I was 19 and living in Aix en Provence. Through a remote contact I introduced myself to Madame Tailleaux who lived at Le Tholonet, in the hope of finding some work. A pattern emerged. I would go to La Bertranne, her house in Le Tholonet, a few days a week and work in her garden and in return she would make me lunch – a proper French, two-hour lunch – introduce me to local people and act as a guide, mentor and friend.
She would also expect me to accompany her on jaunts, often without notice. The Renault would stop in Rue Portalis and she would call up to the window for me to come down because we were going to Gardanne to buy some tiles or to come quickly – it would be eleven in the morning – because Poublier who lived two fields away had a bouillabaisse ready.
She seemed old to me but was no more than 60 – just a few years older than I am now. She was half American, half French and brought up in pre-war France and had married a French painter. Her house had various lodgers, waifs and strays and friends of various nationalities who were treated as a cross between children and members of a commune.
While the basic lingua franca of the household was French, she rarely completed a sentence in the same language that she began it and jumped from French to English to German to Italian as she talked, seemingly unaware of doing so.
I went back to La Bertranne last summer and learnt that she had only died a few years ago in her late 90s. I also learnt from her son Carlo that she had been sent to a concentration camp in the war for helping the resistance and Jewish escapees. She hated injustice and authority in equal measure, treating both with an aristocratic, imperious fury and was scared of nothing.
I loved that fearlessness and complete lack of philistinism and the connection to the artists and writers of the Twenties, Thirties and Forties. She had been the living key to a world otherwise unobtainable to me and her influence spread far beyond the actual time or things that we did together. So I travelled back along the road to Le Tholonet to see if I could find La Bertranne. I had no plan. I just wanted to go down that road again.
The route from Aix was fringed with villas for perhaps a kilometre and then quickly left town and cut and twisted into the hillside through pines and oaks growing among pink boulders. Blue shadows. Hollyhocks in the long grass and a meadow dotted with thousands of white spiders.
The little marble plaque tucked into a stone wall that I noticed 40 years ago commemorating six names "Fusiles par les nazis Le 17 Aout 1944", presumably right here, at this bend in the road, far enough away from the town to be out of earshot and with a bank high enough to absorb bullets, was still exactly the same. A plastic water bottle was stuffed with a florist's lily and hydrangea. Sad, only half noticed, shameful.
And then against that clear blue sky, with a lick of pine branch framing its contours, Mont Sainte-Victoire rising and growing before me. Mont Sainte-Victoire always seems, as Cezanne so brilliantly portrayed, to be always in the process of becoming, as though its heaving geology is just momentarily stilled and the iconic shape is a temporary assumption.
Forty years ago I climbed to the Croix de Provence at the top of the mountain. There is a track all the way up, steep and at times needing all hands as well as feet but, like so many of the wonderful Grand Randonnée right across France, clearly marked with painted red and white stripes stripes on the rock, helpful without being bossy and at times daring you on without unnecessary and unwelcome consideration for your health or safety in the process. The Alps could be seen in the east, their snow surreal in the hot, resinous light. As the afternoon light angled down from the west towards them they turned golden and then pink. I stayed watching, transfixed, until the light slid down and the peaks sunk back into shade and then stumbled down the mountain in the dusk.
I assumed that by now, a full generation on, La Bertranne would have been bought by a German banker and be replete with swimming pool, gym and sleek fast car outside. Half tempted to turn back and not risk the disillusionment, I went up the long track, encouraged to find it as bumpy as I recalled it and parked by the house. The banging and sawing from builders confirmed my suspicions and I was turning to leave when a voice said "Monty!" A figure appeared in the doorway with Madame Tailleaux's deeply sunken eyes and high cheekbones. Her face but carried by a man, probably in his sixties. It was Carlo, her son, who I had not met but had heard much of. It turned out that he had come across me on telly in England, where had lived for a while, and also something of me from his mother. He was moving back and repairing the house.
We sat on the terrace and drank a glass of wine and talked of those years ago that we had shared without ever meeting. I was, Carlo said, in many ways a replacement for him. A biddable version of the impossible, uncontrollable son. It was a strange role for me, who had always been the black sheep of my own family, to become the safer substitute for someone whose adulthood was so much freer and more interesting than the versions that I grew up with at home.
He said that the garden meant a lot to her and that I helped her keep it in some order would have mattered. He wanted to try and live here, didn't know if it would work out, but wanted to make it beautiful again in her memory.
I left, bouncing slowly down the track to the road between the barley fields infiltrated with fennel and St Victoire looming out of the shadows in the East. I felt at peace. It was not so much a case of seeing old friends but seeing and laying the ghosts of my old self and settling that piece of my past easily into my present.

This technique was used by Yomi Uchiha. This technique is a powerful seal that can only be broken by 3 Mangekyo Sharingan users, each using one of the 3 techniques, in front of the seal in order to break it.
It was revealed by Naruto Uzumaki, that in order for any one to break this seal (the one on Ryun Uchiha), Yomi himself has to be present. Since he is dead, it is then impossible for anyone to take the Ten Tailed Fox out of Ryun.

Mohi was with her three-year-old son and maid Beena when the two culprits, who came on a motorcycle, barged into her house at New Ashok Nagar area in east Delhi, police said.
