Lisa Stickley Studio Children's Books Review
Lisa Stickley Studio Children's Books Review
Lisa Stickley is an award-winning designer, author and illustrator who started her career as a printed textile designer, training at Central Saint Martins and The Royal College of Art. Soon after graduation, she founded her label Lisa Stickley and sold some of her first products to Paul Smith, Designers Guild and the Cross. Since then, her distinctive work has led to collaborations worldwide with famous big brands and shops, including Burberry, Harrods, Liberty, Tate, Selfridges, Heals, John Lewis, Boots, Debenhams and Japanese stores including Ships, Hankyu & Isetan.
Lisa had a break from business to have her two daughters and they sparked her passion for writing and illustrating for children and she now has a lovely range of children's books available. The stories are inspired by her children and Lisa's quirky tales are told from a fresh point of view and the books are full of colours, stunning patterns, humour, charm and lovable, playful characters.
We are big bookworms in this family and now proud owners of three of Lisa Stickley's children's books: Dress Like Mummy, The New Baby and My New Room. All the books come signed by Lisa too which is a lovely touch and you also get a complimentary signed doodle with every book that can make a cute little artwork for your home.
Dress Like Mummy is a gorgeous, large hardback book about a girl called Poppy who loves to dress like her mummy who has lots of fun and colourful clothes. Each day, they wear something that matches in colour or that's the same print. The book celebrates this special part of a mother and daughter relationship and it's just lovely!
I think most girls go through a phase of wanting to be like their mummy and naturally clothes are a big part of it all. My eldest often likes to wear the same colours or similar clothes to what I'm wearing and it's a really sweet thing.
The book is stunning with its synthetic fabric cover and funky contemporary illustrations that both children and adults will love. This is my eldest daughter's favourite book out of the three Lisa Stickley books we have. I think she relates to it a lot and she's also very fond of colours and matching things.
The New Baby is all about the adventure that having a new baby in the family is — from the older sibling's perspective. In this sweet story, we hear Edith's story of being a big sister and her first year with baby brother Albert — from his arrival into the world to his very first birthday party, we follow every month and his developments and their sibling relationship.
It's such a charming book and it shows how the sibling love changes and grows into the amazing and wonderful thing it is. It's a great book to read to new big siblings to show them how the next year with a new sibling might be. I think this one is my favourite because the story is sweet and sibling relationships are very special to me.
My New Room is a truly unique book! The character in this book is also Edith and she's just made a big move into a new house, so she now has a new bedroom. To help settle her in, her toys are arranged around the home and this book is mainly about the toys.
We get a guided tour through the room via the toys and how they help keep the room a safe, tidy and happy place. It's a fun perspective and very different from other children's books!
All these books plus a few more and lots of other quirky products are available from the Lisa Stickley Studio website.
These books were provided to us for this review. As always, all my reviews are 100% honest and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

When I recently enherited my grandpa's reloading supplies I also got a bunch of powder, some of which looks like good powder to use in a .270 (H4831). This powder is atleast from the 80's but could be from the 60's. At what point does powder go bad? Is it dangerous to use?

Home ❯ News ❯ Price of Bitcoin Drops Thousands In Less Than 24 Hours
Price of Bitcoin Drops Thousands In Less Than 24 Hours
How to buy Bitcoin? It's a question many Canadian online casino players have been asking themselves lately. And with the cryptocurrency skyrocketing to new heights daily, it's an understandable sentiment. Just like an online casino jackpot, no one wants to miss out.
[BTCPricePlunge shortcode="BTCPricePlunge"]
But as prices soared higher and higher, regulators and analysts alike began wondering if it all wasn't just a huge speculation bubble. While many scoffed at the notion, a recent gigantic selloff is causing some people to begin questioning if they may have been right.
Bitcoin Value Drops Several Thousand Dollars
The selloff happened on December 22, and saw Bitcoin drop to around $11,000 — a loss of one-third of its value in a single day. And although there was a slight rally at the end of the downswing, the frenetic activity saw the price stabilize at $12,000 — a full 25% less than what it had been on Thursday.
Of course, those who had purchased Bitcoin before the start of this year are still making a handsome profit on their purchase. Overall, the price is up more than 1,000% since January. However, the increased volatility of such large absolute numbers is creating a larger and larger financial rollercoaster for those involved.
How Much Is Bitcoin Worth?
The value of Bitcoin has increased with its increasing appearance in the mainstream. One of those areas includes online casinos. Countless new rooms have started taking Bitcoin and other crypto currencies as acceptable deposit and withdrawal options over the last year. Today, many online casinos offer players banking options in the exact same way they do for fiat currencies.
But as volatility increases, it's not entirely unfair to say that owning Bitcoin is nearly as much of a sweat as playing progressive slots. Already there have been stories of players winning Bitcoin jackpots, only to then see the value of their score fluctuate thousands or tens of thousands of dollars from one hour to the next.
Which begs the question: is Bitcoin worth it? For those who are adrenaline junkies, the answer is undoubtedly yes. However, if these massive price swings happen more frequently, the effect it might have on further adoption by online casino players remains to be seen.

