Driving courses
Driving courses available include:
Weekly Lessons
Block booking
Midway Pass Course
Semi-intensive Pass Course
One Week Pass Course
All the courses shown use the unique LD System of driving tuition. Details about each of these services is described below with advice on how to decide which service would best suit you and for the prices or information on how to book one of these courses please visit the prices page. Please note taking a course does not guarantee that you will pass, however, if you successfully complete all the targets in the LDC workbook it is highly probable that you will.
Weekly Lessons
Learning to drive, using the LD System, can be spread over several weeks and lessons can be booked individually or in a block at a discount.
Unlike the courses described below the LD driving skills videos and workbook are not included in the lesson price, but can be purchased separately. As an alternative to buying the driving skills videos you can rent them, for a nominal fee, directly from your local LDC instructor.
Midway Pass Course
(20 hours of driving lessons, the driving test and the LD DVD/Workbook)
For those who have already learned the basic control skills of driving we have the Midway Pass Course.
The in-car training provided is 20 hours on a one pupil to one instructor basis. (This includes 2 hours for attending the driving test). You need to allocate a further 8 hours to complete the home study, using the LD System DVD and workbook, bringing the total duration of this course to around 25 hours.
Semi-intensive Pass Course
(30 hours of driving lessons, the driving test and the LD DVD/Workbook)
The Semi-intensive Pass Course is identical in content to the One Week Pass Course (i.e. 30 hours etc) except the training is spread over two or more weeks to suit you and your instructor's schedule. This is the most successful form of intensive training . It is designed for people who want to pass the test quickly but at a comfortable pace.
The in-car training is 30 hours on a one to one basis. (This includes 2 hours to attend the test). You need to allocate a further 10 hours to complete the home study, using the LD System DVD and workbook, bringing the total duration of the course to around 40 hours.
One Week Pass Course
(30 hours of driving lessons, the driving test and the LD DVD/Workbook)
The One Week Pass Course usually starts on Sunday or Monday and finishes on Friday. It is ideal for those who are in a hurry, who could not otherwise find the time. The driving test would usually be organised to take place at the end of the week or during the following week depending on your personal preference. If you want a test at the end of the course you would need to book the course and pass the theory test well in advance of the required start date (i.e. at least one month in advance). However, occasionally short notice driving tests can be arranged but the best option is to buy one of our Theory Test Products and pass this part as quickly as possible.
The in-car training provided is 30 hours on a one pupil to one instructor basis. (This includes 2 hours for attending the driving test). You need to allocate a further 10 hours to complete the home study, using the LD System DVD and workbook, bringing the total duration of this course to around 40 hours.
How many hours will it take?
According to the latest Government survey people learning to drive in the UK buy on average 52 hours of professional driving lessons. From this you will appreciate it can easily cost you over a £1,000 to learn to drive and take up to a year to pass the practical driving test. With LDC's revolutionary LD System of driving tuition the average number of hours to pass the test is closer to 30 hours - a potential saving of up to 22 hours from the norm or about £450. This is why it is important to select the right driving school and training approach.
Weekly lessons versus intensive courses?
Taking just one driving lesson per week will help to spread out the training cost but you will end up paying far more in the long run and take several months to pass your test. This is because the first half of the next lesson is often wasted getting to where you were at the end of the previous one - thus it is like taking two steps forward and one step back. Also if you are taking weekly lessons without any clear targets to achieve or set test date to aim for the training loses any urgency and lessons tend to drift off course reducing its effectiveness even further. This is why intensive and semi-intensive courses are now proving far more popular. However, to do such courses successfully the training needs to be carefully structured and expertly delivered so that no time in the car is wasted - hence the development of the revolutionary LD System of driving tuition.
The LD System isn't only useful for intensive training it enables weekly lessons to be conducted in much the same way with clear targets to aim for thus saving time and speeding up progress. The LD System DVD video and workbook also helps to overcome the "two steps forward one step back" problem of weekly lessons by allowing you to revise your last lesson while preparing for the next. This is particularly true if the materials are also properly used by a family member or friend to provide complementary practice in between lessons with your driving instructor.

Collected Essays & Travel Writings
Lawrence Durrell
Edited and with an Introduction by James Gifford
Peter Baldwin, Foreword
Pages: 300 Size: 6x9
"This collection has a straightforward ambition: to redirect the interpretive perspective that readers bring to Lawrence Durrell's literary works by returning their attention to his short prose." – From the Introduction
Best known for his novels and travel writing, Lawrence Durrell defied easy classification within twentieth-century modernism. His anti-authoritarian tendencies put him at odds with many contemporaries—aesthetically and politically. However, thanks to a compelling recontextualization by editor James Gifford, these 38 previously unpublished or out-of-print essays and letters reveal that Durrell's maturation as an artist was rich, complex, and subtle. This edition promises to open up new approaches to interpreting his more famous works. Durrell fans will treasure this selection of rare nonfiction, while scholars of Durrell, Modernist literature, anti-authoritarian artists, and the Personalist movement will also appreciate Gifford's fine editorial work.
[T]he interest of this volume does not only lie in the immeasurable wealth of Durrellian archives that are brought to the reader's knowledge: it also sketches out the fascinating portrait of an artist engaged in the creative production of his generation so that readers of Shakespeare, Wordsworth, T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Richard Aldington, Cavafy, and Seferis will discover fascinating pieces of critical analysis where they may least have expected to.... The final part devoted to travel writing will similarly edify and stimulate both Durrell's readers and all those who seek to understand the refinements of the genre.

The leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband MP, launched the Labour Party's policy consultation process at the meeting of the National Policy Forum over the weekend.
The consultation process provides an opportunity for Labour Party members, supporters and politicians to engage with individuals, families, businesses, trade unions, charities, experts, idealists and realists to help prov ide direction for key policy priorities. You can watch Ed Miliband's speech at the launch by clicking here.
As part of the launch, the Labour Party published its policy consultation paper that sets out the overall purpose and some initial thoughts and questions to address. The process, to be led by Liam Byrne MP, covers four broad areas:
- How we grow our economy and ensure good jobs and a sustainable future?
- How we strengthen families, communities and relationships?
- How do we put power in people's hands, over politics and public services?
- How do we secure our country and contribute to a better world?
The Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East (LFPME) looks forward to engaging with its supporters to ensure that achieving peace in the Middle East, based on justice and respect of international law and human rights, features prominently in the response to the 'secure our country and contribute to a better world' question.
The LFPME believes that uphoiding international law and UN resolutions in the region is the best way to secure our country and contribute to a better, more just, more peaceful world. The Labour Government made some progress in pushing for peace in the Middle East and should be commended for being the first government to take action against goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank by refusing to allow them tariff reductions under the EU-Israel Trade Agreement and getting the supermarkets to agree to label them 'Produce of Israeli Settlements'. It was a step in the right direction but ultimately it was too little, too late.
Nevertheless, the prominence provided to the situation in the Middle East in the Labour Party over the last several months is very welcome. Currently, over 70 Labour MPs support the work of LFPME and during the summer, all the Labour leadership candidates underlined the importance of achieving peace the Middle East in statements provided to LFPME. You can read their statements by clicking here.
Since becoming leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband MP has reiterated his determination to do all he can to bring a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. In his statement to LFPME during the leadership contest he said "The lack of a credible peace process is helping no-one. It sets back the date at which a viable state of Palestine comes into existence, it leaves Israel with few friends in the region and it poses an ongoing risk of instability for the international community." He has also committed himself to visit the region as soon as is practical to witness the reality of situation on the ground.
The Labour Party has always prided itself on being the party of internationalists and made huge strides to reduce global poverty and help build a safer, fairer world through its decisive action on international development. Nevertheless, on the Middle East, the repeated promises, policy initiatives and road maps that led nowhere – together with a 'perceived' lack of impartiality did immense damage to our credibility and little to secure our country or contribute to a better world. We need to work at regaining our reputation for even-handedness, independence and have the moral courage in speaking out against human rights abuses and violations of international law.
The failure to uphold international law and human rights in the Middle East over many decades has abandoned the majority of Palestinians and Israelis who want peace and strengthened extremists and undermined our security. The longer the call for equality, freedom and justice in Palestine goes unanswered and the more hopeless the situation becomes, the higher the price we will pay through increased instability and insecurity in the world.

Well, apparently some
of you actually understood last week's article.
Common sense, wasn't it... Well here's a
few swerve balls...
Again, it may be common
sense but you can also use your position
to bluff. Personally, when playing live,
I only bluff if I think I can pick up some
sort of tell as well. Maybe a quick check,
a sigh, a look of disgust as an ace hits
the flop. This isn't quite so easy to spot
while playing on the internet against an
opponent 4,000 miles away. Apparently there
are books available on internet tells nowadays,
but I'm a little sceptical myself. I haven't
read them myself but maybe I should.
Ok let's assume that you
have progressed and the game is 2$/$4 Limit
Hold'em. Everyone passes to you on the blind.
You raise your pair of 8s because there
are only 2 hands behind you. But the small
blind re-raises and you should call. The
flop comes A K 2 off suit. The small blind
checks. Well either he is playing sneaky
or maybe he raised you with a pair of 9s,
10s, Js, Qs, or even a smaller pair than
yours in the first place, or he is a suited
connectors raiser. In all these cases he
has assumed you called him with an Ace.
So make a bet. You might win a $13 pot with
a $2 bluff. If he raises, give it up. The
clever git trap checked you, he's probably
got AK or AQ and you lost an extra $2 in
the pot. If he smooth calls then maybe he's
got it maybe he hasn't, and maybe you hit
an 8 on Fourth Street . If he checks again,
well you have to make a judgement on how
sneaky he is. If he's an honest Joe, make
another bet. You may pick up a $17 pot for
a $4 bluff...
Ok, although the moral of today's story is that you can use your position to bluff, I must unfortunately add a warning... most bluffers get carried away, do it too much and lose in the long run. So don't get carried away. Patience is probably the most important Poker virtue. I just wish I had some!
Oh and for those of you who were a little worried about my fridge being empty, fortunately my luck improved in February. The European Omaha Championship was held in Paris , and the deck hit me in the face for 2 days. I outlasted some of the world's best Omaha players like Rob Hollink ( Holland ) and Robert Williamson (USA) to pick up a cool 71,000 euros. Unbelievably, the following week I was second to fellow Stokie, Paul Maxfield, in the main Hold'em event and collected another 41,000 euros. And Sian got to see Peter Pan 5 times !
See you next week folks,

A linguist stutters at her belly button
Lover's crawl up to her chest
And drink upon the collarbone
One hums his mother's Spanish lullaby
Another pleads for his father to stop
The reckless beating
She sits by the window pane
As the last lover bids adieu
He watches her paint the sky
With a vomit full of stars and
Ejaculate moons from betwixt
Her palms
Duct tapes hang from the corners of
Her lips
She becomes a red rose one last time
A throbbing heart sits in her mouth
The dead lover's chest beats emptily
Without escape of a singular sound

Using Moo.com for Your Wedding Stationery
Weddings can be an expensive business. Photographers, venues, food, drink, entertainment, and all manner of other things to consider. But it's also a fun opportunity for some design work! Wedding "branding" and stationery has the potential to be another big wedding expense, but by thinking a little creatively, you can not only give your special day a personal touch, but also cut down on the cost.
Today I'll be sharing a little insight into how you can use your copy of Photoshop, and Moo.com, to create a fantastic array of different wedding stationery. We did it for our wedding a couple of weeks ago, and it went down brilliantly.
The Ultimate Designer Toolkit: 2 Million+ Assets
Envato Elements gives you unlimited access to 2 million+ pro design resources, themes, templates, photos, graphics and more. Everything you'll ever need in your design resource toolkit.
Sans Serif, Script & More
Web Templates
Landing Pages & Email
CMS Templates
Shopify, Tumblr & More
Today only (really, this only happens once a year!), Envato Elements has a flash sale. Save up to 40% on your subscription, and keep that low price for the lifetime of your account!
This is a once-a-year chance to get every creative and design asset you could ever need for the price of a pizza each month.
How We Did It
One of the aspects of our wedding that I wanted to work on myself was our stationery design. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted the designs to look like — fairly modern, with a few hints of more traditional aspects coming through. No fancy bows, glitter, or bits of textured paper!
We looked into a few different options for printing our stationery, but Moo.com seemed like a great fit. The main thing we really loved was that the sizes and types of product offered fit really well with the ideas we had in mind. Here's what we ended up designing and having printed…
Wedding Invitation Packs
We went with ordering a selection of 6×4 postcards, which we packaged together to make a little "invitation bundle". One card showed the date, time, details of the wedding. And the other was quite literally a postcard. It let the guest write down their RSVP details, stick on a stamp, and drop it straight back in the mail to us. It worked brilliantly!
Menus & Place Cards
Each table contained both a handful of menu cards, and a place name for each guest, showing them where to sit. These were accompanied by sketches done by a family friend, and printed onto the postcards — a great touch that added something a little more personal to the design.
The actual place cards are, in fact, Moo Business Cards (you can check them out here at MOO.com). They're the perfect size to showcase someone's name, and matched really well with the rest of the various products.
We had a "seating tree", with the seating arrangements for each table hanging on a postcard from a tree. Simple to do with a postcard, a hole punch, and a length of ribbon. And it looked fantastic:
We gave our guests various little "bags" containing different things throughout the day. Some were filled with confetti for the church, others contained a selection of different sweets as favours for the table.
Each bag was sealed with a little Moo.com sticker, with our initials, and the date of our wedding printed on. It was a lovely little touch, and the round stickers worked perfectly.
Signs and Notices
We scattered various signs and notices around different parts of our marquee, to give everything a touch more personality. From "Eat Pig and Party" by our hog roast, to a simple "Thank you for your wedding cards" instruction. Postcards were perfect for this.
Thank You Banner
We wanted to have a photo of us both holding a "Thank You" banner, which we could then use as a thank you card to send out to our guests. We made the banner by stringing various Moo postcards together with an ivory ribbon (each postcard was printed with a large letter). The end result looked really fantastic, and it should make a fun little card to send out to all our guests in the next few weeks.
A Personal Touch
If you're wondering how best to design your own wedding stationery — and you're happy to go with an option that's less "vintage", and a little more modern — I'd thoroughly recommend giving Moo.com's various printing services a try.
The resulting cost for us was much less than it would have been to have all these different products printed individually, not least because some of them were actually one-off designs that we only needed a single copy of.
It really helped to give our wedding day a fun bit of personal branding! Thanks, Moo!

