Horoscope or birth chart of every person is created on the position of planets at the time of birth and place. The planets move on the zodiac belt and as per their position at the time of birth, zodiac sign of persons are determined. These zodiac signs determine the astrology predictions from ancient times. Science predicted the perfect way of movements only in recent centuries. But it was astrology which determined their movements from time immemorial.
The sun is the stable planet and all the other planets rotate on their own axis and around the sun. Every day Earth finishes one full rotation clockwise on its own axis in 24 days. It takes one year or 365 days for Earth to finish one full rotation around the sun clockwise. Likewise, all the 9 planets complete clockwise rotations. When the planets start moving in the opposite direction, it is called retrograde in planets. Astrological predictions for these reverse rotations were determined by Vedic culture from ancient times even before it was discovered by science.

Generally speaking, anything out of the ordinary or on the reverse or backside is bad news. But as per astrology, even this motion signifies good and bad astrological effects as per zodiac signs. Except for the sun and moon which do not experience retrograde motion while other planets maintain a period of retrograde in their rotations around the sun. Hence except for Cancer and Leo, whose ruling planets are Sun and Moon, all have different levels of challenging effects as per the period of retrogrades.
In certain times the retrograde motion in planets appears due to the Earth's own position and movements. Retrograde motion in planets makes them stay in a particular zodiac sign for a longer period. The following list is the retrograde periods in the coming year 2019.
The 7 planets excluding Sun and Moon have retrograde periods and their effects on 12 zodiac signs in their respective houses are given below:
"Mercury retrograde" is the much-hyped phrase in today's astrology. This is because it retrogrades more than any other planet in a given year. The quick movement of this planet makes it have 3 to 4 retrograde periods per year with a duration of approximately 20 days for each retrograde cycle. In the coming year, mercury has three retrograde periods which include
Gemini and Virgo natives, whose ruling planet is mercury, will suffer from misunderstandings and confusion in communication during the retrograde period of 68 days next year. Mercury is a planet which highlights communication and could bring in negative influence during the retrograde period. Decision making is commonly challenged during the retrograde period of mercury.
Read in detail: Mercury Retrograde in 2019
Taurus and Libra natives ruled by the planet Venus does not have to worry about the retrograde period of Venus. This is because Venus does not turn retrograde in 2019
The retrograde period of Jupiter planet in 2019 is 123 days from April 10th to August 11th. Sagittarius natives, who are ruled by Jupiter, will possess unimaginable abilities and become capable of completing tasks that could have not been possible in other days. It is a good time for the Sagittarius natives for retrospection of their life for a better future.

Aries natives ruled by Mars planet face no issues with retrograde of Mars because there isn't one in for Mars in 2019.
April 30th to September 18th of 2019 is the retrograde period of 141 days. Capricorn natives with Saturn or Shani as their ruling planet should reorganize and restructure their life with long-term goals and should relate to others in a responsible manner. Saturn is the planet of justice. The magnitude of its impact could change drastically during the retrograde period.
162 retrograde days of Pluto planet is a good time to reflect on how the Scorpio natives can go with change and transformation. Pluto spends nearly 21 years in each sign of the Zodiac and takes nearly 250 years to do a complete revolution around the sun.
Uranus spends nearly 7 years in each sign of the zodiac and takes 84 years for a complete revolution around the sun. Almost the entire first 8 months of 2019 are direct period and 147 days are retrograde for Aquarius natives in 2019. January 1st to Jan 6th and August 12th to December 31st are the retrograde periods for Uranus in 2019. This is the time for Aquarius natives to focus on their freedom from various worldly worries and commitments.
The retrograde period of 146 days in 2019 for Neptune ruled Pisces natives marks the time for inner tranquility and spirituality. Future should be the focus during this period. The retrograde period is from June 21st to November 27th in 2019 for Neptune which takes 164 years to do a complete revolution around the sun, which makes it spend nearly 14 years in each sign of the zodiac.
The above retrograde dates of all the planets will help in doing and avoiding certain activities to make life beautiful and meaningful.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Nationwide is forecasting a neutral outlook for 2019 after finding that demand for housing is slipping in response to rising mortgage rates and despite a strong labor market and positive household formations, according to the company's latest Health of Housing Markets Report.
"While house price growth has decelerated in recent quarters, poor housing affordability continues to weigh on the outlook for housing," said David Berson, Nationwide senior vice president and chief economist. "Several years of rapid price appreciation and rising mortgage rates have begun to reduce homebuyer appetite for purchases."
Additionally, Nationwide found that the demand metrics of its Leading Index of Healthy Housing Markets remain positive with an ultra-low unemployment rate and continued solid job gains. Demographics are also supportive of housing demand as the millennial generation ages into their prime homebuying years.
For most areas across the country, demand factors are generally positive. However, supply conditions remain tight, with affordability remaining a growing concern. Nationwide said price appreciation is still at an unsustainable pace in many local housing markets. Regionally, nearly half of the index's performance rankings show a neutral rating, also suggestive of a mixed outlook for housing growth next year.
Finally, Nationwide said that faster household formations are sustaining demand, with total formations across the country accelerating in recent quarters to move above the long-term trend following years of below-average expansion of households. Solid job and income gains are putting potential homebuyers in much better financial shape for a purchase, Nationwide found.

