Know More about this tour

Make your own way to Hampton Court Palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, roughly 30 minutes by train from central London. Nestled next to the Thames River, Hampton Court Palace is famous as the home of King Henry VIII, one of the most renowned monarchs in English history.

2 Traveler Reviews

  • Six women paid almost a thousand dollars for this guided tour. We were very dissappointed. The guide was not understandable, mumbled and was poorly organized.

  • This was beyond amazing and by far the high light of my trip! Having the private tour enabled me to view artwork, places of interest to me, and get inside information from a true historian! My guide could not have been more knowledgeable. We both shared a passion for this castle and all its treasure

Guerrilla Games has a very beautiful game on its hands with PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn
By: Anthony Garreffa | Gaming News | Posted: Feb 14, 2017 9:26 am

As we get closer to the launch of Horizon: Zero Dawn, more screenshots are leaking - and it's shaping up beautifully.

Guerrilla Games has been working on the action RPG for a few years now, but there have been copies of Horizon: Zero Dawn that were sold before its official release - and thus, we have screenshots to ogle over.

Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of complementary medicine. It originated in China and has been used to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years.

Today many people turn to acupuncture as a safe, natural medicine to help with specific symptoms, or where conventional treatments have not helped. Others choose acupuncture because they generally feel unwell or because they simple want to enhance their feeling of well-being. Acupuncture can also work alongside conventional medical treatments.

Mandy Pitts BSc LicAc MBAcC

IMGP0592I graduated with a degree and Licentiate in Acupuncture in 2007.

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and abide by a code of ethics which maintains high standards of education, discipline and practise.

I am covered by full public indemnity and liability insurance.

The type of acupuncture I practise combines treatment of your physical symptoms [Traditional Chinese Medicine] with treatment of your emotional well-being[ Five Element Acupuncture].

During my years in practise I have enjoyed the opportunity to help many people with a wide range of health issues- pain relief, muscular/ skeletal problems, headaches, anxiety and stress, menopausal symptoms, nausea, pregnancy ailments, infertility and IVF . Research has shown that acupuncture combined with IVF increases the success rate. See Fertility.

Letters From a Life

The Selected Letters of Benjamin Britten, Volume Three, 1946-1951

Benjamin Britten (Author), Donald Mitchell (Editor), Philip Reed (Editor), Mervyn Cooke (Editor)

Not available in British Commonwealth, Europe

Hardcover, 784 pages
ISBN: 9780520242593
December 2004
This long-awaited third volume of composer Benjamin Britten's remarkable letters covers the years 1946–51. Fresh from the astonishing success of his great first opera, Peter Grimes, Britten was vital to the post-war rebuilding of the arts in Great Britain with his visionary work as a composer, conductor, and performer. With his partner, the celebrated tenor Peter Pears, he founded the Aldeburgh Festival, which eventually grew into the international festival that it is today, and the English Opera Group. He also toured widely in Europe and the United States as a pianist and conductor. During this time he wrote many of his best-known works, including the operas Billy Budd, Albert Herring, and The Rape of Lucretia.

Britten's correspondents include literary figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Edith Sitwell, E. M. Forster (the librettist for Billy Budd), and Edward Sackville-West, as well as musical colleagues from around the world including Ernest Ansermet, Francis Poulenc, Aaron Copland,and Igor Stravinsky.

This volume of selected letters represents one of the richest and most innovative periods of the composer's creative life. His daily concerns and the unique era in which he lived are vividly evoked by the comprehensive and scholarly annotations, which offer a wide range of detailed and fascinating information. Donald Mitchell contributes a superb introduction.
The editors are three of the most distinguished and prolific Britten scholars writing today. Donald Mitchell was a close friend of the composer for many years as well as his publisher. Philip Reed is Head of Publications at English National Opera. Mervyn Cooke is Professor of Music at Nottingham University.
"A landmark: these letters and their extensive annotation provide a virtual biography of the most important British composer since Purcell. All those interested in music in the twentieth century must read these volumes, which also provide intriguing snapshots of the recent British past."—Peter Stansky, Stanford University

"This is the composer who turned his paranoia as homosexual and pacifist into the classic 20th-century opera, Peter Grimes. Now at last we have some really new material about that personal experience. It turns out to be even more fascinating than one could have imagined."—Philip Brett, editor of Cambridge Opera Handbook

