Soulton Hall
Set in an incredible 500 acres of Shropshire countryside, this is a remarkable traditional ancient manor house and working farm where you can enjoy total peace and personal, homely hospitality. This idyllic rural retreat permits you to immerse yourself in history and nature.
- Sandra Shields, Travel Writer
You're in a prime position here to explore some of Shropshire's highlights. It's a 10-minute drive south to the historical market town of Shrewsbury, and the quaint market town of Wem is just two miles away. Also 10 minutes' drive away are the beautiful Ellesmere lakes, and the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge is a 30-minute drive. It's also on the cycling route from Land's End to John O'Groats.
Style and Character
This grand house has been restored with loving care by its current owners, who have been unfailingly respectful of its essence. The hotel is subsequently teeming with character, with its wooden beams and panelling, stone mullioned windows, Tudor stone carvings, and Elizabethan walled gardens. It has been privately owned by the Ashton family for over 450 years, with the current generation running things for the last 30 or so.
Service and Facilities
The main house has a characterful restaurant room, and offers friendly and relaxed dining. There's a cosy bar, off the lounge, where you can sit in tub chairs and admire the bucolic views. The medieval Buttery Room, with its huge inglenook fireplace, is a fabulous space for private dining parties.
Additional facilities include an impressive separate events building for wedding ceremonies, conferences, and family celebrations (Soulton Court), spanning two floors and hosting up to 300 guests. Parking is plentiful.
Charming owner Ann is extremely hospitable, courteous, and a mine of information, whether it's discussing roses, beekeeping, farming, or soil. Her husband and son, too, make the whole experience endearing.

There are four en-suite rooms in the main house, all with original features, such as fireplaces, small intriguing alcoves, and wood panelling. They are traditionally styled with antique pieces, silk curtains, chandeliers, and dressing and writing tables. Bathrooms have separate showers, and there are tea/coffee-making facilities.
Across the lawn, there are further rooms in the Carriage House (dog-friendly) offering total privacy with superb views from your own patio. Beyond the walled garden there are rooms in the Cedar Lodge (one four-poster suite; three garden rooms with shared bathroom; dog friendly).
Food and Drink
The menu is good and changes daily, but relying mainly on food from the estate and surrounding farms. Pre-dinner drinks in the sumptuous lounge, served by the delightful waitress (Tilly), then dined by candlelight. Items include pan fried duck breast and guinea fowl breast with walnuts and apricots on braised red cabbage, and rare breed pork loin steak with sautéed potatoes, roasted vegetables with Thai spices and a cider sauce. It's all delicious and the Hereford dry white wine – Broadfield Court Special Reserve – is just fabulous.
A continental buffet breakfast is laid out on a table to the side, and there's a menu offering a cooked selection, which is served to your table.
Value for Money
All four rooms in the main house are £158 (Sunday to Thursday), and £172 (Friday to Saturday). Carriage House rooms start from £134. Cedar Lodge rooms are from £56 per person (up to six). Breakfast is included, while a three-course meal is £38.50; four courses: £45. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Yes. The events building has full enabling access with dedicated toilets. For ground floor rooms, opt for the rooms in the Carriage House or Cedar Lodge. The main building, though, has several entrance steps, and there are stairs up to rooms.
Yes. Extra beds and travel cot available too, on request.

A Sudden End of Flow
During my ongoing literature review I often discover interesting facts about things I've never thought about. Sometimes I can connect these facts with my own observations: The result is mostly a completely new idea why things are as they are. Maybe these ideas are new to you, too. Therefore I'll share my new science based knowledge with you!
This week: This time, I think about the reason why spinning out or losing control in a racing simulation is a very disappointing experience.
While in a state of flow, a person is totally immersed in an activity and derives fun from the performance of it. Furthermore, the state of flow is a very rewarding experience that motivates a person to continue with an activity in order to remain longer in this state. That way, flow can be seen as a state of happiness. Ending or changing the activity are not a good option as it would result in the end of flow.
This of course also applies to playing computer games. Players can get into the state of flow when a computer game provides new challenges they can barely overcome and informs them about their progress towards the completion of the goals. As a result of this, winning, failing or changing the game are no satisfying options as this would result in the end of the flow experience.
Personally, while playing racing simulations, especially in the case of DiRT Rally, I was surprised why it really annoyed me when I lost control over the car or caused my car to spin for various reasons. Recently, I realized that this strong disappointment was not just a result of the fact that I did a mistake but an effect of the instant end of my flow experience.
As racing simulations easily allow me to play at the very limit of my driving skills, they are highly flow inducing virtual environments. Operating the virtual race cars at their limits demands my full concentration and, by indicating the time I needed to complete a lap or a stage, respectively, I constantly receive immediate feedback about my performance. As a result, I am immediately in the state of flow when I start to drive one of those cars.
However, spinning out and subsequently getting off the track is not a soft transition out of the immersion but an abrupt end of it. This sudden end of flow immediately results in a short but high degree of frustration as it is a completely unsatisfying outcome. Simultaneously, it demonstrates the strong motivational effects of game flow.
In the end, since having identified the reason why I am all the time very disappointed after an incident, I just need to smile when it happens to me again as it then makes me feel very connected to my research.

