Film: Fabio Piccioni's Si puo fare molto con sette donne (You Can Do a lot With 7 Women) (1972), music by Franco De Gemini and Stefano Torossi
Fabio Piccioni's 1971 movie Si può fare molto con sette donne (You Can Do A Lot With Seven Women), a crime thriller set in Egypt, stars Richard Harrison, Marcella Michelangeli, and Marie Louise Sinclair and features a soundtrack composed by Franco De Gemini and Stefano Torossi that also includes contributions by Alessandro Alessandroni and I Cantori Moderni.

Richard Harrison plays Mike Spencer, a detective from Interpol whose girlfriend may have been killed by a ring of drug smugglers that use a model agency as a front for their operations. In the course of following leads, Harrison's character is involved in fights, car chases, and an encounter with the Egyptian police. The lead role for the Salt Lake City-born actor is one of more than a hundred films and TV programs he did for Italian producers, including comedies, Westerns, and thrillers.

"What Is This Love," with vocalist Melody singing the theme song of Si può fare molto con sette donne, also appears on Franco De Gemini's The Man With The Harmonica CD. The English language version of the title song composed by Franco De Gemini and Stefano Torossi features an orchestra directed by Arthur Orlandy, with lyrics by Giuseppe Cassia. Franco De Gemini plays harmonica on the piece.

"Cos'e l'amore" is also used in Si può fare molto con sette donne and is included on the soundtrack released on LP in 1972 by Italy's Beat Records Company. The album was reissued in vinyl in Japan in 1993 and appeared in CD for the first time in 2012, issued by the same label responsible for the original LP. At this time, it doesn't appear that Marcella Michelangeli's "Cos'e l'amore" is available online.

Si può fare molto con sette donne is one of three films directed by Fabio Piccioni. He also served as an assistant director on several productions in addition to working as a second unit director for England's Richard Lester. Piccioni was at Italy's national public radio (RAI) from the mid-1970s through the late eighties. During this time he started working for Hollywood, a city he would later relocate to.
Footage from Piccioni's film is not easy to find. However, one fan made the following video which combines Moroccan psychedelia with a slowed down sequence from Si può fare molto con sette donne:

(19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator.
Rackham was born in Lewisham, then still part of Kent as one of 12 children. In 1884, at the age of 17, he was sent on an ocean voyage to Australia to improve his fragile health, accompanied by two aunts. At the age of 18, he worked as a clerk at the Westminster Fire Office and began studying part-time at the Lambeth School of Art.
By the turn of the century Rackham was regularly contributing illustrations to children's periodicals such as Little Folks and Cassell's Magazine. In 1903, he married Edyth Starkie, with whom he had one daughter, Barbara, in 1908. Although acknowledged as an accomplished book illustrator for some years, it was the publication of Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle by Heinemann in 1905 that particularly brought him into public attention, his reputation being confirmed the following year with J.M.Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, published by Hodder & Stoughton. Rackham won a gold medal at the Milan International Exhibition in 1906 and another one at the Barcelona International Exposition in 1912. His works were included in numerous exhibitions, including one at the Louvre in Paris in 1914.
Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which roughly encompassed the years from 1890 until the end of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts. Many of Rackham's books were produced in a de luxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. The onset of the war in 1914 curtailed the market for such quality books, and the public's taste for fantasy and fairies also declined in the 1920s.
Rackham's illustrations were chiefly based on robust pen and India ink drawings. Rackham gradually perfected his own uniquely expressive line from his background in journalistic illustration, paired with subtle use of watercolour, a technique which he was able to exploit due to technological developments in photographic reproduction. He would first lightly block in shapes and details of the drawing with a soft pencil, for the more elaborate colour plates often utilising one of a small selection of compositional devices. Over this he would then carefully work in lines of pen and India ink, removing the pencil traces after the drawing had begun to take form. For colour pictures, he would begin painting by building up multiple thin washes of watercolour creating translucent tints. One of the disadvantages of the 3-colour (later 4-colour) printing process in the early years was that definition could be lost in the final print, Rackham would sometimes compensate for this by over-inking his drawings once more after painting. He would also go on to expand the use of silhouette cuts in illustration work, particularly in the period after the First World War, as exemplified by his Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

Q: Extract and append unknown number of data.table columns under one new column name in R I have an R data.table created from splitting a string into paragraphs (using stringr) and then transposing, e.g. from something like:
paras = dat[,transpose(str_extract_all(longstring, myregex))][, index := .I]
where longstring is a multi-paragraph string and regex some regular expression used to split longstring into paragraphs (index is just a column I need for various joins later).
This creates a new data.table paras which has index and as many new columns (V1,V2,V3...) as there are paragraphs in the longest observation of longstring (in my case it goes to V5). Some observations of longstring have fewer paragraphs and then will have NA values in e.g. V5.
I want a new data.table which has only three columns: index, V, where V contains all of the non-NA V1, V2, V3... columns appended together, and Vsource which shows the "paragraph number".
This is easily done with:
newdat = rbind(
      paras[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V1, 1)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
      paras[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V2, 2)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
      paras[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V3, 3)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
      paras[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V4, 4)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
      paras[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V5, 5)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)]
      )

But the above is a really ugly way of doing this, and also requires me to hardcode the number of V variables. I would like a version which will work however many paragraphs are in longstring. I'm an R beginner and in my usual software (Stata) I could easily do this with a loop. But I can't get a loop to work for this problem in R, and anyway suspect there's some better vectorized way of doing, using something like lapply with .SD? But I'm still learning these methods.
PS: any good tutorials on using lapply, sapply, apply etc with data.table would be much appreciated.

