Answer to "Why isn't my flash working?"There could be a few underlying issues. The most common issues are: (1) The flash capacitor may be dead and will need to be replaced (2) The flash unit/bulb may be faulty and may also need to be replaced. Use this link to find the replacement guides Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W830 Troubleshooting.
Answer to "I can't take any pictures"The capture button seems to be faulty. You need to follow the replacement guide to replace the Capture/Flash Control board. Refer to Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W830 Troubleshooting to replace the unit.
Answer to "1990 Ford ranger over heating temp gauge peaks and drops regularly"Is the engine actually overheating? If not, try replacing the temperature sensor. If the engine is overheating, try checking the coolant level. If it is low you have a leak somewhere. Add coolant if needed and service the cooling system.

Serious Car Accident Injuries
Involved in a motor vehicle accident and suffered serious car accident injuries? Contact our New York Injury Attorney today for a free consultation.
I have been asked many times, "What is the first thing you do if you are involved in a car accident?" The first and most important thing is your health. You must make sure that you are fine. You must make sure that you are not injured. Not all injuries are obvious like fractures. Some injuries are soft tissue injuries, and those injuries take a while to progress, cause pain, and become a major problem. I myself was in a car accident back in 1969. I thought I was fine; there was no damage to the car. Everything looked wonderful. I was so happy to get out of there and be done with everything, and then the next day I had neck pain, and for the next year and a half I wore a neck brace and went to therapy.
I did the wrong thing. I didn't think about my health. If there's an ambulance, get in it. If you're a little queasy, take care of yourself. It's better to over-take care of yourself than to under-take care of yourself and find out a day or two later, just like me, that you made a mistake.
Were you or a loved one involved in a wreck and have questions about serious car accident injuries? Contact a New York car accident attorney at Krause & Glassmith today for a free confidential consultation. Let our experience work for you.

Collard Greens with Bacon
Collard Greens with Bacon
4 strips thick-sliced bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Crushed red pepper, to taste
~1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 large bunch collard greens, stems removed, sliced into 2-inch-wide strips (can substitute kale)
1 cup chicken broth (or water)
Generous splash of dry white wine (you could use lemon juice)
1 Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the bacon in the skillet until it just begins to brown around the edges, stirring occasionally. Add the onions and cook until they have softened and are just starting to brown.
2. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, sugar and red pepper. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, about a minute. Add the vinegar, bring to a simmer, and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced by half, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
3 Add the collard greens and the chicken broth (or water) and white wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the temp to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens have wilted and have lost their brightness. (30-40 minutes) If you are really patient, wait til the vinegar begins to caramelize.

Lucy has been adding a new element to her wardrobe these days. If you ask, she'll proudly show you what color they are.
p{color:gray}. Photo: Big girl.
After our "potty-training blitz":/news/2008/potty-training-weekend/ last summer, Lucy made steady progress all summer, getting to the point where she was virtually accident-free while diaper-less indoors. After a few weeks of wrestling with the whole underpants hurdle, I decided to give it a rest and "go back to diapers":/news/2008/diapers-vs-undies/ for outings, or whenever Lucy requested one. Many things I had read discouraged this, saying that it would confuse the child, making them think they weren't actually ready for the potty. But I found that giving diapers as an option helped a lot. It put the decision in Lucy's hands, which I think made her feel respected and grown-up. And ultimately, she was the one who needed to decide to be potty-trained anyway, so I think it was more effective for her.
So, we invested in a wardrobe of winter dresses (making the no-underpants option more modest and warm when at home) and decided to wait and see when Lucy would feel motivated to try underpants again. Every once in awhile I would offer them, she would refuse, and I would back off. Frankly, I felt fine about our arrangement. My first hope for potty-training was to get away from poopy diapers, and Lucy has been a potty-pooper since late summer. (It continues to be very cute to see Lucy suddenly stop what she is doing, hitch up her dress, and run to the bathroom: "Mama! I "need to go poop":/news/2008/lucy-ate-them-all/!") Plus, with diapers on for outings, it was a relief not to worry about public toilets while we were at Target, especially when carrying an infant along, too!
Early in March, we were getting ready for a short outing, taking a walk in the stroller. Since we were going outside, that meant wearing a diaper for Lucy — but this time, she didn't want to. "Well," I said, "you can either wear a diaper or underpants — you decide." Lucy chose underpants, and I cringed a bit, wondering how hard it would be to clean pee off the double stroller in the event of an accident. But Lucy wore her underpants for about thirty minutes outside and kept them dry — a record for her! Since then, she has just gotten more and more comfortable with underpants for outings. We had one accident early on this month, but that's it. She has worn underpants for short outings outside, a long-ish trip to Trader Joe's, and even twice to church for the three-hour-plus trip. What a champ!
Lucy is very proud of her grown-up underpants, and I must say, the unders from "Hanna Andersson":http://www.hannaandersson.com/style.asp?from=SC%7C1%7C2%7C24%7C28%7C7%7C%7C&simg=32588_Y19 are very cute and look quite comfy. (Blue is Lucy's favorite color, so far.) I'm especially pleased since Lucy just got accepted to her "preschool":http://www.npcovenant.org/preschool.php of choice (starting in September), for which she needs to be potty-trained. We are still using jelly beans for rewards and diapers at sleep-times, but I'm not concerned about weaning off these things right now. Next steps: the art of self-wiping, and conquering that intimidating public toilet!

