The weirdest day of the week, if you ask me. It's the day that sort of subconsciously prohibits anything strenuous, or that requires too much effort. And yet, it's also the day of the week where you have the most to get done. So it's kind of a catch 22?!
I refuse (point blank) to do anything that isn't fun or something that I want to do on a Saturday. It's the one day of the week for fun, no work, and nothing boring/hard/painful or plain disinteresting. Sunday on the other hand is when the house needs cleaning, the school uniform needs washing and ironing, homework and reading needs to be done, the mass of letters in my sons book bag all need signing, to the point where I have no idea what I'm signing for anymore! Then there's cooking dinner, preparing a weeks worth of work outfits, replacing the toilet rolls in the bathrooms etc...it's supposed to be the most chilled day of the week - to recover from working (and the usual night before shenanigans) and yet, my list of things to do on Sunday's gets longer every week. And I say that with a true grimace. A totally unattractive one.
So in the spirit of cheering myself up, and getting back to my love of Sunday mood, I've been thinking about what makes the best lazy Sunday...
1. Series Binge.
I am a binger. I always have and always will, binge. What can I say, it's a habit... I'm talking about TV shows. Sunday is the perfect day for binging on Netflix, Sky etc. You wake up groggy and suddenly the thought of watching an entire series in a day wakes you up enough to pull out the laptop, get comfy and prepare to switch your brain off to everything (and anything) else for the entire day. On my radar at the minute is a huge list to be binged upon. I'm the most un-girlie girl when it comes to TV shows. I love the bloke-y ones. Don't shoot me, I'm not perfect. So I'm indulging in Sons of Anarchy at the moment (series three already woohoo!). But my previous binge was The Walking Dead. Before that it was Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and next on the list is Nashville. So, yeh, my taste in TV could only be described as 'confused'.
2. Your Favourite Food.
When indulging in the TV binge, it must be accompanied by yummies. Who cares about the calorie intake (it's Sunday doll!) - or the price - whatever you love, should be your companion for the day. I start with Nutella..and anything. Fruit, toast, porridge...whatever. As long as it's got Nutella with it, I'm happy. Then I tend to neglect lunch as I snack through the day on things like Crispy M&M's (my current favourite addiction), jam bakes (an old fashioned cake which I could eat in copious amounts) and of course, ice-cream and strawberries. And, who am I kidding? Lots of Diet Coke (seeing as I'm a fully fledged addict). Finish the day with a take-away, and your tummy will never love you more (although your hips may hate you...pah.)
3. Comfy Clothes.
Now, if you can manage to get dressed - good on you. That's often further than I get on a Sunday. However, it's absolutely acceptable, to wake up remove pj's- shower/bath and then change into fresh pj's. It's Sunday remember - it's absolutely acceptable. Hell, it's practically an unwritten law. Leggings, comfy joggers, pj bottoms and a cosy top/jumper/hoodie and I'm in my happy place. No reason to leave the house, means no reason to wear actual clothes. This goes for the kids too.
4. Duvet Day.
If you're child-free then stay in bed. All day. I would too. There is nothing wrong with binging on a TV show, eating ice-cream, in your pj's in bed on a Sunday. It's how it should be. Some may call you a slob, most will call you a genius. If you do have children, take the duvet to the sofa, get a mass of cushions, create the cosiest and most comfy looking sofa fort, and don't move from it. The kids will love it too. First choice is always the bed though, because really, where else is better than bed on a Sunday?
5. Snapchat.
You may be living under the radar in your pj's and in bed at 3pm, but keep in touch with the outside world - Snapchat lets you see your friends doing the same thing. Or, the friends doing something healthy and outdoors-y, like bike riding, running a marathon etc. The joy of Snapchat is you only have to be exposed to it for a few seconds - which is great because when you're lazing about, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
6. Colouring.
Yes, I'm addicted to colouring. This whole adult colouring book trend has made me a very happy bunny indeed. I have several colouring books, felt tips (the adult kind) and pencil crayons and I love nothing more than loosing a few hours doodling. Be warned, if you've got kids they will want to join in - so get them their own, you can't be having five year old scribble/art mess with your perfectly shaded floral masterpiece....even if their colouring is as brilliant and artistic as my son's.
There are loads of other things that you can throw into the mix for the perfect lazy Sunday, but these are the basics. Pamper time is always good, but if you're a parent that's out of the question unless you want your child covered in more face-mask than you. However you do it, squeeze in the essentials (washing, ironing, homework) and then spend the rest of the day following these steps. You can rest assured you've done everything that's needed for the week ahead, and yet you've still managed to indulge your inner Lazy Sunday Love.

Walking is one of the best exercises you can practice. It's free, simple, requires no special technique depends only on ourselves. But for the walks are higher yielding , ie, to help us lose weight and strengthen your muscles in less time, we must consider some tips .
Is that walking is not out to move the legs: should we do to work around the body. If you want to maximize your walks, here are some indications that we will serve you the next time. Make your walks more yielding!
- Move your arms. Walking correctly is not only to move the legs, is to move throughout the body. To go much faster and thus burn more calories, help yourself from the movement of your arms bent.
- Walk a short step. Unlike popular belief, a good walk is not performed in stride but a short step. It is much better for speed. Walk 100 steps, pause and then resumes. Repeat this slogan 12 times.
- Make a Nordic walking. What is that? It is walking normally, but availing ourselves of the help of two poles or rods which support our arms. This type of walking, which often make skiers, burns calories because it trains the lower and upper body at the same time.
- Stand up straight. When we walk upright, buttocks and back muscles work harder. Walk with your back straight keeping your shoulders aligned over your hips.
- Set goals. Exit to walk should not be just that: go out and walk . Try to plan your route, making goals. For example, plans to walk without stopping to a certain point in the city and then rests. For the following days, set a goal to advance further.
- Avoid very steep hills. Walking uphill is good for strengthening your muscles and burn more calories, but do not exaggerate. Avoid rises very high because it is not good to turn down the speed of walking. In addition, you get tired quickly!
- Choose the right shoes. To make your walk more effective, do not go with the first shoes you find. Get some good walking shoes .
- Use a heart rate monitor. Control your heart beats. This is ideal for our bodies know when we ask for a pause or still ready to continue.
Now, with this information, your walks will be most effective.

