True Purple Information for the Colleges of the University
Information for alumni relations staff and local alumni leaders of the Colleges of the University
Please study the below information carefully. If you still have questions, contact the Secretary General of the Swiss LSE Alumni Association, the organizer.
We are delighted to present the next installment of "True Purple", the traditional annual gathering of all graduates, current and former students, members of staff, visitors and friends of the Colleges of the University of London, who live and/or work in Switzerland.
Please find below all the necessary information. Immediate action is required; the events take place soon in multiple cities throughout Switzerland.
Not much has changed in the procedures from previous years. So, if you have been personally involved with previous "True Purples", it'll basically be the same this year. If you are new to the event, please study the below information carefully.
Each year, we update the details of our alumni contacts at each of the Colleges of the University and Imperial College. We have given our best to get the correct contact with the correct e-mail address. Please apologize for any errors we might have made, and we ask that you notify us of any change of contact information.
Please advice us once you have invited your College constituency in Switzerland to aid us in venue space planning. Thank you. Please also don't hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance.
Invitation Regime
Graduates, current and former students, members of staff, visitors and friends of the Colleges of the University of London will enjoy supper and small talk at six locations in Switzerland. This page contains all relevant information on the events and also links to invitation and marketing material.
Alumnae and alumni have been enjoying "True Purple" for many years and will return for each annual installment. Nonetheless, we strongly recommend that each College also invites their own alumnae and alumni in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein to "True Purple". Alumnae and alumni always appreciate being invited to large events by their College. The Swiss LSE Alumni Association, the organiser of "True Purple" for over a decade, will take care of all organizational matters, will prepare additional marketing material and will cover the bill for the use of any facilities.
Please find below recommended templates for your e-mail and postal communications and for your print publications. To ensure consistent event branding across the University, please use these templates.
ASCII text templates for electronic communciations: Microsoft Word templates for print communications:
E-Mail Invitation A6-sized Postal Invitation Cards (Text Side)
E-Mail Reminders A6-sized Postal Invitation Cards (Address Side)
E-Mail Last Call A4-sized Postal Invitation
Print Publication Invitation
Specific Actions
We recommend that, at minimum, you do the following:
list the events in the alumni-related pages of your Web site and within alumni content in your print magazines
re-connect with as many of your "lost" alumni/ae as possible
dispatch an e-mail invitation to all of your alumni/ae in Switzerland
dispatch a 1st e-mail reminder
dispatch a 2nd e-mail reminder
dispatch a last call
You may also chose to do one or more postal mailings. Postal mailings are more costly but also more effective.
We encourage you to take the opportunity to perform some "housekeeping" tasks: Try to track down your "lost" alumni/ae. The upcoming event represents an excellent alumni volunteer recruitment opportunity.
The "absolute floor" in the below table is the number of alumni/ae, which your College has for certain in Switzerland. It's technically impossible that you have below that number of alumni/ae. However, you should be able to connect to all those alumni/ae making the "estimated floor" of the number of alumni/ae in Switzerland. In our experience, it takes about one man-day to research the names and contact details of 200 alumni/ae. With maximum effort, you will be able to reach your "estimated ceiling" of the number of alumni/ae.
The Colleges are listed in order of their admission into the University, followed by the central academic bodies and Imperial College. The numbers are per 31 December 2014.
Absolute floor: Estimated floor: Estimated ceiling:
UCL 609 800 1'100

Alumnae and alumni have to sign up for "True Purple" in advance. They do so through a dedicated Web gateway. Each of the invitation templates includes sign-up instructions to alumnae and alumni. If you customise the text of these templates before dispatch, please do not change the part with the sign-up instructions.
For Imperial College
University membership for alumnae and alumni of Imperial College will depend on the year they matriculated. The postgraduate matriculating classes of 2007 and beyond and the undergraduate matriculating classes of 2008 and beyond could not have become members of the University. Classes working towards a degree on 8 July 2007 could chose to retain membership in the University or not. All classes prior to these years continue to be members of the University. The organising club, nonetheless, will continue to welcome all alumnae and alumni of Imperial College, whether they are members of the University or not, to "True Purple".

