Government commended for the development of schools
A nation is built on the kind of school, classrooms, teachers and most importantly the kind of education that we teach our children.
India's Minister of State for Ministry of Human Resource Development and Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Satya Pal Singh made this comment while commissioning the new teachers quarters at Rabulu Sangam School in Tavua yesterday.
Mr Singh commended the government of Fiji for their initiative in developing the schools that were affected by Tropical Cyclone Winston.
Mr Singh also reminded the teachers that it is their role to mould children to add value to society.
"I was really painful for me when I came to know that many schools like yours were damaged due to the cyclone," he said.
"I would like to thank the Ministers and the government of Fiji for their initiative in the development of the schools and we are very happy that the government of India has also extended their help."
"Education not only begins when they start learning in class one, we were discussing on what kind of pre-school education we must have and we need teachers who can give both the love and care that both a parent and a teacher can give."
"The purpose of education is to create holistic development among our children and this means that our children must be physically fit and mentally fit."
School Principal Saroj Kumar thanked the government and the Ministry of Education for their constant support towards the school and it was an experience that they will always remember.
"It was an experience for the children and teachers to have witnessed such a memorable event and this will allow the teachers to have more security in the school."

Toby Hilliard to the rescue as King's Lynn Town snatch late point against Banbury
PUBLISHED: 12:24 18 February 2018 | UPDATED: 12:24 18 February 2018
Toby Hilliard is making a habit of grabbing late goals – and late points – for King's Lynn Town.
The striker – whose injury-time goal earned Lynn a vital win over Hereford last month – was at it again on Saturday when he rescued a point, this time, for Ian Culverhouse's men.
The Linnets had trailed to a 72nd-minute Jack Self goal, but Hilliard struck deep into injury time. It wasn't enough to prevent Lynn from surrendering top spot to Hereford, who won 4-0 at Dunstable, but it could yet prove vital.
"Our final play today in the final third of the pitch wasn't good enough," boss Ian Culverhouse told the club's official website. "We need to be more clinical again as we have been over the past two weeks. The game was played on what I can only describe as a bog of a pitch and when you think either side created really only one notable chance each that tells you everything you need to know."
After a slow opening a good passage of home domination resulted in Simon Lappin shooting wide of Jack Harding's goal. Lappin then turned provider as his delightful centre was met by the head of Craig Parker whose looping header rebounded off the bar with Michael Gash unable to turn home the loose ball. Sub Leon Mettam's run was halted by an onrushing Harding who made a brave stop.
Despite all of the probing it was the Puritans who struck first as Self took full advantage of the space afforded to him by the home defence to slot past Alex Street.
With time running out the busy Mettam appeared to be fouled inside the area, but referee Abigail Marriot awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box and Harding produced a top save low to his left to divert Gash's effort around the post.
Lynn finally got the reward their efforts when Hilliard hooked home from 10 yards following a link-up between Norman and Mettam.
Lynn: Street, Norman, Blake-Tracy, Frary, Fryatt (Mettam 50), Jarvis, Clunan, Parker (Hilliard 68), Gash, Hawkins (McQuaid 82), Lappin. Sub not used: Watson.
Banbury: Harding, Pond, Ngathe, Nash, Carnell, Johnson, Hawtin, Self, Sandy, Humphrey (Winters 45+2), Wyse. Subs not used: Howards, Awadh.

