The latest piece from the apparently non-existent LA lawyer Richard Lee Abrams describes the city’s mobility plan as being an evil plot to force people out of their cars and onto transportation appropriate for 1895 New York.
He also accuses the city of capitalizing on pedestrian deaths to meet that nefarious goal, rather than just, say, trying to keep anyone else from getting killed.
Never mind that the easy solution he recommends for improving safety on Vista del Mar is exactly what the city tried. And then undid when South Bay commuters were revolting.

You are against parents driving their kids to school?
Demand from who, the government?
Parents driving kids to school drop their kids off; they don’t need a 750 space parking garage. That only encourages more students to drive themselves to school.
Every parent that drives a kid to school means one more car contributing to LA’s epic traffic congestion. Meanwhile, every kid who walks or bikes not only helps reduce traffic, but also helps reduce America’s obesity epidemic, while allowing the kids arrive at school bright and ready to learn.
And yes, it’s the city government that’s responsible for installing bike lanes and improving sidewalks, as well as adjusting traffic signals to improve safety, although the school can and should contribute to that.

Hello lovelies! What have you been up to this week? Monday night, in celebration of the warm front, I grabbed drinks with a few friends after work. We got a bucket of seasonal SUMMER beer and even sat out on the patio for a little bit. Yesterday, I had to go to some job training (complete with many poorly acted educational videos) but the commute to and fro with the sun shinin’ and all my windows rolled down totally made it a-ok! I even squeezed in a walk around my neighborhood at sunset. Life’s possibilities seem endless to me when the weather is warm! ….We just won’t mention the fact that my weather app said it was supposed to snow today….that can’t be true, right? I hope the rest of your week is full of the promises of Spring and here are a few links just for you!

‘Water has reached first floor. It is rising quickly. Urgent Help needed. Very little drinking water or food. We are at this address…’, and it ends with ‘PLS SHARE’. The Facebook status was calmly written in the face of impending danger. The post is made visible for all to see; it travels multiple times around the globe and it doesn’t take long before people start responding, ‘I can get supplies,’ one replies, ‘I’ve reported to concerned people in your area,’ another replied and ‘We will be there in 2 hrs,’ a volunteer group posts.
This was Chennai and her neighbouring cities in south India, saving themselves from flood waters while the world’s attention was focused on the Paris terror incident and the Indian national media turned into a circus over a Bollywood actor’s misinformed, misconstrued and misplaced comments (the contents of which are not relevant to this post).
Despite the death toll crossing 300, without social media interaction and the marriage of old and new technologies the tragedy could have been even greater. The Facebook post above (not actual words) is one among the thousands being posted online and shared to gather resources, such as manpower and relief supplies. This is social media turned life saver. And joining Facebook was Twitter, where hashtags such as #chennairains and #chennaifloods helped track calls for help, and not far behind was WhatsApp where strangers joined local volunteer ‘groups’ to which they could contribute. And when communication infrastructure broke down the HAM radio operators kicked in, forming a net of radio operators working across India and from within the flood hit areas to feed information to the public and to the government rescue agencies.
The floods have been attributed to unprecedented rains coupled with poor urban planning. With rising flood waters people took to social media platforms to call for help. So where did it all go right?
A chaotic environment always leads to irrelevant or inaccurate information being generated. But as crowd sourced information grew, so did a rigorous peer review process set itself in place to filter and remove any unwanted piece of information. Posts on social media were being verified by people using any means possible. Common people became investigative journalists and news broadcasters; Photos and videos monitored rising flood waters and rescue effort. Accountability and transparency gave raise to trust and thus reassured people in the effectiveness of this communication method. It also proved to foster goodwill as more and more volunteers made themselves traceable by making their contact details public.
Tamil is the language spoken in the flood affected state of Tamil Nadu and further differences arose with different regional dialects. The language barrier was evident when government rescue agencies from other states reached Tamil Nadu and were instantly hampered by it. Thanks to the multilingual nature of the social media platforms, people were able to publish their post in their local language which resulted in quicker responses but help was also at hand for people without the knowledge of Tamil. Netizens became translators; posts in Tamil were translated to English and vice versa and reposted. For the HAM radio operators, they overcame the language problem by simply writing down what they heard in their own language and then repeating it verbatim. This was of major help to migrant workers who had travelled from other states to Tamil Nadu.
A great pat on the back goes for the tech savvy youths armed with smartphones when it came to coordinating and managing resources. As relief material and volunteers began to arrive, the need to coordinate people and to ensure quick delivery to affected areas became critical especially in the case of distribution of perishable goods. People took to tagging and joining groups. There were groups who collected food, groups to rescue animals and groups to transport people. They sifted through huge amounts of information and published reliable posts. Houses, colleges and community buildings became distribution hubs. Travel maps were posted and safe routes were identified. Contact details were published from whom help could be obtained based on the area they were in. Feedback from those stuck in their houses was fed into social media resulting in identifying important relief materials needed.
The flood waters are receding and the cities are slowing heading back to normalcy but the tempo hasn’t slowed. Clean up operations are in full swing and tremendous examples of humanity were witnessed during and in the aftermath. This episode is an example of old technology complemented by new. People interacted and actively engaged for the community as a whole, this is an example of going beyond the ‘Likes’. Social media is out there and we need to harness it.

