TORONTO, Dec 21 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was slightly stronger against its U.S. counterpart on Monday despite renewed weakness in oil prices, with a lack of liquidity and last week's significant weakening leading to a tight trading range. At 9:01 a.m. EST (1401 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.3925 to the greenback, or 71.81 U.S. cents, stronger than Friday's close of C$1.3945, or 71.71 U.S. cents. The currency's strongest level of the session so far was C$1.3914, while its weakest level was C$1.3969. The U.S. currency slipped against a basket of currencies after data from the Chicago Federal Reserve suggested the U.S. economy grew at a below average pace in November. Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz told Reuters on Friday that the currency and the price of oil move "like a pair of train tracks" and trying to stop exchange rates from shifting could hinder the economy's ability to absorb shocks. Brent crude prices hit their lowest in more than 11 years on Monday, hounded by a relentless rise in global supply that looks set to outpace demand again next year. U.S. crude prices were down 0.55 percent to $34.54 a barrel while Brent crude lost 1.41 percent to $36.36. Canadian government bond prices were higher across the maturity curve, with the two-year price up 2 Canadian cents to yield 0.491 percent and the benchmark 10-year rising 20 Canadian cents to yield 1.377 percent. The Canada-U.S. two-year bond spread was -45.9 basis points while the 10-year spread was -79.8 basis points. (Reporting by Alastair Sharp; Editing by Bill Trott)

text: Jurowski and the Berlin Radio Symphony give an outstanding performance in a...well thought out and recorded performance. The strings convey the necessary air of mystery and the opening horn is perfect tone. The reeds are well recorded and the orchestra certainly sounds like they've done all the necessary preparation. This recording is well worth exploring as it also includes the seldom recorded Overture on Three Russian Themes.

Forums › Bugs & issues › unencrypted files still accessible after loging out › Reply To: unencrypted files still accessible after loging out
hi svante,
thanks a lot for your quick reply! OK, I got it – however, I think that axcrypt should point make that much more apparent, because I guess that this fact (that the unencrypted file stays open in the application) is not obvious for most smartphone users. when I use axcrypt, there is no alert – and even in the manual there is no mention.
I always encrypt all my devices; however, my OneplusOne (1st generation) can not be encrypted, unfortunately. so it is vital for me that a file that I decrypt does not stay open in any application after I close it. now I know how to do it – thanks; but I guess most other users aren't aware of that – just like me, before your reply ;-)

When you are prototyping, sometimes you just need something to work, this was my case with a new experiment I'm working using Loopback 4 which I wanted to deploy for to Heroku for some rapid testing.
Generally CLI generated App's doesn't like environments like Heroku too much and since I later will deploy to DigitalOcean through some Docker containers, I just needed a QuickFix.
Anyways, let's get to the point… this is a very opiniated post which takes for granted you are using the exact same development workflow that I have, if not, post a comment and I will do my best to help you out.
- Remove the /dist entry from .gitignore so it will be committed to Git, and subsequently caught by the CD routine running on Heroku through the GitHub Webhook.
- Remove the prestart script entry from package.json.
- Remove the "-r source-map-support/register" from the start script entry in package.json.
Now you are good to deploy it to Heroku via GitHub, however don't forget to build before you commit.

|Canon A-1 with f1.8 50mm FD lens
My first 35mm SLR camera was a Praktica BC1, shortly to be replaced with a BCA body, which I used all through my student years and for some time afterwards; in 2001, with a small amount of money from a commission, I wanted to buy a more advanced 35mm SLR, but not the contemporary type of film cameras that were soon to give way to digital (in the 1990s, my Praktica was around a quarter of the price of a Canon SLR). Part of the reason for choosing the Canon A-1 was simply that I had been able to compare my Praktica against the A-1 of a fellow student at college, so a few years later it seemed an inevitable choice. My original Canon A-1 was stolen after a couple of years of use, but I replaced it with another some months later when I could afford to, and used it almost exclusively for about four or five years - mostly during the period when I didn't have access to a darkroom and shot colour or chromogenic black and white film. Part of the reason for writing a post about the camera now was a brief misconception that I had bought the camera a full fifteen years ago, before realising that it was fourteen years ago this month (the two shots below come from my first test roll); and it has been one of the cameras that I have been lending to students to use in an introduction to black and white film-based photography that I have been teaching - and being reminded of the quality of the results.
|Canon A-1 with Kodak Portra 160NC - first test roll
|Canon A-1 with Kodak Portra 160NC - first test roll
...the most exciting and advanced camera on the market. Canon has good reason to have unbounded confidence and pride in the A-1. Embodied in this camera are the qualities of the finest SLR cameras and into it went the most sophisticated electronics technology available in the world today.This quote from the introduction to the 100-page manual may well have been more than just marketing hyperbole: Camera-wiki's page on the A-1 states that "Canon's competitors were considerably slower in introducing programmed SLRs: Minolta in 1982 with the X-700, Nikon with the FA and Pentax with the Super A in 1983 and Olympus with the OM-2S Program in 1984."
|Canon A-1 with f1.8 50mm FD lens
|Canon A-1 with f1.8 50mm FD lens
|Canon A-1 main user controls
The Canon A-1 was designed to fit with all Canon's many FD, FL and R series lenses (with a few minor exceptions), and I acquired the common FD lenses, the f2.8 28mm and the f3.5 135mm; I did have a zoom for a time, but never took to using it. The f1.4 50mm lens and the faster f1.2 50mm lens are amongst the most sought after Canon FD fit prime lenses, and command high prices as a result; the standard f1.8 50mm lens that usually comes with the A-1 performs perfectly well. I also bought a (rarely used) extension tube set, and a 2x teleconverter. I was given a photocopy of the original comprehensive manual shortly after I bought the first A-1, useful to work out all the additional functions never or almost never used (I've never shot a double exposure with the camera, for example, and don't think I've ever really used the aperture priority mode). The manual provides illustrations of the many accessories provided for the A-1 and other Canon SLRs at the time, notably a data back, motor wind, magnifying eyepieces and so on. The only drawback to the Canon A-1 is that the electronic shutter is entirely dependent on battery power, a PX28 (although for others its fastest shutter speed of 'only' 1/1000th is also a cause for complaint). The electronic shutter can be a problem when a battery fails: many other SLR cameras of similar dates have at least one default mechanical shutter speed. On my current body, the battery door is cracked in two places - a common problem, looking at other descriptions online - but this is kept secure behind the action grip.
The Canon A-1 did (and continues to) live up to my expectations when I finally bought one, making the Praktica BCA look and feel very basic and primitive in comparison, although, for a first 35mm SLR camera, it had been both adequate and cheap (the secondhand price difference being much greater twenty years ago). In the course of writing this post, I've put a few more rolls of film through my A-1, and it's helped to remind me just how good the Canon A-1 is as a classic, manual-focus 35mm SLR camera.

