The Cape Recife Nature Reserve so has the potential to be Port Elizabeth's Cape Point Nature Reserve, just without the cliffs. What I'm saying is that so few people really go to Cape Recife yet there is so much to do and experience. Some of the options are visiting SAMREC, doing the Roseate Tern Hiking Trail, bird watching, fish, exploring the rock pools at low tide, walking along the beach, tons and tons of photo opportunities and for those who prefer it slipping off to Secrets nude beach. The big land mark in reserve is the Cape Recife Lighthouse built in 1851. Just a pity its not open to visitors at the moment.

The lighthouse at Cape Recife

What a beautiful, iconic image! Nice work.ReplyDelete
The nude beach could also be a possible photo op!ReplyDelete
On this grey, cold, wet day in Ireland you surely know how to make me homesick!ReplyDelete
I've said it before... I loved going there... many a fish caught, well... I tried.
Even the odd skinny dip at Secrets... many years ago!
Don't forget the sip of box wine in the sun... or getting muscles off the rocks at spring low...
Or, just chilling out to the sounds of the sea and a bit of Bob
Memories... ;-)
Beautiful photo.ReplyDelete

Timeplex Industrial Limited
Timeplex group is a Hong Kong based organization with integrated manufacturing facilities in China. Established in 1989, Timeplex brought the Hong Kong management system to meet international standard, along side with years of proven technique and experience.
Timeplex provides customer with complete development capabilities starting from product concept, prototypes to feasibility samples and volume manufacture. Product range including metallic, plastic, electrical and electronics. Our engineering team help clients to develop the product to meet stringent specifications and to compile with the necessary mandatory standards.
Through the effort in the past two decades, Timeplex has become one of the operations who can continuously stand behind its high quality, innovation, affordable pricing and flexible lead time that clients need to remain competitive in the market.
Metallic components may be designed from various materials, steel, copper, brass, aluminium, tin and lead alloys in sheets,heatsink,EMI/RFI shielding metal case, rolls, rods or ingots
Components in different sizes and configurations may be produced by stamping, forming. extrusion, forging, die-casting and secondary operation such as punching, deep drawing, drilling, threading, and riveting.
For outside appearance and environmental protection, components usually require surface finishing in electro-plating (chrome, nickel, copper, silver or gold), anodizing or powder coating.
In some cases when it is difficult to use metal stamping components to achieve the required configuration, such as piping, curvature or threading, plastic injection parts is a better option. Development of plastic products or part starts from an injection mold. Choice of plastic resins will be the first consideration our engineers will suggest to the client. From the most suitable material such as ABS, PS, PE, PP, PVC, PC etc, and based on customer target production rate and the investment budget, the mold design will be determined and fabrication will start.
Components and parts coming out of the injection molding machine will be relatively uniform. Many of them could replace more than one metallic part or even become a finished product by itself.

Our next Staff Spotlight goes to Corie Hackett, Life Skills Teacher at North Mason High School!
Here are just a couple reasons why Corie was nominated:
"Corie is a favorite teacher of most students, mainly due to her calm and caring nature. Her goal is to bring out the most in her students! While remaining current with the latest instructional strategies and technologies, she can still reach a troubled or struggling student with simple, yet profound motherly instincts and empathy coupled with complete professionalism. She is highly organized, reliable, and seeks out feedback in the role of a Building Instructional Leadership Team member which has benefited her department."
"Corie's position often goes unnoticed by those in the building and as with all SpEd teachers it is complex. There are many, many things that make Corie worth nomination and recognition. None more important than how she cares very much for the students she works with every day. When you see the way that Corie works with any student you see a person who is loving and compassionate. She believes that her students can achieve great things by knowing their potential she challenges them and celebrates the wins. Her cheerful smile and laugh are contagious. It's a tough job but she is rocking it!"
Thank you Corie Hackett for your hard work and dedication!

