The UK's Financial Conduct Authority published its third annual Business Plan in March 2015. For the first time, the FCA's Risk Outlook (which has historically been published as a separate document) has been incorporated within the body of the Business Plan. John Griffith-Jones notes in his Chairman's foreword that, "that will more clearly show how our analysis of risk is connected to our regulatory actions and how we seek to advance our objectives".
Practical advice
Authorised firms and those applying for regulatory permissions are encouraged to consider carefully the implications of the FCA's Business Plan and Risk Outlook for their businesses. Regard should be had to the seven areas of focus in the Risk Outlook:
- Technology;
- Poor culture and controls;
- Large back books;
- Pensions, retirement income products and distribution methods which may deliver poor consumer outcomes;
- Poor culture and practice in consumer credit affordability assessments which could result in unaffordable debt;
- The range of issues that need to be considered in unfair contract terms is given sharper focus; and
- The importance of firms' systems and controls in preventing financial crime.
Boards and senior management should be aware that conduct risk remains a key area of FCA focus. Firms should review their own business models and risk assessments to ensure that they are appropriately identifying and managing risks within their business.

State Director, Americans for Prosperity Charleston, 32
Wendy McCuskey has several loves, but one in particular brought the Austin, Texas native to the Mountain State for good.
McCuskey, 32, of Charleston, fell in love with a fellow lover of politics, making her decision to settle in West Virginia an easy one. McCuskey attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, where she majored in political science.
Her role as the state director for Americans for Prosperity, although a new one, is something the political go-getter is passionate about.
"Politics follow me everywhere," she said simply.
McCuskey explained that AFP is an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels. AFP activists advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint.
She says she enjoys her job so much, she never feels overwhelmed and is lucky to love what she's doing enough that it doesn't feel like a job. But for stress relief, she cleans.
Once part of George W. Bush's campaign trail, McCuskey said she met her husband, Delegate John B. McCuskey, R-Kanawha, while on the job. She then located in Kanawha County for love, and the pair have been married for eight years. McCuskey said although the couple has no children, she has a very spoiled dog named Sidney.

Spain's government had to pay out higher rates Thursday to auction off nearly four billion euros ($5.8 billion) of bonds amid deep concerns in the European debt markets over Greece.
Demand was strong for the Spanish government bonds as investors applied for a total of 10.3 billion euros of debt, but the government had to offer higher returns.
Debt markets appeared nervous after Moody's Investors Service sharply downgraded Greece's debt and warned that the odds of a Greek debt-default were 50-50.
The Treasury sold a total of 3.953 billion euros in three and four-year government bonds.
It sold 2.753 billion euros three-year bonds with an average annual return, or yield, of 4.037 percent, up from 3.568 percent at the last comparable auction on April 7.
The Treasury also sold 1.2 billion euros in four-year bonds at an average yield of 4.230 percent, up sharply from 2.964 percent at the last comparable auction on September 2, 2010.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – A poll finds New York City voters overwhelmingly support a plan to put the New York Police Department under the scrutiny of an outside watchdog.
The Quinnipiac University poll finds that majorities of all racial groups and both sexes support creating the position of inspector general to independently monitor the police department.
"New Yorkers overwhelmingly favor the idea of an inspector general for the police department, 66 to 25," said Maurice Carroll, Quinnipiac University Polling Director.
White voters support the independent police monitor by a margin of 53 to 38 percent. More than three out of four black and Hispanic voters support the proposal.

Global Future 2045 is a one of a kind congress, premised on the notion that the world stands on the brink of global change. In order for civilization to move to a higher stage of development, humanity vitally needs a scientific revolution and significant spiritual changes that will be inseparably linked, supporting and supplementing each other.
GF2045 discussions will include global challenges and science mega-projects to address them and insights on these matters from various spiritual traditions. The main focus will be the Avatar project, which includes the development of anthropomorphic robots, telepresence systems, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), life-support systems for the brain, neuroprostheses, whole brain modeling, consciousness theory, and roadmaps for non-biological mind substrates.
Speakers will include IEET Fellows Ben Goertzel and Natasha Vita-More, as well as well-known figures like Marvin Minsky, George Church, and Ray Kurzweil.
More action, lesss talk!
Like Carboncopies.org, the 2045 Initiative is organized around a roadmap, projects, research labs and progress. The Global Future 2045 Congress (GF2045) in New York is bringing great minds together to focus on the 2045 Initiative. This focus distinguishes it in important ways from a general transhumanist conference in which a collection of topics are presented.
You want to know how you are going to get that robot body? Those neural implants? That brain-machine interface? Those neural prostheses? And how to upload your mind into an emulated brain?
Well, those are the objectives that GF2045 will demonstrate and discuss: The technological approaches for complete access to and adaptation of BODY and BRAIN. We bring together the experts who are carrying out research and creating new tools that fill in the pieces of the puzzle that feasibly accomplishes all of those objectives: Dr. George Church (Harvard, synthetic biology), Dr. Ed Boyden (MIT, neurotechnology/optogenetics), Dr. Ted Berger (USC, neuroprosthetics), and more,researchers and developers who together represent the cutting edge of each of the crucial pillars of a roadmap. You'll notice it is an unusual conference in terms of the experts present, speakers you would otherwise find only at a scientific neuroscience conference. Not coincidentally, they are the ones who are referenced most often in my previous talks, such as my talk about Reverse Engineering the brain at TEDxTallinn and about Substrate-Independent Minds in Melbourne, and they are the ones who headed to the White House with the proposals that led to the BRAIN Initiative.
Come to the Global Future 2045 Congress, June 15-16 at the Lincoln Center in New York City, and join the action: http://gf2045.com/

What to Do When You Need $100, Fast
A new poll from Bloomberg suggests that almost half of Americans would have a hard time affording a $100 emergency, like a speeding ticket, medical bill, or other unexpected expense. Consider the idea that maybe this says less about the financial habits of Americans than it does our garbage economy.

