The Brookes of Colebrooke remain one of the oldest landed families in Ulster.
- Sir Victor Alexander Brooke, 3rd Baronet (1843-91)
- Sir Arthur Douglas Brooke, 4th Baronet (1865–1907)
- Sir Basil Stanlake Brooke, 5th Baronet (1888–1973); (created Viscount Brookeborough in 1952).
The Brookeborough Papers are deposited at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland.
Sir Arthur, Arthur, 4th Baronet, was Sheriff of County Fermanagh in 1896, a Deputy Lieutenant, and Justice of the Peace for the county.
His younger brother was Field Marshal the Viscount Alanbrooke.
The Rt Hon Sir Basil, 5th Baronet, KG CBE MC PC, third prime minister of Northern Ireland, was elevated to the peerage in 1952 as VISCOUNT BROOKEBOROUGH.
His second but eldest surviving son, John, 2nd Viscount, and 6th Baronet, was also a notable politician.
As of 2010, the titles are held by the latter's eldest son, Alan, 3rd and present Viscount and 7th Brooke Baronet, who succeeded in 1987.
Lord Brookeborough is a Lord in Waiting to HM The Queen and Lord-Lieutenant for County Fermanagh.
COLEBROOKE PARK, near Brookeborough, County Fermanagh, is a rather austere Classical mansion of 1825, by William Farrell under the auspices of Sir Henry Brooke, 1st Baronet (of the second creation).
Colebrooke has a two storey, nine bay front; with a pedimented portico of four giant Ionic columns; an irregular three storey side; and an eaved roof.
The house is constructed with cut-stone with a sprinkling of red sandstone ashlars which gives the elevation a particularly agreeable tinge.
There is a substantial entrance hall, with a double staircase to the rear.
The drawing-room has the original white and gold damask wallpaper; while the sitting-room boasts 19th century arabesques.
The dining-room is stately; described by the first prime minister of Northern Ireland, Sir James Craig, later 1st Viscount Craigavon, as "Golgotha" owing to the numerous deer skulls lining the walls.
Colebrooke stood empty for a period during the 1970s, following the death of Basil Stanlake Brooke, 5th Baronet and 1st Viscount Brookeborough (1888–1973).
The 2nd Viscount lived at the dower house, Ashbrooke.
The 3rd and present Viscount has transformed Colebrooke into a country estate fit for the 21st century.
The great house thrives once more, having been largely restored and re-furnished.
A fuller history of Colebrooke, as told by Lord Brookeborough, can be viewed here.
The history of the Brooke family is publicly available in the Brookeborough Papers.
Illustrious members of the Brooke family have included Field-Marshal the Viscount Alanbrooke and the 1st Viscount Brookeborough, second Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
In Colebrooke parish church hang the banners of the Orders of the Garter and the Bath: Lord Alanbrooke was appointed to both of these Orders; and the 1st Viscount Brookeborough to the Garter.
The present estate extends to about 1,100 acres.
Colebrooke Park is a fine demesne, the nucleus of which is the mansion which lies in a declivity in undulating ground.
It is approached via an oak avenue and surrounded by parkland, with mature trees.
There are blocks of mature woodland throughout the demesne.
The Colebrooke River meanders through the parkland, which adds to the pleasant landscape. One feature is a classical iron bridge.
The Park Bridge of about 1830 is functional and attractive.
A sunken garden on the west side of the house was added in the 1920s and the 'Cottage Garden', a woodland walk near the river and planted with shrubs has been developed since that time.
The walled garden of 1830 is not planted up but contains a very fine iron-framed glasshouse by Turner, built in 1834, with additions in 1835 and 1837.
There are many fine listed demesne buildings, including a triumphal arch and two gate lodges by Farrell.
The demesne includes Ashbrooke, the dower house, which has a surrounding maintained ornamental garden.

Film and Music
Following the success of live score events – such as the London Contemporary Orchestra performing Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood alongside the film – the British Council aims to support performers, composers and producers working in, or aspiring to work in, the artistic space where these two worlds converge. Our interest also extends to those creatives developing incredible music for computer games and other visual media.
In 2017, we announced the recipients of a Film, Archive and Music Fund – six projects showcasing collaborative work between the UK and counterparts overseas. The previous year, we invited 16 musicians, film makers and producers to key venues in London and Manchester to share best practice and learn from industry experts about their experiences working with music, archive material and film. We have also supported numerous film and music performances including The Seer at Supersonic Festival in the UK and a performance of Mica Levi's score for Under The Skin, Jonathan Glazer's sci-fi thriller starring Scarlett Johansson, in Kazakhstan. In 2017 and 2018, we've made it possible for the eminent British composer Michael Price – perhaps best known as the composer of the theme for the BBC's Sherlock series starring Benedict Cumberbatch – to travel to Vietnam and Ukraine to share his expertise with emerging composers. Going back to 2011, our support for SuperEverything*, a ground-breaking audio-visual project in Malaysia by The Light Surgeons, can be seen as a precursor to our current work in this area.