Research interests | Curriculum vitae

Research interests

My PhD focuses on nest drifting behaviour in a tropical paper wasp, Polistes canadensis.
Drifting behaviour occurs in several species of eusocial Hymenoptera such as bees, bumblebees, and wasps including Polistine wasps. Drifters move to nests of the same or different species in order to usurp queen position or lay their eggs with the aim of living as a parasite inside the visited colony (social parasitism). Nest drifting behaviour in P. canadensis was recently identified as an other alternative reproductive strategy, whereby drifting wasps may gain indirect fitness benefits by helping raise related brood on several different nests instead of focusing helps in their natal nest (to which wasps are always more closely related). During my PhD, I will determine whether these discrepancies in indirect fitness benefits can be explain in terms of productivity, relatedness and queen/nest quality. In other words, I will explore whether drifters maximise their inclusive fitness by investing the most help in nests where the pay-offs are the greatest. Moreover, the evolution of drifting behaviour and its importance remain poorly investigating because of the difficulties of quantifying drifting with traditional methods. Thus I will use a new monitoring technology, radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging, which provide more accurate data. This project on nest drifting behaviour in P. canadensis is supervised by Prof. Laurent Keller in collaboration with Dr. Seirian Sumner from The Zoological Society of London.

Sensing with colors

Felicia Ungureanu

Promotion date: 6. September 2012

Promotor: Prof. dr. Vinod Subramaniam

Assistant promotor: Dr. Rob Kooyman

A new optical method is introduced, based on monitoring properties of many individual gold nanoparticles for the detection of low concentrations of biomolecules. The proof of principle was demonstrated and the performance of the method was determined in an application for protein detection and quantification.

Two different sensing strategies were investigated: the label-free and amplified assay. Additionally, introduced was the concept of parallel detection of multiple individually addressed nanoparticles, capable of determining analyte concentrations, orders of magnitude below the inverse affinity constant.. The theoretical findings were experimentally validated in the remaining of the manuscript.

The colorimetric detection method of binding events on individual gold nanoparticles as sensing elements, was presented. An analysis software has been developed to translate the colour changes of the gold nanoparticles, due to binding events into quantified values (e.g. the number of proteins and the number of binding events).

Single binding events can be detected using colorimetric dark field microscopy. The results presented here, combine single molecule sensitivity with parallel detection ability, multiplexing and general applicability to most specific binding reactions.

Were novel research characteristics involved in your PhD research?

The main aim in our project was to develop a new optical method for the detection of very low concentrations of molecules using gold nanoparticles as sensing platforms. The physical principle consists of monitoring spectral shifts due to molecular binding on multiple individual gold nanoparticles. The novelty in our method is given by the detection principle. Here a colour camera is employed, to visualize multiple individual coloured dots each of them representing an individual nanoparticle, and monitor the changes in the colour of these dots while biomolecules bind to them.

The method is tempting, as the basic idea is very simple: one immediately can notice something is happening to the nanoparticles involved. By looking at thousands of such particles, and making a ratio between the number of particles that show a change and the total number of particles present in an image, one can determine a coverage rate (gamma) which can give us the concentration of the biomolecules.

This approach was never done before. As a team, we tried to translate colour changes into quantitative measurements (concentrations). For this purpose, a lot of theoretical studies were involved: to correlate the change in colour of the “nanoparticle” - observed with a colour camera - to a spectral shift and then to a number of biomecules bound per particle.

Two major advantages can be derived from this method: (1) quantification possibilities and (2) the multiplexing, or the possibility to measure multiple species of biomolecules in the same time. Because nanoparticles with various sizes or shapes show different colours, a colour camera can easily distinguish between them. By functionalizing each nanoparticle type with various receptors for distinctive biomolecules, multiple species can be easily detected simultaneously.

Initially the project was towards better measurements concerning the DNA of shi-take mushrooms. Along the way we came up with this method and took up the full area of new research attention, varying from the theory behind all this, experimentation and software development from using the high quality images of the camera.

Was there a special moment during your project, that you recall?

I can say without doubts that the first time I demonstrated that we can detect single binding events using our method, was the most important moment in our project. Because we started this project from scratch and everything was new, doubts were building in.

This poof was a great relief to the team, showing that the method used really was working.

When the scepticism had gone, I performed my analyses and experiments with confidence. This way we were able to demonstrate not only that our method works, also its detection limits (nM for protein detection and fM for DNA detection).

Did it lead to some nice publications?

We had publications in Sensors and Actuators and in Biosensors and Bioelectronics. The titles were: Immunosensing by colorimetric darkfield microscopy of individual gold nanoparticle- conjugates, and: Femtomolar DNA detection by parallel colorimetric darkfield microscopy of functionalized gold nanoparticles.

In what way did the PhD project affect you as a researcher and scientist?

