Surrey RCMP members delivered more than 1,000 toys and $8,750 in donations to BC Children's Hospital on Tuesday.
The special delivery was in memory of six-year old Keian Blundell, who was made an honorary member of the RCMP before he died from leukemia in 2014.
Keian's Holiday Wish Toy Drive began in 2012. His wish was for every sick child to receive a gift during the holiday season.
Through the toy drive, "we carry on his desire to bring smiles to the children at BC Children's Hospital and Canuck Place Children's Hospice," said Keian's parents, Ryan and Chantal Blundell.

How did Meg Whitman's poll numbers fall? Or more accurately, what *didn't* happen in order for this perhaps signficant drop to occur?
This past week, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) came out with some rather unpleasant news for the Whitman campaign. Whitman's previously polled lead over rival Steven Poizner has noticeably dropped . According to the 41st "Californians & Their Government" report, "Support for Meg Whitman has plummeted 23 points since March" and the competition between Whitman and Poizner is at its closest level yet. 38 percent of those polled will probably vote for Whitman, while 29 percent said they would probably vote for Poizner. This is in striking contrast to previous Whitman polling leads of between 30 and 50 percent.
While this may bode ill for Whitman, this is one poll and may not actually reflect what will happen, come primary time. The PPIC poll also points out that 31 percent of those polled were not yet committed to a specific candidate. If Whitman is able to reach out and embrace right-leaning independent voters before June 8, she may have a good shot at winning. If Whitman is to win the GOP nomination, she will most likely square off with former governor and current California Attorney General Jerry Brown.
Interestingly, the poll found a number of potential voting trends, which included a male preference for Whitman, a preference by the elderly for Brown, a preference by Central Valley voters for Whitman, and a preference for Brown in the typically liberal voting areas of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The PPIC poll further found that in polling, "Whitman's support has dropped at least 17 points across all demographic groups, with the sharpest declines among those who are not college graduates (29 points) and those whose annual household incomes are at least $80,000 (28 points)." While this may seem to spell doom and gloom for Whitman, the survey still concluded that with all the drop in support, "a plurality in each group would still vote for Whitman."
On June 8, California voters will decide whether or not Meg Whitman will become the Republican Party's next nominee for the governorship. Right now, it appears that Whitman is still comfortably in the lead for the GOP nomination, but less comfortably than she was in March. With various competing explanations as to why she has dropped so much (greater exposure of Poizner to the public, anger over the use of her personal coffers a la Mitt Romney to support her run, perhaps to the tune of about $70 million, and so forth) there is no clear overarching explanation as to why Whitman's support appears to be dwindling.
It is also important to keep in mind that the PPIC report also was put together with the response of only 2,003 eligible California voters. This same organization has continued to find a more favorable rating for Brown in match-up scenarios between both Whitman and Poizner, with a wide enough margin of undecided voters to swing the contest either way.
Last Friday, the Whitman campaign emailed supporters, encouraging everyone to "make 20 calls for Meg" in the lead-up to the battle between Whitman and Insurance Commissioner Poizner for the nomination. If Whitman's campaign is lucky, those diehard supporters will start contacting those voters on the fence and convincing them why a Whitman governorship would be more advantageous than another term under Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown.

Chances are you have heard of crème pâtissière, if not by this name maybe confectioners custard or just plain old pastry cream. If you haven't heard of it before you may have already tried it without ever really knowing!
Crème pâtissière, one of the key components in the pastry world and is used as a foundation on which many other creams and fillings are made. If you have ever had a profiterole, éclair, danish pastry, galette de rois, mille-feuille, or fruit tart, you have probably already sampled the delights of this rich pastry cream!
Crème pâtissière is a thick rich creamy custard, usually flavoured with vanilla, that can be used as a base and a filling for many desserts. If you equip yourself with this recipe, you have just opened up your world to millions of dessert options.
This pastry cream is endlessly versatile you can add butter, cream, meringue, chocolate, coffee, zests, alcohols, (the list goes on and on) to create a myriad of custardy concoctions! If you can think of it, you can probably make it work with crème pâtissière.
Unlike a standard custard, this one is not thickened by eggs alone. With the addition of starch, usually in the form of flour or cornflour, we can achieve a thick, stable, full bodied crème pâtissière.
In this recipe I use either flour or Bird's custard powder depending on the intended use of our pastry cream. I can already hear the gasps and the outrage at the sheer mention of custard powder! But just hear me out before you jump ship!
When I plan on using the crème pâtissière for filling or mixing with another ingredient I stick to plain flour for thickening. This give me a lovely light coloured crème pâtissière, which is delicious but falls short when it comes to a visual impact. This often not a problem when hidden away as a filling in some sort of pastry delight!
If I am using the custard for decorating, like for the top of a tart, I use custard powder. I just find the custard powder gives the crème pâtissière a fantastic vibrant colour, which really stands out, making it ideal for presentation.
Consider it more as an ingredient that will enhance a fantastic recipe, not as means to actually make a good custard. I can assure you a good custard can not come from custard powder alone.
Watch the video, then try the recipe and see what you think, you might be surprised!
— Al Brady
300ml milk
1 vanilla pod
4 egg yolks
50g caster sugar
25g flour or custard powder
Heat the milk with the vanilla pod and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. If you don't have a vanilla pod, you can use 2tbsp of good quality vanilla extract or skip this step entirely and replace the 50g of sugar with vanilla sugar and continue as normal.
Place the egg, egg yolk, sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients together with a balloon whisk until mixture is at ribbon stage. Ribbon stage is when you lift the whisk out of the mixture it should fall slowly forming a ribbon that will hold its shape for a few minutes. It is a good indication that the sugar is dissolving in the little water the yolks provide.
Remove the vanilla pod from the milk and gradually stir the milk into the egg mixture, a bit at a time, to avoid creating any lumps. Return the mxiture to a clean saucepan and cook over a low heat stirring quickly and constantly with a balloon whisk. At this stage, the custard will appear lumpy. This is not a time to panic, this is exactly what is meant to happen! Be strong, continue to cook the custard and keep whisking. As the custard thickens it will eventually become nice and smooth. Once the custard has thicken, simmer gently for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously, in order to cook out the flour.
Once cooked pour the crème pâtissière onto a plate or into a bowl, cover the surface of the custard with cling film, to prevent a skin from forming, and leave to cool. Once the crème pâtissière has cooled, it will have firmed up and is ready to be used. Place the cooled custard into a bowl and beat vigorously to loosen the custard and use as required.
Want to flavour your crème pâtissière try these out for size...
Add 1-2 teaspoons instant coffee powder to the milk and heat up to infuse in the usual way.
Add the zest to the milk to infuse, make the crème pâtissière in the normal way and add the juice to cooked custard to taste.
Add 75g of your favourite chocolate, to the cooked custard and whisk in (off the heat) until smooth.
Add your chosen fruit puree to taste once the custard has cooled, and mix thoroughly.
Add 1tbsp of alcohol of your choice (Grand Marnier, Limoncello, Kirsch, brandy, rum, etc.) to the cooked custard while it is warm.
Feel free to add more!
This is just a small glimpse as to what can be accomplished with your crème pâtissière!
Experiment a little and create something truly delicious!