to write a note in the reading diary saying...(191 Posts)
...that my DTDs are not going to read their reading books this holiday.
DTDs are in Yr 2. They each have 4 reading scheme books for the Easter holidays. At home, DTD1 is currently reading the first Harry Potter book, and DTD2 is reading The BFG. I am very very happy to listen to them reading these, and to write which chapters they've read in their reading diaries, but they find their school reading books so dull. WIBU to not make them read their reading books over the holidays but to listen to them reading their own choice of books instead?
As long as they are reading i dont see a problem tbh
YABU really yes.
Dull or not, it won't take more than a few minutes for them to read their school books.
The sooner they get on and do this, the sooner they will become free readers and will be able to read their own books.
They'll have to get used to reading books they don't particularly like anyway as part of group literacy.
If they are reading, they are reading. Surely that is all the school want to ensure they are doing? IME many children don't read often at home so any reading is good and if they enjoy it more then it should be encouraged by the school. Reading for pleasure is a good thing.
This wouldn't have been a problem to me when I taught Y2
Worra - their school books are about 70 pages long, so longer than a few minutes. DTD2 has one that DTD1 had the week before last - it's about a dog at a football game. Neither twin is interested in football. I don't read books about things I'm not interested in, so why should they?
If it was 1 book each for over the holidays I'd say get on with it. 4 is total overkill.
I'd go with the reading HP and the BFG and if the school don't like it then that's a bit tough. Once they've got to the point where they are able to read independently pretty much anything, then school should let them enjoy their books.
Just write books read, great reading.
DD3 is in reception and reading beyond what is sent home so we Amy or may not read school books but do have evening books we read every night as part of her gong to bed routine, DDs teacher doesn't care less as long as she is learning to love reading.
It might be better to talk about it or suggest it to the teacher rather than telling them what's happening?
It wouldn't be a big enough thing for me to stick my neck out and take the school on about, are you really that blood boiling about it that you want to make a stand?
Sometimes they have to do stuff they don't want to, and reading a few things they're not keen on is hardly going to damage them for life.
X post re reading what we are not interested in.
I ask them to read the first 3 chapters and then move on because. Wouldn't be able to read something that didn't grab my attention.
We have books available all the time at home so school reading is an extra if interested.
We also go to the library for subject books in the holiday if they get a bit bored with being at home/club
I don't read books about things I'm not interested in, so why should they?
Because you're an adult and they are children at school.
I had to read Shakespeare and many other things I wasn't keen on at school as part of a lesson.
Your kids will have to do these things as well and if you're already unsupportive of the school at year 2 level, it's going to be a long journey through their school lives.
In the grand scheme of things it's really not a big deal. Let them knuckle down and do their school reading the same as every other pupil in the class.
HP or any other books can be read for pleasure in their own time.
The point of reading schemes is to get kids to read and enjoy reading. Your dds already are. Win, win!
It is their own time, it's the holidays.
I think 4 books each (so about an hour per book) is way too much. What if they were going away for a week and didn't have time?
I know it's not going to damage them, but I don't really see the point. Their school is very wedded to the reading scheme - I was talking to a friend this morning whose DD is the same kind of level with reading - at her school, the children can take their own books in, and can choose from a box of non-fiction books so that there is something the school can "monitor". At my kids' school, they have to work through the scheme books - they don't just use one scheme, they use several, so the number of books in each level seems endless. My DTDs are on lime books, and they are good girls who do what the teacher says, but they get far more enjoyment from their own books than the reading scheme books, and as a lover of reading, I find it odd that the school would rather DTD2 read the particularly dull "Jam Street Mystery" than enjoyed The BFG or Matilda.
My youngest needs the reading scheme books so if it were him I would definitely stick with them.
My eldest never read his boring reading scheme books, and was freereading early on anyway, because I kept records of his reading up to date (as did he) so his teachers could easily plot progress away from the scheme.
YANBU. So long as you keep the diary up to date. #
I was guilty of writing "My son refuses to read another BIFF & CHIP book on account that they are utterly dull, instead he has read 'x' and is on page y" it was never a problem.
DS2's school take the attitude that whether it's a great classic or a comic it really does not matter. If they have read to you then write it down. I was a little sceptical at first, having had very strict reading policy in DS1's school but DS2 soon became a free reader despite being bored senseless by sodding Biff & Chip due to his love of Harry Potter and Beast Quest.
The OP isn't complaining about there being 4 books
She's complaining that the kids find them dull
Well kids find all sorts of things dull but it doesn't mean they don't have to knuckle down and do them.
I regularly write something similar in the reading diary - my 6 year old reads HP, Cressida Cowell, Roald Dahl etc at home through choice (although tonight went to bed with an atlas) - teacher said not to worry at all, she just likes to know they're reading (and school reading books stay in bags for reading at school). It's the holidays, I'd let them read what they want. Surely they're pretty much free reading if they're coming home with 70 page (I assume chapter) books?
Yes but 1 dull book is all well and good and a bit of time to read one is fair enough. I do agree about their being plenty you have to do/read in school that will be soul-destroyingly boring.
I don't agree with homework during holidays anyway. Holidays are there so pupils and teachers can recharge their batteries a bit before the next term.
If they're particularly wedded to the scheme, can they read their own books first then make a start on the school books?
IME as long as the teacher knows they're reading, they'll be happy.
My DD (now 12) hasn't read a single Harry Potter book, she finds them dull and ridiculous. But she's always read loads - both fiction and non-fiction.
Exactly MissEleanor this is not an either/or situation.
They can quite easily do both...like I'm sure all the other kids do.
I think the teacher is unlikely to mind. S/he is probably more concerned about the kids who never read at home than the ones who are reading Harry Potter and BFG in Year 2.
I know that there will be plenty in school that is dull, but really, at age 6, given that they've discovered the joy of reading, I think it's unnecessary to make them read books they find dull. I enjoy reading, but if I find a book boring, I don't bother to finish it. If someone told me I had to finish it because I just have to, then I would perhaps decide that reading was a bit crap, and I wouldn't want to do it any more. I love that my 6 yr old DTDs are developing a passion for reading. I love that they are reading challenging books, extending their vocabulary and enjoying stories. I would just rather they read their own choice than the boring reading scheme books the school has sent home.

