BRADFORD risks losing some of the legacy of the Tour De France's visit to the district if soon to be demolished facilities are not replaced - according to to a cycling action plan.
Many local cycling clubs currently use the facilities at Richard Dunn Sports Centre in Odsal, but with that centre due to be flattened in the near future, Bradford will be "deprived of a very important cycling hub."
The strategy was produced by B-Spoke, the Bradford Cycle Forum that took place in February, and lists Bradford's cycling priorities for the coming year.
It also calls for Bradford to host "traffic free days" on certain roads, better signage for cycle routes and suggests new routes being created.
Bradford's Cycle Strategy will be discussed at a meeting of the Council's Environment and Waste Management Scrutiny Committee tomorrow.
The Richard Dunn sports centre is due to be replaced by a new leisure centre on the Sedbergh Playing Fields site between Cleckheaton Road and Huddersfield Road. The new centre will feature a 25m pool, an eight-court sports hall, an 80-station fitness suite, dance studios, and outdoor pitches for football and rugby, but no major cycling facilities.
When discussing the district's cycling facilities, B-Spoke's action plan says: "Closure of the Richard Dunn Sports Centre will deprive Bradford of a very important cycling hub, if a replacement is not provided. Richard Dunn hosts a broad range of vital cycling activity for Bradford and beyond; not to mention non-cycling organisations and wheelchair athletes.
"As part of the legacy of Le Grand Depart, 2014, similar facilities have been opened in York, Elland, Wakefield and Leeds. This has led to the development of the White Rose Youth League, who train on the Richard Dunn circuit. It would be very disappointing for Bradford, as the pioneers of this provision, to lose its place in the league."
It calls for Bradford to develop a "national standard velodrome" to replace Richard Dunn.
The plan also says the Council should "take a risk" by closing off roads to cars on some days. It adds: "traffic free days should not be damaging to the local economy and could bring many health and social benefits if Bradford Council were prepared to take the risk."
It also suggests that the annual City Cycle event could be "developed into a bigger and better event" in future years.
The committee has been asked to note the report, and for officers to attend B-Spoke's quarterly meetings. The committee meets at 5.30pm in City Hall.

For those who have white polskie meble uk, you know that it might be a challenge to take care of it on the lookout carefully clear and white. If only you may possibly ban grime, dust and accidental spills out of your home – what a globe that would be! In truth, these things materialize, which means you should understand how to scrub them effectively. Numerous industrial cleaners comprise bleach and severe harmful substances which could harm your wood or white upholstery, but likelihood is higher you have some all-natural cleansing solutions already as aspect of the pantry. Listed here actually certainly are a handful of selfmade cleaning strategies you can use that will help keep your white furnishings seeking it is actually finest.
• Carpet Cleaner: Blend cup Borax, cup white vinegar and salt suitable into a paste. Rub paste in into the carpet and permit to sit down numerous hrs or till dry after which vacuum.
• All-Purpose Scouring Powder: Sprinkle baking soda for the surface to become cleaned and rub carefully making use of a moist sponge.
• Eradicating Water Rings: Employing a humid cloth, thoroughly rub mayonnaise or toothpaste into your ingesting h2o stain. Following the ring is taken out your finish ground from the wooden must be buffed to eliminate any residue.
• White Household furniture Polish for Varnished Wood: Merge cup warm h2o with 4-5 drops of lemon oil. Spray this combination onto a cotton cloth, using scarcely adequate for making the fabric a little bit moist. Wipe down all varnished surfaces using the moist fabric, and adhere to by wiping which has a clean dry cloth.
• Polish for Unvarnished Wood: Combine 2 tsp. lemon juice with two tsp. pure olive oil. Utilize a modest quantity of money of this combination to some comfortable cotton fabric and wring very well to spread the polish via the cloth. Carry out to home furnishings functioning with wide strokes to evenly distribute the polish.
• Stain Remover for Products: Mix one tbsp. liquid dish detergent with just one tbsp. glycerin and eight tbsp. ingesting drinking water. Implement numerous this option into your stain right absent and blot working with a clean up up cloth. Repeat ideal right up until stain is taken out. Use scorching drinking h2o for greasy stains and chilly h2o for each issue else.
• Straightforward Upholstery Cleaner: Blend cup delicate liquid detergent with 3 tbsp. h2o proper right until foamy. Benefit from a delicate cotton material to rub foam into upholstery and rinse with a clean up up moist sponge.
Stories have shown that making use of all-natural cleaners is healthier to suit your needs personally, your own home furnishings as well as the surroundings. In addition for that cleansing formulation outlined previously mentioned, it's also recommended to keep cornstarch and simple white vinegar on hand. Vinegar is nice for removing grease, mildew, odors and wax build-up from surfaces. You could possibly use cornstarch to wash glass, polish furnishings ans shampoo rugs.

Happy the 2nd day of 2018 ;)
Coat (old) - great options here, here and here | Sweater: Lou and Grey in xs | Jeans: COH tts | Booties: Ann Taylor tts (in love!) | Scarf (old) - similar styles here, here and here | Necklace: set of 2 mixed and matched w/this set
I decided to take a few last days of 2017 off even though I did have a few outfits left to share. This being one of them. I might go ahead and do one blog post with the "last outfits of 2017". What do you think?
Most exciting things happening in January?
1) Closet tour post with some details on how my husband built it
(if you have any questions/details you'd like included about the closet leave it in the comments below)
2) Beach vacation ha 😺
I'm so ready to escape this freezing weather for a week.
The upcoming vacay 🌞 got me excited to add just a couple hot weather pieces, including a pair of Splendid slides (can you guess which ones I got? They should be here this week so I'll take a good picture of them on and share my initial thoughts).
Second thing I've been looking at are One piece Swimsuits (ton of options, I sort by price). Loving them still. I really love Kate Spade swim pieces (I have one very similar to this one. Mine is in Small). I actually love all the ones with scalloped details, so pretty!
I'd love to hear what you're looking forward to in 2018!
Hope this year is off to an amazing start for you!

