Since the UK voted to leave the EU (Brexit), the pound has weakened significantly against the Euro dropping by around 20%, meaning the cost of exchanging money and subsequently buying from Europe has significantly increased.
Last week we came across the story of BBC journalist Susan Bookbinder who was left too scared to leave her own home after a dispute with a builder turned nasty. Unfortunately, Susan's incident isn't isolated, as there seems to be a rising number of 'cowboy builders' operating in the UK who will perform poor-quality work at an over-inflated price, leaving the consumer severely out of pocket along with a highly dissatisfactory end result.
With more and more people turning to online reviews in order to make a judgement about how to spend their money, it's recently come to our attention that some companies are paying for 'fake reviews' in order to attract potential customers. Whilst reviews can give a good indication of a company's services and products, please consider that not every review online gives an accurate representation of the firm.

It has come to our attention recently that several companies are claiming to offer an 'Outdoor Living Pod'. Whilst they may now be importing and offering a (inferior) louvered roof system given the surge in demand for flexible outdoor shade/shelter solutions that allow all year round use of the garden (without spoiling the alfresco feel), they do not offer the Outdoor Living PodTM, which is the name & trademark of our louvered roof pergola canopy – the first, the original and still the best (by far!).
Author: SD | Tags: Industry, Outdoor Living Pod
Currently there is a draft proposal for changes to the current standard, which were last updated in 2008. The key proposed modifications to the previous edition are:
It's virtually a month since we exhibited at Grand Designs Live in London and what a busy month it has been, not only was it the tenth anniversary of Grand Designs it was for us the biggest and best show yet, with show orders and enquiry volumes at an all time high.
"Given the increase in sales of more 'all weather awnings', so structures like our Outdoor Living Pod, with a fixed frame and an opening roof that are more suited to the ever changing weather we experience here in the UK which can sometimes be four seasons in a day (sun,wind,rain,snow) over the next few years we will see fewer but larger retailers of 'fixed frame type awnings' who are specialising in this type of product, particularly given that such products require typically a 3 person install crew, specialist equipment/skill and large vehicles.
"With people staying at home and improving (investing in their properties subsequently raising its value) rather than moving along with the desire to make the most of the available outdoor space whatever the weather without spoiling the alfresco feel, the popularity of fixed frame awnings with opening/closing roofs and drop down sides like our Outdoor Living Pod system, that can withstand as much wind, rain and even snow the British weather can throw at them, has increased significantly with consumers happy to invest more money in these types of solutions to enhance their life, creating a Holiday at Home terrace, rather than traditional retractable folding arm awnings that can only be used for sun and occasional light rain shower protection."
"Innovation is key. We work closely with leading European partners who are specialists in their individual fields to source, design and develop exterior shading solutions specifically for the UK market taking into account 3 key criteria; climatic conditions, building stock and their function/performance. This ensures that our products are suited to the UK weather conditions (so will stand the test of time), able to attach to our typical building construction aswell as look good against it and most importantly deliver the benefits they are being purchased for, whether it be energy saving, comfort or lifestyle".
"It was Gucci that said 'Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten' and there isn't any better way to sum up the Caribbean brand. From the quality of our products to the quality of our service, it's simply superior in every way. We never rest on our laurels, continuing to evolve and innovate, designing, manufacturing, supplying and installing the very finest exterior solar shading solutions that money can buy, products of true distinction that people are proud of, products that are striking, adorning the facades of luxurious buildings and delivering real benefits, whether it be energy saving, lifestyle or comfort".
So today, we'll lead with the answer to B&S question: What is Caribbean Blinds' USP?
It is a sad fact that we are hearing more stories of where consumers have been sold either the wrong type of external blind system for their application or have had an external blind system fitted completely wrong.
Following our article last year about companies closing down and resurfacing immediately again appearing to be the same company, although not, following recent events in the blinds and shutters industry we thought we would re-highlight the situation and provide practical advice on how to avoid shading cowboys.
The first 2014 issue of the leading trade journal aimed at everyone involved in interior and exterior blinds, awnings and shutters is now out, having landed on most of the doorsteps of the circa 6,000 companies involved in the industry over the weekend.
There are various types of exterior blinds on the marketplace and whilst they are designed with the same key purpose in mind, to provide solar control and sun protection, each product group is designed for a specific application.

