Everything that we can do on a Smartphone or Tablet such as watching videos, playing games, surfing the Internet and reading e-mail, all this can also be done on this bracelet device. The creators explain it.
Same thing like regular Smartphone, bracelets Cicret also equipped with a USB port, and a accelerometers that supports Bluetooth and WiFi connections. In fact, according to its inventor, Guillaume Pommier, which makes this device attractive, is because it will be added ability to use a SIM card, so it can make a call.
However, the Cicret bracelet device is still a prototype that is still in the stage of crowd founding.

So I am starting this one worked up again, as that is usually what compels me to write. One of the things that kind of drives me crazy with divorce is the "blame the victim" mentality. That is, for some there is never a victim in a divorce, that both sides of the conflict must share the blame of the split and they won't budge from that viewpoint. Another blogger, who I absolutely won't mention as I don't want to give him publicity or attention cherry-picked one of my articles.
This is how he quoted me.
By her third sentences, she regrets having acted as she tells others they should not — "but not completely." Why? you may ask. No need: Her run-on sentence goes on to say that she was "mad, extremely mad at my husband who had been…" blah, blah, blah.
Those blah, blah, blahs….that he left out were in fact quite important. I wrote the following.
I was mad, extremely mad at my husband who had been lying to me for years and living as a closeted homosexual. I had nine years of sacrifice and struggle to keep a relationship together that was ultimately a fraud at its core.
My critic also goes on to criticize me for basically taking none of the blame of my divorce. And to quote him directly, he claims
"I was 100% right and he was 100% wrong" story.
I hate to break it to this self-proclaimed divorce expert, but sometimes…divorces really are that lopsided. I can think of my example, and most straight spouses. A straight spouse is someone who was misled by a closeted homosexual into believing that they entered a marriage with a heterosexual partner. In some cases, the straight spouse may know beforehand that their partner is gay, has gay tendencies or a gay past and they choose to marry them anyway. However usually the closeted partner will go to extreme lengths to hide their sexuality. When the truth is finally revealed what is the straight spouse to do to save the marriage? Continue to live a lie? Live a non-traditional marriage perhaps having new sexual partners, but remaining in a sham marriage? My ex-husband begged me to stay with him, work out an arrangement, live with him in a fraud, he was willing to do almost anything to keep me. I didn't want to live a lie anymore so I left him.
The only exception I can think of is that if a gay partner and a straight partner choose to stay in a relationship and everything is above-board and honest. I know of a few examples of non-traditional relationships that work quite well. But in my situation deception was the only thing keeping my marriage together. And I knew that by keeping my ex-husband in the closet would ultimately destroy him. Because "the closet" is a horrible, miserable existence.
If anything by leaving my husband I released him from this destructive self-loathing. So I am not going to take half of the blame for my divorce. I was fully committed to my husband, I never had an extramarital affair and that was even after my marriage became celibate. I put up with lies and excuses because I was dedicated to making my marriage work.
There are other examples of blame not going evenly to both partners, such as
- One partner is physically abusing the other or abusing the couples children
- One partner is a serial cheater and has not been faithful to their spouse and cannot be faithful to any partner
- One partner is leading a secret life that puts his or her family in jeopardy. i.e. criminal activity without the other partners knowledge
- One partner is mentally ill and refuses to get treatment
- One partner has a substance abuse problem and refuses treatment
- One partner marries the other for a green card or other fraudulent reason
I know it might seem impossible for my critic to admit that there charming yet nefarious people out there who have absolutely no intention of keeping their marriage vows, but these situations are quite common. I blame myself for picking the wrong partner, but I won't take responsibility for his lies.
In some marriages both parties have made multiple mistakes, or perhaps entered into the union before they were ready. They may have both been emotionally abusive to one another or had extramarital affairs. Financial or lifestyle issues and lack of communication might tear them apart. Or they simply could have grown into two very different people than when they entered the marriage. In these cases there are many shades of gray. Even infidelity sometimes occurs because one partner simply wants out desperately and is looking for any excuse to end it. They have an affair, admit it immediately and their marriage is over. Not exactly a serial cheater who lied for years, but a desperate person looking for and end to a broken marriage. I have had friends go through nearly every scenario, and in most cases the reasons for a split is very murky. Neither side can blame the other without taking some blame themselves. But when one spouse enters into a marriage with a secret and lies, there is little the other spouse can do to change that.
Human relationships aren't so neat and tidy or democratic. So to those who insist that I or any other spouse like myself should accept responsibility for a person who repeatedly lied during the marriage I say they are way off base. The best thing we can do is avoid picking another deceptive partner and move forward.

Illustrated Flour Mill Billheads
- Nigel Harris
An aspect of milling history
interesting collectable of milling history is the
illustrated company stationery of flour mills, and
in particular billheads. Most date from the late
19th/early 20th century and many include a pictorial
view of the mill. Many of these mills no longer
exist. Caution is needed regarding the illustration,
which may not necessarily be an accurate
representation of the building. It may include some
artistic licence with exaggerated detail and may
even represent the ambitious plans of the owner for
the future.
Billheads were commonly used on receipts in business
transactions from late 1860�s onwards. Many were
illustrated and decorated with fancy steel
engravings. Some examples are shown here:
This Northumberland flour mill was situated on the
River Aln. Milling had been carried out at Lesbury
for 600 years until this mill was closed in 1925.
The building was lost when it burnt down in 1964.
Stott�s Mill was situated on the River Calder at
Battyeford, West Riding of Yorkshire. The mill was
destroyed by fire in April 1909 and part of the site
became a car park.
Situated near Whitby, North Yorkshire, this mill was
originally built in 1752. Unfortunately it had to be
rebuilt after a fire in 1911. It then continued to
operate until 1989, when it was converted into
A five story mill which stood alongside the Calder &
Hebble Navigation, Calderdale. In 1890, it was said
to be the largest flour mill in Yorkshire. The mill
suffered a serious fire in April
Was probably once a paper mill but in 1896 became
Duffields� first roller mill. It had an auxiliary
steam engine and was capable of producing two sacks
an hour. Circa 1935 the mill was closed and
converted to residential use.

