La Garoffa - Camping on the Beach
... beach too.
Didn't fancy the campsite dinner menu, even though it was dirt cheap, so we had another nice bbq along with all of our neighbours.
The €1 wine is going down well, we're not quite using it to clean our teeth with too, but it's definitely about as cheap as water.
On the bus to Almeria today for a wander round, which was quite exhausting by the time we'd climbed up the hills and steps to La Alcazaba, ...
Roquetas de Mar (contd)
... Spain ATM, they do not apply the handling fee. This means that, at the time of writing 200Euro costs you �164, instead of �168, a saving of �4.00.
Kathleen, needs to draw more Euro's, she has eventually spent those she obtained the year before last. Being prudent (well, she may read this), and knowing of my discovery, she decides, she must find a Santander ATM.
Roquetas de Mar (contd)
... so they can pop to the coast if the fancy takes them.
Anyway, having nothing else to do, I lend a hand, and the "old" caravan is soon moved off John's pitch, and the "new" one positioned ready for him to begin erecting awnings etc etc.
Wednesday 12th March 2014
The plan is to cycle to the "holiday village", just south of the Fort de Santa Anna, but, there is a ferocious wind, and clouds which definately look like rain clouds, (although in the end, it ...
Roquetas de Mar (Contd)
... to be a rather fine building, is, in fact a canvas cover, painted to look like a building, the actual building is in the process of being restored, behind the canvas cover, rather smart, I thought.
and, a trifle out of place, I thought, a Victorian style railway station!
Roquetas de Mar (Contd)
... The actual process goes remarkably well, and with hardly a cross word (well, I exaggerate, slightly).
I do end up, not having used all of the colouring solution. Why do they not make the container clear, instead of opaque, so you can see how much is being used?
Kathleen disappears off to the shower to wash off the surplus colour, apply conditioner, etc.

Chapter 01Mature
You too will be rolling over to the other side of your bed, hitting the alarm at 4:30 in the morning. The sun isn't up yet, but there's light from a random light in the house. I groan, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, cursing at this un-holy hour of the morning. I hate mornings, Mondays' especially. It also happens to be a Monday morning in the winter, which is even worse.
However, it has occurred to me that I'm not a normal teenager, and rightly so, the fact is correct. To classify me under a 'group', I'll be in 'Who do you think you are?' group, but I just laugh at this. It is true that I'm different, but that doesn't mean that I don't know who I am. I know who I am; you know who you are, so let's just leave it at that.
Or, I can tell you who I am, in life that is. You see, I'm not like you. Yeah sure I look like you, but it doesn't mean I'm a part of your life, far from the fact. To my people, you are known as Commoners, people who don't know or believe in fantasy and magic. Now, my people are known as the Mystical folk, people who are the exact opposite of you. We, with a click of a finger, can do magic right before your very eyes. Our laws and customs are different from yours; we behave and treat everything differently. To your eyes, this may seem strange, but to us, it's our normal routine of life.
I never realised the time, its 5:30. I gasp, jumping out of bed and heading towards the bathroom. To wake myself up a little more, I open the frozen water you call cold, and stand in it. Yes, I know its winter and I know this is really insane to do, but it actually does help. Once I'm done, I get out and get changed into my uniform and rush down stairs. My mother smirks, saying that I'm going to be late.
Okay, to get your head out of the clouds of confusion, I'll say this; my school is really messed up. We start at seven; I go by six because it takes an hour to get there by foot. My school is in the clouds, which makes me climb this hill. That's the thing that takes an hour, the mountain climb. As soon as I get there, there's the registration desk, followed by assembly, which usually takes an hour to do. After that I have classes, training to build up this magic I use.
We Mystical's can use magic, whether it's sparks from my hands to reading minds. Each class I take has something involving magic; we learn to control them. The concept is like this; I show up, I learn new tricks to scare people, I go to the next class and it starts all over again, as if on rewind. It never gets old though; someone's always stuffing up. I always end up laughing my head off, while my best friend pretends she doesn't know me.
I had just finished my breakfast on time; my mother shoving me out the door. She yells, "Don't be late this afternoon, Daniella!"
I wave, "Fine!" I begin to walk down to my best friend's house. It's really quiet at six in the morning, but that's to be expected. I can see off in the distance the sun rising, smiling upon me. I smile back, taking in the warmth despite the thick white stuff beneath my feet, making them feel uncomfortably cold. Some fall from the sky too, and it's truly a sight to behold. However, there is one thing. I know snow is beautiful and all, but damn is it cold as heaven comes. Seriously, I don't remember the weather ever being this cold.
Looking up from the path below me, I notice my best friend by her gate, ever so patiently too. This isn't surprising though, she is the patient one after all. She is easy to find, not with her red hair, then the fact that she is incredibly tall. She goes by the name of Ruby. I'm the louder one, and she's more of the 'strong yet silent one', if you catch my drift that is. We go by what you Commoners call stereotypes.
I wave, "Ruby! Whazzup?!" She just stares at me, as if I lost my mind. I sigh, "I was saying hello, Ruby."
"…You could've just said hello like every other person…" She rolled her eyes, walking at quite a brisk pace, "It's nice to see you though; how was your birthday?"
Funny how she changes the subject so quickly, "It was fine…" I have to run after her with her pace she's giving, "Hey, why are you walking so fast?"
She looks back frantically, "No time to explain, just hurry!"
We're practically running, until a hand met with my shoulder. I jumped, looking behind me, only to see her twin sister. I sigh, "What's up, Adele?" I tried my best not to laugh.
"Dammit!" Ruby curses under her breath, "Someday, I'll kill you…"
"Oh Ruby, you're like so over rated…" she scoffed, "Hey, Dani."
I sigh; some things never go unnoticed, "I'm fine…Thanks for asking…"
Honestly, for a twin, I thought she'll cool, but she isn't; she's annoying. To classify her in your Commoner community, she'll be the 'blond ditz', and she is. She goes by the name Adele; quite an odd name that is, well I think so anyway. You don't hear that name that often; it's an almost an extinct name. As I said, she is a blond ditz, but that's all because of her attention span; it's extremely small. I would really like to push her off one of the school's buildings, however I'm not allowed to do that; Ruby is her tougher sister. So she hangs out with us, much to my displeasure.
Its six fifteen, and we're on our way to the clouds. My other friend showed up. Her classification would be the 'nerd'; she's super smart, also a midget. She goes by the name of Piper. Like Commoners in your place, she gets picked on a lot. That is why we protect her, despite her antics.
Either way, all of us get along fine.
The gates to above the clouds are in our view. It's a large grand gate with patterns and all that to make it look pretty. However, you cannot enter; it's forbidden for a Commoner to enter a Mystical's world. If you do, you shall die without a trace of your death. It's strict, yes but we love to keep secrets.
I walk up to the gate, whispering the password. The gates open; a bright light illuminating at our faces. We all flinch, before seeing the staircase with some fellow classmates walking up them, smiling and chatting away. I groan, and begin the mountain climb.
Second Road Academy awaits.