Just a few days ago, Nintendo rolled out a new firmware update for the Nintendo Switch which brought its firmware up to version 7.0.0. This update didn’t really make any significant changes to the OS on the surface, but it looks like Nintendo may have scrambled some of its own code.
Several Switch users have been reporting issues with the digital game sharing feature after updating to the new firmware. The problem deals with the system sending a ping to the servers to verify the game licenses when playing a shared title, which it does every three hours. The problem, as described by Reddit user ‘vicroft’ is that when the license check occurs, this causes the game he’s playing to display an error code and shut down. He can re-open the game and carry on, but obviously, this would be a massive nuisance to anyone in the middle of a gaming session. The issue ‘vicroft’ discovered is being shared by other Switch users, as seen in the comments of his thread. So, it does seem like this problem has to do with the recent update after all.
Nintendo has yet to comment on the matter. But, hopefully it is aware of this situation and will release a hotfix sooner rather than later. While it’s always ironic for an update to create new problems, this certainly isn’t the first time something like this has occurred, and it very well likely won’t be the last. This is merely a part of the modern age of devices where updates are becoming more and more essential.

The act of gift-giving during the festive season serves as a reminder of why our loved ones mean so much to us. This season, SK-II's signature Facial Treatment Essence comes in a limited edition collection of four distinct designs, created in collaboration with artist Po-Chih Huang, with each bearing symbolic meaning through flowers and colours.
To assist in choosing which of the four bottles will make the best gift for your loved ones, four of SK-II's beautiful ambassadors have reflected on who they would give each limited edition bottle to, and why.
Ideal for the woman who displays incredible passion in life, this bottle adorned with energetic red tulip petals symbolizes vitality and a dynamic spirit.
With its subtle scent and a graceful appearance, the freesia is a perfect metaphor for understated elegance, and the bottle's symbolically optimistic yellow hues make it the perfect gift for someone whose radiance glows from within.
""The freesia is a symbol of Spring, with its crisp yellow color," says the newly-wed Chinese actress. "The bright yellow flowers, the golden beaches, and the blazing sun represent a hopeful lifestyle and a yearning for the pleasures in life. I’d give this to my agent, as she brings warmth to people, and her optimistic and positive outlook in life makes it feel like Spring"
The enchanting hydrangea was chosen for its symbolic representation of appreciation and gratitude, while the varying shades of purple add a thoughtful allure to the bottle - ideal for the one who always thinks of others first.
"As actresses, we are always in the spotlight, but I believe the true mark of an elegant woman does not come from the light shone on her, but rather from within the depths of her heart," says the Chinese actress. "The hydrangea symbolizes gratitude and giving thanks, and the person for whom I should be most grateful in life is definitely my mother. She has loved and cared for me so profoundly all these years, quietly supporting my work. I would not be where I am today without the selfless love and support of my mother."
Simple yet striking, the green cypress has deep-rooted symbolism in wisdom, strength and eternity. This bottle of SK-II Men represents confidence and charisma, making it the ultimate gift for the man who embodies inner strength and stability.
"There is a purity and simplicity to the Cypress tree and its connections to strength are historically deep," says the Oscar-winning actress. "This bottle is both striking and simple and speaks of an inner confidence that men and women aspire to. Black is a timeless color that looks good on every man."

The following federal laws protect a mother and her child and their right to nurse anytime, anywhere on federal property. Federal property includes such things as museums, parks, courthouses, agencies, and other public places maintained by federal funds. State laws can be viewed in more detail here.
Authorizes a woman to breastfeed her child on Federal property if the woman and child are otherwise authorized to be present at the location.
Recently, an additional federal law was put into effect that impacts nursing mothers and their right to pump milk for their babies while at work. The issue we have with this law is that it only protects nursing mothers with babies up to the age of 12 months. This is simply not enough. The WHO and AAFP have both highlighted the fact that we find detrimental health outcomes when human babies are not provided human milk for their first 24 months of life, minimum. To reflect this, and be proactive in our nation's health care, we should protect nursing mothers' relationships with their children for at least the first 2 years of a baby's life.
SEC. 4207. REASONABLE BREAK TIME FOR NURSING MOTHERS.
An employer shall provide a reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child’s birth each time such employee has need to express the milk; and a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.
Thank you for posting this new federal law. I have a business obligation in October that is off-site. My mom and daughter are traveling with me (at my own expense) as she'll just be nearly nine months old and still nursing. When I mentioned that I will need breaks throughout the day to pump (which can be 12-14 hours of work) a few of the managers were obviously annoyed by this and one even asked why I'd still be nursing since my daughter would be older than 6 months old. So I have been arming myself with knowledge of my legal rights, just in case it comes down to it. Thank you!
I am relieved to know someone out there cares about babies and moms who have to be away from their babies because of work. I wish I could stay at home, but i'm glad to know there are laws that protect my decision to pump at work.

