Take a course
I do sympathize with your fear of driving. I became phobic about it in my mid-20s (I cannot remember why) and did not start driving again until it became a work necessity 20 years later.
I went on an advanced driving course with the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). At the time this was free (it probably still is) and entailed frequent trips with a volunteer passenger, who introduced me to the IAM driving method, designed for safety and confidence. In this way I regained enough confidence to become an effective driver.
But I have to say that I still have a healthy respect for road safety, and also that a decent, up-to-date vehicle is a necessity in saving wear and tear on the nerves. Good luck.

Get out of my way
I am not sure about the mental illness question, but this is unfortunately a common problem. The fact that lorries roar past you tells me that you are one of the people tootling along in the inside lane, arms rigid, gaze fixed on a point in the far distance, forcing large vehicles to crawl past you and causing disruption and congestion.
Apart from that, it is also downright dangerous - frankly, the 45-mph-in-the-inside-lane brigade are a menace to the rest of us. They cause endless frustration and, when selfishly hogging single carriageways, force normally sane drivers into reckless overtaking manoeuvres, which put lives at risk.
Sorry to appear unsympathetic, but this is your phobia. I see no reason why it should be inflicted upon other people who are simply trying to get to their destination quickly, safely and with their sanity intact.
Darren Coates,
Try... therapy
No, you are not developing a mental illness, but ask your doctor to refer you to a psychologist using cognitive-behavioural therapy. I have wasted 30 years hiding my phobia from my family, and have only recently plucked up the courage to seek help.
The most painful part was telling my children, as I felt so ashamed of what I thought of as a weakness of character, and I was frightened of being classified as someone with mental problems. If you can, contact a psychologist privately.

Give up the car
I suspect that part of your problem is that you have bought into the myth that car ownership is a fast track to independence and autonomy. You see your car phobia as a threat to these values and that makes the problem worse. But in my experience, people who cannot imagine life without a car have never seriously considered the alternatives.
The next time you are sitting choking in a traffic jam or hurtling along another stretch of anonymous motorway, ask yourself whether this is the way you want to lead your life.
It took me years to admit that I did not enjoy driving. I finally gave up my car and my life has been immeasurably richer as a result.
I urge you to do the same.
Sarah Leverton,

Harold Barling Town
Harold Barling Town
1924 - 1990
Born in Toronto in 1924, Harold Town studied at the Western Technical School and the Ontario College of Art until 1945. Following his studies, he worked as an illustrator for Maclean's and Mayfair before becoming immersed in the art scene. He also became a lively writer, contributing essays for catalogues, and was the coauthor of the Tom Thomson biography The Silence and the Storm. Among others, he illustrated Leonard Cohen's book Beautiful Losers and Irving Layton's Love Where the Nights are Long: An Anthology of Canadian Love Poems.Town traveled to New York City and Chicago in 1948, where he saw the works of American Abstract Expressionist artists. Outspoken and charismatic, he became a seminal figure in the development of abstract art in Canada. In 1953 he joined Painters Eleven, an innovative group of abstract painters that included Jack Bush and William Ronald. Active from 1953 to 1960, they exposed the public to modernist movements such as Abstract Expressionism.Town worked in a variety of media – painting, printmaking, assemblage and collage. Collage was said to be at the heart of his work, and David Burnett wrote that they were "a complex, multi-directional interweaving of technique, materials, experience and expression." He rocketed to prominence in the 1950s, creating an explosion of innovative work in many different series. He achieved considerable recognition for his autographic prints, a series of monoprint works produced between 1953 and 1959. Widely appreciated nationally, their reputation spread internationally as they received awards in Yugoslavia, Chile and New York. In 1958 he was awarded what was the largest public art commission to that date in Canada – a 10 by 37 foot mural for a hydroelectric dam at Cornwall, which inaugurated the St. Lawrence Seaway. Between 1957 and 1964, he had 15 solo exhibitions – in Toronto, Montreal, Regina, Vancouver, New York and New Jersey, and his work was included in about 70 group exhibitions in Canada and internationally. He was known for his inventive imagery, expressionist brushwork and his control over his painterly images, which engaged in a push-pull of dynamic tension across his surfaces.Town exhibited internationally extensively – he represented Canada in the 1956 and 1965 Venice Biennale, and participated in the Milan Triennial, the Bienal de São Paulo, Documenta in Kassel and the World's Fair in Brussels. He was the recipient of a Guggenheim award in 1960, and in 1966 received an honorary doctorate from York University in Toronto as well as the Order Of Canada. His work is in the collections of London's Tate Gallery, and the Guggenheim, Metropolitain Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York.Retrospectives of his work were held at the Windsor Art Gallery in 1975 and the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1986. Town passed away in 1990, remembered for his quintessential part in shaping the Toronto modern art scene of the 1950s and 1960s.

