I always say it's such an honor to photograph someone's wedding. I believe that. It's an honor to be the one entrusted with creating and saving someone's memories from one of the most special days of their lives. But for my friend Deanna's wedding, it was an honor even beyond that. Beyond words, beyond expression. Deanna and I played volleyball together in high school, and when she asked me to photograph her wedding, I was so thrilled. She and Josh are one of those couples. You just know.
Their day was so incredible- it felt so effortless.
They decided to do a first look before the ceremony, and I'm so glad they did. Josh kept his reaction pretty low key, despite how breathtaking Deanna was. I did catch him wiping away tears when Deanna turned away from him, though. I was wiping away my own tears most of the day.
Their reception was absolutely filled with friends and family celebrating them, and supporting them. I couldn't have wished any more for someone I care about.
Thank you two so very much for including me in this event in your lives. I wish you both a lifetime of the love you felt on this day.

Happy, Healthy Kitchen Gadgets
2 weeks to holiday - Bikini? Check. Gladiator sandals? Check. Beach ready? Of course! We've been trialling swanky new kitchen gadgets for the happiest, healthiest kitchen.
Kate Morrell – Marketing
I was really excited when I was given the Hemsley and Hemsley Spiralizer to test as I've wanted one for ages and have seen amazing pictures of healthy alternatives to some of my favourite dishes.
I chose to make 'courgetti' using the noodle blade (there's a few to choose from!) which was really easy to pop into place. I served it as you would a bed of pasta with the Hemsley + Hemsley beef ragu, which was yummy. I really didn't miss pasta and thought the courgette was a far nicer alternative and totally carb free!
I've tried lots of other little gadgets in the past hoping for the same effect, but have failed miserably! The Spiralizer made it so simple and quick - I wonder why I've been messing about with rubbish kitchen equipment for so long!
Score: 9.5 / 10 I loved this and it will definitely become a permanent fixture in my kitchen.
Milk Maker
Megan Hartley – Marketing
I've never used a kitchen gadget like this before so I was a bit unsure how it worked and I did expect it to be a bit of a faff. I made almond milk first and honestly, it couldn't have been simpler. It was super easy to use and took no time at all – tasted great too! I was really surprised that you only need a few almonds to make lot of milk. It seemed pretty cost effective and I think it'd be great for families.
You can also use the Milk Maker for soup. Again, it worked really well and apart from having to boil the veg first, you didn't need any other equipment. It was easy to clean - the only downside is the size of the machine.
Score: 7 / 10 I'd definitely recommend the Milk Maker to friends and think it's a great addition to my kitchen!
Amy Whyte - Customer Coordinator
I'm big on healthy eating so couldn't wait to try the amazing Nutribullet I'd heard so much about. It came with a recipe book which was helpful - I was a bit stuck for ideas at first and this provided tonnes of inspiration to get me started! I couldn't believe how quick and simple it was to use, especially compared to other blenders that I'd tried in the past and cleaning couldn't have been easier (which is sometimes part of the battle!). It's ideal for healthy on-the-go breakfasts so I blitzed up smoothies the night before and grab it on my way out the door.
I think it's great for families as you can make lots of different recipes that appeal to everyone. Totally fuss free too and it's a fab way to squeeze a little extra goodness into your diet.
Score: 10 / 10 Have recommended it to all my friends and family – couldn't be without it!

Today, we have a guest post from the Domestic King. As you've probably all guessed, the Domestic King, is none other than my wonderful Papa. Now, if you were to write a list of what the perfect Dad looked like, you would undoubtedly describe the Domestic King, so I am honoured that he has taken the time to write this little post for me. Hopefully, we'll be hearing lots more from him in the coming months. Over to you Papa….
On 24th February 2012, on our way to watch the Wales vs England rugby game, 12 close friends descended on a real gem of a pub – The Royal Oak in Maidenhead – otherwise known as Parky's Pub! The pub is owned by Sir Michael Parkinson and his son Nick, who runs it, and what a great job he does. Understandably, its website proudly boasts the achievement of winning a Michelin Star for culinary excellence three years on the trot. From the moment you drive into the car park you get a sense that you're about to experience a pretty good place. Entering the pub on our first visit, there, on the sofa, relaxed and supping a pint of beer with a friend was the man himself, which supports the claim that Sir Michael eats here "… most days of the week …." Although proud of its gastro credentials, the place also has all the hallmarks of a traditional pub, but one that benefits from loving care!
The customer will appreciate the welcoming climate, the well-stocked bar, comfortable seating, intelligent use of space, and skilful combination of brick and polished wood to complete the appearance of this tastefully finished pub. The substantial dining area exudes the ambience of a friendly, organised and well-managed restaurant.
Our favoured drink was a superb pint of Fuller's award winning London Pride. A perfectly kept, well-balanced ale, distinguished by its malty, fruity flavour and its lingering bitter finish. So good was the first pint, we couldn't resist a second in preference to wine as an accompaniment to lunch. If you did fancy a glass of wine, there is an extensive wine list, and to quote their website, "catering for all palates and purse strings."
We opted for the fixed menu lunch offering two courses for £25, or three for £30, which included tea or coffee; most of the group decided on two courses combining starter and main course. The food, all freshly prepared from produce sourced locally, was quite superb. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and provide service that is courteous and efficient. The choice of three starters, three mains and three desserts was sensibly limited, with an enticing basket of warm, freshly baked bread (refillable on request), an ideal companion for the wonderful London Pride as we awaited our starters. The Iberico ham de Bellotta with a fried duck egg and Parmesan was cooked to perfection and a wonderfully flavoured starter. My main course of black bream with creamed potatoes, fennel, citrus fruits and olive oil was mouth-wateringly good and beautifully presented. Only one of the gang chose a dessert, the glazed lemon tart with raspberry sorbet that earned the accolade, "the best dessert ever"! Excellent coffee and petit fours concluded our lunchtime gourmet experience.
A few of the gang intend re-visiting before the next England v Wales Six Nations meeting in 2014, mainly with their partners. Some, however, felt the menu to be over priced and the portion sizes failed to sate their appetites. They considered the 67% increase in price over the £15 fixed menu of 2010 to be quite unreasonable. Obviously prices of produce have increased since our visit 2 years ago, but it pays not to lose sight of the 'value for money' concept, especially in harsh economic times, along with the need to retain customers. That said, my guess is that The Royal Oak will feature on the itinerary for the 2014 reunion, if only for the wonderful London Pride!
Thanks for sharing this Papa! We'll definitely be popping in on one of our next trips to the UK. I'd love to know what celebrity-run pubs have you been to? Have they lived-up to the hype? And, what do you think makes a good gastropub? Do you have any recommendations for us to try? Look out for more restaurant reviews over the coming weeks.
With much love
The Domestic Princess

