Take any training program — from operations, quality, safety or even human resources — and there’s a good chance those lessons can be applied to sanitation.
Let’s explore the critical moment known as the golden millisecond training (GMT) for personal safety. This moment covers the risks associated when a lack of focus during everyday activities turns into a split-second decision and a potentially dangerous situation ensues that could affect personal safety — hands, arms, legs or life. The golden moment represents the opportunity to avoid injuries. Personal safety is applicable in everything we do, whether it’s at home, at work or on vacation.
GMT for personal safety involves developing habits that protect everyone. In the context of food production, we talk about practices that ensure safe food for family members, co-workers and friends. Likewise, in sanitation, routine tasks, if not handled correctly, could cause a food safety concern for consumers, ultimately creating a health issue. Sometimes, a split-second decision to take a shortcut causes a problem. We must routinely do what we know is correct in both personal and food safety.
Unexpected events occur each day that take us by surprise. Even a simple spill left on the floor can pose a risk that could be avoided by placing a caution sign and cleaning it up. With regard to food safety, ignoring a roof leak above a product zone or a drain backup without taking appropriate steps to clean it can present risks to consumers.
But how much risk is too much? In food safety, we talk about being perfect in what we do to avoid exposing our consumers to unhealthy products. In the context of perfection, if we produce 2 billion portions in a plant and are 99% perfect, we would potentially put 20 million consumers at risk. Even if we were 99.99% perfect, we would expose 200,000 people to food processed in less than optimal conditions.
We need to get it right every time.
Equally important are follow-up skills. What do we do if we have a suspicion that a system or process may be outside the operating expectations, or when we see data that shows some deviations from what is normal? Before we continue running the process, we must investigate until we are 100% sure no failure occurred that could cause a food safety risk. When we make that decision, it could be the GMT of food safety. When we have data or a suspicion that something does not look, smell or feel right, we should investigate until we find and correct the issue. There must be no alternatives to this process.
The link between personal safety and food safety can be a compelling approach to training. In the end, decisions we make, especially the split-second ones, often make a world of difference in personal and food safety.
When these decisions evolve and become the standard practice, we have the golden minutes, days and weeks of food safety. The golden weeks of food safety involve a waiting game, hoping for the best, but the inevitable could occur and result in termination of production with reported consumer illnesses or death, regulatory citations, recalls and turmoil for all involved. The lament at that point is “If only…” this would not have happened.
In a situation like this, golden is defined as the opportunity (with knowledge and the right culture) to identify and change the course of history at risk points, thereby preventing physical harm from an accident or illness or death from unsafe food. Please go for the gold today.

Record-setting hockey star Luciana Aymar is widely regarded as the greatest hockey player of all time, and is the only player to receive the FIH Player of the Year Award eight times.
Luciana is a national sporting hero in Argentina. Her ability to beat opponents, using her pace and dribbling skills, led to her being compared to charismatic Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona.
Known as ‘La Maga’ (The Magician), because of her flair and exciting play, she was the youngest player to make her debut for the Argentina senior team when she was just 16.
Over the years, with her as the inspiration, Argentina have won hockey World Cups in 2002 and 2010, six Champions Trophies between 2001 to 2014 and four Olympic medals – silver in 2000 and 2012 and bronze in 2004 and 2008.
As a tribute to her contribution over many years, she was the flag bearer for Argentina at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2008, she was named a Legend of Hockey by the International Hockey Federation. She played her last game for Argentina in December 2014.
Luciana started playing at seven for Club Atlético Fisherton in her native Rosario. She moved to Jockey Club de Rosario six years later. She also played for Quilmes Atlético Club and GEBA, where she won La Liga Nacional and the Torneo Metropolitano. Internationally she played for the Rot Weiss Köln in Germany and Real Club de Barcelona in Spain.

August 2016, Progress Report – Travel, Travel & Retire!
August 2016 was pretty solid! Here goes the summary (numbers are aggregated).
Income: The income side of the equation helped a lot ($14.9 – post tax and post other deductions, including 401k, etc.), as one of us received an extra paycheck and a significantly larger amount of over time than usual. We don’t expect any more of that through the rest of the year, rather the opposite as November and December usually bring in some unpaid time.
Assets: Our assets grew by $12.5k ($9.4 were adds, $3.1 market gains) and hit $346k, which is ahead of where we expected to be by now. That said, I am also bracing for some drop in the market, so hopefully that leaves enough buffer.
529s: Our 529 accounts grew by $5.1k, where $100 of that amount was gains vs $5k of additions. We are actually rethinking our goals in this regard and may now only put the $25k on each by end of this year and don’t add anymore and forget about our $100k for EACH goal by the time they reach college. Instead we will leave it at $25k each in 529s and try to accumulate around $100k extra (total) in next decade or so in post-tax accounts for college expenses for both kids to keep a little more flexibility.
Expenses: I think we did pretty well this month ($5.4k) considering we had to pay car taxes and inspection and extra activities for kids before starting school. We kept groceries under $500, and restaurants about our usual $240, not bad for us. This expense level should keep us on track for the under $80k goal by end of year (so far $52.2) even though September will come in high due to travel plans. Most importantly, this is helping us slowly adapt to spending levels that are more aligned with our lower, future goals without feeling like we are making any drastic life changes.
Debt: Slow and steady wins the race here. Our interest for our two outstanding loans are zero on our car and low 3s% on our mortgage so we are not currently trying to aggressively pay this down. It may change in the future.
Check out our consolidated progress here.