Orlando Bloom dating ex of Kerr's rumored boyfriend?
Orlando Bloom has reportedly been ''frolicking'' with Erica Packer.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actress - who got into an altercation with Justin Bieber in Ibiza in the early hours of Wednesday morning - was seen looking close to the singer on the island of Formentera on Thursday and showed no signs of being upset about his row with the teenage singer, the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column reports.
Erica is the ex-wife of Australian billionaire James Packer, who has most recently been romantically linked to Orlando's former wife Miranda Kerr.
Orlando and Justin reportedly got into a fight about Miranda - who the 'Believe' hitmaker was romantically linked with during her marriage to the British actor - at upmarket eatery Cipriani.
'The Hobbit' star attempted to punch the singer after Justin reportedly told him, ''Say hi to Miranda for me.
Miranda's lawyer previously insisted that rumors she cheated on Orlando, with whom she has three-year-old son Flynn, with the 'Confident' singer after the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2012 were ''false and defamatory.''
And the Australian beauty recently denied she and James were romantically involved.
She said: ''We've been friends for years. [Rumors] happen all the time with me, it happens to Orlando [too]. We understand it. As long as we both know [the truth], then it doesn't really matter what people think. People can speculate as much as they like.
''You're with a friend and then they assume that just because you're with a friend it's suddenly: that's your new partner. People just assume, just because you're going to have a coffee with someone or have dinner, then suddenly you're dating!''
However, earlier this week it was claimed Miranda had been making secret visits to the businessman's hotel.


text: The table constitutes two legs on either side held only by an interlocking beam running across below the table top, the table top sits on this and below the two wood pegs on either sides. But the real element which brings the whole assembly alive is the string which after passing through the top of the legs then runs below the table top and notched into place as demonstrated in the video. We wanted the rope tensioning mechanism to be a very primitive without any frills. The crotchet like tool which is also used later as a lever is used here to pull the rope through the hole in the top. This is then firmly secured after passing over the Aluminium pin. There are two provision for the C-pin, in the form of an '+' to be fixed on the table top, in case after some use the rope develops some slack, so it can be turned further 90 degrees to make it stiff again. Its minimal amount of materials and unique cantilevered construction not only make it flat-pack ready and easy to transport but comfortable and open with leg room to spare.

Porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraception was developed to provide a more humane, eff ective, and inexpensive method of population regulation for wildlife species. It has been used to regulate populations of several species including white tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), elk (Cervus elaphus), black bear (Ursus americanus), and the feral horse (Equus ferus caballus) with varying levels of success. Early studies on Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland, USA, suggested PZP was as an ideal form of fertility control because it reduced the likelihood of conception to <10%, could be delivered remotely, was thought to be reversible, lacked debilitating physiological side eff ects, could not pass through the food chain, and showed minimal eff ects to social behaviors in a closed population of feral horses. However, research on Shackleford Banks, North Carolina, USA and on 3 western populations located in Little Brook Cliff s (Grand Junction, Colorado, USA), McCollough Peaks (east of Cody, Wyoming, USA), and the Pryor Mountains (Lovell, Wyoming, USA) has revealed behavioral and physiological side eff ects of long-term PZP use. When compared to untreated mares (those that have never received treatment), treated mares demonstrated decreased fi delity to the band stallion, increased and prolonged reproductive behavior, and an increased likelihood of extending reproductive cycling into the nonbreeding season. These eff ects were more pronounced in animals receiving more total and/or consecutive contraception treatments and can persist even after several years of treatment cessation. Finally, new data indicate that these changes to previously treated mares can aff ect the behavior and stress physiology of their band stallions, demonstrating the potential for the contraception of individuals to have population-level eff ects. These results are important to consider if we are to achieve both the eff ective management of feral horse populations in addition to the maintenance of their overall health and well-being.

A Taste of Feeling Better Through Food, Art, and Health: Daily Bites Café
In April 2017, Fusebox Festival invited the Design Institute for Health to join their work with local artists and students from Eastside Memorial High School and East Austin College Prep to create a community café where art, health and food are brought together to give a taste of what can make you feel better.
The Daily Bites café served up the central question:
What can you do today to start feeling better tomorrow?
We brought in UT pharmacy students and Dell Medical School students for health screenings and consults. This prototype explored if and how art, health and food might live together and relate to each other in a community space as well as how healthcare providers might engage differently with the East Austin community.

Meet Kelly
Secretary | Executive Board Member
Kelly is a native Texan, who currently resides in New York City. She graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Political Science. Upon graduating, Kelly was an intern turned Accounting Associate on Hillary Clinton's first Presidential campaign. After which, she joined President Obama's Administration, first as a Special Assistant to the Director of Budget and Resource Management at USAID and later as the Deputy White House Liaison at the U.S. Department of State.
While Washington, DC provided many opportunities she could only have dreamed of a few years before, the pull of Texas, and her family, became too strong to ignore. With a new niece and Sister-in-Law in the picture, she returned home, bringing her experience in democratic politics with her as the Operations Director of Battleground Texas. However, the unfinished business of Hillary Clinton potentially becoming the first female President called again. Kelly moved to Brooklyn a year later to serve as the Treasury Manager at Hillary for America, where she was responsible for managing and reporting on all receivables for three separate legal entities. Now, Kelly is the Chief Operating Officer of Onward Together, a 501(c)4 social advocacy organization.
As a Leo, Kelly is fiercely loyal, passionate and outspoken. She cares deeply about her family and friends and believes we should all work towards making our country more equal, fair and just. She loves reading, wine and sarcasm. "Nothing is more important to me than family and during the 2016 campaign Pierre's brother Andrew became part of my family. I have incredible admiration for the Schreyer family and it is a great honor to be able to contribute to Pierre's legacy of love and kindness by serving as a member of the board."