John J. Rhodes, 86, an Arizona Republican who as minority leader of the House of Representatives played a critical role in the events leading to the 1974 resignation of President Richard M. Nixon, died of cancer Aug. 24 at his home in Mesa, Ariz.
Two days before Nixon quit the presidency, Mr. Rhodes was one of three influential Republicans who called on him at the White House to tell him in the bluntest terms that his struggle to remain in office was lost.
His Republican support on Capitol Hill had all but evaporated, Nixon was told by Mr. Rhodes, Senate Minority Leader Hugh D. Scott Jr. (Pa.) and Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (Ariz.). It was virtually certain, they said, that the House would vote to impeach him and that the Senate would convict him on charges related to the 1972 break-in at the national Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate.
That night Nixon told his family and his chief of staff that he would resign. He announced his plans to the nation on national television the next evening and at noon Aug. 9 his resignation became effective.
A friend and long-standing supporter of Nixon, Mr. Rhodes had not decided until Aug. 6 that he would vote to impeach the chief executive. He reached his decision after the release -- by order of the Supreme Court -- of transcripts of tape-recorded White House conversations in which the president tried to get the Central Intelligence Agency to halt an FBI investigation of the Watergate break-in.
"For me, this is a sad day. I admire Richard Nixon, for the many great things he has done for the people of America and the people of the world," Mr. Rhodes said in announcing his decision. "But the most important aspect of our entire system of government is equal justice under the law, the principle that no person -- whether he be rich or poor, black or white, ordinary citizen or president -- is above the law. Coverup of criminal activity and misuse of federal agencies can neither be condoned nor tolerated. . . . When the roll is called in the House of Representatives, I will vote 'aye' on impeachment."
On Capitol Hill, the announcement by the House leader of the president's own party was widely interpreted as the coup de grace for the Nixon presidency. By that afternoon, all 10 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, who earlier had voted against impeachment, had reconsidered. They would now vote to impeach, they said. House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Jr. (D-Mass.) predicted that there would be no more than 75 votes against impeachment in the full House of Representatives.
Years later, Mr. Rhodes would say the trip up Pennsylvania Avenue to meet with Nixon at the White House was the most trying ordeal of his 30 years in Congress. "It was a very difficult thing to do," he said. "But I think [Nixon] felt he needed to get the word directly from us."
John Jacob Rhodes II was born in Council Grove, Kan. He graduated from Kansas State University and Harvard Law School. During World War II, he was an administrative officer with the Army Air Forces stationed in Arizona. After the war, he settled in Mesa, near Phoenix, where he opened a law practice and founded a loan and insurance business.
He became active in Republican politics and in 1952 ran for the House of Representatives. Never before had Arizona elected a Republican to the House, but Mr. Rhodes was swept into office in the landslide for the Republican presidential candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
His first term was the only one of his 15 in which the Republicans were the majority party in the House. His congressional career included service on the Appropriations Committee, where he developed a specialty in defense appropriations. In 1965, he became chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, in which his job was to develop conservative alternatives to legislative proposals of a Democratic administration.
In 1964, he helped launch the presidential bid of fellow Arizonan Goldwater. He shared many of Goldwater's conservative political positions, but for much of his career, he had operated in the shadow of the colorful and outspoken Goldwater, who was better known, both nationally and in Arizona.
Never a backslapper, Mr. Rhodes had a reputation on Capitol Hill as a Republican team player who generally shunned the media spotlight, did his homework and knew how to count votes.
Syndicated columnist George F. Will wrote of him in January of 1974: "God had a congressman in mind when He made John Rhodes. And he is just what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they designed the House of Representatives, the body intended to be closest to the common man.
"Rhodes looks every inch like a House member ought to look. A little shorter than average, perhaps a little heavier than he ought to be, he dresses in business suits that are almost flamboyantly nondescript.
"His name is not a household word, and probably never will be. To his credit, he probably doesn't mind a bit."
In 1976, the Almanac of American Politics said of Mr. Rhodes that he "knows how to tiptoe through the political minefields without getting hurt."
Mr. Rhodes believed in limited government, sound money and a balanced budget. He took a dim view of most of the Great Society programs of President Lyndon B. Johnson's administration, and he backed a full military effort in waging the war in Vietnam. For the 1969-70 session of Congress, he was voted "Watchdog of the Year" by the National Association of Businessmen.
In 1972, he was chairman of the platform committee at the Republican National Convention in Miami, where Nixon was nominated for a second term. He chaired the 1976 and 1980 GOP national conventions.
He was elected House minority leader in 1973, replacing Gerald R. Ford, whom Nixon had nominated as vice president to replace Spiro T. Agnew. Agnew had resigned after pleading no contest to a charge of income tax fraud.
For seven years, Mr. Rhodes was minority leader, but they were not good years for the Republican Party, which had to live down the Watergate scandal and then, in 1976, lost the White House to Jimmy Carter.
Frustrated by what he perceived as congressional ineffectiveness, Mr. Rhodes wrote a 1976 book, "The Futile System," in which he argued that reform in Congress "cannot be accomplished by the majority party. . . . The ins have little incentive to change. It is the outs -- the powerless minority -- who have the only real motivation to take a critical look at the system and determine a better way to run things."
After seven years as minority leader, Mr. Rhodes had planned to step down in 1980. But with Ronald Reagan at the head of the Republican ticket in the November elections that year he decided to run for one more term. If the Republicans gained control of the House, he would be speaker. But they didn't, and he wasn't. He retired as minority leader, served out his last two-year term as a representative from Arizona and then ended his congressional career. He was 66.
"I just thought that if I was ever going to do something else, I should get started doing it," he said.
After leaving Congress, Mr. Rhodes maintained an apartment in Bethesda and also lived in Mesa. He traveled extensively and practiced law in the Washington office of the Richmond-based firm of Hunton & Williams.
In 2002, Mr. Rhodes and former representative Louis Stokes (D-Ohio) became the first recipients of the newly created Congressional Distinguished Service Awards.
Survivors include Mr. Rhodes's wife of 61 years, Elizabeth Harvey Rhodes; a daughter, Elizabeth; three sons, Tom, Scott and John J. Rhodes III, who served as a Republican in his father's old House seat from 1986 to 1992; and 12 grandchildren.

5 Reasons To Get Into Climbing
Rock climbing has always appealed to me. I remember watching Cliff Hanger as a teenager just thinking how cool it was and how exciting- a really daring sport.

Hot Chicken Paella (Equatorial Guinea)
Yield: 4 Servings
2 cups paella rice
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
4 chopped tomatoes, peeled
pinch saffron
pinch oregano
fresh chili (you choose how much)
2-3 pints chicken stock
1 cup white wine
4 chicken breasts
Chop the onion and garlic and fry gently in some oil. After they begin to brown add the herbs and a large pinch of salt and stir for 30 seconds before adding the tomato and chili. Let that all sweat for a few minutes before adding the rice and stirring it all in. Let this all simmer gently for a couple of minutes. The rice will quickly absorb the juice in the pan so then add the chicken stock. This should then all simmer for 20-30 minutes. It is done when there is no liquid left and the rice is plump. Whilst the rice simmers grill or BBQ the chicken breasts.

Main Ingredient: Chicken
Succotash (Equatorial Guinea)
Succotash is national food (dish) of Equatorial Guinea
Yield: 4-6 Servings
1 cup butter, divided
2 cups fresh lima beans
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons white sugar
4 ears fresh corn kernels, cut from the cob
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lima beans and salt, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan heat tomatoes, sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter. Cook until tomatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir tomatoes into lima beans and add corn; cook 10 minutes more.
Notes: "Succotash is such a dish. Made of Corn and Lima beans stewed in tomatoes, succotash is a hearty protein and starch sufficient "meal-in-one" or single pot dish. This dish is found in many parts of Africa and has also migrated to areas with large populations of ex-patriated (many against their will) Western African people. It is made throughout the Southern US for instance and is considered a respectable part of Southern Cuisine alongside classics like Fried Chicken, Hoppin' John and Pickled Vegetables, of which many dishes find their roots in Western Africa. Whereas it might be considered a side dish in the US, it would frequently be a main course in areas of poverty. It's nutritious and flavorful nature make it a favorite and national dish in Equatorial Guinea. "

|Full Name
|unknown - Comte de St. Germain (possibly: Leopold George)
|Birth Date
|1691 (possible)
|Death Date
|February 27, 1784
|Eckernforde, Germany
|Cause of Death
|old age
|University of Siena
|Francis II Rakoczi (possible)
|Violante Beatrice of Bavaria (possible)
St. Germain's parentage and circumstances of birth are shrouded in mystery, and are not known in terms of concrete fact. However, he claimed later in life to have been the legitimate son of Francis II Rakoczi, Prince of Transylvania, and his wife Violante Beatrice, the Duchess of Bavaria. Though St. Germain was renowned for inventing wild stories about himself and embellishing tales, this claim actually seems probable. St. Germain grew up wealthy, and recieved an aristocratic education, which would have required parents of high standing. He was also accepted by royalty all over the world and treated as an equal. When Rakoczi died, he mentioned in his will a son that was officially announced to have died at the age of 4. It is believed that St. Germain was likely that son, as there would be no sense in leaving a trust to a son that died decades ago. Historians speculate that his identity was likely concealed due to the persecution of the Habsburg lineage at the time.
St. Germain was educated by Gian Gastone de Medici, the last of the Medici family. If his parentage is to be believed, Medici was also his uncle-in-law.
St. Germain was an acquaintance of Horace Walpole.
St. Germain was hired by Louis XV of France for a diplomatic mission in 1749.
St. Germain met Giacomo Casanova several times, the first time being in Paris in 1757. Casanova was very impressed, and became an admirer. St. Germain had a deep influence on him.

