Gregory Palamas
Our father among the saints Gregory Palamas (1296-1359), Archbishop of Thessalonica, was a monk of Mount Athos in Greece (at Vatopedi Monastery and Esphigmenou Monastery), and later became Archbishop of Thessalonica. He was a preeminent theologian and a proponent of hesychastic theology. His feast days in the Church are November 14 and the second Sunday of Great Lent as the Sunday of St. Gregory Palamas.
Early years
He was probably born at Constantinople of a noble Anatolian family. From his youth, he was attracted to the monastic ideal, and successfully persuaded his brothers and sisters, along with his widowed mother, to take up the monastic life. Around 1318 he and his two brothers went to Mount Athos, where they learned firsthand the traditional hesychastic way of contemplative prayer.
With the encroachment of the Turks, he was forced to flee to Thessalonica, being ordained a priest there in 1326. Afterward, he took up the eremetic life at a mountain near Beroea, and eventually returned to Athos in 1331. Six years later, he became involved in a controversy with Barlaam, a Greek monk from Calabria, Italy.
Hesychastic Controversy
He was initially asked by his fellow monks on Mount Athos to defend them from the charges of Barlaam. Barlaam believed that philosophers had better knowledge of God than did the prophets, and he valued education and learning more than contemplative prayer. He stated the unknowability of God in an extreme form, having been influenced by a reductionist interpretation of the writings of St. Dionysius the Areopagite. As such, he believed the monks on Mount Athos were wasting their time in contemplative prayer when they should instead be studying to gain intellectual knowledge.
When St. Gregory criticized Barlaam's rationalism, Barlaam replied with a vicious attack on the hesychastic life of the Athonite monks. Gregory's rebuttal was the Triads in defense of the Holy Hesychasts (c. 1338), a brilliant work whose teaching was affirmed by his fellow Hagiorites, who met together in a council during 1340-1341, issuing a statement known as the Hagioritic Tome, which supported Gregory's theology.
A synod held in Constantinople in 1341 also supported St. Gregory's views, condemning Barlaam. Later, in 1344, the opponents of hesychasm secured a condemnation for heresy and excommunication for Gregory, the saint's theology was reaffirmed at two further synods held in Constantinople in 1347 and 1351. Collectively, these three synods in Constantinople are held by many Orthodox Christians and several prominent theologians to constitute the Ninth Ecumenical Council. Between the latter two synods, Gregory composed the One Hundred and Fifty Chapters, a concise exposition of his theology.
Final years
In 1347, he was consecrated Archbishop of Thessalonica, but the political climate made it impossible for him to take up his see until 1350. During a voyage to the Imperial capital, he was captured by the Turks and held in captivity for over a year. He died in 1359 and was subsequently glorified by the Orthodox Church in 1368.
Contrary to Barlaam, Gregory asserted that the prophets in fact had greater knowledge of God, because they had actually seen or heard God himself. Addressing the question of how it is possible for humans to have knowledge of a transcendent and unknowable God, he drew a distinction between knowing God in his essence (in Greek, ουσία) and knowing God in his energies (in Greek, ενέργειαι). He maintained the Orthodox doctrine that it remains impossible to know God in his essence (God in himself), but possible to know God in his energies (to know what God does, and who he is in relation to the creation and to man), as God reveals himself to humanity. In doing so, he made reference to the Cappadocian Fathers and other early Christian writers.
Gregory further asserted that when the Apostles Peter, James and John witnessed the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor, that they were in fact seeing the uncreated light of God; and that it is possible for others to be granted to see that same uncreated light of God with the help of repentance, spiritual discipline and contemplative prayer, although not in any automatic or mechanistic fashion.
He continually stressed the Biblical vision of the human person as a united whole, both body and soul. Thus, he argued that the physical side of hesychastic prayer was an integral part of the contemplative monastic way, and that the claim by some of the monks of seeing the uncreated light was indeed legitimate. Like St. Simeon the New Theologian, he also laid great stress in his spiritual teaching on the vision of the divine light.
Besides the Triads in defense of the Holy Hesychasts (c. 1338) and the One Hundred and Fifty Chapters (c. 1347-1351), numerous homilies of St. Gregory are also extant. Substantial passages from his writings are also collected in the Philokalia. The bulk of his work remains as yet untranslated.

- Introduction to St. Gregory Palamas (ISBN 1885652836) by George C. Papademetriou
Probably one of the most significant writers of our day regarding the theology of St. Gregory is Metropolitan Hierotheos (Vlachos) of Nafpaktos, whose prolific published writing makes frequent reference to Gregory's theology, even when hesychasm or the saint are not the primary subject of his work.
"When we strive with diligent sobriety to keep watch over our rational faculties, to control and correct them, how else can we succeed in this task except by collecting our mind, which is dispersed abroad through the senses, and bringing it back into the world within, into the heart itself, which is the storehouse of all our thoughts?"
"Because the Deity is goodness itself, true mercy and an abyss of loving bounty - or, rather, He is that which embraces and contains this abyss, since He transcends every name that is named and everything we can conceive - we can receive mercy only by union with Him. We unite ourselves to Him, in so far as this is possible, by participating in the godlike virtues and by entering into communion with Him through prayer and praise. Because the virtues are similitudes of God, the participate in them puts us in a fit state to receive the Deity, yet it does not actually unite us to Him."
- O light of Orthodoxy, teacher of the Church, its confirmation,
- O ideal of monks and invincible champion of theologians,
- O wonder working Gregory, glory of Thessalonica and preacher of grace,
- always intercede before the Lord that our souls may be saved.
- Holy and divine instrument of wisdom,
- joyful trumpet of theology,
- together we sing your praises, O God-inspired Gregory.
- Since you now stand before the Original Mind, guide our minds to Him, O Father,
- so that we may sing to you: "Rejoice, preacher of grace."