The price of success is the target you present. Mac-based malware (Yes it does exist!) finally landed a spot on WatchGuard's Top 10 list of the most common types of malware for Q3 2018. As stated in a DarkReading post, Mac users can no longer assume that the operating system offers more security than other operating systems. Corey Nachreiner, WatchGuard's CTO, said, "Mac users that haven't installed a security suite on the endpoint need to do so. The days where Mac users can go to airports, coffee shops, and use home networks without added protections like a firewall and IP reputation services are over."
The increased popularity of Mac computers has increased the visibility as a target. So what does this mean? Make sure you install security software on all your Apple products, not just Macs. Don't believe anyone that says Macs are more secure and don't need security software.

Federal resume writing
There is no particular set way of writing a federal resume. Each department of government requires their unique format. A simple definition of federal resume writing is it is the writing of a resume that has all the information needed to apply for a federal job. This may include one's personal information, work experience, education, training and job-related skills. In many instances, federal resume writing will require of one to write detailed information of one's work information, the hours worked, name and contact details of your former supervisor and previous salary earned. If you are an individual working in the federal government, then good federal resume writing is a must, especially if you hope to advance your career in the federal government. But do not worry if you do not possess good federal resume writing skills, because we are here for you, and are keen to help you write a federal resume that will secure for you the federal government job you desire.
Federal resume writing is very different from the way a resume for private industry is written, because a federal resume is traditionally longer, and contains certain specific compliance information, usually required by government presentation. Federal resume writing is not just about writing an outline of dates and jobs. It is carefully focused, lucidly organized, and properly written professionally presented career application package that can propel an individual up the career ladder. Federal resume writing entails the use of a reverse- chronological format, which means that the most recent positions held by the individual are listed first and the former positions listed in order as they occurred, to the very first position. A federal resume could be anything from two pages long to ten pages, and is strategically developed to include all the vital key words and important competencies that can propel one to the top of the qualification selection.
Our professional federal resume writers are waiting for you to contact us, so they can provide you with the much needed assistance in federal resume writing, that will help you get that top government job. Our writers have many years of experience in helping federal government workers rise through the ranks, that can be traced back to the 1980s SF-171 federal resume writing to the OF-612 federal resume writing that was created in the 1990s, and is still utilized to the present day. We also do many other versions of federal resume writing, especially those most popularly used in the present day, some of which include USAJOBS format, AVUE format, Army CPOL resumix, and Quickhire format. Our federal resume writing Assistance Company is made up of many writing experts, who can develop convincing senior executive service application packages, that will help those federal government workers seeking to rise to a working position at the highest levels of government. There are numerous formats that we could apply when writing your federal resume, but the format we utilize depends on the hiring agency, given that each hiring agency requires a particular format of federal resume writing. There is an enormous opportunity to apply for a federal job or even a promotion if you are already working for the federal government. Contact our federal resume writing company now and let us help you write that excellent resume.Order Federal resume

