Ormerod ready to soar to new heights in pursuit of Olympic ambition
13 November 2017 / 22:36
Small in stature and quietly-spoken, Katie Ormerod is ready to go big and make some noise in PyeongChang.
The 20-year-old snowboarder is diminutive and determined in equal measure, claiming that her Olympic moment has been coming ever since she first strapped on a board as a five-year old in West Yorkshire.
Already an X-Games medallist, last season she won bronze at the Olympic test event and became the first Brit to win a World Cup Big Air competition when she struck gold in Moscow.
And she's continued that form,
winning World Cup silver in Milan last weekend to start her Olympic season in style.
Fellow British snowboarder Jenny Jones famously won slopestyle bronze in Sochi, Team GB's first-ever medal on snow. Ormerod now wants to make her own piece of history by going even better.
And she's got form in pushing the boundaries, becoming the first woman to land a dizzying, gravity-defying backside double-cork 1080 - two 360-degree front flips and a full 360-degree corkscrew spin.
It's a trick - which has now been viewed 180,000 times on YouTube - that many thought was not possible and she remains the only woman to perfect it.
"I watched the last Olympics on television and I remember just feeling really sad," said Ormerod, who hopes to compete in both slopesyle and Big Air events next February.
"I was just so gutted to miss out because the Olympics has always been my dream. I just had to put it behind me and start working towards PyeongChang and becoming a better snowboarder.
"I was only 16 and the experience of just trying to qualify was amazing. I know I probably wouldn't have medalled, so these Olympics are about winning.
"Landing the quad 1080 just kickstarted my proper career, after that I started getting all the invites to the big events and that's just changed my confidence. I'm in the best shape possible and I feel totally ready.
"Seeing Jenny get that medal really inspired me to train even harder because I knew I could do it too."
Ormerod only called time on her gymnastics career five years ago and admits she was glued to the television during Rio, cheering Max Whitlock and others to their podium performances.
Halifax, 449 feet above sea level, is not the sort of place you expect to find an aspiring Winter Olympian.
But Ormerod could be joined in PyeongChang by cousin Jamie Nicholls, who finished sixth in the snowboard slopestyle in Sochi and became the first British male snowboarder to win a World Cup event when he topped the podium in the Czech Republic last year.
However, she's already overcome her fair share of injuries, snapping her anterior cruciate ligament in 2014 and breaking her back during training for this year's World Championships.
"My friends back home don't really get what I do," she admits. "I have to show them videos, it's a lot easy than telling people I fly off jumps the size of houses.
"I've always been super sporty, my Dad remembers me leaping out of this huge cardboard box when I was one and that's when he knew I'd be an athlete.
"Snowboarding is an action sport and injuries happen because it's extreme and dangerous. I've had injuries throughout my career but I love it that much that I wouldn't want to do anything else.
"When I broke my back I didn't realise how bad it was. It was pretty scary when they told me but I never thought for a minute I'd miss the Olympics again.
"It feels so close now and I can't wait. I'm used to the pressure and I'm trying to harness it and turn that into a positive energy. I'm nervous at every competition but I'm much more confident now."

The Senate Finance Committee has rolled out a long list of possibilities to shore up funding for highways and infrastructure. Among them are possible increases to the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, tire taxes and the excise tax attached to purchases of new trucks and trailers.
The committee has jurisdiction over tax reform, deficit reduction and finding ways to pay for infrastructure improvements.
Truck taxes are just some of the dozen or more discussion points released by committee leadership in recent days, but as OOIDA leadership points out, taxing truckers may be a path of least resistance for politicians when compared to other things on the list such as raising fuel taxes.
"Truckers must be on guard as Congress looks to shore up the trust fund and should keep in mind that the non-trucking population outnumbers folks in the trucking community," OOIDA Chief Operating Officer Rod Nofziger said.
"Despite the negative implications for our nation's economy and for thousands of small businesses, shortsighted lawmakers looking for a political path of least resistance may focus their sights on the trucking industry as a primary source of new revenue."
Senate Finance leaders are not the first to suggest increases to the HVUT, tire taxes or excise taxes. A federally appointed commission suggested those along with moving to a mileage-based tax for all vehicle users over the next two decades to replace the fuel tax.
According to the latest document, lawmakers could consider increasing the $550 federal HVUT by 10 percent, bringing the annual fee to $605. The tire tax could increase by 1 cent for every 10 pounds of maximum capacity, and the truck and trailer tax could increase from the current 12 percent to 13 percent on new purchases. Used equipment would still be exempt under the equipment excise tax.
The document spells out many other possible tax reforms and revenue sources such as limiting infrastructure spending to what comes in to the Highway Trust Fund; devolving federal transportation programs and revenue to the states; maintaining the current system but increasing taxes and fees; indexing the fuel tax to inflation; increasing fuel taxes 10-15 cents; replacing the gas tax with a tax on vehicle miles traveled or VMT; and taxing vehicles more when fuel prices are high and less when prices are low.
