The Palace of Westminster may have to be abandoned within 20 years unless an extensive programme of repairs and modernisation is agreed, John Bercow has warned.
The Commons Speaker said a "not inconsequential sum of public money" was needed to keep the Houses of Parliament "fit for purpose".
Mr Bercow stressed the need for investment in the historic building over the next decade and said it would be a "huge pity" to have to leave it.
Speaking in Westminster he said: "This is a fabulous institution located in awesome surroundings. It must not have the ethos of a museum.
"It will require bold and imaginative managerial leadership to ensure that we are a Parliament fit for purpose and that this Victorian legacy can be rendered practical for contemporary representation."
Referring to the blaze that burned down the old palace of Westminster in 1834, Mr Bercow said: " It would be a huge pity if we decided that by the time we had reached the 200th anniversary of the vast fire which consumed the old parliament and brought this one in to being, we had to abandon this site and look elsewhere in order to serve the public interest properly.
"Yet I will tell you in all candour that unless management of the very highest quality and a not inconsequential sum of public money are deployed on this estate over the next 10 years, that will be the outcome."
The cost of repairing the Houses of Parliament could top £3 billion, an examination of options for renovating the historic building has suggested.
Dr Richard Ware said last year that it was "not unreasonable" to think the bill could top £2 billion, but BBC2's Newsnight programme claimed that the "working assumption" of insiders was that it could be a billion more.
The Speaker also addressed the "agony" of the controversial process to recruit a new clerk for the House of Commons, insisting he had always believed that splitting the role in two was the right way to proceed.
Mr Bercow led an appointment panel in an external search to replace Sir Robert Rogers, who retired early as clerk last summer after a 40-year Commons career.
The proposed appointment of Australian official Carol Mills was abandoned by Mr Bercow after protests from MPs that she was not able to do the job because she had no knowledge of Commons procedure.
A committee led by former cabinet minister Jack Straw recommended splitting the role, with a director general responsible for administration and the clerk left to manage the constitutional and parliamentary elements.
Mr Bercow said: " On taking extensive evidence, they could see that the management of the House was simply not fit for purpose and they set out constructive proposals to equip us for the modern world.
"I am absolutely ecstatic that they reached the conclusions that they did, that they managed to obtain unanimity for their recommendations and that their findings were then accepted by colleagues without dissent in the debate in December and the legislation that came before the House last week.
"My one regret about all this is that it was not possible to find the consensus required to commission the Straw Committee a year earlier, because if we had it would have saved us the utter agony of a doomed first attempt.
"Finding a human being who was a parliamentary expert of the highest repute and a chief executive of stellar managerial form proved predictably impossible.
"Now that the role has rightly been separated – I argued all along that the clerk should not also be the chief executive and this has now been agreed by the House – I am confident that we will be able to find a clerk of the House whose constitutional qualifications would make Erskine May proud and a director general who can take on, full-time, the management of the Commons."
The Speaker also set out his plans for greater public involvement in the work of the Commons.
He said: " Democracy needs not only to be done but to be seen to be done to enjoy the weight it deserves. Reconnecting Parliament and the public is thus not some sort of public relations exercise but absolutely central to its status."
Mr Bercow said he was "intrigued" by the recommendation of the Digital Democracy Commission for online public "e-discussions" before debates in Westminster Hall, the Commons' second chamber.
The Speaker also repeated his criticism of the way Prime Minister's Questions was conducted, and called for the party leaders to improve the tone of the exchanges.
He said: "PMQs are what the public see and hear of Parliament more than anything else.
"My submission, supported anecdotally wherever I go around the country and by some polling evidence, is that the public disapprove of the decibel level and orchestrated barracking.
"Put simply, if the party leaders want conduct on a Wednesday lunchtime to improve, it will. Post-election there will be an opportunity to achieve change that the public would welcome."