They say: "It could change your life. Perhaps the most conceptual offering in Capital Fringe history, BFF explores friendship through two hour 'friend building' excursions. Only 50 people can attend these one-on-one experiences, hanging out with one of DC's top performance artists."
Rachel's Take: Brian Feldman and I went bowling and drank juice last night. We wandered as Chinatown closed down, talking about our dreams. Like a good first date, it was low-key and relaxed, and I had purchased two hours of the gentleman's company on the Internet.
BFF is a doozy of a Fringe concept, something you probably won't get anywhere else: Spend two hours as the lone audience member of Feldman's one-man show/excursion/whatever you like. Is it art? Well, it calls itself art, like Marcel Duchamp's urinal. But it's also stripped down of most artifice. So…it's Fringe.
But as far as I could tell, Feldman wasn't in any way performing and he had no expectations for what I, the audience, would take away from it. Hence, the two most frightening/thrilling aspects of the show's program blurb, "friend building" and "performance artist," were pretty misleading. I expected, I guess, trust falls, sharing secrets, oddness, or confrontation—-a challenge to forge immediate BFF-style intimacy.
I was his fourth BFF of the evening. It sounded like all so far had been women, including his ex-girlfriend, which was apparently not weird. His 50 one-ticket shows are, he told me, about half sold out for the entire festival. He won't see any other shows unless a BFF wants to see one with him, but he already has a button, in case. He's new in town and wants to meet people and do things and make it, somehow, theater. Who's to say it's not? Well, any of us. But I don't think it matters.
Feldman says he's more of a conceptual artist in reality theater—-previous shows have included his family eating dinner, him smiling for three straight hours in an art museum, and Brian Feldman Marries Anybody—-so don't be put off or lured in by the "performance art" label. His power is that he is not performing, at all. There was no underlying desperation to be liked or to entertain, and there was no steely barrier, the kind performers tend to put up when they're "on." I made him laugh, but not every time I made a joke. He got embarrassed when I asked what he does for money, since the bowling cost more than my ticket price. He was a person, and it embarrasses me as a performer to admit how rare and difficult such a thing is.
In fact, what made it such a good first date is that there were no attendant anxieties about the other person's perceptions and what might happen from there. I hung out with a person for two hours, a person who had no motives or wants but to hang out with me for two hours. You might have someone like that already in your life; if so, you're lucky, and I bet it took more than $17 to get there.
See It If: You want a new conceptual artist friend to hang out with in real life.
Skip It If: You'd rather sit in the dark and watch.

The summer of 1963, I made my way across the country after I'd given up the chance to apprentice at Williamstown's summer theatre, with drama heaven beyond since Wiliiamstown was known to be a surefire shot to Yale. I hadn't decided theatre wasn't important but I'd decided I had to go back to Arizona instead of sinking my teeth into the waiting, succulent flesh of professional theatre life as I'd imagined I would since my early childhood.
I'd vaulted over creosote bushes, loving their scent. Overcame a lifelong fear of heights so I could trim olive trees. I'd discovered - what?
I didn't know what the "what" was that I'd discovered but figured if I went back, I'd find out. On the way to AZ from NY, I managed to get myself put off a freight train. Didn't know, when I got on the flatcar, there were already two people on it, a couple of young guys - nice guys - who had more melanin in their skin than I did. South Texas was still very much Dixie, the South, in 1963. The freight train ground to a halt in the middle of nowhere, a guy in a white pickup truck with a bunch of long guns on a rack in the cab made all three of us get off the flat car. Threatened me with jail, them with lynching if we thought his statement was worth arguing about.
We did what he told us to do. Got off, not together. I wish I knew what happened to those guys, Joe and Little Brother, so I could thank them for their amiability. Maybe someday I will get to do that. (Ya never know: It's getting to be quite a small world. If I'm lucky, which I consider myself to be, maybe at least one of them will appear....) When I got to Tempe, the tree outside my friend Marilyn's apartment was ripe with figs. At Cosanti, I fell immediately in love ("at first sight") with a sweet guy who'd come for the first Silt Pile workshop.
After he left, I found myself slipping into a void so huge I could find no boundaries. Not for time, not for space. I saw the energy-field of the unidentified Chinese potter whose over six-foot tall vase sat (glowing! it was radiantly glowing!) encased in glass in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I heard the energy-echo of the writer-translator whose words of power appeared in my Heiligeschrifte Bible, I detected the whine of tension in the coiled springs of the mattress beneath my restless body when I tried to lay me down. I vibrated in consonance with the droning, zapping buzz of the NYC streetlights. The world around me was awash with noise from objects I'd always assumed were still and silent. when all of them were suddenly, stunningly, started to clamor loudly and implacably for attention.
My gentle parents did their best to cope. My mother farmed me out to a friend of hers who worked as an anaesthesiologist at the local hospital. Jeannie's useful house rule for guests was that the bed one slept in had to be made in the morning before one left one's room. Good habit to get into. Aside from that, she had no rules for me and was at work the afternoon of the day I tried to rescue a bird, a fledgling that had fallen from its nest. The terrified creature shuddered and died despite my silent wailing hope for its salvation.
Jeannie let me go home to my folks at the end of the week and I don't recall ever seeing her again but bed-making was simply never much of an issue after that although I never thought to thank her for her conscientious rule-setting. Too bad!
I'm not sure the psychiatrist I agreed to see was quite as conscientious. A nice-enough fellow, I suppose, but one I must say I was singularly ill-equipped to handle. When he took out a cigarette, a habit I had come to think of as odious and was loathe to tolerate in anyone, he was history. Especially since he was a medical guy who, presumably, ought to know better. How could anyone - me, in this case - trust a doc who was addicted to tobacco?
That particular form of arrogance has stayed with me, but I've learned to be forthright. I temper my distaste with an admission to whatever poor bloke I'm accosting so my rant now goes something like: I'm a strong-minded broad - or dame, depending upon whom I'm addressing - who wants health and happiness for all. So why are *you* doing that?
Overall, I didn't socialize much that fall although I did manage to hold conversations with a few friends: Barbara, whom I'd met at CCNY; Ben, who'd been in the Silt Pile workshop at Cosanti and came to NY from LA to visit. Most all my old pals from high school had pretty much moved away and I was not in the mood to seek out and meet new people. I didn't think I was avoiding people but I had nothing simple or straightforward to say to anyone, preoccupied as I was with a hyper-reality most people did not seem to be conscious of.
"The stopping of Becoming is Nirvana" I heard myself saying, one day. Now, where had that come from? I had no idea.
I'm not sure exactly when my hyper-state abated, but it did. When it did, I packed myself up and once again headed west.

