Suddenly we were traveling to Oregon, we always had this state on top of our minds, but the trip just came out of the blew.
Oregon is like Disney for an outdoors enthusiast, it has it all within a couple of hours of driving – not a big state – mountains and glaciers, sea and beaches, cowboy towns, a hipster city, waterfalls and more waterfalls, more hikes paths than roads, lakes, sand dunes…… We had only two weeks in Oregon and wanted to experience it all- which made a little time of 2 days to spend in Portland.
This city is a perfect city for living, not too big not too small. Great restaurants and lots of breweries. The capital of the outdoors brands, and lots of upcoming cool small brands too.
Great parks for city hiking or biking, amazing bridges to make a running experience across the city, and perfect landscapes to wherever you look at.
Portland is known for the rain, but, luckily we didn't experience one rainy day.
Special thanks to Scandinavian Outdoor Store, Dakine Argentina & Nike.

Hi guys.
I'm new to the world of ESL and I'm still trying to decide if it's for me. I'm leaning towards doing a Cert Tesol course anyway as I attended a Taster Day at TEFL Lab. Now, I have searched high and low and can't find a snippet of a review about this company. I realise that it's relatively new - having launched in 2010 - but I'm sure somebody must have done training with the school.
I would love to hear from anyone who is currently training on the TESOL course or has completed it already. What were the pros, the cons? Did you enjoy it? Was it useful...etc? I need to be sure that I'm spending £800 for something/somewhere that's worth it. I mean, they were nice to me on the taster day, but I'd like to know the experiences of other people...etc.
So, hit me?
TEFL Lab?

Re: TEFL Lab?
Quality TEFL programs will give you some good basics that you won't be able to deliver on your own and short courses generally are NOT the one. Most employers consider a 100+ hour course with at least six hours of observed teaching practice with real teachers, to be the industry standard. Better you can get in touch with them and try to understand their teaching methodologies.
Re: TEFL Lab?
Provided they offer a genuine Trinity CertTESOL course you can't really go wrong.
See the Teflnet FAQ on Cambridge CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL, SIT TESOL Certificate.

text: azul 195 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Since no one has done a review of this show I thought I'd post one. Only ended up catching World Class due to PC Alumni Tailgate and helping to tear down only to finish by int. I was up high, 3rd from the top close to but not exactly on the 50. Mandarins-As a PC alum (and Bloo) I felt weird wanting them to make finals in '17 but if you can make me root for you then you're doing something right. I believe this show has the wheels to make it as high as 9th, maybe 8th if they really amp up their performance levels. Hornline is the best I've ever heard from them, the drill design is on point and the concept is easy to follow. But it helps I've been obsessed with Rite of Spring since age 4 thanks to the OG Fantasia. The trombones added a nice edgy color through out the show and didn't feel out of place or visually clunky. Battery is throwing down some diddles out there and the guard is on point. Not to mention the guard outfits totally give you that creepy vibe you need from this show. Had them closer to BK. Troopers-Really dug the opening of Black Parade and how they treated the sunburst. Then the Western melodic statements to finish off the opening impact was a cherry on top that brought a smile to my face. If you need melody for your shows, these guys have plenty! Lead trumpet book is hard but they aren't letting it get to them and I commend the lead section facing the challenge head on. There was a moment where the corps was spread out and was beginning to tear but the DM said "nope!" and reeled them all back in keeping em in time. Liked the uniform change and how it connected with the prop colors once they turned. Felt like they saved their volume for the last statement cuz dang did they pump it out there! This show is really dirty right now but can really do some damage once cleaned up. Watch for that. Academy-The opening movement to this reminded me of those Glassmen shows that were almost by the book. Good musical foundation, good marching execution but it didn't emotionally grab me. But as the show progressed it got better and better. Concept came through better and the members seemed to perform it better. I really dug the vocal quartet. I wouldn't call it singing but they spoke rhythmically and with the right pitches. There's a lot visually going on and at times it felt like the members were overwhelmed with the "what" and it effected the "how." Blue Knights-Rite of Spring take 2 for the night and I still enjoyed it as their treatment was different from Mandarins. I know it's an Egypt show and took the opening as Aliens helped build the Pyramids. This hornline and battery can play! Holy hell! When the baris/euphs switch to bones, it got painfully loud. I liked their utilization of their show attire and using it to visually create interest within the program. 8-18 is going to get bloody. This show and the others before it confirmed that. Hope the members in that placement range realize that this is the best this tier has ever been and there will be a lot of finalist caliber programs performed for the last time on Semifinals. Pacific Crest-This was a tough pill to swallow for me as an alumni. I'm not a huge musical fan and disliked LaLa Land. The music book just didn't connect with me and those around me in the stands and for lack of a better description, felt like a show I'd judge during the fall. The visual side of things are in contrast to that. They were visually very clean for this time of year and I found myself applauding the home team for their visual impacts more than their musical ones. I don't know what's gone on behind the scenes but I thought they were going to start contending for a Saturday night appearance after the success in 2012-2013. It seems they've fallen off and haven't recovered from there. The brass staff needs to really work a lot on the pumping sound/volume and articulation definitions if they want to keep up with the visual staffs success. I don't see this show in the 8-18 fight and may even struggle to make Friday night if the newer WC and other OC groups get musically better and amp up their GE. SCV-This is your winner this year unless Bloo does something with their ending that is just mind boggling. There was not a moment of this show where I lost interest. They grabbed you by the shirt and dragged you through mud but you wanted nothing more than for them to continue to abuse you....ok, maybe a weird description but holy hell this is the show! This is the Vanguard of the late 90's mixed with modernized drum corps! Those mellos didn't just give a clinic, they defined what should be done on that horn. Their soloists were just ####### showoffs at everything they did. The ranges, the articulation patterns, the technical prowess. Am I really gushing over Vanguards hornline?!?!? The percussion section is off the charts as always. Their pit made feel very feely types of feelings especially on the more intimate parts. And the guard. THE GUARD!!! Repeat Zingali? Only if they can keep this up and do well against Boston and Bloo. Ballad of the year for me. Nothing else is paced so musically, visually and emotionally better out there this season. The Club Sound breakdown makes Cavaliers fight club look like childs play but that was eventually going to happen with this new direction DCI has been going in. I've never gotten teary eye from a show this early let alone from a corps that I never marched or taught. If you win this, Vanguard, I would have zero complaints. You were long overdue for a corps of this caliber with your history and I'm happy to see the talent of your membership at the level it's at. Blue Devils-I use to be a bonified hater. I won't lie. But over the past 8 years I've grown to love what they're doing. I really liked last seasons visual program and what it did to help represent the history of this corps and the evolution of the activity and was hoping to see something of that caliber again. Unfortunately we didn't get that and I really felt for the corps. Following the emotionally draining act SCV put on was a really tough draw for the Devils. They were technically clean, had some very well executed drill developments and I really liked the visual design especially during the closer when the high brass begins a string like unravel of the block on side 1. I also was impressed by the circles that rotated to blocks around a non moving focal point within the form. And do these guys move! But it was emotionally comparative to Academy's opener. Another note I'll say about the Devils is that I've noticed a trend that when the fans say something along the lines of "move more! play more melody! less weird, dissonant music!" and they listen, they seem to have a tougher time winning. Look at '11, '13, '16 although I don't think in '16 anything was really vocalized along those lines. I'm seeing Devils this season move almost as much as Crown '12. Maybe it's just coincidence? I don't have an answer. That being said I don't see this placing top 2. That's not a knock on them. If anything it's a compliment to their success forcing other groups to step up their game. They could get bronze this year and be 0.5 from the gold. They were really close to getting bronze in '16 with how close things got that year so again, it's not a knock. Their competition just figured out the work ethic and some design elements needed to give em a run for their money. Not to mention parity in DCI would not hurt at all. Do we really want it to be the same top 2/3 every season? Even NBA fans are tired of a Cavs/GS final. Anyways hope you enjoyed the review. My pointless predictions after 2 weeks of shows for finals 1/2 SCV/Bloo 3-7 Devs/BAC/Cavs/Cadets 8-12 There are 10 corps I could put here. Use your imagination cuz everything will be wrong in the end lol 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have an informative Guest Blog today by Naomi Dainty, Marketing Manager of Deafblind UK. Naomi writes:
A lady once came up to our stand at a low vision event. She had sight impairments and was wearing two hearing aids, indicating to that she was hard of hearing. She saw that we were representing Deafblind UK and said to me "wouldn't it be awful to be deafblind, those poor people!" What she didn't realise was that she herself was actually one of nearly 400,000 deafblind people in the UK.