Portobello roars as Dublin City's finest take front.
Did someone mention Ireland? Step aside The Pogues these Boys from the Better Land are here to smash the system and then build it back up again. As Record Store Day 2019 rampaged through Portobello's Rough Trade West a storm was brewing outside.
Newcomers Fontaines D.C are far from rookie in capability. Leaking out onto the street withwords soaked in an unvarnished Irish drawl and core tremoring riff's for days, the heaven's caved biblically as hail splintered out over the crowd sporadically and opportune. THANK GOD FOR PUNK.
A more inspired location for the groups consciously defined crowd conquer could not have been chosen. Heritage punk seeps through RTW greedily searching for the next generations takeover. The walls tremored and lurched as frontman Grian Chatten oozed anachronistic maturity and breathed life into the remnants of Sex Pistol glory days dust. Fontaines D.C are symbol of a time before their time. Contemporary relevancy is in abundance with an addictively candid attitude to match. Chatten daringly chants about 'Brits out' and 'A pregnant city with a Catholic mind'. If the crowd didn't know the words then, they certainly do now.

An elaborate Roman tombstone that dates back 1,800 years has been unearthed in England, and the find has archaeologists excited.
"It's incredibly rare," Neil Holbrook, chief executive of Cotswold Archaeology, the company that conducted the excavation, told Live Science. "We've only had it out of the ground 24 hours, but already it's created a massive amount of interest and debate."
The tombstone was excavated Feb. 25 at the site of a former parking garage in the town of Cirencester. The stone seems to mark the grave of a 27-year-old woman, as it bears an inscription that reads "D.M. BODICACIA CONIUNX VIXIT ANNOS XXVII.
If your Latin's a bit rusty, that means "To the spirit of the departed Bodica, wife, lived for 27 years."
(Story continues below photo.)
The tombstone's inscription.
Who was Bodica? Archaeologists aren't sure. Since the name is of Celtic rather than Roman origin, she may have been married to a habitant of Gaul or Rome, Holbrook told BBC News.
"What's weird is that the inscription only fills half of the panel, so there's a space left below it," he said. "You can see horizontal marking-out lines, so I guess what they were going to do was come back later when her husband died and add his name to the inscription."
But the inscription was poorly written, perhaps by someone who was illiterate, Holbrook told Live Science. Bodica's name is even misspelled as "Bodicacia."
If there's an answer to the mystery, it may lie in skeletal remains, including a skull, that also were found at the site.
Stay tuned.

Looking at the UART driver I see functions such as:
* uart_disable_intr_mask
* uart_enable_intr_mask
* uart_disable_rx_intr
* uart_enable_rx_intr
* uart_disable_tx_intr
* uart_enable_tx_intr
* uart_isr_free
* uart_intr_config
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to use these? For example, looking at uart_enable_intr_mask, I see that it has a parameter called "enable_mask" which appears to be a bit field but I'm having trouble finding the bit pattern description.

Re: How to use the UART interrupt handler ...
Howdy sir, I looked at the link you provided ... but I'm afraid it doesn't add anything at all to my understanding. When I go to the link you provide, all I see is:
How do I go from that to the possible bit patterns allowed to the high level API for function call "uart_enable_intr_mask"? My desire is to help the community as much as possible by pushing the ball forward. I want to make knowledge as clear and easy to consume as possible. What I want to do is have ESP32 consumed by anyone and everyone with as minimal an amount of effort as possible. Turning that around, if early community members learn something then we should make it clear for those who follow so that they don't have to do nearly as much work as we might at the beginning. Knowing that we have done the right thing will be its own reward.
Code: Select all
#define UART_INT_ENA_REG(i) (REG_UART_BASE(i) + 0xC)

Re: How to use the UART interrupt handler ...
Look below that. All the bits of that register are defined. Then look at an example of a mask in uart.c which uses an OR'ed combo of these bits.

Also known as the Spring Festival in China, the 2015 Chinese Lunar New Year unfurls as the Year of the Green Wood Sheep, weaving together creativity, homeliness, rejuvenation and new beginnings.Symbolised by the Carnation flower and the colours of red, purple and green, the Sheep (or Goat or Ram - where the Chinese Yang character is the same for all), is the decorative artisan of the twelve animals that formulate the Chinese Zodiac.
The Year of the Sheep, therefore, is an opportunity for us to focus on this creature's most distinguishable and life-sustaining attribute: its fleece. A versatile, pliable and textural fibre that has been utilised by human civilisations for millennia, wool has been transformed into many and varied forms through felting, knitting and weaving craftsmanship, to name but a few.
As one of the world's most ancient of crafts, where decorative artistic expression, durable usability and protection from the elements go hand in hand, rug weaving was cited in the Old Testament and Homer's Iliad. Weaving skills have been passed down through the generations of apprenticeships, and ultimately shaped our lives and the landscapes in which we live, as we have nurtured, herded and cultivated sheep and goat husbandry for the wool trade across the aeons of time.
The element of wool is the foundation yarn for most of our weavings here at The Oriental Rug Gallery Ltd, and reflected in a myriad of decorative and unique, individually-sourced pieces in stock. From a captivating array of unique tribal trappings including woven horse covers, Baluch saltbags and Tekke Turkman juvals that include goat's hair as well as sheeps' wool, through our colourful collections of wool kilims, elegant aubussons and fascinating sumaks, to works of weaving finesse, such as our fine quality kurk-wool rugs and sumptuous silk & wool-mix pieces and scatter cushions.
On the left, we feature a snap-shot of The Oriental Rug Gallery Ltd's decorative and stylish pieces currently in stock, that reflect the Chinese Year of the Sheep's colours and symbols, while displaying the hand-woven craftsmanship synonymous with this ancient wool-weaving craft.
From top: Second image: one of our Traditional With A Twist! New Arts & Crafts-inspired wool rugs, with motifs reminiscent of ram's horns, hand-woven in madder-red and ivory on a green 'abrash' background. Third image: a 'New Khotan' wool rug chosen from our 'Traditional & Decorative' pieces, displaying a carnation gul (flower) designed as a series of 'medallion' motifs, hand-woven in madder-red on a rich, silky ivory background. Fourth image: one of our tribal flatweaves in wool and cotton detailing a quatrefoil motif of stylised rams' horns, overlaid on an ivory background, sitting on a madder-red field. Fifth image: an antique and rare suzani, with a hand-spun all-silk foundation, overlaid with felted, woven gul medallions in varying hues of cochineal purple, with saffron and moss green embroidery.
As we Step into Spring, why not rejuvenate or enhance your home with one of our stylish and decorative wool weavings and celebrate the Year of the Sheep in style!