Ariel Investments History
Ariel Investments is a money management firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Since our founding by John W. Rogers, Jr. in 1983, we have grown from 2 to 85 employees with over $6.3 billion in assets under management. Taking a long-term view and applying independent thinking to our investment decisions, we now span the market cap spectrum from micro to large and cover the globe with our international and global offerings. In addition to managing separate accounts for corporate, public, union, and non-profit organizations, we also serve as the investment adviser for Ariel Investment Trust – comprised of six no-load, publicly-traded mutual funds, which are available to institutional and individual investors, financial intermediaries and the defined contribution marketplace. Under Ariel's time-tested patient investing philosophy, we have managed small cap value portfolios since the firm's inception and our flagship Ariel Fund, representing our small/mid cap value strategy, dates back to 1986. Our mid cap value style, which includes Ariel Appreciation Fund, was introduced in 1989, while our focused value strategy, including Ariel Focus Fund, was launched in 2005. In 2009, we added a deep value approach with the addition of a micro-cap value product, which has an excellent track record starting in 2002 and we expanded our deep value line-up in 2011 with a small cap equivalent, Ariel Discovery Fund. More recently, Ariel launched international and global equity separate accounts and mutual funds, also with a long-term approach, at the end of 2011. The team managing these portfolios is based in Ariel's New York office.

Thanks for a good read. I've thought of going, but I'd go nuts with both the dust and all the people. Maybe I'll just show up a few weeks after it's over.
There would be little reason to go outside of Burning Man week.
Do you have any idea how they brought things like the plane in? Was it in pieces? Seems like it would be a herculean effort for something who's life is very brief.
My tour guide on the 747 said the plane was assembled there is pieces. From this article, it seems they started to bring in pieces in 2016.
I think that is the only art installation that is allowed to remain all year, but I'm not sure.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Wiz, here�s another article on going to BM for the first time.
That's a good article. I was able to read it on my PC. The writer sounds a bit more jaded than I am about the whole thing. However, there is no defined purpose to Burning Man. There is no commonality to the people who go. Everybody will leave with a different experience and stories.
The author mentioned having to expose his penis to get a snow cone. I went to that same camp, I passed it often on the way to the port-a-loos. Before you were allowed a snow cone you had to pick a playing card. I picked an ace which was "dealer's choice." The dealer picked the only woman present and told me to smack her ass by surprise. She didn't know we came in together, but I was happy to either way.
After that, I of course asked the dealer for the cards and starting doing magic tricks for her. It was tough because the cards were beat to hell. Everything seems to be at Burning Man.
Finally, I have to say that I find the part about brushing your hair in the tent taking things to ridiculous extremes.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

EPJ D Highlight - Atmospheric chemistry hinges on better physics model
- Details
- Published on 29 September 2014
Improved theoretical model of photoabsorption of nitrous oxide matters because its by-product, nitric oxide, is involved in the catalytic destruction of stratospheric ozone
New theoretical physics models could help us better grasp the atmospheric chemistry of ozone depletion. Indeed, understanding photoabsorption of nitrous oxide (N2O)-- a process which involves the transfer of the energy of a photo to the molecule--matters because a small fraction of N2O reacts with oxygen atoms in the stratosphere to produce, among other things, nitric oxide (NO). The latter participates to the catalytic destruction of ozone (O3). Now, new theoretical work unveils the actual dynamic of the photoabsorption of nitrous oxide (N2O) molecules. These findings by Mohammad Noh Daud from the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, have just been published in EPJ D. The work has led to new calculations of the probability of an absorption process taking place, also referred to as absorption cross section, which confirm experimental results.
In this study, the author introduces improvements in an established calculation approach, referred to as the ab initio time-dependent method. It helps calculate the absorption cross section, or spectrum, of nitrous oxide. The advantage of this approach is that it immediately yields the energy dependence of cross section or spectrum from a single calculation. By taking into account key factors such as the correct angular momentum coupling of the molecule and the component of the transition dipole moment vector, the theoretical model of calculated spectrum has produced better results than previously obtained and more closely matches experimental observations.
Daud's calculation thus provides an improved theoretical prediction of how nitrous oxide evolves and breaks down over time, thus contributing to the nitrous oxide photoabsorption process. Because such processes occur in a small gap between the absorption band of oxygen and that of ozone, the predicted major dissociation pathway allows us to understand the involvement of nitrous oxide in the formation of ozone at molecular level.

