The implications of Covid-19 for leadership on sustainability
The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership
"Over September and October 2020, CISL invited close friends, Senior Associates and Fellows to a series of conversations to explore the implications of the challenges and transformations for business action on sustainability. In total, 50 experts with a wide range of backgrounds joined the sessions.
What has Covid taught us about the leadership we will need within organisations to build sustainable economies and societies?
We need leaders who can translate knowledge, discussion and analysis into action.
Unlocking action will require a better understanding of the reasons for inaction. That requires us to recognise that there is no single, 'rational' and objective truth or path that leaders should follow. That our interpretations of what is 'rational' depends on our values and our world views, which shape the structures and rights that we seek to protect and the needs that we seek to meet. We also need to recognise that those values and worldviews aren't changed and shaped only by data, but also by the 'tribes' (political/social/professional) to which we belong, and affected by emotional, psychological and cultural factors. Effective leadership in the future will need to:
Challenge itself to consider whether aspects of the status quo, such as values and aspirations, that it is seeking to protect are part of the problem rather than offering solutions. This means engaging with the' tough stuff', being willing to sit with discomfort and pushing personal and collective boundaries to enable new thinking to emerge.
Engage with people who hold different world views to identify common ground, using engaging strategies that use powerful, aspirational narratives that speak to multiple communities rather than relying solely on data driven arguments.
Demonstrate emotional intelligence, with the ability to pause and listen, to empathise, to engage authentically. There has been media commentary that political leaders who have demonstrated emotional intelligence have fared better (some commentary has focused on the relative success of female leaders and 'feminine' traits).
Our leadership is much better at responding to an urgent crisis than responding to major long term, systemic challenges. We need leadership that is able to bring future crises into the present in order to stimulate an immediate response."

"Foyle's War: A Lesson in Murder." An 11-year-old evacuee from London staying with a Hastings judge (Oliver Ford Davies) is killed in a booby trap and Foyle (Michael Kitchen) has two theories to investigate. One involves the judge's refusal to allow his daughter (Sophia Myles) to see her working-class boyfriend (Elliot Cowan). The other involves a pacifist who died in prison not long after the judge denied his request for conscientious-objector status. Meanwhile, Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) begins dating the son of the owner of Hastings' Italian restaurant. Tony: Danny Dyer. Emily Gascoigne: Cheryl Campbell.

Health Bill's impact on rural hospitals
By Max Grossfeld |
Posted: Fri 7:15 PM, Jul 07, 2017 |
Under the Republican Senate health care bill, Medicaid would be cut my more than $770 billion over the next ten years, compared to projections under current law.
That could disproportionately affect rural hospitals that rely on patients access to Medicaid to get paid.
Coal Country Community Health Center treats 85 opioid addicted patients, a vast majority of whom rely on Medicaid.
"Medicaid is tremendously important. It supports our local hospitals. It supports our federally qualified health center and it's one of the reason we're in existence," said Dr. Aaron Garman, Coal Country medical director.
The health center treats patients using prescriptions, a different approach from many in North Dakota. Garman says if patients lose access to Medicaid, it could be a killer.
"It'd be very difficult for them to receive that service and a lot of them would go back to using Medicaid," said Garman.
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., visited the newly renovated Sakakwea Medical Center, which shares a building with Coal Country. Medical officials there say cuts to Medicaid would inhibit providers from providing as many services as they'd like.
"Having those individuals be without some sort of health coverage is challanging not only for them, but then us as providers to make sure we're reimbursed for those services," said Darrold Bertsch, Sakakawea Medical Center CEO.
"The important part is to see all these communities who are working really hard to continue to provide health care right here at home. We shouldn't make it harder for them in Washington, D.C," said Heitkamp.
The North Dakota Hospital Association says health care and social assistance account for one-in-seven workers across the state. Heitkamp argues cuts to Medicaid could slow rural economic growth by eliminating some of those jobs.
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said Thursday he wouldn't support the bill in its current form.

Currently, there are no tests to confirm the diagnosis of menstrual migraines. The only way to accurately tell if you are suffering from menstrual migraines is to keep a migraine diary for at least 6 months, recording all migraine episodes and the days you menstruate. By doing this, you will be able to identify non-hormonal triggers that you may be able to avoid to prevent further episodes.
HOW ARE MENSTRUAL MIGRAINES TREATED?
There are numerous treatment options for menstrual migraines, although none of these options are licensed to specifically treat them.
If you experience migraines and heavy periods, taking an anti-inflammatory painkiller such as mefenamic acid could help relieve your symptoms. Mefenamic acid is an effective migraine preventative and can be started 2 to 3 days before the expected start of your period. Naproxen can also be an effective treatment when taken once or twice daily around the time of menstruation. Oestrogen supplements are also commonly used to relieve migraine symptoms, but remember to discuss using estrogen with your doctor before using. Increasing your falling estrogen levels just before and during your period might help if your migraine occurs regularly before your period. Oestrogen can be taken in several forms such as skin patches or gel. If your periods are irregular, your physician may suggest other ways to maintain your estrogen levels such as an oral contraceptive pill.

