Forty-six civil bodies, having six municipal corporations, will participate in municipal elections today in Rajasthan, the State Election Commission (RESC) official said yesterday. RESC Commissioner Ramlubhaya informed that Polling will be conducted from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in 1,680 wards of 46 municipal bodies in which 7,375 candidates are fighting. Navdeep Singh, Special Additional Director and General of Police (Law and Order) said that over 35,000 rendered personnel of state police, Rajasthan Armed Constabulary and Home Guards will be positioned to assure free and fair elections.
In elections, Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) will be used to record votes in the Polls and results will be declared on November 25. Later on the next day of result, Elections for Municipal Chairman and Mayors in six corporations will take place. Six municipal corporations including Jaipur, Kota, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Bharatpur and Udaipur, 18 municipal councils, and 22 municipalities will attend elections in circle of five years.
Approx. 63.09 lakh voters are registered to use their votes as 'Brahmastra for corrupt leaders' at 6,135 polling booths in 1,680 wards. Candidates have been chosen in almost every ward from both the National Parties, BJP and Congress. Ten candidates of the ruling BJP and six of the opposition party Congress were selected unopposed in civic elections due to withdrawal of their nominations from Municipal Corporation elections on November 15, 2014
Congress will repeat the same strategy which they followed during last elections. They will not depend upon star nominees but will concentrate on micro-level campaigning. For this, a team of observers has been made to choose candidates. On other side, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has approved Rs. 87 crores for growth of various urban areas under different civic bodies during their campaign strategy. They are also putting stress on the funds provided by the state government to various civic bodies.
What are the Possibilities?
Initial ground reports suggest that Congress and BJP will have a close fight during these elections. Pre-poll survey reports suggest that the BJP will marginally take lead over Congress; BJP may get 46.82 percent of votes while INC may acquire 45.08 percent of votes. Other (including regional parties, national parties, and Independents) may garner 8.10 percent of votes. According to beliefs of Political analysts, 'Others' may turn a deciding component during the shaping of different civic bodies.
Tecake team requests all the voters to get out of their comfort zone and vote for their leader as it is the most decisive factor in the elections. Every vote counts and it will help making a better government.

Items: Graco-branded drop-side cribs made by LaJobi
Description: This recall involves Graco wood cribs. The full-size cribs were sold in cherry, espresso, natural and white finishes. There 30 model numbers affected. For the complete list, see cpsc.gov.
How many: About 217,000
Hazard: The drop-side hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach and creating a hazardous gap between the drop side and the crib mattress, in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing a risk of suffocation and strangulation. In addition, children can fall from the cribs when the drop side detaches or fails to lock. CPSC and LaJobi have received 99 reports of drop-side incidents. Two children became entrapped in the gap, but both were freed. There were six reports of children falling due to drop-side failure, including one mild concussion.
Sold at: Children's product stores and other retailers nationwide from February 2007 to March 2010 for between $140 and $200.
Remedy: Immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact LaJobi to receive a free hardware retrofit kit that will immobilize the drop side. The CPSC urges parents and caregivers to find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. For additional information, contact LaJobi at (888) 842-2215 anytime or go to LaJobi.com.

Dear Friends:
I find this most interesting, May I observe?
If there are mental images, then there has to be a thinker who evolves
The thinker employs some force to design, frame and animate them, what
would that be, and how would it be used ?
are the Thinker and his thoughts, and the surroundings, are all part
of a single CONSCIOUSNESS ?
There have to be memories as well. And the power to recollect or
evoke them ?
There has thus, to be also the power of anticipation. How Would That
be Based ?
Also there has to be some kind of substance (s) on which they are
The thinker has also the power to alter them.
At present, it would seem that most thinkers we are aware of, reside
in bodies of various kinds: matter, electro-magnetic patterns, life
currents, desires, thoughts, and finally, of universal and impersonal
facts that are seemingly invariable.
We might call these last, the basis of WISDOM and of UNIVERSAL MEMORY
/ MIND. [Perhaps these are the "seeds. ? and, or "reality ?"]
It is not unreasonable to assume that our mental perception, arising
in the material plane, is self-limited.
However if that mind (or myself in the here and now) can envisage
residence and activity in other levels of substance, and, if those are
in correlation with each other and the physical, then each thinker may
be an individualized CONSCIOUSNESS with faculties that are drawn from
the whole of the Universe ( Nature ). Is this a commonly experienced
"reality ?"
Are not noumena ( causes ) connected with "phenomena" (effects) on
various planes, as the effects which choice and change bring about ?
Are not certain correlated "planes" also affected ?
What would be so extraordinary as to find that individual Thinkers are
inevitably all linked ?
Finally what kind of force (s) or objective (s) cause (s) the UNIVERSE
( NATURE ) to be ?
Is that connected with my and your "existence ?"

