Congratulations to our number 48 tram girls!
On 29 May I received an email which verified, yet again, the spirit of MGC students. In essence the message read,
A few weeks ago my Year 7 daughter who catches the 48 tram shared with me something that had happened on her way to school. One morning, the tram broke down not far past the Kew Depot/Barkers Rd intersection which meant that she, and the many other MGC girls had to figure out their way to school. The girls all started walking but quite naturally it seems, a couple of the older girls took the lead, with some others at the back, and between them organised the girls on the walk to school, ensuring no-one was left behind or lost. Apparently to the point of organising girls to walk together and calling out encouragement to each other not to fall behind etc. I had expected that the girls would kind of just 'follow-the-leader' but was really surprised and very impressed that there seemed to be a conscious effort to look after each other and for the older girls to look out for the younger ones. For my daughter who is new to the school and in Year 7 being new to public transport, this was something she remarked on as being really notable and impressive as well. I wanted to share this very simple story with you as in my view, the fact that this was an everyday event and yet seemed to be such a natural part of the older girls' approach speaks volumes to their characters and the values the school is fostering.
No doubt you will not be surprised with this kind of thing but it's becoming increasingly rare across the community and very heartening to see this being fostered at MGC.

Last week the Year 10 French students went on excursion to a little crêperie in the city called Roule Galette. They serve traditional Breton (savoury) galettes and sweet crêpes. All waiters and waitresses are native French speakers and they are happy to chat and take orders in French. The crêpes were delicious, the excursion was great fun, all our students were excellent ambassadors for our school – as usual! Bon appétit!
Le jeudi dernier, nous sommes allées à la crêperie 'Roule Galette' - une petite crêperie dans Flinders Lane en ville. Le café est très mignon et beau. Nous avons mangé des galettes et des crêpes ensemble, elles étaient délicieuses. Nous avons mangé dans une petite salle privée et tous les serveurs étaient français. Nous avons commandé et nous avons parlé en français avec les serveurs. J'ai commandé une galette qui s'appelle « Tigre Roar ». Il y avait du chocolat, du caramel salé et des amandes. C'était vraiment délicieux et amusant. Nous avons pris beaucoup de photos aussi. C'était très agréable. Je me suis régalée à cette sortie. Merci monsieur Hilton.
Le matin du jeudi 31 mai nous sommes allées à un café qui s'appelle Roule Galette. J'ai pris le train à Flinders Lane où j'ai retrouvé mes amis. Nous nous sommes assises dans une petite salle et j'ai partagé deux crêpes avec Maddie. Nous avons commandé la Forestière et la Gourmande. La Forestière avait du bacon, du fromage, des champignons et une sauce béchamel. La Gourmande avait de la glace, du chocolat, des bananes, des amandes et des fraises. Je me suis bien amusée et c'était vraiment délicieux!
Le jeudi 31 mai, la classe de M. Hilton, nous sommes allées en une petite aventure à la crêperie Roule Galette. C'est une crêperie en ville. Nous avons toutes mangé des crêpes différentes, quelques filles ont mangé des crêpes avec du Nutella, quelques-unes ont mangé des crêpes avec des bananes. C'était délicieux et l'expérience était formidable. Nous sommes arrivées à 8.45 du matin mais j'ai été en retard comme d'habitude. Puis, nous nous sommes assises avec nos copines et avons commandé ensemble. Cette expérience a aidé notre langue pendant que nous avons mangé de la nourriture qui était miam-miam ! Nous avons commandé et payé en français.
Le jeudi dernier, ma classe et moi, nous sommes allées à « La Roule Galette, » une crêperie dans Flinders Lane. C'était vraiment délicieux et nous nous sommes amusées. Nous avons commandé en français. Les serveurs étaient très sympas et nous avons appris beaucoup de choses. J'ai mangé une crêpe avec des pommes, de la glace, de la crème, et du caramel salé. Il y avait aussi 'La Pim', une crêpe avec de la purée de framboise et du chocolat, le Lady Petrova, qui avait des fraises et du nutella (presque tout le monde a commandé la même, on adore le Nutella !), la crêpe de sucre-citron, la banane et chocolat etc. C'était délicieux.
Aussi, j'ai commandé un chocolat chaud, et c'était très délicieux.
"I'm allowed to have voices inside my head, it's my job"- Michael Pryor
On Wednesday and Thursday of Week 5, MGC had two Australian authors come and talk to students about how to write a book and then, how to publish it. These two authors, Michael Pryor and Ellie Marney, are renowned across Australia for their books and successful careers!
On Wednesday the 16th of May, Michael showed MGC the magic to his fantasy-writing job by introducing students to the secrets behind his successful career. Although he is 61, he is still in love with fantasy writing and claims that he has 'the best job in the world'. He wanted to be a writer from a young age and always knew he was destined to write what he loved to read the most, fantasy. Michael has published everything from plays to poems, and has also written 56 short stories, 38 novels and 1 book that catches fire when opened, and diminishes when closed.
That sounds like a LOT of writing to do, doesn't it? Well what makes it even more impressive is that Michael is self-taught. He said himself, "most writers teach themselves through trial and error." What Michael learned through that process of "trial and error" was that to avoid writer's block, you need to create a map of your fantasy world. We learned that, (1) creating new things on the map will sprout ideas in your brain for future writing reference and (2) your map gives you a solid plan of how to describe your characters' whereabouts. It is such a crucial part of writing a story that Michael said one of his author friends spent 5 YEARS on his map before starting to write his book. This map ended up being 2 metres in length, and 1 metre in width! Another way to produce ideas is to name things first. You can name things after, geographical locations, famous people, important objects or ideas produced from your imagination. Thank you Michael, for visiting Melbourne Girls College. We hope to see you again next year!
"When you utilise your own feelings and memories, it is sometimes the best piece you will ever write"- Ellie Marney
Ellie Marney is the famous Australian crime author of the "Every series", the 8th most borrowed YA (Young Adult) book in Australia. On Thursday 17th May, MGC was fortunate enough to have her come and talk about her career in the writing business as part of the Writers Festival, Authors Workshops. On the day of her workshop, Ellie explained to the students participating in her workshop, not only how to start a good book, but how to start a career in writing. If you want to start a career in writing, use the following 5 steps to help you:
Thankyou Michael and Ellie for visiting MGC, we hope that you come back next year to teach us more about your amazing styles of writing!
If you are interested in reading any of Michael or Ellie's books, they have each written one short story in the #LoveOzYA Anthology available at the MGC Library.
By Jess Edbrooke, Year 7
On Friday, the 11th of May in celebration of the new library's official opening, parents, students, teachers and member of the Melbourne Girls' College community came to support the creative talents of MGC.
The evening started with the amazing musical talents of Layla Tse, Imogen Meskauska, Ava Morison, Madeline Coronica and Jaeda McPherson who performed songs and played instruments to entertain us. We were also treated to a delicious range of finger foods prepared and served by Year 10 Food Technology students.
Once everyone was seated, our school captains, Claudia Junge and Ky Luong, and Principal, Karen Money, gave a welcoming speech and a short introduction to the night.
Then our special guest speaker, Jessica Watson, shared her story. Jessica Watson sailed the world at only 16 years of age. She was named Young Australian of the year in 2011 and was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia. Jessica Watson told us about how she got into sailing, how she prepared for her voyage, her journey around the world and what life was like when she returned. Jessica Watson also spoke about her new book, "Indigo Blue", which was published earlier in the year. The evening concluded with in an informative and inspiring Q&A with Jessica Watson.

