Choosing a Pet Vitamin Supplement
Just like humans, animals also need a balanced diet that contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. However, for a healthy diet these are only the starting point. Vitamins and minerals are also needed by pets to keep healthy. Theoretically everything our pets need for a healthy and balanced diet is provided through high quality food. However, the question remains as to what is healthy and balanced? Each pet is different and needs a different vitamin supplement. Particular pet vitamin supplements may be needed by working animals, stressed out pets, sick or on restricted diets pets or animals recovering from surgery.
The highly polluted environment that we live in harms not only use but our pets as well. Less physical activity is accomplished by pets today than they used to. Important nutrients are destroyed by cooking and processing the food, so it is very important to look into a pet vitamin supplement. A pets state of health in certain situations can be improved by larger doses of pet vitamin supplements. It is always necessary for a balance however since an excess of nutrients can have the same effect as a deficiency. Metabolism can also be helped by a pet vitamin supplement.
Natural and synthetic are the two main groups of vitamins. Food sources contain the natural vitamins while synthetic ones are produced in labs to mirror their natural counterparts. There is no difference chemically, but a synthetic pet vitamin supplement will contain only the isolated substances that work more effectively in cases of deficiency. Other nutrients are included in natural pet vitamin supplements and can provide additional benefitsAmino Acids Supplements Information.
To ensure proper chemical balance in body fluids, blood and bone formation, proper nerve function, as well as muscle tone regulation then minerals are also required. As with vitamins, mineral supplements should only be taken in reasonable amounts otherwise they may do more harm. For example, excessive amounts of zinc can deplete copper.
Balanced Diet
Correcting deficiencies or just improving your pet's diet can be accomplished with a pet vitamin supplement. However, you should remember the important fact that minerals and vitamins work in combination. In addition to any treatment you should find a pet vitamin supplement that has well balanced minerals and vitamins. You can choose from a wide range of diet options today to ensure your pet's health. To improve their diet and keep them healthy you have lots of opportunities. A lot of support and help to enable your pet's immune system and boost its functioning can be offered by pet vitamin supplements. There are a large variety of forms and shapes to nutritional supplements so that they will respond to your pet's needs for nutrients. For both cats and dogs there are multivitamins that are available as tablets to chew or powder that can be mixed in their food. There is also the whole food option which is used to develop a natural pet vitamin supplement.
All pets are different and have different needs, there is no wonder pet vitamin supplement that will work on all pets. Going to the vet is definitely the best option if you want to ensure a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet for your pet. You vet will be able to examine your pet and give a pet vitamin supplement that will respond to your pet's specific needs Vitamins Diary.

New Vicar to talk at Association Meeting
Reverend Vicki Burrows, who was appointed as the new Vicar of the Parish of Radyr in February, will be speaking at the next General Meeting of the R&M Association on 17th June. Some people will have read her article in the lastest (June) edition of Radyr Chain and will aready know that she has an interesting story to tell about how she came to be our new vicar. And those who have attended a service in Christ Church, perhaps the Civic Service at the beginning of the May Festival, will know what a good speaker she is.
So this is an opportunity for you to hear more about Vicki's background and, no doubt, some of her ideas for how she sees her role in our Community for the future. Attendance at the meeting, in the Old Chucrh Rooms starting at 7:30pm, is open to all residents.
Other topics on the agenda include a short review of the recent May Festival (any feedback or ideas for the future greatly welcomed) and the Association's ideas for the development of the Community website.

We came across one of the most memorable Celtic stories involving a player and a supporter online a good few years ago. Apologies as the source has been lost in the mists of internet time but this is how we remember the story going .
We came across one of the most memorable Celtic stories involving a player and a supporter online a good few years ago. Apologies as the source has been lost in the mists of internet time but this is how we remember the story going . . .
One of the older members of the bus had a problem with a stutter which wasn't all that noticeable unless he was getting excited or wound up and then it became very obvious. This fan used to always maintain that when Harry Hood scored a hat-trick against Rangers in the 1973 League Cup semi-final at Hampden – the last Celtic player to score a hat-trick before the Ibrox club were liquidated – he did so with three headers. The more others on the bus would disagree with this old fella, the more worked up he would get and he would start stuttering and swearing all over the shop. It was a source of much merriment to everyone else.
In one of the many Edinburgh buses that transported Celtic fans from the capital home and away in the 80s and 90s, there was one regular argument that broke out surrounding a famous hat-trick by the 1970s star striker Harry Hood.
One day the bus, who normally stopped on their way to home games in Lanarkshire for some refreshments, went to Angels Hotel in Uddingston, long owned by none other than Mr Harry Hood. This was the old fella's chance to set the record straight and put down the detractors who for years had been claiming his memory was faulty. As luck would have it, Harry himself was behind the bar that day. The exchange went something like this:
Up went the old fella, a wee bit anxious about meeting one of his heroes: "Harry, do you remember that hat-trick you scored against R-R-Rangers at Hampden all those years ago?"
Harry responded: "Of course I do pal, what a night that was."
The old fella again: "Well you'll remember Harry, each of the goals that night you got with your head, didn't ye?"
Harry again responded: "No, it was two shots and a header that I got."
The old boy leaned over the bar, up to Harry Hood's face and said: "You're a f-f-f-f-f-fucking liar!"
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
The day after the semi-final the Daily Record declared him to be Harry Hoodini and the accompanying match report (and photos) confirmed that Harry's recollection of two shots and a header was bang on:
arry Hood was a popular striker among the Celtic support in the 1970s and they adapted a famous George Harrison song in his honour:
We don't need your Colin Stein, Eusebio or your Alan Gilzean
We've got someone twice as good
We've got Harry Hood!
Oh Harry Harry
Oh Lou Macari
Oh Kevin Barry
Oh Harry Hood! (Oh Harry Hood!)

