Hi I'm Staffordshire Wedding Photographer Gareth Newstead, I specialise in Wedding and Portrait photography acriss Staffordshire & Derbyshire. From my home in the pretty village of Barton-Under-Needwood I am ideally suited to cover Portrait, Event and Wedding Photography in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and across the Midlands. I'm happy to travel to new and exciting locations throughout the UK.
Photography is not just my job but my passion. I'm a people person and portraiture is what I most enjoy. I feel privileged to capture first-hand a behind-the-scenes look at people's personal moments, whether that be close-ups of the first kiss at your wedding, a special celebration or those precious moments with your family. I don't really like to label my style of photography but I do like to create an experience for everyone involved and as long as you love my work and like me then hopefully that's all that matters.
I specialize in Wedding Photography but also cover Family & Children Photography. In general I like to mix Natural Documentary Photography with Creative Portraiture. So whether you are looking for a Natural Documentary Wedding Photographer, Traditional Studio Portraits, Modern Lifestyle Photo shoots or Maternity and Newborn Photography; events booked with Gareth Newstead Photography have the same aim: to capture the images you want to see in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. Have a browse through my work, I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures as much as I have enjoyed taking them. I love what I do and I hope that comes across in my photographs. If you have any other photography requests please get in touch to discuss your photography requirements

A year and a half later,
They're done. Tiennie's pattern is great, but I chose the wrong yarn. The Madelinetosh was nice, but not appropriate for the pattern. Consequently, you can't really see the texture. And because you can't see the texture, I let these sit because the textured stitch was kind of a pain to do. SO, in order to liberate my needle, I changed the textured rib to just plain rib. It kills me that you have to look hard to see the difference.
I'm over brown yarn. I'm over textured socks with dark, mottled yarn.
But the most important thing is that I have my US 1.5 needle BACK so I can use if for my Socks Revived pattern. Although it was a slog to finish the second sock, it feels great to cross this off the WIP list.

"As this case demonstrates, the commission is now better armed than ever to protect the market from traders, like those here, who try to 'defend' their position by dumping a gargantuan, record-setting, volume of swaps virtually all at once, recklessly ignoring the obvious dangers to legitimate pricing forces," said CFTC Enforcement Director David Meister.
The losses, totaling over $6 billion, disrupted markets and led to a host of congressional investigations into how the trades were allowed to occur, and how clear the bank was with markets about the situation.
JPMorgan separately agreed in September to admit wrong and pay about $920 million to settle other securities law violations stemming from the high-profile losses. That settlement put to rest charges from four different American and British regulators.

August 2nd, 2016 by Jennifer Beile Round Up: How to Wear the Newest Summer Trends
Confession: I am a trend lover and follower. I'm not a sheep that will wear anything just because it's popular, but I love following trends and trying out the fun ones, even if they may not seem the most practical for everyday style. That's why I love thrifting and (don't judge me) fast-fashion stores. I'm able to find items that work with new trends without draining my bank account for something I'll potentially only wear for a season.
So, I've rounded up a few of my favorite new summer trends that may be a bit harder to pull off, along with a few tips on how to make them more everyday-appropriate!
The Slip Dress
I am loving this trend on models and street style stars, but I find it hard to not feel like I'm wearing my nightie out. Try dressing down your slip dress by layering it over a t-shirt, throwing in a casual light jacket, wearing a longer length, or wearing flats.
The Bodysuit
I loved the look from day one, but how do you wear a bodysuit without feeling too confined—or feeling like a baby in a onesie all day? The fit is key. Try one on with bottoms on over the top and take your time wearing it, making sure you're comfortable. Bodysuits are super simple, versatile pieces. I love pairing them with anything high waist and not having to worry about my tuck all day!
Ruffles are for little girls, right? Wrong! Ruffles are playful and can be subtly sexy when you find the right piece. Start small and if you feeling adventurous, go big on the sleeves of your top or on the hem of your skirt!
Statement Sleeves
Statement sleeves can absolutely be practical for everyday style. The key is keeping the rest of your outfit simple. Let the sleeves be the star!