Few things help you relax and rejuvenate like a tranquil day or two in the lap of nature as you leave behind the constant rush of urban life. The exquisite Eberl Residence by Barrett Studio Architects located in the picturesque and woodsy landscape of Evergreen, Colorado seems to provide the perfect backdrop that nature lovers dream about. Draped in natural stone and wood, the exterior of this lavish residence exudes timeless woodsy charm and dreamy magic. Yet the interior combines this traditional setting with the comforts of a modern lifestyle to deliver the very best of both worlds!
Despite the modern ergonomics, the materials used and the aesthetics remain firmly entrenched in the unique, traditional style that is native to the state. An open flowing living area, a large kitchen with a V-shaped island and the formal dining space give you a glimpse into the ease with which contrasting design elements meet inside this generous home. The exterior of Eberl Residence is no different, as the line between the captivating natural landscape around the house and the extravagant outdoor lounge is blurred by a cloak of greenery. Transcendent lighting, sizzling fireplaces and fire pits, and snaking walkways complete the pleasing residence.
This home exemplifies what I call Living Architecture, which is essentially learning from the living and natural systems with which we are seamlessly intertwined. The intent of living harmoniously is returned to the forefront of the art and the act of building.
– Principal Architect David Barrett

Advantages Of Enrolling Your Kids In Northwood Nursery School
Because of the changing times, parents have become extremely busy working, and this has been necessitated by the hard economic time. Due to this, many parents cannot find enough time to spend with their children. This has, in turn, lead to an increased number of day care nurseries all over the place. But without the proper care that the children deserve, they cannot grow and develop up properly. It has become difficult to find a good nursery school that has experienced professionals that can guide your kid properly.
But one such institution that has over time proved to offer the best and professional nursery services is the nursery school. This particular school is registered with the national early childhood education board, and it has met all the requirements that are needed to run such a facility. It has employed professional children carers and has very safe premises and facilities. Below we discuss the advantage that a parent and the kid can gain by enrolling with the Northwood nursery school. They include:
Kids spend time in a healthy way
When your kid is enrolled in such a school, he or she will engage in a host of different activities. These activities ensure that their day is spent constructively. But parents also should be advised that they should not leave their kids entirely. They should not abandon their role entirely to the nursery school. They should know that a parent plays a major role in the learning and mental nourishment process of the kid.
Kids are handled by experienced professionals
Northwood nursery school management has ensured that it has employed experienced professionals. This means that they have experience of teaching and handling such kids. It will be every parent's joy when they realize that their kid is gaining tremendously from our center. While here, the kids are sure to receive cognitive development that will be thought. Not forget the fact that they will also be having fun.
Specialized teaching and kid handling methods
Another factor that makes Northwood nursery school stand out from the rest is that they professionally employ specific methodologies in managing the kids. The interaction that the kids have with the learning objects greatly enhance the learning process for the kids. This means that the caregiver's role is limited to guiding the kids. This method of the kids learning and identifying objects on their own has been proven to be very effective in enhancing the child's capability.
Development of valuable skills
By enrolling your kid in nursery school, you will ensure that they learn the basics of life in a stress-free environment. There is no hurry in learning hence the kids learn at their pace and the best way that they want. This ensures that no external force plays a role in the learning process. Your kid will not only learn about the basic alphabets or numbers but will also learn other basic skills like singing.
They introduce kids to society
When you enroll your child here, the small kid will learn how to interact with other young ones. Hence the child will develop socially. The school will be very valuable in instilling good manners in a kid from an early age.
Enroll your child with Northwood nursery, and you will surely see a difference in them.…
Tips for finding a good preschool
Enrolling a child in a preschool is a huge step for most parents because this is the first time you will be dropping your child off and leaving them with people you don't know. This is why it is important to check the background of the preschool that you are looking at.
Below are a few things you should consider before entrusting your son or daughter to a certain preschool.
Background check
You need to ask if they do a criminal check on all their staff even the cafeteria staff all the way to the janitor. You can never be too cautious when it comes to your children. You should look into how long the staff has been working there. See if the preschool has a high turnover in their employees. You can also go to their website and read the reviews that other parents have said about the services and the staff.
This is important because you don't want to drop your child off at a school in the wrong part of the town. Make sure that the environment is safe. Just have a look around and see what is in the neighborhood. Make sure that they have a strong policy about people coming in and out of the school all day long without proof of proper identification.
Look and see if the playgrounds are safe for your child to be playing at. Check the classroom and make sure that the setting is up to date. When you walk into the classroom, it should give you and your child a feeling of safety and cleanliness. Check the bathrooms if they are clean and that they are close to the classroom.
You have to find a nursery
that will work with your schedule. It would be a good idea to find a preschool that is either close to your home or your workplace. Ensure that they have someone who will look after your child if you are running late. Some preschools will have a morning class and an afternoon class. The others have class all day long. These are the most common things that you have to consider.
Some preschools provide buses that will pick and drop your child off. Most centers that run class all day long will provide safe transportation.…

Labeling objects in your home

You can label a Chair, Window, or even your bed using flash cards by their names in French. This simple practice will always act as a repetition and as time goes by such simple words will stick in your head.
Purchasing a learning tool

Considerations When Choosing A Sports Academy For Your Child
A sports academy is an institution that is set up to provide formal training to develop the skill and talent in a particular sport. For a parent who has a child who has an interest and shows potential in growing their skill in a specific sport, then these facilities provide the opportunity for the nurturing of their ability. The sports academies range from basketball academies to football academies to hockey academies or athletics academies. The list of sports academies is as the sports that are there. What then does one consider when looking for a sports academy.
Choosing A Sports Academy
Consider your child's interest
Find out if your child loves the sport and have a potential of growing in their skill. This is to help identify that the sport is not a passing interest but it is something that the child loves and putting them in a formal training center will help them get better. One of this could be football training croydon where a child football skill is nurtured.
Finding the facility
The next step is to find a sports academy facility. A talk with parents who have enrolled their children in a facility can help you get a few institutions that you can consider. An online search will also provide one with options that they can do research on and consider as potential facilities.
This is another critical factor. Sports academy centers can be found in different places. There are those that provide a residential option and others are nonresidential. Depending on the age of the child a parent needs to choose the best choice. The residential centers need to have quality boarding facilities for the children. Other academies will have a scheduled program where they require the students to be coming for training.
The training program
Consider the training program that the sports academy offers. What is the program like is the training in depth training and extensive. What are the levels of training and fitness for developing the child's skill? How are the amenities and equipment used to facilitate the training? Find a program that will best suit your child's need.
For those offering boarding facilities, find out about the academic aspect as well. Such a center needs to provide an environment for learning and academic progress.

