Common Lands cover 1,166,781 hectares (ha) of Great Britain. The types and legal status of commons vary in different countries.
Common Grazings
In Scotland there are no central registers of common land. However the extent and distribution of land where there are multiple grazing rights or multiple graziers can be deduced from agricultural returns (Integrated Administration and Control System [IACS] forms). Analysis of such returns in 2009 showed such grazings extended to 591,901ha of Scotland - 7% of its land area, and 15% of its rough pasture. This land is administered under Scottish law which permits most common grazings to be self-regulated.
Scottish common grazings are heavily concentrated on areas with crofting agriculture, found especially along the Atlantic fringes. Common grazing is widespread in Shetland, almost all of the Outer Hebrides, Tiree, Skye and Raasay, and on the coastal mainland from Lochalsh to the Kyles of Sutherland. These areas are geographically-marginal and socially vulnerable, and most are in parishes designated as fragile by Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
The area of land with rights other than grazing (eg turbary and estovers) is unknown.
Registered Commons
In England and Wales, with few exceptions all common land and common rights had to be registered in accordance with the Commons Registration Act, 1965. At the end of the registration period, only that land which was registered can be deemed to be common land, and similarly only those rights which were registered can be exercised. These documents, held by local authorities, are conclusive.
In Wales commons cover 173,366 ha, a little over 8% of the total land area. They are found in all parts of the country but there are marked differences between their distribution by number and by area. Over half of the Welsh commons are under 5ha, although together they comprise just 1% of the total common land area. There are 1615 separately registered common land units, and some regions have large numbers of small commons. For example, Pembrokeshire has 280 commons (17% of the total), although these cover just 5,861ha (less than 3% of the common land area of Wales). Most commons are located in the uplands. Large numbers which appear as clusters along the St David's peninsular, in the Ruabon-Llantysilio mountains of Denbighshire and in the Clwydian Range, often abut each other, and may be managed as integrated units.
When examined by are, the commons of Wales have a highly uneven distribution. The three authority areas of Powys alone comprise 74,653ha, nearly 40% of all the common land in Wales. Brecknock alone has nearly 47,000ha, over 25% of Welsh common land. Other large areas lie in Gwynedd, with 20,692ha (11% of the Welsh total), and Carmarthenshire with 15,358ha (8%). Just 42 sites of over 1000ha make up half of the Welsh common land. The largest registered unit is the Black Mountains of Dyfed, covering 7,500ha. However many separately registered units form contiguous blocks. Twelve such clusters of units cover 91,000ha of common land, with a single block of 24,000ha in the case of the Brecon Beacons.
The Welsh Commons include large areas of grassland, heath, and bracken. There are blanket bogs at Elenydd, Migneint, and Berwyn; raised bog at Cors Fochno near Borth, dunes at Aberffraw in Anglesey, and dry heath in north west Pembrokeshire.
In England there are 372,941ha of registered common land, covering just 3% of the land area. These comprise 7,052 separately registered units. Like Wales, they are found in all areas, and even within towns and cities, but have a very uneven distribution. Half of all the English common land units are under 1ha in size, but these total only 0.3% of the area. The overall picture is that the southern lowlands have large numbers of very small commons, whereas the northern and western uplands have fewer but large sites. Some 35% of all English Common Land is in the North-west Region, with extensive areas in the Lake District. The three northern regions together with the south-west, together account for over 87% of common land by area. In contrast, the East Midlands Region has only 0.3% of the total. Just 89 commons, jointly cover 192,000ha, over 52% of the English common land area. The largest single registered unit is the Forest of Dartmoor at 11,284ha. Again, many commons are contiguous, and managed as larger integrated systems than the registers can imply. The data on area contrast radically with distributions concerning the number of registered commons. For example, the South-east, which has only 6% of common land by area, has 22% of the total number, more than any other region.
Unregistered Commons (exempted from registration under the 1965 Act)
Certain areas, mainly in England, were exempted from registration under the 1965 Act. These included the New Forest, comprising 21,995ha of common land, Epping Forest, at 2,458ha, and certain small areas totaling 1.020ha exempted by Order. The 1965 Act was deemed not to apply to the Forest of Dean (even though commonable grazing has persisted there for centuries) and hence the extent of rights there has never been tested legally. Acts of Parliament allow forestry enclosures of up to 4,400ha in the Dean, therefore always leaving at least 3,100ha, which, whilst not fixed in location, indicate the minimum area available for grazing.

The Iranian and P5+1 (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, plus Germany) negotiators in Vienna seem to be on the brink of reaching an agreement to significantly limit Iran's nuclear program and place it under strict international monitoring. But what if they fail to bridge their differences in the final hours? Or what if the U.S. Congress scuttles a deal down the road—a less likely but still worrying outcome? Indeed, with the principle that "no deal is better than a bad deal" likely to dominate any congressional debate, it is a good moment to examine what the Middle East might look like without a nuclear deal.
Failure to reach or approve a deal would likely produce one or more of the following: an expanded Iranian nuclear program; an erosion of broad international sanctions without any benefit to regional and global security; heightened potential for military conflict; and the loss of opportunities to work on major areas of common concern to Iran and the United States.
To be sure, there are risks associated with a deal as well, including the possibility that Iran will fail to implement the agreement, resume a nuclear program once the nuclear agreement expires, or covertly continue elements of its program beyond the surveillance of the international community. There have been countless assessments of all the things that could go wrong; that's why negotiators in Vienna are working "don't trust and verify" measures into any conceivable final deal. But debates about any such agreement must include assessments of the risks of having no deal at all.
The first and most dangerous scenario is that Tehran could break out of the interim nuclear agreement, the Joint Plan of Action, which has essentially frozen Iran's nuclear program for nearly two years. With no promise of lasting and more significant sanctions relief, Iran may decide to resume its nuclear enrichment program at levels that reduce the time it would need to

The reality that you were not created with long curled lashes does not mean that you are not able to love their superb hot effect. You just have to resort to mink eyelashes. They have existed for almost 100 years and they are widely used in the style and film sectors. Now they are more readily accessible than in the past. You only need to figure out to be able to get the very best beauty results, the best way to pick the right pair. Here is some vital guidance that will help you with this.
Think about the contour of your eyes
The slender and long mink eyelashes which fan upwards are perfect for girls with round eyes. The voluminous models ought to be avoided as they might make the eyes seem overly large. You need to consider models with medium to long distance particularly in the middle in the event you have hooded eyes using a fold of skin covering the socket lines. This type of fashion styles to open the eyes up and to make them seem larger.
The almond shaped eyes are the most frequently discovered. You are really blessed since all forms of false lashes will appear fantastic on you, in the event that you have got this eye contour. You ought to consider models that are longer on the ends and particularly on the outside end, in the event you would like to create a more striking effect. Usually, it is recommended to test for you. The eyes that are Monolid do not have any observable fold in the outlet line. They have one eyelid space that is constant and this makes them quite particular. Particularly the ones that are more on the outside end and the curled versions are consistently a fantastic option.
Pay attention to the setting of your eyes also
In the event the distance between your eyes is smaller than your eye width, then you have close set eyes. In this scenario, you would wish to buy mink lashes which are longer and thicker on the outer edge. The point would be to give more volume to the outer edge so the eyes look farther apart. When you have close set eyes, you ought to make an effort to make them appear nearer together. This really is realized with false lashes which are more in the center and that have large quantity. You ought to avoid experimenting with other versions.