B2C stands for Business-to-Consumer, or businesses that sell their products or services to individual consumers. While all facets of digital marketing can apply to both B2B and B2C, the strategy will differ.

There are so many benefits to digital marketing! The underlying goal of digital marketing is to bring more qualified users to your website. Through a mix of digital marketing tactics, you are able to guide users through their online journey, resulting in more conversions for your business.
The beauty of digital marketing is that all of the tactics work together in harmony. An effective digital marketing strategy will also reinforce your traditional marketing, providing your target audience with cohesive messaging.
There are also a number of benefits to digital marketing over traditional marketing. Digital marketing is flexible. With digital, you have the ability to make changes over the course of a campaign, unlike traditional where you're locked into long campaigns that are set in stone.
Digital campaigns are also much easier to track because you can set up tracking pixels, create robust event tracking across your website and develop trackable links using utm parameters, which all tie your success directly back to specific campaigns.

How do you start digital marketing?
We recommend starting digital marketing by thinking about your audience and your priorities. This will help you decide which digital marketing tactics will be the right fit for you. For example, if you're selling a service aimed at individuals nearing retirement, Instagram and Snapchat probably don't make sense for your business, while LinkedIn and Facebook would be a better fit for your audience.
Next, it's time to think about your priorities as a business. The digital marketing tactics you choose should align with your business goals. If your main goal is to spread the word about your local business, then local SEO is for you! If you're more interested in understanding why users are leaving your website, you should think about UX testing.
If you have the time and the manpower to take on multiple tactics at once, go for it! But if you can only devote attention to a few tactics, then we recommend you start strong with those and add more to your marketing mix as you can.
Can digital marketing increase online sales?
Absolutely! The goal of digital marketing is to improve website traffic and online conversions, thus helping you reach your overall business goals. If you'd like to ultimately increase online sales, we would recommend a variety of tactics to reach this goal. These may range from UX research and conversion rate optimization to advanced product schema to social media. When we're developing a campaign for a client, we get to know their business and objectives, then propose plans to align with those goals.
What's a digital marketing strategy?
A digital marketing strategy is a plan of attack for your digital efforts. We start our strategies with goals and KPIs, then we decide which tactics will lead us to success.
What types of digital marketing tactics should I implement?
SEO: If you want to rank higher in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) or get more users on your website, then you should start with SEO.
Content Marketing: If you want to build an audience through sharing valuable information, content marketing is the best way to do that. Content Marketing and SEO go hand-in-hand, so for many businesses, this will be a two-fold approach.
SEM: Do you want to advertise your service or products? SEM is a great way to target user searches and get your name in front of them near the top of search result pages.
Social Media: Social media allows you to give your audience a behind-the-scenes look at your business, share valuable content and build relationships. If your audience is on social, you should have a strategy designed to meet them where they're already spending time.
UX: Concerned about why users are leaving your website? Unsure of why your form is never filled out? UX testing can help you understand user behavior and develop a plan of attack for improving your online user experience.
Research: If you want to understand what your audience thinks about certain topics or about your business, research is a great approach. Develop online surveys and then analyze the data for statistical significance.
Of course, we can help with all of this and more, so let us know if you want to learn more!
What's the secret to a successful digital marketing campaign?
You might think digital marketing can't be successful unless you come up with a crazy-creative idea. That can certainly help, but the real secret behind success in digital marketing is optimizing your campaigns.
When we say optimizing, we mean testing small changes over time to continuously create better results.
At Blue Compass, we actively monitor all of our campaigns. It's nearly impossible to find the perfect combination of keywords or targeting right off the bat, so that's exactly what we do! We've found that it's these campaigns that perform the best because they're consistently improving.
What are digital marketing platforms?
Digital marketing platforms are other websites or software used to execute digital strategies. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are all digital platforms which provide marketers with the tools to share their messaging with a desired audience.
What are some digital marketing tools we should use?
This depends on your goals, but there are a few digital marketing tools which are relevant for every business: Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Google Analytics is a website analytics platform that allows for robust reporting and tracking. Even if you just want to know how many people are visiting your website each month, and which pages they look at, we recommend getting GA set up!
Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) is the direct line of communication between your website and Google. If you're diving into SEO, you need to have Google Search Console set up so you can understand how Google is interacting with your website. If you're not going full force into SEO yet, you still need it for some simple website management features such as submitting sitemaps.