India Server Market Revenues Grew YoY Marginally by 0.8% to Reach $280.1 Million in 3Q19, IDC India Reports
NEW DELHI, December 17, 2019 - The overall server market in India witnessed a Year-over-Year (YoY) growth of 0.8% in terms of revenue to reach $280.1 million in CY 3Q19 versus $277.8 million in CY 3Q18, according to the latest IDC Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker, 3Q19, December 2019 release. This growth is majorly driven by non-x86 server market as it registered big deals from large public and private banks in India during 3Q19.
The x86 server market in terms of revenue declined YoY by 6.1% to reach $239.0 million in 3Q19 from $254.6 million in 3Q18. Even though the x86 server market had declined, verticals such as banking, government, and manufacturing grew with the YoY growth of 125.4%, 24.0%, and 3.5% respectively in the x86 server market during 3Q19.
The non-x86 server market increased YoY by 77.3% to reach $41.2 million in revenue, in 3Q19. For the third quarter in 2019, HPE has overtaken IBM and now leads the market with a revenue share of 48.4%. IBM stands at the second position with a revenue share of 45.4 % followed by Oracle with 6.1% during 3Q19. Banking remains the top vertical with 83.2% revenue share followed by manufacturing and professional services with 9.9%, and 3.1 % respectively, during 3Q19.
Vendor Highlights:
Source: IDC WW Quarterly Server Tracker, 3Q19, December 2019 release
In 3Q19, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Dell Technologies tied for the number one position in the India server market claiming a revenue share of 27.1% and 26.5% respectively. HPE registered a revenue of $64.7 million with major deals coming from telco, government and banking vertical. Dell Technologies registered revenue of $63.4 million with major deals in banking, manufacturing and telco. Cisco stood at the third position growing YoY by 24.3% and claiming a revenue share of 10.8% to reach at $25.8 million, while Acer Group came at fourth grabbing revenue share of 2.9% and a revenue of $6.9 million owing to the big win from state ICT development project.
"Despite poor economic performance and deals getting spilled over, we have noticed verticals such as BFSI, government and manufacturing driving the growth of overall server market in India during 3Q19 " says Harshal Udatewar, Market Analyst, Server, IDC India.
IDC India Forecast
The poor performance of the Indian economy is expected to hamper the local manufacturing demand, keeping it low and thereby affecting the IT spend. For 4Q19 and the year 2020, we are expecting government and BFSI investments to have a positive effect on the compute spend. In telco, spend from projects such as OSS, BSS, IMS stack for VoLTE, VRAN, and 5G testbed programs towards 5G development would continue to grow throughout 2020. In addition, local cloud service providers will continue to invest in expanding their infra capacity in the coming quarters.

"After years of development, both the capacity and the output of pesticides in China are at the forefront in the world and China has become one of the most important producers and exporters. However, problems like unreasonable product structure, repeated construction; overcapacity and chaotic management not only have large impact on the development of pesticide industry, but also exert negative influence on food safety and the environment in China. As one of the most important factors that influence China's pesticide industry development, policies issued by the Chinese government always have great significance in guiding the whole pesticide industry.
In 2013, a series of policies were issued for pesticides, which have great effects on some fields in pesticide industry and help push forward further healthy development of this industry. For instance, the apparent increase of the price index of pesticides in 2013 can be mainly attributable to the environmental policies, which is an emphasized point in pesticide industry. And policies such as the restriction of high toxic pesticides and some other management regulations also shows progress made in pesticide industry in China.
In this report, the major pesticide policies in China in 2013 had been described and deeply analysised from the following aspects:
– Overview of pesticide policies in 2013
– Policies on pesticide industry
– Policies on biopesticides
– Policies on herbicides
– Policies on insecticides
– Some local pesticides policies
– Interpretation of policies in pesticide industry in 2013
– Policies' effect on current pesticide industry
– Trend of policies in pesticide industry in 2014

I had a successful valentines day last year that ended up being one of the best days of the year and did great things for our relationship.
I took my girlfriend on an outdoor adventure all day in Snoqualmie a mountain pass near where I live. Of course there was dinner afterwards and a memorable sunset. It didn't break my bank but it was special and a unique time that she remembers. The success stems from a single truth that nature is sexy.
Sunsets are romantic, big waterfalls are exciting and trees are calming. The perfect mixture of stimulating experiences that nature offers… for free too makes adventuring outdoors a great idea.
So this valentines day, with fear of sounding like a commercial, think of taking a day trip to a place in nature. You'll probably find yourself loving it even if you're skeptical right now and it will have all types of positive impacts on your relationship.
Have fun this valentines day.

