At midnight on Saturday 20th July 1935 Supt. Beck retired, after 40 years in the Dorset Constabulary, 16 of those years in the Bridport Division. Supt. Beck, who was approaching his 60th Birthday, was the longest serving member of the Constabulary at that time.
During the last few weeks of July, thanks were give to Supt. Beck at both the Bridport Borough and Division Courts, a reception was held in the borough gardens Bridport hosted by the Mayor and a photo was taken with all the police officers in the Division. The Bridport News and Western Gazette both reported on the speeches of thanks at the Courts and the reception given by the Mayor.
In later years Auntie Jo (Grandad Beck's second wife) remembered this time with affection and pride in her husband's achievements. As a child I can remember Auntie Jo showing me the items he was presented with, laid out on a table. After Grandad Beck's retirement, they moved to Longfleet, Poole, where they were to spend the rest of their days together.
All the policemen of the Bridport Division, (this includes Bridport, Beaminster, Lyme Regis and surrounding villages) gathered in the Borough garden to have the picture taken to mark Supt. Beck's retirement. 19 PC's, 3 Sergeants, Supt. Beck and Mrs Beck.
Click on photo for more information.
The Bridport News considered the event important enough to send a reporter to interview Supt. Beck at his home Peel House, St Andrews Road in Bridport. The reporter writes that he found getting information out of Supt. Beck difficult, he was unwilling to speak about himself. The reporter was so impressed that he writes Reticence, which has been one of the characteristics of this estimable officer and if ever I have a close secret to share I shall confide in Supt. Beck.
Bridport Divisional Court Sessions
Bridport Borough Police Court the senior Magistrate, Mr H. S. Suttill lead the tributes paid to Supt. Beck on his most satisfactory and exemplary career. Genial and courteous and always ready to be of help when required, Supt. Beck had conducted the police proceedings at their Court with scientific care and clearness. "For my part," said Mr. Suttill, "I appreciate his work very much and I shall miss him greatly when he is gone. He has my best wishes for a very happy retirement."
Mr J. Roper on behalf of the solicitor's added his "little word". "I am sure this hall will not seem at all like home without the Superintendent," he said. "We have had our little differences in the past, but one does know he has been an exceedingly efficient and assiduous police officer, sometimes to my confusion." (Laughter). He did not know what Supt. Beck intended to do to occupy his time. "What I should really like, he said "is that he should remain here as a licensed victualler, or that he should be a motor driver. (Laughter). I do not know what his intentions are, but perhaps he will come up and see us sometimes." (Laughter).
The Superintendent of the Special Constables Major G. M. Dammers and Mr. Austen Whetham the Magistrates' Clerk added their praise and thanks. Mr. Whetham said "Many cases would have been brought before that Bench and also the County Bench had Supt. Beck taken out summonses for every little offence that come to his notice. The Supt., however, had always sought to prevent the repetition of minor offences by simply warning the delinquent whether he be of the better or poorer classes, and generally that warning had been sufficient. Consequently, a great many people had Supt. Beck to thank for not having been brought before the Court." He also said he would be missed by his staff, who he was a friend and offered his assistants to the keen constable to learn his job.
Supt. Beck replied by saying he was not sorry to be leaving his job. "I have had a good innings," he said, "and I feel the time has arrived when I should go." Supt. Beck paid tribute to the magistrates in Dorset, who he valued as friends. "I have given evidence at most of the Courts in the County of Dorset, in Assize Courts, in London and other places, and I do feel," said the Supt., "that the magistrates of our county are out to do all they possible can to help the police in the onerous duties they have to perform." "I have had some of the best and most efficient sergeants and constable, and I should like to say publicly how much I appreciate and value the help they have given me." He was grateful also to the solicitors practising in the Court for "tolerating my layman's way of conducting a case."
Supt. Beck said that oftentimes when the police refrained from prosecuting in a case, contenting themselves with a warning, the impression was gained outside that partiality had been shown, but he could assure the public that he had never been influenced in this way. He had always endeavoured to carry out what he believed to be the wishes of the Magistrates, and if he had succeeded he was very grateful. He concluded by assuring Mr. Roper that he would not become a licensed victualler and thanking the Magistrates and their Clerk for the help and courtesy they had given him and hoping that they would do the same to his successor.
Bridport Divisional Court Sessions
More praise for Supt. Beck and good wishes for his future and regret at him moving away from West Dorset where expresses by the magistrate and solicitor at the Bridport Divisional Court. Major J. Gundry, Chairman of the bench said "Supt. Beck has had a most honourable career and he will be much missed by all of us, magistrates and public".
Mr. Austen Whetham said "He has always been helpful to anybody who wanted help, and a great many people used to go to him and ask advice on all matters", he said. "He generally used to say he was not a solicitor, and then give good advice." Mr. W. G. King (probation officer) said Mr. Beck had been the means of helping many young people to retrieve their characters and do well in life. The Magistrates' Clerk, Mr. S. Edgar Howard, said the Superintendent had been the very greatest help to him, putting his cases fairly, and if there was a point in favour of the accused, he had been the first to bring it out.
Supt. Beck replied, speaking with emotion, that he had know Major Gundry for nearly 40 years "you as a magistrate and I as a policeman. I can remember you sitting on the Bench at Quarter Sessions when I was a quite a youngster". "It is because I have so many friends in West Dorset, and I do not think it would be fair to my successor to stay, and so for the time being I am going into East Dorset, but it is quite possible that I shall come back some day. In any case, I shall never forget my association with West Dorset and all the friends I have got here."
Farewell Gathering at Municipal Gardens
On the evening of the Monday July 26th, the same day as the Divisional Court, The Mayor of Bridport, Councillor W. S. B. Northover held a social gathering to honour the retiring Police Chief in the municipal (borough) gardens. Invited were magisterial and other friends of Supt. Beck from West Dorset including the Mayor of Lyme Regis, Chief Constable of Dorset, Major Peel Yates, Mayor of Dorchester. The Bridport News lists 40 people including councillors and aldermen, doctors, magistrates clerks, Captains and Colonels, and plain Mr, Mrs, and Miss. Supt. Beck was in uniform and accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law. Apologies for being unable to attend from another 16 people, one of these being Major Colfox who wrote a letter that the Mayor read out. The Bridport News transcribes the letter as follows.
Dear Mr. Mayor,
Unfortunately I am laid up and shall not be able to come to the gathering and bid good-bye to Mr. Beck. I am very sorry not to be able to be there for many reasons; but particularly because he is a man for whom I have for very many years had the very highest esteem and regard.
He has always been the kindest and most sympathetic upholder of the law, and had always done everything possible to help people to see the error of their ways without having first had to be punished. He has always shown himself to be a man of ripe experience and generous impulses; and his advice when asked for has always been readily given and when followed has always been most helpful. He has a great knowledge and understanding of human nature and knows when to be severe as well as when to be lenient.
One knows that the reason for his retirement is to make room for the promotion of younger men. One knows also the old saying that there is as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. But all the same he is certainly not too old for his job, and I very much doubt if Bridport will ever have so efficient, so peace-loving and, above all so kind a Superintendent of Police.
I know that all his friends in Bridport and district – and that surely is everyone – wish him a long life and every happiness in his retirement.
Yours Sincerely,
W. P. Collfox.
Major Peel Yates, Dorset's Police Chief Constable spoke about how Supt. Beck had been a good friend and colleague. "I part with Mr. Beck with the very greatest possible regret. He has always been my standby in the country." "if I every wanted advice – and there are many knotty problems in police work – I always consulted Mr. Beck, whose ripe experience has always been very helpful to me." Major Yates reflected on 40 years and the changes seen by Supt. Beck. He mentioned the rise of motor car and in the earlier years having to deal with dangerous driving of horses. "I rather wish the petrol engine had never been invented. We were very much more comfortable in the peaceful days of the horse, and I think Mr. Beck will agree that the petrol engine has been the curse of the police of everywhere"
Supt. Beck then replied saying this was the most difficult job of his career. In his speech as reported in the Bridport News he said "I have had a wonderful innings and I am very grateful for all the kind things said about me. I have had a wonderful lot of friends during my time and it is due to the help I have received from them that I have been able to carry on as I have. I have come to the conclusion that there are only two things that really matter in life – good health and good character. I thank God for good health and I thank all you and others who are not here for helping me to be of good character. I have been blessed with two of the best wives the world has ever given to a man, and I so say now publicly how much I value the help my present wife has given me during the past six years."
Supt. Beck went on to thank the Chief Constable for eleven happy years served under him. He thanked all 11 mayors of Bridport he had served under and the Mayor and Town Council of Lyme Regis.
Refreshments were serviced with the guest seated around tables on the lawn arranged by Mr. Walter Trump, of the Greyhound Hotel. All the guests signed a handsomely bound album which was presented to Supt. Beck as a memento.

My partner, two friends and I were part of a guided Bay of Fires walk in early December.
We couldn't have had a better experience. The guides Lewis and Jessie were passionate about the natural environment and imparted useful and interesting knowledge about the geography, fauna and flora as we walked. They are also excellent company and great cooks! We walked along pristine, spectacular, wild coastlines and kayaked along a meandering river. The Lodge and all the accomodation was just wonderful and the staff at the Lodge (Zane, Francesco and Maddy) were welcoming, fun and provided every comfort. I'd recommend this walk to anyone who loves the natural environment, likes a challenging but achievable walk and also wants some creature comforts too. Just wonderful- thank you.

We moved here in July and had a very difficult time finding a place that would care and love our son the way he was cared for at our last center! This was our third daycare and my son has numerous requirements that require more attention than normal and this center the directors and teachers have been amazing! He is so excited to go to "his class" every day! He isn't always the easiest kid but they have taken care and loved him more than we could have asked!! We appreciate all of the love and support they have shown for our little one!
PCA is the best! My daughter had a difficult time at first transitioning into preschool, but her teachers were very helpful at making her feel better at drop offs and throughout the day. The app that we have access to as parents to see how our child is doing helps me know how her day is going (if she's eating, how long she's napping and even pictures and videos of activities she's doing in class). The preschools always very clean and they have the best playground fo the kids to play under a huge shaded area for the hot summer days. I would highly recommend to anyone!
If you're searching for a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for your Little's while you cannot be their primary provider, look no further! As an educator and first time mother, I searched high and low and toured every preschool/day care (no exaggeration) in the Peoria area. After fearing I would not find a school where I felt my son would be loved and cared for, I toured PCA. I immediately fell in love! The staff at PCA not only provide a caring and safe environment, but truly know your child. My son has been attending this school for the past 2 1/2 years. I have watched him grow so much academically and he is beyond prepared for kindergarten next year! He has formed some deep bonds with the staff and has made some of his best friends here.

I gave the kids free reign on decorating the tree this year, and only intervened when the tree started to sag in places from too many ornaments in one place. The placement drives Chad crazy (my wonderful OCD husband), but I am surprisingly okay with it. And I finally agreed that we should add some blue ornaments this year, and I don't know why I resisted so long. It's gorgeous. AndI love how the entry way looks, all welcoming and Christmasy. And the Christmas Village fits perfectly on the "mantle" Chad built for me.

I have been invited to address the massive All Under One Banner (AUOB) march and rally planned for next Saturday, October 5th, in Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh. I spoke last year after over 100,000 had marched through the city in a sea of colour, vibrancy and hope for a new dawn independent from the Westminster restrictions and shenanigans.
In those days it was merely the Malevolent May government that we sought escape from with it's cold and cruel austerity policies that condemned over 14 million adults to poverty, including 9 million working households whose wages were woefully inadequate given the rising fuel, food and housing costs across the UK.
Malevolent Theresa May is now only a nasty footnote in history after she was replaced by the Etonian posh boy born into privilege and the arrogance of entitlement in the shape of Boris Johnson.
He was always a keen proponent of the austerity measures imposed by the Tories over the last decade. Making the poor and vulnerable pay for the greed and mistakes of the rich and powerful has always been his political philosophy. Johnson is not a new Prime Minister in any single policy or philosophy sense. He is of the same reactionary mould that chose to introduce the bedroom tax for poor and disabled households but tax cuts for the millionaires. His bleating about spending more on police and health services amounts to shrill deceit. He supported every single cut to the health service, police budgets, schools expenditure and welfare support. His rhetoric may be different but cold mince re-heated is still mince.
Twelve months on from last year's incredible AUOB independence march those of us in Scotland who believe there is something bigger, better and brighter outside the British Union must confront the fact that our opponent now is even more rabidly undemocratic and dangerously English nationalist than before. There is tangible frustration that despite democratically securing a mandate to hold IndyRef2 in the Scottish elections of May 2016, a mandate reinforced by a Scottish Parliament decision and victory for SNP at the 2017 snap General Election, we are over three years down the line and still there is no clarity on when that hard won mandate will be used.
My message on Saturday will be delivered in a spirit of unity and positivity. The SNP Government face huge challenges governing Scotland with so many restrictions and obstacles to realising our full potential and tackling the scourge of poverty, inequality and low pay which scars our nation. However as part of the broad based Independence Movement I and many others have earned the right to constructively criticise the tactics deployed to secure Scotland's freedom.
It is my belief that our mandate should have been triggered to coincide with the October 31st EU withdrawal date. The British Establishment is an extremely powerful force. Scotland seeks to defeat that force and break the centuries old British Union which has exploited our natural wealth and prevented us from being the powerhouse other oil rich nations have become. Instead of hosting some of the worst poverty in Europe we should be competing with Norway as the most developed and high quality society in Europe.
That British State is powerful and resourceful. They have absorbed change and the loss of huge swathes of territory formerly conquered by force and subterfuge. Right now, however, they are divided, diverted and weakened by the Brexit shambles. We should have struck while they were at their weakest. Posed the question to Scots do you want to stay with Johnson and his English nationalist bigotry and chauvinism or do you want to seek a new and fairer future under the progressive and inclusive flag of Scotland the friendly and peaceful nation?
EU sceptics like me would rather pursue our chances in an independent Scotland within the EU, despite its many faults, than remain shackled to isolated Britain as continued membership of the EU can be debated and decided by Scotland for Scotland in the near future.
I think it is a missed opportunity to have missed posing the independence question on the day Britain plans to leave the EU. Some will argue the SNP have been right to devote so much time and energy to saving the UK from Brexit and in particular a No-Deal Brexit. I respect that view but disagree with it. The SNP exists as a political force to deliver Scottish independence. It is the independence party not the stop Brexit party. England and Wales voted for Brexit. There is a democratic underpinning to the push for Brexit. The SNP should have been concentrating much more on saving Scotland from the UK than saving the UK from Brexit.
As a mass political party it has a duty to lead from the front. The tactic of mimicking the 2014 referendum process by seeking permission to hold IndyRef2 via a Section 30 Order from Westminster is not only futile it is also undignified and unnecessary. David Cameron's government only granted a Section 30 Order in 2013 because opinion poll support for independence was no higher than 25% and therefore independence appeared an impossible dream. With support now on or around 50% consistently there is no way a Westminster party will grant such an Order.
The fact is we don't need permission to conduct the IndyRef2 poll. We must stop seeking permission and instead declare the date. The right to self-determination is enshrined in international law and articulated in numerous United Nations pronouncements. Take your pick from the following:
Article 2 of the United National Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (General Assembly Resolution 1514(XV) of 14December 1960:
"All Peoples have the right to self-determination, by virtue of economic, social and cultural development."
Programme of Action for the Full Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (General Assembly Resolution 2621(XXV):
"Reaffirming that all peoples have the right to self-determination and independence and that the subjugation of the peoples to alien domination constitutes a serious impediment to the maintenance of international peace and security and the development of peaceful relations among nations."
"All peoples have the right of self -determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development"
United Nations Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the Chapter of the United Nations (General Assembly Resolution 2625(XXV) of 25 October 1970):
"By virtue of the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples enshrined in the Chapter, all peoples have the right freely to determine without external interference, their political status and to pursue their economic, social and cultural development, and every state has the duty to respect this right in accordance with provisions of the Charter."
Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE), Helsinki Final Act, August 1st, 1975:
"By virtue of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, all people always have the right, freedom to determine, when and as they wish, their internal and external political status, without external interferences and to pursue as they wish their political, economic, social and cultural development."
We need to get off our knees as a nation and inform Westminster when we are holding IndyRef2 not ask them for permission. That should have been done by now. It hasn't and represents a missed opportunity. What is more pressing now is another snap General Election, the second in two years. Nicola Sturgeon is absolutely right to encourage her 35 MP's in Parliament to support Jeremy Corbyn as a short-term PM to delay Brexit until the No-Deal option has been put to the people in the form of a new General Election and that election is now a priority for ordinary folk in England and Wales have the right to vote for No-Deal parties if they desire.
The SNP can justify delaying No-Deal Brexit for a short and defined period but they cannot justify postponing it indefinitely. Just as the people of England and Wales should not determine the future of Scotland so we should not determine the future of England and Wales.
In these changed and turbulent circumstances it is my firm belief that bold and radical action is required. The forthcoming General Election must become an independence election. Johnson and his right wing cohorts want the election in England to be a Brexit election. It is up to Corbyn and his comrades to make it an austerity election but in Scotland it must become the independence election.
If the SNP state categorically that a vote for SNP is a vote for independence then a subsequent victory is not a further endorsement for a future referendum it is the mandate to begin a 6 to 12 month period of negotiation with Westminster which secures Scotland's independence.
No more ifs, buts or maybes. A vote for SNP is both a vote for independence and to begin the separation negotiations over a defined period. The resulting settlement agreement should be put to the people in a ratification vote at the end of the 12 month period so we ensure maximum democratic support and engagement in the independence process but we need to stop messing about and trying to comply with rigged rules and biased conventions which are all constructed and interpreted with a view to defending the British Union.
The Unionists don't play fairly. They cheat, lie, bully and deceive to maintain their exploitative Union. We must stand up and assert our authority now before it's too late.
This strategy is not new or unique. It is actually the strategy advocated by the SNP in the 1997 General Election. Their Manifesto at that election under the heading 'Gaining Independence' was clear:
"A vote for SNP is a vote for Independence – it is also a vote to encourage change, because only when the SNP is strong do the other parties pay any attention to Scotland."
"Scotland can regain its independence at any General Election. After the election of a majority of SNP MPs, the SNP will immediately initiate negotiations for independence with the UK government. In parallel with these negotiations, we will initiate talks with the European Union in order to facilitate the right conditions for independent representation."
"A the conclusion of this period (which is likely to take between six and twelve months) the people of Scotland will be asked to approve the "independence settlement" in a simple one question referendum. On achieving the assent of the people of Scotland, independence will be declared and, after the formal establishment of an independent country within Europe, a fresh General Election will be held to elect a new government (in Scotland)."
The SNP Manifesto of 1997 was clear, bold and radical. The same words must now be placed front and centre of the SNP Manifesto for 2019. That will be my constructive message on Saturday in Edinburgh. Remember the 100,000 who marched last year was the equivalent of one million in UK population terms. Next week let's get 200,000 onto the streets and demand our independence and freedom. See you in Edinburgh on Saturday.

Glorious weather for St George's Day event and action-packed Easter egg hunt in Ely
A traditional St George's Day event led by Ely District Scouts was the perfect start to the Easter weekend in Ely.
Crowds flocked to the city centre on Saturday (April 20) as the parade was followed by an action-packed Easter egg hunt.
The Mayor of Ely Cllr Mike Rouse joined the scouts and attended the annual award presentations held afterwards.
Assistant scout leader Chris Beale said: "I think it is safe to say that today's St George's Day event in Ely was a big hit with all that took part - not only from scouting but the public too.
"Thanks to the egg distribution team, the egg hunt team and the Sutton BBQ team for all your efforts."
Any leftover Easter eggs were donated to Ely Lighthouse where they were distributed to people who were without one.
It came as Chris announced earlier this month that his time as district commissioner (DC) had come to an end after six years.
A permanent replacement has not yet been found, but John Wells stepped in as acting DC from Saturday, after being district chair for the last two years.
Chris posted about his time as DC on Facebook and his pride in being part of the adventure and excitement of the scouts.
He said: "It's not a simple job being DC, it's not a leadership role nor is it a managerial role.
"It's not just about being a figurehead or a benefactor. It's not just a mentor or good listener. It's all of these qualities and more.
"Don't be scared of new challenges, take them on and win at them.
"Life is full of enjoyment, adventure and excitement. In fact it's a non-stop-fun-filled-action-packed-adventure just waiting to be shared.
"A huge thank-you to each and everyone one of you for the time you give to change the lives of not only those around you but your own lives too.
"It has been a pleasure working with you.
"A wise man once said 'try to leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to move on, you can move on happy in feeling, that at any rate you have not wasted your time, but have done your best' - I hope I have done my best."

Burgundy leather sofa is a bold and distinctive piece of furniture that can add elegance to a formal living room or provide a comfortable sanctuary for a large room. Wherever you choose to place the sofa, you want to make sure that the rest of the room complements the piece. The shadow of Burgundy and the size of the sofa provide a splash of color to a space and require surrounding tones complement, rather than clash.
Decorate the burgundy leather sofa cushions. Choose colors that contrast nicely with the burgundy and dark green, purple and gold. Place a colorful quilt on the sofa back. Choose flattering colors that do not clash with the burgundy sofa. Or put an Afghan on one end of the sofa and two or three cushions on the opposite side of a cozy seating area and attractive end.
Place dark wooden furniture around the burgundy leather sofa. Each side tables, a sofa table behind the sofa and coffee table in front of all help provide a distinctive ambiance. Paint the walls behind the burgundy sofa in a neutral color such as sand or almond. Keep lamps and screens neutral lamps to accentuate the sofa, rather than detracting from it.

Whats in Alfafa Hay
Alfalfa hay is an excellent source of good quality protein and fiber. Alfalfa is a legume hay in the pea family and is sometimes called "lucerne". These hays are higher in protein and minerals and are more palatable than grass hays.
The Most Nutritious Forages
Alfalfa is recognized as one of the most nutritious forages available and is widely used as conserved forage (ex, hay, silage) in the diets of beef and dairy cattle. However, the utilization of alfalfa by grazing beef cattle has been limited due to its propensity to cause pasture bloat.
Can Alfafa Pellets Replace Hay
As a partial or full replacement — replace hay pound for pound. Alfalfa cubes, alfalfa pellets and beet pulp are more calorie dense than most grass hay; some adjustments in feeding rate may be necessary.
Early cuts of Alfafa Hay
Early cut alfalfa (late bud, early bloom stage) may vary from 16 to 20% crude protein. Even late cut alfalfa will contain 12 to 15% crude protein. Fiber content of alfalfa hays range from 20 to 28%. In contrast, the average grass hay averages 8.4% crude protein and 31.4% fiber. Alfalfa hay can also be useful in the diets of horses with insulin resistance. Although alfalfa hay is often higher in total energy content than grass hays, most of the energy in alfalfa hay is from digestible protein and fiber, rather than from sugars, starches and fructans
Is Grass Hay Better for Horses
Benefits: Legumes are higher in protein and calcium than grass hay, and may also provide more energy and a higher level of total digestible nutrients, such as vitamin A. Alfalfa is very palatable to horses, so they tend to waste less of it compared to grass hay
Is Alfafa Suitable forage for horses
Or are there other more suitable forages? The answers are yes, and yes. Alfalfa hay is a valuable forage for horses when fed to the right classes of horses and in the correct amounts for its full benefit to be realised. The following article looks at the nutrients contained in alfalfa hay and its many and varied uses in the horse industry.
Is Alfafa A Wise Choice
It isn't a perfect food, but alfalfa can be a good staple in the horse's diet. There are a few caveats, but the key here is balance
Few things create more arguments and opinions when it comes to feeding horses than whether alfalfa should be a part of the equine diet. Some say there's nothing better. Others view it as a kind of poison. The truth, of course, lies somewhere in between.Some Advantages
Horses love it! No argument there. Give a horse the opportunity to choose among flakes of all-grass hay, grass-alfalfa mix, and all-alfalfa, chances are he will chow down the alfalfa flake first. Alfalfa is tasty to horses.
Alfalfa has lower indigestible fiber than grass hays. High quality ("dairy") alfalfa supplies 20% to 25% more calories per pound than grass hays, although the difference is much smaller for more mature cuts of alfalfa.
Heavily pregnant or lactating mares, and young rapidly growing horses, benefit from alfalfa's high protein content. Alfalfa is also a rich source of calcium.
Cubed and pelleted alfalfa tends to be very high quality. It is harvested before it becomes too mature so that the cubes and pellets hold together well. The major quality issue to be concerned with is overheating during processing, which will damage the protein. Pellets and cubes should be green, not brown or black on the outside.

Some experts say it's super-helpful. Brandy Engler, a licensed clinical psychologist specialising in relationships, says counselling before you get hitched, preferably from a person who specialises in this stuff, like a couples therapist, can strengthen your bond for the long haul.
You see, Engler says, couples therapists know the skills it takes to create a happy, sustainable relationship beyond saying your vows. In your dating phase, your hot and heavy feelings for each other drive you to commit, but once you're husband and wife you need to learn how you can continue to protect your bond.
RELATED: If You Answer 'Yes' To Any Of These Questions, It's Time to See A Couples Therapist
Though most couples could benefit from premarital counselling, not everyone needs it, says Jane Greer, a marriage therapist and author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship.
Not sure where you stand? Experts say these are the top signs you should schedule a premarital counseling session:
1. You're fighting over how big or small of a wedding to have, and you can't reconcile this difference.
2. You're arguing over all the elements of the wedding, and you're not on the same page.
3. You or your partner doubt whether you're making the right decision.
4. You're reluctant to plan anything at all, for fear you're making the wrong choice.
5. Your family doesn't like your fiancé, or vice versa. "This can make potential wedding plans difficult and upsetting," Greer says.
6. You're not on the same page about how much closeness and space you need. Counselling can help you address how you'll tell each other when you need a little breathing room, Engler says.

When scheduling an intake appointment or consultation you are asked to pay in advance as a scheduling deposit. We cannot hold your appointment until you have paid this deposit. Our intention is to encourage those who have a scheduled appointment to honor their commitment to the process, as no-shows limit other patients' access to medical care. This scheduling deposit is fully refundable, if you cancel at least 48 business hours before your appointment. For example, if you have a 1:00 PM appointment on a Monday, the deadline for cancellation or rescheduling would be the prior Thursday at 1:00 PM.
This deposit will be forfeited if you are more than 20 minutes late, or cancel with less than 2 business days' (48 hours) notice. Please note you may always cancel your appointments with us at any time; however, you may be charged as described above if you do so without adequate notice.
Boulder Mind Care does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid for ketamine infusion therapy. Currently, we accept cash, ACH transfer, credit cards, debit cards, HSA accounts, and Care Credit. With Care Credit, you can spread out the payments for the Initial Consult and Initial Series of six infusions so that it is much more affordable. We require payment in full before treatment, at least two business days in advance. Payments are processed by a secure and encrypted payment processor. You also will be asked to provide a credit or debit card, which will be retained for future services.
We realize there are other clinics that give cheaper ketamine therapy. Some of them adopt a 'Dollar Store' approach. Some do not give intravenous ketamine, which is the "Gold Standard" and the most precise, controllable, and effective route of administration. Some treat multiple patients at the same time in the same room. Some monitor their patients infrequently, not at all, or using inexperienced medical assistants. We strive to provide you with a private, serene environment. At Boulder Mind Care, our mission is to provide you with the most effective, state-of-the-art care, personally administered and monitored by a board-certified physician. We are dedicated to supporting you to live the life you desire. We do not overbook or rush our sessions with you.

Our fee schedule is as follows:
Initial Consultation: $390 (due at time of scheduling the appointment).
Infusions for mood disorders: $690 per infusion (due in full two business days before date of infusion appointment). These are between 40 and 55 minutes duration.
Infusions for chronic pain: $1,500 per infusion (due in full two business days before date of infusion appointment). These are typically 2 to 4 hour infusions, most often done between 3 and 5 days in a row.
Infusions for drug and alcohol addiction: $690 per infusion (due in full two business days before date of infusion appointment). These are between 40 and 55 minutes duration.
Infusions for KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy): same as above for mood disorders less than one hour duration; $900 for 90 minute sessions, $1,150 for 2 hour sessions.
We offer a 10% discount to veterans, active duty military, retired and active duty law enforcement, other first responders, and other licensed medical professionals. Thank you for your service!
For those with PPO type health insurance, you may be able to get partially reimbursed for the cost of your visit, though this is not guaranteed. After you complete your initial series of infusions, you may request a receipt (superbill) from us which details procedure codes, diagnosis, and fees paid. You may then submit the superbill to your insurance provider for direct reimbursement to you. We do not process insurance claims or communicate directly with insurance companies.
Finally, Medicare patients will be asked to sign an advance beneficiary notice acknowledging that we do not accept Medicare.

President Rouhani Invited to Foreign Countries: Adviser
- October, 28, 2013 - 20:30
- Politics news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has received a couple of invitations to visit some foreign countries, his media adviser said, but noted that no decision on the matter has been made so far.
"There are a number of requests from foreign countries for president's visit," Mohammad Reza Sadeq told Tasnim on Monday.
But he said a decision, which could be announced publicly, has not been made so far.
President Rouhani has on numerous occasions, including in his UN General Assembly address, noted that his government is after constructive and peaceful interaction with the whole world.
"We will seek effective and constructive understanding and interaction with the outside world, focus on mutual confidence building with our neighbors and other regional and international actors... We will work on easing and removing tensions in our foreign relations and strengthening our relationship with our traditional and new partners in all regions," Rouhani told the UN in September.
Mohammad Reza Sadeq announced earlier that the Iranian chief executive had held separate meetings with presidents and prime ministers of 17 different countries on the sidelines of the 68th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

I have lived in South Korea working as an ESL Instructor for three years (at the time of writing this). One of the benefits of living in another country long-term is that you get to experience things first hand, not just reading about them through media outlets.
I've had the chance to learn about many aspects of Korean culture since arriving; from martial arts, to cultural nuances and expectations, and pop culture fads. It's the last of these that made vivid the whole phenomenon of plastic surgery in South Korea.
The more I interacted with students (particularly middle school girls), saw advertisements on the streets, watched Korean movies, and everything in between, I began to realize that plastic surgery is an integral part of Korean society.
In this episode, recorded a bit late due to Noelle's cold, we accidentally get way off course several times, but the discussion itself should still be interesting.
It's early morning. As the sun creeps over the horizon I am dressed and walking as people around me sleep. The eerie stillness of dawn is broken by a 50-year-old woman clad in bright pink jogging around the nearby playground. As she makes her approach to the swings, feeling eyes upon her, she turns to stare at me. Ignoring the glare I walk onwards to the bus stop.
Koreans care for their image. Walking down a high street you will see brands plastered over the citizens who have opted to buy luxury brands with their hard-earned cash.
A recent comment on my post From Asian to Caucasian: Response From a Reader from last year, and which I'm sure you'll all agree is worth highlighting here rather than having it wasted unread in obscurity on an old post!
RODEM plastic surgery
Girls (and maybe guys) ! Best grade botox/price hands down in Somyon.

I have also written in my past post that how can you change the query my old post to change query . Here is another way.
Sometime requirements can be dynamically change SQL query where clause in View Object. I found on internet .so for the reference, i am sharing.
To use this functionality, you need to override buildWhereClause(StringBuffer sqlBuffer, int noBindVars) method in view object implementation. You use sqlBuffer parameter in this method (which contains SQL query where in StringBuffer) to change SQL in correlation to you needs. Just replace, remove, add string in this parameter. Just remember to use same bind variables names which will be use in VO SQL call (generic bind variables names are named like :vc_temp_1, :vc_temp_2,…).
@Override protected boolean buildWhereClause(StringBuffer sqlBuffer, int noBindVars) { //call super and see if there is where clause. boolean hasWhereClause = super.buildWhereClause(sqlBuffer, noBindVars); if (hasWhereClause) { //modify existing where query. } else { //or if you add where clause then return true; hasWhereClause = false; } return hasWhereClause; }

No Spice, No Dice
A couple more notes from this week:
Thursday was Father's Day here in Spain (el dia de padre). However unlike the US the day passed pretty normally. My family didn't go out to any restaurants or prepare anything special for dinner. I talked with Fran and he said that's pretty normal. However there were sales at all the shopping centers leading up to the day so my guess is that they give gifts at the very least.
Tuesday was St. Paddy's Day. Not celebrated but I was able to drag one friend out to an irish pub with me to celebrate. Not a terrible amount of people out and about to celebrate here. But that's to be expected I guess when they don't celebrate St. Paddy's Day (and it was a Tuesday). The section of town with the majority of bars (for students at least), known as old town here (centro antiguo in Spanish) had some celebrations going on. For example, The Asturiano, a popular bar in old town was offering green beer but compared to a normal Friday/Saturday night, not a big turnout.
On Thursday I also visited el Naranco, a small subsystem of mountains just north of Oviedo with Fran. You can hike to the top, but to get there and back it takes a full afternoon. So we drove there. At the top they have a statue of el Cristo (Christ) that was a public initiative involving a public collection of funds. It's pretty tall, but not nearly as tall or massive as el Cristo in Rio de Janeiro. From the top there is a great view of all of Oviedo, and of course the surrounding area. I didn't take any pictures because it was rather cloudy and our view was limited. However on a nice day there is a great view of the sea, and most of the port town Gijon from the top. I'll have to go back on a nicer day in order to take some pictures.
On the way up you can also visit an old royal summer house and a church built in the 9th century for the royalty Spain. I believe it was constructed for Ramiro I if you care to wikipedia... No pictures of these either, maybe next time!
Also I learned that here in northern Spain they have a problem with car accidents involving wild pigs. Fran told me that if you hit a pig by accident, it is best to kill it with the first impact. Sounds strange but he said if you have proof that the pig caused damage to your car, you can get all the damages reimbursed by the government. So, if you hit a pig and it gets away, you have to pay for all the damages yourself. Fran says they are built like tanks and therefore are rather hard to kill on the first impact especially if your natural reaction is to slam on the brakes.
For Marcy, I asked my host mom about spices she uses but she didn't name anything special (she said salt and pepper, haha). I haven't had any spicy food since I got here (with the exception of one dish called Picadillo which I don't think is native to this Asturias), so I think they prefer to eat without spice more or less. I'll try asking Fran my conversation buddy and maybe a couple of other Spanish friends but my guess is, like me, they don't know much about spices and cooking.
There's saffron, but I think that's more southern Spain because I haven't had anything with saffron (although I think the Picadillo may have had some, not sure).
I also got to try Torta de Queso recently, which translates almost literally to cheesecake but the composition and taste of torta de queso is much much different. It's very sweet, with a taste of caramel and I guess, cheese?. It's not as firm as cheesecake either. I'm a big fan.
Also since arriving here I have dropped soda from my diet, which I thought to be impossible but it seems I have been proven otherwise. I also switched from green tea to coffee. I know it seems strange especially for me but I really have no problem living without soda. Woohoo maybe now I'll be spared of late onset diabetes! :) Now we'll have to see if I can return to the US without regressing.
Next weekend I'm going to Galicia, the "state" just West of Asturias. I think here they call their states principalities (principados) but I don't know. I forget the exact word. We're going primarily to visit the port city of A Coruña and, of course, the famous Santiago de Compostela. It´s a popular pilgrimage destination, but we´re not walking the entire pilgrimage, just the last couple kilometers I hope.
My intensive Spanish class just finished up and I got a 9,5 out of 10,0. Like I said, easy class, but very helpful with learning useful phrases, practicing, in the first month.

I think they call their states autonomias? I can't remember for sure, I'll have to ask Jose. The pig thing is hilarious. The soda thing is incredulous. You're going to visit all the places Dad and I want to go when we are there. So take note of what is good/not good or that you didn't get to see. A Coruna (technically La changed to A in Galicia), is on our list, as well as Santiago d.c. The cathedral on the Spanish Euro coins is the cathedral there, as I recall. MomReplyDelete
NO MORE MOUNTAIN DEW!!! hahaReplyDelete
Enjoy your trip!! The pig thing reminds me of how you're suppose to accelerate and hit deer rather than brake.

We are so enjoying hearing about life in Oviedo. Sounds like you are having a great experience. Glad classes are going well too. Seems like you have SO many holidays!!!Don't get too used to that kind of schedule. Know you'll have a good time with Mom and Dad there. Mom won't have to do all the talking to locals this time, will she? Know your Spanish must be improving by the day.
Can't imagine you've given up Mountain Dew! That's almost unbelievable!! You'll be coming home a changed man!
Keep the info and pictures coming...we look forward to them.

by Haruki Murakam
Vintage International/Random House, 2005
"Writing is nothing more than a guided dream." Jorge Luis Borges "How do you review a book like Kafka on the Shore?" Chris asked. This is Chris, of the long list of recommended books. No problem, I told him. Wrong. Not easy. Nonetheless I'm going to give it a stab, because the book is a phenomenon and worth the read. I'm not saying everyone will take to this book the way Chris did. It took me awhile. I have this new rule I use, my friend Marge's rule: Read as many pages you are old, but if the author hasn't hooked you by then, move on. Too many books and too little time. But by page 54 (my current age), I was still leery. The reality spun by Haruki Murakami (one of Japans most popular authors) isn't just foreign (taking place in Japan with Shinto overtones) it is also fantastical, with talking cats and "kami" spirits that inhabit both the animate and the inanimate – bodies as well as stones. I'm not usually a reader of fantasy. I tend to like my stories rational. But now and then (A Hundred Years of Solitude, The Time Traveler's Wife, All the Names) I've loosened my grip and enjoyed the ride. So I kept reading. In part because Chris loved the book and I appreciate his literary taste, but also because the New York Times rated Kafka on the Shore their number one selection for best fiction of 2005. I'm glad I did, because by page 69 I was hooked. If you prefer to puzzle out a novel's direction on your own, read no further – grab the book and plunge. But if, like me, you prefer to know something of the direction in which you are headed when reading fantasy, read on. There are two stories and two heroes in this novel, brilliantly braided together in alternating chapters. The first narrative swirls around Kafka (whose alter ego is a crow, an apt appellation as you will discover). He is a fifteen year old runaway, embarking on a classic hero's journey of adolescent awakening, in search of the man he is becoming. How could I not like this kid – he dreams of living and working in a library. In the second narrative, Nataka, who is mentally impaired, also sets out on a journey – though his is toward a lost past, rather than an awakened future. Early chapters report that during WWII, a group of children inexplicably lost consciousness while searching for mushrooms in the woods. There is some suspicion about a warplane sited not long before, but nothing is verified. Of all the children stricken, only Nataka does not quickly recover, slipping instead into a coma from which he will not awaken for months. When he does rouse, he has lost all previous memory along with his ability to read. It is the reason Nataka becomes, as he will say repeatedly, "not very bright." Why do I recommend this novel? It's original, brilliant, never predictable or trite, rich with metaphor and symbol and characters I can't forget. The story line is mystical, comical and tragic and sometimes all those at once. The tales are so wild and bizarre at times that I did wonder if Murakami simply sat down at his writing desk each morning and drew details and plot from some dream of the previous night. Word has it that there was a little of this going on. Though he wouldn't be the first author to dream his way through a story – as the Borges quote suggests. Have fun with allusions to Oedipus, Paradise Lost, Pilgrim's Progress, Beethoven, Dylan (Bob), Goethe, Napoleon and the philosopher Hegel. And you might want to google the Japanese Classic Tale of the Genji, as well as Ueda Akinar's Tales of Moonlight and Rain.. Knowing something of these two works might lend gravity to your reading (double entendre intended.) Go – read – enjoy! And then after you've read check out John Updike's fabulous review of Kafka on the Shore in the New Yorker (1/24/05.) He'll clarify some of the metaphors and symbolism and give historical background to Shintoism. But I do recommend waiting until after you have read. Even I don't like to know that much about the direction of a story – it takes away the intrigue. To find the review just google the title, Kafka on the Shore.

Croatia… 2
England… 1
It is going to be a France-Croatia final for the World Cup 2018 being held in Russia. In the 120th minute at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Croatia beat England with a score of 2-1, following a goal during extra time, thus breaking the hearts of a nation and dashing England's dream of making it to the finals, which they have had for the last 52 years.
England were leading in the first five minutes: a free kick from outside the box for the foul on Dele Alli: Trippier made a wonderful shot straight into the net which Subasic was not able to reach.
In the 14th minute, a header by Maguire from the corner went slightly out: four minutes after the first attempt towards the goal by Croatia, a kick by Perisic posed no problem for Pickford. After half an hour into the match, Kane, who was probably in an offside position, drove the ball into Subasic from under the goalpost. A minute later, Pickford made a good save over Rebic. The last good action in the first half arrived in the 35th minute when Lingered kicked the ball out for England from a good position, for Gareth Southgate's team to be still leading 1-0 at half time.
In the second half, Croatia came out on the offensive. In the 65th minute: a strong kick by Perisic, luckily Kyle Walker blocked the ball but then had to stop as he needed medical attention. Three minutes later, however came the well-deserved draw by Croatia: a cross by Vrsaljko from the right, Perisic evaded four England defenders and jumped, kicking the ball into the net with his left leg.
72 minutes and the same Perisic almost brought the result to Croatia's favour but was unlucky as his kick drove the ball into the post. With the rebound Rebic made another attempt, but it was weak and went into the hands of the England goalkeeper. Two more chances for Croatia within one minute: first Mandzukic shoots the ball towards Pickford, then Perisic kicked it high with the goalkeeper not in his place: at 90 minutes, the score was still tied 1-1.
In the first half of extra time, each side had a chance: a corner for England, Stones jumps for a header, while Vrsaljko prevents a certain goal: and during extra time a miraculous save by Pickford from under Mandzukic.
In the 108th minute: the decisive moment: Perisic takes a ball from the air and heads it into the penalty area, Mandzukic enters behind the England defence, and this time Pickford cannot do anything against the low angled shot by the Croatian attacker.
Croatia controlled the last remaining minutes and despite four more minutes of extra time, added by Turkish referee Cakir Cuneyt, the score did not change. Croatia 2, England 1: Croatia for the first time in a World Cup Final and England disappointed and left to play the consolation mach for third place against Belgium on Saturday.
Kroazja: Subasic, Vrsaljko, Lovren, Vida, Strinic (Pivaric 95′), Brozovic, Rakitic, Rebic (Kramaric 101′), Modric (Badelj 119′), Perisic, Mandzukic – Coach: Dalic
Ingilterra: Pickford, Maguire, Stones, Walker (Vardy 112′), Young (Rose 91′), Dele Alli, Henderson (Dier 97′), Lingard, Trippier, Kane, Sterling (Rashford 74′) – Coach: Southgate
Referee: Cakir Cuneyt (Turkey)

Its the Waltzing Mouse Stamps blog party today so I thought it was about time I did some papercrafting. The theme is "New Beginnings" and what could be more suitable than a packet of seeds.
I've offered to make wedding favours for a work colleague who is getting married in October and have been toying with the idea of seed packets - they are all over Pinterest and I love the idea. I don't think the favours have been upon decided yet but lottery tickets were mentioned and seed packets would be suitable for those too.
Here are a few I've been playing with today using Waltzing Mouse stamps. I used a template I found on line and stamped using colours I associate with Provence to go with the France themed stamp set - blue, green and yellow. But I wish my photos were more Provence-like - its such a dull day today I just couldn't make them look sunny!
I've got the seed packet bug now and have a few more ideas I want to try for birthdays coming up next month. These packets are the perfect size for gift cards - something I like to give those hard to buy for teens.
Supplies: Waltzing Mouse Stamps - French Country, Nordic Spring; PTI Year of Flowers (sentiment); PTI Oval Layers die collection

Google has announced that it is discontinuing its online backup storage platform Google Drive, used by millions to create online backups of their virtual media including documents, photos and videos. However, there really isn't any cause for concern as it seems like this isn't exactly a shutdown of the service but more like a restructuring effort by the tech giant.
According to the announcement, support for Google Drive ends on 11th December for PC and Mac while the service will completely stop working on 12th March 2018. But there is no need to be alarmed and rush to purchase physical storage media as the content already uploaded on Google Drive will continue to exist and can be accessed from anywhere.
The discontinuation actually only relates to the desktop application for Google Drive which is used to upload files from your PC to Google's cloud storage. Google will rebrand Google Drive and introduce Backup and Sync in its place. However, Backup and Sync is only for regular consumers while enterprise users will get another option, Drive File Stream, to backup their data online.
Starting from October, Google Drive users will start seeing warning notifications that the service is being discontinued and they should upgrade to Backup and Sync or Drive File Stream. Backup and Sync can be downloaded from here while Drive File Stream settings will go live on 26th September for enterprise users.
By default, Drive File Stream will be enabled for everyone which is why Google recommends that if enterprise users are using Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync on the same PC, they should turn off Backup and Sync to save storage space. The differences between both services can be seen here.
Once again, in essence both these services will be the same as Google Drive and provide online storage to backup important data. Just the way of uploading that data and the name will be different now.

The Balmoral
Although an Edinburgh landmark for more than a century, there's nothing old-fashioned about this Forte flagship. Luxurious bedrooms, a Michelin-starred restaurant, lavish afternoon teas in the Palm Court and a spacious spa add up to a sophisticated 21st-century version of a truly grand hotel.
- Linda Macdonald, Destination expert
The hotel is next to Edinburgh's main Waverley station, at the eastern end of Princes Street, and it's a five minute walk to the National Gallery, shopping and the Old Town. Being well-placed for bus, tram and rail links means noisy, crowded chaos outside, but all is peaceful once past the kilted doormen.
Style and Character
Built as a railway hotel, this is a splendid example of a Victorian take on Renaissance architecture with sweeping staircases, classical columns and royal icing plasterwork complimented by designer Olga Polizzi's calmly contemporary interiors. You'll be helplessly drawn to the dome-ceilinged Palm Court tearoom (complete with palm trees, murals and a harpist on the balcony); it's the heart of the hotel.
Service and Facilities
Staff are friendly, highly professional and efficient, and make a point of remembering guests' names. The hotel has all the services you'd expect; room service, laundry, concierge and valet parking (£27 a day). The spa offers Rocco Forte Rituals and ESPA treatments, and a 15-metre lap pool, sauna, steam room and gym.
- Parking
- Restaurant
- Room service
- Bar
- Laundry
- Pool
- Sauna
- Spa
- Wi-Fi
- Fitness centre
- Steam room/hammam
There's plenty of choice, with 168 bedrooms and 20 suites. Classic rooms overlook an interior courtyard, so consider upgrading to Executive or Deluxe and ask for a city view, or go spendy on a Superior Deluxe – virtually a suite, with views across Princes Street Gardens to the castle.
The look is unmistakably modern, although Olga Polizzi isn't afraid of a floral. You'll find warm colours of earth, sea and sky, or soft shades of heather and misty hills, while bathrooms are timelessly chic grey and white marble. There's a room safe and minibar (with a 'Nourish' healthy option), Nespresso coffee-makers, good Scottish tea, superior dressing gowns and even slippers in two sizes. The larger suites are magnificent – many with working fireplaces.
Food and Drink
Michelin-starred Number One always delights with great Scottish ingredients (whisky smoked salmon, Inverurie hogget), delivered with both dainty delicacy and palate-pleasing complexity. The restaurant occupies an intimate space in the hotel's basement, a template for subtly updated old-school glamour with red-lacquered walls, curving banquettes, extravagantly well-spaced tables and peerless service.
A little more low-key but every inch as stylish, Alain Roux's Brasserie Prince is as traditionally, joyously, convincingly French as the frog's legs and daily grand-mère's specials on the comprehensive menu. Share a meltingly tender Scottish rib of beef in a dining room that positively sings of spring. And don't miss the smoked halibut from a breakfast menu that ranges from a boiled duck egg with soldiers, to chicken congee with pickled mushrooms—vegetarians are particularly well-served, too.
You'll also find a truly divine afternoon tea in the heavenly (there are harps) Palm Court. Fan of whisky? You'll find 500 to choose from in the unashamedly tweedy Scotch Bar, while The Gallery, with a regularly updated exhibition of Scottish art, is a quiet hideaway for a drink, tea or a light lunch.
Value for Money
Double rooms from £180 in low season; and from £595 in high. Breakfast not included, costs £27. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Three accessible bedrooms.
Luxury extends to little ones with cots, bath products, baby meals and babysitting. For older children, special meals (cookies and milk at turndown), books, films and games, with kids' linen, slippers and robes.

Partnership with Make-A-Wish Malaysia for "When You Wish Upon A Star" campaign to make a child's wish come true
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Christmas has long been celebrated every year across the globe with faith, joy and enthusiasm. It is the season of love, happiness and peace. In this time of good tidings, Hilton Hotels in Malaysia are rekindling the true essence of Christmas by making a child's wish come true with Make-A-Wish Malaysia, the world's largest wish-granting organisation for the inaugural "When You Wish Upon A Star" campaign.
This fundraising initiative set to begin from 1 December until Christmas Day, 25 December 2018 is aimed at raising funds and fulfilling a child's wish. Two brands from the Hilton portfolio in Malaysia, Hilton Hotels & Resorts and DoubleTree by Hilton will each be adopting a child and making their wish come true, following their wish journey from start to finish, via proceeds made throughout the month of December.

A total of RM2 from each sale purchase of every Christmas-related item will be collectively channelled to the foundation to bring the magic of Christmas to a terminally ill child.
Jamie Mead, regional general manager, Malaysia said, "At Hilton, we use our power in hospitality to create a positive impact on the community. The reason for the season of giving extends far beyond the needs of our nearest and dearest, but to all who are in need.

Mead further added, "As Hilton's vision is to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality, Hilton wants to surprise and delight these children by making their wishes come true this Christmas. By giving back to society, we are honoured to be able to put a smile on their faces and put their worries behind for a day. This undeniably, makes our job mean so much more."

By making their wish come true, we are able to fill them with hope, strength and joy. Working with a very reputable brand such as Hilton to give back to these children, is something worthwhile to see. Hilton truly is changing the way of hospitality, one step at a time."
Tan further added that this program provides a unique opportunity to make an immediate, direct and substantial impact on the life of the adopted child.

You've got to be careful when you're chasing a murderer through Bulikov, for the world is not as it should be in that city. When the gods were destroyed and all worship of them banned by the Polis, reality folded; now stairs lead to nowhere, alleyways have become portals to the past, and criminals disappear into thin air. The murder of Dr Efrem Pangyui, the Polis diplomat researching the Continent's past, has begun something and now whispers of an uprising flutter out from invisible corners. Only one woman may be willing to pursue the truth - but it is likely to cost her everything.
