Food Prices are Rising Across the Globe. Are You Prepared?
The price of food rose again in September. At this time, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) estimates that prices are up 10 percent year on year. The rise on August alone was 2.9 percent. While the outlook suggests the food market will be stable, it is important to be prepared to adjust to fluctuating prices.
Most of September's rise is attributed to a shift in the price of one of the commodities they track; sugar. Other commodities included in the analysis include items like meat, dairy, cereal and vegetable oils. The products are designed to represent the food market as a whole. In the month of August, the price of meat, dairy and vegetable oil increased, but sugar made the most notable jump at 6.7 percent.
What This Means for Consumers
Food makes up a large portion of most household budgets. Some estimates suggest families spend between 15 and 20 percent of their budgets on groceries and dining out. If prices continue to rise, food budgets will take up a larger portion of monthly salaries. This means that there will be less available for other expenses. In cases where money is tight, these small shifts can have dramatic results.
When prices right in certain commodities, like sugar, a range of products increase along the way. Sugar is in a large number of processed food products, such as breads and sauces. That means the costs of those items may rise as their cost of production goes up.
How to Manage the Shifts in Food Prices
Households with fewer debt obligations often weather these changes easier than those currently stretched to the limit. However, even if your budget doesn't have a lot of space, that doesn't mean you can't make small changes to offset the shifts. One of the easiest changes is to stop dining out, or at least doing it less often.
You can also reduce your spending by going to the grocery store less often. When people shop, they often spend more than they originally intended. By making fewer trips, you lessen the number of unnecessary purchases you make. Following a shopping list can also help, as long as you don't purchase anything unplanned. Meal planning can also make things easier to manage.
If you want to make the foods you enjoy more affordable, consider adding certain low-cost staples to expand them. For example, rice or pasta, beans, and potatoes compliment a wide variety of meals. This means you can still use higher quality ingredients, but in smaller quantities.
Planning for the Long-Term
To position yourself more favourably in the future, work on lowering your debt obligations. By having less money being directed towards those expenses, you can create more room to adjust to changing prices. If your debt is under control, make an effort to add to your savings. That can provide a cushion to help you make it through challenging times without having to sacrifice to the point of discomfort.
Most people understand that prices are more likely to rise over the long-term than fall. By planning for these changes, you can make them easier to manage. If you expect your food budget to increase, and plan accordingly, then you will have what you need available when you need it. If prices don't rise, or don't rise as much as you planned for, you will have extra money available for other costs or savings.
Either way, by anticipating costs to rise, you will be in a better position regardless of what actually happens. While it can feel a bit pessimistic, you'll be thankful you planned for the worst if it does happen, and relieve if it doesn't.

The Brilliant Janet Folkes
Janet was an engineering lecturer at the University of Nottingham
Her successful career included work with lasers and a high-powered waterjet.
I first met met Janet through this scientific work, but spent far more time with her making films about hot air balloons.
Flying was Janet's great passion - especially in balloons - and she still holds numerous world records in them.
I was lucky enough to share just a few fragments of these adventures (usually from the ground)... and spent many hours hearing tales about the other ones.
Some films about Janet's adventures can be found below.
Janet was a brilliant woman - generous, genuine and brilliantly understated.
My wife and I joined her in Switzerland for a remarkable ballooning festival and the maiden flight of the University of Nottingham hot air balloon.
The trip remains one of our fondest memories.
Janet also "donated" numerous flights for charity, including one with my brother-in-law which we followed as ground crew.
It was another great day made possible by Janet.
I imagine there are hundreds of other people whose "brilliant days" had Janet working the burner!
It's sad that she's gone, but we've been left with many great memories. It's just a bit hard to smile about them today.

A lovely selection of memories of a very special personReplyDelete
I knew her name before meeting her.....ReplyDelete
Though we did not work in the same group, I remember she told me her experience in Japan (also a place I like)!
For some reasons, I have different memories of her but now she leaves me only beautiful memories.......
She told me she had the Japanese biscuits I bought for her breakfast!
She told me how she developed her research interests!
She told me why she needed to live with her mom!
She showed me how elegant she was in the banquet!
She showed me how friendly she was with her colleagues and students!
She is elegant, brave and adventurous. I believe we will remember her nice moments at UoN.
Generous, genuine and brilliantly understated described her very well.ReplyDelete
I was lucky to have the opportunity crewing & flying with her on a couple of occasions and I still remember her story on why she chose ballooning. She was one of the lucky ones to find her passion (majority of people do not know what their true passion is) & along the way broke world records! I'm sure she's resting in peace knowing she has touched many hearts and she's a true inspiration!

Thank you Brady. Janet was a great friend and will be missed immensely.ReplyDelete
Indeed a great Web page to remember our dearest Janet by. Janet was a kind, thoughtful, considerate and experienced balloonist and friend. Janet has touched many many people and made the world a better place. She certainly helped me and many other students at Loughborough Uni achieve pilot status.ReplyDelete
May Janet fly so high and so well and join God in her laughter... rest in peace Janet.ReplyDelete
We will truly miss her. She contributed so much to all those around her. I began my career because of her. Be Blessed Janet....ReplyDelete
She was my personal tutor during MSc. studies, as well as supervisor one of my projects. I will remember her as a very helpful, approachable person with exceptional passion for everything she was doing. Thank You Janet and rest in peace. Now you will be flying higher than ever before.ReplyDelete
Thank you for posting this great collection Brady. I finally learned of Janet's passing today, almost exactly 2 years ago. I knew she was sick and feared she'd gone. It's great to see all these memories. I knew her 1986-88 primarily, where we started the Loughborough University hot air balloon club with intrepid colleagues. She was just as "generous, genuine and brilliantly understated" back then - perfect description. I am so glad to have met her and shared that time. What an exceptional human being!ReplyDelete