Based in Brewerton, NY, Noel Bonk of BonkWerx is a coach who cares about making you into a balanced, well-rounded athlete. A Zwift user since the beta days, he uses it personally to overcome the challanges of New York's snowy winters, and uses it with his clients as well.
Noel has also lived the life of the "time-crunched cyclist" and now as a coach works to help his clients maximize their time efficiency. Read below to learn more about him and his coaching philosophy.
Tell me about your cycling background. What sort of riding have you done, for how long, etc?
My interest in cycling goes back to when I was just a kid racing BMX and Freestyle. I got into road racing and cyclo-cross a bit late (in my twenties) after suffering a weight lifting injury. Fast forward the last 17 years and I've done just about every event you can do on the bike, ranging from stage races to grand fondos. I do mostly focus on criterium racing though, as they play well into my strengths on the bike. My background additionally extends into 10 years of race directing and amateur race team management.
When and why did you begin coaching?
Prior to coaching I spent the last 15 years running several start-up companies while trying to balance family time and training time. I definitely lived the life of the "time crunched cyclist!" Coaching has always been a part of who I am, and started as a way to give back and grow the sport I love. Unofficially I started over a decade ago by coaching and mentoring friends and teammates new to racing. Officially however, I started my coaching business a year ago and I am currently a USAC Level 2 and Training Peaks Certified Coach. Every day I feel fortunate for being able to do what I love and help cyclists reach and exceed their goals.
Every coach has particular philosophies which define their methods. How would you describe yours?
I believe in creating a balanced well-rounded athlete. This means training my clients to work on all aspects of performance including sport-specific energy systems, bike skills, tactics, strength and mental training.
I like to say I coach with both an art and science approach, using a combination of open communication and feedback as well as analytical data tools. This helps me understand the athlete not only based on their numbers but on an individual level. I use that information to design training that is personal and structured but also maintains flexibility throughout a season.
Do you use Zwift personally, and if so what for?
I was on Zwift as a beta user, but really started to get into it regularly last winter. I live in Central New York which sees a substantial amount of snow and cold in the winter. For me, Zwift has become the perfect partner in helping to beat back the boredom that sometimes occurs when doing longer indoor rides. Based on my schedule I do mostly ride it solo, but I like to jump into group rides and races when training allows.
Also, locally here in NY we are using Zwift to bring our community of cyclists together for some "friendly" winter rides and races. In just a months time we've grown our group, comprised mainly of riders from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse to 400+ members.
How is Zwift a useful tool from a coach's perspective?
Zwift for coaching opens up all sorts of interesting training opportunities. It's an excellent tool for keeping athletes motivated and engaged during the winter season or when they don't have time to fit in a group ride or race. Creating structured workouts on Zwift is also a great way to help athletes stay on track with the proper efforts while maximizing time efficiency.
If you had just one piece of advice you could share with all Zwifters, what would it be?
Plan a weekly ride with friends! Cycling has a huge social element to it, but you can't always find the time to ride and chat with others – so Zwift is great alternative to stay connected!
"I have been very pleased with the services offered and the personal attention that I have received from Noel. In the past I have had experience working with other professional trainers. I prefer Noel's approach to coaching as it has been more tailored to my specific needs and cycling objectives and have also found it to be more challenging. He offers core training, strength training and a considerable amount of feedback with weekly Skype sessions and daily personalized reminders via smartphone."
~Dan Rivers
"This is my fourth season riding under the guidance of Noel Bonk having met when I was virtually a beginner. As I gain knowhow, skill, and fitness Noel understands with knowledge and intuition just what is needed to bring me to that next step. He is a highly organized and prepared "numbers" guy who demonstrates that he can look through the data in the middle of a race or intense training ride to guide his students on the fly. With that said, his training programs are well planned, specific, understandable, and effective. With any question about training, racing, or equipment I know I can count on Coach Bonk."
~Dan Pone
"As a father or two young children, my time available to dedicate to training is very limited. Bonkwerx developed a custom training plan that considered my strengths, fitness level, goals, and schedule. I've noticed considerable improvements in my performance since my training has started and I'm eager for the racing season to begin."
~Ben Freer

Israel Places Seventh With Win Over Puerto Rico in Lacrosse World Championship
Team USA takes title by beating Canada on last-second goal
Zachary Pall led Israel to a seventh-place finish at the Lacrosse World Championships in Netanya by contributing six goals, including the opening score, en route to a 12-1 drubbing of Puerto Rico last Friday.
Daniel Leventhal and Jacob Silberlicht scored two goals each for Israel.
The victory was a bittersweet end to Israel's hosting of the Lacrosse World Championship competition, having had its medal hopes die with a quarterfinal loss to Australia last Wednesday.
Playing in the consolation bracket, Israel fell to Japan 10-9 last Thursday, despite Isaac Paparo scoring a hat trick, with Pall and Leventhal contributing two goals each. That defeat left it in the game for seventh place against Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, Team USA won the championship after a closely fought 9-8 victory over Canada in the final, in which Tom Schreiber scored the winning goal in the final second of regulation.

Winter takes its toll even in the Big Country, when shorter days and seasonal bugscan put a damper on your mood and health. Here are a few clinically-supported wellness tips from the experts, inspired by Prevention magazine, to help you sail through the remaining winter months with joy and vigor.
Wash your hands often!
The flu is an equal opportunity offender this time of year, striking every corner of the country. Protect yourself by washing your hands after being in public places like the grocery store or shopping mall. Always wash hands before eating, and avoid touching your eyes and mouth during the day.
Take frequent stress breaks.
Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more likely to fall victim to the latest virus in circulation. Whether it's taking periodic moments in your day to practice deep breathing, getting some fresh air on your lunch break, or scheduling that laser skin care treatment you've been dreaming about, self-care is the surest path to destressing and maintaining your wellness.
There are a million reasons to exercise. Working your body not only boosts your mood but also decreases your risk for a wide range of diseases. Remember that every little bit counts. If you are overwhelmed at the thought of starting a new exercise regimen, a great place to start is simply by standing more throughout your day. Research indicates that sitting for long periods of time, like at a work desk, can be detrimental to your health and decrease your longevity.
Our mission at Abilene Plastic Surgery and MedSpa is to bring out your very best, and we can't wait to help you look and feel amazing this year! Please call 325.480.0522 or request a personal consultation today.