The Levant Arabs originally settled all over the Arabian Peninsula and later migrated to North Africa. Today, several hundred thousand Levant Arabs live along the northern edges of the Arabian Desert. They are spread from Israel to Kuwait and as far east as Iran. "Levant" is a broad term that includes several groups of Arabs: the Jordanian, Palestinian, Iraqi, Chaldean, and Syrian Arabs.
Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula are considered to be the original Arabs. The Arabian culture was developed by tribes of nomads and villagers who lived in the Arabian Desert for many centuries. It was also from there that Arab migrations began, eventually leading to the expansion of the Arab world.
The Levant Arabs have had a close association with Islam throughout much of their history, and today, nearly all of them except for the Jewish Arabs are Muslims. The two main branches of Islam in the region are the Shi'ites and Shafiites. Most Levant Arabs speak an Arabic language called Arabiya, with varying local dialects. Others speak an Arabic language known as Mashriqi.
The Levant Arabs typically live in villages located near fertile regions; but they can also be found near mountain foothills in less arid regions. Although they have settled in towns or villages, they have held on to their tribal affiliations.
The various tribes are ruled by sheiks (Arab chiefs that are considered to be experts in Islam and in relating to the outside world). Their fortress-like villages can be easily defended. Each house has windows on all sides and is built facing the outside of the village. All goods and persons passing through town are strictly controlled.
Individual dwellings tend to be elaborately decorated, flat-roofed homes called "town houses." Lime wash and brickwork are used around the windows as a form of artistic design. The rooms usually have some type of carpeting, and when entering the house, one must leave his shoes at the door. The walls are lined with mattresses and cushions to sit on and lean against. A main reception room and a kitchen are located on the top floor. The flat roofs are used by the women for drying laundry.
Social life is very important to Arabs. They like to share a daily coffee time by sitting on the floor and drinking coffee from cups without handles. Their diet basically consists of wheat bread and porridge made with boiled meat or chicken.
Despite Islamic teachings, the reality of different classes of Arabs still persists. The type of clothing worn has become one of the determining factors. Levant tribesmen dress differently than other villagers and can be easily recognized. The women wear veils both in town and at home. Boys show that they are becoming men by changing their headgear and wearing daggers.
In spite of the fact that some Muslims are allowed to have up to four wives, most marriages among the Levant Arabs are monogamous. In the past, all marriages were arranged by the parents; however, it is becoming more acceptable for young people to choose their own mates. Young girls are considered ready for marriage by age nine.
In recent years, many of the Levant Arab nomads have settled into mountain villages where they now raise grains, vegetables, coffee, melons, dates, mangoes, and pomegranates. Domestic animals are kept to supply milk and eggs.
Almost all Levant Arabs are Muslims. Islam is a religion of works that is based on five basic "pillars." (1) A Muslim must affirm that "there is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." (2) He must pray five times a day while facing Mecca. (3) He must give generously. (4) He must fast during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim year. (5) He must try to make at least one pilgrimage to Mecca in his lifetime.
Islam has greatly influenced the lives of the Levant Arabs. To preserve their people, they are only allowed to marry those inside their own group. Levant Arab society is patrilineal, which means that inheritances are passed down through the males. In this system, boys inherit more than girls. Since children are considered a family's greatest asset, females are valued for their ability to bear children.
There is a great need for the Gospel to be preached among the Levant Arabs.
At the present time, there are only a few Christians within the Levant Arab community, with the largest number found among the Iraqi Arabs. Evangelization efforts among these tribes are challenging due to restrictions in many of the countries, as well as general antagonism towards Christianity. Prayerful intercession is the key to reaching them with the Gospel.
Ask the Lord to call people who are willing to reach out and share the love of Christ with them.
Pray that God will raise up faithful intercessors who will stand in the gap for the Levant Arabs.
Ask God to give Levant Arab believers opportunities to share the love of Christ with their own people.
Pray that their traditional Muslim culture will soften, creating open doors for the Gospel to be preached among them.
Ask the Holy Spirit to open the hearts of these people toward Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Levant Arabs.

On April 22, the American Optometric Association (AOA) urged patients with emergency eye care needs to get in touch with their local optometrist prior to seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms. Doing so not only eases the burden on emergency departments but also helps prevent the spread of COVID-19.
What Is Considered an Eye Emergency?
Most eye-related conditions can be treated in an outpatient optometry office or clinic. Emergency eye care includes, but is not limited to, urgent clinical advice or intervention for eye injuries and conditions that entail a foreign object in the eye, chemical burns, a sudden change in vision, flashes and floaters (which might suggest a retinal detachment), contact lens discomfort, red eyes and any other problems or symptoms that may impact or interfere with daily activities.
Prioritizing Your Eye Care Needs During COVID-19
During the coronavirus outbreak, we have been going above and beyond to ensure that people are receiving the emergency eye care they need.
Patients should first contact Jan M. McVey, OD for guidance and potential treatment prior to heading to an overwhelmed hospital emergency room. Dr. Jan McVey can assess the level of care the patient needs—whether it's telehealth or urgent care that requires a visit to the eye clinic or, in severe cases, even the emergency room.
This will ensure that patients get prompt treatment while allowing hospitals to conserve their resources for the current pandemic. In fact, research has shown that treating eye emergencies at eye doctors' offices can potentially divert 1.4 million patients away from emergency rooms per year.
While we have closed our store for routine appointments, Jan M. McVey, OD at Glendale continues to provide emergency care for those who need it. We'd like to reassure our patients that we are here to help with anyone's emergency eye care requirements – for both for new and existing patients.

