Right now, there's 100 feet of paracord in my bug out bag. There's 100 feet in my car, and there's a big spool of it in my basement. And I'm not the only prepper who finds Paracord useful. So why is paracord so popular with preppers?
First, when you are trying to improvise a shelter or make repairs, a bit of rope or cord can help. String some paracord between two trees and you have a roof line over which to throw a tarp or even a military style poncho, and your shelter is quickly taking shape. Break a shoe lace or blow out a zipper on your pack? Paracord can help you get up and running again. Need to hang something up, tie something down, or tie a rope a bunch of stuff together? This tough cord can do it.
Paracord is so versatile because of its strength and make up. It's also popular because its affordable. A nylon sheath surrounding 7 thin strands, it has a test weight of 550 pounds, which is why it is often called 550 cord. If necessary, you can pull the thinner white strings out of the paracord sheath and you have a line for fishing, for making a snare, a tripwire, or for sewing up a piece of torn clothing or gear.

I have a problem that seems to be quite common, but none of the examples I found, actually works for me. The rule needs to say that the combination of element and attribute value must beunique. There can be only one instance of a name per language, but the name can be the same for different languages:
The rule I created is the following:
Code: Select all
<languageSpecificBrandName language='en'>name1</languageSpecificBrandName>
<languageSpecificBrandName language='fr'>name2</languageSpecificBrandName>
<languageSpecificBrandName language='de'>name2</languageSpecificBrandName>
But it always gives an error, so there must be something wrong with it.
Code: Select all
<sch:rule context="//brandName">
<sch:assert test="count(languageSpecificBrandName/@languageCode[.=current()])=1">Error</sch:assert>
Could you give me some suggestion?
Thank you,

Inspiring all mountain adventures.
Just because saggy and baggy seems to be the norm in mountain bike wardrobes these days doesn't mean that loosey-goosey has to be your style of choice. You can embrace clean lines and a keen eye for detail, thanks to elevated pieced like the Kitsbow Origin Long-Sleeve Jersey for men. The Origin Long-Sleeve Jersey is made for those who prefer to begin with performance, and end with classic styling, with clean aesthetics that don't distract from the ride.
Made from Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric, the Origin Long-Sleeve is light and breathable, with exceptional range of motion and a fit that's slim and tailored to be on the bike. It features Schoeller armor on the shoulders and elbows, offering an abrasion-resistant backup to bulky hydration-pack straps, or moments when dusty corners send you drifting into the woods. But part of the beauty of the Origin Long-Sleeve is that you can skip the hydration pack when you ride with it, opting instead to stow a water bottle in one of the three back pockets, along with your spare tube and nutrition. A fourth pocket on the side offers you a secure zippered spot to stash your cards or keys on the go.
- Classic inspired style with elevated MTB fit
- Move freely with lightweight Polartec Power Stretch
- Full-arm coverage against abrasion and sun
- Backup armor on shoulders and elbows increase durability
- 3-pocket rear for nutrition, water, and tools
- Zippered stash pocket stows valuables
- Reflective piping increases visibility if you have to hit pavement

Cycling Specific First Aid App
We all hope it will never happen but if a cyclist does go down it is most often other cyclists who are first on the scene. A First Aid qualification is useful but, a year or two after a course and without regular practice, I worry if I will be able to remember all the procedures with a clear mind if presented with an emergency.
This new app from St John Ambulance looks like it will provide a quick an reassuring checklist, available for Iphone and Android and it's free.

How to Teach Yourself Finance. The world of finance can be vast and incomprehensible, and successfully teaching yourself the finer points will depend upon your ability to break the knowledge down into smaller modules. Finance encompasses economics, accounting and even politics and history, so a thorough understanding of this field will require a large amount of dedication.
Step 1
Narrow your study of finance into independent subjects, such as basic economics, principles of accounting, computer science, banking practices and politics and history. By choosing an appropriate starting point for the study of finance, you can outline the specific areas in which you are the most interested.
Step 2
Teach yourself finance by visiting the local library, and checking out books on the specific components. Focus on books that are more recent, since some of the methods of finance have been significantly altered in the last few years due to the Internet and the growing interest in global economies.
Step 3
Check with your local university and community college to see if they offer any finance or economics classes to non-students. These courses may be designed as online or home courses, so that you can teach yourself finance at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home. In addition, these self-contained courses may be applied later toward a degree.
Step 4
Subscribe to financial magazines and publications to teach yourself finance. Such publications include Fortune, Barron's, Smart Money and the Wall Street Journal.
Step 5
Purchase books and tutorials on personal finance, such as Janet Bigham Bernstel and Lea Saslav's "Teach Yourself Personal Finance in 24 Hours," or Ken and Daria Dolan's "Teach Yourself e-Personal Finance Today." These books are designed with beginners in mind, and can start you on the long road of understanding larger realms of world finance.
Step 6
Visit a local college or university to purchase textbooks on finance. Textbooks are often more direct than commercial titles, with the information offered at a more concentrated pace.
You may want to start off with a beginner's guide to finance to further map out your course of study. Humorous publications such as the "Idiot's" guides may be somewhat remedial in approach, but may provide valuable recommendations for more in-depth study.

