The core symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity can have a severe impact on all aspects of life for the child and the whole family. Studies also show that most children with ADHD will continue to experience problems into adulthood.
In the past, treatment for ADHD has been limited to medication. However, now it is generally accepted that the most effective treatment for ADHD should be 'patient-centred' and involve a range of interventions. Treatments that have been proven to be effective include behavioural therapy, psycho-education, lifestyle and diet changes and Neurofeedback Therapy (brainwave training). There is no "one-size fits all approach" and families should be able to make an informed choice based upon the range of treatments now available.
The Perth Brain Centre has been helping children with ADHD and their families for 10 years. Neurofeedback is suitable for people of almost all ages and can also be helpful in other conditions such as anxiety, depression, headaches and migraines.

Muntanyes de Rodna (en , en ) són una subdivisió dels Carpats de l'Interior Oriental al nord de Romania. El nom prové del proper poble de Rodna Veche.

Les muntanyes de Rodna tenen una de les crestes contínues més llargues de Romania, amb més de 50 km d'oest a est. Els dos punts més alts són els cims Pietrosul Rodnei i Ineu, que mesuren 2.303 i 2.279 metres respectivament. Les muntanyes són les més adequades per practicar senderisme a l'estiu i esquiar a l'hivern, i són especialment famoses per tenir neu a finals d'estiu (l'esquí és possible fins ben entrat el juny, de vegades fins i tot el juliol).

Tot i que la cresta en si no presenta cap dificultat, el repte és la seva longitud massiva i l'absència d'aigua potable (excepte alguns bassals que solen estar secs). Una caminada completa per la carena principal de Rodnei triga entre 3 i 5 dies, segons el clima i la resistència de l'excursionista.

El massís té algunes coves, entre les quals destaca "Izvorul Tăuşoarelor", la cova més profunda de Romania, que arriba a uns 479 metres sota la superfície i "Jgheabul lui Zalion", de 242 metres de profunditat.

Ubicació
Les muntanyes de Rodna es troben a la regió de Maramureș, al nord de Romania, a prop de la frontera entre Romania i Ucraïna. Al nord es troba la ciutat de Borșa i el poble Moisei. A l'oest el massís acaba al coll de Șetref (817 m); a l'est, els límits són el pas Prislop (1.416 m) i el pas Rotunda (1.271 m); a sud es troben els pobles Rodna, Sant, Maieru i Aniés. El riu Someșul Mare té la seva font a les muntanyes de Rodna.

La carena principal de les muntanyes de Rodna constitueix la frontera natural entre els comtats de Bistrița-Năsăud i Maramureș.

Accés
Els punts d'accés a la muntanya més utilitzats són:

 Pas de Șetref, amb cotxe o tren, des de l'estació de tren Dealu Ștefăniței.
 La ciutat de Borșa, amb cotxe o autobús; des del centre de la ciutat hi ha un camí cap a l' estació meteorològica Iezer i el llac.
 Estació d'esquí de Borșa, amb cotxe o autobús; l'accés es fa des de la part superior de la pista d'esquí, directament a la carena principal de "Șaua Gărgălău".
 Prislop Pass, amb cotxe; des del coll hi ha un camí marcat que es troba amb el de la part superior de la pista d'esquí, que condueix també a "Șaua Gărgălău".
 El poble de Rodna Veche, amb tren o cotxe; des del poble hi ha dos camins senyalitzats que porten a la carena principal, un d'ells directament al pic Ineu.

Allotjament
Hi ha algunes estacions a la base de la muntanya, sobretot l'estació d'esquí de Borșa, amb alguns hotels i moltes cases d'hostes de propietat privada, i també la nova estació "Valea Blaznei", acabada el 2007, a prop del poble Sant. Conté dos llocs destacats per allotjar-se, "Cabana Vio" a 1.100 m (6,5 m) km del poble de Sant), i una mica més amunt, "Cabana Diana" a 1.240 m, que és un refugi de muntanya. A la carena no hi ha cap allotjament, de manera que els turistes haurien de portar tendes de campanya.

Reserva natural
Tota la muntanya de Rodna està inclosa al parc nacional i reserva de la biosfera de Rodna. Es tracta d'un 567 reserva de km² als Carpats orientals amb ossos bruns, linx, llops grisos, gall fer negre i àguiles.

