At the last minute, late Wednesday night, the Knesset Economics Committee prevented a crime. The committee rejected Infrastructure Minister Avigdor Lieberman's plan to dry up the public gardens in the cities, and thus allowed 97 percent of the population to continue enjoying a little bit of greenery, a little bit of quality of life.
Lieberman, like all the ministers before him, decided to go with the powerful and the influential. It may be less just and a lot less efficient, but in politics, power talks. Lieberman also managed to overcome all the facts, all the data, all the State Comptroller's Reports - and to punish the city dwellers, of all people, who pay an inflated price for every cubic meter of water they consume and also use less water than in comparable cities around the world.
Lieberman managed to ignore the main reason for the water crisis: the absolute control that the farmers have over this valuable natural resource.
Since the establishment of the state, the cats are allowed to guard the cream, and the agricultural lobby in the Knesset - agriculture ministers, water commissioners, and Mekorot officials (all affiliated with the agricultural sector) - exploits the situation.
The lobby sets the price of water for both households and farmers, all the while making sure to raise the price for households and reduce it for farmers. The result now is is that the households pay an inflated price for water, much higher than its cost of production.
It costs NIS 1.1 to produce a cubic meter of water, which is sold to the cities for NIS 1.5 and for which residents pay an average NIS 4.5 per cubic meter. Farmers pay the much lower, subsidized price of NIS 0.8 per cubic meters. Justice - Israeli style.
But the real problem is not the low price, because since the establishment of the state the farmers' lobby has managed to increase its water allocations throughout the country. Even though all the agriculture ministers and water commissioners of recent years knew that a crisis was coming, they increased the allocations to the farmers year after year. The government encouraged the farmers to plant deciduous groves in the Galilee, knowing that they are thirsty crops. It initiated growing oranges in the Negev - setting a new record for inefficiency - and encouraged growing avocado and sweet corn, also particularly thirsty crops.
And it was all done on the overdraft; in other words, at the cost of over-pumping from the underground reservoirs and Lake Kinneret, until those are now close to a real danger of salinization.
A special report issued by the State Comptroller about the issue said "the low price paid by the farmers for using water is to a large extent the cause of the serious water crisis." But no minister in government cared that Israel continued to export water to Europe in the form of oranges and avocados.
A true fool's paradise. The low cost of water for the farmers caused another serious phenomenon: It's not worth their while to use treated sewage water, which costs NIS 0.7, almost the same as the subsidized fresh water.
Thus, hundreds of millions of cubic meters of treated water flows to the sea instead of to the fields. The solution for the problem is not drying up gardens, which use only 1.5 percent of the overall water consumption in the country.
The solution is to be found in the reason for the problem, in the agricultural sector, which uses 50 percent of the country's available fresh water. If they were to only introduce a little logic, there would be enormous savings, and logic means raising the price of water for farmers, making it the same as for households - no more and no less. The second part of the solution is elimination of all the political water allocations.
If that were to be done it would become apparent to all, including Avigdor Lieberman, that the water crisis is artificial, that the existing water is suddenly enough for everyone. As soon as the subsidies disappear, the enormous waste will disappear and as soon as there aren't water allocations, agriculture will become more efficient and more sophisticated, and most of all, more appropriate for a desert climate than for Norway.

Part of Angus Heritage Week 2013 was the Tayroots Family History Day on Friday 13 September at the Brechin Mechanics' Institute. In the Mechanics Hall on the first floor of the Institute, there was a book fair at which Tay Valley FHS was represented.
Our table was beside the one representing Dundee University's Archive, Records Management and Museum Services and its Centre for Archive and Information Studies.
Here we can see stall holders from Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre (below) and Angus Archives (right) waiting for visitors to arrive. Their stands were next to each other.
Later, the fair became quite busy.
There are a number of pictures on the walls of the impressive Mechanics Hall, mainly portraits of distinguished 18th and 19th century gentlemen.
The stall of ANESFHS (above) was overlooked by a picture by the 19th century artist John Phillip depicting Robert the Bruce receiving the sacrament from the Abbot of Inchaffre on the eve of Bannockburn.
The portrait on the far wall is of John Don, painted by the Forfarshire artist, James Irvine. Don was a founder of the Forfar textile firm, William and John Don & Co, established in 1845.

“Discovery” is thrown around a lot as an end in itself for new entertainment and commerce platforms. But at Pinterest, which has been described as a search engine for people who don’t know what they’re looking for, it’s a true core-value proposition.
Finding an inspiring new thing on Pinterest should, says Pinterest’s head of product Tim Kendall, inspire “curiosity that haunts users to keep exploring the surface,” and be “compelled to actually take action on that interest. If you see a hotel on the coast that you never even heard of, you’re compelled to maybe book a weekend there in a couple weeks. If you see a recipe, maybe you’re compelled to go to the store to buy those ingredients and then go home and cook that recipe that night.”
This principle, says Kendall, is the starting point for any new feature introduced to the platform, and is what all product teams are charged with improving when coming up with concrete enhancements. For example, a key feature launched this year is guided search, which lets users start with a broad idea (say, chicken) and telescope down to something specific (say, cheesy chicken enchiladas) by offering easily navigable guides in different categories related to the original term.
Kendall says that to successfully turn an abstract concept like discovery into technically sophisticated, user-friendly functionalities, he employs a specific interdisciplinary approach to product development, with three key elements.
When a new feature concept goes into development at Pinterest, it doesn’t get assigned to an existing group, but to a carefully selected team of two or three people maximum, usually an engineer and a designer, and if it’s a particularly nebulous user-facing problem, a user researcher.
“We mix and match those teams very aggressively,” says Kendall. “We think when we get the magic combo of the right two or three people, we just see an order of magnitude difference in terms of what they’re able to come up with and how fast it happens.”
The small size is important because the team is better able to focus on what might start as a very broad problem, such as “search is too complex,” that needs to be brought down to a very concrete technical feature. “They feel like a mini startup,” says Kendall. “When people feel empowered, they come up with great things.”
After the teams are formed, says Kendall, Pinterest encourages them to get out of the confines of the office. “When we built guided search, for instance, in February, the designer and the two engineers went off to the designer’s house and camped in their basement and just iterated on the product for several days,” Kendall said. “We also have a team that just recently started working on some messaging products and on their own they flew to Portland, rented an Airbnb for five days, and came back Friday night with an end-to-end completed prototype.”
When you go to the same office every day, says Kendall, “it’s very hard to clear your brain from all the legacy projects and legacy relationships that you have, especially from being somewhere for several years. If you go someplace totally different, that environment will embody the very project that you’re working on and that creates a level of focus that gives us results and really great, great stuff.”
“One of our primary core values is something we called knitting, which captures this idea of different disciplines coming together and ‘knitting,’ creating something more powerful than they can create on their own,” says Kendall.
“We often have an interaction designer paired up with a core engineer. What often happens at companies I’ve been at previously is they’ll have a designer take a problem, go off and come up with mock-up. It’s really important on day one that the designers don’t go off in a corner and start drawing pictures, but that instead the designer gets in a room with the core engineers and they start to understand what is possible, from each of their disciplines, that can create a feature that really is the embodiment of their disciplines.
On guided search, for example, the team started planning the interface and then started looking at the potential technology to power that feature. “In fact, to enable the interface that we arrived at, we actually invented a derivative technology to power it. I don’t think we would have broken through with that kind of innovation if we hadn’t put those teams together and had them knitting from day one.”

