The High Court of England and Wales recently decided on a case concerning the ownership in copyright of the famous innocent smoothie logo, the cartoon depiction of a face with a halo, otherwise known as the 'Dude'. The Court held that the owner of copyright in the logo was the owner of the Innocent smoothie brand, Fresh Trading Limited (Fresh), and not the successor-in-title to the company that designed the logo, Deepend Fresh Recovery Limited (Deepend Fresh).
When Fresh was a start-up company (over 15 years ago), it engaged the services of a company called Deep End Design Limited (Design Company) to design numerous logos (including the famous 'Dude' logo). At the time the parties agreed that the Design Company would design logos and branding materials in return for shares in Fresh. Some important points regarding the arrangement are as follows:
- An agreement was drafted setting out these terms and was labelled "Heads of Agreement" and "Subject to Contract"
- The agreement provided that Fresh would receive full intellectual copyright of any work presented by the Design Company, that was approved by Fresh
- There was no proof that the agreement was ever signed
- The allotment of shares was never carried out by Fresh
Since that time, the logo has been used on every product sold by Fresh. In 2001, the Design Company became insolvent and was wound up. In 2009, the successor-in-title to the Design Company, Deepend Fresh purchased all of the Design Company's copyright interest, if any, in all works created by them for Fresh, including the Innocent design works.
Deepend Fresh subsequently brought a successful application to OHIM to invalidate the Innocent 'Dude' logo on the ground that it owned the copyright in that logo. Fresh appealed this decision and issued separate proceedings in the High Court to establish its ownership of the copyright.
The High Court decided that Fresh was the owner in equity of the logo. The Court held that an equitable assignment of the copyright works existed. This was despite the fact that neither party had evidence of a signed agreement, no shares had been allotted and the agreement was labelled "Heads of Agreement" and "Subject to Contract". In the Court's view, the 'promise' to allot the shares (rather than an actual allotment) was sufficient to validate the agreement.
This case highlights the importance of obtaining and retaining a copy of any design contract providing for the transfer of IP rights which has been executed by the entity/individual providing the design services.

This report takes a food system approach to analyse European production, consumption and trade of food, and associated environmental and human health aspects. Understanding the patterns, processes and actors involved allows for more coherent and effective policy interventions to reduce environmental pressures along the value chain, with potential co-benefits to human health and well-being. The report addresses both terrestrial and aquatic food production and goes beyond the environmental impact and economic performance of agriculture and fisheries. The focus is on long-term sustainability objectives, as laid down in the 2050 vision of the Seventh Environment Action Programme and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
European Union emission inventory report 1990–2015 under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP)12 Jul 2017
This document is the annual European Union (EU) emission inventory report under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) (UNECE, 1979). The report and its accompanying data constitute the official submission by the European Commission on behalf of the EU as a Party to the Executive Secretary of UNECE.
Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe, and can cause respiratory problems and shorten lifespans. It also contributes to the acidification of soil and surface water, causes eutrophication in sensitive habitats and can damage vegetation through exposure to ozone.

10 messages for 2010 - Agricultural ecosystems25 Jun 2010
Within the framework of the CAP, the last 50 years have seen increasing attention to biodiversity, but without clear benefits so far. With agriculture covering about half of EU land area, Europe's biodiversity is linked inextricably to agricultural practices, creating valuable agro-ecosystems across the whole of Europe.

A story in the "Our Natural Europe" series.
The EU has highlighted the importance of using the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) to prevent the abandonment of high nature value farmland and its intensification as a key action to halt biodiversity decline. The present report sets out to assess whether the current distribution of CAP funds is likely to favour the maintenance of farmland with high nature value (HNV). And it explores the extent to which CAP funds are likely to support the long-term economic and ecological sustainability of these HNV farming systems.

A great picture, from an age before the motor car had blighted the scene. But when was it taken? Not so very long ago, I suggest. The street lighting, lack of road markings, type of car and large aerial suggests a 1950s date to me. The quaint cottages on the right came down in the early 1960s, so I'm going to stick my neck out and say 1957! I'm very much looking forward to someone with a more intimate knowledge of the area disagreeing with me.
Incidentally, this was just one of many postcard views which helped inform my "reconstruction painting" for the cover of Robert Hallmann's fascinating Thundersley & Daws Heath History book. (Yes, there are still some left, I understand but, when they've gone - they've gone!)
It's a source of continual delight that these old pictures are still coming to light. If you have any, do please share!
The question is, had the houses opposite the White Hart been built? It is difficult to see from this postcard but I know that we moved into No. 85 when it was first built in the early 1950's, possibly 1953 or 1954 and we moved out in 1959.
That's frustrating, Susan – so near, yet so far (if only the photographer had stood a yard to the right, eh?) But it occurs to me, that someone else might have a copy of the same post card with a cancelled stamp on the back. That, at least, would give us a "photographed before" date. Fingers' crossed...
The houses opposite the White Hart were built in 1946 by Wiggins (I was born in No 101) later additional houses were built to a similar design nearer the shops. You can see the difference by looking at the concrete supports for the porches.

I have a site that is a BBQ site, and I also have a site that is not related. I clicked the "Join Program" link to see if I could specify which website I was applying for. The merchant is Ninam Ranch, and I bet they are pretty picky.
To my surprise, it automatically applied to their program. I hadn't even added my BBQ website to my list of sites. I went in and quickly added it under user preferences.
My question is this: is there a way to specify to a merchant which website you intend to advertise them on? They would probably not want to be on my "main" site, but I bet they wouldn't mind being on my BBQ site.
Will they reply if they turn me down so that I can explain what is going on?
November 16th, 2005, 02:34 PM #2
Are they on "Auto Approve"? If they are, it doesn't matter what website you list. I have affiliates listing websites that are never used for my products...

