Fuller's Hill Little Gransden
The Old Dairy accommodation at Fuller's Hill is 20 mins away from Cambridge City Centre, and is based on a working farm and air field. This lovely cottage features a functional kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, oven and hob, cooking utensils and cutlery, glass and tableware. There is a freezer in the communal laundry room. A dining table is located in the kitchen. In the lounge areas we have soft comfortable sofas. (This apartment has a sofa bed for two extra guests to sleep on), a large flat screen TV with free-view channels, Blu-ray DVD player, free WI-FI throughout the apartment and a music docking station. Our bathrooms feature clean modern design with tiled walls and floors, hand basin, shower and toilet. The apartment has two bedrooms, one with a super king size bed and the other with two single beds, which can be easily joined to form a super King size double. Our beds are dressed with Egyptian cotton linen encasing feather pillows and duvets, all on a luxury mattress. In the bedroom area we have ample storage in the form of hanging space and drawers. The apartment has a hair dryer, iron and ironing board and access to a communal laundry machine facility where you can find a vacuum and clothes dryer.
The Old Dairy accommodation is located in the very oldest part of the original barn, built in the 1700s. It has two bedrooms (a double and a twin), a traditional kitchen with an old-fashioned farm house style sink to reflect the dairy heritage and separate living area. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and bathroom with a shower with a sofa bed giving sleeping up to 6 persons. It operated as a dairy until the 1950s – the cows entered through the same front door you will use to get inside the property and after being milked would be ushered out through the door in the living room.
From this apartment there are views to the airfield and this has been reflected by some aviation themed items, such as a polished propeller on the wall, interesting photographs taken from the air and a coffee table featuring an aeroplane engine. This apartment really reflects the farm's transition from a traditional 1950s arable and pastoral farm to a modern agricultural endeavour – in the 1960s the Jefferies used aerial crop spraying techniques for a time, combining their interest in flying with their agricultural duties. If you have any flying enthusiasts in your party, this is definitely the apartment for you.

Do you know essential tips to prevent malaria? As peak season for malaria is approaching, it is important to safeguard yourselves from deadly malaria disease attack. The main reason for increasing the malaria cases is not being hygienic. Improved awareness initiative programs will help to reduce the malaria cases. Here are few malarial tips suggested by Dr. Rajkumar Chaudhary, Hon. Secretary, Association of Hospitals. 6 malaria prevention tips: • Protect yourself from mosquito bites by sleeping under an insecticide-treated mosquito net. It does not have any ill effects on humans. But make sure to select a mosquito net that is in good condition with no holes. • Spray the room with an insecticide before entering.• Wear loose and long sleeve shirts, trousers and socks when out at night. It is good to prefer light colored clothes as mosquitoes get attracted to dark colored clothes. • Apply a reliable insect repellent containing diethyltoluamide (DEET) to your clothes and exposed parts of skin. If you are using any sunscreen lotion, apply it first and then apply DEET second. Even it is good if you use a sunscreen that contains a repellant.• Cover bedroom doors and windows with fine mesh netting. Use air-conditioning or a fan in the room, as mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures.• Mosquitoes thrive very well in humid, hot corners. So prevent breeding by keeping your doors and windows closed from the areas with constant wet grass, stagnant water, puddles and stagnant water in cans. Malaria symptoms: The symptoms of malaria start around 7-10 days after being bitten by a carrier mosquito. The patient feels fatigued, has bouts of fever every few hours, shivers even when the outside temperature is normal, and suffers from headache, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If immune system is weak, the symptoms may get triggered sooner than usual. If these symptoms are found it is advised to get diagnosed under doctor consultation, as early diagnosis helps to treat the disease sooner. By Lizitha
Many natural oils have therapeutic properties to cure many diseases. Using an adequate amount of right kind of oils and fats can play a pivotal role in treating many diseases. Many natural oils are also has ability to slowdowns ageing. They are natural and chemical-free alternatives which are used since olden days.