"The abductors overpowered Beena and tried to do the same to Mohi but she was strangled with a plastic wire as she resisted. They put the body into the storage container of a bed and took away with boy," said a police officer.
After the culprits left, Beena went to the shop of Mohi's husband, Inam, to tell him about the incident, the officer said. Police were informed subsequently.
Police said the incident seemed linked to personal enmity. However, a few valuables found to be missing from the house.
Mohi and Inam got married four years ago.

As you know, today in New Hampshire, tens of thousands of workers are forced to pay tribute to a union boss or be fired.
And that's just plain wrong.
But with freedom, jobs and economic prosperity potentially all at stake this election year in New Hampshire, it's vital your next Governor oppose forced unionism.
That's why our friends at New England Citizens for Right to Work sent your candidates for Governor and state legislature a survey on the forced-unionism issue, asking them to support a state Right to Work law and pledge 100% opposition to forced unionism.
The issue is simple: No worker should ever be forced to pay tribute to a union boss just to get or keep a job.
Now, I have both good and bad news to report in the race for Governor.
The good news is, one of your candidates -- Republican Walt Havenstein -- has returned his Candidate Survey pledging 100% opposition to forced unionism.
Walt Havenstein has staked out his position in favor of a state Right to Work law –- and complete opposition to forced unionism.
But there's bad news too.
You see, the other gubernatorial candidate -- Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan -- has, thus far, refused to return her Candidate Survey.
Sadly, Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan's pro-forced- unionism position is no secret.
In fact, while serving in the State Senate, Maggie Hassan voted to KILL a limited Right to Work bill for state employees.
And unless something happens, I'm afraid she'll continue to put the interests of the union bosses above those of the working men and women of the Granite State.
It's absolutely vital you put the heat on Maggie Hassan today and insist she come around on the forced-unionism issue.
You see, a state Right to Work law would end Big Labor's power to compel workers in New Hampshire to pay for the "privilege" of getting jobs and taking care of their families.
That's a HUGE reason all of your candidates should support the passage of Right to Work.
Here's another: A state Right to Work law would also give a huge boost to the New Hampshire economy.
The fact is, the economic story could not be clearer:
*** Private sector employment jumped 15.3% over the last decade in Right to Work states -- nearly THREE TIMES the rate in New Hampshire;
*** Real private sector employee pay and benefits grew 16% in Right to Work states from 2003 to 2013 -- compared to just 6.4% in New Hampshire;
*** From 2003 to 2013, real manufacturing GDP increased by 26.2% in Right to Work states -- nearly double the rate of forced-unionism New Hampshire.
It's not hard to see why Right to Work states have such a huge advantage over forced-unionism states.
PHH Fantus, the nation's longtime leading business relocation firm, reported that half of all businesses automatically eliminate non-Right to Work states like New Hampshire when considering relocation or expansion.
And those jobs going to Right to Work states are good, high-paying jobs.
George Mason University's Nobel Prize-winning economics department found that families in Right to Work states average $2,800 more in purchasing power than families in non-Right to Work states.
A more recent study conducted by Dr. Barry Poulson -- a past president of the North American Economics and Finance Association and economics professor at the University of Colorado -- showed even more striking results.
Dr. Poulson found that families in Right to Work states have nearly $4,300 more purchasing power than families in non-Right to Work states.
Until politicians in Concord are willing to stand up to the union bosses, New Hampshirites will not be able to enjoy those benefits that come with a Right to Work law.
That's why it's vital you put the heat on Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan and insist she come out in opposition to forced unionism AT ONCE.
You see, right now is the time that politicians are listening most closely to the folks back home -- while they are candidates, rather than safely in office.
But with the November 4 General Election rapidly approaching, there isn't much time.
Here's how you can help:
1) Put the heat on Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan. Demand she stop kowtowing to the union bosses and instead answer her Right to Work Candidate Survey in complete opposition to forced unionism;
2) Contact Republican candidate Walt Havenstein and thank him for taking a stand against forced unionism and pledging to support a New Hampshire Right to Work law;
3) Chip in with a contribution (if you can) to help National Right to Work and New England Citizens for Right to Work reach as many Right to Work supporters as possible in New Hampshire.
With so much on the line this year, we're really stretching our budgets to help keep Right to Work supporters informed about which of their candidates stand with them and which stand with the union boss elite.
So, if you can help financially, I'd really appreciate it.
Whatever you can do -- $250, $100, $75, $50 or $25 -- will help.
But most importantly, please do all you can to hold your politicians accountable. Insist that ALL of your candidates take a public stand in opposition to forced unionism.
Demand Maggie Hassan do an about-face on compulsory unionism and return her Candidate Survey in 100% opposition to the union bosses' radical, forced-dues agenda at once.

That isn't a problem with your form. It's a problem that is related to the Buyer's Paypal Account. It's either the funding method of the buyer doesn't have enough balance or the transaction was declined by his/her bank. You should email the buyer and tell him/her about the failed transaction so to settle it down.

In 2016, Facebook transitioned to an updated version of the Custom Audience and Conversion pixels. They are now combined into one base pixel code that is meant to be inserted on all pages of a website, with optional Standard Events being added to the base code on specific pages to track specific events. Facebook recommends switching to the new format for conversion tracking, optimization and remarketing.