What the Android 4.4.1 update means for Google's Nexus 5 shooters
1 Android 4.4.1 software update changes
|2 Next
Google's Nexus 5 marks a substantial advance in the frequently maligned imaging capabilities of the Nexus smartphone line. The camera's optical image stabilization combines with its decent 8-megapixel sensor to deliver images that, while not class-leading, are certainly competitive.
However, in our review we found that the Nexus 5's camera performance was undermined by speed issues: the camera app was slow to start up, exhibited frustrating shutter lag and felt pokey when focusing. Soon after the phone started shipping Google said it would address these issues, and it has delivered on its promise with the Android 4.4.1 update that's been rolling out to Nexus devices since Friday. (Another update, Android 4.2.2, is already on the move as well, though it comes without the same sort of significant effects.)
We've put the refreshed Nexus 5 through its photographic paces and found that while the camera is indeed more responsive, Google also made other changes that may please some users but irritate others.
Need for speed
The update's speed improvement is substantial. It doesn't necessarily make the Nexus 5 blaze, but if the phone had shipped like this we wouldn't have been scratching our heads so much about its stumbling pace in use.
Most importantly, shutter lag is significantly reduced: it's still there, maybe a few tenths of a second, but there's no longer the half-second pause that transported you back to the early days of digital photography. This means that if you lock focus, you're more likely to catch those fast moving kid and pet moments than before.
Start-up speeds have been cut in half. Tapping the icon gets you ready to shoot in around half-a-second. More importantly, launching the camera from the lock screen shortcut now takes around a second and a half, a rather than the three or more seconds you'd spend watching the black screen before the update. It's still longer than ideal, but you no longer start wondering if the camera app has crashed.
Focus definitely feels snappier. It wasn't terribly slow before, but there's now a welcome responsiveness that was missing. In low light, focus might be a little more confident, but it still misses the mark more than a lot of the competition.
Shot-to-shot time remains unchanged at around half-a-second, and there's still no burst mode.
New exposure priorities
Google has altered the camera's exposure algorithms to prioritize higher shutter speeds over lower sensitivities. This is a strategic shift rather than an "improvement," and how you feel about it will depend on the kinds of subjects you shoot the most.
As we noted in our full review, the Nexus 5 leaned hard on its optical image stabilization system in low light, using shutter speeds that would lead to shake-induced blur without OIS (as low as 1/6 sec). This worked well with static subjects, with low ISOs translating into plenty of detail and relatively low noise. However, small amounts of subject movement at those shutter speeds causes motion blur. That's a problem because people tend to move around, and a lot of camera phone shooters take photos of people.
With the 4.4.1 update, the Nexus 5 aggressively pushes ISOs up to maintain higher shutter speeds. This makes the camera better at capturing low-light candids, since the lack of detail that comes with higher ISOs looks better than catastrophic motion blur.
This is a better strategy for scenes with subjects that might move, but it can backfire when capturing static scenes.
This new exposure policy means that the Nexus 5's HDR+ mode is more useful than ever. Faced with a low-light, high-contrast, static scene, HDR+ really shines compared to the normal mode.
Considering the subjects most people shoot with their phones, the new exposure logic probably delivers the greatest good to the greatest number. However, it penalizes static scenes in low light. On most Android phones, this wouldn't be a big deal because you could always force shutter speeds down when appropriate by choosing a low ISO. However, for reasons best known to Google, manual ISO control remains absent on the Nexus 5, so you're stuck with whatever the camera wants to do. So far, third-party developers appear unable to implement manual ISO control on the Nexus 5, though that should change when Google delivers its next generation camera API.
Additional changes
There are a few other minor changes in the update. The HDR+ mode now has a progress bar, so you have something to watch for the brief second and a half the phone takes to process an image. You can also digitally zoom in HDR+ mode, something we hadn't missed when you couldn't, but hey. Despite these minor improvements, there's still an oddly long pause when toggling the HDR+ mode.
For detail sticklers, the aperture is now properly recorded in the EXIF data (though it still shows up wrong in the "Details" menu of the Gallery).
The more irksome user interface elements of the camera app have, unfortunately, been left as-is. So you still only see a cropped preview of the final photograph. The menu system is unimproved. There's still no manual ISO control.
Finally, the Nexus 5 continues to occasionally choose a much higher shutter speed than needed, usually around 1/120 sec.
This was the best analysis of the camera of the Nexus 5. In other reviews they seemed not to be aware that the problems were caused by the shutter speed and the ISO.
You did not comment on the option "picture quality". There are 9 choices like Jpeg 50%, Normal, Fine, Super Fine, producing files of 400 to >3000 KB. Normal seems to be the same as Jpeg 75%. Strangely the big and small files look almost the same (in 100 % cropping).
The ISOs higher than 200 get rather grainy. But there is one way out. If you choose "Steady Photo" in the scenes mode the camera will choose an ISO around 400 with a shutter speed around 1/10. However all (!) the scenes modes (like landscape and fireworks) force an automatic flash if it is dark enough. A simple solution for Google might be if they offer scene modes ISO 100, ISO 200 etc. If only Google would read this. By the way I use a CyanogenMod, so not sure if the stock 4.4.2 offers the same scene modes.
A great phone but an ordinary camera in terms of IQ. I like the photomerge and very usable panorama mode. Rest is average. HDR from Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5s are much better. Review correctly pointed out about the faster shutter speed but higher ISO (noise). Now all the hopes rest on the RAW shooting rumors.
No offense, but it's really not fair to compare this to a full fledged camera, I mean, it is a Smartphone. I have the Nexus 5, I love it, I also have a Fujifilm X-A1, which I also love, I don't expect my Nexus 5 to match a DSLR, Mirrorless or any other camera, it does what it does fine, and that's good enough for me. If you are expecting your smartphone to be your main camera, you will always be disappointed.
Every time I read Nexus articles I feel a little sad.
I like the design, style and price of the Nexus phones and generally like Google but the lack of microSD precludes me from ever buying these phones.
For photography 32Gb is OK but people like me also use a smartphone for music and perhaps video. Syncing is so passé as you often don't have the music you want when you want it, and it is a PITA. On-line services are not even close to being there yet ( but may be eventually).
If the 64GB models were widely available and not outrageously priced I might live with no microSD, but nothing can really compete with a 32Gb Sam S3 or S4 with a 64Gb microSD card if you actually use your phone as both a camera music player and have a moderately sized collection.
PS I use Dropbox and Google on-line services and they are in no way replacements for local storage, especially for music.
Well Google Music lets you easily and seamlessly move music from the cloud to your phone and back again. But I guess some people feel the need to carry their entire music catalog with them in the event the internet collapses.
As for the desire to carry around 64GB worth of cell phone pictures - hey, whatever floats your boat, but really, think about it - 16GB will hold at least over 5000 8MP photos. That is a lot of photos to share at the family reunion. Could be days before everyone gets through them all.
Oh well... like you said, syncing is passe. Carrying 30GB of music and another 20GB of photos everywhere you go is what the kids are into these days, daddy-o!
It's not just photos and music. I watch a number of podcasts in video form, a 30 minute show can take up to 1 GB of space....or I record video of my kids and that takes up a lot of space. I agree that without an SD slot its hard for me to justify a Nexus device.
1. You're assuming that you'll only have photos on your cellphone. In real life you'll need as much memory as you can for photos, documents, videos/movies (yes, I've watched them also on a cell phone).
2. You're assuming perfect internet coverage at all times (which is something everyone who tries to sell you the cloud always takes for granted).
Sadly it's not always the case.
Plus I don't want Google to know that much about me.
3. Even if you don't need the memory for videos and photos, you'll need it for the apps.
Just think about it: if you want (perish the thought!) to install a videogame for the occasional R&R break that could easily set you back 1GB.
Put a couple of readers, a couple of dictionaries, an office app, a couple of photos app, unit converters, scientific calculators and such on top of that and you're done.
So, yeah, Sirandar is totally right!
Of photos, documents, and videos, I only think videos consume space in the gigabytes unless your photo library really needs offloading to a laptop. Apps can consume this kind of space too, but usually apps are much smaller.
So in essence I think 32-64 GB phones is most useful to two kinds of users: 1) those every now and then wanting to watch video when offline, and 2) those who carry very large "old school" music libraries like when mp3's were the rage. (You don't even need to rely on Google etc. for cloud storage; just buy a NAS and be the cloud? A bonus is WiFi backups for your laptop and a media center.)
While I do agree that these users exist, I have also no trouble seeing that this could start becoming a smaller target for mobile manufacturers.
I really can't understand how anyone can be satisfied with the On-line services like Google. I tried them and they are not even close to the convenience of having MP3s on a microSD card.
With on-line services your MP3s are not cataloged properly so you can't find what you want to play easily and when you do you have to wait to download it.