Many of the medical malpractice claims filed by people in Illinois may deal with cases of misdiagnosis. Two different studies by malpractice insurers released in the same week in March found that misdiagnoses dominated their claims. For one company, Coverys, nearly half of the closed claims against doctors between 2013 and 2017 were diagnosis related. The other company, The Doctors Company, found that more than a third of the closed malpractice claims involving children between 2008 and 2017 were linked to misdiagnoses.
Reasons not to get behind the wheel while tired
Most Illinois drivers would readily admit that driving over the speed limit is dangerous. However, many may not be as aware of the dangers that come from driving while tired. According to some experts, if a person remains awake for 18 hours, their abilities are impaired comparable to what a person experiences when they drive under the influence of alcohol. When a person has a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal driving limit, they need to sober up before getting behind the wheel. Likewise, when a person is tired, the only cure is getting sleep.
How can I prove that distracted driving occurred?
If you were involved in a car accident in Illinois, you will want to take action so that the responsible party is held liable for what they have done. It is understandable for you to be angry and bitter toward the person whom you believe caused the incident. At the same time, it is better to put that negative energy into being proactive and taking the appropriate action.
AAA warns against drowsiness after daylight saving time
Drowsiness is, for many in Illinois, the natural consequence of losing one hour of sleep for daylight saving time. If these same people choose to drive while drowsy, though, then they are endangering both themselves and others. Everyone needs at least seven hours of sleep a day. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says that to miss one to two of those hours in a 24-hour period is to nearly double one's car crash risk.
Younger patients with colorectal cancer are often misdiagnosed
Young people in Illinois and across the U.S. run a higher risk of being diagnosed with later-stage colorectal cancer (also called colon cancer). The reason for this, according to the American Association for Cancer Research, is that people under the age of 50 with this disease tend to be misdiagnosed during their initial appointments.

What happens after an offer is accepted on a house?
When you initially sign a purchase offer, what do you think about next? Moving in, decorating, and imagining get togethers with friends and family. But hold the phone! You've missed a few steps in between.
After you give in your offer, the next step is waiting. You don't know what the sellers are going to think about your offer. Let's explore the options.
Let's say the sellers flat out reject your offer. That is a call for disappointment. See what information your real estate agent can glean from the seller's agent. Was your offer way too low? Did they accept another offer instead? You may choose to walk away, or you may choose to counter offer. Let your real estate agent guide you during this scenario.
Or, after looking at your offer, the sellers may counteroffer. So, something needs to be adjusted. Are you willing to raise your price? Change your closing date? Decide that you really don't need the sellers to leave behind that inflatable backyard unicorn? Change what is comfortable, but never be afraid of walking away. The deal must be financially comfortable for you.
And the final scenario – your offer is accepted. Yay! Is it time to think of moving in, decorating, and family get togethers? Not quite yet. Get ready for some real fun. What happens after an offer is accepted on a house?
Assemble your deposit
To make your offer legally binding, you need to provide the earnest money, also called a deposit. This should be on the offer. The deposit shows the seller that you are serious about your home.
Deposit: Do not confuse it with the down payment. This money will be held in trust until the home closes. If you should walk away from the sale without reason, the seller may be allowed to keep this money.
Say adios to your conditions
Many offers are conditional. You could have requested that your offer depends on you selling your own home, getting financing, or that the house passes an inspection. What happens after an offer is accepted on a house? You need to start working on getting rid of these conditions so that the transaction can close.
Get that financing
Were you pre-approved for a mortgage before starting your home search? If so, that was a smart decision! Now that your offer was accepted, you need to get the actual mortgage.
Pre-approval isn't the same thing as getting an actual mortgage. Think of it as the starting step, the introduction. And even if you were pre-approved, you could theoretically be denied the mortgage itself.
To make sure that that doesn't happen, don't do anything with your finances during this time. No shopping sprees, no large credit card purchases…don't even change jobs. Any change, or even a tweak, may cause your finances to look less than optimal, and that can mean no mortgage for you.
Your mortgage lender will let you know what documentation you need to provide. You probably will need to get a home appraisal. Your lender doesn't want to loan you $200,000 for a home that is only worth $100,000.
Once you have been approved, provide the documentation to your real estate agent.
What happens after an offer is accepted on a house? You can actually change your mind! It's true – but not for just any old reason. Here are some common situations where you can back out:
Make sure you have contingency clauses in your offer that account for these situations. Ask your real estate agent or a real estate lawyer to review the clauses. Better safe than sorry!
The Shamrock Way
What happens after an offer is accepted on a house? You go to Shamrock Home Loans. With decades of experience under our belt, we definitely know mortgages. Let us help you with friendly advice and great financing. Home ownership and Shamrock Home Loans – what could be better?

If you're looking for some last minute inspiration for a gift, we've got you covered! The Perfect Sized Crate Just like humans need peace and quiet sometimes, dogs need their own private den too.