To insert pixels in this updated format, I recommend using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pixelyoursite/. In addition to inserting the base pixel code on all pages, it also has Standard Events and WooCommerce support.
If you're using the older pixel format, this plugin still works fine for inserting pixel code into specific Posts, Pages, or any other post types. It does not support inserting base code on all pages, however, since that's a feature of the updated pixel format. This brief video shows how to use this plugin:
Supports inserting Facebook Conversion Pixel codes into specific Posts, Pages, and all other custom post types that you may have on your site
Provides a plugin options page where you can choose to enable the plugin for certain post types, and disable it for others. For example, you could choose to have the Facebook Conversion Pixel box appear when editing any of your Posts, but never appear when you're editing Pages, or vice versa.
- Download the plugin
- Upload to "/wp-content/plugins" folder or install through WordPress Admin Dashboard
- Activate the Plugin
- Go to Settings > Facebook Conversion Pixel and check the boxes to enable/disable the plugin for each of your post types, then save your settings
Preguntas frecuentes
- How do I get a Conversion Tracking Pixel code?
Click Here and make sure you are logged into Facebook. Then on the left-hand side, click "Power Editor," and in the top right you'll see a button that reads Create Conversion Pixel. Copy the JavaScript code that is displayed.
- How do I insert the Facebook Conversion Pixel code on a certain page or post?
In the WordPress Admin Dashboard, begin editing the Post, Page, or other post type that you want to change. Toward the bottom of the editor page, you'll see a "Facebook Conversion Pixel Code" box. Paste your Facebook Conversion Pixel JavaScript code into the box, make sure the "Insert Code" checkbox is checked, then save the post/page. Your code will now be inserted into that post/page every time it is loaded.
- How do I show/hide the Facebook Conversion Pixel field on certain post types?
From the WordPress Admin Dashboard, go to Settings > Facebook Conversion Pixel and check the boxes to enable/disable the plugin for each of your post types, and save your settings. Only enable the post types on which you need to insert conversion pixel code, and leave the rest unchecked. You must have a user role of Administrator to change this.
- I have enabled the correct post type, but I still don't see the the Facebook Conversion Pixel field. Why?
When editing a post or page, click the Screen Options button in the upper-right corner of the page, and make sure "Facebook Conversion Pixel Code" is checked. If it isn't, then the plugin's fields won't be visible.
- How can I tell if it's working?
To verify that the pixel is working correctly, test it by navigating to the web page you put the pixel on. If it's working, the pixel will send that information back to Facebook, and you'll be able to view it in your Ads Manager.
facebook pixel good tool
For facebook advertisement the best solution this plugin, facebook pixel with this plugin work fantastic.
Thanks for the recommendation
Hi, I just noticed that you are recommending our plugin for the new pixel. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
Why this even exists?
This plugin is a joke. Too tedious for the beginners and the pros will insert the code (and track events) in a different way anyway.
Works like a Charm!
Love it – fast and perfect!
Great plugin! Thanks!
The best facebook pixel tracking plugin
I have sorted and installed all 5 major widgets that advertised as facebook tracking plugins here on wordpress.org. From all of the 5 this is the one that does exactly what I want eg:
– automatically add the correct event to the pixel when used in important pages such as: order completed, cart, etc
– ability to add custom tracking to every page when you are creating the page.
– THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE: it dynamically adds the parameters to all the tracking events eg: for purchase event it adds: product ids, and cart value. This means that you can trace exactly what was the ROI for each campaign directly from Facebook.

Second Cruise - already planning the next!: Azura Cruise Review by Blue Aspect
Overall Member Rating
Second Cruise - already planning the next!
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
Anyway, my personal experience was totally different - very clean ship, excellent staff service from our Cabin Steward (Mathew), good entertainments staff led by Neil Oliver, a very approachable Captain (Paul Brown), as well as nothing but courteous friendly staff throughout. The only gripe I have is about the first Port of Call - La Coruna, although we did not go on a booked tour, we were not very impressed with the place at all, and maybe a stop in Lisbon would have been better to break up the number of sea days. Best place we visited was Corfu, visited the Achelon Palace and had a look around the Old Town. Sail in to Venice was also worthwhile (make sure you book a Starboard Cabin - or Port side for on the way out). As previously stated the Glasshouse is worth a visit for the Wine Flights (three glasses of wine chosen by Olly Smith), and the Steaks / Fish. Watched a few shows in the Main Playhouse, also enjoyed watching a couple of films on the outdoor Seascreen at night when it was a bit cooler (blankets provided). Missed a couple of shows in the Manhattan Showbar as this venue was always full when we got there. Going back to the subject of Tours - we did lose 25 minutes off one tour due to the late arrival of fellow passengers (not the Companies fault), but they (the passengers) didn't even apologise to those of us waiting on the coach!! In the main had an excellent holiday, would certainly go on Azura again - it is only your fellow passengers that may affect how much you enjoy it. Less

The Cabinet of Ministers (officially His Majesty the Emperor's Cabinet of Ministers) of the French Empire are the highest level of civilian executive authority in the Empire, subservient only to the Emperor. The Cabinet convenes two to three times a week regularly at the State Ministry and convenes at the Emperor's discretion at the Imperial Palace; there are designated rooms for these meetings at each location. By law, the head of the Cabinet is the State Minister unless the Emperor is present at a formal meeting of the Cabinet, in which case he is merely the presiding officer.
