It's been just over a week in, since the official launch of Ecodesign ready stoves. This is a positive move towards reducing unwanted emissions from the combustion of wood in domestic stoves fireboxes. As a company we are excited to be contributing to such a key development, in a more environmentally friendly way of heating.
What is the main technical point of the Ecodesign rules?
The key point of the Ecodesign rules is to significantly reduce unwanted emissions, such as unburned fuel like gaseous hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and microscopic particles of soot and dust, from the combustion of wood, while keeping a good level of thermal efficiency. It is these emissions, which are contributing towards poor air quality, and need to be addressed.
How Charlton & Jenrick became Ecodesign Ready.
At Charlton & Jenrick our very first Ecodesign compliant fireboxes were independently tested and certified in 2013. Since then we have created many more Ecodesign compliant stoves. The journey towards being Ecodesign ready did involve significant investment in costs and time, to ensure we reached the highest level of efficiency. In terms of the design process, we had to cover a range of things, such as:
Gasification – To achieve a thermal breakdown, the parts of a log need to be broken down into constituent parts, by thermally degrading it into gaseous and solid matter. A log does not just burn by itself. It is important to get the right burning conditions for optimum efficiency.
Secondary Air – Secondary air plays an important part in the burning off the gases produced by logs. In modern wood burning stoves, secondary air is used mainly as an airwash, to help clean the glass window of a stove. But in a high efficiency stove, secondary air has more than one use. Furthermore, a portion of secondary air also can also be used to act as primary air, by promoting the gassing off from the solid logs during the burn cycle.
Tertiary Air – The development of tertiary air efficiency is one of the key elements, which has increased the efficiency of stoves in recent years. Tertiary air is secondary air, which is being burned in a stove – the final burn if you will, to remove even more particulate emissions.
Mixing of fuel and air – A poor thermal efficiency can be caused by air that plays no part in the combustion process, and just cools the firebox and carries away heat into the flue. Mixing is a vital part of stove efficiency, which is often overlooked. However, a good mix of fuel and air is critical, an Ecodesign stove will place some of its efficiency success due to an optimal mix of fuel and air.
Baffling – Carefully designed baffles increase the efficiency of a stove. In days gone by stoves didn't have any baffling, which caused heat to almost instantly disappear up the chimney. Baffling allows a longer dwell time of the gases, within the burn chamber to complete the combustion process, which contributes to added efficiency.
In Conclusion:
The conditions inside a firebox are critical to the efficiency of a stove. The key to success with a high efficiency, ecodesign stove is to ensure all elements are working at maximum efficiency, and are also working in perfect harmony together. At Charlton & Jenrick you can be sure of our commitment to always be at the forefront of stove efficiency.

Advania Sweden School Partner in a new ground-breaking cooperation against bullying
Advania, has signed an exclusive collaboration agreement with GoSpeak UP International AB regarding an innovation designed to actively counter bullying and exclusion at school. The collaboration includes the Non-Violence Project Foundation (NVPF), with international experience of similar projects. The cooperation and method offer a whole new approach to bullying in Swedish schools.
"Our agreement with GoSpeak Up International AB, in which we act as an exclusive partner together with NVPF, for the Swedish market - gives us the opportunity to provide Swedish schools with a digital tool, that gives the student a stronger voice to counteract exclusion," says Stefan Henriksson, business area manager at Advania School Partner and promoter of the collaboration."
Advania School Partner, provides schools with digital education tools. This is the reason why Advania also takes a sustainable responsibility, to provide tools to counter bullying and exclusion, during school hours.
Advania Education Partner, has chosen to exclusively collaborate with GoSpeak UP International AB, which has developed the industry's most innovative tool for countering bullying. A method and tool tailored to suit the digital reality of our teachers and schoolchildren daily.
The method has been developed in collaboration with the Non-Violence Project Foundation (NVPF), which trained over 8 million students, teachers, athletes and volunteers, in conflict management, self-esteem and the non-violence philosophy. NVPF has won numerous awards for Best Practice.
"Speak UP! gives the young one's a strong voice. It's an important part of finding out what's really going on in school and online. Developing new tools with the students is crucial for creating commitment to these issues and only then, a real change can come true. I look forward to working with Advania, which has a strong organization and the widest network for the schools in Sweden. Our cooperation will contribute to increased security, which in turn creates the conditions for better school results, "said Tobias Wernius, Global Development Manager GoSpeak UP."
The security tool GoSpeak UP consists of three parts;
A Security App, Speak UP! with associated forums named, Stand UP! In this forum young people can share experiences and be inspired by good ideas. The app Speak UP! gives the school and its managers an overview of all incidents that occurs in and around their school. With that insight you can then use Learn UP! This is an educational library where the school can obtain relevant education programs that reflect the specific challenges that just their school faces.
All in all, students are given a voice and the school management are given a tool to identify, prevent and manage bullying and harassment in all its forms, as well as other unacceptable behaviours in school and online.
Advania wants to prevent bullying in Swedish schools and sees this from a sustainable perspective, by taking responsibility towards the younger generation.
"We have chosen to collaborate with Advania School Partner, because of their wide network, and competence around digital education in Swedish schools. This is to ensure that our message reaches as many Swedish schools as possible." Says Zena Fialdini, Non-Violence Project Sweden."

PRODUCTION of Smarties is to be moved to Germany from York, where the sweets have been made for 70 years.
The move comes after an announcement last year that 645 jobs would be axed at the Nestle Rowntree factory in the city.
The factory will continue to make Kit Kat, Yorkie, Aero and Polo mints.
Unions are angry at the decision by the company to switch production to Hamburg.
Manufacture of Black Magic chocolates has already been moved to the Czech Republic and Dairy Box is now made in Spain.
GMB union spokesman John Kirk said: "Smarties is part of York's heritage. Nestle took the profits year in, year out, but failed to invest adequately in plant and buildings."
A statement from Nestle, which bought Rowntree in 1988, said: "This is part of planned changes to the York factory announced last September, which include a £20m investment to safeguard long-term employment for more than 1,800 employees."
The York plant is the largest confectionery factory in the world and houses the company's international chocolate research and development centre.
Smarties were launched in 1937 and last year the company changed the traditional round tube to a hexagon shape.

Crop rotation requires that annual herbs and vegetables are re sown in different areas of the garden each year . Plants grouped according to their nutritional needs and susceptibility to certain pests, are planted together. This practice helps control pests, diseases and weeds whilst maintaining soil fertility and structure and boosting plant yield consistently over a number of years. Certain mold, fungi and insect larvae can winter over in soil so crop rotation is paramount to avoiding persistent problems in the organic garden which are often times host specific. Hornworm, for example, attacks solanaceous plants including eggplants, potatoes, peppers and tomatoes.
There are several schools of thought on crop rotation dependent on your choice of vegetables, the climate and space you have available to name but a few factors for your consideration. One possible scenario is to plant legumes the first year, brassicas the second, tomatoes the third, onions the fourth and other root vegetables in the fifth year. If you have a vegetable plot divided into three you may chose a 3 yearly plan versus a five yearly one, which is also one of the most common crop rotation. This crop rotation schedule was popular in medieval times and was borne of the Roman influence on Britain and Continental Europe. In plot one plant root vegetables, other vegetables and brassicas annually over the three year period. In plot two plant other vegetables, root vegetables and brassicas and in plot three plant brassicas, other vegetables and root vegetables over the three years. Root crops would include beetroot, parsnips, carrots and potatoes, other vegetables; eggplant, beans peppers, celery, cucumber, endive, lettuce, leek, marrow, onion, tomato, sweetcorn, peas and spinach and brassicas; swede, turnip, radish, kohl rhabi, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.
This system is based on some key principles. Brassicas are heavy feeders for example so planting legumes (peas and beans) in their place the following season is beneficial, as they enrich the soil with nitrogen and contribute to rapid leaf growth.
With regard to pest control, the practise of crop rotation is best used in combination with companion planting. Seasoned organic gardeners however will be privy to the persistent pest that can erode you faith in such techniques, no matter how tried and true. In this regard, understanding the insects habitat can uncover issues that needs personal and specific attention, even sometimes requiring bending of the rules to overcome the problem at hand. Nothing is ever set in concrete, least of all your garden. Happy gardening!
Beans, beetroot, cabbage, capsicums, carrots, celery, courgettes, cucumbers, egg plants, leeks, lettuce, marrows, melons, parsnips, potatoes, pumpkins, radish, silverbeet, squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, herbs.