Summer feels as though it has finally arrived and now is the time most of us start thinking about making a splash in our gardens, by purchasing paddling pools for our little and big ones. So we have taken a look at the choice of family paddling pools available from the smallest to the largest:
One of the least expensive paddling pools on the market is the Splish, Splash, which is available to buy from Argos at £9.99 for a brightly coloured, ringed paddling pool. It is quite small, but because it's shallow it is more suitable for a younger child. There is also a repair kit included. To take a look visit their website.
John Lewis has a small selection of paddling pools available on-line, starting with the Intex round paddling pool, which is suitable for a slightly older child of 6 years and upwards, and its 37 cm wall height looks quite sturdy, this is priced at £29.95 and they still have 10 left to purchase on-line. Surprisingly they don't seem to sell larger pools.
The on-line retailer Splash and Relax offer a vast array of paddling pools with a starting price of £4.49 for the smallest up to £149.95 for their largest pool family sized pool, which is a rectangular frame 157" pool, including a filter pump with free home delivery. To see their huge choice of pools visit their website.
Having a paddling pool in the garden is a great way for all the family to have fun throughout summer, but it's important to consider the safety aspects of having one in the garden.
So we have put a guide together on how you can make your paddling pool safe:
It's important to make sure a paddling pool visible, especially if your child is under four years of age, as statistically half the children who drown are aged four or under - pools come in an enormous range of sizes, some are huge, but currently there are no real safety rules in the UK concerning the safety of paddling pools or swimming pools.
If possible you could also install and paddling pool in a fenced off area, preferable 2.2 metres in height, and when not in use it's best to empty it.
The Health and Safety executive made this statement about the safety of paddling pools: "A paddling pool, even if shallow, involves a low but irremovable risk of drowning (even with parental supervision) but this is normally tolerable. The likelihood is typically extremely low, the hazard is readily apparent, children benefit through their enjoyment and through the learning experience of water play and finally, further reduction or management of risk is not practicable without taking away the benefits."
Another consideration when maintaining your paddling pool is to keep the water safe, as this will prevent eye, ear and nose infections, there are various paddling pool water treatments available on the market which if used properly will ensure your child doesn't fall ill.
And finally make sure you and your family have lots of family fun.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life.
Legal Responsibility
Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every level of the home and outside all sleeping areas. It's the law.
It is the homeowner's responsibility to install and maintain smoke alarms. In a rental unit, it is the landlord's responsibility to comply with the law;
It is against the law to disable a smoke alarm.
Maintain Your Smoke Alarm
Test your smoke alarms on a monthly basis by pushing the test button;
To make sure your batteries are always fresh, change them when you change your clocks in the spring and fall;
To reduce false alarms, vacuum your smoke alarms at least once a year;
If your smoke alarms are more than ten (10) years old, replace them with new ones.
Draw a floor plan of your home showing all possible exits from each room;
Where possible, plan a main exit route and an alternate exit route from each room;
Establish a safe meeting place outside your home where every member of your family can meet;
Make certain everyone understands if they hear the smoke alarm or someone shouting "Fire" they should immediately evacuate the home;
Discuss your escape plan and practice fire drills with your family. This is the best way to prevent panic, especially among children. Be sure every family member knows what to do.
If you live in an apartment building, you and your family should know where your exits are and your nearest fire alarm pull station.
Establish an escape plan and meeting place with your family. In an emergency, hallway and exit lights may be out of service. Make sure you can follow your escape plan in the dark.
Fire extinguishers are designed as the first line of defense against fire and should only be used to extinguish small fires. If the fire is to large, get out, close all the doors behind you, if possible, and call 9-1-1.
How to use an extinguisher the right way
Hold the extinguisher upright;
Pull the pin;
Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire;
Squeeze or pump the handle;
Sweep the base of the fire from side to side (left to right).
Buy only an extinguisher that has been approved by a national recognized testing laboratory, such as U.L.C.
If a fire breaks out in your home, remain calm.
If the smoke alarm goes off when you're asleep, shout to wake everyone up, follow your escape plan and get out of the building.
Don't stop to investigate the origins of the fire or to collect valuables or pets;
Use your escape route to get everyone out to safety and meet at the agreed point;
Close any doors that are open, and only open the doors you need to go through (this will help to stop the fire from spreading to rapidly);
Check doors with the back of your hand. If a door is warm, don't open it, the fire is on the other side;
If there is a lot of smoke, crawl along the floor as the air will be cleanest there;
If your clothing is on fire - stop, don't run, drop or lower yourself to the floor, roll back and forth, with your hands covering your face until the fire is extinguished;
Once you have everyone out of the building, use a mobile phone or a neighbors' phone to call 9-1-1. Give the emergency operator your name and address. Provide as much information as possible about the fire and the building;
Don't go back into the building for anything. If there is still someone inside, tell the Fire Department when they arrive on the site, they will be able to find the person more quickly and safely than you can.
Apply the following safety tips in order to prevent fires:
Install at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home and test it monthly to ensure it works. If you live in a rental unit, it is the owner's legal responsibility to make sure that you have a working smoke alarm;
Develop and practice a fire escape plan that includes two ways out of every room (if possible) and an outside meeting place;
Keep cooking areas clean and clear of materials that could catch fire such as pot-holders, towels, rags, drapes and food packaging;
If you are a smoker, make sure ashtrays are large and deep, and won't tip over. Douse cigarette and cigar butts with water before discarding them. Never smoke in bed;
Use candleholders that are sturdy, won't tip over easily, are made from a material that can't burn and are large enough to collect dripping wax. Don't place lit candles in windows, where blinds and curtains are close to them and never leave a lit candle unattended;
Avoid storing flammable liquids in your home, such as gasoline or paint solvents;
Never store propane cylinders in your home;
Do not use unsafe electrical appliances. Do not use extension cords as permanent wiring and discard frayed extension cords and do not overload circuits;
Tighten fuses in fuse panel or check circuit breakers for free operation in the spring and fall.

Apparently I'm the last one to figure this out, but that's the norm these days.
FreeCreditReport.com is not free. In fact it costs $15 a month. The company behind the service is now forced to alter there catchy commericals due to the recent crackdown on the credit card and credit industries. Suppliers of these "free" services now have to inlcude "This is not the free credit report provided for by Federal law" in all tv and radio advertisements. They must also now inform consumers that the only free credit report service is AnnualCreditReport.com.
I've never been in search of a credit report service, but it's a real shame that people didn't do further investigating when looking for a free report. If they hadn't been drawn in by FreeCreditReport.com's catchy jingles, they could have easily found the free alternative. So for catchy jingles, FreeCreditReport.com gets a thumbs up. But for scamming consumers out of millions, two big thumbs down.
FreeCreditReport.com, The Conservative Journal honors you with the "Honorary Plaque of Fail" because you're going to have a heck of time developing a well written jingle that includes "15 Dollar a Month credit report dot com" and "This is not the free credit report provided for by Federal law". Best of luck.
What do you think of this services trickery? How long have you known about this? Longer than I have, I assure you. Leave your comments below or send an e-mail to email@example.com. Don't forget to bookmark The Conservative Journal and sign up for the RSS Feed and the daily e-mail newsletter.