Non-Ministerial positions in the Cabinet include the Colonial Attaches for Canada, Algeria, West Africa, Singapore and Hindustan, the Colonial Representative for the Golden Quarter, the Chairman of the Banque de France, and the Director of Ministerial Coordination. The Chiefs of Staff of the various Ministers often attend as well, although lower-ranking staff members of the individul Ministers or their deputies and undersecretaries typically are not asked or permitted to attend Cabinet meetings.

Currently, private pools of capital are not subject to detailed regulation. No mandatory registration of such investment vehicles is necessary. Registration of such vehicles as venture capital funds (VCFs) is more in the nature of a facility available to take advantage of various benefits available through such registration under SEBI VCF Regulations. While several private pools indeed register themselves as VCF to avail of such benefits, others prefer to stay below the radar screen.
In order to create a more protective regime for investors investing in such private pools of capital, SEBI has issued a concept paper that seeks to make it mandatory for them to register with SEBI before raising monies from investors. The concept paper is accompanied by the draft SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2011, and comments are due by August 30, 2011.
The following types of private pools of capital will be brought within SEBI's mandatory registration regime:
- Venture Capital Funds
- PIPE Funds
- Private Equity Funds
- Debt Funds
- Infrastructure Equity Funds
- Real Estate Funds
- SME Funds
- Social Venture Funds
- Strategy Funds
- Residual category (including hedge funds).
SEBI's move is consistent with regulatory changes in other markets around the world, including in the US and Europe where registration requirements for private pools such as hedge funds are being expanded in view of the financial crisis. SEBI has quite elaborately set out its regulatory philosophy:
(i) SEBI proposes to create a structure where regulatory framework is available for all shades of private pool of capital or investment vehicles so that such funds are channelized in the desired space in a regulated manner without posing systemic risk. At one end of the spectrum, there will be Mutual Funds or CIS which are for retail investors with prudential regulation seeking to regulate all kinds of risks. On the other end there are private pools of capital of institutions or sophisticated investors who entrust pooled funds to a manager who himself needs to have own funds forming part of the corpus. Such pools of capital could also potentially employ leverage. At this end, regulation does not try to regulate the business risks but would like to provide some minimum ground rules for disclosures, and governance practices to minimize conflict. In between there would be various specialized funds where risks are graded and investment portfolios designed to suit specific regulatory/other incentives.
(iii) The proposal intends to regulate private pools of capital where institutions or High Networth Investors (HNIs) invest as Alternative Investment Funds. While institutions and HNIs are expected to be savvy investors and need not be protected from market and credit risk, there is need for a framework to deter from fraud, unfair trade practices and minimize conflicts of interest. Mitigation of potential conflict and deterrence to fraud etc., will be addressed through disclosure, incentive structures, reporting requirement and legal agreements.
(iv) The alternate investment vehicle such as PE fund is raised privately rather than through public funding. The funds are for long term, draw down of funds from investors is staggered, based on illiquid structure and exit is permitted on expiration of fund term. The duties owed by a fund manager to the fund investors will be largely shaped by fund documents that are subject of negotiation between the fund and its investor. Dispute if any, would preferably be settled through mediation, conciliation or arbitration etc.
The concept paper seems to regulate the raising of funds by AIFs, thereby directly covering AIFs established in India and raising investments locally. Foreign pools of capital such as foreign venture capital funds are expected to continue to be governed by SEBI Foreign Venture Capital (FVCI) Regulations, where the facilitative (or options) registration requirements will continue. Therefore, foreign private equity firms or hedge funds raising capital overseas, but investing in India, would continue to operate under the present dispensation without mandatory registration. The flipside is that they would be governed by the general requirements for foreign direct investment and securities regulation, and may not be entitled to some of the benefits that registered entities such as FVCIs have (in terms of benefits on entry and exit pricing norms, exemptions from lock-in during IPO of an investee company, etc.).
The principal outcome of the concept paper is to shift SEBI's regulatory strategy from the existing facilitative regime to a mandatory regime. Under the draft Regulations, no AIF can raise money from investors without registering itself with SEBI. Hence, private pools will be left with no option but to register with SEBI, and comply with various operative requirements under the proposed Regulations, including minimum fund size, minimum investment amount, and the like.

Man shot in 'punishment' attack in North Belfast
A man has been shot in a paramilitary 'punishment' attack in North Belfast.
The incident happened in the Jamaica Road area of the city.
Just before 11pm, a 36-year-old man was walking along Jamaica Road in the direction of Ardoyne Road when he was confronted by three unknown males close to the steps leading to Bonehill Park.
He was then dragged into an alleyway and shot him twice in each foot.
He was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.