Are your dishes coming out of the dishwasher nearly as dirty as they went in? You could have a water pressure problem. If you ruled out a problem with the water pressure coming from your water lines, the problem could be in the pressure switch.
The pressure switch is a sensor that checks to see if enough water has entered into the tub and then cuts off the supply when that requirement is met. A faulty or failed pressure switch can turn off the water sooner than needed, which can leave you with dirty dishes.
If you feel comfortable performing appliance repairs, replacing a pressure switch isn't a difficult task. Don't feel comfortable at any step in the process? Call in an appliance service repairs company.
Things You Need:
Step 1: Turn Off Supply Lines
Turn off all electricity and water supply lines that tie into the dishwasher using the circuit breaker and the shut-off valve, respectively.
Place an empty bucket under the area where the water supply line connects to the shut-off valve. Twist the connecting point between the line and valve with a wrench until the line comes free. Some water will spill, but the bucket should catch it.
Disconnect the dishwasher's drain hose from either the sink drain or the garbage disposal. The hose should twist off easily with a wrench. Feed the hose through the hole in the cabinet so that it doesn't get snagged up when you remove the dishwasher.
Step 2: Unhook the Electrical Wires
Locate the lower access panel on the front of your dishwasher. Use a screwdriver to remove the fasteners holding the panel in place. You're now looking at the inner access panel. Use the screwdriver to remove the inner access panel's fasteners and carefully pull the access panel away, watching for sharp edges, and set it aside.
Now you're at the junction box cover. Remove its fasteners and pull the cover away and set aside.
Take a picture of the wires you now see to remember the location. Disconnect the wires by simply using your fingers to twist off the wire nuts, which look a bit like caps, and then removing the nut that's holding the wire bundle in place.
Step 3: Pull Out the Dishwasher
Remove the mounting screws on the interior of the dishwasher, which are the screws holding the entire unit in place. Make sure you have assistance standing by when you start this step.
Pull the dishwasher clear of the cabinet to perform the repair using assistance if the unit is too heavy for you to move on your own.
There is a panel of insulation on the side of the unit. Lift up that insulation and drape it over the top of the unit for safekeeping.
Step 4: Unhook Old Switch
Locate the pressure switch and note the notch below it, which is what fastens the switch into place. Press your screwdriver into the notch until you feel a switch give and then pull the switch free.
Take a picture of the wires on the pressure switch if you're worried about forgetting the position. Use a pair of pliers to unhook the wires. Use the pliers to twist the clamp off the attached pressure hose and then pull off the pressure hose.
Step 5: Install New Switch and Put Everything Back
Install the new switch by attaching first the pressure hose and its fastener and then the wires. Insert the pressure switch back into its position and make sure its fastener has triggered. Return the insulation layer and then return the dishwasher to its spot in the cabinets. Reattach the mounting screws making sure the screws are all present and secured tightly.
Reconnect the junction box wires and then its cover. Return the covers to the other access panels making sure all of the fasteners are secure.
Put the drain hose back on the sink or dishwasher and then reconnect the supply line to the shutoff valve. Turn on the electricity and water supplies.

Hi! I'm Adam Burkhard. As a young lad, I never paid much attention to the cleanliness of my environment. Once my first son was born, however, I started scouring the house top to bottom to create the cleanest environment possible. Unfortunately, during that time, I uncovered a serious mold problem in my home. The problem was so bad, it caused my newborn son to develop an allergic reaction. We instantly hired professionals to remove the mold and restore our home to new. Since I was interested in the process, I followed along with each step to learn more. I want to use this site to give people hope about the ability to remove mold without a trace. It's definitely possible to restore a home after mold takes hold behind the walls or under the flooring. I hope you learn lots about mold remediation services from my site.

Steam-assisted gravity drainage
Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is an enhanced oil recovery technology for producing heavy crude oil and bitumen. It is an advanced form of steam stimulation in which a pair of horizontal wells are drilled into the oil reservoir, one a few metres above the other. Low pressure steam is continuously injected into the upper wellbore to heat the oil and reduce its viscosity, causing the heated oil to drain into the lower wellbore, where it is pumped out.
In the SAGD process, two parallel horizontal oil wells are drilled in the formation, one about 4 to 6 metres above the other. The upper well injects steam, possibly mixed with solvents, and the lower one collects the heated crude oil or bitumen that flows out of the formation, along with any water from the condensation of injected steam. The basis of the process is that the injected steam forms a "steam chamber" that grows vertically and horizontally in the formation. The heat from the steam reduces the viscosity of the heavy crude oil or bitumen which allows it to flow down into the lower wellbore. The steam and gases rise because of their low density compared to the heavy crude oil below, ensuring that steam is not produced at the lower production well. The gases released, which include methane, carbon dioxide, and usually some hydrogen sulfide, tend to rise in the steam chamber, filling the void space left by the oil and, to a certain extent, forming an insulating heat blanket above the steam. Oil and water flow is by a countercurrent, gravity driven drainage into the lower well bore. The condensed water and crude oil or bitumen is recovered to the surface by pumps such as progressive cavity pumps that work well for moving high-viscosity fluids with suspended solids.
Usually sub-cool is the term used to describe the difference between the saturation temperature (boiling point) of water at the producer pressure and the actual temperature at the same place where the pressure is measured. The higher the liquid level above the producer the lower the temperature and higher is the sub-cool. However real life reservoirs are invariably heterogeneous therefore it becomes extremely difficult to achieve a uniform sub-cool along the entire horizontal length of a well. As a consequence many operators, when faced with uneven stunted steam chamber development, allow small quantity of steam to enter into the producer to keep the bitumen in the entire wellbore hot hence keeping its viscosity low with the added benefit of transferring heat to colder parts of the reservoir along the wellbore. Another variation sometimes called Partial SAGD is used when operators deliberately circulate steam in the producer following a long shut-in period or as a startup procedure. Though a high value of sub-cool is desirable from a thermal efficiency standpoint as it generally includes reduction of steam injection rates but it also results in slightly reduced production due to a corresponding higher viscosity and lower mobility of bitumen caused by lower temperature. Another drawback of very high sub-cool is the possibility of steam pressure eventually not being enough to sustain steam chamber development above the injector, sometimes resulting in collapsed steam chambers where condensed steam floods the injector and precludes further development of the chamber.
Operating the injection and production wells at approximately reservoir pressure eliminates the instability problems that plague all high-pressure steam processes and SAGD produces a smooth, even production that can be as high as 70% to 80% of oil in place in suitable reservoirs. The process is relatively insensitive to shale streaks and other vertical barriers to steam and fluid flow because, as the rock is heated, differential thermal expansion causes fractures in it, allowing steam and fluids to flow through. This allows recovery rates of 60% to 70% of oil in place, even in formations with many thin shale barriers. Thermally, SAGD is twice as efficient as the older cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) process, and it results in far fewer wells being damaged by high pressure. Combined with the higher oil recovery rates achieved, this means that SAGD is much more economic than pressure-driven steam process where the reservoir is reasonably thick. [1]
Invention and development
The gravity drainage idea was originally conceived by Dr. Roger Butler, an engineer for Imperial Oil around 1969. But it wasn't until 1975 when Imperial Oil moved him from Sarnia, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta to head their heavy oil research effort that he pursued the concept. He tested the concept with Imperial Oil in 1980, in a pilot at Cold Lake, Alberta which featured one of the first horizontal wells in the industry, with vertical injectors. The latter were established to be inefficient by research at the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) in the early '80s. This resulted in the first test of twin (horizontal) well SAGD, at their Underground Test Facility (UTF) in the Athabasca Oil Sands, which proved the feasibility of the concept, briefly achieving positive cash flow in 1992 at a production rate of about 2000 bbl/day from 3 well pairs.
The original UTF SAGD wells were drilled horizontally from a tunnel in the limestone underburden, accessed with vertical mine shafts. The concept coincided with development of directional drilling techniques that allowed companies to drill horizontal wells accurately, cheaply and efficiently, to the point that it became hard to justify drilling a conventional vertical well any more. With the low cost of drilling horizontal well pairs, and the very high recovery rates of the SAGD process (up to 60% of the oil in place), SAGD is economically attractive to oil companies.
Current applications
This technology is now being exploited due to increased oil prices. While traditional drilling methods were prevalent up until the 1990s, high crude prices of the 21st Century are encouraging more unconventional methods (such as SAGD) to extract crude oil. The Canadian oil sands have many SAGD projects in progress, since this region is home of one of the largest deposits of bitumen in the world (Canada and Venezuela have the world's largest deposits).
The SAGD process allowed the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) to increase its proven oil reserves to 179 billion barrels, which raised Canada's oil reserves to the second highest in the world after Saudi Arabia and approximately quadrupled North American oil reserves.
As in all thermal recovery processes, cost of steam generation is a major part of the cost of oil production. Historically, natural gas has been used as a fuel for Canadian oil sands projects, due to the presence of large stranded gas reserves in the oil sands area. However, with the building of natural gas pipelines to outside markets in Canada and the United States, the price of gas has become an important consideration. The fact that natural gas production in Canada has peaked and is now declining is also a problem. Other sources of generating heat are under consideration, notably gasification of the heavy fractions of the produced bitumen to produce syngas, using the nearby (and massive) deposits of coal, or even building nuclear reactors to produce the heat.
A source of large amounts of fresh and brackish water and large water re-cycling facilities are required in order to create the steam for the SAGD process. Water has often been mentioned in the popular media as a constraint on development, but, according to Alberta Environment, in the oil sands areas less than 5% of the river flows are committed to current or proposed oil projects, and there are few farms or urban centers to compete with them. However, some competing reports say that the proposed excavation of the oilsands will completely deplete the flow from the Athabasca River and that although the oilsands reserves are promising, there is not enough water in Canada to process them under the current processing parameters.
Relying upon gravity drainage, SAGD also requires comparatively thick and homogeneous reservoirs, and so is not suitable for all heavy-oil production areas.
Different processes are still being developed. Derivative processes are being developed including SAGP and ES-SAGD in which non condensable / condensable gas is mixed with the steam.
Alternative methods
Alternative enhanced oil recovery mechanisms include VAPEX (for Vapor Extraction), Electro-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process (ET-DSP), and ISC (for In Situ Combustion). VAPEX uses solvents instead of steam to displace oil and reduce its viscosity. ET-DSP is a patented process that uses electricity to heat oil sands deposits to mobilize bitumen allowing production using simple vertical wells. ISC uses oxygen to generate heat that diminishes oil viscosity; alongside carbon dioxide generated by heavy crude oil displace oil toward production wells. One ISC approach is called THAI for Toe to Heel Air Injection.

