Marinated lamb or pork with fragrant spices
First, make about 8 long incisions through the fat of the butterflied leg of lamb or pork, to allow the marinade to soak in.
Heat a pan. Add the cumin and the coriander seeds, and cook for about |half a minute, until they're toasted, then add the black peppercorns and the cardamom seeds, and toss in the pan for a few seconds.
Remove the pan from the heat and crush the toasted cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns and cardamom seeds coarsely. Mix with the chilli powder, the grated or crushed garlic cloves, whichever you're using, the olive oil and the balsamic or red wine vinegar, whichever you are using. Place the butterflied leg of lamb or pork in a large shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat and rub it into the flesh. Leave it for a few hours, if possible, rubbing the marinade into the meat every so often.
When you're ready to cook the meat, lift the meat from the marinade and let the excess drain off, then season the meat with sea salt, and cook it on the barbecue.
To cook the butterflied leg, place it quite far (about 20cm (8in)) from the coals. It will take about 55-60 minutes |to cook. Baste it with the marinade a few times while it's cooking.
Rest the meat for 10 minutes, then carve it.
You can also roast the butterflied leg of lamb or pork, in all of the marinade, in an oven, preheated to 200°C, 400°F, Gas 6. It will take about 1-1½ hours. Baste the meat with the marinade regularly. Again, make sure that you rest the meat before carving it.

Last Wednesday evening, we attended a very interesting wine dinner at Flutes @ National Museum organized by the Appetite magazine. Kenny Leong, Wine Editor at Appetite magazine, and his team tasted about 100 Chardonnay before picking their top 10 for the night's blind tasting.
Chardonnay is the most popular and diverse white wine grape and it is grown in virtually every wine-producing region in the world. It is one of the principal grapes used to produce Champagne and is second, only behind Pinot Meunier in plantings within Champagne. If you are new to white wine and are confused with the different white wine varietals, chances are you would be served a glass of Chardonnay when you order a glass of House white wine in a restaurant. That's how common it is.

