Air Charter Service was called into action last week when the company was asked to fly more than 17 tonnes of ham to a Caribbean Island that had run out of the popular meat.
Richard Thompson, President of ACS's North American operation, comments: "Someone in Puerto Rico had forgotten to put in their normal order for a large amount of ham and there was a danger that the island would run out. With the cargo being perishable, the ham had to fly as soon as possible, so our client chartered an entire aircraft – a Boeing 727 – to transport the 38,000 lbs of the meat.
"'Go now' flights occur more often than one would think. Between parts that are needed in an assembly line or urgent medical supplies, we receive requests to deliver time critical solutions on a daily basis.
"However a plane load of ham is a new one on me. But I am glad to report our operation was fast and effective, leaving San Juan full."

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by marriage psychologist John M. Gottman at the University of Washington
This book is a must-read. According to Gottman, to make marriage function optimally, you should:
(1) Enhance your love maps: knowing all the important information about your partner's life including his/her internal experiences, best friends, ways of coping, and goals;
(2) Nurture fondness and admiration: appreciating the good characteristics of your partner;
(3) Turn toward each other instead of away: responding favorably and do not use avoidant communication styles such as cold-war;
(4) Let your partner influence you: accepting change and taking your partner's opinions into account;
(5) Solve solvable problems: making efforts and compromises to solve conflicts such as work-family conflicts;
(6) Overcome gridlock: willingness to open dialogues and explore deep feelings surrounding tough conflicts such as those involving the in-laws;
(7) Create shared meaning: pursuing a meaningful life with your partner together.
There are several tests in this book to check your marital quality and help you figure out in what way you can improve it. Give it a read.

The North Coast appellation encompasses some of the coolest vineyards in the state. Here, the characteristic foggy mornings, mild afternoons, and chilly evenings contribute to bright fruit and crisp acidity - traits that are distinctive and delicious in California Chardonnay. The La Follette 2014 North Coast Chardonnay is a blend of fruit from two organic vineyards in Mendocino County and one Old-Vine Chardonnay vineyard in the Sonoma Coast.
The Old-Vine Chardonnay ripens slowly, adding gravitas and volume to the overall blend. An inviting bouquet of vanilla bean, biscuit and lemon zest notes come together on the nose, while the creamy palate offers elegant yet energetic flavors that are balanced with fresh minerality and acidity. This is a fresh, harmonious blend that is distinctively coastal in style.

Efforts to implement the Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions are underway!
The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions came into force on March 18, 2007. At the first session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention in June 2007, the Intergovernmental Committee was given a mandate to develop the necessary operational guidelines for implementing the Convention. Since then, six ordinary and two extraordinary sessions have been held, for a total of eight.
The fourth session of the Conference of Parties, which took place in Paris, June 11 to 13, 2013, saw the approval of operational guidelines governing the use of the emblem of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions as well as the revised guidelines on using the resources of the International Fund for Cultural Diversity. In total, twelve articles of the Convention now incorporate operational guidelines.
At press time, 134 Parties (133 states and the European Union as a regional economic integration organization) had ratified the treaty.
Efforts to implement the treaty are well underway, but the mobilization campaign to encourage Member States who haven't already done so to ratify the treaty must continue with commitment and conviction. The Convention's legitimacy will be directly proportional to the number of countries from all parts of the world that ratify, accept, approve, or join the treaty.
The Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions has published the decisions from the seventh ordinary session. Among other agenda items, the Committee rendered a decision on the implementation of the International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD), the impact of Article 21, and the impact of digital technologies on the Convention.
In addition, the Intergovernmental Committee invited the Parties, international organizations, and other members of civil society to use the Web platform to inform the Secretariat of the impacts and implementation of Article 21 of the 2005 Convention.
During the session, the Committee also examined the quadrennial periodic reports of the Parties received in 2013. A total of 65 periodic reports were submitted in 2012 and 2013, including 25 new reports that are now available online. The Committee also encouraged the Parties that had not yet submitted their reports to do so by the end of April 2014. The Committee acknowledged the challenges posed by digital technologies and invited the Parties to include a section on this issue when submitting their 2014 and 2015 reports.
To read the decisions and new quadrennial periodic reports, visit the 2005 UNESCO Convention website.
The seventh ordinary session of the Intergovernmental Committee was held in Paris December 10 to 13, 2013. The Committee meets once a year for an ordinary session and is composed of 24 representatives of the Parties to the 2005 Convention, who are elected every four years.

As noted in the December newsletter, the 6th World Summit on Arts and Culture is scheduled for January 13 to 16, 2014. The National Council of Culture and Arts of Chile (CNCA) and the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) have posted two reports online for the Summit, the theme of which is "Creative Times: New Models for Cultural Development."
The purpose of the CNCA document, which evolved from the Summit program, is to spark discussion among participants. The first section of the document presents various challenges facing cultural development (e.g., culture and sustainable development, technology, and culture and globalization) and an examination of the future of cultural policy. The second section presents case studies, including projects in Cambodia, Australia, and Rwanda.
The IFACCA also prepared a document on key issues in public arts administration. The first section of the document provides an overview of public arts administration and its main strengths, weaknesses, and challenges, and the second section discusses the cultural sector. The document originated from a questionnaire distributed to public arts funding agencies, cultural policy experts, and members of the IFACCA network.
To read the documents prepared by CNCA and IFACCA, visit the IFACCA website.
The World Summit is the one important international summit that gathers professionals and practitioners involved in cultural policy and arts funding. This 6th World Summit offers a strategic opportunity to bring together key decision-makers and actors from the region involved in the challenges of funding the arts and supporting the development of creative industries and the cultural development of communities.