The ITune Match service brought my Internet connection to its knees for 1 week and never finished uploading .... I had to terminate it.
You can buy a storage manager app (no root hack required) and attach any USB storage you like via a USB adapter. Advantage is a I can share this across multiple devices and store as much as I like on regular USB flash memory (dirt cheap) or even portable hard drives.
Certainly a better option for movies given that micro SD are not all that big anyway, and makes life easier when you upgrade your phone.
@dpmaxwell does being a condescending smart ass float YOUR boat? "Some people" enjoy offline flexibility and reliability which happens to be the opposite of your needs. Those people are obviously deluded, inferior senior citizens according to you. What a strange planet you come from mate.
Yes, this is precisely the reason I still cling on to my Nokia 808 PureView. With a 64GB card (80GB storage total), combined with the fact that photos & videos have much less noise & are thus more compressible (smaller file sizes compared with other camera phones), plus the (aging) "Nokia Multimedia Sync" application to synchronize with my Mac (music/video with iTunes, photos/video to iPhoto) makes it much easier to live "off the cloud" so to speak. There is STILL no equivalent sync solution for Android <-> Mac! (Some vendors, like HTC and Sony, have made very buggy and half-hearted attempts, but in no way fills the void).
Add the best-in-class camera, micro-HDMI output, some best-in-class applications from Nokia (Nokia Maps > Google Maps, Internet Radio > TuneIn, Wellness Diary > Accupedo, etc), and despite its aging "ecosystem"/app selection, I think I'll be bringing that phone with me to the grave...
What's this.. an article which is not about iPhone, iPad or any other iThingy. It feels weird but in a good way to finally read something Android related on this site. :)
I just installed 4.4.2 this morning. I've been messing around with it a bit on my office. Some quick observations:
1) Startup is quite quick. Matches my Canon 600D anyway.
1) Focus is quite quick imo. I love the touch focus point feature.
2) AWB seems to be best. I tried fluorescent, which is my office lighting and it warmed it up too much.
3) Pictures definitely have more contrast now (almost too much) and are more saturated. This matches what I've read on the web about this update.
For what I want out of a camera phone I think I'll be quite happy with this. For "keeper" images I'll play with Snapseed or VSCO camera anyway. Looking forward to RAW ability with Lightroom if it's on the horizon.
No, I just can't get on with this camera update. Certainly the speeded up focus lock and reduced shutter lag are very welcome and great improvements. Low light picture taking however..... I have just tried some shots in the house with autofocus white balance and then the same shot with HDR+. I am disappointed. There are light sand colored walls, white paint woodwork, rich deep honey floorboards. The incandescent setting doesn't help. Auto white balance is possibly the best option but gives the walls a decidedly greenish tinge albeit a much better focussed image than before. Where HDR+ would have done a passable treatment of the same scene before, it now 'cleans' the image so that the warmth is entirely lacking in the rendition of the walls, and the floorboards do not look so rich in colour as they are. The walls become almost white. I am sad that the HDR+ option, pretty good before I felt for low light and internal incandescent lit scenes, does not now perform as well overall. The images are all and now and still on the cool side. I tested HDR+ earlier today on a sunlit/shaded scene internally and the results did not produce as true colours as a similar scene I shot a week ago. A coffee brown interwoven with gold cushion looked almost grey. The colour had been taken out of it. This similar shot of a week ago I was really pleased with and had thought was excellent. I am really disappointed. I wish the HDR+ option could be restored to its performance value pre -update.
ISO vs shutter speed - why the cameras cannot just detect subject motion (or lack of it) and set shutter speed appropriately?
Even if a camera could do that (which some may already be capable of?), what shutter value should it pick? The speed of motion difference between an elderly person and a football player is great. 125/sec might be fine for some, but 500/sec might not be enough for other situations.
Meh, I'll wait to see how the Nexus 5's RAW files look before considering picking one up. Hurry up, Google!
pictures look horrible at thumbnail size and atrocious in original resolution. why bother. use a real camera.
Just for clarity, the 4.4.2 update is inclusive of the camera software update plus some other software/bug fixes. The change to the way the camera now performs is the same so the article is still valid. And I should have made clear, my comments below are in relation to low light, internal environment picture taking.
Article is a bit behind the times. My year old Nexus 7 updated to 4.4.2 a couple of days ago.
I don't entirely like the changes of the new update. I find shots now have a tendency to over expose, due no doubt to the higher ISO settings which we have no control over. I am now almost permanently setting the exposure level down by one and even sometimes, by 2 levels. I seem to get a more accurate colour reproduction this way. The HDR+ function, which I found really helpful prior to the update, now also I feel over exposes and, of course, this is a setting that can't be manually adjusted. Contrary to other views expressed, for me this deteriorates contrast rather than enhances it. There is better saturation of colour which was a little lacking before. Please allow us control over the ISO setting - I miss the wonderful detail of shots for static scenes prior to the update. Then we would all be happy!
Surely we just need a "movement / still life" button, which switches between prioritising high shutter speed or low ISO? While very few people want to shoot their phone camera on full manual, if they care at all about the quality of their photos, they should be able to manage a simple toggle button.
Sometimes I wonder if all modern software is designed by idiots. This stuff isn't rocket science.
I am not at all happy with this update. I do appreciate why they decided to change ISO over shutter speed, but would it have been so hard to let the user decide? Changing ISO isn't too advanced an option for a device that claims to offer a step ahead photography-wise.
And now that they finally did put in a 16:9 option (why not from the start??), they have just one at it is 2 MP. What were they thinking?
OS offers really cool possibilities for photography, the new update takes some of them away, that's not a smart move IMHO.
They can't provide much without breaking the compatiblity.
The camera API of Android is incredibly simplistic. I've looked at it and all it provides is a mix of assorted Auto modes. No direct control over aperture, shutter, ISO, WB or metering whatsoever.
Thanks! Now, this phone has become a worthy alternative to other Android handsets.
hmm, I am not sure about that. The inability to manually select ISO sensitivity means, even if the subject is static, there will be no option to slow the shutter down in favor of a lower ISO.
Oops, I stand corrected (I thought the camera app of the N5 is based on the stock Android camera app, which does have ISO setting capabilities). The article also mentions this:
"On most Android phones, this wouldn't be a big deal because you could always force shutter speeds down when appropriate by choosing a low ISO. However, for reasons best known to Google, manual ISO control remains absent on the Nexus 5, so you're stuck with whatever the camera wants to do. So far, third-party developers appear unable to implement manual ISO control on the Nexus 5, though that should change when Google delivers its next generation camera API."
no probs, What handset are you using currently?
Also not sure why Nexus 5 would not support manual ISO control. I suspect they are trying to mimick iPhone with their simple interface.
On saying that though, the IOS 7 camera interface is not simple! The addition of being able to add real time instagram like filters and aspect ratios etc, makes the default camera app more complex. And whats more if you do not turn off the filters, they will remain on next time you use the camera which in the case of a non camera savey user, they will end up capturing shots which may have undesired effects added.
The 808 for the
- "static" shots
- video (stereo audio, much longer-reaching lossless zoom, much wider lens)
- Xenon shots
- or, generally, where I couldn't make both ends meet with the 5s' (particularly in video, considerably) narrower lens
- where manual settings are needed (as iOS is completely devoid of them - no manual WB / exp. comp / ISO)
- where a ND filter is needed
and the iPhone 5s for
- quick panoramas (nothing can beat its sweep pano mode!)
- action shots (where high FPS is needed)
I keep both phones on me all the time. (The 808 also doubles as my "true" phone, thanks to its features like call recording. The 5s, on the other hand, is my Internet device - something the 808 really sucks at.)
"As we noted in our full review, the Nexus 5 leaned hard on its optical image stabilization system in low light, using shutter speeds that would lead to shake-induced blur without OIS (as low as 1/6 sec). This worked well with static subjects, with low ISOs translating into plenty of detail and relatively low noise. However, small amounts of subject movement at those shutter speeds causes motion blur. ..."
Love this part of the article. OIS (optical stabilization) may be handy for low light low ISO shots, but if the subject moves no OIS can stabilize that and the only solution is high ISO performance. Lets hope more smart phone manufacturers puts more emphasis on high ISO performance.
Obviously I do not think manufacturers should omit OIS in favor of higher ISO performance, but rather work to perfecting both technologies, since OIS is indeed very handy for video capture and static subjects eg food.
"When it comes down to it OIS (optical stabilization) may be handy for low light low ISO shots, but if the subject moves no OIS can stabilize that and the only solution is high ISO performance. "
You can always use manual ISO - after all, this is Android (and not the, manual settings-wise, absolutely dumb iOS). Just set it to 100 or 200 (dunno if the N5 starts at 100 or 200) and you're set.
Sorry, I was wrong about the manual ISO - see my other comment.