Touted as one of the longest-running operas of all time, the comedy The Barber of Seville has opened to a Kiwi audience.
The story of the match-making barber has had many nods in pop culture over the years, including Woody Woodpecker in 1944, Bugs Bunny, and Mrs Doubtfire.
First performed in 1816, it was set in a time before people went on their phones to find a companion.
"You had the women coming in to fix their wigs and you had all the men probably at least once a week to have a shave," Morgan Pearse, who plays barber Figaro, said.
"It was the perfect opportunity for Figaro - the best barber in town - to set people up with other people."
Figaro is a very confident, exuberant character, created by composer Gioachino Rossini in just 13 days.
He's got a "healthy level" of self-awareness, Pearse said.
"That's what the aria Largo al factotum is about - he's really selling himself and he's creating his empire," Pearse said.
This New Zealand version is about Figaro setting up his first salon. "His first 'Toni & Guy', called 'Figaro's'," Pearse told Newshub.
The opening of the play in Rome more than 200 years ago was less than ideal.
One singer ended up with a bloodied nose, a stray cat wandered across the stage and refused to leave and several audience members booed.
"Sometimes things do go wrong or they don't go exactly as planned," Pearse said.
"Problem-solving that live on stage is one of my favourite things about performing something live."
This opera promises to bring colour, dynamic performances and laughs.
It opens in Auckland and will head to Wellington and Christchurch.

The Keeshan Lab is a paediatric leukaemia research group with expertise in leukaemic stem cells, mouse models of myeloid and lymphoid leukaemia (AML & ALL), mechanisms of disease and response to novel therapeutics. We are based in the Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre (POGLRC) which works closely with the University of Glasgow, Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre (WWCRC) and the CR-UK Beatson Institute for Cancer Research (BICR), bringing together collaborative basic and clinical cancer research.
Our lab is interested in understanding the biology of normal and leukaemic stem cells during ontogeny, and identifying novel therapeutic targets. The lab uses state of the art retroviral and lentiviral (including CRISPR vectors) transduction and transplantation murine (syngeneic) and human (NSG) in vivo models. The murine models are optimised for stem cell ontogeny and niche interactions (fetal liver through to aged adult), and incorporate a number of AML and ALL models (e.g. TRIB2, MLL-AF9, AML1-ETO, HOX, NOTCH1). In vitro 2D and 3D models using novel surface chemistries are also used and being developed that mimic the stem cell niche for preclinical target validation in primary paediatric and adult AML cells.
Research Themes
Paediatric AML: The appropriateness of the current practice for some cancers to simply extrapolate treatments across the age spectrum is dependent on the assumption that the same aetiology underlies cancer in the young and old. However, significant age related biological differences are recognised in leukaemia aswell as in normal haemopoiesis. There are a number of projects in the lab investigating how the differences in the biology of leukaemia in the young and old, and the response to therapy, are impacted by stem cell age and its niche.
Relapse is the commonest cause of death in children with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The risk of relapse is high and has not improved significantly in the last twenty years. Relapse is due to the persistence of leukaemia stem cells that remain after treatment. In collaboration with Prof Brenda Gibson, Chief Investigator for the international Paediatric AML trial MyeChild 01, opened 2016, we are investigating novel therapies and mechanisms of disease relapse in paediatric AML.
@kkeeshan #keeshanlab #PaediatricAML @POG_LRC @howatfoundation @CwCUk
Tribbles Biology: TRIB proteins are pseudokinases, and adaptor/scaffold proteins linking the proteasome pathway and MAPK signalling in leukaemia. We have shown TRIB proteins to have oncogenic and tumour suppressor properties in myeloid and lymphoid leukaemia. The mechanisms that underlie whether TRIB proteins act as oncogenes or tumour suppressors are a focus of this lab. The mechanism may be linked to TRIB function in cell proliferation, protein degradation, transcriptional regulators (e.g. C/EBPa) and MAPK pathway modulation. There are a number of projects in the lab focused on mechanisms of TRIB leukaemia and developing novel small molecules for the therapeutic targeting of TRIB proteins.

A dessert bar is a great way to add a visually stunning touch to a party of any size! From showers to potlucks, a dessert bar is always a welcome addition, and with a few simple steps you can turn yours from basic to brilliant.
The Theme
The first step is to choose the theme of your dessert bar. If it's for a baby or wedding shower, you should consider colors, animals and fonts. You should start with the invitation and incorporate your theme in the design. From there you can start planning your décor. Here a few ideas below: all blue sweets for a boy's baby shower or an ice cream sandwich bar!
The Sweet Stuff
Now that you have chosen your theme, it's time to pick out the good stuff… the sweets! Since your dessert bar will include lots of choices, you can cut back on the amount of each item. A good ratio is 3-4 small desserts per person from a selection of 5-6 different items. For instance, if you are expecting a group of 15, you'll want to have about 75 items. I know it sounds like a lot but think about it this way — it's roughly 2 dozen small cookies (2 different flavors), 2 dozen small cupcakes (2 different flavors) and 2 dozen candies. Remember – not all of these needs to be baked at home, you can purchase the items and display them nicely!
Set The Mood
Now that you've picked your theme and sweets, let's make it look special! Decorating the bar is almost as important as the desserts themselves. From the plates to the flowers, each item adds to the décor. It's fun to mix it up with platters of various sizes and heights so everything will be in view. If you do not have tabletop risers, simply use a box or stack of books covered by a tablecloth! Balloons & streamers are an easy and budget friendly way to add big decor without the cost. Don't forget to label each item – you can print these at home on cardstock.
Here are a few dessert recipes that I love!
P.S. – you can turn my Red Velvet Cake recipe into mini cupcakes at home. 😉

What exactly is the question and what are you trying to do? You can just change the extension using rename in File Explorer if you fiddle with your Folder Properties in Windows. Or you can do it from the command line or Powershell.