Margaret Mahy's Fairy Tale Universe
Author: Nicholas Tucker
Fairy tales are a treasure trove of the human imagination, enriching each generation that turns to them. Contemporary writers have always borrowed here and there from this great power-house. This can mean re-writing fairy tales in a modern day setting, but another technique is to make use of key fairytale imagery and happenings. One of the very best children's authors doing this now is Margaret Mahy.
Many of her stories for older children employ magic, ghosts, spells and time-shifts. But this is no tired wheeling out of traditional story-book fantasy. Instead she shows how everyday childhood is always full of near-fairytale happenings. The result is a fusion of life as readers know it to be and as they sometimes imagine it to be. She writes about ordinary, lively children who quarrel, back-chat and go to school like everyone else. She also shows that behind every ordinary family there's a wealth of fantasy normally only known to the individuals involved.
Take the ghosts and spirits of fairyland. In most fantasy stories, these show themselves only on rare moments. Yet in real life many of us converse daily with the familiar and often highly articulate spirits living in our own consciousness. Most parents, for example, remain aware of the ghosts of themselves when young, or the ghosts of their adolescent children when they were infants. When people we love die, we think and dream about them for the rest of our lives. Sometimes we find we are actually talking to them in the privacy of our own minds. Adolescents in particular often carry around a large 'invisible audience' in their heads, cheering them on when they've done something good or jeering at the moments of perceived social failure.
Novelists writing for adults usually represent such 'ghosts' in terms of a character's general introspection. But younger readers want more than imaginative abstractions in their stories, and it's here that Mahy is so skilful. She describes what children think about and feel while also sometimes giving these thoughts and feelings an imaginative existence of their own. The ghosts and spirits in her novels have a psychological reality and an actual existence at the same time. The time-shifts she describes correspond to the way we can all, on occasions, feel that we are also experiencing life at some moment in the past or during the future according to where memory or the imagination is taking us at that minute.
There are other parallels between imaginative experience and fictional realisation in Mahy's stories. In The Haunting, young Barney is harassed by the spirit of a missing great uncle, who begins to take over Barney's body and look out through his eyes. When Barney gazes into the mirror, it's not always himself he sees in return. His great-grandmother behaves like a witch, and occasionally Barney catches vivid glimpses of a land elsewhere that he has never seen before. His older sister, Troy, is revealed as a magician, capable of transforming herself into 'A flowering tree, a flying bird, a burning girl, a creature made of stars'.
Now think of the equivalent imaginative situations in young readers' own lives. As another great-uncle points out, '"Barney is changing, like a caterpillar in its chrysalis. I think he's becoming a different sort of boy."' Looking in the mirror and seeing someone else is not just a feature of ghost stories; it also relates to adolescents' occasional surprise about the rapidity of the changes in their physical appearance. Sometimes adolescents develop a strong resemblance to older members of the family at the same age; thus the impression of someone familiar but not quite you looking back from the mirror. The imaginary countries Barney visits are reminiscent of those fantasy lands that children dream about. The magic that big sister Troy creates is a realisation of the enormous imaginary power children possess inside their own heads. The great-grandmother as witch stands for those old people who in real life sometimes appear to cast a malignant spell over others for whatever reason.
The theme of adolescent development is also found in The Changeover. In order to save her young brother's life, 14-year-old Laura agrees to go through a 'changeover' from ordinary child to witch. The images involved in this process symbolise the changes within puberty all girls must face. Thus Laura sheds blood before going through the gate from which there is no return. As a new woman, she feels unexpected power while also becoming aware for the first time of the sexual interest she attracts from others and which she now sometimes feels for others herself.
In Dangerous Spaces, 11-year-old Anthea has yet to arrive at adolescence. She encounters the ghost of a boy who becomes her companion. In this way a day-dream is externalised in the shape of a child both living and dead, with all the attractions and occasional dangers of a real boy friend at a time when most young readers will only be experimenting in their imaginations with such notions. More disturbingly, 17-year-old Harry (a girl) in The Tricksters wonders whether she's going mad when the characters she invents in her romantic novel seem actually to exist in her own life. Living too much inside one's own head has its perils at any age, and this novel explores some of the dangers that arise when fantasy threatens to become more vivid than reality. Habitual solitary readers may already know something about this situation from their own experiences with books.
In Mahy's latest novel, The Other Side of Silence, life imitates fairy tale rather than the other way round. 12-year-old Hero is an elective mute who knows that 'Real life is what you are supposed to watch out for, but an invented life, lived truly, can be just as dangerous'. Her invented life includes walking through the branches of the trees around her house, pretending to be a child of the wild woods fostered and fed by birds. One day she falls into the garden of Miss Credence, a solitary older lady who immediately christens her Jorinda. But Hero forgets that the Grimms' story of 'Jorinda and Joringel' is a sinister one, and soon finds herself kidnapped by Mrs Credence now behaving like a wicked witch. Hero is locked up alongside another Jorinda, Miss Credence's previously unknown and silent 'closet child' who is perpetually chained to her bed. Both are finally rescued by a young male visitor. Hero and the closet child find their voices, with Miss Credence now taking on the silent Jorinda role after a bungled suicide attempt.
Hero states that 'Real is what everyone agrees about. True is what you somehow know inside yourself.' Mahy's novels fuse the real and the true. A fairy tale warns Hero against dangers in reality, but at other times her imagination transforms reality into its own fairy tale. Mahy herself writes stories where at some moment the magical becomes real while at others the real seems magical. She and her readers know that human fantasy can always create the extraordinary from the ordinary. Her skill is to merge one with the other so artfully that readers flick from reality to fantasy and then back to reality as effortlessly as they do in their own heads during everyday life. The stories she tells are also excellent in their own right: what a writer!

Q: Integral inequality of measurable functions for every measurable set implies function inequality a.e. as long as measure is $\sigma$-finite
Let $(X, \mathscr{A}, \mu)$ be a measure space and let $f,g: E \to [0, \infty]$ be measurable functions such that: $\int_A f d\mu \leq \int_A g d\mu$ for every measurable $A \subseteq E$. If $E$ has
  $\sigma$-finite $\mu$-measure, then $f \leq g$ $\mu-$a.e. in $E$.

I am not sure how to go about showing this. I have seen, in the case of the Lebesgue measure, that two functions being equal almost everywhere implies that their integrals are equal. However, this proposition is going the other direction and is extended to general measure spaces.
I am also confused about the need for a $\sigma$-finite $\mu$-measure. Presumably, the need for this comes up somewhere in the proof of the statement, but as I am not sure how to begin, it is not clear to me why this is necessary.
I would appreciate any hints to get the ball rolling on this question or references to textbooks covering this.

