Cycling's greatest road race will start on July 3 in Rotterdam with the now traditional prologue time trial, as Holland hosts its fifth Grand Départ, it was confirmed today.
The 97th edition of the race will celebrate a centenary of racing in the Pyrénées with two climbs of the famous Col du Tourmalet on stages 17 and 18. Riders must also tackle the Col d'Aspin and the Col d'Aubisque.
"With the celebration of the first crossing of the Pyrenees, it's logical that the Pyrenees will be harder than the Alps on this Tour," Christian Prudhomme, the Tour director, said.
As would be expected with the Tour de France travelling so close to the home of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Paris-Roubaix spring classics on stage three, riders can expect to have to tackle the pavé, or cobblestones, so common in that region.
"We don't put cobblestones for riders to fall, but to make a selection," Prudhomme said. "There will be 11 kilometres of cobblestones in the last 30 kilometres. There will be some damage."
The team time-trial, a particularly favourite discipline of Lance Armstrong's, the seven-time winner, has been dropped after its dramatic return at this year's race following a three year absence.
Organisers have also decided to include just one individual time-trial, the 51km stage from Bordeaux to Pauillac, on the penultimate day of racing before riders head towards the French capital to complete the three-week, 3,596km, race.

Get Connected to the Future of Research
Ben Evans said it best, "Mobile is eating the world".
In this latest podcast from Mobile Marketing Watch, we discuss why taking a mobile-first approach to market research is the way of the future, and why marketers need to tune in to where there customers are.
Some key points covered:

Hundreds of hours of video presentations on mobile research from MRMW conferences
Singapore-based mobile ad company InMobi has agreed to pay $950k and implement a rigorous internal privacy program to settle US Federal Trade Commission charges of large scale unauthorised location tracking, for ad targeting purposes.
The FTC alleged that InMobi tracked the locations of hundreds of millions of consumers, including children, without their knowledge or consent, misrepresenting its policy as opt-in only. The complaint said the firm actually tracked locations whether or not the apps using its software asked for consumers' permission, and even when they had specifically opted out of location tracking. In addition, specifically in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), such information was collected from apps clearly aimed at children, despite promising not to do so and without the consent of parents or guardians.
The settlement imposes a $4m civil penalty, suspended to $950,000 based on the company's 'financial condition'. InMobi must also delete all the data collected from children, all the location information collected without consent, and must bring in a comprehensive privacy program subject to an independent audit every two years for the next twenty years.
Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said of the case: 'InMobi tracked the locations of hundreds of millions of consumers, including children, without their consent, in many cases totally ignoring consumers' express privacy preferences. This settlement ensures that InMobi will honor consumers' privacy choices in the future, and will be held accountable for keeping their privacy promises'.

Content marketers have been warned for years to get ready for mobile marketing. Mary Meeker's 2008 pronouncement that mobile would "overtake fixed Internet access by 2014" came true; we crossed that threshold at full steam to navigate our way through "Mobilegeddon" and beyond.
Google's 2015 changes to its mobile search algorithm caused collective palpitations over the potential damage it could (and did) do to small businesses. As the changes continue—and best practices regarding new tech adoption and media channel preferences evolve more and more rapidly—it's high time to re-examine your content marketing strategies.
Are you still giving your target audiences what they want, served up just the way they like it?
Our company's recent survey of more than 1,000 U.S. mobile phone users—representing a bell curve of ages ranging from 14 to 54 and a male/female split of 38 percent to 62 percent—not only gave us valuable new insights, but they also reaffirmed common knowledge.
We asked respondents about their preferences for internet use. In other words, how, what, where, when, and why do they access it? While the results didn't come as an enormous surprise, they certainly provided for some intriguing breakdowns across the different demographics.
We've culled and analyzed the data, and here are four key ways you can advance your content marketing initiatives using the findings from this survey.
Mary Meeker called it. Of 1,000 respondents, 658 reported that their primary method of accessing the Internet was via their mobile phones. That's almost 70%!
Why? It comes down to convenience. The content they seek is literally in their back pockets. The top three reasons those surveyed would read an article or blog on mobile instead of a desktop were:
What does that mean for content marketers? It means mobile marketing is about more than just responsive design. Here's what else smart mobile marketing entails:
Naturally, we can look to the consumer packaged goods sector for standout examples of mobile-first strategies. For instance, take Unilever, 2015's Mobile Marketer of the Year. Already known for its emotional—and viral—"Real Beauty" campaigns for its Dove skin care line, the company took it to the next level last year by introducing emojis for women of all shapes and colors to use in their text messaging.
Unilever also used mobile ads to direct users to its YouTube tutorials on hair care for Tresemmé, another of its brands. And for its brand Magnum, Unilever launched a campaign in Ecuador that combined geo-targeting with consumers' inherent urge to create and interact. Using mobile banners to alert nearby consumers of the unique opportunity to design their own ice cream bars, Unilever drove foot traffic to a local shop.
What would you guess is most important to your readers: headline, image, or video? These days, it seems like all of the social platforms are adding or improving their video-sharing and live-broadcasting capabilities. So if you guessed video, you wouldn't be alone.
But you would be wrong, according to our survey.
Overwhelmingly, the headline is still most important to capturing clicks. Sixty-one percent of adults surveyed said it's what makes them click. Images came second at 23.6 percent, and video came in last as a reason to click, with only 15.4 percent of adult respondents selecting it.
It is worth noting that the younger demographic, ages 14 to 17, is more egalitarian in their click preferences. Among this group, headline and video were almost evenly split at nearly 38 percent and nearly 36 percent, respectively, with image coming in around 28 percent.
No matter the medium, people want to get to the right content to find the information they need and consume it quickly. With this in mind, content marketers must craft compelling, concise information. Use a headline analyzer like the one at CoSchedule to determine if your headline is click-worthy. If not, the tool's feedback can help you refine until it is.
Forget stats you might have heard concerning morning, evening, or commuting time as the most popular times for when people want to view content. Almost half of all respondents like to consume their favorite content whenever and wherever they can.
Mobile marketing is an on-the-go, 24/7 business, so you have to make your content accessible to customers and potential customers on social feeds and mobile apps at all times. The survey results state that the majority or respondents prefer content from social media feeds, which is inherently comprised of shorter content.
But mobile doesn't mean light, so don't short-shrift readers. It's not about their attention spans so much as the screen size. Long-form content does work on smartphones, as long as it follows the principles of great user experience design and great content. Don't shorten your content; write tighter, more captivating copy.
For example, Quartz, the news outlet for digital natives, has an app for that—an iPhone app to illustrate this concept, to be exact—that is "perfect for the train, elevator, grocery store line, or wherever you have a spare moment to catch up on the news."

The top three reasons people share content are because it's humorous (19.92 percent), informational (17.77 percent), or valuable to someone they know (15.85 percent). These survey results remind us that great content must be personalized, meaningful, and relevant to the user. (highlight to tweet)
To be remarkable enough to share, your content has to fulfill people's needs at an emotional level or provide value for someone they care about. To keep it real, make sure you:
When it comes to content marketing, nothing happens until you get a click—no new leads, no conversions, nor anything approaching demonstrable ROI. Clicks fill the funnel and get those gears going, the levers in motion.
Our survey results offer an up-to-date look at how users across your target audiences are finding, choosing, consuming, reacting to, and sharing content—and, ultimately, how they are converting. Use the perspectives they've shared to boost your mobile game with the kind of smart content your audience craves.
What other insights can you draw from these survey findings to inform your content marketing strategy and make your offerings more mobile-responsive?