NYFF: 12 Years A Slave
This film by Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame) is based on the harrowing real story and book by Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free Black man from Saratoga, NY, who is kidnapped to be sold to slave owners in the South. It is McQueen's most conventional film to date, and though it is a powerful movie that retains his trademark unflinching look at intense human suffering, this time focused on slavery, there is something stilted about it. All his movies have a paradoxical tension between extreme emotional states and aesthetic distance, which works well with their intimate scope. But this is a big period epic, and you can feel the tension between the need to tell a story in a more conventional manner and McQueen's suggestive style. There is tension, for instance, between the eloquent literary, almost theatrical dialogue, which sounds faithful to Northup's narrative, and the realistic depiction of brutality.
The most astounding scene in the movie is a wordless tableau that takes place in the middle of the film and that says more about the depravity of American slavery than anything else in the movie, or anywhere, for that matter. Were it shown separately, it would be one of the greatest short films ever made. This is the kind of condensed visual metaphor that makes McQueen an exciting director, but this style is mostly sacrificed for more straightforward storytelling, and by corollary, more commercial possibilities.
The filmmakers want to make the story accessible to the widest possible audience, which is as should be. But this responsibility to garner a wide audience presents an interesting conundrum. I could not help but think of the Holocaust, because the parallels with American slavery are many and obvious, as are the parallels on how genocidal violence is depicted in film.
Slavery is the African-American Holocaust. McQueen makes sure this is branded into our consciousness by showing episode after episode of unspeakable cruelty. Sticking closely to what Solomon Northup witnessed and lived through, the experience of this film is as close as we're ever going to be to what it was like to be a slave.
Still, cinematically, the magnitude of slavery as a crime against humanity is so unfathomable, that any attempt to dramatize it creates an obvious problem with authenticity, which is generally true of Holocaust movies as well. How, for instance, do you use music to punctuate such circumstances? Any fictional embellishment threatens to banalize the authentic depiction of historical evil. The use of well known actors becomes distracting, even if all the famous talent in this film (Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Paul Dano, Alfre Woodard) rises to the occasion. In United 93, also a movie about a historical act of human evil, director Paul Greengrass bypassed this problem by using unknown actors, giving it unquestionable verisimilitude. It worked, but nobody saw it.
This is the paradox of this film.
Perhaps this is why McQueen chose Ejiofor, a well-known British actor, but not very known here, and newcomer Lupita Nyong'o for the main slave roles. They are both very good. Solomon Northup, urbane, educated, sensitive, and appalled at his fate, learns to obey and quell his temper and dignity in order to preserve his life. He cannot fight back, so his journey is the opposite of what we are used to from cinematic heroes: from being a well rounded, accomplished human being, he needs to do less and less in order to get out alive. His heroism relies in surviving and trying to hold on to his last shred of dignity, even when forced to collude in his own dehumanization. Chiwetel gives a very empathetic performance, but there is something about a passive hero that makes it hard to connect for the audience.
Like any other form of institutionalized sadism, slavery is shown to cast not only a dehumanizing pall on slaveowners and slaves alike, but it is encased in its own bizarre bubble; an insane parallel reality. In the dissolute character of slaveowner Epps (Michael Fassbender), corrupt madness runs like a fever. Epps is an ignorant, Bible thumping drunk; cruel, childish, arbitrary. Fassbender is very good at showing his spineless weakness. There is nothing grand about him. He is at the bottom of the human totem pole, a grotesque character, a second rate bully, clearly inferior to Northup in every way.
From the beginning, McQueen establishes that slavery was unregulated capitalism at its nadir. Although he makes clear that even those who profited from it were aware of its revolting effects, even judicious people, such as Thomas Jefferson, engaged in it. It is particularly chilling to think that Northup's descent into hell, as McQueen shows with close ups of water churning through the wheels of a river boat, was only a short journey from New York to Washington D. C.. He went to dinner one day with whom he thought were potential business partners, and woke up in a dungeon in chains. There was a legal and economic system in place that allowed this to happen, and there was nothing he could do about it.
This powerlessness sparks enormous moral outrage. The film's effect is cumulative: it lashes out at you relentlessly - as life lashed out at Northup - until its cathartic ending. This is not a wishful tale about righteous white people with good intentions. It is not fiction. It is a remarkably evenhanded and perceptive eyewitness account of slavery from a survivor. The hero is a Black man, and he engineers his own survival. In this sense, 12 Years A Slave is possibly the truest film about the topic ever made.
Yet McQueen's approach, even as he meticulously documents the most harrowing scenes of cruelty, feels somehow emotionally detached. The piling up of horrors, if utterly valid and faithful to Northup's experience, makes you brace against it. Only at the end I felt a cathartic emotional release. Perhaps this is intended to mirror Solomon Northup's own journey: in order to survive, you have to harden your heart. Unlike Steven Spielberg's Amistad, 12 Years A Slave is unadorned with human pieties. It's an endurance test that shows no mercy towards the audience.
Hopefully, 12 Years A Slave will spark a serious conversation about slavery in this country. For all of our boisterous public debate about race, very little is discussed about slavery (unless, I assume, you are stuck in history class in high school). This is perplexing, to say the least. Considering how important it is a chapter of American history, more needs to be discussed. Because even today there are economic systems in place that are not too distant from slavery: the abuse of undocumented migrant workers, private prisons that profit from the wholesale incarceration of mostly Black and Latino people. The nasty unethical, yet fully legal, exploitation of certain groups continues.
This movie put a thought in my head:
The still benighted South, home of a majority of people who think universal health insurance is communism, and who'd rather die than pay taxes for a more progressive and cohesive society, should be made to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves in America. This is not a new concept, but perhaps 12 Years A Slave will bring the idea back to the table. This movie intends to reopen an old wound. I certainly hope it does.
12 Years A Slave opens October 18.

