The following Post was written on June 5th, 2013.
My initial intent was to write a blog post every day about my trip.
I quickly realized that not only was the internet connection speed not going to support this idea, but I also realized that perhaps, a really good blog post deserved a bit of thought and experience before doing justice to this adventure.
I have been in Indonesia now for ten days. Seven of them I spent in Lembang, a town up in the mountains near Bandung, in West Java. The last three I spent here, in Batu Karas, a small village on the coast, South of Lembang.
The week in Lembang was a week-long colloquium (BtSM, Building the Scientific Mind) that my grandfather organizes. It primarily revolves around Science and Education, but within these areas people manage to find more diversity than I had imagined. The topic for this year's colloquium was Beauty & Harmony.
Now, I'll reluctantly admit that the topic did not interest me so much before. It seemed to me that both these things are so incredibly subjective that holding a colloquium to discuss them could not possibly come to any kind of conclusive idea. But the incredible people who came, and shared their perspectives, debated, argued, and learned together, all left feeling like they had accomplished something. We all came to a sort of understanding, on an individual level.
As for my own understanding of it, well, it's actually becoming clearer this week. I have thrown myself into daily surf lessons, spending many hours a day in the water, trying and failing and trying again. Primarily because I needed something to keep me busy. One week alone in a strange place, I was all too aware, could just as easily amount to loneliness and despair as it could in heaps of fun. So, surfing it was.
The last time I surfed was during a six-hour lesson in Florida. I came out of it with a sun burn as big as the backs of my legs (tomato red, I kid you not), countless bruises, and a sprained hip that still troubles me when I stand for too long. Wet, sore, and miserable, I vowed never to surf again…
Just kidding.
So today was day three of my lessons here in Batu Karas. If you're thinking of taking it up, this is the perfect place for it. Everyone here surfs, but as a beginner I've felt nothing but support from everyone here. My instructor Andre is a local surfer, and he's been a great source of information about the people and the area.
My conclusion is that of all of the places I've been to, this is one of the most amazing ones. People living together in a community, supporting each other the way they do here, is something I've rarely seen. Everyone is incredibly kind and respectful, both toward tourists and locals. As a tourist I have more often than not mingled with other tourists when traveling. But here, I barely know the other tourists in the hotel, but I feel as though I'm slowly getting to know the locals.
There is a big open space down the road, like a big dirt parking lot, and on the one side of it there is a row of little "shops", probably about eight or nine of them. And every one of them provides the exact same things: they all have a single table out front and advertise Nasi Goreng (Indonesian rice-based dish), for which they charge the same amount. They all sell packets of mosquito repellent and cigarettes and soap, among other things. All the same, all the same prices. But all run by different families.
I simply couldn't figure out how anyone was making any money. But then I realized that all the restaurants are similar too, same dishes, similar prices, similar conditions. So today I asked Andre why, and how does he choose?
His reply was simple, but really struck me: Why choose?
I was confused. Well you have to choose one.
But why? He persisted.
Well you need one pack of cigarettes, where do you go?
One day I buy them from one family, the next day from another.
And that's when it became clear to me. There is no sense of competition. People are not competing to be the best surfer and they are not competing to sell the most repellent. People here are all just making a living in some way. As far as I can see, there is no jealousy, no rivalry; but quite simply, co-existence.
A Westerner may look upon this town and see "poor" people, living in lesser conditions than we are accustomed to. But I see happy people. People who spend their days with people they care about, and doing something they love (surfing). It's a simple formula, but it works.
Now, this may not be Science or Education, but to me it is a perfect example of harmony, and beauty.

For our first official game of D3H2, we decided to play identical armies against each other, and keep the fantasy elements to a minimum. So we used two of Bruce's Macedonian Successor armies, vanilla standard except for the Hero General elements of both armies. Both armies are 24 points; nearly standard 12-element DBA armies.
We wanted to work completely through the rules, following each section in turn from terrain placement to deployment to actual gameplay. We allowed a slightly larger than 3 square foot playing area, but otherwise tried to play straight up.
I thought it might be fun to document a game or two using a photo/diagram format - the results of which comprise this post. Bruce's army is shown using white movement arrows and type, mine is in black. Combat is shown using red "bursts" and eliminated elements are denoted with red boxes. The red arrows are are post-combat "flees." The numbers in circles after the army names track that army's losses in points. The first army to lose 12 points, and more points than the enemy, loses the game. I'd be interested to know whether you can follow the action from the photos.
Bruce defended in this game, and from the Arable terrain list chose 2 compulsory "Ploughed Fields," plus two "Gentle Hills" and one "Woods" feature. Dicing for them created the battlefield as shown in the photos. The Ploughs aren't quite legal-sized, but as they counted as "Good Going" in this battle, it didn't matter.
The photo above shows the initial deployment; each subsequent photo captures the game after a further pair of bounds. It was close-fought and neck-and-neck until the final bound.
Then on Bruce's next bound I lost an Auxilia, making the score 9-7. With my Pikes at risk of being outflanked in the center, I decided to break my usual rule about minimizing risk and attacked his Hero General with my own, though with a single overlap advantage. We both rolled high; I rolled a 5 and Bruce a 6, which meant we tied. Normally a tie score is a stalemate and the combat continues next bound. . . but not when Heroes fight each other. An odd total meant that both Heroes died! And so we both died. Our Heroes were each worth 6 points - 4 for the element cost and 2 points additional for the loss of the General - which took both our totals over 12. However, the loss of the Auxilia the bound before meant that my losses were higher by two points, so I lost the game in dramatic HOTT fashion, 15-13.
Game over, man!
We shook hands and played another game. . . may be the next post.
See ya!

