Concrete repairs and decorative, anti-carbonation protection.
Boathouse 4 is an iconic building within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard which was constructed during the 1930's rearmament period. It forms part of the UK's maritime heritage and was used during World War II to construct the three man midget X-Craft submarine. In 2014, Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (PNBPT) received a £3.75m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to transform the historic building into the Boatbuilding and Heritage Skills Training Centre. The Centre opened its doors to the public in April 2015 and a series of courses are delivered by the International Boatbuilding Training College Portsmouth and Highbury College. Visitors can view exhibitions and see traditional boatbuilding take place. The Centre is also offering bursaries for local unemployed people to complete a year's full time traditional boatbuilding training.
Both internal and external concrete repairs were required. A large wall area also needed anti-carbonation protection and it was important that any products chosen were able to tolerate the chloride-laden environment.
Following thorough preparation, Steel Reinforcement Protector 841 was applied to the re-bars and a number of Flexcrete cementitious repair mortars were then applied in different areas. Fastfill was used in areas where rapid setting repairs were a priority and Monolite was used where an ultra high build, lightweight, non-shrink cementitious mortar was required. Both can be applied up to 100mm in a single application and only require the addition of clean water on-site. Monomix HD was used where outstanding abrasion resistance was required. As all of Flexcrete's mortars are waterborne, non-hazardous and virtually odourless, they could be safely applied during the refurbishment works whilst other trades continued as normal.
Monodex Ultra – an anti-carbonation coating with a design life of 10 years before first maintenance – was subsequently used on all concrete elevations both internally and externally. Monodex Ultra is very fast-drying, allowing two coat applications on the same day and it offers a cost-effective solution for the internal or external refurbishment of buildings. It incorporates an active biocide which inhibits the growth of mould and lichens, ensuring the coating retains a clean, attractive appearance throughout its lifespan. Monodex Ultra is available in a range of attractive colours and white was chosen for this project.
Flexcrete's Monodex Smooth anti-carbonation coating protects the external walls of the Venlaw Building in Glasgow, Scotland.
Flexcrete's Monodex Ultra anti-carbonation coating was chosen for the decorative protection of 22,000m² precast concrete facade.
Flexcrete's anti-carbonation coating gives decorative protection of balconies, ring beams and other areas at University of Salford's Student Village in Manchester.

Agra Ventures' Boundary Bay Cannabis JV Receives Over $910,000 in Purchase Orders in Last 3 Months
While Boundary Bay Cannabis Received Demand for Over 725,000 Grams of High-Quality Bulk Cannabis in Just 90 Days, Wholesale Prices Remain Low Due to Excess Supply and Other Industry Factors
Vancouver, British Columbia / November 29, 2022 (Globe Newswire) – Agra Ventures Ltd. ("AGRA" or the "Company") (CSE: AGRA) (OTC: AGFAF), a growth-oriented and diversified company focused on the international cannabis industry, announces that the Propagation Services Canada Inc. joint venture of which it owns 70%, which is currently doing business as "Boundary Bay Cannabis" ("BBC" or the "Joint Venture"), has received approximately $910,000 worth of purchase orders for its cannabis since August 31, 2022. The purchase orders were received from multiple parties and represent a total of over 725,000 grams of processed product.
BBC's strategy continues to be the growing and selling of bulk cannabis on a wholesale basis to other licensed producers across Canada. The greenhouse complex in Delta, BC, within which the Joint Venture operates, provides a strong opportunity for BBC to be as competitive as possible in the Canadian cannabis industry. However, declining market prices; rising labour and energy expenses; and the ongoing high cost of maintaining regulatory compliance are making it difficult for licensed producers like BBC to operate unless Health Canada's review of the Cannabis Act yields some significant and imminent improvements.
"I'd like to thank the staff and BBC's sales agent for doing their part to grow great cannabis and secure these purchase orders. Together, these orders represent a significant milestone for the Joint Venture in both their total cannabis volume and aggregate dollar amount," said Nick Kuzyk, Interim CEO, AGRA Ventures Ltd. "As the Joint Venture's sole director, I would also like to sincerely thank BBC's clients for their business at this important time," added Mr. Kuzyk.
Agra Ventures is a growth-oriented and diversified company focused on the international cannabis industry. The company is dedicated to the cultivation, distribution and marketing of high-quality cannabis and cannabis-infused products worldwide. Agra Ventures' primary asset in Canada is Boundary Bay Cannabis located in Delta, BC, which is one of the largest cannabis greenhouse facilities focused on the cost-optimized cultivation of high-potency cannabis. Abroad, the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Farmako GmbH, is focused on becoming Europe's leading distributor of medical cannabis. Farmako currently has active product distribution operations in Germany and is fully licensed in the United Kingdom.

Usually parents, with the help of their general dentist, will have an idea of whether their children will need orthodontic treatment. It is important for children to see a dentist and at about the age of 7 a referral to see an orthodontist is appropriate.
By age 7, the back adult molars have started to come through and this will gives the orthodontist an idea of what treatment may be necessary.
Although braces are the most common form of treatment, there are other options that can be used also, such as structured plates and fixed frames each with specific benefits for your child's teeth and surrounding bone structure.
Often younger children may need a growth modifying plate which is used during your child's growth spurt to ensure that the maximum benefit is achieved.
Even if early intervention is not needed, your child can be monitored over time ensuring that when they are ready for braces we can get the process started.