The National Library of Norway (NLN) is in the process of digitizing all of the country's publications. The project launched in 2006 and is expected to take 20 to 30 years to complete. The goal is not only to digitize ancient books, but also the country's more recent legally filed and published texts.
What makes the Norwegian initiative so unique is the sheer number of scanned documents, made even more significant because it includes ancient literature. The NLN plans to allow anyone located in Norway to access the books from the NLN website and other online sources.
January 1st marked the launch of the "Creative Europe" program approved by the European Parliament in November and the Council of the European Union on December 5, 2013. The goal of the program is to contribute to the promotion of cultural diversity, help the cultural and creative sectors make the digital shift, and open new markets for cultural goods and services.
The program will allocate a budget of 1.46 billion over the next seven years to the European cultural and creative sectors. This represents a 9% increase over the previous budget and will provide funding for some 250,000 artists and culture professionals. The initiative also aims to help small enterprises in the cultural sector by making up to 750 million in bank loans available.
Calls for proposals under the new program are available on the Creative Europe website.
The European cultural and creative sectors make up 4.5% of GDP in the European Union and employ over eight million people.

On December 27, 2013, Morocco's Ministry of Culture organized a day of dialogue to develop a new festival management model. Objectives of the new model include promoting cultural diversity and yielding socioeconomic returns from artistic events, primarily by establishing a better defined program and integrating all forms of artistic expression where possible.
This approach dovetails with the activities of another commission that was meeting in Rabat at the same time to discuss movie theatre management. The commission assigned to discuss the festival management issue also weighed in on the importance of professionalism in film festivals organized to promote Moroccan cinema nationally and internationally.
The release issued by the Moroccan Ministry of Communications is available on the ministry's website.
The two commissions include representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and other cultural organizations. The Moroccan Ministry of Culture assists in organizing 24 festivals, and 50-some film events are held across the country.
A meeting was held between culture experts and donors in Brussels December 17 and 18, 2013. The event was put on by the International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity (IFCCD), the International Organisation for La Francophonie (IOF), and ACPCultures+.
Several donors took part, including the IOF, UNESCO, the African Development Bank, and the British Council. The aim of the meeting was to share knowledge on funding research and the sustainability of cultural projects in French-speaking Africa.
Visit the IFCCD website to view meeting materials, including a presentation by the Danish Centre for Culture and Development and a presentation on crowdfunding for arts projects in Africa.
Crowdfunding is a call for tenders issued online to obtain funding for an initiative in exchange for compensation, which may take many shapesfrom explicit recognition in the work produced or reimbursement when the funding is provided as a community loan.

At the initiative of the Ministry of Culture and Francophonie of Côte d'Ivoire, 55 national and international experts met on December 26 to discuss strategies for implementing the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions . The organizers' main objective was to promote the 2005 Convention.
Two workshop activities were of particular note. In one, participants learned different ways to access project funding under the 2005 UNESCO Convention. It was suggested that government officials should be further encouraged to promote funding opportunities. In the other workshop activity, four work groups proposed solutions and actions to be taken to educate the public about the 2005 UNESCO Convention.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) released a report detailing the Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Accountthe most in-depth analysis of its kind published to date. According to the preliminary report, arts and cultural production accounted for 3.2% of U.S. GDP in 2011, representing $504 billion.
The motion picture and video industry alone contributed $47 billion to GDP in 2011. But according to the report, arts and cultural production's share of GDP has been declining since 2007, after ranging between 3.5% and 3.7% the previous decade. However, between 2008 and 2011, the United States exported $10.4 billion more arts and cultural commodities than it imported.
The report drew on data from the motion picture and video industry, advertising agencies, television production companies, publishers, and the performing arts sector.
The 2012 results will be available in the fall of 2014. To read the report, visit the BEA website.
In follow-up to the call for applications we reported on the July 2013 newsletter, the French Coalition for Cultural Diversity has released the names of the winners of its 2013 Cultural Diversity Award.
Romanian filmmaker Christian Mungiu was recognized for his perseverance in defending the exclusion of audiovisual content from the free trade talks between the European Union and the United States.
A second prize was awarded to Voix de Femmes, an association that organizes a biennial festival in Belgium to promote female creativity in all its forms.

Benefits of the Half moon pose at the wall
- Hip opener
- Great balancing pose for the uterus, as the ligaments get a rest one side at a time.
Be Aware of the following:
- Avoid if you are suffering pubic symphysis pain.
How to do the Half moon pose at the wall
- Place a block parallel to the wall, roughly 6 inches (12-15cm) away.
- Place your right foot 6 inches away from the block and also 6 inches from the wall.
- Place the right hand on the block as you step into the right foot with a bent knee lifing your left foot from the floor.
- As you straighten the right leg lift the left leg up so it is parallel to the ground and support against the wall.
- Begin to roll open against the wall, stacking hips and shoulders.
- Flex the left foot and extend the left arm up.
- Focus on extending from your floating heel to the crown of the head, AND from palm to palm across the chest.
- To lower, gaze to the floor, top hand to the hip. Bend in the standing leg and lower your floating foot. Once both feet are on the floor roll up to standing.
The most important thing about any prenatal exercise is that you listen to your body and only do the poses that feel good! You should never have any pain or discomfort while doing any of the following poses so move into them slowly and pay attention to how they feel, if they don't feel good, don't do them.
Please leave a comment below and let us know how you liked this pose.

