Lam Ching-Ying and undead friend
The local priest, played by Lam Ching-Ying (who also directed the movie), has his hands full with bat infestations, ghosts and vampires in his neighbourhood.
The Taoist priest hero and his two disciples
Okay, there isn't really a central plot-line to VAMPIRE VS VAMPIRE. Rather, it presents us with a series of occult happenings for our hero Lam to deal with.
She's a vamp!
You can always rely on Lam Ching-Ying to play a stoic, no-nonsense priest
An early set piece involves a 'palm tree spirit', which is enticed from it's green-leafed abode by tying some string to the toe of one of the priest's disciples.
Once attracted to the disciple's room, the spirit is revealed to be a red-garbed woman, who can become an animated red shadow. The spirit is dealt with, but more headaches lie ahead for the one-eyebrow Taoist priest.

So Yip plays the ghost in red
Don't mess with this priest…
A withered corpse becomes a western-style bloodsucker once the ruby hilt of a sword that transfixes it is removed. Gulping down the blood of a girl (there's a close-up shot of the corpse's Adam's apple bobbing up and down that is a novel-looking special makeup effect), the dried-up cadaver rapidly transforms into a fanged, caped European vampire. Lam gets involved, of course, and gives the undead dude a battering. He jams a coin sword into its eye socket, burns it with a flaming log, boots it… and then lobs a large nun onto the bloodsucker, so that it will get forced under the surface of some oily quicksand!

This dude obviously doesn't floss
Together with the westernised vampire (played by Frank Juhas), this Hong Kong picture adds several other Hammer-esque elements. For instance, a group of Christian nuns are introduced, living in a church. There are bats too, of the Hammer hanging-on-a-wire variety.
Nuns!
Actually, though most of the bats are obviously fake, there is a well-mounted bat siege on the nuns in the old church. Trapped in the room, the nuns must block off a doorway with planks, as the flying fiends attempt to bite their way in. Individually, the set pieces are actually quite novel and enjoyable but, as stated earlier, the film is too haphazard, lacking a central focus to the story.
Nuns in peril!

About the only on-going narrative thread is the continuing reappearance of a 'good' hopping vampire child, who regularly helps out Lam and his two pupils, although this kiddy-corpse only really serves as light relief.

Watchable fun while it's on, VAMPIRE VS VAMPIRE is not in the same league as other Hong Kong vampire flicks, such as MR. VAMPIRE (1985).

Challenges and Contradictions in the 'Normalising' of Precarious Work
Precarious work is increasingly considered the new 'norm' to which employment and social protection systems must adjust. This article explores the contradictions and tensions that arise from different processes of normalisation driven by social policies that simultaneously decommodify and recommodify labour. An expanded framework of decommodification is presented that identifies how the standard employment relationship (SER) may be extended and flexibilised to include those in precarious work, drawing examples from a recent study of precarious work across six European countries. These decommodification processes are found to be both partial and, in some cases, coexisting with activation policies that position precarious work as an alternative to unemployment, thereby recommodifying labour. Despite these challenges and contradictions, the article argues that a new vision of SER reform promises greater inclusion than alternative policy scenarios that give up on the regulation of employers and rely on state subsidies to mitigate against precariousness.

Apple hires new personnel for upcoming "iWatch"
By David Tom	 on July 15, 2013, 9:15
Although manufacturers including Sony and the Kickstarter-backed Pebble have already released their own smartwatches, consumers have patiently awaited Apple's response.
According to the Financial Times, the company has ratcheted up their development efforts by embarking on a hiring spree. Despite the optimism that this news brings, it also suggests that the "iWatch" might not reach store shelves until the end of 2014. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, declined to comment on the news; however, he did show enthusiasm towards wearable tech during an AllThingsD conference held in June. He described the emerging industry as both "incredibly interesting", as well as "ripe for exploration".
Some are wondering how Apple, a technology powerhouse, doesn't have the necessary expertise to develop a smartwatch on their own. Nevertheless, the "iWatch" is expected to be its first new product category since the passing of Steve Jobs, and Apple wants the launch to be absolutely perfect. A source familiar with the hirings says the Cupertino-based firm has faced "hard engineering problems that they've not been able to solve."
As a result, Apple has made efforts to acquire smaller startups that are working on related projects. Often called "aqui-hires", this practice has become commonplace across the tech sector. In addition to recruiting the industry's top engineers, Apple has also placed a focus on design and aesthetics. The company recently hired Paul Deneve, the former CEO of fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, to aid Apple with "special projects".
It'll be interesting to see how the eventual "iWatch" fairs in the market. Not only does Apple face competition from existing products, but they must also outmatch upcoming smartwatches from Google and Samsung. The big question remains: can Apple still produce innovative devices, even without Steve Jobs at the helm?