"..Henry wudnt spend a cent on a shoe he really liked, but when he went to buy his Bible this morn he chose the "best" & paid with his own cash"
-Joshua Chu
Talk about the value of God in henry's life. Never knew how much this quote meant until i stepped into SAE.
looking on at the outstanding amount. seeing all that i ever needed or dream of buried within that amount.
One could say that that; Life is always hard or go God is unfair.
but honestly my heart sank.
Henry who is only 13 years old this year.
chose God over the shoe that he liked.
i've been shopping with this kid before, his dad is pretty well to do.
but i guess in his heart, he knows that all things good does not come from his dad.
but his Daddy in heaven.
i sat in my car. looked at that sheet of paper.
for the longest moment.
at the moment i decided to utter anything at all.
"Just know that I AM ALWAYS GOOD."
Just like that.
Looking up into the skies and i see rolling clouds of thunder passing overhead.
and i believe.
Let's this on.
When your tunnel's still dark at the end
Even Now
His children don't know why but trust their Father's at their side
So hold His hand – hold up your hope
Even Now
-Even now
Foolish Things.

This is a photograph taken by NASA's satellite Cassini, while it was in orbit around Saturn, 1,200,000,000 km away from Earth.
You can clearly see the rings of Saturn. And there, way back there in the background, 1.2 billion km away, as a small blue dot, highlighted by that arrow, is our planet Earth. Your whole life, and mine, and every person whom you've ever met, or heard of, or read about, has lived on that little blue dot.
"This is the creation of Allah! So show me – what have those besides Him created?" [Luqman: 11]
"Truly, the creation of the heavens and earth is a bigger (miracle) than the creation of people, but most of mankind doesn't understand" [Ghafir: 57].
"He it is who has created the seven heavens in layers. You do not see any flaw in the creation of al-Rahman! Look again – do you see any mistake? And continue looking, again and again…your eyes will become tired, after it has humbled itself (and not found a flaw). And truly, We have beautified the lower skies with its ornaments (i.e., planets and stars)…" [al-Mulk: 3-6].
PS. Cassini will be 'retired' today, and crashed into the planet Saturn. It was launched from Earth back in 1997, and reached Saturn seven years later, in 2004.

