reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing

 I just said that some people who are claiming disabled pensions are not really 100% disabled and I think the welfare system will not allow this situation to continue. And yet I understand why people act as they do ... both claiming benefits and others disputing the right of other people to claim them. If you are genuine then you are genuine. Only you really know.

You say you are but how can I believe you? So many people have lied to me that I can't tell who is telling the truth. And I mean many people have lied to me. You've got no idea how many people I've met and I know have lied to me. I'm not saying you are one of them, I'm saying I know that many people have lied to me and can't tell who is lying and who is not. I have also seen that many people who are poor in Third World counties, much much poorer than in the West, and I want them to be my first priority.

Maybe you are not richer than those in the Surrey stockbroker belt but you are much richer than those people I have met in India and Nepal. It is these people who first command my charity. I've seen so many people in India and Nepal who need my help more than you that I can not forsake them.

Emma I think if you had to work you would do so. If you were stuck in a Third World country you would do so to survive. You wouldn't need to rest and recover for 'stress'. There is a fight in us all.

Leaving the house fills me with fear, doing complex tasks with responsibility leaves me exhausted for days. I sleep two or three as much as I used to, and I'm hoping the new pills work. If I had to go out and look for a job now, I'd be in a puddle of tears by the end of the day, and I'd need to sleep for a week. A four hour shift as a cashier would take me a few days to get over.

A removal would be £400-500 or so. Again, if the DSS is making her move, they ought at least lend her the cash.

Is anyone willing to state that money is better spend on keeping a tiny number of claimants in nice houses in expensive area, than on education or healhcare? If you're not, then we're just down to arguing about practicalities.

Ok, let us examine that a bit. Now – I'm not on benefits but in order to move I have to:

A: find a suitable house that is available
B: have enough money for a deposit
C: have enough money to afford the van to move; time off work to move etc.

Now if someone's on benefits – how the hell are they going to save up enough money for a deposit? If someone's on benefits then they have to find a landlord willing to accept someone on benefits. If someone's on benefits who moves from one area to another then they also have to close one claim and submit a second which can mean that they won't have benefits for months. That's assuming the second claim is accepted and they're not suddenly in the situation that they have no money at all. I can completely understand why she isn't moving right now – the system is completely set up to make it totally impossible.

I've not yet met anyone on benefits – be they housing, JSA or disability who wants to be on benefits; who doesn't want to work instead. However there are times when you can't work; for whatever reason – be it health, job availability or other circumstances. Single parents rarely become single parents by choice. Do the Tories seriously think that a single parent who's become a widow(er); or someone who's fled an abusive partner is the demon of society?

The other thing that Penny hasn't pointed out is that whilst yes, this is an issue which will mainly effect women; it's also going to effect men both directly and as a knock-on effect – and the effects aren't going to be firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-8299341039052410162010-07-04T01:45:20.517+01:002010-07-04T01:45:20.517+01:00@rob: Yes I agree with you that the government sh...@rob: Yes I agree with you that the government should focus their cuts on defence. It is such a waste that people's money is being spent on trident missiles.

But the government does as you say need to cut down on expenditure in order to reduce the 156 billion pounds annual deficit. It is important to recognise that so many people are claiming disability pensions when in fact they are not really too disabled to work. For many people it is much easier to become one of the 'disabled' than it is to work in badly paid unrewarding jobs or go through the trouble of signing on. It's a dilemma because some people are genuinely too disabled to work but at the same time there are many that are able at least to do some part-time work. The solution is to have more flexibility in the work place and the disability pension scheme which would enable 'disabled' people to do say 6-8 hours a week work without affecting their pension.Carol email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-73563515487689989112010-07-03T19:33:14.180+01:002010-07-03T19:33:14.180+01:00>Plus, 30 minutes a day commute is 5 whole hour...>Plus, 30 minutes a day commute is 5 whole hours per week.

That's how almost every single working parent in London already lives.

Yes, most people who have to move out of London (actually often the entire SE) because they chose to have a family have found that.

Could they all get a subsidy worth over £21k a year too? Is this a sane way to spend public money? Is it worth the wage of a nurse in Hull to keep a London family in a house most private sector workers could never conceivably afford?

(Yes, the housing market's broken. But until we can make it politically acceptable to reign in mortgage lending and raise interest rates, we're stuck with the economy we have.)

It turns out that in 2003 (at the height of New Labour's reign) single parents were already being discriminated against by the transfer system.

The specific UK figures are a little out of context, but they essentially outline the situation of working low-income single parents and low-income couples where one parent works. Compared to the average weekly wage, single parents who are entitled to welfare benefits get a net result of 58% APW, while couples get a net result of 66% of APW, even though the second parent is assumed to earn no income.

According to the OECD calculator (http://www.oecd.org/document/18/0,3343,en_2649_34637_39717906_1_1_1_1,00.html) things had improved by 2008. A single parent earning 65% of the average weekly wage got a net benefit of 4.4% of APW, while a married couple where the sole earner has a wage that is 65% of the average gets a net benefit of 5.1% of APW.

I suspect that some of this has to do with the fact that women are still paid less than men, and that industries dominated by women are generally financially undervalued (e.g. nurses & teachers), but I imagine that there is also a public policy firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-69363074942795078462010-07-02T18:54:36.015+01:002010-07-02T18:54:36.015+01:00I just read the following on a blog by some prick ...I just read the following on a blog by some prick calling himself Old Holborn.

To some extent the system is already compromised by its own inability to force absent fathers to pay their fair share. Those who do are unfairly penalised (as are the mothers as their benefits are often greatly reduced) while many manage to escape paying up. To a large extent this is as much as "moral judgment" - i.e. that men really shouldn't have to be responsibile for the consequences of their actions. I do think that the current system facilitates this and indeed tacitly rewards women who opt out of trying to seek support from fathers, instead choosing the state support system as an easier alternative.

I do think this is also the reason why the CSA failed so spectacularly - its because its so ingrained in our culture that men shouldn't have to pay the consequences for their behaviour, while women should be demonised for ever more.