Note: As a sort of post mortem to the Oscars, I will be covering all 10 of the Best Picture nominees and their trailers. And when I’m done, we can finally all STFU about the Oscars.
The hardest part of making a boxing film is staying out of the stereotype role. With Rocky and Raging Bull peppering the genre, you have to try everything to differiantiate yourself from all the rest. The first trailer for The Fighter does not do this. But the second trailer suceeds much more at this. It’s fast, frantic, and you don’t always understand exactly what is happening. Like sex with Charlie Sheen (that’s topical, right)? It’s not a great trailer, but it does a much better job at making me want to see the film than the first trailer. Check it out.
Have a trailer you want to see featured here? Email me at TheCritic28@gmail.com with the header “Trailer of the Day” and I’ll (eventually) squeeze it in.

Lucas Jennis Engraved Frontpiece of Musæum Hermeticum Reformatum et Amplificatum 1678 – Seven Hermetic Principles – Unisex T-shirt
$24.00 – $30.00
Musaeum Hermeticum (“Hermetic library”) is a compendium of alchemical texts first published in German, in Frankfurt, 1625 by Lucas Jennis. Additional material was added for the 1678 Latin edition, which in turn was reprinted in 1749. Its purpose was apparently to supply in a compact form a representative collection of relatively brief and less ancient alchemical writings; it could be regarded as a supplement to those large storehouses of Hermetic learning such as the Theatrum Chemicum, or Jean-Jacques Manget’s Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa. It seemed to represent a distinctive school in Alchemy, less committed to the past and less obscure than the works of older and more traditional alchemical masters. The full Latin title is: “Musæum Hermeticum, omnes sopho-spagyricæ artis discipulos fidelissime erudiens, quo pacto summa illa veraque Medicina, qua res omne, qualemcumque defectum patientes, instaurari possunt (quæ alias Benedictus Lapis Sapientum appellatur) inveniri ac haberi queat inveniri ac haberi queat. Continens tractatus chymicos novem præatantissimos, quorum nomina et seriem versa pagella indicabit. In gratiam filiorum doctrinæ, quibus Germanicum Idioma ignotum, in Latinum conversum ac juris publici factum.” The first edition contained: The Remonstrances of Nature ascribed to Jean de Meung The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine Subtle Allegory (Michael Maier) Three Treatise of Philalethes The Book of Alze Open Entrance to the Closed Palace – Philalethes A Tract of Great Price The Only True Way The Testament of Cremer The Glory of the World The Waterstone of the Wise The Golden Tract concerning the Philosopher’s Stone

