Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom's ninth-month-old son, Flynn, is already set to be a heartbreaker! His Aussie supermodel mom is determined to find him a match made in fashion heaven.
The 28-year-old model has found him a potential girlfriend amongst British designer, Stella McCartney's brood of four. Miranda said, "It's funny because Stella's little girl Reiley is almost the same age as Flynn, so watch out — Flynn might start dating her."
And how does the model balance work and motherhood? "I'm still breastfeeding so I have to express milk and send it back to Flynn and then try and see him on my breaks. I was up for hours last night as he's teething. And when he's crying, he just wants Mommy! It's such hard work."
Luckily Orlando is not all just good looks – he's also talented in the nursery. "He loves changing diapers! But seriously, he's very hands on. I really couldn't ask for a better dad," explains Miranda.

The role of Chancellor goes back to the twelfth century, and has always involved responsibility for education and learning in the Cathedral. In the 21st century this means such things as having oversight of the Cathedral's Education and Visitor Services Departments, delivering an annual series of public lectures, and being Canon Librarian. The current role also includes being a school governor, a trustee of the George Bell Institute, a governor at the University of Chichester, a board member of Cathedral Enterprises Ltd, a member of the diocesan advisory group for MACE (Ministry and Adult Christian Education) and a national Bishop's Adviser for Ordained Ministry.
Anthony read English at the University of Cape Town, trained for ordination at Westcott House in Cambridge, and his PhD is from the University of Birmingham (published as The Place of Judas Iscariot in Christology in 2003). Since ordination in 1990 he has worked as a University Chaplain, Parish Priest, and Diocesan Officer for Adult Education.
In the latter role he designed a new diocesan training programme for curates in collaboration with the University of Chichester.
Anthony is married, with three children. Having played football for most of his adult life, the passing years now restrict him to an occasional kickabout in the garden and supporting Chelsea. He continues to enjoy hill walking, the cinema and reading novels.

I'm in my 14th year instructing high school students in Film. Editing, Lighting, Special Effects, Graphic Design, Sound Design and Photography using CS6 Suite
For those teachers who hand out the assignment before teaching the skills. I was wondering what your views were on Project Based Learning where students learn on the go and your teaching is synchronised with the assignment requirements. Does it work or have you tried more effective approaches.
Passionate creative. Teacher - English/ Yearbook/ Technology/ Design. Freelance designer. Potter. Reflector of all things philosophical and pedagogical.
This is the curriculum map, standards-aligned, activities, assessments, etc.
Dieser kurze Einführungskurs richtet sich an alle Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, die mit der Nutzung von Adobe Behance, My Portfolio und Spark beginnen wollen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf digitalen Portfolios und deren Bewertung liegt.
Born on the west coast of Canada I spent my days as a freelance photographer up until 2015 when I started at Vancouver Community Colleges Graphic Design Dept.
This resource provides an overview, syllabus, and sample student work for a college-level media production course. The primary learning outcome for the course is for students to deepen their understanding of "how media work" both rhetorically and materially by (re)presenting the same documentary narrative in five different modes, using at least five different Adobe Creative Cloud applications: (1) Print Magazine using InDesign (2) Audio Podcast using Audition (3) Film using Premiere Pro (4) Website using Muse, Spark, or XD (5) Mobile Application using XD [*6] Photography using Photoshop *Note that in this class, students didn't present photographic collections per se, but they used Photoshop a great deal to develop media for the other genres and applications.
Can "creativity" be graded? If so, how do you grade a students "creativity" in an assignment? If not, why? Let's Talk!
I teach and research digital literacy at the university level, which includes undergraduate, graduate, and general curriculum responsibilities.
Recording of my Adobe webinar on using the restriction method The restriction method is a really valuable technique for encouraging creative thinking, problem solving and boundary-less play. Placing restrictions on tasks or processes can open up entirely new approaches to skills, techniques or ideas. It's seems counter-intuitive but it is a great way to help kick-start creative thinking. How many different ways could you animate the same image? I set myself this challenge in 2015 and I am still finding heaps of new ways of doing it (and developing new skills) https://www.behance.net/gallery/29859911/CMYK-Self-Portraits https://www.behance.net/gallery/25274205/GIF-Self-Portraits
A perfect little video on Colour Theory by Rhea Lelina Manglapus. It's a motion piece made with After Effects and Illustrator and is a great way to introduce (or reintroduce) students to some of the important concepts of colour theory in a visually interesting and entertaining way. Have a look on her Behance page for more works as well as some single frames and GIFs of some sections. She is quite talented.
Presented by Vancouver Film School Instructor Paul Jensen Talk Theme: The concept of story is as old as human experience, language, and the desire to make sense of our existence. Throughout this lecture we will explore the origins of story, its archetypal structure in myth, and we'll focus on how these journey patterns are fundamental in various art mediums; including Film, TV, Video Games & Digital Design.

Over the course of this year I have been attempting to build my skills in a range of Adobe programs (particularly Photoshop and After Effects). I have given myself a task using the restriction method where I must create as many new animations as possible using the same source material. Each animation must be based around the image you see here (or some derivative of it) - an emblem of sorts that I have created for myself. The animations must also perform a perfect loop so that they can be saved as GIFs. Although not a specific restriction I have also been endeavouring to keep file size small given the nature and use of GIFs. Skills in programs like Photoshop and After Effects are like muscles in the body - if you exercise them they will grow and strengthen and if not you will begin to lose the ability to do things you once found simple. This exercise has been a great boon for me in terms of my own skills and my creative thinking and problem solving - I can only imagine what students would get out of it. I look forward to implementing this as a project with one of my classes in the future. It would be great as a weekly or fortnightly task covering the entire year. I can only imagine the sort of creative boost students could get from this. Obviously you could easily change it away from animation to anything else - the restriction and the repetition are the important factors. This link features a pretty great explanation of the restriction method and some of its benefits. I've also included links to some of the GIF self portraits and GIF CMYK self portraits I made as part of this task - see below.