Its unique combination of fatty acids can have profound positive effects on health. It is considered as "superfood". The scientists have found that coconut oil also reduces premature signs of aging. Its fatty acids have shown to speed up overall metabolism. Avocado oil: There are many benefits of avocado oil for skin. It helps in reducing oxidation and also used as nourishing and moisturizing agent. It can be applied directly to treat sclerosis, gum infections and arthritis. It also promotes proper digestion and weight gain. Antioxidants like vitamins A, D and E in avocado cause the skin to be suppler, and are thus particularly good for dry or aged skin. Pumpkin oil: Pumpkin seed oil has many positive health effects. It helps in preventing hair loss and also protects men's prostate from BHP as it is rich in Zinc. It has been long valued for their anti-microbial benefits including anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. It also helps in preventing hair loss.

It shows positive effects on skin, treating arthritis and many other health issues. It has positive effect which may help with symptoms of menopause and lower cholesterol. Omega 3 Fish oil: It is the best type of fat produced by oily fish. It is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids which show positive impact on heart and brain health. Many Americans have turned to omega-3 fish oil supplements for its positive effect on health. It also has ability to aid in treatment of heart diseases, reduce cholesterol, weight loss, treatment of depression and anxiety. Omega 3 fish oil is also helpful in improving the skeletal system. AW: Lizitha
As per the American College of Cardiology study, it was revealed that omega-3 fatty acids may help restrict further damage after a Heart attack. During the study patients taking 4 Grams of prescribed omega 3 fatty acid capsules daily for 6 months after an attack had shown significance in heart function compared to the patients taken Placebo. It was known that omega 3 fatty acids lower the inflammation and protect against further declines in heart function. Heart function was measured by an expansion of the left ventricular endosystolic volume index. Patients taking omega-3 fatty acids also had significantly less evidence of fibrosis, a thickening or scarring of the areas of the heart remote from the heart attack, which can develop when the surviving heart muscle works harder and under high pressure to compensate for the damage to the heart. Senior author Raymond W. Kwong stated that "patients who were able to mount a substantial change in levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood derived the most benefit". He also said that intake of higher amounts of omega 3 fatty acids will lead to some adverse reactions like increased bleeding. In addition he said the daily 4 gram dose is roughly equivalent to someone eating a large, 8-ounce serving of salmon every day for six months.However it was a positive result from the research study. It is good to concentrate on eating diet containing omega 3 fatty acids in order to protect the heart from further attacks. Aw: Lizitha
According to the Research study published on the latest issue of JAMA International medicine, it is concluded that people who take Sauna for 4 to 7 times a week have reduced the risks of cardiac morality by 63 Percent. This seems to be the positive result as cardiac attacks are one of the common issues seen commonly in people. But on using Sauna, now there is chance of reducing the cardiac mortality. The results were base on a 20-year follow-up research of a population-based sample of 2,315 middle-aged men from Eastern Finland. As per the study, sauna bathing reduces mortality caused by coronary and other cardiovascular diseases. In Finland with only 5.4 million populations, every household has at least one sauna in average. So it is estimated that in coming years Finns are going to be the healthy ones. AW: Lizitha
When you talk to someone you look into the eyes of that person. If the eyes of the other person are beautiful and expressive you can't take off your eyes. An Expression is complete when eyes are also used as a medium. Eyes are described as lotus, as a deep lake and in so many ways by the poets. Everyone wants their eyes should look beautiful and expressive. But unfortunately eyes betray a person when he or she is low on physical energies or under stress. There are simple tips to maintain the looks of the eyes and its sight. A simple exercise in the morning and a care at night before sleep will not take much of your time but will give amazing results. Exercises: Keep your neck straight without any tension in any part of the body. Look straight without looking at anything in particular and start enriching your eye muscles- one, by moving the pupils and two, by rotating them. Move from left to right and right