JB Kelly Seafood Connection
Our mission/goal is to bring you the freshest and highest quality and low cost seafood directly from the wharfs of Maine to your dinner plate. We operate rotational venue sites, which include several local farmers markets, seasonal festivals, area wineries and our home base "The Broad Street Market" in Harrisburg.
We buy directly from the fishermen and sell to you 12-36 hours after the fish are caught in the Atlantic Ocean. By doing this, we cut out the middleman, which keeps your seafood fresher and more affordable. With adequate notice, we can accommodate all of your seafood orders, no matter how large or small.
Our fish is always fresh and never frozen. We carry various types of North Atlantic fish species that are harvested legally and sustainable. If you're looking for a specific kind of fish, let us know. We have access to Cod, Haddock, Hake, Pollock, Cusk, Sole/Flounder, Redfish, Mackerel, Swordfish, Sushi Grade Tuna, Atlantic Halibut, Mako shark and Monkfish. Availability and price is usually based on supply/demand and the season.
Our lobsters always have two claws and are soft/new shelled "shedders" in late Spring, Summer and early Fall. Hard/old shelled in Late Fall, Winter and early Spring. Shedders are sweeter and easier to pick, while hard shells are packed full of meat. Average Lobsters weigh 1.25 Lbs. We'll even steam your lobsters in fresh Atlantic Ocean water, free of charge!More Vendors

What is it like to leave home, family and friends to serve in a nation where you often have to learn the language from scratch? It takes faith, passion, courage and an unwavering desire to do God's will. In the first of a series on getting to know our missionaries, Doris Chan, Methodist Missions Society (MMS) missionary in Cambodia for the past 14 years, shares her personal reflections with Methodist Message.
"When I was in my teens, I was very much influenced by missionaries serving here. One of my Sunday School teachers was an OMF missionary doing her language studies. After she left for the field, we continued to keep in touch.
At a youth retreat, and later at a Missions Conference, I dedicated my life to God to serve Him full-time wherever He might send me.
After having been a teacher for 11 years, then going on to complete my Bachelor of Theology at the Singapore Bible College and serving my home church – Faith Methodist – for nine years, I finally entered the mission field.
MMS Cambodia needed a teacher to help kick-start the primary school there. This was clearly what God had been preparing me for, and it was time for me to move out of my 'comfort zone'.
The decision was both hard and not so hard to make. Hard because I had very strong ties with the members in my church. The small group ministry that I was in charge of was challenging, but very satisfying. I was doing well, and things were comfortable.
But then, the decision wasn't so hard to make either – I was reminded of my commitment to God, and it was time for me to move on. By then, both my parents had passed on, and I did not have family obligations. So it was easy to pack up and leave.
In Cambodia, I taught English to the first Primary One class made up of 22 students. I continued to teach them for most of their primary education till they completed Primary Six. By then only 11 students were left. Today I am in touch with nine of them.
I am proud to say that they are all doing well. One has gone on to be a pilot, and the rest are in university.
Their faith in God is what encourages me most. What they learnt in school, they have kept and are growing in the Lord. Several of them also help out with translation when teams visit from Singapore.
I moved on to teach at the Cambodian Methodist Bible School after six years in the primary school. Here I had the opportunity to influence and mentor students who were preparing to be pastors in the local churches. Teaching and children have been my passion, so I concentrated on teaching Christian Education at the Bible School besides teaching other subjects as and when the need arose.
One area I looked into was the children's ministry in the local churches. It was one thing to tell them what to do, but another to actually do it. My challenge was to put into practice what I taught in the classroom.
About two and a half years ago, I started an English centre in a village to reach out to children, and of course their parents as well. Called 'The Upper Room', five villagers now regularly attend our Sunday cell group, and 25 children attend Sunday School. I believe that this form of outreach would be a good church-planting model in other villages.
Although I have reached retirement age – 65 – I am extending my time here to see this ministry through and for as long as my health permits. I am also grooming and mentoring my co-workers Bopha and Chorvin to be more independent, so that they can be part of the succession plan to see this ministry through.
When I came into the field, I did not expect a smooth road. Language was always challenging, the values and expectations were very different. But what has made all the difference has been the precious friendships that I have forged, especially with my domestic helper. At first, she and I were like a 'chicken and duck'- we couldn't communicate at all! When I needed help with groceries, I sketched out the vegetables and learnt the names from her. Our friendship continued even after she stopped working for me. A fervent believer, she has sadly gone home to the Lord.
At the Bible School, I became close friends with several of the students, who would later become pastors. We shared our struggles and meals, and prayed together. It has been a great joy to see some of them married and with families.
I thank God for these very precious friendships with some of the people of Cambodia."
PRAY for * stamina and good health to keep going u two more persons to join The Upper Room ministry u Doris to be a role model to those she is teaching at the Bible School.

