I’ve known Candice (Dr. Perkins) for about 7yrs through our Martial Arts training. Her motivation, self-assurance and perseverance is inspiring to me, other women and fellow students. Her patience and knowledge in her teachings are always consistent. I took my son to her for some medical issues and she was informative, caring and made him feel like there was a light at the end of his suffering. I was also treated for my shoulder and called her on my way home to say that i couldn’t believe the pain I had for a year just vanished!! I was excited and shocked but she wasn’t. She was confident in her work. I will continue to guide people to her for help and look forward to continuing our training together. L. Cerbone

St. James, New York

I first went to see Dr. Perkins for cold laser treatment with my Mom who was suffering from excruciating headaches. My mom had been to several doctors and tried different medications with no relief. Needless to say we were desperate and after one treatment my mom noticed improvement and after a few treatments the headaches were completely gone! I was skeptical at first but after seeing how it helped my Mom I myself went for treatment for fatigue and I was amazed at how energized I felt the next day. I have become a firm believer in the benefits of cold laser treatments and I highly recommend Dr. Perkins. Pat Erath

Westbury, New York

I took my daughter to Dr. Perkins because of digestive issues she has been having. The laser treatments have helped my daughter quickly and tremendously. She experienced relief after the first session so I decided to try it for my sinuses. After about two treatments, my sinuses felt open, more clear and the pressure went away. Dr. Perkins explained everything to me in an easy to understand manner before she did any treatments on me or my daughter. Not only were the treatments successful, but Dr. Perkins is very knowledgeable in this field and is a kind and caring professional. I highly recommend cold laser treatments with Dr. Perkins. KT

Anya Krey Solo Girl Masturbation VR Video Review

by | July 22, 2018

Beautiful Anya Krey is one of the most stunning girls in VR porn, and here she gives us an intimate exploration of her nubile body with a solo masturbation show.

Anya Krey Stars in ‘Anya’s Moment of Passion’

Anya Krey is definitely one of my favourite VR porn stars at the moment. Hopefully we’ll see her in action at more sites, but for the moment she only appears to be acting for Virtual Taboo, the most depraved VR porn site ever, to which her innocent, nubile body is perfectly suited to. In this 5K 3D VR porn movie, she gives another natural and convincing performance in a solo masturbation show. Nothing out of the ordinary about this scene, other than her fantastic tattoo free natural breasted body. Although she looks Russian/Ukrainian, with an exotic twist, she’s listed at various sites as being Turkish or even Portuguese, so I really don’t know. Whereever she is from, she is just about as perfect as it gets.

Support for chairs and non-executives

Useful information for newly appointed chairs and non-executive directors of NHS providers to support them in their roles.

Values and behaviours

Public service values are at the heart of the NHS and as a chair or non-executive director, you're expected to subscribe, understand and commit to the personal behaviours, values, technical competence and business practices outlined in the The standards for members of NHS boards and clinical commissioning group governing bodies in England.

The NHS Leadership Model describes nine behaviours that contribute towards strong and effective NHS leaders. You'll need to demonstrate this range of behaviours and the highest standards of conduct required to contribute effectively in your role.

The fit and proper persons requirement also plays a major part in ensuring that people with director level responsibility for the quality and safety of care, and for meeting the fundamental standards, are suitable to carry out these important roles. If your circumstances change then please alert your trust of anything that may affect your suitability for appointment. Our guidance explains the requirement in more detail.

A comprehensive local induction programme is critical to the success of new chairs and non-executive directors. Your individual trusts will determine how they are delivered depending on local circumstances but an overview of areas that should be covered is set out in our guidance.

Participation in more formal induction training is also important and we're working with NHS Providers to offer a structured induction programme for all new appointees.  Further information is available on their website.

The NHS foundation trusts: Code of Governance and The Healthy NHS board outline principles for good governance to support boards in exercising their responsibility to put quality at the heart of all they do.

Declaration of interests

Chairs and non-executive directors should act impartially and you should not be influenced by social or business relationships. No one should use their public position to further their private interests and any conflict of interest needs to be dealt with in accordance with existing codes that operate within your trust.

Where there is a potential for private interests to be material and relevant to NHS business, you should declare the relevant interests so they can be recorded in the board minutes and entered into a register which is available to the public. Where a conflict of interest is established, the board director should withdraw and play no part in the relevant discussion or decision.

Performance appraisal

An effective appraisal process is important to ensure that chairs and non-executives feel motivated, well supported and confident to deal with the many issues and challenges they will face in their role. An effective appraisal will enable chairs and non-executives to evaluate their performance, receive constructive feedback, build upon strengths and address any areas for development.

Chairs are responsible for ensuring that non-executive directors receive regular appraisals of their performance, at least annually. Trusts can determine the approach to appraisal that is most relevant to their own circumstances. To support an effective appraisal process we have created a good practice guide.

