Ever been offered a beer by a local in a shebeen or been shown the sights of a city when you've been totally lost?
8 out of 10 Brits have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of an act of kindness whilst travelling and that is what GlobalGiving.co.uk's new campaign, in partnership with the Travel Foundation, is all about.
GlobalGiving.co.uk, the online charity market place, is launching a travel writing competition on the 22nd June, in conjunction with the Travel Foundation and an array of prominent travellers & writers including Channel 4's Jon Snow & Radio 5 Live presenter Anita Anand, who have shared their experiences and stories.
The prize for the person with the most compelling travelling tale is a five night trip to visit and get involved in one of GlobalGiving.co.uk's projects. Projects are based all over the developing world and range from teaching locals in Mexico to make jam to sell to tourists to providing bicycles to school children in rural India. The lucky winner will get the opportunity to choose which one of the over 350 projects on the GlobalGiving.co.uk's website they see first hand.
A third of Brits say that one of the most enjoyable ways of giving back to poorer countries is talking to and getting to know local people. The 'Act of Kindness' campaign is all about the connections you have made whilst traveling abroad, from the person who gave you a lift to the beach in Thailand to the local who directed you around Delhi. However big or small, if it made an impact on you Global Giving wants to hear about it.
All you have to do is go to www.globalgiving.co.uk/kindness and write up to 100 words about an act of kindness you have experienced whilst travelling abroad. Explain what happened and how it made a difference to your day and you could be in with a chance of winning flights for two to any of the countries featured on the GlobalGiving.co.uk website, courtesy of Whitedotbox and 5 nights accommodation donated by Expedia.
Half of all Brits think that poverty is the biggest problem facing our world today. By donating via www.GlobalGiving.co.uk travellers have the chance to keep a connection with a part of the world that is important to them and make a real difference to communities throughout the developing world by helping the people that have helped them.
So wherever you want to stay connected to you can make a difference by visiting www.globalgiving.co.uk/kindness <http://www.globalgiving.co.uk/kindness> and supporting a sustainable charity project to ensure that the beautiful parts of the world and people you have met on your travels will still be there and thriving when you get the opportunity to go back.

We had been discussing Hram for the past two weeks in the weekly Primaria meeting, and both times they mentioned the căruţă and asked me whether I'd like to ride in it - obviously, and the mayor had known this already for quite some time. The căruţă is just a cart pulled by a horse - I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it and people use it for real life and work and stuff, but I just think it's the greatest. So naturally I wanted to ride in one.
I had the day off and after lunch I heard a knock on the door - it was the mayor! He took one look at me and said, I'll give you 5 minutes to get dressed. In my defense, I was absolutely dressed. All I had to do was put on a sweater, but tank tops are just really scandalous apparently.
We went to the House of Culture and there was the căruţă! With men in national costume decorating the horse and everything - my one regret in life is that I was really awful about taking pictures so there aren't any.. It got dark eventually and then I regretted it more because the mayor "took" a bunch of pictures but I can 100% tell you that he doesn't know how to use a camera so I don't think any actually exist. There's always next year?
Anyway, a woman ushered me into the House of Culture and dressed me in costume too! I did manage to take a selfie after she left the room, because, duh.
I stood outside the House of Culture for a while (looking fantastic, obviously) waiting for the men to come back, as they had left to get more decorations (and probably wine) because waiting on a woman is virtually impossible, as you all know, so they had to start without me.
|Casa de Cultura decorated for the evening
Then they picked me up and away we went! No one spoke English, and I said very few words the entire time, but we (a few men, one boy about 16, and two girls younger than the boy) went all through the village inviting people to Hram. This consisted of bringing them a shot of wine and some cookies/candy and occasionally some shouting and banging on a broken drum. They knew we were coming, because most houses had another jug of wine to share with us, more candy and cookies, and even real food at some.
|The inside of the cart - complete with a bunch of corn and a jug of wine
The young boy would push the girls forward and say, look, we have ladies too, and even a foreigner! He was quite confident in all that he did and it was adorable. Even though I was the foreigner. Nici o problema. It was a lot of fun to ride through the village, especially when we went to the side I had never been to - we went up the hill and you can see the whole town from that side! So pretty, and I'll definitely be walking up there later.
|The gypsies dancing
|There were many more people after dancing - I think we kind of sneaked in for our first round
Here's hoping my next căruţă ride is sooner than a year away! I'd really like it to be my main form of transportation, if possible.....

