Background information was provided.
1) To transfer the two areas of land at Coronation Terrace in Caston to Caston Parish Council at nil consideration subject to the imposition of a restrictive covenant "not to use these areas of land for any purpose other than amenity purposes only".

Rollout of East ACTIVE Project to Generate Income (Agenda item 8) PDF 83 KB
Report of Mark Kiddle-Morris, Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development.
Additional documents:
The Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development introduced this item which requested permission for a full business case to be submitted to the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) for the East ACTIVE project, with the Council underwriting the costs and risks associated with the delivery of the project.
The Economic Development Manager and the Economic Development Officer were in attendance and provided Members with a presentation.
The current REV ACTIVE project had gained national recognition and had won an award and due to its on-going success an opportunity had arisen to submit a further bid to the European Funding Programme under the title of East ACTIVE.
An expression of interest had been submitted to the DCLG which had been received favourably and as a result it was likely that the DCLG would be requesting a full business plan submission in the first half of 2012.
East ACTIVE would be focusing on delivering to other areas in the Eastern region, rather than directly in Breckland and the area of focus was currently within the borough of Luton in Bedfordshire. Luton had already opted to come on board and Gt Yarmouth Borough Council had already expressed an interest.
With significant reductions in business support, this would be a great opportunity for Breckland Council to fill a gap. East ACTIVE would buy economic development staff time and would generate management fees back to the Council.
The financial profile of the project was shown and how the monies would be spent was highlighted.
The Vice-Chairman asked if all business enquiries along the A11 corridor which was currently covered by the REV ACTIVE project had been dealt with. He further asked if the Team would be talking to businesses who were considering moving to the area since the announcement of the duelling of the A11. Members were advised that the Economic Development Team continued to engage with businesses in a number of ways. East ACTIVE was a separate project but there would be some overlap with REV ACTIVE as businesses did not take account of district boundaries.
Members were informed of a recent Overview & Scrutiny Commission meeting that had looked at discretionary and non-discretionary services within the Council. This report proved that Economic Development, although classed as non-discretionary, was an important asset to the Council and the Overview & Scrutiny Commission Chairman commended the project to the Cabinet.

Alternative Car Park Policy Feasibility (Agenda item 9) PDF 67 KB
Report of Mark Kiddle-Morris, Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development.
Additional documents:
The Chief Executive presented the report which requested the release of revenue funds to enable specialist resources to be obtained to undertake research and the completion of a business case in relation to alternative car parking policies.
The proposal was highlighted.
The Chief Executive knew that Members were well aware of the financial challenges ahead and the recent statement made by the Chancellor had made it quite clear that government funding would be reduced even further in future. In these circumstances, all possibilities, such as car parking charges must be considered to get through these difficult economic times. Breckland Council did not have the same knowledge as other authorities that already had parking charges in place and this was why this type of expertise was being sought.
The Chairman understood why Breckland Council was considering this review and further understood why Members and the public were so alarmed; he too was alarmed by the amount of money being requested and asked whether one of the Council's own officers could be used to undertake this study.
In his defence, the Chief Executive stressed that no more than £50k would be required. He had been aware of the Chairman's suggestion of using someone in-house and agreed to either extend an existing officer's contract or second someone from another authority who already had the knowledge and expertise. This method would cost considerably less than £50k.
Mr Sharpe spoke on behalf of residents and various organisations from Swaffham who were concerned about the amount of money being requested. He urged Cabinet to authorise a far lower amount and to agree to the Chairman's aforementioned suggestion.
Mr Wassell asked for the business rate figure for car parks. In response, the Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development advised that the business rates for this financial year was just over £61k. This figure included refurbishment and running costs and would increase year on year with inflation.
Mr T Jermy, on behalf of the Labour Group, was totally against the idea of car parking charges and felt that free parking was a major advantage for retailers. He quoted a statement made by Mary Portas who had said that the introduction of parking charges at this moment in time would be a disaster as most High Streets were already struggling (Mary Portas had been appointed by the Prime Minister to lead an independent review into the future of our High Streets). Mr Jermy felt that such charges would reduce the number of visitors to the town as it relied on a 'nip in' culture and would be a disadvantage to rural residents. He urged Members to abandon the plans and find other ways to plug the funding shortfall.
The Executive Member for Internal Services reminded Members that the report was not requesting a decision to charge for car parking it was just requesting that a feasibility study be carried out. All services had to be reviewed as part of the best value regime. However, he asked Members ... view the full minutes text for item 9.
Budget, Financial Medium Term Plan and Capital Strategy (Agenda item 10) PDF 52 KB
Report of Stephen Askew, Executive Member for Finance and Democratic Services.
Additional documents:
The Executive Member for Finance and Democratic Services thanked the Assistant Director of Finance and his Team for all their hard work throughout the year. He highlighted the number of efficiencies that had been made during the year which had assisted in producing such a balanced budget.
The appendices to the report outlined the 2012-13 revenue and capital estimates for the General Fund, the proposals for the setting of discretionary fees and charges, the outline financial position through to 2016-17, the financial Medium Term Plan and the Capital Strategy. It was noted that the effect of the Riverside project, if approved, had already been included in the budget.
The Executive Member for Internal Services was very pleased to have a balanced budget; many other local authorities would envy being in this position. He also mentioned the efficiency savings that Breckland had made over the years whilst still maintaining the lowest council tax in the country. He was very proud of being involved with such a proactive and far sighted Council and congratulated the Portfolio Holder and the Finance Team.
The Overview & Scrutiny Commission Chairman echoed the above comments as it had been a great challenge for everyone involved.
In response to a request for an explanation of the New Homes Bonus, the Chief Executive explained that the New Homes Bonus was a reward paid to local authorities based on the council tax of additional homes and those brought back into use. The Finance Team had been prudent and this bonus would be contributed to reserves in the year it was received. Although this was a six year grant, it had been assumed that after four years the grant would be funded from a reduction in Rate Support Grants and National Domestic Rates; therefore, at this stage no additional grant had been assumed.
The Executive Member for Internal Services felt that public money needed to be well managed for future generations.
There were no alternative options presented; however, Cabinet was able to make amendments before recommendation to Full Council.
To comply with the budgetary and policy framework.
RECOMMEND to Council that:
1) the Breckland revenue estimates and Parish Special Expenses for 2012-13 and outline position through to 2016-17 (as set out in Appendix B of the report) be approved;
2) the capital estimates and associated funding for 2012-13 and outline position through to 2016-17 (as set out in appendix I of the report) be approved;
3) the revised capital estimates and associated funding for 2011-12 (as set out in appendix I) be approved;
4) the fees and charges shown at appendices E & E2 of the report be adopted on 1 April 2012;