The presentation will detail the proposed N8 (Night) mission – Global Environmental Effects of Artificial Nighttime Lighting. It was originally proposed as Earth Explorer 11 to ESA (European Space Agency).
At any moment, one half of the Earth’s surface is experiencing daytime and one half nighttime. Most Earth surface observation missions focus on the first half. The remote sensing N8 mission would focus on the half that is experiencing nighttime and on the quantification of the global environmental effects of artificial nighttime.
The natural light regime of a substantial, and growing, proportion of Earth’s surface is being eroded as a consequence of the direct illumination and sky brightening that result from the introduction of artificial light sources at night. These sources are associated with human settlements and activities, including public, private business and residential areas, and associated land, water, and air transport infrastructure. By enabling activities that are largely or entirely independent of natural light, artificial lighting of the nighttime has brought enormous benefits to humankind, and has shaped societies in dramatic ways. However, it is predicted to have significant impacts on human health and well-being and the natural environment, given that natural biological systems are organized foremost by light, and particularly by daily and seasonal cycles of light and dark, and that there have been no natural analogues, at any timescale, to the extent, nature, distribution, or timing of spread of artificial lighting.
A large body of observational and experimental studies - most of it arising in just the last few years - has illustrated that these adverse effects on human health and the natural environment occur, and has begun to characterize their sensitivity to the form of the lighting. However, to date, it has not been possible to map and evaluate the associated biological risks and opportunities in the way that has been achieved for other anthropogenic pressures on the environment, that enables the impacts of artificial light to be incorporated into local, national, and international strategies and policies for addressing these pressures. This is because the globally consistent characterization of the spectral-spatial-temporal dynamics of artificial nighttime lighting has been inadequate, and has had to rely entirely on remote sensing systems that were not explicitly designed to measure lighting in the most appropriate ways.
The N8 mission would resolve this challenge. Its core objective is to enable the creation and update of a validated model of spectral-spatial-temporal variation in nighttime artificial lighting and thence of the human health and environmental effects that it causes. This requires characterization of how much artificial outdoor light or radiation is emitted (intensity), in what form (spectral wavelength λ, source light type), where (spatial directions d,α, light distribution), and when (time t, light use). The acquisition of this information requires global, frequent, high-resolution, multi-spectral, multi-angular optical remote sensing nighttime low-light (NTL) data at multiple local times providing a unique view of the activities of humans on Earth’s surface.
The dynamics of outdoor nighttime artificial lighting and the global dynamic maps of its influences on a wide range of parameters will be used to answer key research questions on human health and environmental effects. Different forms, occurrences, and timings of light emissions result in different influences. Key parameters will be deliverables of relevance to scientific researchers in diverse disciplines. For human health (e.g. sleep quality, obesity, breast and prostate cancer risk) the α-optic radiances in the five human photoreceptor bands and the photopic and scotopic bands are of importance. The melatonin suppression index and circadian stimulus index are measures for one of the key drivers of biological rhythms in a wide array of organisms, whose disruption can have major health and disease implications, and its production is highly responsive to light spectrum, intensity, and timing. For animals (e.g. physiology, behavior, life histories from reproduction to mortality, abundance, and distribution, ecosystem function) the radiances in photometric bands of ecological interest by taxonomic group of focal interest (e.g. moths, sea turtles, birds, bats) are of importance to the resultant influences of artificial nighttime lighting. This is also true for plants, with light receptors being key to determining the timing of many activities (e.g. germination, growth, flowering), with the additional potential to affect levels of photosynthesis (as measured by the induced photosynthesis index). In order to enable appropriate changes in policies to reduce impacts of artificial nighttime lighting on the global environment, it is important also to determine the nature of the sources from which it has been produced. This includes the lighting technology, shielding and temporal usage. Estimations are feasible of associated levels of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, enabling fuller evaluation of costs and benefits of patterns of usage of artificial nighttime lighting and of interactions with other environmental changes (e.g. atmospheric pollution). Most Earth observing missions monitor the effects of climate change. Here, the causes are addressed and this will support strategies to combat climate change. Scientific methods with which to analyze remote sensing data for the different applications mentioned are now feasible and extendable by applying artificial intelligence and data fusion techniques beside multivariate statistics. Extending beyond the immediate focus, data on artificial nighttime lighting and its short- and long-term variation have been found to be valuable in understanding patterns of human density, urbanization, economy size and the occurrence of disasters and conflicts.
Despite their inadequacies (e.g. in spectral sensitivity, geometry of acquisition, daily timing) for determining the impacts on human health and well-being and the natural environment, the data on artificial nighttime lighting that have previously been collected from satellite platforms provide valuable historical information on how this lighting has varied spatially and changed through time. The data especially from the Day-Night Band (DNB) of the VIIRS instruments (operated since 2011), will be cross-calibrated with that from this mission enhancing its value.
The N8 mission would acquire all populated land surfaces at night to achieve the objectives. These areas will be observed at least once every 90 days, at least for 12 almost equally distributed local times (to consider short-term changes in nights in the same season), and for at least 3 years (to consider long-term changes between nights of different seasons). This will be achieved in the repeat orbit of 214 orbits in 15 days with a drift of 480 sec/day (12 hours/90 days sufficient by considering ascending and descending orbits) by one satellite with a swath of 284 km (Field-of-View of 20.5°). Acquisitions will be performed in 144+2/3 orbits close to nadir viewing (to consider vertical light emissions) and in twice 35+2/3 orbits close below limb viewing (to consider horizontal light emission) from two directions close to orthogonal to each other (limiting occlusion in both close below limb views, e.g. consider straight streets with high buildings). In the visible and near infrared (VIS/NIR) one panchromatic band at ≤ 10 m (to detect single street lamps having a common distance of ≥ 25 m) and seven multi-spectral broad and narrow bands (specific to nighttime artificial light sources, to consider the lighting characteristics) at ≤ 20 m will be achieved at nadir view and in the longwave infrared (LWIR) two spectral bands at ≤ 100 m (to consider temperatures and atmosphere). The three multi-angular acquisitions of an area is one of the major differences to all proposed NTL so far, besides the acquisitions at multiple local times. Because of low-light conditions, e.g. for PAN a radiometric range 5×10-8 (detection limit) to 8×10-4 (saturation) Wm-2sr-1nm-1 is required, time delayed integration (TDI) detectors will be applied resulting with state-of-the-art optics in a Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 10 at reference radiance 5×10-7 Wm-2sr-1nm-1. This requires a highly stable platform with precise yaw steering. Finally, view and access to the products at various processing levels will be provided through the official Copernicus digital platform services to fulfil user demands for modelling and mapping. To obtain required Bottom-of-Atmosphere observations based on Top-of-Atmosphere measurements this implies an accurate consideration of the nocturnal atmosphere which is a supported research topic on its own. The sustained and quality-controlled observations of the proposed N8 mission would revolutionize understanding of artificial nighttime lighting and its human and environmental impacts.
The review of the proposal by ESA highlights the important novel aspects. They represent long-standing observational gaps and address some urgent scientific and societal questions of the Living Planet Challenges. Adaptions of the originally proposed N8 mission will focus on more specific research questions allowing to pare down the N8 mission.


Dear Zindagi teaser: After the release of the second song from the movie, Dear Zindagi, titled – Go to Hell Dil, the fans got to know that the seemingly bubbly movie is a lot more than just another movie on the profound ideas on life. Alia was seen dealing with relationship problems or what seems to be more of post-break-up sadness in the song.
Dear Zindagi teaser – All about Relationship Woes
And in this teaser, Alia discusses all the relatable relationship problems that most of us can definitely relate to. She says that it becomes a big issue when your friends do not approve of your new bf/gf, so then do you break-up with them? And also it is a big question – Where do you find your perfect match? Where do you meet him/her? What do you wear on your first meet?
Relate to it? Watch the teaser to know Alia’s take on relationships now a days.
The movie is a Indian drama comedy directed by Gauri Shinde and co-produced by Karan Johar. The movie stars Aditya Roy Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Shahrukh Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Ali Zafar and Angad Bedi. It is slated for release on November 25 this year and the fans are excited to watch on big screen!

Although it’s not a progressive game, it offers cheap stakes and stacked icons that pay out. This makes it a great choice for those who want to get in on the action quickly and have fun.
The game’s 9-line layout is the main reason it’s a popular choice for many online slots. It offers a great variety of bonuses, including a 20,000x jackpot.