Writers' Festival Ambassadors
On Tuesday, 22nd May, our Year 11 Music and Drama students celebrated the culmination of their Unit 1 with their performance evening. The music students performed both a solo and in a group.
"Hungry Like the Wolves" was arranged and performed by Ruby Ricci (bass and vocals) Franny Fleet (Piano) Claudia Carlton -Allen (vocals) Emily Tonili (drums) and Lucca Randazzo.
"Somewhere Only We Know" was arranged and performed by Susan Nguyen, Rachel Wat, Maya Ostrawski, (vocals) Angie Tran (drums), Genna Welsh (piano) and Mina Chen (guitar)
The drama students' stimuli was social media
"Rule Number 5"
Daisy Batten, Polly Decker, Eliza Hughes, Sonia Li and Bella McNamara
In a society where social media has transcended the norms of communication, we turn into mindless robots controlled by the urge to conform. We use the colour red to illuminate our subjugation under the power of social media and explore how we fall victim to our fear.
"Mind Control"
Lilli Baxter, Ali Casey, Dilara Cokacar , Jamila Jalloh, Mae James and Riley Stoffel
This ensemble piece makes use of both non-naturalistic and naturalistic performance techniques to comment on the effects of stereotyping and unrealistic expectations within the various platforms of social media. The story follows a teenage girl protagonist facing the pressure to conform to societal expectations and seeks to show the negative aspects of a life lived on-line.
"Smile for the Camera"
Corinna Bentley, Roisin Casinader, Meg Funston, Candice Musker, Gauri Nari and Deanna Vibovic
Our performance 'smile for the camera' explores the changes that we go through as we enter the online landscape; shifts in reputation, realisations of self and reconstructions of our bodies. It is clear to us that, while we're online, we are immediately diminished to art, or to an opportunity, we lose our humanity instantaneously. Online, it is not who we are or what we are that determines self, it is the contextless image we can fit inside a square.
Thank you to our student teachers, Chiara Stebbing (Music) and Dylan Licastro (Drama)
Anne Corry and Lindy Mumme

On May 21st, the environment team held an in-school summit to discuss plans for increasing sustainability within our school community! We had so many great workshops for our reps so take part in including a vegan workshop, student-ran by Lucy Skelton, to educate us on the principles of veganism. We had guest speakers Karen & Ella form port phillip ecocentre for some leadership and team building as well as Jack & Eugene from AYCC who took a Personal Narrative Workshop- helping us develop our skills on how to communicate climate change and use it in our everyday life. We were joined by Sally Quinn with Green Collect who informed us on the processes Green Collect use to ensure the best environmental outcome for a wide range of discarded office and school stationery items. Angela Foley with Merri Creek Management Committee also ran us through an excellent Water Watch Workshop.
The day was super successful and we can't wait to share the new and exciting ideas we have with the school community!!
We would like to thank everyone who came in and ran one of their amazing workshops and can't wait to work with all of you in the future! We would also like to thank the library staff for letting us take over the library for a day.

We celebrate the success Lauren Pengelly of Year 12 has had at the recent Australian Gymnastic Championships. Lauren won gold in the team event along with her level 10 Victorian teammates. Individually, Lauren placed 2nd on beam, 5th on bars and floor and 19th on vault. She finished 2nd overall.
We congratulate Lauren and are so proud of all of her hard work and dedication.
The MGC Weightlifting is in full swing. Over the past seven weeks, the girls have been working hard three mornings a week under the watchful eye of the coaches at Ward's Gym and ourselves. They have been learning the foundations of the three Powerlifting movements: Squat, Bench and Deadlift and the two Olympic Weightlifting movements: Snatch and Clean and Jerk. In such a short amount of time they have all improved so much, not just with mastering the main movements but in terms of their overall strength and conditioning. They have also developed a fantastic sense of club spirit, they are constantly cheering each other on and encouraging each other to push through each rep and each set. Next term the students will start to compete in Sub-Junior and Youth Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting competitions Victoria wide. Every single day they are breaking down the stereotypes for young female athletes all over the world, and we cannot wait to see what they can achieve!
Miss Shaw and Mr Beck
Congratulations to the all the students that were involved in the Semester 1 Dance Showcase which was held on the 24th and 25th May 2018. All students did a fantastic job and should be congratulated on their efforts and hard work.

