Project 7 – Series Impressions
By jenhgNovember 11, 2021November 12th, 2021One Comment
If I didn't know better, I would think another director was in charge of this production. I double-checked MyDramaList to be sure that New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul directed these episodes. He did. Then I sat down to write my review. The first thought that popped into my head was, "mediocre." Not to say there weren't good moments, but the project as a whole didn't fit together smoothly. Some actors and actresses had improved since I last saw them, and others were so off I did a double-take. Since each episode is a separate story loosely woven together, I will talk about each account individually. Each episode has a song that accompanies it. It reminded me of Truth or Dare sung by Ton Thanasit that had a short story video that continued the story in the music video. This series impression will contain spoilers, so stop reading if you mind spoilers or haven't watched the series.

Story 1: Would You Be My Love?
(Earth) Katsamonnat – Ozone
(Santa) Pongsapak – Sun
Earth is a veteran actor, and this is Santa's first acting role. The episode begins with the introduction of two new students added to an all-boys boarding school. Immediately the school bullies start to ask if they are boyfriends before they have even had a chance to sit down in their seats. The teacher ignores the bullies and begins the class. I don't know if this is a past story or not, as I'm not sure of the time here. But I live in a culture where kids get in trouble for harassing others, especially like that.
The school bullies write all kinds of homophobic slurs on Ozone's desk, and Sun is kind enough to scrub them off. Thus begins their relationship dynamics of Sun rescuing Ozone from those who would hurt him. So it continues, and the two boys form a friendship that blossoms into feelings.
The bullies in the bath scene caught my attention in a way. I can't imagine going into a large area with everyone in their underpants and using bowls to scoop out water to wet themselves and rinse themselves. In the USA, we have showers that are sometimes slightly partitioned where everyone gets naked and bathes. Also, they sleep in an arrangement similar to a boot camp or orphanage, with rows and rows of bunk beds in a single room. Boarding schools here, you either have the space to yourself or share with a single person. There doesn't appear to be any privacy in these boys' lives, making the worst sorts of behavior commonplace. When unsupervised, the strongest will lead, and that is not necessarily the kindest.
The kiss was cute. The chemistry was great. The ending was predictable. So here is my issue with this story. Coming from Earth's performance in Until We Meet Again, I wanted more substance. His character in this story is flat, frail, and a bit of a sensitive crybaby. I know Earth has excellent talent, so it seems a waste not to use him to stretch his acting range. Please don't come at me for this opinion, but he portrayed the stereotypical effeminate gay boy. He could be more, and I think the story didn't let him. So I hope the next role given to Earth is not a schoolboy but an adult with real-life challenges. At the very least, make him a college student.
Santa did well for his first role. He and Earth have established a good rapport before filming, and it shows. Some people gave Earth a hard time because Santa was 17 at the time of filming, but as there is only one kiss, I don't see the issue. The age gap between Earth and Santa is only seven years. There are other bl that have a more adult storyline with a more significant age gap. I haven't seen anything that I believe is over the line. I am not going to debate the age gap in this article, just mentioning it had been a concern for some fans online.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Story 2 – Rhythm of My Heart
Sood Yacht – Rhythm
Maya Chanitcha – Pimdao
Aomsin Waratchaya – WaWa
Tae Weerapat – Note
I enjoyed this episode. It had some unique characteristics that I was happy to see. Rhythm owns a record store. Tae is his friend and employee. He has a love for a band whose records he proudly displays on the walls. One day a cute girl, Pimdao, an actress, wanders into the store after leaving her friend. Side note: As the friend, WaWa, leaves Pimdao, she reaches out and kisses Pimdao's hand. Pimdao looks confused. After she enters the store, she meets Rhythm. She's waiting on her father.
Herein lies the unique pieces to this story. This tale is considered heterosexual because a boy and girl end up together. However, given Pimdao's attraction at the beginning for WaWa, it appears that she is bisexual. She is attracted to WaWa but unsure if her feelings are romantic. Then WaWa pushed a kiss on her, making her feel uncomfortable because she had already developed feelings for Rhythm. WaWa atones, and in the end, seems to be in a flirty relationship with Note. So is it a heterosexual story if bisexuality is discussed or referenced? It's a bit of a gray area for me.
Also of note is Rhythm's condition, for which he wears a heart rate monitor watch. Later, we find out that he has a social anxiety disorder and uses his watch to monitor his symptoms to adjust his behavior accordingly. Others don't pity this disorder. Acceptance from the characters is refreshing to see.
The connection to the first and third stories is the friend group at Pimdao's college. Pimdao, Ozone, and Proud are good friends. They are there to listen as she talks about her feelings. Overall a cute story.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Story 3 – Remember
Samantha Coates – Proud
Pineare Panin – Jaidee
Ryu Packphum – Tac
We begin this episode with Proud (Sammy) looking at her boyfriend's picture. The scene shifts as we go back one year. She is sitting in the bed with her boyfriend, Tac. They are comfortable lovers in a long relationship. They are sitting in bed watching a show on his phone. He receives a text on his phone, which she checks. It is hearts followed by a picture of the morning after sex with the boyfriend on the bed and a female shoulder with a tattoo on it who is taking the video. It's not Proud. They fight. He tries to come up with excuses, but with her heartbroken, she kicks him out. We move forward in time. Proud dropped out of school to heal her broken heart for the semester but went back to school, still sad about her ex-boyfriend.
She meets Jaidee, who sits beside her in class. The two click as friends. Tac runs into Jaidee and Proud, and you can see the tension between the three. Without exchanging words, the girls brush past Tac. Jaidee warns Proud away from Tac, saying she's heard he's a bit of a playboy. Neither girl tells the other of their connections with Tac.
He is a bit of a creep. Tak keeps cornering Proud, actually trying to grab her to make her listen because he wants her back. Jaidee doesn't know their history either, but she is there to help Proud when the ex-boyfriend shoves Proud. Jaidee makes Proud laugh again. The two girls grow closer. Jaidee and Proud fall in love without really talking through their feelings for each other. Their closeness culminates in a scene where the two girls decide to give in to their desire. Unfortunately for Jaidee (Spoiler), Proud discovers the truth of Jaidee's role in her past by the tattoo on her shoulder.