My Mom firmly believed in encouraging me in every project I wanted to tackle in the kitchen from the earliest age. Her Mother had been the type of woman who loved cooking, but didn't want anyone helping, or tasting, or judging. Everyone had to stay out of the kitchen...until it was time to clean up, that is. Mom, therefore, was a self-taught cook who found her way, one recipe at a time. Everyone was welcome in my Mom's kitchen, and if you wanted to help, all you had to do was grab a spoon.
I can remember stirring things from a very early age, asking questions, and having her explain things to me as I watched her. As soon as I was tall enough to clear the counter and handle a knife, she gave me her old 1950s Better Homes & Gardens Junior Cookbook to look at. I loved that book, and tackled a couple of recipes from it one at a time. Easy recipes like an Apple Crisp (if you haven't been reading this blog for very long, I have to interject a funny story about that I've told before: In the cookbook, it ecstatically boasted that if you gave Dad a wedge of cheddar cheese with his Apple Crisp, you'd get a pleased smile and a hearty thanks. Or something. Well, that sounded good to me, but I had no idea why, and had no good hunk of cheese lying around. So I served my Dad his slice of Apple Crisp with a Kraft Singles slice. I didn't get a pleased smile...it was more like bewilderment until I showed him the book. Then he laughed. A lot.). There were super easy cookies to make in that book, salads, drinks, casseroles that required no real work...kid stuff.
But what I really wanted to do was move past the easy recipes and try my hand at what I thought was a complicated recipe. My Mother, for as long as I can remember, had been making these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies that were exquisite. Crispy on the outside, but just slightly chewy on the inside, they're the kind you can't stop eating. The kind that makes you want to take the dough, bowl and all, into the next room and devour as you watch movies. The kind that when we had a young Parisian family friend stay with us for 3 months, the first thing he would do each morning was sit in front of the cookie jar and eat a stack of them (I wasn't his Mom, and he was 20, so who was I to interject? Live and let live, is what I say. As long as it's not my kid. But I digress). This recipe had real measuring requirements going on, which is why I thought it was so complicated. It had all sorts of terms I didn't know about: What did it mean to cream the butter? Why did you have to mix the dry ingredients separately? Why did it even matter if the dry ingredients were added to the wet, instead of just tossing it all in at the same time?
I very vividly remember trying to measure things out, and stay on top of the recipe's steps, all the while shouting for my Mother's help as she sat in the family room, no doubt trying to relax. I haven't asked her, but I can surmise that she was probably thrilled that I wanted to make cookies for the family, and was eager to give me a project so she could put her feet up. Too bad, Mom. Because I had questions about everything. But she was very firm that she was not going to sit in the kitchen with me. I had to figure some of this stuff out for myself. That was the beginning of my love of baking right there - knowing what an exact science it was, and trying to figure out what went wrong when it turns out less-than-perfect.
If memory serves, the cookies came out pretty well that first time, if not slightly burned. Mom swore she loved the burnt ones. What a great teacher she was (and still is). I made a lot of things over the years, but this recipe was the one I kept coming back to, trying to make it better each time. Today, they are my family's favorite cookie. They make a tremendous amount (10 dozen) so they are my go-to for taking down to the Beach, or whenever anyone needs a big batch of cookies. My kids have helped me countless times to make them; and I love that someday, when they're ready, they might make this the first recipe they try all on their own.
The recipe originally came from Southern Living in who knows what year, but my Mother modified it quite a lot to make it her own.
Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 egg
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups regular oats, uncooked
• 1/2 a bag of mini chocolate chips
1) Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating well at medium speed.
2) Add egg and beat well; add oil and vanilla, mixing well on medium-low speed.
3) Combine flour, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
4) Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, and flatten each ball gently with tines of a fork (I don't flatten completely, just a smidge).
5) Bake at 325˚ for 15 minutes. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire racks.

Personality types can be divided into five unique styles: classic, creative, dramatic, natural and romantic. To determine where you lie, read the descriptions below and take a tour in your closet. Can you see any trends in your purchases? Which category do they fit into?
You may find your style personality falls into several different types. You are a unique individual with a diverse lifestyle. Your style personality will reflect this and may change depending on the environment. For example, your style for work may differ from your style for play. Further, you may find your style has changed as you aged, as you changed careers, or as you altered your lifestyle in some other way (e.g. by having children). Determining your preferences will help you narrow in on the person you are and who you want to be, so you are better able to dress for yourself. Now that's a beautiful thing!
The Classic
This style is traditional, elegant, and timeless, with items in tailored cuts. You may find an abundance of structured suits, jackets, pencil skirts and trousers in your closet, in classic colours like black, cream, brown, beige. Fabrics such as light wools, fine cotton, and silks make up the majority of your wardrobe and are easily mixed and matched. Accessories are made of traditional materials like gold, silver, and pearls, with simple designs. You choose a timeless hairstyle, accompanied by a safe and predictable makeup routine. Quality is valued over quantity and investment buying is preferred. Your style is best described as "understated," "refined," and "sophisticated."
The Creative
This style values uniqueness and trend-setting above all else. Interested in runway looks, but always adding a twist, you combine interesting colours, textures, and themes into your outfits. You may find unusual silhouettes in your closet, with garments from a collection of different decades. Fabrics are glittered or shined, with exotic or geometric prints. With this style, you aim to stand out, as the dressing is considered a true art form. Jewelry is bold, costumed, and eye-catching. Your hairstyle is often long and curled, or short and dramatic, which is combined with an experimental and ever-changing makeup routine. Your style is best described as "eclectic," "unpredictable," and "one-of-a-kind."
The Dramatic
This style always makes an entrance, with garments that have that "wow" factor. You often put practicality second to looking good, preferring to over-dress for an occasion rather than under-dress. Your closet is full of impulse buys, in dramatic colours and animal prints. Accessories are daring, to make an impression. Playing with different looks and reinventing oneself is considered fun. Perfectly coiffed hair is matched with a red lip, smoky eye, and luscious lashes. Your style is best described as "glamourous," "feminine," and "bold."
The Natural
This style is based on comfort and casual styling. You may find your work and play wear overlap, with garments in your closet made primarily in denim, stretch knits, khaki, and tweed. Jewelry is often in earth tones and natural materials such as wood, shells, and stones. When possible, loose-fitting clothes are chosen that don't limit movement. Makeup and hair styling is minimal, as you are bored by lengthy beauty routines. For footwear, flat shoes and boots are preferred, choosing a kitten heel over a stiletto for fancier occasions. Your style is best described as "easy," "relaxed," and "no-fuss."
The Romantic
This style is feminine, luxurious and all about the details such as ruffles, bows, and frills. You may find floral, pastel and detailed pieces in your closet made of cashmere, silk, lace or tulle. Delicate and dainty jewelry is preferred, from simple to elaborate pieces. Makeup is kept subtle, with an emphasis on the eyes. For footwear, the choice is often kitten heels, peep-toe pumps, ballerina flats, or Mary-Janes. Your style can be best described as "girlie," "figure-enhancing," and "delicate."
Once you know where you fall, embrace it. Dress for yourself and no one else. Pinterest can be a great source of outfit inspiration for different style personalities.
Have you taken the challenge? Where do you fit? Let us know in the comments below.

