Vietnamese Norwegian Salmon Salad
Vietnamese salads are all about being fresh and light. Raw vegetables, torn herbs and a delicious dressing deliver hot, sweet and sour all in one dish. The rich salmon flavoured with soy and ginger complements this perfectly.
Number of servings
- Mix together the soy, mirin, ginger and garlic, add the salmon fillets and set aside for 10 minutes whilst you make the salad.
- Put the noodles in a bowl, stir in the radishes, cucumber, chilli and lime zest. Mix together the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and toss into the noodles with the herbs. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Line a grill pan with foil and grill the fish for 5-6 minutes until just flaking. Or cook on a barbecue.
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot, add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve the salad topped with a piece of salmon, scattered with peanuts and crispy shallots.
Cook's Tip
You can use 120g dried vermicelli reconstituted according to the pack instructions in place of the ready prepared.

I'm looking forward to going over to Northern Harvest for the first time soon to choose a Christmas tree and that made me think about how much they've grown since I first used them some years ago.
Tod and Barbara Bulmer have been growing specialist seasonal fruit and vegetables at Kenyon Hall Farm since 1979. They were selling fresh produce from their seasonal farm shop, and at Farmer's Markets throughout the North West of England.
Northern Harvest was founded in 2002 with Ed Woolley in charge of the day to day running of the business. I first came across him at a food festival some years ago and had a veg box delivery for some time. However, we went through a period of time when we were away every weekend and we stopped having our order.
Because I've used them before they were my first stop when I started my challenge of no supermarkets. Our order comes on a Thursday morning and we look forward to its arrival.
In addition to their home grown and home produced items they gather a wide variety of fresh foods and also speciality products not found on the high street and offer a delivery service direct to your home doorstep or even your workplace.
Northern Harvest delivers produce from over 80 other local producers. Almost every type of food you can buy from a supermarket can be now be ordered and it is almost all produced in the North West and clearly tells you if something is imported – like lemons obviously!
Breads, Cheeses, Meats, Fish, Fruit, Salad, Vegetables, Fresh Juices, Yoghurts, Milk, Pasta, Cereals, Eggs, Flowers, Herbs, Pickles, Pates, Preserves, Soups… and more.
Unlike some other purely veg box deliveries you don't have to have a set box. Their website gives the opportunity to choose whatever you like.
I was talking to another member of Bread Club this morning and she said she stopped her delivery for just that reason. They don't eat beetroot, sprouts or cabbage and she was wasting produce – not ideal!
I also like the fact I can get Cheshire milk, butter and everything else that is supporting local producers.
It also gives us the opportunity to try different things – like the pheasant we are currently so fond of!
So I would recommend them wholeheartedly – we started with a selection box which was a great introduction – there are a few to choose from!

Remedy co-founder Petri Järvilehto, whose credits include Alan Wake and the Max Payne games, has joined Rovio Mobile to help bring Angry Birds to consoles.
Rovio Mobile is a Finnish game studio best known for creating Angry Birds, the smash hit game for the iPhone and Android mobile devices which has sold more than 12 million copies on Apple's App Store alone. Petri Järvilehto is a Finnish game developer best known for helping introduce the world to "bullet time" as the project lead, designer and programmer on the hyper-violent Max Payne games. Obviously, it's a match made in Heaven.
So it is that Järvilehto has joined Rovio as the senior vice president for console development, with the responsibility of overseeing the development of console versions of Angry Birds. Direct ports of the game are already available for the PC and Mac, and as a PlayStation Mini for the PlayStation 3 and PSP, but the addition of Järvilehto suggests the studio has something bigger in mind for the future.
"We want to make Angry Birds a long lasting global gaming franchise, and we see the console platforms as a way of delivering an even more entertaining, powerful and involving experience," Rovio CEO Mikael Hed said in a statement. "Petri has an outstanding track record and we're thrilled to have him take the lead of our console development."
"I think we're only in the beginning, and with consoles we have the opportunity to create a new kind of gaming experience," added Järvilehto.
Along with his position at Rovio, Järvilehto will remain on the board of directors at Remedy. Rovio's new console edition of Angry Birds is expected to feature birds moving in slow-motion, angst-ridden pigs and hand-drawn, barnyard noir cutscenes, and will probably be out sometime in 2018.

Do you want the facts on veterans committing suicide? Better start with those who did not to change the outcome.
Majority of older local Vietnam veterans have grown stronger from combat, study finds
Marian Hetherly
September 13, 2017
Chacko found this attitude among more than half the 117 veterans from Tonawanda, Salamanca and Rochester, aged 65 and older, who had their boots on the ground in Vietnam. He said the higher the level of PTSD, the more difficult it was to grow stronger from the experience of combat.
Most people have heard of PTSD. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health problem that can develop after witnessing a life-threatening event.Lesser known is PTG. While recording the oral histories of local Vietnam War veterans, a University at Buffalo researcher found that post-traumatic growth can exist at the same time as PTSD. Marian Hetherly explains in Part 1 of WNED|WBFO's three-part series, "Our Vietnam Voices."
According to the U.S. Veterans Administration, some 500,000 of the 3 million U.S. troops that served in Vietnam suffered from PTSD. Their rates of suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction and divorce were markedly higher among veterans.
In the study of local Vietnam War veterans conducted by Thomas Chacko for his master's degree in psychology, he found a PTSD level of 24 (self-report)-30 percent (interview). However, he also found something more positive also was found.
"PTG is a positive change experienced as people struggle with their traumatic experiences," Chacko said to a group of local Vietnam War veterans. "It's like people coming out of a very stressful, traumatic event becoming stronger. You know that old saying, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' has been, I would say, one of the remarkable findings of this research."
Top that off with their wives and families struggling to learn all we could to help them heal. Not willing to suffer in silence or accept any of it without a fight, they achieved the impossible and got the government to do something about what all other generations came home from war with...the war to fight inside of themselves.

Having grown up in the Midwest, I have a real appreciation for the coming of Spring. Saying goodbye to the nasty cold, snowy winters and saying hello to Robin Redbreast and the first crocuses – that sometimes popped up through the melting snow – was always a joyous celebration. I've lived lots of places – from cold Minneapolis to HOT Phoenix – but this spring I am truly grateful for living in Oregon.
It's February 22, and the spring flowers are blooming, buds are on the trees, and we've even mowed the lawn twice already. It's been a pretty crappy winter for you brave souls in the Midwest and East, but this winter has been the BEST in Oregon since we've moved in…and it's been 6 years since we set roots here. We've only had one day of snow. Yes, one day. It started snowing at about 2 in the afternoon. We got about 4 inches, and by morning, it was all gone. (Of course, I probably just jinxed us.)
I got out this weekend and took a few photos of "springness." I hope these give you a little hope that spring is on its way!

