The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching
By Mantak Chia and Tao Huang
• Includes practices and meditations for living in harmony with the Tao (universal essence) and Te (kind action)
• Reveals the integration of heavenly and human power in the mystic field within us
• Presents Tao Huang's English translation of the Tao Te Ching from the original Chinese Mawangdui text unearthed in 1973
For over 2,500 years the words of the Tao Te Ching, the primary scripture of Laoism and Taoism, have been regarded as among the greatest treasures of the world. Lao-tzu, whose name means "the ancient child," wrote these brief but essential verses that have both confounded and conferred blessings on humankind. Now Taoist masters Mantak Chia and Tao Huang guide readers through the origins of this philosophy, the meaning behind its 5,000 pictographs, and the way of living that generations have followed.
While the text of the Tao Te Ching has been passed down in literary form for generations, the essence of the text can be understood only through heart awakening--a true integration of body and mind--made possible with the insights and exercises in this book. The authors analyze Lao-tzu's teachings, line by line, and offer meditations, interpretations, and practical illustrations that clarify the true meaning and purpose of this classic text.

The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching - Mantak Chia
Introduction: Conveying the Heart of Lao Tzu's Teaching
Based on the ancient Chinese sage Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching is the result of collaboration between contemporary Taoist masters Mantak Chia and Tao Huang. The authors bring their deep knowledge and experience of Taoist philosophy and practice to this mystical scripture and illuminate its meaning for Western readers.
Tao Huang, with assistance from Edward Brennan, offers a new translation of the Tao Te Ching, and Mantak Chia and Tao Huang together offer penetrating discussion and meditation on the text. The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching also provides a number of practices and meditations to enable the reader to vitalize the body and mind and open oneself further to the inner meaning of Taoist teachings. The authors at times bolster traditional Taoist perspectives with corroborating contemporary scientific knowledge. They also periodically draw on the wisdom of the ancient Chinese I Ching, or Book of Changes. Above all, they seek to bring the inner essence of the Tao Te Ching to life through transmitting the heart of Lao Tzu's teaching.
For over 2,500 years, the five thousand pictographs of the Tao Te Ching have been regarded as among the greatest treasures in the world. The scripture is the basis of Laoism (the Chinese philosophy expressed in the writings attributed to Lao Tzu) and Taoism (the religious tradition based on this philosophy that has developed over the centuries).
The Tao Te Ching, roughly meaning
Classic of the Way and Virtue, is popularly attributed to Lao Tzu, who, according to tradition, was an older contemporary of Confucius born in the sixth century B.C.E. Lao Tzu was born Li Er. His legendary name, Lao Tzu—meaning the
old philosopher or the
ancient child—rose from his mother's lips as she delivered him under a plum tree. His white hair gave him the countenance of an aged man, which elicited his mother's cry of joy upon seeing him emerge into this world.
During his lifetime Lao Tzu worked in the capital as an archivist in the Imperial Library of the Zhou Dynasty court. This enabled him to reconstruct the spiritual paths of many enlightened sages and holy men who came before his time. After having meditated for three years in a cave in northwest China (now known as Lao Tzu's Cave), he achieved his enlightenment.
According to legend, Confucius met Lao Tzu in Zhou, where Confucius was going to study the library scrolls. Confucius, over the following months, discussed ritual and propriety, the central tenets of Confucianism, with Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu criticized what he felt to be hollow practices. Taoist legend holds that these discussions proved far more fruitful for Confucius than all of his academic studies.
Lao Tzu eventually resigned from his post at the Imperial Library and retired to the mythical K'un-lun mountains. He transmitted his teachings to a border guard who convinced him to write down his wisdom before disappearing from society. The result was the Tao Te Ching.
This short and poetic work is one of the most influential of all Chinese philosophic and religious texts. Its influence has also spread widely outside the Far East and is probably the most translated Chinese book. The Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts, the Tao Ching and the Te Ching, and into eighty-one chapters. Each chapter is succinct, using few characters to poetically express subtle ideas. Many chapters lend themselves to multiple levels of interpretation, from guidance on political leadership to instruction on higher spiritual development.
Tao Huang, during a powerful spiritual experience that took place on the winter solstice in 1988, experienced a direct mind-to-mind transmission from the old master Lao Tzu himself. Tao Huang explains,
He came to me through meditation. It was the beginning of the heart-sealed teaching of my life, or direct spiritual initiation.
In The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching, Tao Huang and Mantak Chia shed light on the essence of the Tao Te Ching through their in-depth and personal knowledge of Taoist philosophy and practice. It is the first book to integrate meditation, interpretation, and illustration in its illumination of the text.
The essence of this project is more experiential than conceptual in nature, explains Tao Huang,
even though it is laced with all sorts of Taoist concepts. Taoism is all about experience.
The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching particularly deals with the nature, meaning, and practical ramifications of Tao and Te, two principles of utmost importance in Taoism. The word Tao does not have an English equivalent; it can be translated as God, creation, nature, universal essence and its manifestation, or the Way of all life. Te is similarly difficult to translate; it refers to action, virtue, morality, beauty, and gracious behavior. The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching examines the text of the Tao Te Ching in a different sequence than is typical. The authors discuss the text in an organic, flowing manner that presents the true meaning of the integration of heavenly power and human power in the mystic field within us.
This book is neither a strict translation of nor a commentary on the Tao Te Ching. While the teachings of Lao Tzu have been passed down for many centuries in literary form, their inner essence has to be transmitted through faithful devotion and practice, and illuminated through heart awakening. Faith opens the door to the wisdom mind, allowing the power of the teaching to be illuminated within the golden chamber of the heart.
The authors, as ethnic Chinese, have witnessed how the real meaning of the original text of the Tao Te Ching has become altered through personal, cultural, or literary filters. As Taoist masters destined to present the teachings of the Tao in the West, Mantak Chia and Tao Huang have the rare ability to transmit the true meaning of the Tao Te Ching to their Western students and readers.
Whatever the inherent limitations of words, they nonetheless can serve to convey the insights of enlightened life experience—just like our physical bodies are vessels that can glorify God through their destined journeys. To this end, the authors have digested all the words of Lao Tzu's teaching, knowing how they should be registered in the mind and echoed in the heart. Lao Tzu's teaching opens the heart and charges the will. Its universal power transcends cultural distinctions.
The Tao Te Ching was written in classical Chinese, which is difficult even for modern native speakers of Chinese to understand completely. Additionally, many of the terms used in the Tao Te Ching are deliberately ambiguous, and numerous important Chinese words and concepts have no equivalents in English. These factors have contributed to editors' and translators' enormous difficulty in preserving and conveying the original meaning of the text.
As noted above, The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching relies on a new translation by Tao Huang and Edward Brennan. The translators have sought to bring the essence of Lao Tzu's text to life, with immediacy and authenticity, for contemporary English readers. The entirety of the new translation is presented at the end of the book, and throughout the chapters that follow, sections of the verse of the Tao Te Ching are presented in italic type. Chapter and verse numbers appear in abbreviated form. For example, chapter 3, verses 2–5 would be designated as (3:2–5).
James Legge, in his translator's preface to his 1882 translation of I Ching, Book of Changes, elucidates a special challenge of translating Chinese:
The written characters of the Chinese are not representations of words, but symbols of ideas, and the combination of them in a composition is not a representation of what the writer would say, but what he thinks. The characters of the Chinese language are pictographs or ideographs; they are graphical representations of abstract ideas. Legge explains that when the symbolic characters have brought the translator's mind
en rapport with that of the author, the translator is free to render the ideas in another form of speech, in the best manner that he or she is able.
In the study of a Chinese classical book, he writes,
there is not so much an interpretation of the characters employed by the writer as a participation in his thoughts—there is the seeing of mind to mind. This seeing of mind to mind is the key to the power of the fresh translation presented here.
Further, the new translation avoids the distortions that have accrued over the centuries to the
standard version established by Wang Bi in the third century C.E. The new translation relies directly on the Mawangdui manuscript, unearthed by Chinese archeologists in 1973. Tao Huang has great confidence in the originality and simplicity of the Mawangdui manuscript, and used the
standard version only to fill in the blanks in cases where there are words or phrases missing in the Mawangdui text.