CSV is one of the oldest and simplest format for spreadsheets.
If you've ever found yourself having to dump out some data in this format, Python makes it hella easy to do so.
headings = ['Category', 'Systemtype', 'SystemModel', 'ModelID', 'Type', 'Manufacturer', 'ProductName', 'OrigProductName', 'Processor', 'ProcessorSpeed', 'Monitor', 'Memory', 'OperatingSystem', 'HardDrive' ]
# Open up the CSV writer
file = open("something.csv", 'wb')
writer = csv.writer(file, delimiter = ',', quotechar = '"')
row = []
for field in headings:
row.append(p.get(field, '').strip().encode("utf-8"))
As you can see, the csv module makes life really easy!
One thing to keep in mind is the encode("utf-8") bit is important, as the CSV module doesn't support unicode by default.

By Joe Watson Gakuo
Happy New Year! It is a great time to be alive and if you are reading this, you made it to 2018. The views expressed here are about a significant the oil and gas resources, that have been discovered in the East African region.
Allow me to share with you my thoughts on what to expect from the upstream oil and gas industry, which in turn will affect your day to day life as you know it.
Oil prices have recorded the strongest start to a calendar year since 2014, with crude oil opening at over $60 a barrel. For the un-initiated, the prices of oil collapsed from almost $120 a barrel in June 2014 due to weak demand, strong dollar and a booming shale production in the United States.
Saudi Arabia and Russia
The worlds biggest oil producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia, have continued to strengthen their collaboration in the oil and gas industry. This is one relationship that we should watch closely because it signals a strategic partnership between two oil-rich states.
These two countries have taken a pole position in the last few months, cooperating in ensuring that prices are propped up. Saudi Arabia is very intent on listing Saudi Aramco, and as such they will be quite motivated to keep the oil prices going up as they head towards the privatization.
The risk to this outlook could become apparent if Russia stops cooperating which has been a significant tipping factor in the production cuts.
Oil Production Cuts
In a meeting at Vienna, Austria in May 2017, OPEC and non-OPEC producers agreed to continue with crude oil production cuts until the end of 2018. The cuts which started in January 2017 are meant to clear the global over supply. It is also worth noting that the United States crude inventories have dropped by over 20% from the highs recorded in March last year.
The current deal among the producers is to cut supply by about 1,8 million barrel per day (bpd) in an effort to boost oil prices. However, there is high likelihood of another price collapse if the producers in the United States increase production due to higher prices.
The crude oil export limitation agreement between Russia and Saudi Arabia has been a success in strengthening the crude price and also in market rebalancing, removing the volatility out of the system.
Oil and Gas Project Sanction
It is forecasted that there will be an increase in projects from the 2015 low. The continued recovery of the upstream companies will lead to an increase in their production which will help the midstream and the oilfield services businesses, This is a boom to the supporting ecosystems
Within Kenya and East Africa, the oil and gas exploration companies will continue with their upstream activities motivated by rising oil prices, as well as embark on the development phase in Turkana in Kenya and Hoima in Uganda.
The proposed construction of 1,445 kilometer long crude oil pipeline is due to commence this year. From Hoima in western Uganda to Tanga sea port in Tanzania, the pipeline is designed to carry 216,000 barrels of crude oil daily.
In Kenya will equally be speeding up the process that will see the construction of the crude oil pipeline from Turkana oilfields to Lamu. A joint development study agreement has already been signed. The 865 km pipeline will cost Sh.210 billion and expected to be complete in 2021
Moving Forward
During the 2014/2016 period, over $1 trillion was taken out of industry spending from 2015 to 2020. This means that cuts are over and upstream companies will seek to grow their profitability and operate at lower prices. Overall, this makes the industry better and more efficient.
In 2018, there may be as much as $200 billion worth of greenfield offshore and onshore projects ready to be sanctioned. For example, Saudi Aramco has announced plans to invest $300 billion in upstream oil and gas projects over the next 10 years. With these investments, the oilfield services sector is expected to continue recovering in 2018 in tandem with the increase in the oil prices
In Kenya, it is highly expected that the Local Content Bill will be passed and signed into law in 2018. This law is long overdue as it is meant to strengthen existing legal framework. This bill introduces a raft of rules and guidelines into the country's nascent upstream oil and gas industry, as a means of protecting and promoting local growth.
The global rise in crude oil prices will mean that you as a consumers and motorists will fork out much more from your pockets for fuel or petro-related products. The average landed cost for the products increase with the increase in the crude oil prices. It would a double tragedy if the Kenyan shilling was to weaken during the course of the year. This has already been felt with adjustments that Energy Regulatory Commission made in their last updates in November and December, 2017.
Given the global and regional geopolitics, and economics, 2018 promises to be very interesting in the upstream oil and gas industry in East African region with the first ever upstream awards to be held in June in Nairobi, Kenya, and you are invited to consider learning about the industry or participating in it. Have a great and successful year.
The writer is the Chief Executive Officer of Upstream Oil & Gas Ltd, and Founder, Upstream Awards