This is from an article on Fortune.com from March 24, 2014
Interesting to note how fortunes have changed for some of the companies listed (GetFeedback was acquired by email marketer Campaign Monitor) and how mobile has become much more mainstream and valued by clients even more than the research companies.
People are moving to mobile devices in droves, but researchers haven't followed. Online survey companies are trying to change that.
FORTUNE — The days of lengthy online surveys are numbered, and the startup GetFeedback and online survey leader SurveyMonkey are both poised to benefit.
Countless millions of dollars are spent validating the mobile revolution with adoption statistics and usage metrics. Ironically, the field of market research itself appears to have overlooked this shift, relying on outdated technology and techniques that are increasingly at odds with mobile attention spans.
According to Forrester Research, just 17% of researchers had taken their survey processes mobile as of December 2012. The most obvious side effect is falling response rates. But businesses also risk alienating existing or prospective customers by seeming out-of-step with their communications preferences. There's a lot of money at stake: A staggering $18.9 billion on a global basis is spent annually on telephone polls, online surveys, questionnaires, and other market research, says the Council of American Survey Research Organizations. Roughly $2 billion is spent on online surveys in the United States alone, according to the market research firm IBISWorld.
"People have been using online surveys for a very long time, but now at least 50% of these emails are being opened on a mobile gadget of some sort," says Scott Holden, a vice president of marketing for Salesforce CRM 0.01% , responsible for the company's Salesforce1 platform. "If you're not thinking mobile-first, you're going to be left behind for sure."
Forrester analyst Roxana Strohmenger is more blunt in her annual report, "The Mobile Market Research Landscape." She writes: "Consumers have already decided for us: If you want to connect with them, mobile is the way … For every new research study you commence moving forward, think about how mobile can play a role. Let this mobile mindset shift your perspective on how you approach testing your research questions. For example, rather than asking consumers to write about their experience at a festival, you can ask them to record through video or photos the parts they like and don't like and even have them write down their immediate thoughts and feelings."
Technology startup GetFeedback.com, launched in December 2013 by two former Salesforce.com employees, hopes to get out front of this transition with a service designed to create surveys for smartphones, tablets, and mobile web browsers. The more than 1,000 early users of GetFeedback include high-tech powerhouses Salesforce, LinkedIn LNKD -0.53% , Facebook FB 1.30% , and Dropbox, and outdoor apparel company The North Face. Prices range from $20 per month for up to 100 responses to $125 per month for up to 10,000 responses.
"This was a personal pain point for me," says Kraig Swensrud, co-founder of GetFeedback, who fielded numerous research studies in his previous role. "I asked myself, 'What experiences are we delivering in the process of getting these questions answered?' and 'How are we representing our brand when we're having this conversation?' "
One big consideration for mobile surveys is optimizing them for far smaller screen sizes, so that they can be scrolled and processed quickly — maybe during a two-minute cab ride or between meetings, Swensrud says. In markets where bandwidth is a concern or smartphone adoption is limited, some companies have also found success with SMS or text-based surveys. "This approach is also beneficial if one wants to reach a wide cross-section of a population: for example, both younger and older generations," Forrester's Strohmenger says.
Visual elements are critical: GetFeedback's templates integrate video clips, photographs, or images that reinforce a company's marketing. "You can use these surveys to create an emotional reaction to your company, product, and brand," says Salesforce's Holden. "You can make it fun and make it look like a representation of things you're looking for feedback on."
The GetFeedback software also integrates with Salesforce, so results can be shared and marketing teams can see how many different surveys are being fielded simultaneously (important for reducing respondent fatigue); additional integrations with leading marketing automation software platforms are forthcoming. This makes results far easier to interpret, Holden says.
Going mobile requires marketers to become far more disciplined about keeping surveys succinct and simple, says Dave Goldberg, CEO of online survey software company SurveyMonkey. His advice: Keep the entire process under 10 minutes. "People are going to resist long, complex surveys," he says.
How can you shorten a survey? One future method would be to integrate them with a person's identity on a social network, which could be used to collect basic demographic information. "That would be a shortcut, but it is also clearly a privacy concern," Goldberg says.
As the de facto market leader with more than 15 million customers including the likes of Kraft Foods KRFT 0.00% , Sirius XM SIRI -0.13% and Facebook, SurveyMonkey says it has seen a 14-fold increase in mobile traffic over the past three years.
The company is adjusting its platform accordingly. In late February, it released a mobile app for Apple iOS devices that marketers can use to launch surveys, and monitor and analyze results in real time. In addition, SurveyMonkey is planning technology for late 2014 that software developers can use behind the scenes to track how users interact with their mobile applications: essentially another way to gather feedback, in the moment. "Right now, they can see what people are doing, but they can't ask them why," Goldberg says.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misquoted Holden on the percentage of online survey e-mails opened on mobile devices.

