Lanzarote is part of Spain, so there is a strong passion for the game in the country which boasts being both European and World champions. The infra- structure of football is extensive, with each town having its own stadium, high quality coaching, enormous participation, including numerous youth teams backed by local government funding.
The Spanish Football Federation discovered that small-sided versions of football, such as 7-a-side and futsal (5-a-side), with more ball-contact and involvement in the game, are key to developing players passing ability, quick thinking and decision-making, ball skills, confidence on the ball and all-round balance and control, all of which is shown by their top professional teams and national side. We, therefore, welcome teams who wish to play matches, or choose to learn from our English and Spanish coaching staff and former players to improve your performance.
S.E.T.T.O. has for many years, been organising football coaching, tournaments, tours in all versions of the game, from 6 years old juniors, under 10's, under 12's, under 14's, under 16's, under 18's, adults and veterans with male/female teams at various ability-levels.
We are therefore very confident that we can organise a tailor-made football itinerary designed specifically for your team(s) requirements, when coming over to the sunny island of Lanzarote.
Recent comments from touring sides
"Mike and Jack at S.E.T.T.O organised a great 18 day Euro-tour in June 2012, including matches in London, Barcelona and on the fabulous island of Lanzarote, where we were treated so well, played some challenging matches and set up a real connection between their futsal clubs and ours for future player exchange projects and coaching work. The overall tour, its organisation, the fun away from the games, and the integration between staff and the teams were all first class. We will be back for sure !"

Wrong location?
1. Rounded dining room table with 2 removable leafs and 4 chairs. Each leaf adds 12" (24" total when both inserted as shown in picture). Without the leafs, it is circular with a 58" diameter. The legs are removable. I can help remove the legs but I cannot help much with carrying it out. I think the table is 35lbs at most, chairs are maybe 5lbs each.
2. Dresser with removable mirror, the drawer portion is 33" tall, 62" wide, and 16" deep. I can assist with removing the mirror but again, i can't do much with assisting removal. No idea what this weighs but it can't be more than 45lbs at the most.
3. Matching night table to dresser, 26" wide, 16" deep and 24" tall. Some damage on top. Not sure about weight but it's not too heavy.
These are all located on a first floor railroad style apartment so they should be fairly easy to move. Only about 5 steps up to the front door. Comes from a smoke free home, I have a dog but fur and dander shouldn't be an issue with wood furniture. Ideally I'd like this out by the end of the weekend, I'll be at the apartment all the rest of today (9/30) and tomorrow afternoon/evening (10/1). I can arrange something later in the week if need be.
Dog and lamps not included

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has published the report of the Independent Comparative Case Review (ICCR), conducted by Professor Gus John.
The report presents the results of case reviews and of a statistical analysis of SRA data. The terms of reference of the review were:
"To identify whether there is disparity in the way the SRA applies its policies and procedures in dealing with BME practitioners as compared to others with a view to identifying potential improvements to such practices, policies and procedures to maximise fairness and consistency."
The 248-page report is the result of one of the most extensive pieces of independent research and analysis into regulatory outcomes for BME solicitors and builds on work previously commissioned by the SRA from Sir Herman Ouseley (2008) and Pearn Kandola (2010).
The review comprised:
It found that:
The report makes 50 recommendations for consideration by the SRA, SDT and Law Society.
Professor John said: "I hope this review will help to deepen the SRA's understanding and encourage it to review its approach to regulation. The issues that arise are not intrinsically connected to the ethnicity of BME practitioners themselves, but relate more directly to their structural location in the legal services marketplace, in the profession and in society generally.
"My expectation is that the SRA will examine the report, its findings and recommendations and identify the implications it has for its practices, policies and procedures, so that such assessment can feed in to its response to the report. There are also recommendations for others, such as the Law Society and other representative groups, as to how they can contribute to addressing the disproportionality which exists and support BME solicitors in providing access to justice for, typically, vulnerable communities."
Paul Philip, SRA Chief Executive, added: "I am grateful to Gus John for taking such a thorough approach, and for his analysis and insight. Disproportionality of outcomes for BME lawyers is, unfortunately, not confined to regulatory outcomes. The report identifies that there is not a simple, single, cause of this disproportionality and, similarly, there is not a single, simple, solution. Therefore addressing the issue will need the help and engagement of a wide range of individuals and organisations.
"Building on the previous body of work on this subject, we now have a better understanding of the challenges we, and others, face. We will take a short period of time to consider this comprehensive report, and use that time to engage and discuss these issues with a range of interested individuals and organisations. Our aim is to provide a full, public, response by the end of May."