This includes the experience of the coach, the reputation of the academy and the option of training. Likewise, the purchase of the sports gear and equipment needs to be factored.…

About Us
Caliber Real Estate is the only full service, investment minded real estate company in the Pacific Northwest. Caliber provides access to more home inventory than anyone in the industry. We began as a partnership among friends flipping homes and building a rental portfolio together, and have grown into a full-service real estate company and traditional real estate brokerage that looks at real estate through an investment lens. Our roots in real estate investing flow through everything we do, from how we find and value properties to how we identify hidden potential and guide clients to maximize their Return On Investment.
Caliber Real Estate began life as a legal entity midway through 2013, but was in the works for many years prior. Ian Morell and his wife Jillian were working in the foreclosure auction world, helping investor clients purchase properties to flip. Months spent watching clients make good returns flipping properties lead them to try their hand at it, partnering with longtime friends Zack Lazo and Dave Albers. A string of successful projects led to an opportunity with a large hedge fund, which provided the funding necessary for the partners to strike out on their own starting Caliber Real Estate.
It wasn't long before past clients and agent contacts came to them looking for something better. The partners had long been aware of the need for a real estate brokerage that could fully service investor clients and investment-minded real estate agents. And thus, the full vision for Caliber Real Estate came to be.
Caliber Culture
No one is an island in the real estate business, and this is more than true when you're doing real estate outside the box.
Caliber strives to foster a collaborative, team culture where clients, agents, and staff can work together and spur each other on to greatness. And when we win, we share in each other's success.
We're a young company that is passionate about Real Estate, which leads to our fast-growing, startup-type atmosphere.
Mission Statement
"We want to be set apart from other companies — respected for our vision — for excellence to be shown in all we do. Sure, we could be the status quo, but, because of our mission and who we are at our core, Caliber Real Estate strives to be more:
- more in our look and message;
- more in the way we handle business;
- more in how we present the homes we sell;
- more in the way we go after houses for our buyers;
- more in the cutting-edge technology and tools we use.
We want to be a cut above. We strive to offer what we believe conveys excellence so that everyone we work with gets to, by default, experience the best — because that is what we are determined to be."
– Zack Lazo – Founding Partner & Designated Broker
Core Values
We strive to help our clients, staff, and partners not only succeed, but excel. To accomplish this, Caliber promises to:
- Be transparent in our business operations.
- Put our clients first in all that we do.
- Develop and preserve individual relationships with our clients that span far beyond the timeline of each transaction.
- Enable our agents to provide clients with the knowledge and resources needed to reach their real estate goals.
- Support and guide our clients through the entirety of each project, start to finish with integrity and perseverance.
- Bolster growth and learning within a respectful work environment.

"Ali's got chutzpah!" I used to think this was a compliment, then I learnt how to use a dictionary – "unusual and shocking behaviour, involving taking risks but not feeling guilty". Brilliant. This take on carpaccio is somewhat similar, unusual and shocking how good it is! The ponzu dressing packs a subtle punch, vibrantly flavouring the delicate salmon. It really is delicious, if I do say so myself. A great dressing to store in the fridge, pour over a bowl of lettuce and you have gone from bland to ballsy.
Top Tips…
Salmon Decisions
- A fillet of smoked salmon is ideal for this dish – easy to handle, slightly smoked & damn tasty. If you want to splash out (big time) try H. Forman & Son's at £19.00 for 200g.
- Alternatively, use very fresh unsmoked salmon (sushi grade if available) and the dish tastes just as good! To make the salmon easier to handle, make sure to rinse and dry the salmon, wrap in cling film and freeze for 1 hour prior to slicing.
- Standard sliced smoked salmon does work with the dressing. If you are heading down this route, top tip on smoked salmon buying, look at the ingredients – there should be NO ADDED SUGAR. This alters the taste and overly sweetens the dish.
- LEVEL: Easy
- Prep: 30 Mins (plus 30 min for marinating)
- Cook: None
- Dairy Free
- Gluten Free
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
500g salmon (very fresh, sushi grade if available, otherwise smoked fillet)
1 cup lemon juice (4 lemons)
½ cup lime juice (4 limes)
½ cup rice vinegar
1.5 cups soy sauce
½ cup mirin
2tsp. cayenne pepper
3 tbsp. light brown sugar
6 Spring Onions, thinly slice
60g Coriander, roughly chopped
Pickling Radishes
1O0g radishes
½ cup rice vinegar
4 cups water (warm – to dissolve the sugar & salt)
4 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. table salt
1. First, slice the radishes, into very thin circles (approx. 2mm)
2. Mix the rice vinegar, water, sugar & salt. Submerge radishes into liquid. Leave to pickle for at least 20 minutes.
3. If using fresh salmon, rinse and dry the salmon, then wrap in cling film and freeze for 1 hour (to make slicing easy).
4. Meanwhile, make the ponzu. Whisk together, the lemon juice, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, cayenne pepper, & brown sugar. Ideally, let sit for at least 30 minutes, to allow flavours to marry.
5. After an hour, unwrap the salmon and set on a large chopping board. Alternatively, take the smoked salmon out of the fridge. Cut wafer thin slices on a diagonal.
6.Arrange the salmon on a plate, spoon over the ponzu marinade and continue to layer and spooning on the marinade – spreading it evenly to coat the fish.
7. To serve, scatter over the coriander and spring onions and a lashing more of the ponzu!

Knowledge gained from the two previous impetigo studies is expected to lead to the use of an optimized formulation of auriclosene for this upcoming clinical trial. NovaBay will be responsible for the planning and execution of the upcoming trial.
Galderma – NovaBay Partnership
An exclusive licensing agreement provides Galderma with the right to commercialize impetigo products and an option to license auriclosene for use in other dermatological indications.
"We look forward to moving into the next Phase2b clinical study for impetigo. Following a detailed analysis of the results from the recently completed clinical study by Galderma, we understand better how to improve the likelihood of success in the next study. We remain committed to the development of auriclosene for impetigo," said Ron Najafi, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals.
About NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Going Beyond Antibiotics®
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing the unmet therapeutic needs of the global, topical anti-infective market with its Aganocide compounds, led by auriclosene. Auriclosene is a new chemical entity invented by NovaBay and has a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Aganocide compounds are based on the human body's natural immune system and the molecules involved in combating infections. Bacterial resistance to Aganocides is highly unlikely, as demonstrated in in vitro studies. Once pathogens penetrate the body's primary defense, the next line of defense is provided by the white blood cells. NovaBay has focused on understanding these molecules generated by the white blood cells and finding ways, by chemical modification, to allow them to be developed as therapeutic products with the potential to treat a wide range of local, non-systemic infections. NovaBay believes that if Aganocides® begin to supplement and thereby reduce the usage of classic topical antibiotics, they will help slow the rise of antibiotic resistance.