Q: how to open pdf file from sdcard in android without intent please give me any answer for this question
    String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Download/abc.pdf";
    final Intent intent = new Intent(this, Second.class);
    intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, path);
    startActivity(intent);

A: I am assuming that u r using pdfviewer library
try {
            // select a document and get bytes
            File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                    .getAbsolutePath() + "/Download/" + "file.pdf");
            RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
            FileChannel channel = raf.getChannel();
            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.NEW(channel.map(
                    FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, channel.size()));
            raf.close();
            // create a pdf doc
            PDFFile pdf = new PDFFile(bb);
            // Get the first page from the pdf doc
            PDFPage PDFpage = pdf.getPage(1, true);
            // create a scaling value according to the WebView Width
            final float scale = ViewSize / PDFpage.getWidth() * 0.95f;
            // convert the page into a bitmap with a scaling value
            Bitmap page = PDFpage.getImage(
                    (int) (PDFpage.getWidth() * scale),
                    (int) (PDFpage.getHeight() * scale), null, true, true);
            // save the bitmap to a byte array
            ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            page.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
            stream.close();
            byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
            // convert the byte array to a base64 string
            String base64 = Base64
                    .encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
            bp.add(base64);
            // create the html + add the first image to the html
            // String html =
            // "<!DOCTYPE html>
";
            // loop through the rest of the pages and repeat the
            // above
            for (int i = 2; i <= pdf.getNumPages(); i++) {
                PDFpage = pdf.getPage(i, true);
                page = PDFpage.getImage((int) (PDFpage.getWidth() * scale),
                        (int) (PDFpage.getHeight() * scale), null, true,
                        true);
                stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                page.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
                stream.close();
                byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
                base64 = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
                bp.add(base64);
                // html += "
";
            }
            // html += "";
            // load the html in the webview
            // wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("", html, "text/html",
            // "UTF-8",
            // "");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("CounterA", e.toString());
        }

my above code contains two scenerio,

*

*present code getting the pdf file and converting it to base 64 string and save it to bp( arraylist

*The commented code is to show the input stream base 64 string in a web view,
        WebView webview = new WebView(activity);
webview.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
        LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
String html = "<!DOCTYPE html>
";
html += "";
webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");

this is the code that u can use to show in a webview.,
or else u can convert the base 64 string to image and u can use it.

*

*Don't forget to include
PDFImage.sShowImages = true; // show images
PDFPaint.s_doAntiAlias = true; // make text smooth
HardReference.sKeepCaches = true; // save images in cache

if u r pdf file contains images.

Women on boards: Quotas are a quick fix and only short-term
Ruth Sacks, November 27, 2013
On the face of it, the fact the proportion of women on FTSE 100 and 250 boards has increased since 2011 is progress. However, the figures behind this headline trend reveal the change has been almost entirely in non-executive directorships.
At 6.1% of FTSE 100 and 5.4% of FTSE 250 directors, the number of women in executive roles is still rather small. There is progress but it is happening slowly.
It's perhaps no surprise, then, that Germany has recently decided to go the way of quotas, but I remain sceptical about quotas. Quotas may well offer a 'quick(er) fix', but it can only be a short-term fix at best.
Addressing the cultural issues in employer organisations will impact more effectively so that women are regarded as equally capable of performing effectively at board level as men.
Quotas are not the only answer because they fail to address the underlying, often deep-rooted reasons as to why so few women move into board-level positions, reasons that include women's self-perceptions of the extent to which they feel they have the knowledge, skills and networks to move into board-level positions.
The increasing momentum in this widening (and national) debate about women on the board is very encouraging. High-profile figures such as Helena Morrissey, CEO of Newton Investment, and initiatives such as the 30% Club - an industry-wide group committed to achieving 30% female representation on FTSE boards by 2015 - are far more likely to foster long-term change than quotas or requirements in law. It's a case of focused goals for change and specific targets, achieving them in ways that build genuine engagement and commitment.
To support these initiatives Westminster Business School has introduced a new executive development programme, 'Women for the Board', designed to encourage women to move into board-level roles by facilitating their development of skills, knowledge and confidence.
Women can benefit from such focused development opportunities to advance further in their career progression. At the same time, initiatives including those led by the 30% Club, Opportunity Now's Project 28-40, and social media - especially Twitter - can go a long way towards shifting board-level reluctance to change culture and recruitment strategies.
Business schools have a key role to play in encouraging the next generations of leaders, female and male alike. Each generation has a different attitude. Part of our role is to provide students with the tools, skills and importantly the confidence to present their opinions and knowledge to senior people in the organisation who may have grown up in a very different working environment and culture and not see the world in the same way.
The business case for diversity on the board is well-documented. Research shows that companies with more women on their boards achieve a 42% higher return in sales, 66% higher return on invested capital and 53% higher return on equity. Having at least one female board director appears to cut a company's chances of bankruptcy by 20% and two or three reduce the likelihood still further. Female directors tend to prove more responsive to the market, recruit more widely and ensure better corporate governance - surely a key requirement in the 21st century?
The media spotlight continues to shine brightly and strongly on the issue of women on the board. This helps maintain and increase the pace for change. To this end, the debate over quotas encourages this attention.