Outdoor weddings are nothing new, but today they are receiving more positive reviews. There are simply more options, and they don't even have to be grand or expensive to be remarkable.
You probably already have a few ideas on how to set up your wedding, but these ideas can give you more options for a simple yet beautiful outdoor celebration.
Don't forget to follow the rules
Doing your wedding in your backyard can probably free you from a lot of restrictions, but even if it's your home, you still must find out if you need a permit from local authorities or associations. If you're doing it at a local park, you have to secure a permit for that and observe certain rules, particularly about serving alcohol.
Consider what children want
You probably have plenty of good things lined up for the adults, but if you are allowing children to your wedding you should also consider their needs. For example, you can have a wine bar for the adults, and for the kids, Grand Rapids Popcorn Company suggests something enjoyable like a popcorn bar. Wedding setups like this are not costly and they can keep the little ones occupied, in a delicious and delightful way.
BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze)
You may also try this strategy and party hack to lower your costs on alcohol. You will still likely have to get a permit for the alcoholic drinks, though.
Don't forget about the weather
Check the weather for that day to make sure it's sunny and comfortable enough. But all the same, be prepared. Bring out some scarves, blankets, and umbrellas that guests can use if it gets cold or starts to rain. Place them on benches near the guests or at the entrance. You can also fill buckets with hand fans, and packets of sunscreen and bug repellent lotion. If you're using candles, choose citronella candles to help repel mosquitoes.
A simple mini stereo may do
You still need a microphone to let your guests hear your vows. If you don't want to spend money on audio equipment, use your mini stereo. It can also do double duty as the music player during the reception. Your cousins or friends may also want to perform an acoustic session.
You don't have to spend a fortune to have a successful outdoor wedding. Try these suggestions and keep your special day within budget.

Dennis B. – 1 week into program
"Dynamic Health has helped me feel better and I'm only in my first week! Within the first 2 to 3 days I was already feeling more upbeat and positive and I have already started losing weight. The program is not hard. I have no hunger or cravings and I was able to stop drinking Mountain Dew cold turkey! I was drinking a six pack a day!"*
Dennis B. – 6 weeks into program
"The program has been a life changer for me. I have lost 17+ pounds and gone from a 42" to a 36" pants. My energy level is way up and I am very happy all the time. It has just been great! My blood sugars are stabilizing and decreasing. My blood pressure is stabilized. I don't have the dizziness anymore.
The Program is very straight forward, easy, and made a lot of sense. My whole life is better! My primary care doctor is extremely pleased with my results. My A1C went from a 9.1 down to a 7.1 in 6 weeks! This program works! I would recommend this program to anyone with diabetes and serious about changing their life."*
John W. – 1 month into program
"The care at Dynamic Health is excellent and I noticed the changes within the first two weeks. I have more energy, especially at night when before I would be too tired by evening to do anything else. The diet is much easier to follow and stick with than I thought. This program is definitely something I would recommend to any diabetic looking to make a change. I now have something to look forward to other than amputations or other complications in my future!"*
Ms. Evans- 2 months into program
"During my first week, the detox phase, at Dynamic Health my sugar levels and blood pressure both went way down. I'm continuing to lose weight and my clothes are fitting better and my energy has really increased. I'm so much more active and I'm getting things done sooner, no more sitting on the couch waiting to get up the energy for the things I have to do! As I'm getting older, I know that I need to take better care of myself so I can have a long life with my family. This program has really helped me to get better and be there for them. I strongly recommend this program."*
Larry B. – 2 months into program
"I followed the suggestions of my regular doctor to help with my diabetes but the doctor just kept adding medications. I found the Diabetes reversal program at Dynamic Health after an internet search and made an appointment. I am very pleased that I did! I started seeing results in the first three weeks. My energy was up and I just overall felt good. I am much more aware of the foods I should be eating and foods I should be staying away from. I am trying new foods and different recipes and I'm loving it and after 5 weeks in the program I was off all diabetic medications!! I highly recommend this program to all type 2 diabetics. It will change your life."*
Janice A. – 5 months into program
"After just one month I saw positive results! My sugar has come way down and I'm eating better than I ever have. The diet is very easy to do and the supplements are easy to follow. Dynamic Health's program has really helped me and it will help you too!"*
"I've had Diabetes for fourteen years and was taking many drugs for Diabetes, migraines, high blood pressure, and sinus infections. Needless to say I was very depressed. Now, I feel so much better and going through the cleanse helped in so many ways. I lost a lot of weight, have more energy and feel great. I am not depressed any more and I don't need my meds any more!!!"* – A.A.
" I was depressed, no energy, and had insomnia. I hated how I felt and looked. I was in a "cookie cutter" treatment that was not working for me. I was on 2 different meds that weren't working and was told that i needed insulin. If you have the opportunity to join this family DO IT! It will be the most important choice you will ever make in your life."* – C.H.
" I was very pleased with the results of the program. I lost 20lb and reversed my diabetes and stopped a lot of my medicine. I have much more energy, no more brain fog. It was the best thing I did for myself. The team at dynamic health & pain management was there with me the whole time with encouragement and a smile. Thank you all so much for your support. May God bless you and keep you safe."* – G.W.
"I'm so grateful for Dr. Altizer, after my wife saw him on Charlotte Today speaking about reversing Diabetes. I was on 3 medications for Diabetes and now after 3 months I'm down to 1 medication at half the dose I was taking. I follow the recommended plan that was designed for me and I am glad to say it's been life changing. Dr. Altizer and my goal is to take me completely off my Diabetes medication and I can certainly see it happening. In addition I have lost weight and I feel more energetic."* – J.V.
"My wife and I both go to Dynamic Health & Pain Management for separate health issues. She and I have had amazing results. I am in the diabetic program with a goal of reducing my medication intake. In 3 months, I have lost 25lbs and have been taken off 3 of 4 diabetic medications with the guidance of a physician. The diabetic program works! You just have to plug into their program and follow the dietary guidelines. Also, just want to say the staff members are always very friendly, positive and professional!"* – J.E.

