Meet your specialists: Medical Negligence
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust settle multi million pound claim for girl born with cerebral palsy at Heatherwood Hospital.
On 18 March 2002, L's mother attended Heatherwood Hospital in labour. She remained under observation for just over 30 minutes following which she was reassured and discharged home. Four hours later, L's mother re-attended hospital with increasingly regular contractions. CTG tracing was commenced but no significant action was taken for over an hour, before the attending midwife requested a medical review. On review it was appreciated that the CTG trace was abnormal and therefore the consultant Obstetrician was asked to attend.
The obstetrician decided an emergency C-section was required. L was born some 44 minutes later in a very poor condition and required resuscitation and transfer to Wexham Park Hospital special care baby unit where she was subsequently diagnosed as suffering from cerebral palsy.
We were instructed by L's parents in 2008. After a 7 year legal battle, and just 2 weeks before a 10 day trial at the High Court was due to commence, we were able to recover significant compensation for L in spite of the hospital denying liability throughout the claim. The hospital's case was that the damage to L occurred in the period between the two admissions to hospital.
They relied on the fact that L 's condition was not as bad as you would expect to see from a child who suffered a bradycardia just prior to delivery, that we could not provide evidence of a bradycardia having occurred on the CTG trace that existed and that the damage had occurred whilst L's mother was at home, and was therefore not their fault. Our case was that there had been a delay in expediting L's delivery following re-admission to hospital and that L had been damaged at the very end of the labour, just prior to her being delivered and after the CTG trace had been stopped. This is the period when the vast majority of injuries to babies occur and was supported by expert evidence obtained on behalf of the family.
Following joint expert discussions, the hospital conceded that there was a delay in calling for obstetric support during the second admission but continued to deny that it would have made any difference, as on their case the damage had already been sustained.
As a result of the damage sustained at her birth L was left catastrophically injured. L suffers from dyskinetic (involuntary movement) quadriplegic (affecting all four limbs) cerebral palsy. She is unable to stand or walk unaided and is wheelchair dependant in and outdoors, though she can walk assisted in a walking frame or being assisted by her parents holding her under her armpits. L has mild cognitive deficits but has been able to attend mainstream school, albeit with one to one support.
She is aware of her surroundings, and more importantly of her disabilities and the limitations they place on her. Whilst L's vision and hearing are good, her speech is severely delayed. She hopes to one day qualify for the Paralympics as a show jumper.
It was agreed that L will require 24 hour support and assistance from carers for the rest of her life. In addition, it was agreed that L will require appropriate disability friendly single storey accommodation as well as numerous aids and pieces of equipment to help her in her everyday life. It was further agreed that L is expected to live a long life, to age 65, and therefore that she will require such assistance for a significant period of time.
Following a settlement meeting in May 2015, L was awarded a lump sum payment of £2,500,000 with annual payments to be paid to cover the cost of carers and case management for the rest of her life, starting at just over £100,000 and rising to just under £200,000 as she ages and physically deteriorates, resulting in a need for greater care and assistance. In total, she will receive close to £10,000,000 over the course of her lifetime, the vast majority of which will be used to pay for the carers that she will require every day for the rest of her life, in order to assist her in activities that we take for granted.
At the end of the case L's mother commented:
"After a recommendation from a friend we sought legal advice with Fieldfisher and met Mark Bowman. Throughout the eight year journey that then followed it has always been clear that he has always had a genuine interest and concern to how we are all doing as a family as well as being pleased to hear of our daughter's accomplishments.
"It's a daunting and harrowing time taking out legal proceedings against an organisation however Mark has always set our minds at rest and we felt reassured as we could tell he really was putting our daughter's best interests first.
"Eight years later and the case was settled out of court. My daughter will always have the care and equipment she needs and rightly deserves to have the quality of life and be as independent as possible. We as parents can now relax knowing that this care and equipment to help her achieve this independence will be available for her for the rest of her life!
"This is due to Mark's hard work and commitment and the excellent team he had around him, as well as the excellent team of experts he assembled. We as a family will be forever thankful."

I'm quite specific when it comes electronic devices; everything has to be easy and quick to use and preferably the size that I can fit in my trouser pocket. These specifications are as such probably because I grew up with the rise of the Internet and cell phones.