Assault on 10-month-old girl in Mumbai: Creche owner arrested
Priyanka Nikam was arrested after her anticipatory bail application was rejected on Thursday; Bombay High Court said 'she does not deserve bail'.
Purva Daycare Centre in Kharghar. (File Photo)
The Navi Mumbai Police on Friday arrested Priyanka Nikam, the owner of the Kharghar creche were a 10-month-old girl was brutally assaulted in November. Nikam was arrested after the Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected the Anticipatory Bail Application (ABA) field by her. After visuals of Nikam's staffer, Afsana Sheikh (30), assaulting a 10-month-old-girl went viral last month, a case was registered against the two for attempt to murder under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act).
"Her bail was rejected by the Bombay High Court following which she was arrested and produced before a local court for demand for custodial interrogation," said Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner, Hemant Nagrale.
The CCTV footage of Purva Nursery and day care centre in Kharghar revealed disturbing visuals of the 10-month-old girl being beaten, kicked and flung by Sheikh. According to the family of the toddler, the incident took place on November 21, the child's first day at the creche. A case was subsequently registered by the Navi Mumbai police. Nikam has been on the run for the last 20 days since the FIR was registered against her.
Before Nikam appealed in High Court, she filed an ABA before the Alibaug Sessions Court which was rejected.
Calling it unfortunate that the state government had failed to rein in untrained people running creches without abiding by rules and regulations, the Bombay High Court while rejecting Nikam's bail said she "does not deserve bail".
During the hearing, it was revealed that the creche got a licence only in January, 2016. The assistant public prosecutor Veera Shinde told the court that the creche had been registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act but a formal licence has not been issued by the government.