PFI Benchmarking (Agenda item 16)
Report of Mark Kiddle-Morris, Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development.
The Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development presented the report which asked Members to support the business proposals as listed in the report.
The contractor had identified two opportunities to help reduce any adverse financial impact of the Benchmarking process. The set up of the PFI benchmarking process was explained.
Mrs Armes asked a number of questions about the proposal some of which were answered by the PFI Leisure Monitoring Officer at the meeting. She asked that the proposal for the Club based at Thetford Leisure Centre be put on hold until all relevant persons had been consulted. The Chairman suggested that the remaining questions be discussed outside the meeting with the said Officer.
There was some discussion about membership and the way particular sports had been promoted.
The Executive Member for Internal Services was in support of the recommendation as it did not make sense to keep something open throughout the year when there was no demand.
See report.
· To help reduce the financial impact to the Council of the benchmarking process
· To assist the contractor in attracting new users and increasing the centres income
§ To allow the contractor to vary the facilities on offer to meet the demands of the customers
RESOLVED that:
1) the business proposal for a contractual 'change of use' of the Bar/Function room at Dereham Leisure Centre into a dedicated Martial Arts Dojo arena be approved; and
2) the business proposal for a contractual change of use of the Bowls Hall at Breckland Leisure Centre in Thetford during the summer months (May-Sept) for the provision of soft play and children's activities be approved.

Report of Mark Kiddle-Morris, Executive Member for Assets and Strategic Development.

A Member suggested that Thetford Town Council should be approached for possible financial assistance.
After much discussion, it was proposed that one of the recommendations be changed and a Special meeting be held to legally complete and sign off the agreement to lease (if approved) and the Audit Committee be tasked to monitor the contract and any financial risks associated with the project.
See report.
See report.
RECOMMEND to Council that:

3) a Special Cabinet meeting be held to legally complete and sign off the agreement to lease, if agreed; and
4) the Audit Committee be commissioned to monitor the contract and any financial risks associated with the project.

Three years ago, I went to Sheffield to interview Joe Root. It was his first summer as England captain and as he parsed his way through a series of solemn, proportionate answers about New Responsibilities and Exciting Opportunities, I became increasingly fascinated by his demeanour. His posture was nervous and awkward; his gestures self-conscious and uncertain; his words stilted and punctuated by short involuntary intakes of breath. It seemed like Root still was still trying to work out whether the England captaincy was something into which you grow or shrink. Whether it bottles you up or sets you free.
A couple of weeks later, someone in the England camp informed me Root had read my article and was a little put out. Not angry. Not upset. Just a bit surprised, as anyone might be if they'd seen their verbal tics and physical mannerisms deconstructed in creepily forensic detail in a national newspaper. Even so, Root's reaction struck me as atypical. If this was his response to a largely innocuous slice of cod-psychology, how would he handle the merciless media roastings, the poison-pen campaigns, the barefaced lies to come? The England captaincy, after all, is hardly a job for someone who cares what other people think.