Whilst we do not agree with companies who close down to wipe their debt and restart the next day as we feel it is highly unethical, especially for consumers who have lost deposits (in some cases substantial amounts), it is not illegal in this country (yet), however, when these companies blatantly lie to appear as if they have been in business far longer than they have and therefore are reputable (when they are not), we feel the need to, well post this article, after it was pointed out by a recent savvy customer.

There is a certain breed of popular science book, often around the social sciences or economics that sets out to shock us by revealing that human nature doesn't work the way we expect it to. I suppose a good example would be Freakonomics. This books is very much of that ilk, but is more based on science than the purely observational approach of Freakonomics, and manages to produce a similar level of fascination.
In a sense, although not presented as such, it's a wholesale attack on economics as it is traditionally practised. This is, let's face it, an easy target. I've never understood how economics can compare itself to real sciences, when Nobel Prizes are regularly awarded for totally opposing theories. Real science is built on observation and experiment, while economics seems more based on the Ancient Greek approach of coming up with a top-of-the-head theory to explain something, then defending it by argument.
At the core of the book's attack is the assumption in traditional economics that human beings are rational and that we try to maximize our benefit. It is only in such circumstances that it is sensible to let the market determine anything – yet the reality (and well all know this without the experiments, but they serve to underline the situation) is that our decisions are anything but rational. We are, as the book's title suggests, predictably irrational.
This is demonstrated with a wide range of experiments undertaken on the long suffering students of MIT and other nearby universities. (In case this suggests an economic bias, they do sometimes experiment on real human beings, as well as students.) Because this is first person stuff, there are sometimes entertaining outcomes, such as when the author, posing as a barman to study how people's drink orders are influenced by others at the same table, is assumed to have failed in his career by an ex-colleague. But there is also a steady flow of small shocks as we realize just how irrational we are, whether we're being unfairly influenced by initial prices (sale, anyone?) or being cured better by expensive medicine.
One side effect of reading this book is you pick up more on irrationality around you. Immediately afterwards, a friend came back from a visit to Blockbuster to rent two DVDs. He came back with four. When asked why, he pointed out that two would have cost £7.50, while four only cost £10. It was much better value for money, he argued. Yes, but he only wanted two DVDs, and he had just spent a third as much again. Yet he couldn't see that the cunning pricing structure had forced him into irrationality.
The only trouble with a book like this is that after a while the 'surprises' when people act irrational are lessened because we've come to expect it. So it sags a little towards the end. And it's short on answers when the author points out the negative effect of a particular irrationality, but can't suggest any way to overcome that negative. But it's still a very useful addition to the literature giving the general reader an understanding of why humans will never be truly rational – and why economics needs to recognize this.

Indian drug firms have registered strong growth over last decade driven mainly by the US market on account of large brands going off patent and sizeable organic and inorganic expansion.
"However, going forward there are challenges, given the relatively moderate proportion of large sized drugs going off patent, increased competition, generic adoption reaching saturation levels in US market along with base effect catching up," ICRA said in a statement.
ICRA Senior Group Vice President for Corporate Ratings Subrata Ray said the increased regulatory scrutiny as reflected in growing issuance of warning letters/import alerts and consolidation of supply chain in US market resulting in pricing pressures will have an impact on competitiveness of Indian pharmaceutical companies.
However, in lieu of increased R&D expenditure and product pipeline comprising specialty drugs, niche molecules and complex therapies, the growth outlook for Indian pharmaceutical companies remain stable, ICRA said.
"The domestic pharmaceutical industry has gained adequate scale and drug development capabilities over last decade of growth which will keep them in good stead to capture new opportunities in the US market," it added.
The growth from US market has come down from high double digits to 8-10 per cent given lack of major new launches, regulatory overhang and increased pricing pressures, ICRA said.
"The domestic market growth, though moderating from FY2015 level, remains healthy driven by favorable socio economic factors. The key concern for domestic market relates to continued regulatory interventions in form of expanded list of NLEM along with recent ban on 344 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs," it said.
The FDC ban could potentially impact domestic pharma sales of Rs 30-38 billion though given most of the banned FDC drugs have substitutes, sales are expected to shift to other alternatives available to an extent, it added.