"Isn't your father a black man?" Mona often demands on her bad days, aggressively shoving an index finger into Bo's chest and confronting him as soon as he arrives.
"Shut up!" the son, boiling with humiliation for the 10,000th time, orders his mother.
But Bo is not flustered. "Well, ma'am," he says, "Daddy does have sort of a dark complexion. I guess maybe . . ."
"And doesn't he come from Russia?" The mother bites these words off with the challenging authority of a self-righteous prosecutor.
"Well, he's got that weird accent," Bo admits. "I guess it could be Russian." Which is, of course, nonsense. Like most of the people over forty in East Morton, Ohio, Bo's father is a native Kentuckian and sounds like it.
"Then he's Communist!" the mother barks. "Or Communist-inspired. Which is it?" Now she has backed Bo into a corner of the kitchen.
"Mom, shut UP!" the son shouts.
"I'm not sure, ma'am." Bo contritely shakes his head. "But I can ask him when I get home tonight--that is if he doesn't blister my buttocks for being tardy and letting my bean porridge get cold." Bo has never seen porridge in his life. "I could call home and ask him right now, but we're too poor to have a telephone." Also nonsense.
"This," Mona proclaims, setting a dish towel on fire at the kitchen stove and shaking the flames toward Bo, "is what happens to black Communists. You tell that to your Russian nigger father!" As the familiar stench--she's burned a thousand dish towels--fills the trailer, the son herds his friend quickly outside. He knows that Bo, a great mimic, will recreate today's scene for their mutual acquaintances later, either behind the son's back or right in front of him.
Because Mrs. Cox drives carefully now in anticipation of the rough road, the jolt when she hits the big pothole again is not so great as it was the first time. But the lovers are anticipating, too, teasing themselves with rigid restraint. Robin's dress is up to her waist. Her black birthday panties are pulled to one side, her legs as far apart as she can spread them. The son, agonizingly hard for her, feels one moment the torturously teasing kiss of her tender wet flesh against his; the next, he is a fraction of an inch inside her, then a fraction of an inch outside again. When the bump finally comes, slightly diminished though its impact is this time, the lovers know what is meant to be, and they restrain themselves no longer.
"Oooh, GOD!" they moan to each other again.
"Take it out?" the son asks.
"No! Yes! Oh, God!" Robin whispers frantically. "Half!"
The son obeys.
"No. Give it back," she orders. "Push."
"Does it hurt?"
"Out a little," she says. "No, in. You're fucking meee! Oh, it's meant to be! We have to get those things . . . it's all right . . . just, Oooh, my God! Did you . . . it's all right!"
It doesn't take much time for the son to finish. The pleasure of being completely surrounded by Robin is more than he can withstand for long. After a few strokes he explodes all over her glorious insides, but keeps thrusting as she directs him, until his erection is completely gone.
"Did you two find the Big Dipper yet?" Mrs. Cox wants to know.
"Dime," Bo said out of the corner of his mouth. The dealer slipped a bag out of his pocket and into Bo's, neither looking at the other. Then they passed the money by shaking hands--not like businessmen, but with elbows bent and forearms pressed vertically together, clasping each other's fingers in the style that signified their brotherhood, their politics, their hipness.
"That your old lady, man?" the dealer asked Bo, indicating Tonya with a nod of his head.
"I wish," Bo said. "My friend's."
"Foxy," he said, smiling at the couple watching from the street. "Peace, my brother and my beautiful sister." He flashed the two-fingered 'V' at them. "I see you already have love." They returned the sign and headed back to East Morton with their bag of "pot," which as usual turned out to be some nondescript weed completely devoid of THC. On the way home, the small-town heads smoked until they were sick, repeatedly asking each other, "Do you feel anything? Are you high?"
"I don't know. Are you?"
"I'm not sure, man. Maybe, a little."
"Let's smoke another one."
"What happened to peace?" Storm asks, looking up in bewilderment from where she sits involuntarily on the carpet.
"The only piece around here is the piece of ass you just gave your little soul mate on my goddamned couch!" the husband shouts. "Why didn't you just screw him on the waterbed? Huh? You know I hate like hell for a man to be uncomfortable while he's fucking my wife!"
The son gets up now and stands staring at Storm, who still sits on the floor, groggy, pushing hair from her face, while her husband glares maniacally back and forth from his wife to her guest. The son wants to rescue Storm from this situation, but doesn't know how.
"I'll be all right," Storm says quietly, giving the son permission to go. "Everything's cool."
"Cool, my ass! GET THE HELL OUT!"
As he drives away, Storm, still standing naked and shockingly perfect in the doorway, smiles and waves to him, completely unself-conscious. She really has tossed out all the bullshit, middle-class values that characterize Greased Morton, Ohio, the son reflects. He has been foolish to avoid her. How can a mystical affinity such as they share possibly be wrong? It elevates him. Though he will be physically present for his required six hours at school today, he will be transcendent. Upon students coming straight from cozy bedrooms in their parents' little homes, from breakfast tables in bright Beaver Cleaver kitchens where Mom serves up the pancakes and Dad doles out the lunch money, the son will look with contented disdain. He will be still warm from the motel-room bed of a gorgeous, long-haired, freaky, 22-year-old, married chick. Sex for him is no longer a quick weekend thrill in the backseat of Daddy's car. It is motel rendezvous and candlelit bubble baths and other things as yet unknown but soon to be revealed, he is sure. He has had a woman, not corn flakes, for breakfast--fucked her barely 30 minutes before the start of first-period Senior English--and will walk into the building today with Storm still on him. Of course he will not boast about it, but he hopes he bears some kind of invisible mark that will tell (everyone but Tonya) where he has spent the night. Already, he is addicted to the difference between himself and others.
"Does your mother let you go out with boys?" the son asks her.
"You mean like have dates? Nooo, buddy. I wish she would." Esther says, smiling again at Bo and perching, knock-kneed, on the middle lawn chair once more.
"You know, Esther," the son warns, "I forgot--that chair collapsed right underneath me the other day. I don't know if it's safe for you to sit there."
"You don't think Ah'm too fat, do you? Ah weigh 82."
"No, but I don't want you to get hurt and have to explain what happened to your mother," the son says. "Maybe you should sit on Bo's lap, just to be safe."
Esther breaks down giggling again, but through the hand covering her face she glances questioningly at Bo. "He probly don't want me to. Ah maht break his laig."
"I bet you're not that heavy," Bo says.
"Ah bet Ah am."
"Let's see."
Esther, still snickering behind her chip-nailed fingers, quickly and self-consciously transfers her terrycloth-ensheathed little butt to Bo's kneecap. Sitting bolt upright and staring straight ahead at the son, she says, "I never sat on a boy's lap before, except my cousin Hot Rod, when they was too many of us in my uncle's truck down in Kentucky one tahm."
"You're right," Bo says. "You weigh a ton!"
"Bole!" Esther squeals, trying to get up, but Bo grabs her by the waist and pulls her back onto his knee, which he then starts to bounce gently up and down, singing "Giddyup, horsey." With his fingers, he twirls the ends of Esther's bright hair. "I can't believe you're not a natural blonde," he says.
"Oh, Bole!" laughs Little Esther, riding.