Chair networks

We co-ordinate events for provider chairs to discuss topical issues and challenges and to receive an update on what’s happening in their region. Email our Non-Executive Development Manager, Keely Howard for more information.

Visiting guidelines

If you are required to visit wards or other areas with access to patients as part of your role, please ensure:

  • it is clear why you are visiting and what your expected outcome is
  • the visit is planned beforehand, identifying where you are going and who you'll need to speak to, notifying senior staff well in advance
  • you are accompanied when visiting areas that give access to patients
  • you identify yourself to ward staff who should be clear about the purpose of your visit
  • when speaking to patients ensure you explain who you are and why you're visiting

Public appointments made by NHS Improvement

We have a specific role in appointing and supporting NHS trust chairs and non-executive directors. Although the information is specific to the NHS trust chairs and non-executive director appointments, NHS foundation trusts may find this a useful source of guidance for their own appointments.

By John Cromwell

Life estates are often used in estate planning to help expedite the transfer of property between a decedent and his beneficiaries. Due to life estates' unique nature in regard to probate, people can be confused as to what role the executor plays in distributing the underlying property. The purpose of a life estate is to ensure that property is transferred without having to rely on probate. Therefore, the role of the executor is generally limited to ensuring the underlying property is quickly transferred to the next owner after the life tenant passes away. Any appreciation of the property during the tenant's life is transferred to the person receiving the property after the tenant's death.

Life Tenant Defined

A life estate grants a person, otherwise known as the life tenant, the right to use property during his life. After the life tenant passes away, the property is automatically transferred “as is” to another person without having to go through probate. The life tenant is responsible for maintaining the property while she owns its. The life tenant’s use of the property is subject to restriction; she cannot sell the property or act in a way that would diminish the value of the property without the consent of the individuals who will own the property after her.

Donor as Life Tenant

Many times a person creates a life estate with themselves as life tenant. A donor may do this for numerous reasons, such as for medical benefit purposes or to ensure the property goes to the individuals she wants without tying the property up in probate. In the context of a person’s passing, many may associate the term beneficiary as someone who receives property subject to a will. More broadly, a beneficiary is anyone who is named to receive assets from a legal device that distributes property. So if the life tenant is the original donor of the property, her beneficiaries would be defined by the document creating the life estate and not her will.

Protect your loved ones. Start My Estate Plan

Life Tenant as Recipient

If the life tenant was granted use of the property by another, she does not get to define who receives the property after her. Who receives the property after the life estate is defined by the person who created the life estate in the first place and transferred the property to the life tenant.

Role of Exeuctor

An executor’s role is to initiate the probate of a decedent’s will, collect and inventory the assets and distribute the property to the appropriate beneficiaries. While the property subject to a life estate is supposed to legally transfer automatically after the tenant passes away, the practical issues of moving out the decedent’s property and ensuring the physical transfer may fall largely on the executor.

Appreciation of the Property in Life Estate

When the life tenant passes away and the property is transferred, the beneficiary obtains the property at the market value of the property at the time of the decedent’s death. This should include all appreciation that may have occurred during the life tenant’s use of the property. If the life tenant was the one who created the life estate in the first place, the entire value of the property is included in the estate for estate tax purposes only; however, the property is still excluded from the estate for probate purposes.

Can a Life Estate Be Assigned to Someone Else in West Virginia?

A life estate grants rights to property for the duration of the holder's life. In West Virginia, as in other states, the holder has the right to assign or transfer his life estate rights to another party. Those with specific life estate questions should seek professional advice.

The Basis for Donating Inherited Property

Donating inherited property helps the charitable organization to which the donation is made, but it also helps the donor by creating a potentially substantial charitable contribution tax deduction. The extent of the available tax deduction to the donor depends in part on the donor's basis in the property, which is the value of the property for taxation purposes at the time that the property is inherited.

Real Estate Laws for Lifetime Rights to Land in North Carolina

Generally, when someone passes away and leaves you land, you can do whatever you want with the land, including selling it. However, sometimes the owner can choose to leave you with lifetime rights to the land -- a so-called life estate -- instead of giving you outright ownership, whether the goal is to keep creditors at bay or to control the way the land is transferred after you pass away. Like other states, North Carolina permits landowners to give life estates, but special rules apply to this type of transfer.