My most recent book PL8s is a collection of car number plates. It's my second attempt at the book, after changing the cover design, and accounting for some issues experienced on my first go.
Why number plates? For the hell of it and because I love making collections and lists of things. I also think number plates are the original source of the shorthand language we use in SMS and IM messages and that before we chuckle at how clever and beyond 2000 we are we should take time and reflect on older sources of short hand language. Enjoy.

Toowoomba's only soup kitchen saved after $38k donations
THE city's only soup kitchen has been saved thanks to a Herculean effort by two Toowoomba community workers.
Jon Martlew and Nat Spary took up the challenge to be homeless for a week last Sunday.
They endured freezing temperatures, living with no toilets and sleeping on cold concrete.
Mr Spary was trying to save Toowoomba's only soup kitchen Basement Soup Kitchen and Mr Martlew was raising money for outreach program Rosies.
At last count they had raised more than $38,000.
Their gruelling challenge finished yesterday at 6pm.
Mr Spary said the vitally-needed soup kitchen had been saved.
The kitchen costs about $50,000 a year to operate on a shoestring budget.
It is the only place homeless people in Toowoomba can go for a meal, which for some is the only thing they'll eat all day.
Mr Spary said feeding homeless people could help reduce crime and prevent people with addictions giving in to temptation.
The campaigner made an 11th hour bid to raise extra funds on Saturday night.
With 24 hours to go he decided to go barefoot as a grand finale to the challenge.
That was despite forecasts showing the temperature would drop as low as four degrees.
Mr Martlew said he'd learnt a lot by spending a week in the shoes of a homeless person.
"I know now that people aren't homeless by choice," he said.
The pair also learnt that many people in Toowoomba have in the past been homeless.
Neither man was truly prepared for the challenge and they soon realised that enduring the cold Toowoomba winter was their biggest problem.
Kind-hearted supporters dropped off blankets and jackets which eased their plight.
By mid-week they knew the location of every public toilet in the CBD.
Mr Spary said with the challenge over he would hug his kids, kiss his wife and then enjoy the comfort of a long hot bath.
He has other fundraising initiatives planned for later in the year.