Other Tales
Atlantis 6000 B.C
In a rounded room lit by variouse devices giving off a blue ambience powered by what atlantians call life energy, in the room was many seats filled by representatives from their respected Nations. Atleast all the nations with enough military strength to plunge the world into a war that could end it as they know it. It appeared everything was going fine, however things are not always as they seem.
"Why is it Varon that you Atlantians must always host entry level exams in places our students are at a disadvantage at, it is making our nation appear weaker than it is!" Said a man wearing japanese samurai styled armour with red hair
"Please explain why your warriors are at a disadvantage Fusa." Said the proud atlantian standing in the middle of room , he was dressed all white with black peices of armour seperated by the white material. The armour also gave off a blue ambience. Its strange that this meeting is a peaceful freindly meeting yet all the representatives were clothed as if they were ready to go to war.
"Because!" Fusa began frusterated," We live in an environment filled with mountains and tree's, and you keep chosing open vallly's marshes, deserts, fields, for these examinations!"
"Fusa I apalogize however we have already solved this. This year the exam has been modified to fit all nations wants and needs and to make it as fair as possible. Also instead of the previouse system of having three levels of challenges we have five. We have a team testing challenge at the begining, then we move up to a survival round. The third round will simulate a war how students will be marked will be based on succes on missions and tasks given to sqauds. In the case of the third challenge it consists of smaller challenges. If most students have not failed we hold a pre elimnary round at any point. anyways the fourth round can be skipped if we have a number of 25 students. challenges and four and five mirror eachother there like a tournament each student will be judged by each nations judges more round the student will stay in will increases there chances to be awarded a higher rank."
"Varon it sounds to me you have quite an even planned this year. I cannot wait to see it especially with the purposed multi trained policy." Fusa said.
"Any other further questions?" Varon asked.
None were given and the meeting was adjourned, even though it seemed like a peaceful exchange it couldn't be helped but felt there was animosity between these nations. However most members of this room had no idea of the the war that would occur after the examination, say for the nations that were setting down the kindling for this war.

Share trades worth more than the size of Sweden's economy had to be cancelled in Tokyo today after what is believed to be the biggest "fat finger" error on record.
It is thought to be the most extreme example of a trader in financial markets inputting hopelessly wrong figures while working under intense pressure. The identity of the trader is not yet known.
Orders for shares in 42 major Japanese companies, including household names such as Toyota, Honda, Canon and Sony, totalling 67.78 trillion yen (£381 billion), were overturned, according to the Japan Securities Dealers Association.
The biggest single order was for 1.96 billion shares in Toyota, the world's biggest carmaker, worth 12.68 trillion yen (£71.4 billion).
Ayako Sera, a market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, told the Bloomberg financial news service: "I've never heard of orders this big being cancelled before."
Gavin Parry, managing director at Hong Kong-based brokerage Parry International Trading, said: "It's not rocket science that there was a fat finger here, but it reopens the questions about accountability."
However, because the mistaken order was a cancellation rather than a sale or purchase, the financial fall-out is expected to be limited.
So-called "fat finger" trading mistakes are not uncommon.
In 2009, Swiss bank UBS mistakenly ordered 3 trillion yen — instead of 30 million yen — of bonds in Japanese video games giant Capcom.
In 2005 a Japanese trader tried to sell one share of a recruitment company called J-Com at 610,000 yen per share. But he accidentally sold 610,000 shares at one yen each, despite this being 41 times the number of shares available.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange processed the order, resulting in Mizuho Securities losing 27 billion yen. The head of the Exchange later resigned.Reuse content

Yesterday after the morning Mass, I went over to Aylesford to give a Day of Recollection for boys in Year 10 (i.e. aged 14-15) from the John Fisher School.
The day was organised by Sir Dan of the Blogosphere along tried and trusted lines: a tour of the Friary given by Brother Lawrence O.Carm, a talk by me, confessions, lunch, "Question Box" and a votive Mass of St John Fisher and St Thomas More. St John Fisher is one of the saints to whom I pray every day and I always love to preach about his heroic life: he is a great inspiration to boys and an example of inner strength and courage in the face of adversity.
The "Question Box" session is always interesting. The boys are invited to write any questions they want on a scrap of paper and it is the priest's job to answer them as well as fielding any impromptu questions. I have often run sessions like this with young people and it is a very good exercise since it gives them the chance to set the agenda. There are rarely any questions about global warming, pollution or the environment but there are always plenty of questions about sexual morality (masturbation, homosexuality, sex before marriage, etc.) I usually take these as a "job lot" and speak for a while about the Church's teaching on chastity, self-control, and the sacredness of the procreation of new life. The insights of the Good Counsel Network and the Sisters of the Gospel of Life are always of interest since they come from people's experience at the coalface.
The other questions nearly always include one or two about what happens after death, heaven (sometimes) hell (always) and purgatory. Questions of the day tend to come up depending on news priorities - yesterday we had one about the Church and the Nazis, probably prompted by recent coverage of Pope Benedict. That was a good opportunity to talk about the response of the Church to Nazism, and to try to restore the reputation of Pope Pius XII. As ever, there were a few questions about the priesthood - on celibacy, "Are you paid?" and "Is it boring being a priest?"
To the latter question which is a frequent one from young people, I always answer with honesty that sometimes the priestly life is challenging, and sometimes it is very joyful, but in 25 years as a priest, I have not yet had a boring day.