In the realm of international business, there exist many barriers to communication. Communication barriers are impediments that prevent our intended message from being received the way we intended. Barriers to communication can be physical, mechanical, psychological, cultural or linguistic.


I have less interest on topics of the past as compared to hubby's great love for history and politics but whenever we visit remnants of our past, the patriot side of me do reign.
We have visited quite a few of Philippine Churches and the lack of upkeep is a distress of high concern. How we wish we put "value" in words and in acts to relics that made the "us" today that will further bridge the present to the future.
The Pan-ay Church or the Sta. Monica Parish Church was a surprise to my general impression of our heritage. The general structure demonstrated its original materials except for the belfry which obviously was modern and distinct from the rest of the design.
I was saddened for a while as the idea of not seeing the big bell held me down. It occurred to me that the online pictures are just imitations to rekindle the past. But after we climbed the bell tower, the sight of another "big bell" brought relief beyond fathom.
"I am God's voice which I shall echo and praise from one end to the other of the town of Panay so that the faithful followers of Christ may come to this house of God to received the heavenly graces".
We continued our stroll and the sights at the churchyard are equally amazing - from the church walls/foundation, to the museum, the old Spanish well, the Paseo and even the stone fence at the back has shown elegance as it withstood time and nature.
Wow! I enjoyed your writing and thanks for your giveaway! The church loans in USA lender is quite experienced to solve church financial problems and charges low too.
Beautiful place and it seems that this church is many many years old.

House of Lies Review 'Amsterdam' – Cat Deely Got Handsy
By: Jessica Rae | January 15, 2012 at 11:18 PM EST
The idea of a fake charity to help "homeless kittens find whiskers" is the thing that amused me the most in this episode of House of Lies.
In "Amsterdam"the House of Lies team has to try and salvage a basketball team caught in the middle of an angry divorce. But let's get to the rest of the episode first, because that's what was important.
The episode started off reminding us that this is an edgy! intense! adult! TV show by showing more onscreen sex. I wouldn't even bat my eyes at this, but the scene veered (though did not stay) towards a possible rape scenario. And a questionable rape scene doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth. So the episode starts off with negative points.
I find that I'm interested in the knowledge that Marty (Don Cheadle) has about the art of closing. If he's so good at it, I don't just want to see him blowing everyone away, I want to continually learn from him so I can use these techniques in my own life! (You don't have to only watch PBS to learn stuff on TV, guys.) But most of the knowledge seems lost and to play second fiddle to everything else going on.
The storyline of Marty having a son that is a crossdresser continued when the principal called about it. I wasn't entirely sure how it was resolved. Did the kid leave the office in the same outfit? I'd wager a guess that the school will continue to be annoyed and call the Dad. Something entirely unrelated to the actual issue here is when the principal was marveled about how Marty knew it was her on the phone, only to be reminded about caller ID. I think a lot of people forget that there are plenty of Americans who still use land lines without this feature.
Later, Jeannie (Kristen Bell) has no clue who Cat Deely or So You Think You Can Dance is, and it shows that everyone has their blind spots. (I just learned there's a show called Grannies on Safari.) Bell also gets praise from me for the way she did that walk-and-talk phone call in the air port.
And hey, speaking of Cat Deely – she's there! Doug (Josh Lawson) is in love. It's a pretty predictable scene of having a tongue-tied guy unable to talk to a celebrity.
The group dynamic develops a bit, especially when we saw how they work together, and what role everyone really takes. Doug obviously knows numbers but he crumbles under pressure. Marty is smart but he doesn't want to work hard. Jeannie is the know-it-all who is too good to be there. Clyde (Ben Schwartz) I'm not sure. He's just kind of a sleazeball. He seems like someone you have on your team just because you needed X number of players.
The pauses (or freezes) of everyone but Marty so he can explain something work better here than in the pilot. Most of what he says can be understood in context clues, but I guess it's a little helpful occasionally.
The idea of a head hunter came up in this episode and it made me think I'd be awesome at this. I could totally recommend stuff about writers! But this also illustrated how Marty and Jeannie work together. If she was really, truly going to take the job she never would have mentioned the offer. So she was glad when Marty made it go away. But she got to have her cake and eat it to by acting annoyed when confronting Marty about it. She just wants to feel wanted and needed. She's obviously a major team player and not just in it for the money. (Unless she was lying about the money just to try and make Marty feel guilty that he pulled the plug on it. It could also be good leverage for a raise.) She wants to be where she is, she likes her little work family. It's sweet.
What happened to that couple and the team? They do a total PR spin with a "fake reconciliation." This mad me go "ugh, celebs" because you know plenty of them are doing this kind of shady stuff. And management consultants like Marty are the ones who can help them do that. See, you can't forget that we're rooting for the villains on this show. Maybe they should commit to that bad guy image and go steal the sun or something. Otherwise, they're not nailing that point home, and I'm left feeling like I'm going to be tricked into liking this group of people who represent what is wrong with America. And that's just not an opinion I want to carry around with me. I'm conflicted. Guess I'll be tuning in for the next episode. Dammit.
House of Lies season 1 episode 2
Amsterdamn Summary: Marty and The Pod are sent to Phoenix to clean up a mess at a very powerful sports franchise, caused by the owners' impending divorce… on Showtime.

