DVD Programme 4: Interviewing and Thematic Analysis
Section 4: Interview: Chloe
COMMENTARY: Chloe is a white British woman. She is fifty years old and has had a career as an academic but is currently retraining to be a therapist. She was married and divorced in her twenties. She and her current partner plan to marry later this year. She has no children.
Interview with Chloe
HELEN LUCEY:So we've already spoken on the telephone about what the research was about, but just to tell you again that the focus of the interview and the focus of the research that we're doing is about early relationships and how they have kind of shaped us and how they shape relationships with people when we're adults. It's also important to tell you that you, if you want to withdraw from the research at any time, then that's fine. So you've got the right to withdraw your consent at any time during the interview or even afterwards. So if you change your mind about taking part, you can give me a call and the data will be destroyed, or sent back to you, whichever you would prefer. So just wanted to say that.
Can you tell me something about your early relationships when you were a child and how you think those relationships have influenced you later on?
CHLOE:I don't remember from when I was very little, I remember mostly from, from when my father left. He left when I was about eight, and that's when I sort of … that's what I sort of link things back to the most I suppose, to that sort of period of time. My mother was very, very sort of affected by that. She changed a lot when, when he left. And I remember her being sort of quite sort of larking about and playing, quite, quite a playful person. And then when he left she just became really, really down and very, very needy. And I think I sort of, I tried to fill that gap somehow, and, umm fill in for my dad and sort of be, be a grown-up. I sort of did the garden and washed the car and you know, if a plug needed fixing, I would sort of fix the plug, and so I sort of took on that "I'm a strong and helpful person" role, and so I wasn't sort of being little any more, which was quite weird. And she was, she was very depressed and very sad and … and just very sort of needy and there wasn't really sort of much room for me, it was … it felt as if everything was, was to do with what she needed, and she needed quite a lot and she got, she got down a lot. And she wasn't, she wasn't … she wasn't very good at … like if I was sad, she would be, pfff, you know, very dismissive about it, what have you got to be sad about? and, so you're not really allowed to be sad. And if I was very cheery about something it was like: oh, well it's all right for you, you can be really … do you know what I mean? So you've got … you sort of lose both ways and I think, I think that had a strong effect on lots of things. She was very limited in what she could express and what she couldn't, and the way in ways in which she could express things, but I know she loved me. And she had a hard time. I mean she was … I think her Mum died when she was about four and she'd, you know, that must have had a, you know, again, you know, you sort of see things, how my Mum was with me and the the repercussions that that had and, and then you look at somebody else's history, and you think well, you know, that must have had something for them as well, you know, and she's, she was sort of like really well developed in some areas and other things … didn't have a clue. She couldn't sort of take on how anybody else felt, it was very much, you know, a bit of a drama queen really, you know, it's all to do with, with her feelings and you've got to sort of limit everything around that because that's the thing that's of importance to her, and as a child growing up that's what you learn.
HELEN LUCEY: Can you tell me about your relationship with your dad and how...

text: Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to create two instances in Sugar - Archive and Active. we are going to have an integration between hubspot and Sugar and do not want to lose all the leads/ contacts in Sugar. It would be great if we can archive all unncessary contacts and keep the important one as active.

Another year gone and past…
2017 was certainly a wild ride for eThink – in the best way! With rapid international growth, expansion of our solution set to include the corporate-specific Totara LMS, and attending many conferences across the globe, our team has had plenty to keep us busy this year. Join us as we reflect on some of the highlights from 2017 and look forward to the New Year!
2017 eThink Highlights
eThink Becomes a Totara Partner
In August of this year, eThink became a certified Totara Partner, in addition to maintaining our much-loved Moodle partnership. Totara is an open-source LMS focused specifically toward corporate user needs with over 8.5 million users worldwide. As the professional education market is our fastest growing segment, we view the addition of Totara to our product base as another important step in ensuring we offer a best-of-breed solution to any customer that comes to us seeking services!
Read more about our Totara partnership here.
International Expansion
In 2017, eThink continued our rapid growth with overseas expansion. eThink – already a Certified Moodle Partner in the U.S. – became a Moodle Partner in Canada, Nigeria, and the Caribbean. eThink also became an official Totara Partner in North America, Africa, and the Middle East.
This year, eThink gained new clients from various places across the globe including Canada, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Cayman Islands.
New Clients
Although eThink still specializes in providing a fully-managed and fully-integrated Moodle solution in Higher Education, the corporate learning space has become the fastest growing segment of our business. The flexibility offered by Moodle/Totara in conjunction with the service-heavy model provided by eThink is ideal for companies and government agencies looking to use a LMS to onboard new employees, provide professional development, and even train external users such as clients. Some of our new clients in this space include Guaranteed Rate, Liberty Mutual, and multiple state and local government agencies.
eThink Team Retreat, Mission Statement & Values
In the midst of our conference season this fall, we were able to get the entire eThink team together in Vegas for a company retreat! We were able to enjoy all being together in one place with some team-bonding activities as well as productive discussions on where we are headed as a company and the best way to get there!