So I turned off my alarm, but my body is so used to early wake ups.
Wife & kids won't wake for another 3 or 4 hours.
I really wanted to dress slutty this morning for you, naughty little black skirt & fishnets but sorry, fishnets just don't look good on my skinny shapeless legs so I got changed again.
Now normally I'm not a stocking type of girl, preferring bare legs, but looking at my shaving rash, today I've made an exception, swapped to a skater skirt and just for you, added boots. Yes it's technically mid winter and boots are normal but it's warm enough outside to be summer and McDonalds Cafe have the heaters set for roasting their coffee beans and clients - reminds me of Kuala Lumpur in summer.
Forgot to bring my camera out this morning, so it's my cheap phone camera to show you my outfit. Funny since I was planning to bring out my big Canon camera, but decided it was to big and heavy for my handbag.
Needing my eyebrows waxed or threaded again, but just spent up large on a new bow and another set of arrows and I need to invest in a wood lathe sooner than later (or find a night class that will let me have about 16 hours on their lathe)
So instead of eyebrow waxing, I just checked out 2 hardware shops looking for some 55x55mm lenths of timber unsuccessfully, so may need to get my hands on a planer as well.

This is just another example of the stupidity of how the Federal Government is working against lawful people. A little common sense was all that would be needed here for them to not persue someone who isn't a criminal.
1) One Paul Copeland was a private citizen at an Austin, TX, gun show in Jan 2010
2) He was there selling a handfull of firearms. Which, as a US citizen, he's perfectly within his rights to do without obtaining a FFL or any such nonsense.
3) A group of undercover ATF agents as well as Austin PD were at the gun show and observed a group of four Hispanic males. "The agents observed only one member of the group was speaking English, and that the men were avoiding the licensed gun dealers at the show. These observations led the agents to believe that the men might be illegal aliens."
4) One of the Hispanics ("Aviles") wanted one of Copelands guns. After the usual haggling, Aviles agreed to buy the gun.
5) Copeland asked to see Aviles identification.
6) Aviles refused to show it.
7) Another one of the group ("Huerta") produced a seemingly valid Texas drivers license. Aviles gave the money to Huerta, who then bought the pistol from Copeland.
8 ) Huerta then gave the pistol to Aviles. Copeland saw this and objected that he had sold the pistol to Huerta.
9) The ATF agents saw this, and rightly noted that this is what's known as a "straw purchase…" when someone who is legally notallowed to buy a gun gives the money to someone who is, who then buys it for the other person and gives it to them. This is a federal crime. The criminals here, however, are the straw *purchasers.*
10) The ATF agents stopped Aviles outside of the gun show and determined that he was an illegal alien.
11) The ATF agents then hassled Copeland, claiming he'd sold a firearm to an illegal alien. Copeland countered that he'd sold it to the guy with the apparently valid Texas drivers license.
12) The ATF confiscated all his weapons (the ones for sale as well as the one he was wearing) and let him leave.
13) On March 2, 2010, Copeland was indicted on charges of selling a firearm to an illegal alien, arrested on March 22. At trial, Huerta was brought in as a witness, admitted to being an illegal, admitted to the straw purchace… and was allowed to simply walk out of the courtroom. He has apparently not been arrested for his federal firearms crime *or* for being an illegal alien.
14) Copeland was convicted in federal court on July 20, 2010, and sentenced on August 27 to six months in a "work camp."
Let me sum up: Copeland was arrested for selling a firearm to someone with a seemingly valid ID. He had no way to determine the legal status of Huerta, Aviles or anyone else. The ATF agents made a preliminary determination that the group of Hispanic males were worth watching as potential illegals because of the way they looked and spoke.
It seems to me that anyone who now wants to discriminate against Hispanics – or pretty much anyone, I suppose – now has a legal precedent for it: simply wave these news articles in the face of anyone who complains. According the the US FedGuv, American citizens will face arrest and conviction if they do business with anyone who *might* be an illegal.
The obvious joke here would be for someone to refuse to serve President Obama a hamburger because he *might* be an illegal.
I find this whole story ironic since the federal government deals with them, let's people go who by being here illegally are breaking the law. Allows citites to protect illegal aliens everyday and goes after any law enforcement trying to stop illegal immigration.

In the event that they're having trouble meeting their very own obligations at school, perform, or in their social circle, it usually is time to confront them regarding how they manage their video gaming time.
Sometimes a full may come out and then a bunch of online content follows. If you want to protect your money, then you may want to wait for while. This is because there may be an edition of the full that comes out later on that includes all of these things to get a lower price. Don't get stuck investing in a bunch of extras that you could jump on one disc later on!

A Toronto 'Beach' Community, east-facing terrace,
3rd floor
Click on images below for a larger picture.
Our patio garden becomes our oasis away from the summer crowds of the Beach. It is a fabulous place to read, soak up the sun, and entertain.
Since we are starving students and foodies in the making, we focus solely on food gardening. In our first summer, we concentrated on the traditional tomatoes, peppers, green onions, pole beans and herbs (basil, rosemary, mint). Last summer, the summer of 2009, we expanded our horizons and branched out to add beets, snap peas, eggplant, celery, carrots, lettuce, spinach and edible flower nasturtium. As much as possible, we use heirloom seed varieties. Our herb and vegetable transplants are purchased at a fabulous farm/store/tea room near Aylmer, Ontario called Heritage Line Herbs.
Last summer, I grew, with relative success, two of our four tomato varieties from seed in front of our patio door. I planted the seeds in old clementine boxes lined with plastic bags, which was both cheap and easy.
In terms of planting containers, we use some standard terracotta, but have also experimented with garbage cans, wine buckets, old VHS tape storage holders from Ikea, as well as kids' sand castle pails.
All in all, I consider our gardening adventures to be very successful. Sure, we have limited yield with some plants (we harvested 6 carrots, 2 eggplants, and no celery at all this year), but we have fun, the produce dominates many of our spring, summer and fall meals, and we create a beautiful green space for us to enjoy.
Thank you Alexis and Tim

