After flight delays due to mysterious-sounding 'operational issues', we finally made it to our hostel at about midnight… it was a tiny room but we were exhausted so we went straight to bed. Unfortunately we were woken up at about 7am by drilling and banging right next to our room. Sleep-deprived and angry, we immediately phoned reception and changed our booking from three days to one and booked another hostel. But when we arrived at the new place, in the pouring rain…we realised, to our horror that we had booked the hostel for the following day by accident! Fortunately the woman on reception took pity on us and phoned round their sister hostels to find us a room for the night, which we had been told would be "a little noisy". When we got there, it was quite grand compared to what we were used to! Then the drilling and hammering began…so we headed out into the rain for an explore and actually didn't get very far! We took shelter in a coffee shop but decided to head back to the hostel and explore the following day, when it was meant to be dry.
In the evening we went to find some dinner and decided to try Bahn Cuon, rice flour pancakes filled with minced pork and mushrooms. The pancakes were quite nice but we probably wouldn't have them again. In Vietnam, there are a lot of restaurants that only sell one dish. They will either have a scattering of tiny plastic stools outside or tables inside, often with quite garish lighting and you need to embrace the fact that it isn't going to be as clean as you might like! Throughout the day, these places are full to the brim, with everyone's motorbikes forming a wall outside.
We then had THE worst night's sleep of the trip so far…the banging continued way into the night, then at about 11pm, drilling began and it sounded like it was right behind our room! We had earplugs but they were useless against this level of noise. At about midnight, Kim headed downstairs to find out what the hell was going on…only to be told that the building work would continue until 1.30am because they can't do it in the day…(?!) The noise continued until gone 2am. During our wait for the noise to stop, we heard our door being opened – there were two random men outside who had incorrectly been given a key to our room by reception! What a nightmare! Oh yes, there were also two cockroaches to deal with amidst the madness…We were pleased to get out of there the following morning and went straight to the next place. Finally, a nice clean room, no building work and free biscuits!
So, now we were settled, we could actually see some sights! The rain had stopped and it was nice and warm. The first place we went was St Joseph's Cathedral:
Then we walked round to Hoan Kiem lake:
Feeling thirsty after the walk, we went up to a rooftop bar called The Terrace for a drink. I tried Vietnamese iced coffee, which is very similar to the Laos coffee, strong with a splash of condensed milk – very nice!
Afterwards, we powered to the Hanoi Women's Museum and found out about Vietnamese customs, traditions, fashion and important women in Vietnamese history.
It was a really interesting museum and we learnt a lot about what life was and is like for women in Vietnam.
The next day we went on a one day trip to Halong Bay. It was a four hour journey there but definitely worth it!
When we arrived in the bay, we moored up and then got into kayaks to visit the floating town and to go through into a cave.
This was so much fun! The only problem was that our kayak was filled with water and we were instantly soaked when we sat down! We soon found our rhythm though and had a wonderful time paddling around the caves. You make your way through and see all the stalagmites and stalactites before emerging into a wide open lake surrounded by mountains. There were huge eagles circling the rocks above, it was so peaceful. We both agreed that it was one of our top moments in our trip!
Back on the boat, we headed for Dong Thien Cung cave. We got off the boat again and walked up into the cave. It was incredible!
We then made our way back to shore.
Unfortunately we then had the return four-hour journey on the bumpiest bus ever! But it was worth it!
We had booked a cookery course for the following day at Countryside Cookery School and Restaurant. It began with a trip to a nearby market to pick up supplies and then we donned our chef's hats and aprons…
Our first dish was Green Papaya salad with spicy dried beef:
Then we made Hanoi spring rolls!
Followed by stirfried chicken with lemongrass and chilli!
Then we got to try our creations! Yum!
It was a great way to spend an afternoon! We got certificates and recipes to take home too, unfortunately we weren't allowed to keep the hats…I can't wait to try the recipes when I get home, I also got one for Pho, the famous Vietnamese soup which I had a lot while in Vietnam!
On our last day, as our flight wasn't until later on, we headed to Hoa Lo prison, which was built by the French colonists and used for political prisoners. It was later used for American prisoners of war.
The actual prison was demolished in the 1990s but the gatehouse was turned into the museum and still looks the same as it did originally.
Phew, we packed a lot in! Our next destination is Hong Kong!

Pakistan's government has agreed to take fresh steps to address the money laundering and terror-financing issues, in an effort to avoid being blacklisted by Financial Action Task Force (FATF) ahead its crucial meeting next month, officials said.
Currently placed on the Paris-based FATF'S 'grey list', Pakistan has been scrambling in recent months to avoid being added to a list of countries deemed non-compliant with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regulations by the FATF, a measure that officials here fear could further hurt its economy.
Finance Minister Asad Umar on Tuesday chaired a high-level meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) on anti-money laundering, where a report titled 'Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment' was presented.
It was also the first comprehensive risk assessment report jointly prepared by the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
The meeting approved the findings of report that foreign funding, drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, extortion, robbery and bank heists were the primary sources of terror-funding in Pakistan.
Highlighting that the terror financing have roots outside Pakistan's borders, the report said the hostile agencies were fuelling terrorism in Pakistan by providing funding to sub-national terrorist groups.
Officials said that the report was prepared as part of implementation on 27-point action plan that the FATF handed over to Pakistan as a prerequisite to exit the grey list.
Out of these 27 actions agreed with the FATF, Pakistan is required to deliver on 10 points by January 2019.
Officials said that most of the task set out by the FATF have been met and others will be fulfilled before the deadline.
They said the areas highlighted in the report would be addressed through legal and administrative actions in order meet the commitments made with the FATF.
The report says that the role of the law enforcement agencies was critical to implement these recommendations, particularly to curb the sources of terror financing, the sources said.
The NEC meeting was told that the issue of terror financing through crypto currency was addressed by the State Bank of Pakistan that already barred the financial institutions in dealing with crypto currency.
The FIA informed the meeting about actions taken to curb hawala business and action against bit-coin currency dealers, while the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan said that it had notified changes in the Intermediaries (Registration) Regulations, 2017 aimed at implementing the FATF requirements.
The meeting decided to speed up enforcement of action and following a result-based approach to meet the FATF obligations, officials said.
Pakistan would submit a compliance report to the Asia Pacific Joint Group next month. The group will then present Pakistan's case in the FATF meeting in February 2019.
A team of experts from FATF's International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) is scheduled to visit Pakistan in the first week of January to assess the progress made by it on an action plan agreed in June to address global concerns.
The country will have to deliver on all the 27 points by September next year. In case it fails, Pakistan can be blacklisted, which carries serious financial implications.
By January 2019, Pakistan will also have to demonstrate effective implementation of targeted financial sanctions against the assets of the UNSC designated persons and entities and their affiliates.
These include Daesh (ISIS), Al Qaeda, Falahi Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohmmad, Haqqani Network and persons affiliated with the Taliban.