Throughout its history, the Tao Te Ching has been altered through a myriad of translations and commentaries. This process of translation, interpretation, and speculation has often defeated the illumination and application of wisdom and mystical truth offered by the text. Yet, regardless of how philosophers rationalize, leaders manipulate, military strategists deploy, scholars garble, meditators chant, and religious people worship, the essence of the text remains untouched and unscathed by time.
When comparing the Mawangdui text with other sources, Tao Huang found numerous problems. Throughout the centuries, the philosophical Laoists have tended to standardize the text as their own philosophy and dismiss its practical application, central to its essential meaning. Some, who have been influenced by Buddhism, have dismissed the Tao Te Ching as rife with tricks and sophistries. These configurations of the text reflect various biases and subsequently distort its meaning. Tao Huang of course discovered similar difficulties with the numerous English translations available.
In order to avoid these abundant distortions, English readers must endeavor to connect to Lao Tzu's original mind, not to others' mindless minding of Lao Tzu. They need the energetic vibration generated through Lao Tzu, not the linguistic interpretation. They need a direct spiritual sensation passed down by Lao Tzu. The authors respond to this deep societal need with The Secrets of the Tao Te Ching. They wish to capture the original state of Lao Tzu's conscious flow and to sense the vibration of the wordless uttering of the Tao.
A Note on the Transliteration
There are several different systems for transliterating Chinese words into English (representing or spelling Chinese characters in the English alphabet). For this book, the authors have opted to use the Wade-Giles system, used in Mantak Chia's previous books, for most words. Thus, they use the spelling Tao, Lao Tzu, Chi, and Ching. (In the Pinyin system, these words would be spelled Dao, Lao Zi, Qi, and Jing.) Some Chinese words may appear in the Pinyin system.
The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching serves as a bridge or door, a conscious connection between oneself and the wonders of the universe, or God's creation. The
door functions as a middle point between the internal world and the external world, between the information within and without—or between those who have been initiated and those who have the gifts of God but have not yet established a cosmic bridge within themselves. The cosmic bridge or door becomes a necessary vehicle for people's communication on both sides—such as the teachers, who are always inside the door, and the students, if not initiated, who are wondering (or wandering) outside the door.
In order to open the door, one's heart must be ready, and one must have completed a purification process. Otherwise, the heart-sealed transmission of teachings between teacher and student cannot begin. Ultimately, the door refers to a specific realm of consciousness of God, a line connecting two sides, or a flowing river touching both sides of the riverbed.
As you go through the book, read the words as if you were listening to a storyteller. Hear your inner conscious dialogue talking back and forth dreamingly between your true self and God; the messages in the teaching will shine upon you.
The Taoist exercises presented throughout the book emphasize emptying the mind, vitalizing the stomach, softening the will, and strengthening the character—important physical/emotional/spiritual skills that will help you to open to the inner meaning of the Lao Tzu's teaching.
Emptying the mind enables the mind to become tranquil and return to its childlike state. Only when the mind is empty will the body be full with love and the spirit be able to present itself.
Vitalizing the stomach is filling the stomach with purified Chi.
Softening the will discusses the process of fully accepting the body/mind and world by diminishing ego expectations and the will of self-deception/punishment. And finally,
strengthening the character is standing up with one's authentic character—the true self—and allowing the mind to shine.
In The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching the authors present their transmission of Lao Tzu's message. His words are now their words. You cannot read Lao Tzu here; he has died into their hearts. The transmission you will receive depends on how your own heart is driven by your faith. The Tao is always present, the Tao Te Ching is always alive, and Lao Tzu is always smiling upon us. The Tao is always open to those who wish to step into the mystery of life and beyond.
The following chapters are the result of the collaborative efforts of two distinct Taoist masters who have different backgrounds and orientations in their practice of the Tao. In Taoist literature, there are eight famous
immortals, legendary Taoist masters, each of whom has a unique style of life and approach to the Tao. Yet they all share a commonality of experience as they evolved into the oneness of the eternal, universal void of the all-encompassing Tao. While masters Chia and Huang may have attained different realms of expertise in their approach to the Tao, their ultimate destination is the same. We are fortunate to be the beneficiaries of their combined offerings.
Master Chia is like an older brother, a more experienced teacher of the Tao in Western cultures. He teaches an ascending range of practices designed to culminate in the Wu Chi (the origin or source of all things, the undifferentiated, primordial void) and spiritual immortality and physical/spiritual immortality. He is popularly known for teaching Taoist fundamentals for health and inner peace, which include understanding, cultivating, and gaining mastery of sexual energy. Working with physical and spiritual energies is the main focus of Master Chia's approach to the Taoist path: Sense the Chi (vital energy or life force) and Jing (generative energy/sexual essence) and cultivate these energies; conserve them and refine them into Shen (spiritual energy). Use the Shen to enter the Wu Chi, to return to the Tao, and to attain immortality. His focus is on practical cultivation:
You do it; you get it!
Tao Huang, the younger Taoist, has a more introspective approach to the Tao and emotional/psychological liberation. After his spiritual initiation through experiencing in meditation the direct transmission of Lao Tzu's teaching, he
received the Tao and was sealed internally with the power of the inner alchemy tradition. From that day forward he was surrounded by twenty-five hundred years of Taoist tradition and connected to the sacred teachings through the power of Lao Tzu. He was then initiated into the Dragon Gate school of Taoism, which emphasizes neidan, or inner alchemy practice. As a result of his particular path in Taoism, Tao Huang focuses more on the inner dimension of Taoist practice through dream yoga, neidan, and other meditation practices.
Tao Huang lays the foundation of The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te Ching with his commentary and practical information related to Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Mantak Chia provides complementary perspectives and practices refined from his extensive experience of teaching people from all over the world. The thrust of the book is directed to the practical significance and ramifications of cultivating the Tao (the Way of all life) and Te (Virtue). Mindfulness of the Tao and Te in our lives and in our cultivation practices transforms all that we are and all that we do.
The Tao Te Ching and the Taoist practices discussed in this book originated in a society vastly different from most modern societies. Ancient China was an overwhelmingly male-dominated society in which men possessed the political, civil, and monetary power and women had little or no opportunity for independent action or existence. While evidence of this imbalance may remain in some of the language of the ancient Taoist literature and discussion presented here, it is intended that the contents of this book be used to provide equal and mutual benefits for women and men.
Wordless Uttering of the Tao
The Tao that is voiced is no longer that of eternal Tao.
The name that has been written is no longer that of eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of the cosmic universe.
The named is the mother of the myriad creatures.
Being at peace, one can see into the subtle.
Engaging with passion, one can see into the manifest.
They both arise from a common source but have different names.
Both are called the mystery within the mystery.
They are the door to all wonders.
The word Tao (pronounced
dow) is no longer a strange term in Western society; it is used with increasing frequency in English language and literature. However, the word Tao represents something that is profoundly subtle and impossible to grasp with the conceptual mind. For Lao Tzu, the Tao is a mysterious, numinous unity underlying and sustaining all things. It is inaccessible to normal thought, language, or perception.
Understanding its meaning is paramount to viewing the magnificence of the cosmos, tapping into the mystery of the universe, and searching for the origin of nature. It encompasses the vast, outer reaches of the universe; it is invisible, unfathomable, and unreachable; it is remote, ancient, and untraceable. It is beyond conception; it is too abstract to convey literally; it is mystical beyond comprehension. It remains forever silent, unmoved, and sublimely peaceful. Before the reality of the Tao, the voice can no longer utter sound, the eyes can no longer express their curiosity, and movement is halted in its forward journey. The veil of its mystery cannot be pierced. Philosophy cannot define its elusive meaning. Science cannot calculate its potential.
To define the Tao is to listen to silence, observe nakedness, and activate stillness. It can be likened to communicating with your inner voice, awakening your innate talent, finding a home with eternal beauty, and releasing your full potential. There can then be no alienation nor intimidation of your ultimate power.
To define the Tao is to catch your breath, focus your attention, calculate and refine your action, move with care, and make friends with the enemy. The breath is life's inspiration; attention forms concentration, and action results. Stepping forward is the reward. As the enemy recedes in the shadow, the Tao permeates your aura.
To define the Tao is to stand on the highest mountain peak, swim in an ocean of love, and soar with the dove in the valley of death. It is to connect with power. To