Interactive Interview/Session: Managing Travel Expenses
Course Name: Management Information System Submission Date: February 05, 2010
QUES 1: What kinds of systems are described here? What valuable information do they provide for employees and managers? What decisions do they support? Answer: Firstly, Transaction Processing Systems are in place. The system is seen as keeping track of elementary activities and transaction such as inputting of the expense data via a web interface from whether they are working with a computer, telephone, and palm handled device .In tracking, the system is seen to automatically import travel and expense data from credit cards. Secondly, there is also Human Resource System which is seen to capture number of employees, positions and spell out their job requirements. Furthermore, there is the Enterprise System which seeks to automate the entire system to work to work together, thus executing the business process across different levels to achieve managerial efficiency and customer satisfaction. Finally, Executive Support System is also seen in place where with just the click of the mouse, reports approved boosting accuracy and productivity. From the above, Transaction Process System spells out rules for the staff to comply with as well as creating a maximum amount for airfare, hotel rooms and meals. It tracks vendors as well as how expenses are run. On the part of managements, the Transaction Process Systems helps in monitoring of expenditure. Management through the help of the Enterprise system gets a feed back on activities as well as return on investment. It also assists in making preferences as regarding vendor services.
QUES 2: What problems do automated expense reporting systems solve for companies? How do they provide value for companies that use them?...

Muscle building requires constant exercise for the entire body due to each muscle group helping the rest build strength. Muscle groups thus need to be isolated and worked individually. Here we have supplied ten muscle building exercises which will be a great help to your training. Each muscle building exercise is optimal for muscle growth, thus granting you rapid results.[wp_ad_camp_1]
1. Weighted Dips
Weighted dips are great for muscle building of your chest and triceps. Working both muscles, weighted dips need you to dip more than your own body weight to be effective. Ensure that you place an overload of weight on yourself when performing a weighted dip. Start with something comfortable, upping your weight gradually. Increase the weight until you are dipping more than your own weight. To speed up muscle building results try a 31 day testosterone boosting plan that will give you the bulk you're seeking in no time.

VINCENT, LOUELLA STYLES (1853–1924). Louella Vincent, author and composer, daughter of Carey Wentworth and Fannie Jean (Evans) Styles, was born Louisa Gabriella Styles on September 5, 1853, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Her father founded the Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution. Louisa combined her given names to form the name Louella. She studied music and literature at Andrew Female Academy in Cuthbert, Georgia, and Augusta Female Seminary in Staunton, Virginia, before marrying James Upshur Vincent, a teacher, attorney, and journalist, on September 28, 1875. The Vincents lived in Canton and later Brunswick, Georgia, before moving in 1881 to Texas, where Carey Styles had accepted a position with the Galveston News.
The Vincents and their two sons lived in Galveston, Jonesboro, and Glen Rose before settling in Meridian in 1886. There Louella and James established a private academy; he served as principal, and she taught music. In 1890 the family moved to Stephenville and shared a house with Louella's parents. James became owner and manager of the Stephenville Empire, and Louella gave private lessons in vocal and instrumental music. She wrote music and poetry and established a United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter named for her elder son, who had died in 1886. With her mother, she became a charter member of the Twentieth Century Club in 1901; the two women made their interest in poetry and southern literature the emphasis of the club's programs.
Although they were never divorced, Louella and James had separated by the late 1890s, and Louella tried to turn a profit from writing and lecturing in order to ease her financial position. She published poems in regional magazines, tried unsuccessfully to find a publisher for a comic opera she had written, and with her son, Upshur, as her manager, lectured on the Chautauqua circuit in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and Colorado. In 1905 she fulfilled a lifetime dream by founding and editing The Southerner, "Louella Styles Vincent's magazine of the South," a literary journal to which she and her mother were the heaviest contributors. Upshur Vincent published The Southerner from his printing house in Strawn and served as his mother's business manager; the magazine went through only four issues before the breakdown of Louella's health and Upshur's finances resulted in its demise.
Mrs. Vincent moved to Dallas late in 1905 and in July 1908 began publication of The Dallas Clubwoman, a weekly chronicle of society and church activities. She followed it with the short-lived Texas Clubwoman in 1909; both magazines served as showcases for her poetry. When her son became editor and publisher of the Dallas Jeffersonian in 1909, her verses were displayed prominently as one of the paper's regular features. She published "My Lowlier Lot" in the Texas Review in 1921 and submitted "Sonnets of Our City, Dallas" to the Poetry Society of England.
Louella Vincent was a charter member of the Dallas Women's Forum and the Texas Congress of Mothers, served two years as state secretary of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and held memberships in thePoetry Society of Texas and the Poetry Society of England. She died on April 25, 1924, at her son's home in Fort Worth, leaving three volumes of poetry, fifty musical compositions (half a dozen of which had been published), and five volumes of partially edited prose. She was buried in Meridian Cemetery.

The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is proud to announce its 2018-19 participant in the annual Female Apprentice Coach Program for the sport of Basketball.
Medicine Hat Rattlers, ACAC
Apprentice: Courtney Henry
Mentor: Clayton Nielsen
In the middle of her first year with the Medicine Hat Rattlers Women's Basketball team, Courtney Henry suffered a season-ending injury and was forced to watch from the sidelines.
Although it was a difficult experience for her, it gave Henry a new perspective of the game as she was able to see things from the sidelines that she was unable to see while playing.
"I found that rather than being able to contribute on the floor, my new role was to talk to my teammates and lead by being motivating, encouraging and being someone that they could talk to about the game," she said.
Henry will once again return to the sidelines at Medicine Hat this season – this time as a CCAA apprentice. She'll be mentored by her former head coach, Clayton Nielsen.
"There are many good, young female basketball players here in Medicine Hat and I feel Courtney will be a role model for them," he said.
Nielsen is entering his third season at the helm of the Rattlers and is excited to take a CCAA apprentice under his wing. Henry has already dabbled into coaching, helping teach fundaments to youth at Rattlers Basketball Camps.
"I feel she will be a huge addition to our team," he said. "I am confident that I will be able to help her in her journey to improve as a coach and provide her with the tools that will be beneficial for her to run her own program one day."
In each of her three seasons at Medicine Hat, Henry was a captain and someone her teammates could confide in and trust. It's a role she took pride in.
"These interpersonal skills I have acquired as a captain will only grow as I continue to develop rapport and relationships with the team," she said.
It was just last March that Henry exhausted her eligibility with the Rattlers, leading the team to their first appearance at CCAA National in a decade. And just recently, Henry was named a recipient of the 2017-18 CCAA National Scholar Award.
Now, she's ready for yet another wonderful opportunity to learn and grow as she transitions from player to coach.
"I believe that this is an amazing stepping stone for me to move towards becoming a middle school or high school coach in the future," said Henry.