Ofcom detonates tactical nuclear weapon underneath Openreach
Ofcom has announced how it sees Openreach operating for the next decade and onwards and it will be as a more independent entity from the BT Group. The changes are pretty radical and seem to fall one step short of Openreach becoming its own PLC on the stock market, but who knows that may eventually happen.
- New branding to reflect a new company, i.e. no mention or hints of BT
- Staff to be employed by Openreach, i.e. transferred totally from BT Group. Consultations will resolve issues such as pensions and other benefits
- More consultation with customers (e.g. TalkTalk and Sky) around large investments, and this will include a 'confidentiality' phase where plans can be discussed without any disclose to BT Group.
- Assets under Openreach control to now be owned by Openreach
- Its own board, where the majority (including the Chair) will be non-executive members with no affiliation to BT Group. Appointment will be made by BT, but Ofcom must be consulted on appointments.
- Openreach to be given its own 'articles of association' and its directors given a duty to promote the success of the company and work in the interests of ALL customers.
This is the model that Ofcom has put onto the table and it is significantly more radical than the changes a decade ago that took the UK broadband market to where it is now. Whether the changes will produce a positive result with much more investment in Fibre to the Premises and better customer service is a massive unknown but there is an opportunity for that to happen and the question is once a new Openreach board has formed and the dust settled whether they find themselves struggling or awash in capital and enough staff to roll-out millions of FTTH/FTTP.
For the embattled SME and consumer, today's news is promise of a better future but with no certainty as to when this will happen and this is unfortunate as much of the campaigning has been around service standards with many of the existing problems down to previous decade old Ofcom decision and staffing levels of Openreach which are being stretched to keep up with the existing VDSL2 roll-outs and meet install/fault targets.
For those who are yet to see superfast broadband rolled out to them and are now part of the 95% due to be covered by the end of 2017, we strongly believe that today's changes will mean no difference, since the most likely result of this new Openreach will be a revision of the split between G.fast technology and FTTP in the commercial roll-out that was already planning to target some 12 million premises. There is actually a very high possibility that if large providers such as Sky and TalkTalk are more interested in steering Openreach investment into their emerging IPTV ranges and competing with Virgin Media that we might see Openreach doing little in rural areas for decades unless there is Government incentive.
Ofcom seems confident that this split is not going to cause disruption and massive costs to the consumer or industry, but we believe it will introduce some uncertainty and negotiations over staff transfers (both in individual terms, pension liabilities and the number of staff) are going to be a sticky problem and we can envisage, just as with previous changes, long term BT Group staff may take this as an opportunity to take early retirement.
The previous revised pole and duct access plans announced in February continue with the aim being to give more people more choice of infrastructure into their home, and FTTH has its new rules coming into force on 31st July. It is conceivable that Openreach may morph into a custodian of the existing VDSL2 and copper networks and the ducting they exist in, and the major customers just exploiting the new duct and pole access rules to roll out their own FTTH networks. Thus allowing TalkTalk to roll-out its much talked about 10 million home network without having to dig up every pavement.
The next couple of months are now the time for TalkTalk, Sky and others to step forward and either embrace the duct access abilities or work with the new Openreach to get them to do a more FTTH heavy roll-out. If these two largest competitors to BT Retail do not step up, then these changes are wasted and all they will achieve is allow BT Retail to further exploit its market share in the retail sphere. So just as with the Brexit changes it is time for those that have campaigned for the changes for years to now step up and get on with making sure that after the champagne bottle has emptied that work starts swiftly to produce the world leading changes they promised.
A number responses are expected today from interested parties and the first is from the Government.
"Nine out of ten homes and businesses now have access to superfast broadband, but our goal is to make sure the UK builds the right infrastructure to maintain our position as a world leading digital nation.
We are clear that a more independent Openreach is needed to benefit consumers and the UK's digital infrastructure. We are concerned that BT's proposals do not go far enough and think it is right that full structural separation remains an option. Swift and clear action is needed to give certainty to consumers, industry and investors in the UK's broadband infrastructure, and which delivers rapid improvements in the level of investment and service."A Department for Culture, Media and Sport spokesperson
"Today's proposal to create a legally separate Openreach is a step in the right direction, although falls short of the full change that would have guaranteed the world-class broadband network customers expect and the UK will need. In particular, leaving Openreach's budget in the hands of BT Group raises significant questions as to whether this will really lead to the fibre investment Britain requires."Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive, Sky
"Fundamentally, today's proposals do not address Ofcom's key objectives of reducing the country's dependence on Openreach and encouraging essential investment in fibre. Whilst correctly identifying Openreach as the principal source of the industry's dysfunction, it is hypocritical of Ofcom to focus on a restructured Openreach as a panacea.
Further debate and navel-gazing as to the appropriate structure of BT will continue to create a period of uncertainty at a time when the industry needs clarity, direction and competitive investment. Openreach has a critical role to play, but it is not prudent to entrust them with sole responsibility for our digital future.
CityFibre has proven its commitment to delivering future-proof digital infrastructure across the UK through its significant investment in dark fibre assets. Unconstrained by the ongoing regulatory debate, CityFibre has the financial flexibility and independence to rapidly deliver the fibre infrastructure, innovation and challenger ethos essential to meet the UK's future digital needs."Mark Collins, Director Strategy & Policy at CityFibre
"Anything which brings the UK closer to a full fibre to the premise rollout is a step in the right direction. Industry will be supportive of Ofcom's focus on outcomes, particularly the focus on increasing fibre connections 'to the doorstep'. Separating BT Openreach functionally within BT Group, should allow BT Openreach to invest in the infrastructure required to ensure the UK has digital infrastructure which is fit for the future.