In preparation to be the featured artist at St Paul's Ward 5 office, I have just put the final touches on the my new 32" x 38" oil and mixed media on canvas painting that will make its debut at the exhibit!
I am still working on a title, but have long since referred to it as "the car painting."
Any suggestions for a title?
Many thanks to Nate Kaselnak for help with the custom-made frame and to the many friends who were subjected to my impromptu art critiques.
The images in the painting came from a number of old photographs that I acquired when I moved into my house. These are some of the snapshots that provided the inspiration and source material for "the car painting."
UPDATE: The Untitled Car Painting is now entitled: Cold Start
Cold Start was recently awarded Honorable Mention at the Extremely Minnesota Exhibit at the Robbin Gallery in Robbinsdale, Minnesota.
Prints of Cold Start are now available via Tiny Showcase! Purchase Prints here: tinyshowcase.com

The civil home has the distinct individual color, according to master's preference completely.
Hotel furniture also wants according to the hotel style to decide, although different hotel style is different, but in furniture design all should have the characteristic of elegant and common appreciation.
Because come to consumption is and the world always different countries guest, so on the details of the furniture design should notice more human, such as: small rounded square bedside table to make it, to prevent the guest accidentally bruising head;
Some power supply control switch as far as possible on the man lying on the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the place, desk or drawer equipped with a power socket, computer cable socket, guest room is neat and clean, guests using safe and convenient;
There are relatively large number of European and American guests in high-star hotels. Most of them are tall, and some of the beds can be raised appropriately, as well as sofa and chairs.
The hotel furniture line demands concise and lively, as far as possible use the concave and convex line, facilitate the attendant clean sanitation;
The civil furniture process is relatively complicated.
Material difference.
The hotel furniture is more damaged than the civilian furniture, the guests have different levels, and the concept of furniture care is not consistent, so the material requirements are very different:
1, hotel furniture, suitable for use with high hardness, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance good veneer furniture, room tea table, desk, etc., guests tend to smoke here, will accidentally burn surface of furniture, design should consider as mesa of fire prevention performance, available with fireproof performance facing material or glass;
Civilian furniture generally does not need to consider this.
Arm-chair fabrics should consider flame retardant, and civilian furniture also does not need to consider for this.
3. The waterproof and moisture-proof property of hotel furniture is good;
And the bathroom of the hotel with guest rooms, mostly affected by the wet towel, steam and seasonal change, will cause the deformation of furniture, sealing side, mildew, etc., affect the furniture appearance, damage the image of the hotel, a direct impact on the hotel occupancy rate;
Civilian furniture is relatively low.
Differences in maintenance
The hotel furniture is relatively difficult to maintain relative to civilian furniture, the owner of civilian furniture loves to cherish own property, use rise to be careful, can be separated from time to be waxed on furniture;
But hotel furniture clean workload big, real wood furniture often waxing is difficult, moreover, such as furniture cleaning not thoroughly before waxing, waxing, can make furniture surface instead of fuzzy resolution is reduced, once after waxing furniture repair damaged difficulty bigger, color, it is difficult to adsorption on the paint, so new hotel furniture as far as possible don't waxing.
However, the furniture of the hotel is made of solid wood solid wood, no paint technology, and after special waterproof treatment, its furniture is fireproof, wear-resistant, waterproof and moisture-proof, it needs no waxing and is easy to maintain.
Real wood hotel furniture we suggest to follow the following steps to do the maintenance cleaning, prepare two pieces of cloth, one is dry cleaning cloth, the other is wet cleaning cloth.
(note: the dishcloth must not be too wet, it is better to clean the dry and wet cloth after dehydration, cloth cloth should be used cotton or mercerized towel).
When cleaning, wipe off dust with dry cleaning cloth. If there is a stain, wipe it with dry wet cloth. If it is not clean, it can be dipped in water-soluble detergent.
Real wood furniture is used long, if lose the light phenomenon can consider waxing: with dry cloth to wipe, cotton and linen cloth after cleaning the dust on the surface of the furniture to furniture wax, wax or dust will cause spots, scratches.
General spray wax, water wax is ok, but must not use car wax, want to be from point to face when waxing, from shallow to deep, gradually deep, must be wiped, polish up.
And the furniture of the beautiful board type hotel, just use clean cotton hemp cloth to wipe clean can, for difficult to clean can use wet towel to dip a few dishwashing clean essence to wipe, then use dry towel dry can.

Film Noir in a Czech Castle! Noir Film Fest Returns to Křivoklát
Now it its fifth year, the unique Noir Film Festival in Křivoklát is a little different from the average Czech film festival in a couple ways.
First, as the name implies, it's all about film noir, with a focus on 1940s & '50s Hollywood pulp detective stories, but also the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Humphrey Bogart, foreign noir (including some classic 60s Czechoslovak noir), and smattering of modern neo-noir.
Second, it takes place in a majestic location: the famed Křivoklát Castle, which has stood since the 12th century. The films are not screened in the market town of Křivoklát, which surrounds the Castle, but actually inside the Castle's storied halls and courtyards, and even in places normally inaccessible to tourists.
It's a film fest like no other, and an experience well worth having. Especially if you haven't previously been to Křivoklát, which is just an hour from Prague by car.
This year's Noir Film Festival presents a range of films through sections like Trains in Film Noir, which includes classics like Richard Fleischer's The Narrow Margin and Fritz Lang's Human Desire, and Noir South of El Paso, such as Anthony Mann's Border Incident.
Other sections are dedicated to iconic actor Humphrey Bogart (High Sierra, Conflict, Key Largo, and In a Lonely Place will be screened) and director Alfred Hitchcock, a returning favorite among the festival program; Hitch classics Shadow of a Doubt (oft quoted as the director's personal favorite), Notorious, and The Wrong Man will hit Křivoklát's halls this year.
Sections with, perhaps, some lesser-known films include highlights from Mexican Film Noir (The Other One, The Kneeling Goddess) and Czechoslovak Film Noir (Ninety Degrees in the Shade, A Game Without Rules).
Special screenings include a tribute to actress Lizbeth Scott (Too Late for Tears), actor Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past), Paul Thomas Anderson's criminally underseen Pynchon adaptation Inherent Vice, and the new Slovak film The Cleaner (Čistič).
For the dedicated, the Fest will also host two marathon screenings of recent HBO shows: Steven Zallian's excellent The Night Of, and the local (and highly acclaimed) production Pustina (Wasteland) from Alice Nellis and Ivan Zachariáš.
One side note: the 12th century Castle has not been optimized for modern cinema, and some screenings may feel compromised; a presentation of Hitchcock's Spellbound last year - scheduled for the courtyard but moved inside due to the threat of rain - was hindered by sound problems as the audio reverberated throughout the Castle walls.
Still, the experience of seeing these classic films in such an iconic location is something to savor despite some small inconveniences.
This year's Noir Film Festival will run from August 17 - 20. Individual tickets to screenings can be purchased on-site during the event, and typically run from about 90 - 120 crowns per film. A festival-long Noir Pass, which grants up to 15 tickets throughout the festival, can be had for 950 crowns. More info on the Noir Film Festival official website.
If you're planning to go to the Noir Film Fest this year or in the future, or are just visiting the beautiful Křivoklát Castle for a weekend, I can heartily recommend lodging at the Orlí hnízdo Bed and Breakfast, located a scenic two-kilometer forest hike away from the Castle grounds.
Run by a Frenchman and his family who provide a delicious breakfast for guests (and an excellent selection of wines for the evening), it's been a pleasure to stay there during previous festivals.