George Osborne is forcing her to to move 30 minutes north. It would be pain. I don't envy her the hassle of moving. But let's be realistic about what this means.

If we took the media family income of £32k, divided by the 1/3 most families spend on housing - she'd have £205pw. Which would get her a house in Didcot if she'd cut herself to 3 bedrooms.

I'm coasting into my late-20s, so the people I grew up with are uprooting their lives and moving hours out of town to breed. It's not an easy choice for them, but they get on with it. We can't all live in Chiswick :-(

(Now, the evil bit might turn out to be CPI indexation, which looks odd as RPI is more representative of living costs. Possibly someone at the Treasury's expecting big changes in relative prices this parliament...)

My Friends and I went to KOKO in Camden to see G-Eazy live (which was amazing by the way) and stayed in a hotel overnight so we could do some shopping the next day in Camden market and the high street shops. Luckily we had lovely summer weather so I dressed in my brightest colours and put on my 50's shades and shimmied through the crowds of interesting people. I didn't buy much when we were shopping but what I did get are statement pieces for sure including some gorgeous handmade earrings from Camden's craft market.These are just a few snapshots of the gorgeous day we had but it's nothing compared to being there.

Discriminated Against For Being Muslim In My Political Science Class
I was in my senior year of my Under-Grad when I first faced open discrimination for being Muslim. I was running for president for an in-class assimilation and I lost, to the person who had no experience and happened to not be Muslim.
The process was identical to how our last election process went. We had 3 debates like the normal election; the 1st debate was a standard debate, the second, town hall style, and the third was just like the first.
At this time, I was not wearing scarf to show I was visibly Muslim but people knew of my faith. I was not ashamed of my faith or hiding my faith. I did not feel I had a reason to be ashamed. That is because, before this incident, to my knowledge, I thought my college was full of open minded people.
People in my class told the other students that they would not vote for me as president of the class because I was Muslim.They stated;
They would never vote for a Muslim in a real election, so why would they vote for me in this class?
I was more qualified and had more experience than the other person running against me. I have interned for a state assemblyman and been a president of several college and non-college organizations.
This class made me lose hope that a Muslim will ever be able to be the president of the United States.
However, out of me and the other person I was running against, I was far more qualified. In this class, I had one of the highest grades ( An A) and my professor had even written me a very nice letter of recommendation, after the semester.
Does my competitor having no experience sound familiar to this last election? After the last election, we have seen you do not need any political expertise or experience to be the President of the United States. I am probably more qualified to be president, than our current president-elect.
I lost hope, until I heard Keith Ellison, an elected Muslim congressman was running for the DNC chair. I never thought it would be possible for a Muslim to be the president of the United States of America. Now I do.
I never told my professor of the discrimination that happened towards me, I probably should have. Now I am at that point in my life, I would have spoke up. I am not apologetically Muslim.

Stormzy explains why he won't be the next James Bond
The singer also spoke about Adele's 'spectacular' Vegas show and meeting Taylor Swift at the MTV awards.
Stormzy said he wouldn't make a good replacement for Daniel Craig as the next James Bond because he is a "rubbish actor".
The British grime star, 29, appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show alongside actress Kate Hudson who spoke about working with 007 actor Craig in their upcoming Knives Out sequel.
Hudson, who is the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, said: "He's so funny. His physical comedy. I was really surprised how comedic he is in his body. He's quite goofy. I didn't know Daniel at all and I only know him through his Bond films. He's so great."
After TV presenter Ross teased that Stormzy will portray the next 007, the rapper said: "No, no, no, I'd be so s***. 'Yo, I'm Bond'. It's not the one. I wish I could."
Later, he spoke of filming romantic scenes for his Hide And Seek music video. He said: "Me and the team said it needs to be a high standard actor. I'm a rubbish actor.
"The idea of me going on set with someone that's awkward and I'm awkward. We got Saffron (Hocking) in and she's a true professional. She made me really comfortable and led the whole thing."
Stormzy then asked Hudson: "When I see sex scenes I'm like, 'How do you lot do that?' Of course it's your job but as your average punter, it looks extremely difficult. Can there be arousal, everyone's thought it!"
Hudson replied: "Interesting question. I think it's so mechanical and there's so many people around. Usually they close the set and you kind of have to talk it out and the boys wear belts.
"It's very tucked. It kind of takes the fun out of it, I guess. Sometimes it's more enjoyable than other times. It just depends on the circumstance and the safety that you feel with that actor and how safe the space feels. It can get awkward."
The singer also spoke of his recent trip to see pop megastar Adele perform at her postponed Las Vegas residency, which opened last week at The Colosseum venue at the Caesars Palace hotel.
Stormzy said: "That was amazing. Honestly, probably the best show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of shows. In terms of the intimacy of it. It was very like, you're in there but it's like a small theatre but it's f***ing Adele.
"It's got all the glitz and glamour like a massive arena show, but it's in a small place and it's kind of like, wonderful. Beautiful and spectacular and glamorous. I was like, chefs kiss.
"I've always been a big fan. She came to my London show and I was very, very starstruck. Extremely starstruck. I remember I was like, 'Can I hug you? Oh, can I hug you again?' I probably asked about three or four times. She's lovely."
When asked if he'd like to duet with Adele, he laughed: "Come on man, know what I mean. I wish, I wish…there's leagues and levels Jonathan. Are you f***ing joking?"
Stormzy also spoke of his recent encounter with Taylor Swift at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs), after she reigned supreme winning four of the top gongs.
After the ceremony, she celebrated her successful night with the grime star who shared a selfie on Twitter showing them posing together as Swift clutched a glass of wine, captioning the post with a love heart and an emoji face welling up with emotion.
He said: "I met Taylor, she's lovely. She's amazing. She was just so lovely. We all left and looked at everyone like, 'How f***ing nice is she?' We spoke for like an hour, she was lovely, had advice, you know when you're just kind of like, 'Ah, you're just amazing.' I'm a fan though."
The British rapper also spoke about the video for his recent single Mel Made Me Do It, which features a host of famous faces including musicians Little Simz and Dave, sporting stars Usain Bolt and Ian Wright, author Malorie Blackman and football manager Jose Mourinho.
He revealed the star that "got away" was seven-time world F1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
"Really wanted Lewis Hamilton, legend. He was right in the middle of the season so that weren't going to work," he added.
The Jonathan Ross Show airs at 10.20pm on ITV1 and ITV Hub.