Wednesday, Sept. 12: CCAA Soccer
Wednesday, Sept. 19: CCAA Cross-Country Running

HGTV's Fixer Upper is such a hit because of its friendly hosts, Chip and Joanna Gaines. The sweet couple seem solid and relatable, making it extra fun to watch them take on home-improvement projects. That's why it's particularly shocking to imagine Gaines as the cold-blooded hustler that his ex-partners at Magnolia Realty paint him to be in a new lawsuit.
Yesterday, John L. Lewis and Richard L. Clark filed suit against Gaines and HGTV, alleging that he bought them out of Magnolia without disclosing that the company was about to be featured on television. They are seeking $1,000,000 in damages.
A day after news of the suit broke, Gaines tweeted a plaintive Bible verse. The line appears in John 1:5.
Gaines' attorney Jordan Mayfield released a statement to People: "We are confident that these claims will be found to be meritless," he said. "And it is disappointing to see people try to take advantage of the hard work and success of Chip and Joanna Gaines."
Execs at HGTV also issued a message, saying "We respect the privacy of our show hosts and will not comment on matters related to their personal lives or businesses."

Two incidents kept local emergency crews busy on Friday.
About 10 a.m., a fire alarm triggered an evacuation at Cortez-Montezuma High School. More than 600 students and all staff were safely evacuated outside, said Principal Jason Wayman.
The alarm was triggered by smoke from a cooking class, he said, and there were no injuries or fire. The students returned to class after about 10 minutes.
"We were actually planning a fire drill for later today, so staff and students were able to go through our procedures with a live incident," Wayman said. "It went smoothly."
Fire crews from the Cortez Fire Protection District responded to the incident and determined there was no threat.
Later in the day, about 2 p.m. Montezuma County Sheriff deputies deployed spike strips on Colorado Highway 184 Friday afternoon to stop a northbound vehicle driven by a man reported to have threatened suicide and had a firearm, reported Montezuma County Sheriff Steve Nowlin.
A concerned relative alerted law enforcement to the situation and described the vehicle and direction of travel, he said.
When the man approached sheriff deputies and spike strips set up near Road 30, he stopped and met with officers, Nowlin said.
"He volunteered to be taken to Southwest Memorial Hospital for evaluation," he said. "Mental health services from Axis Health System are being provided for this individual."
Traffic in both directions of the highway was delayed temporarily.

Previous ideas were 'misconceptions'!
No matter how smart you think you are, the chances are that you sometimes fail to make the most of your memory. A series of surveys have shown most students fail to use proven methods of learning effectively, instead wasting their time on ineffective methods. One of the problems is that we often receive a lot of conflicting information from parents, teachers, and scientists, so that we are unsure what works and what doesn't. Fortunately, a new paper, published in one of the top psychology journals, has examined the biggest misconceptions, with a list of the five most popular study strategies, the potential pitfalls, and the ways that they can use them more effectively.
Read at hourly, daily, or weekly intervals.
Learning new vocabulary? The most common strategy is to read the words and their meanings until they stick. Unfortunately, psychologists believe that it is too passive, meaning that most of the information fails to leave an impression. Passive rereading is probably the least effective study method, but it may sometimes feel inevitable if you feel like you lack a basic understanding of the concepts. You can make better use of those sessions, however, by ensuring that you return to the material at regular intervals. You might read a chapter, move on to something else, and then re-read it after an hour, a day, or a week to help stimulate the memory. You can also benefit from questioning your understanding before you return to the material, which helps tune your attention on the bits you do and don't know and increases your mental engagement.
It's not enough to highlight everything without thinking!
Like rereading, this study technique is nearly ubiquitous. The idea makes sense: the process of underlining key words and phrases should help you to engage more with the information, and it makes it easier to identify the most important passages later on. But although it can be more effective than passive rereading, underlining and highlighting often fails to work, with most students mindlessly marking up almost every paragraph without much discernment. Instead, the scientists suggest that you read the text once through cold, and then mark up the relevant passages on the second pass. By forcing you to think more carefully about each point and its relative importance in the overall argument, this encourages the more active processing that is essential for the formation of stronger memories.
Choose your words carefully!
Visit any lecture theatre or library and you will find students judiciously copying the most important facts into their notebooks. Like underlining and highlighting, the problems come when you fail to be judicious about the material you are including. Your overenthusiasm – and propensity to include everything that is mentioned – can easily become a vice. Experiments have shown that the fewer words students use to express an idea in their notes, the more likely they are to remember it afterwards. This is probably because creating summaries and paraphrasing force you to think deeply about the nub of the idea you are trying to express – and that additional effort cements it in your memory. These findings may also explain why it is better to take notes with a pen and paper, rather than using a laptop: writing by hand is slower than typing and forces you to be more concise in what you note down.
Many teachers encourage their students to take a 'bird's eye' view of the course they are studying, presenting an overview of the key points to be learned in a structured, logical manner. Sometimes these outlines are created by the instructor themselves, but they may also encourage the student to do it for themselves. Students offered a course outline do tend to perform better, new evidence suggests, since it allows them to identify the underlying connections between different topics. These studies suggest that it's often more efficient to begin with a skeletal outline before study, and to then fill in more of the details as you progress. Much of our learning is independent, of course, without formal instruction – but you can easily make your own bullet-point outlines of a text or lecture. Again, being concise is key: you have to focus on the structure of the argument rather than getting lost in the details, if you are to see those underlying connections and make the most of that deeper learning.
Remembering once doesn't mean remembering forever!
Self-testing (or "retrieval practice", as psychologists call it) is now considered to be most reliable learning strategy, particularly for specific, detailed facts, with considerable evidence that it can boost memory. Even so, there are still more and less effective ways of doing it. Most people struggle to gauge the limits of their own thinking, believing that their decisions are smarter than they really are – and judgments of learning are no different. Indeed, one study found that the more confident people felt about their learning of a fact, the less likely they were to recall it later. We all underestimate just how easily we will forget material in the future. The use of flash cards can therefore backfire if you believe that once an item is successfully recalled, it will stick forever – leading you to 'drop' the card before it is cemented in your memory. Instead, it makes more sense to continue testing long after you think you know the word.