Hi, I'm Cameron, and I'm from Missouri. Welcome to Notre Dame Stadium.
Notre Dame Stadium was designed by Coach Knute Rockne and opened in 1930. Even though he was only able to coach one season here, the Stadium will always be known as the "House that Rockne Built." The original structure could hold about 59,000 people and after the expansion and renovation in 1997, can now hold a little under 81,000. They opened the gates for us today, so we can go out on the field and check it out. Come on, let's go.
Wow, here we are inside Notre Dame Stadium. Can you imagine all the great players who have played here throughout the years? From Paul Horning to Joe Theismann, Joe Montana and Tim Brown. Even movie directors are attracted to the Notre Dame for its traditional feel, from the real grass on the field, to the diagonal stripes in the end zone and even the wooden bleachers.
Painting of the football team helmets is another tradition here at the Stadium. Every Monday before a home game, student managers and volunteers repaint each player's helmet. The gold paint contains real gold and is the same gold that's used on the dome of the Main Building.
The grass on the field is mowed every day during the summer and when it gets a little colder, they back off and only mow it every other day. Notre Dame is one of the few universities to play full-contact inter-hall football. And each year, the championship game is played right here in Notre Dame Stadium. A couple years ago, my dorm was in the championship game, and we won.
As you can tell, football is a huge part of the Notre Dame tradition, so next time you're on campus, you're gonna want to come check out the Notre Dame Stadium.

New Jersey Animals Get More Protection, Still Property
by Seth Victor
— Our thanks to Animal Blawg, where this post originally appeared on September 5, 2013.
Last month New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed laws creating two new felonies for animal abuse. The first, "Patrick's Law," increases neglect of a dog from a disorderly persons offense, a misdemeanor, to a fourth degree felony, or in some cases, a third degree felony.
The fines associated with these crimes were also increased. Additionally, overworking an animal is now a misdemeanor offense. The law was inspired by Patrick, a malnourished pit bull who was thrown down a garbage chute in a trash bag by his owner. Patrick survived and was rescued, but owner Kisha Curtis is not expected to face harsh penalties for her actions. Under the new law, even failing to provide a dog like Patrick with adequate food and water could land a similar offender in custody. The bill was passed by the NJ Assembly last spring.
Christie also signed "Dano's Law," aka "Dano's and Vader's Law." Under this addition, it is now a fourth degree felony to threaten the life of a law enforcement animal. This measure primarily includes K-9 units, but also horses for mounted police. NJ Sen. Christopher Bateman commented, "Cowardly criminals who threaten the life of a law enforcement animal will now receive the punishment they deserve."
Turning to Patrick's Law first, the revised language of the animal cruelty statute still isn't perfect, but it's much more powerful. For instance, the statute still only penalizes "unnecessary cruelty," which of course assumes that there is some level of acceptable cruelty, most likely in working animal situations. It also gives the courts some discretion in its application by penalizing only those who "unnecessarily fail" to provide food and water. The changes to the statute also provide for monetary restitution if the animal is killed, which seems thoughtful, but only reinforces the notion of animals as a sort of specialized property. Those complaints aside, the updated law is a commendable advancement. As the Blawg previously commented, Schultz's Law created a potential danger by pushing animal protection laws through for the wrong reasons. Patrick's Law is perhaps superior in that it does not draw distinctions between animals (save again for the exceptions that allow for different treatment of farmed and lab animals) based on arbitrary roles. It enforces against cruelty equally, drawing on the same langauge as the human assault law. …