Peter Singer's Animal Liberation
Singer argues that animal liberation today is analogous to racial and gender justice in the past. Just as people once thought it incredible that women or blacks should be treated equal to white men, so now speciesists mock the idea that all animals should be given equal consideration. Singer defines "speciesism" as prejudice that favors one's species over every other. What equalizes all sentient beings is our ability to suffer. In that, we and animals are equal and deserving of equal consideration of interests. Singer's argument is a utilitarian one having as its goal the maximization of interest satisfaction.
If we learned anything from the liberation movements, we should have learnt how difficult it is to be aware of latent prejudice in our attitudes to particular groups until this prejudice is forcefully pointed out. A liberation movement demands an expansion of our moral horizons and an extension or reinterpretation of the basic moral principle of equality. We need to consider them from the point of view of those most disadvantaged by our attitudes, and the practices that follow from these attitudes. If we can make this unaccustomed mental switch we may discover a pattern in our attitudes and practices that consistently operates so as to benefit one group-usually the one to which we ourselves belong-at the expense of another.
Arguments in obvious ways can be said, men and women are similar beings, and should have equal rights, while humans and nonhumans are different and should not have equal rights. Women have a right to vote, for instance, because they are just as capable of making rational decisions as men are; dogs, on the other hand, are incapable of understanding the significance of voting, so they cannot have the right to vote. But in argument to that, many feminists hold that women have the right to an abortion on request. It does not follow that since these same people are campaigning for equality between men and women they must support the right of men to have abortions too. Since a man cannot have an abortion, it is meaningless to talk of his rights to have one. Since a pig can't vote, it is meaningless to talk of its right to vote. There is no reason why either Women's Liberation or Animal Liberation should get involved in such nonsense. The basic principle of equality, I shall argue, is equality of consideration; and equal consideration for different beings may lead to different treatment and different rights.
We say that all human beings, whatever their race, creed or sex are equal. Like it or not, we must face the fact that humans come in different shapes and sizes. If the demand for equality were based on the actual equality of all human beings, we would have to stop demanding equality. It would be an unjustifiable demand. The fact that humans differ as individualism rather than as races or sexes, is a valid reply to someone who defends a hierarchical society. If we tie the moral principle of equality to the factual equality of the different races or sexes, taken as a whole, our opposition to racism and sexism does not provide us with any basis for objecting to this kind of inegalitarianism.
There is no need to pin the case for equality to one particular outcome of this scientific investigation. The claim to equality does not depend on intelligence, moral capacity, physical strength, or similar matters of fact. Equality is a moral ideal, not a simple assertion of fact. There is no logically compelling reason for assuming that a factual difference inability between two people justifies any difference in the amount of consideration we give to satisfying their needs and interests. The principle of the equality of human beings is not a description of an alleged actual equality among humans: it is a prescription of how we should treat humans.
Jeremy Bentham incorporated the essential basis of moral equality into his utilitarian system of ethics in the formula: "Each to count for one and none for more than one." In other words, the interests of every being affected by an action are to be taken into account and given the same weight as the like interests of any other being. A later utilitarian, Henry Sidgwick, put the point in this way:"The good of any one individual is of no more importance, from the point of view of the Universe, than the good of any other." If possessing a higher degree of intelligence does not entitle one human to use another for his own ends, how can it entitle humans to exploit nonhumans?
Many philosophers have proposed the principle of equal consideration of interests, in some form or other, as a basic moral principle; but, as we shall see in more detail shortly, not many of them have recognised that this principle applies to members of other species as well as to our own. To the capacity for suffering as the vital characteristics that gives a being the right to equal consideration. The capacity for suffering-or more strictly, for suffering and/or enjoyment or happiness-is not just another characteristic like the capacity for language, or for higher mathematics. If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration. Most human beings are speciesists. It is not merely the act of killing that indicates what we are ready to do to other species in order to gratify our tastes when we eat meat. Our practice of rrearing and killing other animals in order to eat them is a clear instance of the sacrifice of the important interests of other beings in order to satisfy trivial interests of our own.
Humans show a bias in favor of his own species whenever he carries out an experiment on a nonhuman for a purpose that he would not think justified him in using a human being at an equal or lower level of sentience, awareness, ability to be self-directing, etc.
Philosophy ought to question the basic assumptions of the age. Thinking through, critically and carefully, what most people take for granted is, I believe, the chief task of philosophy, and it is this task that makes philosophy a worthwhile activity. In this respect the distinction between humans and nonhumans is not a sharp division, but rather a continuum along which we move gradually, and with overlaps between the species, form simple capacities for enjoyment and satisfaction, or pain and suffering, to more complex ones.
It is only when we think of humans as no more than a small subgroup of all the beings that inhabit our planet that we may realize that in elevating our own species we are at the same time lowering the relative status of all other species. The truth is that the appeal to the intrinsic dignity of human beings appears to solve the egalitarian's problems only as long as it goes unchallenged.
Warning of ease with which the best minds can fall victim to a prevailing ideology.

Nice set up. Variety of swimming pools (3) ideal for the kids. Bungalow was adequate for two people but sofa bed for two more was a bit basic. Self catering facilities were basic too. As a base to explore is was ideal but a car is essential. Reception needs the air-con repairing too. Air-con in the room was a life saver. Good value if you're not too fussy. Pleasant staff.

An Abundance of Katherines by: John Green
"Amazon" says: "When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy–loving best friend riding shotgun—but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, (go to their website to read more...)"
I am beginning to think that John Green can write anything. He does have a "Youtube channel - Vlog Brothers". I did purchase this myself on my kindle. 1st I read "The Fault in Our Stars", 2nd "Paper Towns", which are both movies, "Paper Towns - movie trailer", coming out Summer 2015. I have only read the books, not seen either movie. 3rd I decided to read this book "An Abundance of Katherines" (personally I am hoping this because a movie because I LOVED IT!!) ... 4th I am now reading "Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances", then I will read "Looking for Alaska" & "Will Grayson, Will Grayson". Have I missed any of John Green's books?
You may think - Beth you are reading way too much. You see I was sort of in a slump ...I had read the "Twilight" books - Stephenie Meyer, "All Souls Trilogy" - Deborah Harkness, and "50 Shades of Grey" - E.L.James ...& I was sort of like I don't and can't find anything that holds my interest any more. What is wrong with me?? But sure enough ...I found a few others including this one & I am hooked ...so when I have free time/moments I am holding my kindle & reading like crazy. Having a ball. (I remember as a kid, reading and reading. I prefer reading for pleasure not having to read because a teacher told me the book was good. I remember book reports, not fun!! unless I loved the book.) Check out this one & you will love it to pieces. I am not a math nut but I loved the story.
Here's a favorite line from the book: (see my video). Beth ( :

Lobuche peak climbing
Khumbu region have enough peaks. Lobuche peak is most favorable beautiful peak to climb. Before reaching on summits we need to cross two different summits. I.e. Lobuche east summits (6119 m) and Lobuche west summit (6145 m). They both are very giants. This makes our task difficult. With this we get thrilling and adventurous experience. This experience is taken with panoramic views of Everest mountain ranges. Our walking surroundings are fully covered with natural beauty. We capture every moment of climbing in camera. Later on when we view this we will again be refreshed with every moment.
Our starting and ending point of climbing Lobuche peak is Lukla. We take early morning mountain in both ways. Our flight goes for 1 hr. In this time we are offered with panoramic views of giant mountain ranges. It impresses us so much. We need to cross both Everest base camp and Gokyo Lake. It is said combination of Everest base camp and Gokyo Lake trek. To achieve up to summits we need to spend our night in Tengboche Dingboche, Lobuche, Pangboche and some other villages. Resting in leisure time we interact with local Tibetan culture people. Combination of all these features makes our climb fabulous.
Lobuche peak is in very distinct place of Khumbu region. We need to climb technically so our path goes challenging. Without experience it will be very difficult to climb. This trekking route is favorable in the month of September, October, November, December, March, April and May. If you are willing to do trek in the route of Lobuche peak, just have a link with Forever Trek Nepal Pvt. Ltd. You are fully secured with our team. We provide expert guides.