Ocular rosacea, an inflammation of the eye and/or eyelid, occurs in conjunction with rosacea of the skin. A chronic inflammatory condition, rosacea primarily affects the face, cheeks, forehead, and chest area. When rosacea affects the eyes and/or eyelids, the condition is known as ocular rosacea.
Ocular Rosacea Symptoms
Ocular rosacea primarily occurs in conjunction with rosacea of the skin, appearing either before, after, or at the same time as a skin flare up, but ocular rosacea can also develop independently. Symptoms of ocular rosacea include itchy, dry, burning, or stinging eyes; red or swollen eyelids; frequent sties; excessive tearing; eye redness (erythema); visible blood vessels on the whites of the eye; sensitivity to light; blurred vision; and the feeling of having something caught in the eye. Individuals with rosacea often do not realize they are also experiencing ocular rosacea, as eye symptoms are not always as severe as skin symptoms.
Who is at Risk?
Individuals with fair skin, a family history of rosacea, or who are prone to blushing or flushing are at a higher risk of developing rosacea. Among those who develop ocular rosacea, most are women between the ages of 30 and 60 or undergoing menopause.
When to See a Doctor
Individuals who experience any discomfort or symptoms of rosacea around their eyes or eyelids should visit an eye care professional at once. Patients who have been diagnosed with skin rosacea should visit an eye care professional periodically to rule out the possibility of ocular rosacea. If left untreated, ocular rosacea can lead to further medical complications such as blepharitis or chronic dry eyes, which can permanently damage the cornea and lead to vision loss.
Diagnosis and Treatment
An eye care professional diagnoses ocular rosacea simply by reviewing symptoms, looking over medical history, and examining the patient's eyes and eyelids. As the exact cause of ocular rosacea is not yet understood, no cure exists. The symptoms, however, can be managed with oral antibiotics and regular cleaning of eyelids with a prescription solution. Sometimes an eye care professional might recommend artificial tears.
Eye care professionals also recommend patients with ocular rosacea make a few lifestyle adjustments, as certain activities have been shown to aggravate the condition. Activities that may aggravate ocular rosacea include consuming hot or spicy foods and beverages, drinking alcohol, undergoing both physical and emotional stress, getting too much sunlight, taking drugs which dilate the blood vessels like blood pressure medication, and exposing the skin to extreme cold or hot temperatures.

One of the perks of having a food blog is that I often get copies of cookbooks to review. Obviously as a vegaquarian (or pescetarian, if you prefer), a lot of them are vegetarian in nature.
I recently received a copy of "Totally Vegetarian" in the mail and I must say I'm impressed. Now i'm sure the meat eaters are tuning out here, but stay with me. This cookbook has plenty of solid vegetarian fare that is sure to please any die-hard carnivore. The book is also chock-full of all sorts of information about ingredients and cooking tips and is definitely a very informative read. Scroll down to the bottom for how you can win a copy of this book for your collection!
I decided to try one of the recipes and wanted to try a soup in anticipation of the fall weather that's headed our way. The Potato-Chard Stew sounded absolutely fantastic, so I immediately jotted down the ingredients and headed to the grocery store.
Wow - very very tasty. I did make a few changes, such as using kale instead of chard, but wow, is this good! It's very hearty, so it'd be perfect for a chillier night when all you want is something warm and filling.
Potato-Kale Stew
Serves 4
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cups diced onion
1/4 tsp salt
1 medium sweet potato, cut into 2" pieces
1 yukon gold potato, cut into 2" pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2" dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
2 cups sliced fresh kale leaves
In large pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and salt, and saute 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften. Add potatoes, bell pepper, garlic, ginger, and spices, and saute for a minute or two. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Add kale leaves, remove from heat, and allow to sit for a minute or two for kale to soften. Serve and enjoy!
Want a copy of this cookbook for your very own??
Simply leave me a comment by midnite on Sunday, September 21st. I'll pick a winner at random on Monday, September 22nd.