What is needed now is a rigorous focus on how fibre rollout in the UK can be speeded up. The Government has a clear roll to play in setting out a robust Digital Economy Strategy to give confidence to industry that the UK will not be left behind in this crucial area."Chris Richards, Senior Business Environment Policy Adviser at EEF, the manufacturers' organisation
So Jeremy that would be the same fibre investment that your company has already seceded not to make itself?
Precisely none of this makes the slightest difference to the economic case for investment in expensive to reach areas. Absolutely nothing.
In the meantime there will be a huge amount of expense and confusion in shuffling round notional liabilities, like the pension deficit, borrowings and so on.
A bluff may be called.
@TheEulerID: Oh it makes a change. As noted in the article it allows for a greater digital divide. Talk Talk, Sky et al are not interested in low RoI rural customers. They will push openreach to target cities and large towns. Expect any FTTP roll-out to follow the LLU pattern but due to greater cost it'll peter out sooner.
Concur on rural, but Para 3.27 ..Would Openreach on its own have made a different weighted decision on G.Fast v FTTP. I think it would and here you can make the case that there will be less room for BT Group to sacrifice engineering for other projects.
This all looks like window dressing to me.
All PLC's are answerable first and foremost to their shareholders - still BT.
The main thing is that is doesn't do anything to kick start competition in the wholesale broadband market.
Any FTTP investment by OR will surely still (like the majority of the world) be based on GPON which doesn't lend itself to full LLU (there is an Ofcom funded report on unbundling GPON). So, the future will be VULA services, whether VFSL, G.Fast or FTTP.
The competitive pressure to OR in the mass consumer market will always be what VM & (maybe) some metro fibre providers produce.
And now BT plc will detonate the pensions timebomb that will kill this off. Openreach to "own" the pensions for their workers past/present and future?
Good luck with that one. Last published figures in May 2016 show pensions deficit for the group was £10bn up from £7bn, 2 years earlier. And Openreach is the majority employer of UK staff.
It was preditable that this was the way OFCOM would go. They had dropped plenty of hints. It is probaby a sensible first step. If they then wanted Openreach sold off it makes it a lot simplier to do
@TheEulerID. I don't mean in terms of technology. I mean in terms of areas reached. openreach has historically had a stronger interest in pushing upgrades to lower RoI areas. Okay so it might not have pushed as far as some would like but it has upgraded more exchanges and properties than any other CP.
(cont'd) What I'm saying (and the news article is saying) is that by giving the LLUOs more control that might change. openreach may prefer to roll out The Next Big Thing(TM) to cities rather than finishing off The Last Big Thing(TM) in rural areas.
Quote "In the meantime there will be a huge amount of expense and confusion in shuffling round notional liabilities, like the pension deficit, borrowings and so on"
Not realy . THey would just cease to be memners of the BT group Pension scheme. They could leave any existing accrued rights in the BT scheme ofr transfer to a new Openreach pension scheme
The toothless regulator gnashes its gums once again.
What is urgently needed is directives (and money) for the last 5% ad for SME business parks etc
The government needs to direct the timetable for this
@bob_s2 Staff and unions would not likely take well to transferring to a new pension scheme given that older schemes often have better terms - so while what you propose might happen it would meet opposition and increase chance of long term experienced engineering staff leaving. Of course new staff may be cheaper but will have a longer period to reach full potential.
We are in agreement. That investment would be to the cities/towns to compete with VM, and not the rural areas.
OR will have a responsibility for at least part of the existing pension scheme, and arguably the majority of it given past employment practices. If you think OR can be floated off without responsibilities for past employees, you are living in a dreamland which the courts will demonstrate.
It's not just the existing employees. The (legally) more intractable issue is the responsibility for the deficit for accrued benefits (some are forecasting this will grow to £12bn given falls in bond returns). There are many more BT pensioners than there are BT employees.
The Pension scheme does not transfer. The.BT Group Scheme is the BT group scheme so there would be no liabilities for Openreach. They would set up their own pension scheme. Acrueed rights in the BT scheme would be retained
Openreach would have no liability for another companies pension scheme. THe acrueed deficit for pensionable servie under BT remains with BT
Lol, so the best thing for BT Group to do now, is let OR cease any future investment, and BT Wholesale or Retail can use OFCOM duct sharing arrangements to install it's own FTTP in OR's ducts, which it does not have to share with Sky/TT/etc?
I suggest you go read the Ofcom proposal which very explicitly does cover the pension issue, the access that BT Group will have to have to OR cashflows on the new arrangement and what the pension trustees might insist on (which could including an immediate and large charge against the company).
It would have a massive effect on OR's finances.
@Bob_s2: I'm not sure that would be possible. It would be a TUPE issue and being forced to move to a less valuable pension scheme would probably be a violation.
"* employees' most important terms and conditions of contracts are not worsened"
And moving to a new scheme would be worse or else very expensive for the new business.
It's not that TUPE prevents it per se but you can't just transfer everyone to <insert random pension scheme here>.
The BT pension deficit, recorded at £10.6bn in June 2015 and likely to be much higher after Brexit, will have a very negative effect on BT investment and dividends over the coming years.
This makes it even more important that OFCOM stimulate investment from other private companies. BT will not have the cash needed and broadband development in the UK will suffer badly.
All well and good.
But for me, on an EO line, in Scotland, attached to a 137 customer exchange, and where the 100-pair cable runs along the grass verge as there are no ducts or poles, it's going to make absolutely b***** all difference. And I would imagine that's a similar story for the "other 5%" of the country.
Oh, and I've had no phone line since the grass verge was cut. Wonder why that is.
Hi Broadband Watchers.
I feel S White has taken the responsibility of BT and placed it on all ISP,s but the down side will be higher charges to the customers as Openreach extendes it coverage of fibre plus G/fast and other services.
I for one have never seen a telephone cable just laid atop a grass verge. Is there some planning band in your area of telegraph poles and there's no money to bury the cable? It seems astonishing. Has anybody else see a telephone cable just left to lay on a grass verge?