Simon Holmes (by Karo Tak)

Karo Tak worked with Simon at Alfalfa House, a not-for-profit food co-op that aims to provide minimally processed/packaged, affordable, organic food to its members.
I met Simon at Alfalfa House Food Co-op where I worked for a few years (I have not lived in Australia for two years now, I am currently located in Lisbon, Portugal) I have such fond memories of him. Simon always was my ultimate favourite customer when he was still a member, he always did a big shop which meant we had a lot of time to talk, and we talked about everything. He especially loved talking about his family, proudly sharing the developments and growth of his young daughter in particular.  I referred to his family as “his unit” for some reason that stuck, every time I would see him I would ask about “his unit”. Then a lot later when Simon became the manger at Alfalfa (something I highly vowed for) the conversations continued. We talked about so many things. Simon was a man with such dignity, he was so wonderful with words, so humble, so kind, such a golden heart and his sense of humour so similar to mine. He reminded me a lot about my father actually, who unfortunately also passed away last year. Simon felt over responsible though at times, a very sensitive man and I always felt what was really going on with Simon he kept concealed and in a way hidden. I also remembered how embarrassed he was when we played The Hummingbirds in the shop (I LOVE the band!) we could only play it when he wasn’t around.
I always expressed my appreciation of Simon, something I am very grateful for. In my last period of working at Alfalfa I also was the Head Chef at Lentils as Anything, a place Simon really supported and he frequently came in for a bite and a chat. He always made time for everyone. At all times. We shared a lot. He was always so supportive of all my other side projects, my vegan cooking, my yoga classes and the move I was planning to Europe to start my own cafe. The last emails I received from him were always full of love, support, kindness and this pride a mentor gives you. I believe he was a mentor for many, with his music, his writing, but also just with his being and his life experience and incredible knowledge, such an intelligent, well travelled man. I feel blessed that he has been part of my journey and I would like to stress how loved he was. I can’t even imagine anyone not loving this man, because he was so loving, so sweet, so funny, such a wonderful soul. May he travel safe and keep shining his light……
My ultimate blessings of support and guidance go out to his “unit” in this rough time. My heart goes out to you!
Simon Holmes, remember what I told you the word guilt does not exist in Sanskrit….. fly free.
You made this world a better place simply by existing, you will be missed!

Brominated and organophosphorus flame retardants in body wipes and house dust, and an estimation of house dust hand-loadings in Dutch toddlers

    loading  Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid

Children generally have higher Flame Retardant (FR) concentrations in serum compared to other age groups. Toddler behavior enhances direct contact with house dust since their frequent presence proximate to the floor, and their mouthing behavior. This study aimed to thoroughly investigate FR levels in body wipes of toddlers 8–18 months old) and in indoor dust using a noninvasive sampling technique. In this cross-sectional study, body wipes from hands, mouth and back, and indoor household dust samples were collected in twenty-one families and analyzed for one brominated- and seven organophosphorus FRs (polybrominated diphenyl ether 209 (BDE209), tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCIPP), tris(chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl) phosphate (TDCIPP), tris(phenyl) phosphate (TPHP), tris(methylphenyl) phosphate (TMPP), resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) and bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate)). Accelerated solvent extraction was used for extraction and the extract was measured with liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. Non-parametric correlation analyses were performed to assess associations. All FRs were detected in body- and indoor dust samples (median range: 1.0 ng/hand wipe (BDE209) to 65 ng/hand wipe (TCIPP)) and were mostly correlated with each other. We estimated that approximately 260 mg dust (range 50–880 mg) accumulated on toddler's hands per day. Hand-to-mouth frequency was negatively associated with FR levels in wipes (τ = −0.38, p = 0.04). With increasing age FR concentrations (BDE209, TCEP, TDCIPP, TPHP and TMPP) on hands decreased significantly (p = 0.01–0.03). Girls had significantly less FRs (TCEP, TCIPP, TPHP and TMPP) on the hands (p = 0.01–0.03) than boys. This is to the best of the authors’ knowledge the first study in Europe that measured brominated- as well as organophosphorus FRs in several types of body wipes from toddlers and that estimated the amount of house dust that accumulates on toddler's hands.

Six reasons to try an escape room in DC!

Escape rooms are a relatively new phenomena in the US, but what is this craze about? Why do people flood to try the newest escape games in almost every US city? Maybe you heard about friends who tried it, but still need a few good reasons to be convinced! Luckily for you, Insomnia Escape Room DC is here to help you out! Here’s our list for the top six reasons to why trying an escape game is a great idea!

#1 An escape room in DC with complete immersion

First, let’s settle the basics. An escape game (or exit game, escape room) is an often room-sized puzzle, where you and your partners (often co-workers, friends or family) have to solve riddles and challenges to get out in a given time. You win if you escape in time, you lose, if you cannot solve the puzzle! The quality of escape games vary from town to town, but the best rooms try to offer an experience of complete immersion. After all, no movie or play is complete without a great set! The same applies to Washington DC escape rooms: many offer thematic adventures and challenges, but few make the extra mile of crafting a complete, professional set to maximize your game experience! Here at Insomnia we believe that immersion is key, and that is why we designed and built our rooms from the ground up!

”To complete your escape room dc experience we provide costumes, props, and much, much more!”