How Zodiac Signs Apologize?
Everyone does a mistake occasionally or is forced into a situation where others are hurt and one needs to apologize in order to control the situation. While few are quick to genuinely apologize and correct things, few apologize just for the sake of it and few others are stubborn enough not to apologize at all. To find out how you say sorry and what makes your sign's apology so personal, please read the articles below.
- Aries (March 21 to April 19):
Aries may seem a little intimidating at first to those who don't know them, but many first impressions about them are wrong. People assume that because they are such a confident, assertive people, they don't care if they hurt someone, but that's simply not true. People easily forget that Aries is incredibly honest, which means they aren't afraid to either own up and apologize for their actions or stand up for themselves (depending on the situation). It might come off as intimidating at first, but they only mean well and wish to make things right. Aries will acknowledge when they're wrong, but they will never apologize for something they didn't do.
How They Apologize: Treating you to a night out.
- Taurus (April 20 to May 20):
Out of all the signs, it might be hardest to receive an apology from a Taurus. This is due to their stubborn nature and attitude. They don't really admit a mistake unless evidences and eyewitnesses back the claims. You won't often see a Taurus backing down from an argument, but they DO know when they have gone too far. When they stand up for what's right, they'll always be stubborn. However, when you do receive an apology from Taurus know that it took them a great deal of strength to muster up. They mean it in the most sincere and honest way.
How They Apologize: Invite you to your favorite restaurant.
- Gemini (May 21 to June 21):
The general consensus seems to be that Geminis are too oblivious to apologize. They're not aware that they've done something worth apologizing for. That said, they may act like nothing's wrong until you straight up ask them to say sorry. They tend to get over hurt feelings pretty quickly and perhaps they just assume other people do too. If you can get a Gemini to admit their mistake, congrats you have just done the impossible. Geminis hold on steadfastly to their defense and even the most incriminating evidence won't let them give into anything or anybody. They may not admit, but at the same time, they won't repeat the mistake.
How They Apologize: Buying you something special.
- Cancer (June 22 to July 22):
Cancer is a very intuitive and emotional sign, which means that they often know when they've messed up and already had an apology prepared before you know what happened. Whenever a Cancer apologizes, though, it's always genuine and from the heart. Cancers are known to be very vulnerable and extremely emotional. If a Cancer hurts someone else, he or she suffers as much as the other person. As emotional as they are - so is their style of making an apology. Sorry, I am really really sorry. " Shucks, that was rude. Can I send you flowers ? Can I donate you my first-born ? Can I... " They will go to any extent to make up for their faults. You can trust that they are really sorry and that they are dying of guilt.Most of them do not act and are genuine when they apologize.
How They Apologize: Making you a handmade card.
- Leo (July 23 to August 22):
Leos are the kind who can get away even with murder. They are so charming and conniving that even when they admit their mistakes, they are capable of making the victim feel guilty for the mistake. You've got to hear them to believe them. They don't aim to hurt anyone, but instead put their foot in their mouth A LOT. They will apologize, though, if you be honest and tell them you're upset.
How They Apologize: Taking you on a weekend trip.
- Virgo (August 23 to September 22):
Even though Virgo is one of the most intelligent signs, Virgos still have their moments where they totally blank on how to be smart in a difficult situation. Virgos will NEVER hurt someone intentionally. Instead, they can get too into their own little world that they unknowingly say or do the wrong thing. When Virgos know they've messed up, they will take action immediately to right their wrongs. This can mean anything from a long, heartfelt speech explaining how sorry they are. An apology from a Virgo always feels like a hug for your heart. It's hard not to accept an apology from these people.
How They Apologize: Sending formal email to say sorry.
- Libra (September 23 to October 22):
Libra will go out of their way to make sure there is no turmoil between them and their friends. So much so that they would rather not say or do anything that could cause a fight instead of sticking up for themselves. When it comes to apologies, Libras often abandon their principles to keep the other person happy. However, for this reason the apology might not seem truly genuine.
How They Apologize: Baking you your favorite cookies.
- Scorpio (October 23 to November 21):
It's probably a good thing that Scorpios aren't in favor of apologies because they're probably not sorry in the first place. Scorpions believe that there are no such thing called a mistake and that it all depends on how destiny conspires. So rarely do they repent their actions. Why should they apologize for something that will most likely benefit the other person? The Scorpio perspective is that they never do anything wrong in the first place, so why should they say they're sorry, especially when they're not? That would be lying, and Scorpios most definitely aren't into that.
How They Apologize: They rarely apologize.
- Sagittarius (November 22 to December 19):
These folks are quick to a mistake and even faster in making up for it but keep this in mind, Sagittarius can be very unapologetic people that refuse to apologize. It's a good thing that Sagittarius are extremely good at communication because they're able to come up with a variety of ways of apologizing without actually apologizing. They may give you a gift as their way of apologizing or take you to an appointment - anything to distract you from the fact that they aren't saying sorry. The good thing is that even though they won't admit they made a mistake and/or they're sorry about it, they probably won't make it again.
How They Apologize: Making you laugh.
- Capricorn (December 20 to January 19):
It may be due to the fact that Capricorns are quite stubborn that makes it so hard for them to suck it up and apologize. It's not that they're not sorry or remorseful, they just tend to internalize their process in regard to apologizing. They assume that things will go much worse than they actually do, which only hurts the situation and makes it harder to get them to apologize. When they do finally apologize, though, it's straight to the point; they want to make sure it never happens again.
How They Apologize: Having a heart-to-heart with you.
- Aquarius (January 20 to February 18):
If you're expecting an apology from an Aquarius, don't hold your breath. They're not inclined to apologize unless they've done something catastrophically wrong. They tend to think they're usually right about everything and can be somewhat arrogant when it comes to how clever and smart they are, so they're not going to lower themselves to apologize. When they apologize, it always comes from the heart. It might seem like they're void of emotion, but in reality, they care deeply about the people in their life. They want their friends and family know that even when things get tense, they appreciate having people around to work things out with them.
How They Apologize: Listening to your side of the story.
- Pisces (February 19 to March 20):
Pisces is very intuitive sign, meaning Pisces people are in touch with both their emotions and yours. Pisces hate getting into arguments with their friends, but they know that sometimes, there are situations where they need to stand up for what's right and rustle some feathers. When a Pisces gets into an argument, it's always in the name of justice. Pisces will readily apologize if they hurt your feelings, but they also know that some situations don't require an apology, but a solution. They are a much more intelligent sign than people give their credit for.
How They Apologize: Making you a playlist of your favorite songs.