It is no secret that chicken wings have always been a favourite amongst us Singaporean foodies. Be it deep fried, barbequed or grilled; most of us have a soft spot for this culinary delicacy. Having tasted the different kinds of barbequed chicken wings at the different hawker centres in Singapore, the recent korean chicken wings craze and fried chicken wings, we are on the hunt to find more flavourful chicken wings, which we realize are not that abundant in Singapore.
A leading pioneer of the chicken wing industry in the US, Wingstop has flown its way into Singapore since 2013 and has been cooking up a storm right under our noses! With 11 amazing flavours to choose from, it was definitely on our list of must-try chicken wings on our hunt for the most flavourful chicken wings in Singapore.
Wingstop first made its mark on our Little Red Dot at Bedok Mall before opening a second outlet at City Square Mall. Listed amongst the top 3 fastest growing restaurants in the US (awarded by Nation's Restaurant News), Wingstop is a global leader in fast casual dining scene – a refreshing spin to the typical fast food dining experiences we Singaporeans have grown accustomed to.
What exactly is fast casual dining, doesn't it just sound like fast food? We came to understand this concept when we took our first bite – with fast casual dining, the quality of chicken wings served is as good as that of full-service dining because the wings are cooked-to-order. Instead of frying the wings in advance and dishing it out upon order (the fast food concept), fast casual dining also ensures that made-to-order wings are delivered much more quickly than full service dining. Though they take a slightly longer time to prepare (we waited for approximately 10-15 minutes), the piping hot and juicy wings are definitely worth the wait in our opinion.
As we heard that Wingstop sauces and tosses the flavours right into the chicken instead of dipping, we were very excited to try out the variety of flavours available. Out of all the 11 flavours, we managed to try 7 of them. We will highly recommend you to visit Wingstop with your friends, the more the merrier as more flavours can be shared. First up, the flavour currently reigning #1 amongst Wingstop lovers in the US – The Louisiana Rub.
A dry rub of cayenne pepper and garlic spices enhances the crispiness of the chicken and creates an addictive flavour that left us begging for more.
Next up, we have the flavour reigning supreme here in Singapore – The Mango Habanero. Who would have thought that the sweetness of a mango could go so well with something as fiery as habanero, one of the hottest chili peppers in the world? The fiery habanero hit us after the initial sweet tang, which is something very interesting due to the mix of both sweet and spicy. The boneless wings (actually chunks of boneless thigh meat) were generously coated with this tangy sauce, and this was our favourite among the 7 flavours that we tried. Naturally, this robust flavour is a hit with wing lovers who are into sweet 'n' spicy flavours!
The original buffalo wings – Original Hot, was what made Wingstop a celebrity back in the US. With a vinegar twist, this Original Hot has an extra edge to the spice, which was not overwhelming at all. In fact, it subtly layers the flavour and draws out the natural fragrance of the chicken. If you are looking for a truly authentic American experience, the original buffalo wings are the way to go.
A word of caution, this flavour is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The famous Atomic is the spiciest flavour Wingstop offers, a typical person is said to be able to eat up to 3 pieces. Sadly, we only managed to survive 1 piece. While the initial bite is mildly spicy, it takes about 3 seconds before the actual kick comes in, it left us speechless for a good 5 minutes. While this may not be for everyone, one thing's for sure; those who love it, LOVE it and keep coming back for more. If you are a daredevil, this will definitely make your list of the gutsiest dares to try!
Of course, for all chicken wings lovers who prefer the non-spicy option, Wingstop has not forgotten about you!
The Garlic Parmesan combines a garlicy and cheesy flavour with a natural nutty fragrance surprisingly well blended together. This is certainly a highly recommended option for diners who are unable to take spicy food. Young children will take a strong liking to this, especially the boneless option, which is much easier to munch on.
Another flavor for those who simply aren't keen on burning your taste buds – don't miss out on the Hickory Smoked BBQ. The barbeque sauce, made according to Wingstop's special recipe, is very aromatic and tastes just as good as it smells. It is perfect for #WingBringers to bring to your gatherings and for young eaters who cannot handle spicy flavours. However, we personally prefer the spicy flavours as they have the kick, which we initially set out to look for.
Lemon Pepper, another one of the top-sellers, has won the hearts of many and started an intense #CrayCrave. A lemony zest combined with a peppery after-taste, this flavour nicely complements the classic fragrance of deep-fried wings. The reason for its popularity is, perhaps, due to the refreshing change it brings with this exciting new flavour.
#WingstopSG offers an all-day combo meal, where a plate of wings (any 2 flavours), complete with a drink and a side of fries and dip is available at $9.95! You can choose your chicken to be served as wings, boneless or tenders for each flavour, depending on your preference.
Besides the main dishes, Wingstop serves some amazing side dishes that left us wanting for more. You can consider trying one of the delicious sides that Wingstop has to offer to whet your appetite; these bite sized teasers ensure that you have something to munch on as your wings are being prepared.
Extremely cheesy and flavourful, the salsa adds a refreshing quality that removes any dryness that leaves you wanting more.
The ever-so-popular mushroom fritters were sold out on the first day that they were launched in the Wingstop outlets in Singapore. This humble plate of deep-fried white, fresh mushrooms stole our hearts with its fragrant batter that coated it evenly. The added crunch is infused with a burst of delectable mushroom flavour with every bite and leaves a delicious after-taste.
The chucky fries were served with a hearty helping of cheese sauce. Currently number 1 in popularity of the sides menu, these fries are not as cloying as typical french fries, which strikes a good balance with its cheesy flavour.
The Potato Salad (S$2.50/ $3.50) was not too creamy and served in sizable chunks that had the sauce accompanying each bite. The Coleslaw (S$2.50/ $3.50) was not too milky or sour, which made it very palatable and refreshing to taste.
Of course, if you are feeling sinful from all the food, have a bite of the Crisp Vegetable Sticks (S$2.50), which taste great with their dips. For non-vege lovers, perhaps dipping them into Wingstop's homemade dipping sauces could change your mind! Take your pick from a whole range including Ranch, Spicy Ranch, Honey Mustard and Cheese (S$0.85/ $1.20 per dip).
Wingstop can be suitable for any occasion, whether you are having a #WingFling (perhaps a 'spicy' date with your significant other) or an intimate get-together, there is something for every chicken lover. What's more, Wingstop is doing regular #WingDrops (Sweepstakes award on Wingstop Singapore's Facebook page). To find out more, check out Wingstop Singapore and you can stand a chance to win free chicken wings to share with your colleagues, friends and family!
Whether or not you are a fan of chicken wings, Wingstop has something for everyone and not to mention, 11 delicious flavours to choose from. We certainly found what we were looking for on this hunt, especially with the unique fast casual dining experience at Wingstop. So what are you waiting for?

Celebrating Multilingualism
There are six official languages of the UN. These are Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. The correct interpretation and translation of these six languages, in both spoken and written form, is very important to the work of the Organization, because this enables clear and concise communication on issues of global importance.

