- Overview
- Enquire
We really do believe that just being in the part of South Africa known as the Winelands will feel to you like something of a luxury in of itself.
In fact, we're also pretty certain that this will become apparent to you almost as soon you arrive in this region – whether you decide to locate yourself near Paarl, or Wellington, or Stellenbosch, or…well, just about anywhere, we'd reckon, in what we'd like to call a patch of paradise (and when you leave, which you'll finally have to begrudgingly do, we do think you'll be champing at the bit to describe the area in exactly the same way to all your friends).
The most wonderful wildlife (at Drakenstein Lion Park, for one), the most stunning scenery (such as that you'll encounter on the Dutoitskop Hiking Trail), and the opportunity to embark on some amazing adventures (you'll never forget exploring the cliffs and canyons of Elgin for instance)…all await you here, alongside of course the hundreds of vineyards for which the area is named (and we're fairly sure you'll enjoy sampling their delights too).
And it has to be said, the Winelands don't leave us much room for improvement – but it's also definitely the case that what little space is left will be filled by one of our luxury added packages. With one of these, we'll give you that feeling of really being a VIP visitor to the area, making sure that every moment you spend here is just as perfect as it can be. A priceless feeling – but one which can be yours for a cost which we think you may very much be surprised by.

New build homes are attractive to buyers across Scotland – from first-time buyers to families, to those looking for somewhere to spend their retirement. It's not the sort of purchase that you make regularly, so s1homes has put together this handy guide to help you through the process.
Why choose a new build home?
There are many advantages to choosing a new build home over an older property.
- Everything in the property is brand new. It should be in move in condition with no decorating and minimal DIY required
- You're unlikely to need to make any repairs within the first few years
- Energy efficiency and fire safety standards will be high
- You may be able to choose fixtures and fittings while the property is being built, or negotiate with the seller on some items
- New build homes come with a 10 year warranty (guarantee)
Where do I find new build homes?
New build property developers advertise on s1homes.com. There are over 1200 new homes all over Scotland from developers such as Ogilvie Homes, County Estates, Barratt Homes, Stuart Milne and many more.
Viewing new build homes
For developments that are already built, the process is similar to any other type of property. You will contact the seller and arrange a time to visit and be shown round. However, if the development is in progress, or still in the planning stages, you may visit a show home – a property already completed that is similar to the one you're interested in. There may be other people visiting at the same time and an appointment is not always necessary. You might also be able to see an artist's impression of how the property is expected to look. It's important to consider if building works will be continuing around you if you were to move in, or if there are further plans for the area surrounding the development you are interested in.
Buying a new build property
Some of the buying process is the same – you will need to work out what you can afford, arrange a mortgage and appoint a solicitor to make an offer. New builds are usually sold at fixed price, however, some new home developers offer incentives such as part exchange or a contribution towards your deposit. They may also participate in the Scottish Government's Help-to-Buy Scheme. Each developer has different offers so it's best to check what applies to the area or development that you're interested in.
New homes are often advertised during the planning and building phases so there are different options:
- Buy a completed new home
- Buy a home that is in the process of being built
- Buy a home that has been planned but has not yet been started. This is known as buying 'off plan'
Buying 'off plan'
Is where this purchase of a new build is particularly different from an older property. Because your property is not yet built you will need to get a completion date from the developer. If this is not written into your contract as a condition of the sale, there is the possibility that this may be delayed. Once contracts are agreed, a deposit will be paid and the agreement with the builder becomes legally binding. Your property will be inspected before completion to check that it meets the required standards and issue a note to your solicitor on satisfactory completion to allow mortgage funds to be released.
Inspections and snagging
It is a good idea to do a snagging inspection, or pay a professional company to carry this out for you. This is an inspection of the home and reports any flaws that the developer should fix. If you are doing this yourself make sure you have a checklist so you know what to look for and ideally carry it out before completion to allow time for repairs. It can still be done within the first two years of the warranty. There is more information at the NHBC website.

CNAM and Toll Free Numbers
Why doesn't my Toll Free number display the caller ID name I have requested and set up?
Applies To
- Toll Free numbers
- Account Manager
- Configuration Manager
- Virtual Contact Center
- Virtual Office
Toll Free numbers caller ID name is not handled the same way, industry-wide, as a non Toll Free number.
With a non-toll free number there is a tag(Destination Point Code) on the number so the receiving phone carrier knows which National CNAM database to pull the CNAM from.
Toll Free numbers do not have a tag (DPC), so the receiving phone carrier can only pull from their own internal database. Their own database may not have an entry for the number so all they can display is the number and words like "Toll Free Caller", or similar.
There is not a Single Central Repository for CNAM.

Is Spelt Gluten Free? Well, no, but…
often hear the question: "is written without gluten?" Although the answer to that question is "no", we have found that spells represents a reasonable for people with sensitivities grain alternative. According to CeliaAct Spelt does not cause sensitivity in many people who can not tolerate wheat .
There are many reasons for the differences in how to react spelled instead of wheat including appearance and structure of DNA, the genetic and nutritional profile, gluten content and makeup, and fiber content.
Although the FDA has classified spelled wheat, this pure, ancient grain is significantly different – and much better for you – your cousin marketed modern. Even wheat, which has not yet been stripped of their fiber and nutrients, is nutritionally inferior to escanda.
Although Spelt contains gluten, content and character of gluten in rye has not been modified from its natural state. Gluten in spelled has a different gluten wheat of modern molecular composition. It is more brittle and more water soluble, which makes it easier to digest.
Among many escanda benefits, spelled is more fiber than most forms of wheat, which helps in the digestion of gluten. Modern wheat has been bred to contain high gluten for high volume production of commercial baked goods. If you've ever tried baking with gluten-free flours they have undoubtedly noticed the beneficial aspects of gluten in terms of stability, yeast, and texture.
While gluten is present in writing, and therefore people with allergy severe gluten or sensitivities can not find writing to be a realistic replacement for wheat, for most people, including who they have mild sensitivities, spelled you could only meet with the pan occasionally, cereals or products that have been missing in the oven.