Subject: Re to Steve - Phenomena & Noumena
Hi Steve. Having read your ideas on Kant before, I was pretty sure
that you
were Mauri's mystery person.
<<<Very close. The way Kant, who coined the word, defined it,
noumenon refers
to something which can be thought but not experienced directly through
senses. Phenomena refers to representations in consciousness of
reality (again in Kant's usage.) We can only experience our conscious
representations of physical reality and not the reality itself (the
thing-in-itself or ding-an-such). >>>
We can think of a rabbit with horns, etc, things that have no "real"
except as mental images. Are these also noumena? I would think so.
The Mind Only school of Tibetan Buddhism also teaches that external
are all conscious respresentations, projections from the alayavijnana.
say that all possible experience is due to the seeds stored in the
alayavijnana. And all schools of Mahayana Buddhism agree that there is
thing-in-itself to experience. It is very unfortunate that Blavatsky
was so
vague on this.
<<<We can, however, if we are objective idealists, infer the existence
of the
ding-an-sich at thesame time that we cannot directly experience it.
therefore becomes a type of noumenon. I found Kant so hard to
understand that I had to refer to Dewey's explanations to get this.>>>
OK, but I think that I am more of a subjective idealist, and I do not
that phenomena or noumena can exist independently of the mind that
conceives/perceives them. One reason I say this is because in
meditation we
can transcend phenomena and noumena. If they are "real" it is hard for
me to
see how such a trancendence would be possible. The mind can be raised
spiritual formless states suggesting that mind has a "real" existence
phenomena/noumena do not.
<<<This split between representations in consciousness (phenomena) and
objective reality being represented in consciousness (noumena) is what
Hindus call maya. Every Theosophist with whom I have communicated
denies that
the split exists.>>>
Interesting. These "representations in consciousness" sound like the
taught by the early Mind-Only folks like Dharmakirti. He taught that
of consciousness were the bridge between external but non-material
monads and
conscious experience. Intriguing line of thought there...
Most Theosophists are of the opinion that maya is simply sensory
illusion as
taught in modern science classes. I have been trying to show that is
it much
more than this, but only a few seem to understand. According to many
Buddhists, the very experience of an external reality that seems to be
independent or different from the mind experiencing it is maya. And
this is
true no matter what plane we are on. Dream contents always seem to
independent of our mind, and even in lucid dreaming we can control
them but
cannot unite with them owing to our countless past lives of mayavic
experiencing. But after we wake from a dream, we realize that they had
to be
mental projections. Buddhists claim that after enlightenment, which is
waking up to mayavic illusion, we will realize that this is true on
planes. Something to think on, anyway.
<<<So suppose there are such things as elemental spirits and they are
connected with forces. We can think the but not perceive them. Thus
they are
a type of noumenon, since that is how the word is defined. If we
develop the
ability clairvoyantly to perceive them then the elementals cease to be
noumenal and become phenomenal - thus the idea of "planes" of
This is certainly one valid way to look at it. The beauty of "reality"
is that
it can be modeled in so many ways. When we transcend phonomena on one
the noumena of the next plane becomes our phenomena and so on up the
There is no valid reason to reify the planes and posit some kind of
independent objective reality to them as Blavastky did in the SD. I
can see
where our experiences can be modeled either way.