Suspicious Weight - I trust ye not, scales!
Wednesday, February 06, 2013
I've noticed that recently it's been very hard to get what I would consider an accurate weight. The change in eating habits and food types means certain regular bodily functions have changed their timing. Now I never know if I'm carrying "extra" baggage internally :).
I've found that averaging the weight over a 3 day weight period is better than just picking 1 weigh in day and tossing the dice.
I've also noticed that I have to watch my water intake a lot more. Now that I am more active I can become a little dehydrated if I'm not paying attention. Even after all this time, drinking water is not a habit, but something I have to force myself to maintain.
With that being said I think I might be a little dehydrated from yesterday as my morning weight is far lighter than I would have expected. So I'm taking it as a false reading and will ensure I drink plenty today. If I did take it as true today would be my 18kg-weight-loss-iversary. But I think I'll wait till Saturday to be sure. :)

Cheers guys!
I only just measured myself for the first time in AGES last week. From memory it was about 13.5 inches off my entire body. I try not to pay too much attention to the scales these days but after seeing it drop about 700-900g each week it's a hard habit to break.
Now that the bulk of the fat has gone the scales are not really going to tell me much. Just from all the walking on the high incline setting on my treadmill has beefed up my legs so that will be affecting the scales too. I haven't started any strength training on my upper body, yet, due to my bad back. I have a target of 80kg I want to get to before I start but once I do I'm gonna have to rely on the mirror and the tape measure.

I know what you mean, I also watch what exercises I do. I notice when I increase the weights during my workout or add something my muscles respond differently and can throw off the scale also.. along with water intake, and other bodily functions that go haywire... I wish I had a scale like they show on TV that gives a positive thing instead of a number weight... Like Sassy, or Sophisticated.. lol I do like the 3 day average idea though... also do you measure inches?

So happy I read this! I was thinking I gained 5lbs over the weekend but now I realize my bodily functions HAVE changed. I think I'll try the three day average. I'm trying not to let the scale win but those numbers are always at the back of my mind.

You feel good, you are working on your water intake, you have resisted the only-the-scale- is right syndrome.. Great!!
Sometimes I think scales are manufactured by sadistic old crones in a dingy basement somewhere, laughing at our horror every weigh-in!

Convicted molester has 2 counts thrown out, still has 100 year jail sentence
By Emily Saul and Joe Tacopino (New York Post)
December 10, 2015
A court on Wednesday tossed out two counts of sex abuse against a Brooklyn counselor convicted of child molestation — but he will still rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Satmar Hasidic youth counselor Nechemya Weberman, who abused an underage girl from 2007 to 2010, had two of the 59 counts leveled against him thrown out by an appellate court.
The two convictions of sexual abuse in the second degree were overturned because the court found the evidence was not sufficient to support guilt in Counts 45 and 46 of the original indictment.
But Weberman, a 57-year-old father of 10, will still spend the next 100 years locked up.
"I am extremely disappointed and upset with the decision," said Weberman's attorney, George Farkas.


text: Tonight after playing around with getting gamecube games to work I went into the "Emunand" category and gave it a few moments to load as it usually isn't immediate, but nothing showed up at all after a while. I then took a look at the "Nand" channels and they were gone too! Well obviously my "Nand" can't be gone because they are on the Wii itself and those work just fine outside of USB Loader GX, so why is the list missing? This issue began after installing "Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker" for PAL which is also "missing" despite the fact that the Wii tells me it is installed. And yes, I have been able to play and install both Wii Ware and Gamecube games without problem before this. I tried turning it off and on. I also tried playing something else and trying again. I even checked to make sure the Emunand folders are still there (which they are) even though it's an issue viewing any Nand through USB Loader GX.

Crystal City: Tabithas Rescue
Published by fantasy girl in the blog fantasy girl's blog. Views: 121
This is my first propper blog, I really want to pollish this up and lenghten it as I want to submit it into an online magazine I know. This was origonally titled the innocents race, but I changed the ending and the title didn't fit.
heres chapter 1, 2 + 3
Chapter 1
Nothingness as far as the eye could see. where was he? Then he heard screaming, as if someone was shouting for help, he started running faster and faster and faster. Then suddenly, he stopped. He was there, at the wall. It was so tall, taller than you could ever imagen and he stood there, wondering what to do next.
Then heard heard it again, the screaming, it wouldn't stop. But how did he get in. he couldn't climb over and there wasn't a door. So he walked round and round the perimeter of the wall trying to find an entrance. After about ten laps he stopped and collapsed against the wall and he heard a crack surly his weight wouldn't of broken the wall.
The walls started moving, sliding apart to make a door he looked through them and saw a magical city but as he took a step forward the view started to change from that magical view to the sight of a dusty old room. He could see a woman, and a man. He couldn't quite see as the man was in the way but it looked as if he was torturing her with magic or something like that then he said, 'I Randell, evil sorcerer of crystal city, will be king and you Tabitha will be nothing but a mere slave of my fortunes. Mwah ha ha ha ha.' What was he talking about.
'Tom, Tom.' he heard some one shout. He ignored it and kept listening, but then it happened again. He started walking to the man and woman and he slipped over making a load of noise but the couple didn't bat an eyelid, it was if they couldn't see or hear him. 'Tom, wake up Tom, its time for school.'
He was awake. It was only a dream so he got ready for school and left.
Chapter 2
Night after night Tom would have this dream and he started to change. The changes were not noticeable at first but after a few weeks he started to become arrogant, ignorant and very argumentative and his mum was the first to spot his so she confronted him about it and said 'Tom I know you have been through a lot recently with your dad leaving and me having Emma and Kate but if you ever need to talk about things, about what happened with your farther and the stress of school just speak to me.' but this sparked a big argument and he started shouting things like 'you never cared about me,' and 'I wish you were dead.'
His mum calmly walked up to him, sat down beside him and whispered in his ear, 'just hear me out, I'm going to take you to the doctors as I think you not well. I think you have repressed memories or something from when you were younger, you do know you can talk to me, don't you?' Again tom started shouting, calling her every name under the sun and then blurted out,' you know nothing about me, my friends, what I like, don't like, you hate me and you know nothing about my dream!'
As soon as he mentioned his dream he realized what he had done and ran. He ran out of the house and slumped down by a tree on the field opposite his house, he stayed there for hours thinking about how he could cover up what he had said, but nothing came to him. Eventually he walked back and he stayed in his room for the rest of the night.
Chapter 3
The next day on the way to school tom felt something wasn't right. Something in the air, a gut feeling, or just the unusual tension between him and his mum. Know one knew and they still don't today but maybe some day someone will and that would make telling this story a whole lot easier.
Tom was just an ordinary boy, a few mates here and their; family that live close by; that sort of thing. He didn't know it yet but the next few weeks were gonna change his life, forever.
As I said, he kept having this dream. That the queen of a magical kingdom was in trouble. That she was being held captive by an evil sorcerer who was torturing her for some reason. He new that the dream meant something or he wouldn't of felt like this, but know matter how hard he tried to figure it out he couldn't work out what.
The next day Tom's Mum took him to the doctors and per usual it was a waist of time as he opened up to nothing. The weird thing is, the doctor asked him to leave the room so he could talk to his Mum. He listened at the door and while he did, his mum said, 'He blew up at me the other day, he called me all the names under the sun, but thats not him doc' he's not like that. Then afterwards he said, something about a dream, and that I new nothing about it.'
' I can't do any thing about it, he didn't actually say anything to me so for all I know you could be making it up, I'm not calling you a lier or anything but believe it or not it does happen' replied the doctor.
Tom heard someone push a chair a way and walk to the door so he quickly sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall and acted all innocent, even though his Mum new better.
After the doctors tom went out with his mates. They had been playing football for some time but the group soon tired of the game and had wondered in to town. Thick-shakes and chips made up for their excessive activity on the football pitch and now the group slowly strolled in the direction of home.
Suddenly Tom collapsed. His friends fussed around him, trying to find his eppie pen. He could hear his friends shouting at each other but he couldn't do anything. Slowly slipping in and out of conciseness. He woke up and he had no idea where he was, he couldn't move or see, he could just hear people rushing around him and his mum sobbing in the background saying ' my baby boys never going to be the same again.' tom wanted to get up and tell her every thing's gonna be fine but he couldn't and it tore him apart.