53 year old Delroy Grant was arrested in November 2009 for multiple horrible crimes such as; breaking and entering, rape, burglary and sexual assault. The defendant has been jailed for life after a police hunt which cost £10million and lasted nearly two decades. Delroy Grant was accused of attacking over 200 elderly people at least over 80 years old. His first wife, Janet Watson, said:
"He was very charming and sophisticated. I thought I'd found my soul-mate. But then the violence started."
Grant was good-looking and had a friendly nature, according to the people that knew him well. It was disturbing and shocking to discover how vile and brutal he really was. Police have branded him as "perverted, callous and a violent individual" who attacked some of the most vulnerable people in society. Grant denied 29 charges, between 1992 and 2009 at Woolwich Crown Court, before finally being brought to justice and arrested.

First, I love love love the gouache. Best "mistake" I ever made (in art!).
Second, yes, there is a crease in the middle of the painting. "Doughnut Painting, First Try" is under this painting. And when I messed it up, I washed as much paint off the paper as I could. Then I folded it and threw it away. I did not do any of that in a calm manner, because painting does not make me calm. It makes me a maniac. I was a raging maniac.
I'm keeping this painting even though it has a crease. It reminds me to pause before I throw away a painting. It reminds me to keep trying. And, well, I like pink frosting.

Who is responsible for medical bills in a car accident / personal injury case?
Monday, July 24, 2017
How Will My Medical Bills Be Paid After An Accident?
If you have been injured in an accident you may find yourself asking "How are my medical bills going to get paid and who is responsible for paying them"? With the rising costs of healthcare, dealing with medical bills after an accident can cause a great deal of stress. The more serious the injuries in the case often mean the more serious the medical bills are going to be.
Initially medical bills will be your responsibility. However, this doesn't mean that you will ultimately be on the hook for those bills. The bills you have incurred due to someone else's negligence can be added to any settlement demand or introduced at trial asking the other party pay them.
Depending on the type of claim you have there may be insurance that will pay a portion of the medical bills up-front. This is commonly seen in automobile accidents where there is an insurance policy that contains a "med pay" provision. In these cases the insurance company will pay a set amount towards medical bills prior to the case being resolved.
In other cases where there is no med pay provision in the policy, the medical bills will first be submitted to your health insurance. Your health insurance will reduce the amount of the overall medical bills as they would in any other visit to a health care provider. Very rarely will health insurance completely wipe out the entire billed amount. The costs not covered by health insurance will be your responsibility until the case can get resolved.
In order to determine who will ultimately be on the hook for the medical bills or those amounts that you cannot afford to pay out of pocket, you will need to determine which party is responsible for the accident. To do this you must first learn all of the details in the given case and to determine which laws will apply in your particular situation.
Our attorneys will work with your providers to try to halt their collections tactics until the case is resolved. Often, providers will file liens for the services they have rendered if they are aware of a possible personal injury claim. These amounts will need to be paid back once the case is resolved but the providers will not be actively pursuing collections while the case is pending. It is important to obtain all of the information regarding the liens and other medical bills in order to fully evaluate your claim for recovery.
Once a case is settled our attorneys will work with you to minimize the amount of medical liens and other bills that need to be made to ensure that you are getting the maximum recovery.

About Three
Three is the youngest of the UK mobile networks and often considered the challenger network. It is often where you'll find the best data deals (they have an unlimited data plan called 'All You Can Eat' for example).
Don't be fooled into thinking that, because Three is younger that the other networks that it is not sufficient. They skipped the 2G networks (although in some rural areas they sublicense 2G network space to ensure voice calls can be made), so all of their infrastructure runs on clear 3G and 4G technology.
In 2016 their parent company tried to buy O2 in the UK, but this was blocked by the European Union.
Three operate most of their 4G on the 1800MHz spectrum, with some 800MHz too. You can see more about the 4G frequencies available in the UK here.
Mobile phone users often like Three due to their very appealing roaming plans. Via their Feel At Home scheme you can use your minutes, texts and data in 42 countries (including the USA) for free. In reality data speeds are slower than at home, but still perfectly sufficient for holiday browsing and communications.
Three sell mobile phone plans, and mobile broadband plans (for tablets and dongles). Whilst they run on the same network, they can't be interchanged (that is, a Three mobile phone plan can't be used in a iPad).

Moving forward
I never considered the possibility of recording a solo album. It was just never something that crossed my mind. I figured that putting them up on SoundCloud would be the final resting place for all the tracks I recorded in my little home studio. I never thought that people would want an album they could take with them, so you can imagine my surprise when the requests start coming in. Only then did something inside me start wondering about actually doing it.
So I picked up the phone and started calling a few people. Getting quotes on rates and trying to find a producer and session drummer to fill the gaps and help create a highly refined product.
Slow road
So now that I have started reaching out, a few studios have been short listed and the other people I need have also been short listed. While I would love to just jump into the studio and stop everything for a month to complete this project, it just isn't a reality. Bills to pay, responsibilities to take care of and not wanting to miss a moment with my family make this a long term project. I am setting up a schedule that should allow me to complete this project in around 6 months and I will keep everyone posted regarding the progress.
So this little adventure has got me nervous and excited at the same time. I am really looking forward to working with some fantastic folk and then, of course, delivering a beautiful product to you, my loyal fans. So I pray that the Lord will guide my heart and hands, blessing the work I do. Keep your eyes peeled for further info!
Album Launched on all digital platforms: 7 Kinds of Strange
Play through of the track 7 Kinds of Strange
Here is a full track preview of one of the songs that will be included in the new album
My initial project has finally launched the album. Pretty excited about it all, finally, there is a line in the sand
Last week friday I received news that my musical mentor and dear friend had passed away. His family asked me to do an eulogy. Having delivered it this afternoon, I decided I wanted to let the world know about the man that had shaped me into some semblance of a musician.
My sincere apologies for being so quiet. Things have been really busy my side and some really exciting developments are under way. So here it is, a long over due update.
Loads of fun and games in the last studio session!
Often we strive for perfection and give little thought to the untold pressure it places on us. This pressure has a significantly adverse effect on our creative ability.