NEW YORK, NY May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mouse, one of the nation's most impactful youth development nonprofit organizations, revealed the winners of their fourth annual Diversity in Tech Awards (DIV) at last night's Diversity in Tech Awards Gala in New York City. Each of the award recipients were celebrated for their outstanding commitment to the promotion of diversity in the technology industry:
- Atlassian, a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, received the award for the best Corporate initiative, for efforts including their transparent 2018 State of Diversity Report and increased representation of women in technical and leadership roles, underrepresented minorities in their U.S. offices, and employees over 40 years old.
- All Star Code, a nonprofit computer science education organization focused on young Black and Latino men, was honored with the Nonprofit award for creating a summer intensive curriculum and program that arms young men of color with the skills they need to succeed in technology and helps them find placements in leading universities and companies.
- Vista Equity Partners, a leading investment firm focused on software, data, and technology-enabled businesses, took home the Financial Firm award for their diversity initiatives including the 2018 launch of the Vista Frontier Fellows Program to increase diversity in finance.
- Judith Spitz, Founding Program Director, Women in Technology and Entrepreneurship in New York (WiTNY) was also the recipient of the Individual achievement award for her efforts in encouraging and supporting women to major or minor in computer science or related disciplines.
Mouse is committed to increasing diversity in technology and creating opportunities for youth from underserved neighborhoods to realize their potential. The program aims to create lasting change in schools and communities, and fuel the nation's future. This year alone, Mouse is on track to positively impact over 60,000 students nationwide through computer science and STEM programming and curriculum. By providing students from all ethnic backgrounds with daily access to STEM resources, Mouse is simultaneously narrowing the diversity gap in technology, and improving the representation of women, black and Hispanic technology professionals from low-income areas.
"It is the creative impulse that makes people create music, great films and write books. That creative impulse also underlies all the technology that is created, and Mouse is about empowering educators and students to have that same creative impulse in their hands," said Anil Dash, CEO of Glitch and emcee of the 2019 Diversity in Tech Awards Gala.
"Cushman and Wakefield along with owners and occupiers of commercial real estate in New York City have a vested interest in the development of the next generation, said Dirk Hrobsky, Executive Managing Director, Cushman & Wakefield, an event sponsor. "Increased STEM education in public schools is a great way to help our community educate children and prepare them for opportunities that lie ahead."
Each of the Diversity in Tech Award nominees were scored on various criteria including potential for impact, potential for scale within the organization, leadership involvement and future sustainability. The winners were selected amongst hundreds of nominees from a diverse all-star panel of judges. The judges included:
- Jacqui Cheng, Editor in Chief, Music, New York Public Radio
- Iltimas Doha, Student, Parsons New School of Design
- Bernard Guinyard, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Goodwin
- Kristie Koenig, Associate Professor & Chair, New York University
- Nicole Lindsay, Vice President, Strategy & Operations, MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth
This year's awards were presented by the following sponsors: BNY Mellon, Coca-Cola, Deloitte, Best Buy, Dropbox, RBC Capital Markets, Cushman & Wakefield, MediaMath, Xandr, MongoDB, true[x], LiveIntent, Technology for Youth, Myriad Supply, and Ion Group. All proceeds from the 2019 Diversity in Tech Awards will benefit Mouse.
"Xandr is honored to sponsor Mouse's 2019 Diversity in Tech Awards," said Kirk McDonald, CMO, Xandr. "At Xandr, our purpose is to make advertising matter, and a key priority for us as a company is to build a diverse and inclusive culture for our customers, partners and our workforce. We are proud to support Mouse in championing a movement to increase diversity not just in the technology space – but across all industries."

PHILADELPHIA (The Phanatic Magazine) - Philadelphia Soul fullback Derrick Ross was named to the All-Arena First Team on Thursday while wide receiver Tiger Jones, who is currently in training camp with the Eagles, was named to the second team.
A leading candidate for National Guard MVP of the Year and Russell Athletic Offensive Player of the Year, Ross has been a force throughout the entire season by recording 146 carries for 645 yards and 32 touchdowns -- all of which are Soul single-season records.
The fullback broke his own single-season record for yards in a season (622) with 645 in 2012. His 32 rushing touchdowns make him the first player in League history to rush for over 30 touchdowns in a single-season twice (39 with Dallas in 2011).
His 84 yards against the Orlando Predators in Week 13 was a franchise single-game record, as were his 21 carries. Ross has also added 13 receptions for 187 yards and five touchdowns in the air.
Before joining the Eagles, Jones caught 133 passes for 2,010 yards and 47 touchdowns, finishing No. 1 in Soul single-season history for reception yards, even though he only played 16 games this season.
"I'm very happy for Derrick and Tiger," said Soul head coach Doug Plank. "They are very deserving of the honor. With the highest-scoring offense in league history, the most rushing yards in league history and the least amount of sacks given up this season, I expected more guys to be given that recognition of accomplishment, but we're still happy for Derrick and Tiger."