8 photos that flip the script when it comes to stereotypes about black women.
Erin Canty
Black women are beautiful, complex, and worthy of love. It sounds so simple, and yet here we are.
While representations of black women have increased on television and movies, it's still an exercise in extremes. It's easy to scan from well-worn negative tropes and stereotypes like the "angry black woman," or "the baby mama," or the "hypersexual black Barbie" to the powerful leading ladies of "Hidden Figures," "Being Mary Jane," or "Black-ish," but there are few stops in between.
What have you done to support Viola Davis today? Double it! Photo by Jonathan Leibson/Getty Images for Paramount Pictures.
In fact, according to a 2013 report in Essence, negative depictions of black women appear twice as often as positive ones. These representations are demoralizing, and, speaking from personal experience, exhausting and embarrassing. Thankfully, we can look beyond television and film for positive representations in pop culture.
Mickalene Thomas brings bold, powerful representations of black women to fine art.
Based in New York, Thomas is known for her large-scale paintings of domestic interiors and multi-textured, rhinestone-covered portraits of women. Her work is colorful, vibrant, and affirming. Her paintings of women appear as collages, with small pieces accenting and challenging each other. Each woman is more than the sum of her colorful, mystifying parts. Time passes quickly as you attempt to "figure her out," but you can't. Therein lies the beauty.

Thomas' photography series, "Muse," seeks to challenge norms of black beauty.
In the series and book, "Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs," she portrayed black women in highly stylized, fantastical portraits.

With each photograph, Thomas redefines black beauty for herself, pushing back on tired stereotypes and outdated norms. Each one is a stunning act of resistance.

Thomas drew inspiration from portrait photographers like James Van Der Zee (who beautifully documented the people of the Harlem Renaissance with his pioneering tableau portraits) as well as pro-black modeling campaigns from the 1970s featuring stars like Beverly Johnson.

Instead of using professional models for her series, Thomas' muses include her mother, sisters, lovers, and friends. These visually stunning portraits are a truly shared effort between Thomas and the women who've had an impact on her.

In addition to "Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs," released in 2015, Thomas has exhibited her work in galleries around the country.
Through March 12, 2017, "Muse" is on display in the Meyerhoff Gallery at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. Thomas also curated a companion exhibit of photography, called "tête-à-tête," which is also on display at MICA.

Representations and depictions of black women are vital.
It's still too easy for little black girls to grow up seeing few positive depictions of black women outside of their families. It's easy to grow up feeling less than or unworthy when women with curly or kinky hair, women with full lips, and women with rich, dark skin don't make it to your picture books — or your history books, for that matter.

That's why we need to shout out and celebrate black women as the superheroes they are.
Black women write laws, start businesses, make art, explore the natural world, build towers, save lives, and teach at local schools. Yes, we are strong, but we are also tender, loving, and vulnerable. Black women are the embodiment of balance and resilience, holding down families, communities, and nine-to-fives, while pushing back against racism, sexism, and privilege. It's hard work. It breaks you down. But black women, for better or worse, keep grinding.
There is beauty in our strength, but you don't get to see that. Not nearly enough. And that's why black representation matters, why black art matters — it's a love letter to our persistence.

My problem is that after Saving the signature as Image file I am not able to convert it back to arrylist like the one that i am used to save the value in the database.
ie I need to convert the image file back to as given below format
60 46 59 48*59 48 59 51*59 51 59 53*59 53 60 49*60 49 61 44*61 44 62 38*62 38 64 31*64 31 67 23*67 23 70 14*70 14 72 10*72 10 75 3*75 3 77 -2*77 -2 76 2*76 2 75 6*75 6 72 17*72 17 71 24*71 24 69 31*69 31 68 46*68 46 67 59*67 59 68 71*68 71 69 79*69 79 70 86*70 86 71 89*71 89 71 93*71 93 71 95*71 95 71 97*71 97 70 95*70 95 69 88*69 88 68 81*68 81 69 77*69 77 69 68*69 68 71 60

Will any one help me please

A: It is not very easy to get your "signature string" back from image so you can just add you "string signature" to saved image as a metadata tag of image (as a Description for example). So then you read your image back you don't need to recognize "signature string" from image, you can just read it from metadata as a string. Msdn has a nice article about image metadata and api to work with them. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms748873.aspx
By the way, your code for concatenating "signature string" is slow and memory consuming. It is better to use StringBuilder in such situations in .Net. And overall strings are not the best data structure to store list of points. But it depends on requirements for your app.

