We are a pretty healthy family (quick prayer insert) that hardly ever visits the doctor. So when Cold + Flu season approaches we take the necessary means to naturally support our immune systems. Usually this keeps the doctors away and any viruses we do incur we can simply treat in the comfort of our own home.
However, this season has been exceptionally bad. With a wicked flu followed by a hacking cough, a volatile stomach virus, a weeping cold we have seen it all in just a short couple of months. Emergency rooms have been flooded and pediatric offices with wait lists. Sometimes these super bugs are just too powerful and take over the body no matter how prepared you are. Depending on your health, your immune system (which can be compromised without even knowing, especially depleted mothers), your age and where you are spending your time is going to effect how hard you get hit and how often. I am pregnant, vulnerable to the max. I also have a kindergartner in school full time. My immune system has never quite been the same since giving birth but I boost it as much as I can with acupuncture, herbs, tinctures, vitamins, mineral's to keep me on track as I suffer from adrenal fatigue. Now that I am growing a tiny human my immune system is naturally lowered purposefully by my body in order to protect the growing fetus. So in exchange I have suffered each and every one of these nasty viruses since New Years. However, my body knows what to do and how to fight it because it has done so, so many times before naturally. My beautiful daughter being the lovely culprit of infection only landed in the doctor's office once which was rare but necessary, the cough which came after the flu was nasty and one I have never witnessed before. Our pediatrician was stumped listing off all the usual suspects; croup, whooping cough, bronchitis and none of them hit the mark. His conclusion was that it was just a very bad regular cough but it was exhausting listening to her every thirty seconds hack up a lung. It was painful to bare witness even to him. So he prescribed her over the counter children's cough syrup and an inhaler to expand her lungs. We are so very fortunate to have a holistic doctor who also believes and is trained in western medicine. He said very specifically this is a band aid, it will not treat her cough but the reason I am giving you this prescription is to offer her some relief, that her body may rest and the natural medicine we will offer her can start to work as right now her body is exhausted and cannot heal. Terrified to give her such strong medication but I knew it was necessary. With that he gave us four naturals to 'treat' the infection, which we had on hand at home but I was not using it aggressively or consistently. I immediately administered to her the inhaler (which she found to be amusing) and the gnarly orange cough syrup. We were supposed to see dramatic relief within minutes. We waited. We waited. It came to our second dosing and still nothing, no change, no break. I called our doctor back o express my concerns. I was also giving her the naturals in between. I made a choice to not continue with the prescription meds and focus of the aggressive treatment of naturals and to my honest surprise after three hours her could reduced by 50%, by the end of the evening she had hardly coughed and by the next day it was 90% gone. I suggested this same remedy to a few other friends who saw the same dramatic results. This is not to say that western medicine is not necessary, it very well is in many cases. It is to show that naturals can be as successful sometimes because they like to work with our bodies not against them.
I wanted to share that little story with you as an example of our choices. We 100% believe in going to the doctor when it is really deemed necessary, it can save lives. However, most of the time we attack it from home. To allow our bodies to process the virus and actually learn to rid itself is how you properly get it out of your system. Medications suppress the virus, hiding them in your system, you may feel better but your body did not fully expose of it. So below I have included what we keep on hand in the home to better protect our systems against viruses and things we do to treat and recover from them. These are usually fully stocked in our house especially around this time of year. I also take a mini version when we travel.
Echinacea & Goldenseal for adults, Echinacea drops for kids, Plain Echinacea is safe for pregnancy. Take as a preventative as onset of symptoms and throughout virus.
Elderberry Syrup you can make yourself by following my recipe, or buy in tablet form for adults and syrup for kids. Safe for pregnancy.
Umcka syrup for adults and kids, safe for pregnancy.
Zinc Lozenges
Vitamin C in liposomal form 1000mg per tsp, adults have up to 5000+ throughout the day, once you hit soft stool you have had enough and it is working. Up to 4000 is safe for pregnancy but not to stay consistent with this just til virus simmers down. Kids depending on age, Coco will have about 2000mg.
ColdCalm and Oscillococcinum homeopathic packs, safe for kids and pregnancy.
Homeopathic kit
Ivy Calm syrup for coughs, safe for kids, adults and pregnancy. Also a good bran for kids is
Uriel Spruce Syrup for coughs, safe for kids and pregnancy.
Uriel plantain licorice tea, safe for kids.
Uriel plantain beeswax cough salve
Lemons, fresh organic lemons for numerous reasons including lemon wraps for sore throats and fevers. For fresh teas, lemon water and garlic lemonade.
Ginger for fresh teas, foot baths and sinus compresses.
Garlic for soups, lemonade and to take whole as a natural antibiotic.
Onion for soups, chest compress or ear infections.
Mustard powder for pneumonia, chest compress.
Manuka Honey 15+ UMF for sore throats especially strep, stomach and skin.
Essentail Oils; Lemon, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Lavender, Peppermint, Fennel, Chamomile, Immunity Blend. These treat sore throats, fevers, upset tummies, congestion and boost immunity.
Fennel Tea, Throat comfort tea, Echinacea tea.
Baking soda for stomach upset and cleaning toilets...
Steam inhalation, diffusers and humidifiers!
Hot water bottle
Electrolytes replenisher; maple syrup, lemon, salt, water
Bone broth
We have a ton of other stuff laying around but these are the essentials. Always consult your physician or pediatrician before using any of the above, especially for kids or pregnancy. I advise to have a natural, holistic doctor to work with along with your western general practitioner, this way you can have recommended doses for individuals as everyone is different. If you have ragweed allergies check with your doctor what is safe.

