Latest News in 2016:
May: Diva now a Danish Club Champion. May: Double Certificate Show - Diva Best Of Breed. May: Smooth Collies at big "Lifestyle Fair" Rosenholm Castle. April: Sadly no puppies this time. March: Diva has been mated with a lovely English male. February: International DKK Show in Fredericia. January: Clingstone's Ace Of Spades was HD and ED x-rayd with top results. January: Ace 1 year old birthday
Diva achieved her last Club CAC at the last Danish Collie Club show, and she is now besides being a Danish Champion, also a Danish Club Champion. We are so pleased that she managed to obtain this title, before she is hopefully going to become a mother of a gorgeous Smooth Collie litter later this year - now we can add one more Champion title on their pedigrees ☺ Diva has generally had really great results in the Showring and we are very proud about the fact, that during her "career" she has never been shown without achieving "Excellent" - the highest possible grade in quality, according to the Breed Standard. With the double Show in Høng, Diva has now as junior and adult been shown the total of 13 times with following results: 13 x Excellent - 11 x CC - 3 x CAC - 4 x Club CAC - 6 x "Best Of Breed - 1 x "Best Of Opposite Sex
DANISH COLLIE CLUB - 2 x CERTIFICATE SHOWS
On the 29. of May Danish Collie Club's had organized a double Show in Høng - which means 2 Shows the same day, with 2 different foreign judges. Diva and Ace was entered in both shows, and Lolly only in the first one (due to her age). All 3 Smoothies achieved very nice results and we had a fantastic day with lovely weather and it was such a joy to spend it with Vibeke and Spock (a lovely blue merle I helped purchase from Norway a while back) - plus we got a nice visit from one of the hopefully future owners of a "Diva puppy" :-) Diva won "Best Of Breed" in 1. Show and in the 2. Show she won "Best Bitch" and "Best Of Opposite Sex". She also got her last Club Certificate and is now "Danish Club Champion"D Lolly once again achieved "Excellent"+ CC, as well as Best Bitch 2 and got a very lovely critique - fantastic result for a 12 year old girl. For Lolly this was her final show - so it was quite emotional to enter the Showring with her. We had chosen this particularly Show to be her final after a long successful "career", as Lolly was going to be honored in the break - both for her title as "Smooth Collie Of The Year 2015" nr. 2, as well as for becoming "Danish Veteran Club Champion" last year. Diva was also honored for becoming "Smooth Collie Of The Year 2015" nr. 3. Ace got very nice results too, and achieved "Excellent" in both Shows - in the 2. he furthermore was awarded CC, Junior Club Certificate and Res. CAC. We were very pleased with Ace's results, as we are still working on getting more muscle in hindquarters and he also need to "stabilize" more in movements when showing (he is still a bit "loose" with really long teenage legs). So all in all a truly wonderful and successful day - however I have rarely been so stressed on a Showground, 2 Shows in a row, almost without a break and I had to enter the Ring with all 3 of them myself ☺. It was also a great day for the handsome Spock (Perfect Image Batteries Notrequired) he became "Best Of Opposite Sex" in the first Show and in the second he won "Best Of Breed" - now he only needs to achieve 1 more CAC after he turns 2 years of age, then he is "Danish Champion".