By Jonathan Wilkinson
Another year and another doping scandal in the Tour, oh wait, there wasn't, well not yet anyway. So now that is out of the way lets get down to the review of the Tour, one of the best in recent memory and also one of the closest, with just 39 seconds between 1st and 2nd:
The Chain that cost Schleck the Tour
That 39 seconds is most likely the most controversial 39 seconds in Tour history because it is the precise amount that Contador took off Schleck on stage 15, when he attacked Schleck as his chain came off. Now Contador claimed not to have known anything about this until it was too late and that he was going to attack anyway but the truth is Schleck was moving away from Contador, who had been slow to react so that was the lamest excuse by a Spaniard this year in sport, well until this weekend's GP.
Now some people out there might be thinking "so what?" but in cycling there is an unwritten rule that you don't attack someone if they have a mechanical fault or an accident, Tour history shows this time and time again. Lance Armstrong waiting for Ullrich or Mayo waiting for Armstrong. This was seen as not in the spirit of the sport and will overshadow his 3rd victory.
The Duel - Schleck v. Contador
Chain aside, this was one of the finest duels between two cyclists we have seen for decades. The highlight of this was the duel up the last mountain of the tour, Col du Tourmalet. When Schleck attacked, after his team had set him up on the final climb, only Contador could go with him, then we saw them proceed to ride up the mountain almost as one, with Schleck doing all he could to get rid of his rival but he just couldn't do it, then Contador launched an attack of his own, at first it looked like he would sail off into the distance but Schleck pulled him back. Contador did the decent thing and let Schleck take the stage, since he had done all the pace making.
Then we went to the last time trial, a formality for Contador, all the experts cried, after all he had wiped the floor with Schleck in the TT last year but Schleck had other ideas, at the first check point he was somehow 6 seconds up and within just 2 overall of yellow. This time it was Contador that reacted and increased his overall lead but if Schleck can carry on improving his TT skills, next year could be an all time classic.
Goodbye to the king of the Tour
This was Lance Armstrong, 7 times winner of the Tour between 1999-2005, last ever tour. Last year he managed 3rd but a series of bad luck, including a crash on this year's edition meant that was never likely. He had one effort at winning a stage but it was not to be, still he made it to Paris and we all said fair well to the guy who dominated this race for so long.
Hell of the North
This year there was a stage that was flat that lead to significant time gaps, the cobbles in the north. Riding cobbles is a specialist area, there is a huge skill in riding on them. Unfortunately it also saw the exit of Frank Schleck, who crashed out but that aside, I hope they bring them back for future tours, it really did add something to this tour.
The Greatest Ever?
Mark Cavendish, the British sprinter won 5 stages on this year's tour, to go with the 4 he won in 2008 and the incredible 6 he won last year. He has 15 Tour wins, which places him equal 12th in terms of all time stage wins. Above the likes of Zabel, McEwen and Cipollini, yet he is only 25. But it's not just his number of wins that has led to Chris Boardman to comment he is the greatest sprinter ever, because it is the manner of his victories, he wins by lengths not just inches, he wins with his world class lead out train but then when Renshaw was kicked off the Tour for headbutting, he went on to prove that he can do it on his own, (although credit has to go to his HTC team mates for their pursuit of breakways) Then on Sunday he stormed to the victory on the Champs-Élysées.
In my opinion he is the greatest British sports star we have at the moment, and if he carries on his form, he could be a contender for our greatest ever.

Latest Customer Q&A
Good "industrial" strength salt and pepper mill needed
Q Hi I am looking for a good 'industrial' strength salt and pepper mill (manual) as a birthday present for my husband. He is an avid cook. A large pestle and morar also. Any recommendations? Stephanie
A Hi Stephanie. Thanks for your email. I would go for the classic Peugeot Paris Pepper mill and Salt mill in 30cms. It is the out and out best seller for Peugeot for decades and used in restaurants and hotels. The matt finish is the most long lasting - the gloss finishes are really beautiful but will crack more easily if knocked over onto a hard surface. So for "industrial" use I would go for the Peugeot Paris Chocolate Mills or the Paris Natural Beechwood Mills . The 30cms are a size that does not require frequent refilling for an avid user.
If you want something more modern, how about the Peugeot Chatel Mills ? They are one of my favourite new Peugeot designs. I do not have any pestle and mortars, I'm afraid.
Hope this helps
Best wishes - Claire

A teenage boy is online in his bedroom. He's using instant messenger to communicate with someone. He thinks the person he's talking to is a girl called Cassy, but a shot of a grown man using instant messenger in a shadowy room suggests otherwise. The man tells the boy he wants to meet him in the park, and thinking it's Cassy, the boy agrees. The boy persuades two of his friends to come with him. He says he wants them to meet his new friend. They're a bit sceptical but finally agree to go to the park with him. They wait on a park bench.

Despite medicine's attempts to protect mothers from having Down's babies, the incidence of the condition is going up. It could either be because the tests usually amniocentesis or alpha fetoprotein are not detecting the condition or because the pare
The condition could be even more prevalent in Britain if a new law is passed. The Termination of Pregnancy (Restriction) Bill would make it illegal to terminate the pregnancy purely because Down's was detected.
In a new book*, the result of over 30 years' research into Down's children, the condition is perhaps not as daunting as medicine would have us believe. Psychologist Janet Carr has monitored a group of 54 Down's children since 1964 and found they did not suffer from ill health any more than a similar group of normal children. There was no significant excess of marital stress or breakdown in parents of Down's children, and there were no adverse effects on siblings.