Seeing your name on the Chicago Bears depth chart as Brian Urlacher's primary backup can be intimidating. Just ask rookie Dom DeCicco, a 6-4 23-year-old former safety from Pittsburgh who was signed by Chicago as undrafted free agent last summer. DeCicco tells Bears Report about his experiences so far in the NFL.
"I've got to be honest here. The whole thing can get relatively stressful at times. No, make that really stressful, most of the time. But I wouldn't trade the life that I have right now for anything. I can't thank Brian [Urlacher] enough for his patience and for all the help he has given me this season as far as easing my adjustment into the NFL.
"That is one of the first things I noticed about this team after coming to training camp this past summer: everybody supports each other. You need some help? Then, go to a teammate and tell him what you need. Chances are he'll do anything he can to assist.
"There are many stars in terms of ability on this team, but nobody is a prima donna. They are very much down-to-earth type guys; the kind of people you're glad to hang out with during your off time. I think that is very unusual in the NFL.
"This spring after the draft was unbelievably difficult. I think any rookie you talked to this year would say the same thing. We knew where we would end up ultimately but had no idea when, or eve if, that would happen in time for the 2011 season.
LB Dom DeCicco
Jonathan Daniel/Getty
"What I did was try to stay in it mentally while keeping up with my conditioning program. I contacted my college trainers and they helped me devise a workout program. I was extremely careful to follow a good diet and to keep my body rested. The reason for all of that was, of course, that we didn't know if the call to report to camp would come early or late in the summer, or at all.
"Once the strike ended, the calls came in quickly. I had to pack my stuff immediately and head to Chicago. I wasn't familiar with the area and I didn't really get to see much of the city until camp was done in August. I did get to know Bourboonais fairly well, though.
"The first thing that struck me about training camp was the intensity. We were going almost 24 hours a day. And since as a rookie I had lost considerable time acclimating myself to the system during the strike time period, I was studying pretty much all of the time.
"I came from a rigorous college football program. In retrospect, I can see that I was incredibly naive. It's true that there is not the distraction of classes in the NFL but the flip side of that is that this is now your job. Everybody is hungry to do well and to stick on the roster so the level of competition is fierce. There were a lot of rookies in Bourbonnais and you can be sure that every single one wanted to be listed on the roster in the fall.
"Personally, I had to reconstruct my game from the ground up. In college I was a safety. I played that position in high school as well. Although I have the size to be a linebacker, I wasn't that confident that I could pick up the technique in time.
"I worked piece by piece on what I needed to do. I watched film. I watched the veterans and tried to pick out the most effective techniques and the situations in which these techniques would be effective. The coaches gave me a lot of help and were willing to work with me even after the day's practice for the team was over.
"Now I feel much more comfortable and am looking to take my game to the next level.
"This past weekend my family came in to celebrate Thanksgiving. It was great and was the perfect opportunity to relax. We have a tough stretch of games coming up and I want to function at my best.
"Oakland will be quite an experience. I've heard that the crowd noise is incredible. But I am not distracted by things like that. I have enough to think about just trying to be effective and make plays.
"I think the team is focused and ready to finish out the season. We are sorry to have lost [Jay] Cutler and [Patrick] Mannelly but have confidence in their replacements. We expect to go forward from here and have a successful finish."
Beth Gorr has been covering the Bears for the last 12 years and is the author of Bear Memories: The Chicago-Green Bay Rivalry. She is currently working on a second book about early Bears history.

I learned this at a soba making class!
The first time you make soba, it's easiest to use a 7:3 ratio of buckwheat (soba) flour and bread flour. Apparently, it's hard to make soba noodles using supermarket buckwheat flour because it's too dry. Ask your favorite soba restaurant to sell you some flour. (This includes the flour for dusting.)

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
im being accused of harrasment and threatning but that never happened and they have me recorded but i never threatened anyone. we have to go back to court because the plaintiff didnt have enough evidence. i still got served with a restraining order even though he used to beat me
Under Massachusetts law, you may not record a telephone call without the other person's knowledge and consent. If the plaintiff tries to introduce evidence in court which is derived from any such recording, you can file a motion asking for the evidence to be excluded on those grounds.
You should work with an attorney who knows how to frame these issues.
E. Alexandra "Sasha" Golden is a Massachusetts lawyer. All answers are based on Massachusetts law. All answers are for educational purposes and no attorney-client relationship is formed by providing an answer to a question.Ask a similar question
I agree with Attorney Golden. Based on what you've written, the plaintiff seems to have violated the Massachusetts anti-wiretapping statute, General Laws Chapter 272, Section 99:
Not only is violation of this law a crime, it can result in civil damages in a lawsuit. I'd contact an attorney prior to your next hearing. Good luck.Ask a similar question
No. Mass. law bars "secret" recordings, i.e. recordings made without knowledge. Recording a phone conversation is a criminal act and you can report that to the police.
Do you want accurate, personalized, legal advice that you can rely on? You will have to hire an attorney, not ask on Avvo. I am not your attorney and am not creating an attorney-client relationship by this post. I am therefore giving only general advice. This advice may not apply to you or your situation; may not take account of all possibilities, and may not match the advice I would give to a client.

Hi Guys
Ive just bought a BMW 530 se, sexy car with a Screen in the console with GPS, TV etc.... but the backlight has just broken on it which make it impossible to use in the dark with out a torch and can only see a little bit of it during the day. I noticed that the screen got quite hot before this happened.
BMW dealers told me it would cost 1500 GBP to replace which I dont want to pay, has anyone here had the same problem and been able to fix without replacing?