Tips and Hints
- Avoid acronyms – assume we don't know what they mean. The only exception is your organisation name, which should be written in full the first time. Then an acronym is acceptable.
- Consider a glossary of terms if your project is complex or technical.
- Ensure that your budget is accurate.
- If you are unsure about any part of the grants process – call the Trust on 07 3102 9588.
- Please make sure your organisation and your submission is "grant ready".
- We recommend that you don't generalise in your application. We need specific facts and figures, and we value measurement and evaluation of impact.
- If your project does not easily fit The John Villiers Trust funding criteria, please don't apply. You are probably wasting time that could be spent more successfully applying to another trust with funding criteria that are more appropriate for your project.
- Please write in clear simple English – avoid jargon.

You will receive an email acknowledgement of receipt of your EOI within four weeks of submission.
If you do not receive such notification, please contact the Trust's office on 07 3102 9588.
If our application is unsuccessful, can we seek feedback?
The Trust can provide feedback only if your application was unsuccessful due to ineligibility. The John Villiers Trust receives many worthy applications every year, of which only about 20% are funded. Applications are generally unsuccessful due to limited funding. We operate with a small number of staff, and unfortunately cannot give feedback on applications that were unsuccessful for reasons other than ineligibility.
If our organisation was unsuccessful, can we apply again in the next round?
If our organisation was unsuccessful, can we resubmit the same application again?
No, unless you are invited to resubmit by the Trust.
What are our obligations if we are approved?
Successful applicants are required to sign a Grant Conditions form, which outlines the requirements.