Poynton is a town in Cheshire, England, on the easternmost fringe of the Cheshire Plain 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Manchester, 7 miles (11 km) north of Macclesfield, and 5 miles (8 km) south of Stockport.
The first mention of the manor of Poynton is in 1289. Coal was mined in Poynton from the 16th century, and the collieries, under the ownership of the Lords Vernon from 1832 until their closure in 1935, were the largest in Cheshire. Consequent urbanisation and socioeconomic development necessitated better transport links; these came with the completion of the Macclesfield Canal through Poynton in 1831 and the arrival of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway in 1845 and the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway in 1869. In the late 20th century, Poynton became a commuter town for Manchester. The population has nearly trebled since 1945, to 14,260 in 2011.[1]
The name of Poynton is of Old English derivation. It does not appear in the Domesday Book of 1086. The first mention of the manor of Poynton is in 1289 when it was part of the barony of Stockport. Past spellings include Ponynton and Poynington[2] The Warren family held the manor from before 1386, when Edward de Warren married Cicely de Eton of Poynton and Stockport, until 1801, when Sir George Warren, the last surviving male, died. He was succeeded by his daughter, Lady Warren Bulkeley. She died childless in 1826 when she left the estate to Frances Maria Warren,[3] Lady Vernon.[2] The Lords Vernon held the estate until the final sale in 1920.[4]
Coal is found outcropping to the east of Towers Road, which corresponds to the line of the Red Rock Fault at the surface. The earliest record to be found is a lease dated 28 February 1589, which talks of the "Coal pit at Wourthe lately occupied by George Finche". This could be worked on the surface then by shallow shafts, and later by deeper shafts with waterwheels or steam engines operating pumps and winding gear. In the late 18th century, the Warrens of Poynton co-operated with the Leghs of Lyme to work the Cannel and Sheepwash seams at Norbury Hollow.[5] Initially, the mines were pumped using waterwheels driven by the Norbury Brook; atmospheric steam engines were then used and then condensing engines thus allowing deeper pits to be sunk. Output in 1789 was over 23,586 tonnes (26,000 tons), rising to a production of 221,056 tonnes (243,673 tons) in 1859, an amount believed unlikely to have been surpassed.[6] The Poynton Collieries were substantial, and the coal rights were held by the Warren family who leased them the Wrights and the Claytons. The canal, and new roads and railway lines were used to remove the coal.[nb 1] In 1826, the estate passed to George John Venables Vernon, 4th Lord Vernon who decided in 1832 to manage the mines himself.[5] In 1856 it was estimated that there was a reserve of 15,163,027 tons which would supply 245,000 tons for 61 years. This was to be supplied by the Park Round Pit, and the Park Oval Pit both working the Four Foot and Five Foot Seam and the Anson Pit and the Nelson Pit which were working the Accommodation Seam.[7] The pits had good transport links to their principal markets, cotton mills around Manchester. With the Lancashire Cotton Famine in 1861, and the subsequent recession, the price of coal collapsed, and the output dropped 112,840 tons, leading to worker redundancies. A new shaft, the Lawrance Pit, was sunk at Park in 1885, raising the output to 216,362 tons and paying for itself within a year.[6] However the costs were rising and the closure of the Norbury Pits resulted in a constant ingress of water. In 1926 production was down to 80,146 tons. The 1926 General strike lasted for 17 weeks in Poynton and the men went back to work as the collieries would have closed due to the cost of pumping. The collieries closed on 30 August 1935; 250 men were made redundant. Eighty were offered jobs in the Kent coalfield and some secured employment with Avro at Woodford.[8] The Anson Colliery is now the site of the Anson Engine Museum; all other shafts have been capped and Park Pit has been levelled.[9]
The Macclesfield Canal was originally proposed in 1765 but construction did not start until 1826 due to opposition from outside parties. The canal was designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1831.[10] Sir George Warren was a promoter of the extension of the turnpike road from Manchester by way of Hazel Grove to Sandon, Staffordshire where it joined what is now the A51 road. The Manchester and Birmingham Railway opened a line through Poynton in 1845,[4] which now forms part of the London–Manchester main line.[11] The Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway opened in 1869 with stations at Higher Poynton and Middlewood; it closed in 1970.[12] The line is now a footpath called the Middlewood Way.[12]
In the late 18th century, the Pickford family developed their family business of waggoners on the London-to-Manchester route with The Birches Farm at Poynton as its headquarters.[4] The business thrived and they relocated to London in 1823. Pickfords is today one of the best-known removal firms in the United Kingdom.
From the 1870s, private house-building gathered pace and gradually Poynton became a commuter town for workers in the Manchester conurbation. Since the Second World War several housing estates have been built by both the local authorities and private developers.
The population has risen from 5,000 to almost 15,000 since 1945.[1]
From 1974 until the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, Poynton was administered by three tiers of local government: the parish council of Poynton-with-Worth, Macclesfield Borough Council and Cheshire County Council. Poynton-with-Worth (a civil parish) was made up of three electoral wards and was created in 1880 by uniting the hitherto separate civil parishes of Poynton and Worth.[13] In 2009 the Parish Council resolved to become a Town Council and elect a Mayor, creating Poynton with Worth Town Council.
Cheshire East Council took over the responsibilities of the borough council and the county council on 1 April 2009.
Poynton is represented on Cheshire East Council in two two-member electoral wards called Poynton West, and Poynton East and Adlington by four councillors,[14] all members of the Conservative Party. Cheshire East Council has 82 councillors in 52 wards, of whom 50 are Conservative, 14 are Labour, 4 are Liberal Democrats and 14 others.[15] Poynton is in the Macclesfield Constituency of the United Kingdom Parliament, which was represented by Sir Nicholas Winterton, a Conservative, from 1971 to 2010, and has since been held by David Rutley, also a Conservative.
Poynton is located at SJ925835 53°20′53″N 2°06′50″W / 53.348°N 2.114°W, between the Norbury Brook and the Poynton Brook at the easternmost limit of the Cheshire Plain. The land is between 88 metres (289 ft) and 190 metres (620 ft) above sea level. The town is approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) SSE of Manchester, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Manchester Airport, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from junction 5 of the M56 motorway and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from junction 3 of the M60 motorway. The west of the parish is predominantly residential, buffered from Hazel Grove and Bramhall by the North Cheshire Green Belt. To the south of the town are two business parks but here and to the east it is rural in nature, bounding on the former deer park of Lyme Hall.[14] The A6 trunk road passes to the north of the parish, and the Macclesfield Canal runs north/south along the 155 metres (509 ft) contour to the east of the parish.
The town straddles the Red Rock Fault. Its 200 metres (660 ft) downthrow to the west brings the Permo–Triassic sandstones and mudstones of the Cheshire Plain up against the Millstone Grit and shales of the Peak District. To the immediate east of the fault are the coal measures of the Carboniferous period which, unlike those in the Lancashire Coalfield, are missing the top layers. Outcrops of the Middle Coal Measures are present here. Coal from these strata, particularly the Four Foot Mine (or seam), the Five Foot Mine and the Accommodation Mine, was mined in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[5] The lower ground, including most of Poynton, is covered by glacial till left by the retreating ice sheet at the close of the last ice age.
Woodford Aerodrome to the west is owned by BAE Systems and has a Met Office weather station. Woodford's weather station recorded a temperature of −17.6 °C (0.3 °F) on 8 January 2010, during the Winter of 2009–10 in Great Britain and Ireland.[16]
At the time of the 2011 census, the population of the parish of Poynton with Worth was 14,260. The ethnic grouping of Poynton was 97% white, 1.1% Asian, 0.5% Mixed Race, and 0.2% other groups. Religious division was 70.4% Christian, 21.4% no religion, 0.3% Muslim and 0.8% other religions. 59.6% of the population over 16 were married.[1]
Culture and community[edit]
Poynton Co-op was founded in 1862,[17] staying independent until February 1992. There were many Friendly Societies, Burial Clubs, Workmen's Club[18] and the Miners' Union. The Methodist Chapel was established in 1847 followed by the Baptists and Primitive Methodists chapels; together with St George's Church they were the social centres of the village. Lord Vernon opened the first school in 1838 which was extended as the number of children attending it grew, and this building is now used as the Poynton Youth and Community Centre.
The Poynton Show is held every August bank holiday weekend.[19] It started in 1885,[20] as an agricultural show, and has grown in size; 35,000 people visited the show in 1970. It offers a range of events in the main arena such as stunt riding and aerobatics, a fairground, exhibitions and competitive events.[20]
The St George's Singers is large choral society founded in 1956. The choir has strong links with the Royal Northern College of Music and Chetham's School of Music. It has sung in Helsinki, Tallinn, Kraków, Budapest and Érd; more locally the choir's annual Singing Day regularly attracts over 200 singers to learn and perform choral music.[21] The Vernon Building Society (Poynton) Brass Band first started within the Poynton coal-mining community and was supported by the mine owners, the Vernon family. Records from 1832 stating that new uniforms had been purchased by Lady Vernon suggest that it has existed for over 160 years.[22]
Poynton has two Anglican churches: St Martin's, High Poynton, and St George's, which occupies a prominent position in the town centre. St George's church dates from 1859 and is in the Victorian Gothic style; the steeple was added in 1884. The two churches have active congregations and run services, youth groups and a children's group.
Poynton is twinned with Érd in Hungary.[23]
Sir George Warren bought the Worth estate in 1792. Worth Hall, now redeveloped as flats,[24] was originally the home of the Downes family of Worth; it lies within Davenport Golf Club. Several halls were built in Poynton Park, each one then demolished to make way for a new hall. The final hall, Poynton Towers, was demolished in the 1930s. The ornamental lake, known locally as Poynton Pool, was created in the 1760s by Sir George Warren, who dammed a tributary of Poynton Brook as part of his landscaping of the park. The dam itself served as the foundation for the turnpike.[25]
Poynton Coppice is a designated local nature reserve.[26] Other landmarks include St George's Church,[27] with the town's war memorial in its churchyard,[28] Park Colliery and Anson Pit.[8]
The Macclesfield Canal, a canal with only one flight of locks, was first proposed in 1765, but was not commenced until 1826. Completed in 1831, it joins the Peak Forest Canal in Marple with the Trent and Mersey Canal near Kidsgrove and forms a part of the Cheshire Ring.[29] The route was chosen so it could pass close to the Poynton Colleries, to transport coal to Macclesfield for the steam engines and 5000 houses. It shortened the canal journey from Manchester to London by 25 miles (40 km) and allowed easy carriage of coal to the cotton mills at Dukinfield.[30]
Poynton lies to the south of the A6 road. This was the favoured London to Manchester route in the Late Middle Ages as it avoided the wetter land of the Cheshire Plain. This is shown in John Ogilby's road atlas of 1675. It was improved by the formation of a turnpike trust in 1724. In 1760, Sir George Warren, the Leghs of Adlington and James Pickford promoted a new turnpike through Poynton with Worth from Hazel Grove to Sandon in Staffordshire on the A51 road. This provided a link to Macclesfield. It is now known as the A523, or locally as the London Road. Later, the Chester Road, the A5149, provided a link to Wilmslow.[25] The town is within 5 miles of the M60 motorway at Stockport and M56 motorway at Manchester Airport.
The Manchester and Birmingham Railway opened a line through Poynton in 1845, which now forms part of the West Coast Main Line between London and Manchester.[11] Poynton station on this line offers local services to Manchester and Macclesfield. It is served by an hourly off-peak rail service to Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester Picadilly Monday–Saturday, with extra trains at peak times on weekdays. The Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway was opened in 1869,[12] with stations at Higher Poynton and Middlewood. This line was closed in 1970, and the line has been converted into a footpath and bridleway called the Middlewood Way.[12]
In December 2011, the village road network was reconstructed at the junction of Chester Road/Park Lane and London Road, creating the first "double roundel" for a high-traffic intersection.[31] Similar to a roundabout, the new junction reduces the four-lane approaches to two lanes, allowing pedestrians to cross quickly, and safely allowing the elimination of traffic signals. Multiple coloured and textured cobbles separate traffic from pedestrian areas, however it functions as a shared space, allowing pedestrians to cross anywhere that feels safe. According to the town, businesses have seen increased foot traffic, and congestion has been considerably lessened. The total cost was £4 million pounds.[31]
Cheshire East Council is responsible for co-ordinating public transport. It runs an Integrated Transport Service based in Crewe. Poynton with Worth parish council was one of the Cheshire parishes that were part of Selnec PTE created by the Transport Act 1968, but was not included in Greater Manchester when it was formed on 1 April 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act 1972.[32] As a result, special ticketing arrangements are in place within the parish. Bus services through the town to Macclesfield and Stockport are operated by Selwyn Travel.
Education in Poynton is now run by Cheshire East Council; it was formerly run by Cheshire County Council. Due to the proximity to the border some parents choose to have their children educated in Stockport, or educate them privately.
There are 5 primary schools, Poynton High School, and All Hallows Catholic College in nearby Macclesfield. Sixth form students are able to attend Poynton High School's sixth form, Aquinas College in Stockport or Marple College.