A: I think this is just a melt. I'll demo with two simple sentences and split on " ", I think it should project on your real data.
library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(longstring=c("this is a long sentence", "not as long"))
myregex <- " "
paras <- DT[, transpose(strsplit(longstring, myregex))][, index := .I]
paras
#        V1     V2     V3     V4       V5 index
#    <char> <char> <char> <char>   <char> <int>
# 1:   this     is      a   long sentence     1
# 2:    not     as   long   <NA>     <NA>     2

yourdat <- rbind(
  copy(paras)[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V1, 1)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
  copy(paras)[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V2, 2)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
  copy(paras)[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V3, 3)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
  copy(paras)[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V4, 4)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)],
  copy(paras)[,c('V', 'Vsource') := .(V5, 5)][!is.na(V),.(V,index, Vsource)]
)
yourdat
#           V index Vsource
#      <char> <int>   <num>
# 1:     this     1       1
# 2:      not     2       1
# 3:       is     1       2
# 4:       as     2       2
# 5:        a     1       3
# 6:     long     2       3
# 7:     long     1       4
# 8: sentence     1       5

(Note that I used copy(paras) here ... without it, the original paras had V and Vsource columns appended, which would disrupt the melt operation below.)
And the melt:
melt(paras, "index", variable.name = "Vsource", value.name = "V", na.rm  =TRUE)
melted
#    index Vsource        V
#    <int>  <fctr>   <char>
# 1:     1      V1     this
# 2:     2      V1      not
# 3:     1      V2       is
# 4:     2      V2       as
# 5:     1      V3        a
# 6:     2      V3     long
# 7:     1      V4     long
# 8:     1      V5 sentence

You just need to string-ify and remove the leading "V" to get the same actual values.
melted[, Vsource := as.integer(sub("^V", "", as.character(Vsource)))]
melted
#    index Vsource        V
#    <int>   <int>   <char>
# 1:     1       1     this
# 2:     2       1      not
# 3:     1       2       is
# 4:     2       2       as
# 5:     1       3        a
# 6:     2       3     long
# 7:     1       4     long
# 8:     1       5 sentence

(Assuming you really need an integer.)

La marcha del orgullo gay de Moscú (, Moskovski Gei-Parad) es una manifestación de lesbianas, gays, bisexuales, transgénero y sus simpatizantes. El acontecimiento debía realizarse anualmente en mayo desde 2006 en la capital rusa, Moscú, pero ha sido prohibido por el ayuntamiento de la ciudad en todas las ocasiones.

2006

La manifestación debía realizarse el 27 de mayo de 2006 y debía transcurrir desde la oficina principal de correos de Moscú, pasando por la calle Myasniskaya, hasta la plaza Lubyanka. La fecha quería recordar la legalización de la homosexualidad en Rusia, el 27 de mayo de 1993. El organizador era el cineasta y jefe del grupo activista LGBT Projekt GayRussia, Nikolái Alexéyev. Para la organización, Alexéyev trabajó con el comité IDAHO, organizador del Día Internacional contra la Homofobia y la Transfobia, con sede en París.

Las solicitudes de permiso para la realización fueron entregados en el ayuntamiento de Moscú y al presidente de Rusia Vladímir Putin. El alcalde de Moscú, Yuri Luzhkov rechazó la solicitud, decisión que fue confirmada posteriormente por un tribunal moscovita. En un encuentro de alcaldes en Berlín en febrero de 2006 manifestó que la homosexualidad «no es natural». Más tarde declaró que «si se realizase una marcha gay en Moscú, los y las participantes estarían en gran peligro, porque podrían resultar heridos bajo el ambiente negativo de Moscú.» Líderes religiosos ortodoxos, el gran muftí Talgat Tadzhuddin y el rabino Berl Lazar se unieron a las voces condenatorias.

A pesar de todo, el día de la marcha prohibida un pequeño grupo de activistas LGBT se reunieron al aire libre y la milicia de Moscú actuó violentamente contra ellos. Entre otros, fueron agredidos el parlamentario alemán Volker Beck de Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen y el activista por los Derechos Humanos británico Peter Tatchell, que quería denunciar la violación de Rusia de la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos, firmada por el país.

2007
La segunda manifestación debía realizarse el 27 de mayo de 2007, organizada por Nikolái Alexéyev. El acontecimiento fue prohibido de nuevo por el ayuntamiento de Moscú. El alcalde de la ciudad, Luzhkov, en enero de 2007, llamó a la manifestación «acto satánico». El presidente Putin declaró, refiriéndose a la marcha gay de 2007, que la homosexualidad contribuye al «problema demográfico» ruso.

El dúo ruso t.A.T.u. y el grupo británico Right Said Fred habían anunciado su presencia en apoyo de la marcha. 40 europarlamentarios firmaron una resolución de protesta. Cuando los diputados europeos Sophie in 't Veld, Vladimir Luxuria, Marco Cappato y Volker Beck, además de los miembros de T.A.T.u. y Right Said Fred, junto con otros 100 activistas LGBT, trataron de entregar la resolución en el ayuntamiento de Moscú, fueron rechazados por un importante despliegue de la milicia de Moscú y el OMON, a la vez que eran bombardeados con huevos y tomates por [[nacionalismo ruso
|nacionalistas rusos]] y creyentes religiosos. Los participantes rusos fueron detenidos por la fiscalía de Moscú por resistencia a la autoridad y violación de código de circulación.

2008
A comienzos de 2008 el alcalde de Moscú comentó que la marcha del orgullo gay era un «arma de destrucción masiva».

Para 2008, la marcha fue prevista para el 31 de marzo según los organizadores de los años anteriores. Los organizadores invitaron este año a los alcaldes de París, Berlín y Londres, dos de los cuales son homosexuales. La marcha del orgullo de 2008 se prohibió en abril de ese mismo año por Luzhkov, todavía alcalde de Moscú.

2009

Teniendo en cuenta la historia negando la autorización para realizar la marcha, los organizadores anunciaron que la realizarían a pesar de la prohibición. La marcha fue finalmente prohibida por las autoridades de Moscú. Nikolai Alexeyev respondió diciendo que la marcha es un riesgo que hay que tomar, «de otra forma los homófobos y autoritarios ganarán». La respuesta oficial fue que los manifestantes serían tratados con dureza. Los participantes de los Países Bajos en la Eurovisión, De Toppers, afirmaron que no cantarían si pasaban la semifinal y la manifestación era reprimida violentamente. El grupo finalmente no pasó de la semifinal.

La marcha ha sido renombrada como «Orgullo Gay Eslavo», para tratar de promover los derechos y la cultura LGBT en todos los países eslavos de Europa. En la manifestación misma y la preparación participaron más de sesenta activistas de toda Rusia y una delegación de 15 personas de Bielorrusia. Fue planeada como una operación secreta, ya que los activistas estaban siendo vigilados y estaba claro que las autoridades intentarían impedir el acto antes de que se produjera. Alexéyev se escondió unos días antes para no ser detenido. Todos los participantes se arriesgaban a ser golpeados, encarcelados, perder su trabajo e incluso expulsados de sus viviendas.