FRANKFURT/WASHINGTON -- Congress should investigate new allegations that Volkswagen Group diesel cars were sold overseas with rigged software after the company's $14.7 billion settlement of a cheating scandal in the U.S., a Republican lawmaker said.
A new probe is "almost inevitable," Representative Darrell Issa of California, the former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a phone interview.
"There is a growing sense executives need to be held accountable," he said, adding that an earlier settlement reached between U.S. regulators and Volkswagen in 2016 didn't reflect the scope of current "global conspiracy that we now understand."
Issa, who said he had been in discussions with about a dozen other lawmakers, said the testimony of key Volkswagen and Porsche executives could be sought as soon as April and that they may seek to compel their testimony if they don't provide it voluntarily.
A new congressional investigation could complicate VW's efforts to emerge from one of the biggest scandals in automotive history, involving 11 million vehicles worldwide. In 2016, the company reached a settlement of nearly $15 billion with the U.S. government in which it admitted to rigging diesel models so they would pass government emissions tests in the lab even as they exceeded by wide margins pollution standards on the road.
The company agreed to either buy back or retrofit 500,000 vehicles, among other things.
The company remains involved in investor lawsuits in the U.S. and in Germany related to how the emissions-test rigging affected the stock price, as well as consumer lawsuits and a criminal inquiry in Germany. The scandal has already cost the world's biggest automaker some $30 billion in fines and recall costs.
Volkswagen's Audi recalled some 5,000 A8 diesel sedans in November to update the software built into vehicles as late at August 2017. Earlier last year, then-German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt accused Audi and Porsche of using a defeat device in the A8 and the Cayenne SUV and forced the recall of 22,000 cars sold in Europe with 3-0-liter diesel engines.
Lawmakers are seeking to learn how far up the corporate chain at Volkswagen and Porsche knowledge of the cheating went and "have they been held accountable," Issa said.
"Since September 2015, Volkswagen has taken significant steps to make things right for our diesel customers in the United States and help win back the trust of the American public," Volkswagen Group of America spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said in a statement. "Volkswagen is currently in the midst of the biggest transformation in our history, as we work to become a global leader in sustainable mobility and build a stronger and more transparent corporate culture."
Oliver Schmidt, VW's compliance liaison with American regulators, pleaded guilty in August to one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and another of violating the Clean Air Act and was later sentenced to seven years in prison. James Liang, a veteran VW engineer, was sentenced to 40 months in prison in August. Liang, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy last year and has been cooperating with prosecutors, has appealed his sentence.
No Germany-based senior executives have been convicted in the case, which Issa said he finds troubling.
Letter to Germany
Representatives Steve King and Ron DeSantis sent a letter in December to VW's CEO Matthias Mueller questioning the company's resolve to improve its ethical standards and be transparent about the involvement of high level executives tied to the emissions scandal.
"Certain developments at Volkswagen AG in Egypt, Germany and elsewhere relating to compliance and ethical issues that we find deeply troubling suggest a persistent continuation of the type of inappropriate conduct that led to one of the largest scandals in automotive history in the U.S.," King, an Iowa Republican, and DeSantis, a Florida Republican, wrote in a joint letter dated Dec 20.
Separately, Congress is looking to permit the Federal Trade Commission to more easily investigate the activities of companies based outside of the U.S., Issa said in an earlier interview in Munich.
American politicians were "motivated" to keep pressure on Volkswagen, added Issa, who is not seeking re-election. "A criminal investigation is never over, until the statute of limitation hits."

Costa Rica is an incredibly diverse and beautiful country where the forests are looming, the sun is hot, and the beaches are awe-inspiring. To be honest, rather than diving into the reasons why teaching English as a second language is worthy of a goals hashtag, one could just create a gallery of photos without captions.
However, since people usually have a few questions before packing up and moving to another part of the world– and since the pictures do the country little justice. If you've ever dreamed of Teaching English Overseas, here are some of the reasons why you should consider adding Costa Rica to your bucket list.
Costa Rica is Multilingual
Costa Rica's predominant spoken language is Spanish, with English following at a close second. However, there are many more languages spoken across the cultural landscape. In fact, Costa Rica is known for having the skills to learn multiple languages with relative ease and dominates command of the English language compared to other Latin American countries.
So, if the fear of not speaking the language is holding you back, don't fret. You will easily be able to navigate the culture and may learn a few new languages yourself.
Costa Rica is Safe
When someone from northern regions hears stories about Central America and South America, the tales are often scary and violent. Unfortunately, Costa Rica sometimes gets grouped in with these countries due to the geographic proximity. There is a lot of discussion about the dangers of San Jose, but like any city, it has both safe areas and rougher areas that travelers should avoid.
While many places are politically tumultuous or facing civil unrest, Costa Rica is not. If you take proper safety precautions, such as taking a cab home from an evening on the town rather than walking or keeping a close eye on your belongings, you should be totally fine. These are the same precautions you should take in any city.
The Surroundings
If you live in the northern USA or Canada, then you are no stranger to dark, miserable winter mornings. There are spans of time when you get to work while it is dark and go home when it is dark. In Costa Rica, that's never an issue. The average temperature throughout the year is 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). This is perfect for enjoying the scenic beaches, incredible rainforests, and stunning vistas the country has to offer.
The people in Costa Rica are happy and healthy. The majority of their diets are comprised of fresh produce, and the general attitude is one of calm and relaxation, a direct contrast to the North American lifestyle. Perhaps this combination of low-stress levels and healthy meals contribute to the long lifespan of the Costa Rican people.
Socially Progressive
Costa Rica is ahead of the curve in so many ways. They have free healthcare, so don't worry about getting sick while abroad. They boast a literacy rate of a stunning 98% and the same amount of renewable energy sources throughout the country. In a nutshell, Costa Rica takes care of its land and people to the best of their ability, providing a safe, happy, and healthy country in which to live.
¡Pura Vida!
Pura Vida is a Costa Rican catchphrase that means "simple life" and perfectly captures the beauty of life in the country. This term is used to say hello and goodbye and isn't just a greeting, but a way of life.
It's no wonder that Costa Rica was named one of the happiest places in the world. If that fact alone isn't enough to encourage you to pack your bags, feel free to look at more pictures. We'll wait.