** Federal Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains says he hopes Iran's growing appetite to purchase hundreds of civilian aircraft on the world market translates into an opportunity for Canadian aerospace, but the Justin Trudeau government hasn't said when or how Ottawa might roll back economic sanctions on Tehran to make this possible.

Fentimans to double turnover on european demand for botanical mixers – yahoo finance uk
The maker of traditional lemonade now sells into 64 countries
Fentimans, the botanical drinks business, will double turnover over the next
four years off the back of strong export sales, driven by demand from
mainland Europe and the US.
The family business, which was resurrected in 1995 by Eldon Robson, the great
grandson of founder Thomas Fentiman, 25 years after it was closed
exports to 64 countries across the world.
"We've invested almost £1m in new premises and production equipment over the
last two years," said Mr Robson, who makes the products in Hexham,
Northumberland. "Exports now account for 30pc of our business."
More than two-thirds of Fentimans' overseas sales are in Europe, with the bulk
of the remainder in the US, Japan, South America, Canada and Russia.
The company has franchised the business in the US, where products are
manufactured in Pennsylvania.
The company received an unexpected sales boost in the States back
in 2009, after a bottle of its Victorian Lemonade was confiscated from a
pupil in Maine because it contained 0.5pc alcohol. Enquiries from US
wholesalers across 30 states increased tenfold following the incident.
According to Mr Robson, two key trends will help the business hit £50m in
revenue within four years.
"The 'free-from' marketplace has now appeared, which our gluten-free alcoholic
ginger beer is perfect for," he said, referring to the new category of
products that are free from allergens such as wheat.
"Whole free-from aisles are appearing in supermarkets."
fastest-growing division of the business is Fentimans' mixers ; it
produces an all-natural tonic, diet tonic, rose lemonade and ginger ale,
with a new "floral" mixer planned for launch in 2016.
"Right now it's only 15pc of the business but with the premiumisation trend in
mixers, it could overtake the main business," Mr Robson claimed.
Fentimans is one of the stars of this year's Exporting is GREAT, a Government
initiative which aims to encourage more UK companies to trade overseas.
Exporting is GREAT, which begins today, aims to support 100,000 new UK
exporters to sell their goods and services overseas by 2020, doubling the
current number.
According to new research from Sage, the accounting software provider, 75pc of
small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are not currently selling overseas
and have no plans to.
The survey of 400 firms found that 7pc export to Europe alone, 16pc export
globally, but the rest do not export at all, or have any intention of
opening up international markets.
Just 2pc do not export now but have plans to.
Sage is partnering with the Government this Export Week on Exporting is GREAT,
part of the Government's GREAT campaign, in an attempt to encourage more of
its customers to become exporters.
"Exporting is a significant step on the journey one that many small and
medium businesses don't feel they have the support or knowledge to take,"
said Sage chief executive Stephen Kelly.
"Our customers tell us that awareness of the opportunities and more
government and industry support would help them make the move, so we are
thrilled to be supporting Exporting is GREAT."