Up to 15 gardai had to physically remove woman from Criminal Courts of Justice after judge told her to leave
UP to 15 gardai had to physically remove a woman from the Criminal Courts of Justice when she caused a disturbance after being told to leave by a judge.
The woman began shouting and resisting attempts by officers to escort her out of the building's main hall in the middle of the day.
She was then arrested, put in a patrol van and driven away.
The incident unfolded while a sitting of Dublin District Court was taking place in recent days.
At around midday, the woman began to talk and mutter loudly while the court was in session before presiding judge Michael Walsh.
She had been sitting in the public gallery with a number of bags of belongings since the courtroom opened and and began to speak loudly as the day progressed.
No case involving her had been called at that point.
Judge Walsh asked for silence before gardai present tried to escort the woman out.
She refused to stand up or leave her seat and began to shout as two to three gardai lifted her up and brought her out into the hall.
While there, she continued to shout and resisted attempts to move her on. Eventually, assistance was called for and a large number of gardai, many of whom were wearing stab-proof vests, lifted and walked the woman to the front door of the complex on Parkgate Street.

Opera 10 Beta Released
- Author
- Date
- Thu 4 Jun 2009 at 8:49
Opera Software have yesterday released Opera 10 Beta (external link), a preview of the next version of the Opera web browser. For the average consumer, this beta release includes a redesigned interface (by the infamous designer Jon Hicks), built-in Opera Turbo support, the ability to compose rich-HTML emails (in Opera Mail), inline spell checking, and auto updates. They have also introduced a visual tab display that can be accessed by pulling down the adjustable bar beneath the tabs. You can find complete changelogs on Opera's documentation website: Windows (external link), Mac OS X (external link), Linux (external link). Below are some screenshots of Opera 10's newly skinned interface:
Overall, I think Opera 10 Beta is a nice improvement. The new interface is refreshing, although I still do not quite fancy it entirely.
What is more interesting, at least for readers here at Lowter, are the new web technologies and web-developer improvements in Opera 10:
- Opera Dragonfly Alpha 3, their web-developer toolset, enables developers to edit the DOM directly and adds a new Network tab that allows developers to monitor HTTP requests (great for AJAX programming).
- Passes the Acid3 web-standards test, as did the alpha versions.
- CSS3 Web Fonts
- Various HTML 5 specifications
The new alpha version of Opera Dragonfly is more useful on the whole, but I still find it lacking in comparison to Firefox's Firebug extension. Particularly, I find the JavaScript debugging tools to need a lot of work. However, since Opera Dragonfly is still an alpha product, I imagine many more improvements are headed our way.
The most interesting under-the-hood improvement is the support of Web Fonts (external link), a module of CSS3. Essentially, Web Fonts enable you to attach a font-family file through CSS, which the browser will then use to render text. This ability allows designers to use fonts that the user does not have installed locally on their own computer, solving the cumbersome problem of only being able to use the few fonts available (almost) universally. Verdana anyone? Web Fonts will lead to a much richer user experience, once the standard is adopted across more web browsers.
I plan this weekend to play around with Web Fonts, so look for a blog entry next week about my tinkering. Until then, Opera has a cool demo page (external link) that you can view in Opera 10 Beta to see Web Fonts in action for yourself.
As with every Opera release, there is support for new web technologies, a refined interface, and more customisation options. I recommend that you give Opera 10 Beta (external link) a spin, if only at least to check that your websites render and behave properly. The beta version is still a bit quirky at the moment, so I would not yet switch to Opera 10 Beta for one's daily web browser, but Opera 9.6 is still available too!
I've been using the Opera 10 weeklies for my daily browsing for quite a while now.
I love how you can also use things like SVG fonts in addition to the more regular font formats.

13/365: Penggantung Berjepit
Apakah suka bingung ketika melihat kain lap di rumah tidak bisa digantung karena tali penggantungnya putus atau memang tidak ada talinya? Mungkin tips DIY ini yang kamu perlukan untuk memudahkan hidupmu...
Dengan menggunakan barang-barang disekitarmu, maka kita bisa menciptakan penggantung berjepit. Barang yang dibutuhkan adalah:
I'm trying to organize my pattern collection. This few years I had collected some patterns such us barbie dresses, baby dresses, and crochet pattern. I used clear plastic document holder to put my patterns. All the patterns put up together using a binder.
Since I don't have to many threads, this is how I organized my threads collection. I put the threads in small boxes. I once tried to put the colour in order but it always mix again since I'm not the only one using it.
I also read about how to organized your sewing stuff in Household Management 101 on Facebook. I would like to share a little bit about how I organized my sewing kits.
In my house, most of us know how to used a sewing machine and able to used it for simple stuffs. We also know how hand sewing button and others. But I might be the one using more of this sewing kits. So I like my things to be organised. I used plastic portable shelves with three-drawers.
In top drawer, I put my scissors, measuring tape, chalk, fabric pencils, and pliers. Meanwhile in the middle drawer I put all threads, needles and seam ripper. And in the last drawer I put elastic band, ribbons, bias tape, button, velcro and lace.
I choose the portable shelves so I can move it where ever I like :)
Yesterday I read about how to solve a pile of shoes problem in Household Management 101 on Facebook. It makes me want to share how to solve the same problem in my home. There are 10 people who lived in my home. One is baby so she has no shoes at the moment and one is babysitter (she only have 1 pair of shoes). So there are 8 of us that always put shoes near the front door. Sometimes it cause a pile of shoes by the door.
To solve the problem we make a shoe racks under the stairs. But we are to lazy to put it there. So we decided to put one shoe rack by the front door. So when we arrive we can put the shoes in it. Of course all of us have more than I pair. I even have more than six pairs. First of all we decided which shoes will be used frequently and which one is used less. The shoes used frequently will have space at the shoe rack by the door and the rest will be put in the shoe rack under the stairs. Besides shoes, we also spare some space to put shoes equipments such cleaning rags, shoe polish and other stuffs.
We design unused space on the top of the shoe rack to put our bicycle helmets.
Hope it can help to give an idea to solve the problem.
Today I clean up about 30 jam jars. It will used as a glass tomorrow when my college friends and I get together for taking pictures in my campus. This is one way I can think of to avoid using plastic cup.
I soak the bottles and caps whole night with dish soap in big bucket to release all the stickers/labels. And then I wash it today. I collect this bottles for about 10 years. Usually I used it for spices and keep other things in refrigerator such as simple sugar syrup.
One way to keep this world green or at least I'm not feeling guilty because of using plastic cups :)
Since we don't have any kitchen assistant anymore, my sister and I have to back to the kitchen to prepare foods. So we decided to clean up the kitchen to fit to our need.
One of things I do is labelling the spices jars. I design the label, print it on sticker paper and put it to the jars. Now everybody knows which spices they need. For the spices jars I used clean jam jars. I choose the same size & shape jars and the same lids except for sugar and salt jars. Mmmmhhh...It seems a little bit OCD, but I love to see it :) I also put clean 5 ml medicine spoons to spices that usually use teaspoon as measurement such as fennel seeds, coriander seeds, salt and others.
Did you know what you can do with your empty candy container? I am using it to put my safety pins and straight pins. I used the red and white one for bring plenty of safety pins and straight pins if I have wedding party. Sometimes I need plenty of pins to put up my hijab and others. Meanwhile the small white canister I used to put some safety pins and straight pins for daily use and I put it with my makeup case. So don't threw out your candy container.
Do you ever wonder what you can do with this spoons after you done consume the medicine? Well...let me share one thing you can do with the spoons. You can used it as measurement spoon. This spoon equal to tea spoon in all the recipes. Wash it clean and put this spoon inside your salt container or sugar container or other spices containers and make your life easier :)
When I start my granny square project, I have problem with tangled up yarns. So I think of something to solve the problem. At first I used a straw and cut it into 1 cm long and attach it to the box with sellotape and pass the yarn through it. But it didn't work properly. The sellotape not be able to hold the short straw in place. After some thinking I decided to use some wire. I make a loop and attach it to box (between cardboard and outside wrapping and pass the yarn through it. I make some more loops and it work wonderfully. And now I'm happy doing my project :)