When my fiance woke me up at 4:30 this morning for my 5 am workout I was less than thrilled.
However, I knew I HAD to get in the gym and that I had Lauren going with me plus I was already awake, so I had no excuses.
Today we did the elliptical, and the first three minutes were brutal. We both were so tired and so unmotivated.
I thought to myself, "I'm here at 5 am on a Monday morning--I am making it worth it."
-Cranked up the resistance to 10 and picked up the pace.
-Then I decided to go backwards every other 1/4 mile, on a level 7.
-That turned into sprinting
-Which led to alternating forwards and backwards every 10th of a mile.
Before I knew it, 32 minutes and 3.05 miles had passed.
Yea it's blurry, I was trying to snap this picture while slowly moving on the elliptical... much harder than you may realize.
After my 5k I did weighted rows.
3 sets of 12 on 50lb and 2 sets of 12 on 30lb
When I walked out of the gym at 5:50am I felt amazing and accomplished!
PERFECT way to start the week :)
Today is day 5 of #marchabness so I will be doing another 120 sit ups. Last night I broke them down into sets of 25 and focused on lower abs and obliques.
I should do a video on these...hmmm

By NICK HEDRICK (Terre Haute)
BRAZIL, Ind. — The concept is similar to the Little Free Libraries, but instead of books, the wood and Plexiglas box outside Grace Chapel Ministries in Brazil provides non-perishable food and household necessities to those in need.
A day after the Blessing Box popped up along U.S. 40 on the west side of town, someone dropped off donations. Another family stopped by the next day with more. And two days after that, a person in need partook in the generosity of neighbors.
"We live in an area of low income, and there's always a need," said Leigh Pritchard, a Grace Chapel member who started the effort. "And I don't want people to think that no matter how small it is, it's not going to bless someone, because it can. It absolutely can."
Pritchard first saw the idea on Pinterest and her husband, Joe, set to work this summer building the first box. It's divided into three enclosed cubicles and topped off with a wooden cross.
Their pastor, Tim Russell, allowed them to place the box on the church's front lawn close to the highway. Pritchard started a Facebook page to spread the word.
Donations of non-perishable food, hy- giene products, clothes and toys are welcome. The items must be new and fit in the box. Pritchard asks people of faith to pray over the box when they leave a donation.
As about a dozen church members gathered Wednesday for a small dedication, the provisions were neatly tucked behind the Plexiglas door. There were canned and boxed foods, laundry detergent, dish soap and shaving cream.
Chris Singer brought canned goods, cookies and chips. "I think it's great to be able to help," she said.
Kenzie Stearley contributed the deter- gent and dish soap and a set of screwdrivers. The Northview High School senior said she notices the community's basic needs among her fellow students. The project helps the church be the "hands and feet of Jesus."
Pritchard has watched her Facebook inbox quickly fill with messages of support from everywhere. A Rosedale man asked if he could start his own Blessing Boxes there. Pritchard received a message from a Terre Haute woman who is recruiting more businesses. There are 14 more boxes in the works. The next one will be placed at Aerial Arts Fireworks in Brazil. The Pritchards are waiting for clearance from three other locations in Brazil, Clay City and Terre Haute.
"I thought this would be one and done, and I think my husband did, too," Pritchard said with a laugh.
Joe Pritchard said he knows the boxes will do great things for his community and beyond. "For me, it's just a blessing to be able to use my hands for God," he said. His wife wants to see the project continue to grow and more people to be inspired and take the initiative.
"I've been looking for something to do for a long time to show God's love, but I want people to know that no matter how small it is, just take that leap of faith and do it," Leigh Pritchard said.

In the last week I actually decided to do it twice. Once was photography related, the other wasn't.
Let's start with the non-photography related. Last weekend, Anka and I took some time off in Megève. It was great, the weather was beautiful and the fresh air soothing. We decided to hit the slopes and I, after 18+ years of snowboarding, decided to try skiing again. The technology has changed so much and many friends have made the switch from snowboarding to skiing in the last few years that I wanted to see for myself what all the hype is about. On the lift, on the way up, I was very nervous. Even more so when I started down my first slope. It wasn't easy and felt quite uncomfortable at first but I loved it! Not only did I love doing something new (well, something I hadn't done in nearly two decades which made it feel like new) the actual fact of skiing was great! I'm actually thinking of making the switch.
Regarding the photography related "risk" I took, that happened yesterday. Someone I know called me up a week or so ago asking me to shoot some fashion photos for his brand of clothing. I'm not much of a fashionista, that's why I don't normally shoot that type of photography. But this had an interesting twist: the company just bought some basic lighting gear and wanted to learn how to shoot with lights (Elinchrom BXRi 250/250). I therefore had to shoot with their gear which consisted of two flash heads in two 66cm square softboxes. Suffice to say it wasn't easy but the results — which I can't show — turned out really nice in regards to the limited gear we had.
I think I'm going to challenge myself more in the future and try to step out of my comfort zone every so often.
How about you?
Have you done anything for the first time recently?
Cheers, josh

the shoe game
At our reception we played a little something called the shoe game. I thought it seemed really fun when I saw it on Pinterest but every time I explained it to people they didn't exactly share the same excitement. In fact, they told me it sounded weird and/or lame... But I didn't care! I was going to have it my way or I was going to go Bride-zilla all over the place.
It. Was. So. Fun. Ask anyone! They will tell you that it wasn't lame at all. It was a good way to break the ice before the dancing and get everyone in a more playful mood. It was also a good way for my friends and family to get to know David better since many people hadn't met him before that day. I loved the shoe game.
David's little brother Andy read these questions out loud and then we were to hold up the shoe of the person we thought best answered the question.
Who is more likely to get lost?
Who is the better driver?
Who has had more tickets?
Who is the better dresser?
Who is the better kisser?
When you first met, who made the first move?
Who gets the best grades in school?
Who is smarter?
Who is more creative?
Who is better at keeping surprises?
Who will be doing the cooking?
Who is more adventurous?
Who is more likely to break a bone doing something adventurous?
Who is better looking?
Who said I love you first?
Who starts the argument?
Who is the first to say I'm sorry?
Who wears the pants?
Who spends more money?
Who makes more money?
Who will be in control of the remote?
Who will be more likely to wake up grumpy?
Who will be more likely to hog to covers?
Who will kill the spiders?
Who is messier?
Right now, who do you love more than anyone in the world?

