Lakhoni by Jared Garrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hold on to your butts, folks! Lakhoni has it all: Courage, action, mystery, vengeance, angst, and edge-of-your-seat suspense!
Open on Lahkoni, injured and assumed deceased, in the middle of the devastation of his home village. Alronna, his sister, has been taken by the perpetrators. Drawing from the courage and strength just building inside him, Lahkoni must take a journey of adventure, danger, intrigue and revenge. The genre this book would best fit into is a hero's journey.
Heads up: this is not the happily ever after you might want - this does have a cliff hanger ending, in preparation for the next book. So don't be upset - I warned you!
As I don't like to spoil anything, I'll just tell you about Lahkoni. He is spirited, loving, passionate and young. But he is also endowed with a private reserve of strength, tenacity and will to go on. Every obstacle he encounters is met with the same tenacity and courage. One would be hard put to not like this hero.
I also loved Shimra - the village healer's daughter who Lahkoni develops a fancy for. I do hope she is in the next installment!
Only negatives: The setting is not specifically explained, but the villages are "primitive" and I pictured it somewhere in early central Americas. And also, this was not my normal book genre, but I wanted to try it out.
Audience: Young adults, adults who like adventures, fans of vengeance stories and plot twists.
Note: I received this product free of charge in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

How to Pick the Best Christmas Present for your Boyfriend
Christmas is here, and with it comes the opportunity to impress your boyfriend by buying him some nice presents, or making them on your own. Throughout this small article, we'll discuss how to pick the best Christmas present for your boyfriend, so we'll be looking at buying it, not making it.
What kind of guy is he?
First of all, you have to know your boyfriend better than most – so capitalize on that fact in order to make sure you can get a memorable present and that he starts to know you always have the best presents of all.
For that to happen, you'll have to sort out his personality, which is divided in two main categories. There are practical men and sensitive men – although there are many positions in between these two types from the less practical to the less sensitive.
Have you already chosen the gift you'll give to your boyfriend?
He's he a practical man or a sensitive sweetheart?
If he's a practical man, he's not going to enjoy a lovely cute gift just as much as he will enjoy a brand new gadget or even a brand new set of tools. On the other hand, if he's not that practical and more on the sensitive side, you'll probably hit the spot if you offer him something that symbolizes your love for him.
It all depends on what kind of man your boyfriend really is.
Try to determine what he likes the most and join those things:
You'll have to think outside the box for this one. If your boyfriend really loves Star Wars and origami, why don't you offer him a Star Wars Origami set? Try to find out his biggest likes and combine them to create overpowered and unforgettable gifts.
Search in the right place:
Finally, if you're searching around in the wrong place – then you're doomed to fail.
Try to look at stores that offer a vast array of items and products for both genders – like Amazon, eBay, and other shops and webshops.
On the other hand, you may even have better luck browsing through highly specific men-related shops, like BuyMenStuff.com