You can form your own opinion about what's going on here, I know what mine is- big government and big pharma conspiring to take away your freedom of choice and steal your money.
**There is no way to predict what is going to happen here but there is a very real possibility that I will be forced to stop selling this safe and effective product to you. Stock up NOW if you know you need this product. Do not wait.**
By the way, for those who read the actual test report she references, it looks like the Relentless Improvement product is #17/ID 17022, page 7. As my product is pharma-grade material, it tested out to 135mg active per capsule vs label claim of 100mg active per capsule. So if you are unhappy that we under-promise and over-deliver, don't order the RI product!
Thank you for your trust and support.

If someone is selling a supplement and it does not contain any active material, that seller needs to experience a severe enforcement action, and the FDA has ALWAYS had the power to do that. If the product contains no active vinpocetine, it needs to be pulled and that supplier penalized.
The happily surprising test results (in general) of the picamilon products also clearly and inarguably show that self-policing can work.
Hopefully the FDA recognizes her letter as the grandstanding and pandering for MORE government control and for big pharma that it is, and lets it fade into oblivion. There are SO MANY far worse, egregious problems she could spend her time on than harassing supplement users by banning products that she does not like

Shivago Komarpaj, a physician over 2500 years ago, is credited with starting the practice of Thai Massage. He was from northern India and legend claims he was a personal friend and physician to the actual Buddha. Unfortunatly, verified records of Thai Massage have been lost over time. Thai Massage started gaining global attention after World War II, and became increasingly popular in the United States as decades progressed.
Thai Massage focuses on your energy lines called Sen Lines, and combines the benefits of massage and acupuncture. This form of massage provides deep relaxation and helps restore healthy blood circulation. It helps release energy blockages and relieves dysfunctioning organs, pain, stress/tension, flexibility, paralysis, nerve problems, and proper alignment of the spine. The goal is to stretch the entire body to achieve full relaxation. A normal session will last about two hours. Call us and book a Thai Massage today.

Yeah, I know right, pretty sweet!
We, like Chipotle, know just how much you deal with day-in and day-out to educate and essentially raise our children to become members of society.
The deal is great. "While you fill minds with knowledge, we'll fill your stomachs with burritos." Chipotle says.
On Teacher Appreciation Day, which is this coming Tuesday, May 8, any and all teachers can take advantage of a special – for teachers only – Buy One Get One free deal! The offer stands between 3 p.m. and close at any Chipotle restaurant. All you as a teacher have to do is bring your faculty school ID! Then, you will get a free burrito, bowl, salad, or order of tacos with the purchase of any one of the entrees. So, bring your friends!
Whether you're teaching preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, community college, at a college or university, Chipo-po's plans on hooking you up. This also, btw, does include non-teaching staff, faculty, and administration, as well. 🙂
This does not, however, apply to online or mobile orders though, so you'll have to physically go to an actual Chipotle restaurant to eat dinner or have a late lunch. Also, there is a limit of one free item per educator.
To all teachers, educators, professors, office administration, faculty, janitors, and the like… thank you for what you do. ❖