040 – Brainwave States and Meditation
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Last week we talked about sentinel goals and sentinel events. We might have 10 sentinel goals in our life and then sporadic sentinel events. Sentinel goals are things that you intentionally work towards where sentinel events are things that happen spontaneously.
Today. we are going to talk about brainwave states and meditation. We also want to reemphasize how achieving goals is an active process. You need to have a crystal-clear vision of what you want to achieve, and then have the strength to follow through even when the going gets rough.
Topics Discussed Today
[05:14] We recap last week's episode number 39 about sentinel goals and sentinel events. Then we talk about the importance of actually doing the work yourself and not faking it.
[06:26] Being strong enough to deal with a life transforming event. Being strong enough to pursue your goal and not give up.
[07:41] Weak minded people don't have the capacity to overcome failure and become stronger or take it to the next level.
[08:18] You need to decide in advance what type of person you are going to be on the other side.
[08:56] How pursuing goals is an active process. We can't attain things by a passive process of osmosis. Learning, achieving, and growing is active.
[10:22] The first thing you need to do is have a crystal-clear vision of your goal and then use an active process to achieve it.
[10:32] Put your mind in your future's body and feel what it would feel like to accomplish that goal. Find the secret of the goal, because then you will have the pathway to achieving that goal. Invest yourself mind, body, and spirit into the achievement of that goal.
[11:01] To have an ethos centric driven life you have to have three values.Three major sentinel values that are part of your constitution like integrity, wisdom, and benevolence or whatever your values are. These values are the internal default of your sphere of perception.
[13:07] Deciding whether to share your goal or keep it to yourself.
[16:47] The importance of knowing your why. Why are you pursuing that goal? When you put all these pieces together, start looking for that secret pathway.
[17:44] You don't have to tell everybody your goals. Keep them to yourself.
[18:20] When it's just between you and your mind you become more powerful. The more you talk about the less powerful you become. Unless, it's a collaborative effort.
[19:30] Michael knew he needed to do something to change his mental state. He decided to start meditating. He didn't really know anything about meditating, so he googled it and took it from there.
[20:53] None of the things Michael found really resonated with him then he ran across Stuart Wilde's introduction to meditation.
[22:17] After Michael started listening to that metronome sound of Stuart Wilde's, all kinds of synchronicities in his life began happening.
[23:27] Eben Alexander's near-death experience when he was in a coma. Consciousness is not contained within the brain it has to come from somewhere else.
[26:03] Standing inside a giant inner tube from the inside out. How an energetic field emerges from your body. The heart also has a taurus shaped electrical field. The heart is an electrical impulse. The shape of the field is taurus shaped.
[29:29] How positive emotions correlate with a larger more expanded heart field. Negative emotions correlate with a restricted heart field.
[30:01] Positive emotions can have a sympathetic resonance with people around us.
[31:21] Using concentric magnets to treat tennis elbow.
[33:35] Neuroplasticity and the brain's ability to adapt.
[36:34] Training your neurons and rewiring your brain.
[38:11] Using conscious awareness to wrap your neurons in positive thoughts. Rewiring your own brain in a good way.
[39:13] The flow state. Extremely focused on the task at hand.
[40:03] The Peter principle means you can work to your level of competence. Once you reach your max, your work begins to deteriorate.
[47:08] The hypnotic sound of meditating with a metronome. Meditating with binaural beats. This puts you in a state of mind or a flow state. Wear headphones and each ear will hear a slightly different frequency.
[50:59] A Delta state is a deep coma state.
[51:53] Gamma is found in peak performance states.
[52:32] Alpha is a nice relaxed calm mind. Or when they are having REM or dream sleep.
[52:58] Theta waves are what very experienced meditators like Buddhist monks are able to do
[59:04] Start meditating with binaural beats. It's an easy way to get into medication without having to mess with guided meditations.

Heb je vragen?Neem contact op
Mon Petit Coeur heeft 8 recensies en is in de afgelopen 4 jaar gemiddeld beoordeeld met een:
Stella Rymer uit Rugby,
We arrived in the dark and awoke the next morning to pull back curtains and WOW what a view ! Fantastic base for exploring local places of interest. Peace and relaxation guaranteed, whilst enjoying a glass of wine on the decking, and having a dip in the pool. Plenty of lovely local restaurants to enjoy. Josie is always there for help and advice. The gite was spotless, everything you need at hand, and English TV. Bikes are also available to enjoy a ride through the lovely countryside. On one such occasion, we came across CafeBonBon in La Chapelle aux Lys, owned by a lovely English couple.
Would highly recommend and return - Beautiful !
Elizabeth Preston uit Oxford,
Delightful gite with a fabulous view from the living room and terrace that is hard to beat (but we also recommend a walk up the lane for a 180 degree panoramic view of the wonderful countryside around). Thoughtfully and comfortably furnished and has the best equipped kitchen we have found in a holiday home. Josie provides a lovely welcome basket along with all the basics you need for the kitchen and bathroom. All in all a lovely gite in a tranquil location and we would thoroughly recommend it for a relaxing time away from it all.
Angela Hewitt uit Norwich,
5 out of 5 Stars - Home now from our wonderful week at La Menantelierre. The Gite is gorgeous, with absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Josie is a wonderful host, and the welcome basket on arrival (including wine!) was a lovely touch. The Gite has the most fantastic views which no photos can do justice to. Miles and miles of tranquil French countryside was our view whilst sipping wine on the terrace - gorgeous. My husband enjoyed numerous local walks, maps provided by Josie! The local restaurants are superb for 'Plat du Jour' at €12 each. A visit to La Rochelle was lovely, and would recommend as less than an hour away. Thank you so much for a lovely, relaxing stay. We'll definitely be back!
David Hockridge uit Cheltenham,
We had a lovely holiday and would thoroughly recommend staying here. The gite is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and is a real home from home. Josie the owner is very friendly and helpful, she even let our two year old boy help feed the chickens and pigs and pick some fresh raspberries and strawberries. The gite has the most amazing view of the Vendee countryside, and is a great place to relax. We would recommend a trip to Parc Bruin if you have young children, the swimming lake about 15 mins away (which I can't remember the name of but Josie will point you in the right direction), a walk around and lunch out in Vouvant, a visit to the River Mervent where you can hire boats and a lunch out at the Chateau La Citardiere.
Reactie van Josie Bounds
David - thanks for your kind words, it was great to host you and your family for your holiday, take care Josie
Keith Millington uit Rochdale,
Spent a week here and we really enjoyed the home. It was very comfortable, clean and well equipped and had all the facilities you could want. The owner, Josie was very helpful and made us so welcome. The pictures don't relay how peaceful and tranquil the home really is and the views are lovely. Sat on the patio with a glass of wine watching the sun go down brings fond memories. The only blot was the weather which could have been better but it did not spoil our week. Thanks Josie.