A delegate may speak in any official UN language. The speech is interpreted simultaneously into the other official languages of the UN. At times, a delegate may choose to make a statement using a non-official language. In such cases, the delegation must provide either an interpretation or a written text of the statement in one of the official languages. Most UN documents are issued in all six official languages, requiring translation from the original document.
Multilingualism and the UN
Multilingualism enables communication between the UN's linguistically and culturally diverse Member States within the meeting rooms and halls of the UN. By promoting tolerance, multilingualism also ensures increased participation of all Member States in the Organization's work, as well as greater effectiveness, better outcomes and more involvement. In order to to eliminate the 'disparity between the use of English and the use of the other five official languages' and 'to ensure the full and equitable treatment of all the official languages,' as mandated by the UN General Assembly, the Department of Global Communications has set minimum standards for UN web multilingualism.
History of the UN's Official Languages
The history of the UN's official languages, presented by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, gives the history of when each of the six official languages of the United Nations became official, beginning in 1946.
Universities Outreach Programme
The Universities Outreach Programme was established by the Department of General Assembly and Conference Management (DGACM), in order to address the language recruitment and succession planning goals of the United Nations, by giving guidance on language careers at the UN to students. It has information on the different language careers available at the UN, schools that train students for these careers, and other information.
The UN as Language Employer
The United Nations is one of the world's largest employers of language professionals. Several hundred language professionals work for the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management (DGACM) in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. Many more are hired by the regional commissions of the United Nations in Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Beirut and Santiago. At the United Nations, the term "language professional" applies to a range of specialized and interrelated occupations, mainly interpreters, translators, editors, verbatim reporters, terminologists, reference assistants, copy preparers and proofreaders.
Language Days at the UN
The Department of Global Communications has established language days for each of the UN's six official languages. The purpose of the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization. Under the initiative, UN duty stations around the world celebrate six separate days, each dedicated to one of the Organization's six official languages. Language Days at the UN aim to entertain as well as inform, with the goal of increasing awareness and respect for the history, culture and achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community. The days are as follows:
Arabic (18 December)
Chinese (20 April)
English (23 April)
Spanish (23 April))
French (20 March)
Russian (6 June)

Q: Java - Verify PKCS7 signature using sun classes How to verify PKCS7 signature using sun classes? I know that it is bad thing to do, but for some reasons I can't use BouncyCastle of any other external libraries.
I can get the content from PKCS7 using the following code:
str = str.replace("-----BEGIN PKCS7-----\n", "").replace("-----END PKCS7-----", "");
PKCS7 pkcs7 = new PKCS7(Base64.decodeBase64(str.getBytes("UTF-8")));
byte[] b = new byte[pkcs7.getContentInfo().getContent().getData().available()];
pkcs7.getContentInfo().getContent().getData().getBytes(b);
String s = new String(b, "UTF-8");
return s.substring(s.indexOf("<")); //there are some strange symbols before <?xml

But I need to verify signature first. Of course I have a certificate to do this:
private X509Certificate certVerify;.
Thanks!

A: You'll have to write a CMS and underlying ASN.1 BER/DER library yourself. Sun doesn't contain any official API to handle the CMS messages specified by PKCS#7 (or the followup RFC's).

The JRE may contain useful code in the implementation of Java. Note that these classes are not part of the API and may change over different versions of Sun's / Oracle's Java. Furthermore, they may not be present at all in 3rd party implementations of Java.
import sun.security.util.*;
import sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId;
import sun.security.x509.X500Name;
import sun.security.x509.KeyUsageExtension;
import sun.security.x509.PKIXExtensions;
import sun.misc.HexDumpEncoder;

These API's should not be used. They even cannot be used without making an change in the access conditions of the runtime in e.g. Eclipse.

Note that the Bouncy Castle libraries have a very permissive license; you could even copy the source code to your application (as long as you leave the initial statement in there, read the license for more details). If your employer tells you that you cannot use even that then there might be something seriously wrong in the organization.

Campaigning at the International Whaling Commission
Home > Our 4 goals > Stop whaling > Campaigning at the International Whaling Commission
Keep the whaling ban in place
What does the International Whaling Commission do?
The IWC is the decision making body of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. The various governments that are members of the IWC make their decisions through its various meetings and committees, using the IWC secretariat to help manage their discussions and decision making.
The IWC website states that, "The main duty of the IWC is to keep under review and revise as necessary the measures laid down in the Schedule to the Convention which govern the conduct of whaling throughout the world."
How does WDC work with the IWC?
WDC attends the meeting to provide scientific, legal and conservation expertise to government delegates. We work with member nations to equip them with the knowledge and evidence they need to make informed decisions. WDC scientists also take part in research projects on behalf of the IWC, such as in Antarctica.
Stay up-to-date by email
Which countries are members of the IWC?
The IWC: we've achieved a lot together
Keeping the ban in place: Despite many attempts by the whalers to overturn the moratorium (ban), WDC and other groups have helped ensure commercial whaling has not returned.
Making conservation a priority: Over the years, WDC has helped the IWC has to evolve from simply a meeting of whaling countries, to recognising and tackling a wide range of other related issues that impact whales, from climate change to pollution.
Exposing the whalers: Despite the moratorium, hundreds of whales are still hunted each year. WDC works to expose the horror behind these kills and keep the pressure on the whalers to cease these cruel hunts.