An ELPE (Hellenic Petroleum) privatization offering a 50.1 percent stake, whose initial tender failed to produce a result last week, could be scrapped if the government finds an alternative way of raising the sale’s anticipated 500 million euros for the country’s privatization fund, highly-ranked energy ministry sources have told energypress.
“The ELPE sale is not a structural measure or market revision but was included in the privatization fund TAIPED’s program for cash-collecting purposes as the sale price achieved would have contributed to reducing the national debt,” a source noted, indicating alternative ways of raising an equivalent amount could be sought instead of an ELPE sale relaunch.
If so, the government will need to convince the country’s lenders of an alternative fund-raising plan when they arrive in Athens next month for a third post-bailout review of the Greek economy.
The Greek State was offering 20 percent of its 35.48 percent share in ELPE and the Latsis group’s Paneuropean Oil 30.1 percent of its 45.47 stake.
Glencore, an early candidate, was eventually joined by US firm Carlyle, and Dutch trading firm Vitol, the sale’s other early contender, was joined by Algeria’s Sonatrach. Neither bidding team followed through with offers last week, when the deadline for binding bids expired.

It only takes two hundred and thirty nine steps to reach a completely different city. To reach a song from the past whose ending blends with the snow that falls without sound.
At ground level in Krakow, raw pink and purple lights pulse into the vodka-warmed streets where shadows lead to staircases that crawl into underground clubs.
Here, though, at 54 metres above that icy ground, I find an open invitation to drift back through Poland’s past.
The attic of St Mary’s Basilica, the stately church that overlooks Europe’s largest square, has more than just bats in its belfry. In fact, it has a dashing young fireman who goes by the name of Michal Kolton.
Kolton, in a position he took over from his father and grandfather before him, belongs to a tradition that’s endured through these snowy skies for nearly eight hundred years.
With a flourish and a flounce the musical notes float away into the air…da-dada-da-da da d-…and then stop with a sudden choke.
I shift uneasily and pretend I haven’t noticed.
He closes the window, take a few paces along the creaky floor and repeats the procedure at the next window. Da-dada-da-da da d- An exclamation, if there can be such a thing, of unexpected silence.
Either the man must have military precision hiccups or something else is at play.
Reassuringly, it turns out to be something else.
Back in the days, a city’s resident fireman would play the warning hejnal bugle call to warn of smoke and fire or invading forces. During one such invasion (by the Tartars in 1241) the lone brave night watchman received an arrow in the neck for his troubles, cutting him off mid bugle call and launching a custom that went on to survive the Nazis.
Kolton’s not the only fireman in Krakow, of course, and a team of six more keep the cycle going, one by one, hour by hour, day by day, century by century.
Another new hour approaches and Kolton plays his cut-short tune again before throwing a self-conscious wave to the blots on the ground that cheer far below.
As for me? I’m enthralled by this city that shows me something new each time I return.
I open another window – and watch the snow fall.
Have you ever loved a city just as much the second time you saw it?
My favourite city in the world, love your pictures, and love watching people’s faces in Glowny Rynek when the Hejnal stops so abruptly.
Thank you. I love Krakow…a great city. Cheers.
Ah, *That’s* what it looks like up there!
I love Krakow. These photos and your writing definitely capture its beauty.
Thank you. I love the city – great place.
Great shots! I want to check out Krakow now too!
Such an interesting city. One of the best in Europe, I think.
I went to Krakow and loved it so much that I went again. The first time was in the dead of winter, but we loved everything, including the underground bars with university students listening to music. A very friendly town, and of course, very beautiful, as your photos show.
This was my second trip too but I’d love to go back in summer…I expect there’s a different feel to the place then.

Director Rebecca Carpenter’s father, Lewis Carpenter, was a World Championship running back for the Detroit Lions and Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers. As an NFL coach, he was one of the most respected football minds of his era. When he dies, her family receives a surprise call from Boston University’s brain bank requesting his brain – with shocking results. Lew becomes the 18th NFL player diagnosed postmortem with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative neurocognitive disorder that can cause episodes of rage, social withdrawal, and other unusual behaviors. In disbelief, Carpenter finds herself at ground zero of an unfolding public health controversy and embarks on a three-year odyssey across America to explore the farreaching implications of this “new” disease.
Using the diagnosis as an opportunity to heal their troubled relationship, Carpenter travels through time zones and generations to piece together her father’s story. But as her road trip progresses, CTE starts to permeate the national airwaves, and Carpenter realizes that hers is not the only football family shaped by a little-known disease. This simple road trip turns into a cacophony of competing sound bites and complicated family stories, ending with one question: When one in three former players will have these problems, why do we still play football?
Carpenter approaches her subjects with refreshing humor, manic curiosity, and a huge heart as Lew’s former teammates, scientists, and historians offer their insights and support. Through quirky and poignant visits with Dr. Bennet Omalu and player advocate Mike Ditka, neuropathologist Ann McKee and NFL Hall of Famer James Lofton, headline stealing NFL retiree Chris Borland and hellraiser Dave Meggyesy, Rebecca obsessively pursues every available avenue to understand her dad, including interviews with families living in the aftermath of brain damage: Ray & Mary Ann Easterling, Greg Lens & his daughter Sarah Lens, Mike & Candy Pyle and Mike’s daughter Samantha, and Penny and John Hilton.
Ultimately Carpenter must confront her own complicity in missing the signs of her father’s brain disease as she begins to understand his depression, obsessiveness, forgetfulness, and unpredictable temper were common side effects of repeat blunt force trauma to the brain.
Anyone who cares about football and the people who play it should see this film. I was moved to tears.
The movie focuses very much on football and brain damage, but it is so broadly human -- about family, and love, and loss, and the way people treat each other, and the mysteries of why, and every minute was filled with honesty and quiet power. I cried. Fascinating historical footage too. I loved this film.

