Mining slump threatens Nambia's desalination
Investments in desalination and electricity generation in Namibia could be in jeopardy following a dramatic slowdown in mining output in 2008, according to a new report published on 5 May 2009 by the International Monetary Fund.IMF Country Report No. 09/136 says that Namibia's real GDP growth is projected to slow to 1% in 2009, despite a large fiscal expansion, as external demand weakens further. Mining output is expected to fall significantly in 2009
"The marked tightening in international financial markets could also jeopardize several investment projects expected to be the main drivers of medium-term growth, including investments in electricity generation and water desalination," the report concludes.

An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar TD, has today (Wednesday) confirmed that 20 additional Gardaí are being allocated to the Dublin Metropolitan Region West (DMRW), which includes Blanchardstown. The Gardaí are among the latest new recruits from the Garda Training College in Templemore.
Speaking today the Taoiseach said:
"This is great news for the local community in Dublin West. The DMRW is one of the busiest Garda divisions in the country and it will be significantly boosted by these 20 additional Gardaí. They will be on the ground from April.
"The Government's approach to tackling crime is based on increasing Garda numbers, investing in the Garda fleet and better technology, while also strengthening our laws on bail and repeat offenders. We want to see more Gardaí on the beat, and this confirmation that 20 extra Gardaí are being assigned to DMRW will do just that.
"New Gardaí are allocated to division on the basis of demand, which is assessed by the Garda Commissoner. Blanchardstown is one of the busiest stations in the country, and it's important that Garda numbers continue to rise in the region, to support community and frontline policing."

Paget Brewster is returning to Criminal Minds. Yes, Emily is back to help her friends at the BAU catch an international serial killer, just as the team begins to adjust to the empty hole left by Derek Morgan. What will "Baby Girl" do?
According to yesterday's post on Ecumenical News, CBS confirmed Brewster's temporary return last February. Fans have been eagerly waiting on the edge of their seats ever since.
But before you get too excited, it's only for next Wednesday's episode. At least, for the time being. Criminal Minds producer, Erica Messer, indicates there has yet to be any discussion in regard to exactly how the show will move forward.
Due to Shemar Moore's shocking exit last week (as previously reported by The Inquisitr), die-hard fans definitely need something to lift their spirits. Maybe this will do the trick.
In Season 4's Episode 19 of Criminal Minds, Emily is taking a hiatus from her job with Interpol to help nab the most famous serial in the past 150 years. Step aside, Ted Bundy! Here's a sneak peek.
CBS reminds viewers Paget Brewster made her debut on Criminal Minds in 2006. It was during Season 2, in case you're curious. Emily left her job at the BAU during Season 7. At the time, if you remember, she told the team about her dream to work on international cases.
Many fans don't know the whole story when it comes to Brewster leaving in the first place. Cinema Blend reports that CBS reduced her role "on a whim" and then brought her back on another one… a whim, that is.
As soon as that contract ended, Paget left the show. To say she was disillusioned with the network is an understatement. From that day forward, Criminal Minds had an extremely tough time filling Emily's shoes. A fact that's backed up by the introduction of new characters with every season.
At the end, Brewster stated her heart just wasn't in it anymore. So, it's no surprise the show's writer's wrote the same goodbye speech for the then-exiting Emily Prentiss. Paget Brewster had this to say about that.
"They wrote Emily Prentiss saying, 'Since I've come back, I've realized that my heart isn't in it, and I want to do other things.' And it was true. That was just true from how I was feeling about the situation, and I wanted to do comedy."
Shortly thereafter, reports surfaced indicating that CBS originally let both Brewster and A.J. Cook go in an effort to save money. Seemingly, network execs thought relieving Criminal Mind's female BAU agents of their duties would be cost-effective.
No, @Vangsness and I don't ALWAYS lick on @shemarmoore… But you know you would if you could, too! pic.twitter.com/fjV1aSkpbF
— paget brewster (@pagetpaget) March 20, 2016
On the episode airing Wednesday, the team tries to save the victim, thought to be an American, before it's too late. The question remains… will they be successful without Derek's assistance? Only time will tell.
Paget Brewster's first TV role was on Friends, according to TV Guide. She played the part of Joey's girlfriend. Before she took up acting, she was a singer in the New York-based rock band Sleeping Pills. She also hosted 65 episodes of her own late-night San Francisco talk show, aptly named The Paget Show.
What is your favorite Emily Prentiss moment? Where you elated when you found out she really wasn't dead, or ticked off because you were left in the dark? Feel free to leave your comments about Paget Brewster and Criminal Minds below.