Egypt, c. 1300 B.C.-Egypt, 1213 B.C.
The most famous Egyptian pharaoh was also called Ramses the Great, who ruled his kingdom for over 60 years. He is especially known for building large monuments often to himself.
He was appointed prince regent after the death of his father, and in 1279 B.C. was crowned pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, the third of the Nineteenth Dynasty, when he was about 25 years old. He ordered a massive program of construction of buildings, through which the temples of Abu Simbel, his funerary temple Ramesseum and the temple of his wife Nefertari were erected. Later, he founded a new capital for the Empire, the city of Pi Ramesses in the Nile River delta.
He led several battles to reassert Egyptian control over Nubia and Canaanite lands. During the Battle of Quadesh he bravely fought against the Hittites but did not achieve victory. As a result, a peace treaty between two foreign peoples was signed, probably the first of its kind.
His reign was marked by a period of relative peace and prosperity and he turned Egypt into a more powerful country than before he came to power. He's often associated with the biblical Pharaoh, however, there's no evidence to support this fact.

Useful Facts on Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the articular part of the hip joint with an artificial joint. The aim is to take away pain, restore function and preserve anatomy.
Over the last three centuries, treatment of hip arthritis has evolved from rudimentary surgery to modern total hip arthroplasty (THA), which is considered one of the most successful surgical interventions ever developed.
Anthony White (1782-1849) of the Westminster Hospital in London is credited with the first excision arthroplasty in 1821. This procedure ameliorated pain and preserved joint movement but joint instability was a problem resulting from the surgery.
John Rhea Barton (1794-1871) in Philadelphia is credited with performing the first osteotomy on an ankylosed hip in 1826.
Léopold Ollier's (1830-1900) work at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Lyon, France. In 1885, he described the interposition of adipose tissue in uninfected joints.
Berliner Professor Themistocles Glück (1853-1942) led the way in the development of hip implant fixation. In 1891, Glück produced an ivory ball and socket joint that he fixed to bone with nickel-plated screws.
Sir John Charnley (1911-1982) work at Wrightington Hospital. In November 1962 the Charnley hip replacement became practical reality and has become the gold standard for this form of treatment. Clinical and radiographic success of this procedure is now approaching 40 years of follow-up. Charnley's design consisted of two parts a metal (originally stainless steel)) a femoral component and a teflon acetabular component; both were fixed to the bone using bone cement (acrylic).
The current hip joint replacement prosthesis is composed of four major components:
- A metal socket that replaces the acetabulum;
- A liner with highly polished inner part representing the articular surface. (It is usually plastic, but other materials are also used such as ceramic or metal. The liner allows the hip to move smoothly.)
- A metal stem that is inserted in the femoral canal; and
- A metal or ceramic ball, which articulate with the liner.
There are two types of implants:
- Cemented hip replacement system, which was first described by Sir Charnley and is still currently used with some modifications and
- A biological non-cemented system, which depends on the body ingrowth or ongrowth on the metal surface.
The most common indication for THA is degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) of the hip joint. This type of arthritis is generally seen with aging, congenital abnormality of the hip joint, or prior trauma to the hip joint. Other conditions leading to total hip replacement include bony fractures of the femoral neck at the hip joint, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis (death of the femoral head) and developmental dysplasia of the hip.
There are no absolute contra-indications however, few relative contra-indications can be summarised including:
- skeletally immature patient,
- active sepsis or active infection in the joint.
Different approaches have been used to perform hip joint arthroplasty. To date there is no compelling evidence in literature for any particular approach, but consensus of professional opinion favours either the posterior approach or the modified anterio-lateral approach.
Over the last few years there has been a significant amount of debate over the minimal invasive surgery (MIS). The results of surgeries using this technique has not proven to be better than the standard approaches, in fact some studies show an inferior outcome of MIS compared to standard approach. The use of computer navigation in hip arthroplasty is another controversial subject since it hasn't shown any significant evidence of a better outcome than using standard approaches.
The common approaches to the hip joint for Hip Replacement are:
- The posterior approach accesses the joint through the back, taking the short external rotators off the femur. This approach gives excellent access to the acetabulum and preserves the hip abductors so the patient has less chance of a limp after surgery. Critics cite a higher dislocation rate, although repair of the capsule and the short external rotators negates this risk.
- The lateral approach is also commonly used for hip replacement. This approach requires elevation of the hip abductors (gluteus medius and minimus muscles) in order to access the joint. The abductors may be lifted up by osteotomy of the greater trochanter and reapplying it afterwards using wires. This approach has lesser chance of dislocation; but the patients are more likely to develop a limp after surgery, which might be permanent.
- The anterolateral approach develops the interval between the tensor fasciae latae and the gluteus medius. Recently the anterior approach utilises an interval between the Sartorius muscle and tensor fascia latae has become more popular especially with the use of a special table that allows hip extension. The advantage of this approach is a small incision and no cutting to any muscle; but it is more technically demanding and requires proper patient selection since it is very difficult to use this approach on obese or muscular patients.
I believe that the best approach is the one that the surgeon is more comfortable with as long as optimal visualisation of the joint anatomy is obtained using as minimal soft tissue dissection as possible with efficient time utilisation.
For almost 40 years, hip replacement surgery has been widely used and successful. It has brought about immediate substantial improvement to patients by reducing pain and improving the function and over-all health-related quality of life. Of the 600,000 total hip replacements performed each year throughout the world, approximately 90% will last 10 years or more. Revision surgery may be able to keep people on their feet for even longer. Over the past 20 years, complications have significantly declined due to the use of antibiotics and anticoagulants during and after surgery. Mechanical loosening has decreased due to improvements in prosthesis design and materials, prosthesis implantation, and other aspects of surgical technique.
Although the benefits of successful hip replacement surgery are great, you as the patient have a duty to care for your new artificial hip by avoiding movements that will stress or damage its components. It is particularly important to avoid prohibited positions of the leg and to treat infections that cannot be avoided. If this care is taken, your efforts should be rewarded for years to come.