How Important is Marketing at Board Level?
To all those of us from a marketing background this should be obvious – but how many of our community could answer the question in a compelling way that was unable to be reasonably challenged by those who disbelieve the true value of marketing?
In this short paper I will try to provide a simple answer which I have developed and used throughout my career as a CMO, CEO and Chairman, to other C-suite non-believers.
I need to clarify two things and frame the scope of my comments. First, this is not looking at the other old chestnut, but very important question, about “Why are there not more Marketing Directors in the Boardroom?”. Second, I am talking about an Executive Board; that is the CEO-driven operating Board, and not the NED-loaded senior Board overseeing large corporates.
Why do commercial organisations exist and survive? Actually for one reason only – because they have, and often retain, customers. A very simple, and oft forgotten, dismissed or overlooked fundamental.
Nobel Prize winner Ronald Coase (Coase, Ronald H. (1937). "The Nature of the Firm". Economica) said the reason for a company’s existence was “Satisfying customer needs via relationships we maintain.” – it may be 80 years old but I have never yet found a better, or more succinct seven words to set out so clearly what I believe describes the broad marketing task. Of course there is a huge amount of other ways marketers like to describe their role in life, including some very good ones like “Protecting and extending the cash flows of the business”, amongst many that do no justice to the fundamental importance of marketing at all!
So, if we accept this as a premise, we could enter the other popular debate around “who owns the customer?” But instead let’s just look at who runs the company, and operating team on the Board, and see what CEO’s have on their agenda.
Does this ring any bells in our marketing community?
In addition, McKinsey, and their peer organisations, are publishing on this topic. Two McKinsey papers focus on “Engaging Boards on the Future of Marketing” and “Rethinking Customer Journeys with next generation operating model”, both of which address our discussion.
So much more evidence can be found on this topic but, for the purpose of a very short think piece, I’ll summarise by saying consider the opening quote by Mr Coase on the purpose of a business, and also my statement that the only reason a business exists and survives is because it has customers. Two very simple concepts.
Which discipline trains us to be the masters of understanding customer drivers and behaviour? Which discipline also trains us to build product / service based value propositions and delivery systems, backed up by support and service models?
How important is marketing at Board level? QED.

Access vital records, biographies, wills and census data from the United Kingdom and Ireland with these websites.
Irish researchers know the importance of Griffith’s Valuation, dating from 1847 to 1864, especially given the destruction of census records from that period. Well, here you can search it for free, while also exploring e-books, biographies, church histories and Irish architecture.
When you’ve hit dead ends in your British research (as well as in other English-speaking countries worldwide), try this lesser-known paid site ($40 a year or pay per view). Its more than 850 million records include English and Welsh censuses, plus parish, probate, military and civil registration resources you likely haven’t seen elsewhere.
The volunteer transcribers here are serving up 237 million searchable birth, marriage and death (“BMD,” spanning 1837-1983) transcriptions – and counting. Sibling sites offer similarly impressive totals of transcribed UK censuses (FreeCEN) and parish records (FreeREG).

More of the same B.S. from the Whitehouse……. but of course. enough is enough, we will not be so stupid as to believe anything the government scientists throw out in propaganda…. They need to be more worried about what the battle on the non-climate change is costing in the inflation the Obama promised “costs will necessarily skyrocket”…. just my opinion, on a good story.
The White House climate change propaganda report published to coincide with the Senate hearing out. The report seems to be something along the lines of climate insurance and looking active even if it has no effect.

A new PR push on the “carbon” reduction from power plants rule sure makes it seem like they are claiming that, until you read the sentence carefully.

IRVING, Texas -- The odds of the Dallas Cowboys moving cornerback Mike Jenkins on Friday are dwindling, according to a team source.
The Cowboys haven't been able to get the value they want from a potential trade for the four-year NFL veteran.
Teams that have inquired about Jenkins have asked for draft picks, which the Cowboys are reluctant to give up.
Jenkins started 12 games last season, recording 24 tackles and one interception. But the Cowboys have been shopping him since signing former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr in the offseason and drafting LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne on Thursday.