Summerlicious Blackberry Ice Cream
Oh, I can't tell you how much I love this recipe. My other half and I are both sugarholics, our worst vice – ice cream! Game over, can't resist, no cure, got to have it. In summer, it's so bad I sometimes even have to replace breakfast with a couple of scoops of this devilish delight. Even worse, my gorgeous darling. I literally have to grab the tub of ice cream from him and put it back in the freezer as he easily would go through the whole thing in one go. (A pint of cream can you believe!!!)
My addiction to ice cream started at an early age and making some, was one of my first attempts in the kitchen by adding flour to harden it… Don't even try imagining the result, my only excuse, I was five and influenced by my dad who made concrete earlier that day. To my family's credit, they all ate it and surprise, surprise, it contained a lot of blackberries – but be assured, no flour used in this recipe.
So when I was thinking of my first post it was clear it got to be ice cream and considering the season, LOTS of blackberries and of course cream I'm afraid. (Working on a lighter version which will follow soon). From August up until late September, blackberries are in abundance and can be easily picked all around Bristol: the Downs, Leigh Woods, Ashton Court or at most meadows and hedges. They are like weeds, just grow anywhere. Just make sure you choose a place away from the road – don't want to take in unnecessary toxins. For those who don't fancy pricked and stained fingers, a quick trip to the supermarket will do the trick, as those lovely, plump little fruits are at their peak, juicy and a bit sweeter than their wild sibling and very likely on offer right now.
Preparation Summerlicious Blackberry Ice Cream Heaven
Source: concoction of own recipes and www
Preparation Time: 15-20 minutes, chilling in the freezer 6-8 hours (regular stirring required, best made in day time)
Ingredients (serves 4-6 in my case 2)
- 400g blackberries (anything between 300-500g) keep a couple for serving
- 500ml double cream
- 100g plain yogurt
- 100g golden caster sugar (might need extra if you prefer it sweeter)
- 5 egg yolks (very fresh, ideally organic)
- 1 vanilla pod
- zest of one untreated lemon
1. Rinse the blackberries and dry on kitchen roll.
2. Blitz the blackberries in a blender and pass the puree through a sieve to get rid of the little seeds (or leave them in, whichever you prefer).
3. Bring the cream and yogurt, together with the halved and scraped-out vanilla seeds, very gently just before boil. Stir regularly.
4. In the meantime, mix the egg yolks, sugar and lemon zest with an electric hand whisk for about 5 minutes until pale and very thick and the sugar has almost dissolved.
5. Take the saucepan off the heat.
6. Remove the vanilla pod, give it another scrape to make sure you've removed all the lovely seeds and add them to the hot mix.
TIP: Rinse the vanilla pod, let dry and add to your sugar jar and keep topping up, will last you for ages..
7. Slowly poor the milk/cream/vanilla concoction over the egg/sugar/lemon zest mix. Stir continuously to stop it from curdling.
TIP: Use a wire whisk and not electric hand whisk for this as otherwise your kitchen might get a bit messy.
8. Return the custard into the saucepan, scrape out all the vanilla pods from the eggy bowl, and thicken it over a gentle heat while continuously stirring. Don't let it boil, you don't want scrambled eggs!
9. Take the custard off the heat and add the blackberry puree. Give it a taste and add some more sugar if required as blackberries can sometimes be a bit sharp.
10. Add into a sealable box and let cool down before adding a lid and placing it into the freezer for 6-8 hours.
11. Give it a good stir every hour to make sure the ice crystals are broken down. 3-4 times will be enough or more often if you remember.
12. Serve the blackberry ice cream with some fresh blackberries.
13. Can't really tell how long it will keep as it usually only lasts for a couple of days…

Christian Evans was a contestant during Cycle 7 of ANTM.
Before she joined America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7, she was working as a bank teller in South Carolina. Her appearance on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7 was short-lived as she was the first girl to be eliminated from the show. Although she was extremely confident about her runway walk, Christian struggled greatly during the first photo shoot. The 13 finalists were asked to portray different model stereotypes, and Christian was the given the role of the model-turned-actress. She failed to come up with several poses for the photo shoot, and admitted that she could not fully understand the concept of the stereotype she was given. Her poor performance and seeming lack of potential were what drove the judges to send her home after only spending one week in the finals.
Christian is now signed with Elite Model Management in Atlanta, runway division.

WHOA! Great photos! I didn't know she had such talent. Wish she would've made it further. 🙂
February 5, 2011 at 9:10 am
Yep, but I don't know why. I find her quite boring still today.
October 27, 2011 at 8:04 pm
She's so stunning…the first photo after the ones from top model blew me away. I had to double-check that she was indeed eliminated first. Stunning girl!
June 11, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Monique should have been standing where Christian was in the bottom 2 with MelRose. Monique should have left first instead
September 14, 2012 at 2:56 am
My brother used to "date" Christian. Christian actually had a stint at as a stripper after ANTM. Her portfolio picks are great, looks like she got straightened out. Being the 1st person eliminated hit her hard. She was really messed up by that. Around Cola (Columbia) she was told she was a Tyra look alike (thus why she wore her hair in a bun on the 1st day). She started drinking and going the "discouraged" route. I am happy to see she is doing well and still managed to keep her looks. My bro lives o/o/s now so I am not sure if they kept in contact. They were pretty hot and heavy at one time.
November 23, 2013 at 5:11 am
Hi this is Christian and "Paula" I'm not sure who you are BUT i Have NEVER, EVER, EVER, even come close to being a stripper. Get your facts straight please. Not sure who you or your "brother" are, but watch the things you say about people, especially if you don't know them to be true FIRST-HAND.

Video and transcript from The Rachel Maddow Show June 4 2009 –
MADDOW: If choosing a summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, Princeton graduate with the J.D. from Yale, and 11 years experience on the second circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals—where only three of her hundreds of opinions have been overturned by the Supreme Court—who happens to be the first Latina ever nominated to the high court, weren't enough to secure President Obama's first Supreme Court nominee, her confirmation…
the Obama administration deployed its most powerful asset on the campaign in support of Judge Sonia Sotomayor yesterday.
They deployed FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States, whose favorability rating stands at 76 percent, which does happen to outpace Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton at similar times in their husband's presidencies.
Here was Michelle Obama speaking yesterday to a high school graduation in Washington, D.C.
MICHELLE OBAMA, UNITED STATES FIRST LADY: And then I read the story of Judge Sonia Sotomayor. I don't know if you know about this phenomenal woman, but the president—she's the president's nominee for the Supreme Court.
OBAMA: And she's the first Hispanic woman to be considered for the position. The first. And she went to Princeton.
And in the story, she said that when she arrived at Princeton as a freshman—and this was nine years before I would even think about going – she said, when she stepped on that campus, she said—and this is a quote—she said, she felt like a visitor landing in an alien country.
She said she never raised her hand her first year because—and this is a quote—she was too embarrassed and too intimidated to ask questions.
So, despite all her success at Princeton, then she went on to Yale Law School where she was at the top of her class in both schools—and despite all of her professional accomplishments, Judge Sotomayor says she still looks over her shoulder and wonders if she measures up.
And when I read her story, I understood exactly how she feels.
The Rachel Maddow Show June 4 2009
Of course, impostor feelings are not limited to one gender – many of us men do feel inadequate, unqualified or fakes at times – but there may be strong social influences to make it more likely or more intense for girls and women.
Related issues may include our feelings of introversion, self-criticism and high sensitivity.
Research into this impostor phenomenon or syndrome began with the work of psychotherapists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes, who wrote a paper on the topic in 1978.
They found many women with notable achievements also had high levels of self-doubt which could not be equated with self-esteem, anxiety, or other traits, and seemed to involve a deep sense of inauthenticity and an inability to internalize their successes.
They often had the belief they were "fooling" other people, were "faking it" or getting by from having the right contacts or just being "lucky." Many held a belief they would be exposed as frauds or fakes.
[From my article Gifted Women: Identity and Expression.]