La marcha de 2009 se realizó el 16 de mayo de 2009, el mismo día de la final del Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión 2009 que se celebró en Moscú, y la víspera del Día internacional contra la homofobia, participando unos sesenta activistas. Fue violentamente reprimida por la policía antidisturbios y más de 80 personas fueron detenidos, incluyendo a Nikolái Alexéyev y Nikolái Bayev, dos de los organizadores, y el activista británico Peter Tatchell.

2010
La marcha prevista para el 29 de mayo de 2010 fue nuevamente prohibida por el alcalde de Moscú, Yuri Luzhkov. El grupo Gayrussia apeló la decisión ante los tribunales, pero sin éxito. Ante esa nueva desautorización, los grupos LGTB rusos analizaban la posibilidad de manifestarse en embajadas extranjeras que les prestaran su apoyo, tal como ocurrió en Vilna y Bucarest en 2010. Alekséyev declaró, «Nos dirigimos a los embajadores de los estados de la UE y los embajadores de Canadá, EE.UU. y Australia en Moscú, con una petición para realizar un acto público en el territorio de la embajada».

Se realizó una rueda de prensa el 27 de mayo, en la que hablaron Nikolai Alekseev, Nikolai Baev, Volker Beck (del partido verde de Alemania), Peter Tatchell, Louis-Georges Tin (presidente del comité IDAHO), Maria Efremenkova (directora del comité organizador de la marcha del orgullo gay de San Petersburgo) y Andy Thayer (Gay Liberation Network Chicago).

2011
Por sexto año consecutivo y a pesar de la condena del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, el ayuntamiento de Moscú denegó el permiso para la realización de la marcha. El ayuntamiento se escudó en la protección de los niños para no cumplir la sentencia, afirmando que la marcha «podría afectar a la salud psicológica e infligir un daño moral a los niños y adolescentes que se convirtieran en espectadores involuntarios del evento». En cambio, una semana antes de la marcha, el ayuntamiento ha permitido una manifestación antigay en el mismo lugar en el que se había previsto la marcha del Orgullo. La Unión de Paracaidistas de Rusia, en palabras de su presidente, Pablo Popovskikh, ha garantizado que usará todos los medios disponibles, incluyendo la violencia, para impedir la realización de la marcha. Grupos homófobos y nacionalistas organizaron una contramanifestación el mismo día de la manifestación del orgullo, contra «pedófilos y sodomitas», amenazando a los participantes del Orgullo de muerte.

Los activistas LGBT rusos decidieron manifestarse el 28 de mayo a pesar de las dificultades y la fuerte oposición. Se intentaron realizar manifestaciones en tres lugares de la capital rusa: los jardines de Alejandro, la Plaza del Manège y en la calle Tverskaya, cerca del Ayuntamiento de Moscú. Los activistas fueron atacados por grupos de neonazis y extremistas ortodoxos, momento en que intervino la policía. 18 activistas LGBT fueron detenidos, 15 de ellos rusos, y tres extranjeros, Andy Thayer, Dan Choi y Louis-George Tin. Peter Tatchell, que se manifestaba cerca del Ayuntamiento, tuvo que huir al verse superado por grupos neonazis y no fue detenido; Alekséyev no pudo participar, ya que se había dañado la pierna al salir de un programa de televisión en Moscú el jueves anterior; Nikolai Baev, el otro organizador de la marcha, tampoco fue detenido. La policía también detuvo a 14 manifestantes antigais. Tatchell afirma en su relato de los acontecimientos que las autoridades no protegieron en ningún momento a los activistas LGBT y que de hecho parecían confraternizar con los neonazis y ultranacionalistas.

Prohibición 2012-2112
El 23 de agosto de 2011, Alekséyev aprovechó un vacío legal por el que no se establecía un plazo máximo para convocar acciones multitudinarias en Moscú y solicitó permiso para organizar 102 marchas del Orgullo entre 2012 y 2112.

Tras analizar la solicitud, las autoridades de Moscú denegaron el permiso, alegando posibles altercados, y que la mayoría de la población estaba en contra de este tipo de marchas.

El 19 de enero de 2012, el tribunal del distrito de Tverskói declaró legal esta decisión, que fue declarada efectiva el 6 de junio. Los organizadores interpusieron un recurso ante el tribunal municipal de Moscú, pero el 16 de agosto se les denegó.

George Giffen, born in Adelaide on March 27, 1859, died in a private hospital at his native place, after a long illness, on November 29, aged 68, thus surviving his old comrade, J. J. Lyons, a few months only. As a batsman Giffen possessed a wonderfully fine defence. He stooped a little but had a great variety of strokes with great freedom in his use of the bat, and was exceptionally strong in driving. He bowled right-hand, rather below medium-pace, with considerable spin and well-concealed change of flight and pace. He used to send down with much effect a slow ball, very high-tossed, which, seeming to be coming well up to the batsman, pitched short, and resulted in many a caught and bowled. It was expected that Giffen would have charge of the Australian team which toured England in 1886, but his merits as a leader were not commensurate with his merits as a player. Giffen first visited England in 1882 as a member of the team which beat England at the Oval by 7 runs. As the side included Spofforth, Boyle, Garrett, and Palmer--four of the finest bowlers of the time-- Giffen was overshadowed, and while they averaged l50 wickets at a cost of less than 13 runs each, he had to be content with taking thirty-two wickets for 22 runs each. Still, he had a brilliant success against the Gentlemen of England at the Oval, where he took eleven wickets for less than 10 runs each--eight in the first innings for 49 runs--and contributed largely to a memorable triumph. Nor had his batting powers at that period fully developed, but his record of 873 runs with an average of 18 was a vastly bigger thing than it would be regarded on the easy wickets of to-day. He showed a marked advance in 1884, and two years later, headed both batting and bowling averages, scoring 1,454 runs, for an average of 25, and taking 162 wickets for 16 runs each. Giffen declined invitation to join the Australian teams of 1888 and 1890, but was a member of the side captained by Blackham in 1893, and also of that led by Harry Trott in 1896. In these years, however, though he came out with a fair record for the whole of each tour, he accomplished little in the representative games. Giffen, indeed, in England scarcely reproduced his Australian form, which was of so high a class that he used to be referred to as the W. G. Grace of Australia. As a member of the five teams mentioned he visited the United States three times, New Zealand twice, and Canada once, besides taking part in two small games in Ceylon.