Q: Why don't GL_RGB32, GL_RGBA32 exist? Relevant reading: http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Image_Format#Color_formats
Normalized texture formats, (e.g., GL_RGB8_SNORM and GL_RGB16), store integers that map to floating point ranges (-[1.0,1.0] for signed normalized, [0.0,1.0] for unsigned normalized).
It seems to me like there's a very good reason for having GL_RGB32, GL_RGBA_SNORM, etc. tokens: the precisions would surpass dedicated floating point formats, like GL_RGB32F.  Also, for completeness: why have normalized formats for 8 bits and 16 bits, but not 32?
So, why don't GL_RGB32, GL_RGBA32 exist?

A:
It seems to me like there's a very good reason for having GL_RGB32, GL_RGBA_SNORM, etc. tokens: the precisions would surpass dedicated floating point formats, like GL_RGB32F.

You've just answered your own question. They don't allow it because to allow it would mean either discarding 8 bits of that extra precision in the conversion to single-precision floats, or converting those 32-bit normalized integers to double-precision floats.
And you'll notice that not even GL 4.2 allows for double-precision float textures.
It's not allowed because it simply wouldn't be useful on current hardware. Current hardware doesn't support it because supporting it would mean fetching double-precision values from textures.

Based on numerical simulations, we demonstrate thermally induced magnetic switching in synthetic ferrimagnets composed of multilayers of rare-earth and transition metals. Our findings show that deterministic magnetization reversal occurs above a certain threshold temperature if the ratio of transition-metal atoms to rare-earth atoms is sufficiently large. Surprisingly, the total thickness of the multilayer system has little effect on the occurrence of switching. We further provide a simple argument to explain the temperature dependence of the reversal process.

Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin were all nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Irony – Nobel Peace Prize nominees included Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini… The Italian Fascist dictator was nominated in 1935 which was the same year he invaded Ethiopia. The nomination also came after he had placed three-quarters of all Italian businesses under state control. Mussolini was nominated by two different people. One of the letters of recommendation came from a German law professor while the other was from a professor in France. In 1939, Hitler was nominated by E.G.C. Brandt who was a member of the Swedish parliament. However, Brandt did not actually nominate Hitler because he believed in what the Führer stood for. Instead, the nomination was a protest against the nomination of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that year. While Hitler had no chance of getting the Noble Peace Prize, it was not actually awarded that year because of the outbreak of World War II. In the years after WWII, other strange nominations would occur. The most confusing would be the two nominations for Joseph Stalin. The former leader of the Soviet Union was nominated first in 1945 and again in 1948...


Forest bathing is a gentle, meditative practice of connecting with nature. Simply being present, with all of our senses, in a forest or other wild area, can produce mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. It is a simple, accessible antidote to our nature-starved lives and can inspire us to become advocates for healing our relationships with the more-than human world. This book is both an invitation to take up the practice of forest bathing and an inspiration to connect with nature as a way to help heal both the planet and humanity.
Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. In Japan, forest bathing is known as shinrin-yoku. Studies there have demonstrated a wide variety of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.
In Your Guide to Forest Bathing, Amos Clifford draws on four decades of wilderness experience to introduce readers to the medicine of being in the forest. Learn about the roots of the practice, how to deepen your relationship to nature, and how to begin a practice of your own. Practical matters such as finding a suitable trail and what to bring are also included.

Endorsements and Reviews
Life and Death in Higher Education is the result of many years of research but is topical because of the current teacher shortage. At its peak in 1961 there were 40,000 men and women who entered colleges of education in Britain compared to 50,000 who entered traditional universities. There have been interesting histories of individual colleges but this book takes a holistic approach which was supported by the historian Professor Asa Briggs.
This controversial study is packed with fascinating facts that will intrigue and inform readers. As well as the relationship between colleges and schools social issues are analysed such as the role of working class teachers and the battles of women staff and students. New evidence is provided for the colleges' expansion and their sudden closure.
The study draws on undiscovered official and local archival sources. An important feature is the testimony drawn from interviews from former college students, the oldest being 101 years.
This immensely readable book appeals to general readers as well as specialist historians of education. It is of particular interest to teachers, especially those whose institutions were originally colleges of education. Political scientists and sociologists will find much of relevance, as will feminists who have enjoyed Debenham's last two published books.