You can search for, compare and book the best Car Service deal in Frinton-on-Sea that best suits your needs, based on price, distance, availability and verified reviews. Book a garage quickly and easily with our online booking tool.
No upfront registration required, simply enter your registration number and postcode, compare prices, choose a garage which is local to you in Frinton-on-Sea and book your Car Service.
You can find the best deal in your area and you won't pay a penny until all of the work is complete, at which point you will pay the garage directly.
Our customer service team are always happy to help. If you want to speak to an expert mechanic about your vehicle today, call 0330 124 5662.
You need a garage in Frinton-on-Sea for your service but you don't know where to start looking. With BookMyGarage, you'll find 1 garage in Frinton-on-Sea, rated by other car owners and with fixed prices for work. Choose the date, time and price that are best for you then click to make your booking online.
How do you choose a garage for your service?
What is the first thing you do when it's time to choose a garage for your annual service? Do you just pick up the phone to the garage you've been using since you first drove a car - even if it's miles out of Frinton-on-Sea - because that's what you've always done? Do you ask friends for their recommendations? Or do you compare prices, speed and quality of service, and feedback for all the garages in and around Frinton-on-Sea? While this might seem the most systematic approach, it is also the most time-intensive. But BookMyGarage lets you do just that and book in your service with your chosen garage online at the same time.
What type of car service do you need?
Did you know that there are 3 main types of car service? The annual service is called a Full Service. It includes all the basic checks, maintenance and any essential work. It should also tell you about any signs of wear and tear. If you're often travelling beyond Frinton-on-Sea and clock up more than 12,000 miles in a year, consider booking your Full Service before the 12 months are up. It's a good idea to get a Major Service every couple of years (or 24,000 miles); this is a really thorough check of your vehicle that includes all essential maintenance as well as parts that should be replaced every 24 months. The third of the 3 main services is the Interim Service. Carried out every 6 months (or 6,000 miles), it is recommended if you regularly cover long distances, or if you know your car has problems.
What are common repairs your car may need?
One of the most common and critical car problems is a slipping clutch. How long a clutch lasts varies depending on the age and model of your car, the conditions you drive in, and the way you drive so the most important thing is to know how to spot a clutch problem when you're out driving in and around Frinton-on-Sea. You might find that the revs (RPMs) suddenly shoot up but the road speed doesn't increase. Acceleration may not be as effective as it once was. This will be more obvious in a manual car than in an automatic as the clutch usually slips during a gear change. Expect to pay in the region of £400 to have your clutch replaced but make sure you get the best service and price for you by checking Frinton-on-Sea garages with BookMyGarage.
What do you need from your garage?
We all have different needs, and choosing a garage is no different. For some of us, it's the quality of the overall service which matters most; not just the work that's done under the bonnet, but the human interaction that comes with it. BookMyGarage allows you to compare Frinton-on-Sea garages on everything from their waiting room refreshments or whether having your toddler in tow is going to be a problem, to how clearly the staff can explain the work your car requires.
By using the UK's leading garage comparison site you can...
Pick your service, MOT or repair and compare the prices and reviews of garages in your area.
You can pick a time and date, enter your details and book online, 24/7 - even when the garage is closed.
No credit card required. Just pay the garage directly, once they have completed the work.
If you would like, let others know about your experience and rate your garage for value, quality and helpfulness.

Lagoona Lake is the only lake on the main island of Roria, located between Routes 7 and 8. It has settlements on the shore, featuring a Day Care, Pokémon Centre, a hoverboard park and a laboratory for reviving fossils and underwater mining. Southwest monsoon induces continuous rainstorm, such that all battles here start with rain by default, and the Day Care Folks built glass roofs to shelter the town from erosion.
Notable Places
Lagoona Lab
The Lagoona Research Laboratory is located in the center of Lagoona Lake and shaped like a hemisphere. It is the place for underwater mining and fossil revival. To go underwater, talk to the blonde female scientist in the centre and use an UMV Battery to activate the Underwater Mining Vessel inside, which will bring the player to the Lagoona Trenches. If the player has run out of batteries, he or she will have to buy more with Robux from that scientist in the following packs:
|Amount of batteries
|Selling price (Robux)
|Price per battery
|No discount
|Approximately 3.67
|Appr. 27% off
|40% off
UMV Batteries can also be won at Hobo's Lucky Lotto in Anthian City - Shopping District. Meanwhile, the machine at far back is for reviving fossils. Talk to the male scientist next to that machine, and if the player has Fossils or Fossilized Eggs in his or her bag, he or she can choose the Fossil or Fossilized Egg required, and that scientist will put it into the machine. Within seconds, it will be revived to the corresponding Pokémon.
Day Care
- Main article: Lagoona Day Care
The Pokémon Day Care is a house where Trainers can leave their Pokémon while adventuring. After leaving Pokémon at the Day Care, a trainer can then retrieve their Pokémon later on, along with an EXP increase, level up and new moves if applicable. As in core series games, Day Care will not evolve Pokémon, even if the Pokémon has reached the level of evolution. The Day Care is also crucial for breeding, as if 2 Pokémon of opposite gender are deposited and both are in the same Egg Group, the player gets an egg after a short while. Legendary and Mythical Pokémon cannot breed, other than the event Pokémon Manaphy and Phione.
There is also a lady that has received 2 eggs from the Day Care and claims that she cannot raise both eggs, so she offers the player to choose either the white or black egg. The white egg is Zangoose and black egg is Seviper.
Fisherman House
The Fisherman House is the only normal house in Lagoona Lake. It is opposite to the exit leading to Route 8. The fisherman inside of the house will give players an Old Rod for fishing if they talk to him.
Hover Park
Hover Park is the latest addition to Lagoona Lake, located at the end of a passage between the Pokémon Day Care and the Pokémon Centre. Players can perform new manoeuvres and tricks with their new hoverboards acquired in Hero's Hoverboards. TM31 Brick Break is also located on an elevated platform that requires a hoverboard to jump onto it.
Wild Pokémon
Note: Rarity levels are estimations according to this scale and might be subject to changes due to different encounter assessment results.
|EV Yield
|Old Rod
|Lv. 10
|1 Speed
|1 Atk
|Good Rod
|Lv. 20
|1 Atk
|Lv. 26-30
|1 Atk
|2 Atk
|Click on the Pokémon names to check their learnsets on Bulbapedia. All Pokémon follow their movesets in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Hover on the item sprites to check the exact chance of being held by the Wild Pokémon. All information above only applies to the Normal Adventure Mode.
Roaming Pokémon are not listed in the table above. They are fixed at Lv. 40 and have a 0.1% chance of appearing anywhere in Roria with wild encounter methods specified here.
|Obtaining Location
|UMV Battery
|Purchase in Lagoona Lake Lab.
|Mystic Water
|Between 2 trees diagonally opposite to the fisherman house.
|Old Rod
|Given by a fisherman inside a house in front of the lake. Turn right after going down a staircase near the exit to Route 8.
|Requires Hoverboard
|TM31 Fighting
Brick Break
|On an elevated platform in Hover Park.
|Requires HM3 Surf
|TM83 Bug
|Northeastern section, behind a line of trees after landing from Surf.
|Some of the items have been added during certain updates, or are event-only. Please check the corresponding section for details.
- A resident mentioned that Lagoona Lake has frequent downpours and that the Day Care Folks built the glass roof to protect the town from erosion induced by the rainfall.
- From Version 0.17 Crescent Island update on 20th January, 2018 onwards, all battles on Lagoona Lake become naturally rainy. This allows Sliggoo to evolve into Goodra once it reaches Lv. 50 or above here.
- Lagoona Lake was formed millions of years ago by a meteor. As a result, there are many fossils and minerals, along with some Evolutionary Stones.
- The name "Lagoona" may possibly be based on of one of the battle arenas in side series game Pokémon Battle Revolution: the Lagoon Colosseum.
- The background music was based on Dewford Town, Hoenn from the core series game Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It has been changed to original soundtrack from Kyle Allen Music from the Free Access Update onwards.
- Lagoona Lake was one of the locations for the portal connecting Shadow Void to open overnight during the 2017 Halloween Event. HM3 Surf was needed in order to reach the portal.
- The Hover Park is most likely a convenient open space near Lagoona Day Care for players to hatch eggs easily while also enjoying their time at the park.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act is the hot topic today in Michigan. House Bill 5958 could change the way the state of Michigan does business. This bill will allow Christians who are on the extreme sector to have the freedom to discriminate. This would allow them to commit breaches in the low and in the social mores of the state.
They can refuse service to anyone, deny them employment or housing and do just about anything they want if it interferes with their religious beliefs. Though this bill has caused quite a stir, its full impact isn't even known at this point.
Then there is the conscience clause, and this is where it goes from scary to terrifying. If a Christian is working in the healthcare industry and doesn't agree with the medical care being provided, they can object based on their religious beliefs. The medical center would have to send the patient away based on that prejudice. So looking at this objectively, a pharmacist could say that a person was gay and it was against their beliefs, so they don't have to service them and give them their prescription. First responders and law enforcement has the same issues.
They can refuse to provide any sort of assistance to a person if they are not in agreement with their religious beliefs.
What is the state of Michigan thinking? Having a theocracy is a thing of the past and there are many people who don't believe in God. Some feel this is infringing upon others rights and there is a strong sense that the law could cause a public outcry if passed. It would mean that African Americans, gays and many other targeted minorities could be discriminated for their very basic necessities.