Sainsbury's Raspberry Pavlova Ice Cream comes in a plastic, oval-shaped carton. There is a pink & white label on the lid which shows a sundae dish of pink and white ice cream with raspberry ripple, and a few fresh raspberries around the outside of the dish.
This isn't what most people would call a top of range ice cream like Hagen Dazs or Ben & Jerry's, but I personally feel it is of exceptional quality.
At first, I found it a little mystifying as to how I should remove the lid - plus the instructions are in such tiny letters that I couldn't read them - but I then managed to work out that you have to break a little plastic seal on the rim of the lid, then it slides off easily.
Inside, I was drooling at the appearance of this ice cream, and hoped it tasted as good as it looked.
The raspberry and vanilla ice creams are alternated inside of the carton, and the top is swirled into peaks. On these peaks is a fairly liberal sprinkling of little white nuggets, which are made of meringue that form a very pleasing texture, contrasting well with the sauce and the ice cream. The raspberry flavoured ice cream is generously rippled with a dark red raspberry sauce. I plunged a large spoon into the ice cream, and it sank in with ease, so I served myself a very generous portion.
Considering how cheap this ice cream is, I found it superb. The sauce is both sweet and sharp, with a strong and fairly authentic raspberry flavour. I found I preferred the raspberry ice cream to the vanilla - the vanilla is very bright white coloured. Though this carton is intended to serve 8 people, I feel that 1/8th of the contents would be an incredibly tiny portion. I ate this whole tub of ice cream in two halves at two separate sittings and still felt as though I could eat more afterwards, each time.
I was very, very impressed with this ice cream. It looked superb and tasted heavenly, plus was extremely cooling and refreshing. Even though it scooped very easily and straight from the freezer, it kept its shape without hardly melting at all, straight to the end.
I would definitely, without hesitation buy this again as it is superb ice cream.
One huge big THUMBS UP to Sainsbury's for this divine creation!

Residential mortgagee sales are on the rise in central and southern Hawke's Bay, while in the rest of the region they are falling, according to figures released by Terralink.
The Hastings District recorded 10 mortgagee sales in the second quarter, falling to seven in the third quarter ending September. Napier fell from eight to seven.
Central Hawke's Bay recorded no residential mortgagee sales in the first quarter, one in the second quarter and six in the third.
The Tararua District recorded one sale in each of the first two quarters and five in the third.
Nationally, mortgagee sales from the July to September quarters fell by 15 per cent. In Hawke's Bay they fell 5 per cent.
Terralink said the reduction in mortgagee sales - forced sales by banks and other lenders - in the September quarter marked "a significant downward trend for the first time since the global financial crisis began in 2007".
"The number of mortgagee sales still remains stubbornly high in comparison with pre-recession figures," managing director Mike Donald said. "However, we are seeing an easing of volumes nationally with only a handful of regions experiencing significant increases in the third quarter of 2012."
The ANZ bank's chief economist, Cameron Bagrie, said exporting regions such as the Bay should ideally be leading economic data, not lagging.
"We need that because, in terms of our net external position, a lot of our current accounts are exceptionally high."
He said the national economy's existing mix of low interest rates and a high currency was driving "the complete opposite of what's ideal" and would not give sustained growth.
There was no one quick fix to the high New Zealand dollar, with Government intervention unlikely to work. Lowering interest rates had proven ineffective in Australia, he said.
He called for a strategic plan.
"At the moment we have a mismatch between the New Zealand dollar and where New Zealand's competitiveness is. There is basically a 10 per cent wedge."
The New Zealand dollar was not going to fall "in a hell of a hurry" and it was up to central government, local government and businesses working together to make up the 10 per cent gap in "productivity competitiveness".
"If we get it, then New Zealand is going to be okay. If we don't, then everyone is going to start to feel it because the critical variable - collateral damage - is in jobs.
"A rising unemployment rate does not bode well for a sustainable upturn in the property market."
Council of Trade Unions economist Bill Rosenberg said there was a significant time lag to a mortgagee sale from when the home owner first got into financial difficulty. "So it is quite difficult to say that there is a trend there yet."
He said the unemployment rate remained a big worry and there was still weakness in the economic growth data.
The Terralink data showed the Auckland region had 137 mortgagee sales in the September quarter, down 14 per cent from 160 in the June quarter. Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Taranaki and Otago had reductions ranging from 25 to 55 per cent.
Manawatu and East Cape stand out as the regions with the largest increases in mortgagee sales when comparing third-quarter figures with the previous quarter.
Mortgagee sales in Manawatu rose by 28 per cent and the East Cape region jumped by 137 per cent.

Let's be honest ladies!
As much as we all love our DH's let's go ahead and say the one thing or perhaps a couple of things they do that is gets underneath your skin!
For me, my DH does not like calling customer service and wants me to do it. I don't mind it at all, but I do mind calling when I AM NOT ON THE ACCOUNT!!! Since we had Dish Network, which sucks by the way, the HD channels never come in. It always says complete signal loss. Have done all the trouble shooting and DH even cut down branches. Friday, some other channels don't work and he tells me to call them. I tell him as I always do, I am not on the account, they are going to ask questions I can't answer so you need to call and add me to account. Why did he just text me and say call dishnetwork? Ugh!