I grew up in many aspects, one could say. I have matured in using my lab skills and in my level of theoretical knowledge. Now I feel like a better, improved scientist, very different from the one I was as a young master graduate.

At first my lab work consisted of ninety percent experimentation and ten percent of organizing my project properly. Now this ratio is switched completely, working much more efficiently. In addition, I know more clearly beforehand what I want to achieve.

What are your future plans?

In my future job, I would like a great deal of research in Life Sciences to be involved. I feel, I am able to give a lot in this field of research. Also I would like microscopy techniques to be involved too, no matter if the research is academic in nature or is taking place in a commercial setting.

What, in your opinion, is important for Mesa+ to stay successful in future?

The facilities at Mesa+ are incredible, as is the expertise and collaboration ability of the technicians. What is shown in sci-fi movies is already possible at Mesa+, I am proud to say, for example the high image microscopy I was able to work with. Being part of people working with this high standard equipment, is a real honor. Keeping up these standards will continue to make Mesa+ known all over the world, as it is the case now already.

AFC Bournemouth 1-4 Tottenham Hotspur: Emphatic comeback win takes Spurs to third

Mauricio Pochettino's men came from behind to beat Bournemouth 4-1 as Harry Kane endures an ankle injury.

REFEREE: Mike Dean(Eng) Rose(min 18) Gosling(min 61)

Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur picked up an emphatic 4-1 comeback win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, despite Harry Kane being taken off injured in the first half due to an ankle injury.

Junior Stanislas scored early in the game for Bournemouth before Kane was taken off and was replaced by Erik Lamela.

Dele Alli equalized for Spurs and three unanswered goals from Tottenham in the second half saw them complete a 4-1 overhaul over the Cherries.

Tottenham rotate after Juventus loss

Bournemouth started with a usual 4-4-2 shape with Adam Smith starting on the right-flank and skipper Simon Francis starting at right-back. The duo of Nathan Ake and Steve Cook started at centre-back, while Harry Arter dropped to the bench as Dan Gosling and Lewis Cook started in the midfield as Callum Wilson and Lys Mousset started as the two men up front.

For Tottenham, Danny Rose and Victor Wanyama came in Ben Davies and Eric Dier. Serge Aurier came back in at right-back for Kieran Trippier.

The front four of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and the mercurial Harry Kane started together.

Mousa Dembele kept his place in midfield.

Well-fought first half

Tottenham made a brisk start to the game by dictating a vast amount of possession in Bournemouth's half. After taking a short corner, Spurs lost possession were caught on the break by the Cherries. Callum Wilson set up Stanislas, who was in on goal but hit the upright in what was an excellent chance to score in the fourth minute of the game. That sparked the beginning of Spurs' struggle at the back and Bournemouth's high tempo start.

Minutes later, an Adam Smith cross was not cleared by Sanchez and it fell to Junior Stanislas, who made no mistake in handing Bournemouth the lead this time around.

Around the 25th minute mark, Spurs grew into the game. A well-worked chance, which comprised an uncountable number of passes, ended in Harry Kane finding the back of the net. The linesmen, however, had his flag up for offside.

As Kane went for the goal though, he ended up injuring his ankle. Minutes later, the Englishman was seen going off towards the tunnel. Erik Lamela came on for Kane in the 34th minute.

A minute later, Spurs got their equalizer. Erik Lamela set up Serge Aurier, who made a dashing run down the right. The full-back swung a terrific cross in and Dele Alli found the back of the net with a half-volley from close range. It was his tenth goal of the season.

The goal saw Spurs give Bournemouth a taste of their own medicine. They kept pressing them with vigour, denying the Cherries any space or time on the ball. On that note itself, they ended the first half on a high.

Spurs blow the Cherries away in the second half

The second half saw Bournemouth start brightly again. Spurs looked creaky at the back. Simon Francis' long-range effort from the right-flank saw Hugo Lloris stretch and keep it out. Spurs began to look threatening on the break and Alli nearly got his second as Aurier's cross met him, but Cook's clearance did the job.

In the 54th minute, Son was brought down in the box but the referee waved play on.

And the Spurs domination paid off. A well-worked move saw Alli play a cross in towards Son, who was now playing up front. With an acrobatic volley which he somewhat scuffed, Son found the back of the net for the third time in two Premier League games to make it 2-1.

Son wraps it up

The game headed towards a stage where both teams began to win and lose midfield battles and neither could do too much going forward.

A chance for Bournemouth fell in the 74th minute. And it was against a long-range effort from Francis, who shot flew over Lloris' goal.

Ten minutes later, Callum Wilson did find the back of the net, but Mike Dean blew his whistle as he had justifiably seen the Englishman bring Sanchez down in the box.