FMCSA Now Requires Medical Exams For Commercial Truck and Bus Drivers
Source: Teamster Nation
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently issued a rule that establishes a National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (National Registry). Healthcare professionals who are on the National Registry are the only individuals who are permitted to perform physical qualification examinations for commercial truck and bus drivers who operate commercial motor vehicles (CMV) in interstate commerce. The healthcare professionals who are on the National Registry must first successfully complete training and testing on physical qualification standards and guidelines as set forth by the FMCSA.
Background Information
- The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted crash investigations and determined that some crashes that resulted in fatalities and serious injuries were caused by drivers who had disqualifying medical conditions. To address this issue, the NTSB recommended that the FMCSA raise the standards for healthcare professionals who perform the medical examinations.
- In response to the NTSB recommendation and a directive from the Congress, the FMCSA conducted rulemaking that resulted in a final rule that accomplished the following:
- Established a National Registry; and
- Developed training, testing, and continuing education requirements for healthcare professional who perform the physical examinations for commercial drivers who are involved in interstate commerce.
Impact on Interstate CMV Drivers
- If your medical certificate expires on or after May 21, 2014, you must obtain a physical examination from a medical examiner who is listed on the National Registry.
- Employers are still required to ensure that all drivers who operate CMVs on their behalf are medically qualified. As was the case prior to the effective date of this rule, those employers may require drivers to be examined by medical examiners that are acceptable to the employer.
To find an approved medical examiner in your area, use the following link. http://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov. To learn more, or if you have any questions please contact the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Safety and Health Department at phone: 202.624.6960 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Federal laws will affect your commercial driver license!
Posted: July 1, 2015
Source: WA State Dept. of Licensing
On September 1, 2015, We will comply with the Federal requirement that all commercial drivers provide proof of lawful permanent residency or U.S. citizenship when they apply for or renew their commercial driver license (CDL) or commercial learner permit (CLP).
For current CDL and CLP holders this means 5 things:
- You are only required to present proof of lawful permanent residency or U.S. citizenship at your next renewal or other transaction that requires a change to your record. This includes name, address, and endorsement changes. The ability to renew and make changes to your personal driver license is not affected by these requirements.
- If you hold a valid enhanced personal driver license or enhanced commercial driver license issued in Washington before September 1, 2015, you are not required to again prove your permanent legal residency or U.S. citizenship. This type of license is identified by a red colored bar at the top of the card and the words "ENHANCED DRIVER LICENSE" or "ENHANCED COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSE."
- Proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency is not required to replace a lost, damaged or stolen card. Duplicate commercial learner permits and commercial driver licenses may be purchased at any driver license office.
- Visit a CDL/CLP office to complete your transaction.
- You must provide 1 of 6 federally approved, government-issued documents. Obtaining duplicate documents can take several weeks. We advise you to begin the process immediately if you do not currently have at least one in your possession. Photocopies are not accepted.

How to Increase Smart Phone Battery Life
Smartphones are truly amazing devices, and due to their expansive capabilities they can drain battery life rather quickly. It can be a real pain to have to charge your phone over and over again and with a few simple tips, you can learn on how to get the most out of your smartphone by increasing the time you can use it and decreasing the time you have to spend charging it.
1) Turn Off Your WiFi
- Most Smartphones have a WiFi option that allows you to connect to local internet within a certain distance. This is very helpful in phones that do not have a data plan, but if you do have a data plan you have your WiFi on all the time, you are murdering your batter life. Most phones, like mine, have a simple and easy switch that allows you to turn off your WiFi. It is hard task for the little processor in your phone, with a limited battery source, to constantly be connecting to a WiFi network and retrieving information. If you turn this off, you will find your batter will go a lot further resulting in an increased time spend running your favorite apps and programs, and less time connecting to that dreaded charger.
2) Turn Off Bluetooth
- Not everyone has a Bluetooth device, and not everyone uses their Bluetooth device all of the time. Most phones automatically connect or look for Bluetooth devices when your phone is running which is very strainuous on your batter life. Much similar to WiFi, this problem can be easily solved with a simple switch from on to off. If you do not have a Bluetooth or are not using it, make sure this setting is off and you will have loads of battery life that you will not even know what to do with.
3) Battery Applications
"There's an App for that." If you're like me, I'm sure you have heard this a million times and when talking about battery life, this is no exception. Better believe it. There is a plenty of battery tracking and defending applications, and the best part is; they are free!
- Battery life: It is important that you know how much battery life you have to make sure you do not end up with a dead phone when you really need it. Not to worry, there is an applications called Batter Life that will tell you exactly how much battery you have in an easy to read percent.
- Juice Defender: Depending on your smartphone, the name of this application may vary, and it is called Juice Defender on mine. This nifty little application will sort through the programs in you phone and turn off those that will drain your battery life. Every bit of juice helps!
If you are constantly finding running to the charger, take into account some of these tips and I am positive you will find an increase in your batter life. Best part is, these tips are absolutely free and very easy to use. I hope you found this article helpful and feel free to leave a comment and vote up.
Hi passthejelly, very interesting and informative Hub.
Some very good info here for all of us who love gadgets. I have not been to your hubs in a while, I'm such a slacker. I do like this information very much, I'll be back again soon.
Important battery health tips; turn off location aware services, turn off notifications, turn off sounds, reduce volumes, reduce brightness, reduce EQ, shut down apps.
I love the niche you have created for yourself in writing good channel of communication Sir, keep it up..
Good information well presented. I like the tips and I'm sure they will be helpful to a lot of people.