The Air Force may hold off on phasing out codeless and semi-codeless access to the GPS L2 signal in light of delays to GPS modernization, experts told attendees at the recent Civil GPS Service Interface Committee (CGSIC) meeting. The issue will likely be discussed as part of the formulation of the 2014 Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP).
“Semi-codeless retirement in 2020 is being evaluated,” said Col. Colonel Harold Martin, deputy director of the National Coordination Office for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT).
Some GPS receivers have been exploiting the encrypted military P(Y) signal at the L2 frequency to achieve the high accuracy of a dual-frequency receiver despite the content of the signal being unavailable.
Once the new L2C and L5 signals are fully operational, however, codeless or semi-codeless GPS users will be able to shift over and get both the new signals and their full observables and encoded navigation messages for even better results. Because codeless and semi-codeless users would then not need the P(Y) signal that point, the Air Force announced a deadline of December 31, 2020 for cutting off the capability.
The plan to phase out codeless and semi-codeless was announced May 2008 in the Federal Register so that users would have ample time to make the shift — a well-planned transition that is often cited as a model for making systemic updates. In September of that year the plan was confirmed by publication in the Federal Register.
But modernization has been proceeding slowly with satellites supporting the new signals being launched only when spacecraft currently on orbit need to be replaced — and Air Force operators have been able to keep those current satellites operation for years beyond their design lives.
Constellation replenishment will depend on a combination of satellite health and launch vehicle availability, said Martin.
“We have an estimate of when that would be but, of course, as every budget decision comes down, the launch schedule is adjusted as well — a few months here and there, sometimes a year or two,” Martin told attendees at the CGSIC attendees.
Given the already uncertain schedule and the effect of spiraling budget restrictions, the new signals possibly will not be fully operational before the phase-out deadline — leaving users in limbo. One of the major users users is the Federal Aviation Administration, which uses the P(Y) signal, located in the highly protected Aeronautical Radio Navigation Services radio band, to support its GPS Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS.
The issue is likely to be addressed as part of the next iteration of the 2014 Federal Radio Navigation Plan, said Karen Van Dyke, CGSIC chairperson and the director of the Positioning, Navigation and Timing Program Research and Innovative Technology Administration within the U.S. Department of Transportation. If previous FRPs are a guide, will 2014 FRP will most likely come out in early 2015.

Wagner grew up in the Saxon capital of Dresden, a city steeped in things oriental since the 18th century. By Wagner's time Shopenhauer had introduced the German elite to Buddhism, a European-wide event given the recent arrival of Buddhist sutras brought home by explorers. Panelists include Peter Bassett, writer and lecturer on the works of Richard Wagner and former Australian diplomat, and Paul Schofield, author of The Redeemer Reborn: Parsifal as the Fifth Opera of Wagner's Ring and former Zen Buddhist monk.
Patrick Hatcher, Ph.D., Kiriyama Distinguished Fellow at the Center, will moderate.
Simon Callow will publish a new Wagner biography 27 February 2017. Publishers details, only, available at this stage.
The life and legacy of one of music's most influential figures.
During a wildly unpredictable sixty-nine year life, Richard Wagner became the hero of his era and the official protagonist of a new unified Germany: his music was its music. The architect of the vast four-day, fifteen-hour epic, he unleashed through his thousands and thousands of words gods and dwarves, dragons and songbirds, maidens and female warriors on horseback. All dug deep into the subconscious of his audience, discharging among them oceanic and engulfing emotions. Wagner was the creator, indeed, of the very theatre in which the heaving, roaring audience sat. He was the self-proclaimed Musician of the Future.
This was exactly what he had set out to achieve, but there was nothing inevitable about it. The magnitude of his accomplishment grew out of - and existed in the face of - a profound instability, which characterises every stage and every phase of his life and which is at the very heart of his music. Withdrawing from instability back into the kingdom of art where he would always be an absolute monarch, where his will would always prevail, he explored the depths and the heights of human experience, by which he meant, of course, his own experience. In this bold vision of Wagner's life, bestselling author and acclaimed performer of 'Inside Wagner's Head', Simon Callow turns his famed storytelling energies towards this vast and complex revolutionary of music.
He leads his readers through the scenic festival that takes roughly thirteen hours when staged. They say money corrupts, or money is the root of all evil. Both claims are debatable. Poverty does not save people from corruption, and even moderate wealth does not necessarily build character. But maybe those who were corrupt from the beginning can sink even lower when in the thrall of riches? Oh yes, they sure can! The fuss over the legendary Rhinegold will prove that gold, and the power inherent in it, are the bearers of doom. The precious metal exerts an irresistible pull, a glamour that is also the curse that will be the downfall of humankind.
That is the crucial message the drama of the ring of the Nibelung offers. The theft of the Rhinegold unleashes everything that keeps the world in suspense (and makes it go round) until the present day: unfettered greed, boundless love, unfathomable hatred, consuming envy, the everlasting fight for personal freedom. Antipodes clash in battle: humans and gods, dwarves and giants, ethereal beings and thunderous forces of nature.

On 11 August 1881, Wagner reacted to a newspaper report of an anti-Jewish riot: "That is the only way it can be done - by throwing these fellows out and giving them a thrashing." This remark is widely cited as evidence that Wagner approved of anti-Jewish violence and even massacres, but what did the news story actually say? There is no denying the ugliness of Wagner's views about the Jews, but their very ugliness encourages over-confidence in his critics: hasty inference; anachronism, and worse. Derek Hughes has read widely in the anti-Jewish literature of Wagner's Germany and will attempt to restore historical balance to this undoubtedly troubling topic.
Derek is professsor emeritus of the University of Aberdeen. His book Culture and Sacrifice: Ritual Death in Literature and Opera contains a chapter on Wagner, and an article on the subject of this talk is forthcoming in The Wagner Journal.