Rajamouli's Amaravathi connection rubbished?
Rajamouli created sensation with his dream project Baahubali The Beginning. The film mesmerised all with extravagant sets, stunning visuals. He became the most sought after the film's sensation at international level.
Sometime back rumours spread that AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu who promised to come with world class capital at Amaravathi in Andhra Pradesh, roped in Rajamouli after he was mesmerised by Rajamouli's Mahismati kingdom in Baahubali.
It came out that Chandra Babu appointed Rajamouli as the advisor to the London based architect Nrman Foster, who designed England's Supreme Court, Apple's second campus in California and Masdar City in Abu Dhabi.
Recently informal discussion happened between Rajamouli and APCRDA commissioner Dr.Cherukuri Sreedhar in the presence f Dr.P.Narayana minister for Urban Development. Many are wondering whether Rajamouli who created Mahismati Kingdom with graphics can recreate the same for Amaravathi.
In the meanwhile Rajamouli's dad K.Vijayendra Prasad rubbished all the reports saying " It was too unreal to be true". He even rubbished the above said meeting between the ministers and officials of AP.
He questioned " How can a film director design a city? At the most he may be asked for inputs as a thinking mind and an influential figure in Andhra. It doesn't mean that he is qualified t design a whole city". He even pointed out that " Amaravathi is not a film set and even if architects want the city to resemble Mahismathi, it is not the director they would approach but the art director"
He added "He might have been contacted as one of the many influential figures in Andhra. I guess that being a film director, it makes practical sense to put his name in news reports on Amaravathi"

Memory Training Images from THINKKNIHT
Memory Training Images from THINKKNIHT
Hello memory enthusiasts,
we from THINKKNIHT have created memory training image sets for different topics. Our most popular sets are for the Major System. We have great free sets for beginners and children but also premium sets for new memory athletes and memory coaches.
Our Major System images are coming in both the classic code as well as our improved Visual Major System Code. Each image is in high resolution with a beautiful photo for the code word. Each number gets a vareity of choices to pick from. That way you can build your perfect Major System. Check our our article about the Major System List for 0-9, where we compare our sets with beautiful slideshows.
Please let us know what you think of our sets.
An artist called Kaycie D. has made various illustrations of each of the periodic elements, showing how they could look as a humanoid based on their characteristics ^^ perhaps that could help a bit where/if needed
@Mayarra Yes, I have seen them, they are very beautiful. But ours will be very nice to look at as well. They will come soon.
For now we are happy to announce our latest set:
The Country Cards: America Edition
With our first Class you can remember all Countries and Capitals of America in one of the easiest way we know today. It contains a complete set of 70 unique training cards. 35 of them are labelled with explanations to simplify the learning process. The other 35 training cards are for repeating. You can use them to train alone or in a group.
How they work: Memorize the four keyword images on the lower half of each card, by creating a short and simple story with them. You can improve each story by using memorable associations like emotions, movement, exaggeration, transformation, logic and colours. Try to visualize the scene in front of your eyes. And finally repeat and practise your stories.
- 35 Countries and Capitals America Cards
- Each Card has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels ( Full HD )
- Each card comes in a JPG format
- 35 Countries and Capitals America Legends
- Simple Explanation of each original card
- Each Card has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels ( Full HD )
- Each card comes in a JPG format
Something I think would sell well is a page where you can either choose from predetermined images that fit well for a give number in a 2-digit Major system or a custom upload by the user. Then after it's finalized they can be printed by a printing company that focuses on custom cards, which there are a number of good ones. You might get a good contracted deal for a reduced price based on expected orders or have them compete for a temporary contract. Definitely do some test prints for quality checks. That product is then mailed to the consumer.
Update: Our team from Thinkkniht worked hard on creating complete sets for the Major System. We offer now 1-digit and 2-digit sets for the classic code and our visual code in both English and German. And a Spanish set is already on our to-do list. Each set has variations for each number combination. You'll find all sets at the beginning of this thread.
Please let us now what you think. You can download all our info graphics and 1-digit sets for free.