METRO Supermarkets | Eat for energy!
There are certain foods that are not only very nutritious, but can also help boost our energy levels. Apart from fruit and vegetables, that are tremendous sources of energy e.g. bananas, apples and leafy vegetables, the following 10 foods will give you energy!
Fatty fish like salmon and tuna are good sources of protein, fatty acids and B vitamins, making them great foods to include in your diet. Some studies determined that taking omega-3 supplements could decrease fatigue, especially in cancer patients and those recovering from cancer. Furthermore, vitamin B12 works together with folic acid to produce red blood cells and help iron work better in the body as well as reduce fatigue and increase energy.
Besides being delicious, sweet potatoes are a nutritious source of energy for those looking for an extra boost. Sweet potatoes' fiber content and complex carbs, help your body digests them at a slow pace, which provides you with a steady supply of energy.
Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content than regular or milk chocolate. The antioxidants in cocoa have been shown to have many health benefits, such as increasing blood flow throughout the body. This effect helps the delivery of oxygen to the brain and muscles, which improves their functions. This can be especially helpful during exercise.
Goji berries have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries due to their multiple benefits. Besides being packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, this fruit is known to be a good source of fiber. Research has suggested that goji berry juice could provide antioxidant protection, assist with mental performance and alertness, help decrease feelings of fatigue, slow down digestion and release energy slowly.
Quinoa is a seed popular for its high protein content. Even though this superfood is high in carbohydrates, it has a low glycemic index, which indicates that its carbs are absorbed slowly and can provide sustained energy release.
Yogurt is an excellent snack to fuel up your day. The carbs in yogurt are mainly in the form of simple sugars, such as lactose and galactose. When broken down, these sugars can provide ready-to-use energy. Additionally, yogurt is packed with protein, which helps slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, thereby slowing down the release of sugars into the blood.
Hummus is made with chickpeas, sesame seed paste, oil and lemon. The combination of these ingredients makes hummus a good source of energy. Chickpeas in hummus are a good source of complex carbs and fiber that the body uses for steady energy.
Lentils are a good source of nutrients and help boost energy levels. The fiber in lentils promotes more controlled increases in blood sugar levels. Therefore, you will not only feel full for longer after you eat them, but you can also expect steady energy levels.
Avocados are considered to be a superfood because of all their significant health benefits, for example, they're rich in healthy fats and fiber. These healthy fats have been shown to promote optimal blood fat levels and enhance the absorption of nutrients. They can also be stored in the body and used as energy sources.
Most nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews are known for their high calories and abundance of proteins, carbs and healthy fats. These nutrients can provide you with a slow release of energy during the day. They are also high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants that can increase energy levels and help with inflammation and antioxidant protection.


I love this time of year! I call it "The Official Christmas Carol" season, because every year right after Thanksgiving, we start a 'Christmas Carol Marathon' in our home. Every day we listen to carols for at least 3-4 hours, and on the weekends it goes on all day long! Whaaat??? Well, for me there is no stress a cheerful carol can't cure, so I see it pretty much like taking a daily dose of happy pills! Otherwise, with all the chaos of holiday decorating, shopping, wrapping, more shopping and more wrapping, anyone can go insane… right?
This year, in honor of our annual Christmas Carol Marathon, I decided to make a Christmas carol sign for our home. As I wanted to use something different than a slab of wood, I chose this wooden sled that I got for $2 at a tag sale this summer.
I started by sanding off the previous NOEL painting on the sled. Once I got rid of that oil painting, I painted the sled with my homemade chalk paint in custom matched to Old White color. After the paint dried, I distressed it a little bit.
is one of my best investments in crafting tools. Especially during the holiday season, it becomes very handy for making boxes and personalized tags, creating stencils, etc.
helps your stencil design stay in its original form, and makes it really so easy to place any vinyl stencil on any surface.
dried, which takes about 10 minutes with the amount I apply, I started stenciling. I generally use a sponge for stenciling and use only a tiny bit of paint. I like building up the actual color layer by layer so I won't need to distress later on.
After I was finished with the stenciling, I slowly took the stencil off the surface. To finish, I gave it a coat of water based poly and I hot glued three mini red jingle bells on top of the berries.
Here is a close up picture of our merry little sled.
I love it so much that I made a similar printable for our bedroom.
So what do you think of my printable? I think that also turned out pretty good.