When comparing Bluefish vs Yi, the Slant community recommends Bluefish for most people. In the question"What are the best programming text editors?" Bluefish is ranked 27th while Yi is ranked 43rd. The most important reason people chose Bluefish is:
Bluefish supports Perl Compatible regular expressions, sub-pattern replacing, and search and replace in files on disk
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Very powerful search and replace
Bluefish supports Perl Compatible regular expressions, sub-pattern replacing, and search and replace in files on disk
Pro Light and fast
Bluefish starts really quick (even on a netbook) and loads hundreds of files within seconds.
Pro Highlighting
Bluefish highlights matching blocks for start and end markers (for both brackets and tags).
Pro Emmet support
Support Emmet or Zen Coding.
Pro Auto-completion and auto-tag-closing
Bluefish supports auto-completion and auto-tag-closing for many programming languages, with reference information, and even for nested languages (e.g. css and javascript inside html code that is inside a php document), with included language definition files for: C/C++, CSS, HTML, XHTML, HTML5, Java, JSP, JavaScript, jQuery, Lua, Octave/MATLAB, MediaWiki, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, XML, and others.
Pro Combines and improves upon the best text-editing features from your favorite editors
Yi has default configurations for Vim, Emacs, as well as CUA. It also makes several improvements that includes Sublime-like (multiple) cursors.
Pro More performant than Vim
Vim can be rather slow due the age of its code base. In particular, running large macros in Vim can be rather painful. Since Yi is being built from scratch it has been engineered for performance and with the benefit of hindsight.
Pro Extensible and modular editing features
As far as extensibility goes, Yi easily outstrips any other open-source text editor. Motions can be built from parser combinators, making them simultaneously flexible and modular - an open source hacker's dream.
Pro Plugins work together
Packages work together because they compile together.
Con Very few plugins available
Even though Yi is a general purpose text editor similar to Vim and Emacs, almost all of the plugins that have been written for Yi so far focus on supporting Haskell as a programming environment.
Con No way to reuse your existing customizations and keybindings
If you have spent years crafting your
.vimrc or
.emacs, there's no way to reuse it in Yi. You have to start from scratch.
GHC + Haskell packages makes for a rather large installation, which is a big ask for a relatively obscure terminal editor.

Cordless pet clipper for cats and dogs - GogiPet® Osiris.
The pet clipper of the latest generation of GogiPet®.
The GogiPet® Osiris dog clipper with the latest Li-Ion Polymer battery technology provides powerful clipping for up to 4 hours with a charge of only 2.5 hours. If that is still not enough for you, you can even use the cordless pet clipper directly with the power adapter as cable pet clipper. The 46 mm wide, titanium blade with ceramic cutter ensures a quiet, long, good cutting performance with less heat development than with conventional blades and can be replaced when worn. If you want to remove knots from the coat, cut the hair off the muzzle, cut shaving of the paws or shave the intimate area, you can select 4 length's with the slider between 1 and 1.9 mm and thus optimally adjust the length to the sensitivity of the skin. The GogiPet ® Osiris has gradually been adapted to the needs of dog hairdressers, veterinarians and the demanding home user, and an extra light, quiet, ergonomic and compact pet clipper has been developed for the highest demands. Extra-fine teeth of the scissor head make the GogiPet® Osiris dog clipper incredibly safe in use and guarantee a very clean finish.
If the hair of the pet is well washed, dried and combed, this small pet clipper is even used for complete clip. For this purpose we provide 4, 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm attachment combs for free.
Because the GogiPet® Osiris is an exceptionally quiet and low-vibration pet clipper, it is also ideal for anxious pets and especially for puppies who have to get used to a pet clipper.
Characteristics of the GogiPet Osiris pet clipper:
- Clipper for dogs, cats and small pets
- Corded and cordless small pet clipper
- Titanium coated blade
- Portable ceramic blade for long sharpness and little and low heat generation
- Lightweight pet clipper
- Specially developed as a clipper for partial areas
- The blade can be adjusted from 1 to 1.9 mm depending on the skin's sensitivity
- With completely clean and combed fur also as a complete clipper for small pets useable
Here you will find the blade for the GogiPet Osiris.
Application of the GogiPet® Osiris pet clipper:
The GogiPet® Osiris clipper has been especially designed for small areas to you can quickly and easily cut the paws and bales, remove matted knots and tangles from the coat, shave the snout, shave the ears, clean the intimate area, or the veterinarian shave the body to see the veins. If you want to keep some body parts short regularly, such as the snout or the intimate area, you start with the longer setting and goes down bit by bit so that the skin can get used to the short clip.
Since the small pet clipper is so strong, we have also provided free-of-charge attachment combs, which are primarily intended for the finishing, but also for the complete clipp, the GogiPet® Osiris is becoming more and more popular with dog groomers as it is so maneuverable and light.
What is to be considered if you intend a complete clip:
As with every shearing, the animal must be bathed, melted and dried. Just when you are able to glide through the fur with the comb you can start with the complete clip. Observe the direction of growth and always cut in the direction of growth in order to achieve an even length.
You should pay attention:
The teeth of a small pet clipper are high-performance blades which must always be treated well in order to achieve a long service life. The low-vibration, extremely small teeth ensure that the pet clipper does not tickle and that the risk of injury is kept extremely small, small stones and coarse dust act on the small knives like a rock on a hedge shears, therefore always wash the fur and brush well.
If you want to remove feltings, please notice that you cannot cut directly into a mat but only under it, so these places may become very short. The blade must always be cleaned with the supplied cleaning brush and well-oiled otherwise the blade is glued and in extreme cases even has to be replaced.