Charles (L. Frambach) (Charles-Francois Bertin) Berlitz (1914-2003) Biography - OBITUARY NOTICE—
triangle books language languages
See index for SATA sketch: Born November 22, 1914, in New York, NY; died December 18, 2003, in Tamarac, FL. Linguist and author. The grandson of the founder of the famous Berlitz language schools, Berlitz was a former president of Berlitz Publications who later became well known for his books on such bizarre topics as the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, UFOs, and secret military experiments. Learning a variety of languages from his family at a very young age, he naturally went on to study languages as a student at Yale University, where he earned an A.B. in 1936. It is also unsurprising that his career began as a language teacher at the Berlitz Schools of Language in New York City in 1934. After serving in the U.S. Army Reserve as an intelligence officer during World War II, Berlitz became president of Berlitz Publications, where he remained until the company was bought out in 1967 by another publisher. He spent the rest of his life as a freelance writer, continuing to teach himself new languages while pursuing interests in archaeology and the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis. He wrote on these subjects in such books as The Mystery of Atlantis (1969), The Bermuda Triangle (1974), Without a Trace: New Information from the Triangle (1977), Atlantis, the Eighth Continent (1984), and The Dragon's Triangle (1989). He also wrote about UFOs in The Roswell Incident (1980), the mystery of the location of Noah's Ark in The Lost Ship of Noah: In Search of the Ark at Ararat (1987), and other unusual subjects in such books as The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility (1979) and Doomsday: 1999 A.D. (1981). While critics often found fault with Berlitz's theories of the unexplained, his contributions to language education cannot be denied; he was the author or coauthor of over fifty books on teaching foreign languages, and he helped develop foreign language programs on audiotape for young students and established business courses in languages for adults.