I am a Pisces and I do not do that……I usually apologize differently depending on what would make the person happy….like what they like and what they feel relaxed by….or if they have a favourite singer I would draw a picture of the artist 😂 but eh most Pisces would probably do that :D
I am an Aries sign and I really have a hard time apologizing even more when I do not have to do it and I really hate people who do not have the courage to do so. I like to feel satisfied after having fixed an emotional problem with another one in fact I assume the mistakes that I have made and I face the consequences that these present.

Do the words of thankfulness come rolling off your tongue like a swift flowing stream or do you have to pause and reflect like a calm beautiful pond? Is your list brief or overflowing? Does your list include immediate loved ones, friends, your employment or retirement? Does it include your pets or the environment? Are you thankful for our Government or parts of the government, like fire fighters, police officers or politicians? Are you thankful for everyday conveniences, like hot and cold water, electric heat and ranges or overflowing amounts of food year round? Are you thankful that you have the freedom to vote, exercise free speech and run for elected office?
I think if each of us were intentional about our thankfulness, took a few minutes and began to log what we are thankful for, the list and its length might be very surprising
Thankfulness is a perspective—it is a choice. I know that this year has had many challenges for many families—hard things like cancer, death, job loss or loved ones moving away. But, if you are reading this newsletter right now, you are still "in the game" and right now it is your turn to bat.
As the pitch called Thanksgiving approaches your plate this week, are you going to swing with all your might and hit a homerun? I believe you can, in fact, I know you can, because hitting a Thanksgiving pitch is the easiest one to hit. It starts out like this, "I am thankful for…." Then watch joy begin to flood your heart and a smile appear on your face, and that joy and that smile, well, they are downright contagious. Before you know it, there will be more genuine smiles all around—smiles that begin with your thankful heart.
May this Thanksgiving be the best because we all have so much for which to be thankful!