Living a healthier, more holistic lifestyle is a goal for most people. How to get started, however, is another issue. There are so many books, websites and programs all touting the ways to be healthier and happier. But really, wellness can begin by taking just a few small steps that will plant your feet on the path and impact your life in positive ways.
1. Take a multi vitamin everyday. Most of us do not get the recommended doses of viamins and minerals our bodies require from the food we eat. Even the healthiest of eaters generally still have a few spots where they could use a boost. Taking a good multi vitamin every day will help fill in some of the gaps in your nutrition and allow your body to function the way it should. You should make sure you drink plenty of water when you take your daily dose to aid in the digestion.
2. Shop the outside aisles of the grocery store. Why? Because most of the fresh and whole foods are located on the outside aisles. Generally a store is set up with fresh and frozen foods around the outside ring and prepackaged and preservative laden foods are located in the aisles on the inside of the store ( the exception is the baking aisle which will contain your whole wheat flours, olive oils and such.) The majority of your grocery cart should contain foods from these fresh sections. If you are worried about spoilage most foods can be unwrapped, washed and then repackaged in freezer bags and stored until you need them. This is a great way to cut costs as well since you can buy produce and meats on sale and freeze the extras.
3. Invest in a water filter, a stainless steel bottle and use them. I probably don't even have to mention the amount of contaminents even in "treated" water supplies. Even if you just invest in a small water pitcher it will still be very effective in removing the contaminants from your drinking supply. The stainless steel bottle serves two purposes in that it gives you a portable, non-toxic way to carry your water and it also is reuable saving a ton of plastic bottles from being purchased and thrown away.
4. Deep breathe. Deep breathing is one of the best things we can do for our bodies and our minds. By filling up our lungs so that the belly rises and falls we are providing our bodies with much more life giving oxygen which in turns causes healthier cells, decreased stress and anxiety, increases metabolism, aids in weight loss and keeps us mentally alert. In fact, it has been shown that oxygen practically smothers cancer cells and kills them in the body.
Begin implementing these small changes in your daily life and start seeing a big impact in how you look, feel and think. Then use these as a springboard to get into other healthy habits along with a regular exercise routine. Of course, being the Yarn Therapist, I suggest a nice evening stroll- knitting needles in hand ;)