THE Craig Thomson saga bedevilling the Gillard government will drag on for months more after Fair Work Australia concluded its report into alleged misconduct at the helm of the Health Services Union and referred the matter to the federal Director of Public Prosecutions for possible criminal charges.
Fair Work Australia did not identify any breaches which it believes to be of a criminal nature, saying that was up to the DPP to determine.
In a statement yesterday, the general manager of Fair Work Australia, Bernadette O'Neill, said 181 contraventions had been identified, of which 105 were breaches of the Workplace Relations Act that are only civil penalties which attract fines.
The woman who blew the whistle on Mr Thomson, Kathy Jackson, claimed the other 76 contraventions were criminal infringements which ''relate to allegations against Mr Thomson''.
But a spokeswoman for Fair Work Australia said the 76 contraventions were minor administrative and technical breaches which did not warrant even a civil penalty. The DPP was better placed to determine whether any alleged crimes had been committed when it examined the 105 civil breaches.
''I have not sought to satisfy myself that the material considered by [the Fair Work investigator] in his report establishes any particular likelihood of criminal conduct, as that is a matter for the DPP,'' said Ms O'Neill.
''I am satisfied that the report raises many significant matters which may be appropriate for the DPP's consideration.''
Mr Thomson has been accused of misusing a credit card supplied to him when he led the union before entering Parliament in 2007.
If convicted of a criminal offence that carried a sentence of a year or more, he would be disqualified from sitting in Parliament. This would force a byelection and the government would most likely lose its one-seat majority.
Labor insiders believe even if the DPP acted and there were a conviction, it would not be before the election due next year.
The findings are contained in an 1100-page report which it does not plan to release.
The statement did not name any of the three union officials against which the findings have been made but they are believed to be Mr Thomson, who was the national secretary, Ms Jackson, who succeeded him, and Michael Williamson, the union's national president.
The Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, accused Fair Work Australia of continuing to protect the government by refusing to release the report.
''The Australian people are entitled to know whether a member of the Gillard government has been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions,'' Mr Abbott said.
Mr Thomson maintained his innocence and is understood to be deeply frustrated at the referral to the DPP. His lawyers advised him the DPP process would take months.
Fair Work Australia confirmed it would not help the continuing NSW and Victorian police investigations into the union, saying the Commonwealth Government Solicitor advised it would be more appropriate to refer the matter to the DPP ''for action in relation to criminal offences, including under state laws''.
Detective Inspector Dave Christey from Strike Force Carnarvon said while police had not received any information from Fair Work Australia, ''there has been substantial co-operation between the Victorian and NSW police agencies in regard to their respective inquiries''.
Inquiries were well under way and a number of people had been interviewed about allegations that Mr Thomson and Mr Williamson received secret commissions from a supplier to the HSU. Both have denied the accusation.

Happy Bloggiversary To Me!
One year ago yesterday, I made my first post on the blog that stayed – and eventually became Too Many Annas (back then it was called something else, and hosted on wordpress.com).
Now, a year later, I have 370 posts, 2900+ comments, and a whole pile of friends I didn't have before. The Blog Azeroth community (particularly that silly chatroom) is largely the reason I stuck with it, and got me through a great many difficult times. You guys are amazing (not to mention the TNBlogcast fun)!
And I think I have to put in a special mention to Matticus, who took me under his healy wing and helped me come up with a new name, has been a constant source of inspiration and sage advice, and generally has become a great friend over the last year. (I'm not sure if I can say that I'd not still be blogging without him, but he's been a big help, especially with the hurricane mess.)
I also have to thank all of you – the 500 some odd that subscribe to my feed, and everyone else that shows up here on weekdays and weekends, that posts comments and sends me emails, or sends me twitter messages. It's been fun, I've learned a lot, I've written a lot more than I thought (and wouldn't you know, I've even got a "real job" as a staff/contract writer now too!). You guys are awesome, and you make all the work that I've put into this website totally worth it.
So here's to another happy year of raiding, roleplay, random fun stuff, and whatever else shows up around here!
Much love,
Anna (all of them)

Good news, everyone; supermodel and talk-show host Tyra Banks is cool with her naked body!
PopEater reports that Banks—who famously instructed the haters to "kiss my fat ass" when unflattering swimsuit pictures of her were published—is now at peace with her body.
In an interview on Larry King Live on Tuesday, Banks—who has since shed the extra weight—declared,
"I might be doing a little TMI—I feel great when I don't have clothes on."
Whew; what a relief! So what was the secret to Tyra's fuller figure?
"I maintained it with my ice cream and my salad with ranch and dressing and croutons and bacon bits," Banks noted.
Hopefully, Lindsay Lohan is taking notes. Girl could stand to put a little meat on her bones.