John Pilson
Nicole Klagsbrun
Times have changed since John Pilson's last New York exhibition, which had been open a week when the attacks on World Trade Center gave his photographs and videos—shot in the North Tower, where he'd had a studio—an unasked-for mythic quality. In work in that show and elsewhere, Pilson had cast the towers as the ultimate foil for his dadaist scenes of businessmen singing, balls bouncing in stairwells, and children playing in deserted offices. But now that the towers are gone, and with them, perhaps, our ability to see much humor in their negative portrayal, the artist's subversion of the corporate latemodern "grid" has matured into a quieter, more sympathetic expression of the relation between worker and architecture.
The subject of much of the work in Pilson's recent show is a more intimately scaled, older space—in fact, the site of another studio. In the exquisite looped short Alternate Ending (all works 2003), a lantern is raised smoothly through the dark, narrow stairwell of a '30s-era office building, the intricate fretwork of banisters casting streaming, lacy shadows. As the lantern passes a frosted-glass door lit from behind, the camera zooms in on the nameplate, which, black against the light, is impossible to read. An eerie sense that the building's brain lies behind that door is enhanced by the lantern, which moves like a laparoscope withdrawing from an esophagus—though the mysterious scene is less clinical than evocative of a certain subconscious vulnerability.
Elsewhere, particularly in black-and-white photographs of details of that same building, Pilson continues to pinpoint fragments of romance in the urban setting. These cropped views of tiles and table legs are timely and resigned steps away from sheer alienation and toward a wistful, uncertain homeyness. The principal video here, St. Denis, is also filled with longing. Pilson's camera follows a woman into the ladies' room, where she shakes out her hair, lights a cigarette, and plays a mournful song on a pink and white accordion that matches the room's tile. A cutaway shot of a print on the wall of geese in flight over a mountain identifies her desire as peculiarly urban. Later, in a hallway, another woman paces as she describes the conditions under which she is able to fall asleep (it must be absolutely silent; she must be wearing pajamas . . .). Her topic presages the final scenes of the video, in which a man, presumably the superintendent, taps on office doors to ensure that everyone has left for the day—he's putting the building to bed. The video ends as he turns out the lights, proceeds to a poster-plastered basement lair, changes into a colorful shirt and white cap, and leaves—a sort of embodiment of the building's soul. In a vaguely unsettling surveillance-like shot of stairs (a Pilson staple), two men and a woman join upraised palms and quietly chant, sharing a New Age moment that feels like an exorcism—or an effort to wake the building (perhaps a dreamed extension of themselves) out of its dead sleep.
Pilson's parsing of the individual into moments of longing and need is reminiscent of Bruce Nauman's reduction of his protagonists into Beckettian caricatures of aggression and desire. But Pilson, at least in his recent work, does not share Nauman's ambivalence toward his subjects. Dark Empire, a twenty-five-minute shot of the Empire State Building at sunset during the August blackout, crystallizes the earnestness of Pilson's position: Unlike the glittering tower that Warhol captured in Empire, which its maker described as "Flash Gordon riding into space," Pilson's lonely, dark silhouette expresses only existential isolation and New York's vulnerability to the grid. With his sensitivity to the intimacy that exists between New York and its inhabitants, Pilson is a model witness to the city's fluctuations and rebirth.

Mapping and radiofrequency ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia after the Senning or Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries
George F. Van Hare, Michael D. Lesh, Bertrand A. Ross, James C. Perry, Parvin C. Dorostkar
Pediatrics - Pediatric Cardiology
The Senning and Mustard procedures are often associated with the development of atrial tachyarrhythmias, which may be a cause of sudden death. We hypothesized that atrial surgery creates barriers to impulse propagation, establishing potential routes for atrial reentry, and that mapping combined with knowledge of the surgical anatomy could identify zones that are critical to the tachycardia to be targeted for radiofrequency catheter ablation. Patients underwent mapping to identify early sites of atrial activation that were related to anatomic or surgically created obstacles, with confirmation by pacing to demonstrate concealed entrainment. Radiofrequency lesions were placed to connect these obstacles, while observing for tachycardia termination. Thirteen tachycardias were attempted in 10 patients, 10 successfully. Three patients had 2 distinct tachycardias. Successful sites were in right atrial tissue, although in many, a retrograde approach to the pulmonary venous atrium was necessary. Ablation of the clinically documented tachycardia was successful in 9 of 10 patients. The most common successful site was the region of the coronary sinus mouth, approached antegrade or retrograde. Ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardias after the Senning or Mustard procedure is feasible using concealed entrainment mapping techniques, but requires a detailed knowledge of the individual surgical anatomy and the ability to approach the pulmonary venous atrium. Radiofrequency ablation offers significant advantages over other management modalities in this patient group.