Which, when you break it down, is a pretty appalling notion, isn't it? This idea that in order to be an effective leader you need to shut your ears to the world. Think of all the dichotomies captaincy throws up – caution v boldness, indecision v stubbornness, sensitivity v emotional detachment – and then consider how the qualities we most revere in leaders are often those we least admire in people. To Root's credit it is a dichotomy he has always rejected and now he appears to be proving it.
At the turn of the year, with England 1-0 down in South Africa, Root was widely believed to be on borrowed time. Since which point: six Tests, six wins – he missed the recent first-Test defeat against West Indies being on paternity leave – and a side that for the first time feels like Root's own: holistic, empathetic, fuelled by hard work and loyalty. Which makes it all the more anomalous that one player has remained stubbornly resistant to Root's inspirational touch: himself.
You've already seen the numbers: the anaemic conversion rate, the one century in 18 months. The idea of the "Big Four" in Test batting was always grounded more in myth than reality – ignoring AB de Villiers and Che Pujara at inception, Babar Azam and Marnus Labuschagne now – but, for the record, since ascending to the captaincy in 2017, Root averages 43 in Tests; Kane Williamson 54; Virat Kohli 57, Steve Smith 69.
And really, the broader picture here goes beyond statistics. What is missing is not runs or centuries but joy, expression, basic enjoyment. The young Root was a sheer pleasure to watch: a bouquet of abundant talent, sparkling freshness and life-affirming exuberance. The drives and the dabs, the carefree timing, the cheeky boyish grin: here was a player who seemed to encapsulate the sheer fun of being really good at cricket.

These days the runs still occasionally come, but at some point in the past three years – somewhere in among the countless shifts between No 3 and No 4 like a Radiohead time signature, the technical modifications, the hailstorm collapses, the off-field crises, the sleepless nights – something important has been lost, diluted, dialled down. Somewhere along the way, we turned one of the great modern English batsmen into a pen-pushing middle-manager.
I use the first person because the fault is not entirely Root's own. It seems patently obvious with hindsight that Root was handed the England captaincy too soon: in his mid-20s, an age when we are still trying to discover who we are and what we want out of life. This is why Jimmy Anderson or Stuart Broad would have made more sense in the short term.
Yet while being expected to maintain his stratospherically high standards in an era where the three formats were irrevocably breaking apart, Root would now also be asked to turn around an ailing team with a wildly uneven player pool, a hands-off coach, a relentless media and a punishing schedule. Not only that, but as results began to veer wildly he would carry the can for a generation of neglect: the sport's declining popularity, the inadequacy of the grassroots game as a talent nursery, English cricket's depressing prioritisation of profit over reach. The only way Root has managed to surf these tides without completely imploding is because he is as exceptional a cricketer as he is a person.
But perhaps it was inevitable that while being a leader and a mentor, an ambassador and an entertainer and a salesman, something had to give. And perhaps it was inevitable that it would be his batting, the one skill that requires not empathy and sensitivity but its polar opposite: the ability to bury yourself, to be an island, to leave behind earthly cares and float off somewhere else entirely.
Perhaps this is the true way of all flesh in the end. Or perhaps this is a peculiarly English disease: this urge to burden and thrash our pristine talents as if they were new cars, to see how much strain they can take before they break (exhibit 2B: Jofra Archer). Whatever he goes on to achieve, Root will be remembered as one of the most significant figures in the modern English game and if there is a sadness there it is that he has done it all in spite of us: a player of such broad shoulders that we made him hold up the sky.

Gina Haspel has a twisted set of priorities.
Gina Haspel, Trump's pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), may have shown her true colors Wednesday morning, when she lashed out during her confirmation hearing after being faced with concerns about the Bush-era torture program.
Haspel opened the hearing with the hollow promise not to reinstate the Bush-era torture program that she helped oversee and cover up, but repeatedly refused to say she believed it was wrong.
When Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) pressed her on reports that she supported expanding the torture program when it was being wound down, Haspel lashed out.
Wyden said he was "troubled" by Haspel's apparent confirmation that she supported expanding the program, and Haspel responded by boasting that she wasn't "on the sidelines" after 9/11.
"I think we did extraordinary work," Haspel said. "To me, the tragedy is that the controversy surrounding the interrogation program — as I've already indicated to Senator Warner, I fully understand that — but it has cast a shadow over what has been a major contribution to protecting this country."
Haspel is saying that the "tragedy" of the torture program she supported — and wanted to expand — is that it became a "controversy," not that the world watched as America did this: "round-the-clock torture of two detainees who were kept naked, placed in painful positions, deprived of sleep and subjected to waterboarding and other horrific acts."
That's a description by former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, based on a congressional report on the program.
Despite her meager and lawyerly attempts to convince Americans that she's had some change of heart about following morally repugnant orders of dubious legality, Haspel demonstrates that the only thing she's taken to heart from the torture program is not to get caught.