"Richard Wagner's operas (sic) can sustain alchemical interpretations, just as they can be made to illustrate Rudolf Steiner's version of cosmic history, or practically any theory one wants to press upon them. But Wagner was no Hermeticist" Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times", Joscelyn Godwin.
English National Opera’s first new production of Tristan and Isolde since 1996 is directed by ‘theatre’s most exciting young director’ (Daily Telegraph) Daniel Kramer, with designs from Anish Kapoor, one of the most influential sculptors of his generation.
The thrilling score is conducted by former ENO Music Director Edward Gardner, ‘whose immaculate sense of balance and flow denotes a great Wagner conductor’ (The Stage).
The exceptional cast is led by the outstanding Wagnerian Heldentenor Stuart Skelton as Tristan, with American dramatic soprano Heidi Melton as Isolde.
How are Richard Wagner's operas shaped by his interest in philosophy? How can Immanuel Kant's vision of the human condition inform our understanding of Tristan und Isolde? Can the same interpretation be applied to Der Ring Des Nibelungen? How does that alter our understanding of the moral framework of the opera? And what are we to make of Wagner's last opera, Parsifal, which Nietzsche described as "a secret attempt to poison the very presuppositions of life"? Does Parsifal represent a rejection of the moral spheres of Tristan and the Ring, or can we arrive at a more subtle interpretation of it?
Philosophical Conversations - Sarah-Jane Leslie, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, conducts interviews with some of the world's leading philosophers through her association with the Marc Sanders Foundation. In this interview Professor Leslie meets with Professor Roger Scruton to discuss philosophical issues in Richard Wagner's operas.

In the past 15 years educational literature and policy have highlighted the importance of parent-school relationships in the attainment and life achievements of all children and young people, in particular those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SENID).
Recent changes in legislation relating to SENID promote 'person-centred' approaches to working with children, young people and their families, and recommend that they are fully involved in decisions made about support, aspirations and achievement (Dill, 2015).
This study adopted a Foucauldian approach to analyse semi-structured interview data from three Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) employed in maintained primary schools within a large London Borough, where the researcher was a Trainee Educational Psychologist (TEP).
The study sought to add to the growing body of literature exploring the barriers and facilitators to parent-school relationships. It explored constructions of the 'relationship' present in the accounts given by SENCOs with a view to deconstructing and analysing embedded assumptions or discourses that may perpetuate unbalanced power relations. It explored the positioning of parents and SENCOs within these discourses and subsequent implications for action and subjective experience.
The results imply that conflicting discourses within educational rhetoric make it difficult for SENCOs to adopt partnership relationships with parents and that wider changes may be necessary to create a more equitable climate. Implications for professional practice are considered and it is proposed that through their work with parents, schools and SENCOs, EPs are well placed to promote reflexive practices and person-centred, collaborative approaches to working with children, young people and their families.

Next post: To Be, Or Not To Be A Mortician?
The playlist was an excellent mix of traditional medieval melodies and carefully selected contemporary tracks that Nikki felt reflected Queen Isabella’s rebellious spirit. These ranged from Riot grrrl classics to the softer sounds of Florence and the Machine. For me, these modern choices brought me closer to Isabella in some strange way. The lyrics to songs which had resonated so deeply with me over my lifetime felt relevant to her. A woman whose colourful life was not without struggle, turbulent romance and hardship (we’ve all been there – maybe not to the extreme of red hot pokers and embalmed hearts) seemed alive. The feisty ‘She Wolf of France’ was still present before us in all her strength and glory. Yet here we all were in her bed chamber experiencing a personal moment.
To aid our journey back through time we learnt about Strewing Herbs, the practice of scattering herbs, rushes and straw through out the home to release aromas and natural oils when crushed under foot. This technique was used across Europe from the Medieval to early Renaissance period. The wonderful Odette Toilette, a perfume history expert and author of Perfume: A Century of Scent provided small herb bags that were handed out before Isabella entered the chamber. Odette used Balm, Chamomile, Cowslip, Hops, Marjoram, Fennel, Tansy, Sage, Woodruff, Lavender and Hyssop for the strewing herbs to accurately bring to life this historical practice. The scent was an incredible mix of calming, warm sweet tones that created a truly unique sensory experience. I felt immersed in a magical, dream like moment, one where I could almost feel the herbs crushing under my own feet as I walked from room to room.
I was first ‘introduced’ to ‘The She Wolf’ on a London ghost walk in 2014. Robert Stephenson led us around the walls St. Pauls and across the road to Christ Church Greyfriars where I learned several queens, including Isabella were buried. Now a public garden, this beautiful site is a tranquil rest spot in the heart of London. The story goes these royal ladies have become very territorial over their resting place and through an unwillingness to share, fight each other at night. Since this I have enjoyed reading of Isabella’s eventful life. I am still amused each time I pass by, imagining these feisty female ghosts sparring by moonlight. There is a road close by called ‘Queen Isabella’s Passage’ which no doubt she proudly reminds her opponents mid brawl.
“Of all England’s medieval Queens few have captured the imagination quite like Isabella of France. Through the ages distinguished playwrights, Hollywood directors and a plethora of historical novelists have attempted to portray this fascinating and enigmatic Queen but their attempts have done little to add to our understanding of a woman who continues to polarise opinion. Depending on which side you take Isabella can be seen as ‘She Wolf’, the femme fatale of the English monarchy, or simply as a misunderstood woman, passionate, intelligent and driven to desperate measures by her cruel despotic husband” (Murphy, 2003).
As someone who should label any attempt at artwork “Lucy Talbot, aged 5”. I was slightly anxious when Nikki invited me along to the first Drawn at the Tower. That said, there was no way I wanted to miss out on such a special event. The evening was split into two sessions. I spent the first half with King Edward I (modelled by Theo) and the second with Queen Isabella (Manko). Edward had attempted to break up Isabella’s engagement to King Edward II, a marriage arranged to improve political relations between England and France. It was only when he died that the marriage went ahead in 1307. Isabella’s relationship with Edward II was undeniably complex and adulterous, he died in 1327 whilst imprisoned at Berkeley Castle following an “accident.” The circumstances of which are widely disputed by historians. Legend has it that his murder was arranged by Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer.
Each session was led by an artist who brought both flair and technical ability. It was evident they had done their research bringing the personality and grandeur of their monarch to life. The whole experience was calm and atmospheric. Any inhibition at my lack of talent dissolved and became quite lost in my own drawing. When the session was complete all our work was laid out and I was amazed at the talent that surrounded me.
Each event will feature a different guest artist including Death and the Maiden’s fabulous friend and logo designer Lozzy Bones. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to explore The Tower of London after dark and spend some time with the ghosts of it’s past.
Unlock your drawing potential at this unique after hours drawing series at the Tower of London. This creative collaboration between Historic Royal Palaces and Art Macabre invites adults of all abilities to use drawing to explore stories from the Tower’s remarkable 1,000 year history. Sketch royals, rogues and ravens while you explore the stories and eerie atmosphere of the tower at night through these unforgettable immersive drawing experiences.