My favourite McDonalds ice cream sundae flavour was always caramel. Caramel sauce is delicious! I’ve had a recipe for it in my book for years.
I recently saw an idea for hollowing out apples and filling them with ice cream in a Martha Stewart magazine article. They were served at a fairly typically Martha Stewart pumpkin carving party for children. Looked like a house in the Hamptons to me! I’ve never seen such colour co-ordination among children and leaves.
The apple sundaes looked so pretty and I thought this would be a delicious new use for caramel sauce. To make the sauce a bit thinner, a bit glossier and a bit more interesting, I added some brandy. Topped with chopped nuts …. amazing. And you can eat the bowl.
I think it looks like quite an impressive Sunday night pudding, but actually there’s almost nothing to it. You just make up the sauce and assemble the dessert. And the sauce can be refrigerated (and I’m 99% sure it can be frozen, tests are currently underway) so you can even do that in advance.
|Apple Ice Creams with Brandy Caramel|
- 25g butter
- ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup golden syrup
- ¼ cup cold water
- pinch salt
- 1x tin (400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 2 Tbsp brandy
- apples (use nice round red ones that ‘stand up’ nicely)
- ice cream
- chopped nuts
- Place the butter in a saucepan and melt it gently. Add the brown sugar, golden syrup, water and salt. Heat gently at first and stir constantly as the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, still stirring, until the mixture really bubbles like mad. Reduce the heat, and add the condensed milk, vanilla and brandy. Stir until it’s nicely combined and a good caramel colour, then take it off the heat.
- Cut the top bit off the apple, and scoop out all the inside flesh. I used a melon baller which was handy, I’m sure a teaspoon would do the trick. If you want to do this more than 5 minutes before serving, squeeze lemon juice over the apple to stop it browning. Fill the apple with a scoop or two of ice cream, and drizzle with the warm caramel (if the caramel has thickened while you got the apples ready, just gently heat it again, or add one more dash of brandy). Top with chopped nuts and serve.

Columbus, Ohio is a great place to live. Columbus is often a test market for new food and drink items and also happens to have a wonderfully diverse selection of restaurants that accommodate the gluten-free diner.
Bareburger restaurants offer mouth-watering organic burgers and sandwiches, fresh salads, delicious shakes and sharable snacks in environmentally sustainable, eco-friendly locations. Our belief is that organic food tastes better and is better for you, and that sourcing our ingredients locally benefits our communities. Our menu features a variety of meats, including traditional beef, chicken, turkey and lamb; exotic options such as elk, bison, ostrich and boar; and mushroom, veggie and black bean burgers for our vegetarian and vegan guests. Bareburger also offers a number of savory and sweet salads, organic beer and wine, and kid-friendly cubby meals for the littlest diners.
Does Bareburger offer gluten-free options?
Yes! All of our meats and poultry (except our panko and buttermilk chicken) are gluten-free, as are our salads, sauces, and French fries. We carry a gluten-free tapioca rice bun for our burgers, or they can be prepared in a gluten-free lettuce wrap. We also offer a number of ciders for customers looking for a gluten-free adult beverage with their meal, and a number of our desserts – including our flourless chocolate cake – are gluten-free, as well.
Here is a picture of that flourless chocolate cake with amarena cherry compote:
Sounds good, huh? After checking out the menu, I can’t wait for Bareburger to open later this year! Some menu items that I need to add to my “must try” list include:
- Bison burger, though I am curious about the elk, wild boar and ostrich
- Poached pear salad
- Pickled beet and goat cheese salad
- Numerous shakes, including a Hot Honey Milkshake
- Flourless chocolate cake
Just like any restaurant that isn’t 100% gluten-free, there is a risk of cross-contamination. The best way to minimize the risk of cross-contamination is to communicate with the restaurant staff, including the manager and chef, when you arrive.
The new Columbus Bareburger will be one of the first locations outside of New York. Have you eaten gluten-free at Bareburger? Please share your experience with us if you have!


CSR, a manufacturer which has previously sold its wireless components to Apple, Dell, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic, RIM, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TomTom and Toshiba, announced that it has created the core of an MP3 player that can transmit MP3s over the Bluetooth A2DP wireless audio connection to car stereos and wireless headphones using parts that cost under $10 per unit.
The company was able to create the core so cheaply by using a single integrated chip that contains the Bluetooth radio, Digital Signal Processor (DSP), RISC processor, and compression-decompression algorithm (codec), which uses 16-bit stereo MP3 and has a clean 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio. "Some current MP3 player architectures would require up to six or sevenmajor devices to implement the same wireless player capability," according to CSR.
The chip includes a text-to-speech feature that can allowmanufacturers to drop the screen entirely and further cut costs,
although an OLED display is supported too.
You can't buy a single BlueCore unit for yourself at this point, but expect one or more manufacturers to release a compact, dirt-cheap Bluetooth MP3 player next year using CSR's BlueCore.

Ancient candles at modern tables –
brand new couples, shy, un-
Late enough to pray for luck.
Late enough to think it’s love.
(Late enough for truth and trust. Late enough for truth and touch.)
Gentle light, eyes glimpsing eyes. Gentle light won’t criticise.
as “Here’s to laughter, here’s to dance.”
Here’s to cheers and here’s to chance.
Here’s to phone light – being forgotten.
Here’s to the moon – cream lace, cream cotton.
Here’s to home, to soften… gentler light, eyes meeting eyes.
Gentle light, bless this life.
It’s just not safe to crave this glow. It’s just not safe – I should know.
Yet intimate risks
a whispered promise. Intimate is skin,
(Late enough to praise close up. Late enough to think it’s love.)
Late enough to let light leave.
Late enough to hear her breathe.
As if light was all the other senses, darkness lush with recompenses –
taste and touch and blush-warm scent.
As if this world were somehow meant.
Late enough for truth and trust.
Late enough to know it’s love.

The lockdown has surely been a tough time for one and all and everyone has been doing their bit to stay as positive and productive. Jacqueline Fernandez apart from her films, is also known for her positive approach towards life. The actress shares how she is managing work, staying fit, and productive during the lockdown.
In an interview with a leading magazine, Jacqueline shared, “Right now I’m actually quarantined in a farm and was lucky enough to get here right before the lockdown was announced. It’s been good two months but there’s a lot of nature here, there is a lot of good fresh air, animals.”
Talking about her daily activities, Jacqueline added, “So I’ve been horse riding every day, in the morning and in the evening, that’s what I really enjoy doing. I’ve been working out, I’ve been putting a lot of time into yoga and meditation. I’m trying to catch up on reading, it’s something that I find myself procrastinating on. I’m trying to do as many courses as I can. So I’m doing a Hindi course and I’m also doing an editing course which is just helping me make my vlogs and understand the entire process because we’re in quite a situation where I don’t have my team with me so there’s a lot of things I need to do on my own and I’m catching up on my work.”
Talking about how Jacqueline is managing work during the lockdown, the actress stated, “Lucky for us we have zoom now so we can do our conferences and not have to physically be around and in offices to actually get our meetings done. I’m riding and I actually somehow find myself quite busy, it’s great I’m trying to be as productive as possible try to stay sane and that’s possibly the only way for me to do that.”