Looks like the target computer has a bogus file association so that all EXE files are associated with Notepad. That link has files to help you restore the proper associations.
Read it thoroughly, and make a backup of your registry (or better yet, the whole drive if you can) before doing anything!!!

Christmas may be over but the festivities are not behind us!
Around 400 Greenfields residents and their families attended free pantomimes funded by our three Greenfields Residents Groups.
Children cheered, jeered and whooped as Treasure Island was performed by Chaplins Pantos at the Public Hall in Witham, Empire Theatre in Halstead, and Braintree Arts Theatre.
The events were funded by our Mid, North and South Greenfields Residents Groups, who are given annual budgets to improve their communities. Residents donated generously to Farleigh Hospice, our Charity of the Year.
David White, Neighbourhood Manager at Greenfields, said: "Our Greenfields Residents Groups decided that they wanted to celebrate Christmas by giving our residents the opportunity to have a fun outing with their family and friends. We know that many cannot afford to take their families along to a panto, so the groups were thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity.
"We've had really good feedback and thank the fantastic performers and venues for their help in making this happen. We hope to do something similar during the next festive season."

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg's crusade against soda has met another failure, as Chicago voted to end its taxation Wednesday.
Cook County commissioners voted 15-2 to repeal the 1-cent per ounce tax on soda, diet soda, sweetened coffees and teas, and sports drinks. The editorial board of the Chicago Tribune called the tax "highway robbery." The tax added a $1.28 tax for a gallon of zero-calorie iced tea.
The vote is the latest in a series of losses for Bloomberg, who has poured millions into anti-soda campaigns.
The former New York City mayor spent at least $5 million on ads supporting the Cook County tax and vowed to spend "whatever it takes" to reelect commissioners who supported it.

I have purchased the Windscribe VPN as a Shareware offer for about $55 lifetime. Unfortunately it drops my internet speed to anywhere between 0.5mbs to – if I am lucky – up to 10mbs. Usually about 5mbs. Also, worst of all, the Windscribe cuts off and loses my connection, which is awful if I am watching a movie. So, I am seriously considering never using my Windscribe pro subscription by buying a more reliable VPN. I know that AVira is a reputable antivirus company, but is it also great for VPNs? If I buy this will I have a super VPN or will I have the same frustrations that I experience with the Windscribe? Or will Windscribe get better as they get more established???? Or do I have to bite the buck and spend $600 on a VPN that is famous for its high speeds?

I am so excited for this project. Last year in my AP english class, we looked at several ads that tried to be very persuasive and we looked at their rhetorical strategies. Most of them were boring ones that have the same old strategies, but this one was hilarious (and easy to analyze). This was a poster/ad made for Burger Kings in the Singapore markets. Burger King has since said that they hired a foreign advertising agency to produce this ad, and that it does not reflect their feelings and they do not want to exclude anyone by showing this ad. Yet they still kept it going for a good part of 2009 (I may have to double check on that year).
Please keep in mind that this ad is NOT FAKE. It is a real ad, and the description/caption on the bottom is hilarious. Please let me know your reactions to this one because it sure is funny. Aside from the funny aspect to it, I believe that I can effectively analyze the rhetorical strategies of this poster and produce a great report based on this ad. Here it is:

Discussion in 'The War In The Air' started by vespa100, Apr 2, 2017.
The set of co-ordinates in October 1944 (4438N 8020W, 4538N 8042W etc) are around the Toronto area but the ones you posted for April 45 are back in the UK.
Where he has taken his readings on the ground (5231N 0216W) these are the co-ordinates of Halfpenny Green Airfield which was the home of No 3 (Observer) Advanced Flying Unit where he would have been posted after his training in Canada. This is where they would get used to navigating over a country under blackout conditions.
Thanks Snailer great information all this was found at a carboot sale
Hi Snailer the gentlemans train ticket in Canada and writing about being in the rear seat of a tiger moth
Looking at the form entitled Bomber Command Instructors School Students Arrival Report.e.g Lucy must have been posted to a B.C Instructors School...normally this would be the practice after operational experience.
However, the practice was affected by the drawing end of the war. The Air Ministry had already predicted a surplus of aircrew from the summer of 1944 and had taken action to reduce the number of trainee aircrew.
The station is not identified on the form but I think this might be the No 92 Group Instructors School which was based at RAF Silverstone between 15 March 1944 and 15 July 1945.
Other information gleaned from this form is as follows.
OTU training was done at RAF Wing (No 28 OTU) in Buckinghamshire.....Wellington Mark 111s and Mark X...all OTUs had Ansons on strength in addition to the units operational aircraft type
HCU training was done at RAF Swinderby (No 1660 HCU) in Lincolnshire...Stirling equipped
F/O Lucy,as I read the form,was attached to No 15 Squadron from RAF Hixon,(No 30 OTU) near Stafford which suggests a posting to Hixon after HCU training.Normally the posting after HCU would be to a operational bombing squadron but in the rapid rundown of the RAF,such irregular postings took place.
Others, after Pilot and Navigator graduation did not receive a designated role and were regarded as spare bods on a unit but would retain any commissioned status as GD (General Duties). NCO aircrew were treated rather shabbily and some reports show that they were reduced in rank.
At the time,No 15 Squadron was based at RAF Mildenhall (No 3 Group) equipped with the Lancaster Mark 1 and Mark111.
E G Lucy's RAF service record would of course indicate his movements and postings and dovetail into the information revealed on the thread.
Hi Vespa,
The train ticket marked Malton Ontario suggests he was at one of BCATP schools located there. I did find a Sgt. E. G. Lucy, Liverpool England, on a November 1944 graduation list at No.1 AOS, Malton (Anson).
ORB 1 AOS, Feb 44 to April 45 - Image 111 - Heritage Canadiana
No luck so far at finding an ORB for No. 1 EFTS (Moth) at Malton.
Regards ...
Added - Oh shoot I just realized you already have this info in post No. 6.
Malton is roughly located on the current site of Toronto Pearson Int'l Airport
6th line and Britannia BCATP base Malton Airport C1940
I have a Pat Rooney drawing of my father drawn in 1937 when he was just 13. I have seen from posts that Pat came from Essex but my father lived in Blackpool so I don't know how they came together and why he sketched my father. Information about Pat Rooney seems very scarce and any links or addresses included seems to lead to dead ends because of the age of the posts, so any information anybody can add would be very welcome.

