You might have wondered if CBD can treat inflammation. Yes, CBD can treat inflammation. In fact, reducing inflammation is one of the main benefits of using CBD.
This article will first examine how inflammation works and what causes it. Then it will discuss how CBD works to treat inflammation and the effectiveness of the treatment. Also, a few studies have already been conducted that examine the effectiveness of CBD to treat inflammation. This information is not based on anecdotal evidence, but actual science and legitimate research.
What causes inflammation?
The first step to understanding how CBD treats inflammation is understanding how inflammation works. Most people probably do not understand the mechanics of inflammation nor do they know that many different forms of inflammation exist.
In a general sense, inflammation is a natural reaction of the body when it encounters harmful stimulation. Many different types of harmful stimulation can trigger inflammation, which is why different types of inflammation exist. Additionally, inflammation is not actually a disease. Rather, it's a symptom of a disease or something wrong with the body.
This first step in treating inflammation should involve treating the cause of the inflammation rather than reducing the inflammation. Masking the issue without treating the root cause may lead to issues in the future.
One of the common causes of inflammation is an allergic reaction to certain substances. Other symptoms also include exposure to chemicals found in the food you eat or the air you breathe. Finally, physical injuries may also cause inflammation. The large amount of triggers that can cause an inflammatory response makes treating it an extremely difficult task.
Even more confusing, the body may mistakenly believe that perfectly healthy substances are dangerous and trigger an immune response. In this case, the best of course of action is to treat the inflammation.
Symptoms of Inflammation
Before going over treatment options, we first have to discuss the symptoms of inflammation. The general public associated inflammation with swelling, but other symptoms exist. Some of the other symptoms include any type of pain, soreness, or fatigue.
As mentioned earlier, these symptoms are caused by the immune system attacking harmful stimuli and not all symptoms will appear simultaneously. Oftentimes, only one symptom, usually swelling, will appear at a time.
Inflammation in certain parts of the body will also cause specific symptoms. Some of the more common ones are arthritis and neurodegenerative disorders in the brain. Arthritis is caused by prolonged inflammation near the joints and the eventual loss of cartridge on the joints.
Neurodegenerative disorders in the brain could range from anything from Alzheimer's disease to Lou Gehrig's disease. Scientists are unsure of the exact causes of many neurodegenerative diseases, but many believe that chronic inflammation in the brain might be a cause.
CBD to Treat Inflammation
Scientists have struggled to find a solution to treat inflammation because of the many triggers that cause it and the many different locations in the body it can occur. CBD looks promising as a treatment method because of the way it interacts with the endocannabinoid system. First, the endocannabinoid system is a nervous system in the human body with cannabinoid receptors. When CBD is consumed, these receptors are activated across the body and can relieve the symptoms associated with inflammation.
CBD is good for treating many different types of inflammation. However, it works especially well for treating inflammation related to the muscular system and the digestive. CBD will still help with the inflammation that causes chronic pain and swelling. It may also help with those neurodegenerative diseases, but more research must be conducted to fully understand all the inflammation that CBD can treat.
Benefits of using CBD to treat inflammation
Imagine a treatment option that could reduce inflammation and had no negative side effects.
That treatment option is CBD. It has no negative side effects. Humans cannot even overdose on CBD, a sharp contrast from most pharmaceutical drugs including aspirin. This makes it not only more effective but also safer to take than aspirin.
Studies have also shown that CBD is 20 times more effective at treating inflammation than the pharmaceutical medication typically used to treat inflammation, aspirin. This bodes well for CBD and consumers because aspirin has negative side effects such as ulcers and bleeding.
Finally, consuming CBD is much easier than consuming aspirin or other over the counter medications. These medications usually must be swallowed. Pharmaceutical companies make the medicine taste bad to prevent children from overdosing, which means they taste horrible if they get stuck in your throat.
CBD is the exact opposite of aspirin in this regard. Particularly if you consume CBD gummies, like the type available from Sunday Scaries, as they are extremely easy to eat. They taste like regular gummies. Overdosing on CBD is obviously not a concern. Unlike aspirin, it is safe to accidentally eat a few more gummies than recommended.
Final Thoughts on CBD to treat inflammation
You might not have thought of CBD as a viable treatment option for inflammation before reading this article. However, it really works well for treating the many different types of inflammation located in different places throughout the body. Do note; if you have inflammation, then you should diagnose the cause of the inflammation before treating it. Inflammation serves as a warning to the body that something is not right. Masking the symptoms of the issue may make things worse in the long term.
Sometimes inflammation is just chronic or random. In this case, you do want to treat it, and CBD makes a great option. It has no negative side effects and no possibility of overdose. These benefits make it a great alternative to the over the counter medicine typically used to treat inflammation.
The CBD gummies from Sunday Scaries make an excellent choice for consuming CBD. These gummies still contain CBD but in a gummy form. This makes it easier and more enjoyable to eat than other forms of CBD. It's the same as eating candy, but this candy can help treat your inflammation.

The Battle of the Christmas Tree Cats
Thanks to the feline capers of Bob and Harry, my Christmas tree has listed south since the day after I put it up. Twice I have been jolted awake by a nocturnal crash – yes, Bob and Harry are nocturnal cats-and when I investigated I discovered the tree sprawled across the floor in a prone, submissive position.
The tree ornaments have been scattered, stashed under furniture for later, baptized in the bathtub and buried under the rug. They have been placed and replaced and taped back together. The wooden manger underneath the tree has a row of teeth marks that look like a beaver chewed it for lunch. Threats of permanent exile and temporary deportation in the snow hover in the air above the sounds of Christmas carols.
Bob and Harry sleep on the couch, after stashing a few stray ornaments underneath for later in the day, blissfully unaware of Christmas tree transgressions and the peril to their collective eighteen lives.
The Yearly Battle of the Christmas Cats
Each year when I put up my Christmas tree, I repeat the mantra of their Christmas tree transgressions and my cat safety commandments for cat and Christmas Tree survival. Veterinarians and pet experts do have some suggestions to keep your cat and your Christmas trees safe.
Cat Survival
Avoid using tinsel. Veterinarians warn that Tinsel lures cats with its glitter, but if cats swallow tinsel, it can do much damage to their digestive systems. There isn't a strand of tinsel in the house. Sigh of relief.
Spray light cords with bitter apple spray to discourage cats from chewing on them. Aerosol deodorant or antiperspirant sprays work too.