ADA restroom signs are in widespread usage in businesses and public restrooms across the country. While fulfilling these regulations will satisfy your legal obligation, having ADA restroom signs will add to the success of your company as well--welcoming those with disabilities into your facility, and providing them with the tools they need to easily navigate your site.
Many do not realize all of the details that must be considered for designing and posting ADA-compliant signs. The American with Disabilities Act, also known as ADA was first passed by Congress in 1990, and later amended and updated in 2009. This act protects those with limitations in many ways, including their attempts to seek employment, as well as access to public transportation, as well as signs and easements that help them safely navigate public buildings.
There are a number of common designs available for compliant bathroom signs. They can vary in size and style, yet a standard 8 x 8 plaque is commonly utilized. Though not generally known there are some stylistic variations permissible by law that let companies seamlessly integrate these signs with the rest of their branded signage.
Generally, compliant ADA restroom signs begin with the standard location placard, which notifies patrons of the basic direction to go. They can also choose from a variety of compliant bathroom signs to indicate either a men's, a women's or a unisex restroom. An ISA sign includes both the standard graphic for the specific sex, plus the International Symbol of Accessibility graphic that notifies users of the wheelchair accessibility as pictured.
ADA signage that is legal must meet a number of specific regulations. For instance, the lettering used must not be smaller than 5/8 of an inch or any larger than 2 inches and use a basic font such as Sans Serif. Also, the tactile thickness must be at least 3/32 of an inch with a pictogram that illustrates an appropriate description, such as a man or a person in a wheelchair. A grade 2 Braille translation must also be present. Braille is available in a variety of languages, so it is important to consider your audience and incorporate multiple languages when necessary. A non-glare material is required for the background to assist those with visual impairments. It is important that no matter what color is used, that there is a high contrast between the wording and graphics, as well as the background it is printed on.
There are further regulations regarding the placement of ADA restroom signs. To guarantee that they are safely placed in convenient and observable locations, the law states that they are to be placed on the wall near the door that it is labeling. For a single door, it must be placed on the latch side of the door, or on the closest neighboring wall if necessary. When a double door is present, but only one door is used, the sign is to be placed on the immobilized door. If both doors are in use, it must be mounted on the right side of the right-handed door.
It is important to follow these guidelines closely when planning and designing your ADA restroom signs. A sign company whose only business is signage will easily be able to help you brand your signs and still meet your legal obligations allowing your business to welcome all of your customers. They'll also be able to help you with everything from banners and custom signs to trade show displays.

bali recap.
i love bali. especially the view. can you see the boys' silhouette from where i laid? pretty nice i must say. yuara really enjoyed his time. the minute he was up, he went straight to the pool (he even dragged me when i wasn't following). and he surely adores the beach, he could sit still playing with sand and stare at the waves for more than fifteen minutes (world record!). mama's boy indeed.
too bad we didn't go to padang-padang beach, because dreamland is way too crowded than the last time i went there (2007), let alone the first time (1998 was it?). yeah, we should've come to petitenget instead, i like it there. anyway since the trip involves one little guy, we visited bali zoo and bali bird park as well. he was so curious, he chased around a duck! as for the husband, he got what he wished for - culinary treats. we ate at ultimo, ku de ta, warung made, and la luciola (some time with the kid asleep on my lap). and of course we shopped! i went to my favorite stores: biasa, cat sweet, and jenggala. then found a new one, pusaka. we also took dozens of great pictures with my fuji instax. oh wow, i missed bali already :(

I have really been scaling down the amount of material gifts I give for Christmas, over the last few years. As the busiest shopping season of the year approaches, I wanted to share this list with you. Recently, I've been focusing on gifts that will either create memories that will last forever, or services that will save the recipient time, money, or help them out in some way. That being said, here's my list of TOP 10 non-material gifts your family will love.
1. Theme park tickets (Busch Gardens, Kings Dominion, Disney, etc.)
2. Local attraction passes (Parks, historic homes, zoos, etc.)
3. Annual memberships (magazine, Amazon Prime, Kindle unlimited, Audible, etc)
4. Tickets to a show (concert tickets, movie theater tickets, local stage theater tickets, etc.)
5. Redbox card or video streaming membership (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)
6. Cleaning Service (great idea for busy moms!)
7. Photo Session (get a gift certificate from a local photographer)
8. A year's worth of oil changes, or car washes (perfect for the new teen driver!)
9. Gift cards toward a vacation (Disney/ Cruise line/ Hotels)
10. And last, but not least, a family vacation. This is what my family is doing this year. We are taking a family vacation this year during the holidays. I decided since it's everyone's Christmas gift, I would splurge a little as well. So, we have some fancy dinner reservations, a horse drawn carriage ride, and each person is getting cash for souvenirs.
Happy Holidays!