If this isn't summer I don't know what is. I go back and forth between spring and summer but I think summer is really my favorite time of year. Once the weather starts warming up, travel picks up too and you already know I just can't get enough. Something about July and being in the hot summer sun also sparks my creativity in the kitchen. So if you liked my watermelon lime granita recipe you're going to love these creamy kiwi key lime popsicles.
These babies are made from real ingredients. Not all that junk that you can't sometimes pronounce when you buy popsicles from the grocery store.
Want to know what else? These kiwi key lime popsicles are dairy and sugar-free. Say what now?
Yes! So you can leave that guilt at the door honey.
I've always wanted to try my hand at making homemade popsicles so I scooped up these ice pop molds from Amazon. They were less than $10.00 for six plus you get free shipping if you're with Amazon Prime.

Use whatever blender you have at home but I used my BlendTec (30 second blend), to get this mix nice and frothy- creamy.
Place the green goodness in the freezer overnight and the party will be "on" and popping the next day.
If you're a watermelon fan, you may also want to try my waterlemon lime granita recipe. It's another five ingredient recipe that's cool and refreshing.
- 4 kiwis peeled (reserve one for slicing)
- 1 key lime
- 1 (13.5oz) can coconut milk
- ¼-1/2 cup wild honey (I used ¼ cup)
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Blend 3 kiwis, juice of one key lime, coconut milk, honey and vanilla until frothy (about 30 seconds).
- Use reserved kiwi and slice thinly to place on either side of ice pop molds
- Carefully pour the mixture into the molds and cover making sure to leave at least ½ inch space.
- Freeze overnight and then enjoy.

I had a wonderful vacation at Phuket for 10 days which I am currently organizing some pictures to post soon. It never feels long enough but that's what makes our vacations so special in our lives (well unless you are a celeb or a global jet setter blogger!) As for me, I am happy with our holidays every 6 months, and I thoroughly enjoy the entire planning process including what to pack! This post is for sharing the skincare products that I brought with me on holiday. Since the destination is a hot tropical island, I brought lots of lightweight hydrating and brightening serums/lotions, and because I love taking pictures I like to have products that keep my face looking firm and lifted so more photogenic… Last but not least, lots and lots of sunscreens are a must.
My favorite beach bag is bought here
Using the Bioderma Micelle Water (travel size) for makeup removal. I love the Ren Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel so much so I bought a full size of this. It's a rose-infused gentle gel cleanser with a fresh rose smell that feels extremely soothing and refreshing which makes it a perfect morning cleanser. It doesn't strip any moisture off, and keeps the skin supple and fresh. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is one of my HG cleansers for night time use, so I have to bring a travel size along with me. It's a cleanser and an exfoliator in one that purifies the skin and deep cleans the pores without feeling harsh and drying on the skin. The Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 is a refreshing toner for sweeping away any dead skin cells, and completely removes last traces of dirt and oil collected in your pores. In such a hot weathered place, I prefer to use multiple cleansing products just to keep my skin very clear and clog free.
SERUMS and MOISTURIZERS
I prep my skin with the Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum – it's a highly potent treatment lotion that immediately hydrates the skin and boost the benefits of other skincare products, (detailed review here). Followed by the luxurious Chantecaille Bio Lifting Serum (reviewed here). It's hydrating, soothing, anti-aging and provides a lifting effect to the face. During the day, I also apply the Tracie Martyn Face Resculpting Cream which is their signature product from the line. This is the travel friendly size which was made exclusive for Net-A-Porter. It can be used on the face as well as on the body for an immediate sculpting and firming effect. I have quite mixed feelings about it, as it works much better on the body than on the face for me. If you are after a face firming lotion for less than $100, nothing beats the famous Clarins Shaping Facial Lifting Total V Contouring Serum.
I have dozens of paper masks with me (a mix of high and low end) on holiday, as the plan is to use at least one per day. As ironic as it sounds for spending most of the day at the beach and the pool during vacay, I don't want to be tanned because my skin is prone to pigmentation! So every 2 nights I use the Sulwhasoo Snowise Ex Brightening Mask (reviewed here), It's the best brightening mask I've ever used, as it definitely prevents my face from being tanned under long time sun exposure, and it helps to brighten up by one to one and a half shades after long term use. For hydrating and instant radiance boost, I like to use the SK II Facial Treatment Mask. A budget friendly brand is the Korean SNP Masks. I have used lots of theirs animal masks and liked them all. My favorite has to be the rabbit – it's a multi purpose product that serves as a brightening beauty mask as well as keeping my 3 year old entertained by having a rabbit-faced mommy!
Using the french drugstore brand LA ROCHE-POSAY as they are rated very highly in a Japanese beauty magazine. Overall they are pretty good. The UVIDEA XL Melt In Cream SPF50 PA++++ is for the face that has a milky lotion texture and is non-greasy and feels light weight on the skin without feeling like having sunscreen on. The Anthelios XL Ultra Light Fluid SPF50 (best seller) is for the face and the body. It is slightly richer, so I use it on my body as well as for my son as the formula is made for sensitive skin and feels light on the skin so it doesn't clog the pores and leave a white film on the skin.
Highly recommend the LA ROCHE-POSAY Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm for babies/toddlers. It helps to heal sensitive skin, rashes and insect bites.

