The importance of visual aid

The importance of visual aid when getting your businesses message across.

It was Book’s birthday in the weekend so I ordered him a cake, a delicious cake. A beautiful cake. A personalised cake. A cake that was to say Happy Birthday Bab. I rang up and placed my order, yes order for Eve and I would like it to read Happy Birthday B-A-B.

I go to pick it up and it says… Happy Birthday Eve. Oh no. First of all, this is hilarious and the opposite of a problem – I knew full well that Book would love it and find it much more entertaining than a regular cake. Second of all, I realised that this would never happen with visual aid.

In the world of video we reinforce messages in so many ways that it is almost impossible for a mistake like this to be made. We open on a shot of Book, wearing a birthday hat and there is a streamer in the background that reads happy birthday – it is his birthday. There is a group of people around the table singing Happy Birthday to Book as I bring in a cake that reads (you guessed it) Happy Birthday Book. The voiceover states “It was a birthday much like any other for Book but with one small difference, he was about to eat the best cake he had ever tasted” The subtitles reflect the voiceover and there is NO DOUBT whose birthday it is in the viewers mind. It is Book’s birthday, the message has been delivered.

If you have a message about your business that you want to get across as clearly as possible, have a chat to us! We’d love to help out and see what we can do.

Unruly Adds Nielsen OCR To Social Video Ad Platform

Marketing tech company Unruly, which has a focus on social video, on Thursday announced that it has partnered with Nielsen to bring the Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings (OCR) to its ad platform. The ratings allow advertisers to target specific audiences via online video ads.

“With three-quarters of video views happening outside of YouTube, it’s more important than ever to reach audiences where they are watching and sharing videos,” stated Richard Kosinski, president of Unruly U.S. “And now with Unruly and Nielsen OCR, advertisers can be assured that their social video ads were not just viewed, but were also seen by their desired audience within Nielsen’s dataset.

“Advertisers continue to struggle to keep pace with the evolving landscape associated with programmatic exchanges. Nielsen OCR provides clients with a deeper understanding of where their ads are being watched,” he added.

Advertisers will be able to buy in-stream pre-roll video ads via Unruly against the Nielsen OCRs.

EndoBreak: Blood Glucose and Schizophrenia; New Top Doc at ADA

— News and commentary from the endocrinology world

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today and:

Higher levels of fasting blood glucose, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, were associated with schizophrenia among individuals, a recent study reported. "Given that some antipsychotic drugs may increase the risk of diabetes further, clinicians have a responsibility to select an appropriate antipsychotic at an appropriate dose," said the lead author, Toby Pillinger, MRCP, of King's College London, in a press release. (JAMA Psychiatry)

Authors of the TECOS trial, originally presented at the 2015 American Diabetes Association annual meeting, published a new analysis this week reporting no significant adverse cardiovascular outcomes, or improvements, from sitagliptin use among older patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. (Diabetes Care)

This week the American Diabetes Association announced William T. Cefalu, MD, as their new Chief Scientific & Medical Officer. He replaces Robert E. Ratner, MD, who held the position for nearly 5 years.

A recent study reported an association between the weedkiller Roundup and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats, due to environmental exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemical glyphosate. The herbicide is currently under review until the end of 2017 by the European Union to determine safety and regulation. (Scientific Reports, Sustainable Food Trust)

Since 1999, a recent study found that consumption of artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, has risen 200% among Americans. "The findings are important, especially for children, because some studies suggest a link between low-calorie sweeteners and obesity, diabetes, and other health issues," said the study's lead author, Allison Sylvetsky, PhD, of The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health in a press release. (Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics)

Progesterone was found to help increase the chance of having a successful pregnancy among women who experienced recurrent miscarriages, according to a study published this week. "We propose that luteal start vaginal micronized [progesterone] leads to improved endometrial gland development, which optimizes the local environment for early maintenance of pregnancy," the authors wrote. (Fertility and Sterility)

A U.K. study reported a prevailing link between socioeconomic status and obesity among adults and children. "Given our findings of progressively widening BMI inequalities across adulthood, and the fact that BMI tends to track across life, interventions may be most effective when initiated as early in life as possible," wrote the authors. (PLOS Med)

A 3-year, $2.5 million research grant was awarded to the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to develop "smart insulin" for treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes. (Newswise)

Two long-term studies examined outcomes from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in adolescents, showing pluses and minuses for those undergoing the procedure. (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)

Kids Just Wanna Have Fun

Wanna have fun, fun, fun
Wanna have fun?

Just wanna, just wanna,
Kids just wanna have fun
Oooh ohh kids just wanna have fun.

Above is my version of "Girls Wanna Have fun" by Cyndi Lauper song. That is the song that is playing in my mind while uploading these photos lol.

Hubby took these shots when they were waiting for me outside my FIL's home.

EJ was in the mood to play tricks in front of the camera.

So hubby played along.

Here comes the other one.

Okay ready, get set, go, jump!

Playing patintero lol.

Here is a parenting tip from for all the parents out there.

Kids clean up without complaint if you time them. Bring small dry-erase boards on road trips to keep creative minds occupied. De-escalate midnight accidents by putting several fitted sheets on the bed, separated by waterproof mattress protectors. Vacuum when an infant is inconsolable (you get a breather, and he’ll probably like the sound)!