Hiking vacations have always been my personal favorite: hiking through beautiful scenery by day, enjoying fabulous food without any worries about weight gain, and then ending the day tired and happy in a cozy bed - it doesn't get better than that! But I now have confirmation that not only is it enjoyable, it's even good for me!!
There is a new book out that's been getting alot of attention: The First 20 Minutes by New York Times Phys Ed columnist Gretchen Reynolds. In a recent NPR interview promoting the book, she says "A nice easy walk will improve your health. If you make it a little ... harder or a little more difficult for you to walk, you will become more fit and you will get more benefits. But even if you just walk lightly, you will be healthier than if you don't do anything."
What is another name for walking that is a little harder or a little more difficult? Hiking, of course! One of the main advanages of walking over running is that the risk of injury is so much lower- 75% of runners get an injury every year. So it's low impact and low injury, and walking up a hill or hiking up a mountain at a good pace will give you the same aerobic workout as running.
There are two additional health benefits to hiking:
- If you hike with trekking poles (and anyone who has ever been with us on a hiking vacation knows that we are completely sold on the benefits of trekking poles), you get a whole body workout. Not only your legs but your arms, shoulders, and chest muscles will all get a good workout.
- Your balance will also improve. One of the biggest differences between novice and experienced hikers is their balance. A novice hiker is much more tentative coming down a hill, much more careful about foot placement. Even over the course of a week I've seen dramatic improvements in balance and self-confidence.
Of course there are many other great aspects of hiking vacations, such as the fact that you can choose one to fit your fitness level - you don't have to be in super shape to enjoy one, you just have to pick the one that fits you. Or the fact that anyone can hike - there actually are some skills to learn, but anyone with balance and mobility can have a successful outing the very first time they try. Or the fact you can do it into your 80s and maybe even 90s. Orthe fact that hiking can clear your mind of day to day stuff.
But don't take my word for it. If you've never tried a hiking vacation before, maybe this should be the year!

What can we say in favor of the peplum? "The dictionary describes it as a short full flounce—an extension of a garment below the waist covering the hips." In one way it accents the waist and conceals a small tummy but in another more egregious way it just adds more fabric to a part of a woman's body about which she is most sensitive.
POLLY'S OPINION In my opinion the peplum is a carry-over from another era and fashion designers' penchant to reinvent a woman's figure. Whatever the reason, the peplum has re-emerged in red carpet fashion shows and while the look is stunning on model-like figures, if you are short or slightly overweight there is no way you should consider bringing more attention to your figure flaws than is necessary. So ban the peplum…but if you're model-skinny the peplum is a charming new way to wear your fashion.
BLAME DIOR When the celebrated "New Look" made its debut in 1947 the picture of a fashionable woman presented a silhouette with nipped-waist jacket that had rounded hipline creating as it did, the dernier cri, hourglass silhouette. Full skirts, curves and slightly padded and nipped waistlines recall the elaborate designs of the 19th century. If you are a model-type like Kate Middleton, who has been spotted wearing peplum dresses, you can get away with wearing anything and it just looks perfect, but oh that flirty peplum gives me pause to reflect on my not-so-perfect figure.
THE CURRENT PEPLUM REVIVAL The craze for the peplum was more vividly popular on television in the 1980s. Remember the TV soap operas "Dallas" and Falcon Crest" and those female fashion victims with their broad shoulders and peplum silhouettes. Women viewers got the message and peplums were fashionable again. I ask you, "Is the peplum a reincarnation, a modernized throwback to the bustle of the Victorian era? Yet, for spring fashion collections pay homage to the peplum and for many women the peplum poses a problem. If you are not runway-model slim the peplum will just accentuate your hips and if you have a short waist the peplum only exaggerates how short your waist actually is.
KUDOS TO THE PEPLUM Some praise is needed to thank the peplum for accenting the waist and making it look smaller. It is a refreshing change in silhouette but I protest adding anymore fabric to my body than is necessary to look fashionably chic. However, there are still those fashionistas shoppers out there falling prey to the peplum craze, even if the look just doesn't work for them. So I ask you. "Are they going to wear the peplum fashion to impress their girlfriends?" Believe me no man concerns himself about whether you are wearing the latest fashion trend; he is more interested if you are interested in 'him.' Yes, of course, darling you should look band box pretty, but consider seriously whether the peplum is right for your figure type.