#2 Your private escape game experience

Escape games are popular around the world, with a new room popping up in every major city of the globe almost daily. Strangely, most businesses in the States decided to offer mixed tours, meaning you pay a per person price, and then you are put together with complete strangers. This is a uniquely American approach to escape games. Here at Insomnia, however, we believe that the essence of escape games lie in the joy of solving a challenge as a team, and sharing the experience of success with someone you care about. That is why we only offer private games, meaning you only play with friends, family, co-workers. No strangers, you get what you paid for! Simple as that!

#3 Better than sitting in a bar

Ok, hear us out on this one! There is nothing better than unwinding at a bar after a long week, there is no debating here. However, after a while, every group of friends prefer mixing it up a bit, it is natural. This is where escape games come in! There is no better group activity out there currently, then trying to solve a challenging puzzle in an immersive environment!

“And yes, after the success of escaping from the room, you can always head back to the bar and talk about your experience!”

#4 Takes you out of your regular shell

Getting bogged down in your regular routine is not great for one’s mental hygiene. Every once in awhile, it is good to bust out of our shell and try something new. Training the brain is a must in today’s stressful world, and escape room DC is definitely something that will oil your problem-solving gears!

#5 A great family activity

Organizing a proper family activity can be a nightmare, and when you finally manage to sync everyone’s schedule, often finding the proper entertainment can be even more difficult! Luckily, finding an activity that entertaints all members of your family, regardless of age, occupation and hobby interests, is no longer a hassle! From experience speaking, once a family enters an Insomnia Escape Room DC game, all of these differences disappear! In a blink of an eye every member of the family is knee deep in solving the riddle! How rare is that?

#6 Escape room, the real virtual reality!

Posting photos in Instagram like a pro
These tips will surely come in handy for you.
It is necessary to keep developing your Instagram account in the right way. It is impossible to stop only on the correct page layout: you also need to learn the basics of posting a photo on Instagram. This article will give you some important recommendations that will help you to publish new pictures according to all the canons of effective promotion.

Remain active

Falling out of sight is not allowed, so do not leave your subscribers without fresh pictures for a long time. If you want noticeable results from the promotion of your account, then we recommend to arrange an automatic daily posting of photos in Instagram. This way you will always be in sight, and your followers will constantly receive fresh content from you. If there are situations when it is difficult for you to spread new pictures, please inform your subscribers about a temporary pause.

Do not post too much

Cluttering up their followers feed updates is not worth it either. You do not need to be too intrusive, so give up plans for hourly posting photos in Instagram. Better upload 2-3 photos a day - this is enough to maintain active development of your account. If you have a lot of new content that you want to share, then publish it in Stories mode - so you will show subscribers more of your photos, and will not clog their news feed.

Choose the right time

To post a photo in Instagram there is a certain time of day suitable. We recommend publishing new pictures in the morning, lunch or in the evening. It is at these intervals that Instagram users are most active on the network, so your photos will have a higher chance of getting increased coverage.

Maintain your Instagram account with Instalex

Posting photos in Instagram can be made much more convenient with Instalex. Our service offers its users the ability to configure automatic publication of new records and their simplified editing.

Accreditation for CDM 2015 Dutyholders and Advisors

CDM - Co-ordinator FAQs: How and Why to Join ICS

Who can apply to join?

The Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007 provide the opportunity for suitably qualified and experienced design and construction professionals to become consultants in relation to the safe design, construction, maintenance and demolition of buildings and structures. If they are a member of an appropriate accrediting organisation such as the Institution for Construction Safety (ICS), and are included in the register of competent persons, the Regulations and Approved Code of Practice recognise that this is a measure of assured competence for Clients looking for a CDM Co-ordinator.

What are the requirements for membership?

Any construction professional, with an interest in and commitment to Health and safety in construction will be entitled to apply to join the Institution.
Membership (M.Inst.CS) is open to all construction professionals who can demonstrate the following:

Applicants who may not have a professional or vocational qualification, but can demonstrate their knowledge and experience along with the following specific requirements may be eligible and would, in addition to criteria in 1.2 above, submit the following with their application:

When a Member has demonstrated competency to carry out the duties of CDM Co-ordinator (CDM-C) their name is included on the CDM-C Register.

All applications will be considered by the Membership Committee.

The member application form is available for download here >>

Why should I join?

The benefit of membership is accreditation as a health and safety professional, and in particular, if a member is accredited as a CDM Co-ordinator (CDM-C), this is a marketing tool for the member's business and a means by which clients can procure a CDM-C by referring to the register.

Return to top

What are the categories of membership?

There are 6 categories of membership, but members will usually fall into two main categories – Member and Associate:

Member (M.Inst.CS)see above

Associate Member (AM.Inst.CS) – awarded to those who do not meet all the requirements for full Membership but are working in health and safety and are committed to improving construction safety. In certain cases, Associate members who are suitably qualified can be included in the CDM-C Register.