Throughout life, we are posed with difficult questions: Backstreet Boys or Nsync? Dogs or cats? Fresh Prince or Full House?
And in the beauty world, no debate has been as complex as the ever so pressing issue: Birchbox or Ipsy?
Now that I have subscribed to both, I am excited to compare the two and share my thoughts on the products I received in April. It was a pretty good month for both beauty services, but there can only be one winner!
Before jumping right into the products, I wanted to touch on a few things in case you're unfamiliar with Birchbox and/or Ipsy. They are beauty subscription services that provide you with samples (usually 4-5 items) for $10 a month (free shipping!). The products are supposed to be catered toward your preferences based on the information you provide when you sign up.
For both services, there is a monthly theme. For Ipsy, it was influenced by the musical festivals of the season. For Birchbox, it was all about rainy days – influenced by the saying, "April showers bring May flowers." (Though I live in Southern California, so that's not quite the case!)
While Ipsy's makeup bag is like a free bonus, one thing I enjoy about Birchbox is the information card that overviews the products. It is really helpful, so I just wish the Ipsy glam bag came with one as well.
Now, onto the products! Let's start with Ipsy.
The most interesting product in my glam bag was probably the City Color mousse eye shadow in White Gold. I've never used mousse eye shadow, so the consistency was new to me. It was creamy and blended well. I used just a tiny amount in my inner corners and dabbed some on my cheekbones for highlight. A little bit goes a long way so this will probably last me a while.
Would I purchase? No. I still prefer pressed eyeshadow.
I was super happy to receive Urban Decay's 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil and even happier it was in black, and not a forrest green or icy blue.
The formula was amazing! The product glided on like butter and it was so pigmented. I have oily eyelids and was certain this would be a hot mess on me, but after five hours it pretty much stayed put! It had only smudged around the outer corners of my eyes. Because this eyeliner is ideal for a smokier look (which I don't do), I liked using this most as a tightline. And if you do want to smudge this liner, work fast!
Would I purchase? Yes.
Aside from Urban Decay, I was also pleased to see another brand I like in my Ipsy bag. This is Benefit's lollitint which is a "candy-orchid" color. It can be worn on your lips and cheeks.
Application was tricky. I followed Benefit's instructions on dotting and blending out the product on my cheeks, but it was far too liquidy and sheer on my skin. I found that it also peeled off my foundation which left me with a huge patch on my face.
If anything, it stained my fingertips more than my cheeks. Bummer. As for my lips, it was still way too sheer. And it tasted awful.
Would I purchase? Absolutely not.
Y'all know I love trying out lip products, so I was happy to receive Cailyn's tinted lip balm in "Acid Pink." And I finally realized why the container was shaped that way.
Ta-da! A lip brush. I usually don't apply my lip products with a brush, but this was very necessary.
Look at that pigmentation! Although this is supposed to be "tinted," this is that presidential limousine type of tint, if you ask me! This lasted pretty much all day on me and did not bleed. I only touched up after five hours because that's what I normally do.
Would I purchase? Yes!
Lastly, I got these Kiss lashes in the style "Shy."' I haven't tried these yet because I haven't had anywhere special to go, so I didn't want to waste these in case they weren't reusable. However, I do like that they came with the glue included and I like that they are more natural looking. Can't wait to try 'em!
Birchbox time!
In three months, this was my first time getting food from Birchbox. I know some people don't like receiving snacks (I think there is a way to cancel that option), but fortunately this was a good experience for me. These were a nice balance of sweet and salty, though I didn't like the texture much – reminded me of stale granola.
Would I purchase? Maaaybe.
Next up is Davine's OI All In One Milk which claims to add shine, softness, silkiness, body, and moisture to your hair without weighing it down. I sprayed this on after a shower and although it did leave my fine hair with softness and shine, the smell was just way too strong; it reminded me of Axe body spray. It lingered for two hours and nearly gave me a headache.
Would I purchase? No.
Another reason people tend to shy away from Birchbox is because of the frequent perfume samples they receive. I don't really mind getting perfume, and there is a way to limit the amount Birchbox sends you. This month, I got Atelier Cologne's Cherie Blossom and I love it! Very fresh and citrusy and the scent warmed up on my skin the longer I wore it.
Would I purchase? Yes.
If it isn't already obvious, I have
an obsession an appreciate for nail polish. However, I was disappointed when I received this Color Club polish – not because of the color or the brand, but the finish. It's a "luxe pearl" which is a frosty kind of finish that I can't stand on my nails. So much so, I didn't even want to try this at all. Huge miss.
Would I purchase? No thanks. Luxe pearl = yucks, hurl.
Finally, we have theBalm Cosmetic's cheek and lip tint in "Pie." Okay, can we please talk about how cute this little thing is? Love the concept as well. As for the product, it was super smooth and blendable; I could lightly swirl my finger in the pan and it would give me enough color to put on my cheeks. This also didn't drag on my skin or peel off my foundation, which was impressive for a cream product. Because the color is a little more red than I'm used to wearing as a blush, I preferred this on my lips.
Would I purchase? If it wasn't part of a palette, maybe.
The Final Verdict:
Overall, I would have to say this month's winner is Ipsy. I felt like the products were more suited to my personal preferences and they were things I was actually interested in trying/using. I also thought that for $10, Ipsy's April glam bag had better value; the eyeshadow and tinted lip balm were both full sized items. Also, the Urban Decay liner was an amazing size for a sample. If this month is any indication of how future glam bags will go, I think this will be a long term relationship I have with Ipsy.
How did your Birchbox/Ipsy turn out? Let me know in the comments! Also let me know if you'd like to see more posts like this in the future! :)

About 25 million people around the world eat insects
|Grub Worms alternative sources of protein
|Grub Worms alternative sources of protein
The Treehugger website that: "The research and development of insect-based food additive used to increase the protein content of burgers and chicken nuggets, This is not hard to imagine things. Chain stores the name of 'higher levels of protein', 'healthy fats ', and of' ecological Hamburg 'slogan sales use hamburger meat made of treated insects. " 80% of the countries in the world, insects as food, human regular consumption of more than 1000 kinds of insect species. And livestock, insects only need a small space, feeding, use of natural lighting, garbage, paper and algae can act as feed in a closed building. Prior to this, the United Nations and the European Union in favor of the development of insect food practices for addressing the food shortage. Some scholars believe that the economic and environmental costs faced by raising livestock means turning to the insect will become an inevitable approach. It is estimated that by the end of this decade, edible insects will become very common. Wageningen University Professor Marcel - Dick said: "What is most important is to let people be psychologically prepared for the gradual acceptance of the idea. Since 2020, left to our choice is not much."

During a business continuity audit an IS auditor found that the business continuity plan (BCP)
covered only critical processes. The IS auditor should:
recommend that the BCP cover all business processes.
assess the impact of the processes not covered.
report the findings to the IT manager.
redefine critical processes.
The business impact analysis needs to be either updated or revisited to assess the risk of not
covering all processes in the plan. It is possible that the cost of including all processes might exceed
the value of those processes; therefore, they should not be covered. An IS auditor should
substantiate this by analyzing the risk.

- 225g plain flour
- 2 x 140ml tubs soured cream
- 100g golden caster sugar

- 100g mixed nuts, roughly chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. each bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon
- Pinch of salt

Melt 15g of the butter. Mix with the case sugar, nuts and cinnamon and set to one side.
Mix the rest of the butter with the brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Sift in the flour, salt and bicarb and stir to combine. Stir in the soured cream and then fold in the rhubarb. Pour into the baking tin.