Subs? Yes!Pizzas? YES!!PASTAS? YESSSSS!!!!!!!!BURGERS?? ABSOLUTELY.These guys have a buffalo wing pizza! Seriously, I didn't expect the amazing selection, but they have A LOT to offer! And the best part is that the chef excels in everything he makes. The subs that I've ordered easily beat Subway or Quiznos, and the pizzas are TO DIE for. They easily beat any mainstream pizza places that rely on grease to make their pizzas look more appetizing. The burgers are average, I will admit, but they're the only burger delivery place nearby my house; I'll definitely deal with that! Overall, these guys are excellent and really should get more attention. I order from them almost every 3 days or so. If you want unique menu items delivered to your house, just order from here! They also have seafood, but I've never tried it.

Artist Spotlight- Dmitriy Samohin
Dmitriy Samohin is a Ukrainian tattoo artist who has been tattooing for well over a decade. He didn't get into tattooing as an apprentice, nor did he have aspirations of becoming an artist when he was young. While in the army, Dmitriy happened across a tattoo magazine and became intrigued by the art from. He wanted to create on skin what others have done on canvas, and so he decided to start teaching himself how to tattoo. His talents are largely natural and entirely self-taught, which makes his work all the more impressive. He's well-known for his realism work but, as you'll see in the gallery below, Dmitriy can design any style of tattoo your heart desires. He's an eclectic tattoo artist who primarily works out of Odessa, Ukraine and if you're ever able to get a tattoo designed by him we highly suggest taking him up on the opportunity. Odessa, Ukraine.

Artist Spotlight – Maggie Cho Brophy
Maggie Cho Brophy is one of those artists who prefers to focus more on her art than herself. You won't find a biography or about page on her website, but you will find plenty of her pieces that show off her unique art style. As you will see in the gallery below, Maggie's black-and-grey tattoo style is very unique in its hand-drawn look and style. Most of them look like they've been done with a pencil, which makes a lot of sense when you check out her portfolio site and see the paper and canvas work she does too.

Designing Mobile Apps for Visually Impaired and Blind Users
Although mobile devices include accessibility features available for visually impaired users, the user interface of the majority of the mobile apps is designed for sighted people. It is clear that "Design for Usability" differs depending if the final user is a sighted user or a visually impaired user. This paper introduces the concept of "Low Vision Mobile App Portal", which provides a way to access mobile apps specifically designed for visually impaired users. Some design aspects will be described. Preliminary results show some of the low vision controls specifically design for visually impaired users.