You're ready and willing but your partner, who used to enjoy sex as much as you, seems to increasingly prefer Netflix. It's frustrating and it leads you to feeling less than sexy. But take heart – when your partner doesn't seem to be feeling it – there's actually a lot you can do.
Feeling you can touch your partner sexually, be physically close, feel cared for and welcomed erotically is important to individual well-being and to the health of a couple relationship. When unspoken resentments or distance build up, the desire for physical openness between partners can be the first thing to diminish. If problems are left unaddressed, it's easy to get into a cycle of increasing distance and find that one or both of you don't feel as passionate or excited anymore. Tiredness, stress or feeling unwell can build up and blunt passion, or sometimes there are other worries that need care.
That's why in many cases, the first step to getting things back on track sexually happens in the emotional rather than physical arena. After all, our state of mind is at the source of whether we feel turned on, or not. Start a loving conversation by asking your partner how they're feeling lately, what's on their to do list and find out how you can help. Talk about how you love him or her and enjoy sex. Ask how they're feeling about sex and the relationship lately.
Ask in a private moment, and not in bed where your questions could inadvertently come across as pressure. Focus on reassuring your partner how much you value them and your shared erotic life, not on being demanding. The idea is to strengthen closeness and help each other feel loved, secure and open, not to exacerbate any distance between you. Be sure to avoid any criticism or blaming in your conversation starters. For example, asking
"Why don't you want to have sex like you used to?" Is less likely to be well-received and helpful than…
"I love having sex together and I've noticed we aren't making as much time for it lately. Would you like to plan some special time together?"
Once you've explored how things are emotionally for both of you and perhaps made some time for sex, here's a few ideas for reigniting the spark:
Imagine sex as an erotic world you visit as a couple.
You both may need a little time to change out of the less sexy roles you have daily, like work and parenting and you can help each other transition to the erotic world slowly. Non-sexual touching can be a great way to make the shift to lover mode through massage, showering or stroking arms, hands, legs or other parts.
If you are in a rut, always having sex in the same ways, you may like this idea: Discuss putting aside all your usual ways of having sex for a time. For example, if you usually have sex in the same positions, rule those out for a couple of weeks and get creative. Or rule out penetrative sex this time, instead trying other ways. It will push you both to expand your minds and bodies and to feel different sensations.
Most importantly, make daily special efforts to feed your shared erotic life in multiple ways aside from sex.
As much as possible, remember to behave towards one another as you did in the early stages of your relationship. That means, rather than taking one another for granted, behave as you did when you wanted to attract your partner at the start. You seduced them by giving them the best of you – why would you take that away and expect things to remain as good?
The best way to keep your sex life alive and hot is to be the most caring, mindful presence in one another's lives 24/7 even in the subtlest ways. Keep talking and just BE the love that you ARE.