During this time, we sat down and devoted time to redefining our values as well as developing an updated mission statement that will be used as a guideline for every decision we make and influence the company and our culture moving forward. Check it out below!
Mission Statement:
Extraordinary is our ordinary. Every day we are purposefully different, intentionally transparent, and obsessed with customer success!
- Clients as Partners – We are more than just an LMS provider, we are your partner in eLearning.
- Problem Solvers – With a team of the best and brightest, eThink brings a wealth of talents, skills, and knowledge to the table to effectively solve the challenges our clients face.
- High-Touch, High-Quality Support – From implementation to continued support, eThink is consistently attentive, prompt, and thorough. Simply, we are always there when you need us.
- Community/Family – Team and clients, we are one big happy eThink family. We understand the importance of working together to achieve our goals.
- Open Communication & Transparency – eThink cultivates strong relationships with our clients and team members through open lines of communication, honest feedback, and collaboration.
Some Fun Facts – By The Numbers
In 2017, we…
- Hosted 43 webinars, averaging 3+ webinars a month
- Had a total of 7,008 registrants join us for an eThink webinar
- Attended 12 eLearning/EdTech conferences

It was with stronger forebodings than he dared acknowledge even
to himself, that Professor Featherwit watched the two young men
out of sight in the early gloom, and scarcely had his nephew
passed beyond hearing than uncle Phaeton would gladly have
recalled Bruno.
Waldo made light of all fears, prophesying complete success, and
even going so far as to predict Bruno's return accompanied by the
Children of the Sun; enthusiastic words which set the exile to
trembling with excess of joy and anticipation.
What, then, was the blank dismay of all when, floating through
the night, came the hollow throbbing of yonder mighty war-drum,
fetching each person to his feet and holding him spellbound for
the first few seconds.
Cooper Edgecombe turned sick at heart, even while ignorant as to
the method of sending forth that alarm, his hollow groan being
the first sound to follow the simultaneous exclamation which
burst from three pairs of lips as the surprise came. And but a
breath later Waldo broke forth with the excited query:
"What is it? What's broken loose now? Surely--thunder?"
Only Professor Phaeton at once recognised the sound, through
description, and each one of those swiftly succeeding strokes
seemed falling upon his heart, bidding him mourn for his beloved
nephew, upon whom his aged eyes had surely looked their last in
this life!
Yet it was the professor who took prompt action, speaking sharply
as he darted across to where the air-ship rested:
"Come; get aboard, and let us do what lies in our power. It was
criminal to send the poor lad into the jaws of death, but
now--hasten, there may be a chance, even yet!"
The call was still hot upon his lips when his two companions
entered the aerostat, gripping tight the hand-rail as Professor
Featherwit sent the vessel afloat with reckless haste. As by a
miracle they escaped disaster through rushing into a bushy
treetop, and that fact served to steady the aeronaut's nerves.
"On guard, uncle Phaeton!" cried Waldo, making a lucky snatch at
his cap, which one of the stiff boughs brushed off his head.
"Ay, ay, lad," responded the man at the guiding-gear, as the
air-ship shot onward and upward, now heading, as directly as was
practicable, for the Lost City of the Aztecs. "That was the very
lesson I needed. I am steady of nerve, now, and will show no
lack,--heaven grant that we may not be for ever too late,
"What do you reckon could have kicked up such a bobbery, uncle?
And what--ugh!" as the wardrum's throbbings again swelled forth
in grim alarm. "What in time is that, anyway?"
As briefly as might be, the professor explained, and almost for
the first time Waldo felt a thrill of dread.
"If they've got Bruno, what will they do with him?"
That very dread was worrying uncle Phaeton, and already through
his busy brain were flashing horrid pictures of punishment and
sacrifice, of hideous scenes of torture, wherein the eldest son
of his dead sister played a prominent role, perforce.
He dared not trust his tongue to make answer, just then, and sent
the aeromotor onward at top speed, leaning far forward to win the
earliest glimpse of--what?
He caught sight of blazing beacons fairly encircling the Lost
City, forming a cordon through which no stranger could hope to
pass unseen. He beheld hundreds of armed shapes rushing to and
fro, plainly looking for some intruder or other enemy, yet almost
as certainly failing as yet to make the longed-for discovery.
Not until that moment had uncle Phaeton dared indulge in even the
shadow of a hope. The awful alarm seemed proof conclusive that
poor Bruno had been taken, through the treachery of Ixtli.