The Times of Israel reports:
Eduard Dolinsky, the director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, made the accusation on Facebook against Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the news website evreiskiy.kiev.ua reported, after Nalyvaichenko said his organization needed to base its work on the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or UPA, which murdered thousands of Jews in the '40s.
"Instead of creating a modern, high-tech security service, Nalyvaichenko proposes the revival of highly questionable methods from 80 years ago," Dolinsky wrote, noting this seems to include the "attitudes and actions of UPA against the Jews and the Poles." According to Yad Vashem, UPA under Stephan Bandera "considered the Soviets and the Jews their main enemies."
Dolinsky also said that several years ago, the security service under Nalyvaichenko published a list "that consisted entirely of Jewish surnames" of people allegedly responsible for the famine that killed millions in Ukraine in the 1930s. More.

8/12 = 184.6 – calories – 1800 – 2800 – Off
8/13 – 184.4 -1965 – 2850 – Shoulder fail 65×1
8/14 – 184 – 2000 – 2800 – Pullups 55×3 / BB curl 100×3
8/15 – 184.6 — Squats 260×4 reps
8/16 – 182 lbs – 3500 – 3100 Bench 215×3
Not the best week in training this week. Shoulders failed and so did bench yesterday. It was strange because my warm-ups felt heavy to me and I did the workout on my high carb / calorie day. I expected to come in and hit a new PR, but the opposite happened. A little worried because the last time I hit 225lbs my bench REGRESSED. I have no idea why, but it seems once I try to push past 225 on bench, I go in the opposite direction. I did hit chest on Saturday and I usually hit it on Sunday, so maybe I should have taken the day off and hit it today instead. Disappointing though, I really hate days like that in the gym. I feel like it sets me back.
I'll just move on and pretend it didn't happen. I may try to stick to 5 days a week though, instead of hitting my muscles on a cycle that moves around weekly. I'll probably take two days off during the week and just keep that consistent.
As for other muscles, squats were fine and hit a new PR on those. Pullups and Barbell curls saw another PR with 240lbs (bodyweight + 55lbs of added weight) x 4 reps and BB curls 100lbs x 3 reps. So the week did see some increases. I honestly think my bench was screwed over by my shoulders. They didn't feel 100% going in to the workout and its probably what limited me.
Found a few new exercises for traps and shoulders. Behind the head lat pulldowns lights the upper traps and rear shoulders up. I was pretty shocked out how effective they were for hitting that area and I will definitely incorporate those into my pull days. Also did a shoulder shocker, I saw on T nation. Its a front raise with a weight plate for 3 sets of 8-12 reps, followed by lateral raises for 3 sets of 8-12 reps, the followed by a dumbbell clean and press 3 sets of 8-12 reps. It basically lit my shoulders on fire. I will definitely incorporate this into my push days in the future.
6 low days and 1 cheat period between Friday night and Saturday night. On the low days I aimed for 1800-2000 calories with 140-150 protein, 55-60 fat (some days higher) and 190-230 grams of carbs.
The high day included pizza from Bertuccis, sweet frog with cereal and a decent amount of alcohol with friends. I hit around 3500 which was more than I was looking to hit, but I'm not to worried about it.
I must admit lowering protein in my diet requires a lot of effort. I only reduced it a little bit, but it really is hard to limit the meat at each meal. Basically the main switch was one scoop of protein powder instead of two and I have 4 oz of meat with lunch and dinner and not 6 oz. Small changes, but they add up. I also dropped a fiber a little too. Fiber is tricky, because you need some, but you can also get too much and doing so has negative consequences. With the extra carbs in my diet, I dont feel like I need as many vegetables anyway.
I also read some Ray Peat dietary views this week. Strange guy, but his nutritional insights are pretty impressive and different than the norm. He's a fan of sugar for upregulating hormones and states that many of the negatives of sugar, actually are due to polyunsaturated fats. When those two mix the results aren't favorable. I still prefer starch over sugar, but I do agree with a lot of what he said, including the fact that low carb diets are generally a bad idea and running on stress hormones and trying to burn fat all the time is a bad idea. Basically when you dont eat sugar (or carbs) your body will either take the protein and fat you eat and turn it into carbs or take it from your muscle tissue or other organs. So obviously the body needs sugar to function, because if it doesnt get it and it will basically eat bodily tissues in order to "artificially" produce sugar. It makes sense that carb are the body's optimal fuel and I definitely fell better with carbs in my diet. Some of his views on food get taken too far though and this is where I start to disagree with him. Sorry man, not going to eat your small list of foods. Bottom line is carbs are generally good, protein needs to be adequate (100-150 gram according to him) and fat should be primarily saturated, but not excessive in the diet. Too much fat interferes with glucose metabolism.
As for my eat this week, I've had protein pudding and a sweet potato for breakfast everday. Lunch has been meat and butter bread and dinner was basically the same. Really been downing some Nature's Own butter bread here recently, but its cheap, tastes awesome and its a really good low fat carb source.