Akufo-Addo ends 3-day N/R tour
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Monday, 23 July 2018, ended his 3-day tour of the Northern Region, with visits to Tamale, Buipe, and Damongo.
As part of activities climaxing the President's visit, he visited the newly-refurbished Motorking Assembly Plant in Tamale, where he, among others, commissioned the facility and urged private sector actors to invest in the country's manufacturing sector.
"My presence here, and that of the Minister of Trade, is to signal the support and commitment of Ghana and of the government to investments such as these," he said.
He continued, "They are investments that will impact the transformation of our economy, and that is the major objective of economic policy in our time, that we begin to transform the Ghanaian economy from being a raw material producing and exporting economy to an industrial economy that will be able to create jobs and generate higher incomes for our people."
At Buipe, President Akufo-Addo cut the sod for the construction of an 80-bed District Hospital, which will specialize in accident and emergency care.
With the hospital expected to be completed in 36 months, the President said that hospital will provide access to healthcare for the people of Central Gonja and its environs, as well as to commuters along the Trans-Africa highway in the event of accidents and emergencies.
Speaking at the Palace of the Overlord of Gonjaland, the Yagbonwura, Tuntumba Boresa I, the President thanked him, together with the other Eminent Chiefs, for the work being done to bring finality to the Dagbon conflict.
He stressed that: "I am not a Dagomba. I cannot be Abudu or Andani. I cannot be. I am from somewhere a long way away from Akyem Abuakwa in Kyebi, so I am not Abudu and I am not Andani. All my interest is for the two groups to come together, restore peace in Dagbon so that there can be peace all over the Northern Region and in the northern parts of our country."
On the creation of the proposed Savannah Region, the President told the Yagbonwura that on Thursday, 19th July, 2018, prior to his week-long tour of the Upper East, Upper West and Northern Regions, he forwarded the recommendations of the Justice Brobbey Commission to the Electoral Commission, in accordance with the teachings of the Constitution.
The President reiterated that, as per the requirements of the Constitution, at least, 50% of the persons entitled to vote must vote in each of the different referenda, and, of the votes cast, at least 80% must be cast in favour of the creation of the Savannah region for the demand to succeed.
With the Programme for Food and Jobs in its second year of implementation, the President indicated that the number of beneficiary farmers, who have been given improved seedligs, subsidized fertilizer, and access to extension officers, has been increased from two hundred thousand farmers in 2017 to five hundred thousand in 2018.
The 1-village-1-dam policy, he added, is being implemented in the three Northern Regions to ensure all-year round farming. This, he said, has resulted in the ongoing construction of 570 dams in the three Northern Regions in 2018.
President Akufo-Addo will from Tuesday, 24th July, 2018, embark on a 2-day tour of the Upper West Region.

In Athens you'll come across spots that have the remnants of ancient civilizations.
In Athens focus on getting a feel for the ancient history of the city.
This sometimes means digging deep and keeping your mind focused while you navigate the city.
Here's what to do to leave Athens feeling a bit more in touch with ancient civilization.
The Acropolis was developed in the 5th century. The most famous of which is the Parthenon (built in 438 BC). Socrates' old stomping grounds is a must-see for every new visitor to Athens. But prepare yourself – even in off seasons, the site can be overrun with an insane amount of tourists.
A view from atop the Acropolis — Temple of Zeus and the old theater in the background.
The Acropolis Museum used to be conveniently located on-site at the Acropolis with the entrance included in the ticket fare.
An example of ancient art you can see are the Caryatids.
The original statues are located in the Acropolis Museum.
Greek food consists of a lot of vegetable, a lot of meat, and a lot of feta.
Athens has a diverse offering of eateries. Try the simple, but famous Greek Salad — tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and feta with no lettuce — at a small cafe or go big with a feta stuffed lamb masterpiece at a traditional Greek restaurant.

There is no machine on earth that would survive a long time without proper and timely repair and maintenance. Laptops and PC's are no different. This kind of maintenance must be performed throughout their lifespan in order to keep them in good shape and condition. A computer is useless if it is slow, vulnerable to virus attacks, and gives other issues. Viruses and Trojans also pose threat to your confidential data and useful files. That is why PC maintenance is required at least twice a year so that an expert computer technician would inspect your device completely and point out any hidden problems and issues. He would also be able to fix those issues and make your machine perform like new.
Laptops, notebook computers, tablets and desktop computers are not inexpensive. The latest technology makes them quite pricey especially if you opt for more RAM and more internal storage. If you don't get them checked every now and again, your expensive devices would wear out pretty quickly leaving you with no option but to replace them. All your hard-earned money would go to waste if this happens. So, why not spend a few hundred dollars on its maintenance than having to buy a brand new PC, which is worth thousands?
An IT support company is what you need when it comes to PC maintenance in Hamilton. A local company is better because you won't have to travel to a far-away place to have your PC repaired and maintained. Try to find a reliable vendor that has years of experience as well as a number of testimonials by regular customers. Since your PC is expensive, you simply can't take any risks when you have to avail maintenance services. A successful track record along with an affordable list of services is what you should be looking for.
Remember these points when you are finding the best computer maintenance service in your area around Hamilton. Another feature that makes a company more reliable than others is its excellent technical support department. This service should be available 24/7 and through online platform as well. In case you need to call up a technician at an odd hour, the company must be able to provide one to fix any kind of issue you might be having with your PC or laptop.