As seen with the rise of Bitcoin Revolution reviews in the web, this robot has reportedly become incredibly popular. Bitcoin Revolution claims to help ordinary people enter the crypto market through crypto automated trading. The robot claims to be able to earn thousands per day for traders, with their latest technology software.
But is it too good to be true? Is Bitcoin Revolution legit or is it a scam? In this Bitcoin Revolution review, we will take a look.
What is Bitcoin Revolution?
Bitcoin Revolution is a fairly new software. Just one year after being launched on the market, it quickly gained the allegedly reputation of being the fastest, most reputable and accurate robot for trading Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. We must remember something: robots came to simplify life and reduce time is in transactions. While a human can take up to two whole days analysing the signals, trading robots can do it in a matter of hours, minutes, or even seconds, with a higher claimed success rate.
Although there is no precise information on who the founder or creator of Bitcoin Revolution is, it is said that it was developed by a group of brokers who know very well the market for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading, and with that knowledge they decided to create, users claim that it’s one of the best trading Robot with an all time winning algorithm.
Is Bitcoin Revolution a scam or not?
There has been claims on Bitcoin Revolution being a scam, and a lot of videos on Youtube about it. The fact is, however, that there is a lot of volatility when trading with a complex asset suchlike Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. To give you an example, Bitcoin has the power to gain over 20% market share in as little as 1h. The results depends on which signals are being emitted from the market so that Bitcoin Revolution can perform the trades. Remember, high volatility provides higher risks but also higher rewards.
We discovered there is reportedly 92% chance of success in the operations we have reviewed out on this platform, which is of course a very interesting number.
In addition to that claimed 92% success, there is another detail that must also be taken into account, and that is that despite this, there are significant risks when trading, but they can be reduced if the proper care is taken.
Is Bitcoin Revolution a secure software?
In our experience, Bitcoin Revolution is serious and trustworthy. All participating brokers are real people whose job it is to secure the investors’ deposits and ensure a smooth process of deposits and withdrawals. Your other important task is to ensure good encryption and to protect the data from misuse.
Creating an account on Bitcoin Revolution
Step 1: Registration
The first step is easy and simple. It’s about filling out a form in which you must provide your full name and then enter a password to protect your account, and finally your email and your phone number. After you register, which is quite easy and simple, you will be connected with a broker and you will be able to move on to the next step.
This step is optional, but we recommend it as one of the first strategies to avoid the risks of losses. What is it about? It is a demonstration mode, which is a way to experiment with the platform and perform trades with fictitious money within the platform, but in a very similar way to what the real operations will be once you have deposited money in your account. We recommend to try it to learn the different operations that you can execute on the platform, so that once you have familiarised yourself with everything, you can start trading for real.
This step might be the most important one because this is where you are going to tell the robot exactly how you want it to do the things for you. Remember this: the great advantage of trading robots is they can do all the work for you.
In this step you can access the control panel where you can basically set up all the details about how you expect the robot to operate.
Then, you will also have access to the history of operations to see both successful and failed operations. You can also “open trades” to check them in real time, as well as being able to switch the live account to the demo account, or vice versa, depending on what you want to do at any time.
Once you have set up your account and you have everything ready to start trading, it’s time to deposit real money to start using your live account and start trading trough Bitcoin trading with Bitcoin Revolution. Remember, Bitcoin Revolution is free but you require some funds to start trading with the brokers.
The accepted payment methods are Visa and Master credit cards, Neteller, Skrill. The brokers usually require a minimum deposit of $250 USD to begin placing trades with Bitcoin Revolution.

Welcome to this week's edition of The Paleo Rodeo!
The Paleo Rodeo is a weekly blog carnival featuring the best paleo-related posts by members of the PaleoBloggers e-mail list. The past editions are collected on this page.
What is "paleo"? As I say in Modern Paleo Principles:
A "paleo" approach to health uses the evolutionary history of homo sapiens, plus the best of modern science, as a broad framework for guiding daily choices about diet, fitness, medicine, and supplementation. The core of paleo is the diet: it eschews grains, sugars, and modern vegetable oils in favor of high-quality meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables.The purpose of The Paleo Rodeo is to highlight some of the best blogging of the ever-growing paleosphere.
Here is this week's edition:

What needs to be looked at?
• A regional plan that strengthens both urban and rural areas. The plan needs to also look at tier 2 and tier 3 cities and villages
• Cities need to look at vertical growth. It can be as simple as having five-storey buildings. They are a good scale as they ensure decent level of density and the resources and infrastructure such as drainage and floors can be upgraded to accommodate people
• Barcelona is a good example that followed vertical expansion. They have built few 20- or 30-storey buildings, but the uniform density of the city is maintained at four-storey or five-storey buildings. This can be a model for cites like Chennai
• Expansion and redevelopment should be area/locality specific
• Expansion should be carried out keeping the city’s heritage value intact


This morning we will make a wet landing on San Cristobal Island to visit Cerro Brujo, a fascinating lava hill located on the northeastern coast of San Cristobal Island. Here you will find exceptional views of Kicker Rock, as well as the southern part of San Cristobal and the adjacent coast. On this site’s rocks, you can observe Blue-footed boobies, sea gulls, Black-necked Stilts, Ruddy Turnstones, Whimbrels, other sandpiper species, White-cheeked pintails and some pelicans. The protected bay is also popular among young sea turtles and rays, which makes swimming and snorkeling here particularly exciting. In the afternoon we will follow the route that Charles Darwin once took and sail around the massive tuff-rock called Kicker Rock, which is a nesting site for hosts of sea birds. Here, you will be able to find Blue-footed boobies, pelicans, and frigate birds. This is a great site for scuba diving, as hammerhead sharks can be seen in this area.