The first of our U20's to be featured, Wonga Koti plays for the U20A side at 8th Man. Having been a loosie all his rugby career he is a talented athlete playing both hockey and basketball.

Best Rugby Memories:
"Scoring my first try as a young boy. Another that sticks with me is going the through all the rounds at the Craven Week trials"
Wonga talks about his rugby journey and what motivates him –
"I played a rugby when I was really young but then I stopped because my primary school didn't have any rugby and I had to join other sports , I played hockey which I represented WP until u14 , I decided in grade 9 I will go back rugby and have played ever since.
My passion for rugby runs deep my uncle, Msimelelo Koti, played for SARU, WPRB and Border- I hope have the opportunity to play further up the ranks and possibly professional one day."

Porto is a wonderful city that has all of the right ingredients to provide you with a memorable holiday. The historic centre boasts outstanding tourist attractions and characterful districts, while modern Porto delivers vibrant culture, daring cuisine and buzzing nightlife.
Porto is also ideally situated near historic towns, picturesque beaches and Portuguese heritage sites, making it a perfect destination for a truly unique holiday.
This article will provide a suggested itinerary for your 1-week holiday to Porto - a tour that has been entirely designed around public transport, so there is no need for the hassle or expense of renting a car.
Related articles: Porto introduction - 1 day in Porto - 48 hours in Porto - Top 10 Porto
• Day 1 – Porto (historic centre)
• Day 2 – Porto (Vila Nova de Gaia and Foz district)
• Day 3 – Guimaraes (day trip)
• Day 4 – Braga (day trip)
• Day 5 – Vila do Conde or Espinho (beach day trip)
• Day 6 – Douro Valley cruise or day trip Lamego
• Day 7 – Aveiro and Costa Nova (day trip)
Below is an interactive map for the 1 week in Porto. Each day is highlighted by a numbered marker, and alternatives for the days are shown in green.
Two days of sightseeing is sufficient time to gain a good appreciation of Porto. For the first day, it is recommended that you explore the historic districts of Ribeira, Se and Vitória. For the second day, it is suggested to visit Vila Nova de Gaia and the Jardim do Palacio De Cristal, ending the day with a boat cruise or tram ride.
The Se and Vitória districts are the cultural and historic centre of Porto, and contained within a relatively compact area are many of the city's finest tourist monuments. Highlights of the morning include:
• The magnificent Avenida dos Aliados
• The panoramic view from the top of Clérigos Tower.
• The São Bento railway station and its decorative main hall
• The ancient Se cathedral
• The Igreja de São Francisco and the extravagant use of 100kg of gold to adorn every surface in gold leaf
• The Rua das Flores, a popular shopping street
• The Lello bookshop, an inspiration for the Harry Potter series of books
• The beautiful Azulejos tile paintings on the exterior of the Igreja do Carmo
The latter part of the day should be spent down by the riverfront in the Ribeira District. This is the oldest section of the city and is a charming warren of narrow streets, home of many fine restaurants and bars. The Ribeira also provides great views over the iconic Ponte Luís I Bridge and the Douro River, and is just an enjoyable district for tourists to spend time in. Activities of the Ribeira include:
• Exploring the labyrinth of narrow alleys and side streets
• Joining a boat cruise along the Douro River
• Riding the Funicular dos Guindais
• Admiring the Ponte Luís I Bridge
• Visiting the Casa do Infante, the birthplace of Henry the Navigator
• Have a dinner/lunch in the Ribeira, one of the most romantic settings of Porto

Vila Nova de Gaia is situated on the southern banks of the Douro River, and is the renowned home of Port. The Port grapes are grown and pressed in the upper reaches of the Douro Valley, and the drink is matured in the vast cellars (known as lodges) that line the banks of Vila Nova de Gaia.
Each of the major Port producers has a port lodge (huge traditional warehouse) in Gaia, and these are open to the public for tours and port tasting. The tours are surprisingly inexpensive, being based upon number and quality of drinks tasted; just check the times of tours at the start of the day.
After the port tasting and tours, you can wander along the pretty southern banks of the Douro River and then ride the cable car up to the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, with one of the best panoramic views of the city. For the latter part of the day, head to the Palacio De Cristal gardens and the Soares dos Reis museum.
The museum is housed in the beautiful Palácio das Carrancas and contains a diverse collection of Portuguese art. An alternative to the museum is to ride the scenic Linha 1 tram, which follows the river west into the Foz district.

There is very high demand for accommodation during the peak season, we advise to book your hotel rooms now before they sell out. To check current prices and availability enter your holiday dates in the search box below:
Guimarães is one of the oldest cities of Portugal, and it contains a beautifully preserved medieval city centre, which is a joy to explore. Guimarães is regarded as the birthplace of Portugal, as it was the first capital city and the birthplace of the first Portuguese king.
This ancient and illustrious past of Guimarães can be experienced by visiting the numerous historic monuments, including; Guimarães Castle, Dukes of Braganza Palace, Olive square and Misericórdia convent.
Later in the day, ride the cable car up to Penha Hill, which provides fantastic views of the city and has enjoyable hiking trails. There is a direct train service from Porto to Guimarães (1h15min €6.40 return), which departs from the Sao Bento Train Station in central Porto.