On the 7. of May "Danish Collie Club" attended at the big "Lifestyle Fair" held on Rosenholm Castle, as there besides the Fair itself, was arranged "Days with Dogs" (competition, different "shows" with dogs, Breed parade etc). It was such a lovely day and we had the most beautiful weather. The Lifestyle Fair included something for everyone, shops with food, flowers, art, cars etc. Danish Collie Club was invited to do a Breed Parade, so visitors could learn more about the Collies as well as meet them in real life - we were there to represent the Smooth Collie with Diva and Ace. Both of them got lots of attention and so many people approach us to ask questions, as they thought that the variant was stunning and never knew collies could be smooth haired too.
Diva was just scanned and she is sadly not pregnant - so we are really devastated at the moment, despite of the "less good odds" (mentioned in the earlier update) we actually thought the mating had been successful and she was expecting. Diva had so many big changes in both "look", appearance and regarding food. Besides from us personally being pretty "down" as we were looking forward to keep a girl from her and Charlie, we are just as sad for all the puppy buyers who "booked" a puppy. Some of them have been waiting for a very long time - so I felt so sorry for each of them too. Now we just have to "put ourselves a bit together" again - the entire process was a bit of a "roller coaster ride", plus we again have a long waiting ahead and not least every "try" cost lots of money (fee, vet bills in 2 countries, shipment etc). But afterwards it's just a matter of getting "back in the saddle again" and begin the "preparations" for Diva's next "heat", which we expect around October.
We cross our fingers for our precious girl DK Champion Törnskogens Bvlgari Femme "Diva" to have gorgeous Smooth Collie puppies approx. 1. of May. The Sire of this hopefully upcoming litter is UK Champion Foxearth Frappuccino "Charlie" - owned by Bev White, England. We are so grateful to Bev, both for allowing us to use Charlie on Diva, but also because she was so sweet to "stand-by" every morning around the time when Diva might be "ready" - making it possible, within a few hours, to "collect" Charlie and ship chilled semen to us, so we could inseminate Diva already next day. Charlie is a handsome masculine male with a lovely head and "expression". He is very "correct" and well-build with great topline and angulations, as well as superb movements - and just as important is a sweet boy with wonderful temperament. Charlie has all the qualities that I look for in a Sire for our breeding - and is not least out of the bloodlines I so hoped to "combine" with Diva, with the purpose to keep a girl for future breeding - her pedigree will among others fit great with our own young male Ace. More pictures of Charlie can be found on the menu "Puppies".
Unfortunately we ran into problems with the shipment of the "container" - major delays occurred in England, which meant that instead of 1 day, it first arrived in Denmark after 2 days - and when we inseminated Diva, we sadly learned that the semen was of rather poor quality. Such a shame when everything else had gone perfectly, and especially since Charlie manage to "deliver" super quality in both motility and "volume". However Diva still had a perfect progesterone level and luckily we always use Kathrine Kirchhoff - one of the best Reproduction Specialists in Denmark, who made sure that Diva was inseminated through video-endoscope directly into the uterus, so we still hope there is a good chance for her to get pregnant - and otherwise we just have to try again in her next "heat" in October 2016.
On the 14. of February we participated in the International DKK Show in Fredericia. This time we only entered Ace in the Show, as we did not know if Diva might be close to her "season". We had a lovely day, both with the other "Collie people" and with lots of visitors who wished to "talk" to Ace and to learn more about the breed. Ace behaved very well, especially when one have in mind that he is in a true "teenage age" at the moment - he showed nicely in the ring and this time only made one single "Happy Jump" in the last few meters of our "Run"☺
Ace was entered in the Junior Class and our judge this time was: Roger Vanhoenacker, Belgium. A very experienced and for sure also a knowledgeable judge, but also the kind of "type" which I personally think could be a bit more "happy" and "outgoing", one of those judges who almost don't say hello or "talk" to the dogs while he "examined" them (not a problem for me or our dogs - but if you have a slightly nervous dog, it can be a less good experience). Ace did really well on this show and he achieved the highest quality degree "Excellent" and got a very nice critique from the judge too (good head, well proportioned, good strong body & bones, moves well etc). So we are really happy about the result, especially since Ace still needs to improve a bit more regarding his conformation, muscle and strength - due to the injuries he had as a puppy. Which made his "growing up" very different from our past puppies, only allowing limit and "controlled" exercise, and in a period where he was growing a lot - so we still have a bit more "work" ahead of us with a few "things".
Just over the moon with Ace's x-ray results. The "official diagnose" from the Danish Kennel Club (DKK) came back with best possible results :-) HD: A/A and ED: 0/0. It might not seem like a big deal, as Smooths generally have good hips & elbows - and Ace's family has excellent results. But as already mentioned earlier, Ace got seriously injured as a puppy with his front leg and shoulders/back. And due to this had to spend lots of time in a puppy pen, months with only limited exercise etc. So I have actually worried a lot about how his "status" would turn out, when it was time for "official" x-ray's - maybe he from time to time used his body in a wrong way and due to this would get not as good results as we expected from his bloodlines and the Breed. Already when we bought him, I planned to let him go through elbow x-ray too, despite that in Denmark this is not included in the "demands" for Stud dogs from our Kennel Club. But was not sure after his injuries and up-growing, if that was still a good idea - not great to get less good results due to injuries on a future Stud dog. And once you have "ordered" the x-ray at the DKK, there is no turning back - results will be official on pedigree (despite Danish Smooths not having to get their elbow checked). Well I decided to go ahead and do as originally planned and so great that I did :-) Now Ace is finished with everything that DKK requires (even more) for a Smooth Collie to be used for breeding. His final health status is: HD: A/A - ED: 0/0 - Eyes: Clear (incl. ecvo attest) and we also DNA tested him: CEA: non-carrier, DM: N/DM - MDR1: -/-
Our sweet Smooth Collie boy Ace celebrated his 1 year old birthday on the 4. of January. I can believe how fast time has gone by - feel like it was only short time ago he arrived from Finland. Ace is still developing nicely and has become a big and very handsome boy. He looks more and more similar to his daddy World Winner Natalain River Dance "Darsy" - a quite muscular collie, with strong bones, excellent conformation and movements. From his mother Multi Champion Clingstone's Forecasted, Ace inherited the sweet expression, which the Clingstone Smooth's often has. It's still a bit unreal that we manage to get a son from Darsy and I am so grateful that Ace has grown into the male we expected (when choosing him in the litter), hoping that he would look a lot like his daddy - "combined" with some of the superb qualities from his mother too. But I also have to say that Ace's first year has been quite a rollercoaster ride, due to his injury in shoulder and front leg - causing lots of months with "rest" and only limit exercise. A tough time for a small puppy, who had no chance to let all his "energy" loose, and it also meant that Ace could not participate in puppy- & junior obedience class etc. - as well as not being able to play so much with the other dogs. Luckily Ace was already as a tiny baby, very outgoing with a "strong" character - and as we also constantly made sure he had small trips to different places and "attractions" with lots of people, dogs etc. So he still became a lovely, happy and "stabile" teenage boy . His injury of course also meant that we ran into slight problems with keeping muscle on him, and also had a bit of a challenge with making sure to develop his "balance" and strength, especially as he grew so fast with long teenage legs. But I trained and rehabilitated him every single day with lots of small walks, different kinds of exercise and "activity" (so it did not get too boring) and in the "final stage" we had great help from Christian Hembo from Magtor - one of the best Dog Health Centers in Denmark, who made sure that Ace used his legs, shoulders, back etc. in a "correct" way and also treated him to prevent any tensions etc. Now we look very much forward to see what his next year will bring and are so pleased that for the last many months Ace was once again able to live a normal life - with lots of playtime, long walks, we have participated in "Ring-Training" lessons etc. And I look very much forward to take him to several Dog Shows this year.

"Freedom to live and to think about life for its own sake is important and even essential to a child. Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." -John Holt.

The wayang kulit performance was simply the highlight bar none. I have not seen an actual wayang kulit in performance. I was lucky that night, watch it under the moon with my girls and wife.
The whole atmosphere and the story and the talented crew and the Tok Dalang, was amazing. I kinda felt these performers are very passionate about their craft. It was jaw-dropping.

Bank of Sharjah is considering issuing a $500 million conventional bond in 2017 for general corporate purposes, banking sources have told Reuters.
The Abu Dhabi-listed lender gained shareholder approval earlier this year to issue bonds worth up to $1.5 billion.
It issued its first international bond of $500 million in 2015.
The bank chose JP Morgan and National Bank of Abu Dhabi as joint coordinators for the 2015 five-year transaction, with those two lenders and Commerzbank, Emirates NBD Capital and First Gulf Bank acting as bookrunners.
Elsewhere in the Gulf, Bahrain-based Gulf International Bank has asked banks to submit proposals to arrange a potential U.S. dollar-denominated bond issue, Reuters reported on Monday.