Over the next few weeks I will be blogging through the alphabet. You can read more AtoZ posts by clicking here.
I'll freely admit that I do not enjoy cooking. Making a meal on the stove is something I do because it must be done.
Baking on the other hand is a different story. I love to make yummy brownies and cookies. I don't do it as often as I would like, simply because my waist and hips already too wide.
As a girl, I remember my grandmother baking pies and allowing me to play with the leftover crust dough. She'd even bake my then gray colored creations. No one ever ate my baked pieces of dough (looking back, I don't blame them) but I thought they were wonderful. Was that the beginning of my enjoyment of baking? Perhaps. I do know those are some of my favorite young memories of times spent with my grandma.
IntelliGent is often curious about what is happening in the kitchen. I likes to be picked up to see the water boiling in a pot, or meat sizzling in the fry pan. I try to include him in these activities by talking as I work or, if appropriate and safe, placing him on the counter to watch.
When we started the K4 curriculum, one of the early lessons talked about the Gingerbread Man. I decided to make some cookies with IntelliGent. Was I insane? My mother never baked with me and Grandma only let me play with the leftovers. Still, I grabbed our aprons and got to work.
It was a wonderful experience - one we have repeated a few times. IntelliGent was involved in every part of the process. He helped me read the recipe, stir the dough, use the mixer, cut out the cookies, and decorate them.
Can you tell which ones IntelliGent decorated?
Baking with a toddler does take longer, but I am impressed with IntelliGent's willingness to help and I believe he is learning important lessons as we measure, pour, mix, stir, and cook together. We both agree the best part is enjoying the yummy goodies at the end.

Home SECONDARY SCHOOL NOTES FORM III NOTES LITERATURE IN ENGLISH
Literature written in the English language includes many countries such as the United Kingdom and its crown dependencies, Republic of Ireland, the United States, and the countries of the former British Empire.
The English language has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years. The earliest forms of English, a set of Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon invaders in the fifth century, are called Old English.
Beowulf is the most famous work in Old English, and has achieved national epic status in England, despite being set in Scandinavia. However, following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the written form of the Anglo-Saxon language became less common. Under the influence of the new aristocracy, French became the standard language of courts, parliament, and polite society.
The English spoken after the Normans came is known as Middle English. This form of English lasted until the 1470s, when the Chancery Standard (late Middle English), a London-based form of English, became widespread.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343 – 1400), author of The Canterbury Tales, was a significant figure in the development of the legitimacy of vernacular Middle English at a time when the dominant literary languages in England were still French and Latin.
The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 1439 also helped to standardise the language, as did the King James Bible (1611), and the Great Vowel Shift.
Poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and one of the world's greatest dramatists.
His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. In the nineteenth century Sir Walter Scott's historical romances inspired a generation of painters, composers, and writers throughout Europe.

The English language spread throughout the world with the development of the British Empire between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history.
By 1913, the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries these colonies and the USA started to produce their own significant literary traditions in English.
Cumulatively, over the period of 1907 to the present, numerous writers from Great Britain, both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the US, and former British colonies have received the Nobel Prize for works in the English language, more than in any other language.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Creative Director Has Been Fired
Ashraf Ismail, the creative director behind the upcoming Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been fired from Ubisoft today. This comes amidst a series of internal investigations being carried out by Ubisoft after its sexual misconduct scandal last month.
An internal announcement was sent out to the employees of Ubisoft Montreal, stating,
"Following an investigation by an external firm, it was determined that Ashraf's employment with Ubisoft had to be terminated. We cannot provide any details about this confidential investigation."
Ismail was under a lot of suspicions already as women have accused him over twitter of trying to start a relationship with them while pretending to be single when, in truth, he is married. To make it worse, it seemed that he was exploiting his prominent position in Ubisoft to coarse women that were new to the gaming industry. On June 24, Ismail admitted to his mistakes and stepped down from his position on Valhalla. He remained part of the development team he was fully terminated today.
Ismail is one of many men to be fired from Ubisoft since the allegations have surfaced. It seems that the company is looking to do a deep-cleaning of its staff to root out workplace toxicity, and we may see many more people fired in the near future.