Lesson Terms and Condition (Customer Care Charter)
The following terms and conditions represent the basis upon which I (the owner of the local LDC driving school franchise) offer driving lessons and courses to you (the student).
Please note each LDC driving school is independently owned and operated thus the contract for service is between you and me. However, my continued ownership and membership of the LDC driving school franchise in this area is dependent upon me maintaining the highest standards of service and behaviour.
The Learner Driving Centre (LDC) is a separate entity which has been authorised to act as a booking agent and a quality controller for the members of the LDC driving school franchise network. Any breach of the following terms and conditions by me will potentially put me in default of my contract for service with you and my franchise agreement with them.
1. General conduct
I will be courteous, polite, tidy and punctual. I will behave in a professional and ethical manner at all times. My training car will be well maintained, clean and tidy (weather permitting). My car is fitted with dual-controls and is fully insured for driving tuition purposes. I will not smoke in the training car at anytime, nor will I use your lesson time for any other form of business, personal or otherwise without your expressed permission.
2. Qualifications
I am legally authorised to give driving tuition in the UK by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). I am also proficient in the use of LDC's unique LD System of driving tuition.
3. Course materials
When you purchase a One Week Pass, Semi-intensive, Midway Pass or Test Booster course directly through the LDC national booking office the Driving Skills Workbook and Driving Skills DVD Videos will be posted to you from the centre and are for you to keep. Alternatively, if you purchase a course directly through me I will supply them.
4. Driving Licence and eyesight
You must hold a current, valid driving licence (provisional or full), which must be produced on or in advance of our first driving lesson. You must prove your entitlement to drive and provide me with a licence check code prior to our first driving lesson. The LDC National Booking Office or I can provide the instructions on how to do this. You must also check that you can read a number plate at a distance of 20.5 metres (i.e. 67 feet - about 5 car lengths) with prescribed visual aids (i.e. contact lenses or glasses) if normally worn. Please note if you need contact lenses or glasses to achieve this you must make sure you wear them on each and every driving lesson.
5. Safety, comfort and well being
Safety is a shared responsibility as identified below:
- In the interests of comfort and safety you are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing which does not restrict movement or which is inappropriate, distracting or could lead to embarrassing situations.
- It is important you act responsibly at all times and give your undivided attention to the driving task at hand. Should anything be distracting you during your lesson it is important that you make me aware of this fact even if it is something I am doing. Similarly if you are feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about any driving task please let me know. I will be grateful for your feedback and I will think no less of you for doing this.
- In an emergency situation it is important you follow my instructions and allow me to take control of the steering wheel if necessary to avoid an incident. I may also need to make use of the dual controls (i.e. brake and or clutch pedals) and thus override your use of them. As soon as it is safe to do so I will advise you of why my actions were necessary and help you to calm down if required. Any subsequent discussion will focus on what can be learnt rather than who was to blame.
- I will do my best to deliver any instructions or take any actions (even in an emergency) in a calm and measured manner so as not to alarm you or make you feel uncomfortable or disheartened in any way. I will definitely not shout at you or make any sarcastic or derogatory remarks.
- You can be assured I will not use improper language or suggestive behaviour and/or physical contact.
- You must take note of any medication you are taking which may affect your ability to drive safely and advise me accordingly before taking any lesson booked. Similarly, you should inform me of anything you feel might impact on your ability to undertake the proposed lesson safely.
- In the event it becomes apparent you are unable to concentrate due to illness, tiredness, or your emotional state of mind I reserve the right to terminate the lesson early or require your agreement to choose an alternative learning activity which can still be undertaken safely.
6. Driving under the influence
To ensure the safety of you and other road users I reserve the right to cancel any lesson if you are or if I suspect you are under the influence of drugs, legal highs and/or alcohol (prescribed or otherwise). If this occurs the full training fee for the period in question will be lost or charged.
7. Lesson postponement
You may lose, or be required to pay for, any lessons booked in my diary which are postponed or cancelled by you, especially if I am unable to obtain new replacement work for those appointment time(s). However, I reserve the right to postpone lessons if I consider the weather or road conditions to be unsuitable or dangerous. Unfortunately, I cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred as a result of me having to postpone any lessons, for whatever reason.
8. Punctuality
In your own interests you are advised to be punctual for your lesson appointments. All such appointments should be recorded (and checked where possible with me) in your Driving Skills Workbook (Appointment Record section) to ensure mistakes are avoided.
I would normally wait for you for a maximum of 15 minutes before the lesson would be abandoned and the lesson fee forfeited or become due for payment. A reciprocal waiting time may become necessary if I am delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. I will make up any lesson time lost as a result of this at the end of the normal lesson time or as soon as possible. Any such shortfall should be recorded in your Driving Skills Workbook and initialled by me.
9. Payments
- You are required to make payment for the course or the driving lessons in advance of the training. Please note: LDC does not accept any responsibility for any payment made directly to me.
- The deposit or any subsequent training fees paid are not refundable in the event you decide to cancel the training once the booking has been accepted by me and placed in my diary. At this point a binding agreement is made between yourself and me. This does not in any way affect your statutory rights to be provided with the goods and services you have bought (please see term 15).
- A full refund will be given if the LDC national booking office team or I can not satisfy any special requirements noted and as shown under "Special Requirements" on your booking/confirmation form.
10. Customer Care Payment Protection Scheme
When you pay money direct to the LDC national booking office it is held in a payments holding account. This money is being held on your behalf and mine. This money is not normally passed onto me until you sign a form instructing the LDC national booking office to do so in part or in full. At various points during the training, I will ask you to sign a form confirming your satisfaction with any training given or your authority to be paid in advance of training. You should not sign this form or tick the box on your LDC Pupil App to confirm this unless you are totally satisfied with the training and want the LDC booking office to pass on sufficient money held in the payments holding account to cover the training time authorised. Similarly, you should not sign it to allocate payments in advance to me unless you wish to do so. In either case LDC can not be held responsible for any payment you made once it has been passed onto me and is therefore no longer in the payments holding account.
To ensure each LDC driving school instructor provides services to the same high standards they have all agreed that the LDC can act as an arbitrator and withhold any money in the payments holding account in the event of a customer complaint. Only when this matter is resolved to the satisfaction of the LDC's Quality Assurance Manager will payment be passed on or refunded as the case may be. In this way, the standards of the LDC driving school franchise can be maintained and you can be assured of getting what you paid for.
Please note if you book directly with me this scheme is not operated and LDC have no responsibility for any payments you have made to me.
11. The Driving Test
- Bookings
Driving tests can be booked by you, me or the LDC national booking office on your behalf. Driving test bookings always take priority over other lessons. Therefore, your lesson may be postponed to allow for someone else's driving test and vice-versa. Changes to lesson bookings as a result of this will be notified immediately. Test appointments must be notified to me as soon as they are known to you, otherwise I cannot guarantee to provide a vehicle for the test or any lessons just prior to it. - Use of the vehicle
In the interests of customer and public safety I reserve the right to withhold the use of the training car for the test if, in my opinion, your driving is actually or potentially dangerous - behaviour which if repeated on the test would result in a test failure. - Test cancellation
Three clear working days (Sundays and public holidays don't count as working days) notice of test cancellation or postponement is required by the DVSA. Therefore to cancel a test booked for a Friday you need to do this online no later than the preceding Monday thus giving three clear working days (i.e. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Failure to provide the required notice will result in the loss of your test fee. I cannot be held responsible for any postponement or cancellation of tests by you or the DVSA. However, I will do all that is possible to arrange another test as quickly as possible and to help you to reclaim expenses from the DVSA if appropriate.
12. Special Offers and Lesson price increase
Driving lesson/courses prices are subject to change without notice. I may also decide to run a special offer but can withdraw or change it at anytime.
Please note I only accept official LDC gift vouchers and have the right to decline any third party vouchers that may claim to be accepted by any driving instructor.
13. Complaints
In the event of a complaint I would be extremely grateful if you would give me the opportunity to resolve the matter in the first instance. However, please do not let a problem linger. If you booked your course or lessons through the LDC you may contact the sales person who arranged your training in the first place for advice and help by ringing 01977 691851 or 01977 691850. If you booked directly with me LDC are unable to provide any form of refund and any action would have to be direct with me as the contract for service is between you and I - not LDC. You may also complaint in writing to the LDC Quality Assurance Manager, The Learner Driving Centre (LDC), LDC House, Stuart Road, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 4PQ or email email@example.com.
14. COVID-19 Safeguarding Measures
Please note while COVID-19 remains a threat I may also require you to abide by the supplementary terms and conditions of service found on my web page entitled COVID-19 Safeguarding Measures.
15. Your statutory rights
Nothing in these terms and conditions will reduce your statutory rights relating to faulty goods or services provided. I have a statutory obligation to provide you with goods and services fit for the purpose for which they were bought and as described. Similarly, any goods supplied by the LDC national booking office must equally be fit for the purpose for which they were bought and as described. If you have any doubts about your statutory rights please contact your local Trading Standards Department or Citizen's Advice Bureau.
16. Gift Vouchers
All gift vouchers purchased through the LDC national booking office or directly with me are only valid for 6 months from the date of purchase and are subject to the following terms:
- The gift voucher can only be used by the recipient named on the gift voucher and is not transferable.
- The voucher is only valid for 6 months from date of purchase. This means that You must have started Your driving lessons within the 6-month period, but not necessarily finished them. If the voucher has not been redeemed before the expiration date it will not be reissued.
- The voucher is non refundable.
- The voucher has no cash value.
- If a voucher is still valid and lost, another can be re-issued for an admin fee of £10.
- If lesson prices have increased before the voucher has been redeemed the holder of the voucher may have to pay the additional cost.