With summer on the horizon, you may be getting ready to put away your wool socks and winter boots. That is because this coming season means that it is time for you to take out your sandals. Furthermore, is there a better way to prep for this sandal season than by prepping your feet. That is because nothing makes your feet look gorgeous than a pedicure. However, we understand that not every individual has the time to get their nails done by professionals. Furthermore, some may even be unwilling to shell out the money to a professional. In that case what you need to do is get your nails done at home. We know that many think that this is a complicated task. But if you know what you have to do it would be a piece of cake.
Soak Any foot specialist Gold Coast would be able to tell you that your first step should be to clean your nails. We understand that many think that simply removing nail polish and having a shower is enough. But that is not true. Instead what you need to do is soak your feet for a couple of minutes. In order to do this fill a basin with some warm water and soap. Thereafter you can simply dip your feet into the water and soak them. However, make sure not to soak it too much. Ideally, we would advise you to remove your feet after about five minutes.
ScrubOnce your feet are wet it would be easier for you to file it. Thus, that is why you are advised to soak it for a couple of minutes. However, remember that you don't have to file your entire foot. Instead simply focus on the rougher areas. That is because otherwise you may be forced to visit the podiatrist Southport for damaging your feet.
ScrubWe understand that many of you use a scrub on your face at least twice a week. You do this in order to remove dry and dead skin cells. Thus similarly when giving yourself a pedicure you also have to use a scrub. This would help you to remove any dry and rough skin that may have been caused by the cold weather.
Cut & Polish Thereafter all you have to do is cut and shape your toenails. Furthermore, we would also advise you to push back your cuticles. But you need to be careful when doing this because you can damage yourself. Thus, then the last step would be to apply a nail polish.Therefore you can now see how easy it is to do a pedicure at home.