Time...a great healer, a great teacher, a great friend...well, only if you manage to keep up with it. Now, I'm not gonna preach about how time fades away in a jiffy and you're left behind clutching the remains of what you've lost. I just wanna share what I felt this morning. It was a moment's work. I was on my terrace. It had been raining a lot for the past few days, and there was something in the air, something inspiring, something that puts a stop to your chain of worries and forces you to think, to reason out your whole life and in those few moments of bliss, everything seems like a part of a great plan, everything seems okay.
Lately there has been a lot on my mind. With only 5 days left for me to resume college, I've been trying so much to lay my hands on the best possible off-campus accommodation deal, for the past fortnight. I have no idea when I shall be alloted a room inside the campus, maybe a month, maybe two...maybe never. It's scary. Being on your own, away from home, so many expectations, your own standards to meet. You know, in the course of life, you're often made to face the greatest of your fears. Mine is 'uncertainty'. I hate not knowing what's gonna happen. Strangely, I also love the unpredictability of life and yet thats the thing I always run away from. I mean, I do realize there's no fun in reading a novel or watching a movie if you already know the end, and more often than not, ignorance is bliss! Still, we all plan, think about the future, and work towards building it in a sort of way that we want it to be. We want to know what the future holds but also want to be the ones to create it. We want it all to be pre-written by fate and yet we want to be in control of things. Maybe it's just human nature and I'm no exception.
In short, I was going crazy over the way things are and that brings me back to that special moment on the terrace. So there I stood, surrounded by that breathtaking beauty of nature, wondering where life was gonna take me, five years from now. Just then, I heard someone crying...crying hard like its the end of the world. I tried ignoring the noise and even considered moving in-doors, but curiosity got the better of me and I looked over the railing. There, I saw the source of all that wailing--a little school girl, pulling the edge of her mother's kurti and producing gallons of tears every second. Her mother looked helpless, bargaining with a vegetable seller and trying to soothe her daughter at the same time--a modern day multi-tasking mom, impressive. I shifted my gaze back to the little girl and that's when I saw it! The resemblance! She was me! I mean, she looked just like me-twelve years back from now...It was spooky!
So no doubt I had a flashback of my own past, my school days, everything reeled across my mind, everything, all the great times I had with friends, all the times I'd gotten into trouble, all the times I'd cried, just like this little girl, cried as if the world was gonna end, but each time, I realized, the world had managed to keep itself together.
There was no difference between me and that girl, I realized, we had different reasons and different ways of expressing it, but we were both complaining, complaining about our lives, something that we weren't happy about--not realizing that sooner or later, everything will work out. Time will go on and before I know it I shall be looking back and laughing at myself for ever having bothered, maybe regretting that I could've made those moments really special by spending quality time with my parents, having a hearty chat with a friend, or even doing something constructive for my own self, instead of just standing there and worrying so much.
Was it just me or had someone pressed the mute button to this world? Everything was so silent. I looked down again. The girl had stopped crying. Maybe it was time that I should too.

Follow-up contact to customers after service visits at dealerships in Taiwan can have a strong positive impact on customer satisfaction, according to our 2011 Taiwan Customer Service Index (CSI) Study, which measures satisfaction among new-vehicle buyers or lessees in Taiwan who visited their authorized dealership service center for maintenance or repair work during the first 12 to 24 months of ownership.
The study, which is based on responses from 2,795 new-vehicle owners who took their new vehicle to an authorized service center between September 2010 and June 2011, finds that satisfaction averages 35 points higher among customers who were contacted by the dealership after a vehicle service visit and asked for feedback on their experience, than among customers who report no contact from the dealership after a service visit.
Post-service contact is a critical component of the entire service experience, and can help dealerships discover any issues or problems customers may still be experiencing with their vehicle. Following up, whether through a phone call, letter, or SMS text, is also an opportunity to collect customer feedback for improvement initiatives at dealerships. Continue reading ›

text: After we got married, we went to Disney World with my parents (since they were visiting all the way from India, we had to make it worth their while). So, technically not a honey moon (still waiting on that :D). But I did pick up this kit (I can't find a link online), which is really pretty with silver flecks in the thread. I finished it in 2010, but we just got around to framing it. I love the way it came out!

The goal of the trip wasn't to go 4-0. For Colorado men's basketball coach Tad Boyle, the purpose of his team's four-game jaunt through Italy was to get an early look at various player combinations on a squad assimilating eight players into the mix that weren't on the active roster a year ago.
Still, going 3-1, as the Buffs did, is far better than limping home after getting repeatedly routed. And no doubt, facing quality competition so early will be a boost to CU's wealth of newcomers.
Having watched only a small smattering of highlights, and without having yet spoken to Boyle about the experience, here is a strictly statistical analysis of CU's four-game Italy sojourn.
The Buffs shot decently overall, finishing with a .411 field goal percentage, but struggled from 3-point range (.281) and at the free throw line (.690). Defensively the Buffs were solid, limiting opponents to a .355 field goal percentage, and they outrebounded all four foes by an average of 10.3 per game.
One alarming number was that the Buffs posted only 51 assists (12.8 per game) against 72 turnovers (18 per game).
While Boyle certainly won't commit to a starting lineup in August, it is worth noting George King and freshman point guard McKinley Wright were the only players who started all four games. Tory Miller-Stewart started three, but no other CU player started more than two.
Two of the new faces were out of action, as freshmen Evan Battey and Serbian guard Lazar Nikolic did not play. Battey presumably was out due to an ankle injury he suffered just before the trip, while Nikolic remains in NCAA clearinghouse limbo.
A glance at a few of the individual numbers for CU's key players.
George King: CU's top returning scorer and rebounder set the pace in those departments in Italy, averaging 13.8 points and 7.3 rebounds. He shot a reasonable .417 from the field and 7-for-20 from 3-point range but was only 8-for-14 at the free throw line. King posted CU's top individual scoring performance (22 points), top rebounding effort (two games with 10), and led the Buffs in steals (nine).
Tory Miller-Stewart: Averaged 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds while playing an average of 18 minutes a game. CU's most experienced post player went 8-for-17 from the floor and 5-for-7 at the free throw line.
Dom Collier: Even through his ups-and-downs, CU's senior guard generally can be counted on for his solid outside shooting. That touch evidently didn't get through customs, as Collier missed all nine of his 3-point attempts while going 6-for-30 overall. Collier recorded more turnovers (11) than assists (10) while averaging 20 minutes.
Namon Wright: In his first significant action with the Buffs, the Missouri transfer averaged 10.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. Wright shot .484 overall (15-for-31) and made 5 of 10 3-pointers.
Lucas Siewert: Challenged to be a more meaningful force inside, Siewert responded by averaging six rebounds, nearly posting a double-double in one game with 10 points and nine rebounds. However he also struggled with his shot, going 2-for-10 on 3-pointers and shooting .280 overall (7-for-25).
Deleon Brown: Held true to his script by doing a lot of little things well without necessarily dominating. Despite going 0-for-5 on 3-pointers, Brown still shot .524 overall (11-for-21, or 11-for-16 on two-pointers). Brown was one of the few CU players solid at the free throw line (6-for-8) but he also had twice as many turnovers (six) as assists (three).
Dallas Walton: The 7-footer apparently was solid across the board, averaging 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds while playing 14.3 minutes per game. Walton went 7-for-16 from the floor and recorded four blocked shots, though three of them occurred in one game.
McKinley Wright: Boyle seems confident in turning the offense over the freshman point guard, who logged a team-high average of 25.8 minutes per game. Wright seemingly displayed solid shot selection — he went 19-for-34 overall with just three 3-point attempts — and averaged 11.3 points. Wright's next challenge will be to reverse his turnover total (16) with his assist total (13).
Tyler Bey: If defense and rebounding are the areas where the freshman wing can contribute immediately, he came through in Italy with eight steals, four blocked shots, and 6.8 rebounds per game. He went 7-for-21 from the field and 7-for-10 at the free throw line.
D'Shawn Schwartz: The sharpshooter from Colorado Springs went 4-for-6 in the first two games but struggled to a 2-for-10 mark in the final two. Five steals and only one turnover in a total of 60 minutes was an encouraging sign.