From Blue Runs to the Apres-Ski

Skiing is an exciting prospect for most when you are starting out. After a beginners lesson, you'll likely head down a 'blue run' which is a gentle slope to start you off, the thought of a spending time in the bar after your day on the snow, keeping you going.

We have included a blog post today from the great Matthew Dieumegard-Thornton who is a mountain climber with a passion for all things outdoors and gives you the low down on Scotlands Ski Resorts and his favourite runs. Over to you Matthew...

Originally posted on 19/02/2019. Full blog available over at https://www.matthewdthornton.com/blog/skiing-in-scotland/

"When considering skiing, you most likely think of Chamonix, powder, St Anton, après ski, Whistler, and unaffordable/post-holiday credit card sadness. But what about Glen Coe, Cairngorm, or Scotland’s very own trois vallees: Glenshee? Ptarmigan anyone?

Scotland is clearly not the place one traditionally thinks of when contemplating a skiing holiday, however with bumper snow years in recent memory and the explosion of downhill skiing’s sister sport, ski touring, Scottish skiing offers something for everyone and is well worth consideration.

What’s so special about skiing in Scotland?

Well firstly, it’s the ease of access. Driving easily to all 5 major ski resorts is a big advantage over continental resorts, which means you can leave planning until the last possible moment to fully assess the snow conditions before venturing north. Secondly, the variety of skiing in Scotland is almost unparalleled. Sure, the summits might only be 1,000m compared to 3,000m+ in the Alps, but…

Lastly, there’s something special about skiing in Scotland that you can’t quite put your finger on.

It might be the fact you’re skiing at home, where everyone speaks a language you can just about recognise; it might be the novelty of skiing in sunshine, a whiteout and horizontal rain in a single bullet hard ice run.

Whatever the attraction is, let’s take a look at where you should head this winter to get the best of Scotland.

The Lecht

Infamous! The single best day of snow I’ve ever had has been on the Lecht. I’ve skied most European resorts, the north face of Mont Blanc and Vallée Blanche, yet the Lecht, with its new snowmaking facilities and unique position as the most northerly and most easterly of Scotland’s ‘resorts’, is often worth looking at, even if it’s only a stop off on the way to Cairngorm.

Downsides are the small size of the ski area with a £32-day pass, and the frequent road closures at the snow gates in bad weather. If you’ve only ever skied at overseas resorts, The Lecht will be a shock to the system!

Cairngorm mountain is a great place to learn to ski with fairly reliable snow, plenty of hire skis and a dedicated ski school to get you quickly snowploughing. Skiing has been a regular feature at Cairngorm since the 1960’s, and consequently is very developed in comparison to the Lecht, but also suffers from being exceptionally busy. The resort garners many mixed views, with conservationists disappointed at the resorts construction of a monorail which runs up the centre of the resort.

The advantage of the monorail is that you can still ski in high winds when other resorts must close their Poma tows, however at £37 per day for an adult ski pass, this luxury isn’t the most affordable option. A final big selling point is the proximity to Aviemore, which is the closest you get to an alpine resort in Scotland. The best run on the mountain is the Corie Cas head wall from the summit of Cairngorm; if you’re a confident skier, this is a good intro to off piste.

Sitting as the oldest ski resort in the UK, the Glencoe Mountain has some fantastic heritage and a vista even some European ski resorts would envy.

There are cheap midweek day passes standing at £25, whilst weekend prices are £32. This is relatively good value for the 20 runs which have a good spread for all abilities. Whilst the resort misses out on the scale of Glenshee, there is still plenty to go at with the potential for touring, and the ability to quickly change plans and tackle Curved Ridge on Buachaille Etive Mor. Glencoe is relatively remote without the accommodation offerings that Aviemore offers, but thanks to its proximity to Glasgow, Glenshee is a fantastic option for heavy snow days.

Nevis Range

At £35 for a day pass, Nevis Range is the second most expensive resort in Scotland, but for good reason. This resort, based on the mountain next to Ben Nevis, caters for beginners, piste crusers and expert skiers alike. The main part of the resort has 25 runs and a good number of lifts including a gondola to speed skiers up the mountain. There is a great ski school, good ski hire and several other activities such as sledging to keep the whole family happy.

The main draw of Nevis Range for many however is the easy access to off piste terrain. Runs such as the Summit Gully from the top of Aonach Mor allow good skiers the chance to explore the back side of the mountain, whilst off-piste runs within the patrolled area such as Chancer in the Back Corries allow piste skiers to push their comfort zone a little further thanks to the Braveheart Chairlift. Aside from the expected queues on blue bird days, there’s not much to criticise with Nevis Range.

If the snow is good, this is one of the best skiing areas in Scotland, with the bustling metropolis of Fort William conveniently close for accommodation and supplies, but not too close to spoil the view.

Posing as the three valleys of Scotland, Glenshee is a phenomenal ski resort, often attracting 2,000 people on a blue bird Saturday. Despite the high number of skiers that flock to the mountain, the vast terrain that can be covered means that skiers tend to spread out and it’s generally possible to find a clear run on all but the busiest days.

Glenshee is good value at £32 for an adult pass, and with 22 lifts and 36 runs, is the largest ski area in the UK. There is a ski school for beginners, a hire facility and a couple of mountain restaurants. For those looking for a little more adventure in both their skiing and their skis, Braemar Mountain Sports offers the best selection of hire skis in Scotland, including the latest touring and ski mountaineering equipment.