Best Community Action Project
To find out more about the projects, please read the excerpts from their submissions below.
The aim of the project
The aim of the project was to create high quality visitor facilities and generate additional income to maintain this outstanding community asset on past its 150th year.
The most obvious outcome
The most obvious outcome is the stunning Visitor Centre building. It is conceived as a partly buried structure - with its lowest level dug down into the earth and rock of the pier approach ramp. In the refurbished Toll House, just alongside the pier entrance, an outstanding interactive interpretation display covers three main themes: the Pier, Clevedon Town and the Severn Estuary.
The action
The action was to design, fund and deliver the new Visitor Centre. Although appropriate professionals contributed throughout, the Trust provided the forethought, energy and perseverance to deliver the scheme. This involved initial planning, selection of professional advisers, applying for funding, grants and a loan, organising a Community Share offer, agreeing the design, procuring a contractor and monitoring the construction process.
The project team
We sought as part of the project to strengthen our pier management team and, as a direct requirement of our Activity Plan, set out to employ a Heritage and Outreach Officer and a Community Engagement Officer.
However, at a broader level the project had to deliver a new future for the pier: one in which the Trust and pier management team are able to generate sufficient revenue to ensure the long term sustainability of the pier. Iron structures standing in salt water require huge amounts of maintenance, and the Trust exists to ensure that our funding position allows us to keep maintaining this beautiful structure.
How it all began
The first idea for the Visitor Centre came in 2010. As a plan emerged, we engaged a professional team to produce designs and negotiated with English Heritage to build a modern building with the curtilage of a Grade 1 listed structure, for which we received a full endorsement before we applied for Planning and Listed Building Consents. Whilst plans were developing, we applied for numerous grants between 2011 and 2013. We had sufficient funding in place to make a start on site in 2014 and construction works reached completion in 2016.
How the project was funded
Many sources of funding have been used for the Visitor Centre project. Securing funding has been difficult and required immense efforts from several of the Trustees (working alongside a heritage consultant for some of the time) in producing applications and submissions.
In parallel with the construction, the Trust decided to embark upon a Community Share Offer which required that it should convert to a Community Benefit Society. The Share Offer ran between August 2015 and January 2016 and raised over £250,000 from over 1,100 local members plus an investment of £80,000 from the Architectural Heritage Fund.
The aims of the project
The aims of the project were twofold: good archaeology, and to inspire those participants who were part of the work. The latter included providing a new insight into the training areas over which the men and women of Operation Nightingale had trained over to all that took part.
We have now examined a series of archaeological sites - with the contributions of Op Nightingale personnel enabling both Barrow Clump and Netheravon Barrows to be removed from the 'Heritage At Risk' list. For the former, the military participants are currently writing a chapter on their participation for the monograph (including finding the first Visigoth brooch from a grave in Britain). Three of the soldiers have now gone on to work as professional archaeologists, one has achieved a First Class honours degree in archaeology from Exeter University, and many have declared a lifelong love of archaeology as a result.
Who is the community
The 'community' for this project is comprised of a mixture of local volunteers, professional archaeologists and, for the most part, wounded, injured and sick service personnel. Many of the latter grouping have not had huge access to heritage in the past, often joining the military straight from school. And yet, they train over some of the richest archaeological landscapes and frequently have a passion for heritage. This project has no particular timescale; the commitment is open-ended as the requirement is also likely to be so.
The action
The project has required archaeological sites to be excavated as they are on the point of rapid decline and other methods of conserving them have failed. By having the military participants we have been able to achieve this task more quickly, with smaller spending of tax-payers money and also to achieve the important result of improving the well-being of those that have fought for the country.
The project accessed some monies from military charities to enable such important components as fresh rations to be procured. Funding was also provided by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to ensure suitable professional archaeological contractors were employed both to supervise works and also to teach participants. The team has liaised with Historic England, the Ministry of Justice, Natural England, and the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre of the MoD to ensure that all statutory requirements were fulfilled too.
The works have been widely reported in local and national newspapers, magazines and journals and a series of outreach lectures have also been undertaken. The team has now set up their own Facebook group (closed-membership) to share support, tales of excavations, and information on future projects and has developed a huge pride in their achievements. One Rifleman who was told at school he was 'not bright enough to do archaeology' now works as a professional archaeologist, and has his name (as the finder of a 6th Century Saxon drinking bucket at Barrow Clump) opposite the Sutton Hoo helmet in the British Museum. A far cry from his days in a Forward Operating Base in Iraq.
Richard Jefferies Museum Trust for the project Campaign to save the museum from sale by local council
The aims of the project
The aims of the project: to rescue the site so that it would be available to future generations and not lost through financial need or resource limitations of the Local Authority; to reach a point of development where we could sign a lease with the Local Authority, and take charge of the site, thus taking its future into the hands of the community; to achieve a standard of museum care that would warrant ACE Accreditation, developing a strong and sustainable business plan, and a firm focus on creating a community asset that builds on and promotes the often unknown, but rich, heritage of Swindon.
The Trust has rescued the museum and its grounds from the threat of closure and possible sale. This month (July 2016), we finally get our lease from the Council for the community to take full charge of the site.
The action
We built up a group to create a charitable Trust; overhaul the site, transforming the gardens from a weed and bramble covered jungle into a beautiful oasis with children's nature trails, picnic areas and community vegetable plots; strip and clean the insides of the buildings; catalogue everything with recently purchased MODES system; secure solid loan agreements; design new interpretation; secure funding from HLF, ACE, and numerous smaller funding sources; open a small tearoom; create workshop spaces, an office and storage space; developing new events and courses; designing new signage and printed publicity material; increase visitor/volunteer numbers ten-fold; establish strong links with other museums and, crucially, with other local groups, including schools, community centres, health centres, homes for the elderly and resident groups. laughed, cried, run around like mad things, and generally enjoyed ourselves...
Why we took action
Our small museum is a unique gem, brimming with history in both its fabric and in its collection of artefacts relating to Victorian writer Richard Jefferies. With that conviction, we could not sit by as it emerged, in 2009, that his beautiful old farmhouse and gardens were under threat of being sold off due to resource pressures on the guardians of the site, Swindon Borough Council.
Initially, discussions revolved around raising funds to buy the museum, but through negotiations with Council leaders this slowly changed into an idea of the community taking responsibility for the site instead. The ensuing seven years have seen discussions, negotiations, plans, paperwork and meetings. Small successes always came with delays, frustrations, complications and ever more hoops to jump through. Nevertheless, we have persevered, and have reached agreement on a lease enabling the Richard Jefferies Museum Trust to take over the management, funding, running and maintenance of the whole site.
Maintaining the museum
Taking ownership is one thing; maintaining it is another thing entirely. Eventually, we were allowed to move into the museum to develop ideas, and produced a mission statement: 'To create/share a unique environment of discovery that will enrich peoples' lives and inspire adults and children through the home, writing and thoughts of Richard Jefferies.' As a community-run 'cultural hub' we attract ten times as many visitors, and engage with them at much deeper levels.
But the best thing about what we are doing is that we love it!
The aims of the project
The aims of the project were to rescue the building and find a long term sustainable use, to respond to local concerns about the anti-social behaviour around the former chapel and the wider cemetery. Involving young people to change their attitudes and engage them with the history of the site and the building was key to its future success.
Beautiful historic building saved for future generations to enjoy. New coloured glass windows – by a glass artist working with school pupils and college students. Education resources for schools. Continuation of heritage craft skills employed during the building contract. Work experience for college construction students. A new Friends group established to involve local people in caring for the cemetery. A cemetery maintenance plan produced as a first step to obtaining a Green Flag Award. Heritage interpretation panels installed around the cemetery. Two history books and two heritage tour leaflets created. Care of the historic buildings by new tenants and by West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust as landlord.
Best community action project
The Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapel, unused since 1993 was declared surplus to requirements in 2003. Local residents were distressed as the building became an eyesore and a magnet for anti-social behaviour. The number of call outs to the police from local residents and complaints to the local MP and Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC) increased. Dudley MBC made a successful application for listing, following advice from the West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust (WMHBT, a volunteer-led building preservation trust) and the chapel was listed Grade II in 2005
The Architectural Heritage Fund was an important source of funds for the early stage development work in 2005/6, supporting WMHBT to produce an options appraisal report and engage with the local community to address concerns. The AHF grant levered in additional funding from the Stourbridge Area Committee (a local community forum) of Dudley MBC. The consultation work carried out at this stage alerted local residents and historians Jean Weston and Marlene Price, who volunteered by organising guided tours of notable burials in the cemetery.
The project hit a major setback when a first application to the Heritage Lottery Fund was turned down due to insufficient funds. Though despondent and penniless, the local community urged WMHBT to keep going and they found a way to maintain momentum and raise morale by organising public open days and successfully applying for additional funds (from Big Lottery) to commission Jean Weston and Marlene Price to write a book on the history of the cemetery and chapels. Continuing support for the project development from the Architectural Heritage Fund with a Project Development Grant paid for a Project Organiser, who applied for funding from Locality to use the chapels project as a pilot scheme for developing a Community Asset Transfer strategy for the Borough.
In December 2012 a Heritage Lottery Fund development grant was awarded, providing more opportunities for direct engagement with the local community. Over 40 activities were developed through community consultation. In October 2013 a Heritage Lottery Fund second round Heritage Grant was awarded. The community asset transfer was enacted, with WMHBT taking on the freehold ownership as a custodian community organisation. A sympathetic conversion for a new sustainable use as a Registrar's office and wedding venue satisfied a desire by local residents to have on-going access to the building and provides a link with the Friends group. The building has been renamed the Thomas Robinson Building and was officially opened in March 2016.
The establishment of a new Friends of Lye and Wollescote Cemetery group realised a key aspiration in the Activity Plan. This group enables local residents to continue to contribute towards the care of the cemetery into the future. WMHBT trustees agreed to move away from their usual "revolving-fund" way of working, to retain ownership, in response to a strong desire expressed in public consultations for the building to remain in community ownership and with a caring owner.
Recognising the spirit of community action that saved the building, a public competition was held for the first wedding at this new venue. Thanks to donations from local suppliers of wedding services, the first couple won a free wedding package worth over £6,000 and a tangible demonstration of the contribution the wider community has been inspired to make to this successful project. A building that had been an irritant and embarrassment has become a pride for the local area, thanks to the passion and perseverance of community action over a period of 13 years.
We are grateful this year to National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS) for sponsoring this award.