After three games this season, the Cerritos College men's soccer team has still not allowed a goal. The Falcons opened the Hartnell Tournament on Friday with a 0-0 draw with the host Panthers. The game went to penalty kicks, with Cerritos coming up on the short end, but the game is still recorded as a draw. They will play their second game in the tournament on Sunday against an opponent to be determined.
Although there were no goals scored in the game, it was not without several offensive outbursts by the Falcons. In the first minute of the game, sophomore Oscar Canela (Paramount HS) saw his shot skim off the crossbar, while freshman Carlos Payeras (Lennox Academy HS) deflected wide by a Hartnell defender before it could make it on net. Right before the end of the first half, sophomore Luis Garcia (La Habra HS) took on two players and got off a powerful shot. But like Canela's attempt, it hit the crossbar.
Freshman goalkeeper Jordan Aldama (North Torrance HS) kept the game scoreless with his great save in the 60th minute and finished the day with four stops. Cerritos out-shot the Panthers, 11-4. The Falcons will also be without sophomore defender Jose Rivera (Torrance HS), who received two yellow cards, which left the team with only 10 players for the final two minutes of the game.

Cape Town Tourism Facts | Self Catering Accommodation Poor
May 10, 2013 Cape Town Holiday Questions
Cape Town Tourism published interesting research on the positive tourism growth for 2012/ 2013 peak Cape Town tourism season.
Here's some interesting Cape Town Tourism facts:
- South Africa's Annual Tourism Statistics 2012 showed 9,188,368 international tourists visited South Africa in 2012; 10.2% more than the 8,339,354 tourists in 2011.
- Between 6 and 8 percent year-on-year growth occurred across most sectors of Cape Town's tourism landscape from December 2012-March 2013.
- The Cape Town – Johannesburg flight route is one of the ten busiest routes in the world.
- Room night demand for December 2012 – March 2013 was stronger than room night demand registered in respect of the same period a year ago. For December 2012 – February 2013 there was an aggregate increase in the number of room nights sold of approximately 6.9 percent. For March 2013, there was an aggregate occupancy rate of approximately 78 percent, compared with 72 percent in March 2012.
- All accommodation types, with the exception of self-catering, registered positive growth in room night demand. B&Bs registered the highest growth rate, followed by hotels.
- All geographic locations, except the Helderberg region, registered positive growth in room night demand. The Northern Suburbs, City Centre and Southern Peninsula registered the biggest increases in room night demand, in that order.
- International guests grabs most of the pie: From December 2012-February 2013 approximately 51.4 percent of all room nights were sold to international guests, followed by 42.2 percent by domestic guests and 6.4 percent for regional guests. But then the trend changes: By March 2013, domestic tourism accounted for 47 percent of room nights, with regional source markets accounting for a further 7 percent of room nights sold during the month. Only 46 percent of room nights for March 2013 were sold to the international market.
- In March 2013, the V&A Waterfront saw 2 169 748 feet through their doors – an increase of 11.9 percent on the same period last year.
- Cape Point Nature Reserve saw 91 096 visitors in March 2013, which is an increase of 23.9 percent on the same period last year
- Table Mountain Aerial Cableway saw 82 805 visitors, a 6 percent increase on March last year.
- Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden saw 71 033 visitors, which is an increase of 13.7 percent on March 2012.
- Robben Island saw 32 112 visitors in March 2013 – a drop of 8.6 percent on March 2012.
- A general decrease in total airports arrivals figures from December 2012 – March 2013, ranging from 3 – 6 percent. This suggests visitors are making use of alternative transport and hiring cars to get to Cape Town.
End of Cape Town Tourism Update.
Related Tourism News: I see the busloads of Chinese are swarming around in Cape Town. Busloads means they go where many people can go. They avoid small restaurants or intimate wine farms and guest houses. How can you adapt to cater for the Chinese? Read more here on the Chinese invasion.
It's a concern that Cape Town self catering accommodation did show any growth for the period. I believe this can only improve. And improve if Cape Town accommodation owners become more (1) flexible in their rates, more flexible in their (2) minimum night policies, (3) adopt technology to improve online bookings and include some form of (4) third party verification – testimonials or reviews.
In a future blog post I will discuss the four issues in more detail. We have many hundreds of Cape Town self catering accommodation listed. And we have an external and unbiased view on which accommodation is easy to rent out and which not. You are welcome to tell me what you think of these facts. If you have any idea how self catering accommodation can improve their act then leave a comment.

Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park - Riverside
Sycamore Canyon is comprised of 1500 acres of protected wildlife reserves, with approximately 25 miles of trails within its confines. There are three main entrances to enter the park, so you can create your own loops and customize to your skill set, depending where you enter. We like the Central entrance so we can start with some climbing and begin a descent towards the Water pipe trail marker.
Santa Rosa Plateau Loop - Murrieta
The Santa Rosa Plateau is located in the Southern section of the Santa Ana Mountains, and is one of the best short routes out there. Consisting of 9000 acres, the Reserve protects unique ecosystems such as Engelmann oak woodlands, riparian wetlands, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, bunchgrass prairie, and vernal pools as well as more than 200 species of native birds and 49 endangered, threatened or rare animal and plant species, including mule deer, mountain lions, badgers, bobcats, western pond turtles, white-tailed kites and fairy shrimp. Of the two species of fairy shrimp that live in the seasonal vernal pools on the Reserve, one is found only here and nowhere else on Earth! It is one of the best maintained parks and offers incredible hiking as well. The route we provided is accessible to equestrians, mountain bikers and hikers, with the other portion of the reserve open only to hikers. Make sure to pick up a map from the visitor center so you can go back and hike it as well. It is well worth it!