We speak on the phone every couple few days. By her tone I can tell she knows it's me, at least at first. In most conversations of late she asks me where I am, how long I'll be here and when I am coming to visit. We do-si-do around these topics for ten minutes or so as I sprinkle in some questions of my own.
"How are your knees?" I ask.
"Oh, they're pretty ... easy," she replies, and by that I understand they aren't hurting her too much.
"What's the weather like today, Mom?"
"Not so good, stuff is coming all over and it's ... heavy," she explains, and I confirm that she means it's rainy and grey.
"Yes! That's exactly!" She adds.
Mom turned eighty-three on Election Day and I asked her how it felt to be that old.
"That can't be!" she exclaimed.
"So, how old do you feel, Mom?"
"Well, I hadn't really thought about it."
"Fifty?" I asked.
"No, not quite."
"I think you're about right."
That day was a good one for her. She seemed more lucid, sharp.
"Mom, you're great," I continued.
"Well, thank you veddy, veddy much," she spouted in her usual upbeat way, "but you're the great one."
"You know why I'm great, Mom?"
"Because you're my daughter," she answered plainly, and I knew she was on her game.
Today's conversation wasn't so good, though at least she was happy-go-lucky. I told her about Calvin and she asked when she'd get to meet him, forgetting that she'd met him before. I mentioned the difficulty in traveling with Calvin and she wondered why. "Well, Mom, because he can't talk and he can't walk by himself and he's still in diapers, so it makes travel hard," and I went on to explain about his seizures and the drugs. "I'm so sorry," she said in a sad tone, "will he ever ... grow up?" I told her I wasn't sure but that I didn't think so.
"When are you coming to visit?" she asked for the third time.
"I'll try to get out there in the springtime, Mom."
"OHHHH! That would be super-duper! I better write that down somewhere so that I remember," she added, concentrating.
"I'll remember for you, Mom, you don't have to worry about a thing."
"Oh, all right, if you say so," she piped.
Then she asked me again when I'd be visiting.

As we know, for now, bundled Cydia is the best alternative application for all the Apple devices, but not available to download in the app stores. Download Cydia is not allowed for the iOS devices by Apple company. Millions of users are trying Cydia because of much more features. Currently, you can download Cydia for the latest iOS 11.1.1 release. Here is my attempt to discuss how we can download Cydia iOS 11.1.1 running devices. So read the article for more new.
Apple has been rolled out the recent issue fixed update of iOS 11 last week. iOS 11.1.1 came out with fixes for a couple of issues on iOS 11.1 and with minor security additions too. Apple has not been launched any betas for this new update and, they are still seeding betas for iOS 11.2 upcoming download and we can guess that Apple is patching more jailbreakable exploits with make tough the security further.
Is that possible to Jailbreak iOS 11.1.1 for Download Cydia on iOS devices?
A few years back, the jailbreak was the only way to get Cydia apps for iDevices. It was a hard process to continue until end. Cydia download gets functional only with a successful jailbreak or semi-jailbreak download. Apple didn't accept extra apps downloading and jailbreak yet. Still, we have no any compatible tool to download Cydia on iOS 11 or iOS 10 releases. The recent jailbreak demos have been released bu KeenLab jailbreak and Pangu download. Pangu has been demoed on iOS 10.2.1 Jailbreak and KeenLab has been demoed on iOS 11.1.1 Jailbreak on iPhone X device. Keen jailbreakers tweeted about the demo last week and they mentioned that it was only for testing purposes.
We can download Cydia iOS 11.1.1 and all other versions for now with CydiaPro cydia installer tool. With browse the cydiapro.com website directly and run the process online, we can get bundled Cydia application for the device that we want to Jailbreak. Through launch this online method, we can purchase more extra apps for the device, that we need to customize the device. Finally, we've to mention that, still we haven't successful jailbreak update, but we are yet possible to make semi jailbreak conditions for any of iOS releases.