to left for a minimum 10 and a maximum 20 number of times. Move from top to bottom 10 to 20 times. Move them diagonally form top left corner to bottom right and back for 10 to 20 times and then from top right corner to bottom left corner and backwards for the same number of times. Rotate clockwise for 10 to 20 times and reverse the order to anti clockwise for the same number of times. Applications: Beautify your eyes and make them fit to use with simple things available in the kitchen like cucumber, tomato etc. The application removes dark circles and puffs. Apply cucumber juice around your eyes and wash off after 10 to 15 minutes. A tomato paste made with fresh tomatoes, gram flour and turmeric powder can be applied and retained for 10 to 15 minutes before washing with plain water. Cool tea bags remove dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Crush mint leaves and apply around your eyes and wash after 10 to 15 minutes to get a total relaxation. Don'ts Sufficient sleep is necessary to retain the fitness and beauty of the eyes. If you try to stay awake till late nights because of a TV serial of interest or any other work, eyes get strained. Close eye lids frequently. Staring continuously makes the eyes sore. Eye lids periodically close automatically but it can also be done voluntarily to retain its fitness. It is said 'Sarvanganam nayanam pradhanam' meaning eyes are more precious than any other parts of the body. If the face of a person is like a monitor of a computer system to look at and interact, eyes in it are like a guiding factor like a cursor. (AW-SriJa)
Peanuts are a healthy snack that is very popular in India. India is one of the top countries (followed by Brazil and China) that produces and consumes peanuts. People have it raw, boil it, chop it to use as a topping ingredient or add in dishes and desserts. Did you know that peanut doesn't actually belong to a nut family? Peanuts came from a legume family just like beans and peas. There are many varieties of peanuts. However, Virginia, Spanish, Valencia and Runner are the most commonly available varieties in market. We love breaking the peanut and munch on it as a snack. Peanut butter is another creative way to have it. However, many people are allergic to peanut butter and simply drop eating peanuts. Well, peanuts do not cause allergy and if you are not allergic to the nut, you can have them. There are many unknown benefits of the small and crunchy peanuts.

You must have heard that many people prefer to become a vegetarian from a hard core non-veggie. Sometimes it is for religion and sometimes for health. There are many health benefits of being a vegetarian. So, before you become a veggie, know the benefits of its diet. Healthy Stomach- If you are a complete vegetarian then you have lots of vegetables in your diet. Vegetables are rich in fibre that is very necessary to keep the bowel movement clean. This fibre you can barely find in any non-vegetarian diet. Reap the benefits of a vegetarian diet by inincluding lots of fresh veggies in your meal. Vegetarian nutrition is also very good because it is an ample source of amino acids that is necessary for a healthy metabolism. Fats- A veggie diet is low in fats and sodium. Thus it helps in keeping the blood pressure level to a minimum. And the fats that vegetables have are not at all harmful. On the contrary they are very essential for the human body. This also keeps the heart in good health. Whereas on the other hand animal fats are very harmul and also the carrier of many germs and diseases. No Toxins- The many health benefits of being a vegetarian comes from the fact that it is free of any kind of toxins. As animals are like any other human beings, sometimes they undergo an adrenaline rush that produces steroids and other stress hormones. This gets released into the bloodstream. Whenconsumed by human beings it forms harmful toxins that might harm the human body. Also sometimes these animals are injected with growth hormones. These too lead to the formation of many diseases upon human consumption. Hence is it not better to keep to a vegetarian diet for its benefits? Lower Cancer Risks- A veggie diet is rich in antioxidants, minerals, phytochemical, vitamins and many other nutrients. There can absolutely be no comparison of the nutrition that a vegetarian diet provides you. The several nutrients found in a veggie diet strengthens the immune system against most kinds of cancer Low Weight- Among the many benefits of a vegetarian diet one is that it helps you maintain your weight. If you ditch a non-vegetarian diet and switch to a complete fat free veggie diet then that will help you lose weight considerably. Vegetarian meals are filling and hence you fell less hungry and end up eating less. These are all the health benefits of being a vegetarian. Be a veggie and live a healthier and longer life.