Usually defined as balanced, most are actually underwhelming. Some can be good, but none are great, as a great Support Machine Gun would have an actual title, like Mauler, Havoc or Massacre.

An already busy flu season in Onslow County could get worse.
Onslow Memorial Hospital has seen an increase in the number of flu tests and in the number of tests that have come back positive compared to this time last year, said Gloria Powers, manager of infection prevention for the hospital.
Powers said there have been 500 flu tests performed in January, with 10 percent of those tests coming back positive for the flu. In January of 2017 there were 252 tests, with about 10 percent of those being positive.
"We've seen about double the number of tests and we're not yet in the peak of the season," Powers said.
The peak of the flu season in this area has traditionally been February and early March.
North Carolina saw 21 additional flu deaths during the week of Jan. 14, the worst week of the season to date. Since Oct. 1, 2017, a total of 67 flu-associated deaths have been reported, according to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
Carteret Health Care in Morehead City announced Friday that visitation to the hospital is limited due to the high levels of influenza in the community.
The restrictions include a limit of 1-2 visitors per patient at any time, including waiting areas. No children under the age of 18 should be in the hospital, including emergency department and outpatient areas, unless they are there for care.
Onslow Memorial did not have visitation restrictions in place as of Friday but anyone with a cold or flu like symptoms is asked not to visit patients in the hospital.
Flu symptoms include headache, muscle aches, cough, fever, sore throat and runny or stuffy nose.
Monica Risner, assistant manager of OMH emergency department, said anyone with a fever, difficulty breathing, or if flu-like symptoms improve but return with fever and cough should seek medical attention.
Risner said there is not a cure for the flu and it can't be treated with antibiotics but they can provide supportive care to treat the symptoms.
"We can't cure it but we can make you feel better," Risner said.
Health officials said the flu is contagious and those with flu-like symptoms should stay home to help prevent the spread of the flu.
"If you become sick with flu-like illness, you should remain at home except to get medical care or other necessities," Powers said. "If you must go out, wearing a mask can protect others and prevent your spreading of the flu. Also, if you have symptoms of flu, contact your provider about antiviral medications because they work best when started soon after symptoms begin."
A busy flu season and other winter illnesses are increasing emergency department visits as well as hospitalizations, according to Amy Sousa, senior vice president of public relations for the hospital.
"We strongly encourage people to get advice from a healthcare professional before visiting the emergency department. A provider can help determine if there are signs of a medical emergency," Sousa said.
Local health officials are urging area residents to take precautions to protect themselves and others as the flu season continues.
Onslow Memorial has stations with masks, tissue, and hand sanitizer that visitors can use as a precaution.
Washing hands thoroughly with soap or using hand sanitizer, especially after sneezing and coughing, reduces the spread of germs. Covering coughs and sneezes also helps.
Prevention is considered the best defense against the flu, including vaccination. If you haven't already gotten a flu shot, there is still time to do so before the peak season.
"Getting a flu shot is one of the best steps you can take to protect you and your family from the flu," said Angela Lee, director of the Onslow County Health Department.
Flu shots are available through a health care provider or the Onslow County Health Department.
"Each person, 6 months or older, can receive the vaccine. It is not too late to get one as we move into our traditional peak season. The health department also offers the high dose flu shot for those who are 65 and older," Lee said.
Reporter Jannette Pippin can be reached at 910-382-2557 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Christmas Food Appeal
With the Christmas season only weeks away, our minds are racing with shopping lists, what gifts to get family and friends, thoughts of taking a well-earned break, and arguably the best thing of all, indulging in some good food. When perusing the supermarket aisles during this season of giving, try to reflect about how fortunate you're family is to have someone like you making sure they always have a warm meal at home.
And if you have a pet, I'm sure he or she are grateful for you as well.
You always have your loved ones in your heart…during this time of the year we are just asking that you make a little more room in there for a starving street dog.
Especially during winter time.
During winter food resources are extremely limited for street dogs, this is why it's absolutely critical they receive nourishment to help them survive these unforgiving conditions.
"Encouraged by our supporters' reaction during past two Christmas campaigns, this year we decided to help even more dogs. Especially in a country like Romania, where dogs' problem is overwhelming, keeping a balance between the animals that we'd wish to help and the cold reality of how much money we have to afford that is always a battle. Against all obstacles, including a reduced support from the principal local sponsor with 40% , ROLDA manages to help approx. 1200 dogs, including the ones located in our shelters, on the streets, in temporarily medical care at the vet clinic and the poor people' pets.
Giving a generous Christmas meal to these suffering dogs is the least we can!" said Dana Costin,Founder of ROLDA.
Last year, our Christmas Food Appeal was very successful, many supporters opened their hearts and wallets to contribute toward fundraising for 5,913 warm meals!
Christmas Food Appeal 2016: Feeding Abandoned Dogs 365 Days of the Year!
At the beginning of this article, you saw what Lucky's meals look like. Leftovers, trash, small animal carcasses, and even empty plastic bags that smell like food. Lucky is a street dog. Hungry, full of parasites and suffering a chronic skin disease. Lucky is dependent on us all to live a decent life, to get medical help, and, maybe, even a home.