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship match stole the show Sunday night at the Royal Rumble.
And not just because WWE dished out one of the worst Royal Rumble matches ever.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will defend his title against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
And, as a result of the Royal Rumble post-show, it looks like John Cena will face Rusev.
Those are two solid WrestleMania matches.
Sadly, though, Reigns' image took a major hit from the always-brutal Philadelphia crowd.
However, this was not Reigns' fault.
Whoever decided to put Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble, in Philadelphia, and have him tossed out like yesterday's garbage should have known that was not going to go over well with the live crowd, or the audience at home.
Thankfully, WWE has some time to right itself.
But, cheers for Lesnar have been building for a few weeks.
We might be looking at Batista all over again, although Reigns isn't a part-timer like Batista was.
WWE could turn Reigns heel after Lesnar will likely get a babyface reaction at WrestleMania.
Or, WWE can just let the match play out.
Assuming Lesnar is leaving after WrestleMania, it doesn't really even matter how the crowd reacts in that one.
Reigns has plenty of time for character direction. He's young.
Let's just hope his character hasn't suffered permanent damage.
Let's review:
The Royal Rumble match
1. The Miz. Eighth Royal Rumble match.
2. R-Truth. Seventh Royal Rumble match.
3. Bubba Ray Dudley. First surprise. First Royal Rumble match. Good early pop for the match. Huge "ECW" and "tables" pops. Wow. Great teamwork by Dudley and R-Truth.
4. Luke Harper. Second Royal Rumble match. No one has ever won from the No. 4 spot. Bully is getting more pops than he got combined in his TNA Wrestling career. Kidding, but he got a very nice reception.
5. Bray Wyatt. Interesting staredown with Bully Ray. Entrance here shows WWE has high hopes for him, as he lasted awhile.
6. Curtis Axel. First wasted entrant of the night. Glad Erick Rowan disposed of him. That was great. Cool reunion of The Wyatt Family.
7. The Boogeyman. Cool staredown with Bray Wyatt. Quick disposal. Crowd doesn't seem to care.
8. Sin Cara. Another easy victim for Wyatt, who then called out the entire roster. High hopes continue.
9. Zack Ryder. This is getting worse, although Ryder has a decent fan base. Another quick toss-out.
10. Daniel Bryan. Yes! Match got a much-needed pickup. Tough for Bryan to win from this spot. Pace yourself, Daniel son.
11. Fandango. I'm fine with this entrant. Good spot for him. Cool airplane spin by Bryan on Fandango.
12. Tyson Kidd. Ugh. Really? While Kidd deserves a spot, he had an earlier match. This was a surprise entrant. Good back-and-forth with Bryan and Kidd, though.
13. Stardust. Wise to have another athletic entrant with this group still remaining. Cool move of Bryan going through the middle rope to land on Wyatt.
14. Diamond Dallas Page. Great to see DDP in a WWE ring again. Got some moves in on Stardust and Fandango. Diamond Cutter on Wyatt! Wow!
15. Rusev. Two smart, quick eliminations by Rusev in DDP and Fandango. Solid three in ring with Bryan, Rusev and Wyatt. Bryan eliminated by Wyatt? Wow. This was a shock. Hilarious "Daniel Bryan" chants minutes later.
16. Goldust. Looks like we'll finally get Stardust-Goldust at Mania.
17. Kofi Kingston. Still waiting for a big move.
18. Adam Rose. Longest entrance ever. Great spot by Kingston being caught by Rose's group. Not Kingston's top Rumble move ever, but it suffices. Really, though, for Kingston's standards, it was horrible. Smart elimination via Rusev.
19. Roman Reigns. Here come the big entrants. This crowd is killing this match. They hate that Bryan was eliminated.
20. Big E. Good big man spot for Big E. Match will fill up with wrestlers now.
21. Damien Mizdow. Crowd pop. Awesome to have The Miz try to stop Mizdow, and then enter the match! Way too quick of an elimination. Horrible.
22. Jack Swagger. Glad to see fans still like him. Maybe WWE will take notice.
23. Ryback. Good spot here for a fan favorite. This helped fill up the ring some. And quiet the angry crowd.
24. Kane. What a great career he has had.
25. Dean Ambrose. Ring starting to fill up.
26. Titus O'Neil. Somewhat of a surprise, but I'm glad he made the field. What a wasted toss-out by Ambrose and Reigns. And it was botched. Santino Marella's record is still safe.
27. Bad News Barrett. Remember his stable? Barrett is a big-time player.
28. Cesaro. It would have been stupid to not have the winner of the Andre The Giant memorial battle royal in this match. Rusev piling up the eliminations, with Big E going out.
29. Big Show. Wise for the roster to go after Big Show, and smart to have Kane/Big Show work together.
30. Dolph Ziggler. What a year for Ziggler. Crowd favorite at this point. Surprising elimination tease by Cesaro on Ziggler. Crowd way behind Ziggler. Just like that, Ziggler is out via Kane. Wow. Unbelievable. Bye-bye, Wyatt. Another surprise, but at least it's by Big Show.
We're down to Big Show, Kane, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Ambrose is out. That was fast.
The crowd is booing, Reigns tosses both men out, and the crowd still boos.
Then, Michael Cole says, "Looking back at my notes, Rusev is still in the match." Really, Cole? Why didn't you mention this minutes ago? Thanks alot.
No wonder the live crowd was chanting, "We want Rusev."
Then, The Rock makes the save for Reigns, who is taking a beating from Big Show and Kane.
The Rock was clearly brought in to take off the crowd heat on Reigns' win.
The crowd really wanted Bryan to win.
Horrible Royal Rumble match.
If WWE wanted Reigns to win, this wasn't the way to do it.
Why have Bryan in this match if he wasn't going to win?
Everything went sour when Bryan was tossed.
I don't get this.
That said, Reigns vs. Lesnar is the best match for WWE for WrestleMania.
Dominating champion vs. top hope as dominating star.
I just don't like how WWE had Reigns win.
As for the Royal Rumble, we didn't get Bo Dallas or Randy Orton. We also didn't get Sheamus or Devon.
But, really, that's two big names that shouldn't have been in the match (like Bryan) and two guys that really didn't need a spot (Dallas, Devon).
I'm also surprised we had no NXT guys. None. Not one. Another horrible booking decision.
PICK: Incorrect. I had Bryan, who I said in my predictions the fans wanted to win. Believe me now? I'm 0-1.
Brock Lesnar beats John Cena and Seth Rollins. REACT: Hilarious pre-match segment with J&J Security playing video games. Love the fast pace and early domination by Lesnar. Bizarre to have J&J Security run in the ring so early. Bizarre and dangerous knee to the head by Rollins on Lesnar on the submission hold on Cena. Amazing domination by Lesnar. Why Cena and Rollins didn't work together earlier is beyond me. Incredible catch-in-the-air into the F5 move by Lesnar on Rollins. Great exchange of three AAs by Cena and a curb stomp by Rollins on Lesnar. Wow. Solid run-through-the-barrier move by Cena on Lesnar, followed by a ring steps barrier toss and a ring steps shot to the head. Physical match. Awesome flying table spot by Rollins on Lesnar, followed by some smart pin teases by Rollins on Cena. Strange to see Lesnar out so long for the stretcher. What a crazy flip move by Rollins, with Lesnar recovering all of a sudden. Finish came out of nowhere. It really did. But a great match that puts over the domination of Lesnar. It's not like that's difficult to portray. No appearance by Randy Orton, Sting or Sheamus, so we'll have to see if that happens on Raw. PICK: Correct. Lesnar winning was the right call. Use him while you still can. I'm 1-1.
Tyson Kidd/Cesaro beat Kofi Kingston/Big E. REACT: Injury to Xavier Woods dropped Woods and Adam Rose out of this one. Solid opener on the pre-show. The fans like this very athletic, heel team. PICK: Correct. Even though this became a tag-team match, I'm giving myself the win. I'm 2-1.
The Ascension beats The New Age Outlaws. REACT: Wise to have the rookies win this one. Nice pre-match pops for the veterans. Decent opening to show in what was an OK match. PICK: Correct. Easy one. I'm 3-1.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos beat The Miz/Damien Mizdow. REACT: Early highlight was The Miz throwing an Uso into the bottom rope, clothesline-style. Don't ever see that. Solid mid-match high spots over the top rope. Crowd really supported Mizdow, so having The Miz get pinned made sense. I'm surprised this was such a quiet match. PICK: Wrong. So much for pushing a great gimmick. I'm 3-2.
The Bella Twins beats Paige/Natalya. REACT: Impressive early double suplex on Brie Bella. So, when the crowd does a European football chant, I'm assuming they are bored. Yet, that chant isn't known for boredom. Very slow match. Scary-looking drop by Natalya on Nikki Bella, who popped right up after the move. Paige sure was held out of the ring a long time. Knockdown of Paige for the pin on Natalya ended up being a very aggressive, decisive win. PICK: Incorrect. I forgot. The Bellas don't lose. I'm 3-3.
ANALYSIS: Superb title match and a match-of-the-year candidate. Outside of a few cool moments, a horrible Royal Rumble match. Mainly the decision to have Bryan in the match and tossed out so early. No one can blame Reigns for this one. Hopefully, WWE will right itself with Reigns' win starting with Raw. The other matches weren't horrible, but they weren't great either. Not the best pay-per-view. GRADE: C.
Justin Gabriel out of WWE. REACT: Great athletic talent. It's a shame he's gone, but he really wasn't used much lately, or properly.