The above is from their official bio.
Early Life
What did you want to be when you grew up?
"My dad was a bareback horse rider in the circus and my mom was a trapeze star. They were both big stars. Growing up we lived a very glamorous life style. When we were not performing, we were practicing. I knew at a very early age I was an animal nut. We had 3 baby elephants, birds, bunnies, and ponies."
(Through talking with her, I feel she is a true animal lover. She connects on a level with animal that most cannot relate to.)
Did you ever want to be anything else?
"When I was going through my teenage "rebelliousness" I wanted to do TV journalism. I was a very independent person, so I found a way to incorporate my independence by purchasing and choosing my ponies."
When did you decide this was what you wanted to do?
"When I was 12, my dad stopped doing the heavy circus stuff because it involves so much and really takes a toll on your body. He decided he wanted to do the ground work with the ponies for his friend's circus, Liberty Circus. He was having a really hard time, because the ponies were not listening at all. I watched him and the other trainers and told pretty much told him 'I got it, dad.'"
(Ground work with horses and ponies is pretty much training. You stand in the center of a riding ring and either "lunge" them on a lunge rope, work them out etc. She took over most of the pony training at the age of 12. They also had dog acts in the circus. She said it was like a small family ran circus.)
Was your house "the house" to go to for all of your friends growing up?
"Not really, I have one close best friend who was there 24/7. Our mothers at the age of 13 left home to join the circus. Talking about it now it sounds crazy to think of a 13 year old leaving home to join the circus but back then it wasn't uncommon."
Show Time
How do you prepare for a show? Relax?
"Ponies? Relax? We are so busy with practice that practicing and getting the ponies ready is relaxing."
(She REALLY likes her ponies and mini ponies!)
What's the most exotic animal you've worked with?
"I would have to say the elephants. Even though most people don't have elephants growing up, they are still the most exotic."
What is the scariest moment you have had working with animals?
"It was with a horse, my mom had just made me a brand new long gown with rhinestones and feathers, and I got my heel tangled in the feathers at the bottom and ended up with a horse hoof to the nose!"
(She has had her nose broken 3 times by horses!)
What are some common misconceptions of the circus?
"Ringling Brothers makes sure all their animals are cared for by the best. They are the main priority and they will go to all lengths to make sure they have the best. For example, if we get somewhere and the hay is bad, they will order or import new fresh hay for them from where ever they need to, regardless of cost. We travel with 5 veterinarians, they rotate between the 3 shows, but at each location we have a vet area set up. Most times the veterinarians will go to the locations previously and scope it out to make sure they are familiar with everything in the event we should have an emergency."
What's your favorite animal to work with? Why?
The ponies. She REALLY likes her mini's (mini horses) because they have so much personality packed into a small body!
My daughters both do ballet, but the thought of them performing as a ballerina on horseback is terrifying to me! Were your parents not a nervous wreck?!
"I'm sure they were at first, but we always used safety harnesses, and I grew up in the world so it was easier."
(She said it was great that my girls do ballet, she thinks every girl should because it teaches them grace. Even if they stop down the road.)
Family Time
How old are your sons? (George and Cash)
George is 6 and will be going into 1st grade in the fall and Cash is 4 1/2.
What did you do as far as the circus went while you were pregnant?
"I performed up until I gave birth, I was back performing not too long after birth. With my last pregnancy with Cash, I did mostly the dog training at the end."
What are they into? With them having access to so many different animals and unique people, what do they like to do?
Her boys like Disney movies and have Frozen downloaded on everything. They really like their iPads!
When did your son's get involved with animals?
"It's so different for kids in the circus now, when I was young I had jobs I had to do. We work with the kids and they both do great with the animals. George is the natural and does great. Cash is still getting used to them."
Do they travel with you? If not, how do you deal with being away?
How long are you away from home at a time?
"We are away from home 42-45 weeks but we get up to 3 weeks off at a time. In November we finish and go home to MO for a little while. At the end of this year I will be taking some time off. My husband thinks I will get bored, and I might, but I'm taking my ponies that still need training and the boys and we are going to have some down time and see how it goes!"
Are your boys home-schooled on the road, or how does their education work?
"Ringling Bros. is great about education for the circus kids. At each location they set up a room that is devoted to only schooling and a nursery. We have 2 teachers who teach the kids, so education is never compromised."
Do you think your sons will follow in you and your husband's footsteps?
She's not really sure yet, but said that if they do or they don't, it's no pressure. They can do what they want and they will support them.
How is working with your husband? How do you separate home and work?
"It's GREAT! We both grew up in the circus so we are both used to the circus family scene. We are married and have been together since 2001, we work as a team on everything, when I'm training he helps with the kids, he helps so much, we are a team. I fell in love with him, because here's this big "macho" guy, yet he is so gentle with the animals. He is so kindhearted. He's great."
(This girl loves her husband, she is passionate about him. You can hear it in her voice, she is 110% in love with her husband!)
Most of my readers are moms, with you being in the spotlight, what type of normal "mom" things do you do in your down time? (No makeup, sweatpants, and Starbucks?)
"Oh, Yeah! I'm a normal mom, I try to stay in my PJ's for the most of the first part of the week! Being a mom in the circus is different. In between sets I go take the kids their snacks for snack time and then go back to the show. Just the other day I told my boys who wanted to play outside, to play right around the motorhome, next thing I know they have gone off with the other circus kids and I'm out looking for them to make sure they are ok!"
(She really is a normal mom, who just happens to be in the circus!)
What is your life motto that you try to live by?
"Be happy with the now." and "Try to see the positive in every situation and try to enjoy your happiness now, with what you have."
Last year, Cathy's elephant, Carol, made national news by randomly getting shot by someone. Ringling Bros gave her 3 months off to help rehabilitate and heal Carol. They also offered $10K for a reward leading to the arrest of the person who did it. You can read about that HERE! How crazy and sad is that?! Who would shoot an innocent elephant?! :(
A lot of people say Cathy acts so well when performing. She says it's not an act, she actually is truly that happy performing and can't imagine what it would be like to have a job that you hated!
I really enjoyed getting to know Cathy a little better and can't wait to take my kids to watch her perform at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Super Circus Heroes show!!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for me, Cathy!!
Make sure to check back here after May 1st for lots of pictures from our visit to the circus!

Okay, so I'll admit it: I like Frozen. I'm usually the one insisting on a horror film marathon while my boyfriend hides behind the cushions. But no, Disney has finally got me. I'll also admit to singing "Do you want to build a snowmaaaaaan?!" through my sister's bedroom door on more than one occasion. She wasn't impressed.
So here's my Frozen inspired nails. They're not perfect, but I loved painting them and showing them off. I'm sure you will, too! Now just "Let it go" and give it a try!
What you'll need:
- Nail varnish (medium blue, light blue, white)
- Clear varnish with silver glitter mixed in
- A needle
- A dotting tool
- Nail varnish remover
- Cotton bud (Q tip)
- Nail sponge OR a clean make up sponge
Step one:
Paint all of your nails with medium blue. I made sure all of my varnishes were matte so that it shows off the glitter at the end. Once dry, apply another coat. Make sure it has dried completely before moving to the next step.
Step two:
Use your sponge to dab the light blue at the tips of your nails, moving gently so that it blends into the other half. Then use a little nail varnish remover on the cotton bud to wipe off any that has spread onto your skin.
Step three:
Take your needle, dip it into the white varnish and begin to draw your designs. I went for these sparkle shapes. I then used my dotting tool to add some snowball shapes in a variety of sizes.
Step four:
Repeat the last step onto all of your nails, except for your ring finger.
TIP: Try not to make every nail too symmetrical!
Step five:
While your other nails are drying, use your medium blue and your needle to very carefully draw on an "F". I tried to get it as similar to the original Frozen font as possible. This might take a while, so be patient! I also tried to make this pretty thick so that it appears to be slightly 3D.
Step six:
Clean your needle and begin to draw an outline around the F in white varnish. Then add in some patterns around it.
Step seven:
When all of your nails have fully dried, apply a thin layer of glitter varnish all over. If you have any messy bits around your nails you can always use another Q tip dipped in nail varnish remover to tidy them up.
Aaaaand you're finished! Thanks for reading. I'll be experimenting with other Disney inspired nail designs soon, so keep checking back. Have a magical day!