Mon, 04/16/2018 - 5:39pm admin
Aug. 10, 1928 —
April 6, 2018
Decorah - Glorianne L. Wicks, age 89, of Decorah, Iowa, died Friday evening, April 6, 2018 at Aase Haugen Senior Services in Decorah.
Funeral services were held on April 13, 2018 at Decorah Lutheran Church with Pastor Brenda Crossfield and Pastor Dave Sorenson. Burial was in Springwater Cemetery in rural Decorah.
Glorianne Lucille Wicks was born on Aug. 10, 1928 to Glen and Lillie (Erickson) Pierce in Decorah. Lillie passed away when Glorianne was 13-months-old. She was adopted by Theodore and Ellen (Erickson) Narveson.

Glorianne was baptized and confirmed at Decorah Lutheran Church and was a lifelong member. She worked as a surgical nurse for four years at the Smith Memorial Hospital in Decorah. After a 10-year period of nursing inactivity, she resumed those duties in 1964 at Aase Haugen Home, where she continued until her retirement in 1990.
Glorianne is survived by her five children, Janet McMillan of Waukon, Iowa, Darrel (Rosanne) of Waukon, Loren Wicks of Dubuque, Iowa, Richard (Staci) Wicks of Cresco, Iowa and Scott (Ronda) Wicks of Pleasantville, Iowa; 11 grandchildren, Katie (Brad) Stahl, Melissa Wicks, Derek Wicks, Jeremy Wicks, Jamie (Jessie) Wicks (and their two children, Carson and Ellie) Noel Lloyd, Seth Lloyd, Devin Wicks, Kirk Wicks, Jacob Wicks and Benjamin Wicks: a special niece who helped her in many ways, Cheryl Thompson of Decorah, and her niece, Elene Amundson; three nephews, Gywneth Aarhus, DuWayne Aarhus and Collin Aarhus; and her brother-in-law, Marvin Wicks.
She was preceded in death by her biological and adopted parents; three adoptive sisters, Joyce Narveson, Eunice Kirkeby and Glady Aarhus; one adoptive brother, Harold Narveson; her husband, Marion on June 24, 1993; and son-in-law, Dan McMillan on Nov. 21, 2001.

Idiot Columnist Warns that Conservatives Might Kill Pope Francis
On the economy and the "modern tyranny" of unfettered capitalism, he decries "the idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a truly human purpose".This kind of thing doesn't even really bug me. It's too stupid to get all fired up about but it does highlight how "conservative" Catholics are viewed by many, which is to say not as Catholics at all but frothing at the mouth, money hungry Neanderthals who don't like banjos at Mass, love babies, and hate women. That pretty much sums it up, right?
Given such radical views and desire to be accessible I would have concerns for his personal safety. Such reforms will inevitably upset many conservatives and his celebrity status could make him a target for assassination. Unique people like Pope Francis come along once in a generation, and they can be taken away in a second of madness or evil. What a tragedy if his safety was compromised by any relaxation in his security detail . . .