The definitions below are for features
found on the outside of a building.
Party Structures Defined - Party Wall Act Etc. 1996
structure which both parties enjoy the use of or benefit from. An
example of this would be where both parties gain support from a
wall or utilise a chimney or chimneys.
Any work to party structures, such as party walls or party
chimney stacks, require agreement under the Party Wall Act. We
would be more than happy to offer you help and advice in this
Tile on Edge Defined
A tile sitting sideways,
bedded in cement mortar which has been utilised as a flashing. Due to the cement mortar it is bedded
in being brittle and prone to cracking, this is not an ideal material. We
would always recommend the use of lead flashings.
Flaunchings Defined
A low, wide cement mortar fillet surrounding the flue terminal
on top of the chimney stack to throw off rainwater.
Flashings Defined
Flashings prevent dampness from
entering the property, usually at junctions where materials change. Such
a junction is the one between the chimney and the roof.
Spalling Defined
Spalling occurs to brick or stone
when water penetrates the surface and via freezing and thawing
starts to cause deterioration to the surface. This in turn allows
further water penetration and the surface breaks up further. This
ultimately can lead to water damage or structural damage to the
Re-Pointing Defined
Re-pointing is carried out
where the existing mortar has failed and broken away to stop damp
penetration and further deterioration. The
mortar should be raked out to approximately 20mm and then replaced
with a mortar of a similar type, therefore, stopping damp occurring.
Capping Defined
Capping is a practice used when
chimneys are no longer in use to prevent moisture from entering
the structure in the form of rainwater via the chimney. This usually involves the closing
of the chimney with a tile or slab positioned across. It
should include vents to allow air circulation.
Parapet Walls Defined
These walls are usually
above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. Due
to their position they are relatively exposed and suffer from deterioration
due to the elements.
Blinding Defined
This is where a mortar is used to bed the slate or tile.
Polycarbonate Defined
Transparent, extremely tough
plastic sheet, used for security glazing. It may also be an insulating light panel, double
walled or triple walled, or 10 or 16mm thick. It is not
a fire hazard as it has low ignitability and low flame spread,
and releases little heat and little smoke if burnt. It can
be coated to resist damage from ultraviolet.
Flashband Defined
Flashband is a sticky backed felt which is best used for temporary
repairs only.
Proprietary Flashings Defined
These are typically
supplied by the manufacturer of the roof covering and will be specially
made to fit the profile of the roof covering. Typically
they are aluminium.
Cement Fillets/Cement Flashings
This is where cement has been used to cover up or fill the junctions
between two areas, for example between a roof and a wall to help
prevent dampness. Cement is a brittle material and prone to cracking
which in turn allows dampness into the structure. We would always
recommend they are replaced with lead.
Torching Defined
Usually lime mortar dabs (but
can be moss) which the slates sit upon. These are used to
reduce the wind traveling through the building therefore reducing
the risk of wind damage.
Nail Sickness Defined
The weakening of the fixing
nails to slates or tiles due to the nails which fix them to the
battens rusting. This is normally
attributed to problems with slate roofs.
Lead Tingles or Lead Slaps Defined
These are strips of lead usually about 25mm wide which are used
to secure slates where they have slipped.
Turnerising Defined
"Turnerising" is a process used usually when roofs have started
to deteriorate or leak and it involves the covering of a roof with
a mesh and coating in bitumen. It is almost impossible to
economically save or re-use materials which have been treated in
this manner.
Nibbed Clay Tiles Defined
A nibbed tile is one which has raised areas known as nibs, usually
two in number, at the top of the tile to enable the tile to be
fixed to the roof batten which, in turn, fixes to the roof structure.
Delamination Defined
This occurs in sedimentary
and metamorphic rocks such as slate which are built up of layers. It
simply refers to the layers breaking down.
Sarking Felt/Underfelt Defined
This is the felt
that sits between the roof covering and the timber battens and
forms an additional protective layer to stop the wind lifting the
roof and to stop the elements from penetrating the structure. This
was first used in the late 1940's/early 1950's and is a requirement
for current Building Regulations.
Close Boarding Defined
These are timbers positioned
on the common rafters which are butt jointed together. They
add to the wind resistance and water-tightness of the roof together
with the overall structural integrity of the roof. Usually this
type of roof does not have an underfelt, this can lead to problems
if the roof is not cross-battened as wet rot will occur to the
underside of the timbers. This is very difficult to identify.
Feather Edge Boarding Defined
These are timbers positioned on the common rafters which form
the slope of the roof. These timbers are butted together but they
are cut at an angle, or feather edged, to give a lip for the nibs
of the tiles to sit upon.
Fire Walls Defined
Fire walls help prevent the spread of fire through roofs and are
a relatively recent Building Regulation requirement .
Purlins Defined
The purlin is the horizontal timber member usually running from
gable end to gable end and parallel with the walls which supports
the jack or common rafters (the angled rafters forming the slope
to the roof).
Ridge Board Defined
The ridge board forms the
apex of the roof and usually denotes that the roof was constructed
on site and joins the jack rafters or common rafters together. These
are the rafters that form the slope to the pitch of the roof.
Common Rafters Defined
The rafters form the slope to which the battens are secured and
in turn the roof covering is also secured too.
Couple Roof Defined
A traditional pitched roof with rafters and no tie beam, used
for short spans up to 3m, assuming standard joist centres.
Close-Couple Roof Defined
This is a traditional framed roof with common rafters joined at
the wall-plate level with a tie beam, also used for ceiling joists,
used for spans up to about four metres, assuming standard joist
King Post Truss Defined
A traditional timber roof truss with a vertical post from the
apex to the centre of the bottom tie beam, suitable for spans up
to about 11m, but like the queen-post truss not now used for new
work in Britain.
Prefabricated Truss Defined
This is a roof truss
made in a factory using gang nails at the joints, it is then transported
to the site and normally lifted into place. This type of
construction has been used for about the past 30 to 40 years.
Wall Plates Defined
Wall plates are the horizontal
members normally timber, although they sometimes can be metal RSJ's,
fixed to the top of the wall within the roof space. They
hold the common rafters from the roof in place but can be susceptible
to dampness.
Wind Bracing Defined
These are timbers fixed across the roof structure to stop movement
when it is windy.
Surcharging Defined
This term is usually used in relation to valley gutters and is
where there is too much rain for the valley gutter to cope with.
Cornice Defined
This is the top course of bricks where the house meets the roof.
Efflorescence Defined
This is where salts appear
on the surface of the brickwork in a white dust or crystal formation
Lime Mortar Defined
mix used to bed bricks upon;
its characteristics being that it flexes and moves with the structure. It
was used up to the War years.
Cement Mortar Defined
sand cement mix used commonly in brick houses from about the
First World War onwards and is relatively strong and brittle and
therefore does not allow much movement.
Re-Pointing Defined
Re-pointing is carried out where the existing
mortar has failed and broken away to stop damp penetration and
further deterioration. The
mortar should be raked out to approximately 20mm and then replaced
with a mortar of a similar type, therefore, stopping damp occurring.
Engineering Brick Defined
A clay brick of high
compressive strength and low absorption, eg Staffordshire blue
bricks and some reds. Class A bricks
are stronger than 70 N/mm² and have an absorption below 4.5%. Class
B have a 50 N/mm² compressive strength and maximum 7% water
Fletton Brick Defined
A low cost pale red brick made from Oxford
clay with traces of coal that burn during firing, saving energy. It
is pressed like many clay bricks and can be sand faced, pigmented,
or textured for use as facings.
Bonding Timbers Defined
These are timbers used in construction of walls usually using
a lime mortar construction. Bonding timbers are used horizontally
and add strength to the wall enabling additional lifts of brickwork.
Render Defined
A sand and cement external coating applied in two or three coats
or layers.
Bell-Mouths Defined
A bell-mouth is a curve at the base of a wall which throws the
water away from the structure therefore preventing dampness.
Pier Defined
This can be the load bearing brickwork in a wall between openings,
or a short buttress on one or both sides of a wall, bonded to it
for stability.
Cavity Wall Ties Defined
A fastener across a
cavity wall to hold the two leaves together. Usually
made of stainless or galvanised steel wire or strip, sometimes
plastic, and has a twist or bend near the middle to form a drip
so that water cannot pass. Wall ties are built into the
brickwork bed joints as work proceeds and may have a large plastics
washer to hold cavity insulation in place.
Recessed Joint Defined
A mortar joint set back
about 6mm from the face of the wall, either a raked-out joint or
one made by tooling. It is used for
brickwork, and for stonework to prevent flushing, and is strongly
London Clay in General
This property stands on
London Clay as with the majority of properties in London. It is therefore more susceptible than most should
drains leak or trees be allowed to overgrow etc. It is not
unusual to have some settlement in London properties and from our
inspection of the walls we have found nothing unusual.
Influencing Distance Defined
This is the distance in which a tree may be able to cause damage
to the subject property.
Over Lights Defined
This is a window above the
door allowing light into the hallway area.
Secondary Glazing Defined
This is where a secondary
window has been added, usually to prevent draughts. We would
also draw to your attention that these type of windows can be restrictive
in the case of the emergency when, for example, a fire has occurred
in the property.
Trickle Vents Defined
Small vents to the windows to allow air movement inside the property
to stop a build up of fumes or humidity.