Bob thinks bitter apple is catnip and acts accordingly. He isn't as enthusiastic about tape. Sigh of frustration.
Protect Tree Water. The tree water keeps a Christmas tree from drying out, but thirsty pets want to drink it too. Drinking tree water isn't good for pets. It can make them sick. Protect your tree water with screen or mesh fabric duct taped over the pan. I have an artificial tree, so I don't worry about water. Sigh of weariness.
Clean up pine needles if you have a live tree. Eating pine needles can disrupt and seriously harm a cat's digestive system. My tree is fabric green branch artificial, so I just have to restrain Harry from nipping off branches and eating them like a chicken leg. Sigh of relief.
Avoid edible ornaments like candy canes. Cats know they are there and relentlessly hunt them down. One year when I was still becoming cat savvy, I put candy canes on the tree and over two nights acquired a new brand of candy cane, the teeth marks clearly visible among the stripes. Sigh of amusement.
Use a strong and steady tree stand. Put a small hook on the ceiling and attach a fishing string from the top of the tree to the hook. My tree stand has the strength of ten, but Bob and Harry combined are an eleven. Sigh of Resignation.
Avoid fresh mistletoe with its tempting red berries. Mistletoe and its red berries means a sweet treat instead of a kiss to cats and eating the leaves and berries can cause drops in blood pressure.
Avoid live holly and ivy. Ivy can give cats diarrhea, convulsions and occasionally even kill them if they eat large amounts of it.
Avoid Poinsettias as they can cause digestive harm to your cat. Poinsettias have large, red, white, pink or mottled leaves and they contain a thick milky, irritating sap. Veterinarians say that a cat would have to eat a large amount of poinsettia leaves or stems to harm your cat. Signs of poinsettia reaction include vomiting, anorexia, and depression. Other authorities say that they are not toxic to most cats. I wouldn't take a chance on Bob and Harry's Poinsettia self discipline or speculative the effects of ingested poinsettias on their digestive systems.
Christmas Tree Survival
Some cats don't like the way aluminum foil feels. To protect your Christmas tree, wrap the lower trunk of the tree in foil and extend the foil to make a tree skirt. Foil comes in a variety of colors and sparkles in the light, so it looks like part of the holiday décor.
Generally speaking, cats don't like the feel of pine cones. Pile pine cones around the base of your Christmas tree to keep cats away.
Some cats don't like the scent or oranges. Placing orange peels under and around the base of your Christmas tree might keep the cats away.
Use unbreakable ornaments. If you do put glass ornaments on your Christmas tree, place them closer to the top so it will be more difficult for your cats to reach them.
Unplug Christmas lights when you are not using them. Inspect them periodically for chew marks.
Use a baby gate to fence off your Christmas tree or keep it in a closed off room.
Bob and Harry's Feedback
Bob and Harry find the tree survival tip about using a baby gate to protect your Christmas tree particularly hilarious. They can zip to the top of the Christmas tree quicker than a ho ho ho, and bury themselves securely under the bed at a change in voice from indulgent to irate.
The Christmas Tree Will Survive, Bedraggled, but Recognizable and so Will Bob and Harry
I sit in the rocking chair by the Christmas tree after a long, hard day of snatching pieces of it back from the paws and jaws of Bob and Harry. I touch the tree with one glance and Bob and Harry with the other, and I think about the meaning of Christmas. The cats, the Christmas tree, and I are bathed in the light and meaning of Christmas. We all survive another year.

The first stage after the second rest day can often be decisive as riders respond differently to a day away from the pressures and exertions of racing.
With the climb of the famous Mortirolo rearing large on the profile, this stage had plenty going on and provided plenty for us to talk about. Here's our pick of the top five things that caught our attention from Tuesday's stage 16.
1. Aru's diem horribilis
Dropped, and then requiring a bike change, this really was a horrible day for the young Italian rider Fabio Aru.
The Astana team leader pressed on when a mechanical saw race leader Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) distanced off the back of the peloton before it reached the ascent of the Mortirolo. Some have questioned the sportsmanship of such a manoeuvre, but in the end it didn't matter anyway.
With Contador making short work of the catch, we might have expected a big GC battle. As it was Aru looked decidedly uncomfortable before looking completely beaten.
Contador then attacked and Landa followed. The pair soon joined Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo) to make a leading trio.
All the while, Aru was clearly in trouble as he had to zig-zag his way across the road on some of the steeper sections. With gritted teeth and still showing some fight as the climb continued, his GC contention disappeared as he lost time on Contador with every turn of the pedals.
This performance alone would have called into question Aru's right to be team leader, but his capitulation was only worsened by his teammate Landa's performance.
2. Landa's coup
As Landa followed Contador's attack without a backward glance to see if Aru would be able to join them, the leadership of Astana seemed to slip from Aru's hands and pass to Landa as he disappeared up the road.
This followed his ride on the early slopes of the Mortirolo where he looked like he was rolling out of the café stop whilst Aru, who was clinging onto his wheel, looked like he might need an oxygen tank. The contrast in styles showed the contrast in fortunes, and surely now hands the Astana leadership to the Basque rider.
Things got even better for Landa when he attacked Contador and Kruijswijk with 4km to go and went solo to the finish. The result saw him leapfrog Aru to move into second on GC and put his stamp on the team leadership.
3. Hesjedal isn't done yet
The 2012 pink jersey winner came into this year's edition with designs on a podium finish; an ambition that looked all but impossible after only a few stages. However, as today's stage proved, there's still fight left in the Cannondale-Garmin team leader.
Ryder Hesjedal did a lot of work early on in his futile solo break, and despite fading towards the end, he arrived in sixth place and rode himself into the top ten on GC. Less work earlier on and he may have been more competitive come the sharp end of the stage.
4. Kruiswijk is giving the Dutch something to cheer about
After spending days and days in breakaways earlier in the race and taking second on stage nine, Kruiswijk once again put himself in the move that mattered. The LottoNL-Jumbo rider looked strong as he ascended the Mortirolo, and then held his own as Contador and Landa continued the battle for the overall podium.
It wasn't until Landa's stage winning attack that the Dutch rider cracked but by now the group was so far ahead of the chasing pack that there was no need to panic and he rode in for second place on the stage.
>>> LottoNL-Jumbo: how do you save a cycling team?