This is a guest post brought to you by Samantha Schultz:
Samantha Schultz writes about all things life and parenthood on her blog, The Peanuts Gang. With two boys (Charlie & Jack) and a high school sweetheart hubby, they experience the adventures of this crazed life – sharing along the way. She and her family live just outside Chicago.
One of our family's favorites is pizza and for a while, our Friday nights consisted of any variation of pizza – store bought, frozen, pizza place, semi-homemade. A huge favorite is Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza and so I thought I'd venture to make my own version (along with my own crust!) This is also a great way to get kids involved!
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
1 cup lukewarm water
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
2 1/2 cups flour whole wheat
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Then, set aside for about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to foam. If it doesn't foam, your yeast may be old or inactive or your water was too warm, thus "killing."
Next, add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 8 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. Add flour if dough is overly sticky. (Jim did this part because I didn't think I could do it for five minutes! You an also use your Kitchen-Aid mixer to knead it for you!)
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat all over. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for an hour, until doubled. (I placed mine in an off oven and that worked just fine!)
Easy, right? It really was that simple. You can also use all-purpose flour instead of the wheat.
Homemade Stuffed Crust Pizza
Pizza dough (homemade or otherwise)
String cheese (we used ten for this large rectangle)
Pizza toppings (we did pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, green peppers and onions)
Roll the dough out into one or two pizzas. (Ours made one large rectangle), leaving a little extra dough on the edges for folding over. Unwrap string cheese, put against the sides and then roll the crust over to cover the cheese.
Add all your pizza toppings, in the order you like them. Bake on a preheated pizza stone at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
It shall also be noted that I did NOT pre-heat my stone. I wanted Charlie to be able to help and knew that a burning pan would not be a good idea! The pizza still came out great!

University Research:
Most Federal Agencies Need to Better Protect against Financial Conflicts of Interest
GAO-04-31: Published: Nov 14, 2003. Publicly Released: Nov 14, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
- Additional Data:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In fiscal year 2001, federal agencies provided $19 billion for university research, a vital part of the nation's research and development effort. GAO was asked to examine federal agencies' actions to ensure that (1) the results of the university research grants they fund are made available to the public and (2) universities receiving such grants implement policies for identifying and managing possible financial conflicts of interest. GAO reviewed the actions of eight federal agencies and conducted a Web-based survey of 200 leading research universities (refer to GAO-04-223SP). GAO also met with officials in the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to discuss the National Science and Technology Council's role in coordinating federal science policy.
Each of the eight federal agencies GAO examined relies on university scientists who receive federally funded research grants to make the results available to the public. Although university scientists customarily seek to publish their research results in peer-reviewed journals, agencies cannot require such publication as a condition for funding because it is impossible to ensure in advance that the results will be accepted for publication. Agencies do, however, explicitly encourage funding recipients to make results public. The Departments of Agriculture, Defense, and Energy; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also disseminate the results of their funded research by posting them on their Web sites. Officials from these agencies said that posting the results is an effective way to share information among scientists, as well as with the public. In contrast, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) do not post research results on their Web sites. According to NIH officials, the risk associated with posting researchers' final reports before they have been validated by peer review is too great in the biomedical field. The Department of Education is considering how best to widely disseminate the results of research it funds. NIH and NSF are the only federal agencies that require universities to implement policies for identifying and managing possible financial conflicts of interest for the research they fund. The other six agencies do not have financial conflict of interest standards for university research grants. Of the 171 universities that responded to the GAO survey, 148 (87 percent) reported that all of their federally funded research is covered by financial conflict of interest policies that are consistent with either NIH's or NSF's standards. However, 17 universities reported that they do not extend either agency's requirements to cover research grants from other federal agencies. Unless federal agencies uniformly require that universities implement conflict of interest policies, the government cannot properly safeguard against financial conflicts of interest that might bias federally funded research.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department of Education agreed with our recommendation. Therefore, the Institute of Education Sciences has begun to post on its Web site final technical reports that contractors have prepared with Institute funding, after they have been peer reviewed.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the findings and results of scientifically valid research in education are widely disseminated, the Secretary of Education should direct the new Institute of Education Sciences to post the final technical reports of the research it funds on its Web site.
Agency Affected: Department of Education
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Section 8008 of the America Competes Act (Pub. L. 110-69, Aug. 9 2007) requires that recipients of grants or contracts funded by the Departments of Commerce, Energy, and Education under the act certify that no funds derived from the grant or contract will be made available through a subcontract or in any other manner to another person who has a financial interest or other conflict of interest in the person awarded the grant or contract, unless previously disclosed and approved in the process of entering into a contract or awarding a grant.
Recommendation: To safeguard against bias in the design, conduct, or reporting of federally funded research, the National Science and Technology Council should coordinate the development of uniform federal requirements for universities and other funding recipients to identify and resolve financial conflicts of interest. The NIH and NSF standards provide a useful starting point for this requirement.
Agency Affected: National Science and Technology Council