Fellow (F.Inst.CS) – awarded to Members of the Institution who have given particularly distinguished service.

Technical (TICS) – awarded to those who do not yet have the appropriate academic qualifications but do have a working involvement in CDM Co-ordination and are committed to improving safety in the Construction Industry.

Honorary Membership (Hon MICS) – A non member who will be elected in recognition of service to the ICS.

How do I become a CDM Co-ordinator member of the ICS?

By making an application on the forms available from ICS or downloadable from this website.

Return to top

Why should I be on a register?

The Regulations and Approved Code of Practice both make reference to competence and the register. By being on the register a member's details can be confirmed by clients when considering an appointment (following receipt of consultant proposals or tender). The register also provides clients wishing to make enquiries about a CDM Co-ordinator service to source contact details of accredited CDM Co-ordinators.

Where is the register kept?

The register is held at ICS offices and is available online.

What support is ICS providing for members?

The ICS provides a NewsFile containing information and news relevant to practice as a CDM Co-ordinator or Health and Safety consultant. There are regular updates by email and links to other information sources.

Member Services include:

Return to top

What will it cost to apply to join the ICS?

The standard joining fee to be a member of the Scheme is £135.00. Associate Membership is available for £105.00. Membership will run annually from the beginning of each calendar year.

Are there any further checks?

Yes, it is a requirement that ICS audit their members' competency and every member will be audited at least once within the first 5 years. The details of the audit procedure will be published soon. In the event of a complaint or repeated queries about a member, ICS may make a spot check.

What happens if I fail an audit?

We think it unlikely that any member who has demonstrated competency will fail an audit, however if that happens then ICS can suspend or rescind membership, ICS may recommend undertaking in-depth training prior to resubmitting to join. In the event that a member of the scheme feels that they have been unfairly treated then their case will be assessed by an independent appeals panel. Irrespective of the final decision the member will not be entitled to a refund of their joining or annual membership fees.

Return to top

Who checks ICS?

There is no agency who oversees the operation of ICS and their performance is not regulated by statute. However, ICS methodology of assessing and ensuring maintenance of member competency is discussed with HSE. ICS also participates in reviews of CDM with HSE.

Do I need to renew my membership?

Annual renewal is required to maintain membership of ICS and the member’s details on the register.

Can I be removed from the register?

Yes, members who fail to maintain their membership of the ICS or fail to demonstrate competency when asked, or are subject to any form of disciplinary procedure by their professional body can be removed from the register.

What will be included in the Register?

The member's name and contact address details. The register will also include information about a member's area of specialism as a guide to clients who are selecting a suitable CDM-C. The onus is still on the Client to make suitable further checks on the competence and suitability of a prospective CDM-C.

The Women’s Rumble And The State of Women’s Wrestling

So WWE just did their first ever women’s royal rumble match. It was mostly great but it left me with a lot to unpack. A lot of good stuff to unpack but also a lot of bad stuff.

Let’s start off nice. It was a really good match. It was a big deal, it was given time to breathe, it had a great narrative and it was filled with some really fun and endearing and awesome moments. I can barely remember the last truly good rumble, and for WWE to pull off not one but two in a single night is mindblowing. I barely thought it was humanely possible. Once in a blue moon WWE can pull their shit together. Not that they didn’t pull any disappointments but I’ll talk more about that later.

Second of all, the first ever Japanese rumble winner. And the second ever Japanese rumble winner the same night. And the first ever woman to win a rumble was a person of colour who speaks English as a second language. More importantly, she’s maybe the greatest and most deserving performer on the planet. Asuka is genuinely sublime. She has an awesome presence, and her monumental winning streak shows the unprecedented patience and confidence she’s earned from WWE. It hasn’t been smooth sailing since she got to the main roster but gosh darn it this win cements her legacy. This win can never be taken away (as much as they’ve seemingly already tried).

And of course the match even existing is brilliant. Women’s wrestling has come a long way in a few short years, to the point where WWE actively sees it as a good thing to give them an hour long match in the main event of a big four pay-per-view. Their reasoning is pretty cynical and profit-driven, but good women’s wrestling is good women’s wrestling. Countless women have sacrificed themselves only to be underappreciated or crushed by the industry, and the more women get opportunities to be awesome the more we can start to reflect on the past and move on.

But we haven’t reflected and we haven’t moved on. I watched this rumble with a friend who was watching pro wrestling for the very first time, and explaining the stories of many of those women was discomforting. “Yeah that’s Molly Holly. She was a great wrestler who spent most of her career being humiliated for not being attractive”. “Yeah that’s Beth Phoenix. She was in a men’s rumble once but she was there for like a minute and her only spot was eliminating a guy by kissing him”. “Yeah that’s Vickie Guerrero. She worked hard to make an insufferable character work and most of the thanks she got was rampant bullying and fat-shaming on live TV”. And that was only scratching the surface. The crimes that people like Kevin Dunn and Fabulous Moolah have committed against all of women’s wrestling are inexcusable, and they’re the responsibility of WWE. The retroactive decision to pretend they always dignified these performers is a pure self-serving lie.

