FGM: Legal duty to inform police comes into force

Doctors, nurses, midwives and teachers are now legally required to report cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) to the police.

Failure to do so will result in disciplinary measures and could ultimately lead to them being barred from working.

The rules apply in England and Wales when girls under 18 say they have been cut or staff recognise the signs.

FGM has been illegal in the UK since 1985.

The practice, also known as female circumcision, refers to any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

In its most severe form, the genitals are cut and stitched closed until the victim is ready to have a baby and then sewn back up again. Proponents believe this keeps women and girls "hygienic, chaste and faithful".

Studies are under way to work out how many are affected - but the figure is thought to be around 137,000 in England and Wales.

The government is committed to ending the "abusive and illegal practice" within a -READ MORE-BBC LINK-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34681057

Brian Regal, monster 'historian

The truth is out there, but according to one local expert, it’s just not as crazy as some of the more conspiratorially minded folks may think. Brian Regal is a Ph.D. from Kean University in Union, New Jersey, and the author of “Searching for Sasquatch: Crackpots, Eggheads, and Cryptozoology.” His areas of interest include human evolution, monster studies, pseudoscience, obscuranta and more. In other words, he’s a perfect fit for a Halloween Eve interview. Last year, he spoke to Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking (PhACT) members about “cryptozoology,” which is the study of animals only rumored to exist. (Said PhACT’s Ray Haupt, “The audience reacted very well, as the discussion was light-hearted, dealing with pure myths that were devised with no factual basis.”) RELATED STORIES Philly artist designs U.S. mythical creature map Has the Jersey Devil been spotted?

TENDAGRAVE AN ARTICLE

What is TendaGrave Tendagrave is a free service for people who cannot for whatever reason tend a family or friend's grave. It will put you in touch with other people in a similar situation. You then offer to tend a grave in your local area and, in return, your loved one's grave will also be lovingly looked after. How does it work? It is so simple to use our site. The first step is to register where you will be asked where you are located and how often you are able to help others. You can then tell us about the grave you would like help with. Once you are matched with someone you can arrange for flowers to be delivered to them, or discuss with them the services you need. The idea is that no money changes hands Please click here to view our FAQ Latest News New Partnership with the VC Trust Ooh exciting – this is our first proper blog!

I came up with the idea for Tendagrave shortly after my wonderful grandma died. She's buried with my grandad in Suffolk but I live in Kent and the rest of my family are scattered around the country. I was quite lucky for a while as my best friend lived only a couple of miles from their grave and would pop over for me when I asked and put flowers on and tidy it up. Then she moved to Australia which meant there was no-one to help.

The summer after my friend emigrated, I drove up to the grave with a pot of lovely flowers which I hoped would add some colour for a few months before I could visit again. Knowing the pot would need watering, I put a note up in the church with my number asking if someone could contact me if they could look after the pot. No-one called. It was a very hot summer and within a couple of weeks the flowers had withered and died.

All I wanted was for someone to water the pot for me but it seemed impossible to find someone to do it. This was when I realised that I was probably not the only person in this situation. I could not find any organisation or service out there that could help so decided that maybe I should come up with one myself.

Now, a few years later, Tendagrave is up and running. It's something I feel very passionate about and hope that it brings some comfort to those people who have lost a loved one but aren't close enough to their final resting place to show that they still think about them often and still care. I know that we do think about them often and do care and through this site we can show just how much.

Watershed is it still valid

The watershed is what you can watch after 9.00 pm.In my youth  i would  watch programmes  like these  on my t.v upstairs  as i knew it would  contain  violence, sex or both and in playground  next day you would brag about this.N ow the lastest concern is programme s like soaps are pushing  this boundary but we live in an age that you can watch  anything  on your  computer  as long as you tick the right  box or pin number  you can watch anything. Yes i do think you have to be careful what younger  children  watch but it is hard as they are more technical able than our generation. So whts the answer will i dont know as i think we are to late to stop.