He trained specially for the last mentioned game, being then within a week or two of completing his forty-fourth year. Most remarkable of all, perhaps, was his all-round performance in scoring 161 out of a total of 586, and 41 in a total of 166 for Australia v. Stoddart's team at Sydney in December, 1894, as in that match he also took eight wickets, and yet was on the losing side. The bowling of Peel and Briggs on a ruined pitch won the match for England by 10 runs. In the winter of 1883, at Sydney, for the fourth Australian team against the Rest of Australia, Giffen took all ten wickets in an innings for 66 runs. He had his greatest success as a bowler in England during the season of 1886, when sixteen Derbyshire wickets fell to him for 101 runs, and in five consecutive innings he dismissed forty batsmen at a cost of 222 runs. He did the hat trick three times--for South Australia, against G. F. Vernon's team, at Adelaide, in 1887-88 against Lancashire, at Manchester, in 1884; and against an England eleven, at Wembley Park, in 1896. Altogether in first-class matches, Giffen scored 12,501 runs, at an average of 29, and took 1,109 wickets, at a cost of 21 runs each. In matches between Australia and England he made 1,238 runs, and took 103 wickets, In 1922-3 the match at Adelaide between South Australia and Victoria was played for his benefit, and the resulting sum, £2,020, was vested in trustees. After being a Civil Servant in the General Post Office at Adelaide for 43 years, he retired on pension in March, 1925, thereafter finding the chief delight of his life, whilst health permitted, in coaching young boys in a purely honorary capacity.


I always love to see what eclectic mixes people can come up with in their bracelet stacks. This gal did not disappoint, and I think we spent at least 10 minutes talking about where all her various bracelets came from.
From the pearls by Erica Molinari, to the large bracelet by Diane Cotton, it was a cool mix. The antler cuff is from Grange Hall in Texas — apparently a store that I must add to my "must see" list!
This inspires me. Tomorrow I will be heading to my jewelry box and creating a brand new stack for the day!!
Very interesting! On another note – I would love to see your jewelry box – I'll bet it's fabulous!

Irritability is the excitatory ability that living organisms have to respond to changes in their environment. The term is used for both the physiological reaction to stimuli and for the pathological, abnormal or excessive sensitivity to stimuli. It is usually used to refer to anger or frustration. In individuals with autism disorder for example, they tend to be marked by aggression patterns.
Irritability can be a growing response to the objective stimuli of hunger or thirst in animals or humans which then reaches some level of awareness of that need. Irritability may be demonstrated in behavioral responses to both physiological and behavioral stimuli including environmental, situational, sociological, and emotional stimuli.
Irritability is the state of feeling aggravated, frustrated, or being prone to simple anger. This type of state is commonly found when in stressful or pressured situations. These states can coincide with social lives and daily routines, making it more difficult to maintain. It is considered for someone to be "irritable" when they have a short temper and immediately becomes frustrated in their situation. Not knowing how to stay calm in the situation can show the state of being irritable. This signifies that something is not right and needs to be brought to attention. It is important to know how to handle and where to seek help when feeling heavy irritation. Irritability is considered an emotion and can affect the mood in a negative way.
Irritability is commonly developed from anxiety disorders. The fight or flight responses triggered in the brain can make irritability easily developed and result in severe grouchiness and aggravation towards other people. Stress hormones take over and lead to attitudes of negative reactions. Feelings of fatigue and difficulty of concentrating plays a part of this type of mood.
Close irritability can be classified as either physical or emotionally close. Having a physically close irritability can be due to individuals being too close for your comfort. This may lead to a state of panic because you may not have enough space for yourself and feel pressured of other taking over your personal space. Having an emotionally close irritability means you may regret or wished to have worded things in a different way when having a conversation with someone that you strongly care for. It causes emotion because you may think that the other person may dislike you or not care for you anymore. It is the feeling of thinking that you have a loss and can't seem to find the right way to rebuild it.
Causes of Irritability are classified as either physical or psychological. Physical causes can be things such as having a lack of sleep, low blood sugar, or any negative health results. Physiological causes include depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorders. Other potential causes may be from the use of drugs, alcohol, or any side medications.
The first step of resolving irritation from your life is to evaluate where it comes from and what mainly caused it. Finding the answer to questions such as where you find yourself the most calm, what makes you uncomfortable, or things that cause you worries, can help find the solution to heal the irritability.
How to resolve irritability is by addressing the problem and communicating to a therapist (or a significant individual in your life) and explain the situation that they may be in. Evaluating on the problem is recommended instead of hiding it in and ignoring it before it builds up and gets worse. Addressing issues is important so that others can help support the one that is under stress. Never ignore the situation and make sure to reach a therapeutic individual to assist.
In order to calm our minds and frustration down, there are a few ways in which we can maintain the stress that has taken over. Taking time to sit in silence can help clear our minds and not think about things that would stress us out more. Taking a short walk to gain more perspective in life and enjoy the nature of outdoors. Being able to appreciate the small things we may take for granted every day. Offering help to others and be more sympathetic can change our emotions to positive feelings. Reducing caffeine intake so that our body can fully rest during the night and so no addiction is developed. Substituting caffeinated or sugary drinks for water and tea; Making sure to control cravings and eating in moderation.