CANADA (PRWEB) April 09, 2013
In the darkness of the far future, humanity has formed the Earth Empire, and with unsurpassed technological might, it has managed to conquer countless worlds and sentient species, exploiting them brutally, oppressing them with no mercy. This dominion will not go unchallenged, however, as noble freedom fighters seek to cast away the yolk of oppression and spark a revolution in Faraway. This marks the beginning of Edmund Ironside's grand space opera, the first novel in an epic sci-fi trilogy.
Across the stars, amidst the endless worlds conquered by man, a sense of malaise has gripped nearly all of the people, who yearn for something better than the Earth Empire's tyranny. Human technology, as great as it is, and an accommodating social structure have been used efficiently, but not wisely. Lost in a fog of bizarre state-imposed controls supported by an endless stream of imperialistic propaganda, the people do not know how to escape their meaningless and servile existence. They do not even know what they want in their lives – for even 'purpose' has been denied from them.
At an outermost base called Faraway, a small group of humans learn of some ancient writings, although incomplete, which suggest that there is more to life. They immerse themselves in this new way, and discover thoughts like respect, compassion, community, and beauty, purpose, and especially love. This marks the tenuous beginning of something more, something greater, the dawn of a new hope. The Empire seeks to suppress the adherents of this way, and a struggle begins between the old order and the way to the future. This revolution spreads across the galaxy and beyond, all starting from Faraway.
With resonant themes and messages that touch upon universal human values, Ironside's novel is a compelling work of science fiction reminiscent of the classics of visionaries such as Asimov and Bradbury. Nonetheless, it blazes its own unique path, its own portrayal of the future and the struggle for freedom and enlightenment playing out amidst the stars. For ardent sci-fi enthusiasts and casual readers alike, a cosmic spectacle awaits at the edge of the galaxy, across time and space in a place called Faraway.

About the Author
Born in the last year of the great depression, Edmund Ironside found himself growing up on a small farm in Alberta. Starting his formal education in a one room school allowed him to see the world in unorthodox ways. Only his wife has managed to temper his wild imagination. Currently, he and Mary Ellen are living in British Columbia.

Chairman's Statement
Introduction and Performance
I am pleased to report a marked improvement in your Company's fortunes over the last year following the turn around in financial markets. The total return (return on investments including income received) on the Company's assets was +42.6% for the year to 28th February 2010. This compares with a total return of +45.2% recorded by the composite benchmark (comprising 90% FTSE 350 index and 10% Merrill Lynch 5-10 year UK Sterling Corporate Index for bonds) for the same period. During the second half of our financial year, the portfolio total return outperformed the composite benchmark.
Whilst it is good to see the strong absolute recovery in the Company's asset value, there has been an underperformance of 2.6% compared with the composite benchmark index. Most of this underperformance occurred in the first months of the Company's financial year when there was a strong rally in cyclical stocks. The portfolio was underweight in these types of stocks, since many of them do not pay a dividend, whereas the portfolio has a bias towards income paying investments with strong balance sheets and an ability to withstand economic disruption.
The Investment Manager's report gives a more detailed commentary about the markets and conditions experienced during the year and the future outlook.
Share Price Performance
The prices of the Company's two classes of share and of its Units (comprising two Ordinary shares and one ZDP) rose sharply during the year. In total return terms, with dividends re-invested, the Ordinary shares returned +58.4% and the Units returned +50.4%. The Zero Dividend Preference share price rose by +24.6%.
28th February 2010
28th February 2009
Share Prices
Since the year end, share prices have been fairly stable. As at 26th April 2010, the prices of Ordinary shares, Units and ZDPs were at a discount of 10.8%, 8.8% and 1.8% respectively.
Hurdle Rate
The Hurdle Rate measures the amount by which the total assets of the Company have to grow each year in order to return the current share price to Ordinary shareholders when the Company winds up in February 2018. At 28th February 2010, the Hurdle Rate required to return the Ordinary share price of 68.0p was 3.8% per annum. The Hurdle Rate to return the Ordinary share price of 100p was 5.8% per annum and to return the Final Capital Entitlement of the ZDP shares of 192.13p was -1.4% at 28th February 2010.
At 26th April 2010, the Hurdle Rate required to return the current Ordinary share price of 70.75p was 3.2% per annum and to return the Final Capital Entitlement of the ZDP shares of 192.13p was -2.3%.
Total Return, Revenue and Dividends
The gross total return amounted to £29,467,000 and net total return after interest, administrative expenses and taxation, but before dividends and appropriations, amounted to £28,338,000. Distributable income for the year amounted to £3,404,000 (5.0p per Ordinary share).
A fourth interim dividend of 1.25p per Ordinary share was paid on 30th April 2010 to Ordinary shareholders and Unitholders on the register at the close of business on 9th April 2009. That dividend, together with the three interim dividends previously paid, each of 1.25p per Ordinary share, brings the total payment for the year to 5.0p per Ordinary share.
The undistributed revenue reserves, after allowing for the payment of the above dividends, are £622,000. The Board anticipates that, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Company will be in a position to maintain the current level of quarterly dividends (i.e. of 1.25p per Ordinary share to Ordinary shareholders and Unitholders) for the current financial year ending 28th February 2011.
The Board
The Board has put in place procedures to ensure that the Company complies fully with the revised Combined Code and the AIC Code on Corporate Governance.
Roderick Collins and Antony Hichens will retire by rotation at this year's Annual General Meeting. They, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Details of their background and experience can be found on page 16. The Board recommends their re-election.
Companies Act 2006 and new Articles of Association
It is proposed that the Company adopts new Articles of Association in order to comply with the final provisions of the Companies Act 2006 which is now fully in force.
Annual General Meeting
The Directors and I look forward to welcoming shareholders to the second Annual General Meeting, which will be held at The Armourers' Hall, 81 Coleman Street, London EC2R 5BJ on 6th July 2010 at 3.00 p.m. The Investment Manager will make a presentation to shareholders, reviewing the year and commenting on the outlook for the current year. It would be helpful if shareholders could submit, in advance, in writing any detailed or technical questions that they wish to raise at the Annual General Meeting to the Company Secretary at Finsbury Dials, 20 Finsbury Street, London,
Although the UK economy appears to be emerging slowly from recession, with investment conditions stabilising, the UK government's fiscal position remains a major concern. The Board is confident that the Company's portfolio is well positioned to deliver the dividend forecast for the current financial year and to benefit from a resumption of economic growth.

