooted in the American Midwest, has made multiple expeditions to Southeast Asia, including Bali and Nepal; not only the sounds but the spirits of those places are woven into his musical DNA as much as the expressive inspiration of artists from guitarist Bill Connors to sarangi master Sultan Khan. Life Of… has a contemplative shimmer like a reflecting pool, with most of the album’s pieces titled after friends and family, living and past.
Norwegian-Danish author Lars Saabye Christensen is one of Scandinavia most widely-praised and prolific contemporary writers. For many years now, in the course of his travels around the globe, he has been sending “hotel poems” to his friend Ketil Bjørnstad, inviting him to make music out of them. These literary postcards explore a range of moods. Bjørnstad says: “I feel very connected to the lonely, existential perspective of these poems, made in different hotel rooms.” For this recording, Ketil worked closely with singer and actress Anneli Drecker, former lead vocalist of pop group Bel Canto. Settings of poetry form a special category in Norwegian pianist-composer Bjørnstad’s discography and A Suite of Poems is a song cycle to put alongside such projects as A Passion for John Donne, Sunrise, and The Light.
Barcelona (Apolo), Madrid (Clamores), Zarautz (Adarretatik Musika Jaialdia) y Elorrio (Festival Musikaire) son finalmente las ciudades de nuestro país que se han hecho con un hueco en la apretada agenda de The Souljazz Orchestra el próximo julio.
Las entradas para los conciertos de Madrid y Barcelona ya se pueden adquirir a través de Eventbrite, y en las webs de las salas. Los conciertos en Zarautz y Elorrio serán gratuitos.
El colectivo más trabajador y viajero de Canadá está de vuelta con uno de sus mejores albums hasta la fecha, un abrasador viaje hacia lo tropical desde el soul, el jazz o el afrobeat en su “Under Burning Skies”. Y si pensabas que el vinilo era lo único que volvía a estar de moda, te lo puedes llevar hasta en casette.
Las épocas turbulentas piden voces fuertes, y el nuevo directo de The Souljazz Orchestra combina un fuerte componente lírico, observaciones irónicas, y el impulso para un cambio progresista. Musicalmente, la banda sigue explorando sus límites, desempolvando por primera vez sintetizadores vintage y cajas de ritmo de los 80, trayendo toques de disco lo-fi, boogie y electro a sus arreglos de viento y su sonido terroso, marca de la casa. La combinación da jugosos frutos, y el grupo suena de la mejor manera posible desde el principio hasta el final del espectáculo.
No hay muchas bandas que hayan estado funcionando durante más de 15 años con su formación original intacta mientras todavía suenan tan frescas como ésta. Como dice el saxofonista Ray Murray, "Souljazz es más que una banda para nosotros, es una forma de vida".
Un disco hipnóticamente rítmico frente al que tu cuerpo no quedará impasible: moverás la cabeza, levantarás la rodilla al compás, o aporrearás con tus manos lo primero que encuentres. Ahora imagina el directo.

Louisiana (TFC)– Louisiana’s shores are once again swelling to devour homes and businesses, streets and roads. Record flooding interrupted the lives of thousands, killing at least 13 in the process. As rescue operations continue, onlookers realize that climate change can’t be closeted anymore. Will this most recent lash from nature shake Americans into responding to the crisis? Or is nothing to be learned?
Climate change is a very complicated phenomenon, related to and affecting numerous planetary functions. There’s the obvious warming factor encouraging many to use the phrase “global warming”. Worsening floods are resulting from an atmosphere increasingly moistened by human activities. As more water vapor is retained, even more can be dished out.
A National Academy of Sciences study examined heat wave trends, finding the excess atmospheric moisture. NAS’s analysis on international trends indicate “heavy rain events have been becoming heavier over the last several decades.” According to the study, Washington Post reports, current climate models “very consistently” predict future weather events.
According to Washington Post, researchers could potentially design a model of weather events in the a world without human activity. Such an “attribution study”–as it’s called–hasn’t yet been conducted though. Even then, climate scientists are dubious if the cause would be identified, or if yet more questions will surface. For scientists, being as specific as possible takes priority over hasty, rushed work. Or at least it’s supposed to be that way.
Researcher Katherine Hayhoe feels “we design our infrastructure and plan our society looking backwards.” “Looking backwards does keep us safe”, she says, Washington Post reports, “when the climate is stable.” Our climate is changing, however, and “relying on the past to predict the future will give us the wrong answer.” That answer, Hayhoe confesses, may endanger the species.
Over 2,800 people remain in shelters following Louisiana’s disaster, BBC reports. Campaigning politicians visited, including Republican nominee Donald Trump and Green Party Candidate Jill Stein. Dr. Stein decried the floods as “further evidence posed by the global crisis of climate change.” “Until we humans make global sweeping changes to our economic system”, she continues, “we must expect these types of disasters to happen regularly.” Although Trump has called the climate crisis a hoax, he aided the unloading of supplies for survivors.
But while people pay respects, little conversation on how to prevent–or prepare for–another flood is being held. Stein is one of the only candidates–besides former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders–who’s regularly cried out for radical responses to the climate crisis. Other nations realize they can’t wait, and have taken measures to prepare for future disasters. Systems such as early warnings for floods, and architectural adaptations are being developed across Africa and the pacific islands. Agriculture and food sustentation is also a factor, as some areas will experience intense drought, or have floods contaminate farms.
They need the world’s attention and support, as their successes will foreshadow humanity’s future chances. Climate change isn’t waiting for it to become politically and financially beneficial, nor for naysayers to wake up. Louisiana show’s the need to not only green technology and decrease of our carbon footprint, but preparations for what’s already going to come.