Naturally enough, that was his first belief, but now, as the
air-ship slackened pace to circle more deliberately above the
valley, all eyes on the eager watch for either Bruno or something
to hint at his fate, Professor Featherwit lost a portion of that
If Bruno had indeed fallen victim to misplaced confidence, and
had been craftily lured into this den of ravening wild beasts,
why all this confusion and mad skurry? Why had not the traitor
first made sure of his victim? Why such a general alarm?
Although such haste in getting afloat had been made, some little
time had been thus consumed, and, before the aerostat was fairly
above the Lost City, Bruno and Ixtli had dropped by stages down
the shadowed side of the Temple of the Sun God, to burrow
underneath the ground as their surest method of eluding pursuit.
Only for that, the end might have been different, for, once
sighted, Gillespie would have been rescued by his friends, or
those friends would surely have shared death with him.
And so it came to pass that, circle though they might, calling
ears to supplement their eyes, swooping perilously low down in
their fierce eagerness to sight their imperilled one, never a
glimpse of the young man could they obtain, nor even a definite
hint as to where next to look for him.
"Surely they cannot have captured Bruno, as yet?" huskily
muttered uncle Phaeton, hungrily straining his eyes without
reward. "If the poor boy had actually fallen into such evil
hands, why such crazy confusion? Why--oh, why did I permit his
coaxings to overpower my better judgment? Why did I send him
The words stuck in his throat and refused to issue. Phaeton
Featherwit just then felt himself little less than a cold-blooded
Mr. Edgecombe was but little less deeply stirred, although his
feelings were more of a mixture. He grieved for Bruno, and would
willingly risk his life in hopes of doing the young man a
service, yet his gaze was drawn far more frequently towards
yonder temple, on the top of which he had--surely he HAD caught
sight of his wife, his daughter!
"Let me down and try to find him," he eagerly begged, as one
might plead for a great boon. "I promise to save him if yet
alive, and--let me try, professor; I beg of you, give me this
chance to show my heartfelt gratitude."
But Professor Featherwit shook his head in negation.
"That would only add to our trouble, friend. Knowing nothing of
the dialect, you would be wholly at a loss. And, looking so
entirely different in every respect, how could you hope to pass
"All seems so confused, that I might--surely it is worth trying."
"It would be suicidal, so say no more on that score," almost
harshly spoke the usually mild-mannered aeronaut, sending his
vessel upon another circuit, only with stern vigilance choking
back the appealing shout to his lost nephew.
This time the aerostat was brought directly above the Temple of
the Sun, where there appeared to be some unusual disturbance, a
number of armed guards fairly driving a gaily arrayed Indian down
to the lower levels, and that greatly against his inclinations,
judging from the harsh cries and ringing threats which burst from
his lips.
Recognising the building, and unable to hold his intense emotions
longer under stern control, Cooper Edgecombe called aloud the
names of his wife and daughter, begging that they might come to
him; but then the air-ship was sent onward and upward, with a
dizzying swoop, and Professor Featherwit gripped an arm, sternly
"Quiet, sir! Another outbreak like that and I'll lock your lips,
if I have to send a bullet through your mad brain!"
"I forgot. I could not wait longer, knowing that my loved
"You forgot that the lives of all depend upon our remaining at
liberty," coldly interrupted Featherwit. "Without this means of
conveyance, how can your loved ones escape? Now, your solemn
pledge to maintain utter silence, or I will take you back to
yonder wilderness, leaving you to shift for yourself as best you
can. Promise, sir!"
"I will,--I do. Forgive me, for I was carried away by--'twas
there I saw--after so many horrible years!" huskily muttered the
exile, fairly cowering there, before his saviour from the
"Enough; bear in mind that the rescue of your loved ones depend
on our efforts. If discovered by yonder snarling beasts, and the
machine is injured,--farewell, all hopes! Now, quiet, and look
for Bruno!"
Again the air-ship circled over the valley, in spite of the
moonlight passing wholly unseen and unsuspected by the Aztecs,
whose energies were bent on ferreting out mortal foes, not demons
of the upper world.
Waldo leaned farther over the hand-rail as they floated closer to
an excited group of warriors, the central figure being Lord Hua
himself, fiercely denouncing Aztotl and his son, Ixtli, as
traitors to the common welfare, and calling upon all honest
braves to mete forth befitting punishment.
Professor Featherwit caught one name indistinctly; that of the
young Aztec in whose company Bruno had set forth on his
ill-starred venture; and hoping to learn more of importance, he
caused the aerostat to hover directly above that particular group
of redskins.
Waldo, never stopping to count the risk he might thus fetch upon
them all, silently lowered the grapnel, by means of the
drag-rope, giving a boyish chuckle as the three-pronged hook
descended amidst that gathering, the sight causing more than one
superstitious brave to leap aside, with cries of amazed affright.