Investment Manager's Report
Market Review
At the beginning of the review period, in March 2009, the UK stock market (like most other international markets) was in freefall. Having fallen sharply in February amid fears that the global financial system could collapse, on 3rd March 2009 the UK equity market reached a multi-year low. From this point, the market staged a remarkable recovery through the rest of our financial year, as it became clear that economic Armageddon would be avoided. For the twelve months to 28th February 2010 the FTSE 350 Index (excluding investment trusts) delivered an exceptionally strong return of +47.0%, whilst the Merrill Lynch 5-10 Year UK Sterling Corporate Index for bonds delivered a return of +28.8%, resulting in the Company's combined benchmark delivering a return of +45.2% for the financial year. This contrasts with the decline of 31.1% suffered during the previous financial year. Having delivered a strong return of +32.0% during our interim period, the markets continued to make solid progress during the second six months, with the benchmark delivering a further gain of 10.0%.
In early March 2009, the Bank of England provided emergency support to the financial system by cutting UK interest rates to a record low of just 0.5%, where they remain today, and by taking the unprecedented step of announcing a programme of quantitative easing (effectively printing money to buy Government bonds in an attempt to raise asset prices). Similar action was taken by global authorities around the world and, as the year progressed, signs began to emerge that this monetary policy action was beginning to work. Consequently risk appetite returned and risk assets rallied.
The strong performance of UK risk assets during 2009 took place as the UK economy recovered from its longest contraction since at least the 1950s. However, although an improvement in economic expectations helped boost sentiment, the UK's exit from recession lagged most other developed countries. In fact, investors had to wait until the fourth quarter of 2009 for economic growth to return, when GDP returned to very modest growth of just +0.4% quarter on quarter.
The subdued recovery reflects significant consumer de-leveraging, with tight credit conditions, rising unemployment and high debt levels constraining consumer demand. Corporate deleveraging was also a key trend over the year, as companies strengthened their balance sheets and cut debts to withstand the weak economic outlook. During the first half of the year many companies were reporting significant declines in revenues and profits, with a number of major quoted UK companies also cutting their dividends, making 2009 a difficult year for equity income investors. These dividend cuts came from a range of sectors, but the financial sector was the worst offender, reducing its total payout by some 43%. More recently the corporate environment has become more robust, with an increasing number of companies now meeting or exceeding market profit expectations.
With the Bank of England and also the Government spending hundreds of billions of pounds to help boost growth, concerns have grown over the UK's growing budget deficit, which by the end of 2009 stood at an estimated 12.6% of GDP2. Although concerns over the large deficits in several peripheral eurozone countries caused some renewed market volatility in early 2010, our financial year showed a substantial recovery in UK equity market returns.
Portfolio Review
The Company's financial year began as global equity markets were about to take their final aggressive lurch down. Within a week of the new financial year, markets began one of the strongest rallies in history as the market outlook improved. Throughout this period, we have maintained a modest overweight position in equities relative to the Company's composite benchmark. In April 2009 we introduced a holding in a Global Corporate Bond Fund, managed by the fixed income experts at JPMorgan Asset Management, as a diversified approach to enhancing the income yield whilst benefiting from corporate recovery.
We focus on identifying stocks whose earnings forecasts are being revised upwards, whose valuation is attractive and whose balance sheet strength allows for dividend stability. As such, portfolio construction is determined by bottom-up stock selection.
Throughout the year we have managed the portfolio to ensure that it is appropriately positioned in stocks that are likely to benefit from an improving economic environment whilst also having the earnings and balance sheet strength to maintain or grow their dividends. In March 2009, we bought a position in the high street, directory and on-line fashion retailer Next because this company was undervalued; as the year progressed its earnings forecasts were increased following better than expected sales and profits performance. A strong balance sheet meant that its dividends were secure and that the company could capitalise on growth opportunities as the economy recovered. In the first half of the year, we also bought a position in private label household goods company McBride. The company enjoyed better than expected sales as consumers sought to manage their weekly spending by eschewing more expensive branded products. We added to our position in Standard Chartered, an international bank with strong growth prospects that continued to pay a dividend and we also increased our exposure to the global mining company BHP Billiton as the global economic recovery made progress.
Conversely, we sold the portfolio's position in Keller Group. Earnings forecasts were falling as the outlook for global construction activity declined. We also sold the portfolio's holding in beverage cans to plastic packaging company, Rexam, as a tough operating environment led to earnings downgrades and failed to alleviate concerns that the dividend would be cut. We are currently maintaining our overweight position in equities, as the corporate earnings recovery makes further progress and more companies are providing reassurance on their dividend prospects.
Performance Review
In the year to 28th February 2010 the Company's overall portfolio return showed a strong recovery, rising by +42.6% over the twelve months in comparison with the composite benchmark's return of +45.2%. The Company continued to benefit from its modestly overweight allocation to equities during such a strong recovery by equity markets, and during the second half of the year the underlying equity portfolio showed improved relative performance.
In terms of contributors to performance over the twelve months, the Company benefited from its holdings in some of the mining stocks that delivered exceptionally strong returns, with the diversified miner BHP Billiton rising by 81% over the twelve months, whilst the copper miner, Antofagasta, rose by 100%. Some of the more cyclically oriented stocks that we owned, such as the industrial engineers Weir Group and IMI also contributed positively, returning 125% and 114% respectively, as they outperformed the rising market whilst beating expectations in their profit delivery. Some of our financial stocks also contributed positively to performance, including the global bank HSBC and the lowly valued investment bank Investec. However, some of our more high yielding and defensive stocks underperformed the market rally that was driven by the more cyclical and often non-dividend paying stocks. For example our holding in the major pharmaceutical stock, GlaxoSmithKline, detracted from performance despite delivering earnings and dividend growth, as it only rose by 14%. Similarly our telecom stocks, BT and Vodafone also detracted from performance, rising by only 27% and 13% respectively. Overall the portfolio delivered strong absolute returns over the year and the performance relative to its benchmark improved in the second half of the year.
Market Outlook
The UK stock market remains attractive for long-term investors, with favourable dividend yields and prospects for a strong earnings recovery in 2010. The UK economy has returned to growth and, with global demand increasing and sterling having weakened significantly over the last year, corporate earnings appear well supported. Although the UK equity market has risen by 47% in the last year, its price earnings valuation remains below its long term average.
However, there are several risks, most notably that worries over the UK budget deficit may re-emerge following the general election if no credible plan to address the issue emerges from the next Government. The key risk is that UK firms see profits growth curbed due to a mixture of weak consumption, higher taxes and government spending cuts. At the moment, however, the cyclical recovery may continue to surprise on the upside and the high proportion of international profits for FTSE companies is likely to be an advantage.
As highlighted above, UK equities look cheap versus their history, while dividend yields also remain attractive. Given the balance sheet strengthening we have seen over the last year and the improving economic backdrop, we may see increasing opportunities for corporate dividend growth as the year progresses.