Meikarta is a grand 500-hectare skill growth project, designed to have 100 hectares of open immature space, 250,000 units of primary residential property, and 1,500,000 m2 of primary blurb space located about 34 kilometers to a easterly of Indonesia's collateral city of Jakarta.
However, after receiving a compulsory permits from a internal district head, a plan was behind by West Java Deputy Governor Deddy Mizwar. Mizwar pronounced a developers of Meikarta are nonetheless to obtain a recommendation from a informal West Java government, while he also pronounced a developers need to control some-more investigate into a impact of a skill growth plan on internal communities that live in a area.
Meanwhile, a month ago a Lippo Group pronounced land merger usually stood during 16.8 percent of sum land that is compulsory to rise a desirous Meikarta municipality project.
Read more: Infrastructure Land Acquisition Turmoil in Indonesia
Still, notwithstanding a singular volume of land underneath control and critique from a West Java government, a Lippo Group continued to aggressively foster a Meikarta plan in Indonesian media as good as on several vital locations in Jakarta. In fact, a organisation claims that pre-sales of unit units has already reached 130,000 per Aug 2017, an considerable number.
Therefore National Ombudsman Commissioner Alamsyah Saragih final week urged Indonesian consumers not to buy skill during Meikarta since a developers have not nonetheless performed all permits and have not acquired all land in a Meikarta area. Saragih also suggested a Lippo Group to stop a selling activities associated to Meikarta.
However, formed on a new statements of Indonesia's Home Affairs Minister Kumolo, a Indonesian supervision seems to behind a Meikarta plan and considers it a plan that is directly concerned in a growth of a West Java region. Kumolo says a Meikarta plan does not need any permits from a (provincial) West Java government. Instead, it requires permits from a internal district (which it already obtained).
The Indonesian supervision entirely supports a appearance of private companies in a growth of Indonesia. In fact, a supervision is contingent on private impasse since a supervision itself has singular financial resources accessible for infrastructure growth and construction projects. Therefore, Kumolo is unfortunate saying a provincial supervision restraint a large municipality plan that is entirely financed by a private zone and does not mangle existent regulations. Meanwhile, he combined that a provincial, district and city governments should all be in sync when it comes to chartering and regulations.
It is not a initial time that large growth projects confront difficulty in Indonesia. The authorised horizon in this immature democracy (that incited into a highway of decentralization in a late 1990s and early 2000s) mostly seems not prepared to promote a large plan and therefore there can exist a high grade of ambiguity and authorised doubt as a executive government, provincial government, as good as district and city governments all have opposite views and regulations.
Read more: Reformation, Democratization and Decentralization in Indonesia
For example, a predestine of a Giant Sea Wall plan (also famous as a Great Garuda) in a brook north of Jakarta stays unknown. This outrageous project, denounced in 2014, involves a lifting and strengthening of a existent onshore dike of a Jakarta bay, as good as a construction of a 15-mile outdoor sea wall and a growth of skill on synthetic islands (land reclamation). Indonesian President Joko Widodo dangling a plan in mid-2016 due to purported violations of and/or hiatuses in Indonesian law. Not surprising for Indonesia, there also emerged a crime liaison after a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested Agung Podomoro Land's President Director Ariesman Widjaja. Widjaja was condemned to 3 years in jail after being found guilty of bribing Muhammad Sanusi, a authority of a Jakarta provincial assembly, for support associated to a Pluit City plan (one of a synthetic islands within a Giant Sea Wall project).