Construction industry capacity only operating at roughly 15% in Level 4
Read : 104 times
CAPE TOWN - Some 50 percent of construction industry capacity should be operational in Level 4 of the lockdown, but the actual percentage is much lower because necessary, but lengthy new health and safety administration issues have prevented the companies from getting on site.
In terms of Level 4 of South Africa's phased lockdown, public sector construction is allowed to resume, and government tenders make up about 50 percent of all construction industry tenders, Industry Insight senior economist David Metelerkamp said on Tuesday.
Speaking at an industry webinar hosted by Afrisam, he said that "even though a sizeable chunk of the industry can go back to work it hasn't happened" and he estimated the industry was only currently operating at about 10-15 percent of capacity.
His discussions with contractors revealed that there was no standard or set rules for new health and safety regulations, which posed time and cost problems for construction companies with different sites, and who were doing work for different government authorities and in different regional jurisdictions.
Many construction companies were struggling to get the various health and safety permits for various reasons, before they could return to construction sites, and even though the new measures were necessary, they also involved substantial additional costs and time for the contractors, he said.
Metelerkamp also said that many projects, such as the R35 billion John Dube Mega City project in Ekurhuleni, had been put on hold due to the uncertain investment environment, a trend that was likely to accelerate this year.
"Some contractors have been waiting for two weeks just for confirmation to get back on site," he said.
Building industry activity was expected to be much harder hit than civil engineering this year due to falling consumer demand and incomes this year, as the country battles the Covid-19 pandemic.
Metelerkamp said investment in the building sector was expected to decline by 28.2 percent this year. According to a forecast by FNB property market analyst John Loos, the residential housing market was only expected to recover, in terms of real house price increases, in about 3.5 years time.
Metelerkamp said that in February already, before the Covid-19 virus came to South Africa, the level of residential building plans passed through municipalities had already hit the lowest level since the early 1990's, so the sector had already been entering a recession.
He said the top half of income earners in South Africa were expected to experience a 25 percent decline in incomes this year, and this would likely drive down the demand for new residential building activity, and for commercial building such as for offices and shopping centres.
Home builders were also expected to be the last in the industry to be allowed to resume operations through the lockdown, and were currently designated to be allowed to return to work at Level 2 of the lockdown, possibly only in September, he said.
Activity in the civil construction sector, where most of the work was derived from government projects, was expected to weaken over the longer term due to less funds being available for infrastructure, as government dealt with "massive pressure on the fiscus" from much lower tax revenue, the higher cost of debt and the fact that fiscal stimulus would need to be repaid,
Metelerkamp said President Cyril Ramaphosa had said, right at the beginning of his speech announcing the fiscal stimulus package, that a key government intervention to get the economy going would be through infrastructure investment, but the details of this had not been outlined, as had been suggested by the President.
"We hope to hear more about this in the new Budget expected to be announced by the end of June," said Metelerkamp.

When McDonald's launched their all-day breakfast service, they searched Twitter for people who requested for that and replied to them. Here are a couple – McD replying in 2015, to tweets from 2007 and 2008.
If you thought going back to old tweets and replying to them and get some PR is a great idea, wait till you see what Burger King did!
What Burger King did was even more subtle and simple, but very, very smart! They did not reply to old tweets; they simply 'Liked' them!
Burger King recently started Liking tweets of a LOT of people, from 2009/2010. And the choice of these people was smart too – they were mostly big-ticket celebrities on Twitter with a LOT of followers.
So, when those people noticed Burger King Liking their old tweets, what would they do? They'd feel creeped out, wonder about it… and tweet it! So Burger King is in the limelight, organically, from a lot of celebs who are simply asking why it is liking their old tweets!
So why did Burger King do this? Because they were bringing back something they had in their menu back in 2009/2010 – Funnel Cake Fries! The reason for the gimmick: "some things from 2010 are worth revisiting—like your old tweets. and funnel cake fries. get them now for a limited time".
Very clever thought here! The reason this worked is
Such a disarmingly simple idea – just using Likes on Twitter! Well done, Burger King!
But, that's not exactly how it ended! One influencer (a YouTuber) whose tweets Burger King liked was very upset because, according to him, people like him are not rocket scientists and actually people of average intelligence. And that he doesn't like being 'manipulated' into being unpaid influencers for a brand! His manipulation was tweeting and asking why Burger King Liked his tweets from 2010, for context – something that he did, himself!
Casey Neistat, the YouTuber posted a 7-minute rant on YouTube about how bad he felt that he was 'manipulated'!
And in a stroke of brilliance, instead of simply asking for monetary compensation for his 'manipulation' as per his rate card, he directed that towards charitable causes! He asked Burger King (who he said has already got the benefit of his reach/influence) to work with him to do something for kids in need!
He also seems to have had a change of heart after media outlets started reporting his allegations of 'manipulation'!
But, Burger King noticed all this and reached out to Casey, incidentally.