Pursuing a career as a lawyer requires years of education and hard work. Before putting in the time and money to get you on the road to partnership, spend some time considering whether you really do want to be a lawyer. Assess your own skills, likes and dislikes, and spend some time exploring what the day-to-day life of a lawyer is really like. You may find that it's your calling, or you may discover that you'd rather do something else entirely.
Shadow a lawyer. Before you decide to pursue a legal career, it's a good idea to know what a lawyer actually does. Connect with a lawyer through friends, family or through mentorship programs available through your school. Ask the lawyer if you can spend some time watching him as he works. You may wish to shadow several lawyers, as every attorney will have a different working day depending on the king of law he practices. For example, a criminal defense attorney may spend most of his time in court defending clients. A corporate attorney may spend the majority of his time in meetings, negotiating contracts.
Research the legal job market. Like any profession, there are times when lawyers are in demand and times when they are not. Although the market may change between the time when you begin law school and when you finish, it is still good to know if you are likely to get a job when you graduate. Read trade publications and review job postings to get a sense of how much work is really out there. If you sense that you might not be able to get a job with a firm, speak to several sole practitioners to get a sense of whether practicing on your own is something you'll be able to do.
Discover your aptitudes and skills by taking a career assessment test or by speaking to an employment counselor. You may appreciate the work done by lawyers and want to be a part of it. However, your aptitudes -- tasks you will potentially be good at -- and skills -- what you already know how to do -- may not match the work lawyers do. You may discover that you are better suited to an alternative role in the justice community: for example, working with victims of crime or helping at-risk youths find a better life.
List what you want your lifestyle to be as you grow older. For example, ask yourself if you would like to have children and would like to take time off or work reduced hours to raise them. Ask yourself if salary is important to you, and research whether the legal career you are likely to obtain will actually give you the salary you need.
Note your own unique needs and decide whether a career as a lawyer can accommodate them. For example, if you are prone to migraine headaches, a career such as law, which requires you to do a lot of reading, may not be ideal for you. If you have to care for a dependent relative, assess whether it is likely you can take time off to do that. At the end of the day, try to envision yourself practicing law and ask yourself if it is a lifestyle that makes you happy.

