A COUNCIL has ordered a shopkeeper to remove England flags from outside his business because they break health and safety rules.
Phil Moffat hoisted 20 flags from lamposts outside his shop in Tuebrook, Liverpool to celebrate St George's Day, which takes place on Saturday.
But within hours of the flags going up, he was visited by Liverpool City Council's Environmental Enforcement Co-ordinator.
Mr Moffat, who has flown the flags from the same lamposts for the last five years, was ordered to remove them or face a bill of é1,000 for the council to do so.
Today he vowed to invoke the bulldog spirit of Winston Churchill, after whom his shop - Churchill's Food Emporium - is named, and defy the flag ban.
He said: "It has really come to something when a proud Englishman can't raise a few flags to celebrate St George's Day.
"I have put these flags up every year for the last five years. I only leave them up for one week and then I take them down.
"After all, Irish tricolours were flying from lamposts along Scotland Road and Vauxhall Road during St Patrick's Day.
"I would like to know whether they were threatened with a é50 charge per flag to remove those.
"I have no intention of removing the flags and if the council take them down, I have plenty more to put back up. If they ask me for any money, they can whistle for it."
Should people be encouraged to celebrate the feast of St George? Have your say.

If you need any further evidence of how stressful traveling can be around the holidays, look no further than the famous documentary Home Alone. The compounding pressure of flying around the holidays manifests itself in the form of a child being left at home to deal with a pair of inept burglars. With proper planning, this fiasco could be avoided entirely; so that you don't end up like the McCallister family, you should select an airline that isn't going to wreck your holiday plans. (If you're looking to make plans outside of the U.S. for this holiday season, these international airlines are always a great option.)
Forbes' Grant Martin analyzed data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, looking at the 2014-2016 holiday seasons, in order to figure out which carrier is best when it comes to traveling during this special time of year. The rankings took into account on-time performance, as well as the quality of loyalty programs and global product updates.
According to the Department of Transportation, an "on-time" arrival occurs when a plane reaches the gate within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time. The most punctual airline of all U.S. carriers was Hawaiian, which had an average on-time holiday arrival time of 88.32 percent. The next most timely air carrier was Delta, however, Martin did not mention Delta's specific on-time percentage. Frontier came in last in on-time performance, with just 73.17 percent of its flights delivered on time.
Now that you know which airlines are the best at getting you to your destination on time, learn about some of the wackiest and bizarre reasons flights are delayed in the first place.

Have you ever set a big goal for yourself, spent a long time preparing for it, and then finally had the joy of achieving that goal? Perhaps it was a goal of going to back to school, making a move to a new home, retiring, going on a special trip, changing careers, getting in shape, or running your first 10K race or first marathon. Six years ago I set a goal of riding my bike from my home in Milwaukee, WI to Fish Creek, a quaint little town in Door County, the "thumb" of WI, where my wife and I spend two weeks each year. After years of wanting to make this ride, I determined earlier this summer that this would be the year I would attempt it. I started training, putting in lots of extra miles on my bike. I studied maps and plotted my route along remote country roads so as to avoid as much traffic as possible. I spent extra time at the bike shop picking up some last minute tips from experienced riders who had done similar kinds of rides and I am happy to report that I completed my ride and accomplished my six year goal this past week.
There are many memorable experiences I could lift up from my fourteen hour ride, but the one that I want to reflect on here is the overwhelming and completely unexpected encouragement I received from perfect strangers along the way.
I made frequent stops for food and drink in many small towns on my route, and in every town I met people who asked me where I was headed. Apparently, I was not the first biker to make this journey as the locals seemed to be used to meeting bikers who were passing through. Several times when stopped on the side of the rural roads to rest and take a drink, strangers in cars, and even a farmer on a tractor stopped and asked me if everything was alright. One passerby even offered me a bottle of water he had in his car. The support of the strangers I met along the way, along with the support of my wife and friends, is what gave me the inspiration to complete my goal.
All of this reminded me once again of the power and blessing we can be to one another by offering the simple act of encouragement. It reminded me that when any of us has an important goal we are seeking to attain, or when we have an important journey that we need to make, whether it be a literal journey or a metaphorical journey, we need to let others know about our dreams and to surround ourselves with others who can encourage us.
My experience this week served as a reminder to me to offer words and acts of encouragement to those in my life, those I know are going through a challenging time or are seeking to meet a new challenge in their lives. It reminded me that giving encouragement can truly help people accomplish things they are not sure they can do on their own.
Who do you know right now that needs a little extra encouragement? What might you do to cheer on someone who needs support right now? My experience this week not only with family and friends, but with total strangers opened my eyes. It has inspired me to look around and see who needs a little extra encouragement. Going forward I will not only be looking at my friends and family and wondering what support they need, but I will also look at the mother struggling with her toddler in the grocery store, the person who needs a hand crossing a busy street, and others, both known or unknown to me, who happen to cross my path and could benefit from a little extra support. And whenever I see a biker stopped along the side of a country road, I will most certainly stop to offer him or her a little encouragement and if I have one, a cold bottle of water.