5 Networking Tips for Your Next Event
Being a businessperson or entrepreneur entails quite a bit of ingenuity, confidence, and courage to take risks. Of course, our first thoughts go to the product and sales side of things: product creation, lead generation, financial security, etc.
If you're new to the biz, then you'll find quickly that even though your new business may have most of its transactions and communications through digital means, you'll still end up attending large events to help you learn more about marketing, connect with new people, and network with other businesses.
It's that one word that can conjure up memories of desperation and anxiety, or — as we're hoping is the case with you — it brings up feelings of excitement and confidence.
Love it or hate it, it's essential to any business or business professional.
Networking is essential to any modern-day business if it is to succeed. It's not just for those who are looking for a new job; It's integral to entrepreneurs and full-bodied businesses as well. It's opens up new avenues for things like:
- B2B Sales
- New Contracts
- New Employees
- Cooperative Business Efforts
And it's the reason why every businessperson should be researching before any big event to plan on networking to the fullest extent.
Many times, people make the mistake of assuming that networking is something that just 'happens' at an event. You don't plan for it, but you know it's coming. Unfortunately, this is where mistakes are made and connections are lost.
You've probably got a few events chalked into your calendar this year, so why not plan to become an expert networker NOW.
Don't think about networking as your chance to make more sales. While that may be a natural result of the connection, it's a selfish way to approach the relationship and a sure-fire way to start off on the wrong foot.
Networking can be mutually beneficial to both parties if done correctly. Here are our five best networking tips for your next event.
Research Key Attendees
Most events you'll attend will likely have hundreds of attendees, so it's unreasonable to demand that folks know something about each and every person before the event takes place. Instead, play the game a little more efficiently and research key attendees that you're aiming to connect with.
If you're wanting to meet — and impress — certain attendees, make it imperative that you're in-the-know about all things related to those folks in particular. Here are a few key points to hone in on:
- Business: What's their business, and where do their successes stand? Do they have any new products out right now? Don't just know the basics; Try to understand where they are TODAY.
- Personal Connections: Scour through social profiles like LinkedIn to find any common connections you may have with that person. This way, you can establish some common ground, and it's a great conversation-starter if you know someone that they know as well.
- Personal Experiences: Did you guys attend another event together? Did you see that they're a member of a certain social group online that you like too (Video games, anyone?)? Delve a little deeper than just the 'business' aspect of things so that you can share similarities in yourselves. The similarity attraction effect will help them gravitate more towards you if they see that you share commonalities.
Ask Questions (lots!)
You're not networking to push a product. At its core, networking is about establishing new connections, which is far before the sales aspect of any funnel anyway. Plus, sales may not even be the goal here at all!
When you're meeting new people and creating new relationships, don't make it all about you. Think about this like a first date: You want to show interest in the other party and ask lots of questions to keep them engaged and sharing. And don't just throw out random questions; Use the research you did in our first tip to ask thoughtful questions, and then listen carefully to the answers.
Remember their information for later, and you may come out of these networking connections with new ideas, new insights, and a new appreciation for other like-minded businesses.
Be a Matchmaker
Don't be part of the swarm in a networking event. Instead, turn yourself into the networking matchmaker as well. When you're able to connect others instead of just trying to make the connections for yourself, you put yourself in a more respected position in the community. Plus, you're helping out other business professionals, which only helps to strengthen your relationships with those folks too.
You'll become known in the community as the person who 'knows people', and this type of position primes you for leading the pack. When people have information or need something in particular, they know you're the one to hook up with. In turn, when you need assistance as well, you've got an arsenal of connections to work with.
Take Notes
It can be overwhelming to make so many new connections, and if you're one of those people who has a hard time with names, then this can be your downfall. Take notes as you go along the way:
- Who did you meet?
- What were their names?
- What businesses did you connect with?
- What did you talk about?
- Any personal tidbits they shared that would help you remember eachother later?
These little pieces of information can help you to pick up the relationship right where you left off when you connect again down the road, whether it's on LinkedIn, at another event, or when you need to talk business later on.
Posture, Hand Shakes, and Smiles
Talking is only part of the networking connection; You have to be physically personable too. Keep an open posture with your head up, shoulders back and down, and legs uncrossed. Always open with a smile and a firm handshake to get things started.
There's nothing more off-putting from the get-go than a person who seems disinterested or nervous — both qualities you don't want to see in a business you're about to hook up with.
BONUS TIP: Prepare Your Elevator Speech
Ever get a few seconds 'break' from an event in an elevator just to get trapped with someone super important like a keynote speaker? It's nerve-wracking enough to throw anyone off their confidence pedestal, but this is the best opportunity to connect! For pete's sake, you're stuck in a tiny box with that person for a few precious seconds. Now's not the time to choke up when you're asked, "So what do you do?"
Have a short, quick, highly-engaging pitch in the back of your mind, ready to go at any moment. These pitches quickly establish who you are, what you do, and why you're worth continuing the relationship after the initial connection is over. For instance:
Hey! I'm Mark Thompson. I'm with Digital Kickstart; We create tools, software, and training for online entrepreneurs and marketers.
I may add something in there about how I loved their speech or asking them what they do as well — it all depends on the person and my prior knowledge. But you can see how I've got it boiled down to just the essentials.
You tell us: What's your best tips for networking at events?

My short trip to pycon 2009 just confirmed my choice. This community is living and has a powerful momentum. Guido, the python father, mentioned that the 3 most important things are: community, community and community. What he started 19 years ago seems to take over.
The simple python syntax lead everyone to converge to it: pypy, jpython,cpython and IronPython. Alex Martelli talk on abstraction as a leverage was great: abstraction is inevible; try to understand at least 2 lower layers and create hook instead of hacks! (I am already applying it for the demo of python-montreal).
The frameworks for the web development is getting quite amazing (Django, Whirldwind, pylons etc.)
The talk " A Whirldwind Excursion through C Extensions" of Ned Batchelder was great to get a quick start on own to create C extension; yes python is slow and optimization is sometime inevitable.
The panel on Object Relational Mapper and the talk on Drop ACID and think about data were quite interesting. The keynote presentation by reddit founders is a good example that python provides amazing tools to spine out web application companies.
The concept of the evening lightning talks and open discussions on topic of interest was showing the dynamism of the python community. I went to an open discussion on parallel computing and people are moving to python. Now that the process lib has been integrate in 2.6, Twisted, Thrift, PyMPI, Numpy, Scipy power computing with python will expend.
I am glad that Yannick convinced me to attend. I think that I will attend to the tutorial next time and some Sprint to ensure the maximum knowledge assimilation.
During this small trip, I tried the mini laptop eee ha but I brought it back, you should buy the HE: the right shift is at the right place and the battery last longer. Pycon was inspiring !