We have a great room with lots of space overlooking the central courtyard with a pool.

Date of Stay: May, 2015
We had just an overnight and parked in one of three designated sites right by the office. Size was satisfactory for a large rig (ours 37 ft). Our site was very level and hookups worked well. The cable was the "plug in the back of your TV" type. We took a chance with our satellite (plenty of trees) and received a signal, so don't know how well the cable worked. There was no air TV in the park. Staff was very friendly. My only complaint was low branches when exiting the park. There was no way a big rig could avoid hitting branches. With the high price and branch issue, we would probably check out another RV Park. Correct these issues and we would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Very nice park located close to town and highway. Sites are very large with lots of grass, concrete patio, and basically level. Laundry facilities are good. But, weekends are busy due to the large number of workers staying here. As far as the permanent RV workers, all their sites are well kept, not your typical mess one finds at most parks. This may be due to the higher price to stay here - $47 for a pull-through. Wi-Fi being very slow at times is the only problem we experienced.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
One has to just love the surroundings to stay here. The park is surrounded by mountains, has a nice pool and laundry room, and very friendly young adults running it. We stayed here two years ago and our critique really hasn't changed. The Wi-Fi is basically nonexistent. Even taking one's computer to the office it runs more like an old LAN connection – slow! Be sure to bring plenty of blocks for leveling and stabilizing though some sites are better than others. Water pressure is very low. Dogs are a dollar a day. Big rigs beware – branches bad when pulling out – that too, has not changed. Electric worked fine. I was told satellite would work at our site – not! Others had no satellite reception as well. TV was basically 3 channels. On a positive note, restrooms and the laundry room were clean. The negatives do not mean much to the owner since nothing has changed in two years. Staying here depends on your priorities and what is important to you. Good for overnight; a week…?
Date of Stay: July, 2014
As previously stated, the individual sites and roads are very wide with good utilities. Staff is friendly. It's a beautiful location by the river and close to downtown. Our only fault is the basically nonexistent Wi-Fi and poor cable reception. For $51 a night, these features should work well. This park could be a real "10", instead of feeling taken for $51 a night by their close-to-false advertisement of Wi-Fi and cable. But this certainly isn't the first park we've stayed who does this. No, we would not stay here again - too expensive for what one gets.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Weekly rate. Our stay was about a year from the last reviews and our opinion of this is park still concurs. Good spacing between sites with patio, attractive plantings, and grass. Open for satellite so can't comment on cable. Read previous reviews for more details. One of the nicest parks for the price we've stayed.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Ditto to June 2014 review. Not sure where May 2014 review was coming from. Nice clean park with large sites - easy in/out. Nice views of mountains. I wonder about their obsession with dogs on "their" grass. There are signs everywhere. Why even have grass? Regardless, it's a nice place we would stay again.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Weekly rate. This is a hard one to rate. It is certainly not a "resort" just because it has a pool. Maybe one day. The new owners are most friendly and working hard making improvements. Very few sites have 50 amp. Most are 30 amp with water and about half have sewer. This is not a large park so reservations would be recommended. There is good grass with most sites that share utility boxes. Also large fields for tents. Winds do create bad dust throughout the Park. Wi-Fi was very slow with frequent disconnects. But we did like the park. It sits right below the Temple with a view of the beautiful valley. Easy walk into town. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
As previously stated, this is a nice Park with large sites. Utilities worked well. But as previously stated, Wi-Fi is TengoInternet. I finally gave up on it and used my MiFi. 10 to 20 minutes to just about anywhere in the city. Would probably stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Close to town. Large gravel sites. WiFi is OK. No cable, but satellite worked well. Be sure to call for a reservation because only a few sites are designated for people traveling through who want to stay for a few days. A nice clean park with friendly people. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
All of the positives and negatives from the 2013 Reviews are true. We enjoyed the location for exploring and the bathrooms were spotless. But, that was about it. I have to say the camp hosts were more than friendly and helpful when I had to complain about a newly arrived neighbor who shoved our picnic table up against our rig so that he could have more room for his. One trailer I noticed had expired tags and a lot had temporary tags. I got the impression most were just "existing" in this RV park and not workers with a place to stay while in the area. This is the first RV park in 7 years of RVing I did not feel completely safe. All this was in the pull-through area. With all that said, I would consider staying in the paved back-in area if in the area again. It's away from the questionable trailers and next to a nice grass park area. We have stayed in a lot of fairgrounds and county RV parks, but have never experienced a place like this. It's ashame because Jefferson Fairgrounds as a whole is very nice. The county authorities should realize this is a very poor reflection of Golden that these conditions exist, not to mention losing repeat customers.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Ditto to July 2013 review. Sites had adequate room. Wished there had been some grass for our dog. Liked the location for visiting places like Steamboat to the north and Silverthorn area to the south. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Ditto to July 2013 review. As of Aug 2013, the dog run is mowed, but the Wi-Fi still drops its signal frequently. Liked the location and laundry room. Rock surface mighty rough for our toy poddle. Unfortunately, not a lot of nice choices in the area. High price, but it is a KOA.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We liked this RV Park. The sites were good size, basically level, utilities worked well, and a great location. But still expensive at $47 a night, especially with poor WiFi and no cable. TV reception for the basic network channels was good. Will probably look at other parks if through here again, primarily because of the KOA price. I don't expect the price to change because they appeared full each night.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This is a very nice KOA. Previous reviews described it well. But I must ditto the concern for the highway noise. We travel for 6 months every year and can not remember ever being unable to sleep due to highway noise. To this point, we will find another park when in this area again. A shame.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
I agree with the previous reviews as to the negatives. I would add leveling is an issue at some sites with a drop in the rear. Toy haulers will have an extremely difficult time with the angle. We had to unload our motorcycle on the road before pulling into our site. This is our second stay here and can report all negative issues have not been addressed. At least they could cut the grass. But, with the prices of RV parks around Bozeman, the owners really aren't concerned, as their park was full. On a positive note, the camp workers could not be nicer, and the sunsets from the top of this hill are outstanding.