The list goes further, suggesting lawmakers could look at taxing new bicycle purchases; replacing Highway Trust Fund taxes with a carbon tax on transportation fuels; increasing leasing fees for oil and gas production and directing the money to the highway fund; issuing bonds; establishing a national infrastructure bank and reducing taxes on foreign investment in U.S. infrastructure.
The Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-MT, and ranking member Orrin Hatch, R-UT, say the document is a compilation of Democrat and Republican staffs and does not represent the committee's view as a whole.
"For the sake of brevity, the list does not include options that retain current law," the document's introductory paragraph states. "The options listed are not necessarily endorsed by either the chairman or ranking member."
"Members of the Committee have different views about how much revenue the tax system should raise and how tax burdens should be distributed. In particular, Committee members differ on the question of whether any revenues raised by tax reform should be used to lower tax rates, reduce deficits, or some combination of the two. In an effort to facilitate discussion, this document sets this question aside."

On the day she was born, Sophie had surgery to correct her duodenal atresia. That day I began pumping and didn't stop for many months. At 6 weeks old, she finally got the hang of nursing and we said goodbye to the bottle. Unfortunately, she stubbornly refused from that point onward to take a single bottle. My supply was much greater than her demand and it took a while to balance out (plus 2 rounds of mastitis). We ended up with an entire freezer full of milk that she didn't use. After they expired, I made Mark throw it all away as I couldn't bring myself to do it.
As any Lactivist can testify, pumping is work. Yes, the new pumps are wonderful and work quite well. However, it takes time to set up, pump, store, clean, and sterilize. Going to all that work for 9+ months only to have it thrown away is a crying shame.
I've been avoiding the pump so far with Helena. She's 4 weeks old now and feeding is well established, so today I pumped for the first time. aWOosh aWOosh an old familiar sound. Hopefully Helena will take a bottle from her dad or sitter and then perhaps I can catch a break or (gasp) leave the overlord behind to go out once in a while.
Despite feeling like a dairy cow, it is a pretty cool superpower.

Art walk: Mayfair
- 3 September 2013
Take a tour of galleries in Mayfair, the heartland of contemporary art in London for nearly a century.
Despite several big British names moving out of the area in 2000 – notably Victoria Miro and White Cube – in recent years the area has attracted major international galleries including David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Sprüth Magers. This route takes in eight of the leading galleries in the area, but there are dozens more lining the streets.
1. David Zwirner
Take the Piccadilly (north side) exit from Green Park tube station, turn left and walk towards the Royal Academy of Arts, before turning left up Dover Street (which becomes Grafton Street). Towards the top of the street on the right, a discreet brass plaque on a whitewashed Georgian townhouse announces the David Zwirner gallery at no. 24, with shows extending over two floors of the house.
2. Sprüth Magers
At the head of the street, at 7a, is Sprüth Magers, its latticed floor-to-ceiling shop windows allowing exhibitions to be seen even when the gallery is closed. They represent an impressive roster of artists including Barbara Kruger, George Condo and Robert Morris, and this autumn the programme includes solo shows by Rosemarie Trockel and Stephen Shore.
3. Alan Cristea
Follow the street around until you reach the pedestrianised corner of New Bond Street, swerve around Lawrence Holofcener's 1995 sculpture of Roosevelt and Churchill chatting on a bench and turn right into Clifford Street. This leads to the top of Cork Street, where Alan Cristea Gallery occupies the corner property, and Cork Street galleries include Waddington Custot and Flowers.
4. Hauser & Wirth
Continue along Clifford Street to the end and turn left into Savile Row. Tailors such as Richard James may continue the sartorial tradition, but there are also several galleries on the street now, the most significant being Hauser & Wirth, which occupies two bespoke glass-walled spaces on the right.
5. Stephen Friedman
Retrace your steps to Clifford Street and take the first left on to Old Burlington Street. This road runs parallel to Cork Street and Stephen Friedman has two gallery spaces, one on the left and his original premises further down on the right. The gallery represents painters Mamma Anderson and Beatriz Milhazes as well as sculptors Stephan Balkenol and Yinka Shonibare.
6. Pace Gallery
At the end of this street is American juggernaut Pace Gallery, housed in the Royal Academy's Burlington Gardens annexe. The sixth exhibition space for the New York City-based gallery, Pace London opened in 2010 with an exhibition of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings.
7. Thomas Dane
Walk down through the classic Burlington Arcade and cross Piccadilly, walk left and take the first right down Duke Street, packed with Old Master dealers and the occasional contemporary gallerist such as Thomas Dane (7) at no. 11, a first-floor gallery whose entrance is next to the red awning of dealer Rafael Valls.
8. White Cube
It was on Duke Street that the 30-year-old Jay Jopling opened his tiny first-floor gallery at no. 44 called White Cube, where he showed many of the Young British Artists. Scroll forwards 20 years and visit White Cube Mason's Yard, one of Jopling's two capacious London spaces, this one purpose-built in an enclosed courtyard off Duke Street.

Radney Foster - Opry City Stage
July 14, 2018 - New York
As a young musician straight out of Texas, Radney Foster spent the lengthy drives in between tour stops reading the likes of John Steinbeck, Larry McMurtry, and Harper Lee. Over 30 years of artist cuts later, there is no question that he himself is an established storyteller. Whether it's navigating the ever-changing music industry or battling a sudden, terrifying illness – Foster definitely has a story to tell. In late Fall 2015, the legendary songwriter got the diagnosis every musician fears– a severe case of pneumonia and laryngitis. However, for someone who's been producing songs for almost 40 years, the desire to write doesn't fade along with the voice. During a grueling six week period of vocal constraint, Foster's creative side emerged in the form of a short story inspired by the song, titled "Sycamore Creek," and the idea for Foster's newest endeavor was born.
Heart of Gold Gala - Private Residence
July 14, 2018 - Water Mill
The Bridge School, the leading non-profit organization dedicated to educating children with severe speech and physical impairments, will host an intimate, fundraising event called the Heart of Gold Gala at a private estate in Watermill, New York on Saturday, July 14, 2018. Music legend Neil Young will take to the stage for a special live performance to raise awareness and funds for The Bridge School, which he co-founded and has supported for over 30 years. The Bridge School was started by Pegi Young, Jim Forderer, and speech and language pathologist, Dr. Marilyn Buzolich. Pegi Young and Neil Young were inspired to start the school after they were unable to find a suitable school placement for their non-verbal son, Ben Young, who has cerebral palsy. Since its inception, The Bridge School has been a leader in ensuring that children with severe speech and physical impairments are able to achieve full participation in their communities through augmentative and alternative communication and has developed unique programs and trained highly skilled professionals in the use of state of the art assistive technology. "In addition to being a music icon," said Dr. Vicki Casella, executi... (read more)

By Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.
Inflammation is a HOT topic, an Internet search on the word turns up an overwhelming 37.5 million hits. Journals of inflammation, inflammation research associations, and drug companies are all scrambling to find a drug to treat this scourge.
The cover story blazing through flickering flames on a February 2004 issue of TIME magazine notified the public about "The Secret Killer: The Surprising Link between Inflammation and Heart Attacks, Cancer, Alzheimer's and Other Diseases." The lead in to the story was just as dramatic: "The Fires Within - Inflammation is the body's first defense against infection, but when it goes awry, it can lead to heart attacks, colon cancer, Alzheimer's and a host of other diseases."
How can a simple infection lead to heart attacks and cancer?
That's exactly where inflammation begins; it's the first response of your immune system to an infecting organism or foreign material that trips a switch leading to a "cascade" of biochemical events. Fluid floods the infected area along with a dozen different chemicals including white blood cells and histamine –all capable of producing the signs of inflammation –redness, swelling, and pain.
The extensive TIME article focused on the miraculous drugs that are in the pipeline to defeat this foe. It was obvious, however, that the authors and researchers they interviewed really didn't understand inflammation, otherwise they would know that synthetic drugs do not treat it. By their very nature as toxins that the body is designed to attack, drugs are a primary source of inflammation.
Also in 2004, there were countless headlines about the anti-inflammatory drug, Vioxx, the cause of an estimated 140,000 heart attacks. In fact, when properly studied, most anti-inflammatory drugs were found to have serious side effects, mostly involving the heart. So, along with the unveiling of inflammation we learned that the "cure" for it might be more deadly than the disease. In 2006, it appears that the only drugs that are being promoted to treat the inflammation associated with chronic diseases are the cholesterol-lowering statins. Yet, this is another family of drugs with a checkered history of serious side effects including severe muscle pain and muscle tissue breakdown, global amnesia, and liver damage.
In the TIME article there was no mention that obesity causes inflammation or that the levels of the inflammation marker, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), drop dramatically when overweight people lose as little as ten pounds. There was also no discussion about the inflammatory role played by the yeast, Candida albicans, a common inhabitant of our intestines that can grow out of control. In what appears to be a concerted effort to ignore yeast overgrowth in our population, conventional medicine has not informed practicing doctors of yeast's dangers.
What is Yeast?
In brief, Candida albicans is a fungus living in our intestines that produces 180 chemical toxins capable of making you feel dizzy and fatigued, shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance, and causing you to crave sugar and alcohol, and gain weight. It's associated with PMS, loss of libido, painful intercourse, infertility, numbness, tingling, MS, Crohn's, colitis, IBS, acne, Lupus, insomnia, drowsiness, white tongue, breath bad, body odor, sinusitis, bruising, sore throat, bronchitis, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, spots in front of eyes, and dozens more symptoms.
To the great detriment of the health of our society, this fungus is growing rampant in a large proportion of the population –mostly women. It's one of the many diseases of civilization – the culmination of the side effects of drug and food technology and the disservices of our stressful way of life. The miracle of antibiotics has its downside as an underlying cause of yeast overgrowth. The refining of sugar and wheat has its downside by creating a simple food source for yeast. The tremendous levels of stress hormones that flood our bodies daily, hourly, and every minute in our sped up world also make us prey to yeast.
Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) has been around for decades, ever since we began to use antibiotics but neglected to replace the good bacteria that are destroyed along with the bad. Yeast itself, a cousin to molds, has grown in human bodies since Adam and Eve. Candida albicans is the main yeast in the human body; it lives there happily enough, kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria make small amounts of vitamin K and B12 and help digest excess sugar that gets past the small intestine. A very special group of bacteria also make lactic acid, which protects the gut and vagina against yeast.
Candida is one of the 400 organisms that make their home in our mouth, digestive tract, vagina and on our skin. For the most part, yeast get along with their neighbors. When you begin taking antibiotics, however, the whole delicate balance is lost. Antibiotics don't discriminate, they wipe out most of the good along with the bad bacteria leaving yeast unharmed.
Leaky Gut: An Open Door To Our Tissues
In the absence of competition, yeast colonies grow into all the empty nooks and crannies of the large intestine and even the small intestine. It is a scientific fact that when yeast cells reach a certain critical mass they change from a round budding stage to a thread-like tissue invasive stage. They are running out of food and looking for more, so they pack their bags and emigrate to the small intestine from their main home in the large intestine.
In the small intestine, the yeast threads poke microscopic holes in the intestinal lining. Such a phenomenon is called "leaky gut" – a superhighway to the blood stream with nothing to block toxins trickling across the gut lining. Instead of absorbing life-giving nutrients through an intact intestinal wall, yeast's chemical by-products (all 180 of them), the inflammatory products they produce, undigested food molecules, bacterial toxins, and other chemicals take a one-way ride. The holes are not necessarily big enough to allow yeast to get into the blood stream, so the blood is not infected with yeast, but it carries hundreds of waste products that cause inflammation from head to toe.
Yeast and Inflammation
When yeast, bacterial, and food toxins hit the blood stream they trigger widespread inflammatory reactions by either directly attacking tissues or creating allergic reactions along with the production of histamine. Some of the yeast toxins like acetaldehyde, alcohol, zymosan, arabinitol, and gliotoxin have been named by mycologists –people that study fungi but rarely do they extend their discussion to the human suffering caused by these toxins. A similar lack of attention is being paid to toxic mold that threatens the Gulf states after the Katrina devastation. Any home still standing that was flooded will be covered in mold, and that mold and its toxins could be deadly.
Acetaldehyde is produced when yeast digests sugar. It is a particularly potent toxin that can damage all the tissues in the body including the brain. It is also produced when you drink alcohol, breathe the exhaust from cars, and smoke cigarettes. What most people don't know is that yeast also produces alcohol in the body—enough to make some people feel drunk and give a positive reading on a breathalyzer test. When alcohol breaks down in the body, it produces acetaldehyde. If you have yeast overgrowth and also drink alcohol you are hit with a double dose of acetaldehyde hangover or brain fog. In actual fact, most people with yeast overgrowth can't touch alcohol because it makes them feel so rotten.
Acetaldehyde readily combines with red blood cells, proteins, and enzymes; travels to all parts of the body; and even passes through the blood brain barrier. It damages the structure of red blood cells making them unable to squeeze through tiny capillaries to convey oxygen to needy tissues. Acetaldehyde also blocks the attachment of oxygen to red blood cells. Your brain uses 20 percent of all the oxygen that you inhale but stiff red blood cells cut down that amount considerably leaving you gasping for air and feeling whoozy. Acetaldehyde damages nerve cells, induces deficiencies of an important nerve vitamin, B1 (thiamine), the energy and neurotransmitter vitamin, B 3 (niacin), and vitamin B5, which is crucial for normal brain function.
Zymosan causes inflammation and has been directly associated with psoriasis. Arabinitol attacks the immune system, nervous system, and the brain. And gliotoxin disrupts the DNA in white blood cells killing them outright. Other toxins account for the long list of symptoms attributed to yeast overgrowth and that are eliminated when yeast is brought under control. Researchers have also proven that Candida antibodies cross react with all tissues in the body that have been tested. That type of cross reactivity sets the stage for autoimmune disease.
Weight gain is very common in yeast overgrowth. Our bodies create pounds of fluid retention in an attempt to dilute the inflammatory toxins that yeast produces. Over time, tissue toxins and fluid build up lead to cellulite and weight gain. The gas produced by yeast can cause abdominal bloating that can increase your waist size up to 6 inches from one meal to the next.
The Yeast Questions
The following questions can help you decide whether you should look further into yeast overgrowth as a cause of your inflammation and chronic symptoms.
- Have you taken several courses of antibiotics in the past?
- Have you been on the birth control pill?
- Do you react to the smell of damp moldy places?
- Do you crave sugar and bread?
- Do you feel drained to the point of exhaustion?
- Do you have symptoms of intestinal gas, bloating, and cramping (IBS)?
- Are you troubled by constant vaginal infections?
- Are you bothered by itchy burning eyes?
Where's the Cure?
Unfortunately, the treatment for yeast does not lie in a pill as many women have learned. Even if your doctor is one of the few that does recognize yeast overgrowth, the most common treatment recommended is a week or two of antifungal medications. Most doctors don't understand that yeast overgrowth requires a 6-Point Yeast Fighting Program. Information on this approach is freely available at www.yeastconnection.com and follows in a very abbreviated form.
- Diet: avoid sugar, wheat and dairy as well as fermented foods, and alcohol. Substitute stevia* (see below for recommendations)
- Probiotics (good bacteria): the best ones are acidophilus and bifidus. Obtain products that guarantee a minimum of 2-10 billion organisms per capsule.
- Antifungal supplements: garlic (eat one or two cloves a day), oil of oregano (take 2-3 capsules per day) and grapefruit seed extract (take two to three capsules per day) or take a formula that also includes caprylic acid, pau D'Arco, black walnut, beta carotene, and biotin.
- Exercise: every day, at least 30 minutes, to move the lymph circulation that clears toxins from the body.
- De-stress: with prayer, meditation, breathing exercises, and/or yoga to reduce the amount of natural cortisol that stimulates yeast overgrowth.
- Work with a caring physician. Download a comprehensive physician's packet to take to your doctor from yeastconnection.com. The last step of the 6-Point Program is prescription antifungals from your doctor, but only if you also continue steps 1-5.
It is mainly through diet and lifestyle change that you can overcome yeast overgrowth—but you can overcome it and reduce the amount of inflammation in your life with some effort and support.
*As a physician, I have found that reducing sugar intake is one of the most important ways to control hypoglycemia, diabetes, and intestinal yeast. Reduce your sugar intake by supplementing your tea, water, and other beverages with Stevia. Please go to www.carolyndean.com and click on Dean Wellness for my personal Stevia recommendation.

Hi BGA, if you are a judge what can help you is listen to everyone's points and take good notes. If a lawyer wants to change your mind, listen to what they have to say and then listen to what the other side has to say about the same topic.

Before I start this post I just want to point out how cheap my sexy Nike trainers were… £24 reduced from £80… Thank you Gunwharf Quays and your outlet shops, you babe.
Anyway, I thought I'd do a little post about my gym. I enjoy working out, I like swimming and I love pilates/yoga, but I am, at heart, quite a lazy person. In reality I would probably rather sit on the sofa, eating crisps and drinking coffee, than walk to a gym and spend half an hour on a treadmill. For me it's not the type of exercise I do, it's where I do it. I've been a member of 4 gyms in my life and my current one is hands down my favourite. We currently attend David Lloyd in Woking and it's honestly amazing. When we first moved here I joined the local leisure centre. It probably didn't help I'd come from Surrey Sports Park (the most hi-tech gym, used by actual athletes, just to make you feel unfit) and then a Nuffield gym before that, both exceptionally nice gyms with the fees to go along with it. I hate to say it but you really do get what you pay for. I hated the leisure centre. I can't even really explain why, I just really didn't like it when I was there. Whereas now, I actively want to go to the gym. We go swimming every night and today I spent two hours in the gym working out… Two. Hours. Admittedly mainly because I was putting off doing uni work, but y'know… Healthy life & body and all that… I am no athlete. I still hate running. But if a gym can get me to walk 25 mins in humid heat, then stay there for 2 hours actually doing a workout, it must be doing something right…
- Service as you like it…
I am an absolute sucker for service. Maybe it's from years of working in retail but for me there's nothing nicer than good customer service. When you walk in the door you get greeted with a smile and a "hello!", when you go into the gym there's always fitness coaches around to assist if you get stuck and everyone is really nice. It honestly makes a difference.
2. Hi-Tech gym, bro.
So it sounds really silly, but I love a good bit of hi-tech gym equipment. I like that I can watch Big Bang Theory (or Jeremy Kyle…) whilst on the bike, or track exactly how many calories I'm burning. They've just upgraded the gym so that it's essentially exactly the same as the one at Surrey Sports Park, with a strange treadmill that you make move (God, I'm literally clueless…) and a Synrgy360 which has all sorts of things on it. Yeah, so I've no idea how to use any of it but it all looks and sounds great.
3. A good fitness guide.
When we joined the first thing they did was get us booked in for a "personal fitness training session" aka a induction. I hate inductions. Every single induction I have had has been a complete waste of time. Generally they either consist of – a) showing you round the gym and going "there you go, have fun!" or b) giving you a fitness routine based on random facts you've told them and then you maybe doing it for a week and never doing it again. However, this "personal fitness session" was amazing. My coach was lovely and hilarious. She was genuinely interested and had similar views to me in regards to weight and that the number shouldn't matter (seeing it still makes me miserable but I'm getting there…). Instead I told her I wanted to get fit and work on weights. So we did exactly that. She gave me a short, simple cardio routine that was based on what I had already done and was good at, then introduced me to more free weights so that I can comfortably go in the weights area, stare down the bulky men and lift them barbells. So. Good.
4. Pilates, yoga & availability…
I absolutely love pilates/yoga/bodybalance classes. I find them a great way to workout but also to introduce mindfulness and get rid of any stress. What I hate is when places claim to do lots of these sorts of classes and then don't. There are at least 3 pilates classes a day. THREE. I don't even know what to do with myself. No matter what my work/life/uni schedule, I can always fit in at least one class a week and ultimately that's all I want out of life.
5. Peace & Quiet.
Sometimes, when Pete and I go swimming in the evening, we will be the only ones in the pool. I cannot even explain how nice that is. We have a lane each, can swim to our hearts contents and still chat every now and then when I get tired and decide to float and do starfishes (it happens more than I care to admit…). We'll generally be the only ones in the sauna and steam room too. It means we can both unwind in peace and quiet without having to annoy other people with our chatter. When I went to the gym today there were 10 other people in there. I counted.
I haven't even got onto the nice café, the changing rooms that have Molton Brown… The list is endless. We pay quite a lot of money, but to be honest, it gets me to go. Knowing how much we pay and how bloody nice it is when I do go, makes me want to go to the gym. So much so when I couldn't go for two weeks because I'd had surgery I felt genuinely miserable and then ecstatic when I finally went back. And any gym that can achieve that deserves a medal in my book.

How the rising sales of cars in India have led to the speedy growth of the car care & car wash market
The enormous sales of cars in India have led to the speedy growth of the car care & car wash market. This nice industry has shaped up into a new area of business, creating franchise expansion showground for one and all.
In proportion with the rising car market in India, which is growing at around 10% annually and is estimated to be the fifth largest in the world by 2025 the franchise of car wash brands here have huge opportunities for the investors. Car wash service is likely to exceed $27.4 billion by 2017 globally.
It is a fact that car detailing & car wash sector is not an organized sector in India at the moment. While there are quite a few players like 3M, Autozspa, Speed Car Wash, Express Car Wash in this segment building up the industry. Clearly, the need of the hour is getting more organized players to capitalize the opportunity that this segment offers and hence these brands encourage more and more entrepreneurs to come forward and make the best out of what this sector is offering. Another category is after services of used car, Mahindra First Choice, Carnation Autos & a few others top the charts & offer accelerated growth via franchising.
Apart from metros and mini metros, the organised car wash industry has managed to penetrate its reach in tier- I and II cities.
Over the past decade, the number of specialised car wash & car detailing brands venturing into the Indian market has seen a swift drift. The reason being, franchisors have unique technology and professional service that is further passed on to the franchisees to earn regular clientele, which in turn is a win-win situation for both the parties. Car wash brands are bullish about their scalability, inviting franchise partners to grow immensely in the market.

The Trap – Tricky Bar?
One visit is sometimes not enough to obtain a complete picture. Depending on the weekday it is more or less busy. So, it was a quiet monday night and only a few guests around. This bar has already opened a few months ago but on my last visit it was crowded and then I didn't make it afterwards.
The bar The Trap is located at the end of a corridor between two houses. There are small round tables and chairs outside in the corridor and a few more seats in the interior space. At the top of the room you will find the bar counter. Gold and brass are the dominant colors, the style reminded me of Art déco, definitly of some French style. The ceiling has some stucco elements and nice paintings. Obviously my place of choice was at the bar. The bar stools looked not stable at all and as I took a seat I nearly tipped over. The floor, that is a very nice wooden floor by the way, is uneven and the chairs are wobbeling. When I was looking for the hook below the bar counter I found some sockets. Very handy and hopefully not dangerous.
A water service was right there when I found my spot at the bar. I was handed the menu by the nicely dressed bartender wearing a brownish bar jacket. Fitted the style of the bar. The menu was clearly grouped, eight interesting cocktails and two from the tap. After the revival of bottle-aged cocktails more and more bars serve cocktails from tap. That is easy like quickly tap a beer. I ordered a "Le Fou Gaston". The mixture of a smoky, salty Whisky and a sherry sounded promising. My company went for the "Beast" rounded off with a PX sherry. I was really surprised by the choice of the glasses. If you look at the pictures it seems like we had a wine spritzer and a whiskey cola. That is a no-go for a cocktail bar. Particularly in view of the fact that there are some tumblers in the backboard. Also you can find an antique sink in the wall and some other nice decoration around. Apart from that I have already heard and read a lot of good reports, so my expectation was high and the disappointment correspondingly higher. Certainly there are better days. In between a bowl with nut mix had been served, the water had been refilled and the bartender asked if everything was okay.
Drinks are just that: interesting and definitely deserve better glasses. In the end I would say I am not trapped.
As of tomorrow there will be a new menu with more drinks and different categories and hopefully also better music. My ears were treated with a wild mix of African sound, Hip Hop and whatever. The toilets made it a bit easier to handle my disappointment. They were tidy, perfumed and had big golden mirrors.

Land for saleLavender Bank, Bishops Castle, Shropshire, SY9
Do you like this property?
Call: 01588 433001
Property Description
Key features
- Building Plot
- On small development
- With planning consent for
- 5 bedroom detached house
- Integral garage and gardens
- Customisable before build
Full description
A unique opportunity to acquire a serviced building plot either as a self-build or custom-built project. Situated on the very edge of this historic market town with country views. Each plot has approved plans for a characterful energy efficient detached dwelling.
General Remarks - Plot 5 The Leys offers a rare opportunity to purchase a building plot extending to around 700 square metres with planning consent, which will have all the necessary road ways and services available for connection and use.
Consequently, individuals can build their own home which they can tailor to their own preferences subject to a set design code.
Situation - The Leys, as a development, will consist of 9 individual plots which are set on the edge of this historic market town.
Whilst it backs onto open fields with country views, it is still conveniently located within walking distance of the town centre and is accessed off the popular Lavender Bank cul de sac.
Steeped in history, Bishops Castle has a vibrant community spirit and acts as an important service provider for the outlying rural areas, much of which is officially designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. The town boasts a good range of amenities including doctors surgery, cottage hospital, primary and secondary school, a wide range of shops, mini-marts , post office, pubs, churches and two breweries. A wider range of recreational, educational and employment opportunities are available in Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Newtown. These are larger towns, which are within comfortable driving distance and provide access to the national motorway and railway networks.
Planning - Building your own home has many advantages. You can influence the design, have bigger rooms, more storage, better energy performance or a renewable heating system. However, it can be daunting, which is why Czero is there to help and can provide a well designed low carbon home, better than a traditional housebuilder would build for you without needing a bigger budget.
Czero has got detailed planning consent for each plot. The property designed for Plot 5 is a 5 bed house. If you like this property, you could proceed straight away, or Czero can work with you to design and build the home of your choice.
Custom Build Option - Individual purchasers have the option to work with the developer Czero Home, to build the pre-approved design on the plot for you. Each dwelling type will have a set build cost and is subject to a build agreement, with stage payments as the build progresses. Czero will also work with you to amend the design or deal with planning submission if needed.
Other options are available. For instance, you may just commission the developer to build the shell for you, or you may have your own builder. If all you want is a plot and a degree of freedom, that is fine too.
Stamp Duty -

I don't know much about how these methods work, but what im curious about is why it is done in TB?
Is it to get a glimpse of shunyata? To see how sentient beings are created? Also when personifying a Buddha, do we in a sense become that Buddha?
I am also curious if it's possible for a diety/buddha to take form within your mind-stream, rather than simply just identifying as a diety/buddha?
Thanks in advance.

Said has a number of years of experience in development. Currently, he works as the CEO of Ibnab and Arabgento. In this interview, Said talked in detail about his career and the challenges he faced. He said, "I started in design, then developed on Flash, moving to PHP and ending with Symfony and Magento in 2010."
Said also talked in detail about Magento 2 and the features he loves to see in Magento 2. He also talked in detail about Magento extensions. He is the face of Magento in the Middle East. I hope the readers will love this interview with a very experienced Magento developer of good repute.
Cloudways: Said, you've been involved with Magento & ecommerce for a quite a long period of time. What challenges did you face initially? How did your career begin?
Said: You're welcome Wajid. My study was about building on Java, and since 2005 I started to search for what the market is asking. Thank God, I passed through several steps related to my work (freelance companies). I started in design, then developed on Flash, moving to PHP and ending with Symfony and Magento in 2010.
As you know, Magento is a powerful and flexible system. But for all these features, there is a price, the complexity of development. In the beginning, the information about Magento was rare, especially about programming. We have done a lot of work in researching and getting the information from the system itself.
Cloudways: Currently you are the CEO of Ibnab (A great resource for learning about Magento) and Arabgento. What was the reason behind starting Ibnab and Arabgento? Share some interesting memories from the nascent period of Ibnab with our readers 🙂
Said: The reason for creating ARABGENTO was that I felt that we had to create an Arabic community to teach and showcase the product to programmers and general users. Especially, it was to support anyone from the Arab world who was interested in Magento. So we decided to start, and thank God it worked out well. Concerning IBNAB, it's a project that we had been thinking of creating before ARABGENTO. The idea was to develop an open source program for both local and global audience. It began by focusing on Magento 2 and other platforms like OROCRM .
The most important memories are the hard-work and all-nighters spent trying to understand the secret of Magento 2 in a short time. We got it, because Magento 2 recently has a great range of features for programmers. Then, we launched some free extensions. We found help from the very active community of Magento 2, which collaborated with us sometimes as a learning source, and as programmers. We noticed that owners of Magento 2 are very interested in growing the ecosystem of their product.
Cloudways: Said, Ibnab provides Magento extensions and courses for Magento developers. How do you guys maintain the quality of your products? Share some quality maintenance tips for extension developers who want to sell their creations. Where do you see the Ibnab in the next 5 years?
Said: To support the extensions, one needs to know the views of the users and developers. We regularly observer the comments on IBNAB, Github and other places to resolve the issues. As you know, Magento 2 is a rapidly evolving product. This requires changes and additions from our end as well .
Our recommendation to those who want to develop and sell extensions is to start with small extensions in order to learn the behavior of the Magento 2 system, then grow step-by-step and search what the market is missing, and avoid the competition with the big companies.
Our ambitions at IBNAB is to be the producer in creating open-source technologies in certain domains similar to Magento 2.
Cloudways: Magento is a very popular ecommerce platform. How do you foresee the future of Magento? What functionality improvements are more competitive today, frontend features for customers or backend refinements for Magento admins?
Said: We are noticing a change. Big companies are now transitioning from platforms like ATG COMMERCE to Magento. As a result, we think that large-sized ecommerce projects will be built on the core of Magento 2, even the medium projects will move to Magento 2, especially the Community Edition after the wide availability of themes in the market .
For the refinements that the users and developers are looking for now is extensions for the front-end, but we in IBNAB aim to get the core of Magento 2 better integrated in industries, like telecommunication.
Cloudways: Said, you are ecommerce specialist. Tell us, what are some of the biggest challenges currently facing startups, especially those running their ecommerce websites on Magento?
Said: From the experience we have with our customers, in Magento 1, the bulk of the issues are related to Admin because of the number of clicks and steps required for even simple settings. I think Magento 2 succeeded in resolving that problem by creating an easy admin. The developers need to focus on the speed of the websites. In the arab world, the numbers of the specialists and developers in Magento are rare.
Cloudways: Magento's ecosystem is built around extensions and modules. Name five of the most important extensions that you cannot dream to live without.
Said: Depending on the Magento store that we create, the five most essential extensions are:
- Hacky SMS Notification
- Any One Step Checkout
- PDF for All by Arabgento
- Social Connect by Inchoo
- Any Unicode URLs Extension (with support for Arabic language)
Cloudways: What are your thoughts on Magento 2? Do you foresee a total overhaul in Magento's functionality and infrastructure? What would be your recommendations for those e-merchants looking to upgrade from 1.x to the new version?
Said: Magento 2 is solid in terms of infrastructure and it will be competitive in large and mid-level projects, especially with the introduction of the new Admin and marketplace features. Besides, the weaknesses of the old version has been transformed into Magento 2 strong points. For example, the conflict of the extensions.
I think it's almost time to switch to Magento 2 because of the well designed admin, the unit testing of the website before launch and the upgraded front end that adds to user's experience..
Cloudways: Let's put Magento aside and talk about your interests. Do you like sports? How do you find time to manage yourself? Is there any secret that your friends don't know about you?
Said: I'm not a big fan of sport. I like walking in the forest. I try to make time between prayers and spend times with friends.. A secret my friends don't know about me is that I'm the founder of Arabic version of Symfony. The reason why my friends don't know this is because the community is not well known in the Arab world.
Cloudways: How have online communities of Magento fared in bringing people closer, where they can enjoy sharing their ideas? Name ten of the most influential Magento people, who inspired you.
Said: The communities in Magento are strong and greatly help in facilitating communication among the developers in sharing ideas and establishing rapport. It is a win-win situation. Inchoo, Alan Storm, FireBear Studio and Alan Kent have always inspired us.
Cloudways: Cloudways provides 1-click Magento 1 & Magento 2 installation with fabulous speed of your cloud server on our platform. I would highly appreciate if you can provide some suggestions or feedback about the platform. Don't hesitate to share your opinions of Cloudways for Magento hosting!
Said: Customers of Cloudways are quite satisfied with the platform. If you want to get big with Magento 2, you need a service that helps you deal with the server related issues such as migration. My suggestion to Cloudways is to concentrate on client relations.

Some women who are trying to take their ex-husbands do everything, asking for the promotion. This often makes the man also get done faster possible. If you are a woman who has recently gone through a divorce and wonder how can I get my husband, tell me some tips that can help. Many marriages fall into the pattern of a dull routine that can often kill the relationship. Try to remember something in the marriage when you presented an idea to make a trip or a vacation. If you refuse to try new things in your marriage, it is likely that your marriage has become mundane and routine. Relationships and marriages The Ex Factor Guide Review must maintain a certain level of arousal to make them healthy. If you are wondering how do I get my ex-husband, think of the spirit of adventure.
Most men find this very attractive and exciting. Try not to bend your ex-husband after the wedding. Men who feel they can not return do not want to be harassed or harassed. If you maintain a relationship with your ex-husband, do so by not reminding them of what they did wrong or how they should be changed. Be respectful and friendly. Will give you the opportunity to do something exciting that you will never do before your marriage. Going on vacation or traveling can be done to strengthen any relationship you may have in the rocks. These are just a few tips that could help you if you are wondering how can I regain my ex-husband. Most marriages can suffer from a boring routine that both sides are irritated.
Working With Human Nature to Get Back Your Ex
Remember at the beginning of the relationship how exciting it was and the things we have spent together. You can report these moments by taking a vacation together or traveling by car. If you spend the time to do this together, do not push your ex-husband to do something he does not want. Maintain strictly Platonic relationship and enjoy your company. He has no sense or negative thoughts about how the relationship ended. You just have to spend time enjoying the company as it also uses the principle of relationship. Remember all the attractive qualities that you wanted when you started the relationship. Try to carry these qualities of it. He fell in love with you first and that is something that can be captured again.
Do not create a public crying scene and you are invited to return. If you do, you will probably start hating you and never see you again. This will help you get in touch when it goes wrong. They ignore half that they do not follow him, even if they follow him, that he should not know. If you see it somewhere, you ignore it. Talk to you. Do not look and do not approach. By doing this, you would be forced to think that you have someone else in your life. Or what he thinks is wrong with you and why you do not call. This will also make it more accessible as you feel comfortable. He knows you can not do emotional drama, so you can meet him and talk to you. When your ex is bothered by asking you to call him, he tends to think negatively about you and has to justify all the reasons for your departure. But if you do the opposite, you will remember all the good times we spent together.