| MOSUL, Iraq
MOSUL, Iraq The first blast, down the street from his uncle's restaurant in eastern Mosul, sent Mohammed Badr racing towards the door to check the situation. The second one, moments later at the entrance of the restaurant itself, knocked him off his feet.Together, last Friday's twin suicide bombings killed 14 people and fractured the sense of safety and relief that many residents felt after Iraqi forces pushed the jihadists out of their neighbourhoods in months of heavy street-to-street fighting.The eatery, called My Fair Lady, stayed open throughout Islamic State's brutal 2-1/2 year rule in the northern city, serving few customers besides the fighters. It quickly expanded after recent military advances, gaining popularity with locals, soldiers and even foreign journalists covering the war.But restaurants and shops in the Zuhur district remain closed nearly a week later at the direction of security forces who say they could be targeted, and residents say they no longer feel safe staying out past dark."They don't want stability. They don't want life to return to Mosul," Badr said of Islamic State, which claimed the attacks. "I don't feel safe at all."Badr, who was supervising workers emptying the restaurant's pantry on Tuesday, told Reuters he does not expect to reopen."The restaurant is finished. Hajj Nasser (the owner) was the pillar of the community. He is a martyr," he said, holding back tears.Also killed in the attack were two of Nasser's other nephews, the guard who stopped the attacker from entering the restaurant, a longtime server and a young man who had just joined the staff that day."He started his first shift at seven-thirty in the morning and by two-thirty he was dead," said Badr, gazing at the spot on he floor where the men had died.SLEEPER CELLS
As government forces entered eastern Mosul in November, Islamic State militants retreated deeper into the city and mortared civilian areas left behind. They have also stepped up attacks against locals with grenades dropped from drones.But bombings like the one at My Fair Lady are different because they are likely conducted by sleeper cells, fighters who melted into the civilian population as the military advanced in order to attack the city from inside.The restaurant bombing was the second of its kind in the four-month-old Mosul battle after three car bombs killed at least 15 people in an eastern suburb in December.For the hundreds of thousands of residents in eastern districts, who defied expectations by staying in their homes throughout the offensive, this has put them on edge.False alarms about bombings at schools, markets and other public places have become a daily occurrence along with house raids by security forces following up on tips."Of course there are (sleeper cells) but God willing we will eliminate them," said a local police colonel in the eastern suburb of Gogjali, requesting anonymity to speak to the media.
Speaking at a girls' school used by the police after their station was destroyed, he said there were not enough local forces to secure the city, Iraq's second largest.The most effective Iraqi troops, including the elite counter-terrorism service, have redeployed to the outskirts of western Mosul - where Islamic State maintains full control - ahead of an offensive to retake that half of the city which is expected to start in the coming days.That has left east Mosul under the control of some army units, a few thousand local police and an array of voluntary, paramilitary forces called Hashid.NEW INSURGENCY?
The suicide bomber's head, burnt and bloodied, remains in a grassy traffic circle in front of the restaurant in Zuhur. It appeared to belong to a teenager.Islamic State said in an online statement that the attackers were Mosul natives. Reuters could not verify that, but if true it indicates the group maintains some support among locals.Badr, expressing contempt for the security forces, questioned how the bombers had crossed the myriad checkpoints in the neighbourhood to reach their targets."I don't expect but I fear things could become like 2006, 2007," he said, referring to the height of the Sunni insurgency in Mosul when bombings, assassinations and kidnappings were regular.The militants behind that violence included al Qaeda, a predecessor to Islamic State, which seized all of Mosul along with a third of Iraq and large swathes of territory in neighbouring Syria in 2014, declaring a modern-day caliphate on that land.Iraqi and Western officials have long expected Islamic State would revert to those earlier insurgent tactics as they lose ground.Basman, a 32-year-old paramedic living on the street between Friday's two bomb sites, said he didn't know who was in charge of security in his neighbourhood.He was unnerved that nobody had yet asked for his name to check it against the government's lists of Islamic State supporters."If the security forces don't clear and inspect everything, then what is the point of liberation?"