Children's Church is an exciting ministry opportunity for children ages K - 4th grade. During the 10:45 service, children have an opportunity to learn God's truths during a ministry time designed just for them. Children are encouraged to worship together in the church service, but are dismissed just before the message which is generally 30-35 minutes.
Children experience a wide range of activities including Bible study, crafts, songs, snacks and game-like activities-- all designed to underscore a Bible truth being taught.

Iredale Architecture has been a leader in sustainable design since the 1980s, when we pioneered the Heritage Conservation movement in BC. We were early developers of the first Ministry of Energy Mines and Resources standards in the 1990s and contributed to the development of LEED standards in the early 2000s.
Since then, we have contributed numerous articles and studies to the emerging science of sustainable building design. Richard Iredale sat on the Board of the Canada Green Building Council from 2006 to 2009 and led the Council's efforts to establish a carbon offset incentive strategy for buildings. From 2010 to 2015, he was also a Board Member and Chair of the Cascadia Green Building Council (Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington). He currently serves on the Board of the Cascadia Collaborative and frequently presents at conferences.
Our upcoming book "Rewilding: Helping Nature Heal the Climate" presents a cost-effective method for designing carbon-balanced buildings and sites. This new approach uses passivhaus techniques combined with intensive landscape restoration to produce a practical and inexpensive way for developers to balance the carbon and water cycles on their projects.
Iredale Architecture has designed many ultra-green projects, including the new Exchange Tower in Vancouver, and the net-zero Bateman Center in Victoria.
The Exchange – When completed, this office tower will be the second-largest building in Canada to achieve the highest LEED standard (platinum).
North Saanich Middle School – constructed to obtain LEED Gold certification
Salt Spring Island Public Library– designed to achieve LEED Gold standards
Meadowridge Private School, Early Childhood Education Centre – designed to achieve LEED Gold certification
Royal Oak Middle School – LEED Silver standards
Kelset Elementary School – LEED Silver standards
As environmentally conscious designers, we seek to combine building envelope, mechanical, electrical, landscape and structural systems to produce sustainable buildings.
On larger projects involving several engineering disciplines, we seek to involve the entire team in this process. Like many practices, we use a "charette" format to bring the team together to develop and integrate smart solutions. We help the owner lead and direct this process.
Every project is different. Yet they all share a common goal: to find the most cost effective way to reduce energy and material use and to enhance and restore nature. As a rule, one starts by brainstorming green design opportunities. One then costs these opportunities and develops a short-list of the "best" ways to achieve sustainability.
At Iredale, we emphasize the site. Generally, money spent on landscaping is a low-cost and very effective way to balance nature's carbon and water cycles. Using "free" measures such as tree growth and topsoil build-up, even low-budget projects can achieve a sustainable footprint.

Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to Willowfield! We are a happy, successful, oversubscribed and expanding 11 to 16 Community School in Walthamstow.
These are exciting times at Willowfield! We moved into our fantastic new buildings in September 2015 and the enhanced facilities are bringing to life even greater opportunities for our students. OFSTED visited us as in June 2016 and were very impressed with what they saw, commenting upon how we have improved since our last inspection.
We are proud to be a local community school that gives all of our students the best possible start in life. Our school community is amazingly diverse with more than 50 languages spoken. We are very proud of our inclusive ethos characterised by a striking culture of mutual respect and support. Willowfield students are happy effective learners who make great progress. Our ethos and values are centred on developing our young people as great citizens and this infuses the entire curriculum and learning experience. We have strong partnerships with local schools and colleges and are involved in many community projects.
Students at Willowfield enjoy a broad and balanced learning experience.
At key Stage 3 the curriculum is planned to be inclusive but also to stretch and challenge all students to be the best they can be, preparing them for the challenges ahead in years 10 and 11. At Key Stage 4, students can choose from a range of options allowing them to opt for subjects related to their areas of interest or possible future career pathways. Enabling our students to achieve the best examination results they will need is key to our work but not the only purpose of the curriculum and wider school experience. We are also committed to developing them into thoughtful citizens able to play a full, positive and productive part in the 21st century world they will be living and working in. Our Humanities specialism is key to developing this citizenship and its ethos and values infuse the whole learning experience from year 7 through to year 11.
We are proud of our inclusive ethos. Students from all backgrounds and abilities are welcomed and flourish within a safe and caring environment. Our caring and effective pastoral system is the glue that keeps our school happy and successful. Form groups have two tutors to maximise personal attention and are overseen by experienced pastoral leaders. Students make great progress during their time with us because they are supported but also challenged to produce their best. We have the highest expectations of all students and will not allow them to settle for ordinary.
Life at Willowfield is characterised by mutual respect and an environment where staff and students enjoy happy, harmonious and very positive relationships. This atmosphere of mutual respect is key to our success and stems from the great support and care every student receives making them feel valued and cared for. We expect the very best in terms of courtesy and respect from our students and they rise to meet our high expectations.
We have a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities available to all students, something that we have been able to extend and develop since we moved to the new site. The list of possible activities includes sport, music, drama, art and extra help with learning. Opportunities to engage in activities related to citizenship are many and varied, while our Artsmark Award reflects the range and quality of the opportunities offered here. Students enjoy a range of activities including visits to theatres, galleries, museums and residential trips. There are many opportunities to take on responsibilities such as peer mentors, sports captains, prefects, citizenship ambassadors, school journalists, librarians or bank managers. We have a very active Student Leadership Council who play a real role in helping shape the direction of the school – not least they played an important role in the appointment process for the new Headteacher!
We believe the partnership with parents is key to the happiness and success of our students. We celebrate success with our parents and ensure that parents are informed of their child's progress through termly reports and a parents evening. Sometimes students need some support to make good decisions and we are committed to working with parents and letting them know at the earliest possible time so that we can work together to help the child learn and move on from their mistakes.
Our vision is for Willowfield students to leave us and be able to compete with anyone, anywhere, professionally and personally, in the world that is their future. We want them to be well rounded young adults who have developed into great citizens able to play a full, positive and productive part in their 21st century world. Our year 11 students progress on successfully to college, work and University and we are always proud to hear from them and their successes after Willowfield.