The theme for World AIDS Day 2016 is Hands Up for #HIVPrevention7:39 AM

World AIDS Day is observed December 1 every year to raise the awareness in the fight against HIV. The theme for World AIDS Day 2016 is Hands Up for #HIVPrevention. The United Nations' (UN) World AIDS Day, focuses on issues surrounding HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
Hands up for HIV Prevention! this is the theme for World AIDS Day 2016.
Nearly 15 years ago, South Africa's Constitutional Court faced a monumental decision: whether or not to provide HIV-positive pregnant women and their babies with treatment to protect the infants from contracting the virus from their mothers during birth.
South African researchers and leaders are hard at work developing and delivering innovations that could turn the tide on HIV and also make significant gains against tuberculosis (TB), which is the most common illness South Africans with HIV develop.
The innovations we develop here at home will inevitably benefit people across the globe. Even now, while South Africa is the epicentre of both the HIV epidemic and the most exciting HIV research, other countries, including our neighbors, are benefiting from the same tools and strategies that have been core to our own progress.
Investing in innovation for HIV and TB will support South Africa beyond these epidemics as well. By building strong scientific and research capacity, we'll have the opportunity to establish ourselves as a global leader in health and development.
Ultimately, the next generation of South Africans will be ready to develop and deliver solutions to the biggest scientific problems we don't yet know about.
The next phase of the global response against HIV and TB is unfolding, and the world needs leadership committed to innovation for positive impact. We know South Africa is up for the challenge.
"Ever since AIDS, I believe our primary posture as a community has been indignation, and we just won't be denied anymore," Peter Staley, the AIDS and gay rights activist, said in an interview. "We really felt like we were being slowly slaughtered, and the country was just standing by and letting it happen. And once we realized if we came together and pushed back, we actually had real power and knew how to wield it, there was just no turning back."If the successful Global Plan was Act I, Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free is Act II. Launched over the summer, this effort builds on the successes of the past five years, while setting an ambitious new framework to end AIDS in children, adolescents and young women once and for all. This one-two punch, with continued support and funding, stands to change the trajectory of the epidemic in just a generation. We must build on the incredible progress we've made over the past several years and commit to achieving what would be one of the greatest public health achievements of our lifetime: ending AIDS in children, while supporting the ultimate goal of wiping out AIDS entirely.
Immunotherapy shows promise
The research is similar to the immunotherapy being done in the field of cancer. The technique uses proteins — antibodies — to attack cancer cells.
"When you think about oncology and cancer therapy with these immune-based therapies, what people are doing now in that field is to try to boost the immune system to eliminate the cancer cells. The problem of eliminating the HIV hideout is similar. You want to eliminate the cells that harbor the virus, and by making the immune system more active, in finding and eliminating those cells," Tebas explained.
Researchers found that the antibodies suppressed the HIV virus for 21 days. The goal is to find a combination of antibodies that can suppress the virus for six months to a year. Then people infected with HIV will no longer have to take medicine every day for the rest of their lives.
A new trial using two antibodies should start in the next couple of months.
World AIDS Day 2016 being observed in BangladeshBangladesh has been observing World Aids Day to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. Bangladeshi women and children from "Dhanmondi, Dhaka" a rehabilitation center for victims of sex trafficking, arranged to light candles on the eve of World AIDS Day in Dhaka, Bangladesh, December 1, 2016. Its amazing to see so much fundraising going on for #WorldAIDSDay already across the country!
Many volunteers organize art or slogan competitions, allowing students to show their creativity and promote awareness of HIV/AIDS. The winners are often displayed after World AIDS Day to educate people year-round.
World AIDS Day is a day dedicated to commemorate those who have passed on and to raise awareness about AIDS and the global spread of the HIV virus.
In addition to events to raise awareness, Peace Corps volunteers work with their communities to educate people about HIV/AIDS including transmission, prevention methods and testing. Many volunteers work with groups to raise nutrition levels, generate income and provide support for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Know About World Aids DayThe first World AIDS Day was held in 1988 after health ministers from around the world met in London, England and agreed to such a day as a way of highlighting the enormity of the AIDS pandemic and nations' responsibility to ensure universal treatment, care and support for people living with HIV and AIDS.
What is the red ribbon?The red ribbon, as an awareness ribbon colored red, is used as the symbol for the prevention of illegal drug use and drunk driving and also solidarity of people living with HIV/AIDS.
What are the red ribbons on the X factor about?It is also noteworthy that ITV allow its talent to wear AIDS ribbons during the World AIDS Day and the lead up period, with X-Factor judges sporting the iconic red ribbon this year.
What is the meaning of the red ribbon?The red ribbon is internationally recognized as a symbol of the struggle around HIV/AIDS. It is a symbol of solidarity and a commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States usually held on the last full week of October.
The theme for World AIDS Day 2016 is Hands Up for #HIV Prevention.
Here is a brief report from ITV News on, World Aids Day 2016
World AIDS Day, December 1, which also launches the start of Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Week in Canada, is a time for reflection: on what we have achieved with regard to the national and global response to HIV, WAD Imageand what we still must achieve.People around the world are gathering today to recognize World AIDS Day and help raise awareness about the disease. Hands Up for #HIVPrevention!
For nearly three decades every December 1, we've heard about the tragedy of AIDS. Activists the world over put a spotlight on the AIDS virus on this day. They encourage testing and distribute leaflets with information on HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, including how it spreads and how to keep from getting it. The United Nations Secretariat Building in New York is lighted with the red AIDS ribbon.
AIDS has killed 35 million people since the start of the pandemic. It's left millions of orphans in its wake. Every year, 2 million people acquire the virus, and the U.N. estimates that more than 1 million people die from the virus annually.
Still, a lot has happened since the first World AIDS Day in 1988. Countries in which the topic was once taboo now offer testing and treatment. Mothers with HIV can have healthy babies and live to raise them. Drugs can keep the virus from spreading. More than 18 million people are on lifesaving anti-retroviral drugs that keep HIV in check. And now, scientists are talking about vaccines and a cure.