This next section of broken-hearted angst makes me annoyed. Instead of talking about the issues, Proud once again throws a fit with Jaidee and Tak. She is finished with both of them. And the/ story ends broken-hearted for all of them. Can't our poor bisexual girls get a happy ending Pineare and Sammy do an excellent job at making us feel their chemistry but once again, girls' love doesn't resolve in their happiness together. I am tired of lesbians and bisexual women getting a bad ending. Also, it's listed as a girls' love episode, but they are both bisexual characters. Does that negate calling it a girls love? Or can it be classified because the central pairing is a woman in a romantic relationship with another woman? What is your take on it?
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
Story 4 – Once Upon A Time
Boun Noppanut – Mek
Prem Warut – Balloon
Nink Verithorn – Jinny
Fairy Kirana – Tonkhao (Rainbow – little sister to Balloon, still in high school)
Earth Kattsommonat- Reprising Ozone (younger brother of Balloon)
I've always been a fan of Boun and Prem. They have great onscreen chemistry. So it's nice to see their acting has improved since the earlier days of Until We Meet Again.
This story begins with an older Mek looking at a picture of his younger self and Balloon. It's evening, and he's in a reflective mood, so he tells the audience how their relationship developed. At this point in the episode, you aren't sure if it is a happy or sad ending.
We see Mek steal a kiss from Balloon in front of Balloon's house. Balloon walks in to hear his father chewing out his brother Ozone for being gay, claiming he's a disappointment. After Ozone heads upstairs, their father tells Balloon not to be like his brother, marry a girl, and be normal. I hate the dad already. Asshole. And Balloon goes upstairs to comfort his brother. He shows his good nature by telling Ozone there is nothing wrong with following your heart. He receives a call from Mek, so he steps out to take it. We understand he is stuck in a challenging position.
He is in a relationship with another man. His brother has come out to their father while he is still closeted. He chooses to show the dad he's straight so that his brother can be out and open. The younger sister is cute but a bit oblivious. You can see the story tension as Mek is ready to share their love. He's tired of hiding it. And in comes Jinny, who is in their friend group. She has a crush on Mek, but he doesn't realize it. The push-pull story of their love story unfolds where no one is a villain. Everyone is sympathetic and likable. Given Boun and Prem's performance here, I'm excitedly waiting for Hemp Rope.
Story 5 – BreakUp Zone
Plan Rathavit – Ryu
Nink Verithorn – Reprising Jinny
Maya Chinitcha – Pimdao
The player or Casanova, Ryu, among friends, decides to pursue the pretty famous actress he sees in their college, Pimdao. He is known for loving all women and never taking relationships seriously. His best friend since childhood is Jinny. She is like a sister to him. And he is the annoying brother that Jimmy wants to slap upside his head. Both of the best friends are crushing on other people who don't return their feelings. Broken-hearted, both do something they regret. Jinny pursues Mek despite knowing he's not interested until the day she finds out he is gay and gets her heart stomped on. Ryu tries to date Pimdao but is friend-zoned. He sees her in WhaWha's car and sees the kiss. He snaps a pic on his phone in a moment of anger.
You can guess where this leads. Both drunk. Not a hookup but a sharing of secrets and being kind to each other. This development leads both to start looking at each other with new eyes. As for the Greek restaurant with plate smashing, I've been to Greece, and I've never encountered it, but maybe it's done sometimes? It was a strange scene. But I think when you are upset, smashing plates is an excellent way to take out your frustrations.😁. The kiss, I'm sorry, Plan but you need some practice. Once again, the chemistry was ok, but the kiss was awkward. Overall this storytelling was mediocre at best, so it's getting a mediocre rating.
Story 6 – VS Love
Peak Peemapol – Tonnam
Boom Krittipak – Phupha
This story is another happy reunion of Peak and Boom that made me smile. They have great chemistry. It was lovely to see them in different roles this time. Tonnam is a transfer student to an expensive private school. He is a scholarship student who got into the school so his little sister would have a good educational opportunity, as she was allowed into the school too.
This story combines the elements of appearances that can be deceiving and justice. Tonnam is not afraid to stand up for himself and soon comes to loathe the school "bully." He hates injustice. He believes that people should speak up when they see something wrong. Interestingly, this story uses a small-scale justice within the school as a metaphor for Thailand's justice system. With lines like "This is Thailand. Do you think justice exists?" "You gotta fight. Fight to the death. Even if you get nothing in return, but at least you get to fight for the right thing." We learn that Phupha was once a model student, but after witnessing a cheating incident and bringing it to the principal's attention, he learned that family ties are more important than truth. So the boys bond with each other, both revealing personal truths or secrets to each other.
The truth comes out because Tonnam decides to be a whistleblower. I love this. Even though it ended with him being expelled, the need for others to know of wrongdoings was stronger in him than personal motivation. Even though both boys are long past the days of wearing a boys' high school uniform, I bought into it. Both Boom and Peak did a good job at developing characters in only one episode. They made me miss the days of Make It Right. Hopefully, we'll get to see them work together again soon.
Story 7 – My Puppy Love
Perth Tanapon – Beam
Mix Wanut – Boom
Beam is the typical artist, shy, withdrawn, and a little weird. He doesn't feel that he fits into the typical student life, but he does have a few good friends. Boom is his friend who is a player in the school. He gets the girls to go out with him easily because he's outgoing and charming. However, he is also never serious about the girls.
Tonkhao is a new transfer student to the school, along with her older brother Tonnam. Beam has a crush at first sight. He thinks she is pretty and sweet. So given the title, you see how things will develop. We have the playboy who thinks he can have a date with anyone, the shy artist, the cute girl and her friend who like art as well, and a friend who tries to mediate between the two hotheads. The unique point in the story is the artist spends all semester working on his sketch of her in secret. And he decided to leave her special snacks at her desk anonymously. It is a predictable story with a sugary sweet ending. Forgettable once it is over, I have to give it a rating in the middle of the scale. I would call it tepid. Perth is also too old to play a schoolboy. It felt strange to see these adults dressed in kids' clothes, like Earth, Boom, and Peak. At least the others were allowed to play college-age students.
Overall, Project 7 felt like one long filler episode of a series that you might want to see, but it was mostly predictable and forgettable. The songs are fine. But I expected more depth from New and Wabi Sabi Studio.
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. [See our Review Guide]