Injuries hit key players
Page Tools
Australian coach Wayne Bennett will run fitness checks on key players Darren Lockyer and Craig Fitzgibbon ahead of Saturday's Tri-Nations clash with Great Britain, following the 32-12 win over New Zealand yesterday (Melbourne time).
Matchwinner Lockyer, who scored one try and created another to turn around a 12-8 half-time deficit, has aggravated a rib injury he received in the Anzac Test in April.
Fitzgibbon, who kicked three goals on his return from injury, has a shoulder problem, though not the one that kept him out of the drawn opening Tri-Nations match against NZ last week.
Lockyer was benched as a precaution when the team was comfortably ahead and Bennett was optimistic he would play against the Lions. "I would say from having been with him (Lockyer) all year that he's probably stirred the scar tissue up a little bit," Bennett said.
"I don't think he will have broken it.
"Craig Fitzgibbon will be in some doubt. He hurt his other shoulder tonight."
Lock Tonie Carroll was also helped off with concussion, though he is expected to play in Manchester on Saturday.
Bennett paid tribute to his side's second-half performance, as it ran in 24 unanswered points. "It was much improved on the first half," he said.
"(The Kiwis) were playing pretty good and they got two tries leading into half-time, which is always a bad time. We were pretty flat in the changing rooms."
The Kangaroos squad has moved on to Leeds, while several fringe players will take part in the Cumbria v Anzac match at Workington on Wednesday.
The Anzac side, which will include the likes of Brett Kimmorley and Matt Bowen, will be coached by Steve Walters and New Zealander James Leuluai.

The Future of DDR Memory is Serial
Tuan Nguyen
February 20, 2006 1:05 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
24 times capacity is just the beginning
Serial high-speed data paths
Memory constraints are paving way for a new way to connect memory to chipsets using serial technology
In the server space, having lots of memory is crucial to the performance of information serving machines. These days, with increasing demand for information faster and in greater amounts, the amount of RAM a server can hold vs. the speed at which the RAM can operate at is a tough compromise. With current parallel technology, there is an enormous amount of engineering involved in getting a chipset to communicate with memory modules. Worst of all, parallel interfaces tend to run a whole lot more paths than serial.
Engineers are now facing a serious problem. Manufacturers and customers are demanding more memory -- meaning more modules. Unfortunately, more modules and memory channels means running more electrical lanes and it's becoming increasingly difficult with the limited amount of room on a motherboard (server boards or otherwise).
FB-DIMMs or Fully Buffered DIMMs alleviatethis technical problem by replacing data channels that traditionally take up a lot of room, with a small number of ultra high speed lanes connected to a buffer that's directly integrated on the DIMM. New memory modules using the new technology will have its data lines connected in serial similar to the way PCI Express lanes work. High speed lanes will carry data and leaves room for chipsets to support capacities not possible with today's registered DIMMs. In fact, FB-DIMM technology can give a chipset the capability to support up to 192GB or more and a blistering bandwidth of 40GB/sec. compare that to today's 8GB capacity for the same pin count.
At the moment, FB-DIMM is an exclusive technology to the server space because costs will be high and the consumer space just simply doesn't require the massive amounts of memory that FB-DIMM is beneficial for. Today we already have servers that will support 16GB to 32GB of memory. The initial benefits of FB-DIMM will be to drive costs down. After this is accomplished, higher capacity and greater bandwidth designs can be developed and the engineering required to do so will be easier. For memory capacities in the 8GB to 16GB range, FB-DIMM currently does not offer much of an advantage. For anything higher, the rewards are clearly substantial.
What exactly will happen with current generation DDR technology? Not much will change. For the short term, DDR2 will be the next step and by year's end, Intel and others will be introducing DDR3. FB-DIMM is an overall extension of DDR technology and not a replacement. The buffer chip itself will sit on a DDR module, acting as the communications controller between the memory chips and the system chipset via a serial link.
It also appears like memory companies with a strong focus on enthusiasts and power users will be designing and producing FB-DIMM modules for those who demand higher capacities. "FB-DIMM technology could make sense for end users, however FB-DIMMs really only make sense in system memory configurations in excess of 8gb. It may be worth noting that OCZ has dedicated a team of engineers towards taking advantage of FB-DIMM technology for enthusiast grade products," said Ryan Petersen, OCZ Technology's CEO.
Some of us here at DailyTech actually have upwards of 8GB of DDR memory in our systems. Apple's OSX for example, truly shines with lots of memory and the difference is much more pronounced than it is in Windows. Current generation games are also beginning to push desktop memory requirements further. Titles such as Battlefield 2 perform best if there is 1.5GB or more of memory in the system.
Technology in general is moving faster than it ever has, and the up curve continues to increase. The enterprise space is crying out for FB-DIMM technology and it will not be too long before enthusiasts are demanding the same.
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Ben Spies believes the change to 1000cc bikes in MotoGP this year will help him be "better in every way" than he was in 2011.
The American took his maiden MotoGP race win at Assen in his first season on the factory Yamaha, but ended the campaign 84 points behind team-mate Jorge Lorenzo as he took fifth in the standings.
"The goal this season is just to be better in every way," said Spies in a video interview as part of Yamaha's 2012 season launch.
"For me, it's not just challenging my team-mate, but challenging everyone and being at the front. We need to make another step and be more consistent than last year. I believe with the new bike we can do that."
Spies said the more powerful bikes would allow him to return to the riding style that he used when taking three AMA Superbike titles and winning the World Superbike crown as a rookie.
"I'd like to think the 'elbows' style hasn't left at all, it's just the 800cc bikes were more difficult to ride with my riding style," he said. "The new rules will benefit the way I ride the motorcycle. Hopefully I won't have to work on riding the bike differently and I can ride the bike like I want to."
Although arch-rival Honda has topped most of the pre-season testing so far, Spies said he had been encouraged by Yamaha's performance and rate of development.
"I think the Yamaha engineers have done a fantastic job," he said. "We went to Sepang twice now and we had a lot of parts to test. In the last couple of years it's been more refining and tuning, but we had a lot of new parts.
"We've reached some good solutions on different things with electronics and the engine package. We've been working quite hard over the winter and we have some more stuff to try. The bike's just been getting better and better every test, which is good."