Abu Dhabi,22 Apr 2018
Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), the leading national entity for development aid, today hosted a workshop for Arab and regional development institutions to discuss ways of supporting the government of Afghanistan to implement its development plans and programmes.
Alongside ADFD senior staff, the workshop included representatives from the Afghan government, Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the Saudi Fund for Development, the Islamic Development Bank, as well as the OPEC Fund for International Development.
Opening the workshop, His Excellency Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD delivered the welcome speech and thanked the Arab and regional financial institutions for attending the workshop and actively participating in its various sessions. He added that such support will enable the people of Afghanistan to achieve economic and social development across all sectors.
The one-day workshop was also attended by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Qayoumi, Chief Advisor to the President of Afghanistan, His Excellency Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for International Development Affairs, His Excellency Abdul-Fareed Zakaria, Ambassador of Afghanistan to the UAE and Khalifa Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Deputy Director General of ADFD, among others.
In his welcome speech, His Excellency Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD, reaffirmed the keenness of the UAE and its leadership to stand by the people of Afghanistan, and support them in addressing their development challenges.
He said: "ADFD works closely with the Government of Afghanistan to support various economic and social development projects that contribute to the country's sustainable growth."
His Excellency added: "ADFD has maintained a strong relationship with the Government of Afghanistan that dates back to 1977. During this period, the Fund has supported several key development projects that have had a significant impact on the economy of the country."
For his part, His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Qayoumi applauded ADFD's efforts in supporting Afghanistan in achieving its sustainable development objectives.
Qayoumi noted that ADFD was one of the first aid agencies to support development projects in Afghanistan that improved the living standards of its citizens. The Fund has emerged as a top international aid agency due to its active role in providing the much-needed support for developing countries to achieve sustainable development.
Since it started its support for development projects in Afghanistan in 1977, ADFD has allocated AED1.2 billion towards the development of 14 projects that contributed to the economic and social development of the country.

I thought i would share a few of my favourite getaways as I have had a lot of requests about some of the places i have been visaing lately.
I believe to maintain a well balanced life we should take time out of our schedules even for a quick weekend stay at a wonderful location where we can spend time with family and experience the natural surroundings.
Recently we took time out to visit Bannisters Pavilion at Mollymook beach.
Fortunately or unfortunately as we decided to escape the city at last minute, all that was available was the penthouse and reluctantly i accepted (trust me it wasnt" hard). The Penthouse was so beautiful that we didn't even want to leave the suite.. We arrived early but the staff were so helpful they got us into our suite within half an hour of arrival and just in time for lunch on the rooftop at Pavilion. Great place to relax, read a book and just spend some quality family time. They even still provide board games and dvd's.
Whilst we were there as all visitors we decided to dine at Rick Steins. Some of the dishes were a true example of the flavours that Rick is famous for…. try the prawn and Eastern Rock Lobster Thermidor! Unfortunately, we were disappointed with some parts of the service but thankfully it did not spoil our overall experience.
Thank you Bannisters hotels for the perfect weekend :)

Fragcamp Ep46: Playing Kill Confimed on the Showtime Map (COD Chosts)
In Fragcamp Episode 46, I am playing some Kill Confirmed on the new Call of Duty: Ghosts Showtime DLC multiplayer map. Kill confirmed is a fun game mode to play on this small map as it really forces the player to risk being out in the open to recover dog tags. Collecting enemy tags confirms a kill while collecting fallen comrades tags denies a kill. There are two teams fighting each other. The more kills and the more tags collected, the better the score.
To up the ante, I am playing with the Remington R5 assault rifle. This rifle sports the Blunt Force camo which I purchased for $1.00 in the PSN store. I am using a Red Dot Sight with a purple reticule as I think it looks really nice with the green leafy camo. I really don't like the iron sights on the R5, so I prefer to use the red dot ones for more accuracy. Other weapons like the ARX-160 and the Honey Badger have nice built-in iron sights.
As SMG or a Shotgun is great at close range combat for the Showtime map as are knives and pistols. But it's good to try out other weapons for that precise reason. What if our ammo ran out and we did not have the scavenger perk equipped and we were on a really high killstreak? We either pick up another weapon from a fallen soldier, use a melee attack, or die and respawn with our weapons' ammo restocked. I would rather be able to pick up any weapon off the ground and run with it. To do that, I need to feel comfortable with these same guns. So, keep alternating your maps, modes, and guns to become a better Call of Duty player.
Commentary and video gameplay footage recorded by me, phoenixgenesis, on my PS3 on September 30, 2014. (c) 2014 Phoenix Genesis / MBS LP – All Rights Reserved. What is your favorite weapon to use in Showtime? Leave your comments below.