It was, she says, crazy and sometimes overwhelming, but it was also the most wonderful wedding she could have asked for.
Have a lovely week!
Dear J
I think about the garden tour all the time and miss all the lovely things and the people too.
It was so much fun and I have great memories.
I wish I could do it again.
cheers, x
LOL Lancer for Lancelot ..I think it was for Lance ie a weapon of mass destruction or is this the way my mind works?. I remmeber ages ago reading about the Kennedy code names but cant remember Jackies.
When I was child I met a woman who had met Jackie "what was she like?" I asked breathlessly "Spoilt" was the answer. Jackie ws the one when I ws a child . I remember the kerfuffle when she married Onassis and the photos of her wedding frigthened looking children and all.
It's amazing I checked your blog today as I was on the verge /precipice /cliff etc of emailing you ..which I will do post haste .
My parents met her too and said she was a spoiled brat - I do believe she was, I've never understood why people laud her so.
Janelle, lovely to see a post from you, enthralling as always.
Her code name was Lace.
I think people laud her because she was brave after he died and because she maintained a sort of mysterious air. She was flawed, but like Diana, I find her interesting.
yes I agree I find her endlessly fascinatingDelete
Gardens truly are your first love, it seems. They keep sneaking their way back into every thought...I love that! Glad that you are busy, but I hope there is still time to enjoy it all along the journey.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your lovely comments. I've reconfigured my Comments Section, and apparently a number of people can no longer comment (esp if they're Anonymous), so I do apologise.
I obviously didn't know Jackie O and so I don't like to offer too much of an opinion on her, b/c I don't think it's courteous to judge someone you haven't met. (And even if you have met them, well there's too much harsh judging between people in the world anyway, esp between women!) What I HAVE heard from those who DID know her personally, is that she was a very strong woman. After Jack was assassinated, she was terrified "they were coming for her too", and was never more afraid than that night, when she was in the White House alone with her kids. Whatever else the public thinks of her, there has to be a measure of sympathy for that moment, after the world had witnessed her husband being shot in such a terrible way. That's why she wore the pink Chanel through the swearing in of the new president – "to show them [the killers] what they'd done". That, to me, speaks of a woman who's incredibly strong, and deserves some respect.
I do know a women on Martha's Vineyard who hosts Lee (Jackie's sister) for a week in summer each year. She says the two Bouvier sisters were raised in a certain way, and their childhood explains how they've lived their lives. I won't go into details here, but it made a lot of sense.
Lee, of course, is just as beautiful as Jackie, if not more so...

The site contains 181 samples of natural village speech, recorded by the authors of the site over the last quarter-century in 68 different Bulgarian villages. Each text is a well-formed chunk of discourse which not only illustrates salient features of the dialect but also conveys valuable information about traditional cultures.
These samples are presented as audio files, transcribed in both Latin and Cyrillic, and translated into English. Texts are annotated at three different levels, and the website is set up to allow searches of the data at all three levels.
Data entry is still ongoing but is sufficiently far along to make the site useful to scholars and others interested in dialectology and traditional culture. When data entry is complete the site will be augmented by prose descriptions of each individual dialect, prose commentaries on the individual texts, and an index of thematic content.

Microsoft is making easier for its users to set up a new Windows Machine. The recent addition of Cortana on Windows platform have proved to be a boon for Windows users and simplified their tasks.
Recently, the users can download Windows 10 Creators Update and set up their PC by firing voice commands to digital assistant called Cortana.
The new Microsoft Cortana is the voice-based digital assistant similar to Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa. Also, amazon Alexa is most commonly used in smart home devices like smart speakers.
All three companies are trying hard to acquire a large number of users attention by adding various alternative options to traditional input methods.
Here's how you can set up Windows 10 machine using the digital assistant:
The latest machines that support Windows 10 Creators Update have inbuilt Cortana support that tells users the basic steps to get started. The digital assistant will also help users to set up Wi-Fi networks, connect to it and sign in with Microsoft account.
How to Clean install Windows 10 Creators Update or setup a new PC with Cortana?
If you want to perform the clean install of your PC just restart the machine. Click on Windows key, go to settings, then click on Update and Security option. In that click on Recovery tab, present in "Reset this PC" section. In this section, you can remove your files or remove files and wipe drive option, which you can choose as per your need.
After that hit the reset button and you have successfully done the clean install of Windows 10. At this point, Cortana will pop-up. If Cortana is not able to listen to your commands that you can use keyboard and mouse for the setup process.
Whenever users want to use Cortana they can start by saying "Hey Cortana" followed by the command. It's good to see that Microsoft is making users task quite easier every day with the addition of new features.

Due to an illness…condition…problem…whatever (since resolved, but at the time disconcerting and downright terrifying, but okay now so we won't go into it and please, for the love of God, don't ask what the doctor said because that will open up a whole new can of worms I don't need crawling around just now so just know that I am healthy and normal now), I had to spend three days just sitting. I could read for short periods of time, but long term focus so close sent my head spinning.
The long and short of it was that the only thing to do was – gulp – watch television. A lot of television (and knit washcloths that I don't have to look at much while I knit, but that's neither here nor there).
Okay – Oprah. Explain Oprah to me, someone, please.
The show was about a woman who was addicted to hoarding and shopping. The advertising was for crap to buy for Christmas. The ads for upcoming Oprah shows were about Oprah's favorite crap to buy for Christmas. Meanwhile, on the show, they're talking about how Americans have too much crap and we've lost meaning in our lives. And Oprah is acting all bewildered about people who are addicted to shopping – the woman, who already has everything under the planet twice over and who required a Paris department store open after hours just for her, is amazed that other people are addicted to shopping?
Honestly, people – is it just me?
Then the car commercials: I was under the impression that a car was a means to get from point A to point B. Intermittent wipers are kind of a neat perk, but really it's a motor with wheels. Then why the ad like "When you get in your car and turn it on, does it return the favor?" How screwed up do you have to be to rely on your car for existential fulfillment?
And why are people so obsessed about the smell of their houses? I love to go into people's houses and smell what they had for dinner. Why is that a bad thing? It means you live in your house. I can't believe a company can make money spending millions on advertising for a candle.
Okay, okay, okay…I know I'm old and I know I'm not the most technologically savvy person on the planet. But someone please explain to me why a cell phone can't simply be a cell phone? Is there something about our surroundings so vile to hear that everyone has to be walking around with their own personal soundtrack?
(Oh, and don't suggest I get that Jitterbug thing – it looks like the Playskool version of a cell phone. I'm not that hopeless. Dirtman, maybe. But not me. And is anyone concerned that the "skool" part of "Playskool" is misspelled?)
And when did everyone suddenly develop digestive problems? For God's sake people: FIBRE!
And another thing: it's "jew-el-ry," NOT "JEW-LER-EE."
And why are "Titanic" and "Independence Day" on all the time? I was just wondering about that. I don't mind or anything. I'm just curious.
Thank God that little stint is over. I resolve to take better care of myself forever more so I don't have to go through three days watching FREAKING INSANITY!