Investment Managers
Principal Risks
With the assistance of the Manager the Board has drawn up a risk matrix, which identifies the key risks to the Company. These key risks fall broadly under the following categories:
• Investment and Strategy: An inappropriate investment strategy, for example asset allocation or the level of gearing, may lead to underperformance against the Company's benchmark index and peer companies, resulting in the Company's shares trading on a wider discount to NAV. The Board manages these risks by diversification of investments through its investment restrictions and guidelines, which are monitored and reported on by the Manager. JPMAM provides the Directors with timely and accurate management information, including performance data and attribution analyses, revenue estimates, liquidity reports and shareholder analyses.
The Board monitors the implementation and results of the investment process with the investment managers, who attend all Board meetings, and reviews data which show statistical measures of the Company's risk profile. The investment managers employ the Company's gearing tactically, within a strategic range set by the Board.
• Market: Market risk arises from uncertainty about the future prices of the Company's investments. It represents the potential loss that the Company might suffer through holding investments in the face of negative market movements. The Board considers asset allocation, stock selection and levels of gearing on a regular basis and has set investment restrictions and guidelines, which are monitored and reported on by JPMAM. The Board monitors the implementation and results of the investment process with the Manager.
• Corporate Governance and Shareholder Relations: Details of the Company's compliance with corporate governance best practice, including information on relations with shareholders, are set out in the Directors' Report in the Company's Annual Report & Accounts.
• Operational: Disruption to, or failure of, JPMAM's accounting, dealing or payments systems or the custodian's records could prevent accurate reporting and monitoring of the Company's financial position. Details of how the Board monitors the services provided by JPMAM and its associates and the key elements designed to provide effective internal control are included within the Internal Control section of the Directors' Report in the Company's Annual Report & Accounts.
• Financial: The financial risks faced by the Company include market price risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Bank counterparties are subject to daily credit analysis by the Manager and regular consideration at meetings of the Board. In addition the Board receives regular reports on the Manager's monitoring and mitigation of credit risks on share transactions carried out by the Company. Further details are disclosed in note 23 of the Company's Annual Report & Accounts.
Directors' Responsibilities
The Directors each confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
a) the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards, and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company; and
b) the Annual Report, to be published shortly, includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.