And speaking of self-serving there’s the PR. The fucking PR. Stephanie “philanthropy is the future of marketing” McMahon glibly took credit for the work of all of those women, and the hype package preceding the match was pure masturbatory garbage. Girl power was trendy 20 years ago, nowadays it’s a little sad to pat yourself on the back for giving women basic respect. The selfishness and cowardice of WWE was made even more tragically apparent when Lita returned bearing a shirt that said #TimesUp, a reference to the campaign against sexual assault in popular culture spaces. Instead of acknowledging it McMahon, rich white saviour of womankind, diverted her attention to talk about “the women who couldn’t be here” and gave out a list topped by sexual abuser The Fabulous Moolah. The late Chyna, a woman whose career was sabotaged by Stephanie’s own husband and who’s been blacklisted by WWE for sex work and drug abuse, was only a reluctant footnote. WWE will also neglect to mention that Lita left the industry because she was a victim of slut-shaming under their watch, and even before that found herself in storylines involving her character being subject to pretty horrific sexual abuse. Truthfully the WWE barely seems to care about the suffering of women past the extent it benefits their image and profits.

On a lighter but still disappointing note this rumble demonstrated that the women’s division still kinda sucks character wise. I had no problem explaining the appeal of virtually every single male performer to my friend, but for many women I could only say “yeah that person is pretty cool and has good moves”. Outside of the token big matches women’s wrestling still tends to wallow in the mid-card. That’s better than the two minute piss break spot it used to occupy, but they’re still in a realm largely devoid of stakes or meaning. You’re either in the title picture or you’re just kinda there. Also even with every single active woman on the current roster and two cameos from NXT it still took 10 legend cameos. And of those 10 you had people like Torrie Wilson and Kelly Kelly who were emblematic of the issues of the “diva” years of WWE. You have to look at that lineup and think “Is this really the only way you could manage 30 female humans in one place?”. Honestly.

Also Ronda Rousey. There’s a lot to unpack with Ronda Rousey. The moment of Asuka winning the first ever women’s rumble stood on its own, that WWE thought they needed to immediately bring in a celebrity to make it matter is pretty disrespectful to the performance those women put on. Moreover WWE’s fixation on novelty acts like her and Brock Lesnar is an overwhelming part of why their current product fails to invest in new talent. They want the easy way out, they want the shreds of mainstream popularity they’ve spent nearly 20 years longing to get back. And on their path to get it they neglect new talent and wonder why they find it hard to build compelling stars. Moreover it was just weird and uncomfortable in a narrative sense. Asuka winning the rumble guarantees her a shot at Wrestlemania for one of the women’s championships, Rousey is neither champion. After such a satisfying conclusive match it was a plain shit move to leave people asking questions. Not to mention the questions they left you asking weren’t built on earned suspense, they were built on a legitimate confusion with narrative intent. It’s just bad storytelling, and they could’ve left the reveal to an episode of Raw rather than blowing it on something that was already a huge deal on its own.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the awful stuff so let’s finish with something positive: Sasha Banks was awesome. Like, this was the first time Sasha as a character has been awesome since NXT. She knows how to be a sassy scumbag, and WWE damn well needs to let her be that again. Also Naomi managed to top Kofi Kingston by doing three of his elimination save spots at once. Wonderful stuff. Make no mistake, this was a really worthwhile watch and I want to see women’s wrestling continue to grow. But for it to be better we need to want better, and we need to make ourselves heard.

Distinct TLR-mediated pathways regulate house dust mite–induced allergic disease in the upper and lower airways

 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Vol.131(2) : 549-561, 2013
Journal Title
 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Issue Date
BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are 2 entities of allergic airway diseases that frequently occur together, which is referred to as united airways. In contrast to this general concept, we hypothesized that innate immunity of the upper and lower airways is respectively distinctive, because the immunologic conditions of the nasal and lung mucosa as well as the functions of the immune cells within their epithelia are different. OBJECTIVE: We wanted to identify distinctive mechanisms of innate immunity in the nose and lung mucosa, which are responsible for house dust mite (HDM)-induced AR and allergic asthma (AA), respectively. METHODS: We constructed a mouse model of AR or AA induced by sensitization and consequent provocation with HDM extracts. RESULTS: HDM-derived β-glucans, rather than LPS, were proven to be essential to activating innate immunity in the nasal mucosa and triggering AR, which depended on Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), but not on TLR4; however, the LPS/TLR4 signaling axis, rather than β-glucans/TLR2, was critical to HDM-induced AA. These differences were attributed to the specific role of β-glucans and LPS in inducing the surface expression of TLR2 and TLR4 and their translocation to lipid rafts in nasal and bronchial epithelial cells, respectively. We also showed that dual oxidase 2-generated reactive oxygen species mediate both β-glucan-induced TLR2 activation and LPS-induced TLR4 activation. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a novel finding of distinctive innate immunity of the nose and lungs, respectively, which trigger AR and AA, by showing the critical role of HDM-induced TLR activation via dual oxidase 2-mediated reactive oxygen species.

