IMPRESS OXFORD, at The North Wall Arts Centre, Summertown.
BOUND only by ability and a passion to print, Oxford Printmakers use some of the most up-to-date methods of screen-printing alongside techniques that remain unchanged since the time of Rembrandt.
Increasingly viewed as a dying form of fine art, printmaking is very much alive and kicking among the incredibly accomplished and dynamic artists that make up Oxford Printmakers, and the diversity of work on offer is proof that printmaking is as visually compelling now as it has been historically.
As you enter the exhibition, you're immediately met by Josephine Sumner's bold, bright and iconic jolly jungle. Celebrating much success currently, Sumner's Giant Anteater, top, featured in the Society of Wildlife Artists Annual Exhibition last September, and her colourful linocut Woolly Monkey has been selected for inclusion in the prestigious Originals 09 exhibition at Mall Galleries, London.
And when you see the energy and the idiosyncrasies of the animals present in Sumner's prints the reason behind this success is quite clear.
John Carey's dramatic etching and aquatint, St Catherine's Monastry, exudes an enormity that defies its scale. Carey juxtaposes dark and light to great effect, with a dark mountainous landscape towering behind the luminous church that sits before it, and in this way, the viewer is made aware of the magnitude of the role played by religion in this remote location.
Similarly, to stand before Flora McLachlan's prints is to see the world from an entirely new perspective. Possessing a mystic quality, McLauchlan delves deep into the darkest corners of the forest.
The first time I saw McLachlan's work I exclaimed to a friend that it made me want to run naked through woodland. This was my third viewing of her work, and my heart raced just as it had on the first occasion. It feels at once liberating and disconcerting to stand before these captivating visions; revelations that are ordinarily only privy to the wonders of the world of wildlife.
New to the Oxford Printmakers Co-Operative, McLachlan recently joined fellow exhibitors Irvine Loudon and Peter Lawrence as an Associate of the Royal Etchers and Engravers.
Caroline Maas's sketchy etching Down From Wittenham, is simply breathtaking, not least because it presents such a true representation of the English countryside on a typically grey and drear day. Maas is another of the Oxford Printmakers to have been selected to exhibit in the Originals 09 exhibition with her print, Willesden Junction II.
Many artists in this exhibition deserve commendation, from Irvine Loudon's powerful prints of war-torn devastation and gritty determination; the sculptural space created on the two-dimentional picture plane through Elizabeth Moriarty's simple, yet rhythmic, composition that captures the traits of the animals she depicts; Gerry Eaton's aquatic etchings with their Modernist, geometric fluidity and sense of movement that extends beyond the quiet of his carefully choreographed rectangles; to Elaine Williams' landscapes that are as inescapably 'Oxford' as any I have seen; yet the page is only so big… Impress Oxford closes at 4pm tomorrow, so get your skates on, and roll on up to North Wall Arts Centre, South Parade, Summertown.
However, if you don't manage to make it to the exhibition, all is not lost, as this pro-active group have several projects up their sleeves.
Clare Bassett currently has work on display at Branca, Flora McLachlan and Karian Van Assendelft have work at Sanders on the High Street, and Peter Lawrence's work can be seen at North Wall later this year in a May exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary celebration of six Chairmen of the Society of Wood Engravers.