Cynthia was born to parents Charles and Alice Johnson on August 11, 1928 in Auburndale, MA. She was raised in the Congregationalist faith, and would later reflect that she felt a call toward ministry as early as childhood: Her mother died when Cynthia was only five, raising "existential questions" that she believed faith could help her answer. In 1950 Cynthia earned a Bachelor of Arts from Douglass College (now Douglass Residential College) in New Brunswick, NJ. A year later she married her beloved husband Jack Ward, beginning a marriage that would last over 50 years.
Before her children were born, Cynthia worked as a journalist and editor; later she taught high school English, and earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from Trenton State College in 1975. Having transitioned with Jack away from the faith traditions of their childhoods and finding a spiritual home in Unitarian Universalism, Cynthia served as a religious educator at her congregations throughout the 60s and 70s. In 1975 she became the RE Coordinator at the Unitarian Church of Princeton (now the UU Congregation of Princeton), NJ, a position she would hold for seven years. After a time, however, Cynthia began to pursue her call toward ministry in earnest. She carried out her ministerial internship at the First UU Church of Essex County, N.J. from 1983 to 1984, and received a Master of Divinity from New Brunswick Theological Seminary in 1984. Finally on November 17, 1985 Rev. Ward was ordained by the Princeton congregation.
After ordination, Rev. Ward first spent a year as the Interim Minister at the First Unitarian Society of Westchester in Hastings-On-Hudson, NY, after which she served the First Unitarian Congregational Society of Brooklyn, NY as their Minister of Religious Education. Rev. Ward then returned to the Westchester congregation, ministering there from 1989 to 1992. Finally in 1994 she returned to the First UU Church of Essex County in Orange, NJ, serving the congregation for three years. Rev. Ward retired in 2000, but remained active in her congregations, most recently at the UU Congregation of Asheville, NC.
Outside of her ministry, Cynthia was a great appreciator of the arts: She enjoyed attending concerts and the theatre, as well as visiting art museums, galleries, and shows. She also took great pleasure in walking and biking, gourmet cooking, reading, and writing poetry. Additionally, Cynthia was a mentor to many women seeking professions in ministry and religious education at a time when many women met resistance entering these roles and being taken seriously. But by far her greatest joy was found in spending time with her loving family, who note that it is probably no coincidence that Cynthia's five children found their own lives' callings in ministry, education, and the arts.
In reflecting on her denomination and ministry, Cynthia once offered the following:
I believe the challenge of being a Unitarian Universalist is the challenge of discovering just what it is you do believe and how that belief/beliefs can be alive in your life. As a minister I believe in the challenge of creating a community of faith, hope, justice, and love… As a minister I believe in enabling persons to that challenge, that grows and changes in the life of the community and in the lives of the persons involved with that community. We come together today to make our visions into tomorrow's reality.
Cynthia's daughter, Rev. Lisa Ward, had these lovely words to say about her mother:
A lover of learning, mom remained curious in and embracing of life throughout her years. She drank in poetry, and wrote it well. She loved art and deeply engaging conversations. Ever searching spiritually, she expressed her findings to the delight of others. I learned many things from my mother. I will ever hold her in my heart.
Cynthia is survived by children Mark, Keith, Terry, Lisa, and Scott Ward, as well as by seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Jack Ward.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the UU Congregation of Asheville, 1 Edwin Place, Asheville, NC 28801; and to the Brooks-Howell Home, 266 Merrimon Ave., Asheville, NC 28801.
A memorial service will take place at 3pm on Saturday, July 22, in the chapel at the Brooks-Howell Home (address just above).
Notes of condolence can be sent to Mark Ward at 60 Elk Mt. Scenic Highway, Asheville, NC 28804.

Saving the Children with A Drop Of Acoustic Music
So, I heard there was some sort a gig going on at the Worcester Arts Workshop. We had a bit of trouble with the lighting desk the previous week and me being their occasionally resident sound and lighting guy, I thought I'd better get down there and make sure they had some stage lighting. And I'm so glad I did as I was able to enjoy a wonderful evening of live acoustic music courtesy of 'A Drop In The Ocean'.
Jack Monopoli kicked off the gig with a rather stunning acoustic solo spot.Being the organiser of the gig he could have put himself anywhere on the bill but chose to go on first. This guy has talent. He is a very fine guitarist and a passionate and expressive vocalist. Mainly doing self penned tunes but also throwing in a rather nice acoustic version of King of the Swingers.
Next up was singer songwriter Connie Gordon. Simple guitar playing lovingly complemented by her wonderful voice held the audiences attention throughout. Her vocals sounded wonderful echoing through the theatre, partly thanks to the sound engineering skills of a certain Mr Tyler Massey.
The next guy, Tobias Robertson had come all the way from Newport just for tonight. Playing a set of originals except for a truly mesmerizing version of You've Got a Friend. You get the feeling that he was holding his vocals back and you can just imagine how powerful he could be had he not been confined to an intimate acoustic gig. In fact you can see what he can do by checking out his performance on the voice. (watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlpG05llZQ4&sns=em or at the bottom of the page)
Oh and apparently he is Cilla Blacks great nephew.
Previously on this blog I mentioned a girl called Eva who played the Lazy Sunday a couple of weeks back. Well tonight we were treated by the full band, The Blue Dive. Three piece of vocals / guitar, bass and guitar. Some rather nice sounds coming from the band with subtle lead guitar and complimentary bass delicately backing up the distinctly sublime vocals and rhythmic acoustic guitar up front.
Headliners Fallen Branches, a brand new lineup bought a touch of Americana to the night. Three seasoned and talented musicians with whole heap of great tunes … and only 24 hours as a band to rehearse together.
Upbeat numbers like Highway 61 ran alongside the more mellower Fumbling With the Blues (A Tom Waits track) and Everybody Gotto Learn and Magnets (or was it Maggots? – I really should have asked the band). Add to the mix some damn catchy numbers like Dirty Little Secret and Come On Over to the House (another by Tom Waits) and you have a highly enjoyable set… somehow made even more enjoyable when the band threw in a number that the bass player didn't even know and could only play along when Tyler (guitar/vocals) told him the notes.
Over all a great night of acoustic music and for a good cause too. This was a gig in support of Save The Children. If you weren't there (then shame on you) and want to donate to the charity you can do so by clicking here. Www.savethechildren.org.uk
disclaimer – sorry about the crap photos. I'd left my decent camera at home.

Al-Maktoum at Monifieth
Linda, the recruitment and marketing officer at Al-Maktoum, delivered some great Developing the Young Workforce engagement at Monifieth High School.
Using her own experiences, both as an applicant and a recruiter, Linda spoke to a class of S5 pupils about the importance of personal statements and interviews, whether for university/college applications or for jobs.
Linda led discussions about why we use personal statements and how to make yours stand-out over others, as well as the clichés to avoid. Linda then explored interviews; the different types of interviews used, the best way to prepare for an interview and the things to remember on the day, including what to wear, body language and some questions to ask. The session closed with discussions about what individual strengths and skills each pupil has, and what they should include in their personal statements.
This type of work is incredibly valuable as it informs and prepares the students with realistic experience and expectations. If you would like to get involved in Developing the Young Workforce, please don't hesitate to get in contact.