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I was sort of expecting something like that when I clicked. It surprised me when it went straight from the click to "applied for program" confirmation.
The advertiser ended up sending an email that looked automated, so I responded to it and explained. It would definitely be easier to have a "comments" input box or something.

shareasale allows you to list all your sites that you represent somewhere along with a primary site. Been a while since I did that sort of thing so I don't knwo where it is and I'm too lazy to look for you. It seems to me just list all your sites that and the merchant can see whatcha got. PLus maybe you can change the primary site right before you submit to a merchant. I'm not sure if you can, but worth looking into.

Human Factor Training – is it working?

Statistics continue to show that human factors are the root cause of 65% of maritime related incidents and accident with tangible and direct financial costs, safety and environmental issues.
IAMI (International Association of Maritime Institutions) and IMarEST (Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology) are two UK based maritime organisations closely involved with delivering professional maritime training standards. In 2010 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) made significant changes to the International Standards for Training, Certification and Watch keeping (STCW) requirements. These included the introduction of mandatory training at an operational and management level in human factors, leadership and management (HELM).
In 2014, IAMI and IMarEST organised an initial conference to look at this relatively new training requirement and to understand how it was being delivered to mariners. This second look at HELM training takes its focus on the theme of "Human factor training - is it working?"
There are also opportunities for commercial sponsorship (subject to approval).

Thanks to forum for important help
Just a little background first.
Moved to Finland after being involved in digital printing in Australia for quite some time. Started up same business in Finland starting with Xerox equipment and last year before Christmas, after having requests for Printed poster jobs from clients, I decided to invest in an Epson Stylus Pro 7890.
Bought from a net supplier in Northern Europe and, took a couple months for the equipment to arrive but, arrive it did just a couple days before Christmas. The fun began when it came time to buy supplies for the printer. Epson Fi runs an online shopping portal through their EU operation. The online supply shop only accepts payment via credit card for Finnish clients. Well, end of the day, 3 good cards later and no ability to purchase supplies for my new printer, ink or paper.
I was able via my xerox supplier to get limited supply of ink carts and eventually some 24" roll stock from Epson but this arrived 2 and a half months after initially trying to purchase supplies. I basically fell flat on my face with my plans for large format printing and though I had purchased for myself a large brick.
Turning to here I discovered alternatives to OEM supplies and how to deal with issues with the printer. I have since purchased a full set of ink refillable carts and .5 litre bottles of K3 Ink from John Cone of Cone Color of which I have swapped out the OEM factory shipped supply with these and had no issue. My Xerox supplier has also pointed me to HP Roll Stock of which I have been greatly impressed with their everyday pigment ink satin photo roll paper. I run it on the Lustre Photo 260gsm setting on the 7890 and the results are great.
I have followed information here on colour management with the large format printers with great results although I need to invest in profiling equipment for the printer at some stage but I want something I can use with the Xerox Digital production printer I have as well as the Epson. When budget allows.
To say that what I have read here and learnt in the last two to three months, since my frustration with Epson EU began, has salvaged my sanity - is no short thing. I really like the Epson 7890 printer but am very disappointment in their lack of support and supply availability and purchasing. This forum has been invaluable as have the links posted here on Large Format topics from other sites and suppliers.

We interchangeably use 'feelings' and 'emotions' when describing felt experience. This is a common error. I unintentionally use 'emotions' when I mean 'feelings.' Emotions are the internal biological shifts in the organism—they motivate to action, or sometimes just stimulate thought. Emotions operate automatically often in the clandestine shadows of unconsciousness. Feelings are a conscious experience; the conscious recognition of an emotional shift. We feel when attention is given to an emotion. The emotion is then given meaning, labels and associating causes—it's what the conscious mind does. The hidden emotions have power to wreak havoc on our lives. From this blindness of emotional motivation, we become subjects serving the unknown biological kings of our souls.
"Men believe themselves to be free, simply because they are conscious of their actions, and unconscious of the causes whereby those actions are determined." Baruch Spinoza, Ethics
The invisible motivators dictate thoughts and behaviors. Because they are unseen, we don't skeptically examine their involvement. Emotions, as sometimes described, are not hidden guiding gems of wisdom—although they may be. Emotional reactions are learned. Past experience, especially when traumatic, scars and molds the emotions. Reaction to future events stem from the emotional learning gained from the past. Living environments tattoo unwritten codes in our souls. These codes largely determine reactions. Violent inner-city ghettos, upper-class communities, or violent unpredictable homes, form the emotional system—unseen and unaccounted for during self-examination.
When poor behaviors beget painful misfortunes, we blame outside causes. Reasons outside personal responsibility soothe the ego; by formulating explanations and claiming victimhood, we achieve momentary escape. The blindness to personal motivations doesn't protect us from consequences. Behaviors invite consequences. Justifications simply offer a momentary mirage of escape, sometimes protecting from immediate condemnation and softening outside judgments. Overtime, we still suffer from the consequences. Others tire of our constant evading of responsibility. Not only do we suffer the consequences of the ill contrived behaviors but also the consequences of patterns of justification and blame, destroying trust, weakening relationships and burning bridges to recovery.
The new predicaments of the broken soul continue to accumulate. The consequences multiply further complicating our lives. The obvious answer of addressing the original sins causing the downward spiral doesn't take hold, instead the justifications multiply and morph. Dishonesty and manipulation become tools to satisfy unmet needs, further alienating friends, family and community.
While sometimes these behaviors are mean spirited and hateful, they often start with undetected confabulations—the automatic reasons the mind generates. The story smoothly adapts new experience into the framework of beliefs. These confabulations create security by not disrupting beliefs about the self. But unchecked they become the foundation of destroying deceptions, deceiving ourselves and others.
If a person believes they are courageous, then cowardice behaviors are easily justified, excusing the behavior to external causes. Exposing hidden emotional motivations also exposes distorting confabulations. Discovering the justifying confabulations allows for work to discredit them. We then can address the underlying problems propelling our lives in undesired directions.
Consciously recognizing emotional reactions, investigating subconscious beliefs provoking those emotions, and then consciously challenging the detrimental beliefs is the path to freedom, loosening the chains of bondage to the unseen personal causes holding us back. We can escape the painful patterns that prevent achieving of intentions.
Slow down, recognize the hidden motivations, determine whether they are destructive, and then choose a better path to growth.


text: I've owned a MyTouch 3G since the day it came out (really early August 2009). I've never had any major problems with the phone, until now. The phone keeps saying I have no service where I am at. It has been doing this for about 3 days. Normally, the phone will show that there's no service once in a rare while, and then come back to showing I have 3-4 bars where I live. Lately, though, it says there is no service where I live, and does not change/update that there is ever a connection, like I am in a dead zone constantly. If I reboot the phone, it shows 3-4 bars (as it should), but then seems to die after about an hour, despite not moving the phone. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks!