"For though the poet's matter nature be,
His art doth give the fashion…
For a good poet's made, as well as born".1
In literary studies, we often critique an author's writing – its stylistic traits, its influences, and its natural universality. When these qualities intertwine intricately, we tend to note it as exceptional. Why? Because it encapsulates the writer's talent in writing nature and feelings with craft.
William Shakespeare has been noted as such a talent, at the expense of his contemporaries and rivals like Ben Jonson. Since Samuel Johnson's Preface to Shakespeare (1765), Shakespeare has been known as "the poet of nature", whose writing held "up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life"2. Whereas, Jonson depended on his skill to succeed as a "lyric poet of genius" or the poet of art. He relied on his classical education to make grammatical choices or to imitate (classical) influences3. Based on this we tend to esteem the poet of nature over the poet of art.
But, what if Jonson's comments on Shakespeare's craft in his elegy "To the Memory of My Beloved, The Author, Master William Shakespeare, and What he Hath Left Us" (that Shakespeare was a poet of both nature and art) offer more to our understanding of Shakespeare's writing? What if Jonson and Shakespeare both crafted work similarly, with conscientious practices – including the incorporation of stylistic traits, like rhetorical figures? Could we still argue that it was Shakespeare's standout talent that has acclaimed him as the poet of nature? And argue that Jonson was the poet of art based on his self-consciousness over linguistic usage? Perhaps there are significant stylistic choices that offer how Shakespeare's and Jonson's works are comparatively equal in skill and talent.
I propose that digital humanities can address, if not answer, these questions. This is because digital humanities allows for a computational investigation and analysis of works through a collaboration of expert "communities" (allowing for contribution and absorption of any new "knowledge and meaning-making")4. I argue that these questions require more than a close reading of the texts. They require collaboration and unlimited initial biases over what is canonical. And an "analysis, synthesis and presentation of information in electronic form" of these playwrights simplifies the process of comparison and allows for augmented criticism5. If we can determine similarities in form and structure, content and creativity, etc., arguably then we can understand what makes Shakespeare comparatively (numerically) equal in craft to Jonson. With our interests in rhetorical figures, the ACL offers a good beginning to analysing craft. Surely art for these playwrights included the use of rhetorical figures – bringing them into use in English. We can create outputs to determine the creative use of rhetorical figures, which Shakespeare and Jonson would have used in their texts.
To create these outputs, we need to focus on comparable qualities of Shakespeare's and Jonson's work. Firstly, there are hundreds of rhetorical figures and searching for them all at once is overwhelming. So, our analysis will begin with the comparison of the numerical frequency of gradatio between authors. Gradatio is a figure that requires a redoubling of a repetitive structure, which makes it a beautiful and more complex figure that requires fluidity and attention (example). The author who deploys such a figure of repetition is exercising a great deal of craft. The frequency of such a figure (and the many more to try) gives one avenue to compare skillful playwrights. Secondly, we will have to focus on a set of comparable works. Our analysis of this figure usage will begin with the entirety of the two corpuses of drama by Jonson and Shakespeare. Yes, every play and every masque. Drama simplifies an arena for computational comparison for the playwrights. Shakespeare and Jonson are known for their plays and their imprint on English literature. Thus, approaching drama first leans to the above questions before poetry.
In comparing Shakespeare and Jonson (and eventually other contemporaries, figures, and genres) there should be interesting results, that can lead to comparable rhetorical practices, craftsmanship, or clear differences by a well-born poet. Now, we just need to start creating outputs to process artful-language.

Baby eczema can be a frustrating skin condition, while it is manageable it often makes for a grouchy baby. 65% of children will grow out of eczema by the time they're seven, but in the meantime, you'll need to learn the best ways to treat your little one.
How to deal with baby eczema
Put simply, eczema is a condition where your baby's skin lacks the right fats and oils to produce a protective barrier, allowing allergens to penetrate the surface of the skin and dry it out. Whilst eczema can be difficult to deal with, there are some things you can do to help:
- Avoid bathing your baby too often - this can strip your baby's skin of protective oils and dry it out further. Also be careful when towel-drying the skin as this can dry the skin out further. Pat your baby's skin dry rather than rubbing it.
- Use a bath oil to keep your baby's skin moisturised, and make sure the water is luke-warm rather than hot.
- Use an eczema cream to keep the skin moisturised and hydrated.
- Avoid wool or synthetic clothing if these irritate your baby's skin. Cotton is always a good choice as it allows the skin to breathe.
- Keep your baby's nails short so they do less damage if they do scratch at their skin.
The best eczema creams for your baby
Finding a great eczema cream can keep your baby's skin hydrated and hopefully stop them from scratching. While prescription products are often a necessity, there are also plenty of over-the-counter lotions you can try. We've spent hours doing our research so you don't have to, and have come up with this list of the best eczema creams for your baby.