The following classes are a C++ implementation of an ngplant to Ogre converter.
This is a somewhat bare-bones implementation, missing such obvious enhancements as customizable generated mesh and material names. It does include the necessary code to make ngp files first class Ogre resources.
This release is labeled version 1.1.
What works:
- Material generation
- Mesh generation
- Usage of serialized mesh files
What's not implemented:
- Support for ngplant's built-in LOD scheme
- Support for ngplant's AUX0 and AUX1 textures
What's not tested:
- Material generation with support for normal textures
No value assigned
Here's a sample of 7 different species of tree, with multiple varieties:
Here's a close-up of one of the species:
Downloadable 7-Zip archive of all eight source files:
Alternatively, the latest source can be downloaded from the
OgrePlant github repository
- Compile ngpcoreOnly the ngpcore library from ngplant is necessary to use this code. You may use its included SConstruct configuration to build it or simply manually include its source files in your project, either directly or as a library.
- Add the eight source files to your project
- Add the ngpcore include path to your project
- Add the ngpcore link library and path to your project
- Add the following somewhere in your project:
The following fragments won't work as-is. You'll need to put them in appropriate places to integrate them with your code.
First the necessary includes:
#include "OgrePlant.h" #include "NGPFileManager.h"
Then initialization:
// Do this somewhere early in your initialization process. It registers the ngpfile type. // This pointer may be discarded since the NGPFileManager is an Ogre Singleton. NGPFileManager *ngpFileManager = new NGPFileManager(); // Add a resource path that contains ngp files Ogre::ResourceGroupmanager::getSingleton().addResourceLocation("media/plants", "Filesystem"); PlantManager pm;
Then to create a plant:
Entity *entity; if(pm.loadPlant("samplefern.ngp")) { OGRE_LOG("Successfully loaded samplefern.ngp") entity = mSceneManager->createEntity("Sample Fern", "samplefern.ngp.mesh"); } else OGRE_LOG("Failed to load samplefern.ngp")
To get different variations of the same plant, pass in a seed:
loadPlant() to avoid a collision in Ogre's resource system.
FIXED - name now "input.ngp_seed.mesh"
loadPlant(). Serious users will probably want to modify that behavior. FIXED - use loadPlantAsMesh() instead, as below.
Entity *entity; if(pm.loadPlant("samplefern.ngp", 1234)) { OGRE_LOG("Successfully loaded samplefern.ngp") entity = mSceneManager->createEntity("Sample Fern 1234", "samplefern.ngp.mesh"); } else OGRE_LOG("Failed to load samplefern.ngp")
To load the same plant with seed, but without serializing the mesh and materials to disk:
Entity *entity; Ogre::MeshPtr mesh_ptr = pm.loadPlantAsMesh("samplefern.ngp", 1234); if(!mesh_ptr.isNull()) { OGRE_LOG("Successfully loaded samplefern.ngp") entity = mSceneManager->createEntity("Sample Fern 1234", mesh_ptr); // if you wish to later serialize the .mesh and .materials, call: // pm.serializePlant(mesh_ptr); } else OGRE_LOG("Failed to load samplefern.ngp")
Assuming samplefern.ngp is in the media/plants directory (in this example) and its texture is in the same or another of your resource paths, once this code executes you'll have an Ogre entity suitable for attaching to a SceneNode. It can also be used in Paged Geometry running in DirectX. It will not work correctly in Paged Geometry under OpenGL due to a bug in Paged Geometry. However, if you put the resulting .mesh and .material files into one of your resource paths and create an entity by loading them, it will work just fine in Paged Geometry in either DX or GL.
[+] Source
This code is known to work in Ogre 1.7 and Ogre 1.8 and Ogre 1.9.

Holiday Greetings from Steve and Sandy Aholt,
What does Christmas mean to us?
Christ is the meaning of everything that we think, say, and do! Without Him – we can do nothing, but all things are possible with God (Mark 14:36). It is possible to receive comfort in the death of our dearly loved sister in Christ, Priscila Taku – the wife of the pastor at Bundi, Matthew. Priscila is no longer suffering from her 10+ year bout with headaches. She is absent from the body and present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! Matthew contacted us to help with the need of $650 to transport the body back to their village. Please help by praying or giving to meet this need?
Honor Him by obeying – even when it looks like things are falling apart – they're falling into place? In the midst of the busyness of every, we are to be obedient in our witness for Christ. Let's call him Connor. A young guy that Steve has been witnessing to about his need of salvation (who has never gone to church or read the Bible) has started reading the Gospel of John. Please pray that Connor will repent and believe the Gospel (Mark 1:15).
R stands for resistance in electricity, radius in mathematics, and the three "R's" in basic studies. We need to remember that there will always be resistance in the radius of our outward witness for Christ with the basics of the Gospel that we have learned – Love; Sin; Death; Sacrifice; Forgiveness; Eternal Life (Romans 5:8-10). Sharing is caring!
In life, God is always opening and closing doors of opportunity for us. Choose to be lead of the Spirit, to live in the Spirit, and to walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:18 and 25). We have been led by the Spirit through the door of ministry into our present work of translation and editing of the Bible and The Roots of Faith (Old and New Testament). This provides a way for the Pidgin speaking people of Papua New Guinea to teach the lost and then to teach new believers (Matthew 28:19-20).
Supporting us with your prayers and your finances is making you a part of our fruitful ministry for Christ. Please pray for Northside Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. They are without a pastor and their missions giving has been suspended. Thank you for doing your part to bring glory to God.
The red and white Candy Cane, so familiar around Christmastime, is something that reminds us of Christ. The "J" shape reminds us of Jesus. The inverted "J" reminds us of the shepherd's staff. The red and white remind us that our sins that were as scarlet are now white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
This brings us back to JESUS the CHRIST of Christmas whose name is preached among all nations for the remission of sins.
Listening for the trump and praying,
Steve and Sandy Aholt