Any good marketing campaign strategy strives to answer this essential question: Are we reaching the right customer, with the right message, at the right time?
Answering that question isn't easy, but doing so is vital. By collecting data on concept and product development, market trends, branding key performance indicators, campaign measurement, customer satisfaction, communication, and creative, you'll be empowered to take a more strategic marketing approach.
Moreover, selecting the right medium for gathering feedback can reduce cost, improve reach, and speed up your data collection. The trick is to get data quickly enough that it can guide internal decision-making—which makes mobile surveys a great option.
Mobile: Market Research's New Frontier
Agencies and clients need to consider that traditional methods of gathering market research (such as door to door, in person, via a live operator, and robocall surveys) have their limitations and biases.
People see door-to-door visits, live-operator calls, and robocalls to mobile phones or landlines as the most intrusive forms of survey invitations, according to a recent study.
By contrast, mobile surveys assure anonymity, eliminate interviewer bias, and reach and engage participants within their time-constrained schedules.
How do marketers know whether they're targeting the wrong survey audiences or taking antiquated approaches to data collection?
Consider these top four mistakes that marketers make when launching surveys.
1. Forgetting to consider context
A 20-year-old and a 55-year-old will have different responses to a paper-based survey. Moreover, someone accustomed to interacting with your brand on social media may balk at an email survey.
Know your audience and which mode will work best to reach your customers (e.g., in person, on paper, or by telephone, email, social media, or mobile). Make sure you know the pros and cons of each methodology, and consider how you will compile data from multiple sources.
2. Failing to put mobile first
Daily use of the mobile Internet is increasing across all age groups. Americans between ages 18 and 24 check their phones an average of 74X a day. Those between 25 and 35 look at their devices 50X per day, and 35- to 44-year-olds check them 35X a day. Phone addiction is a real phenomenon—and one that can benefit mobile marketers.
The promises of mobile are scale, reach, and efficiency. If you need quick turnaround on your concept, mobile is the fastest, most economical, and most efficient way to obtain results. Case in point: My company recently conducted a survey on the "Brexit" (i.e., whether Britain should leave the European Union). We reached out to mobile users in the UK, and we needed only to connect with 771 users to receive 750 completed surveys in just over an hour.
3. Overlooking the customer journey
People don't differentiate their online experiences by what they do on different screens, so the onus is on you to provide the best experience based on where you reach consumers.
For example, the US has about 207 million smartphone users, and 91% look to their phones for ideas in the middle of tasks, which means most customers will be on their mobile devices at some point in their journeys. What better way to evaluate your mobile impact than with a survey designed to reach the mobile user?
4. Overcomplicating survey content
People make decisions on the basis of functional, economic, or emotional benefits. Reaching a core understanding of which benefit compels your customer within just a few questions is better than having the results of an exhaustively long survey.
If a survey is too long and respondents tire out, the information they provide can become convoluted.
The nature of mobile encourages people to be concise. Every time consumers pick up their devices, it's to take action—and that means your survey needs to be clear, succinct, and time-sensitive. Plus, because consumers often multitask on their smartphones, they're more likely to drop out when the survey takes more than a few minutes or contains more than 15 questions.
* * *
A well-designed survey that reaches the target audience benefits you by helping you to collect, analyze, and understand customers' opinions. Those insights allow you to test concepts beforehand and avoid costly mistakes (e.g., the Gap logo in 2010 or Netflix Qwikster) so that you can focus your resources on developing products and features that really matter to your customers.
Remember that a survey should answer the following questions:
This originally-authored article first appeared on Memeburn.
The marketing community's obsession with finding the right audience has only intensified in the digital age. With so many ways to track consumer behavior now, we're constantly seeking the next best method for getting inside people's brains. Once we've cracked their compulsions and preferences, we can convert them by serving up the perfect products for their needs.
We fixate on producing the rights ads, content, products, and services, and then we're frustrated when conversions don't go through the roof. Where did we go wrong?
No matter how much money you invest in products and advertising, you'll never see the numbers you desire unless you're selling the right products to the right people. Not only that, but you also need to sell to the right people in the ways they want to be reached.
That's no small task, and it's critical to your business performance — which is why surveys are so appealing. Hearing directly from your audience helps you improve your marketing messaging, customer satisfaction rates, brand awareness, competitive monitoring strategies, and product development — when surveys are done right, that is.
Question-and-answer formats are fundamental to human communication. The key is asking the right questions of the right people to gain insights from your target market. Here's how to knock your next survey out of the park:
1. Define your audience
Many researchers mistakenly focus more on the questions they're asking than on the audiences they're trying to reach. But even the best questions won't provide the information you're seeking if you ask the wrong people. Be clear about what type of information you need and from whom. Do you want feedback on a new product or insights into brand loyalty? Establish your survey goals, and then go after the right people.
Identify their personas: their demographic profiles and current behaviors, as well as which platforms are most likely to engage them. People of all ages will likely prefer a mobile survey they can complete in a few minutes on their smartphones. But your 20-something customers may only be reached that way — nearly 20% of them are mobile-only. To get high-quality data, make it simple and comfortable for people to respond.
2. Reach customers on their own turf
Standard survey methods return low-quality responses for a number of reasons. Most people dislike telephone surveys when brands target them on their home landlines. Phone interviews are also becoming less effective, with 57% of Americans relying predominantly on their mobile phones and 41% using them exclusively. Moreover, in-person interviews provide in-depth, qualitative information but are limited in scale, so the data may not be broadly representative.
Paid panels also return nonrepresentative data; you have to account for bias because people receive something in exchange for participating. And online surveys demand that you pay for traffic to get people to the questionnaire site. But the biggest problem with all of these methods is that they're not one-size-fits-all solutions. Millennials who live on their mobile phones aren't going to be interested in sitting for in-person interviews or filling out lengthy surveys on a desktop site.
Fortunately, mobile survey methods hold the key to the best data, and smartphones provide affordable, unparalleled access to your audience members. You can invite them to complete simple surveys via smartphone apps. Considering that 89% of users spend most of their smartphone time in apps, it makes sense to target them there.
3. Ask the right screening questions
Screening questions play a major role in finding the right audience for your survey. If you want to select an audience based on common traits, behaviors, or opinions, your screening questions should help identify them.
Get specific here. Rather than focus on age, gender, or income level, ask, "Who is the ideal customer for my product?" That approach nets the most relevant responses, whereas targeting by age alone brings in people with too broad a range of perspectives.
Properly worded screening questions establish participants' credibility and filter out respondents who don't have strong opinions on your brand or don't fit the core criteria. They lower costs, improve data quality and analysis, and reduce respondent biases.
Let's say you want fresh, candid responses, so you decide to weed out frequent survey takers. One of your screening questions might be "Have you taken an online survey in the past six months?" Anyone who answers "yes" can be eliminated. Questions about educational background and lifestyle can also narrow the pool to the most relevant participants.
Be conscientious about the audience you want to engage with your surveys. As you become more specific and focused in your surveys, you'll receive data that's of higher quality. When you've connected with the right people, you can hone your product and marketing strategies to really meet your target market's needs.

Mobile technology is not only the future of marketing, but also its immediate present. Effective modern marketing requires both an analytical approach to evaluate what consumers really want and mobile execution strategies to deliver content whenever and wherever they want it.
The mobile user base is colossal and is only expected to continue growing. Nearly 6 in 10 people in the U.S. use their cellphones as their primary means of communication. What's more, more than half of the planet's population will have access to the internet by the end of this year, largely thanks to smartphone technology.
With so many mobile users across all age groups, why would you try to reach people any other way? The real question is: How can you most effectively gather the information you need to fuel a strategy that will reach this audience? In many cases, mobile surveys are the solution. People are more likely to respond to online surveys on mobile than on desktop computers because they can complete them from anywhere. And mobile technology can provide more accurate data through features like geolocation to better inform your mobile strategies.
When building a mobile survey, you need to answer a few basic questions:
The answers to these questions allow marketers to tailor an approach that will not only be based on accurate data, but will also resonate with audiences and increase response rates. You shouldn't simply come out and ask your survey audience these questions, though. To get honest answers, pose the following questions instead. The responses will help you find the information you need to launch more successful campaigns.
This question helps content marketers determine where their core audiences spend the majority of their time online as well as what kinds of content might attract new users. Possible answers include:
The content format, tone of voice, and distribution channels are equally important in attracting users, particularly for a native advertising campaign. Possible answers include:
Determining the target audience's proverbial "watering hole" allows marketers to determine the right channel and format for every audience. Whether that's mobile versus desktop or email versus in-app advertising, everyone has a preference about where he feels most comfortable receiving information. Possible answers include:
The previous questions can tell you what users want and where they want it. This question helps you learn how respondents like to consume content. Possible answers include:
If you know what kind of content consumers want and when they want it, then your next step is to discover when they're most likely to see it. Possible answers include:
This is, perhaps, the most critical question to determine a piece of content's vitality. Figuring out what compels users to share certain content is as important as learning what, when, how, and with whom they share it. Possible answers include:
We ran a survey of 1,000 people on their mobile content preferences, see results here: https://www.pollfish.com/dashboard/results/9274/-2113873823
The optimal length of any survey is a function of time, the number and type of questions, and the order in which they appear. Typically, mobile users begin to suffer "survey fatigue" after 15 to 17 questions. Any more than that, and you will sharply reduce the respondents completing your survey. Survey fatigue can also set in if those questions are not quick and easy to answer.
Two to three open-ended questions are fine, but people vastly prefer multiple-choice options (although 10 straight "strongly disagree or strongly agree" questions will bore them). People like to be engaged, so mix up the question styles while keeping them as simple as possible. No one has time to sit down and type out thoughtful responses to 15 survey questions on a desktop — less so, a smartphone — so keep it two minutes long, max.
Most important, be considerate of people's time and aware of the context of the environment in which they take the surveys. A user taking an in-app survey as distributed on our platform has a different frame of mind than someone responding to an email survey on desktop. Use fewer questions and shorter answers. And, to preserve the purity of responses, never ask someone to scroll back to see the answer to a previous question before he can answer the next.
Survey goals are different for every researcher. We've helped companies generate surveys on topics ranging from opinions on political issues to brand awareness to who the true criminal is on "Making a Murderer." When approached correctly, surveys can provide valuable information on just about anything. No matter the source content, delivering a survey into the hands of respondents through mobile can yield deeper, more actionable insights than any other medium.