Love in Destruction
Everyone's head was gently bowed. Many muttered prayers for their lost loved ones. Others shed tears of pain and fear, unable to keep their emotions in check. They all turned the cenograph into a bouquet of its own, decorating it with thousands of flowers. Amongst them all stood a woman, whose face was still and calm but streaked with tears, as though she was enduring silent torture. She was a survivor of the brutal A- bombing. Her memories of that day were grotesque nightmares, ones she wanted to run away from; but sometimes, no matter how fast she ran, they seemed to catch up with her…. as they did now, hauling her mind away from the present.
August 6th 1945 was not unlike any other day for Kumiko. The morning sunlight that streamed in through the blinds forced her to open her droopy eyes. Sitting up, she yawned and stretched and began to get ready for school. Packing her bag, she skipped gently down the stairs and after a light breakfast, she kissed her mother and father lightly on the cheek and hugged them tight, unaware that it would be their last.
Kumiko walked to school beside her brother, who, on a routine basis, dropped his sister at school, not out of love, but because it was a responsibility given to him by their parents. For a brother and sister, Kumiko and Chan weren't very close. They tried their best to steer clear of one another, but were forced to endure each other's presence during the walk to school.
As usual, silence stood between them. Both of them were lost and engrossed in their own thoughts. The only sound was of airplanes whizzing past the hills. Even though this was highly unusual in the quiet town, no one paid much attention to it.
On reaching the school gate, she looked at the big clock face on the wall. It was 8:13. She was just in time for school. Following the mundane routine, Kumiko gave her brother a slight smile and walked into the school.
But everything changed in two minutes.
All of a sudden, the bright, sunny cloudless day turned a horrific dark one. There was smoke and ash everywhere. The smell of something burning over rid Kumiko's senses. In shock she passed out into darkness. For the first few moments after regaining consciousness, she felt light, as though she was floating. Eventually she came back to normal, but what normal brought was painfull.
Slowly she pulled one of her hands up and examined it. Her skin was blackened and hanging, covered in small and large specks of her own blood. All of a sudden, she was queasy. She tried to get up, soon realizing that her legs were stuck beneath a large piece of what used to be the school wall. She was sure that something like this would hurt to a great extent, but her legs were too numb to feel the pain.
Unable to contain herself she burst into tears. Oh! The pain! The horror! Looking around, she saw lifeless bodies, all her dead friends and classmates, causing her to begin a whole new round of tears and wails.
All of a sudden, she heard movement. Looking to the left, she saw an injured teacher limping his way towards her, trailed by two fifth grade students.
On reaching her side, he gave Kumiko a quick once over. Silently he eyed the piece of the wall that crumpled her legs. Slowly, with all the forces of the teacher and students, the piece rose a little. As soon as they did, blood flowed through her leg. Her suppressed pain surfaced and she yelled, the pain corsing through her body. Unfortunately, the three of them weren't strong enough to move the piece away, so they rested it back on her legs. This time she didn't yell, but her eyes were scrunched up and tears were streaming down her face.
The four of them sat in a circle and started singing, waiting for any possible help. Their sounds were hoarse, a result of the lack of water.
All of a sudden, there was a familiar sound, a voice "KUMIKO!" he screamed, desperation in his voice. "AKI!" Kumiko screamed back. (Aki means brother in Japanese)
And soon enough, there stood her brother, with a bloody forehead and a dislocated ankle.
After exchanges of 'are you okays? 's and 'I'm fine's, they hugged. There was a certain relief when they hugged. They felt like life was worth the fight, like there was something worth living for. Sibling love that had never been there before blossomed to its fullest glory.
With his help, the teacher and the students pulled off the piece of the wall from the top of Kumiko's legs. Enduring the pain, she rested her head against her brother's strong, firm shoulder. She felt safe and secure and passed into deep slumber.
When she woke, she was in the Red Cross Hospital. Thousands of needles were pierced into her skin. She looked to the side to see that her brother was also in a similar situation. She was safe, so was her brother. Peacefully she slipped into unconsciousness.
After being discharged from the hospital Kumiko and her brother returned to Hiroshima, the sight of which made their hearts break. Where once there stood a beautiful city, there was now debris, dust and ash. Their old house had turned into a pile of rubble and ruins .
Struggling through the ruins of the city, Kumiko and her brother began a search for their parents. For months, the search continued. They searched ubiquitously, no place was left unsearched. But alas, with no success. After several months, they had no choice but to conclude that their parents were dead.
The loss of their parents, combined with the loss of their home and city left the siblings feeling gutted. All they had now was each other. And, at least, that was better than nothing at all.
There grew a strong relationship between the siblings. They were supportive, loving and caring about each other. Over the years, the bond became stronger and stronger, and today, there was no one closer to her than her brother.
Slowly, she returned to the present. Aware that her brother, seeing her in distress, had put a hand around her shoulder. With a sense of security enveloping her, she said a silent prayer, first for her own parents, then for those deceased during the bombing and finally for all the other survivors.
Leaving a bouquet of roses near the cenotaph, they turned and began walking to the exit of the Hiroshima Peace Park .
"Well kiddo", my brother said softly "Now it's you and me against the world."
And after the treacherous memories of that wretched day, she relaxed, glad that even after losing almost everything, she still had her brother.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – As the final seconds ticked down Friday night, Rick Majerus tucked his glasses into the collar of his sweater. He waddled over, waited for the horn and went through the handshake line. Then he waddled off the floor, his only celebration a little point to the stands, as if Saint Louis' 61-54 West Regional victory over Memphis was no big deal.
Maybe to Majerus, it was no big deal. He is 11-1 in opening games of the NCAA tournament. But to the Billikens, it was their biggest victory since 1998, the last time they won in the NCAAs, and it made the large man larger than life.
It made him "SLUperman," according to a poster held aloft at the other end of the court – a poster with Majerus' red, round, spectacled head barking something atop the majestic, flying body of Superman, complete with six-pack abs.
"Well, that was probably a restaurant owner," Majerus said. "That might have been the guy from LoRusso's or something like that."
Nope. It was a fan named Nick Marchesano, who went to Saint Louis when basketball meant nothing there, saw Majerus become the coach in 2007 and waited for the day basketball would mean something again. Marchesano is 23 now. He has graduated. But he was in a No. 3 Kwamain Mitchell jersey in Columbus screaming his head off.
What does Majerus mean to Saint Louis?
"Everything, dude," Marchesano yelled. "No one gave a [bleep] about SLU basketball. Majerus came in. Instant credibility. Started bringing the recruits in. We knew it was only going to be a matter of time before he got us here."
[ Pat Forde: It's all about the hair for Murray State's Ed Daniel]
Instant credibility, yes. Majerus had won everywhere he had been – Marquette, Ball State, Utah – taking the Utes to the Sweet 16 four times, the Elite Eight twice and to the NCAA title game once. He was as famous for winning as he was for his affable, self-deprecating personality, his heart trouble, his love of food.
But instant karma? Not exactly. After building the win total from 16 to 18 to 23 in his first three seasons at Saint Louis, Majerus went 12-19 last season – the only losing season of his long career.
He lost his top two players after an investigation into an alleged sexual assault. (Charges never were filed. "I didn't suspend them; I thought they were suspended unjustly," he said.) Majerus missed three games after he was bumped into a bracket protruding from a scorer's table, suffered a cut and ended up with an infection – a bizarre health issue in a career full of health issues. Then he lost his beloved mother, Alyce, to cancer in August.
But he got one of those suspended players, Mitchell, back this season, and SLU went 25-7. The Billikens made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2000. Majerus made it for the first time since 2003. He told his players to stay calm, to believe they could win, to do what they had done all season.
And then he did what he does best: He devised a game plan that the Billikens, the No. 9 seed in the West Region, used to stifle the eighth-seeded Tigers.
Mitchell was the hero. He scored 22, including three clutch 3-pointers – a bank shot at the buzzer to forge a 23-23 halftime tie; a floater from the corner that gave them a 45-44 lead with 6:24 to go, after they had trailed by eight; and a bomb that beat the shot clock to extend the lead to 48-44 not long afterward.
[ West: Basketball as chess? New Mexico's Kendall Williams sees the game from a unique perspective]
That wasn't what this game was about, though. That's not what Majerus is about. When Majerus used to work at ESPN as an analyst, he tried to put together defensive montages, only to be told they weren't going to "show somebody in their stance on 'SportsCenter.'" When a CBS reporter corralled Majerus after the game and asked about Mitchell's budding stardom, Majerus steered the conversation to defense and rebounding.
The Billikens made plays Friday night. They actually outscored the much more athletic Tigers on the break, 11-6.
But they won because they made Chris Crawford go 0-of-5 from 3-point range. They won because they took away Will Barton's curls, his drives, his start-and-stop dribble that he always takes to his right. They won because they got Tarik Black to foul out. They won because they kept only one guy on the offensive boards and sent four back.
The Tigers couldn't run the way they wanted to. They had to play half-court offense and stayed on the perimeter. They took too many 3-pointers and took them too quickly. They scored 54 points, their lowest total of the season. They shot 38.9 percent from the field and 13.3 percent from 3-point range, and this was a top-10 team in offensive efficiency.
"They basically took away our fast break," Memphis guard Joe Jackson said. "We played into their hands by just settling for bad shots. I guess we probably didn't see that this whole season, a team like that, that just got back every single time. That kind of messed us up."
Said Saint Louis forward Cody Ellis: "Our game plan was to slow them down. They had to execute plays to score, and they're not really used to that from the film we watched. They're out running and gunning. … I think we definitely started to frustrate them with our defense, and they couldn't get the shots that they wanted or usually get."
[ NCAA tournament bracket | Print out bracket ]
When it was over, Majerus, 64, shook hands with Memphis coach Josh Pastner, 34 – a walk-on at Arizona in 1998, when the Wildcats, the defending national champions, suffered a shocking 25-point loss in the Final Four to Majerus' Utes.
If Majerus noticed the "SLUperman" poster, he didn't let on. He doesn't make himself out to be Superman.
Six-pack abs?
"I was born with a jelly belly," Majerus said with a belly laugh. "The interesting thing is my mom was a very statuesque, beautiful woman, lean and all that. I never got that gene."
Just basketball in his blood.