Issue Date
BACKGROUND: Delamanid (OPC-67683), a nitro-dihydro-imidazooxazole derivative, is a new antituberculosis medication that inhibits mycolic acid synthesis and has shown potent in vitro and in vivo activity against drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS: In this randomized, placebo-controlled, multinational clinical trial, we assigned 481 patients (nearly all of whom were negative for the human immunodeficiency virus) with pulmonary multidrug-resistant tuberculosis to receive delamanid, at a dose of 100 mg twice daily (161 patients) or 200 mg twice daily (160 patients), or placebo (160 patients) for 2 months in combination with a background drug regimen developed according to World Health Organization guidelines. Sputum cultures were assessed weekly with the use of both liquid broth and solid medium; sputum-culture conversion was defined as a series of five or more consecutive cultures that were negative for growth of M. tuberculosis. The primary efficacy end point was the proportion of patients with sputum-culture conversion in liquid broth medium at 2 months. RESULTS: Among patients who received a background drug regimen plus 100 mg of delamanid twice daily, 45.4% had sputum-culture conversion in liquid broth at 2 months, as compared with 29.6% of patients who received a background drug regimen plus placebo (P=0.008). Likewise, as compared with the placebo group, the group that received the background drug regimen plus 200 mg of delamanid twice daily had a higher proportion of patients with sputum-culture conversion (41.9%, P=0.04). The findings were similar with assessment of sputum-culture conversion in solid medium. Most adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and were evenly distributed across groups. Although no clinical events due to QT prolongation on electrocardiography were observed, QT prolongation was reported significantly more frequently in the groups that received delamanid. CONCLUSIONS: Delamanid was associated with an increase in sputum-culture conversion at 2 months among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. This finding suggests that delamanid could enhance treatment options for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Burlington Weekly Hawkeye April 4, 1863

Burlington Weekly Hawkeye
Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa
April 4, 1863

London Correspondence of the N.Y. Tribune.]

     From Cork and Dublin, too, we get news of actual riots attendant upon the wedding festivities [of Prince of Wales]. The following is an authentic narrative of the scenes which occurred in Cork on Tuesday: About 10 o’clock in the evening a stone was hurled at the windows of a chemist in Winthrop street, which was immediately followed by several others, breaking a quantity of glass. When the crash of the windows was heard, the crowd set up a cheer, which drew the constabulary towards them. At their approach they were assailed with stones and sticks and groans given for them. Stone throwing continuing the police charged and cleared the street at the point of the bayonet, in doing which several persons were knocked down in the rush and injured.
     When driven out of Winthrop the mob ran on to Pembroke street, where they took up a position opposite the Commercial Hotel, and stretched from the Hibernian on one hand to the Post office on the other. Here stone throwing again commenced and the place had to be cleared by the mounted constabulary.- After they had passed on, however, the mob again returned and battered in the window of the Hibernian Hotel, and the illuminated devices outside the house.
     The Commercial Hotel was next turned on, and in less than ten minutes almost every pane of glass in the front, facing Pembroke street was broken. At times the showers of stones thrown from hundreds of hands were really terrifying, breaking in as they frequently did at one volley, the entire sashes of the window, while others of the stones rebounded off the walls of the house, fell among the people, inflicting in many instances severe cuts and bruises.
     A scene of utmost disorder here prevailed. Numbers of people fled terror stricken, while the ruffians who remained only redoubled their efforts on beholding the consternation and destruction they were causing. Such was the determination of the mob that scarcely any force could quell them. Although they ran at the charges of the constabulary, they returned and did not stop until they had made almost a complete wreck of the windows of those who illuminated.
     The organization of the rioters seemed complete. In one of the rows the Mayor received some rough usage. At midnight the military was sent for and one company soon arrived, but their services were not required. After they had retired, however, a set of ruffians broke in the windows of the Crown-Solicitor.- Two arrests have been made. The city is now tranquil.