Written By: Charles Isherwood
The sound of the ocean lapping at the shore recurs throughout Elizabeth Lucas's gently luminous staging of Adam Guettel's "Myths and Hymns," being presented at the West End Theater at the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew. The haunting murmur of waves tugging at the sand reflects the unquiet mind of the central character in Ms. Lucas's dramatization of Mr. Guettel's song cycle, an elderly woman who has lost the power of speech but is caught in the grip of past sorrows.
Mr. Guettel's elegiac work, first performed under the title "Saturn Returns" and seen only briefly in concert in New York in 1998, was not originally fashioned as a book musical. As the original title indicates, it's a musically eclectic collection of songs that alternates between adaptations of 19th-century hymns and classic myths with contemporary lyrics supplied (mostly) by Mr. Guettel (best known for his Broadway musical "The Light in the Piazza"). Ms. Lucas has shown judicious taste in supplying only minimal dialogue for the new version: the songs remain the focus of the show, expertly performed by a five-member band in spare orchestrations by Bruce Coughlin and Robert Meffe and sung with bright fervor by a six talented singers. What Ms. Lucas has supplied is a slender but effective thread of story that illustrates on the painful intertwining of love and loss in human experience.
The intimate confines of the theater — with its upholstered pewlike seating and a vast rotunda looming overhead — well serves the theme: the search for transcendence through the certainties of religious faith or the vagaries of human love or both. (The set, by Ann Bartek, is both a literal attic and a suggestion of some celestial otherworld.)
What cannot easily be transcended, Ms. Lucas's story line suggests, is the tangle of human commitment as embodied by the ties of family. Linda Balgord, playing the mother in the grip of painful memories, spends much of the show's 80-minute running time as a silent spectator, her eyes alight with fond recollection or clouded by dark visions of unhappiness.
She has retreated to the attic of the family home (New England has been suggested in reports on the production, although the program doesn't specify any location), obviously distraught and in flight from the gentle attentions of her daughter, who tries repeatedly to coax her mother to come downstairs. The contents of the house, we learn in one of the few lines of dialogue, are soon to be auctioned.
Sorting through piles of boxes stuffed with forgotten mementos, Ms. Balgord's character is assailed by ghosts from the past, rising before her like shadows cast by the moonlight glancing off the jumbled piles of long-unused furniture. Her happy meeting with her future husband (Bob Stillman) is recalled in the song "Hero and Leander," in which he sings of her as "my lighthouse on the shoreline, my passion on this lonely sea," images that chime nicely with the seaside house.
Their marriage is celebrated in the exuberant number "In the Sounding," with its text drawn from an 1886 hymn that speaks of a joyful reunion in heaven "by the crystal sea." The birth of a daughter and son is friskily signified by the sudden appearance under Ms. Balgord's arms of two blankets — one pink, one white — curled into shapes suggesting infants wrapped within.
The myths Mr. Guettel chose to evoke — of Hero and Leander, of Sisyphus's endless travails, of the winged horse Pegasus and his rider, Bellerophon, who tumbled to the ground when the horse was bitten by a gadfly — are often tales of mortals finding punishment under the mercurial whims of the gods. Accordingly, the family in this version is torn apart by conflict and unhappiness, seemingly doomed to enact the stories of folly that are woven so deeply into the fabric of mythology. Yet Ms. Lucas's poetic staging, washed in Herrick Goldman's shimmering lighting design, provides a satisfying frame for them without twisting itself in any narrative knots.
As the son, Lucas Steele sings the song "Saturn Returns" to his lover (Donell James Foreman), expressing both the rapture and the evanescence of love. "Now it's gone, and I am incomplete," he sings, although the ambivalent lyrics are somewhat belied by the somewhat overripe balletic pas de deux the men perform at the climax of the song.
His father's discovery of his son's attraction to men turns him into an unforgiving patriarch wielding his Bible as a weapon, as he leads the family in the hymn "Children of the Heavenly King." Later remorse will eat into his heart when the family gathers to mourn the son's death (one guesses from AIDS, although no time frame is specified). Meanwhile the daughter, played with rich feeling by Anika Larsen, embarks on a confused search for love complicated by her sorrow over her brother's death and her ambivalence toward her father. One of the rare lighter songs is the wryly funny "How Can I Lose You?" Over a simple, lilting music-box melody Ms. Larsen laments the disappearance of yet another lover. (They are all played by the fine tenor Matthew Farcher.) The song contains some of Mr. Guettel's most appealingly down-to-earth lyrics:
No one should always lose.
Can't I find some kind of peace?
Nobody owns the blues,
But I have a long-term lease.
Of course that's a sentiment felt by most at some point in life. The simple dramas enacted in "Myths and Hymns" are sometimes only tangentially connected to the lyrics, but the universal expressions of hope, fear, yearning and desire in the songs will strike deeply sounding chords.