This is the basket that I keep all my macramé how-to books in. (Why yes, that is a vintage macramé owl kit behind it!) I decided to spiffy it up a bit with a new label....a new, macramé label.
Ok, so the tag itself isn't macraméd, but I still dig it. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I'm quite pleased with myself! This is the first macramé thing I've made since my weird obsession began. I made lots of macramé jewellery when I was in my early 20s, but at the time I didn't know that macramé was just a bunch of different knots. So what do you think?
Six of those eight sentences had the word macramé in it. Oh wait, now it's seven out of ten.
So, are you going to make that kit????
Hiya....thanks for popping over to my blog!
I once went to a knot convention...it was really interesting....such a complicated thing to do!
It is indeed! And it takes lots of time and patience too.
Pop Tarts and Lovecraft and cross stitch! Oh my!

Why did Monsanto's latest GE foods get a free pass into Canada?
Health Canada has begun permitting genetically engineered (GE, also called genetically modified or GM) foods onto the market without any health safety assessment. Our government has never adequately examined the safety of GE foods and crops but has now dropped the pretence altogether.
After almost 15 years of approving the varieties of GE soy, canola and corn that we now eat, Health Canada has stopped bothering with the formalities. This complete lack of safety evaluation is not an oversight or loophole in the regulation of GE crops and foods however. Rather, it is the deliberate extension of a regulatory system that relies on corporate data and was designed to support the industry.
On July 15, Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences announced that they had received approval to introduce their new eight-trait GE corn 'SmartStax' into Canada and the U.S. But Health Canada did not assess 'SmartStax' for human health safety and didn’t even authorize it. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) officially approved the environmental release of 'SmartStax' but didn’t conduct an environmental risk assessment. Furthermore, the CFIA actually substantially weakened a critical environmental stewardship rule just for the introduction of ‘SmartStax’ -- without publishing a justification.
Canada’s approval of ‘SmartStax’ corn without health safety evaluation contradicts an international guidelines that our government helped to negotiate. “Stacking” multiple GE traits together is accomplished by crossing GE plants and the UN Codex food safety guideline explicitly states that conventional breeding of GE plants can give rise to unintended effects and that safety assessments should therefore be conducted. Canada is wilfully ignoring this guideline because following it would require fundamental change.
Canada excluded ‘SmartStax’ from safety assessment because the eight GE traits stacked together in the GE corn were previously approved individually in other GE foods. As far as Canadian regulators are concerned, if single GE traits have already been approved in separate crops, there’s no need to evaluate the safety of new stacked-trait crops. Canadian regulations, such as they are, merely limit safety assessments to so-called “novel traits”, which includes GE traits. Even the combination of eight traits in the case of ‘SmartStax’ did not warrant examination.
For Health Canada, GE foods are not regulated as the products of genetic engineering but are regulated as “Novel Foods”, identified by their “Novel Traits”. Health Canada does not classify ‘SmartStax’ as a “Novel Food” because its traits are not novel, having been approved earlier in separate foods. If the traits are not novel, the regulations are not triggered.
The category of “Novel Foods” and “Plants with Novel Traits” is unique to Canada and includes non-GE foods and crops, like products of conventional plant breeding and mutagenesis. It was created to regulate GE foods and crops without naming or singling out the technology of genetic engineering. By constructing an approval process that is limited to evaluating the “novelty” of traits rather than identifying risk questions raised by the process of genetic engineering, the government is supporting quicker GE product approvals.
In authorizing release of ‘SmartStax’ without approval from Health Canada, the CFIA has also ignored a safeguard it established in the wake of the first major GE food recall. In response to the contamination of our food system with ‘Starlink’ corn which was approved for animal feed but not for humans, the federal government decided to only approve GE crops for growing if they were also approved for human consumption. This was designed to protect public health, the food industry, and farmers from contamination by unapproved GE foods.
Without mandatory labeling of GE foods or post-market monitoring of the population, Health Canada is not tracking any possible health impacts. This is helpful to Health Canada if they are going to continue allowing GE foods on the market without requesting and assessing safety data.