As for the best run on the mountain, I can only narrow down my favourite two: first is the 1.2-mile Glas Maol red run which is often a good way to get away from the crowds. For expert skiers, the face of Carn Aosda straight down to the A93 offers fantastically steep and occasional technical skiing.

Bonus Resort

But there are only five Scottish resorts I hear you say! Whilst technically true, Scotland in recent years has become an absolute hub of ski touring. If you head to the top of Glas Maol on a blue-sky day in Glenshee, you’re almost guaranteed to see a line of tourers heading over to Cairn of Claise and beyond into the deep eastern Cairngorms. And so, the sixth resort is Scotland back country as a whole.

You’d need a whole book to write about this, but here are my top Scottish highland runs for those looking to explore Scotland by ski this winter.

Glenshee to Cairn of Claise

Descent via Carn an Tuirc, back to Glenshee sinning up the roadside: A classic ski tour with very gentle gradients and the option to get a ski lift at the start of the day to cut an hour off the ascent. A perfect tour for beginners.

Easter Balmoral to Lochnagar

Descent via Cac Carn Beag’s north face: A long tour, but with good snow, Lochnagar offers a perfect descent which more than makes up for the long slog up.

Cairngorm summit to Ben Macdui and return

Optional descent via Stob Coire an t-Sneachda: Another classic, you’ll find many tourers at the top of Ben Macdui on a fine day. On the return journey, there’s the option of a gully shot down Aladdin’s Couloir, a 20-degree slope before heading down to the car park.

The Mamores

Finally, in bumper years, the Mamores offer fantastic skiing. For experienced skiers, skin up to the Mamores ridge, assess the avalanche risk and conditions, then charge down the best-looking face; with the north side of Am Bodach being particularly appealing.

A final footnote: whilst Scotland doesn’t suffer from crevasses or seracs like some of the higher glaciated European resorts, there is still danger. Any skiable slope poses an avalanche risk when it’s loaded with snow and Scotland is sadly no different in this regard. If you go out skiing on off-pisted terrain, always be aware of the avalanche risk and know what to do should the worst happen.

And finally, no matter where you’re skiing on the mountain, please always wear a helmet."

Get Well Soon by Jennifer Wright

Full title:  Get Well Soon; History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them

This fascinating account of various plagues through history features plenty of heroes to counter the darkness. Jennifer Wright has a conversational style with plenty of clever humor that somehow doesn’t make light of the real suffering and death caused by these diseases. I found it very entertaining and educational, and more of a page-turner than the novel I was reading concurrently.

Okay, so it does get a little preachy in places, but I agree with the lessons we can learn from history.

Some of the stuff the author wrote about is so scary, especially about the American morale laws in WWI that pretty much threw away any semblance of free speech, punished journalists with 20 years of jail time for telling the truth, and inadvertently exacerbated the Spanish influenza. It made me wonder about the truth of it and other details in the book, despite the good footnotes. My preliminary search of the internet has yielded surprisingly little detail of the terrifying ramifications of the Espionage and Sedition acts of 1917 and 1918 or their connection with the spread of the Spanish influenza by means of blatant, criminal denial. Considering that the internet is full of passionate details about the terrifying ramifications of things like vaccines and celebrities’ divorces and leaving onions in your fridge overnight, this internet silence is extremely disturbing. If this book’s allegations are true, then these laws and the subsequent behavior of the people, the press, and the justice department are just as scary as the bubonic plague or the Spanish influenza itself.

Anyway, a very, very interesting book. Now I need to read Jennifer Wright’s other book, “It Ended Badly,” about famous historical break-ups. She brings history to life and delivers it in small chunks that anyone would have time for.

Highly recommended (though perhaps not for hypochondriacs or the squeamish).

Clinical and Functional Characterization of Melanocortin 4 Receptor genetic variants in African American and/or Hispanic children with severe early onset obesity.

BioRxiv : the Preprint Server for Biology
Maria C De RosaVidhu V Thaker

Context: Mutations in melanocortin receptor (MC4R) are the most frequent cause of monogenic obesity in children of European ancestry, but little is known about their prevalence in children from minority populations in the United States. Objective: This study aims to identify the prevalence of MC4R mutations in children with severe early onset obesity of African-American and/or Latina ancestry. Design and Setting: Individuals were recruited from the weight management clinics at two hospitals and from the institutional biobank at a third hospital. Sequencing of the MC4R gene was performed by whole exome and/or Sanger sequencing. Functional testing was performed to establish the surface expression of the receptor and cAMP response to its cognate ligand alpha - melanocyte stimulating hormone. Participants: Three hundred and twelve children (1-18 years, 50% girls) with body mass index (BMI) > 120% of 95th percentile of CDC 2000 growth charts at an age < 6 years, with no known pathological cause of obesity were enrolled. Results: Eight rare MC4R mutations (2.6%) were identified in this study (R7S, F202L (n=2), M215I, G252D, V253I, I269N, F284I), three of which have not been previously reported (M215I, G252D, F284I).

Our restaurant is focused on sharing flavorful traditional Mexican dishes. WE are known for our mole and exotic meats we offer such as chapulines (crickets). If you are a Mexican Food lover you will thanks us later! We hope you give us a try and have the best Mexican food experience in the area. See you soon. -Owner & Staff

Established in 2017.
The business was called Mexico City because it was the owners favorite place to visit during her childhood. Also, where her parents met before coming to the United States  back in 1980. The owners mission is to share her family flavors and traditional Mexican dishes passed down from generations to the Buffalo Area.