Showbill, April 1998
TINA LANDAU: There never was an intention to make a show. Sometimes you start with an outline or structure and then create things to fill certain needs or functions, but this process was really the opposite. There was preexisting material that Adam wrote in his studio. But even once we conceived of putting it together, we believed that a structure would emerge. I think of the development of the show in terms of Michelangelos stone sculptures. He believed that inside the stone was a pre-existing figure that would reveal itself if he started chipping away at the block of stone.
ADAM GUETTEL: Or you could say that instead of starting from the block, we've started with the chips. In the truest sense, this is an autobiographical piece in that we weren't constrained by a narrative form; the songs themselves were not intended for anything, and their forms are very intuitive. But the composite of those chips, if you will, may eventually make something elegant. The material was born of simple impulses—the myths and the hymns—and there were really no coordinates.GUETTEL: The myths came naturally. I had a melody, a whole song—all the music was written, which is often the case with me. I don't know what I was trying to write about, but then this line, "Icarus was not an achiever," just occurred to me, for no apparent reason—I wasn't studying myths or anything—and I started riffing on

WorkAmp started its operations in June 2016 with the intention of providing the ideal office to freelancers and start-ups, which is why our first work space in Thane is vibrant and casual-toned. Over the period of 17 months, we came to the realization that our target audience was niche and to approach a broader market, we had to make our spaces sophisticated, minimalist and simple; a space that not only attracts a niche crowd but every segment of the industry. This change is visible in our newest centre, 'WorkAmp Estate' in Andheri.
The interiors at Estate are vastly different. It comprises of grey walls, wooden tables with black metal legs and black chairs with neck-rests -an interior which appeals to every individual. The idea is to provide you the perfect base so when you bring in your organization, you set your own culture.
The three core focus areas at WorkAmp are psychology in space design, hospitality and bespoke offices. Hospitality at Estate includes 24*7 security, housekeeping services for 12 hours a day, seven types of tea & coffee, fresh fruit infused water, weekend breakfasts and regular events. Estate is designed with flexible cabins wherein you can reduce or increase the size of the cabins, based on the amount of space you require. Customisation is our key feature. You can personalize any element of the cabin including the flooring to make it your space till it adheres to our basic design and feel. From the style to the size of the desks, you choose it all.
We truly believe in psychology in space design. We've upgraded our studio cocoons and created the exclusive hexagonal cocoon which is covered on five sides, blocking your audio and visual distractions so you can focus on your deep work. The hexagonal cocoon gives you the desk space of 4 desks to do four different types of work. We also modified the 3 x 2 ft desks into a 4 x 2.5 ft with sleek minimalistic partition between two desks understanding there's a certain amount of crowd that would require a larger desk space. If you're a professional looking for a bigger space to work out of, we've got you covered.
Apart from the psychology in space design and the bespoke features, the fun element is essential in a co-working space. If you were to ask us about our favourite part of Estate, it would be the Swing conference, a relaxed alternative to formal meeting rooms, located in the 2000 sq ft terrace garden.

text: Clinton [left] is the highest-ranking US official to visit Japan, a close ally, since the twin disasters [Reuters] The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan has announced a plan to bring the radiation crisis under control within six to nine months. Tsunehisa Katsumata, the chairman of the Tokyo Electric Power Co. [TEPCO], told a news conference on Sunday that the company had come up with a phased roadmap for ending the crisis and allowing residents evacuated from the area around the plant to return home. Officials said the plan involved covering the damaged reactor buildings to contain the radiation. "We sincerely apologise for causing troubles," Katsumata said. Click here for more on our special coverage "We are doing our utmost to prevent the crisis from further worsening." Frustrations have been mounting over TEPCO's failure to resolve the crisis, which began when a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami hit Japan last month, knocking out power and cooling systems at the nuclear complex located in the country's northeastern coast. In the first three months of the plan, the company hopes to steadily reduce the level of leaking radiation, Katsumata said. Three to six months after that, it hopes to get the release of radioactive materials under control. "We would like to see evacuees return to their homes as early as possible," Katsumata said. The company is focusing on cooling the reactors and spent fuel pools, decontaminating water that has been contaminated by radiation, mitigating the release of radiation into the atmosphere and soil, and measuring and reducing the amount of radiation affecting the evacuation area, TEPCO chairman said. Sakae Muto, a TEPCO vice president, said that in addition to covering the reactor buildings, the company will also work with authorities to decontaminate areas affected by the radiation. The announcement comes on a day when the radiation level increased drastically near Fukushima. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, reporting from Tokyo, said, "We are hearing that radiation level in sea water off Fukushima is up sharply again; radioactive iodine is at 6000 times the level it should be, that's a six fold increase in one day." Clinton visits Tokyo Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, arrived in Japan to show solidarity with the Japanese people as they struggle to recover from the twin disasters that killed thousands and triggered a nuclear crisis. Clinton touched down in Tokyo on Sunday. She is expected to renew the Obama administration's commitment to do its utmost to assist rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the disaster that left more than 13,000 people dead and 14,000 missing. "Economically, diplomatically and in so many other ways, Japan is indispensable to global problem-solving," Clinton told a news conference after talks with Takeaki Matsumoto, the Japanese foreign minister. "And the US-Japan alliance is as indispensable as ever to global security and progress." Clinton also said Japan and the United States had agreed to create a "public-private partnership for reconstruction" under the guidance of Japan's government, and that US firms and organisations would begin discussing how they can support Japan as it comes through the crisis. Since the disaster struck on March 11, a contingent of some 20,000 US forces have won praise for a large-scale search, rescue and relief effort. In the US relief effort, helicopters have flown aid missions from an aircraft carrier, marines helped clear the tsunami-ravaged Sendai airport which reopened last week, and thousands joined a search of the coastline for bodies. US nuclear experts have also helped with advice on stabilising the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, where the US military has flown in coolants and deployed fresh water barges and fire engines to help douse hot reactors. Al Jazeera correspondent said: "It's very much public show of solidarity and support for a key ally at such a difficult time. Also it's an opportunity to talk again about how much help US military has helped in rescue operation." ?

Abstracts of the presentations given on Wednesday, 25 July 2007, in Session 10 of the UCOWR Conference.
The large amounts of money currently being made available to the affected area and the leveling of large tracts of land by the storm provide an unusual opportunity to reassess how humans interact with their coastal areas. This opportunity will not persist indefinitely, however, and absence of a clear vision may result, by default, in a response in which structural upgrades are largely voluntary and little else changes.