It's hard to keep up with the short attention plan of a child – but there are videos on Youtube that really get them like Nursery Rhymes. The sad thing is when there's not enough content in one video. So, it pays to search one that can contain an energetic little one:
Nursery Rhymes Vol 6 – Collection of Thirty Rhymes
Posted at Youtube by: APPUSERIES
It's nice to have this kind of video handy in your computer when the young one must settle down already. This is good during afternoon rest for example or when about to take a nap. No more excessive lullaby songs and rocking the crib. Just watch together and savor the pleasant face of that lovable little boy or girl who is obviously fascinated with the show!

NEW YORK, Ny. (Dec. 8, 2017) – Brandi Carlile's new song, "The Mother," is premiering today. Of the song, Carlile explains, "'Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind…' To some, this sounds like the realization of their most sacred dreams—true companionship. For some, this sacrifice is too much to bear and requires its own brand of radical forgiveness. For the most part and for me, it's equal measures of both. I am not just a mother, but it's all that I am."
"The Mother" is the second track unveiled from Carlile's highly anticipated new album "By The Way, I Forgive You," which will be released Feb. 16. Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb and acclaimed musician Shooter Jennings, the album is Carlile's first release in partnership with Cobb's Low Country Sound imprint at Elektra Records.
Already receiving acclaim, the album's first single, "The Joke," recently premiered and was the #1 most added song at AAA radio for two straight weeks. Of the single, NPR Music's Ann Powers asserts, "'By The Way, I Forgive You' takes Carlile and her longtime bandmates, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, into a new space of risk-taking—as well as the emotional stratosphere. 'The Joke,' the first track to be released from 'By The Way,' exemplifies the album's massive ambition. A country-rock aria dedicated to the delicate boys and striving girls born into—and, Carlile insists, destined to triumph over—this divisive time, 'The Joke' offers a stunning vocal performance from Carlile, swathed in warm piano, big drums and a perfect string arrangement."
In celebration of the album, the band will embark on an extensive nationwide tour in 2018 including shows at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom (sold out), Seattle's Moore Theatre (two nights, both sold out), New York's Beacon Theatre (three nights), Boston's Orpheum Theatre (two nights, first night sold out), Chicago's Chicago Theatre and Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. All concert tickets are now on sale.
Recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A, "By The Way, I Forgive You" includes ten new songs written by Carlile and longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth. Of their close relationship, Brandi comments, "The Twins and I have been in a band for so long now. And not just a band, we are literally a family. When you create art with twins, it becomes unclear when I end and where they begin." In addition to Carlile (vocals, guitar, piano), Tim Hanseroth (vocals, bass), Phil Hanseroth (vocals, guitar), Cobb (guitar, percussion) and Jennings (piano, organ), the album features Chris Powell (drums), Josh Neumann (cello), John Mark Painter (French horn) as well as string arrangements and conducting by the late Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, The Rolling Stones).
Over the course of their acclaimed career, the band has released six albums, including 2015's "The Firewatcher's Daughter," which garnered a Grammy nomination for "Best Americana Album." Additionally, earlier this year, they released "Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of the Story (An Album to Benefit War Child)," which features 14 artists covering the songs on their breakthrough album "The Story" with all proceeds benefiting War Child. Artists included on the acclaimed project, which Rolling Stone calls, "tender and powerful," include Dolly Parton, Adele, Pearl Jam, Kris Kristofferson, The Avett Brothers, Margo Price and Jim James as well as a forward written by President Obama.
Most recently, the band performed at the Obama Foundation Summit's inaugural community event (on the personal invitation from President Obama). Curated by Chance the Rapper, other artists involved included Lin-Manuel Miranda, Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe, Gloria Estefan, Andra Day, Nas, The National and Francis & the Lights.
In addition to their work as a band, Carlile and the Hanseroth twins remain committed to social activism and advocacy. Together, they are founders of the Looking Out Foundation, which aims to amplify the impact of music by empowering those without a voice. From neighborhood to nation, the foundation helps fund causes and organizations that often go unnoticed. $1 from every concert ticket sold goes directly toward efforts to support the diverse demographic they aim to serve.

Sammy's Story
Sammy the beagle did not get a great start in life.
He wasn't easy to train, and his original owners "corrected" him by kicking and throwing shoes at him. When that didn't work they decided to get rid of him. Enter Rose and Harold Fries, who rescued Sammy and brought him home.
"Oh boy, did he have bad habits!" Rose says now. "I decided to work with him so he knew this was my house and not his to do whatever he wanted, and within two weeks he was a totally different dog. He knew we loved him but he also learned to listen, too."
The Fries took their other three dogs to the Community Practice Service (CPS), which is run by fourth-year students and overseen by two faculty veterinarians. The service offers primary care—including regular examinations, vaccinations and spay and neuter surgery-- to dogs and cats in the Ithaca area.
Sammy went to the CPS for a check-up and vaccinations shortly after he joined the Fries pack. He still goes to the CPS for routine care.
"We would not think of taking him to any other veterinarian," says Rose. "We have always promoted education and we love to help the vet students learn."
As practitioners at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, CPS students work in a collaborative setting: If a serious medical problem arises, they can consult with veterinarians in specialized fields to ensure that patients receive the most comprehensive care possible. The CPS also provides routine care and spay/neuter surgery for animals at local shelters.
"Sammy and all our other dogs have always received excellent care at Cornell, no matter what their diagnoses were," she adds. "Sammy loves to go to Cornell to see his friends," especially a certain licensed veterinary technician "who always has treats for him."
At 15, Sammy is a different dog from the unruly rescue the Fries adopted in 2002. "You have to go slow with rescues and show them a lot of love, but it is so worth it. Sammy has become a very special dog," says Rose. Her husband recently had a total knee replacement, and Sammy "hasn't left Harold's side since he has had surgery. He is a very loyal dog and we have a lot of love for him.
"We know his time with us is short, and that will be a sad day," she says, "so we enjoy every minute we have with him now!"