- "They think they have a kater's nine lives, but Kater Killers eat leaves, and this could leave early!"
- — Jonathan Pearce's predictions for Kater Killer in Series 4
Kater Killer was a tracked box-wedge shaped robot which was entered by Team KaterKiller in Series 3 and 4 of Robot Wars. Kater Killer lost in the first round of both series it fought in, and also competed in the Sumo Basho competition, finishing in 6th place.
Kater Killer's name was a play on 'caterpillar', after its caterpillar tracks, combined with a cat theme, used more strongly in the robot's successor, Kat 3.
Versions of Kater KillerEdit
Kater Killer (Series 3)Edit
The first version of the robot, which featured reverse-angled caterpillar tracks took 3 months to build and was quite lightweight as it was made from aluminium, being seven kilograms below the maximum weight allowance. This version of Kater Killer was powered by fan belts from an old truck and had a painted shell, and it was armed with thick spikes beneath the tracks, as well as a pneumatic spike that shot from the robot's mouth.
- "The paintwork was done by my girlfriend last night."
- — Keith Williams
Kater Killer (Series 4)Edit
The robot largely resembled Series 2 Competitor Robo Doc in its second appearance, with clear macrolane armour - the same kind used to protect the audience from flying debris - and a heavier chassis. The teethed metal tracks were replaced with rubber ones. Kater Killer's new weaponry consisted of a spiked lifting arm at the front, capable of lifting 130 stone and powered by two 7500 Newton electric rams, along with a set of small spikes at the back, where it also had a fake cat's tail attached for comedic value. Throughout much of Series 4, the tail could also be seen hanging off the back of House Robot Sir Killalot. It lost to Charybdis in the Series 4 qualifiers, but was given a discretionary place to qualify.
Robot HistoryEdit
Series 3Edit
In Round 1 of the Third Wars, Kater Killer was up against previous Semi-Finalists Napalm. Both robots looked rather sluggish as Napalm rammed Kater Killer. Napalm then managed to reverse into Kater Killer and pushed it around the arena and almost into the pit, but Kater Killer steered away just in time. The rest of the battle was mainly both robots trying to push each other around. In the end, the Judges decided that Napalm was the winner, eliminating Kater Killer from the competition.
Series 4Edit
The new version of Kater Killer was put up against the 8th seeds Gemini and newcomers Tornado in Round 1 of Series 4, where it was overshadowed by the former and not acknowledged for appearing in the previous series. Kater Killer was immediately slammed into the arena wall by Tornado, but escaped Sir Killalot. Tornado attacked again, while Gemini flipped Kater Killer over, and it could not use its lifting arm to self right.
- "Has the lifting arm, can it self right? I don't think so."
- — Jonathan Pearce
Shortly afterwards it was righted by Tornado, but the lifting arm was jammed and the robot was completely immobile. Tornado was later pitted, and the Kater Killer team began to celebrate, but by then it was too late for Kater Killer, as it had been immobile for too long.Kater Killer later entered the Sumo Basho tournament. Kater Killer's tracks should have been an advantage, but it exposed its side, easily allowing Shunt to push one track off of the platform. It was fortunate for Kater Killer that Shunt took his time in adjusting his position before finally pushing it off. Overall, Kater Killer lasted 14.03 seconds, giving it a respectable 6th place.

Miranda Baxter, a Kids in Museum volunteer, reviews the surprisingly child-friendly Chelsea venue with several generations of her family in tow.
About a 10-minute walk from Sloane Square tube, the National Army Museum can be described in three words: learn, do and play. I was accompanied by my two-year-old daughter, my 11-year old nephew and my 60+ parents, all of whom found something to please — not only my war boffin dad!
We hadn't done our homework about what to see and do there, but it didn't matter: the welcome-desk staff were brilliant at helping us navigate. In particular, they sent us in the direction of the Play Base for under-9s – which was so fantastic, we've since been back just for that.
We all started together in the top-floor Battle and Soldier galleries, where both my little one and nephew attempted to beat out a battle order on the drums until my toddler's tummy decided it was lunchtime. My dad and nephew were left happily to their own devices and thoroughly enjoyed the World War II Normandy tank simulation.
The cafe had highchairs and scrumptious food that left us feel refuelled and ready for action.
We arrived at Playbase at our time slot, parked our buggy and got stuck into the soft-play assault course, complete with slide. Role play is a big part of it too: children can plan meals and cook healthy fare for the troops, phone up orders from the Quartermaster's shop or entirely reorganise it, be a soldier and drive and maintain a truck. On a practical level, there's a toilet, so busy baby soldiers don't have to leave.
After our hour-long session, we reunited with my dad and nephew in the ground-floor Army Gallery, where we were confronted by a fierce drill sergeant on a large screen. In this interactive marching exercise similar to a giant Wii game, both my daughter and nephew marched to the beat. This for me was part of the museum's strength: that you can learn in a playful way about what for many people (especially kids) can be a fairly abstract subject. Information about the collective, collaborative nature of the army was brought vividly to life using personal stories and testimonies across the centuries, balanced by interactive elements and play.
I particularly liked the digital, crowd-sourced interactive display that asks questions about the ethics of drone use and how we should be taking care of veterans.
The National Army Museum admission is free; Play Base £4.50 per child, advance booking essential.

Riot police fired tear gas and water cannons at bottle-throwing leftist demonstrators in Geneva who protested against the annual World Economic Forum meeting in the Swiss Alps.
Police chased black-clad protesters through narrow streets. The rally by hundreds of people was largely peaceful until police blocked a group from walking to the center of the city.
The violence was far from the target of the protesters' anger, the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of the world's business and political elite. It was in Davos, a five-hour train ride from Geneva.