It may be cliche to chop off your locks after a bad breakup, but that hasn't stopped some celebs from sporting drastic new do's once they're freshly single.
"We have clients who have just gone through a breakup come in and say, 'I want a pixie cut,'" said Kate Sims, brand manager at Avanti Salon in Boston.
"We have to say, 'Are you sure about this?' Usually, they walk away from the bridge."
These four celebs, how-ever, took the plunge.

Location: Commodity Protection and Quality Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Improve the quality and storage life of table grapes by the application of sprays directed into grape clusters in vineyards before harvest.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
In repeated cluster-directed applications between fruit set and harvest, apply calcium salts, hormonal treatments, reduced-risk fungicides, biological control agents, and other compounds before harvest, then determine their influence postharvest quality (color, texture, maturity, size) and decay (natural incidence of diseases, after artificial inoculation) of table grapes. Documents Trust with CA Table Grape Commission. Log 35964. Formerly 5302-43000-032-11T (11/09).
3. Progress Report
The agreement was established in support of Objective 1 of the in-house project, the goal being to minimize postharvest decay losses of table grapes using biological control, generally-recognized-as-safe or reduced-risk compounds, and thermal treatments. Several vineyards were selected and a variety of growth regulators, elicitors of pathogen defense reactions, and mineral nutrients were applied to developing grape clusters to reduce decay that developed after harvest. Berry color, size, firmness, sugar content, and incidence of decay pathogens were among measurements that were made. With many cultivars, decreases in decay and substantial increases in firmness, sugar content, and/or red color were among the effects observed after applications of potassium salts directly into clusters after flowering.