There I was in Goodwill, crawling through the housewares when I paused to check an alert on my phone. A friend's photo popped up- of a gorgeous sunset on the beach- and when I went back to thrift shelf scanning, there it was. An older spice rack that someone else had painted purple, using it to house her button collection. But with the beach photo still burning a hole in my mind and the spice rack in front of me, I suddenly realized that that the two would work swimmingly together- as a beach sand collection display!Read more ›

Having passed away at the age of 80 last week, Michael Graves was one of the most prominent architects of the late 20th century, yet he is probably most recognized for the teakettle he designed in the early 1980's.
This kettle with the bird that sings when the water has boiled has been sold successfully for the last 30 years. Considered whimsical, yet beautifully functional, it is an example of how great design withstands the test of time.
Our Michael Graves kettle has sat on the stovetop, in various homes, every day for 29 years. It has boiled countless rounds of water. Never failing, no parts to break, a nice wide bottom for quickly heating, as well as perfect balance when pouring. The only design modification over the years has been to change the material at the top of the lid from metal to plastic so one can't burn their fingers if touched when hot.
The kettle references the Art Deco style, yet is simplified so it can comfortably sit in a traditional, transitional or modern kitchen. The amusing wavy blue handle fits the hand perfectly. And the cheerful red bird makes me smile, even when it's not singing.
Design is meant to be functional and enhance one's life. I can say that this kettle does that in its small beautifully practical way, every day.

Hey all~
We had the most beautiful weekend! After settling in on Thursday afternoon we headed to the National Zoo.
Apart from the warming temperatures and budding flowers spring was in the air in the form of new birth. Look at the adventurous baby gorilla. Up the rope...
...and sliding back down.
First of many cherry blossoms spotted in the zoo:
After leaving the zoo we were quite hungry but didn't have any place in mind for dinner. We walked along the main street towards the Metro and scanned the menus in passing and opted for Lebanese Taverna Cafe. I opted for the hommos bar-spicy hommos, falafel, and veggies for dipping. Fresh pita bread, both whole grain and white, were continually brought to the table. My mom and sister also ended up ordering from the hommos bar. I was afraid we would have hummus overload (I say hummus they say hommos), but unlike NYC hummus restaurants the servings were actually perfect for one person.
I still had room in my tummy so we all spilt an order of Lebanese doughnuts with warm pudding and vanilla-honey cardamom/chocolate ice cream.
Day 2 to come...