Introducing Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research
Ronald Matteotti1,2,
Michel Gagner1,3 &
James Becker1,4
We are proud to introduce Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research [1], a new forum for cutting-edge findings and innovations in all surgical specialties. This journal is entirely open access, peer-reviewed and online. We are interested in articles from all areas of surgery, minimal invasive techniques and endoscopy, and related bioengineering. We want to promote the exchange of ideas, concepts and findings across all surgical specialties. The following types of articles will be published: research, short communications, hypotheses, commentaries, reviews (as invited articles), case reports, case studies, meeting reports, letters to the editor and book reviews.
Open access provides an unparalleled opportunity to present information to specialists and the public. The online appearance of Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research (ASIR) allows the immediate publication of accepted articles and the presentation of large amounts of data, multimedia files and supplemental information.
But do we really need another journal in the field of medicine?
Yes we do, because this open access journal will be accessible to everyone, and not just those with access to a library with a subscription. As such, ASIR will help to increase public interest in, and support of, research. Many major founders, such as the NIH and the Wellcome Trust, now have policies to encourage grant holders to release their research to the public as soon as possible after publication [2–4]. These policies are likely to be replicated by other major founders, especially following the recommendations of the UK House of Commons Committee [5].
A country's economy will not influence its researchers' ability to access articles in ASIR, because resource-poor countries (and institutions) will be able to read the same material as wealthier ones [6]).
Our ambitious aim is to function as an ideal bridge to close the gap between the revolution in surgical innovations and research, especially in minimal invasive surgical technology, and to help surgeons at the front line of patient care. The journal tries to centralize new knowledge in one forum to give a quick and comprehensive review over new innovations and relevant research. The scope of the journal is to advance the quickly developing field of new surgical techniques and innovations in a more and more technically demanding field. It offers an opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of illustrations and even movies, and therefore to act as the primary source for surgical innovations to be used by clinicians and researchers.
We recognize the need for a dynamic forum that fosters the exchange of ideas across the entire surgical community, a journal that is open access and online. We now have an opportunity to make Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research just such a journal, and this is an exciting challenge. Assisting me in this new venture is an editorial board, which consist of members out of 14 different countries, many of them true leaders, others very enthusiastic and soon to be.
For Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research to become an exciting forum for surgical research and innovation, we need you to contribute your most innovative and significant work in your field. In exchange, Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research will provide a fast, fair, and constructive review process; the highest quality production values; and a dedicated team of professional scientific editors, who are willing to discuss your research. All manuscripts are reviewed on the basis of scientific merit and held to the highest standards of excellence and editorial consistency. Upon acceptance they will be immediately available in PubMed and indexed by several other services.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Editorial Board [7] for their commitment to the journal and to express my most sincere gratitude to the entire staff of BioMed Central [8] for their valuable advice and support in launching this journal. Special thanks to Christian Schmidt, Deputy Editor of Molecular Cancer [9], who guided me through the initial steps of this adventure.

Darjeeling: As a part of the community policing development programme by the State Government, the Darjeeling Police has started a free coaching and training camp for aspirants of police and army jobs.
Incidentally, a large section of the youths from Darjeeling aspire to join police, para-military and armed forces. The free coaching and training camp is aimed at seeing them sail through smoothly.
The 100-day long camp is being held at Kanchenjunga Academy in Malidhura in Vah Tukvar Tea Estate area.
Earlier, the area used to be Gorkha leader Bimal Gurung's stronghold and was the worst affected in the 2017 agitation that witnessed heavy violence, explosions coupled with a 104-day long bandh. This area had occupied the centre stage for quite sometime.
Even the school, earlier run under the patronage of Gurung was steeped in controversy and kept under constant scanner of the security forces.
"We will run a 100-day long coaching and training camp for police and army job aspirants. We have chosen this area as it was the worst hit during the agitation," stated Akhilesh Chaturvedi, Superintendent of Police, Darjeeling.

In 2006 Chris & Chitel Pierre started R.E. Photography, a full service photography company specializing in Real Estate listings and Architectural Photography. As Real Estate Photographers, We've built a strategy for producing high quality images, on a consistent basis.
Our first Focus has always been quality imagery because photography is the foundation of any good listing presentation. Then we add elegant, sophisticated feature sheet and booklet designs and captivating, rich multimedia that will captivate your audience.
Every home is different and lighting is always the most important thing when it comes to photography. We need to use creative lighting techniques to ensure we get great shots for every room. We've always been able to capture images that compliment a home in its best light. We've had a good eye for what will stand out in an image or distract the viewer from seeing their potential new home.
Staging is also a big factor today but even though the majority of homes are being staged there are staging elements that look good when you're in the home but distract the eye in a picture.
We started R.E. Photography because we saw a need for better quality images for the real estate market and over the past 11 years the real estate market has helped better the quality of our images as well.
Lighting is always the challenge, from room to room, the light can be different so we're always mindful of that. Soft, uniform, natural light is what we hope for but we'll adapt to what we're given.

I've worked for a Managed Services Provider in the past and I can say that outsourcing your IT works well for companies with 100 employees or less who are basically centralized in one or two locations. Any larger employee base than that or multiple locations tends to pose logistical problems. MSP's (especially smaller ones) have difficulty servicing remote locations. Most times they are forced to contract out to freelance IT people and you never know who will show up at your doorstep to help "fix" your IT issues.