Notes to the Accounts
1. Comparative accounting period
The comparative accounts cover the period from the date of incorporation on 13th December 2007 to 28th February 2009. The Company began investing on 3rd March 2008.
2. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of accounting
The accounts are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ('UK GAAP') and with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies' (the 'SORP') issued by the AIC in January 2009.
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
All of the Company's operations are of a continuing nature.
(b) Change in accounting policy
The Company has early adopted an amendment to FRS 25: 'Financial instruments: presentation'. To date, both classes of the Company's shares have been classified in the accounts as liabilities due to the Company's limited life and the obligations attached to those share classes. The amendment requires the most subordinate class of shares to be classified as equity, where the Company is obliged to deliver a pro rata share of the net assets only on liquidation. Accordingly the balance sheet at 28th February 2009 has been restated to show the Ordinary shares as equity. Dividends paid on Ordinary shares are no longer included as a finance cost in the Income Statement. The annual amortisation of the expenses of the placing and offer for subscription has been re-calculated so that only those expenses attributable to the Zero Dividend Preference shares will be amortised over the life of the Company. A Reconciliation of Movements in Shareholders' Funds has been included in respect of the funds attributable to the Ordinary shares.
These changes are purely presentational and there has been no change to the assets attributable or rights and obligations attaching to either share class.
3. Dividends

Iraq's most influential Shiite Muslim cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has deemed a US plan for the country's political transition unacceptable in "its totality and its details," a representative said.
The comments by the spokesman, Mohammed Aal Yahya Musawi, represent Ayatollah Sistani's most forceful and elaborate rejection yet of the November 15 transition agreement.
The depth of the objections suggested a widening gulf between compromises US officials are willing to consider and the demands of a man who is perhaps Iraq's most powerful figure.
Under the plan, regional caucuses would be held across Iraq to choose a transitional assembly in May. That assembly would then select a provisional government that would take power by June 30.
But since December, Ayatollah Sistani has insisted instead on direct elections to choose that government, a demand that has prompted demonstrations of tens of thousands of Shiite Muslims in Baghdad and Basra, Iraq's two largest cities.
In his remarks on Thursday, Mr Musawi said Ayatollah Sistani would drop his demand for elections if United Nations and Iraqi experts determined they were not feasible.
The ayatollah has great influence among Iraq's long oppressed Shiites, who are about 60 per cent of the country's 25 million people. US officials fear his opposition could derail the transition and they have asked the UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, to send a team to Iraq to determine whether elections are practical.
But they have made it clear they are not contemplating wholesale revisions to their plan.
Despite US objections that fair elections cannot be held so quickly, some Iraqi officials contend that an existing national database of 23.5 million citizens could be used as a voter roll for direct elections in a matter of months.
US and Iraqi officials conceded on Thursday that the Bush Administration was under growing pressure to shift course and transfer power to an expanded version of its handpicked Iraqi Governing Council.
The officials said that Adnan Pachachi, chairman of the governing council, had proposed the expansion of the council as a compromise between the US and Ayatollah Sistani.
Iraqi leaders and diplomats say the ayatollah might be persuaded to accept an expanded council if it included more of his Shiite supporters.
The council has 25 members, heavily weighted towards secular Shiites and former Iraqi exiles who were close to the Pentagon and longtime advocates of overthrowing Saddam Hussein. Mr Pachachi has proposed expanding it to 125 members.

Hannity's Show Wishes Listeners "Happy Holidays" During Fox's Annual War On Christmas Charade
Sean Hannity's radio show dabbled in the exact language that his Fox colleagues often criticize as central to the "war on Christmas" when an announcer wished his radio listeners: "Happy holidays from all of us at the Sean Hannity show." Fox News' annual trumped-up "war [1] on Christmas [2]" has largely depended on Fox figures taking offense when the word "holiday [3]" replaces "Christmas" in seasonal greetings.

The bond between school and style is taught together with the ABC's. We enter the school system, and we accessorize with sticker-embellished lunch boxes, paint-stained shirts and cartoon-printed Band-Aids. And while our current days as students seldomly include the velcro sneakers of our elementary past, a single accessory has notably remained constant throughout our entire academic career — the backpack. Despite no longer featuring beloved peppy princesses and nifty rolling wheels, the backpack is still a fundamental part of the a student's school style. The backpack has evolved with our minds and with our tastes.
In recent years, the backpack has undergone an overhaul turning it from an efficient carrying device and into a key statement piece. This Fashionista uses a tan, clean-stitched leather backpack to polish off her school look. The backpack is paired with a casual outfit ideal for a long day of lectures and labs. She combines black leggings with layers consisting of a graphic tank, a chambray shirt and a khaki parka. The outfit is further accessorized with a knit beanie and wool socks. Her floral combat boots remind us that despite bitter winter temperatures, spring days and spring trends are merely weeks away. The smooth leather of the backpack inspires a refined and vintage look that, when combined with the outfit's laid-back edge, creates a style entirely unique to the Fashionista.
Stores like NASTY GAL and ASOS offer leather backpacks similar to this Fashionista's in both tan and black styles. If leather isn't your medium, pop with a bright bag or opt for a tapestry print. Personalize the accessories you wear daily and use them as an outlet for creativity. And when you're ready to do this, remember that your backpack will always have your back.
Spotted: Chanel featured statement backpacks in their spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection.