I have not seen all the episodes, but for me the glaring weak spot were the scripts- flat, one dimensional and needlessly set in high school. Ep 1 was partially Earth's tendency to wail at the drop of a hat but also his character was written as scared of everything, while Santa's character was written as scared of nothing. Trite as heck- but a nice debut for Santa.
After Love by Chance and Until We Meet Again- I thought P'New was the best director in Thai BLs- but there were trouble signs already- the abysmal ReminderS and 2Wish. My Gear and Your Gown cemented the problems in P New productions- he could no longer cast/direct great performances from novice actors. While Fiat came through in MGYG, and Aun made a promising debut- the leads floundered and the pacing was off.
Perhaps trying to run a studio while keeping a busy directing schedule is taking a toll.
Based on the 3 or 4 of the 7 stories I've seen- 3/5 seems fair.

When you are the only son of a man with a net worth of $8.7 billion (around Rs55,680 crore), what does money mean to you? How do you deal with it?
Adar Poonawalla, 36, son of Cyrus, who set up the Serum Institute of India that manufactures vaccines and immuno-biological drugs and is ranked the 10th richest Indian on the Forbes Rich List, entered the family business at the young age of 20. Today, apart from being chief executive officer of the empire that his father has built, he is also in charge of his personal money management.
"I take care of the finances (personal wealth). It is our CFO (chief financial officer), father and I who take the decisions. There is no one really managing, apart from us," says Adar.
Poonawalla's money management mantra is diversification. "The investment strategy is a combination: There is debt investment in government bonds, about Rs1,000 crore is invested in equities, and the rest goes into acquisitions and expansions. A portion also goes into social work, while a substantial chunk will be set aside for NBFC (non-banking financial company) investment," he says.
Since then, the company's exports have grown. "Today we are in 147 countries, and 85-90% export-oriented. We have also been increasing our business in India. The ratio will probably be 60:40 as of now. In the last decade, we have been investing a lot in technologies—we have been buying technologies from the US, Europe and Asia," he says.
This year, for instance, the company launched a vaccine against rotavirus that can be stored at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and does not need refrigeration.
In the last five years, the company has made two acquisitions in Europe—the Czech arm of US-based Nanotherapeutics Inc. in April, and Bilthoven Biologicals in the Netherlands in 2012.
Poonawalla describes himself as a risk-taker when it comes to investments. "I wouldn't take risks in things I don't understand. Maybe I will take more risks in the vaccine space than, say, real estate, where I will take very selective and limited projects with some limited partners, say, some old friends. For that matter, in lending, I would not do that. In the stock market, I will take less risk because it is not an area I am fully familiar with," he says.
Poonawalla gives more credit to experience than education for his investment journey. He says it doesn't matter whether you are a Harvard graduate or a Hadapsar (Pune) graduate. "I never went to an Ivy League school. I have learnt through experience, exposure, others' mistakes and successes. For example, it doesn't take a genius to figure out from the way the stock market has been performing the last two years, you need to buy good stocks with good promoters. Bajaj Finance, Godrej Consumer Products and Britannia Industries are my favourite stocks. Look at the finance, consumer and agro space. Had I bought in 2014, I would have quadrupled my investments. I bought in 2016 and have only doubled my investments. You have to look at trends. It is not education that is going to help you. It is your nose for these things, your experience. In the last 10 years, we hardly invested anything in the stock market. In the last three years, we have invested more than what we invested in the last two decades," says Poonawalla.
Asked how he knows if he has picked the right piece of art, Poonawalla says it becomes clear only when he thinks of selling it. "But generally speaking, there are some principles that I use. One, it has to be a signed painting by the artist. Two, a quality check is done to check for any damage. I would never buy a piece of art unless it is painted by the painter in the main years in which he was known and famous for. There is no use of buying (M.F.) Husain before he became famous. And the subject is very important. You have to buy the right subject, say, Husain's horses or Mother Teresa." He buys art only at auctions, and not at private sales.

Q: Drupal - Load page on hook_cron run I'm developing a drupal module. I'm using only 2 hooks (hook_menu, hook_cron)

*

*In hook_menu, I create a menu callback that does a certain function.

*In hook_cron, the problem resides here. I wanna execute the path I created in hook_menu every time hook_cron runs!
How can I do that?!!!

A: You can use something like this.
drupal_http_request(url('your/path', array('absolute' => TRUE));
It's however not clear to me why you can't simply call an API function in your cron hook, another page request has quite an overhead.