Learn how to turn your story ideas into scripts, your scripts into thumbnail sketches, and your thumbnail sketches into finished comic pages in this six-week course!
If you've always wanted to learn how to make your own comics, or are interested in learning more about visual storytelling, Making Comics is a perfect introductory course designed to get you producing comics. Over six weeks, you'll learn about scripting, planning and designing your characters, environments, and panels, the ins, and outs of the comic production process, traditional inking techniques, and assembling your comic into a printed mini-comic for exchange. For students interested in a deeper dive, there are additional materials for the course from the instructor available online via blog posts and YouTube videos.
During this class, we're going to cover the basics of human anatomy for cartooning, an introduction to perspective for constructing backgrounds, and an exploration of traditional inking materials such as technical pens, brush pens, inking nibs, and brushes.
Even if you're already making comics, this class provides an excellent opportunity to meet other comic artists, create comics in a friendly setting, hone your skills, and seek critique. Feel free to work at your own pace in a welcoming environment, or work along with the structure of the class.
Not an artist? Fear not--this class is geared to be useful for beginners as well as more experienced artists. If you need additional help or resources, I'm available via email during the semester, and there's a Facebook group to facilitate critique and growth during and even after class.

Hi there! As a licensed therapist, specializing in anxiety and trauma disorders, and serving the areas of Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Ladera, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, and San Clemente, I welcome the opportunity to connect with you.
I treat a variety of anxiety disorders and trauma-related issues, utilizing the latest evidence-based practices. These include EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, CBT-ACT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Acceptance Commitment Therapy, ERP – Exposure Response Prevention, and Solution Focused Therapy.
The anxiety treatment I utilize is an approach that trains the brain to stop setting off the fire alarm, when there is no fire present and to discern between real danger and perceived danger. When my clients follow the treatment steps each time anxiety rears its ugly head, it begins to stop rearing its ugly head. The more willing they are to experience their anxiety in a new way, the faster it disappears.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I treat most types of trauma-related disorders. Whether it was caused by a one-time catastrophic event or years of exposure, EMDR can heal the brain in a relatively short period of time. Through EMDR, I help clients process painful life experiences that continue to impact them today and to overcome their damaging effects.
What does working with me look like? I am warm and empathic, creative and enthusiastic, supportive and challenging, fully present and attentive. I am a Christian and am willing to discuss faith-based issues in the treatment session. If you are ready for change and healing, give me a call and we can discuss how I can help.

Oprah Winfrey's Fashion through the years
Before The Oprah Winfrey Show aired, 1985: A relaxed look for a woman who didn't yet know how powerful she would come to be. Nice boots. I wonder if she still has them?
Her first Daytime Emmy, 1987: So late 80s with the geometric sequined blazer and chunky earrings!
After losing 67 pounds, 1988: On this historic show, Oprah wheels out 67 pounds of fat, representing the weight she lost on the now bogus Optifast diet. She wore a pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans she saved from her younger days. I love the simplicity of this outfit, and that fabulous cowboy belt buckle!
Oprah on OWN press tour, 2011: Oprah rocks her queenly robes to her press tour for her newly launched network. I love the collar on this and the deep teal jewel-toned hue. It's a great look to kick off a great endeavor.
At her 50th birthday party, 2004: Oprah chose to look like a lady in an ivory tea-time suit. That lace detail on the inside sleeve is divine.
At the 76th Annual Academy Awards, 2003: One of Oprah's many figure-flattering gowns. A regal look fit for the queen of daytime!

- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup minced onion
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 12 ounces fresh porcini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 6 ½ cups hot chicken or veal stock
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano
- Freshly ground pepper to taste