Heart Evangelista was initially known as a major celebrity from her youth until today. She constantly dominates the entertainment business with her fashion sense and her killer looks.
Despite a minor bump in the road after having a miscarriage, she happily and proudly attended the State Of The Nation Address (SONA) on July 23, 2018 alongside with her hubsand Senator "Chiz" Escudero. Everyone already expected the actress to be a standout in the crowd for the event, but she out shun the expectations of people once again.
She wore 2 sets of couture by Mark Bumgarner, and both designs radiated elegance and sophistication.
For the first look which is the opening ceremony of the SONA, she wore a dress. It was a short-cut but it had very minimal detailing to keep the look simple but extremely eye catching. The designer wanted to achieve the "clean and contemporary take of Filipiniana" look.
View this post on Instagram
Always a vision in white. I created Heart Evangelista- Escudero's @iamhearte clean and contemporary take on the Filipiniana for the opening of the 17th Congress. Her dress is adorned with minimal pleats and ribbon, and tulip butterfly sleeves, with the Pride flag pin as she expresses her support for the Equality Bill. ???❤ #heartevangelista #SONA2018 #markbumgarner #SOGIEBill #equality #terno #filipiniana #LoveIsAllWeNeed
Heart's second look was a pantsuit – very simple yet lovely. The designer added a touch of Filipino into the modern pantsuit look by designing it with butterfly sleeves.
But what really gave life to the look itself was the pin she kept clipped on the left side of both the looks. Its a small flag with the colors of the rainbow, which is actually the Pride Flag.

Everyone has the right to live, work, and dream. The SOGIE bill is a step in the right direction to guarantee the protection of those rights, especially for our friends in the LGBTQIA+ community. Last year the bill made great progress but we still have a long way to go. My husband and I are in full support of this bill and hope to see it move forward and become a law. ? #sona2018 #LoveIsAllWeNeed
She wanted to wear and show the her support for the LBGTQ community, but also to support the Equality Bill.
Heart Evangelista-Escudero didn't just steal the SONA runway but also went by wearing the advocacy she believes in. She truly slayed the SONA 2018 with her support and fashion.

Spice up your chicken dinner
This week I'm suggesting a spicy chicken chilli dish for two...
1 tablespoon rapeseed oil
150 grams chopped red onion
175 grams chopped green pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
455g chicken
32 grams chilli powder
400 grams tinned crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chicken stock
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon salt
2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained
To garnish: (optional)
Light sour cream
Shredded Mexican-blend cheese
In a large casserole dish, heat rapeseed oil over high heat. Add onion, pepper, jalapeños, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion is tender (about five minutes).
Add chicken — cook, stirring to break up lumps until the chicken loses its pink colour (about five minutes). Stir in chilli powder, and cook for one minute.
Stir in tomatoes, broth, sugar, vinegar, hot sauce, and salt. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring often until the chilli is thickened (about 45 minutes).
Stir in beans, cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. Uncover for the last 15 minutes of cooking. Top with garnish of your choice, and enjoy.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes

Babbling at the Counter #16 - Story Structure
Having a Clear Agenda
This is something video games are great at (and both writers and GMs can benefit a lot by learning from them). The question is: What's the protagonist/player (or players) supposed to be doing? Because, sometimes we all forget about it.
For example, each episode of "Mighty Morphin (sic) Power Rangers" follows a simple script: The evil guy tosses the Rangers around for a while, a lot of Troopers fight them, monster starts losing, they make a ridiculous superweapon, the bad guy grows, megazord, it dies. Say what you want, but they are consistent.
Now, think. In your story, who are the Troopers? Do your characters have a signature weapon? How are they supposed to defeat their enemy?
The Troopers (a.k.a. "Mooks") are the cannon fodder; the kind of obstacle that you send to shave away some hit points and other resources. They are not really a challenge, but successive encounters can weaken the protagonists. In a game, you see them all the time, everywhere in a given level or zone. In a story or RPG, they are the easily identified creatures that the heroes eat for breakfast. You can get some character development or set up a mystery in a scene with them, but most of the time they provide "danger" in a familiar setting with an easy solution.
The signature weapon is how you expect the characters to end an encounter. It's a sure way to get things done, and unless they cannot use it, why the heck won't they use it? If you want to keep some level of suspense, using this weapon should require that the characters "soften" the enemy first. Think the Ghost-trap from Ghostbusters: first they shot the ghost with some proton pack beams, and then they trap it.
Now, do your characters kill their opponents? Or they just capture them for the police? Yeah, you'll want so shake things up now and then, but most of the time it's useful to have a "formula" or procedure to follow.
There are a lot of other "fixed points" you can have to help you organize your ideas (like, "where do the missions came from?", for example) but I'll save them for a future Babble.
It's not about limiting your creativity, it's about setting some guidelines to help yourself (and your players). As a game designer called Mark Rosewater (maybe you've heard of him) says: "Restrictions breed Creativity". Have fun!

We were very kindly invited by the guys at Jesmond Dene House to try out their Early Evening Menu. As regular readers of this blog will know, we don't often frequent anywhere particularly up market… not sure why but I think there's just an assumption that we won't like anything or the portions will be tiny and we'll still be hungry. I can assure you that Jesmond Dene House had neither of these effects upon us and, if anything, we're already thinking about heading back to try more of their delicious menu.
We were running quite late on the night as we decided to drive along straight from work (well, dump the car at our flat around the corner then jog along so Craig could have a drink). Since the weather has been so bad lately, everyone in and around the Team Valley area clearly forgot how to drive and, as a result, we didn't rock up at the restaurant until 20 minutes after the booking (I did call ahead to say we were going to be late). The staff were welcoming and friendly from the get-go and they were incredibly accommodating considering we are so late.
We were offered a drink in the bar but decided to head straight into the restaurant since we were starving by this point and were keen to have a peek at the menu. I was given my very own gluten free menu, which was only subtly different to the regular menu, and I was very surprised to see the vast choice on offer for my dietary requirements. We ordered a couple of glasses of house wine as we know literally nothing about the stuff – both were great, and that's all I have to say on the matter.
We were offered bread and butter – three choices of bread (I just had standard gluten free) and three choices of butter, oh boy! Craig went for a ciabatta followed by a mozzarella, sun dried tomato and olive focaccia – this was a highlight for him. Butter-wise we opted for the 'seaweed butter'. You know how the saying goes: when in Rome, order the seaweed butter! It was delicious and left us very excited for what the rest of the meal had in store.
We caught up briefly with the restaurant manager, Steve, who was so friendly and attentive. I would say often higher-end restaurants have a reputation for being stuffy and serious but Jesmond Dene House was anything but, all of the waiting staff were relaxed and amiable. I'd say it was fantastic service all-round.
For the starter Craig ordered the Roast Squash, Black Olive and Northumberland Honey (minus the Goats Cheese). He went for the veggie option as he is in the process of cutting poultry and red meat out of his diet all together. Although I have talked about my plans to cut down on meat next month, I'm back-tracking slightly at the moment as I am suffering severely with my ongoing digestive problems and am currently on the waiting list to see a dietitian. As a result, I am avoiding changing my diet too heavily in the coming month (that's a post for another time).
I ordered the Chicken Liver Parfait, which was topped with Orange Marmalade and came with a few slices of gluten free bread. It's rare that I get to indulge my love of pâté (I guess this was a fancy pâté) because not many places offer gluten free bread. It was absolutely delicious to say the least, I could drink that orange marmalade by the gallon!
For main course we both ordered the Roast Fillet of Stone Bass, which came on a bed of cauliflower, truffle emulsion (so fancy), macadamia nuts and crispy kale. Wow, just wow. What a treat this was! The flavours were absolutely perfect, and the nuts and kale brought a really unusual texture to the meal. The fish was a substantial size too, with a tasty crispy topping.. this was by far the best part of the meal.
For dessert I persuaded Craig to order the Rhubarb and Vanilla Gateau, which came with rhubarb sorbet. He was hesitant at first but it barely touched the sides so it was clearly the right choice. I ordered the Praline Sponge with White Chocolate and Dulcey Cream – I can't believe this was gluten free! It had more of a brownie consistency than sponge, but it was exactly what I fancied and it was so refreshing to be able to order a proper pudding in a restaurant as I'm usually restricted to vanilla ice cream or a cup of tea.
All in all, this was a fantastic evening and I have no faults to pick. I am dying to go back and try their popular Afternoon Tea and sit in the conservatory on a sunny day. I'd like to say a big thank you to Steve and the tea for having us and giving us a taste of the finer things in life!
Early afternoon menu: 2 courses for £20.50, 3 courses for £24.50 served between 5-7pm

Did DeLuca do the right thing, the wrong thing, or no-thing at all? "Grey's Anatomy" Season 13, Episode 11 didn't really make Alex Karev's (Justin Chambers) fate that clear, although we have some ideas -- and several questions.
Alex was MIA for most of the episode, then Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) -- who had been searching everywhere for him -- happened to find him home in (her) bed. He wasn't in jail! Was he on the run from the law? Probably not. Toward the start of the hour, Meredith and Maggie (Kelly McCreary) discovered that Karev's case was postponed indefinitely, and they assumed that to mean he had taken a plea and was in jail. But in the same episode, Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) had a talk with DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) and he was surprised when she said she missed Alex, as if he wondered why Alex would be gone.
The obvious answer is that DeLuca dropped the charges. But if he did that, why the secrecy, and what happens next?
Why didn't Alex call and tell anyone (especially Mer) what happened? And why drop the charges now? DeLuca was the first to know the truth about Jo Wilson's (Camilla Luddington) past, so it's not like it's breaking news to him that she would be dragged into any trial. Maybe he thought Alex would just take the plea and do some time? Or maybe after cooling down he figured taking Alex out of the hospital would do more harm than good?
Fans love Alex waayyyy more than Jo or DeLuca, and many seem to think Alex has already been punished more than enough. But he did beat the crap out of DeLuca for misreading a scene that actually had nothing to do with him at all. Maybe Alex doesn't deserve more punishment, but DeLuca does deserve more fan love. (Especially since Jo does not seem to be into him at all.)
What's next for Alex? Will he get his job back and just return to work like nothing ever happened? Is Jo really pregnant with his child? If so, will they get back together? If not, will they still get back together? Should they get back together when she wasn't even there with Meredith and Maggie looking for Alex?
ABC's promo for the next episode picks up with Alex in bed as Meredith and Maggie try to get answers, but the synopses and photos don't show Alex at all, so it's hard to say what he'll do next, and how he'll patch things up with DeLuca, Jo, and everyone else at Grey Sloan.
• Here's the synopsis for Episode 12, "None of Your Business" (which airs next Thursday, Feb. 9):
"Maggie gets a surprise visit from her mother at the hospital. Bailey has to make a difficult decision when one of the attendings refuses to work with Eliza, and Stephanie gets caught up in Owen and Amelia's personal drama." See photos here.
• And here are the details for Episode 13, "It Only Gets Much Worse" (Feb. 16):
"The residents are excited for Eliza's next phase of teaching, but they spend the day caught between the warring attendings. Meanwhile, April has a challenging first day in her new role at the hospital." Here are photos.
"Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

You can bet your bottom dollar the NFL will push for top dollar on league-related gambling now that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Monday to overturn the longtime ban on sports gambling everywhere outside Nevada.
The league will no doubt want to study the NBA's idea of taking 1 percent of all bets on its games. It's also a good bet the league will want to maximize in-stadium prop betting to give fans more incentive to attend games. And if you're tired of those endless Cialis commercials, well, just imagine NFL game day when the league is permitted to partner with casinos.
But first things first. The NFL's statement on Monday. It indicates just how concerned the league is about looking clean once normalized gambling opens the mud-gates of a potentially dirtier era.
"The NFL's long-standing and unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of our game remains absolute," the statement reads. "Congress has long-recognized the potential harms posed by sports betting to the integrity of sporting contests and the public confidence in these events. Given that history, we intend to call on Congress again, this time to enact a core regulatory framework for legalized sports betting. We also will work closely with our clubs to ensure that any state efforts that move forward in the meantime protect our fans and the integrity of our game."
There is so much left to process before the league can monetize gambling on its product. For starters, legalized sports gambling is now a state matter, and it's likely that not every state with an NFL team is going to legalize it.
The NFL isn't alone in it's concerns. The NFL Players' Association issued a statement that read:
"The Supreme Court's decision [Monday] reaffirms our decision to collaborate with the other sports unions on the issues of player of player safety, integrity of our games and privacy and publicity rights. Our union will monitor developments closely and address the implications of this decision with the NFL, state legislators and other relevant stakeholders."
That statement also indicates a fear that normalized gambling will deliver a Chuck Norris-
Walker-Texas-Ranger-sized roundhouse kick to the integrity of the game.
And, frankly, in a league that has had its share of "[Fill in the blank]-gate" moments, who can blame anyone for being a little frightened about what lies ahead?
Yes, it's true that illegal gambling always has been a big part of professional sports, especially the NFL. But the league used to publicly distance itself from and discourage others from gambling. It never embraced it the way we've seen in recent times with Jerry Jones and other owners investing fantasy sports betting.
And now, just imagine the potential perception pitfalls that await if/when the league actually partners with legalized gambling. Right or wrong, everything from questionable injury reports on Wednesday to the safety whiffing on a winning walk-off touchdown on Sunday will be scrutinized through a more skeptical lens.
On Monday, the NFL called for backup – Congress – in the battle to stay clean even if things start to look dirty.

Dan Walters, CALMatters: When we think of "welfare," we assume it means supportive income for poor families, particularly those with children. That certainly is its meaning in Senate Bill 982, which won unanimous, bipartisan approval in the state Senate late last month. But the Senate also passed a welfare bill of another kind: Senate Bill 951 to expand the state's tax credit subsidies to film production. Read more.
Susan Walker: What makes the Golden State Warriors champions? Let me tell you about my friend. Read more.
California Forum
Sasha Abramsky: Caged children, lost allies, neo-Nazis: What Donald Trump supporters have done to America. Read more.
Erwin Chemerinsky: President Trump's lawyers say Robert Mueller can't touch him. Is the president really above the law? Read more.
Takes on North Korea summit
Nicholas Kristof, New York Times: North Korea is by far the most totalitarian country in the world. Trump should make clear to Kim that what makes a nation "modern" is not just McDonald's franchises, but also an end to torture and a measure of freedom. Read more.
Paul Waldman, Washington Post: While it may be that President Trump could never have entered the summit with North Korea in a position of real strength, he certainly isn't doing that now. That's true for a number of reasons, but what they all come down to is that Trump is the one more eager for an agreement, and Kim Jong Un knows it. Read more.
Takes on G-7 summit
Leonid Bershidsky, Bloomberg: President Trump hasn't so much undermined U.S. alliances as acted to bring into the open the allies' dependence on the U.S. and remind them they shouldn't take U.S. support for granted. This could end up reshaping the relationships as more transparently pragmatic and transactional ones than they are today. Read more.
Michael Gerson, Washington Post: Donald Trump's performance at the G-7 in Quebec will strike most Americans as just another day at the office for the great disrupter. For Europeans, it was a demonstration that the seedy, derelict carnival of Trumpism is not just a show put on for Trump's political base. Read more.
Paul Krugman, New York Times: There has never been a disaster like the G-7 meeting that just took place. It could herald the beginning of a trade war, maybe even the collapse of the Western alliance. At the very least it will damage America's reputation as a reliable ally for decades to come. Read more.
David Leonhardt, New York Times: If a president of the United States were to sketch out a secret, detailed plan to break up the Atlantic alliance, that plan would bear a striking resemblance to President Trump's behavior. Read more.
Eugene Robinson, Washington Post: President Trump has completely overturned what once was hallowed Republican orthodoxy on free trade. He mocks the party's traditional foreign policy stance, enjoying better rapport with dictators than with the democratically elected leaders of nations that for decades have been our closest allies. Read more.
Their take
Los Angeles Times: Motorized scooters are not an urban scourge, and shared bikes are not a blight on society. They're convenient, affordable ways to travel short distances without getting in a car and driving. If cities are serious about creating alternative modes of transportation that don't involve polluting cars or bumper-to-bumper traffic, then they ought to develop rules that allow the expansion of shared scooters and "dockless" bikes. Read more.
Orange County Register: Do you own your own body? Well, of course you do. If someone takes a piece of your pancreas and it helps them to create a lucrative medicine from it, shouldn't you have a piece of that action? It's a question rightly being asked a lot in these high-tech pharmaceutical days. Read more.
San Diego Union-Tribune: The emergence of a group of wealthy charter school supporters as a potent force has been one of the more striking recent developments in Golden State politics. While their huge donations failed to elevate former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to the runoff in the governor's race, their apparent belief that more charter schools will solve all of public education's woes misses the fuller schools debate Californians need. Read more.
San Francisco Chronicle: It's fitting that the "Healthy Homes and Schools Act" was devised by paint companies. The proposed ballot measure brushes an appealing coat of housing and environmental policy over a cynical attempt to dodge corporate responsibility. Having fought and repeatedly lost an epic legal battle with local governments in the Bay Area and beyond over toxic lead paint, companies are poised to ask voters to overturn their huge liability and replace it with billions of dollars in taxpayer-financed borrowing. Read more.
San Jose Mercury News: The hottest statewide political battle in California this fall likely won't be the governor's race between Gavin Newsom and John Cox or any other contests for statewide office. It will be the looming ballot fights over the state gas tax, rent control, property taxes, data privacy, caging of farm animals and whether to let paint manufacturers off the hook for the decades of health damages from lead in their products. Read more.
Stockton Record: First, fashion icon Kate Spade and then, just a few days later, celebrity chef and CNN host Anthony Bourdain. Both the apparent victims of suicide by hanging. They had it all. Fame, fortune, love. But suicide and the mental health problems that go along with it know no boundaries. Read more.
Syndicates' take
Charles M. Blow, New York Times: People like President Trump venerate black civil rights activists only in retrospect, after their agitation has ceased, often after they are dead, when they are no longer a threat to the status quo, when their true history is rendered in hagiography. Read more.
Noah Feldman, Bloomberg: Both sides are apparently operating on the unspoken assumption that Democrats are more likely to decide not to vote and fail to return the postcard than are Republicans. No matter which side you think is correct, the partisan breakdown on a voting rights case is not a great look for the justices. Read more.
Tweets of the day

The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers. We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stoped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2018

Very few other leaders or past presidents would have taken the meeting with North Korea. I agree with @realDonaldTrump that taking the meeting is beneficial. The alternative could be nuclear war, so anything we can do to prevent war is a great thing.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) June 11, 2018

Democrats in Congress should enthusiastically support our upcoming summit with North Korea in Singapore. After the failures of Iraq, Libya and Syria, our caucus must not be afraid to be the party of peace and diplomacy. pic.twitter.com/UK3XlErCRn

Monday was a very successful vacation day. We successfully got up early enough to make our amtrak train out of Boston and we arrived in NYC a little before 11am. We successfully figured out the subway, and by noon, we were in the Village where we are staying. (We used AirBnB to find a local host.) The apartment is on the 5th floor (walk up), which was a challenge with luggage and weakling children, but we made it up, got changed and hit the streets. One of the things on Daphne's NYC list was to eat at a real New York Deli, so we walked South toward SOHO to get lunch at Katz's Delicatessen. I had researched some NYC delis and this one is where they shot the scene in "When Harry Met Sally," and it seems to be a pretty iconic New York place aside from that. So, we walked in and got yelled at. OK, I know, that's part of the schtick, but it totally bamboozled me. One line for the grill, one for sandwiches…great, i get that, but I don't know how to classify what I want. Matzoh Ball Soup isn't grilled nor is it a sandwich!!!???? So I did the chicken midwest thing. I bolted. Then we found Allen Street Deli just around the corner. It had great ratings on Yelp, so we settled in there and ordered a pastrami, a salami and a NY Sub sandwich, a couple small bags of chips, 2 waters and an apple for Daphne. The food was delicious and the best part? It cost $30 TOTAL. I don't know that I could feed the 5 of us for $30 in KANSAS! Happy Cindy.
We Rated Allen Street Deli 4 Sturm Storms
From there, we decided to walk to Battery park and meander through China Town on our way to our Statue of Liberty Cruise. We walked along Sara Roosevelt Park, which was beautiful. The Statue of Liberty cruise was PACKED. We had reserve tickets, but still had to wait in line for nearly an hour before getting on the boat. We were also sad to see that the last Pedestal access is 3:30…not an awesome thing to realize when you're standing in line at 3:20. No way would we make it to Liberty Island before that. (cue the sad music) BUT, the Ferry ride over was lovely. Great views of NYC, and Lady Liberty, plus, we were on a boat! That's always awesome. I tried to recreate a picture that Dr. Anderson had taken of me when I was a junior in high school and came to New York. When I get home, it will be fun to find that pic and compare shots. The one from high school had the twin towers in the background.
When we got to the island, there was a clear sign for pedestal and crown access ticket holders. I said to David "Hey, why don't we try and see what happens…? Worst they can do is say no, but if we don't ask, they can't say yes, right?" THEY SAID YES! Actually, we didn't really even have to ask at all, so we entered the museum section and learned about the building of the statue first. Then we climbed 195 stairs and went out on the pedestal. Got some more great pics (note the one inappropriate/irreverent one of me….):
We managed to sweet-talk our way to the front of the line for the second to last boat to Ellis Island, and then upon our return to Battery Park, we walked to the 9/11 Memorial. I have no words for this.
Our tired feet encouraged us to catch a cab up to spring street to go to Lombardi's Pizza for dinner. Shockingly, it was less than the cost of the subway. Anyway, Lombardi's was interesting. It's cash only, like a lot of things here in NYC. I don't understand that at all. I hate carrying cash. I rarely have more than $20 in my wallet. On the other hand, the reduced amount of cash in the wallet meant a cheaper dinner tab. We all split their famous margherita pizza, the 18″ with tax and tip was $35.00 Again, not bad for 5 of us. Our resident pizza lover, Sophie, was unimpressed, and I have to add a me too. It wasn't bad. I mean heck, it was pizza, but it wasn't really what I think of when i think of "New York Pizza". Dave, on the other hand, LOVED it. Ultimately, I think it's nice to have experienced one of the oldest pizzas in NYC though.
We gave Lombardi's 2 1/4 Sturm Storms
Took the Subway back to the village and settled the kids in, then Dave and I went out in search of much needed wine and beer. Found a great wine store on St. Marks Place, and managed to slip in just before they closed. Got a couple of nice local wines. More importantly, we found out where to get a really good slice of cheesecake. We also got a cannoli and took them home to share withe the kids. It was a nice end to the day.

The co-founder and chairman of Stone Brewing Company issued a public apology today after an employee with access to the company's "Arrogant Bastard" Twitter account sent an "inappropriate" tweet on Wednesday.
The since-deleted message, sent on the eve of Women's History Month, contained sexual innuendos that some Twitter users described as "tone deaf" and said promoted rape culture.
Good Beer Hunting, a Chicago-based design studio that also operates an editorial website, captured a screenshot of the tweet before Stone Brewing was able to scrub it from the social media platform. It read:
"My technique that will help wash away the ordinariness of your day (or for rare few, cap off a day of significance). Put me in your mouth. Make an *Mmm* sound. Swallow. Express appreciation & ask permission to do it again. Hint: Only wussies do the 'ask permission' part."
The tweet, intended to be delivered in the account's "you're not worthy" voice, ended up offending a number of Twitter users, many of whom replied to follow-up messages sent by the Arrogant Bastard account.
"Got it folks. I can acknowledge a bad move and see that it was read FAR from intention. I get it. I am on the opposite spectrum from the unintended read. You have my support. Gone," the company wrote from the Arrogant Bastard account 46 minutes after the initial tweet.
One Twitter user criticized that message for not being an adequate apology.
"That's not an apology. You are saying people misread your tweet, not that you f*cked up by posting and defending that tweet. Try again," Twitter user @seanbeh3 wrote.
In his apology, which has been pinned to the Arrogant Bastard Twitter page, Koch admitted that the tweet "carried an underlying message referencing sexual consent that was not intended, or even realized at the time."
"I see now that the post could easily be read as distastefully making light of a very serious issue in today's society," he wrote. "We apologize for our poor judgment that enabled the tweet to come off as mocking a subject with very real and serious implications."
Koch, who said he does "not condone sexual violence or misogyny in any way," also said the company would require "a female member of the company" to oversee the Arrogant Bastard Twitter account for the "foreseeable future."
Asked by Brewbound to respond to a series of questions – including whether the company could confirm the sex of the individual who sent the original tweet or if Stone had a social media review policy to help prevent these types of messages from being sent – a spokeswoman said only that Koch's statement "speaks to the points that are most relevant in this scenario."
"Anything further would be an embellishment," the spokeswoman wrote in an email. "For follow-up, please watch @ArrogantBastard and what we do with it."
As of press time, it's unclear what repercussions, if any, the individual who sent the tweet could face.
The misstep, which comes at a time when female professionals across a variety of industries are speaking up about sexual abuse in the workplace as part of the #MeToo movement, also came at the same time as the Beervana blog posted a four-part series on "Sexism in Beer."
The full apology from Koch can be found on the Arrogant Bastard Twitter page. It has also been copied below.
Yesterday we posted an inappropriate tweet on our Arrogant bastated Twitter account. It carried an underlying message referencing sexual consent that was not intended, or even realized at the time. I see now that the post could easily be read as distastefully making light of a very serious issue in today's society. We apologize for our poor judgement that enabled the tweet to come off as mocking a subject with very real and serious implications.
I, Greg Koch, as well as Stone Brewing and Arrogant Brewing, do not condone sexual violence or misogyny in any way. The poorly-phrased nature of our tweet does not represent anything even remotely acceptable in the past, present or future of our business, or society as a whole.
I join with everyone who is angry at the situation of sexual violence and misogyny in our society. To that end we have had a lot of discussion over the past 36 hours on how to reinforce and increase our support of equality issues. I personally want to take this opportunity to do better. Much better. It's true to our belief system, and we'll prove it. All I can ask is that you accept my sincerest apologies and please be assured it won't happen again.
For the foreseeable future, a female member of the company will be handling all tweets from @ArrogantBastard. Effective immediately.
– Greg Koch, Executive Chairman and co-founder.

Other favourite bands: -
In your own words: Longtime fan of The Police and Sting. I never had a chance to see The Police back before they broke up so the first time I saw Sting live was at his first solo tour. My friend and I decided to take a limo from northern Chicago to Wisconsin and we took our old fashioned Italian moms with us to the show. It turned out that our ride was late due to some mix up and we were picked up in an old hippie-like van that broke down on our way to the concert. I thought, "Besides never being able to see The Police, is it going to be the same challenge with Sting!?!" We finally made it and danced on the chairs having a great time! My most memorable moment was when I attended Sting's book signing in Chicago! Pictures weren't allowed with Sting, but the person in line next to me captured some as he walked by us for the signing. She promised sending them to me, but never did. When I finally had those few seconds with him at the signing, he gave me a big hug after a funny misunderstanding of some sort between me, himself, and staff/security. It made my life! Every nervous thought and plan of what I would say in 10 seconds or less, went away. The most recent show I attended was the 2016 Rock Paper Scissors show in Chicago. Wow, Sting sounded and looked amazing! And so did everyone else… the violinist was incredible! It brought back so many memories and I wish I would've kept up on my music when I was growing up. Regardless of the reasons, music always remains in my heart and great musicians like Sting always keep me going. I know that in a previous life I was a musician!

Interview with Author Michael Poeltl by Aoife Marie Sheridan
Question: What have you published recently?
Her Past's Present. A book which involves reincarnation and the relationships we make through time.
Question: How, and when, did you decide to become a writer?
I've written since I was a child and though studied art found telling stories is what I was meant to do. SO I've been writing since I was 10.
Question: Where can we find your published writing?
Amazon houses all of my works including the Apocalyptic trilogy The Judas Syndrome.
Question: What is a typical day like for you as a writer?
There are no typical days for me as a writer. I write on inspiration; scenes come to me and whether they're meant to be part of what I am writing at the time or not they require my attention.
Question: What are your favorite characters that you have created? Tell us about them.
Tess is from my most recent work. She is a 27 year old married woman and a mom who goes through a break-up which is followed by a break-down. She is strong enough to know when she needs help and seeks it out. She is every woman and very relatable.
Question: do you find you "mentally edit" other writers' works as you read them? Does doing this help you or bother you?
It's always helpful to read. Especially genres you are writing at the time. I find I am able to enjoy another authors work while also learning from their successes and mistakes.
Question: What music do you listen to, while writing?
Often I listen to classical. I find it helps in the creative process. I will also listen to alternative music and can pull inspiration from lyrics.
Question: What do you eat while writing?
I find if I am in a writing trance that food is often overlooked. Food fuel is less important to me while writing than music or literature to feed my inspiration.
Five for Fun:
What is your favourite non-alcoholic drink? Lemonade
What is your favourite cartoon character? Shaggy
What is your favourite movie of all time? Bladerunner
What do you like to do for fun or just to relax? Mountain biking
Question: Where can we find you on the web? http://www.mikepoeltl.com

I am going to begin this description by saying that no, I did not make a mistake in the species heading. This is in fact, a ferberite associated with tourmaline, from Pakistan. Despite having a number of interesting and new things on this page, this, in my opinion, is far and away the most intriguing.
I have never seen a pegmatitic ferberite, or any ferberite from Pakistan, for that matter. Usually when you find a mineral from an unusual locality, it is small or poorly formed, for the species. What makes this remarkable is that this is actually a sizable crystal—not huge, but it would be respectable for Yaogangxian, China; Tong Wah, Korea or even Panasqueira.
This is yet another example of the interesting curveballs that the Pakistani pegmatites throw. The Shengus area is particularly known for producing oddball species—vayrynenite, stibiotantalite, and various columbite species, among others.
I would image this would be of interest to a collector or Pakistani minerals…. Or to a ferberite collector… (do those exist?)