Cindy-Lee and Lionel made such a cute couple and I had such a fun time capturing these images of them. We met a little before sunset in the green belt in Constantia and followed the path way up toward the mountain.

Henry JenkinsEdit
Jenkins has a BA from Georgia State University, Political Science/Journalism, an MA in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa and a PhD in Communications from University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Communications, Ph.D. 1989. His doctoral thesis was "What Made Pistachio Nuts?: Anarchistic Comedy and the Vaudeville Aesthetic", with advisors David Bordwell and John Fiske.
Most notably, Jenkins was the founder and director of MIT's Comparative Media Studies Program. He has proven a prolific author, issuing several canonical texts on fandom, technology and popular culture, including Textual Poachers, From Barbie to Mortal Kombat, and Convergence Culture. Jenkins is a sure-fire media populist, largely abstaining from the heavy post-structuralist theoretical and philosophical bent of much media and critical theory, and instead emphasizing the role of public policy and media literacy. He cooperates on projects and conferences with academics, media producers, policy makers and media distributors. Jenkins has operated a long-time blog at www.henryjenkins.org, and has testified at the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee hearing into Marketing Violence for Youth, following the Columbine shooting.
Jenkins is sometimes identified with "what's wrong" with cultural studies, as the American incarnation of the discipline has become increasingly collapsed with pop culture-philia. Indeed, Jenkins work on fandom has given a stable platform to bevies of close readings of popular culture phenomenon, some of which tragically misconstrues it relevance to the intellectual field. Jenkins' assertions that we should study what we love and study what matters to us sometimes overlaps with an enthusiasm to "study whatever we want", it's academic merit supported by the sole fact that one has taken an interest.
Regardless of these complaints, Jenkins remains a prominent and potent figure in the constellation of contemporary American popular culture and media studies. He is currently the Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Arts, a joint professorship at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture [1992]Edit
Jenkins' early 1990s work Textual Poachers is an ethnographic study of television fans, offered just before TV fandam became a massively internet-fuelled phenomenon. Indeed, this work should be understood as foremost a social science text (cultural studies in the old, not-yet-heinously poststructuralist tradition). While this work applied to television studies, it is purely reception, not representational nor technological analysis. In his introduction, he treads the same ground as Donna Haraway's work on "Situated Knowledge" (even using the phrase--and this work itself is also tread by Law's Aircraft Stories) as he summarizes the turn away from totalizing accounts of social and cultural practice to "partial, particularized, and contingent accounts of specific encounters within and between cultures" (4). Jenkins' considers his work inspired by this later tradition. Jenkins documents his own fandom, and suggests that by thinking about how viewers relate to textual materials, we can think ourselves out of being purely ideological subjects of media. To identify with the fan, rather than judge or dictate, is a "process which requires greater proximity and the surrender of certain intellectual pretensions and institutional privileges" (6).
Jenkins' interest in fans is in line with his critical interest in reception, and his interests in how viewers make meaning from the technological and entertainment environments they exist in, as well as fandom's relationship to a larger understanding of media audiences. In many ways, this book (along with Constance Penley's work) established "fan studies" as a distinct academic inquiry, and contested the largely hostile understanding of fandom that otherwise existed in social science.
Jenkins is interested in 5 dimensions of this "subculture" (his words):
- relationship to a particular mode of reception
- role in encouraging viewer activism
- its function as an interpretive community
- traditions of cultural production
- status as an alternative social community
This subculture could be defined as one which is "struggling to define its own culture and to construct its own community within the context of what many observers have described as a postmodern era; it documents a group insistant on making meaning from materials others have characterized as trivial and worthless" (3).
His first full chapter covers extensive ground reviewing cultural assumptions about the "fan". His work is intensely indebted to Michel de Certeau's The Practice of Everyday Life.

Jonathan will lead the pre-launch and launch of the new hotel, acquired by established Bath hoteliers Ian & Christa Taylor in March 2016. The Grade I listed Georgian townhouse will open with 31 bedrooms, a cocktail bar, private dining room, a series of sitting rooms and small spa with interiors by Martin Hulbert Design.
Jonathan Walker comes to No. 15 Great Pulteney from his most recent role as Operations Director at The Hotel Collection, following 16 years of experience with InterContinental Hotels Group, culminating in four years as Director of Hotel Performance and Operations Support. A local resident and expert in British hotels, Jonathan brings extensive experience to this new opening.
Jonathan said "I am really thrilled to be leading the opening of No. 15 Great Pulteney. This is really a dream project – as both a member of the local community and a hotelier – with so much potential. I am looking forward to working closely with the team, local residents and the people of Bath to create something really special for the city."
Ian Taylor said "We are really pleased to have Jonathan on board for this exciting opening. His experience in working with well-known British hotels including the Lygon Arms, Cotswolds, combined with twenty years of living locally, will be invaluable. It is incredibly important that we have the very best team possible in place and I have every confidence that Jonathan will lead from the front."
No. 15 Great Pulteney is set to make the most of its historic central location, moments from Bath's best sites yet a wonderfully quiet, exclusive address. The hotel will offer guests all of the understated sophistication of a private townhouse, with the service, charm and elegance of a luxury hotel. This will be a stylish place to stay and a meeting place for local residents; relaxed and comfortable, with a touch of modern glamour.
The acquisition brings the Taylor's portfolio in Bath to three hotels; No. 15 Great Pulteney will join the Abbey Hotel and Villa Magdala, reaffirming the Taylor's ongoing commitment to investing in Bath and its local community.