text: Our History For over 26 years we have been providing bespoke financial services and a vital means of support to some of the most disadvantaged communities across the globe. Our journey started in 1986 when the Christian development agency, Traidcraft Exchange, sponsored research into the role of banking and investment within the fair trade movement. The research found that the main challenge faced by those producing fair trade goods was access to working capital. It was out of this that Shared Interest was created, a unique financial organisation that aimed to do business for mutual service rather than for investor profit. The Society was publicly launched in October 1990 with the financial backing of the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and the Ecumenical Development Co-operative Society (EDCS). Within a year, we had attracted £750,000 of Share Capital and 600 members. Today, we have over 9,000 members in the UK, each investing between £100 and £100,000. This provides share capital of over £36m with which we share the risk of lending to communities in the developing world. While we were based on Christian principles, we have a lot of support both from various faith groups within the UK as well as from those with no religious affiliation. We operate as a community benefit society with members who share our vision of a world where justice is at the heart of trade finance. We form the link between UK social investors and fair trade organisations across the globe needing finance to grow their business and improve livelihoods. The majority of the businesses to which we lend are either certified by Fairtrade International (FLO) or are a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). They range from small-scale handcraft producers tolarge coffee co-operatives and fair trade retailers. We offer a variety of lending options that enable our customers to pre-finance orders, build up harvest stocks, purchase essential machinery and infrastructure, make advance payments to farmers and artisans and finance inventory for new shops selling fair trade goods. You can read case studies of how our support has assisted producers in Appendix 3 of our Social Accounts. In 2004, Shared Interest established a subsidiary, Shared Interest Foundation. The charity delivers practical business support in the developing world, helping fair trade businesses to improve their financial management and other business skills. Through Shared Interest Foundation we have helped to establish fair trade country networks in Rwanda and Swaziland, and work in partnership with others such as Fairtrade Africa to target support where it is needed most. Our Foundation has brought in funding to support this work from donors such as Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief, and is also supported by donations from around 200 individuals, organisations or trusts each year. For the last eight years, Shared Interest Society has been following a strategy to increase direct lending to producers. In 2006 our first overseas offices opened in Central America East Africa. We now have representatives in Kenya, Ghana, Peru and Costa Rica. As a result, for the first time in 2013, direct lending to producers exceeded lending to buyers. We are proud that the Queen's Award for Enterprise has been awarded to Shared Interest Society twice in the category of sustainable development. This happened first in 2008 and again in 2013. In 2015 we were also awarded the Third Sector Award for Enterprise. During 2014/15, our finance reached over 400 fair trade organisations globally and we made payments of £51.4m to producers and buyers across the world. In addition, we provided training and support for 263 fair trade businesses in seven countries. In April 2014 we increased our £20,000 account limit to £100,000, and in August the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 came into force as part of a continuing programme of reform which Co-operatives UK has been promoting and lobbying for on behalf of its members and the co-operative sector for a number of years. This meant that the Society changes from an Industrial Provident Society to a Community Benefit Society. See our timeline here