A: Since $\mu$ is $\sigma$-finite, we can can write $X = \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty X_n$ with $\mu(X_n) < \infty$. We only need to show that $f(x) \leq g(x)$ for $\mu$-almost all $x \in X_n$ and all $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
Thus, let w.l.o.g. $\mu$ be a finite measure.  Now let $Y_n := \{ g \le n\}$. Again, we only need to show the that $f(x) \le g(x)$ for almost all $x \in Y_n$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
Therefore we can also assume additionally that $g$ is bounded, i.e. integrable. Now let $A_\varepsilon := \{f \ge g + \varepsilon\}$. The condition implies
$$\int_{A_\varepsilon} g \, d \mu \ge \int_{A_\varepsilon} f \, d \mu \ge \varepsilon \mu(A_\varepsilon)+\int_{A_\varepsilon} g \, d \mu. $$
Since both sides are finite, this can only happen if $\mu(A_\varepsilon) =0$. All in all, we find
$$ \mu(f > g) = \mu( \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \{f \ge g +1/n\}) \le \sum_{n=1}^\infty \mu(A_{1/n}) =0. $$

A: It is easy to reduce the proof to the case when $E$ has finite measure. Let $f_N=\min \{f,N\}$ and $g_N=\min \{g,N\}$. If we show that $f_N \leq g_N$ a.e. for each $N$ we are done. Replacing $A$ in the hypothesis by $A_N\equiv A\cap \{f\leq N, g \leq N\}$ we get $\int_{A_N} f_N \leq \int_{A_N} g_N$. In particular $\int_{A_N} (g_N-f_N) \geq 0$ when $A=\{g<f-\epsilon\}$ [Note that $\infty - \infty$ does not appear here since the integrals are finite]. Can you now show that $A_N$ has measure $0$ (for every $\epsilon >0$) from this an conclude that $f_N \leq g_N$ a.e.?

Q: Webpage rendering differently IE8/Vista versus IE8/Win7 - what to try next My site, built on wordpress, is coded XHTML 1.0 strict and CSS3.  It validates except for script tags not CDATA enclosed, and unclosed < br > tags, and those found in jquery-ui.css
The site is live on a domain www.example.com while the development site is live on www-dev.exampledev.net  Both installs have the same code.
On IE8 on Win7 both sites render the same for both www and www-dev sites..
While IE8 on Vista the www-dev site renders correctly, but the www site has a problem with the placement of the major page navigation - there's a gap that shouldn't exist.
I don't have access to an IE8 Vista box, so I can't easily look at the code using the IE equivalent of FF's webmaster tools
Any suggestions on how to deal with it?  I'm wondering if it's not the same issue as this one:
Strange rendering issue occurring in IE8 only

A: My guess would be that one of your copies of IE8 has is falling into IE7-Compatibility mode.
The symptoms you've described are typical of this -- the same site with the same code behaving differently in different copies of IE8, or when hosted in different locations.
IE8 (and IE9 come to that) have an annoying little feature which can cause it to drop into compatibility mode without telling you, and only for some sites.
The way to find out if this is what is happening is to open the developer tools window (press F12). The rendering mode is displayed at the top of this window, to the right.
Try this in all the combinations you've tested in, and my guess is that you'll find at least one of them reporting that it's in IE7-compatibility mode.
So why does IE do this? There's a configuration setting, which tells IE8 to use compatibility mode "for intranet sites". That is, sites on the local network. The idea behind this is that corporate users may have intranet applications which were designed for earlier versions of IE and can't be upgraded. It allows them to upgrade IE while still using those applications internally. It would have been a great idea but for two mistakes: Firstly, all those corporates were stuck on IE6, and the compatibility mode is only for IE7. And secondly, the compatibility mode is not 100% identical to a real IE7 anyway; it has bugs and quirks of its own. So a bit of an own goal then. But it's there, and you need to know about it.
So how do we get around it? The first answer is to switch the config setting off. Sadly, for most of us, we can't dictate this to your users, so the full solution is to use a meta tag which Microsoft invented specifically to help developers get around this problem. Add the following to your HTML header, and the problem should go away:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Hope that helps.

A: Take a look at this to see if your using any of the selectors etc that are not available in IE8 then we can find a work around for IE8 :)


We designed this French Country kitchen for a client in Brookville, Long Island. The kitchen made it's movie debut it Adam Sandler's movie — The Cobbler (see story here). This particular French Country Cabinetry collection we carry at Kitchen Designs by Ken Kelly is the result of an extensive collaboration between one of America's foremost French Country architects, Jack Arnold, and the dedicated craftsmen and artisans at our manufacturer, Bentwood. The result is an exquisite, elegant kitchen/bath/home cabinetry collection of absolutely authentic door designs, custom finishes, accoutrements, and concept details.
This Bentwood Architectural was inspired by one of the most enduring traditions in French furniture history. In 1789, the French Revolution toppled the monarchy of Louise XVI. In the fifteen troubled years that followed, three other regimes — the Republic, the Directoire, and the Consulat, rose and fell in rapid succession. In the world of cabinet making, the ornate styles associated with the French monarchs were rejected and new furniture was hurriedly commissioned. A new style, born of demand and necessity for improvisation, came to be known by one of the elected governments of this turbulent period, Directoire. The hallmarks of the Directoire style are simplicity and subtlety. The basic geometric forms of Louis XVI style are retained, but the silhouettes are austere and clean. Colors are subdued and decoration is understated in keeping with French Society's transition away from the flamboyance of the Royal French Court.
We chose three finishes for this kitchen in black, green, and off white. We combined four cabinet door styles: 1) Avignon, a diamond shaped solid raised panel; 2) Rochelle, a square shaped center panel with 1″ x 1″ clipped corners; 3) Toulouse, a raised pyramidal center panel with an applied molding; 4) Cassis, a decorative X-shaped mullion door which we used in combination with dove wire (Dove wire has smaller holes than chicken wire). The countertops are granite (Costa Esmaralda) and cherry. We built an exposed interior spice shelf into the range on the hood.
The backsplash area behind the stove is a custom hand-painted mural on porcelain. We used a traditional wall-mounted pot filler by Waterstone in an American Bronze Finish and a Towson kitchen faucet. The biscuit porcelain sink is from Whitehaus. We combined the SubZero refrigerator and freezer into an armoire-style configuration with decorative storage and custom panels.
We completed the look with the wainscoting panels, door casings, and crown moldings to match the French Country collection.We also added an entertainment sink for drinks and ice in the step-up eating bar (shown in photo 1). The creative process resulted in an elegant kitchen with character, sensible design, and understated elegance. See our accessory selections below.