The MGC Dance Faculty
On Tuesday 29th May the Year 10 Music class put on an evening of stunning musical performances. The students delighted the audience with the funky sounds of the trumpet and saxophone, a flute duet of the famous "Flower Duet" from the opera Lakme, piano and drum solos, to a number of vocal performances in the style of pop, jazz, and rock. The highlight of the night was Anya and Genna's performance of "You Give Love A Bad Name", as they got the audience singing and clapping with them! The students who performed were: Imogen Boyd, Eirene Carajias, Eva Chen, Gabi Denham, Jasmine Frazer, Grace Freemantle, Meagan Gerrard, Cassandra Goldsworthy, Anya Hemley, Cici Hou, Daisy Huang, Deitra Kotsanis, Claire McKeown, Melinda Nguyen, Anastasia Parnos, Jocelyn Phuong, Lucia Stella, Selina Wang, Sylvia Wei, Erica Wei, Genna Welsh, Ellie Williamson, Viva Wilton, Charlie Young, Angelica Zhang and Selina Zhou.
Well done everyone!
The other thing that I really enjoyed was the world. It is set in a medieval time and even though I haven't read many books that take place in this time period I loved it. The world is huge and the story has so many aspects, and together it creates a perfect world. The author did a great job when writing this book and I just loved her writing style. Once I started reading this book I couldn't stop and I felt like I lived in that world throughout the whole story. I think this book is great for people who love fantasy and also enjoy historical fantasy.
Let It Snow is a tale of Christmas joy, humour and love. It tells a story of three romances, one of heartbreak and new lovers, one of friendship-to-romance, and one of a barista and a teacup pig. Yeah, the last one is… interesting. The book takes you on hilarious adventures with all sorts of twists and turns. If you are the type of person who likes feel-good books, this is definitely the one for you. The first part is about a girl who gets stuck on a train going to her relative's house because her parents got arrested for a ridiculous crime. On this endeavour, she gets stuck in a waffle house full of cheerleaders, almost gets completely drowned, and ends up at a stranger's home for the night. And this is only in the first story. The stories collide and you get three different perspectives of what happened on their special night of Christmas. It is one of the funniest books I have ever read and I would definitely recommend it for anyone because it will put you in the best of moods.
This book may just be a Christmas miracle.
Come and join us Monday and Thursday afternoons for Homework Club.
The Library
Hope to see you there!

This may seem obvious, after all this is the man who held the world marathon record, who has Olympic gold medals and World Championship titles aplenty, who can skim around an athletics track quicker than many of us could drive it.
But watching on the television offers little indication of his astonishingly relaxed style. On Thursday, a group of some 50 runners were given the chance to assess the great Ethiopian at close quarters. And for some of us it was an exhausting business.
Invited by his sponsor, G4S, the group met in Hyde Park before dawn. Gebrselassie likes to start early. He wants the marathon at the London Olympics next summer, for which he hopes to achieve the qualification time next month in Dubai, to begin early too.
It fits better into his schedule, he says. But then he is up on the mountains above his home in Addis Ababa by six most mornings, out on his daily 20-mile training gallop. And at 38, he shows no sign of slowing down.
With no visible after effects of dropping out of the Berlin Marathon last weekend following an asthma attack, yesterday he set off for a jog around the Serpentine.
It was a distance that barely registered on his inbuilt pedometer, not more than a couple of miles. But for those wilting in his wash, it was far enough.
Up close, Gebrselassie is tiny. Not just short, but thin too, his legs without any evident muscle. By far the biggest thing about him is his smile.
English runners who pride themselves on keeping trim looked huge and plodding alongside him. Plus, he is remarkably flexible.
His warm-up before he set off, reaching down and putting his palms flat on the turf, looked like a yoga class conducted by the incredible rubber man. He runs with an easy spring, his feet barely pecking at the ground, his back ramrod straight, his chin high, his smile broad.
As he began his run, with a posse of the overweight and the flat-footed anxiously trying to keep pace, the sun was just coming up over the Serpentine, the mist curling from the water, the start of a perfect Indian summer's day.
Watching him run along the water front, with the morning swimmers stopping their constitutional to take in who it was skipping by, gave a tantalising sense of what 2012 promises: unbeatable London landscapes graced by the finest athletes in the world.
It quickly became apparent that a Gebrselassie jog is conducted at a different pace altogether. Soon there was not sufficient oxygen around to sustain the group's excited chatter which had soundtracked the first few yards.
Then the sweat started. Then the steam. When Gebrselassie finished, leading the party to a child's playground where he gave a masterclass in the daily necessity of stretching, there was enough sweat being produced to re-fill the Serpentine. On the brow of the great man, however, there was not a drop.

Well this throws a spanner in the works...
Unless you've been living under a social media shielding rock, you'll know that Kylie Jenner (along with her sister Khloe) is supposedly expecting her first child.
News of another possible pregnancy within the Kardashian Klan sent internet users all over the world into a complete frenzy, desperate to find some nugget of information that confirms the news.
But some eagle-eyed fans think they've spotted a very telling clue in the Kylie Jenner pregnancy saga that debunks the whole thing. And tbh, even we're confused.
Although some think Kris Jenner just confirmed Kylie and Khloe's pregnancies, others now reckon they've dispelled the rumours completely.
In amongst all of Kylie's grocery shopping there was one item in particular that caught fans eyes: tampons.
Which begs the question – if Kylie really is pregnant, why on earth would she need to buy tampons?
More: Kylie Jenner Says Something's Not Right About Those 'Bump' Photos
It throws a pretty big curve ball in the direction of Kardashian-Jenner pregnancy detectives, that's for sure.
The tampons *could* just be for someone else and Kylie was buying them on their behalf, or the whole thing could be a clever plan to throw us off the scent of her pregnancy for a while. But either way, we're pretty stumped at the minute.
Who even knows if Kylie Jenner is pregnant anymore?

We worked hard to put useful packages together and they contained brand new gloves, hats, toothpaste, a toothbrush, deodorant and chocolate.

Working in social media means that you never really get to disconnect. I have to keep my finger on the pulse at all times and often neglect my own channels in order to focus on the day to day and what pays the bills, the accounts I work on.
However I do pride myself on keeping a careful eye on social media news, and today I came about this article on The Drum about the regret felt by the Parisian responsible for posting the murder of the Parisian police officer carried out during the terrible events of last week.
Turns out the person in question posted the footage on their personal Facebook account and swiftly deleted it 15 minutes later deciding that it was inappropriate, however as the fast paced world of social media would have it it had already been picked up by hundreds of thousands, and the damage was already done, the footage had spread like social media wildfire.
It made me think about when we feel we should, and when we feel we shouldn't post something for the world to see. How do we decide when it might be crossing the line? And indeed who deicdes where that line is? And what is it that helps us inform our decisions? Is it our own moral compass or should there be stricter guidelines when it comes to events such as this?
I personally think that as social media has evolved we feel the need to share more and more but are we crossing the line when we decide to share the ending of someone's life? I certainly don't think I would have shared this but I can also see why this person did it in the first place, as a warning and to show people what exactly was happening, but there was probably a better way in which to do this.
Either way I feel sorry for the person who posted it originally they're not proud of their actions but are they really to blame when this type of social over sharing is becoming the norm?
What are your thoughts? How do you decide what to and not to post?