N° 1 : Work efficiently to promote Agriculture
Agriculture is the main economic activity of developing countries, which also has shortcomings in terms of productivity and yield as well as information. It is important that the African people pay particular attention to this economic lever.
The challenge at this level is to modernize and popularize agriculture, make this activity attractive to young people by introducing new innovative practices.
N° 2 : Involve youth more in Agriculture
Unemployment and youth migration to the unknown are at the heart of our strategy plan. More than 10 million young Africans enter the labor force each year. Most of them work in agriculture (according to some studies, 65% of the labor force is employed in the agricultural sector which generates 32% of the GDP). Our job will be to excite youth engagement in agricultural value chains.
- So the first challenge is to change the way young people look in agriculture.
- The second challenge is the development of skills on the ground.
N° 3 : Produce more food and reduce hunger
Agriculture is not only a source of food production but also a source of income for a large part of the world's population. It plays a greater role in the fight against malnutrition, especially if nutrition is fully integrated into agricultural strategies. So our challenges are:
- Increasing agricultural production and productivity in the face of population growth in particular, is essential.
- Harnessing biodiversity as one of the ways to do this is to diversify agricultural production into horticulture, pulses and others.
- Develop value chains

Airtel ties up with HDFC Life to make insurance affordable and accessible for all
Airtel's Rs 249 prepaid bundle will come with Rs 4 lakh life cover from HDFC Life along with 2GB data, Unlimited Calls to any network and 100 SMS/day
Bharti Airtel and HDFC Life Insurance have joined hands to leverage technology and the deep penetration of mobile services to build a financially secure India.
Airtel has launched a prepaid bundle that will come with in-built life insurance cover (term plan) from HDFC Life Insurance. Airtel's new Rs 249 prepaid bundle will come with Rs 4 lakh life cover from HDFC Life along with 2GB data, Unlimited Calls to any network and 100 SMS/day. The recharge is valid for 28 days and policy cover till recharge is active. A customer needs to enrol for the insurance after the first recharge through SMS, My Airtel App or Retailer. The insurance renews automatically for subsequent recharges.
As per IRDAI, the insurance penetration in India is less than 4 per cent (of the population) while smart phones will account for 38 per cent of all networked devices by 2022.
The policy, which is available to all customer aged 18-54 years, requires no paperwork or medical examination (the customer is only required to give a declaration of good health) and the policy or CoI will be instantaneously delivered digitally. A physical copy of the insurance can be provided on request. Airtel's innovative prepaid bundle gives convenience to mobile customers with significant amount of data and a sizeable insurance protection at under Rs 9 per day. The entire process is digitally delivered in a matter of few minutes at any Airtel retail store or on MyAirtel app.
Adarsh Nair, Chief Product Officer, Bharti Airtel said: "A telco is well positioned to provide the digital backbone to drive innovation and create value for consumers. This is a first among many powerful use cases that leverages the power of a telco to build a digitally enabled and financially inclusive India. Insurance adoption is abysmally low in India, including in urban areas. Price, access and convenience of payments are barriers to adoption. With this innovation, Airtel is removing those barriers for providing basic insurance to a very large set of India's population and making the process extremely simple – just recharge your phone and you are insured. We are really excited to join forces with HDFC Life who share our vision of leveraging technology for the good of people and delight customers with meaningful innovation."
Commenting on the tie-up, Suresh Badami, Executive Director – HDFC Life, said, "At HDFC Life, we are constantly looking at creating eco-systems that enable us to improve our reach of insurance products. Two of India's customer-centric brands have come together to offer this innovative product. I am confident that this tie-up is a great opportunity to make insurance accessible to every Indian. We will continue to create more awareness and bring solutions that help reduce the protection gap in India."