It's still a future goal, but would slow down the initial implementation considerably. > # Push down of file ownership to HDFS While table ownership seems like a useful construct to start with (at least to lay the groundwork for future changes), making HBase act as table owners when interacting with HDFS would require more changes. In additional, while HDFS file ownership would make applying quotas easy, and possibly make bulk imports more straightforward, it's not clean it would offer a more secure setup. We'll leave this to evaluate in a later phase. > # HBase managed "roles" as collections of permissions We will not model "roles" internally in HBase to begin with. We will instead allow group names to be granted permissions, which will allow some external modeling of roles via group memberships. Groups will be created and manipulated externally to HBase. > While the assignment of permissions to roles and roles to users (or other roles) allows a great deal of flexibility in security policy, it would add complexity to the initial implementation. > After the initial implementation, which will appear on this issue, we will evaluate the addition of role definitions internal to HBase in a new JIRA. In this scheme, administrators could assign permissions specifying HDFS groups, and additionally HBase roles. HBase roles would be created and manipulated internally to HBase, and would appear distinct from HDFS groups via some syntactic sugar. HBase role definitions will be allowed to reference other HBase role definitions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Newly released data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has suggested that people who are separated, divorced, widowed or single are more likely to report poorer personal wellbeing than those who are married or in civil partnerships.
Family Law Aberdeen Latest News
Newly published provisional figures from National Records of Scotland have revealed that 3,462 marriages took place in Scotland in total in the first quarter of 2018. This is apparently 116 fewer than during the first quarter of 2017 (a fall of 3.2%).
New research from the United States has revealed that family courts are adopting a more gender neutral approach to the payment of financial maintenance in divorce cases.
Many couples are not totally honest with each other about their finances, new research has revealed.
The Scottish Law Commission and the Law Commission of England and Wales have begun their joint review of the laws on surrogacy....
The Court of Justice of the European Union has recently been asked to consider whether rights of access to children should also sometimes include grandparents.
The Scottish Government has announced the expansion across Scotland of an initiative designed to increase the safety of domestic abuse victims by reducing the risk of domestic abusers reoffending.
Earlier this month an interesting story was reported by several media outlets that concerned adoption in Scotland and whether it should be possible for adults to be adopted.
The Scottish Children's Reporter Administration (SCRA) has recently published the findings of research it undertook to try and establish whether child protection in Scotland has become more complex over time, and if so, in what way.
A recent study has revealed that prenuptial agreements for pets are few and far between in Scotland with eight out of ten people thought to not have considered what happens to their pet.
Despite animal care being one of the aspect that is often argued about, a mere 4% of Scottish couples have put in place a prenuptial agreement that states who would get custody of the pet in the event of a relationship breakdown. According to the study, a prenup to just include pets would be more common for young people.
Although only 4% of the couples involved in the survey had a pet prenuptial agreement, 16% of all those surveyed stated that they would care about who got to care for the pet if they separated. Many of those surveyed also stated that they would worry that their pet could be used as a bargaining chip when negotiating any sort of settlement.
Tracey Maloney, Head of Private Family at The Co-operative Legal Services, who conducted the study said: "Pets are increasingly being seen as part of the family, and when relationships break down, it's only at that point that couples begin to think about who will gain custody of their pet.
"A prenup agreement can help couples make these important decisions in advance, so that if the worst does happen, both parties are clear on who will gain custody of their pet."
A property tycoon who sits on the board of Formula One team Lotus is facing one of the largest divorce settlements seen in the UK after it was announced that he was splitting from his wife after 18 years.
Andy Ruhan, who is estimated to be worth more than £200 million began divorce proceedings last year ending almost 20 years of marriage. However, according to the Sunday Times a divorce settlement may be delayed due to a disagreement with business partners. Mr Ruhan is being sued by his former business partners for a share of the profits from the sale of 37 Thistle hotels in the mid-2000s, but the case is not due to be heard at the High Court until next year.
A woman has been unable to divorce her husband on the grounds of adultery because he did not commit adultery as he only had an affair with men.
Rather than citing adultery from her husband of 20 years, the woman was forced to cite unreasonable behaviour as the reason for the divorce. The man had affairs with at least ten different men throughout their marriage, and despite denying everything, the woman began divorce proceedings.
The matter, which came to light following a BBC Radio 4 phone in has since received national attention. According to the woman, she assumed that two of the grounds for divorce would be open to her in adultery and unreasonable behaviour, however, she was informed by her lawyer that adultery was not an option.
Although the woman citing for divorce could still obtain a separation through citing unreasonable behaviour as grounds, and that the issue did not affect the financial settlement, she told the BBC that she was in the minority of people in her situation who "care hugely about the betrayal and want to know that somebody somewhere has recognised that"
"It completely cuts underneath your sense of yourself, your sense of your marriage and you wonder why you were married to this person in the first place, did they ever love you?"
In a landmark case in the UK, an ex-wife has been awarded all of her husband's assets and his entire £550,000 fortune.
Dr Essam Aly, a hospital consultant, lost his entire fortune to his ex-wife Enas Aly after allegedly stating that he "washed his hands" of his family. Despite appealing that the ruling was unfair, the judge ruled that the initial settlement was fitting as he had neglected his family.
Dr Aly took the decision to the Appeals Court, but the judge stated in the appeal that the consultant did not deserve a penny of his fortune after abandoning his family. Dr Aly had not been paying child support to his ex-wife leading to his wife winning his assets. In total, Enas Aly was awarded the lump sum from the sale of a house as well as £310,000 from her former husband's bank account. Dr Aly had left the UK and stopped paying child support.
A group of MPs have stated that they are concerned regarding the government's stance on adoption arguing that adoption should be one of a range of options" rather than the "gold standard" for children in care.
The news comes following the second reading of the Education and Adoption Bill, which encourages adoption of children in care. The bill will see adoption agencies encouraged to merge their services into regional agencies, and will allow the government to force such action if needed.
The criticism from the government's proposals has been met with enthusiasm among some family groups and charities such as Tact, with the charity stating that the government's focus on adoption was "unhelpful"
The number of "double divorces" in the UK has more than doubled in the last year with a higher amount of coverage in the mainstream press being one of the main factors, according to experts.
A high number of disgruntled partners have returned to court to try and obtain more capital or settlements despite the divorce already going through. Official figures from the High Court showed that the number of cases rose from 14,690 in 2013 to 29,060 in 2014 in England and Wales.
Divorce lawyers and experts state that some high profile and widely discussed cases were the main reason for the stark rise in the amount of cases seen by the High Court. The case of millionaire Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, in particular, was cited as one of the main reasons for a rise. The millionaire's wife Kathleen Wyatt was given permission by the Supreme Court to seek a payout 30 years after divorce proceedings had been finished.
A report from the Fostering Network has stated that too many children are moving too often in care, with almost 50% of foster children with their third foster family.
The survey carried out by the Fostering Network found that over 30% of children between the age of 5-10 were living with their third foster family. Furthermore, 8% of all foster children living with their tenth or more foster family.
According to the foster network over 5,500 foster children, currently live with around 4,400 foster families in Scotland.
Prenuptial agreements can be one of the most effective ways to protect your assets if you get married or are in a partnership and you end up divorcing or separating. While some feel that prenuptial agreements should not be needed, divorce and separation are sadly a part of modern day life. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to plan ahead if the event occurs.
In the unlikely event that you will need a prenuptial agreement, you are ensuring your assets are protected, however, many do not wish to plan for the breakdown of a relationship. What can you do rather than arrange a prenuptial agreement that protects your assets?
According to research carried out by Slater and Gordon a quarter of couples argue due to their partners use of social media....
Cohabitation is one of the most common living arrangements in the UK, with more than six million cohabiting couples in the UK. Although there are some rules in Scotland in place to protect those cohabiting, there are numerous steps that couples can take to further protect themselves....
A millionaire has stated that his divorce, which saw his wife obtain 80% of the family property, has left him too poor to get on the housing ladder....