South Korea ups air defense ante
In a new sign of rising tensions in Asian waters, South Korea declared a larger "air defense identification zone" on Sunday, challenging China's claim to a submerged rocky shoal that Korea controls and that lies southwest of the Korean peninsula.
South Korea's expansion of its existing zone appeared to be a direct dividend of Vice President Joe Biden's two-day visit that ended Saturday, during which he discussed the topic with South Korea's President Park Geun-hye. The decision raised the stakes in a confrontation that began two weeks ago when China declared an expanded air defense zone over contested waters that include a cluster of Japanese-run islands also claimed by China.
Biden, who visited Beijing before arriving in Seoul, was unable to persuade China's President Xi Jinping to back down from China's demand that civilian and military aircraft flying through China's new zone identify themselves in advance. The concern is that China, Japan and South Korea have all put down overlapping air zone markers on their respective maps, ratcheting up the risk of escalation into an armed clash in the region.
Gordon Flake, executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington, describes the South Korean decision as "not helpful." South Korea,he says, "is doing exactly what the Chinese did" by using an air defense zone to assert its position in a power struggle.
"The (zones) were never supposed to be based on territory," said Flake, a veteran analyst of Korean affairs. "They were relatively benign safety things. They did not have territorial significance."
That definition changed, though, with China's Nov. 23 assertion of an air defense zone that Japan and South Korea say is illegal. Biden bluntly criticized the zone on his visit, which had been planned in advance of China's declaration.
"We do not recognize such a zone," Biden told an audience at Yonsei University in Seoul.
Korean officials have tried to play down their countermove. Jang Hyuk, a defense ministry policy official, said in a televised briefing that the decision would "not significantly impact our relationships with China and with Japan as we try to work for peace and cooperation in Northeast Asia."
South Korea's calculations involve an obscure rocky shoal. Located 93 miles southwest of Jeju island, and 171 miles east of China's coast, the rocks are submerged except during severe storms. South Korea has built a helicopter port on the largest of the rocks, which China also claims.

In their first ever meeting Tom Brady got the best of Indianapolis rookie quarterback Andrew Luck as the New England Patriots ran away with a 59-24 victory.
Brady was excellent completing 24 of his 35 passes for 331 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions while Luck completed only 27 out of 50 pass attempts for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
The Patriots played well in all three phases of the game. Brady threw touchdown two touchdown passes of four and 24 yards to Rob Gronkowski as well as a two yard score to Julian Edelman. Edelman also added two punt returns that went for a combined 117 yards including a 68 yard return for a touchdown to tie the game at 14 in the second quarter. Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley also added rushing touchdowns.
Despite some early problems the defense particularly the secondary seemed to settle down in the second half and show major improvement. The Patriots seemed unable to stop the Colt offense in the first quarter as they manufactured two 80+ yard drives for touchdowns on their first two possessions. However, in the second quarter three plays after Julian Edelman's 68 yard punt return for a touchdown newly acquired Cornerback Aqib Talib picked off an Andrew Luck pass and returned it 59 yards for a score giving the Patriots a 21-14 lead. Both teams would add field goals before half time and the Patriots went into the locker room up 24-17. After the Patriots marched down the field and scored on Julian Edelman's 2 yard touchdown grab to begin the second half, the Patriot defense forced a punt and then two consecutive turnovers including an 87 yard interception return for a touchdown by rookie corner Alfonso Dennard. In the fourth Andrew Luck threw a second touchdown to T.Y. Hilton but they were unable to muster any additional points as Tavon Wilson picked off an Andrew Luck pass and the defense forced a three and out. In spite of the early struggle the Patriot defense forced 4 turnovers and held Andrew Luck to only a 54% completion percentage. Through their first nine games, opposing quarterbacks had completed 66% of their passes against the Patriots.
The Patriots have a quick turn around this week as they play at the 4-6 Jets on Thanksgiving at 8:20 p.m.Tags: Andrew Luck, Aqib Talib, Football, Julian Edelman, New England, New England Patriots, NFL, Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady

Public transportation can save you some of your hard-earned cash while making your life simpler and more convenient. Well-developed bus, train or subway systems can save you money and time, but even more minimal public transportation options can be beneficial. Here are some ways that even an occasional use of public transportation can save you money.
No Fuel & Maintenance Costs
When you take public transportation, you don't need to purchase fuel or maintain a vehicle. It's as simple as that. And because of governmental support for public transportation and the economies of scale behind these systems, your ticket cost is only a small fraction of what it costs to drive and maintain your own vehicle. Even if you have your own car, driving it less means that you're not having to fill up or take it in for service as often as you would otherwise.
Less Stress
The fact is, taking public transportation can be less stressful than driving your own vehicle, potentially leading to better health and increased overall wellness. To get the most out of this benefit, use your time on the bus or train to read, meditate, knit, play word games, or do other activities that make you happy. Such activities will keep your brain active, relax you, and let you use your commute time to recharge your batteries. Stress has been shown to cause all sorts of health problems, so use this time to counteract the stress of your life and improve both your health and your finances.
Time to Work
On the other side of the coin, time on public transportation can also be spent getting some work done. Making calls, catching up on emails, writing memos, or otherwise taking care of work-related duties can put more money in your pocket in the long run.
The Benefits of Passes
If your public transportation system offers weekly, monthly or yearly passes, you'll save money as well as the aggravation of having to hunt for change when you're boarding. Find out what's available, do some calculations, and determine if buying a pass is right for you.
If you're not sure what public transportation options are available in your community, do some research into schedules and fees. Take some trial rides to see what routes work best for you, and experiment with mixing different modes of transportation. Many bus systems, for instance, let you bring your bicycle along so you can ride to and from stops. Such options can make taking public transportation even more appealing, fun and practical.