Braga is the religious centre of Portugal, and is a historic yet cosmopolitan city, which offers visitors numerous interesting attractions. Braga has a likeable pedestrianised city centre, comprising of grand plazas, busy shopping streets and pretty formal gardens. Sights to include during your day trip, are the ancient Se Cathedral, the Jardim de Santa Bárbara, the Igreja de Santa Cruz and the Casa dos Biscaínhos.
To the east of Braga is one of the most iconic monuments of northern Portugal: the Bom Jesus do Monte. This ornate baroque church is located at the top of a steep hill and is reached via a series of decorative staircases which represent the ascent into heaven. For the less energetic, the world's oldest water-powered funicular travels from the base of the hill to the church. Bom Jesus is an outstanding tourist attraction and should not be missed during your holiday to northern Portugal.
Braga is connected to Porto by the urban train network (1h10 min €6.40 return), which again departs from the Sao Bento Train Station.

Porto is situated close to the Costa Verde, a coastline of glorious beaches, rugged shorelines and powerful seas. There are two very different choices for a beach day, either the likeable resort town of Espinho or the traditional fishing town of Vila do Conde.
Espinho is a modern resort town that is popular with Portuguese tourists and lies along a 17km unbroken stretch of golden sands. At the centre of the town is the largest casino of northern Portugal, as well as many great restaurants and bars
. For the more energetic tourists, there is also a scenic cycle path and hiking route that follows the coastline to the pristine beaches north of the town. Espinho is connected by the Porto–Aveiro railway (30min €3.50 return), and the train departs from the Sao Bento Station.
Vila do Conde combines beautiful beaches with a charming town, and is a better choice if you prefer a mix of sightseeing and beach time. Vila do Conde is dominated by the massive Mosteiro de Santa, while along the banks of the Ave River is the historic fishing port and traditional centre. Most visitors head to the beaches close to the town, but south of the river is the wild and unspoilt Praia da Azurara beach. Vila do Conde is connected to Porto by the metro network (1hour €5.60 return)
Related articles: Porto beach guide - Vila do Conde Guide - Espinho Guide
Aveiro is a pretty city that is located on the edge of the Ria de Aveiro Lagoon, close to the beautiful beaches of the Silver Coast. The city is crossed by multiple canals and a popular activity is riding one of the "Moliceiros", gondola-like boats that glide along the city's waterways. Aveiro has a traditional fishing quarter, decorative Nouveau architecture, and posses a very different ambience to Braga and Guimarães.
Close to Aveiro is the picturesque resort town of Costa Nova, which is famed for the striped summer houses that line the beachfront. Costa Nova is just a short bus ride from Aveiro, and when combined, they form a pleasant day trip from Porto. There is a direct train from Porto to Aveiro (1h07min - €7.00 return), which leaves from Sao Bento train station - this is the same train service to Espinho.
Related articles: Aveiro Introduction.
As a memorable last day in Porto, it is suggested to visit the Douro Valley, either by boat cruise, train or rental car. The higher reaches of the Douro Valley (Alto Douro) are the most scenic, with the section between Pinhão and Pocinho the most beautiful, but this is furthest from Porto. The terrace vineyards and steep valleys begin around the town of Peso da Régua.
The 1-day boat cruises are the most relaxing way to take in this stunning region, and they typically travel upstream to Régua by boat and the return by train or coach. Prices of tours vary dependent on food options and comfort level, ranging between €50-80.
The Linha do Douro railway extends from Porto up to Pocinho, closely following the river for most of the route. The train may not be as relaxing as the boat, but it actually sees more of the region and is cheaper. From Peso da Régua the railway is on one side of the river and the road is on the other. This road is one of the most beautiful drives in Portugal and is worth renting a car for the day. For details of the train times please see the CP website:
If for your last day in Porto, you would prefer a day on the beach, then head to the town of Matosinhos. The town has two large sandy beaches and is famed for its seafood restaurants, which serve the fresh catch from the town's fishing fleet. Matosinhos is connected to the metro network and is just a short ride from central Porto.

G-Pod shipping container has the works in a drawer
Everybody loves the idea of shipping container housing, taking the cheap and ubiquitous boxes and piling them up like Legos. Years ago, when people started playing with the idea of them as buildings, when we were all in love with Archigram and walking cities, it was all about the mobility, about the fact that they were so easy to pick up and move by truck, train or ship. And you would never ship them empty, that's a complete waste, transporting a box of air.
The G-pod is like a throwback to those days. Architect Dan Sparks has designed this flexible shipping container unit with pop-out sides so that it it travels full of stuff (bathrooms and bedrooms) that slide out to make more room inside. The exterior wall folds down to be a deck and open the interior up to natural light.
Animation H 264 Short - YouTube from G-POD on Vimeo.
According to the brochure,
Humanity's requirement for GREEN, or environmentally sustainable building solutions, is obvious and urgent. G-pod meets this need through its autonomous building system. Its 'shell' is an up-cycled shipping container, its interior consists of recycled, sustainable and organic materials and finishes. These attributes, coupled with its super efficient and highly flexible planning, use options and ability to be easily relocated, resulting in a minimal 'footprint' – both physically and environmentally.
I believe that upcycling a used container is just silly in this case. They are chopping both sides off the box and adding doors to the other end. The floors have to be replaced and the roof reinforced since it is the corrugated walls that actually support it. There is almost nothing left of the original box here. I suspect it will cost more to "upcycle" an old box than it would to build it from scratch, like MEKA or Nova Deko does.
The important point is the "ease of transport through air and across land and water with simple set-up and dismantling (3 hours to 'unpack' and 3 hours to 'pack up') – this means lower costs associated with mobilization and de-mobilization!". It costs the same to transport a full box as it does an empty one, so if you are going to do a couple of moves then it makes sense to build it this way, with the works in a drawer. Because containers want to move, that's the whole point of them. More at G-Pod