The crux of the bill would let the Treasury Department purchase and hold up to $700 billion in troubled assets from banks and other financial institutions.
The Senate added several provisions to the bill in an attempt to win more Republican support, including tax credit extensions and an increase in deposit insurance coverage to $250,000 per depositor.
The House plans to take up the bill Friday if leaders believe they have secured sufficient support. The chamber failed to pass the bill on Monday, rejecting it 228 to 205, amid strong Republican opposition.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate would have to stay in session until the House acts.
"We'll see Friday -- we'll see what the House does," said the Nevada Democrat. "They are coming back into session tomorrow, so we are going to have to be in session until a decision is made when the House is going to take up the legislation."
But Sen. Reid added that he hoped the Senate vote would encourage the House to follow suit. "I'm very proud of this vote... It sends a strong message to the House."
Several of the votes opposing the bill in the Senate came from members of the Senate Banking Committee: Republican Sens. Richard Shelby of
On the Democratic side, Sen. Tim Johnson of
Both presidential candidates, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., voted for the bill. The legislation was also supported by Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
During the debate on the Senate floor, lawmakers rejected by voice vote an amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders that would have taxed individuals making at least $500,000 or families making $1 million an additional 10% to help offset the government's costs.
"If we are going to bailout Wall Street, it should be those people that caused the problem, those people who have benefited from Bush's tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, those people who have taken advantage of deregulation; those people are the people who should pick up the tab," said Sen. Sanders, I-Vt.
Sen. Shelby, the Banking Committee's top Republican, voiced his opposition to the overall bill during the debate.
"As often as I have argued that we needed to address systemic risks in the financial markets, my advice has been dismissed and my concerns have proven to be fully justified," said the
Making his plea on the Senate floor, Sen. Judd Gregg, the Budget Committee's top Republican who negotiated on behalf of GOP members, backed up Sen. Shelby's foresight while urging senators to support the bill.
"If this nation had listened to Richard Shelby we probably wouldn't be here," said the New Hampshire Republican. "If there had been adequate capital formation of these institutions, if there had been adequate oversight, if there had been proper underwriting we probably wouldn't be here, but unfortunately we are here, and the hand we have been dealt is a pretty bad hand. And the options are really few. Our situation in the Congress is this: if we fail to act, we will fail the nation."
Just before the vote on the bill, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd told reporters that although he spoke with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank on Tuesday, he did not have a good feel for the bill's outlook in the House. "I don't know" if it will pass, he said.
Sen. Dodd said that Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair asked Congress for power to grant unlimited deposit insurance coverage, but that such an open-ended request was off the table.
"Sheila Bair came to us with that and she wanted more than we gave her and I think she had a point but I wasn't about to give her more than $250,000," he said. "They are regulators -- they would like no limits."
The decision to add tax extenders was "above my pay grade," he said.
"So I'm not sure whether that changes the equation or not but I'm told by those who are counting all this stuff, it helps," he said.
Sen. Dodd added that there were other items he would have liked to have included in the bill but said the balancing act was tricky and every potential change spurred others to ask for more, each threatening to alter votes.
"We all had things that we would have liked to have added but the decision was to stick to what we had instead of opening that door to add-ons because then it becomes never-ending in negotiations," he said. "Every time I brought something up there was something that someone else wanted so we just had to compromise."