ASK TONY: EDF Energy stopped my paper bills - then said I owed £2,161
By Tony Hazell for the Daily Mail
Published: 19:43 EST, 25 September 2012 | Updated: 06:11 EST, 26 September 2012
My elderly father has had a demand from energy supplier EDF for £2,161. He normally has his meter read quarterly and pays when he receives his bill. He's not received one since April 2011, which I paid for him online. The meter has not been read, either.
This demand does not show any details of what he has used and, more importantly, what rates have been applied. The tariff has been increased many times over the past 18 months. EDF states that this is a second demand, but he says he has received only one letter. C.B., Birkenhead.
Tony Hazell, from Money Mail, replies: I don't believe EDF has behaved at all well in this case. Indeed, the more I pushed, the more details emerged from the murk. Initially, I was left with the impression that you had chosen to move your father's billing online and that some of the fault for this large bill therefore lay with you. But this was far from the case.
Wrong bill: This problem was entirely created by EDF
As you say, your father's meter was usually read quarterly, he paid on receipt of the bill and the last payment made was in April 2011.
Then EDF arbitrarily switched to reading his meter every six months and removed him from paper billing, choosing instead to email bills to you because they held your email address on the account. It says it sent a pack to all customers explaining this.
Our energy bill leapt from £115 to £600 a month after we installed a meter
Is this the future of energy bills? New EDF iPhone app lets you take a photo of your meter reading to update it
Cut your bills: Find the cheapest energy supplier
But no doubt your father failed to realise the implications. And you might well have treated its emails as junk. When I intervened, EDF contacted your father and offered to write off £314.99 of the bill and set up a payment plan of £100 a week.
I felt this did not go far enough. This problem was entirely created by EDF and there are strict back-billing rules, which I suspected EDF had ignored.
These rules mean the supplier cannot charge for more than a year's unpaid energy so long as the customer had fulfilled their obligations, such as allowing access to the meter.
EDF re-examined the case and admitted it should have reduced the bill by £663.11 — a difference of £348.12. EDF admits shortfalls in its service and has offered another £200 as a goodwill gesture. So the bill will be reduced by £863.11 in total. This, I feel, is finally a fair solution.
EDF has also agreed to read your father's meter quarterly from now on.
One other thing: your father is on the standard tariff, so you really should move him to a cheaper one. Get together details of his bills and go to which.co.uk/switch or uswitch.co.uk (or call 0800 051 5493) where you can search for the cheapest option.
If he pays by monthly direct debit and you handle the account on the internet, you could save him a lot of money.
I switched my Isa to a new fixed-rate account in April and at the same time added £3,323 — the most I had available. I now have the remaining £2,317 of the £5,640 annual Isa allowance available. Can I invest in another Isa? W.W., Leigh.
No, not unless the fixed-rate Isa allows top-ups — and most don't. Savers can put money in only one cash Isa each year. You will not be able to open another until April 6, 2013.
I received a letter from the International Fifa World Cup Online Lottery telling me I have won £900,000 tax-free. It asks me to fill in a form with my bank details to claim. What should I do? J.J., Denbighshire.
Put it in the recycling. There is no such lottery and you have not won a prize. This is a scam run by conmen who want your bank details to commit fraud.
For the past few months, I have been seeing a financial adviser at my local Nationwide branch. Can you tell me if I have to pay for this service? J.M.P., Maidstone.
If you accept the advice and purchase a product — whether it's an investment, pension, annuity or protection policy — Nationwide takes a commission payment. This comes out of your investment.
My index-linked savings certificates mature tomorrow. Is the final value based on the Retail Prices Index for August announced in September? C.Y., by email.
No. it will be based on the value of the RPI two months ahead of maturity. For maturities for any date in September, the July figure applies. This was announced on August 14 and the index stood at 242.1. Values of certificates maturing in October will be based on the August RPI figure of 243 announced on September 18.
I've won £2,500 in a work competition for some research that helped the firm win new business. Do I have to pay tax on it? H.L., Newcastle.
Yes. Any extra cash or bonus received as a result of efforts in the workplace — and specifically one designed to help your business do well — must be taxed, says Patricia Mock, of accountants Deloitte. However, if you'd won it in an outside competition in a personal capacity, you'd be able to keep it all.

Official advice to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy is overly cautious and sexist, academics claim.
Mothers-to-be seen drinking in public face hostility when there is little solid evidence that light or moderate drinking causes significant damage.
While consistent heavy drinking during pregnancy can lead to foetal alcohol syndrome, public policy towards pregnant women has "gone down an overtly precautionary route", according to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) and Ellie Lee, director of the centre of parenting culture studies at the University of Kent.
Last January Professor Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer, issued guidelines warning that women should stop drinking from the moment they found out they were pregnant. The advice was backed by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The guidance also recommends that "the safest approach" for a woman who planned to become pregnant was to stop drinking.
Last year almost half of pregnant women said that they continued to drink alcohol despite the guidelines, with about 40 per cent saying they had researched the issue and decided that it was safe to drink.
Last month a study into European women's drinking habits suggested that those who drank while pregnant were likely to be older, better educated and employed. Five per cent of Italian women, and 4 per cent in Britain, admitted drinking alcohol at least once or twice a week during pregnancy, compared with 0.1 per cent in Sweden.
BPAS and members of the University of Kent will debate the guidelines at a conference at Canterbury Christ Church University today. BPAS wants the advice to be updated, fearing that it risks scaring women into aborting pregnancies because they have drunk alcohol.
A spokeswoman for the Royal College of Midwives said that it was "best to avoid alcohol" while pregnant.

Playing PC Games Is A Great Way To Enjoy Video Games
Posted on October 1, 2021 by adminear
A PC game, more commonly known as a PC game, is typically a downloadable version of an online computer game, which means that it can be played from any internet connected computer. It can be played on a regular PC or laptop, and it can also be played online (offline modes). This article will detail the main differences between online computer games (PCs) and games which are played over the internet.
Games that can be downloaded to a PC include several different genres of games. Action, strategy, and role-playing games are all available to download. These are best played with an internet connection since the downloads are not stored on the user's computer. However, there are also some games which can be played using a LAN card. LAN cards are another technology that is commonly used to connect several computers to a common router.
Some PC games can be downloaded free of charge while many others may have to be bought. There are many online stores which offer free games as well as paid games for purchase. In some cases, paid games may need to be purchased before the player can start playing. If the game developer wants a specific feature in the game to be included but is unable to make it possible, they often have no other choice but to charge for the feature.
Online games can be played by single players or multi-player. The multi-player versions of games tend to be more complicated, requiring various levels of players to play against each other in order to win. However, single player games are usually more simple and can be enjoyed by anyone. A person can usually only try out a single game at a time before they have to commit to it by paying the monthly fee. It is very rare to find someone who plays a free game and then decides they really want to get into it.
PC games can be installed onto a computer through CD-ROMs or through the use of a DVD-ROM drive. Some video games require a special software to be installed before they can be run. CD-ROMs and DVDs offer excellent options for getting games since they come with the entire game already installed, making them much easier to use than video game consoles. Games can also be rented from online websites. Once the player has rented a game they can play it whenever they want.
While games PC can be found in most stores now, there are many online websites that specialize in offering new games constantly. These sites have a very large selection of games that can be played for free. There is no need to download anything on the Internet to play most games. It is recommended that if a person wants to play some games on their computer they should look for a website that charges a one-time nominal fee to play games. Most websites will offer games which are not available in stores. This makes PC gaming the new wave of gaming.