The Bridea ideas for brides box, described as "a wedding show in a box"requires no subscription and has been designed for brides to be able to sit back in the comfort of their own home and be inspired and excited by a thoughtfully selected bundle of treats, samples and info within as well as introducing businesses and ideas that can help plan the ultimate wedding day brought together in one package.
I discovered Bridea through one of their advertisements on Facebook. It immediately caught my attention as I scrolled through my news feed as Luke and I will be getting married in June of next year. We are full steam ahead with the planning and with so much to bring together for the big day a box full of treats, samples and ideas was of course very appealing.
The layout of the Bridea website is well designed, simple, clear and the whole ordering process was very straight forward and I received an order confirmation not long after claiming my box. When I ordered, Bridea had an offer of 20% discount running so with that applied and postage and packaging added I paid a total of £23.94. The box arrived within the estimated delivery and I was super excited to see what was inside. Little monkey was also keen to dig in!
Now I do have a little confession… when I seen the advertisement on Facebook I headed on over to the Bridea website missing the content list which was included on the advertisement, I seen the image of, what I now know to be, the luxury box which heads the homepage and did assume this was the box I would be receiving so I was slightly underwhelmed when opening the box initially however that was completely my mistake I wonder though if it would be possible to make it a bit clearer that the box pictured on the front page of the site is in fact the luxury box, but really I just got over excited, eager to order and possibly should have looked into it a bit further. It's important to say that I would still have ordered the box I did receive.
Within the outer packaging I found the for keeps keepsake box which housed the bundle of samples and literature along with a contents card describing some of what was included within the package. Alongside the box the A Bride To Be Bag which inside held The Ultimate Wedding Planner, a Love Our Wedding Magazine and a couple of leaflets for wedding suppliers.
Unfortunately my keepsake box didn't get to me in the best condition with scrapes and dents in a few places which I'm assuming was sustained during delivery, these things happen but because of this I'm not likely to use it as a keepsake box which is a shame because I love the cute design.
So…lets go into the full contents of the box, if you are thinking of purchasing and would rather wait to see the contents on arrival scroll past the next little bit that's in bold.
-A Bride To Be Bag by Bridea.
– The Ultimate Wedding Planner by Bridea.
Samples within the Keepsake box:
1. A Wedding Keepsake Box by Bridea.
2. A pair of wedding sunglasses by Bridea.
3. A wedding advice card by Bridea.
4. A wooden heart place tag by Bridea.
5. A Wedding Tea Towel by Wedding Tea Towels
6. A natural confetti pop by Shropshire Petals
7. A bride hairtie by Team Hen
8. Wedding favour sweets by Say it with a Sweetie
9. "I DO" Stickers by Bridalprops.com
10. English breakfast tea favour by Wedding in a Teabag
11. Small cup (can be personalised) by Wedding Cup Company
12. Save the date beermat by http://www.beermats.com
13. Wedding fan (can be personalised) by go.personalised.co.uk
After digging in to the box of goodies overall I was very pleased with the selection, In total there was 15 items, 16 including the magazine and a few of those I can actually use on the big day! The Ultimate Wedding Day Planner is fantastic, I love stationary and notebooks so I was very happy to receive the 50 page planner. There is most definitely business contacts included that I shall be looking into further during the planning and I've picked up a few ideas regarding decoration and wedding party gifts which will come in handy. The only thing I could suggest is if possible include a bigger variety of literature along with the samples but all in all I was very pleased and I cannot wait to start filling out the planner!
I do believe that the boxes are currently available to request, if you are interested to look into it further here is the link…. www.bridea.co.uk Bridea I love what you do and was very happy with my bundle of goodies, the whole concept is brilliant and lots of fun and it did get me excited and ignited ideas that I'd love to use on our big day so thank you for that, thumbs up from me!
I'm not entirely sure if the luxury box is yet available but it looks fab and is something I would be very interested in purchasing so therefore will be looking into.
This is not a paid post and was in no way sponsored by Bridea, I purchased the bride to be box and all images and opinions my own.

GrainFather, 5 Gallon all grain brewing system w/New Controller....
Now with the new Controller!
What can we say? This system has turning Jade into an all grain brewer after 5 years of Extract. This is a straight forward 5 gallon all grain brewing system with about a 16 inch footprint. Perfect for limited space. Just needs to be by an electrical outlet and a water source. When done it will fit into a hall closet. Hardest part is this system is putting it together and the guys here finished mine in 30 minutes.
Electric, Pump enclosed in system, Counter-flow wort Chiller included.

First time brewing on this was a five gallon IPA that turned out great. Second time I was determined to break it. 18 lbs of grain and 1 lb of rice hulls. Got all the grain in, most of the rice hulls. I think I had just a little too much strike water. Anyhoo, I have made 8 gallons of high gravity wheat beer then split at fermentation and added water for 10 gallons. The Grainfather just sailed right through. Loving this system.