Once earning enough money to cover what the thief had stolen, Santiago decided to return home. But then he was reminded of the treasure in Egypt, and decided to join a caravan heading to Al-Fayoum. In the caravan, he met the Englishman, a character that had a full education and was searching for The Alchemist. He believed in omens, and he had been given the same white rock and black rock that the kind had given Santiago. The caravan was led by a fat Arab, that talked a lot about himself and his religion. During the caravan, Santiago spent most of his time observing the caravan and his surroundings while the Englishman read books. One night, while looking at the stars, the Englishman decides to pay more attention to the caravan while Santiago decides to read a few of the Englishman's books.

Hawke's Bay Magpies rugby team manager Neil Weber had the appearance of a flustered travel agent rather than a sports team boss yesterday.
The Magpies' travel arrangements for this weekend's ITM Cup Championship semifinal trip to Dunedin were still far from finalised when the Magpies finished training at Napier's McLean Park yesterday afternoon. Weber pointed out one option was for the side to fly to Auckland on Saturday before catching a flight to Christchurch.
This would mean the Magpies would stay in Christchurch on the night before Sunday's 2.35pm semifinal against Otago at Forsyth Barr Stadium. It would also mean a 7.05am flight from Christchurch to Dunedin on game day.
After the game the Magpies would bus back to Christchurch, stay there another night and then fly back to Napier on Monday through Auckland.
"If we went with this option we would have to organise a pre-game feed in Dunedin and then kill a bit of time. We have to try and avoid the bus trip back to Christchurch after the game," Weber said.
"We have to plan as if we are going to win on Sunday and then have the best possible buildup for the following Friday night final. Hopefully we can get a charter flight out of Dunedin on the Sunday night after the game back to Napier which will be more suitable with the short turnaround ... particularly if we end up having to fly to Nelson on the Thursday," Weber explained, referring to a possible final against top qualifiers Tasman who host Southland in the other Championship semifinal on Saturday.
The Magpies' likely chaotic travel plans are a result of the All Blacks' Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies in Dunedin on Saturday night. This match has attracted a sellout crowd of almost 30,000 which means there is no accommodation available in Dunedin on Saturday night to cater for the Magpies' travelling party of 30.
"We could not have got the worst venue at the worst time. Under normal circumstances the Forsyth Barr Stadium would be the best venue to have outside of McLean Park," Weber said.
"Another of our options involves splitting the team up for flights and we don't really want that either," Weber added.
Regardless of how the team travels south at the weekend it will be the Magpies' second visit to Dunedin in six weeks. On their previous visit they returned home with the Ranfurly Shield after a 20-19 victory against the Razorbacks.
This fact alone means the Magpies shouldn't be short of confidence when they arrive in Dunedin on Sunday. There was significant Magpies support on that occasion.
It will be interesting to see how many Magpies supporters, apart from Dunedin-based university students, can make a trip south to support the Magpies. Like the team, supporters are unlikely to have an easy route south.
It's situations like this which should only make the Magpies more determined to win and Magpies supporters more determined to get to Forsyth Barr Stadium and drown out their Otago counterparts. As Hawke's Bay Rugby Union commercial manager Jay Campbell said at the weekend ... there is still a chance of the Magpies hosting the final at McLean Park on October 25.
For this to happen the Magpies must win on Sunday and Southland must beat Tasman on Saturday. The topsy turvy nature of the ITM Cup this season has proven the unexpected can never be discounted.
After all few pundits, outside of the Bay, tipped the Magpies to beat Wellington last week and even less predicted the Razorbacks' win against Auckland on Sunday.
While the Magpies' travel plans were yesterday still "up in the air", if you'll excuse the pun, the news was much brighter on the injury front. Midfield back Andrew Horrell's leg injury was the only concern after last week's 35-24 win against Wellington in Napier.
However Magpies physio Mark Nicol said yesterday he was confident Horrell will be declared fit to play come match day.
"We've wrapped him in cotton wool for a couple of days. But the chances of him playing are pretty good ... those South Island boys are pretty tough."

Marina Erakovic tasted victory once again at the French Open after she advanced to the third round of the doubles overnight.
The New Zealand number one and her playing partner Cara Black of Zimbabwe eased by the second round with a 6-3, 6-4 win over ninth seeds Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany and Kveta Peschke of the Czech Republic.
Erakovic and Black will next face two Grand Slam singles champions in Italy's Francesca Schiavone and Australian Samantha Stosur for a place in the quarter-finals.
It is the first time in her career that the New Zealander has progressed into the third round of the doubles in Paris, a feat she also first achieved in the singles this year.
Erakovic will be looking to go one better than she did in the singles after she was defeated in the third round by Sloane Stephens on Sunday night.
She was fined for court side coaching in that match, copping the biggest fine handed out at the tournament so far - US$5000 - after receiving a code violation and deducted a point. The chair umpire had warned Erakovic for receiving coaching, which isn't allowed at grand slam tournaments.