The scandal of ‘SmartStax’ extends further than health questions, however, as the CFIA not only failed to assess the environmental risks of this GE corn but also significantly reduced one of its only environmental stewardship requirements for ‘SmartStax’. Without providing a rationale, the CFIA reduced the required size of refuge areas to 5 from 20 per cent. These refuge areas are a percentage of a Bt crop area that is planted with non-Bt crops as a strategy to slow insect resistance. By giving insects somewhere to go, some insects remain susceptible to the Bt toxins. Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) is a naturally occurring soil borne organism that can be used topically by organic farmers to control pests. The genes from Bt have been genetically engineered into corn to make the plant act as a pesticide, and are speeding the development of insect resistance because the GE plants express the Bt toxin in every cell, all the time.
The reduction of the refuge area means that Monsanto can sell 15 per cent more ‘SmartStax’ seeds to farmers. This is a tremendous coup for Monsanto and Dow which between them own eight patents in the one seed and will charge up to 45 per cent more for ‘SmartStax.’ ‘SmartStax’ will quickly replace other GE corn on the market and will rapidly enter the food chain as livestock feed and processed food ingredients (not to mention being turned into ethanol for fuel).
Industry has always assured Canadians that GE foods are safe because the regulatory system has approved them. But the federal government cannot make the claim that stacked trait GE foods are safe because they have not evaluated their safety -- Health Canada has not even officially approved them.
This outcome is not a design flaw in our regulatory system but is an illustration of the limitations that were deliberately designed into the system. The regulation of GE crops and foods in Canada is constructed to be flawed in order to permit the predictable and speedy approval of GE products. The system fails from the perspective of public health and environmental protection but works perfectly well for Monsanto and other huge biotech seed companies.
Unless the government is content to entirely abandon its claim to protect public health and the environment in relation to GE foods and crops, the CFIA must withdraw authorization for ‘SmartStax’ pending environmental and human health safety risk assessments. But to do so should trigger deep structural change.
There has never been a democratic debate over the introduction of GE crops and foods in Canada, there is no mandatory labeling of GE ingredients and, despite 58 recommendations for change from a Royal Society of Canada Panel in 2001, there has never been an attempt to reform our regulatory system. With ‘SmartStax,’ Canadians are faced with the urgent need for this reform.
Lucy Sharratt is Coordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.
Percy Schmeiser took Monsanto to Small Claims Court because they refused to pay him for his costs to remove Roundup Ready canola from his fields unless he signed a release and a gag order.
The most complex genetically engineered corn (maize) yet has been approved for use next year in Canada and the United States without its potential health and environmental risks being investigated, anti-biotech activists claim.

There is a website called Newspaper Death Watch, which chronicles North American metro dailies that have closed since the website was launched in March 2007. It also lists the dailies that have reduced their publication frequency, or have created a hybrid of print/online content.
The cause of much of this decline has been the preponderance of free online content, leading to plunging levels of advertising revenues. In an online world where everyone and anyone can be a filmmaker, photographer, and/or writer, advertisers have veered from newspapers as a main avenue of reaching customers. As a result, print advertising-driven revenues have fallen dramatically throughout the world and staff began losing their jobs, as newspapers and magazines ceased to be a haven for journalists.
Many former journalists however are finding fruitful careers outside news publications, including writing for smaller publications. In Australia, for instance, where ad revenues of print publications peaked in 2008 at AU$5 billion and are now down to AU$300 million, independent magazines with smaller circulations and lower overhead costs are thriving. This has opened the door for many journalists to write for a smaller, more targeted audiences, such as stay-at-home mothers, brides, surfers, or travellers.
Former journalists are also now writing for industry and trade — including healthcare — that produce regular publications for their members. Business journalists in particular can use their expertise in writing about trends, opportunities, forecasts, and analyses for a particular industry, while former medical reporters can now write articles geared to patients or the healthcare industry itself.
Finally, content marketing or brand journalism has proven to be a worthy second career for many former journalists. It calls for the same set of skills, tools, and techniques in order to tell the story of a brand or a company and engage readers to connect with a product. It goes beyond the catchy tagline and the crisp copy of advertising materials to deliver a narrative. It starts a conversation with the reader as it conveys the brand’s history, meaning, value, and relevance.
Although traditional journalism might have faded, journalists themselves are alive and well in their many incarnations, and, as always, opportunities abound for the most intrepid of them.