Meta Description: Discover the best tips and ideas for planning a memorable first birthday celebration for your child. From virtual parties to surprise deliveries and international themes, learn how to make your child’s special day unforgettable, no matter the distance. Read more now!
Celebrating your child’s first birthday is an exciting milestone, filled with joy and love. Even if you’re far away from your little one, there are numerous creative and heartfelt ways to make their special day memorable. In this article, we’ll explore a variety of ideas and tips for planning a truly unforgettable first birthday celebration, ensuring that distance is no barrier to creating beautiful memories.
- Virtual Celebration: Bringing Loved Ones Together
In today’s interconnected world, technology allows us to bridge the distance between continents. Consider organizing a virtual birthday party using platforms like Zoom or Skype. Invite close family members and friends from both India and the USA to join in the celebration. Decorate the virtual background, prepare a delectable birthday cake, and sing happy birthday together. The power of technology can help you share the joyous moments, even from afar.
- Surprise Delivery: Sending Love Across the Miles
Distance shouldn’t stop you from showering your child with surprises. Coordinate with a local bakery or gift shop in your child’s hometown in India and arrange for a surprise delivery on their birthday. A delicious birthday cake or a special gift will surely bring a smile to your little one’s face. Consider sending a care package filled with small gifts, toys, and a personalized letter expressing your love and best wishes.
- International Theme: Blending Cultures
Celebrate the diversity of your child’s heritage by incorporating an international theme into the birthday celebration. Decorate your home in the USA with colors, flags, and decorations that represent both India and the USA. Fuse elements from both cultures, such as traditional Indian sweets and American-style finger foods, to create a unique and inclusive experience for your child and guests.
- Time Zone Surprise: Sharing the Birthday Moment
If the time zone difference allows, plan a surprise video call with your child and their immediate family in India during the peak birthday hour. Coordinate with their parents to arrange a time when they can all be together. Sing happy birthday, show them your love, and let them know you are thinking of them. Being present during this special moment will create lasting memories for everyone involved.
- Storytime: Cherishing Moments Apart
Choose a favorite children’s book that represents both India and the USA. During a video call, read the book aloud, displaying the illustrations and engaging your child from across the miles. This intimate storytelling session will create a connection and provide a sense of togetherness, even when physically separated.
- Virtual Cake Smash: Capturing Precious Moments

Spinning tops aren't a Japanese invention: they are one of those things that apparently all cultures from Egypt to Greece to China to India came up with quite early, mainly as a toy for children. What makes the Japanese approach to them unique is that during the Edo period (1600-1868), street performers turned the simple game of spinning a top or maybe setting two or three tops against each other into a juggling art with some amazing techniques. And to do that, they developed special tops like the Tobidashi Koma Stacked Spinning Tops.
Even though it looks like one top, the Tobidashi Koma Stacked Spinning Tops are actually three stacked on, well, top of the other. To spin them, you need to wrap the handle-like part of the upper part with the included string and when the spin starts, you must quickly take them apart while they are in motion. Yes, there's some skill involved but as with all things, practice makes perfect. And since they are made by traditional craftspeople, when you are not playing with them, they serve equally well as ornaments showcase Edo culture!
Specs and Features:
- Contains 3 spinning tops that fit on each other
- Comes with string for spinning
- Handmade in Japan by traditional spinning top craftspeople

All is not well between Trisha and Nayanthara, if the latest buzz in Kollywood is to be believed. Ever since Nayanthara made her comeback into films, competition between two of the leading actresses in South cinema has turned quite fierce. Recently, Trisha had met her good friend Prabhu Deva at his birthday and even thanked him later on Twitter for hosting the birthday bash. Incidentally, Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva had broken up just weeks before the incident. From the moment Nayanthara announced that she’s making a comeback to films, she has been flooded with offers and she’s reportedly one of the highest paid actresses in the industry today. Currently, she’s acting in Gopichand, Bhoopathy Pandian’s film and she’ll start shooting for Nagarjuna, Dasarath’s film. Not only films, Nayanthara and Trisha are apparently competing with each other even in terms of endorsements. We’ll have to wait and see how far their cold war goes.

Despite his claim to be a fan of the Ten Commandments, Alabama’s Roy Moore is hardly a paragon of virtue. Moore sees himself as above the law and has twice been removed as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to follow rulings of higher courts.
Moore is also accused of looting a non-profit group he created to promote “moral law,” asserting that he wasn’t taking a salary from the organization when, in fact, he was – a big one at that.
But most disturbingly, allegations surfaced during Moore’s recent U.S. Senate race that he preyed on teenage girls, one as young as 14, when he was in his 30s. Several women came forward with credible stories about Moore approaching teens for dates and assaulting them.
Moore lied about his connections to these women. On the campaign trail, he insisted that he didn’t even know them. That fell apart when one woman produced a hand-signed card Moore gave her when she graduated from high school, matching other Moore signatures on other documents.
None of this mattered to Alabama’s white evangelicals, 81 percent of whom supported Moore in a Dec. 12 special election for a U.S. Senate seat – a race Moore narrowly lost to Democrat Doug Jones.
As the allegations swirled around Moore, Religious Right leaders and supporters of these groups tied themselves in knots to explain why they were continuing to back a suspected pedophile.
Much of what was said was deeply offensive. Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler asserted that Moore’s tendency to chase young girls was no big deal because Mary was young when she gave birth to Jesus.
Others simply ignored the charges. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and a notorious scold who has never hesitated to attack others for their sexual behavior, did a radio ad for Moore in which he called Moore “a man of proven character and integrity.”
Religious Right leaders looked at this situation and made a calculated decision to back Moore in spite of the charges. They did this because they did not want the Republican Party to lose a seat in the Senate. They put political power over principle.
It wasn’t the first time. Religious Right groups and their far-right evangelical supporters did the same thing in 2016 when they decided to stick with Donald Trump, despite the release of the Access Hollywood videotape of Trump boasting about how easy it is to sexually assault women when you’re famous.
For decades, leaders and members of the Religious Right have been quick to judge anyone who fails to measure up to their narrow “moral” standard. They have assailed members of the LGBTQ community, single mothers, feminists, non-believers, political progressives and others.
The Religious Right has claimed that it wants to purify strains of what it considers to be immorality in American society. That is bad enough. Many of the people labeled “immoral” by the Religious Right hadn’t done anything wrong except run afoul of some meddling would-be theocrat’s narrow interpretation of the Bible. They had no desire to be “purified.”
Now we find – surprise! – that the Religious Right didn’t even mean it. For all its talk about “biblical morality” and “Christian values,” the movement didn’t hesitate to line up behind a man who, according to some accounts, was banned from a shopping mall in Alabama for bothering teenage girls. This is evidence of a movement shot through with moral bankruptcy.
If nothing else, this pathetic turn of events has given opponents of the Religious Right powerful ammunition for use in the future. The case of Roy Moore was a moral test for the Religious Right. Not only did these groups fail it miserably, they didn’t even try to pass it. Not one group hesitated to throw its support behind Moore and at least one of them, the American Family Association, tried to discredit the women Moore had assaulted. We should not hesitate to remind Religious Right activists of this at every opportunity.
When the story of Moore’s behavior broke, Republican leaders in Washington talked about the possibility of not seating him if he won and temporarily cut off money to his campaign. But that didn’t last. They soon re-embraced Moore and turned the money spigot back on. They are morally culpable as well.
Moore is a spectacularly ineffective figure. He would have been a train wreck as a senator because, at the end of the day, he’s little more than a showboating blowhard, not a serious public policy advocate.
Moore and the Religious Right deserve each other. Here’s hoping we’ve seen the last of both.