Mufon ufo an interview

What inspired you?  Since I was a young girl, I have always had an interest in the paranormal. My main interest would be Ufology. I read a book when I was in JR High about Project Blue Book and have just been interest ever since. I began reading and watching all that I could on the subject, finding many cases that intrigued me along the way. I began stargazing in my 20s, something that my family and I could enjoy together and became an amateur backyard astronomer. I have seen things that I couldn't explain, but nothing as significant as the stories that I've heard.  A couple years ago I started Facebooking different sites and really utilizing the internet and what it offers. I found that there were others, so many people that were out there that shared my interest. Credible people with stories of their own, searching for answers, and people that were investigating, researching, and collecting data in a scientific manner.  I joined MUFON and went to a conference in Memphis. I found that research was going on in all the different aspects of the paranormal, but that most places were dedicated to only one type of research. I thought if there was a way for people that were interested in different aspects of the paranormal field to meet and discuss different things, then maybe there could be a sharing of ideas. What are your aims? My goal is simple, but it seems to be complicated to achieve. I want people to discuss these things as openly as you would as if you were talking about how your day at work went with one another. I want there to be open discussion about the different paranormals instead of a bickering between the fields. Imagine the research that could possibly be correlated if there was open communications. Every field of study wants to be taken seriously, but then you have people that are in one field mocking the people in another, or you have people in the same field arguing among one another. I don't want people to agree, I just want people to agree to disagree and share their works. Maybe something can be learned from one another and the puzzles can be put together. What plans do you have for the future? These are plans that are not just my plans. The CTP Organization has several staff members. We are all interested in some type of paranormal field and we are trying to share information about what interest each of us. We are trying to promote our Facebook Group to as many people as possible so that we can build our membership to reach more people. We are trying to build open discussions by sharing information we find, asking questions, bringing in as many experts as possible to our page, finding actual research to share, and even creating book reading groups. One goal I would like to achieve (much, much later down the road) is a Paranormals Only Library, both digital and hard copy accessible. Somewhere for research to be shared. Most libraries have few books related to the paranormal and this would be someplace for people to seriously research their topics of interest. We've considered an internet radio show built around normal people sharing their stories for everyone to hear, people are searching for answers and maybe we could help place them with the people they need to speak to for that help. Lastly, our organization is planning a Symposium for people to come and hear different speakers from different fields of study. Hopefully, there will be something for everyone and a forum for discussions among the groups. We all have full time jobs so this keeps us very, very busy! I hope this is what you are looking for and I hope I didn't bore you too much! I really don't have an exciting story, just something that interest me.

GENRE PEAK -ABOUT MARTIN BIRKE

Martin is an electronic percussionist and composer of electronic/experimental and ambient music who started out as a gifted drummer at age 7 playing in talent shows, church bands and eventually his own bands. In his mid-twenties, Martin's instrumentals began appearing on several CD samplers from labels Ladd-Frith, The Music Independent, Priority, and AP. In the mid-90's Martin (with recording partner Aaron Kinney) was hired by The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre to score several pieces for the company and at the same time both his original and experimental bands Sandbox Trio and Casualty Park were signed to the Frank Mark Arts label in Germany. With that label he toured and recorded with both bands yielding several well received albums including many one-off and side projects with various artists. Sandbox Trio did many unique live shows and independent film scores and industrial TV commercials. The band utilized artfully handcrafted instruments combined with the latest in electronic and acoustic drums and has been Martin's favorite project through out his career. Sandbox Trio continued until the sudden tragic death of Chuck Ehlis in 2000 who was vital to the trio's sound creation and performance capabilities. Casualty Park was the duo of Aaron and Martin who created three albums, performed many live shows and together scored director Joe Carnahan's first feature film, "Blood Guts Bullets and Octane" in 1998. Casualty Park's electro-pop/rock music was also featured on the Oxygen Network with their video "West Texas" directed by Emmy Award winner Michael Maas. Martin and Aaron also scored original pieces for Complextions Dance Company directed by former Alvin Ailey choreographers Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson. The bands both received very good press reviews and even the praise of Martin's idol, former Depeche Mode music director, Alan Wilder. In 2005, Genre Peak was born as a trio including longtime bandmates Daniel Panasenko and Stephen Sullivan, with co-producer and recording engineer Christopher Scott Cooper. 