Enter the drama and tragedy of the Tudor court, and explore Henry VIII’s doomed love affair with Anne Boleyn. Sketch our costumed models, posing as their ghosts at the site of her burial in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. There will also be an opportunity to create minature love tokens with guest artist Lozzy Bones, in the Chapel’s crypt.

A possible color rendering of the original courthouse, c. 1912.
Alamance County first met at the site of Providence Meeting House, near what is today Providence Christian Church in Graham, NC, near the railroad tracks. The original building was torn down some years later, but the markers of the original building can be found in the cemetery next to the church.
At the first county court meeting on June 4, 1849, the commissioners (Chair Michael W. Holt, George Garrison, Jr., Absalom Harvey, William Harvey, and Abraham Tarpley discussed the construction of the county courthouse. On July 17, 1849, the contract was awarded with instructions to spend $8,000 to construct a courthouse.
Since the exact center of the county was too marshy to allow a courthouse to be built, a 75-acre site was selected and purchased short distance north of the center. The land was subdivided into lots, which were sold to local investors to help fund the building of the courthouse.
The original courthouse was constructed for $6,400, or around $163,000 in 2009 money. It was a small, cube-shaped 2-story building that met the needs of the small population of Alamance County at that time. It featured a roof made of either tin or zinc, although there are some indications that it may have been copper at some point during its lifetime. It also featured a cupola with a large 400-lb bell at the very top. That bell, believed lost for many years, was recovered in the 1990’s and is now the featured attraction at Sesquicentennial Park in the Courthouse Square in Graham.
The original courthouse opened in 1852 and served as the focal point for elements of local, state, and federal government and historic events. It also served as a town center in the new, growing county seat. All roads in Graham, whether they were dirt, plank, or macadam, led to the original courthouse.
In the 1880’s, having survived 30 years of progressively heavier use, a Civil War, occupation by troops, and a host of other local events, the courthouse was beginning to show its age and space limitations. $7,500, or around $177,000 in 2009 money was spent to add 2 wings to the east and west ends of the courthouse and to stucco the entire building. The increase in size made each story of the building about the size of a modern, small fast food restaurant.
The next major addition to the courthouse grounds was a memorial statue to Confederate soldiers added and dedicated on May 21, 1914. The name of the soldier at the top of the statue is “Conrad” (pronounced koon-rahd). This would be the last major addition to the courthouse grounds before space limitations forced the county commissioners to approve the demolition of the original courthouse and the construction of a new, larger facility.
The original courthouse was demolished in 1923.

What is Your Organization’s Security IQ?
Cloud is seen as very important for business innovation while at the same time there is increasing executive awareness and scrutiny over how the Cloud will be secured. You can start thinking about Cloud security by asking seven questions.
When making decisions on cloud computing solutions, security can easily be dwarfed by over-riding pressures of moving new services to market. So what are some of the top questions to consider when evaluating a cloud provider?
This post is written by Anne Lescher , Product Marketing Manager with IBM Security Solutions.

The gauze pad placed over the surgical area should be kept in place for 30 minutes. After this time, the gauze pad should be removed and discarded. If you would like to eat or drink, please remove the gauze, eat or drink and then place a new MOIST piece of gauze in the surgical area if you are still bleeding. Most bleeding stops within the first hour.
Salt water rinsing (1/4 tsp of salt to 8 oz. water) and tooth brushing can start when the bleeding has stopped. Repeat as often as you would like, but we suggest after meals and at bedtime are ideal.
If a suture has been used, it will usually dissolve on its own. Loss of a stitch any time after surgery is not significat unless it is accompianed by bleeding.
Eat what is comfortable, chewing on the opposite side of the mouth if possible. Please avoid spicy and acidic foods, as they may irrate the extraction site. If you had lowar molars removed please avoid foods that contain nuts, poppy or sunflower seeds as well as popcorn kernels as these items can easily get lodged in the sockets.
The swelling that is normally expected is usually proportional to the surgery involved. Swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face is not uncommon. This is the body’s normal reaction to surgery and eventual repair. The swelling will not become apparent until the day following surgery and will not reach its maximum until 2-3 days post-operatively. If swelling or jaw stiffness has persisted for several days, there is no cause for alarm. This is a normal reaction to surgery.
If numbness of the lip, chin, or tongue occurs there is no cause for alarm. As stated before surgery, this is usually temporary in nature. You should be aware that if your lip or tongue is numb, you could bite it and not feel the sensation. So be careful. Call Dr. Fredd, Dr. Spampata, Dr. Deasy, Dr. Hersh, Dr. Wallis or Dr. Sommer if you have any questions.
Occasionally, patients may feel hard projections in the mouth with their tongue. They are not roots, they are the bony walls which supported the tooth. These projections usually smooth out spontaneously. If not, they can be removed by Drs. Fredd, Spampata, Deasy, Hersh, Wallis or Sommer.
Your case is individual, no two mouths are alike. Do not accept well intended advice from friends. Discuss your problem with the persons best able to effectively help you: Drs. Fredd, Spampata, Deasy, Hersh, Wallis and Sommer or your family dentist.