Fascinating facts about furniture
Here we aim to enlighten our customers about the .............
The British Furniture Timber Trade
1: Mahogany
Have you ever wondered why so much good English eighteenth and nineteenth century furniture is made of mahogany? After all, when we holiday on the Continent we are, more often than not, confronted with those countries' native timbers when we sit down to supper in a French gite or an Italian pensione. Oak, walnut, chestnut or cherry are the likely timbers of choice for the tables and chairs of our European neighbours. Why then, did folk of the middling sort in the British Isles eat from mahogany tables and sit on finely-wrought mahogany chairs made from exotic wood which had been imported across the ocean at seemingly high cost? (Indeed, in Eighteenth Century England the word 'mahogany' was often substituted for the word 'table', so common was its use for this particular item of furniture).
Well, of course, our great mercantile tradition was at the root of it all. English buccaneering, merchant-adventurers from the time of Elizabeth the First established trading posts and settlements in the Americas, extracting commodities like sugar-cane, tobacco and dyewood (commonly known as logwood) for use in our renowned woollen industries back home.
We have a long tradition of importing timber for building-joinery and furniture-making, going back to the fifteenth century. Scots pine and spruce came from Scandinavia and slow-grown wainscot oak (which was mild-mannered and beautiful to work) was sourced from the primeval forests once bordering the Baltic Sea. Walnut too, was imported, mainly from France, but as we were so often at war with that country supplies were presumably somewhat erratic.
But Mahogany was something else entirely! The best of it came from the West Indies. The timber was hard and durable, of good red colour and capable of being worked to a fine lustre. The trees were often huge, yielding fine wide boards that remained stable when used as table leaves. Comparable wide, home-grown oak boards were prone to twist and warp, and imported Baltic wainscot boards (while of superior-quality) seldom exceeded 12inches in width.
The interlocking grain of highly-figured mahogany logs, when cut into veneers, produced outstandingly beautiful flame-like curls, mottles and ripple-patterns that, when polished, reflected the light falling upon it in myriad different directions, astonishing the eye.
Mahogany was the timber of choice for cabinet-makers, chair-makers and their clients throughout most of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. It was used for all manner of furniture, both in the solid and as much-admired decorative veneer.
Throughout our long love-affair with mahogany, many other timbers (often with only a passing resemblance to mahogany) have been miss-described and traded as such. But there are only three true species, Swietenia mahogani, S. macrophylla and S. humilis and they are all native to tropical America. Until the late 19th Century it was thought that the different characteristics and quality of mahogany were dependent on the varying conditions of soil and climate, but botanists, at that time, finally established the classification of all three species, showing their geographically-distinct distribution.
The best of the mahoganies, S. mahogani, was found in the West Indies as far north as the Bahamas and the Florida Keys, and as far south as the Windward Islands (but not extending to Trinidad). It is the most dense and richest in colour and figure and can be worked to the finest lustre. There are variations of character and quality within the species. Timber originating from Cuba differs from Hispaniola (or Spanish) mahogany grown in St. Domingo and Haiti. Overall, S. mahogani commanded the highest prices for American mahogany landed at the docksides of Liverpool, Lancaster, Bristol and Gloucester.
Nowadays, Caribbean timber of this quality is impossible to obtain, having long since been logged out.
The second quality of mahogany is S. macrophylla, which is softer and with a more open grain structure. This species is widely distributed throughout continental Central and South America and as far south as Bolivia and Peru. Introduced to the British furniture trade in the 1760s this species was first logged around the Bay of Honduras and was known as Honduras mahogany or simply as bay-wood. These trees were often of enormous size, some 100 foot high and with a trunk diameter of close to six foot. The timber was used for wide table leaves and for carcase furniture onto which the better quality and more expensive Swietenia mahogani was veneered. S. macrophylla or Honduras mahogany was the staple material for the furniture trade and as we shall see was hardly more expensive than deal or wainscot oak.
So mahogany was the wonder-wood with all the necessary attributes to supply a burgeoning and high-quality furniture market- but what about the cost of shipping the stuff across the Atlantic by wind and sail?
The trade of logwood, sugar, and rum from the West Indies and tobacco from Virginia was already well established during the first two decades of the eighteenth century and small shipments of mahogany had been landed on English shores from 1700 onwards.
As the demand for sugar and tobacco increased, so did the level of shipping plying its way across the Atlantic and, when the sugar cane or tobacco harvest failed or diminished, ships' captains were faced with the prospect of returning home at best partially-laden. So they found a substitute cargo to offset the cost of the voyage. This cargo was often mahogany. The difficulty the shippers faced was that all import duty and charges had to be paid at the docks before landing what was a speculative cargo without a ready sale.
In order to maintain the viability of the West Indian trade and that of the British possessions in North America, the government passed the Naval Stores Act of 1721 abolishing the import duty on all timbers from the Americas. This Act had the effect of greatly boosting the trading economy of the West Indies and transforming mahogany from a little-known exotic timber into the mainstay of the British furniture industry.
Without import duty the price of mahogany compared favourably with that of imported Baltic oak or European walnut and, with its fine lustre and colour, it quickly became fashionable. And so began our very English love affair with this remarkable timber.
Colin Piper, Feb. 2013
In writing this article the author has drawn heavily on the research carried out by Adam Bowett and set out in his recent publication "Woods in British Furniture-Making 1400-1900" Pub: Oblong Kew 2012
2: The difference between restoration & conservation
All too often, good old pieces of furniture can be spoiled by an over-zealous attempt to make them look perfect, and as new, masking signs of use and sometimes replacing perfectly good but damaged timber with inferior, modern replacements. At its worst, this resulted in such 'furniture factories' as sprang up in the first quarter of the 20th century, altering pieces of furniture or even manufacturing 'antiques' which were in fact composite pieces made from salvaged components.
If you are looking for furniture that has been stripped, sanded and refinished to look like new this is not the website for you. We would urge you to look for reproduction or replica furniture which is very pleasing in its own right. This will help to preserve our diminishing stocks of historic furniture from the clutches of insensitive, so-called restorers who, out of ignorance, carry out such trade.
The restoration work that is done on 'Piper Chatfield's antique furniture has at its heart the concept of conservation: this involves the wish to stabilise, strengthen and maintain the integrity of old furniture, working wherever possible with materials to match the age and type of the original, and using reversible techniques wherever possible.

Still trying to figure it out
I am still trying to figure this blog world out. There seems to be so many people that already have it figured out and I feel dumb that I can't get the cute things on my blog that others have. I am still trying to make sure I don't click on something and delete the whole account. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I finally bought this gorgeous Oasis dress after looking at it longingly since this post back in December! It went into the sale last week so I snapped it up for just £35. It's perfect for when I need to dress smarter for work (and wear a longer length!) When I am in my office I wear whatever I fancy but sometimes needs must, I'm just thankful that I don't ever have to wear suits. It arrived yesterday so I thought I would take some snaps to share with you as I tried it on. Perfect for today's meeting :)

When I am in my office I wear whatever I fancy but sometimes needs must, I'm just thankful that I don't ever have to wear suits. It arrived yesterday so I thought I would take some snaps to share with you as I tried it on. Perfect for today's meeting :)