Back in the (what now seems like) distant summer, I met up with a lovely group of Bulgarian bloggers as part of my MA final project. I had a lot of fun with these girls and I'm hoping to introduce a few of them to you over the coming weeks, as well as their unique senses of style and wonderful blogs.
First up, Raya and her blog, Eden. Raya and I spent a summery afternoon in Sofia, wandering the streets and looking for fashionable people to photograph for my project. We had a great time and I really admire this girl's passion for high heels! Here are some of my favourite pics from Raya's blog, which you can check out here: http://rayabo.blogspot.com/, along with her 10 questions. Enjoy!
1. Blogging is...a really fun and interesting way to spend my free time.
2. When not blogging you can find me...spending time with friends, shopping or listening to music.
3. I could never leave the house without...my phone.
4. My style icon is...Anna Dello Russo.
5. When people meet me for the first time they usually think...I'm older and work something connected with fashion.
6. You'll never see me wearing...harem pants.
7. I can't live without...fancy shoes.
8. The best thing about being a Bulgarian blogger is that...it's still something not that popular and I get to be more appreciated as a newcomer.
9. My passion in life besides fashion is...music and medicine.
10. In 5 years time I see myself...studying in a university somewhere in Europe, preparing to take over the fashion world!

Saturday morning, different story, out of bed, grab the sledge and off to Wales to find a hill to slide down. We go to a field just outside of Mold near Loggerheads Country Park and so does everybody else, it was so busy with low flying people whizzing past us on a number of different modes of transport.
There were traditional old wooden sledges, modern plastic single seater and family size sledges; I even witnessed a metal roasting dish and a large sheet of plastic, any old thing will do.
Well we slipped and sled until we were wet through and could no longer feel our toes then headed back home - totally exhilarated !!
It's makes me laugh all the time I have to work I try to avoid the snow and ice so I don't slip over, come the weekend I purposely go seeking it so I can throw myself down a hill at speed.
Back home in my nest (my crafty corner of the living room) I've finished my mittens and am considering a matching cowl using the same horseshoe cable design. I think I'll make my own design but will put that aside for now. Looking through my UFO's (unfinished objects) I've decided to tackle some of these.
|Can you tell what it is yet?
1. Finish off an EWOK
2. Create bunting for my niece's nursery NAME BUNTING . I've made a couple of these for baby gifts, they make a change from the usual bootees.
3. A Sock Monkey Hat to honour an outstanding order
However look what I found in my stash today
Monday - Ewok
Tuesday - Bunting
Wednesday - sock monkey hat
Thursday - Noro socks for me
Friday - Noro socks for me
and so on and so on !
I've got a planned day off work tomorrow, do I go shopping or do I stay crafting hmm!!

Butterfly Conservation Wales Response
- Farmland is a vital habitat for butterflies and moths with over half of all species depending on it for their survival. Many of our threatened species, for which we have international obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity, breed on flower-rich semi-natural habitats that are maintained by traditional, low input farming.
- Properly focused Agri-environment Schemes (AES) have been shown to be highly successful at conserving some of Britain's most threatened butterflies. The recent State of UK Butterflies report (Fox et al, 2015) shows that they have helped reverse the long term decline of species like the Pearl-bordered Fritillary. Where correctly targeted they have also helped conserve populations of the Marsh Fritillary, a European threatened species, which relies on low intensity cattle grazing (Bourn et al, 2013; Prescott, 2012).
- Many other studies have shown that AES have helped halt and reverse the decline of butterflies and moths (e.g. Alison et al., 2016; Brereton et al., 2005, 2007, 2011; Davis et al, 2006; Taylor and Morecroft, 2009).
- AES have also helped to conserve species at a landscape scale, helping to reverse the fragmentation of habitats and enable long term conservation and resilience to climate change (Ellis et al, 2012). A key ingredient of these successes has been the specialist advice given by Butterfly Conservation staff and other advisors.
- It is vital that the positive lessons learned from delivering AES are implemented in future to maintain the diversity of Britain's wildlife. Future schemes need to be robust and outcome focused. This is a unique opportunity to redistribute support payments so that they are only paid where there are clear public goods, such as biodiversity improvement, flood prevention, clean water, carbon sequestration etc.
- The conservation of biodiversity requires a long term investment in land management. Many farmers have already made great commitments to achieve this under existing AES so it is especially important that a successor scheme is in place quickly to provide continuity of management and allow farmers security of income. Support for agriculture should ensure that farming continues to thrive, with restoration of the environment as a central feature of agricultural policy. A critical mechanism to enable this is an improved and expanded AES alongside maintaining Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC).
- Butterfly Conservation has also called for an equitable distribution of CAP resources to the devolved administrations to enable the delivery AES benefits across the UK. This is a unique opportunity to have flexible schemes that suit local conditions rather than constrained by the uniformity of a pan Europe scheme.
- There needs to be consideration of the transition from current support schemes to new systems. If the transition led to the loss of farmers and the land management skills they have, particularly on marginal land, it would be difficult for a new system to deliver its objectives.
A full list of references is available here: http://butterfly-conservation.org/3114-13397/improved-green-farming-schemes-are-vital-to-save-butterflies-when-we-leave-the-eu.html
Why the contribution is important
It will ensure public money is focused on supporting progressive, innovative farmers and land managers to meet diverse environmental challenges such as the restoration of species and habitats, storage of atmospheric carbon and the natural management of flood risk and drinking water and in doing so ensure the best use of the land in Wales for everyone.