Many of you will go home over Easter or visit friends & family – it's time to use those networks to help you. The people you know could be key to your networking, where do they work, who do they know, who are their neighbours, friends etc?
Why not meet up with them, over a cuppa, and say that you are looking to get some experience over the summer.
Make sure that you are prepared though as they will want to know:
- What are you looking to do? Do you want to make contact with a particular company?
- Are there certain skills or knowledge that you want to gain?
- Are you looking for paid work or would you consider volunteering, maybe for a charity?
- Why not ask if you could 'shadow' someone at work?
- When would you be available ~ have a clear idea about how many hours you would like to work and on what days, we know you will want to revise for those exams as well!!
Remember you are asking for help so it may not pay to be too 'picky' or turn down opportunities that you don't think are ideal. Just have a conversation, remember a lot of skills are 'transferable' and you can reflect on the fact that you have used your time wisely during your vacation! Just think of the skills that you can add to your CV?
So why not go out and about this Easter to try and secure that Summer job, polish off your CV and have a list of family, friends or local businesses that you are going to approach.
There are also some really useful resources on vacation work in the UK on MyCareerHub and here is the link.
P.S. Don't forget that when you come back to campus why not make an appointment to see a careers advisor and discuss work experience opportunities. You can also get advice on how to highlight those transferable skills.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is seeking to improve accountability, protection and confidence of occupational schemes with its new three-year strategy, it has revealed.
In its Corporate Plan 2019 – 2022 published today, the regulator outlined how it plans to be more proactive and targeted in its approach to thousands of schemes across the defined benefit and defined contribution landscape.
It outlined six priorities to achieve better outcomes for members including more targeted interventions; promoting and enforcing high standards of trusteeship and governance; intervening where necessary with DB schemes and ensures workplace pension schemes can deliver benefits through significant change, such as Brexit.
TPR chief executive, Charles Counsell, said: "We are publishing this plan at a time of great change in both the pensions landscape and the way TPR works.
"By driving up participation in workplace pensions and holding those we regulate to account, we are protecting pension savers and the Pension Protection Fund and increasing confidence in pension saving. We are striving to deliver better retirement outcomes."
It will be writing to DB schemes, DC schemes and authorised master trusts setting out its expectations.
Furthermore, it will be monitoring thousands of schemes in relation to dividend payments, lengths of recovery plans, and efficient record keeping, while using a "rapid response team" to respond quickly to reports of major restructuring plans.
TPR chairman, Mark Boyle, said: "Trustees, employers and increasingly savers know we are taking a clear, quick and tough approach when holding to account those who fail to do the right thing by their scheme members.
"The past year has seen our first prosecution for fraud, our first custodial sentence, and the courts handing down the largest ever fine following a TPR prosecution. We have also seen a number of high profile cases being resolved, including Southern Water agreeing to pay £50m into its pension scheme under a shortened recovery plan.
"This year our corporate plan goes further to define the key outcomes that we aim to achieve through our work, and how we will evaluate those outcomes to demonstrate the effectiveness of our role."
It also outlined how it is building on its joint strategy with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), with plans to launch a joint review on of the consumer pensions journey, exploring how pension schemes and providers combine guidance and advice services.
TPR said it will continue to work with the Money and Pensions Service on DB to DC transfers to ensure they work effectively for members.

"Sweet with a kick ..so good"
"This wine has a delicious flavor with just a hint of carbonation. Perfect for drinking while sitting on your porch enjoying an evening sunset."
"This has been our family favorite for years and we share it with others regularly. Nearly all of our guests who have tried Rosso Dolce gravitate toward it during future visits even though we tend to offer at least 2 or 3 different wines. Rosso Dolce will continue to be a family favorite and we are pleased that it is available through Empire Wine at a reasonable price."
"I had received samples of Roscato Rosso at a local Olive Garden. Id never liked red wine before but I loved it. Buying it from Olive Garden was to difficult."
"For those who looking for a sweet blend wine, this is it. No harsh after taste or bitter dry sensation."
"The wine is absolutely tasteful. It's sweet and delicious!It also is the best wine to unwind."
"Amazing wine. Great price"
"Get it you will love it! ☺"
"Wow I've hated all red wines this one is awesome and a great price right from Italy. I found my fav drink. If u don't like dry and not too terribly sweet this is it!!!!"
"My party was a success with this wine, great taste!"
"I gave some of these as gifts for Christmas and everyone loves them."
"This is an exceptional sweet wine. Recommend to all!"
"I have never liked red wine. I've always been a white wine drinker. However, when my mother and I had lunch at Olive Garden recently she ordered it. I had a sip and loved it. Buying it from Empire Wine was great because of the price and shipping. Thank you!"
"Naturally sweet and fruity without being syrupy, Roscato Rosso Dolce has been our top pick for several years now. We've tried most of the sweeter wines on the market and this one has enough body and delightful flavors to hold itself far above any of the other sweet reds we've tried to date, foreign or domestic."
"Im a sweet wine man.This is the one.And I might add I have not found a better wine to saver with most dishes or just to pull up the ottoman and relax."
"The best way to describe it is Moscato, but red, and better. Not quite as sweet. I'm not a wine connoisseur, just someone that likes something that I can have with dinner or just because."
"It's the only read wine i drink great taste and smooth."
"This is my all time favorite wine. Not too sweet, and not too dry."

Your roof, gutters, and windows protect your home from significant weather damage. If any of these areas malfunctions, you need to call an expert right away. Winfield Builders, one of the top roofers in Silver Spring, MD, recommends investing in these projects to strengthen your home's protection against the weather:
- Roof Repair or Replacement: After a detailed inspection, your contractor will suggest the best steps to improve your system's condition. If the problems with your roof are limited to a small area, we may recommend repair. For a better and longer lasting solution, however, you should consider investing in a full replacement. A new roof may be more effective at improving your home's weather resistance—as well as energy efficiency and curbside appeal—than simply sealing the leaks or holes on your existing roof.
- Window Replacement: Moisture can enter your home not only through your roof, but also through leaky windows. Additionally, old windows tend to allow both heating and air conditioning to escape from your home, leading to an uncomfortable living space and higher energy bills. That's why we recommend installing new windows in Rockville, MD; our window replacements will give your home weather-tight protection in all seasons.
- Gutter Protection: Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of water damage in homes. When leaves and other debris accumulate in your gutters, the water can overflow onto your siding and foundation. Install our Champion Gutter Guard today to prevent debris accumulation and keep your gutters functioning properly.
Turn to Winfield Builders for help with repairing or installing new roofing, siding, gutter guards, and even new gutters in Annapolis, MD. Schedule a FREE consultation today by calling us at (301) 329-8295 or by completing our form. We'll be happy to assist you.

Sweet Pea
When people critique fragrances sometimes they''ll say "Smells like your grandma" or "old ladyish" and I understand that, but this Sweet Pea does make me think of pleasant times past...ok, my grandmother wore White Shoulders and didn't have a flower garden, but I smell this and imagine wrap around porches, iced tea, white lawn dresses and lazy southern Sunday afternoons with this scent drifting by on the breeze.