At the highest point we reached the border with Argentina and went through customs with no problems. On the Argentine side there is a bunch of small shops. We had hardly any money, we didn't get a chance to get any out in our rush to get the bus, so we were rather limited in what we could buy. Limited being that we could buy nothing. However, a nice old man in one of the shops gave us a bottle of water with one third of the price. The smell of the burgers cooking on the barbie was a little hard to take...I was starving!!
We performed our usual trick of not booking anywhere to stay before we got there and ended up getting the busy tour office in the bis station to get us (as well as 2 other Irish blokes and a 74 year old American) the last few beds in the town. Don't know why it was so busy, but it was. The hostel was brutal, but a bed none the less, so we spent as little time as possible there. As soon as we got there we just threw the nags into the room and ran out for a bite to eat, the lot of us together. The first steak house we came across was good enough, and still jammed at 12 midnight. Steaks were ordered all around.
Now, I'm not sure if you have heard about how amazing the steak in Argentina is meant to be. They say it is the best in the world. Well let me tell you here and now - its even better than that!! It is without doubt the best steak I have ever tasted, (and it only got better as we travelled throughout Argentina). Beautiful. In fact (and this is not a lie) one of the Irish guys who we met, Pat from Scartaglin in Kerry, was vegetarian for 2 years before he sat down at the table next to us. He could not resist having some. And he loved it. (actually, THE best steak I had was in a restaurant called Facundo in Mendoza. Fantastic. I can still taste it now...)
So what did we get up to in Mendoza? Well, its a very chilled out place. We spent a lot of time wandering round the town, stopping here and there for tea and cake (there are some great cake shops), sipping wine on the walking street, browsing through the markets and on our third night we changed to a different and nicer hostel who were able to organise a day of horse trekking (called cabalgatas over here) way up the the andes. It was great fun and beautiful up there too. We even had a lovely barbie in the back garden of a beautiful house after we were done (with some wine of course). We went on another wine tour. Mendoza is the wine capital of Argentina. There were 2 wineries and an olive oil factory on this tour, but some tours take you on a bike tour, which we didn't get a chance to do.
One other thing I did get a chance to do (while Aishling went shopping) was some white water rafting and river boarding. The rafting was cool and we sped down some river I don't know the name of and bashed through some massive rapids, getting tossed into the freezing cold water and trying to throw everyone else in at the same time. Straight after the rafteing I did some river boarding, which basically entails me lying on board with the sides curled up and with my legs dangling out the back with flippers on to steer myself down the same rapids i just did in the raft!! Sounds dangerous (and was) but it was probably one of the best outdoor things I have ever done. It was such a rush and a laugh at the same time.
Next stop Buenos Aires...

England bowler is reaping benefits after initial reluctance to change technique.
The long and the short of it is England fast bowler Steven Finn has cut the length of his run-up because he believes it will be beneficial.
Finn's new run-up made its debut during the one-day series against New Zealand and he plans to continue with it during the test series, which opens in Dunedin tomorrow.
It is only a difference of 5m or so and it is not like it has not been done before. Sir Richard Hadlee slashed the length of his run-up without losing any of his vigour through the crease.
But for a fast bowler to suddenly make changes to his run-up is a big step and the tall Finn was a little uneasy when it was first suggested.
The fact he kept crashing into the stumps during his delivery stride helped him decide to take the idea a little bit more seriously.
"It took me three years to agree to do it, I suppose," Finn said. "It is something I think...
will help me be more consistent, help me get more bounce and help me bowl for longer.
"It is something I've toyed with doing and I've used it [in] the nets and I haven't had the confidence to use it in a game. But the day before the Napier one-day game I was in the nets and I said to Sakes [England bowling coach David Saker] I'm going to do it tomorrow. He was a bit [taken] aback... and thankfully it worked.
"I still mark both run-ups out just in case but the short run-up seems to be working okay at the moment."
Finn was initially worried reducing his run-up from about 25m to just under 20m might have an impact on his pace or he might be at more risk of injury by trying to be too explosive through the crease.
"In reality it is more about the momentum I can gain towards the crease off the shorter run-up [which] is greater than off the longer run-up, because the temptation is to decelerate at the end of the longer run-up.
"I get better acceleration through the crease. It helps me go straighter through the crease, stand up taller and hopefully be more consistent, get more bounce and maintain my pace for longer periods."
Finn believes he is getting on top of his so-called "flying knee", when he hits the stumps with his leg while delivering the ball.
It happened once in both the ODI and T20 series on the ANZ international series tour. But it came to wider attention during England's home series against South Africa, where it was a persistent problem.
The MCC Committee has rubber-stamped law changes, effective in October, which will see a delivery no-balled if the bowler disturbs the stumps while in his delivery stride.
"Hopefully, it won't happen again. It hasn't happened in training... and it is important that off the shorter run I do maintain the pace because I think it is the deceleration which makes me get that close to the stumps."