An intro to Auto Insurances
Source: Flickr
Auto insurance coverage is mandatory in many states. The law mandates to have vehicle insurance coverage on any lorry you drive. And nowadays getting automobile insurance is not a big offer at all. There many insurance provider readily available today offering automobile insurance plan and each insurance coverage service provider provides their own custom made plans with a cover to match today's industry requirements. Thus the genuine game is to discover the best suitable one which matches you the best.
One of the basic things to consider before getting any automobile insurance coverage is the kind of coverage you require. Which ever policy you choose you have to pay a particular quantity of money depending upon the type of protection you pick for your vehicle. Let us look in information what are the primary types of vehicle insurance policies readily available in the market.
One of the most common kinds of vehicle insurance coverage is the liability insurance coverage. Liability insurance is thought about as the least coverage a person can take. Liability insurance is considered an essential one it will cover to its mentioned amount if any accident has actually taken place triggering damage to some other's body or home, and the individual operating the insured automobile was found to be accountable for the mishap. The auto insurer will pay the mentioned total up to the injured according to your insurance coverage. However keep in mind if you are hurt or harmed in the accident, you will not get any protection and will need to invest all the money for medical costs along with any damage occurred to your automobile yourself. For the most parts after any claim, car insurance provider typically increase your regular monthly payments if you are found responsible for the accident.
The second popular type of vehicle insurance coverage is the Full Insurance coverage. If you are selecting the complete insurance plan your regular monthly payments will be based upon your car make and design. If you are using a highly pricey car then you monthly payments will be high for a standard cars and truck the premium quantity will be less. Full insurance will cover both the parties involved in a mishap. Complete insurance coverage would covers to either the real cost of repair works or the specified quantity, less the stated deductible, when the insured car is harmed in any mishap.
Before penetrating any car insurance it is better from you part to talk with various automobile insurance providers to understand the difference plan offered by them. Ask them if they have the ability to send you insurance coverage quotes on the policies and the types of coverage they supply. Research study the automobile insurance policies and compare their rates and benefits thoroughly before selecting a particular offer. And attempt to choose an ideal vehicle insurance policy which fits you the best.
Nowadays there are numerous sites which use instant auto insurance coverage quote contrast services. This assists the customers to compare the very same service offered by different auto insurance suppliers before selecting any particular insurance coverage supplier.

GQ teams up with Citroën to launch branded car
GQ has partnered with Citroën to launch its own concept car, which will be available for readers to view in this month's issue, out tomorrow (4 March).
The men's magazine has worked closely with the French marque to create a hybrid car that suits its target readership, featuring styling by Citroën's designer, Mark Lloyd, and interior design by Patrick Grant, the creative director of Savile Row tailors, E. Tautz.
The project has been led by GQ's editor Dylan Jones, and will be formally launched in central London this week. It will also be featured in April's issue of the magazine.
Jones says: "I wanted something practical, something cool and something idiosyncratic. The GQ car needed to have the "want" factor, but it also needed to look, feel and "drive" like the sort of car no sane man could ignore."
The hybrid car has been designed to stay close to the signature Citroën design and takes a GT body style.
Mark Lloyd, chief designer of Citroën's international projects, says: "Where this car works so well with GQ is that it fits with the current attitudes of conspicuous consumption. It is understated rather than in-your-face, sleek rather than macho."
This is not the first time GQ has partnered with other brands. The magazine has also had branded made to measure suits, personalised aftershaves, handmade shoes and limited-edition accessories, racehorses, bars and houses in the past.
In the last magazine ABC's GQ was one of the only paid-for men's magazine to see its circulation increase. For the year 2007-2008, its circulation rose by 0.4% to 130,008.