Kmart's Conair Ion Shine Ionic Styler (1875 Watt, Model# SD61, Kmart Item# 9990000002870411) is a great hair styling tool. It comes with a 1-year limited warranty and is made in China, which accounts for its low price. This styler does not skimp on quality though. It's great for people who are prone to getting frizzy hair. You can use it for a quick touch-up during the day or after a workout when your hair frizzes up.
It works on ionic technology to dispel frizz by releasing negatively charged ions to neutralize the positively charged ions in your hair. This reduces static electricity around your hair shafts, making your hair appear smooth and shiny.
The hair styling tool has two heat/speed settings and three different attachments. A cool shot button is provided to fix your style in place. The styler can work with dual voltage and is light and easy to pack up, so it's great for travelers.
I have a lot of fine, curly hair and the brush attachment worked to straighten it the first time I bought it. After that, it was worthless because the brush attachment kept falling off the blow dryer. In other words, the brush fell off the dryer every time I tried to pull it through my hair. This was caused by the heat of the device expanding the plastic on the clamps of the attachment so that it no longer gripped the dryer. I went back to the store and they kindly gave me a replacement, but the same problem occurred. I phoned Conair and they suggested I put the brush attachment in the refrigerator (I kid you not) while it was still warm so that the cold would shrink the clamps back to proper size. This did not work. They then offered to send me a replacement dryer. I explained that I had already tried that. I asked for a refund. They gave me the runaround for quite some time and then phoned me back to say that all they could do was offer me a replacement. I will not buy another Conair product again.
I love you so so much I've had my previous wrong for years and once it died I got this the same dryer
I use this conair ion shine ionic styler after washing my hair, and do the drying and styling at the same time. It works great on my curly and soft hair, it comes with different attachments that can be used for different styling.
This is a great tool to use for styling my hair. I use it on my daughter's hair also. She has very thick hair and this styler dries it quickly!

Slot machines are popping up all over, from gas stations, airports, bars, land casinos and even online casinos. The vast popularity of the slot machine is sending the gaming producers into orbit! Competition for the best slot machine, the best gambling features, graphics and themes keep new and better slot machines emerging out of the wood work. There are so many different kinds of slot machine now that it is often hard to pick one favorite to play. All the choices and the terminology can sometimes be most confusing.
One of the most confusing terms that are used in the slot machine world is the gamble feature; there are many ways a person could construe the meaning of gamble feature. Let's break down what in all actuality gamble feature means.
Many slot machines have a gamble feature, even though this feature started out on the old style fruit machines. The gamble feature actually allows a player to gamble or wager off of the winnings that they receive on a particular spin. Many times the gamble feature is activated by allowing the player to guess the correct color or the suit of cards on the next spin. This increases their chance of winning a substantial amount.
Most gamble features are card game based. Usually by picking a red or black card then followed by guessing its suit. But many other types of slot machines that offer the gamble feature, allow the players to use the High Low method of the gambling feature. This allows the player to gamble off of the winnings by guessing on whether it will stop on the Hi or the Lo- many times this type of gamble feature will double, triple and quadruple a win.
The gamble feature is a great way to increase your earnings, but beware; you could lose all your money even quicker. Slot machines are a game of luck, and this added gamble feature is no different. The gamble feature is a win all or nothing type game. If the gamble feature is card based, then at least you have a 50/50 chance of winning something.
Another downfall of the gamble feature is on most slot machines, there will be a limit or cap amount on how much a player can win using the gamble feature; but there are no limits on how much a player can lose. All it will take is one loss to lose all of your winnings in one spin.
The whole point in gambling is to come out a winner. The gamble feature if played correctly can put some cash in your pocket, as long as you are a smart player and understand what the gamble feature actually means. By cashing out a percentage of your winnings before enabling the gamble feature, you are actually setting aside at least some of your cash. You decide whether you want to go home broke, or with some pocket change.
If you want to make more wins in slot machines, then you need to make an informed choice on the kind of machine you are going to play on. It really makes a difference on the outcome of your play, and so, you should be very careful choosing a slots machine. Although luck plays a big role here, you don't want your chances ruined by the machine or the environment where you are enjoying your game.
There are different slot machines for different player needs. However, the best slots machine will depend on your specific preference and also your level of mastery. Here are some 5 things to consider when choosing the best slots machine to play your game on.
Online or offline
First, you need to decide on whether you want to play on the internet or on a slot machine in your town. Slots are among top 10 casino games played on the internet. There are several online casinos where you can play slot machines, and if you are a new gamer, them I would recommend online slots machine as a good starting point. Playing slots online gives you a good chance to sharpen your skills before competing on the real-world slots machines. This is because you can play even without paying any money.
Progressive or non-progressive
Another decision you will need to make is whether to play a progressive or non-progressive slot machine. Progressive slots machine are usually connected to each other in one casino or even across different casinos. There are normally huge offers to be won as jackpot, although the chances are quite minimal. Non-progressive on the other hand are standalone slots machines but with more chances of winning, although the payouts are normally minimal. Depending on your financial might and level of expertise, you can choose the best slots for you between the two.
Compare payouts
Different casinos have varying percentages of payouts. It goes without saying that you would rather play on the best paying slot machine, but there are more things to consider. Check on the minimum credit you can play with, the least you can deposit and also if there are bonuses or awards given. Although some casinos may have huge payouts, the underlying terms may be unsuitable.
Browser-based & downloadable
Based on your preference, you will also have to choose whether to play slots machine on the web browser or download software and install it in your machine. Although browser-based slots machines are easy to run, they may be slow during traffic peak times.
Try different machines
The best way to know which slots machine is best for you is by trying different machines in different casinos. Don't stick to one slot machine. Keep trying different ones until you find a machine that satisfies your need. Consider playing on online slots machines and offline as well. This will not only increase your chances of winning, but also sharpen your skills on the lever.