Car companies make a big deal about their Bluetooth-enabled sound systems that allow you to make and receive mobile telephone calls without ever touching your phone.
But there have been several studies suggesting this is still an unsafe distraction. Now, there's one more study.
Psychologists are the University of Sussex say the problem with a cell phone has never been that it occupies one hand that ordinarily on the steering wheel. Rather, they say the phone conversation occupies the driver's mind and makes him or her less aware of the environment.
The study found that drivers having conversations which triggered their visual imaginations were less aware of road hazards. Their eyes also focused on a smaller area of the road, sometimes causing them to miss road hazards that were right in front of them.
Little difference in safety
Dr. Graham Hole, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Sussex, says it is difficult to see any difference in distraction level between someone holding a phone and talking and someone on a hands-free device.
"Our findings have implications for real-life mobile phone conversations," Hole said. "The person at the other end of the phone might ask 'where did you leave the blue file,' causing the driver to mentally search a remembered room. The driver may also simply imagine the facial expression of the person they're talking to."
Hole says conversations are more visual than most people believe.What happens, he says, is a driver can enter a "visual world" and be less aware of what's happening in the actual world, with dangerous implications when someone is piloting a vehicle going 60 to 70 miles per hour.
AAA study
Three years ago a AAA study on the potential distractions of advanced infotainment systems in cars made special mention of hands-free phones, saying drivers shouldn't be lulled into the belief they are that much safer.
The study concluded that as mental workload and distractions increase, reaction time slows, brain function is compromised, drivers scan the road less, and miss visual cues. Like the Sussex study, the AAA researchers said drivers run the risk of seeing, but not recognizing things right in front of them, such as pedestrians or stop signs.
"There is a looming public safety crisis ahead with the future proliferation of these in-vehicle technologies," AAA President and CEO Robert L. Darbelnet said at the time. "It's time to consider limiting new and potentially dangerous mental distractions built into cars, particularly with the common public misperception that hands-free means risk-free."

Game of Thrones (Season 1) Names!
I thought it would be fun to discuss the names of characters on Game of Thrones, as whenever I watch it I find myself being very interested by their names!
NOTE: I've only just finished watching season one (I know, got some catching up to do!) so I'd be very grateful if no-one discussed any other character's names from other seasons, as it will spoil it for me and others that aren't quite up to date with it yet! By all means start a new thread to discuss other seasons if you wish!
Here's a list of some of the season one cast:
~ Eddard "Ned"
~ Robert
~ Jaime (jay-mee)
~ Catelyn (cat-lin)
~ Cersei (ser-see)
~ Daenerys (duh-nair-iss)
~ Jorah
~ Petyr (pee-ter)
~ Viserys (vi-sair-iss)
~ Jon
~ Sansa (sahn-suh)
~ Arya (are-yuh)
~ Robb
~ Theon (thee-on)
~ Brandon "Bran"
~ Joffrey (joff-ree)
~ Tyrion (ti-ree-on)
~ Drogo
~ Irri
~ Lysa (lie-sah)
~ Luwin (loo-win)
~ Samwell
~ Sandor "The Hound"
~ Mordane
~ Syrio
~ Tywin
Do you like any of these names? Are any usable to you? Obviously some characters you wouldn't want to name a child after! Have I left any interesting names out?

Australia, US sign FTA
Reporter: Tim Lester
KERRY O'BRIEN: Welcome to the program. It's been touted as a great leap forward for the Australian economy, but the Australia-US free trade agreement that was finally sealed today is not the promised package. True, most Australian exporters will get better access to the world's biggest economy - as best we can tell from the limited information released so far. But there are some notable exceptions. Unable to get the Americans to budge on the issue of sugar, the Prime Minister opted to leave that industry behind for the greater good of the overall economy, although he was quick to promise some sort of financial compensation. But even putting sugar aside, the deal does not create open slather for Australian business. And despite the Government's assurances, there are still questions about how US business will make its presence felt in Australia. Business and economics editor Tim Lester begins our coverage with this analysis of the deal hammered out overnight in Washington.

I am just shooting arrows and shooting arrows, when I hear a gasp from Allan. I look over and see that his wrist is bleeding. He seems to have forgoten his wrist guard. He is screaming for his maidservant, Penelope. She comes running over from the general direction of the sword play grounds.
She lays Allan down, and I realize how tiny he is. Slim, as if he hasn't grown his muscle yet. I guess he is just a little late. Penelope is askng for a temporary bandage, so I tear a strip off of my shirt. She wraps it around his wrist, wich is also very slender, and asks if I would help him to his room.
Of course, I would help anyone that needed it. I help him up, and he smiles at me. We walk slowly into the main hall, and I follow Penelope into Allan's room. I set Allan on his bed and back away as Penelope changes the bandage. Allan seems to fear the cut, as he will not look at it. I have seen much worse in the feilds, but he seems to dislike blood. This is not uncommon.

She entered the infirmary and I turned around, grinning. Damn, they won't know what hit them.
My feet silently hit the floor as I walked back towards the training room. This doesn't look like it was originally built as a training facility. If that's the case, then my conversation with her shouldn't have been recorded. Mics shouldn't be much of an issue, sound carries too much across these walls they're so dense.
I opened the door to the training room back up and started doing push ups with a group to avoid attention. Looking around, my gaze caught a burly soldier at the firing range with a hidden look of loathing on his face. Everyone else seems to be falling in line for now... worth a shot.
The Captain walked into my peripheral vision and behind me. Shit, he's inspecting and the chance of him being pissed that I'm not with her is high.
Sighing, I glanced behind me and waited till he came across a particularly unfit recruit who was falling behind. The captain kneeled beside the recruit and started screaming in his ear. My body somersaulted out of the row of recruits and I sprinted towards the wall, kicking of and vaulting. I crouched behind the wall and peeked around. The captain was now yelling at another recruit. Grinning, I sprinted towards the firing range and slowed to a stop in front of the ranges pissed instructor. He yelled "What are you doing here?!"
Blinking, I forced myself to look anywheres at his face but his eyes. Swallowing, I straightened up and quickly answered "I completed every course and was told to move onto this one sir!"
A small smirk crossed the instructors thin face. He demanded "Are you obeying the chain of command now spook?!"
If he knows my face, they probably know everyone else of by heart, maybe even our files. "Sir yes sir!
He ordered "There are five empty spots on the range, pick one!"
Carefully controlling my face, I jogged past him and took a spot next to a burly soldier with a machine gun. He looked sullen, firing blank rounds with a target lighting up where he hit.The stock rocked with each impact, shells flying out. The instructor yelled "familiarize yourself!"
An un-naturally short M-4 landed beside me. Feeling the weapon, I grabbed the pin in the middle of the stock and snapped it open. That's why, the barrel is built into the stock. Weird, no ejection point for shells.
Leaning over to the man firing the machine gun like mad, I said just loud enough for him to hear "Flash."
His gun kept firing and after a few moments he answered "Thunder."
Sweet, he remembers what the marines used to say for friend or foe indicators.
I continued "Lunch, our table."
Aiming down my sight, I noticed white letters on the side, J. Brandworth, ISSC M-4
My weapon dropped and I felt a flash of annoyance. I stealthily walked behind the instructor, put the Captains key card into his pocket. Silently, I left the range and blended in with a group of running traines, the instructor running on the other side.
The captain is obviously the alpha male here, so if he dies and a few other major things happen, disorder should be relatively quick. Next step should be to knock out a guard, that will help show the recruits that they aren't invincible.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
What qualifies as child abandonment in Georgia? My ex pays child support but there are periods of more than 30 days that go by before he pays something.
The criminal offense of abandonment occurs when no support is paid for a period of over 30 days. It could land him in jail. That could prove a bad idea as he might lose his job and you might then not get the support he pays now. If the arrearage is small, use common sense and work with him. If he's way behind, see a lawyer to weigh options including contempt, abandonment, letting the state collect, garnishment, etc.