Most of us know about the typical health benefits of diet and exercise. We know that leading a healthy lifestyle will help lower our risk of heart disease, cancer and other conditions. But taking care of yourself does more than just improve your physical health. When you're healthy and feel strong, you'll be more confident in yourself. Our society puts a lot of importance on body image, too, so the way we look naturally affects our self-esteem.
Let's see exactly how diet and exercise can improve your sense of self-worth and make you a more confident and happy individual …
You'll Feel Good on the Inside
When you eat healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, lean meats etc.) and exercise regularly, you'll feel really good on the inside. Think about it for a moment. Don't you feel sluggish and bad about yourself after you eat an entire bag of chips, while watching TV? Junk food—and leading a sedentary lifestyle tends to do that to you. On the other hand, eating well and being active has been shown to increase your energy and lower your stress levels.
Increased energy
Poor nutrition causes fatigue. If you don't consume an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals, your body will literally be weak. Sometimes, we think that eating sugary foods will boost our energy; but, this often leads to a "crash." In other words, sugary foods temporarily boost our energy, but then they cause our insulin levels to spike (so we feel tired again).
Eating a diet rich in unrefined carbs, vegetables and protein-rich foods will give you long-lasting energy. And when you feel energetic, you are ready for any task or challenge which comes your way.
Lowered stress levels
When you're stressed out, you likely feel unmotivated to do anything. Certain foods and beverages (for example, coffee) can actually increase your cortisol (stress hormone) levels. But, eating healthy and exercising prevents a rise in cortisol. Fruits, vegetables, fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low-glycemic carbs actually decrease or inhibit cortisol.
Moderate aerobic exercise also lowers stress by producing endorphins, our "feel-good" hormones. This lowers stress levels by improving our sleep quality and allowing us to relax. Again, when we feel this way, we also feel ready to take the day on. We become more productive at work and more open in our interactions with people. This definitely helps to boost our sense of self-worth and overall confidence.
And Look Great On the Outside
Body image
It goes without saying that when you look good, you feel good about yourself. Your body image (the way you see yourself physically) is closely associated with your self-esteem and actual physical self. You may not consciously think about it, but we are constantly bombarded of images of fit, happy people. How often do you see a physically flawed celebrity on the cover of a magazine? That's right—not very often. We tend to compare ourselves to the perfect images we see in the media and when we notice something wrong with our body, we focus in on it. This, of course, lowers our self-esteem.
Physical improvements
When you exercise and eat healthy, you'll notice a difference. Cutting back on junk food (those high in trans fats, sugar, artificial sweeteners, etc) and exercising can help you to lose weight. If you perform exercises that target your muscles (while eating a high-protein diet), your muscles will also become defined and your body will be toned. Not only that, but you'll notice that you can exercise longer without feeling exhausted. In other words, you'll see an improvement in your fitness. This will make you feel more confident and courageous (you'll finally be comfortable enough to go swimming without covering yourself up too much, for example).
Take-home message
If you're going to start eating healthy and exercising, do it for yourself. Not only is it good for your body, but it's good for your mind and self-image, too. Eating healthy foods and exercising increases your energy, lowers your stress levels and improves your body. These things all lead to a happier, more confident you.

Numerical Simulation of the Flow of a Power Law Fluid in an Elbow Bend
MetadataShow full item record
A numerical study of flow of power law fluid in an elbow bend has been carried out. The motivation behind this study is to analyze the velocity profiles, especially the pattern of the secondary flow of power law fluid in a bend as there are several important technological applications to which such a problem has relevance. This problem especially finds applications in the polymer processing industries and food industries where the fluid needs to be pumped through bent pipes. Hence, it is very important to study the secondary flow to determine the amount of power required to pump the fluid. This problem also finds application in heat exchangers.