WARNING: This post contains an excessive amount of photo collages.
It was a big night for us and we intended to celebrate in style. We booked a table at the Hilltop Casita restaurant in Tokyo for the occasion and decided to don our fanciest clothes. I was fairly certain I could fake my way through all the etiquette rules required, but I was stumped on what to wear. Looking at all my dresses, I had to ask myself, What Would Audrey Wear?
This gorgeous style icon has never steered me (or anyone else) wrong when it comes to her fashion sense. However, since I only found out about our reservation two weeks before hand, I didn't have time to browse the internet for that perfect Audrey look. And since I've absolutely abandoned the hope of finding clothes that fit me properly here, it was time to dig deep into the closet and see what I could find. I narrowed it down to three choices and then asked the advice of dear old mum.

After trying it on and determining how much to take in, I did a pinning to see if the fabric would fight back or be agreeable. Everything looked ok, so I took a quick photo to send to mum for her approval. But, standing in front of the mirror, I loved the look so much, there was no going back; I didn't even wait to hear from her. Besides, I think Audrey would approve.
It was a massive job since it has to be taken in from top to bottom at both sides. I worked on it for several days and said a few quick prayers when I put it on for the evening that the stitches wouldn't pop when I was hours away from home. Thankfully the evening was not only beautiful and memorable, my dress made it through without one popped stitch.
The meal was heaven at each course (all five of them) and the restaurant staff went the extra mile to make the evening special by having our names embroidered on napkins, personalized menus and champagne bottle, and for dessert we moved to a roof top view for a specially made latte and pear pancotta. To end the evening a staff member took our photo, then printed and framed it for us. It was by far the best date night we've ever had and if you find yourself in Tokyo looking for a fabulous night out, I whole heartedly recommend a little black dress and the Hilltop Casita.

MOUNT WASHINGTON — A man who allegedly stole a vehicle from a family member was apprehended in a basement early this morning after police sealed off an area near Oban and Oneonta drives.
The incident began when family members reported that the suspect had taken the vehicle without permission, said Sgt. Frank Gonzalez with the LAPD Northeast Division. After being spotted by officers, the suspect drove off at a high rate of speed as police followed. He ran into a home believed to be his residence, where officers eventually apprehended him in the basement, Gonzalez said.
A police helicopter hovered overhead and K9 units were called in during the search and standoff, according to LAPD scanner traffic monitored by Eagle Rock 911. The incident ended shortly after 1 a.m.

Just Listen: Broken Hands – Meteor
Broken Hands
Listen to Meteor here:
Perhaps not quite as instantly catchy as their last track, Death Grip, but Broken Hands still deliver the goods on new track Meteor. The lyrics might be a little too simple and repetitive for my personal liking, but the sounds they make are just too good not to share. The whole track throbs and resonates, full throttle, with an absolute wall of sound. I can't listen to it on full volume as it makes my earphones literally shake off my head.
Meteor is release on August 7th via SO recordings.

Nutrient Deficiencies May Not Be Linked to Cravings!
Actually, cravings are anecdotally connected with nutrient deficiencies for quite a while. Nevertheless, when checking out the evidence, a few arguments can be done against this "nutrient deficiency" theory. The following arguments are the most legitimate.
Cravings Are Gender Specific
Based on research, a person's cravings and their occurrence are in part influenced by gender. As an example, women appear to be about twice as likely to feel food cravings as men. Females are likewise more prone to crave sweet foods, like chocolate, while men are more likely to crave savory foods.
People who think that nutrient deficiencies trigger cravings usually propose that chocolate cravings derive from a magnesium deficiency, while savory foods are usually related to lack of intakes of sodium or protein.
Still, there is little facts to support gender differences in the risk of deficiency for any of these nutrients.
One research reports that men usually meet 66–84% of their recommended daily intake ( RDI ) for magnesium, while women satisfy around 63–80% of their RDI.
Furthermore, there's little evidence to support that men are more likely lacking in both sodium or protein than women. Actually, deficiencies in both of these nutrients are incredibly rare in developed parts of the world.
Limited Link Between Cravings and Nutrient Needs
The belief behind the "nutrient deficiency" theory is that people that have low intakes of particular nutrients are more inclined to crave foods containing those nutrients.
Nevertheless, there exists evidence that this is not always the case. As an example is a pregnancy, during which the baby's growth can twofold needs of certain nutrients.
The "nutrient deficiency" hypothesis might predict that pregnant women would crave nutrient-rich foods, in particular during the later stages of the baby's growth when nutrient needs are really high.
However, studies report that ladies usually crave high-carb, high-fat and fast foods while being pregnant, instead of nutrient-rich alternatives.
Moreover, food cravings often come up during the first half of pregnancy, making it less likely that they are caused by an increased caloric need.
Weight loss studies give other arguments against the "nutrient deficiency" theory. In one weight loss study, participants following a low-carb diet for 2 years noted much lower cravings for carb-rich foods compared to those following a low-fat diet. Likewise, participants put on low-fat diets for the duration of the same period noted fewer cravings for high-fat foods. In yet another study, very low-calorie liquid diets reduced the occurrence of cravings overall.
In case cravings were really triggered by a low intake of certain nutrients, the complete opposite effect would be expected.
Specific and Nutrient-Poor Food Cravings
Cravings are generally very specific and often not satisfied by eating anything other than the craved food. Nevertheless, many people are likely to crave high-carb, high-fat foods, instead of nutritious whole foods. For that reason, the craved foods are often times not the ideal source of the nutrient commonly linked to the craving.
For example, cheese cravings are usually believed to be the body's way to compensate for a lack of calcium intake. Still, craving foods like tofu could be very likely to fix a calcium deficiency, because it provides up to twice as much calcium per 1-ounce ( 28-gram ) portion.
Furthermore, it might be argued that folks with nutrient deficiencies would benefit from craving a wider variety of foods containing the required nutrient, instead of a single source.
As an example, it will is more effective for people deficient in magnesium to also crave magnesium-rich nuts and beans, not just chocolate.

Landlord forcibly ThrewTenant out of home
Hi Guys, not sure if i can ask this type of advice on RLA but a friend of mine asked for me for advice which I do not know the answer.
His son lives with his girlfriend and they both shared/signed a tenancy agreement to rent out a property that is owned by the girls step father to be. My friends son had an argument with his girlfriend who told her step father to be. The landlord came into the property and dragged my friends son out by the throat and frog marched him to the stop of the street and kicked him out of the home on the spot.
(this event was witnessed by several neighbours)
This was weeks ago and the landlord is refusing for him to get back into the property to get his belongings.
I have advised my friends son to goto a solicitors as a matter of urgency as I believe this is one of the worst things a landlord can do to their tenant?
Also at present, my friends son is having to sleep on his parents coach because they have no ore rooms as it is filled with other siblings.
If anyone can offer any advice or recommend a good tenancy lawyer this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Contemporary Sardinian Carpet
Contemporary Sardinian Carpet
Sardegna, Italy. ca. 2009
Material: 90 % White and Melange Wool & 10% Cotton
Available in custom sizes and colors.
This textile is created with a rice stitch creating Roman / Greek motif. It embodies the ancient and handcrafted artistic tradition of the island of Sardinia.
The Mediterranean island of Sardinia is known for its beautiful beaches, its pecorino cheese and, increasingly, for its unusual textile tradition. This has been influenced by a history of invaders and conquerors including the Phoenicians, the Ottoman Empire, and the Spanish. For centuries rugs and textiles have been produced using skills passed from mother to daughter.
The 'pibiones' hand-weaving technique creates motifs in raised bobbles to give a bas-relief effect. This is done by winding thread round a long needle held above the warp threads on the loom.

Whether you're a professional designer or a closet creative; we all dream of getting the chance to work on website designs for a popular brand.
Talented designers across the globe are taking to Dribbble to showcase their interpretation of famous websites we use daily. From Twitter to National Geographic, there are some incredible concepts out there that deserve some recognition.
Check out some of our favourite (unofficial) redesigns below – and don't forget to give the designers some love!
We love how Michal has made a feature of the IKEA brand colours, much more than the current site itself. The yellow accent colour enhances the design and creates a much stronger brand identity.
This modernised design has a significantly improved interface which provides the user with added functionality and an overall better user experience.
As a Vans junkie i was blown away by outdated design, weird layout choices and some very irritating UX issues
As a regular Skype user myself, I often think the look and feel is outdated and lacks professionalism. George has produced a great interpretation of this, keeping all Skypes handy features but with improved composition.
We are huge fans of Trello here at ELS and love Michals redesign concept. It would be great to see Trello implement a more minimalistic design like this.
Are you a Trello lover just like us?…created in response to the community's concerns
As a daily user of Twitter it's great to see how other people would change it. Ramil has produced a really clean profile page with some nice features, I particularly like how the content is split into 3 distinct areas with contrasting colours to show the divide.
Whilst YouTube already has some great features, it is really interesting to see a more cinematic approach. Aurélien has produced an interesting concept to improve the viewing experience and his notes are definitely worth a read!
National Geographic by Otto Prangishvilli
Otto has some great GIFs showcasing his work on Dribbble. This National Geographic concept displays some advanced animation and functionality which provides a much more engaging experience for the user than the current site.

I used several different polishes for this: China Glaze- Flying dragon as the base, a beautiful neon purple with loads and loads of blue and purple microshimmer. For the dots I used, Sinful Colors- Innocent (lime green), Zoya- Paz (neon orange), and Sinful Colors- Black on Black (black) and I added a black rhinestone to the top:)
Flying dragon had wonderful formula especially for a matte polish, not streaky at all and dry time was excellent!
And just for fun I decided to add topcoat pictures as well.

Forbes magazine and its web site, forbes.com, are owned by Steve Forbes, a former Republican presidential candidate. I say that so you will recognize that the source for this post is not some "liberal media" outlet.
In clear, devastating fashion, financial expert Robert Deitrick methodically dismantles the notion—so dearly held by Grumpy Old People—that St. Ronnie did everything better than anyone else.
Read the entire forbes.com article if you'd like, or just read this, the final paragraph (emphasis added):
Economically, President Obama's administration has outperformed President Reagan's in all commonly watched categories. Simultaneously the current administration has reduced the deficit, which skyrocketed under Reagan. Additionally, Obama has reduced federal employment, which grew under Reagan (especially when including military personnel,) and truly delivered a "smaller government." Additionally, the current administration has kept inflation low, even during extreme international upheaval, failure of foreign economies (Greece) and a dramatic slowdown in the European economy.
So the next time some ill-informed flag waver like Donald Trump ("Obama is the worst president ever!") or any other Fox News acolyte attacks President Obama's economic record, you now know where to turn for the facts.
As the mid-term election nears, remember that the GOP has consistently tried to block virtually every Obama initiative. Please help to counter them by supporting Democrats in any way you can. America's future is at stake.
Thanks for caring about the truth.
Please pass this message on.