Tuesday, the House of Representatives will consider bills important to credit unions: H.R. 1408, the Mortgage Servicing Asset Capital
Requirements Act, and H.R. 1529, the Community Institution Mortgage Relief Act. CUNA strongly supports both measures: each represents a small step in the right direction toward removing barriers that keep credit unions from more fully serving their members.
H.R. 1408 would direct
federal banking regulators to further study appropriate capital requirements
for mortgage service assets held by nonsystemic banking institutions. It would put a temporary delay on the
implementation of the mortgage servicing rights aspect of NCUA's risk-based
capital proposal. In a letter
of support that we sent to the sponsors of the legislation, Representative
Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) and Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), earlier this year, we said:
Many credit unions retain the
servicing rights of loans they originate, retaining and developing their member
relationships. Under the National Credit Union Administration's Risk Based
Capital Proposal, higher risk weightings are placed on mortgage servicing assets.
CUNA strongly believes nothing should be done by regulation that would
negatively impact the relationship between a credit union and their
member-owners. Unnecessarily high risk weightings on mortgage servicing assets
could potentially make mortgages more costly to the consumer or disadvantageous
to the credit union to pursue these services.
1529, sponsored by Representatives Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Blaine Luetkemeyer
(R-MO) would make two changes to the Real Estate Settlements Procedures Act
(RESPA) to reduce the burden on small financial institutions. It would exempt
mortgage loans made by financial institutions under $10 billion in assets and
held in portfolio for three years from RESPA's escrow requirements; and, it
would also exempt mortgage servicers that service fewer than 20,000 mortgages
annually from the requirements of Section 6 of RESPA. We think these changes are important to
encourage credit unions to continue to offer certain higher-priced mortgages.
unfortunate thing about H.R. 1529, as we noted in our support
letter earlier this year, we believe the CFPB had authority under law right
now to provide these accommodations.
They have been unwilling to do so, which is why it is necessary for
Congress to act.

5 ways to break the ice with new flatmates
Here are 5 tried and tested ways to break the ice with your new flatmates – from someone who's been through the nerve-wracking experience of moving into halls!
1) Use a doorstop on move-in day
Doorstops don't just help when you're moving stuff from your room to the kitchen, they also signal that you're open to new flatmates popping their heads in and saying hello.
Using a doorstop on my move-in day really helped to get everyone chatting - not only me and my flatmates, but our parents too.
2) Plan flat outings
Trips out with your flatmates become more frequent as your first year plays out.
However, locking down some weekly outings with new housemates early on is a great idea.
When I moved into my flat, me and my flatmates planned a day of the week we'd all go to the same pub together, for example.
We chose a pub just down the road from our halls which hosted a quiz on the set day we'd chosen, and starting a tradition where we had to work as a team really helped us bond.
3) Offer cups of tea
A good cuppa goes an incredibly long way.
If you're stuck for an opening line when you meet a new flatmate, 'tea?' works like a charm.
A lot of my first conversations with my flatmates were had this way. Super simple, but always effective.
4) Go to the daytime Freshers events together
When you hear Freshers, clubbing, drinking and hangovers spring to mind.
And while Freshers' nights out are a great way to get to know your flatmates, you don't only want to do this after everyone's had a few shots.
I really recommend going to the daytime Freshers' fairs and events as a flat too.
It allows you to learn about each other's hobbies and interests and gives you loads to talk about and try together.
5) Explore your new city together
Taking trips around my uni city with my flatmates was a really good way to get to know them, and the place we'd be living in for 3+ years.
Getting your bearings together and finding your what'll become your favourite spots will help to initiate you into your new home - and the next chapter of your life with new friends.