The air-ship gave a sudden swoop, and the grapnel caught Huatzin
by his girdle, jerking him fairly off his feet, and swinging him
into air, pretty much as a youngster might land a writhing fish.
But no fish ever sent forth so wild a screech of mingled rage and
terror as split the air just then.
Although hardly realising what was happening, Professor
Featherwit sent the aeromotor upward with a mighty jerk. The
shock proving too much for that sash, Lord Hua fell back to
earth, literally biting the dust, although he met with no bodily
harm beyond sundry bruises.
"Caught a sucker, and--I'll never do it again, uncle!" exploded
Waldo, as he swiftly hauled in his novel fish-line; but he had to
take a severe lecture from the professor before the subject was
finally dropped.
And, worse than all else, the air-demon was now the target for
both eyes and arrows, and, perforce, sailed swiftly away into the

Powerful drama about post-war mining family coming to The Civic
Play by Ray Castleton about mining family to show in Barnsley.
Yorkshire based theatre company present powerful drama about a post-war mining family.
Ray Castleton's powerful and engaging story of a post-war Yorkshire mining family, coming to terms with their changing world and a new Britain is coming to The Civic, Barnsley.
"ex-mining villages of Yorkshire have the chance to re-visit their past." The Reviews Hub
On Behalf Of The People is the second full-scale production by Yorkshire theatre company The Melting Shop: co-founded by playwright and performer Ray Castleton (Chicken Soup, Sheffield Theatres), and producer and actor David Chafer (national tour of The Damned United, Red Ladder Theatre Company).
Written by Sheffield-born Ray Castleton, this powerful play reveals the struggle that affected millions from mining communities in the face of enormous political and social change, in a family drama filled with warmth, humour and realism.
Set in a Yorkshire mining town, it follows George Mason, his wife Connie, their son - returning solider Tom - and Tom's fiancée Liz; from the immediate aftermath of the war to Coronation year, 1953. Tom Mason returns from the war to the arms of his grateful mother and fiancée – and to the bosom of the pit. George fights his own battles and an election. Connie mourns, loves and unites as Liz sees a new world brim-full of opportunity. In a new Britain, will their hopes and dreams be reconciled?
Playwright Ray Castleton says: "On Behalf of the People is based on extensive research about the people who lived in mining communities just after the war and how the aftermath of the war and the massive change – the election of the post war Labour government, nationalisation, the new health service and the development of social housing – impacted on their lives. I was keen to write a story about real people and how their lives and relationships changed; the audience reaction we received last year confirms that this story touches people with its authenticity and honesty."
The Melting Shop's powerful new play sheds light on how communities were affected by the end of the war, coal nationalisation and the huge period of social change which impacted on their lives, love, hopes and dreams. It was originally commissioned by the National Coal Mining Museum as part of its programme of activities marking 70 years since the nationalisation of the UK coal mining industry.
Last year it premiered to great acclaim at the National Coal Mining Museum and a short and highly successful run of community venues across Yorkshire and Derbyshire followed. The production now embarks on its first major tour, making 34 performances across 28 venues spanning regional theatres, community venues and ex-mining villages across Yorkshire, Derby and Derbyshire, including a stop in Barnsley.
On Behalf Of The People is directed by Charlie Kenber, former Resident Assistant Director at Sheffield Theatres. The cast includes Sheffield-based actor Ray Ashcroft (George Mason) best known for his long-running TV role in The Bill; Kate Wood (Connie) a well-known theatre performer with credits including a national tour of The Full Monty and Brassed Off at Derby Playhouse. Tom is played by Rotherham actor Danny Mellor whose work includes Undermined, his one-man play about the miner's strike, and Blister in association with Paines Plough. Doncaster's Lizzie Frain plays Liz, her credits include Mike Leigh's forthcoming film Peterloo.
On Behalf Of The People is on at The Civic, Barnsley on Friday 15 June at 7:30
Tickets are £12, £10 concession and £8 child.

I was sitting here reading some of my gardening notes from 2015. I made a lot of mistakes last year. Hopefully, the notes will help make this year's gardening more fruitful and with less work. One thing I like to try is planting seed from hybrid fruit and veggies.
March is a great time to start your vegetable and flower seeds indoors. You can use any container. Here is how I am doing mine.
I took the plastic lids off my storage boxes and filled it with seed starting soil. I moistened the soil and laid the seeds on top of the soil. I am getting a bumper crop. Keep them moist and in the sun. On warm days, they go on the porch. Tomatoes grow quickly. In May, they all go outside.
I am a do it myself person and made this method up. It works.
By bali from Summerhill, PA
After my garden is tilled, quite a few rocks get dug up. If they are about the size of a fist, I put one at each end of each row of seeds planted or in the middle of a hill of squash to mark the spot. They can easily be removed once the plants come up. I also make map of the garden on a piece of paper and note where I planted beans, onions, etc. in case I need to refer to it as the rocks don't indicate that. The rocks are handy, don't require pounding a stake into the ground, and stay where you put them.