A compelling choice for the big screens, our Premium Large Format (PLF) projection solution outshines costly first generation laser systems, with unrivalled 4K picture quality at light levels up to 60,000 lumens.
Kodak Digital Cinema is pleased to announce that the "Commission Superieure Technique" (CST), the French organization charged with evaluating new systems for television and the cinema, has purchased a Kodak Theatre Management System (TMS) as well as a Kodak Content Player JMN3000 for use in Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris. The system will be installed by Kodak.
This is the second Kodak Content player the CST has purchased. The system will be used in the theater to prove its reliability, flexibility, and compliance with the standards and expectations of the French entertainment industry.
"Commission Superieure Technique" is the professional organization in France charged with supervising the quality of production, broadcast, and display of sound and images for television, cinema, or any other medium. Established in 1944 to take part in the reconstruction of French cinema and to encourage its evolution from black-and-white to colour, today the organization is involved with the transition to digital cinema.
"The CST is exactly the kind of organization we love to do business with, working to achieve the highest standards of cinema quality" said Pascal Heuillard, Cinema and Television operations manager for Kodak Pathe. "They have a regimen that involves testing our products in the real world environment. We are proud they've chosen to evaluate our system and confident it will meet their needs."
"Kodak is a historical partner of the CST," said Pierre-William Glenn, president of CST. "They were among the first to introduce a working Theatre Management System, which will be an important component of a cinema's ability to fully and efficiently use the potential that digital technology provides. Our evaluation of the Kodak system will enable us to better understand – and prove – that potential."
Espace Pierre Cardin, the two-screen multiplex where the Kodak system will be installed, already has a number of other brands of projectors and content players, also being evaluated. In the near future, the CST expects the Kodak TMS to be inter-connectable with all components.
The Kodak Theatre Management System is designed to load and direct all motion pictures with keys, trailers and other pre-show content to the proper screens, providing a seamless, accurate, and automated presentation, and may be connected to the ticketing system.
"Kodak has extensive worldwide experience doing central management of cinema content with our pre-show installations, and we're applying that to our digital feature systems," said Mr. Heuillard. "This new capability has the potential to make a huge difference in our customer's operational flexibility and workflow efficiencies in the future."
In addition to the central Theatre Management System, a Kodak Content Player JMN3000 will be installed on each screen. The player handles a full range of feature content, in 2D or 3D, with MPEG2 or JPEG compression. A range of content -- from local language movies to major studio releases, and from documentaries to work by independent filmmakers -- can be played on screen.
"This is an exciting and challenging time for our organization," said Mr. Glenn. "It's a time when cinema owners are looking to us for guidance and help as they consider their own plans for the future. We are pleased to have companies such as Kodak working with us, helping us to more fully understand the new technologies, and enabling us to provide the assistance and the options the French cinema industry needs to deliver superior entertainment for the future."
Kodak systems have been installed on nearly 2000 screens in more than 260 sites, in 14 countries, with 38 exhibition chains. 170 of those screens show full feature content on Kodak systems, with about one-third also showing 3D movies. Kodak Digital Cinema products and services are available worldwide.

Back in November, in just their 14th game of the season, the Golden State Warriors looked a bit out of sync. At the end of a close game with the L.A. Clippers, Draymond Green seemed to purposely not pass the ball to Kevin Durant with the game on the line, leading to a heated exchange between the two teammates on the bench. It was a strange sight to see for what appeared to be a very tight knit group, but, still at 11-3 on the year, it was hardly time to panic.
RELATED: Draymond Green has a funny theory as to why the Cavs renovated their visitors locker room
Since then the Warriors have gone 12-10, which is almost unfathomable considering this is a team that has lost more than 15 games in a season just once in the last four years. Throughout this down period, and the entire season, Draymond Green has looked awful, which is clearly playing a part in their struggles. You could argue that Green is the guy that makes everyone gel, the leader, if you will. On Thursday night, fresh off a beat down on Christmas on their own court at the hands of the Lakers, Green & co. looked out of rhythm once again. It was so bad that Green straight up pegged Thompson in the face with the basketball on ... accident? You be the judge:
Dynasty over?! Rejoice!
Kidding. Obviously this was on accident (we think), as Steph Curry was waiting in the corner for Green's pass, but this play only further highlights Golden State's struggles. They went on to lose this game, at home again, for their second loss in a row. The last time they lost two consecutive home games was last March when they lost three straight against Utah, Indiana and Milwaukee. Of course, they went on to win their third NBA title in four years. According to the latest odds from Oddshark, they are still a heavy favorite to make it a fourth in five years, so we should pump the brakes on any "dynasty is over" talk.

'Earthquakes in London' at Steep: Our roiling planet may soon resemble a fractured family
Review: Mike Bartlett's "Earthquakes in London," at Steep Theatre, is an intriguing excursion that conflates garden variety family dysfunction with nothing less than the end of days. The show closes March 18, and it's worth catching – not for its perfection (it is imperfect), but for its rigorous melding of intricate, credible characters and a provocative foray into magical realism. ★★★
'Bobbie Clearly' at Steep: A troubled youth, murder and the shattering toll on a small town
Review: Having nurtured Alex Lubischer's ambitious and imaginative tragi-comedy "Bobbie Clearly" through workshops, Steep Theatre now offers the result-to-date in a world premiere. It's a dark tale – about a small-town youth who murders a little girl, goes to prison, then returns to make amends – laced with witty dialogue and charged circumstance. It's also burdened by moments still awaiting the spark of life. ★★
'Wastwater' at Steep: The human condition, warts and all, with an emphasis on the warts
Review: If the mirror held to up to our human lot by Simon Stephens' play "Wastwater" fairly reflects what's framed there, we're not a very pretty collection. We may have our favorable features, but for the most part the image that emerges in "Wastwater," about to wind up its run at Steep Theatre, is one of frailty, desperation and meanness. ★★★