Preview: UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao
By Tom Taylor
This Saturday, the UFC will make its inaugural trip to Calgary, Alberta, Canada for UFC 149. While the card has been remoulded significantly by injury, the end result is still a promising event from top to bottom. UFC 149 might no longer be an obvious candidate for card of the year, but here is what we can expect when the UFC invades "Cow-town".
Urijah Faber (26-5) vs Renan Pegado (28-1) for the interim bantamweight championship:
Despite Dominick Cruz's withdrawal from a third fight with Urijah Faber, UFC 149 will not be without a title fight. Due to Cruz's injury, Faber and Renan "Barao" Pegado will now square off for the interim bantamweight belt. As one of the UFC's biggest stars, at 135 lbs, Faber will have his work cut out for him against the lesser known Pegado this weekend. In "Barao", Faber will face a surging athlete riding a 27-fight win streak. Both men have certainly had their fair share of fights, but Faber has battled through several title fights and will have the experience edge. Yet despite Faber's time in the limelight of UFC title fights, Barao likely dictates the pace of this fight.
Look for "Barao" to set a fast pace early, circling "The California Kid," whipping him with leg kicks and the proficient striking he used to ground Brad Pickett during their encounter at UFC 138. Don't be surprised to see Barao attempting to execute a game plan similar to the one Jose Aldo used to dismantle Faber at WEC 48. Faber will eat some shots as he refuses to give up ground to Pegado, but will eventually turn to wrestling to escape unfavourable time on the feet with his opponent. In Pegado's most recent fight, he faced a talented wrestler in Scott Jorgensen, but did not crumple under Jorgensen's takedowns. Instead, Pegado dominated Jorgensen for three rounds, solidifying his role as number one contender. While Faber might have more success than Jorgensen did in taking down Barao, expect Barao to stuff the majority of attempts and work aptly off his back if he is put there.
Faber's best chance, then, might be to drag his opponent into deeper waters, pulling Barao into the championship rounds and testing his cardio. We have seen Faber fight for five rounds on more than one occasion, but Barao is less tested in this regard. Still, it is unlikely that Barao will enter this fight with cardio that is anything short of stellar. The lower weight classes are notorious for their gas tanks, and this is even truer at the elite level. In the end, neither man will go easily. Faber has only been finished twice in his career, and Barao has never been defeated by stoppage. If Barao can handle the pressure of a title fight and main event slot, this fight is his.
The Pick: Expect Barao to land more significantly and to avoid Faber's attacks on the ground en route to a unanimous decision victory—and having the interim bantamweight belt wrapped around his waist.
Hector Lombard (31-2-1) vs Tim Boetsch (15-4-0):
UFC 149's main event is supported by the long awaited octagon debut of Hector Lombard. In his first UFC outing, the former Bellator middleweight champion will collide with Tim Boetsch.
Boetsch, who saw moderate success as a light heavyweight, has since dropped to middleweight with great results, amassing a 3-0 record at 185 lbs. In his last fight, Boetsch was dominated for two rounds by former middleweight contender Yushin Okami, only to rally in the third round to take the Japanese fighter out on his home turf. In his middleweight bouts prior to the Okami fight, Boetsch used his size and strength to execute throws and trips on Kendall Grove and Nick Ring. Against Hector Lombard, Boetsch will not have such a glaring physical advantage. Lombard, who is a decorated Judoka, will not be easily rag-dolled by Boetsch. In fact, the opposite would not be surprising. Lombard is as physically imposing as any fighter in the division, and his judo talents could well allow him to throw Boetsch around. Lombard will also hold a significant advantage in striking.
Given that his UFC debut has been so anticipated, Lombard should come out with guns blazing. Expect the Cuban-Australian to attempt to blitz Boetsch, charging forward to verify that he does in fact belong among the top five middleweights in the world. Boetsch will fire back, but his best hope lies in his immense heart and grit, which he showcased during the Okami fight. In the past, Boetsch has been a slow starter, but if he can weather Lombard's early storm, he might be able to tire the Bellator veteran and start playing his own game later in the fight. Lombard is no slouch, however, and despite his tendency to finish fights quickly, will have prepared for a three-round war. In the end, this fight will not likely go the distance. Okami had Boetsch in trouble early on in their bout, and Okami's punching power doesn't hold a candle to Lombard's. Okami dominated Boetsch for two rounds, and wasn't able to pull the trigger. Lombard will not let up when he has Boetsch in trouble. Expect the heart of Tim Boetsch to be on full display throughout the earlier portion of this fight, but his heart will only carry him so far in the blast radius of Lombard's punches.
The Pick: Lombard wins by first-round knockout.
Cheick Kongo (17-7-2) vs Shawn Jordan (13-3-0):
Cheick Kongo was first expected to lock horns with Brazilian legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, but when Nogueira withdrew from the fight with an injury, up-and-comer Shawn Jordan stepped in to face Kongo.
Kongo has fallen into the role of a gatekeeper. Generally able to take out competition outside the top ten, he has fallen every time he has challenged a top-ten opponent. While he lost to the likes of Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez, Kongo has beaten Pat Barry, Mirko Filopovic, Paul Buentello and Matt Mitrione. He also fought Travis Browne to a draw. A fighter like Shawn Jordan, who is still relatively untested, should be the kind of opponent that the imposing French kick boxer would hope for.
Jordan looked great in his UFC debut, as he finished Oli Thompson with second round punches. Prior to that, Jordan submitted Lavar Johnson. Kongo will be a significant step up, Jordan will not be without advantages. For one, he has made a home for himself at the famous Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts. His handler, Greg Jackson, has likely helped him to prepare for all of Kongo's strengths. Against lesser strikers, Kongo uses his hands. In fights where he can be challenged on the feet, he often uses his wrestling skills to win. The latter will be Kongo's plan in this fight; Greg Jackson will have coached Jordan accordingly. Look for Jordan to try to keep this fight standing, knowing full well what a knockout victory over Kongo would do for his nascent career. The 37-year-old Kongo's experience, however, will be the story of this fight, as he is able to keep his composure when under attack, landing at range on the feet, and finding success with his takedowns despite Jordan's preparation. Kongo will be looking to right his ship after a tough knockout loss to Mark Hunt at UFC 144, and his desire to get back in the win-column will have him looking more focused and aggressive than usual. Look for Kongo to land significant offense on the ground, demonstrating the impressive ground and pound he used in his wins over the likes of Mustafa Al Turk and Paul Buentello.
We have seen Jordan's chin fail him in the past, in losses to Mark Holata and Kenny Garner. This time around, his chin will be up against the pulverizing ground and pound of Cheick Kongo. Chances are, it will not survive the onslaught.
The Pick: Kongo wins by second-round TKO.
Brian Ebersole (50-14-1) vs James Head (8-2-0)
Fresh off a unanimous decision win over TJ Waldburger at UFC on FX 4, Brian Ebersole has stepped in on short notice against James Head. Ebersole will look to build on an 11-fight win-streak, having not lost since 2008. Head had initially been preparing for Claude Patrick but will instead face the man who recently beat Claude Patrick.
The glaring difference between these two fighters is their experience: Ebersole has had over six times more professional fights than Head. It is hard to imagine that Head brings anything to the table that Ebersole has not seen before in one of his nearly seventy opponents, but this is MMA, and anything can happen. Head, whose bread-and-butter is jiu jitsu, has also demonstrated effective striking throughout his career, winning four of his eight victories by TKO. That Head has the tools to win this fight with his wide range of offense cannot be denied, but it is unlikely that he will catch the wily Ebersole off guard very easily. Head might be a jiu jitsu whiz, but Ebersole has shown time and time again that he is extremely difficult to submit, and the end result might be a stalemate on the ground. Given this, expect Head to try to score on the feet in this fight. Despite Head's best efforts though, it will be Ebersole who finds more success in the head-hunting department, as he wallops his opponent repeatedly with a varying arsenal of strikes—until he feels comfortable shooting for a takedown. From there, look for Ebersole to blast through his opponent's defenses with elbows and ground and pound.
The Pick: Ebersole wins by TKO in Round 1.
Chris Clements (11-4-0) vs Matt Riddle (6-3-0)
This fight has been changed, and changed, and changed again. As it stands, this matchup is the end-result of a hurricane of injuries. Initially, Yoshihiro Akiyama and Thiago Alves were supposed to square off. Then, when Akiyama withdrew with an injury, Siyar Bahadurzada stepped in against Alves. Next, Alves pulled out with an injury, and Chris Clements stepped in against Bahadurzada. Finally, Bahadurzada followed suit and withdrew from the fight, leaving Matt Riddle to step in against Chris Clements. Somehow, at the end of the day, we're still left with an appealing matchup that, on paper, promises to be very entertaining.
Chris Clements holds numerous advantages in this fight. First, he has had much longer to prepare than his opponent, Matt Riddle. Second, Clements will have the support of Canadian fans behind him as he fights in his home country. Third, Matt Riddle's never-say-die, excitement-at-all-costs style, will play perfectly into Clements's strengths. While he is by no means a superstar, Clements might well be one of the hardest hitters at welterweight. In his 11 career wins, he has achieved all but one by knockout. While he was not able to win his UFC debut by knockout, he won none-the-less, and he will look to tack another win onto his record against the young Matt Riddle.
Riddle, who is 3-2 in his last 5, has fallen into slugfests with superior strikers in the past. While these fights have been barn burners, they have not been victories for Riddle. If he wants to win this fight, Riddle will need to be cautious, picking his shots, and keeping his composure against the heavy-handed Clements. Clements, who has admitted that he yearns to emulate the fan-favorite style of Chris Lytle, will be more than happy to oblige Riddle in a firefight if Riddle offers. While Riddle might take a methodical approach in the bout's beginning, a few solid shots from Clemens might well throw the young fighter off his focus. In the end, expect this bout to unfold mainly on the feet, where the much older, but much harder-hitting Clements will prevail, even if he is unable to finish the durable Riddle.
The Pick: Chris Clements wins by unanimous decision.