The Cycling Mekong Delta 3 days tour is customized for those travel to Vietnam from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After crossing the Vietnam-Cambodia border gate, you will begin your cyling tour towards Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon). You will bike through Chau Doc, Long Xuyen, Can Tho. This is an easy bicycle tour since you cycle on flat paved roads and backroads in the Mekong Delta area. Bike through local hamlets, rice fields and experience the rural, aquatic life.
Arrive in Chau Doc in the afternoon, you will be met up with our guide and driver and transferred to hotel. Chau Doc, nestling at the foot of Sam Mountain on the Cambodian border, has a real frontier town feel to it. This busy little riverine town has large Cham, Khmer and ethnic Chinese communities and the distinctive architectural styles of each community can be seen in their places of worship around the town.
The rest day is your leisure.
Overnight in Chau Doc.
Today we will spend the whole day biking the Mekong Delta.
Wake up early to enjoy boating to explore fishing village. Chau Doc is home to the Cham and Khmer cultures, floating farmhouses and the Islamic Chancel Cham minority settlement.
After breakfast, our guide will take you out for a fantastic boat cruise to Cham Village, where around 4000 Muslim people living in the area. Cham village where the people are Muslim and speak Malaysian which is kind of unusual for Vietnam. These people live in houses on the land but because of the flood water in the rainy season, they have to build them on stilts 3 metres high.
After Cham Village we move on to fishing village, where the local residents make a living from farming fish in cages under their houses. These catfish are far too expensive for the locals to eat and so are all exported, mostly to the USA. Even the houses are all floating they are still on the electricity grid as the girl at the front of boat found out.
Enjoy a short hike up to Sam Mountain to take a panoramic view over the Cambodian border. Transfer to Can Tho via Long Xuyen and Thot Not, where we visit Nature Reserve at Thot Not Bird Sanctuary.
Enjoy boating through the park to witness the beauty of flocks of White Stork birds returning to nest at sunset. Your viewing platform provides a wide view of this daily spectacle of nature.
Continue driving to Can Tho, where we spend our night.
Wake up in the early morning to enjoy interesting boating to visit the most vibrant and bustling floating market of Cai Rang, where hundreds of boats of all sizes gather around for trading of their agricultural products. We will see a lively and colorful market on a large bend of the river.
Boat trip back to town for breakfast in the hotel. Our shuttle will bring us our of town and cross Can Tho ferry, we get off at Binh Minh, where we start to cycle on dirt road passing through local villages My Thanh, My Hoa, Tan Phu 2, Hoa Binh, Phu Hoa. Along the way we ride past through orchards and canals of peaceful countryside of Vietnam.
Our cycling finish at Vinh Long then we hop in bus and transfer the rest legs to Saigon. Trip ends.

On a long bus ride in the baseball classic "Bull Durham," Crash Davis tells a bevy of minor-league prospects of how things are different in "The Show."
"The Show," of course, refers to the Big Leagues. No more dragging your own luggage through third-rate hotels in baseball outposts like Round Rock, Texas, and Billings, Mont. No. Someone totes your bags for you in The Show.
"You hit white balls for batting practice. Ballparks are like cathedrals," opined Davis. "The hotels all have room service. And the women all have long legs and brains."
"Really hot, huh?" asks one player.
"Yeah. And so are the pitchers. They throw ungodly breaking stuff in The Show," replies Davis.
The Show is really something to behold.
And it can be unforgiving, too.
The House Administration Committee orchestrates an elaborate orientation for the incoming freshman class after each congressional election. This week, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., armed each Republican freshman with a 125-page bound booklet titled, "Hit the Ground Running."
Welcome to The Show, Washington-style.
The confabs and literature, of course, don't cover everything.
Rep.-elect Cresent Hardy, R-Nev., discovered that Wednesday morning. Hardy flew to Washington for the transition from low-profile state legislator to member of Congress. The Nevada Republican was one of the first freshmen to emerge from the Capitol Hill Hotel behind the Library of Congress early Wednesday – to discover a phalanx of reporters waiting to pepper him with questions.
"I got here last night. Woke up this morning and now I've got cameras in my face," Hardy said of his jarring experience.
"Well, welcome to Washington," a reporter retorted.
Rep.-elect Ryan Costello, R-Pa., had a similar experience before facing the reporter barrage. Costello got up early to play with his 11-month-old son, then hopped Amtrak from Wilmington, Del., to Washington.
"And here I am in front of all of these TV cameras," quipped Costello, a gust of wind tousling his hair.
Costello spent fewer than 90 minutes on the train zipping to D.C. for the orientation. That was not the case for Del.-elect Aumua Amata Radewagen, the Republican non-voting member from American Samoa. Radewagen spent the better part of two days trekking to the Capitol. She flew from Pago Pago to Honolulu. Then skipped to Chicago. She finally landed at Reagan National Airport.
Radewagen's wardrobe reflected the diversity of weather she encountered in her globe-trotting. Radewagen wore sandals, a down, winter vest, and a wrap-around, green floor-length skirt.
Inscribed in big letters at the bottom of the skirt were the Samoan words "Palato Mo Amata." Translation: "Vote for Amata."
Sartorial issues were also a concern for Rep.-elect Mike Bishop, R-Mich. He arrived at the hotel toting several pieces of luggage.
"We're going to be here for eight days. It's not casual like I'd like it to be. It's business attire," Bishop said.
Rep.-elect Bruce Poliquin, R-Maine, faced a similar packing challenge. Brooks Brothers garment bags festooned each piece of luggage he rolled behind him.
"I need to find where the cafeteria and the men's room are," Poliquin said.
Rep.-elect Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich., observed a cultural phenomenon which is different from the Midwest.
"I don't think people cook in Washington because there are a lot of restaurants," Lawrence said.
Unlike Lawrence, one incoming member well-versed in both the folkways of Michigan and the Beltway is Rep.-elect Debbie Dingell, D-Mich. She's the wife of retiring Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the longest-serving lawmaker in congressional history.
"I'm just like any other freshman," the congresswoman-elect insisted.
Except that her husband has served continuously in the House since 1954. Mrs. Dingell suggested her spouse actually put her at a disadvantage.
"I think my husband has been more careful not to tell me anything for fear his head might be cut off," she said. "I would benefit if he would talk to me a little more than he is now."
If Dingell's retiring husband won't chat her up, colleagues from the burgeoning Michigan freshman class will. In addition to Dingell, Bishop and Lawrence – the Wolverine state also dispatched Reps.-elect John Moolenaar, R-Mich., and Dave Trott, R-Mich., to Capitol Hill.
"We've got a great Fab Five from Michigan," said Dingell.
Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., surfaced near the Capitol Hill Hotel by mid-morning. Still in his first term, Hudson went through the orientation drill two years ago.
"I'm here for a do-over," Hudson joked. "See if I can get it right this time."
Rep.-elect Frank Guinta, R-N.H., was in fact on hand for a "do-over." Voters elected Guinta in 2010 and then showed him the door in 2012. Guinta won re-election last week.
"I know what the pitfalls are," Guinta proffered when asked if he had advice for the true freshman. "Enjoy this time. Don't make too many promises."
The rookie lawmakers seemed overwhelmed at the attention. Such was the case with Rep.-elect Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. A job for Zeldin meant jobs for other people, too.
"As soon as the election was over dozens of resumes were flowing in," said Zeldin. "Even as the results were still coming in."
That's how things work in The Show. And just like in The Show, sometimes superstars flame out.
In June, a little-known college professor named Dave Brat upset then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., in the primary. Brat emerged as an undrafted prospect playing the equivalent of political American Legion ball who eluded all the scouts and cross-checkers. Brat blossomed at the right time and made the team.
The House swore-in Brat to fulfill Cantor's unexpired term.
"It's been a very long road. Very few gave me a chance when the journey began," said Brat in his maiden floor speech.
While new lawmakers filed into the hotel, a brief tableau played out directly across the street. Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga., made his way up C St., SE without fanfare. Slung across his back were several suits and shirts, sealed in plastic dry-cleaning bags. The congressman walked up a stoop and disappeared into a townhouse. A makeshift sign hung in the window.
"For Rent," the sign read.
Barrow lost last week to Rep.-elect Rick Allen, R-Ga. Republicans tried to chase Barrow for years. Always a survivor, Barrow fended off repeated GOP challenges.
Until now.
As Crash Davis said in Bull Durham, they throw ungodly breaking stuff in The Show. And sometimes the rookies squeeze out the veterans for a spot on the roster.