Did you know that 26% of the iPhone 4 is made by Samsung?
Shock and horror for Apple fanboys. It turns out that a whopping 26% of the gorgeous and magical iPhone 4 is actually manufactured by mobile handset competitor Samsung, based in Korea.
The highly-prized 'brain' of the iPhone 4 (that includes the RAM, memory chips and A4 chipset) is made entirely by Samsung and contributes to 26% of the phone's total component cost. This isn't a match made in heaven any longer though, as Apple and Samsung have been at each other's legal throats recently, fighting about similarities between Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Apple's iPad. Which is probably a good indication that Apple has plans to part ways with the Korean tech company for future components, including the upcoming A6 chipset.
And the outsourcing doesn't end there. The iPhone 4′s 3.5-inch 'retina display' is understood by industry insiders to be manufactured by another one of Apple's mobile handset competitors, LG.
With all the outsourcing going on, and everyone wanting their piece of the profit pie, it's hardly surprising that the iPhone comes at such a high price. According to the infographic below, the iPhone 4 costs around $178 to produce. Throw in the gazillion-dollar marketing budget, and a healthy 200-300% profit margin for Steve Jobs and the boys, and you're looking at the price tag you see in the iStore.

Telemedicine and Health Care Services
Telemedicine and Health Care Services
Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an integral part of health service infrastructure and helps increase process efficiency and efficacy. FZI projects have shown that success in this field depends not only on the quality of the technology that is used but also on the way in which it is embedded in processes, structures, and networks. This is why the FZI is increasingly working on developing appropriate service concepts, planning algorithms and methods for evaluating productivity and quality. The primary focus is on costs and profitability in order to achieve a high cost-benefit ratio for patients, physicians, and health care and emergency services while keeping costs as low as possible.
A major emphasis of the work at the FZI is on telemedicine. Telemedicine is the provision of health care services using ICT when the patient and physician are not in the same location. The FZI develops and evaluates needs-based technologies and services in various projects with industrial and medical partners.