(Thief Skill) [Delayed Command]
Use steal to steal gold or items from people. The chance of not getting caught depends on how well you have practiced steal, if the person is asleep, and the level of the victim compared to thief.
Due to misuse of the steal command, it is not possible to steal from players, and stealing from mobiles is very hard.
Note that if citizens of a town see you stealing you will become wanted for your crimes in that town. Please note also that spam stealing (repeatedly issuing the steal command against one victim) is ILLEGAL and will be punished.
steal gold drunkAbility to steal also makes you capable of guessing what others have in their pockets when you EXAMINE them. You'll need a good knowledge of this skill to see their whole inventory in one attempt.

Opening the building envelope
Develop and produce a standalone publication to raise the profile and reputation of the Tata brand and its building envelope products. Effectively communicate their entire product range, their benefits and the wider range of services Tata steel provide.
Thorough consultation and user testing with major building architects and contractors, led to the development of a high-end specification guide known as The Works. The demand for a comprehensive bible-like publication was clear, to provide specifiers of building envelope systems with the 'nut and bolt' detail of thousands of products along with every technical and material rating specification they needed.
Customer engagement and on-going consultation provided a focused and practical publication that heightened Tata Steel's profile within the building envelope sector.

Celtic Guardian is one of the most commonly used monsters of Yami Yugi's Deck. A running gag that happens throughout the series is when Yugi Summons him, he replaces the adjective "Obnoxious" with a different one. Another ongoing joke has the Guardian reference the adjective in some way upon being Summoned or prior to being destroyed. (e.g. "I'm so bamboozled.") He apparently has a grudge against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon for spreading to others that he is a "weak monster", and has developed a complex as a result of that. In a rap battle between Yugi and Jaden Yuki, it is revealed that his name is allegedly Dave, and that he had difficulty stringing together coherent rhymes.

In the present investigation this method was used to manufacture bio functional cur cumin nanofibers with applications in medical sciences. Parametric investigation of those nanofibers was determine the parameters that have significant effects on the manufacturing of uniform and ultrathin nanofibers. Polymeric solutions have been prepared by mixing curcumin with Gelatin in concentrated formic acid (HCOOH) for manufacture the curcuminnanofibers. Four critical parameters: distance, flow rate, voltage and viscosity have been taken into consideration to improve the characteristics of nanofibers.

What is CFD?
Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD, involves the numerical solution to the equations governing fluid flow
- The framework for CFD is either the Euler equations for inviscid flow or the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous flow
- CFD solutions often incorporate submodels to account for things like turbulence, chemical reactions, molecular transport, etc.

Recent reviews
Very Good 8.2 From 39 reviews
Clean,basic but nice place, there are regulations for use of pool but do not follow it, parking is reduced when it is full you can not leave if you do not remove the cars from the passage, lack of additional service like coffee maker, no air conditioner.
On the one hand, not a nice neighborhood, and most special requests (like for late check out or using a microwave for a moment) were answered with "no". On the other, clean, bright, spacious rooms, high water pressure and plenty of hot water, nice pool and outdoor area. Closest great coffee is Caracol Purpura (7 min walk), 15 minute walk to the downtown centre (good if you're obsessed with getting a lot of steps per day as I am), 10 min walk to best bakery in Mexico (Boulenc), 15 min walk to the Guelaguetza stadium if you're adventurous and like climbing stairs.
Stay and staff was great.
The hotel was very peaceful and the room was super clean. There aren't many amenities but the room rates are quite inexpensive. The furnishings offer old world Mexican charm but bed linens and towels could use an upgrade. The location is a short walk to the big cathedral which is another few blocks to the Zocalo. The pool area is nice, There's a pretty mural in the cantina area. The pool is not heated but probably very refreshing when it's super hot. The staff was friendly and helpful when I needed to call a taxi. They are very hands off once you check in. I'd say this is a good value hotel and seemed to have mostly nationals as guests.
The hotel and the pool were clean and cute, and the staff was nice. The cleaning staff actually did a great job every day... leave them a tip, they deserve it. The beds were comfortable. The restaurant was not open during our visit and it did not appear to have been for some time. It was just a covered patio next to the pool with some dining sets. There was a vending machine in the lobby which was unplugged at night and remained unplugged until a guest would attempt to use it in the morning. This meant that the beverages were warm until enough time had passed for the refrigeration to do its job. No ice machine. The location is fairly central. Its just a 10 minute walk from the Zocalo, there are street vendors all around for fruit, tacos, and shops to purchase beverages. Overall, it is clean, close to the landmarks and parks, but definitely not for those who want to walk out of their hotel right into a main tourist area or pretty coloniel architecture. You have to pay more to be closer to that. The hotel was primarily empty, which felt a little odd. Parking available on premise. The pool makes it worthwhile, bring your own snackes, beverages, a speaker and enjoy. Suggested for younger travelers on a budget, not for older guests or those who need more amenities then just the very basics.

Different ways of treating Lymphedema
Treating Lymphedema can be a challenge. However, there are a number of interventions that might help.
On the one hand, there are simple changes you can make such as incorporating light exercise into your daily routine. Then there are other options such as Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). CDT can be extremely effective but some people find it a little complicated to carry out.
Other options for reducing the symptoms of Lymphedema include the use of compression garments.
Each of these treatments can be used in different ways depending on your unique circumstances. And sometimes, a combination of treatments is necessary.
But here, we would like to touch upon the role that Manual Lymphatic Drainage can play in your recovery. And discuss how it can help with the condition.

Work On War-Footing To Control Spread Of Dengue- TN
With the ruling AIADMK facing flak over the spread of dengue in the state which has claimed 23 lives so far, the Tamil Nadu government today said it has undertaken work on "war-footing" to address the issue. Health Minister C Vijaya Baskar said that a sum of Rs 13.95 crore has been for towards mosquito eradication efforts.
"Work on war-footing has been undertaken by the government to control the spread of dengue. Nilavembu (Anti- Pyretic-- used to treat fever) juice is being provided across 1,500 medical centres and medical colleges," he said. Further, 2,000 kg of nilavembu powder prepared by the state-run Tamil Nadu Medical Plant Farms and Herbal Medicine Corporation Limited (TAMPCOL) was being used to prepare decoction and this was being provided to the public across all primary health centres, he said.
Further, following the directions of Chief Minister K Palaniswami, who has taken stock of the situation, dengue eradication programmes will be held every Thursday, he said. The minister urged people to visit their nearest government hospitals at the slightest hint of fever, saying 837 cell counter machines are being established in all the government hospitals for dengue tests. He also asked the public to ensure that their surroundings are clean. The government also called for "more cooperation" from the public in its efforts to control the spread of the fever, since "mass breeding of mosquitoes" happen mostly in domestic and semi-domestic areas.
In this calendar year, there have been nearly 75 fever- related deaths in the state, with 23 of them due to dengue, Health department officials said. Deaths from swine-flu and leptospirosis besides others comprise the rest of the deaths, they said. "The fact is that of the nearly 10,000 cases of fever, especially dengue, 9,900 people have survived and recovered," the officials said.
There was no need for people to panic, they said, adding, residents should mainly ensure that their surroundings are kept clean. "Dengue is caused by mass breeding of mosquitoes, mainly in fresh water sources, and therefore containers, drums or other storage devices holding water should remain closed," they said. The Tamil Nadu government has come under severe criticism following deaths due to dengue in cities including Chennai and Coimbatore, with the opposition targeting it over the spread of the fever.

Qualifications are what girls get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping who they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do.
Complementing our traditional, rigorous academic curriculum our personal challenge programme ensures our girls leave us with a strong academic portfolio of qualifications, highly developed interpersonal skills, self-confidence, self- motivation and a broad range of interests - The FSGBacc!
The Folkestone School for Girls has a long established and enviable reputation of delivering outstanding academic results. However, in response to the questions posed by Aristotle all those years ago, we believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both.
Students therefore do not complete an inordinate amount of qualifications as a matter of course. Instead, students at FSG complete what we believe to be a sensible number of qualifications. This allows students time to focus efforts on achieving the very best grades within these but also time to participate in co-curricular activities and interests – both at school and at home, and additionally, time to spend with friends and family. A justifiable balance between intellect and character.
The Folkestone School for Girls provides access to a wealth of additional opportunities within school. There are opportunities in to take part in a host of different sports clubs and competitions, to participate in our many Dance and Drama productions or indeed to sing or play in one of our many choirs, ensembles or musical evenings. Students in years 9, 10 and beyond can access the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme. We also have Debating Societies, Young Magistrates, CCF, Young Enterprise and many other clubs and activities throughout the year. This booklet contains full details of all that we offer. Click here to download the booklet
We believe this is in an incredibly important part of education. Being part of a club or organisation requires teamwork and commitment. It develops self-confidence and simply can allow us all to grow and flourish in other arenas. Employers too are looking for these attributes. A broad and strong portfolio of academic qualifications is important but equally so is the chance to demonstrate what else you have done and can do! What will you talk about at a job or university interview? What would be your talking point?
With that in mind, our school website also provides information (via the 'information' drop down menu) on many other clubs and activities available locally that might be of interest and girls may consider joining. Many are free. Some do have a small fee. All allow you the opportunity to do something you may not otherwise have the opportunity to do and to grow, develop and enjoy an interest away from school.