text: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently gave the University of Texas at Arlington a $97,200 grant to host a conference where educators will discuss the effectiveness of a new trend in online learning. Researchers from across the U.S., Canada and Australia will talk about their research on how massive open online courses — or MOOCs — can personalize learning and change the dynamics of traditional forms of education. UT Arlington was selected to host MOOCs and Emerging Educational Models: Policy, Practice and Learning a Dec. 5-6 conference, in collaboration with the MOOC Research Initiative, which the foundation also funded, at Athabasca University in Canada. George Siemens, an expert in distance education who is behind the initiative, said UTA was picked as a host because of its strong presence in online learning. Online courses are gaining popularity in colleges and universities because of the outreach and flexibility, Siemens said. A massive open online class can have 200,000 global participants and offer up-to-date educational opportunities for people including students, doctors and even construction workers, he said. "The big distinction is that our need for learning has changed. Rarely can you enter a career right out of college and stay there the rest of your life. MOOCs, I think, are a reflection in which the learning needs of society of have changed and universities haven't," Siemens said. But according to a story in Time this month, though millions of students have signed up for massive open online courses at Stanford University and through an MIT-Harvard collaboration, 90 percent of people who sign up for mass online courses don't finish. "So, 2012 was called 'the year of the MOOC,' and everybody was all up in arms about how can you do this, but no one ever talked about the learning outcomes and how they can be used. That's what this conference is for," said Laurel Mayo, director of the Learning Innovation Network Lab at UTA. The College of Nursing is the only program where MOOCs are offered at UT Arlington. They are available through the Enhancing Patient Safety Through Interprofessional Collaborative Practice RN to BSN program. Source: Education News

Kurdistan focussed DNO International last week said it would still be "prepared to consider" a cash offer for Gulf Keystone but it would be at an even lower price than before.
Cantor Fitzgerald Oil Analyst Sam Wahab tells Proactive: "Back in July DNO offered a $300 mln cash and shares deal . At the time GKP was undergoing their own financial restructuring which seems to have reached a conclusion now. They've also done an open offer of $25 mln – so they're now boasting a cash position of $109 mln"
"In terms of DNO I think they're really playing down the value of Shaikan as an asset which comes across as slightly contrived in my opinion given that if they didn't believe it to be a good producer they wouldn't be coming back to the table looking to acquire it again", Wahab added.