|Hopscotch Stones
|The steps leading to our patio
Did you love Hopscotch at a little kid? I know I did. I used to jump around all the time, from brick to brick and number to number.
Again, searching through Pinterest, I saw this great idea...how about making concrete squares into Hopscotch stepping stones.
We have a small area next to our patio that we walk through the dirt all the time. Stepping stones are the perfect solution there. And this was a cheap and creative way to make colorful, fun stepping stones.
The trickiest part of this project is the numbers. You can either paint the stones first in a solid color, then once dry you can paint the numbers on with white paint. I decided to go a different route. I purchased sticker paper at my local office supply store. I drew my numbers and cut them out.
The first thing I did was paint the top of the stones in white. I then peeled off the back of my sticker paper and put the numbers down on the stones. I then went hog wild spraying the stones in bight primary colors. Once the color was one I peeled up the numbers to find my perfect painted white numbers.
Concrete Pavers (however many numbers you want)
White Spray Paint for the base (the color of the numbers)
Spray Paint for the colors of the stones you want
Sticker Paper (8.5 x 11 - create your own labels: found at Staples)
1. Spray the tops of each steps in white
2. Draw and cut out your numbers on the sticker paper
3. Peel and stick the numbers onto the stones
4. Paint the tops and sides of each stone in the colors you want
5. Peel the stickers off and let dry
So fun and cute.

Singapore Citizens Income Trends
What is the income gap between the 20th percentile and 50th percentile? (Official data on other percentiles not available)
Source: Manpower Research and Statistical Department, Ministry of Manpower. 4th Quarter Reports on Employment Situation 2012-2014. The annual inflation rate is obtained from the Department of Statistics. Figures in Singapore Dollars.
- Data excludes full-time National Servicemen.
- The Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in 2005 due to the conduct of the General Household Survey 2005 by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Trade and Industry.
- As the income data are captured from a sample survey, the income changes for the 20th percentile nearer the end of the income spectrum tend to be more volatile over shorter (e.g. year-on-year) than longer periods (e.g. 5 or 10 years).

Northern Californians woke in the middle of the night to 4.4 magnitude earthquake that shook the San Francisco Bay Area.
The earthquake struck at 2:39 a.m. local time and was centered two miles outside Berkeley, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services announced via tweet that there were no immediate reports of damages.
The USGS said that a quake of this intensity typically would be felt by many indoors, likening the sensation to a "heavy truck striking a building." It also has the potential to damage dishes, windows and doors.
Transit agencies reported there may be delays in the morning commute while they check for any damage.
"Expect major delays with our first trains this morning," announced the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit. "Trains will be performing track inspections due to earlier seismic activity."

The Spear of Souls
The Village of Castilla
General Description: A large village that consists of a single street of minor local businesses, and several offshoots where the village members live.
Population: ~1200 humans
Size: Large village
Government: A small council (the Village Council) of 15 respected villagers help settle disputes that may arise. They also deal out punishment. If a major issue concerning the whole village arises, a village meeting may be called, where a representative from each farm or household may vote on the issue. These votes are called by the Village Council and those not in attendance simply forfeit their right to vote. These meetings tend to consist of about sixty to eighty representatives. This government is maintained by long tradition.
Defense: A small village militia of about 25 men guards the towns and occasionally act as enforcers for the Council's decisions. None of them have armor, and for weapons they use forge hammers, axes, and pikes made by the local smithy.
Commerce: The villagers trade heavily amongst themselves, and also regularly with the traders that bring goods from nearby towns and villages. Common items that anyone might need are available. Simple weapons like daggers and clubs may be requested at the smithy, but have not been already made. If in need, one could find a shortbow for purchase.
-Shops: A tailor, a blacksmith, two inns/taverns, a butcher, a cobbler, a "general store" (items are come and go, what the shopkeeper has recently traded for, etc. Accepts coin and other items as payment.
Notable Locations: An small noble's manor rests just outside of the village and has been abandoned for nearly two decades. The minor noble that used to administer the village died and a new one was never sent to replace him. Although the villagers have no idea as to why they were not sent a new noble, they have had no trouble to life without their lord.
Town Opinions: They greatly enjoy being free of paying the taxes the noble once imposed, but they remember the protection from bandits the noble's garrison once offered and they wish the king had sent them another noble to replace the one they lost. Over the years the attacks from bandits have grown increasingly bad as more and more of them realize the town is unprotected by trained soldiers. It is for this reason that they eagerly offered our party of adventurers this position, although they are a conservative bunch who will not make anything official until they are sure their new protectors are good for the job.

New in Theaters November 20: Hunger Games Mockingjay, Part 2, The Night Before, Secret in Their Eyes
By Chris Kavan - 11/19/15 at 06:58 AM CT
For the last two weeks, Spectre and The Peanuts Movie have had the run of things. But James Bond is certainly going to meet his match in Katniss Everdeen as the final Hunger Games film bows and should have no trouble dominating the box office. Aside from that, we also have a trio of grown men behaving badly in what looks like a pretty hilarious comedy and an under-the-radar American remake of a Spanish Oscar-winning film that has an excellent cast but that I have heard virtually nothing about. It's going to be a big weekend - likely dominated by one film (and a few more for support), we'll see if it will be good enough to break any records.
The weekend should be huge - at least for one film - we'll see if the leftovers can put up any kind of challenge to make the box office truly stand out. I'll be back on Sunday with the final results.

Jefferson-Madison Regional Library Director to RetirePosted: Updated:
The director the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library is retiring.
John Halliday, who has been the director of the public library since 1997, recently announced that he will be retiring at the end of the year.
Library Board President Brian LaFontaine said Halliday be "sorely missed," and that his work has helped shape the library system into what it is today.
The Library Board of Trustees and Halliday will meet in late May to discuss the process of hiring a new library director. The process is expected to take about six months.
Release from the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library:
Director of Jefferson-Madison Regional Library John Halliday announced he will retire at the end of the calendar year after 20 years of service.
Halliday has been the director of JMRL, one of Virginia's largest public libraries, since 1997.
Halliday said, "It has been an honor and a pleasure to help provide library services for the wonderful citizens of our area."
Library Board President Brian LaFontaine said, "Though we celebrate in his retirement, Director Halliday will be sorely missed. His vision, leadership and passion have helped develop JMRL into a library system of which we all should be proud. Under his administration we have seen state-of-the-art libraries constructed, the implementation of new technologies for our patron's use in their quest for knowledge, and a never-ending effort to improve the quality and accessibility of our services for all within the JMRL system. Director Halliday has brought JMRL to a new level of quality and respect."
The Library Board of Trustees and Halliday will meet in late May to discuss the process of hiring a new library director. The process will take about six months.
LaFontaine said, "We anticipate a nation-wide search with the objective of hiring the best qualified candidate." He added the Library Board will encourage applications from qualified in-house candidates.
Halliday received his graduate library degree from Rutgers University and came to JMRL from Washington State where he managed a county library. During his tenure at JMRL the use of library services saw tremendous growth. 2016 was the busiest year in the library's history based on the number of books checked out and the number of people attending library programs.
Halliday said, "Working with the library's staff, board, local governments, and citizens has been a great joy, but now it's time to do other things and make room for someone else to lead this terrific library system."
JMRL serves the City of Charlottesville along with Albemarle, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties.