Shot on Gold (Play-by-Play Series #14)
by Jaci BurtonJaci Burton
$14.40 $16.00 Save 10% Current price is $14.4, Original price is $16. You Save 10%.
In the new Play-by-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Score, opposites attract when a figure skater and hockey player lace up their skates--and go for the gold...
Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is making his second trip to the Winter Games, and he couldn't be happier. Hockey is his life and playing for the U.S. team is a privilege. Then he meets U.S. figure skater Amber Sloane. She's beautiful, ambitious and driven--everything Will desires in a woman. He would love to show Amber how hot life off the ice can be.
Amber has skated her entire life, sacrificing everything in the hopes of one day winning gold. Now she's competing for the third and final time. She intends to win, and nothing's going to get in her way--until she meets Will. He's an irresistible charmer, and before long Amber is wondering if this sexy hockey player is the perfect guy to show her some moves outside the rink.
But after all the medals have been awarded, Will and Amber will have to decide if what they have together is just a fling or a real shot at true love.
Play-by-Play Series , #14
Jaci Burton is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance novelist. In addition to writing the Play-by-Play, Hope, and Wild Riders series, she has also coauthored a number of anthologies with fellow romance writer Lora Leigh. Burton lives in Oklahoma with her husband and dogs.
Excerpted from "Shot on Gold"
Copyright © 2018 Jaci Burton.
Excerpted by permission of Penguin Publishing Group.
In her signature sizzling style, Burton masterfully captures hearts in this perfectly paced Winter Olympics contemporary, the 14th in her Play-by-Play series (after The Final Score). Sheltered, driven figure skater Amber Sloane is back at the Winter Games for her third—and last—shot at Olympic gold. She's won bronze and silver, but that top honor has eluded her. Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is a charismatic, hard-partying professional hockey player, also focused on winning gold but dedicated to having fun along the way. When Amber's roommate introduces them, their chemistry is explosive and immediate. Amber's never dipped her toe into the world of physical pleasure, but with Will, she jumps in immediately and embraces it. However, this intense romance may derail both athletes' efforts to attain their ultimate goal. Potent sex scenes—including a red-hot interlude on Olympic ice—abound. Burton's careful crafting of complex characters enhance this irresistible, heartfelt treat. (Feb.)

This is book #14, in the Play By Play series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and complete understanding of this incredible series, I recommend reading it in order. Will AKA "Mad Dog" meets up with Amber through a mutual friend. They have a lot in common. Sports, competitive drive, attraction, and more. When the sparks between them start flying, it is hard to fight the instincts. Amber has one goal - get that gold. She has been sheltered, and does not fully understand what she is up against. She only knows she wants to live. Finally live! Will brings that out in her more than most. Such a sexy book with banter and heat right from the start. Perfect addition to this already very hot, erotic series. The characters make it exciting, and the story is very compelling. I could hardly put it down.

I really enjoyed my time reading Shot on Gold. Amber is attending her last year at the Olympics. She's preformed in the previous two Olympics, but has yet to walk away with a gold medal. This year she intends to not only win the gold, but she also plans to let loose, as well. She's lived a very sheltered life that consisted of figure skating, and figure skating alone. No friends. No boyfriends. No fun. However, since this will be her last year, she plans to soak it all in. Which is how she finds herself not only making a bunch of new friends, but also falling in love with a certain hockey player. I absolutely loved that Amber was not only an introvert who liked to read, but she was a knitter, too. Knitters for the win! This isn't Will's first time at the Olympics either. He knows how it all goes down. There are lots of laughs, lots of parties, and lots of condoms getting used. This year he plans to cool it on the partying and hooking up, and take everything in. He wants to remember his time at the winter Olympics instead of it being one big blur. However, when he's introduced to Amber, there's just something about her that calls to him. I loved these two characters together. Will is immediately drawn to Amber. He can tell that she's extremely shy, out of her element around others, and seems really innocent. He immediately takes a protective stance over her, and seems to take it upon himself to keep her safe and show her a good time. I loved that Will wasn't some huge skirt chasing player or overly aggressive when it came to Amber. So imagine my surprise when sweet innocent Amber turned out to be the aggressor behind closed doors. Good lord, when that girl got her mind on something, she went for it. Which made for some pretty fun and very steamy scenes. I loved that the author didn't just write about these two as if they were just randomly meeting in an everyday situation. There's a lot of talk about the games. We are there when the characters practice and compete. We're there when they go to cheer on their friends. We also go with them as they go to various places inside the village as well as out in town. I really liked that the author incorporated so much outside information when it came to this story. I felt like I was getting some inside scoop on what's happening right now at the winter Olympics. I really enjoyed my time reading Shot on Gold. These two were adorable together. I loved watching them build a friendship while competing in the Olympics. As with anything from the Play by Play series, expect some insane bedroom scenes. These two know how to heat up the sheets when they are not out on the ice. However, I loved that feel good vibe this story had. An introvert who makes friends, falls in love, and competes in her final Olympic games? It doesn't get better than that.
Truly enjoy Jaci Burton's series. This was a great read!

Shot on Gold is a book centered around the Winter Olympics and I have to admit it is up there with my favorites in this series. Will is back for his second attempt at Gold with Team USA and although he wants to have fun he is determined to enjoy more than just the party scene this time on his way to helping his team achieve ultimate goal of winning the gold. Amber has always dreamed of winning the gold, but pressure from outside stress takes some of the fun out of this journey. She decides to just try to enjoy herself and experience life a little while she is at the games and hopefully that will help her achieve her ultimate dream. I love Will and Amber together they have a great relationship even if it is on super-speed, but sometimes love just happens.