Francois Pinon Vouvray Les Trois Argiles
$ 25.99
Brand Francois Pinon
This product is unavailable
The 2015 Domaine François Pinon Vouvray Les Trois Argiles ($20) is what is known informally as sec tendre, meaning it straddles the line between dry and semi-sweet.
There is a slight, winsome bit of sweetness to the Trois Argiles, but it tastes more like exuberantly ripe fruit than anything else, and it is leavened by lots of refreshing acidity and the chalky minerality that is also typical of Vouvrays. This is a delicious, lip-smacking white that will immediately strike you as an ideal springtime quaffer.

... take it as it is too large for me to swallow... I am also on Amoxicillian for a upper respiratory infection and same thing - I have to crush up both pills and take with juice or yogurt
What is the danger in crushing a mucinex pill and drinking it with juice? it is the only way I can?

Added 12 Oct 2010:
if I am not having any side effects so far, then is it okay? Wish they would make the pills smaller, would be okay swallowing 2 smaller pills instead...
Responses (2)
Do not crush or chew this medication. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Fluids will help to break up mucus and clear congestion.
Take care.-

I found this Harris' Hawk soaring over the swamp this morning about 9:00 a.m. It was riding thermals and drifted off to the northeast. I'll keep an eye out for it. I suspect that it got blown this way by the recent storm (1.65-2.25″ rain in Jacumba). This is the first Harris' since October 2013.
These pics were taken on a brand new model lens. The hawk pics are not acceptable, the bird was not too high and the pics each are about 1.9 megs. The Costa's hummer is borderline bad as is the heron. I could post some really awful oriole & kingbird pics, but, dear reader, you'd need eye-bleach. I returned the new lens, hoping that the replacement they send me will be at least as sharp as the previous model. The new len's advantage is that it weighs about half as much and has VR (vibration reduction). I won't hold my breath.

December 16, 2016 15:30 ET
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 16, 2016) - Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) proudly celebrates Montréal-Trudeau airport's 16 millionth passenger of this year. It marks the first time in the airport's history that annual passenger traffic has reached this milestone.
James Cherry, President and Chief Executive Officer, ADM, and David Rheault, Director, Government Affairs and Community Relations, Air Canada, were in attendance to celebrate the event and to present prizes to passengers aboard Air Canada flight 874, bound for Frankfurt, Germany.
"The 16 millionth passenger is on board and we are happy to celebrate this honour with everyone on the flight," said Mr. Cherry
Serving more than 137 destinations by direct flight, Montréal-Trudeau is Canada's second-largest airport in terms of international destinations and connecting traffic continues to grow, particularly because of Air Canada, which uses the airport as a hub between Europe and the United States.
"Air Canada is proud to call Montreal home and on behalf of our more than 6,000 employees here, we are very excited to contribute to the growth of Montreal-Trudeau as an important strategic hub," said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada. "As we continue to expand our global network, we will have carried a record of close to nine million customers through Montreal-Trudeau in 2016. In the past year alone we have launched or announced 13 new destinations from Montreal, including Shanghai, Algiers, Lyon, Marseille, Philadelphia, Denver, Houston and Dallas, further facilitating travel and trade for the benefit of the Montreal economy."
Montréal-Trudeau is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the terminal, which been expanded and modernized since 2002, now meets the industry's highest standards.
"We are proud of the work accomplished by ADM's employees and partners," Mr. Cherry concluded. "With the inauguration of the extension to the new international jetty, the opening of two new commercial areas in the international and domestic zones, and the addition of several new non-stop flights, 2016 definitely offered our passengers a revitalization that helped enhance the customer experience at Montréal-Trudeau."