Cryptocurrency vs Blockchain: What's the Difference?
Whenever digital assets are mentioned, the terms cryptocurrency and blockchain are often used interchangeably. Given the technical depth of this new technology, and its complexity, it can often be confusing to understand the many terms and concepts that surround it.
These two concepts are fundamentally different. This article will look at the differences between cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, with the aim of exploring the various different nuances and features of these seemingly interchangeable terms.
Historical Overview
In 2008, an anonymous user calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper, which illustrated a ground-breaking new technology that functioned as peer-to-peer digital cash, called Bitcoin. At that time, Bitcoin was deemed to be a revolutionary innovation, since its underlying technology solved fundamental issues within the realm of digital assets and cryptography, which had prevailed for decades.
Although several digital currencies existed prior to Bitcoin, the architectural system of Bitcoin and its cutting-edge consensus mechanism resulted in a superior technology that was able to disrupt the definition of money. For this reason, Bitcoin is credited as the first ever decentralized cryptocurrency.
Differences Between Cryptocurrency vs Blockchain
To fully understand the differences between the two terms requires that the context also be understood.
Cryptocurrency: Medium of Exchange
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that functions as a medium of exchange, much like cash in digital form. Given that cryptocurrencies are the digital adaptation of cash, they possess three major characteristics:
Medium of Exchange: Cryptocurrency facilitates various kinds of exchange transactions, including for goods and services.
Unit of Account: Cryptocurrency provides a common measure of the value of goods and services, allowing different things to be measured against each other intuitively.
Store of Value: A currency must be able to retain its value over time for it to effectively function as a medium of exchange. Cryptocurrencies are a great store of value given their finite supply.
As mentioned above, Bitcoin was the first decentralized cryptocurrency. It functions as peer-to-peer digital cash that is free from the control of such intermediaries as banks and governments. Since Bitcoin was launched, more than 2,100 coins have followed, which are traded on public exchanges, as well as thousands more that have been created, but have not yet been listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. Since Bitcoin represents the first implementation of blockchain technology, it is easy to automatically assume that both terms are one and the same.
Cryptocurrencies are a measure of value on the underlying network, and can encompass a wide variety of utilities and use cases.
Types of Cryptocurrency Use Cases
The use of cryptocurrency has often been thought of as a means of payment. However, there are different cases in which cryptocurrencies can be used.
- Currency: The most obvious and original use case of a cryptocurrency is that of a form of currency used to pay for goods and services external to the native network. This use case falls under the same category of any other currency, including such major Fiat currencies as USD, CAD, EUR or JPY. For example, with Bitcoin or Litecoin, users can pay for any kind of product and service globally, as long as the merchant accepts cryptocurrency as payments.
- Utility: Most cryptocurrencies include a utility other than a means of payment. This is usually in the form of an exclusive access to the products and services within the platform that issues the coin. The difference between a coin being a currency and a utility is that holding a utility coin provides the holder access to a function of the native network, while a coin functioning primarily as currency can be used outside of the native network. Utility is another term for benefit, and can confer various advantages upon token holders, such as voting rights and discounts on future services to be offered by the platform.
- Representation of an Asset: Blockchain technology allows any asset to be 'tokenized' on the public ledger. This means that any real-world asset can digitized and represented by digital coins. The most obvious use case of this are stablecoins, which are cryptoassets backed by Fiat currencies such as the US Dollar (USD). Any other assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate can also be tokenized.
- Investment: Certain coins function primarily as an investment asset, largely serving to provide financial returns to holders. These kinds of coin are also known as security tokens, and represent a share of the underlying profits generated by blockchain. Security tokens are fast becoming a preferred coin structure, due to their elevated credibility in comparison with unregulated ICOs. For example, this could be in the form of an equity stake for the business, with holders being granted dividends, similar to that of a stock or share.
It is important to note that a cryptocurrency can comprise various combinations of the above specified functions. This means that a coin is not necessarily confined to one specific function, but can simultaneously be a currency, a utility coin, and also represent an asset.
Coins vs Tokens
Moving deeper into the realm of cryptocurrencies, there is a fundamental difference between a coin and a token, terms that are both often used synonymously to represent a cryptocurrency.
On a technical level, coins are cryptocurrencies that have their own native blockchain. (See the section below for a description of Blockchain.) For example, Bitcoin has its own independent blockchain where all transactions involving Bitcoin are recorded on the Bitcoin ledger. Other coins with their own natively-developed blockchain include Ethereum, Ripple and EOS.
Alternately, tokens are a representation of a particular asset or utility that usually resides on top of another blockchain. This means that instead of "reinventing the wheel" by creating their own native blockchain, some cryptocurrency projects leverage existing blockchains, using their own infrastructure and tools, and issuing their own tokens. The most popular blockchain platform on which cryptocurrency projects tend to issue their own token is Ethereum, on which 94 of the top 100 publicly traded tokens are built.
Blockchain: Technology That Powers Cryptocurrency
Blockchain is the technology behind cryptocurrencies, and is defined as a shared ledger that records all transactions, which is controlled by a distributed global network of computers. The renowned revolutionary features of cryptocurrencies – transparency, immutability, being decentralized – are a direct effect of blockchain technology's ground-breaking innovation. Prior to the creation of Bitcoin and blockchain, digital currencies were easy to hack and replicate. Blockchain is considered highly innovative as it solves the long-standing issues of centralized digital coins, by facilitating a common record of truth between all participants in the network. There is no central authority that manages the records or that have any say in the network; every computer in the decentralized network maintains a replicated copy of the unified database of transactions to prevent a single point of failure.
Every cryptocurrency transaction that occurs involves two main parties:
- Sender and Receiver: Users that send cryptocurrencies to each other
- Miners: Individuals in the network that validate and secure the transaction
Miners hold an important role in securing the network. They validate transactions using cryptographic techniques, and are rewarded for their work in the native coin. In the greater scale of things, the blockchain itself is the infrastructure that supports the cryptocurrencies within the network. Blockchain technology has many applications, above and beyond being a medium of exchange, such as with Bitcoin.
Applications of Blockchain Technology
There are numerous use cases for blockchain technology that can be used to positively impact our lives:
- Smart Contracts: One of blockchain technology's ground-breaking functionalities is that it allows the creation of smart contracts. Smart contracts are self-automated, programmable contracts in the digital world. This eliminates the need for third parties required for traditional contracts, and automates the entire process, thereby streamlining the work flow and significantly reducing costs.
- Data Storage: Distributed cloud storage is an exciting application that allows anyone to store their data in an affordable, secure and fast environment. Instead of relying on centralized companies to store and manage the data, users can leverage on decentralized storage solutions to keep their data safe and also earn incentives along the way.
- Digital Identity: When it comes to digitizing such sensitive data as personal identity, there are numerous risks that must be considered to ensure that someone's identity does not fall into the wrong hands. Blockchain offers a wide range of solutions for the authentication of identity in a secure, enduring, and irrefutable manner.
- Supply Chain: Blockchain can streamline the entire supply chain, which is accustomed to legacy systems that are slow, inefficient and largely a manual process. Having the ability to proactively provide digitally permanent, auditable and transparent records for all stakeholders within the system would offer far greater efficiency and accountability. This would allow you to track your ordered goods transparently, from the beginning of the process until the time you receive them.
There are many more ways in which blockchain technology could disrupt the status quo. As long as there is sufficient data, a blockchain is equipped to handle and streamline the entire workflow process.
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are separate but related concepts which are often misunderstood. Blockchains are the underlying technology that serves as the fundamental infrastructure for cryptocurrencies to operate on, while cryptocurrencies are representation of value that can be transferred from one party to another.