Jesus' miracles
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Jesus life in todays world is the miracles. Where they just tricks to please the crowd? Did he actually perform miracles like healing the sick and raising the dead? Why did he turn water into wine?
Once again a great deal hangs on who Jesus is. If Jesus is divine (God) then he has the power to change anything. It has been pointed out that miracles are called such because they break the normal rules of physics, if they didn't then they wouldn't be miracles. Does God do this?
This section explores the miracles of Jesus.

Cheers to Mary Karr and 'Lit'
LIT, by Mary Karr. Harper, 386 pp., $25.99.
Writing students to whom I've assigned "The Liars Club," Mary Karr's bestselling 1993 memoir of her insanely dysfunctional East Texas childhood, occasionally complain that it's too long. I don't disagree. But which wild, heartbreaking story would you leave behind? Which precision-crafted paragraph? Have you ever read language at once so exquisite and so raunchy?
Now there's "Lit," the third installment in the Karr saga, following "Cherry," the story of her adolescence. "Lit" shares all the important characters and many of the virtues of "The Liars Club," as well as its signal flaw - at nearly 400 pages, it's sprawly. This book could be the basis for a 12-hour documentary called "Behind the Scenes at the Making of 'The Liars Club.' " ("Lit" is the smarter title: lit as in literature, lit as in loaded and lit as in glowing with holy ardor. Nice.)
The book traces the author's path from confused college girl to drunk, unhappily married poet to sober, super-spiritual Queen of American Memoir. Along the way there are guest appearances by Louise Glück, Tobias Wolff, the late David Foster Wallace (once the author's boyfriend), John Irving, Czeslaw Milosz (identified by nationality and eyebrows, not name) and others.
It opens with a letter to the author's son, Dev. Bad idea - this sappy letter doesn't quite sound like the Karr we know. Fortunately, a second prologue hits the mark, depicting a half-crocked young mother sitting on her fire escape with a bottle and a pack of cigs, dreading that her 4-year-old will wake up or her husband will come home.
Then we whoosh back in time to where "Cherry" left off: 17-year-old Karr gives up her slacker life in California and heads off to college in the Midwest. This involves a road trip with her mother where they get smashed every night and read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" out loud. When she gets to school, she's annoyed by her privileged, down-jacketed classmates but discovers antidotes in binge drinking, therapy and the poetry scene. She goes to grad school, marries a poet from a rich WASP family (Michael Milburn, called Warren here), resents them, drinks. Her beloved Daddy begins dying. Her mom gets sober. She has a blackout car wreck, then discovers AA and prayer. And guess what happens?
"I know people needier and way more deserving have prayed far harder for stuff they needed more: to feed starving children, say, to get a negative biopsy result. Nonetheless, it's a stone fact that - within a week or so of my starting to pray - a man I don't know calls me from the Whiting Foundation to give me a $35,000 prize I hadn't applied for."
You'll have to swallow a lot more stuff like this to get through the next 200 pages, during which the author becomes a Catholic, writes her memoir and takes over the world. But I predict you will. As much as "Lit" tried my patience at times, it gave even this confirmed atheist a kick in the spiritual butt.

These Christmas Farewell poems are examples of Christmas poems about Farewell. These are the best examples of Christmas Farewell poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
The poem(s) are below...
I was wiping the dust off an old snow globe in the upstairs attic, when a mop of honey-blonde hair suddenly appeared through the wooden flooring.
"I thought I'd find you here," said the voice, warm and feminine. It was a lovely contrast to the thoughts that bloomed inside my head. The little red Santa smiling gaily, his gloved hand forever frozen in a wave. Truth be told it was over a hundred degrees outside, and up here in this cobweb-ridden place (by God) was practically unbearable.
But as I lightly shook the fragile keepsake I found myself dashing through the snow like I once did so many years ago. I heard the sound of high pitched laughter from afar, out in the sultry day (most likely the neighbor kids playing tag through a sprinkler-soaked lawn). But there, at that precise moment, I was taking the road before me, and singing a chorus or two.
"You miss him don't ya?" the voice broke me out of my thoughts, and for a moment I just stared at her as if she had a left over piece of spinach in her teeth. I nodded quietly in the silence and rubbed the smooth curvature of the glass with my thumb. It somehow felt cold, as if winter wonderland was still trapped inside.
I knew I hadn't stayed too long, though I knew my wife would be patient throughout this ordeal, however long it took. She didn't need to recite any famous sayings to pick me up, just her being there was enough. It was the unspoken truth between us, and it was always enough.
"Cody and Angie will be downstairs when you're ready to head out."
"I'm ready now. I was just doing a little cleaning up." It wasn't quite a lie. It was one of those statements we use to say one thing and mean the other. The attic was "okay", but I knew of more dire things in need of some organization.
Beth went down the ladder first, naturally. Then it was me, a bit awkwardly, still holding the snow globe. We both came into the living room, where our children sat waiting. Cody was playing some handheld video-game in his Hawaiian swimming trunks. Angie was quietly giggling at something her friend said, via text. Her blue bathing suit was barely more than a strap, and I knew I was this close from losing it. But this was a happy day, so I let it slide, just this once.
"Are you still not ready?" asked Angie.
I looked down at my blue work jeans and buttoned-up t-shirt. My wife gave her a fierce look, as if willing her to take back what she said. It didn't really matter though ... my emotions were spent.
"I was gonna change when we got there," I said, a bit defeated.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes and plopped her phone right there on the couch. I just stood there like a lifeless statue, while my family got everything ready to head to the local pool. My wife was as patient as a snail, but the kids bustled about as if they've been down here a lifetime. Cody was mad when Beth took the game-boy from his hand, just before some big important checkpoint. Angie was calling Beth completely unfair for not letting her invite Tom over to come swim as well. My wife told her, "This is a family event, no exceptions, and for Pete's sake, listen to me for just this once!"
I just stood there, in quiet grief. Their voices were mere sounds, plastic and surreal, and I went along with it as if everything was alright. But it wasn't alright. The world was falling apart all around me, miraculously still turning, and I just stood there! Finally I reached for the doorknob, when I realized I still had the snow globe in my hand.
I looked at it longingly, with affection, and it came to me. A slightly crazy idea. Not the kind where it's life or death, but the fact that it was a spur of the moment decision, it felt totally crazy. I placed the snow globe on the mantel above the fireplace, where the glass caught the sun just right and the jolly Santa shone a brilliant red.
Allow me this simple pleasure, I asked God in silence. Let the neighbors gawk and smirk all they want. Let the kids think their father's going senile, thinking it's December and not August. I didn't care. I just watched the little flakes twinkle through out the water-filled dome.
I displayed it proudly, knowing that good will, kindness and love were never out of season. So I picked myself up out of my gloomy state, got inside the car, and slid into the driver's seat. "Alright, let's go!" I said cheerfully, and everyone looked surprised.
"Dad, is everything … okay?" asked Cody, from behind. But no answer was necessary. I just smiled, and looked across at Beth without a care in the world.
And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
First Published in Dual Coast Magazine Issue #3
NOTE: I've written a few short stories, but this one is special to me. It was well received by my family, and I was so excited to discover it was accepted by a magazine. It was my first non-poem to be published.