Meet the Business Owner

Elder M.
Business Owner
With years of experience in the restuarant industry in New York City and a Bachelor's in Business, Elder decided to take a leap and make one of her many dreams to open a mexican restaurant come true. Elder has always been a foodie and is thrilled to share her family's background culture with the Buffalo Area.

What does Mexico City mean?

 Teotihuacán (pronunciation) [teotiwa'kan]know as "birthplace of the gods", or "place where gods were born", is ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico, located in the State of Mexico 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of modern-day Mexico City, known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. (SOURCE : wilkepedia.com)

With its strong flavours and tempting aromas, the delicious food of the City of Mexico identifies its own. Its spicy, suggestive and weighty dishes are born from an unusual gastronomy crossbreeding that intertwines pre-Hispanic, Spanish and French roots.

The bean, the corn and the chilli are the holy trinity of the Aztec culinary offering and they get more than one prayer or praise out of the loyal devotees who congregate at restaurants and fondas to worship the delicious tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas, amongst other dishes.

The menu does not end here. Along this tasty "way of the cross", the epicure must bare in mind that it is not recommendable to disdain or despise the weighty tamales, a dough stuffed with meat, fruit or cheese, wrapped with corn husks leafs and cooked in steam; or the mole, an splendid stew of meat prepared with a sauce based on chilli, sesame, almonds, raisins, bitter chocolate and other ingredients.

But the most popular delightfulness of the Aztec gastronomy is the whims, sublime appetizers which due to the strength of their taste have reached beyond the country's borders.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson is no Churchill. He is Chamberlain

In handling the coronavirus crisis, Johnson acted like the pre-war prime minister; both misread their enemy and fell down on the job
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (AFP)

For the last year or two British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has gone to considerable lengths to suggest that he is heir to Winston Churchill, Britain’s greatest prime minister.

He has taken to adopting Churchill’s slow, stooped walk. He wrote a book about Churchill which, critics said, was intended to invite comparisons with the great wartime leader. More recently Johnson’s allies have appropriated Churchill’s catchphrase in adversity: Keep Buggering On (KBO).

Some students of history have found this pathetic. With reason.

The Churchill myth

At the heart of Churchill’s colossal story was the moment in May 1940 when he replaced Neville Chamberlain, who served from May 1937 to May 1940, as prime minister.

The Churchill myth may have helped Boris Johnson win the last election

France fell to Nazi Germany a few weeks later. Hitler had conquered Europe and Britain stood alone.

Churchill was the symbol of national resistance and the free world. Johnson has nothing even faintly comparable on his record. He and Churchill were both at one stage journalists, but that is as far as the similarity between the two men goes.

The Churchill myth may have helped Johnson win the last election as the only man who could "get Brexit done". Then along came a real crisis. A crisis involving the deaths of thousands and requiring decisive action.

A crisis which many – including the Queen, who lived through the conflict - has compared to World War Two. A crisis which nobody has anticipated: coronavirus.

The warning signs

Johnson was caught napping. His government has made a series of bad decisions and unforced errors.

This weekend's Sunday Times investigation painted in excruciating detail a picture of a complacent prime minister who failed to notice the warning signs, took the wrong advice, followed the wrong strategy and failed to see the looming threat long after others had raised the alarm.

Johnson failed to notice the warning signs, took the wrong advice, followed the wrong strategy and failed to see the looming threat

The direct opposite of Churchill in fact.

For Chamberlain facing the threat of Nazi Germany, read Johnson dealing with coronavirus. Both misread their enemy. Both fell down on the job.

The details in the Sunday Times article are devastating. Johnson did not bother to attend the first five meetings of the Civil Contingencies Committee (COBRA).

On Sunday, loyal colleagues played down the importance of this, saying it was normal for the prime minister to be absent. They said that others stood in for him and his absence made no difference.

Piffle. Cobra always meets in national emergencies: hence the need for the prime minister to be present. It goes without saying that he or she can’t always be there. But Johnson didn’t attend any of the first five meetings. Not one.

When Johnson finally attended on 3 March, the die had been cast.

A life and death period

The Sunday Times quoted an adviser to Johnson: "There’s no way you’re at war if your PM isn’t there. What you learn about Boris was he didn't chair any meetings. He liked his country breaks. He didn't work weekends. It was like working for an old-fashioned chief executive in a local authority 20 years ago. There was a real sense that he didn’t do urgent crisis planning.”

David Hearst: Coronavirus: How Britain forgot Brexit and found its NHS heroes
Read More »

This commentary fits in with the known facts. For much of the crucial month of February, as the most deadly virus to strike Britain in a century started to enter the country, Johnson was not paying attention.

He was planning for Brexit. He allowed his advisers to unleash a pointless and destructive war against the civil service. He took a long break with his pregnant fiancee Carrie Symonds at his grace and favour country retreat of Chevening.

Whatever else he was doing during this life and death period, he was emphatically not taking the lead in the fight against coronavirus. Meanwhile the messages went out from Downing Street that Britain was "well prepared for any new diseases".

Johnson’s failure to take charge wouldn’t matter too much if someone else had gripped the situation and his government had handled the crisis capably and efficiently. But it didn’t.