Glen Pourciau
I'd been watching the situation develop from my home-office window. My friend Les across the street had been having a time with his next-door neighbors, the Stallcups. The Stallcups were raving drunks who regularly opened their front door and turned their retriever, Cleveland, loose to do his business wherever he chose. Cleveland was especially fond of Les's yard and Les had spoken to the Stallcups about it, but they were oblivious to his concern and nothing changed. My yard had been dumped on a few times, and once when Stallcup emerged to call Cleveland back in, I went out and asked him if he would pick up Cleveland's deposit. "No," he said and snapped his fingers at his dog and went inside with him.
It was on a Saturday morning that something happened that made things worse. I was sitting at my desk when I saw the Stallcups' front door open and Cleveland trot out. The Stallcups' daughter, Misty, was riding her bike on the sidewalk at the time, and Les was doing some work in his flowerbeds. A workman's van was parked in front of his house, and the workman had set an open toolbox down in his yard. Cleveland loped up to the toolbox, sniffing, then lifted his leg and unleashed a stream on the tools. Misty put on her brakes and let out a laugh, and Les looked over his shoulder and saw what was happening. He stood and shouted at Cleveland to get away from the tools, but the dog didn't stop, and Les said something to Misty. His anger scared her, and she jumped right off her bike and ran away from him into the house.
I got my camera out and went to the window, anticipating that the Stallcups might react. Less than a minute later Stallcup bolted out the door with a cocktail in hand, some of his drink sloshing from the glass as he rushed to confront Les. He began shouting and Les shouted back, pointing at the tools and at Cleveland, who was still roaming around in his yard. His mouth still moving, Stallcup put his finger on the tip of Les's nose, and Les pushed his hand aside and leaned in and said something to him. Stallcup then rubbed his hand in Les's face and shoved him backwards. Les stumbled, his glasses turned sideways on his face, and fell to the ground.
Francine Stallcup charged outside and joined her husband in yelling at Les, who was pushing himself up. Les tried to answer their loud lecture, but neither of them had any interest in hearing him. Francine appeared unsteady on her feet, her waving arms throwing her off balance. Finally they started to back away, but even as they retreated they kept chewing at Les.
I called Les's cell number, knowing he usually kept the phone in his pocket. I saw him take it out and heard him say hello.
"I've got video of him knocking you down," I told him. "You could use it as evidence."
"I'll give it some thought," he said.
Les did talk to the police, but decided not to press the complaint. He figured it would make the Stallcups madder, and he didn't want to escalate the situation.
But the Stallcups were mad enough without the complaint. After that day they made it their mission to harass Les. Sometimes it was Stallcup, but usually Francine led the charge. Les told me that one of their topics was that Misty was now afraid to come out and play for fear of what Les might say or do to her. Sometimes Francine would follow Cleveland out and pace back and forth as he shopped for real estate. If Les even looked at her or Cleveland, she'd come toward him with her mouth running at top speed, threatening to get even if he ever said a word to Misty or the dog.
On one of these occasions Francine wouldn't let up and Les shouted an answer at her. She came toward him and they stood yelling at each other, and soon Stallcup raced up to Francine's side. I mounted the camera on a tripod and left it running. I went out my door and headed toward them, shouting Stallcup's name as I crossed the street.
"What's this got to do with you?" he wanted to know.
Francine told me it was none of my business and I should be careful who I stood up for.
I went up to Stallcup, took his arm and asked him to step aside with me. He yanked his arm away and held it up in the air as if I'd contaminated it, but he followed. His breath was foul from drinking and from anger rotting whatever he had in his stomach.
"Is this what you want to do?" I asked.
"Your point is?"
"I know some things about what goes on in your house," I said. "Unless you want me to tell everybody around here what I know, you'd better ease up on Les."
I didn't know anything, didn't know what I was talking about, but Stallcup looked worried. All I had was long-held but unfounded suspicions about Misty. She was fat for her age, which I estimated to be around seven. She kept her head down and her eyes averted, and she had a damaged look. But that could have come from nothing more than living with a couple of drunks.
"What do you know?" he asked, trying to sound brave.
"It's up to you if you want to find out. Another thing. You see that camera in the window over there? I have all your conversations with Les on video, including the one when you knocked him down. You know, video has a way of getting around these days."
Stallcup gave me a lingering look. "That's enough, Francine," he said then. "We've delivered our message."
Francine started to argue with him, but he looked at her in a way that silenced her. They went home.
"I told him I had video of him knocking you down," I said to Les. "I couldn't stay over there and watch it anymore."
"I don't know what you said, but I hope I'm not the one who has to pay for it."
Things stayed quiet for a while, but one Monday evening Les came out to pull some weeds, a couple of hours of daylight left. I was still at my desk. The Stallcups' front door opened and Cleveland bounded outside and went directly to Les's yard as if trained to be attracted by its scent. He nosed the ground and then squatted and tensed and dropped his stuff. Les tossed his weeding tool aside and took a few hurried steps toward Cleveland and shooed him away. I already had my camera running. Francine ran out the door and came straight at Les, yelling, her right arm behind her. When she neared Les she extended her arm and pointed a gun at him and, without hesitating, shot him in the forehead. He staggered, then toppled over, and Francine continued to taunt him after he fell.
I grabbed my phone and called 911, the camera still running. As I described what I'd witnessed I saw Stallcup run outside, shouting at Francine, and she shouted at him, shaking the gun over her head. They both appeared to be drunk and they kept pointing at Les, who didn't move. Stallcup looked all around him, perhaps hoping no one had seen or heard. Then he looked at my window. He got hold of Francine and they went inside.
I saw Misty standing at their front window, her eyes on Les, and I put the camera on her. Stallcup snatched her up from behind and carried her away from the window and the camera. She struggled in his grasp, swinging her fists. I wished I could have seen her face more clearly, but that image and those I'd recorded could never tell enough.
What would happen to her, I wondered. Would she become a drinker? If you stood in front of her, would she look you in the eye? Would she devote herself to eating, swelling with the memory of the price Les had paid and memories I'd only guessed at?

Q: How can I compare sorting methods? Ram usage, Time taken I have a science fair project I am doing this year and I wanted to do something with computers. I decided to take multiple sorting algorithms (Insertion, selection and bubble) and compare how long they take to sort data and how much ram they used doing it.
I was wondering how can I look at how long it takes to sort and how much ram is used? Is there a program that will do this for me?
Any help would be appreciated.

A: If you are using C/C++, you can use valgrind

There is an insidious form of political censorship creeping over Waiheke.
When you combine the loss of public ammenities, a biased, ideologically driven media and a local board that treats the public with disdain while declaring itself 'transparent', then you begin to see the death of democracy and a growing autocracy.
Monopolistic power manifests in both collection and use of resources.
Democratic institutions face stronger constraints compared to nondemocracies.
Consequently autocracies are able to consume a bigger amount of resources but the consumption is mainly devoted to political supporters, increasing entry barriers to the political arena.
Democracies on the other side, despite not completely isolated from encompassing interests, are more exposed to the demand of a representative majority.
The exposure takes the form of more progressive redistributional policies, namely public good transfers along the rich-poor axis.
The direction of the current local board is patently 'transparent'.
It has become a cancer. If we don't remove it, it will continue to grow!
I kind of hope they do take away the Ostend hall from the market.
Many voters would then definitely know the LWB caused this.
They would then vote them out in the next election.
Thank you for all your research and publications.