Alanis Morisette's Husband Shows Off Newborn Son In Sweet Instagram Video
The singer welcomed her third child, Winter Mercy Morissette-Treadway, with husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway on Thursday, Aug. 8
Alanis Morissette's new baby boy is less than a week old and already too cute to handle!
The singer welcomed her third child, Winter Mercy Morissette-Treadway, with husband, Mario "Souleye" Treadway, on Thursday, Aug. 8.
Morissette, 45, announced the happy news on Instagram Monday alongside a black-and-white photo of the sleeping newborn, who she had at home like the couple's older two children.
"He's here. ✨🙌🏻🙏🏻❤ Winter Mercy Morissette-Treadway. #8/8/19," Morissette captioned the image. "#mywholelifeidreamedoflovingyouthree #😭❤"
Mario, 39, shared the same picture Monday and posted again on Wednesday about the newborn in an adorable video.
The father of three shared the sweet clip featuring himself, Winter and his older son Ever Imre, 8½.
Mario begins the shot with himself before panning down to Winter, who is wide-eyed while resting on his father's lap, and then over to Ever who flashes a big smile.
"Hanging with the boys…..❤🐯🦁❤," Mario wrote of the video.
Morissette and her husband are also parents to 3-year-old daughter, Onyx Solace.
The "Ironic" singer, who's currently working on new music, first shared her happy news on March 25.
Making the announcement on social media, the mom of three shared a black-and-white snapshot of herself showing off her noticeable baby bump under a long-sleeved turtleneck while singing into a microphone.
"So much NEWness … ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻," she captioned the reveal.
Morissette and her husband, who tied the knot in May 2010 and celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary while awaiting their third child's birth, welcomed son Ever on Christmas Day 2010, while his little sister Onyx made them a family of four in June 2016.
The "You Learn" singer has been candid about motherhood since first becoming a parent, opening up to PEOPLE in September 2017 about the devastating postpartum depression she suffered after the births her older children.
"There are days I'm debilitated to the point where I can barely move," the Grammy winner said at the time. "As a kid, I imagined having children and being with an amazing partner. This is a whole other wrench I didn't anticipate."

After all, in his latest diktat to the people residing within the city limits, only if they adhere to his legally questionable mandate will they have the opportunity to "get more freedoms."
As reported by KTLA-TV (video below), Garcetti plainly told the people;
Ostensibly, Garcetti has never heard the words "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…" If he has, he certainly doesn't agree with them.
Have your mask with you leave your house and, as long as you're not doing a solitary activity, or with your own household, put that mask on always now and that is a requirement.
That will help us get more freedoms.

'Peer-to-peer naloxone' project to give street access to the medicine
A pilot scheme that will provide the overdose reversal medicine, naloxone, to those who need it on the streets could be extended across the UK.
The 12-week scheme will involve a team of people, who have experience of drug issues, taking naloxone out on to the streets to give to opiate users, while training them in how to use the medicine.
The 'peer-to-peer naloxone' project, which has been launched by the drug and alcohol charity Addaction, is a model for naloxone distribution that means people do not have to rely on access to treatment services to recieve the medicine.
The scheme, launched in Redcar and Cleveland in the north east of England on 4 November 2019 and supported by Cleveland Police. Addaction plans to roll out the scheme in all of its services across the UK.
"Naloxone is easy to use, relatively inexpensive and can be the difference between life and death," said Rachel Britton, director of pharmacy at Addaction.
"We know that people outside of structured drug treatment are most likely to die of a drug-related cause, so peer-to-peer naloxone is a 'no brainer'. This is an exciting first step to the scheme being rolled [out] across all of Addaction's services."
Figures from the Office for National Statistics, published in August 2019, show that drug-related deaths in England and Wales are at record levels. The north east of England has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in England and Wales with a recorded 96.3 deaths per million people.
In July 2019, the NHS funded a project to explore whether pharmacists in Scotland could provide naloxone for patients taking prescription opioids.

Problems with breast-feeding
It is great to solve a problems with breast-feeding rightly away, so soon arise.Nipples are sore, cracked or bleed. Mild pain is rule at first, but severe pain or irritation - frequently a sign of wrong position while feeding a newborn. Master a technique of proper feeding, and in addition:First, let's less painful breasts;Before you pick up away a chest, put your hands on a corners of a child's mouth;Warm milk is sufficient healing, so squeeze out a little milk to a nipples after feeding and let it dry;Do not bath a breasts with soap and water is sufficient.Chest swell. This is rule betwixt the 3-rd and fifth time following birth - however the breasts produce natural milk. A swelling need subside in daily or two because of frequent feeding, but also:Put a hot compress on a fresh earlier feeding to stimulate a outflow of milk;If a chest is too hard Decant some milk breast pump or by mitt, until it becomes softer - otherwise the baby will not be able to suck accurately;If pain or swelling strong and you get a fever, seek medic attention immediately, it may be a sign of mastitis.Milk itself is leaking. This is normal, the aging body adapts to lactation. Lactation is stabilized 'tween a 2nd and 4th months after supply. Earlier apply wipes or pads. When, upon a feeding of a second fresh starts to flow, apply a clean wiper to soak up the milk is poured.Natural milk stands out with difficulty. Sometimes alone a few min later a child will take a warm, may cause an outflow of natural milk.Create a warm compress on the breast or put a hot shower before feeding.Massage the natural towards the nipple.Relax, listen to music or light a candle during a feeding.Natural milk is released too quickly and abundantly. If a child almost choked with a strong jet, subtract it from the chest. Decant a 1-st, less nutritious natural milk, let a baby suck milk far, completely emptying the warm. For a one time alone one warm feeding, no question how great a temptation to propose any girl. Similar posts:Child. Feeding newbornBaby. LactationHardening of infants.