Brittlynn is 16 Months Old!
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Brittlynn turned 16 months old on April 6th. I truly look at her now and see a TODDLER instead of a baby! I think her being potty trained really makes her SO much more "grown up!" It really doesn't make me sad though. I truly ADORE this stage and have been looking forward to this phase in our lives for awhile now :)
I'm using What to Expect the Toddler Years to compare Britt to what is the "norm" for her age. At 16 months old, Britt is doing everything she should be able to do including:
- imitate activities
- scribble (we don't do it often, I plan to have more coloring time once she drops the morning nap)
She can also do everything a 16 month old will probably be able to do including:
- say 3 words
- use an object in imitation
She can do everything a 16 month old may possibly be able to do including:
- say 6 words
- run
Britt can also do everything a toddler her age may even be able to do including:
- kick a ball forward
- brush teeth, with help (we let her brush them after we finish)
A lot of the chapter this month dealt with pets. And I do think it's a very age-appropriate topic. Britt has become MUCH more fascinated by animals. I am not too worried about our dogs with her because they learned with Kye that kids aren't too fun to hang out so they pretty much stay away ;) I've also taught both of my kids to be "sweet and gentle" with the pets and never leave them unattended with them. Sure, our dogs are small and are nice family pets...but I know anything can happen and I would never want to risk it!!!
We don't go out much so I don't worry too much about Britt with other people's pets. I feel like in this day and age most people wouldn't let their pets just run up to our kids anyway? None of Zach's family has any pets so that's also not an issue. And our friends who have pets also have multiple kids so their pets are like ours and run for their hiding spots when the kids come around :)
One of my new favorites!!!!
It always makes me proud of my kids to read through these chapters each month. I really do have such amazing children who are so well behaved! We don't have social issues like this chapter discusses (not going to others, being fearful, being overly attached to someone), we don't deal with poor eating habits, we don't deal with Britt putting random objects in her mouth, we don't deal with bath rejection or her being destructive of things! She's really so well behaved and is learning to obey us when we tell her to do or not to do something. I know we are just really entering the hardcore toddler stage and that we will hit some bumps along the way, but so far so good :)
I did laugh out loud as part of this chapter discussed potty training and how training now would be "too young" to train. I do not agree with that AT ALL. I personally believe that the diaper companies are the reason so many kids aren't trained until much older. It's all a marketing scheme to make us spend more money! Hello, they invented pull-ups not so our kids would become trained but so we would rely on the pull-up. They keep making larger and larger sizes of diapers so we'll just keep on buying them!!! I'm def not judging anyone who does wait longer to train their children and I'm 100% a believer that there are signs a child MUST show in order to be ready, but I don't believe that Britt was "too young to train" or that there is even a thing as "too young" If your kid is ready, they are ready! You can read about our potty training experience here :)
You can go back and see Britt's 15 Month Post HERE and Kye's 16 Month Post HERE! I love love love to look back at his old posts. It is such an awesome thing to have all of his life like this and I really encourage any mamas who don't have a blog to START ONE! You don't have to post every day like I do. You don't have to get a bunch of readers or join in on link-ups. You can just simply post memories to have of your children. These days are so precious and I'm thankful to have my blog to always have these memories!!!

I have received compliments and remarks of jealousy from straight-haired friends on my thick natural ringlets for as long as I can remember - but I couldn't disagree more. For years I've woken up morning after morning and spent up to an hour (sometimes longer) trying to tame my bedhead and have gone through regrettable haircut changes (let's just say, from hip-length to ear-length) to control the mischievous mane that is my hair.
I went through stages in my younger teens of spending forty minutes straightening every last kink out, only to step outside or, god forbid, go to bed to have all of my painstaking work reversed.
Now however, at the age of 16 (and 11 months) I have come to an agreement with my hair. If I slather it in miracle conditioners and treatments and creams and spritzes, will it please do what I want it to?
Apparently, if I use Umberto Giannini's FRIZZI range, yes, it will.
I will admit I am a sucker for packaging. If a product comes in a shiny bottle with minimalist font and an arty sketch on the front, I probably own it. But salon-quality hair saviours for around £5 each? How could anyone say no?
Due to a 3 for 2 offer in Boots I decided to try out three of Giannini's FRIZZI products:
Polymers in this conditioner form a film over the hair to smooth frizz and give a glossy shine - it works especially well as a pre-straightening treatment, to reduce frizzy kinks and dryness, or simply to hydrate and smooth your natural curls. This would most probably have an even greater effect on your hair if paired with the Bad Hair Day Smoothing Shampoo (they'd smell even more delicious when together too)
Smooth this cream through towel-dried hair before blow-drying to further lock in moisture and tame flyaways. My hair feels so intensely pampered when I use this; it's definitely a favourite!
I've been using this intense mask once a week as a special treat instead of the conditioner. After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water out of your hair and smooth a scoopful of this creamy mask through your locks. After five or so minutes, comb through and rinse away - the results are heavenly. Not only does it smooth and moisturise, but the special ingredient of argan oil strengthens your hair meaning it can cope a lot easier with heat styling.
It's safe to say, I love this range! After just a couple of weeks I've noticed such a difference in my hair; it stays frizz-free and manageable and I no longer find myself reaching for the straighteners in desperation.
Check out the full range here! (Next on my list is the Transformation Fluid Silicone Serum and 3 Day Extreme Taming Spray with Weather Proof Formula) X

Somehow my kitchen soap dispenser squirted horizontally today, missing my outstretched palm and landing into my too close bowl of soup. So how bad could a small drop of cleaning solution taste? Really bad!…and it immediately saturated my entire meal. I had just returned from a workout and was trying to eat something healthy, (instead of a handful of chocolate chips). I tried a few remedies, but the taste of soapy-soup lingered.
Since I've already had my mouth "washed out with soap" I decided to go ahead and write about a topic on my mind since last Friday, when I viewed the movie "American Sniper."
The film was a terrific portrayal of the life and death responsibilities our military carries each day. Chris Kyle's story was deeply moving. His love for country, and commitment to protecting his men was sobering. He also used the "F" word a LOT!
I understand that serious life calls for serious language. But if I hear it, I have to make an extra cautious effort not to use it. This personal challenge arose Friday, and continued on through last night's SOTU address. As I pondered the gravity of real life and compared that to the pompous idiocy of our current President…I was very close to using that "F" word!
Through Scripture reading and prayer I have successfully made adjustments to my "serious language" dilema. But the taste of the sentiment remains.
Today's soapy-soup residue wasn't overcome until I had a few bites of my daughter's pancakes, smothered in syrup. Finally, something worked to get that "F"lavor out!