Hey Friends!
I know you must be wondering who is Shreyas. Shreyas is my 5 year old son who is a great fan of Chota Bheem and he likes to be called as Chota Bheem. He has a collection of Chota Bheem be it School Bag, Tiffin Box, T-shirts etc. I try to mix his collection with Ben 10 and Ganesha as well, so that he should not be too obsessed with Chota Bheem. All he likes is to fight like Chota Bheem and watch his shows. This was making me little irritating as I wanted my son to see, play enjoy other things in life too. He was fussy in his eating habits which was the worrying part.
My son is emotionally attached to me and we share a bond beyond a mother son relationship. Being a mother, I switch roles from being a teacher and coach while he is studying, friends and best buddies while we are playing, dancing and a caring mother while eating food, making him sleep. I can't completely be strict or be completely casual in treating him. If you are strict your kids will never open up to you, they will tend to hide things may be good or bad, they will obey your orders but will be scared of you. If you are casual with your kids, they enjoy your company, open up things with you, but can take you for granted and might not respect you. So you need to take a role which is best suited for the situation.
Working parents spend very few hours with the kids so during the working days I prefer to be very kind and caring with kids as they don't see me the entire day and I cannot close the day with scolding them but instead I talk to them and listen to their stories. But if I am having my work off I spend my day with the kids and do talk to them if they have done wrong and lastly scold them if the need arises.
I thought to take my son's weakness to bring changes. I told him if he eats all the food in his plate, he will become strong and healthy like Chota bheem. He finishes his homework as I told him that Chota bheem is very smart because he completes his homework. Chota bheem likes to play with his friends and likes to dance. Alas, some changes have happened since then. Now Shreyas have sometimes kelloggs Chocos for breakfast, eats his food without fuss, completes his homework. He helps me while we weekly clean the house, when we get the grocery he stacks the soaps in line of washing clothes soaps, washing utensils soaps and bathing soaps.
I saw this ad of Kellogg's chocos and a smile unconsciously came on my face as I totally related myself with it.

Saint Paul's recently welcomed former pupils and their families back to the school. The former pupils were returning to the school for a special Certificate and Awards Presentation where they received their exam certificates.
The event is the school's annual celebration of the achievements of its pupils during the previous academic year with awards being given to pupils from last year's Year 11 for both achievement and progress. There was a host of awards celebrating success throughout all aspects of life at Saint Paul's.
Parents, friends, pupils and teachers gathered to recognise the achievements of the pupils and this important milestone in their lives. The event was another proud moment for the school and a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the success of the students and the staff who support them.
The school was delighted that Mrs Mary Hunter, Principal of Xaverian College Manchester, who has close links with the school, was able to attend as guest of honour and speak with the children about their achievements.
Assistant Headteacher, Mrs Claire Hunt, commented: "The Presentation Ceremony where ex-pupils return to school to collect their exam certificates is a high point in the school calendar. Their proud families joined with us to celebrate their wonderful achievements. We wish them all every success in the next chapter of their lives and wish to thank parents for all the support they have given them and us over the past few years."
"It was wonderful to see so many young people come up to proudly receive their certificates and awards," explained Deputy Headteacher, Mr Russell Paterson. "The event recognises the outstanding achievement and effort of the students.We are very proud of them all and look forward to seeing them build on their success in the future."

welcome to beard gang territory!
My post inspiration today is loosely drawn from the lumberjack profession, where men's wardrobe is characterized by plaid shirts, denims and boots. This is a very popular street style especially during the colder seasons. The picture above is an example of the 'lumberjack look' with a whole lot more edge of course.
Am back with more blue jeans (wardrobe staple), a beige plaid shirt and cut-out booties. I love this neutral+blue combo, the kind of simplicity that makes a statement. You will never go wrong with neutral colors I promise!
Plaid shirts are pretty common and are won over tank tops, tied around the waist and so on. There are basically no rules when it comes to personal style!
PS: This year my posts will be about looking good and spending less,call it 'slay-on-a-budget' campaign. You don't have to go broke to look good!!
Also don't forget to follow Thriftsassy and thriftsassy for affordable dresses,rompers and pants.
Slay-on-a-budget= Ksh1500

Ready to trade in that thirsty boring lawn for a wildflower meadow? Do a bit of research first with British gardener Christopher Lloyd's book called Meadows (Timber Press, $29.95). Lloyd dispels the myth of a maintenance-free meadow without dampening the reader's enthusiasm for creating a flowery, drought-tolerant lawn alternative. Additional wildflower information is available online:
- an article on what is considered a native plant;
- a how-to article from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center;
- pointers for buying native plants in Washington.

James E. Roberts
James E. "Jim" Roberts, who served as the state's top bridge engineer at Caltrans, passed away at the age of 75 on July 6, 2006. Mr. Roberts, who retired in 2001 as the Department's Chief Deputy Director, served as a structural engineer at Caltrans for more than half a century, including 15 years as California's State Bridge Engineer. He spearheaded the Department's $4.5 billion seismic retrofit program and oversaw nearly $50 million in seismic research projects. He was also named to the National Academy of Engineering in 1996, the only state-employed engineer to be so honored.
Jim was an early supporter of MCEER's highway project (at the time known as NCEER), and served as an active participant on the project's external Highway Seismic Research Council (HSRC). His advice and input during the formative stages of the project was very valuable and appreciated. We will miss his dedication, wise counsel and good humor very much.