While at university studying Computer Science, Alan Cole noticed how creating citations was slow and error prone. He decided to design and program a citation generator that could help students with their citations and in 2008 Citefast was born. Originally it was designed and programmed solely by Alan Cole.
Within a few years, the traffic on the website had grown to a significant size. Alan started working on the website full time. He also recruited his mother Lucy Cole, a web programmer to help with the development of the site. New features such as website lookup, book lookup, journal lookup, footnotes, account creation (with multiple bibliographies), bibliography management were added to the site.
Over a decade old, Citefast is visited by millions of students/professionals every year.
On average 110,000 citations are created every day. More than one every second! So accuracy is a must for us. We have spent a lot of time reviewing the citations and cross checking them with the official manuals. We receive very few complaints about citations being formatted incorrectly, even though some professors love digging through bibliographies looking for errors.
Occasionally when someone does email us telling us our site has formatted a citation incorrectly, this has been, from not reading our tool tips/warning messages. Unfortunately some information such as sentence case titles or choosing when to use date accessed cannot be generated automatically.
We have tried our best to make sure people never miss a warning message while still maintaining the ease of use of our website. Please pay attention to the tool tips and messages!
By keeping it free we hope that people will come back and recommend the site to others. Hopefully in the future most applications online will be free, supplemented with advertisement and donations. Advertisement and donations are the only income of the site, and we plan to keep it that way!
Updating to current manuals is always an ongoing process. We are always working on new features to improve the website. Stay tuned! We are also looking to work with directly with more schools. If you would like an ad free version for your educational institution please contact us.

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan, T.D., was today (Thursday 17 May) joined by 4th class students of St. Patrick’s National School, Garristown and founder of Fighting Words Roddy Doyle for the announcement of the new Creative Ireland Programme Scheme 2018/2019.
The Creative Ireland Programme is a culture-based wellbeing initiative which is guided by a vision that every person in Ireland will have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential. It is a five year all-of-Government Programme, from 2017 to 2022, to place creativity at the centre of public policy. In 2017, the Creative Ireland Programme supported a range of successful talks, workshops and events on culture, creativity and well-being, to encourage deeper understanding and appreciation of the role of creativity and to promote the new Programme’s objectives and underlying values.
This new Scheme aims to identify, support and collaborate with a range of strategic partners on projects which are genuinely innovative, will significantly add value and/or scale to the implementation of the Programme and which will help inform policy and/or cross-sectoral development in the area of culture, creativity and wellbeing. Grants of between €10,000 and €70,000* are available to individuals, organisations, community groups, colleges and cultural institutions, amongst others, from an overall fund of €500,000 for this year. Three themes have been identified as areas of priority for the Partnership Scheme – Individual and Collective Wellbeing, Innovation and Connecting Communities.
Speaking at the announcement of the Creative Ireland Programme Scheme 2018, Minister Madigan T.D., said: “The Creative Ireland Programme is an ambitious and ground-breaking initiative which aims to enhance individual and collective wellbeing through increased participation in creative activity. Much has been achieved in the first year of the Programme, from Culture Teams in every Local Authority finalizing their five-year Culture and Creativity plans to the cross-departmental implementation of the ambitious Creative Youth Plan, which is now well underway. We’re also looking forward to announcing details shortly of our first Cruinniú na nÓg, a national day of youthful creativity, which will unlock the creative potential of children and young people with events taking place in towns and communities across the country.
Details and application forms for the Creative Ireland Programme Scheme 2018/2019 are available at creative.ireland.ie. Deadline for receipt of application forms is midnight Friday 8 June 2018.
*The Department retains the right to amend the funding thresholds.
National Museum of Ireland – to grow and expand the Irish Community Archive Network and reach new and wider audiences.
Applications to the Creative Ireland Programme Scheme 2018 will be assessed by an independent panel of experts, with recommendations submitted to a Review Group chaired by the Director of the Creative Ireland Programme for sign-off and submission to Minister Madigan for approval.