World news story
First Bangladesh - United Kingdom Strategic Dialogue
Both sides highlighted the deep historic ties between Bangladesh and the United Kingdom and reaffirmed an enduring relationship based on shared values and common goals.
Joint Statement
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ('FCO') of the United Kingdom, led respectively by Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Md. Shahidul Haque and FCO Permanent Under Secretary Sir Simon McDonald, convened the first Bangladesh-United Kingdom Strategic Dialogue on 28 March 2017, in Dhaka. Earlier, both signed a Memorandum of Understanding setting out their intention to conduct the Dialogue on an annual basis in order to strengthen their bilateral cooperation in the pursuit of common goals.
The Strategic Dialogue involved a fruitful exchange of views on political and bilateral issues, economic and development cooperation, security and defence cooperation, and exchanges on current global issues. The following specific points were noted or agreed upon:
1. Political & Bilateral Issues
1.1 Celebrating the 45th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations, Bangladesh and the UK expressed satisfaction at the excellent bilateral relations between the two friendly countries. Bangladesh expressed deep gratitude to the people and the Government of the UK for their unwavering support during and after its Liberation War in 1971. Both sides recognized the scope for further deepening and widening of the relationship. They agreed to work together to take the relationship to a higher level through enhanced substantive engagements. In that context they underscored the importance of exchange of visits and interactions at the highest political level.
1.2 The UK briefed on political developments domestically and in Europe, including its decision to leave the European Union. The UK assured that it would remain outward looking, committed to its global responsibilities, including as a champion for free trade, and would seek to renew and strengthen its relations with long-standing friends like Bangladesh.
1.3 Bangladesh briefed on its engagement in the region, including with India and China, and briefed on its work through BIMSTEC and with neighbouring countries to improve connectivity and infrastructure links in the region. It highlighted the potential that the Blue Economy offered and welcomed UK expertise and collaboration in this regard.
1.4 The UK highlighted the valuable contribution that the large British-Bangladeshi community has made to British society and economy. Both Bangladesh and the UK agreed that the community formed an important link between the two countries, including in fostering business and trade ties, warmly noted in this regard the election of three members of the community to the British Parliament and the appointment of one of those MPs as the UK Prime Minister's Trade Envoy to Bangladesh, and agreed that the community's further success will be in the interests of both countries.
1.5 The UK welcomed Bangladesh's commitment to take back its citizens who no longer have the right to remain in the UK. Bangladesh assured to take practical steps to expedite the return of those individuals.
1.6 Bangladesh stressed the importance of an efficient decision making process for visa applications for its nationals. The UK explained that all visa decisions are taken by UK staff and that decision-making on settlement visas for Bangladesh nationals is being moved from India to the UK. The UK restated its commitment to maintain a high quality service for Bangladeshi nationals at the Visa Applications Centres in Dhaka and Sylhet. In this regard the UK agreed to expand the criteria for the three-to-five day priority visa services for Bangladeshi applicants from June 2017.
2. Economic & Development Cooperation
2.1 The UK congratulated Bangladesh on the impressive socio-economic development achieved in recent years, including in the empowerment of women. Both sides recognised the importance of duty-free quota-free market access for Bangladesh's socio-economic development.
2.2. The UK, as the second largest foreign investor in Bangladesh, welcomed Bangladesh's goal to improve its Investment Climate and Bangladesh's ranking on the Global Ease of Doing Business index. The UK also welcomed the formation of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) as the government's principal investment promotion and facilitation agency. Both countries agreed to work together on efforts to encourage more Foreign Direct Investment, ensure appropriate regulations and practices, speed up processes and tackle issues over contract enforcement.
2.3 The UK stressed that it remained committed to assisting Bangladesh's economic and social development, noting that it was largest bilateral development partner of Bangladesh. It gave an update on UKAid plans/investments up to 2020 and how these aligned with the Government of Bangladesh's priorities. Both sides reiterated their commitment to improved aid effectiveness, effective development partnerships and enhanced transparency and accountability of foreign assistance.
2.4 Both countries agreed to begin a dialogue on the future shape of their development partnership as Bangladesh moved towards and achieved middle income status. Bangladesh welcomed UK support in areas such as knowledge, innovation and skill development, enhanced co-operation between British and Bangladeshi universities, and the harnessing of the resources of the Blue Economy.
2.5 Both countries noted that the Sustainable Development Goals represented a step change in the way that the global community tackles the global challenges of poverty and disease, mass migration, insecurity, climate change, inequality, and of maintaining peace, justice, strong institutions and gender equality. Both stressed their commitment to implementing the Goals both internationally and domestically and undertook to explore ways of working more closely together to achieve the implementation of the 2030 SDG Agenda. Both countries recognised the role that civil society can play in promoting stability and economic prosperity.