What Filmmakers Are Saying
"It's so affordable compared to other workshops of the same or even lesser caliber and I can't stress how much you take away from the workshop. Besides the amazing program you gain access to a community which is rare to find. A friendly and helpful filmmaking community full of like minded people."—Hovig Kazandjian
"If you're serious about this being your passion, the workshops offer a wealth of information to help you become better at what you love to do."—Billy Dowling
"At the end of the day, money is just money. Any experiences that you can gain from working with others is worth more than money."—Sean Conley
"Go for it. The workshops will make you question all of your decisions and ultimately make you a better filmmaker, entrepreneur, and storyteller. You and your clients will both benefit from the knowledge you will learn."—Matthew Lee Moore
"I think in this field, there are a lot of opinions with very little credentials. Having someone say "we did x for x and we used x" is really helpful."—Steve Pearson
"The workshops are a professional and inexpensive way to learn your craft."—Sharon Spangler
"The presenters that are invited to speak have years of experience and are always willing to share what they know. The live stream video is perfect for attendees who can't make the trek up to Portland, OR, however if you can make it to Portland do it; the food, beer and people are authentic"—Frank Garcia
"I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and even if you already know a lot about the industry it can only benefit you hearing lessons learned from another successful person in the industry."—Scott Dossey
"It's not often you're going to get an in-depth opportunity to learn from filmmakers who are really doing great work, and really care about helping you get better. The chance to learn and have your specific questions answered is something you should take advantage of."—Braden Dragomir
"I'd say it's worth it to be a part of the community on Facebook."—Bryce

It's been some time since we last had an update, and there's a lot of ground to cover. Let's just tackle these things by division.
AL North
-This is a division that highlights that the league isn't so much separated into the haves and have nots, but the tries and the try nots. The disparity between the top two teams and the bottom two teams represents a common thread amongst each league.
-Augusta made a huge splash in free agency when they acquired renowned slugger Wiki Armas, but more credit for the team's success should go to Cleveland holdovers Brian Mays and Roosevelt Adcock. The turnaround has been sharp, but it also makes one wonder how successful dmurphy could have been if he spent half the effort on his team as he did on selling stolen Wii Fits online.
-Toledo trading Wilfredo Gonzalez in-season within the division might seem shocking, but Gonzalez had to go. He wouldn't let anyone have the remote in the locker room, and insisted on watching reruns of Chopped.
-Virgil Seanez is destined for the DL this season. Not because he's injury-prone, but because he'll throw his back out carrying this team.
-gin still doesn't give a shit about you or this league. He'll tank all he goddamn pleases. And if it gets him more players like future stud pitcher Bernie Quintero, it might just help him eventually become respectable again.
AL East
-Cy Townsend for Norfolk eats boogers.
-It's bullshit how many good young players Stu has in his organization.
-Wichita is using great pitching and Gill McMillan to make a push for the division crown, but the real unsung hero for this team is cbriese. Because I'm pretty sure he's paying for it all and randomly throws players his son's way to fill out an already strong roster.
-Buffalo's top draft pick Stretch Martin went on the DL with back spasms, which is somewhat ironic because he probably would have been fine if he actually stretched.
-Pittsburgh selected elite catcher Wilson Harper with the third pick of the draft. Harper used his $5,501,000 bonus to buy a shitload of pajama jeans. He likes to wear them when he's catching a bullpen session, and even asked the minor league affiliates of Pittsburgh to adopt denim-themed uniforms. So if he says he's into pajama jeans because he's being ironic, he's a lying twat. He loves those pants.
AL South
-For some reason, Sam Swindell always draws the most awful trade offers. Sure, he's an odd player to evaluate because his low stamina means he's either an upper echelon starter who can't get deep into games, or a relief pitcher who can't really throw all that frequently. But the return suggested by other teams always seems to more or less reflect what you'd get for an above average Set Up A pitcher.
-Montgomery Rule V pick Deep Throat Lee is really popular with the Alabama gay community (i.e. jktcat and Nick Saban), but he insists the name came from his parents' affinity for anonymous political informants and not anything sexual.
-Kansas City never seems to make any off-season upgrades, and yet still finds itself contending for the division title. Babypop likes to keep everything in house as an organization. The rationalization isn't that KC is awesome at talent acquisition or developing players, it's more because babypop is too shy to talk to new players. He's waiting for the free agents to come to him.
-San Antonio was shocked when slugger Juan Cano dropped to them in the draft. For all intensive purposes, this was a steal. It had them rethinking why he dropped as much as he did. Did they do well enough research? Maybe. But rumor has it that some teams took him off their boards because he listed Whitney as his favorite TV show on a background information survey and they wonder what sort of brain damage he has.
-Ha. Bret. Remember when people thought he wouldn't suck? That worked out. I can't even tell if this terrible season is on purpose or not.
AL West
-The fact that Salem is still sometimes playing Hootie Stewart has to be illegal, right? It's at least unethical to abuse a corpse like that.
-Colorado decided to invest $0 in amateur scouting budgets in a season when they had three first round draft picks. Yeah, the picks were pretty terrible, but they were still better than some of the ones bret would make when he was actually trying.
-The Colorado beat writers have openly started a Hal Fitzgerald for MVP campaign on twitter, but they haven't yet found a deft pun to use as a catchphrase. So far they have "AL MVP? Go to Hal." Or "Fitz In Your Box".
-Albuquerque decided to resign Albert Encarnacion. He's got an ERA under 4.00 for the first time in ten seasons, so winepimp figured he'd reward him by tacking on another year to his contract. Encarnacion needed the money anyway. He practically went bankrupt when he invested all his money into packs of Garbage Pail Kid trading cards and the Garbage Pail market started drying up.
-One has to wonder what dirt Edgard Amaro has on Fregoe for him to even be on the ML roster, and making over $600,000. My guess is he saw Fregoe pressing his dick into silly putty to see what happens.
NL North
-Cincinnati OF Shaggy Barnes still has never seen Anchorman despite everyone else on the team telling him he "needs to see it"
-Detroit isn't winning the division, but the team isn't letting themselves feel down. Instead robusk has them all listening to this album from Kurt Vile.
-Insiders are becoming wary as there hasn't been any mention recently from robusk about how his team is just overachieving or shouldn't really be contending for the playoffs. Competing teams are feeling uneasy about the lack of gratuitous self-promotion, because they can't gauge their own deficiencies otherwise.
-When David Bako came off the Disabled List, people in Hartford cried from their genitals.
-Columbus wound up releasing recent draftee Davey Smith because it was determined that he was not, in fact, former professional wrestler the British Bulldog.
NL East
-Even dherz's farts have a lisp.
-New York pitcher Ray Putnam has been using some of his salary to fund and produce an off-Broadway play called War Whores. The response has been mixed, calls have not been returned by Spielberg, but Putnam proudly tells anyone around that the puppet sex scenes in his story are much better than in Team America. Specifically stating: "War Whores is like Brown Bunny, Team America is like Bugs Bunny."
-It had to be a mistake that tylermathias won a World Series. This season is more appropriate for what should be happening in Dover. They should not have strayed so far from mediocrity, because they've now lost their identity as a team. Gill McMillan was so disappointed by the change in organizational values that he did not consider returning to Dover.
-Scranton, admirably, is still continuing the experiment of playing two Designated Hitters, despite being in the NL. Phillip May and Octavio Valenzuela are not meant to play the field. But I guess that's why Alcheez sees a little of himself in those two…
-Brad Leach is black? I never noticed before. It sucks that he can close all those games for jwelsh, but still isn't allowed in the water ice store.
NL South
-You would think Memphis' Ryuu Chong knows karate or some martial arts, but he doesn't.
-I'm really surprised that Bill Mahoney has never had a DL stint in his playing career. I guess good budgeting and good luck can help. But can they help him now that he's been SUPERJINXED?
-What's the rez stand for in that rezlife shit Vandydave is always talking about? Is that some Midwestern slang for retarded?
-I bet Clay Knotts would have a hard time making knots out of clay. I think most people would.
-Let it be known that Texas relief pitcher Hootie Pote pronounces his last name like "pootie". And it's lots of fun for announcers to say outloud.
-Mexico City had been pretty consistently stellar for a while there. Then once they break the bank to sign Slim Betemit, the team goes to the shitter. Betemit is having the worst season of his career, and he has chimichangas to blame for it.
-It's weird that as defensively conscious as Mexico City is, they somehow have ten minus plays from their pitching staff. Did someone tell them the grass around the mound is hot lava?
NL West
-Congratulations on your division title, Tisi.
-San Diego really gets a kick out of starting right handed bats.
-Cheyenne's Grant Simas is Matt Stairs' favorite fake player on a website he didn't know existed.
-It's only a matter of time before Gill Cho starts reeling off Cy Young awards. He's good already, but the only trophies he's got now are the used underwear of previous sexual conquests. I'm just surprised the guys didn't notice their underwear was missing.
-I wonder how many players have trash-talked Mo Mosely by calling him Ho Mo. It has to be pretty high. I doubt there's much originality in name-calling on the baseball diamond.