When people think of domestic abuse, they tend to think of men being the perpetrators and women being the victims.
While this is often the case, male victims risk being overlooked and are faced with social stigmas when talking about their abuse, as reporters James Hockaday and Stephen Delahunty learned from professionals and victims from the area.
The names of the victims have been changed to protect their identity.
'Man up', 'grow a pair' – both phrases which are seen by many as innocuous.
But the reinforcement of such gender stereotypes could be stopping men who are being abused from speaking out about their problems.
Some people fixate on size differences and wonder how a man could possibly fall victim to abuse from their female partner, but the picture is not so straightforward.
"It's more than just physical; a lot of times people think it's just a punch," said Judith Banjoko, area manager for support charity Hestia, which became Slough Borough Council's domestic abuse service provider in April.
"You have financial abuse, you have sexual abuse, you have emotional abuse; there's different facets of abuse."
She said, between April and July, Hestia had nine cases of men reporting domestic abuse, compared to hundreds of women.
"I think part of that's to do with the stigma attached to it," she said. "Women tend to experience it more because of the dynamics of our society that we live in, the power and control. But it's equally heinous in my opinion if it happens to men."
Rani Bilkhu, founder of Slough-based human rights charity Jeena International, says male victims come from a myriad of backgrounds.
"For men we get probably about three referrals a week, it's quite a lot really. We don't advertise our services," she said.
She said many men are often not believed and says police officers have a tendency to take their complaints less seriously compared to women.
These sentiments were echoed by Joe, a former soldier who was repeatedly abused, physically and mentally, by his wife of six years.
He said this was fuelled mainly by alcohol, something which Rani says is common.
Joe said: "Whenever we would go out I was just waiting for something to happen. I just curled up in a ball and just let her do it, not that it was going to hurt me that much because she's not that big."
He said he reported the abuse to officers at Maidenhead Police Station and said their response was 'blasé'.
"He said 'You're a bloke, you haven't got much chance'. I was gobsmacked, I just felt so small."
The veteran, who has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, says he did not fight back because he would be painted as 'the big villain' if he did.
Joe ended his 10-year relationship a year ago.
Haj Azim, an independent domestic violence advocate, and Naz Mukhtar, team manager Harrow, Ealing and Slough.
Rob, a police officer, said his wife was arrested in September last year after an attack where he was punched and kicked – but says for the most part, his abuse was mental.
"It would be things like trying to wake me up in the night and calling me names," he said.
"She liked to drink and, when she did, I knew I would be in for bad time.
"She would try and control what I watched and wouldn't let me watch the football and stuff, just controlling really."
He added: "There absolutely needs to be more awareness around male domestic abuse.
"Blokes tend not to report it – in my experience as an officer, females wait about 27 times before reporting it."
Rani Bilkhu, of Jeena International, with Pav Hayre, Mins Bal, Jyoti Kataia, and Tony Singh Shergill of Cameron Clarke Lawyers
Immigration often plays a central role in domestic abuse victims from overseas, says Tony Singh Shergill, from the Slough office of Cameron Clarke Lawyers.
He says under the Destitution Domestic Violence concession, people overseas who claim they are victims of domestic violence can apply for indefinite leave to remain in the country without having to pay Home Office administration fees and can claim benefits for up to three months while their applications are considered.
The downside of this, says Tony, is that some police officers instinctively become suspicious that people claiming victimhood are looking for a way to secure their immigration status.
He recommended that victims applying for the concession go through charities or immigration lawyers who know how the system works.
Tony says men he has worked with from the Indian subcontinent who come to the country for marriages often face threats against their family if they speak out about their abuse.
He said one of his clients had money taken from him by his wife's family members, who told him what he could and could not do and forbade him to register with a doctor.
"I think, when he was working, the money he got paid, they would keep, it was definitely modern day slavery," he said.
Rani says that men from Pakistan often regard police officers as corrupt and untrustworthy and bring that perception to Britain, which is re-enforced by their abusive family members.
Family members often claim to have connections in the Home Office, police or other establishments to stop victims from speaking out, says Tony.
Rani and Tony say this abuse, which spans beyond the home, is carried out by multiple family members and is connected to upholding family reputation, could be classed as honour-based.
They say police have been prone to dismissing the notion that men can fall victim to honour-based abuse in cases they have worked on.
Faisal came to Slough and received help from Jeena International in June after leaving his wife in Halifax.
It started off with verbal and psychological abuse, but his wife went on to physically abuse him, punching and kicking him, throwing plates at him and hitting him with a table.
He said his wife was well connected in Pakistan and threatened to get people to hurt his family if he spoke out. Her stepson followed him whenever he went out alone, he said.
While most men are conscious of societal expectations to been seen as tough or self-reliant, Faisal says admitting abuse as a man is especially 'embarrassing' in Asian cultures – something both Tony and Rani agreed with.
Faisal became depressed but has since opened up about his problems following talking therapies.
"I would just say, don't feel embarrassed. You have to talk about this, otherwise no one will help you," he said.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said the press team cannot comment on general police attitudes.

The universe is becoming a small place with globalization. The world consists of people speaking different languages; therefore, they are not in a position to understand each other. It is paramount for people to find a solution in order to communicate and understand one another. There are various reasons that can guarantee people to travel to foreign countries, this includes education, business or medical attention. A translator is required to translate the language if at all there is a language barrier. Lack of shared knowledge is one of the significant issues that have disabled international relation globally. Introduction of translators has brought a lot of relieve to people. The definition of translation is changing information from the original language to another language and still maintaining the original meaning of the data.
There are three characteristics that a translator should have. The first one is that the translator should be able to speak and understand the language of the source of information.
To get these translators we have to seek for the help of translation agencies. A translation company does the transaction that one requires. various elements should be carefully contemplated to get a company that meets all your requirements. The company should be accurate in its translation. The text should maintain its initial meaning. Altering the information causes the information to be received wrongly which is very risky. You should also investigate the duration on which the agency has been in operation. Along with the linguistic proficiency of the translator expertise is relevant when one is translating information. People that have been translating for a long duration of time are more likely to produce a very quality translation.
Only companies that are specialized with your language should be hired. There are uncountable linguistic groups globally, thus it is pretty impossible to find a company that offers translation for all the languages. A company that specializes in few languages is more likely to be almost perfect with the their work. Translators have enhanced international relationships among people in the world. Development has majorly been enhanced by contact. If at all people never had a common understanding the world would still be behind economically. Translation is not only meant when changing information from one language to another. There is also another translation that entails transcribing from audio to text or vice versa. These can be done by typing as the audio is running. This method is very difficult since the writer must have a very high rate in typing. Nowadays people are using software when transcribing. There are software that can easily do the work for you.
3 Options Tips from Someone With Experience

Cities in developing countries, such as Mexico City, are often at the center of accelerated, disorganized urbanisation. People living within such cities are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and depend upon city governments treating the issue with a necessary degree of urgency. Accounting for future changes can pose a challenge to climate action planning, and the city has focused resources on monitoring systems which can track the programme's progress and identify indicators of vulnerability.
The plan extends beyond the current mayor's tenure, so the programme must have mechanisms in place to ensure that the transfer from one administration to another doesn't jeopardize the plan. While this certainly poses a challenge, this kind of long-term planning ensures that the programme will enact lasting change while remaining adaptable.
The programme projects that the city will have mitigated 10 million tonnes of CO2e by 2020. More than 65% of the plan's 2018 goal has already been successfully achieved, including the mitigation of 4.81 million tonnes of CO2e since 2014. More broadly, as of April 2017, 23% of the programme's actions have been completed, with 43% more than halfway completed, 29% less than halfway completed and only 5% not started.
Initiatives under the programme have been supported by the first green bond issued to Mexico City in 2016, totaling $50 million USD. The Ministry of the Environment has also developed a unique financing scheme called the Environmental Climate Change Fund which finances exclusively projects relating to climate change. This approach creates institutionalized resources for climate action initiatives in the future and serves as an example for other cities pursuing similar projects.
The co-benefits associated with the plan include massive health benefits which come as a result of increased walking and biking –– as of right now, more than 230,000 people use the city's bike share program.
By recognizing that climate change is a long-term, intensifying threat, the PACCM has been developed with a forward-thinking framework that emphasizes resiliency. The plan has also been developed with the recognition that climate change has a disproportionate impact on women, utilizing a built-in indicator system which ultimately seeks to reduce the gender gap caused by the effects of climate change and produce statistical information regarding the impacts of climate change by gender and age. This system, along with a unique financing scheme and an online monitoring system which tracks overall progress, has made the team able to identify priorities and advocate for the 5.6 million people mostvulnerable to extreme weather events. Looking into the future, Mexico City plans to draft a water consumption reduction plan to be implemented throughout 2017.

Rubio follows Trump down an undignified road
If you've been to one of Marco Rubio's campaign events over the last few months, congratulations, you've seen every Rubio campaign event. The Florida senator has a carefully scripted stump speech, which he repeats with extraordinary precision, complete with requisite pauses and facial expressions, which are delivered the exact same way every single time.
But not this morning. As the Washington Post reported, at a Dallas event, the Florida senator tried out some new material.
[Rubio] speculated, in front of 500-odd primary voters, that the Republican front-runner might have lost control of his bladder at Thursday night's debate."He called me Mr. Meltdown," said Rubio, deriding the botched spelling of Trump's post-debate tweets. "Let me tell you, during one of the breaks – two of the breaks – he went backstage. He was having a meltdown. First he had this little makeup thing, applying makeup around his mustache, because he had one of those sweat mustaches. Then he asked for a full-length mirror. I don't know why, because the podium goes up to here. Maybe he was making sure his pants weren't wet. I don't know."
Yes, at a campaign rally this morning, Marco Rubio decided to tell a pee joke. Because nothing says "presidential" like joking about the possibility of a rival urinating on himself.
The Republican Party's favored presidential candidate, the senator adored by the media and pundits, has apparently decided if he can't beat Donald Trump, maybe it's time for Marco Rubio to become Donald Trump – right down to jokes about his foe sweating.
This isn't the first time. While Rubio tried sunny optimism for much of 2015, in 2016, down in the polls, the senator switched gears and started telling voters the United States is "in decline"; the American dream "is dying"; and, "I don't recognize my own country."
The Atlantic's Peter Beinart wrote last month that "the junior senator from Florida sold his soul … for a shot at winning over the supporters of Donald Trump." Whereas Rubio used to reject Trump's approach, now the senator "piggybacks on it."
But this month, Rubio isn't just echoing dour assessments of the country, he's begun abandoning dignity, too. As the race for the Republican nomination took shape, who was prepared to guess that Rubio would resort to urination jokes a few days before Super Tuesday?
Who knows, maybe this will work wonders. Perhaps there are GOP primary voters who weren't sold on Rubio, but who will find his new cheap, buffoonish rhetoric charming. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
But it's worth appreciating the degree to which this reinforces Trump's dominance. In less than a year, the Republican frontrunner has managed to persuade his national GOP rivals to adopt his issue positions, echo his rhetoric, and even abandon their own sense of class.
I don't know if Trump will be the Republican nominee, but I do know that in many respects, he's already won.

Sage PLC (LON:SGE) was under pressure on Friday after Swiss investment bank UBS took another dim view of the UK software giant ahead of its trading update next week.
Analysts downgraded the FTSE 100 company, which helps businesses manage things such as money and people, to 'sell' as they slashed their price target once again to 520p (from 590p).
READ: UBS slashes target Sage
The investment bank, which only last cut its target at the end of November, said strategic questions and competitive pressures remain.
"The shares are up 17% from their Q4 lows, and while many others in the sector have seen a similar bounce, none other has seen a double-digit EPS downgrade during the period," read a note to clients.
"While management uncertainty is now addressed, neither the CEO nor CFO brings the "cloud-native experience" sought at the time of Stephen Kelly's departure."
Analysts also took issue with Sage's planned R&D spend of £250mln, which they said "pales in comparison" to some of its peers such as US rival Intuit.
What to look for next week
As for next Thursday's first-quarter update, UBS reckons Sages faces "relatively easy comparatives" from last year.
"Recurring revenues exited 2018 with 7.2% growth in Q4 and was 7.0% in Q1 last year, so the comparative is not too hard, although [software-related services] was decent at +4% in Q1 last year.
"With no expected update on profitability, investors are likely to look at commentary around the performance of the UK and France – two key markets where macro risks are heightened and execution has been volatile in recent quarters."
Sage shares were down 2.4% to 606p in late-morning trading on Friday.

My warlock ran through LFR first wing and got the T14 leggings as well as Mosswrought Shoulderguards. With that, his iLevel rose to 377 now. I'm also equally excited about the way his gears look. Unfortunately, his chest is still a level 378 dungeon drop, which destroys the way everything looks. But once he gets T14 chest or enough valor points to buy the valor version, he will look like this.
On the other news, new rounds of vanity glyphs are published here. I'm excited about some of them especially hunter glyph: fetch. But I'm not sure if giving monks a flight form similar to druids is a good idea.

The 5 Things Dewar's Gabe Cardarella Can't Live Without
As the national brand ambassador for Dewar's — criss-crossing the globe to preach the gospel of one of America's most popular Scotch whiskies — Gabe Cardarella has what many of us might consider the dream job. But it also means he's on the road for over half the year. With that in mind, we caught up with him to find out what he relies on to keep him going both on the clock and off.
GEAR:Wilson Watch WorksMarine Watch - $395
Known for their handmade pilot, classic diver, and chronographs, each piece from this fairly new brand is built in Wilson, North Carolina, from a variety of Swiss and German-made components. This simple and classic piece is the quintessential everyday wrist staple.
CARDARELLA: Whether it's whisky or watches, I appreciate a product more if the person making it takes the time to do it right. Understated and classy; I love this watch.
TECH:iSoundPortable Power Max Battery - $66
These days, there are fewer things more terrifying than a dead phone or tablet battery. This pocket-sized charge rocket boasts five USB ports and when fully juiced can provide a whopping 480 hours of power.
CARDARELLA: I travel a little over 30 weeks a year. It's always a challenge to keep the cell phone, Bluetooth, iPad, etc. charged. What I like about this is there is no more searching for a spare outlet at the airport while I am waiting for connecting flights. I've even made a few friends along the way, offering them a quick pre-flight boost.
RIDES:1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am - $Varies
Built around the time pony cars were seeing their second big heyday, and only slightly different from the special editions used in Smokey and the Bandit, few things are more invigorating than whipping around town on a summer day in one of these.
CARDARELLA: It's difficult to describe how it feels to actually be driving my favorite Hot Wheels car from my youth, but now that I own one, it feels exactly how I imagined it would: badass.
HOME:Project Debut Carbon Turntable - $399
An audiophile favorite, this was Debut's, uh, debut turntable. It came out in the late nineties, the first time an analog music device re-emerged at a reasonable price point once CDs became the go-to.
CARDARELLA: Dad put it best: "Vinyl is final." A glass of Dewar's 18 and a great record is the perfect way to unwind after a long week of travel. I can't get enough of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks - Live at The Hollywood Bowl or anything by Numero Group.
VICE:Dewar's Scotch Whisky - $27+
There's a reason theirs is one of the top ten selling whiskies in the world. Plus, the man literally drinks it for a living, so trust him.
CARDARELLA: Whether it's a complex blend like Dewar's Signature or a Single Malt from one of our Malt Distilleries, each whisky is beautifully unique in its own way. But what makes a good whisky a great one is when you're enjoying it in the company of others. A whisky is most memorable when sharing it with great people. Slainte!

Stray / Lost / Found Animals
In Georgia animals are considered property, there for any animal that is found stray or abandoned should be turned over to Animal Services in order to allow the owners a place to claim them. The same can be said if you have a lost pet, it gives you a place to go to to report your pet missing in case they pick up an animal with your pets description. Do some animals get euthanized there? Yes they do, but unfortunately there are more animals than there are homes available. The good thing is they are humanely euthanized, they aren't suffering starving to death alone in the cold.I will say this, until you have rescued an animal that died hours after you rescued it due to starvation or rescued animals from an area where they don't have animal services can you appreciate the role and services they provide for the community. Do some animal shelters have room for improvement? Of course they do and so do the irresponsible pet owners of our community that contribute to euthanasia rate.
We love and want to help all animals or we wouldn't dedicate our lives to saving them. However, we are a non profit rescue that is funded by donations from the public and a lot of times our own pockets. Aside from the financial responsibility, we must also have the space and people to care for each of the animals physical and mental needs that we take into our rescue. All of our operations from advertising and emails to daily care and vet appointments are run by volunteers. We have approximately a hand full of active volunteers who also have full time jobs and families that consume their schedules as well.Our rescue was started by 3 people who wanted to make a difference. Please don't trash rescue groups because they can't clean up all of the mess humans have caused. Do something, be a part of the solution not the problem. Donate, volunteer, foster, adopt, network, or start your own rescue but don't speak negatively about those that sacrifice their lives to make a difference in the life of that one animal they could help.We can however point you in the right direction on what steps to take.

Praise Conquers
Contributed by Nnaemeka Durueke on Jun 23, 2016 (message contributor)
Summary: PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL WEAPON FOR VICTORS. USE IT
MAIN TEXT: PSALMS 8:2 "Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies to silence the foe and the avenger.
PSALMS 22:3 "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel.
The children of Israel in their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land always needed God's presence. Be it in their times of fear, worry and confusion facing the red sea, or in their times of hunger or thirst or even in battles and wars against their enemies. It was God's presence with them that divided their red sea, made manna fall from heaven and brought forth water from the rocks for them. It was God's presence that gave them victories over all their enemies. It is only by God's presence that we can win all the battles of life that stare us in the face everyday; battles in our families, work and business places, schools, health, finance and in all areas of our lives.
The one sure way of bringing down and carrying God's presence at all times to our battle fields is through praises offered from a holy life. When we live holy lives and fill our lives with praises, we fill our lives with God's presence which is greater and higher than all the battles and challenges of our lives. We fill our lives with God's presence that is full of love, life, peace, healing, prosperity etc.
God uses the weak things of the world to confound the strong, and the foolish things, the wise. With the ordinary stone of David, Goliath's head was brought down. The same is of praise. It looks foolish and stupid going to a battle field with musical instrument to sing and dance instead of going with ammunitions. But God's ways are far higher than our ways and so also His thoughts. If He commands us to be foolish and stupid, then He will also gain glory on our behalf even through our foolishness and stupidity. If only we can let go of our human thinking, our fear, doubt and unbelief and trust God absolutely by taking up this foolish yet powerful weapon of praise through faith, then God will surely show up and fight all our battles giving us victory like He gave to Jehoshaphat. He will break the chains, grip and powers of darkness over our lives and set us free like He did for Paul and Silas in prison.
God ordained praise as a stronghold against His / your enemies, to silence them. But this weapon of praise has to be in use for us to achieve the desired result. Do you want your enemies silenced, do you want God to go before you, fight all your battles and make you a victor, then lay down your garment of complain, worry, fear, doubt and unbelief.

text: The Author of this websiteKen Otter - who came to Tallington in 2002 while researching his family tree and ended up staying here when he found it was his ancestral home!A Richard Otter first moved to Tallington from Langtoft between 1640 and 1660 i.e. about 360 years ago. The first Otter birth was registered in 1685 but some records had been destroyed in the Civil War.The main family business for many years was The Forge on Main Road, Tallington but Ken's great-grandfather's family lived in Wally & Anne Knox's old house, The Chestnuts, and were wheelwright's and cowkeepers. Their grandparents were the blacksmith's at The Forge for many years, before they retired to Otter's Lodge on Barholm Road, where the grandchildren stayed regularly according to the census returns of the 1800's.Ken's great-grandfather worked on the widening of the GNR railway as a Foreman Platelayer. Unfortunately, he was killed when hit by the Harrogate Express on the 3rd September 1903 near Helpston. Ken's grandfather, Reginald, later signed up (under-aged) for the first World War by falsifying his first name, age and place of birth! It was only after a lot of research that Ken found his true first name ( Ringland ) and where his family really came from; Tallington - not London as he had said!An Otter is now back in the village - to continue the good work his forebears did; from blacksmiths to wheelwrights, farmers to church wardens - they did their bit for the community. Reconstituting and being chair of the Heron Trust in 1821 must have been a proud moment for the Otter family then, as well as signing as witness to nearly 60 consecutive weddings at the church, over a long period of service to the village. Ken is proud to walk in their footsteps, and intends to do as much for the village as possible; meanwhile, he tends 20 of his family graves in the graveyard; as well as all of the others!

Porsche 911 RSR Oil System > Racing Oil Filter Assembly
Racing Oil Filter Assembly
The Racing Oil Filter Assembly is EB's most complex part to date, with development encompassing 3D scanning, solid modelling and rapid prototyping. Careful machining of the detailed castings leads to a breathtaking showcase of EB Motorsport's technical ability.
As with the original part, the main filter housing and cap are chromate-coated cast magnesium. All original manufacturing details have been faithfully reproduced: from the cork gaskets to the spring rates of the pressure relief valves. Each assembly has been pressure tested, with the pressure relief valve set to a nominal 100psi.
The only items that we haven't had to reproduce are the nuts and washers, one ball bearing and the 'grenade filter' assembles: these were manufactured by the original supplier and took over three months to reproduce. The rest is completely produced by EB Motorsport: all EB Motorsport parts come from Yorkshire.
Our price: £2,880.00

Switch Account
Hello, so I recently kinda replaced my fios gateway router with a Unifi USG, I have a cable running from my switch to my old fios gateway router's lan port in order to get wifi to a fios tv one mini downstairs, then from another lan port that goes out of the gateway I have a cable running to a gocoax moca 2.5 adapter in order to get ethernet to the basement & to my other fios tv one & fios tv one minis. However for some reason my main fios tv one box isn't getting any internet and my other fios tv one minis arent working cause they cannot detect the fios tv one box. The main fios tv one box is popping up in my Unifi panel but it isn't assigning a ip to it & I do not see the main fios tv one box on the gateway router when I go to my network. Any idea how to fix this?
(The fios gateway has dhcp disabled and is on a different ip address then the main router)

I seem to have fixed it by setting the coax freq on the adapter to 1150 which is what the settop boxes use.
It seems to be something with the moca 2.5 adapter, if I just plug in the coax cable to the fios gateway it works but when I plug it into the adapter the fios tv box acts like there is no internet when there is internet as I am picking up internet with the other adapter downstairs, any ideas what to do as the moca from the gateway router doesn't give gigabit?
Is the TV Out port on the MoCA adapter going to the TV One box. The port doesn't pass MoCA. If so you will need a two port splitter. One out the the TV One box and the other out to the MoCA adapter.
I seem to have fixed it by setting the coax freq on the adapter to 1150 which is what the settop boxes use.

Parents want to protect their kids from danger and threats; however, in an increasingly digital world this task has become increasingly challenging. The Internet is inherently easily accessible. With the ease of a click or a search, kids of all ages have access to inappropriate websites and videos available on the Internet. In 2019, kids as young as four years old are venturing into this unprotected cyberspace; cyber monitoring is a necessity for parents looking to protect their kids from inappropriate content. Keylogger software is a great tool for monitoring your kids online activity.
What is Keylogger Software?
Keylogger software, also commonly referred to as spyware, acts as a surveillance system on computers. The software is used to collect information from a computer and ideally view this information from a remote location. Once installed, keylogger software records every click, download, and conversation performed on a computer.
Keylogger software records Internet behavior in a concealed manner. The user of a computer from which the software is installed should not know their strokes are being tracked and recorded. This software is a great option for parents wanting to monitor and track their kid's online activity.
Key Features to Look For in Keylogger Software
Making sure you are choosing the keylogger software that offers the best features is important to ensure you are successfully able to track information without the user knowing. Two of the important features in keylogger software are invisibility and remote access to recorded information.
Ideally, you want to be able to view recorded keystrokes from a remote location. Without remote access, you would have to go on to the user's computer every time you wanted to view the tracked information. Remote access to keystrokes is a key feature to look for in keylogger software.
In order to work effectively, keylogger software needs to be invisible. User's shouldn't be able to see the software on their device. If a user realizes keylogger software is running on their computer, your disguise will be revealed and most likely cause problems.
Finding the Best Keylogger Software
Finding keylogger software that is high quality and has all the features you want can be a challenge. If you have a windows computer, you should try pcTattletale's keylogger software. PC Tattle Tale has the best keylogger software for Windows; their software offers a variety of features and a free trial.
Advantages of pcTattletale Keylogger Software
Keylogger software works by tracking keyboard presses. Most parents utilizing this software are interested in obtaining their children's passwords to social media sights. This can pose a problem in the current world of browsers that remember passwords, as this allows users to log into websites without using their keyboards. In addition to recording keystrokes, pcTattletale's keylogger software makes videos of computer activity. This feature allows parents to see keystrokes as well as what their kids are doing when they are not typing.
pcTattletale allows parents to view recorded keystrokes from a remote location. This means parents don't have to suspiciously ask for their kid's computers. You can log into pcTattletale's website and view all activity and keystrokes of your kids.
Additionally, the software is compatible with Androids and iPhones. This means you can use the keylogging software to track your kid's activity on their smartphones. With access to all devices, pcTattletale's keylogger software provides the most thorough report of your kid's cyber activity.
You can give pcTattletale's keylogger software a try for free. The company offers a free trial, giving parents the opportunity to see if they like the software's features before committing.
The Internet poses a series of dangers for children; kids are able to easily access inappropriate content. Keylogger software is a great tool for protecting and monitoring your kid's cyber life.

The basic premise of a house cleansing is very simple. When there is an unwanted spiritual presence or curse on a home, office, church, piece of land or other place it needs to be removed. A spiritual house cleansing, when done correctly, breaks curses and removes demonic beings. It also dedicates the place or thing to the Lord and invites His blessings and presence to dwell there.
Because Spiritual House Cleansing is not a commonly taught subject it is important to know five biblical principles before you start. Understanding these will affect how serious you take the spiritual house cleansing and will impact how effective you are. These five principles apply even more to us as individual believers than they do physical structures because we are the house or dwelling place of the Lord.
1. Spiritual Warfare. Demonic spirits desire to enter, disrupt, cause confusion, inhabit and multiply in people as well as places. They do this when there is a legal right given to them. A legal right is simply a way of saying that a person has authorized the demon to operate in their lives. A good example of this is Eph. 4:27 "and do not give the devil an opportunity." The King James uses the word "place" instead of opportunity. The Greek word used here is "topos" Strong's # 5117. It has several meanings, but they all have the idea of a place, spot or room. Metaphorically it can mean a "license."
People can give a legal right for a demonic spirit to invade or torment them, their homes, offices or other areas of their life. Christians should be careful not to believe they are exempt from sin in their lives giving a legal right.
2. The Authority of Believers. When the seventy disciples returned they commented "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name" and Jesus replied "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven" (Luke 10:17b – 20 NASB).
It is clear that believers have authority over demonic spirits and over all the work of the enemy. We also have power when baptized in the Holy Spirit as Acts 1:4-8. However, we would be wise to follow the instructions that Jesus gave to the seventy and guard ourselves so that we don't become prideful or focus on the wrong things.
Outside of Jesus there is no real authority to cast out demonic spirits. The seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, found this out the hard way. The demonic spirits overpowered them to the point that they left naked and injured (Acts 19:14-17). Make sure that you are in Christ before you confront the enemy.
3. Cleansing. The Old Testament has many examples of cleansing, but in this context the Tabernacle and Temple being cleansed stands out. In 2 Chronicles 29:3 King Hezekiah "…he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them" and then in verse 15 we read "and they assembled their brothers, consecrated themselves, and went in to cleanse the house of the Lord…"
After Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead there was a significant change. God no longer dwells in a building constructed by man. He now dwells in us when we repent of our sin and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. As the dwelling place of God we should be far more concerned with cleansing ourselves than a building (2 Corinthians 7:1). However, this doesn't mean that we should neglect our physical houses, churches and other dwelling places. The Lord dwells in us and we dwell in them. They should be clean of anything that will defile, tempt, open spiritual doors and grieve the Holy Spirit.
When performing a spiritual house cleansing you must make sure the place is free of anything that creates a legal right. This may be a sin by the occupants that needs to be renounced and repented of or it may be physical things. There are obvious things such as pornography, drugs or idols and there are things that are much more accepted in western Christianity such as Harry Potter books, Vampire books and movies, dream catchers and other items that open spiritual doors.
4. Dedication and anointing. It was a common practice throughout the Bible to dedicate and anoint both people and things unto the Lord. Anointing and dedicating is simply a way to set a person or thing aside for God and His service (Gen. 28:18; 1 Kings 1:16; Ex. 28:41, 29:7; Lev. 8:12-30).
5. God's presence. Anytime a demonic spirit is kicked out of a person or place it is critical that it be filled with the presence of the Lord. "When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself and they go in and live there…" (Luke 11:24-25).
A spiritual house cleansing is a great opportunity to examine not only the places that we dwell in, but an effective reminder that we need to keep ourselves clean and dedicated to the Lord Jesus. Part three of this series is the practical how to. Don't miss it!

In CSD mode, how long does it take to scan a sensor in one cycle?
The following equation can be used for calculating the scan time:
T = Time of scan a sensor in one cycle
HFCLK = High-speed clock of PSoC device
Moddivider = modulator divider
Therefore, when the modulator divider, scan resolution, or both are changed, the scan time will be changed accordingly.
For more information about the CSD theory, see the PSoC4 and PSoC Analog Coprocessor CapSense Design Guide.

Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from plants with extraordinary therapeutic properties. The process of using essential oils for therapeutic purposes is called aromatherapy, an effective method that uses the natural, aromatic and volatile molecules of certain plants. These natural volatile aromatic compounds are found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of the plant. Freeways essential oils have great properties both in their simple state and in combinations. After multiple studies and tests, we have created both simple essential oils that offer extraordinary benefits and complex formulations made up of 5 essential oils that act together to ensure the health of the body. Freeways essential oils belong to the super premium products category, due to their innovative formulations, raw material quality and production processes.
Three special technologies are used in the production process:
1. Cold-pressing and hydrodistillation (without hexane, solvents or alcohol)
Cold pressing is an effective method of non-invasive extraction of plant essences, avoiding the oxidative process. Using a specially designed press, in optimal temperature conditions, this extraction ensures the keeping of the properties and efficiency that essential oils hold.
Hydrodistillation consists in extracting essential oils with steam. Thus, the pre-soaked plant material is heated, and the volatile materials are transported by steam, which is then condensed and separated.
These processes do not involve the use of chemical substances, thus guaranteeing the preservation of all the extraordinary plants properties.
2. Checking the oils purity by sensitive crystallisation
This is a method of determining the vitality of the living matter, and its application in the context of essential oils is extremely difficult given their specific power. This technology allows a quantification of the potency and quality of essential oils, based on the description of the interaction with the living matter, the information power and even the degree of naturalness they hold. Based on this process, there are highlights and very subtle and special details of the oils.
3. Alchemical activation with gold
Another technology we use is called alchemical activation and it is a modern procedure that aims to imprint products in an energetic manner. For the range of Freeways essential oils, we have chosen to make this activation with gold. The process is accomplished by simultaneously exposing the mixture of oils and gold through a vortex motion. All this happens in the essential oil or the mixture of essential oils subjected to "structuring". The method is specific to the Ayurveda medical system, being used for thousands of years. Originally, it was meant for the information-energy impringing of water, usually using gold, silver or copper.
Drive Safe Essential Oil is a blend of 5 essential oils: basil, mint, lavender, St. John's Grail and calamus, to help you become more alert when driving. It has effects both to stimulate concentration and to mitigate a potential tendency to irritability or nervousness that may arise due to traffic conditions. It also helps in a harmonious dynamism of digestion, avoiding any nausea or abdominal discomfort.
Basil is very effective in improving vigilance, attention and concentration. Due to its neuroregulatory properties, it has the ability to combat mild nerve disorders, stress and restless states. It is also recommended to eliminate fatigue and improve concentration.
Mint is a natural medicine used since ancient times containing many minerals and nutrients, such as iron, magnesium, folic acid, potassium and manganese. The uses of essential mint oil are diverse, with a strong refreshing, antispasmodic and decongestant effect. Mint improves the digestion process, removes nausea and headaches, helps muscle relaxation and has antidiastatic effect. Also, mental effects also affect the mental sphere, it stimulates concentration, relieves stress and exhaustion.
Lavender works in two directions, both for the mind and the concentration. It improves alertness and attention, provides a state of energy and resistance. Lavada has an antispastic effect, reduces axiality and irritability, being calming.
St. John's Grass is an aromatic, beautiful fragrant plant that is renowned for its soothing effect on the nervous system. It eliminates irritability, palpitations, headaches, stress and anxious states. It also helps to eliminate digestive disorders, especially those that occur on a background of fatigue and stress. It is a nervous and digestive tonic and a good decongestant of the respiratory system.
Calamus is used to combat abdominal discomfort, spasms and nausea, it regulates the functions of the digestive system. It is also a powerful tonic and stimulant of attention and memory.
Direct inhalation
If you can not use a diffuser for essential oils, aromatherapy can be done with your own body. Just pour 3-4 drops of oil into your hands, breathe in, and then enjoy the extraordinary effects of essential oils.
Topical application
Due to the solubility of essential oils in fat, they are effectively absorbed by the skin. Topical application is a simple method of using essential oils, but this should be done with caution. It is preferable to combine with base oil such as olive oil before application, thus avoiding possible irritation or skin damage caused by the high concentration of essential oils.
Aromatic bath
Adding essential oils to the bath tub is an extremely pleasant and relaxing way to enjoy the therapeutic effects of oils. Pour a few drops of oil directly into the bathtub or to increase efficiency using a salt base beforehand.
Another way to administrate essential oils is ingestion. This can be done by adding 3 drops of oil max 3 times a day in a glass of water, tea or juice. Also, honey is indicated for the homogenization of oils and for safer administration.
Normally, small amounts of essential oils do not affect the tooth enamel, but it is recommended to rinse the mouth after administration. Also, for more safety, you can use a straw for internal administration of essential oils.
The lid of the oil recipient is provided with a child safety system so that they can not open it easily. Therefore, to open the cover, it is necessary to press and rotate to the left at the same time. When unsealing the bottle, it will be necessary to exercise a greater force to break the seal.