Pensions schemes as such do not come under TUPE. There is some requirement's with regard to protecting existing pension rights but the new company does not have to offer an equivalent scheme

They are suggestions by OFCOM not proposals. You are into complex areas of company law and pensions regulation and I think a lot of what OFCOM are suggesting would breach those regulations
TheEulerID re Jim Willsher
Yes, I've seen a cable left lying on the verge (and across the tarmac of a passing place) for a good six months. When the wind blows the poles down in the Scottish Borders it's common practice to get things up and running (or down and dirty) by stringing the copper along the verge. How soon it gets buried depends on how soon the next lot of poles blow down!
This is why I'm concerned about Ofcom mandating the timescale for the last 5% rather than nattering on about pensions
None of this changes your position at all. It certainly doesn't change the economic case at all as the current infrastructure will already be a loss maker. Unless something was done to change the economics, I can't see how OR, separated or not, would priorities expenditure in the last 5%. It would require ways of funding it.
So now you are saying the pension issue is complec, involves company law and the pensions regulator yet earlier on you were breezily dismissing it as OR employees could simply be moved to a new scheme an all the old liabilities would disappear. You can't have it both ways.
In any event, the pension fund issue cannot be ignored. It's a legal imperative.
We've lived here for five years and the cable pre-dates us, so I don't see it getting buried any time soon. It's visible for about 1 KM, occasionally looping above the grass to cross over a tree root, before return to the murky world of the weeds. I'm amazed it hasn't been nicked - 1Km of 100 pair copper that could be bundled into a car simply by coiling it up.
@Eular why not secure 'investment' by making it a direct proportion of the costs recovered. Costs recovered include replacement costs so why not tie it that way. This includes rural and copper components can be replaced with alternatives.
The proposal is disappointing as it does not illustrate how investment is increased.
"I can't see how OR would prioritise expenditure in the last 5%. It would require ways of funding it"
Agreed. But that is exactly what the regulator is supposed to be doing. Inserting money from the industry and government to enable the last 5% to be constructed. In just the same way as the Royal Mail is required to provide 6 day service to the last bits of its network which can never be profitable
And here's another thing the regulator needs to get its head around. "The customer" is the person who picks up the phone or switches on the computer. Not SKY or Dido
This is just a rerun of the lead up to the split of British Gas in the 1990s. Both Ofcom and BT know that. The only question is why BT has been resisting the inevitable - probably because they want to preserve access to OR's cash flows when other divisions are in bad shape. The pension problem is complex but soluble as many utilities and other companies have split in the past.
While comments here focus on consumer broadband, a much more pressing issue is OR's dismal performance in installing leased lines in areas where it has an effective monopoly.
@961a. Wrong. OR is a wholesale infrastructure business - and will remain that in future. Its customers are communication providers - of many sizes - and its service to them varies from poor to awful. Trying to deal with millions of retail customers would merely make the situation worse.
If we want to subsidise the final 5% why do this through OR charges, which exempts VM and other from any responsibility, rather than through a levy on all broadband services?
So you want capital investment to be a part of "cost recovered", however you define that (surely turnover is easier). OR is a £5bn a year company without much prospect of a significant increase in turnover. Of that, around £2.5bn is wholesale line rental, maybe £0.5bn is VULA and the rest private circuits.
SO what percentage are you proposing of turnover? Bear in mind, if capex exceeds depreciation it means costs will increase which requires future funding.
The USO funding issue is, of course, out for consultation, but historically this has been financed through monopoly coverage. Excess profits from urban areas subsidising rural (as happens with phones, electricity distribution). However, there is no monopoly in urban areas. Shortly VM will have 60% coverage including the most profitable areas and absolutely no USO or wholesaling requirements.
gah789.OR arrived when BT reorganised its engineering bits.Customers remain folk at end of the line paying bills. Sky etc are separate corporate entities, trying to latch on to bits of infrastructure rather than construct their own.
I'd go further.Customers of Sky etc are also customers of OR via a third party.Time the regulator gave all retail customers the right to contact OR direct when they had a complaint.THAT would stir OR into improving service!
Funding for development has come from government Too convenient to kick final 5% down the road rather than fund work required
@961a While retail customers having access to OR would help for faults around the local loop, look at the example of the recent core network issues, OR would have been fielding very high volumes of calls for something it does not operate.
End result public may end up as the ball being passed around and some providers may under resource its own support.
@TheEulerID: Steve, you are one of the most pessimistic posters here, permanently telling others that things can't be done with BT. Do you have any financial interests with that business? At any case, what would you do to solve the areas Ofcom is trying to address here?
I have a modest number of shares (about 5,000), and what you describe as being pessimistic is what I would all realistic. If you wish to challenge my figures using realistic assumptions and numbers then fine. I'm very open to see financial projects (my background is very much statistical and quantitative), but what I constantly see is wishful thinking and not estimations.
So as far as that USO is concerned, I repeat. How is it to be funded and who will have responsibility to deliver it? Government, OR, local authorities? By a levy? If so on what?
That should have been @JNeuhoff of course. Not that I don't talk to myself of course, but that's a different matter...
Incidentally, I have proposed on other threads a levy to be charged on all BB connections to be allocated to regional bodies whose job it would be to fulfill the USO where it's not deemed cost-effective. The bodies would issue tenders to potential suppliers as with BDUK.
@TheEulerID: That would explain your pessimistic attitude. I am glad you are not working for Ofcom whose proposals are on the right track.
Do you have a better solution to offer than Ofcom, other than this constant corporate whining?
Quite clear that it is the government that must decree financing of the final 5% and that it will never happen otherwise.
The Phrase "Works in the Interest of ALL customers" is somewhat challenging, as there is the potential to severely limit what can be done. As this limitation if interpreted strictly means that if OR provided a service that was detrimental to any of their customers then they would be in breach, even if it were to the benefit of the vast majority... such that OR becomes risk averse... even worse if this limitation is not carefully worded statutory isntrument, OR by simply competing in a particular market segment is not in the interest of their some of those customers...
@Euliar Openreach is now using gross capex which includes subsidies but Openreach has £2.7bn EBITDA from £5.1bn Turnover.
That gross capex number reported of £1.5bn for 15/16 if converted to net capex might well include a 1m fttp passed. Expressing that as a proportion of the required cost recovery would allow the ambition to be discussed.
EBITDA is NOT profit. It's a misleading financial metric designed to persuade investors in high growth companies that it will (eventually) be profitable.
For inherently low-growth, capital intensive outfits like OR you simply can't ignore depreciation and financing costs. The operational profit for OR in 2016 was £1,363.
Also, operating profit does not including interest charges and those aren't attributed to individual divisions but stood at £712m at the group level. There were also specific payments at group level such as retrospective regulatory issues (it's unclear to what extent they are attributable to divisions).
So the actual net figure is nothing like you claim.
I also suggest you read this (there are other articles on similar lines)
"Furthermore, while capital expenditures are a critical, ongoing cash outlay for almost every company, EBITDA neglects capital expenditures."
@EulerID Thanks, though your helping make the case for Separation with above posts. Even the calculation of depreciation can be scrutinised as your in effect depreciating what was largely a capitalised labour cost. Depreciation often matches the capital, it looks more financially engineered than calculated.
Capital to cost recovered as a ratio could still be a means of introducing some control here.
What the hell are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with capitalising labour costs where it relates directly to setting up a capital asset. Plannint, installing and configuring a fibre cabinet is a capital cost, but enabling each connection is current account. Costs of contracted roadworks, which are mostly labour costs, are capitalised, so where's the difference? The alternative would be to charge all that to current account (which just reduces profits that year rather than being amortised over years).
In addition, a (rough) balance of depreciation/amortisation and capex is exactly what you'd expect over the long run when a company has fairly flat revenues. If capex increases rapidly without future increases in revenues what will happen is that borrowings go up and costs increase (financing costs & depreciation). Unless there is a reduction in other costs from the investment that depresses future profits.
@Euler you miss the point. Of course there is nothing wrong, but the financial engineering needs to be understood. The capitalisation level is subjective as is the depreciation level. The capitalisation levels have a profound influence on cost recovery and cash generation over the life of project.
VFM no idea what you are on about - especially the phrase The capitalisation level is subjective
Could you please explain what you mean that "the capitalisation level is subjective" and "the financial engineering needs to be understood"? Generally speaking, rules for what can and cannot be included as capital expenditure are defined in accounting standards (not to mention taxation rules).
There are always some grey areas in the attribution of costs in accountancy, but I doubt there's some huge scale of bending the rules. Worldcom famously did it to the tune of $3.8bn of operating cost being capitalised, but that was essentially a fraud perpetrated on investors.
This is an Article from the Telegraph with respect to the (misallocation) of capitalised labour costs in the telecoms industry and references Worldcom (in particular) and compares it to the UK position
This BT response to the PAC gives the breakdown on BDUK capex, including capitalised field workforce and project/planning costs (towards the end).
I can't work out if this makes my uneconomically viable cabinet closer or further away from an upgrade.
@kebabselector Impossible to say and even while Ofcom is talking of just months to resolve and new rules in place, we believe it will be a year and then another year for changes to be discussed by all interested parties, thus business as usual for another 2 years at least.
Oh well, I'll keep trying. Not sure what to try at the moment!
As one of the 5% it's really galling to find my broadband speeds and quality of service deteriorating month on month with much greater number of dropouts / loss of service than at any time before (well for the last 14 years that I have lived here and that includes dial - up). Yet Plusnet are to increase my charges and claim that service has improved. At this rate I'll soon be back to dial up speeds.

The Abeokuta railway main station, under the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan rail project of the Federal Government, has been relocated to the Moshood Abiola International Trade Fair Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
This is contrary to initial plans to locate it where about 1000 houses were penciled down for demolition, with the payment of about N2.8 billion compensation expected to be paid to residents, whose houses would have been demolished to pave way for the station.
Minister of Transportation, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi and the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun who jointly took this decision, when the minister came on an inspection visit to the site, noted that the decision was to save thousands of houses from being demolished and reduce the cost of compensation.
The minister however declared that December 2018 deadline given to the contractors handling the project still stands, adding that the Federal Government is poised to build a lasting infrastructure that will make life more meaningful for the people.
He stated further that with the resolution of the location, which had been hampering the progress of work on the project, contractors will immediately be directed to commence work on the project.
Governor Amosun has however assured that the Trade Fair complex will be relocated to another befitting site.