When was the last time you stopped and took a long, hard look at yourself? With days getting over before you know it, life can get so busy at times that you tend to forget to look after yourself. Don't worry though. You can make improvements in your daily routine, which can make your lifestyle better and healthier. Here are some quick tips... Keep yourself hydratedWhen you are dehydrated, it slows down your blood flow leaving you tired and listless. Drink water when you wake up to give yourself a boost of energy. Make it a point to drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water during the day. Don't skip breakfastWhile skipping any meal isn't good, missing your breakfast is one of the biggest mistake you can make. Research shows that skipping breakfast makes one burn fewer calories during the day. This is especially true for those on a diet. Several dieters assume that a skipped meal is beneficial in reducing the calorie intake when this isn't true at all. Have snacksSnacking can actually be good, however, ensure that what you eat is healthy. Snacking on dried fruit, low fat cheeses or yoghurts can keep your metabolism running on high gear and keep you energetic throughout the day. Exercise regularlyMake exercising a fun activity, not a chore. Use the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or cycle instead of taking the cab or bus, and brisk walk for 20 minutes daily. Listen to music while you walk or ask a friend for company. Reduce alcohol intakeWhile indulging in alcohol daily doesn't slow down your metabolism, studies show that having it everyday can result in weight gain because your body processes alcohol first, leaving the calories you ate from your meal until last. This means that those calories are most likely to be stored as body fat. Don't go on fad dietsWhen you regularly keep going on different diets, you are depriving your body of essential nutrients. You might be unintentionally consuming fewer calories than are required to keep your body active — this results in lethargy. If you really must diet, make sure you consult an expert who will know what diet to put you on. And don't expect miracles overnight. Healthy diets take time to show results. Take a breakRelaxing and taking breaks will make you feel rejuvenated both physically as well as mentally. Sleep for seven to eight hours every night and make it a point to relax during the day. Even unwinding for a few minutes daily makes a big difference.

Vitamin C is like the building block of our cells and is important for a multiple number of reasons. Vitamin C is essential for the normal functioning of the human body. It is also known as ascorbic acid and is primarily found in all kinds of citrus fruits like lemon, oranges, guava etc. Also they can rarely be found in any animal supplements. Free-radicals- An extremely rich store of antioxidants vitamin C helps fight free radicals in the body. These free radicals can cause much damage as fast ageing and organ damage in the body. You may thus have a healthy dosage of vitamin C rich foods like lemons each day to stay protected from the harmful affect of free-radicals. Cancer- Vitamin C has many benefits among which providing protection against all kinds of cancer is one. It does so by making the antibodies and immune system cells active. Hence we find that how important it is to consume vitamin rich foods in our diet to stay protected from diseases. Mood Boosters- In a bad mood? Have some vitamin rich foods. Deficiency of vitamin C may also lead to mood swings. This vitamin converts certain amino acids into neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are very important for receiving and sending messages to the brain that affect our mood. Body Structure- Vitamin C has many benefits for the human body. It forms the basic structure of collagen that is again the basic foundation of connective tissue found in capillary walls, ligaments, skin, cartilage, bones, joint linings, bones and teeth. People with a vitamin deficiency have weak bones and loose skin. Hypertension- The benefits of vitamin C can be found for hypertensive people also. People who are hypertensive must consume some foods rich in vitamin C on a daily basis. It expands the nerves and muscles and thus, saves them from any further deterioration due to hypertension. Cold- Many people have the misconception that having lemons in cold can aggravate it. This is completely wrong as it has been proved by researches that enough doses of vitamin C may lessen the tenure of your cold infection. DNA Damage Protection- Protecting our DNA from damage is again one of the most amazing benefits to derive from vitamin C rich foods. The antioxidants in vitamin C neutralizes the unstable oxygen molecules that might otherwise cause damage to the DNA cells. Thus we see how having vitamin C rich foods are important for our body function and growth. Include it in your daily meals to live a healthy life.