Bilderberg – the secret society open to us all
So, got your tin-foil helmet, your copy of the latest works by David Icke and Alex Jones and your untraceable email account at the ready? Yes, it's that time of the year again when the world's most infamous secret society gathers in the shadows to decide how they are going to run the world.
Well, when I say 'shadows', what I really mean is that the members and invited guests of the group will gather together in a swanky hotel in Copenhagen this weekend to discuss the kind of things that rich, powerful and influential people, as well as our own Simon Coveney, like to discuss.
As is only right and proper, of course, this weekend's bash, which will also feature regular attendee Peter Sutherland, has been once more held up as an example of how the elite are secretly controlling our lives.

Young aussie pop-punkers With Confidence headlined an intimate show at King Tut's.
Hitting the road with Broadside, Safe to Stay and Milestones, the night brought a sweaty pop-punk fuelled night to a cold night in Glasgow.
Before With Confidence stepped onto the stage, the traditional Glasgow welcome – 'here we f*cking go' chants – began from the young crowd who had excitedly clambered around the stage.
The Aussie pop-punkers leapt onto the stage with beaming smiles, opening with 'Voldemort' – a brave start to open with arguably your most known song, but this simply kick-started the show with a high-energy introduction.
Keeping up the momentum, the band propelled into 'Archer' continuing the singalongs as the crowd embraced every moment. A Scottish flag was thrown onto the stage as the energetic four-piece bounded across the small stage interacting with the crowd at any given moment.
A particular set highlight during the night was during track 'Long Night' with the audience singing along unaided. Other top tracks from the four-piece came in the form of 'Keys' and 'We'll Be Okay'.
With a mix of older tracks also thrown into the mix as they worked their way through their debut album release, it's hard to believe this was With Confidence's UK headline tour as they commanded the stage with ease and put on a show overflowing with energy.
With Confidence have managed to create a refreshing sound with their extremely impressive debut album release which transcended well to a live set, keeping the pop punk principles close to their chest, the band has added their own twist to the trademark genre.
As many pop punk bands begin to reform and hit the road for reunion stints, they can be rest assured that the well-loved genre can be left in the capable hands of bands including With Confidence to take the reins and lead the way.

RRP/As tested: $56,990.
Why we're driving it: Ssangyong is attempting to break back into the Australian market and this is its flagship.
Likes: More electronic stuff than anything this side of double the price; electrically heated and cooled drinks holders, tilting and sliding rear seats, controls for the good audio system in the rear armrest, electrically adjustable driver's seat. Roomy, smooth, comfortable and a huge boot.
Dislikes: Essentially a 10-year-old Mercedes-Benz 300 (Ssangyong had a deal with Mercedes) including engine and gearbox. Feels like it too. Handles like a wet sponge. Try-hard styling makes it looks like the automotive equivalent of an imitation watch.
Would I buy one? Nope. Call me old-fashioned. But not that old-fashioned.