This is a daunting task for one who has not had a formal training in music, does not know the grammar and generally cannot engage himself on a discussion on the nuances, movements etc. etc. which are the attributes of a music critic. For me it is simply a question of whether the music appeals to me or not, not whether it is good or bad for I am no judge. So I write what I feel and share it with my friends and this is my tribute to a great musician.
21st September 2013 was a special evening arranged at the Kalakshetra, Chennai, to pay tribute to one of
greatest musicians – 'MS' as she is fondly called. The programme called
'Miradasi–A tribute to MS Subbulakshmi', consisted of a selection of hindi
bhajans sung by MS and made famous by her. Apart from the superb rendering of
the Bhajans by the young artists, the evening was brought alive by the
introduction and narration at the beginning of each bhajan by Gowri Ramnarayan
a grand niece of MS. She recalled those episodes from her childhood, memories
of the time spent by her at MS's home. What was special is that the music was
composed by R.Vaidyanathan also known as Remaji by his followers. Very few
people know who he was, but his compositions speak of a musical genius who
never really bothered to hit the centre stage. While writing this I was never
really sure whether I was writing this as a tribute to MS or Remaji. But both
combined have given us all those soul stirring bhajans which even today lift us
to those ecstatic heights of Bhakti. I have tried to highlight here certain
very enlightening portions of the narration in a bid to understand both the
musician and the music composer and what goes in to the making of great music
in taking us on a transcendental experience. India
It was in 1947 a week before Gandhiji's birthday that a request was made by him that he wanted to hear his favourite Mira bhajan 'Hari Tum Haro' to be sung by MS. As she did not know the song and it was too short a time for a proper composition and also it was inconvenient for her to go to
due to some personal matters, she had
to decline politely. But since Gandhiji wanted to listen to the bhajan in MS's
voice only, it was recorded at Delhi Madras at AIR and
the spool was sent to
and his wish was fulfilled. It was only later she learnt that Gandhiji had said
"Her voice is exceedingly sweet. To sing a bhajan is one thing; to sing it by
losing oneself in God is quite different". Pained by the violence unleashed at
the time of partition and feeling depressed Gandhi wanted this bhajan only in
which Mira pleads to her lord to remove the sufferings of his slaves. Delhi
But it is the effort that went into the music composition which brings out the genius of the music composer. It was an all night recording session as Vaidyanathan set it to music and for MS to learn and record it immediately. The song was composed in the raag Darbari Kaanada which expresses pathos as well as grandeur.
From an article in 'The Hindu' written by one of his disciples Meera Grimes we get a glimpse of the person Vaidyanathan was. She says-
"With all his rare attributes, Remaji chose to be anonymous. He was a person with many dimensions. He was a philosopher, musician, scientist, administrator and much more. He preferred to keep a low profile and hence, the world knows little or nothing about him. However, he had a group of disciples, who benefited immensely from his association in terms of spiritual solace. Vaidyanathan, born in 1913, in Chennai, was a prodigy in music, but was trained to be a scientist in physics. An alumnus of the
Presidency College,
Chennai, he went to , to
study the atom under Lord Rutherford (in fact the narrator said that he was a
contemporary of Nobel Laureate S.Chandrasekhar and Dr. Homi Bhabha)". After
what he calls a spiritual awakening, he decided to call it a day and returned
back to Cambridge,
to pursue his interest in music and spirituality. He evolved a philosophy that
embraced all faiths. He was adept in playing the piano, flute and the violin
and in western and Indian classical music- both Carnatic and Hindustani. In the
words of his disciple "He used his musical knowledge just to get shelter and
food. He used his leisure to do his research to find the cause of human
suffering and a solution. But then he was not a well-known philosopher either.
The answer is, he wanted all or nothing and nothing in between and he stood by
his principle until the end, even in very trying situations." He passed away in
India in the
year 1990 at the age of seventy seven. Amritsar
Coming back to the bhajans, I have listened to them sung by MS herself. There could not have been a better person to render the compositions of those great souls – Surdas, Tulsidas, Kabir and Mira, so filled with fervour and love for the divine. Music knows no boundaries or barriers, this is amply demonstrated by the fact that one of the bhajans was composed by Ras Khan, who a muslim by birth settled down in Brindavan and became a devotee of
Krishna. I have had the
occasion of attending some concerts of MS earlier in my life and the one image
that keeps recurring in my memory is of her rendering these songs with her eyes
closed, oblivious of what surrounded her, as if she was totally lost in the
fervour of the composition and seeking communion with the Divine, in the
process also transporting us to ephemeral heights. At the end of the concert
one always left with a sense of elation, call it spiritual or by any other
name, for during that entire period all your existential angst was pushed to
the background and you felt that after all this life was worth living. You
realise that music not only breaks down the barriers separating our different
personalities but teaches us to be humble, accepting and a total surrender to
the creator. The concept of total surrender to the divine or God as we call may
not be acceptable to many of us. But total surrender here should be understood
as a total erasing out of the ego. Humility is a result of this and this is
what makes us genuine, for when this is present, we will not feel the necessity
for wearing a mask. MS was always a picture of humility both in her manners and
the conduct of her life.

Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold Settled $84,000 Sexual Harassment Suit With Taxpayer Money/
Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold Settled $84,000 Sexual Harassment Suit With Taxpayer Money
The Duckie PJs lawmaker Blake Farenthold, who famously challenged Sen. Collins, Murkowski & Capito to a duel over Obamacare Repeal this summer used $84,000 of taxpayer funds to end a dispute with his communications director in 2014.
Lauren Greene, the Texas Republican's former communications director, sued her boss in December 2014 over allegations of gender discrimination, sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, writes Politico.
Another Farenthold aide told Greene the lawmaker said he had "sexual fantasies" and "wet dreams" about her. Farenthold "regularly drank to excess" and told her in February 2014 that he was "estranged from his wife and had not had sex with her in years", according to the claims made by Greene.

So, I'm once again milling over the idea of online dating. I've entertained the thought plenty of times, I even signed up, but only to delete my account and all my potential matches after 2 weeks.
But why? Why do I feel weirded out about the whole thing?
The stats tell me that 1 out of every 5 new relationships start online. How long do all those particular relationship lasts? We're not quite sure yet. It's still early.
But what if I'm blocking my blessing because of pride? Or what if I'm being wise. I'd hate to end up on a milk carton.
Needless to say, I'm taking you on my romance journey, online or otherwise. I'll keep you updated. But to protect the identity of my future prospects I'll give them code names. And I'll let you decide and chime in as to who is worthy to put a ring on it.
Wisdom's Knocking:
"If you liked it, you shoulda put a ring on it."

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I thought it appropriate to write about the play hub and I saw Sunday, Oscar Wilde's The Ideal Husband.
The play successfully debuted in London at the twilight of the 19th century - on January 3, 1895. Oscar Wilde was initially listed as the author, but during the play's run he was arrested for 'gross indecency,' a 19th century Victorian euphemism for homosexuality. Wilde's name was removed from the list of credits. He spent two years in prison for his transgression.
The comedy takes place in upper class, aristocratic, Victorian London at the end of the 19th century. A lot of pomp and pretentiousness establishes the background for a chain of events revolving around the attempted blackmail of an upstanding member of the House of Commons.
The play centers around the world of money, business and politics, but all scenes occur within the warm, cushioned, handsomely decorated, safe domiciles where the main characters reside. We meet the doting wife, conniving lady, good-hearted wealthy aristocrat, rich ex-businessman, and a host of men and women totally Victorian and not-quite-Victorian.
The gorgeous costumes, set designs, and English accents establish a rather quaint world middle class Americans do not relate to or ever experience. But listening carefully, the repartee between characters, and the plot, are as relevant today as they were over 100 years ago.
A number of interesting quotes from the play include the following:
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.
The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
The play recognizes the fact that there is no such thing as an ideal husband, but over one hundred years later I have discovered an anomaly - one member of the male species who qualifies as the ideal husband.
My hub
Happy Valentine's Day!
I love you!