Love the grey dress, looks very smart for a meeting!
wow, that's a dress-dedication right there!ReplyDelete
I actually love grey, so I think this outfit is gorgeous, and you're so lucky to have a bit of free reign at work - i have to wear all black and trust me....that is definitely not my friend! x
You're adorable !ReplyDelete
I have hundreds of dresses too and our house is just full of them; I have them hanging on doors, walls, windows, everywhere! The boy is very supportive luckily and as he has an study for his drums and computers doesn't mind me taking over the house!ReplyDelete
I am lucky and can wear pretty dresses to work every day; I have to be careful with cleavage and length as I am a teacher but I tend to dress up everyday as it makes me feel better!
I'm lucky that I can wear what I like to work so I always wear a dress and make an effort. I find it difficult when I go out to make it look like I've made an effort because I always wear a dress it doesn't look any different :( xxReplyDelete
Great work dress, wow if you had a blog sale of any of those I would buy some! 500, that's ah-mezin, if you have a daughter I bet she'd love raiding your wardrobe!! xxReplyDelete
love this for work :)ReplyDelete
i'm lucky too that i can wear whatever i like to the office, bt i do try to make an effort when we have meetings here etc. i will never own a suit tho, i don't do trousers!
i am having an epic clearout of my wardrobe room this weekend, i just don't have space for anything / all of it. i have hundreds of dresses too and hundreds of shoes and clearly need a bigger flat :(
You're so lucky you can wear whatever you want to work - I have a uniform so I hardly ever get to wear actualy clothes!ReplyDelete
500! Amazing! Please put up a picture of how you store them, I'd love to see, I have to limit my buying cos of lack of storage xReplyDelete
Where on earth do you keep them all?!? Love that dress. I work in a legal office and, although I push the envelope a bit with what I wear, it has to be fairly smart. Much to my chagrin! xReplyDelete
really nice & smart! perfect for the office!ReplyDelete
500 dresses?! :OReplyDelete
I didn't realise you liked dresses that much! Also second the dress collection post comment!
Wow thats a lot of dresses! I wish I could have that many! your so lucky being able to wear what you like I have to wear... (it needed a pause because its so awful) a SUIT every single day!ReplyDelete
We even get an email as it starts to get warmer about skirt length and necklines to remind us that we are in an office and they need to be appropriate. People have acutally been called in about their clevage and skirt length! Bring me back to 2011!!! xoxo
Yep, I DEFINITELY want to come round and play dress up at your house :) As soon as I saw that dress in the Oasis sale I thought of you :) Hope your meeting went OK :)ReplyDelete
Maria xxx
500 dresses? jesus WEPT. do a wardrobe post!! how do you store them all? haha i thought i had loads! HA as for your uniform q - the main reason i've just left my job is because of what they deem appropriate is basically nothing i own. and because it was a shitty temp thing anyway i didn't want to splash out on a trouser suit for no reason. URGH. i hope i end up in a job where i can where anything! xReplyDelete
I really like this dress, a girl I work with has it though so I can't really buy it!ReplyDelete
I really like that grey dress!ReplyDelete
I'm SUPPOSED to wear a polo shirt with our department logo on, but I rarely wear it cos it's horrible and fits badly. I just wear trousers and a plain top, usually. I wish I could wear dresses and heels to work but I have to crawl on/under desks and stuff so it wouldn't be practical! xx
No way not boring!ReplyDelete
wow that is A LOT of dresses! And also a few a week? How much money do you spend on dresses? I can only dream of being able to buy a few new dresses a week! You should have a blog sale Sarah :) For work I started off dressing quite conservatively but now I try to dress more quirky and colourful. The only rule we have to follow is no jeans and no trainers which isn't hard for me. Oh and also nothing obscenely short.ReplyDelete