1. Remove a brutal regime that has systematically targeted and killed its own population, including Assyrians.
2. Remove the excuse for the sanctions, which are hurting the Iraqi people, not Saddam. Note, please don't argue about why the sanctions were placed in the first place. It was a good idea at first, but obviously the intended effect has not been realized. The UN and the US cannot simply say "we were wrong", there must be a face-saving way of removing the sanctions.
xxx Why not argue? The intended effect of the sanctions was to weaken the *people* of Iraq, either by death or lack of resources.
3. Remove support for terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. This is not a stable regime, it is a band of merciless thugs who would not hesitate one second to cause mass destruction if given the means to do so.
xxx Hey, Peter! Guess what??? You're pretty unstable yourself! & the way you treat people on AINA shows what a little tyrant you are.
4. Remove Saudi Arabia's support for terrorism. Yes, by going into Iraq, which has the second largest oil reserves in the world, and securing the oil, the US will be in a position to confront Saudi Arabia, which is the largest supporter of Islamic extremism and terrorism.
xxx & da-da-dah!!! You have the world's biggest supporter of terrorism, the US gov't, in charge of vast quantities of the one resource the industrialized world can't live w/out!
5. Introduce a democratic model of government into the Middle East.
xxx That'd be great if people knew what the hell a democracy was around here.
My hunch is we are looking at a very long involvement on the part of the US, on the order of 10-20 years.
xxx Hell no. The US can't afford that. My hunch is that you're incredibly constipated.
I think this is their strategy to fight terrorism.
xxx Shows you can't think.
First secure an oil supply, and Iraq has the second largest reserves in the world, second, remove the revenue source that is funding Islamic terrorism, and that would be Saudi Arabia. Eight weeks after 9/11/02, the Bush administration announced that it would immediately stop government funding for research into improving gasoline engine efficiency, and take that same money and divert it all into funding research for hydrogen fuel powered cars. Can you read between the lines? No oil revenue for Arabs/Muslims, no money to support terrorism. This administration is sharp.
xxx The administration isn't sharp. The military strategists in the Pentagon are... & they're mean, to boot.

WordPress Training Adelaide
Our WordPress training Adelaide one on one consulting teaches local businesses the valuable skill sets that help you create and manage your WordPress website for your business. Although WordPress can be picked up by attending WordPress Meetup Groups, we recommend only learning what is relevant to your business.
The reason why we focus on what is relevant is that there is so much in the WordPress ecosystem that unless you are a developer, it is impracticable to learn every specific thing to know about WordPress is that it makes getting started with WordPress a never-ending goal.
You don't need to know how to write PHP, HTML, CSS or Javascript to run a reliable WordPress website
The beauty of WordPress is how simple and easy it is to use without a huge learning curve. Users from less technical background may struggle more than others, but the average person can learn to use WordPress. We recommend 20 uninterrupted hours to be comfortable with enabling you to use WordPress at a competent level that allows you to save time and money.
Although we provide web design services and love building websites for our clients, we like businesses to be independent and not reliant on having to e-mail us for small minor changes on their website. It costs you money having to pay a company like us to do it, but it also costs you time to bounce e-mails back and forth to get it done.
We will gladly help you with your WordPress website regardless, but we love our clients enough to ultimately want the best for their business and teaching our clients how to use the #1 content management system for websites is important to us. The benefit of learning how to use WordPress is you get to have more power of your site, and you will be able to make changes using WYSIWYG tools and do things like install an e-commerce plugin and set up your store. You may be okay spending hours setting up your store the way you want than getting someone else to do it for you. And as usual, if you decide to build your store and you struggle to finish it, we are happy to work with you to complete it.
Some clients may approach us and want us to let them build the layout, but they want to implement their store or vice versa. We believe in being as flexible as we can, which allows us to work within most budget constraints for any business.
Key benefits of our WordPress Training Adelaide consulting
- An affordable solution for businesses on how to learn to use WordPress for the first time.
- Save website development costs by learning skills that allow you to manage your own website
- Learn to build your own website from scratch with our help using WYSIWYG tools
- We can take over the management of the website if you decide later or for a short period of time if you want to offload your website changes.
- We are flexible to offer hourly rates so you only have to pay us when you need our support.
- We also provide Australian web hosting services
- WebJex offers local SEO services to help you rank your website on search engines.