The Milwaukee People's Flag BikePosted on
Over the years, we have worked with our good friends over at Fyxation to take their stock bikes and customize them for the Bike Fed as auction items at our FUNdraising events. We like to think those bikes inspired them to start their ever growing custom bicycle business, producing cool bikes for Lakefront Brewery, Pabst, Goose Island, Zip Car, etc.
These bikes have been used as promotions, employee incentives, custom fleets for offices/apartments and other uses that are designed around our customers needs. The've worked on custom bike projects as small as one unique bike that was used as an auction item for the Bike Fed at our Saris Gala to entire fleets of over 300 bikes for their large corporate customers.
Introducing the Fyxation Flag Series
For the first time, Fyxation is making custom bikes anyone can ride with their new Fyxation Flag Series. What started as a one off design for the City of Milwaukee, the Flag Series consists of two beautifully designed bikes inspired by the People's Flag of Milwaukee and the iconic four star Chicago Flag. These custom bikes were inspired by these truly unique city flags and are the beginning of what we expect to be a great series of custom bikes designed for cycling friendly cities across the country.
The Flag Series bikes are a limited edition run of bikes and they only made 40 of each design. Once these bikes are gone they'll be retired and they don't expect them to last long. In addition to these amazing custom paint jobs, these custom Fyxation Eastsides come stock with sealed bearing wheels, Fyxation Session 700 tires and are built around our durable, 4130 chromoly Eastside frameset. The Eastside was designed right here in the 414 to be ridden in tough urban environments like Milwaukee and Chicago, so it's fitting that the first two Flag Series bikes are about to hit the streets in the cities that inspired them.
These bikes can be purchased online here on Fyxation's site or at your local Fyxation dealer. You can see one in person if you visit the Fyxation club house any day they are open on Humboldt Ave. During Doors Open Milwaukee, Sept. 23rd and 24th, you can also see one hanging in the cool new Velobahn Coffee shop and Wisconsin Cycling Hall of Fame below the Bike Fed's Milwaukee office.
Check out the image gallery below for some more detail shots of these amazing custom designs or head over to the People's Flag Bike and Chicago Flag Bike product pages for full specs and photos.

Lindsey Arnold
Soul Urge (Heart Desire) Number 3
Lindsey Arnold was a male celebrity.
He was born on Thursday March 1st 1984, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA,.
Lindsey Arnold loves a good time. He is generally happy, friendly, and outgoing. Lindsey has a gift for gab. He is very witty, creative, and playful. Arnold inspires and entertains people, and considered by many a great companion.
Many outstanding comedians have this Soul number. Lindsey Arnold has a good mental and emotional balance and there is little that gets him down.
Lindsey has a gift for self expression and is drawn to the verbal arts - writing, acting, singing, and poetry. He may have a great talent in one of these areas. If his creativity is blocked or suppressed, Arnold tends to daydream and fantasize. His imagination needs a constructive outlet; otherwise, it may run away with him.
At the same time, Lindsey Arnold may have great difficulty expressing his deeper feelings and important personal thoughts. He prefers to stay on the surface, entertaining people with his wit.
If Lindsey fails to deal honestly with his inner nature, he may succumb to compulsive talking. Such behavior may be merely a way of siphoning off emotional energy that is building beneath his surface. Lindsey Arnold's deeply felt emotional life cannot be avoided or suppressed. But he possesses the talent to channel these feelings into highly creative and artistic form. Art and self-expression are his outlets.
Lindsey Arnold needs discipline to make full use of his abilities. Too often, he may scatter his energies in many directions, beginning projects that are never finished and never really succeeding in anything.
Arnold's success depends on his ability to commit to his work and to see it through to completion. Lindsey Arnold has so much creativity and inspiring upward energy that he is in desperate need of an anchor. Hard work and discipline serve this purpose and bring out the best in him.
Because Lindsey is gifted with such a sparkling personality, he is tempted to stay on the surface and play with life. Arnold is confident and loves the attention others give him, but these characteristics can lead to vanity and self-absorption.
Lindsey Arnold has the potential to live a very full and successful life thanks to his talent for artistic self expression. The key to Lindsey Arnold's success is a balance between the creative forces and self-disclose.
You and Lindsey

Picture: Robert Blake arrives at Starbucks wearing a black cowboy hat and carrying a pink reusable coffee mug Los Angeles, California - 25.03.09
Robert Blake's former assistant testified yesterday (24JAN05) that she unwittingly helped the actor kidnap his baby daughter from his then future wife BONNIE LEE BAKLEY.
CODY BLACKWELL claimed Blake asked her to pose as a nurse and take the baby, ROSIE, to her house while he took Bakley to lunch.
Blake, 71, is accused of shooting Bakley, 44, to death on 4 May, 2001.
Blackwell testified that she never went to police even though she was fearful that he had "done away" with Bakley at the time of the abduction because she feared getting arrested.
Under questioning by Deputy District Attorney SHELLIE SAMUELS, Blackwell claimed Blake told her he hated Bakley.
She said, "He said she was involved with bikers and drug addicts and low-lifes and he couldn't stand her."
After taking the baby from Bakley at Blake's direction when the mother arrived at his house, Blackwell said she met the actor later at a school and drove to a McDonald's restaurant with him, where he gave her $10 (GBP5) and dropped her off.
Blackwell said during the trip Blake was "ranting and raving about Bonny and her friends".
She added, "He said, 'Just let them come to my place. I'll be ready. I'll shoot them dead and the birds can pick their bones.'"
She said she never worked for Blake again, but after hearing that Bakley had been killed she sold her story to STAR magazine for $8,000 (GBP4,210) because she was bankrupt and could not afford her rent.25/01/2005 02:46