The trio embarked on many live performances around northern California and San Francisco featuring Martin on lead vocals and electronic percussion, Daniel on Chapman Stick and Stephen Sullivan on guitar-synths and backing vocals. Ends of the Earth was Genre Peak's first album in 2006, but fell short of Martin's expectations receiving mixed reviews. While GP was a tight professional trio doing excellent recordings and gigs they disbanded in late 2006.

In 2007-2008 Martin, not wanting to sing lead vocals anymore and being the songwriter and director of the project, realized that Genre Peak would work better as a total collaborative project using guest musicians and singers including former Japan bassist Mick Karn, Canadian singer Tara C. Taylor, violinist Benito Cortez and bassist Gustaf Fjelstrom. Along with Stephen Sullivan and producer/guitarist Christopher Scott Cooper, with wonderful remixes from UK band Stereoskop and French band Kiss & Fly, Genre Peak's second album Preternatural was a much more well received album garnishing good press reviews. A video for the album track Hell on the Surface was showcased at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival. READ MORE-http://www.genrepeak.net/GPabout.htm

Caffeinated plants give bees a buzz

A morning caffeine dose is something that so many of us find irresistible, and according to research, foraging bees seek a similar buzz.

Many plants produce caffeine, primarily as a naturally bitter deterrent against plant-devouring insects, like caterpillars.

But an experiment with caffeinated nectar has now shown bees are attracted to and even "drugged" by the compound.

The research is published in the journal Current Biology.

Prof Francis Ratnieks from the University of Sussex, a senior member of the research team explained that previous research had shown that caffeine boosted bees' memories of the location of a flower.

"So people [already] thought it would affect their perception of nectar," he told BBC News.

To find out if this was the case, the research team set up two artificial flowers for -READ MORE- BBC LINK-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-34532636

Ancestors 'had less sleep' than we do

Our ancestors may have got less sleep than we do, a study suggests.

US researchers studied the sleeping patterns of traditional societies in Africa and South America, whose lifestyles closely resemble ancient hunter gatherers.

They monitored 98 people for 1,165 nights, and found that they slept for an average of 6.5 hours per night.

By comparison, the scientists said that most people in the US get about seven hours, according to a large sleep poll.

The new study, published in the journal Current Biology, also finds that temperature played a greater role than light in shaping sleeping patterns.

Prof Jerome Siegel, from the University of California, Los Angeles, said: "The issue is: what is the data on how sleep has changed?

When the temperature hits bottom, they wake up

"And it occurred to me that these groups, which are rapidly disappearing, give the last opportunity to really know what human sleep was like before we all created our various civilisations.

Bideford witch trial

The Bideford witch trial resulted in hangings for witchcraft in England. Temperance Lloyd, Mary Trembles and Susannah Edwards were tried in 1682 in the town of Bideford in Devon. Much of the evidence against them was hearsay, although there was a confession by Lloyd, which she did not fully recant even with her execution imminent. They often get labelled as the 'last' witches to be hanged in England but there are several not so well documented cases after this.
It is sometimes said that Alice Molland was the last person to be hanged for witchcraft in England; the only evidence for this comes from a single book, Side-lights on the Stuarts by J Inderwick; although Molland was sentenced to hang, there is no evidence that the sentence was carried out.

Investigation of Temperance Lloyd

On Saturday, July 1682, Thomas Eastchurch, a Bideford shopkeeper, complained to some of the town’s constables that Temperance Lloyd had been practising witchcraft. The constables arrested Temperance Lloyd and locked her in the old chapel at the end of the bridge, where she remained until taken before the justices, Thomas Gist, Mayor of Bideford, and John Davie, Alderman, on the Monday morning.^[1] The charges were: "suspicion of having used some magical art, sorcery or witchcraft upon the body of Grace Thomas and to have had discourse or familiarity with the devil in the likeness or shape of a black man." Grace Thomas thought that Temperance Lloyd was responsible for her illness, because the previous September, Lloyd had wept with joy and expressed pleasure in seeing that Thomas had regained her health.READ MORE ON WIKI LINK-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bideford_witch_trial

The Lure of Terrible Lizards: Why We Love Godzilla

DALLAS — Godzilla, the fictional, Tokyo-destroying sea monster, is actually a dinosaur dreamed up by the film's producer, Tomoyuki Tanaka, who let his mind wander during a flight back to Japan across the Pacific Ocean.