Fundamental dishonesty in occupational disease claims - Paul Debney, Weightmans LLP
24/10/18. In this, the first of a series of 3 articles, Paul Debney, Partner and head of disease counter fraud at national firm Weightmans LLP, highlights some of the issues surrounding fundamental dishonesty ("FD") in disease claims.
Claimants who bring FD claims risk significantly more than simply failure; there are for example the potential financial consequences of enforceable costs orders, quite apart from tort of deceit claims and contempt of Court. What might constitute FD in occupational disease claims has been a developing area of law since the case of James v Diamantek (unreported 2015).
In that noise induced hearing loss ("NIHL") claim the claimant alleged in his letter of claim and particulars of claim that he had never been provided with hearing protection or training in relation to the same during the entirety of his allegedly noisy exposure by the defendant. He apparently told his medical expert the same thing and repeated that assertion in Part 18 replies and his witness statement.
However, during cross examination he changed his evidence to concede that he had worn hearing protection for the whole time during the last 7 years of his employment and for some of the time during the earlier 3 year period. The District Judge rejected the claimant's evidence and found that he had worn hearing protection for the entirety of the allegedly noisy employment and dismissed his claim. Unsurprisingly, the Defendant applied for an order that the claim was fundamentally dishonest, to displace qualified one way costs shifting ("QOCS") pursuant to CPR 44.16(1) and permission to enforce that costs order.
The District Judge declined the application and said that although she had found that the claimant had lied about the non provision of hearing protection, he was nevertheless an honest man...

This is an excerpt from Delights for Ladies
(England, 1609)
The original source can be found at Kirrily Robert's website
12 - To make an excellent Marchpane paste, to print off in moulds for banquetting dishes. Take to every Jordan Almond blanched, three spoonefuls of the whitest refined sugar you can get: searce your sugar, and now and then, as you see cause, put in two or three drops of damask Rose-water: beare the same in a smooth stone mortar, with great labour, until you have brought it into a dry stiffe paste: one quarterne of sugar is sufficient to worke at once.
Make your paste in little bals, every ball containing so much by estimation, as will cover your mould or print; then roune the same with a rowling pin upon a sheet of cleane paper, without strewing any powdered sugar either upon your paste or paper. There is a countrey Gentlewoman whom I could name, which venteth great store of sugar-cakes made of this composition. But the only fault which I find in this paste is, that it tasteth too much of the sugar, and too little of the almonds: and therefore you may prove the making thereof by such almonds which have had some of their oil taken from them by expression, before you incorporate them with the sugar; and so happely you may mix a greater quantity of them with the sugar, because they are not oylie as the other.
You may mix cinamon or ginger in your paste, & that will both grace the taste, and alter the colour, but the spice must passe thorow a faire searce; you may steep your almonds in cold water all night, & so blanch them cold, and being blanched, dry them in a sieve over the fire. Heere the garble of almonds will make a cheap paste.

Recently the photograph below, Rhein II by Andreas Gursky sold for a record $3.9m (£2.5m).
(Source: Wikipedia)
This reduced thumbnail does no justice to what is a three meter wide plexiglass mounted artifact, the impact of which is greatly reduced on a computer screen. What the picture does do, though, is to highlight the difference between the types of photograph judged as popular and those judged as art. The former view is effectively expressed here:
Take a good look at this photo. What do you make of it ? Like it ?
No, nor do I, really. Not thrilling at all, is it ? If the horizon wasn't quite so..er..horizontal it could be mistaken for the end of a roll of film. Something snapped over the photographer's shoulder as a means of getting to the end of the roll, thus being able to process and expose all the proper photos in taken beforehand.
(The Sharp Single)
The latter view could be summed up here:
That said, it could be a long time before a photograph comes along that will top Gursky's print. This image is a vibrant, beautiful and memorable – I should say unforgettable – contemporary twist on Germany's famed genre and favourite theme: the romantic landscape, and man's relationship with nature.
(Florence Waters, Daily Telegraph)
My sympathies lie with the latter view, absolutely so. Just how effective a photograph this is made very clear by an attempt I made yesterday afternoon to reproduce something similar. There's a stretch of the Chain and Rocks Canal that is as straight as the Rhine in Gursky's photograph, also bounded by green levees and pathways. But, even allowing for slight differences in perspective and positioning, the resulting photograph (below) has nothing of the magic of Rhein II.Why is this?
Firstly, the trees on the skyline break up the line of the horizon and destroy the sense of width and space that you see in Rhein II. Secondly, the textures of sky, grass and path are far too complicated. The same applies to color. The least complicated texture in the Chain of Rocks photograph is the water itself, but the opposite is the case in Rhein II. Gursky has also over-saturated the green on the banks, restricting his color palette to a relatively small set of green-yellows; he has done a similar thing with the grays of the sky, path and water. All of these reductions and changes of emphasis enhance the artistry of the photograph even as they reduce the aspect of realism.
Gursky demonstrates in Rhein II just why he is a great artist. Now, as regards the prices paid for art these days, well, that has simply become absurd.