Plastic from Almaciga Beach, on the north coast of the Canary Island of Tenerife Getty Images
Microplastics are found everywhere on Earth, yet we know surprisingly little about what risks they pose to living things. Scientists are now racing to investigate some of the big unanswered questions.
Daniella Hodgson is digging a hole in the sand on a windswept beach as seabirds wheel overhead. "Found one," she cries, flinging down her spade.
She opens her hand to reveal a wriggling lugworm. Plucked from its underground burrow, this humble creature is not unlike the proverbial canary in a coal mine.
A sentinel for plastic, the worm will ingest any particles of plastic it comes across while swallowing sand, which can then pass up the food chain to birds and fish.
"We want to see how much plastic the island is potentially getting on its shores – so what is in the sediments there – and what the animals are eating," says Ms Hodgson, a postgraduate researcher at Royal Holloway, University of London.
"If you're exposed to more plastics are you going to be eating more plastics? What types of plastics, what shapes, colours, sizes? And then we can use that kind of information to inform experiments to look at the impacts of ingesting those plastics on different animals."
Microplastics are generally referred to as plastic smaller than 5mm, or about the size of a sesame seed. There are many unanswered questions about the impact of these tiny bits of plastic, which come from larger plastic debris, cosmetics and clothes. What's not in dispute is just how far microplastics have travelled around the planet in a matter of decades.
"They're absolutely everywhere," says Hodgson, who is investigating how plastic is making its way into marine ecosystems. "Microplastics can be found in the sea, in freshwater environments in rivers and lakes, in the atmosphere, in food."
Multi-million-dollar question
The island of Great Cumbrae off Scotland's Ayrshire coast is a favourite haunt of day trippers from nearby cities like Glasgow. A ferry ride away from the town of Largs, it's a retreat for cyclists and walkers, as well as scientists working at the marine station on the island. On a boat trip off the bay to see how plastic samples are collected from the waves, a dolphin joins us for a while and swims alongside.
Even in this remote spot, plastic pollution is visible on the beach. Prof David Morritt who leads the Royal Holloway University research team points out blue twine and bits of plastic bottles that wash up with the seaweed at Kames Bay. Where it's coming from is the "multi-million-dollar question", he says, holding up a piece of blue string.
"We've just been looking at some of the plastic washed up on the strand line here and you can tell fairly obviously it's fishing twine, or it's come from fishing nets. Sometimes it's much more difficult. By identifying the type of polymer, the type of plastic it is and then by matching that with the known uses of those polymers you can sometimes make an educated guess of where that plastic's likely to have come from."
From the Great Pacific garbage patch to riverbeds and streams in the UK, microplastics are among the most widespread contaminants on the planet, turning up from the deepest parts of our oceans to the stomachs of whales and seabirds. The explosion in plastic use in recent decades is so great that microplastics are becoming a permanent part of the Earth's sedimentary rocks.
While studying rock sediments off the Californian coast, Dr Jennifer Brandon discovered disturbing evidence of how our love of plastic is leaving an indelible mark on the planet. MORE

Let's face it: search engine optimization tips are a dime a dozen. While some strategies are time-tested to ensure high SEO rankings, there are plenty of others that will drive your site into the ground. With Google's most recent Penguin update, harmful SEO practices are now easier than ever to detect. And if they are detected on your site, the implications could be disastrous.
But why does Google make it such a priority to regularly update their search engine? And how do these updates work?
Search engine technicians are constantly studying developments in SEO and adapting accordingly. They tinker with algorithms to ensure the search engines are always one step ahead of the game. This is done primarily in order to ensure that visitors are able to find the content they desire. But undoubtedly, updates like Penguin are also directed attacks on dishonest black-hat SEO practices.
With the most recent Penguin updates, there are a number of SEO practices that appear to be helpful. The reality is that many of these are actually destructive to your site. Can you tell the difference between the helpful and harmful practices? Keep reading for a quick litmus test for your SEO practices.
Four Harmful SEO Practices
1. Build thousands of links in a short span of time. Link building is a great method to improve SEO. However, with recent updates, search engines can now detect if your links are naturally built. While it's tempting to put hundreds – or thousands – of links on your website to widen your reach, this won't be a good long-term solution. It may yield growth for a few weeks, but eventually Google will penalize you for the unnatural practices it sees pull you out of search results.
2. Write short articles with focus on keyword density. Focusing SEO efforts on "keyword density" and "content brevity" are beneficial when it comes to the technical side of SEO. However, with the updates to search engine algorithms, the main needs have now shifted the quality of content. Your site will see growth by publishing articles that are not only unique, but also very informative.
3. Cloaking. This dirty technique involves "fooling" a search engine spider to grab a specific content, when your readers something totally different on page. Spammers do this. Thus, this once often-utilized black-hat practice should now be a thing of the past for all. If it isn't yet for your company, think about making the necessary changes.
4. Duplicated content online. Unfortunately, the phrase "the more, the merrier" doesn't apply to search engines. Some SEO companies will make you believe that putting your content on multiple websites will make it easier for search engine spiders to find them. The reality, however, is this: how will the spiders know which copy is more relevant? It becomes a matter of ownership and relevance to the search keywords, which you will not achieve if you engage in content duplication.
In summary, getting involved in these scheming or unethical SEO techniques will give you a one way ticket to disaster. The best way to reach the top of the search results leader boards is to play fair and provide high quality content to the online community.