A packed meeting of concerned patients from the Wigtown GP practice heard from NHS representatives that the planned merger with the Merrick Practice in Newton Stewart is inevitable due to the "dire" shortage of doctors willing to work in rural practices.
The meeting, hosted by Wigtown Community Council, were told the level of concern over falling numbers of doctors interested in joining a rural practices was now a real national crisis.
The Wigtown practice has one doctor and one nurse practitioner retiring within weeks and attempts to recruit a replacement GP had been unsuccessful leading to the link with the practice in Newton Stewart to preserve the practice's existence.
NHS Dumfries and Galloway medical director Angus Cameron and Wigtown practice GP Stephen Gurling both stressed that the move to link the two practices was taken to avoid a worst case scenario of closing the practice down or, alternatively, having it run by the NHS with locum doctors. He explained that the NHS had tried to entice GPs to Wigtown with adverts linked to the tourist board to promote the area's scenic qualities, links to DGRI's excellent reputation for foundation training for doctors, which is in the top ten in the UK, and even a 'golden handshake' financial incentive. All this had failed, leading Dr Cameron to comment that "things are pretty dire."
The alternative were to have patients learning to manage their own illnesses; have more input from nurse/practitioners; physiotherapists and pharmacists, or the option they decided to go for - collaborating with other practices to form a group of four or five doctors with, ideally, a range of skills.
In Wigtown, the news that both Dr Dunn and nurse/practitioner Sister Parker were retiring led to the need for a swift decision to save the practice, hence, explained Dr Gurling, the lack of consultation with the community, which he apologised for. The GP added: "I really enjoy it (being a rural GP) but it's really hard work and I can't do it on my own. I was therefore miraculous that we have the tie-up with the Merrick practice. I realise there were problems with a lack of consultation but, as a practice, we had to move quickly to get something in place."
When the meeting was opened to the floor, concerned patients raised queries about patient transport to the Health Centre in Minnigaff, morning only sugeries in Wigtown and safeguarding getting repeat prescriptions in Wigtown.
Regarding transport, Dr Cameron said that Jeff Ace, the chief executive of NHS Dumfries and Galloway, was in discussions with Swestans and the council regarding an idea to tweak public transport to fit in with peoples' needs rather that adhere to a timetable. If these discussions are successful it could see pilot schemes of passenger friendly community transport tested in Mid Galloway, with the possibility of patients being taken to doctor's appointments.
The NHS officials said they were aware that public transport was already under pressure from local authority budget cuts.
Patients were unhappy that the surgery in Wigtown will, from September, only be open in the mornings, meaning those who work days will have to travel to Newton Stewart to see a doctor.
Dr Gurling explained that the need to have a surgery open every morning, rather than two or two and half full days, was to ensure staff dealt daily prescriptions and home visits administration. He assured patients that the system for repeat prescriptions would continue as before.
It was pointed out that 500 patients registered with the Wigtown practice actually lived in the Newton Stewart / Minnigaff area so the amalgamation would be of benefit to them regarding travelling.
Mid Galloway Councillor Alistair Geddes pointed out that the GP crisis has been coming for a long time.
He warned the NHS representatives: "For this system to work you have to win hearts and minds and put in place a sustainable system of transport, and I don't hold out much hope of that being in place in time for the amalgamation."

The Election's Over, and AAUW Needs Your Support More Than EverNovember 23, 2016
The 2016 election may be over, but AAUW's work is ongoing. While the new administration and 115th Congress have the potential to raise serious challenges to AAUW priority issues, there may also be some strategic opportunities to advance our mission.
You can help us take the next steps to make sure that women, girls, and their families are a priority for this country. Democracy demands work every day of the year, and we know that our AAUW community is up to the challenge!
As a trusted nonpartisan messenger to many communities, AAUW's voice is needed now more than ever. Here's what you can do now to prepare for the fight ahead:
1. Give to AAUW today.
Your gift will support AAUW's fight against unequal representation in business and government, discrimination and harassment in the workplace and on campus, the gender pay gap, and more.
2. Stop hate in its tracks.
AAUW stands against bias and bigotry of any kind and continues to be the leading women's organization working on addressing hate crimes, especially gender-based hate crimes. We take the safety and civil rights of all people very seriously and are disturbed to hear of racist, sexist, and xenophobic incidents happening across the country, especially on college campuses. If you experience or witness harassment, threats of violence, cyberbullying, or hate speech in your area or on your college campus, use these resources to find support for yourself and members of your community.
- Notify campus safety or municipal police if you experience threats or harassment.
- Students, contact your campus Title IX coordinator (the individual responsible for helping track gender-based harassment, including intersectional harassment).
- Contact the S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights regional office, your local Anti-Defamation League regional office, and/or the Southern Poverty Law Center to report harassment or hate speech.
- Refer to AAUW's online advocacy resources to review student rights under Title IX when it comes to on-campus sexual harassment and sexual assault.
3. Listen to our recorded election analysis conference call for our take on the outcome of the 2016 election and insight into the threats and opportunities we expect to see in the president's first 100 days and the year ahead.
Also read and share AAUW's reaction to the election results and our statement about standing up to bias and bigotry and calling for a new administration that reflects the diverse makeup of our nation.
4. Recruit a friend (or five!) to subscribe to AAUW Action Network and help ensure that our message is heard at every level of government.
AAUW's Two Minute Activist Tool is a powerful vehicle for reaching elected officials and policy makers at every level. Members and supporters sent more than 80,000 messages to state and federal legislators this year, but we'll need even more voices to chime in in the weeks and months ahead.
5. Help build our community by inviting new members to join.
Let your neighbors, local students, colleagues, and acquaintances know that by joining AAUW they can help break through barriers for women in government, in the workplace, and on campus.
AAUW's values are non-negotiable. We believe that bias and discrimination of any kind are unacceptable in our national dialogue and that our government must represent all of us. Throughout our 135-year history, we've always stood for solutions that work for all women and families — and we don't intend to quit now. With your support, AAUW will continue to speak truth to power and fight for gender equity from the White House to the statehouse.
You provide the voice,
we'll provide the megaphone.
Now let's get to work!
Show your support for women and girls. Give to AAUW today!
AAUW Public Policy Priorities
The Public Policy Priorities underscores AAUW's mission of advancing equity for women and girls and speaks to women's needs, aspirations, and concerns.
Become a
Two-Minute Activist
Make yourself heard on issues like fair pay, Supreme Court justice nominations, and Title IX. Find out how we make it easy for you to contact your representatives.