This strong ride moves Kruiswijk from 14th to eighth on GC and into the lead in the blue mountains jersey competition. This performance gives his team and nation something to cheer as he's the only Dutch rider in the top ten and he's giving LottoNL-Jumbo their best results of the season so far.
5. This is the first stage not to have a new winner
With Mikel Landa's stage win, following on from his stage 15 victory the other side of the rest day, this is the first stage not to have a new winner.
Before today it was 15 stages and 15 different winners. This is the first edition of the race for sixty years for it to take so long for a rider to win more than one stage.
Usually a first week with plenty to offer the sprinters throws up a repeat winner or a dominant display from a pure climber during the first forays onto the race's slopes gives a multi-stage victor. However, this year has bucked those trends, until today.
This trend of new winners looks likely to fizzle out now as the GC shake-up is down to a few big names and the top tier sprinters will all want the win once the race leaves the mountains. This means that someone will likely get their second or third bottle of prosecco on each of the remaining stages.

The calendar is portrait format and my original painting is landscape format, so I had to do a lot of unfortunate Photoshop squishing once I received the news. But... still kinda cool.

Paperback, 128 Pages
Price: $16.07
Prints in 3-5 business days
Two plays by John Roman Baker. TOUCHED is a tense and erotically charged play. Two men, touched by desire and fear, attempt to break through the barriers that surround them. Barriers constructed by the fear of love and the memory of sexual abuse. Behind the personal story is a wider context. Economics and politics affect personal behaviour and attitudes. How close is too close? That's the question posed by TOUCHED. PRISONERS OF SEX presents ten characters, five situations and one obsession - unprotected sex. Vienna, London, Bratislava, Amsterdam and Berlin are the settings for scenarios that across Europe are being repeated and replayed. The themes are familiar, but the desires are compulsive, the motivations complex and the risks, shared. John Roman Baker has written an incisive, amusing, irreverent expose of gay male sex that entertains its audience while not flinching from the taboo of unprotected sex.

10 Ways Plants Could Endanger Your Roof
Taking care of your roof is one of the more important tasks around the house. Usually everyone will perform regular maintenance, from snow removal to moss cleanup. However, sometimes the biggest threats to your roof are from an unexpected source around the house that we grow ourselves. The plants, namely trees and other foliage in our yard proposed the biggest threat to the integrity of our roofs. Below are 10 ways the plants in our yard's could be endangering our roof.
1. Mould
Rooftop vines can hinder rain and snow runoff. This leads to water buildup below, these vines, which is a dark and damp environment and encourage mould growth.
2. Pests
Climbing vines create a ladder and ease of access from the ground straight to your rooftop. This can lead to problems with invasive species of ants, mites, and roaches or rodents like mice and squirrels.
3. Structural Damage
Strong vines can penetrate structures easily by removing shingles. Some species of vines are aggressive enough to raise a roof completely. Most vines are easily trimmable but once penetration occurs you will need to contact your a roof repair Vancouver company for repairs.
4. Moss
Moss's tiny roots are able to find openings and imperfection in your roof shingles and latch on for dear life. This compromises the roof seals, can cause shingle loss, and lead to wind intrusion.
5. Water Damage
Moss just like vines, form in a moist environment that is protected from direct sunlight. This encourages mould growth and can rot your shingles.
6. Pests
Adult trees that have overgrown are almost like an express lane right to your roof. Overgrown trees can provide access to a number of pests like raccoons, rats & mice, and squirrels. Once they are on the roof these pests can scratch and claw away at your shingles and enter your attic through the roof.
7. Structural Damage
If long branches touch your roof or grow directly above it poses a threat to your roof. Broken and fallen branches can leave holes and damage the shingles. The constant abrasion can also harm the shingles and rub away at them sometimes removing them completely.
8. Clogged Gutters
Leafs can get caught in the gutters leading the poor drainage. This can cause rot that may even extend to your rafters.
9. Invasive Growth
Fallen leaves can form drifts in the crevices in your roof which is ideal growing conditions for invasive species such as moss, mould, and weeds
10. Rot
As leaves decompose on top of your roof, they can form rot that can penetrate your shingles and cause extensive damage.
If you have any concerns about your roofing and how your external landscape is affecting it call Kanga Roofing. They can evaluate the situation and make suggestions to curb the negative side effects.

Packing up the family, loading the car, and trying to drive as far as we can without stopping seems like the theme for the months of November and December in our house. We are traveling and visiting and trying to cram in all the last-minute activities that were on our 2015 bucket list. And with all this traveling, things can get crazy. But I have a system for packing and traveling with kids that has helped keep everyone organized. I'm sharing my 6 tips for packing for a road trip with children!
Over the summer, I had a lot of my readers ask for tips for traveling with a toddler on a road trip. I am by no means an expert, but I have friends who are because they travel in the car with their kiddos quite a bit. They helped me generate this list of six tips to keep things running smoothly while traveling in a car with toddlers. These tips have helped keep my kids sane during the long road trips we are taking.
Once you have gathered up all the things you need to keep your kiddos occupied for the road trip, it's time to think about packing and loading up the car.
I will be sharing my six tips for ways to pack and load up the car with kids, because sometimes life is just easier when you drive instead of fly!
1. Make Lists
As I'm sure you have guessed, I start by making lists of what each family member needs for our trip. I create an individual list for each family member, making sure to include what specific items they need for the trip. I include diapers, pony-tail holders, jewelry, shoes, SleepSacks, blankies, phone chargers…you name it, it is probably on my list of things to pack.
I learned my lesson about not including every little thing on my list. When we flew to Arizona for a vacation, I didn't write that I needed the key to my parents' house. Well, we get to their house, and guess what…the garage door code box was broken, so we couldn't get into their house! It's the middle of summer so it's like a million degrees, and we have baby Eli. So moral of that story is to WRITE.DOWN.EVERYTHING!
I love using this free PDF downloadable printable checklist Packing Checklist for each family member I created a while ago. I print off four copies of the checklist, so that each one of our family members gets their own checklist. I find it easier to keep things organized by having each family member have their own list. I can make sure that we don't forget something specific for each person.
2. Make Outfits For The Trip
Once my lists are made, I try to pull outfits for our trip. I do this for each person in the family so that I am not over-packing. I take my list for one family member, and pull out clothes for the day, pajamas, socks, shoes, etc. Then I make outfits. I don't plan specific days for the outfits, but I do try to have them packed together, making it easier to remember what I had pulled while packing.