Detective Inspector Mary White said: "I am appealing to anyone who may have been in this area and witnessed this incident, seen anything suspicious or have any other information about it to contact Detectives at Reactive and Organised Crime in Musgrave Police Station on 101. Alternatively if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Junior quarterback Joshua Singleton calls the signals for Central Catholic's offense. Last year, the dual-threat QB accounted for 33 touchdowns. His favorite target through the air is WR Dontrell Brown (6-1, 180, Jr.). Seniors Lloyd Grogan and Jovon Johnson share carries at RB for the Eagles. In 2010, Grogan gained 700 yards rushing and 432 yards on punt returns. He's named Mississippi State as a leader.
"Central Catholic has good skill guys," said Loreauville offensive coordinator Rhett Peltier. "I'm very familiar with them, because we scrimmaged them last year and played them in pass skeletons this summer. We need to play mistake-free football tonight. Last week, we won big but Jeanerette started its fall camp late and only had a week of practice before the jamboree; that favored us. Also, they turned the ball over a few times and gave us a short field.
"The key for us is to not have any turnovers. We were careless with the ball at times during the jamboree. We need to execute and wrap up on defense. Central Catholic had two punt returns for TDs last week. Their team goes through Lloyd Grogan. He does everything: kick return, strong safety, running back. He doesn't come off the field."
Last year, Peltier produced two 1,000-yard rushers (Nick Julien and B.J. Greene), although one (Greene) graduated. He's also breaking in a new QB.
"We moved Raymond Bonnette to quarterback," said Peltier. "He has a good arm. We don't put too much pressure on him, since he's only a sophomore. However, at the same time we're giving him a little more freedom because his arm is so strong and accurate. He can make the intermediate and deep throws and has put in a lot of work.
"Raymond's brother - Rhashid Bonnette - is at slot receiver along with Jermaine Antoine (who goes by the nickname 'J.J.'). Nick Julien is our running back and we have a newcomer at receiver in junior J.P. Reed, whose dad is our basketball coach."
Last Friday, Antoine ran for 66 yards and a touchdown on three carries for Loreauville. Bonnette rushed for 56 yards and Julien gained 45 yards with two touchdowns.
Loreauville reached the 2A quarterfinals last fall before getting eliminated by eventual state champ Evangel Christian. Central Catholic was ousted by an undefeated Oberlin club in the Class A quarterfinals.

Alum (Phitkari/ Padikaram) for Cracked heels – Home remedy
What is alum?
Alum is called as Padikaram in Tamil. It is popularly known as Fitkari. We in Tamilnadu have seen padikaram used for preventing evil. Alum is normally bought from the store and it is tied in front of houses with a black rope to prevent evil(negative energy) from entering houses. It has also other uses such as to purify water. It is also mostly used in saloon to rub the cheeks after shaving.
Though padikaram(Alum) has many health and beauty benefits, it also has side affects when taken in high dosage internally. Anything should be taken with great care when trying home remedies. It was used in saloon on earlier days. Application of this on the skin should not be made continuously. It may give adverse effects.
Alum as a remedy for cracked Heels
Cracked heels is one of the major problem faced by women. During winter (November/December/January) season, the cracked heels worsen due to the very cold temperature and because of dryness. It looks awkward to look at the cracked heels. But who does not wish to have smooth feet. Everyone wishes so. How does our grandmas took care of their feet. Then comes the answer. It is padikaram which helped them to keep their feet smooth.
Alum was used for many years for treating cracked heels. This method was used by our ancestors. It does wonders on cracked heels. Alum known as padikaram in Tamil will be easily available in the market. It is found in rock solid form. You can buy this from any naatu marundu shop. It is also called as shaving alum.
Alum powder (Padikaram) – 1/2 teaspoon
Coconut oil – required quantity
How to use alum as a remedy for cracked heel?
- Get the alum from a shop. It will look like a piece of rock.
- Get in small quantities like 50 gms.
- Make small pieces of alum with a mortar and pestle. If you don't have mortar, use a hammer to break the alum into small pieces.
- Take a small broken piece.
- Heat a thick bottomed pan and add a small piece of alum in it.
- Slowly the alum will start to melt and will start to foam.
- Put off the stove. You could see the alum forms a lump.
- Let it cool. Once it is cool, powder it finely with a hammer.
- Take half a spoon of this alum powder and mix with enough coconut oil to form a paste which is neither too thick nor too thin in consistency.
- Apply this paste on the cracked heels.
Applying alum and coconut oil for cracked heels
This can be done daily for few days until the feet becomes smooth without any cracks. It can be applied on the feet and wait for 20 minutes before wiping out. Since this is an age old traditional method followed by many, it is harmless. But if you find any discomfort when following this, then stop this method and try to find some other home remedy which will help you.
Where to buy Alum / Padikaram?
I bought this alum for Rs.20 (November 2016) in near by naatu marundu shop. It weighs about 100gms. If you cannot find it in near by shop, it can be bought online.

Corruption case is a complication for Neymar – Brazil coach
A Spanish corruption case surrounding Neymar's transfer from Santos to Barcelona in 2013 is certain to influence the Brazil forward's form, national coach Tite said.
Spain's public prosecutor last week called for Neymar to be sent to prison for two years for his part in the fraud case.
It stems from a complaint by Brazilian investment group, DIS, which owned 40 per cent of Neymar's transfer rights and alleges it received less money than it was entitled to because Barca concealed the real transfer fee.
"It's a lie to say that he (Neymar) is coming to work and leaving all his problems off the field," Tite said.