We can now see that other countries – many others - reacted quicker and more adroitly.

The German example

Let’s take Germany. At the end of January it was as badly prepared as Britain. Thereafter, it was quick to ramp up tests and trace the contacts of those infected.

Johnson stands accused – with the Tory Party as a whole – of systematic neglect of the NHS over a long period of time

Not so Johnson’s government. Confirmed deaths from the virus in Germany are under 5,000. In Britain over 16,000. Britain has suffered more than three times as many deaths as Germany. Deaths per head in Germany stand at just over 50 per million; in Britain more than 200 per million have died.

It's important to note that some other countries have done even worse. In Spain, for example, more than 400 per million have died. Italy and France also have higher rates of mortality than Britain.

But Boris Johnson’s government was slow to recognise the need for supplies in personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers, often for what look like ideological – ie anti-EU - reasons.

The Guardian reported last Monday, for example, that the government had missed three chances to join the EU scheme to bulk-buy PPE. Britain has also failed to obtain enough testing equipment. Even the government’s Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance suggested to ITV that testing had "not scaled as fast as it needs to scale".

Professor Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust and a pandemics expert on the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), has said that Britain may now be on course to suffer more deaths than anywhere else in Europe.

Undermining the NHS

This brings me to a second point. Johnson did not only make short-term mistakes as the crisis struck. He stands accused – to be fair along with the Tory Party as a whole – of systematic neglect of the NHS over a long period of time which rendered us unprepared.

Johnson and Health Secretary Matt Hancock were among Tory MPs who voted against removing a pay rise cap for nurses in 2017. Johnson’s Vote Leave team repeatedly lied about the NHS during the Brexit referendum, repeatedly promising an extra £350m ($437m) per week would go to the NHS if Britain left the European Union.

At the heart of last year’s general election campaign was the claim that the Tories would be building 40 new hospitals. In reality, the government had only committed the money to upgrade six hospitals by 2025.

And Johnson’s Vote Leave campaign has waged a long political campaign against the low-paid foreign workers who play such a huge role in caring for the elderly and unwell. The campaign against foreign migrants worked powerfully during the referendum.

But it looks unpleasant and divisive today, and has drawn attention to a fundamental problem that has bedevilled the Johnson government since the start: it’s not fundamentally interested in governing. What it really understands is campaigning.

Spin over substance

To be fair, the idea of the so-called "permanent campaign" is not new. It was invented by former US President Bill Clinton, and imported to Britain by former Prime Minister Tony Blair. But Johnson’s Downing Street has taken it to new levels.

The truth is that the Johnson government has so far only been good at spin, less good at the substance

The truth is that the Johnson government has so far only been good at spin. These skills in media manipulation have been powerfully utilised to re-craft the prime minister’s public image. Good at spin. Less good at the substance. It ought to be the other way around. Especially during a pandemic.

Last night Downing Street crafted a response to the Sunday Times investigation. It contained some strong points. None was stronger than the government's  dismissal of the loaded Sunday Times assertion that at the early stage it dispatched "279,000 items of its depleted stockpile of protective equipment to China during this period in response to a request for help from the authorities there."

The government response that “we provided this equipment to China at the height of their need and China has since reciprocated our donation many times over" is powerful and true.

Depart, in the name of god

Nevertheless, today Johnson is in trouble. Massive questions surround his competence to deal with the greatest health emergency for a century. In May 1940, after the early months of the war had gone terribly wrong, the Conservative Party moved ruthlessly to force out Chamberlain, the sitting prime minister.

Boris Johnson may win the election. The rest of us will lose
Read More »

Backbencher Leo Amery told Chamberlain on the floor of the Commons: "Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God go."

The Tory mood has not yet turned sour on Johnson. Nor is there an obvious successor waiting in the wings as there was in 1940. Partly, it should be stated, because Johnson purged all opposition.

But confidence in his government is falling. Questions are being asked which even the ruthless Downing Street spin machine can’t answer.

This is important because the prime minister ultimately needs more than just Tory support. As Britain comes out of the lockdown, very hard life and death decisions will need to be made about the return to work in the year ahead. That means Johnson needs public trust.

His most difficult period lies ahead.

Malaysia flight MH 17 investigations

Today marks a significant development in bringing to justice those responsible for the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine nearly five years ago.

With 38 Australian citizens and permanent residents among the 298 killed, this was one of the worst ever crimes perpetrated against Australians.

As one of the founding members of the Joint Investigating Team, the Australian Federal Police deployed over 500 officers in support of this operation to work alongside investigators from other nations whose nationals were also lost in this criminal action.

It is one of the most protracted and complex investigations the AFP has ever undertaken.

I would like to commend these investigators, forensics officers and other specialists who have worked to identify victims, repatriate remains and pursue the evidence to prosecute those responsible over a long period of years in Europe and Eastern Europe.

They worked in difficult and confronting circumstances alongside colleagues from the Department of Defence and Department of Foreign Affairs. They did so in the most professional and thorough manner and their work is an integral part leading to today’s announcement that four individuals face criminal charges for their alleged roles in this terrible crime.

The AFP will continue to work with their counterparts from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine and Malaysia as part of the Joint Investigation Team which is determined to pursue all possible suspects.

Our commitment to bring the perpetrators to justice remains firm.