Cobbler, crumble, crisp…
Are you familiar with at least one of these words sounded like a spell of good old fairy tales? In fact, it is the name of the American pie. They're all like brothers and sisters from the same family: something similar, yet different. They also have other relatives.
What unites these modern cooks pies favorite topic – Season. All of them more than half consist of seasonal fruit, berries and sometimes vegetables, ie ingredients that have real housewife with a small garden, a vegetable garden is always at hand. In addition, it is not quite pies in our understanding – test them a little bit, it does not play a dominant role and is often only the top, and do not particularly evenly. In short, a rolling pin and skills test for them will not be necessary. Accordingly, they do not look too presentable. The main thing – the taste.
When the first settlers arrived from England to the shores of America, they had to learn to improvise. Indeed, under the hand of any conventional apples from an old garden or dried fruits stock nor comfortable … all around the stove grew everything is strange and incomprehensible, and this somehow need to manage to make for dinner pudding. Well, never mind, everything that was used that was not there – grown. Folded in the shape, we distribute the dough on top of the remnants of oil, sugar and flour – that pie. The first colonists served them as a main course, dessert, they have acquired the status closer to the middle of the XIX century. Let us examine each individually.
Perhaps the most common outside the US pie. Fruits and berries are placed in a well-greased with butter and sprinkled the form of very crumbly dough. The oil need not to cake is not stuck – still no lower layer, one syrup. This is a very important ingredient in many ways responsible for the taste crumble. Crumb dough from a mixture of flour, sugar, butter and spices cooked very quickly, so that this important propech pie filling, especially of hard fruit.
Apple crisp with raisins
Of all the honorable company he least looks like a pie. In the stuffing of fresh fruit are some gnocchi (also known as "cobblestones") of soft dough with the addition of cream. Cobbler is always served warm or even hot. If in the US, it is only with fruits and berries, is at home in England, Cobbler preparing mainly meat. It could be beef or turkey, often with mushrooms, onions and herbs. However, in the modern sense of the British cobbler – it is still a dessert, few meat options keeps the oven. And in vain – it's awful tasty.
Vegetable cobbler with bacon and cheese
Very similar to crumble: yes fruit crisp batter on top. An important difference – in the crumbly dough always include oatmeal. In addition, the stuffing should also Crisp crunch (in English crisp), at least initially (apples, hard pears, quince). Most often Crisp served warm.
Crisp rhubarb, strawberries and hazelnuts
Filling in pandaudi always very juicy and even watery (often berries, but can be and apples). This is the only pie, which may require a rolling pin, because the dough is very similar to the classic chopped, still falls on the cake filling. However, it is possible to generate and hands. First, a little stuffing baked with sugar – to give juice. Then it is necessary to cover the dough and dopech until cooked dough, that is crispy on top of the cake. Finally, the cake should be carefully break right in the form to a crust soaked fruit juice, and serve until the brink of "crunchy-juicy" not yet fully passed.
Coconut pandaudi with cherries
This cake two test type: soft, which is poured into the mold, immersing it fruit pieces (that is, rising in the oven, "bulges" so that the fruits are recessed therein), and the dough-crumb above – it is often called in the Austrian style "shtreyzel." In shtreyzele quite a bit of flour and (or) of nuts, a little oil and lots of sugar.
For something to pick up the crumbs, crumbled with baked until brown shtreyzelya usually fighting children. The most popular filling for Buckle – blueberries, followed by apricots and peaches.
Buckle with apricots and ginger

i'm new here, but i'm not new for being an atheist.
i just want to know how you guys turn to be an atheist?to become an open minded thinkers...
Views: 744
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who simply never had religion in the first place...lol
I've been presented with both sides of the subject, and I naturally came to my atheistic conclusion.
I was at Sunday School (being about 10 years old at the time) When I had my question shut down. Basically "shut up and believe". Well, at least I shut up and listened. With in a month or three, I came to the conclusion, that whatever they were teaching was retarded. I yawned my way through 5 more years, before my Mother relented.
I had one Sunday at a Sunday school - the order of the day was the Prodigal Son story - I couldn't wrap my head around it at all. I asked my Mum where my friend who lived next door was, and she was apparently at a horse riding school. I was offered that as an alternative and literally jumped at the chance. Years later I had obtained my Instructors Certificate, as well as my Basic Vetinary certificate.
I did find something on the Prodigal Son story< also years later - one of those lists of "crazy things kids write on tests".
Q. Who was upset when the Prodigal Son came home?
A. The Fatted Calf.
I laughed and laughed and laughed...

Looking at our home page we can see that it is broken down into forum sections such as Motorhome Chat or UK Touring. Inside these forums sections are lot's of discussions, most people call these 'threads' That's all a forum is; an ordered collection of discussions.
So in the UK Touring Forums, there are thousands of discussions; all of them have an OP (opening poster) that is the thread-starter and consist of further individual posts made by members.

From Korça today, the Minister of Culture, Mirela Kumbaro announced a meeting to be held in consultation with those artists who oppose the law on Art and Culture and the relocation of the National Theater.
The request for confrontation with the minister was signed by about 70 artists, and was followedby a strong statement by the great actor, Robert Ndrenika. In response, the minister said she would speak to the actor, but defended the new draft law.
"I'll talk to him. I'm ready to meet them all to discuss the new law," stated Kumbaro.
Meanwhile, asked about the project of the New National Theater, which has also caused debates, the minister said that the current hall will be in operation until the day the project comes to be realized. In addition, the TURBINA center will also be operational.
"The National Theater Hall will remain open until the new project is inaugurated," added Minister Kumbaro.
Meanwhile, artists are considering the possibility of protests or suspension of shows if the problem is not resolved.

Yes, I believe latitude 44 deg, 23 minute is correct.
You get about a mile a minute, in lat long
(therefore, on p. 19, "count 2 3 now sMILE")
Free is the best deal!
"The Scarlet Cloud Approaches"
"Time is of ten a one-way street"
..........Go 5 X 5..........
I am also inclined to believe that the riddle does not give just one co-ordinate where the key is located, but rather many co-ordinates or "waypoints" which you must navigate to reach the location of the key. Possibly coressponding to the "points of interest" symbols. My count is 5 so far, is that agreed or am I missing one?
p.7 Neptune's ring
p. 11 center of page
p. 30 myths and legends book
p. 40 number square
p. 44 sieurru de mont's springs sign
I was hoping to discover a pattern by looking at each page that has the letters N, S, E and W on the appropriate borders; tracing an X from letter to letter, and seeing where the lines crossed. I didn't see a pattern (and many pages don't contain all four letters or they are located such that an X is not formed by connecting letters). On this page, however, the cross connecting the N in "signals," S in "speak," W in "wind" and E in "quest" seems to cross right at the key on Chief Abnaki's authentic buckskins. Coincidence?
My two cents regarding letters on the stones of the arch and keystone: I see the word "WESt" written backwards, perhaps connecting this page to p. 51, where the word "EAST" is written backward in seaweed. ("Kelp," I yelped?)
Going through some old notes. Here are some thoughts about this illustration:
Chief Abnaki's eyes are somewhat crossed, he is wearing a pendant with a cross inside a circle, and his legs are crossed. And the X formed by connecting the letters W, N, E and S in the margins has its conjunction at the key on his trousers. On the other leg of his pants characters seem to read "C 1 X [w/ two arrows or triangles]."
This could mean, "See one crossing (in both directions)." Or maybe it's, "See I crossing," and we are supposed to do something with his crossed eyes.
Of course, he's also sitting in front of a bridge, which is something that is crossed.
from the "Page 5" thread
as the "MY FOOT" is on p. 31, there is a much closer association on p. 32.
And look at the mis-direction. Abanuki is looking up, but his foot, with the red X, is at the bottom of the page.
DEN / NED, neato. (and the p. 31 "tail" and p. 5 tail pointing, not the nose "lies"), And also within the context of Harley Quinn speaking from within his DEN.
I say it periodically, but this puzzle has so much in it, it would be great to see a lot more activity here.
Free is the best deal!
"The Scarlet Cloud Approaches"
"Time is of ten a one-way street"
..........Go 5 X 5..........
And then...NED can also be a reference to page 16...I Meet a Pompous Fellow.
Hasn't it been mentioned as a reference to E.T. Stotesbury "Ned" from "Wingwood (121 EDEN St, Bar Harbor)
***Just went back a few pages and read from previous years...sorry about the duplication of "Ned"***
And then...don't know if this was discussed...but there is a short acrostic for "HAT" on page 33
Looking at the various pages...the one with a "Hat" pointing up is on page 23 (the fisherman) and he is pointing to NORTH or to certain color blocks???
Do lobster fisherman wear orange hats?? firemen?