I just saw my first ever otter. I've been trying to spot one for years and finally saw one today. Believe it or not it was in Nottingham just outside the city centre right near one of the main roads leading into the city. Absolutely beautiful and has made my week.
Beautiful animals and great they are back in most rivers in the UK, good to see them back in Glasgow and Edinburgh city centre. Famous otter near Arthur seat in Edinburgh, getting a lot of views most days now. The river Kelvin one is harder to spot.
I seen my first otter up in torridon and was very special, equally so for my girlfriend when she spotted hers near ullapool during the summer.
Nice, enjoy it. I saw my first otters playing in the sea off the west coast of Arran in 1992, due to being forced to stop by sheep on the road.
Never saw again one despite some serious otter watching in the north west of Scotland every year.
It became the family joke and the Mrs even saw one crossing the road in Flint. It had sunglassses on, a bottle of Buckfast and a Saltaire, and was clearly taking the piss out of me.
Since 2015 I've seen loads off Arisaig and Mallaig. Our kid has a good video of one on the beach at night with a fish.
Incredible creatures and that they have returned in numbers is a rare success. Used to see them in the burns around Plockton.
Can you eat them ?
There is a curry house in Devon that does a Tarka Dal with extra chillies for those who like a little otter.
> Can you eat them ?
You can eat badger, so probably?
They've re-established on the river where I fish, and they have really sorted the mink problem. We were 'controlling' mink which were causing problems with water voles, breeding birds etc (and the trout). The otters keep the mink away and have fitted in well, the trout are happily coexisting with their 'natural' predator, every river should have one!
I saw a huge dead otter on the A38 at Derby a few years ago. Derbyshire WT said they are quite established in the Derwent. My best ever otter sighting was when i was watching through binoculars on the north coast of Torridon close to Diabaig. It was floating on its back demolishing a sea urchin, when a Pine Martin scavanging the tideline paused right in my field of view to watch the otter, for a full minute I watched them both looking at each other before they went about their business. Magic and inedible*.
Edit *indelible.
It's amazing when you see them isn't it.
Our girls sat in torrential rain for an hour watching a family of them on Arisaig beach, highlight of their half term.
In the canal ?
I bumped into one while snorkeling in Wester Ross (being coy about where but it's on the snorkel trail) I don't know who was more surprised. I treasure a still from the video I was taking with my wee underwater camera.
Once had a wonderful family day canoeing around the islets by Tinker's Hole (between Mull, Erraid and Iona), amongst other things watching an otter play in the water and on the rocks.
And another where we spotted one from the car, frolicking on the shore of Loch Sunart, as we headed out to Ardnamurchan.
However, all is not rosy with these beasties. Whatever you do, don't google "Adam Rutherford truth about otters"...
In the river Leen just before it goes under the road and joins the Trent
They are becoming well established in greater Nottm. There was one a few weeks ago performing in the middle of the afternoon for the punters at Attenborough NR
It says something that the only record of otter in the early 90s when I first came to Notts was roadkill on the A46 ( hit by a notable local naturalist, according to legend). There are now sufficiently common on the Trent and environs that some of the fishing clubs are lobbying for permission to kill them!!
I was shown a little clip of video of an otter (unsuccessfully) stalking a swan!
Have a like, purely for the autocorrect!!
I bet the local fish population is ecstatic.
Surprising. I'd noticed there were quite a lot of fish now. It used to be completely dead. I've seen kingfishers near Dunkirk.
Spotted my first otter last year. It was crossing the main road through an industrial estate in Kirkwall in what passes for rush hour in Orkney. Cool as anything.
Saw a family of them on the coast near my house in spring this year, playing and hunting along the shore.
I paddled the trent/canal loop a couple of weeks ago. There was a kingfisher sat bold as brass on a pipe/ outlet thing by the old boots site. I love seeing that flash of blue
Good. At least some things are getting better.
> Beautiful animals and great they are back in most rivers in the UK, good to see them back in Glasgow and Edinburgh city centre. Famous otter near Arthur seat in Edinburgh, getting a lot of views most days now. The river Kelvin one is harder to spot.
Pretty sure there is now far more than one otter on Arthur's Seat. Last year, I saw a family of three of them swimming in Dunsapie Loch. This year it has been crazy: it used to be you had to be in the park after sunset to have a chance, now they are coming out in broad daylight to get their picture taken by tourists. I saw two of them last week, probably mother and child because one was much smaller, on the path up from Duddingston to Dunsapie loch and one all the way round near the entrance at the palace.
There's also a lot more deer in the park than there used to be.
Sounds like a mixed curried game pie could be a winner !
Thanks, Chaps !
They are cool, aren't they!
I've only seen a couple that I remember but both times they just wandered by without paying me any mind, for a creature that size I find that so surprising. In their place I'd probably be thinking "four legs good, two legs bad, two legs that much bigger than me very bad!".
There has been a pair on the River Kent for a number of years now, they are as bold as brass.
I came across a group marvelling at an Otter in another location, remarking how cute it was and amazing to see, I think I spoiled their day when I pointed out it was in fact a mink.....
Some excellent sightings.
I'm just old enough to remember the last otter hounds where I live!!! Goood riddance!
About 15 years ago I was working on a steel walkway alongside the R.Ilien in Skibbereen town centre (W.Cork!) 2 otters came and fished immediately below us for a good 20 minutes in broad daylight.
I see them often when canoeing up here in the grim North East!
There is a local population around the bottom of Llyn Padarn , But last year was the 1st time in years that i haven't had 1 sighting. I live on the river Seiont and in 30+ years only ever had 1 sighting of mink and that was a family fight (very noisy) Saw my 1st Salmon last week the 1st in years
On Twitter today!
I shed a tear or few when i saw my first one in a small bay on Islay a few years ago. Then, later that evening, I looked out of the window of the place we were staying and saw 2 more playing in the sea! A good day (a good week-saw a Minke 2 days later)
3 weeks ago sitting outside the tent in Torridon watched one catching fish whilst I ate my less than tasty breakfast!
Brilliant. That is a big salmon. My grandfather was a keen fisherman (helped found Windermere and district angling association) and he never saw a single otter in his life. I've seen them on Grasmere, Elterwater, Windermere and Coniston. A few years back I chatted to the lake wardens on Windermere and they knew of 3 family groups in Windermere.
It will be a good day when mink control can be left to the otters without humans becoming involved.
Your thread reminded of this that I saw last week
> I came across a group marvelling at an Otter in another location, remarking how cute it was and amazing to see, I think I spoiled their day when I pointed out it was in fact a mink.....
I was convinced I'd seen a young otter for a while the year before last. I was kayaking on the sea around the corner from Arisaig when it emerged from the water, scuttled up onto some rocks and disappeared. As I was sitting there wondering if I'd really seen it a curious little head appeared and it looked right at me as I fumbled my camera out of a pocket and took a rubbish blurry snapshot.
It was someone on here who pointed out that was a mink from the photo. Didn't spoil my day at all, and it was still quite a magical encounter, for all that it's a shame about the 'invasive species' thing and all that. (Besides, it was by far the less destructive of the two invasive species there at the time!)
They are fantastic creatures. I saw one this year too- on the Lune near Tebay. I believe there are otters in the middle of Manchester on the Irwell (there are some bloody big trout in the Irwell in Manchester too).
There is now a huge amount of wildlife in what were once very dirty places; porpoises and seals in the Mersey, kingfishers in the Sefton Park in the middle of Liverpool- and 2 peregrines on the church tower 150m from my house- in the middle of Liverpool. Amazing.
I caught a glimpse of a sea otter whilst windsurfing off tiree.
I believe that peregrines are now more successful nesting in urban areas than in the 'wild'.
Still amazing to see if them.
Loads of urban peregrines - this is a six month old Wiganer.
I live in a place which has a few nice bits of woodland around but which I wouldn't think of as 'countryside' and yet when I was walking along a bridle path a few months ago I saw a very young deer off in the distance in the middle of the path. Never seen one before and wasn't aware there were any around here.
It was almost like one of those cheesy bits of a movie where we both stopped, looked at each other for a few moments and then it just looked away and trotted off into the undergrowth.
It felt like a very special moment.
> I just saw my first ever otter. I've been trying to spot one for years and finally saw one today. Believe it or not it was in Nottingham just outside the city centre right near one of the main roads leading into the city. Absolutely beautiful and has made my week.
Seeing an otter in the wild is one on my bucket list. I've been to a few places where they're supposedly common, but without luck, so have decided to leave it to luck instead rather than making a specific effort. If successful that'll make it even more special
Nearly all of my impressive wildlife sightings have been down to luck. I've spent hours sat with binoculars waiting and never really seen anything impressive.
I used to fish the river Don north of Sheffield a lot and was very surprised one year to see an otter regulary while fly-fishing around Wharncliffe.... I now know that there are quite a few on the river between Oughtibridge and Penistone.... great to see them making a stong comeback
I was given a load of money to spend on otter conservation in 1996. I reasoned that, as they were moving east from their south-west strongholds, it would be good to survey an eastern county, I chose Essex, and then re-survey it 5 years later to see if things had changed. I never got to do the second survey. Uni of Essex did the work for us and confirmed that in 1996 every single river in Essex already had otters. Furthermore, for the first time in decades, otters were reported in Greater London.
They are not coming back, they are already here.
In Inverness I sometimes see them fishing on the River Ness in the city centre. Cracking sight!
I was astonished recently to see one in one of the drainage ditches in the farmland on Milnthorpe Marshes. Disappeared very smartly when it saw me. The water's usually pretty murky there and I can't think there's many fish there.
> Pretty sure there is now far more than one otter on Arthur's Seat. Last year, I saw a family of three of them swimming in Dunsapie Loch.
A friend of mine also reports regular sightings in the canal near Fountainbridge and in the Water of Leith at Leith.
Do you get eels there? They eat them. And it may be the wrong time of year but they're keen on frogs.
> Do you get eels there? They eat them. And it may be the wrong time of year but they're keen on frogs.
I'm not sure, but I think we might. They have lots at Leighton Moss where I think they're vital for the bitterns. Frogs probably on land at this time of year I'd guess.
Out of interest, was that upstream or downstream of the city centre? Do you have a grid reference? It would be interesting to know whether it was downstream of the city's wastewater treatment works.
Having had a second look it was in Totle Brook not the Leen. It was just as it goes under Queens Drive. Not sure of the grid ref but it was upstream from the city centre.
Last week's Westmorland Gazette had a multi-page spread on otters in the R Kent in Kendal, with several readers' pictures. Wonderful! Giving so many people a pleasure boost in these miserable times.
Saw them for the first time this morning! Was just warming down after a run by the river and couldn't believe my luck. Totally made my day.
Parked at Ottermill yesterday. Walked a few miles along the River Otter. Bought an Otter card from the shop afterwards. Read all the otter information boards.
Saw no otters. Gutted.
Interesting. I have always thought the Tottle Brook joined the Leen near QMC, before reaching the river. But Google Maps show it does not. It's very hard to follow. Being underground much of the time, I don't suppose wildlife moves far upstream from the Trent. Perhaps lights should be put in the pipes ?
> I just saw my first ever otter. I've been trying to spot one for years and finally saw one today. Believe it or not it was in Nottingham just outside the city centre right near one of the main roads leading into the city. Absolutely beautiful and has made my week.
Delighted to hear this. I lived local to there - WBridgford and Ruddington - and never saw one. I now live in Newark and haven't heard of any reports/sightings around here.
I've heard that otters are at the rspb reserve near Newark (Langford Lowfields)
Ive been meaning to pay that a visit. Time to get the bins outs me thinks.
> Saw them for the first time this morning! Was just warming down after a run by the river and couldn't believe my luck. Totally made my day.
Whereabouts did you see them?
Either side of Stramongate bridge circa 8am this morning. They seem to be hanging about next to, what I think is, the fish pass next to Gooseholme. Lovely sight.