Most women use at least some form of contraception to prevent pregnancy before they are ready. However, many women don't realize that after some forms of contraception, it can be harder to get pregnant. Read on for details about pregnancy after different forms of contraception. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here
Pregnancy after IUD is usually pretty straightforward. Since the doctor will be the one to remove the IUD from a woman's body, and will remove the hormones along with the IUD, there is no "waiting period" to have to wait until the hormones are completely out of the body. Women can start trying to conceive immediately after the IUD is removed.
A woman's ovulation and menstrual cycles might take a few months to get back on track, however. Four to six months is the average length of time that it takes a woman to get pregnant after an IUD removal, and within one year, 80-90 percent of couples who had an IUD removed in order to get pregnant, are expecting.
Pregnancy after birth control pills is something that varies greatly between women. Some women have no problem getting pregnant after coming off of the pill, and these women don't need to give the pill time to get out of their system. (This is why it is possible for some women to get pregnant if they forget to take their pill for even one day!) Most doctors will advise a woman to wait until her first menstrual cycle after going off the pill before trying to conceive. While many women go back to their normal cycles, for some women, it might take a few months.
Probably the hardest birth control method to go off of is Depo Provera. Of course, the actual "going off" of the shot is easy, but Depo Provera stays in your system longer than other birth control methods, so it can take longer for your normal cycles to return.
The average length of time that it takes Depo Provera to get out of a woman's system is 12 months. More women report problems getting pregnant after taking Depo Provera shots than any other form of birth control. Pregnancy after Depo Provera can take some considerable time.
If you are using other forms of birth control, like spermicides or condoms, it is usually pretty easy to conceive after stopping the birth control. None of these other methods affect fertility after they are done being used, and heck, you can even get pregnant WHILE using a condom!
The best rule of thumb? If you are worried about how easy or hard it will be to conceive after you stop using your current method of birth control, speak to your doctor. He or she will be able to give you personalized advice and offer tips for you to get pregnant when you want, and not before!

WALDRON Dana
Cinema and Evil Moral Complexities and the "Dangerous" Film
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2015, 230 p., ôÈ20.
Malevolence (and its causes) has been central to film since its inception ; the birth of film coinciding with a fascination with crime, death, murder, horror, etc. Films which address the problem of evil, however, are less frequent and fewer in quantity ; especially films which respond to a body of thought ã philosophical or theological ã which has deliberated on the topic of evil over the centuries. Cinema and Evil : Moral Responsibility and the "Dangerous" Film addresses these films. It explores the legacy of evil from Manicheanism to Arendt, assessing the alternative definitions offered by philosophers, theologians and writers per se, on its problematic status. It then considers how the films of filmmakers such as Fritz Lang, Orson Welles, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Michael Haneke, Gus Van Sant, and Lynne Ramsay have responded to the problem of evil in their films. In case by case studies, filmmakersã response to "evil" events, whether those such as the Holocaust or Columbine, in which evil is used as a descriptor for human behaviour, is explored. The book refers to these as "dangerous" films, tasking us with the need to consider evil as a problem which is also our responsibility. It argues that these filmmakers have been at the forefront of ethical deliberation on evil.En savoir plus : http://www.cambridgescholars.com/cinema-and-evil-16

In this video we meet Sam Allberry, an Anglican minister in the UK. He explains to their General Synod that he is a man who experiences same-sex attraction. But he also explains that, in being a follower of Jesus, he is not defined by his sexuality. Worth a look.
UPDATE: Sam spoke to RZIM (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries) about the above video. You can find his comments here.

Terrific Outing of Albies, Stripers and Blues
All the albies were caught on the float and fluke rig (see previous post), about the hottest ticket right now to catch these finicky feeders. The stripers and blues were mostly taken on bucktail jigs and Wild Eye shads, good imitators when there is peanut bunker around. Fishing is real hot right now if you can find the bait. It took a lot of looking today but when we found it we found big numbers of fish. It turned out to be about as hot as it gets in September!

While some private insurance companies are beginning to cover a portion of hearing aid costs, Medicare and a number of other insurance companies still provide no coverage when it comes to hearing aids. Here are several reasons why:
- Medicare's stance on hearing aids
Medicare's refusal to cover the cost of hearing aids dates back to the days when hearing aids were sold door-to-door. Unscrupulous hearing aid salesmen gave the impression that hearing aids were just "snake oil." While there are still some unscrupulous hearing aid dealers in the industry, this issue has been largely resolved by licensing boards requiring dealers to follow a code of ethics when selling hearing aids. Despite this, Medicare would rather cut costs than add more in the form of hearing aids or non-medical hearing treatment.
- The hearing aid billing structure
For decades, the cost of hearing aids has been bundled with the cost of services that are required to make those hearing aids work properly. This means that when you buy a pair of hearing aids, all of your future care is already paid for. Insurance companies do not operate this way. In other words, they won't pay for services not yet rendered. While some hearing-care professionals are beginning to separate the cost of devices from the cost of services, insurance companies have been slow to react to this change.
- Why pay for them now?
Hearing aids have gone so many years without insurance coverage, so why would insurance companies start to offer coverage now? Consumers have become so used to the fact that hearing aids are not covered by insurance that it doesn't usually factor into their consideration when choosing an insurance company. Little incentivizes insurance providers to deviate from the status quo and offer coverage of hearing aids after decades of refusing.
Hearing aid coverage and discount plans are becoming more common in the world of insurance. However, even if you do have coverage, it doesn't mean that you will get the treatment that is most appropriate for you. For more information how insurance works if you do have coverage, watch this video.
If you are unsure if your insurance plan covers the cost of hearing aids, we can help. We are able to perform a benefits investigation and explain your coverage in an easy-to-understand way.

The US dollar has risen against a basket of currencies Monday, following news the US senate passed the latest version of the US tax reform bill, on its journey to become law. However, gains were tempered by concerns over the upward path of interest rates in 2018.
By 1050 BST, the US dollar index was 0.44% higher at 93.22. That's a significant recovery from the 92.59 it touched on Friday.

The US senate voted to pass the amended version of the tax reform bill early Saturday. In a 51-49 vote, the latest version of the bill will now be debated and compared with a different version created by the House.
If an agreement an be reached, it will then be voted into law.
However, there are concerns the US tax reforms will benefit corporations and the wealthy, while being less positive for regular, working Americans.
Further adding to the division between the Republicans and Democrats, is that the latest bill was handed to the Senate just a few hours before the vote took place.
The document was 500-pages long, which suggests it was impossible for anyone who voted, to have had enough time to properly peruse the amended tax reform bill.
No Democrats voted in favour of passing the bill and one Republican also voted against it. But Trump's 52-48 majority, meant it went through with only Republican support.
If the tax reform bill is eventually passed into law, it will represent the first legislative victory for President Trump.
Rates outlook
Investors appear generally enthused about the potential tax reform plan – which would represent the biggest overhaul in over 30 years. However, they are also concerned the plan could slow the pace of potential interest rate hikes next year.
"There is some broad optimism generated on the U.S. tax plan's passage through the Senate, but it remains to be seen how much it will translate into higher U.S. interest rates next year," said Christin Tuxen, an FX strategist at Danske Bank, according to a Reuters report.