Ford and General Motors Could Have a Spectacular 2016 – Motley Fool
U.S. sales of cars and light trucks are on pace to exceed 17.5 million in 2015, finally surpassing the industry sales record of 17.4 million set in 2000. With sales hitting a record high this year, many pundits seem to think it will be all downhill from here for U.S. auto giants like Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM).
However, industry conditions remain very strong, and both Ford and GM are well-positioned from a product perspective to post even higher profits in 2016 in the critical North American market.
Three things to cheer about
From an industrywide perspective, there are three key factors that should keep auto sales growing in 2016.
First, gas prices are even lower heading into 2016 than they were a year ago. The average price of regular gasoline in the U.S. has been hovering around $2.00/gallon for the past week, down from about $2.30/gallon a year earlier. Cheap gas is putting money into drivers' pockets and allowing them to afford bigger vehicles.
Second, despite steady auto sales growth in the past few years, the average age of cars on the road hit a new record of 11.5 years in 2015. Consumers have never really "caught up" from the sharp auto sales slowdown of the Great Recession. There's plenty of pent-up auto replacement demand to drive strong sales for the next several years.
Third, interest rates remain extremely low. While the Fed finally raised short-term interest rates this month, it also forecast a very gradual increase in rates going forward. 10-year interest rates have risen a bit since January, but they are still lower than where they were for most of 2014. This means auto financing remains very affordable.
GM can keep the momentum going
General Motors is releasing a slew of new and refreshed vehicles that should drive another year of solid sales in 2016. The highly profitable Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups have been strong performers this year — particularly the Silverado, which racked up more than half a million sales through the end of November. Both models were refreshed for the 2016 model year, which should keep consumer interest high.
Muscle cars are another beneficiary of low gas prices. However, GM's Chevy Camaro has lost ground this year to the Ford Mustang, which was updated for the 2015 model year. The Camaro has gotten its own redesign for 2016, which should help it catch up.
Finally, at the other end of the spectrum, GM is releasing new versions for much of its basic car lineup, including the Chevy Malibu, Chevy Cruze, and Chevy Spark. These aren't high-profit models, but GM believes the redesigned Malibu and Cruze will produce $1,500-$2,000 in additional variable profit per vehicle compared to the current versions. That would boost GM's bottom line by hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Ford poised to bounce back
While GM has been reporting record results in North America this year, Ford is likely to fall short of the peak North American operating profit of $8.8 billion it achieved in 2013.
However, Ford's results for the first half of the year were held back by production constraints for the 2015 Ford F-150. More recently, production and sales of Ford's flagship truck have surged, culminating in double-digit sales growth in November. With inventory returning to normal levels, Ford should be able to sell significantly more pickups next year.
Meanwhile, Ford has redesigned its Explorer and Edge midsize SUVs in the past year. Ford has gotten double-digit sales growth from both models this year, and the low fuel price environment puts it in good position to continue the momentum in 2016. Furthermore, a redesigned version of the popular Ford Escape crossover — an even higher-volume model than the Explorer or Edge — will arrive next spring.
2015 was good, but 2016 could be better
In short, the factors that drove strong U.S. auto sales in 2015 — cheap gas, low interest rates, and an aging U.S vehicle fleet — seem likely to remain in place for 2016.
GM and Ford, the two largest U.S. automakers, are well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable industry conditions. Both companies will have relatively fresh product portfolios, especially in the lucrative truck and SUV segments. This is a recipe for more sales and profit growth for GM and Ford in their largest market in 2016.

Canberra Day 2020 and 2021
Canberra Day is a public holiday held on the second Monday of March each year in Canberra, to celebrate the naming ceremony of Australia's capital which took place on 12 March 1913.
|9 Mar
|Canberra Day
|8 Mar
|Canberra Day
Canberra Day is celebrated with a public holiday for all people in the Australian Capital Territory, and there are many events that take place during March each year as part of the Canberra Day celebrations.
Canberra Day Events
- The Canberra Festival – multiple events taking place throughout March in Canberra.
- The Chief Minister's Canberra Day Awards Ceremony
Until 2007, Canberra Day was celebrated on the third Monday of March each year. In 2007 the date was moved to the second Monday of March, so that in future years, the celebration would fall closer to the original date of 12 March.
Canberra is Australia's National Capital, and is located in the Australian Capital Territory. It is frequently referred to as Australia's 'bush capital' because of large areas of natural vegetation that have been retained between areas developed as suburbs.
A national capital separate to Sydney or Melbourne was initially discussed in the late 19th century, and New South Wales transferred land to the newly formed commonwealth in 1911 for this purpose. Canberra is a planned city, designed by American architect Walter Burley Griffin (after whom the lake is named). Almost the total number of people living in ACT today live in Canberra itself.

UPDATE 𝕺n May 10-12 I'll be performing in J.M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World. The play is considered one of the great works of Irish literature (a very coveted field - it would be no exaggeration to say that Irish literature is possibly the most prolific in the world), and caused riots upon its premier in the Abbey Theatre in 1907, led by one of the founders of Sinn Fein, Arthur Griffiths.