And Spurs took complete advantage of Bournemouth pushing forward. Lewis Cook lost the ball near the box and the ball was played in towards Son, who was in on goal.

He came up with a composed finish to make it 3-1 and to all but seal the deal for Pochettino's men. Spurs soon tripled their lead.

Substitute Kieran Tripper's cross wasn't caught by Begovic and Aurier was there to head it in to take the tie further out of Bournemouth's reach.

The 4-1 win helped Spurs climb up to third in the table, one point ahead of Liverpool.

Zigni House Eritrean and East African Cuisine reviews

By J.

I had such an amazing curry at Zigni House, I just loved the place. Since then though my mate has told me they had a bad experience at Zigni House, anyone else been there who can be objective?

By Laura W.

I tried food there about 3 months ago and I was disappointed by food and service.I see that owner change food and some equipment then I go to try again- unfortunately I was disappointed again! I think owner desperately trying not to bankrupt but not nice food and nervous atmosphere there will not bring new customers and old will run away. I will not come back definitively.

By E A.

And the one star is merely for the sweet albeit febrile waitress who served us! Extremely disappointed with Zigni. Did management change? Had already been there once over the weekend and enjoyed the buffet so I decided to bring a friend this time. Granted we went on a Monday so were not expecting the restaurant to be packed - we were the only diners (subsequently joined by another party an hour later); when we arrived, it looked like it was shut - a guy was showing his painter decorater around and they were actively surveying the premises throughout the meal! Only one waitress, who had no problem cleaning the walls whilst we waited to be served. Drinks and food took ages to arrive, food was lukewarm, hummus was watery with way too much lemon. Worst was when I realised pieces of my chicken were undercooked! When did I sign up for salmonella? We were abandoned for 40 mins and had to go searching for someone to bring the bill (we actually had to call out don the stairs for attention) only to be informed that the card machine was broken and we had to out to the nearest cashpoint-why couldnt we have been told upon arrival? Big Fat fail for Zigni. Beware.

By C T.

We traveled all the way up to Essex Road to try African Cuisine but we were severely disappointed. The food itself was not terrible, but our waitress was incredibly unprofessional and her bad handling of a commonplace problem failed to impress. It took a full hour and a half before our drinks came, but our real trouble started when she served one of our party the wrong order - mixing up the spicy “zigni” curry with the milder “alicha” option that was ordered. This is not an unusual mistake at a restaurant, but the way our waitress handled the situation was extremely unprofessional. She was highly evasive and continually denied the mistake, ignoring us when we attempted to get her attention and point out the problem - only getting to us until the rest of our group had already finished eating. At that point, she then demanded payment for half the erroneous dish or a new order which would have taken another twenty minutes to come. Of course, we instead asked that the single erroneous order be canceled. Instead, she continued to argue with us, before finally consenting to the cancellation. Not content, she later complained to other customers about how “unreasonable” we were, and that we were disrupting her restaurant by simply attempting to talk to her, when it could all have been avoided if she had listened and understood our problem in the first place instead of simply assuming the worst of her customers from the outset. In all, what could have been an enjoyable meal was ruined by a very unprofessional waitress.

By Amanda L.

We went there last week for some cultural event they had going on and we had an amazing time. They had a lot of traditional artifacts and clothes on display, lots of cocktail food and drinks too. And of course who could forget the dancing. Amazing. Was a great Xmas party for us.

By Amanda L.

First time trying Eritrean and Ethiopian food, and all I have to say is wow! Zigni House Restaurant and Bar is soo beautiful with tons of hand made cultural stuff everywhere. Almost looks like a gallery. The food was to die for, we went on a Friday night and the place was bubbling with atmosphere! They had some buffet on and we tried it, got a free glass of wine to. The food was so different from what we usually eat and the spices just complimented each other.

We were hoping for some live music too but they didn't have it on that night. I've heard a lot about Zigni House Restaurant and Bar but never visited it before. I regret not going there earlier. But low and behold, I have now become a loyal fan of East African cuisine and will be going there more often.

By Angela F.

Amazing little restaurant found in the not so well known part of Islington. As most people would normally look for eat out places on Upper Street, this little gem of a place is located a few minutes away on Essex Road. The place is quite relaxed and offers a homely and chilled out vibe to atmosphere and service. The food is amazing, I have tasted Eritrean and Ethiopian food in other restaurants but none of them compare to the delicate and deep flavours of the Zigni House restaurant. The service is a little slow, but whole system seems to work because of the very friendly and blaze staff. I didn't enjoy the mixed platter starter they offered because it was not traditional and would like to see more authentic traditional dishes. After speaking to the staff at the restaurant though they did say they were working on a new menu with more variety and a lot more adventurous dishes. Cant wait to go back and try the new menu.