On Thursday 11 April, in the Times Higher Education (THE) and its webpages, the first of three adverts will appear to promote our collective strength in Digital research.
The campaign will promote some key recent achievements as well as supporting a recruitment campaign for a number of senior academic roles in relevant Departments, which will be advertised in the same THE edition. Each of the adverts poses an intriguing question that invites the reader to go online to find out more about our digital story.
The first advert, ‘phone’ that launches on Thursday 11 April, features the work of Victoria Mapplebeck, a Reader in the Department of Media Arts. Victoria’s film ‘160 characters’ tells the story of an unplanned pregnancy and the text message communication between Victoria and the father of her son. A second film by Victoria, produced by Amanda Murphy also from the Department of Media Arts, called ‘Missed Call’ is about her young son’s journey to reconnect with his absent father. ‘Missed Call’ has been nominated for the BAFTA Short Form Programme Award, with results announced on 12 May 2019.
The advert ‘disc’, launching on Thursday 25 April, celebrates the world leading research carried out by Professor Kenny Patterson and colleagues in our Information Security Group. One of the roles being recruited to is the Chair in ISG vacated by Kenny who has taken up a role at ETH Zurich. Kenny has supported his research being included in the campaign, which highlights the important breakthrough that led to the creation of more secure software to help protect billions of web users from cyber attacks.
‘Frame’ goes live on Thursday 2 May and hints at future StoryFutures projects. StoryFutures, led by Professor James Bennett, Department of Media Arts, brings together universities and world leading creative and technology companies with SMEs in the South East to tackle the challenge of next-generation storytelling. StoryFutures has received £6.7 million of investment from the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Creative Industries Clusters Programme.
More information about the academic work featured in each advert can be found on this webpage, together with details of the roles being recruited to.

Is asking for a humble plate really too much?
We've all seen them. Chips in baskets, steak on slabs and cured meats on chopping boards - and those are some of the more tame examples.
If you've ever been on the Internet - or out for dinner in a 21st century British city - you'll no doubt be aware serving food on traditional dinner plates seems to be a bit uncool. The edgier and more 'hip' the cuisine, the higher the chance of it being served in an obscure and downright ridiculous vessel.
While foodies and fine diners might be a little more accustomed to their meals being presented in outlandish contraptions, for the average eater it just feels a little bit contrived. The trend is impractical at best, and downright ridiculous at worst. What happened to plates?
If you find yourself lamenting the decline of the humble plate, don't worry. You're not alone. A Twitter account called @WeWantPlates is making light work of ribbing every and any meal served in an, ahem, alternative way, and it's already amassed a whopping 134,000 followers.
It's run by Ross McGinnes, who told the Liverpool Echo he was inspired to set up the page after seeing a friend post a picture of an 'average-sized steak and manky salad' served on a chopping board to Facebook. For him, the photo in question was a step too far, and a community of crockery-loving aficianados was born in the form of @WeWantPlates.
These are some of the best @WeWantPlates submissions from right here in Bristol. While the meals in question may be delicious, the methods restaurants have used to serve them leave a lot to be dseired... if you love your food served on plates, that is.
It might be served in a trophy, but this creation is winning no prizes among fans of We Want Plates.
2. Breakfast is served. But not in the way you might want it.
Unless you're a student drowning in washing up, there's no excuse to eat out of a frying pan. NONE.
Why was this in a casserole dish?
So many questions need answering here. Why are those plates on the wall? What happens when you pour the sauce over that steak? We despair.
This thing of wonder is from The Stable in Bristol. They're pizza connoisseurs, so why didn't they realise this meal on a pizza board isn't pizza?
8. Nothing is safe. NOTHING.
Even drinks haven't escaped. Why can't we just have glasses?
There's no chopping happening here. Put the boards away and give us a plate.

The Mack is strong and reliable with a 400 pound weight capacity and a standard height for average to tall users. Available in blue and red.
Handle Height Adjustment: 30.25" - 36.25"
My new Nova Mack walker was very easy to put together. All I had to do was put the handles on and adjust them to my desired height and then pop the backrest on. I love it! Parentgiving's customer service was awesome! I called them about assembling this product before making my purchase and the customer service rep reviewed how to assemble it and even emailed me the instructions. I ordered the walker one morning and it was here the next (I live in a state that has a Parentgiving distribution center in it)! This company was awesome and I would definitely order more products from them!
This was exactly what my husband needed/wanted. And it was delivered quickly!
Handle Height: 34" - 36",37" - 39"