A big thank you to Joan who emailed me this….it's always great to hear how folk are getting along with their flowery adventures. Thank you for taking the time to write Joan. :)
Over the years I've gardened in spaces that have been cultivated by nuns in the time of Henry the Eighth to sunless back yards with room for a few pots. My last move presented new challenges as I'm sharing with my neighbour who is also a much beloved sister in law.
So this year the plan was for me to take a strip along the edge of one of the beds in the walled vegetable garden and create a space for flowers.
The garden faces west towards the northern fells of the lake district in Cumbria. Think Blencathra and lots of rain.
Of course we had a late spring but that's pretty much the norm here. We read advice in the gardening pages of the national press and add a month and sometimes more to our plans. We're less likely to get early frosts in the autumn and you can be reasonably sure that the flowering season will keep on until late September or longer if we're lucky.
My experience growing plants from seed is minimal and I wanted to keep costs down.
To create some interest in my 20 foot by three foot border I decided to erect three cane tepees. Not only would they support my plants they would create a border that could be seen from the flower garden and add a bit of interest as my colourful flowers burst into bloom. Just like in the pictures!
The sunflower and sweet pea seeds came free from a gardening magazine.
Unwins Sea of Pink mixed annuals and a packet of cottage garden perennials would fill the gaps between the tepees.
The sunflowers were a success, willingly thrusting themselves through the seed compost, bathing in the warmth of the west facing window.
The sweet peas performed equally well.
Ignoring the leggy length of the sunflower plants I happily moved them somewhere cooler, sure, that with a little support from my canes they would do well once they were in the ground! Wrong!
The sweet peas meanwhile were growing rampant, strong enough to stand a period of readjustment under the garden seat before transplanting.
We have rabbits like other people have junk mail but I was sure that the plants were well hidden. I'd forgotten the slugs who razored the plants to the ground in a night.
Much to my chagrin I had to resort to shop bought plants.
The sunflowers in the mean time had become much too leggy and were shown up by their two cousins from Dorset who found a home with me after outgrowing the space in their pots on a friends narrow window ledge.
The seeds meanwhile were sown directly into the soil. One packet were amazing. The clump of pink; poppies, cornflower, lavatera were a delight to the eye. The other packet sown at exactly the same time and under the same conditions failed to produce one plant.
The sweet peas are still flowering producing blooms for the house and friends a couple of times a week. The Dorset sunflowers were magnificent providing the bees with a great deal to do. The central tepee unfortunately was damaged as misfortune placed it between a rabbit and a gun!
Next years gardening plans are on the drawing board as the sister in law and I hope to create the bare bones of a massive herbaceous bed. I'm planning to reuse the tepees to fill in gaps and improve on my floral seed growing skills. Practice makes perfect after all.
Joan Armstrong

How to generate heat energy for work of wood chip dryer? There are many types like electric heating pipe, natural gas, diesel and coal. through certain devices, these materials can generate heat environmental-friendly and energy-conservingly. Along with the scarce of resources, every walk of life has more and more requirements toward the application of energy resources.
To realize the comprehensive application of energy resources, different groups, agencies in the world have taken many effective measures and policies. Wood chip dryer is a kind of device which can dry materials with high water content. The application of energy resource plays an important role for the drying work of wood chip dryer.
If the heat circulation is poor in wood chip dryer, the whole process will be seriously influenced. Heating devices, being equipped for wood shavings dryer, generally include the electric heater, gas burner, oil burner and coal furnace. The electric heater is widely used for small-sized wood chip dryer. It is very clean and heats materials very quickly.
In general, draught fun used for wood chip dryer is very large in size. What's more, draught fun can run continuously. We can save almost 30% electric energy if using the wood chip dryer equipped with frequency converter. If frequency converter is not used, the systemic wind volume will be adjusted by the wind valve.
If frequency converter is used, the required wind volume can be adjusted automatically. In general, the wind volume is around 35Hz. Working current of draught fun is 70% of rated working current. Price is waiting for you on website!

As some of the devices we use as photographers start to get smaller and less obtrusive, so do their storage formats. While their physical size is getting smaller, however, the data they're collecting and recording becomes more demanding.
Going from basic stills to 720p, then to 1080p, and now with 4K starting to become standard in many new devices being released, they're becoming more demanding than ever.
The days of smaller storage formats like microSD being relegated to simply storing contacts in your mobile device are long gone.
GoPro have been using microSD cards for a long time for video storage, as do the army of action cam clones and many other devices, but lately we've also had a lot of 360 degree camera announcements like the Nikon Keymission and Samsung Gear 360, which will start to demand even faster cards for a more efficient workflow.
Action cameras are now the fastest-growing segment in digital imaging and drones are becoming increasingly popular, creating an opportunity for people to capture more high-capacity, high-quality 4K Ultra HD content,
We designed this card specifically to address consumers' needs for a faster solution when transferring massive files – and now, with nearly 3x the speed of our fastest microSD UHS-I card, this new offering dramatically reduces time spent transferring content
– Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing, SanDisk
Featuring Class 10 and UHS Speed Class 3 (U3), the SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDCX UHS-II card is aimed at those shooting a lot of footage and needing a faster workflow to deal with the file sizes.
Of course, the claimed "up to 275MB/s" speed is only for reading and will obviously be dependent upon the speed of your card reader, but when you're dealing with massive footage files, the sooner you can get it off the card and onto your computer the better.
This card, however, is still no slouch when it comes to write speeds at up to 100MB/s, which is still more than plenty for most 4K cameras. The GoPro Hero4 Black, for example, uses around 60MB/s when recording 4K footage.
As the demand for higher quality content such as Full HD and 4K video increases, the need for higher capacity, faster storage solutions grows exponentially. The Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-II card is at the forefront of delivering solutions that meet these evolving needs.
Les Santiago, Research Director for mobile and tablets, IDC
The new Extreme Pro UHS-II microSDXC cards are expected to be available worldwide in Q2 of 2016, with 64GB and 128GB versions priced at $179.99 and $299.99, respectively.