Exhilarating, unique take on a sports romance. Jaci Burton has delivered another enticing novel in her Play by Play series with Shot on Gold, a romance rotating around the Winter Olympics. Jaci did her due diligence in her research on not just her knowledge regarding one sport but multiple sports. As a fan of ice skating, I really enjoyed Will and Amber's romance. Two veterans return to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver to seek out Gold medals. Amber, 24 is on her third ice skating tour and Will on his second hockey tour. Both are complete opposites in every way but they click. Encouraging each other through friendly banter, sporting praises and eventually lustful/loveable intimacy. "Besides, you haven't even seen my long program yet. Now that's packed with some sizzle." He leveled her with the wicked desire in his gaze. "Babe, you haven't seen my long program yet, either. Trust me, I'm packing some heat, too" Jaci has created charming characters all around. Amber is trying to prove to her family that all her hard work and sequestered dedication can pay off once she has her hands on the gold but deep down she yearns to have fun like everyone her age. Will sees a light inside her and wants to let her light shine bright to her fullest, but he might ruffel her feathers a little to get her to achieve her goals. So much passion between these two. You see the desire slowly build within the pages and Jaci showcases their lust beautifully. I really enjoyed this story. I loved that it showcased more than just the two sports, but also skiing and snowboarding. Also, it had the 'behind the scenes' aspect which I really appreciated. Shot on Gold is inspiring and has hidden meanings for oneself. Releases in time for this years Winter Olympics. For sure, I won't look at the Olympics the same again. 5 Olympic Gold Rings

Knowing this maybe his last trip to the Olympics Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is determined to bring home gold, he plans on staying focused and keeping all distractions out, but then an unexpected, and oh so beautiful distraction skates into his life and changes everything. He wasn't planning on meeting a woman like Amber Sloane, but fate brought them together, and now he is determined to not let her get away once their time at the Olympics is over. At her age coming to the Olympics is not only a brave, but also a privilege most skaters aren't lucky enough to have, it's a privilege she is determined to make the most of and not take for granted, she wants gold and she isn't about to let anything get in the way of achieving it. But then a devastatingly handsome hockey player wanders into her world, and her focus starts to stray... and suddenly a gold medal isn't the only thing on her radar at the Olympics! Between the pages of Shot On Gold readers will discover a scintillating story full of toe curling romance, drama, and emotion that will hit you deep and leave you moved! I thoroughly enjoyed this new addition to the Play by Play series, it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more, the emotional depth in this one could be felt throughout and the well crafted characters had a very realistic feel to them, and they made me feel right at home in their world. The intense chemistry shared between the characters kept the fire stoked and continually kept things nice and steamy throughout, they had me blushing more than a few times! I highly recommend you give this one a try, especially if you are a sports romance fanatic like me, it's heavy on the sports and loaded with heart!!

I really enjoyed this new entry in the Play-by-Play series. I loved the setting of the Winter "International Games", and getting to know some fun, new characters. Will Madigan is a professional hockey player, and now he's playing for Team USA at the International Games in Canada. It's his second trip to the games, and he's back to get the gold medal this time. He loves hockey, and the thrill of the competition is in his blood. He's from Chicago originally, and his family runs a bar there, so they aren't able to be at the games to watch him. But, many of his teammates are there too, and some friends he made from other sports at the last games as well. He plans to have a great time, play tough, and go home with the gold medal. He never expects to meet someone like Amber. Amber Sloane is a figure skater. She's 24 now, and this will be her third, and final games. She's won bronze, and silver, and she wants that gold medal. She's always been a loner, and an extreme introvert, mostly due to her mother's influence as her manager. Her mother has always convinced her that making friends with her competitors would cause her to lose her edge. But, in the athlete's village she's on her own, and this time around she's decided to make different choices. She's roommates again with her friend and roommate from the last games, Lisa, a Canadian snowboarder, and Amber is determined to make more friends this time. When she meets Will, she decides maybe she wants to get to know him even better than she had planned. Will and Amber have great chemistry from the beginning, and I loved their fun banter. They had a lot in common, and they both understood the drive to win, and be the best in their sport, and how much work that takes. I liked the way they related to each other, even though their sports are quite different. I love how they supported each other, and pulled for each other, along with their friends in other sports as well. It was lovely to see Amber coming out of her shell and being comfortable in her skin alone, as well as with Will, and with their friends. I also enjoyed a little more in depth look at each of their sports than you often get in a typical sports romance. My only issue here had to do with Amber's controlling mother, and Amber's reaction to her mother's edicts. Amber finally learned how to, and decided to, stand up for herself, rather than towing her mother's line as she's done every time before. But, I wish there had been a little more about the issues between them, and the resolution of those issues. It all seemed a little too easy to me in the end, especially after SO MANY years of this constant behavior by her mom. Also, as a devoted epilogue lover, I really feel this story could have benefited from one. I always feel like when the couple resolves their issues so close to the end of the story, and you don't get much more time seeing them happy together, then an epilogue is in order. Overall I really enjoyed this book, especially the setting of the Winter Games. It made everything feel current and exciting, as the actual Winter Olympics are about to start very soon. I highly recommend this book, and this entire amazing series, to anyone who's a fan of great sports romance. I'm excited to see which sport, and character, will have their story told next!

What a great book to read RIGHT NOW! I had such a blast reading this book while watching the Olympic's on TV and imagining such things happening there. The characters hook you quickly and the story line is sweet, sassy and competitive! Hockey extraordinaire Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is extremely proud to represent the US in the Vancouver Winter Games and plans to have the time of his life while he's there. He's a friendly guy and the life of the party so it's not a surprise that everyone wants to party with Will! Figure skater Amber Sloane is back for her final attempt at bringing home the gold. She's decided to make this third trip to the Games her very best, and meeting Will early on puts her on the right track. Their attraction to each other proves to be a bit of a distraction, but their early devotion to supporting each other's journey helps keep them focused on what they're really there for!

Shot on Gold by Jaci Burton has just the right amount of sweet and sex going on. This book can be read stand alone. Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is an outgoing hail well met fellow except for on the ice. As a hockey player he is focused and determined. U.S. figure skater Amber Sloane is determined to get the gold. She knows this will be her last shot. She is shy having been kept apart by her micro managing mother. Hell at 24 she is still a technical virgin. She is going to change that and she thinks Will is the right man for the job. Set among the Olympics these two get together and may get more out of it than just a medal. I really enjoyed this book. You don't have to be a sports fanatic to enjoy but when you are done you may want to check out your local team.

Shot on Gold is an Olympic hopeful story. But it's also a hockey player and a figure skater...sigh. I love the brawny, tough guy and the statuesque woman. The rough and tumble of a hockey player in contrast to the grace and elegance of a figure skater is just so visually appealing...in my head at least. Add some great new friends, some great games, and adrenaline, it will keep you smiling. From greeting to goodbye, Shot on Gold is sweet with plenty of sultry, a side of naughty, and a whole lot of confidence.
I've read all of Ms Button's Play-by-play novels. I've never have been disappointed. Shot on Gold is excellent. I felt like I was at the Olympics. She never disappoints! This was over the top.