French Visitors to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery
We just had some jovial French guys come through the distillery, funded by SATC The Real South Australia, they are having fun blogging around Australia and we hope their great stories send some visitors our way! Have fun Frenchies!!
Kangaroo Island Produce
You'll be surprised what great Kangaroo Island products you'll find in our online shop.
All of us Islanders need your help more than ever. Online shopping from local Kangaroo Island producers is a great way to support us. Here is link to some other great local producers online shops. Happy shopping!
What it means to support your Australian producers.
Here at Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery we are proud to stock 100% pure essential oils, all produced in Australia. Our very own Eucalyptus oil is so versatile and we are constantly finding and documenting more recipes and uses. We have been producing 100% Pure Eucalyptus oil on Kangaroo Island since 1991. Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial and anti-fungal, removes oil based stains and sticky things, acts as a penetrating oil, as well as having medicinal properties. Therefore is an ideal natural product for in and around the house, in the workshop and for the body. One of our popular recipes has been to use it in a snake deterrent. Please read on for more information including the recipe.
If you have snakes about we found this recipe. If your wanting to look after your pets and family, a litre of this mix may help. You can spray it along property boundaries, pathways, rock walls, or around the house, sheds, garages, aviaries, etc, snakes do not like open spaces and will most likely be found along fence lines, at back doors and around house and shed foundations. This recipe is safe to use if you have pets.
The recipe uses our Emu Ridge Eucalyptus, T/Tree oil, and we also stock Australian Lavender . Mixing with water is fine, If your using water just shake the bottle and spray. Metho can be added, water and oil don't mix that's why adding the metho helps make it water soluble for people spraying large areas with a large sprayer that find it difficult to shake.
All you do is mix the essential oils into the 800ml of water to make one litre, and halve it for the half mix. If you wish to make it water soluble add 400mls of water or add of 400ml of metho and will make it water soluble and easier with a large sprayer that's too hard to shake.
Beware of inferior oils. We are proud of our products and our prices, our oils are 100% pure and Australian! 90% of the worlds eucalyptus oil is from China and it is not pure. Always buy Product of Australia if you want to something that was produced in Australia, to compare prices you will find ours on our online shop, to give you an idea, 50ml Eucalyptus oil is $10.00, 50ml T/Tree oil is $12.00, 25ml Lavender oil is $36.00, 100ml Clove Bud oil is $20.00. These are the only oils that we stock at Emu Ridge that are in this recipe.
Snakes use their tongues to smell! Snakes have nostrils, just like humans. But a snake's tongue is also very important. When a snake flicks its tongue in the air, it picks up tiny chemical particles. When the snake brings its tongue back into its mouth, the tongue fits into a special organ on the roof of the mouth. This special organ is called the vomeronasal system. The vomeronasal system takes those tiny chemical particles and tells the snake what they are. This way the snake "smells" things like dirt, plants, other animals and the deterrent!
How else can I keep snakes out of my yard and house?
You can take measures to reduce the attractiveness of your yard, house or shed to snakes by keeping it clean and tidy. If you have a rock wall or other structure that has the potential to house frogs, rats and mice, you are attracting snakes, discourage these animals by blocking holes. Actively discourage rats and mice, and snake-proof your aviaries and poultry pens. It is also important to ensure that food scraps are disposed of properly to discourage rats and mice as snakes are attracted to places where they can obtain food. Bird owners should also discourage rodents by ensuring that aviaries are kept clean and hygienic and that the mesh is small enough to stop snakes entering. Blocking off as many potential access points as possible can significantly reduce the chance of snakes entering your house. Install screens on doors and windows. Block any holes around the house. Extra care should be taken during summer when the snakes are most active. In areas that experience flooding, snakes will move to higher ground during a flood. Take extra precautions at these times.
You can also call a professional snake catcher, they will do a great job. This person will catch and remove any snakes that you know of and take other actions necessary to solve your snake problem.
HOW DID WE FIND THIS RECIPE? We were recommended this mix by a reptile specialist whom did a huge amount of research on this subject for many years and was unable to produce it commercially due to huge government costs. It is said to be much more efficient than the vibration devices. It is recommended that you spray regularly, but if its rained or you have had extremely hot days you may need to spray more often. If you have a smaller yard or area make up a half mix, you can reuse your leftovers for another time, just store in a dark cool place. Other references we have found that say they help keep the snakes away are cinnamon oil as a ingredient it maybe worth trying to!
One gentleman Graham from Brisbane just loves using only our Eucalyptus oil and water to deter Geckos from his car port, he said it does a fantastic job he sprays once a week. (500ml of water 25ml of Eucalyptus)
Please be aware that this recipe we were given is only a deterrent, nothing will keep them away completely unfortunately. The oils are unpleasant to them and disguise the smell of your chickens or food which is what they are searching for. Keep your yards clean so they have less areas to make their home. We dont recommend spraying large areas with this mixture, it would be very expensive, its more to help around your home exterior, yard or camping etc.
TIPS: You can purchase or make a snake trap if you wish to catch the snake yourself. This YouTube clip shows you how to make a homemade trap.
Apparently minnow traps are well priced and can also be used for catching snakes, pop a few eggs inside. You can purchase them from fishing stores. Stay safe everyone!
I ordered the snake repellent 2 weeks ago after having no success trying Scott's wheelie bin cleaner (contains phenyl/phenol). I'd read that some people had success using the phenyl. In the meantime I purchased the ingredients from emu ridge for the snake repellent (my big guns). So when the snake (30cm juvenile eastern brown) reappeared 2 weeks ago after disappearing for two weeks (probably under some timber steps all along) I got the big guns out. I unfortunately got some of your repellent on the snake's side as he poked his head out in-between two sleepers. He then retreated back under the timber steps and I continued to spray around the area (decked out in boots/jeans/jacket/safety gloves and pressure pack). That was on the Saturday at my shack near Mannum, when I returned the following Friday the snake was unfortunately "very dead" and I could even see where the repellent had caused a large wound (chemical burn maybe). The ants and flies did the rest. So now I'm topping up my ingredients in readiness for the next visitor, if and when they arrive or as a preventative spray just before Easter. It's not my intention to kill them as I think they're an amazing creature, I think red-bellied blacks are beautiful critters (I'm not frightened of snakes, just their venom) so next time i'll spray the area without spraying directly on the snake. Thank you so much for posting this repellent, it's been a great help. I don't feel so helpless anymore.
Regards and best wishes Brett.

Eucalyptus Oil and Dustmites
We know how good our Emu Ridge eucalyptus oil is, here's more proof!
Tovey says leaving your rugs or carpets in the sun to 'bake' for three hours will kill all the dust mites, but it won't get rid of the allergen. Plus, it will quickly fade your fabrics!!
The best thing for bedding and clothes is regular washing in the machine. Tovey says dust mite allergen is highly soluble, and washing in warm water with normal laundry detergent removes close to 97 per cent of the allergen. "Most websites advocate washing bedding at 73 degrees – that's very hot water. Most systems don't have water that hot and I don't think it's worth the trouble – you're better to wash it more frequently," he said.
The Eucalyptus Oil Natural Cleaning Recipe:
6 Tspn ( Eucalyptus oil (0.4% concentration)
Refresh Pillows – Machine wash your pillows twice a year. Add half a cup on Baking Soda to your regular wash. Cover 2 tennis balls with socks and this will fluff up your pillows in the dryer. All you need to do is add 1 tsp of Emu Ridge Eucalyptus oil as well for a great clean fresh smell, plus it kills the dust-mites and removes oil based stains!
Recharge Towels – Wash your towels twice without detergent. Once with hot water and a cup of vinegar and on the second load, hot water and half a cup of baking soda, add a cap full of Eucalyptus oil for added freshness. You will have beautiful absorbent towels again!
Fragrance your home by Vacuuming
Next time you vacuum remember to add a few drops of one of our Emu Ridge oils to the bag. Your home will smell wonderful, 2 jobs in one, if you use Eucalyptus Oil it will kill dust mites as well!
Preserve your fresh herbs
What an awesome way to keep your herbs! Pop them in ice cube trays with some olive oil. Love it. You'll find great KI Olive oil on our site or in our shop on Kangaroo Island.