Rainbow boas (Epicrates Cenchria) are one of the most popular snakes to house. To be more specific, the Brazilian rainbow boa (E.C. Cenchria) and Columbian rainbow boa (E.C. Mauro's) are the most commonly imported of the five subspecies.
The other three include:
- Paraguayan (E.C. Crassus)
- Coating (E.C. Assisi)
- Argentine (E.C. Alexei).
These snakes are most commonly found in South America and lower Central America. If you want to see a wild Boa, drainage areas and rivers (especially the Amazon River) are their typical hiding spots. Look in areas with high humid conditions.
The coloring and rainbow reflection their scales give off make these snakes highly sought after. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, they were constantly imported. Because of their popularity, along with the continuous destruction of the rainforest, the rainbow boa population is dwindling.
Rainbow Boa Lifespan & Size
The average adult rainbow boa grows to be roughly five to seven feet long and weigh around nine pounds. Male boas will average five and a half to six feet long while a female can grow up to six to seven feet long. Adult rainbow boas are considered medium size snakes. when first born, baby boas are roughly 8-12" long (20-30cm).
The average life expectancy for these reptiles can be around 20 years or more. With proper care, these snakes can be a long-time pet. There have been reports of female boas reproducing at the age of 24 years.
Behavior & Characteristics
The most standout characteristic of the rainbow boa is what makes their name. When light shines on these snakes, they give off a beautiful rainbow hue. This is because their scales are filled with tiny ridges that reflect the light. A fluorescent light with low wattage will display the rainbow effect of the snake.
The most common colors of rainbow boas are between a dark red and bright orange range. Some may also have a brown or yellow hue. Also, on the head of the boa, you will see three black parallel lines. Continuing down their soft skin are black spots and crescent shapes. This look adds to the beautiful coloring and effect of the snake.
Lastly, rainbow boas are nocturnal reptiles that are relatively relaxed with excellent temperaments. Also, with proper care and regular handling, they will become good pets. Be mindful when handling a baby boa though. These little ones can be a bit nippy. However, the strike will startle you more than hurt. Try not to react by dropping the boa as they will think a bite means down. With regular interaction, baby rainbow boas will quickly learn to calm down.
Sex Identification
Trying to tell the sex of a boa can be a bit tricky. The most harmless way to tell is by palpation. Therefore, to do this, hold the tail of the snake as you gently press down between the Cloaca and the tip of the tail. If you feel a couple little bumps as you move your finger up and down the body, your boa is male. While a female boa won't have the little bumps.
Rainbow Boa Nutrition
Feeding your boa is pretty simple. Adult boas need to be fed only once every week or two. Anything more could lead to obesity. Mice and rats are your best feeding options.
Because they are growing, baby boas need to be fed more often, Once a week is fine. Pinky rats and hopper mice are common items to feed baby boas.
Wild boas tend to go after small mammals and birds. Some have been known to hunt small lizards. But an all rodent diet is perfectly suitable for a caged boa.
Because these snakes are nocturnal, it is best to feed them at night. Try to feed either freshly killed or frozen rodents (thaw the rodent first to avoid shocking the digestive system of the snake). Also, move the food around to stimulate the snake's interest if they are not eating. Be cautious with feeding live rodents as their teeth can injure your snake.
Key points to remember when feeding:
- Have food that is no bigger than 1-1.5x the largest part of the snake's body;
- Never leave live feed in the cage at night and unattended;
- Do not handle your snake for at least 24-48 hours after feeding;
- Always have a large container of clean water for drinking and soaking in.
With proper care, your boa will live a long and healthy life. But there's always a chance something could go wrong.
Symptoms of health issues:
- Your boa sheds in pieces or doesn't fully shed (baby boas shed every 3 – 6 weeks, adult boas shed less);
- Scales are dry and wrinkly looking;
- Denting in the eyes;
These symptoms are common for dehydration. If you notice these, check your humidity level to make sure it hasn't dropped. The most common causes of death in caged boas are dehydration and overheating.
Rainbow Boa Care
How you house your rainbow boa is the key to success. Provide a large enough container to include a water bowl and somewhere for them to hide. A container minimum 4 – 6 ft. ² (0.4-0.5m ²) is sufficient.
Also for your boa to thrive, provide a layer of peat moss or mulch. Even paper towels and newspapers will work, although they'll need changing over time. Make sure there is a hiding area provided by something like a log.
The humidity and temperature of the cage are the most important part of their care. The ideal temperature should be between 75-83F (23-28°C) with the surrounding humidity level around 70%. Whatever you layer your cage with should also be damp to help sustain the moisture level.
Invest in a proportional thermostat to help regulate the temperature. Avoid ventilation within the cage which can take away the humidity. Provide a heat lamp or thermal heat for the cage.
When it's time to clean the cage, warm soapy water will do. Also, you should try to avoid chemicals which can be harmful to the snake. A simple weekly clean, followed with a full clean every other week will do.
A key point to remember:
avoid having multiple snakes in one cage. The only time you want more than one boa in a cage at a time is during breeding. Always keep your boas separate when feeding.
The breeding process for boas is slow, so be patient. These snakes reach sexual maturity between the ages of two and four. Therefore, the best way to determine is by length. Males should be around four feet long and females around four and a half feet long.
The best time to start the breeding process is around November when the days are shorter. Gradually drop the evening temperature over the course of a month or so. By mid-December, the night temperature should hover around 60F (16°C). Leave the temperature here for about three weeks before slowly raising the temperature back to normal through the same pattern.
Watch for these common signs your snakes are ready for breeding:
- Male boa: they will start to go off feed and will leave their shed in their water dish.
- Female boa: noticeable swelling will occur as their ovaries fill with follicles. They'll will also seek out cool areas of their cage.
At this point, introduce the pair into the same cage to begin the "chase." The female boa leads the male boa on a chase before they finally intertwine with their tails. This is the copulation stage.
Lastly, Watch for signs of ignoring food and seeking out warmer areas of her cage. This is her way of saying she is pregnant. The gestation period lasts for about five months. She will then have a post-ovulation shed. expect to have baby rainbow boas roughly 110 to 115 days later. Little sizes average between 12 and 24 babies.

Spinning and Weaving
Spinning and weaving are extremely intricate operations.
Prior to spinning the long fibre is combed with the help of hackling machines to produce fine and slightly curled plaits, called rove.
The rove after being kiered, bleached and dyed is ready for spinning.
Currently there are two spinning methods applied - wet and dry spinning. In wet spinning the rove is treated with warm and hot water to dissolve pectin substances and drawn by means of special devices to split thick fibres into elementary strands and produce uniform, fine and durable yarn. The yarn so produced is then spooled and dried and used for making threads or linen cloth.
In dry weaving no pectin dissolution occurs and thick fibres only become realigned against each other on drawing. As a result, the yarn appears to be coarser and less durable and primarily finds application in the manufacture of technical cloths.
Weaving is the process of making cloth. The cloth is made on a loom by using two sets of threads running perpendicular to each other and getting interwoven as the loom works. The threads running lengthwise are called warp threads, those running crosswise are called weft threads. The edge of the cloth is made of twist yarn.
Where cotton yarn is added, the linen cloth is referred to as semi-linen.
Linen cloth is differentiated by its application and texture as:
Table damask (tablecloths and napkins);
Linen cloth is manufactured in unbleached, semi-bleached, bleached and dyed varieties. Used in combination with Dacron, it greatly enhances its properties.

The Building and Probing Small international symposium is organised in the prestigious rooms and gallery of the Palace of the Academies in Brussels on March 25-27 2019.
It is organised by Anne-Sophie Duwez (University of Liège, Belgium) and Xavier Bouju (CEMES-CNRS, Toulouse, France), within the framework of the MEMO project of the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme FET Open and the NanoWal network. MEMO, for Mechanics with Molecules, deals with the construction of single-molecule machines, study of their operation and measurement of the force they produce.
This first symposium will concern the design and synthesis of molecular machines and functional molecules, as well as their characterisation by single-molecule force spectroscopy techniques. We are looking forward to this symposium to cover single-molecule AFM approaches for supramolecular chemistry and biology. We expect that the meeting brings together an outstanding yet diverse group of chemists and biophysicists.
The symposium will will include invited plenary lectures, keynote lectures, short communications selected from submitted abstracts and a poster session.