The family of a 19-year-old Clemson University student found dead after a 2014 pre-dawn fraternity pledge run have filed lawsuits seeking more than $50 million in damages from Clemson, Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and three individual fraternity members. The suits allege that the student's death was related to a hazing incident that the fraternity attempted to hide from the student's girlfriend, family and Clemson police.
The student who died was one of 27 pledges forced to make the morning run. The student appears to have died after he went over a bridge railing and fell head first into shallow water. The lawsuits assert that he fell as a result of a confrontation with a fraternity member over breakfast that the alleged victim was supposed to have purchased that morning. The Oconee County Sheriff's Office has not released any information about the cause of death to the public, but a previously unreleased autopsy shows that the student died from blunt trauma to his head, while a toxicology screen came back negative for drugs and alcohol.
The university was included in the lawsuits because of what the student's family described as failures to educate the fraternity members about hazing, failure to punish the fraternity members immediately and failure to enforce its own anti-hazing policy. The defendants face both a wrongful death lawsuit and a survival action lawsuit, which seeks damages incurred by the deceased from injury until time of death.
Who Can Help Families After the Wrongful Death of a Loved One?
When the reckless actions of another party cause the wrongful death of a loved one, an experienced attorney can be essential in a family's fight for justice and closure. Nothing will make the loss of life acceptable, but having legal representation to ease the financial strain associated with that loss can make this experience more bearable for families. There is also some peace of mind to be gained from holding those at fault fully accountable for their unsafe actions, and possibly preventing similar misfortune for others in the future.
Stewart Law Offices helps families recover from these tragic losses by making the process as stress-free as possible. Free consultations are available to discuss how our attorneys can ease the strain of dealing with a wrongful death.

So who else thought September was a busy month??
Somehow once you pass July, the days just excelerate and we find ourselves already counting down the days to Christmas (75 days as of today) and then it will be New Years soon after and in February 2014 (if there are no hiccups), guess who will be admitted as a lawyer in Victoria?? ;)
I know it's a bit premature to be saying this given that there are still 3 months to go, but I think 2013 has been both the most challenging and most rewarding year I've had so far.
There's nothing quite like saying good bye to exams for good (at least for the next little while) and starting a new chapter of life. My body has adjusted to the 9-5:30 rhythm but getting the right balance of work/rest/play is something that has to be evaluated on a regular basis.
However, one of the challenges I've met this year has actually occurred outside of the workplace. Continue reading "Challenging and rewarding"