AutoCAD unusable after opening
I promise not to say a word. The title says it all. Apparently this issue has been occurring for infinity....oops...for Xfinity....or maybe just 30 years. How about "AutoCAD unusable for construction".
AutoCAD unusable after opening
We have seen a number of issues recently where customers are able to open AutoCAD, but cannot do anything else at all after the program is opened. Everything will appear correct, but the cursor is not viewable and you are not able to click anywhere at all. After some research, we have discovered that most of these are tied into a setting inside Xfinity Constant Guard. If you are having this issue, likely you are using Xfinity Constant Guard and we have found a solution that has fixed this for most users.
1. Open up Xfinity Constant Guard and click on Options.
2. Click on 'Manage my "Blocked Program" rules.'
3. Click "Allow" for all acad.exe and acadlt.exe in the list.
This will hopefully solve the issue for you and make AutoCAD usable again.

- wi-fi access point, for installing unlock and Cydia
Download the utility from the site blackra1n.com (Click on the Windows icon) and save the file to the root of the C drive (Must be in the root, otherwise errors may occur).
Run blackra1n.exe and click on "make it ra1n" (iPhone is connected to the computer).
The process begins
The device goes into Recovery Mode and if all is successful we will see the face of the Geohot. At the end, the device reboots, after a reboot, we get to the already familiar LockScreen and unlocking we see the icon of the program blackra1n.
We launch blackra1n on the iPhone, check the sn0w checkbox and click Install (top right). Then choose what we need, namely Cydia or Rock (choose one thing, it's not recommended to install everything together!) And click on the appeared Install button again
After the process is completed, we have a jailbroken device with Cydia installed (in our example)
For the work of programs such as iFunBox or iPhoneBrowser (These programs are very useful and allow you to browse folders of your system using USB, and not WiFi) after jailbreaking, you need to do the following manipulations (Wi-Fi required):
For the correct operation of applications based on MobileSubstrate (Winterboard, SBSettings, etc.), you need to run Cydia and reinstall MobileSubstrate .