Boya Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Earphones BY-AP1 Black
Boya's BY-AP1 is a set of wireless earplugs with a charging case. When you want to enjoy crisp, clear music, podcasts or other recordings, the BY-AP1 offers lifelike sound reproduction. Simply remove the earbuds from the wireless charging case and they're ready to connect to your smartphone, Apple Watch or Windows/macOS computer. You'll find the in-ear earbuds sit comfortably in your ear, thanks to their weight of just 5 grams and good fit. Two sizes of ear tips are included so you can choose which one is right for you.
Modern technology BY-AP1
The BY-AP1 contains a Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which ensures a stable connection. The chip uses the protocols HSP, HFP, A2DP and AVRCP. The frequency range is from 20HZ to 20kHZ. In practice, you can enjoy a battery life of up to six hours, so that you can listen for a longer period of time without recharging. The wireless charging case's battery allows you to use the BY-AP1 earphones for up to 22 hours without a nearby power outlet. It takes about one hour to charge the earbuds and wireless case. The charging case can be charged using the supplied USB-C cable.
BY-AP1 in practice
The charging box is small enough to take anywhere. When watching a video, the BY-AP1 has a very short delay. Because of this, voices run completely syncronically. Calling through the BY-AP1 also goes very well, with an extremely reliable quality. By tapping your finger on the outside of the earbuds, you can change the volume and play the next song.
Usage BY-AP1
When you want to listen to a podcast on your iPhone or Android smartphone while on the move in the train or car, enjoy music while running with your Apple Watch or watch videos on your tablet or laptop, the BY-AP1 provides freedom of movement and reliable performance.
What makes the BY-AP1 unique?
Meanwhile, there are many wireless earphones on the market, making it sometimes difficult to choose between different manufacturers and models. Boya developed the BY-AP1 entirely by themselves, which their sound experts have been working on for over a year. An independent test by an expert has shown that the BY-AP1 has good sound and ringing quality and is also very compact. The BY-AP1 comes with a three-year warranty (after registration via the special warranty card included in the package).