Why Everybody Is Talking About Esa Cat…The Simple Truth Revealed
Furthermore, as soon as an arrangement was formed, be certain to receive all of the adjustments in accordance with you and your landlord's signatures and date to confirm the agreement. Co-Investigators about the acquisition CAT 1 proposal goes to be more limited to those who have a clear objective to publish results employing the info that is requested in the foreseeable future. The second issue todo is to demonstrate a listing of this kind of handicap.
What is Really Going on with Esa Cat
An pet could be exactly what the doctor arranged, providing a particular type of service which is often thought of as sort of drug for your spirit, together with favorable effects without negative results. When it's to perform wild horses, it's not possible to get consensus regarding what's perfect in their opinion. Being a consequence, some cats may behave as alarm clocks, trying to wake up their owners should they sleep soundly past the regular minute.
The War Against Esa Cat
Emotional assistance creature dog tags may also be given by numerous websites, however, ID tags aren't required bylaw. Last, remember to take note that this info depends on my own experience and study and shouldn't be taken as legal advice. When it is not claimed it did not occur, and you don't never need to handle the down sides.
Most Noticeable Esa Cat
You may be thus trapped on your emotions that you just get yourself a challenging time discovering the way the other folks are feeling. Although your emotional support animal can there be to provide you with all the confidence and love that you will need to make it throughout every day, the romantic connection needed to perform both ways. In the event you prevent your autumn, you will defeat your troubles, but should you fall in the abyss, it's really a warning you need to be exceptionally careful on your company dealings.
Dreams may perhaps well not indicate the things they seem to mean in the beginning. Children can't have too many novels, and birthdays are a terrific time to enhance a toddler's library. There is nothing as pleasing.
Seeking the assistance you'll require for your own emotional or mental disability is your initial step on your therapy system. The handicap doesn't will need to become visible. It is very important you don't create the individual with handicap feel uncomfortable after you ask.
A psychological service letter need to indicate you get a mental disability and also your furry friend will probably help to control particular indicators of one's own illness. Possessing an ESA signifies you've got a psychological handicap and your furry friend is essential for the mental wellbeing. Canine also has to be trained particularly to help you together using the handicap.
The Debate Over Esa Cat
You will find it here if you don't understand that the entire year signal. The above mentioned tasks occur in a room. Around the reverse side, an ESA isn't required to be educated to carry out a particular exercise.
Featured here is one of the a dozen free pet horoscopes available on the market. Periodically it looks as though they've been putting on mittens simply because they seem to receive a thumb on their paw. Besides theses two extra legal rights, it's only a normal pet.
Think about doing this with a puppy and you're going to return again to oneruinedkitchen. Many dogs might forget why they're shipped out. Not many dogs will adhere to the full order nevertheless.
Repeat just the exact dilemma to be certain specially if you're in possession of only a tiny pet. If you'd want to split the love of one's dog along with others, the most superior issue is that there's no age or strain requirement. Nobody comes pets and up you you're working.
If horses aren't authorized in city boundaries, you can't end up being a horse and make it in your city flat, saying it really is an emotional support animal and that means you're capable to keep it. So, here are a couple heads upon why I'm authorized to get my amazing cat on campus. My cat really does well using free roam of their house but in the event that you've found a brand new kitty you could possibly choose to keep them in 1 room if leaving for a couple hours.
Why Almost Everything You've Learned About Esa Cat Is Wrong
The procedure is pretty extended, but well worth it. In some conditions, however, it might be impossible to accommodate significantly a lot greater than 1 service creature. There's a solution.
Facts, Fiction and Esa Cat
Unlike agency creatures and therapy animals, organizations aren't required bylaw to empower the ESA interior and there's no certification training. Tasks or the task conducted with an agency animal has to become about the disability of the operator. There aren't any requirements.
Possessing a monster emotional support dog letter from doctor assisted treatment system to assist for it particular is a excellent resource. If you're interested in psychological support monster in this situation it's the place to really go to. Once you've selected an ESA, then be certain to give it the very simple coaching ( if your pet canine ) to make it going to become well behaved in public.
So long as your http://cola.siu.edu/english/_common/documents/first-second-year/101-objectives.pdf dog was trained to execute a specific task connected for the disability its operator has, it is a ceremony dog. There's a certain chart that could assist you when obtaining the magnitude of the vest. Always better to receive a vet's number often available for sudden changes in case your pet's illness demands a switch to the worst.
Shuffling chairs whenever there are 4 animals in order to stop in the cabin is much a lot more effortless than when there's an infinite number present. Even whenever you have a pet emergency kit packed and willing to proceed should you will need to evacuate your property, there are numerous additional measures you should take to be sure that your pet security. Running service dogs aren't pets, although they may be quite silly, adoring and goofy once the clock stops.
Bear in your mind your creature is safeguarded from law. Evidently, not cats create fantastic therapy cats. In fact, there doesn't appear to be some limit to which they could qualify as long as the creature has considerable lodging and does not cause disturbances.
If some body else is experiencing arthritis discomfort in their fingers, obtaining a dog or kitty can sporadically assist a lot. On occasion it has the little gaps together with each kind of animal that help folks distinctively. Given the animal comes for, you'll find almost absolutely nothing inherently wrong with searching animals for the above functions.
Top Choices of Esa Cat
Your neighborhood humanist society might still become considered described as a functional resource for leasing pets and deposits. By time to time, your vehicle may require a effortless squirt and wipe to wash off the windshield. Nor can a landlord require all sorts of instruction certification or put restrictions on the kind of creature owned provided that the animal is viewed as legal on your municipality.

The body electric,Batteries are the weak link for wearable and implantable devices. But what if you could harvest energy from the heat, sweat or vibrations of the wearer?
In "I Sing the Body Electric," poet Walt Whitman waxed lyrically about the "action and power" of "beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh." More than 150 years later, MIT materials scientist and engineer Canan Dagdeviren and her colleagues are giving new meaning to Whitman's poem with a device that can generate electricity from the way it distorts in response to the beating of the heart.
Electronics are now so powerful that a smartphone has more computing power than all of NASA did when it put the first men on the moon in 1969. The extraordinary advances technology has made over time have raised hopes that devices worn on, or even implanted within, the body can also become ever more capable.
Good vibrations
One energy-harvesting strategy involves converting energy from vibrations, pressure and other mechanical stresses to electrical energy. This approach, producing what is known as piezoelectricity, is often used in loudspeakers and microphones.
A commonly used piezoelectric material is lead zirconate titanate, whose lead content raises concerns that it might prove too toxic for use with humans. "But for lead to decompose from the structures, they would have to be heated to temperatures higher than 700°C," Dagdeviren says. "You'll never reach such temperatures in the body."
To take advantage of piezoelectricity, Dagdeviren and her colleagues have developed flat devices that can be stuck onto organs and muscles such as the heart, lungs and diaphragm. These devices are "mechanically invisible" in that their mechanical properties are similar to whatever they are laminated onto, so they don't hinder those tissues when they move.
So far, such devices have been tested in cows, sheep and pigs, all animals with hearts roughly the same size as those of people. "When these devices mechanically distort, they create positive and negative charges, voltage and current — and you can collect this energy to recharge batteries," Dagdeviren explains. "You can use them to run biomedical devices like cardiac pacemakers instead of changing them every six or seven years when their batteries are depleted."
Scientists are also developing wearable piezoelectric energy harvesters that can be worn on joints such as the knee or elbow, or in shoes, trousers or underwear. That way, a person can generate electricity for electronics whenever they walk or bend their arms.
When designing piezoelectric gadgets, one might — counterintuitively — not want the materials that are best at generating electricity. Instead of choosing a material that converts 5 percent of all mechanical energy it receives into electricity, for example, you might want a material with only 2 percent or less efficiency. If it converts more, "it might do so by placing more of a load on the body, and you don't want it to make you tired," Dagdeviren says.
Body heat
A different energy-harvesting approach uses thermoelectric materials to convert body heat to electricity. "Your heart beats more than 40 million times a year," Dagdeviren notes. All that energy is dissipated as heat in the body — it's a rich potential source to capture for other uses.
Thermometric generators do face some key challenges. They rely on temperature differences, but people usually keep a fairly constant temperature throughout their bodies, so any temperature differences found within are generally not dramatic enough to generate large amounts of electricity. But this is not a problem if the devices are exposed to relatively cool air in addition to the body's continuous warmth.
Scientists are exploring thermoelectric devices for wearable purposes, such as powering wristwatches. In principle, the heat from a human body can generate enough electricity to power wireless health monitors, cochlear implants and deep-brain stimulators to treat disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
Static and dynamic
Scientists have also sought to use the same effect behind everyday static electricity to power devices. When two different materials repeatedly collide with, or rub against, one another, the surface of one material can steal electrons from the surface of the other, accumulating a charge, a phenomenon known as triboelectricity. A key virtue of triboelectricity is that nearly all materials, both natural and synthetic, are capable of creating it, giving researchers a wide range of possibilities from which they can design gadgets.
"The more I work with triboelectricity, the more exciting it gets, and the more applications it might have," says nanotechnologist Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Tech, the review's co-author. "I can see myself devoting the next 20 years to it."