Song of Solomon (by J M Flanigan)
Many devoted Christians understand the Song of Solomon as the story of the love of the Saviour for the individual believer, and some of the choicest Christians have borrowed its language to express their love for Him and to hear Him avow His love for them. This devotional commentary proceeds in this fashion, looking for glimpses of Him who loved the Church and gave Himself for it. He is Himself the Beloved, the heart's desire of all who love Him.
Isaiah (by J M Riddle)
Isaiah means "salvation of Jehovah", and the book, which has been well described as "The Gospel according to Isaiah", certainly sets out the basis on which men and women can be saved. Salvation rests on the death of the God's perfect servant and it is on this foundation that good tidings can be preached to men and women. Isaiah has been rightly called "The Old Testament Evangelist". With the considerable emphasis in the book upon salvation, it is not surprising that attention is drawn to the Saviour Himself.
The contributors are well known Bible teachers, competent in handling the Scriptures publicly and 'able to teach others also.' The style is both expository and practical and each commentary has been written specifically for the Series. The commentaries are to be commended and will prove to be helpful, practical and challenging to the believer who is interested to learn of God's ways in the Old Testament.
The What the Bible Teaches Ritchie Old Testament Commentaries are being published as companions to the Series on the New Testament, which was widely appreciated and provided a much-needed resource for the Bible student interested in a clear and concise exposition of the Scriptures:

Richard Socarides – Coming Out To My Dad, The Founder Of Conversion Therapy
The Accurate Source To Find Transcript To Richard Socarides – Coming Out To My Dad, The Founder Of Conversion Therapy."
[Richard Socarides – Coming Out To My Dad, The Founder Of Conversion Therapy]
[Richard Socarides] Source: LYBIO.net
I'm Richard Socarides and I'm from New York City, New York.My father was, his name was Charles Socarides MD. He was the founder, or one of the founders, of the school of psychiatry that believed homosexuality was a mental illness and that it could be cured through psychotherapy. And he was a New York psychiatrist, quite well-known, had a thriving practice, wrote in 1967, maybe 68, one of the early psychoanalytic treatises of the issue of homosexuality, called The Overt Homosexual, which I do believe as I recall was dedicated to me and my sister.
So it was with this background that he became quite famous. CBS News did a very, now well-known, 60 Minutes-type special called The Homosexual in which they filmed him in his class that he taught at Albert Einstein Medical College on the treatment of homosexuality.
[Charles W. Socarides, M.D.] Source: LYBIO.net
"Homosexuality is in fact a mental illness which has reached epidemiological proportions."
I don't look so much like the old him, but if you look at that film a little bit you can kind of see the family resemblance, it's kind of a little scary. My parents were divorced when we were 6 though, when he moved out and I first lived with my mom and I missed him a great deal. So when I was about 13 I moved back in with my dad. And we lived on the Upper East Side on 78th Street in a Townhouse and his office was downstairs. So there was this, kind of on this one level is this kid coming out, on the top level there was this kid coming out, and on this bottom level there were these people going to be cured of their homosexuality. His idea was they should be treated like any other neurotic.
Couple of trips to a therapist and it should be just fine. He would occasionally ask me who I was dating and I would say, you know, try to avoid it. By the time I was in law school, all of my friends, most of my close friends knew. I was in therapy at the time and both my sister and my therapist said to me, they said, everybody who does this, you get to the other side of it and it's great, right, everybody who does this, you come out to the parent, and even if the parent is a little weird at the beginning, they realize that their relationship with their own flesh and blood, with their offspring is more important than this thing and they get over it and that I think is like a good rule for everybody. But I was suspicious, I said, like you know, Mmm, I might be the exception to this rule.
[Richard Socarides] Source: LYBIO.net
But finally one day I managed to come see him in the middle of the work day to see him at his office. I sat down and said, Dad I think this is something we've known for some time together but I'm gay and we have to find a way to be more honest with each other about this. And he had a tendency for the dramatic. He was angry, but he certainly wasn't surprised and angry, and he was kind of a little surprised. So I kind of said, I'm going to give you some time to think about it, to take this one in and I left.
It did not last a long time and it did not have a good ending, at that moment. And I just let it sit for a while. A relatively short interval of a
couple of months in which we didn't speak to each other passed, and then he sent me a letter. He sent me a beautiful letter handwritten, 4 pages, in which he basically said, I'm sorry I behaved so badly. I'm sorry I got angry. You're the most important person to me in my life and I love you and the only thing that's important to me is your happiness and if this is what makes you happy I want to support you and we'll just figure out a way to manage it.
[Richard Socarides] Source: LYBIO.net
Now, that was a great moment, the letter was a great moment, but it was not always that easy going forward because he did not change what he was saying publicly about the treatment and cure of homosexuality. When people ask me about my dad is, right, what is the first thing they say, Did he ever try to cure you? And it's an obvious question and the answer is no. It literally never came up. He never once said to me, I have an idea, I have this theory, and we can get you some help for this! So it was quite sad because as a kid I had a relationship that was terrific. There was a lot of warmth and affection between the two of us and we were never really able to, well, we never came close to rebuilding that. But we had a relationship that was built
on honesty, authenticity, integrity, at least coming from me. So it was much better. You know, my story is no harder nor easier than anybody else's. It's just my story. It is a little stranger than most. And it's kind of like a, wow, so you know it's so you know it's just part of who I am.