On a side note, Zara is having their semi-annual sale in full swing, and this off-the-shoulder was a score during one of my store visits, supposedly a stuff-to-return trip, that turned out to be a burn-hole-in-the-wallet trip. Anyways, when a pretty pink dress, with pretty sleeve ruffles goes on sale: you don't just walk past it, you try it, and if it fits and is under $30, you just bring it home......what say ??
dress- Zara ( printed option, another under $60 )
wedges- Dolce Vita ( another DV option )
bag- Love Culture ( designer option on my radar )
choker- Forever 21 ( another option for under $5)

For a quick overview of key points, see the following:
Preventing Suicide among Men in the Middle Years: Recommendations for State and Community Suicide Prevention Programs (SPRC) (PDF)
Decreasing Alcohol Outlet Density
For suicide prevention coalitions interested in creating healthier alcohol environments to decrease suicide rates, we recommend partnering with your local AODA coalition, if applicable. The Alliance for Wisconsin Youth lists AODA coalitions on their website: www.allwisyouth.org.
For work on alcohol outlet density, we recommend starting with this resource:
Wisconsin County Alcohol Outlet Density Reports, Alcohol License Overview, 2012. A joint project of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project. Each county report lists alcohol outlet density by municipality using Department of Revenue data. Strategies for addressing outlet density are also suggested. Available at: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/aoda/alcdensity.htm.
The state expert on alcohol-related policy change is Julia Sherman, coordinator of the Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project. Julia has compiled more recent data (2015-16) on alcohol licenses by county; contact her for an Excel file and excellent, free technical assistance on this topic.
Outreach to Taverns
Coming soon.
Because men are more likely to utilize firearms to complete suicide, restricting access to lethal means is critical. Learn more about Means Restriction >>
Mental Health America of Wisconsin coordinates Prevent Suicide Wisconsin under a contract with the Department of Health Services.

I'm loving all the white space on this card....something I don't normally do.

Girls at the Pool
I mean, how could you not? Joy is the happiest kid in the waiting room, practically pogo-sticking up and down in her little swimsuit and squealing. The sheer delight continues through her one-on-one lesson, as she cavorts with her smiling teacher. Sometimes she gives the teacher a run for her money, too, lunging for the lovely stimmy pool dividers. At least she doesn't need an extra staffer to keep her from taking off at a run during jump-in practice like she did when we first started the swimming thing! But it's also during jump-ins that one notices the tracking-device around Joy's ankle.
I had noticed her daughter too.
One of the older students, doing racing-dives and more complex strokes (butterfly!) with a bunch of classmates in the long lane at the other side of the pool. Young teen, maybe, with a not-yet-a-woman-but-getting-there kind of shape. Obviously very fond of her male teacher, hanging on him noticeably -- what would have been cute in a first-grader was beginning to shade into the inappropriate for a 13-ish-year-old who didn't quite seem to have figured out the new boundaries. He was patient with her.
Yesterday in the pool observation area, another mother was sitting near me, obviously watching Joy and her teacher, the closest people in the pool. Joy's teacher nudged her to poolside, and Joy climbed out all on her own, moves that her teacher had had to help with just a couple weeks ago. Great concentration and effort.
"Hardest-working kid in the pool," I commented proudly to the other mom.
"Oh, is that your daughter?" she responded, and proceeded to amply reward my compliment-fishing.
And then she said, "Autism?"
I nodded. "Autism, and a few things more."
"My daughter's on the spectrum too. PDD-NOS. That's her in the far lane, green suit, just diving in."
Yes, that girl.
That girl had never had the one-on-one lessons that Joy has now, but her mom said that watching Joy had some very familiar feel to it. How her daughter reacted differently to the water than the other (much younger back then) kids in her class. How the sensory issues made such a difference, and then in her daughter's case the emotional part was huge too.
And now she's doing the butterfly and looking just like the other kids in class, with the slight exception of hanging just a smidge too much on her teacher. She won't likely swim on a competitive level, said mom, but she loves it and it's great exercise.
"It gets better. It really does!" she said.
I can see it from here. Joy is doing so well, we can track her progress at the pool by the week...
And yesterday she got another achievement-ribbon. I'll use the image of the one she got in February to illustrate, but the new one is like unto it -- a Level 2 / Guppy ribbon, in the "Becoming More Independent" category. Her new achievement is "Swim 3-5 Feet." Unassisted, between 2 platforms, no feet on the pool bottom.
I look forward to the day Joy can do the butterfly the full length of the pool. And if she hangs a little too much on her teacher, well, she won't be the only awesome achiever who's ever done so.
8 comments:
Ahhh! Joy spreading the meaning of her name! Well, reading about her success in swimming is a joy! Well, you, JoyMama, are doing the 'spreading' here. Eloquently!
I also think about all the steps and means it took to get Joy to this point. And time. Time contributes to the process.
"It gets better. It really does!" she said.
Congrats to you both!

Awesome! My boy is like a fish in the water. He seems so calm and serene when in the pool.

Simply amazing. Amazing Joy, continuing to progress through her swim classes and gain skills while having so much fun. Amazing you for creating an environment in which she can succeed and her needs can be met. Amazing child who never had individual lessons but blossomed in swimming anyway and is not virtually indistinguishable from the other children as she swims the butterfly. Amazing lessons of love and patience and learning and time and faith.