The 1954 film was a hit. Now, 30 movies later, people still flock to see the radioactive giant in theaters — likely because Godzilla reminds them of their childhood love of dinosaurs, said William Tsutsui, a professor of history and president of Hendrix College in Arkansas, and author of "Godzilla On My Mind: 50 Years of the King of Monsters" (St. Martin's Griffin, 2004).

Tsutsui spoke about Godzilla's historical roots to a crowded room here at the 75rd annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference Tuesday (Oct. 13). [Rumor or Reality: The Creatures of Cryptozoology]--READ MORE-http://news.yahoo.com/lure-terrible-lizards-why-love-godzilla-115209537.html

Back pain

Introduction 

Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their life.
It may be triggered by bad posture while sitting or standing, bending awkwardly, or lifting incorrectly. It’s not generally caused by a serious condition. Find out more about the causes of back pain.
In most cases, back pain will improve in a few weeks or months, although some people experience long-term pain or pain that keeps coming back.

Types of back pain

Backache is most common in the lower back ('lumbago'), although it can be felt anywhere along your spine, from your neck down to your hips. Read information on neck pain and shoulder pain, which are covered separately.
Sometimes, back pain can be caused by an injury or disease, such as:

• a slipped disc – when one of the discs in the spine is damaged and presses on the nerves
• sciatica – irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which causes pain, numbness and tingling that travels down one leg
• whiplash – neck injury caused by a sudden impact
• frozen shoulder – inflammation around the shoulder that causes pain and stiffness
• ankylosing spondylitis – a long-term condition that causes pain and stiffness where the spine meets the pelvis

The rest of this information will focus on back pain that doesn’t have an obvious cause. Doctors call this “non-specific back pain”.READ MORE-http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/back-pain/Pages/Introduction.aspx

10 tips to beat insomnia

1. Keep regular hours

Going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time every day will programme your body to sleep better. Choose a time when you're most likely to feel sleepy.

2. Create a restful sleeping environment

Your bedroom should be kept for rest and sleep. Keep it as quiet and dark as possible. It should be neither too hot nor too cold. Temperature, lighting and noise should be controlled so that the bedroom environment helps you to fall (and stay) asleep.

3. Make sure that your bed is comfortable

It’s difficult to get restful sleep on a mattress that’s too soft or too hard, or a bed that's too small or old. If you have a pet that sleeps in the room with you, consider moving it somewhere else if it often makes noise in the night.

4. Exercise regularly

Moderate exercise on a regular basis, such as swimming or walking, can help relieve some of the tension built up over the day. Make sure that you don't do vigorous exercise too close to bedtime, however, as it may keep you awake.READ MORE-http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/insomnia/Pages/insomniatips.aspx

Strange animal hybrids you didn’t know existed

There are some weird and not-so-wonderful animal combinations out there. Some have come naturally, and others, well, as a result of human beings and our pursuit of biological genius.

10 Weird Animals We’re Using In Research

About 95% of animals used in research are mice, rats or fish, but scientific research hides quite a few surprises. Specifically, that the weirdest and most unusual animals are currently helping in ground-breaking scientific discoveries.
Did you know that naked mole rats can’t get cancer, that the honey of bees has anti-cancer properties, that jellyfish venom could cure cancer and that dolphins get sexually transmitted diseases? All these animals could one day be key to solving the complicated puzzle that is cancer just like the round little armadillo was pivotal in defeating leprosy worldwide.
Wait until you see what urchins and ferrets help us understand. From influenza to obesity and ageing, the study of certain diseases can be strongly influenced by different animal models and although we can’t swim like a squid or jump like a kangaroo, we can develop the same illnesses.
There is a whole lot that we can discover by studying dolphin sex, jellyfish fights, bees’ honey and many others. The studies of animals has helped eradicate smallpox, study STIs, understand AIDS, and discover a whole lot about how humans and the world we live in functionREAD MORE-.http://whatculture.com/science/10-weird-animals-were-using-in-research.php/2