By E.

Four out of Five stars

Zigni House provides the finest of East African cuisine in a welcoming and laid-back environment.

The Venue
A gem of a restaurant hidden on the Essex Road - with only the odd five star review sellotaped to the window to distinguish it from the surrounding curry houses - Zigni House is well worth the bus ride from Angel.

The seating arrangements and African-kitsch decoration have something of the charmingly ad-hoc about them that adds to the general feeling of being invited in for home cooking. Folding chairs and coffee tables are laid out as if for unexpected guests at a dinner party.

The Atmosphere
The relaxed nature of the whole affair, for some one of the restaurant's great assets, can for others seem to be merely negligent service. On a busy night, the place can seem rather understaffed, and a beer can take a fair old while to arrive which isn't good news when confronted with some of the spicier stews.

However, it is by far the most rewarding approach to treat this as a necessary by-product of the restaurant's more positive qualities - the homely atmosphere and excellent quality of food that make you want to stay for hours.

The Food
One of the most popular features of the menu, and a useful trick for beating the long waits, is the buffet which offers unlimited food at a very reasonable price.

A chance to sample the zignis - spicy stews with lots of sauce - and the alichas - mildly spiced stews with a drier texture, all served with the ubiquitous injera - soft, spongy yeasted flatbread - is perfect for the uninitiated or the extremely hungry (or both).

The Last Word
Great quality and reasonable prices - Zigni House is ideal for connoisseurs and the uninitiated.

Virdition will give talent a dynamic and fresh on-line platform to get visibility and seek opportunity, success and fame…. and provide agents a new on-line audition management system and unique new marketing tools that will make them industry leaders….

Build the world’s first and premier social network for the Talent industry that will change forever the way agents find talent and talent fulfills their dreams

The Birth of the Virdition

In April of 2009 William Quinones, the founder of Virdition, remembering his own challenges to break into show business as a dancer and later as the manager of a singing group trying to get exposure and opportunities for his group, decided to build Virdition.

This social networking site for the talent industry was designed to give talented individuals of all types a unique platform to show their talents, manage their search, be aware of opportunities, compete and achieve success.

He designed it for agents and all talent, recognizing that there were very talented people that wanted to be given a chance and agencies and agents that wanted to find fresh new talent, but were weary of the travel, overburdened by the management of the process and the cost of seeking the best for their clients.

Will researched the current search model, decided that he could create a new, comprehensive and effective audition management system that would make the search process simple, organized, less time consuming and on-line. He built an on-line auditioning, submission sorting processes, scheduling, communication, fan and industry rating systems and the ability to have all the talent that responds to a post, present the same song, script, voice over, or performance to facilitate the process and guarantee the result.

On behalf of Will and the entire Virdition team, please explore the site and see what benefits it provides…..and this is just the beginning of so much more he has in mind.

The Strawberry Line

Add The Strawberry Line to your Itinerary

The Strawberry Line

North Somerset

The Strawberry Line Heritage Trail is a 10 mile traffic-free route through the heart of North Somerset linking the Levels to the Mendip Hills.
Part of the Great Western Railway, the Strawberry Line was completed in 1869. It became an important line for passengers and freight carrying dairy produce, stone, and, of course, the famous Cheddar strawberries from which it takes its name.
The line was busy for nearly a century until it was closed in 1965. Since then the line has been reclaimed by nature and is managed to protect and enhance a rich variety of wildlife habitats from ponds and wetlands to limestone grassland and dense scrub.
Work began converting the line to a walking and cycling route in 1983 by volunteers from the Cheddar Valley Walk Society. Improvements are still being made to the route 25 years later and more exciting projects are planned for the future including extending the route. The Strawberry Line project would not be possible without the ongoing support of a variety of volunteers and organisations.

Attractions along the route

Yatton Station is a mainline station with local trains running to/from Weston-super-Mare and Bristol as well as direct trains to London. From Yatton a branch line used to head north to Clevedon and south to Cheddar. This could be used as start point for most if travelling from Weston-super-Mare as it is the easiest way to get to the Strawberry Line.

Biddle Street Site of Special Scientific Interest is drained by a network of ditches that act as 'wet fences' between the fields. These ditches and their banks are rich in wild flowers and home to dragonflies and reed and sedge warblers.

Congresbury Station was once the junction with the Wrington Vale Light Railway.