2nd Saturday

The purpose of planned giving is to ask parishioners to think about whether they are giving the right amount to their parish. This is important because parishes do not receive any central support. They are required to be self financing.
A letter from Canon Stuart to all Parishioners
St Mary's Rectory
4th October 2014
Dear Parishioner
Happy Feast of St Francis of Assisi. What a great day
to ask you "to preach the gospel without using words"
St Mary's is a dynamic and energetic parish and you – our parishioners - have made it so. But it is also different from many other parishes in that we have a very large turnover of people. At least a third of our congregation leaves and is replaced each year which means that we must constantly think about how we can best draw newcomers into the life of our parish……..in order to keep it alive and vibrant!
So, for example, we organise regular events to get people involved in various voluntary activities. We also normally run a planned giving campaign* every Lent. This is a time when we invite newcomers – and others who haven't already done so - to think about what they contribute financially to the parish. Unlike parishes in other parts of Europe and beyond we do not receive help from the Government or the Central Church authority……we are required to raise enough money to cover all our costs ourselves.
However, we didn't have a planned giving campaign during Lent this year……for a very good reason. In the autumn of 2013, I was asked by the Cardinal to put before the parish the Growing in Faith vision. The parish responded wonderfully and we raised £900,000 in pledges (spread over 5 years) but, in view of this, we felt that couldn't run our usual Lenten campaign.
But it's now nearly a year since Growing in Faith was completed and, with so many people coming and going since then, the Finance Committee and I have decided that the time has now come when we should do so and I would like to explain why.
We last had a planned giving campaign back in March 2013 and, as happens in most parishes if action is not taken, there has been a slight drop in our collections. This is not an immediate problem but we do need to address the issue as a number of costs have gone up over the same period. In addition, we will soon have a second priest which will increase our ability to meet the needs of our parishioners but will also increase our costs!
So far as our building work is concerned, Stage 1 of the development is almost complete and we will soon be able to return to our church and experience the wonderful new heating system and enjoy the restored floor! This work has, of course, been very expensive but, thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we have already raised around half the money that we need to pay for the work…….and the new heating system will be cheaper to run!
However, we will still need to take out a loan from the diocese to cover the balance. This will need to be repaid and, looking further ahead, we will also need to raise additional funds to pay for Stage 2 (which will involve replacing all the lighting and redecorating the church).
So I am afraid that we can't afford to relax!
Can you help?
Talking about money when times are challenging is not easy and I would like to say very clearly that I do not want anyone to give more than they can afford – particularly if you are living on a fixed income or a pension or if you gave all that you can to the "Growing in Faith" campaign last year.
What this means is that we will need the help of those of you who are still in a reasonably strong financial position…perhaps because you are in a secure job or because your financial commitments have gone down over the last year or so.
Only you can decide if you can do more to help but, if you are new to the parish or missed our last planned giving campaign I would like you to think about three questions over the next two weeks.
It is not always possible to come here to Mass every week, but the parish is still here and we still need money to pay the bills even when you cannot come. So I would like you to think about giving a regular amount each week (or month) which you would give even if you couldn't come here to Mass. You can do this by setting up a monthly bankers order (which also has the advantage of reducing our administration costs) or by giving when you next return to the Church what you were unable to give while you were away, which many of you do already.
Why don't I add 25p to every £1 that I give with Gift Aid?
Finally, if you pay tax in the UK, I would urge you to consider giving with Gift Aid because, if you do, we can claim the tax that you've already paid on your donations - which will add an extra 25p to every £1 that you give at no extra cost to yourself. All you have to do is to complete a simple form saying that you pay tax and then pay by bankers order or by cheque. Alternatively, if you prefer making your contribution in cash, we can supply you with numbered envelopes so that we can claim the right amount of tax.
Please click here to download a Pledge Form
How will the campaign be run?
We will be focusing on this issue for the next two weeks and next weekend a member of the Finance Committee will set out the parish's financial situation in more detail. What I would then like everyone to do is to fill in a pledge card telling us what you can do to help (as this will enable us to plan on a realistic basis). You can do this at any time (forms are available at the back of the church) but there will be an opportunity to do this during Mass on the weekend of October 18/19th.
You can, of course, simply write down what you give now if that is all you can afford. But if you can give a bit more, it will make a real difference and there will be absolutely no problem about changing the amount that you give if your circumstances change. All I can ask is that you do what you can and, whatever you decide, this letter comes with my thanks for your support and every blessing.
Yours sincerely
The Parish's Income and Costs - January to December 2013
These were our average weekly income and expenditure figures last year (excluding money raised for and spent on building work and other one off items, grants and donations for other charities) and what they show is that we had a surplus of £777 a week. This may sound like a lot of money but it could be eaten up all too quickly as we still have to complete the renovation of our church and to keep up with ever raising costs.

This is the era of showcasing your services and inviting new customers to your websites. All the industries and businesses related to them are competing against each other to win the race of attracting new customers and retaining the existing ones.
Yes; as per some research statistics from some reputed organizations around the world. Let's check out the statistics:
- As per a study by Hitwise connexity; 58% of web searches are conducted by mobile deviceEricsson predicts that; By the year 2020, 80 % of all the mobile data traffic will be from the smartphones.
- There are 53% chances that if your website is taking more than 3 seconds to open then your customers will abandon it.
- A one-second delay can lead to a decrease of conversions by seven percent.
Businesses around the world are opting for website development to cope up with the competition. But the development of website doesn't mean that you will get your customers and ROI. Your competitors are using more effective modern methods in their websites to attract new customers.
Small businesses like cleaning services and florist in Australia are opting for AMP implementation for their business website. The most popular platform for website development of small business is Drupal and WordPress. So it is necessary to integrate AMP in the Drupal and WordPress website to improve the user experience.
As per Adobe analytics, 7 percent of US's top publisher traffic is from the Google AMP web pages. Still, many businesses haven't adopted for Google AMP. After its official release till now; Google AMP for Small Business documents has increased to a number of over 2 billion.
According to DoubleClick, a higher engagement level of around 90 % is noticed after adopting Google Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) and around 80 % of publishers are receiving higher variable rates. Website development around the world is transforming as per the business needs.
I am sure these mobile statistics have persuaded you to opt for Google AMP in your business website. So, what are you waiting for? Implement AMP HTML to your current HTML pages. We have already implemented AMP for our blog pages.
If your website is not updated with the trends then your customers will bend their ways towards your competitors. So stop losing your business and start earning new clients by implementing AMP in your business website.
Reach to us to share your requirements with one of our business executives; We have a fair experience of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Website Design and Development. We will transform your website into Google AMP for Small Business Websites.