Chapter 7: Control and Rebellion
Clare Debenham's lively study addresses critical questions that concern our provision of well-qualified, skilled and committed teachers for schools today. Extensively sourced in institutional history and lived experience, a striking feature is the creative and influential role of many outstanding women. This book illuminates the formation of a key profession engaged in a vital task – raising new generations of healthy, skilful, socially-minded and democratic citizens.
Dr Peter Cunningham, Emeritus Fellow, Homerton College, University of Cambridge
This clearly written book offers a fascinating history of a neglected sector of higher education in Britain, the teacher training colleges and colleges of education that
were merged or closed in the 1970s. Did such a move contribute to the shortage of teachers today? Here, Clare Debenham provides an informative account of this
provocative issue.
June Purvis, Professor Emerita of Women's and Gender History University of Portsmouth
Debenham provides a vivid picture of the life of the colleges, drawing on interviews and archival material, and uses their death as a starting point for some provocative analysis of how teacher training is best provided inside and, increasingly, outside higher education.

Mohammad Nouri (December 22, 1929 – July 31, 2010) was one of the foremost folk and pop singers in Iran. He studied the English Language and Literature at the University of Tehran, but continued his professional career in music.He studied Persian music under Esmaeil Mehrtash and music theory and piano under Sirous Shahrdar and Fereidoun Farzaneh. In his singing style he was considered as a follower of Hossein Aslani and Naser Hosseini. Nouri rose to prominence in the 1960s with his distinct style of singing and enjoyed four decades of popularity among Iranians of all generations. His song Jaan-e Maryam, Gol-e Maryam, as well as his patriotic song Iran, Iran, have been and are well known melodies and themes among three generations of Iranians from both before and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Early in his career, Nouri enjoyed some degree of popularity among chore orchestral music lovers. His tunes were often serious and thought-provoking, hardly palatable, though, for the young and old pop music lovers who admired stage and special event performers, such as Viguen and a host of others. Nouri held his chosen career in such high esteem and refused to be ranked among pop singers who were mushrooming during 60's and 70's perhaps because he observed how they often stooped to degradation that ordinarily money and fame imposed on the arts. Not surprisingly, other than the few folk tunes, his were mostly played on public radio and then only during odd hours and somewhat regularly for army radio program's music breaks. 1929-2010 Mohammad Nouri is one of the foremost pop singers in Iran. His legendary mystic sound inspired generations of Iranian throughout the world. His famous love and patriotic songs can help the listener fly to the outmost feelings of love to the world he creates. His song Jaan-e Maryam , as well as his patriotic song Iran is a well known Melody and theme among the three generations of Iranians both before and after the revolution. Nuri was born in Tehran and with youth, singing and music theory with her first Baghcheban and Fereydoon Cyrus F. Mayor, high school music teacher, learned. He influenced his singing style and the richness of tissue wounds such as professors Hossein Aslani, Nasser Hosseini, and Mohammad throne knows. "Nouri" in the same years - teens - by reading the lyrics on the new songs had been written the day Mghrbzmyn and some pieces of classical singing, the singing began. Songs of the master, over five decades, among the three generations, has earned a special status and prestige. The artist in the margins of the hard workers, with more than three hundred pieces of vocal performance, presentation and writing articles and translated poems of enduring songs, more than ever in the hearts of your people fit in this territory. He recently performed to benefit a few special cases. His voice, reminiscent of the last generation of good moments and Mhrbanyhay rich, and for generations, is the creator Shyryntryn memories. He has performed many patriotic songs. One of his most famous songs, which is Mary's song of their Sakhthhay light. Optical fibers with a degree in English language and literature, drama, singing with Ismael Mhrtash learned Persian. High school music teacher after the "Mayor of Cyrus" and "Fereydoun wise" and "Mustafa Pvrtrab" They went from music theory, piano and learn Slfzh.That way it can be difficult under the branch of fields such as pop, classical and ... Included Noori trained to sign when being young by Evelin Baqchehban and learned the music theory by two high-school music teachers, Sirous Shardar and Fereydoon Farzaneh. He believed that his singing style is influenced by texture and richness of plectrum by masters such as Hossein Aslani, Nasser Hosseini and Muhammad Sarir. During twenty decade, it was began a kind of thinking of the vocal lyrics and music among the people, especially the young generation, a part of which can be ascribed to an effect coming from broadcasting and the publication of the wider scientific music and folklore works from around the world, by radio and phonograph records. "Noori" in those years –teenager ages- began to get experienced as a singer by singing the new lyrics on the songs from the occident and some classical pieces which had composed. Noori, during following years, relying on his education in the vocation and university, could grant an independent identity in the thoughts and attitudes; and performing the teachers' works as mentioned earlier, a thoughtful space had been made in his style of how singing. Noori, over five decades, performed more than three hundred pieces. He has also written and translated articles and versed some poems for the song as well. Noori at the end of living years arrange several concerts to benefit of certain patients. He performed many greatest hits with patriotic themes such as "Dear Mary", "Rice Field", "Vasonak", "Friday Market", "Iran" ted. Mohammad Noori's Biography One of the most famous songs of Mohammad Noori would be "Dear Mary" a beautiful song of his own compositions. In addition to receiving a degree in English literature and the dramatic major, he learned Iranian song to Ismael Mehrtash. Then he attended in the High School Music to be learnt by two masters "Sirous Shardar" and "Fereydoon Farzaneh" and "Mostafa Poortorab" on music theory, playing piano and Solfege; learned classical singing lessons by Evelin Baghchehban and Fakhereh Saba and founded his vocal style influenced by masters such as Hossein Aslani, Nasser Hussaini and gradually found their own unique way. The manner is hard to be put it in sub-branch of branches such as pop, classical and so on. Noori took graduates from School of Theatre and English Literature from Tehran University, and Principles of the theater from Faculty of Social Science.