NASCAR safety tecnology lends helping hand at Ft. Worth Stock Show & Rodeo
FORT WORTH, Texas (January 30, 2018) - NASCAR and the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo may vary greatly in their definition of horsepower, but they are one in the same when it comes to the safety of their competitors.
In the late 1990s, NASCAR worked with a team of engineers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on a revolutionary concept called the Steel And Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) Barrier that would absorb kinetic energy when a race car made contact with the wall and help prevent more serious injuries to the drivers. Commonly referred to as a "soft wall," the barrier consists of sections of steel tubing backed by foam blocks that are installed 30 inches in front of a speedway's traditional cement walls. The concept debuted at Indianapolis Speedway in 2002 and today the SAFER Barrier is a safety standard at every NASCAR oval, including Texas Motor Speedway.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo entered 2018 with the objective of enhancing the safety of its competitors - both rodeo athletes and livestock - participating in the event at the Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum. Any time athletes - human or animal - are engaged in high-level competition there is a risk of injury, but two horse fatalities during a single Stock Show was truly an extraordinary occurrence last year. The Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association recently conducted a survey of animal injuries and concluded that the rate of injury to rodeo livestock in the survey was fewer than five hundreds of one percent.
"NASCAR's reputation for driver safety gave me the confidence that our quest for an improved wall for rodeo competition was starting in the right place," Barnes said. "Eddie's referral was invaluable in helping us accomplish this important objective."
The University of Nebraska Midwest Roadside Safety Facility was among the organizations Barnes consulted with to gain valuable input from several experts in the fields of physics; animal behavior; and livestock and rodeo facility design and construction for a flex-wall system. The others were Athletica Sports Systems, the dasher board rink equipment supplier to the National Hockey League; Priefert Manufacturing; EZ Flex Sports Mats, a gymnastic floor mat product developer; and the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Services & Biomedical Sciences.
Consultation with researchers and experts commenced in January 2017 to improve the arena wall at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum originally constructed in 1936. Prototypes of the arena wall system were created and analyzed during the course of nine months. A final design was approved in September and construction of the system began immediately thereafter.
The flex-wall system was installed in the Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum in early January prior to the start of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The innovative system incorporates design concepts used at NASCAR race tracks such as Texas Motor Speedway, ice hockey rink "dasher board" wall systems and matting materials adopted by Olympic caliber gymnastic competition facilities.

Unlike many RPGs, hammer isn't a tank weapon in PG, it is a burst dmg/high power consumption weapon. You'd probably be better off going Staff/Priest to emulate the archetype you are after.

Unlike many RPGs, hammer isn't a tank weapon in PG, it is a burst dmg/high power consumption weapon. You'd probably be better off going Staff/Priest to emulate the archetype you are after.

Breaking your leg can be painful and stressful in its own right, keeping you off your feet for 6 to 8 weeks or longer.
What can be more stressful is if breaking your leg interrupts your usual workout routine making you feel sluggish and uncomfortable. Or worse yet if breaking your leg has interrupted your weight loss program, delaying results you had planned on.
Perhaps it's as simple as losing a few pounds before swim season, or maybe you were hoping to make a splash at your high school or college reunion. Maybe you just want that old suit to fit the way it used to.
Don't fret, all is not lost!
There are a few simple steps that can help you with how to lose weight with a broken leg while maintaining health and safety measures…
Looking to lose weight the quick and healthy way? Check out the Breakthrough Fat Diminisher Principles HERE
Step 1: Talk to Your Doctor
Express your concerns and your doctor can help determine healthy and safe measures you can take to begin or continue your weight loss program.
Step 2: Eat Healthy
Maintain a well-balanced diet with properly portioned fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean meats.
Step 3: Speed up Your Metabolism
Eating several small meals throughout the day, say five small meals as opposed to three large meals, has been shown to raise your metabolism.
This can also help you cut down on the amount of downtime between meals and decrease your urges to snack on unhealthy items that can through your diet off balance.
Step 4: Watch Your Calorie Intake
Avoid high sugar products including sports drinks and alcohol in your liquid diet. Stick to plenty of water, low-fat milk, and low calorie juices.
For your solid diet, consider reducing your daily calorie intake. The average calorie count suggested to maintain weight without exercise is between 1,800 and 2,000.
The National Institutes of Health state women should eat a minimum of 1,200 calories per day to remain healthy. Men require a slightly higher intake of at least 1,500 calories per day.
Step 5: Continue Your Upper Body Workout Routine
Just because your leg is broken does not mean the rest of you is out of commission as well. While you are unable to put weight on your broken leg, continue or start an upper body routine.
Elevate your broken leg, and use free weights. Perform up-lifts (raising the weight above your head), bicep and tricep curls while sitting in a chair.
Perform crunches, side twists, and sit-ups sitting on the floor to strengthen your core and slim your abs. Complete 10 repetitions per exercise, two or three times per week.
Step 6: Get Moving
While you are still in the cast and on crutches, tend to yourself. Instead of asking someone to get your drink from the kitchen, get up on the crutches and do so yourself.
Go for a walk on your crutches, outdoors if possible, in an open space such as a mall or shopping center if not. This exercise is an effective form of cardiovascular workout, and the fresh air and movement will keep your from feeling bound to the couch.
When your doctor says it is safe to do so, begin some light resistance training on your leg. The Sports Injury Clinic states that one of the first exercises you should start after a broken leg is ankle rotations to increase mobility.
Sit with leg extended, bend your foot as far forward as possible, hold for five seconds. Bend backward, and once to each side, then repeat for 10 times total.
The Summit Medical Group suggests another similar exercise which calls for sitting with your leg extended, knee straight, loop a towel around the ball of your foot, and pull lightly towards your body.You should feel a stretch in your calf, hold for 15 seconds, release, and repeat for 10 times total.
Both of these exercises will help to reduce the likely hood of your leg going into atrophy, and allow you to return to your regular workout routine more swiftly.
Losing Weight With a Broken Leg
These 6 simple steps that should help you with how to lose weight with a broken leg without disrupting the natural healing process.
Always remember to consider health and safety before all else, and consult your doctor concerning your specific limitations and capabilities so as not to disrupt the natural healing process.
Best of luck to you in your continued weight loss routine, and of course with the healing of your leg.