For kicks I'm moving the usual "Friday fun video" post to Wednesday.
There's a connection between scooters and ska. I don't know all the details, but if you are surprised, just trust me. (Something about the time frames in England, I bet, but I'm not getting into the whole Mod vs. Rocker thing. I don't even know about all that!)
The two-tone checker pattern is all over ska stuff. Again, if you're surprised, just trust me. (Sadly I don't have the time or knowledge to have a music-specific blog. Can anyone recommend a good ethnomusicologist blog?)
Here's a classic Specials song*. If you want to hear more good ska, then check out Generoso's radio show. http://wmbr.mit.edu/www/sched-tue#bovine Generoso's Bovine Ska and Rocksteady show can be heard on 88.1 FM midnight to 2 AM every Tuesday night in Boston. You can also listen to it online (see the link).
*Turns out it's a remake of Dandy Livingston's original version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZWWUQNSV2E

Speaker Becky Lockhart (Republican – Provo) came out swinging Monday as she addressed the House she will run for the next 45 days.
Sometimes defiant, sometimes hopeful, Lockhart warns that we are "at risk for not being ready for tomorrow."
"Our economy is growing, but not as robustly as they should. Our schools are teaching, but not as effectively as they must. Our traffic is moving, but not as efficiently as we would like. Our state is breathtakingly beautiful, but blanked by dirty air and severe pollution," Lockhart told the body. "There is a sense that we are settling for the stale, status quo."
Lockheart went on to praise parents in the education system and the need to give teachers the tools they need to teach. She also acknowledged that education has changed and that policymakers need to accept that students are simply different than the blackboard and cracked books of days gone by. "Schools should think big, we need nothing less than an education renaissance in Utah."
Speaker Lockhart also called out the idea of raising the gas tax, an idea recently proposed by Representative Jim Nielson (Republican – Bountiful). Instead, Lockhart praised the efforts of the recently formed, bipartisan, Clean Air Caucus and their work to incentivise voluntary programs and work with business. Lockhart wants to know, "Is it the Utah way," to force citizens to drive only on certain days or to live only in certain places?
The Speaker made it a point to call out the federal government and Governor Herbert. "Every time a state surrenders, or a governor gives in [to federal intrusions], the state grows weaker, poorer, and less free," Lockhart said to applause.
Lockhart proceeded to call out Herbert's decision to accept Medicaid funding after nearly a year of internal debate. "[Obamacare] is not just a trick, it is a trap. It is an out-in-the-open bait-and-switch, and it will leave us worse off sooner than we think." Lockhart then suggested that the body "drop a copy of the [US] Constitution inside [an envelope] and stamp it 'return to sender'" whenever the federal government provides "unfunded mandates."
"We need energy in the executive [branch], not an inaction figure in the Governor's Office." Lockhart told the somewhat surprised crowd as she called the governor to task for, as she put it, scrambling to fund federal mandates.
The former Attorney General, John Swallow, was also a focus of the Speaker. Lockhart called this "one of the saddest chapters [she] has seen in her time [on the hill]… and it did not come cheap. But, if nothing else, we should resolve that honest government doesn't come at a discount and public integrity has no price."
In a press conference held after the State of the House, Lockhart stepped back her words slightly, noting it wasn't just Herbert who needed to take more action, but all policy makers. However, during the same outing with the media, she reaffirmed her stance on not pressing forward on the gas tax and letting government take an educational, and not adversarial role.
In that same press conference, Lockhart also stated that the famous Zion Curtain is not effective alcohol policy and that it is appropriate for the Attorney General to fight for keeping Amendment 3 in place as it was voted for and approved by the citizens of Utah. She did not immediately back away from the proposed nondiscrimination ordinance, or the overturning of Amendment 3, so long as it comes from the state and not the federal government.

Arguably the oldest and most distinguished garden trade show in the world, the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in London is packed with lush plants and besotted gardeners. Held during spring in the spacious grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, it is centred in a vast marquee filled with the finest display of flowering plants I've ever seen: massed fuschias, chrysanthemums, roses, peonies and countless others.
At the heart of the exhibits, the famous Hillier nurseries assembled a vast array of plants at the peak of their perfection. Nearby, Flora Toscana from Pescia in Italy had a handsome display of South African and Australian shrubs, including many Protea species, Waratahs, Banksia baxteris and Banksia menziesiis.
Outside the marquee were a number of spectacular show gardens, each following a specific theme. One featured a series of gardens suitable for the lobbies and terraces of apartment buildings, intensively planted with Australian tree ferns and other shade-loving plants; another, enfolded by Japanese maples, was inspired by the Kyoto Imperial Palace gardens. Perhaps the most architectural was the Jeremy Vine Texture Garden, with its geometric concrete forms capturing pockets of moss, in views framed by dwarf Pinus mugo.
Of course like any trade show there was the counterbalance of the ordinary: acres of garden furniture and gazebos, hothouses clipped together with frameless glass, and a lot of very average garden sculptures. But for the true garden enthusiast, the range of design ideas and plant material at Chelsea is breathtaking.
Like going to Venice for the architecture Biennale, the Chelsea Garden Show is something that any interested person should visit at least once in their lifetime!