"No, the universe began with the big bang!"
"God created life as we know it largely in the forms we now recognize!"
"No, evolution is the key to explaining how life developed to its present state!"
For the last two hundred years the argument has continued. When Charles Darwin's theories seeped into western culture a great divide seemingly split asunder any hope of reconciliation between two camps that came to be known as "Religion" and "Science." For a long time, religion had the upper hand, using the tools of the Inquisition to stifle scientific argument. But in modern America and Europe, science seems to have carried the day, at least when it comes to the teaching philosophy of the school systems. In academia, "God talk" is now equated with superstition unless you're a giant like Stephen Hawking who is allowed to metaphorically seek "the mind of God."
How did we get here – will we ever know? ( Public Domain )
But the argument won't go away. It still simmers beneath the surface, erupting now and again when it comes time for local school boards to decide about upgrading science textbooks.
At the root of the issue lie a few profound questions: "How did we get here? Where are we going? Who and what are we, really? By what process did we get to our present state of human development?"
Science insists it has facts on its side and simply cannot comprehend how anyone could believe otherwise.
Religion says there are too many gaps in the theory of evolution, including the biggest of all: How did "something" originally appear from "nothing?"
Our Origins Explained in Quantum Reality?
These days, however, there is an ever-growing number of scientifically trained folks who choose to label themselves "spiritual" rather than "religious" and are beginning to seriously question both sides of the argument. Led by such writers as Deepak Chopra, Ervin Lazlo, and Dean Radin, they examine theories arising from quantum reality which seem to imply that there may be mysterious answers yet lurking in the background. Ancient traditions such as Hinduism have long insisted this to be the case. So, could it be said that modern physics is thus providing some common ground wherein two parallel lanes of philosophical traffic can, at long last, merge into one superhighway? Are "facts" and "magic" beginning to converge?
First - some background.
God of the Gaps
In the beginning, "God" was a simple answer to any complex question about origins.
And so it went. Wherever a seemingly insurmountable gap in human understanding appeared, it was filled by inserting a miracle from God. Thus was born the popular term, "God of the Gaps." It was a way of letting science have its fun while insisting that whenever a mystery showed up—from so-called "missing links" to the inscrutable "first cause"— it was proof of the existence of God. It stated that God is the unexplainable, unknowable force that we can ever understand. It's a safe principle and a convenient one. Whenever we are faced with a seemingly unsolvable riddle we can attribute its solution to God.
The problem is that as science answered more and more questions the gaps got smaller. When we no longer needed Zeus to explain lightning or Apollo to make sense of the sunrise each morning, God suddenly got less and less maneuvering room. The God of the Gaps came to be referred to as "magical thinking."
Survival of the Fittest?
Meanwhile, science didn't fare much better. It's insistence that evolution is a steady but sure process, with one form predictably preceding from its predecessor, hit some severe bumps along the fossilized highway.