Marianne St-Gelais won both races slated for Saturday on the women's side, while Samuel Girard and Olivier Jean respectively raced to first place in the 1000m and 1500m events on the second day of the Fall World Cup Selections taking place at Maurice-Richard Arena in Montreal.
Marianne St-Gelais, from Saint-Félicien, QC, won the women's 1000m and 1500m races on Saturday. She now has four wins in as many events so far this weekend. Friday, she finished first in the 500m race and won the first of two 1500m events scheduled at the competition.
In Saturday's 1000m final, she finished ahead of Kim Boutin from Sherbrooke, QC, Kasandra Bradette from Saint-Félicien, QC, and Audrey Phaneuf from Boucherville, QC. In the 1500m that followed, St-Gelais was again first, followed by Valérie Maltais from La Baie, QC, and Boutin.
St-Gelais will go for a sweep of the women's events at this competition, Sunday, when a second 500m event and a second 1000m race will take place.
"Eveyrthing's possible, but I'm not obsessed with it," said St-Gelais. "All my decisions are based on winning and picking up the most points possible, while trying out new things at the same time."
Samuel Girard and Olivier Jean go on to win
On the men's side, Samuel Girard, a 19-year-old athlete from Ferland-et-Boilleau, QC, won the weekend's first 1000m race by overtaking Charles Hamelin, from Sainte-Julie, QC, coming out one of the turns during the last lap. Charle Cournoyer from Boucherville, QC, earned third place by finishing ahead of Sasha Alexander Fathoullin, from Calgary, AB, by only one thousandth of a second.
In the 1500m, Girard ended up third behind winner Olivier Jean, from Lachenaie, QC, and second-place Charle Cournoyer. Charles Hamelin, who had won Friday's 1500m, fell in Saturday's event in that distance after coming into contact with Fathoullin, and he had to settle for sixth place.
"In the 1000m, I skated several laps behind Charles Hamelin and each lap, I was waiting for an opening to try and overtake him," explained Girard, who represented Canada at the World Championships both at the junior and senior levels, last season. "But at the end, he went wide after a turn so I took advantage of it."
So far this weekend, Girard has a second-place and a third-place finish in the 1500m, as well as a fourth-place result in the 500m.
Olivier Jean said he was quite satisfied with his win in the competition's second 1500m race. That was his first victory of the weekend.
"I'm happy with the result, especially after the bike accident I had over the summer, which prevented me from training during a two-month period – which means I'm not in the best of shapes right now," said Jean, who won a gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Games. "I've put a lot of emphasis on strategy this weekend, taking in a lot of information, instead of just trying to skate with power."
Sunday, on the last day of competition, the 500m and 1000m events will start around 10:45 am and finish at approximately 3:30 pm. Admission is $5.
Selection criterias for the Fall World Cups
The 32 skaters (16 men and 16 women) taking part in the Fall World Cups Selections are vying for a spot on the National Team that will represent the country in the first four World Cups of the 2015-2016 season, including the first two to be held in Montreal (Oct. 30-Nov. 1) and Toronto (Nov. 6-8).
Canada will send a total of six men and six women to each of these World Cups. The three highest ranked skaters, based on the total points earned in their best two distances, automatically qualify for the World Cups. The three other positions per gender will be discretionary choices.
The six skaters automatically qualified based on the overall ranking will be named next week while the six discretionary choices will be announced in a few weeks.
The full schedule, and the list of competing athletes as well as results are available on Speed Skating Canada's website at www.speedskating.ca.