As I write this blog in the depths of winter I am transported back to the most magical day in June and the wedding of Georgie and Andy. The sun shone on this delightful couple who had I had been recommended to by another much loved client.
The day started at home for Georgie as she got ready with #TeamBride in the relative coolness of a summers morning in the glorious countryside near Dumbleton. Georie's wedding dress was from Pronovias; supremely elegant and perfect for the day. Meanwhile Andy was at The Fish Hotel on the Farncombe Estate with his groomsmen and NKP photographer Charlotte, where everyone was to return to after the wedding ceremony for their wedding reception. They both then made their way to St Peter's Church in Dumbleton where they were to make their marriage vows to each other.
Rev Julia Hook conducted the wedding ceremony at St Peter's; emotional, full of love, and full of support from family and dear friends. Following the ceremony we all drove across to the Farncombe Estate where Georgie, Andy, and I stopped en route to take some fabulous photographs to bring in the stunning landscape that this part of the country is famous for. When we arrived at The Fish group photographs followed before Charlotte and I had the opportunity to take some fabulous images of the details of their wedding breakfast set up and spectacular wedding cake. All following the muted tones of pinks and greys with brighter pinks throughout.
Friends of Andy and Georgie had brought a drone with them so we had great fun with that before dinner commenced.
Speeches followed before their wedding breakfast and goodness did Andy get a ribbing from his brothers! Thank goodness for tripods and steady hands as we were roaring with laughter!
After dinner we had the opportunity to take some more photographs of Georgie and Andy down by the lake. Whilst they were in dinner Charlotte and I were setting up the lighting to ensure the perfect award winning shots.
Before we knew it the evening was in full swing as they had their first dance as Mr and Mrs.
I'm absolutely thrilled that all three of the images submitted from this wedding have won industry awards!
Here is their wedding story… Enjoy!

Nokia has achieved this record-breaking speed using 100G PON technology and will be showing the prototype in the proof-of-concept area at the event.
The prototype delivers 100Gb/s speeds in downstream on a single PON wavelength, avoiding the need to combine multiple wavelengths carrying lower speeds. The prototype parameters mimic real-world conditions including fiber distances and power split.
Whilst speeds up to 25Gb/second are possible on existing optical technologies, higher speeds require new approaches. In the Fiber Connect prototype, Nokia Bell Labs is using advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques that will be needed for all technologies beyond 25G PON, including 50G and 100G PON. In an industry first for PON networks, the demonstration also showcases flexible data rates which allows for a more efficient use of the available capacity.
Stefaan Vanhastel, CTO Nokia Fixed Networks, said: "Fiber is the ultimate broadband infrastructure. It has almost unlimited capacity with only changes to the electronics at either end needed to increase speed. Today, fiber can already deliver 10G and 25G speeds. 50G will be available in the second half of this decade. With this proof-of-concept demo, we show that 100G is already within reach; all with the fiber network infrastructure that is being built today."
Nokia was the first telco equipment vendor to enable 25G PON on the same OLT equipment that is being deployed today for GPON and XGS-PON. In addition, according to Dell'Oro, Nokia was the 2021 market share leader for XGS-PON equipment. Seven out of 10 fiber homes in the USA are served using Nokia FTTH kit.

Mega Moolah is by far the most famous of all progressive jackpot slots out there, and for a good reason. This game has been making millionaires left and right every few of months so it isn't hard to understand why players are so keen to try their luck with this Microgaming's game. A couple of weeks ago, Mega Moolah put a smile on yet another face when a lucky player playing at Unibet Casino hit a jackpot to the tune of €7,742,015.
Second Biggest Jackpot of the Year
The amount won is the second largest jackpot paid by the Microgaming network in 2017. The biggest one this year came in April, when €8 million Mega Moolah jackpot was won by a player playing on his mobile device. This is also the fifth biggest win to be paid out by the company.
Naturally, congratulations came in from both, Unibet Casino and Microgaming, as big wins like this are a great indicator that, with some luck, players can really win a life-changing amount and enjoy their win to the fullest as long as they play with safe and reliable casinos. As always, the lump sum will be paid all at once by Microgaming.
Mega Moolah Continues to Go Strong
The very first jackpot on Mega Moolah slot was awarded back in April of 2008, in the amount of $5.5 million. Since then the game continued to make another millionaire every few months, and more casinos continued to join the progressive network, making the jackpot grow even faster.
This year, Mega Moolah kicked things off already in January, when a lucky winner took home more than €6 million. Over the years, the Microgaming network has paid out €783 million in various jackpots, giving players all the necessary reassurances that all the winners who play by the rules will always be paid without any issues.
The jackpot reset after the win that took place on September 25 and it has already reached a seven-figure amount as it awaits the next lucky winner.