Korean concern Kia is preparing to debut a concept electric car on November 11. This novelty is intended to be a serial crossover with an electric power plant.
The manufacturer did not declassify the official data on its electric car. But already now it can be argued that the Kia Concept EV9 is being constructed on the general “electric” E-GMP architecture from the Korean brands Hyundai-Kia. The novelty will acquire from the creators two units with an all-wheel drive system.
It is expected that the EV9 concept will become an analogue of the Hyundai Seven SUV, the concept version of which will be presented on November 17th.
According to the teaser photo with the silhouette of the model, we can say that the appearance of the novelty resembles the Kia Telluride model. At the same time, the serial version of the exterior design will be shown to the world community on a model for mass production.
According to reports from the foreign portal The KCB, the production version of EV9 will be renamed EV7 and will be released in the spring of 2023.

Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra is a well known face of film industry. She has worked in films like ‘Ishqazaade’, ’The Girl On The Train’ and ‘Kesari’. One would imagine that a star like her would not be subjected to something like patriarchy and sexism. But the actor has revealed that she too has been a victim of the social evils of society.
While talking about her latest release ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’ – which got a second life with an OTT release last week – Parineeti says that women have to deal with sexism on a daily basis.
“This film is uniquely written. People have become so immune to the patriarchy that they don’t even think about it. Women in India face this every day. When I’m getting my house renovated, the contractors don’t talk to me properly because I’m a woman. They ask if there’s someone else at home they can talk to. I say, ‘No, I bought this house, I’ve made the payments. It’s mine so I will choose the tiles.’ When I tell them to talk to me, they refuse. This film has a lot of similarities to my personal life,” she told Film Companion.
Parineeti also shared an incident, where while shooting for a particular scene in the film, she was reminded of her childhood. She said, “I was reminded of the small town I grew up in, where the women weren’t allowed to eat till the men went to sleep. They couldn’t eat while the men were still seated at the dining table. Even at my house, my mother wasn’t allowed to sit and eat. It’s not that my father made her do this, but it was an unspoken rule in the house.”
While talking about her character (Sandy) in the film, Parineeti says that she and Sandy were trying to show how accepted patriarchy is in India and how much they wish for that to change.
Parineeti was last seen in the Saina Nehwal biopic, ‘Saina’. She will be next seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’, alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol.

The bids for the resolution process for Jaypee Infratech is likely to be finalised by the end of April, sources with knowledge of the developments said on Wednesday.
“The resolution professional has to present the final plan to the NCLT on May 7, so before that the process will be completed,” a source said.
On October 27, the IRP had invited companies, including real estate firms, with a net worth of over `1,000 crore to complete the delayed projects of Jaypee Infratech, including Noida’s Wish Town project, by infusing over `2,000 crore. Steel, energy and cement conglomerate JSW Group, metals and commodities giant Vedanta, the Mumbai-based Lodha Group and Deutsche Bank were among the 18 companies that had shown interest in buying Jaypee Infratech.
However, a consortium of Kotak Realty Fund and Cube Highways, Adani Group and Suraksha Asset Reconstruction Company (Sudhir V Valia, executive director of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, is its sponsor director), were shortlisted for bidding for the beleaguered company. However, the differences in the way the top contenders had bid for the assets had made a straight comparison of one with another complex, making it tough for the lenders to reach a definite conclusion over which bid to accept.
Now, sources say that the three frontrunners were asked to come with revised offers, which would be overseen by an expert panel in the days to come. While inviting the revised bids, these shortlisted entities were also informed that their respective bids would still remain valid, another person familiar with the developments said.
Though Adani Realty and the Kotak-Cube consortium did not revise the bids, Suraksha Asset Reconstruction has submitted a better offer, people aware of the matter said. According to reports, the company has submitted a bid of around `7,000 crore. The company’s revised offer involves setting aside `3,000-3,500 crore towards construction of flats and making an upfront payment of around `2,000 crore to lenders. Also, Suraksha is said to be offering to swap land for loans of around `5,000 crore. FE could not confirm these details independently.
FE had reported on March 20 that the offer by the consortium of Kotak Realty Fund and Cube Highways provides for setting aside nearly `3,300 crore for completing the construction of 29,600 houses and taking over about 1,000 acres along with the Yamuna Expressway. The consortium has offered `40 crore and the remaining 5,000-odd acres to the lenders towards their debt liability, free to be disposed as lenders deem fit.
The initial estimates prepared by the lenders pegged the value of the land at over `2.7 crore per acre. At this rate, its value works out to `13,500 crore.
The Adani Group is understood to have set aside `1,500 crore for the completion of construction of houses and is said to have made an offer to pay `1,500 crore to the lenders towards their liability from JIL. It intends to take over the road and 5,000 acres, leaving 1,100 acres to be left to the lenders to dispose of, as they want.
On August 9, 2017, the Allahabad bench of National Company Law Tribunal had admitted the insolvency plea of IDBI Bank against JIL and appointed Anuj Jain as the IRP, suspending the board of directors of JIL.

Garden design services include a wide range of tasks to make your dream garden come to life. When you book your garden design through Airtasker, you can save time, minimise stress, and achieve the output you're looking for. Whether you just moved into a new home and want to develop your garden or you want to spruce up your outdoor space, our design experts can help you out. Here's what to expect when you hire garden designers through Airtasker:
Your garden design project starts with a consultation with your garden designer so they can find out your needs and talk about what you want to achieve with your dream garden. Are you looking for wildlife garden designers who can help you create an outdoor space where birds, butterflies, and bees can thrive? Or maybe you're aiming for a modern garden design to suit your new home?
Since every garden and home is unique, your garden designer will survey your space to spot possible opportunities that can be maximised or analyse potential challenges that can arise throughout the project.
After the consultation, your garden designer will then use all the information provided to create a detailed master plan for your garden. You can visualise where to place specific landscape surfaces such as paths, lawns, and patios, as well as suggested materials, colour schemes, water features, and lighting systems.
The plan also comprises a plant and flower bed design where your trees, topiary, and other greenery are located, depending on your personal preferences and which species best fit with the conditions in your garden. Other aspects such as construction details are also included complete with exact measurements and specifications so your contractor can build your garden exactly as you envisioned.
Once your garden build begins, your garden designer will be on-site to oversee the project. Together with your landscape designer, the entire build process is regularly monitored to ensure that all hardscapes and external features are implemented following the design plan and with high standards. In case something unexpected arises during the garden build, your garden designer is at hand to answer any questions and offer quick and effective solutions.
If you want to prolong the look and quality of your newly built garden, you may also ask your garden designer for a garden maintenance plan. You can use this yourself or freely pass it on to your gardener for their reference.