Thatchers Cider is made in Sandford from apples that are grown locally. The path passes through some of their orchards near Sandford, and you can try or buy their products at the Thatchers Farm Shop in the village. For more, see;

Shute Shelve Tunnel takes the line through the heart of the Mendip Hills and contains several limestone formations.

Winscombe Station has been restored and you can walk a timeline along the platform which ends at the Millennium Green.

Axbridge has changed little over the centuries and visitors can still wander around the charming medieval streets and soak up hundreds of years of history.

Cheddar Reservoir was opened in 1938 and was designed to pump water from underground springs and rivers to serve the population of Bristol.

Cheddar Gorge reaches the 500 feet and the sides of the ravine boast the highest inland cliffs in the country. Cheddar Caves were inhabited by our early ancestors 40,000 years ago and Britain's oldest complete skeleton, Cheddar Man, is on display.

Affordable Beauty Products That Help You Sleep Better

Affordable Beauty Products That Help You Sleep Better

As much as most of us don't want to admit it, human beings need sleep. That's a fact that we can't ignore, no matter how hard we try or how busy our lives are. But there are benefits to spending a third of your day in bed, resting. For one, getting proper sleep helps you live a longer, healthier, happier life. And for two, you can enhance your appearance by making sure you sleep better at night.

Improving the quality of your rest is a great way to help Mother Nature improve upon the natural beauty you already have. And you can do this by utilizing beauty products that do double duty when it comes to improving your overall look and improving your quality of rest. Any of the products listed below can help you relax and get ready for a deep, restorative slumber at night. You can look forward to fewer wrinkles, a more radiant complexion, and no more dark under eye circles when you wake up in the morning. Just keep on reading to find out how.

Put Your Best Face Forward

Let's start off by reiterating one basic fact: nighttime is the best time to apply beauty creams to your skin. Don't get us wrong; applying anti-wrinkle creams in the morning can protect your skin from future damage and act as a good base for your makeup. But during the day is when your skin collects new damage. At night, on the other hand, is when your skin heals the damage it received from earlier in the day. With the right beauty creams, you can double your skin's nightly restorative power with minimal effort. And here are some other sleep products they can help you put your best face forward the next day:

  • Eye Serums. The delicate skin around your eyes needs special attention that normal wrinkle creams usually cannot provide. They specifically target beauty blemishes such as dark circles, crow's feet, puffiness, and sagging of the under eye skin.
  • A Sleep Mask. Make sure your sleep mask is snug enough to block out all light, but not so tight that it's uncomfortable. Sleeping in total darkness coaxes your brain into producing more melatonin. The more melatonin you have, the easier it will be to fall asleep and the more restorative your rest will be.
  • A Satin Pillowcase. Or a silk one, depending on your preference. Cotton pillowcases have a bad reputation for pulling at your hair and absorbing the natural oils produced by your skin. This can leave you with dry skin and split ends. Thankfully, satin and silk do not have these problems.

Hack Your Nose for Better Rest

It's truly profound how influential your sense of smell is. Smelling the right scent at the right time can have a dramatic effect on your physical and emotional well-being. So when it comes to relaxing your body before bed, invest in products that have a pleasant sandalwood, jasmine, lemon, or lavender aroma. Some of those products include:

  • Scented Sprays For Pillows And Sheets - Be sure to give your pillows and sheets and light spritzing with one of these to help you drift off to dreamland.
  • Scented Diffusers - This safer alternative to an aromatherapy candle keeps your bedroom smelling like a sweet, relaxing oasis all night long.
  • Aromatherapy Pulse Point Serum - Your natural body heat combined with essential oils create a pleasant aroma that helps you relax into a deep sleep.

Head-To-Toe Beauty Buys for Better Sleep

Between your nose, eyes, and face, we've covered all the bases when it comes to improving both your sleep and your complexion from the neck up. There are also beauty products you can get that will improve your aesthetic from head to toe. Here are some of our favorites that you might want to try it out:

Bath Bombs aren't just a fun, popular new beauty craze that make your baths more interesting. The chemical reaction that happens when you throw one of these delightful bathtime accessories in the water helps disperse moisturizers, essential oils, and delightful fragrances into the tub. It's a great way to help set yourself up for a warm, comfy soak before you dry off and curl up in bed.

Bath Soaks don't have to be used on their own; you can combine a moisturizing bath soak with a bath bomb, or any of the other bathtime accessories on this list. The essential oils help make your skin soft and smooth, while the relaxing fragrance can help relieve stress and anxiety - two major causes of insomnia.

Scented Candles are ideal for relaxing in a tub full of water. Lighting a candle anywhere else in the house comes with a certain amount of risk - especially if you fall asleep and forget to put the flame out. But lighting a lavender or lemon scented candle for 20 to 30 minutes while you soak in the tub can really help you get relaxed and ready to sleep.