Metal simplifies synthesis of antibody drugs
Rice University scientists develop 'universal cassette' to ease cancer drug design
HOUSTON – (Aug. 24, 2017) – Rice University scientists have developed a method to efficiently modify natural antibodies that can deliver drugs to target cells. Adding a little extra metal is the key.
Rice chemist Zachary Ball and graduate student and lead author Jun Ohata discovered that rhodium, a rare transition metal, can be a useful element in the design and preparation of antibody drug conjugates (treatments) that have become a standard tool for targeted delivery of drugs such as chemotherapeutics.
They developed a unique multimetallic protein that acts like an enzyme to catalyze the action of a wide variety of antibodies. The simple process will allow labs to test the relative function of a variety of antibody sources and antigen targets to see which will work best on a tumor cell.
The research appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The key to Ball and Ohata's design is having three rhodium complexes attached to specific sites of a protein that binds to the constant (Fc) antibody region. Once bound, this multimetallic peptide catalyzes site-specific attachment of therapeutic agents with minimal disruption to the antibody itself. The lab tested its complexes on breast cancer cells and confirmed that the modified antibodies retained their antigen-binding properties.
"The beauty of this catalyst is that it binds to the constant region of the antibody, so it should be broadly general for all human antibodies," said Ball, an associate professor of chemistry and director of Rice's Institute of Biosciences and Bioengineering. "We have a single, universal cassette system that plugs into antibodies to make drug conjugates fairly quickly and easily."
The technique is meant to simplify what has been a complicated path to antibody drug conjugates. "To do selective chemistry on natural antibodies without first engineering their sequences has been an unsolved problem," Ball said. "Purely random conjugation can be valuable, but it's hard to understand structure-activity relationships when you don't have a single structure; you get an ensemble of molecules with an ensemble of properties." He said homogeneous conjugates are more desirable from a regulatory perspective as well.
His lab has extensive experience with the interplay of proteins and transition metals, a group of elements in the center of the periodic table, including rhodium, with diverse chemical reactivity.
The rhodium complexes in Ball and Ohata's metalloprotein play multiple roles. "At least one of the rhodium complexes binds to and helps orient the system properly, and a second one does the bond-forming chemistry," Ball said.
"It's just a fascinating chemical problem," he said. "We've solved a lot of small-molecule selectivity problems, but when chemists move to bigger and bigger systems, the traditional approaches aren't sufficient."
"Our studies in the past have focused on doing the chemistry to put something onto proteins, but here we had to use the produced proteins in further biological studies, which we had never attempted to do before," Ohata said. "It took me almost two years to finish these biology-related experiments."
"We think of this as the frontier of chemical selectivity," Ball said. "We've got this massive molecule that weighs 150,000 kilodaltons. How do we find one hydroxyl group in that massive structure and do chemistry on it? These are the kind of fundamental things that chemists love to think about."
Ball's lab is beginning to work with Texas Medical Center collaborators to test the new catalyst. "We want to get these in the hands of clinicians and drug development people to see what these conjugates can do," he said.
The National Science Foundation and the Robert A. Welch Foundation supported the research.

I gave my notice at work a week ago.
After 3-plus years of working in public television, I'm moving on. As I came to this decision, a spider kept making a web on the driver's side window and mirror of my car. She did it three nights in a row. I'd drive to work (10 miles each way) and she'd hide behind the mirror until I got going, then she'd come out and wrap up her web and the insects in it for a tidy little breakfast.
Me, I ate my bagel with jam as I drove, keeping my eye on her as she bobbed in the wind.
I don't like spiders, as a rule. Except for Charlotte, and she's fictional. Mostly.
On day three, I started out driving more slowly than normal. I was getting attached to the spider, impressed by how strong the web was. I admit it. She was becoming a novelty, a part of my commuting act. Other people might carpool, but I had a spider. Other people might not park in a no man's land under a major bridge construction project, but hey. Did they have a talented-at-55-MPH spider?
Then it happened. I was watching her as I zoomed along Shepard Road. She was hanging on by one thin strand. Her routine was off. She hadn't left herself enough web to get back to the safety of the mirror.
So I had to say goodbye.
I don't have a snappy new job title, or anything remotely resembling full-time employment. And that's the plan. I'm going to attack my latest book with a lot more energy and time. I'm going to write it like I mean it and then go on to write another book with the determination of, um, someone who might not get the chance to write another.
You should write every book like it's your last. It may sound overly dramatic, but you won't be disappointed in yourself if you think like that.
What do you absolutely have to say?

Our Guest Speaker
On the 24th of October 2013 Mrs Casley came to our class to talk about her immigration story. She came from Argentina and she came to Australia when she was 21 in 1983 and she has been in Australia for 30 years now.
Mrs Casley's family came to Australia because the economy was bad in Argentina. In Argentina there main dance is the tango and there most popular sport is soccer and there food is mostly the same as Italian food. When Mrs Casley came to Australia she wasn't used to the Quiet sound because in Argentina they could use the horn whenever they wanted and there was always lots of noise.
Thank you Mrs Casley for coming to our class to talk about your immigration story.
Where did your family come from?
What is your immigration story?

Diplomat and popular broadcaster, Femi Segun, is dead. He died yesterday at Saint Nicholas Hospital,Lagos.
Femi , son of the celebrated writer,Mabel Segun, was involved in a power bike accident on Admiralty Road, Lekki Phase One, a week ago.
The power bike he was riding had rammed into a stationary car on the run.He was rushed to the hospital but died yesterday.He was a lover of power bikes.he was married to Yeni,first child of the late Afro beat King Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Although they later parted ways, they remained friends and had a daughter together.
When The Nation put a call through to his ex-wife Yeni Kuti, She was down cast and lost for words. After a moment of silence, she confirmed his death and simply added "I'm shocked."
She also confirmed that his daughter who schools in England, was already on her way Nigeria but had not been told of her father's death. His wife could not be reached at press time .
Before his death, Femi Segun had told The Nation that his wife was angry when she saw his new bike.