Also, when I make outfits, I have found that I rarely feel like I am missing something from my wardrobe at home. When I pack myself, I lay out my outfits with shoes, jewelry, and undergarments. I gave some helpful tips for packing your jewelry here!
3. Pack In Laundry Baskets
Whenever we go on a road trip, I always pack in laundry baskets. I especially love using the Rubbermaid Stack N' Sort Nesting laundry baskets because I can stack two baskets on top of each other in the back of our car. And then I can get three baskets across the back of the trunk of the car.
I try to organize how I pack the clothes based on where each family member will be sleeping. The last time we went to my parents' house, I ended up sleeping upstairs in my old room with Eli in my room. Then Ben slept in the basement with Adleigh in the crib. I ended up having to sort the clothes many times and some clothes didn't get worn because they didn't make it to the room where that family member was sleeping.
This time, I am packing each family member with their own laundry basket. This way I know everyone will get their own clothes, diapers, toiletries, etc. Then, I can use the laundry baskets to do laundry at my parents house. It really helps keep things organized while we are away from home.
I also love being able to pack in laundry baskets because it makes things so easy when we come home and I can just throw everything in the wash. I try to sort our clothing into baskets into dirty and clean clothes for when we make the trip back home. I can just take the dirty laundry basket and get started on laundry right away.
4. Toiletries
I try to pack my toiletries for a road trip the same as if I were flying. I do this because it really keeps down the amount of stuff we have to bring for a long drive. I hate feeling super crammed into a car for a long road trip, so I try to pack light.
Sometimes I prefer to bring my large-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and face wash because it actually is more convenient. When I pack my regular-sized bottles, I am not loosing a lot of product during the transfer from the travel-size bottle back to the regular-sized bottle.
I make sure that I put everything I need for toiletries down on my list. I typically keep my make-up separate from my make-up brushes. I put my make-up and brushes in pouches I get from the make-up counter. Then my shampoo, face wash, contact solution, etc. goes into a plastic baggie if anything spills. This happens a lot to me when I travel. I have found it better just to pack it in baggies. Then, if I don't spill anything in that baggie, I will store it in a pouch until the next time I travel.
5. Packing The Car
All your items are packed, so it is time to start packing the inside of the car. I always start with the putting in the important items first, such as the books, toys, and food. I have to recommend that you have the cooler and baggies with snacks packed close to the front of the car. It makes things so much easier when the kids need a snack.
I hang the kids backpacks filled with books and activities to the back of the driver and passenger's chairs using sturdy clips like this one. This way, they can grab for activities while we are driving so they can stay occupied without me having to be sitting in the backseat to do so. I have horrible motion sickness, so that is just not a good idea!
I keep the diaper bag with diapers, wipes, and changing pad on my daughter's side of the car, closest to the door. This way I can easily access the diaper bag when we make stops without having to take everything out of the car just to get to the bag. I recommend putting anything you will need for pit-stops in the diaper bag, making it easy to grab and run into a restaurant, play space, or rest stop.
Then I fill around or under the most important items for the car ride, with the remaining items we don't need for the car ride. For example, I will put our computers and cameras under the diaper bag, because we don't need them for the road trip, but the should stay inside the car instead of being stuck in the trunk.
6. Loading The Trunk
I put all five of our laundry baskets in the trunk of our Kia Sportage. They fit snuggle in the trunk, but I know that nothing with really move around back there as we are driving. Using the stacking handles of the laundry baskets, I stack them two-high and three-across.
When packing the laundry baskets, I try to put the fuller baskets on the bottom, and the baskets that don't have as much stuff on the top. I have found that not as much stuff falls out when you pack the trunk this way. Since we only have five of the laundry baskets, we end up have one basket that is just a single basket, with no other basket to go on top of it. That is the basket we usually fill with the kids bedding, pillows, shoes, and other larger items that might overflow the basket. This way, we can pack it nice and high and it will stay in place because of the other two baskets.
So who is ready for some holiday travel now that you know my road trip packing tips? Remember to make lists using my Packing Checklist. Print off one checklist for each member of the family, write what they need, and check it off as you pack. Plan out your clothes based on outfits, including jewelry and shoes, so you won't forget anything you might need. Pack in stackable laundry baskets, which make it easy to do laundry when you come home. Pack toiletries like you are flying on a plane to reduce the amount of stuff you are bringing on your road trip. Pack the inside of the car by starting with the most used items first, then filling in the space around and under with other items you don't need for the drive. Finally, pack the laundry baskets in the trunk by putting the fuller laundry baskets on the bottom, and the rest of the baskets on top of them. This way it will hold down everything in the fuller laundry baskets.

I could write so much about my time with Aimee and Adam for their PEI engagement session! These two are simply the sweetest and most genuine souls I have ever met.
First off, it should be mentioned Aimee is an absolutely gifted when it comes to make-up. She is a talented make-up artist in PEI (based out of Charlottetown). She is an already a seasoned wedding pro, and everyone should take a moment and check out her page. I can never stop telling my brides that excellent professional makeup is soooo important for your images. Her sweet personality, sense of humor, and mad skills would be a tremendous asset to any wedding day!
I was thrilled when Amy, Adam and their wedding planning met me the evening before the shoot. Their sweet wedding planner Kristina of KLF Weddings was a pleasure to meet too. I know she is going to help plan the wedding of their dreams at the PEI Brewery this summer! Kristina is professional, organized and oh so adorable.
'Well the day came and nothing could stop these two troopers from rocking their engagement session. I will let you in on a secret ... it was m-i-g-h-t-y cold that day! We opted to do the first half of the session inside before braving the elements.
Aimee and Adam are such rockstars they could even make window light look good. Yup most of these images were created using simple window light. They are just that good looking they dont need any help just a bit of soft light.
For the outside pictures we got to have more fun. They showed the beautiful areas behind their home. A little stream, a beautiful field... it was everything we need to take a few more snaps! Despite the cold we shared many great laughs. Hanging out with these guys was the best.
I just want to say thank you again Aimee and Adam. Thank you for allowing me to capture you, sharing a tiny piece of your life with me, and inviting me to your beautiful island! I hope you enjoy, love and share these images for a long time to come :)

Before Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish there was only one British Darling of the Tour de France. Tom Simpson, a man from humble beginnings would set so many firsts for British cyclists, he would go on to be the hero of British cycling until his tragic and untimely death at the age of just 29. So alone was he in the pantheon of British road cycling greats it would be two generations before many of his achievements would be matched by another British rider.