Harvest Home
by Thomas Tryon
In this spellbinding horror novel, a family trades their crime-ridden city for country life—and encounters an evil more sinister than they could have imagined
After watching his asthmatic daughter suffer in the foul city air, Theodore Constantine decides to get back to the land. When he and his wife search New England for the perfect nineteenth-century home, they find no township more charming, no countryside more idyllic than the farming village of Cornwall Coombe. Here they begin a new life: simple, pure, close to nature—and ultimately more terrifying than Manhattan's darkest alley.
When the Constantines win the friendship of the town matriarch, the mysterious Widow Fortune, they are invited to join the ancient festival of Harvest Home, a ceremony whose quaintness disguises dark intentions. In this bucolic hamlet, where bootleggers work by moonlight and all of the villagers seem to share the same last name, the past is more present than outsiders can fathom—and something far more sinister than the annual harvest is about to rise out of the earth.
Credited as the inspiration for Stephen King's Children of the Corn, Thomas Tryon's chilling novel was ahead of its time when first published, and continues to provoke abject terror in readers.

For those who are interested in running a commercial cleaning business, you want to consider starting your own business. Whether you do this by scratch or by using one of the various commercial cleaning franchises out there is a personal choice. However, one thing remains the same whether you work via franchise or via your own business: you are in total control. When you run your own business, you get to benefit from a host of very positive life changes.
Not sure what they are in full? Let's take a look at some of the benefits of running your own business.
You are in control
Again, when you run a business – janitorial franchise or not – you are in command. The kind of clients you serve, the people you employ, the policies you put in place, and how you do the job, is 100% down to you. Unlike simply being an employee, the risks and rewards are entirely our own.
Is it more pressure? Yes, it is. The rewards, though, more than make up for that.
Every profit is yours
When running your own business, you make the most of every profit. You aren't simply paid a wage: this is your company. The money it earns and brings in is entirely down to the work that you do. That feels far more rewarding than knowing you just made a company thousands of dollars, but barely made a fraction back for the effort that you put in.
When you run a business, every profit – and loss – is yours to own.
You set the business philosophy
When you run your own business, you are in total control of what you do. Your business philosophy – how you work, who you work with/for, what you do – is entirely down to you. You no longer need to abide by poor corporate practice or ethically challenging decisions made higher-up. You can therefore run the business to suit your own ethics, meaning you always feel good about what you are actually doing.
The opportunity is there
Working for a commercial cleaning company as a staff member, it can often feel like the chance to progress is limited. When you run your own commercial cleaning company, though, you have limitless opportunity. You can take on the contracts that you want and push the limit as far as you like: this is your business, so you are in total command of how it works and what it does. The opportunities taken are solely down to you and what you decide, nobody else!
Every day is its own reward
Lastly, running your own business makes every day feel more rewarding. You feel like you have helped people, you have done something to assist, and you were rewarded for it. That kind of happy medium is hard to find in business and means that most business days end with a smile on your face and the feeling of genuine achievement.
So, if you feel like your days are often without reward, running your own business can soon change that particular frame of mind. If you need more pride and love in your work, why not consider starting your own commercial cleaning business?
If you feel like that is too much work to do alone, consider going into a janitorial franchise. The chance to work with another brand to build your own rewarding business can be far more enjoyable than simply working for someone else!