Still...it is a bit insulting, in this situation at least, to get the message "We'd like to hire your services but we just don't trust your professionalism, ethics or capability to complete the work on time and correctly." The client didn't say this of course but this is how I read the underlying intent of a phrase like "We require you to have Professional Liability Insurance".

Drupal 7.x Theme Development - Small charity
Budget $15-25 CAD / hour
This task is two-fold. In theory these tasks can be done by different people, but designers who do not understand the Drupal system sometimes envision things that prove very difficult to replicate in a Drupal theme, and so there is some sense in a "one stop shop" approach.
I have built a number of Drupal sties and typically designed all of the themes from the ground up (based on Zen), and so this is something I know how to do. But since I don't do this on a day-to-day basis, it takes longer than it should and I simply do not have the time to devote to that project right now. I am focused more on content.
The first stage is to design a theme for a small charitable organization, details of which can be provided on request. The structure of the site is essentially established and content will be posted as time goes on, but we need someone to come up with nice visuals to go with it. The following site may provide some inspiration as to an objective, but we are not looking to copy this directly or anything of that sort: [url removed, login to view]
The following features (as demonstrated on that example site) are particularly relevant here:
- a clean home page that includes a caroussel of relevant photos and captions, as well as links to 3 or 4 prime content areas, a list of recent news, a list of upcoming events, and a brief description of the organization and it's purpose
- most content pages or sections should have an image banner (e.g. [url removed, login to view]) associated with them
- social media links (at the bottom) will be included
There will be a few "special" pages, not including the home page, which may require somewhat different templates than the rest. But by and large, my hope is that most pages on the site will be workable on the basis of a single node template.
The second stage will be to develop and implement a Drupal theme around this design.
Specific technical requirements:
- design and theme must conform to current web standards (HTML5 / CSS) -- I assume that table-based layouts are a thing of the past now.
- design and theme must meet W3C AA accessibility standards wherever possible, particularly with regard to screen reader access, as this is to be deployed to an organization service blind and visually impaired consumers (proper use of logical page structures, keyboard accessible interface, proper labelling of images and other visual elements, etc.)
- usable on a variety of screen sizes (ranging from an iPhone up)
- if possible, the theme should allow for user-selectable alternate style sheets, at least for colour and perhaps font size as well.
Your proposal should include:

Madras to me is not just a metro city or the capital city of tamil nadu…But it is a city that believes in its past, but flies towards the future. Madras city is a place where cultures and traditions fuse together to give one of the most amazing lifestyle.It is the only city in India where curd rice meets fried rice…choli meets saree…and onion bajji meets pav bhajji… Isn't it surprising? But it's true. You could see people of different origin here – Madrasis, Keralites, Delhi waalas,Mumbai girls, and even a lot more of our east Asian relatives…All living in one huge society. Swanky malls dot the city but the new ones never disappear…Where, late night parties are always a trend but early morning suprabathams are never forgotten. So,the next time a Korean girl asks you out for a cup of mylapore filter coffee, don't get shocked!!! Remember, you are in Madras!!!! 😛 🙂

When it comes to online bragging, California takes the cake. A new study conducted by social media platform HeyLets found that people in the Golden State are the most boastful users of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The HeyLets experiment asked 2,500 Americans who use social media actively "to rate the number of posts they typically make on potentially self-promotional topics (such as trips to special locations, attendance at memorable events, and work-related good news)." They were "floored" with the results.
Texas came last in the list of 20 of "Most Boastful," making it far less arrogant by comparison. New Jersey and New York came smack in the middle of that list in #9 and #10. But it was Utah that took the #1 spot for being host to the most humble social media users in the survey. Over 70% of Utah's population is Mormon, and Salt Lake City (it's capital city) is home to the largest Mormon church in the world.
The most "self-promotional" images were pictures of:
#1. Going on a special trip (62%)
#2: Attending a memorable event (59%)
#3: Meeting a noteworthy person (54%)
#4: Something nice that your significant other did (53%)
#5: Getting work-related good news (52%)
Here's the full list of all of HeyLets's findings, which were broken down by state.
A study released by Harvard University last month found that people are less likely to want to see that amazing vacation photo, and will either tune the person posting it out or unfollow their public posts in some cases.
With the advent, and increased use, of "selfie sticks," HeyLets might want to revisit the experiment again in the near future.
Are selfie sticks a tourist convenience or purely narcissi-stick? http://firstname.lastname@example.com/Rur6ZJkJrs

MARCOTTE, Isabelle - uqam
Résumé de recherche :
Our research laboratory relies on the versatility and wide spectrum applications of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR) spectroscopy to study membrane systems (proteins and lipids) as well as natural protein fibres. 1. Biological membrane systems Our research interests target the action mechanism of therapeutic molecules involving interactions with biological membrane systems. It comprises three major aspects that address important health issues.
1) The first aspect aims at determining the molecular characteristics and interactions responsible for the blockage of heart hERG (human ether-à-gogo- related gene) potassium channels by prescription drugs resulting in a secondary effect known as the long QT syndrome (LQTS). This syndrome is characterized by a prolongation of the repolarization interval of the cardiac wave which can provoke ventricular arrhythmia called "Torsades de Pointes" often responsible for heart failure. We investigate the interaction of hERG-active drugs with hERG domains and their membrane environment.
2) The focus of the second aspect is to better understand the toxicity mechanism of nanoparticles (NPs) and develop NP-based antibiotics. More specifically, we study the mechanism of membrane penetration of fullerene and custom-made NPs with model eukaryote and bacterial membranes.
3) Finally, we are developing gut membrane permeation assays for the optimization of drug formulations. This aim of this project is to improve drug bioavailability by optimizing their absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract, which could help reducing the dosage used in therapies. 2. Structural study of mussel byssus Nature has designed high-performance proteins critical for the survival of different species, such as spider silk and mussel byssus. The byssus is made of collagen-rich fibres anchoring the molluscs to solid substrates. Using blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from Magdalene Islands, we investigate the molecular structure responsible for the peculiar extensibility and strength of the byssus.