Having it all is a fantasy, right?
Chloe Browne knows all about fantasy. Fantasy is her job.
And she's very, very good at what she does.
As director of design for the O Spa chain, a sophisticated women's club that is trending its way into being the Next Big Thing, Chloe's ready to take on the world.
One baby at a time.
Her home study's done, and she's about to adopt, a thirty-something single mother by choice. Who needs to put her life on hold for the right guy when the right baby is waiting for her?
Besides, talk about fantasy.
The right guy?
Pfft. Right.
And then in walks Nick Grafton, with those commanding sapphire eyes and wavy blonde hair and a sophisticated mouth that only smiles for her.
He's perfect.
But the last thing Nick wants is to start fresh with a new baby as his college-age kids fly the coop. A single father for more than fifteen years after his wife walked out on her family, Nick finally tastes freedom.
But he likes the taste of Chloe more.

The State of Games, Episode 46 – The One About the Fate of the Galaxy

A New Kind of Spice – A Rex: Final Days of an Empire Review
"Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." Leto Atreides, Dune For over 30 years, the board game Dune has often been talked about in hushed awe by a generation of gamers who have heard countless tales of its groundbreaking game play and legendary subject matter. For many, there was no way to prove nor disprove the rumors in these tales, as the game was often harder to find than the legendary cup sought after in the Crusades. Not long ago, Fantasy Flight Games announced that they would rerelease the classic game, but reimagined for the Twilight Imperium universe. Those that had not yet... Read More

Potentially one for the "only in America" basket, a recent class action in the US alleged that consumers were induced to purchase Red Bull with the promise of 'wings' it could not actually provide. The plaintiffs argued that Red Bull had falsely represented that its energy drinks provided certain functional benefits, and through this induced consumers into purchasing and/or paying a price "premium" for those drinks over alternate sources of caffeine.
The case did not make it to court. Not on the basis that it does not actually provide wings, but because it settled in negotiation. Red Bull agreed to the establishment of a $13 million settlement fund, committed to covering up to $4,750,000 in legal fees, and to withdrawing or revising marketing material. Red Bull also committed to scientifically test any claims regarding functional benefits of its products in the future.
The settlement fund is to be used to provide $10 or two Red Bull products to the value of $15 to every customer who purchased a Red Bull product after 1 January 2002.
The term 'mere puffery' applies in Australia to a claim which no reasonable person would take seriously or act upon – and we would hope the "Red Bull gives you wings" slogan falls within that category. At any rate, the slogan continues to be used here.

They are the first line item expenses on anyone's budget. It is where the first dollars of every budget goes.
Fortunately for America and Americans, food and fuel have been relatively low expenses as a percentage of our income....allowing us to spend massively on things like health care, insurance, investments, shelter, higher education and entertainment.
Such spending has created tens of millions of high paying jobs.......
We as a nation were insolvent a few years ago due to too much debt......and what did we do to resolve the problem.....go into to much more debt......so much in fact that no one could afford to loan us the money so we simply began printing it.....for the first time in history.
The side effect, which anyone with a pulse could anticipate, was rising food and fuel prices as more dollars around the world chased a limited supply of natural resources.
Since Food and Fuel are the first things people spend on......every dollar spent on food and fuel takes away a dollar from other items.....and in America, it is the ex food and fuel segments that most people are employed into and concentrate their investments.
So now, as Food and Fuel prices keep rising due to current policies......we can expect to see greater stress on other areas of the economy like housing, insurance, health care, and government.
In fact, we in America are the most ill prepared to face higher food and fuel prices because as a percentage of our GDP.....food and fuel comprise a relatively tiny percentage and we depend on low fuel prices for our infastructure to function.
Tens of millions of Americans live on a fixed income....and with an aging population, more everyday. As the Fed keeps reported inflation at near zero, but practical inflation is at double digits.........millions will not be able to make ends meet due to flat incomes and exploding expenses.
At this point, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place....keep printing and bankrupt ourselves by rising food and fuel prices.....or restructure right now.
One thing you can be guaranteed...as food and fuel prices spread around the world.....so will social unrest as fewer and fewer will be able to eat....which could be the driver for change from the Industrial Age to the Digital Age......and the driver for a pardigm shift into an Udderworld.com
Seriously....are you still focusing your attention on the ticker....
Last week Egypt was calm....this week it is shutting down......
What do you think will happen in America as Food and Fuel prices keep increasing and there is relatively little money to spend anywhere else?
We know the problem....soon we will apply solutions as we head into the Digital Age.....and these solution will be where UdderWorld concentrates on.....in addition to informing on the problems.
As more and more around the world reject the Industrial Age model.....expect rapid movement towards implementing a NEW Digital Age system....
a system of sustainable prosperity and one UdderWorld.com will be keeping close track of.....
it appears it is time to bankrupt Industrial Age cities and states