By Judy from Valley City, ND
When I cut the root end off of scallions, I plant them in a pot on my porch and within a week or two, the tops have grown enough to use them. I do the same with any root vegetable and soon I have a free, healthy alternative to buying greens for salad, etc.
I do this each and every year for my tomatoes and peppers. When I am cutting/slicing my tomatoes and bell peppers, hot peppers, banana peppers, I slice them on a paper towel.
When you shop greenhouses in the spring, you may have noticed that some types of vegetables are rarely available as transplants; e.g. beets, peas, and carrots. That is because these types of vegetables grow best when sown directly into garden soil.
When planting your seed rows, plant a few onions on each end of the row so you can tell where the rows of slow germinating seeds are. By the time the onions are ready to pull, the seeds will have sprouted.
Grow vegetable seeds in smaller pots or a small garden plot. The seeds will grow better than being just scattered around a big plot. When you throw seeds in a wide space, there is little chance that you see the tiny plant growing.
I use my flower pots from last year that already have soil in them. When I transplant, I then use the pot for my summer flowers. Works great!
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I am a beginning gardener and I would like to grow veggies with my kids. I was wondering what seeds are easiest. Also, can I use seeds I already have in the house like a peach seed or apple seeds? Can I plant seeds I cut from cucumbers? Do I need to dry out the seeds first? I'm just curious what will grow and what won't?
Hardiness Zone: 9a
By michelle from Phoenix, AZ
Tomatos seeds are great, right from the tomato and into a hole in the ground.
You can cut up a potato that has started to root and plant that. It will grow into beautiful green leaves and after the season there will be baby potatoes under them.
Also, a great thing to do is to buy a bag of pinto beans and plant them all out in the garden. They grow bushels and bushels of green beans and you can eat them off the vine, they are so good.
I am sure that sweet potatoes are the same, they have such beautiful vines, they are related to the morning glory vine. Sweet potatoes are great detoxifiers for the body.
I dont have much luck with carrots for some reason.
Most seasons, I save seeds from when I eat tomatoes and throw them out in the garden. Whichever ones come up, when I see them and they are about two or three inces high I transplant them where I want them to be. I throw seeds of tomaotos to test the soil to...if they come up the soil is good, if they dont, it needs a little organic matter dug into it. I don't really mess with all that very much. I am partial tot he green beans from pinto beans and the tomatoes!
Michelle, here in the low desert, you can grow something during every season. I have snow peas bearing right now and lots of lettuce. I have some snow peas where I planted them last year, came up from some dropped. More and more people are growing their own food.
I have a gardening group on Yahoo, PhoenixGardenersExchange. If you would like to join, we have Master Gardeners in the group who are always willing to answer questions. Pat
Michelle, I love to try interesting things and I have planted and grown an unusual plant from a Mango seed. Yep, ate the Mango, cleaned the seed up a bit and stuck in a pot of potting soil. Took about a month and lo and behold up came a sprout. After it's developed its second set of leaves, pinch the entire top off (sorry, I hate to do that too) and soon it will begin to make more leaves and branch into a tree. It is an interesting plant, new leaves are purple which then turn green. I don't expect any Mango's but its different!
You know what great for kids and grows so easy is beans. Kids love to watch them grow and they sprout within a few days. You can even put them in a papertowel with a few seeds and wet the papertowel and stick in into a plastic baggie so the kids can see it happening.
Apple seeds, grapefruit, lemon, & lime (& avocado) have all grown for me. Just take the seeds - put between 2 layers of paper towel (moist) & put in a zip loc baggie. Wait for the sprouting (you'll see it!) then plant. Avocados of course you suspend over water with toothpicks. I'm a zone 6 so can't help much more than that. As missbes99 mentions, beans are a great thing to do. marg s.
Thanks everyone for the input keep the advice coming! We did plant a peach pit in the back yard and some apple seeds I guess I'm still in denial it will work. Time will tell.
I am curious why many people are suggesting to put in a wet paper towel and let spout first is that a better plan or can I just plant outside? We have had a lot of wet weather recently and it is perfect planting time!
Hybrid seeds don't do well. One time, I planted a canteloupe seed from a store bought, and wound up with a little tiny melon. The tiny melon was cute, but nothing more.
We have been growing heirloom tomatoes, and they keep coming back year after year. Bugs get to some of the tomatoes, so I just leave them on the garden ground, and the next year we have more tomato plants. Last season, I guestimated we had 200 to 300 heirloom tomato plants, and not enough room for them all to grow.
Radishes grow in about a month here, but children might not like their taste. I'm zone 5a.
I am a beginner vegetable gardener. Which seeds grow the fastest? Thanks!