Q: Cordova plugins not working when using Framework7 I am making a Cordova app using Framework7 for iOS/Android. I'm trying to add the social sharing plugin and the barcode scanner plugin but the plugin functions can not be called. However when I made a Cordova app with plain HTML and JS (without Framework7) the plugins would work. Is there anything I have to modify on the Framework7 side to enable these Cordova plugins to work?

A: cordova.js file need not be there in your project root directory. Everytime you do a particular platform build, it gets automatically created in the platform build's project root directory.
For instance, if you build android platform using 'cordova build android' command, the cordova.js file will be generated under 'platforms\android\assets\www' folder. This js file is very much required to use any of the cordova plugins as it is the one which is responsible for triggering 'onDeviceReady' event once the cordova is ready and all plugins are loaded. You can also have a look at the generated file once to get more info on the same. Hope it helps.


One woman's amazing journey out of back pain.
For many years I would occasionally suffer a stiffness in my lower back and pain in buttock. Although painful, it would pass in a few days and I would forget about it and carry on. I didn't know why I had it or what caused it until I consulted a physiotherapist when the pain became much worse.
During my pregnancies I had lower back pain. However, after the birth of my second child I suffered chronic pain for 3 years, stiffness in my lower back and spasms from buttock all the way down the back of my leg and into my foot.
I would have attacks that lasted for several weeks, which became more painful over time. I was limping, I couldn't run, I was unable to sit for more than a few minutes at a time and I could only sleep on the on the floor, waking every hour or two with horrendous spasms. My GP prescribed me Amitriptyline. The medication did help ease some of the pain, but it wasn't a solution, it only masked the problem. Being in constant pain I was feeling low and I couldn't go to work and struggled with everything; very hard when you have 2 little children to take care of. As a result I became exhausted and very unfit, which made my problems even worse, it was a vicious cycle.
When I started the YHLB course,(spring 2017) I was taking medication for sciatic pain and I was incredibly unfit with bad posture.
I loved the course; it was like First Aid for the back. I learned lots of postures over the 12 week course, and I still use a few which I feel really benefit me. I regularly used to wake up with a stiff back, but now I know how to relieve the tension with my favorite stretches.
Gradually through the course, my back improved tremendously and I stopped taking medication. I was so impressed that when the course finished I took up regular Yoga, which I practice on a daily basis at home. I believe that Yoga was the best thing I could do to get me back into good health, improving my posture, strength, balance and well being. I loved the relaxation CD we got to do at home.
The YHLB course has greatly exceeded my expectations. My teacher Barbara was amazing and so helpful and I absolutely would recommend anyone with back pain to do this course.
I have got my life back, from Exhausted with Chronic pain, to feeling Fit, Strong, Healthy and Happy!
A new friend on the Yoga course persuaded me to do netball with her (which I never dreamt I would do). I then realised that I love team sports. This gave me new confidence, so I joined a ladies cricket team too which is so much fun. My stamina and fitness levels have improved beyond belief.
I still practice Yoga daily, I cycle as much as I can, oh and I have just hired myself a personal trainer to help me achieve my true potential. Anything is possible with a healthy back!
Toni's fantastic story is a reminder that back pain and sciatica should not be conditions you suffer with endlessly. It is really possible to make BIG changes in the SHORT space of time that this programme takes. After teaching YHLB over the last 4 years, I know that many people come to the YHLB programme after years of suffering back pain and make big and long lasting improvements. Working with Toni, I could see in the initial weeks that she was dealing with significant pain. With some postures, I used some modification to help her be comfortable in the Yoga sessions. She persevered, used the short practices at home and I could see over the weeks that things were improving for her and her back. These improvements rippled out through her life too so that she could get back to living how she wanted to.
YHLB was developed for a research study funded by Arthritis Research UK and undertaken by the University of York to look at the effectiveness of Yoga in low back pain.
At the time of the research is was the largest randomised control trial conducted on Yoga with 313 participants and in 2018 it is still one of the largest.
YHLB is a social enterprise set up to share this ground-breaking project for the benefit of those with back pain and sciatica and for wider social benefit.