"Yes, it is going to have an influence and he is going to need a group of people to advise him.
"There's no way to disassociate (the two), it is going to depend on the capacity of the people around him to tell him to 'stay calm'."
Altamiro Bezerra, CEO of Neymar's company, told Reuters last week that they were "very relaxed" because there was "nothing new" in the latest court filing to re-open the case.
Barca said this month that if the trial went ahead the club would defend the innocence of all those being investigated.
Former Corinthians coach Tite, who once described the pressure on Neymar as "inhumane", has worked hard to reduce Brazil's reliance on him since taking over as coach in June.
He has rotated the captaincy among several senior players and given more game time to Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus, two other young forwards, to help share the load in attack. Neymar, 24, himself seemed to recognise the pressure he was under when he handed back the captain's armband after the Olympic Games, saying he wanted to concentrate on playing.
"He is still in the process of evolving, including maturing," Tite said of his key player.
"He will hit the peak of his career when he is 27, 28 years old."
The experienced coach also talked up Gabriel Jesus, the teenage sensation who has scored five goals in the six games since Tite gave him his full Brazil debut in September.
Gabriel Jesus won the Brazilian league title with Palmeiras on Sunday before joining Manchester City in January.
"Maybe he will lose a bit of space, there is going to be competition," he said of City's star-studded squad.
"We'll watch what happens and hope that he plays."

by Linda J.
(Fremont, CA USA)
Sept. 5th, 2012 is when I lost my Precious mother to a sudden and tragic death.
She was frail, but nothing seemed wrong with her. I guess I was in denial about HOW frail she was.
Today, I spoke with the last person that saw her and he said she was hunched over, that she was very frail and she was not feeling well (very rare for Mom).
She was incredibly stressed over having to short-sell her home, leave it and come to live with my brother and me. She was so independent and always liked living alone.
Said that having to clean out her house was stressing her, that my brother was busy and her daughter (me)was either not helping her or not able to get there to help her.
I was already feeling hideous about myself that I did not do more for her that I could/should have but today's conversation has me wishing I was not live more than ever.
My brother had just seen her the day before and gave no indication of her looking or feeling poorly.
I had just spoken with her, on the phone and she sounded her normal self-not one shred of anything sounding off.
I cannot forgive myself for neglecting her like that and it does not matter what anyone says-that is a fact. I neglected her and it contributed to her death.
I am sickened beyond words by this.
I have been missing her sooooooooooooooooo much and had No idea How much I loved her and now this.
I am a waste of space on this planet and wish I did not exist.
She led Such a good, honest, clean, hard-working life and did *not* deserve to die such an awful, tragic and lonely death.
It is I who do not deserve to live-not her...
I am sorry but that is how I am feeling...

Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!

A/N: This is technically a sequel to "Hell for the Company," but I don't think you necessarily need to read that fic to enjoy this one. Most of what's been carried over are characters (at least in the beginning few chapters), and I think the relationships between them should be pretty easy to get from context. A short note on setting: it didn't matter so much before, since most of the action took place outside of Azeroth, but the timing of this is after the opening of the Dark Portal during Burning Crusade, and not too long before Kil'jaeden gets his head stuck in the Sunwell. Hope you enjoy!
She'd expected the fire in the hayloft overhead, but when the iron plowshare beneath her hand burst angrily into flame, Callista was surprised.
She snatched her fingers away and swore, ducking back behind the pile of rusted farm implements as the hot metal smell mingled with the dry smoke already in the air. Green flecked the pupils of her eyes as she flung her magic out like a sensitive web over her surroundings, searching.
Imps – there'd only been one when she'd entered the barn, but evidently the little fiend had managed a summoning circle.
A sharp cackle sounded overhead as the imp capered at the edge of the loft, kicking the ladder over with its cloven-hoofed foot and shrieking with glee as it crashed against the grey wood of the barn wall, showering Callista with splinters and forcing her to flinch out of the path of its fall. It clattered to the ground not far from where she'd been crouched, sending chipped shovels and broken wheelbarrows skittering across the earthen floor.
She hissed a spell and the imp's shriek rose an octave as an iridescent rope of shadow annihilated the planks beneath its hooves and snapped around its mangy-furred chest. It struggled futilely as it plummeted through the smoke and dust-choked air and thudded to the ground, yelling curses in its pidgin demonic dialect. Callista thumbed one of the crystal spheres in the pouch at her side automatically, feeling the runes etched into its surface. So much for that one…
The fireball that blistered the air as it rocketed past her head would've left her neck a sizzling ruin had it struck true, but imps were notoriously lousy shots. Besides, she'd sensed the prickle of demonic magic and ducked.
Unbeknownst to the imp, her felhunter had smelled it, too. Jhormug may have been too clumsy to scale the ladder to the hayloft, but he was plenty massive enough to crash through the barn wall in a hail of splintered wood, sending the remaining demon squealing from cover. It scrabbled across the floor on all fours before righting itself and loosing a bright gout of flame back over its shoulder at the felhunter.