Cabo Verde
Cabo Verde shows us the health care progress we want to see across Africa
Cabo Verde, a small nation of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean has made giant strides in health care provision. When the country first gained independence in 1975, there were only 13 doctors on the islands, the average life expectancy was 56 years, and the infant mortality rate was high, at 108 deaths per 1 000 births.
Today, Cabo Verde has six hospitals, an infant mortality rate of slightly more than 15 deaths per 1 000 births. and an average healthy life expectancy of 64 years. In 2016, life expectancy was 79 years for women and 71 years for men. It is not a rich country, but the archipelago nation has achieved a health status that some larger and richer African countries are still struggling to match.
"Important principles, like equity, like the reduction of regional asymmetries has been achieved," said H.E. Dr Arlindo Nascimento do Rosário, Minister of Health and Social Security.
Although Cabo Verde has more hospitals, health centres and other health facilities today than it did on the eve of independence, this is only part of the reason for its achievements. The country's policy-makers have taken a wider view of health and focused on ensuring universal access to health care and providing primary health care services. Today, more than 80% of the population lives within 30 minutes of a health facility.
These gains have come despite spending only US$ 165 on health care per person in 2013. In 2001 it was US$ 65.
All Cabo Verdeans are entitled to a basic package of health services, which covers antenatal care; emergency treatment; and treatment and prevention for HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. Some other medicines and consultations involve a US$ 1 surcharge, but that fee is substantially less than the actual cost of the treatment or consultation provided.
Around 40% of Cabo Verdeans have social insurance through their employers, entitling them to more health services as well as sick pay.
The introduction of telemedicine in 2012 has made it easier to access specialized care and has reduced the rate of patient evacuations from the smaller islands to those with large hospitals. It has also made distance learning for medical professionals in the country a possibility.
The management of smaller health facilities has also been radically decentralized since 2016, saving the Government money and ensuring that managers live closer to the communities they are serving. For patients requiring treatment that is beyond the capacity of Cabo Verde's health care system, like tertiary care for some types of cancer, the Government provides flights to Portugal and covers the treatment costs there. Between 600 and 700 people receive this sort of health care each year.
Ensuring a healthy population requires collaboration with many different sectors. Cabo Verde has high literacy rates, allowing the rapid spread of health-related information, along with widespread access to electricity and sanitation. The country's experience demonstrates the importance of wider stakeholder engagement across government departments to improve its health care outcomes. Multisector collaboration is a key theme of the second WHO Africa Health Forum, which began on 26 March in Praia, Cabo Verde.
"The Africa Health Forum is a great opportunity for our partners in the region to know the efforts that Cabo Verde has done for the past 43 years, since its independence, towards universal health coverage, " said H.E. Dr Nascimento do Rosário.
On 25 March, about 50 participants of the Forum took a field trip to see how Cabo Verde's health system is working at all three levels of care – national, regional and community health posts. They observed the country's innovative initiatives with telemedicine, a human milk bank and teen pregnancy prevention in action, as well organizational reforms through the regionalization of the health sector to improve access to health services.

ESPN The Magazine is dropping an "eSports" issue this week with Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch gracing its cover. In a feature story, Lynch, who is notoriously uncooperative with the media, gives an exclusive account of his role in Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
Yes, the video game. Lynch is the first athlete to be featured in the immensely popular first-person shooter video game franchise.
"We have been wanting to do an eSports issue for several months now," ESPN The Magazine senior editor Megan Greenwell told Adweek. "We're witnessing the birth of a sport."
The world of competitive gaming, known as eSports, is a $194 million-per-year industry in which Lynch happens to be a huge fan. The industry is growing with unprecedented speed, with revenue increasing 49 percent from 2012 through the end of last year. By 2017, the projected revenue for eSports is $465 million annually. In 2014, people spent 3.7 billion hours watching eSports globally, compared to 1.3 billion hours in 2012.
"We really wanted to capture that energy around eSports at this particular moment in time," Greenwell said.
While looking to connect the interplay between the gaming world and mainstream sports, ESPN The Magazine staffers found out Lynch would be a character in the game. Despite Lynch's reputation for being difficult with the media, he was intrigued about offering a behind-the-scenes look at how his role in the game came about.
Reporter Sam Alipour was invited to Activision's studio and sat with Lynch while he was designing his character and, at times, wearing a motion-capture suit. Additionally, there will be a SportsCenter segment on the process, and it's been assured that Lynch will say something other than what he offered before the Super Bowl, when he constantly repeated the line: "I'm just here so I won't get fined."
Greenwell said Lynch "gets really excited about video games" and "genuinely sees them as a fun outlet."
The eSports issue isn't entirely dedicated to Lynch. It also features NBA standout Kevin Durant and NFL star Patrick Peterson, offering first-person accounts about why they're such avid gamers. Also, a look at the rise of female gamers and a comprehensive breakdown regarding the growth and reach of the industry provided by FiveThirtyEight. And then there's Faker, a South Korean gamer prodigy who shares his story and explains what it's like to be considered the first global superstar of eSports.
Gamers Have Bigger YouTube Followings Than Pop Stars
Felix Kjellberg, aka PewDiePie, is also profiled in the issue – one of only a handful of interviews he's ever given. The elusive gamer is one of the world's biggest YouTube celebrities, with more subscribers than Taylor Swift, One Direction and Sam Smith combined. PewDiePie currently has 37 million YouTube subscribers, roughly 14 million more than YouTube's own official channel.
The world of eSports is exploding in popularity, and it's probably unlike any other recreational activity in terms of the divide between people who know about it and people who don't have any clue it exists.
"A lot of of media coverage of eSports so far has read like an introduction to the subject—we really wanted to stay away from that," Greenwell said. "We didn't want to alienate people who do know a lot about this world. We also wanted to make it accessible and compelling to people who don't."
She also hopes eSports becomes an annual issue for The Magazine
"I think covering eSports is going to become more and more a priority for ESPN, and I will leave the decision part of it up to my bosses," Greenwell said. "But I think we're going to have to continue to cover it."