To be in a young America ~
visions of a ship upcoming statue of Liberty
the young lad holding tightly to his Mothers leg
in all excitement of a new Land to call their own
celebrations of apple pie and fireworks on the 4th of July
thoughts of the old Hollywood on screen
films without 3-D costing less then a dollar
Greta , Monroe , Betty Davis eyes tantalizing blue glare
The Wizard of Oz or books written by Steinbach, Capote, Mark Twain
exciting new visions of creating new concepts
before Capitalism bought all little ones to bigger
songs came from the hills of Virginia to the black Mountains
surfacing in Tennessee for all to hear and wish to see
The day when one travelled by car on the road travelled
every town a story told , learning history we once shed blood
American Indian tears to the British man whom choose freedom of taxes
Boston held a tea party , now wishing they threw out marmite instead
The day when we knew our neighbors and bought homes with a paystub
Everyone had a chance to make their own with pride , even through wars
When Martin Luther King stood proudly as did President Lincoln for Freedom
How many streets have been named after the man whom had a dream ?
When milk was delivered on doorsteps in Glass bottles
Babies wanting the very first of the top being cream
leaving doors open , watching news with your family at 6pm

Just a day
"Good Night Mom and Dad" I said before I went to bed. "We love you" they said as they closed the door
Mom comes in and wakes me up "Time to go to school" as my feet hit the floor
I got dressed and ate breakfast and got my book bag and now we are on the go
We sit in the car listening to music "It's Friday I think I'm a little excited tho
"Alright baby we here" as mom open the door to let me get out
She closed the door and kissed me on the head told me she loved me before she pulled off
Another day of school and it close to Christmas
I can't wait to see Ashley and Alexus, today is show and tell as I said in a whisper
We had learning center day and Boy! Was it fun!
Today was a free day and on Friday there isn't much to learn
The room was quite when the was a knock at the door, the door opened
A man with a big gun was standing there; my classmates panicked and started to run
I heard a lot of noises and a lot of screams
I felt a sharp pain in my back as I dropped to my knees
In the distant I heard more screams and then everything went silent
Then I closed my eyes it went dark and on the cold floor I was dying
The other side
It's Thursday night and off to bed we go
I kiss my 5 year old son Jaden and told him I loved him so
Alarm clock goes off and it's around 6:15 in the morning
I shower got dress and woke up Jaden my little darling
Its Friday, I fixed him breakfast and we headed out for the this last day until the weekend
I enjoyed our little drives to school as we sat in the car singing
I opened the door to let him out once more
Kissed him on the head and told him I loved him ill pick him up around four
I'm at work drinking coffee just talked to my husband on the phone
Got at my desk started to work and the my office phone rung
It's about 9:30 and it was Jaden's school
I got the news he was dead and I started to puke
I'm crying uncontrollably don't know my next move
My son is dead, I can't believe this news
I hurried to the school in the best of my ability
I saw the school surrounded by medics, reporters, and police
I ran to a officer and demanded to see my son
He said "I'm sorry ma'am" I can't do this at this time
At 9:32 my one and only son Jaden was pronounced dead
The shooter was 20 and took my son's life in his own hands
The questions continue to flow through my head as I search for answers
I don't need answers I need my son and his laughter
I am now sitting on his bed trying to swallow tears
My husband holds me close as reality nears
My little boy is gone among the other 19 kids
Heaven has 20 new angels now I hope he knew how much I love him as much as I did

Life on a hitchhike
A cool drool drip slid to the corner of a slit shut
mouth. Eyes that once FLASHED reared back and humbled
into occular armpits, no explanation. Hands that once
felt warmth and high hopes slowly tremmored twitching
careless as unmatter of fact. I watch the
flesh depart, skin crawling with old breakfast
sausage patty indifference. Postage due----Royal flesh
does not win. Careful. External refuse
hidden bonds confide in mass abuse of internal
bliss like factory worker, paydayholiday Friday. Say
goodbye like used coffee grounds At last gasp I
set sockets against a blank ceiling scanning with
eyes aglee and a wave in omnidirectional fervor.
Too finite? Numb and neutral with nothing at stake
I praise a restless content over a form boring of
less than glib compose and promote a position of
erectile tissue and ooooze about time , space
swaying to and fro for this invisible temptation