Howdy! I'm linking up this week over at Mississippi Piddlin and HoHo Runs as well as at Run Megan Run to catch up on this past week.
With only one "real" week of school left, the end-of-year mania is stirring up: benchmarks, awards, field day, OH MY. I finally nailed down some wedding-related details this week, including the last big task of booking our tent and rentals. Now it's on to smaller details like welcome bags, table numbers, and favors (which Mr. Groom and I are "crafting" together). The tent was unnecessarily stressing me out because a.) I didn't really want one and b.) I didn't realize how RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE they are. I wasn't crazy about the idea of the tent, because our venue has some really beautiful, very old oak trees and I didn't want to hide them. However, the estate's house isn't large enough to hold all of our guests, and my mom was adamant that we get a tent in case we have record-setting rain like we did this past October. Yay! Obviously she won that debate and here I am with a slightly messed-up budget. It's only money, right? 🙂
Anyway, on to the running part of this week. It was actually a race week for me, but I didn't have a goal in mind for this one. The forecast all week predicted rain, and having just run my big half three weeks ago, I was just looking to finish this one.
Monday | Rest
Thank goodness there was no workout on the schedule for today. Lady somehow ran into the retaining wall outside last Sunday while she and Molly were wrestling and scraped up her side pretty badly. We cleaned her up the best we could, but when I got home from work on Monday afternoon, she had had a blowout in her crate. It was EVERYWHERE. So after the lovely experience of cleaning up doggy doo from her bed, blankets, and Kong, and scrubbing her crate, and cleaning the surrounding carpet, I took her to the vet to see what was going on. I'm happy to say that her parasite tests were negative and she is healing up nicely now! Thankfully, she didn't need stitches, but by the time I got home, I was exhausted. Thank goodness for rest days!
Tuesday | 3 Mile Progressive Run
It rained on Tuesday, so I took my workout to the treadmill. I definitely got bored, even with some higher inclines thrown in, but it wasn't too bad. Pretty uneventful, though. After I finished, I did strength training on my legs/lower body for about 30 minutes or so, which I didn't keep track of. Maybe I should start doing that…
3.00 miles; 10:36/10:08/9:18
Wednesday | Speedwork
I won't lie. I bribed myself with pizza to get through this workout. Judge me if you want. I hit the track around 6 on Wednesday to tackle some fartleks. After warming up for one mile, I alternated 2 minutes of faster running with 2 minutes of easier running for 3.5 miles, then had a .5 mile cooldown. I peaked in mile 3, but managed to keep all of my surges between about a 7:30-8:30 pace. I followed this victory by bringing my sweaty, probably smelly self to pizza and trivia with Jeff (I am a font of useless knowledge. It's my forte). Life is all about balance, y'all. 🙂
5.01 miles; 46:45; 9:20 pace
Thursday | 3 miles easy
I skipped this run. Teeheehee. My school celebrated its 80th Anniversary with a snazzy gala, so I ended up sticking around until it ended at 7:00. By the time I got home, I was pooped, and combined with the tough workout from Wednesday, I was not feeling a run.
Friday | Cross
I had planned to skip cross-training today because I knew I had a race coming the next day, and while I wasn't planning on actually racing, I still wanted to have fresh legs so I could at least finish comfortably. Looks like this logic worked!
Saturday | Aiken Triple Crown 10-Miler
And here we are… The race I didn't plan on racing. When I first registered for this one, it was mostly driven by the fact that it was part of Aiken's newly created Triple Crown Race Series (which included a 5k and Half Marathon). The actual Triple Crown race was once held annually, but this year was its first running in several years. The forecast did not look optimistic for the morning of the race, but when I woke up, the skies looked fairly clear. I hate running without music and was less than excited at the prospect of running 10 miles listening to myself breathe. 🙂 I took a chance and bought my phone, and there was no rain! It poured all night on Friday, though, which was perfect because about two miles of this bad boy were on the dirt horse roads that are common in Aiken. We kicked off at 7:30 AM with me in the middle of the pack. I started out at a decently comfortable pace, but couldn't keep from pushing myself. I felt strong throughout this whole race, despite not doing much of a taper (if at all) or having a strategy. Maybe that's what helped me–just getting out there and running, and not worrying about when I'd take my GU, or whether to walk the water stops. I just ran it. Looking at my splits definitely makes me smile, because I was able to keep up a great pace throughout and had a really strong finish.
I crossed the finish line and waited for other runners to finish and got some pictures with my Sole Sisters. 🙂
Then the awards started, and I was very surprised when…
This happened! I'm lucky to be able to run in a small town, because I know I could never place in a larger race. But I'll take it!
My official chip time was 1:31:40, but I also clocked my fastest 10K yet, according to my Garmin, with a time of 55:59. Hopefully I can beat that at the Peachtree this summer!
10 miles; 1:31:40; 9:07 pace
Total Weekly Miles: 18
All in all, not a big week in the mileage category, but a great week for speedwork and racing. Here's to the last week of school — next week is all about field day and our farewell to first grade celebrations!

Try something new in Norfolk
There's just something about going on holiday that makes us all a little more inclined to try something new; perhaps you fancy embracing an aspect of the local culture that is rarely found elsewhere, want to taste a culinary delight that you'd normally never dream of ordering at your favourite restaurant, or have an urge to try a new activity that you've never done before. Whatever it is, Norfolk could just be the place to do it.
Up, up, and away
While it's perfectly possible to undertake a hot air balloon ride almost anywhere in the country, Norfolk has got to be one of the most spectacular places for your first; imagine sailing high above the dramatic coastline, across acres of farm and woodland, or high over the beautiful Broads, and you may find yourself dreaming of little else.
Race a dodman
Known in Norfolk as dodmen, snails have been raced during 'The World Snail Racing Championships' in Congham, Norfolk, since the 1960s. While such an activity may not seem particularly high-octane, watching such proceedings can be incredibly entertaining, and a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture. This year's race is being held on 16th July on Congham Cricket Field, so be sure to check it out if you're enjoying your Norfolk break during this time.
Sampling fresh seafood
There's a good chance you enjoy seafood while you're at home, and have a favourite fish and chip shop that you frequent regularly. However, have you ever eaten a cockle or whelk fresh from the sea, tasted world-famous crab, or eaten fish within yards of where it was caught? In Norfolk you can do all of these things and more, as the county is renowned for its seafood.
There are a variety of activities that you may decide to do for the first time during your next self-catering holiday in Norfolk. So, enjoy your trip and be sure to tell us all about it!

A journey to an environmental disaster that holds many secrets
Residue is a story-driven 2D platform adventure in which you control three characters with different abilities, exploring an abandoned excavation site in the remains of the Aral Sea in present-day Uzbekistan. Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea is now an arid wasteland, a victim of decades of Soviet cotton irrigation. To some, it is the prime example for humanity to stay out of nature's business. To others, it's a world waiting to be saved.
After a year of additional polish, taking all of the feedback we've received on the original release into account and making tons of the changes we previously didn't have the means to, we're satisfied to call this the Final Cut.
Quotes & opinions

Life as a WW1 soldier
Charles Robert Nicholson was in the Pioneer Corps. Reading through his diaries he spent most of his time road repairing, cleaning up, digging and revetting trenches. I suppose this would suit a coal miner used to manual work.
The other entries comment on the fighting, it's hard to imagine that these soldiers were doing this work under fire from the enemy.

I have a couple of photos of Charles in France that he sent home to his wife.
This photo gives the illusion that life wasn't so bad, I suppose a bit of fooling around, football matches etc made life bearable. Charles is in the back row by the door, with the moustache. I wonder how many of these lads survived the war.
This is Charles with the Captain's horse Capitulation. I think he would have loved horses having come from Middleham, a horse racing/ training community in Yorkshire.