|Title: Monica's Innermost Secret
Author: Kyouryoku Senshi
Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me; they belong to their respective owners.
Summary: John, I have a confession…he was more than just my lover. John…Brad is my ex husband.
John was sitting up late in the X-Files office reading over some government sites, and accidentally hit the wrong link and when he moved the cursor to click on back; his eyes came to rest on the small font on the screen.
His mouth dropped open in horror as he skimmed over the small font of the webpage, and without realizing it he kept re-reading it over again until he had it engraved in his head.
"No way…" he trailed off as his cell phone brought him out of his trance like state
Removing his eyes from the screen he took his cell out of his jacket pocket and answered. "John Doggett."
"Hey...it's me."
"Monica?" He asked in confirmation even though he knew the owner of that voice as much as he knew the back of his hand, or so he thought
"Yeah…where are you? I've been trying your house phone but haven't gotten any answer."
"Oh, yeah I'm still wound up in the office…" Doggett trailed off usually he felt comfortable speaking to Monica about anything in his life more than anything but now it was if she'd become a distant stranger within the moments he'd just read her profile
"John, it's eight o' clock at night…"
"Yeah…I've been working on this case report and…"
"Hey, it's alright…anyway, I was just wondering if we could get together tonight…there's something I need to talk to you about…it's important." Monica insisted
"That's fine…I'm leaving in a few minutes anyway…so how about you meet me at my apartment…and order us some pizza or something, you have the key…"
"Alright…I'll see you then." Monica replied before hanging up
John placed his phone back in his pocket and finally removed his eyes away from the laptop computer screen and shut the computer down before he placed it back in his briefcase and turned off everything in the office before leaving.
The font of the words was still stuck in his mind as he left the building wondering what would await them both next.
As Monica headed over to John's she replayed over and over in her mind how she would have to bring this up to John and what his reaction might be, she knew he would be shocked but after that, she wasn't sure what would come up next.
Upon arriving to John's apartment, she had phoned in the pizza and poured each of them a glass of wine that John had in his fridge and placed them on the class coffee table which was in front of the couch.
When she was finished setting up the classes, she took a seat on the couch and glanced at her watch knowing that as every second drew near, was a second closer to having to reveal a secret that she's been in denial of for years to John.
Part of her was so anxious to have John get back so the faster she could get the secret out and over with before the other part decided to flee. And as if on cue, she heard the sound of a key insert in the doorknob on the other side of the door before John stepped in and closed the door behind him.
He was in a daze and didn't seem to notice Monica's presence until he had taken a few steps further into the room and snapped out if his trance like state. "Oh…hey Monica…" John trailed off
Monica sensed the discomfort pass between them both and felt John's insecurity, if she didn't know any better, she'd say he was on to her. Moments passed after John's awkward greeting and to relieve the tension floating between them, Monica spoke.
"I poured us some wine…and the pizza should be here soon…we should talk." She urged
John nodded and reluctantly moved to sit next to Monica. Normally he would take great comfort in her presence…but now it was as if she had become a complete stranger."
As Monica picked up her glass of wine, she handed one to John. "Thanks." Monica merely nodded as she slipped off her heals and tried her best to make herself comfortable. "So…what is it that you wanted to talk about…?" John trailed off as he took in Monica's reluctance "…You can tell me anything, you know that."
Monica took a sip of her wine and swallowed before she began to speak. "Well, John…I hope you will understand my reason's for not bringing this up sooner…because sometimes I still find it hard to accept myself even though it's in the past…" Monica railed off as she watched for Doggett's reaction
Eager and yet afraid of what Monica might tell him he spoke up "Go on…"
"Anyway the reason I wanted to talk to you tonight…is well, uh…John, I have a confession…he was more than just my lover. John…Brad is my ex husband." Monica exhaled glad she was finally able to get this off of her chest
However, John wasn't so relieved; his mouth had fallen open in shock but not surprise. "What!?"
"John, relax it's not a big deal…we're divorced."
"How long have we known each other now, Monica? Five years? And just now you decide to drop this bombshell 'Oh, I forgot to tell you I'm married', so please forgive me if I can do anything but relax!" He said sarcastically
"Was married…past tense, John."
"I don't believe this!"
"No…don't tell me, you have kids now too? What else haven't you told me!?"
Monica shook her head "No, we were only married for six months."
"That's not the point. How do you expect to be in a relationship with someone when you're keeping secrets…I didn't want this to be true." John said a he paced the living room with his head in his hands
"What are you talking about?" Monica asked suspiciously
"Earlier in the office…I had gone online and was going through the government's site when I landed in your profile…it said you were divorced…but I didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to believe that there was a chance that you were hiding something from me…I mean how do I know that you're not hiding anything else?" John sighed before he finally decided to move back over next to Monica and took a seat with his head in his hands
Monica watched him and placed her hand on his back, waiting for John to ask the question she'd been expecting him to ask.
"Why didn't you tell me?" John finally asked as he turned to look at Monica next to him
Sensing his change in attitude, his calmer state of mind…Monica spoke.
"I've been in denial John, even I didn't want to accept that I was married to him, but I have to face facts…accept it and move forward with my life. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner John, and I can understand what you're going through right now…and I don't blame you, but please understand that this wasn't easy for me either." Monica said calmly
John only nodded "But how do I know you're not hiding anything else?" he smirked
Monica smiled "Trust me when I say that I'm not…It's hard for me to keep too much from you John, believe me."
A knock on the door brought them out of their conversation as John stood up on the way towards the door and turned to Monica before opening the door. "It's on me." He smiled before he opened the door and paid the pizza man and thanked him before he left
He came back next to Monica and set the pizza near their wine "Pepperoni and cheese…just the way I like it…what would I do without you Monica?" he joked
"Probably not much." Monica teased
As they helped themselves to the pizza John began to speak "So…tell me, were you happy…in your marriage, even if it was short…was Brad actually not an imbecile?"
Monica hesitated "Well…yeah at first. We shared a passionate relationship…until he had started revealing his true colors."
"What do you mean?"
"You know Brad…he's full of himself. He doesn't know what love is, and probably never will. As you can tell, he's jealous when I'm around any other men besides him. I mean, I couldn't even go out with friends without Brad thinking I was cheating on him."
"From there, the relationship started to go downhill, I couldn't handle it anymore…and I divorced him…and you can tell he's still jealous. Even now, he always tries to come back for more, but I think he's starting to get the hint" Monica continued
"Good, because he doesn't deserve you…anyway, do you ever wonder what might have been if you had stayed with him, how things might have been different?" Doggett asked
"I'd be lying if I told you I walked out that day and never looked back. So yeah I've thought about it some, but the more time I've spent thinking about it, the more I've also come to realize that it wasn't meant to be. Brad and I are two different people, John."
Monica moved closer to John "So, I don't regret my divorce and I'm not looking back…because I'm here now, and was able to meet you." She said as she took his free hand into her own
"Hopefully it'll work out this time around." John smiled
"I will John…I know it will." She smiled
"Cheers, Monica...welcome to the club of the divorced." John said as he raised his glass of wine next to Monica's
Monica laughed "Cheers, John…may we find happiness in one another."