(UPDATE: 8 p.m.) - In unfortunate news for storm lovers, but good news for others, Environment Canada has ended the storm watch for the Okanagan.
All three cities pinpointed by EC — Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon — are no longer under severe thunderstorm watch.
(Original Story: 6:30 p.m.)
Clouds are compiling over the Okanagan Saturday evening with the potential for a severe thunderstorm, according to Environment Canada.
The whole of the Okanagan has been placed under a severe thunderstorm watch, with Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon all included in the watch.
Photos from today's thunderstorm threat in the Central Okanagan, BC!— Zach |🇨🇦 (@Zach_wx) May 25, 2019
Once again, one certain storm took the main stage at 4:30 pm, & lasted a good 2 hours, producing heavy rain & strong winds. Tomorrow seems like the day for a thunderstorm! #BCStorm #StormHour #PhotoHour #Storms pic.twitter.com/6GpF1LgHhc
Environment Canada is calling the current conditions favourable for "bands of rain with scattered thunderstorms" expected to hit the Okanagan today.
EC is expecting 5 to 10mm of rain across the region with up to 15mm in certain areas.
Storm cells developing between Kelowna and Vernon will continue to move WNW this evening. These storms are producing heavy rainfall. Storms could hit Hwy5 Merritt to Kamloops by 7-9pm, storms could just pass Merritt but a direct hit in Kamloops looks almost promising #BCStorm— LM/FV/Nicola Valley Weather (@valley_weather) May 26, 2019
Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when certain conditions are present for the development of thunderstorms with the potential to produce large hail, damaging winds or torrential rainfall.
"Showers with the risk of thunderstorms will continue through this evening and taper off by midnight," their alert reads.
A few strong storms are back-to-back with each other, moving west-northwest, that'll go north of Kelowna.— Zach |🇨🇦 (@Zach_wx) May 25, 2019
Storms further to there south may also undergo intensification, which may impact Kelowna. This could be the main event of the day. #BCStorm pic.twitter.com/7xtzD9RNvF
The fire danger rating for some Okanagan cities are currently low. West Kelowna and Penticton have been rated to have a low fire danger rating for Saturday, though they are both predicted to increase to moderate danger by Sunday.

Ratings for Dr. Catherine Zip
I have been with Dr. Zip (and the phototherapy clinic downstairs) for about 7 years now. Always friendly and professional. Prescription refills are a phone call away, and I see her every six months on a pre-booked appointment right after I get out of the examination room. Even in first morning appointments you can wait, but it isn't a long wait and I understand that new patients or new circumstance patients can take longer, as there is no way to rigidly time your patients. As a patient myself I appreciate this ability to discuss changes to my changing skin conditions, and she always takes the time to explain things. Rigidly timing appointments would create a doctor that turns to their wristwatch in mid sentence and walks out to see the next time slot. The reception is often spotty but I treat them with respect and they return the treatment on most occasions. Parking is and always has been a gong show/crap shoot. Still, I'm a happy customer and grateful to have access to a great specialist locally.
I always am left waiting for Dr Zip even early morning appointments when you think you'd get in right away l. And then you wait more (while you have stripped down to your underwear for a full body check chilled in the room). I am going to switch doctors.
I've been to Dr. Zip twice now, and both times, the front end staff have been rude, arrogant and lazy. It's almost comical, how important they think they are, and how badly they treat the customers. Long wait times in both cases. The first visit, Dr. Zip stood in the doorway like she didn't want to get anywhere near any more skin. The 2nd visit was better, she actually examined me quite thoroughly and was quite professional. The parking situation is crazy - always full, and the stalls are so narrow. But the worst is definitely the receptionist with dark hair and glasses. Awful person.
The front receptionist needs to be fired! I don't mind Dr Zip at all but I hate coming in to see her because of her front receptionist! She's very rude to me. She doesn't communicate with me and she makes me wait for her to respond. Everytime I come in and see her. Im always waiting an hour to see the doctor. I do believe the receptionist has something to do with this. Dr Zip will lose a customer if they keep her!
I have been extremely fortunate to have Dr. Zip as my trusted dermatologist for over 20 years. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, practical, and optimistic when dealing with patients. Dr. Zip has always gone the extra mile to assist me whenever an issue arises by calling me or my pharmacist directly on the same day. She is very organized and, although I only see her once or twice a year, she recalls my case with accuracy and ease. She is friendly and doesn't rush you when you're meeting with her. Wait times are to be expected in this age of health care cuts but, compared to other specialists, Dr. Zip is as efficient as possible with her appointment times. Her staff has experienced some issues over the years but they've been resolved on my recent visits and they are by no means a reflection of the great care that Dr. Zip provides. It's also important to note that the Dermatology Center no longer has 4 to 5 doctors on Dr. Zip's floor. This may have contributed to the longer wait times and some people's negative encounters with front office staff in the past since the number of patients was much higher back then. Booking appointments with Dr. Zip is much easier than at other specialists. They allow you to book several months in advance and even up to a full year ahead of time. It's also rare to have specialists' offices call to remind you about appointments nowadays but her office staff does follow this protocol. Unlike some offices, phone calls are answered promptly and you won't need to call back repeatedly to speak to someone. The nearby pharmacy is top notch as well. I have personally witnessed renovations over the years so, in response to previous reviews about the office decor, attempts have been made to update it. Anyone would be blessed to call Dr. Zip their dermatologist!
Very impressed with the kind and knowledgeable service I received from Dr. Zip, including a personal phone call from herself when I had side effects from a drug. I never feel rushed with her and she even squeezed me into an appointment with very short notice. My skin has never been better. Just be prepared for the long wait in reception if you have an afternoon appointment.