Toomey Introduces Bill to Improve Permitting of Natural Gas Pipelines
U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) this week introduced the Pipeline Permitting for Energy Security Act, which would create regulatory certainty for natural gas pipeline construction and approve Mountain Valley Pipeline completion.
"It is long past time to stop the exploitation of outdated laws to prevent the construction of pipelines, which are the safest and most efficient way to transport natural gas, by activists and the politicians who cater to them. The obstruction of commonsense, essential energy infrastructure projects has resulted in higher energy costs, increased global reliance on energy produced by tyrants like Vladimir Putin, and ironically prevented increased distribution of the energy source most responsible for the declines in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions," said Senator Toomey.
The proposed Pipeline Permitting for Energy Security Act would streamline the process for approving and constructing new pipeline infrastructure in the United States. The bill would limit state authority to delay construction by mandating concrete timelines for review under the Clean Water Act. It would also clarify which factors unrelated to water quality could not be considered in the review process, and it would provide a clear scope of navigable waters included in the review. In addition, the bill would protect the use of general permits to prevent duplicative review of construction along the same pipeline. Finally, it would streamline the National Environmental Policy Act review process for major federal projects and prevent the expansion of the Endangered Species Act qualifications that have been used to obstruct pipeline infrastructure in the past. This bill is a vital step in ensuring energy security for our nation.
READ: Renewable Natural Gas Solution to Climate Change
"Through the Pipeline Permitting for Energy Security Act, Congress would create regulatory certainty for pipeline construction nationwide and greenlight the long-delayed Mountain Valley Pipeline. This would also enable increased access to low-cost, clean, and safe natural gas from Pennsylvania. Real, lasting permitting reform is pivotal to creating a sustainable American energy policy for the 21st century."
Congressman Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) introduced the House companion to the Pipeline Permitting for Energy Security Act on Thursday.
"Pennsylvania is the second-largest natural gas producing state in the country, and I'm committed to making sure the Keystone State can continue to serve as an energy leader in the United States and around the world," said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.). "The Biden administration has created so many burdensome regulations on our domestic energy production during his first two years in office, driving costs up and shrinking the value of Americans' hard-earned dollar. This bill eases regulatory conditions so pipelines can transport that gas from Pennsylvania to the Northeastern United States, ultimately lowering energy costs for families and businesses. I thank Senator Toomey for his joint effort to ensure Pennsylvania can lead America's energy comeback!"
Several stakeholder groups voiced support for Senator Toomey and Congressman Kelly's efforts:
"Pennsylvania has world class natural gas assets, but pipeline constraints prevent us from fully unleashing the value of these resources for consumers locally and allies abroad. Natural gas demand is strong – and we're seeing producers across the state respond with new well activity, but we need to be able to get the product to consumers, domestically and abroad. America needs action on policies that will reduce chronic permitting delays, encourage more local manufacturing uses and build more energy infrastructure. We applaud Senator Toomey for his efforts to streamline the permitting process, once again signaling his long-standing, steadfast support of American energy security," said Marcellus Shale Coalition President David Callahan.
"We welcome Senator Toomey's contribution to the ongoing discussion on improving permitting processes for infrastructure critical to meeting our nation's energy, economic, security, and climate goals. This legislation is focused on meaningfully addressing overly burdensome regulations associated with the Clean Water Act (CWA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for both interstate natural gas pipelines and other vital energy infrastructure. We hope this further informs the conversation around permitting reform as we head into the next year," said Amy Andryszak, President and CEO of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA).
"As a matter of energy security, permitting reform legislation would address and ensure our nation's ability to produce and deliver our vast domestic energy resources, including renewables, and enhance our ability to effectively transition to a lower-carbon future," said Thomas F. Karam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Equitrans Midstream.
"UGI Energy Services supports Senator Toomey's bill that would make important changes to the pipeline infrastructure permitting process. Natural gas and natural gas infrastructure are critical to ensuring our economy can grow and that many U.S. families can live comfortably. It's time for the Congress to pass legislation that enables an infrastructure to be built that can deliver clean, reliable, and safe energy throughout the U.S. while also protecting the environment. We are grateful for Senator Toomey's longstanding and unwavering support of our industry and look forward to passage of this important legislation," said Joe Hartz, President, UGI Energy Services, LLC.