Buying and selling land, and succession
Why did you decide to sell the land that you did, like, to the Andrews, and that 27 acres?
Roly: Well, the main reason for that, we were still paying off the farm. Old Keating put the interest rates up to 21% and we were pretty short of cash.
Fay: No, not really.
Roly: We weren't—
Fay: No, it was just that Andrews come up and offered us $15,000 for that, and that was well and truly a bargain for those days.
Roly: Yes, yes. See, we'd been renting that home out to different ones.
Fay: And we'd had a couple in there that didn't pay their rent, knocked the place around and—
Roly: We thought rather than continue along that line we'd just sell the home and 10 acres there.
Fay: We were still buying other properties, so we thought better off to sell.
Roly: Yes, and put the money towards the sale.
Fay: So that's what we did, paid off some of the mortgage. And the 20 odd acres, well, he just kept pestering us, pestering us to sell it for years, and eventually Role agreed to sell it, but I don't think he should have done. I was always up against it – but, anyway, he sold it.
To a neighbouring farmer?
Fay: Yes. It was the only flat ground. He had no flat ground at all around his house or anything, where this went almost to his house and was reasonably flat. That was why he wanted it, anyway.
Roly: That piece of ground originally belonged to people by the name of Blackmans.
To think that it was time to sell, how did you start to make that sort of judgment?
Roly: Old age.
Fay: I just wasn't well enough to keep going, and Role had had, well, it wasn't a heart attack, but he picked up a virus around his heart, so he wasn't supposed to be working.
Roly: Then I fell down out of a damned tip truck and broke the hip. What happened, I had the truck come in to deliver gravel, and anyway, it was a wet time and they'd knock off for a period and then they came back, and I had to go down in the truck to show them where to put the gravel, because we had a long laneway that went right down from where Kerry's bails are there, right halfway to Nimbin, you know, through the paddock.
Anyway, I got into the truck okay, but getting out it, half the running-board was missing on the passenger side. Of course, I had my foot up inside the cabin and I missed the running step with the other foot, because the step was about that far off, because I had one foot up and one foot down on the ground. Of course, I did a sugar-doodle over backwards and—
Fay: Broke the ball off his hip.
Roly: Anyway, I had a full replacement. I'm getting to the stage where this one is starting to give me trouble, too. Anyway, that was the beginning of the end. Then we—
Fay: We were both 70, or in our 70s.
Roly: Yes. The kids were all leaving home.
Fay: They were all leaving home. They were all going to Uni and so forth.
And obviously none of them were—
Roly: Darryl would have. Darryl is just allergic to too much on the farm, in the way of dust and – he'd go mowing the lawn and he'd come out in blisters and—
Fay: All over him. You know, Paspalum grass, he was very allergic to it. Well, the farm had a lot of Paspalum grass on it. He'd mow the lawn, even where he's living down in Grafton, if there's any Paspalum grass and he throws a little bit up on his arm, he's got great big blisters come up on his arm. He's very allergic to it, and he's allergic to a lot of other weeks. I had him tested, because when he was – what age was he – he would have been around 10 or 11. Anyway, the baby at the time, she was only a few months. He was rolling round in the weeds down in the garden with her, playing with her, no shirt on, just a pair of shorts. It didn't hurt the baby, but he come up in blisters all over him. We couldn't work out what – they sent him in to—
We took him down to Nimbin to the doctor, and he said, 'Oh, he's allergic to things. He can't stay out on the farm. You'll have to go in—-' Well, my Mum looked after him. She used to bandage him all up because all these blisters broke and he was a mess. Anyway, we took him up and had him tested, and they told us to go round like, where he was, and get as many weeds as we could. You'd be surprised how many bits of different weed we'd got, and most of the specialists we went to knew what they were. They had them all documented, about what they all were.
Anyway, about half of them, Darryl was allergic to.
What sort of weeds are you talking about?
Fay: Farmers' friends, you know, just common weeds. Anyway, they said he just couldn't stay on the land, he was allergic to the cattle allergic to the cat. They said we could have a dog; we couldn't have a cat.
And did he actually have to live off the farm with your mother?
Fay: Yes, he left the farm. Well, then he went to school, Richmond River High School, and he worked with the Forestry until he retired.
So you kept, you'd stuck it out for a long time, as long as you—
Fay: —-as we could. We always had someone working for us but, still, you can't employ enough to – and they don't look after things the same as you look after them yourself, either. Then we tried share-farmers, because you just couldn't sell the dairy because of the downturn and everything in the dairy industry. You just couldn't sell a dairy farm, and we went to a couple of agents in town and they said, 'Look, just put a share-farmer on,' so we did that. They had good credentials – you never saw such credentials as the first one had. I rang a couple of people up that had employed him: 'Oh, yes, he's quite a good worker.' So we put him on.
We found out how good he was afterwards.
Nearly send us broke. See, with his contract we couldn't go down and take over anything. He wouldn't buy any feed for the cattle whatsoever and it was drought conditions. We lost cattle through it.
And anyway, in the end Lisa in at Norco, she talked to some of the solicitors and that, and they said, well, there's one way out of it. The cattle must be fed, so tell them to go ahead and order feed, buy feed in, put it half in his name, and Norco sent meal out, took it off his dairy cheque. They said, 'As soon as we do that, he's going to leave,' because he said, 'If you go buying feed, I'm leaving.' Like, he put it over that it was us that broke the contract. Anyway, because Norco did it and took it off his cheque, well, he just left. He gave us about a week's notice and went.
Roly: And Fay and I had to go back dairying.
Fay: We had him there for three months, and then we put another young couple on. Well, they had good credentials. He'd been working in a dairy down south and they gave him a good rap and everything, but when he came to managing the dairy on his own, he just wasn't up to doing it.
We lost more cattle. The cattle actually got – we'd never had it before, but it was nothing to do with the amount of fertilizer you put on the ground, but you can get a poison off it. I forget what they call it now.
Roly: The grass tetany—-
Fay: The grass tetany – and it can be caused through using too much urea and that, but we hadn't used it, even the amount of urea that we were advised to, let alone too much. Anyway, they told him not to put it on any of the paddocks until they went round and tested them. So he just turned the cattle in on the paddocks he was told not to turn them on, didn't he?
He had good paddocks of feed there down further away, but he was too lazy to drive the cattle over there, so we lost a lot more cattle through it. Altogether, I don't' know how many head of cattle we lost. They were valuable cattle, valuable registered cattle.
So anyway, that was the end of him, and he took some – Collins, I can't think of the Christian name now, Collins up near Kyogle, anyway.
Fay: And he advertised for someone, $1000 a month, so they applied for it, so they actually broke the contract. We didn't care. We didn't know how we were going to get rid of them. Anyway, he put them on. Anyway, he was only there for eight or nine months and he sold everything up. He said they sent him broke.
So that was the end of them dairying up in this area. They were, well, as far as he was concerned, they got $1000 whether they did anything or not, so they didn't do anything, did they? Didn't even bother milking his cows, just let his cows go dry.
When you've got that many cattle – because I don't know – do you have a relationship with the cattle?
Fay: You do, of course you do.
Roly: They like to be tended. They're family.
Fay: You know every cow individually, and you know their temperament and everything else about them.
Roly: You get so friendly with the cattle, they're like part of the family. We had them all registered and tattoos on their ears, and we knew all the family breeding, right back.
So every time there was anything like those last years when you saw them being knocked about—
Fay: Oh, it was cruel, what they did.
And when was this?
Fay: This was 2002, we put the first one on – I'm not sure of the exact date now – he come on at the end of 2002. Then we went back to working it ourselves, until Kerry bought it in June 2003. We never advertised it. Kerry come up and wanted the farm.
Roly: Just a private sale.
So you then stayed on the farm, is that right, for a little while?
Fay: Yes, we lived in the top home. We had two homes on the property. Kerry only wanted one home.
Roly: We'd already moved up into the top home, and we tried to work the dairy from up there. We're up over the range, back on the Tuntable Creek Road.
Fay: Just here somewhere, our house. It's a green roofed place down over a fairly steep driveway, you know, you come round that sharp corner? You'd know the house.
Are you talking about – is that now where Fiona is?
Fay: No, she's not the home we were in. She's in another home again. When Role's father died in '89, we sold the home to Del Sizemore.
Roly: He had already had three acres cut off.
Fay: That's how Fiona come to get the three acres with it, and then Del Sizemore put it up for sale and Fiona bought it. They were looking to buy a home at the time.
Roly: They were living in our home.
Fay: And they wanted to buy their own home, so they bought the homestead back again, and that was about 2000.
So you were able just to stay–
Roly: We worked a deal out with Kerry that we had the home rent-free for five years initially. We worked a deal out with him. We had it rent-free for five years, so we paid no rent—
Fay: And at the end of the five years Kerry was supposed to pay us out and he couldn't sell his block of ground he wanted to sell to pay us out, so he said, 'Well, you can have another two years interest free.' We jumped at it. Suited us.
Roly: We stayed on for another couple of years.
Fay: He went on just paying his interest on his money.
And what was he doing on the farm at the time?
Roly: He was dairying.
Fay: Yes, dairying. He started off dairying. Then I don't know what happened, he closed the dairy down. We were away. I was in hospital, don't know where, when he closed the dairy down, but he closed it down all at once. Something happened, and he took the cattle out to Woodlawn. No, they were already out there.
That was his own herd – and then he brought some of his own herd over and milked it with our Guernseys, and then when he closed the farm down, he took the whole lot back to Woodlawn, and then he started up the goats and got into the cheese-making, and now he's putting up another dairy.
Roly: Well, he's putting it up on what was our big yard that we used to bring the cattle in initially. The dairy where he's making the cheese. We had seven cows either side. Anyway, they put a false floor over it and turned all that into the refrigeration area. That's where we used to milk up to 130 cows there, twice a day.
Fay: 160 I think was our top we ever got to.
How many people did you have working? Did you have people working with you when you were milking 160?
Fay: Yes, but we only used to have one person working for us. There's about 14 machines.
Roly: There was only work there for two people in the milking.
Fay: One could work the machines on their own if they needed to. It took a bit of keeping up with, but with 14 machines, you know, two was better.