David Cameron and Ed Miliband have praised northern newspapers after they joined forces to demand a fair deal for the region, including the power and funding needed to manage our own affairs.
And the leaders of all three major parties agreed there had to be changes to the way England is governed, with more power dispersed to the great cities and regions beyond London.
It follows the unprecedented joint statement from newspapers in the North East, North West and Yorkshire who joined forces to demand that the North is not left behind when further powers are devolved to Scotland.
But while the party leaders agreed on the need to devolve authority to cities and regions, they clashed over how to do it - and in particular, over the question of how to change the way that politics is conducted at Westminster.
Mr Cameron said he backed "English votes for English laws". This is likely to involve creating an English "grand committee" in the Commons to discuss issues such as schools and hospitals, which only MPs representing English constituencies are allowed to attend.
Some Conservative MPs are pressuring the Prime Minister to go further and create a full blown English Parliament.
Mr Cameron has put his Conservative deputy William Hague in charge of drawing up plans, and said draft legislation would be published in January.
Labour leader Ed Miliband however has announced plans for a longer process, with consultations across the country leading to a constitutional convention to discuss changes next year.
It will consider "the case for a Senate of the Nations and Regions," Mr Miliband said.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said he backed reforms to Parliament to ensure only English MPs voted on English issues. He also highlighted his "Northern Futures" consultation, designed to decentralise power to the North.
Mr Cameron said: "Now that the people of Scotland will have more power over their affairs, so it follows that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say over theirs.
"The rights of these voters need to be respected, preserved and enhanced as well. So, just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish Parliament on their issues of tax, spending and welfare so too England, as well as Wales and Northern Ireland, should be able to vote on these issues and all this must take place in tandem with, and at the same pace as, the settlement for Scotland.
"The question of English votes for English laws – the so-called West Lothian question – requires a decisive answer.
"Today, several northern papers have done what local papers do best – come out campaigning for their area.
"I am clear that it is also important we have wider civic engagement about how to improve governance in our United Kingdom, including how to empower our great cities.
"This is something I am absolutely passionate about, which is why we have set out our long term economic plan for a Northen Powerhouse. Over the coming months we will continue to work with the North to make this plan a reality."
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "Labour welcomes the campaign by The Journal and other leading regional newspapers calling for new powers for the communities they serve.
"As I said yesterday we will deliver on our promise of further powers to Scotland. But other people in Britain including in England and including the north, now deserve the chance to shape their own futures with a dynamic devolution settlement open to every citizen.
"I want to ensure decisions are taken closer to families and businesses and in the interests of hard-working people.
"These issues can no longer be fixed solely by politicians or prime ministers.
"We will set out a process, to begin before the next election, with every region in the country, including the North East, engaged in a dialogue with the people about how power needs to be devolved."
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said: "Crucially, we need to address this huge missing bit of the jigsaw - which is England.
"Because, for far too long, far too many decisions have been taken on behalf of the towns, villages, cities and counties of England by Westminster and Whitehall.
"As a Sheffield MP, I tell you people in Sheffield quite rightly say, 'Well, if we're having all this debate about more power and control moving to other parts of the United Kingdom, why not to Sheffield too?' or to Manchester, or Liverpool, or Newcastle or to Cornwall?
"That's not something we're going to settle in a matter of weeks, but I think we should seize this opportunity to use this appetite for change to ensure that we move beyond the over-centralised status quo and really resettle things so that people feel much more in control of their own affairs."

Trailer King II ST225/75R15D
Trailer King II ST225/75R15 8PLY Radial Tire (only) - unmounted Max Load: 2540 Outside Diameter: 28.3 Max PSI: 65 Radial Tire. Load Range D.
Description: A radial tire is constructed differently. Rather than diagonal nylon plies that meet in the centerline it's made with polyester cords that run perpendicular from bead to bead, up over the face of the tire and down each sidewall. In other words it's "wrapped" at a right-angle to the direction of the tread. On the face of the tire over this polyester wrap, is a belt that runs below the tread. The belt is nearly the width of the tire and runs the circumference. This gives the tire a "squared" look. Though belts used to be made of rubber-coated fibers nearly all belts today are made from steel fibers. Hence the steel-belted radial. This belt helps stabilize the tread, reducing wear. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the sidewall will always have a bulge at the point of contact