1779 Tasting Notes
So I finished up this tea, but I'm still at 155 because a co-worker gave me about 6 cups of Teavana's Monkey Picked Oolong that she has too much of, and I couldn't say no.
I was prety blah about finishing the whole thing, especially after it cooled a bit and there was this sour citrusy note that I wasn't keen on, but then I broke my rules and added a dash of milk and the whole thing transformed into a very pleasant milk chocolate sorta tea. I guess that's the only way to drink it!
I won't order any more though. I still haven't found the best chocolate orange, and maybe I just won't.
cavo. 2 friends is where it's at. When you move here, we can order some in a big batch from Stacy :)
This smells like the GREATEST COCONUT TEA EVER.
Update: It tastes like the greatest coconut tea too!
The base is very smooth, but the coconut has a bit of roastiness to it that's appreciated. The chocolate notes peek out as it cools. I would gush about this more, but I've got 20 min of work left before I manage 6 busses/skytrains so I can get the baby from daycare and home. Mondays are not great days in that respect, but the tea has been pretty sublime.
I can't believe I'm only a few teas into my H&S order and I'm already make notes about my next order. RIDICULOUS. How can it be so good?
I'm listening to Mumford&Sons while I drink this and that's also making today nice.
This tea is a BEAUTY! And another little sipdown. (155)
I don't normally care for green teas, and jasmine isn't really my thing either, but I guess the guys at H&S noticed I'd only ordered blacks and gave me this and a white tea as a sample (possibly in an effort to convert me over).
It's very grassy and silky and greeeeeen. I like it. I don't love it though – it's fantastic for when i'm in the mood for a green, but probably not something I'd stock up on. Maybe my taste preferences will change and I'll drink less blacks in the future but that's where I am now.
Thanks to Sil for the sample, and the easy sipdown! (156)
So I can't cheat with this and read the description, which is unsettling. What am I drinking? What should I be looking for? Well… it's a black tea?
It's also a little heavy, like the cinnamon swirl. I should have checked to see if there was puerh in the leaves, but now I'll never know. It's amber coloured and smells slightly sweet too. Hmmm… It's a bit rich? It's tasty? It's MYSTERIOUS. I wouldn't say no to more of this either, but I think I'd rather just drink the Cinnamon Swirl since it's incredible!
I decided to try this iced, although I've enough left to try it hot later on.
So far it tastes like bark – that special type of bark I associate with white teas, especially DT's Cookie Dough. It's a little creamy, and it's a bit sweet, but I'm not really getting chocolate from it. I'll try it hot before I rate it.
ETA: I drank the second half of my sample hot. (154) It is MUCH better this way. I still get that barky-white tea taste, but this reminds me much more of white chocolate. This is sweeter, and creamier and very good.
Now if only I were crazy about white chocolate! :P I just had to try it though. Just because.
Eeee! I'm so excited to try this one after reading Terri HarpLady's tasting notes! And she sent me some and it's in my hands and I smelling the wonderful cinnamon and sweet potato aroma wafting from my cup! Thank you!
And it's every bit as good as I had hoped it would. It's warm and comforting but with enough of a cinnamonyzing that I don't want to get too comfortable. So satisfying. And I can really taste the sweet potato! That just seems like such an odd add-in but it's so great.
Man, but why? Why does Adagio have to be so awesome and let people make all the fandom teas at fairly reasonable prices, and then be so awful when it comes to customer service? Even if the shipping charges weren't astronomical for us poor Canadians, hearing things like this: http://steepster.com/biancag/posts/179849 makes me not want to give them my money even if I could afford the shipping. :| Seriously – they should just say they don't ship to Canada if they don't want to support International customers fairly anyway.
(oh but this tea is so good… why????)
This is a strange looking assam – it's ground completely up into little bits! It makes me think of coffee. I had it before and wasn't wowed by it, so I thought I'd try cold-steeping it overnight. It wasn't enough – I needed a touch of agave nectar and now it's drinkable. Far from amazing, but drinkable! :)
Still it won't go to waste and I'm happy to have tried it. Thanks KittyLovesTea!
My tealog might not indicate it as I did a lot of re-steeping, but I drank a lot of tea today! I even managed to sneak this one in as a sipdown too. (157)
I have so much honeybush though. I feel like I need to get other bedtime options besides 20-30 honeybush and/or rooibos blends. :P
This is really good. The base is very sweet and fruity and it reminds me of the mouthfeel I got from Tardis. There's a bit of astringency at the end of each sip, but it's pleasant. The bergamot is just a touch strong, but it seemed to mellow out as it cooled a bit.
Yes. I think Steven Smith teas are something to keep an eye out for! Hard to say whether I like this more than Tardis, or Mount Gray as they have similiar profiles, yet are still unique. Stock up on all three?

HAMBURG, April 5 (Reuters) - Dubai-based airline and shipping services group dnata is looking at acquisition opportunities in the Americas, Africa and Asia to make its flight catering business truly global as the industry consolidates, its divisional chief said.
"Our airline customers operate on a global basis and they're seeking consistency," dnata Catering Chief Executive Robin Padgett told Reuters at a trade fair in Hamburg.
"But as a service industry we've tended to operate almost as mom and pop operations and very few are able to give a global offering."
He said dnata, which is part of Emirates Group and competes in flight catering with Lufthansa's LSG and Austria's Do&Co, had already played a part in consolidation with acquisitions such as Alpha Flight Group in 2010. The sector is now once again consolidating, driven especially by China's HNA Group, which recently took over European firms Gate Group and Servair.
"We want to beef up and give a wider spread to our customer base," Padgett said.
The catering industry is also grappling with more and more carriers shifting to buy-on-board options for food, forcing them to rethink strategies and invest in retail options.
Padgett said buy-on-board was now the norm for short-haul and predicted it could soon take hold on long-haul flights, especially with the increasing number of low-cost long-haul carriers.
"I think long-haul retail, if executed properly, will go down very well," he said.
He also expects pre-order meal services will become more popular among airlines, highlighting how they give airlines more certainty in terms of revenue and lead to less waste.
In Europe, such services are already common on charter carriers but they are becoming more popular elsewhere. Ryanair has started offering a hot cooked breakfast as a pre-order option on early flights from Dublin, while Air Berlin also has a pre-order menu for economy passengers on long-haul flights on top of their standard meals.
"What we haven't done is give a reason for pre-ordering - are you, as the customer, going to get a better deal from pre-ordering?" Padgett said. (Reporting by Victoria Bryan; Editing by Greg Mahlich)