She's A Star
Posted on 10th February 1997 Posted in Era: Whiplash, Single
She's A Star, a 1997 Single by James.
Released ahead of the Whiplash album, She's A Star was James' first single in 3 years. It reached 9 in the UK Singles Chart.
CD JIMED 16 – She's A Star / Johnny Yen (live) / Stutter (live)
CD JIMCD 16 – She's A Star / Chunney Chops / Fishknives / Van Gogh's Dog
CD JIMDD 16- She's A Star / She's A Star (Dave Angel's PAT Mix) / Come Home (Weatherall Mix) / She's A Star (Andrea's Biosphere Dub)
ReleaseAboutSongsListenVideosGallery
Release Name: She's A Star
Artist Name: James
Format: Studio Single
Catalogue: CD JIMED 16; CD JIMCD 16; CD JIMDD 16
Related Release(s): Whiplash (Album)
Three years after the band's previous single Jam J / Say Something, She's A Star was crucial to James hopes of a successful comeback and measuring the fan-base that had remained loyal to the band. Radio 1 A-listed it immediately and the band promoted the single heavily with interviews and live performances on Channel 4's TFI Friday and The Bob Mills Show in the week before the release.
Controversially, the record company decided to ditch the vinyl and cassette formats and chose to release instead a 3 CD set housed in a slipcase sleeve.
The first CD featured two older James standards Johnny Yen and Stutter recorded live at the band's 1992 Alton Towers show. The second CD featured three new b-sides Chunney Chops (named in honour of Chunney Lad Mark), Laid sessions out-take Fishknives and Van Gogh's Dog. The third CD saw two remixes of the title track by Dave Angel and Geir Jenssen (whose remix featured his eight month old daughter on keyboards) and a the Weatherall remix of Come Home that was making its third appearance as a James b-side.
The video featured the band playing at a party in a large house with two female lead characters, one blonde and famous and the other dark-haired living in the shadow of the blonde. Towards the end the dark-haired one pulls a gun and robs all the guests before approaching Tim and kissing him. In a MTV interview, Tim described the video as a homage to the director Fellini.
The music press were generally surprisingly receptive to the single with the exception of a few bemoaning the fact that it was not a great leap forward in style from the previous incarnation of James.
Artwork for the single had been designed by Blue Source, the photography is curiously credited to Davies and Davies.
Priced at £1.99 and preceded by an inspired promotional poster campaign featuring the cover model and exclaiming "She's Coming : February 10" but without naming the artist in the weeks leading up to the release, the single entered the charts at number 9, James joint second highest chart position at the time and ensured a Top of the Pops appearance.
Best known for their early Nineties hit 'Sit Down' (at gigs the audience would sit on the ground when the song was played), James are a British band who made their name with the so-called 'baggy' scene. Four years ago, they set off on tour to the States, scored massive commercial success and decided to stay. 'She's a star' is a storming homecoming single, complete with rousing, rock verses, a chorus sung in an incredibly high pitch and a sob story about boy-girl relationships.

Ukrainian black metal veterans DRUDKH and Swiss underground one-man act PAYSAGE D'HIVER (out on Prophecy) will release their limited 12″ split-EP 'Somewhere Sadness Wanders / Schnee (IV)' worldwide today, August 25th.
The complete split-EP is now exclusively streaming via Invisible Oranges (US).
The artwork of 'Somewhere Sadness Wanders / Schnee (IV)' can be viewed together with the track-list of the split-EP below.
DRUDKH release their next split-EP. The Ukrainian underground black metal veterans collaborate with the Swiss atmospheric black metal project PAYSAGE D'HIVER this time.
Mastermind Roman Sayenko continues to draw his lyrical inspiration from Ukrainian poets. "All Shades Of Silence" derives from the writings of Yevhen Pluzhnyk (1898-1936), who died in a Stalinist gulag. His contemporary Maik Yohansen (1895-1937), who penned the words in "The Night Walks Towards Her Throne" shared a similar fate by being murdered with the guns of a Soviet firing squad.
Both tracks clearly show Roman Sayenko's musical handwriting by perfectly blending raw harshness, epic melodies and a touch of folklore into black metal masterpieces.
With their latest full-length 'A Furrow Cut Short' (2015), DRUDKH continued on the dark and bleak course charted with previous release 'Eternal Turn of the Wheel' (2012). In an ever-evolving metamorphosis, DRUDKH have regularly returned to their early legacy from the Nordic Black Metal inspired debut 'Forgotten Legends' (2003) as well as the cinematic soundscapes of 'Autumn Aurora' (2004) and the traditional influences of 'The Swan Road' (2005). On 'Blood in Our Wells' (2006) progressive elements surfaced, while after the instrumental and partly acoustic 'Songs of Grief and Solitude' (2006) a sharp contrast was created by the harshly black 'Estrangement' (2007). 'Microcosmos' (2009) seemed to tie up the different strands of DRUDKH's previous releases, before embarking on a quest to more outlying progressive realms with 'Handful of Stars' (2010), which led Roman Sayenko to found OLD SILVER KEY, joined by ALCEST vocalist Neige. The band's mastermind has often penned his own lyrics, but also continuously rediscovered forgotten poets of his home country. With similar intentions but musically closer to their original band, members of DRUDKH including Roman Sayenko released an album entitled, 'The Great Cold Steppe' (March, 2017) using the name WINDSWEPT.
DRUDKH insist to be understood through their music alone and do not provide any kind of promotion. DRUDKH do therefore not release any pictures, nor give interviews, or perform live.