Lead is a naturally occurring bluish-gray metal present in small amounts in the earth's crust but activities such as fossil fuels burning, mining, and manufacturing contribute to its release in high concentrations in the environment. Today lead is used in everything from construction materials to batteries.
Long-term exposure to lead can cause serious health problems to everyone but babies and young children are at greatest risk — their smaller, growing bodies make them more susceptible to absorbing and retaining lead.
Routes of Exposure to Lead
Lead exposure usually results via inhalation of lead-contaminated dust particles from deteriorating household paints, lead in the work place, lead in crystals and ceramic containers that leaches into water and food, lead use in hobbies and cosmetics.
Several "new" sources of lead poisoning have made headlines over the last five years, including lead-contaminated candies (many imported from Mexico), lead-contaminated toys (mainly from China).
Other potential sources of lead can be: foods that are grown in soils contaminated with lead, canned foods, insecticides, tap water, some wines, car's lead-acid batteries, lead glassware, crystal dishes and even lipstick [1].
Adults absorb 35 to 50% of lead through drinking water and the absorption rate for children may be greater than 50%.
Lead and the Connection to Children's Health
Despite the fact that since the late 1970's lead exposure has decreased significantly as a result of the elimination of lead in gasoline [2], a lot of children continue to have elevated blood lead levels (> 10µg/dL). This is especially true of children under the age of six, because they tend to be more "auto-oral exploratory" (i.e., they put more things in their mouths). Hence, lead poisoning is one of the most common pediatric health problems today [3, 4, 5].
The largest source of lead poisoning in children comes from dust and chips from deteriorating lead paint on interior surfaces of older houses. It has been reported that among 16.4 million United States homes with more than one child younger than 6 years per household, 25% of homes still had significant amounts of lead-contaminated deteriorated paint, dust, or adjacent bare soil [1]. Even cleaned houses can be a risk factor since lead in dust and soil often re-contaminates them [2] and contributes to elevating blood lead concentrations in children who play on bare, contaminated soil [3].
How Lead Harms Your Child and Yourself
Lead is the most systemic toxicant that affects several organs in the body including the kidneys, liver, central nervous system, blood, endocrine system, and reproductive system [6].
Symptoms of lead poisoning in children include anemia, muscle weakness, gastrointestinal problems, anxiety, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, memory problems, blindness, seizures, paralysis, mental retardation.
The nervous system is the most vulnerable target of lead poisoning. Headache, poor attention spam, irritability, loss of memory and dullness are the early symptoms of the effects of lead exposure on the central nervous system [7, 8].
In children, studies have shown an association between blood level poisoning and diminished intelligence, lower IQ, delayed or impaired neurobehavioral development, decreased hearing acuity, speech and language handicaps, growth retardation, poor attention span, and anti-social behaviours [9, 10, 11].
Hilary A. Godwin, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at UCLA, refers to recent studies that suggest that these declines in cognitive outcomes often persist long after the source of exposure has been removed. Also treatment of children with chelation therapy who have blood lead levels between 25 and 44 µg/dL does not seem to significantly improve their cognitive outcomes later in life compared to children who received no chelation therapy but simply had the source of exposure removed.
Exposure to lead is also of special concern to pregnant women. Lead absorbed by the pregnant mother is readily transferred to the developing foetus [12]. Prenatal exposure to lead was linked with reduced birth weight and preterm delivery [13], and with neuro-developmental abnormalities in offspring [14]. Lead exposure may also trigger spontaneous abortions in women [15].
In men,high lead exposure was associated with reproductive effects such as decreased sperm count [16].
Chronic lead exposure may cause adverse effects on the blood, central nervous system, blood pressure, kidneys, and vitamin D metabolism [17, 18, 19, 20].
Mechanism of Lead Toxicity
One of the major mechanisms by which lead exerts its toxic effect is through its ability to inhibit or mimic the actions of calcium and to interact with proteins [21]. Within the skeleton, lead is incorporated into the mineral in place of calcium.
In the bloodstream, lead can damage red blood cells and limit their ability to carry oxygen to the organs and tissues that need it, thus causing anemia.
Lead binds to biological molecules such as enzymes thereby interfering with their function.
Lead may also compete with essential minerals for binding sites, inhibiting enzyme activity, or altering the transport of essential minerals such as calcium [22]. Lead is reactive with sulfur and selenium and can unable these two substances to protect the body from free radicals.
Lead can damage cells due to formation of free radicals [23].
Its negative effect on the brain is due to its interference with neuronal signalling and intracellular signal transduction that are calcium-dependent processes.
Lead also inhibits the release of certain neurotransmitters, a process that is similarly calcium-dependent [24].
Lead is potentially carcinogenic, inducing renal tumours in rats and mice [25, 26] and is therefore considered by the IARC as a probable human carcinogen [27].
Therapeutic Considerations
Apart from minimising exposure to lead in the environment, another measure of lowering lead's impact on the body is adequate nutrition. It has been found that one of the major risk factors for lead toxicity in children is poor nutrition, particularly deficiencies of essential minerals, calcium, iron, and zinc (28). These nutrients as well as vitamin C help to decrease the body's absorption of lead.
If you suspect you or your child are affected by high lead levels, please contact us at email@example.com for more information and health advice.

Parachutists and BMXers take centre stage at East Anglian Game and Country Fair
Silver Stars Parachute Display Team
Outdoor pursuits ranging from dizzying BMX and parachute stunts to traditional equine and falconry displays will draw the crowds when the East Anglian Game and Country Fair returns next month.

And there will be more than 350 shopping stands and countless eating opportunities including new "street food pop-ups", while the Game Fair Country Kitchen includes cookery workshops with award-winning chefs from across Norfolk and Suffolk showcasing their signature dishes using seasonal, local produce.
The Duke of Grafton said: "My family and I are delighted that Euston Estate is once again hosting the East Anglian Game and Country Fair.
"The park and grounds offer a particularly attractive setting for events of this kind and all the diverse activities on offer, from clay shooting to dog shows, and archery to forestry displays, make it a calendar-worthy event each year.

I often get asked a lot of the same questions by brides to be. Some times they feel silly for asking the question as it seems like a stupid one to ask, but I always say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Here are a few of the most asked questions below. If your question isnt on the list then please get in contact and I will be happy to answer it for you.
- Q. How long have you been a professional photographer ?
A. I have been a professional photographer for over 3 and half years. Before this I had been doing it as part of my job running a pub and club. I have now photographed over 50 weddings all over the UK. It has been my full time profession for 2 years.
- Q. Do you have whole weddings we can see ?
A. Yes all my previous bride and grooms are happy for me to share with you online album links to see what a full wedding looks like. I also have previous customers recommendations and testimonials which can be seen here.
- Q. How long will you be at my wedding ?
A. Our half day packages are for 5 hours I always aim to get there a little earlier to look round the venue and meet with the venue team and coordinators. Our full day packages have no time limit. If you require us from 9 am till 10 pm then I will be there that long. I will also sit and discuss your exact needs and time table with you to get a feel of the right amount of time you require.
- Q. How long after the wedding will it before we get to see the photographs.
A. On the day of your wedding I aim to get between 20 and 30 highlight images from your day edited and on Facebook (with your approval) for you after 8pm. The rest of your images will be between 4 to 6 weeks. In the summer months we may have a slight increase because of how busy I am with multiple weddings a week.
- Q. Are you insured ?
A. Yes I have liability (for myself and my team), equipment insurance including PAT testing and even a DBS (background Check). These can be found here.
- Q. Do you use professional camera equipment to photograph weddings ?
A. Yes I use a Nikon D750 or a Canon 5d mk iv, I also have a bag with back up bodies and lenses.
- Q. Do we have to feed you at the wedding reception?
A. On the full day packages I do ask if a suppliers meal can be put aside for me in the bar area. Be sure to ask your venue for a SUPPLIER's meal. This tends to be a smaller and much cheaper option.
- Q. Do you edit the wedding photographs?
A. Yes. First I will go through your images and select the best ones (those that arent blurry or of my feet) and then I will edit each one individually.
- Q. Will it be you that photographs our wedding ?
A. Yes it will always be me. In some instances I may bring either a lighting assistant or even a second photographer to help capture the day.
- Q. Where are you based and how far will you travel? Do you charge mileage?
A. I am based in Lincolnshire but I do travel the UK. I don't charge mileage but over 180 miles or 3 hours away I do ask for a cheap hotel (premier inn or travelodge) a single room will be fine to keep the costs down.
- Q. What if you are ill ?
A. In all the time I have been shooting weddings I have never not turned up. ( I even shot a wedding with Man Flu. I know right that was an accomplishment) It will always be me unless the worst happens and I end up in hospital in which case my emergency back will be there to capture your wedding. I have a great network of people that would be able to help if the worst happened.