New Torrentz Clone Appears with The Name of Pirate Bay And Extratorrent
It's been quite a few days since we got the news of Torrentz shutting down, but soon enough alternative mirror sites like Pirate Bay and Extratorrents came into the spotlight. The government wholeheartedly tried to stop piracy, but somewhere in the way they failed, and soon the underworld caught up and published mirror sites.
What is a Torrent website?
Torrentz.eu is a meta search engine run by a Finland based individual going by the name of Flippy. Torrentz.eu is a website that provides its users with the ability to search million of torrents housed in its servers. The website sources the links, technically called torrents, from various sources, that include the likes of KickAss torrentz and Pirate Bay. The website gives you the details of the number of downloads in the form of seeds as well as the number of downloads in the form of leaches. This information helps you to understand how fast the particular file will be downloaded. Torrentz.eu was the most popular torrents website on 2012 and after a slight downfall, again gained popularity in 2015.
History of Torrentz
Though it is not clearly known, when the website was started, Torrentz became 13 on 5th August, 2016. The creator of this website, operates out of Finland and goes by the name of Flippy. In November 2008, scammers using fake papers, tried to sabotage the torrentz.com domain. When the creator got to know of the attempt, he instantly took action and launched his backup domain torrentz.eu.
Uses of Torrentz
The usage of torrentz depends upon the user. Some of you may use it for downloading movies and some of you may use it for downloading songs, the usage doesn't matter, be assured that torrentz has everything you need. The user interface of the website is very simple, it has a search bar and an user menu. You just need to type out the name of the torrent you want, and voila you have it. You are not required to register before putting in your search. The search is autocomplete-enable, meaning it will give you items from the trending search at the moment. To do the search, you just need to type out a string of characters and press the search button in the website or hit the enter key in your keyboard. Once the search is requested, a list of all available torrents matching your query will be displayed in the website. These results can be filtered by day, month, year, number of downloads and many more. The quality of the torrent can be also marketed as good, bad or verified. When you click on a particular torrent, you will be redirected to a website containing a list of websites hosting that torrent currently.
About Piracy
As we all are well aware about what piracy is, but for the sake of this article, let's just refresh our concepts. Piracy is the act of stealing material from a person or a company, without their conservation. Piracy can be done to anything, starting from books to music, and from designs to movies. Any material that is taken without the permission of the user is termed as, a pirated material.
Torrentz contribution to Piracy
Torrentz is one of the primary contributors to piracy. The driving reason behind this being, torrentz hosts almost 90% pirated material. Starting from pirated movies to pirated songs, torrentz has everything and the creators of the original material don't like this. torrentz hosts all this pirated material in special servers that are off the grid. By off the grid, I mean to say that amateur engineers or hackers and in some cases even the most experienced ones can't find its exact location. The location of this servers is so much protected that till date no enforcement agency in this world has been successful in locating their location.
How severe is the case?
Piracy is a very serious concern all over the world. Most of the governments around the world are trying to curb, but are somewhere lost in their efforts, as a result of which new sites are continuously coming up which are similar or more advanced than torrrentz. Piracy kills creativity and makes people loose their money. For example, if a movie studio invested Rs. 30 crores in making a movie and they expect to earn at least a crore from it. Now, if the movie is pirated by someone and released on one of these sites, you will download the movie from one of these sites and watch it in your home. As a result of which the company will loose the revenue that it was supposed to earn from the movie theaters, and as a result of which the production company goes into a loss. The same is with any other production like songs, books or anything similar. A lot of time and hard work is invested into making a final product, and when someone steals it from you without your notice, you will definitely go furious and try to break them apart. The same is the case with the governments around the world.
How they are being curbed?
The government around the world are taking steps to curb piracy. The first step towards stopping piracy is stopping Torrent sites. For this, the governments around the world are hiring special teams comprised of cyber security experts to track down those who are behind these. Although many efforts are being made, the government is always a step behind the creators. As of date, a number of websites hosting these pirated materials are being shutdown, but as it well known, because of the gaps in the efforts being made, a number of mirror sites like Pirate Bay and Extratorrent sites are coming up.
Although the government around the world is taking efforts in curbing piracy, we as responsible netizens should stop relying on these kind of websites, and once we stop using them, there existence will be void in no time. Piracy has destroyed the domestic market around the world,

Pioneers of unconscious shame
On this site I have written extensively about unconscious shame – an invisible sense of shamefulness that cripples us through low self worth, anxiety, and emotional and sexual dysfunction. The idea of some overarching disease that is so prevalent that few are aware of its existence is not new. Since the late 19th century a number of progressive thinkers in a variety of fields have promoted the idea of a toxic condition hidden in plain sight in our midst.
The diseases that afflict us in the early 21st century are anything but modern. As discussed in A brief history of shame, the ills of the modern world began with the rise of patriarchy around 4000 BC. It took nearly six millennia before anyone clearly twigged to the fundamental shame at the heart of the human condition. Over a century later, most of the population has little idea how ill humanity truly is.
"The word Disease is applicable to our social as well
as to our physical condition" — Edward Carpenter,
Civilization: its Cause and Cure
Given the prevalence of cancer and mental health issues in the so-called developed nations, the notion that humanity is afflicted by some ravaging disease, a collective madness, is hard to refute. In 1899 Edward Carpenter, a social theorist and early gay rights advocate, published Civilization: its Cause and Cure in which he argued that 'civilization' was an illness that no human society had ever survived.
At the core of Carpenter's criticism lay the claim that any society whose science was devoid of feeling and a reverence for the natural world must end up pursuing goals inimical to its wellbeing. Sagely, he also observed that "emotion precedes thought" – if someone has an emotional wound around a given situation they will always respond to that situation irrationally. If you have ever wondered why intelligent people do stupid things, Carpenter's three words provide the answer.
"Man is the only biological species which has destroyed
its own natural sex function, and that is what ails him"
— Wilhelm Reich, The Function of the Orgasm
In the 1920s and 30s, Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich observed in his clinical practice that his clients repeatedly and systematically engaged in self-destructive behaviour – 'emotion preceding thought', in Carpenter's words. Reich observed that they did this in direct proportion to how much they disliked themselves. In particular, how much they were ashamed of their own sexuality. Reich associated the abhorrence of sexuality with a wide range of unhealthy physical, mental and emotional characteristics. This validated both Carpenter's dictum and the assertion that an underlying layer of permanent shame gave rise to the behaviour.
Though his patients took such behaviour to extremes, Reich noted that milder forms of it were widely prevalent and therefore seen as normal, i.e. that damaging or limiting behaviour arising from unconscious sex negativity was institutionalised in society. This led Reich to formulate the above quote. Though written with the stilted gender use of his era, it is even more relevant today as society grapples with sex-saturated advertising, high street lap-dancing clubs, porn addiction, date rape and other sexually dysfunctional behaviour on a massive scale.
"We are born into a world where alienation awaits
us" — R. D. Laing, The Politics of Experience
In the 1960s, counter-cultural psychologist R. D. Laing coined the term "the divided self". This referred to the way in which people who were sensitive to both their emotions and to society's disapproval of those emotions unconsciously rejected the irrational aspect of their own psyches. This caused a lifelong sense of alienation not only from others but from themselves. Depending on the extent of the division, they unconsciously developed coping mechanisms such as schizophrenia to manage these shame-based feelings.
"The future of the human species is dependent upon
our making a direct and open challenge to the cruel
manner in which we treat our infants and children, and
suppress our sexuality" — James DeMeo, Saharasia
DeMeo studied geography at the University of Kansas in the 1970s. He discovered an obscure article in which Wilhelm Reich observed that in desert environments not only were the flora and fauna prickly, but the people were too. The environment itself seemed to cause some kind of emotional armouring. Reich never followed up this observation but DeMeo did. The result was the 1999 publication of Saharasia – The 4000 BCE Origins of Child Abuse, Sex-Repression, Warfare and Social Violence in the Deserts of the Old World.
In this monumental work DeMeo presents a vast range of geographical, historical and anthropological evidence to support his thesis that climate change during the period 8000-4000 BC that turned the Sahara, the Arabian peninsula and Central Asia (which DeMeo collectively terms Saharasia) from life-supporting savannahs into the deserts that we know today. This in turn gave rise to emotional armouring among the inhabitants of these desiccated regions. This led directly to the rise of patriarchy as the world's predominant social organisation. Its inherent anti-female, anti-child and anti-sex biases are still alive and kicking today.
As the 21st century unfolds, the pioneering work of these forward-thinkers – usually in the face of significant opposition from a society that wished to remain in ignorant denial – is increasingly being shown to be true.