Add the wine, stir well, and add ½ cup of the hot chicken stock and the salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue to add hot stock in small batches (just enough to completely moisten the rice) and cook until each successive batch has been absorbed, stirring constantly, until the rice mixture is creamy and al dente.
- Remove from the heat, beat in the butter and cheese, season with pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Today, scientific and technological revolutions and industrial changes are on the rise all over the world. The EU has launched a "data-driven economy" strategy to seize opportunities of big data development. China has also made a strategic decision to build a digital China. "Innovation integrates security, intelligence leads the future" is the theme of China-EU digital technology cooperation.
China has made significant achievements in its digital construction. According to the Digital China Construction and Development Report (2017) issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the country's digital economy reached 27.2 trillion yuan in 2017, growing 20.3 percent year-on-year, accounting for 32.9 percent of its GDP, and ranked second globally.
The new generation of information technologies represented by AI, robotics, 5G mobile communication, internet of things (IoT), and blockchain have accelerated the breakthroughs in applications to become the core driving forces of digital technology in China. In 2017, China rose to No 22 in the Global Innovation Index jointly released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Cornell University and INSEAD, becoming the only middle-income country to enter the top 25 list. However, there is an acute shortage of talents and high-skilled personnel. Europe is among the leaders in digital technology innovation. For instance, in terms of AI, Europe is recognized as home to prestigious world-class universities and research centers, with at least nine ranked among the top 25.
In March this year, the European Political Strategy Center, European Commission's in-house think tank, released a report titled "The Age of Artificial Intelligence: Towards a European Strategy for Human-centric Machines" which analyzed the current challenges facing Europe. In 2017, only 4 percent of global data was stored in the EU and only 25 percent of large companies and 10 percent of the small and medium-sized enterprises use big data analysis. In most EU member countries, data scientists make up less than 1 percent of total employment. In contrast, China has become one of the largest and most diverse data source countries, having accumulated a wealth of data resources. The number of Chinese internet users exceeds 800 million, mobile phone users exceed 1.3 billion, ranking first in the world. In 2017, the monthly mobile internet access traffic per capita reached 1775MB on average, which provides a fertile source for global research.
In the digital technology revolution, China and the EU are facing many common and different challenges, which have huge potential for cooperation. For example, China has proposed the "Internet Plus", aiming to construct a public service supportive platform and promote the integration of the Internet and manufacturing industries.
With the 5G era approaching, the prospects of the IoT are refreshed once again, becoming an important scenario of 5G applications. According to IDC data, by 2020, the global market for IoT will reach $1.7 trillion and grow at an annual compounded rate of 16.9 percent. Under this trend, China's IoT industry will grow to exceed 1.5 trillion yuan by the end of its 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20). In 2019, China's cloud computing industry will be 430 billion yuan ($62.02 billion) in scale.
China also aims to enhance international cooperation in the digital economy. This year, China released the new version of its AI development plan, with a focus on accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence and economic society. In March this year, the EPSC's report clearly stated that Europe should create a framework to support AI investment and set global quality standards for AI to meet internal and external challenges. China and the EU can improve the joint research mechanism through cooperation projects, and fund joint research and exchanges to jointly meet global challenges.
China puts equal emphasis on development and security. The EU has made good progress in advanced data protection technologies and issued the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in May this year.
Taking AI and robots as an example, one of the big challenges is how to make AI available to human uses for extending thinking, memory, judging and handling things. The Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology has written relevant contents into a new plan to explore and establish international standards for what people can develop, what is bound by the ethics of science and what to refrain from.
China and Europe have carried out active cooperation in this regard. To address the core issues of robot and AI security, a robotic blockchain program named "MPC" initiated by late British scientist Stephen Hawking has been completed by more than 10 academicians and experts from China, Europe and other countries. The goal of the program is to use blockchain as the cornerstone to establish the global robot security consensus charter for efficient monitoring and management of robots for safety and security of robot uses. In its promotion for consensus, the program has got support from EU countries, especially from renowned robot companies such as KUKA, ABB, and COMAU from countries such as Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland and Italy.
China understands innovation is in essence talent-driven. At present, China still has a shortage of high-level innovative talent, especially of leading scientists and technologists. Sino-European talent cooperation could be a key focus. In 2017, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China launched a guidance on promoting foreign scientists' participation in China's national science and technology plans, exploring a new model for opening-up and cooperation by gathering global innovative talents.
Europe is currently a cradle for innovation and entrepreneurship by high-end talents. China and Europe can work together to bring global innovative talents to international scientific plans and projects, promote openness, cooperation and sharing of large-scale research infrastructure and facilities, scientific data, and other resources.
China and Europe have signed the Sino-EU Science & Technology Cooperation Agreement, under which projects combining study, research and production can be carried out jointly. China and the UK also signed an MOU on science, technology and innovation cooperation in December 2017.
With globalization encountering protectionism, and multilateral trade regimes and rules facing challenges, China and Europe should release positive, clear, and strong signals on major issues such as global governance and cooperation of science and technology. China-Europe cooperation can create solid conditions and a long-term vision for a shared destiny for humankind.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
(Photo: Reddit)
We all remember that moment. You sound off to your mother with just enough of a tone of disrespect that she gives you the "I dare you to say something else" death stare.
Well, this mom hit her 23-year-old son, who lives at home, with a bill instead.
After a disagreement escalated into a full-on argument, the mother drafted an invoice that charged the son for $39K worth of expenses. This tactic proved successful when the son apologized for his actions, but not without first posting the invoice to Reddit.
The expenses ranged from health care to "being an a**hole and not appreciative of your mother's support financially or otherwise." After many users online got word of this, it's no surprise that the post went viral. Most people were able to see the comedy in the situation, yet there were some trolls who decided to criticize the mom's action and even her ability to make a proper invoice.
The mother told NBC that she never intended for the invoice to be taken seriously and just wanted "to prove a point and to make him wake up."
It should come as no surprise if this becomes a new way to encourage more respect and gratitude for parents. In fact, the son was so moved by her actions that he's working to repay her one day.
He even went on to say, "My mom will get old one day and I'll take care of her and spend years and years repaying her, even changing her diapers."

They are
Gymnasium believes everyone can be an athlete and are building a community that is welcoming to women, people of all ages, families and all levels of fitness.
Their challenge
Crossfit gyms have a reputation for being testosterone fuelled industrial spaces with poor toilet and showering facilities. This means women, and families struggle to feel comfortable. Gymnasium's founders had a dream to create a place that was welcoming to all without losing their hard-earned athletic credentials.
The gym needed to increase its membership, utilise off peak times better and codify a possible franchise model.
How we helped
We work directly with the CMO of Gymnasium to constantly improve the customer experience and help them develop new products.
We started by advising them on how to set up the goals, assembling a small team to deliver on the key objectives and helping them put structure in place.
We brought in Silas Amos, a brand design consultant, to develop the core design idea to make sure it was inspirational, practical and could grow with the business. This design idea has gone on to inform every aspect of the Gymnasium experience.
We've since helped them work with a team of creative specialists to bring Gymnasium to life across design, communication, digital and interiors.
Membership targets have been achieved in a year, their members love them, new gym sites are being searched out, and they've developed a fitness program that fits the ethos of Gymnasium and is their own IP.
And of course, lots of stronger and happier clients.
Project Timeline
Initial design idea and delivery of key assets took 3 months.
The project has developed for over a year and still going strong.

The Healthy Lifestyle Course (HLTH1010) is a obligatory, one-yr course for undergraduates to learn how to preserve a effectively-balanced and healthy way of life that may assist them to successfully manage their life, studying and work. That lovely brilliant orange colour of pumpkins comes from the antioxidant, beta carotene, which not only turns to vitamin A within the body, but is a robust antioxidant that protects in opposition to heart illness, cancer and diabetes. The truth is, a latest research from Brazil confirmed that diabetic rats fed beta carotene lowered oxidative stress that helped forestall heart disease and disease processes brought on by diabetes.
The philosophy underlying my method is that of any herbalist: hold the vitality in your body sturdy, and be conscious to do it daily. When it goes out of ease and into disease, use the appropriate vegetation – the unique supply of many industrial medicines – to convey your physique and thoughts again into balance, and to revive optimal functioning. Your body is at all times aiming for stability and well being, and listening to it is likely one of the finest issues you can do. Illness is feedback – the earlier you heed it and restore your vitality, the much less possible it is you may develop extra severe problems.
With altering time, no matter the age, we now have change into very prone in the direction of junk food intake, which in the long term comes up with problems similar to chubby and obesity. While some individuals perceive that they need to drop pounds however lacks motivation, whereas the other group is aware of the well being dangers that junk meals brings however continues with their consuming habits. Nonetheless, there is excellent news for those individuals who couldn't management their consuming habits.