If Rothenburg ob der Tauber is Germany's fairy tale village, Český Krumlov is definitely the Czech Republic's ode to storybook fairy tales. Like Prague, Český Krumlov is situated on the Vltava River which curves its way romantically through town in a way almost reminiscent of streets of Venice.
Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992, Český Krumlov's historic old town is a jumble of 750 years of architectural design including Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance-inspired facades. Its most spectacular feature is the castle that towers over it – Český Krumlov Castle – the second largest in the Czech Republic, after Prague Castle.
In the summer months, tourists easily outnumber the local population of just over 14,000. But regardless of the season, a visit to this gorgeous town is always worth powering through the tour groups occupying its narrow lanes.
How to Get to Český Krumlov
After leaving Karlovy Vary, we headed to Prague and then České Budějovice. From there, we were just a quick 35-minute train ride away. If you're coming from Prague, the journey takes about 3 hours via train or bus. Most stop in České Budějovice on the way.
From the train station, it's about a 20-minute walk downhill. Easy if you're traveling for the day and don't have luggage, but with luggage it's worth getting a taxi ride into town. Cobble stones and rolling bags are a recipe for disaster, especially on the uphill walk back!
If you're driving, there are plenty of parking spaces available just outside the historic center for a small fee. Once in the compact town center, all of the main sights are easily walkable.
Best Hotels in Český Krumlov
Hotel Zlaty Andel – This mid-priced, family-run hotel situated in Český Krumlov's charming main square is where we chose to stay on our recent visit. The hotel offers both traditional rooms and a modern luxury apartment in an adjacent building (great for a splurge!).
There is a full service restaurant on-site and they offer free pick-up and drop-off at the train station if you call them when you arrive. At check-in, when I inquired about the best place to take photos of the town from above, the helpful front desk clerk recommended the street where he lives and gave me walking directions. It turned out to be a fabulous spot on a hill to get terrific shots of the town and castle from above.
Hotel Dvorak – Located along the river, right in the heart of town, this hotel boasts perhaps the best location in all of Český Krumlov. Rooms are generously-sized and many offer balconies with castle views. Spacious family rooms are also available. The outdoor terrace is the perfect spot for people-watching and soaking up the castle and river views.
Mini Hotel Abraka – Located near the main square, this hotel is a great choice for families or those on a budget. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and the service is excellent. The host also provides free transportation to and from the train or bus station. Breakfast is not included in the daily rate but can be arranged on request.
Top 5 Things to Do in Český Krumlov
For a small town, there's a lot to do in Český Krumlov! Here are a few of my favorite things to see and do around town:
1. Český Krumlov Castle & Chateau
It dominates the town's skyline and is typically the first stop on any walking tour of the city. Český Krumlov Castle is one of Europe's largest castle complexes and includes rambling rooms, great halls and noble bedrooms. The views over the town below are picture perfect from every window.
You can walk through the castle courtyards and enjoy the incredible views for free but tickets are required to climb the tower or enter the Baroque Theater. You can check the available tour options and admission fees here.
As you approach the red iron gates toward the Little Castle, you'll cross over the Bear Moat where, since 1707, the famous Krumlov bears have been kept. Don't expect to spot them if you visit in the winter, but in the summer months you're likely to observe them lazing about.
Castle Garden – Sadly, this was closed during our visit but in the spring and summer months it's definitely worth a visit after exploring the castle. A cascading fountain, maze of hedgerows, French flower beds and a large duck pond make for a nice perfect spot.
2. Baroque Theater
More inspiring on the inside than out, this 250-year-old theater is truly a remarkable structure. The original stage and technical equipment have been incredibly well-preserved allowing today's visitors to have virtually the same experience as those who attended performances 250 years ago.
3. St. Vitus Church
The second most prominent feature of the Český Krumlov skyline (after the castle, of course!), this Gothic style church with its tall, slim tower was completed at the beginning of the 15th century. The master stone cutters' work is prominently displayed on the three-aisled dome.
4. Český Krumlov Flatboat Rides
Take to the river to cool off on a hot summer day with a rafting trip that won't get you wet! Český Krumlov's unique wooden flatboats offer the chance to get some of the best views in town with an experienced boatman as your guide. Check with your hotel for booking.
Kayaks are another popular way to experience the river and are widely available for rental along the river banks.
5. Synagogue Český Krumlov
One of the few that withstood the war, this synagogue was once used for worship services by American soldiers. Today, the synagogue is home to a permanent exhibition presenting the history of Jewish culture.
Sweet Treats in Český Krumlov
When in the Czech Republic, it's hard to resist the sugary draw of the local chimney cakes, known as "Trdelnik." Made from rolled dough wrapped around a stick, the pastry is then grilled over a spit and topped with sugar and walnut mix (and often a wide variety of other toppings like ice cream, chocolate and fruit).
While a quick google search reveals that the Trdelnik is more of a recent creation for tourists than an authentic Bohemian pastry, there's no arguing with the fact that they are delicious. And it's fun to watch them made. (Just don't ask someone's Czech grandmother to make you one!)
A fun alternative to the trdelnik – waffles! Also widely available in the Czech Republic (and most of Europe!), the waffles can be topped with pretty much anything you choose – chocolate, fruit, ice cream, whipped cream, you name it! Our favorite spot for either a waffle, trdelnik or crepe is Kafemlejnek, just across the bridge from the Hotel Dvorak.
Instagram-Worthy Photo Ops
No matter where I go, I can't help but obsess about capturing the best images of the destination. If you're like me, here are a few photo ops to look for to showcase the best of Český Krumlov:
Honorable Mention: The Krumlov bears…if you're lucky enough to get a shot of them!
Day trip from Prague or overnight?
While Český Krumlov can be visited on a (very) long day trip from Prague, it's absolutely worth an overnight stay or even a full weekend. This UNESCO World Heritage town overflows with Czech charm and beauty and deserves a spot on any traveler's European Bucket List.

"This Privacy Act notice makes clear that the government intends to retain the social media information of people who have immigrated to this country, singling out a huge group of people to maintain files on what they say. This would undoubtedly have a chilling effect on the free speech that's expressed every day on social media. This collect-it-all approach is ineffective to protect national security and is one more example of the Trump administration's anti-immigrant agenda."

The clink, clink of pocket change deposited into those, never quite full enough, Plexiglas containers that stare up at us from the counter of our favorite fast food restaurant or convenience store is a sound that is familiar to many of us. For nearly twenty-years the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) has been collecting money with its own version of these anonymous donation receptacles, the Agape Canister. Have you ever wondered where that, good-deed-of-the-day, money actually ends up? Does the handful of silvers that we find at the bottom of a purse or amidst balls of pocket lint really feed the hungry, educate the poor, or heal the sick? read more »