We spoke to a bunch of clubs and societies and they set up stalls by the Ivor Crewe, asked a DJ to come and play some music, and got a load of fireworks. The turn out was great, with over 1000 students staring up at the sky.

Lazarus Vol. 01
In a dystopian near-future, government is a quaint concept, resources are coveted, and possession is 100% of the law. A handful of Families rule, jealously guarding what they have and exploiting the Waste who struggle to survive in their domains.

text: Way back when my family used to do cross country trips (in a beetle no less) and of course we had a CB radio, it was the 70's. So naturally we came to rely on the useful information of the truckers on the road, and when the opportunity arose with a well timed pitstop, we got to admire some of the trucks up close. This one has always been one of my favorites, the Peterbilt. This MOC by Bricksonwheels does it justice with a great paint scheme, loads of detail and just the right amount of chrome.

Wrapping presents is something that the majority of the population will do at some point - we wrap gifts for birthdays, Christmas, baby showers, weddings, and various other occasions.
Consider for a moment, just how much money do you spend on wrapping paper? How much does a roll cost? Do you go for the offers of 3 for 2 rolls? Perhaps you buy the sheets. Maybe you do what I do and wait until the new year and snap up several Xmas themed rolls cheap. I've never seen any offers for birthday wrapping though. Perhaps I just miss them.
With the paper there comes the sticky tape, ribbon, tags. The cost adds up after a while doesn't it? And over the years you could easily be spending hundreds.
Gift bags seemed like a good solution. I have a few of various sizes. They can easily be re-used.
But I've come across something else that I'm chuffed to bits about.
Furoshiki - Japanese wrapping cloths.
There's plenty of tutorials for wrapping with the cloths on YouTube, and various books available. The cloths come in a variety of sizes, and you can always source your own from material shops to get the patterns and sizes you want.
Overall, I think it's a brilliant way to save money. I would have to buy several, primarly to account for the number of Christmas gift reciepants I buy for. Plus I am fascinated by all things Japanese so it's got instant appeal to me! ^_^
The downside is that I'm looking at a website that supplies them and I'm drooling over so many designs that I would need to spend a few hundred to get them all!! Must be restrained ... this is meant to save me money, not empty my account ... but they're so pretty ...
Now all I need is an alternative to buying cards for every occasion.
Simple yet awesome

Identity Design
Axsy are a global payment solutions business based in London, San Francisco and Toronto offering both software and hardware for some of the worlds biggest companies. They operate in a fast paced, high demand market subject to ever evolving change as a result of new advances in technology and changes in user behaviour. Axsy approached us to design an identity that could promote their core values and capture interest from both UK and international markets. Functioning on the same playing field as companies including Paypal, Xero and SquareUp, the challenge was to showcase Axsy's unique offering and position them as an invaluable service leader to encourage a quick uptake of their services.
We designed the identity to offer a confident tone of voice that placed their customers at the centre of their brand. Inviting imagery and an engaging tone of voice helped to immediately define Axsy's values which we combined with a modern, minimal visual language that allowed for wide range of uses across various media. In addition to client specific micro-sites, we built Axsy's flagship website to clearly explain the concept to SME audiences and show how they improve customer experience and sales. Our work with Axsy has been essential to their growth, landing several global B2B partners since launch. The value of our work for Axsy continues to rise, encouraging sales on a global scale and as brand guardians for an ever expanding a highly successful business, we're proud to support their bright future.
We placed people at the forefront of the identity to humanise a largely digital presence, building our visual language around Axsy's customers.
Alongside a software interface design and several animated videos, we designed individual websites for both B2B and B2C markets with messaging to match each audience.
Based on the concept of an axis, the Axsy identity uses bold graphical devices to separate content and draw attention to key brand messages.
The new identity better aligns Axsy to their target market, helping to play an important role in their future development.

I have a whole collection of Lilly Pulitzer dresses that never see the light of day during the winter. The last couple weeks Boston has finally warmed up and I have been slowly but surely digging out all my Lilly dresses. I love the bright colors and fun prints, my day to day office clothes are pretty boring lots of black white and grey. Which can look fabulous don't get me wrong I like to rock a smart looking blazer just as much as anyone but when it's the weekend and it's hot and muggy I just want to wear something that makes me smile. I borrowed this blue Lilly from my older sister. I love all the gold detailing on it, and I love having a sister who has the same taste and is the same size as me!
Dress: Lilly Pulitzer, Bracelets: KJP, Sunglasses: Rayban, Shoes: Nordstrom
Happy June!! Thanks for reading, does any one else shop in their sister's closet?

Today, Saturday, August 19th, 2006, marks the deployment of a new version of the site's submission wizard. It's not a complete re-write but a significant one nonetheless.
New features:
- Shortcuts:
Designed for authors with multiple similar postings. For example if you need to post several chapters of a novel, separately, instead of clicking the wizard, then selecting a pen name (if applicable), then selecting 'New Chapter', then selecting the story – for each chapter, you can save the pen name, submission type, story, progress status, opt out of new categories, opt out of story's end-note, opt out of moderator notes.
Also works for new stories, but of course with appropriate options (for example you can't opt out of categories because they're required). Basically, the version saves a lot of clicking.
- Delayed Posting:
For authors that like to post something to appear later on the site.
If you're an author, give it a whirl and tell me what you think. Of course, bug reports are appreciated as well as suggestions for possible enhancements.

Many people look at the daily work that goes on in high risk working places like construction sites or even mining sites and think how amazing it would be feel to work in such a manner. While the work is amazing, it is hard and also not as easy as it looks either. There are so many processes that one has to go through before they become eligible and competent enough to work in a high risk work environment and these processes are all important. One of the biggest processes that you have to go through when wanting to work in such a place is getting your high risk working license. While the thought of simply getting a license sounds incredibly easy, it is actually the opposite! But regardless of this once you do get your license you are able to become a more safer, responsible and important employee so use these tips to help you earn your high risk working license the right way.
Enroll with the best people or service
Step one in getting or earning your high risk working license is making sure to enroll with the best people. By best, the service or agency that you enroll with is supposed to train you in the very best way possible! The use of the right training resources and materials are quite important at this stage as well. The entirety of your training and the chance of earning your high risk licence depends on the place that you are enrolled with so make sure that you are able to make this decision properly.
The right training materials have to be used!
While some training that is needed for working in a high risk environment is easier to do, the others parts, such as training for a high risk working license is not so easy to do. This is the main reason as to why you must always have the best training materials to help you understand further about the work and the training that you are doing. RTO training resources from Easy Guides Australia Pty Ltd are going to become important due to this reason as it is going to help you study and earn the license easily.
Make sure that you understand the theory
The theory, while it might not seem so important, is actually very important and will play an important role in the training that you are getting. So understanding the theory and making sure you are competent in it is extremely vital to, along with the help of the right resources.

I did it! I updated this blog (and a couple of others) and I'm quite happy with it. I really like this template because it's clean and straightforward and yet a bit edgy because of the typographic touch on the header. (template credits are at the footer, in case you are interested). This was my old template :
Pretty neat, huh? I'm also loving the new interface of blogger and the sleek look of the posting buttons (reminiscent of wordpress?). Even the link button has improved. Cool! So should I do a diet pills review or some other post to start off or just enjoy looking at this blog's first post with the new look? I think I'll do the latter and see how this first post looks like. hahaha More to come, folks!

Holistic Interior design – Bring the nature indoors
When I start to work with a client, a project of making a new home, workspace or other kinds of environment, my process is to find the expression of the clients blueprint, the essence of the person who will live in, or use a workspace.
The process includes a dialogue and questions between the interior designer and the client. The colours I use are the tool to bring balance to the room, a mirror of the client´s spirit to turn a home and workspace into friendly retreats that are calming and life-affirming.
Do you need guidance in interiors, and colour choice, or curious to find out more about my workshops and lectures.
Welcome to contact:
To think we are alone in any way,shape or form defines all logic, intuitive sense or basic instinct. We are intrinsically interwoven into the very fabric of existence. To feel separate is not to be fully conscious. To know we´are connected enhances conscious awareness."

ISLAMABAD, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has agreed in principle to invest in a new oil refinery in Pakistan's deep-water port of Gwadar, the South Asian nation's petroleum minister said on Thursday.
State-owned Pakistan State Oil will partner with Saudi state oil giant Aramco on the project, Petroleum Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan told reporters.
"They showed an interest to immediately invest in the refinery," Khan said, describing a visiting Saudi delegation.
"We sat down and held initial discussions with them and it was principally decided by both sides that it will be a government-to-government agreement."
Details of the refinery's costs and scope are to be worked out later, he added. (Writing by Kay Johnson; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)

Accurate Bit Error Rate Calculation for Asynchronous Chaos-Based DS-CDMA over Multipath Channel
© Georges Kaddoum et al. 2009
- Received: 21 January 2009
- Accepted: 23 July 2009
- Published: 15 September 2009
An accurate approach to compute the bit error rate expression for multiuser chaosbased DS-CDMA system is presented in this paper. For more realistic communication system a slow fading multipath channel is considered. A simple RAKE receiver structure is considered. Based on the bit energy distribution, this approach compared to others computation methods existing in literature gives accurate results with low computation charge. Perfect estimation of the channel coefficients with the associated delays and chaos synchronization is assumed. The bit error rate is derived in terms of the bit energy distribution, the number of paths, the noise variance, and the number of users. Results are illustrated by theoretical calculations and numerical simulations which point out the accuracy of our approach.

- Energy Distribution
- Noise Variance

Integrating Video with Classroom Instruction
When integrated with classroom instruction and learning activities, video can be a valuable resource. Video can stimulate a learner's motivation through gathering attention and establishing relevance to one's interests. Students may be more engaged, independent, and prepared for assessments in their courses when they have access to instructional videos for frequent or just-in-time review.

Window Watch: Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Serge Aurier if he can overturn assault conviction
Tottenham Hotspur appear the favourites to sign Serge Aurier if the Paris Saint-Germain right back is able to prove that his conviction for assaulting a police officer outside a Paris nightclub has been quashed.
The French club have reduced their valuation to about £23 million from £27 million. Aurier has been offered a five-year contract by Tottenham and would become their second signing of the transfer window after Davinson Sánchez.
Aurier appealed this month against his assault conviction, which relates to an incident in May 2016. The court's decision has been made but has not been made public and the player's lawyers have pressed the authorities to release the documents so that, if cleared, he can try to obtain a work permit in England. He…

I have spent the last three weeks really thinking about what I wanted to do in 2013.
How could I grow? How could I become better? What was important? What wasn't important? What was I going to spend my time doing? What was I going to get rid of? What would I say yes to and what would I say no to? What worked about 2012 and what didn't? What makes me truly happy? What fires me up? What should I interact with and what should I steer clear of?
Now I am eleven days in and I could care less that I didn't start on the first of January because I think what I have come up with will help me make this year one of the best in my life. The best I can be personally, physically and with photography as both an educator and artist.
In 2013 I want to become and accomplish:
- Be myself always and don't be afraid of that
- Spend more time outside
- More time to things that matter most to me
- Give to photography (this involves a lot of different things)
- Perfect my teaching
- Get my work out there as much as I can
- Develop some of the new talents I have found
- Finish a passionate project (secret for now)
- Be more charitable
- Read more
- Stop worrying so much
- Get rid of soda
- Focus on being content with now
- Less taken advantage
- Love everyone a little more
- Simplify my lifestyle and be more organized
- Keep a better record of my life
- Health
- Travel
- Prepare always
- Sleep better
- Take a step back from social media often
- Brand myself better
- Communicate more effectively
- Less envy, more gratitude

A tradition in my lay Dominican (3rd order) chapter is the selection of a new, personal Dominican patron saint that changes annually. We randomly draw the names of Dominican saints and blesseds; that saint or blessed can become our personal patron if we so choose.
I decided when participating to let the Holy Ghost work and select my Dominican to be the honory patron of this, my new blog. Oh, how well the Holy Ghost works!
I drew the name of Bl. Jane of Aza, mother our Holy Father St. Dominic. The blog is very new and as I try to get it off the ground and cultivated to its intended mission, I can't help but compare it to Bl, Jane, a wonderful mother helping to cultivate the great spirit of St. Dominic in preparation for his spiritual mission.
Blessed Jane of Aza, mother of our Holy Father St. Dominic and of Bl. Mannes. Blessed Jane was born into the Aza family. She was the spiritual power in a most religious family being mother to St. Dominic, Bl. Mannes and Venerable Anthony, a priest, and wife to Venerable Felix de Guzman. She was "virtuous, chaste, prudent, and full of compassion for the poor and the afflicted." She died at Caleruega, Spain, in the early thirteenth century. She was beatified by Leo XII in 1828.

(E-)Book Read! THE HOTHOUSE BY THE EAST RIVER by Muriel Spark
Title: The Hothouse by the East River
Author: Muriel Spark
Publication date: 1973
Original Language: English
Read in: English
Number of Pages: 144
Where From: Won in a giveaway organized by Caroline from Beauty is a Sleeping Cat and Open Road Media.
I read this book for Muriel Spark Week (April 23rd-29th 2012), organized by Stuck in a Book and co-hosted by Harriet from Harriet Devine's Blog. Thomas of My Porch made the beautiful badge.
First sentence: "If it were only true that all's well that ends well, if it were only true."
Last sentence: "She turns to the car, he following her, watching as she moves how she trails her faithful and lithe cloud of unknowing across the pavement."
From Schultreff.de: In 1944 Paul Hazlett is working in the Compound, a secret government department in Britain, which specialized in propaganda broadcasts over Europe. There he falls in love with Elsa Janovic who is also engaged with black propaganda and psychological warfare in this particular Compound. Other members of the Compound are Miles Bunting, Princes Xavier, Colonel Tylden and several prisoners of war. Among those POWs is Helmut Kiel, a German who has chosen to work for the enemy and is now broadcasting for the Compound. Elsa and Kiel happen to have a love affair and after a few months Kiel is sent back to the prison camp. From there he goes on the air in a prisoners of war exchange-of-greetings programme betraying the identity of the Compound, which was supposed to be an authentic underground German station. Six or seven years after war Kiel dies in prison.
In late spring of 1944 Paul, Elsa and the other members of their intelligence unit gather in a hotel in London having just returned from a mission to the United States. Paul tells his colleagues that he has got a good job waiting for him in America and a place to stay for Elsa and him. The next day they get ready to go back to the country when a V-2 bomb hits them direct just as their train starts pulling out and Paul, Elsa, Princess Xavier, Miles Bunting and Colonel Tylden die.
Paul believes to be the only survivor of the bomb attack although he is dead and after some time he imagines to live together with Elsa in an antiquated apartment by the East River in New York. He is convinced that he has dreamt up Elsa, who now is his wife, their children Pierre and Katerina and Princess Xavier. From a certain point on he is sure that those "imagined" people have become real due to his imagination. In fact neither of them is real. They have risen from the dead or as in the case of Pierre and Katerina they never really existed. Nevertheless they live among people who are real and alive. They are even considered to be real persons by everyone else. Though there seems to be something wrong with Elsa. Paul realises that she is casting a shadow in the wrong direction; her shadow falls in a different angle to evryone else's shadow no matter from where the light shines upon her. In addition to that Elsa needs to meet he analyst quite often as she is departing from reason from time to time.
She spends her day mainly by sitting by window and looking at the East River.
Approximately 30 years after their death Elsa tells Paul that she has recognised a salesman in a shoe store to be Helmut Kiel. Paul does not believe her as he is certainly put out that Kiel died in prison and knowing that his wife is mad. But after proving her statement and having seen the man himself he believes that this certain person is Helmut Kiel although he ought to look much older. Paul now feels in danger from Kiel because he thinks that Kiel has returned to haunt him in order to take revenge for his imprisonment. Kiel calls himself Mueller and when Elsa goes back to the shoe store to talk to him he denies to be Kiel and claims that he was not yet born in 1944. Paul tells his son Pierre about Kiel but Pierre does not show any interest whereas Katerina is curious about Kiel.
In the end Paul is sitting in a bar watching a group of people consisting of Elsa, Princess Xavier, Kiel and Miles Bunting. When another man heads towards the group he knows that it is Colonel Tylden, another person from the Compound. Then Paul gets up, grasps Elsa's arm and pulls her out of the bar heading towards a night-club. This is when Elsa tells Paul that he also died in the bomb attack in 1944. When they realise that the group are following them they continue their escape through several discos and clubs. In a hotel they happen to arrive at the golden wedding of two old friends and afterwards they visit Pierre and Katerina telling them that they (Pierre and Katerina) do not exist. Finally Paul goes to see his oldest friend once more and at the very end Paul and Elsa stand in front of their apartment block at the East River seeing that the old building is pulled down in order to be replaced by a modern one. Just at that moment Princess Xavier, Kiel, Miles Bunting and Colonel Tylden pass by in a car and take Paul and Elsa back with them so that they can have peace.
I had never read anything written by Muriel Spark, although I knew her by name, so I really didn't know what to expect. But this novella totally came as a surprise. It took me a while to realise that everything was not what it seemed and that there was more to it than remembering a love-story from long ago. I thought this was so intriguing that I couldn't put the book down and read it in one sitting.
I will definitely read more books by Spark, because I like stories with a little unexpected twist, and I am curious to see if her other books are like that also.
Go and take a look at the Muriel Spark Facebook Fan Page…

Call BEFORE Major Appliance Repair is Needed, Maintenance is Key
Let's face it folks, they just don't make products like they used to. From big ticket items like fridges and stoves down to every day necessities like phones (whether cell or home) and heck – even light bulbs! Companies are actually building their products to have a very distinct lifespan. That is to say a short one. It is something we here at Roger Dean Maintenance & Repair refer to as JOB SECURITY. They intend for their products to stop working after a specific period of time so the consumer keeps needing appliance repair through their company.
The claim for this, which is at least partly true, is that the technological advances are accelerating so rapidly that appliance technology of today will be dead technology in five to ten years. The other part of the truth is that parts are cheap and companies are greedy. I can honestly say this is almost true for every appliance in your home or place of business. I see it time and time again with all my clients, whether residential or commercial.
So what can you do when your appliances are actually intended to need repairing? Destined to fail? One answer is to maintain your appliance on a regular basis. If I am at your home or place of business for a major repair or problem I can always check on your other machines if you request it. You are paying for the first hour anyway so feel free to use it up. I also offer a preventative maintenance service for my commercial clients. My West Palm Beach and Boca Raton clients have benefited most from these Monthly PM's. After all, it makes sense to spend a set amount of reasonable money a month to maintain a machine rather than not maintain it and spend large unexpected amounts to fix it when something goes wrong. This is not to say I have x-ray vision and it will avoid all major repairs forever but my clients can tell you that their major emergency calls and costs decreased significantly once they entered into yearly PM contracts with me.
This is not a new concept. Companies know that many small parts tend to burn up faster than larger parts. While this may not affect the exterior of the appliance, a broken piece could mean the end of an appliance. Many major companies may even require you to keep up with regular, professional maintenance in order to benefit from product warranties. But many residential and commercial clients do not purchase the product warranties anyway due to high or even extravagant prices.
Most of the bigger appliances need to be serviced regularly. Why is that? Parts will degrade; gears will wear down and require reapplications of lubrication and the eventual replacement. Furthermore, instances may occur that require parts of your appliances to be repaired or replaced that are not covered under manufacturer's warranty, like dropping your appliance in a move or accidentally breaking a part. Many times, something as seemingly insignificant like a loose screw can cause irreparable damage to your appliance. For example, that loose screw can make contact with a microchip and cause little parts to start short circuiting and malfunction. If you are in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach or surrounding areas you should give me a call to ensure that no damage has been accrued and that any necessary repairs are made. It may seem like an unnecessary small cost now, but it is better than a large unexpected cost later.
Lastly, I also highly suggest reading over the product owner's manual and warranty information once you purchase or if you are thinking about purchasing a machine. Do your homework! The warranty can signal common problems with a particular appliance that you can then watch out for. Many times, the user's manual for appliances will list procedures for general upkeep and maintenance for your appliance yet will lack necessary information regarding getting your appliance serviced. Although many appliance product warranties will require you to get your appliance serviced by either their company or a company they contract with – particularly with higher end or luxury brands- there are a number of appliance service companies available in Palm Beach County that will perform the same service with the same efficiency but for a fraction of the price. For example: Roger Dean Maintenance & Repair.

My Take on the Shoe
I started using this shoe about 4 months into my training for the White Rock Marathon last year. Before I had been using the Nike LunarGlide, and what a difference it made! This shoe is SO much softer than the LunarGlide and in my opinion, feels much more secure on my feet. The secure feeling is given by the sturdy upper that surrounds the entire foot. The upper doesn't provide a lot of give, causing the sturdy feeling. Unlike other Nike shoes I have owned in the past, the LunarEclipse doesn't feel narrow in the forefoot. A great fit for almost any foot, the LunarEclipse can take a beating too. I put about 120 miles on this shoe in a month and it still felt like it was almost straight out of the box. If you are a marathoner, this shoe should definitely be in your closet.
A Little Personal
I have used this shoe on grass, dirt, road, uphill, downhill, long runs, and speed work. This versatile shoe is one of my favorites. As I said earlier, I started using this shoe for my marathon training, and after the first run (a 10 miler) I knew it was going to be my new long run shoe. So I started using it for long runs at first, but it was cold outside, so I started wearing it for other runs to keep my feet warm because of the beefy upper. After running with it for speed, easy runs, and long runs, I couldn't get enough of this shoe. When selling it to people, I always present it as a Frankenstein shoe that thinks for your foot. By that, I mean the dynamic cushioning will correct you the right amount with every footstrike. By Frankenstein shoe, I mean that the LunarEclipse seems to take one major piece of technology from all the other shoes in the Lunar series and apply it to itself. It takes the flywire from the LunarGlide (flywire is designed to tighten the upper around the arch of your foot when you tighten the laces), it has the lightweight durability of the LunarElite, and it even has it's own piece of technology in the heel counter (heel counters are the rigid piece of plastic in the heel to make a shoe more stable). Specifics I like in the LunarEclipse:
- Versatility, you can use this shoe for anything!
- You can create this shoe in whatever colors you want on Nike's website
- The high durability
- The secure feeling I get when I step into it
- The ability of the shoe to correct my gait no matter the slope of the road, be it either horizontal or vertica

Most carotenoids have anti-cancer properties, but the status of lycopene is unclear. Lycopene is a red pigmented carotenoid present in fruits and vegetables such as grapefruit, watermelon and tomatoes. Population studies have reported conflicting findings regarding lycopene and the risk of breast cancer. There is some evidence that lycopene might reduce breast cancer risk for women with high breast density, in particular. Like many other micronutrients, lycopene appears to be most effective when consumed in food along with other micronutrients. Lycopene supplements may not be safe for breast cancer patients and survivors, although the evidence is limited. Now a new study has reported the mechanism of action by which lycopene inhibits proliferation in hormone receptor positive (ER+/PR+) breast cancer cells.
Latest research explains how lycopene inhibits breast cancer proliferation
The study referenced at the beginning of this news article was designed to investigate the mechanism of action by which lycopene inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation. To conduct the study, the authors treated ER+/PR+ MCF-7 breast cancer cells and normal MCF-10 breast cells with various levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 μM) of lycopene for 72 hours. Levels of cell proliferation and changes in protein expression were then measured.
Lycopene was found to inhibit the growth of the breast cancer cells, but not the normal breast cells. Certain proteins in the breast cancer cells responded differently to lycopene compared to the normal cells. Lycopene was shown to modulate cell cycle proteins such as beta tubulin, CK8/18, and CK19, as well as heat shock proteins. The authors conclude that lycopene selectively influences cell cycle and heat shock proteins in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Please see our article on what ER+/PR+ breast cancer patients and survivors should eat for more information.

Organizations are quick to open shop and display their goods and services with the primary aim of making and maximizing profits. There's nothing wrong with that. Except that very few organizations factor in feedback from customers on how they are doing in terms of customers service delivery. Most websites neither have feedback buttons nor call back numbers for customers complaints for resolution.
It seems to me that the organizations do not want returned defective goods, complaints about poor/ bad services or to discuss compensation or refund to be paid to dissatisfied customers. Some have "no refund" policy tags bolding written over the counters. This means check the goods very well, because once you've bought it, even if it is defective, expired or you no longer need it, sorry, you are stuck with it.
Unknown to these organizations, the cutting edge of today's marketing and sales of goods and services is in excellent customer care delivery and the niche for business is feedback from customers and going that extra mile to ensure customers' satisfaction. This makes for customers' retention and a satisfied customer advertises your goods and services for free!. Its time to recognize the need for customers' feedback and early complaint resolution .

Once again rail customers have been left in limbo by the current bout of disruption.
May 23rd 2008
Rail passengers, particularly in Cork and Kerry have suffered from a patchy service at best since Christmas as a result of shortage of drivers. These numerous cancellations were often not communicated to the intending passenger. Now, action taken by Irish Rail management in Cork on Thursday morning has made an already bad situation worse. Rail Users Ireland questions this action as it led to the suspension of all services in the Cork area leaving many thousands stranded with absolutely no notice given and resulted in further disruption elsewhere today.
The issues at hand date back to the so called 'New Deal for Locomotive Drivers' agreed in 2000. Irish Rail management and unions, through the mediation of Phil Flynn, agreed to address a long list of issues. In the resultant letter signed by Phil Flynn on May 17th 2006, the various issues raised were given deadlines of between 2 and 5 weeks to complete. Those talks are still on going, nearly 2 years on. This is utterly unacceptable and typically the customers are the ones who suffer most because of these internal wrangles.
The drivers have offered to immediately return to work should their colleague at the centre of the current disruption be reinstated, Irish Rail don't seem in any hurry to accept this and restore the majority of services. Rail Users Ireland reminds Irish Rail Management that they are obliged to provide a public transport service in line with the service level agreements in place with the Department of Transport.
Once again the passenger suffers. Irish Rail is accountable to no one, the passenger has no interest as to the cause of the disruption. We pay our fare in good faith that the service as printed in the timetable will be offered. When the service isn't offered or is otherwise disrupted management are unanswerable and unaccountable to no one. There are no independently set and monitored standards unlike elsewhere in Europe, there is no incentive to improve nor any sanction if the service degrades yet further.
In light of Irish Rail's clear and continuing inability to provide the timetabled service since December 13th 2007, we call on the Minister for Transport to immediately introduce a system that awards improvements in standards and punishes failures to provide a service. It is clear that there is no incentive available to Irish Rail management to provide a proper service let alone one that encourages management to think twice when considering human resource managment.
The key should be "how will this affect passengers" not "how will this affect our policies"
We call upon both sides to put the passengers first and to such steps to do so which allows trains to run immediately.

Fancied a little change on the blog today so I thought a nice little list of my favourite bath time pamper products, and why I think they're so great would make for a nice read.
1. Herbal Essences Bee Strong Intensive Hair Mask (£2.50* for 200ml).
This hair mask hasn't long been on the shelves and it is already becoming one of favourite hair products. I naturally have quite curly hair than can get pretty frizzy and unmanageable at times, so I often like to use a nice hair mask on my hair to get rid of the frizziness. This is one of the nicest masks I've used partly down to just the smell alone. The packaging says it has essences of honey and apricot ( apricot stands out the most for me) but there's another smell in there that just makes me feel like I'm on holiday. What I also found with this hair mask is that, it doesn't give my hair a greasy feeling after frequent use, which is huge plus. There is definitely nothing worse than combined frizzy and greasy hair! Definitely a must have for a pamper night, slather on, leave for 30 minutes then rise out for gorgeous hair!
2. LUSH Comforter Bubble Bar. (£4.25* each)
I'm totally obsessed with Lush products and have been for many years now! Although in my current flat I don't have bath, only a shower, this was my favourite bath time bubble bar for years. First of all, the bar is massive so at £4.25 per bar, it's not too expensive because you can break chunks off and only use as much as you want in your bath (I'll admit, I use the whole thing in one go). It turns your bath into the most gorgeous pinky/purple colour and fills the room with a gorgeous berry/marshmallow smell. The best thing about this bar is the feeling it leaves on your skin after using it. You get left with silky smooth skin and smelling gorgeous, what more would you want for a pamper night?
3. Treacle Moon My Coconut Island (£3* for 500ml)
So, since I don't have a bath I need a product that's going to make feel just as pampered in the shower. This, is my favourite ever shower gel. First of all, I think the price is an absolute bargain because of the size of the bottle. Secondly, this is the best smelling shower gel I have ever used. It smells like caramel soaked coconut (without being sickly). It lathers up really nicely and leaves a lovely scent on feeling on your skin. I love using it during the inter too because even though it's a coconut scent, it's really warming and comforting! Exactly what you need to feel pampered!
4. Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel (£6* for 500ml)
Almost every person in my family has this shower gel. Soap and Glory products are just like heaven to me, they always smell great, look great, feel great and pretty reasonably priced. In all honesty I wouldn't spend £6 on shower gel I was going to use everyday, because I live on a pretty tight budget, but this is definitely worth having for special pampering times. Soap and Glory products have a really distinctive smell in my opinion. There's just something very luxurious about them with their classic smell and look. One of my favourite products (I have 3 bottles from Christmas still in my bathroom).
5. Palmer's Cocoa Butter (£4.99* for 400ml)
Best moisturiser ever. I have stretch marks, dry skin, lumps and bumps that all need to be moisturised. This stuff I believe is the best beauty product for skin available. It's no secret that it's used by pregnant women to help prevent stretch marks and I honestly believe it works. Not only does it smell amazing (it comes in an unscented version too, just in case you don't like the smell) but it's amazingly thick and non-greasy. It's really good for dry skin and can be used as an after-sun or to help prevent stretch marks. I've been told a few times that I have really soft skin and I'm telling you all now, it's the cocoa butter!
* All prices are the amounts I have most recently paid for these products.

Italy brings German, French heads to EU symbolic birthplace
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
VENTOTENE, Italy – The leaders of Italy, France and Germany are heading to one of the symbolic birthplaces of European unity to chart the path forward following Britain's decision to leave the EU.
Economic growth, improved security and new job options for European young people are among the topics expected to be discussed.
Italian Premier Matteo Renzi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Holland start their meeting by paying respects at the tomb of Altiero Spinelli, who in 1941 began co-writing the "Ventotene Manifesto." The document, which called for a federation of European states to counter the nationalism that had led Europe to war, inspired European federalism.
The three then head to another symbolic location for the summit: the Italian aircraft carrier Garibaldi, which is coordinating the EU's migrant rescue operation.

A mans home is his castle, is how the famous saying goes; but what does this actually mean? Well there are many different theories and ideas that are surrounding this but one of the best and widely used is in relation to pride. We are proud of our homes as they are ours and we have put a lot of time and effort into it. This means that we perceive our home to be our castle and we are willing to defend it as we have a massive sense of pride. This can also be said for the area surrounding our houses including our garden area. It is a place that we should be proud of and somewhere that we can enjoy relaxing in, or having a few barbeques in (rain permitting). This article is aimed at looking at how you can get the most out of your back garden. The article will then conclude by informing you on where you can find more information on Electric lawn mowers as well as petrol lawn mowers.
So you want to get the most out of your back garden but you don't know where you should start at?