Hollywood royalty sparkled while wearing some of the most outstanding and precious jewelry in the world on the Oscars Red Carpet Sunday. The usual suspects such as Fred Leighton, Harry Winston, Neil Lane and Lorraine Schwartz were all represented. However, there were some names not normally associated with the Oscars sharing the spotlight, including jewelry artist Cindy Chao, Sutra and Brazilian jeweler Brumani.
The accompanying slideshow provides a good look at the bling the stars wore as they entered the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

After nearly 2 years of pressure from your local Liberal Democrat County Councillor Robin Parker, the Tory dominated Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) have finally confirmed that they will re-surface all of Chells Way over about 6 nights starting on 25 April.
The Lib Dems have got them to agree to do the full length of the road, from the roundabout with Fairlands Way to the roundabout with Six Hills Way. The only part they should not re-surface will be the small section near the junction with Mobbsbury Way, which they re-surfaced (in error) on 7/8 March.
The resurfacing of Chells Way began on the evening of Monday 25th April and is due to last 6 nights, resurfacing the whole of Chells Way.
Who is to blame for allowing Chells Way to fall into such an appalling state? The answer is simply and honestly the Conservative dominated HCC, who are responsible for roads.
It's only thanks to hard working & persistent people like Robin Parker and the local Lib Dems who have delivered for local people. Labour & Conservatives don't deliver success like this.
Each year in February, Tory dominated HCC decides its budget and, for at least 10 years, the main opposition group (the Liberal Democrats) have formally proposed that they should increase the funds spent on important highways maintenance (roads and footways etc.)
Lib Dems have always been responsible and said where this money could be found – we said they should spend much less on publicity and wasteful gimmicks such as the useless traffic information signs, like the one on Fairlands Way near Mobbsbury Way. (Robin forced them to remove the one near Marlborough Road in 2013, which local residents rightly objected to.)
Every year the Tories refuse to do this. The Conservatives keep on wasting your Council Tax instead of spending it on maintaining your roads (like Chells Way) which are falling apart. Lib Dems want better roads for local people. Make sure you vote for Lib Dems to fight for better roads for you

Opinion Columns & Blogs
Helgerson 'no' vote was comment on state budget woes
It was remarkable how swiftly and decisively the Legislature acted Tuesday to try to cut the state's losses from the Brownback administration's botched and now-canceled deal to build a new Capitol power plant and demolish the Docking State Office Building. Just as striking was the explanation of the only "no" vote on the bill in either chamber, by Rep. Henry Helgerson, D-Eastborough: "Six years ago the state spent $2 million refurbishing the Docking power plant. Then the Republican governor and Republican Legislature decided to remove the state agencies from the building and tear it down. Now the governor enters into a lease purchase for a new power plant at a cost of $20 million without a statutory cost/benefit analysis. This spending of tens of millions of dollars by the administration and the lack of good fiscal oversight by the Legislature is a symptom of the greater economic mismanagement and incompetence that has plagued the state budget over the last five years." – Rhonda Holman

Pumpkin Sage Biscuits
¾ cup unsweetened plain almond milk + 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (a mix of whole wheat and all purpose works well too
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon sea salt
pinch each ground cinnamon and nutmeg
4 tablespoon non-dairy, unsalted butter, plus more for topping
¼ cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoon fresh sage, roughly chopped or torn
Cook's Note: Let your biscuits cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or bag. They will keep for up to a few days, but they're best when fresh.
Preheat oven to 450F.
Measure almond milk in a large liquid measuring cup and add lemon juice. Let curdle for 5 minutes. Then whisk in pumpkin puree.
Mix flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to combine until it starts to look like wet sand. Work quickly so the butter doesn't get too warm. Add chopped sage and mix once more.
Stir gently with a wooden spoon while pouring in the almond-pumpkin mixture ¼ cup at a time. You may not need all of it. Stir until just slightly combined – it will be a little sticky, but not too sticky
Turn onto a lightly floured surface, dust the top with a bit of flour and then very gently turn the dough over on itself a couple times – hardly kneading it.
Form into a 1-inch thick disc, handling as little as possible.
Use a 1-inch thick dough cutter or a similar-shaped object with sharp edges (such as a small drinking glass) and push straight down through the dough, then slightly twist. Repeat and place biscuits on a baking sheet in two rows making sure they just touch – this will help them rise uniformly. Gently reform the dough and cut out one or two more biscuits – you should have 7-9 depending on the size of your cutter.
Brush the tops with a bit more melted non-dairy butter and gently press a small divot in the center using your thumb. This will also help them rise evenly, so the middle won't form a dome.
Bake for 13-17 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown. They take a little longer to bake than traditional biscuits because the pumpkin adds extra moisture.
Serve immediately as is or with additional butter and/or maple syrup.

Oh, infertility. It can be a lonely place. I realize more often than not, my patients don't want to let me off the phone, we go over the same questions a bajillion times. Its not because they don't understand the answers (trust me, I know y'all have researched EVERYTHING) its because they want reassurance that its going to be okay!
During these moments, something I wish I could offer our patients would be tips on mindfulness. For those who are unfamiliar with the practice; a very basic, general description of mindfulness is being aware of your conscious experience. My simple interpretation is being in the moment and controlling your inner dialogue!
My favorite part of mindfulness is controlling the voice inside your head! I read this great book called "The Untethered Soul," which has an awesome analogy (that I'm going to convert to a fertility related analogy.)
The book was discussing that little nagging voice that you have in your head, the one that NEVER stops talking (well at least my voice is pretty chatty.) The little voice in your fertility driven mind that is saying "you'll never get pregnant," "you'll never have a baby;" "you are wasting so much money," "you are making your friendships suffer," "you are making your marriage suffer."
Now imagine that ALL those negative thoughts your inner voice is telling you, were coming from someone else. Imagine that a close friend or even some rando on Instagram said things like, "You aren't getting pregnant anytime soon. Might as well throw in the towel." Would that be someone you would want to be friends with?
NOOOOOO! You would kick their ass to the curb real fast (or immediately unfollow and block them in the wonderful world of IG!)
Why do we do it to ourselves then?? Why do we keep letting the voice fill us with the negative thoughts day in and day out?! (Deep, huh??)
Internal dialogue is LOUD when dealing with infertility. The reason its loud is because you lack control. This is a great time to throw your Type A, control driven self out the window (figuratively not literally.) You have to get that inner voice in check. When the voice pops up making you question that faint positive you see on your pregnancy test, shut it down. 30 minutes later when the voice comes back again questioning if you are symptomatic or not... shut it down. An hour later when you are Dr. Googling yourself and are now convinced it will never happen for you.. shut it down!
My advice is to take it a day at a time. Infertility is an unpredictable bitch. Don't let her get the best of you. Live in the moment, enjoy everyday (easier said then done.)