Kim Kardashian West is having flashbacks from her terrifying Paris robbery that occurred almost six months ago.
During Paris Fashion Week last fall, Kim was alone in her No Address Hotel around 3 a.m. room when five masked men held her at gunpoint and bound, gagged and robbed the reality star of millions of dollars worth of jewels.
In an E! clip of Sunday’s upcoming episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the mother of two recalls being home one night and in bed with her 3-year-old daughter, North, when she heard someone’s footsteps ascend up the stairs of her home, which took her back to the Oct. 3 heist.
“I did not sleep last night. I totally freaked out,” she tells sister Kourtney and mother Kris Jenner in the clip.
“Kanye came home — he had a concert. He always comes up the back stairs, like I always know he comes out the stairs that go into my room,” she explains.
But on that specific night, Kanye instead chose to walk up the front stairs of their home, which sent her into a panic.
Eventually, Kanye walked into the couple’s bedroom and she told him that they’ve “got to come up with a plan” for when he comes home late at night.
“Kim has come a long way from the robbery but that said, it’s a daily struggle to move past it and she probably never will be past it entirely,” a second source said.

I am a HUGE fan of exfoliating. If you're not....then you need to be! Who wants those icky dead skin cells hanging around?! Not me! Buff away wrinkles, blemishes, and discoloration with these awesome products. I honestly love both of them so much. They both smell great and are about the same consistency. They are finely milled, and wont scratch or damage your skin.
The ExfoliKate is a bit pricey ($85) so I like to use it sparingly - maybe once a week or every other week. It contains fruit enzymes to clarify your skin and I swear you can feel them working! It tingles a little - which I love! Anything that tingles makes me feel like it's working better ;) You leave this on for about 30 seconds after applying - thats when it really does its magic! This is by far my ABSOLUTE favorite exfoliator ever in the history of exfoliators. I truly do feel like my skin glows after using this.
I use the Arcona Cranberry Gommage a couple times a week. It's about half the price of ExfoliKate at $42, so I use this a bit more often. It feels amazing and I really love the cranberry smell. More importantly...my skin feels great and products and makeup go on smoothly after!

What Will Drive You in 2014?
Gorgeous photo by my good friend Dennis of Zihuatanejo Bay, Mexico.
Happy New Year! I hope you had a productive, powerfuI, and positive fresh start this past week. For 2014, I wish you a year of having your wants, wishes, and everything your heart desires come to life. For the past 4-5 years, I have jumpstarted the new year to the beautiful sunrise of Zihuatanejo Bay at La Casa Que Canta in Mexico with some friends very dear to me. But this year, I chose a very calm, quiet, introspective, peaceful, and loving path. I spent New Years in freezing winter Manhattan with my sister, her caring husband, and their 6-month old baby girl. We did drink a lot of champagne (my headache lasted until January 2nd. 🙂 The best part is that the first adorable thing I kissed in 2014 was my precious 6-month old niece! And she loved being smothered with kisses, smiles, and attention.
Every year, I come up with a short list of goals and resolutions which mostly revolves around being of service to others and inspiring them to live life to the fullest. However, my focus this year will be very different, much more internal rather than external. Other than keeping my clients happy with great service and producing dramatic results for them, life will be simple for me. Most of the time, I am the take charge type of person, the giver, the pleaser, or the problem solver for others – I feel that my love cup is a bit empty from all the giving and servicing as of this moment. So 2014 is the “me year”! I need to take some time to replenish and recharge my battery and fill my own love cup. In order to do so, I have come up with four drivers below that will be in my morning meditations and behind everything I do both professionally and personally. What are yours?
2. Trust my Intuition. There are countless times where my intuition tells me and warns me upfront not to go there in a situation, yet I refused to trust it and instead went along with what others were telling me. Looking back on certain situations, if I had listened to my gut instincts, I would not have wasted so much time and energy and saved a lot of heartache. So no more of that this year!
3. Continue to follow my dreams. My whole life, I have been told by friends and family and others that I am an idealist, a perfectionist, a crazy creative, an artist, a hopeless romantic, a dreamer, and much more. Some even advised me to come down from cloud nine and be more realistic. But you know, I have learned over the years that many of my dreams have come true because I really went after them and stay true to my vision. Yours can come true, too, if you believe in yourself and have the motivation to take action in making it happen. This area, I feel confident about and so I will continue to focus on my dream of having it all: Love, Happiness, Health, Prosperity, Spirituality, Friendships, Beauty, Luxury, Knowledge, Growth, EVERYTHING!!!!!!! And I welcome you to join me in this journey.
4. Put LOVE in everything I do. Lastly, at the end of the day, the only driver that is behind all my intentions and actions, what I live for and stand for is LOVE. This is the core of my being and what I am made of. I will continue to do what I love and be great at it and only surround myself with those whom I love. For I believe that love makes the world go round and if we inspire love in everyone, we would not have war, but instead peace and harmony. For 2014, I want you to love your life, love your work, love your family, love who you are with, love all living things…love everything that you have and love everything that you are! I will stamp the word LOVE in everything I do for I AM LOVE, you are love, we are LOVE! Feel the love!
Well, I hope you like my list – #4 is my favorite. Most importantly this year, I am focusing on filling my own love cup and falling in love with myself again. For I cannot fulfill my mission of sharing love with the world if my love cup in empty. What will be your motivators in 2014? Share please!
As always, I appreciate you embarking on this life journey with me.
I’d like to be your only driver!