School Grounds
Rowan tree planting 2014
As part of the Congleton WW1 Awareness & engagement group, Saint Mary's pupils helped Congleton Town Mayor Cllr Denis Murphy plant their commemorative Rowan tree in their school grounds.
The children chose to plant the tree near to their spiritual garden, so that in future they will be able to sit quietly and reflect in the shade of this special tree.
The planting with members of Class 4 was supervised by Mrs Patti Pinto and Mrs Rebecca Franklin, both School Governors at Saint Mary's. Mrs Pinto told the children that one of the reasons that the rowan was chosen for the commemoration was for the bright red berries which will seen every autumn. The tree will be a lasting reminder of centenary of the start of WW1.
Patti said, "It was a privilege to plant one of the 100 commemorative Rowan trees in our school grounds. We thank WW1 A&E group Chairman Margaret Williamson for arranging for all Congleton Schools to receive a tree, SAS Daniels for funding the trees and the Streetscape team for delivering the tree to our school."

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
Porn clickjat Trojan
Porn clickjat Trojan is not exactly a completely new malicious application. It is just another name of Kele55, which is known to be an advertising-supported application (adware). A new name has been given to it because it has turned out that it might perform more malicious activities next to generating and displaying commercial advertisements. Luckily, it is not that hard to find out whether or not Porn clickjat Trojan is installed on the computer. Once this infection enters the system, it creates an entry in Control Panel. Most probably, it will be listed as Kele55, but it would still be best that you inspect all installed programs even if you cannot locate this entry. If it has turned out that Porn clickjat Trojan is installed, remove it immediately – it is the only way to disable it and put an end to all activities it performs. It should be possible to remove it in an ordinary way, i.e. using Control Panel. Feel free to use the manual removal guide you will find below if you have never erased any undesirable software in your life and need some help.
Users get infected with Porn clickjat Trojan when they install an application for video chatting online, but, as research carried out by specialists working at pcthreat.com has shown, it might slither onto users' computers without their knowledge as well. In other words, you might one day discover it installed on your PC out of the blue. It seems that Porn clickjat Trojan targets Chinese-speaking users primarily, but it does not mean that users with no command of Chinese cannot install/get infected with it as well. Usually, it does not take long to find out about the successful entrance of this malicious application because it starts showing various annoying ads right away. You might see pop-ups, banners, and many other types of advertisements on your screen. According to researchers, you might even see ads promoting adult content/websites. As mentioned in the first paragraph, it is, unfortunately, not the only activity Porn clickjat Trojan performs on affected computers. Just like other Trojan infections, it might be used to collect information about users, including personal details that can identify them, download malicious software without permission, and, finally, create backdoors on affected computers so that cyber criminals behind it could take advantage of the compromised system. Generally speaking, the presence of Porn clickjat Trojan can only bring serious problems, so there is nothing smart about keeping it installed, believe us.
Let's turn to the Porn clickjat Trojan distribution. We are sure this information might help some users to prevent this infection from entering the system. Mainly, this threat is spread via malicious installation packages. Second, since it has an official website (http://kele55.com), there is no doubt that some users download it from this source and then install it on their PCs consciously. Of course, they do not know that the downloaded application is malicious software. Instead, they believe that they have downloaded useful software until they start seeing irritating ads. There is nothing easy about recognizing malicious software. Harmful infections always pretend to be useful software, so we do not expect that you will protect the system from all kinds of threats all alone. Instead, we highly recommend installing a reputable security application. The sooner you install it, the sooner your system will be immune to malware. Do not forget that you still have to follow the safe web browsing practice as well. In other words, you should leave shady websites immediately and do not download software from it. Also, it would be best that you completely ignore random advertisements you find displayed on your screen while surfing the Internet. Last but not least, ignore all attachments spam emails sent to you hold.
You must remove Porn clickjat Trojan right away if you have detected it on your system. It is considered serious malware, but we are sure you will manage to erase it from the system yourself manually. It should not be too hard to get rid of it if you know how to erase programs using Control Panel. We have also prepared the manual Porn clickjat Trojan removal guide below for inexperienced users. Alternatively, you can clean your system automatically. You only need to have a reputable antimalware tool to do so.