Why Are Some People Claiming Boiled Bone Broth Is A Superfood?
We've seen fish oils come and go, coconut oil may be past its heyday - so what's the next new trendy superfood on the shelves? It's hard to believe and even harder to stomach - boiled bone broth
Dr. Justine Butler of Viva!
Are boiled animal bones REALLY a 'superfood'?
Some weeks ago, Channel 4 broadcast Superfoods: The Real Story. This programme examines so-called superfoods and reveals the science (if any) underlying the claims, or so they claim.
First up was gelatine, we didn't know that was a superfood now!
It's the clear, wobbly stuff derived from collagen from various animal body parts.
Gelatine is commonly used as a gelling agent in foods such as jelly, pharmaceutical drugs, vitamin capsules, photography and cosmetics.
Various claims have been made for collagen particularly in the field of skin care. At face value, the idea of making skin healthier from within makes sense, but are these 'nutricosmetics' just a spoonful of expensive pseudoscience?
Would you be better off just eating well and drinking plenty of water?
Cosmetic companies have been pushing collagen creams and drinks but with limited success as the science just isn't there to back up the claims.
In 2015 the Advertising Standards Authority ruled against the company Minerva's TV advert for Pure Gold Collagen (containing fragments of collagen extracted from fish).
The Authority said it misleadingly implied the product directly affected the quality and collagen properties of consumers' skin.
Last year Minerva was again told to cease an advert that claimed their product could help you achieve younger-looking skin, healthier hair and stronger nails.
Again, the scientific evidence was even more absent than the wrinkles!
Gelatine is often used to make chewy sweets
So Channel 4's Superfoods: The Real Story decided to investigate gelatine (because that's an easier hook from a journalist's perspective than 'collagen').
They wanted to find out if gelatine could help you build collagen around muscles and bones thus increasing strength and protecting against damage.
However, instead of looking at the strongest people in the world who have the least bone fractures, the programme's presenter Kate Quilton hopped on a plane to where she described as 'hip health food Mecca' Los Angeles where she hung out in a hipster bar that now sell the latest fad – bone broth – in trendy Mason jars for $9 a pint.
She then met Prof Keith Barr at the University of California who is investigating the effects of gelatine on building new collagen in the body.
Quilton ate some jelly, did some speed-walking, then a blood test showed she was making more collagen than earlier – when she hadn't been speed-walking.
The programme then inferred that jelly could help reduce aging wrinkles in the face. Hurrah – a new magic bullet. This seems to be the point of nutrition journalism today rather than searching for the truth.
As ever, a diet rich in healthy foods like fruit and veg, is the answer
It's very tiresome having to repeat the same mantra over and over – there is no magic bullet.
Coconut oil, honey, fish oil, goji berries… none of them are the elixir of life.
However, antioxidants (found in abundance in fruit and vegetables) delay deterioration and help combat aging. Some studies show that prunes, apples and tea (especially green tea) can be beneficial.
Peas, beans and lentils are a rich source of nutrients that have a protective effect on the body too.
Meat and dairy on the other hand have an adverse effect. Not as sexy as one new trendy food fad but far more effective.

For many people, the hardest part is the first part, which is just getting that admissions essay down on paper.
Sometimes people have a hard time working up the motivation, and other times people feel blocked by lack of confidence in their writing, but once you've started, you have every reason to celebrate. The unfailing rule of thumb is that it's always easier to clean up an essay than it is to start with a completely blank page.
But before you run off to drop the essay in the mailbox, you need to complete a few more steps. Just a little extra care before you send the essay on its way can improve your hard work even more.
Structure is what makes essays readable. It's what allows your thoughts to be thoroughly understood and followed by others. Many people have great ideas, but they have a hard time communicating those ideas well. Structure is one of the first things they can improve when they're trying to get their point across.
The structure of your essay can go beyond a simple five-paragraph scheme with a beginning, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
In fact, the structure needs to relate directly to the content of your essay. It's extremely worthwhile to spend a minute outlining exactly what you'd like to say, and then building on these points.
Transitional sentences are mentioned a lot when teachers and tutors give advice to beginning students, and the main idea is for the last sentence in one paragraph, or the first sentence in the next paragraph, to show the relation between the two main ideas in each paragraph.
In a well--structured essay, you should be able to read the first sentence of a paragraph and have some idea of what came before it in the previous paragraph, why this idea is immediately following the previous one, and how these ideas are connected.
Many people are blind to the details of their writing until they've taken some time away from it.
Until they perform this crucial step, they can't read it and have an understanding of what it looks like to a total outsider, someone who is completely new to the topic. Being able to imagine what it's like to read your essay for the first time, and see it with a newcomer's eyes, is a crucial skill in self-editing.
After you've completed a draft of your admissions essay, you should ideally let it rest for a week or so before you pick it up again.
This way, you'll have a fresh perspective when entering the revision process.
Editing for structure will allow you to organize your essay for once and for all. You can take any ideas that still seem like fragments and develop them fully. You can connect vague points, which you weren't able to see before, and make sure they coincide with the major theme of the essay.
Basically, you give yourself a chance to see the flaws and shortcomings of your writing before you send it out to an entire review board for admissions.
You will need to go through the entire essay and watch for several different elements of organization and content order.
For instance, take the introduction.
Does it properly introduce the essay? Is there a clear and concise thesis? Is it clear what the tone of your paper will be?
The introduction is very important because it tells the reader not only what the essay will be about, but also how you will relay the information.
The body paragraphs need attention as well.
Does each paragraph include one solid point for which you supply sufficient evidence?
Do any sentences fail to stay in direct relation to the thesis?
Are any sentences void of true purpose?
If you find you are repeating your ideas, or leading into territory that doesn't help support the main topic of the essay, you should consider removing extra material.
Editing an essay for structure allows you to mold the piece of writing into the finished product you envisioned. It also allows you to create your best work possible. Once you complete this edit, make sure you also edit the essay for style.
In the end, you'll be glad you took this extra time to edit appropriately. You not only end up with a stronger essay, but also a better shot at being accepted.
Also, be sure that each paragraph ends with a smooth transition. It can be startling to jump from one point to the next without a connecting sentence in between.
Finally, the conclusion needs to wrap everything up.
Do you provide the reader with a new look on the information you've already provided?
Does the paragraph provide a summation of why your thesis is important, and why it is well-supported by your body paragraphs?
You want to make sure the concluding paragraph is especially strong. This paragraph is what the reviewers will remember the most.


So football for women has arrived.
I wanted to join this, as a more 'mature' lady - because I am so pleased to see women's football out there. It still needs more air time. I am tired of all the news re men's football and not enough women's, they are far better tactical team players.
their 'chests'. Can you believe. So I missed the chance to learn or play it, but did athletics, tennis hockey etc.
I realised I haven't been to a live match yet - I want to see England Cup qualifiers and the friendly against Sweden in August - where do I find this out? What home team do I support? I don't know yet!
Re: So football for women has arrived.
there,s a lot to be said for being a neutral and enjoying a lot of cheap games (even free) .
i suppose we all pick our national team and one other local team, others travel thousands of miles a year.
uk TV seems to have a lot more to watch nowadays though.
their 'chests'. Can you believe.
What home team do I support?
Classic. Ah memories of women's training sessions in the 80s... the layered hair, the bad nylon shorts.