This week’s drop-in: Character Mash

Brought to you by Lloydie.
This Thursday we are going to focus on the impact a fun character makes to a scene. By “fun character” I don’t mean accents, a silly walk or a raised voice – I’m talking about the stuff that comes from the inside. Whilst a fun accent might let us know the character is French, Welsh or Cornish, an accent isn’t a character. We are going to dig deep into how our characters behave and then see what happens when we put them with someone in a scene – and hey, if they happen to be Cornish, that’s cool too.

Netflix and FilmDistrict Announce First Run Streaming Agreement

Now here’s an interesting announcement. When it seems all the studios are keeping Netflix at arm’s length, this FilmDistrict studio is bringing them right in, actually bypassing traditional methods and going with Netflix after theater releases for streaming. Not the greatest movies I’ve heard of, but it’s a start.

Under the deal, major motion pictures that traditionally would have been licensed to premium cable channels will flow instead from FilmDistrict to Netflix for streaming to its members, beginning in 2011.

Among the first films to be covered under the deal are “Drive,” director Nicolas Winding Refn’s adaptation of the James Sallis’ crime tale starring the Academy Award®-nominated duo Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, and the sci-fi action adventure film “Lockout,” starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace, produced and co-written by Luc Besson, and co-directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger.

Emerson Network Power has introduced firmware updates to its Avocent® Universal Management Gateway (UMG) appliance that further harden the industry’s preeminent secure UMG platform. The enhanced Avocent UMG is available globally.

Already the only management system on the market that can manage data center infrastructure through service processor, serial and KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) connections, the enhanced Avocent UMG further refines root-level access controls, reducing the risk of malicious intrusion. The latest firmware release provides updated support for a long list of service processors — including recent additions Oracle iLOM3, Dell iDrac8 and Dell Series C — and service processor firmware. These enhancements, and the Avocent UMG’s ability to isolate the management network from the rest of the environment, provide an added layer of security that bolsters overall data center security in multi-vendor environments.

Other recent enhancements to the Avocent UMG are designed to bolster the system’s ability to provide alerts of failures and potential failures in multi-vendor environments. Data center managers can configure and opt-in to alerts tailored to the most relevant platform event traps (PETs) — including everything from the failure of the CPU, hard drive or server processor, to an OS blue screen — across multiple vendors and systems.

“Managing IT security is a complex task that grows in complexity with the introduction of new technologies,” said Jay Wirts, general manager, Avocent Core Products, Emerson Network Power. “With today’s firmware enhancements to the Avocent UMG appliance, we have taken another significant step toward enabling not just a more secure network, but a more flexible, productive data center.”

The Avocent UMG is the industry’s only consolidated management appliance enabling secure, centralized remote management of almost any device in any location. The enhanced Avocent UMG functions in a heterogeneous environment, identifying and accessing servers and service processors whether connected physically to the appliance or through the network. That access eliminates the need for inputting multiple IP credentials, logins and passwords, streamlining network operations and machine-to-machine communication.

Users can save Avocent UMG configuration files from Web UI — an HTML-based application used to configure and manage appliances remotely — eliminating the need to go through setup every time the Avocent UMG configuration has been changed. Other recent enhancements to the Avocent UMG enable users to record up to 40 simultaneous KVM sessions and patch three recent security vulnerabilities (POODLE, GHOST, JetLeak).

Write-up - Holly Knowles

A site bounded by other dwellings necessitated a villa concept with privacy in mind. Modernist forms interpret the sense of protection given by a castle; monumental from the outside, but opening up into internal courtyards and light-filled living spaces.

Inside, the feel is light, luxurious and contemporary, utilising materials such as polished and raw concrete, perforated steel, white walls and warm osb Wood.

Bold architectural details merge with interior design and windows strategically placed for privacy afford a sleek light box feel, playing with planes, sharp lines and shadows. In contrast, a welcoming living area, integrated fireplace and generously proportioned ensuite bathrooms provide all the comforts of a home.

So, pretty much I don’t ever, ever, ever want to hear a single, solitary person who voted for Donald Trump tell me that their diarrhea-faced tyrant in chief respects anything about the Constitution. Well, he probably loves the Electoral College for obvious reasons, but outside that, it’s obvious that he, and his Department of Justice under the direction of Racist Relic Jeff Sessions, really don’t respect a fucking thing about it. In their infinite wisdom, the Trump DOJ has requested the IP addresses of over 1.3 million people who logged onto, a website dedicated to resisting, you guessed, President Piss Party.

Forbes reported that the Department of Justice has demanded the internet addresses of the people who used, because they say they could contain information on people who rioted on Inauguration Day.

It published a search warrant Monday signed July 12th, in which a District of Colombia court said DreamHost had to hand over records from covering “the individuals who participated, planned, organized, or incited the January 20 riot,” Trump’s inauguration day. (source)

Um, first of all? What fucking riot took place on January 20th? I’d love to ask the Racist Hooded Cookie Elf, or the orange twat waffle where, exactly, they saw people full-scale rioting on January 20th. I saw massive demonstrations against them. And maybe there was some isolated property damage here and there, but a riot? Please, back the fuck up with that nonsense. Secondly, excuse the living piss out of me? The government is now trying to compel a private company to hand over private information on political dissenters, and Republicans are the ones supporting that idea, not broadly condemning it?