Q: Sorting by date on dataTables makes problems I have a list view, which should be sorted by date (d-m-y)
The query I run on phpmyadmin processess my data in the right way, sorting my datas in the right way. (If i dump my array, the data is correctly sorted)
When I run my twig page, this sorting doesn't exist anymore: it orders my data in a casual way. I can't understand why. Is that possible that my datatable makes problems? How can i deal with that?
This is my table body:

    {% for riga in data.dati %}

    {{ riga['order_date']|date('Y-m-d') }}
    -----some others things here------

    {% endfor %}

And this is my js code:

    $(function() {

     $('#tableOrdini').DataTable({
        'info': false,
        'searching': false,
        'language': {
        'url': '{{ asset('myurl') }}',
        },
        'pageLength': 50,
        'scrollY': 600,
        'lengthChange': false,
        'order': [[1, 'desc']],
        columnDefs:[
        {type: 'date-eu', targets:1}
        ]
        });
    });

Thank you for dedicate your time to me and for helping me !
ps: this is my view

A: i think you can change this
'order': [[1, 'desc']],
to order with date('Y-m-d') or a order_date

Wealth Enhancement Group Buys $1.3B Firm
Planning Solutions Group is based on the East Coast and has 15 advisors.
By Janet Levaux | June 17, 2019 at 02:07 PM

Wealth Enhancement Group is acquiring Planning Solutions Group — a move that should add 15 advisors and $1.3 billion to its asset base, which now totals about $11.3 billion.
Minneapolis-based WEG says the deal will give it a base in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C., area. The purchase is its twelfth since late 2013. Earlier this year, the firm acquired Summit Planning Group of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Wiley Group of West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
"At Wealth Enhancement Group, we are trying to build substantial operational scale, both nationally and in each market we serve. The addition of a business such as Planning Solutions Group helps us immensely along the way to that goal," according to WEG CEO Jeff Dekko.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the transaction should close by Aug. 1.
Growth Spurt
WEG has grown its assets organically by more than $1 billion per year in both 2017 and 2018.
Planning Solutions Group also has an office in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
"We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients rather than shooting for short-term gains. When we first began discussions with Wealth Enhancement Group, we were gratified to know that Jeff and his team believe the same," according to Robert Carson, managing partner at Planning Solutions Group.
"With that alignment in place, along with the scale and efficiencies we stand to gain, there was no question in our minds that joining the Wealth Enhancement Group was the best way to go, for our clients and for PSG," Carson added.

Thank you for the review and the recommendation!
Nice place to live, close to everything and near the interstate.
Ive lived here almost a year and I will be renewing my lease in August. There are a few places that are slightly cheaper nearby and I considered moving, but this place is worth the price. The leasing staff is excellent, especially Bernie, I love going to the office and just chatting with him. He always makes time for everyone. The value for what you get here is better than anywhere else. I pay 669 for my apartment that is 710 sq feet. The other complexes all have smaller units, even if they are cheaper (and not by much, as they are all raising their rents as well), I wouldnt get as much space. And I wouldnt get the incredible leasing and maintenance staff that Hermitage has. There are a few things I dont like. My closet has no door, and the kitchen doesn't have a double sink, and it takes forever to get through the parking lot because some people like to drive 5 mph, so it isnt perfect. But I will be staying here for the foreseeable future.
Million dollar upgrades inside and out means you will LIVE LIFE BETTER at Hermitage Apartments! You'll love life in an updated -- yet affordable -- one, two, or three bedroom apartment with fully-equipped kitchen, loads of closet space, and the convenience of a laundry center in every building!Stay cool in the summer around our refreshing pool with its expansive sun deck. The kids will enjoy our playground, and you'll appreciate our clubhouse for all your entertaining needs. For your peace of mind, there's on-site management and 24/7 emergency maintenance. Access to everywhere is quick and easy from Hermitage Apartments.
I'm interested in Hermitage Apartments. Please send me current availability and additional details.

Equities on the Precipice
By Ed Carlson - May 17, 2016, 4:46 PM CDT
For over three weeks equities have been pulling back from the high on April 20; a high that tested the same level seen in the S&P 500 at the August and November highs - 2,110. A break of 2,033 will confirm that the herd has turned. The 200-dma and horizontal support converge near 2,012-2021. However, a break of 2,040 will trigger a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern that measures a minimum decline to 1,970.
A 14month cycle low is due in May/June and should be pulling equities downward but in the eighth year of a Presidential term, following an April high, equities typically get a bounce from mid-May into early June. That bounce is followed by a long decline into Nov/Dec.

Five labourers electrocuted to death in North Garo Hills
Tura, July 25: Five labourers, four from Assam and another from North Garo Hills were killed after the road construction machine they were pushing got caught in a low lying, high tension wire. Another three workers, who were also at the same site were also severely injured and were rushed to the town of Goalpara for medical care.
The incident occurred this afternoon at about 4:30 pm in the village of Miapara under Mendipathar PS in North Garo Hills.
According to police sources, the incident occurred as the workers were rolling the machinery along the road when the machine hit the HT wire (11KV) overhead.
"According to preliminary information received, earth work had been filled up on the road leading to the increase in the height of the road. However no application was sought to increasing the height of the wires.

At the forefront of this scientifically advanced yet deeply humane guide to hormonal heath and the complex problems that result from imbalances are the views of the relatively new area of functional medicine: lifestyle changes as the first line of attack; a close patient-physician partnership for wellness; and the notion that, despite a myriad of confusing and sometimes overlapping symptoms, many conditions and diseases have a few basic root causes. Through in-depth questionnaires and case studies, bioengineer, gynecologist, and yoga instructor Gottfried guides readers to first identify their main hormonal problems (disordered levels of critical hormones like estrogen, thyroid, and the stress hormone cortisol) and then apply a combination of do-it-yourself remedies (diet, herbs, supplements, etc., to reset the scale. Gottfried calls hormonal balance a soul-infused pie chart, which must be achieved for optimal health, including mood, sleep, weight, immunity, and longevity. For many women juggling careers and families, eliminating caffeine, sugar, and gluten from their diet and devoting time to achieving calm through self-care may seem like climbing a mountain, but Gottfried says that realigning hormones is much easier than continuing in a cycle that seriously impairs quality of life. As readers wade through detailed scientific explanations and extensive recommendations ranging from fish oil and ginseng to yoga-based breathing and meditation, they will be cheered by her appealing sense of humor and disarming candor. And likely, many of them will also be stirred by Gottfried s sympathetic understanding to stay the course.