2.6 Both countries highlighted the strength of educational and skills co-operation, welcoming the continued support to the Ministry of Education on systemic reform of the primary, secondary and skills education systems and more broadly on English throughout the school education system and to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs on the strategic positioning of public libraries in enabling a knowledge and skills based economy through greater access to information. It was agreed that the current Memorandum of Understanding concerning the activities of the British Council in Bangladesh should be revisited. Bangladesh requested additional annual Commonwealth, Chevening and other scholarships for its students to the UK. The UK side agreed to consider the request.
2.7 Both sides underlined the importance of safe, regular and orderly migration. In this context Bangladesh requested the UK to work together on future modalities for overseas employment of skilled manpower from Bangladesh.
3. Security & Defence Cooperation
3.1 Bangladesh and the UK condemned the recent terrorist acts in both countries and expressed sympathy for the victims. Bangladesh and the UK recognised that tackling international terrorist groups including Daesh, Al Qaida and other global, regional and local terrorists outfits, including neo-JMB and ABT, as well as countering terrorism and violent extremism, including money laundering and terrorism financing, constituted a challenge that must be addressed through global collaboration. Both sides emphasised that addressing the root causes of terrorism, respect for the rule of law and international human rights commitments underpinned any successful counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism strategy.
3.2 The UK appreciated the progress made in upgrading the security at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka. The UK and Bangladesh agreed that the UK Department for Transport will continue to work closely with Bangladesh's Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism and the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh to help bring about sustainable improvements in security at the airport, and the UK reaffirmed its willingness to provide necessary assistance in this regard. Both countries agreed to carry out a Joint Assessment of the airport to identify the remaining improvements needed and to draw up a mutually agreed time-bound action plan to implement them. Once these improvements are in place the UK agreed to take the necessary steps for the resumption of cargo on direct UK-bound flights from Dhaka.
3.3 Bangladesh's important role as one of the largest contributors of military and police to UN Peacekeeping Operations was appreciated by the UK. Both countries noted their co- hosting of the UN Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial in London in September 2016 and undertook to continue to work together to further strengthen the UN's capability to support global stability and conflict resolution.
3.4 Both the countries welcomed existing military-to-military ties and agreed on enhanced cooperation in the fields of training and capacity building for professional development of their armed forces.
3.5 In support of PM May's goal to cultivate a new, global and co-ordinated approach to eliminate human trafficking and modern forms of slavery and defend the freedom of men, women and children who are exploited for profit, both countries agreed to explore potential ways of working together in the UN to achieve this outcome.
4. Current Global Issues
4.1 The United Kingdom and Bangladesh emphasised their shared commitment to democratic values, international peace and security, and national and international prosperity. Both sides reiterated the need for the rules-based international system, including for trade, to adapt and renew itself in light of the transformational changes that have taken place over the last 70 years.
4.2 The UK appreciated the significant burden that Bangladesh has been bearing in hosting 400,000 Muslims from Rakhine State who have fled human rights abuses in Myanmar/Burma. Bangladesh expressed appreciation for the humanitarian assistance being provided by the British Government in this regard. Both sides took note of the reports of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (3 February 2017), the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar (1 March 2017) as well as the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State: Interim Report and Recommendations (March 2017) and in this regard emphasized the importance of finding a permanent solution to the problem in Myanmar/Burma and agreed to work together to this end.
4.3 Both countries stressed the shared Commonwealth values of good governance, sustainable growth, and inclusive social and economic development. The UK welcomed Bangladesh's active current role as chair of both the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Both countries agreed to collaborate closely to develop parliamentary links. Bangladesh and the UK looked forward to the next Commonwealth Summit in London in April 2018.
4.4 The United Kingdom and Bangladesh agreed to enhance cooperation and consultations in the UN, including Human Rights Council, and other multilateral fora.
4.5 Both countries welcomed their continuing close cooperation on the international climate change architecture and recognised each other's significant contribution to the Paris Agreement of 2015. They agreed to continue working together towards the goal of reducing global carbon emissions and as appropriate mitigation and adaptation activity in Bangladesh.
4.6 The next Strategic Dialogue will be held in London in the first half of 2018.