iOS 11's new features are many and varied.
iOS 11: Camera
With the iPhone being the world's most popular camera, it's no surprise photography is front and centre of iOS 11. Portrait mode pictures using the iPhone 7 Plus (and now the iPhone 8 Plus) will use optical image stabilisation as standard in iOS 11, True Tone flash and HDR, all of which should lead to significant improvements in portraiture. There's also a feature called Portrait Lighting, which offers users a series of different lighting options when in Portrait mode.
Live Photos gains the ability to Loop or Bounce scenes forwards and backward – similar to Boomerang on Instagram – while the Long Exposure feature will "creatively capture time and movement." Elsewhere, Apple is adding a new file format called High-Efficiency Image File Format to iOS 11, which reduces the size of images taken on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
You can also expect new video recording options and capture rates to accompany the newly efficient video codec. In other words, iOS 11 will not only reduce the size of captured video files, but it will also likely improve video file quality at the same time.
In Photos in iOS 11, Memory Movies, which are created automatically based on a date, location or event, will play in both portrait and landscape orientation, and the type of memory movies will increase, based on object recognition for example. This will make it easier to create videos of a pet's birthday, as an example.
iOS 11: Control Center
Apple has completely redesigned the Control Center in iOS 11 to make it more customisable to better suit your needs. In addition to the standard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, media controls, brightness, volume, rotation lock, and AirPlay options, there are now 18 new controls.
These include:
|Accessibility Shortcuts
|Apple TV Remote
|Do Not Disturb While Driving
|Guided Access
|Low Power Mode
|Text Size
|Screen Recording
|Voice Memos
A number of these options now come with Force Touch menus activated by long-pressing and holding.
iOS 11: Apple Pay
Apple previously announced that Apple Pay users will be able to send and receive money from contacts using Apple Pay Cash. This will let people send money via their Apple Wallet in Messages, or ask Siri to pay someone. The feature won't launch on iOS 11 release date but will be available this fall with a further update to iOS 11 and watchOS 4. WatchOS 4 was unveiled at Apple's recent iPhone 8 launch event in Cupertino and will power the Apple Watch Series 3.
iOS 11: Siri
Siri is gaining both a minor visual update and new higher-quality voices in iOS 11 that change intonation, pitch and tone, and tempo, but there are other improvements to SiriKit that will allow developers to more deeply integrate Siri into their apps. SiriKit has now been extended to new categories, such as to-do lists, notes, reminders, and banking, allowing developers to add Siri features.
In addition to sounding better, Siri is now able to translate US English into Mandarin, French, German, Italian or Spanish, and it uses what Apple calls "on-device learning" to offer suggestions based on how you use Apple apps including Safari, Mail, and Messages, similar to how Google Now and Google Assistant work.
iOS 11: Messages
As well as some visual improvements such as a redesigned app drawer, at long last messages will be synced across devices. More importantly, Messages is gaining support for person-to-person payments using Apple Pay, allowing you to send and receive money easily.
iOS 11: Maps and cars
Apple Maps is gaining indoor mapping instructions in iOS 11, so you can now get completely lost both inside and outdoors. There's also lane guidance to help avoid missing turns.
As an added safety feature, Maps now includes a new mode called Do Not Disturb While Driving, which can automatically detect when you're driving a car, silence notifications, and optionally send out an auto-reply to anyone who texts you.
In particular, iOS 11 will know when you're driving based on the speed you're travelling, how your vehicle is moving, and Bluetooth connections and will silence notifications automatically when Maps is open. You'll also have the option of sending an auto-reply to contacts to automatically let them know you're driving and can't respond.
iOS 11: ARKit
One of the biggest announcements at WWDC was ARKit and, as expected, Apple went big on this at the iPhone 8/iPhone X launch. It's a new set of APIs for creating augmented reality applications.
Back in July, the company showed a simple demo application that allows you to drop virtual objects such as a cup of coffee (complete with steam) onto a desk. When a virtual lamp was added, ARKit took care of shadows on other virtual objects automatically, making the scene much more realistic.
The highlight of the AR section was a demo by Peter Jackson's new studio Wingnut AR, showing a complex scene created in Unity. This included a landscape with buildings, virtual people running around, and flying vehicles attacking the "town" – all rendered in AR, in real time.
Apple said that both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have been "tuned" to work more efficiently with augmented reality, and in turn, ARKit, and demos at the event and on the show floor were incredible. In a blog post ahead of the iOS 11 release, Apple said that with ARKit on iOS 11: "Hundreds of millions of people can now experience AR apps on iPhone and iPad and view virtual content on top of real-world scenes for interactive gaming, immersive shopping experiences, industrial design and more."
iOS 11: App Store
It might seem like a minor change, but the current App Store can be a little trick to use so Apple is revamping it in iOS 11. Apple claims the redesigned App Store will make discovering apps and games easier, plus the store will run new in-depth features and interviews with iOS developers. Elsewhere, App Store for iMessage is getting a new app drawer.
iOS 11: iPad tools and file system
After the announcements about the new iPad Pro at WWDC, Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi returned to the stage to show off iOS 11's features designed specifically for the tablet.
Front and centre of iOS 11 is a new customisable dock that's capable of stretching the full width of the screen when in landscape orientation. Part of the dock is devoted to your most frequently used applications, and a redesigned app switcher works with the dock to allow you to drag and drop apps from the dock to either side of the screen. Swiping between workspaces lets you store and use different pairs of open applications at the same time.
At long last, iOS 11 includes a Files application that gives you much more powerful control over your file system, with integration for cloud services including iCloud Drive, Box, Dropbox and more. Files can be dragged and dropped around with new gestures, and the app includes a Recent tab that shows your most recently-used files no matter where they live.
Drag-and-drop support extends to moving text and graphics between applications, too. As you would expect, you can drag from one side of a split view to another in iOS 11 – but you can also drag between workspaces using multitouch gestures.
Support for Apple Pencil has also been massively improved, with a souped-up version of the Notes app with support for inline drawing – one of the biggest complaints about the current Notes. Users can also tap on the lockscreen with the Pencil to quickly open a Note in iOS 11.
iOS 11: Storage
In addition to telling you what types of data are consuming your iPhone's memory, the iPhone Storage menu in the Settings app of iOS 11 will let you quickly and easily free up space. This app will show you suggestions for deleting old messages, images and files and reveal which apps you use the least, in case you want to uninstall them.
Elsewhere, the iOS 11 Storage menu lists the attachments you've downloaded from the web or emails, for example, so you can remove them in one go.