CM wants index to gauge city's living conditions
How liveable is your city and how does it fare in comparison to other global mega cities, like Sao Paulo or Mexico City?mumbai Updated: Jul 04, 2011 00:56 IST
How liveable is your city and how does it fare in comparison to other global mega cities, like Sao Paulo or Mexico City?
Soon, Mumbaiites may have a measure of the state of their city's governance and infrastructure.
Metropolis, a world association of 120 global cities, may undertake a project for the city to benchmark its basic amenities and facilities and create a liveability index.
A delegation of Metropolis, led by Agnes Bickart, secretariat general, met chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday. "The CM was keen on developing a liveability index for Mumbai, benchmarking its various aspects in conjunction with other mega cities. He was also keen on dialogue on urban planning across cross-sections of society," said Sunil Dubey, a member of the Metropolis delegation.
An index like this would, typically, track the city's open spaces, cost of food, population density, capacity of local trains, housing and the like. Mumbai and its vast hinterland is estimated to become one of the largest metropolitan region in the world by 2031, second to perhaps only Tokyo.
The delegation presented Chavan it's soon to be launched publication: Indian Cities — Managing Urban Growth, which has three case studies from the state."We should initiate citizen interactions and dialogue on issues like urban infrastructure, basic amenities and housing. We can study how cities like Brazil, Mexico have met challenges of urban planning," Chavan said.

St. Augustine Battles Back to Record 2-2 tie with Christian Brothers
WALL TOWNSHIP — It wasn't the result either team envisioned when it took the ice but the sour finish left a lasting impression Christian Brothers and St. Augustine are intent on not repeating again.
Twice, Christian Brothers took the lead and twice St. Augustine battled back to tie, the second coming on a controversial goal with 11:49 remaining in regulation, en route to a 2-2 draw at the Jersey Shore Arena in Wall.
Derek Contessa put Christian Brothers, No. 4 in The New Jersey Hockey Private Top 10, on the board with his fine finish on the power-play 9:13 into the game, assisted by Corey Clifton and Tim Grable. St. Augustine stormed back just 22 seconds after the puck dropped in the second frame, however, when Bobby LaBrosse finished what Carson Briere started to make it a 1-1 game but the tie was short-lived as Dean DiFazio's backhander off the set up from Nic Lidondici and Corey Clifton put CBA back in front just 30 seconds off the ensuing face-off.
Despite ample scoring chances on both sides of the puck, it remained a 2-1 game until a big collision at center ice between St. Augustine's J.D. George and CBA's Kyle Contessa opened it up. The hit created a mismatch at center as Brendon Shortall scooped up the loose puck at the line and drove in letting go a shot that some felt never crossed the goal line.
"Sean Mulhern was doing a lot of hard work at the blue line. I found the loose puck and just backhanded it in," Shortall described his game-tying goal. "The third period we came out strong and played physical. We need to bury the puck when we're given the chance."
"We saw video and it didn't go in but it doesn't matter and it's beside the point," Christian Brothers' coach Ryan Bogan said. "You can't rely on (them). Refs get their hands on games but you have to do it yourself."
Both teams were given chances to win with 5-on-3 power-play opportunities late in the game but each failed to cash in.
After the game, neither team was content. Each acknowledged the missed opportunities that slipped through the cracks and each felt it let the other off the hook. And with less than a month before the start of the NJSIAA tournament and the window for error closing ever tighter by the day, both teams vowed it would not let it happen again.
Christian Brothers (12-3-4) out-shot No. 5 St. Augustine 20-4 in the first stanza. If not for the play of senior goalie Giovanni Albano, who finished with 33 saves in net, the Atlantic County school never would have recovered.
"I thought the first period they took it to us," St. Augustine coach Tim Fingerhut said. "We were on our heels but the second period we started picking up the pace and playing physical. When we're physical, we're a good hockey team."
Albano's play allowed St. Augustine to climb back in and Carson Briere made a deft pass to Bobby LaBrosse who made no mistake in making it a 1-1 game.
"I got a nice pass from Carson, looked up, saw a lot of open ice and skated wide before letting go a shot on net," LaBrosse said. "I knew I was going to get hit but I took the hit and put it in.
"We need to fix these starts and play like we did in the third right off the bat," LaBrosse, a senior, said. "We need to get back to our real game which is hitting. We're a big-hitting team. Once we started hitting them we started getting to loose pucks and put them on net."
"The goal was a stab in the heart," CBA forward Nic Lidondici said. "We gave it our all every shift, up 20-4 in shots in the first but then they scored to tie it up. We knew we had to get back out there next shift and bury it and we did."
Lidondici and Clifton worked the puck to DiFazio who returned the lead to their Monmouth County school with a well-placed backhand shot just 30 seconds later.
"Right before we went on the ice we knew we had to get the energy back," DiFazio said. "I was in the middle, Corey chipped it ahead and it became a foot race. A got a stick on it, saw Lido open on a 2-on-1, gave it to him and he gave it right back. Once the goalie over-committed to my side, I went backhand through the five-hole."
St. Augustine (7-3-4) battled back again, turning the tables on its opponent with an 18-15 advantage in shots over the final two frames. It never stopped attacking and after Shortall tied the game up for a second time three minutes into the third, it was given a glorious chance to take the lead when it was blessed with a 5-on-3 man-advantage after Clifton and Nic Dietrich were sent off for cross-checking and tripping, respectively.
Christian Brothers' goaltender Brendan Behan made his best saves of the game on the power-play and his Lincroft school was rewarded in turn with its own 5-on-3 advantage after Mulhern and Jarred Hannah were whistled for consecutive minor infractions. Albano went back to work with his stellar play in between the pipes to ensure both teams would skate off in a stalemate.
"Obviously in the third with the penalties going both ways, I thought both team's special teams did a great job," Fingerhut, in his 11th season at the prestigious Richland school, said. "Both teams had good chances but it was a well-matched game, a bit of a see-saw battle but a real good hockey game back and forth."
"We'll take the point but we need to come out with better starts in the first period," LaBrosse added.
Bogan liked his team's effort but felt CBA let St. Augustine back in the game.
"St. Augustine is a good team but we let them hang around," Bogan, in his 8th season at the helm, said. "We didn't score when we had the opportunities but we're going to build on this. We're not where we want to be but we're working on it."
"Obviously it's a disappointment," Lidondici added. "We tried our best, every shift all game, but everybody's disappointed in the tie. We need to bear down and finish, bottom line."