The Conference took place on 27 September 2008. The following are some quotes from conference attendees:
"All talks were very encouraging about the future for the women of Ireland with breast cancer"
"Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Very impressed with all the speakers"
"Subject matter very confidence-inspiring to a newly-diagnosed woman like me in the face of recent deluge of bad publicity"
"Very heavy duty topics in first session, very scary for survivors, lots of doom and gloom – frightening"
Rebecca O'Malley, Trudy Doyle and Mary O'Brien
"Tina McGrath and Judy Caldwell were extraordinary people. Marvellous and inspirational!"
"Emotive subject, but very genial and good humoured atmosphere"
"It was very informative and I was delighted that I came to it"
"Tom Keane and Mary Murray educated the room while Judy and Tina empowered the room"
The above quotes are taken from the evaluation forms completed by delegates. The attendees rated Professor Niall O'Higgins, Tina McGrath and Judy Caldwell as the top speakers. That said, many people remarked that all the speakers were excellent and that they would not like to pick out any one. An analysis of the evaluation forms shows that overall there was great satisfaction with the conference.
Frances Fitzgerald, Joan Walsh and Betty WatsonThe day was, on the whole, a very positive day, with participants fully engaged in the discussion. Topics requested for future conferences included psycho-oncology and lymphoedema.
Summary of the Programme
Christine Murphy-Whyte, opened the conference by summing up the events since the last EDI conference in May 2006, especially the shocking revelations of breast cancer diagnosis and 'the utmost importance and urgency of having Specialist Breast Centres in place for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of breast cancer'. She continued: 'This is the theme of our conference, this is your conference, women with experience of breast cancer either personally or through relatives, and friends. Your voices, your needs… And we thank you for coming.' As well as the SBCs she highlighted the need for supportive care in the community and contribution of advocacy to making breast cancer a trail blazer among cancer in general. Read full address
Judy Caldwell with Conference participantsThe well attended conference was opened by Mary Harney, who spoke of the need to implement the move to specialist breast centres. Her strong commitment to the centres and to best quality care led into the first session: Progress and Plans for Specialist Breast Centres, which was addressed by two key players in the field, Professor Tom Keane (Interim Director, National Cancer Control Programme) and Dr Tracey Cooper (Chief Executive Health Information and Quality Authority).
Professor Keane updated the delegates on progress in establishing the centres, pointing out that Irish survival statistics are poor by European standards. The plan is ahead of time and all breast cancer diagnosis and surgery will have moved to the designated centres by March 09, with 8 million euro in additional staffing, 2 million for equipment and minor renovations, transfer of existing staff and equipment where possible.
Frances Fitzgerald and Michael MurphyDr Tracey Cooper's contribution – Maintaining Momentum Assuring Improvements – covered the work of HIQA in supporting quality improvements in symptomatic breast disease services and investigating services and HIQA's plans for future development to ensure quality.
Professor Niall O'Higgins pointed out that, at the 2006 EDI conference, the mantra had been 'We must do better – soon' and he detailed the improvements that have been made and the direction that must be taken. He also told the conference about developments such as Intraoperative Radiotherapy and the Biologically-based targeted therapies which will make the cancer journey significantly easier on patients than it is at present.
Mary Murray, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, spoke about the emergence of a new type of nurse led follow up clinic, such as the clinic run by her in St Vincent's Hospital, and the holistic approach taken to women in such clinics.
Naomi Fitzgibbon and Sarah TierneyAnother keynote speaker was Judy Caldwell, Founder of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation British Columbia/Yukon region. Judy described her journey from diagnosis with breast cancer to patient advocacy, ranging from her initial presentation to the Canadian All-Party women's Caucus to the foundation of the CBCF to her dragon boat initiative to the use of innovative advertising to improving women's attendance at screening to a recent round-table event to which leading experts, clinicians, advocates and patients were invited. She stressed that, although cancer patients in BC have to travel very long distances they do so for the best treatment.
Tina McGrath, occupational therapist and breast cancer survivor, gave a fascinating talk on her study of breast cancer survivors – Living to Tell the Tale – which uses storytelling to explore occupational biographies. Informed by her personal experience and seeing a cancer diagnosis as occupational disruption, this paper struck a chord with many women at the conference.
Brid Collins and Professor Niall O'HigginsEDI chairwoman, Christine Murphy Whyte, (also ED Board member and Treasurer) presented the work of EUROPA DONNA – The European Breast Cancer Coalition and of Europa Donna Ireland as Joining Voices, Meeting Needs in Ireland and Europe (Powerpoint 157KB). Covering the advocacy work carried out at both European and national level, Christine highlighted the establishment of Breast Health Day on 15 October and the need to deliver messages on a healthy lifestyle as well as those on best diagnostic and treatment practices.

The New Year's Day Mix
Ah, the New Year, and its accompanying portents of doom. I was amused enough by my recently unearthed Christmas playlist to attempt one for the occasion of the New Year. Here goes:
1. "A Long December" - Counting Crows
2. "New Year" - The Breeders
3. "New Year's Day" - Caesars
4. "Last Year's Man" - Leonard Cohen
5. "Year of the Tiger" - Sufjan Stevens
6. "1999" - Prince
7. "In the New Year" - The Walkmen
8. "This Will Be My Year" - Semisonic
9. "Next Year" - Foo Fighters
10. "The New Year" - Death Cab for Cutie
11. "New Year's Prayer" - Jeff Buckley
12. "Blankest Year" - Nada Surf
13. "New Year's Resolution" - Roy Milton and His Solid Senders
14. "Doomsday" - Elvis Perkins in Dearland
15. "The Holiday Song" - Pixies
16. "December 1999" - Jolie Holland
17. "New Year's Eve" - The Walkmen
18. "Forgotten Years - Midnight Oil
19. "New Year's Day (USA Remix)" - U2
20. "It Was A Very Good Year" - The Flaming Lips
The two songs referencing 1999 recognize the tenth anniversary of the last New Year's Eve of the 1990s. Ah, Y2K, how far we've come since you loomed over us. To preserve my indie street cred, I had to use The Flaming Lips version of "It Was A Very Good Year," rather than the more recognizable, far superior version by Frank Sinatra. "Year of the Tiger" by Sufjan Stevens is appropriate, because 2010 brings with it that year under the Chinese calendar. Including the original version of U2's "New Year's Day" seemed a bit too obvious, so I used the remix from the 1983 "Two Hearts Beat As One" single. Finally, it's interesting to note that both the Christmas mix and the New Year's mix both include not one but two songs by The Walkmen, who evidently like to recognize the holidays on their albums. Finally, for a New Year's Day mix, I was tempted to include the Black Eyed Peas, but I just could not do it. O tempora, o mores.
Please take note of my prior New Year's Day entry, posted two years ago today, on January 1, 2008. That post was sufficiently ominous in tone, and of course, 2008 vindicated those early predictions of doom. Speaking of ominous things, I discovered the wonderfully eerie photograph at the top of this page on this January 2007 blog post by Some Audio Guy, author of, oddly enough, the blog called The Ramblings of Some Audio Guy. There is no indication of whether Some Audio Guy actually took the photograph in question, or if he, like me, scoured the Internets to find a sufficiently macabre image to complement the tone of the post in question.