Your Next Career Move: Is It Time to Go Back to School?
You've graduated with your Bachelor's degree and have taken a few steps up the corporate ladder. Despite your successes in the corporate world, you have lately been wondering whether going back to school for a master's or PhD would be a better long-term decision. If this is what you are thinking, then you should ask yourself several questions before you even apply for graduate school. Why do you want to go to back to school, and what are you trying to accomplish by considering graduate student life?
Many people revisit the academic world and graduate student life for the wrong reasons. If you are simply bored with your current situation, there are definitely many infinitely cheaper hobbies to pick up instead of a bill for graduate school. If you are looking to impress your boss or other coworkers, there are easier ways to do that as well. If you believe that having a higher degree will increase your salary and/or earn you a promotion, you should do some diligent research to find out whether this is indeed the case.
There are several sites that report the average income of certain professionals, including the salaries of those with a Bachelor's and those with a more advanced degree. Keep in mind that several careers value relevant experience instead of education. Look around your office to see what types of degrees are benefitting your coworkers. Also, don't be afraid to talk to your employers about your decision! Your employers have a good idea about how another degree will affect your professional outlook. If having an advanced degree is important for your profession, many large companies will give you time off to take classes, or even pay for your education! However, remember that companies budget money far in advance of when the money is spent. Therefore, if you know it might help you financially, you should let your supervisors know that you plan to go to graduate school a good semester or year ahead of when you actually start.
If you are thinking about going back to school for graduate study, you should consider the cost of graduate school. How does your desire to have the degree compare to the cost of the degree? After you get a graduate degree, will you work hard to make sure that your money eventually comes back around in the form of a higher salary? If you had asked yourself these questions and still feel like going to graduate school is the right choice for you, then you should compare graduate school programs around your location. Visit the campus, take in the local graduate student life, and talk to a few professors in your potential school of study before making any decisions. Finally, weigh your lifestyle against the time requirements for graduate school. Do you have time to go back to school? Will your family and employer be encouraging and patient towards your graduate student life? Pursuing a graduate degree is a major decision, so be sure to consider all the angles before you make the plunge.

I like resilient plants, cats, sequins, oatcakes, bubble wrap, gin (take or leave the tonic), fresh flowers, hot water bottles and taking pictures. I dislike ticking clocks, cling film, flossing, reverse parking, glitter, tippex, grubby windows and tinsel. Oh and I might as well admit it - I'm originally from Stoke, so the oatcakes I speak of are the kind you drown with melted cheese, sausage, bacon and mushrooms and not the weird Scottish crackers.
My style of photography is creative, relaxed, heart-warming and informal, whoever's in front of my lens.
When it comes to wedding photography I love capturing the precious, often hidden moments alongside the big ones. Gathering all the nerves, romance, tears and laughter into a gorgeous set of photographs is a privilege I appreciate at every single wedding. I make it my job to capture as much detail and emotion throughout the day as I can.
I approach my newborn and family shoots in the same way - I take a step back and aim to capture the way you naturally interact with your loved ones.
I live in Cheshire but I'm happy to travel a reasonable distance to capture your big day.
I have photographed a wide variety of weddings in Manchester city centre, Chester, Shropshire, Merseyside and lots of other lovely places.
Image credit: Hayley Baxter Photography
It's not all about weddings - I also offer newborn and family shoots on location at your home or local beauty spot.
These shoots make great gifts for new parents, anniversaries, big birthdays or just because.
I bought my first 'proper' camera 15 years ago and what began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion. When I'm not behind the lens I'm likely to be running around after my two little people, husband or the cat.

World Mobile Security Marketplace Reviewed by M&M in Comprehensive Research Study Published at MarketPublishers.com
01 Apr 2015 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – The global mobile security market is booming on the back of a hike in acceptance of the bring your own device (BYOD) devices, the soaring demand amid companies for increasing productivity through secure data transfer and access on mobile devices. Furthermore, the surging security issues associated with organisational content access and data travelling across mobile devices requires cutting-edge mobile security solutions. The extensive breakthroughs in technology like cloud computing and enterprise mobility are completely changing the work patterns within the enterprises.

The world mobile security market is set to expand from around USD 1.508 billion as of 2014 to be worth close to USD 5.755 billion by 2019, at 30.7% CAGR, driven by the presence of a highly dynamic business climate, rising concerns about data loss amongst the organisations, skyrocketing cyber-attacks, and essential need for adherence to standards. Region-wise, North America is projected to be the dominant market by market size, with Europe and Asia-Pacific anticipated to witness increased growth over the forecasted period. SAP, Symantec Corporation, Mobile Iron, IBM, and Intel Corporation are the leading players in the worldwide mobile security sector.

| 8.4°C Belfast
A lifetime ban on gay men donating blood in Northern Ireland should be axed if a Government advisory group confirms it is safe, DUP Health Minister Simon Hamilton has said.
The ban was put in place across the UK during the Aids crisis of the 1980s, but was lifted in England, Scotland and Wales in November 2011.
New rules were introduced which allowed blood donations from men whose last sexual contact with another man was more than a year earlier, but Northern Ireland did not adopt the changes. A judge then ruled that former Health Minister Edwin Poots did not have the power to retain the ban.
The Court of Appeal is currently considering if blood donation is a devolved matter or whether responsibility for it lies with UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
When first appointed back in May, Mr Hamilton said he would be guided by "science and patient safety" when deciding whether to lift the ban on blood donations.
In a response to an Assembly question, Mr Hamilton said yesterday that no policy decision can be taken while court proceedings were ongoing.
He said he had written to Mr Hunt asking that the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs provide the current state of evidence regarding the risks for recipients of blood and to give their assessment of the levels of risk.
He added: "If such a piece of work affirms emerging evidence that blood safety has been increased in Great Britain, it would be my view that such evidence should be followed and that Northern Ireland should adopt the same policy on blood donations from men who have sex with men as the rest of the United Kingdom."
This would be a change in position over the issue from the previous two DUP Health Ministers, Mr Poots and Jim Wells.
In 2013 a judge said Mr Poots did not have the power to keep an "irrational" lifetime ban on gay men giving blood here.
The High Court also found he had breached the ministerial code by failing to take the matter before the Executive.
His successor Mr Wells said he also supported a ban. The ex-minister maintained the ban on the basis of ensuring public safety.
The Rainbow Project, a gay rights association in Northern Ireland, welcomed the latest announcement but said more clarity was needed on the issue.
Project director John O'Doherty said: "The minister has not yet stated that the lifetime ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men should be lifted. We urge the minister to clarify his position in this regard.
"All available evidence shows that moving from a lifetime ban to a one-year deferral has not had a detrimental impact on the security of blood transfusions in the UK."