Redundant Cabling &Abandoned Cable Removal
Old and abandoned cables pose a safety hazard and a risk to the health of your building's network
Whether you're conducting office cabling renovations or are overseeing a new site development, you will need to remove old and abandoned wiring and cabling in a safe, environmentally friendly manner while ensuring any live cable or equipment is not interrupted or disturbed.
This happens when companies go out of business or move away from a location. Commercial Property Managers who are leasing your offices, suites and retail locations need to ensure the property is clean and adequately prepared to meet the demands of the next tenant.
All this abandoned cabling can't be reused, however, so it will be a big but very necessary job to remove it all.
Dealing with Unnecessary and Redundant Cabling
Redundancy in cabling can be important for limiting downtime through backups, but over time this can accumulate and leave a business with kilometres of unnecessary or excess cabling in their building.
Depending on the organization standards of the cabling, figuring out what excess cabling can be removed and what needs to stay can be quite a job. But this is an important task for
The Risks of Abandoned Cable
There are quite a few dangers in simply leaving old cables and wiring in a building. For example, old cabling may be responsible for starting a fire or may contribute to unhealthy and potentially harmful air conditions. For this reason, abandoned cabling represents a significant risk from a legal liability standpoint.
Even low-voltage cabling removal carries a risk of fire or electrical shock. Taking the approach of "Better safe than sorry" certainly applies here!
Also, outdated cabling could mean that a property is now out of code. It may very well be mandatory to remove all the cable, rather than simply trying to hide it when installing the new structured cabling system.
Efficient, Cost-Effective and Safe
While cable removal can sometimes be a large task, it helps to work with a cabling contractor who is experienced and able to avoid any potential problems that may be encountered.
Careless work or trying to cut corners could result in unnecessary damage to the walls or building infrastructure — or it could lead to an injured worker. Excess cable removal can be delicate work and should not be attempted by someone who is not familiar with the risks.
A reliable cabling specialist will be able to use the most efficient, cost-effective and safe way to identify and remove old cabling, including buried or partially buried underground cable.
Environmentally Friendly Cable Removal
A big concern with redundant or abandoned cable removal has to do with recycling the old cables. Most out-of-date cabling systems are built with copper cable, and this can be recycled.
CORE Cabling takes a responsible and environmentally friendly approach to cable removal. We make sure that all cabling and plastics that are removed are disposed in a safe way to avoid unnecessary damage to the environment.
Work with CORE Cabling
The CORE Cabling team is Toronto's and the Greater Toronto Area's cost-effective cable installation and removal experts. As general cabling, network cabling, and server room demands change, dismantling, removing, containing and disposing of redundant wiring and cabling safely is important and delicate work.
Our team specializes in providing redundant cable removal services in a number of scenarios including:
- Underfloor data centre cable decommissions
- Overhead cable trays replacement
- Relocations of network cabling rooms or data centres

"In the heart of New York City lies an abandoned island." Thus begins Rachel Nuwer's Smithsonian piece on North Brother Island, situated between Manhattan and the Bronx and yet off many people's radar. Nuwer recounts the island's remarkable history, from uninhabited space to quarantine centre and back again.
The 2014 article was prompted by the publication of a book of photos by Christopher Payne, whose perspective is striking: "Most people view ruins as if they were looking into the past, but these buildings show what New York could be years from now. I see these photographs like windows into the future."

~ Creamy & Chunky Chicken & Mushroom Chowder ~
Whether it be a quick-to-make brothy soup or a long-simmered thick stew, a steamy-hot cup or a whole damned bowl of either is my idea of the ideal take-a-break and sit-down-to-eat meal. Add a handful of cooked noodles or rice and I'm as happy as a clam. Speaking of clams brings chunky chowder to mind, and, every time I make chowder, I ask the same question, "why don't I make this more often?" I love everything about it, right down to the little crackers that get crumbled in.