May 21, 2018 – After the successful participation in the Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting (PALM 8), President Tommy E. Remengesau, Jr. together with his delegation, visited his fellow alumni at the Soka University in Hachioji, Japan.
Remengesau was bestowed an Honorary Doctorate Degree by the Soka University from 16 years ago in June 2002.
This second visit by President Remengesau to Soka University was to deliver the Keynote address in the University’s 2018 Commencement Exercise.
During his recent visit, the Soka University recognized President Remengesau’s leadership in environmental protection, cultural preservation, and education awareness presenting him with the Soka University’s “Cultural and Educational Recognition Award”.
With over a 100 faculty members and students present, President Remengesau accepted the award on behalf of the people of Palau thanking the Soka University Board of Trustees, Soka President Mr. Yoshihisa Baba and expressed his deep appreciation for such an esteemed recognition from the University.
President Remengesau also took the opportunity to thank again, Soka University Founder Mr. Daisaku Ikeda for the university’s warm welcome during his first visit in 2002 and extended his gratitude for the many contributions of school supplies and cultural exchanges over the years between Palau and the University since their first meeting.
President Remengesau was impressed during this visit of the modern program and infrastructural enhancements undertaken by the school since his visit in June 2002.
“I am very excited to see the level of programs and degrees Soka University offers. I hope we can work together on establishing a scholarship program to bring Palau’s students to attend Soka University in the near future,” President Remengesau remarked.
And in efforts to further strengthen the relationship between Palau and Soka University, President Remengesau proposed for the University to become the central network hub for academic research for Palauan students attending Japan’s universities, colleges, and institutions giving Palauan students improved accessibility to educational information.
After his visit at Soka University, President Remengesau and his delegation met with Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and SGI President Harada at the SGI Headquarters in Tokyo.
The President discussed about fostering youth programs with SGI and the anticipated Palau Cultural Center that Soka University Founder Ikeda is contributing to Palau for its cultural and social activities for the community.
President Remengesau expressed his excitement on the completion of the cultural center in 2018 as a vital place for gatherings of activities and especially, for major events in Palau.
President Remengesau extended an invitation to SGI President Mr. Harada for SGI to collaborate with Palau on engaging international youths to participate in the “Our Ocean” Conference to be hosted by Palau in 2020.

Endometriosis awareness month continues to power forward and I think this year has already been a major success – the buzz on Twitter, Facebook and all over the internet is incredible. I think 2013 may turn out to be the best year for endometriosis awareness yet and the only way is up!
So without further ado, let’s have a look at a few more selected pieces of endometriosis research that’s been published recently.
First up is a review paper examining all the current evidence concerning the link between chronic pelvic pain and bladder pain syndrome (BPS). The term bladder pain syndrome is often used interchangeably with interstitial cystitis (which is different from bacterial cystitis) and is characterised by painful inflammation of the bladder leading to frequent need to urinate and painful urination. The cause of BPS is often difficult to ascertain unknown (or requires trial and error investigation to find out). The above review found that, out of 1016 patients with chronic pelvic pain, 61% had BPS and 70% had endometriosis. Interestingly, in those women with endometriosis, BPS was recorded in 48% of cases. This means that almost half of women with endometriosis may suffer from bladder pain. This raises some interesting questions, perhaps most obviously –what is causing such frequent bladder pain in women with endo? Women with endometriosis are known to suffer from recurrent urinary infections, but this can be distinguished from interstitial cystitis as a urinary tract infection will clear up with antibiotic treatment. Another obvious conclusion could be endometriosis of the bladder is causing BPS. The problem is, endometriosis of the bladder is considered uncommon, occurring in around 1% of patients according to reports. It may be that, because the bladder and places endometriosis is more commonly found are close together, chronic inflammation related to pelvic endometriosis irritates the bladder as well. In order to see whether this were true, it would be useful to conduct a study following women with BPS and endo, who have had their endometriosis surgically removed and see if their BPS abates after surgery.
Next up is a study, which you can read in full here, looking at the involvement of macrophages in endometriosis. A good place to start would be asking, what is a macrophage? Macrophages (literally translated meaning ‘big eater’) are one of the many different types of cell that make up your immune system. Macrophages are found in every tissue of the body and their primary job is to ‘consume’ and destroy diseased/cancerous cells or pathogens like bacteria, then send out chemical signals recruiting other immune cells. Normally macrophages should recognise endometriotic cells as abnormal and destroy them however, as this study points out, in women with endometriosis their macrophages are somehow defective and treat endometriosis as a wound rather than diseased tissue. What this means is that macrophages actually promote the survival of endometriotic cells. As the authors of this review point out though, this opens up quite a novel avenue for the treatment of endometriosis i.e. restore the correct function of these macrophages and let your own body destroy the disease without the need for drugs or surgery. Of course how one would go about doing that, I have no idea and I’m not even sure if the ability to do so exists yet. Nevertheless it’s a fascinating prospect to consider.
Finally for this post is a study looking at whether there are any differences in the clinical characteristics of adolescent girls with endometriotic ovarian cysts (endometrioma). This study took 376 women who were undergoing surgical treatment for endometrioma and divided them into four groups according to age: Group 1 – under 20 years old, Group 2 – 21-30 years old, Group 3 – 31-40 years old, Group 4 – 41-45 years old. The clinical characteristics of these groups (e.g. menstrual history, symptoms etc) were then compared to see if there were any differences or similarities.
The authors speculate that adolescents who develop endometrioma may do so because they have more ‘adult like’ menstrual cycles (i.e. regular in terms of duration and timing). Although the authors point out a comparison with disease-free adolescents is necessary to confirm this.
There was no significant difference seen in endometrioma size, position and stage between the four groups.
Another interesting finding was that none of the women, in any of the groups, were found to have deep endometriosis. Although it is speculative to say, this does hint that endometrioma and deep endometriosis may have different origins.
It is important that studies such as these are being undertaken. Endometriosis in adolescents has, and still is, a grossly under recognised problem. More studies characterising the disease in young girls means greater awareness and earlier intervention.
The 4th annual scientific and surgical symposium on endometriosis has been held very recently by the wonderful Endometriosis Foundation of America. This conference brought together expert surgeons, scientists and women with endo from all over America and the world to talk about advances in our understanding of the disease.
If you couldn’t be there and missed the live broadcasts, don’t worry! You can watch all the talks and presentations as streaming videos via this link. They’re well worth a watch; I guarantee you’ll learn something you never knew about endo!