Stressed out? You may be grinding your teeth
Stressed out? You may be grinding your teeth
CHICAGOAbout 95 percent of American adults grind their teeth at some point during their lives, but the majority goes undiagnosed, says a pioneer in the field. The result is that many tolerate pain and dental problems that dentists can treat successfully.
Terry Tanaka, DDS, clinical professor at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, says that in addition to causing chronic facial pain and muscle fatigue, bruxism, or teeth-grinding, can wear down tooth enamel and most dental restoration, and can even cause teeth to become loose. Most bruxing occurs at night while people are asleep.
When people brux, they often wake up with some very sore and tired facial muscles, said Dr. Tanaka in an interview with Dentistry Today. That is a very good clue to them that they brux and should have a dentist do a thorough examination to diagnose the cause of their pain.
Dr. Tanaka said that more research is needed to determine the exact mechanisms that cause bruxism and jaw clenching, but it is believed that emotional and physical factors are involved. Stress and sleep disorders also are believed to be contributors.
To relax clenching muscles, dentists recommend applying warm washcloths on the side of the face. To help relieve stress, they recommend advice such as cutting down on caffeine or getting exercise. Custom-fitted mouthguards made by dentists worn at night prevent grinding.
Dr. Tanaka said that one potential problem in the huge boom of esthetic dentistry is that many tooth-colored materials used for fillings cannot withstand the unremitting pressure that can occur when a patient bruxes through the night. The esthetic materials used now are better than ever, he said, but there needs to be consideration of bruxism and clenching in what materials dentists choose to use.
Dr. Tanaka advises patients who want esthetic restorations but who grind and clench their teeth to allow their dentists to determine the best material after a thorough consultation.
In most cases, he said, the severity of the bruxism problem will help determine the type of material that will provide the strongest and longest-lasting esthetic restoration.
Dr. Tanaka agreed that future generations of esthetic materials will withstand pressure from bruxism but that the issues underlying teeth grinding still need to be treated effectively for the overall health of the body.

How often you should wash your hair ?Posted: March 31, 2015 Filed under: Health Leave a comment
You've probably wondered how often you need to wash that (sometimes greasy, sometimes not) hair of yours. The question is a vexing one. It's so common, in fact, that it's the third suggestion that pops up when typing "how often" into Google (following queries about showering and pooping).
Outside the shower, our scalps gradually get shinier, darker, and more oily. So why does it happen, and how often should you wash to keep the grease at bay?

How To become A Dentist
Although you might state that you are taking care of your teeth really well, you will still cannot overlook the fact that you simply will have to see your dentist at least 2 times per year. Does the Dentist Have Real Credentials In Cosmetic Dentistry? It seems as if many dentists say they perform some of cosmetic dentistry as a part of their services. For many reasons, it is very important to find a reputable and efficient dentist.
Most dentists are general practitioners, handling a variety of dental requirements. Dentists usually utilize a probe and mirror to examine the crown of every tooth to search for caries or plaque. Thus, these dental professionals help patients locate a nutrition plan which will ask them to feeling well while also promoting physical wellness. Inform him about your health condition and this includes your complete medical history like information regarding any illnesses you are suffering from or have recently recuperated from and whether you're allergic to any substance.
This assists individuals to fill the space made from the loss of teeth and make their smile stunning again.