A visit with First Drop at Home of the Brave, the Barossa – another revolution
Former St Hallett boys Matt Gant (winemaker) and John Retsas (marketeer, pictured) are "the players" behind First Drop wines. With a Shiraz named Mother's Milk and a Cabernet called Mother's Ruin, I reckon Dr Freud would have plenty to say about the pair.
But personal psychology aside, there's no question that they're helping kick into touch any number of preconceptions about Australian wine. So there's no kowtowing to tradition or 100 point Behemoths in this camp. It's all about pushing boundaries varietal and (sub)-regional and tickling both ribs and taste buds with innovatively packaged, generous but drinkable "slurpy" wines which are expressive of place and region. Pretty neat prices too.
Their confident range plays fast and loose with a heap of alternative varieties, Iberian and Italian – an Adelaide Hills Arneis and Barossa Sparkling Trincadeira are but two examples. It also encompasses three Barossa single vineyard Shiraz, each from a different district (Ebenezer, Seppeltsfield and Greenock) and, at the pinnacle, The Cream Shiraz, a traditional Barossa Valley district blend.

It's all about pushing boundaries varietal and (sub)-regional and tickling both ribs and taste buds with innovatively packaged, generous but drinkable "slurpy" wines which are expressive of place and region. Pretty neat prices too.
You'll find First Drop wines at The Settlers Tavern, Margaret River, which has won The Gourmet Traveller Best Pub Restaurant List three years running. Co-owner Karen Gough is a fan and the name came up when I interviewed her recently for a feature on Barossa Shiraz. Her description of Mothers Milk Shiraz nails the First Drop style, which she describes as "soft, textured, balanced – not a sledge hammer – a good example of the diverse expressions now being produced in the Barossa – its really so juicy you can drink on its own."
Here are my notes on the range and make sure you check out their website. It's fun and informative and I particularly like the fact that their technical fiches provide information about the vineyards from which the wines are sourced. It really gives the lie to the idea that the Barossa Valley (and its wines) are one dimensional – as my July trip brought home, it's not just a "floor." Single vineyard ranges like First Drop's 100 case Fat of the Land label, first made in 2005, really help to lift that off the page.
First Drop Bella Coppia Arneis 2010 (Adelaide Hills)
This wine is sourced from two vineyards just over the Barossa GI borders in Kersbrook (c. 8 year old vines) and Kupito (c. 10 yo vines). It's subtly perfumed, bright and silky with ripe citrus and pear fruit and a touch of fennel going through the finish. Though its ripe acidity and fruit intensity give it an Australian thumbprint, its freshness, lightness and flavour spectrum reveal good varietal typicity too. I subsequently enjoyed a glass or two over lunch at Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh – perfect with fishcakes and homemade tartare sauce.
First Drop The Big Blind Nebbiolo Barbera 2009 (Adelaide Hills)
Gant came across this varietal blend while working stints at Ceretto in Piedmont and, recognising that the addition of Barbera made for a more drinkable wine better suited to the Australian palate, came up with The Big Blind, a blend of 65% Nebbiolo and 35% Barbera. Sourced from Caj's vineyard at 340m above sea level near Kersbrook in the northern Adelaide Hills there's plenty of varietal typicity here from its palish ruby/garnet hue to its roses, savoury liquorice and incense spice (the Nebbiolo) to its sweet cinnamon-edged fleshy core of plum (the Barbera). Aged in older French oak barrels for 15 months, the tannins are ripe but present. Lots to like about this.
First Drop Half & Half 50:50 Shiraz/Monastrell 2009 (Barossa)
No prizes for guessing the varietal split but you could equally call this wine body and soul. The Shiraz brings the body – a generous mid-palate of sweet ripe but juicy red fruits, while the Monastrell, the soul, gives a little more food for thought with its savoury leather 'n spice and firmer tannic presence. It's aged for around 18 months in 100% French oak, around 10% new. Good texture. Well done.
First Drop Mother's Ruin Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 McLaren Vale
Though it's a little callow at this early stage, there's an appealing classicism to this early-picked Cabernet which Retsas describes as "an ode to traditional lunchtime claret." A violet scented nose and palate has a juicy core of cedar dusted blackcurrant fruit with an attractive stalky edge and sweet vanilla notes. The finish is a touch grippy in a good way. With a bit of bottle age, I expect this will show a bit more spit and polish without losing its edge. Hope so, I like its corners and lack of obviousness.
First Drop Minchia Montepulciano 2008 (Adelaide Hills)
It's off to the Adelaide Hills again to Caj's vineyard near Kersbrook for another Italy meets Australia wine, this time a Montepulciano. Soft, round and succulent initially this inky violet-scented red seems a bit of a smoothie with its sweet core of summer pudding fruit, but zingy bright bilberries and hint of dried herbs make for a juicy, persistent, pixelated finish. Super drinkable.
First Drop JR Gantos 2009 (McLaren Vale)
With its black olive and mocha edge black currant and berry fruit JR Gantos smacks of a more trad McLaren Vale Cab, but then 5% Touriga Nacional brings a touch of lift with its rock rose perfume. Maybe it needs time, but the wine seemed to slip, as it were, between two stools so I failed to get a hold of it or it of me. One to review.
First Drop Pintor Tempranillo 2009 (Barossa)
From just south of Rosedale in the south west of the Barossa this is one of the first vineyards picked and Retsas and Gant like to pick Tempranillo early "to get the florals and tannins in balance." It's a plush but well balanced wine with sweet vanilla edged plum, earthy raspberry fruit and violet top notes. Though aged in French barrels (40% new) for 24 months, the oak is well integrated and tannins long and supple. Seductive.