I once created Travel Antics as an average travel blog, an outlet to explore a divine wanderlust that I felt, a desperation to escape from the confines of daily life and discover the vast world, filled to the brim with possibilities. I've had the luxury of travelling to cities I've always dreamed of; Venice, Tokyo and Barcelona and I've loved every second of it. But, after dreaming and reading of adventures from writers like Elizabeth Gilbert whose crusade of exploration lead to eventual self-discovery, I realised one thing; it's all bollox.
I'll explain a little more. Dreaming of adventure and new places is all well and good, but there's one thing I fell in love with more than the Mona Lisa, or the Tokyo Tower; people. Regardless of if you travel to the ends of the Earth or just to the end of the road, it's the people you meet along the way who make the world the most magnificent place, and all the travellers out there will tell you it isn't over-crowded tourist attractions that you remember after you return, it's all those people from every corner of the world, whether they are a small toothless man from Cambodia, a CEO of a major corporation, a wacky character in bright clothes dancing on the streets of Paris, the local bartender who has a smile for anyone who walks through the door, or just someone working to make the world a slightly better place, it doesn't matter you are the people who make travel as amazing as it can possibly be.
I remember once talking to a woman in Japan at an information point in Tokyo. We chatted a while and she asked me where I am from, I told her London and she told me I was incredibly lucky to spend all my time there. She said she'd love to visit Abbey Road because of her love for the Beatles. I laughed at the irony. I'd spent most of my life dreaming of visiting her home city and seeing the home of anime for myself.
For this reason and many more I've decided to dedicate Travel Antics not only to my love of travel but primarily to the people of the world. Very soon there will be a digital magazine for you to read about all the people you could meet on your next adventure, from matchmakers in London to coffee makers in Phuket and beyond. And this blog will also start to feature more people from around the world and the stories they have to tell, so stay tuned. It's all coming your way very soon.
And let's face facts, the world is brimming with stories of reasons to fear those from different cultures and countries, wouldn't it be nice to have a place to read about the things that make us all the same… rather than focusing on the things that rip us apart. I think so!

Favourite Features
Instantly, I fell in love with the mood tracker. You use a sliding scale to tell the app how you're feeling and then it asks you questions to find out what you're feeling good about and maybe what lifestyle changes you could do to improve your mood. For me, for example, the app suggested I was drinking too much coffee and maybe that was why I was feeling anxious so it set me a goal to only have two cups of coffee a day. It also reminds you about all the good things that are going on in your life, like your relationship, your career, your family etc. so that when you are feeling down, you are reminded that these things are real and there.
Another feature that I am obsessed with is the 'Zen Garden' feature. This calming exercise allows for you to create your own Zen Garden to distract you when you are worried about something, or when you just need something calming to do. You can arrange rocks, plants, sea creatures (it's beach themed, so that's why!) in your own personalised Zen Garden and you have three which you can keep coming back to and tending to and you go on. I love having this as a creative outlet when I'm not feeling blogging – it's a pressure-less zone for your creativity. I also really love the Deep Muscle Relaxation and I find this most useful when I'm about to go to sleep. I just pop my headphones in and zone out.
Did It Help?
The app is designed for people with anxiety and depression and I really think that this can work as a temporary calming measure for people when they are having particularly bad days. For me, personally, it has helped me to be a calmer person. When I can sense than I'm going to panic about something, or something in life has got me down, I just log into the app and get lost in the fantastically designed beach world doing some of the exercises. And sometimes it's nice to be reminded that you're in a good relationship, you have a strong bond with your family and you have a great group of friends – no matter what your mental state.
I'm going to keep using this app because it's been exceptionally helpful to me, especially when travelling as I do suffer from mild travel anxiety. To listen to the Deep Muscle Relaxation and create my Zen Garden on a train has been very helpful in stopping me from completely freaking out about it and for that, I am very grateful to the app. If you feel like this is an app that could benefit you, then the lovely people at Thrive have given me a code so that you can download the app for free during the month of October. The code is 'STRESSFREE0917'. I don't benefit at all from you using this code – it's just a gift from the people at Thrive.
If this app sounds like something you need in your life, then you can download it here. Remember, use the code 'STRESSFREE0917' to get it for free this month!

|Can anyone help identify this tree disease and let me know if there is anything I can do to help stop or slow it?
Aug 26, 2015 9:16 AM CST
|Hi Nate, and welcome to ATP.
It would help us a lot to know where you live, at least the city and state/province? You can enter that info in your profile. Your location can give a good clue to what kind of tree diseases are prevalent in your area.
Also do you know what kind of tree it is? It looks to me as if this tree is growing lots of healthy new branches down below the affected trunk area. Does the bark always look like that? Or is it different down low where the healthy growth is? Can't tell from the pictures if the growths are making the bark fall off , or if the falling off of the bark makes the growths welcome.
It looks like some kind of fungal growth. Could you possibly cut or scrape off a couple and get a closer picture of them? If they come off easily, it may very well slow the spread of the fungus (if it is fungus) if you just remove the ones you can see. IF you do this be sure to put them straight into a sealed plastic bag so that they don't release spores into the air that might re-infect anything they land on.

|Thank you Elaine! Below are some answers to your questions:
Do you know what kind of tree it is? - I'm not sure what kind of tree it is. I tried doing some digging online with no luck.
It looks to me as if this tree is growing lots of healthy new branches down below the affected trunk area. Does the bark always look like that? - The bark is fairly dark everywhere else. The tan areas are just in the affected area.
Could you possibly cut or scrape off a couple and get a closer picture of them? - will do!
Thanks again for your help and for the warm welcome.
Aug 27, 2015 8:57 PM CST
|Hi Nate & to ATP!
Nate, it would also help a ton if we could get an ID on that tree. You already have some photos of it but it would be great if you could do some close ups of the leaves & unaffected bark & if you could get a shot of the entire tree & then post them in the ID forum here:
Tell them if the tree is evergreen or not.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others.

|Does anyone else think that is a type of scale insect in the photos? Possibly Pulvinaria regalis/Horse Chestnut Scale insects - they attack other types of trees as well.
@JRsbug can you take a look please?

Here's a term you probably haven't heard in a while: New Year's Resolutions. We know life happens, so those goals may drift away from your immediate focus. Nutrition and healthy living is usually at the top of everyone's list, so we chatted with our friend Kim Mahair to give some nifty tips and tricks to get those resolutions back on track.
1. Land the plane.
When it comes to sleep, quality is more important than quantity, and catching those valuable z's are imperative to your nutrition and well being. Have a pre-bedtime wind-down activity that doesn't include your phone or any other electronics. Try stretching, reading a book, or playing an instrument.
2. Have an identity crisis.
Be vegan one week and then pescatarian the next. Find new healthy foods and recipes that you are excited to try.
3. Consume sugar.
The kind that comes from fruits! If you have healthy natural sweetness in your diet you'll be less likely to reach for candy or sugary drinks. Honey and fresh squeezed juices are my go-tos.
4. Color your plate.
I'm constantly creating recipes and styling them to be shot. Many times I'll put together a dish with ingredients based on their colors and vibrancy and it always ends up being a nutritionally packed delicious meal!
5. Let go of the latte.
Coffee is probably playing a huge part in your issues with stress, skin, and mood. Believe it or not, the best thing to restore your pluck is good old-fashioned water.