The HM revenue and customs authority require that all UK taxpayers file their tax return on time and following the authority's rules and regulations. Failure to submit your self-assessment returns can result in a significant problem if you as the taxpayer is not careful.
The HMRC has its own rules and regulations which it expects all taxpayers to adhere to. In the same light, they also have laws and mechanisms that can help them quickly identify and catch non-filers and late filers whom they can also punish as per the law.
Here is a brief overview of how the HMRC identifies non-filed returns and the various punishments given to the taxpayers culpable for them.
Can I be caught when I don't file my tax returns? And how?
Every government institutions have a systemic and precise record keeping mechanism that allows them access and retrieve records with ease. Therefore, the HMRC as a government entity has its records of taxpayers and taxpayer activities where they can easily refer to and find out if you have or haven't filed your rental income tax returns; if you have submitted your returns well and good. If not;
This is what will happen if you fail to file your rental income tax return;
Well, while the HM revenue and customs authority won't jail you for failing to file returns for your rental income, they sure have some severe penalties.
For late filers, the penalties are somewhat light. For example, the HMRC has put in place a £100 penalty for late returns of up to 3 months this includes even the rental income tax return. If it's later than three months, then taxpayers might pay an even larger amount of the penalty.
Also, when you fail to file your tax return for a consecutive number of years and you are eligible for a rebate this year, then the HMRC can withhold your landlord's tax rebate until you file your imminent self-assessment retail income tax return.
The body argues that these penalties are meant to encourage taxpayers to submit their self-assessments on time and to subsequently use their refunds to cover for any tax liabilities that may arise for failure to file their returns.
Nonetheless, the HMRC can withdraw its penalties if you have a reasonable excuse for not filing your returns. What are these reasons?
- If someone close to you (family or relative) died during the period of filing tax returns
- You were admitted to a hospital for an extended period that prevented you from submitting your self-assessment tax returns
- you suffered a severe medical condition at the time of filing the returns
- your computer or software broke down when filing the returns ( you must be able to prove this)
- Delays that could not have been predicted or avoided. These could be postal delays or delays caused by a disability.
These are some the situations that can make the HMRC not fine you for failing to file your rental tax income.
In conclusion, landlords in the UK are the people with the least taxable income. It is therefore unwise not to file your rental income tax returns without a reasonable excuse. So, as a landlord who is need of their refund, ensure that you file al your returns on time and following all the guidelines given by the HMRC.

She was then charged with public indecency after the show that was originally made for My Free was posted on other sites. The incident greatly increased Sunderland's popularity, and she has continued to webcam and speak positively of it as a career.Welcome to the most comprehensive list of sex cam reviews on the Net - period!Regardless, if she's a studio girl or work-from-home model, I love spoiling my favorites by buying them gifts and tipping. (I like to believe that.) Fresh content in porn is difficult to find, especially nowadays.
Now, I will say that the vast majority of my porn collection is hardcore rather than solo.
I'm Paul, your concierge for access to sexy live girls. I have been watching online porn since I was in my teens - and not to date myself here - but there weren't really any live sex cam sites around at the time (I believe i Friends was one of the first ones and that was around 1999).
I've found tons of great sites and I'm presenting them to you in categories, ranked by quality! Also, if any of you remember the early days of live cams you'll recall that it was exciting, but the quality was awful (it didn't help that many of us were still on dial-up internet) That being said, it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I really started to experience live cams.
Some girls even squirt - and while I have had to deal with really weak squirters who also take a ton of time to finally eek out a little liquid, I have also found a few girls who are like Old Faithful with how much and how well they can make themselves squirt.
And when I find babes like that - who really provide the service I desire - I make sure to remember them and visit them often and tip them.

Antique Stained Glass Window Angel Aloft CIRCA 1830
This beautiful antique window had to be removed from its very heavy wooden frame to make it possible to handle it. The ancient lead cames were crumbling badly and so all were replaced Each individual pane of hand painted glass was thoroughly cleaned and expertly re set in the lead cames. The restoration of this window took many weeks.The shear size of the window. necessitated that it should be placed in three separate frames. Three separate photos were taken and displayed together as the window will be when housed in a single frame. The joints are a perfect match and not out of line like the photographs. The church of origin is questionable. I have been given the names of five churches demolished by the company who finaly sold it after some years of storage. This window is now in perfect condition after a one hundred percent restoration job. A number of other windows from the same church were used in replacing every broken pane thus making this one perfect.
Window measures. Glass 26 3/4"W x 95"H (57cm x 241cm) The three shipping frames are:-

Article and Photos by: Andrea Chvatal
Atlanta, GA – Knocked Loose made a stop in Hell at The Masquerade with a few of their friends on a co-headliner tour with Terror last Friday night.
The first opener of the evening was a local Atlanta hardcore band, Revenge Season. This band dominated the stage with their female lead vocalist, hard and heavy sound, and immersive crowd interaction. They played many jams off their recently released EP Eternal Despair. This local performance is one to keep your eyes on within the scene.
Next we had another up and coming hardcore band, Year of the Knife. This group brought their high energy to this evening of spin kicks and stage dives. They encouraged the start of a huge pit in the middle of the crowd that would not dissipate for the remainder of the evening. Playing the entirety of their EP Ultimate Disease, they got the fans up and moving and ready for the first of the touring bands.
If you've been on social media at all the last few months then you might be familiar with this next band, Jesus Piece. Their viral video featured a young girl hopping up on stage during one of their performances; she grabbed the mic and commanded the crowd for an entire song. This recently signed Philadelphia based, beatdown hardcore band is looking to release their first full length LP in 2018 and for being such a young group they are quickly gaining recognition within the community. From their heavy breakdown and deep lyrics, they captivated the crowd. This is a live performance you do not want to miss out on if they come to your town!
Our last opener is a veteran within the hardcore community – Terror. Immediately demanding the respect and attention of everyone in the room, this band brought the classic sound and chaotic energy that is familiar within the genre. This Los Angeles group played many old favorites off their first full length album One with the Underdogs, as well as newer gems of their most recent album The 25th Hour. The band encouraged a very active pit in the middle of the crowd which had fans stage diving left and right! By the end of their set the entire room was dripping in sweat and primed for our headliner.
Then our headliner for the evening took the stage – Knocked Loose. This barely five year formed band has completely taken over the beatdown hardcore scene. Between their catchy lyrics and frontman Bryan Garris's unique sound, this band captivates their fans with each and every song. They did not disappoint their fans by playing favorites such as "Counting Worms" with the infamous "dog bark", to older favorites such as "The Gospel". They had the whole crowd moving, moshing, and breaking down during their entire set. This is certainly a band band to keep your eyes on in 2018!

Floral Spotlight: Dogwood
March 2, 2017
Spring is around the corner which has us reminiscing on this dreamy dogwood photoshoot we collaborated on with our friend, Christina McNeill.
Blooming branches are always a favorite of Spring but dogwood always seems to steal the show (in our opinion)! This arrangement, simple yet elegant, was created to put dogwood branches in the spotlight and prove that sometimes, using just one element can make even greater an impact.
We can't wait to dive into Spring and start using this beauty again, it's become a favorite of ours!