'Get an instant lift with this bubble bar with our signature exotic orange and patchouli fragrance. Sweet orange oil is refreshing, tangy and uplifting, as is lemongrass oil. Lavandin is a close relative of lavender and has similarly relaxing properties. Pine oil adds a fresh, green note to the perfume and elemi oil, which is traditionally used in incense recipes, adds complexity and freshness.'
£3.25 each
With both the girls at school/nursery I thought I'd use that time wisely and use one of the bubble bars from my last LUSH haul.
So the karma bubble bar it was, I'd usually dunk the whole of this in as I love BUBBLES but as I'd promised the girls I'd let them use one of my bubble bars it's only fair to save them some.
I broke a little bit off not totally thinking it through camera in one hand, bubble bar in the other with a running bath resulted in getting a chunk in my hand and the other bit of that chunk all over the floor ahh...
I expected it to change the colour of my bath water a little more than it did but lets face it I'm not 5 I can deal with it!
As I mentioned before when I head into lush I don't go in knowing what bath products do what etc, If it smells good it will go in my basket and I read up on it after I've used it.
We all know what happened next don't we?
With Lavadin being an ingredient it goes without saying I crashed out on my bed and eventually woke up at 2:45 3O minutes before I was due to grab the girls, hair a wet mess where I fell asleep with a towel still on my head, a squabble to get my clothes together and get ready for the school pick up.
Will I be buying this again YES!
any lush product that has any hint of lavender in is guaranteed to knock me out good and proper.

I decided to make myself a mobile phone pouch as pictured above. I had certain ideas of how I wanted it to be. I wanted it so you slipped the phone into the pouch and then have a flap that came over to close it. I looked up lots of different tutorials and none were quite how I wanted it so I attempted my own design. It took me a while to actually get this done, not only because of my newbie sewing skills but also because of how I wanted it to look and I wasn't quite sure how to achieve this.
A lot of the pouches I have seen have visible stitching around the pouch and I ideally didn't want this. I also didn't want to sew the flap on separately as I have also seen in some tutorials. This may of been ok but I need it to be padded to protect my phone. You can see the finished design above, which basically turned out how I wanted well except for the minor flaws *ahem, cough, looks sheepish*
So here's how I did it. I hope it all makes sense you, by the end of this project I felt pretty confused myself so...
Materials used
- Outer fabric.
- Decorative trim.
- Lining fabric.
- Felt padding.
With any sewing project always think/read through things completely before you start and get everything prepared. Once you've done that you can get stuck in. One of these days I will actually do this myself!
First things, if you are using any decorative trims you need to sew these on to the outer fabric first.
Pin the trim where you want it and you can then sew it into place. I left the trim slightly longer then it needs to be as later on I will be stitching it into the rest of the fabric. Each time I did some stitching I did a few back stitches to secure each seam. Click on link for if you are unsure what I mean.
The next thing was to pin and stitch all the layers together.
Lay the layers on top of each other, outer layer on top, then the lining and then the felt. Place the outer fabric and the lining right sides together, for me it made no difference for me which way round the lining was facing as it was just plain cream.
I stitched all the way around the material but left a section open which would allow me to turn the fabric the right way out. Remember your seam allowance, I left about 1/4 inch for mine. If you don't leave a section open you won't be able to turn it the right way round. When I did the final stitching for my pouch this hole was stitched close. In a lot of sewing projects such as other types of pouches you would close the hole using a top stitch once you had turned it the right way round.
http://youtu.be/e4nrDMgOSq8?t=6m33s This link will start at the place in the tutorial where she does what I explained above.
When doing this part you would start sewing then stop, pull material out and reposition leaving a gap and then continue to sew where you need too. When you have sewn all the way round, you can cut the excess threads. You end up with a gap as shown below.
In the above image you can see I have already turned the material the right way round. What I did next was fold and pin the pouch into the correct position.
Here is a link to a video tutorial so you can see exactly what I mean. http://youtu.be/e4nrDMgOSq8?t=6m33s This link will start at the place in the tutorial where she does what I explained above.
So now all the fiddly bits our done all that's left to do is stitch the pouch together. It wasn't that easy to stitch this part as it ended up being quite a thick amount of material to stitch through but me and my little sewing machine managed it!
Now stitch down each edge, remember your seam allowance. I left about 1/4 inch for for seam. At the beginning and end of stitching do a few reverse stitches so
You then have your finished pouch!
Here's a couple of pictures with the phone

[Turtlewind] Dear Mr Doctor Who
Dear Mr Doctor Who
I enjoy your adventures tremendously, as you battle against evil in the Universe and in Surrey. I fight evil too, and you are my role model, along with Bananaman. Most of the evil I fight consists of the boys who throw stones in my village, but I want to buy a TARDIS so I can also fight evil in Bulgaria because they are never on the news and so I think they are up to something, possibly involving stuffing puppies with depleted uranium. My evil fighting name is Turtlewind. As names go, it is not as good as yours, but it is better than Bananaman.
I hope you are enjoying your time travelling, and that you will be on television again very soon. But don't bring K9 because he is rubbish.
If one of your Time Lord colleagues wants to sell his TARDIS, I can go as high as £173.
Happy times and places
Your friend
The Mysterious Mr Turtlewind, Esq

Vocalizing on the Winter Jewish Music Concert
by Dan Dickinson
Early in the proceedings at the Fifth Annual Winter Jewish Music Concert, I circled a couple of names who I wanted to highlight in this review, as a way of filtering out some of the performers. But as the night went on, I realized that strategy wasn't going to work. Alan Mason, the organizer of the concert, had managed to pack the two-hour show with 20 artists, almost all of them vocalists, and at least half were outstanding, with the remainder still good.
Mason's goal is to attract an audience simply by presenting Jewish music "performed at the highest level," and the packed sanctuary at Temple Israel of Greater Miami — which seats about 700 — testified that his strategy works.
The program included some eclectic touches, such as a magic show with belly dance, beat-boxed chants, and acoustic guitar folk songs, but by far the bulk of the artists were pure vocalists. Most of them are cantors at South Florida synagogues.
Mason explained that he lets the performers sing whatever they want, and the result serves as a sort of talent showcase of excellent singing.
The songs embraced a wide range of styles. Most were sung in Hebrew. There were contemporary settings of prayers such "B'rosh Hashana," "Yismechu," and "V'Shamru," and a jazz-inflected "V'ahavta." There was an art song from the Yiddish cabaret tradition by composer Moshe Milner. There was a Hebrew rendition of the "On My Own," an aria from Les Miserables ("Levadi"). There was Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. There was Bagels 'n Box, a witty mash-up of hip-hop beats with cantorial chants. Accompaniment on most songs was ably provided by Alan Mason on piano and Brian Potts on subtle percussion. The audience often joined in on the chorus, and under the sand-colored arches and carved-wood chandeliers of the sanctuary, the whole event offered an inviting, celebratory air.
For this reviewer, having spent very little time in synagogues and with zero understanding of Hebrew or Yiddish, a special pleasure was simply dissecting the different vocal styles. The range was considerable. The rough-edged vigor of baritone Erik Contzius was followed immediately by the clear, understated soprano of Shira Silverman Nafshi. The clean cantillation of Aviva Bass preceded the robust vibrato of Michelle Auslander Cohen. I had my own favorites, but the largest ovation (until the closing number) went to tenor David Aaron Katz's impassioned performance of "V'lirusholayim Ircho," by New York composer Abraham Ellstein.
A two-hour parade of talent runs the risk of getting exhausting, but with such high quality and well-organized staging, it never felt that way. Alejandra Czarny's moving performance of Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" that closed the concert brought all the onstage talent together to sing the chorus, and as the crowd rose to their feet and joined in the singing, I couldn't help but think that a follow up concert was in order with a bit more collaboration between the singers: a few vocal trios or small choirs, or even a small orchestra for accompaniment. I suspect that the logistics of organizing a concert like this are already complicated enough, but it's a good sign when you leave a concert with this many performers thinking of ways to expand it.