Posted on 12/04/2003 9:30:18 AM PST by blam
Submerged city may be older than Mesopotamia
Utpal Parashar
Dehra Dun, December 3
A submerged coastal city near Poompuhar in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, is the focus of a major expedition being conducted jointly by the Indian Naval Hydrographic Department (INHD) and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
Both the organisations are trying to piece together the city's past, which some noted marine archaeologists consider to be the birthplace of modern civilisation. The once flourishing port city is located about one mile off the Nagapattinam coast.
"We have been able to locate a section of the city at a depth of 7 m and will soon start operations to recover objects that will help ascertain its past," said Rear Admiral K.R. Srinivasan, chief hydrographer to the Indian government.
English marine archaeologist Graham Hancock, who conducted an underwater exploration in the area in 2001, believes that the Poompuhar site could be older than Sumeria in Mesopotamia, where modern civilisation is believed to have originated nearly 5,000 years ago.
The 2001 expedition was funded by Channel Four of Britain and Learning Channel of the US in association with the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa.
It led Hancock to surmise that the city could have been submerged by a tidal wave as high as 400 ft somewhere between 17,000 and 7,000 years ago.
Other experts like Glenne Milne, a geologist at the University of Durham, UK, agree with Hancock. Video footage of the site shows that the submerged city near Poompuhar was far superior to constructions found in Harappan sites.
Although NIO had conducted similar offshore expeditions in the area in the late 1980s and early 1990s and discovered objects like ring wells, brick structures and megalithic wares it did not evince much interest till Hancock revealed his findings.
The new venture by the INHD and ASI may put an end to the debate on the submerged city. It could also rekindle a new interest in locating other such submerged towns and shipwrecks along India's coastline.
Lost Civilisation From 7,500BC Discovered Off Indian Coast (That's 9,500 years ago, wow)
Okay, FReeper 'farmfriend' keeps the ping list.
Me too!!
Graham Hancock is a freelance overseas journalist. He learned S.C.U.B.A. just so he could journalize ancient sunken cities. He digs deep and brings up cultural info that usually would be missed. He would have been a great cultural anthropologist.
This is the general location of the 'underwater city' linked in post number two.
I don't know the geography of Inda at all. Are we talking about two underwater sites, this article and the one in post #2, or, are they in different locations?
Thanks, I'm familiar with Graham's background, it's limited in this area.
He has proposed some interesting ideas and maybe even discovered some things, his conclusions ought to be closely reviewed in these cases though.
Excellent, thank you.
I think that's also the name of the fictional journalist Michael Savage uses for bits.
I very much like that turn of phrase. But reasonable skepticism is essential in evaluating any of this stuff.
No, I've not read Written In Stone
Go here for the latest update on the underwater site off the coast of Cuba.
Yup. I saw that for the second time.
I read an interesting article sometime back that speculates about the prehistoric South Americans making moves from the coastal areas to inland regions just to get away from tsunamis. I may have something in the GGG files on this, I'll go look. (something about meteorite impacts in the Pacific Ocean)
BTW, just read last night that meteorite impacts into water causes the climate to get warm and wet while those on land causes cold and dry conditions.
Evidence Of Tunguska-Type Impacts Over The Pacific Basin Around The Year 1178AD
I like this by Chet RaymoThe Real Story Of Ireland's Snakes
"Alexander and Edith Tollmann, geologists at the University of Virginia, have argued that a series of large ocean impacts, coupled with smaller land collisions, in the middle of the eighth millennium BC is the cause of Noah's Flood... Greenland ice-core data and tree-rings show that something major did happen right at the time the Tollmanns propose. A very strong acid layer has been dated to 7630BC (+-170 years)"
They go on to propose: "...the Tollmanns argue that a comet with seven large fragments struck the world's oceans more or less simultaneously in the Tasman Sea southeast of Australia, in the South China Sea, in the west-central Indian Ocean, in the North Atlantic, in the central Atlantic south of the Azores, in the Pacific off Central America, and farther south in the Pacific just west of Tierra del Fuego. The impacts set up giant tsunamis...."
Looks like this could be a possible source of a giant tsunami in the correct time frame, huh.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this ping list.

In 1991-92, the first year of the changes, the number of finished consultant episodes - the approximation for patients treated - rose by 7.3 per cent, figures released yesterday show. Spending that year, in the run-up to the general election, rose by 6.6 per cent in real terms.
Last year, patient treatment numbers rose by 4.3 per cent, with a spending increase of 5.5 per cent, while in the current year, when spending has risen by 3 per cent, the number of patients treated is expected to rise by 3.5 per cent - half the rate of two years ago.
The NHS now faces 'a new challenge to maintain the momentum' he said, after a period when increases in the numbers of patients treated have 'outstripped anything we saw before the reforms'. In the 1980s, the increase in numbers treated averaged 2 per cent.
Next year ministers are hoping for a 4 per cent rise in activity on the back of the 1.4 per cent rise in spending announced in the Budget. That will depend on the level of pay rises and on efficiency gains of 2.25 per cent - the highest the NHS has ever been asked to produce.
Launching last year's health service annual report, Sir Duncan said the NHS had treated more patients than ever (nearly 8 million); had cut waiting times and become more cost-effective partly because of a switch to day surgery, from 38 per cent of non-urgent cases to a forecast 45 per cent this year.
David Blunkett, Labour's health spokesman, argued the report was out of date, with figures showing a 25 per cent rise in numbers waiting more than a year for treatment.
The new figures come as Sir Duncan confirmed that league tables of hospitals' performance will be published in June after agreement with the Audit Commission on how they should be compiled.

JIPH Accepted for MEDLINE Indexing
Amman, Jordan, 20 October 2010 – Elsevier Middle East announces that the Journal of Infection and Public Health (JIPH) has been selected for inclusion in MEDLINE, the premier bibliographic database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). Citations for articles indexed, the indexing terms and the abstract printed in the journal are now searchable using PubMed (www.pubmed.gov). Indexing using the US National Library of Medicine's (NLM) advanced MeSH terminology will be retroactive from Volume 1, Issue 1 (2008) of the journal.
"This news is very gratifying and underscores the hard work and dedication of all Editorial Board members, as well as the contributions of the authors," commented Ziad A. Memish, MD, FRCPC, FACP, JIPH Editor-in-Chief. "MEDLINE recognition means that the contributions of authors submitting their work to JIPH will now be viewed and cited more widely than ever before and we anticipate that our indexed status will have a very positive impact on manuscript submissions and international readership."
"The Middle East is an increasingly important region for scholarly research," Haifa Mughrabi, Director of Elsevier Middle East said. "JIPH is the first title from our Middle East journal portfolio to achieve this goal through the hard work and dedication of the editorial board."
JIPH is the official publication of the Saudi Arabian National Guard Health Affairs, and King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health. The journal aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.

The 1984 film "Ghostbusters" provided many of us with our first glimpse of a particle accelerator. Sure, the movie's "proton packs" were highly fictionalized and chock-full of pseudoscience, but their purpose was obvious: capture a negatively charged phantom by hitting it with a string of positively charged protons. Don't cross the streams and you're fine.
SLIDE SHOW: Top 5 Misconceptions About the Large Hadron Collider.
WATCH VIDEO: Discovery News investigates how and why the Large Hadron Collider is smashing protons together at record energies.
But what about in real life? The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) operates the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The minds behind the particle accelerator certainly didn't build it to help capture ghosts, so what are LHC scientists looking for in their underground laboratories?
They are looking for something called the Higgs boson, a theoretical particle that exists as an excitation of the Higgs field. Particle physicists say this field exists throughout the universe, and that massless particles gain mass merely by passing through the field. Finding the Higgs boson could provide an explanation of why matter has mass and flesh out several cosmic mysteries.
Hunting the Higgs
First researchers have to catch the Higgs — and it's one slippery phantom.
"It turns out that the Higgs particle is incredibly unstable," says Tom LeCompte of Argonne National Laboratory, "so we only get to see it from its decay products. It falls apart moments after it's created. So what we're really looking for are the fragments."
By analyzing the fragments, LHC researchers hope to piece together the Higgs. Yet, as with any scientific investigation, the outcome is never certain.
"In some cases we say, 'Wait a second! We're seeing a number of things that all look the same. This might be the Higgs boson, but it might be something else,'" LeCompte says. "You don't really know when you start this kind of search what it is you're going to find on the other side. Columbus thought he'd found a route to India, but it turns out he actually found something far more interesting."
When scientists fire it up, the LHC accelerates two beams of particles close to the speed of light through a 17-mile (27-kilometer) ring of superconducting magnets. Each beam travels in a different direction, all inside a vacuum. It's like Gomez Addams' train set: Eventually there's going to be a collision. Six different experiments, including LeCompte's own ATLAS project, observe the collisions at four different points on the ring — and not everyone's looking for the Higgs.
"You don't want to think too much of the LHC as a single-purpose experiment designed to do just one thing," LeCompte says. "It's really more of an exploration of how matter behaves at the shortest distances and at the highest energy. When you have 3,000 people working on a project, they don't all have exactly the same scientific interests."
LeCompte stresses that the exact outcome isn't guaranteed.
"If the Higgs is the right explanation of what's going on, then it is almost certain that the LHC will see it," LeCompte says. "So it's almost guaranteed. The reason I say 'almost' is that if it's just the Higgs by itself, we will clearly see it. But if the Higgs is part of a more complicated structure, we might at first miss pieces of that overall structure."
For now, the Higgs remains elusive, but research continues at the $10 billion LHC facility beneath the French/Swiss border near Geneva. In fact, CERN is already planning a larger, even more powerful collider to carry on the research.

It was first proposed by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969, and first celebrated at Kent State one year later, in February 1970. In 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial, Black History Month was officially recognized by the U.S. government. You'll hear: To Cut Food Waste, Expiration Labels Get an Update By Luke Runyon • Feb 17, 2017 Brian Seifferlein/Harvest Public Media file photo It's a classic conundrum that comes up every time you're cleaning out the fridge: the package label says the food is past its prime, but it's not moldy or smelly. Do you give it a chance or toss it in the trash? For a great number of consumers it's the latter, but now some of the largest food retail trade groups are hoping to settle the score and clear up the confusion in hopes of keeping more food in bellies, rather than sending heaps of food to landfills. Day Without Immigrants Des Moines March By Sarah Boden • Feb 17, 2017 Sarah Boden/IPR Hundreds of Iowans participated in Des Moines's "Day Without Immigrants" march, an event that was one of many taking place around the country yesterday. The march is designed to highlight the importance of immigrant labor to the US economy. Dozens of Latino-owned businesses closed and people took off work to make the point that immigrants provide an important source of labor, often by taking on low-pay, backbreaking jobs many US citizens don't want. What to Expect in Iowa from Wisconsin's Act 10 By Clay Masters • Feb 17, 2017 John Pemble / IPR Both of the Republican-majority chambers of the Iowa legislature have passed a sweeping bill that dramatically hits public sector union collective bargaining rights. In Wisconsin, a similar bill passed six years ago. It has significantly scaled back the power of the state's public sector unions in not only negotiating contracts but also fundraising for democratic candidates. IPR's Clay Masters talks with Wisconsin Public Radio's Shawn Johnson about how things have changed there since Act 10 was passed in 2011. Iowa Sheriffs Consider Whether to Remain a Sanctuary By Rob Dillard • Feb 17, 2017 Rob Dillard, Iowa Public Radio Until recently, sheriff's departments in 26 Iowa counties pursued policies described as "sanctuary" protections for undocumented immigrants. That number appears to be going down. At the start of a public forum in the gymnasium of Hampton-Dumont High School, some ground rules are laid out by the event's organizer, Sister Carmen Hernandez. "I would ask that any comments, or political comments and opinions might be saved for another time," she tells the crowd. "That probably won't happen, but just so we know." Iowa Educator - Twice Nominated for Grammy - Teaches Kids About Life Through Music By Lindsey Moon & Charity Nebbe • Feb 16, 2017 Photo Courtesy of Nate Sletten Nate Sletten leads the band program at Earlham High School, and he has twice been nominated for a Grammy for Music Educator of the Year. This year, he was a semi-finalist, chosen in a group of 25 music educators from across the country. He did not win, but he's done some amazing work building the band program in Earlham, in part by continuing to play in bands himself and letting students sit in with him. He says he chooses to stay in a rural district because of the relationships he has the opportunity to build there. Carla Offenburger Shares Wisdom After Receiving Third Cancer Diagnosis By Emily Woodbury & Charity Nebbe • Feb 16, 2017 Courtesy of the Offenburgers Many Iowans remember Chuck Offenburger from the years he spent writing for the Des Moines Register as the "Iowa Boy" columnist.