November includes Native American Indian Heritage Month and National Adoption Month.
Native American Indian Heritage Month
On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. First sponsor of "American Indian Heritage Month" was through the American Indian Heritage Foundation by the founder Pale Moon Rose, of Cherokee-Seneca descent and an adopted Ojibwa, whose Indian name Win-yan-sa-han-wi "Princess of the Pale Moon" was given to her by Alfred Michael "Chief" Venne. -Wiki
National Adoption Month
Each year, November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month. While all adoption-related issues are important, the particular focus of this month is the adoption of children currently in foster care. -heartbeatinternational.org

Heartening news to begin, as the sales of organic produce continue to rise for the 7th year in a row, now racking up a record value of £2.2bn/year.
In research news, a recent study reveals that the relationship between erosion and biodiversity is reciprocal. Soil organisms can both reduce soil loss, by improving porosity, and increase it, by diminishing soil stability as a result of their mixing activities. Simultaneously, soil runoff has ecological impacts on belowground communities.
A new study from the University of California, Berkeley, has found that low-tech methods of improving soil quality on farms could pull significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus slowing climate change.
And the future is here! Researchers have built an AI-powered soil testing kit for small farmers. The paper testing strip combines with a mobile app and uses machine vision to measure the amounts of chemicals in water and soil samples
Meanwhile, a major grant from the Natural Science Foundation will allow researchers to determine how interactions between plants and soil microbes will influence plant growth and health in a warming climate.
Defra has launched a review to "examine the continuing need for AHDB and the statutory levy" and has opened a 10 week window for farmers, growers and processors to share their views so they can establish the long term future of the board.
.....but farmers are disappointed with the lack of help they have received from the government after difficulties resulting from the recent heatwave, despite reassuring words from Environment Secretary Michael Gove. They say they need more meaningful assistance to deal with the long term impacts of the driest early summer in nearly 6 decades.
Recently a team from the UK attended the 21st World Congress of Soil Science, the largest gathering of soil scientists in the world and one that takes place only once every 4 years – this time in Rio de Janeiro. Find out more about the trip here.
And finally, for those with green fingers, the Telegraph have produced a handy guide to improving your soil over the dormant winter period to ensure high health and productivity come spring.

A church member writes: "While participating in my church's Christmas pageant years ago, I had the good fortune to be chosen as the narrator. Each rehearsal went off smoothly and I was confident when it came time for the drama. At a certain point in the drama, I said in a loud voice: 'And we kings brought gifts to the baby Jesus, gold, Frankenstein and myrrh.'"
I recall a cartoon which pictured three women standing near the manger. The caption read: "After the three Wiseman left, three wise women arrived each presenting a gift to the baby Jesus, fresh diapers, casseroles for a week, and lots of formula."
Which takes us to the story of the Magi, the mysterious men from the east. A community of Jews lived in the east and Magi, astrologers, who lived among them were familiar with their beliefs, including the belief that a special star was expected that would be a sign of the birth of the Jewish Messiah. When the Magi saw this star in the sky, they packed their suitcases, kissed their families' good-bye, boarded their camels, embarked on their adventure and followed the star until it led them to
Jerusalem, and eventually to Bethlehem. The story captures our imagination because it's
a metaphor for the journey that we all are on in life.
The story of the Magi reminds us that people follow all kinds of things in life. We follow celebrities, leaders, principles, ideologies, ideals, goals, dreams, feelings, the stock market, politics, current events and yes even stars. Some of these things are good, inspiring, and noble. They help our lives to grow or others' lives to flourish. They lead to happiness, joy and fulfillment. These stars contribute to society, e.g. worthwhile causes, careers, family, medical research, military service to name a few. Other people follow things that are false stars, things that are foolish, worthless, trivial or harmful like greed, materialism, radical ideologies, pleasure, addictions, exploiting others, or evil.
I remember a conversation when I was a pastor in CO with a man who had followed his love of gambling for many years. He told me he once had a family, a job and a home. But over the years, his addiction to gambling cost him and he lost everything. When I met him he was on his way back from the bottom. He had become a Christian, had broken his gambling addiction, was dating a woman, had re-connected with his children and had started a new career.
In speaking about stars I am referring to God's leading, God's guidance and God's will, which occur in a variety of forms. God's will was that the Magi find the Messiah and worship Him. We all have the freedom and opportunity to follow stars in life. But not all stars are the same. We must distinguish between them, because what we follow in life makes all the difference. God gives us the freedom to choose, to obey and we must choose wisely. What are you following?
The story of the Magi further reminds us that God sends stars into our lives. I am not being literal here. Please think symbolically. I'm not picturing a celestial body floating over your head. God can create anything, or use anything or turn anything into a star. God sends stars to us in order to fulfill His purpose for our lives.
I think of a pastor friend in Los Angeles who saw a star in the form of God's calling, God's vision, God's tugging at his heart to get personally involved in the tough neighborhood around his church. He got out of his office and started playing pick-up basketball with neighborhood youth who were involved in illegal drugs and violence. God used this pastor's athleticism, faith, outgoing personality, and dedication to steer many young people away from trouble, or prison or death on the streets and into productive lives. He led many to come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord. Yes, God sends stars into our lives to further his purposes for us or for the world around us. God sends stars to guide and use for His glory.
Further, the Magi story reminds us that in following stars us we must persevere. Just because God set's a star before us, and we have a desire to follow, doesn't mean the journey will be easy or comfortable or stress-free or risk-free.
Clearly the journey the magi took across the desert involved hardship, suffering, discomfort, and struggle. But these Magi persevered; they endured the journey, battling the elements in their quest to find the promised king.
This is what's involved in following Jesus. It means at times we must endure hardship, and remain faithful, amid difficult circumstances, because Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is worthy of such faith and obedience and because His purposes for our lives matter. I think of valiant people in the Bible, men and women of faith, who battled on amid adversity like Ruth, Esther, Mary, Mary Magdalene, and the Apostle Paul.
Like the Magi, God calls us to persevere, to continue the journey with every fiber of our being, which includes our body, our intellect, our emotions, and our soul. For sometimes we are plagued with questions and doubts, or we are emotionally or spiritually exhausted or physically drained. This is when we must get down on our knees and pray for strength.
Clearly in scripture and in the lives of Christians today, here and around the world, particularly the middle east, it takes perseverance, faith, determination, courage and a thankful heart to follow God's leading in our lives.
The author Fleming Rutledge writes: "As our life of thanksgiving deepens, we discover that the more mature prayers of thanksgiving are not only those offered for obvious blessings, but those spoken in gratitude for obstacles overcome, for insights gained, for lessons learned, for increased humility, for help received in time of need, for strength to persevere, for opportunities to serve others."
The Magi could not predict where the journey would take them, or what fortunes or challenges they would encounter, or what detours they might unwittingly take, but they trusted the star to lead them to where they could meet and worship the king. And so with us. You sense what God wants you to do or where God wants you to go, but you are not exactly sure how you are going to reach that destination. That's why it is critical to follow God's leading, so the star you are following in your journey into the future will be the one God has set for you, and not someone else's.
Come on now pastor, does God really send stars? A pastor tells this story about a young woman who came to his church. "She began: '
could I talk to you for a minute?' She looked to be in her early 20s. I'd never seen at our church before. 'What
can I do for you?' 'Would you please
talk with my husband? He moved out from
our home and into an apartment. I don't know what to do.' Her name was Laura. 'Is he a Christian?' the
pastor asked. 'He's the one who led me to a relationship with Christ.' 'I'll be glad to talk with him. How can I get
in touch with him?' 'That's the problem'
the young woman replied, 'I can't reach him. If he wants to talk, he calls me.' At this point there was little I could do. I asked her to have him call me if he talked
with her again. I remember the look of
despair in her eyes as she walked away.
Friday was my day off. We were landscaping our front yard. By late afternoon, I was muddy, aching, and thoroughly tired of the whole project. I had run out of ornamental plants so I drove to the store for more. I arrived at the store, loaded my cart and headed to the checkout.
As I waited in line, I glanced at the cashier's nametag. It looked familiar. As he began to ring up the plants, I motioned to his nametag. 'Is that your name?' He looked at me blankly, 'Yes.' 'Are you married to Laura?' He looked wary. 'Yes?' I gave him my happiest smile. 'God has sent me here to talk to you about your marriage.'"
The pastor continued: "Some 300,000 people lived in the
area then. Out of
all of them, the first person I had talked to—other than family and staff—since
Wednesday night was this husband. At
times I've really needed guidance and have prayed earnestly for it. God has helped me. But my divinely guided
trip to that husband remains my most remarkable example. Not only was I not
trying to be led, I wasn't conscious of God's leading. I just wanted the yard
finished." Fresno
Over the years that I've been pastor here I have had people say to me: "
Pastor, I was
looking for a church and God led me here.
I am happy to be in this church."
I too am personally thankful for the stars God has placed before my life,
which have led me along my journey. The Magi show us the importance of being
alert to, and following, God's stars in our lives.
The Book of Proverbs says: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not rely on your own insight, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Amen.