Bessel van der Kolk is a hero and leader in helping to bring the study of trauma into public awareness. In his fascinating book, The Body Keeps the Score, he tells of his own journey in learning, through his patients, about trauma and it's consequences. He writes about the impact trauma has on the body and psyche, and offers hope in outlining effective treatments. Whether you're a therapist who works with traumatized patients, someone who's experienced trauma, or know someone who's survived trauma (I think that includes all of us), I highly recommend this book.

London has some of the best hotel bars in the world - and the great thing is that you don't always have to be a hotel resident to enjoy a martini in one of these glamorous hotspots. So, read the LondonTown.com guide to the best hotel bars on offer throughout the city.
This swanky cocktail bar was voted the world's best in 2017.
During The Savoy's £220million refit the American Bar was barely touched, ensuring it stayed true to its traditional, sleek design that is synonymous with the iconic drinking destination. This move was clearly a clever one after the bar was voted the world's best in the 2017 World's 50 Best Bars ranking. The white decor, art deco mirrors and fittings, polished piano - used for live American Jazz seven nights a week - and Terry O'Neill monochrome portraits come together to form one of the capital's most stylish bars. Erik Lorincz currently leads the award-winning team of bar staff, who still refer to the legendary Savoy Cocktail Book that is considered 'the bartender's bible'. Written by Harry Craddock, the head bartender in the 1930s, the book contains cocktails such as the famous White Lady, which is made with Bombay Sapphire gin, dry orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice and a dash of egg white. As well as these traditional choices, the bar aims to serve classic drinks that appeal to the modern palate.
Sip cocktails on pink sofas at this award-winning riverside bar.
A sumptuous, Art Deco-inspired interior designed by Tom Dixon and views over the South Bank, Dandelyan is no unwanted weed. Instead, it's a cut above your average hotel hangout with its green marble bar and dramatic views of the Thames. It's also been named the second best bar in the world in The World's 50 Best Bars ranking and the best cocktail bar in the world at the 2017 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. On the ground floor of the Mondrian hotel, tucked away at the rear of the building, Dandelyan references the luxurious cruise liners of generations past. And the feature space at the end of the room - pink sofas and gentleman's club green walls - takes its cues from an original 1978 Warren Platner-designed light that the team found in the building at the start of the project. The drinks menu has been created by award-winning bar impresario Ryan Chetiyawardana, A.K.A Mr Lyan, with innovative cocktails and refined interpretations of the classics, taking the botanical wilds of the British countryside and around the world as inspiration.
A Jazz Age speakeasy atmosphere with a piano that doubles as a bar.
The cocktails in the Bassoon Bar are very good, expensive, yes, but very, very good. Not only that but the bar has a piano which is both a musical instrument, complete with ivories to tinkle, and a bar where drinks can be purchased. Amazing. No surprise that the bar within the luxury Corinthia Hotel London has attracted an A-list clientele - Colin Firth, Jemima Khan, Cuba Gooding Jr, Mariella Frostrup have all stayed here. This is a grand hotel, in fact, the 19th-century building was one of Victorian London's original grand hotels. At the Bassoon Bar this heritage is alluded to in the cocktail list which includes colonial-inspired drinks including the Victorian Moijto, Pimm's Cup and English Tea Punch. Homemade sodas are carbonated to order in the tumbler - which sounds as colonial as it gets. The decor is art deco, courtesy of David Collins (also responsible for the Connaught Bar and Artesian), but it's the cocktails that people will come for, to sip stylish drinks in one of London's most glamorous hotels.
As the name suggests, this sophisticated bar's furnishings are universally blue.
Located in the old ticket office, this bar striking bar serves cocktails, punches and ales.
Located within the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, in what used to be the ticket office of St Pancras Station, The Booking Office Bar takes its inspiration from the days when the hotel first opened with punches and drinks recreated from the Victorian era and served in hand%u2010made copper punch bowls. Opened in 1873, the Midland Grand Hotel, as it was originally called, launched at the height of a mixed drink explosion. Alongside revived Victorian cocktails and punches are ales by Meantime beers which arrive in pewter tankards. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Booking Office's all day menu offers a range of daily specials from braised beef cheeks to Lancashire hot pot. But most striking of all are the dramatically high ceilings of George Gilbert Scott's interior, updated with the addition of a 29 metre-long bar and modern sofas and armchairs. Guardian writer Sally Shalam was impressed by the ornate brickwork and arched windows describing it as, "surely the most inspiring new public space in London". And, if you head up to the platform level bar, you can enjoy al fresco dining while watching the Eurostar come and go.
High class cocktails can be supped at this intimate, relaxed and inviting bar.
Award-winning bar that oozes style and glamour.
If you're after perfection in a glass in an ultra-stylish location then look no further than the main bar at the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair. The bar has been lavished with awards: senior mixologist Erik Lorincz won the Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender of the Year 2010 and Agostino Perrone won the International Bartender of the Year 2010 at the Tales of the Cocktail event, New Orleans, with the Connaught Bar picked up the World's Best Hotel Bar 2010 award in the process. The bar also now offers a signature serve of whisky and bespoke chocolate tasting to enhace the characteristics of the whiskies. It's not cheap (you won't get much change from £30 for two drinks) but given the shimmering platinum silver leaf décor, the superb individual service and the meticulous attention to detail that goes into everything that you sip, you'll agree that being treated like royalty is money worth spent. What's more, the bar snacks are refilled regularly and come at no extra cost.
This bar can lay claim to providing the inspiration for James Bond.