Echo's Fin
One of the most recently identified individual dolphins, Echo, appears to have an odd deformity. Echo is very shy and, unlike most of the other dolphins, doesn't like to come close to you, so we haven't gotten a good look at his deformity. When we first saw Echo, we thought that he/she had a chopped off dorsal fin, but as we edged closer we noticed that his/her fin appeared to be collapsed. After studying a few of our photos though, Echo's fin looks like it may be more than just collapsed – Echo appears to have TWO dorsal fins!
It gets way weirder than that. If it's true that Echo has two fins, they apparently bend over and the ends join together.
We have never seen anything like it before. Echo's fin could just be collapsed; however, dorsal fin collapse is not common in bottle-nose dolphins.
We'll keep you updated if we find out anything new.

I have been so busy lately, I have had to put priority on getting images delivered to all of my wonderful people and I haven't been able to blog many senior sessions – but senior season is in FULL SWING. I was getting Sammie's ready for delivery and I had to blog this one because it seems like we were able to fit in everything under the sun. We did STUDIO time, we did some urban images AND we managed to fit in a nature setting or two. It is pretty much because this little one is so. dang. easy. to photograph and literally every image was gorgeous.
Sammie graduates from Pulaski Academy this year and I cannot wait to see what is ahead for her. Thanks for being gorgeous Sammie and thanks for being willing to hike through nature with me and get such amazing images!
I truly love these senior girls – they are just the absolute best.

Acne can occur on the skin at any point of time as a result of dehydration, hormone disorders, genetics, puberty, menstruation, and poor diet. It is quite common to the teenagers. There are several things responsible for acne scars. Pimples, breakouts are quite common among those who have oily skin tone; too much oil makes it difficult for the skin to breathe by clogging the pores, the sebum gets accumulated behind blocked pores which contain bacteria. This bacterium spreads and causes painful acne. Another reason that causes acne scars is the pinching and poking of pimples.
Are these acne scars are bringing you down and ruining your confidence? While there are many cosmetic therapies that could be done to remove acne scars but these treatments do not offer any permanent results. Instead of looking out for best cosmetic treatments or products for curing these marks and scars, which are loaded with chemicals, one can easily adapt to all natural remedies which are found in our kitchen and have no side effects. We bring to you a
considerable list of the best natural remedies that can help you to get rid of these scar marks and spots fast.
1. Lemon Juice for Acne Scars
Lemon is considered as natural bleach, it improves the appearance of dark acne scars and blemishes by lightening them. It contains Vitamin C which helps in rebuilding collagen. Lemon can fade away freckles and reduce redness. Just take a fresh lemon and squeeze out its juice; if you wish, you can dilute it too. Apply this juice directly on your scars with a cotton ball. Add some honey with your lemon juice to make it more effective. Do this once a day for two to three weeks during, using lemon on a regular basis will definitely show you results.
2. Cucumber Juice
Cucumber is great skin toner which helps in keeping the skin texture smooth and supple. It reduces inflammation, heals the scars caused by acne and prevents further outbreak. You just need to cut the cucumber into small pieces and blend it to get a smooth solution. Apply this all over the face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. This pack will sooth your skin and gives a cooling effect.
3. Tea Tree Oil
This is one of the most popular remedies for curing acne scars and furthermore prevents any outbreaks. Tea tree oil is an excellent antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral essential oil. This oil is imported from Australia and is widely used for healing hypertrophic scars. It is very hydrating, provides moisture and helps hydrate the scar which eventually diminishes the scar and make it fade away. It is said that this oil consists of terpinen-4-ol, which gets rid of bacterial activity and kills the bacteria permanently. It neutralizes the acne bacteria, which
resides on your skin and can later develop into acne.
Add 2-4 drops tea tree oil into 2-4 drops of clean water. Take a cotton ball and dip it in the diluted tea tree oil; apply this to your acne scars. Repeat the process twice daily.
4. Raw Tomatoes
Tomato juice is very effective to reduce skin discoloration. If you are suffering from pimple marks, tomato juice could be an effective remedy. It is found to be effective in reducing the appearance of the marks or scars. Tomato has vitamin A and carotenes which provide antioxidant compounds that can help in healing damaged tissues and promote the healthy growth of new cells. Simple, rub raw tomato slices on your skin 2-3 times every day and leave it for 15- 20 minutes. Remove it by rubbing the skin with wet hands and rinse off with water.
5. Turmeric and Honey
Honey is completely a natural and chemical-free used widely for treating acne scars.

It is found that this combination is t perfect remedy for killing the germs outside and as well as inside your skin.

Labradoodle History
The Labradoodle has its origin in Australia. In the late 80's Wally Conron bred a Labrador retriever to a standard poodle to create a non-allergenic , non-shedding dog for Guide Dogs Victoria. The purpose of creating the labradoodle was to combine the intelligence, grace, beauty and coat of the Poodle to enhance the mellowness, loyalty, devotion, and trainability of a Labrador. In addition, mixing the gene pools of these two pure breeds results in increased healthiness and genetic diversity which helps reverse the poor health as a result of years of inbreeding and line breeding routinely carried out in the maintenance of pure breed dogs.
First generation Labradoodles (F1's) are the result of the mating between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. Some of these F1's meet the criteria of a Labradoodle in terms of coat, sheding, and allergies, while some do not (see breed standard). That point bears repeating, not all F1's are non-shedding! In fact, most F1's do shed. Our Hershey is an F1 Labradoodle that is non-allergenic and does not shed and this is one reason why we have chosen her to start our breeding program. To further stabilize the coat and increase the consistency within a litter and breed towards the correct breed standard, an F1 Labradoodle is bred back to a Poodle, to create an F1b Labradoodle (first generation backcross, also called a second generation labradoodle). F1b Labradoodles are much more likely than F1's to meet the criteria of a Labradoodle with a beautifully fleecy or woolly non-shedding, non-allergenic coat. This is why we breed for the F1b generation of Labradoodle and our puppies conform beautifully to the Labradoodle breed standard. Some breeders continue to breed F1b x F1b to make F3 Labradoodles. Higher generations of Labradoodles are called multigenerational labradoodles. We have some F1b's and mutigen Labradoodles in our program waiting for their health testing to be completed.
What is the difference between a Labradoodle with just Labrador Retriever and poodle genes (also called an American Labradoodle) and an "Australian Labradoodle"? The short answer is that the Australian labradoodle has other dog breeds mixed in, in addition to Labrador Retriever and Poodle. For example, when introducing the brown colour into the Australian labradoodle breeders in Australia used a brown Irish Water Spaniel. Cocker Spaniels are also very common in an Australian Labradoodle pedigrees, called an "infusion".
At Canadian Chocolate Labradoodles, we recognize that the American Labradoodle lines and the Australian Labradoodle lines are different but they are both great dogs with many important similarities in coat and personalityt. Just come and meet some of ours and you will agree. In keeping with the original philosophy of genetic diversity being critical to health there is now a movement in the Labradoodle breeding community to cross American Labradoodle lines with Australian Labradoodle lines to increase the gene pool, increase the health of the breed, while still breeding towards to Labradoodle breed standard. We call these Labradoodles with both American and Australian lines to be "blended" lines. We have two blended Labradoodles in our breeding program and they are spectacular!