Tom Simpson was born in Haswell, County Durham on 30th November 1937 to his mother Alice and his father Tom, a former semi-professional sprinter turned coal miner. The youngest of six children he didn't touch his first bicycle until he was twelve years old which belonged to his brother-in-law, sharing it with his elder brother Harry and two cousins. By the age of twelve the Simpson family had moved to Harworth in Nottinghamshire closer to Simpson's aunt and Tom had joined the local cycling club riding time trials from the age of thirteen onwards. He delivered groceries on his bike as a child and used the time as training at one point trading his bike with that of a customer in order to get a better racing bike.
Slowly Simpson began winning time trials with the Harworth and District Cycling Club but sensed friction between him and some of the senior club members this lead him to leave the club and join up at nearby Rotherham at the age of 17. When he left school he became an apprentice draughtsman (doing technical drawings) at an engineering company in Retford some 10 miles from his home. The commute became his training route as Simpson became enamoured with the world of cycling and road cycling in particular.
Simpson was told that in order to improve his road racing chances then he needed more experience in track cycling, in particular the pursuit discipline. The pursuit is an endurance discipline in track cycling terms, raced over 4km, with many of the qualities required for road cycling. Two men on opposite sides of the track race each other race around in an attempt to catch each other. If someone is caught and over taken then they lose the race, but more often than not the race will continue until the distance is covered and the person who covers the distance in the fastest time is declared the winner. It requires drive, belief and a lot of individual pacing, often you will not be able to see your opponent you need to trust your pace and your ability in order to win, much like parts of road racing.
Simpson's rise was rapid and he was selected as part of the 1956 Olympics Team pursuit squad, they won bronze but Simpson blamed himself for over cooking a corner from which they were unable to recover in the semi-final against Italy. In 1958 he won silver in the Commonwealth games in Cardiff in the individual pursuit but his affair with the track would only last until 1959. In Early 1959 Simpson moved to Brittany with £100 in savings and two bikes given to him by Manufacturer Carlton, 1 track bike and 1 road bike for his assistance in promoting their brand. He signed his first professional contract in that year for a whopping £80 per week with the St. Raphaël-Géminiani-Dunlop team. His progress in 1959 was good and he was moved to their first team squad Rapha-Gitane-Dunlop for the end of season classics.
In 1960 he took part in his first Tour de France, his team manager opposed his entry but as le Tour was contested by National squads at the time Simspon was invited by the British Squad to take part. He was involved in several breakaways and was placed as high as fifth after stage 2. He survived several crashes to finish 29th overall, a more than respectable performance for a rookie on the tour. Over the course of the tour Simpson had lost over 2 stones in weight.
In 1961 he accomplished one of his many firsts. After finishing 5th in one the tour of Paris-Nice he went to win the 1961 Tour of Flanders in March of that year, becoming the first and only British man to do so to date and the first British man to win one of cycling's Monuments Classics in 65 years. The rest of the year would be a disappointment however; he was injured after being hit by a press car which was swerving to avoid a pot hole in the Paris-Roubaix whilst leading a solo attack out in front. He would injure his knee and require stitches finishing 88th. The knee injury bothered him for the rest of the year, though he was forced to enter the Tour de France that year he abandoned after stage 3.
When 1962 rolled around Simpson's desire to lead a team resulted in his signing for Gitane-Leroux-Dunlop, his form was good going into the tour that year and he was the undisputed leader of that team. Simpson was well placed after stage 11 sitting 3rd overall as the tour moved to its first mountain stage. Simpson saw this as an opportunity to strike for the lead; he made his move over the legendary Col du Tourmalet working himself clear of his rivals for the Maillot Jaune, though he was eventually caught finishing 18th in a bunch sprint, he had put enough distance between him and his rivals to put him clear in the general classification and wear the Yellow Jersey. In accomplishing this feat he became the first ever British man to wear the Yellow Jersey and would remain the only Brit to do so for the next 32 years until the great Chris Boardman won the prologue of the 1994 tour. Despite a nasty crash in which he broke a finger in which he was only saved from disappearing over a cliff by a tree, he finished the tour in 6th place, which would remain the highest place by a British Rider until Bradley Wiggins would finish 3rd overall in the 2009 Tour followed by his and Chris Froome's wins.
Early in 1963 Simpson won the 346 mile Bordeaux-Paris one day race attacking 22 miles from the end to win the longest race of his career. He opted against the Tour de France that year to concentrate on the world road race championship, it would finish in disappointment for him however as while he was involved in a break with plenty of quality riders, Simpson couldn't get the other riders to work together and they were eventually caught and swollowed up into the Peloton.
Simpson's next first would come in 1964 when he won the 55th edition of the Milan – San Remo classic, his second monuments classic and the only British rider to win until Mark Cavendish achieved the same some 44 years later. He rode the 1964 Tour de France finishing 14th overall, it was later that he discovered he's ridden the entire tour with tapeworms!
The Rainbow Jersey, worn by the world champion would remain elusive for Simpson until 1965, after an ill-fated but heroic attempt in 1964 which saw Simpson come back from a crash to catch the leaders before being dropped towards the end finishing 6 seconds behind. In '65 however he would achieve his goal. After being forced to abandon the Tour de France due to chronic bronchitis Simpson had a low key entry into the World Championships held in San Sebastián, Spain. The 14 lap course was set up nicely for Simpson, but the British team had little support and funding. They had to get by on what they could beg borrow and steal from other teams in order to support themselves. During the first lap a break was started by fellow brit Barry Hoban, Simpson and his team mates managed to bridge the gap to Hoban and form a strong breakaway. The pace of the break was strong and was enough to keep the other main contenders out of contention and with 2 and a half laps remaining Simpson and German rider Rudi Altig broke clear. They stayed together until the 1 kilometre mark when Simpson pounced. He held off Altig by three bike lengths to become Britain's first ever world road race champion. It would be 46 years until there would be another Brit would wear rainbow Jersey when Mark Cavendish would win in 2011.