London is a city of music and throughout the year, you will find engaging music festivals taking place in the city. Such festivals are part of the city's culture. Undeniably, this musical culture provides a sublime experience of fun and liveliness.
However, this year, due to the pandemic, music festivals may have some restrictions that are mandatory. These festivals are a mixture of all sorts of music popular in the region. Evidently, culture and love thrive with music. Here, we have compiled a list of festivals you will find in London this year.
Pop Music Festival
Electronic Music Festival
Wide Awake Festival 2022
An intriguing music festival that brings out all kinds of underworld musical notes. It is a two-day event taking place at Brockwell Park, London. The music atmosphere is expected to be electrifying with many artists taking up the stage.
The two days' line-ups also include Bicep Duo and the Primal Scream rock band. They will also host other top favourite bands on the day.
Junction 2 Festival 2022
Looking forward to spending the Jubilee Bank Holiday raving beneath the M4? Then head to the Junction 2 Festival! The electronic music festival returns to Boston Manor Park in 2022 with two jam-packed days. Major electronic heavyweights will be lighting up the stage with their performances.
In other words, it will be a dancing rollercoaster for movers and shakers. Line-ups include John Hopkins, Nina Kraviz, Robert Hood, Four Tet, Ben Klock and Erik Drew. The list is rather long with some big names as well as newcomers. Thus, the festival is a must-visit for techno-geeks.
We Are FSTVL 2022
06–07 August 2022
We Are FSTVL is the UK's largest independent dance festival, celebrating the best of house and techno music. Recently, it has announced its phase 1 and 2 line-ups, indicating that this year's music festival will be a memorable one.
The 9th edition of the festival will return to The Airfield of Dreams, introducing some of the most world-famous names in Bass, Techno and Dance music. Line-ups include Sonny Fodera, Marco Carola, Jamie Jones and many more national and international stars.
South West Four (SW4)
26 – 28 August 20222
The Southwest Four Festival, abbreviated SW4, is an annual electronic dance music festival held in Clapham Commons, London, during the August Bank Holiday Weekend.
Last year, famous DJs such as Fatboy Slim, Dizzie Rascal, Sasha Arman Van Buuren were headlines. Unfortunately, the line-up hasn't been announced, but big names are expected to take up the stage.
Lovebox 2022
Lovebox, which has moved to a new location in North London and has reduced its line-up to a single day, is the place to be for a mix of hip-hop, pop music, RnB, Reggae music, and dance.
Still, the final line-up is awaiting confirmation. However, some previous year performers are expected to light the stage one more time. Founded by the electronic duo Groove Armada in 2002, the festival has become a flamboyant attraction in modern music culture.
Music has become a vital part of London's culture. That's why Londoners enjoy such beautiful music festivals to keep their vibe unmatched in all seasons of the year. At these festivals, you can also make some friends in the most amiable atmosphere of London's musical culture. Most people, especially young adults, enjoy hospitality and leisure time at such festivals. Also, these events can be stress-releasing after long working months. Besides music, slot games can be another way to find amusement in your free time. You can check some new slots at platincasino.

About Salix
Why Vulnerable Plaque
About Artrya
Artrya expands into the United Kingdom
Reducing the burden of coronary artery disease across the United Kingdom
Every eight minutes someone dies in the United Kingdom due to coronary artery disease.
According to the British Heart Foundation, the condition is responsible for about 64,000 deaths each year in the UK, an average of about 175 people every day.
As well as sudden deaths from heart attack, there are also 2.3 million people who live with the condition.
At Artrya we want to change the trajectory of coronary artery disease. Artrya Salix is an AI solution that supports the easy and accurate detection and reporting of the presence of coronary artery disease biomarkers, including critical vulnerable plaques.
We want patients to be empowered with knowledge about their coronary artery disease risk. We want clinicians enabled to quickly and accurately report on coronary artery disease. And we want healthcare systems to be equipped with the processes and platforms to support everyone.
This month we have taken another next step in our development as a global MedTech company, signing a commercialisation agreement with Eversana to further our business in the UK.
This agreement will mean Artrya has immediate on-the-ground support to demonstrate and secure local pilots for our AI solution, Artrya Salix, across the United Kingdom ahead of regulatory approvals.
What Artrya means for clinicians
Artrya Salix offers a breakthrough way to assess coronary artery health with its novel way of visualising the underlying cause of heart attack – vulnerable plaque.
These soft plaques that build up in the arteries are prone to rupture, break away and block the blood vessels, depriving the heart of oxygen.
This presence of vulnerable plaque has previously been difficult and time-consuming to detect on the best non-invasive imaging technique available, CCTA, even by expert readers.
Using the automated, AI-driven technology of Artrya Salix clinicians can be presented with an assessment of calcification, stenosis and vulnerable plaque within minutes that rivals the accuracy of specialist clinicians.
This is one of the ways technologies can support UK clinicians – by speeding up reporting times and enabling them to focus on the highest-risk patients.
Data from The Royal College of Radiologists revealed the NHS workforce was short-staffed by 33 per cent and the system required almost 2000 consultants to meet "safe staffing levels and pre-coronavirus demand for scans".
More than half (58%) of radiology leaders say they do not have enough diagnostic and interventional radiologists to keep patients safe.
And the problem is getting worse. The College said without more consultants in training, investment in new models of care or better staff retention and recruitment, "by 2025 the UK's radiologist shortfall will hit 44% (3,613 consultants short of real terms demand)".
Technology such as Artrya Salix can help meet demand by reducing the time for each coronary artery disease report to about 15 minutes.
What Artrya means for healthcare systems
As well as supporting clinicians with effective and fast reporting, reducing the burden on healthcare systems, Artrya Salix also has the potential to reduce costs.
The cost to the UK healthcare system of coronary artery disease is currently £7.6 billion. While a fraction of the equivalent impact on the United States system of £188 billion, it remains a significant sum that can be improved with better insight and processes.
AI advances can assist with this by improving specialist workflows and screening out unnecessary further medical procedures or treatments.
In October 2021, Artrya received notification of its successful acceptance of Artrya Salix as an NHS supplier for artificial intelligence software.
Through the NHS Framework Agreement, about 1250 hospitals and other health organisations are able to purchase Artrya Salix under simplified procurement processes and pricing agreements.
With radiologists and cardiologists enabled to assess more patients over a given period, their expert skills would be put to use more efficiently, and there would be the capacity to ease the backlog of medical imaging required.
What Artrya means for patients
The ability to have a non-invasive, accurate and fast assessment of a person's coronary artery disease biomarkers is a major breakthrough for patients.
People who know their true coronary artery disease risk will be able to act on it. They could be empowered and motivated to make necessary lifestyle changes, or take the medications as recommended by their doctor.
And with the knowledge of the presence of vulnerable plaques, they could be better prepared and educated about their heart attack risk.
Artrya Salix will offer a rapid, accurate and effective way to see coronary artery disease in the UK.
People will be able to see their heart disease in a new way.
Salix is registered in the ARTG (347719) (TGA-Australia)