Hi there. I found your blog through Pinterest and just love what you did to the cultural hall for your wedding reception! I am planning a wedding right now and I don't think it will work for us to rent a venue...but the cultural hall is a challenge. If you don't mind, I'd love to learn how you did the ceiling at your reception. Did you do it yourself? What materials did you use? How much time did it take? If you don't mind helping me out please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I second those thoughts...email@example.com pretty please???ReplyDelete
Hi!! Can I please know about the ceiling too? Your wedding looks absolutely beautiful!!! firstname.lastname@example.com ... Another question, where was this at? Minnesota or Rex? :) (I happen to be part of those two places too! ) :)ReplyDelete
Hi would love love more info about the ceiling!ReplyDelete

Solid surface countertops are made from natural mineral fiber, binding resins, and pigments. This type of material is preferred to laminate due to its superior quality, high durability and customization options. If you want to create the look of solid stone without paying the price for installation and maintenance, then Arrow Kitchens & Bath in Webster, NY, recommends choosing solid surfacing for your bathroom or kitchen remodeling project.
Before starting on your home remodeling job, check out everything you need to know about solid surface countertops:
- Hard, Durable Plastic: While laminate countertops are made up of layers of plastic, solid surfacing consists of a single layer of high-quality plastic. This makes it more durable and resilient, and capable of lasting longer and looking better.
- Invisible Seams Without Gaps & Grout: Many other types of countertops have gaps and grout between sections, but solid surface countertops are completely seamless, so grime buildup will not be an issue.
- Customization Options: When you install solid surface countertops, you'll choose whatever texture or color you desire. You can also create an integrated sink or a backsplash, thus protecting more surfaces than just your counters and cabinets.
- Affordability: Solid surfacing is more expensive than laminate, but it's still cheaper than granite, making it the best option for homeowners who want to make a long-term investment in their property without fronting too much money.
Whether you're preparing for a home remodeling project or you're building your home from the ground up, Arrow Kitchens & Bath encourages you to research your building materials to ensure that you're getting what you pay for. To find out more about solid surface countertops, call (585) 670-9910 or visit them online for a complete list of services, ranging from cabinet installation to bathroom remodeling.

The evolution of aircraft engines and the next generation of matching algorithms for the Online Dating Industry.
Aircraft propulsion
- Shaft engines (to drive propellers, rotors, ducted fans, or propfans)
A) Internal combustion engines:
A.1) Piston engine
A.2) Wankel engine
A.3) Turbines: Turboprop / Turboshaft
B) External combustion engines: Steam-powered
C) Electric
- Reaction engines
D) Turbines:
D.1) Turbojet
D.2) Turbofan
E) Rocket-powered
F) Motorjet
G) Pulsejet
H) Ramjet
H.1) Scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet)
Unlike a typical jet engine, such as a turbojet or turbofan engine, a scramjet does not use rotating, fan-like components to compress the air. No moving parts are needed in a scramjet, which greatly simplifies both the design and operation of the engine. In comparison, typical turbojet engines require inlet fans, multiple stages of rotating compressor fans, and multiple rotating turbine stages, all of which add weight, complexity, and a greater number of failure points to the engine. It is this simplicity that allows scramjets to operate at such high velocities, as the conditions encountered in hypersonic flight severely hamper the operation of conventional turbomachinery.
The scramjet can efficiently operate at extremely high speeds: theoretical projections place the top speed of a scramjet between Mach 12 and Mach 24, which is near orbital velocity.
The fastest air-breathing plane is a Scramjet design, the NASA X-43a which reached Mach 9.8.
Sometimes I read posts about a "fairly complex matching algorithm" for online dating
receive emails promoting "a sophisticated algorithm" and then I laugh!!!
Matching algorithms do not need to be complex or sophisticated, they need to be effective.
Those complex or sophisticated matching algorithms (used by eHarmony, Chemistry and others) are like the Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone used in the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, useless at all to ....... break sound barrier!!!
Actual matching algorithms used by eHarmony, Chemistry and others, even behavioural recommender systems, can not be improved, they need to be discarded NOW. Because they are in the range of 3 to 4 prospective mates as selected / recommended / compatible for dating purposes per 1,000 members screened in the database. They all 3 are performing the same for serious daters, with a high percentage of false positives, like gun machines firing flowers.
They can not break the online dating sound barrier!
You do not need to improve a piston engine when you need a jet engine to break sound barrier.
That range convergence phenomenon is what I had called "the online dating sound barrier", in 2003, when I had discovered than problem, 8 long years ago.
LIFEPROJECT METHOD is so simple!
It is only strict personality similarity. A Scramjet engine.
The Online Dating Industry for serious daters needs a revolution, but without offering the 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
The 16PF5 normative personality test codifies personality with 16 variables taking integer values from 1 to 10 in stens (standardized tens).
The ensemble (whole set of different valid possibilities) of the 16PF5 is: 10E16, big number as All World Population is nearly 6.7 * 10E9
A high precision quantitative method to compare similarity between those quantized patterns is required to successfully break the online dating sound barrier.