text: Hey everyone I have fairly recently built myself a computer using the gigabyte GA EP43 DS3L motherboard. On the manufacturers website it says that this motherboard is Windows 7 ready and that it has an integrated realtek HD audio sound card. When I first set up the computer with windows 7 RC everything worked perfectly, although every now and then when I turned it on the sound icon in the system tray displayed the "no audio output device is installed", until eventually this became a permanent problem. First I tried resetting the BIOS and doing a disk format and clean install of windows 7, in order to try and get the whole system back to how it was when the sound worked. After trying this a few times I tried to find my sound card in "device manager", "system information" and "directx diagnostic tool", although none of them recognized it. There was not even the heading of "sound video and game controllers" in device manager. I then tried to manually add it by clicking "add legacy hardware" in device manager. Once I had added "realtek HD audio" under "sound video and game controllers" there was a small yellow exclamation mark next to it in device manager. The problem was reported as "the device cannot start (code 10)". This, I found out, was a driver error, and so I went onto the realtek website (from the link on the gigabyte motherboard website) and downloaded the realtek HD audio 2.34 driver, which is their newest and meant to support windows 7. After installing it and restarting the same icon was waiting for me in my system tray and the same error was waiting in device manager. However, the driver had definately installed as it had the right date of production in the driver properties. I have also tried installing the driver in safe mode and compatability mode, neither of which worked either. The Azalia codec in the BIOS is switched on and there is nothing else I can think of to fix or to return it to it's state when the audio was working. I am now at my wit's end and any suggestions at all on how I can finally get rid of that little red cross once and for all would be hugely helpful. Thanks very much for your time, Telstar

Sunny Creek Farm has no crops growing in the fields, no livestock and no barns; yet it produces food sold in groceries spread across seven Southeastern states. It's a sprout farm, growing only the first roots and leaves of food plants.
"Eating ounces of sprouts can be like eating pounds of vegetables, especially for the antioxidants in broccoli," said researchers at John Hopkins University.
In their report to the National Science Foundation, the experts said sulforaphane glucosinolate is 20 times more concentrated in three-day-old broccoli sprouts than in the mature plants. This natural compound, they said, helps the body's own systems in detoxifying cancer-causing substances before they can damage body cells.
Sprouts have been eaten for centuries, especially by Orientals. They are praised by nutritionists for their vitamin and mineral content, with few calories to cause weight problems. They are sold in the produce section of most supermarkets.
Sanitation is the key word at Sunny Creek Farm. Everyone in the processing area wears a lab coat and plastic hat. Hands are washed at the entrance. The equipment is made of stainless steel or plastic that can be washed frequently.
Bacteria are the enemy, so sprouts are stored at 36 degrees F.
Quality control is equally stressed. Both federal and state governments require detailed reports on each batch of product. The plant has a laboratory to test for toxic organisms, such as salmonella and E. coli.
The farm produces about 15,000 pounds of sprouts a week, requiring thousands of gallons of water. In processing, the water must be changed every two hours.
Sprouts start from seed that have been sanitized and soaked in water. After that, it's moisture and moderate temperatures that cause the seed to germinate and grow.
Sunny Creek Farm trucks deliver to customers three times per week. Some customers distribute farther with their own trucks.
The farm delivers its alfalfa, broccoli and mung bean sprouts, plus products grown by others. The menu includes water cress, arugala, ginger root, horse radish root, lettuce, tofu, mushrooms and sugar-snap peas.
"We'd like to have others growing organic crops to participate in our distribution," owner Lee Ewing said. "We supply a large market and there is a growing demand for good-quality organic foods."
The business was started in 1990 by Ewing, a 26-year-old who was working at the Pine Crest Inn in Tryon. He said the inn's chef complained a number of times about the poor quality of available sprouts. It turned on a light for Ewing, whose mother grew sprouts year-round in her California kitchen. He had worked at a sprout farm near Los Angeles and was familiar with the technology.
He obtained a $10,000 bank loan to start. He bought a parcel of land at the end of a gravel road in southern Polk County, built a 10-by-20 foot greenhouse and bought his first seed. Progress was slow, he said, but food stores were glad to have a new source of sprouts. Now the business employs 32 people and keeps three delivery trucks busy each day.
"It would probably take a half-million dollars to start this business today," Ewing said. "The Food and Drug Administration has stricter requirements, as does the state of North Carolina."
Will he expand? Yes, he said, but not with borrowed money. He said he wants to pay off more debt before enlarging the plant. An equity investor may be the answer, he said, but not immediately.