We talk to our Which? Trusted traders about how to tell if you've got a mouse problem, and how to get rid of them.
As well as causing damage to your home, mice carry disease – making an infestation potentially dangerous as well as unpleasant. In addition to making the most of available food, mice also like to gnaw on plastic and wooden furniture, and have even been known to cause fires by chewing on electrical cables.
If you think you caught a glimpse of a mouse but can't be certain, try putting down some talcum powder on pieces of paper or cardboard in the corners of your rooms. You'll see footprints or tail marks if there's a problem. Also, you'll be able to see how many rooms are affected.
If you've got a problem with mice, Which? Trusted Traders has endorsed pest controllers in your local area.
Mice are often more active at night. If you don't see them, you can frequently hear them scratching around. There are several other tell-tale signs to look out for, too.
A house mouse only eats 3-4g of food each day, but will produce up to 80 droppings. Fresh mouse droppings are black, shiny and the size of a large grain of rice. They produce droppings as they're moving around, so you can find them on the kitchen surfaces or elsewhere in your property.
Holes and gnawing marks
It's common to see little bits of damage in lots of locations, rather than a lot of damage in a single place. Mice will often gnaw on packets of food. Look out for holes in cereal boxes and bags of rice. A mouse may also damage boxes, wallpaper or furniture.
Unpleasant smell
A mouse infestation is often accompanied by a distinctive musty, pet-shop type smell.
You can often hear mice scratching around at night, when they tend to be more active.
It's always best to work on deterring mice in the first place, rather than removing an infestation.
There's a range of deterrents on the market, although our Which? Trusted traders don't tend to favour sonic, electronic repellents. 'Unless the sonic device changes in pitch regularly, the mice just get used to it,' The Pest Controller's Philip Voller said. 'It's just like someone having the radio on in the background for them.'
Having a cat in the house can help. 'Mice won't be as brave if you've got a cat,' Which? Trusted trader Pestmaster,'s Greg Ferguson fold us, 'so you're less likely to see them. Not all cats are interested in catching mice, though.'
The best preventative measure is to close up the holes they use to access the property, but that is a big challenge. A mouse seeking food, warmth and a place to nest can squeeze through gaps of 6mm and larger.
'An adult mouse can get through any hole you can stick your finger through,' Philip Voller explained. 'It can be tough to find and block all these spaces.'
'Most mice tend to come from the kitchen, under the kick boards where the pipes go underneath the floor,' Greg Ferguson said, 'Often the areas around these pipes aren't 100% sealed.'
It's worth investigating the following areas.
Brickwork, air vents, grilles and gratings
Go outside and have a careful look at your property. Look for cracks in brickwork, air vents, grilles or gratings.
Airbricks and grilles should never be sealed completely. Instead, buy a mesh with a 5mm or smaller lattice, and attach the edges using silicone sealant.
Holes and cracks
You can tackle small holes and cracks with sand and cement. You can fill larger holes, such as those left by plumbing work, with a combination of chicken wire and expanding foam.
Wooden doors
Modern PVC doors don't usually cause a problem, but wooden doors often have a gap at the bottom that's bigger than 6mm – ample space for a mouse to squeeze under. You can tackle this by fitting a 'bristle strip' or draught excluder to fill the space.
But don't leave your doors open. 'In the summer, mice will often just walk in through open doors or windows,' Philip Voller told us.
Climbing plants
Ivy or another plant that grows up the side of a house is a convenient ladder for mice to climb to a higher level.
There is little point sealing up the ground floor if there are other places for the mouse to enter higher up. If other mouse-control measures fail, you should consider removing climbing plants.
Avoid attractions
A pet's food bowl placed outside will attract mice, as will plastic bin bags – put those into a wheelie bin straight away wherever possible.
Keep your garden tidy. An overgrown garden will attract mice and other pests.
1. Poison
It is possible to put down poison yourself. However, our Which? Trusted traders don't recommend this, because of the danger of putting it in the wrong place. If this happens, it is ineffective at best, and at worst a danger to your family, pets or other animals.
The strength of over-the-counter poisons has reduced as people are more aware of the danger to the environment and the threat of building up resistance. On the whole you are better calling in a professional. Which? Trusted Traders has endorsed pest controllers in your area.
If you do choose to go ahead and put down poison yourself, ensure you read the instructions very carefully and abide by them to the letter. DIY shops will sell kits involving crystal-type substances on trays. Position the trays at the edges of rooms behind furniture. Ideally, they should be out of sight and, especially if you have children or pets, out of reach.
Be sure to remove all other sources of food first. Mice will need to be desperate for food before they will eat poison. They will eat wax crayons, bars of soap or cardboard first.
2. Mouse traps
Mouse traps should also be placed at the edges of a room. The orientation is important. 'The bar that springs down on to the mouse should be as close to touching the wall as possible,' Greg Ferguson explained. 'If you imagine the mouse running along in parallel with the wall, then the mouse will run across the trap.'
'I've had people complain that they've put down traps with cheese and the mice haven't touched them, but mice don't actually like cheese that much,' Philip Voller told us. 'That's come from Disney. A bit of chocolate or peanut butter is much more effective – Mars bars work well.'
It is possible to buy humane mouse traps, which trap the mouse in a box rather than kill it outright. However, this method is possibly not as humane as it seems.
'If you are going to use them, you must check them every 12 hours,' Philip said, 'otherwise the mouse could end up starving to death.' It's not good news even if you catch a mouse and release it in the nearest hedgerow. 'It will have no idea where the food sources are or where to hide, and it won't have its nest. Mice can't regulate their own temperature as they are so small, which is why they need to cover themselves in a nest,' Philip said. 'It will be extremely stressful for the mouse and the chances are it will die anyway.'
3. Sticky board
'This can be useful if you've got a really big infestation, but people have to dispatch the mouse themselves, once it's been caught, which a lot of people don't like,' Philip said.
If DIY methods fail, or you believe an infestation is becoming serious, you should call a pest-control professional, who has the experience to deal with the problem.
A three-treatment job, which is standard practice, will usually cost between £125 and £200. The bigger, national pest-control firms charge more, though.
Which? Trusted Traders endorses pest-control businesses, to ensure they operate according to the latest regulations and will treat their customers fairly. You can use our online search function to find a pest controller in your area.