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
By Ben Fox Rubin
Priceline.com Inc.'s (PCLN) fourth-quarter earnings rose 28% as the online travel agent's international bookings business continued to show strength, as did its rental-car sales.
Shares rose 4.6% after hours to $709.33 as the company's adjusted earnings came in ahead of guidance. As of Tuesday's close, the stock was up 6% over the past three months.
The company has reported stronger quarterly earnings for several years on growth in its hotel-bookings business, especially for international bookings. Priceline's heavy reliance on the hotel business has helped protect its revenue from a recent pullback in air travel, which makes up a smaller share of its sales.
Priceline in November agreed to buy Kayak Software Corp. (KYAK) in a deal that values the online-travel aggregator at $1.8 billion in cash and stock. The purchase, which was unveiled just a few months after Kayak debuted as a public company, should give Priceline a leading source of online travel advertising revenue and a large base of new site traffic.
Gross bookings rose 33%. International bookings were up 40%, though that increase was below the 66% rise posted a year earlier. Domestic bookings improved 4.4%.
The company posted a profit of $288.7 million, or $5.63 a share, up from $225.7 million, or $4.41 a share, a year earlier. Excluding restricted stock adjustments and other items, earnings rose to $6.77 a share from $5.37. Revenue jumped 20% to $1.19 billion.
In November, the company forecast adjusted earnings of $6.12 to $6.57 a share on revenue growth of about 15% to 22%.
Gross margin rose to 78.9% from 73.1%.
Hotel-room nights sold rose 38% from a year earlier. Rental-car days sold were up 37%. Airline ticket volume was up 1.7%.
The company predicted first-quarter adjusted earnings of $4.90 to $5.30 a share on revenue growth of about 17% to 24%. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters most recently expected $5.14 a share and 19% growth.

The latest incidents happened Thursday when an estimated 100 people drowned in the Mediterranean Sea after two rubber dinghies collapsed, the UN refugee agency said, citing reports from the Italian coastguard. In October, UNHCR declared 2016 the deadliest year ever for migrants trying to reach Europe on the Mediterranean route, when the fatality mark hit 3,800. Deaths have surged this year because migrant smugglers are increasingly using poor quality vessels while also trying to pack more people on boats, possibly to raise profits, UNHCR has said.