Jhormug never paused in his headlong lunge, fire scattering from his magic-proofed hide like water droplets as he bounded through smoke and falling splinters and twisted his head to clamp his huge jaws around the imp's squirming form. He could've crushed it effortlessly between his teeth, but instead the twin tentacles that rose from his shoulders struck down to latch against the imp's chest, a green glow rising around them as the imp twisted and yelped.
The smoke in the barn was so thick now that Callista's eyes watered and every second breath was a cough. Luckily the hayloft hadn't been full – this was an old barn, used only to store extra farm equipment – or she'd already have been roasted. She pulled the collar of her robe up over her mouth and nose as she squinted through the haze, feeling the heat of the fire smoldering in the loft sear the skin of her face as she hurried to where the first imp had fallen and picked it up by the scruff of its hairy neck. It struggled, but only weakly, and she was careful to avoid the corrosive skeins of shadow that still bound it as she stumbled out the open doors of the barn and into the bright summer sun.
White smoke billowed out after her, and she flung the imp to the ground a prudent distance from the building conflagration, wiping at her eyes with her sleeve. Jhormug padded obediently at her heels, dropping the limp form of the imp he carried at her feet and licking blood from the coarse fur beneath his jaw.
She really hated it when people let fiends entrench themselves in their outbuildings that way. Some misguided hope that if they ignored them they might go away, she supposed. If it didn't work for kitchen mice, she had no idea why anyone would assume it would work for the Legion.
Tears still streaming from her eyes, Callista dug two of the rune-etched crystal balls from her pouch and cupped them in her palm. Magic flared poisonous green, tendrils writhing from the twin spheres to twine around the two imps lying prone at her feet. They shrieked and squirmed as their eyes blazed brightly and they seemed to dissolve, melding into streamers of emerald light that shrank rapidly back into the crystal spheres in Callista's hand. No longer empty, a glowing fog of fel magic filled them, a tiny imp-shaped silhouette just visible at the heart of each one. Callista held one up to the sun and peered inside before pocketing both, satisfied. Two days ago she'd caught the felhound that had been terrorizing some anemic-looking noble's hunting lodge. Not bad, for one foray into Elwynn.
Jhormug suddenly growled low in his throat and swung his eyeless head around to stare up the path to the main house. Muscles bunched beneath his scaled hide, and Callista could feel her minion's consternation at not being allowed to devour the imp translating into a murderous urge to rip apart whoever was coming to join them. That was no good. And besides, it was part of the unspoken contract of these things that she pretend not to be a warlock, anyway.
Jerking hard on their bond, she dismissed the felhunter back to the Nether with a flick of her wrist and a short burst of felfire. Maybe she'd let it eat a bandit or two on the way home.
The roof of the barn behind her collapsed with a crash and a swirl of red sparks, and she flinched. The owner wouldn't be pleased, but if that imp had really cast a summoning circle up there it was probably for the best. Less work than purging it, anyway.
Two figures slowly resolved themselves through the tatters of smoke strewn over the path by the breeze, and she strode forward to meet them. One was portly and red-faced, clad in an abundance of green silks and gold jewelry, and the other was a bent-backed old manservant who eyed Callista warily as they approached.
"Ah, Miss Dunhaven!" the portly man said once they'd reached a civilized distance, drawing an embroidered handkerchief from his pocket to mop his glistening forehead. His brows rose as his gaze fell on the smoking charcoal heap that had once been the barn, and Callista wrinkled her nose in something like apology. "I trust those are the fires of success my barn is currently smoldering in?"
"The smoke of victory stings our eyes even now, Lord Duncan," she said, not quite managing to keep the sarcasm from her tone as she rubbed at the tears that still insisted on streaming down her cheeks. "Where those demons are going, they won't be coming back."
"Excellent, excellent," he said, beaming and clapping his ring-studded hands together. "The Light embraces all of us in the end, though what it plans to do with those mangy little ankle-blisterers is quite beyond me, I must admit." His pudgy brow crinkled, and he rubbed absently at his left buttock as though remembering an old injury. "Something hideous, I hope."
Callista had finally succeeded in clearing the last of the smoke and sawdust from her eyes, but the ash stuck to the tracks of her tears itched fiercely. "Can the Light do hideous?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Dashed if I know," Lord Duncan said. "Mollins?"
The manservant, evidently used to being addressed at such unconventional times, didn't even blink his wrinkle-framed eyes. "You were the paladin, sir."
"Quite right, quite right." He nodded sagely, causing the silk of his collar to rustle in agreement. "Awful business, that, a nice young girl like yourself has done well to stay out of it. Enormous orcs with enormous swords, and do you know, I think they actually meant to stick me with them? All rusty and filthy, who knows where they'd been."
"Inside the man in front of you, I believe sir," Mollins said.
Lord Duncan clucked his tongue scoldingly. "Dreadful thing to say in front of a young lady, Mollins. Look, you can see her ears burning from here."
Callista had decided some time ago that no one as fantastically successful as Lord Duncan was could possibly be as fantastically stupid as he tried to pretend to be, so the façade had to be part of some ironic game he played for his own amusement. At any rate, he was one of her few "employers" that she really liked, so she usually indulged him in it. She glanced upward, and was only mildly surprised to see the grey wisps of soot floating around her head. "Just the smoke of victory again, Lord Duncan. That's why it smells like burnt hayloft."