Winter Jewish Music Concert: Not solely a classical concert, this event organized by Alan Mason of Temple Israel of Greater
Miami will take place for the fifth time this Saturday night in the temple's Bertha Abbess Sanctuary.
It's an expansive evening of Jewish music and performers, running the gamut from classical to jazz and rap, Ladino and Israeli folk music, and includes works by a wide range of Jewish composers, many of them unfortunately little-known to non-Jewish audiences.
The concert is sold out again this year, according to concert organizers, but this year there are other opportunities for interested concertgoers other than being there in person. The 8 p.m. concert will be broadcast live on Jewish Life TV, which is carried on Comcast channel 239 in South Florida and Atlantic Broadband channel 167 in Miami Beach, as well as on DirectTV Channel 366.
It also will be streamed live via the station's website at www.jltv.tv. The concert's website at www.jewishconcert.orghas a video of brief highlights from last year's concert, and even in these short snippets there's a strong feeling of celebration and diversity of expression, as you can see here: www.jewishconcert.org/2012-video.
A Mother-Daughter Jaunt to Miami
January 9, 2013
Dear The Mums,
Remember when you went to the URJ Biennial in Orlando in 1999 and how, when you told one of your friends it was your first trip to Florida, she asked, "Are you sure you're really Jewish?!"
I was reminded of that exchange recently because Alan Mason, one of my friends, is, for the fifth time in as many years, directing what has become an incredibly popular and nationally known Jewish music concert in Miami. Alan's the program director of the Winter Jewish Music Concert, an annual event that began four years ago as a tribute to him on his 18th anniversary as the director of music at Temple Israel of Greater Miami.
Since then, it has grown exponentially in size and popularity. This year's Winter Jewish Music Concert will be held on Saturday, January 19 at 8 p.m. in the Bertha Abess Sanctuary at Temple Israel. That night, more than 25 singers (cantors, cantorial soloists and musicians) will, accompanied by Alan on the piano, come together from throughout South Florida and beyond to perform a lively mix of tap-your-foot, sing-along Jewish music, including liturgical, pop, jazz, folk, Israeli, Yiddish, Ladino, cantorial, beat box, magic and illusion, as well as other styles. A capacity crowd of more than 700 will, as in the past, pack the sanctuary, while countless others will watch the first-ever live broadcast of the concert on Jewish Life TV.
Although I've never made it to Miami for the concert (or for any other reason, in fact), I've seen video clips from previous concerts and I can tell you that you and I would love a pair of seats in the sanctuary.
In an ideal world, we'd take a mid-winter, leave-it-all-behind mother-daughter jaunt to Miami to fill those seats. Of course, this isn't an ideal world and the best I can do this year is tune in to Jewish Life TV next Saturday night to watch and listen virtually. I'm not sure what kind of electronics set-up you've got in your yeshivah shel mal'ah (or, come to think of it, if, given where you are, you even need video equipment to see and hear the concert!), but I hope you, too, will tune in—in whatever way works best—to hear the music and feel the enthusiasm. You will love it! If you need more information, there's lots of it here on the concert's website.
As always, I miss you lots and wish you were here. Enjoy the music, The Mums.
Talk soon…xoxo,
~ Boo!
A night of diverse Jewish music
By Sergio Carmona
Florida Jewish Journal, January 4, 2013
Cantors and soloists throughout South Florida synagogues collaborated for a concert to celebrate Alan Mason's 18 years as Temple Israel of Greater Miami's music director four years ago. This concert drew a capacity audience of more than 700 people and its success inspired Mason to make it an annual one.
This year's version of the Winter Jewish Music Concert takes place at 8 p.m. on Jan. 19 at Temple Israel's Bertha Abess Sanctuary, 137 N.E. 19 St. in Miami. The program will feature approximately 25 musical artists, including singers and Mason, the program's director, as the pianist accompanying them, who will perform Jewish-inspired music that's not limited to the synagogue. They will perform a diverse range of music such as Ladino, Israeli, folk, Yiddish, pop, classical, hazzanut, jazz, rap and tango and beat box.
The concert is becoming a nationally known one and for the first time this year, will broadcast live nationwide on Jewish Life TV.
"This [live national television broadcast] is going to increase the global visibility of the program and there is a kind of exciting adrenaline and nervous energy among the performers knowing that the viewing audience has just been increased tremendously," Mason said.
Mason added, "Our intent at this point is to continue to build the live audience, 700 plus people, who enjoy the evening sitting at the sanctuary and our goal at this point is to maintain that audience density and impress upon people that it's a very diverse program and a very fun, enjoyable evening."
Susan Shane Linder, a guitarist from Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca Raton who will perform at the concert for the fourth time, said the event is "an amazing and inspiring atmosphere."
Natalie Young of Ramat Shalom Congregation in Plantation, another concert veteran, added "It's incredible to get to perform with friends and colleagues and it's great to hear the wealth of Jewish music elsewhere."
First-time performer Aviva Bass, a cantorial soloist from Temple Beth Orr in Coral Springs, said, "I'm honored and excited to perform in one of the largest and most respected Jewish music concerts in the country."
The concert also features Israeli performer Dafna, who said it's a tremendous honor to perform at the concert. "The array of talented performers reflects the vibrancy and diversity of South Florida and its overall community," she added.
Members of the beat-box duo Bagels 'n Box, Jon Murstein and Jay Stone, both issued a joint email response regarding their excitement to being invited to perform in the concert. "We're very humbled to have been selected to share the stage with such an elite group of vocalists and musicians," they noted. "We're ecstatic for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of Jewish music."
Tickets are $18 for general admission. The event this year includes a pre-concert food reception from 6-8 p.m. catered by Gigi and admission for both the concert and reception is $36. Mason recommends purchasing tickets immediately and to get to your seat on time because the concert will start immediately at 8 p.m. due to the live television broadcast. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit http://www.jewishconcert.org or call 1-800-838-3006. The broadcast will also stream live at http://www.jltv.tv.
Annual concert gets better every year
By Sergio Carmona
Florida Jewish Journal
This year's version of the annual Winter Jewish Music Concert at Temple Israel of Greater Miami was the program's best in its four years of existence.
The concert, which recently took place and featured 27 musical artists, including local cantors and program director Alan Mason accompanying them, seems to get better every year. Mason's direction of this sensational spectacle was equaled by the chemistry he shared with the performers as he accompanied them while playing the piano. The singers all gave powerful performances while providing the highest level of music execution possible through a variety diverse range of music such as Ladino, Israeli, folk, Yiddish, pop, classical, hazzanut, jazz, rap and tango.
The concert's vibrant tone and upbeat atmosphere was set during the singers opening processional performance of "Ki va Moed." The audience was then treated to the performers putting forth their best efforts through renditions of Jewish-inspired music that provided a spiritual and lively presence in the room. Mason's piano playing flowed very well with the singers' performance. A highlight from the concert included Martin Bookspan, former host of the PBS series "Live from Liberty Center," serving as special guest host.
Highlights from the cantors' performances included Zachary Mondrow of Temple Torah of West Boynton Beach providing a powerful performance of "V'Lirusholayim Ircho," Lisa Segal of Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach giving a beautiful rendition of "I Sing I Pray," Geniene Miller of Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus in North Miami Beach singing "A Piece of the Sky," Michelle Auslander Cohen of Temple Beth Am in Margate and Temple Beth El of Boca Raton providing a nice rending of "Sim Shalom," Emily Arnoff Teck of Temple Beth El of Boca Raton rapping to "We Can Rise," Rachelle Nelson of Temple Beth Am in Pinecrest singing "Mirror to My Soul" that brought a spiritual presence to the room, Benjamin Matis of Shleter Rock Jewish Center in New Yrk providing "Hatei Elokai," Luis Cattan of Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus in North Miami Beach performing "Ilu Finu," and Cesar Beliniski of Temple Beth Torah-Tamarac Jewish Center singing "Amen" that proved to be a fitting closure to the solo performances. These are just a few of the brilliant performances that the singers gave. The concert ended in a joyful celebration of all the performers that should entice guests to return next year.
Those who missed this year's concert can always catch it next year. This annual concert is one that should be seen at least once and the music appeals to people of all backgrounds. The date for next year's concert is already set for Jan. 19, 2013 at 8 p.m. at Temple Israel of Greater Miami
Listen to the WLRN/Miami Herald report on the concert:

Kashmir: Over a dozen cases of drowning in July
No safety measures at water bodies frequented by people
Srinagar, July 25: More than a dozen people have drowned across Kashmir so far this month, mostly due to absence of safety gadgets at vulnerable spots.
In the latest mishap, which happened on Sunday, two siblings drowned in a reservoir at Harwan here.
Prior to it, over a dozen cases of drowning have been reported in July.
In most of these cases, the victims drowned with people helplessly watching at the banks.
The people blame the lack of equipment, such as life jackets or boats, at the vulnerable sites for the incidents.
"Last month, a man drowned while trying to save a dog at Tengpora here. He was in water for more than 16 minutes, waiting for help. But no one could rescue him," said Majid Ahmad, a student.
At Harwan also, where scores of boys go for swimming every day, there are no safety measures in places.
Disaster Management Department has now issued a list of instructions for the people who don't know swimming.
Interestingly its list of advices, the department has specially mentioned to venture into the water body where special arrangement and rescue cover is ensured.
However, at majority of the terminals including that of the river Jhelum and Dal Lake, no equipment are kept in place to rescue people susceptible to drown.
Director State Disaster Management, Aamir Ali, said it was not possible for them to guard every water body.
"Still, if you talk about Dal Lake, we have distributed life jackets to the boatmen to save tourists in any case of eventuality," he said.
Lok Sabha elections: EVM 'tampering' reports abuzz
Fomer Prez 'concerned'; ECI says all claims 'false, factually incorrect'
New Delhi, May 21: Two days before the results of Lok Sabha Election, several videos of EVMs being stored and moved from one unauthorised storage house to another surfaced on Twitter.
A number of videos have made rounds on social media since Monday night, allegedly showing EVMs being transported without any security.
While some machines are seen stored at local shops, others are seen stacked in the boot of private vehicles.
The most widely circulated video is said to be from Chandauli, in UP where a group of men can be seen unloading EVMs from a vehicle and stacking them up inside a shop.
Similar videos have surfaced from Ghazipur, Domariaganj, and Jhansi. Videos for suspicions transport of EVMs have also emerged from parts of Punjab and Bihar too.
In Jhansi, for instance, the officials claimed that the EVMS being transported were reserve machines. But they had no answer why the movement of EVM was not informed to candidates. And why reserve EVMs were transported in private vehicles a day after election?
Another video was shared by an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker, who alleged that the video was shot in Punjab and two EVMs and a VVPAT machine were found lying in a car. She even levelled allegations against BJP.
The situation took an interesting turn when former President Pranab Mukherjee expressed his concern at these allegations – described by him as tampering of voters' verdict – and said the "onus of ensuring institutional integrity" lies with the Election Commission.
"The safety and security of EVMs which are in the custody of the EC is the responsibility of the Commission," Pranab Mukherjee said in a statement.
"There can be no room for speculation that challenge the very basis of our democracy. People's mandate is sacrosanct and has to be above any iota of reasonable doubt," said the former president. "A firm believer in our institutions, it is my considered opinion that it is the 'workmen' who decide how the institutional 'tools' perform," he added.
Former Chief Election Commissioner Dr S.Y Qureshi too questioned the ECI's delay in responding to the allegations.
"Why is EC not clarifying what the facts are? Speed is extremely important," Qureshi tweeted.
Later, the Election Commission clarified that EVMs are "safe in sealed strong rooms under security, CCTV coverage, and surveillance of candidates."
It however failed to address how stand-by EVMs were transported in violation of the rules, which say that all polled and reserve EVMs should be guarded by armed police at all times and even reserve EVMs should be returned at the same time when the polled EVMs are returned at the receipt centre.
"Certain complaints of alleged movement of EVMs, purportedly to replace the polled EVMs in the strongrooms, have been doing the rounds in sections of media. Election Commission of India would like to emphatically and unambiguously clarify that all such reports and allegations are absolutely false, and factually incorrect. The visuals seen viral on media do not pertain to any EVMs used during the polls," the ECI said in a statement.
The allegations come at a time when a number of political parties including TMC, AAP, and others have raised concerns over EVM tampering.
Oppn demands verification of VVPAT slips
Press Trust of India
New Delhi, May 21: Leaders of as many as 22 opposition parties met the Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday and demanded verification of VVPAT slips of randomly-selected polling stations before the counting of the votes polled in the just-concluded Lok Sabha election begins on May 23.
They also demanded that if any discrepancy is found during VVPAT verification, 100 per cent counting of the paper slips of VVPATs of all polling stations of that particular Assembly segment should be done and compared with the electronic voting machine (EVM) results.
"We told the EC that the VVPAT machines should be counted first and if there is any discrepancy, then all of them in that segment should be counted," Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters here after meeting EC officials.
Azad's party colleague Abhishek Singhvi said despite requests to the EC since months, the poll body has now said it will meet on Wednesday to discuss the issue.
"We are asking the EC to respect the mandate of people. It cannot be manipulated," Telugu Desam Party's (TDP) N Chandrababu Naidu told reporters.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Satish Chandra Mishra alleged that "there is large-scale bungling relating to EVMs in Uttar Pradesh. We demand deployment of central forces".
The opposition parties also raised concerns over the transportation of EVMs ahead of counting of votes and urged the EC to probe the issue.
The opposition parties are seeking transparency and fairness in the counting of votes and respecting the mandate of the people of the country.
Chopper crash probe confirms 'friendly fire'
4 IAF personnel to be booked for 'crime'
New Delhi, May 21: A senior Indian Air Force (IAF) officer and three other personnel of the Srinagar Air Base could be booked for "culpable homicide not amounting to murder" in the 27 February crash of a Mi-17 helicopter that killed six IAF personnel and a civilian, media reports suggested on Tuesday.
The crash, which took place while the Indian forces were on hair-trigger alert in light of an incursion by Pakistan Air Force planes, has almost been confirmed as a result of friendly fire, the reports added.
The report about possible action against IAF personnel comes even as the Court of Inquiry (CoI) into the incident is still underway. The inquiry will shortly move to the next step, 'summary of evidence', which is akin to a charge sheet.
The inquiry is said to be looking into the role of the Terminal Weapons Director (TWD) of the airbase, who cleared the launch of the missile. The sources said the Chief Operations Officer (COO) was in charge at that point of time.
The probe seeks to find out whether the order was issued by the officer concerned on phone or if he was present in the control room.
"The IAF is very clear that whoever is guilty will face the music," a senior officer was quoted as saying. "They could be charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder but this has not been established yet," the officer said.
Meanwhile, according to the sources, the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) of the Srinagar Air Base, the most senior officer of the base, has been moved out as part of the probe into the crash.
The AOC, the sources added, was moved out immediately after the incident to ensure an impartial probe.
Reports said that at the time the chopper was hit by a missile fired by the Israeli-made Spyder air defence system, it had been in contact with air traffic control (ATC) as it was approaching the air base.
"The ATC was in touch with the helicopter and knew it was coming back. However, the weapon operators fired because they felt it was an unmanned aircraft coming their way," one of the sources said. "There was lack of coordination. These are some of the issues that the CoI is looking into."
It has been learnt that the IAF's Barnala-based Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS), which is tasked with monitoring incoming aircraft from Pakistan, had not designated the helicopter a 'Red', the classification for enemy aircraft.
The helicopter's Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF) — a transponder-based identification system — was switched off. However, sources said the system was switched off because it interferes with civilian aircraft transmissions, and because the aircraft could be identified by the enemy during battle.
Six IAF personnel, one civilian were killed as an Mi-17 chopper was shot down in Kashmir on 27 February while Indian and Pakistan air forces were locked in a dogfight 100 km away
India cuts off UN panel after JK report
New Delhi, May 21: Reacting angrily to a submission from the Geneva-based Human Rights Council (HRC) on the alleged violations in Jammu and Kashmir, India has informed the United Nations body that it will no longer entertain any communication with the HRC's Special Rapporteurs on its report.
The report from the UN body came at the same time a report from two NGOs in the State on the alleged cases of torture was released in Srinagar, which was endorsed by a former UN Special Rapporteur.
The current Special Rapporteurs on Extrajudicial Executions, Torture, and Right to Health — Agnes Callamard, Dainius Puras and Nils Melzer — had referred to a June 2018 report of the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR) and written to the government in March 2019, asking about steps taken by New Delhi to address the alleged human rights violations listed in the report.
In addition, the Special Rapporteurs had listed "13 cases of concern" from 2018 alone, in which "four children were among eight civilians killed by members of the security forces."
Rejecting all the claims, the Indian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva replied to the OHCHR on April 23, saying that "India… does not intend to engage further with these mandate-holders or any other mandate-holders on the issue," whom it accused of "individual prejudice".
India had also rejected the OHCHR's report on the 'Situation of Human Rights in Kashmir' — the first-ever such report on Jammu and Kashmir that came out in June 2018 — and accused the High Commissioner of Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein of "clear bias" in bringing it out.
When asked, the Ministry of External Affairs clarified that India's stand on not engaging with the Special Rapporteurs was only for those wishing to refer to the OHCHR report.
However, UN officials say that India is already in contravention of several Conventions it has committed to, including a "Standing Invitation" signed in 2011 to all special rapporteurs to visit India. According to the UN records, more than 20 such visit requests, including to Jammu and Kashmir, are pending at present. UN sources also said that between 2016-2018, the OHCHR Special Rapporteurs had sent as many as 58 communications, and had received no response other than the April 23 letter on Jammu and Kashmir.
"The only response so far has been to the communication relating to Jammu and Kashmir….The last visit was by the Special Rapporteur on water and sanitation, in October-November 2017," a UN communications official said in reply to queries from The Hindu.
The UN submission on Jammu and Kashmir coincided with the release of an extensive 560-page report on Monday, prepared by the J&K based Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) and the J&K Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS). The report, entitled 'Torture: Indian State's Instrument of Control in J&K', documented 432 cases of suspected human rights violations and brutality by security forces of which only 27 had been investigated by the State Human Rights Commission.

It's been a year that we have been living with GST. Happy Anniversary! NOT! Although some may say that it's ONLY 6% that we are paying for our GST and that some other countries pay more, it is still an additional 6% that we have to pay.
I don't think I bought that much over the past year although I do see new shoes, clothes and bags in my room. But somehow, when the 6% is already factored in into the price that we have to pay, we tend to forget that it's more than the actual cost.
But life goes on. We buy what we have to and forgo what we can no longer afford. Since the GST is here to stay, let us just hope that it wouldn't go up any time soon! We are still trying to cope with the 6% dammit!

Fire Fighter Applicant Fitness Assessment Protocol
Regina Fire & Protective Services uses the York University Fire Fighter Applicant Fitness Assessment Protocol to assess candidates. The fitness assessments are administered by Dr. Paul Schwann Centre staff at the University of Regina. Applicants are required to complete a series of tests including aerobic fitness, vision, colour blindness (Ishihara and Farnsworth testing conducted), hearing, lung function, swimming and 8 validated job-related performance tests.
Aerobic fitness is measured directly using expired air analysis while running on a treadmill. The speed and incline are gradually increased until the candidate reaches maximum intensity. This test is designed to measure endurance or "work capacity". Participation in moderate to high intensity aerobic workouts (30 - 45 minutes per workout, 4 - 5 times per week) including activities such as jogging, cycling, swimming and rowing, can help you prepare for the aerobic fitness assessment.
During the swimming test applicants are required to swim 8 lengths (approx. 200 meters) using any stroke.
The 8 job-related performance tests are designed to simulate the physical demands of a firefighter's job which requires muscular strength, coordination and endurance. To prepare for these tests, you may wish to participate in supervised weight training, stretching and an aerobic exercise program to increase strength, improve flexibility and enhance aerobic fitness and capacity. The performance tests are:
- Ladder Climb (Acrophobia)
- Search Enclosed Area (Claustrophobia)
- Hose/Climb Carry
- Rope Pull
- Hose Advance/Drag
- Ladder Lift
- Victim Drag
- Forced Entry
Consult your physician and/or a qualified fitness instructor before starting any exercise program.
Step 3: Interview & Reference Checks
Candidates who are successful in the testing phase will be interviewed and reference checks will be completed.

It might not be high on the list of affairs to get in order when the time comes but eventually many people have to deal with the question of what to with a loved one's digital identity after they pass. Much of what we do online may seem trivial in the big picture but, for many of us, there are deeply meaningful messages, photos, and connections that only live there. The value of online life after death has even been the subject of court cases, waged over ownership of and access to accounts of the deceased. Recognizing this value, some sites have put measures in place to give account holders the power to say what happens to their accounts after they die.
For a while now Facebook has allowed people to choose whether they want their account permanently deleted or "memorialized" after they die. A memorialized account is one where friends can continue to post to the account's Timeline and photos, posts, and other shared items remain viewable. Facebook does it's best to make sure memorialized accounts don't pop up in inappropriate or potentially upsetting places, like People You May Know or birthday reminders. While alive, people can also assign a legacy contact to their account. This is a person who has some added control over a memorialized account, which allows them to create a pinned post for the profile, respond to friend requests, and update the profile picture and cover photo.
If you are concerned about more private pieces of your account (like photos you uploaded but never posted or personal messages) or the possibility that your legacy contact would change your posts after you've past, know that Facebook doesn't permit this level of access in any of it's posthumous options. Other common sites of digital life, like Twitter and Gmail, also tend to favor the privacy of the deceased. Families can request deactivation of accounts and can sometimes gain access to photos, emails, and documents but, if the original owner didn't make clear their wishes on the matter, these actions can be complicated and, ultimately, requests for access might be denied.

Last week, I was invited to visit London by not-for-profit promotional group, London & Partners.
London & Partners, which is funded by the city's mayor, showed off its budding tech culture to reporters and snagged a dinner reservation at one of England's hottest new restaurants, Duck & Waffle.
Duck & Waffle opened last summer. Located 40 floors up in the Heron Tower, it's the tallest restaurant in London. Directly below it is a sister restaurant, Sushisamba.
While Sushisamba has multiple locations, including three in New York City, there's only one Duck & Waffle. The restaurant serves a take on British and European food, and although it's often filled with celebrities and socialites, it's affordable. Main courses range from £16-£35 ($24-$54).
We ate a 14-course meal paired with cocktails and at least four different wines (four appetizers, two raw starters, five small plates, one main dish and two desserts). It took four hours, but it was an amazing experience.
Disclosure: London & Partners paid for my trip to London to explore England's startup scene and Tech City. L&P paid for the entire 14-course meal.

was an early Martha Stewart fan. Pre-orange jumpsuit Martha. If you asked my college roommates, they would tell you I worshiped her. I memorized every page of Martha Stewart Living. I saved every issue. I bought her fabulous Weddings editions, even when I didn't have a wedding to plan. I forced my friends to try just about every crafty idea published each month. I made everything from wreaths to cookies. When Martha went to prison, my girlfriends sent me sympathy cards, and I knitted a version of the poncho she created while incarcerated.
I mentioned before that I come from a crafty family. Knitting is my thing. I think it's in my genes as my grandmother could create anything and one of my aunts is a master knitter (yes, there is such a thing). For as long as I have been knitting, I've wanted to make a greyhound. There are plenty of crochet patterns for life-sized and toy greyhounds. I've even bid on a finished one at an auction. However, I really wanted to find a pattern to knit one of my own.
I Hate Toast sent me a pattern for a knitted mini-greyhound and totally renewed my knitting mo-jo. I created this little bugger from the HotDiggerdy Dog pattern in just three nights of knitting and one long evening of seaming. It was the perfect compliment to my Winter Olympics viewing.
The funny thing is, while I was knitting the girls could have cared less about the knitted mini-me creation. But once he was all stuffed and seamed together, I had to watch them like a hawk or else this little guy would have been shaken and disassembled in about one minute. My girls are very careful with their toys. Only a couple in their stash lack squeakers (all due to visiting dogs), and they have never disemboweled a stuffy. But for some reason, this little guy has their number, and I've caught Roxy and Seka prancing around with him in their mouths getting ready to move in for the kill.
I need a name for him, and I think I will take junior with me on vacation to remind me of my girls. It's a good thing.
P.S. Seka has demanded a black version so that she will be represented as well.