TherExtras - I've been thinking a lot about the role that time plays in the various successes we've been seeing. She's growing up, my girl is!
Big Daddy - Hey there! Looks like we both have fishies -- what fun. But does your fishie-guy spout water from his mouth, too? Or drink enough of the pool that it affects the rest of the evening's bathroom routine? :-)
Bethany - "amazing" is an excellent word. Thank you.

How wonderful that your daughter is such a great swimmer! (I actually teach PT swim lessons for the YMCA...and do actually teach the "guppy" level ;)
Still incredibly miffed about the shenanigans in Waukesha County (the county in which I live, BTW). I finally felt I could walk with a spring in my step when hearing the results of Kloppenburg's victory. I am revolted at the corruption which continues to play out in our politics...both federally and statewide. (Sigh)

Very cool. Every time I read about Joy swimming I think how I must get Audrey into it. I must!

Does Exercise Boost Your Memory? It Might, But It Takes A While
Researchers have known for decades that exercise boosts memory, but according to a recent study, there might be a trick to getting the most out of your workout. Although it may be tempting to bring your books to the gym for efficiency's sake, researchers at the Donders Institute at the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands have found that exercise only improves memory consolidation if you hit the gym several hours after you learn something.
According to Science Daily, 72 participants took a memory test for the study, which was published in the journal Current Biology. After the test, which asked participants to memorize object locations on a computer screen, they were divided into three groups: One group performed half an hour of interval training directly afterward, another did so four hours later, and the third performed no exercise at all. Two days later, all three groups took the test again, this time while inside an MRI machine measuring their brain activity.
Interestingly enough, those who exercised after a delay remembered the most information, even in comparison to the other exercise group. Furthermore, researchers also found that these participants showed more activity in the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with learning and memory, when they answered questions correctly.
This is hardly the first study to suggest a link between exercise and memory. Previous research has shown that brief bursts of exercise are enough to improve short-term memory, and regular exercise may even increase the size of the hippocampus over time. There are many possible reasons for this link, ranging from exercise's positive effect on overall brain health to the presence of neurotransmitters like dopamine, which is implicated in memory consolidation and known to be boosted by exercise.
Researchers in the Netherlands study aren't sure why the delay affected memory, but further research might yield the answer. In the meantime, their results could turn out to be a useful study tactic for students — or maybe even for people who just can't keep up with where they put their keys.

Today is the last day that Ms Deb Hicks is at SAEPS and it is a sad day indeed. She has been an amazing e-Learning coach. Without her this blog would certainly not exist.
Deb was VERY patient in teaching me all that I needed to know. I was definitely not her easiest to teach pupil.
Thankfully (for everyone) Deb made the mysteries of technology manageable over many months. She was always cheerful when confronted with technological drama and and mini meltdowns. From iPads to Pinterest to blogging, Deb has been a constant mentor.
Thank you so much Deb. I wish you well in your new role in town and hope that you are greatly appreciated!

Western-inspired and crafted in luxurious leather, it looks rad with both flowy, romantic summer dresses, but it also upgrades a simple tee and the favorite pair of jeans.
BLOG SUICIDEMarch 11, 2016
According to a few super popular articles on Bloglovin I'm currently committing blog-suicide, because I'm lacking regular updates, daily outfits, showcasing the newest trends and being super engaging . But sometimes priorities just change and then you have to decide on what makes you feel the best. Since the beginning of the year and with the start of my contest-preparation, I find myself torn almost daily between "Am I spending an hour or two on the laptop this evening" or "Am I enjoying some time just for myself after a super exhausting day". These two questions were driving me nuts for weeks to be honest, and I was even toying with the thought of giving up on my blog. Continue Reading…
MY FITNESS JOURNEY: PART 3March 2, 2016
Today I'm not going to provide you with a form update, instead I wanted to address a topic that's quite of a big importance to me. As you know I only accept collaborations from brands whom I trust and who are sincere towards their customers. This means that I decline around 70% of the offers I receive, also because I often can't identify myself and the blog with them. So the past couple of days I've been contacted several times by different companies that sell, so-called, Detox-Skinny-Fit-Slim-Teas and Coffee. Now what's the fuzz with these?
IRRESISTIBLE MEFebruary 29, 2016
Happy Monday sunshines. I almost can't believe that there's finally a new outfit-post happening after an entire month of me being unable, unmotivated and way too lazy to shoot OOTD's and get them up on the blog. But at least my explanation for this lack of looks (read it here) was well received by you guys (thanks for that) and I guess I somehow made up for it by being extra active on Instagram and Snapchat the past weeks.

This post isn't about what my readers loved best. Sorry. That post already happened.
This post is about what my family loved best to eat this year. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few favorite recipes because I only share recipes here that my family really loved.
So...this really has to happen in no particular order
1. Korean Beef (cheap and easy!)
And we can't have all these main dishes without a little dessert...

About Us
We have been lovers of Art Nouveau and Art Deco design for many years and have been passionate collectors throughout that time. We source interesting and beautiful objects from all over the world, acquiring from other collectors, at auction or through dealers and agents that we have been fortunate enough to get to know over a long period of time. Although most of the items we offer were originally designed and made in European countries, many have subsequently travelled far and wide, so universal is their appeal.
We are not a bricks and mortar antique shop but an online business with our stock safely and securely stored elsewhere. Every item is quickly and easily available for us to show to a prospective customer by appointment or to carefully and speedily package and despatch by arrangement when possible. We realize that, to collectors, condition is all important. Everything we offer for sale is described as accurately and honestly as possible. We do not offer fakes or copies and if we know that an item has undergone any degree of restoration, this will be pointed out in the description. It does, however, go without saying that anything originally dating from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras is now between 70 odd and 120 odd years old and so individual pieces will therefore, in different ways, often show some inevitable signs of age, use or wear.