Suspected 'mastermind' behind deadly shooting of PA policemen killed in custody
Aug. 23, 2016 9:49 A.M. (Updated: Aug. 23, 2016 5:06 P.M.)
NABLUS (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian suspected of "masterminding" a deadly shooting of Palestinian policemen last week was reportedly beaten to death in custody by Palestinian security officers early Tuesday morning, after he was arrested in the Old City of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.
Nablus Governor Akram Rujoub was quoted by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa as saying that the suspect, nicknamed Abu al-Izz Halaweh, was arrested in a very "precise" operation, minutes after he entered a house in Nablus.
He was then taken to Nablus' Juneid security compound and as he arrived, according to Palestinian security services spokesperson Adnan Dmeiri, "
started to shout and swear at the security officers, who then started to attack (Halaweh)."
Palestinian news site al-Quds News Network reported that some security commanders fired into the air to try and protect Halaweh when officers started to beat him.
The commanders tried to protect Halaweh from the attacking officers, "but he died," Dmeiri said.
Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah announced on Tuesday that a special committee would be formed to look into Halaweh's death and publicly share the results of the investigation, calling the situation "exceptional," Wafa reported.
Hamdallah also called on Palestinians wanted by Palestinian police to turn themselves in.
Al-Quds described Halaweh as the most prominent Nablus-area leader of Fatah's military wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and among "the most wanted" fugitives by the PA's security services.
In a statemen
obtained by al-Quds,
Halaweh's family
denounced the murder and demanded that the "killers" be brought to justice.
The family described Halaweh, according to the report, as "a noble national leader who was killed in cold blood without the least observance of human rights."
The family called for mourning all over the "homeland."
Halaweh was the third suspect to be killed amid a widespread manhunt by Palestinian security forces, during which three others were arrested, and five more remained at large, after
several gunmen opened fire on security officers
when clashes erupted during a raid in Nablus on Thursday.
Two Palestinian security officers were critically injured and later pronounced dead, and two more were wounded.
Overnight the following day, Palestinian security forces killed two suspects during raids in search for the gunmen. Halaweh's home was among the houses targeted during the raids.
On Sunday,
three more suspects were arrested
during a raid, when security forces said they also seized automatic weapons, ammunition, and anti-tank missiles that were purchased inside Israel.
Following the arrests, Dmeiri said in a news conference that security forces would continue their crackdown in the Old City of Nablus until "the phenomenon of illegal weapon possession is brought to an end."
"This gang has never pointed a weapon to the Israeli occupation," Dmeiri said at the time, and accused Israel of working to destroy civil security and the national fabric in Palestinian society.
"We have the names of the gangsters suspected of shooting at security forces. Two were killed on Friday, three have been arrested, and six are being pursued," Dmeiri said, adding that "security forces won't withdraw from the old city of Nablus before the six are arrested and brought to justice."
Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority (PA) spokesperson Yousif al-Mahmoud said in a statement that the arrests came as part of the PA's "continuous effort to provide safety and security for citizens in all districts."
According to Dmeiri, five security officers have been killed in the past month.
The arrests come amid
a crackdown by PA security forces
on criminal activity in the West Bank, with Hamdallah announcing in July plans to amend the penal code and "arrest all fugitives and put them to justice."
Nablus was also the site of
a deadly shooting at the end of June
, which resulted in two Palestinian security officers being killed and at least 13 civilians reportedly wounded after a gunman opened fire on a police officer's home.
Spokesperson for the Hamas movement Sami Abu Zuhri denounced what he called a "field execution" of Ahmad Izz Halaweh by Palestinian security inside Juneid compound.
"This marks a dangerous development of a policy of field executions by PA security services, which escalated especially after the execution of two young men Faris Halaweh and Khalid al-Aghbar in Nablus city last week," he added in a statement published on Hamas' website.
He said that the PA's security coordination with the Israeli occupation has mounted into "a policy of oppression against our own people," adding that the trend "necessitated a serious national effort to bring those involved in murders to justice and to stop such dangerous crimes."
Hamas has repeatedly accused the PA of "escalating security collaboration" with the Israeli authorities and
"adopting a revolving door policy"
that funnels Palestinians from PA jails into Israeli prisons.

Along with traditional methods, digital marketing has given you the unparalleled opportunity of lead generation from your website and other social media platforms.
Almost 60% of business owners in India faces the challenge of how to get the leads and for this, they build their dependency on Business Listing sites like Justdial, Indiamart and so many other.
As they are looking for a quick and easy solution to the lifelong problem they get attracted to the solution they are offering.
On their behalf, they are not wrong but at the time they are paying to build someone else business than theirs.
Let's start with the question where do, you get your branded leads online?
The answer is very simple, it is through your website and your own social media presence.
Your website should be the hub of online lead generation for the marketing department.
Website Lead generation goes through the following process:
Once traffic drives to your website, your website should convert these visitors into Leads using lead magnets.
Ensure that you add value to visitors life by asking their information rather than a simple contact information
This exchange will surely give you the brand recall to you.
Where does the traffic usually come from?
Traffic commonly comes from these sources:
Email Marketing:
When you start promoting your company's products/services through Emails.
You add your company 's details to it.
The link of your website mentioned in the details of your mail.
When clicked by the receiver visits your website.
Social Media:
Users who have once engaged with any of your social media campaigns are also one way of capturing leads.
Say a potential participated in a particular event of your facebook page.
This is one kind of engagement they go through.
Facebook Remarketing and Retargeting is also one way which opens the gate to re-engage with your existing leads.
SEO – Search Engine Optimization
This is the organic way to generate traffic and leads for your business.
Being on top of search engine ranking is directly proportional to more business.
Blog Posts
Traffic might also come from one of your highest ranking blogs.
When you write a blog you actually cover a huge set of keywords.
These are the few sources of generating traffic to your website.
A few questions might be popping up in your mind like,
- How to increase quality leads to my website?
- How do I increase my websites conversion rate?
Let's just say this blog is your beginners guide to website lead generation.
Add forms to your website to collect information about your leads.
Using a tool called "Google Analytics" you can easily find out the pages frequently visited by your visitors.
This way you know which page attracts most of your leads and embed a form in the page.
Overall, it is logical to embed a form in those pages of your website where visitors visit the most.
The next thing you need to do is put up content that would increase the engagement on your website.
This makes it necessary for you to keep working on the content of your website.
A/B Testing
It is hard to say what kind of content may attract a particular visitor.
Everything starts with different sets of great ideas and content.
But the biggest question that arises here is which one to choose?
Here is where A/B testing helps you.
Organizations make multiple landing pages to understand consumer behavior.
Let's say your company has 2 landing pages.
Landing page A gets 100 visitors out of which 10 give in their information.
Landing Page B gets 150 visitors out of which 9 give their information.
It is very clear that Landing page A's conversion rate is better than the conversion rate of landing B.
The next thing you should do is start understanding the kind of content on the landing page that attracted the visitor.
If it were offers, color codes or any detail related to your services that impressed so many leads, you should start developing more of such content.
But make sure you don't overdo it.
Statistics say organizations having more than 5 landing page have a better conversion rate.
Optimize your Website pages
Make sure you post only necessary content on your website.
Example, Don't link offers of your company with the blog of your website.
This may give a very wrong impression of your company.
When a visitor visits your website you track their conversion path and optimize your website accordingly.
This way your conversion rate also increases
Few necessary things should be included in your optimization process:
Call to Action:
Buttons like "Submit" should be there if you have a form.
Or if you have a website which handles a lot of media files a button indicating "Download now" should be there.
Thank you Page
Make sure when the customer lands the thank you page, you don't keep it plain.
Say when a person has filled a form and reaches the thank you page.
Make sure you have something which is an attracting selling point of your company.
Example: After purchasing from Myntra, the Thank You page of Myntra shows you more exciting offers related to your purchases
This way you make them more brand loyal.
Landing Page
Landing pages are mostly the pages where leads usually land up.
Make sure your landing page has the minimum and the most relevant content.
This way your conversion rate increases.
After a customer subscribes to your newsletter or subscribes to your services.
Make sure you drop a THANK YOU email on their Inbox.
This is a personalized gesture, which makes your customers feel special.
Stats reveal that frequency of people opening thank you emails are more than any other email.
Offer necessary Content
Educate your visitors about your company's products and services.
Offer them free Ebooks or free trials or add a subscribe button for keeping them updated.
Example, Zoho books gives its customers a free trial of all its features for 15 days.
After that, if the customer feels it right, he/she buys it.
Similarly Myntra/Amazon/Flipkart they keep updating their customers regarding their current offers or season sale.
This keeps the customer updated of the company.
After a person subscribes to your services,
It is said that personalization makes the customer feel welcomed.
Example, once the customer fills the details of Amazon.
The first thing he sees is Hi, The person name.
This kind of personalization has a better impact on the customer.
Even with Emails, the more personalized the Emails the better.
Offering more to them on their special days like birthdays or anniversaries.
This makes them feel special and they remember you.
Leads are difficult to generate when it comes to traditional marketing,
When marketing is done online with the right thing at the right time it gives you unexpectedly good results.
One method being optimizing it the right way with relevant content that would engage your leads with your website.
Secondly, provide an appropriate call to action wherever necessary.
Always try to think something new that would increase engagement on your website.
Try not to continue with the same strategy over and over again, your leads might interest.
Make sure that the flow of information that you provide to your customers makes them feel important.
Attracting leads the online way is easy, you just need to take the right step for the right place.