AmCham wants coalition of film industries
By Choi Kyong-ae, Staff Reporter
A reduction in the mandatory screening days for domestic films would pave the way for a coalition between the film industries of South Korea and the United States, said Tami Overby, president of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Korea, Wednesday.
``The reduction in the screen quota will spur the coalition between Korea and Hollywood. That's mainly because of Korea's great contents and Hollywood's advanced distribution technologies,'' the AmCham president said.
Korea has shown the willingness and ability to make the difficult decision to move towards an open market economy, the president said. Last month, the Seoul government announced that it will cut the obligatory screening days for local films to 73 days from the current 146 days, raising a strong opposition from the local film industry.
As for the Korea-US FTA, she said the AmCham is ``extremely positive'' about the results of the negotiations given strenuous efforts by the two governments to iron out differences.
``As for the U.S. government, it should go through a three-month deliberation period and get an approval from Congress before the negotiation process can begin. So the three-month period is not negotiable,'' Tami said.
During the time, she continued to say both governments and industrial sectors would be active in those three months in deciding what the most important factors in the FTA would be.
If the U.S. trade promotion authority expires in June next year, she explained, U.S. negotiators might ask for amendments in the current bilateral agreement not in Korea's interests and it might take more time to sign it.
When asked if the 11-month period is too short to conclude the pact, Tami said that AmCham expects positive results from it as Seoul and Washington are strong willed to strike the deal.
AmCham made it clear that although agriculture on both sides will be a very large challenge for the talks, both sides are working very hard to develop an agreement that is equally fair.
``I think it is really encouraging that both governments have spent almost a year in preparatory planning for that. There has been a meeting between our two governments where they have gone over, chapter by chapter, each fact of the FTA, and both governments clearly understand what is involved,'' she said.
The Korea-Chile FTA took about four years to negotiate but it was primarily because it was Korea's first attempt to do real FTA. Korean negotiators must have learned a lot of valuable insight, so future FTAs for Korea will go faster and will be much more comprehensive, she added.

Rape survivor launches legal challenge after attacker is granted joint custody of son
By Natalie Cornish| 3 years ago
Christopher Mirasolo. Photo: Michigan Department of Corrections
A rape survivor who fell pregnant by her attacker when she was 12 has launched a legal battle after a judge awarded him joint custody of their child.
In what's thought to be a legal first in the states, child sex offender Christopher Mirasolo, now 27, became a co-parent after a paternity test revealed he was the eight-year-old boy's father following a claim for child support from the state.
According to The Detroit News, Judge Gregory Ross granted Mirasolo access last week, and provided him with his victim's home address.
She has now been told to leave Florida, where she is currently living, and move back to Michigan so he can co-parent or be considered in contempt of court.
The case has unsurprisingly sparked outrage, and the woman has now filed a counter claim to overturn the ruling.
Mirasolo was 18 when he met his 12-year-old victim and her 13-year-old sister in a park.
She told police he had forcibly raped her while holding the siblings captive for two days.
He was arrested and charged when she revealed she was pregnant a month later. The offence carries a 25 year minimum term, but he entered in to a plea deal on a minor charge of attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct and was sentenced to just a year behind bars. He served just half, before being freed to care for his sick mother.
Once released, Mirasolo sexually assaulted another teenage girl and was jailed for a further four years.
Under the terms of his parole, his name appears on the child sex offender register and he is not allowed to be alone with children.
The woman's attorney Rebecca Kiessling told the newspaper the case was "insane" and breached the Rape Survivor Child Custody Act.
"Nothing has been right about this since it was originally investigated. He was never properly charged and should still be sitting behind bars somewhere, but the system is victimising my client, who was a child herself when this all happened."
Mirasolo's lawyer, Barbara Yockey said her client had not initiated the "routine" claim for custody by the prosecutor's office.
She added that it was unclear whether he planned to co-parent the child.
A hearing will take place later this month.