The U.N. General Assembly has approved a strong rebuke of Moscow, calling the referendum leading to the annexation of Crimea illegal by a substantial margin of members voting, despite Russia's lobbying against the resolution.
The "Draft Resolution on Territorial Integrity of Ukraine" passed with 100 countries voting for it, 11 opposed, 58 abstentions. Two dozen countries did not vote either because their representatives were not present or their dues to the world body had lapsed.
The resolution says that the referendum in Crimea — in which the Kremlin says the population of the Black Sea peninsula voted overwhelmingly to join Russia — has "no validity." It calls for settling the crisis through political dialogue and for all sides to refrain from "inflammatory rhetoric."
The nonbinding resolution has mostly symbolic value, but is seen as a moral victory for Ukraine.
"This support has come from all corners of the world, which shows that this [is] not only a regional matter but a global one," Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia said after the vote.
The United Nations resolution comes on the same day that the International Monetary Fund approved a loan deal for Kiev worth as much as $18 billion, and the U.S. Congress approved $1 billion in loan guarantees for the country.
The White House's national security spokesman Ben Rhodes tweeted that the United Nations vote is the "latest signal of Russia's isolation and support for Ukraine."

Colorado's governor asked the nation Sunday for prayers for the 17-year-old girl who was critically wounded by a classmate at her suburban Denver high school.
Gov. John Hickenlooper also credited security procedures adopted after the 1999 massacre at nearby Columbine High School for helping put a quick end to the Arapahoe High School shooting by Karl Pierson, an 18-year-old student who shot Claire Davis at point-blank range before killing himself.
"We all have to keep Claire in our thoughts and prayers," he told CBS' "Face the Nation." Davis is hospitalized at Littleton Adventist Hospital.
Davis is in critical condition and stable, but she is in a coma, her family said in a statement issued on the hospital's Facebook page Sunday.
"The first responders got Claire to the right place, at the right time," the family said. They also praised the care she was receiving and expressed thanks for the outpouring of prayers and support.
About 500 classmates held a candlelight vigil Saturday for Davis, who was sitting with a friend near the school library when she was shot in the head. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson has said investigators think she was shot at random by Pierson, who had gone into the school looking for a teacher with whom he had a dispute.
Pierson may have been nursing a grudge against the teacher — a librarian and head of the school debate team — since September. Pierson was on the team and had been disciplined by the librarian for reasons yet to be disclosed, the sheriff said. He said Pierson threatened that teacher in September and came to the school Friday intending to harm him and inflict numerous other casualties.
Pierson excelled at speech and debate and was passionate about the team, friends said. They described him as a smart student who apparently didn't shirk from confrontations in class.
"He's a funny kid. He's smart. He's in the Eagle Scouts, a very intelligent kid. Did not like being wrong," said August Clary, who was a friend of Pierson. "If you're arguing with him, it's going to be, that's a feat if you win an argument against him."
"He would not be afraid to tell someone how he feels," said Zach Runberg, 18, a senior in Pierson's English class.
Pierson legally bought a shotgun on Dec. 6 at a local store, and he purchased ammunition the morning of the shootings. He managed to ignite a Molotov cocktail inside the school library before he killed himself as a fast-acting school security officer, a deputy sheriff, closed in, Robinson said.
That officer's aggressive response prevented more casualties, Robinson said. It's a tactic adopted nationwide after Columbine, in which first responders cordoned off the school before pursuing two student gunmen inside. The two killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves.
"It's nice to see how well the system worked. It's a remarkable improvement from before. This could have been much, much worse," Hickenlooper said.
After the Aurora, Colo., theater shootings and the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, Colorado's Democrat-led legislature this year implemented gun control measures that limited the size of ammunition magazines and instituted universal background checks. Colorado also appropriated more than $20 million for mental health hotlines and local crisis centers.
The measures were intended to address violence associated with so-called assault rifles, not shotguns that are widely owned for hunting and sport.
Hickenlooper acknowledged the latest shooting raised again questions about guns and violence. But he noted that Pierson "didn't seem to exhibit any signs of mental illness," and he cautioned that the investigation was in its early stages.
"Everyone in Colorado is asking the same questions," the governor said. "On the one hand there is a deeply held conviction for the freedoms laid out in the Second Amendment, but also a very, very strong conviction about the safety of children and the safety of the community."
Friday's shooting, he said, "defies any explanation, and you know we are searching for some pattern."