Magnesium Flakes, not to be confused with epsom salt, can also be combined with any of the other products on this list. The magnesium in the flakes gets absorbed through your skin, promoting a feeling of relaxation and drowsiness. It can also help soothe sore muscles after a hard workout. Just make sure to put your hair up and keep it out of the water; direct exposure to magnesium can make hair strands brittle.

Get a Little Help from Herbal Sleep Supplements

All the beauty products we've discussed so far are great for helping you get the rest you need from head to toe - on the outside, that is. But if you want to help the internal match the external, then you may want to get a little help from an herbal sleep remedy while you're at it. As long as your bedtime supplement contains natural ingredients, it'll be much safer for you then any prescription or over-the-counter sleeping pill. Our favorites contain things like hops, melatonin, valerian root, and more. So when you combine the right beauty products with the right herbal sleep remedy, you're virtually guaranteed to get the best possible rest.

The economic impact of vitamin D deficiency

Posted on: December 2, 2015   by  Missy Sturges

A recent study determined that vitamin D deficiency is linked with a significant financial burden on hospitals and third party payers.

Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem, affecting at least a third of the population; though, some researchers believe an even greater number of people may be deficient.

Although many individuals who are vitamin D deficient present no symptoms at all, research has shown that low vitamin D status is associated with a prolonged length of hospital stay and an increased risk of mortality in critically ill individuals.

Despite the abundant research on the health implications of vitamin D deficiency in the hospital setting, no studies to date have evaluated the economic implications of this.

Therefore, researchers recently aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D deficiency (< 18 ng/ml) and intensive care unit (ICU) cost, total hospital cost, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), myocardial infarction (MI) and total hospital stays. Critically ill patients with either VAP, or those who have had a MI (heart attack), may experience an increased length of hospital stay, cost of care and risk of mortality.

Here is what the researchers found:

  • Of the 565 patients, those with vitamin D levels less than 18 ng/ml experienced an increased incidence of VAP (24.3% vs. 15.5%, P= 0.024).
  • 6% of vitamin D deficient individuals suffered MI, compared to 2.8% in those with vitamin D level > 18 ng/ml (P = 0.031).
  • Those with low vitamin D levels stayed in the ICU longer than those with higher vitamin D levels (11.4 ± 0.95 vs. 8.11 ± 1.1 days, P= 0.03),
  • Low vitamin D status was linked with an increased ICU financial cost ($43,965 ± 3,683 vs. 31,274 ± 4,311, P=0.033) and Hospital ward cost ($29,780 ± 2,501 vs. 19,418 ± 1,923, P=0.005).
  • VAP and MI’s added $40,000 and $70,000 to hospital costs, respectively.

The researchers concluded,

“Vitamin D3 deficiency is associated with a significant financial impact on hospital and third party payers. Further studies are needed to calculate the full economic impact on hospitals, states, countries, and third party payers.”

Bush Warns of Increased Pressure Against Iran If Controversial Nuclear Work Continues

President Bush has warned of increased pressure against Iran, unless the country agrees to abandon its uranium enrichment program.

At the White House Friday, Mr. Bush said he and visiting Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda agreed that a nuclear-armed Iran would threaten the security of the Middle East and beyond. Mr. Bush said he wants to solve the crisis through diplomatic means.

In a report Thursday, the U.N. nuclear agency credited Iran with substantial progress in revealing details about its nuclear program, but said that Tehran continues to defy U.N. Security Council demands to stop uranium enrichment. The enrichment process can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Fruday called on world powers to admit a mistake in approving two U.N. Security Council resolutions against Iran based on what he said was wrong information.

State television quotes Mr. Ahmadinejad as saying the IAEA report is "relatively realistic" and to a great extent free of the influence of world powers. He also called on the United States to change its behavior.

The United States on Thursday said it intends to continue to push for a third round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran.

A German foreign ministry spokesman says the IAEA report shows that Iran has still not fulfilled its international obligations over its nuclear activities and continues to pursue enrichment work.

A European diplomatic source says a meeting planned for Monday in Europe among Germany and the five permanent U.N. Security Council members has been postponed because the Chinese could not attend.

China and Russia, both permanent U.N. Security Council members, have been reluctant to support more sanctions.

Meanwhile, Russia's state-owned nuclear fuel producer says the IAEA will soon start inspecting and sealing nuclear fuel from Russia that is to be delivered to the Bushehr nuclear power plant that Russia is helping build in Iran.

The United States and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons -- a charge Iran denies.