The Thames Valley Police Prospectus, 'Policing the Thames Valley – How we cut crime and protect our community' is now available by following the below links:
Thames Valley Police Prospectus
Thames Valley Police Prospectus (single page print version)
In November there will be a change from the current structure of the Police Authority to a Police and Crime Commissioner who will be directly elected by the public. This is the most ambitious and far-reaching reform of policing in more than half a century.
It is my responsibility to work with the current Police Authority to ensure that we are prepared for that change. An important part of that preparation is to make sure that the public understands how we police our communities.
This document aims to provide an insight into how we police our communities and how we set out to cut crime – from anti-social behaviour to terrorism.
I hope you find this prospectus to be informative and interesting and that it may have also prompted you to want to find out more about policing in the Thames Valley.
Chief Constable Sara Thornton
Thames Valley Police
March has seen an increase in crime around our area. We had reports of sheds broken into in Haddenham where high value cycles were the main target, although tools and garden implements were also taken. The sheds targeted were all around the village and these thefts then extended to other villages including Stone, Bishopstone, and Long Crendon. There has also been burglaries overnight to homes in Long Crendon, Chearsley, Brill (where a vehicle was stolen), Cuddington, and most recently Hartwell and also, an attempt to enter a property in Oakley. On the same evening as the burglary in Chearsley, items were stolen from gardens in the same village and a vehicle broken into, plus a vehicle broken into in Cuddington. In the early hours of 29th March, thieves targeted insecure vehicles in Worminghall and we are aware of at least six vehicles that had property stolen. We have also had reports of thefts of lead, metal and plant from farms and building sites around the area and a quad bike reported stolen from Cuddington and one from Oakley. This level of crime is very unusual and we would like to reassure you that the police have responded accordingly. Special police patrols have been targeting specific areas over 24hr periods and our forensic and intelligence teams have been working to find these thieves, which has resulted in a suspect, who may be responsible for the thefts from vehicles in Worminghall and the burglary in Brill. We will keep you advised of any updates.
We appreciate all the calls that you make, letting us know of any suspicious vehicles or persons seen in the villages, and would ask you to continue being vigilant. Please contact us on the non emergency police number 101.
The parish councils and residents from Long Crendon and Ickford have also brought to our attention an ongoing problem with dog owners not clearing up after their pets.
The footpaths and pavements are used by all residents of the villages and the increase in dog mess is particularly unpleasant . Police can issues a £50 Fixed Penalty Ticket for this offence. If you know of any dog owners who are not being responsible, please let us know.
We are very pleased to have been invited to attend the various fetes and village events over the coming months, and will be looking forward to seeing you there. We have also visited the Haddenham and Long Crendon Beavers this month as well as the Long Crendon Scouts who have been doing their Community Challenge. We appreciate being included in your village events and we are always very happy to come and be involved in your community.

At some point last week, (W/E 17/03/2012) several people reported that garden furniture had been moved to facilitate climbing over into neighbours gardens. At the time however, it was believed that nothing was missing. But since then, there have been reports that items have been removed including garden machinery and chainsaws.
This all occurred late one evening last week in and around houses opposite the Harrow. If anyone knows any information, please let us know and in the meantime, keep your sheds locked and be on the lookout for anything unusual. You can always contact the Police here
Shed burglaries - Aylesbury Vale
This is a Community Message from Aylesbury Watch Office on Friday 16 March.
Over the past couple of weeks there has been an increase in the number of burglaries reported to garden sheds in the Aylesbury Vale area. In view of this, please consider the following crime prevention advice:-
Make sure your sheds and outbuildings are secured with a good quality lock.
Consider replacing screws on door hinges with anti-tamper screws – available from most DIY stores.
Think about purchasing a shed alarm to protect your property.
Lock your garden tools away and make sure they are marked with your postcode and house number. Consider investing in a DNA property marking kit.
Make sure any suspicious activity is reported immediately to the Police. Where possible, obtain a description of any persons, along with the make model, colour and registration number of any vehicle.
For further advice about protecting sheds and outbuilding visit our website www.thamesvalley.police.uk
If you have any information about crime in your area, or you are aware of anyone selling on property which you think may be stolen, call the 24 hour Police Enquiry Centre on 101.
If you don't want to talk to the Police or give your details you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
Message ends.
Police in Aylesbury would like to speak to two people who helped a victim of an attempted robbery in Stone on Friday 17 February.
At about 7.45pm, a 55-year-old man was walking along the A418 Oxford Road, towards Thame. As he neared the village hall, he was grabbed by a man from behind.
Three other men ran up to him and one of them punched the victim in the face, causing him to fall on the floor, where he received another kick in the knee.
At that point a vehicle pulled over, a man and a woman got out to help and the offenders ran off towards the recreation ground.
The victim was asked if he needed a lift home but he said he was fine. The couple then left.
PC Lucy Hale, from Aylesbury police station, said: "Unfortunately the victim cannot remember anything about the couple, not even the colour of their vehicle, but I am appealing for these two people to come forward as they may be able to assist in identifying the offenders."
Anyone with any information about the incident should contact PC Hale via the 24-hour Thames Valley Police Enquiry Line on 101.
If you don't want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.
Most people who call at your home will be genuine. But sometimes, people turn up unannounced, with the intention of tricking their way into your home. These 'distraction burglars' or 'bogus callers' get into vulnerable people's homes under false pretences – for example by acting as gas or water board officials, by leading you to believe you need false work done, or by asking to get their ball from your garden.
You must always be careful who you let into your home. Ask to see the caller's identity. Genuine tradesmen will carry a photographic identification card. Check this carefully. If you are still unsure, telephone their company, using a number from the Telephone Directory or by ringing Directory Enquiries.
The advice for residents is to Stop, Chain, Check.
If you suspect you, or someone you know, has been visited by a bogus caller please call the Police as soon as possible - you may well prevent other crimes occurring. In an emergency dial 999, otherwise report incidents on 0845 8 505 505.
Following a complaint from a member of the public, we have found quantities of counterfeit Glen's Vodka and Jacobs Creek wine at convenience stores in High Wycombe.
Counterfeit alcohol can be contaminated with dangerous chemicals such as methonal. In extreme cases this has led to blindness and death.
We have previously tested counterfeit Vodka which has been found to be unsafe and may cause harm to the people drinking it. If you have suspicions about alochol you have purchased contact Consumer Direct 0808 156 2259