Beginning July 1, 2015 patients in Minnesota will be able to begin to fill prescriptions for medical marijuana. The Minnesota law is one of the more restrictive nationally, with the cannabis only being able to be taken in pill, oil or liquid form. In addition the state has placed several restrictions on growers, manufacturers and dispensaries. To date only two companies have been certified growers and manufactures in the state and roughly 8 dispensaries. Minnesota Public Radio has run a series of articles relating to the upcoming opening of medical marijuana. Their articles can be found here: http://www.mprnews.org/topic/medical-marijuana.
As part of an ongoing QC program, manufacturers need to ensure consistent potency and purity of product. UCT offers a range of clean up products including our CLEAN SCREEN THC SPE columns, and CLEAN SCREEN FASt THC columns as well as QuEChERS pouches. These can be used clean up marijuana plants to determine impurities and pesticide residues as well as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) content.

It's no secret that earning income while you sleep is the absolute best way to gain wealth.

In case you haven't heard, creating a blog is one of the easiest and fastest ways to earn a handsome salary. Thanks to the internet gold rush thousands of people are choosing to work smart instead of hard! What is most amazing about this field is that there is no such thing as competiton when it comes to the world wide web. Fact is, millions of people around the world are constantly typing their thoughts and questions into search engines on the daily. Why not get paid to be one of the websites that pop up as one of the results? All that is required to start earning money online is a good niche, a blog, and a well thought out marketing plan. Below are a few examples of how much money a blogger can make.
Pretty impressive figures am I right?

Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or blog on to the Internet. It powers your site and if necessary troubleshoots it whenever there is an issue. Although there are free web hosting companies out there, they are often unreliable and load your content at a much slower rate. If you want your visitors to have a pleasant experience while visiting your site, I recommend starting with cheapest package on Bluehost.com. It's only $3.95 a month!
(You can write this off on your taxes by the way).
Jot down a few names off the top of your head and then test them out on Google to see if they are already in use. Don't waste to much time searching however, instead go to Bluehost to see what's available. After you select the basic hosting plan and sign up for only $3.49/month, you can enter your FREE Domain name! If your desired name is taken, think of some more! Bluehost also gives you suggestions as to what's available, just steer clear of anything totally random.
Once you have picked your package and created your domain name, you will be asked to choose additional options for your account. Domain Privacy Protection blocks anyone from knowing who owns your site. In order to NEVER lose your work, you may want to select The Site Backup Pro for only $1.99 a month. WordPress also provides many free plug-ins that backup your data. Don't bother with the other options because they are unnecessary.
After doing some serious research on the absolute best platform to use when creating a blog, WordPress took the cake! It's most likely the most popular publishing platform because of it's simplicity. You don't have to be a computer wiz to learn how to manage your blog. WordPress is super easy to set up and extremely user-friendly. You can customize everything on your blog from it's theme to it's SEO with the help of online tutorials.

Plan a visit to your local county clerk's office or agency in your state that handles DBA registrations. Before you do so be sure to give the Small Business Administration a call to ask a few questions regarding your business. Ex: Can I run an online business from my home? Do I need to file a DBA? What are the requirements for me to do so?
After submitting the required forms and paying the small fee, you must publish information about your new DBA in at least one local newspaper for at least four weeks. This can be done online in most states.

Think back to how you were living and what you were doing 3 years ago for work. Were you happy? Debt-free? Satisfied with the flexibility of your schedule? Excited about the future? Now envision where you'd like to be 3 years from now. Are you traveling the world? Driving your dream car? Buying your first home? Making the world a better place? These are the type of questions we must ask ourselves in order to understand where we currently are and where we want to be. As individuals we have the power to do and receive any and everything we have ever dreamed of. Long ago I decided that punching-in for the rest of my life in order to make "a decent living" was just not for me. I've always wanted to help change lives on a grander scale and in order to do this I knew making a lot of money was more than necessary. Today I am blessed to say that I am well on the way to living out my dreams in full thanks to the laptop lifestyle! My only regret? Not starting sooner. Click here to start your website today!