Hamlin, PA: Roy Smith Memorial For Hampton RV Stage One Modifieds Headlines Saturday's Race Card At Hamlin Speedway
By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media
Hamlin Speedway, located in the picturesque Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, is closing in on the final three weeks of the 2015 racing season. With that, some special events are still on the horizon for the talented drivers and the great racing fans who have supported the speedway all season long.
This weekend on Saturday, September 5th, Hamlin Speedway will host the Roy Smith Memorial event for the Hampton RV And Trailer Stage One Modifieds. The 35-lap headliner will feature the stars and cars of the Stage One Modified division and the exciting division has been growing all season at the speedway. Led by defending track champion, "The Nickel Man" Joel Smith, the roster of talent for the division is as diverse as it is exciting. Smith leads the way with nine wins in the division and is also doing double duty in the 600 Sprints and has scored two wins in that division. "The Daredevil" Collin DuBois is second in wins with three and the talented teenager recently debuted a Spec Sportsman race car at the Accord Speedway. "Thrillin" Dylan Martin has captured two wins in the division and has also branched out into the 270 Sprint dvision. "Quick" Carl Bittenbender, "The Jeff-a" Jeff Hineline, "Kid Ice" Cole Hentschel and Wisconsin's Zach Marquardt have each scored a win during the 2015 racing season.
The supporting cast is quality all of the way with "The Jersey Girl" Erin Paulison residing in third place in points. "The Machinist" Mike Marold is fourth, Bill Reidenbach sixth, 68 year old Will Casazza eighth, Jakson Ring ninth and Joel Price rounding out the top ten. Additional stars expected include "The Branchburg Bandit" John Comandini, youngster Alex Yankowski, Bill Dianella, Mark Henneforth, John Lakatos and newcomer Steve Darling. Last year's event was captured by Joel Smith and in 2013 "The Icon" Pat Bealer marched into victory lane in a rare appearance in a Stage One Modified.
The event is an annual affair at the speedway named in honor of the patriarch of the Smith Family, Roy Smith. The Smith name has remained synonymous to the local racing scene for the past six decades as father Roy Smith was a pioneer in the golden era of racing with his signature numbered 555 race cars that had many top drivers wheeling the equipment such as Freddy Adam, Bobby Bottcher, Billy Tanzosh, Mr. Del George, George Sleight, Marty Acker, Johnny Cabral, Warren Mutter and Richie Smith among them. "Rapid Rich", while leaving the driver's seat in the mid-90's, has utilized his years of knowledge while steering a race car to come up with a scaled version of the full sized Modified cars he drove to many wins during his driving career. The cutting edge, sleek looking Stage One Modified is the finished product from Smith Fabrications and the cars are eye-catchers when on display or at speed. Incorporating his solid background in racing and the technical know how to improve upon the finished product, the Stage One Modified is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship from the master fabricator Richie Smith. Touting affordability, safety and fun as the race car's primary selling points, a ready to race unit is priced in the neighborhood of $12,000.00. For additional information regarding the Stage One Modifieds, log-on to their website at: www.smithfabrications.com or contact Richie by phone at: 610 462 4302. Family Matriarch Evelyn Smith is expected in for the event honoring her late husband.
Lap sponsorships are available for this great event. The laps are $10.00 each and all of the money collected will go right back to the drivers. It is a great cause for the division as the racing has been exciting and competitive all season long. All lap sponsors will be named before the event goes green on Saturday night.
If you have not yet experienced an evening of racing at Hamlin, next week would be the ticket to come out and witness the best small car division racing in the country. With only three shows left in 2015, the drivers will have to be at their best should they have aspirations for a track title.
Racing every Saturday evening from April through September. The next event on the Hamlin Speedway schedule is set for September 5th when all Divisions will be in action on the 1/5th mile clay cushioned oval highlighted by the Roy Smith Memorial. for the Hampton RV and Trailer Sales Stage One Modifieds plus a race for the Mechanics. Make sure to check the Hamlin Speedway website or Facebook page for any additional information. Pit Gates open at the speedway at 3 PM; Drivers Meeting at 5:45; Hot Laps are at 6:00 and the racing begins at 7 PM sharp. Admission Prices for regular shows are: Adults $10.00; Senior Citizens $5.00 Children under 6 are Free
Please support the many great sponsors who assist in working and sponsoring the season long events at the speedway. Tilcon, Yankowski Enterprises, Triple Cities Mack, Dickie Keiper Speed Supplies, Ron Brown Hauling, Classic Cycles, Kim's Kreations, RockAuto.com, Howe's Comfort Inn and Santarelli And Sons Oil Company are all part of the advertising family at the speedway and we graciously thank them for their support.