To make a spark that can light a fire, all you need is flint, tinder, and some good old fashioned friction. It's a fire-making method that's been around for thousands of years. But sparks are tiny, delicate things, so if you want to turn one into a roaring flame, you have to be deliberate about it. Directing a spark onto a pile of kindling won't do much; even placing one into a pile of small, thin tinder may not set it aflame, especially if it's damp. Thus, the best thing to do is to catch your spark in something slow-burning, but highly combustible, which can then light your tinder, which can then ignite your kindling, which can in turn set your larger logs ablaze. Going from spark to fire is all about working in deliberate stages.
What's your best bet for successfully initiating the first step in the process? Char cloth. Today we'll tell you what it is and the simple method of making a supply of your own.
What Is Char Cloth?
Char cloth has been used to make fires for centuries, and for good reason — it's lightweight, compact, easy to make, and highly effective in igniting tinder.
Char cloth is created through a process of pyrolysis, which is the "thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperature in the absence of oxygen." Basically, char cloth is created by combusting an organic material in a way that releases its gasses without burning it up completely.
The resulting substance has a low ignition temperature — just a single spark or point of heat can start it burning. What can be used as the source of that heat? An empty lighter, flint and steel, firesteel, a lens, even a condom can do the trick (see this article for more ways to make a fire without matches). Once the char cloth has been set off, it will ignite your tinder easier than had you employed the original spark/heat source directly to it. Char cloth smolders longer than a match, making it advantageous in getting slightly damp tinder going, and while matches can fail on a windy day, a sturdy breeze can actually help get a spark-ignited piece of char cloth going.
Char cloth can thus be a life-saver in survival situations and makes an excellent addition to one's camping supplies or bug out bag. And outside its fire-making benefits, making some is actually a pretty fun little science experiment!
How to Make Char Cloth
Supplies Needed:
- Sealable tin can. An empty, clean shoe polish can, Altoids tin, metal Band-Aid can (do they still make those?), etc. To make a larger batch of char cloth, you can use a coffee can sealed with foil on the top.
- 100% cotton material. An old t-shirt, pair of jeans, handkerchief, canvas, etc. Fabrics that contain artificial fibers will not result in a combustible material, so make sure it's 100% cotton. Other organic materials like burlap can work too.
- Scissors
- Nail, or other puncturing tool

University of Minnesota Health Cancer Care's head and neck cancer program provides you with multidisciplinary, comprehensive and compassionate care for your laryngeal cancer. Many of our physicians have been national leaders in research, including clinical trials coordinated right here, giving you access to the most current medical therapies.
In addition to providing traditional surgery on cancers of the head and neck, the University of Minnesota Health Cancer Care team continues to pioneer minimally invasive treatments. With transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for cancers of the mouth and neck, for example, physicians can resect tumors that otherwise would require a lip-split incision or mandibulotomy. Our surgeons also use TORS for reconstructive surgery involving a microvascular tissue transfer or free flap.
We also perform endonasal endoscopic surgery for tumors located in and around your sinuses or at the base of your skull. This eliminates external incisions, gives physicians improved visualization and access to deep lesions, and decreases complications from the surgery. We perform as many as 100 endoscopic endonasal skull base procedures every year. This procedure, along with TORS, results in less blood loss, less pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays and a faster return to normal life compared to traditional open surgery.

Did you know that you could once buy little boots for sheep, to protect their hooves? It was two shillings and eleven pence for a pair – or (for the more fashion-conscious sheep) three and six for a pair with on-trend zips.
And the little tan numbers are ceremonial boots for goats – so chic! I hope you like them as much as I do – the world seems a brighter place now I know sheep and goats once tripped about so well-shod.
They are from the Waterperry Rural Museum, in an old barn near Oxford. In a museum like this, the past seems a room of infinite corners. Each of these tools once solved a problem or simplified a task; each was precisely shaped to answer a need which is now forgotten or remote.
The collector himself picked out his favourite pieces. Leather over-shoes for horses mowing tennis courts – a device which distributed seeds evenly when bowed like a violin – giant wooden beads for shaping plumbing pipes – a contraption with whirling mirrors which attracted insects – bronze moulds for creating felt flowers and leaves to go on hats (pictured below).
It is good, every once in a while, to be reminded of the importance of craftsmanship and detail. And it is good, too, to remember that sheep once wore little zipped boots.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this powerful and uplifting novel, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over.
When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole back—including their son Owen's happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all.
Leanne has quietly ignored her husband's cheating for decades, but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole's all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai's effusive overtures—until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments.
An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl's Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness.
Praise for A Girl's Guide to Moving On
"Debbie Macomber's finest novel. Betrayal and sorrow can happen in any stage of life and, in this wonderful story, her very nimble hands weave a spectacular kaleidoscope of courage, struggles, and finally joyous redemption and reinvention. Macomber totally understands the human heart. I absolutely loved it!"—Dorothea Benton Frank, New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies
"Whispers a message of love, hope, and, yes, reinvention to every woman who has ever wondered 'Is that all there is?' I predict every diehard Macomber fan—as well as legions of readers new to the Macomber magic—will be cheering for Leanne and Nichole, and clamoring for more, more, more."—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Town, Ladies' Night, and Summer Rental

Last year, we went for a drive to Bendigo, Victoria and of course we stopped at the Dog on the Tuckerbox for a well deserved break in the holiday drive home. We enjoyed a refreshing Ginger beer and being tourists had our photo with the dog statue and also sipping our nice cold drink, as you do.
I've used a couple of punches to cut out the Bliss, the butterfly and the patterned paper.
I can't go past a rock and rolled butterfly in Marina Mist and Concord crush. So not only was the butterfly cut and punched but received an overlay of vellum so that you could still see the swirly patterned stamp underneath.
Oh the ribbon, yes that was a little trick we learnt at regional training last year.
Using a piece of tafetta ribbon you find a thread and simply pull it up to make a ruffle which creates that pretty ruffly edge... mmm not very straight but you can stick it down properly with sticky strip or mini glue dots of course.