Tala pack;
together with Tala
Chitto is one of our easygoing wolves. He doesn't take life too seriously and usually gets what he wants by being obnoxiously "nice" to the higher ranking pack members.
He's a real sweetheart, winning everyone over with his very gentle character. If there's tension in his relationships, he'll try to fix the situation with play.
Chitto is our tallest—but not our heaviest—wolf. He has a light brown coat and relatively thick legs and big feet. He's easy to recognize by his most striking feature: his gorgeous blue eyes.
Despite his position as #4 in Kaspar`s pack, Chitto had an easy life. Both Kaspar and Aragorn have been quite relaxed around him, and he often managed to con them out of something he wanted by being annoying and submissive. This strategy worked well for him, and the two higher-ups almost always gave in. But every now and then he challenged them, and they have been forced to take him seriously and put him in his place.
Since 2016 he is the alpha male and now he has to cope with the puppies who are acting in the same way he did, when he was young. And how life goes, it is not easy if you are confronted with your own personality. Especially not, if there are even two of the same kind and on top they party harder than your ever did.
When it comes to testing and working with us and working with the staff, Chitto can "overthink" things. Unlike the black wolves who are diligent, routine workers, Chitto doesn't know from one day to next whether he wants to oblige his human comrades, especially when he's expected to shift between enclosures. Some days he wants to work and other days he doesn't. But when he does, he's great.
He's a fast learner and a good problem solver. On the running belt he can be very finicky and picks up on increases in speed immediately. Because of this, we have to progress with his training in very small steps. Nevertheless, we've managed to get him used to getting on the treadmill from the side, and he's almost at full trotting speed. Next he'll be working on duration and fitness.
Come to find out, our wolves aren't exactly fit. But that's hard to see when you watch Chitto on the treadmill. He acts like a model on a runway—crossing one forepaw in front of the other—showing off his nice, long legs.
He has always been a cool and gentle guy around strangers. When he approaches new people, he sniffs and checks them out very carefully. During our pack visits, he likes being scratched, and he's a relaxed walker when it´s his turn for our visitor program "Walking with a wolf."
He is equally good with our vet, who comes out once a week to train with our animals. Chitto happily allows her to do the routine check. Luckily he's a very healthy guy and rarely needs anything apart from the usual treatments.
Chitto is a very curious little braggart, hiding behind his Rambo-like facade a tender character.
His sapphireblue eyes are really striking. Whereas all the other puppies have change their eye-colour since long from blue to yellow, his eyes only sometimes in the daytime change into a pale yellow and are blue again next morning.
Chitto has a rather calm personality, but wants to have ereything around him under control. Therefore he often lies on his side intensly watching, what happens in the puppy enclosure. he also loves scuffling and playing with the others.
During his early puppy time he favoured Una as partner in his games, whereas he liked to tease little Wamblee from time to time. We also had the impression of Chitto wanting to supersede the leader Amarok. When Kay and Wamblee were eating, he had no over the situation. If he tried to come to the feed, both vehemently defended it and he had to wait until they had stuffed themselves.
Well-known persons get an intent and boisterous welcome by Chitto. That means for all: Take care of your noses! Against strangers initally he acts reserved but easliy cooperates as soon as feed is involved. Thus we could take impressive pictures of him and his nes VIP-sponsor.
At his first walks at the leash Chitto was very scared. His sister Tala Eristoff, however, kept totally cool, even when a donkey started his hee-haw!

Councilmember Huizar's Bringing Back Broadway joins in celebrating Acne's Broadway Opening
(LOS ANGELES) - Dec. 17, 2013 - The largest store to date, situated in an iconic Art Deco building in the bursting Downtown area and containing a café and a giant mushroom, marks the landing of Acne Studios in Los Angeles.
The turquoise and golden clad Eastern Columbia Building was designed by Claud Beelman in 1930 and is located on South Broadway in the old theatre district of Downtown Los Angeles. It is widely considered the greatest surviving example of Art Deco architecture in the city.
The Acne Studios corner location occupies over 5,000 square feet on the ground level and will carry men's and women's ready-to-wear and denim as well as bags, accessories and footwear. The store also includes ilcaffè – Acne Studios Creative Director Jonny Johansson's favorite coffee shop in his hometown of Stockholm.
"It wasn't our original intention to open in this part of Los Angeles, but we fell in love with the Eastern Columbia Building as well as the opportunity to do something beyond a flagship store. We feel that there is something vibrant and interesting going on in Downtown L.A., and we are excited to become a part of this transformation", says Mikael Schiller, Acne Studios Chairman.
The Eastern Columbia Building store is the latest example of the new Acne Studios store design concept, with its pink terrazzo flooring and contrasting clear blue carpets, perforated aluminum structures and Acne Studios designed furniture. The store also features "Giant triple mushroom" – an installation by Belgian artist Carsten Höller who resides in Sweden and is a friend of the brand – and a dedicated area for private shopping appointments.
Councilmember Huizar's Bringing Back Broadway, a 10-year initiative, is a multi-approach plan to restore and revitalize Broadway, the Historic Core and all of Downtown, as well as return the beloved streetcar Downtown. The resurgent Broadway, once the City's retail and entertainment epicenter, is actively being revitalized through public and private investment. Councilmember Huizar announced last week a new Historic Commercial Reuse plan that will allow more historic buildings on Broadway to be revitalized.
"The momentum on Broadway is clear," said Councilmember José Huizar. "The foundation we have laid for Broadway's revitalization has garnered the attention of prime businesses, like Acne, and others before them. We are helping restore Broadway's luster. I look forward to the success of Acne and welcome them to historic Broadway."