At Villa Visions, we provide many options when it comes to Barn Doors for your home.
Whether you want to add some rustic charm to the interior of your home, or you plan to embellish the look of your garage or outdoor space, using barn doors is a unique way to dress up a space and say that you are a fun and creative bunch. You can use barn doors as a divider for a large room, to separate the bathroom for privacy, or as a stylish way to enter the master bedroom.
Dress up the family room or the library with a rustic door design
Reclaimed barn doors are perfect for this purpose. They add charm and sophistication to the room welcoming everyone into the space and making it as inviting as possible. You can use black iron hinges and door handles to provide a deep contrast that gives guests something to talk about when entering the space. You could even tie the room into the design by adding old lanterns or repurposed wood tables in the room that the doors are covering.
Modern and sleek
For a more clean look, you can paint the door hinges, handles, and the door itself to a crisp, white finish. You can use colors like green or reds to accent the barn doors to tie it into the design of the room. Crown molding increases the character, or you can use black iron accents to invoke a sense of Victorian style.
Cover an open space
If you have a closet, an open bathroom doorway, open shelving unit, entertainment center, or barbecue area that you would like to hide when you are not using it, then covering it up with a painted barn door is a huge help. You can use the piece as an accent wall and paint it a bold color. No color is off limits.
For more information about how barn doors can add style to your home, give Villa Visions a call at 201-933-4050. Our expert home renovation planner can provide you with all kinds of ideas to consider. We can help you build value in your home, change the style, or embellish a design you already have in place.

of certain minerals such as magnetite (so named because it was discovered
in the Greek region called Magnesia) to attract pieces of iron. They are natural
magnets.It appears that it was the Chinese who first used magnets as compasses in the
twelfth century.Petrus Peregrinus (Pierre de Maricourt), a French crusader, in 1269 found that if
a needle is left freely on a spherical magnet, it is oriented along lines passing
through points located at opposite ends of the field. By analogy, states north and
south poles of the magnet, and found that the north pole andsouth pole attract, like poles repel it, and that the fragment a piece of magnetite,
magnetic poles are still appearing.Magnetite crystalsIn the s. XVI, William Gilbert (physician to Queen Elizabeth), artificial magnets
produced by rubbing pieces of iron and magnetite. He also suggested that the
operation of the compass was due to the magnetic properties of the Earth.There are some creatures that have magnets inside that work like compasses.
It is called magnetism. It seems that this phenomenon is the ability to orient migrating birds.Some bacteria naturally synthesize grains of magnetite (iron oxide, Fe3O4 formula)
with a single domain, which are aligned and give rise to microscopic compass,
allowing them to navigate.Found magnetite crystals inside the skull of the pigeon, connected to many nerves.
As a result, the pigeons know longitudinally oriented magnetic field, ie north-south
and east-west, as well as the latitude, ie according to the inclination of the field. Also
magnetic substances have been found in other organisms such as bees, monarch
butterflies, moles, turtles and even in human brain tissue.One of the many applications of magnetic fields are the magnetic stripes on credit
cards, phone ... They keep the information through the tiny magnetic domains. The
reader consists of a small coil which induces an electric current to the passage of
the card. So often damaged the card when it comes to intense magnetic fields.In ancient times the magnetite attributed many properties. Was supposed to cure
rheumatism and gout and allowed to speak with the gods. In the sixteenth century
Paracelsus tried to use magnetism to cure diseases, but accomplished nothing.
All its supposed successes were due to placebo effect. Even today we are also
trying to sell magnetic bracelets and other devices as a remedy for many ailments,
but there is no scientific evidence of its benefits

Buddy's Adventures
{{#evt: service=dailymotion |id=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x48rkp_buddy-s-adventures_shortfilms |dimensions=250x200 |description=Buddy's Adventures (full length) }}
Buddy's Adventures is an American Looney Tunes animated cartoon directed by Ben Hardaway, featuring the characters Buddy and his flapper girlfriend Cookie. The 7-minute-film was released on 17 November 1934.
Buddy and Cookie travel in a hot air balloon. They get into a thunderstorm and end up in Sourtown, Lemonia, a place where laughing, singing, dancing, and jazz music is strictly forbidden by law. The citizens in this strange place keep themselves in a sour mood by drinking lemon juice and vinegar in great amounts.
The spanking machine[edit]
The king of Sourtown declares Buddy and Cookie guilty of having fun. He sentences them to be punished on a spanking machine. The machine is semi-automatic: a turned crank sets a mechanic hand in spanking motion, and has the words "YE OLDE SPANKING MACHINE" written on it (visible at 05:08).
The two youngsters escape their imminent punishment by plaxing music on the harmonica, making everyone sway with the tune. Even the monarch joins in. As the king laughs and dances, he accidentally falls into the spanking machine. The machine immediately restrains him around his torso and one of his men begins to turn the crank. The king is thus spanked while he continues laughing (machine/M).

"The fruit of the Spirit is . . . patience" (Gal 5:22)
The patience that St Paul refers to here is more like forbearance.
In relation to God, it's the way that God never tires of us, always has patience, and tries to draw us to conversion.
For us, this kind of patience helps us to control our anger, especially in situations when it threatens to overwhelm us. Just about all of us, at one time or another, have gotten angry to the point it was hard to control our thoughts and words. When that happens we usually say something we later regret.
Patience helps us to control ourselves at those moments. It helps us to see things from another's point of view. If we can do that, even if we don't agree with the person, we can at least understand where he or she may be coming from.
The New Testament has two words for patience. One is hupomonē, which refers more to bearing a burden patiently. It's more like long-suffering, holding up under trials. But here in Galatians Paul uses the word makrothumia. It's a compound word and the two parts give us the meaning: makros or "long" and thumia or "passion" or "temper." So it has more of the sense of being long-tempered, able to take a lot of stress without losing one's temper. If we can practice this, we can become more like God who is so patient with us. That's why it's a fruit of the Spirit, since it depends more on grace than our own efforts.
How can I be more patient today in the events of my life and with the people I am with?
This prayer is directed to St. Paul:
For Patience
Glorious Saint Paul, from a persecutor of Christianity you became an ardent apostle and evangelizer. Throughout your life you even suffered imprisonment, scourging, stoning, and shipwreck; you endured persecutions of every kind for the sake of the Gospel. Your sole desire was to make the Savior Jesus Christ known to the farthest bounds of the world, and to that end you shed your blood to the last drop.
Obtain for me the grace to accept the hardships of ill health and the daily struggles of this present life as opportunities to grow in love for Jesus Christ and share in his sufferings. May the unexpected difficulties that come my way help me to be a more patient, compassionate, and loving person who seeks to assist others in their needs. And, amid the pressures and demands of everyday life, grant me enduring strength to be a faithful and fervent follower of Jesus Christ. Amen.Blessed James Alberione
"Have patience with all things but first with yourself." --St Francis de Sales
Below is another version of the Taize chant of the Veni Sancte Spiritus.