As a retired restaurant owner, I am familiar with all the code needs necessary for your gear and share my investigation on 2014 best commercial mixer evaluations in this post to maintain you and your company within the suitable code too. I have drawers presently and the amount they can hold is amazing and was not confident how much I must push for when it came to picking our subsequent spot….Your kitchen just sealed it :)! When you've planned the appear of your kitchen design, you'll need to have to strategy the layout and flow of your new kitchen.
For households that like to cook with each other, the accessible surface of a kitchen island effortlessly enables multiple men and women to prepare food at the identical time. Or, attempt a hanging pendant light more than your kitchen sink, in front of a kitchen window or over a dining server. The cast-iron sink was the pillar of early plumbing and seems to be generating a comeback in some regions. Also, be sure to adjust the length of the hanging pendant light so it is in proportion with the primary cook in the kitchen and hang the lights at the proper height. If you are going to hire a person, an IKEA-authorized installer might cost you less even if the per-hour price is greater than the regional handyman, as IKEA cabinets are slightly non-common in their installation approaches and the experienced installer will be quicker to do the job. Most low-end sinks only have eight%, which is why these kitchen sinks create surface rust.
Achieve more storage space and seating without the hassle and expense of redoing your entire kitchen or obtaining a custom island. According to Blanco, when this takes place just clean the sink real well with a non-scratch cleaner like Bar Keeper's Pal or BonAmi and then rub it down with a tiny mineral oil. Created of solid hardwood (not particleboard) this sturdy island characteristics an oak countertop, sculpted edges, raised detailing, and brushed nickel hardware. Now my bread machine is handy to use in a portion of the space that old microwave took up. For this kitchen these new cupboards are a fantastic space and maintenance resolution.
If you want to remodel using a new style, start with your kitchen and move out from there. Property owners are always looking for a lot more storage and there are plenty of other places where recycled kitchen cabinets can be put to good use, like in the laundry space, basement storage region or in the backyard shed. Use your island to develop a cozy breakfast nook or to gain some significantly necessary counter space without having undergoing an high-priced renovation.