Identifying Pest Infestations in Your Home
May 10th, 2017
Pests in your home can range from mildly annoying to downright destructive, and Champion Termite & Pest Control knows that quick identification and removal are the keys to avoiding sticky situations. Learn about ways to identify pest infestations, call up the pros if you notice any problems, and always take safety precautions when dealing with unidentified pests. With many years of experience dealing with insects and pests of all kinds, Champion Termite & Pest Control can deal with anything Mother Nature throws your way.
Typical signs of infestations include unusual noises, droppings, nests, damage to your yard or home, or sightings of the pests themselves. Learning to distinguish between signs of different pests can aid in getting the right pest control measures done quickly and effectively.
Most people can identify wasps' nests, and it is better to be rid of them sooner than later. Depending on the location of the nest and potential allergies, removal can be dangerous.
Termites are a particularly destructive pest that can be identified by their frass (droppings), mud tubes on exterior walls, swarms of winged insects in or around your home, and hollow-sounding wood that results from termite damage.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of, and they are often detected when they are spotted in or near bedding. Bed bug bites can manifest as irritating or painful rashes and should be medically investigated.
There are many different species of ants that can make their way into your home, and long trains of busy ants can often be found marching to and from a food source. Removing that food source and keeping things clean can often help prevent infestations, but if the problem is large, call in the pest control professionals to tackle the situation.
If you find yourself in the middle of a pest control disaster, call Champion Termite & Pest Control to get things under control.

PROVO, Utah – 24 hours after earning its first sweep at Smith Fieldhouse in over 20 years, the No. 14 UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team was the victim of a galvanized No. 6 Brigham Young squad, which responded with a sweep of its own on Saturday night. Set scores were 25-23, 25-19, 25-20.
The offense for BYU (6-4) was red hot all night, hitting .444 overall. The Cougars' Gabi Garcia Fernandez led all players by a wide margin with 18 kills and also hit a robust .517. Other key contributors included Andrew Lincoln (nine kills on 11 swings), Brenden Sander (10 kills, four blocks), and Leo Durkin (41 assists).
UCSB (4-4) meanwhile was led by sophomore opposite Keenan Sanders' 10 kills, but all three of the Gauchos' starting pin hitters were held under .200 hitting.
The best chance for the away team came in the first set, as UCSB hit .357 as a team with a trio of hitters recording their best games of the night (Roy McFarland had five of his six kills in the first while Sanders and Corey Chavers chipped in four apiece). The Gauchos shook off an early 9-5 deficit to make it a dogfight down the stretch, producing 18 ties and six lead changes. UCSB led as late as 22-20, but BYU – which hit .600 in the frame – responded with a 5-1 run to clinch the opener.
Behind five kills from Garcia Fernandez, BYU led for the entirety of the middle set to go up 2-0.
Strong team serving and seven further kills from Garcia Fernandez helped BYU close out the sweep in the third, as the Cougars were able to rack up 6.5 blocks while frustrating the Gauchos to a .138 hitting percentage. Despite the disparity in the numbers, UCSB remained close to BYU on the scoreboard until the very end, holding a tie as late as 19-19, but the home team wrapped up the match with a 6-1 run.
UCSB will be off for the next two weeks, returning to action on Wednesday, Feb. 21 with a contest against Pepperdine at Rob Gym. The Gauchos' 46-day stretch between home games is the longest of the Rick McLaughlin era (since 2009).

Rapper Quay Dash's New Track Is A Trans Power Anthem
"I look bad but you look worse / fix your life before you get cursed"
Last year, we named rapper Quay Dash one of our female hip hoppers to look out for. Now, our girl is dropping some new fire on her latest track, "Wilin'," released by Escape From Nature label head Orlando Volcano and cybernetic club producer Celestial Trax.
The new song is part of Thru Our Eyes - Pt. 1, a much-anticipated four-track compilation. Dash talked to The FADER about the new release, saying: "When I wrote the lyrics to 'Wilin',' I wasn't giving a damn about what I said and whose feelings it may hurt ... As a Black transgender woman of a oppression, people tend to be wilin' on me everyday with zero fucks. So this track is a big f*ck you to transphobia."
With spooky dark-rap crystalline synths and a bassy club beat, Quay spits pure venom on the empowering anthem:[/embed_code_other]
Quay Dash is part of the C*nt Mafia crew. Check out their tracks over on their Soundcloud pages.

Get to know a little more about me!
My name is Emily and I am a runner, an ultra-runner in fact, a mother and wife, a natural resource conservationist and an all around passionate lady. I chase my dreams, lots of dreams, with the love and support of my amazing husband (also an ultra-runner) and my two crazy and cool sons. Some days some would say I have it made. But there's more….I have Major Depression.
Depression is my chains. I have suffered from depression since I was a child. At times it has consumed me wholly, dictating my ability to do even the simplest tasks like washing my hair or buying groceries. While it struggles and fights to maintain control over me each and every day, no longer do I let it define me.
I found running almost 10 years ago and then trail and ultra running in 2014. Running has given me the strength to dominate my depression. It has taught me how to persevere in life when the going gets tough and how to rejoice in the simple beauty that makes it all worth living.
When on the trails and in nature, pushing your body to the limits, getting dirty, the delicate part of your brain that says "You are not enough" quiets down. The wonder of the world around you and the strength of your physical self serve to strength your delicate self. You gain the strength to embrace your delicate self, knowing that owning it and loving it as part of you will not hold you back.
I am a woman and a warrior and will not be held back from my dreams.