What fucking world do we live in now? The Fourth Amendment is rolling over in its grave. If you thought the Patriot Act was bad — and it’s certainly horrific — then you have to be livid about this horse shit. Are they really trying to get us to believe that over 1.3 million people conspired to riot on that day? Is the argument here really that they want to bring people to justice for rioting or looting? We haven’t even established that there was a riot, but we’re supposed to be okay with the government cyber stalking people based on a website they frequent?

Unless the website in question is run by people openly advocating the overthrow of our government, this move smacks of authoritarian oppression. Even if they don’t succeed in getting the IP addresses, they could have just put a chill on resistance websites. After all, people will probably be less likely to visit if they know they’re going to end up being on a list and questioned by the Trumpstapo, right? Right.

This is no different than if someone had taken a building they paid rent on and turned it into a “Fuck Donald Trump” club. They could put up a big sign that said, “Fuck Donald Trump,” and all kinds of posters with pictures of Trump on it that say, “Fuck this guy.” And they could meet at this club to discuss ways to lawfully and peacefully resist Trump’s agenda. And basically what the Department of Justice is arguing now, is that they have a right to know who is a member of the “Fuck Donald Trump” club.

They don’t have a right to know that. The government has no compelling reason — other than to stifle dissent — to know who’s in the Fuck Donald Trump Club. They similarly do not enjoy a right to the IP addresses of people visiting the online equivalent of the Fuck Donald Trump Club. It strikes me as particularly ironic and sad that the “stop tyrannical government overreach” crowd, the Republicans, are the ones backing this nonsense.

First they wanted our voter roll information. Then they wanted our IP addresses. What’s next? Who knows. But somewhere Richard Nixon is beating off furiously over all this fascistic, authoritarian bullshit.

I decided, in the end though, to just comply. I want to give the Trump administration my IP address willingly…voluntarily. I mean, I have nothing to hide, so what do I care?

Why would I care that the same people who argue we can’t have a registry of people who own deadly firearms now wants to know my IP address? Why should I have any concerns about a presidential administration who can’t even be truthful about the size of their inauguration crowds has a way to track my online habits? I mean, who gives a fuck, after all, about the Bill of Right’s protections against our government treating us as if our human rights don’t matter?

So you know what? Here goes! Here’s my IP address, Trump administration. Have at.

Contemporary Portuguese Home By Paula Santos

gal-based architect Paula Santos has created a stunning minimalist home. The property can be found in Ovar, Portugal.

According to the architect: The contemporary Portuguese property is an exercise where we were  stretched to the limit a number of ideas and concepts of other projects, which had never been put in place. It is also – and above all – a project, which allows for thinking with other people about their own way of inhabiting a dwelling.

“The large-scale project, covering 680m2, to be located on not very stable sandy soil  allowed us to ponder the house as an object which develops in a continuum. The need to design the main area of the contemporary Portuguese house as a ground floor meant that the difference between spaces was implemented by means of variable heights in geometric forms: in respect of their importance and meaning, the most expressive areas such as the swimming pool and the painter’s studio or the body of the entrance from the street acquire more expressive and more elevated forms.

“The idea for the object in concrete, a traditionally sculptable material, appears implicit in this concept, designing the elevations with level and sloping surfaces up to the coverage. The length of the corridor is used to distribute the desired functions and large areas, further creating clipping plan, which allow for a relation with landscape, with the various wooded areas to be constructed suggesting outdoor leisure.”

Contemporary BSH Office, The Netherlands

Posted on: September 6th, 2012 by ModShop

USA-based design studio William McDonough + Partners have teamed up with Amsterdam-based designers D/DOCK to redesign a new office space for Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte (B/S/H). The ultra-modern office space can be found in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands.

According to the architects: “The choice was made for a new building in Park 20l20, a new Cradle to Cradle-inspired office park in Hoofddorp. Its openness made it possible to create the desired inviting and open environment. Also its high level of sustainability fitted perfectly with the vision of B/S/H/ on that issue (the company gives this high priority). William McDonough + Partners designed this flexible, innovative workplace, including many sustainable features, such as a full-height, four-story atrium with an indoor/outdoor Living Green Wall and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) roof that maximises energy and day lighting of the contemporary Dutch building.

“D/DOCK developed a tailor-made interior for the ultimate experience of the B/S/H/ brand and as a unique work environment. The result is a welcoming place that radiates a sense of calm, open for everyone, everywhere and at any time. Optimal lighting, tactile materials, soft colors and flexible design elements throughout maximise the experience and well-being of the people and emphasise the open structure and the vision of B/S/H/ as a company. Every time the perfect balance was sought between combining the five brands on one hand, and keeping their own brand identity on the other: give clarity to the total, with attention for the individual.

“The result is a very flexible facility, easy to adapt to any brand or function. A good example of this is the cooking school. In a very short time the appliances of one brand can be changed to that of another, so all brands can use the space at any time. The same goes for the auditorium, and even the bar and restaurant, where personnel, visitors and retailers are welcome to sit and relax or have (informal) meetings.

“The central core (the atrium), on the first two floors, houses the Experience Centre – named ‘Inspiratiehuis 20l20’. Here each of the brands has their own publicly accessible showroom, where they make their products come alive.

“D/DOCK worked in close cooperation with B/S/H/ to design the contemporary Netherlands office spaces on the two top floors, according to the innovative ‘new way of working’ principle. The space is composed of zones, alternative workplaces and a flexible use of furniture, and each floor features a ‘hub’. This is a central space where all the community functions are clustered, as well as the management.