Team preview: McNeese State
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Updated: November 6, 2003, 10:56 AM ETBlue Ribbon Yearbook
Editor's Note: Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, long known as the Bible of college basketball, to provide a comprehensive look at all 327 Division I teams.
McNeese State enters this season looking to return to the postseason for the third time in four years.
Last season, the Cowboys struggled with chemistry problems and injuries before coming on strong at the end to notch the program's third consecutive winning season. But a hard-fought 64-58 loss to eventual champion Sam Houston State in a Southland Tournament semifinal sent them home earlier than they had been accustomed.

Boomers aim for Aussie double
The Australian men's basketball team has the chance to emulate its female compatriots today and claim gold against New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games.
Last night the Opals made history by claiming their first international gold medal with a 77-39 triumph over the Tall Ferns.
Lauren Jackson capped a sensational fortnight with 23 points and 11 boards against the Kiwis, backed up by Belinda Snell's 10-point haul, including 2-of-4 from three-point range.
An emotional Jackson, 24, who can already boast two Olympic silver medals and a WNBA championship, put it at the top of her career achievements.
"It would probably be number one on my list of things," she said.
"We've been able to play in front of a home crowd, which I wasn't sure I'd be able to do again after the 2000 Olympics.
"I got to play in front of my family and my friends."
The Opals breezed through the tournament and had few troubles in the gold medal match, restricting New Zealand to 24 per cent shooting after a superb defensive display.
But, despite their raging favouritism, Jackson said the Opals still had some concerns about finishing the job.
"It was a very nervy day for everyone today," she said.
"It just shows how much we respect New Zealand and that was just awesome."

In the last few years, the need to design new cryptographic hash functions has led to the intense study of when desired hash multi-properties are preserved or assured under compositions and domain extensions. In this area, it is important to identify the exact notions and provide often complex proofs of the resulting properties. Getting this analysis right (as part of provable security studies) is, in fact, analogous to cryptanalysis. We note that it is important and quite subtle to get indeed the "right" notions and properties, and "right" proofs in this relatively young area. Specifically, the security notion we deal with is "adaptive preimage resistance" (APR) which was introduced by Lee and Park in [5] as an extension of "preimage resistance" (PR). In Eurocrypt 2010, in turn, Lee and Steinberger [6] already used the APR security notion to prove "preimage awareness" and "indifferentiable security" of their new double-piped mode of operation. They claimed that if HP is collision-resistant and APR, then F(M) = R(HP (M)) is indifferentiable from a variable output length (VIL) random oracle F, where HP is a function based on an ideal primitive P and R is a fixed input length (FIL) random oracle. However, as we show in the current work, the above statement is not correct. First in our studies, we give a counterexample to the above. Secondly, we describe a new requirement on HP (called "admissibility") so that the above statement is correct. Thirdly, we show that APR is, in fact, not a strengthened notion of preimage resistance (PR). Fourthly, we explain the relation between preimage awareness and CR+APR+(our new requirement). Finally, we show that a polynomial-based mode of operation [6] satisfies our new requirement; namely, the polynomial-based mode of operation with fixed-input-length random oracles is indifferentiable from a variable-input-length random oracle (as originally claimed, but based on the refined arguments and subtleties presented here).

I did not meet Indra but she was very friendly & helpful when we communicated via email . The flat looks exactly like the pictures so we were not disappointed ! we really loved the decoration... It is located in a nice area & it is quite easy to get to the centre from there . Excellent
Indra's place was absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful time in her perfect flat which was clean and comfy and not far from the center ! Thanks again !
We had a great time staying in this apartment. It was warm and comfortable and very convenient for the shops and tram. On our next trip we would certainly consider staying here again.
Although we didn't meet Indra, she arranged for the keys to be collected at the local bar and this worked well. The location of the apartment was excellent especially for the main museums . The apartment had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The only addition I think is worth considering is perhaps a name plate on Indra's front door .....we walked into the adjacent apartment and surprised the neighbour who was having a shower .
Best wishes, Keith and Hilary.
Hi Indra
We had a lovely time in Amsterdam the apartment was close to all the amenities and close to town and was really easy to get to, we arrived early and dropped our bags off and headed in to town and didn't get back til late, up early and the same again the next day. We will be definitely coming back in the future as we didn't get to see and experience the atmosphere. Thanks for all your help
Will & Lyndsey
This was our second stay at Indra's lovely apartment and I cannot fault it one bit. The apartment is in such an ideal location - close enough to walk to the tourist attractions but far enough to find peace and quiet when sitting inside the apartment.
We had everything we required and Indra was always the most helpful before and during our stay, providing ideas of places to eat and things to see etc. I would recommend this apartment to anybody as you really do feel at home.
I know this will not be our last trip to Amsterdam as we still have so much to see - I can only hope that when we return, Indra will still be renting her apartment out.
Thank-you for a great stay as always :)