Faith in Roman Leicester
Leicester has been a place of diverse culture and faith for some 2,000 years. A confirmed Roman temple has been discovered and references to other temples have also been found.
First established in 1968 by a group of Pakistani Sunni Muslims, the Islamic Centre would go on to expand from a side street in Highfields to the grand Central Mosque on Conduit Street.
The original Islamic Centre is still on Sutherland Street, made up of converted residential buildings, it is certainly one of the oldest mosques in Leicester. As the congregation grew throughout the 1970s it became clear there was a need for a larger, purpose built mosque to accommodate them. The Trustees and Management Council from the Centre started a project to raise the funds for what we know today as the Islamic Centre, Leicester Central Mosque.
This impressive building is located near the railway station and the city's cultural quarter, in an area with a significant Muslim population. The foundation stone of the mosque was laid in a ceremony attended by Muslim scholars from across the UK and international visitors on 27th August 1988.
The mosque complex includes a main prayer hall, offices, a school, a community hall, a sports hall, imam's residence, a mortuary and a guest house.
Large numbers of Muslim workers from India and Pakistan were recruited for a variety of British industries in the 1950s and 60s. Leicester had a thriving clothing industry during these decades, which included the manufacture of hosiery, knitwear, footwear and machinery.
Local Muslims were using the houses in Sutherland Street as a mosque as early as 1965, leading to the establishment of the Islamic Centre in 1968. Throughout the 1970s many people of Indian descent from East Africa came to Leicester, including many Muslims.
There are now over 35 mosques in the city of Leicester, which cater for a population of more than 50,000 Muslims. Leicester is home to a variety of Muslim organisations that work towards interfaith understanding and community cohesion. This includes, among others, the Muslim Burial Council of Leicester, which received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Organisations in 2007.
Find out more about Central Mosque including opening times.
Leicester has been a place of diverse culture and faith for some 2,000 years. A confirmed Roman temple has been discovered and references to other temples have also been found.
Leicester Cathedral is at the physical heart of the Leicester, situated in Leicester's Old Town. The Cathedral famously houses King Richard III's tomb.
Built in 1708 as a "Meeting House of Protestant Dissenters", the Great Meeting is the earliest example of a major brick building in Leicester.
Today Bishop Street Methodist Church occupies a prime location in the city overlooking Town Hall Square. This area was used as a cattle market and the land around it was therefore cheap enough for the early Methodists to buy and build on.
Affectionately known as the "Pork Pie Chapel", Belvoir Street Chapel was designed by Joseph Hansom, inventor of the horse–drawn cab.
This is the only building in Britain that is entirely devoted to secularism. Secularists believe religion should have no privileged role in civil and state activities. It was a very controversial idea in Victorian times.
The Highfields Street Synagogue was mostly funded by donations from Israel Hart and other local Jewish business men, it opened in 1898.
The cemetery was formally opened by Cllr H Carver JP, Lord Mayor of Leicester in October 1931. Muslim burials have taken place at Saffron Hill since June 1963. Saffron Hill contains the first purpose built Muslim Chapel or Janazgah in Western Europe.
The story of the Golden Mile is one of resilience and enterprise. For many years the Belgrave Road was a thriving area with large companies such as Wolsey and the British United Shoe Machinery (BUSM) company sharing the nearby streets with many smaller workshops and businesses.
Diwali in Leicester is a huge, cultural celebration enjoyed by people who have come from far and wide to see the thousands of decorative Diwali lights along the city's "Golden Mile", enjoy spectacular firework displays and see homes, temples and gurdwaras all illuminated.
What we know today as Leicester´s Jain Centre started life in 1863 as a Congregational Chapel (an independent church).
Leicester's first Sikh gurdwara now occupies a building that used to be a knitwear factory.
Located on the corner of Catherine Street and Gypsy Lane is the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Mandir (BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha), a white limestone Hindu temple. The mandir building is a former denim factory and it has now become one of the largest and most stunning mandirs in the Midlands.
(47- 500) A military fort was erected, attracting traders and a growing civilian community to Leicester (known as Ratae Corieltauvorum to the Romans). The town steadily grew throughout the reign of the Romans.
(500 – 1500) The early years of this period was one of unrest with Saxon, Danes and Norman invaders having their influences over the town. Later, of course, came Richard III and the final battle of the Wars of the Roses was fought on Leicester's doorstep.
(1500 – 1700) The wool trade flourished in Leicester with one local, a former mayor named William Wigston, making his fortune. During the English Civil War a bloody battle was fought as the forces of King Charles I laid siege to the town.
(1700 – 1837) The knitting industry had really stared to take hold and Leicester was fast becoming the main centre of hosiery manufacture in Britain. This new prosperity was reflected throughout the town with broader, paved streets lined with elegant brick buildings and genteel residences.
(1837 – 1901) The industrial revolution had a huge effect on Leicester resulting in the population growing from 40,000 to 212,000 during this period. Many of Leicester's most iconic buildings were erected during this time as wealthy Victorians made their mark on the town.
(1901 – 1910) Electric trams came to the streets of Leicester and increased literacy among the citizens led to many becoming politicised. The famous 1905 'March of the Unemployed to London' left from Leicester market when 30,000 people came to witness the historic event.
(1910 – 1973) The diverse industrial base meant Leicester was able to cope with the economic challenges of the 1920s and 1930s. New light engineering businesses, such as typewriter and scientific instrument making, complemented the more traditional industries of hosiery and footwear manufacturing.
(1973 – present day) Industry was still thriving in the city during the 1970s, with the work opportunities attracting many immigrants from all over the world. While industry has declined in recent years, excellent transport links have made Leicester an attractive centre for many businesses. The City now has much to be proud of including its sporting achievements and the richness of its cultural heritage and diversity.