Iceland becomes first country in the world to make firms prove equal pay
in World 09.03.2017
The Nordic nation has pledged to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022
On International Women's Day, Iceland became the first country in the world to force companies to prove they pay all employees the same regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or nationality, Joinfo.com reports with reference to Independent.
The country's government announced a new law that will require every company with 25 or more staff to gain a certificate demonstrating pay equality.
Iceland is not the first country to introduce a scheme like this – Switzerland has one, as does the US state of Minnesota – but Iceland is thought to be the first to make it a mandatory requirement.
Equality and Social Affairs Minister Thorsteinn Viglundsson said that "the time is right to do something radical about this issue."
"Equal rights are human rights. We need to make sure that men and women enjoy equal opportunity in the workplace. It is our responsibility to take every measure to achieve that," he said.
The move comes as part of a drive by the Nordic nation to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022.
In October, thousands of female employees across Iceland walked out of workplaces at 2.38pm to protest against earning less than men. After this time in a typical eight-hour day, women are essentially working without pay, according to unions and women's organizations.
Iceland has been at the forefront of establishing pay equality, having already introduced a minimum 40 per cent quota for women on boards of companies with more than 50 employees.
The country has been ranked the best in the world for gender equality by the World Economic Forum for eight years running, but despite this, Icelandic women still earn 14 to 18 per cent less than men, on average,
This compares to the UK's gender pay gap stands at 17.5 per cent and the average of the OECD group of industrialized nations of 15.5 per cent
Should the new legislation pass through the Icelandic parliament as expected, the government wants to implement it by 2020.
Mr Viglundsson said there had been opposition to the law from those who said it represents unnecessary bureaucracy.
"It is a burden to put on companies to have to comply with a law like this," he acknowledged. "But we put such burdens on companies all the time when it comes to auditing your annual accounts or turning in your tax report.
"You have to dare to take new steps, to be bold in the fight against injustice."

Feature: Of foldable screens and printed electronics – TR35 4
March 21, 2008 by Shashwat DC
Imagine, if you could fold your computer screen like paper. Would we then ever need paper at all? For the past many years there has been a lot of work going along on foldable displays and other things like that with limited success. The good news is that there is an Indian researcher at Bell Labs is not only working on the prospect of foldable screens, but is seeing frution of his work. He was one of the TR35 winners, and profiling him was a challenge for me.
Chemistry was always something that I was mighty uncomfortable with, in fact, after mathematics, if there is anything that I really disliked, it would be chemistry. I could never understand why we roted those weird molecular diagrams of ethyl alcohol or Benzene. So I was literally grappling with Organic Electronics, much work went into understanding the basics first. And by the time I was done with the story, I had developed a healthy respect for chemistry in general and Organic Electronics in specific. Here goes the fourth part of the 6 TR35 series.
Of foldable screens and printed electronics
Ashok Maliakal for the past three years has been toiling at ways to revolutionize the computing world with the use of organic electronics. Going by the signs, it does not seem to be as far-fetched, as it may sound.
Much as we dislike it, plastic or polymer has nevertheless permeated everything in our lives. This organic substance seems to be fairly ubiquitous from white goods to textiles; polymer is an undisputed king. While it rules on the macro level, somehow it has not made headway on the nano scale. That all could very well change with the emergence of organic electronics.
Revolution seems like understatement, when one refers to the change that has occurred in the computing industry. Everything has dramatically and drastically changed; the processing power has increased hundred times over, applications have changed, newer devices have emerged. The only thing that has remained more or less untouched is the display device, or the unassuming monitor.
To be fair, the green monitor screen has been replaced by a much vibrant color screen; much slimmer and sleeker. In spite of these cosmetic changes, monitors have remained bulky and big. Take the case of a laptop display screen, in all these years; it has remained much as it was.
There is a ray of hope breaking on the horizon. A hope that in the future, display screens would not be as bulky as they are, they would not be limited to current materials, etc. All in all, the displays will be not only be sleeker but also more flexible in nature. A researcher at Bell Laboraties in the U.S. is earnestly working at making that dream come true and his name is Ashok Maliakal. He is a researcher in organic electronics.
Organic electronics (plastic electronics) is basically a branch of electronics that deals with conductive polymers, or plastics. The term 'organic' is used as the molecules in the polymer are carbon-based, like they are in every living or organic thing. Organic electronics differs from traditional electronics as the latter relies on inorganic conductors such as copper or silicon. "Since my doctoral work, I've been interested in how molecular structure affects a materials properties. Organic electronics is a wonderful place to explore these interactions," says Maliakal.
The singular biggest application of organic electronics can be seen in what is popularly termed as 'printed electronics'. This is an emerging technology that talks about printing of electronics on common media such as paper, plastic, and textile using current printing processes, just like we print a newspaper for instance. This printing utilizes common press equipment in the graphics arts industry, such as screen-printing, flexography, gravure, and offset lithography. Though, instead of the regular printing inks, families of electrically functional electronic inks are used to print active devices, such as thin film transistors, or RFID tags.
Once, printing electronics picks up, there is going to be an explosion of low-cost electronics useful for applications not typically associated with conventional (i.e., silicon-based) electronics, such as flexible displays, smart labels, animated posters, and active clothing. "Conventional ways of creating electronic circuitry are not only complicated but costly as well, with printed electronics there would be large scale upsurge in low cost devices. It would be quite dramatic," says Maliakal.
One of the biggest application of printing electronics could be in the production of flexible electronic displays. As the current displays are quite rigid in nature, printed electronics could help in the invention of a low-cost, foldable, bendable display devices that can be mass produced for applications such as large area sensor networks, lightweight viewing screens for various handheld devices like PDAs, etc. Philips last year displayed a device with a rollable display known as Readius, that is fairly similar in design but quite different in the way it is manufactured. "My work could help enable a practical printing process for generating flexible display technologies," says Maliakal.
Maliakal´s work at Bell Labs focuses on the design and development of nano-structured organic and hybrid materials for advanced electronic applications. His research is paving the way for design and development of functional electronic materials that will lead to new, fully integrated devices and sub-systems, as well as low-cost fabrication methodologies and increased functionality. Maliakal has made a breakthrough in the development of a new printable hybrid organic-inorganic material that formed good films with triple the permittivity of known polymers. "In it, I have mixed the certain properties of polymers (plastic) with that of titanium dioxide (ceramic) to achieve the new functional nano particle," he says.
The beauty of Malaikal's invention is that it not only allows inventive usage but at much lesser power consumption. "Prototype circuits made with the material operate at one-third the voltage of those made with the polymer alone. That could mean displays that consume a lot less power, " he adds.
For his pioneering work, Maliakal was recently awarded the prestigious TR35 Award. It is an award given annually by MIT's Technology Review to a selection of 35 of the world's leading high-tech innovators under the age of 35. And all that Maliakal would say is, "Excellent! It is a great honor."
Maliakal is a first generation American, as his parents had migrated from India a few decades back. He currently holds five patents awarded or pending and has published more than 16 papers. He completed his Bachelor´s degree in Chemistry from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Columbia University. His interests range from going out with family (wife and son) to music and running. He admits to occasionally see a Hindi movie, now and then.
Since, his parents are from Kerala, is he conversant in Malayalam? "I can understand it, but can't speak fluently. I will certainly not win awards with my Malayalam," he says. He occasionally visits India, and feels that "India certainly is improving in terms of scientific contributions. The number of research papers I read originating from India has been increasing."
Maliakal also does not believe in astrology or sun signs and would not share his birthdate, as one could discern his sun sign and would judge him accordingly. On a lighter note, that seems a rather obstinate trait; now which sign could that be, any guesses?