text: Newsletter SUBSCRIBE ARCHIVE PRINT SUBMIT NEWS September 16, 2012 As noted below in this week's Quick Poll results, of the specialty lens options listed, most respondents indicated that they expect to see the most growth in the scleral lens category over the next 2-3 years. Scleral lenses have without question made a resurgence in the last several years, and I have even heard some practitioners state that scleral lenses are supplanting corneal GP lenses in their practices. Our next issue of Contact Lens Spectrum, out in October, will address some of these trends in much greater detail. Jason J. Nichols, OD, MPH, PhD In Memoriam: Bruce Bridgewater, OD Bruce Bridgewater, OD passed away on September 1, 2012 after fighting a courageous battle with cancer. He was 54. A graduate of Ferris State University, College of Optometry, he served as a consultant for several contact lens manufacturers, including Paragon Vision Sciences, where he assisted in the development of novel contact lens technologies. In 1998 he founded Acuity One which develops and manufactures custom contact lens products. The company's first product, the UltraVue hydrogel multifocal, was ultimately acquired by CooperVision, Inc. Dr. Bridgewater was widely published in ophthalmic literature, including Contact Lens Spectrum, and lectured extensively at domestic and international symposia. He also owned a private practice in Scottsdale, AZ. Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses: New Educational Resource from J&J Research shows that many contact lens wearers are significantly non-compliant in virtually all active steps involved in soft contact lens wear, including hand washing, case hygiene, lens disinfection, and following the recommended lens replacement schedule. To assist practitioners in helping new and current contact lens wearers better understand how to safely wear and care for their contacts, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. has developed Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses, a new educational resource for in-office, website, and social media use. Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses offers helpful "Do's and Don'ts" for handling and wearing contact lenses and offers some easy-to-follow steps on how to reduce the risk of contact lens-related infection through proper use and care of lenses as well as lens-care products such as contact lens cases. It also includes a section for eyecare professionals and/or staff to fill out with patients to reinforce replacement schedules, proper cleaning and disinfecting techniques, and a reminder on when to change their contact lens case. Information about other resources where consumers can find helpful information about proper wear and care is also included. Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses is available in both PDF and print versions. The PDF copies, which practitioners can customize/personalize to include their contact information can be viewed and downloaded at www.ACUVUEProfessional.com/HVCL. The print versions include 50 tear-sheets on a pad. To request a pad, send your name and address to email@example.com. Allergan's Optometry Jumpstart Offers New 3D Vision Simulator App Earlier this year, Allergan launched the Optometry Jumpstart program designed to support recent optometry school graduates. Developed specifically to address the needs of new doctors, Optometry Jumpstart provides educational resources as well as the latest information on Allergan products, including access to product samples as well as patient assistance and savings programs. Recent graduates can learn more about Optometry Jumpstart and enroll in this free program at http://www.allerganodjumpstart.com. One of the newest resources from the Optometry Jumpstart program is free access to a 3D Vision Simulator application by EyeMagination for the iPad. The 3D Vision Simulator application visually simulates disease progression with anatomical views of eight common eye diseases to bring to life the corresponding patient point of view to help facilitate more impactful discussions between doctor and patient. The 3D Vision Simulator was recently made available to those who have already signed up for the program as well as new users. Free access to the application through Optometry Jumpstart lasts until July 2013. OHS "Blast from the Past" to Feature Contact Lenses in the Movies You are invited the Academy version of Access Hollywood. The Optometric Historical Society's "Blast from the Past" presentation at this year's American Academy of Optometry will feature OHS Board member Dr. Morton Greenspoon. His subject will be: Lights, Camera, Contacts: A History of Contact Lenses in the Movie Industry. Since 1951, Dr. Greenspoon has provided special effect contact lenses to the film industry. He changed Elvis Presley's eyes from blue to brown for his third movie, Flaming Star and provided Michael Jackson's wolf eyes for his transformation in the best selling video Thriller. Dr. Greenspoon received an Academy Award nomination for his work on Bram Stoker's Dracula. His most recent work has been in Pirates of the Caribbean and the Twilight Saga films. In addition to sharing his experiences with some of Hollywood's brightest stars, he will share the story of one of the first film moguls who was a contemporary of Thomas Edison and an optometrist. In 2008 Greenspoon received the American Academy of Optometry's Cornea and Contact Lens Section Founders Award for Innovation in contact lens science. All attendees at the Academy meeting, guests and students are invited to this exciting presentation which will be held in Room 229A of the Phoenix Convention Center on Friday, October 26, at 10 am. RegeneRx Receives Patent in Mexico RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. has received a patent in Mexico for the treatment of dry eye syndrome and glaucoma, among other medical indications, using Thymosin beta 4 (TB4), or its isoforms and fragments, derivatives and analogs. The patent is projected to expire in July 2026. The Company has similar issued patents or pending applications in major countries throughout the world. RegeneRx is focused on the development of a novel therapeutic peptide, Thymosin beta 4, for tissue and organ protection, repair and regeneration. RegeneRx currently has three drug candidates in clinical development for ophthalmic, cardiac and dermal indications, two strategic licensing agreements in China and the EU, and has an extensive worldwide patent portfolio covering its products. Contact Lens Insertion for the Very Blurry Patient Mark Greenwell, OD, Papillion, NE Picked up this tip from one of my long term EW presbyopes. John successfully wears an approximately +2.50 high add soft multifocal for 30 day overnight wear without any corneal repercussions. His main problem is seeing the lenses for insertion at the one month new lens exchange. His novel approach is to remove the left lens one night (using the right eye to see the removal procedure) then next morning inserting the new left lens. The next evening he removes the old right lens (using the new left lens to see) and next morning puts in the new right lens. He never has to insert both lenses at the same time, saving the hassle of the bilateral blurry insertion common to hyperopes. He remarked that the only time he has to put both lenses in at the same time is in our office! Glad John has a good sense of humor... ^ Back to top OCULAR SURFACE UPDATE Katherine M. Mastrota, MS, OD, FAAO Botulinum Toxin and Dry Eye, Part 3 In a case study series involving Sjogren's patients with dry eye and blepharospasm, Dr. Penny Asbell and her colleagues noticed a remarkable increase in tearing and a decrease in signs and symptoms of ocular surface disease in patients who received periorbital injections of botulinum toxin for the treatment of blepharospasm.1 Although there is a paucity of well-designed, double-blind, controlled studies, botulinum toxin injection into the eyelids and eyebrows is generally considered as the treatment of choice for blepharospasm.2 Dr. Asbell proposes that the mechanical effects of the relief of blepharospasm — less shear pressure on the tear film — resulted in increased tearing in the study group. An alternate study suggests that although botulinum toxin A injections were effective in relieving blepharospasm in the study patients, it was not successful in treating dry eye syndrome.3 It is important to consider that subjects in the latter group were not characterized as Sjogren's patients and that the commercially prepared botulinum toxin was not the same as the former group (Dysport vs. BOTOX). Finally, oral zinc and/or phytase supplementation has been shown to increase the degree and duration of botulinum toxin effect4 (commercially available by Rx as Zytaze) and administration of such may have a potentially meaningful role in the treatment of dry eye. 1.