Chowder is a rich soup chocked full of chunky-chopped protein and vegetables. It's mostly associated with fish or seafood because it gets its name from the French word "chaudiere", which refers to the cauldron fishermen made their fresh stews in over open fires on the boat docks (with clam chowder being the most popular and most famous). That said, chowder can be made with any meat or poultry too. Here in America, chowders are made two ways: New England-style, with cream and/or milk in the broth, and, Manhattan-style, with tomatoes added to the broth. In the case of a well-made New England-style chowder, the broth should be rich, silky and slurpy -- not overly-thickened glop tasting of bland flour.
Once you drive South of New England, through the metropolitan areas of Boston or New York and Manhattan proper, and arrive here in the rural Northeast, you're more likely to find corn or chicken chowders on the menus of our eateries. It's only natural. The farther inland you go, access to fresh fish or seafood dwindles as the price skyrockets. That said, our farms consist of vast fields of sweet corn, and, if they don't raise dairy cows, they own a poultry farm. It's farm country.
6 tablespoons olive oil (Note: Chowder is traditionally started by frying bacon in the bottom of the pot. The crisp bacon is removed, chopped, and returned to the soup near the end of the process and/or used as garnish. The bacon drippings that remain are used to sauté the protein and/or vegetables. Feel free to skip the olive oil and use bacon drippings. That said, in this particular recipe, I do not. For my taste, bacon overpowers its luscious flavor.)
2 pounds uncooked, trimmed of any fat, 1/2" diced boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken tenderloins may be substituted)
16-18 ounces medium-diced yellow or sweet onion (about 3 cups)
12-14 ounce peeled and 1/4"-thick sliced carrots (about 3 cups)
8-10 ounces diced celery (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 pounds thinly-sliced crimini or white button mushroom caps, no stems, or a combination of both
4-8 large garlic cloves, run through a press, about 3-4 tablespoons pressed garlic
6 tablespoons salted butter
6 tablespoons Wondra quick-mixing flour for sauce and gravy
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups cream + up to 1 cup whole milk (to achieve desired consistency)
2 tablespoons dried herbes de Provence (a mixture of rosemary, marjoram, thyme and savory)
2 1/2-3 pounds gold potatoes, peeled and 3/4" diced (about 5-6 cups)
freshly-ground sea salt and peppercorn blend, added as directed throughout recipe
minced, fresh parsley, for garnish
mini-saltine crackers, for accompaniment
~Step 1. In a 14", 8-quart chef's pan (or an 8-quart Dutch oven), place the olive oil. Add the diced chicken, onion, carrots and celery. Season with sea salt and peppercorn blend (about 40 grinds salt and 50 grinds pepper). Adjust heat to medium-high and sauté, stirring almost constantly, until the chicken is just short of being cooked and the vegetables are softening, 8-10 minutes.
~Step 2. Sprinkle the garlic over the chicken and add the mushrooms to the pan. Briefly stir to combine. Season again with sea salt and peppercorn blend (about 40 grinds salt and 50 grinds pepper). Continue to sauté over medium-high heat until the mushrooms have lost their volume and moisture and almost no liquid remains in bottom of pan, 25-30 additional minutes.
~Step 3. Adjust heat to medium-low. Add butter to pan, followed by the flour and herbes de Provence. Stir constantly until ingredients are thoroughly combined and mixture is thickened and steaming, about 1 minute. Turn heat off just long enough to peel and dice potatoes as directed.
~Step 4. Add the chicken stock to pan, followed by the cream. Thoroughly stir. Add potatoes and adjust heat to medium- medium-high. Bring to a gentle, steady simmer. Continue to simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until potatoes are cooked through to their centers, 25-30 minutes. After potatoes are cooked, if desired, stir in some additional milk, to adjust consistency and simmer 1-2 more minutes. Cover pan and allow the mixture to steep, on the still warm stovetop, for 30-60 minutes, to give flavors time to marry.
Note: Leftover chowder will thicken in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, and, plan on needing to add additional milk to adjust consistency.
Five Quarts Creamy & Chunky Chicken & Mushroom Chowder:
Serve steaming hot garnished w/parsley & mini-saltines:
Creamy & Chunky Chicken & Mushroom Chowder: Recipe yields 5 quarts.
Special Equipment List: cutting board; chef's knife; vegetable peeler; garlic press; kitchen scale (optional but recommended) 14", 8-quart chef's pan w/straight-deep sides & lid, or, 8-quart Dutch oven w/lid; large slotted spoon and/or spatula; soup ladle
Cook's Note: I'm not gonna lie, I came up with this chowder recipe (today), because I had a package of boneless chicken thighs and a goodly amount of mushrooms leftover from my ~ Perfectly-Prepared Chicken and Mushroom Risotto ~ (which I made and posted over the Valentine's Day weekend). With a snowstorm happening in Happy Valley today, this chowder is going to be a warm and hearty, "winner, winner Wintertime dinner!"