From sugary drinks to breakfast cereal, it's arduous to get away from sugary foods. Often the sugar is hidden in canned goods or pre-packaged meals, and even in meals we predict are wholesome for us, corresponding to fruit juice. The common person takes in about 22 teaspoons of added sugar each day. In line with the American Coronary heart Association the each day target needs to be not more than six stage teaspoons for ladies, and 9 for males—that is for each food and beverages combined.
Experiment. One of the best ways to know what works for you is to experiment. Relatively than subscribe yourself to at least one weight loss plan, attempt completely different meals and see how your physique responds. Most significantly — analysis and tweak your weight-reduction plan based on what you study.

We have outlined our services below, but we know it can be overwhelming. If you aren't sure which service is appropriate for your situation, you can always contact us directly at any time.
Collaborative Practice | Constructive Negotiation | Parenting Plans | Agreements
Collaborative Practice
A team approach – two lawyers (one for you and one for your partner) and neutral professionals (a facilitator and a financial professional) work in a structured process through a series of meetings to achieve a peaceful, fair resolution.
This process is based on identifying your interests and goals – in other words, what is most important to you – and helping you achieve them. Throughout it all, there is a focus on maintaining positive family relationships and promoting the wellbeing of children.
The professionals in this process are trained in collaborative practice and mediation and bring different skills to the negotiating table.
The lawyers advocate for you and provide legal advice and support.
Your Facilitator is a psychologist who manages and controls the meetings and can also provide assistance with the development of a Parenting Plan.
Your Financial Professional is a financial planner who gathers all required financial information and provides advice around budgeting requirements and other financial and taxation issues, giving you peace of mind.
This team of professionals with different but complementary skill sets come together to provide you and your partner with a safe and secure environment to work through post-separation issues and achieve a resolution that is acceptable to everyone. The resolution will be specifically-tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
The process is
Constructive Not adversarial
Respectful Not aggressive
Transparent Not deceptive
Creative Not based on "legal outcomes"
Empowering Not driven by lawyers or Judges
Constructive Negotiation
We believe that negotiation does not need to be spiteful or based on a 'winner takes all' approach. It can be respectful, constructive, and focused on achieving fair and balanced outcomes. This is what we do best.
Our negotiation process involves two family lawyers (one for you and one for your partner). Sometimes, if necessary, a neutral third party can be involved – such as a mediator or facilitator.
This type of negotiation can take place in different ways, including round table meetings, correspondence, telephone attendances, or a combination of these elements. The process is always tailored to suit your needs and preferences, so that everyone is as comfortable as possible.
Parenting Plans
Supporting children through separation is one of the main concerns we hear from our clients. There is a lot to think about. Whether it is how to talk to children about separation, what to expect, or how to develop a co-parenting relationship when your own relationship has broken down, we can advise and support you and your children.
Children thrive on routine; it makes them feel safe. We will work with you to develop a Parenting Plan that outlines your children's living arrangements so they can move into a reliable and stable routine again. We believe it is important that your Parenting Plan reflects your children's emotional and developmental needs and focuses on their wellbeing.
Once you have finalised your Parenting Plan with our psychologist, we can talk with you about the different ways of documenting your agreement.
Pre-Nuptial/Relationship Agreements
These agreements are about starting or continuing a marriage or de facto relationship on a firm basis. Having an agreement in place makes it much easier to work out financial arrangements, both during your relationship and in the event of a future separation.
Relationship Agreements:
Protect pre-existing assets
Manage financial arrangements during the relationship
Specify how assets will be divided in the event of a separation
Make provision for financial support in the event of a separation
These Agreements can provide security at any stage of your relationship and offer peace of mind by removing the stress and uncertainty of what would happen if you were to separate.
Separation Agreements
You and your partner are separating and may have already reached an agreement between you about children, property, or other financial matters.
We can talk to you about documenting those agreements and finalising any aspects you haven't yet agreed upon.
When we reach a resolution, we ensure that you have the security you need by providing the appropriate legal documents. This may include:
Financial Agreement to document your property settlement (including superannuation)
Binding Child Support Agreement to document arrangements for child support
Parenting Plan to document arrangements for children
Consent Orders approved by a Court to document agreements for property and/or children
These Agreements provide certainty, security and a firm basis for moving forward.

Redistribute surplus food
Preventing food from being thrown away in the first place is top priority. However, sometimes surplus food arises due to over-ordering, changing demand and even the weather! If you find that you have surplus food which is still edible, consider redistributing it to people in need through one of the organisations or food sharing apps below.
foodcycle cambridge
FoodCycle Cambridge has been running since 2010 and offers three free meals in the city each week, as well as catering for special events.
FoodCycle collect and cook surplus fruit and veg, bread, pastries and cakes, dairy products, store cupboard/ ambient foods and flowers from local organisations including Sainsbury's, the City Foodbank, Cambridge Crop Share, the Cambridge Fruit and Veg Company and Lensfield Road Farmer's Market.
For further information about donating your surplus food to FoodCycle, email Vib and Gordon at firstname.lastname@example.com (include 'for the attention of Vib/ Gordon' in your email subject line).
community fridge
Cambridge Sustainable Food partnered with The Edge Cafe on Mill Road to install the city's first Community Fridge in 2017.
Organisations and individuals can donate unwanted food to the fridge, which can then be collected free by anyone in need.
The Cambridge Community Fridge is part of a national network which aims to help people connect with their local communities, access nutritious food, save money and reduce waste.
The fridge is open to donate or take items between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday and between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays. Find out more about the fridge here.
Cambridge City foodbank
Cambridge City Foodbank collects food for emergency distribution to people in need across eight food banks in the city. Operating since 2010, the food bank has distributed over 4,500 emergency three-day food parcels in the last year alone.
You can donate non-perishable, in date and unopened items. All goods should be of a size suitable for packing into food boxes – no catering sizes please. For more information on what items are needed now and how to donate, visit https://cambridgecity.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/
Olio connects neighbours with each other and with local shops and cafes so that surplus food can be shared, not thrown way.