The Evolution of the SAR Logo
Original logo
The merger of the three schools presented opportunities and challenges. One of the challenges was deciding on a name. Those individuals responsible for the merger had a hard decision to make. Some wanted to retain the original names, while others wanted a fresh title. Rabbi Greenberg, favored YAVNEH, where Jewish scholars kept the Torah alive after the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. Rabbi Lamm from Akiba was inclined towards RASHI, which would contain the letters of Riverdale, Akiba, Salanter, and the Hebrew Institute. Finally, S/A/R—an acronym of Salanter, Akiba, Riverdale—emerged as the logical choice. The original logo was created by Yudi Lefkowitz.
Current logo
In 2005, Dan Harelick was approached by David Sable to study the SAR logo and explore ideas for creating an updated institutional identity program, including a new logo and support materials, which would accurately reflect the school's warmth, energy, and commitment to providing an education that caters to every child's unique abilities.
Dan's instinctive reaction was to incorporate a new brighter color palette to convey the joy that resonates throughout the school. The palette began with the three primary colors and was inspired by Rav Shimon the Tzaddik's description of Judaism's three pillars in Pirkei Avot. He states, "On three things the world stands: on the Torah, on the service and on acts of lovingkindness." By adding both secondary and tertiary colors into the mix, and overlapping the initials in a more modern typeface, the logo becomes representative of the eclectic diversity of SAR's student body, and the intimate and unique way SAR, through its combined curriculum of Hebrew language, Judaic Studies, and General Studies, so beautifully impacts all of our lives.
SAR 50 Logo
The logo for the 50th Anniversary was created by the Dov Abramson Studio in Israel. When reflecting on the design Dov explained its origin... "The visual language of the logo and background design, evokes an open and playful space that invites creativity. It has a collaborative and transparent look and feel-- all of these making for a great reflection of SAR's soul." We agree!

The night of Monday (16th) proved to be cold! I ended up sleeping in my duvet jacket as I much prefer a duvet to a blanket.
The plan for Tuesday (17th) was Canyon de Chelly followed by a drive to Monument Valley to arrive before sunset.
The morning was glorious, although very cold – the duvet jacket was pressed into service again!
We first visited the National Park Offices, and looked around the exhibition, which was very interesting. We decided to do the northern part first and then the southern part (as that worked best for lighting for photographs).
The first part of the tour was through 'normal' land, with dotted Navajo homesteads. Then a glimpse of red canyon was spotted. We turned off the main road onto as side road towards the Antelope House Overlook. We were following another car. We were horrified to see some litter being thrown from the car window onto the side of the road. We initially thought it was a tourist, but the car turned into a homestead. It appeared that the driver thought it was OK as they lived there. Unfortunately as the day wore on we noticed that this was not an isolated incident, there was a huge amount of litter, particularly cans and glass. How sad that the local people have such little respect for their beautiful surroundings.
When we got to the lookout car park there were just 2 cars – the advantage of being out of season and early in the morning. We walked to the lookout across rocks and only saw 4 people in total. That added to the atmosphere. The views were fantastic, with lovely colours and amazing rock formations.
The evidence of early habitation could be seen. This is Antelope House.
Mike took lots of photos
And I took a few too!
This is Spider Rock in the southern part of the canyon.
As well as interesting rock formations the growth on the rocks was very interesting and pretty too.
From Canyon de Chelly we headed north to Monument Valley. Parts of the journey would have been considered spectacular in any other area, but with the bar set quite so high we travelled through without stopping (except for Burger King for lunch – choice was lacking and they had free wifi!)
The view approaching Monument Valley looked like something from Lord of the Rings.
We entered the Park and checked into the very comfortable View Hotel. The hotel is owned by a local Navajo and run respecting the Navajo traditions and culture. It offers employment to a significant number of local people. The view from our balcony was to die for!
I'm a happy Helen in this picture – that's my first tea of the day, and look at that sky!
As the sun set it got even better We spotted Venus and Mars on our way to dinner.
We ate in the restaurant, trying the local taster menu, which was very good.
The sky was sparkly clear and so, we got the scopes and camera out The balcony gave a good, although restricted, view out into the darkness of the Valley. I decided to wander out around the hotel to get a full sky effect. The winter Milky Way was on show, although a little disappointingly the hotel was rather too well lit at the back for the full effect to be seen. So the scope stayed on the balcony and I cruised around the southern skies taking in some old favourites (Orion etc) as well as exploring sights too low from home (Monument Valley is at 35 degrees North compared with 53 at home). I bagged a few new Messiers The only disappointed was that Omega Centauri wasn't visible due to a hill (I waited until 2am to see if I would be able to catch a glimpse…). At that point I called it a night –it had been fun!by

Gaultier lesbian ad not quite what it appears
By David Griner on Jan 31 2011 Tweet
Fashion advertising is long past being scandalized by little lesbianism. But what if one of the women isn't actually a woman? That's sure to get you some meta buzz, as Jean Paul Gaultier is discovering with his new campaign featuring Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova (left) and androgynous male model Andrej Pejic (right). The campaign is getting lots of attention for its faux sappho, partly because, as the Huffington Post notes, it comes on the heels of a Love magazine cover about androgyny which features Kate Moss kissing transsexual model Lea T. But it takes three to make a trend, so here's hoping GoDaddy.com finds a way to work this concept into the Super Bowl.

The Dobbins Group Messaging Workshop helps you get to the core of who you are, what you do and why it matters. It starts with a half-day, interactive session that examines big brands that get messaging right, then challenges you and your leadership team to look at your organization through a different lens.
Using a variety of customized storytelling and mind-mapping exercises, we work with you to dissect your brand and shine a light on what you do better than anyone else in the world. We dig deep, then pull back to identify messaging pillars that will be used to craft positioning statements and a messaging architecture.
After the workshop, our team gets to work on your messaging playbook, which includes:
- Your refined brand promise
- Messaging statements and their related taxonomy
- An overall positioning statement

In my opinion, this is hands down the best use for trunks -- to spread joy and distribute smiles (as well as candy) to the young ones in our community. This year was our biggest turn out by far. More than 25 families came with decorated trunks, ready to hand out candy to the parade of kiddos dressed in their Halloween finest.
Adding to the fun this year, was our own Tim Gunner and his House of Boos providing a soundtrack for the event. Tim and friends played a variety of blues, contemporary, and Christian tunes including members of the newly formed Jam Session.
The youth provided the liquid refreshment and salty counterpart to all of the sweets. This event was the unveiling of the new popcorn machine delighting the multitude with fresh movie theater style popcorn goodies.
The weather was beautiful and the a good time was had by all. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's event!