Therefore, it was just a case of trying to do a solid run and use it to kick off my come back from injury. Not forgetting a good social event too with a number of my new running club buddies also competing and supporting as well as a good post race BBQ. Finally, a chance for me to wear my new club colours in a flashy new PRR singlet!
The run went OK for the first 5km, my legs felt good but I had no real speed in them. Then I felt the achilles in my left leg tighten, so I slowed as it starting to hurt. Damn!
I crossed the line in just under 45 minutes and found myself hobbling as I walked to the bag check to collect my stuff. Not quite the plan that I had in mind. My achilles has been hurting for the week after the race and my shin splint seems to have flared up again. So, back to no running again for me :(

It was athlete versus musician at the Andy Roddick Foundation Gala in Austin the other night. John Legend's girlfriend, Chrissy Teigen, got into a fierce bidding match during the live auction with Colorado Rockies pitcher Huston Street's wife, Lacey, over a visit to the set of "The Office." Lacey won with a $10,000 bid and Chrissy was consoled by a shout-out from Elton John, who performed at the annual event to benefit children's charities hosted by tennis ace Andy Roddick.

Leaving work aside – as one should always do – we have had a very busy time of late. The main attention, from which a few other things developed was yet another trip to Old Trafford; the last home game of the season and one we had been anticipating that the title would have been decided in our favour – very sadly that was not to be the case – but there is still one more game remaining and winning it at Sunderland this weekend will still be a great achievement.
Anyway, one thing led to another and the long weekend started on Friday and ended at the close of Monday night.
We had a getaway night from our bank for opening accounts with them some time ago and decided that we would use this as the start.
Car hire made on Thursday; dog off to the kennels on Friday we headed northwards – up the M6 and the turnoff onto the M55 – yes heading for
We had not been there in 12 years – last time was with the kids and the town certainly has changed dramatically – very much for the better.
There has been a lot of money invested in modernising the frontage to the sea as well as new trams and a feeling of the recreation of a wonderful place to visit – the businesses have invested in renovating tired and rundown building facades and made them into almost something you would expect to see in a theme park.
|There is still the overhead wiring to contend with -
for anyone driving a mobile crane.
We would definitely visit there again and not wait another 12 years to do so.
|The iconic view from the central pier -
tower and sand in the background
Our intended destination for the night was in the town a little south of
Driving into the town was eye-opening – the buildings and atmosphere was one of a very affluent seaside town and the shopping precinct was of the same manner – more that just the usual coffee shops/cafes, banks, charity shops etc – there was a vibrancy to the area which has been sadly lacking in our other travels.
Here is a place that knows what it wants and knows how to do it – creating an environment within which you would feel at home and be able to leave the home and go out and certainly enjoy yourself.
The accommodation was up to the standard that we had expected and we had a very enjoyable stay the The Lindum. I do have to stay that we did bring down the average age of the guests on this particular night but it was a very nice place to stay.
The following morning (Saturday) we spent a bit of time shopping in the centre of town and then we were away.
We decided that we would make our way down to
It led us through
We found the canal and walked the path alongside a few of the locks but regrettably we ran out of path before we ran out of locks – but it did give us a good look at the lower parts of the canal. Here's hoping that we can finally get the notification of the right of passage to here – it's a bit like "the cheques in the mail" waiting for the BW confirmation.
Alas, we needed to leave and it was onwards via another A road and several more B roads in search of something as elusive as the northwest passage – a motorwayless route into
With trusty navigator by my side (she has been telling where to go for years now) we headed south by south-east – past the canal at Burscough Bridge and then over a toll bridge – yes correct spelling – there was no ugly troll under the bridge – there was however a toll booth on the other side where the princely sum of 12p was the charge for our trip over the top – we were lucky – if you were going the other way it was 25p – so without waiting for the change of the 20p coin we proceeded further.
True to form we found the correct roads and made our way to the Mercure Inn at Altrincham. Our rooms was quite resplendent – the only problem being it was on the lower level – read as almost basement-like – and the free wifi was non-existent as well as any phone signal – that aside we settled in and it was a spacious room.
Another good nights sleep was greeted with a very hearty breakfast.
We had a latish checkout and decided that we would park the car close to the light-rail line at Old Trafford and use the time allowed by the late kick-off to see a bit more of Manchester city.
We have an area where we always park – safe and within a short walk of the ground as well as the light-rail stop, but we were approaching from a different direction to usual – the very clear instruction from the left hand front seat was "turn right at the next intersection" – indicator turned on – car directed to the right-hand turn lane – the next words were – "where are you going?"; answer "right hand turn as you said"; "not that right, the other right"; no other right hand turn in sight – "do you mean left?"; "yes turn left – the other right"
Directions and dimensions – "your honour, I rest my case".
We made the left hand turn and found the location for the car to be left; short walk to the tram stop and into
|Prince Albert in the background - my princess in the foreground
We managed to find some lanes, roads and alleyways that we hadn't visited before – a brief stop at
Back on the tram and off to the match – another win to Man United, 2-0 over
|The holy Trinity looking out over the masses
|A final home farewell after a 2-0 win over Swansea
Headed back to the boat for the night, before we were off again to Long Itchington for the last day of the Beer Festival – 6 pubs all serving a huge variety of real ales – we were to catch up with Mike and Stella (nb Isobel) – Mike had, however, headed south with his brother-in-law to do some work down there and pick up tools he needed for the boat – missed him by 10 minutes; but we had an enjoyable day with Stella – visiting 5 of the pubs – the visit to the Buck and Bell included a group of Morris men doing their jingling and jangling and altogether having a good and entertaining time – the scene has been set for return visit for the festival next year, but get there sooner.
We were told of a little Indian Restaurant in Marton – The Essence of India – if you book 24 hours in advance they will come and pick you up and return you after your meal – we decided to give them a try on the way home – we were not disappointed and will be back here again (next year).
Picked up a rather dirty dog on Tuesday; returned the car; normal services had been restored, except for the fact that we were due to leave the marina this week for the summer cruising – we are off to Liverpool docks, then to Leeds and down through Standedge Tunnel to Marple Junction, Macclesfield Canal and back to the marina in October.
|mmm- maybe our next project !!!
So it was on Thursday morning we finished water tank filling; diesel tank filling, grey tank emptying and we are now off for the cruising to begin – not a very long first day – barely over a mile and just the one lock to complete – but we are off – no right turns to negotiate or worry if it is the right or should it have been the other right – just straight ahead.

I miss my dad.
This is not a sad story. I have learned, over time, that missing someone is not that bad. In fact, if I can resume my life so far, this is what I can say about it for sure: missing someone, be it a father who died, a friend who left you or the one that got away, is something that somehow pushes you forward & upward, in all the right ways you need to be as a person.
What I miss about my dad the most is probably the things he missed, too. Like seeing me graduate high school. Or college. Seeing me get a job and then quit it. Seeing me heartbroken.
I miss him on my birthday. And on his. And I still write to him on March 19th, every year.
A good friend one day told me how lucky I am for all the things I have left of my dad. My passion for reading, my career choices, my love for eyewear, my collection of toy bunnies, the stories he told me, the ones he wrote. If I leave behind only half of what my dad left, I am one very lucky woman. But what he left behind, more than anything, is time. Time to remember him and to miss him.
All of us who lost someone are richer, in fact, than we believe, because we have all this time and all these stories to tell.
I read today that it took a company 45 days to create and send out an official tweet. It got me wondering how we choose to spend our time & how others see this. For some people at that company, 45 days to create 140 characters might seem like a good investment. For some other people in media & advertising, it might seem downright overkill. And for some other people, it really does not matter one bit, due to the fact that, well, they might be fighting for their life right now, or getting married, or packing for a vacation, or
living in a refugee camp.
I believe that if it is time well spent, for you, it does not matter if it is 4,5 seconds, 45 minutes or 45 days. All that matters are the stories that are born at the end of a timeframe & how much they mean something to you in the great scheme of things.
Think about these:
- the rush you feel when you get an amazing idea which you really, really don't want to waste, like some others you might have had
- the way you sprint towards someone warm, kind, generous and lovely you long to see again, after some time,
- the furious way you stick your key in the lock when you FINALLY get home to your loved one after a hard, long, terrible day,
- the impatience with which you wait for a bus, taxi or whatever, when you know what awaits you at the end of your journey,
- the haste in which you brush your teeth in the morning, when you know that this is the morning when you will do something Grand,
- and the incredible slowness with which you find the time to remember all these little urgencies in your life.
Oh, and the puppies in the title? It was a trick to get you to read so far. But since you have: get them, they are awesome. My family and I had 5 at a time and oh, the stories I could tell.