By George Cook
After Britain's decision to leave the European Union in 2016, some were feeling disheartened and concerned about the future of the country economically, socially and politically. Gina Miller has been a figurehead for those who embody such concerns, using her business experience to challenge what she sees as some of the biggest injustices of the 21st century.
Born in Guyana, she moved to Eastbourne with her brother leaving her parents at home. Whilst attending school, she worked in hotels and other businesses to provide for herself as her parents were unable to send money over. This clearly gave her the grounding from an early age to be successful in various aspects of her life whether in business or the charity sector.
Ms Miller took on the beast of government and won, which enforced a parliamentary vote on the triggering of Article 50 and she has launched numerous other challenges against those in power to help protect and solve big issues facing local communities.
This interview was a chance to talk about her views on Brexit, the process itself and her opinion on society in its current form.
Brexit is what Ms Miller's True and Fair Foundation, which was founded in 2009, is most renowned for especially after the high-profile legal case against the government. However, she also stated how 'the foundation is primarily aimed at community projects and charities who look to reverse some of the worse trends that are happening in society, and it's something where we proactively go and look for projects and fund them for three to five years.' Covering a wide range of issues, she said they 'vary from the environment, social justice to the lack of access to legal aid, child abuse, and there tends to be 10-15 issues we focus on each year'.
In 2015, Miller's foundation spent over £135,000 helping smaller charities tackle issues in their local area and she has a long history in public service championing philanthropic causes from an early age.
To discover what the big problems are, the foundation constantly focuses on what is happening within local communities. Ms Miller stated, 'I have thousands of GPs, people on the ground telling me what's actually happening at the coalface because we don't really hear about the really tough and dangerous stuff unless you go out and find out about it, and you have to rely on people in the community to tell you what's going on.' Gina Miller seemed extremely concerned that 'for a civilised, wealthy country we have got some real pockets of poverty here.'
The Windrush Scandal has been engulfing British politics for several weeks now. However, since this interview took place, Amber Rudd has resigned as Home Secretary and there has been increasing pressure on the Prime Minister, Theresa May. Ms Miller stated, 'we have been trying to get the Windrush Scandal in the press for four years, and we've known about this for a long time and been trying to get more and more attention. It's only because the Guardian were brave enough that we actually know about this.'
It is remarkable that the appalling treatment of migrants who helped rebuild this country after the war actually occurred in the first place. But it is even more worrying that those in power were trying to cover it up for so long, and without the work of Gina Miller and countless others it would probably still be clocked in secrecy under a veil of corruption.
The other issue she said her foundation have been trying to get into the public domain is 'that if you left Britain and retired to a Commonwealth country you had your pension frozen, and this has affected over 120,000 people.' Along with Windrush, this scandal has had a significant impact on Commonwealth citizens with many people's pensions remaining static. In an article in the Times, one lady's pension is £17 a week, when it should be £122. This has occurred for over 70 years, and cruelly forces many people to relocate back to the UK away from the lives and families they built abroad. Like Windrush, this is something that should never have happened and needs to be rectified immediately.
Ms Miller stated how she thinks 'all of these are a symptom, and if you look also at Universal Credit and what's going on there, of the entirely different culture within government which is in the name of saving money they've lost their humanity.'
Linked to this culture, she stated 'that the closer I've got to politics, I've realised how little people get thought about, it really is about the party and power, and how did we get to this place?' Miller seemed genuinely concerned about the current political system in the UK but did state how 'one of the unintended good consequences of Brexit is that there are now more discussions about our electoral system.' She added, 'politics has become a closed shop.'
Through Brexit, Ms Miller said she wants to focus on three big areas. 'One is on devolution and localism because we need to have more devolved policy and financial powers sitting in local governments. The second is that there is a conversation to be had about codifying some of our constitution, especially around human rights. The third thing is about fashioning a system that encourages a diverse breadth of people to get into politics because it's just too narrow, especially from an educational perspective.'
However, her first focus may prove difficult to achieve here in Wales because of Plaid Cymru's stance on Brexit. In response, she said 'I think you have to be really practical about all of this. If we end up leaving, Westminster doesn't have the capacity to deal with all the powers that are going to be repatriated back to Westminster, so as a necessity I think you'll see more powers being devolved.'
But would everyone want this? Ms Miller stated how 'young people seem to have a real moral compass on this and they want to see things in their own backyards.' She admitted that this is one of the biggest opportunities from Brexit and she did link how the EU Referendum campaign has resulted in more people becoming involved in politics. She added, 'we can't underestimate this, and it has made people really wake up.'
After the Referendum, some of those who were extremely saddened with the vote began to identify as being European more so than being British. However, Ms Miller was keen to distance herself from this trail of thought stating, 'British- I've always felt British first, and I've never thought of myself as being European.'
She carried on by moving the discussion towards whether the EU needs to be changed in its current formation stating, 'I do ultimately think the EU needs reforming and there does need to be reform.' Miller continued, 'But on balance, my decision for remaining was about security because I just think there is more protection in us being part of a bigger bloc in a world that is becoming more volatile.'
Summing up her reasons for voting remain she said, 'I would always come down on the side of remain because of the security rather than any sense of nationalism or economics.'
Recently, Ms Miller has advocated her support for the possibility of a people's vote on the final deal and when asked if this could make the situation never-ending she said, 'no I don't think so because the politicians have got themselves into a cul-de-sac.' She added, 'I don't think politicians should have given the people the vote in the first place in the Referendum, but if you allow people to start the journey, you're gonna have to let them finish it.'
In the event of a people's vote, she said all options need to be on the table and on the ballot paper in any future referendum, there needs to be the options of 'the deal, leave with no deal or remain.' Miller added, 'then whatever the decision is, you have to draw a line under it and say we've gotta get on with this.'
However, Brexiteers are critical of this approach and also of the House of Lords who in their eyes are trying to prevent Britain's withdrawal from the EU and disrespect the will of the people. Last week, Jacob Rees-Mogg stated how it's 'peers against the people, their Lordships are playing with fire.'
Miller responded stating, 'Rees-Mogg is possibly the most irresponsible person I can think of. The House of Lords is there as a scrutiny chamber and it's there to do exactly what it's doing it.' She continued, 'for him to be disrespecting the House of Lords makes you wonder how much he values our democracy because actually part of having two Houses is how the mother of Parliament actually got its place in the world.'
On the idea of the will of the people, Ms Miller said how 'the will of people is a social construct that was come up with by Brexiteers because democracy does not work with one vote, one time and that's it. Democracy is about reviewing where we are.' Rather chirpily she added, 'I would suggest to Mr Rees-Mogg that if Labour had won the last election then why did they have another election, they should have just let Labour stay in power forever.'
Moving forward in a society that is plagued by the problems Gina Miller's foundation are trying to fight is going to be no easy task, and nor is the process of Brexit. Whilst I do not agree with her on everything, I greatly admire how hard she has worked throughout her life to help those who are the most disadvantaged in society and to challenge the current political system.
And to create a better society, Miller, directing her words at young people, said: 'Politics is not something that happens somewhere else, it affects every single part of your life and you have to get involved in it. But if your view is different to someone else's, then have a debate and a civilised conversation.'