“A big part of the interior, including all refurbishments like the Shaw carpet, is supplied under the Fornature terms. These terms guarantee that all interior products will return to the supplier after the end of use, to stimulate reuse and to ensure a second-life for all interior elements. By choosing Fornature, B/S/H participates in creating a cyclical system of material reuse and recycling and ultimately means less raw material use and an enormous waste reduction.”

Contemporary Australian Kitchen Design

Posted on: August 20th, 2012 by ModShop

Brisbane-based interior design studio, Interiors by Darren James, has completed a contemporary kitchen design for a German family living in Australia.

According to the designers: “When the German owners of this contemporary Australian property engaged Interiors by Darren James to design and build their dream kitchen they wanted premium quality in every detail: design, materials, workmanship and finish. This project clearly demonstrates what is possible when you combine good design, the latest technical mechanisms, quality materials and handcraft production techniques – a project that exceeds every expectation.

“Whilst the clients requested an ultramodern design they still wanted it to suit their Australian lifestyle. Central to the brief was the need to satisfy an enthusiastic and demanding gourmand by creating a kitchen that ‘feels like home’ yet still packs a punch visually and supports the entertaining of family and friends. The result is a free flowing functional kitchen design that makes the best possible use of the available space in this long and narrow room.

The existing space
“The original kitchen was small, cramped and non-functional. To pave the way for a larger space highly sought after by the clients, the diving wall that separated the previous kitchen and an unused sitting room was bought down – a concept the clients hadn’t considered until now. The resulting space was a larger room, approximately 7.5 x 3.2m.

Wall Oven feature & room divider
“A strategically placed wall oven feature surrounded by LED strip lighting is suspended 300mm off the floor and 300mm off the ceiling creating a unique floating look and provides access either side to the cleverly hidden scullery. Metal supports and bracing was incorporated into the construction of the wall and thicker timber framing was also used to ensure structural integrity.

“A selected range of stainless steel Miele appliances included in the feature wall further enhance the cutting edge look whilst providing all the functional requirements of the clients’ healthy cooking style. The black glass finish on the feature door and drawer fronts complement the ‘piano finish’ of the surrounding ‘Ebony Maccassar’natural veneer. In keeping with the desired minimalist look, all the black glass fronts are handless and open electronically using Blums ‘Servo drive’ mechanisms. Thanks to this technology with the simple press of the button the wall oven feature easily transforms from a stunning furniture piece to a fully functional storage space.

Functional cooking and cleaning zones
“A number of work zones within the kitchen ensure the space operates efficiently at all times. The cooking zone includes an induction cooktop for efficient cooking whilst the Neff rangehood is cleverly concealed in the piano finish ‘Ebony Maccassar’ natural veneer which is highlighted by LED strip lighting. To enhance the overall look the veneer work on the rangehood feature box is grain matched and mitred to create a superior and seamless finish. The sink area consists of a large single bowl ‘professional series’ Oliveri sink and a water efficient KWC Inox vege spray mixer ensures even bulky baking items and trays are easy to clean. A three bin system is placed at the bottom of the sink cupboard on a servo drive mechanism allowing the client to easily open without the need of any hands.

Practical Island Bench that packs a punch
“The visually stunning island bench serves dual function purposes. Staron ‘ solid surface was selected for its contemporary appearance as well as for its durability and has been raised 20mm to define a casual seating and dining area.

“The client has a passion for baking, making her own pastry, pasta and breads. Like many a pastry chef she prefers working on natural stone. Therefore a 20mm piece of ‘Calacutta’ marble was selected and inlayed into the 100mm Staron ‘Metero’ benchtop. The gorgeous showpiece slab gives the impression of elegance, adds visual character and complements the other natural elements perfectly.

“Storage has been well considered in this contemporary kitchen design with a scullery providing ample space for groceries as well as specific areas that have been custom designed to house items such as recipe books, small appliances and cutting boards. Every storage item has been thoughtfully located in terms of function and frequency of use. Storage space has been optimized with the use of easy access drawers using Blum’s slow motion drawers. Again the kitchen has been fitted out with the full range of Blum organisational accessories including plate racks, spice racks, knife racks as well as ‘orgaline’ for cutlery and utensil.

Luxurious quality finishes
“One of the main requests of the owners was to include luxurious quality finishes to create maximum visual impact. A combination of different textures and finishes were incorporated to ensure high esthetic qualities as well as top performance. This was created by creatively combining an array of high end materials and textures: The piano finish ‘Ebony Macassar’ natural veneer, black painted glass, automotive high gloss grey lacquer, stainless steel, Calacutta Oro marble and Staron Tempest all combine to create a sophisticated and visually stunning contemporary Australian kitchen interior design.

“The incorporation of the mirror splash back not only adds to the sense of space but ensures nothing is taken away the sophisticated simplicity that this kitchen already boasts.

Light it up
“LED stip lighting is thoughtfully placed for both ambient, feature and practical purposes. It particularly highlights the stunning design of cabinetry features seen throughout this kitchen. Natural lighting is maximised with the inclusion of a sliding door in the scullery that conveniently opens out to the alfresco area. LED Downlights have been thoughtfully placed throughout the kitchen to illuminate task areas and work surfaces.”