Reading and listening to stories will take children to places they have never been and increase their knowledge. Below are some book suggestions on space and the solar system that preschool children love.
Books About the Moon
The Moon Shines Down by Margaret Wise Brown [Thomas Nelson, 2008] is a story about how the moon shines all over the world. Brown wrote this book and the manuscript was forgotten; found and published over 50 years after the author died. A sweet story based on a prayer, "I see the Moon and the Moon sees me, God bless the Moon and God bless me." A little Koala bears takes the children on an adventure to cities and continents all over the world and no matter where you are the moon shines down upon us at night.
If You Decide to Go to the Moon by Faith Mcnulty [Scholastic, 2005] takes the readers along with a young boy on a trip to the moon. The story is explicit on what to take, blastoff, the loneliness in space, loss of gravity, moon jumps and more. After visiting the site where astronauts previously placed the American flag, it is time to return home.
Books About the Solar System
There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System by Tish Rabe [Random House, 1999] will entertain young children with the Cat in the Hat character and his friends Thing One and Thing Two (from Dr. Seuss) and rhyming text. The Cat takes the children on an adventure around nine planets and gives facts along the way. The book also touches on the moon and star constellations.
The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole [Scholastic, 1992] is part of the Magic School Bus series. A teacher takes her class to a planetarium for a field trip only to find that it's closed when they arrive. So not to disappoint her class, she magically gets the school bus to blast off into space and visits the planets in the solar system. Miss Frizzle ventures out of the bus to check on her taillight and gets lost in space. The children continue the journey without her but they reconnect at the end of the story where they are back in the classroom drawing pictures and making mobiles of their discoveries.
Books About Astronauts
A is for Astronaut: Exploring Space from A to Z by Traci N. Todd [Chronicle, 2006] is an exciting book with space words on each page. It teaches the alphabet with interesting facts about space travel. There are beautiful photos and illustrations that feed the children information about the space program and the astronauts who explore it.
Astronaut Piggy Wiggy by Diane Fox [Chronicle, 2002] is a story for the younger set. Piggy Wiggy was gazing through a telescope and began dreaming of an exciting trip through outer space. With the colorful pictures, young children can explore space with this little pig through his journey and sees that he is home just in time for breakfast. The text is brief, but teachers can easily add to the story.
Children love to talk and dream about outer space. Using books about space for preschool children takes them on imaginary explorations and teaches them concepts along the way. The books in this article can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, local libraries and your favorite bookstore.