So as you can probably remember, I signed off for a week last week to go on an Internet free family holiday. Our ten and a half hour journey took us all the way up to Scotland, where we stayed in a beautiful cottage right on a Loch a few miles away from Fort William. I have never been this far north of the country before, so took every opportunity to stop and appreciate this part of Britain and get some photos of the magnificent scenery. Wow they have big mountains…oh and so many beautiful Loch’s. When I was telling my grandma about it, I had to describe it as a British version of Lake Como, saying that if the sun is shining, you could sit and wouldn’t be aware that you weren’t actually in a completely different part of the world. I had already heard how beautiful it was, but you can never really appreciate it until you see it for yourself. I sure do appreciate it now, and am excited to start going more as a means of properly relaxing and getting away from everything.
At 10pm we set off for the 10 hour journey to Scotland. I had just picked up my A level results so was feeling pretty happy, relieved to finally have finished school and over the moon that I managed to get some decent grades.
The start of the journey was spent talking about the holiday, as well as other various thing. We stopped for a loo break them hastily got on the road again, trying to power through to avoid rush hour traffic in Glasgow. I watched Legally Blonde, saving the second one for the journey back the following week. I have no idea how many times I’ve watched that film now, but it gets better every time. Then we stopped for lunch, opting for a Burger King. I went for the chicken strip meal, which was massively disappointing. There is a reason it is called ‘Burger’ King. Anyway, we set out again and for the next part of the journey I indulged in another movie called ‘Love Rosie’. I absolutely adore this film, and sat in the back laughing and crying to myself. By this time we hit Glasgow, just managing to get through with little traffic. The next part of the drive was filled with beautiful Scottish countryside and amazing views. It was simply magnificent, and it was total bliss to just sit and be driven through the new place I had discovered and loved. We arrived at the cottage we were staying in at about 8pm, and finished the day with some amazing scrambled eggs and bacon. Yummy! Even though I hadn’t done any driving, I felt completely exhausted and in need of a good sleep, which is exactly what I had.
A leisurely start at 10am was just what I needed after a restful nights sleep, followed by a welcomed cup of tea, toast and some cereal. I wouldn’t say that we are early risers, especially as we only managed to get out the door just before 12!
On the start of the agenda for today was a 2 mile walk, making our way to a beautiful waterfall. The drive to the walk was really good, going through Fort William and driving past lots of mountains, including the highest in the UK. Ben Nevis. If I’m being completely honest, we struggled to actually identify which it was! Anyway, we got there in the end and began our walk after munching on some sandwiches. I am not a massive walker, but actually really enjoyed this one, taking in the beautiful scenery. Despite the rain we powered through and got to the waterfall. It was amazing, and we spent a while just admiring it and playing around with a wire bridge that goes over the water. After about 20 minutes we began our walk back, which was much easier as it was mainly down hill!
Back in the car, we made our way into Fort William to stock up on food and have a mooch in the shops. I found a beautiful Scottish shop full of slate goodies for the kitchen. My life at the moment is all about interior, getting everything ready for the flat! I managed to resist a few things, making my purse a little happier. Anyway, it was nice to just walk around and look at what they had. It is mainly chains, so nothing I couldn’t get at home. We then had a good shop in the Morrison’s, which is vast as it is the only shop for the majority that live around Fort William.
When we got home we had some dinner, Salmon with mashed potato and veggies. My absolute favourite dinner – healthy and filling. We relaxed in front of the TV, watching Chef. I LOVE THAT FILM! It makes me want to cook!
An earlier start to the day today… Well 9am! My day started in the most amazing way, purely because I had squashed avocados, scrambled eggs and toast. All my favourite things in one dish. Swiftly making some sandwiches for lunch and getting ready for the day, we left the house at 11. We drove for about 15 minutes, then got on the car ferry so that we could cross Loch Leven. We then drove for about two hours all through the countryside, stopping often to admire the view and take hundreds of photos. The weather was breathtaking, with clear sky’s and the sun blazing. In fact, I was actually way too hot in my jeans and walking boots (yes, I wore walking boots)! The drive was beautiful, and got even better when we stopped off for lunch. We stopped at a beautiful little cafe with highland cows right outside. I had a delicious Chilli Con Carne, followed by a vanilla milkshake. Not going to lie to you, I felt a little ill afterwards forgetting that I was already a bit nauseous from the drive around all lanes. I powered through, and got back in the car as we went for the last stretch of the drive. We landed up at a lighthouse, and just walked around having a look. The lighthouse itself wasn’t particularly impressive, but the views of all the mountains and other islands was. We got back in the car and headed home.
On the way home we took a detour, landing up at this beautiful little beach in a Scottish village. There was one Scottish family there, meaning in was undiscovered by tourists. I got my feet out and in the water, and was amazed by the clear water. If I hadn’t told you I was in Scotland, you would never have guessed. After messing around for about 45 minutes we made our way home. We didn’t get in until 8, so we gobbled up our sandwiches that had been replaced with Chilli at lunch time, and sat and watched ‘Julie and Julia’ – a beautiful film about a celebrity chef, Julia Child, and an American food blogger starring Meryl Streep.
An extremely late start to the day today, waking up at 11am! I was glad of the much needed sleep, but always feel a little disappointed in myself having wasted the entire morning. Nevertheless, we got up and got dressed, ready for another day of exploring all that Scotland has to offer. As we were up quite late, we had to decide on something to do that wouldn’t take too long. In the end, we decided that we wanted to see the famous Loch Ness. I have heard from many people that as impressive as Loch Ness is, it is by no means the most beautiful and doesn’t have a lot going on around it. It is also known to be extremely busy and full of tourists, something that I am not fond of. Anyway, we decided to ignore all of this and drive to have a look. You can’t really come to Scotland and not see such a famous part of it. We drove for about 2 hours, stopping to admire the views and eventually got there, driving along the side of the lake that wasn’t polluted by tourists. It was magnificent, vast in size and beautiful surrounded by the Scottish countryside. We stopped at a little beach just by the lake, and I really really wanted to touch the water, which I then did. My boyfriend decided to have a go, and landed up falling in *trying really hard not to laugh*. We were around the lake for a while before making our way back again. We stopped again to do a little walk that only took half an hour, finishing at an amazing waterfall. It was spectacular, the noise of the water and spray everywhere put you right in the moment.
In the evening we went out for dinner, to a lovely fish restaurant. The food was absolutely superb, honestly the best fish I have ever eaten. To start I had a Bean and Chorizo soup (straying from the fish theme), while everyone else indulged in mussels, scallops and oysters. I am really not a fan of sea food, but believe me, I really wish I was! Anyway, I had sea bass as a main, which was exquisite. It was pan fried sea bass, served with peppers, courgettes, baby potatoes and chorizo. I was in heaven eating it, and can definitely say that I am a ‘live to eat’ person!
A bit of an earlier start to the day today, as we were planning on a trip to the town of Oban, about a 90 minute drive away from our cottage. So after a quick breakfast we headed out. We stopped a few times on the way, admiring an old Scottish castle and the beautiful scenery. We got to Oban at about 12, when we had to do a quick Tesco shop purely to get change for the parking metre! After parking we walked to get some fish and chips, with the idea in mind of sitting overlooking the water with our food. The fish and chip shop we chose had a sign in the window stating ‘the best fish and chips I’ve ever had’ – a quote from Rick Stein in 2002. He was right, it was pretty amazing, and it wasn’t even ruined by the drizzle of rain that came whilst we ate, nor the seagull that very nearly mugged me!
After our scrumptious fish and chips, we went to Oban distillery for a tour of how they make their whiskey. The tour lasted for about an hour, and was extremely interesting – it’s a shame that I don’t actually like whiskey. I can see why people love and rave about it, but I simply cannot stomach it. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing the process of how it was made and would really recommend seeing one if you’re interested in that kind of thing.
The day has gone really quickly, but we still had time to stop in the most amazing chocolate shop. Sitting with a white hot chocolate, slice of homemade carrot cake and chocolate taster plate was bliss, and made even better when I got first wifi fix of the week. I have to see, I enjoyed the rest from social media for the week, but was starting to miss staying up to date.
We headed home after relaxing in the cafe, and I was massively looking forward to the prospect of roast chicken for dinner. We also got through two of the Bourne films, which I’ve been told I have to get through ready to see the new one coming out soon.
Our last day in Scotland, and we had already decided that today was going to be restful. Seeing as we knew we had a 10 hour journey the next day, we didn’t want to do much, so stayed local. We got up at about 11, and had a lovely relaxing breakfast. It was a bacon sandwich for me!
The one thing I really wanted to see on this trip was wildlife, in particular, red squirrels. I as yet to see any, so we decided to go on a walk where they we almost guaranteed. When we got there, there was a board for us to hide behind, looking through at the squirrel feeders. I stood there for what seemed like ages, but realistically was only about 10 minutes, and finally got to see the stunning red squirrels. They were so much smaller than I had expected, and looked incredibly soft and fluffy. It was so peaceful to just watch them, and try to take some amazing photos. The one we saw ran away after about 10 minutes, enabling us to then do another small walk, with a waterfall at the end. It was beautiful, and made even better by a pub lunch at the end. A smoked salmon sandwich and lager shandy was a treat, and omg, the salmon was the best I’ve ever had.
We relaxed in the pub for a bit longer, before making our way home. We stopped in a gallery where I bought a beautiful picture to go in the new flat, as well as a little arts and crafts shop. The rain was bucketing down at this point, so I was glad to get home, have dinner and chill in front of the tv.
I have not been paid to feature any brands, and all views and opinions are my own. All photos were taken by me, on the Nikon D3200, with both a 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens.