We've been planning a new product launch here at Upp B2B HQ for the best part of the last six months. A launch to push out a new 'packaged' offer for one of our core business areas which we hope will fill a gap in the market and which will resonate with b2b marketers and business-owners alike. As a team we're excited as we've mused, discussed, challenged and deliberated over every aspect of our new product based on some sound insight and market research.
It's been a real labour of love. So much so that we've probably dragged our heels a bit, in our efforts to 'perfect' the end product before we release it on its way to market. As we're all first and foremost marketers at heart, our marketing and launch strategy has been central to our plotting and planning from the very outset. However, this got me thinking about how many b2b businesses approach their product and service launches from this same perspective.
According to recent research by the CBI, 60–70% of new product launches in the UK fail. A harsh statistic that even the most entrepreneurial of businesses must stop and consider when looking to invest time, money and resources in new ventures. From my reading, it would appear that the biggest problem driving this statistic is a lack of preparation for the promotion phase. As companies are so focused on designing and manufacturing new products and services, they can often put off the hard work of getting ready to market them until too late in the game, causing shortcuts and badly informed marketing decisions.
Another key reason for product launches failing in my opinion, is that often when a new product or service defines a new market category, it can require major investment of time and resources in educating consumers which it often doesn't get. The fact is, that no matter how great a new solution you have created, if the people you want to buy it don't quickly grasp how to use the product to serve their needs then it's never going to take flight.
Similarly, no matter how revolutionary you believe your product or service is, if there's no clear market for it, your sales will flat line, and quickly. So don't gloss over the basics at the early stage of product development i.e. who will buy this product and at what price? How big is the potential market and is it big enough for us to make a good profit margin? Thinking these essentials through early on will pay dividends enabling you to shape your go to market strategy with confidence.
But it's not all doom and gloom of course – companies who develop a great new product or service which addresses a new, growing or changing market need can go on to be overnight masters of their own universe. But to achieve this, what do you need to keep front of mind when the lightbulb moment strikes for you or one of your colleagues?
1. In your own mind think about your product launch as a process rather than as an individual momentous 'event' i.e. a set date when said product or service will be cast out into the world for the first time. The best new product launches aren't always 'big bang' – soft launches can be just as effective, if not more so in the longer term.
2. When it comes to new product and service launches timing can be everything and can sometimes be the difference between success and failure. The timing of your launch may be dictated by a set deadline or event, but even so, you should always think about what's going on in the wider world. Key holiday times, religious festivals, year-end or year start, the wrong season (where there's a seasonal bias to your offer) are examples of a few timing issues you need to be aware of before pressing the green button.
3. Don't be afraid to make changes as you go – this isn't a sign of failure of getting your product right in the first place – it's just natural evolution as part of your 'real' market testing. The same applies to the marketing of your new product. You may not get the early results you forecast for a multitude of reasons, but where something you put faith in really isn't working, be bold and rethink.
4. Get your new product or service into the hands and heads of as many important influencers as you can in the early stages of your market launch – friendly customers and clients, intermediaries and potential channel partners or even industry bloggers and PRs. By encouraging these people to 'trial' what you have to offer and to spread the word on your behalf, you can gauge initial market reaction and get some early free publicity.
5. Offer limited free product or service trials to carefully selected prospects on the basis that they can then act as a case study or testimonial if they like what you have to offer. You can then also encourage uptake following the trial by offering a too good to refuse incentive for their first order or early months of use.
6. Don't forget your most important new product launch audience – your internal one. If your own employees aren't fully briefed on your new offer and how it fits in the market, then how will they be able to deal with questions from potential customers? Get your own team excited about the launch and maybe even incentivise them all to play a part in driving early interest – it's not just your sales team you need on board to make a product launch a success, so think wider.
7. Get your customer value proposition nailed early in the process of product or service development and make sure it's clear to understand when you launch to market. If you're confused about the exact benefits of your offer, or if you're not sure what compelling 'value' your product or service will deliver to the market you're looking to target, then maybe your idea isn't as strong as you think. So stop and rethink.
8. Give your product or service a strong visual identity but don't let this overshadow the product promise. If your product looks great it may enjoy early sales success, but if it doesn't deliver on expectations this will be short-lived. However tempting it is to over-inflate your product or service in your 'packaging' this is a sure fire way to set your audience up for disappointment.
9. Ensure all your new product or service 'touch points' are well thought through and set up to convert inbound enquiries. It's no good having an all-singing, all-dancing PR or advertising campaign as part of your launch plan if your website home page isn't clearly signposting where inbound enquirers can find out more about your new offer. You may have a well-structured landing page to manage enquiries from direct mail or advertising, but don't assume that all enquirers will remember the URL. It's more likely they'll recall your company name and visit your main web home page as their first port of call. So make sure they can quickly and easily find your new product offer if it's sitting alongside other more established offers.
10. Above all remember to K-I-S-S (Keep It Simple, Stupid) when it comes to your initial launch. You will have lived and breathed this new product or service for some time, so you'll understand everything there is to know about it; every nuance; every small flaw; and every benefit you believe it offers. When you push your product out to market, this will likely be the first time your audience has come into contact with your offer, so, any initial promotions need to keep this front of mind. If you over complicate the technical aspects of the product early in the engagement cycle for example, you could lose orders before they're even placed. Similarly, presenting a premature list of terms and conditions could turn a customer off when their interest is just registering…so save this for down the line when you're about to sign them up.
Launching new products and services is the lifeblood of many successful b2b businesses, which continually look for new ways to innovate in line with changing market demands. Those who come up with new original ideas aren't however always the best people in the team to shape the go to market strategy, as being too close can sometimes create blind spots about product or service flaws which others may more easily pick up on. So involve marketers in your new product or service development early in the process we're hard-wired to challenge, question and think buyer first.
An alert marketing brain will question everything from market research influencing product design to price point, target audience segmentation and planned promotional spend to achieve the desired results, so use us marketers as an early sounding board, we may just be the difference between success and failure.