At least I hope so. I still can't shake off the negativity that something has gone wrong again, but I guess thats to be expected after last time.
I've had no signs that anything bad has happened, and I'm getting a bit of a bump going on so I am presuming it's good news. Less than a week till the scan though. And two more days of baggy tops at work!! I am looking fat in them, so I can't wait for Tuesday when I can wear a more fitted look and show off the bump to announce it!!
How far along: 13 Weeks.
Total Weight Gained: Not sure. Due to not actually owning scales I've not weighed myself for a week. I don't really want to either.
Maternity Clothes: Nope. Just baggy tops and bigger trousers for work although I am in maternity pyjamas for bed time and loving my maternity pillow!!
Stretch Marks: No new ones yet, just the old ones looking saggy faced
Sleep: It's not been too bad. I'm waking up around 2am for a toilet trip, and then at 6am which is more to do with Joel being up at 6am for the past week or so. Although today he slept in till 7.30am! Bliss!! I even got a cup of tea in bed today!
Best Moment of the Week: Having my Mum give us a homemade chicken and ham pie for tea yesterday so I didn't have to cook. If I cook, I can't eat the meal whereas if its provided I seem to be ok!
Movement: Not a bean yet. I could really do with feeling something soon, just for reassurance.
Gender: I don't know. I have no hunches or feelings at all. i'd love a girl but I'd love a boy as much. A boy would mean we didn't have to buy much. A girl would get a lot of hand me downs from her cousin. I just don't think I could be a team yellow person!
Belly Button: Still in!
Milestones: I seem to have made it past my first trimester so woo hoo. I just need the picture to prove it. Then I may allow myself to feel a bit more excited, as though I may actually have another baby come February!

Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?Communities in Haiti lack access to critical services, such as energy, water, agricultural support, banking solutions, and affordable quality foods. The current work of community organizations is isolated and is not reaching it's potential because it is not part of an ecosystem that leverages its assets. Solkomyo has created that ecosystem. We step in at the critical junction to provide community members with the tools to co-collaborate with one another and together create opportunities that benefit the environment.
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?Solkomyo puts the community needs and priorities at the center of the equation and equips the surrounding ecosystem to solve those needs. We look at the assets the communities have and the current organizations that exist to introduce creative, responsive tools to help them become self-sufficient. By identifying the crossover between groups, we leverage our tools and their assets to respond to community challenges. Through training and capacity building among farmers, youth, textile workers, female merchants, and community entrepreneurs, we support and grow their work to be financially autonomous and mutually beneficial. Our work is within and across community organizations to create social innovation teams that are equipped to respond to community challenges and apply practical solutions. They provide access to savings mechanisms, sustainable energy, healthcare, agriculture, water, and income-earning solutions as well as educational programs for youth that were nonexistent before.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your workA leading enterprise has been created that is owned and led by community members. Over 10,000 life-improving technologies have been purchased by workers and community members which directly impacted over 45,000 people and generated over US$1.2 million in direct economic impact. We work with farmers cooperatives who engage over 1000 farmers in improving crop productivity, solving irrigation challenges, and providing financing solutions to community members. We are supporting a goat-breeding project where over 70 community members are recent goat-owners. Over 300 youth are engaged in our youth empowerment activities and are addressing community needs including leadership building, sustainable agriculture, and environmental protection. We have started community savings banks with over 350 members who pulled over US$16,000 in savings and took over 1,700 loans used to invest back into the community. This ecosystem continues to create impact over the long term.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?Solkomyo has been able to start and continue its work thanks to the generous support of Levi Strauss Foundation, International Finance Corporation, Warby Parker, Columbia Sportswear and private donors who believe in SolKomYo's mission and work. We perform our activities on a very small budget because we leverage local resources and support. We have an annual budget of US$ 60,000, which includes costs for operating expenses and projects. Percent breakdown: 1. Grants 50% 2. Individual donations 25% 3. Corporate contributions 20% 4. Earned income 5%
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?Often, organizations in Haiti have a top-down approach that do not utilize the assets of the community. Solkomyo's contrasting element is that we leverage the existing network to address prioritized community needs. We build an ecosystem which is agile and responsive, using the strengths of the community to identify innovative, organic solutions to the community priorities. Together with locals, we continually adjust and make the initiatives as self-sufficient as possible to lift the community.
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.A Solkomyo community entrepreneur came to the Solkomyo leadership team to discuss a water pump that had been broken for over two years in a nearby community. Because of one broken pump, over 1,000 community members had very limited access to water. In order to repair the pump, it would cost $180 and no one person or family could afford this. The Solkomyo team innovated a simple and elegant financing mechanism where the team and the community pooled their funds together to finance the repair of the pump. 1,000 people and 400 students at a local school have access to water for the first time in two years. In addition, a local committee was created to pool funds together and continuously manage the pump. This creative approach puts the community at the center of the solution with full ownership and demonstrates how a simple nudge can empower community members to shape their own futures.