Here's the full story. Capital Southwest Stock https://www.incomeinvestors.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/unrecognisable-businessman-accountant-banker-counting-money-at-the-workplace-white-background_t20_2WmgO0-150x150.jpg
This 12%-Yielding "Alternative Bank" Is an Insider Favorite
By Jing Pan, B.Sc., MA | June 25, 2020
Looking for High-Yield Stocks? Read This
In today's ultra-low interest rate environment, a yield of 12% simply seems too good to be true. But what if management of this 12% yielder is willing to put their money where their mouth is?
The stock in question is Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ:CSWC), which belongs to a special group of companies called business development companies (BDCs). I like to consider BDCs as "alternative banks" because they don't serve retail customers like you and me. Instead, most of them are in the middle-market lending business.
In the case of Capital Southwest, the company focuses on supporting the acquisition and growth of middle-market businesses across the capital structure. It follows a two-pronged investment strategy.
The firm's core strategy is to invest in lower-middle-market businesses, which tend to generate earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) between $3.0 and $15.0 million. The typical holding size for this core strategy ranges between $10.0 and $20.0 million. (Source: "Q4 2020 Earnings Presentation," Capital Southwest Corporation, June 2, 2020.)
Other than its core strategy, CSWC has an opportunistic strategy that invests in upper-middle-market companies that usually earn more than $50.0 million in EBITDA. The holding size of an opportunistic investment is generally between $5.0 and $15.0 million.
These two strategies have resulted in a rather lucrative business. At the end of March, the weighted average yield on CSWC's debt investments was 10.5%.
One thing I really like about these alternative banks is that they have a pass-through tax structure. As long as a BDC distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to investors through dividends, it pays little to no income tax at the corporate level.
So when Capital Southwest Corporation earns oversized interest income from its portfolio, most of that income gets passed on to shareholders as dividends.
Right now, the company pays regular quarterly dividends of $0.41 per share, which translates to an annual yield of 12.5%.
Insiders Have Loaded Up on Capital Southwest Corporation
Of course, as I said earlier, we live in an ultra-low interest rate environment. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note currently just yields about 0.66%. A stock that offers a double-digit payout can seem quite risky.
Obviously, as is the case with any stock, investors should take a look at Capital Southwest's financials. But before we do that, I want to talk about another useful indicator: insider ownership.
You see, in most companies, management is almost always upbeat about their business. However, not all executives are willing to buy their own companies' shares. In this day and age, talk is cheap, but if a company's management is willing to put their own money on the line, it should be considered a more genuine sign of strength.
And that's exactly why CSWC stock could be special. In the BDC's latest earning conference call, Chief Executive Officer Bowen Diehl revealed that, in the March quarter, management and board members were active buyers of Capital Southwest stock in the market. Added up, they own approximately 10% of the company's total shares outstanding. (Source: "Capital Southwest (CSWC) CEO Bowen Diehl on Q4 2020 Results – Earnings Call Transcript," Seeking Alpha, June 2, 2020.)
Looking at the financials, note that Capital Southwest's fiscal year ends on March 31, so its full-year fiscal 2020 results are already available. During the fiscal year, the company generated a pre-tax net investment income of $1.68 per share. The amount not only represented a 14% increase year-over-year, but was also in excess of the company's $1.60-per-share regular dividends paid for the fiscal year. (Source: "Capital Southwest Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 and Announces Total Dividends of $0.51 Per Share for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020," Capital Southwest Corporation, June 1, 2020.)
Going further back, we see that, since Capital Southwest completed its spin-off of CSW Industrials Inc (NASDAQ:CSWI) in 2015, the company's pre-tax net investment income has provided 1.07 times coverage for its regular dividends.
Mind you, regular dividends aren't the only thing CSWC stock investors have been collecting. In fact, since mid-2018, Capital Southwest stock has been paying supplemental dividends of $0.10 per share every quarter. (Source: Capital Southwest Corporation, June 2, 2020, op. cit.)
Capital Southwest created the supplemental dividend program to return some of its undistributed taxable income (UTI) to shareholders. At the end of March, the company still had a UTI balance of $1.44 per share.
Can You Count on This 12.5% Yield?
Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has sent shock waves through the financial markets, and we have seen quite a few dividend cuts in recent months.
The good news is that Capital Southwest Corporation is committed to its dividend policy. In fact, the company has already declared a $0.51-per-share dividend for the quarter ended September 30, including a regular dividend of $0.41 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.10 per share. (Source: Capital Southwest Corporation, June 1, 2020, op. cit.)
Note that the company could have waited for uncertainties to resolve before declaring its dividend for the September quarter; we are still in June, after all. But as Diehl puts it, "In an effort to create some level of certainty in an otherwise uncertain world, we believe this announcement demonstrates our continued confidence in our portfolio and the ability to earn our dividend at the current level over time through net investment income." (Source: Seeking Alpha, op. cit.)
Later in the company's June 2 earnings conference call, Capital Southwest Corporation's chief financial officer Michael Sarner added, "So we feel good about where our dividend is relative to our earnings power, but we'll probably hold that dividend constant relative to ever making a dividend cut."
And there you have it. Capital Southwest has solid financials, substantial insider ownership, and a strong focus on maintaining its oversized dividends. As it stands, CSWC stock could be one of the best high-yield BDCs on the market.

Toys & Nursery Show Blog
September show garners amazing reaction from childrens toy & gift industry
Reflecting on a successful Toy & Gift Show and Introducing exciting rebrand to INDX Toys & Nursery
The Independent Toy & Gift show resumed a much-awaited live format when it returned to Cranmore Park in Solihull on 14-15 September to unite the industry at the only UK Toy trade show of 2021.
The teams responsible for planning the show worked hard to ensure the well-being of all its visitors and exhibitors and despite the challenges of holding a live event, whilst maintaining Covid-19 measures, the show successfully delivered an exciting showcase of market leading brands and a friendly, professional environment conducive to placing orders.
The two-day event was backed by over 50 leading suppliers and was well attended by retailers from across the UK, with everyone keen to get back to business as usual. Exhibitors such as Nick Saunders from Brainstorm were among the first to herald the show a success:
"We had a great show. It was a fantastic tonic to be at the coal face again and actually talking to customers face-to-face!"
After a long absence of physical tradeshows, visiting buyers were also keen to provide glowing reviews:
"As the buyer for Wicked Uncle, I attend a lot of shows. From toy to gift, stationery, nursery, beauty, book fairs and more - in 2019 I visited a record 27 shows. Without doubt, The Indie Toy & Gift Show is my favourite by far. Smoothly run, with easy access, comfortable and welcoming, this is THE show of the year for me. It is so good to chat to suppliers in such a relaxed setting and we do some great business there, regularly place large orders. Simply the Best!" – Liam, Wicked Uncle
"A huge thank you for organising a terrific show! It was so wonderful to be able to see suppliers and products, many of them for the first time this year. There was a real buzz in the showroom" – Su Gill, Morley Stores