Starting the Discussion
What changes does this spring bring to your notebooks?
Spring usually sees a refreshed interest in nature journals for all of us, as we start weekly wildflower hunting and watch trees re-leaf. It does in your homes too, based on what I see in the #keepingcompanycm feed!
We have also all been busy in our Books of Centuries, which is our new addition for 2018. It always feels exciting to start making connections in a new form.
As I mentioned on Instagram, the Book of Centuries is my personal goal for this year -- to get mine started and actually get some ink in there! ;) I have done the first faithfully (lots of entries so far, including a couple drawings), but no pen yet. Baby steps. :)
From the Community
On Instagram, @keepingcompanycm has featured lots of mama-keepers as well as student work.
We spent a few weeks discussing keeping goals for the new year...
The ever-keeping Mariah shared about her "keeping hour." (If you'd like more info, check out the follow-up post she did at Ladydusk!)
And a few other fresh ideas I wanted to highlight...
|favorite quotes -- like a Book of Mottoes? by @owl_creek_homestead
|the start of a family Calendar of Firsts - a poster on the wall, by @lauren.keptandkeeping
|embroidered phenology wheel, by @northlaurel
|mama as "detailer," by @accidentalstars
From the Charlotte Mason blogsosphere...
Annie Kate is hoping to strart a Book of Centuries in earnest, but in the meantime, she shares her nature walks in winter. (This reminds me of the science journal entries we have been doing alongside A Drop of Water.)
Carol tracks the idea of "interior riches" through literature to inform her understanding of Mother Culture -- fascinating!
She also has fabulous examples of science journals from older students up. (Side note: she kindly let me use some as examples in my notebook talk for CM West! They really show the mark of interest, observation, and skill.)
Amy hosts a fascinating discussion of work and leisure...spurred on by a commonplace quote from Swiss Family Robinson.
I did a post on getting started with lettering recently. If you (or your kids) are wanting to add a bit of extra style to your notebooks, take a peek!
And one last thing I'd like to highlight from this quarter: my talk on keeping at the CM West retreat! Dozens of beautiful examples from a variety of families.
And now it's your turn!
The Link-Up
:: For BLOGGERS: Leave a link to any blog posts related to CM-style keeping in the comments section of this post all quarter. I will be sure to click over and read so I can highlight them here in the next edition!
:: For INSTAGRAMMERS: Tag related photos with #KeepingCompanyCM. You can also follow my new account: @keepingcompanycm. I will be re-sharing daily on that account from posts tagged!
:: Any posts about CM-style Keeping are welcome. Your post can be as simple as a photo of your commonplace book or your kids' drawing.

8) Divide the dough into four equal sections.
9) Place each piece onto a well-floured surface and roll out into a rough disc approximately 1cm thick. Be careful not to roll it too thin or you may have problems forming the tart.
10) Place a handful of the apple slices in the centre of each dough disc (either arrange in a pretty shape or just go rustic).
11) Bring the edges of the dough up the the apples, covering them a little but allowing a large gap around the top.
12) Brush each tart with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle generously with the demerara sugar.
13) Bake for 20-30 minutes until the tarts are golden brown and the apple is cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
14) To make the sauce add the blackberries and orange zest to a pan with a splash of water.
15) Cook gently until the fruit breaks down and allow the water to reduce slightly.
16) Add the maple syrup and cook for a minute or two longer until the sauce thickens.
17) Set aside to serve warm or store in a jar for later.
18) Serve the tarts with the sauce and a little crème fraiche or ice cream if you like.

School Advisory Council/ School Advisory Forum
School Advisory Council (SAC):
The School Advisory Council shall be the sole body responsible for final decision-making at the school relating to implementation of ss.1001.42(18) and1008.345.U The SAC is composed of parents, teachers, community members, school administrators, non-instructional support staff, and other stakeholders who meet regularly to establish priorities, set annual objectives, and monitor action steps for school improvement.How can parents get involved and participate in the SAC committee?Parents are encouraged to attend the monthly meeting of the SAC committee at their child's school.
Why is it important for parents to be active participants?
* The SAC committee provides a place where parents can voice their opinions and suggestions. They have an active role in making decisions that will best serve the students.
* SAC also gives the opportunity for parents to actively participate in setting goals and making plans to achieve those academic goals.
* SAC allows for parents to identify issues that need to be addressed concerning the school climate.
School Advisory Forum (SAF):
School Board policy requires that each school have a School Advisory Forum (SAF) composed of parents, teachers, community members, school administrators, non-instructional support staff, and other stakeholders. The SAF provides an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss and recommend actions on a variety of school issues.The School Advisory Forum (SAF) shall foster and promote communication between its stakeholders, the school, and the Area Advisory Council. The SAF shall bring forth recommendations, concerns and interests to and from their Area Advisory Council.
* Plan, develop, and implement parent/community programs and training activities.
* Address parent/community concerns; work with administration to solve problems and initiate desired changes.
* Identify and coordinates the use of community resources to improve student achievement and school effectiveness.
* Participate in increasing/sustaining high levels of community support for the school.
* Assist SAC in identifying the educational needs and priorities of the school.
* Participate in the preparation of the budget, and review budget related concerns.

What can be accomplished if I participate in SAF?
Over the years, it has been parents, teachers, community members, etc. who have made positive changes in schools. These changes can be at the school level, district level, state level and within the community or city. From the school level, parents like you made the following changes:
* Instead of having social security number to identify children, the schools now use a new randomly generated number to prevent identify theft and other privacy issues.
* Defibrillators are now at every high school. A defibrillator is a machine used to shock the victim's heart and restore the heart's normal rythmic patterns. When a defibrillator is used, it in effect kicks the heart into action again, causing it to resume sending blood throughout the body. This was needed specifically due to incidents during athletic activities.

Ex-Miami Hurricane Michael Irvin named in sexual harassment lawsuit against NFL Network
Former University of Miami Hurricanes football player and Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin is one of two former NFL players named in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
According to USA Today, former NFL Network employee Erin McParland contended that she was "subjected to ongoing and continuing sexual harassment by current and former on-air talent and other employees" when she worked there for about two years. In relation to Irvin, the lawsuit contends McParland told him multiple times to "not touch" her and that Irvin "made inappropriate gestures and comments to [McParland] and once grabbed [McParland's] waist."
Eric Davis, a former NFL All-Pro defensive back, was also named in the suit, according to USA Today.
This is the second lawsuit filed against the NFL Network over the past year. In December, Jami Cantor, a former wardrobe stylist for the network, stated that she was harassed during her extended time with the network. Three analysts and former players named in the suit — Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor and Heath Evans — were suspended by the network. Two others named in that suit — Davis and Donovan McNabb — had moved on to work at ESPN before the suit was filed. ESPN fired both of them.
Irvin is still employed at NFL Network.