The 2018 Breeders' Cup Turf betting tips given by Horsebetting.com experts say Enable is a worthy odds-on favourite to land the Grade 1 contest over 1m 4f at Churchill Downs on Saturday, 3 November, and round off the campaign in style. Waldgeist looks the pick of two runners for French trainer Andre Fabre and looks the obvious danger. Magical scored in good style last time out so appeals most each-way. For full details on these horses' chances, read our in-depth 2018 Breeders' Cup betting tips preview on this prestigious multi-million dollar race.Enable can create history with Breeders' Cup Turf successWonder filly Enable looks a worthy red-hot favourite to land the Grade 1 Breeder's Cup Turf over 1m 4f on a stellar card at Churchills Downs on Saturday (20:56). The John Gosden four-year-old, who is odds-on across the board, is bidding to make history in becoming the first Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner to follow-up at the prestigious American two-day meeting.
This daughter of Nathaniel became just the eighth horse to win the French feature race twice when beating Sea Of Class in a thrilling finish at Longchamp last month. She weakened close home and just held on to beat the fast-finishing runner-up by a short-neck.
Enable made far more hard work of getting the job done than 12 months earlier when simply destroying the opposition with the race staged at Chantilly then. She travelled well throughout that day on the heels of the leaders before quickening clear two from home and staying on strongly to easily beat Cloth Of Stars by 2 1/2 lengths.
Prior to that, Enable had landed four Group 1s on the bounce, including when bolting up by five lengths in The Oaks at Epsom and capturing the King George at Ascot where she handed out a 4 1/2 lengths thrashing to the very smart Ulysses.
Enable subsequently got injured and spent 342 days on the sidelines following her win in the 2017 Arc, but looked as good as ever when making her belated return to action at Kempton in September when making all to beat Crystal Ocean by 3 1/2 lengths in a Group 3.
She stretched readily clear when asked to go about her business by Frankie Dettori, who is now eight from eight on her, and Gosden said that she would come on significantly for that outing. It may well have been that she was still not at 100 per cent peak fitness when winning the Arc, so in the circumstances it was a very gutsy display to get the job done.
On form she looks a cut above her rivals and, providing this race doesn't come too soon, it looks hers for the taking. Thus Enable had to be the main selection in our 2018 Breeders' Cup Turf betting tips for another historic victory.Waldgeist the pick of Fabre pairTop French trainer Andre Fabre has won this valuable contest on three occasions, including 12 months ago with Talismanic. That one is back to defend his crown, but it's his stablemate Waldgeist that looks to hold the better claims this time round – given that he finished a fine fourth to Enable in the Arc.
After being held-up, the four-year-old was denied a clear run when making a move at the two marker but – when he did eventually see daylight – he stayed on well to be beaten just 1 1/4 lengths. Given how the race panned out it was a cracking effort, as Enable got a perfect sit throughout.
Prior to that, Waldgeist had won four group races on the bounce. They included when denying Coronet by a nose in the Group 1 Prix de Saint-Cloud, and when easily beating Talismanic by 2 1/3 lengths in the Group 2 Prix Foy at Longchamp where he forged clear in impressive fashion.
The son of Galileo has taken his form to a new level this season and another plus is that he is versatile as regards ground. Waldgeist is also a strong traveller with a smart turn of foot, and a wide draw in stall 12 may not be an inconvenience given his run style.
He doesn't have much to find on Enable judged on their clash in the Arc where he arguably would have finished close given a clear passage. So, if the filly does fail to fire, Waldgeist looks the obvious one to capitalise and is therefore feared most.Magical holds solid each-way claimsIn a race in which the European runners look a cut above the home team, Magical is another with claims and looks a solid each-way option. The filly hails from the yard of Ballydoyle maestro Aidan O'Brien, who has won the race a record six times – including four of the last seven runnings.
This daughter of Galileo was a big eye-catcher in the Arc where, after being held-up well at the rear of the 19-strong field, she kept on steadily down the wide outside to be nearest at the finish and beaten just over five lengths into 10th by Enable.
It was a terrific effort from an unpromising position, and Magical had previously shaped well when a three-length fourth to Laurens following a break in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown when badly hampered at a crucial stage.
Those runs suggested she was building up to a big performance and that view was confirmed when she stayed on strongly under Ryan Moore to beat Coronet by a length in the Group 1 Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes over 1m 4f at Ascot 14 days ago. Magical never looked like getting overhauled after taking up the running a furlong from home and was value for a bit more than the winning margin.
That was just her fourth start of the campaign, so she may well come on yet again and it's also worth bearing in mind that she had some very smart form to her name as a juvenile. Magical is also versatile as regards ground and remains unexposed over the 1m 4f trip of this after just two starts over it.
Having bagged a good draw in stall five everything looks in place for a big run; so, with Moore once again in the saddle, Magical looks capable of making the frame at least. Hence she had to be the each-way punt in our 2018 Breeders' Cup Turf betting tips.Your Next Bet