The first of many Christmas's will come without you here
I know it is the happiest time of the year
But not for our family will it be that way
For you wont be there that day
You wont be in your chair watching the kids play with thier toys
You wont be saying hay come here boys
Grandpa has a special gift just for you
An then say the same thing to the girls too
As you hug each one tight as you hand it to them
each one specialy picked as if they where rare gems
Everyone will be missing your smile
An I know it will be that way for quite a while

Christmas is a busy time,
Commercialized therefore I am skint,
Cant afford to feed myself,
So its soggy sandwiches and mints.
The big day is one week away,
Yet I seem not to be excited,
For I cant wait to see the back of this year,
New Years I'll be delighted.
So many great people have been lost,
So many great people have been found,
But the pain etched in my memories,
Are for the ones laid to rest in the ground.
So all alone I wait for Christmas,
No hat upon my head,
What cheer it is, spread through the year,
None for me, as my friends are all dead.

First ghost was his wife,
to whom he was sworn,
fading, thin, bandaged,
in the far northern city.
tubed in another world or no world.
Nurses and social worker
urged him to chose life.
But the deep promises linger,
in pictures with cheery captions
from his children.
He tosses in bed
and lets the quilt
slide off his legs.

These Christmas lights shine no more
Except in the hearts of women and men
Burning bristly until the festive season comes again
Bringing us joy and warmth and a touch of snow
I love this special time
As families come together sometimes from afar
To reunite in a song or two
And to enjoy the gifts of our prosperity
The final touch is added
A lovely turkey that is complete with trimmings
This wonderful season so soon is gone
However the spirit of love
Well, it carries on

The world's leading economies are set to diverge as they recover from the global economic crisis, with the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia gaining pace while China, Britain, France and India slowing down, the OECD said on Monday.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said the forecasts were based on its composite leading indicators (CLI) index.
The indices for China and another emerging market powerhouse, Brazil, "continue to point strongly downwards, edging below the long term trend and implying that the level of industrial production will fall below its longer-term trend," the report said.
In the United States, the government reported last month that the economy grew at a modest 2.0 percent in the third quarter after a pace of 1.7 percent in the second.
Analysts described third-quarter activity as tepid and unlikely to make a serious dent in the country's 9.6 percent rate of unemployment.
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner nevertheless said on Monday that chances were lower of a US "double-dip" recession than at any time in the last 12 months.
"Things are gradually getting stronger in the US," he told a business audience in New Delhi, where he was accompranying US President Barack Obama on an official visit.
"Chances of a double-dip recession look lower than they have been over the last three, six to 12 months," he said.
"The basic tone of the numbers suggest some modest strengthening of growth."
But overall lackluster prospects last week prompted the US Federal Reserve to resume a controversial stimulus initiative through which it intends to inject 600 billion dollars (422.5 billion euros) into the economy through the purchase of Treasury securities and other assets held by banks.
The move sparked criticism from governments around the world, notably China, where the decision was seen as a bid to weaken the dollar as a means of boosting US exports at the expense of Washington's competitors.
A protracted Chinese slowdown would be of major concern to the United States and the European Union, which look to the Chinese market as a critical export outlet.
World stock markets picked up last week after manufacturing activity in China was reported to have hit a six-month high in October.
The Chinese economy grew 9.6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, down from 10.3 percent in the second and 11.9 in the first in the face of government efforts to rein in property prices and bank lending.
But the World Bank last Wednesday boosted its 2010 growth forecast for China to 10 percent, while warning that global tensions over trade imbalances could cast a shadow over the rosy economic outlook.
The bank based its new prediction on what it termed the "still surprisingly strong" 9.6-percent growth in the third quarter and said the prospects for the world's second-largest economy "remain sound."
Elsewhere in Asia the Bank of Japan recently downgraded its 2010 growth forecast to 2.1 percent from 2.6 percent, warning that the pace of recovery was likely to slow in the second half.
The bank last week held off on approving extra monetary easing measures while issuing a downbeat report on the world's number three economy.
"Japan's economy still shows signs of moderate recovery, but the recovery seems to be pausing. Exports and production have recently been more or less flat," the bank said.
In Europe, Germany is again seen as a growth engine. The government last month more than doubled its forecast for output this year and predicted a steady expansion in 2011.
Europe's top economy is poised to grow by 3.4 percent in 2010 before slowing next year to 1.8 percent, Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said.
This represented a major revision from the government's previous forecasts made in April, of 1.4 percent and 1.6 percent respectively.
Bruederle said that after a strong impulse from exports, domestic demand would contribute much more to growth next year. "The recovery is standing solidly on two legs."
On Monday Berlin reported that German sales abroad rose by 3.0 percent in September. Compared with data for September last year exports surged by 22.5 percent.
In Britain, where radical spending cuts are planned, fears of a double dip recession eased last month when it was reported that the economy grew by a robust 0.8 percent in the third quarter.
The quarterly figure, which was double market expectations, was largely the result of gains in services, construction and production, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
On a 12-month comparison, third-quarter growth hit 2.8 percent, the strongest reading since 2007.