Chapter 11824


I have to admit, when the "Save the Date" arrived in the mail, I thought to myself, "Really Setha... a Thursday wedding????" Once we stepped foot on the grounds of The Grandview , we could see why the couple wanted to have their dream wedding there.
The waterfront venue had a picturesque panoramic view of the Hudson River and bridge. Now I understood why the wait for a weekend wedding was more than a year.
We arrived before the ceremony and the bridal party was wrapping up their formal portraits with the professional photographers. I was able to creep up and take a few pics from behind.
I found Setha's family hanging in the outdoor lounge area and snapped a group photo of them. It's been so long since I saw most of them and it was really great to see them and catch up.
The outdoor ceremony overlooked the Hudson River. For mid September, the weather was perfect; not too hot and not too cool but just right. Most importantly it wasn't rainy or dreary.
The pergola was adorned in crystal and lavender embellishments.
The bridal party were beautiful lavender dresses, Setha's favorite color.
The flower girls wore lavender lace dresses. They were so graceful as they dropped the rose petals.
Both mother of the bride and groom looked lovely in navy dresses.
The ring bearers were so darn cute. I absolutely loved that the twins rocked the Chucks with their attire.
The bride was gorgeous! She had a huge smile on her face and couldn't take her eyes of her soon to be husband as she walked down the aisle. She was full of excitement.
The couple included a symbolic unity sand ceremony.
After the beautiful ceremony, it was time to eat and party! The couple had live music performers to entertain the guests.
There was quite an elaborate spread during cocktail hour. From what I understand, it is typical for New York and New Jersey weddings to have a large cocktail hour with many offerings. I was so excited to try everything and I got full way too fast.
The staff was exceptional! They w were quick to replenish the food and quick to clear plates and glasses on the table, sometimes too quick.
There was an Asian station, Seafood station, slider/hot dog/fry station, Mediterranean station and not to mention the endless passed hor d'oeurves that kept coming out. We sampled sushi, scallops wrapped in bacon, potato latkes, arancini balls, sorbet... and those are the ones I actually remembered. There were many more!
It was nice that we were able to walk around the grounds and sit in the outdoor patio and take in the scenery.
I caught a glimpse of the newlyweds.
The decorations and details in the main dining was elegant and beautiful. I loved that the space was so airy. I had reservations that it would be chilly at night but I was advised that the tent was also able to be converted into a closed space with heat.
Guests signed the guest book and took turn snapping photos of the awesome Dexter groom's cake.
The announcement for dinner was made and we found our seats near the bride and groom's sweet hear table. The sun was starting to go down down and the color changing uplights in the tent were turned on.
The bride and groom's first dance was sweet and dreamy. I love the twirl she did at the end.
Lee's dance with his mother was endearing.
After all the wedding formalities, it was time to dance. It was such a great crowd.
For dinner, we were served a vegetarian soup, salad and our choice of made to order entree. Selections included stuffed shrimp, beef wellington, vegetable lasagna and a stuffed chicken dish. I was still full from cocktail hour but the Mo and I split the stuffed shrimp and beef wellington.
Lee surprised his new bride with a song he had written for her. It was so magical and romantic.
What a great night! We had to sneak out a bit early for the long 3.5 hr drive home but not before I took a selfie with the bride.
Congrats to Lee and Setha and we wish you a lifetime of happiness, laughter and great heath!

Q: How to draw path latitude and longitude values from database in map in android Hi am developing one application in that am displaying map with current location and longitude and latitude values and change that location. every 5 minutes am storing these latitude and longitude values in sqlitedatabase and am getting these database values its working fine. but, how to draw path using stored database values. please anybody tell me the solution.
code:
    PolylineOptions polylineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
    polylineOptions.color(Color.RED);
    polylineOptions.width(5);
    double latitude=Double.parseDouble(c.getString(0));
    double longitude=Double.parseDouble(c.getString(1));

    LatLng latlngval=new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
    Log.e("path", ""+latlngval);
    ArrayList<LatLng> latlnglist=new ArrayList<LatLng>();
    latlnglist.add(latlngval);

    for (int i = 0; i < latlnglist.size(); i++) {

        polylineOptions.add(latlnglist.get(i));

    }

A: You can use Polyline
PolylineOptions polylineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
polylineOptions.color(Color.RED);
polylineOptions.width(5);
Cursor c = database.query( ... ); //select the latitude and longitude column