Junkfood Deluxe by Quentin
'Junkfood Deluxe by Quentin' in Bxl is a small burger joint in the hip Châtelaine neighbourhood offering a nice variety of tasty burgers. Not your average beef-patty-on-bun-burger but something to satisfy both the hunger of a burger aficionado and the epicurean.
The burgers may be a bit small but that gives you the opportunity to make up a combo and taste more than one burger. These combo's will also make it easier on the wallet but lest not forget....we're talking burgers here, not Guy Savoy dishes and the check will never be painfull!
I took a Reblochon burger in combo with a Boursin chicken burger and some french fries(deepfried in olive oil) on the side. The Reblochon was a pure beef patty with melty reblochon cheese, peppery pepper sauce, frisee salad, crispy bacon and crispy onions on a brioche bun. Very good and nice combination of flavours.
The Boursin had a crispy patty of ground chicken beef with chinese cabage, fresh estragon and marinated bell peppers on a sesame seed bun. A good mouth full of fresh estragon! Yummy!
Wash it down with a cold,crisp blond Vedett or have a glass or bottle of wine from the short but filled winelist.
Have a nice dessert to finish your meal, crème brulée - chocolat moeulleux - homemade icecream......
Cost?? 2 (small) burgers, french fries and a beer = 13€. ;)
Service is like the neighbourhood, easy-going and that's no problem at all!!

May 29-June 1, 2017
The technology behind genetically modified organisms (GMO) is fascinating. How the scientists place a particular gene of one species into the double-helix chromosome string of a totally different classification of life at precisely the right place to effect the expected change is nothing short of amazing. Miraculous biological beings are being developed to perform all manner tasks for the medical industry. Algae reproduce rapidly to produce everything from oil-eating microbes to artificial grapefruit flavor. Virologists see great potential for human health. The vast majority of all livestock feed grown around the world employs gene-transfer technologies, too, to ward off insects and disease, improve drought tolerance, provide a modified nutrient density, etc. More recently, this technology is creeping into the foods we consume directly, for our own good. Or is it?
I have no idea if consuming genetically modified sweet corn is harmful to me or not. We are waiting to make sure the scientists don't find something wrong with eating GMO foods mode, and I really hope they don't, since the genie is out of the bottle.
GMO Beginnings
In the early days of the development of national organic standards—the late 1990s—the standards' founding mothers and fathers were unanimous in their repulsion at the thought of a trout gene in a tomato, ostensibly for cold tolerance, so GMOs have been, from the beginning, called "excluded methods" in organic production. This is placed right into the definitions of the regulation. Now, GMO refers to a multitude of genetic-manipulation methods—some say better, but still excluded from organic production—and here's why.
The GMO crops began as an answer to mounting pest pressures. As the use of synthesized chemical "-cides" became more widely used, scientists discovered these products became less effective over time. The molds, fungi, insects and weeds the scientists thought they were controlling with their chemicals mutated to adapt. So somebody figured out how to manipulate the genetic code of the plant itself, to carry the detrimental material to the field. No need to spray. Viola, problem solved.
Seed Ownership
Prior to the availability of gene-transfer seed products, the gene pool lived in the public domain. But these gene-transfer technologies were developed by corporations, therefore, their seeds contain "intellectual property" and belong to the corporations, not to the people. This has proven problematic. Corn is complicated but resides at the epicenter of the debate and is a good case study for this discussion.
Corn has a pollen problem: It can't keep its genes zipped up, as it were. This is the case with all corn—GMO and non-GMO—as its pollen drifts far and wide. An organic farmer growing non-GMO corn to meet increased consumer demand must have a buffer from any source of potential contamination, which decreases the land available to grow the crop. If the organic corn does become pollinated by the mutant genes, it cannot be sold as organic, effectively eliminating the premium in the marketplace that it deserves. Additionally, if nearby GMO corn pollen drifts in to insinuate itself into virginal corn silks and the farm keeps the resulting kernels to plant next year—an ages-old practice called seed saving—the farmer can be sued for stealing the GMO-seed company's intellectual property. The courts have upheld this ruling many times.
GMO Resistance
The short-sighted view that Mother Nature can be manipulated and managed is dumbfounding. The ability of plants and insects to adapt to their environment is known as "gaining resistance" in the science circles of academia, be it climatic-environmental condition or the introduction of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc.
The most widely used GMO technology today is known as Roundup Ready corn or soybeans. Roundup is Monsanto's commercial name for glyphosate, a chemical herbicide that kills anything that is green and growing, except the plant that has been genetically modified to withstand it. Now, 20 years after Roundup's introduction, farming periodicals are peppered with articles about super weeds that are no longer killed with this spray and what can be done about it. Some suggest growers pull their tillage equipment out of the fencerows, because that is proven technology. Funny, it's the technology that organic farmers have used all along.
A similar situation has arisen with corn earworm control, too, and insect resistance to the naturally occurring Bacillus thurengensis (Bt) bacterium is also well under way. What are they going to do now, and then the next time?
No Thanks, GMO
So, I'm not sure if eating mutant gene combinations is bad for me or not. I am sure I don't like the way the owners of the GMO technology do business. I am concerned about the arrogant attitude of their intrusion into Mother Nature's genes. I am concerned about chemical-resistant mutant insects and weeds proliferating, unlike anything ever witnessed before. I have grave concerns about the consolidation of the seed industry and their stranglehold on the food genetics we have access to. Because of these concerns, I'm not willing to support the practice of genetic manipulation with my food dollars.
No GMO technologies are allowed in organic foods, period. This is scrutinized by the organic certification agencies with diligence. This is one reason why we are organic farmers. We can sleep with a sound conscience and eat in peace. Thanks for joining us. —Mac Stone

I've been dressing like it's the middle of summer or that I actually want to be at Coachella (I do, though), floral crown and everything. Also, how cool is that dress? I got it from Forever 21, while in Dublin, mostly because of the zip halfway through the dress. My friends thought it's ridiculously tacky, but to me, it's has the perfect 90s aura.