Gromacki, OD, MS, FAAO Communication Breakdown When fitting daily disposable lenses we often extol the virtues of their simplicity, comfort, and ease of use to our patients. Since one of the reasons we may prescribe daily disposables is for improved compliance with lens replacement, we need to ensure that this is indeed occurring. By asking your daily disposable patients what solution they use (the answer should be none), you may soon realize they are re-using their lenses. Investigate whether they may be storing their lenses overnight, or whether they are using the solution to rinse before insertion. These practices may encourage further non-compliance and warrant re-education. Since we tend to also emphasize the value of daily disposables to a patient by explaining they won't have to purchase a bottle of solution on a regular basis, let your patients know that they really don't need any solution at all. If a lens falls on the floor, in the sink, or otherwise out of their eye, it is safest and easiest to just throw it away and open a fresh lens. If they feel they must use solution to put the lens in initially, I advise them to use the blister pack solution rather than a bottled solution. You can also educate your staff on these guidelines, so that they don't erroneously hand out contact lens solution care kits to these patients and negate all the information you just emphasized to the patient. Control the solution conversation by educating patients on why they don't need it and how to deal with potential situations before they arise. Use of Mini Scleral Contact Lenses in Moderate to Severe Dry Eye The purpose of this study was to evaluate fitting feasibility and efficacy of mini scleral contact lenses in moderate to severe dry eye patients. A prospective interventional case series, this study included those patients with grades III and IV dry eye disease, whose symptoms could not be controlled by conventional treatments. Demographic data, UCVA, BSCVA were evaluated before fitting. Mini scleral lens fit was assessed by a single experienced practitioner and best corrected vision with mini scleral lens was assessed. After dispensing mini scleral lens, BCVA with mini scleral lens, and possible contact lens related problems were assessed in each visit. Questions regarding ocular comfort, frequency of artificial tear use and contact lens handling problems were asked in each follow up visit. For those who did not choose to wear lenses, the reason was asked. All data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests. Twenty eyes of 13 patients were fitted. Mini scleral lenses were dispensed for 19 eyes and the assessment of fit was either ideal (n=9) or acceptable (n=10). Seven patients got their lenses; four patients (seven eyes) were satisfied with their lenses based on decrease in discomfort and dry eye symptoms, decrease artificial tear need frequency and improvement in visual acuity during mean follow up period of 18.25 months (range: 15-20). None of the study patients were affected with any contact lens related complication. Mini scleral contact lenses can be considered helpful in management of moderate to severe dry eye.

Are candles bad for you? They may be enchanting, but they could pose a big risk if you aren't careful.
Fire may be one of the most mesmerizing occurrences in nature. It can be destructive, but it also offers warmth and light. We can use fire as a tool for cooking and for shaping metal and glass. Candles bring this element into our homes in a small, controlled package.
Candles add ambiance to our dinners. We light them to help us create a relaxing atmosphere, and we use them in ceremonies from weddings to holidays. With so many beautiful and helpful uses, how are candles bad for you and your family? It all starts with how you use them.
Are Candles Bad for You?
What That Little Flame Can Mean.
As beautiful as they are, however, candles may pose a significant risk if they aren't used properly. A candle is, by nature, an open flame, at least to some extent. Even small candles like tea lights or candles in glass jars are an open flame that could cause problems.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), candles are responsible for an average of 24 home fires each day. Over a five-year period, "candles caused 2% of reported home fires, 3% of home fire deaths, 7% of home fire injuries, and 4% of the direct property damage in home fires."
Here are five more facts about candles and fire hazards to be aware of.
1. 11% of candle fires happened after falling asleep.
According to the American Red Cross, just under 1,000 home fires every year happen when people fall asleep with a lit candle. The NFPA adds that these fires also account for "21% of the associated deaths." Those are some pretty frightening numbers, and yet, it's easy to get distracted and forget that you have a candle or two burning. What can you do? Set an alarm any time you light a candle.
2. 59% of home candle fires happen because flammable items are too close to the candle.
Curtains, papers, books, fabric, dry plant leaves, furniture, decorations, and bedding are just some of the items that can quickly catch fire from a candle or stray spark. Both the American Red Cross and the NFPA recommend keeping candles at least 12 inches away from any flammable materials. Ready.gov points out that a small flame can turn into a major fire in 30 seconds, and researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute found that an entire room can become engulfed in flames in just over two minutes.
3. 37% of home candle fires start in the bedroom.
While candles can set the mood with some nice ambiance, there's nothing good that comes from something catching on fire. In fact, statistics from the NFPA note that "these fires caused 36% of the associated deaths and 51% of the associated injuries."
4. 11% of home candle fires happen in December, but that doesn't get you off the hook the rest of the year.
Holiday decorations are beautiful. They are also very flammable. With extra decorative candles, it's important to exercise caution and care. This is true any time of year, and though most people have more candles lit around the holidays, that's no reason to forget fire safety rules throughout the year.
5. 16% of home candle fires begin when candles are left unattended.
If you aren't in the same room as the candle, you'll never know that the cat knocked it over or that the wind blew the curtain too close. And as noted above, it only takes a few minutes for an entire home to become an inferno. If you have to leave the room, blow the candle out.
Are Candles Bad for You?
Easy Tips to Stay Safe
Despite the cautionary numbers, candles can be a lovely decorative element in our homes. A few simple rules, courtesy of the National Candle Association, will help you enjoy the light without running a big risk of fire.
- Always use a sturdy, heat-resistant candle holder.
- Place the candle holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Trim the wick to ¼ of an inch before lighting it.
- Always extinguish candles before you leave a room or go to sleep.
- Place candles away from drafts and vents to prevent flare-ups.
- Always extinguish a candle before it burns all the way down.

"To have another language is to possess a second soul."
Charlemagne, King of France, (AD 742-814)
Our aim in teaching languages is to develop children's natural fascination and facility with learning languages. Our provision is purposely broad and ambitious, starting in Reception and continuing through the school to Year 6.
Languages are an essential part of the curriculum at Lady Barn House School. Our last inspection commented that "the development of language skill is a particular strength of the school. Pupils are introduced to a wide variety of languages and they are keen to learn, showing a high level of understanding and a willingness to speak".
Specialist teaching
We have specialist teachers of French, Spanish, German and Mandarin and a dedicated teaching space for MFL.
Pupils at Lady Barn learn Spanish in Reception, followed by three years of Mandarin in Years 1, 2 and 3. An accelerated course in French is then taught in Years 4, 5 and 6.
Following the Year Six French Trip in March, the children return to school to learn conversational Spanish for their final term.
Year Six French trip
Year Six pupils look forward to an annual trip to the Pas de Calais region in France. They visit various places of historical, cultural and geographical interest and have ample opportunity to practise their French conversational skills.
Extra-curricular clubs
During their time at Lady Barn there is the opportunity to try other modern foreign and classical languages, with clubs in Spanish, Latin and German. Children may also attend Mandarin Club to continue their language skills after Year 3.