text: Im currently near Weymouth until the 17th Aug and I want to go diving, I have all my gear with me. I dont have a buddy and one of the local dive shops is wanting me to pay £80 on top of the normal dive fee to provide a guide as I havent dived in the UK before, all my dives have been in the med sea. I am AOW but still a novice. Does this seem reasonable? I presume if I had a buddy this wouldnt be the case. If it is, its certainly putting me off diving in the UK.

What is a Conjunction?
This post 'What is a Conjunction' discusses extensively the different types in English with copious examples . A conjunction is a word that connects or joins words, phrases, clauses and sentences. It belongs to the Closed group of the Parts of Speech as all the conjunctions in English can be listed and no further addition can be made as characteristic of the Closed unit of the Parts of Speech.
Types of Conjunctions
There are different types of conjunctions in English as listed below:
Coordinating Conjunctions
A coordinating conjunction joins or links items of equal grammatical weight/status together. It connects each of the Units of Grammar together, that is, a word to another word, a phrase to another phrase, a clause to another clause and a sentence to another sentence. None of the items joined together by a coordinating conjunction is inferior or superior to the other.
A coordinating conjunction is also called a linker. In English, there are three (3) coordination conjunctions: they are: 'and', 'but' 'or' and these linkers must not be used anyhow. 'And' usually signifies addition, 'but' stipulates contrast, while 'or' indicates choice/alternative.
Examples of Coordinating Conjunctions
And (Addition)
- Bread and butter is a tasty breakfast. (Joins a word with another word)
- The boy and the girl are college students. (Joins a phrase with another phrase)
- Despite searching everywhere and (despite) enlisting the help of the police, the car could not be found. (Joins a clause with another clause)
- We cut the yam and we cooked it. (Joins a sentence with another sentence)
But (Contrast)
- It is not James but John who woke the baby. (Joins a word with another word).
- The solution he recommended is not sugar and water but salt and water. (Joins a phrase with another phrase)
- We prepared for the conference but we could not go. (Joins a clause with another clause)
- The man likes reading but his wife prefers watching movies. (Joins a sentence with another sentence)
Or (Choice/Alternative)
- Would you have rice or beans? (joins a word with another word)
- A sharp knife or a sharp scissors would cut it. (joins a phrase with another phrase)
- To travel by air or (to travel) by see is acceptable to the organisers. (joins a clause with another clause)
- Give me a bottle of water or give me a bottle of wine. (joins a sentence with another sentence)
It is imperative to state at this point that coordinating conjunctions are not part of the words, phrases, clauses or sentences they join or connect, hence the name linkers. Their purpose is to link items of equal grammatical status together. The coordinators in English can be syndetic or asyndetic. A syndetic coordination deals with linking two equal grammatical units with an overt coordinator as in:
- She believes in feminism and so is her friend.
- Give me a plate of rice or a plate of beans.
But in asyndetic coordination, an overt coordinator is not used to link two equal grammatical units together. See these examples below:
- The woman sold all her property; it is quite unfortunate.
- The villagers lost in the land dispute; there was not anger or protest.
Subordinating Conjunctions
A subordinating conjunction joins a dependent or subordinating clause to main verbs or independent clauses. In other words, it connects two items in which one is inferior or subordinated to the other. It is also a type of conjunction that introduces subordinate clauses. It is usually marked by the presence of a subordinators such as: because, where, although, when, that, after, while, why, despite, if, unless, before, until, etc. A subordinating conjunction can also be referred to as a binder. The sentences below exemplify subordination conjunctions. The subordinators in bold type introduces the subordinate clauses:
- We asked him why he was there. ('why' is the subordinator that introduces the clause 'why he was there')
- I could not go because she failed to remind me.
- Although she did her best, she failed the test.
- She could not remember when last she had a warm bath.
- He vowed not to relent until he set a new record.
- Unless an urgent step is taken, the disease will spread.
- You may leave if you do not see me by then.
Note that all subordinators are adjuncts. Subordinators can also be simple or complex. Simple subordinators are usually one-word subordinators e. g. since, because, if, although, when, where, etc. Complex subordinators are usually group of words e. g. in other word, no sooner…than, as if, as soon as, etc.
Correlating Conjunctions
We use these types of conjunctions in pairs. They are correlates and are usually in complementary variables or in complementary reciprocity. There is a correlation between the elements making up the conjunction. Examples of correlating conjunctions include: both…and, no sooner had…than, not only…but also, either…or, neither…nor, etc. Consider the sentences below:
- No sooner had he entered than he left again
- Either his mother or his father visits him on Sundays.
- Neither the woman nor her daughter was guilty of the crime.
- Not only the criminal but also his gangs got trapped in the house.
- It was both Janet and Jenny who served the punishment.
Semi-coordinating Conjunctions
Some other scholars agreed that these types of conjunctions exist. They share a bit of similarities with the coordinating conjunctions, though they are not exactly coordination conjunctions. Examples include: as well as, as much as, along with, together with, rather than, etc. We should note that they are usually separated by comma from the rest of the elements in the sentences where they occur. See their usage in the sentences below:
- The goalkeeper, along with the defenders, was responsible for the goal.
- The girl, as much as her mother, was guilty of the crime.
- Mary, along with Joseph, dines regularly in the restaurant.
- The man, together with his son, solved the knotty equation.
- Clothes, as well as jewelleries, are expensive in Lagos.
- The innocent boy, rather than his guilty sister, went to jail.
Looking at the examples of semi-coordinating conjunctions above, we see that they are parenthetical; in other words, their removal will not structurally or semantically affect the sentences in which they appear.
Marginal Conjunctions
Some scholars believed that these two words, 'still' and 'yet' are part of the coordinating conjunctions, but really, they are not. A better description for them is marginal conjunctions. Examples include:
- She read for the exams yet she failed.
- I came looking for him several times, still I did not meet him.
However, we cannot use these two marginal conjunctions together as some people do. It would be ungrammatical to say:
* She read for the exams still yet she failed.
NOTE: We cannot use any of the coordinating conjunctions together; but sometimes, we can use these two marginal conjunctions alongside the coordinating conjunctions. This is what makes them marginal rather than being part of the coordinating conjunctions. See the examples below:
- She paid for the brochure but still she did not get it.
- You can sit up or better still lie down.
- They caught him stealing and yet he kept arguing with the police.

By Chief K.Masimba Biriwasha
Harare, Zimbabwe – Steve Jobs without doubt affected my world view through his trendsetting personal computer designs.I know this post is rather overdue but its something that I had to take off my heart. I'm so convinced as exemplified by Steve Jobs' genius that when you follow your purpose you can touch the soul of the world.In my world, celebrating genius and excellence in whatever shape and form it comes is as vital as my every breath.
I first encountered Steve Jobs through his trendsetting "Think Different" advertising campaign. Even though I didn't own an Apple computer I – just like the rest of my friends – could not resist the temptation to just hang the "Think Different" campaign poster in my room.
Apparently, the campaign was created for Apple Computer in 1997 by the Los Angeles office of advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day. That campaign made me think of anything Apple as a smart alternative, an idea that was confirmed by the out-of-the box designs that defined Apple products. I guess the miracle lay in the text of the campaign which set Apple products apart by influencing a way of seeing the world:
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. – Apple Inc.
Apparently, the ad campaign marked the beginning of Apple's re-emergence as technical giant. Isn't it interesting that the "Think Different" has been criticized as a slogan for being grammatically incorrect. "Think" is a verb and should take the adverb, "differently", not the adjective, "different". The bottom line is that is broke the rules, and the campaign symbolised counterculture and leftist artsy intellectualism.
As I see it, the underlying philosophy of that ad campaign was that it did not trumpet product features and price but instead focused on brand image. In fact, a key rule of the campaign was that there would be no products in the ads.
Besides the products that he fashioned and his apparent genius, Jobs was tenacious, persistent and resilient. He suffered so many setbacks in his career but always came back with super-fantastic personal computing designs that wowed the whole world. According to Newsweek.com, Jobs didn't just create products that instilled lust in consumers and enriched his company.
All in all, Jobs was a brilliant and protean creator whose inventions so utterly transformed the allure of technology. To me, he left behind a concept that I will forever seek to apply in my life and work: the simplicity of intelligent design. Jobs valued simplicity, utility and beauty in ways that shaped his creative imagination. He certainly left a significant mark that will forever influence the age of the digital lifestyle.

Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary
The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary watch features a slender case and uses three hour markers to remind the wearer that it is 135 years since Cuervo y Sobrinos was founded in Havana, Cuba.
This detailed review of the Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary includes live images, specification details and pricing.
There have been many occasions when I have realised at the eleventh hour that I have overlooked my impending wedding anniversary. With an overwhelming sense of panic, I have driven to my nearest shop to acquire the obligatory card, flowers and chocolates, narrowly escaping the almost certain, and justified, wrath of my wife.
Now, Swiss watch brand, Cuervo y Sobrinos has devised the perfect aide memoire, marking the dial of its latest anniversary watch with '135' on the applicable hour markers. Cuervo y Sobrinos was founded in 1882 in Havana and from the outset earned a reputation for prestige and glamour. The company continues to fuse Swiss watchmaking prowess with the latin soul of the 'Pearl of the Caribbean', Cuba.
Recently, I was introduced to the 'first model of the 135th anniversary', implying that more models will be released during 2017, the Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary.
The dial
The brand describes the dial as 'velvety black', although I think its tone is more subtle than that; perhaps 'anthracite' would be a more apt description. It is certainly an elegant dial exuding a gentle, tasteful hue.
The Swiss maison also describes the hands as 'baton' style. Irrespective of their name, they certainly exhibit a modest air, quietly conversing with the silver toned, applied hour markers. While applied baton-like hour markers occupy most positions, bold Arabic numerals occupy the addresses at 1, 3 and 5 o'clock, a reminder of the anniversary being celebrated. At noon, the brand's flamboyant logo resides.
A recessed subdial, positioned above 6 o'clock, features a small running seconds, with the year of foundation and the current year straddling this display.
There is a notable elegance and grace to this dial. It avoids vulgar labelling proclaiming the anniversary, employing subtle markings to convey the importance of the current year.
Beyond its aesthetic beauty, this is a highly practical dial, proving simple to read and, despite the idiosyncratic use of Arabic numerals at 1, 3 and 5 o'clock, nothing detracts from the objective of imparting time cleanly.
The case
The 40mm case is usually ideal for small, slender wrists, however, I also found the diminutive proportions of this timepiece proved appropriate for my larger than average wrist. Part of the reason for the watch appearing suitable for my wrist relates to the elongated, articulated lugs which prominently protrude from the caseband.
This is a watch which cleverly plays with proportions. It is slender with a modest thickness of 7.1mm and, as such, hugs the wrist closely without its height protruding unduly or fouling a stylish shirt cuff.
Cuervo y Sobrinos intends to offer the Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary in both stainless steel and 18-carat rose gold. I personally prefer the simplicity of the stainless steel version and like the combination of this metal with the so-called 'black' dial. However, I accept this is merely a subjective opinion and some readers may not share my viewpoint, preferring the case formed of noble metal.
The crown sits close to the caseband, with little protrusion. The narrow slither of knurling does facilitate ease of winding and adjustment while delivering a very tidy aesthetic. The watch features an exhibition caseback bestowing views of the hand-wound movement within.
The movement
The Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary contains the hand-wound CYS 2052 movement (ETA 7001 base). This movement is a mere 2.50mm in depth, according a very flat profile and explaining the slenderness of the watch.
The balance has a frequency of 21,600 VpH (3 Hz) and the movement contains 17 jewels. The sole spring barrel confers 42 hours of autonomy.
Blued screws adorn the movement. Three bridges dominate the dorsal view of the movement. Two bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève motif or 'Geneva Stripes', while one bridge features Côtes de Genève Rayonnantes. The juxtaposition of the two motifs proves very attractive.
While this movement is not the last word in haute horlogerie, the finishing is very agreeable for this comparatively modest price point, namely €3,700.
Closing remarks
Cuervo y Sobrinos always delivers watches which are styled unlike any other brand's offerings. Some designs I find attractive while others are not to my liking. However, all are unique and highly original. The Historiador Clasico 135th Anniversary is very much to my liking and incorporates a very unusual and appealing reference to this significant year. The three digits '1', '3' and '5' tastefully usurp the usual hour batons and provide a very subtle and stylish reference to the year the company was founded.
The dial is simple to read while incorporating a few well chosen design elements to augment interest. The case is beautifully formed with its elongated articulated lugs. Moreover, the case is slender and its restrained diameter ensures that it does not unduly impose its presence upon the arm. The movement incorporates some pleasing finishing, including two juxtaposed motifs presented on the three prominent bridges.
Ultimately, I like this watch. It is handsome and comfortable to wear. If only it had '1' and '8' presented on the dial in Arabic numerals, I would never fail to remember an anniversary again.