"Days of Little Texas" by R.A. Nelson
Publication Date: September 14, 2010
Knopf Books for Children
Advance Review Copy
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (****)
Ronald Earl, aka Little Texas, almost 16, has been on the road with his Aunt Wanda Joy, elderly Sugar Tom, and Certain Certain for nigh on six years, preaching the gospel and performing healings in a long succession of small Southern towns. Lately he feels a fraud, bedeviled by recurring dreams of being with a beautiful blond girl, naked. Sincere in his faith, he's nevertheless beginning to doubt his work, his worthiness. Exhausted after a night's work, he performs one last healing on a girl, Lucy, that feels different. As the days pass, he can't stop thinking about her as she melds with the girl of his dreams. When a large, boisterous crowd in Mississippi cows him, he leaves the stage, unable to preach. Wanda Joy hatches a plan to get him back on track that will test his faith and may, if he's able, defeat the evil that ruined her grandfather on the same site, years before. Are the women in Ronald's life working for good, or ill? A substantial subtext about twisted souls ensnared by slavery leads to increasingly scary and disturbing events, culminating in a showdown with evil reminiscent of M. T. Anderson's climactic battle in Thirsty (Candlewick, 1997). Chapters are brief, the pace is rapid, and the tension is high as Ronald wrestles with demons both temporal and spiritual to find his place in the world.
Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.com
I had a few trepidations about Days of Little Texas. It didn't get a lot of publicity when it was first published in October of 2010, and the theme of a "paranormal romance" was already a worn out subject.
Days of Little Texas surprised me in the best way.
First, Ronald Earl, a.k.a Little Texas, had such a unique and powerful voice that I hadn't seen in YA fiction in quite a while. He was honest, innocent, and had the purest of intentions on what he did with his ministry. He was a truly heartfelt individual and took on quite a bit of a responsibility by using his gift for spreading the Gospel.
Second, the paranormal aspect wasn't the usual "weepy heroine falls head-over-heels in love with a ghost/zombie/vampire" etc., and the love story between Little Texas and Lucy was genuine and strong. I only wished more was said about Lucy's past and why she was chosen to free the souls in the end.
It was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise to read Days of Little Texas and I congratulate the author on such a unique YA novel that has been overlooked for far too long.

Switch: A Chance Encounter
Switch—the technology infrastructure company that is powering the future of the connected world®—powers the STEAM experience at ArtPrize.
A remarkable collaboration around STEAM education between Switch and ArtPrize began with a chance encounter a few years ago.
When Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy was seeking to expand the data center technology giant beyond Nevada to the Eastern United States, the state of Michigan was not on the radar as a potential location. However, a good friend intimated that he was the owner of the former Steelcase Pyramid, mentioned his recent acquisition in a conversation with Rob Roy, and peaked the CEO's curiosity leading to a site visit in Grand Rapids.
The team landed in Grand Rapids during ArtPrize, an unexpected surprise that set the tone for the entire visit to Michigan.
"Grand Rapids surprised us with its beautiful downtown area, the sense of community and the palpable energy of a place committed to education and technology. All of that told us we needed to be here," said Switch EVP of Strategy Adam Kramer. "And then there was ArtPrize—such a unique gem that intrigued us on our first visit."
A Partnership of Smart Design, Technology and Education
Switch had already embarked on the adaptive reuse of the iconic Steelcase Pyramid, evolving it into the smartest technology infrastructure in the world, when the company focused its attention to defining the best way to create community impact in Grand Rapids and Michigan. A partnership with ArtPrize was a natural choice. ArtPrize's investment in the development of educational programs aligned with Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy's commitment to STEAM education and the integration of technology blended with the arts. The partnership with Switch created the STEAM Village powered by Switch at Art Prize.
"Switch's community investment has always focused on STEAM education and how that enhances economic development. From the moment Rob Roy encountered ArtPrize on that first visit, to the creation of the first STEAM Education Village powered by Switch, we just knew the stars had aligned and a lasting relationship with Art Prize was happening," said Switch Chief Brand Officer Kristi Overgaard.
The partnership of Switch and ArtPrize created the perfect environment for bringing Switch's passion around STEAM educational opportunities to life through hands-on immersive experiences and truly capturing the blend of technology with the creativity of art.
Focus on FIRST
Switch's growing partnership with FIRST® Robotics played front and center as part of the STEAM education experience.
"Switch always challenges us to integrate STEAM elements into ArtPrize in different ways," said ArtPrize Executive Director Jori Bennett. "Their growing relationship with FIRST in Michigan drove us to integrate the core elements of whole-mind education as the key to designing for and solving the challenges our world faces today, as well as in the future."
The winning teams from FIRST in Michigan paraded the robots through downtown Grand Rapids to the STEAM Education Village. In the Village, the students took on the challenge of re-designing and re-programming their robots to actually draw in the STEAM Village.
The Business Case for Technology and Smart Design
Creativity and whole-mind thinking are the core of innovation and smart design. Without it, we wouldn't have brilliant minds in fields like architecture, industrial design, civil engineering and robotics. The programming at the ArtPrize STEAM Village opens students to the possibilities of future careers in STEAM.
There is a core business case for the STEAM education experience at ArtPrize in that it provides the critical building block of the future talent pipeline not only for Switch, but for our clients and the business communities where we operate as well," Adam Kramer added.

Below, left is a picture of camper Colin Foley with Olson van der Vorst. On the right is Colin Foley, college student and future Camp Spring Creek counselor. We're excited to welcome Colin back to camp this summer and we know his experience as a former camper will be invaluable. We asked Colin to share a few camp memories and hopes for this summer, below.
What are your best memories from your time at camp?
Probably the trips or creek hikes that we went on. Not to say there were bad memories, but those ones are the best!
What do you remember about the counselors at camp?
I remember how cool it was to have counselors from all over the world and get to learn from them how they live in other places.
How do you think you'll be the same (or different) from your counselors?
I will try to always have fun or a good time, but at the same time make sure we follow the rules of what we can and can not do while at camp.
What is something you're excited to share with campers this summer?
I'm probably most excited to give campers some of the amazing experiences I got to have as a kid that helped make me into who I am today.
What would campers be surprised to learn about you?
Um...that I drive a really old car: a 1987 BMW, but love this car!
What should camper do to stay on your good side? What should they avoid doing?
To be on my good side, just always have a good attitude with me and be honest.
What advice can you give campers about having a great summer?
Just say yes to every opportunity even if it is a little out of your comfort zone. It could be what changes your whole view of things. For me that was the zipline. I hated heights when I got to camp, but now love doing zipline stuff when I get the opportunity.
What are your hopes for this summer?
I hope to have a good time and give campers some amazing memories.

Best Buy Will Begin Carrying Dell PCs
Best Buy will begin carrying Dell notebook and desktop computers in January, becoming the brand's third new retail account within the last eight months after Wal-Mart and Staples.
The distribution deal is the latest stage in Dell's burgeoning retail strategy, designed to augment its original consumer-direct model and recapture market share.
For Best Buy, the agreement expands its IT offering to five of the most popular computer brands in the United States including , whose desktops, notebooks, software and accessories will be sold within dedicated areas in some 270 Best Buy stores by year's end. Best Buy also carries desktop and notebooks from Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Sony and Toshiba. The retailer said the addition of Dell will mark the first time since at least 1995 that the brands have commingled under one retail roof.
The move instantly places pressure on established computer vendors Hewlett-Packard, Gateway and Toshiba to retain their shelf space in Best Buy, said Steve Baker, The NPD Group's industry analysis VP.
"This move makes Best Buy the place to go for all the top PC brands," Baker said, adding the Dell notebooks and desktops in Best Buy should scare HP and the others.
Under terms of the deal, Best Buy will carry an assortment of Inspiron and top-of-the-line XPS notebook and desktop computers, including the new XPS One all-in-one system with Blu-ray burner. Baker said including their top-end gaming systems is proof the Dell recognizes retail ability to build its brand.
"Seeing the latest fashion colors of our Inspiron and XPS notebooks or previewing the ultimate gaming experience on a high-performance system can be an important part of how people shop," said Michael Tatelman, sales and marketing VP for Dell's global consumer business.
"The addition of Dell to our retail and online selection gives Best Buy customers unprecedented choice when buying a computer," added Dave Morrish, senior VP of Best Buy's mobility business unit — and brings together the nation's two-largest providers of computers and accessories, the chain said.
Besides the XPS One, Best Buy's desktop assortment of Dells will include the Dell Inspiron 530, 531 and 531s. Notebooks will include the XPS M1330 in white, the Inspiron 1521 in blue and black and the Inspiron 1420 in black. Additional models and colors will be available at Best Buy in coming months, Dell said.
Dell launched its retail distribution plan in June by opening up distribution to and Sam's Club with two exclusively configured Dimension desktop models. Last month it added to its retailer roster, which now carries a wide assortment of Inspiron notebook and desktop computers, as well as monitors, printers, ink and toners in stores and online. Dell also continues to sell limited SKUs through Costco and Staples.
Another channel proving successful for Dell is QVC.
A Sunday afternoon appearance on QVC by Dell chairman, founder and CEO Michael Dell may have helped the multimedia retailer enjoy its best sales weekend in the company's 21-year history.
Domestic orders topped $105 million for Saturday, Dec. 1, and Sunday, Dec. 2, while online sales exceeded $25 million, a weekend record for QVC.com.
The weekend after Thanksgiving weekend is generally a slower period for retailers, following the frantic sales activity of the Black Friday period. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), sales for the week ending Dec. 1 fell 2 percent from the prior seven-day period.
On Sunday, a Dell Inspiron notebook and desktop computer were promoted as "Today's Special Value" items, and during the 3 p.m. Dell broadcast Michael Dell demonstrated the product, discussed the company's history and talked to customers about the QVC offering. In addition, eight customers who phoned in during the show were able to chat with Dell about their purchases. Shoppers reacted by ordering more than 31,000 units.
"When we provide our customers with compelling product offerings and great values, they respond and this weekend was an exceptional example of that," said QVC president/CEO Mike George. "Not only did our current customer base log on and dial in for great products, but we also attracted more than 25,000 new customers who recognized QVC as a great destination for holiday shopping."
Other big sellers for the weekend included the Bose Wave music system; a Kodak digital camera; a portable GPS navigation system; a Lexmark wireless printer, scanner and copier; and a digital picture frame.
QVC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media. Its CE sales were $330 million last year according to TWICE's Top 100 CE retailers ranking, where it placed 36th.

How soon they forget! A month or two ago, when this change was being talked about, we had good suggestions on how to define the server.xml tags. Specifically, I remember a very clever suggestion involving the fact that java.security.SecureRandom is a subclass of java.util.Random; the config file should allow the user simply to specify *which* subclass of Random is initialized, opening the door to custom RNG classes. (However, I don't remember if the hiccup about how to pass parameters to the constructor was resolved. I suppose we can just use the default constructor for SecureRandom, since that uses "the most secure implementation available" or some such. Look at JavaDoc for SecureRandom for details.) Proposal: Add the following to server.xml, plus the code to make it work :-) <random class="java.security.SecureRandom"/> <!-- java.security.SecureRandom is more secure than java.util.Random, but takes a long time to initialize (on the order of several seconds, depending on CPU speed). Use the following for a less secure, but slightly faster, RNG. We recommend that in a production environment, you always use SecureRandom, since you won't be stopping and starting the server very often. <random class="java.util.Random"/> --> > I'd rather have this as default set on secure since > i've seen the effects of having sessions cracked (and the effects of the > security flaw in tomcat previously which used an insecure method which had > an exploit posted). +1 -- Alex Chaffee mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com jGuru - Java News and FAQs http://www.jguru.com/alex/ Creator of Gamelan http://www.gamelan.com/ Founder of Purple Technology http://www.purpletech.com/ Curator of Stinky Art Collective http://www.stinky.com/

Pasta alla Norma Kit
A very classic dish from Catania, Sicily. Nothing beats the deep flavor of a fried eggplant especially when adding tomatoes, basil, ricotta salata, and our pasta in the background. We present it here with a twist, a good tablespoon of Indonesian Sambal: you're welcome, no seriously, most tasty addition to this dish.