THE final gasping moments of a renowned fighter were captured on a voicemail message as he bled to death from multiple stab wounds, a murder jury heard.
Peter Hoe, 43, was knifed seven times and left to die in his own home in Jubilee Road, Eston, at about 9pm on October 12 last year, Teesside Crown Court was told yesterday.
The prosecution say the keep-fit fanatic, who had a reputation as an "accomplished fighter", was sought out that night and killed by brothers Terence and David "Diddy" Reed.
Prosecutor Jeremy Richardson QC told the jury: "David Reed was fixated with fighting Peter Hoe and wished to rival him as a local strongman."
There had been several incidents where David Reed had expressed "violent intent" towards Mr Hoe, a father of six.
"He was undoubtedly stabbed to death in his front room," said Mr Richardson.
"It is the prosecution's case that both these defendants participated in killing him. We say they were in it together, a joint enterprise.
"Plainly, they intended to kill him. What else can they have intended by what happened? He was left to die."
The prosecution say Mr Hoe deliberately or accidentally managed to call a friend shortly after he was stabbed.
The jury heard that amid some music, a voicemail message captured groaning and strained breathing - Mr Hoe's final moments of life as he died from "torrential" blood loss.
A post mortem examination showed he had seven wounds, four of them "deeply penetrating".
Mr Richardson said the Reed brothers' DNA was found on two fragments of knife handles found near the body.
He alleged the knives broke during the attack on Mr Hoe.
Forensic scientist Valerie Tomlinson thought the knives had been taken into the house by David and Terence Reed.
She also thought Mr Hoe was injured with two knives and quickly immobilised.
Terence, 26, and David, 29, both of Tennyson Avenue, Grangetown, deny murder.
"The defendants deny any involvement at all. In fact, they say it was not me, I was not there," said Mr Richardson.
The Reeds claimed they were not looking for Mr Hoe, but for David's estranged ex-partner and that they were at their parents' home in Grangetown at the time of the killing.
Mr Richardson said that the Reeds' alibis were untrue.
He claims they went to two pubs in search of Mr Hoe, then were seen near his home close to the estimated time of the killing.
A friend found Mr Hoe's body the following day at the house where he lived alone.
It was said David Reed went into a service station about 40 minutes before the killing to buy black gloves, a lighter and lighter fluid, he said for a bonfire in his garden. He left without buying anything.
The Crown say Terence destroyed his clothes and, the next day, bought a jacket identical to the one he had been wearing.
It is alleged David, who had worked with Mr Hoe in an ICI scaffolding team, wanted to fight him and "establish himself into some form of pre-eminent local fighting figure".
About two weeks before the killing, David Reed was seen at the front of Peter Hoe's home shouting, "Come on out" and, "You're dead."
He was previously seen mumbling to himself that he felt he could not beat Mr Hoe, talking angrily in a pub about fighting him, and watching a video of him training.
Mr Richardson said Mr Hoe was known to police, and a paramedic who came to his home after the body was found had attended at five previous violent incidents.

The Balinese are from the island of Bali, which is an island of Indonesia. There are over 4 million Balinese in Indonesia. The Balinese are very close-knit and have strong family and religious bonds. They practice Hinduism, their religion impacts every single aspect of community life. However, Balinese Hinduism differs from Indian Hinduism because some of the original Balinese beliefs are mixed in. Balinese people are known throughout the world for their artistry which can range from paintings, carving, sculpting, dancing, and weavings.
Engagement // What's Happening Now
There are very few workers among the Balinese. Pray for a church planting movement to begin and for the few Balinese believers to be emboldened to share the Gospel with their friends, family, and neighbors.
To join in reaching the Balinese of Indonesia visit AP Spend Yourself.
Sustainability // The Bigger Story
Alan Johnson, a global worker to Asia Pacific, says, "My conviction is that our work is the strongest and most fruit-bearing when the focal point is getting the gospel to those with the least access." The Balinese have limited access to the gospel, but the island of Bali is an increasingly important hub of tourism in Indonesia and a strategic location for a vibrant and missional church planting movement.
Partnership // Move Beyond
Please spend a few minutes in prayer for:
- Pray for church planting initiatives to reach the Balinese.
- Pray for wisdom and creativity as workers share the gospel with Balinese.
- Pray for more workers who will commit to living among the Balinese.
- Pray that God may empower the few believers among the Balinese to be witnesses to others in their communities.

I have made New Year's Resolutions in the past, and they have all had two things in common - almost have all related to eating less, exercising more or both and I have failed with almost all of them within a few days or weeks. So this year it's going to be different. I have resolved re-start my blog, and to learn to crochet. And I'm pleased to say that on only day two I am doing pretty well. I started with a (slightly wonky) small granny square, following a pattern from one of my many knitting magazines:
I was pretty pleased with it, especially because before yesterday I had only ever once used a crochet hook, and that was to put a simple border on a knitted blanket. It was hard to get my head around all the stitches using just 1 colour though, so I abandoned that to work on my first ever granny triangle:
To make it I followed the absolutely excellent instructions on the Attic 24 blog. I am hoping to move on to producing a whole line of bunting. I've got lots of remnants of wool leftover from the many knitting magazines I have bought this year, and it would be great to use them up in a practical (and pretty) way.
I've now finished my first triangle, but have yet to block it. It's a bit wonky, and I haven't darned the ends in yet, but I like it:
I only discovered Lucy's blog at Christmas this year, and have been reading it avidly for the last few days - it is very inspiring and I really love her use of colour. I can thoroughly recommend it - the home page is here.
I just showed this post to my partner who said "but you're called baking doctor and this seems to be about crochet". This is a fair point, but I felt it would be odd to start a separate blog, so am keeping the same name. I'll see how I get one with it, but plan to intersperse crochet with baking, knitting and book reviews over the next few months.