By Trudy from in the woods, PA
http://urbanext ggies/radish.cfm
Radishes harvest very fast. Many are ready to harvest in less than a month. There are many, many different kinds of radishes, too. Some are all white, some are red in the middle and green on the outside, very pretty. There are even black radishes. They have different flavors. And you can eat the greens. Radish leaves taste pretty much like the radish, and are really good in a salad.
Leaf lettuces grow quickly, and there are hundreds of varieties. You can harvest a beautiful salad in a few weeks.
http://urbanext gies/lettuce.cfm
Growing your own veggies is very fulfilling, and not as hard as you might think. I hope you are very successful, and that you really enjoy yourself. Good luck!
I agree, radishes and lettuce are great choices. You can plant fast-growing crops every couple of weeks to give you a steady supply during the season. If you choose loose leaf or "cut and come again" varieties of lettuce you can snip off leaves as you want them, leaving the plant to grow more. Another option would be early peas, baby carrots, or some varieties of beetroot. Read the description to see if the variety is suitable to harvest early; packets should tell you the length of time till maturity as well. Potatoes actually grow really well in containers, so you could even try new potatoes!
For vegetables that take longer to start from seed, like tomatoes, you can buy them as plants in your local garden center. Have fun!
Once again this year I purchased my vegetable seed packets to start inside. Other years I started them with special starting soil, placed them in a sunny window and kept them watered. I always end up with spindly plants with weak stems. How do I get stronger plants?
Hardiness Zone: 6a
By MaggieGrace from PA
Is there a chance you're falling victim to "damping off"? It's where otherwise healthy seedlings suddenly become weak and die. It's caused by a fungus that attacks the plants. I've had this happen myself.
Over-damp soil and lack of airflow can lead to the problem. Try not to water the foliage when watering, and keep covers ventilated if you're using them. Making sure your seedlings are properly thinned out can help too. There are home-made sprays that use chamomile tea or hydrogen peroxide to help prevent the fungus, if you wanted to search for them. I've read a sprinking of cinnamon powder on the soil can work too. Good luck with your gardening!
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
When slicing tomatoes or peppers, I always slice them on a paper towel. Any and all seeds that fall onto the paper towel, I set aside for a couple of weeks and let dry out and then bury the entire paper towel in my flower bed and water as I water other plants in existing bed. Within a few days, seeds will sprout and voila! You have vegetable plants.
By Sharon from Florida
I wish I lived in Florida with your long growing season. Have you ever done this with pumpkins? After we carved our pumpkins, I took most of the seeds and roasted them but all the ones on the ground I picked up and placed in the soil. I don't know if they will come up or not. I hope so. (11/02/2006)
By Timmie
Sharon, thanks so much for telling us how to do this! So easy and simple! (11/05/2006)
By Jill
Thanks, I'll try that. (11/01/2007)
By Rebecca
Many thanks, Sharon, for this very handy tip. The price of vegetables is expensive so I will definitely give this a go. I am moving to a small flat soon. Would it be possible to grow these in pots? If so, when is the best time to sow? Also, how long do they take to grow? Once again, a wonderful idea by ThriftyFun members. (10/12/2009)

One of the most sought after curry in both Malaysian and Singapore is the fish head curry. Commonly found at many Indian eateries like "mamak", fish head curry is ordered as an additional dish to go with steamed white rice. Just like some dishes found in Malaysia and Singapore, this recipe has been adapted to the taste of the locals ever since it was introduced by the Indian migrants when they moved to the region. Thus, it is no surprise that fish head curry is not known in India.
But, why fish head?
It may be disturbing to know but the meat located at the jaws of red sea bream, below the gills and the back of the neck is sweet and delicate. It is where the layers of fine meat structure absorb the flavours of the curry or sauce that it is cooked in, hence making fish head much sought after when cooking curry. Therefore, it is no surprise that some* would only devour the fish head even though the whole fish is served in dishes like Cantonese steamed fish.
Due to its popularity, there is now a variety of fish head curries depending on the ethnic flavour profiles such as Nyonya fish head curry or Thai fish head curry. Although there is a great variety, the Indian fish head curry still remains my favourite. It is also known as the healthier version as it does not uses any coconut milk but yet is able to deliver the thick and luscious curry flavours. There are a few tips to making the perfect fish head curry and I have you covered.
Fish curry powder
Fresh fish curry powder mix is a must. The quality and composition of the curry powder will affect the taste. Look out for Malaysian or Singaporean made fish curry powder mixture. If you are located in any of these countries, fresh curry powder mixture can be bought at the wet market.
Type of fish
As mentioned, red sea bream is typically used in fish head curry. Other white fleshed fishes such as sea bass, gilt-head bream or talapia are also suitable for making this flavourful curry. In most western countries, fish heads are not readily available. It is not a problem to cook using a whole fish (cut into three parts). If there is still reluctance to cook the fish head, use fillets or cutlets as a replacement. The key importance is to use fresh fish and do not over cook it to prevent the flesh from becoming tough.)