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest any good sources for One Page Comics? Either web comics or printed volumes?
I'm obviously going to do some Googling myself but thought I'd throw it out there in case you guy's had some killer suggestions.
The reason I am asking is that after attending Thoughtbubble on the weekend the general feedback on my work was that my writing wasn't novel / thought provoking / interesting enough. And my feedback on the Write-Off thread has been that I am a bit wordy.
In order to remedy this I'm planning to practice writing some One Page comics, as this will ensure I cut out the flab and people can quickly judge whether I can tell a good story.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
I love Adrian Tomine's stuff. (In his own Optic Nerve and elsewhere.) He has a tremendous ability to wring tension and emotion out of really mundane situations and "ordinary" characters. His long-form work is great too.
Thanks for the recommendation @marqueemark. I've looked him up and his work looks really interesting. I'm thinking of getting the '32 Stories' collected edition to see his first attempts and how he grew into it. It's a shame they aren't avaliable digitally.
I was just going to say Adrian Tomine!
Do you have a shop that participates in Free Comic Book Day? Usually they have some pretty great mini-anthologies. Might be worth looking into. It's not coming up until May 6th, but put it on your radar.
Kate Beaton's Hark, a vagrant - which is endlessly charming - but the bigger lesson is she wrote her passion and what she was interested in which was history so, yea... http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=1
OGLAF - (NSFW) - Eight page pilot but after that one pages, mostly - this is more my speed and would recommend if you have a perverse sicko sense of humour - pretty much the fantasy/sword n' sandal n' sorcery genre meets crazed sex-ploitation - think Conan with cumshots but only awesomer: http://oglaf.com/archive/
Faith Erin Hick's Adventure of a Superhero Girl not one pager but y'know if you're just looking for something fun to read: http://www.adventuresofsuperherogirl.com/
Let me also add: Megg Mogg Owl (NSFW) http://www.vice.com/tag/megg%20mogg%20owl -
I'll add (some of) Lynda Barry's stuff to the mix too. Many of her one-page strips feed into a very complicated and seemingly infinite narrative, but once in a while she'll do a one-off that can be jaw dropping. (I tried in vain to find a strip she did at least 10 years ago where an old man's dog died. Within four panels, she got me inside the guy's head, heart, and home and then broke my heart.)
Hi guys,
@BeardedBetts I will mark Free Comic Book day in the calendar in order to get my hands on some anthologies.
@just.dave Thanks for the suggestions. I loved the OGLAF ones. But they were definitely not safe for work.
@marqueemark. I'd not heard of Lynda Barry. I'll be sure to look her up.
I'd like to recommend these one page collaborations that I've discovered via @Dominik. Think they are currently looking for artists.
Just seen this post, but Warren Ellis did something similar on his site a few years ago.

FTSE edges higher after BT unveils broadband upgrade programme
The London market edged higher after BT unveiled a £6 billion programme to upgrade its broadband network and posted a jump in annual profit.
The telecoms giant was the biggest riser in the top flight after it said the upgrade would extend ultrafast broadband to at least 10 million homes and businesses and lay fibre optic lines to around two million premises across the UK.
The FTSE 100 Index crept up 5.2 points to 6117.3, as traders took only lukewarm comfort from sunnier corporate earnings after the market had suffered a gloomy start to the week due to downbeat forecasts for global trade.
In Europe, Germany's DAX rose 0.2%, while in France the Cac 40 fell 0.3%.
Positive corporate earnings in London were tempered by closely-watched Purchasing Managers' Index data from Markit, showing that the UK's key services sector has slumped to its lowest level in three years.
The survey said the sector has fallen to 52.3 in April, down from 53.7 in March. That is the weakest level since February 2013, and close to the 50-point mark that splits expansion from contraction.
The pound was a cent higher against the euro at 1.27, in the wake of the European Central Bank downgrading its inflation forecasts earlier this week for this year and next.
Sterling was little changed against the US dollar at 1.45.
Among stocks, BT was more than 2% higher, or 11.6p to 451.1p, after it also announced a 15% rise in pre-tax profits to £3.03 billion for the year to March 31 after seeing revenues rise by 6% to £18.9 billion.
BT's £12.5 billion acquisition of mobile phone firm EE was cleared by regulators in January.
BT chief executive Gavin Patterson said: "We now see the opportunity to deliver more synergies than we originally expected, and at a lower cost."
Supermarket Morrisons was also a strong top flight riser after it said like-for-like sales grew 0.7% in the first quarter of the year as the retailer's turnaround under chief executive David Potts continues to gain traction.
The results represent the second consecutive quarter of growth at the grocer after four years of stagnation.
The company saw sales at its Food To Go division rocket more than 17% year-on-year, and Morrisons said its Free From range sales grew 70%.
Shares lifted 4.5p at 192p.
Shares in British Gas parent Centrica were the biggest faller in the FTSE 100 Index - diving 10%, or 22.6p at 208.5p, after the utilities firm announced a surprise share sale to raise funds.
It said it would sell 350 million shares, worth between £750 million to £800 million, to buy a pair of smaller rivals and cut debt.
Analysts at Jefferies said: "Raising equity is an expensive way of paying down debt."
The biggest risers in the FTSE 100 Index were BT up 11.6p at 451.1p, Pearson up 20.5p at 805p, Next up 130p at 5280p and Morrisons up 4.5p at 192p.
The biggest fallers in the FTSE 100 Index were Centrica down 22.6p at 208.5p, Inmarsat down 67p at 863p, Sage Group down 22p at 582p and Smith & Nephew down 32p at 1132p.