Don Lemon responds to Trump's personally insulting tweet after Lemon's interview of LeBron James
Don Lemon has a ten-minute reply to the insulting tweet that Donald Trump sent on Friday regarding Lemon's interview with LeBron James.
Lemon felt it necessary to respond, as a journalist. Chris Cuomo led in to his remarks at the end of Chris's show.
LeBron James is producing a series on basketball, "Shut Up and Dribble" for Showtime, to premier in October. The series will deal in part with the pressure on athletes to become active in political and social causes and remain politically correct.
James opened a school for at-risk kids in Akron, Ohio. James has said that service should be expected of everyone.

BEIJING - More than 400 Shandong entrepreneurs attended a video conference and held live dialogues with key management of the Punjab Business Investment and Trade Commission (PBIT) and discussed cooperation in equipment manufacturing and trade.
Shandong Equipment Manufacturing Association president Ms. Gao Ling, said that the video conference is a new attempt for cooperation between the two parties. Through video conferences, a more precise and efficient way of cooperation is sought, according to a report of China Economic Daily.
She believes that both sides will have a very broad space for cooperation and development prospects and also hopes that the Shandong Equipment Manufacturing Association can become a bridge of friendship, a bond of exchanges, and a platform for cooperation.
China Department of the Investment and Trade Commission of the Province of Punjab director Muhammad Sohail Qadri said in a speech that Punjab accounts for 55% of Pakistan's population, contributes nearly 60% to the country's GDP, and has 68,000 industrial units.
Punjab and Shandong have always been friendly provinces. It is worth sharing that 80% of China's investment in Punjab comes from Shandong Province. Shandong agriculture, automobile manufacturing, chemical industry, light industry centers and the pharmaceutical industry, many potential investors to invest in industry booming Punjab market has shown strong interest.
It can be emphasized that Punjab is the best destination for investors and there are many opportunities in textiles, agriculture, automobile manufacturing, light industry information technology, real estate, health, energy and tourism. Agriculture is still a pillar industry of Pakistan. Pakistan encourages vigorous development of agricultural parks, introduces new methods and technologies, and encourages crops with potential for import substitution, including oilseeds and cotton.
The leadership of the Punjab Investment and Trade Commission emphasized that in recent years, 45% of Pakistan's total automotive industry has been established in Punjab, creating many job opportunities for the local people and the automotive manufacturing center in Faisalabad. Top industries established in Punjab include Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Renault, Foton, Deli Glass, etc.
According to market surveys, Punjab has a complete textile production chain, unlike many developing countries. Punjab also has a large textile industry, including socks and carpets.
The video conference for the two countries will provide viewers a unique opportunity for both sides to share and exchange ideas beneficial to promote both the deeper economic ties.
The Punjab Investment and Trade Commission is a provincial trade and investment promotion agency established by the Punjab government in 2009. Its core functions are divided into four sides: investment promotion, investment consulting, China unit (project and policy research), and marketing and activities.
Shandong Provincial Equipment Manufacturing Association was established on December 28, 2016. It is a provincial, comprehensive, industrial, and non-profit social organization approved and registered by the Shandong Provincial Department of Civil Affairs.

Hello Lovelies!
To follow up on gallery wall around the TV, I think a gallery wall above the sofa looks good. This for sure will not be a home decor faux pas. Let's imagine the worst, different size of framed pictures and art scatter all over the place or a small art on the big wall behind the couch is just awkward. Ideally, it makes total sense to group all your collection in one place in the house. It is a perfect statement for any wall. Persuaded or not, check these gorgeous gallery walls.
via. Emily Henderson
You hear it from the experts. To have a feel-good space, consider these steps if you want to hang an art collection:
- Select to hang the pictures and artwork you love
- Add different size of frames for an interesting look
- Have one or two big frame/art for a big impact
- Measure and cut your frames' size on brown paper
- Next, try different layout on the floor until you get the best layout
- Don't forget to leave height inches between the top of the sofa and the base of the frame
- Finally, before you insert holes on the wall, mimic the selected layouts on your wall
Thank you for reading, stay Fancy and come back again.