Chop Chop is an Asian restaurant in central Tel Aviv with a focus on serving fast, fresh, healthy and modern food.
When we got involved, the restaurant needed a complete branding process, including naming, brand identity, packaging and spatial graphics. We were also tasked with the entire planning and interior design of the restaurant itself, including custom-made furniture and products.
The space had to be functional but inviting, able to hold dozens of people at once: ordering, paying and then obviously sitting and eating, at lunchtimes and evenings and then at nights for the clubbers in the area.
A major challenge of the project was to create a cohesive identity within a very small space, with the entire restaurant measuring only approximately 60sqm.
We chose the name to reflect the main fare of healthy ingredients chopped up and stir-fried in a wok. 'Chop chop' also means 'do something quickly', which fitted the fast-food concept.
With a tight budget we had to come up with relatively simple but creative solutions in order to maximize the spatial potential as well as the visual impact and the design aesthetics.
The final result was a mélange of Asian street-market imagery, a bright, bold color palette, big typography and collage techniques, combined with a high-end atmosphere that fits right into the heart of Tel Aviv.
Location: Tel-Aviv, Israel

For Ace Milner…
I love it when i WIN. Let me explain some quick concepts and tell you a lovely story about the WIN Strategy, where I learned what WINing is, and the methods I use to keep WINing. It comforts me enormously to write. A blank page is my personal retreat to compartmentalize and truly think.
Where on Earth did I learn something as obscure as the WIN Strategy? It may sound like one of many corporate strategies that shift frequently. It's not. Parker taught me how to make it a way of life. Similar to everything else Parker Hannifin and my peers under their employment taught me, it was repeated. Again. And again. And again… This kind of indoctrination is precisely what I needed. I suppose I craved structure even in my youth.
the following is what has been playing on repeat in my mind since 2002."The foundation of the Win Strategy formalized the idea that encouraging employees to take action and ownership in their work will enable us to improve our performance and achieve our goals."
Remember when I said I own my disease? If you missed it, see above. My peers and I were equally committed to fostering a clean and standardized workplace. We had a common goal–increasing efficiency. Parker challenged me to achieve this by rewarding me for anything, no matter how seemingly inconsequential, to expedite our arrival at our destination. The ultimate goal is the bottom line, and this is what Parker owns. From their corporate governance to the thick of the shipping bureau, the customer service desk, or the manufacturing floor, all follow the same line of thinking—if I can make my job easier (make more money for the company), why not do it (increase product flow from assembly to end-use hands, which results in better everything. Your product comes from manufacturing with more speed. Wait times decrease. Cash flow becomes invariably more fluid. And what does this wonderfully innovative and well-oiled machine create? A renewable energy source (or idea source) which comes not from some consulting company, but from the guy who spends his days running the machine, or the Order Desk worker getting reamed out by a client because they have open orders which haven't yet shipped. These are the people Parker empowers to improve performance.
And so, it was (and hopefully still is.)Sheer brilliance—when did asking the person who manufactures something how to make the process better become novel? Parker taught me much. University showed me to focus on the task at hand. All you need to do is open your eyes—it's as simple as that. In what is an almost Jobsian (I haven't been keeping up-to-date with my pop-culture knowledge—did I just make up a new word that pins the efficiency and creativity of Apple (I'm still and likely always will be a hater) onto the shoulder of Steve Jobs?) Regardless,, the indelible lessons learned over the course of my career are now serving me well. When I successfully navigate my way through the piecemeal setup in my bathroom and get into the shower autonomously, well folks, that's a WIN. When I get 6 loads of laundry done in a day (granted, it should never get that way—that's where ownership comes in,) that's a WIN. The fact that I have been off all pharmaceuticals since May is a huge WIN. So Parker's corporate mantra has been somewhat modified:
The foundation of the Win Strategy formalized the idea that encouraging employees to (I must) take action and ownership in their work (everything I do—trust me, it's all work) (it) will enable us (me) to improve our (my) performance and achieve our (my) goals."
The transformation of the philosophy behind everything Parker has been a tremendously beneficial thing for me, far as things go. It was only made possible when I paired everything Parker with University–I began to notice that 'I was able to take pause, orient my thoughts, and work through a problem. I owe just as much to two entry level University English classes as I do to Parker—they taught me business, school gave me focus, often an ability to see what is so blatantly obvious that it flew right by me. Notwithstanding, I have an overabundance of time to think. I have an affinity for obscurity—some ideas are good, some bad. As long as I keep trying, I will WIN.

It would appear that the arrival of March and the promise of Spring being just around the corner has prompted buyers to come out of hibernation as evidenced by the 29.3% increase in appointments booked last week. Friday March 8th the Appointment Centre booked 475 appointments, a one day total that has not been seen since early May 2018. Our Sold/Appointment Index is sitting at 14.8 appointments on average per property sold during the week. Stoney Creek appeared in our Top 5 Districts, along with the usual Hamilton Mountain, West and Centre. Price ranges in Burlington seem to have settled for the most part back toward the higher end, with some low and middle ground appearing. Overall, appointments in March are an astounding 25.1% higher than the same time frame last year - time will tell if this is a true spring trend!