CHICAGO – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say it isn't unusual for agents to confiscate contraband like the 32 pounds of rat meat recently seized at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Customs spokesman Steve Bansbach tells the Chicago Tribune all kinds of meats are frequently seized from travelers, including pork and bushmeat, or meat from African wild animals.
The traveler who brought rat meat into the U.S. from the Ivory Coast wasn't fined because he declared the meat at customs. Bansbach says inspectors later determined it was African rodent meat.
The U.S. bars entry of African meats to prevent the spread of African swine fever.
Boston University agricultural historian James McCann says the rodent meat may have been a type of rat sometimes prepared in stews in parts of West Africa.

This week I talk to my friend Chad Leto, He's a cinematographer working for G-Ram films and has worked on documentaries, music videos, and commercials. He's also been the cinematographer with so many projects including an award winning feature film called Parallax. Chad also filmed a hilarious and totally wacky web series called "Don't call it Frisco" about a Boston transplant who moves to San Francisco and has to adjust to the liberal and totally crazy culture of the city. Chad will also tell the crazy disastrous story of his trip to Burning Man this year.

Here is a great way to drive real progress in your contact centre.
How many separate criteria do you have listed on your agents' current QA scorecards? Can't remember off the top of your head?
Your agents probably can't either – and how are they supposed to improve if they don't know exactly what they are working towards?
Streamlining your scorecards into 5-10 actionable points can help drive real change in your contact centre, as agents will understand exactly what is expected of them and won't feel so overwhelmed.
When making your condensed list, think about what is really important to your contact centre. If you pick areas that go beyond basic training (e.g. how to introduce themselves), you can focus on the areas that will drive quality up from good to great.
If you are worried about skipping over compliance issues, you could try separating your quality process into 2 steps – compliance and "wow" factors.

Happy charity!
The Cause
The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate and committed to curing diabetes.
Its mission – to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now – is a testament to the belief that tomorrow is not soon enough to cure those living with diabetes. As the largest and most comprehensive research center dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to develop a biological cure by restoring natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels without imposing other risks.
Researchers have already shown that diabetes can be reversed through islet transplantation, with some study patients living without the need for insulin injections for more than a decade. The Institute is now building upon these promising outcomes by developing the DRI BioHub, an integrated "mini organ" that mimics the native pancreas, containing thousands of insulin producing cells that sense blood sugar levels and produce the precise amount of insulin needed in real time. The Diabetes Research Institute and Foundation were created for one reason – to cure diabetes – which is and will continue to be its singular focus until that goal is reached. For the millions of children and adults affected by diabetes, the Diabetes Research Institute is the best hope for a cure.

Capital Tower Golf Oasis Closes Doors
Urban Fairways closes indoor golf club after 8 years
Singapore, 30th November 2019
Urban Fairways, the well known inner city golfing oasis at the iconic Capital Tower, announced today that it's closing its doors after more than 8 years of doing great business. The longest running indoor golf club in Asia said goodbye to members and clients with a closing party on Nov 15th.
When asked about the decision to close, Managing Director Dilip Ghosh said "We've really enjoyed our time here since April 2011, but it's the right time to go. We've helped and introduced hundreds of golfers to the game, given them a convenient playing and practice facility, as well as creating a true golfing community of people from all over the world. It's a tribute to our wonderful staff who have been instrumental in making our customers feel like they have a second home - a place where they can forge life long friendships both on and off the course."
He added "tight labour market conditions and visa restrictions make conducting business in Singapore difficult right now. It's the main reason we have taken the decision to close. There is only a small pool of qualified employees who are eligible to work, and yet thousands of jobs available. Additionally, greedy landlords continue to squeeze tenants at a time when the general level of corporate spending is well down year on year."
Leonard Hazra, a Singapore lawyer and one of the longest serving members said "thanks for being my "cheers" for the last 8 years. Michael Yu from China and a newcomer to golf said "Thank you for bringing me totally new fun and good memories". British member Dennis Means said "I've forged friendships with people from all over the world that will stay with me for a lifetime."
With a diverse range of nationalities employed at the venue, staff also enjoyed learning new skills, interacting with guests and growing together. One staff member from Cuba said "I am so grateful for the opportunity to work in the Urban Fairways family - it's been a great way for me to build confidence, practice English as well as my bar tending skills."
Mr Ghosh added that a new tenant will take over the premise to operate a venue where you can enjoy new craft beers and swing some clubs - the Clubhouse SG.
About Urban Fairways
Operating at Capital Tower since April 2011, its been an upmarket indoor golf club and oasis for golfers of all abilities. Using the best simulators available - Full Swing Golf - its provided busy golfers convenient access to learn, practice and play at any time of the day irrespective of weather conditions. Exceptional service, the latest high quality products and a warm ambience are what led to its success.

CVRR History
The Comox Valley Road Runners (CVRR) was founded May 7, 1980. Dick Merrick was first club president. He was succeeded by Bent Harder, who served until 1989. Early leaders were Gary Holt, Sally Kunz, Alex Stuart, and John Crouch.
The club's first organized running event was the Cumberland Empire Days 3 Miler on May 18, 1981. In May of 1985, Leo Vogel of the CVRR organized a relay run to Victoria to hand over a donation cheque to Steve Fonyo. A team of ten runners moved a baton with over $6,000 from Courtenay to Victoria in just over 16 hours. This event stimulated John Crouch and others to establish the Island Relay as an annual event.
In 1992, club members Al Munday and John Ingram were instrumental in working with the local Rotary Club to establish the first 24 Hour Relay to benefit St. Joseph's Hospital in Comox. Over the next four years the event raised over $140,000. In 1998 the CVRR made a charitable donation of $2.00 per entrant from the Comox Valley 1/2 Marathon. The Jingle Bell Run contributes to the local food bank.