Hollywood actor Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino has some unexpected heat on his head. Speculation has developed about the hip-hop star possibly stealing his woke af "This Is America" song from another musician.
This week, the Internet noticed major undeniable common factors between Gambino's hit record and New York hip-hop artist Jase Harley's previously released "American Pharaoh."
The allegations arose on Instagram and Reddit as listeners pointed out similarities between "This is America" and "American Pharaoh" by New York rapper Jase Harley. In response to a tweet from user Ahmed/Toronto Akademiks/Every White Blogger, Glover's creative partner, Fam Rothstein (a co-producer of the "This is America" video and co-principal in the Wolf + Rothstein creative agency alongside Glover and Wolf Taylor), issued a denial. (Consequence of Sound)
[Childish Gambino: 5 Things You (Probably) Didn't Catch In "This Is America" Video]
A few hours ago, Harley went to Instagram to take credit for inspiring Gambino and said he didn't have any smoke for him.
I feel extremely humbled to be recognized and labeled as one or the original inspirations for one of the most important pieces of music and visual art of our time. I appreciate all the love and support! But PLEASE DON'T let this controversy dilute the message me and @childishgambino are trying to convey. We are speaking about injustices we've encountered and he's helped to provide a platform for all our voices to be heard. Let's not discredit him for that! The focus should be on affecting change in our communities and building equality. This is bigger than me and him and bigger than music. Let's not lose focus 🙏🏾 #noonewinswhenthefamilyfeuds #futurists
The up-and-coming hip-hop artist has also reportedly shared positive feedback with fans asking him about Gambino possibly jacking his work.
While Childish Gambino, AKA Donald Glover, has yet to address the allegations, New Jersey- based Jase said he noticed the similarities as soon as he heard This Is America and wished that Childish Gambino had given him the credit he deserved. 'Yeaaa lol it's cool tho.. glad they liked my song. It's all love,' he told fans in a series of Instagram comments as the controversy boiled over on social media. 'A shout out would be cool. All good tho… he's a great artist, dope I could've had some influence on the record. (Metro)
Back in May, Donald Glover kept his lips sealed about detailing the motivation behind creating "This Is America."
E! caught up with Glover on the red carpet of the 2018 Met Gala and asked the artist behind Childish Gambino what his intentions were when writing "This Is America" and filming its instant-classic music video. Glover responded with self-aware and politically-charged misdirection: "I just wanted to make, you know, a good song. Something people could play on Fourth of July." (Indie Wire)

the famous RuPaul's Drag Race premiered in February 2009 and it quickly became the phenomenal critically acclaimed show it is today.
Beginning of 2015 we managed to highjack the mainstage of Melkweg (prior showtime kick off) that was hosting the Rupaul's Drag Race: Battle Of The Seasons and portrait the contestants to become 'America's Next Drag Superstars' with celebrities such as Alaska Thunderfuck 5000, Sharon Needles, Adore Delano and Bianca del Rio.
Sadly we had very little time to shoot as the Stars where busy shoulder rubbing with overexcited VIP fans but i think we captured the true essence of what it means be become a Super Drag and Idol for thousands of fans around the world.

How can I get rid of spots that are under the skin?
Classic Facials
Oxygen Facials
They are under the skin and never surface however my skin is really bumpy esp around my chin?
Asked by Rachael84

Top answer
Hello Rachel,
The first thing to do is to work out what is causing these spots, in order to work out how to best get rid of them. How long have you had this problem? It sounds like the problem may be hormonal so if you have recently been experiencing hormonal change, for example starting or stopping the contraceptive pill or extreme stress, this could result in these kind of spots, particularly if the worst area is on your chin.
Alternatively it could be due to a change in diet or have you changed any of your skincare products?
The best thing I would recommend would be to use a gentle, creamy cleansing product morning and evening and spend a little extra time massaging into the affected area. Use small, gentle movements to avoid over-stimulating your skin and work outwards from the centre of your face to the hairline. You may not need any moisturiser at all or at least use very little on the affected area and make sure you don't use any products with pore-blocking ingredients. Also, use a gentle exfoliating product a couple of times a week to remove dead skin cells that block the pores and a deep cleansing mask around once a week on the bumps.
Ensure you always use clean hands, make-up brushes etc. to avoid spreading the bacteria. Facial Manual Lymphatic Drainage is fantastic for clearing up problem skin. I could go on for ages about different things you could do but hopefully this helps a little!
Best Wishes,

I have small spots under my skin at the top of my thigh.. I have had operation on getting my ovaries out and flopion tube's out the spots are on my hands as well..
I really like dermalmd anti-aging serum. It has helped break down some spots on my face and I really like the serum texture and smell! It seems to be working well on the fine wrinkles also!
I strongly recommend using face wash
you might already, but you need a dermatologist one. This helps me, also drinking more water is a big part of the key to getting rid of your blind pimples. If none of this works, consider your diet. This can highly contribute to spotty skin!
I keep getting very large under the skin spots when I'm due on my period on my chin
Dermacure worked wonders for my skin imperfections.
i thought your readers would want to know.
many things cause spots under the skin
may be hormonal and you may notice they get worse at certain times of the month i.e premenstrual.
other causes may be adult acne which can be treated with various different treatments.
alternatively it may be clogged pores
either way you need to see someone face to face
Normally spots under the skin are related to either hormonal issues but primarily to dietary intake. Avoid sweets, dairy and fast foods and eat plenty of vegetables cooked as ell as uncooked. The oils you eat must be unrefined oils, refrain from eating crisps. A blood purifyer often helps but it can worsen in the beginning but then clear up. See a herbal medical practitioner and/or look up burdock root, zinc and vitamin b complex.
Hi Rachael! Spots can be a real pain and affect your confidence, but there are many things you can do to improve them. Try some targeted skincare to maintain results every day and prepare skin for treatment, Salycylic Acid is especially good for clearing spots and breakouts. Try Microdermabrasion to deeply exfoliate and clean bacteria from the skin. This would also improve and reduce the bumpy texture you describe. A light peel would also assist with this. Also you may find an Intense Pulsed Light treatment will be effective - for active acne breakouts you would need Blue Light technology to break bacteria cycle and clear the skin.
Hi Tracey, I have thought about those kind of treatments however I wasnt sure if I would have to avoid the sun ???
Clarify 'spots' UNDER the skin??? If you are refering to raised areas on the skin, then you might be refering to clogged pores, papules, macules, etc. (Raised, bumpy areas under the skin.) If this is what you are refering to, then you may want to begin with a deep-cleansing facial, followed with a salycilic chemical peel. Extractions are needed only if any of the lesions have a white head. If not, you may want to continue with a high frequency treatment. Afterwhich, you would need to compliment these procedure with a home care regime that contains glycolic, salycilic, or both. Do not over stimulate the skin when cleansing.
Typically, when one refers to 'spots' on the skin, they are refering to hyperpigmentation on the surface of the skin, not necessarily underneath. For this problem, you will want to begin using products containing ingredients such as glycolics, hydroquinone, retinols, etc.
To add to Rachels answer, I would also try steaming your face with hot towels or by using just boiled water in a big bowl and putting your face over to steam your face for about 5 mins.
For best results, do this after cleansing (preferably a double cleanse) and then exfoliate afterwards then moisturiser to finish. This will help open the pores and prepare your skin for a good exfoliation to remove those dead skin cells.
Spots that are under the surface of the skin are know to us Therapists as congestion and they need to be brought up to the surface and out of the skin. Following this cleansing routine should help.
Also take a look at your diet- make sure it is well balanced and you are drinking plenty of water.
Hope this helps