Last night's loss to Xavier embodied everything bad about Vanderbilt basketball - even though the team's put together some of the best basketball of their 2011-2012 season. The Commodores not only squandered a double-digit lead in the second half, but they did it in the most Vandy-esque way possible. They turned the ball over, gave up rebounds, allowed an opposing guard to get hot against them, and wrapped it all up behind an utterly stagnant offense.
That's right, I've got a lot of problems with this team. And now, you're gonna hear all about it.
Judging by the postgame thread (68 comments and counting, an AoG record), you've got lots of problems with these guys too. Vanderbilt has been disappointing even when you adjust for Festus Ezeli's absence. The team has looked soft, and even when they bring their fire - as they did in the first half against the Musketeers - they lack the extra gear they need to put even decent teams away.
Xavier's overtime win pinpointed a lot of the problems with this team. Unfortunately, many of them start with the coach. Kevin Stallings, the architect behind Vandy's recent basketball renaissance, is taking a lot of heat for last night's loss. Much of it is deserved. Stallings's stubborn tendencies came out in last night's loss. His questionable substitutions and conservative timeout calling played a key role in Vanderbilt's second-half collapse. While he should be praised for motivating the team to play the best defense of their young season, the magnitude of Monday's loss has focused a magnifying glass right over Stallings's position at the head of the Commodore bench.
So what exactly are my grievances after last night? Let's take a look.
Those bench rotations.
Vanderbilt led the #12 team in the country by nine points in the second half, had a huge head of steam rolling in their direction, and were playing behind in one of the fiercest home-court advantages in the country. Rather than stomp out the Musketeers, Stallings let off the gas, swapping out his starters for a lineup that featured Kyle Fuller, Dai-Jon Parker, Rod Odom, and Josh Henderson alongside John Jenkins.
Just over two minutes later, Xavier led by one point.
Every Vanderbilt fan in the country knew what was happening. Fuller and Parker are decent athletes who can hold their own alongside another steadying force in the backcourt, but can't efficiently coexist at the 1 and 2 yet. Rod Odom is in the midst of a strange regression from his freshman season that might be related to having to adjust to more minutes at power forward. Josh Henderson is a developing post prospect who can look very much like a redshirt freshman on the court.
Alongside Vanderbilt's eighth-through-11th best players was Jenkins, the player that opponents constantly gameplan to double-team and deny touches in crunch time. Simply put, this lineup was custom made to spur a Xavier run. Vandy's deep bench is filled with still-improving players that can be a huge asset to this team. They are players who can thrive off the open looks and help defense that players like Jeffery Taylor and Steve Tchiengang provide. What they can't do is extend a lead on their own.
The Fuller/Parker/Odom/Hendo experiment crashed and burned spectacularly last night. John Jenkins was unable to be the steadying force that the team's youngsters needed while fighting through tough coverage, and the Fuller/Parker backcourt couldn't stand up to Xavier's on-the-ball pressure. The result was a helpless two-minute stretch that evaporated Vanderbilt's lead while the crowd impotently pled for a timeout that never came. In one fell swoop, a bad rotation turned a potential blowout into a tight game and crumbled the confidence of this team's bench.
Where was Kedren?
Kedren Johnson's first half was impressive. He ran the court well, got into the lane with efficiency, and showed great court vision and the ability to create baskets through his passing. He played sufficient defense and helped limit Tu Holloway to three points in the first half. The freshman had three assists in just nine minutes of play for the night.
And that's the problem.
Johnson was a breath of fresh air on a night where Vandy's other point guards, Brad Tinsley and Kyle Fuller, struggled. So why didn't he see action in the second half when Vanderbilt's offense went stagnant? The freshman was a ghost when this team needed someone to facilitate the offense, not appearing until the very end of overtime when the outcome of the game had essentially been sealed.
Some fans are calling for Johnson to take over the starting role from Tinsley, but those calls are premature. Tinsley is still a steadying presence who doesn't turn the ball over and provides leadership from the point. Additionally, he's got a history of falling into slumps when challenged for playing time of being moved to the bench (see 2009-2010). He needs to be the starter, especially for a team in the midst of a struggle. However, Johnson is by far this team's best newcomer, and he's earned a more prominent role in this team's rotation by virtue of that.
The Tinsley Offense.
Vanderbilt's set-up in the final minute of close games has become a familiar refrain.
Last night was no different. Tinsley dribbled to his right towards Jeffery Taylor, who had space between his defender and the ability to cut into the lane for an open shot. Tinsley ignored him and went up for a jumper anyway, getting stripped on the way up. Only Lance Goulbourne's quick thinking prevented a potential distaster that could have rivaled last year's Missouri loss.
The problem drew heavily from last year's woes - Vanderbilt can't execute efficiently in the final minute of the game. Against Xavier, this spread to the final four minutes of regulation. The Commodore offense was reduced to bad John Jenkins shots and fruitless attempts to draw fouls. When the team can't get either to work, they end up on the ass-end of a long scoring drought. An underperforming Musketeer team was able to take advantage of this, and that's what led to Vandy's demise.
Vanderbilt consistently shows that they can move around without the ball to create easy baskets. They did it throughout the first 30 minutes of Monday's game. However, something for this team just doesn't click in that final minute of play, and every key shot turns into a contested jumper from outside the paint. It's a recipe for disaster for the Commodores, and it will haunt them in the postseason unless they can fix it.
So there's my list of grievances as we enter this year's Festivus season. Even when this team plays with heart and fire, they still can't get out of their own way in crunch time. Make no mistake, Vanderbilt absolutely should have won last night's game against Xavier, and while the Musketeers are a great team, it was the Commodores' mental issues that ultimately unraveled them.
What are your problems with this team's loss to Xavier? Post them in the comments below.