What Are Rules For Forums?
Discussion in 'General Affiliate Marketing Forum' started by Swadesh, Jan 7, 2018.
No posting links/pictures of inappropriate things.
There are multitudes of rules for online communities. We have a few different rules for members, additional rules for vendors, and few specialized rules for some of our sub forums.
Equally important are the unspoken rules for members in communities that should be adopted be everyone. Things like be active, the more active one is the more feedback they get. Ask loads of questions for everything you need help with to move your business forward with growth. Always spend time helping others with their needs. Always know that by helping others you are helping yourselves.
Long and short of it all, the written rules are typically preventative measures to ensure the safety and quality of the community is maintained for its members. The unwritten rules are the rules that ensure that everyone benefits form the sharing of information and the successes the members deserve.

Yep. That’s right, those are two very delicious pancakes! We are huge fans of the treat, so it’s no surprise this recipe was a hit this past weekend for breakfast. In my opinion, it might be too intense for breakfast…I’m more of a toast, eggs, & coffee sort of girl…but that didn’t stop me from indulging in this creation, which with its unknown origins has become one of the ultimate Pinterest staples. Clever & delicious, your kids will definitely love it: the perfect combination of ever-so-perfect pancakes & delicious cinnamon rolls!
After some time of preparing cinnamon-infused foods here in Europe, I couldn’t help but notice that the hard, pungent cinnamon I found in supermarkets here was definitely different from the softer, subtler cinnamon I was used to at home. Of course it would be different! Little did I know about cinnamon and its so many variations! Such a wonderfully complex spice, used in both sweet & savoury food and also in oh-so-many different purposes, it’s actually obtained from the bark of several tree species.
Known from antiquity, cinnamon was huge in places like Egypt & China. It was so highly prized among ancient nations that it was regarded as a gift fit for monarchs and even for gods! Today, global production is around 220,000 tons, led by Indonesia. More simply put, there are four main types of cinnamon: Ceylon, Cassia, Saigon, & Korintje, all identifiable by color, taste, aroma, and appearance. To further study the complexity of the spice: the Sri Lankan grading system divides the cinnamon quills into four groups, according to their diameter: Alba (less than 6mm), Continental (less than 16mm), Mexican (less than 19mm), and Hamburg (less than 32mm)…that explains so much! I have a hard time snapping a quill here in Europe, sometimes having to smash it to get only a small dose! And even though the basic four varieties mentioned above are those used most for commercial purposes, there are so many more species: cassia or Chinese (which is the most common commercial type – and the one I am most used to), Korinje or Indonesian, Saigon or Vietnamese, Sri Lanka or Ceylon, Malabar, & Indian…and hundreds of types in general!
Most of Europe uses Ceylon Cinnamon, primarily because this was the first spice European explorers brought back from their conquests of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It didn’t help much that the German government actually banned Cassia Cinnamon at one point due to studies of liver damage & failure! So, if you want to think healthy, let’s stick with the Ceylon Cinnamon for matters of the body. And now that we’ve learned a bit about those beloved cinnamon sticks, time to put them to use: desserts, pies, hot cocoa, spicy candles, tea, liqueurs, pickling, soups, and lots of candy!
To prepare the cinnamon filling, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop the filling into a ziplock bag and set it aside.
For the glaze, heat the butter in a small pan over low heat until melted. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cream cheese until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, stir and add the vanilla extract. Set the pan aside while you make the pancakes.
Prepare the pancake batter in a medium bowl. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, & salt. Whisk in the milk, egg, & oil, just until the batter is moistened (secret to good pancakes!)…a few small lumps are fine.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, add the batter to the pan, for a circle of about 4 inches in diameter. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Snip the corner of the ziplock bag with the cinnamon filling and squeeze the filling into the open corner. When the pancake begins to form bubbles, add the filling, starting at the center of the pancake and squeezing in a swirl. Cook the pancake up to 3 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom and with a thin, wide metal spatula quickly & gently flip it over. Cook an additional 3 minutes, until the other side is golden.
When you flip the pancake onto the plate, you’ll see the magic swirl the cinnamon filling has created. Wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining pancake batter…it’s a messy situation you might get yourself into, but be patient! Practice makes perfect! This recipe makes only 6 pancakes, and I would recommend 2 per head! Serve the pancakes topped with a drizzle of glaze & a side of fruit! Yum!