Google's $25 million .app domain finally has a launch date
One of the questions I get asked fairly regularly is "When is .app coming out?", but until today I haven't had a good answer.
Now I do. Google has finally released its launch timeline for the could-be-popular new gTLD.
.app will go to sunrise March 29, the company said last week.
Trademark holder exclusivity will end May 1, at which point a week-long Early Access Period will kick in.
There will be an extra fee, so far undisclosed, for EAP buyers.
Finally, on May 8, everyone will get access to the domain as it goes into general availability.
Registry pricing has not been disclosed.
Unusually for a new gTLD, Google plans to keep its Trademark Claims service — which notifies registrants and trademark owners when there's a potential trademark infringement — open indefinitely, as opposed to the minimum 90-day period.
.app was delegated in early July 2015, so it's been a loooong wait for people interested in the space.
Google paid $25 million for .app at an ICANN public auction in February 2015. At the time, that was a record-breaking price for a gTLD, but it's since between dwarfed by the $135 million Verisign is paying for .web.
Google also said that it's currently working on a launch plan for .dev, another gTLD that folk have been asking about, but that for now it's focused on .app alone.
DomainTools scraps apps and APIs in war on spam
DomainTools is to scrap at least five of its services as it tries to crack down spam.
It's getting rids of its mobile apps, its APIs, and is to stop showing registrants' personal information to unauthenticated users.
CEO Tim Chen told us in an email at the weekend:
The Android app is no longer supported.
The iOS app will no longer be supported after February 20th.
The Developer API is no longer supported.
On February 20th, the Bulk Parsed Whois tool available to Personal Members will no longer be supported.
On February 20th, our production Whois API will no longer be available to individual membership levels, an Enterprise relationships will be required.
It's all part of an effort to make sure DomainTools services are not being abused by spammers, which has lead to a dispute with GoDaddy over bulk access to its registrants' Whois data.
The longstanding problem of new registrants getting spammed with calls and emails offering web hosting and such has escalated over the last few years. Domain Name Wire detailed the scale of the abuse registrants can experience in a post last week.
While to my knowledge nobody has directly accused DomainTools of facilitating such abuse, the scrapped services are the ones that would be most useful to these spammers.
The company is also going to scale back what guest users can see when they do a Whois lookup, and is to make automated scraping of Whois records more difficult for paying members.
In a blog post, Chen wrote last week:
As of today, unauthenticated users of the DomainTools Whois Lookup tool will not see personally identifiable information for the registrant parsed out in the results, and will be required to submit a CAPTCHA to see the full raw domain name Whois record. Phone numbers in the parsed results have been replaced with image files, much the same way emails have always been rendered
As well as hoping to ease relations with GoDaddy — the source of a very heavy chunk of DomainTools' data — the moves are also part of the company's strategy for dealing with the incoming General Data Protection Regulation.
This is the EU law that gives registrants more control over the privacy of their personal data.
Chen told us earlier this month that DomainTools is keen to ensure its enterprise-level suite of security products, which he said are vital for security and intellectual property investigations, continue to operatie under the new regime.
About 80% of DomainTools' revenue comes from its enterprise-level customers, over 500 companies.
GoDaddy launches mobile app for investors
GoDaddy has launched a new mobile device app specifically for domain investors.
GoDaddy Investor, as it is called, will enable domainers to monitor watch-lists of expiring domains, as well as bid in and track auctions, the company said.
Authentication is handled via a special PIN system or, on iOS, Apple's TouchID.
"We worked closely with our domain investors to bring the same great investing experience to mobile that they've enjoyed on desktop for years," Paul Nicks, GoDaddy's senior director of aftermarket, said in a press release.
The app is available for Android and iOS operating systems and is available via their respective app stores.
Google buys .app for over $25 million
The fiercely competed new gTLD .app has sold to Google for a record-breaking $25 million.
The company's Charleston Road Registry subsidiary beat out 12 other applicants for the string, including Donuts, Amazon, Famous Four Media, Radix and Afilias.
The auction lasted two days and fetched a winning bid of $25,001,000, more than any other new gTLD to date.
The previous high is believed to be .blog, which I estimate sold for less than $20 million.
Because it was an ICANN-run "last resort" auction, all of the money goes into ICANN's special auction proceeds fund, which previously stood at just shy of $35 million.
Previous ICANN auctions have fetched prices between $600,000 and $6,760,000.
Google originally proposed .app as a closed registry in which only Google and its partners could register names.
However, after the Governmental Advisory Committee pressured ICANN to disallow "closed generics", Google changed its application to enable anyone to register.
Third .app gTLD applicant revealed
A Ukrainian software developer has become the third company to publicly reveal that it has applied for the .app top-level domain.
MacPaw's main business is developing software for Apple platforms, as the name suggests. It's formed a new company, Dot App Inc, based in California, to manage the gTLD bid.
The application imagines a very pro-developer space. Domainers, it appears, will not be welcome.
Some policies from its web site:
– Only application developers or publishers will be able to register domain names in this zone
– Misused domains will be analyzed and repurposed if found to violate the Registration policy
– No need to pay a small fortune for a great but squatted .com or .net domain.
– The rights of app creators will be protected in the same way trademark rights are
Top Level Domain Holdings and Directi both last week announced plays for .app among their large portfolios of gTLD applications.
More applicants will no doubt be revealed next week.

|Drug Design - Perception of Molecular Similarity with a Genetic Algorithm
The maximum common substructure (MCSS) is a similarity measure that allows the study of a variety of chemical problems. The relationships between structure and biological activity, between the target of a synthesis and appropriate starting materials as well as biosynthetic pathways can be investigated by the determination of the MCSS or the three-dimensional MCSS. The determination of the largest substructure contained twice in a single molecule allows one to derive synthesis precursors that can be used several times to make a synthesis short and convergent.
The determination of a MCSS is a computationally expensive task, that is solved by a genetic algorithm, an optimization method that imitates the adaptation methods of nature. Molecular recognition at the receptor binding site depends on the exact conformation of a biologically active compound. Thus, the recently developed version of the genetic algorithm considers conformational flexibility of the molecules. A hybrid method including two main optimizations has been applied:
The application of the hybrid method leads to an increased size and to an improved geometrical fit of the superposition. Thus molecular similarity can be recognized.