On Good Friday, April 23, 1014, an epic battle waged near Dublin's shores. A battle culminating the reign of a man considered by many to be the only true Ard Ri (High King) of Ireland – Brian Boru.
This struggle served a bittersweet victory. While King Brian's forces came out victorious in the end, the Battle of Clontarf resulted in the death of many, including Brian himself.
Now, a millennium later, the Dublin City Council proposes to bring the Battle of Clontarf to life once again in the largest living history re-enactment ever produced in Ireland.
This is something I wish I could see. If ever there was a time to visit Ireland, it's now!
For twelve years I've studied the life and times of Brian Boru. Investing so much in Ireland's history has a way of affecting a person. I feel enriched for the things I've learned and want so much to find others to share in that passion.
However, those who know little to nothing about Ireland's history, would fail to see the significance of some battle that took place a thousand years ago. So if I may, allow me to share a glimpse of this intriguing past with you.
Brian Boru otherwise known as Brian mac Cennétig (pronounced "Kennedy"), descended from the Dal Cais (Dal Cash) – a small, battle-hardened clan ruling in Thomond, now present day County Clare.
Dynastic struggles were the norm in ancient Ireland. You see, Ireland had many kings and petty kings ruling over its clans. Ideally, the hierarchy looked something like this:
- A high king (Ard Ri) ruled over all Ireland
- Provincial kings ruled each of the 5 provinces beneath him.
- Petty kings ruled each of the tuaths (patrimonial lands under the control of dominant clans) within those provinces.
- Chieftains (still known as kings but later degraded to the term "lords") served as the leader of each clan.
In reality, the provincial kings of Meath, Ulster, Connacht, Munster and Leinster were the major players. All other kings fought and vied for those provincial seats. Meath, however, carried with it the symbolic title of the high kingship because of its reputation and association with Tara – the ancient seat of Ireland's high kings.
In the mindset of all Irish, attaining the high kingship was the ultimate symbol of power and authority.
By the 10th century, Munster proved to be the unlikely fostering place for that claimant. Brian Boru's father, Cennétig mac Lorcan, had for years, engaged in conflicts with neighboring Danes and even on occasion, Munster's provincial king. Thomond was one of Munster's northernmost tuaths, and the Dal Cais were considered insignificant compared to the Eoghanacht (Owenacht) clans who had ruled over Munster for centuries.
But the Eoghanachts were weakening. Not long after Cennétig's death, Brian's brother, Mahon, took over as king of the Dal Cais. Wearied by war, Mahon arranged a peace between the Dal Cais and the Danes of Limerick, who were also instrumental in Munster's dynastic struggles.
Brian despised Mahon's decision, and so formed his own war band, using guerrilla tactics to continue his fight against the Danes encroaching on their clan's land. This garnered Brian fame in Munster. Eventually, his fame served to light a fire under Mahon and he lead the Dal Cais to take Munster's provincial seat in Cashel from the Eoghanachts – unopposed.
This bold move earned Mahon enemies and he was eventually assassinated.
Brian took over his brother's kingship in 976, proving an unmatchable foe to his opposition in Munster. By the year 1002, Munster and most of fractious Ireland fell to his rule. Brian then set out to make the ceremonial title of High King a reality. He succeeded.
Then came Clontarf.
Now, much of Brian's reign was marked by the hype of him single-highhandedly driving out the Viking threat in Ireland. This was never the case.
Yes, Brian and the Dal Cais fought against their Scandinavian counterparts on many occasions. The Danes and Norse were fully integrated in Irish society by the 10th century and integral to Ireland's growth – scientifically and economically. They were just as fractious as the Irish and just as heavily involved in Ireland's continuous power struggles.
Yet, Brian was an excellent political and military mind. So many of the Danes and Norse he formally fought, soon became his allies. These allies fought alongside him at Clontarf.
So much for the Viking versus Irish theory.
The Battle of Clontarf essentially was another struggle for sovereignty in Ireland. The province of Leinster revolted against Brian's rule. Its king, Máel Mórda, was Brian's former brother in-law. Loyalty between them was never strong. After Brian divorced Máel Mórda's sister, Gormflaith, events snowballed until Leinster and Dublin formed armies in opposition to the high kingship.
Dublin was ruled by the Norse king, Sitric Silkbeard. That fact made this web all the more twisted. Sitric was Gormflaith's son (from a previous marriage) and Brian Boru's son in-law.
Talk about your family feud!
Sitric, Gormflaith, and Máel Mórda, actively engaged in collecting forces against Brian. Sitric visited Earl Sigurd of the Orkneys, who agreed to have his fleet in Dublin on Palm Sunday. Sitric then traveled to the Isle of Man and gained support from two notorious Viking leaders, brothers Brodar and Ospak, sons of the King of Lochlann and all northern Saxon lands. All 2000 of their troops were said to have triple-plated armor made of refined iron or cool noncorroding brass, which encased their bodies from head to foot.
Impressive for the period.
A conflict arose between Ospak and Brodar, however. So Ospak took 10 Viking ships, leaving his brother with 20, and sailed to Kincora to join Brian Boru.
Take that, Leinster allies!
Warned of his enemies' preparations, King Brian readied himself for battle. By spring on March 17th, Brian organized the provincial troops of Munster, Connacht and Meath, against Dublin and the King of Leinster. He did a little plundering along the way to draw attention to himself, while dispatching his youngest son, Donough, and Munster's third battalion, to plunder Leinster, which lay unprotected since most of its war bands had followed their king to Dublin.
A nice diversion.
Seeing their lands pillaged, the troops in Dublin's city sallied in battle array.
Encamped on the Plain (or Green) of Dublin – Magh-nEalta Plain, Brian held a war council with his principle chieftains. They decided to risk a general engagement on the following morning.
Battle was joined near the salmon fishing weir of Clontarf. The forces were nearly equal in balance and engaged in a dogged struggle that lasted almost the entire day. Some accounts say the battle opened with several personal taunts between men on the opposing lines, often ending with the two marching out into the middle of the field to enter personal combat, while the forces on either side cheered.
It escalated from there.
All Irish accounts agree that Brian's forces advanced on the battlefield in three divisions against their enemies, who arranged in similar formation. Njal's Saga confirms the Irish accounts. It tells us that Brodar and Sitric of Dublin commanded the wings and Earl Sigurd the center of the Danish army.
According to the Leabhar Oiris, the Dalcassian battalion marched under the command of Murrough, King Brian's son. They were pitted against the mail-clad Norsemen. The second battalion, opposing Leinster and one Danish squadron, was under the command of Brian's son in-law, Cian mac Mael Muadh. The third battalion, composed of the Connacht tribes, fought under Tadhg O'Connor of Connacht and O'Kelly of Ui Maine. These opposed the Dublin Danes.
At first the battle favored Brodar's forces – their heavier weapons prevailing over the Dal Cais. Thanks to Brian's Viking mercenaries, Ireland's high king was able to utilize his own advantage in this regard and slowly pushed their opposition back. By afternoon, Brodar's forces began fleeing to their long-ships.
Meanwhile, both Sigurd's and Máel Mórda's forces hammered Munster's ranks at the center. Then Sigurd came to a swift death and by the day's end, his forces found themselves with both flanks failing and exhausted.
Dublin's ranks decided to flee to the city.
In 1014, the Viking city of Dublin was confined to the south bank of the River Liffey and was connected to the north bank, and Clontarf, by a single bridge – Dubhgall's Bridge. Brian's ally, Malachy II, who through a quarrel abandoned Brian prior to the battle, had a change of heart and decided to re-enter the fray.
A man of means, who formerly held the title of High King, Malachy II lead Meath's forces in pursuit of those from Dublin. Effectively cutting them off from the bridge and the battlefield, Malachy II routed the enemy ranks. Prevented from taking refuge in Dublin, Leinster's allies were forced to the sea.
The receding tide carried their ships out of reach and many drowned.
Sitric Silkbeard never actually joined in the fighting. Instead, he and his wife (Brian's daughter) watched the conflict from Dublin's battlements.
When Brian's daughter observed the Dane's retreat, she mocked her husband by saying, "It seems to me that the foreigners have gained their patrimony."
"What meanest thou, woman?" Sitric asked.
"Are they not rushing into the sea, which is their natural inheritance?" She replied. "I wonder, are they in heat like cattle; if so, they tarry not to be milked?"
Like father like daughter. Brian would have been proud.
Sitric, lost it and gave her a blow, knocking out one of her teeth.
Under the protection of a shield-burg thrown up around him, King Brian spent the battle engaged in prayer within the privacy of his tent. It was said he would not fight on a fast day.
Norsemen fleeing the scene of battle, broke through the shield-burg and killed Brian. Some accounts say Brodar lead this party and slew Brian with an ax. After discovering Brian Boru slain, the Irish, in a fit of rage, disemboweled Brian's killers and hung their innards and corpses in a tree for the crows to feast upon.
Clontarf had a heavy casualty list.
Some 4,000 men were killed on Brian's side and roughly 7,000 from Leinster and its allies. Three of Brian Boru's sons, Murrough, Connor, and Flann, were slain.
Murrough had taken his fifteen year old son, Turlough, into the fray with him. It was said that Turlough followed the enemy into the sea where a tidal wave caught him. The wave smashed him and the Danes he fought against the salmon weir of Clontarf, drowning them.
This is how the battle gained its name – Cath Coradh Claunatarbh, "The Battle of the Weir of Clontarf".
The men of Munster remained on the Green of Dublin for the next two days waiting for Brian's son Donough, to return from his plundering. Donough arrived at the hour of Vespers on Easter Sunday. He had 28 oxen with him, which he immediately had slaughtered there upon the field.
Sitric, having learned of this, sent a messenger to demand a share in the oxen or he would attack the shattered Dalcassian troops with his fresh Dublin garrison.
Donough sent a haughty refusal back. Sitric, being the coward that he was, didn't follow through with his threat.
The Monday after Easter was spent burying the dead. Later, Brian Boru's body was carried to Armagh. They waked his body for twelve nights before burial – an honor given previously to one other man – Saint Patrick.