The Dustbin-lid, Barrel or Root-mouthed Jellyfish, Rhizostoma octopus (Linnaeus), comes in a variety of colours; and its shape will vary depending on the way it has been washed ashore; and according to how long it has lain on the strandline.
This jellyfish species can be blue or, like the pictures in today's posting, pink. The photographs show both upper and under surface views, together with a few explanations about its anatomy.
Jellyfish are Coelenterates; and this particular type belongs to the Class Scyphozoa. The large free-floating medusoid form is the dominant individual in the life cycle.
The bell, dome or umbrella can be up to 90 centimetres across, which seems quite big but is small in comparison with the 2 metre diameter of another Scyphozoan called Cyanea arctica – which (thankfully) lives in the Arctic Ocean and not on British beaches.
Most Scyphozoans live in coastal waters where they can create problems for swimmers. The presence of stinging cells called nematocysts make encounters with these jellyfish unpleasant and sometimes dangerous. However, it is important to emphasise that the Dustbin-lid Jellyfish does not have have the circle of trailing stinging tentacles around the perimeter of the bell like the ones in some other more harmful types of jellyfish. There are stinging cells scattered on the outer surface of the bell (ex-umbrella or aboral surface) and on some of the mouth parts. The stinging cells immobilise small fish and planktonic animals that the jellyfish captures and eats.
The bell or dome is filled with a firm, gelatinous, and fibrous substance called the mesoglea. This is thick in the middle but around the edge it thins out to form a more flexible, thinner area like a loose-hanging pelmet. You can see this in the picture above. This thinner outer perimeter of the dome is scalloped into lobes called marginal velar lappets. The edges of the lappets are coloured purple. This jellyfish has a generalised nerve net type of nervous system with synapses; there are specialised sense organs grouped into structures called rhopalia located around the margin between the lappets.
The jellyfish has a muscular system. It moves by means of a band of powerful circular fibres that form the corona muscle around the underside edge of the bell (sub-umbrella or oral surface). When the corona muscle contracts the animal moves upwards through the water. When the muscle relaxes the animal sinks. The overall effect is one of pulsating movement. Sideways locomotion is through wave and current action and the animal has no control over this.
Looking at the underside of the Dustbin-lid Jellyfish you can see that the animal design is based on multiples of four, that is tetramerous symmetry. Beneath the bell – but unfortunately not properly visible in this particular specimen – is a large four-sided tubular manubrium that has a short, pillar-like, basal stem and sixteen epaulets – each with frilled mouth openings.
Beneath the epaulets, the manubrium divides into four pairs of oral arms. These are clearly visible in the photographs radiating out from a central point. Each arm consists of three winged portions; and three winged and elongated terminal appendages. The arms have many mouth openings. All the mouths carry food through the manubrium into a stomach cavity with four gastric pouches housed in the dome.
I think that's more than enough anatomical information for one post. I will continue with the details regarding digestion and reproduction together with more pictures at another time.

Well, we are home.
We got home yesterday actually. We were supposed to drive from Dijon and stay the night at St Quentin, then trundle home at a leisurely pace today but I was a bit speedy on the Autoroute and we arrived at our planned destination at 1:30 pm. DH and I looked at each other, neither of us fancied another night in a cheap hotel and having to unpack, then pack the car again the next morning.
We ascertained we could change our Eurotunnel booking, the threatened strike had not come to pass, we had until 7pm to cancel the hotel and the kids wanted to get home too so we went for it. It only took an extra 4 hours driving and we were home by 6:30. Bliss. read more

Shimmering Sanding Sugar
I was tempted this afternoon by these jars of sanding sugar at Williams-Sonoma in Bridgehampton. The gold sugar will decorate birthday cupcakes for my daughter next week. Today, I made these Cherry-Vanilla Biscotti and sprinkled them with the white sugar, which gave the cookies a sparkling and deliciously crunchy crust. Here's the recipe:
Cherry Vanilla Biscotti
Makes 48 cookies
3/4 cup pecan halves
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup coarse white sanding sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool, and then coarsely chop. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 of the whole eggs, the egg yolks, and the vanilla and mix until a dough forms. Mix in the chopped pecans and cherries.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, divide into two equal pieces, and shape each piece into a flat log about 18 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the parchment-lined baking sheet, at least 3 inches apart.
4. Beat the remaining whole egg and brush it over the dough. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar. Bake until the logs are firm to the touch, about 35 minutes.
5. Let the logs cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, transfer to a cutting board, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices on their sides back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the oven to crisp up, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

"Best treatment ever..."
About: Bolton NHS Foundation Trust Bolton NHS Foundation Trust Bolton BL4 0JR
Posted via NHS Choices
After poor treatment over the past few years from the NHS I aimed to avoid hospital for my upcoming birth. Opting for a homebirth until my body had different ideas so hospital became my only option. From entering the hospital I was treated with the most passion and respect and most importantly empathy. My midwife was fantastic, kept me well informed and at ease and comfortable, they respected all my wishes and did everything they possibly could to make my birth as pleasant as it could be. The Dr's I saw were also informative and again showed so much empathy. Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff. Once transferred to main ward, again, treated fantastically. Not a single bad word to say about the Maternity departments, incredible!