The Education of Students and Self
Rohde, Michael J.
MetadataShow full item record
For most teachers, their student teaching is a completely new and exciting experience, during which individuals become aware of their own positive aspects as well as their own limitations. It is this experience that usually channels individuals into or away from the occupation of education. For myself, while exciting, this was not an entirely new experience for me. Unlike most of my peers, I returned to my home town and worked under the same educators that led me to pursue a career in education. The school, Bay City Western, is located in a somewhat rural area of Michigan with an enrollment of approximately 1400 students, of limited ethnicity, for the majority of the students were white. Under the supervision of principal Al Bryant and cooperating teachers Ms. Carol Hoyle and Ms. Diane Sullivan, I experienced one of the most rewarding periods of my life, and found the needed direction to make this a definite career choice for myself.

Use data to tell the story and find the truth. Data is everywhere you look and selecting the right data points to analyse and interpret is vital.
Build trust. Trust is imperative and forms the basis of all relationships and interactions. Hand in hand with building trust is fair and transparent measurement.
Our Values

Install and manage your CAD configurations efficiently.
At Symetri, we started to develop our own solution to this challenge and the result is our deployment solution – CQi. The solution will take care of the installation, configuration and maintenance of your company's CAD applications.
CQi is 100% owned and developed by Symetri. We have put more than 25 years of expertise and field experience into this solution.
Today, approx. 20,000 CAD installations are performed yearly and regularly updated via CQi – the Software Deployment Solution by Symetri.
CQi simplifies CAD installations at Norsk Hydro CQi simplifies our CAD installations, distribution to sites worldwide and to make updates afterwards. Our goal is to reduce the downtime due to upgrade; CQi is an important contributor here. Furthermore, it's very high quality in the packaging and support.
Spending time on the initial installation, carefully configuring and testing before rolling out a large number of identical installations saves a lot of time. But the great benefit is that support becomes so much easier. In addition we had a significant cost saving in the area.


text: The Tempest raises fundamental questions about power within close relationships, more specifically, who has it and how they wield it. The best example of this throughout the play is Caliban and Prospero's relationship. The deterioration of their relationship has several causes, most obviously, Caliban's attempted rape of Prospero's daughter Miranda. Another factor is Antonio's betrayal and usurpation of Prospero's power before the start of the play, as Prospero put him in the place of power that allowed this move. This occurrence sets up an important precedent for Prospero's behavior throughout. Prospero and Caliban's relationship as former allies, now slave and master, reflects Prospero's relationship with his brother and explores the inherent lack of trust in a relationship with power imbalances. This in turn exposes Prospero's fear of losing control.

Understanding what you can afford to buy
Whether you are buying your first home, apartment or looking to find an investment property, you need to understand what you will able to borrow with a loan, that won't leave you 'house poor' or limit your lifestyle.
How big a mortgage can you afford?
Suncorp Mobile Lender, Dane Gaspar, talks about affordability and accurately calculating their expenses.
What you can afford isn't just about what a bank says you can afford, it's also about your lifestyle.
I encourage customers to be as accurate as they can be when they're calculating their expenses, so that when they have the loan they won't be eating two minute noodles every night.
When calculating affordability, one of the methods Suncorp Bank uses is what we call a sensitised interest rate, which is an average interest rate over 30 years. This aims to help later down the track if the interest rate changes, so you still have a financial buffer.
You should think about future income, what happens if you decide to have kids and if you are relying on two incomes, what happens if you need to drop from two incomes to one.
Also, the things that make your life meaningful – Christmas time, birthdays, holidays. Customers need to think about what they might be giving up to have a home loan.
It's tempting to ignore unexpected expenses. But having money saved up as a buffer for things that may need fixing when you do have a new home – like air conditioning, heating, and plumbing is a good idea.
Ultimately it's up to you to work out what you can afford, but we can help guide your thinking.

Calculating your borrowing capacity
Suncorp Mobile Lender, Dane Gaspar, explains how Suncorp Bank calculates how much you can borrow to buy a home.
When it comes to how much you can borrow, we want to help make sure that your income is greater than your expenses and that you have a good buffer.
We check that you can afford repayments on your loan over 30 years, with potential interest rate fluctuations.
And we want to make sure you have a little bit left over every month to allow for expenses that come up.
The cushion amount varies between different applicants because it's based on your own lifestyle and everyone is different.
First home buyers should be able to service a loan and have enough money left over every month to live comfortably, because it's important to not live above your means.
So we look at personal expenses – bills, childcare, school fees, car loans and credit cards and the available limit on those cards, as well as interest free facilities like store cards (people often forget about them). And we consider your deposit amount.

Whether you are buying a home, or refinancing your existing home loan, you will need to know what your LVR is. But what is it and how do you find out?
Essentially, LVR is a simple way of explaining the difference between the amount you are borrowing from your bank to buy a property, compared to the value of the property, minus your deposit that you have saved. That number is then given as a percentage. Get it? No?
The best way to explain it is having an example:
Say you want to buy a house for $500,000 and you have saved up $50,000 as a deposit. Your LVR would be 90% - as you have 10% of the value of the property.
You should know your LVR as there may be a certain amount for you to successfully receive a loan.
In the event you are borrowing more than 80% of the value of a property from a bank, you will more than likely have to pay what's called Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). This LMI is a cost that protects the bank in the event you are unable to pay your mortgage.
Alternatively, if you are borrowing less than 80% of the value of the property, you are considered a less 'risky' customer and will not be charged LMI.
LMI is not a premium you have to pay upfront nor pay every year or monthly. The LMI is added on to your mortgage and you will pay it off with the rest of your mortgage over time.
If you don't have much available for a deposit on a home, paying this LMI may make it possible for you to be considered for a larger loan.
Tools to help you budget & save
Government fees & other costs
Buying a property costs more than just the purchase price. When it comes to getting a home loan, government fees can be a factor in knowing how much to budget. It's important to be aware of all the additional costs you'll incur when buying a property – and budget for them accordingly before you sign a contract.

"I am here alone for the first time in weeks, to take up my 'real' life again at last. That is what is strange—that friends, even passionate love, are not my real life unless there is time alone in which to explore and to discover what is happening or has happened." - May Sarton
"We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of a geography of hope." - Wallace Stegner