Chicken Salad with Chutney, Coriander and Lime
I sometimes will pick up a Rotisserie chicken at the grocery store as a real treat. They are always so tasty and moist. Usually we eat it just as it is, but sometimes I turn it into a tasty casserole or delicious salad. You can often get them marked down as well, depending on what time you get to the shops. In fact they sometimes give you a better deal if you buy two . . . so you can eat one as a roast chicken on the day, and strip the meat off the other one for use on another day.
I know, it might seem rather lazy, and it is . . . but there are days when you just have a lot on, and will be in and out . . . and there just isn't enough time to cook anything much proper . . . a rotisserie chicken beats the heck out of a burger meal or the like! Along with some veg and a packet of steamed rice, you've got a tasty nutritious meal ready in no time at all!
This is one of my favourite salads that I like to make with the meat. Not only is it very quick to make, but if you use low fat mayonnaise it is not all that bad for you at all. With the added crunch of toasted walnuts and the sweet tangy spice of some mango chutney, it is chock full of flavour, and colour! We like it at any rate!
*Chicken Salad with Chutney, Coriander and Lime*
Serves 4
Printable Recipe
A great lunch salad that makes good use of a rotisserie cooked chicken. If you use low fat mayonnaise it is also relatively low in fat and calories. It also makes a delicously scrummy sandwich filling!
250ml of low fat (or regular) mayonnaise (1 cup)
125ml of mango chutney (1/4 cup)
1 plain roasted chicken (approx 3 pounds)
3 1/2 ounces of chopped toasted walnuts (3/4 cup)
2 stalks of celery, trimmed and chopped
1/2 of a medium red bell pepper, trimmed, seeds discarded, and chopped
a handful of fresh coriander, chopped (cilantro)
3 limes, divided
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
a small head of Boston or garden lettuce
Place the mayonnise into a large glass bowl.Cut any large pieces of mango in the chutney into small dice, and then add the chutney to the mayonnaise, stirring well to mix.
Remove and discard the skin from the chicken. Cut the meat into 3/4 inch cubes. Stir in the walnuts, celery, red pepper and coriander, mixing all in well. Juice 2 of the limes and add 3 TBS of the juice to the chicken salad, stirring it in to mix. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. (you can make it ahead up to 4 hours at this point. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature 15 minutes before serving.)
To serve, arrange a bed of lettuce leaves on each of 4 chilled plates. Mound a portion of chicken salad on top of each. Slice the remaining lime into 1/2 inch wedges and garnish each portion with a wedge of lime.