Touching Lives Stories
Samantha's Story: A Promise to Her Daughter for the Ideal Home
People are faced with difficult times throughout their lives. As we get older, dealing with these difficult times can be a little more of a challenge.
Samantha was challenged when she found out that her daughter was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Samantha's daughter needed her mother to care for her full time, so the ladies rented a two-bedroom apartment in town.
Times were not easy. Samantha was her daughter's one and only caregiver. She took her daughter to all the necessary appointments and treatments. "Watching your own daughter's health fail is not something any mother should have to do."
Even though her daughter's health was declining, she wanted her mother to make her a promise. She wanted her mother to promise that she would find a place to live where she would not be alone. Samantha, herself, will admit that she tends to isolate herself. Her daughter needed to know that she would find a place to live that would offer her help and security and where she could be around people her own age.
One month after her daughter's passing, Samantha started her search for the perfect place to call home. A place that met her need of privacy but also met the needs that she promised her daughter. Samantha's first impression of Heritage Woods was that it was clean. She was impressed with all the services the community offered.
Samantha has lived at Heritage Woods for about two months now. She said even during this pandemic and the quarantine, she does not feel alone and knows that she will get the help she needs. Samantha "Thanks God" that she found Heritage Woods. Not only can she be safe and have her privacy, but she knows her daughter would be pleased that she is never going to truly be alone.
Art and Denise's Story: Letting Love Bloom at Heritage Woods
The transition to assisted living community is different for everyone. It can harder for some people to give up their home and independence than it is for others. Other people realize that they have lived the way wanted; they embrace the fact that they are older and need others to help care for them.
Denise was one of those residents who was not pleased when it was time to leave her home. She became depressed and filled with anxiety. It was hard for her family to see Denise this way. During mealtimes, we noticed that she loved to be social and talk with other residents. But once meals were over, that ended. She went back to her apartment. She didn't attend activities and kept to herself. The same routine went on for months, and that worried her loved ones.
Then, she met Art. He was extremely social and embraced the idea of supportive living. Art loved to talk with other residents, play bingo and attend happy hour events. At one point, several ladies at our community were vying for his attention. One day, he sat at the same table as Denise. The discovered they had a lot in common. After a few more meals together, people started to talk.
They both caught wind of the whispers and thought it would be funny to meet up before lunch and walk into the dining room holding hands. That was the beginning of something special.
Art and Denise are now a couple, and they do everything together. Their relationship has empowered Denise to start living her life again. It has been special for Art, too. He told us he never thought he could feel this happy again. They have become our community's "it" couple. They mingle, attend activities, and occasionally go out to enjoy dinner with their families.
As they continue to enjoy their time together, Art and Denise have shown us that love happens when you least expect it – even at Heritage Woods of McHenry.
Jim's Story: Accepting Love, Kindness and Assistance From Friends
At the insistence of his family, Jim moved to Heritage Woods in 2013.
Jim is a "man's man." He is a retired officer from the Chicago Police Department and a retired rancher, so a senior living community was not what he had in mind. Jim was not without health issues, but he wanted to manage his diabetes and some forgetfulness on his own.
Slowly, Jim settled into his new environment. It did not take long for him to start reaping the benefits of all the excellent care he was receiving from the staff at his new community.
Jim was feeling so well that he decided that he no longer needed the supportive living lifestyle and decided to give it a go in a private subsidized senior apartment complex. Our staff was sad and tried to talk him out of moving, but we decided to support him in his decision.
We did not hear from Jim for almost a year. Then, he showed up at our building with his heart on his sleeve and told us he wanted to come back. Jim, looking a little disheveled, pale and much thinner, began the process of getting on our waitlist.
Later, Jim admitted that it was not as easy as he thought it would be living on his own again. He realized with age and his health concerns, he could not manage it all alone. Of course, we welcomed him back with open arms.
Now that Jim has been back with us for a few years now, he is healthy and receiving all of the services he needs. He has many friends in the building and even has a better relationship with his family.
Life is not about doing it all on your own; it is about accepting the love, kindness and caring others that want to share with you.
Frank's Story: Three Meals a Day, a Place to Call Home and Dignity Restored
When people think about how they will live their lives, they envision how everything will turn out. They will grow old with their partner, live in the house they shared together until it is time for them to leave this Earth. Well, that is not everyone's story. We all go through transitions. Births, deaths, health issues, divorce, and losses are all a normal part of life.
For some people, even one of these transitions can be devastating, and it can be hard to get your head above water again. It's even harder if you are older and find yourself without a support system.
That is what happened to Frank, a resident at Heritage Woods since early 2016.
He had always been a happy person and rolled with the punches until he faced one of life's difficult transitions.
His mother got sick. He put all of his time, effort and money into his mother's care. Eventually, he found himself without any money, without a home, and sadly, in the end, without his mother.
Depending on friends, church members and senior services, Frank really had nowhere else to turn. Although grateful, Frank used these support systems to sustain himself. Lunch at senior services and sleeping on a church member's couch was not way to live.
With the help and support of a concerned friend, Frank was introduced to the concept of supportive living. Frank wasn't sure about the idea at first, but after a few visits, he was ready to move.
Now, Frank is a thriving member of our community. With a place to call home, three meals a day, and a roof over his head, his dignity has been restored.