I absolutely adore how you drew the pads of her paws <3
This may be my absolute favorite painting of my favorite little creature.
the depth in the eyes is stunning and the pose makes me so happy!
you did a great job! I love it.
I must favorite for those beautiful, petite, soft and squishy little paws and paw pads
My favorite pokemon! I feel it would be impossible to lay off of those poffins/pokepuffs, though. They look so delicious!
Its so adorable
OMG it's paws are just so cute that it's killing me! XD
I just keep feeding her poffins beause I love her so much :C

This is adorable, I love the vibrant blues that you used.
Must... resist... hugging...
Thats so pretty
I saw this a few days ago....you don't know what I've been through to find it again -.- i'm in love with this creature, I'm not even sure what it is, but I'm in love.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you do your shading?
Your draw is Magnificent!! Congratulation I love it!!
how the hell do i get from a warfram stalker picture to this by the "more like this tab"? nonetheless, i am paralyzed by the cuteness...
Aw. That's all I can say. Aw.
ahaha omg that's the most interesting comment I've had on this piece
so precious!
wonderful, i love thos colors, the shading and his/her paws
BEAUTIFUL. i love her paws and the soft colors
Lol XD
I don't why, but whenever I see a Sylveon it just looks more ironically like a male than a female. I don't know, I'm weird. But nice picture, the shading is simply beautiful!
I feel like it will be genderless. Meloetta looks like a girl but is genderless (I was like "WTF!?") lol
Yeah it could be that too, or it could be one of those Pokémon that looks like a specific gender but has both (Like Espeon or Jynx)
yeah, me too, always when i see a sylveon it seems more like a boy too me, i don't really know why xD
Absolutely beautiful.

- Childhood trauma experience (CTE) can include sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as physical or emotional neglect.
- CTE may be an environmental factor for developing psychiatric disorders such as alcohol dependence.
- A new study has found significant rates of CTE among AD inpatients.
Accumulating evidence indicates that childhood trauma experience (CTE) may be an environmental susceptibility factor for a variety of psychiatric disorders, including alcohol dependence (AD). CTE can include sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as physical or emotional neglect. New research on single and multiple CTE among AD individuals undergoing inpatient detoxification and treatment has found significant rates of reported CTE among these individuals.
Results will be published in the June 2012 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View.
"Previous studies have found that alcoholic patients self-report higher rates of physical and sexual abuse in childhood compared to the general population," said Markus Heilig, clinical director at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). "A recent national survey estimated rates of 8.4 percent for physical abuse and 6.0 percent for sexual abuse in the general population. Among alcoholic patients, rates for physical abuse were reported at 24 percent and 33 percent for men and women, respectively, while rates for sexual abuse were reported at 12 percent and 49 percent for men and women, respectively. Importantly, 5.0 percent of men and 23 percent of women experienced both types of abuse, physical and sexual, suggesting that co-occurrence of different abuse types may be important as well."
However, noted Heilig, who is also the corresponding author for the study, much less is known about rates of other types of abuse and neglect, in particular emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.
"Because emotional abuse is difficult to define, and is greatly under-reported compared to physical and sexual abuse, true rates of emotional abuse are unknown," Heilig said. "Many recent studies have linked childhood emotional abuse and neglect to the same long-term consequences as physical and sexual abuse, such as increased rates of depression, anxiety, and even suicide."
Heilig added that he and his colleagues also wanted to look at the effects of experiencing multiple trauma types. "A person who experiences more than one type of abuse or neglect may be more severely affected in the long run and develop more problems later in life," he said. "By looking at a broader range of abuse and neglect types, we were able to investigate these questions."
Heilig and his colleagues examined 196 alcohol inpatients (134 men, 62 women) using structured clinical interviews for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Fourth Edition Axis I disorders as well as the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, which measures all five types of abuse or neglect: physical and sexual abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.
"We had four key findings," said Heilig. "One, patients being treated for AD are likely to have experienced one or more types of childhood abuse and neglect. Two, sexual abuse increases the likelihood of developing anxiety disorders in addition to AD, while emotional abuse increases the likelihood of developing depression. Three, alcoholics who experienced childhood physical abuse may be more likely to have a history of suicide attempts. Four, alcoholics who experienced more than one type of abuse or neglect are especially at risk for developing a psychiatric disorder or for attempting suicide."
"This study clearly shows substantial rates of reported childhood traumatization in treated AD individuals and confirms previously reported clusters of early adversities in the life histories of these patients," observed Willemien Langeland, a freelance trauma researcher at Vrije University in Amsterdam, and at the University of Amsterdam. "From a research standpoint, it is remarkable to see that even within a population of chronic alcoholics in which co-morbid psychiatric disorders are highly prevalent, those individuals with histories of childhood trauma stand out for their degree of psychopathology."
"Our findings demonstrate that childhood emotional abuse is nearly as prevalent among alcoholic patients as physical and sexual abuse," said Heilig, "which is important because it helps to show that emotionally abused children, like those that have been physically or sexually abused, can develop behavioral and other health problems in adulthood. For example, we show that alcoholics who were emotionally abused may be more likely to have co-morbid depression and PTSD, and thus these individuals may be more difficult to treat than those without these disorders. In addition, we also found that alcoholics who experienced more than one type of CTE in childhood are even more at risk for a broad range of psychiatric disorders and for suicide attempts. We call this a 'dose-response' relationship, which means that with each increase in the number of CTE types experienced - the 'dose' - the likelihood of developing a psychiatric disorder - the 'response' - also increases."
Both Heilig and Langeland believe that clinicians need to take greater care when assessing prior life experiences in AD patients. "These highly co-morbid patients reporting cumulative exposure to traumatic stress in childhood are often seen in routine practice," observed Langeland. "These findings point to the importance of a more systematic trauma assessment in alcohol-treatment services. And I also urge clinicians to address alcohol use at every clinical encounter with children and adolescents that have been identified as victims of childhood trauma, as early interventions in abused children might improve their psychological as well as medical health."
"Members of the public shouldn't take lightly the potential effects of emotional abuse in childhood or in any life stage," said Heilig. "Just because there may not be visible physical scars does not mean that no lasting damage has been done."