Neil Oliver
BBC One, Scotland, Sunday 8 November, 9.00pm
A History of Scotland returns to television screens in early November, taking the story up from the 1600s to the present day. The award-winning BBC Scotland programme, which is co-produced with The Open University, is the flagship television series of the broadcaster's Scotland's History project, which also includes radio, online and events.
On the next five parts of the television series, presenter Neil Oliver says: "We are looking at a period of 400 years within which Scotland is a country punching above its weight – internationally dynamic in terms of industry, ideas and sheer get up and go, but that as we'll see was part of the problem.
"The country was transformed from a poor northern backwater with a serious image problem into one of the richest nations on Earth. Atlantic trade kick-started a profound economic transformation and provided the foundations for huge social change and rapid industrialisation with Scotland contributing new ideas and modern thinking through the Enlightenment, and then latterly becomes a major industrial player.
"Scotland burst into this modern world with a bang, but on the home front there was a cost...
"Scotland makes its mark on the world but she does it by exporting her most valuable commodities - her people and ideas."
Ian Donnachie, Professor in History at The Open University and academic advisor for the series, says: "As the series moves on in time it highlights major themes in the history of Scotland to our own times. Many important and controversial issues that are addressed and debated in the programmes help to explain how Scotland came to be the country it is today.
"No doubt the series will continue to provoke lively debate over major strands and personalities explored through Neil Oliver's lively presentation."
Editor's Notes:
The OU and the BBC have been in partnership for forty years, providing educational programming to a mass audience. In recent times this partnership has evolved from late night programming for delivering courses to peak-time programmes with a broad appeal, to encourage wider participation in learning.
The Open University has produced a series of 10 free postcards, to accompany the season, which depict key scenes from Scottish history. They can be obtained by calling 0845 300 8850 or from www.open2.net
The first five parts of the series A History of Scotland were broadcast late last year. More details are available on bbc.co.uk/scotlandshistory.
This Open University debate is part of the Edinburgh lectures series which runs from 1 October 2009 to 23 February 2010. For details of the event, please see the link right.

News Release< Back to List
Brands missing a trick as UK consumers unaware of tailored experiences
Cambridge – A new survey conducted by Radius Global Market Research (Radius GMR) has found that despite the large number of options available to them, nearly half of UK consumers (45%) are unaware of customisation choices available to them. Additionally, even when consumers are aware, brands are only getting their customisation efforts right less than 30% of the time, on average.
The Radius GMR survey also highlighted that there are the biggest opportunities for those working within the technology, entertainment and beauty industries; however other sectors that may likewise benefit include FMCG and financial services.
Key findings of the survey, which provides insight into how consumers currently view and value customisation, include:
UK consumer awareness lags behind US counterparts
Whilst US consumers enjoy relatively high levels of awareness of customisation options open to them (peaking at almost 75% awareness in under 35s), consumers in the UK remain uninformed of the choices open to them (falling to 50% awareness amongst those who earn less than £40K per annum).
Consumers are loyal to Loyalty Programmes
Customisation has a number of advantages from a business point of view as it can command higher prices, free publicity and greater brand allegiance. Marketers looking to customise the brand experience for consumers should look to loyalty programmes as a place to start. Loyalty programmes topped all other customisation methods, in every category, based on a combined measure of consumer interest (67% on average) and utilisation (58% on average).
Whilst customisation can retain customers, they don't want too many options
Customisation should not equal proliferation – 40% of consumers already feel that there are already too many options open to them. With only 30% of brands 'getting it right' from a consumer's point of view, marketers should ensure that they are offering the right kind of customisation for their brand and communicate the value of it effectively.
Where there is awareness, consumers understand the benefits of customisation
Consumers who are aware of customisation have a clear understanding of its potential benefits. Top of their list is being able to stay in the know about new products and services (48%). They also appreciate the convenience such as less time spent shopping and making fewer trips to the shops (40%). Customisation is also seen as a way to reduce waste by receiving less of what they do not want or won't use (31%).
"Radius GMR's survey shows that consumers are potentially very receptive to efforts to customise the brand experience," says Jeanette Vivier, Director, Radius Europe.
"But if marketers don't do the homework involved to provide and communicate highly relevant benefits to their specific audiences, they are unlikely to capitalise on the opportunity."
The study also found that that where awareness was present, men and women view the value and relevance of customisation differently. Women see the most value when it comes to skin and hair care (51%); fashion and apparel (43%); and health and wellness (42%). Men on the other hand want customised offerings in technology (40%); television/movie entertainment (40%); and banking services (36%).
Radius GMR surveyed consumers in the USA and UK and covered a broad array of industries. Results also reflect expert interviews and extensive secondary research.

The Project : In May 2014 we began our Breaking Exclusion work: Well –Being and Resilience days with a grant from Awards for All and Sherburn House and have since had financial support from the RSCJ Sisters, Seedbed and URC . The aim of the days was to give up to 25 people in recovery from addiction and those who care for those in recovery or still struggling with addiction a real break from the harshness of their lives and to offer on –going tools and practices to help them day by day. We are working with a holistic model to engender well –being in body, mind and spirit that does not medicalise people and goes beyond talking therapy to enable and empower day by day. The need is great and will remain long into the future.
The way the days work : Each person is offered a complementary therapy from our team of three masseurs, we do some simple Tai Chi, various meditation , walking the Labyrinth, art and other creative work. All in the context of the beautiful buildings and gardens of the Priory. We provide a delicious lunch and refreshment throughout the day. There is lots of time in the day to talk and support one another and this is very important for both users groups. Those who lead the days feel it is a great place of encounter and we are often deeply moved by the response
Breaking Exclusion: the Well- Being and Resilience Project for those in recovery from Addiction and their Carers
Paul Golightly writes, 'When I attended a meeting of local retreat house wardens a few years ago we were asked by a speaker is it only middle-class, middle-aged woman who need retreat houses as that is the main client group? This was challenging to me and when we became involved with those in recovery from addiction it felt like a nudge and gift from God. To offer the space to a new group of people.'
The feedback: and well-being indicators speak of the great value of the days to on –going recovery and ability to carry on caring and all the agencies are keen to return with their service users we have over 500 at the days so far and other work is beginning . Agencies have taken the DVD we provide and are using it in their centres in their weekly groups .
Agencies involved in recovery work and carer's organisations bring service users with them on these days, they are very keen to come and make return visits. Carers may self -refer to attend the days.

Education. When providing your education on your resume, list degrees in reverse order. For example, if you have a master's degree, it should be listed before your bachelor's degree. Again, if a hiring manager or recruiter is skimming your resume, you want them to see your highest degree first. It is very important to include dates in this section. Furthermore, if you have a bachelor's degree, it is not necessary to include your high school education on your resume. It is assumed that you graduated high school if you've obtained a higher degree. So leave out this information.
In many cases, your resume is the first document a hiring manager will look at when reviewing your application, and therefore is a true "first impression." Accordingly, it's important to put time and effort into developing and maintaining an updated, accurate resume.