California Memorial Stadium timeline
Chancellor Birgeneau announces master
plan to refurbish Memorial Stadium, beginning
with construction of $125 million Student-Athlete
High Performance Center (SAHPC) that will be fully funded by private donors.
Campus publishes initial study checklist and
Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Environmental
Impact Report (EIR); 30-day public-comment
period begins
In a 129-page decision, Judge
Miller rules overwhelmingly in favor of UC
Berkeley, but asks for more information
on design elements unrelated to SAHPC construction
and proposed non-football uses for stadium.
from the decision:
• "the
record contains substantial evidence that the
area in which the Memorial Oak Grove exists
does not contain sensitive biological resources" • "the
university adopted feasible mitigation measures
to avoid or lessen impact" of tree removal" and
that "mitigation would ensure that the
impact from loss of specimen trees, including
coast live oaks, is less than significant"… "evidence
in the record corroborates…the urban
character of and the lack of sensitive biological
resources in the area of the Memorial Oak Grove"… • "There
is also no evidence in the record that any
alleged burial sites or any other archeological
resources in the Integrated Project area are
unique archaeological resources" • The
university's "EIR analysis of seismic
impacts satisfies the University's CEQA obligation
for investigation and disclosure of seismic
impacts" • The ruling quotes officials
from California's State Historic Preservation
Office as commending the university's design
for the atadium project, calling it a "breath
of fresh air" while asking if they could "share
the design with others as an example of how
to approach a historic stadium" • "Evidence
in the record demonstrates that the CMS is
a valuable historic resource that is rooted
deeply in the life of the university and that
relocating it is, for the university, essentially
unthinkable" • "The record contains
substantial evidence supporting the university's
decision to build the (athletic facility) as
currently proposed."
Protesters manage to run an aerial supply
line from the grove across Piedmont Avenue
to another tree on campus. Faced with severe
safety hazard, UCPD reaches agreement with
protesters that leads to the line's removal.
the terms of the agreement, protesters and
their supporters will: • Vacate
a second tree they had occupied • Lower
human waste they had been stockpiling for possible
future use against police officers and/or arborists • Continue
to lower waste on a daily basis • Cease
all efforts to storm, disrupt, or dismantle barricades
surrounding the grove • Cease all efforts
to force food supplies in to the enclosed area.
its part, the university agrees to: • Allow
one of two people who joined the protest yesterday
to come down without facing arrest or citation
for his actions • Allow supporters to
supply protesters with one bag of food daily • Give
72 hours notice if the university intends to
end this agreement • Give 72 hours notice
if the university intends to forcibly remove
any of the tree-sitters.
Alameda Superior Court Judge Barbara Miller issues her final decision in the lawsuit, confirming the substance of a ruling she made July 22 that supported UC Berkeley's position on every significant point. The ruling accepts changes the university has made to the project in response to the court's June 18 ruling, including removal of a grade beam and an agreement by the university to withdraw a proposal for staging non-football events at the stadium.
Judge Miller also accepted the university's binding promise to refrain from construction activities at the site pending word from the Court of Appeal about when and if the campus may proceed. By accepting this arrangement, Judge Miller agreed that it is not necessary to continue the existing injunction.
Aug. 27, 2008
The last four protesters climb down from their perch atop a redwood tree outside Memorial Stadium, peacefully ending a 21-month tree-sit to protest construction of the student-athlete training center.

It's almost time for the biggest movie awards night of the year: the Academy Awards, AKA the Oscars! You love watching the red carpet arrivals (those dresses!), you love guessing who will win each award, and you love doing it all with friends and family. Why not throw an official Oscars party, then? We've got a lineup of great ideas to help make your party worthy of a standing ovation!
A central component of every good party is GOOD FOOD! Cakes are great at pulling double duty, serving as edible centerpieces to your spread. Make your cake the star of the show with a few simple star toppers cut from glitter paper! And what could be a better treat for a night celebrating the best films of the year than popcorn?
Little popcorn boxes make it much easier for everyone to munch throughout the night without passing around a bowl, and they make your guests feel like they're at a movie theater. Dressing up your boxes so they look like tuxedos is an easy way to give your party a definite Oscars flair, and our Cricut® collections make them so easy to throw together.
Rather than going the plastic cup and permanent marker route to keep track of everyone's drinks, add some sparkle to your sodas and create these personalized name tags! These stars are super simple to make, but they're just the kind of detail that will make your guests feel like VIPs.
Okay, now on to activities. We love these free printable Oscars bingo cards from The House That Lars Built. Come up with a fun prize to give the person who gets bingo first.
Also, since the celebrities get their photos taken all night long, we think another way to have fun with your guests is by having a photo shoot of your own! You may have spotted those adorable prop sticks in a vase, playing the role of a simple décor piece in that first photo, but they are also great way to make everyone less camera shy, AND they can be sent home with your guests as souvenirs from your fun night. You can even create your own Polaroid-style frame. This activity is sure to get everyone laughing, and by the end of the night, you'll have tons of great photos to share!
To add to the drama of the evening, we want to give away some awards of our own! In the comments below, make three guesses, one for each of these categories: Best Picture, Actor in a Leading Role, and Actress in a Leading Role. Make sure to have your guesses in before February 28, because after the Oscars, we'll go through all the comments to see who guessed right and select 30 winners as follows:
The first 15 people to correctly guess the winner of ONE of the categories will receive the beautiful Everyday Life™ album.
The first 10 people to correctly guess the winner of TWO categories will receive the Everyday Life album, the My Crush® Everyday Life pages, and the Everyday Life washi tape.
The first 5 people to correctly guess the winner of all THREE categories will get the Everyday Life prize package, including the album, the My Crush Everyday Life pages, the Everyday Life washi tape, both the 4″ x 3″ and the 4″ x 6″ Memory Protectors™, and the Picture My Life™ Live Your Day cards—which are no longer available for purchase!
Start making your decorations, and submit your guesses here on the blog! It's sure to be a night to remember!