Today sees the launch of Serato Studio, a simplified DAW that’s designed for beginners and DJs who want to move into music production.
We’ve spent a little time with the New Zealand developers’ new software, so here are our first impressions.
Serato Studio’s clean, attractive interface bears more than a passing resemblance to the New Zealand developer’s famous DJ software. The GUI is divided up into distinct sections, and just like with Serato DJ, hiding and resizing panes is easy and useful.
Up in the top Transport bar is where you set the tempo, key and major or minor scale for the current project, while the metronome and quantise controls also live here.
The bottom Library area is where you browse through Projects, Drums, Audio Samples, FX, Instruments and third-party Plugins, before dragging them in to populate a ‘Deck’. Decks are vertically stacked in the rightmost Sequencer area, and notes are laid down here - step sequencing for drums, and a piano roll-style note editor for Instruments and Samples.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though audio loops can be played from the Library area before you load them in. It’d be nice if audio could be auditioned in time with the project as it plays back - or auditioned at all, in fact.
Drums, Instruments and Samples can be triggered by your QWERTY keyboard, with a connected MIDI keyboard, or using a compatible Serato DJ controller. Music theory noobs will appreciate the fact that Instrument and Sample playback can be locked to the project’s key and scale - useful indeed - and this can be turned off for chromatic playback if desired.
The Serato DJ comparisons continue when it comes to workflow, too. The currently selected Drums, Sample or Instrument Deck populates the top-left area for editing. For the former two, you can adjust the current sample’s amplitude attack and release, reverse it, and change the sample’s tempo and key. As you’d expect, these last two options are powered by Serato’s renowned Pitch and Time algorithm, which sounds predictably impressive when creatively tuning and stretching samples.
A Drum Kit comprises eight parts, painted in on a familiar grid sequencer. The bundled kits sound punchy and are suitable for use across multiple electronic styles, and over 300 preset patterns are provided, too.
The Sample Deck is essentially a condensed version of Serato’s Sample VST/AU plugin. Up to eight (or more) Cue Points are automatically assigned across a sample, and you can trigger, manipulate and process each cue point separately - ideal for sample junkies and hip-hop heads.
The categorised Instruments bundled with Serato Studio range from strings and pianos to pads, synths, basses and more. These sample-based sound generators are fairly simple, but get the job done quickly. Thankfully, you can call up your choice of third-party VST/AU instruments and effects, which exponentially expands the software’s potential.
Serato DJ users will also be familiar with the central vertical mixer strips, where you’ll find an input gain knob, a three-band DJ-style EQ, bipolar low- and high-pass filter and level fader. Although these are all handy for quick levelling and tone-shaping, it’s strange that there’s no pan control here - hopefully that’ll be addressed with a future update.
Click the top FX button and you’ll pop open the Effects section. Thankfully, you can load up a Stereo Pan effect here for basic stereo positioning, as well as over 30 more one-knob effects processors in the horizontally-stacked slots. These sound decent overall, although it’s a bit odd that most of the reverb and delay effects don’t add much stereo width - they’re all rather mono in nature.
Once you’ve created a single Scene (ie, a song section) in the Sequencer, the process of copying, pasting and editing more Scenes is easy: expand the horizontal Song View along the bottom, then drag and reorder these individual Scenes into a left-to-right arrangement (Intro, Verse Chorus, etc). This is basic stuff that’s well designed for beginners, but DAW pros used to stacking multiple tracks vertically will obviously feel a bit restricted.
Serato Studio comes bundled with a Core Pack of free content comprising drum kits, audio samples and instruments created by pro sound designers, including the well-respected Goldbaby amongst others. The quality and authenticity of this content, it has to be said, is excellent.
And although the Core Pack feels a little light on the Instrument front, subscribers are able to download and install three additional packs - Trap World, Dusty Crates and Essential Electronic - and lots more content is promised with future updates.
Overall, it’s tough to say whether Serato Studio can truly rival other well-established beginner DAWs unless you’re firmly locked in to the Serato ecosystem already.
Once you’ve got the hang of Serato Studio’s unique but simplistic approach to beatmaking, laying down multiple parts one after another is a breeze, no matter how you choose to enter notes. The software has obviously been designed with first-timers in mind, which is refreshing in an age of overcomplicated, feature-stuffed DAWs. We found ourselves whizzing around the interface and piecing together new song ideas in no time.
Also on the plus side: the great-sounding warping/transposing algorithm makes Serato Studio an awesome remixing sketchpad for chopping and replaying long samples; the slick workflow nicely bridges the gap between DJ software and production tool; and the bundled content impressed us far more than the sounds that ship with so many other products - we can’t wait to hear more.
Yet, although limitations are to be expected in a first-generation music creation environment aimed mainly at novices, many of these still frustrated us. More global scales scales besides minor and major would be welcome; the lack of pan in the mixer is an obvious oversight; and most of those one-knob effects are a little too simplistic, in our opinion.
Then there’s the pricing strategy. Whether newcomers to music-making will be willing to fork out on a monthly basis remains to be seen, especially when you consider that Apple users get GarageBand for free, and PC users can install and use BandLab’s Cakewalk - an undeniably powerful DAW - for absolutely nothing.
However, as a music-making environment aimed at DJs and beginners, there’s something rather charming and refreshing about Serato Studio’s simplicity, speed and ease of use. This is especially true if you’re already a user of Serato software and hardware - and are willing to cough up monthly for the privilege, of course.

Breast cancer patients who apply moisturizers may be dosing themselves with estrogen without even knowing it investigators reported at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Dr. Adrienne Olson, a researcher with Breastlink in Rancho Palos Verdes, California and her colleagues analyzed 16 widely available moisturizers for estrogens. None of the creams analyzed listed estrogen as a content in their list of ingredients, however six samples contained estriol or estrone; two out of the three powerful estrogens produced by women’s ovaries.
Dr. Olson became interested in the estrogen-moisturizer association while she was being treated for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The chemotherapy caused her skin to become dry and wrinkled. So she began using a moisturizer to help restore her skin's natural appearance. In fact, the moisturizer worked so well that she suspected the product might contain estrogen, which helps maintain skin integrity and promote a "youthful appearance."
Following up on her suspicions, Dr. Olson collected containers of 16 nonprescription skin moisturizers, spanning a wide cost range. She sent the samples to a research laboratory, which tested the products for the presence of a woman’s most powerful estrogens; estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography (NPLC) revealed estrone at a concentration of 0.05% in one of the products and estriol in five others at concentrations ranging from 0.17% to 0.61%. Some of the other products might contain lower levels of the hormones that were not detected by HPLC, she added. Moreover, the product analysis did not include testing for customized or designer estrogens.
Dr Olson is a seven-year breast cancer survivor. She explained that unlike many other substances, estrogens applied to the skin are better absorbed than estrogen pills. Dr Olson urges women with breast cancer that grows under the influence of the hormone estrogen (or estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer) to avoid applying estrogen externally to minimize the risk of a recurrence. In fact women without breast cancer are also at risk, she added. If they use estrogen-containing topical moisturizers, they may be dosing themselves daily with estrogens for extended periods, and this boosts the risk of developing breast cancer. The report was presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Abstract 4087.