April 5, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
28th January 2011
Breaking up the banks is obviously hard to do. But opinion divides on whether we should do it at all and how. This week the UK banks themselves argued that they don't need to be broken up. They argue that the resulting 'narrow banks' would be more risky not less, while suggesting that new regulations on things like capital adequacy are enough to prevent a crisis – reported here in FT.com .
Most pundits suggest that the Government's banking reviewer Sir John Vickers does not want a full break up but wants to ring fence the retail banks from other activities.
The Economist has a query however.
In its leader column, it asks whether simply ring fencing the retail bank makes them safe. It points out, unhelpfully, that in many instances in the UK, it was the retail bank where the problems arose with imprudent mortgage or business lending.
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg waded into the debate too. Like many of his Lib Dem colleagues – Vince Cable being the most vocal, he calls investment banks 'Casino Banks' and wants strong consideration given to a split.
The Conservative position is thought to be less radical. In fact, the PM David Cameron was warning about bank bashing only a few weeks ago.
However the week has brought some surprise advocates of the break up.
Veteran Scottish banker, Sir George Mathewson, who used to run RBS, suggests that rather than break up investment and retail, the Government should break some giant banks into smaller ones. RBS and NatWest should be split, he says, even though he masterminded the original merger. Lloyds and HBoS should split too but he wouldn't stop there with HBoS subsequently broken up into Halifax and Bank of Scotland. Here is The Scotsman's report .
Sir Peter Burt, former deputy chair of HBOS agrees as reported here by the Daily Mail .
On the Scotsman, commenter Pict takes a very Scottish point of view.
He writes: "If they break up RBS I can see it being pinched from under our noses and most of its parts being head-quartered in London just like HBoS was when it merged with Lloyds.

First Friday was a cult movement for many years. An underground following of folks would gather in uptown Oakland to enjoy a burgeoning gallery scene in a few block radius centered at 23rd st and Telegraph. That small hipster art movement has since ballooned into a sea of 20,000 people strolling from 27th & Telly all the way down to 14th & Broadway and beyond. It's been a bit overwhelming, but at least the growing population has started to look a lot more like Oakland. All the sudden you saw everyone who called this city home represented and it felt cool. The Art Murmur grew to absorb old school car culture, food trucks, street performing, and music. In short it became a real life multi-medium talent show in a city in need of something tight. But with a free unregulated night life, it was only a matter of time before the honeymoon was over.
The past few months, the event has gotten too big for it's britches, and tonight it burst at the seams. At 10:51pm at least three people were shot, one of them fatally, at 20th St and Telegraph. Then two more young men were wounded in a drive-by shooting shortly before 1am at 14th St and Webster. And lets not forget that there were was gun fire during January's First Friday as well. If you've been in recent months, you've seen the difference, and many of us from The Town knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Oakland composer, pianist, and emcee Kev Choice weighed in via facebook saying, "After going last month, I saw a shift in the dynamic in the streets. Didn't seem safe or positive after a certain hour."
When more young folks first started showing up at First Friday a few months back, I thought it was good because it introduced them to a whole new social scene in Oakland that was free, positive, and all ages. It also forced many white and/or middle class Oaklanders who don't venture east of the lake to actually reconcile with the diverse totality of Oakland. In other words, if you thought you could cultivate a homogenized Oakland existence that felt edgy without ever feeling a little uncomfortable, think again.
It's safe to say that while many Murmur attendees have enjoyed the influx of young people and people of color in recent months, others felt like their alternate Oakland universe was being encroached upon. It should be noted that Oakland's trendy rebirth is very much propagated on the rebellious image of gritty Oakland, so the fact that those same people are invested in keeping that grittiness out is both fucked up and unrealistic. And so it was that Oakland's signature brand of senseless violence reared it's ugly head in "New Oakland's" front yard tonight.
I'm not writing this to place blame. I'm writing this to say that we have a violence problem in this city. It's devastating that another young person was killed tonight, but it's also troubling that before the weekend is over another young person will probably meet the same fate, albeit with much less fanfare. If you want to live in this city, then you have to help us deal with this dilemma. You can't ignore this away. You can't gentrify it away. We have a crisis on our hands. "Wake up Oakland, we have an epidemic going on," Kev Choice said. "It cant be covered up by new fancy restaurants, trendy new bars, or sports stories. Sadly, this happens damn near everyday in East, West, or North Oakland. We have to face the harsh reality, and not continue to ignore the issue. It's an EPIDEMIC."
And that epidemic is rooted in some really deep shit. In America we have a gun culture, so all too many people solve problems with guns. You place that tendency in an urban city amidst disenfranchised populations who live in poverty and constant trauma, and you will have even more violence. It's not rocket science to diagnose, but it's very hard to find a solution. One thing that's clear however is that we need to address this together. If you are quick to point the finger at ratchets, hipsters, thugs, or police, take a step back and craft a more nuanced analysis. We need to address this together.
We can't undo generations of oppression in one month, but we can start by taking a united stand making it clear that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. If First Friday somehow endures, we need to show up in mass and regulate ourselves. You see someone harassing women, let them know to be cool. You see kids trying to cause problems, interrupt that shit by have a positive and humanizing interaction with them. No it's not easy to inject yourselves into testy situations, but if you're serious about saving something good in Oakland, then you have to put yourself out there. As someone who works in Oakland public high schools, there are many times when I don't want to put myself in harms way, but doing something to deescalate early on is always more safe than trying to contain something after it's blown up. This approach mandates that a diverse group of folks really from the community show up and model positive behavior though (I do have to admit however, that the thought of a bunch of well-intentioned squares leading conflict mediations with a bunch of goons is pretty comical).
Will folks soldier up and take this on? I certainly hope so (Anyone down to print up neon t-shirts that read "Respect My City"?). But if we can manage this, we can't stop at the uptown. If we do, the only message we'll be sending is that it's okay to disrespect each other and kill each other as long as it doesn't happen where there are white people and development dollars. If we want to handle violence we need to be clear that we won't stand for it anywhere. This takes community members taking on personal risk for a greater good. Am I being unrealistic? Perhaps, but it's 4am and I'm devastated for my city yet again. If you're new here, please help us out, but if you're an Oakland native who has felt the wrath of violence far too many times for way too many years, help lead the way.
In parting, I want to shout out my friend Jesus El who was grazed by a bullet tonight in a seperate incident at First Friday. There was a drive-by shooting at 14th and Webster in which a gunman opened fire hitting Jesus, as he stepped outside Disco Volante, and a 19 year old Laney student as he ran away from the shooting. I don't know the other young man's identity, but, you may know Jesus as the director of Oakland's High Altitude, a non-profit that teaches leadership and life skills to African American youth thru gymnastics and acro-dunking. And you've most definitely seen him leading the Show Time Dunk Team as they do amazing acrobatic dunks during Golden State Warriors games (Watch his Ebony Magazine video feature). I mention these details, because when people are shot in Oakland, I think a lot of us assume they were aimless thugs, rather than vital members of our patchwork community. You never know who will be caught in the cross-fire. Stay strong Jesus!
I'll leave you with an apropos poem I wrote a year ago. It's called Cacophony Shop Blues
I.I often wonder how this city can house so much beauty and bitter pain
Often wonder how this city can be both purgatory and Promised Land
Hell for the right price
Paradise for the high bid
The New York Times paints us hipster chic
The Oakland Trib is a police blotter in ink
Park Slope or West Bank? Baghdad or Berkeley?
A cacophony of extremes that leaves us misrepresented at the least
Both our assent and demise relegated to a paragraph at most
It's something
But blurbs won't do this town justice
II.I watch my students brave the harshest weather in summer
When it gets hot, pistols often follow suit
Hydrants and bodies burst open in the streets of East Oakland
I feel the burden of this beast in my gut
Oh the things we learn to stomach…
Gentrification serves up overpriced small plates
As the old block serves up under valued small children
Babies are bloodied in a crossfire seldom contextualized
Young men battle for pride in a city that is closing them in and moving them out.
Murders earn headlines with no body
But economic genocide isn't even in our vocabulary
Money pushes people out
Whether you use uptown lofts for lease or used glocks in the east
They both serve the same God complex
We all want control
Hipster mothers fight for middle class as
Activists fight for plazas as
Marginalized young men fight for corners…
We all just want a piece of this half-baked American pie
Some how we're convinced we all want something different
We'll get after ends by any means
We get it how we live… sitting in or shooting out
This cacophony of opinions as loud as barrages of bullets
And the cries of wounded children
III.Gabriel Martinez was 5
Carlos Nava was 3
Hiram Lawrence was 1
When they met the fate of guns
Murder doesn't happen in a vacuum, it happens in a city
A land of oaks and folks I love
A beautiful city with demons and, most recently, dead babies
Don't trick yourself into thinking you're a world apart
Don't let this January sun numb what December wrought
And don't let your privilege or apathy write you an alibi
Paulo Freire said, "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."
And it was Audre Lorde who said, "Your silence will not protect you."
Don't save your testimony for cocktail parties or funerals
And don't save your care for those most like you
We're on this ship together whether you like it or not
Bob Marley said, "When that rain falls, it don't fall on one man's house."
Or apartment
Or tent
Or child