The fit hits the shan and all his birds - Sulphor-crested Cockatoos - escape and start making there way back to Australia.
He follows them home heading for massive misadventure in the Outback.
The titles role as we follow a Cockatoo swooping over Manhattan Island, passing the symbolically super charged WTC...
The Twin Towers, a giant doorway or pillared portal holding up the veil of the holy of holies, the sacred nothing in-between the I-I.. the StarGate of Cosmic Consciousness which opened via the 911 Mega Ritual.
The events of 911 reflected in 2001: A Space Odyssey marked our rapid accent into a new dimension of awareness. The story continues this year as 2010: The Year We Make Contact reflects the sync tidal wave following the unveiling of the 42/Jupiter (see Jim Sanders The Tinman's Rainbow Lodge & the Gnosis of 42) strange attractors explored the last year or so..
Maybe also try Scarlet Dragon 3 for more thoughts on 2010 as the Year of Contact.
The next time I see a Cockatoo, highlighted for attention via the birds association to the StarGate in Woop Woop, is on a plane back to Canada.
Aaron Eckhart is stealing his father in laws Cockatoo in Love Happens, they call it a Parrot but this is clearly not the case..
Love interest Jennifer Aniston as Eloise has motivated him to deal with the trauma of his wife's death.
This involving following through with her wish that the Cockatoo Rocky should be set free one day.
To do this he has to steal the bird from Martin Sheen. Mr Sheen appeared on my 'sync'dar when I randomly caught Wall Street on TV.
He is Charlie Sheen's father in the film (and real life) and works for Bluestar airlines.
A little later I had a dream where Ayahuasquero Juan Flores told me to watch Badlands, which I only knew as "that Terrence Malick flick I have never seen".
I have yet another dream shortly after that with a Blue God the morning before I watch Avatar.
Right after the dream and while still lying in bed I make the connection between Blue Movie Stars like Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, the two main characters seen together on posters for Avatar, and the Bluestar theme in general.
I connect this with the Twin Sun aka Second Sun theme much discussed in Scarlet Dragon 3 and epitomized by 2010: The Year We Make Contact.
The Two Suns are the primary play of duality that allows for the drama of Life. When we start to notice our twin or reflection aka the Second Sun it means we are becoming hip to the game as we play. This is great as we can play without being attached to the drama. Conscious co-creators of the Great Game.
The Two Suns have also been connected to the GG theme, that is 7 being G thus 77/OZ/Pan and GG. We have a G-Type Star thus GG is two Stars/Suns.
Google, the most used website on the planet, entrains perfectly with the GG going so far as making them Blue. The Twin Blue G Stars we see everyday when browsing the ever more interconnected manifesting collective mind of WE/ME.
We see Lady GaGa with powerful Jovian signals. She points up with her Jupiter index finger while "Phoning home" on her Blue crowning Telephone.
GaGa frequently has a Blue Thunderbolt emitting from her one eye. Bolts are Zeus or Jupiter, the single eye entraining with Jupiter's Storm resonating the Bolt. Giant all seeing Storm (location of Lightning Bolts) on Jupiter, Giant Star with All Seeing Eye on Earth.
We then have the Twin Blue GG present in the most watched Movie (Avatar) the most used Website (GooGle) and the most popular Musician (GaGa) of planet Earth/Heart.
Heaven and Earth/Heart are merging so we see the Heavenly Father's symbols all around us.
The Twin Blue GG in GaGa's video Paparazzi, also a movie StarRing Robin Tunney but let's desperately try and keep on track here..
I only learned days before viewing Love Happens that Martin Sheen is the Star of Badlands making the Cockatoo sync stick.
I watched Badlands a month or such ago and am yet to see the real kicker behind why Juan would tell me to watch that specifically.. I know something way silly will arise but as yet its a bit of a mystery.., just serving as a weird attention highlighting factor for anything Martin Sheen.
Recently I watched The Good Girl as John C. Reilly research (me and Jim are making a video about him..) where we see the the GG in the title.
How cool to see the Cockatoo return again, for the first time since Love Actually, not just anywhere but smack in shot with Jennifer Aniston herself!
Jenbow, just like the Cockatoo, strange attracts the Twin's (even kinda Blue looking) in there WTC disguise on The Object of My Affection.
Cockatoo can be broken up as Cock-a-Two or A Twin Cock. Mercury has the winged sandals and one of his totem animals is the Cock. Cockatoo is also then A Double Winged God resonator. Gods resonate Stars as we identify constellations with Gods and deify our own Sun/Star. Taking all that into account we see Cockatoo is also the Twin Sun/Star.
Star Robert Downey Jr. standing inside of a 2 and Star Sarah Jessica Parker doing pretty much exactly the same.
Twin/2 and Star, resonating the overt GG theme of the times we are in.
I feel we are right at the top of the MounTIN these days.
WE/ME just need to get ourselves to realize this, stop climbing and sit down to take in the view, its gorgeous.
More sleepy shenanigans... Seems like the space between coming back from Being Void and moving into form is loaded with goodies.
I woke up on Tuesday (6 April) bothered by the name of Jennifer Aniston "Eloise" in Love Happens. I was working on this post the previous evening and had even put Eloise into the Internet Movie Data Base's search engine to try and figure out why Eloise sounded so syncnificant... I didn't see anything that jumped out.
I turn on Lost S6 E11 Happily Ever After, happily greeted by Time Travel. Desmond stands between two magnetic Torus thingys and opens the StarG8. Time Travel, like all StarG8 (warp/light speed, teleportation etc. anything distorting time/space aka mind) are symbolic of the non-local meta-mind of WE/ME and its awaking to its Self.
Becoming non-local is realizing you are in every NOW and where. This is how sync works, all time/space locations are ONE. When we have lots of attention or presence in the NOW we notice things with the meta-mind beyond the limitations of time/space and they manifest as syncs. Synchromysticism is all about Time Travel aka becoming non-local.
Synchronicity is a new and rapidly evolving facet or ability of the human consciousness and part of the Greater Global awakening.
It's wild but no more weird then developing smell or sight etc.
Returning to Lost, time traveling Desmond sees Charlie has Penny written on his palm.
Highlighted palms are associated to awakening as Jesus was nailed through his and Buddhas often also have strange markings on their palms.
Having the Penny on his palm here associated to Time Travel caught my attention as I had written about a Time Traveling Penny not that long ago.
It's further amazing as Abraham Lincoln, the prez on the ONE Penny, has become a sync strange attractor of awesome power in his own right. As the Lincoln Memorial is a replica of Zeus' temple he resonates Jupiter. Jupiter/Zeus (the Roman and Greek names for the same thing) is the most powerful sync strange attractor I have ever experienced. That Abe/Zeus/Jupiter resides on the ONE or Penny further brings our awareness into the NOW.
NOW=ONE as WE3M is the same trident type glyph just rotated.
What totally made me giddy was the return, for the first time in this season, of "Eloise". Aha! That's what was gnawing at me that very morning.
Eloise, the same name of Cocka2 attracting Jennifer Aniston, wearing Two Star broaches.
Just a few more related Bird issues and I'll let you go on your merry way.
I wrote a post where I noted a crow building a nest behind Neptune's Trident in the Pediment of the Winnipeg Legislature, a Masonic Building inspired by Solomon's Temple.
From that post:
Standing at the West side of the Building with my friend a huge crow is making a godawful noise. I joke it sounds like a toucan (how would I know what a toucan sounds like?), looking up to see the crow braking off a branch while perched above us in a tree.
I wrote that thinking the anecdotal toucan reference out of place until I saw these wacky BrenDAN (dan/dna/pan) Fraser posters. I was posting them at twitter (with the Blue Bird as logo) to show Jim Sanders a Necktie sync. Above the Crow pulls on BrenDAN's tie which is a syhchromystic Noose, Dead Man's Rope or Ayahuasca vine.
Next I put up George of the Jungle to show that via Fraser we can connect the Tie and the Vine. My mind went POP when noticing the Toucan sitting on a G. The Crow and the 2Can together again in short order via sync.
I feel the spirit of birds whether real or just images on posters, are guides, helping to plot a path through the infinite mystery of I Am. Sync has thought us that all objects have spirit and can teach and guide through listening to them and syncing with them. Animals like Birds are particularly powerful. We have different guides for different times and temperaments.
2010: A Good Year.
A rooster crows, making them resonators of the black bird crow and Star Russell Crowe.
The Rooster/Cock is the animal of Mercury who's sandal is found on the Good Year logo.
All resonates soundly as Russel Crowe (resonator of the Rooster/Cock) Stars in A Good Year (resonator of Mercury).
The Crow/Cock as Robin (it gets a bit silly, doesn't it?) the Bandit or Badtin will soon Woo Maid Marain as Cate Blanchett.
Welcome to Woop Woop, Neverland "second star to the right, and straight on till morning".
Peace within is peace without.

The week that saw the 10th anniversary of the European Research Council, began with the renewed demand by the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, that Scotland have a chance to vote on whether it leaves the UK before the UK leaves the EU. This would be at some point between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019. Her demand was immediately rebuffed by Teresa May, who condemned the move as the wrong policy at the wrong time, and committed herself to holding together this 'precious, precious Union.'
As Stormont rose, the Lords retreated – having seen their two amendments on EU workers and a meaningful vote rejected by an increased majority, they allowed the 2 paragraph Brexit Bill to pass into law un-amended. Teresa May now has the power to begin Brexit talks and many expected Article 50 to be triggered by Tuesday but this did not happen, perhaps due to the storm brewing in Stormont, or the worry caused by Wilders in the Netherlands. The latter was resolved when Dutch voters rejected his racist and xenophobic vision for their country; it remains to be seen if and how Scottish voters will respond to the SNP.
The week also brought a visual manifestation of the chilly relations between the EU and the USA. Due to bad weather on Tuesday, the meeting between Merkel and Trump was postponed to Friday. Merkel may have been present as the German Chancellor but is widely seen as the leader of the free world and the voice of the EU. The body language at their press conference said it all, but in case of any doubt, there was then the so-called 'Merkel Moment'.
John Major re-launched his condemnation of Leave campaigners saying "It was dishonest and wrong to promise the British people an easy, favourable deal with the EU, wrong to promise swift new trade deals, and wrong to state that the Irish peace process would not be unsettled by Brexit." He dismissed claims that Britain could thrive under WTO rules, warning that 90% of UK exports to the EU would become more expensive, with tariffs that would add about £6bn to their costs.
Officials from the Department for International Trade may agree with him, which is why a Brexit Plan B is being discretely drawn up. They are investigating whether the UK can invoke the rarely–used Article 24 of the WTO Treaty. This would allow the U.K. and Brussels a "reasonable length of time" after Brexit to agree a transitional free-trade deal before WTO law forces both sides to impose the same tariffs on each other as they do on everybody else. Such an interim deal would avoid a 'hard Brexit' in March 2019 by keeping tariffs at zero when the UK leaves the Single Market.
Major also condemned the 'fake facts and bogus promises' spread by the Brexiters. Indeed far from the promised infusion of an extra 350 million per week, the NHS is becoming de-staffed and de-skilled: nurses are leaving and not being replaced. Many of the 55,000 doctors and nurses in the NHS from the EU have felt unwelcome after the EU referendum and are now leaving. Simultaneously, new registrations of EU nationals as nurses in England have dropped by 92% since June 2016.
Given the departure of health-care experts, it is some comfort that the EU's Rapid Alert System for dangerous products seems to be functioning well. According to the report for 2016, national authorities removed more dangerous products from stores and in response to increased e-commerce, the Commission has increased cooperation with Amazon, Ebay and Alibaba to tackle potentially dangerous products, such as toys, sold online. The Commission also continues to plan for the 60th celebrations of the EU on March 25th where the White Paper, presented by the European Commission setting out the vision of the 27 for the future of Europe after Brexit, will be debated.
From the CJEU:
Case C‑157/15 Samira Achbita and Centrum voor gelijkheid van kansen en voor racismebestrijding v G4S Secure Solutions NV and C-188/15 Asma Bougnaoui Association de défense des droits de l'homme (ADDH) v Micropole SA
While national law at present allows employers to demand that women wear high heels, EU law has now stated that employers can forbid Muslim women from wearing headscarves. Achbita, as explained by Monique Steijns, raises more questions than answers.
The cases – the first from the CJEU on religious discrimination – concerned Belgian and French women employees who were fired for wearing an Islamic headscarf. In the case of Achbita a preliminary question asked how Article 2(2)(a) 1 and 2 of Employment Framework Directive 2000/78 on equal treatment in employment and occupation must be interpreted. The core question was whether the prohibition on wearing an Islamic headscarf, set out in the general internal rules of a private company, is direct discrimination.
In its assessment, the CJEU found that the internal rules at issue banned all visible religious, political or philosophical symbols and that they applied in the same way to all employers so as to secure a neutral company image. The internal rules were applied without distinction, explicitly prohibiting the wearing of any visible sign of political or philosophical not just religious beliefs. Therefore, the court concluded that the ban at issue could not be regarded as direct discrimination in the sense of Directive 2000/78.
As said by Steijns, '..the considerable weight given to a company's desire to promote a neutral appearance seems somewhat curious…It could be argued that in contrast to Eweida, the ruling of the CJEU provides more space for employers to ban the wearing of religious symbols in the workspace without violating the fundamental right to freedom of religion or belief. The ruling could be understood as confirming that the mere wish of a company to present itself in a neutral way is an objective justification for a different treatment of employees.'

birthday | 27 dec '03
Hola, I'm Estefani. I am the quieter one of my sisters, Flor and Nahomy. Well, that is until I trust and know you. Then I can scream and play as loudly as any of my cousins at EFP, and I know nothing better than to dance with them and play ball with them. There is always a party going on, and I love joining it. They also have the moviePrincess Charm School. That is my favorite movie. My teacher says, that I am really good at math and art. I like both, but most of all, I would like to be a ballet teacher. I really like helping my cousins getting their ballet routines right. Would be great to do that as a full time job. I have spent a little time at an orphanage until Allison came and took my sisters and me to her own house. After that we spent a little time with another family from the states before being placed back with our mother. We now live right down the street from Aunt Allison, where my mom works during the day and my sisters and I play with our cousins there.

In this week's health care innovation roundup, read about Google's possible forays into health care, new strategies to fight old diseases and two people who credit the Apple Watch with saving their life.
Google and its parent company, Alphabet, are poised to move further into the health care industry on multiple fronts. According to a breakdown by business research firm CB Insights, ideas Alphabet is pursuing include using artificial intelligence to support clinicians and rolling out population health interventions. Its Cityblock spinoff, for example, intends to establish neighborhood health hubs in underserved urban communities. Check out a breakdown by Becker's Hospital Review, or read the full report.
River blindness, which is caused by a parasitic worm, has wreaked havoc in parts of Africa for many years. While there is an effective treatment, that treatment can cause coma or death in people who have a different parasite, the Loa Ioa worm. Researchers discovered "they could quickly determine who has the Loa Ioa worm using a smartphone, customized to work like a microscope," and thus avoid treating those people for river blindness, according to Kaiser Health News.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is offering a $12 million challenge to develop a flu vaccine that would be effective for all strains of the flu virus. The challenge is "an important and necessary step intended to spark innovative ideas toward finding a game-changing solution to end the threat of flu," Dr. Bruce Gellin, president of global immunization at the Sabin Vaccine Institute, wrote in Fortune. Find more information on the challenge here.
There's a lot of hype around how to implement blockchain technology in the health care industry. Earlier this month, MATTER, a health care startup incubator, hosted a blockchain in healthcare summit that convened experts from across health care to discuss how to leverage the technology. Read quick takes from four of them — including Steve Betts, chief information officer for Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
U.S. News & World Report shares the story of two people say their Apple Watch played a role in saving their lives. In one instance, the smartwatch notified an 18-year-old woman to seek medical attention after her heart rate increased to 190 beats per minute. She was diagnosed with kidney failure. In another instance, a man was diagnosed with a ruptured ulcer after his Apple Watch alerted him to seek care.

This mouse likes to get in secret blogging time when the cat is away too! But I've never had a fishfinger sandwich. Sounds yummy.ReplyDelete
I know. I'm sorry. I hate these word recognition, are you a robot, guff things too, but having just got rid of a large number of ungrammatical and poorly spelt adverts for all sorts of things I don't want, and especially don't want on my blog, I'm hoping that this will mean that only lovely people, of the actually a person variety, will comment.
So please do. Comments are great...

An Ode to Analogue
'A Million Times' is an installation of 288 analogue clocks which have been rigged to rotate in stunning synchronicity to celebrate the beauty of old fashioned time keeping and create some very appealing patterns in the process. Click on the picture above to watch the short, but rather hypnotic (with the addition of a soaring soundtrack) video.
The clocks are all connected and controlled via an iPad, but rotate independently and at the end of the sequence display the current time. The bold monochrome patterns remind me a bit of British op-artist Bridget Riley whose work looked like it was moving, even though it wasn't. Created by two Stockholm-based creative types who go by the name of Humans Since 1982 it will be on show at Design Days Dubai later this month.
With thanks to Protein where I first saw this vid.

Dave and I have been keeping a little secret for the past two-and-a-half months, but last night we decided it was time to spill the beans to the world. Well, the Facebook world at least. There are some big changes coming to the Mathew household…in the form of a tiny human. That's right, there's a baby on the way! It goes without saying that I'm thrilled and excited for this next chapter in our lives.
Since we started spreading the news among the family, we've been getting a lot of the same questions. So today, I'm going to try and answer most of the things everyone wants to know after hearing the big news!
When are you due? February 18th, 2017. Side note: the "original" due date was February 9th, 2017 but it got pushed back NINE DAYS (eek!) after the first ultrasound.
So how many weeks / months along are you? At the time of this post, I am 13 weeks + 4 days. My weeks switch on Saturdays, if that helps anyone count. That also means I'm just past month #3, but please stop asking me in months because as any woman who has been pregnant will tell you….these things are never measured in months, always weeks!
When did you find out? / How long have you known? We found out in the first week of June. At the time, we thought I was 5 weeks along….but it turns out I was only between 3 and 4 weeks along.
Ok, I'm going to stop and explain the "dating issue" that will keep coming up throughout this discussion. For anyone who isn't familiar with how pregnancies are dated….they start from the first day of the last menstrual period. That means that the first two weeks are kind of "freebies" because you haven't even ovulated or conceived yet. The medical world likes to use 28 days, or 4 weeks, as the perfect example of a menstrual cycle, with ovulation occurring smack dab in the middle at day 14 (two weeks). Look at any textbook, and that's how a menstrual cycle is described. Talk to real women, and the vast majority will tell you that they do not have perfectly consistent 28 day cycles. Some might be longer, some might be shorter, it might vary in length for some women….it's all different. So when pregnancies are originally dated (like, when you call your doctor's office after figuring out you're pregnant), they assume you have a perfect 28 day cycle to calculate how far along you are in the pregnancy. There are several problems with this, the main one being that many women (apparently myself included) don't ovulate on day 14. For example, someone with a 30 day cycle should ovulate somewhere around day 16 rather than day 14. For this exact reason my OBGYN's office schedules everyone for a dating ultrasound at the 8 week mark to check and make sure the dates are all correct. We went in for my ultrasound on what should have been exactly my 8 week mark and found out the pregnancy was dating at…..6 weeks + 5 days. Honestly, it was kind of a blow. Given the length of my cycles I was expecting to be maybe 2 days behind, which wouldn't have been a big deal, but NINE days was huge, especially at that stage in the pregnancy. That's nine extra days of waiting to get out of the period where your miscarriage risk is high. It meant that the embryo was actually closer in size to a sweet pea than a raspberry. It meant we had to "re-live" the end of week 6 and all of week 7, because we thought we had already passed those milestones. We were told that I probably just ovulated late, but it still made us worry because being 9 days behind was some seriously late ovulation. Additionally, when I got pregnant I was still on medication for my sleep disorder. It's a medication that hasn't been studied much in pregnancy so there isn't a lot of data, but there have been two case reports of women who had taken the medication during their pregnancy and experienced intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). There's no way to tell if the medication caused the IUGR, but it's a possibility and of course we worried that was the issue. Because of that early exposure to the medication, my OBGYN set me up for a more detailed 20 week anatomy scan with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, and when their office contacted me to set up the appointment they also offered me a first trimester screening which would also include an ultrasound. I wasn't super concerned about everything they test for in that screening, but I jumped on the opportunity to get another ultrasound to make sure everything was growing okay. We just had that appointment last week, at 12 weeks + 5 days (based on the dating from the first ultrasound), and the tech measured it around 13 weeks….which was perfectly on track with that first ultrasound measurement. So it looks like I just have a tendency to ovulate quite a bit later in my cycle than the average woman, and we're not nearly as concerned about IUGR anymore! Phew!
Ok, back to the Q + A:
How have you been feeling? Honestly…..not fantastic. Morning sickness hit me around week 7, in the form of unrelenting all-day nausea. I guess you could say I've been lucky not to vomit, but there have been some very close calls. I've told myself over and over that pregnancy is a blessing, that the reward at the end of this is worth this period of feeling horrible, and often that makes me feel better, but there were a few moments when I flat-out HATED being pregnant. Other than morning sickness, I've also been hit with some overwhelming fatigue. It's normal to be tired in the first trimester, but I'm getting the double-whammy of having to go off my medication for my sleep disorder, which means I've returned to zombie-like state. My new neurologist prescribed me….sleep. I was considering going back to work shortly before I got pregnant, but that's off the table now that I need a nap almost every day, at least 10 (preferably 12) hours of sleep each night, and generally feel like my head is full of fuzz.
Are you going to find out the gender? Ugh. I wish I had an answer to this question. Originally I had no desire to find out the gender in advance and I wanted the surprise at the time of delivery. Dave hadn't even considered not finding out, and his preference is to find out in advance. I will admit that it is becoming more and more tempting to find out because gender neutral stuff can be tough to find and isn't even carried by some stores…and the gender neutral nursery stuff is so GRAY. Blech. I was expecting to be able to find a bunch of green stuff, but apparently green is so last year (at least according to the retailers). I've been trying to get Dave to make a good argument for why we should find out the gender in advance, but so far all he's come up with is "I don't want to be disappointed in the delivery room if it's a girl." If you think that's the worst logic ever, I agree with you. Obviously Dave is team blue. I can't decide what I want, so I'm going to be happy either way, but right now I'm feeling like it's a girl. But hey, who knows, right? But back to the question at hand….we're still up in the air if we'll find out or not. I had a blood test last week that will be checking the fetal DNA for genetic disorders and will also be able to tell us the gender, and we should get the results later this week or sometime next week. We'll have to make a decision if we want to know the gender results at that point in time, but even if we opt to not find out then change our mind later, the results will still be in the doctor's computer system.
I wrote a few "bump date" posts for the past few weeks, so I'm planning on posting those "en masse" in the next day or two. After that I'll do my best to post weekly pregnancy updates on Saturdays, but I'm not promising that they'll get posed on time each week because we'll be on the road several times before we even hit the 20 week mark. In fact, I can almost guarantee that the upcoming 14-week post will not be going up late!
Until later,

Bayer has agreed to a settlement in 70 Yaz lawsuits. Lawyers expect that possibly thousands of Yaz cases will be resolved early this year. All of these settlements are for women who took Yaz/Yasmin and suffered deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) or a pulmonary embolism. More Yaz settlement details will be reported here as they become available, including the question on everyone's mind: What were the Yaz settlement amounts?
While not unexpected, this is a big day for women who have been waiting for justice in these lawsuits.
If you are a woman who suffered a blood clot or a pulmonary embolism, and have been waiting to see how these settlements play out, you really should move quickly. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to get in on the class settlement (sort of) and you have to be concerned as to whether your case will be barred by the statute of limitations.

Oct 6, 2015 – Picture: Kogi State King Oba Adebisi Obademi Released By Kidnappers After Paying N300K Ransom
The Traditional Ruler of Apaa-Bunu in Kabba-Bunu local government area of Kogi State, Oba Adebisi Obademi, who was abducted by gunmen last week has been released .
According to a source close to the family of the monarch, Oba Obademi was released over the weekend after paying a ransom of N300, 000.
The Monarch was abducted at about 7.30 am on Wednesday, September 30, while on his way to Odo-Ape, a suburb community close to his domain.
Reports have it that the gunmen numbering about five and suspected to be Fulani herdsmen may have whisked the traditional ruler away on a motorbike to an unknown destination where he is said to have spent four days before he was released.
The family source – who said the family members of the Monarch faced "serious trauma" during the course of his incarceration – said the kidnappers initially demanded two Million Naira before he could be released.
He said the family had to plead with the abductors who later agreed to a ransom of N300, 000 before the monarch was eventually released at 7.00 pm Saturday night at the exact spot from where he was abducted.
According to our source, the whole community had to make donations to the family to effect the monarch's release "because we are poor rural folk who have been forgotten by government."
Meanwhile, it was learnt that the sleepy community erupted into celebration on sighting the monarch who was said to be apparently dizzy and worn out.

Yasawa Islands
Coordinates: 16°55′S 177°20′E / 16.917°S 177.333°E
The Yasawa Group is an archipelago of about 20 volcanic islands in the Western Division of Fiji, with an approximate total area of 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi).
The Yasawa volcanic group consists of six main islands and numerous smaller islets. The archipelago, which stretches in a north-easterly direction for more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) from a point 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-west of Lautoka, is volcanic in origin and very mountainous, with peaks ranging from 250 to 600 metres (820 to 1,969 ft) in height. The only safe passage for shipping is between Yasawa Island (the largest in the archipelago, about 22 kilometres (14 mi) long and less than a kilometer wide) and Round Island, 22 kilometers to the north-east.
The British navigator William Bligh was the first European to sight the Yasawas in 1789, following the mutiny on the Bounty. Captain Barber in HMS Arthur visited the islands in 1794, but they were not charted until 1840, when they were surveyed and charted by a United States expedition commanded by Charles Wilkes.
Throughout the 1800s, Tongan raiders bartered for, and sometimes stole, the sail mats for which the Yasawa was famous for. The islands were largely ignored by the wider world until World War II, when the United States military used them as communications outposts.
Tourism, economy and culture[edit]
Until 1987, it was the policy of the Fiji government that the Yasawa Group was closed to land-based tourism. This was because the King of the Yasawa Group who was not controlled by the government did not want tourism. There were limited cruise operations since the 1950s, but passengers had to stay aboard their ships. Without tourism, the local residents lived in peace and harmony in a communal atmosphere. Since the Fijian government lifted the restrictions on land-based tourism in the Yasawa Group, a number of resorts have been established there. Due to its freehold real-estate status, three budget resorts were operating on Tavewa island since the early 1980s.
Areas of the Yasawas were the locales for both the 1949, and 1980 filming of the romance adventure film The Blue Lagoon, including the Sawa-i-lau caves, and the island Nanuya Levu (now called Turtle Island[1])
Tourism is growing in importance. Permission is required to visit all islands in the group except Tavewa. The home of the Tui Yasawa, the Paramount Chief of the Yasawa Islands, is at Yasawa-i-Rara, on Yasawa Island, but the largest village is Nabukeru.
Getting to the Yasawas[edit]
As one of the outer island chains, options to get to the Yasawa Islands are a bit more limited than some of the closer islands to Nadi and Denarau. Sea planes from local airlines (like Turtle Airways) make multiple flights to the Yasawa resorts per day, and charters are also available.[2] Helicopter charters are also available or you can take the Yasawa Flyer, a catamaran.

Here are some old newspaper adverts: three from the collection of the late Glyn Rees, three from Diana Hannam and one from Yours Truly. This one for Parry and Stevens Soda Water Works is dated 1857:
The following business, Dinorben Arms Hotel, must have been a forerunner of the Alexandra pub which was later renamed several times including as Off The Rails, Bar Blu, and now The Front Room:
Dinorben Arms Hotel would have been named after Lord Dinorben of Kinmel Hall near Abergele. He may have been owner of the premises and/or the land beneath - that may be how Kinmel Street got its name.

Dear community,
Since Nostalrius shut down, several legacy servers have been created, and continue to emerge. While some are aiming to provide the same experience that Nostalrius did, a memorable journey through Azeroth, others do not care about the community at all and are only attempting to make money as fast as possible.
Be aware that by providing your personal email, username or password, these people are creating databases they can later resell, compromising your personal data. With such databases, people with nefarious intents might then try to compromise more sensitive accounts, like those you might have on other legacy servers, or worse, your personal retail account. As a consequence, try to always use different email, username & password.
Another piece of advice is not to start on a new legacy server unless you can have some proof of what they have done, and do not provide any donations unless you have solid information on the project in question. Asking for a PTR prior to any time/money investment can be a good way to confirm that what is promised is indeed in line with the specification provided. Don't forget that in the end, as a community you have the power.
As a reminder, we do not endorse any other legacy servers.
Be very careful with any server project claiming otherwise or using the Nostalrius name.
Best regards,
A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality.
John Winston Lennon