As the heat of summer increases, my heat tolerance decreases. Do y'all remember the old "Take the Nestea plunge!" commercials? Some days in summer I think I could absolutely do the falling in the pool fully clothed. I'd have to get me a pool first. Will a kiddie pool count?
My daughter Kala is expecting her second child. As I mentioned before, my son was born during the middle of June. Even though my second grandson is due in the middle of July, which is still late in my book. I just want to let you ladies that are due in August and September know that I feel for y'all. "Lord have mercy on y'all", as my aunt would say.
Jimmy will always tell people that his wife must have air conditioning. I get ribbed about it all the time from him, too. Let me tell ya, that man isn't going too long without it either. If y'all see a strange man doing laps around a store during the summer, it's probably him. He is getting in his exercise minus the storms, gnats, heat, etc. Oh, tell him to buy me some popsicles or ice cream while he's at it. We all have to stay cool this summer, right? It will probably make it look like he was just looking walking around the store trying to remember what his wife wanted.
I hope you are keeping it cool this summer. Here are some recipes to help you take a plunge into the cool side.
Mock champagne
This is good for the wedding and baby showers you may have coming up! It's pretty good to have any ol' day with friends, too.
• 1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice (or bottled)
• 3 liters bottles ginger ale
• 1 64 fluid ounce bottle white grape juice
1. Chill all ingredients.
2. Pour into a punchbowl and serve.
You can divide ingredients and place in gallon pitchers, keep one in fridge while serving other.
Soda pops
Use your favorite flavor of soda such as root beer, cream soda, orange soda, etc. to make these flavorful popsicles. You can place the mixture in a large freezer-safe container and remove when mixture is slushy for a great slush, too.
This is a refreshing treat for a hot summer day that our family really enjoys. Diet soda can be used to cut calories. We often refer to them as Pop Pops.
• 20 oz. soda (beverage)
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract or rum flavoring (depending on flavor of soda)
1. Pour soda into a bowl and whisk until no longer bubbles; set aside.
2. Pour water into a heavy saucepan. Slowly stir in sugar. Place over medium high heat.
3. Stir continuously until sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes. Slowly stir mixture into soda.
4. Heat water and sugar in a saucepan over medium high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in extract or flavoring.
6. Stir sugar mixture into soda.
7. Pour soda into icicle molds or disposable cups.
8. Insert sticks for popsicles.
9. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours to 6 hours but preferably overnight.

Welcome to our PTA
Who are the PTA?
The Parent Teacher Association is a group of parents and staff who dedicate some free time to plan, organise and help fundraising and events within the school throughout the year.
As parents of children at the school, everyone is welcome to join and get involved with the PTA and the events we run. There is a myth that once you are a member, you are in for life! We can reassure you that is certainly not the case; you can get involved as much or as little as you like. However we do rely on parents and teachers volunteering their time, otherwise the great fundraising events for the school just wouldn't happen, so we are grateful to those who offer their time. Even if you can only commit to helping out just once a year, it all helps.
It is also a great way to get to know other parents and have a say in how we fundraise and support our school.
Why does the school need the PTA?
The fundraising events raise money for the school to pay for much needed 'extras' which are not provided by the school's shrinking budget. These 'extras' benefit all of our children and support their education, funds are raised for the good of all students from Reception through to Year 6.
How your PTA works
How is the money spent?
Any money we raise goes towards buying new equipment for the school and to help fund major school projects. Our current focus is raising money towards a new school library.
What happens at meetings?
We normally hold meetings a couple of times each term, sometimes more if we are planning events. We chat, we decide how the money is raised and how it is spent. We discuss ideas and organise the events and when the school needs us to help out. Event planning meetings are usually held in the Sapcote club in the evenings. If you have any suggestions or ideas and/or would like a say in how money is raised and spent, please come along to the meetings. There is no pressure to attend every meeting, so feel free to join us whenever you can. The meeting dates are normally communicated via the school newsletter, which is published every Monday.
How we get information to you!
We have a Facebook page which is 'All Saints PTA'; please check for updates. We will also be issuing newsletters on a regular basis; this will keep you up to date with how much we have raised and future events. We also include information on the school newsletter, so keep an eye out for updates on here too.
How you can help
New and existing members are always welcome. There are many ways you can help:

Assigned Certifiers facing jail? BC(A)R SI.9
by Bregs Blog admin team
The following opinion piece was submitted on 21st May 2014 by a registered architect. Issues mentioned in this opinion piece may affect any one of the registered professions qualified to undertake the role of Assigned Certifier. As this is an opinion piece, we do not endorse or recommend any practices, interpretations or duties in this post.
Discussion around the new duties on those architects and others acting as "Assigned Certifier" under BC(A)R 2014 has focussed on civil liability to clients, tenants, purchasers etc.. This paper draws attention to the criminal liability involved in not providing the building control authority with documentation they require to validate a Certificate of Completion.
S.I.9 – Part IIIC – Certificate of Compliance on Completion, article 20F(5) says:-
"Where the building control authority considers that a Certificate of Compliance on Completion may not be valid … they may within 21 days of receipt of the certificate, write to the person who submitted the certificate and … (ii) require the person submitting the certificate to submit such revised certificate or such additional documentation as may be deemed necessary by the building control authority to accompany the certificate for the purposes of paragraphs (3) and (4)."
Article 6A of S.I. 9 of 2014 says:-
"Failure to comply with any requirement under Parts II, III, IIIA, IIIB or IIIC shall be an offence to which section 17(2) of the Act of 1990 applies."
So if the BCA require additional documentation, and if the Assigned Certifier does not comply, the Certifier commits an offence to which s.17(2) of the Act applies.
Section 17(2) of the Building Control Act of 1990 says:-
17 (2) A person guilty of an offence …. shall be liable—
(a) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £800, or, at the discretion of the court, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to both the fine and the imprisonment and, if the offence is carried on after conviction, such person shall be guilty of a further offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £150 per day in respect of each day on which the offence is continued, or
(b) on conviction on indictment, to a fine not exceeding £10,000 or, at the discretion of the court, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both the fine and the imprisonment.
RIAI advice in relation to the criminal liability of the Assigned Certifier
The RIAI has advised that "Insurers have confirmed PII cover will be available for Assigned Certifiers".
PII policies cover the insured person in respect of civil liability. It is not possible to obtain insurance cover in respect of a criminal act. It follows that PII cover will be no help if the BCA require you to provide documents and you will not or cannot do so.
The RIAI circulated the detailed "Opinion of Counsel" dated 4 September 2013, where Mr. Gavin Ralston SC considers the question of liability under the headings of:- liability in contract, liability in tort, and liability for others. He does not mention criminal liability. He also says "As I have observed at the outset, the onus of complying with the amended Building Regulations falls upon the "owner"."
From this, he appears not to have considered that the failure of an Assigned Certifier to comply with a requirement of the BCA to provide information in connection with a Certificate of Completion would be a criminal offence.
Criminal liability of an employee acting as Assigned Certifier
It has been said that an Employer's PII covers an employee signing a Certificate of Completion or otherwise acting as Assigned Certifier. The problem is that PII does not cover criminal liability. At this moment, it is unclear whether the employer would have a vicarious criminal liability in respect of an employee who failed to comply with a BCA requirement for information with a Completion certificate.
It is difficult to see how an employee who signs a Certificate of Completion can avoid personal criminal liability if she or he is unable to provide information required by a BCA.
Was this criminalization of the Assigned Certifier deliberate?
Presumably. Introducing the new regulations, the Minister said:- "If anyone signs a statutory certificate for a building which subsequently proves to be non-compliant, they can be held legally liable for the consequences".
So let's all hope together as follows:-
Let's all hope the BCA never requires Completion Certificate documents which the AC cannot provide. What documents might those be?
- Test reports for impact glazing, and the glass came from …. where, and no test reports are available?
- CE papers to show fitness for purpose of the OSB in the floor, which came from … where? (They make a lot of inexpensive OSB in China)
- Test reports on the aggregate, from an excavation subcontractor who might have gone into liquidation (There is no pyrite in the aggregate, is there?)
- Documents from the main contractor, but who busy preparing a disruption claim, arising out of the architect's failure to certify Practical Completion because the BCA won't validate the Completion Certificate, and because the contractor needs or just wants to make a few bob
And let's all hope that when you explain to the BCA that you tried really really hard, but cannot get the documents, they tell you That's All Right Then. We don't need them. We were only joking. And the fact that you promised when you signed the Assignment Form to give them to us – that doesn't matter either.
Relax! These things never happen in Real Life!

Century Office's sit/stand workstation, Autonomy Pro, was first introduced to the market in 2016 as an affordable and high quality alternative to the more costly sit/stands on the market, continuing Century Office's quest to bring ergonomic furnishing solutions to the masses.
With a multitude of features, the Autonomy Pro is greatly versatile and comes in a range of finishes and versions. A particularly exciting one is the Autonomy Pro Crescent sit/stand, a corner variant of the desk. This aligns perfectly with the idea behind the Autonomy Pro, a concept that champions flexibility. The Autonomy Pro Crescent allows for optimal utilisation of the given office space, as corners can be maximised to reach their full design potential.
Beyond the highly adaptable element of the Autonomy Pro Crescent, it also gives the user autonomy over their workstation. The height of the Autonomy Pro utilises the latest technology allowing the height adjustable desk to be increased from 640mm to 1300mm at the touch of a button. The sit/stand desk can evenly lift 130kgs, which means there is no need to clear the worktop before adjusting the height to suit work & activity patterns, making changing its height hassle free. Furthermore, the Century Office desk has two memory settings, meaning that the workstation can be set according to the users' preference (a sitting and standing height) which allows further personalisation of desk and individual space.
The Autonomy Pro is not only affordable when first bought, but remains an economical advantage throughout usage. The sit/stand comes with a sleep mode to reduce energy consumption, making it economically efficient and green. It also comes with various safety features such as the anti-crush sensor (which will detect any obstructions), and concealed moving parts.
Ergonomics are essential in the office environment to ensure good posture and prevent back and neck pain. It is therefore imperative that companies purchase good ergonomic sit/stand desks to improve employee's quality of living by minimalising pressure on muscles and joints, increasing blood flow and hindering muscle deterioration.
The Autonomy Pro Crescent sit/stand desk helps to ensure that the workplace is not only a flexible space but an ergonomically friendly one as well.
Century Office stock the Autonomy Pro in a range of finishes including Beech, Maple, Oak, Walnut and White, but can also supply as well as a number of colours such as black, silver and mocha, making it perfectly adaptable to personal choice and style.
Century Office are a leading UK office and contract furniture supplier, with over 40 years' experience in the industry. Based in Colchester, Essex, they provide workplace solutions and offer a tailored approach for architects, interior designers and facility managers for small offices to large corporations as well as educational facilities.
Century Office have a full range of ergonomic seating and have recently launched two ranges of affordable electric sit-stand height adjustable desks, Liberty and Autonomy Pro.