Prologue III: Bloodshed and DisasterMature
Mombasa, 24th of August 1845
Steel on steel rang through the streets, for once not originating in Molly's metal arm or side. Small mercies, she thought. She backed away from the scuffling twosome. She could send Honour in. Have her finish them quickly and for sure. But Molly knew well enough when to leave destiny to itself.
Besides, the city guards would soon descend, and she'd rather leave as few traces of herself and her companion as possible.
So the two half-living predators sprinted from the fiery mess and the bloody combat they had caused. Molly had stolen away from bloodshed and disaster before; what was one more time?
London, 25th of August 1845
Silus Splendid was enjoying his new view.
The dingy, but lavishly decorated, office overlooked the Thames, and the steamboats which docked there; such primitive-looking things next to the docks full of golden and brass airships, which not only exceeded them in speed and fuel efficiency, but which also transcended their size at least tenfold.
Sauntering away from the window, Silus slid into a sensuously fabricated armchair by the sizzling fireplace. Ah yes. It was, indeed, the life.
It had been difficult explaining to some of his clients how he had come to own such an office, considering the humble origins of his career. They were all familiar with the story of Bartholomew Meriwether's Golden Girl, but were less eager to believe that she had been eliminated. No bodies always meant no glory to the British.
Silus cradled a glass of sherry and grinned at their naivety, glimpsing over that morning's headlines once again. They didn't matter. Only one client mattered, and he had paid up already.
A knock disrupted his contented reflections, and he called for Penelope to come. She did. She wore a waist-clinching skirt made up of six overlapping layers of burgundy silk, and a cream blouse which did little to disguise her assets. Silus removed his monocle in order to allow himself a more thorough look.
"Mr. Splendid, a new client just arrived. Someone important, I think. I recognize his face, so I must have seen him in the papers or something." She spoke meekly, and Silus liked that.
"Lovely. Send him in, Penelope dear."
"Alright, sir." As she turned to leave, Silus leaned to the side to watch her backside sidle out the door. With a smirk, he read the headline one last time;
Ah yes. It was, indeed, a splendid life.

Not Every Social Media Manager Should Be Under 25...Seriously
I recently read a story about why every social media manager should be under 25 and had to take a look at myself. As someone who falls into the article's demographic I feel like I need to share my thoughts on why I don't think every person under 25 should be managing social media accounts, especially if they're fresh out of college.
I was 3 months removed from college before I started at First Scribe. I thought I knew something about social media because I had taken a whole semester long class plus been using the social media accounts for a few years.
FYI - it's no big deal if you can run a social media account; this isn't what employers are looking for. They want you to able to report why they're losing or gaining followers, what types of posts attract more engagement or which social media outlet provides the best ROI for their company.
Now, hindsight is always 20/20 in these kinds of situations so I'm sure Cathryn regrets what she said and I regret thinking I knew even the tiniest bit about being a social media manager.
So, recent graduates or about to graduate students, the real world is a lot different than you think. Go into a job with an open mind and a determination to learn as much as you can and as quickly as possible. Doing so will make your work experience a lot more enjoyable.

We're staying in Amsterdam, and we went into the city today. Everyone here speaks English but I guess they have to - I don't know anyone back home that speaks Dutch. There was a road with an intriguing sweet shop about halfway down it. Mum didn't want us to go there. She said the road led to the famous 'red-light' district, but Dad pointed out that it was three in the afternoon. Plus, apparently some of the most beautiful historical buildings are there; even if you want to stay right out of it you should visit them.
"Anyway," he said. "We're only going as far as the shop." So we got out way. Dad insisted on buying some Dutch liquorice - it was absolutely disgusting (even I thought so, and I like liquorice!)!! Only as we were leaving the shop did I see her. At first I thought it was an illusion; I blinked and pinched myself but it didn't go away.
It was a tiny window in the building opposite. Just for a second there was a face pressed against the dirty glass. It was bruised and pale, but I recognised Eleanor. My eyes widened in shock. I knew she'd seen me, too, because she gestured the floor in front of the building and used our old sign for 'this time tomorrow': a top of the wrist and then a tumble of hands to represent tomorrow. I nodded. Natalie, my sister, had seen her too.
"Isn't that Eleanor?" she said. Nat's only a year older than me and before all these problems we were as close as sisters get. She had all the luck: she's really pretty as well as super clever.
"Yeah," I said, my voice quiet and shaking with disbelief. Eleanor: the friend I've grown up with, shared everything with, is being forced - and by her face I was sure that it is forced - to work as a prostitute in Amsterdam, one of the few places where no one would really look twice! This is a case of trafficking now, I know. I remember an assembly given by someone in my year group two years ago.
"Trafficking is tricking or forcing someone to leave their home, and then moving them to another place within their town, country, or to another country; using them for forced labour, domestic servitude, sexual exploitation … " Like everyone else, I'd been shocked that slavery still existed, but it didn't seem to affect me. Now I realise: there is not one place where people can say 'trafficking does not happen here'. It has happened - in my south-east London town, the last place you'd expect it! And to my friend.

The closest tube stations are Tottenham Court Road, and Holborn, both are 5 mins walk away. The flat has broadband, and also has a washer, dryer.
The flat is right in the heart of London, so it is difficult to pick out any one place in particular that you must visit. But for eating out my favorite is Old Compton Street, one of the first places in London to start serving food late at night.
The British Museum is at the heart of Bloomsbury. Historically, Bloomsbury is associated with the arts, education and medicine so the area sets a sophisticated and modern atmosphere. The Bloomsbury theatre , a very respected theatre within the eyes of Londoners; is located within the area.
Locals to the area are spoil for choice with restaurants, bars and clubs being within feet of each other. The location is amazing!

poorly soundproofed but expedient. Good neighborly and very central!
Surface announced for the 21/5 room: 55 m2. In reality : less than 25 m2! The street is very noisy at night. Disappointing.
The apartment was fine and in a great location! Comfortable and spacious room as the kitchen. The toilet a little bit small.All was clean and tidy.
There is a good supermarket a few minutes walk,and pubs and restaurants around the corner. Underground (Central and Picadilly line) and bus services all nearby within walking distance.
I met Maggie only on the day i arrived.
It was a very good expirience. I recommended!
The apartment was fine. Large kitchen very well equipped. Bedroom with heating and large comfortable bed. Unfortunately no television.

We had a great time in London. Maggie was very friendly, we met her 3 times. The flat was perfectly located - only 5 minutes walk to the underground. We were even able to store our luggage, so that we could spend our last hours without having to carry around our luggage. We highly recommend Maggie's apartment.