"Ah, wonderful then," Lord Duncan said, clapping his chubby hands together once more.
Mollins cleared his throat pointedly, shifting the hand he held wrapped around the strings of a silken pouch so the coins inside jingled.
"Yes, yes, quite right as always, Mollins, business to attend to," Lord Duncan said. He made an expansive gesture in the direction of the pouch in his manservant's hand, green silks flashing in the sunlight. "Your payment, my dear, and well-earned indeed if success is proportional to property damage. Half now, and half in a fortnight if the little devils remain banished, as we agreed."
Mollins stepped forward (clearly unconvinced by the mage garb she wore) and placed the pouch gingerly into Callista's hand, as though afraid she might sear off his fingers at a touch.
Startled by the weight of the bag – there must have been half again what she'd asked for in there – Callista narrowly avoided dropping it, to the large man's chortle.
"A pleasure as always, Lord Duncan," she said, raising a brow at him.
"So it has been, so it has been," he said with his widest and most delighted smile. "Rest assured that if this contract expires to my satisfaction you'll receive references to all my considerable number of friends. Dratted demons seem to be everywhere these days. Safe travels, my dear!"
She bowed politely to him, which he acknowledged with a nod before the two parties split. Callista climbed the grassy hill to find the tree where she'd tethered her horse, while Lord Duncan and his manservant turned back down the packed-earth path to the house.
When Callista was out of sight around a bend, Mollins turned to his master with his acetic features drawn into a frown. "That woman is a warlock, sir."
"Of course she is, Mollins," Lord Duncan replied. The teeth in his pleased smile flashed almost as brightly as the diamonds at his throat. "Lovely girl, she's the only one who really gets rid of them, you know."
Mollin's frown creased his face into wrinkled canyons. "But…sir…she hasn't got rid of them. She's keeping them in her pockets."
Lord Duncan waved his hand in a gracefully dismissive gesture. "Yes, yes, I'm well aware of that, Mollins. I was a damned good paladin in my day, you know. Elegant solution she's found, in my opinion. I wonder what she does with them all."
"Breeding a murderous demonic army, no doubt," Mollins muttered.
Lord Duncan's fleshy brow rose. "A murderous demonic army of ankle-biting imps? Dreadful thought. I suppose we'd have to invest, wouldn't we, Mollins?"
"As you say, sir."
Callista scrubbed at her face with the rune-embroidered sleeve of her robes, but only succeeded in smearing the ash more evenly across it. "Ugh," she said to no one in particular. Her mouth tasted like singed hay, so she pulled the water skin from her saddlebag and took a grateful swig to clear it.
A healthy pouch of gold and two more imprisoned demons wasn't bad at all for a day's trouble. Callista tossed the pouch into the saddlebag with the waterskin and removed the two green-fogged crystal spheres from her pocket, sliding them into a sturdy leather bag already a quarter full of such objects. The mare's silky white ears lay flat against her head as Callista fiddled with her supplies, but at least she didn't kick this time.
She unhitched the mare from the apple tree (automatically dodging the snap of the animal's large flat teeth) and swung herself up into the saddle, squeezing her knees to urge her forward. Lord Duncan's lands were near enough to Stormwind City that she could probably ride home before nightfall, but she thought it might be better to take a room in Goldshire and wait for the taint of demonic magic to fade from her before entering the capital. Dabbling in fel magic wasn't illegal – quite – in Alliance lands, but it was the sort of thing you didn't want to advertise in public lest "accidents" happen to you. Especially now.
Leaves played dappled shadows on the dirt path as Callista rode through Lord Duncan's prosperous farmland in the direction of the main road. She'd never seen the people of Stormwind so skittish, she reflected, not even when that enormous doomlord wrenched open the Dark Portal. Not that they didn't have good reason to be. Demons, disappearances… Before she'd been...away...during her ill-fated attempt at dreadsteed summoning, it had been rare to see so much as an imp any nearer to Stormwind than Deadwind Pass, but now demons were appearing with alarming frequency within the holdings of the capital itself. They had no particular purpose that she could tell, and that disturbed her – if no one was summoning them intentionally, then they were slipping through in the wake of something else. And even Callista, who was better positioned for word on Legion scheming than most in Stormwind, had heard no mutterings of that.
The oak-lined path opened up ahead as it merged with the road to Goldshire, dust hanging over it in a low golden shroud. She waited for a messenger clad in the livery of the Stormwind Guard to gallop past before urging her steed onto it in a lazy trot. Troubled times these may have been, but at least they were making her rich. Nobles would pay handsomely to rid their estates of alarming demonic trespassers, and the goblin Trade Coalition would pay even more handsomely for the imprisoned demons themselves. Silvermoon City, she knew, was starved for magic in all its forms. Another month or so of this, and Callista would never have to worry about gold again for the rest of her life. It was an enjoyable thought.
Birds chirped cheerfully in the branches that overhung the road, and wildflowers poked their colorful heads from the shade beneath the forest eaves. Even the white mare (bred, Callista suspected, for paladins, no matter what that gap-toothed horse trader had sworn to her) seemed less ill-tempered than usual. At this pace, it would take two hours or more to reach the Lion's Pride Inn, but that was alright. There was plenty of time until nightfall, and she was willing to enjoy the ride.