Hey, a girl’s gotta make a buck, right?
So, it is always intriguing when senior members of the anti-vaccination group declare that the AVN is not anti-vaccine. And, by “intriguing”, I mean deceitfully hilarious to the point of emesis.
I mean, how can the words “institute”, “cetacean”, and “research” possibly mean anti-live whale? It makes no sense.
I’m not going to get into the evidence – provided every time the AVN says words and things which resemble words – that the AVN push an anti-vaccine agenda. We know about it. It’s why we’re here, after all.
I just want to show the individual beliefs of the AVN’s leaders. After all, they have no say as to how the organisation is run, or the information the AVN provides. This is how organisations run, isn’t it?
“Hard to explain”, says Dorey. You think?
Is that a disclaimer in parentheses?
Just who at the AVN is not anti-vaccine?
Just change your damn name and grow up. Be honest with the community.
This entry was posted in anti-vaccination dishonesty, australian vaccination network, AVN, meryl dorey, stop the australian vaccination network and tagged anti vaccination, australian vaccination network, AVN, dishonesty, Greg Beattie, meryl dorey. Bookmark the permalink.
Wow! “pushed vaccines”, “instruments of death” “murderers” “poison” “vaccine lie.” If that’s not anti-vaccine, what is?
But, But, “I’m only anti-vaccine for MYSELF – not for anyone else”. (Deep down, they know they work).

All Favorite Bowls start with the BAS, which is our own Spoons granola, followed by 5oz of açai, then a layer of sliced bananas. From there, we created a theme and turned it into an edible dream. Enjoy.

Intelligent Improvement Consultants Inc.Intelligent Improvement Consultants Inc.
One pillar of I2C's business involves evidence-informed health management consulting, including strategic planning, project management, technology adoption, clinical program development and implementation, and change management. We have worked extensively with organizations that are adopting Electronic Medical Records to assist with change management, strategic planning, and implementation. Our services also include original research to identify and explore socio-behavioural and clinical factors that influence health and health outcomes, and contribute to decision-making, and the design and implementation of community and institution-specific programs and interventions.
A second pillar is program evaluation, performance improvement and measurement of health programs and services designed to reduce the incidence and burden of chronic disease and improve the performance of the health system. This includes logic models, designing performance improvement and measurement plans, executing multi-method data gathering strategies, and creating consumable reports and technical appendices that can be shared efficiently and effectively with stakeholders to inform decision-making and quality improvement strategies.
I2C’s third pillar involves the application of a proprietary instrument that measures the effects of health conditions, risk factors, and work-environment factors on absenteeism, presenteeism and productivity loss in the workplace. The instrument, developed for InBalance (Germany), has been licensed to I2C for North America. Developed over a twelve-year period, the tool is based on the latest research and has been applied in different work environments. Not only does it help to identify “hot spots” for management and human resources professionals to address and strengthen existing programs for their employees, it can be used to evaluate the impact of these interventions to improve the quality of the workplace.

Jeannette “Jamie” Garcia is the researcher credited with discovering a virtually indestructible, recyclable, Nitrogen-based polymer known as “polyhexahydrotriazine” (PHT); though behind its existence, lies an accident. As the by-product of ambitious experimentation, PHT made its appearance when a reagent was left out of a beaker that held the ingredients for observing a random polymeric reaction.
A show of its resilience and robustness was evident early on as the container had to be smashed to extricate the hardened lump. Even then, the researchers were unable to harm the solidified PHT specimen.
Once thoroughly investigated, this preliminary form of the thermoset polymer was taken to IBM where the power of its supercomputers was leveraged in conjunction with lab experiments to adopt a ‘back to the source’ approach. During these trials, several thousand polymeric combinations and reactions were simulated to replicate the thermoset materials and structures found in polyhexahydrotriazine.
An estimate of the scope of PHT use in industries has already been pegged at billions of dollars. Until now, scientists were unsure how to recycle polymers and other thermoset plastics.
What is a Thermoset Polymer?
Tolerating high stress– When mixed with carbon fillers it can resist repeated onslaughts of duress thus providing the transportation industry with a class of plastics worth investing in.
Forming spontaneous bonds between polymeric links– Combining PHT with Polyhemiaminal (PHA) creates an incredibly strong bond which can be used in various adhesive applications.
Reverting to viscous state when dipped in sulphuric acid– As a result, pliability is regained and damaged or discarded parts can be remolded into useful products.
Polyhexahydrotriazine (PHT) offers an array of commercial and industrial uses due to its strength, weight, and ability to be recycled.
Aerospace divisions are intrigued by the material and may soon develop wings and other body parts for aircraft use. Using PHT in combination with PHA could form high strength bonds for adhering parts that incur harsh environmental conditions.
Semiconductors comprised of PHT can take advantage of its recyclability. Defective or broken chips could be tweaked and reworked rather than trashed and wasted. This would also amount to cost and waste reduction.