After his success in the world championships, Simpson won his 3rd monuments classic, the Giro di Lombardia, remaining the only Brit to win the race to this date, it was his third and last monuments classic win. To this day his 3 monuments classic wins are more than any other British Rider. Simpson began 1966 by breaking his leg in a Skiing incident; the injury hit season saw him suffer greatly leading to many retirements and disappointments throughout the year. The Rainbow Jersey would prove to curse him.
Simpson began planning his retirement in 1967 at the age of 29. He had planned to retire at the age of 33 so was gearing up for one last big contract. His contract was due to expire at the end of 1967 and as many as 10 teams were trying to sign him. He set himself the goal of winning the 1967 Tour de France, and if he couldn't do that then at least win some stages or hold the Yellow Jersey for a period. Simpson had a verbal agreement with Italian team Salvarani who had offered him joint leadership of the team, the value of his potential contract would increase if he could achieve some or all of his goals meaning his retirement would be all the sweeter.
He began the season riding stage races as opposed the classics as he had earlier in his career, in March of '67 he rode in the Paris-Nice stage race, which he would go on to win becoming the first British rider to achieve this, the next would be Bradley Wiggins 45 years later in his successful 2012 campaign. After the Milan-San Remo he rode the Vuelta a España as further warm up for the tour. This would be the only other one of cycling's Grand Tours he would ride. He won Stages 5 and 16 of that tour finishing 33rd overall but there were worrying signs on that tour. On stage 11 Simpson began to lose control while out in front of the peloton and was forced to stop by his team manager until he had recovered. By the time he got going again the peloton had passed, it was unknown at the time but Simpson had visited hospital during the Vuelta.
Simpson targeted 3 key stages in the 1967 tour which he saw as key to securing his goals and in doing so his long term financial future, one of which was stage 13 over the mighty Mont Ventoux. Simpson was well placed going into the second week of the tour, placed 6th ahead of all his rivals for the Maillot Jaune. However Simpson fell ill before the tenth stage suffering sickness and diahorrea, unable to eat, and with his strength he lost time on his rivals and he dropped to 7th overall in the General Classification.
On the evening before stage 13, one which Simpson had targeted and while still desperately ill team manager Gaston Plaud pleaded with Simpson to withdraw due to illness, his manager on the other hand pushed him for better results. It was a debate won by his manager and its result would turn out to be fatal. Stage 13 from Marseille to Carpentras crossed the mighty Mont Ventoux, the weather was hot, extremely hot, with temperatures reportedly reaching as high as 54oC. Tour doctor Pierre Dumas was quoted as saying "If the boys stick their nose in a 'topette' [bag of drugs] today, we could have a death on our hands." and tragically that is exactly what happened.
During the stage, just before the of the slopes of Mont Ventoux around the base of the mountain, Simpson was seen by his team mechanic leaving a building along the route putting the lid back on his bottle. It later transpired he was adding brandy to his bottle. Towards the summit the peloton started to break up into smaller groups as the riders struggled with the climb. Simpson managed to break off into the lead group for a while before slipping back to a group about 1 minute back. Shortly after this he started to lose control of his bike weaving all over the road.
About 1 kilometer from the summit Simpson fell, his team car caught up with him quickly to help. His team mechanic Harry Hall pleaded with Simpson to quit the race but Simpson insisted on continuing. Team manager Alec Taylor also in the car was told "If Tom, wants to go on, he goes." Screaming at Hall to put the straps back on his pedals they pushed him off and off he climbed again. His last words heard by Hall were "ON ON ON", They would be the last words anybody would hear him say. 500 yards later Simpson began to wobble again. He was caught by three spectators who tried to hold him up, before they gently lowered him to the ground. His hands still tightly gripping his handlebars as they lowered him to the ground. Hall and a tour nurse continued to give Simpson mouth to mouth before an oxygen mask was brought to the scene. 40 minutes later Simpson was airlifted to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
I wasn't going to include the video of Simpson's final moments in this article, after writing this article and studying Simpson for several days it was harrowing to basically watch a man die. However I did so for reasons which will hopefully become apparent.
In the pouches of Simpson's Jersey were two empty tubes and one half empty tube of what was labelled Tonedron, an Amphetamine, which is stimulant. This stimulant, combined with brandy and the sickness diarrhea which he was struggling with formed a diuretic combination which combined with the intense heat would prove fatal. The cause was cardiac failure, at the age of 29 Tom Simpson rode to his death unknowingly riding past the limits of his body dying in his saddle with his hands tightly wrapped around his handlebars. He so high on amphetamines that he could no longer feel his body screaming at him to stop.
It is for that reason I included the video in this article. When ever people or athletes just accept that doping is just part of their sport, or when people make those silly jokes saying they'd love to see what happens when all the athletes are doped up to improve the spectacle remember that doping controls don't just exist to ensure a fair an honest competition. Doping controls exist to save athletes from themselves, they are a different and competitive breed and will in most cases do anything to win and in many cases unwittingly risk their lives to do so.
Its important to note that Simpson broke no rules, there were no doping controls in cycling in the Tour de France at that time, and its certain Simpson was not the only on doping on that day. No safety controls existed in the tour either, In 1967 the tour was approximately 1000km (that's not a typo) longer than its modern day counterpart.
Simpson's death lead to the first mandatory drug tests in the 1968 Tour de France, along with the Summer Olympics and the Giro d'Italia of that year. Some in the cycling community view him as a Pariah, to others he was a hero and an inspiration to British cycling, the establishment seemingly less enthused to honour him than the flurry of riders quick to acknowledge the man.
Tom Simpson died 48 years ago today (13th July 2015), His memorial stands near the summit of Mont Ventoux and is considered a pilgrimage by cycling fans. It is often found covered in bottles, tyres, jerseys and other cycling paraphernalia left as tributes.
Tom Simpson – British Cycling's Tragic Hero
Before Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish there was only one British Darling of the Tour de France. Tom Simpson, a man from humble beginnings would set so many firsts for British cyclists, he would go on to be the hero of British cycling until his tragic and untimely death at the age of just 29. So alone was he in the pantheon of British road cycling greats it would be two generations before many of his achievements would be matched by another British rider.