Children Welcome

New! Chalet La Bouclia, Le Cret, Val d'Isere.  La Bouclia is a beautifully appointed chalet for eight people situated in the ever-sunny Le Crêt neighbourhood of Val d’Isère. Sleeping eight people in four en-suite bedrooms La Bouclia is a spacious chalet with a high spec finish and a twist of style. Huge arched windows and imported tile floors create a balanced, calming feel to the living and dining space. Four relaxing en-suite bedrooms can be found on the lower floor with access to the Turkish Hammam downstairs. The chalet is well placed between the main ski areas benefiting those who like to vary their home descents. A spacious property, La Bouclia works well for two families or equally groups of friends and can be combined with it's neighbouring chalet Pierre de Compia for larger groups.

The chalet is beautifully appointed and is spread across three levels, with the four large en-suite bedrooms occupying the lower floors and the fantastic open plan living and dining space on the upper level. Ascending the stairs to the main living area reveals a double height bright and fresh space consisting of oversized traditional timber beams and white walls. The arching windows bathe the room in sunshine during the day and the tiled floor keeps a minimalist feel to the top floor. The living space focuses around an inviting open fire place with leather sofas and the dining area contains a large oak table with contrasting Eames dining chairs. There is large wall fitted television for watching movies and equally interesting is the presence of the professional chef in the open plan kitchen area. Descending to the ground floor, wooden floors soften underfoot and an intimate feel is not compromised by the substantial en-suite bedrooms. All four sleeping areas spring from a central landing and provide open plan sleeping and bathroom living. All rooms can be configured as either kings or twins and two of which benefit from large west facing balconies over the majestic Bellevarde mountain. The lowest floor contains a Moroccan style steam room which relaxes away the stress of the day before supper is served upstairs.

Bedroom 1: Bedroom with a king-size bed (can be made up as two single bed), private balcony and en-suite bathroom with bathtub, vanity and wc. 2 guests maximum

Spacious and airy, the Villa Sade is a wonderfully private retreat just a few steps from the beach at Smugglers Cove on the island of Tortola.

With two floors of shared and private living space, it is ideal for up to twelve guests. A large garden surrounds the entire property, and between the main house and a smaller guest cottage is the stunning pool terrace. Rounded in form and framed with open and covered spaces, it is sure to become your favorite gathering spot. Making your way into the main house, and up to the main level, you also find another area that is sure to draw everyone for hours of relaxing conversation, dining and fun.

Here, the classic Caribbean "great room" features walls of glass that take you to the breezy covered verandah looking straight out to the sea. Enjoy the breezes indoors as well when you dine at the formal dining table, snack at the breakfast bar, or lounge in the media room with its oversized sofas and entertainment system. A full-sized, gourmet kitchen is yours to enjoy as well, and with its views and modern equipment, it will be a joy to make snacks, drinks and meals at any time.

Four of the five bedrooms are in the main building. Two are on the main level, divided by the great room to ensure total privacy, and two more are on the uppermost level. Here there is also another lounge, a wet bar and an office. All of the bedrooms have balconies and large, luxurious en suite bathrooms.

Hasslevania 2 on Steam Greenlight

A topic by Del_Duio created Aug 04, 2016 Views: 290
Viewing posts 1 to 1

This is a game I started back in December of 2007, less than a month after the first game was released. I have been working on it off and on ever since over thousands of hours in my free time. And finally I can say that it's coming out in Summer of 2017. Ten years, holy crap that sucks! Haha..

If you don't know, H2 is a giant Metroidvania style game that's an homage but totally original game that spans across three planets and several side areas in space. You will quickly win a spaceship which acts like your hub area, and will collect various NPCs around the galaxy to live with you, similar to the Suikoden games. There are 12 big bosses, many weapons, different armor that shows on your guy, and power ups to get. The writing is pretty good IMO and there are many cutscenes to advance the crazy story along. Mini games are unlocked and take the form of arcade machines that look even more old school than H2 does.

Currently I'm trying to incorporate gamepad support as well as some other things that I didn't know how to do way back when. Regardless of if it gets greenlit, I'll also put it on upon release.

Thank you!

  • NetID
  • Email address
  • Email messages and attachments

What happens if an item is manually deleted?

Mailing lists deleted by their owners will be deleted immediately. Note that an owner who has lists with archives of 500 MB or larger will be asked to reduce their size via deletion or removing attachments.

Does anything ever get automatically deleted?
  • A list is automatically deleted if 1) it hasn’t been used in two years and 2) the owner has not responded to notifications to keep it active.
  • Class lists are retained for three quarters; at the beginning of each quarter, class lists from the same quarter in the prior year will be deleted.
  • Lists that are never used will be deleted when they are at least one year old and the owner has not responded to notifications to keep it active.
If a user is no longer authorized to use Mailman what happens to their profile data and items they’ve created?

Mailman does not store a user’s profile data, so it cannot be deleted.

Mailman lists created by a user will persist as long as it has at least one owner who is affiliated with the UW.

A user’s mailing list posts and responses will persist as long as a list is active and the owner has chosen to maintain it in an archive.