Thai Fish wrapped in Banana Leaves -- not a drop of oil
Now this holiday season. there were friends we don't see that often and when we meet the first words that spill out are about the kids who have grown taller, shorter, bigger, lost teeth etc. There were also few friends whom we see more often and who see the kids at more close quarter to be astounded.
Now irrespective of who they are, I have noticed a repetitive trend in my nature in the days and even hours leading up to their visit. The same can be said of the husband-man. Only his ways of dealing with it is exact opposite of mine.
The husband-man believes in welcoming friends in his unshaven, PJ'ed best. Not only that, he thinks it is perfectly fine to have stacks of unpaid bills/papers/unnecessary stuff on the counter when friends are visiting. If the cleaning-lady has come in on a Thursday he refuses to understand the importance of scrubbing a sink just before the guests arrive on a cold Saturday.
"These are friends", he yells, "Friends I have known since XYZ, Kolkata, Bangalore, Honolulu, New Jersey (fill place of choice)".
"Ok, but how does that justify a dirty sink", I retort.
"It is NOT dirty. IT IS clean", he desperately points out.
"Agreed. It IS clean. But it is NOT cleaned 'before-guests-arrive-clean'. There needs to be scented candles on the bath counter and not a tube of hemorrhoid ointment," I counter.
"These are not guests. These are friends," he rolls his eyes, flaps his arms, behaves weird.
Given that the guy is pretty tidy and neat in his ways, it is beyond me how he does not get this. Sigh!! And it is only fair that I mention, surprisingly he is the one who does the major clean up and dish washing after the friends leave.
But after all these years he does not understand why on the morning of a house guest or even dinner guest's arrival, I shove everything junk visible around the house, in the closet ,and close it tight. Then I prop pillows and screech at the girls if they dare to nudge even one out of its defined space. I take out books which I last read about five years ago and then strategically place them on the side table (this has a good side effect as I then start re-reading forgotten books). I light candles, scrub the kitchen counter thrice and align the rug in family room every 3 minutes. If time permits I also take out the huge conch, Ma got from Andaman and which is stored away in the upper shelf of the entertainment center for safety, and place it on the console. Ta-Da.
I don't have fancy place settings and how I wish I could do that too.
"Ha, ha...if only they open your closet", the husband-man laughs deliriously watching me from the corner couch. I fear he might actually just ask them to do so.
"Ok enough. Remember to talk", I hiss.
No, no I am not insane and neither is the husband-man undergoing speech therapy. It is just that he believes that it is perfectly fine to make visiting guests watch "Myth Busters" or "NatGeo" in silent admiration or even take a nap when friends come a visiting. While I am forever trying to think of the most exciting story to keep them entertained, he always volunteers to put LS to bed (which is a kind thing to do) and only after an hour do we realize that he is the one who is actually snoring. "Ghumiye poreche," I tell the friends calmly and then wake him up and drag him down to participate in the late night adda.
"Gawd, they are my friends. NOT guests", he rolls his eyes exasperatedly. No one seems to mind really so he must have a point there.
And then he believes in serving solid robust food like pathar mangshor jhol, bhaat and boutique beer.
"Thai fish in Kola pata, all wussy-ussy fancy-pansy. I am not doing it" he declares. I plain ignore. If I have managed to get banana leaf from the Asian Store, and a recipe of a fragrant marinade off the internet, my guests better eat the Thai fish.
And they do. They do. No one even opens the closet.
This Thai Fish in Banana leaf is a new found recipe which I love. It started off with a recipe suggested by a friend here. To it I merged a recipe of Green Curry sauce I found from Jamie Oliver. The two recipes punched together made a beautiful green curry paste. From then on making the fish was a breeze. It was so simple that it worked well for a weeknight dinner and even when cooking for more guests. The green curry paste can be made a day ahead but I felt it lost a bit of punch on Day 3. Maybe freezing instead of refrigerating for longer use will work well.
A note of caution while making the paste, lightly fry the onion before adding to the blender. This will avoid the bitterness many times grinding onion brings around. Also I added the lime leaves later and not while making the paste. The first time that I ground the leaves along with other spices in the mixer, the paste had a faint bitter taste. So I snipped the lime leaves with a scissor and then added to the fish while marinating. This way the paste was fragrant and perfect.
I was lucky to get banana leaves in the frozen section of the Asian Market. If you don't, just use parchment or aluminum foil. I have done that too. If you have no access to galangal or fish sauce, I suggest don't get shy, still do the fish but substitute with ginger and soy sauce
Also I tried this dish with three kind of fish -- Salmon, Tilapia and a fish called Swai. It worked best with Swai and Tilapia which are very mild fish and absorbed the flavor of the marinade.
The fish - I used 3 fillet of swai, each fillet cut in 3 pieces
In a blender jar add the following
1 onion, peeled and chopped (saute onion and use if onion tends to get bitter on grinding)
2 fat cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece galangal, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp coriander powder
handful of Thai Basil leaves
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp Soy Sauce
2-4 fresh hot red Chilli
handful of fresh coriander leaves
2 tbsp Coconut Milk (the thick part)
juice of 1/2 lime
Make a smooth paste
Clean and place the fish pieces in a large bowl. Sprinkle salt. Put the marinade on the fish so that all the pieces are coated nicely with it. If you have extra marinade freeze for later use. Snip 4 small Kaffir lime leaves in small pieces and add to the marinated fish. In absence of lime lives use lime zest. Marinate fish for 30 mins.
Next take a square piece of banana leaf.
Put a fish piece in the center. Add some finely chopped chilli rounds. More lime leaf if you have plenty.
Fold the longer ends of the leaf over the fish. Then fold the shorter ends to form a packet.
Secure the packet with a toothpick.
Put the fish packets in a oven safe tray with the toothpick side down. Bake the fish at 350F for 20-25 mins. At the end of this, open the covering and check to see if fish is cooked through.
Serve with white rice accompanied with one more Thai curry like this one.