I took Jonas to his first concert yesterday. Hep Cat Boo Daddies were performing at Riverwalk Blues Festival in downtown Fort Lauderdale. We strolled in during sound check, and Randy's drums were too loud. Jonas was sufficiently pissed off, so we walked away from the front of the stage, finding a spot near the beer tent.
The band took the stage, and I was curious to see what my six month old son's reaction would be to live music. At first, he didn't seem to notice or take much interest. A couple of songs into the set, I took him out of the stroller so he could get a look at the stage and the band, as opposed to being eye level with every person's ass in the crowd.
The opening notes to "All My Life" drifted through the sea of people, and reached Jonas. Immediately his eyes lit up, and as the song progressed, he was smiling and laughing.
Apparently, we'd found Jonas's favorite HCBD song.
He seemed to enjoy himself for most of the set, until time started to take its toll and the overstimulation gave way to a mini fit.
This is just the first of many concerts to come, and I can't wait to see him enjoy more.

We are working on a new song, this is a sample of it. For all of those, who can't wait until May 😉
What a great postrock compilation! We are represented with our track "The Sky is the Limit", besides other awesome artist like Mr. Maps, We, Canyons Of Static, And Stars Collide, Blind Architect and many more.
We would like to thank all of you who have supported and accompanied us over the past three years, above all Alex from Sister Jack Records. We would especially like to thank those who have shared our music across the world and listened to it over the years, especially our true fans and listeners.
The year 2011 was a very successful year for us. Our most recent album, "Shoulders & Giants", earned many positive reviews both here and abroad. Above all, we were greatly pleased by the diverse interview questions in magazines like Rocksound, Visions, Sonic Seducer, or Zillo. Thanks to all the music editors for their very detailed conversations and interview questions about our CDs.
We are looking forward to 2012! Alongside the second part of our concept work, which will appear in October 2012, we plan to release an EP in May that will bind our two concept albums together.
We wish you all a good start going into the New Year!
Here we go.. our new video "There's No Sky" is going to be released tonight. You can watch it on Youtube or on our website. Thanks goes to the director Sung Joon Kim. It's the second time that he made a video for us. We appreciate his awesome work!
Order our new album and get a free download link of our EP "The Sirens Sound". This offer is only available for the next two weeks on our website!
Our new album "Shoulders & Giants" will be officially released on Oct. 21st 2011, but pre-orders will be shipped right after the purchase on our website. So you all get the album weeks before the release date! It comes with a special bonus packages, also including our latest double A-side single "Disclosure / The Great Silence".
Today we've released the single "Disclosure" from our upcoming album "Shoulders & Giants". We decided not to release an ordinary one-track single, because it includes a second track, which is not to find on any album. This track is called "The Great Silence" and a brand new orchestral composition of ours, only a few days old.
The single is only available on our website. The official digital single release will be next week, on Sept. 2nd 2011.
Guess what happens if you take one of Russias best known Post Rock band and mix it up with us? That's right, you get a Split EP full of surprises! Not just a compilation of tracks, Black Moon Empire is more than that, because the title track is a work of both bands, Mooncake and us.
Pre orders are available from now on! Visit: http://black-moon-empire.com/
The official release date is July 31st 2011.
We gonna release a split EP with our Russian friends Mooncake this summer. The CD will be released on Oxide Tones, including 5 tracks… two songs of each band + the title track "Black Moon Empire", which is an awesome work of both, Mooncake and us.
More infos next time…
Right now we are working on some new songs and we got the idea of releasing a concept album series. We love albums that tell a story and that got more than just the music on a round plastic plate. The audience should be carried on a trip into the unknown. We are thinking of one's passion for the rugged and dangerous, the desire of infinitive freedom and the mightiness of nature.
We'll try our best to put these feelings and emotions onto 2 albums with a great artwork.
The release date of the first chapter could be already in fall.

Port Louis - Teachers
© National Museum of the Navy / A.Grandener
Located at the entrance of the harbor of Lorient, the citadel of Port-Louis is rich of more than 400 years of history. Built in 1591 during the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants raging in the region, it is completely destroyed in 1598. Twenty years later, Louis XIII, who is aware of the strategic interest of the harbor, decided to rebuild it to strengthen the defense of this maritime area.
Today, the collections of the Marine Museum are deployed inside this exceptional building, through two thematic areas:
Rescue at sea traces the history of an extraordinary human adventure based on the solidarity of seafarers. Born in the middle of the 19th century, the first rescue companies bring together sailors who refuse the inevitability of the danger at sea. The numerous testimonies, models and everyday objects, make this unique space in France, a tribute to the heroism of rescuers, these sailors who risk their lives to save the lives of others.
Treasures of Oceans invite to a trip on distant seas and Far East routes. You will discover ships that have sunk during their journey on the route of the Indies and that have been updated thanks to the underwater archaeological excavations. Models, maps, navigational instruments and magnificent bronze cannons are exhibited alongside exceptional porcelain sets forgotten at the bottom of the waves for nearly 400 years.