What the Passing of Berserk's Author Taught Me About Life
Posted on July 1, 2021 June 24, 2021 by Firebrand
It's a well-known fact that Berserk is one of the most influential manga in history. It also paved the way for the anime that was loved by a multitude of people. It most likely ranks high up in many people's lists of all-time favorites. Its blend of intricately detailed fantasy and gruesome violence paved the way for a lot of works that would inspire, such as Monster Hunter, Dark Souls and Dynasty Warriors.
Its creator, Kentaro Miura, passed away on May 6.
I have never read the manga or watched the anime and because of that, I cannot speak from the heart regarding how his work impacted me or how his characters touched me. I simply can't do that for obvious reasons or I'd end up being overly pretentious. However, what I can talk about is how his death swiftly made me realize a lot of things about life.
I'd always heard mumblings and rumblings about Berserk mainly due to its unfinished state. Kentaro Miura had been working on the series since the late '80s and from what I'd heard, he would dip in and out of his magnum opus for unspecified amounts of time. He'd write and draw a number of chapters then the gaps between updates would be long and for the fans, arduous. At a writing workshop I attended, one of the "unanimous truths" (as I'd like to call it) shared by each one of us attendees and the writing professor was that Berserk should be finished by now. I only had a passing knowledge of what it was about, but I assumed it should have ended by now and on a high note at that
Not being aware of the work itself, I can only contemplate on Miura's decision to prolong the series as a whole. Was there something wrong with his health that forced him to work on it as little as he'd liked? Did he have too much going on personally and such, writing the story became a burden? Or maybe, he grew too fond of his creation that he struggled with moving forward because moving forward meant letting go… and who would want to let go of something that important in their lives?
Regardless, learning of his passing and being an aspiring author myself, it hit me hard. He was 54 years old and it can't be denied that he should have left us much later than this. The most painful part is that his story will now be unfinished, or at best, not fully realized. He could have his assistants finish it – but we all know it wouldn't be the same.
With this realization, I was in turn confronted by own mortality.
No activity in the entire world makes me feel alive more than writing. To put my thoughts, essentially jumbled, incoherent and formless, into strings of words that can capture and encapsulate the complexities of what I feel – nothing else gives me satisfaction and bliss. With writing, I can make sense of the senseless and turn imagination into reality.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have had many secret fears regarding writing and my stories. What if my stories aren't good enough? What if they're not worth telling? What if people wouldn't like them? Some of these fears even mixed that paranoia with physical dismemberment. What if I end up being blinded? Or what if I lost my hands or arms? What if I'm rendered paralyzed or immobile? Any of these could stop any of my planning, plotting and writing dead in its tracks. Most tragic of all, death as a whole would supersede my ambitions because unlike in fiction, we don't get resurrections or reboots.
It was coming across Kentaro Miura's death that for the first time, the grandeur and the spectacle of all my planned stories locked eyes with the lurking, looming shadow of my fears.
To my absolute surprise, my passion didn't flinch.
During a really rough time in my life, it was a dear friend's words that woke me up from a desired yet almost manic brush with death. If I were to entertain that allure, she said, then the story of my stories would end then and there. They would just end, and would no longer go on. I'm reminded of that again as I try to process Miura's death. While tragically his story is unfinished, what mattered more was that he was doing what he loved. He was working on what he was passionate about, and he did not care whatever came his way. He tried and things came to pass. Isn't that what makes life worth living?
For even with all the violence, brutality and struggle found within the pages of Berserk, it was still a story centered on optimism, hope and finding your way even when it feels like you're sinking in life and there's no way out.
I am scared of what life has thrown at me and what it will continue to throw at me.
But as long as I'm still doing what I love the most, I shouldn't be scared.
I will die once it's time to go, but I know in my heart that I would want my stories – much like Berserk – to live forever.
And to the best of my ability, starting today, live forever they shall.

Great show and a greater loss. I still remember my first time watching it and being captivated by the characters and how dark it really got. It is a shame that he never managed to complete the saga and to pass the way he did but with writers like you it helps educate and keep their work alive. Very good piece indeed
Firebrand says:
Wow. That sounds amazing. I'll definitely look to get into it myself someday, seeing as so many people were touched by his work. It didn't even matter whether it was completed work or not, it was still impactful regardless. Thanks for reading!
Wow, I remember some years ago when I was introduced to Berserk.
Two friends of mine were reading the manga and I asked them what it was.

Next thing I know, I'm in a solid 6-hour lecture about the Berserk universe. I listened to every word, and when I read it myself I didn't mind the spoilers one bit. It was still worth it. It will always be…
FriendlyOverlord says:
That was beautiful. What has surprised me, and I think has been the most heartwarming thing, is just the amount of people I've seen pouring their hearts out over Miura's passing. I knew Berserk meant a lot to people, but I had no idea how much, and I think if Miura could see everyone now, he would have no regrets and be happy that his story touched so many.
I'm hoping he was aware even if just for a bit while he was alive. It's a shame that some people never get to find out the impact they've had on others until it's too late. Thank you for reading!