Make fish head curry thick in consistency
Fish head curry must be thick in consistency. There is no two ways about it. There are two main steps which needs to be followed in order to obtain it. The first is to use rice. Having rice as an ingredient in curry may seemed unusual but the starch from the rice acts as a thickening agent. Secondly, the curry needs to be simmered until it reaches the desired thickness. Vegetables such as okras and aubergines are perfect for curries as they readily soak up the gravy.
These are the three main tips to guide you to whip up the perfect fish head curry similar to that found in most Indian eateries. It is simpler to prepare compared to other curries. This dish goes perfectly well with white rice and side dishes of banana leaf rice.

Steps to Prepare
Step 1 of 6
- 1 fish
- 1 1⁄2 tsp tamarind paste
- 100 ml water
Add 1.5 teaspoons of tamarind paste into a bowl filled with 100ml water. Mix well. Pour the tamarind solution onto the fish and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2 of 6
- 8 garlic clove(s)
- 3 shallot(s)
- 10 chilli peppers (dried)
- 50 g curry powder
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cm ginger
Blend garlic, shallot, ginger and dried chilies (soaked and deseeded). Set aside. Add water to curry powder and make into a paste.
Step 3 of 6
- 1 1⁄2 tbsp rice
In an empty wok heated at medium heat, toast rice until browned. Pound or blend toasted rice until fine. Set aside
Step 4 of 6
- 4 tbsp oil
- 1⁄2 tbsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 1 curry leaves stalk(s)
- 1 yellow onion(s)
- 700 ml water
Heat 4 tablespoons of oil at medium heat. Sauté onions until fragrant before adding curry leaves. Add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. Continue sautéing until mustard seeds begin to pop. Add the blended ingredients and curry powder paste. When oil begins to separate from the ingredients, add pounded toasted rice and water to the wok. Increase heat to the maximum.
Step 5 of 6
- 1 1⁄2 tsp tamarind paste
- 1 aubergine (Indian)
- 6 ladies' fingers
- 2 tomato(es)
- 1⁄2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
Once curry boils vigorously, add fish, aubergines, ladies' fingers and tomatoes. Reduce heat to the minimum and let it simmer until fish is cooked. It should take about 8 to 10 minutes if fish is around 1 kg. Remove fish from curry once it is cooked. Leave aside. Add the rest of the tamarind paste, salt and sugar. Continue simmering for the next 40 minutes or until curry thickens.
Step 6 of 6
Add fish head and the rest of the meat into curry. Increase the heat to allow it to boil. Once it boils, switch off the stove. Serve fish head curry with steamed white rice.

text: COPD Living With Print Living With GERD and COPD Having COPD increase your odds of developing GERD By Deborah Leader, RN Updated August 02, 2018 Medically reviewed by a board-certified physician Woman experiencing heartburn. BSIP/UIG/Getty Images More in COPD Living With Symptoms & Causes Diagnosis Treatment Support & Coping Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) is a common condition which affects approximately 20 percent of the population. Often referred to as acid reflux, GERD occurs when the contents of your stomach move in the wrong direction―up the esophagus instead of down toward the small intestine. Research shows that more than one-quarter of those with COPD also have GERD, making it more common in people with COPD than it is in people who don't have COPD. Women who had been diagnosed with COPD are more likely to have GERD than men. Being older increases your risk of developing GERD as well. Risk Factors for Developing GERD Smoking, the number one risk factor for COPD, is also a common risk factor for GERD. Other important risk factors include: ObesityPregnancyDrinking alcoholEating certain foods (fried, fatty, spicy, acidic, citrus, or chocolate-based food)Having certain medical conditions (a hiatal hernia, asthma, peptic ulcer, gastroparesis) Although more research is needed to determine why people with COPD have a higher risk of GERD, studies suggest that the severity of hyperinflation in the lungs and dyspnea (labored breathing) play a role. GERD also appears to be closely associated with COPD exacerbation. If you have GERD, you may even be at higher risk for hospitalization because your COPD suddenly gets worse. Additionally, severe GERD symptoms may cause more frequent episodes of exacerbation if you have COPD. Taking steps to reduce complications associated with GERD and prevent COPD exacerbation will help keep you out of the hospital. There is some good news: Studies suggest that having GERD does not worsen lung function or clinical outcomes in COPD. But, compared to those who are diagnosed with COPD alone, having poorly treated or unrecognized GERD certainly can negatively impact your quality of life if you live with both illnesses. Managing Both GERD and COPD Because GERD and COPD are two different conditions, it is important that your doctors treat both of them. Like with COPD, getting an accurate GERD diagnosis is the key to effective treatment. If you suspect that you have symptoms of GERD, make an appointment with your healthcare provider. Your doctor may be able to diagnose you based on your symptoms, or they may ask you to undergo additional testing. This may include an endoscopy to look down your throat, an X-ray of your upper digestive system, or an ambulatory acid (pH) probe, a thin tube your wear down your nose and into your throat and measures the amount of acid present. Treating GERD Treating GERD usually starts with lifestyle changes like smoking cessation and dietary modifications, which can also help treat COPD. If lifestyle changes alone aren't enough, medications such as antacids, promotility agents, histamine receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors may also be added to the treatment plan. As a last resort, should lifestyle changes and medication provide little relief from GERD symptoms, surgery may be able to provide some relief. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Located within the urban residential area of Croydon, this phased school development consisted of a major refurbishment contained largely within the footprint of the existing school buildings.
The development included hard and soft play areas and planting areas – both native and ornamental. Aiming to reinforce and enhance the limited bio-diversity of the existing landscape, the development sought to enhance the existing tree cover with additional native planting.
The soft landscape design strategy reinforces existing boundary trees and hedge lines with native trees and understorey shrub planting areas, ornamental flowering shrub with accent planting areas, and feature raised planters.

I am breaking from my tradition of a favorite picture from 1 year ago. This is Max and Babykitty in 1998. They slept together until Babykitty grew to big to cuddle up.
Its funny how Max continued to sleep on the floor throughout his life, rarely sleeping on furniture or beds. He loved to curl up in a box but it had to be on the floor. Babykitty is just the opposite. He prefers to sleep up on beds, sofas, chairs, Daryls pillow. (Daryl HATES this..."why does he always sleep on MY pillow!!")
Max was given to me by one of my first patients. Originally, his name was Maggie. But, as he grew we figured out that Maggie was a Max.
It didnt take long for us to realize Max hated kitty litter. He would only use the litter box if it had NO kitty litter. After he was big enough to jump in the bathtub, this is where is went. He peed straight down the drain, and pooed next to the drain. We always knew when he was finished, he would paw the sides of the bathtub. Honestly, it was easier than cleaning the cat litter for Babykitty.
Thank you, Max. Miss you.

The Guardian reports that former employees of Thorn have stopped Nomura from taking the £100m surplus from their pension scheme.
Nomura purchased the Thorn TV rental business in 1998 and, along with the business, acquired the company £1bn pension fund. Nomura had hoped to take half of the £100m surplus for itself, with the remaining £50m going to pay enhanced benefits for pensioners. These plans have now been put on ice after Thorn pensioners kicked up a stink and took the matter up with pension watch-dog Opra.
The case was due to be settled at a hearing in February, but Nomura has now walked away from the fight, claiming that the trustees will 'hold on to the surplus for the moment.' Nomura always claimed that it were entitled to dispose of the surplus as it saw fit, but pensioners were angry that their fund was to be 'raped' as no company contributions had been made for around 10 years.

In the past three weeks, I have sensed opposition from Satan. Whenever God's people have a mind to serve God with all their mind, soul and body, the Devil gets angry. That anger turns into an all-out assault by Satan on God's children.
Ephesians 6:18 says "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" We as children of God need to be praying not only for ourselves, but for others. As the Pastor of this wonderful church body, I am charged in Acts 20:28 to "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." I do not take this verse lightly. Whenever we as a church make the commitment to be students of God's Word, you can be sure the Devil will fight.
So according to God's Word, I am to counter this assault of Satan by praying for the members of this flock - Matt. 6:13; by being an encourager to you as I preach and teach - Heb. 3:13; and through rebuke - II Tim. 4:2. To rebuke means calling out sin in people's lives and pleading for them to turn from it. The goal of rebuke is restoration and the motive is love.

In Planet Word, a five-part series on language for BBC Two, Stephen Fry dissects language in all its guises with his inimitable mixture of learning, love of lexicon and humour.
From the cutting-edge of linguistic research to the glories of world literature, Stephen analyses how we use and abuse language, corral it for good and bad, and seeks out whether we are anywhere near to beginning to understand the complexities of its DNA.
Commenting on the series, Mark Bell, the BBC's Arts Commissioning Editor, said: "Language is what sets humans apart from other species. Planet Word explores our linguistic achievements and how these skills developed. Human dictionary Stephen Fry is the ideal guide for the journey of how we came to be so verbal."
Spanning locations across the globe including Hong Kong, Sydney, Israel, Kenya, Tanzania, Malaysia and Japan, Planet Word journeys through the thousands of years since man first mastered speech to the cyber world of today with its html, codes and texting.
Planet Word is a Sprout Pictures production commissioned by Mark Bell, Commissioning Editor for Arts, on behalf of Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two.