The welcome addition of Toys & Nursery will expand and strengthen the existing INDX Home portfolio which already includes Furniture, Housewares, Linens, Beds & Bedroom and Gift Food. (For further information please visit www.indxshows.co.uk)

Joy Duggar had her first baby less than a year ago, but that sure doesn't stop all of the speculations of her having another baby bump in any photos that are shared. However, a recent photo that was taken over the weekend may hold some truth to that rumor. Or it could just be that the reality star and her husband, Austin Forsyth, are having a bit of fun.
Duggar fans are relentless when it comes to zeroing in on baby bumps. Every time one of the married girls are seen in any loose clothing at all, they jump on the bandwagon asking if they are pregnant. Jessa Seewald just posted a bunch of photos on her Instagram account showing a fun ugly sweater contest that the family put on. You have to do a double take when it comes to the snapshot of Joy and Austin, the sixth in the Instagram multipost.
They don't really have ugly sweaters on, but they are sporting what appears to be protruding bellies. Joy is wearing a blue skirt with a striped sweater. If you look closely enough, it appears that you can spot just a small hint of a baby bump on her. However, it's the picture of Austin that has everyone roaring with laughter. He is almost completely unrecognizable with his hair slicked down. He is wearing a black and brown striped sweater underneath his blazer jacket, but it's his tummy that is the center of attention.
Austin actually has what appears to be a baby bump, or maybe he just wants it to look like a grandpa who has had way too much to eat. They are facing each other with their tummies slightly touching. Joy and Austin do read the comments left on their timeline, so they are aware on what's being said about the Duggar daughter possibly having a baby bump. Just recently, Joy denied being pregnant for a second time when a fan questioned her about it.
So, these two could have been poking fun at all of the speculations surrounding another child for them. Or it could be that they are trying to tell their fans something. Is Joy really pregnant and Austin's belly display is a baby announcement? That is probably not the story here, but it does look like they had tons of fun dressing up and posing for this hilarious photo.
The baby speculations will always continue when it comes to the Duggar family. However, there seems to be a baby announcement when you least expect it.

Excessive alcohol intake is associated with an elevated risk of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), heart failure, some cancers, and accidental injury, and is a leading cause of preventable death in industrialized countries. Some studies have suggested that one drink per day may have cardiovascular benefits. However, these studies are controversial, and the common view is that no level of alcohol consumption improves health. There is far more evidence for the harmful effects of alcohol than for any beneficial effects. It is also recognized that the alcohol industry may promote the unsubstantiated benefits of moderate drinking.

Alcohol intake and cardiovascular disease
Some early reviews showed that light alcohol consumption may have a protective effect on cardiovascular health. For instance, a meta-analysis from 2010 found that patients with cardiovascular disease who were light to moderate alcohol consumers, were less likely to suffer from cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. However, the researchers warned against encouraging cardiovascular patients who do not regularly consume alcohol to start drinking due to lack of controlled intervention studies and evidence.

Several possible mechanisms have been suggested for the cardioprotective effect of alcohol. These include glucose control, lipid metabolism, and metabolism as a whole. However, another possible explanation is that the cardioprotective effect is only a confounding research result. A logical possibility is that some of the alcohol abstainers in research studies previously drank excessively and had undermined their health. After they quit they were categorized as non-drinkers, which in turn lead to more sick people in the non-drinkers category. To test this hypothesis, a 2019 meta analysis has recategorized people accordingly. As a result, no benefit was found for alcohol consumption of any dosage, moreover, alcohol was detrimental to health even at low doses.

The American Heart Association states that drinking too much alcohol increases health risks including cardiovasular disease precursors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and also heart attacks and strokes. They warn that "We've all seen the headlines about studies associating light or moderate drinking with health benefits and reduced mortality. Some researchers have suggested there are health benefits from wine, especially red wine, and that a glass a day can be good for the heart. But there's more to the story. No research has proved a cause-and-effect link between drinking alcohol and better heart health.."

Alcohol reduction
It is well known that alcohol consumption increases the risk of hypertension. Hence, many clinical trials examined the effect of reduction in alcohol consumption on blood pressure. Systematic review and meta-analysis have shown that effect of alcohol reduction on blood pressure is dose dependent.

I. For people who consumed 2 or fewer drinks per day, blood pressure was not significantly decreased when they reduced alcohol consumption close to abstinence.
II. For people who consumed 3 or more drinks per day, blood pressure was significantly decreased when they reduced alcohol consumption close to abstinence.
III. For people who consumed 6 or more drinks per day, reduction rate on blood pressure was the strongest when they reduced alcohol consumption close to abstinence.
IV. The effect of alcohol reduction on blood pressure is still unclear for women and hypertensive patients who consume less than three drinks per day due to limited clinical trials.