WKN AG, one of Europe’s leading and most experienced renewable energy developer, has announced an innovative and ground-breaking Community Benefit Scheme for the proposed Sallachy wind farm, near Lairg, which should exceed the Highland Council’s recommended levels for a Community Benefit Scheme over a 25 year period.
The proposed wind farm is situated on the Sallachy and Duchally Estates in Central Sutherland, and represents a potentially significant economic boost to the local area. The two estates jointly employ nearly 60 local people and are key to tourism and land management in the area. The income from the Sallachy Wind Farm will encourage the estates to diversify their activities, become more self sufficient and create numerous jobs.
For the past two years, WKN has been actively consulting with the local communities who live near the site to brief them on plans, gain feedback on the proposed 66MW wind farm, and take forward a positive community benefit package. In particular, WKN has been liaising with Lairg Community Council, Creich Community Council, and Ardgay & District Community Council to deliver the most appropriate Community Benefit offering to the area. The company announced the submission of their Sallachy Wind Farm project to the Scottish Government in December 2011.
Following this extensive dialogue, WKN is pleased to announce they have proposed the following benefit scheme, which is supported by the community local to the wind farm. The community benefit resulting from the scheme has been agreed as an escalating fixed payment programme. Under this programme, the community would see the amount of benefit per MW increasing over the 25 year period as the initial investment is paid off.
This innovative fund would be worth more than £8m over the 25 year lifetime of the wind farm. Payments into the community benefit fund could start at £3,500 per MW per annum, before rising to a ground breaking £7,500 per MW per annum – a figure that far exceeds the current Highland Council recommendations. The Community would like the Scottish Community Foundation to administer the fund with them.
Additional to this innovative Community Benefit package, WKN is also in discussions with the North Highland College about assisting with both a graduate placement scheme and a supply-side incubator promoting local businesses for the construction contracts about the project, and with the Highland Small Communities Housing Trust about helping the communities open up new housing opportunities in the area.
Oliver Patent, Head of International Project Development, WKN stated: “We are pleased to announce this ground breaking Community Benefit package in relation to the Sallachy wind farm proposals. We have spent a great deal of time liaising with the local community to find the most appropriate community benefit package, which addresses the issues most relevant to the area, and we are proud of the proposed Scheme.
Prof Stuart Gibb, Director of the Environmental Research Institute at North Highland College said: “The ERI and North Highland College are keen to work with industry partners to help deliver both better opportunities for graduates, and better connections between investors and developers and local businesses. It is encouraging that WKN AG seem keen to do the same and we look forward to working with them towards delivering these benefits in the near future”.
David Hannah, Chair of Ardgay & District Community Council said “We welcome the opportunities that working with WKN and their team at Sallachy will bring for the greater benefits of all three communities. As an already established panel we are working in close partnership with Lairg and Creich Community Councils, Energy Companies and the Scottish Communities to ensure that everyone gains the maximum advantages from these windfalls.