Do oxygen facials actually work?
It's a weird premise, but turns out, spraying a highly-concentrated stream of oxygen molecules to the skin's epidermis can make it glow – a lot.

This case takes place in Missouri and involves a woman who was injured while employed as a construction consultant on a commercial construction project. On the day of the accident, the defendant was operating a forklift in order to offload pallets of construction materials. She was traveling along the periphery of the construction site when she struck the plaintiff while carrying a full load of materials. As a result of the incident, plaintiff sustained severe injuries including several broken vertebras, and will be unable to return to her former job. It is alleged that the defendant was not properly operating the forklift and failed to take the proper precautions to avoid this incident.
Question(s) For Expert Witness
- 1. Do you have knowledge of the proper steps and protocols to follow when operating a forklift?
- 2. Have you ever served as an expert on a similar forklift case? If so, please explain.
Expert Witness Response E-009380
I have operated forklifts in industry as well as being in charge of of safety in several operations utilizing forklifts. I was the Director of Product Safety for a manufacturer of forklifts and other industrial equipment My duties required a detailed knowledge of forklift safety practices as well as applicable OSHA and ANSI standards and industry practices. As a consultant, I have consulted and testified on accidents involving injuries caused by pedestrian collisions with fork trucks as well as other machinery. The industry standards and procedures are replete with warnings and instructions to avoid machine collision with personnel. as a general thing It is the duty of the employer or facility operator to provide a safe workplace and safe procedures. There are plenty of warnings and instructions for the fork truck operators to look out for pedestrians but depending on circumstances, the pedestrian may have some responsibility for his/her own safety.
Expert Witness Response E-019392
I have operated forklifts since 1985 and have been a forklift trainer since 1994. I would like to know if / what training was provided to the employee, safety protocols that were set by the company, condition of forklift and how often it was inspected. Was the driver moving product, was his view blocked? What was the area of operation, inside / outside, was it an aisle or was it an open area? Each have set protocols. The short answer is the a forklift driver should not operate in an area while pedestrians are present, and it sounds like the company had an untrained employee operating the forklift and there could be an unsafe culture within the company.

William Mathews, Jr. '40
Date of birth: August 4, 1916
Date of death: November 9, 1942
Age: 26
William Hooker Mathews, Jr. was admitted to the Naval Academy from New York on June 15, 1936 at age 19 years 10 months. He was honorably discharged on July 8, 1937 for reason: "Honorably discharged on account of physical disability incurred in line of duty."
Lucky Bag
William Hooker Mathews, Jr. is listed on the page titled "And Some We Knew."
From the March 1943 issue of Shipmate:
WILLIAM H . MATTHEWS, JR., '40. It is with great sorrow that Shipmate announces that Bill was reported missing in action as of Nov. 9, 1942, and in view of the lapsed time has now been posted to the Official Casualty List.
Bill enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in late 1940 after refusal to the part of the Navy Department to accept him for flight training at Pensacola.
He was commissioned as a Pilot Officer about September 1941 and transferred to the R.A.F. Coastal Command for patrol duty off of Prince Edward Island.
In April 1942, he was posted to England, flying a bomber across with his specially trained crew, serving for a period in the Coastal Service off England and later based at Londonderry.
From there, he was posted early in the past summer to Gibraltar and reassigned shortly after that to Malta.
Late in October 1942, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, full details of which we do not have.
He is listed on a memorial marker in Malta.
His entry in the Canadian Virtual War Memorial is here. He was a member of No. 69 Squadron (RAF).
Prior to attending the Naval Academy, he attended the University of Michigan from 1934-1936.
His parents lived in California, though possibly originally from Connecticut.
Memorial Hall Error
William was a Flight Officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force, not a LCDR, USN. This was correctly reflected in the Honor Roll in the March 1944 issue of Shipmate.
Class of 1940
William is one of 91 members of the Class of 1940 on Virtual Memorial Hall.

The original programme was 24 months. Holmes finished the project after an acceleration request from the Client in 22.5 months. This was achieved through practical management systems, effective planning of the works and the commitment, experience and skill of Holmes' Site Management Team and the company as a whole.
This project included four 15 storey towers on a 2 storey podium. The podium footprint covered the entire site; the site having two of its boundaries facing council roads, and two abutting adjacent buildings. The Tower Crane for the project was erected through the podium structure. Safety of the Public was a major consideration with high-rise construction bounding the very busy Taranaki Street and the very narrow but also very busy Egmont Street.

Nuclear Power Revival Could Encounter Hurdles
Tight Uranium Supplies, Scarce Processing Facilities May Hurt Bush Energy Plan

In a recent setback, an accident in October flooded the world's largest uranium mine, which was set to open in Canada next year. That nudged prices for processed uranium ore, already up more than 800% since 2001, even higher....

Against expectations of a rise, UK inflation remained steady at 2.4% in October, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics.
Joel Dungate, Investment Analyst, said: "With the latest figures showing consumer prices stayed flat at 2.4% in October, some people are asking whether inflation has peaked. It reached a five-year high of 3.1% last November, driven by Sterling's decline following the Brexit vote, but since then has steadily declined towards the Bank of England's 2% target.
"Whether inflation has peaked or not, then, will probably largely depend on the outcome of the Brexit deal. Any deal considered unfavourable by investors will result in further Sterling weakness and a likely rise in inflation. In the meantime though, with separate figures showing wages grew at their fastest pace for a decade, consumers will hopefully start noticing an increase in their purchasing power."