First, you may want to reference O.C.G.A. section 19-10-1 which defines child abandonment as "(a) A child abandoned by its father or mother shall be considered to be in a dependent condition when the father or mother does not furnish sufficient food, clothing, or shelter for the needs of the child. (b) If any father or mother willfully and voluntarily abandons his or her child, either legitimate or born out of wedlock, leaving it in a dependent condition, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. " The statue further explains how there could be higher punishments as well depending on the parents behavior. Additionally a parent's rights may be terminated if it is found that the parent abandoned his interest in the child by failing to create a bond, spend time with the child, or support the child. If you have an order from a court through a previous suit that requires him to pay child support, I would first attempt to contact Child Support Services to see if they can assist you in the enforcement of child support. Also, he can be made to pay directly through child support services or have his paycheck garnished if he is behind more than one month's support. Some counties have also started employing jail time for those fathers who are in arrears of child support. My suggestion would be to start with Child Support Services and then consider hiring an attorney if they cannot assist you. Consider consulting their website at: http://dcss.dhs.georgia.gov/child-support-process.Ask a similar question
If you need assistance receiving / collecting child support payments, you might apply for services with the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS). DCSS can collect the child support payments and electronically transfer them into a checking or savings account at a local bank or put the funds on a debit card that will be sent to you.

Consider our inheritance. Debt. A ludicrously inflated housing market. Youth unemployment close to a record high. It's an economic Pandora's Box, only minus the hope part.
And it is not a combination which lends itself to reproduction. Many of the twentysomethings I know who want children hope to be both home-owners and free of student debt before they bin the contraceptives. So they can probably pencil babies in for their late thirties, then.
Our dismal economic hand-me-down means almost a third of men between 20 and 40 still live with their parents. Thanks to the introduction of tuition fees, those in my generation who went to university are mostly saddled with debt. Now there's the national deficit to pay off too. And when the bill for the boomers' retirement arrives, it could price some of us out of a second child as well.
Meanwhile, living costs are so high that a friend recently complained she felt "little more than a workhorse". She can't afford to save much for a deposit on a flat, the first stage in her fairly mundane fantasy of one day owning a home with frolicking children.
We are blessed, though, because we are in paid employment. Those finishing school and university this summer are likely to have to fight just to find a work-for-free internship. The knock-on effect of spending perhaps two years desperately scrabbling to climb on to the bottom rung of the career ladder is that having children is likely to get pushed back further.
Owning a home is a luxury, of course. But it was one granted relatively cheaply to much of the original spoilt generation. They were able to provide an owned abode for their sprogs growing up, before snatching this away from them in their twenties by driving up prices. All us baby-delaying young 'uns want is to be able to provide for our children what the boomers could for us.
And yet, young women are often scolded for postponing pregnancy. Putting off having babies is usually attributed to a failure to find Mr Right or to females "selfishly" putting their careers first. But working hard seems an understandable response when you have hefty debts to pay off. And even those in serious relationships don't necessarily feel financially ready to have children.
Recently, I asked a married friend if she and her husband were considering trying for a baby.
"We can't afford to yet," was her reply. To do the best for their as-yet-unconceived child, they are scrimping and saving. If only the generation above us had all acted the same way.
Now, however, another boomer has belatedly woken up to the problems they have left us — Francis Beckett in his brilliant new book, What Did the Baby Boomers Ever Do for Us?, which is launched today.
Beckett seems horrified at his generation's legacy. "We have squandered the good times," he writes. "One half of the baby boomers was too busy to notice, and the other half too greedy to care."
Perhaps a wait for grandchildren is pay-back for their bequest. But when us twentysomethings do eventually have children, let's make sure we hand them a better legacy than the baby boomers gave us.

Influence of Pt–Ba Proximity on NOx Storage–Reduction Mechanisms: A Space- and Time-Resolved In Situ Infrared Spectroscopic Study

The influence of Pt–Ba proximity on the performance and mechanism of NOx storage–reduction (NSR) was investigated by a comparative study of Pt–Ba/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and mechanically mixed Pt/CeO2–Ba/CeO2. NOx storage capacity, regeneration activity and selectivity to nitrogen and ammonia during periodic lean (NO + O2)–rich (H2) cycles were evaluated and the chemical gradients along the axial direction of the catalyst beds were monitored by space- and time-resolved in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The presence of Ba and its proximity to Pt greatly influenced the NSR process. In particular, the proximity was crucial to achieve better utilization of bulk Ba components as well as enhancing selectivity to N2. The space-resolved approach is shown to be a powerful tool to understand the impact of the proximity of Pt and Ba constituents on the final NSR performance.

I watched as the human, Ramin, bowed to my father, shooting one last look at me before following Armes to the armoury.
"Daughter, you have been near the edge of the forest again."
"Yes father."
"Why can you not live peacefully here? We have all you could need."
"I merely wish to see first hand outside this forest father."
"Stubborn child. You are just like your mother."
"She would have said I was just like you." He smiled, then waved me away.
"Go, and try not to get in to trouble."
"Yes father."
Outside the hall I followed the path to the armoury where I looked in to see Armes with Ramin. He was testing a sword, swinging it expertly. Expertly for a human that is. Slipping my own sword out, I climbed to the top of the armoury, and dropped down through the hole in the centre, landing cat-like in front of him. He jumped, while Armes tutted. She was used to my behaviour by now. I straightened up, and I saw recognition flash in his eyes.
"Come human. I challenge you to a fight. Let us see if you can hold your ground for more than a second."
"I will not fight a woman lady."
"Then this should be even easier than I anticipated, coward." My smile twitched mischevously, urging him to fight. Slowly, he put up his blade. I darted in, tripping him up so he landed on his back. I knelt over him, my sword tip on the base of his neck.
"Dead." I whisper. He looks at me admiringly.
"Allow the dead another chance lady, and this time, he will not disappoint." I smiled, swiftly moving off him and in to a fighting stance. He stood up, baring his sword. I flashed forward again. Metal clashed on metal. I grinned at him, and although he was stunned by my smile, he grinned back. I pulled back, ready to jab again.