Among the leisure and relaxation activities offered by the Marbella Club Hotel wellness programmes, the Spa is among the most successful and revered by our customers. Our Thalasso Spa is, without doubt, a place for you to lose yourself in. Here, you can't miss the chance to try our dynamic Thalasso pool.
Open since 2000, the Thalasso pool is approximately 100 m2 (1000 sq. ft.) with a perimeter of 45 metres (148 ft.). It goes no deeper than 110 cm (3.6 ft.), and the temperature of the water is maintained slightly below body temperature, which makes it very pleasant to relax in, even for long periods of time. The swimming pool is equipped with underwater jets and high pressure swan neck showers, offering a spectacular hydro massage for different parts of your body: legs, lumbar area, the back and neck, among others. Once you finish in the baths, you can prolong this marvellous sensation by relaxing on a jacuzzi bed inside the pool.
The benefits of thalassotherapy are based on the basic principle of osmosis which states that being submerged in warm sea water for approximately 10 minutes, a very healthy exchange takes place through our skin, which is hugely beneficial for our body. It eliminates "waste" and absorbs "nutrients" which we need. It is based on the exchange of ions and micronutrients because sea water is the closest thing to the blood plasma (holding the red blood cells).
Thalassotherapy is based on the principle of mineralisation which, among its many benefits, tends to lower blood pressure, leads to better sleep, balances the level of magnesium in the body, fights depression, helps to combat excessive weight gain and obesity, regulates circulation problems, aids recovery after surgery and improves breathing problems. Furthermore, the anti-stress effects of thalassotherapy are well-known.
The water in the Thalasso pool at Marbella Club Hotel is not treated with chlorine, rather with bromine, which is less aggressive to the skin, and its filters are purely organic.
Marbella Club hope you will be tempted to visit our Spa and enjoy the multiple benefits of our Thalasso pool. We guarantee you will start to feel the benefit from the moment you enter.

The U.S. government is boosting its investment in embattled insurer American International Group Inc., providing the firm with an additional $30 billion in capital but also exposing U.S. taxpayers to additional risk.
The Treasury Department and Federal Reserve announced the third version of the government's bailout of the firm in a joint statement made in conjunction with the firm's announcement of a fourth-quarter loss of $61.7 billion. In addition to providing up to $30 billion in additional capital to AIG in return for preferred stock, the Treasury Department said it would convert its existing $40 billion of preferred shares into new preferred shares that more closely resemble common stock.
Those steps will be coupled with changes to the Fed's existing $60 billion resolving credit facility for AIG. The Fed and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plan to take up to a $26 billion preferred interest in two AIG life insurance subsidiaries—American Life Insurance Co. and American International Assurance Co.—as well as make $8.5 billion in new loans to benefit the domestic life insurance subsidiaries of AIG. In addition, the interest rate on the existing credit facility will be modified to reduce the existing floor.
AIG on Wednesday will issue new convertible preferred shares worth a 77.9% stake in the company as part of the overhaul of their government rescue. The company will also now have to comply with much more stringent executive compensation rules put in place by Congress as part of the recently passed economic stimulus legislation.
The Fed and Treasury said the steps are meant to provide "tangible evidence" of the government's commitment to an orderly restructuring of AIG, and that the cost of not helping the company was judged to be too high.
"Given the systemic risk AIG continues to pose and the fragility of markets today, the potential cost to the economy and the taxpayer of government inaction would be extremely high," the Treasury and Fed said in a joint statement.
They noted that AIG, through the various financial contracts it has backed, is a "significant counterparty to a number of major financial institutions." That fact has all but required the government to backstop the firm, as a collapse of AIG would ripple through the market and affect the other major financial firms the government has poured hundreds of billions of dollar into in recent months.
"The company continues to face significant challenges, driven by the rapid deterioration in certain financial markets in the last two months of the year and continued turbulence in the markets generally," the Treasury and Fed said.
Rating agencies reacted to the government's announcement by confirming a number of AIG's current ratings, an important step that will prevent the company from incurring additional losses because of a downgrade. Fitch Ratings confirmed its ratings on AIG's senior unsecured securities and certain insurer financial strength ratings, while Moody's Investors Service confirmed AIG's senior debt rating, giving the company a negative outlook but also confirming many of its insurer financial strength ratings.
The moves by the U.S. government are aimed at keeping AIG healthy enough so the firm can complete a restructuring and start to repay taxpayers for the assistance the firm has received. AIG's funding is already well above the $50 billion that Citigroup Inc. has received through three Treasury programs, as well as the $45 billion that Bank of America Corp. has taken. In both cases with the banks, however, the government has left the door open for providing additional funds and has provided guarantees on hundreds of bi llions of assets that could lead to huge losses down the road.
AIG Chairman and CEO Edward Liddy said in a release of the company's fourth-quarter results that the success of AIG's restructuring plan "centers on ensuring that the unique businesses that make up AIG can thrive on their own. He also cited the importance of "repaying our obligation to the U.S. government."
Meanwhile, AIG posted a net loss of $61.7 billion, or $22.95 a share, compared with a year-earlier net loss of $5.3 billion, or $2.08 a share. The latest results included the restructuring charges and writedowns.
The loss is the biggest quarterly loss in history, breaking the record set by Time Warner in 2002 amid its acquisition of America Online.
AIG's shares were recently up 9.5% at 46 cents in premarket trading. The stock is off 73% so far this year and 99% in the last 12 months.
The company said it will form a general-insurance holding company including its commercial insurance group, foreign general unit and other property/casualty operations, to be called AIU Holdings Inc. AIU will have its own board and management and its creation will help AIG prepare to possibly sell a minority stake in the business.
AIG also said it is considering combining its domestic life and retirement businesses as it looks to boost competitiveness. The combined units would have assets of $246.8 billion.
Liddy said the company has made "meaningful progress" in addressing its liquidity issues, but it is taking more steps to preserve the value of its business amid the economic and capital-market turmoil.