  • all seasons

Just Cavalli's nominal safari theme was justification enough for the use of the house's signature animal prints. For Resort, a zebra pattern was worked up into daywear and evening gowns that will ring up for under $1,000. The only surprise here came from an anomalous navy shirtdress that was surprisingly office-friendly. But the fact that this collection toes the party line should appeal to main-label Cavalli lovers who are watching the bottom line.

TRAINER Philip Hobbs and jockey Richard Johnson took the honours at Ffos Las with a 44-1 treble through Pateese, Doctor Foxtrot and Ballytober.

Pateese got the ball rolling with an emphatic first success in the Glyn Abbey Maiden Hurdle after three placed attempts.

The 6-4 favourite took it up down the back after the leader Di Kaprio had been carried wide when early pacesetter Stays All Night unseated his rider at the second flight.

The six-year-old, who had been turned over when odds on in his previous race, pulled clear in the straight, jumping with authority to score by three and threequarter lengths from Ballinteni with James Pollard five lengths away third.

Doctor Foxtrot (5-1) made it a quick double when landing division one of the Komatsu Mining Maiden Hurdle.

Rangitoto looked as though he was heading for success when holding a clear lead as they turned into the straight, but his advantage was gradually reduced.

Doctor Foxtrot, who had been hampered when The Humble Monk fell early on, wore down the Paul Nicholls hope on the run-in to get up close home and score by half a length. Jump Up was 18 lengths away in third spot.

Johnson was banned for one day (February 10) for using his whip with excessive frequency.

However, he had the last laugh when making all on Ballytober (2-1 favourite) in the Burchell’s Transport Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race.

French import As De Fer got off the mark for trainer Anthony Honeyball at the third attempt with an easy success in the Barry Walters Catering Novices Handicap Chase.

Plunkett looked the only threat in the straight, although he was eight lengths back in second, when he made a mess of the penultimate fence. Paul Moloney did his best to stay in the saddle, but he was finally unseated.

That left Welsh jockey Sam Thomas to steer the 10-1 chance to victory by 27 lengths from One And All.

“We were a bit concerned as to what to do with him really, but he did have one race over fences in France so we thought we’d slow things down a bit and put him in a handicap chase as he’s only got one gear,” said the Dorset handler.

“We just felt that he had a handicap mark so we may as well use it and he’s got the five-year-old allowance.

“We wanted him to go his own gallop and to get used to the jumps over here.

“When we ran him over hurdles we thought he would go all right, but they quickened up and he was nowhere. It’s just amazing the difference.”

The Ashford on Broad

Repurpose with a Purpose

Adaptive reuse of old hotel provides value-driven assisted living. A revolutionary idea in the marketplace.

Opened in September 2016, The Ashford on Broad provides assisted living services and amenities to seniors of all income levels and created 70 new jobs.

“This new product addresses a large and significantly underserved market,” said Wallick’s CEO Tom Feusse. “Wallick is uniquely positioned to do so, given our experience in both assisted living and affordable housing.”

“This project is clearly unique because it’s one of the very few assisted living communities designed to serve this specific market segment,” said Feusse. “It’s also quite timely, considering that well over 50 percent of seniors today cannot afford assisted living.”

Along with the purchase came 150 fully furnished rooms. Wallick’s Heart of Service Committee, an associate-led group focused on giving through service, coordinated an effort to provide hundreds of items including beds, linens, towels, furniture, appliances and more to three local nonprofit charities.

More Information:
Location: Whitehall (Columbus), Ohio
Owner: Wallick Communities
Architect: Kontogiannis & Associates
Builder/Contractor: Wallick Construction
Date of Completion: Fall 2016
Project Size: 131 assisted living suites

MoP CE Pet and Terrible Turnip Preview

June 12, 2012
Terrible Turnip - is he really so terrible?
Collector's Edition Pet
A new beta build will be deployed shortly. Datamined from the latest patch are hints of what the MoP Collector's Edition pet will be — a Lucky Quilen Cub! [source]

The Quilen creature is a lion-like creature, as seen here, that can be found on the island of Pandaria.

In addition to a companion, a mount version of this intriguing creature was discovered as well. The Imperial Quilen is also labeled as a Collector's Edition item.

This is the first instance in which a CE mount was discovered along with a companion pet. It's not clear if players will receive both the pet and the mount after attaching a CE version of the expansion to their account, or if players will have to choose between one or the other.

The Terrible Turnip
Ever wondered what an unusually large turnip minipet would look like?

Well, look up top!

In addition, MMO-Champion has two more screenshots of what appear to be a turnip and a carrot; the former being appropriately named "turnippet"!