text: Show Hide image Politics 9 May 2012 Mastercard jumps on the digital payments bandwagon PayPass aims to compete with PayPal and PayWave. Sign up for our weekly email * Mastercard is joining the electronic payments trend with the introduction of PayPass, its new digital wallet service. Although the available pool of words one can stick on the end of "pay-" is rapidly shrinking (between PayPal, Paywave, and this new service), Mastercard's plan is larger in scope than many of its competitors, comprised of three distinct components – an acceptance network (comprising PayPass Online and PayPass Contactless), a digital wallet service and an API (application programming interface – a way for developers to integrate external systems into their own programs). Mastercard's masterplan is for customers to have a consistent experience no matter where and how they shop. Using smartphone payments on the same network as credit cards will hopefully spur takeup, and unifying the experience between online and offline shopping could also take some of the fear away from an otherwise novel experience. Ed McLaughlin, chief emerging payments officer at MasterCard, said that: Consumers are looking to pay for goods when, how and where they choose. Merchants want flexibility to easily accept digital payments so they can convert more browsers to buyers both online and in store. We realize that when it comes to payments, no single wallet will rule them all. The new system is launching in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, but the two major partners are both from North America. Barnes and Noble and American Airlines have both implemented the PayPass online checkout button on their websites, and American will also integrate the PayPass wallet into its mobile application. With its online and digital wallet services, Mastercard is moving into territory where it doesn't have the oligopoly it and Visa are used to in the offline payment market. What it will make of its new role as scrappy underdog to the behemoth that is PayPal will be interesting to see. Alex Hern is a technology reporter for the Guardian.

Texas Baptist Forum
- September 7, 2011
- By Staff, Baptist Standard
Not only did I grow up in a "Baptist orphanage," but I obtained a master's degree in social work, intending to work in child care. In order to live in the "home," I moved more than 100 miles from my origins, which apparently would be against today's government rules. But that was the best move I ever made, and growing up in the rather sizeable institution was the best situation for me at that time.
Although there now is a push for children to grow up in foster families, rather than institutions (Aug. 1 ), I would have been totally unsuited for such close intimacy with a family group.
Due to my early childhood, I was rather closed off emotionally—which is difficult for many adults to accept and understand—and that made it impossible for me to express caring physically. Most everyone I, and most of us, learn to trust and rely on early in life had failed me. I tried living with several families over the years and soon was shuffled back to the "home" because the adults could not connect with me. I never was difficult to control or live with, just detached emotionally. I was always on the honor roll, active in many organizations both at school and church, seemingly an ideal young lady.
All this to say leaving behind institutional living is a mistake, because many children who need care don't do well in the emotionally close environment of a foster home.

Sunday school offerings
Recently, I joined the "counters" to prepare the weekly bank deposit for our church. I was surprised when we began to open the offering envelopes and count the money that we had less than $1 in change. Where was all the change from the children's and youth Sunday school offerings? There was none. Our church no longer has a Sunday school offering.
Adults give the majority of the money to the church during the worship services using envelopes sent to their homes. Visitors who want to contribute can use pew envelopes. Of course, some money is placed in the offering plates. This envelope system makes it easier on the church office staff's record-keeping and simplifies the preparing of a deposit.
It is not an issue of money that I am concerned about. But it seems to me that by not having a Sunday school offering, we are failing to teach the children and youth about their personal stewardship responsibility. I realize most money given by children and youth really would be from their parents. It seems we may now inadvertently be teaching our children and youth, "Don't worry about giving until you become an adult and you are mailed a supply of offering envelopes."
Is our church following a common practice for Texas Baptist churches? Or do most of our Texas Baptist churches still have a Sunday school offering? I am really curious.

Who is in heaven?
In Sunday school, we discussed who will be in heaven. I introduced this question: In Matthew 25:32-46 Jesus describes how the people will be separated as they stand before God. Jesus states that separation is based upon the choices made by each individual. How was God's grace a part of who was on the right and who was on the left? Did those on the right really earn their salvation based upon their choices?
Class members responded that I had taken this Scripture out of context, which is partially true. I then pointed out those on the right sought a relationship with Jesus by their ministry to those in need. Those on the left claimed belief in Jesus but failed to have a relationship with Jesus. Grace is necessary for any human to be saved; however, God created humans to have a relationship with him. Those on the left failed the relationship test.
As Christians, we need to emphasize the importance of the relationship Jesus describes in this passage.

THE grounds of a former comprehensive school could house 92 homes under new proposals submitted to planners.
The site of the former Queens Hill Comprehensive School in Newport has also been targeted for new recreational facilities for the adjoining St Mary's Roman Catholic School.
According to documents submitted to Newport City Council planners by the council itself and Residual Lands Ltd, ten of the 92 homes would be affordable.
A 50m by 18m hard surfaced playground for St Mary's is also in the works – due to be laid at the site of a school meals building that will be demolished – as is a 40m by 18m mini sports pitch for rugby.
Some open space would be provided, with plans including the retention, maintenance and protection of "existing significant trees".
Developers argued that without a beneficial use, "the land and empty buildings will degrade as they lie empty and fall into disrepair."
Last year, a survey of residents found most who responded said they'd like to see improved school facilities at the site.
The application would allow for the site to be sold and developed by a different firm, as the council cannot develop it itself.