Any bar which can lay claim to providing the inspiration for James Bond has to make a best-bar list in our books. Ian Fleming was a regular at the stylishly old-fashioned bar at the luxury Dukes Hotel in St James's - and rumour has it the bar's famous martinis (no doubt shaken, not stirred) fuelled the author's imagination when he was shaping his legendary 007 character. Some even say the martinis, expertly made at guests' tables by dapper waiters, are amongst the best in the world. A renovation in 2007 transformed the Dukes Hotel and contributed to the bar's new cool and sophisticated atmosphere, making it one of the area's most popular destinations. Thankfully, the place still maintains its former charm, with ornate furniture and leather chairs the order of the day and old portraits lining the walls. Besides martinis there is also an excellent selection of cognacs, some of which are more than 150 years old.
This chic and relaxing bar is the perfect place to start an evening.
Named one of the top five hotel bars in the world by the Sunday Telegraph, the Lobby Bar at the chic One Aldwych hotel is renowned for its fresh and inventive cocktails in a superb, airy location. Contemporary sculptures, vast flower arrangements, bespoke furniture, dark oak panelling and a polished limestone floor all combine to make the Lobby Bar a stylish yet unpretentious haven from the hustle and bustle of the West End. Smartly dressed, polite and extremely talented bar staff mix together original cocktails and martinis - some of the best in the capital. Bar snacks include Welsh rarebit, Dorset crab, goujons of pollock and a selection of cheese - while every drinks order comes with a trademark bowl of hot assorted nuts (work the trip alone). The Lobby Bar can get quite busy depending on the schedule of the many nearby theatres and so you may not always get a table - but with double-height ceilings and loads of floor space, you can easily stand in or around the bar without being shunted around the place. Described as "probably the most beautiful hotel lobby bar in London" by the Evening Standard, the Lobby Bar is a firm favourite of discerning drinkers off The Strand. With such a chic and relaxing atmosphere it's the perfect place to start an evening.
This exclusive sanctuary possesses one of London's longest bars.
A bohemian hideaway that serves delectable cocktails and food.
A thing of beauty, The Coral Room breathes new life into The Bloomsbury Hotel.
Acclaimed designer Martin Brudnizki - responsible for the interiors at Dean Street Townhouse, Hix and Scarfes Bar - has breathed new life into The Bloomsbury Hotel's reception area with the exceptionally stylish Coral Room. A thing of beauty, the bar sees the original wood panelling upgraded for glossy, vibrant coral walls adorned with cheery illustrations by Luke Edward Hall. At the centre, a sweeping marble bar is sandwiched by comfy bar stalls reminiscent of Cecconi's at The Ned and a gleaming brass drinks display. Glistening Murano chandeliers dangle from the ceilings and plush leather and velvet chairs complete the 1920s aesthetic. The cocktail list sees classics sit alongside contemporary creations while a lengthy 'English Sparkling' menu champions the local product. A sophisticated breakfast is available in the morning while later in the day there's a selection of bar snacks and small plates.
An Art Deco hideout, this beautiful bar takes inspiration from the 1920s and '30s.
Taking inspiration from the 1920s and '30s - the golden era of cocktails - The Bloomsbury Club Bar is an inviting Art Deco retreat serving delectable classic and contemporary cocktails. Like its equally stylish sister, The Coral Room, the bar sits within The Bloomsbury Hotel and is split into two areas: the main bar, which brings together emerald green bar stools and seats, dark wood panelling and a gleaming drinks cabinet, and a twinkling outdoor space with overhanging greenery and fairy lights aplenty. Aside from the extensive cocktail list, there's also a selection of premium beers, spirits and indulgent bar snacks. Think truffle fries and lobster popcorn.
A 19th century cocktail bar from from Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing.
Following a major redesign, the bar within The Gilbert Scott restaurant reopened as George's Bar in early 2018. Marcus Wareing's latest tribute to the building's original architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott, the bar sees the chef work in conjunction with David Collins Studio to transform the 19th century surroundings. Keeping the architect's original palette in mind, the new design is a more informal affair that takes inspiration from European grand cafes. A two Michelin-starred chef, Marcus Wareing certainly understands ingredients, and working with bar manager, Dav Eames, he presents an exciting new menu inspired by chefs to celebrate the seasons. The menu offers a rotating cocktail of the month, with each one having a story to tell and its own history. The launch cocktail is the Bee Keeper, made with lavender infused Bombay Sapphire gin, Melfort Farm honey, sloe gin, lemon, hibiscus and elderflower.
This eye-catching bar takes inspiration from London's most iconic eras and trends.
Opened in late 2017, The Perception has taken over the lobby of the W London. Designed by Amsterdam-based firm Concrete, the bar is inspired by London's most iconic eras and trends. Split into seven zones, it has an eye-catching bar at its centrepiece that has a sophisticated cocktail bar design alongside traditional British pub influences. Inventive cocktails are made using unique ingredients like matcha, fresh basil and fig liqueur. The bar also serves a tipsy twist on afternoon tea, a retox brunch and special dining series such as a boldly vegan menu by chef Ravinder Bhogal. Combining her global culinary influences based on her heritage and travels, Bhogal presents a menu that aims to excite vegans and omnivores alike. Dishes include besan fritters with coconut yoghurt and curry leaf and rose, coconut and cardamom doughnuts.
Imaginative cocktails are served in quirky surroundings at this upmarket hotel bar.
Located within the striking Mandrake hotel, Waeska serves imaginative cocktails in quirky surroundings. A stuffed gazelle dressed as a peacock hanging behind the bar sets the tone for the rest of the venue, which boasts a zany interior of floral armchairs, leather bar stool, mirror topped tables and wacky art. Head bartender Walter Pintus leads the way in the drinks department, serving a menu of botanical based drinks created with homemade syrups and rare ingredients.
An upmarket take on the classic British pub, with food by Michel Roux Jr.
Building on the history of the British tavern, The Wigmore is an elegant pub from the team at The Langham hotel next door. The former banking hall has been transformed into a luxurious drinking den with a design by Martin Brudnizki, drinks from the team at Artesian and food overseen by Michel Roux Jr. Here you get great wines on tap, cask ales and craft beers, including The Wigmore's very own house Saison brewed in partnership with Bermondsey's Brew By Numbers, together with cups of punch, house 'hoptails' and a selection of classic mixed drinks. On the menu are hearty British dishes that include a raised veal and ham pie, devilled lamb's kidneys and paprika-glazed short rib with bone marrow crumb.