People who follow a healthy lifestyle live up to 6 years longer compared with those with a high risk profile, reveals a Swedish study. Living a healthy lifestyle into old age add five years to women's lives and six years to men's, the study found. This is the first study that directly provides information about differences in longevity according to several modifiable factors, said researchers. It is well known that lifestyle factors, like being overweight, smoking and heavy drinking, predict death among elderly people. But is it uncertain whether these associations are applicable to people aged 75 years or more. So a team of researchers based in Sweden measured the differences in survival among adults aged 75 and older based on modifiable factors such as lifestyle behaviours, leisure activities, and social networks. The study involved just over 1,800 individuals who were followed for 18 years (1987-2005). Data on age, sex, occupation, education, lifestyle behaviours, social network and leisure activities were recorded. During the follow-up period 92 percent of participants died. Half of the participants lived longer than 90 years. Survivors were more likely to be women, be highly educated, have healthy lifestyle behaviours, have a better social network, and participate in more leisure activities than non-survivors. The results showed that smokers died one year earlier than non-smokers. Former smokers had a similar pattern of survival to never smokers, suggesting that quitting smoking in middle age reduces the effect on mortality. Of the leisure activities, physical activity was most strongly associated with survival. The average age at death of participants who regularly swam, walked or did gymnastics was two years greater than those who did not. Overall, the average survival of people with a low risk profile (healthy lifestyle behaviours, participation in at least one leisure activity, and a rich or moderate social network) was 5.4 years longer than those with a high risk profile (unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, no participation in leisure activities, and a limited or poor social network). Even among those aged 85 years or older and people with chronic conditions, the average age at death was four years higher for those with a low risk profile compared with those with a high risk profile. In summary, the associations between leisure activity, not smoking, and increased survival still existed in those aged 75 years or more, with women's lives prolonged by five years and men's by six years, the researchers said. These associations, although attenuated, were still present among people aged 85 or more and in those with chronic conditions, they added. "Our results suggest that encouraging favourable lifestyle behaviours even at advanced ages may enhance life expectancy, probably by reducing morbidity," they concluded. The results have been published on bmj.com.

Vera-Ellen (February 16, 1921 – August 30, 1981) was an American actress and dancer, principally celebrated for her lithe figure and animated performances with partners Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Danny Kaye, and Donald O'Connor. She is best known for her starring roles in On the Town with Kelly and the 1954 blockbuster White Christmas with Kaye.
Early life[edit]
Vera Ellen Westmeier Rohe was born in Norwood, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, to Martin Rohe and Alma Catherine Westmeier, both descended from German immigrants.[2] She began dancing at age 10 and quickly became proficient. (One of her fellow dance students was Doris Day.) At age 16 she was a winner on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour and embarked upon a professional career.
In 1939, she made her Broadway debut in the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein musical Very Warm for May. She became one of the youngest Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, although she was only 5'4".[3][4] This led to roles on Broadway in Panama Hattie, By Jupiter, and A Connecticut Yankee, where she was spotted by Samuel Goldwyn, who cast her opposite Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo in the 1945 film Wonder Man.
She danced with Gene Kelly in the Hollywood musicals Words and Music and On the Town, while also appearing in the last Marx Brothers film, Love Happy. She received top billing alongside Fred Astaire in the musicals Three Little Words and The Belle of New York. She had a co-starring role with Donald O'Connor in the Ethel Merman vehicle, Call Me Madam. Vera-Ellen's second to last film role was the 1954 blockbuster hit White Christmas, co-starring with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney. She starred in only one more film, the 1957 British production Let's Be Happy. Her last performances were on a November 1958 television episode of The Perry Como Show and a February 1959 broadcast of the The Dinah Shore Show.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
She was married twice. Her first husband was a fellow dancer, Robert Hightower, from February 1941 to November 1946.[5]
Her second husband, from 1954 to their 1966 divorce, was millionaire Victor Rothschild of the Rothschild family. While married to Rothschild, she gave birth to a daughter, Victoria Ellen, who died at three months of age from SIDS in 1963. Following the death of her only child, she withdrew from public life. The marriage between Vera-Ellen and Rothschild ended in divorce.[6]
She was a lifelong Republican and a strong supporter of fellow actor and President Ronald Reagan.[7]
Vera-Ellen suffered from anorexia before much was known about the disease. She was celebrated for her lithe figure at the time. Vera-Ellen also developed severe arthritis due to a combination of years of her dancing and anorexia.[8]
She died from cancer in Los Angeles, California on August 30, 1981 at age sixty. Her interment was at Glen Haven Memorial Park in Sylmar, California.