Whether you are staying in Luxor for a few days, or only visiting for a day – keep the workers village of Deir el-Medina high on your list. This is the workers, the stone-cutters, plasterers, decorators, the men who created the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, lived.
Anyone with the slightest interest in ancient Egypt has heard of the Valley of the Kings. It was in tombs cut into the sides of the valley that Pharaohs and powerful nobles between the 16th and 11th centuries BC were buried. Although there are 63 known tombs, the most well known is that of Tutankhamun. Not surprisingly then, the Valley of the Kings is top of most if not all lists of attractions to visit in Luxor, along with the many temples on both the east and west bank of the Nile. But what of the people who created these tombs? Where did they live, and where were they laid to rest?
Just over the ridge from the Valley of the Kings, and within walking distance, is the ruined village of what is today called Deir el-Medina. The remains of this modest village once housed about 68 households, the inhabitants of which were a mixed community of Egyptians, Nubians and Asiatics. The men were employed as stone-cutters, plasterers, water-carriers and decorators, as well as administrators of the nearby royal tombs and temples.
Deir el-Medina is a must for a number of reasons. Here there are the excavated remains of an ancient workers village, a village that is relatively well preserved. So you get to see a different side of ancient Egypt, a different image to the one we are used to that features Pharaohs and their extravagant monuments. Also, because this site does not always feature on the itineraries of tours taking in the sites of Luxor as do the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor temples, your visit can be a much more enjoyable experience (try to avoid the midday, particularly in summer – as it can be very hot). Even though there may not be the grandeur of the Royal tombs over the hill or the majesty of the temples, there really is much of interest here.
The main feature of the site are the remains of the village (above), the excavated low walls of the various houses in which the workmen and their families lived. At the opposite end of the village to where the car park is you will find the remains of what was a temple dedicated to Hathor. During the Christian era the temple became a monastery, hence the Arabic name Deir el-Medina, Monastery of the Town. For the earlier Egyptian workers the town was called Set Maat, or the Place of Truth.
Also open to visitors are the tombs of some of the artisans, in the adjacent necropolis – where tombs were cut into the side of the hill surrounding the village. Remember, the inhabitants of Deir el-Medina were the artisans behind the making of the nearby royal tombs, so these tombs are not to be sneezed at – the painted walls may not be as vast as those in the Valley of the Kings, but they are every bit as spectacular – as the photographs below show.
Do not miss the tomb of Sennedjem. The pyramid marking its entrance is reconstructed, but the brightly coloured wall paintings are original.
Sennedje's Pyramid Tomb
Where is Deir el-Medina
Deir el-Medina is on the west bank of the Nile River, on the outskirts of Luxor. Most of the hotels are on the east bank of the Nile, but getting to the archaeological site is easy. Private tours/taxis can be organised from most hotels, or you could cross the river in a felucca (highly recommended) and then take a taxi.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- A bright idea on the Indy's east side may be turning a food desert into an oasis.
The area near 10th and Oakland became a wasteland for affordable produce after Pogue's Run grocery store shut down. People have been resorting to traveling farther, or turning to pricey convenience stores for food.
"You just can't get good fresh food at the gas station really, or it costs too much," said Odessa Wallace, who runs the Indy Community Food Co-op.
Wallace began making an impact on the east side through her co-op that runs a share program. Shares come in $25-$50 bundles of goods, which helps locals fill their stomachs with fresh food that often comes from local sources.
"I just pack it as full as I can, and put as much food in there for your money and stretch it," Wallace said of her affordable food system.
As she searches for a new location for the co-op, she is pairing up with her new business partner, Eric James, to spearhead an upstart initiative called the East Side Marketplace. The weekly farmers market is expected to open in front of Brookside School. They will provide food from local farmers, with some of the goods coming from their excess produce. It's a win-win for the community and local producers.
"We are working with other farmers that are buying into this vision of not only selling produce, but providing fresh, affordable produce to an underserved community," James said.
The market will open weekly starting in mid-April. If successful, they may expand to being open multiple times a week.

Jefferies Sees Opportunity In Marinus Pharmaceuticals: 4 Reasons Why
Shares of Marinus Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ: MRNS), a micro-cap biotech focused on therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders, are likely to see upside amid some key near-term events, according to Jefferies.
The Analyst
Analyst Andrew Tsai initiated coverage of Marinus shares with a Buy rating and $10 price target.
The Thesis
Marinus' ganaxolone is being developed for neuropsychiatric disorders such as pediatric epilepsy, postpartum depression, or PPD, deadly seizures and potentially major depressive disorder, or MDD, Tsai said in a Tuesday note.
MDD is a $5 billion-plus market opportunity, the analyst said.
Tsai said he expects the stock to appreciate over the next six to 12 months due to the following four drivers:
A fuller Phase 2 PPD dataset for oral and intravenous-to-oral ganaxolone is due in the first half of 2019. The analyst said he believes Marinus needs to show similar efficacy as the preliminary data in more patients, as well as report no events of fainting — a key differentiating factor over rival SAGE Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: SAGE)'s brexanolone, which is two to three years ahead in development.
New Phase 2 data in deadly seizures is due in the first half of 2019. If it's positive, Tsai projects $2 to $4 per share in upside on a 35-50-percent probability of success.
The announcement of a new CEO.
Marinus is likely to release a strategy for MDD in the second half of 2019 or the first half of 2020.
Tsai also explored the possibility of Marinus unlocking the value of ganaxolone with a partnership or M&A.
"MRNS is an inexpensive name that offers a favorable setup at current price levels," the analyst said.
"The risk/reward for MRNS ($200-million cap) is skewed heavily toward the upside, as the Street appears to underappreciate [the company] having multiple shots on goal."
The Price Action
Marinus shares were up 9.55 percent at $3.90 at the time of publication Tuesday.

When the city gets proverbially hot, the pavement catches fire and the streets are deserted, summer cannot be seen as anything but cruel. But, just as the three Bananarama chicks are finding their way around the early 80s New York in search of fun in the super-famous hit Cruel Summer, so do the art lovers left alone in the city. Very soon, they will have a new artsy oasis in both locations of Jonathan LeVine Gallery, where a long roster of gallery represented and specially selected artists will be on display in a show curated by Roger Gastman. The summer group show will prove to be the perfect place for all of those who wish to drown their sweet Cruel Summer sorrows in a pool of inspiring urban art.
Opening on August 6, the show will run through August 23, bringing a refreshened summer groove to Chelsea.

Blade was a legendary New York graffiti artist, known as The King of Graffiti, since he painted over 5,000 trains with his originally invented characters. Caleb Neelon is known for his large impressionistic murals presenting nautical and folk culture inspired images.
Cleon Peterson will be represented as the draughtsman of urban violence, through his friese-like narratives. Cope is one of the graffiti legends, active since the 80s.
Dabs & Myla is one of the happiest duos in graffiti world, with their cartoon characters and witty social remarks. Finok is a young Brazilian graffiti artist from Sao Paulo, known for his signature green lettering.

Mike Ballard (Cept) is a great futuristic painter, fusing sci-fi with realism and classicism inspired imagery. Mike Giant is a tattoo master and a draughtsman, whose oeuvre consists of a huge set of symbols.

Risk, a Californian graffiti writer, mover to New York to paint on trains towards the end of the 80s, while his name is today widely respected as one of the old school graffiti figures.
Sam Friedman is an abstract artist active in the past decade, based in Brooklyn. Shepard Fairey hardly needs special presentation, it's enough saying OBEY. Tim Conlon is an acclaimed Washington DC muralist. Victor Reyes is an artist who uses a semi-fauvist expression of explosive chromatism in his suggestive or partially abstract work.

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale has demarcated the Karman Line – which lies at an altitude of 100 kilometers (330,000 feet; 62 miles) above the Earth's sea level – as the boundary where space begins. But, NASA spokesperson Dan Huot explains from a physical science's perspective that "there is no hard-definable point where space begins; the atmosphere just gradually decreases the higher you get." So, where does space actually start? Watch Seeker explains in the video.

Space will always be a mystery to me. With only dust and gases out there, and heat radiating from low-gravity planets and moons, you'd think it would be hot out there – instead, you'd freeze.
Ebullism – the formation of bubbles in body fluids due to reduced ambient pressure – is the worse I can imagine. I also read space is extremely cold, but instant freezing wouldn't happen because the vacuum would cause heat to transfer away from the body very slowly. Death would be extremely painful.
Thank you. At my age, I continually forget some of my education. [getting old isn't for wimps!!]
Don't mention it. 😛
Space begins when you get divorced and the ex takes all her shoes out of the closets.
That's sad, and funny at the same time. 😛

A killer who claimed all paedophiles should be "put down", after kicking and stamping an elderly sex offender to death, was today facing life behind bars.
Arnold Hartley, who had served a jail sentence for sex attacks on children, was already a target for vigilante attacks when Adrian Brown kicked his way into his home.
But after Brown, 42, was convicted of murder by a jury today, prosecutor Kathryn Dunn told Newcastle Crown Court how Brown was himself a sex offender.
In June 1978, at Grimsby Crown Court, he was convicted of indecent assault on a girl under 14, and burglary, and sent to borstal.
He also had a string of previous convictions, including one for slashing a shopkeeper's throat in a bungled raid.
As the case was adjourned for sentencing later today, defence barrister Aidan Marron QC told the court: "On the evidence of the prosecution this was not a planned offence, not premeditated.
"It seems to be the work of the moment, the product of a spontaneous explosion."
The court was previously told how Mr Hartley had already suffered regular vigilante attacks when Brown kicked his way into his home in the dead of night.
Prosecutor Paul Sloan QC had told the court Mr Hartley was jailed for 12 months after being convicted of sex offences against children in October 2001, but returned to his former home following his release from prison.
He said the windows at Mr Hartley's home at 107 Queen Street, Redcar, were permanently boarded up after being regularly smashed following his release from jail.
The court was told how on Saturday, November 29 last year Brown had been drinking cider and beer with pals. Following a row with his girlfriend, he walked a 16-year-old pal to a flat where she was staying for the night.
It was then that he launched his attack on Mr Hartley, whose home they passed on the way. The 16-year-old, who witnessed the killing, told police she saw Brown kick his way into the house.
She went into the house where she could hear somebody shouting "Help, somebody help me" from a back room.
She had gone in to find Mr Hartley lying on his back in the corner, an overturned chair next to him and Brown stamping down very hard on his face.
Thomas Croft, 42, who was with Brown and the 16-year-old as they walked that night, had tried dragging Brown off his victim but Mr Sloan said: "As he did that Adrian Brown continued to stamp upon the deceased another couple of times.
"According to Mr Croft Adrian Brown was saying, 'he deserves it he's a paedophile, he deserves everything he gets'."
Brown later confessed to Mr Croft how he had started the attack on his elderly victim.
Brown, of Station Road, Redcar, denied murder throughout the trial but was found guilty after less than four hours deliberation by the jury. He did not give evidence during the trial but had initially told police he was nowhere near the house that night.
After CCTV footage showed he was lying, he said two others had gone in while he stayed outside.
After Browns conviction for murder today, jurors were told how in 1985 he slashed a shopkeeper's throat after the man had interrupted him while raiding his premises.
He was jailed for three years and nine months for that and other offences at York Crown Court in 1985.
As well as numerous previous matters of dishonesty, Brown was convicted of assault by Harrogate magistrates in 1993 and sentenced to 240 hours community service.
Later that year he received another conviction for assault and received further community service.
And in 1994 at York Crown Court he was sentenced to a total of three years and ten months behind bars for assault and dishonesty. A further conviction at Teesside magistrates for battery resulted in an 18-month community rehabilitation order, and in May 2002 he was sentenced to a two-year rehabilitation order for offences of dishonesty and assault with intent to resist arrest.

Page 2: Brutal killing drew a mixed response
For most people their home is their castle - a place where they feel safe.
But for murder victim Arnold Hartley that was not the case.
The 73-year-old convicted paedophile was a permanent target for people who would break into his Redcar home, steal his possessions and attack his property.
Windows were put through so many times he gave up replacing them and lived in a boarded-up house.
He lived there for most of his life - originally with his mother and his brother - and he stayed in the terraced house after his mother died and his brother moved away.
His brutal murder provoked a mixed reaction from the local community.
Some residents were horrified at his killing in which he was punched and repeatedly stamped on the head before being left for dead.
Others were less bothered because of the offences he had committed.
The problems he and others like him face while trying to live in the community after their release, and arguments as to whether they should be identified is an issue which has been hotly debated by the Government for some time.
He had been jailed for 12 months in 2001 after admitting eight charges of taking indecent photographs, one of indecency with a child and three of indecent assault.
He lured under-age teenage girls to his house with drink and cash to take part in "lurid" photo-sessions.
He was caught when police raided his home and found a small number of photographs of young girls in provocative poses along with 17 rolls of undeveloped film, which revealed a further 588 shots of young girls - some over 16 but some as young as 13 using props, including "kinky" underwear.
Three girls accused him of touching them improperly, while others described him persuading them to fondle each other while he took photographs.
He denied taking photographs of under-age girls and told officers he was impotent, claiming that on one occasion he had taken a large number of Viagra tablets, but they had not worked.
He was placed on the sex offenders' register for ten years.
After his release from prison he returned to his home.
In the days after he was killed police hit a wall of silence.
Detective Superintendent Brian Dunn claimed people in the Queen Street area of Redcar had turned a "blind eye" to the brutal killing, however residents disputed that.
At the time, one resident, who asked not to be named, said: "There is a general feeling of sympathy for Arnold Hartley around here - not for what he did but for what happened to him."
The hunt for the killer came to an end on December 15 when Adrian Brown, 42, of High Street Redcar, along with another man and a 16-year-old girl were arrested.
Brown was charged with murder, and pleaded not guilty at Teesside Crown Court on February 25 this year.
The 42-year-old is known to have a violent past. In 1985 he was convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent after slashing a shop keeper. He served three years and nine months in jail.
When he was just 16 he was convicted of indecently assaulting a girl under 14 at Grimsby Crown Court and was sent to a young offenders' institution.
The Gazette spoke to a former girlfriend of Brown's who revealed chilling details of his violent past.
The woman, who asked not to be named, lived with the killer for about six months in 2002, during which time she alleges he hit her and threw her down the stairs.
She said she knew Brown had spent a spell in prison before he met her, but that he failed to tell her the nature of the offence.
"He said it was for handling stolen antiques, but I later found out from the murder squad it was for slitting somebody's throat."
She claims Brown was "a total liar", describing him as a "charmer who was good at spinning lines", even telling her he had been in the Marines for about nine years.
"That turned out not to be true," she said.
The murder house now blends in with neighbouring houses after renovation.
A young mum lives there. She says she was unaware of the property's grisly past when she first moved in and despite finding out about its history she has "no problem".
"There has been people nosing and coming past the house to have a look," she added.
Neighbour Wendy Moore, a mum of six, said: "People just want to get on with things now."
"There were always rumours about what he was. When he came out of prison I told my kids not to talk to him, telling them he a naughty man. They would come in if they saw him, but I knew my kids were safe and I never felt they were at risk.
"But it's all over and done with now."

Vail Valley Partnership CEO: State officials hamper creating Eagle County insurance pool (column)
The Vail Valley Partnership recently sent a letter to the state insurance commissioner, pleading to allow us to create a local solution to our health insurance challenge.
We believe our community can't afford to wait for a health insurance solution from Washington or Denver. We need to find a local, innovative solution before ever-increasing health care costs make operating a business (or remaining a resident) cost-prohibitive.
Vail Valley Partnership is actively working to implement a localized health care solution within Eagle County to support businesses and lower health insurance costs for our residents. It could help our businesses and it would also support our local health care providers.
Tackling big issues such as health care and health insurance costs requires a focused, coordinated effort. It's a complex process and not a quick, easy fix. We're fortunate to have the right organizations at the table to address it, yet are receiving pushback from the state bureaucracy.
Disruptive innovation is the introduction of a product or service into an established industry that performs better and, generally, at a lower cost than existing offerings. For example, the "Amazon effect" is the ongoing evolution and disruption of the retail market, both online and in physical outlets, resulting from increased e-commerce.
Apply this concept to health insurance, and Vail Valley is well positioned to take an innovative yet pragmatic approach to addressing this issue by creating a "Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement" (MEWA). It's when a group of employers pool their contributions in a self-contributing benefits plan for their employees.
MEWAs are a way for smaller companies to share risks and offer employee benefits outside of the government-run health insurance exchanges. This model has proven successful in Wyoming, Missouri and South Carolina (among other areas).
There are only two health insurance companies (payers) on the Affordable Care Act exchange (the number of payers has dropped each year since launch) — only Kaiser Permanente and Anthem BlueCross Blue Shield offer plans in our market. People want to stay local for their health care, but the individual market is increasingly limited and 80 percent of our business community consists of businesses with less than 10 employees.
A proven solution exists for this small group niche. We can develop a MEWA to create more stability in insurance premiums, now and in the future, resulting in broader accessibility to health insurance and coverage options within the community. The Vail Valley is not "typical" — we arguably have the most sophisticated health care capabilities in a rural market in the entire country — and this model is proven to work.
We are confident that when residents have more choice, lower costs and options, and when businesses have a solid benefits package, the middle class in Eagle County can grow and thrive. Addressing health insurance costs would allow us to build a business-friendly environment, making Eagle County an attractive place to conduct business. Creating an innovative health care group product that works for our small business stakeholders is a key step. It is an exponential improvement over the status quo and could provide the impetus to a larger-scale solution.
Unfortunately, we've hit a significant hurdle: Colorado requires all plans to be approved by the State Insurance Commissioner, and we are working to gain that support, knowing that we can't let perfect be the enemy of better. We have to do something now and our research shows we can. We, frankly, cannot figure out why the Division of Insurance does not think this is a crisis.

Bow school children enjoy free healthy breakfast at Orbit
PUBLISHED: 11:16 21 July 2014 | UPDATED: 11:16 21 July 2014
©2014 Andrew Parsons / i-Images
Local school kids enjoyed a free healthy breakfast at top heights of 115 metres at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park last week.
Children from Chisenhale Primary School in Bow were treated to a healthy breakfast at the top of the ArcelorMittal Orbit with Olympian Peter Waterfield.
The exclusive breakfast club, courtesy of the Mayor's Fund for London, is part of 'London's Biggest Breakfast' campaign to put more Breakfast Clubs in London's primary schools.
Olympic Diver and Silver Medalist, Peter Waterfield said: "I think Breakfast Clubs are a great help to children who don't eat breakfast before school.
"They set kids up for a more fun and productive day ahead."
According to the Mayor's Fund for London, one in three London primary school children regularly miss their breakfast.
Helen James, Head Teacher of Chisenhale Primary School said: "We're delighted with Peter Waterfield's support.
"The children feel like celebrities which is an important boost for the club."
Ten more schools are benefitting from Breakfast Clubs, thanks to the success of last year's campaign. Working in partnership with Magic Breakfast and the Greggs Foundation, the Mayor's Fund for London Breakfast Club Programme will reach 2,500 children in 60 London schools.
The aim is to see children from the most deprived areas start the day with a free healthy breakfast so they're ready to learn.

What do you do when your rock needs you to be the rock? I have a terrific Rock of Gibraltar kind of guy. He's followed me all over the map, indulges my constant ramblings of moving to some Greek coastal town with crystal blue waters, and he even reads my blog. Turns out, though, he could use a little Gibraltar himself. So, tonight I dedicate my blog to the man who gives me strength and a desire to push myself to be better, even when it annoys him beyond sanity.
Since lately, I seem to be only able to express myself through song lyrics and since my husband does not share my appreciation for sappy music, I will avoid a lengthy diatribe but I'll say this...I won't last a day without you (him).
Okay, Karen Carpenter said it first, but don't tell my husband.

The Damianos Sotheby's International Realty Abaco team spent a portion of their office holiday celebrations on Dec. 7 ringing the bell to raise money the Rotary Club of Abaco.
"This holiday season was such a special time for our company," said Lana Rademaker, Chief Brokerage Officer for Damianos Sotheby's International Realty. "Not only was it a time to celebrate and reflect on our team's successes in 2018, but it offered us the ideal opportunity to come together and raise money for those less fortunate."
The Rotary Club of Abaco kicked off the 2018 holiday season with the goal of raising $10,000 to feed 500 families from Sandy point to Crown Haven. By the end of the day, the contributions from Damianos Sotheby's International Realty totaled $4,200, or about 40% of that goal.
"The response from the Marsh Harbour community was excellent," Rademaker said, adding that about one-third of the money raised came from public donations while the other portion was a combination of donations from the estate agents and the company. "It was our first time participating in the rotary bell ringing, and it really set the tone, not only for our company's year-end celebrations, but for establishing a new tradition of holiday giving for all of us as a team."

Holmes Moves All Home Football Games as Stadium Prepares for Renovations
The Holmes Bulldogs will play their home football games away from Tom Ellis Field this season.
The school announced Friday that the games were being moved because work is to begin on renovating the deteriorating field and stadium.
"The track will be replaced, the football field is getting artificial turf, and a new press box and scoreboard will be installed," said Stan Steidel, Holmes athletic director, in a letter to the Holmes community. The Bulldogs kick off their season on Friday evening, playing host to crosstown rival Holy Cross (which also uses Holmes's field for home games) at Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, at 5:30 p.m. Holy Cross will use Cov Cath's and Thomas More College's fields for home games this season.
It was two years ago that the Tom Ellis Athletic Memorial (TEAM) Foundation announced its intentions to raise $1 million for a multi-purpose complex at the site of the current football field. By September of last year, $400,000 had been raised.
The current amount being put towards the renovations was not announced by Steidel.
Holmes's schedule will take it all over Northern Kentucky as a "home" team this season. The team also hosts Paris at Lloyd (Aug. 26), Harrison Co. at Lloyd (Sept. 23, which will be the team's Homecoming game), and Bourbon Co. at Boone Co. (7:30 p.m.).