Flashback Friday Album Spotlight: Billy Squier's Don't Say No
November 4, 2016 April 30, 2017 ~ lovelyritatheseeker
You probably already know at least one song from this album…it's called The Stroke. I love it and hate it. It's catchy and rocking, but lyrically silly and stupid compared to everything he has ever released. I think it's just tainted for me, though, because it constantly overshadows the rest of his brilliance. I remember one time on VH1, when they still aired programming all about music, they had some sort of countdown of the greatest rock songs ever. The only Billy Squier song that made the cut was the Stroke, and this still bothers me. I mean, it's not like they air that special anymore, but when they did, how many viewers saw it and immediately disregarded looking into Billy Squier's whole catalog because of that one song?! That thought hurts my heart. After all, if it's the only song by him on a list of the supposed greatest rock and roll, if I wasn't familiar with his music I would just be like "oh, so that's the best he's got?" and not be interesting in pursuing his albums. But it's really not!! It's not even the best on the album it comes from!!
"You're no stranger, you know what I like…"
This whole album is awesome, but here are my highlights:
I Need You-it's romantic and a bit dramatic but it's not quite a ballad. It's still rocking and awesome.
My Kinda Lover- also romantic and rocking without being your typical ballad. It's just a sexy rock song. This might be my favorite on the album.
In the Dark-also dramatic but less romantic. "Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies? Would you take me in? Are you lonely here in the dark?"
You Know What I like- "I fell into your face before I ever knew your name". Clearly about an encounter with a new lover. I don't normally enjoy songs about one-night-stands and the like but I love this one. It's awesome. It's rocking and sexy, like many other songs on this album.
Lonely is the Night- this might be the best song (and yes, My Kinda Lover is still my favorite). "Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone. Your demons come to light, and your mind is not your own". It's just epic and belongs in a movie's soundtrack; your main characters are suddenly stranded in a strange land and they don't know what to do. All you hear is this song and suddenly you panic and want to party at the same time.
This isn't even the only Billy Squier album that I own that is amazing, so look forward to another album spotlight to get know him better!!