Having updated to the latest version of PRTG recently, the first thing I noticed was that mousing over a list of sensors would sometimes cause the selection box around the sensor to become too large. I'm not even sure why the selection box (for lack of a better term) has to change sizes as all. It adds nothing to the usability of the interface, IMHO. If anything, maybe a highlighted or dotted border around the sensor in order to show the user which current sensor has the mouse over focus?
This brings me to my second point. With the selection box being so obnoxiously big, it makes it difficult to move the sensor and rearrange them. When I move a sensor, it doesn't end up where the UI shows that it should go, and usually ends up above or below what is being displayed.
I read another forum post about there being so much wasted white space with the new UI. I strongly agree with that sentiment. Now, in order to see all my sensors at a glance, I have to scroll several times.
The former interface was more usable and elegant. This new one seems bloated doesn't feel as snappy as before. I used to enjoy using the product, but now it is something I dread and do only as past of my job function.
I can't be the only one that feels this way. I hope you'll take my words into consideration.

I'm very happy with the one they set up for me which was ready to be collected after a week, incl all the data transfer. I woud definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their computer fixed.
Great experience overall. They did a very quick job ( I got it the same day I left it in the shop ). The communication was on point also with quick replies from their side. 10/10 would recommend.

Three Saudi soldiers were killed and three others wounded along the Yemeni border in the past 24 hours of fighting and by rocket fire and artillery shelling from inside Yemen, the Saudi military said on Tuesday.
A statement, carried out by the official Saudi Press Agency said two soldiers were killed in action on Tuesday against the Houthis along the border with Yemen while one soldier was killed Monday by the rebels targeting a Saudi border post in the Jizan region with rockets and artillery shelling, AP reported.
Saudi Maj. Gen. Abdulrahman al-Shahrani, commander of the 18th brigade, died of hostile fire on Sunday in the same region.
He is the highest ranking Saudi officer to die since late March when a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states started airstrikes in Yemen to restore the country's fugitive president Abd-Rabbuh Mansour Hadi to power and repel Houthi forces who took control of the capital Sana'a in September.
Two Saudi pilots were also killed Friday when their helicopter was shot down in Jizan.

Every day with Khalid and his father is a joy, and today especially as this was the day that Khalid was cleared to fly back to Kurdistan! Still there are no airplanes yet, but the cardiologist was so happy with the surgery results he saw in the echo. Khalid is "without limitations," in the words of the doctor. Before he goes back to Kurdistan, he will come back for one last check-up and then be off to his country!
Khalid's father said after hearing about the excellent surgery results, Khalid wants to walk and go outside, but there is the quarantine! All of us can relate to this global issue. God willing, there will be a time soon where Khalid and his dad can go for long walks in the fresh air, in a world free from Corona. But for now, we give thanks that there are plenty of long walks ahead of Khalid, which makes me think of the words from author JRR Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings"
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight."

|Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six wingèd seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!
Choir of The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Christchurch, New Zealand
The church building was destroyed by earthquake in February, 2011

Pick your roadside venue. Open-fronted eateries line the streets of any Vietnamese town, with their glass cabinets and rickety tables and red plastic buckets containing sea creatures you never knew existed. Woks sizzle and conversations bubble.
The owner's kids might be doing their homework in a corner. Sit on a diminutive plastic chair, hunkered with your knees around your ears. Swelter under the wet embrace of the humidity and the passing cough of a thousand motor scooters.
These aren't elegant establishments but never mind, because Vietnamese street food is surely the world's best. It pops with the fresh flavour of herbs, the kick of chilli, bursts of lime and the distinctive aroma of fish sauce. It plays with textures, and balances warming and cooling ingredients. It's an unassuming, no-frills cuisine that's nearly always delightful, and always best kept simple.
Street eateries and mobile carts live on their reputation, so choose a busy one and you'll seldom go wrong. The best display their ingredients for all to see, making it easy to check for freshness. Dishes should be cooked on the spot in front of you by a wrinkled lady in a straw hat or an oil-splattered fellow in a white singlet. Beware the chef who disappears into a kitchen out back.
Most street stalls conjure up just one dish, which they've honed to perfection over years, sometimes over generations. That makes ordering easy. If you see a dish you think looks good, plonk yourself down. Try sticky rice with pork and preserved eggs, or translucent spring rolls packed with mint and basil, or seasoned beef with peanut sauce wrapped in leaves.
Crunch into banh mi, or fresh baguette cut open with scissors and stuffed with Vietnamese sausage, salted pork and pickled vegetables. The sandwich filling gets more elaborate the further south you go, and might also include fried eggs, salad and cold cuts.
It's all fresh and all good, but nothing beats the Vietnamese obsession with what amounts to its national dish, pho, mostly enjoyed for breakfast but found at any time of the day or night. The soup contains rice noodles in beef stock flavoured with ginger, cinnamon and star anise, and is garnished to taste with meat, fresh chilli and herbs. In southern Vietnam, it tends to be sweeter and not as spicy. At just a few dollars a bowl, this is surely the world's best stomach filler.