Top architecture students awarded
L. Mason Rattray of Unitec's architecture department was announced as the winner of the 2016 NZIA Central Innovation Student Design Awards following two days of presentations and judging at TSB Arena in Wellington.
The 12 finalists at the awards were drawn from New Zealand's three schools of architecture at Victoria University of Wellington, the University of Auckland and Unitec.
Rattray's competition-winning project presented a new dairy farming model for India that aims to improve the living and working conditions of farm workers and provide a means of upskilling and empowering lower-caste workers.
In the farm's design, Rattray drew upon his own background growing up on a dairy farm in Otorohanga and his extensive experience living and working in India. He attended Otorohanga College before earning a qualification in construction technology and management in Denmark.
"Ostensibly, this project is about the planning and construction of dairy farms in India," the awards jury said, "but its real concern is how lives can be rapidly improved through a holistic combination of agriculture and society." Rattray is currently involved in the design and construction of a pilot dairy farm north of Delhi.
The jury made two Highly Commended Awards. One went to Danielle Koni, from the University of Auckland, for a project that proposed a sequence of interlaced lakescape buildings on Ngati Whakaue land near Lake Rotorua.
Elyjana Roach, from Victoria University of Wellington, was also highly commended for a project that envisions a better future for her hometown of Porirua, which is deep-rooted in community engagement. The jury was impressed with Roach's "infectious enthusiasm for her city and her skills as a communicator and as a strategic thinker."
This year's awards were judged by Christina van Bohemen, President of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, Stephen McDougall, a director of Wellington-based architecture firm Studio Pacific Architecture, and Australian architect Melonie Bijl-Smith.
Evident among finalists at this year's awards was a level of personal connection to place or subject in each scheme, said jury convenor Christina van Bohemen.
"There were recurring themes, too, including social and environmental sustainability, community engagement and commentary on urban and environmental conditions. The presentation of these propositions was rich, varied and professional and stands the profession in good stead for the future," van Bohemen said.
Full list of finalists below with high schools attended:
UNITEC Department of Architecture:
- L. Mason Rattray (Otorohanga College) – winner
- Shaun Goddard (Sacred Heart College Auckland)
- Elizabeth Milne (Wellington East Girls College)
- Kyle Ramsay (New Plymouth Boys High School)
Victoria University of Wellington:

Your fearful hands
Things I have learned so far from pregnancy:
Despite thrice daily bastings of Bio Oil since we started trying to conceive I developed vicious stretch marks on my stomach before my bump even properly formed. There is no way to avoid stretch marks if you're prone to them.
Despite daily pelvic floor exercises since I was a teenager, I have discovered that a sneeze whilst relaxed can lead me to wet myself. Awesome.
These annoyances I can handle. As far as I'm concerned, pregnancy brings unexpected joys and unexpected challenges. The best we can do is be well educated, well prepared and not too uptight about it because from the minute we announce our joyful news we are sandblasted with advice, opinion, old wives tales and if we're lucky - second hand baby swag. (Thanks Laura!)
At some stage, I think all pregnant women naturally get defensive about their choices and beliefs and with hormones - it's easy to get pretty vocal about that too. The main thing though, is to accept advice gracefully, especially from people who care about you.
I am lucky to know many, many people who have been pregnant and am so grateful for all the input I get. Even if their advice is outdated. What I don't like is judgement - and that's the other thing that happens. I have had friends devastated by comments on those mumsnet forums or by their baby groups because they couldn't or wouldn't breastfeed, or breastfed longer than others deemed appropriate. And why? Because some people are just plain fucking awful or ignorant.
How have I prepared for this pregnancy?
My two best female friends are a paramedic and a GP, my best male friend is a vagina (sorry Tom, couldn't resist! Haha!), almost all of my friends have had one or more children already and 7 of them are midwives, nutritionists or work in childcare. I listen to everything they have to say with an open mind and learn from it.
Is dyeing my hair, drinking caffeine, eating mould-ripened cheese, having the occasional glass of wine, wearing a seatbelt, or taking a bath over 100 degrees before 16 weeks have passed guaranteed to harm me or my child? No - of course not. There are no guarantees - even taking a knitting needle to your stomach whilst sat in a boiling bath and drinking gin isn't guaranteed to end a pregnancy.
But do I understand the risks involved in all of these things and why they are not recommended? Yes - I take nothing at face value and research everything thoroughly before I take it on board or dismiss it. Do I judge anyone who eats pate or wears an underwired bra whilst pregnant? No - part of being a parent is making your own choices. Do I open discussion about it? Sure because if you care about someone, you want the best for them and unless you ask someone about their opinions, you don't know if they are making their decision based on ignorance or not. Even better - you might learn something as a result of it.
I want my pregnancy to be as stress-free and positive as possible. I was at a high risk for miscarriage so I chose to research everything thoroughly, and take no risks. I am pleased to say that I made it to 20 weeks with no issues except for SPD and I'm looking forward to my next scan on Wednesday. I'm hoping for a girl with all of my heart - not because I want a doll to dress in frilly pink dresses - I believe in gender neutrality when it comes to raising children, but because I simply believe that I am meant to have a girl.
The main thing that I believe? My baby has not read the baby books, so whilst every parent should explore their preferences for sleeping arrangements, labour, feeding and carrying... we should be aware that the baby might want to co-sleep, might have to be formula fed, might not wean when you expect them to, might hate a sling and love a pram and might not think the routine that suits you, suits them.
I have decided to breastfeed (if I can) and therefore I have researched my birthing plan around giving myself the best possible chance for achieving that. From my friends experiences and from what the Ina May and La Leche League books have told me I now have a whole host of potential technical issues to be prepared for - from tongue ties, blocked ducts and under/over supply to reflux, positioning and engorgement.
I have also learned about the impact of cutting the cord too early and not having skin-to-skin time. Of having IV fluids and drugs during birth, of the position I deliver in and whether it's a c-section, forceps, episiotomy or a natural vaginal delivery.
I want a natural birth with no medial intervention, but I accept that this is my first birth (second pregnancy) and that, again, the baby will make her own mind up about how and when she comes.
I would like to use hypnobirthing and a birthing pool to keep me calm, focused and in an upright position to allow gravity to work with my body. Being put on my back for the convenience of medical professionals will make my labour longer, more painful and more likely to require pain relief. Of course, I know that being able to use a birthing pool depends on whether I am overdue or not as meconium in my waters or having blood pressure issues will mean it's not an option.
I want minimal cervical exams to avoid risk of infection. With a gentle birth, people have been known to deliver at only 8 centimetres and I believe if instinct tells me I can push, then I am ready to push. Equally, I don't want to be forced to push until I feel ready to minimise tearing. I want no induction, no forced water breaking, no epidural and no c-section: even if the baby is breach. Unless the baby is in serious distress and labour is not progressing, I am determined to do this myself with no forceps or episiotomy.
My baby is to be immediately placed on my bare chest after delivery to ensure minimal distress to the baby and maximum bonding. I want time to smell her, stroke her, look into her eyes, and for her to feel my heart rate. If she roots to feed, she should be allowed to latch on immediately before being removed for cleaning and weighing and measuring. Any vernix is to be rubbed into skin rather than wiped off to minimise skin peeling and irritation. I will insist that the cord has stopped pulsing completely before being cut so the remaining 3/4 of the baby's blood has been restored to her body and her iron levels are high. I also want the baby to be weighed stomach down, and if IV fluids have been given to me during labour (against my wishes as it can cause nipple distortion) - then that needs to be taken into account so that the health visitor doesn't think the baby is heavier than she actually is and therefore give me bad advice about feeding.
I aim to breastfeed for at least 6 months, hopefully 12 and then introduce baby-led weaning. I intend to make my own baby food rather than buy it.
I aim to baby-carry with a fabric sling, though I have a pram too (thanks Laura!)
I aim to co-sleep, though have the baby next to the bed, not in bed with us.
I will also not let any smoker hold my child until they are at least 6 months old.
And now... bring on the advice! What are your regrets - if you have any?