I had to laugh hilariously at this post. I spend more time cleaning up than cooking sometimes when guests are expected. And my husband for some weird reason cleans up the garden always even though no one would even see the damn garden . Weird. The fish seems absolutely delicious. Must try.
ReplyDeleteDear Sandeepa
How are you?
The Hubby -man is 100% like me and the wife woman is 1005 like my wife..ha ha ..Tomorrow there will be some BBQ party , already noise has started ...
Very nice recipe..I have never made any kala pata wrapped fish ..I think it is time to start this method ...and this recipe...Long long back I used to make , fish wrapped in Shal pata and burnt in dying wooden unun...remove the burnt upper layer of leaves ..get that reaslly smokey aroma ..but cant get a wooden unun ...ha ha
Bhalo thekoBingo !! This is the replica of what goes on when guests 'friends' come over at out place too !!! The moment I say Can you just arrange your books as guests are coming. He will say " arey ora ashbe to ki hoyeche ?" Jemon achi temon hi dekhbe bari ar amader !! And yes I too have to remind him "Ektu kotha bolo" :-p
This preparation looks so simple yet delicious ...Interesting part is soya sauce with coconut milk...Hi Sandeepa,
As usual such a refreshing article. Loved your 'remember to talk' bid...Ha ha ...My MIL would have loved it as well....as she quite often screams, ' Katha balo' to my FIL from the kitchen while getting food ready for guests......Loved the innovative paaturi, Thai style recipe as well....Will definitely try out this weekend.
Thought I will share with you, you can replace galangal with ' aamadaa' as well, and aamadaa actually has a much stronger flavour in any case. You can check in Asian stores for aamadaa.- AnonymousFebruary 01, 2013 3:03 PM
Omg omg omg!!! It looks like you are talking about my husband. I was telling one of my frineds a few minutes ago about the 'same' thing. I would love to invite President Obama one day and see how my husband reacts. Because, everytime he will say "Oh,they are friends"..."Oh! they are family"...I think I have to invite strangers, aliens or Barack Obama to make him clean the house. It's funny but not like 'ha ha' funny.

I have to say my friends always say they enjoy coming to my place just so that they cant make a bigger mess in an already messy flat and they "don't feel like they should be on their best behaviour", ha ha! Nothing like a messy home to make friends/guests feel welcome ;)
Tomar boi-ta berole janiyo.
Sutapa :) I am in splits since I had dinner guests last Sunday and I was much like you (including, lil one-must-not-nudge-cushion syndrome)!! Thank God for dishwashers and I don;t mean the husband here :) I have to try the fish, I did make the malu style wrapped in foil and it was awesome. Any substitute for lime leaves? How many did you add while marinating?
ReplyDeleteRepliesAhem, well I make the husband rinse the dishes and then put them in the dishwasher !!! Also he is the one who has OCD about arranging dishes in the dishwasher. He will rearrange them in there while I am okay with all things that are out of sight. Can you beat that ?
Lime leaves sub with lime zest. I had these small kaffir lime leaves, I snipped about 4-5 and added. I love a chettinad style, how is mallu style ?Oh god, I clearly have OCD as I am the one who re arranges the dishes if the hubby loads the dishwasher!!! Yet, when no guests are around the house can look like a pigsty! Malu style recipes are there on many blogs, try shn's quite a nice recipe.
sounds a lot similar to our home. only now he does not bother to argue or talk. only does what he is told. he even tells me to tell him what to do. I guess he finds it easier than whining and arguing continuously :) never made fish this way and I have to find this fish. Shottiyi kolapataye mora fish recipe r ekta alada elegance :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose most husbands are funny, period! If we all wrote posts on their quirkiness, I'm sure it would be a best seller, isn't it?
Well as for the recipe, it reminded me of the Parsis' recipe, 'Patra ni machi' i.e Fish in banana leaf. Your recipe has a Thai flavour and Parsis apply Indian green chutney and steam the fish.Hi Sandeepa,
Although I am regular visitor, I never left comments before. But this post was so hilarious that I am still laughing loudly. I am pretty sure there are a lot of us women who will totally relate to the tidying up frenzy just before guests arrive and hiding/shoving things into closets part is exactly what I do too!
Your post brought cheer to my otherwise stressful work day..keep them coming!

And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me. 8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. 9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. 16 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused. 17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD. 18 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. 19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. 20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. 21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? 22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. 23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him. 24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. 25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. 26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? 27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner |
