'Riverview House', as described in the book, COMING HOME, by Rosamunde Pilcher
For sale?! I dove at once for my cell phone, ready to call the kindly husband and make my case. But - oh dear, he would be asleep now, wouldn't he...and wouldn't it be rude to wake him..
So I will stand there, and contemplate. It is a nice house, yes, a very nice one. Tall, and stately, and surely just as nice inside. But that is not why I was so interested. It isn't just any house, dear Readers. It is HER house. The house of the lady who is the reason I came to Cornwall in the first place. Rosamunde. Pitcher. Her house.
I took down the particulars, and saw a little orange sign just below the 'for sale'. It said, in a faded lettering, 'PLOT'. I had no idea at all what they might mean by 'PLOT', and so promptly forgot it. And on we walked.
Later in the week I happened to be near the Bradley's Estate Agent office and thought that I really should go in. Even if they thought I was crazy, I should really go in. And ask.
And, I did sort of tiptoe in. A lady sat, regarding me kindly, and said, "How may we help?"
"Well, I was out at Lelant, and came across the house right next to the Lelant Railway Station. Do you know the one?"
Oh yes, she knew it.
"And, it is for sale?" I queried.
"Oh well, no, actually madam, the house is not for sale. The PLOT is for sale."
Oh. We discussed PLOTs, and houses, and land. It turned out that the PLOT is the green grassy area just below the house, and just above the sort of hedgerow, you see. It is only a part of the land, it is not the house that is for sale.
"But why would anyone want to sell just that plot?"
The SconeLady can see herself sitting with scones in front of the fire, of a chilly evening..
It was because the house currently needs repairs, and the only way to do that is to sell part of the land. And whoever buys the plot of land will likely come and build something on it. And block out HER house.
"Does she know it used to be Rosamunde Pilcher's house???" I asked, a bit of desperation in my voice.
"No, I don't think she knows that. I did not know that until this instant."
It boggles the mind. If this were in the States there would be neon signs announcing the home of Rosamunde Pilcher. The street would probably be named after her. That house would probably be on a 'famous homes tour', with noisy buses driving past it day and night.
But this is Cornwall, dear Readers. One can actually, simply live, here. (Who knew?)
See you along the way!
the SconeLady

Looking after yourself has never been more important. With more of us suffering from stress and burnout than ever before, taking time out to replenish your mental wellbeing isn't merely a luxury – it's a necessity.
If you're feeling run down, pulled in 10 different directions or at the whim of other people's schedules (and really, who isn't?), it might be time to put on the brakes and practice some self-care.
The idea is that you purposefully schedule some time to complete the activities or rituals that help to maintain your physical, mental or emotional health. This could be anything from an enjoyable exercise and relaxation techniques to simply taking an evening off to nap on the sofa in front of your favourite mindless TV.
Today is world kindness day. Yes, it's important that we are kind to others, but it's also important that we are kind to ourselves. "You can not pour from an empty cup", you can't contribute to the people around you, to your job or to your environment if you are running on empty. Self care, self love and self kindness are not selfish, it's the opposite- when you feel calm, energised and content you will bring happiness, generosity and value to your environment. Be kind to yourself today. Accept and appreciate your body, your health, your self. Have a long bath, go for a facial, have a massage, go to the gym. Do something for you ?? . . . #worldkindnessday #kindness #bekind #kindtoyou #selflove #selfcare #selfnurture #selfkindness #actofkindness #kindnessrocks #selfish #number1 #generosity #happiness #love #giving #contribution #content #girlboss #workingwomen #gurltalk
As this week (13 – 19 November) marks Self Care Week, there's never been a better time to start making this important practice part of your daily routine.
We spoke to two health experts to find some easy ways to self nurture at home.
Jennifer Boon, life coach and self-help author, says:
1. Put aside regular time for you.
Bath time chills ???????? #bath #bubbles #bubblebath #nevertoomanybubbles #chilled #relaxed #hotbubblebath
In our busy lives, our own needs can fall to the bottom of the list of priorities. So put aside some regular time in the diary; it will give you some breathing space to do something just for yourself. If it's hard to think up what to do with time for you've set aside, create a pampering list to refer to – this can be as simple as having a bubble bath, or watching your favourite film.
2. Pause before giving your answers to requests.
The most valuable relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself. #knowyourworth #selflove #selfcare #tothineownselfbetrue #dontchasethemreplacethem
It's easy to over commit and stretch yourself, which means you have less time to do what is really important to you. Next time you're asked to do something, breathe in and pause before answering. Get into the habit of saying, 'Let me have a think and get back to you' before committing. This will give you some time to really decide if you can feasibly manage it without overloading yourself.
3. Bring awareness to your internal chatterbox
Morning friends ? Let's CHOOSE to have a good day today! Yesterday was one of those marathon days where it lasts forever but you also don't have enough time in the day to finish what you need to. Would I rather be having coffee in bed right now with my bf? Yes! But I'm not, I'm on my way to work again and I'm gonna make it a great day! Sometimes making that decision is all you need to change your headspace. × × × Does this work for you? What do you do to reset after a hard day?
We all have an inner voice. Sometimes this can be supportive, but a lot of the time it can be harsh, critical or judgemental. With kindness to yourself, start bringing awareness to your internal voice.
If you're unsure if your dialogue is critical, ask yourself if you would say it to a close friend. We all have a choice as to whether we listen to our internal chatterbox, or whether to change those negative thought patterns. Create positive statements around your home to help you to bring self compassion to your internal dialogue.
4. Create a home space worthy of you
Hello warm and cozy! Who wants to curl up by the fire this evening? ?? Tag someone who loves fireplace feels. See the rest of this beautiful cottage in our Autumn 2016 issue. (link in profile) ?? #thecottagejournal #cottagestyle #cottage #cabin #fireplace #fall #autumn?? #cozy #interiors #decorate #designs #inspo #fire
Clearing your home space helps to create a comfortable haven, which, in turn, shows that you are worthy enough of having a safe, homely, clutter-free living space. This can be as simple as having a clear out and reorganising your space so it feels good to spend time in.
Chris Magee, head of yoga at Another_Space, says:
5. Get physical
Feeling like a glow worm, is that possible???Just got home after teaching a super fun glow in the dark yoga class for @asos x @adidasuk tonight, thanks for having me!???? Such a cool event with a live orchestra AND arts and crafts!?? See you this week in class yogis before I am off to Bali for my last retreat of the year??????????????????#powerweekldn
If you're feeling stressed or anxious, a great way to take care of yourself is by putting in a workout. Keeping fit will promote good endorphin release and cause you to feel more relaxed – so it's a benefit to both your body and mind. It's also a great opportunity for you to focus solely on you. It's a chance to remove yourself from the source of stress, clear your mind and return to any problems feeling refreshed.
6. Eat well
Post yoga breakfast bowl as I go through my emails ?? Our Bircher Muesli mixed with almond milk and a dollop of coconut yoghurt, topped with sliced banana and berries ???? Simple, speedy and so delicious!
Eating a balanced diet, which is full of healthy fats, carbs and protein, will ensure you're fuelling your body properly. Not only does this mean you'll have enough energy for the day, but eating healthily will help your brain to function properly.
7. Embrace a digital detox
I'm a Gen Xer who is nostalgic for the days when the only things in my bag were my wallet and a big fat novel. Yes, I value my smartphone but I resent the way it has highjacked my brain. What do you think? Do you ever want to throw your phone out the window? ## #unplug #unplugged #digitaldetox #slowdown #focus
With social media and emails in the palm of our hands, it can be hard to properly switch off from the stimulation of the day and the responsibilities of life. Embrace an hour or two every day, preferably before bed, where you can turn off your devices and enjoy your evening without any distractions. Not only will it de-stress you, but avoiding screens before bed will help you to get a better night's sleep.

Thanks to its clear mission and ties to The Wendy's Co., the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption has always had a national presence. Now, however, it's gone from talk to action.
"We moved from an awareness organization, although we still do that, to an organization that directly works to get these children out of foster care and into adoptive homes," says President and CEO Rita Soronen.
Prove the model
Wendy's Wonderful Kids started in seven pilot sites in 2004. Adoption professionals try to place children most at risk for leaving foster care without a family. Soronen says recruiters carry a smaller caseload and get to know the children, who often can be placed with a former foster parent, extended family member, counselor, etc.
Since then, the innovative program expanded on a small scale to all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and seven Canadian provinces, and research shows children in the program were up to three times more likely to be adopted.
"We had maybe one or two recruiters that we were funding in some states, which was lovely for those 30 children that were being served. But if there were 500 children in that position, we weren't really making a dent," she says.
Going full scale
With a co-investment from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, Wendy's Wonderful Kids has tested its model on different child welfare systems and populations in varying political environments. It has expanded its presence and scaled up in eight states and Ontario, Canada, and expects to scale across the country by 2029.
"When a child ages out of care at 18, not because they're bad kids, not because they're any less capable than any other child, but because they don't have the safety net of family, they're at a much higher risk of negative outcomes," Soronen says. "Things like homelessness, being under-educated, unemployed, early parenting, substance abuse — all those things can happen to a child that can't go home and say, 'I need some help, mom. I need some help, dad.'"
Sustainability is key, she says. Through a public/private partnership, 53 Ohio recruiters help move children out of expensive foster care and into adoptive homes.
"The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption continues to do things like data management, training, technical assistance, so it's a true partnership. But the bulk of the funding ultimately, over a three- to five-year period, will gently slide over to the state, and it simply becomes how they do business," Soronen says. "That's what's happened in Ohio, and we believe it will happen in other states."
Wendy's Wonderful Kids
To help the 20,000 children who age out of foster care each year, the program funds and manages 437 recruiters across the U.S. and Canada. By the time children are referred to a recruiter:
- 90 percent are older than age 8.
- 33 percent have had six or more placements.
- 52 percent have been in foster care more than four years.

Modernization of the Penitentiary System of the Republic of Panama
- European Comission
|Panama (America)
The general aim of the Project is to contribute to the consolidation of the State of Rights in Panama a and also to collaborate in the improvement the conditions of the convicts' human right.
The specific objective is the improvement of the Penitentiary System efficiency and to get that this system fulfills its two main functions: guarantee the internal security within the penitentiary centres and the rehabilitation and social reinsertion of those deprived of liberty.
The Project is focused in five components:
- Institutional Strengthening of the Penitentiary System General Directorates
- Improvement in the fulfillment of the legal guarantees of those without liberty.
- Improvement of health conditions for the convicts
- Development of the convicts' rehabilitation system
- Improvement in the management of the internal security of the prison facilities.
The beneficiaries of the Project are the Penitentiary System General Directorate and the Public Defender's Office which depend on the Judicial Organism. As well, there are a series of factors that, in some way, will affect or will be affected by the penitentiary reform and with which the project will work hand in hand. These are: the Judicial Organism, the National Police, the main Faculties of law in Panama City, the Ministry of Health (MINSA) and its medical and paramedical staff attached to the project, the National Institute of Professional Formation (INAFORP) and the Ministry of Education.

Earliest discovery of clove and pepper from ancient south Asia
Sri Lanka has been at the centre of the spice trade for millennia and is today one of the biggest suppliers of clove to Europe, where it has become synonymous with Christmas and winter treats such as mulled wine.
|A team of archaeologists from UCL have discovered the first empirical evidence of cloves and black pepper
to have been found in Sri Lanka, suggesting that exotic spice trade in the region dates
back to as early as 600 AD [Credit: UCL]
Lead author, Dr Eleanor Kingwell-Banham (UCL Archaeology), said: "The clove predates most other finds of cloves from outside South Asia by around 500 years. There are only two other reports of clove in the world, including one from Syria which dates back to around 2,000 BC, but these have not been properly dated or recorded and the cloves, if there actually were any, have since been lost. So this discovery of clove in Sri Lanka is the earliest well dated and scientifically catalogued clove in the world.
"The black pepper is also quite a rare discovery for such an early period. However, we do have several earlier finds, for example from Pompeii and Herculaneum c.79 AD. There are also reports of pepper in the tomb of Rameses II, the third king of the 19th dynasty of Egypt, who died in 1213 BC and had two grains placed in his nostrils."
Clove is native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia where it has grown for thousands of years, without needing to be planted by people. The first clove tree was planted around the 16-17th century during the spice trade wars when the Dutch East India Company wanted a monopoly on the clove crop.
Dr Kingwell-Banham, added: "The clove from Mantai would have been grown and harvested in the Maluku Islands, Indonesia, where it originated, then packed and shipped to Mantai possibly via Southeast Asia for trade onwards to any one of the regions that Sri Lanka traded with at that time - be it the Roman Empire, India or to Arabia. The amazing thing is that the Maluku Islands are around 7000 km from Sri Lanka and people were shipping them in relatively simple wind powered ships, which means they must have been highly valued.

The discovery has been a long time coming, as excavation at the site started in the early 1980s but was disrupted by the civil war in 1984. The excavations were not renewed until 2009-2010 when extensive remains were discovered.
The trench was excavated to the depth of 10m down to what appeared to be the mid Holocene period. Charred remains were collected and samples dried on site and packed into sealed plastic bags before being exported to the UCL Institute of Archaeology for analysis. Each sample was sorted and analysed using an optical microscope.
From the 2009-2010 excavations researchers also identified other food sources and ceramics. A total of 3,235 cereal grains and grain fragments were identified, 1830 (57 per cent) of which have been identified as rice and 84 (2.5 per cent) as wheat. While a total of 11,418 pottery fragments representing 123 different wares (about 80% produced in Sri Lanka and 20% imported) were also identified.
Dr Kingwell-Banham, said: "Traditionally when we think of early towns we think of mono-cultures but this new evidence suggests that ancient Mantai was a multi-cultural and dynamic trading hub.
"The discovery of wheat is particularly interesting because it is an indication that there were people living there at the time that weren't interested in eating local staples such as rice and dahl. This suggests that there may have been different cultural groups co-habiting at the time, possibly from the Mediterranean or Arabia. It would've been an early cosmopolitan settlement."

I'm standing in front of the Flinders Street Station waiting for my pares to arrive. They will be at least another 15 minutes. It's now 9.15am and the city is beginning to wake.
Haven't been able to check into my hotel room, which is a bugger, but the bill's paid and everything is being held in storage till I get back. I'm in Melbourne to see two exhibitions: John Brack and Salvador Dali. The trouble is I think my pares only want to see the Dali. The reason why this is a problem is because the Ian Potter Gallery (Brack) closes at 5pm while the NGV (Dali) not until 9, so I could easily see both if I saw the Brack first. I'll mention this to them, but I'm not sure how eager they'll be. They'll still need to travel back to Bendigo and I'm sure they've already planned their homeward timetable. Anyway, breakfast is the first thing. I've had about an hour and a half's sleep and will kill for a coffee, bacon and eggs.
I needn't have worried about the exhibitions. While my pares didn't know about the John Brack I did spent a bit of time selling its fine points (how Bendigo's gallery has a couple of his works, how they would probably recognise his very early work 5pm Collins Street, how Dah might appreciate Brack's representation of 1950's men) before steering them towards the gallery and towards the lift. I think they really enjoyed his work and were particularly impressed how diverse his styles were. Like Mah said, you'd have thought that the works were done by three different artists. I think Dah was impressed too as he regularly commented on realistic some of his older pieces looked, or on the faces of his earlier pieces. We didn't spend a huge amount of time – well, not a huge amount for me anyway, but we did see everything and went back to some pieces to review again. My legs were starting to feel tired too so I'd had enough and was desperate for a cuppa. So we trotted down the road to the NGV for a pot of tea each before tackling the Dali exhibition.
The Dali was designed as a retrospective and covered his very first works (at 15 years old) through to his final days in the 1980's. I'm in a quandary but this exhibition; I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that his iconic works (melting clocks, swans turning into elephants, bowls of fruit becoming faces, the Venus chest of drawers), or pleased that I was able to see unfamiliar work (umm… well, basically everything on display). I was happy that two of the pieces were film works: An Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou) (1928), Dali's collaboration with Luis Buñuel; and the 2003 completed Disney piece Destino (2003) that was considered for the second chapter of Fantasia. The two last pieces I went back to the gallery and saw after saying good-bye to the pares. I rushed back, saw them, then went back to the hotel and fell straight asleep till my alarm went off at 9am.
In between my two visits Dah and I were dragged to the casino – "for a late lunch" Mah said – but we both knew better. After our meals Dah and I sat in one of the bar areas while Mah went and fed coins into the bandits. She enjoyed herself, I suppose.
I'm very glad we did both exhibitions, especially after Mah said that she enjoyed the Brack – who she had never heard of – more than the Dali. There is more a commentary with Brack's work and what he was trying to achieve throughout his career – to capture human interaction. I enjoyed his work much more too.

PHOENIX, AZ – Strong market performance and continued confidence in Phoenix's industrial market future has spurred the $18.4 million sale of Phoenix Logistics Center – sold this week by the Phoenix office of JLL on behalf of a joint venture between Overton Moore Properties and PCCP LLC, and acquired by Colony Northstar.
JLL Managing Directors Bo Mills and Mark Detmer, and Vice President Ryan Sitov represented the property sellers.
"The Phoenix Logistics portfolio represents a quality multi-tenant industrial asset that is difficult to replicate in today's market," said Jason Hines, Vice President of Overton Moore Properties. "We are pleased with the sale and the overall execution of our value-add strategy in the Phoenix industrial market."
"Phoenix Logistics Center is institutionally maintained, with an extremely strong credit tenancy and the potential to add value through the development of two acres of excess land," said Mills. "It is an exceptional opportunity that brings together all of the attributes that an investor looks for when seeking a Class A industrial asset."
|Mark Detmer
Phoenix Logistics Center totals 245,890 square feet in two buildings located at 420 S. 53rd Ave. and 1002 S. 56th Ave. in Phoenix's Southwest submarket.
Both buildings have been recently refurbished with $1.75 million in capital improvements, including new roofing, HVAC, T-5 lighting, paint, landscaping and power and plumbing upgrades.
The buildings sit on 13.8 acres, including two acres of excess land that can be developed, paved or used to expand the 53rd Avenue building.
Each building can accommodate single- and multi-tenant configurations, with dock-high and grade-level loading, and 24' to 30' clear heights. The portfolio is currently 91.3 percent leased to five quality tenants, including long-term anchor tenant Blue Line Foodservice Distribution, a division of Little Caesar Enterprises.
Phoenix Logistics Center is located 1.9 miles from the Loop 101 and 2.3 miles from I-10, offering direct access to all points in metro Phoenix, as well as key distribution routes to California, the Southwest and beyond.

Asking rental rates have increased an average of 4.5 percent every year since 2011. These factors, combined with robust population growth, employment growth and housing recover, have increased demand for available space across the local industrial market.

The nearest health centre is miles away from the village of Gawsawayne, Somaliland. So getting sick from drinking dirty water is a serious matter.
As the only doctor living here, Jama Abdi Abdile is under incredible pressure. Trapped by poverty and parched by drought, this community relies on him. His tiny house has been taken over by medical supplies, and he travels from home to home treating his patients. The one thing he needed more than anything else was clean water. With support from people like you, Oxfam was able to provide it – by the truckload.
When you talk to Jama, the challenges he faces every day are clear. "The area is quite extensive and there are so many people living here. People living this close together brings more risk of diseases. There are so many difficulties, but I try to do as much as I can." If this last part feels like an understatement, that's because it is. Jama saves lives, against the odds, every single day.
Many people in Jama's village lost their livestock because of the drought, and couldn't afford to buy food. Parents had no choice but to watch their children get sick from drinking dirty water out of a nearby shallow spring. And malnutrition was becoming a huge problem, putting pregnant and breastfeeding mothers at particular risk. "Every month, the number of cases is getting bigger," Jama says.
Getting help to everyone who needs it is a mammoth task, but Jama started to see some light on the horizon the day Oxfam began trucking water into the village.
Getting water flowing in this village was a huge relief for its dedicated doctor.
Jama no longer has to worry about paying for clean water to be brought in from far away – and he doesn't think twice about using it to mix his urgently needed Oral Rehydration Salts. Put simply, it's now cheaper and easier for Jama to treat people.
"The water we are receiving has helped us immensely," he says. "It has helped us to reduce the costs, and it is helping patients to take their medications. If people drink this water they are less likely to be sick. This has also boosted the morale of the whole community."
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Oxfam can keep working with determined people like Jama to help some of the world's poorest communities get through the East African drought. And we'll stick around to help those communities figure out how to make sustainable livelihoods in the changing, drying climate.
Jama's job will never be easy – but it doesn't have to be impossible, either. With your help, we can keep the water truck visiting Gawsawayne village – and replenish hope with every litre of clean water we deliver.
From war zones to refugee camps, with Oxfam you'll find hope in unexpected places.
Click here to read more amazing stories of how your support keeps hope alive for people living in poverty.

We all need work flexibility for different reasons and in all walks of our life. We need millions of people to bring their hands for support and flexibility as we all believe in the power of numbers. Teleworking means the utilization of telecommunications and information technology to avoid work related to travelling.
Teleworking helps employees to work from their home or from any local center two or more than two days each week, utilizing communication tools like modem, fax, teleconferencing, phone, IM, voice calls, emails to do all their duties from their places or any remote locations. People believe that teleworking has many benefits not only for employees, but also for the employers. Here we will tell you some great benefits of teleworking.
Increase productivity
There is a major misconception about teleworking that once the employees are out of your sight, they will just waste time. However, according to a Stanford study, it is that employees actually raised their productivity by around 20% when they were allowed to work from their places. Also, studies have shown that teleworkers worked 6-8 hours extra than their offices.
Enhances morale
Let's assume that you have old parents and you are the only one to take care of them and also take your parents for frequent doctor visits. By the ability to work from your place, you get a better balance between your work and family.
Employees feel valued and become happier in the mode of teleworking . This happiness turns into gratitude and makes employees more dedicated to their companies and work. They start to work even harder. According to a study, both employees and employers are happier and less stressed than people who go to the offices daily.
Lowers the turnover
When employees are not happy with commutes, they make more excuses like falling sick or find for other positions, which will help them work from home and quit at the end. Loss or productivity can make a huge loss for the company and that can even go to lacks of dollars when your employee resigns.
Workers and employees who are provided with the choice to work and telecommute are much more happy with their employers and their work to teleworking than old office workers. Staying happy at job means employees will stay in their positions and that will save the company with a lot of money in the future. That's really a big teleworking benefit.
Cost effective
If you even thought that employees get advantages of teleworking, and then think again. Surely employees avoid extra expenses which come along with them by working in offices like daily lunches, transportation charges, having to purchase office attires. But even the employers save a lot of money. It is said that for even employees who telecommutes, an organization saves around $15000 every year.
Eco friendly
A huge number of employees drive in to work every day. All that pollution and harmful gases can take a great toll on the environment. A recent study shows that teleworking saves a lot of energy that can power about one million houses for the whole year. In this way, both organizations and their employees can lower their footprints when their employees work from their place.
Program continuity
Teleworking serves like a mechanism to prevent or minimize other external impacts on programs and projects. Employees are less likely to utilize sick days. An employee usually finds a way to work from home and allows the project to proceed. ezTalks Cloud Meeting can help keep employees on the same page and collaborate on the same project or program.
Teleworking is even useful in lowering the impacts of things like extremely hot weather, special events, highway constructions etc. it is said that there are endless benefits of teleworking for employers and even employees.
Now, you have a better understanding of teleworking benefits. Clearly teleworking is not meant for everyone. Although many employees report that they have no stress, but isolation can bring its own kind of stress. This is the main reason why shared workspaces and co-working are growing in the industry.
To lower the isolation, people are suggested to have workers work split in working from the office and working from home. If your company can go for teleworking and obtains teleworking benefits, it can give teleworking a try.This will definitely make your company save more and become more productive.

In many ways, the Payton Jordan Invitational did what it was supposed to do -- provide fast distance-running times. Indeed, 65 runners achieved Olympic entry standards -- including 26 in the women's 10,000 meters alone -- and there were five world-leading times on Sunday night at Cobb Track & Angell Field.
The meet peaked when 41-year-old Bernard Lagat provided the night's signature moment after winning the 10,000 in a U.S.-leading time and Olympic qualifier, setting a world masters' record of 27:49.35 in the process. The Payton Jordan crowd, which always appreciates a good 10,000, was on its feet to honor the five-time world champion in his debut track 10K, and Lagat responded in turn by saluting and applauding the crowd in gratitude.
Moments like these define the meet, and brings out the best in Stanford. Sean McGorty ran the fastest collegiate men's 5,000 this year (13:24.25) while also slipping under the Olympic standard by less than a second.
Freshman Grant Fisher ran his debut track 5,000 so well, finishing the second section in 13:39.42, that he became the seventh-fastest junior (defined as 19 and under by the IAAF governing body) in American history.
Vanessa Fraser had a huge drop in time in the women's 5,000, dipping into the all-time Cardinal top 10, and teammate Elise Cranny matched Fisher's 5,000 debut with a memorable one of her own. Sophomore Olivia Baker got the breakthrough 800 she was looking for (2:01.02) and fifth-year senior Molly McNamara achieved her fourth lifetime best in as many meets this season, running a 2:04.61.
And none of these mentions include the dual of incoming Stanford freshmen Christina Aragon and Ella Donaghu the women's 1,500. In Section Three, Donaghu pulled off a 4:15.28 -- surpassing Aragon's 2015 effort as the fifth-fastest in high school history. About three hours later, Aragon did Donaghu even better, pulling away from some of the biggest names in U.S. women's middle-distance to win Section Two while clocking 4:11.24 -- the No. 4 high school time ever and No. 6 on the American junior list. With Cranny back as a junior next year, Stanford will have three of the six fastest girls' high school 1,500's in history, all on the same team.
But for all of its' distance-running glitter, the Payton Jordan pulled off some surprises.
Stanford All-America decathlete Harrison Williams provided a huge indication of his overall talent by winning the 110-meter hurdles in 13.88, to shatter his lifetime best in becoming the second-fastest high hurdler in Stanford history.
And first-team All-America discus Valarie Allman continues to put forth a remarkable season, winning the discus at 193-5 -- her third lifetime best in that event this season.
And there was the 400-meter duo of Gaby Gayles and fellow Cardinal sophomore Michaela Crunkleton Wilson, who each ran personal bests -- 53.59 for Gayles and 53.8 for Crunketon Wilson. The significance? Four Cardinal have now run sub-54 in the 400 and those four have not run a 4x400 relay together yet this season. But when they do, expect some fireworks and perhaps an assault on the school record.
Clearly, there was much for Stanford to celebrate Sunday. And better yet? There appears to be more to come.

Advisory Board Member
EVP of Business Development & COO
Strome Networks
Nick has a diverse entrepreneurial background that includes experience in several different functions: finance, business development, operations and the last 22 years overseeing sales and marketing groups in the telecommunications industry.
Currently, Nick has been tasked with the challenge of expanding and growing the fiber assets of Strome Networks. Strome was created in August of 2016 from dark fiber assets that that were constructed in 2015 between Atlanta, GA and Miami, FL, an approximately 750-mile fiber network. In addition to selling existing capacity along this route, he is identifying opportunities that the large domestic and international carriers require, along with the large content players, cable providers and large enterprise users. Strome's ability to identify and then construct off its existing network gives the company a great platform for expanding its current base of customers, while further enhancing its current dark fiber network.
Until December 2012, Nick was VP of Business Solutions for Bright House Networks, the 6th largest cable operator in the U.S. Over the prior five years Mr. Lenoci was responsible for leading a senior group of communication and cable professionals, who grew the commercial revenue base to an annual revenue rate of over $280 million in 2012, up from $80 million in 2007. Much of this growth has occurred during a very tumultuous period in the communication industry and in a super competitive pricing environment. Much of the growth at Bright House was due to its rich dark fiber network in its territory. Nick helped the company understand that various enterprises, school districts and municipalities needed high-levels of fiber services and much of the commercial growth was due to its fiber assets. In addition, large business plans were developed to help the company expand its networks by building fiber to over 1,400 cell towers within Bright House's Florida territory. The sales to these carriers spearheaded great network expansion while becoming the largest customers for the commercial division.
Prior to joining Bright House Networks in November of 2007, Mr. Lenoci was Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Looking Glass Networks where he helped grow revenue from $-0- in 2001 to over $80M when it was sold to Level 3 Communications. Prior to that he was Regional Vice President of Sales and Operations for McLeod USA, where he lead a 500-person team.
Previously, Mr. Lenoci was the Chief Operating Officer at Ovation Communications before its acquisition by McLeod. He also spent several years at MFS Communications and subsequently WorldCom where he served in various capacities; including sales, operations, network implementation and finance.
Mr. Lenoci earned a Master degree of Business Administration and Finance from DePaul University. He received his undergraduate degree in Accounting from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.

Savinelli's Dry System series presents a selection of robust pieces in traditional, understated finishes. Sure to please those pipe smokers with a taste for classic shapes, but who prefer something more on par with the Italian school's neoclassically-proportioned numbers, along with the added practicality of a sturdy, nickel army mount.
Available in several distinct shapes, here we have the Savinelli "613", a deeply-bent Billiard favored by many for its tip-of-the-chin center of gravity and capacious chamber housed within.
Available in a dark rusticated texture, or the smooth red walnut stain seen here.

It is Bollywood media that is getting first hand information about "Saaho" than the local Telugu media.
Prabhas has recruited a big Bollywood PR company to handle all the promotion for his movies that include "Saaho" but they are not spilling out any news.
"Saaho" is being made in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam languages with the estimated budget of Rs 300 Cr. It is set for August 15 release.
As per the Bollywood norm, the movie's first song should be out two months before the release date. Still, the shoot has not been completed.
Gossip is that Prabhas is planning to reshoot some portions. So, when will he break pumpkin?
"Saaho" is directed by Sujith and produced by UV Creations. Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Schroff, Mandira Bedi and Neil Nithin Mukesh are playing key roles.

With correct setup, Google Voice can actually replace regular texting on your phone! See the dialog box that allows Voice to capture incoming text messages to your left.
One of the best things about Android is its tight integration with the Google Apps suite. The Gmail client, for example, is way ahead of its iOS counterpart with its ability to tag, filter, switch accounts, and do almost everything offered on the desktop version. Google Voice may be the most versatile of all Google Apps.
Google Voice gives you a new phone number (don't worry – you can also carry over your existing mobile number) and it is tied to your Google account. You can do all sorts of nifty things with this number. Such features include setting different voicemail greetings for different callers, forwarding the number to a separate line and having voicemails automatically transcribed to text so you can read them like regular messages (super convenient in meetings!). If you're moving to a new city or have poor cell reception in your workplace or home, consider signing up for a Google Voice number with a local area code – that way you can hang on to your original number, but also get the benefits of local calling rates and the ability to retrieve messages via text message.
A huge bonus is that with Google Voice, you can set it up to give you free texts, even if your current phone plan doesn't include texting. Your Google Voice number can both send and receive texts for free, and your Android phone will give you the option to use that Voice number as the default. Alternatively, you can also have it to forward texts as emails (you'll be able to respond to incoming texts by email, as well). As long as you keep the data portion of your phone plan, you can pretty safely drop the messaging part. Very intelligent integration here!
"Your Professionalism with this situation at the Zero hour is definitely a rarity. Your team's response was to take on a project that you had no prior knowledge of other than a customer was in a tight spot and needed assistance."

'Do I count myself as being successful? Yes, yes I do. To have a roof over my head, a loving family, several skills, career, job and potential to change someones life through my actions. That is what I might call the start of someone being successful!' Scott Welcomme
I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family- a proud husband to my gorgeous wife, Tanya, and doting father to our two beautiful girls Sofia and Anastasia.
Hi, I'm Scott. When people ask who I am and what I do; what my accomplishments in life have been so far- I am privileged to have been blessed with quite a few answers!
Songwriter Author Teacher Educator Senior Leader
Proud Parent Husband Son Brother
I often think to myself, if today was my last day on Planet Earth would I be proud of my life and the legacy left behind? I am proud to say that although I have had my fair share of a mix of ups and downs in my life so far- who hasn't?! I can safely say that at my current point in my life, yes, I would be proud of what I have accomplished and what I would leave behind.
I often reflect on a famous quote from Haim G. Ginott
" I've come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized."
As a teacher I have enormous responsibility! Over the years though, I have come to realise that this quote is relevant in all walks of life. It doesn't matter whether I am a Senior Leader in education, a teacher or I work in a supermarket. If I am working as a projectionist at a cinema, a barman at an Internationally renowned rugby ground serving superstars, and barman at different bars and clubs.
What if I were a waiter, or in a job babysitting, or a job assisting with security for worldwide famous celebrities. What about attending training courses, mixing in a room of global internet entrepreneurs and absorbing knowledge and ideas, not to mention hanging out with mates.
I have shared rooms and had conversations with people from all walks of life- from everyday, unsung hero through to top celebrities. The responsibility to be as good as I can be, and inspire others to do the same, is duplicate. Manners cost nothing, neither does a courteous nature, a positive attitude, determination and the passion to see others succeed- that is what keeps me going everyday. Well that, and the drive of my amazing family.

Automobile major Honda is all set to start its second car plant in India at Tapukara, Rajasthan. According to the sources, Honda plant will be operational from March and will manufacture the 'Mobilio', the Japanese carmaker's first MPV in India, which is expected to be launched in April-May, multiple sources told FE. After the launch of the new City sedan in January, the Mobilio will be the second new Honda model to hit Indian roads, followed by the new Jazz in the later part of 2014.
The Mobilio, a compact MPV under 4 metres and based on the Brio and Amaze platforms, will feature a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. With prices likely to start at R5-6 lakh, the company expects it to replicate the strong success of the Amaze, Honda's first model to be offered with a diesel engine in India — the Amaze sold 50,000 units in the first eight months of launch, becoming the fourth top-selling car in the country for a brief period.
"We expect to start production at the Tapukara plant in March, work is going on at a very fast pace," a Honda Cars India (HCIL) official said, while requesting anonymity.
A second industry source in the know added, "Honda aims to start production of the Mobilio in April and the launch is expected by June. The Jazz will then be launched by the end of the year. The Tapukara plant is expected to make both the Amaze and the Mobilio".
Responding to an email query, a Honda Cars spokesperson said, "We our aiming to start the assembly operations at HCIL's Tapukara plant in Rajasthan within the first half of 2014. We have not taken a decision on the models to be produced from that production line".
Honda's new Tapukara plant, where affiliate Honda Motorcycle & Scooter already operates a production unit, will almost double Honda's annual output to about 2.9 lakh units by adding over 1.2-lakh-unit capacity on a single line. Currently, Honda's Greater Noida plant can make almost 1.7 lakh units a year. the capacity was recently increased by 40% from the original 1.2 lakh units through improved production processes and line extension because of high demand for the Amaze sedan.

Sadly many Christians are every day and this is ongoing and their lives and families are being destroyed.
These Christians may really want to be serving God and Jesus and are very anti the devil and all his works.
One of the most gifted Christian writers with much insight in this sad business was Jesse Penn-Lewis.
You can google her on the internet.
He most famous and important work was and is "War on the Saints".
Many Christians over the years have dismissed her views and indeed for a while were translating her book without parts they disagreed with.
You can download the whole unabridged work from the internet.
I have included just a little bit below from the book on the dangers of passivity for the Christian.
This is not saying that people so deceived are not Christians but of course being set free from such deception can be prove to be a very liberating experience.
if you are not a Christian and reading this you would benefit from reading some basic tenets of the Gospel found in other places on this blog.eg there is a whole scanned booklet on Heaven and how to get there.
The text that such believers misinterpret is Phil. 2: 13, "It is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to work, for His good pleasure." The "passive" person reads it, ". . . God which worketh in me the willing, and the doing," i.e., "willeth instead of me."note 2 The first means God working in the soul up to the point of the action of the will, and the second assumes His actually "will"-ing instead of, and "working" instead of the believer. This wrong interpretation gives ground for not using the will, because of the conclusion "God wills instead of me"; thus bringing about passivity of will.
The believer whose "will" has become passive, finds, after a time, the greatest difficulty in making decisions of any kind, and he looks outside, and all around him for something to help him to decide the smallest matters. When he has become conscious of his passive condition, he has a painful sense of being unable to meet some of the situations of ordinary life. If spoken to, he knows he cannot will to listen till a sentence is completed; if asked to judge a matter, he knows he cannot do it; if he is required to "remember" or use his imagination, he knows he is unable to, and becomes terrified at any proposed course of action where these demands may come upon him. The tactics of the enemy now may be to drive him into situations where these demands may be made, and thus torture or embarrass him before others.Little does the believer know that in this condition be may, unknowingly, rely upon the assistance of evil spirits, who have brought about the passivity for this very object. The faculty unused lies dormant and dead in their grip, but if used it is an occasion for them to manifest themselves through it. They are too ready to "will" instead of the man, and they will put within his reach many "supernatural" props to help him in "decision," especially in the way of "texts" used apart from their context, and supernaturally given, which the believer, seeking so longingly to do the will of God, seizes upon, and firmly grasps as a drowning man a rope, blinded, by the apparently given Divine help, to the principle that Godnote 3 only works through the active volition of a man, and not for him in matters requiring his action.
Passivity does not change the nature of a faculty, but it hinders its normal operation. In the case of passivity hindering the memory, the person will be found looking outside himself for every possible "aid to memory," until he becomes a veritable slave to note book, and helps, which fail at a critical moment. With this is also passivity of the imagination, which places the imagination outside personal control, and at the mercy of evil spirits who flash to it what they please. One danger is to take these visions, and call them "imaginations." The passive state can be produced without crystal gazing,note 4 i.e., if a person gazes at any object for a prolonged period the natural vision is dulled, and the deceiving spirits can then present anything to the mind.
In pure inactivity of the mind, the mind can be used at the will of the person, but in evil passivity of the mind, the person is helpless, and he "can't think!" He feels as if his mind were bound, and held by an iron band, or by a weight or pressure on his head.

Builders have prided themselves on the lack of waste used in making the games' signature arena. It was partially built using surplus gas pipes, and soil excavated from the site was sanitized and reused elsewhere on the grounds. The venue is on the shortlist for the Stirling Prize, an award for the best British architecture given by the Royal Institute of British Architects. This is in sharp contrast to London's last big arena project, the Millennium Dome—now the O2 arena—which was roundly criticized when it was built.
The action might be going on around the track, but the roof of this venue deserves some attention. Its surface is made from steel cables strung like a tennis racket, which allows for better ventilation and lighting, plus uses fewer construction materials. The roof also collects rainwater recycled throughout the building.
Beijing's "Water Cube" was impressive, but London's swimming arena is not to be outdone—it has an undulating roof that looks as light as a water droplet but weighs about 3,000 tons.
The neon pink of the arena's pitch may look blinding to the eye, but it's actually easier to see the yellow ball against it. This is the first time that a color other than green has been used for the field.
Like the Aquatics Centre, the roof of the Water Polo Arena is its most distinguishing characteristic—and that's where the similarities end. This arena's roof is inflatable and only semi-permanent, wrapped in a silver membrane and insulated with PVC padding. When the Olympics are over, it can be taken down, and parts of it can either be recycled or reassembled in a different location.
"Copper Box" is an apt description for this 7,000-seat venue: The building's exterior features more than 32,000 square feet of (mostly recycled) copper covering.
BMX biking, which was introduced four years ago in Beijing, is one of the newest sports in the Olympics. London created its BMX track from soil that was excavated to build the other arenas in the Olympic Park. After the games, the course will be adjusted to accommodate riders of all skill levels—though the toughest obstacles will remain—and will be open for public use.
Though the Basketball Arena can seat 12,000 spectators, making it one of the largest and most-used in the games, the venue itself is entirely temporary. The steel frame is covered with a PVC fabric, and the whole thing will be entirely dismantled when the Olympics are over. New houses will be built in the space.
Built in**: 1433
This is by far the oldest venue in the Olympics, dating back to the 15th century when Henry V's youngest brother was granted a license to create the park. In addition to hosting the equestrian events in the Olympics, the park is home to the Royal Observatory, which sits on the Prime Meridian.

The Hampton Court Palace has long had a place in sports history. It's home to the country's oldest surviving tennis court, which was built in 1528 for a very special athlete: Henry VIII.
** **
Open to the public since:** 1637
Hyde Park was originally used as a private hunting ground for Henry VIII in 1536, and it wasn't until more than a century later that Charles I opened it up to the public. The Serpentine Lake, where the Olympic swimming events will take place, was built under the orders of Queen Caroline in the 1730s. Casual bathers still swim in the lake every summer, and the Serpentine Swimming Club hosts an infamous race there every Christmas.

Built in**: 1716
The Royal Artillery Barracks is owned by the Ministry of Defense, and it housed the Royal Artillery until July 2007. During the games, the temporary, ultra-modern-looking target ranges, made with bright PVC membranes, will stand in stark contrast with the 18th-century Georgian façade of the barracks.
Built in**:** **1745
For most of the year, the Whitehall façade of the Horse Guards Parade is where tourists would go to see the Queen's mounted sentries perform a changing-of-the-guard ceremony on horseback. (Once a year, it's also the location of the Trooping the Colour celebration for one of the Queen's two birthdays.) For the games, more than 5,000 tons of sands will be trucked in to transform the grounds into a court for beach volleyball.

Built in: 1814
The Marylebone Cricket Club has operated out of the Lord's Cricket Ground—dubbed the Home of Cricket—since it was built in 1814, and the standout feature of the grounds is its opulent, Victorian Pavilion and grandstands. The pavilion will be the backdrop for Olympic archers, who will shoot their arrows across the pitch.
Built in**: 1892
St. James' Park is one of the oldest soccer fields in England, but if you're a Newcastle United Fan, you're more likely to hear it referred to as (ugh) the Sports Direct Arena. When it hosts soccer games for the Olympics, they'll thankfully refer to the venue by its more historic name.

SC reserves verdict in judge Loya death case
The Supreme Court has reserved orders on a petition that sought a probe into the death of Judge Loya. The court reserved its verdict after hearing at length arguments advanced by all sides including the state of Maharashtra.
On the last date of hearing the Maharashtra government said that there was nothing but politics. There is nothing amiss in the death of Judge, B H Loya and there is only politics in it, the government also said.
The unfortunate death of the judge is being politicised and the petitions have been filed with an oblique motive, he also submitted. In the guise of judicial independence, they are shedding crocodile tears, it was also stated.
Further, it was submitted that the four judges who were present at the time of Loya's death on December 1, 2014, have already given hand-written statements as to how he died. The medical records clearly show that Loya could not be revived despite resuscitation and the post-mortem report states that he was brought dead on the way to the hospital, Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Maharashtra also said.
Senior counsel, Harish Salve told the court not to order a probe as it would indirectly mean that the four judges who were with Loya during his death are conspirators in a murder.
"Is entire system is dancing to the tune of one man? if that is so, we should wind up our judiciary. See the kind of scurrilous allegations put on display in last few weeks. Did the judges who accompanied judge Loya in his last hours, bump him off? Are they guilty of murder," Salve also asked.

About Us
Considered a true innovator in the world of desserts, Neelam Saini has been pushing the frontiers of the field since the early 2000. At a time when most of the Patissiers in India were busy curating bespoke innovations in international desserts & confectionaries like pastries, cupcakes, macaroons, cakes etc, Neelam Saini decided to carve her own niche by working exclusively on traditional Indian desserts and giving it a contemporary twist in terms of taste and presentation.
Neelam started her career at Trident, Chennai followed by The Oberoi Udaivilas, a 5-star luxury resort in Udaipur and then continued her stint in Oberoi New Delhi, an iconic luxury property in Central Delhi. A decade long association fueled her passion and creativity and molded her into a sharp and focused professional.
Having worked with major hotel and restaurant chains like The Leela Hotel in Chennai, Lalit Hotel in Kolkata, Specialty Restaurants, Massive Restaurants, Theobroma, Neelam comes with a strong background in culinary art, with understanding of textures, temperature & techniques of modern cooking. While making a dish, one needs to have an eye for detail (consistency while piping, delicacy while assembling) and Neelam has mastered the same over years.
Even before she stepped into the kitchen in a professional capacity, she had gone through rigorous on-ground training in some of the most fast paced, ambitious and innovative kitchens in the country. She was heading the Bengaluru outlet of Farzi café as Pastry chef.
The turning point in her career was a chance participation in Pastry queen India in 2015 where she was applauded for her exceptional menu which was influenced by Indian interpretation of western desserts.
This competition gave her a vision to explore her culinary prowess further and create a brand that would help her showcase her talent globally. Hence, Ornamental Mithai was founded.
Ornamental Mithai is a result of an inspiration and love derived out of the vivid flavours and craftsmanship that's present in every Indian mithai. Every single mithai is crafted as an ornament with the most superior quality of ingredient and packaged as if that is the last mithai on the planet to create a feeling luxury and royalty.
Our vision is to be the best and the most luxurious Indian confectioners across the globe through constant innovation and use of best quality ingredient.
Different forms of mithai, down the ages have been sumbolic of joy and happiness.