Formed in Limerick, Ireland, and now based in London, guitar pop trio whenyoung look all set to become the next big thing in British indie. Endorsed by everyone from The Maccabees to Nick Cave, they've toured with the likes of Peace and Declan McKenna and this week unveiled 'Heaven On Earth', a new single that demands to be played on repeat; their rough-cut songs gloss up hidden complexities with happy-go-lucky exteriors. With a debut EP slated for release at the end of summer, theirs is a name you should get to know right now.
whenyoung are one of our new music tips for Latitude Festival 2018.
Buy the fanzine here!
I saw you last year supporting Superfood, and now you're on tour with their mates Peace. How did you end up in that circle of bands?
Aoife: We knew Dom [Boyce, Peace] from just hanging out in East London. We met him at Baxter Dury at the 100 Club and we were like "put us on your tour, please!" and he actually did!
Niall: And actually, Declan McKenna was with him. Everyone knows each other in London, it's weird.
The band clock my So Young Magazine t-shirt…
Aoife: We did one of their shows and a guy with a machete attacked the venue.
Niall: After we'd finished, me and Andrew were sitting out for a drink when there was sudden chaos in the venue. This guy was smashing the windows with a machete. He was after the singer from [south coast post-punk band] Hotel Lux because he took the piss out of his football shirt or something. Either the guy had it on him or he went home, got a machete, and I'm not exaggerating, it was that size [holding his hands around a foot apart]. Somehow no one got injured because the venue was so packed; it was insane. That's So Young.
Take us back to in time. How did whenyoung come to exist?
Aoife: Andrew and Niall started playing together for fun in London, and when I came over there was a bass in our house because the guy we lived with played and I brought it to the studio. Like a week later Niall was like "we've got a gig in Camden" and I was like "oh my god, are you joking?" After that we continued to play all the time, as many gigs as we could.
How did that first show go?
Niall: I liked it. But it was probably awful. Aoife didn't know how to play the bass. It was like the Sex Pistols or something.
How come you came over to London from Ireland?
Niall: Having gone from Limerick to Dublin, it was the next logical step. I think we all always wanted to come to London anyway, always searching for something bigger. Aoife said last week she wouldn't mind going to New York and that's always been in my head as well.
Andrew: There's so much music in London. You read about your favourite bands and they're all based there. There's so many stories. And we came over and it was shit. No! We love it.
What did you do before you were full time musicians?
Aoife: Niall worked in a bookshop, I worked as a gardener and Andrew worked in a restaurant.
Andrew: We could all get favours from each other. Niall could get us some books, I could give a few meals every now and again. Aoife always got the fresh-cut flowers.
Did you play before you moved over?
Andrew: Loosely, kind of. I always played a bit of drums, Niall played a bit of guitar.
Aoife: We met each other through music, like we all went to the same gigs and indie discos.
You guys have worked with Felix White from The Maccabees, and you were big fans of theirs, right?
Aoife: Massively. Felix came to one of our shows and asked us to play a Yala! night at Bermondsey Social Club. And then we put out 'Pretty Pure' and 'The Collector' with them.
Niall: It was such a big thing for us, because Yala! is a really cool, new label but beyond that we were huge Maccabees fans. We all love them so much, since the first album. So it was really exciting to get to know them as people.
Tell me about meeting Bono.
Aoife: We were lucky enough to be asked to play at Shane MacGowan's 60th birthday party in Dublin, and backstage was filled with all these A-listers. And I got talking to Bono. The whole time I was thinking "I have to get a picture", and so I asked him. And he said "let's do something interesting, why don't you pretend to punch me?" and that most people would want to. I just thought wow, that's so self deprecating and pretty sad actually, because he's written a lot of amazing songs and U2 have done so much for a band from Ireland, especially in the feckin' 80s when they came out. He just seemed really nice, and when you hear such negative press about someone like that it's really lovely to know that they have a human side.
Niall: It was mad. Unfortunately the night before I was still in London but these guys were in Dublin and they went for dinner with Bobby Gillespie, Nick Cave, Glen Matlock, Carl Barât… I was just in London watching all these Instagram stories.
Andrew: Everyone was super lovely. Because of the event they were all just super interested in what everyone else was up to. Which was weird, you know, speaking to Nick Cave and him being really humble and normal.
Aoife: I'm sure they're always like that, but you expect them to be different. Because it wasn't their thing, no one really seemed to have an ego, they were all quite nervous and in the same boat, I was obviously way down the line, no one knew who the hell I was. But they were all really supportive and wanting to do the best job of one of Shane's songs.
Festival season is upon us. Who would be your dream festie headliners, dead or alive?
Aoife: Television, Blondie, Patti Smith.
You're playing with Patti Smith soon aren't you?
Aoife: Yeah, in Dublin. We can't believe it.
Andrew: Patti Smith is our collective number one. Even at the beginning our set we have a spoken word loop from one of her songs. So we're kind of thinking, maybe we can get her to come out and do it live!
Niall: This time last year we would not be saying that Aoife had punched Bono, so… you never know.
Heaven On Earth is out now.