Housing your Guinea Pigs
Whether you decide to keep your new pets inside or outside, you will need to provide them a hutch or enclosure that is sturdy and spacious. Roomier Cages offer many advantages that will be enjoyed by both you and your pigs. Larger cages are one of the most basic types of enrichment you can provide. Guinea pigs can live 5-7 years and can become bored and depressed without adequate stimulation. Imagine spending your whole life in a walk-in closet. Even with occasional breaks, life would be pretty drear. Adequate room to exercise means that your guinea pigs are less likely to develop medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, bumblefoot, and anal impaction. With a roomier enclosure, guinea pigs can exercise on their schedule, not yours. Guinea pigs tend to be most active in the morning and evening when it may not be convenient to take them out for playtime. Larger housing increase the likelihood of peaceful co-existence among multiple guinea pigs (and since guinea pigs are social animals, they do best when housed together). Larger cages are actually easier to clean because they prevent the buildup of waste and allow guinea pigs to separate their bathroom area from other activities. With the opportunity to express a wider range of natural behaviors, your guinea pigs will be happier and it will be easier to get to know their personalities.
The cage should be well ventilated and easy to clean. If kept indoors choose a bright, draft-free area (e.g. away from doors and windows and on an elevated surface) with a stable temperature range. Guinea pig housing should be located away from strong heat sources such as direct sun, wood stoves, fireplaces and heating vents. Guinea pigs cannot sweat when they become too warm and are particularly susceptible to heat stroke. They enjoy being near family activity and benefit from more attention when they're easy to see and hear. A family room or living room works well, but make sure your pigs have a place to retreat if they need some quiet time.
Guinea pigs have very sensitive hearing and their cages should not be placed next to stereos, televisions or other loud noises. If outside make sure the hutch is kept out of drafty, damp areas and direct sunlight on hot days. Guinea pigs don't do well under humid conditions. Dampness promotes the growth of mold in their hay and bedding and can make guinea pigs more prone to sickness. Do Not leave Guinea pigs in the direct sunlight on hot days as heat stress can kill them. A hutch that can be moved around the garden to provide fresh grass is ideal. It needs to be secure to protect them from predators and they need somewhere to run and hide in if they are suddenly frightened.
Bedding can be a variety of things. Grass hay or straw work well, and satisfies a guinea pigs desire to nibble and burrow. Paper bedding (Back to Nature) or wood shavings are also very popular and very absorbent. If you line the hutch with newspaper first, cleaning will be easier. Whatever you decide to use, you will need to clean out the cage regularly and replace all the bedding. Periodically the hutch will need to be thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed and allowed to dry completely before being used again. Hutch cleaner's are available from pet stores or a little disinfectant in the water will keep the hutch clean.
Food and Water Containers
Provide a Food bowl that is solid and cannot be overturned. A good quality drip feed water bottle also needs to be provided and both need to be cleaned regularly.
Cage Sizes
One guinea pig: 7.5 square feet cage (minimum), but more is better; generally 30" x 36" is a good size.
Two guinea pigs: 7.5 square feet (minimum), but 10.5 square feet is preferred; generally 30" x 50" is a good size.
Three guinea pigs: 10.5 square feet (minimum), but 13 square feet is preferred; generally 30" x 62" is a good size.
Four guinea pigs: 13 square feet (minimum), but more is better; generally 30" x 76" is a good size.

House re-wiring in Merton is one of our longer and more expensive jobs. We are completely upfront about this as house re-wiring is a big commitment to take. In order to re-wire a house all the old wiring needs to be removed and new wiring put in place, as well as any extra sockets, lighting, switchboards and anything else that needs to be installed. It's a big job!
"How do I know if I need a house re-wire?"
House re-wires are normally needed every 25-30 years. This is due to wires getting old and fraying, not enough electrical sockets being available in the house and a few other reasons.
If your house hasn't been re-wired since 1984, then you most likely are in desperate need of a re-wire. This is due to the fact that before new government legislation was enacted then, most houses weren't earthed. This greatly increases the chance of an electric shock due to excess electricity in the circuit. Earthing a circuit allows the circuit to get rid of excess electricity through the ground and allow it to pass safely. You may have seen an earth wire when you've opened up a plug to change a fuse; it's the green and yellow wire.
Another common problem with old house wiring is that some houses were using Aluminium wiring rather than Copper. Aluminium wiring is a very large fire hazard as Aluminium heats up to a much higher temperature than copper when electricity is running through it. It's often said that Aluminium is 55 times more likely to cause a house fire than copper wiring. If this Aluminium was running along some wood, it's very likely to scorch and burn the wood which could cause a fire.
"What can I gain from having a house re-wire?"
Not only does having a house re-wire give you peace of mind that the electricity you're using is being the most efficient it can be, your risk of fire hazard is lower and you'll be up to date on any government electrical safety legislation if you want to sell: You can also ask our electricians to install sockets for extra appliances when you get a house re-wire.
As house re-wiring requires us to remove all the old sockets and wiring, this is a good opportunity to make room for any extra electrical items in your home. If you've been using a 4-plug extension - which we don't recommend -, then now would be a good time to get a few extra sockets installed into that room. We normally recommend doubling-tripling your electrical socket number, depending on the room and the amount already in the house.
This also means if you've wanted to install an electric shaver bay in the bathroom, an electric instead of gas cooker in the kitchen, or even have the power for a computer in the spare bedroom that you want to turn into a study, this is the perfect time to let us know. All these extras will be included for a small fee as part of the service, so there won't be any hidden costs.

Just spent some time perusing the District 3 football rankings released this week, and though we're not halfway through the football season yet, it's never too early to take a peak at the District playoff picture.
Here's a class-by-class look at a few the YAIAA teams and where they sit in this week's rankings.
For a more complete list of the rankings, along with a explanation of how the point system works, click here.
Class AAAA (Top 16 makes playoffs)
3. William Penn -- After handling Red Lion at Horn Field on Friday, it's getting harder and harder to doubt the Bearcats (4-0). With 400 power ranking points so far, Tim Hibbs' team looks like a YAIAA Division I contender.
T-6. South Western -- The Mustangs (4-0) are one of only four unbeaten AAAA schools in the district, but they're also looking for their first win against a AAAA side.
12. Spring Grove -- A 3-1 record looks good, but the Rockets were overmatched in their first game against a AAAA school in a 28-0 loss to Central on Friday.
T-13. Central York -- The Panthers (2-2) have rebounded well from their pair of defeats to start the season.
Dallastown (2-2) is in a tie for 17th place, 20 points back of the top 16.
Class AAA (Top 16 make playoffs)
T-1. West York -- The Bulldogs (4-0) emerged from Week 4 tied with Manheim Central with 490 power points, thanks mostly to a brutal early season schedule that included games against AAAA teams Central York, Dallastown and Red Lion.
9. New Oxford -- Wins against AAAA schools Waynesboro and York Tech have propelled the Ox (3-1) into the Top 10. Another tough matchup looms against Central York this Friday.
T-11. Northeastern -- In just their second season of existence, the Bobcats (3-1) sit tied with Hershey and Susquenita. But with a punishing stretch of games coming up (York Suburban, at West York, at Kennard-Dale, Littlestown), staying in the top 16 might be a challenge.
16. Kennard-Dale -- The Rams have won two in a row, and at 270 power points have just enough to sneak in the top 16, for now.
Also, worth noting that Mid-Penn Capital league side Northern York (4-0) ranked sixth in the Class AAA rankings.
Class AA (Top 8 make playoffs)
4. Delone Catholic -- The first in a trio of YAIAA teams in the top 8. The Squires (3-1) only loss this year came to Trinity, which is ranked third in District 3 Class AA.
5. York Suburban -- The Trojans have rebounded well from a season-opening loss to Dallastown. They scored a critical victory against Littlestown on Saturday.
6. Littlestown -- Speaking of the Bolts, their 3-1 record looks good. But the three teams they beat are a combined 0-11.
Bermudian Springs (2-2) sits in ninth, 30 points back of eighth-place Wyomissing.
Class A (Top 8 make playoffs)
4. York Catholic -- The Irish (2-2) leapfrogged three teams in this week's standings thanks to their 25-22 win against York County Tech on Saturday.