Welcome to your local Neighbourhood Police Team..... PC 5924 Dean Kingham and PCSO C9830 Sue Jones are the local police team for the Haddenham and Long Crendon District, which covers about nineteen villages and hamlets from Bishopstone across to Worminghall. We are based at Waddesdon Police Station and can be contacted by telephone on 08458 505505 or by email email@example.com. We are always pleased to hear from you about any issues or concerns that you may have or if you just want to meet us.
You can read our monthly newsletters on this site but will use this page in order to advise you about any specific concerns or incidents which may be of interest. We will also attach Neighbourhood Watch messages which are sent around to NHW members. This information can act as a warning for incidents which have occurred in the area or give information on crime prevention or events that may be forthcoming. If you would like to have any further information about anything on this site, please contact us on the above number or email address.
Last month saw a busy operational period for this neighbourhood area in particular with thefts and burglaries. Unfortunately, residents are still leaving vehicles insecure which are allowing offenders to target vehicles and getting away with your hard earned possessions.
Meanwhile, the team have been out and about at various fetes across the area offering crime prevention advice. The marked TVP tractor has also been making numerous appearances across the area. In other good news, we now have a dedicated team of seven Special Constables for the area. Please continue to update us with any suspicious incidents or vehicles in your villages, and always inform the police of any crimes on the area so that we can deal with all incidents a positive and proactive way.

A MAN who built up one of the biggest child pornography collections in Wales, has been jailed for 15 months by a judge at Swansea Crown Court.
Peter Charles Benson, 54, downloaded 50,711 images over a decade at his home in Felin Cwrt House at Login near Whitland.
A total of 235 of the images fell into the most serious category of child pornography.
Some of the images appear to have been filmed in Eastern Europe.
Unemployed Benson added a second hard drive to his computer to handle all the pictures.
He also created more than 1,000 sub directories to separate the images into categories of abuse.
Judge Michael Burr told Benson he was disturbed at the fact that Benson still seemed to view the offences as being victimless when the contrary was the truth.
The case resulted from a police raid on his home in July last year.
Benson admitted 15 specimen offences of possessing and making indecent images of children.
He was ordered to register with the police as a sex offender for the next 10 years.
Judge Burr described his collection of pornographic images as "vast".
And he told Benson it must have been clear to anyone viewing the images that the children were in distress.

Ever since last semester when this decision was made, I have been trying to get into the Unreal tutorials and get back into the swing of things programming wise, considering I am no longer a Community Director and now officially a programmer for our game, Battle Gnomes.
Considering I never got the opportunity to actually program in Hero, the games I have been apart of programming wise have been in Unity.
So it was nice to start off some tutorials that explained the similarities and difference between Unreal and Unity.
After starting the programming tutorials, I really like how the Unreal Editor makes using C++ so easy! They have a lot of great quick and easy ways to build and compile your code as well as an easy set up integrating Visual Studios into your projects. It was really easy to create new C++ classes and adding Instances of new classes into a level.
I was never worried about having to learn a new game engine, I was actually very excited to finally have a reason to learn a new one. All my previous projects have been in Unity 3D, and I had just started learning the Hero Engine. Don't get me wrong, I still have nothing bad to say about Unity3D, but I have been dying to find the time to learn the Unreal Engine, to really broaden my skills and become a good in-game engine programmer and designer.
Now I am currently doing a quick tutorial on a 3rd Person Power Up Game tutorial and moving along on my first task for the game.

'After' (OED) the Games, the Park
It's difficult to keep track of the changing size and definition of the much vaunted 'largest new park, or new urban park, in Europe, or in London, for 200, 150, 100 years'. In fact it can't even claim to be the largest new urban park in London in the last 20 years. First it was 129 hectares, then it was 110, 102 and now perhaps just 100 hectares. And is a car park parkland? At one time, according to the ODA, it wasn't but now apparently it is when it is in an Olympic legacy park and so is the field of play of the Main Stadium, even though it is in the middle of a large building.

Indian Olympians call for Dow 2012 Boycott
Former Indian Olympics hockey players have demanded that Locog withdraw from the deal with Dow Chemicals to provide the wrap around the main stadium. A number of players came from Bhopal and were witnesses to the event or had relatives who died in the mass poisoning. If Lowcog refuses they will call for a boycott of the London Games. Former hockey star Amer Sher Khan said: 'We will ask the government to boycott the games if the LOCOG carries out the deal despite being conveyed the message in this regard.'

NTAG: Terror threat stops Olympics nuclear trains
Ahead of a planned demonstration in Stratford on Saturday by Nuclear Trains Action Group (NTAG) against nuclear trains passing through London, train operator Direct Rail Services has announced that it has suspended nuclear trains from Sizewell during the Olympics. DRS says: "As responsible operators, we always work closely with our regulators and suppliers in all our areas of operation and making these temporary changes to our spent nuclear fuel movements will ensure that we do not impede on passenger train operators' ability to deliver an efficient service."

a message from their sponsors
No telly so haven't seen it, but on Twitter @jennifermjones was rather caustic about Tier 1 sponsor BP's new Olympics greenwashing ad:
Oh my god. Just saw the London2012/BP advert. It is a f***ing oil company talking about blatantly greening a mega event.
As @PlatformLondon point out, BP do culture-washing too. The newly launched UK edition of HuffPo has a review, Hunt's Glass Slipper is Filling with Toxic Toes. As the title suggests it's not exactly flattering about the new Tessa, Jeremy *unt either.
But Reverend Billy is coming to cleanse them. And there was some guerilla ballet in Trafalgar Square too: BP White Swan

Manor Garden Allotments ODA picnic invite insult
Hitting a new low of poor taste in PR, plotholders evicted from the historic Manor Garden Allotments received an invitation from the Olympic Delivery Authority to see the 'progress' on the Olympic landscaping for which the ODA demolished their gardens three years ago. The photo on the invite is taken from a spot near the middle of the old allotment site, which stretched down to the bridge embankment in the upper left.