The editors of this new text pledge "to encompass everything that is usually included in the category of 'rheumatism'." This goal can probably no longer be achieved within 600 pages. It might have been approached more practically, however, had greater attention been given to the relative importance of subject matter. The contributors include many leaders of European rheumatology. It seems that their number (59) overwhelmed the editors, so that the final product is characterized by fragmentation, duplication, and omissions but not by comprehensiveness. For instance, the editors could have decided to exclude infectious arthritides. It is difficult, however, to justify

YES, my favorite time of the year is back! I know it seems like some kids just got out of school, but many kids will be heading back in about 3-4 weeks. Time to get buying and stocking up while the sales are going on.
I LOVE Back to School shopping and I scour the ads each week looking for the best deals, so I figured I should share with you all! The sales this week are a little "WEAK" yet, I hope they pick up soon, but there isn't too much to "jump for joy" about quite yet. (At least not in my opinion) The past couuple of years have seen "weak" sales and even the clerks at the Office stores agree. So let's hope the "Deals and Stock Up" prices improve soon!
If you are a Teacher or Homeschooling Parent, check out my Teacher Discounts for Homeschoolers post to sign up for Teacher Discount cards. VERY useful at the 3 main Office Supply Stores. Office Max allows those with the Teacher card a limit of 20 of each of the sale items.

The monthly payments are not subject to VAT, however if you do take out the optional service package then you will have to pay VAT on the service costs.
PCP is ideal for any individual who would like options at the end of their finance agreement. PCP customers make an initial payment when they first take out the contract, then pay fixed monthly payments and finally have an Optional Final Payment (OFP) at the end at the end of the contract which is also referred to as the GFV (Guaranteed Future Value).
You can trade in or sell your vehicle at a dealership and take another vehicle from them. If the trade in value is larger than the OFP you will be able to use the difference towards a deposit on a new vehicle. Or, you can simply return the vehicle to the funder, as long as you have not exceeded the mileage and the vehicle is in an appropriate condition for its age there will be no charge. Finally, you can keep the vehicle either by paying the OFP in full or you will find that most companies offer the opportunity to re-finance the OFP.

Similarly, wrap other 12″ ribbon lengths onto other two dowels. (Note: It is important that ribbon is wired, as it will help with wrapping around dowel and keep it in place.)
- Insert photos into frames and then use glue gun to attach dowels to back of each frame. Insert dowels into foam brick, among the flowers.
- Tie and knot 8″ ribbon lengths onto dowels, just below base of frame. Shape ribbon ends as desired.

Every investment should deliver a solid return, and Solar PV systems are no different. From design and installation through to real-time monitoring and maintenance, we'll secure your investment in solar.ENQUIRE NOW
If your business is thinking about making the transition to cleaner, greener energy, you need more than a solar installation – you need a solar partner. That's what sets BeBa Energy apart. Unlike other solar companies, we've been around for 20 years and pride ourselves on building long-lasting relationships with all of our commercial customers. Not only do we install solar panels to the highest standards, we provide ongoing maintenance and real-time monitoring to ensure your investment is working as hard as it possibly can for you.
BeBa Energy provide a full range of commercial, long term sustainable renewable Solar PV solutions, for both roof-mounted and field-mounted options through to complete solar parks. All of which will benefit from the Feed in Tariff whilst continuing to generate 'free' electricity past the 20 year timeline of the tariff scheme.
Whether you have a flat or pitched roof, on a commercial, agricultural, residential or retail property, BeBa Energy can install the right Solar PV solution for you and your budget. We will design the perfect match for your energy needs and structure. We only use the highest quality components, and always ensure that the structure and integrity of your roof is protected, whilst maximising the potential of your Solar system to give you the best return on investment.
BeBa Energy specialise in designing, installing and integrating Solar PV systems onto land, creating an optimised ground-based solution that will produce anything from 30kW to 5MW of electricity.
Our in-house design team work with you to create a system that delivers the energy profile that best suits your needs, and our high-tech equipment allows us to install quickly and cost-effectively.
We're the only UK business with a GAYK tracked pile driver, which ensures complete accuracy and speed during the installation process. Our experience is unparalleled, which is why we can commit to helping you achieve the best possible long-term return on investment.
If you have a farm or large area of accessible land, BeBa Energy can help you make the most of your space with high-yield solar PV solutions.
BeBa Energy specialise in the design and integration of Solar PV onto both agricultural land, as well as roof-mounted systems on agricultural buildings such as barns, chicken sheds and grain stores. From 10KW to 5MW systems, we can install the perfect solution for your needs – high-yield, short return on investment, with long term (20 years index linked) government backed payments at competitive prices.
Whether you have a large office building or factory, BeBa Energy UK will design and install a high-performing, Solar PV system that will offer a long term sustainable income for your business for a minimum of 20 years.
By installing Solar PV on to your unused roof space, you will not only increase the energy efficiency of your building – but you will also receive a substantial ongoing income from your energy supplier and the government.
If you're a developer or builder, BeBa have the solutions to your energy regulation requirements, at a cost that makes commercial sense, and installed without wasting any of your people's time.
Our cost-effective solutions can be designed and integrated into your development to reach the relevant BREEAM ratings / planning conditions with very little effort. In fact, our specialist teams can design a solution that fits perfectly into your existing plans, and install them without the need to take up your contractors' time. Using our expertise and experience, we ensure that the structure and integrity of the roof remains completely effective, while at the same time maximising the potential of the solar installation.
It's tempting to think that getting solar panels installed is a one-time thing, and for many it is. Lots of solar companies will install your panels and then move on, never looking back.
We're different.
We know that for solar panels to perform effectively and deliver a good return, they need to be monitored and maintained, and that's precisely what we do.