"The Democratic Party remains committed to closing the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay and ending indefinite detention without trial or conviction. Keeping the facility open is a blemish on our record, serves as a recruiting tool for extremists, and undermines our standing in the world."
"We will always seek to uphold our values at home and abroad, not just when it is easy, but when it is hard. That is why President Obama banned torture without exception in his first week in office and why Democrats condemn Donald Trump's statements that he would engage in torture and other war crimes. We agree with military and national security experts who acknowledge that torture is not an effective interrogation technique."

Plus, we've got world travel suggestions from the professionals and some instance rtw routes, as well as information on airline alliances to aid you choose the correct ticket for your dream trip. Regardless, SkyTeam has singular strengths in Russia and central Africa, and the addition of China Southern Airlines (2007), China Eastern Airlines (2011) and China Airlines (2011) provides vast new choices in China, Taiwan and around some of Asia's far more exciting nooks.
Every single time I go onto the Qantas website and search reward flights + RTW it keeps taking me to the oneworld internet site RTW planner so I don't have any notion how to investigate how many points my planned trip is. I am only getting a US dollar figure.
The dates and journey do not have to be planned, but could be changed en route at a regional workplace of any airline in the alliance (even though a modify of destinations frequently results in an further fee, and if the subsequent flight is left open-dated the booking can be dropped by the airlines).
Nevertheless, there is a wonderful worth points redemption that permits for up to 15 flights with Qantas and oneworld companion airlines – the 'oneworld Classic Reward' – which can be used for up to 35,000 miles of travel, in Economy, Premium, Business or First Class.
Once you are done piecing collectively each flight, get in touch with Qantas Frequent Flyer and tell them you would like to redeem a oneworld Classic Flight Reward for a round the world itinerary, giving them the specifics you've located.…