Hard work and hard hatsArticlesPosted by duncan 01 Feb, 2016 08:45:08
This year the Duke of Edinburgh students are having their sessions on the Saturday afternoons, separate from the normal weekend work parties. This means that some of the usual volunteers help out at these sessions as well.
The first session was a bit "wet" but everyone got stuck in and enjoyed it.
The second was drier and sunny, and the task was to help clear the stream from the car park pond, that would eventually flow to Abberton reservoir. As the session is only for 3 hours that would have been a bit ambitious! But after splitting into teams, each section was cleared of the banks of bramble, reeds and overhanging branches, along with removing any debris from the stream.
No-one fell in!
Posted by Joan 01 Feb, 2016 10:31:40
7 youngsters worked very hard to clear the stream, following the excellent example of the adults with them. We've already had appreciative comments from walkers, so a big thank you from me as well.

Thoracic reconstruction of exposed lung by contralateral pectoralis major muscle flap
Chest wall defects are defined as defects with variable loss of skin, muscles, and rib cage with exposed pleura or lung. The exposed lung is a life-threatening emergency and requires urgent intervention to restore airtight closure. We use contralateral pectoralis major muscle turnover flap to obliterate dead space and airtight closure for full thickness right-sided chest wall injury with exposed lungs.

Local 83711 is CWA STRONG
IUE-CWA Local 83711 in Gadsden, Ala., represents workers at Inteva Products, a global automotive supplier. The members of Local 83711 have been working hard on their internal organizing over the past year to make IUE-CWA STRONG.
The local has created a mobilizing committee to get out and talk directly to members about why it's important to be a member and to be active in the union. The committee has made great strides in getting more members engaged. Through regular conversations with members and non-members alike, local activists have signed up more than 30 new members and developed new member activists now taking the union message of power and solidarity to their coworkers.
The local's organizing efforts have not gone unnoticed. As the union has grown stronger at the company, previously rigid and standoffish management has taken a more respectful and open approach to its relationship with the union. The company is now allowing regularly scheduled staff visits into the plant, and the committee has been able to have one-on-one conversations with more than one-third of the members.
Local 83711 President Lisa Carroll has identified several new leaders in the plant who are effectively moving the campaign forward and building stronger relationships with their coworkers. "It's hard work, but in the long run it pays off, because we are able to get more members involved," Carroll says.
Local 83711 is a great example of the dividends that come from fighting to build power at work, and they are continuing their hard work to make IUE-CWA STRONG.

The Entity Awakes!
DJ misterentropy, one of the Kinetic regulars, is branching off to do his own weekday night that's oriented more for listening, hanging out, and drinkin' than for tearing up the dance floor. It kicks off Thursday May 28th — tomorrow! — at Underground Lounge. Here are the details:
I've been toying around with the idea of a club night that wasn't such a slave to the dance floor. entity isn't going to be all about experimental, ambient noise, or noodly idm tracks; but then again, it won't be out of the question to hear such things during the course of the night. and there will be dance songs, just not of the oontz, oontz, stomp, stomp variety. as for the entity name and concept, it's the coming of age tale of something that lives and grows in the bowels of the city and has strange people playing it odd music and teaching it about the world. this thursday is the trial run.
Thursday May 28th
@Underground Lounge, 952 W. Newport
9pm-2am, $3 cover, 21+ w/ID

Roy S. Hubbard, Jr.
Sr. Marketing Manager, Technology
HVAC Systems, Building Efficiency
Johnson Controls, Inc.
York, Pennsylvania
For over 3 decades, Mr. Hubbard has been part of Johnson Controls Building Efficiency Business (formerly YORK), which provides commercial, industrial and institutional air conditioning systems, controls and service. He is a noted expert on energy and energy calculations and has authored numerous articles on energy topics for publications that include ASHRAE JOURNAL, AIPE FACILITIES, ENGINEERED SYSTEMS, HEATING PIPING and AIR CONDITIONING, The AIR CONDITIONING HEATING and REFRIGERATION NEWS, and PLANT ENGINEERING to name a few. His comments and opinions are sought frequently by editors of these and other leading, building-industry publications.
Based in York, Pa., Mr. Hubbard travels extensively to present customer seminars and speak before industry and professional groups. He has prepared white papers and presented them to the International District Energy Association (IDEA) in 1997 on Chiller-Plant Energy Performance, in 1998 on Low-Flow Condenser Systems, and again in 1999 on Application of ARI Standard 550/590-98 in Multiple Chiller Plants. He is a member of ASHRAE, IDEA and AHRI (Air Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration Institute). He is a voting member of ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1 committee since 2010. For 10 years, he lectured on chiller system energy at the University of Wisconsin's Chilled Water Plant Course. In 2002, he represented Johnson Controls (YORK) on the History Channel's production of "Modern Marvels – Fire and Ice."
In his current position, created in 1997, Hubbard is responsible for bringing the company's water chiller solutions to the global market, and for advocating advanced practices in energy-efficient chiller plant design. From 1992 to 1996 he was marketing manager for JCI's (YORK's) Global Chiller Conversion and Retrofit Business as well as the company's Multistage Compressor and Chiller Systems Businesses.
Between 1988 and 1992, Hubbard was the Zone Sales Manager for Georgia. During this time he developed a proprietary software program — YorkCalc — that calculates the cost of operating different chiller plants, and allows comparisons among systems and fuel sources. He is the architect of the current Windows-based version of the program used globally by JCI's sales forces and customers.
Hubbard had focused on chiller system energy and life cycle cost of operating a chiller system in the Healthcare vertical market as JCI's Hospital Segment Manager from 1985 to 1988. In this position, he was responsible for focusing on the healthcare market in North America and insuring that JCI's (YORK's) products and services met with the requirements of this energy intensive customer base.
Hubbard originally joined Johnson Controls (YORK) in 1980 as a Sales Engineer in New York City, a position he held through 1984. He was named sales "Rookie of the Year" in 1981 and achieved status as one of the "Top 10″ Salesmen in North America in his first year of selling. Hubbard received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1974 and completed five years of military service before joining Johnson Controls (YORK).