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- He may not have come in with the biggest reputation at the event, but quarterback Jake Rodrigues (Rocklin, Calif./Whitney) lit up the Elite 11 regional quarterback camp and showed he deserves to be mentioned among the top signal-callers in the country.
Rodrigues has five scholarship offers on the table so he can't be labeled a sleeper; however, you don't see his name mentioned much on a national level but that should change after Friday.
"He has the total package of size, athleticism and arm strength," lead Elite 11 coach Matt James said. "He plays in a spread type offense but would be a good fit in any offense. He can make every throw, he loves to be coached and has a high ceiling and will continue to get better."
Fellow Elite 11 QB coach and former Super Bowl winning QB Trent Dilfer echoed those statements.
"I watched his film and seeing him in person, he's a very impressive player," Dilfer said. "He's what you're looking for and has a great chance to not only make the final Elite 11 but be the best player at that camp."
Rodrigues attended the Elite 11 regional a year ago and he said that definitely helped him prepare for the event this year.
"I knew a lot of the drills and how to prepare for the camp this year," Rodrigues said. "I've been training like crazy for this camp working on my feet, my release, everything. Overall I thought I did pretty well and loved the competition.
"I know a lot of these guys from seeing them at different camps or reading about them and it was a great competing with them. I've known Zach Kline (Danville, Calif./San Ramon Valley) for a while and I know Bart Houston (Concord, Calif./De La Salle) as well. There were a lot of great quarterbacks out here and I'm the kind of guy that thrives on competition. I want to be the best I can be and that only comes from working and I don't want anyone to outwork me."
Rodrigues' recruitment could heat up shortly as more schools have the opportunity to visit him over the spring.
"Oregon just came by my school and said they're very close to offering," Rodrigues said. "They have to run a background check or something but it sounds like it's a done deal and I'm very interested in them. I'm also going to camp with USC and Tennessee and I think I'll camp with Oregon as well.
"I want to make my decision sometime in June or July because I plan to graduate early. I'll graduate in December and then enroll in January so I know I have to speed up the process a little bit. I'm still open to everyone who wants to recruit me, though, and I'm not closing any doors. Hopefully things will pick up and I'll have more options but I'm excited about where things are going right now."
Rodrigues wasn't the only quarterback who had a strong camp. In fact, you can make a strong argument that this Elite 11 regional was the most talent-laden camp in the last five years.
"I honestly feel there could be at least eight kids here who could play in the NFL someday," Dilfer said. "There was so much talent out there that it was tough to choose who should be in the top group. A lot will depend on how hard they work and how sharp they are in picking up an offense, but the raw talent is definitely there."
Oregon checking out Rohach
Moorpark (Calif.) signal-caller Grant Rohach had a solid camp and stayed in the top group all day long. The signal-caller gave an early commitment to Iowa State but will be visited Monday by one of the nation's premier programs.
"Oregon is coming to watch me on Monday," Rohach said. "I'm still very committed to Iowa State but Oregon is one of the best programs in the nation. They have a great offense and you have to take a look at them, but I love Iowa State and that's still my school."
As a junior, Rohach threw for 1,867 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushed for another 331 yards and seven more scores.
Morin lands first offer
Matt Morin (Temecula, Calif./Chaparral) earned QB MVP at the SoCal Nike camp and one prevailing question that came out of the camp was how is this prospect still waiting for his first offer?
That can no longer be said as Morin picked up his first offer last week.
"Colorado State just offered me," Morin said. "It feels great to have this offer, it's like a huge weight off my back. I'm going to camp with USC and I'm also interested in Miami, Washington and Boise State and could visit all of those schools as well."
How did Washington land Lindquist?
Washington pulled of a huge coup when by beating out Stanford for talented quarterback Jeff Lindquist (Mercer Island, Wash./Mercer Island). Both of Lindquist's parents attended UW, and he has a brother who swims for the Cardinal.
"It was a tough decision because I loved both schools," Lindquist said. "My family was very supportive and I didn't feel any pressure from any of them trying to steer me to a certain school. They let me make my own decision and when it came down to it, I just felt like UW was the best fit for me.
"I wanted to stay close to home and I like the pro-style offense at Washington. The school may not be as strong as Stanford academically, but it's still one of the top academic schools in the nation. I like the coaching staff a lot and Steve Sarkisian is a great quarterback coach and I know he'll prepare me to be the best quarterback I can be."
Ferguson looking for offer No. 1
One of the pleasant surprises of the camp was Tyler Ferguson (Bakersfield, Calif./Ridgeview). The signal-caller has the size and mobility colleges covet and had a very impressive performance Friday.
Ferguson is still waiting for his first scholarship offer but it could be right around the corner.
"I'm visiting San Jose State next week and I think they could offer," Ferguson said. "They're definitely showing the most interest in me and I have a high interest in them as well. There are a few other schools I like but San Jose State is right up at the top."
Underclassmen shine
A year ago, it was Rodrigues, Kline and Houston who all shined as underclassmen at the Elite 11 regional QB Camp at Cal and are now among the nation's top quarterback prospects.
On Friday, a handful more underclassmen had very good days and will be ones to watch over the coming seasons.
Cooper Bateman (Salt Lake City, Utah./Cottonwood), Max Browne (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline), Zack Greenlee (Stockton, Calif./Lincoln) and Israel Pao Pao (Oceanside, Calif./Oceanside) were just a few in the talented group of underclassmen who impressed.
Bateman (Utah) and Browne (Washington) are already holding early scholarship offers, while Greenlee has been compared favorably to Kline (the two work out together) and Pao Pao earned all-state underclass honors and is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the state.

Sonex's Onex Panel
Onex is a VERY unique aircraft in that it has folding wings for easy transport. It is a quitessential funplane: it's a single seater, it's easy to store(designed to fit in a standard size garage) and inexpensive!
Airplane link: http://www.sonexaircraft.com/aircraft/onex.html
Few comments about the panel:
There is only 6 3/4 of depth behind the panel so make sure equipment and connections can fit in this little space. I suggest to not to place any instruments deeper than 4 1/2.
There is a 3/4 tall reinforcement at the bottom of the panel. All instruments should be placed above that line.