Irina Drozd was born on 17th of March 1980 in Rzhev, Tver, Russia. Her artistic education began in 1997 at the Venetzianov Tver Art School in Tver, Russia. Having completed her initial schooling in fine art in 2002, Drozd went on to graduate from the St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Design at the faculty of monumental and decorative painting where she studied under professor S.P. Ponomarenko from 2003 - 2009. Even before Drozd graduated from the Academy of Arts and Design in St. Petersburg she had made a name for herself internationally.
In 2007 the artist completed her studies at the High Art University in Berlin under professor Werner Liebmann. Drozd had the opportunity to develop her work further in Paris where she was an invited artist at the "Cité Internationale des Arts" in 2010.
Her works are in demand not only in Russia however, all across the globe and both official and private collections for example, the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow and the passionate art collector Lenny Kravitz are acquiring works of this talented new star.

If a 9 to 5 job makes finding time to exercise difficult for you or your employees, don't despair. Squeezing in an early morning workout might just be the best way to prevent weight gain – particularly during the high-stress holiday season.
A recent study by Belgian researchers put three groups to the test: How much weight would otherwise healthy individuals gain over a 6-week period? All participants ate a high fat, high calorie diet, mimicking holiday eating habits. Group 1 engaged in no formal exercise for the entirety of the study. Group 2 ate a carb-heavy breakfast before a strenuous morning workout. Group 3 exercised first thing in the morning then chowed down on the same high-carb meal as Group 2 after their workout. Unsurprisingly, the group that didn't exercise gained about 6 pounds over the course of the six-week study. The pre-workout breakfasters gained about 3 pounds overall, but shockingly, the group that exercised before eating did not gain a significant amount of weight. The study's authors suggest that exercising in a fasted state coaxes the body to burn a greater percentage of fat for fuel during vigorous exercise instead of relying mainly on carbohydrates.
Exercising in this ideal fasting state is usually only possible before breakfast. So, encourage your employees to stay healthy and trim year-round with pre-workday workouts. Remember: healthy, active employees take fewer sick days and report greater job satisfaction than their heavier counterparts, which makes for a more productive and economical work environment.

It's a common thing for employees to be always busy, that's why they forget to exercise and stay healthy. They should always maximize their time for them to have at least a few hours of exercise.


Indian hackers (name IndiShell) have hacked 30 Pakistani government sites as payback to lamers of Pakistan Hacking Indian sites.
Some of the hacked sites include governance website of Pakistan and City Development Project (MCDP) websites: http://www.privatisation.gov.pk/index.html, http://pak.gov.pk/, http://www.paknavy.gov.pk/index.html, http://www.paknavy.gov.pk/index.html, http://www.paknavy.gov.pk/index.html, http://www.dfp.gov.pk/index.html etc.

India-Pakistan cyber-rivalry has been ON for few years – last year, Pakistani Hackers Hacked CBI Website in response to hacking of Pakistani govt. sites on 26/11 by Indian hackers. Does this solve any purpose or has it become a toy for hackers to show-off (their hacking skills)? After all, we all know that government of countries like India/Pakistan are least bothered about website security and there are open security holes in these websites.
And like we have said earlier, both these governments should employ ethical hackers (no not Ankit Fadia) as consultants in order to ensure the security of data.

After all the headlines Kanye West made in the past week, it was inevitable that SNL would address the rapper's antics, and the show did just that in a sketch called "A Kanye Place", a parody of the current hit horror film A Quiet Place. And while the rapper can get fired up about some things, he had a light-hearted response to the sketch. So naturally, Saturday Night Live wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to offer up a humorous take on the continuing Kanye circus. Glover is the last one standing in the end, but he's powerless compared to Ye's tweets. In an episode full of surprises, including an appearance from Stormy Daniels in the opening sketch poking fun at the president's Russian Federation scandal, Glover's timing is absolutely ideal.
Over the past week or so, one of the most discussed news stories, for better or worse, has been Kanye West being...well, peak Kanye West.

Anupama Parameswaran signs Ninnu Kori Tamil remake
Directed by Kannan and produced by Cosmo Kiran, the film also has Atharvaa Murali stepping into the shoes of Nani
CE Features
@XpressCinema
Anupama Parameswaran has been roped in to reprise Nivetha Thomas's role in the Tamil version of Telugu rom-com Ninnu Kori.
Directed by Kannan and produced by Cosmo Kiran, the film also has Atharvaa Murali stepping into the shoes of Nani. "I am playing a Bharatanatyam artiste in the film and being a classical dancer myself, I think I will be at ease doing that part," begins Anupama.
The Premam actor knows comparisons with Nivetha, who played Pallavi, a classical dancer in the Telugu version, are inevitable. "I'm glad to play the character that Nivetha (Thomas) has essayed brilliantly in the original. It's a challenging role and I'm trying to internalise the emotions of that character. I also understand it's hard not to draw comparisons to her portrayal. Nevertheless, I am trying my best to bring life to that character and not pale in comparison," shares Anupama, who is set to start shooting for the film soon.
Meanwhile, she is awaiting the release of her Telugu psychological thriller Rakshasudu, a remake of Tamil film Ratsasan. She will be seen as a teacher in the film also starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas. "It's a role that carries a lot of intensity and determines the course of the film. I have done extensive research to portray it and dubbed in my own voice to emote better. The Tamil version was well-received by the audience and I'm hoping Rakshasudu will also receive equal acclaim," signs off Anupama.