My "story" is no story. It is my life though, and it's mine to live in the best way I know how with the best tools I know to use, in service of the best intentions I know to pray for. I am here to Love and Serve. I have known this since my high school days when my life as a "retreat junkie/spirit junkie" first began, attending, staffing and designing church retreats. I travelled nationally as a competitive gymnast, and my love for travel and adventures on the road has only grown since those days. Being an athlete taught me how to listen and take care of my body in a certain way though, and laid the perfect foundation for me to learn more about this as I grew older, learning new ways of listening even deeper, and practicing new rituals of self care. My spiritual life was always being fed by the various communities I invested my time and attention into. I fell in Love, got married and had two of the most incredible children that were the absolute Light of my life. I shifted from working as a Youth Minister in churches to bodywork as a Massage Therapist and Childbirth Doula. I met God in the body-temples of every client I touched, and in every Mother and Baby bringing forth life with their Breath and Being. My hands were, and continue to be, in constant prayer. I am in awe of the vulnerable places I have met humans when they allow their humanity and Divinity, to intersect and lead, simultaneously. My children were the beneficiaries of the fun-loving presence of the Divine fueling every adventure of every day. Together with my husband, we raised our Boys with the values and consciousness that we were afforded through rich experiences in various communities. I continued to dance, and we often danced together as we cooked dinner in the kitchen or as I shuffled them to activities after school. Dance became one of our common languages, and also a direct pathway to experience the Divine moving through us and each other as we shared in those dances – literally and metaphorically. I became a Qoya Teacher and have used the framework of those principles to infuse into our lives: 1 – life is a dance, 2 – there's no way you can do it wrong and the way you know you're doing it right is that it feels good. More important than good, it feels honest and true, and 3 – everything you are looking for is found within. These principals in Qoya, in addition to my faith foundation, were essential to me when my life changed drastically overnight and tragedy hit our family and home, blindsiding us, and our entire community. In the middle of the night our house caught on Fire, and within moments we lost everything we had ever known, everything that had meaning and purpose, and everything that had identified us as the American family living the dream. Our Boys died in that Fire, and life as a grieving, bereaved parent has never been the same since. We were rushed to the Burn Unit in a city two hours away as the news hit our town and hit hard, with a ripple effect that renders one speechless. I became a childless Mother, homeless, shoeless, and from the smoke inhalation damage, without a voice. I did have Community though, I had my Faith, and my Body. Broken in every way, my husband and I experienced a massive outflow of love and generosity from others. Hard lessons in receiving gifts were painfully beautiful, and again, God met us in every person, every landscape and Being we met. With no attachments to home or the things one fills a home with, we learned how to navigate our grief while traveling internationally and domestically. In doing so, we encountered how others also navigate grief, what is most essential in life, and how important it is to take care of one another, seeing, meeting, and responding to the Divine within. A year and a half post-Fire, and much to our surprise, we were gifted from Beyond with a pregnancy and the coming of our third child. After the shock and awe wore off, we re-focused our efforts on rebuilding our infrastructure for our Baby, bought a house, and two weeks after moving into that house, welcomed a beautiful Baby Girl into our midst. She has been blessing us ever since. We have learned to feel all the feels and have embraced the depths of those feelings with unwavering willingness to actually feel them. We have learned to hold space for others while holding space for ourselves. We have learned that healing comes in many forms and is a constant practice, as is grief. We have learned how essential self care is, and that it is a discipline, and certainly NOT a luxury. We have learned to create boundaries and to speak into vulnerable moments that are raw, sometimes scary, and that are best navigated with transparency. We have learned that we can do the hard things when met with Grace and compassion. We have learned how to create form out of the formless, magic out of ashes, and more Love out of the most painful heartache. I would love to teach you how.

Easy Walks in Snowdonia – Aber Falls – Rhaeadr Fawr
Share This:
Location Map
Post Code for Sat Nav: LL33 0LP
Paid for parking in one of two car parks at Bont Newydd.
Public Transport:
Plenty of buses to the village from Bangor or Conwy sides. This adds another 2 kilometers of country lane to the walk.
Weather Forecast: Met Office Snowdonia Mountain Weather
Route Summary:
Rhaeadr Fawr, or Aber Falls, is one of the most popular destinations in Snowdonia.
Distance: 4.26 km
Ascent: 171 m
Time: 1 hour at a decent lick, but allow 2 hours to enjoy the walk, falls and exhibition.
Start and Finish: Aber Falls Car Park
Couple of cafes in the village, but Y Felin can be busy (too busy on the last few occasions) and the Aber Falls Tea Room in the village is good but ring up as that was closed for a privat function when we last visited during Easter 2019.
The waterfall is to be looked at, and venturing in is not recommended.

Easy Walks in Snowdonia – Aber Falls – Rhaeadr Fawr Details
The Aber Falls, or more correctly Rhaeadr-fawr, is one of the most popular waterfalls in Wales. While most of the poplar waterfalls such as the Swallow Falls can be viewed practically from the car, the Aber Falls require at least minimal effort to reach. It's still under 5km of walking in total, with a bonus waterfall at Rhaeadr Bach that can also be visited on the same walk with minimal effort.
There are yellow way-marks, but beyond the initial gate we didn't really notice any and you really shouldn't' need any. This is as close to a walk in the park you'll find in Snowdonia, and the path is wide and suitable for pushchairs all the way to the Aber Falls.
The Aber Falls are best visited just after a period of heavy rainfall, or in those rare periods when they're frozen solid. Avoid during bank holidays unless you want to stand looking at the back of someone's head with the sound of running water in the background.
Of course – a photo doesn't do it justice, so here's a quick video that gives a better idea. In these conditions, you'll need full waterproofs as the spray from the falls is the equivalent of torrential rain!
Easy Walks in Snowdonia – Aber Falls Route Map and GPX Download
Easy Walks in Snowdonia – Aber Falls Route Description
1 – If you've parked at the Car Park at the road, follow the track into the car park, ot follow the yellow waymark on this side of the river for a rougher start that's not push chair friendly. From the upper car park, descend the track both routes meet at the hut shown below. From this point the route is easy to follow as you just need to keep on the well built path all the way up to the Aber Falls. The gradient is easy all the way, which you can see from the sets of photos below that it's difficult to tell which photos are on the uphill and downhill sections.
2 – After half an hour, depending on your pace, you'll arrive a Aber Falls. It's really that easy. You can view it from the path on this side of the river, but you can also cross the Afon Rhaeadr-fawr on the footbridge for an alternative viewpoint on the far side. On the footbridge, you'll notice the oddity here of a way-mark for what appears to be the Wales Coast Path. You've not gone woefully off track, but they mark some circular walks from the coastal path.
The Aber Falls cascade for around 37 metres from the hanging valley of Cwm yr Afon Goch, a wild cwm frequented by few but the most dedicated hill walkers en route to climb Llwytmor or towards Bera Mawr. A far cry from the crowds that you can find at the base of the falls at peak times. You can make out the footpath that leads there across the scree slopes, but it seems to vanish onto a sheer face as it approaches the top of the falls into the cwm above. Note that the path isn't worth climbing for those looking for a better view of the falls. The river starts off as Afon Goch above the falls, Afon Rhaeadr-fawr below the falls and then Afon Aber once it merges with the Afon Anafon near the start of the walk (see if you can spot the confluence on the walk).
2b Optional Extra – We suggest adding a ten minute diversion to the nearby Rhaeadr Bach, if only for some peace and quiet to eat your lunch. This is only around 400m from the main falls, and will add no more than 20 minutes out and back, or around 30 minutes with some viewing time. You can also continue along the footpath for a longer circular route that brings you back into Aber
3 Descend the same way. There's very little to add over the description of the walk up!
4 If you've parked at the car park at the road at Bontnewydd, there's a final optional riverside diversion. This is slightly rougher, and not suitable for prams, but a better finish to the route if suitable.