Burnet County ESD No. 9 Makes Plans for an
Emergency Medical Services Station in Spicewood
Spicewood, Texas – (November 15, 2016) - It was just one year ago that Spicewood voters approved a 2% sales and use tax for Burnet County ESD No. 9 (ESD9) to raise additional funding for emergency medical services. Today, with those funds beginning to accumulate, ESD9 is actively exploring property near the Spicewood Elementary school to locate a new Emergency Medical Service (EMS) station.
"Today 80% of all calls received by the Spicewood VFD-EMS are medical in nature," explained Byron Zinn, President and Commissioner of ESD9. "And while the Spicewood VFD-EMS first responders are generally on site within 10 minutes of an emergency medical call, it still takes an average of 22 minutes for paramedics to arrive from Marble Falls. Our goal is to reduce that response time by 60%."
In exploring potential locations for the new EMS station, the ESD 9 taskforce identified several key criteria: proximity to residential areas, easy access to Hwy 71, and affordability. Last night the Marble Falls ISD School Board unanimously approved a resolution in support of donating approximately one acre of land beside the Spicewood Elementary School to facilitate the completion of an EMS station which will serve the health, welfare, and safety needs of the public. "We think this is not only the right thing to do for the community," announced Dr. Chris Allen, Superintendent of Marble Falls ISD, "but it will also provide an EMS station right next to Spicewood Elementary, which greatly benefits our staff and students."
Although still in the early stages, plans are for the building and the land to be owned by Burnet County ESD 9, with the station operated by Marble Falls Area EMS (MFAEMS). Under the new strategy, Spicewood VFD and the new EMS station would be dispatched simultaneously when a medical call is received. EMS First Responders, located throughout the community, will be equipped with emergency kits in their own vehicles with additional paramedic support and patient transport available from the new station. It's anticipated that the SVFD first responders, under the direction of SVFD EMS Director, Patsy Lester, will be on site in just a few minutes, with paramedic support just moments behind.
"We're excited to build on our already strong relationship with the Spicewood Community" commented Johnny Campbell, Executive Director, MFAEMS. "We've worked closely with Patsy and her team for years and operate under the same medical director. They have an extremely dedicated and experienced corps of EMS volunteers, and frankly, we couldn't do our jobs without them. They are able to resolve or stabilize most situations by the time we arrive on scene." Commissioner Zinn concurred, noting that "the EMS volunteers at SVFD have served this community for decades. Dean and Patsy Lester, and most of their family and friends, have grown the SVFD in to what it is today. The community owes them a great deal of gratitude."
Moving forward, the next steps are for ESD9 to complete the necessary engineering, architectural, and traffic flow studies. Assuming all goes well, the new station could be up and operational by the end of 2017.
About Burnet County ESD No. 9

The District has adopted as its mission statement: "Burnet County ESD 9 exists to promote the health, welfare and safety of residents and visitors to our District by providing highly effective and efficient fire and life safety services through prudent use of available resources."

About Marble Falls Area EMS
Marble Falls Area EMS is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation established in 1976 by a dedicated group of volunteers. Over the past twenty years, service has grown from a small volunteer service to a fully paid ambulance service that provides quality pre-hospital care to some 47,000 citizens in Southern Burnet and Southeastern Llano Counties. The MFAEMS service area spans over 350 square miles with many miles of lake and river shoreline which provides a unique call mixture of rescue/trauma and medical responses. MFAEMS is governed by a volunteer board of directors that meets on the third Wednesday of every month at their central station in Marble Falls, TX. For more information visit, www.marblefallsareaems.org
About Spicewood VFD-EMS, Inc
Spicewood VFD-‐‐EMS, Inc is a non profit Texas corporation qualified for tax-‐‐exempt status under Section 501(c) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code. The department has provided volunteer fire and emergency medical services to the Burnet County Spicewood community since its founding in 1976 and responds with trained volunteers to hundreds of calls each year for emergency services.

How much revenue has been raised by the sales and use tax?
Initial estimates were $200,000/year. We have yet to complete a full year of collections but that estimate appears to be fairly accurate.
How many EMS calls does the SVFD/EMS receive?
SVFD/EMS responds to an average of 25 calls/month. Roughly 80% of those calls, 20/month, are medical in nature, and of those, 60%, require ambulance transport. That translates to about 240 EMS calls and over 140 ambulance transports each year. As the population continues to grow, and as traffic along Highway 71 increases, those numbers will continue to increase.
How many first responders are there?
Currently there are 15 certified first responders. That number fluctuates because they are all volunteers. If anyone is interested in becoming a first responder. they should contact Patsy Lester.
What is the anticipated cost of building the station?
We have not yet secured proposals for building, but anticipate the cost to be in the $250,000 to $300,000 range plus any additional costs necessary for road easements to allow easy access in and out of the facility.
What is the anticipated annual cost of running the station?
According to MFAEMS, operational costs to provide 24 X7 paramedic service and ambulance transport is $500,000/year. Because this will be a satellite station for a service that already exists we expect to receive some significant economies of scale to reduce those costs.
How will the station be staffed?
Currently we are looking at utilizing MFAEMS paramedics on rotating shifts. Budget and funding will determine whether 24X7 service can be provided or if we initially begin by staffing the station at 12 hours/day.
What other locations did you look at beside the elementary school?
We have looked at several other sites, and those conversations are ongoing. Should we run into any unanticipated obstacles with the Spicewood Elementary School location, we will continue those discussions.
Who is building the new station?
Engineering work is being done by Willis Engineering from Marble Falls, and architectural designs are being done by Jackson Associates also from Marble Falls. In accordance with state law, we will go out to bid for the building construction. We do not anticipate entertaining bids until early 2017