My mother-in-law loaned this to me and suggested I read it and since she never asks me to read anything (knowing how eager I am to move to the next book on my own list), I indulged. She said it "just showed how awful people can be" and I would never, ever list that as the takeaway for this novel, but if you know how sweet my mother-in-law Kim is, it makes sense that this was hers.
The story is about a maid named Molly (lol) who works at a fancy hotel and ends up being witness to a crime that happens there with a high profile client. Molly is a bit of a naïve and quirky character and in trusting the wrong people she ends up being manipulated into being the prime suspect. The plot itself makes it a mystery novel but it doesn't really follow the typical mystery genre tropes. It reads to me as more of a character study.
Nita Prose
I liked that this book was different, I've really never read anything like it before, but it's hard to enjoy a character study when you don't like the main character. I found Molly incredibly obnoxious, often quite dense, and a bit uppity at times. She's very socially awkward with very few friends and when the book starts her Gran has just passed, someone who cared about her and whose life advice guided her. Molly is constantly quoting her Gran which is something I think Prose was hoping would be charming but that I found incredibly annoying.
Gran always drilled into me the importance of a clean and orderly home. 'A clean home, a clean body, and clean company. Do you know where that leads?' I could not have been more than five years old when she taught me this. I looked way up at her as she spoke.
'Where does it lead, Gran?'
'To a clean conscience. To a good, clean life.'"
It was also really hard to follow Molly through this mystery when she walks right into one red flag after another. It's like when you see people in scary movies run upstairs or open the basement door and you're like, are you on actual drugs or... I will say, part of Molly's naivety comes from her just being a genuinely kind-hearted and trusting person. It tracks that I would relate more to the people taking advantage of her, where my mother-in-law would relate to Molly herself.
There were a few parts where I found the humour really good. Molly is obsessed with The Olive Garden (who isn't) and there are very descriptive paragraphs of her menu choices and the food she likes there. I respect Prose for specifically mentioned the appetizer trio. This is the writing I can get behind.
Gran always said that the truth is subjective, which is something I failed to comprehend until my own life experience proved her wisdom. Now I understand. My truth is not the same as yours because we don't experience life in the same way."
Even though I didn't love this, I am finding it really cool that Canadian authors are making their way onto more and more bestseller lists. The media has really blown this book up and Universal even bought the rights to it for a movie adaptation. Apparently it's supposed to star Florence Pugh as Molly, which I don't personally want to see because I love Florence Pugh but it is a big deal for Prose so good for her.
I didn't really like this but I can see why other people did and I think if you like reading easy, current fiction, this would be a great one to add to your list this summer.

I was fascinated by Iain when he appeared in David and Murdo's story and here we finally get to find out more about the dashing Captain Sinclair.
The feel of this book was different, given the long friendship between the two men and there were a lot of times when the both got in their own ways but I totally understood the fears.
It's always great to read a MM historical done well and this whole series from Joanna Chambers has been a real pleasure.

Transitions are changes between schools. Every change to a new school hurts kids academically. The more changes, the worse.
In a K-6 model, kids have the opportunity to stick with a single school during their entire elementary career. In the proposed reconfiguration models, all kids will transition between schools after 1st grade (a time that is particularly difficult for kids), and, if there are graded wings, again after 4th grade. If there is a combined sixth grade, that would be an additional transition.
Having more grades in one school allows long-term relationships, the development of multiple adult mentors for children, students' and families' sense of rootedness and attachment to their school and community. In contrast, having fewer grades means more transitions.
Transitions have been shown to have negative effects numerous academic, social and emotional measures, with negative effects particularly pronounced for students from socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. Because of the advantages of multiple-grade continuity and the disadvantages of transitions, many-grade schools increase parental involvement, reduce student anxiety, support student self-esteem, and better maintain student achievement – all especially for low SES students. Much of the research on grade continuity has focused on the benefits of K-8 schools versus middle schools. The longevity of relationships has been shown to support almost every measure considered – academic performance, safety, inclusion, levels of participation, healthy adolescent development.

Anderson, Pauline F. "Grade-Span Configuration and School-to-School Transitions." Ed.D., College of Saint Elizabeth, 2012. http://search.proquest.com/docview/1013839821.
TOPICS: grade configuration / grade span / transitions
SUMMARY: This is a dissertation investigating a school district with 5 transitions – the district has K-1, 2-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-12 schools. All are unified except the 2-4 schools – there are two of those. Grade size is 250-400 students in the unified schools. Many students feel they transition fine but parents, teachers, and support staff express more strain. Among the problems:
Each transition shows a discernible drop in achievement
Teachers with incoming students say they are not sufficiently prepared because between-school instruction is not well articulated, so there's a significant amount of re-teaching
The schools experience high student turnover rates – in several, half the school's students are new each year. This makes it hard for staff to get to know all the students, and creates significant adjustment strains.
Each transition requires a significant effort by schools to help the students adjust. Parents are often not brought along as well, and they are not involved as much in the new school if they are not involved in the transition.
Students do not develop an identity with any school, only with the district – author suggests this reflects a failure to feel real belonging.

TOPICS: grade configuration; school size; equity; financial cost
SUMMARY: See summary for Bickel, Howley, Williams and Glascock 2001.
An excerpt from the conclusion of this article: "The equity effects are so striking, and appear so instrumental in association with the "excellence" effects of small size in impoverished communities, that further investigation into this mitigating influence would seem crucial."
Bickel, Robert, Craig Howley, Tony Williams, and Catherine H. Glascock. "High School Size, Achievement Equity, and Cost." Education Policy Analysis Archives 9 (2001): 40.
SUMMARY: Both Bickel and Howley articles (this one also with Williams and Glascock) perform one more study and again show that in schools with larger grade spans and lower numbers of students per grade, socioeconomically disadvantaged students do better – indeed the difference between SES groups goes way down. They conclude that this is a major equity issue and policy should move toward supporting smaller rather than larger or more specialized schools with narrower grade groupings. Also, cost is actually reduced.
An excerpt from the conclusion of this article: "As with seven previous analyses, we have found that as school size increases, achievement test score costs associated with having economically disadvantaged students in schools increase, as well. This finding has now proven robust across seven states and at least four different regression model specifications. This degree of consistency is rare, indeed, in educational research."