But these are all things that have historically not been hallmarks of an 'outsourcing provider' mentality. At Daitan we believe, and have shown, that Agile can be very successfully embraced in an outsourced software development relationship. And that there are enormous benefits that can result in terms of customer and product success.

Mommy Blogger is even worse! I'm not the first to admit it and I dare say I won't be the last but when someone asks if I'm a blogger, I cringe a little. Blogger is a dirty word! Lately, I've been invited on to the auld radio to chat to the lovely people based on some of my articles in the auld newspapers, and if I'm introduced as a blogger rather than a freelance writer, euuggghhh, my insides churn a little. Not that I'm embarrassed to write a blog but rather for the misconceptions that come with being a "blogger".
"Oh you're a blogger?" they ask with the whimsical intonation of "isn't that nice."
Well actually, it is nice but it's also damn bloody hard work. It's not as though a simple blog post can be hashed out in twenty minutes and go viral. It's a full time job if you want it to be a success. It's a diary if you want to keep it between you and the dog. Blogging is what you make it and how much time you're able to put into it.
I've struggled massively with my blog content lately – for which I must apologise because I know I lost my voice amongst the random posts and the wayward track of the ups and downs of life but I've found my way back. Being called a blogger has a way of sounding demeaning or cutesy. As though bloggers dont have a skill or talent in crafting blog posts, or rather insightful articles. Bloggers are just messing about, aren't they?
It may be that my attitude towards writing has changed since writing is my actual job. My career. The road I always wanted to speed through and the road I've veered onto with the oh so many potholes. But blogging is a skill. Writing is a craft. Put the two together and you have a very talented individual if you ask me. But "ah isn't that nice that you can write your blogs." Ugh
I'm still a tad nervous of being introduced as a blogger rather than a freelance writer or journalist. Almost as though the term waters down my professionalism. I admire my fellow bloggers so much. Mostly because they are much better bloggers than me and have managed to find a balance with it all. I still juggle my blog like the clown at the circus. My fellow bloggers are beautiful writers, strong voices and dynamic people!
They deserve the kudos, the praise, the admiration for the websites they have built, the words they write, the following they have gathered.
"And what do you write about?" we're sometimes asked as though we must be wracking our brains all day every day trying to find something interesting to write about. Something more than about how batman fell into my coffee.
But I've learnt that sometimes it doesn't particularly matter what you write, how you write or whether your words spilled out in a confusing mess which only you can understand. You could write a 1000 word post and one sentence might strike a cord with only one reader. And isn't that a success? It is to me.
For me blogging is about connecting, making a difference in someone's life. Not in the world but in a life. And that matters. I won't move mountains or even shake the trees but I might catch someone's breathe every once in a while.
I still say I'm a fairly shit blogger but a decent writer so if I'm to be judged on my blog rather than my bylines I hope I'll still get work! I haven't so much as neglected my blog in the last year but have struggled to keep it fresh. My shitty bloggeritis comes from time. And being a mom blogger (double cringe) with two kids prancing around the refrigerator all day long, I have very little time to focus on keeping everything clean, new and current. On top of that, I stare at the blank page and wonder what the flipping heck do my handful of readers want to read about? Surely I've covered pregnancy, Mental Health and crying into my coffee enough at this point.
Two years into blogging and my writing has changed, my voice has grown and my thoughts are often introverted nuance. And I like it. But I'd also like to feel confident in saying that I'm a freelance writer AND a blogger. I'm not sure that day will come because blogging doesn't have the respect it fully deserves. We're voices in a crowd.
The crowd can be loud.
What's new in the world of blogging and most importantly, the one thing I truly struggle with as a blogger lately, does my opinion matter? Does anyone really care what I have to say? Who hears my voice?
FYI the Boots Maternity and Infant Awards Public Vote has opened and you can view the list of awesome parenting bloggers who made the longlist for 2018. I'm proud to be on the list and if you fancy voting for me or any of my fellow bloggers then please do. You can vote once a day so do what I'm doing and share some votes around!

The volume concludes with a set of guidelines for optimal content analysis research, and suggests ways in which the field can accommodate new technologies and new ways of using media. Developed for researchers in communication, media, and public health, this unique resource demonstrates how the variety of decisions researchers make along the way allows the exploration of traditions, assumptions and implications for each varying alternative and ultimately advances the science of content analysis research.


text: 2008/11/20 ricardo filipe <ricardo_barbano at hotmail.com>: > hi rob. Hi Ricardo, > i have some dead stores in advapi32 files that i would like to clarify. > first, what do you want to do on lines 173 and 194 of cred.c? Line 173 is: ret = RegQueryValueExW(hkey, wszUserNameValue, 0, &type, (LPVOID)credential->UserName, &count); if (ret == ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) { credential->UserName = NULL; ret = ERROR_SUCCESS; <--- Here } else if (ret != ERROR_SUCCESS) return ret; else if (type != REG_SZ) return ERROR_REGISTRY_CORRUPT; else buffer += count; You can just remove that redundant assignment and the then redundant braces. Line 193 is: ret = read_credential_blob(hkey, key_data, credential->CredentialBlob, &count); if (ret == ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) { credential->CredentialBlob = NULL; ret = ERROR_SUCCESS; <--- Here } else if (ret != ERROR_SUCCESS) return ret; The same applies, although the distance from the use of ret again is quite large, which increases the risk of bugs being introduced in the future. However, since the pattern in this function is to check the return value immediately after use and to not keep it for later, I think the risk is small. > now, there are also 3 dead assignments in cred.c, lines 992, 199 and 1064. i > didn't understand what you meant in your last email about my patch that > removed dead code in ole32, so since this is dead code i think i can remove > it, but i'm not sure anymore since you confused me. These are the same types of issue as was highlighted in rpcrt4. The way I see it is that there is a pattern in this function where data is being copied, the buffer pointer being updated and the buffer length used being updated and I see no need to break that pattern for the last case. Yes, there is a redundant assignment, but it doesn't matter - it isn't a bug and may help prevent a bug in the future just in case in the code does need to be changed or if the code is copy and pasted. -- Rob Shearman