First Drop Mother's Milk Shiraz 2009 (Barossa)
First Drop make 6 different styles of Barossa Shiraz. For Retsas, their common ground is drinkability – he says they definitely don't want to make high octane styles; elegance and restraint are the watchwords. No more so than for Mother's Milk, the baby of the range, which he describes as "a soft, slurpy, textured expression of Shiraz." Mostly sourced from 4 vineyards in Gomersal, Greenock, Ebenezer and Seppeltsfield, districts renowned for the richness and balance of their fruit, it's deeply coloured. With an enticing blueberry perfume, it's as the man says, with lashings of bright, juicy blackberry and cherry fruit and smooth as tannins. Aged for 12 months in French oak (5% new).
First Drop Dos Percentos Reserve Shiraz 2008 (Barossa)
The dos percentos takes the form of 2% Tempranillo which Retsas says "fleshes out the mid palate and gives high tone aromatic lift but, unlike Viognier, doesn't give those florals/apricot notes." With fruit drawn exclusively from the north west Barossa (Ebenezer, Greenock and Seppeltsfield), the so-called "power end," it's a deeply coloured brooding Shiraz. An involving palate of inky black fruits, molasses, dark chocolate/mocha and warm earth is supported by ripe but firm tannins and vanilla oak (it's aged in 50% new oak, 75% French, 25% US). Powerful stuff.
First Drop Fat of the Land Greenock Shiraz 2008 (Barossa Valley)
Grapes are sourced from Shawn's vineyard. Just north east of Greenock in the north west of the Barossa, it's located at 330m above sea level on clay with ironstone. The wine is aged in new French oak on the lies for 24 months. There's a funky edge to the nose and a hint of rusty nail, soon forgotten as you're steeped in waves of juicy mulberry, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, star anise and sweet cinnamon. Though chunky through the mid-palate, firm tannins make for a tapering finish and remind you there's plenty of gas in the tank. Resist temptation and hold onto this for as long as you can.
First Drop Fat of the Land Ebenezer Shiraz 2008 (Barossa Valley)
Grapes are sourced from Anthony's vineyard. The 20 year old vineyard in Ebenezer in the far north of the Barossa is located at 296m above sea level on deep red clay. With big differences between the day and night time temperature, it's a late ripening site and the wine is fulsome, rich and succulent with sweet perfumed blueberry and blackberry fruit and supple tannins. The wine is aged in new French oak on the lies for 24 months and here, the fruit mops up the oak with ease. Opulent without being overbearing, it's a hedonistic treat; approachable now and will go for 10 years plus.
First Drop Fat of the Land Seppeltsfield 2008 (Barossa Valley)
Grapes are sourced from Northy's vineyard. It's located in a gully to the south west of Seppeltsfield in the west of the Barossa at 245m above sea level on clay over limestone. Retsas tells me this relatively low site nonetheless enjoys cool nights because cool air is trapped in the gully. Plushly upholstered with concentrated blueberry and mulberry fruit, long, lithe tannins carry a seemingly endless finish laced with heady coconut (35% US oak), amping up the hedonistic factor. It effortlessly combines the opulence and structure of its predecessors and, though approachable now (with a knife and fork), I reckon it'll keep going strong for 15 years plus.
First Drop The Cream 2008 (Barossa)
The Cream is, as the name suggests, la creme de la creme – a barrel selection comprising fruit sourced from Seppeltsfield (43%) ,Ebenezer (29%) and Greenock (28%). As they say, the whole (blend) is greater than the sum of its parts and The Cream is certainly more complex and ageworthy than the three Fat of the Land Shiraz. Its dense concentration of tight knit but very juicy black currant and berry fruit is nuanced with dried sage, eucalypt and dried spice notes. The tannins are, as yet, chewy. In terms of drinkability this youthful wine is positively unevolved. In terms of the Barossa, it's a postively evolved wine for its brightness and purity of fruit. Do not touch for five years, then take pleasure watching it grow up over the next decade or two.
A glimpse at what 2011 holds
Retsas is not the only one to rate Cabernet in 2011, but he reckons that McLaren Vale has produced "the best yet – perfumed, elegant and lifted."
The Arneis was picked early this year at 11.5 baume and Retsas says "it looks sensational."
Nebbiolo was a game of two halves – the first pick great, but it became progressively difficult (click here for a video about the Adelaide Hills' race with botrytis in 2011 which also explains why they'll be no First Drop Chardonnay in 2011).
He describes the performance of Barossa Shiraz as "solid" but says they'll probably be no single vineyard wines because "there just won't be the concentration to make big styles." So expect Mothers Milk and Mothers Ruin to benefit from "declassified fruit."
Tank samples of McLaren Vale Touriga Nacional (sappy and rock rose perfumed) and especially Graciano (peppery and violet scented) both looked lifted, fresh and refined.
Home of the Brave NV Sparkling Barossa Trincadeira
As I left the cellar, Retsas handed me a bottle of this wine, which is made in partnership with Tim Smith Wines. Trincadeira is a thin-skinned Portuguese variety which thrives in the Alentejo's southerly warm and dry climate. First Drop's winemaker Matt Gant has worked in the Alentejo at Azamor and, no doubt, swiftly cottoned on to the fact it just might work in the Barossa too. Aside from the animating sparkle (!), it certainly exhibits similar characteristics to its sweet and sour palate, with savoury dried fig and sweet plum, a warm earthiness and, more Barossa, a touch of Kalua. Six years in the making, the (old) oak-aged base wine was sourced from the 2005-2009 vintages and aged on lees during the second ferment in bottle for 18 months. 13.5% I reckon a good partner for BBQ'd spare ribs.