In most cosmetic dentistry practices, good health and sound oral function are their primary goals. But these days, both can be achieved with a third factor in mind, good looks.
Good looks are all around us. In consumer magazines, TV, media, politics, and business. Both men and women are flashing bright, near perfect smiles. It's a pleasure to see. We're not all born that way, and they probably weren't either. Dental makeovers have contributed to a large part of the self-esteem of models, movie stars, and recently, the grocery clerk or the grandmother next door, who seek cosmetic dental care.
Surprisingly, most tooth restoration procedures are fairly conservative. That is, removal of healthy enamel is kept to a minimum, or dispensed with altogether. Teeth bleaching, tooth bonding and contouring are quick, easy, and fairly inexpensive. Porcelain veneers lend new form and youthfulness to front teeth. Tooth-colored fillings can replace discolored amalgams. A new denture can restore a more youthful appearance. The choices are yours.
Notice the people you know who are proud of their teeth. They smile more often. Great teeth build self-confidence. Most people respond more readily to an attractive smile in a very positive way. The psychology is simple, the impact great.
We are lucky to have new materials and techniques that make a beautiful smile within everyone's reach. Take advantage of cosmetic dentistry, for yourself and the people around you.
Give your cosmetic dentist a call today to find out how your smile can benefit from today's technical innovations.
Maybe the reason we find an eight-year-old's gapped teeth smile so adorable is...we know it's not permanent. Soon the grown-up teeth will be poking through, clean and new. All part of the mouth's natural evolution.
It's not often that nature gives us a second chance, but when it comes to teeth it does just that. For many children it can be a wake-up call to start taking dental hygiene seriously. As the old saying goes, "God gives you two sets of teeth, but you have to buy the third."
It may be time though to change that outdated piece of wisdom to: "Teeth are like friends...ignore them and their needs and they'll go away. Be kind to them and they'll stick with you forever."
That's why regular hygiene appointments and a gum disease examination are so important. Barring injury, there's simply no reason why most of us should be missing teeth as we grow older. Call it a "10,000 smile checkup," insuring all your parts are in good working order.
Once your cosmetic dentist knows that your teeth are healthy and the gums are sound, he or she can do a little restorative dentistry to evolve your smile to an even higher level. Things like dental bonding to close the gaps…or invisible dental crowns or veneers for front teeth…even teeth bleaching for a truly dazzling and beautiful smile.
Give your cosmetic dentistry professional a call. He or she can help you see to it that your mouth does the job it was intended to for a lifetime. And look drop-dead sensational at the same time!

Yemen, The Socotra Archipelago
The Socotra Islands are the jewels of Yemen and the whole Arabian region. It is indeed a place of botanical and zoological treasures nurtured by many generations of the islanders, the keepers of the unique cultural traditions of Yemen. For centuries, the Socotra Islands have been out of early explorers' and naturalists' attention. But by the end of 90-s they became a center of attraction never seen before especially from those who are interested in their economic development and natural environment preservation.
Dating back to prehistoric times the unique nature of Socotra attracts not only scientists and specialists, but also enthusiasts of eco-tourism.
Socotra island is one of few places in the world where people live in harmony with nature, so rarely found in our modernized world.
Tourism on Socotra is still developing. We arrange tours on Socotra Archipelago in cooperation with the local socotrian guides having many years' experience with tourists from various countries. They are highly professional and can show you the most attractive places of the island, tell about its nature, language and culture, as well as organize diving, trekking or other special programs.
Try the real taste of Socotra with "Socotra Tamam" travel & tourism agency!

(Back in around 2007 or so.)
I was attacked by twin baby white bulldogs and twin black toddlers!!!
How so?
On my way to the food market I used to pass through an empty lot.
There was a mongrel dog in the slum house adjacent to the empty lot
That dog always barked at me. This time I'll told the dog to stop. He did!
The owner came out and got mad at me for being able to command his dog to shut-up.
That is when I passed out (put under).
When I awoke I was laying on the ground.
I saw twin small white bulldogs licking blood off of my face.
I also saw twin black toddlers in front of me, one with a glass beer bottle in his hand.
He struck me in the head with it.
I finally started to come to and get up.
All four twins starting running away from me.
Called 911 and reported the incident.
In the ER at the local trauma center, that was the Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital (POH), in Pontiac MI, a couple interesting things happened.
1) I got a call from my ex-girlfriend.
2) Two guys in dark suits (NOT twins) came in and stared at me and my head wound, then they left.
For the next month, at the Chrysler HQ cafeteria where I was working, they were playing a lot of Jackson 5 material over the speaker system.

Ocean Way Audio Unveils Two New Near-Field Monitors
— Company introduces its first two near-field monitors based on its award-winning designs —
Ocean Way Audio (OWA), a leading manufacturer of high-bandwidth reference monitors for the professional audio and audiophile market sectors, unveiled two new near-field monitors at the AES 139th International Convention in New York (Javits Center) – the HR4 and the Pro2A.
Based on the legendary sonic performance of the Ocean Way HR2 speaker, the HR4 is a two-way, self-powered monitor that is at home on a consoles meter bridge or free-standing speaker stands. "We've captured the sonic performance of our large horn-based wave guide design, which delivers 100 degree dispersion, and have released this unique speaker in a 24-inch mixing-board-friendly design!" states Allen Sides, OWA Founder and CEO.
Company President Rick Plushner remarks, "The HR4 is our entrée into the near-field market. Producing a portable speaker that meets Allen's standards was a challenge. Cliff Henricksen, our Director of New Technology, translated Allen's love of high-impact, stunning sound into a design that's affordable to the majority of recording community. Its performance and appearance is so unique that it's likely to receive large crowds at the show."
The HR4 reproduces a frequency range of 45Hz to over 20kHz with an SPL of 115db; therefore, no sub-woofer is required. However, for those who want to play their mix exceptionally loud, the company offers a companion self-powered sub, the S12A, which pushes levels beyond 118db and frequency response down to 30Hz."
Plushner continues, "Extending our range of near-field powered monitors, we are also releasing the Pro2A. This speaker has been adapted from the award-winning hi-fi designs of Bruce Marien, Director of Engineering, re-focused for the studio mixing environment. This 2-way speaker also meets Allen's standards of excellence and offers a unique trapezoid design, reproducing frequencies from 38Hz to 22kHz delivering an SPL of 110db. Pro2A is designed to offer unparalleled performance at a very affordable price."
About Ocean Way Recording and Allen Sides
Allen Sides, the GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer, producer and mixer who founded Ocean Way Recording, developed these renowned speaker systems. His studios and his Ocean Way Monitoring Systems have since helped artists like The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Radiohead, to name a few, create milestone music recordings.