How do I submit a query regarding my new private detective novel "Blood Vengeance"?
The novel is complete and carefully proofread, and is ready for serious consideration.
I am checking around for a new publisher as the one I have now cannot publish as many as I write. I have fans that want a new novel at least every three months. I write westerns with every location true to the times. Please check out my web site where I personally sell and sell twenty to 90 novels a month. People that want novels signed order from me. I was the only author invited to the National Barbwire convention in Moriarty, New Mexico where I sold one hundred and sixty one novels in six hours and many more to those people in the last year.
Five Star Publishing
My name is Charlie Barnett I write western novels . I am a member of Western Writers of America. I now have three novels on Kindle, I also have self published novels on my website:
http://www.gateswoodbooks.com I have finished a novel that is quite lengthy I'm looking to get published by a well known publisher as Five Star Publishing if possible. I love your website and have read most of your western authors.
My novel " Run Johnny Run," is quite long, a tad over hundred thousand words, it is on disc in Microsoft Word. It has been professional edited and finished. In 1876 in southern Montana a log cabin was burned down by the by the Lakota, Cheyenne Indians the only survivor was a 11 year-old boy Johnny Herein.
I personally think will be a good read for the entire family, there is no vulgar language or text to embarrass mom or dad if Jr. gets hold of the novel. I am a cow boy from South Alabama and love to write.
Do let me send you this manuscript for your approval.
Phone: 251 931-0102
e mail: email@example.com
I have a complete manuscript I would like to submit. Title: YOUNG OUTLAWS (almost). It is about several young boys all under the age of twelve that do fantastic things in the old west. Every location in my novels are true and can be visited today.
How do I go about sending this?
Thanks, Paul L Thompson

to a beer tasting at the local science museum, the McWane Center. It was called the Science of Beer and had a number of micro-brews available to taste, along with hors d'oeuvres. Now DH is a beer snob. He lived in Germany for several years, so he does have an excuse. They even had a number of beers that I liked. I'm not fan of your traditional american lager. I never developed a taste for it. I prefer ciders or wines to beer. The malt and hops are just not my thing. But I tried several fruit lambics that were really nice. And one specialty beer made with strawberries and balsamic vinegar that was very good.
The folks who run the store for home brewers, AlaBrew, were there with several displays of equipment and flavorings for your own brews. DH brews his own beer, and occasionally makes me a batch of wine or cider. I think I've finally finished the last batch of raspberry zinfandel that he made 4 or 5 years ago. The wines he makes are good. The folks who drink his beer think its good too. I'm not the person to ask about that. 😉 It was a nice night, and the response was much more than the folks at the McWane Center expected.

Classic shrimp rolls get a tropical spin with a flavor-packed mix of fresh Mexican chorizo and a cilantro-based pesto-like sauce. It's deeply comforting signature Caribbean dish, and it's best served with an ice-cold Red Stripe and side of plantain chips.
How to Make It
Place water and 2 tablespoons of the salt in a large pot; bring to a boil over high. Add shrimp; cook just until opaque, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a colander; rinse under cold water until cooled, about 2 minutes. Drain and roughly chop. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
Place canola oil in a medium skillet; heat over medium. Add chorizo links; cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes. Cut chorizo into 1/4-inch-thick slices; add to shrimp in bowl.
Place parsley, cilantro, oregano, shallot, and garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped, about 10 seconds. Add olive oil, lime juice, crushed red pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt; process until well combined, about 10 seconds. Add ½ cup of the parsley-cilantro mixture to shrimp and chorizo in bowl; toss to coat. Stir together remaining parsley-cilantro mixture and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Spread mayonnaise mixture inside split rolls; fill with shrimp-chorizo mixture. Close rolls, and cut each in half to serve.

Joel O'Brien
Joel O'Brien has just successfully completed his 4 year apprenticeship with Oceanside Services in October 2017.
Here's his Q&A:
Question 1: What do you like most about plumbing and the career you have chosen?
Joel: I like working in different types of plumbing jobs as I see it as a challenge. I also like to work in different locations of the Gold Coast.
Question 2: What is your most memorable, funniest or grossest story while working with Oceanside Services?
Joel: One day I reached into a pipe with my gloves that was completely full of sewerage to pull out some tree roots. After I had removed the tree roots I noticed the gloves had torn and were full of sewer waste.
Question 3: Tell us a story where you have gone above and beyond for someone during work.
Joel: I was driving to a job and noticed an elderly lady on the footpath. She was walking her dog which was being attacked by 2 larger stray dogs. Her hand was also bitten. I stopped, bandaged her hand, and took her and her dog home. She was a bit shaken up and I felt sorry for her. I waited until she contacted family who were coming over to be with her.
These are the kinds of legends you get to deal with when you call Oceanside Services for a plumbers assistance.
Contact our team with any plumbing issue at your home or workplace on 1300 998 257.

This is a graph I made some time ago when I was trying (unsuccessfully) to retake the P1 fast lap record. It shows that the more you play, the faster you get and also more consistent!
Haha I remember this graph. Consistent shit man, I couldn't do P1 flap 75~odd times in a row. On the old MFO I had a similar thing for B2 flap... that's lost under time and dust now though.
Further proving why Tom stands on the shoulders of giants!