Albert married Agnes Moyer from Onanole. They have one son, Harvey.
by Bessie Simmons
Ernie Simmons was the youngest son of Isabella (McDougall) and Thomas Simmons. His mother was born in Islay, Scotland, and his father came from Sussex County, England.
Ernie was born at Clanwilliam in 1903, and attended Lakelet school till he was fourteen. He was always in terested in steam engines and fired a steam engine for ten days for Mr. John Oman Sr. in the fall of 1917. He was only fourteen years old and so happy to be working around the engine. Three years later he joined the C.P .R. in Minnedosa and made his trial run as "fireman" for the late Alf Wakely of Minnedosa. In 1944, he became engineer and in 1953, he was the engineer on the trial run through Minnedosa when the first diesel went through.
In 1929 he married Bessie Madill of Bethany, daughter of Maggie and Mark Madill. Their family consisted of three sons, William, James and Donald. In 1933 they moved from Minnedosa to a farm near Bethany - the old home farm of Maggie and Mark Madill. These were the depression years and work on the CiP .R. did not improve until 1941. Ernie continued to make his trips on the C.P.R. from Minnedosa to Bredenbury, Saskatchewan. They both loved to travel and visited in many places. In 1968 after 47 112 years on the C. P . R. he was retired and took his wife on a trip to Ireland and England. After retirement he was interested in the farm and livestock, also in gardening. In his younger days he liked to curl and skate. He was a member of the Minnedosa L.O.L. He passed away in July, 1976 following a brief illness but remained very active to the last.
After his death his wife remained on the farm with her oldest son, Bill who is a bachelor. Bessie is interested in all community enterprises. Her church work and work in her beloved Orange Order come first. Her favorite hobby is music and playing the piano.
Bill is the third generation to raise Black Angus cattle on this farm, as his maternal grandfather started off with this breed of cattle. He takes a great pride in his hogs and cattle. Bill is a real "Hockey" fan and attends many of the games during the winter months.
Jim is a school principal at Greenwood School at Camp Shilo. Jim taught for four years in a rural school Lakelet S.D. No. 229. Incidentally, Jim's mother also taught at Lakelet school in her young days. Jim attended Brandon University. He continued his studies at home and is a very modest person, seldom mentioning the four degrees which he holds.
Jim married Janice McPherson and there were two sons, Mark and Jason. Both boys are attending school in Winnipeg. Mark is 17 and Jason is 14. In 1978, Jim had a second marriage to Patricia Smith and they have one son, Martin who had his first birthday in February of this year. Jim is interested in curling, hunting and fishing. His
wife Patricia attended school at Swan River and later attended University at Winnipeg. She is presently teaching at Camp Shilo. Jim and Patricia live in Brandon but drive to work each morning as Shilo is only 17 miles away.

Shaquille O'Neal is an American retired professional basketball player and rapper, currently serving as a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. O'Neal played for six teams throughout his 19-year NBA career and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016. O'Neal has also found success in acting, music, television and gaming.
Following his career at Louisiana State University, O'Neal was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft. He quickly became one of the best centers in the league, winning Rookie of the Year in 1992–93 and later leading his team to the 1995 NBA Finals. After four years with the Magic, O'Neal signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won three consecutive championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002. In 2004, O'Neal moved on to the Miami Heat and won his fourth NBA championship in 2006. Between 2007 and 2011, Shaq took his talents to Phoenix, Cleveland and finally Boston where he finished out his basketball career.
Shaq's individual accolades include the 1999–2000 MVP award, the 1992–93 NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, three All-Star Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, two scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections, and three NBA All-Defensive Team selections. He is one of only three players to win NBA MVP, All-Star game MVP and Finals MVP awards in the same year. He ranks 7th all-time in points scored, 5th in field goals, 13th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks. Largely due to his ability to dunk the basketball, O'Neal also ranks 3rd all-time in field goal percentage (58.2%).
Philanthropically, Shaquille's relationship with the Boys & Girls Club of America dates back to his youth in New Jersey. As a national spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, he has been participating in campaigns with the non-profit company for the past 15 years.

From Shaquille O'Neal to Shaq: Creating, Selling and Growing the Ultimate Brand
With a jewelry line, comedy tour and a bestselling sneaker line -- Shaquille O'Neal achieved all of those things outside of the basketball court, where he first made his mark. Over the last two decades, the 15-time NBA All Star has established a nearly unrivaled personal brand. Senior editor at Forbes Kurt Badenhausen deemed O'Neal a "marketing visionary" who "broke new ground through his career off-the-court," particularly in the world of technology, as "one of the first athletes to embrace social media." Most recently adding television analyst to his impressive repertoire, Shaq is the epitome of a modern Renaissance Man and an expert on growing a revolutionary brand. In this interactive speech and discussion, Shaq shares his personal insights into building and expanding not just a memorable brand -- but an iconic one.
What Is Your Leadership Style?
What is the most important achievement of 15-time NBA All Star Shaquille O'Neal's career? Earning his doctorate, for which he incidentally made history as the first person in the 'Top 50 NBA Players of All Time' to do so. Toward his degree in Organizational Learning and Leadership, Dr. O'Neal interviewed top CEOs and business leaders to learn when and how they incorporated humor into the workplace as part of their leadership styles. In his interactive talks, he shares the insights he learned from leaders at such companies as Pepsi, Reebok, Starbucks, Apple and Carnival Cruise Lines and how this research changed his leadership style in managing his own business empire.