Demonstrators Climb Bulldozers in Beit Jala
Despite razor wire, tear gas and squads of Israeli soldiers in their way 15 Palestinians, Israelis and PSP activists broke the barrier at Beit Jala this afternoon and unfurled banners on the bulldozers destroying the olive groves on their land for construction of the Annexation Barrier. Demonstrations began in Beit Jala last month when the construction of the Barrier began anew in this area just south of Jerusalem. Yesterday, a playground and garden were destroyed by the Israeli bulldozers to clear land in Beit Jala and the nearby village of Al-Walaja. This construction is part of the enormous "Jerusalem envelope" section of the Barrier, used to annex a huge swath of land surrounding Jerusalem to make room for more Jewish settlement in the area.

I love finding new sweet treat recipes to try, so when I ran across a homemade lollipop recipe I was sold! Especially when they are made using edible flowers. 😍 Plus these are perfect little sweet treats to make for our Easter brunch to give to the kids as favors.
I followed this recipe I found on Pinterest, but I'm including additional information that will be helpful if this is your first time making lollipops. I would recommend reading my tips below before using this recipe.
If you want to use edible flowers here is a list I found on Pinterest that can help you. Some flowers are not edible so make sure you choose ones that are.
1 dram of flavoring (I chose cherry)
Lollipop sticks
2/3 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
Kitchen Necessities:
Candy thermometer
Metal spoon
Tip 1: The tutorial called for a lollipop mold, but I didn't use one. I simply sprayed cooking spray on wax paper and put the hard crack candy mix directly on the wax paper. If you want the lollipops to be consistent in size I would recommend using a mold. Mine were all different sizes, but I was ok that. 😋
Tip 2: The candy mixture will harden very quickly. I would recommend cutting the recipe in half if you are not using a mold and want to add edible flowers to the lollipops. I only got 9 completed before the mix had hardened to the point the remaining was unusable. I wasted a little under half of the mixture.
Tip 3: The lollipops only take about 8 minutes to completely harden. If some of the wax paper sticks to the lollipop dab your finger in water and run it across the back. You'll need to let the lollipop dry for an additional hour.
My oldest son and husband did a taste test and said they tasted like a cherry jolly rancher, so that was al the approval I needed.
Tip 4: To clean the utensils and saucepan simply run hot water over the hardened candy mix. The hot water will dissolve the candy within minutes.
I will say these were messy to make, but oh so worth it. 😋 I can't wait to make another batch for our Easter brunch. I think I'll try lavender. We shall see. 😉

When a person is overweight they tend to think in the most negative way. Self-confidence plummets, energy drops, and depression can set in. This kind of thinking could lead to a very poor self-image and might tempt a person to take a shortcut to getting down to a healthy weight. How much a person weighs isn't necessarily an indication of how healthy they are. The percentage of fat to muscle is a better indicator. Making poor diet choices and forgetting to exercise are the main causes for weight gain and poor health. Most people don't think twice about grabbing a pizza to eat for dinner multiple nights per week after sitting all day at work. These choices are not how to lose weight fast.