Centrepoint

Sponsor a room at Centrepoint for just 40p a day and you'll help the homeless young people we work with to achieve independent, fulfilling lives.
Unlike some other homeless charities which concentrate on finding emergency shelter, we're committed to making a real and lasting difference to the lives of young people.
Becoming a room sponsor is quick, easy and incredibly rewarding. For just 40p a day you'll become an integral part of a homeless charity that's proven to help young people off the streets by:

• Providing a warm safe room that young people can learn to treat as a home
• Supporting young people with counselling, advice and direction to help them overcome abuse or traumas
• Training young people so they have the opportunity to find work or education
• Teaching homeless young people basic life skills they'll need in order to achieve independence

White Flower Field Art Project for NDADA

What is the White Flower Field Project?
The White Flower Field Project is an installation of 4000 hand crafted white flowers all made by local people and crafted from a wide range of weather proof materials which will be mounted in the town Square in Barnstaple, just outside the Barnstaple Museum in November 2015. It’s being designed and assembled by local artist and NDADA supporter Sarah Farrell-Roberts. The idea is to mimic the amazing field of poppies at the Tower of London last year, but using white flowers which symbolise peace.
Why we’re doing it
• To raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse in our community in the interests of promoting healthy relationships and
• To remember all those women and children who have suffered abuse in their own homes at the hands of those they love
• To remind us all that domestic abuse can happen to anyone regardless of colour, creed or status
• To help break the silence and end the shame
• To raise vital funds to keep our Refuge open- which is the only remaining refuge in the whole of Devon county
Why is it happening now?
This year is the 40th birthday of the North Devon Women’s Refuge run by North Devon Against Domestic Abuse. In the past 40 years the Refuge has opened its doors to countless women and children who have been forced to flee their home, often arriving with nothing, not even a toothbrush. In Refuge they receive care and support by a specialist domestic abuse team which starts them on the path to recovering their selfe steem, their sense of trust and to learn to bear the wounds and scars that violence and abuse they suffer at the hands of those they love can cause. They also get help with accumulating the basic possessions they need to start a new home, together with help finding suitable housing.
Last year all public funding for NDADA’s Refuge in North Devon was withdrawn. The need for refuge remains as great today as it was 40 years ago. In North Devon over 1200 inquiries to specialist domestic abuse services are made each year, and 4000 a year in the whole of Devon, and those are just the people who pick up the phone. The Refuge now relies on charitable donations to keep its doors open which means we need to garner public support for our cause.
Why November? To tie in with National Domestic Violence Awareness Week, and the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the November 23rd Petal Launch (which NDADA holds annually) - a moving ceremony to scatter petals in the Taw in memory of victims of domestic abuse.
Why 4000 flowers?
Because that is the number of inquiries received each year by specialist domestic abuse services in Devon, as well as being an estimate of the number of individuals the North Devon Refuge has helped over the last 40 years.PLEASE SUPORT THIS PROJECT AS  THIS SUBJECT IS VERY CLOSE TO MY WIFE -NO DETAILS AS TOO MUCH FEEDBACK FROM HER DAUGHERS-We're making 4000 handcrafted white flowers for an art installation in Barnstaple town Square this November to mark 40 years of the Refuge for women run by North Devon Against Domestic Abuse. This group is for everyone interested in following our progress or for those who have made or plan to make flowers for the project. Thanks to everyone who is helping make this possible!-https://www.facebook.com/groups/975059945879802/permalink/1053944134658049/

Gypsie Dawn a interview

what inspired me first was the fact that I KNEW that there were others in the room with me that I could not see. As a child i spent a great many niights scared of what I could feel and not see. As I grew older and became more spiritual, I learned to open myself up more to what was there, and learned its not as scarry as I had feared it to be. My goals are to help as many people as I can in connecting with those that have crossed over. those that are at a crossroads in their lives and need spiritual advice. I often joke and say I am going to be the next Sylvia Browne... but really... I just want to be the best me there is, and help as many people I can. Do the work of the Divine. my website is gypsiedawn.com