TOPICS: grade span; early childhood center
SUMMARY: This study compared kindergarten students' learning in PreK-K schools versus kindergartners in schools with other configurations (e.g. K-5 or K-6). It found they learned more math and reading in the latter. It was based on a large sample of schools and kids, and used a quantitative analysis. The authors reasoned that kindergartners in the schools with larger grade spans learned more because they had the examples of older kids in their school, and because kindergarten teachers were more aware of the expectations of 1st grade teachers. (My comment: It may not be seen as compelling to some as a reason to prefer K-5/K-6 schools because its measures of success are solely about academic learning (reading and math), and there are good arguments being made these days that academics are now overly emphasized in kindergarten. Also, while it suggests there is better articulation of grades in multi-grade schools, this is an interpretive explanation, not something proved by their data.)
*Coladarci, Theodore, and Julie Hancock. "The (Limited) Evidence Regarding Effects of Grade-Span Configurations on Academic Achievement: What Rural Educators Should Know. ERIC Digest.," 2002. http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED467714.
TOPICS: Grade span; transitions
SUMMARY: Reviews several papers on grade span and effect on academic achievement. Several studies show that students' academic achievement is higher in schools that encompass elementary and middle school (e.g. K-8), or that run K-12. (Various studies focused on 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th graders). But authors caution that there are not a lot of studies and suggest that other things are more important. Still, transition effects are largely negative and where there are transitions, schools should take steps to lessen their impact.

Howley, Craig B. "Grade-Span Configurations." School Administrator 59, no. 3 (March 2002): 24.
TOPICS: grade configuration; school size; equity
SUMMARY: Discusses debate over various grade-span configurations. This article is cited by others as saying that grade cohort size is a significant issue. Offers several provocative, well-informed "hunches" concerning the implications for practice – some of these are powerful, including the first two:
" First, the evidence rather clearly suggests that the tendency to create narrow grade-span configurations reinforces the bad habit of building larger and larger schools. Larger schools damage educational equity for everyone, and they undercut educational excellence in impoverished communities, according to a growing body of evidence.
Second, every transition from one narrowly configured school to another seems to disrupt the social structure in which learning takes place, lowering achievement and participation for many students. Predictably, this damage will be most severe in the cases of students from impoverished backgrounds. Short of providing an adequate living for poor families, we can at least restructure our educational system to mitigate the detrimental effects of poverty. A logical move seems to be smaller, more broadly configured schools-and smaller districts."

TOPICS: small schools; equity; grade configuration
SUMMARY: From abstract: Many experts have endorsed small schools as educationally effective, often adding parenthetically that smaller size is especially beneficial for impoverished students. A recent series of studies, the "Matthew Project," bolsters these claims….The Matthew Project … in Ohio, Texas, Georgia, and Montana …found remarkably strong and consistent equity effects of size. Across states, the relationship between achievement and socioeconomic status was substantially weaker in smaller schools than larger schools.
A key pt on small vs large schools, and grade configuration: "schools of differing grade-span configuration but the same enrollment are not really the same size in terms of their impacts on students; the one with fewer grades is larger."
*Look, Keith. "The Great K-8 Debate." Philadelphia Public School Notebook, 2001. http://roomnine.org/a/about-us/ThegreatK-8debate.pdf.
TOPICS: grade span; middle school; neighborhood school
SUMMARY: Reviews a number of studies, and reports on conversations with Philadelphia principals, to summarize the advantages of K-8 schools over separate elementary and middle schools. This is very helpful because the same arguments apply to K-6 schools as opposed to more limited grade span schools.. Advantages of longer grade spans in a K-8 school (versus separate elementary and middle schools):
More students are more well known by more adults. The early grade teachers know almost every student in the building. Middle grades teachers can speak with any of them about students' histories, learning styles, and family dynamics. Students can maintain relationships with past teachers they feel most connected with and find them when they need support, advice, or friendship.
School is safer because older children take on the part of protector, tutor, and role model.
Parental involvement is greater through the higher grades because parents remain connected to one school longer and are more likely to have more than one family member enrolled in the school at the same time.
Younger and older siblings can travel to and from school together.
Staff members are able to see their influence as the students grow from small children into young adults under their supervision.
Advantage of neighborhood schools:
School staff members feel more connected to the community because schools serve a smaller geographic area.

TOPICS: grade span
SUMMARY: This one is well cited but not all that useful.

DMK cries foul, Stalin detained for sitting on a dharna

DMK leader MK Stalin, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, has been detained after sitting on a dharna at Chennai's Marina beach. Stalin was protesting against being manhandled by police personnel and marshals.
Police rounded up scores of DMK MLAs including Stalin who were protesting against the trust vote in the Assembly.
Stalin asked people to join him in the protest to 'remove' the 'anti-democratic government' that won the floor test in the Assembly earlier in the day.
Stalin, along with other DMK members, was evicted from inside the Assembly by marshals on Saturday afternoon ahead of the crucial floor test.
However, once evicted, Stalin rushed to the Governor to complain about his alleged manhandling.
The DMK leader showed the media his torn shirt before rushing off to the Governor. He alleged that he was attacked by police and marshals inside the assembly.
"(Due to the ruckus) again the proceedings were adjourned till 3 PM. But around 500 police personnel, led by Additional Commissioner of Police Seshasayee entered the Assembly and manhandled us by hitting us with shoes," Stalin said.
"Now we have given a letter to the Speaker to postpone the Session," he added.
DMK members were evicted on the orders of Speaker P Dhanapal for allegedly protesting and creating a ruckus that had turned violent.
Earlier in the day the Assembly witnessed unruly scenes with the opposition members insisting on a secret vote and wanting MLAs to be allowed to visit their constituencies and meet the people before they cast their vote.
The Assembly was adjourned twice before the floor test took place at 3 pm.
AIADMK Legislature party leader and Chief Minister E Palaniswami won the trust vote 122-11 in the Assembly in the absence of the Opposition. DMK MLAs had been evicted and the Congress MLAs chose to stage a walkout ahead of the trust vote. IUML MLA also staged a walkout along with Congress. So effectively, the voting was between the two factions of the AIADMK – the faction supporting Palaniswami, who was appointed by Sasikala, and the revolting Panneerselvam faction.