Hi. We are busy transitioning to a new phase so for now there will be no online orders. I will keep you updated.
August 15, 2018
An exhausting but mentally beneficial 4 day trip.
We left Nelson and stopped just outside town to eat our lunch. Can't beat these views.
We set up that afternoon, all prepared for 3 days of indoor trade at the Stadium 2000. Nice to be indoors for a change, especially as it rained all Sunday.
We had joined forces with Kaikoura Cheese and Stephens Onions so had one long row instead of being in cubicles. Kyle rigged up our slicer, we hung our biltong and the show was on. We were there to promote our new Subscription Boxes and Fresh is Best.
Kyle sliced and bagged and I sold and chatted away. I love meeting all these interesting people with different stories. Especially the ones of how the biltong they usually eat is so different to ours. Yes, its wrong. Dry, chewy, tasteless. Biltong should be fresh, tender, and very tasty.
Also got to hang out with so many of our fellow stallholders that we knew and make new friends that I know we will bump into along the line. One of the things I love about markets and fairs. Such an amazing community of like minded people. And some weirdos. But I love them too.
As its still too cold to throw the mattress in the back of the van and camp, we booked into an Air BnB house and what an unexpected gem it was. 10 minutes drive out of the Blenheim CBD, we were met with a beautiful room, feather pillows and duvet, robes for the jacuzzi and a fresh loaf of bread for breakfast every morning. And this time around, I was well prepared. I had precooked all our meals to just heat up. No more driving around a town you are unfamiliar with, wanting something decent to eat thats not going to cost a fortune, or getting upset tummies as it wasn't that well prepared or had gluten in it when they said it didn't.
Our menu came from my home meals cooked weeks before. Vietnamese pork and rice, Lamb shanks and chicken with the lamb shank gravy with mashed potatoes; Cinnamon and kumara chicken stew with mash. Went down well after a jacuzzi and some red wine.
After Sunday we were so tired and the weather was so bad. Not wanting to make our daughters orphans we decided to stay another night and just relax. Was a good call. Came back re-energised and ready for more production and to get ready for our Hamner trip.
We will be back.

|* Expert evidence guidance AMDC v AG [2020] EWCOP 58 — The court was critical of the jointly-instructed psychiatric reports in this case and provided detailed guidance on how experts' reports on capacity can best assist the court.

|* Ex turpi causa Henderson v Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust [2020] UKSC 43 — The respondent admitted negligently failing to return the appellant to hospital on the basis of her manifest psychotic state, which led to her stabbing her mother to death. The Supreme Court held that the previous case of Gray v Thames Trains Ltd [2009] UKHL 33M could not be distinguished, and should not be departed from, and that therefore the claim was barred by the doctrine of ex turpi causa non oritur actio (illegality).
|2020‑11‑09 12:05:39
|* Inherent jurisdiction - dispensing with service A Local Authority v B [2020] EWHC 2741 (Fam) — It was proper to dispense with service of proceedings on B's father in relation to inherent jurisdiction proceedings seeking a declaration authorising the deprivation of B's liberty at a community therapeutic placement following discharge from section 2 detention in hospital.

|* Inherent jurisdiction and DOL Lancashire County Council v G [2020] EWHC 2828 (Fam) — A 16-year-old girl was inappropriately placed on an adult mental health ward, there was no secure placement or regulated non-secure placement was available in the UK, the only placement was an unregulated placement that was not prepared to apply to OFSTED for registration, and the alternative was discharge with nowhere to go and a very high risk of fatal self-harm. The judge authorised deprivation of liberty at the unauthorised placement but noted grave reservations about whether the court was really exercising its welfare jurisdiction or simply being forced by mere circumstance to make an order irrespective of welfare considerations. The judge directed the judgment be sent to the Children's Commissioner for England, the Secretary of State for Education, the Chair of the Residential Care Leadership Board, the Minister for Children, the Chief Social Worker, OFSTED and SWCU.

|* Inherent jurisdiction Mazhar v Birmingham Community Healthcare Foundation NHS Trust [2020] EWCA Civ 1377 — Mr Mazhar was removed from his home to hospital without warning by police and paramedics in the middle of the night under the High Court's inherent jurisdiction on the basis of an out-of-hours application. (1) The Trust's application for, and the granting of, the order for which there was no proper evidence and without giving Mr Mazhar the opportunity to be heard amounted to a clear breach of his Article 6 rights and was a flagrant denial of justice. (2) It was unnecessary to decide whether the inherent jurisdiction extends to the making of an order that has the effect of depriving a vulnerable adult of liberty provided the provisions of Article 5 are met. (3) The President of Family Division was invited to consider whether fresh guidance should be given to practitioners and judges about applications of this sort, and the court set out a list of seven clear lessons to be learnt.
|2020‑10‑29 21:49:16
|* Deprivation of liberty during conditional discharge Birmingham City Council v SR [2019] EWCOP 28 — (1) Both patients supported but lacked capacity in relation to the proposed care plans, which involved deprivation of liberty concurrently with a conditional discharge, and those plans were in their best interests. (2) Obiter, the division in the MOJ's post-MM guidance (MCA DOL for incapacitous patients whose risk is to themselves, but MHA s17 leave for incapacitous patients whose risk is to others and for capacitous patients) did not withstand scrutiny as it is in patients' best interests to be kept "out of mischief" and therefore out of psychiatric hospital.

|* Conditional discharge and DOL MC v Cygnet Behavioural Health Ltd [2020] UKUT 230 (AAC) — (1) Although, following MM, the First-tier Tribunal has no power to impose conditions which would amount to a deprivation of liberty, it does have the power to coordinate its decision with the provision of an authorisation under the MCA, either by "the different hats approach" (the same judge sitting in the COP and the FTT) or "the ducks in a row approach" (adjournment or deferred conditional discharge). (2) This involves no Article 14 discrimination in favour of incapacitous restricted patients as, under SSJ guidance, the equivalent outcome can be reached for capacitous patients by using s17 leave. (3) The FTT had misunderstood the MM decision and had been wrong to refuse to defer conditional discharge for a standard authorisation to be put in place. (4) The UT discharged the patient subject to conditions of residence, supervision and compliance with "all aspects of the care package" (surprisingly, as the care package would amount to a deprivation of liberty), with permission to apply to the FTT for variation on a material change in circumstances (surprisingly, as the MHA sets out when an application may be made).

- Upper Tribunal case summary document (January 2016) — This is a document issued to tribunal judges as guidance. The summary of PJ v A Local Health Board [2015] UKUT 480 (AAC), [2015] MHLO 63 (in relation to the tribunal's role when faced with an ECHR breach) effectively rephrases as correct the position found to be unlawful by the Upper Tribunal (whose decision has since been overturned on appeal).