text: Among the things that media views once they are deciding what to advertise or discuss is what effect that subject could have on different social groups. The media does whatever it may to have some kind of impact on whatever market they are going after. The intelligent marketer uses that commotion to their advantage. They will ride the wave. Among the hardest thing for any marketer to do, whether on-line or off, is to create a stir around what they are trying to provide. You've to have some level of enthusiasm surrounding your product or service for this to see any success at all. It can seem as you try to get everyone to observe you and to get them to even care like you're beating your mind against a wall many times. To get more information, we know people take a peep at video email. I'm certain that you think that you've something that is extremely important to provide people. Until you can convince and educate them that it is important, it will not be just got by them and you'll not manage to get thier business. There is an easy method that one may get by with no to complete all the work of attempting to produce enthusiasm and educate the people about your offering. Like that would be to let the greater media outlets do all of the work. If you have an opinion about English, you will maybe claim to read about Social Media Whos In Control?. Be taught new info on read this by going to our provocative wiki. Create a marketing strategy that uses that work that the media does. Often you will luck out and see that there is a large commotion linked to anything you are providing already and a little bit will be only taken by it to obtain the social groups enthusiastic about what you have. Sometimes you will need to use your imagination and locate a relationship between some thing big that is going on in the media that's a huge influence on social categories of one kind or yet another. When that relationship is found by you, though, you can find a strategy that can make that connection obvious. You will have to become knowledgeable and look at what's hot on tv or on the Web. Search for what're common subjects on the regular press, what developments are warm in the world of money, or what news is going on in social groups. What are things that is common? Probably you are planning to find something which your service or product can connect with. There are times, however, that it might be good to consider the media and choose an item or service that is reasonable, that social groups of one kind or still another are buzzing about. Choose a thing that there is already a lot of excitement about. Watch developments and if you see something that is starting to get some attention in a few social groups, it might be something that will take off and has widespread appeal. Benefit from these exact things. On your own you will be trying hard to make waves about what you're trying to market but what you will wind up making is really a tiny ripple. An intelligent marketer will observe the tsunami's being produced by the greater media outlet and will use a marketing strategy that capitalizes on the big splash they make on the bigger social teams sleeping on the beach..

About the course
We offer a unique Primary General Teacher Training programme for graduates. Trainees on our School Direct programme will be allocated a school in our Alliance for one academic year, all of which are outstanding or good. We provide a personalised and supportive training approach and therefore the location of your 'home' school will be taken into consideration.
The majority of time will be spent in your 'home' school with additional teaching in an 'away' school in the Alliance. You will have two Teaching Practice blocks in your 'home' school and one in your 'away'. The 'away' school is a contrasting experience which supports your development into a good to outstanding teacher.
St.Mary and St.Thomas C.E. Primary Alliance treat our trainees as professionals who are part of the school team. You will have a Personal Learning Coordinator in both your 'home' and 'away' school who will support your development. Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and is measured against the Teacher Standards.
The taught element of our School Direct programme will be delivered by outstanding and specialised trainers from our teaching School partnership – Head teachers, Specialist Leaders in Education, experienced consultants and outstanding practitioners who are still involved in teaching. The majority of the training sessions take place at our training centre at St.Mary and St.Thomas C.E. Primary school and in our Strategic Partner schools.
Working in partnership with Liverpool Hope University, we provide our trainees with a strong school- centred postgraduate route into teaching but with the added benefit of studying for a Masters level with Masters credits. The teaching at Masters Level will be delivered by Liverpool Hope University. You will attend Liverpool Hope University for 12 days and complete two assignments throughout the year.
This programme offers a wide range of training opportunities to enhance your job applications including: training in Read,Write,Inc and Dyslexia Awareness. We are also proud to be the first TSA to trial and develop the Anglican Church School award. This was developed last year in association with Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool Dioceses, Expert Practitioners and R.E. Specialist Leaders in Education. We are pleased to offer this to you as part of this training programme. Support in applications for teaching posts and interviews is included.
This training programme was graded as "outstanding" by external Quality Assurance processes. However, student voice is important to us and we are always looking at ways to continuously evolve.
Interview process
Interviews take place at our Lead school or at one of our Strategic Partner schools. There will be at least two representatives from all our partners, including university, on the interview panel. The interview process includes a group presentation, book read to a class and formal interview. You will also be asked to complete a written English task and a Mathematics task. Prior to the interview, you will be given the year group in which your reading/task from your chosen book will be made.
If you are successful at interview and offered a place, we will allocate your 'home' and 'away' placement schools. These schools will either be Strategic Partner schools or schools within our Alliance.
How school placements work
We offer a personalised approach and therefore we aim to allocate placements which are 'best fit' for your development.
In addition to your 'home' and 'away' school, you also have 2 day placements in our partner High School, Special School and in Foundation Stage. We believe that these placements are important and enhance your training within the Primary Phase.
Financial support
You may be eligible for a loan while you study.
Financial support if you're from outside the UK.
Financial support from the training provider
Please follow this link for information and contact Finance at Liverpool Hope University for any further queries.
You should have or be expected to achieve an Undergraduate Honours degree (or recognised equivalent) .The degree classification should be at 2:1 or above. However strong applicants with a 2:2 will be considered.
GCSE Grade C or above in English, Mathematics and Science.
Relevant experience in a school setting is beneficial for your application, but not essential.
Personal qualities
We are looking for individuals with a professional approach who will become positive members of the school community. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a passion for teaching and resilience. The ability to communicate clearly, fluently and accurately in spoken and written Standard English and strong organisational skills are essential.
The ability to articulate views on the principles and practice of education particularly as it relates to teaching of the Primary phase is also important.
A range of interests and skills is desirable.
About the training provider
St.Mary and St.Thomas C.E. Primary Alliance is an established School Direct provider which is part of the St.Helens Teaching School Alliance. Being part of the St.Helens Teaching School Alliance,(TSA), means that we are able to offer you high quality training and personal support, not just during your Initial Teacher Training, but also in your NQT year and throughout your career. In addition, as one of only 35 Maths Hubs in the country, we are able to provide outstanding training at the forefront of developments in Education. This means that our trainees receive the best possible training. During 2017/18, 67% of our trainees gained a grade 1. We work closely with our Strategic Partners and Partner schools, which are all outstanding or good, across St.Helens, Wigan, Bolton, Halton, Knowsley and Liverpool. We have around 50 placement schools and are therefore large enough to offer you a wide range of teaching experiences but small enough to give you the personal support to facilitate your individual development. You will receive training from a team of specialist trainers from within our Alliance: Specialist Leaders in Education, Heads and Deputy Heads, Personal Learning coordinators and experienced class teachers. We aim to recruit and train high quality, aspiring primary school teachers. On completion, of the programme, our trainees are sought after by employees both within our Alliance schools and beyond, due to the reputation which we have established.

20's Plenty – our village road safety campaign
Click here to see the proposals in map form [ddownload id="1324″]
Northumberland County Council is to introduce 20 mph zones adjacent to all schools. This links to findings of the Parish Questionnaire (November 2014) where respondents identified road safety as a major concern with 54% respondents saying that the speed of traffic was the main problem throughout the village. Areas particularly highlighted were:
- Approach to the Village (A6079)
- Garden House Bank
- Main Street
- and in the vicinity of Acomb First School.
The volume of traffic – parked cars (particularly on pavements) – narrow pavements – all exacerbated the safety concerns identified above, making pedestrians feel further unsafe.
"Farm vehicles and cars from top of village speeding down through the village"
"…all the traffic does is come flying through the village – slow down to the speed camera and then speed away again."
"…dangerous for pedestrians. Large wagons thundering past."
"…the situation is horrendous. Huge lorries a few feet from properties travelling at speed…"
In order to address this, there is a proposal to make Acomb a 20mph zone. This measure has been proposed by County Councillor for Hexham Central with Acomb, Terry Robson, supported by Acomb Parish Council .
This proposal is on the back of an on-going safety initiative by Northumberland County Council to introduce 20 mph zones adjacent to all schools within Northumberland over the next 5 years. Acomb is in this current year's programme with the introduction of a 20mph zone adjacent to Acomb First School, planned for implementation in April 2016.
Some of the Myths that are stated:
- No 20mph limits on A or B roads – UNTRUE
- No 20mph limit if current average speed is over 24 mph – UNTRUE
- No 20mph if local police are unsupportive – UNTRUE
- or 20mph limits are not enforceable – UNTRUE
- There haven't been enough casualties on this road – UNTRUE

This article contains some spoilers for Ex Machina.
If there's one thing I love about science fiction, it is the proliferation of mind-blowing technologies in peak perfection. It's not necessarily the ideas themselves that grab me, (though many are pretty awesome), but the fact that scientists and engineers strive hard to deliver on those ideas in real life. Who saw the driverless Audis in I, Robot, and didn't think "I have got to get me one of those!"? And now you can!
What could possibly go wrong?
And what happens when the real world starts mirroring the resulting hybrid?
I first watched Ex Machina six months ago, and was at once fascinated and horrified with the questions it raised. But over time it drifted from my mind, until the day I first saw Sophia. She was activated four months after the initial release of Ex Machina, and has since trolled Elon Musk, mildly threatened the human race (in jest, I hope), and become the first android to be awarded citizenship by any country in the world. (Look her up. Seeing is believing.)
Directed by Alex Garland, and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, and Sonoya Mizuno, Ex Machina begins with Caleb (Gleeson), an employee at a mega-search engine/social media company (think Google), being invited for a once-in-a-lifetime visit to his reclusive genius CEO's house for a week. He is dropped off by helicopter in a forest clearing and told he has to walk the last couple of miles, because the boss doesn't like visitors. He arrives at a fully automated house that looks like it's fortified against everything from nuclear warheads, to Spinosaurus attacks.
Thankfully the house itself turns out to be a clean-cut, minimalist affair with strong hints at Lloyd Wright organic architecture that completely belie the bunker-like front façade. Enter the boss, Nathan – manically portrayed by Mr. Isaac – who just wants to hang out like normal people, and whose relatively easy-going first meeting puts me at ease. (Never mind the windowless guest bedroom to which Caleb is shown, and the key-card that only opens certain doors in the house.) So far, so creepy.
It transpires that Caleb has been chosen to perform a Turing test on Nathan's latest creation: an AI android called Ava (Vikander). This is no run of the mill test, though. Nathan has already established that she would pass as a human in blind conversation. Now he wants to see if Caleb can detect consciousness, while being aware that Ava is a machine. Caleb complies and proceeds to test Ava under the pretext of making conversation.
Alicia Vikander is astonishing here. Minute facial tics and sometimes almost imperceptibly stilted head and limb movements give a convincing impression of non-biological machinery at play. My second commendation goes to the effects crew, who managed to show Ava's machinery under a fine mesh, leaving the viewer uncomfortably divided between focussing on her latex-skinned human face, or on the cut-outs of her body where optics, metal skeleton and wiring can be seen in full detail.
As the story quietly unfolds, Caleb runs several tests, discussing art and love and dreams with Ava, discussing findings with Nathan, and brainstorming the nature of consciousness and how to further delve into Ava's mind. Perhaps the quietness, the intelligence of conversation, and simple beauty of the sets are what mask a growing tension I don't acknowledge is there.
I am brushing off Nathan's heavy drinking and mercurial shifts from "one of the guys" to egocentric genius bordering on psychopathic megalomania. I grit my teeth watching his treatment of his mute Japanese housekeeper-cum-"dance" partner, Kyoko (Mizuno). Even when the house goes into lockdown, because the power has tripped, I buy into Nathan's reasoning that being locked into a windowless room is a security measure, because "otherwise anyone could open the place up by disabling the juice". But in the back of my mind lurks the thought that this man does not deserve the title of "god". (Yes, he literally goes there). At the same time, I'm silently rooting for Ava and Caleb, who are developing what feels like a forbidden love for one another.
But, much like Ravel's Bolero, I'm suddenly aware of the imminent crescendo, as all of these minute details suddenly interlock into a grotesque image of a man gone mad with his own genius, a sentient creature of childlike naiveté desiring freedom, and the hapless soul who would help her escape, out of love.
My horror finally manifests, when Caleb discovers the remains of the androids who had come before Ava, shut away in cupboards in Nathan's bedroom. The story of Bluebeard brought into the 21st century and made so real, the hair is standing up on the back of my neck.
I cheer as Caleb designs and enacts a plan to ensure that both he and Ava can escape this mausoleum and its insane owner…
This film is perfect on so many levels, it is impossible to describe everything within word-count constraints. While it has a slow build, the climax will give the perfect level of horror, thrill, and astonishment. This tapestry was woven with such finesse, that I feel it will take several viewings to fully comprehend every detail, from the simple, yet visually exquisite beginning, to the brutality of the surprise ending, that even I couldn't see coming.
Watch it!