CYCLONES DEFEAT IRONBIRDS IN SERIES OPENER, 6-1
June 26th -- Aberdeen, MD -- The Brooklyn Cyclones (7-3) defeated the Aberdeen IronBirds (1-8) in the first of a three-game series at Ripken Stadium on Sunday night. Starter Marco Camarena (1-0) walked none and yielded just two hits in 6.0 innings of work. The lone run Aberdeen produced off of Camarena was unearned. Righthanders Randy Fontanez and Tyson Seng combined to pitched 3.0 innings of scoreless relief. Aaron Wirsch (0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up three runs in 5.0 innings. Javier Rodriguez collected three of Brooklyn's six hits, going 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and two runs. Brian Harrison paced the Cyclones by walking twice, picking up two RBI, and scoring a run.
Harrison notched the first run of the game after drawing a walk, advancing to second on a throwing error by Wirsch on a failed pick-off attempt, advancing to third on a wild pitch, and scoring on another throwing error by Wirsch on a force attempt at first base. Chase Greene drove in the second run of the inning on a groundout.
Brooklyn added another run the following inning on a throwing error by the second baseman on an attempted 5-4-3 double-play.
With a 3-0 lead in the top of the fifth, Harrison roped a two-out line drive to right field to plate Rodriguez and Ismael Tijerina to push the score to 5-0.
After retiring nine IronBirds in a row, Camarena yielded his only run of the game in the bottom of the sixth. The run, however, was unearned as Adam Davis, who scored the run, reached on an error.
Brooklyn and Aberdeen were both held scoreless in the seventh and eighth innings, but the Cyclones added another run in the ninth on Brandon Brown's third home run of the season.
Entering the bottom of the ninth with a 6-1 lead, Seng retired Aberdeen in order. Seng struck out two of the three batters he faced.
The Cyclones will take on the IronBirds at 7:05 p.m. tomorrow, Monday, June 27. Eduardo Aldama (1-0) will oppose Parker Bridwell (1-1). Brooklyn returns home to MCU Park on Wednesday, June 29, for a game against Hudson Valley. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the MCU Park box office, by calling 718-507-TIXX or at BrooklynCyclones.com.

The day was an absolute success for our Summer Fair and the weather was amazing. The team worked so hard and we'd like to give them a big thank you for their help on the day and all the planning that went with it.
The Mayor Geoff Watt joined Dorothy and Yvette (trustees) for a wonderful Victorian afternoon tea in our "new " Tea room. A special thanks goes out to Pat Wheeler for her wonderful homemade cakes, Geoff and Simon the "Sandwich Man" from Wallasey for their kind donation of all the butties for the afternoon tea, they were delicious as ever!
Entertainment for the event was provided by "The Remnants" a six piece band playing a mix of country, folk and rock. They were great and really set the scene for fun and dancing. 2 year old Layla one of the staff' s great granddaughter stole the show with her dance routine!
A really big thank you to the whole team of volunteers both from the centre and the shop, what an amazing, kind hearted, hard working bunch they all are, as ever we could not do these fab events without them all. So thank you to them all!

On the day we raised over £1100+ and still counting!!
Finally the biggest Thank you goes to all our wonderful supporters, families and friends who once again turned out to make this yet another success.

Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli is one of those wonderful recipes that is delicious, easy and quick to put together. Once you have all of your ingredients prepped for the dish, the sauce comes together in just a few minutes. You can put on a large pot of water for the pasta on at the same time that you begin preparing the sauce. By the time your water boils and you cook the fusilli, the sauce will be finished.
What I really like about this Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli recipe is the flexibility. Last night I wanted to have a fresh tortellini dish for dinner. I took this recipe and switched out the shrimp for sliced boneless chicken breast and used 8 ounces of tortellini in place of the fusilli. It was so good! You could really play around with this basic cream sauce and have some fun.
Fill a large pot with water and place on high heat for your fusilli.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring until they are just pink. This should take about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
Add the chopped shallots to the pan. Cook stirring occasionally over medium low heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Add the wine to the skillet and let it simmer until it is reduced by half.
Add the sun dried tomatoes and heavy cream. Bring to a low simmer.
Add the chopped spinach and stir until the spinach wilts. This will only take a couple of minutes.
Add the dried parsley and parmesan cheese and let the cheese melt into the sauce. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Add the shrimp back to the skillet and heat through.
Cook the fusilli according to the directions on the box for your desired tenderness. Drain.
Return the drained fusilli to the large pot and add the sauce to the pan. combine and serve.
I am glad it shows! Thanks for stopping by.

The general dentistry residency program prepares the resident to comfortably enter private practice. Emphasis is placed on clinical training including cosmetic dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, operative dentistry, and restorative aspects of osseointegrated implant prosthodontics. Residents also receive extensive training in hospital dentistry and in comprehensive treatment of medically-compromised patients.
Dentistry residents are encouraged to accelerate at their own pace, beginning with relatively simple cases under close supervision. As the year progresses, residents assume more independence and responsibility for their patients, with attending staff available for consultation.
Dentistry offices in Medical Office Building A, Third Floor, Suite 340 closely parallel a traditional private practice. Residents are appointed patients and remain responsible for the dental health of those patients throughout the residency.
Dentistry residents complete one-month rotations in anesthesiology, oral surgery, and internal medicine, and other rotations in the emergency department. Rotations off campus include those sponsored by the Knox County Health Department. Didactic training and clinical supervision are provided by attending staff from general dentistry and each dental specialty. Monthly lecture series are conducted and residents participate in research projects. The general dentistry program offers an optional additional year in which residents undertake advanced training in the treatment of medical and dental cases of greater complexity. Additional operating room experience and elective studies are included in the optional second year.
Candidates for the program must be a graduate of a dental school accredited by the American Dental Association Council on Dental Accreditation.
"This group practice setting in a hospital environment will better prepare me for treating patients from all backgrounds in addition to various dental emergencies that may ensue.."