29 Nov Summer Proof Hair Trends
Whilst most people spend their Winter's longing for warmer weather, I spend my days admiring my smooth, shiny locks and dreading the frizzy mess that Summer's humidity brings. With naturally curly hair, spending half an hour straightening it every morning (in front of the fan because it is hot work), isn't a practical solution to combat frizz because the second I step outside or begin to sweat a little, it poofs up and becomes completely unmanageable. Not to mention the baby hairs at my temples that get a lick of moisture and decide to stick out perpendicular to my head, no matter how much product I use.
My Summer hair woes are easily the reason I get so excited to spy all of the new trends coming through each year that 'Summer proof' your hair. From quick top knots to textured chops, elevated accessories and holy grail products; this seasons trends do not disappoint.
The Low Messy Bun – Top knots are tried a true classic but this seasons calls for a low looped bun. It works particularly well for long locks and is the perfect balance between 'I woke up like this' and 'I actually put effort into my look'. Simply part your hair in the centre, bring it to a low pony and instead of pulling it all the way through your elastic, pull it half way and then tousle it up a bit.
Textured Ends – Instead of trying to fight the elements and achieve silky smooth ends, load your hair up with products that create and hold texture so you have the power to control it before nature has its way. I love Ouai's Matte Pomade for this and sea salt sprays work perfectly as well.
Add a Scarf – Runways from New York to Paris saw the rise of hair bow's being added to elevate everyday looks but this Summer is also seeing silk scarves being tied around top knots. The magic of this trend is that it takes a seemingly simple hairstyle, the classic top knot, and makes it a chic, holidays on the Italian Riviera inspired look. I love the range from 66 The Label but just about any high-street store will have an option for you.
The Wet Look – Kimmy K is a champion of the wet look hairstyle and has bought what was once seen as a greasy mess into the worlds of 21st century cool girls. Comb a shine serum like Moroccan Oil's Glimmer Shine through your ends and then use a volume boosting mouse on your roots to avoid your hair looking flat. A wet look hairstyle works both worn out or pulled into a loose braid.

Seeded Tumeric Caramelised Onion Sourdough
Crusty and bright yellow- happiness bread :)
It's exam-prep period again! Sigh I guess I have mixed feelings about these periods- it's bad because I need to study hard and really get things done. Good because stressful periods call for baking and it's an excuse to eat and bake more decadent goodies. And I get to stay home more often and cook my own meals, which is 10x better than school food. But I guess the bad > good still, and I can't wait for exams to end so I can bake more and play more!
Flexible school schedules call for more bread baking- since sourdough bread baking requires lots of time but little hands on effort, which is perfect for those days where a bit of dough-squishing stress relief is desired but I can't afford to spend too much time baking. And where I need occasional breaks between mounds of math to fold soft, elastic dough- which is incredibly therapeutic. Baking, really, is stress relief. Especially bread baking, and even more so sourdough bread baking, because it always brings me immense happiness to see gloopy dough become soft and elastic, and that oven spring when I remove the lid of the cast iron pot is the most satisfying thing ever. It's like all the precious waiting time has become completely worth it.
The original recipe for this bread calls for flaxseeds, but since I didn't have any on hand, I used a mixture of fennel and cumin seeds which added a little spice kick. Leave it out, by all means, but this makes a magnificent grilled cheese or dunk it into soups (I dunked it into some homemade pumpkin soup- double happiness!). You don't even have to add the tumeric, if you'd rather not, though for me, a little pop of colour is always welcomed.
Seeded Tumeric Caramelised Onion Sourdough
Makes 2 large or 3 smaller loaves
50g 100% hydration starter
50g water
50g flour
150g leaven
525g water
635g bread flour (or 485g bread flour + 150g high extraction wheat flour, if you can find them)
75g wholewheat flour
40g medium grind rye flour
15g salt
Fold ins:
185g red onions, finely diced
40g olive oil
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp black pepper
10g poppy seeds
15g flaxseed (or a 10g mixture of fennel and cumin seeds, or any seeds of choice)
5-6 hours before making dough, build leaven. It is ready when it passes the float test.
Sauté onions with oil, tumeric and pepper, till soft and caramelised. Let cool completely.
Combine water, leaven and flours, autolyse 20 mintues. Add salt, onion mixture, and seeds, mix till no yellow streaks remain.
Bulk proof 3-4 hours, folding every 30 min for the first 2 hours.
When the dough is puffy and almost doubled in size, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Preshape, and let rest 10-30 min.
Final shape and place in proofing basket. Cover with towel and plastic wrap, let rise refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