You are so clued up, I'm in awe! It took me 3 babies (6 pregnancies) to get the same level of knowledge and acceptance :)
It's brilliant you've written all this down. Later when you're sleep deprived, maybe doubting yourself and in need of a boost you will have this wonderful advice to look at, from the best person to help you: you.
For what it's worth,as your baby grows I believe in staying informed, whilst trusting your instincts to do what's best for them. And not doing house work while they sleep. ;)
Best of luck from a co-sleeping, breasfteeding, buggy-pushing, bleary-eyed mum (@birdfortytwo) x

Oh wow - thanks honey! I can partially blame OCD on being so prepared. I never do anything by halves because it takes a lot of reassurance sometimes for my brain to accept my own decisions.
Even if all of my hopes turn out not to be met - it will be good to look back on this and see how different it is, or what else I've learned from my own experiences. xxx

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Sempervirens Fund, Los Altos, CA, USA
Sempervirens Fund has preserved over 50,000 acres of redwood forest and is now acting on an extraordinary vision of turning the Santa Cruz Mountains of coastal northern California into a "Great Park" as large as National Parks in Utah. Our region is heavily populated - the Great Park will not only preserve trees and rare habitats. but will preserve the sanity of the San Francisco Peninsula residents for all time. The "Great Park" will forever preserve a beautiful natural area from development.

Forget the set of drawers, it's the chair we're talking about here, specifically the Condesa chair by Sentou Edition. It's a take on the 'basket' chair common in the 1960s. Only this one has a structure in black powder coated solid steel with epoxy resin, while the seat is in plastic rope with UV protection. Which means it's good for in, out or in your conservatory. Three colour options, all selling for £305.

Healing With Plant Spirit Medicine
Could the potency and mystery of ancient shamanic healing with plant spirits provide medicine for the illnesses?
The shamanic view is a deeply spiritual view in which the questions of health, illness and healing are always seen as involving spiritual dynamics. The natural world is seen as having great awareness and wisdom and offers profound help in seeing what's needed and also supplies it.
Conventional western medicine, and also many modalities seen as "alternative" but still based on a western approach, draw upon the capacities inherent in a western view of how the world works, which, you could say these days, is primarily mechanical. The human body is seen as a kind of mechanism and if something is missing an attempt is made to replace it. Or if something is not functioning properly, an effort is made to repair it in a mechanical way. Even in the case of mental or emotional illness, the popular view these days is that it all relates to brain chemistry and can best be dealt with by introducing certain chemicals into the brain in order to alter its functioning.
Consider the way a health condition is assessed. The western approach might include producing x-rays or taking blood tests. But shamanic healing is based on an entirely different view of how the world works, what a human being's relationship to the world is, what illness is all about and what kind of resources are available for healing. In shamanic healing, the healer may find himself or herself primarily informed through dreams, which give access to capacities in human beings that we normally don't have when we're awake. Therefore, comparing a western modality to shamanic healing, the approach to bringing relief can come from very different directions.
Whether you live in a mountain cabin or a city loft, the healing power of plants—not merely their physical medicinal properties—offer us the gifts of a deeper wisdom to resolve challenges in our own healing journey and restore balance. This is Plant Spirit Medicine—an ancient medicine that produces healing purely through good relationship with the natural world.
Plant Spirit Medicine gives paramount importance to the spirit, the mysterious core of our lives. This mysterious healing weaves into our relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, community, ancestors, worldview and the forces of the divine natural world.
Like a guitar with one string out of tune or a computer with a virus, even a small dissonance can change the functioning of the whole.
Classical Chinese medicine teaches that the balance of energies is health and that imbalance is illness. And what we refer to as the symptoms of the illness are messengers that call attention to the imbalance and sometimes very forcefully create situations where the person realizes there's something to be attended to.
Many people these days are deeply unsatisfied with the work they're doing and find that they have to live a life that is out of balance with human nature. That can and does create illness—for instance, something like an ulcer. That's not a metaphor. It's a real physical illness. I think almost anybody could agree that an illness of that sort is an expression of stress in your life. In other words, there is a cause of the symptom that is not purely mechanical and it has to do with a person's life being out of balance. Too much stress.
When your heart is touched by the medicine of a plant spirit, you feel the love and wisdom of the natural world which brings about balance. When balance is achieved, symptoms will disappear and harmony is restored.
We all yearn to be free of illness. And we long to feel connected—to our spirit, to each other and to the natural world. Might it not be worthwhile to consider our relationships with Plants?