hi, has anyone heard of lci travel, is it timeshare? also club sunterra
thanks fizzxx
9 Posts
thanks fizzxx
I've spoken to her about them a bit more. Her view was that you would probably get the free holiday, even if you didn't want to make a purchase as a result of the presentation, but it would only be a 'bog-standard' holiday and there would be certain restrictions. If you did decide to buy, you would probably be offered a better holiday. She and her husband had already decided that they did want to buy before they went to the presentation, so the free holiday (to the Costa del Sol) was a nice bonus.
So if you are interested in this type of scheme, it would be worth you going along to see what they have to say, but if you're just after a free holiday, it probably wouldn't be. You might also want to put a post in the 'Timeshare' section of HT to see if other members can offer further advice.
thanks again fizzxx
theres no such thing as a free holiday i wish
miss being abroad, particularly the trips I used to take when my family came out to visit me.
I got a call from LCI Travel in November 2005, offering me a "free" holiday, free car hire, and two flights which was a sticking point because I have three children. I was reassured that LCI was not selling timeshare units, nor was there any obligation to buy holidays through them. I suspected that I would have to buy additional flights through them at inflated prices or that the terms and conditions of my holiday would involve me buying a la carte meals at an exorbitant price.
Not so, we went to a presentation in Rotherham., I wasn't pressurized into buying anything and I did walk away with my holiday as promised. There appear to be both negative and positive comments on the internet about LCI/Sunterra, but I personally would recommend both companies. When I brought this up with their manager he explained that it is a perennial problem when it is so easy for the competition to post negative comments on the internet. I will use Sunterra for my future holidays as having talked to members I believe that they offer better value for money than high street travel agents. When they explain their business model compared to the high street it is not difficult to see why!!
*Edit to restore normal font. Pippy.*
They are a sales and marketing company. What they sell are points to an organisation called Club Sunterra. They do not sell anything else. They take on young students to do cold calling by telephone and then sack them after a few weeks. I know my son was one.
They will tell you they are ABTA and ATOL. They aren't. They operate under the licence of Canaryroute Ltd. ATOL 4160 which shares an address at Citrus House, Lancaster with Club Sunterra and all the various other branches of the Sunterra Empire.
The "free" holiday you are offered requires you to book flights with them. The "free car hire" is a group A car suitable for one dwarf and there are extras to pay like Collision Damage Waiver and local taxes. Upgrades which you will need cost a bomb.
Despite their claims to get massive discounts they don't and you could book flights and car hire much less expensively by yourself and using the internet. So the low cost holiday they offer isn't really a low cost offer and it certainly isn't free.
If you accept the invitation and go to their Rotherham Office you will be shown a presentation about the various advantages of Club Sunterra and then subjected to a hard sell actually lasting in total for about two hours.
If you get past this and then go on the holiday you will be subjected to another hard sell this time lasting longer. People have been known to sign up just to get rid of the constant hassle from the sales staff.
Just ask yourself why they need to do this if the product is a good one?
When you buy a package tour you go to the Travel agent and take away a selection of brochures. Then you go back to the travel agent and tell them which holiday you want. LCI Travel will not let you do this. You have to sign on the spot.
Ask if you can take the contract away so your solicitor can view it - you can't.
They will insist on telling you it isn't timeshare - but timeshare is subject to (not very effective) regulations. Holiday clubs have no regulations at all. One of the packages they sell is called "Explorer" - a trial membership for three years. This isn't subject to any regulations because it is for (just less than) three years.
In fact Euroconsumer is European wide say the biggest complaints they receive are about holiday clubs and the high pressure sales tactics they employ.
Some final thoughts.
Sunterra is an international company based in the USA and has just been taken over by a company called Diamond Resorts. Its European operation based at Citrus House had to pay huge sums to European tax authorities for taking tax off its employees and then not passing it on to the authorities. Total liabilities came to $9.8 million. Their accountants Grant Thornton refused to sign the accounts and resigned.
No-one knows what the future will bring after the takeover. To continue to sell Club Sunterra under these circumstances is immoral. But morality and holiday clubs are words that do not sit easily together.

The Voice of Corporate Finance
Eight new product lines and a fully integrated manufacturing and R&D site to transfer to Elanco, adding to its growing companion animal business; subject to FTC approval and closing of BI/Sanofi asset swap
Today Elanco U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, announced an agreement to acquire Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.'s (BIVI) U.S. feline, canine and rabies vaccines portfolio - as well as a fully integrated manufacturing and R&D site - for $885 million, including the estimated cost of acquired inventory. The deal will diversify Elanco's U.S. companion animal portfolio by complementing its offerings for dogs and cats.
Joining Elanco's U.S. portfolio - which currently includes parasiticides, pain and dermatology medicines - will be routinely administered vaccines for bordetella, Lyme disease, rabies and parvovirus, among others. Also included in the agreement are several pipeline assets.
The Fort Dodge, Iowa-based facility brings capacity to manufacture the acquired products as well as R&D and testing capabilities, including an on-site veterinary research center and lab space.
"We understand the unique bond that owners share with pets and are committed to helping those pets live longer, healthier lives," said Jeff Simmons, president, Elanco Animal Health. "With a growing portfolio addressing both prevention and treatment of disease, Elanco can partner with veterinarians and pet caregivers to do just that."
The acquisition is anticipated to close by early 2017, subject to approval by the Federal Trade Commission and also subject to antitrust approval and closing of Boehringer Ingelheim's asset swap transaction with Sanofi.
The sale of BIVI's U.S. pet vaccines business and Fort Dodge manufacturing site is a required step toward the acquisition of Merial by Boehringer Ingelheim.
The current vaccine portfolio to be acquired has experienced revenue growth over the past three years, and Lilly expects the acquisition to be accretive to GAAP earnings in 2019 and to non-GAAP earnings in 2018.
John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly's chairman, president and chief executive officer, said that the planned acquisition of BIVI's U.S. feline, canine and rabies vaccines portfolio reaffirms Lilly's confidence in Elanco's growth potential.
"As a result of the acquisition, Elanco will bring greater value to customers by providing a suite of options for preventing common diseases in companion animals," said Lechleiter. "Coupled with our robust food animal portfolio, this addition further strengthens Elanco's position in the global animal health business."
Jefferies LLC is acting as the exclusive financial advisor and Paul Hastings LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP are acting as legal advisors to Elanco and Lilly in this transaction.

Every hour on the hour in Krakow, a small brass horn appears from a window at the city's striking Mariacki (St Mary's) Church and sounds a call that stops abruptly in mid-note. Legend has it that during one of the thirteenth-century Tartar raids on Krakow, a watchman took up his horn to warn of an invasion, only to be caught by an arrow in his throat as he blew.
Harry Lime's over-familiar verdict on the Swiss, delivered on top of that ferris wheel in The Third Man, needs updating.