Mark Hamill Had Different Ideas For The Ending Of The Force Awakens
Even if you love The Force Awakens and the new teaser for The Last Jedi, there's some undeniable room for disappointment in the recent Star Wars revival, mostly connected to missed opportunities. While J.J. Abrams had the chance to reunite Leia, Luke, and Han, he instead chose to keep Luke offscreen for most of The Force Awakens, revealing him only after Han bit the dust. (We still don't know if Luke and Leia cross paths in The Last Jedi, but now that Carrie Fisher is gone, future opportunities in that direction are also limited.) The disappointment of this is not lost on Mark Hamill, who recently made his frustrations clear to Fandango, going so far as to propose an alternate ending for The Force Awakens.
"I was reading and thought if Leia is trying to mentally contact me and she's not successful, she'll rush to his aid," he explained. "She'll get close to him and then get into some dire situation and that's when I show up for a big 'yay.' Save her life, then we rush to Han and are in the same position that Rey and Finn and Chewie are in. Too late to save him, but witnesses… because it would carry so much emotional resonance into the next film for us—his wife, his best friend—to witness, instead of two characters that have known him, what, 20 minutes? [Besides] Chewie. I thought that was a great missed opportunity."
Those are surprisingly critical words from one of the stars of The Last Jedi. However, based on his recent praise for writer/director Rian Johnson, you should expect no such complaints when Episode VIII arrives on December 15. Check out the teaser below:

New logistics equipment gives Lightning Support the edge
Story and photos by Sgt. Ian Ives
25th Sustainment Brigade Public Affairs
25th Infantry Division
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS — Lightning Support Soldiers with 536th Support Maintenance Company, 524th Combat Sustainment Spt. Battalion, 25th Sust. Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, showcased how the new Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) is used in their mobile maintenance team (MMT) to the brigade leadership, April 21.
The GCSS-Army is a new data management program that is being integrated into support units to change the way maintenance is performed in the field. This is the first time the MMT has used the new program for field maintenance.
"The purpose of the exercise was to validate this company's mobile maintenance capabilities for field maintenance in an expeditionary environment," said Capt. Joseph Langlinais, commander, 536th SMC. "The concept is having small teams who are masters of their trade that are fit, trained and disciplined to deploy and operate in the U.S. Army-Pacific area of operations."
The MMT spent more than eight weeks preparing for this validation by training with the GCSS-Army and perfecting working as a cohesive unit. The MMT is comprised of multiple echelons: a wrecker team, an armament repair team, and a communications and electronics repair team, among others.
"The biggest part of the train-up was the conversion from our old system to the GCSS-Army," said Sgt. Denorris Cloudy, a communications and electronics repair noncommissioned officer with 536th SMC. "It started with a few people going to schools and getting hands-on training, then those now subject matter experts came back to the company and trained everyone else. There was a lot of work that went into this, and we all worked very hard to make it happen."
Following the validation by Col. Gavin Lawrence, commander, 25th Sust. Bde., the Soldiers of the MMT from the 536th SMC will now prepare for their final test later this year during training exercise Lightning Forge. During this exercise, they will be tasked with providing maintenance in the field for more than two weeks to several infantry battalions throughout the 25th ID.
"With the integration of the GCSS-Army, our Mobile Maintenance Teams will now be able to transform the way Lightning Support Soldiers sustain our division," said Lawrence.

The Morning Show Summer Book Club is back, and we are so excited to dive into this year's book "A Story Unfinished" by local author Matt Mooney.
You may have heard the story on Oprah or the Today Show of Matt and Ginny's son Elliot's 99 days on earth. Elliot wasn't supposed to make it to full term due to a genetic disease. If he was born he would likely only live for a few hours or perhaps a few days. But Elliot was born and lived 99 days that changed his family forever.
In "A Story Unfinished" Matt recounts his family's journey through pain, redemption, and God's goodness even in the darkest days.
Matt and his wife Ginny founded 99 Balloons, which engages children with special needs right here in Northwest Arkansas and around the world.
We can't wait to dive into "A Story Unfinished" and hope you'll join us!

Kirsters Baish| During an interview with TMZ's Harvey Levin on Tuesday, Rap icon Kanye West described former President Barack Obama as the "opioids" of the black community. During the interview, West stated, "Obama was our opioids. It made us feel like everything was good."
He has a point. Obama was a bandaid for the black community. Much like the high one gets when taking opioids, the black community felt great thinking that someone was representing them. It was a feeling that they had never experienced before. West explained that African Americans held Obama in such a high regard that he actually began to alienate himself from the lower class.
The rapper went on, "The class war is one of the reasons why Trump won, because Obama was so high class that it stopped speaking to the middle and the lower class. He's so classy, and to break the class system, we have to start by loving ourselves."
Later in the interview, West stated that he sees a perception of Obama that the mainstream media and Hollywood elitists created. This perception made African American men all feel like they had to be this perfect version of themselves in order to be successful.
"This perfect idea of a superhero with Obama, or Michael Jordan — I want to show people that it is ok to screw up, and you still can make it through things," he stated.
Kanye explained that he had been receiving constant text messages and emails from friends, berating him for supporting Trump, yelling at him about all of the things that Trump has done. He reminded these Trump haters that Obama had done a lot of the same things.
"Black people have a tendency to focus and march when a white person kills a black person or wears a hat, but when it's 700 kids being killed in Chicago it's O.K. … There's been more focus and more marches about whites killing blacks than kids in Chicago killing each other," he reminded.
West confessed that he had developed an addiction to opioids after getting liposuction plastic surgery when he was prescribed painkillers as part of his recovery.
Fox News reports:
West's revelation is perhaps even more shocking since his mother, Donda West, died after undergoing various plastic surgery procedures including liposuction.
West, 40, says he got the surgery to look good so that the gossip site wouldn't make fun of him. He says he was prescribed pills for recovery, which he then developed an addiction to. The star said that two days before he was hospitalized for a mental breakdown, he was taking two pills per day. He claims that after his hospital stint, the amount of pills he was consuming jumped to seven pills per day.
Take a look at the controversial clip containing part of the interview below:

Diversity & Inclusion
St. Anne's Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
St. Anne's is committed to nurturing a learning community that is free from intolerance and prejudice. We seek to witness to the splendor of God's creation and to honor the dignity of the individual human spirit by including faculty, students, administrators, staff, and trustees from diverse cultural, racial, religious, family and economic backgrounds in our community. The rich diversities of people and the many perspectives they bring serve to enhance the quality of educational experiences at our school. An active diversity committee including teachers, parents and board members meets regularly.
At St. Anne's we seek to create an environment in which differences are honored and celebrated.
We believe that including people with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences enriches our community, makes our learning environment more intellectually stimulating, and helps children learn the crucial skill of working productively with people different from themselves.
We aspire to create a community in which diversity thrives through our classroom and programs, admissions, hiring, and board recruitment practices, our student and adult diversity committees, and our academic studies.
Together we seek to foster a community that is sensitive to issues of social justice, mindful of the experiences people of diverse backgrounds have in our school, and active in its pursuit of equity and justice within our school community, as well as beyond our campus borders.
Student Diversity Leadership Council
St. Anne's has a Student Diversity Leadership Council comprised of Middle School students and faculty advisors who joined together, starting in 2013, with the common goal of learning more about the similarities and differences of the people who make up our diverse community.
Council members hold meetings and attend workshops and conferences with the goal of furthering diversity education. Specific attitudes and areas of bias explored include ability, age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. The Council shares what they have learned through presentations, skits, events and conversation and invites our school community to join them.
A highlight since 2015-16 has been a Culture Fair hosted by the Diversity Council. Students and their parents are asked to share their families' cultural background, customs, history, and food by creating and presenting table top displays for this special event. All students, faculty, and parents are invited to attend the event with older students paired with their Connections buddies to experience and learn about other cultures.

Fruit juices offer a flavorful change from water and a caffeine-free alternative to coffee and tea. The natural sweetness of many juices adds to their appeal. Pure fruit juices also provide a variety of valuable nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium and some B vitamins. While fruit juices are best used in moderation, some can help you increase your iron intake.
Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Juices
An 8 ounce serving of pineapple juice provides 0.78 milligrams of iron, and the same serving size of grape juice contains 0.63 milligrams, according to the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. Both orange and pomegranate juices have only 0.25 milligrams of iron per 8 ounce serving, while that amount of grapefruit juice offers a tiny 0.06 milligrams.
Moderate Climate Fruit Juices
Prune juice is one of the best juices for iron. This juice contains 3.0 milligrams iron per 8 ounce serving. Although you may not think of tomato juice as fruit juice, the tomato is technically a berry and is also rich in iron. An 8 ounce serving of this juice provides 1.05 milligrams of iron. Because whole apricots and peaches are also relatively rich in iron, juices from these fruits also supply small amounts of iron. Other moderate climate fruit juices contain very little of this mineral. Apple juice gives you 0.30 milligrams per 8 ounce serving, while pear juice contains no significant amount of iron.
Benefits of Iron
Sufficient dietary iron is critical for the blood's ability to carry oxygen to the cells. In moderate quantities, fruit juices provide a quick, palatable way to boost your iron intake. Juices from citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, don't contain much iron, however, they are rich in vitamin C which improves iron absorption.
Fruit Juice in Your Diet
Men ages 19 to 50 need 8 milligrams of iron daily, while women need 18 milligrams, advise health experts from the University of Maryland. That means for men an 8 ounce serving of iron-rich prune juice provides 37 percent of the recommended daily iron intake for men and 16 percent for women. Because fruit juices are often high in sugar and low in nutrients, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting your juice intake to less than 4 ounces daily. In addition to drinking fruit juices, you can also use juice to flavor iron-enriched hot or cold cereals which will increase the iron you absorb from them.
For nutrition, 100 percent juices are better choices than fruit-flavored drinks, which may not contain real juice. Iron content in 100 percent juices and juice blends varies, and some commercially available juices contain added iron. Check the nutrition facts label on the package to determine exactly how much iron a particular juice product contains. To get the most iron, avoid mixing juice with tea because the tannin in tea interferes with iron absorption.

I have an amazing Manager and all my work colleagues are fantastic, all the returners are so understanding and helpful. The club is really amazing and so beautiful and I am so grateful to be here and have this opportunity.
The work is mostly easy but when it's busy it can get really crazy! I have been a bit sick since arriving which hasn't been great but I'm sure my body is just trying to adjust to the climate change etc. I must say I was slightly nervous regarding the accommodation arrangements, however I happen to live with some great people and things are going pretty smoothly… considering I live with 4 guys... AHEM.
My roommate is lovely and I am so excited for the next few months.
Although I know I am here to work, I am so excited to explore Florida and hopefully travel a bit after season next year, possibly Mexico…or… Bahamas… I'll keep you posted on that… Tonight the club has organised a trip to Miami which is so exciting! We also have our Christmas party coming up so there is so much to look forward to!!!!