How To Style A Denim Skirt
So the sun finally came to Berlin, and those rays have been splitting the rocks every day. Well, for quite a while. Right up to the day when we were planning to shoot this look. However, the weather is still warm, therefore I decided not to let the weather determine my outfit. After all, I'm from a country where it's bound to rain every day so if you can't embrace it. Your new clothes will never come to play.
We've seen all the reoccurring 90's fads coming back to the high street. From botanical prints, deconstructed denim, colourful chokers, to the denim miniskirt trend. The chances are some of you already have this staple piece hidden in the back of your wardrobe waiting to be rooted out. Well it's finally time to do so, due to this season. It's made a hot comeback.
This black denim high rise skirt was thrifted for €2 so it was a real bargain. Paired with an embroidered white oversized button down and a pair of Adidas Stan Smith sneakers. I kept it chic, yet comfortable. For night, I could easily elevate the entire outfit by putting a bralet underneath. Popping a few buttons & throwing on some heeled ankle boots.
The accessories were simple, just a black belt and and my everyday Chupi necklace. I threw on a pink duster and finished the look with my Chloe Faye Dupe. The colours were complimenting.

Before Christmas I spent a long evening finely shredding lemon and lime peel to make a lot of jars of lemon and lime marmalade flavoured with a splash of gin. I didn't quite get the recipe right – not enough pectin to deal with the gin (I may have added more than a splash), so it didn't properly set. It flows over toast rather than spreads and I have to store it in the fridge to keep it remotely solid.
The other problem with the marmalade is that I made about 400 jars of it. I like marmalade on toast once every 2 months. I've given away of a lot of jars (a lot), but I still have plenty left. They sit in the fridge and in the cupboard and on the shelves, twinkling amber and taunting me with the memories of a dark night spent chopping citrus skins and earning calluses. I have to do something with them.
True to form, I've turned the marmalade into a cake. I don't think there's a glut that I can't solve with butter, eggs and flour. You can use whatever flavour of marmalade you have, just adjust the fruit juice you use to make the syrup. The syrup and the marmalade make the cake moist and it will keep for a couple of days, although the syrup will begin to pool at the bottom of the cake and viciously stick it to the plate if you leave it too long.
Soaked marmalade loaf cake
Serves 8-10
175g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
260g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
130g fine shred marmalade
175g self raising flour
1 lemon and 1 lime (see note below)
1 Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°C/fan oven 160°C. Grease a 900g loaf tin with butter and line the base with baking parchment.
2 Beat the butter with 175g caster sugar until fluffy and combined. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, then beat in the marmalade. Sift in the flour and stir to combine. Spoon the batter into the cake tin, level the top with the back of your spoon and bake for 35–40 minutes until firm and risen to the touch. Cover with baking parchment if it begins to brown too quickly on top (like mine).
3 Juice the lemon and lime and mix the remaining sugar with the juice. Prick the cake all over and pour over the sweetened juice. Leave to cool completely in the tin. Serve in slices.
* If you're using orange marmalade, dissolve the sugar in the juice of 1 orange. If you're using lemon marmalade, dissolve it in the juice of 11/2 lemons and use the juice of 2 limes if you're using lime marmalade.

TOTALLY gorgeous cake, thank you! It was eaten in Kendal with relish by three grateful G&C followers…
Glad you enjoyed it. Interactive Gin and Crumpets is clearly the way forward.
I think this is how I am going to spend tomorrow – one of my last day's of freedom. I need to bake something delicious before I return to work!
Hope you like it if you make it, I'm pretty pleased with this recipe. And hope you enjoy your last day of freedom – good luck with the new job.