The 361 nitrate negatives are numbered N1-N362 with the following anomalies: numbers N71, N193; and N194 are lacking; there are 3 numbers N290 (A-C). For content description see boxes 19-24. All titles were devised by the catalogers.
Nitrate negatives are restricted; use copy prints in boxes 19-24.
Arranged in numerical order N1-N362.
Two photos numbered as 236. One now assigned #235.
See also #s272 – 273.
Two copies, both numbered 355.
The series contains 723 glass negatives. Numerous glass negatives depicting temple interiors with sculpture in situ were variously labeled either Anting or Longhua, and many depict identical items, although apparently taken in different years. Analysis of details in these images suggests that this group of images represents either the Longhua temple complex in Shanghai or an unidentified temple in or around the 1920s village of Anting.
Place names are given as written on original mylar sleeves in an unidentified early-20th century transliteration system (i.e. not Wade-Giles or Pinyin). Current Pinyin place names, when they differ, are supplied in brackets.
The glass negatives (G1-G732) are organized first by province, and then city.

A MISSING PAINTING. A THRILLING CHASE. A CONMAN AT HIS PEAK.
THE HEIST OF A LIFETIME.
Vagh Pratap Singh, aka the Captain, is conman extraordinaire. From transporting illegal merchandise and stealing cars to breaking safes, he’s done it all. But now, in his fortieth year, he’s ready to retire.
So when Udhham Kumar, a crooked politician from Uttar Pradesh, commissions the Captain to track down and steal Poppy Flowers, a Vincent van Gogh painting that has been smuggled into India after it went missing from a museum in Egypt in 2010, the Captain knows that he’s found his last and biggest case.
But a dangerous gangster is now in possession of the painting, and the Captain is being followed by Udhham Kumar’s ruthless associates, greedy for both money and power. As the odds against him begin to stack up, the Captain realizes that his last heist might not be as easy as he’d imagined.
Vish Dhamija’s latest, an ingeniously crafted page-turner about an audacious modern-day heist, is crime fiction at its finest.
Vish Dhamija is the bestselling author of seven crime fiction books. He is frequently referred to in the press as the ‘master of crime and courtroom drama’ in India. In August 2015, at the release of his first legal fiction, Deja Karma, Glimpse magazine called him, ‘India’s John Grisham’ for stimulating the genre of legal fiction in India, which was almost non-existent before his arrival on the scene. The Heist Artist is his eighth novel. Vish lives in London with his wife, Nidhi.