With Tests Looming, Much Common-Core Work Still Unfinished, Survey Says
As springtime testing for the common core draws nearer, nearly a third of district superintendents are still scrambling to put in place the curriculum and professional development necessary to teach the standards, according to survey results released Wednesday.
Take a look at my story on edweek.org for more details on this new report by the Center on Education Policy, which has been tracking common-core implementation for four years. It's an intriguing snapshot of schools' readiness for common-core tests.
Sneak peek: Superintendents are more enthusiastic now than they were a few years ago about the common core's rigor and its potential to improve students' skills and knowlege. But they also are getting a clearer picture of the depth of the changes that are necessary to put the common standards fully into action. And big chunks of that work are still unfinished.
Read the story and see whether parts of it resonate in your districts.

In a Democratic primary race repeatedly accused of lacking zest, embellishments of the truth are not exactly in short supply—even when it comes to a candidate's own mother.
In last week's Town Hall meeting, broadcast on NY1's "Road to City Hall," Democratic candidate Anthony Weiner answered a question about education in which he railed against Bloomberg's 2003 education system renovation, claiming that his own mother retired from 31 years as a public school teacher due, in part, to the fact that the mayor "took so much of the creativity out of the classroom with a cookie-cutter approach."
The $35 million plan adopted a top-down approach to bettering NYC schools and allowed Bloomberg to wield greater authority in the selection of chancellors and superintendents. Under the new program, all public schools—save the roughly 200 best performing ones—must obey much stricter lesson plans.
Weiner told the NY1 audience that it was these restrictions that prompted his mother to retire from her position as a high school math teacher at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, along with the "refusal on the part of this administration to negotiate a raise" for teachers.
Weiner is merely the latest mayoral hopeful to stretch the truth in his quest for a lukewarm point and some ink in the papers.
Indeed, a raise refusal might have been a legitimate incentive to quit if not for the fact that the very same mayor that passed the education reforms that prompted his mother's retirement preceded that move with the biggest teacher's salary hike in NYC history—up to 22 percent for certified educators.
And yes, Weiner's campaign confirmed, Mom was indeed certified.
But that's not the best part. The Board of Education told the Voice that Midwood High School, where Fran Weiner taught, was one of the few schools that were exempt altogether from Hizzoner's policy changes.
If only Weiner had done his homework.

So I mentioned that there might be some demand for a custom designed keyring different to previous offerings. Or maybe even other stuff like badges, drink mats etc etc. He's made a prototype keyring which I'm looking forward to seeing. If anyone has any more design ideas, post them here!

Mountain biking has become increasingly popular in recent years, with almost half a million West Australians owning a bicycle. This is a tremendous opportunity to incite interest among cycling enthusiasts to visit the Pilbara region, using the unique North West landscape is the motivator for visitors seeking nature and adventure-based tourism. The Pilbara and Kimberley are perfectly positioned to capitalise on the opportunities that mountain biking presents., offering a rugged environment and a landscape that cannot be found elsewhere
in the world. Initial activities within this project involve identifying existing formal and informal trails, documenting deconstraint requirements to resolve land access, and considering potential amenities to support enthusiasts. By initiating a cooperative and regional approach to trail planning, this project will eventually result in a prioritised, time-bound and costed regional Mountain Bike Trail Action Plan that allows each of the four Pilbara local governments to develop thematic mountain biking experiences within their regions.
Encourage and support a strong coordinated and cohesive approach to Mountain Bike master planning.
Secure external sources of funding.
Develop a purpose-built, prioritised, time-bound and costed regional mountain bike trail action plan that encourages growth and innovation in developing the Pilbara as a Mountain Bike destination (subject to funding).