YouTube TV news
Sony and Universal lose 2 billion views on YouTube
Hunter Skipworth · 28 December 2012
YouTube has removed more than 2 billion views from the Sony/BMG and Universal accounts. The move comes as part of a big spring clean by YouTube, which has withdrawn "fake views" from videos in more than 500 accounts over the past month.
YouTube is becoming a favourite among so-called black hat SEO scammers. Web users manipulate YouTube's view count systems to gain large numbers of views on videos. The result is that the videos rise to the fore on the video-sharing site and gain more views in turn.
Many of the black hat view-count builders promise near-instant returns on video views. Some offer as many as 100,000 views for around $5. It looks like YouTube is now finally cracking down on them and taking the music industry big boys with them.
Many of the biggest violating music labels have had most of their videos and content removed from their accounts. Sony's account is almost entirely empty at the time of writing.
Why, how or even if the major labels acquired illegitimate views that would be in violation of YouTube's policies remains to be seen. The main offenders mostly go against article 4, section H of YouTube's terms of service which relates to automated methods of view count inflation.
We think it's good to see YouTube levelling the playing field a bit. It should mean tat in future there is space on YouTube's homepage for genuinely exciting and viral content.
UPDATE It looks like YouTube hasn't stripped Sony and Universal of its views, but rather removed them from videos that haven't been active for a period of time.
Sony and Universal migrated content to VEVO and left numerous "dead" videos on their own accounts, hence the view deletion. This would also help to explain why so many videos have been removed from the respective accounts.
So no black hat to be found here then. However, such techniques do still exist and, in all liklihood, continue to raise views by pay-for customers artificially.

I like your website, musik and especially your videos !
I also like fly fishing very much and I'm a bit "jealous" about your way how you manage to combine your "work" and your passion.
If you stay some days in berlin – I would be happy if we could meet.
Trying to order the DVD, but Kenya is not on the list of countries when setting shipping address… Can you ship to Kenya?
Hi Jan! Okay, that has with PayPal to do, not us. Just enter some other shipping address when ordering and then mail us your address in Kenya and we'll post it.
You guys are the coolest. You give me inspiration for my flyfishing adventures, your humble yet funny ways, the passion for music and flyfishing. I'm in the United States Atlanta,Ga and watch and listen to you more than anything else.
I run a flyfishing shop in Lübeck/Germany and am interested to sell your DVDs in my shop .Looking Forward to an answer when you are back.
Ran across you guys via a video posted on Hatchesmagazine.com. Way cool – you combine my two real passions – jazz and flyfishing. Love the vid, and the samples from your CD. Now I need to order one… Thanks for making the world a bit brighter!
Good morning, congratulations for all the work you do and for what we do see, I just bought a DVD, I live in Italy, I ask you a favor, you could put in the packet to sending a small stone as a memento of your beautiful land where live and where one day I hope I can come?
Hi there guys. Any chance you can put your movies up on Vimeno for purchase? Love what iv seen from you guys so far, but currently can only see trailers on the Vimeo site. DVD's are so last year, so lets make purchasable downloads available?
First of all: I love your music!
Are you planning on releasing a vinyl edition of Slow Walking Water anytime soon? I would love to spin that gem on my turntable!
Hey! I bought myself a fly fishing set as a christmas present, partially thanks to you! I was just wondering whether there will be any other seasons to order as DVD aside from the first one? Also, I'm hoping reeeaaally hard that you're not over with this project and will release new full length episodes in the future as well!
is there a way to buy a version of the album digitally? or stream online? bandcamp? lovely tunes and videos, would love to listen in full, but don't need a CD.


Are missing teeth causing embarrassment or eroding your self-confidence?
Is it embarrassing for you to smile due to spaces or gaps between your teeth?
What would you think about restoring your smile in just a single appointment?
Your smile is one of the first things that other people notice. When someone is missing a tooth or multiple teeth, they often refrain from smiling around others. Instead, they hide their smile so as to not draw attention to it. Others may interpret this as a lack of friendliness or happiness when in reality that is not the case. The negative impact of missing teeth can wreak havoc on your personal, professional and social life.
Unfortunately, a single missing tooth can also affect all of the rest of the teeth in your mouth. The adjacent teeth often drift into the space, causing them to appear crooked and making you susceptible to plaque build-up, food deposits, and gum disease. The opposing teeth may also be altered as they erupt further from the socket in an attempt to find a tooth to bite against. When one tooth is lost, the rest of the teeth will respond.
By replacing missing teeth with options like dental implants, permanent bridges, partials or dentures, you can restore the proper function and aesthetics to your smile. Cosmic Smile Dental in Sydney offers a wide variety of tooth replacement options that can improve your oral health and also help you feel better about the way you look.
What Treatment Options Does Cosmic Smile Dental Offer?
We offer a variety of treatment methods for missing teeth, based on your priorities, concerns, and current oral health. Dental implants, bridges, partial and full dentures are all effective ways to restore the function of your smile. Deciding on which type of treatment to have will depend on several factors, but there is typically more than one acceptable method for most people to choose from.
What Is The Cosmic Smile Dental Procedure For Dental Implants?
Many dental implant patients find themselves going back and forth between specialists and their dentist for dental implant therapy. Dr. Pang is one of the few dentists in Sydney with the expertise and ability to restore your teeth as well as surgically place the dental implants. He along with his team of expert nurses and assistants evaluate and meticulously plan each individual patient's treatment from start till finish.
Phase 1 – Placement of titanium implant roots.
Phase 2 – After a healing period of 3-6 months, small abutments are placed on the implanted fixtures for the support of the replacement crowns or other desired prosthesis.
Phase 3 – Tooth replacements (crowns, bridges or dentures) are created in a laboratory and then affixed to the abutments.
Don't hide your smile any longer. If you've grown tired of the way your teeth look when you are around other people, schedule a consultation with Cosmic Smile Dental today. Our patients enjoy successful restoration of their smiles and enjoy the social benefits just as much as the function of their new teeth.