Launching a breeding programme for Baudet du Poitou donkeys is not necessarily straightforward, be it with thoroughbred or mixed blood animals. Here is some advice :
Starting a breed is not easy. For several reasons, starting with a B book donkey is easier than a A book :
Starting from Book 0 (zero) :
it will take about 15 years to obtain thoroughbred (book A) animal.
In fact, from the seventh generation, the females are considered as belonging to Book A
The Poitou s donkey does not like being alone. It is a gregarious animal which needs company; ideally another female or castrated male (not necessarily of the same breed).
In an ideal world, the strict rule of one hectare per animal applies. However, it is possible to reduce slightly the living space if food rations are increased. The Poitou donkey likes neither damp, nor cold wind, and therefore needs a shelter.
WhatÕs more, this is essential for birthing. An ideal shelter is open on one side, and is orientated so as to face away from prevailing winds.
The Baudet donkey is a herbivore, his main occupation and major source of nourishment stemming from grazing in pastureland. In al cases concerning young animals, gestating females and weaned foals have the greatest needs, and it is necessary to compliment their food with hay, hard feed, and a mineral salt lick.
The food ration of a Baudet du Poitou must be less rich than that a horse. It is also important to know that over-feeding a female has great risks attached: laminitus, infertility, and the possibility of osteo-articulary problems.
Here is a list of compulsory needs in the life of a Baudet du Poitou :
In the case of a female who fails to gain weight, one has to consider the possibility of dental problems or internal parasites.
There is six families of baudets (males) and six families of females.
A rotation in the choice of the maleÕs family every three years is advised in order to avoid consanguinity.
By rotating the available females with the available males every three years, every family of females meets every family of males.
Animals from the same family will only encounter one another approximately every 21 years.
The mating plan is both a way of keeping the variability genetic and to enhance the Breed.
For every one hundred pregnancies, just over 50% result in successful births which implies a high rate of miscarriage (and here we are talking of animals raised in good conditions).
As regards weather conditions, two scenarios need particular mention :
In both cases, careful supervision is essential. The lose of the foal whose birth has been awaited for a little over twelve months (the gestation period for a female) would be great shame.
After the birth, it is important to check that the placenta has been evacuated completely; otherwise the female may risk infection.
In the case of twins: usually, following conception, once twins detected by means of a scan, the vet will only keep the stronger of the two. It is worth noting that, to date, no case of viable twins has been recorded.
It sometimes happens that the amniotic sack fails to break naturally or that the mother is too tired to achieve this sufficiently quickly. In order to prevent the death of the foal by strangulation, man must intervene quickly and tear the sack so that the young one can breathe.

Its another week of music and this week I continue the trend of electro pop. Apparently its my go to jam when I'm busy in the kitchen cooking dinner or making desserts. Lets check out my music picks for June 14th.
"Better Man" – James Morrison
A folk/pop singer James Morrison grew up in England and fell in love with music due in part to influences from his parents record collection. Some of the influences that he specifically points out are Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison and Otis Redding pointing to the way they use their voice to develop the songs. Morrison has a unique voice that he attributes to a near death experience with whooping cough when he was young. The song "Better Man" is one of my picks this week because of the soulful nature of the song when combined with the very unique sound of his voice. He is one artist you definitely will want to check out and explore more of his musical works. You may have even heard this song on television shows such as What About Brian or Grey's Anatomy.
"Young" – Vallis Alps
I love the synth pop of the music from Vallis Alps. This duo delivers the perfect beats and perfect lyrics that will have you wanting more.
"Climbing Walls" – Strange Talk
This Australian Synth/Pop band is composed of four members whose music has appeared on numerous television shows such as 90210, Offspring, and The Shire. The band reached number one on the Billboard charts in 2011. Their debut album Cast Away hit the shelves in 2014.
"Higher" – Kate Boy
This Swedish band is comprised of four members who began their work back in 2012. All members of the band participate in the writing process and playing the numerous instruments. The song "Higher" definitely has a good drum beat that can be heard through much of the song. It definitely holds to its electro-pop origins.
"Orange Colored Sky" – Natalie Cole
Natalie Cole's voice is one that is so amazing and so pure without any need for todays musical tweaking. The daughter of Nat King Cole she of course is no stranger to the world of music and is not short on talent. She rose to fame in the 70's with numerous hits and then in the 90's released an album of her covering her fathers hits which became here biggest success and won her several Grammys. Her musical styling through her career have ranged from R&B to Pop all the way to Jazz. Orange Colored Sky is a song written in the 50's and has been recorded by numerous artist, including Natalie Cole's father Nat King Cole whose version is the best know version.