We've had a full four weeks with you, little Judge. Parenting you is a day-by-day kind of thing, and I don't want to forget the little stuff.
Your "blue steel" face – the first facial expression I'll remember.
The way you stretch after being woken up, arching your back and raising your arms high overhead.
Your powerful baby hiccups, which remind me that you're the same baby I carried in my womb for nine months
The way your little fists fold in toward your body contently when you're eating.
How your legs mimic a frogs' when you're sleeping comfortably.
The very first time you fountain-sprayed me with pee when I was changing you. (It's not all adorable, folks.)
How you curl up happily on my chest to fall asleep. Seriously–it's the best.
The "coo" sound you make when it seems like you might cry but then you change your mind.
The way your arms and legs flail when you're startled in your sleep.
Our early morning feedings. Because when we're done, we get to cuddle as San Francisco awakens outside the window.
Dressing you in the hippest baby clothes we can find.
The squeals and squeaks you make before before passing some serious gas.
When you look me in the eyes. I know your eyes can't focus well yet, but it still melts me into a puddle of gushy mom love.
Happy one month, little Judge!

getting started online, it may have been recommended to you that you start by setting up an affiliate marketing blog.This means that you will learn first how to promote other people's products in return for a commission from the sale. What you might not know is that there are two kinds of affiliate marketing business models.
One type is to set up many affiliate marketing blog sites in varying niches and promote a variety of different products on them. The other type of affiliate business model is to develop a single authority affiliate site. There are of course pros and cons for both types of affiliate marketing, and many people have varying opinions on which is best.
Here is an excellent article from Steve Scott who is himself a six figure affiliate marketer. When you read his article you'll discover not just a few, but 10 reasons why he favors the single authority affiliate site.

1. Pulse Width Modulation
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a power conversion technique that converts the AC line voltage to a lower voltage DC signal. Pulse width modulation essentially controls the duty cycle as well as the frequency of the power applied to the TEC.
To prevent thermal cycling, most PWM circuits filter the DC output to provide a "smooth" DC component to the TEC. The frequency of the PWM can be as low as possible to maintain a continuous, smooth output voltage.

No Truer Friend
Random acts of kindness
I Remember
Phantoms No More
Eyes and ears, m'dear
Hear the things,
they speak with their eyes
Words are a lair's arsenal,
look just how lightly they step
around promises, and juggle emotions
Look within you for your truths,
see what injustice strikes you like a fist,
understand what you stand for.
The outside, of many things, is a facade
the innards, soul and belief belie this
Flesh and bone, masks and smiles
housing within a starlight light,
or void blackness
A Teacher's Heart of Gold- Poetry challenge
A Teacher's Heart of Gold
A Teacher's Heart of Gold
The first day of school is special each year as I look up and down each row.
Looking at new supplies, new shoes, new clothes, what is most important doesn't show.
Within minutes, they show you who is the brightest star…
It's also very evident who carries the deepest scars.
Track To Kindness
Take Care of Each Other
Deliberations at my Window
Love In Action
So Much Better
What Warms My Heart
Highs and Lows
A patience a day
Kinds words to say
Compassion to feel
Faith to heal
Honesty to do
Strength to stay true
Home Maintenance
Our lawns need mowing
A cobweb's growing
A gate is sagging
Repairs are lagging
Shelves are dusty
A latch is rusty
A faucet leaks
Our hall floor creaks
Laundry's piled on the floor
A broken knob is on a door
Our housekeeping is far from kept
But our home's well maintained in some respects
Greater Than Gold
As I sat eating my meal
Alone in my thoughts and cares
I noticed a little girl
Turn her head and briefly stare
She saw a homeless man with a hopeless look
Who'd been hungry for far too long
Her eyes grew sad from what she saw
Then she whispered to her mom
I don't know what she said
As she pointed to him
But when her mom smiled
There was joy in her eyes again

text: Punto dragging towards left I am observing some dragging(toward left) issue with my Punto. Service person had checked the alignment and adjusted the toe. Still the problem is there. They are asking me to leave the vehicle for suspension check.They also told that this can be due to brakes getting pressed to the wheels. But in the later case the drag should be only while applying the brakes. I have confirmed the drag in many straight roads. For example my alto which is due for service has a right moving tendency where on the same road the punto is moving left. This is the second problem that I am facing in one month