If there's one item that has bridged the divide between casual and formal in contemporary menswear, it's the white sneaker. Shoes that were once strictly for athletic purposes have been transformed into a sartorial essential, providing a versatile and classic footing to almost any outfit.
Here are Ape's favourite models on the market.
Luxury: Valentino Fly Crew
Sat firmly at the premium end of the white sneaker spectrum, these luxury Italian kicks feature premium leather uppers, a serrated leather tongue and contrast leather striped sidewalls. Valentino's signature leather studs applied to the rubber outsole ensure they subtly stand out against their minimal contemporaries.
£445; End Clothing
Affordable: Superga 2750 Cotu Classic
For affordability and style, it's difficult to beat the Superga 2750 Cotu Classic. Streamline, unassuming and comfortable, the canvas upper adds breathability for warmer climates. The self-described "people's shoes of Italy" are an understated classic that offer a timeless silhouette, working well with both wide and slim-leg trousers.
The Icon: Adidas Stan Smith
A certified iconic sneaker that although predominantly white, offers a subtle flash of colour in its detailing. The Stan Smith is a fail-safe option that is chunkier than other plimsoll-inspired silhouettes but can still be dressed up with tailoring or down with jeans and chinos. Make sure they're kept spotless.
£74.95; adidas.co.uk
Chunky: Balenciaga Triple S
Loved by the fashion crowd, detested by style purists but with a popularity (and aesthetic) that makes them unavoidable, The Triple S is perhaps the most divisive sneaker of the last decade. This "ugly sneaker" is not for the faint-hearted, granted, but chances are if you're making the investment, you know what you're doing.
£695; balenciaga.com
Minimal: C.QP Racquet
A classic, refined low-top sneaker made with heritage shoemaking principles. Expect Italian leather uppers, a calf lined heel, Italian suede heel tab, removable inner sole and, interestingly, a metal shank – which provides a stable build.
£250; The Rake
Statement Maker: Off-White Distressed Leather
Statement sneakers courtesy of Mr Virgil Abloh, a man who is no stranger to hype-worthy footwear. Featuring canvas uppers trimmed with leather and set on sturdy rubber soles, the leather has been authentically distressed to create a broken in feel. Off-White's trademark arrows and bright zip tie make for a pair of sneakers that are guaranteed to become the focal point of any outfit, all while garnering serious kudos from those in the know.
Environmentally Friendly: Veja Nova
The Veja mission statement is "one foot in design and the other in social responsibility", which means quality footwear whilst using sustainable materials (including organic cotton), respecting fair trade principles and championing upcycling. Their Nova White is a stylish vegan shoe that proves style can be sustainable.
£80; Albam
British: Grenson Sneaker 1
It was only a matter of time before the Northampton shoemaking mavericks dipped their toe into the sneaker world, especially with owner Tim Little's background at Adidas. The result? The Sneaker 1. A white calf leather sneaker with a slightly higher upper and a robust rubber sole. A well-designed premium option that justifies its price point.
Designer: Gucci New Ace
The Gucci New Ace is arguably the second most famous three-striped sneaker, but with an exclusivity and prestige that is difficult to match. The low-top silhouette makes it the perfect accompaniment to sportswear looks or smarter, eye-catching tailoring.
£410; Gucci
Contemporary Icon: Common Projects Original Achilles
Understated, minimal and sought after – the cult New York sneaker company's Original Achilles Low is a contemporary menswear icon. Made in Italy with a superior construction and trademark golden hot-stamped serial number, Common Projects have mastered the minimal white sneaker, creating a style that's perfect for both smart and casual looks. Often imitated, never bettered.
£289; End Clothing
Time Tested: Converse Jack Purcell
The Converse All-Star Ox sits alongside the Adidas Stan Smith and Superga Cotu Classic as a durable and affordable white sneaker for everyday use. A design almost untouched for over 80 years, this is a sneaker you can rest assured will never go out of style.
£60; converse.com
Durability: Vans Old Skool
A low-profile silhouette that's dripping with skate legacy, the Vans Old Skool Low Top is great value for money and designed to withstand a battering. Light and breathable, the sneaker's robust shape makes it a surprisingly versatile option that you will be able to count on for many years to come.
£60; vans.co.uk

Being in my fifties, I sometimes reminisce about how easy things were when I was young. I had less things to worry about, had more energy and time to socialise and have a good time…late nights and all. And after all that, my tired skin seemed to jump right back to life in just a couple of days.
These days, I'd be lucky if I could even get a decent 4 hours sleep! The fact is, no matter what our age is, we all have different lifestyle and habits, not to mention commitments and responsibilities – and these will take a toll on how we look and the way we feel.
We also have our own skin problems to deal with; acne and scars, blackheads, large pores, wrinkles and more. That's why it's important to set a little time to take care of ourselves – especially our skin because it's the first tell-tale of how tired we are (and our age!).
Regular trips to the salon for facial treatments might burn a hole in our pockets. So, why not try our top tips on simple (and cheap) home facial treatments to help combat our skin problems. This weekend, chill and relax at home as you pamper your skin with these home remedy skin care treatments.
PROBLEM AREAS: Tired and dull-looking skin.
Get refreshed and glowing skin with this remedy. Tumeric contains curcumin which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also promotes production of collagen and keeps the skin supple and glowing.
1 tsp tumeric powder, 4 tbsp chickpea flour, milk or water
Mix turmeric powder with the flour and add enough milk or water to form a paste. Apply the paste over (cleansed) face and neck, and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then wash and rinse with room temperature water.
Want a clear and radiant complexion? Get this 5-in-1 Ultrasonic Facial Scrubber.
- Deep cleansing
- Exfoliate and remove dead cells to reveal fresher-looking skin
- Minimise pores for smoother-looking skin
- Remove blackheads and reduce breakouts
- Stimulate and lift skin tissues for youthful look
- Reduce appearance of wrinkles

PROBLEM AREAS: Blemish and acne scars
Honey, dry oats and aloe vera gel
Blend honey, oats and aloe vera gel to make a fine paste. Apply this paste over (cleansed) face and leave it on for 30 minutes. Then wash and rinse with lukewarm water.
SKIN PROBLEM: Acne and pimples
Three remedy options that you can try:
- Baking soda and water
- Oatmeal
- Tomato pulp with cucumber juice
Mix some baking soda with water and make a thick paste. Apply this paste over (cleansed) face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then wash and rinse with lukewarm water.
Oatmeal contains cleansing properties and it also helps reduce acne scars. Simply blend some oatmeal with water to make a thick paste. Apply it over (cleansed) face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then wash and rinse with lukewarm water.
Tomato pulp is an excellent toner. It helps to unclog the pore and prevents the formation of acne and pimples. To make this treatment, add some cucumber juice and mix it with some tomato pulp. Apply it over (cleansed) face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then wash and rinse with room temperature water.
When you have any acne or pimple breakouts, delay using any scrub products – this may aggravate the condition and spread bacteria to other part of your face. Once the breakout has subsided, then continue with your weekly facial scrub routine.
PROBLEM AREAS: Blackheads
1 tsp green tea powder and water
Combine 1 tsp green tea powder with some water to create a paste. Apply on (cleansed) affected area and leave it on for a couple of minutes and then gently massage it for another couple of minutes. Finally, wash and rinse with lukewarm water.
Face & Body Slimming Massager for Slimming, Weight Loss, Fat Burning and Anti Cellulite
For the ultimate
home spa treatment – get this ultrasonic EMS Infrared face and body slimming
massager. It helps you to:
- Remove cellulite
- Slim down arms and legs
- Remove stretch marks
- Tighten sagging skin
- Stimulate absorption of nutrition into the skin
- Improve blood circulation with heat therapy
- Muscle stimulation to relieve body aches
Light therapy is used to create a 'controlled' damage to the skin in order to 'activate' a healing process – which removes dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production resulting to an improved skin condition.