Dear Asad
Comments on your paper:
General impression: A lot of work has gone into the paper, evidenced by references to wide-ranging literature. That is always good in academic papers (providing, of course, the refs are relevant) and they appear to be used well.
However, I am disturbed by what amount to ideological attacks on elements of the other ideologies that you criticise. This weakens both cases, pro and contra and distracts from the main case against conventional modern economists. I assume you seek support for your ideas among fellow academics and too many, I fear, will be distracted into defensive knee-jerk hostility by simply labelling you as a "leftist" ideologue arguing with "rightist" ideologues (along lines of it's a case of "pots calling kettles back").
The cases of both Russia (sudden transformation") and Chile's (too sudden ambitious transformation) are cases in point. Russia was reeling from the collapse (not too strong a word) of the Soviet enforced state-run economy and its political apparatus, which precluded a long and gradual optimal economic and political transformation, with the results that you outline, though it has generated through recent oil wealth some welcome politico-economic stability with, of course, an authoritarian government. Chile was in political chaos following the murder of Allende, into which some Chicago 'hot heads' – far from humble – flew in to enforce their prescriptions, based on little experience of Chile nor of the pragmatic realities of the country or the Continent (having met with CIA political operatives knowledgeable of South America, I am surprised that this basic error was allowed - 'promoted"? - it was destined to fail). Knowledge of economics of any school of thought is insufficient for transforming an economy while looking for – expecting – rapid results. I suggest a ruthless purge of the essentially political and ideological language in your paper, if it is to be widely read.
Adam Smith may help you here with the substance of your paper. You are correct that Smith did not advocate nor excuse selfish behaviour. He writes thus in 'Moral Sentiments' and in 'Wealth Of Nations'. Moreover, and most relevant, he was quite clear on your basic theme: humans everywhere depend on the voluntary co-operation of thousands of others (WN I.ii.). That is the essential feature of any economy in any society.
Anthropologists show how small bands depend on each other for their sustenance, sharing in times of need and in many cases institutionalising this natural 'insurance' behaviour in (observed not conjectured) band-wide pooling of their labours each day which brings reciprocal sharing behaviours that empirically substantiates Smith's point (in his case conjectured, not necessarily observed). See Christopher Boem, 2012. 'Moral Origins: the evolution of virtue, altruism, and shame'. Basic Books. (Based on scores of cases of field-work and specialist observations).
However, Smith's conjectured point led to his asserted advice in his famous passage in Book 1, chapter 2, of the "butcher, brewer, and baker", widely misread (if read at all), specifically that the buyer, in search of his dinner (more likely his female relative!) must "address the interests ('self-love')" of the seller, and specifically not his own! The needs of the buyer are not the explicit part of the persuasive transaction – that would mean the buyer relying on the seller's benevolence, already excluded as benevolence being an "insufficient" resource (basically nobody has enough of the means to be totally benevolent towards everybody else for everything).
In short, Smith advised addressing our self-interests necessarily by addressing the self-interests of others, that is self-interests are realised on a daily basis by each individual party to the transactions mediating their self-interests through persuasion, conversation, and bargaining, not by egotistically demanding others surrender to ours. This is fundamental to the doctrine of self-interest.
George Stigler's 1976 opening admonition that economics is founded on the "granite of self-interest" needed to be modified by the inclusion of the words "the granite of mediated self-interest"! Smith might have saved the Chicago 'boys' from embarrassment if they had read Smith properly and not been enthused by Stigler's enthusiasms for a half-understood idea that wasn't Smith's anyway.
I hope the above is useful for you.
Very best regards
Gavin Kennedy