Alfred Hawks left Snodland in Kent with his new bride Sarah to take up as Headmaster of the Church School, which is now the Sandcastles Nursery. This was in 1875. They lived in the school house which was on the site of Runwood House, on the corner of Common Hall Lane, and here they brought up eight children - Fred, Gus, Leslie (my Father), Kate, Elsie, Doris, Minnie and Edith. During this time he was choirmaster and organist at St James The Less Church and he was also a councillor. On his retirement in 1918, a large piece of land was purchased in Chapel Lane where Holbro House was built. [No. 40, still standing.]
Two special wedding anniversaries were celebrated on the large lawn at Holbro House - their Golden Wedding in 1925 and their Diamond Wedding in 1935. I was a grandson at the Golden Wedding, age two on mothers lap. (Photo below).
See the page 'National Schools 1855-1924' for details of the School.

I too remember Mr Hawks as Sayers Cottage was almost opposite Holboro House. I can picture him even now standing on the balcony early morning in his dressing gown enjoying the view across the Thames for at that time one could, on occasion see the end of Southend Pier. I expect Ian will remember me as I worked with him for a while at L.A.T.H.O.
David, I remember those days at L.A.T.H.O. but unable to place you. Somewhere I have some photos taken at the oil terminal, if I find them I will send them to you. Ian {firstname.lastname@example.com }
It appears from the burial records of St James church that Alfred and Sarah had twin girls who both died soon after birth, October 1885. They were baptised Margaret and Maude. Thanks for the information Chris.
I've Lived in Holborn House for 18 years and we are just about to sell it so if anyone has info of the history of the house please let me know!

Pull Your Weeds, Not Your Back, When Gardening
As springtime approaches, weather warms up and leaves turn green, many people will spend more time outside planting bulbs, mowing the lawn and pulling weeds. Gardening can provide a great workout, but with all the bending, twisting, reaching and pulling, your body may not be ready for exercise of the garden variety.
Gardening can be enjoyable, but it is important to stretch your muscles before reaching for your gardening tools. The back, upper legs, shoulders, and wrists are all major muscle groups affected when using your green thumb.
A warm-up and cool-down period is as important in gardening as it is for any other physical activity," said Dr. Scott Bautch of the American Chiropractic Association's (ACA) Council on Occupational Health. "Performing simple stretches during these periods will help alleviate injuries, pain and stiffness."
To make gardening as fun and enjoyable as possible, it is important to prepare your body for this type of physical activity. The following stretches will help to alleviate muscle pain after a day spent in your garden.
Garden Fitness Stretches
- Before stretching for any activity, breathe in and out, slowly and rhythmically; do not bounce or jerk your body, and stretch as far and as comfortably as you can. Do not follow the no pain, no gain rule. Stretching should not be painful. While sitting, prop your heel on a stool or step, keeping the knees straight. Lean forward until you feel a stretch in the back of the thigh, or the hamstring muscle. Hold this position for 15 seconds. Do this once more and repeat with the other leg.
- Stand up, balance yourself, and grab the front of your ankle from behind. Pull your heel towards your buttocks and hold the position for 15 seconds. Do this again and repeat with the other leg.
- While standing, weave your fingers together above your head with the palms up. Lean to one side for 10 seconds, then to the other. Repeat this stretch three times.
- Do the "Hug your best friend." Wrap your arms around yourself and rotate to one side, stretching as far as you can comfortably go. Hold for 10 seconds and reverse. Repeat two or three times.
Finally, be aware of your body technique, body form and correct posture while gardening. Kneel, don't bend, and alternate your stance and movements as often as possible to keep the muscles and body balanced.
When the Bulbs Are Planted…
If you already feel muscle aches and pains and did not complete the warm-up and cool-down stretches, there are ways to alleviate the discomfort. Apply a cold pack on the area of pain for the first 48 hours or apply a heat pack after 48 hours, and consider chiropractic care.
Swiss Chard Au Gratin
- 2 bunches or 8 cups packed of organic Swiss chard leaves
- ½ cup organic Chicken stock or broth (substitute vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon unrefined organic Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted organic Butter (to coat the baking dish)
- 1 cup organic Almond milk (can be made in Vitamix with ¼ almonds + ¾ water)
- 2 tablespoons organic unrefined flour of choice
- ½ teaspoon of Himalyan salt
- ½ – 1 teaspoon of Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of Nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon of Paprika
- Freshly ground black Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated of organic Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 tablespoon of Bread crumbs (preferable sprouted and organic bread)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place chard leaves in a saucepan with the stock and cook over medium heat until leaves are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Set chard aside. In the same saucepan, heat coconut oil and butter over medium heat. When butter has melted, whisk in the flour until blended. Whisk constantly for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and reserved cooking liquid. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add all seasonings and stir in half of the grated cheese. Stir in the cooked chard and transfer to a buttered 9×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbling. Serve immediately.

Whether intentionally placed or the result of nature, logs are a common obstacle on trails. Smaller logs are easy to ride over, but larger logs, or logs that are partially elevate off the ground can be an intimidating obstacle for the average rider. The skill is relatively simple if you take the time to start small and progress your way up to larger objects.
For this skill, starting with a 2×4 and progressing to a 4×4 then a small log is a great way to work your way up to an actual log. When you practicing on the small obstacles, works on precision — see if you can get over the object without touching it at all, or just skimming it.
Once you have it perfected, move on to the larger obstacle.
Set up
Assume the ready position and look ahead to the top of the log as you approach it at a jogging speed. Stay relaxed.
Front wheel
Just as you approach the log, compress then explode the front wheel up onto the top of the log.
Rear wheel
Once your front tire is over the log, shift your weight towards the front of your bike allowing your rear tire to lift up and over the log.
Un-weight the handlebar as the front wheel rolls down back to the trail to minimize fork compression and allow a smooth front wheel roll-out — remember to keep looking forward.
That's it — enjoy!