I remember my best friend was the first one in our school to get a mobile phone at the age of around 8. This was quite progressive in the early 90's. Her phone was an Ericsson, but since we come from Finland, the land that gave us all Nokia, my parents got me the Nokia 3310.
In fact, I think the phone is still somewhere buried in a closet, and if I turned it on I can promise you that it would work perfectly. Back then cell phones were made to endure the world's end.
Unfortunately times have changed and we're probably all aware of the scandals of phone companies slowing down their phones' batteries after a certain time, or that our everyday appliances and devices are built to last only up till the end of their warranties so that we would keep buying more. No more 80's microwaves that would survive a nuclear attack…
Ever since the death of Nokia I've had to move on to other manufacturers' phones. First I went for Samsung Galaxy S6. It was easy to use but the battery went to shit after a year and it wasn't the fastest device to use… Which caused some gray hairs for someone like me who likes things to happen IMMEDIATELY.
After that phone finally went bust I swore "NEVER AGAIN!" to go for Samsung so I had very little choice: Huawei wasn't in the game yet back then so I had to go for iPhone. iPhone 6S stayed with me through my time in Slovakia and it served me well. For then.
It provided me with good enough pictures to add to my blog posts (I didn't worry too much about picture quality back then) and it co-operated with Google applications, like Gmail, so I had everything I needed.
But then I saw the picture quality on my best friend's Samsung Galaxy S7! And I couldn't shake the thought of it any more. Even though I had promised myself never to go back to Samsung, suddenly I had a need for it again! Especially in dark spaces, like a bar, Samsung's camera is absolutely superior and iPhone simply cannot compete.
So, I went back to Samsung and up till September I have never been happier with a phone. It worked perfectly and it was super easy to use. But as mentioned in the beginning, after 2 years the battery started to lose its stamina. And also the receiver that catches the internet signals started to act up. There was one whole day when I didn't have internet on my phone at all and it was a dreadful day!
Around that time my boyfriend got a really nice offer and thus ordered both, the new iPhone X AND Samsung Galaxy S9. He asked me if I wanted one of them. Of course I did!
He got the phones and immediately went for the Samsung because it had more memory in it. So I was left with the iPhone. Which was fine. I had obviously heard about the hype around the gadget and having been a happy iPhone owner before I didn't mind one bit.
So, now I've had this new phone for about a month and I thought I'd write my review on it from a blogging point of view. Because blogging really is the biggest reason for me to have a smart phone. If we took blogging out of the equation I'd be just fine with the Nokia 3310.
These are my observation on
Samsung versus iPhone
Blogger's view 1: Usability
Basically both phones are the same when it comes to ease of use. The basic functions are similar and navigation is easy and straight-forward. There's a small difference in how fast these phones react to "orders" and on that aspect iPhone scores higher; Samsung is a bit slower in reacting and even a bit twitchy when, for example, opening an app.
The only bigger difference use-wise is that iPhone seems to rely on swiping technique whereas with Samsung you click.
For example, when closing background apps, with Samsung you just click on the left down corner and then click 'Empty'. Whereas with iPhone you have to press and swipe to get the background apps visible and then you have to press again to get them active until you can swipe them away. I guess preference on this depends on what you're better used to. I prefer Samsung; it's much quicker and easier.
Blogger's view 2: Camera
There is absolutely no competition here! Samsung wins iPhone any given day 6-0 when it comes to camera and the quality of pictures! This is a fact I can't wrap my head around, since Apple creators MUST be aware of the superiority of Samsung cameras on phones. Why have they not made any improvements?? Because the camera on the iPhone X is just as SHIT as it was on iPhone 6.
Yes, you have all sorts of options from 'Portrait' (for better selfies) to all sorts of ready-to-use filters but sorry mate, that don't cut it for me. The quality is still not up to my standards and if it's cloudy… Forget about it!
And considering that the entire phone (iPhone X) is nothing but display it's unbelievable that the camera's aspect ratio is only 4:3. I even googled how to get the camera to full-screen mode and apparently you'd need to download a special app for that… Give me a break! Even if I had the full-screen in use the camera takes grainy and dark pictures.
Blogger's view 3: Functionality of the basic apps
Now, Google is everywhere, right? Whenever we need answers we google, our e-mails are in Gmail and we navigate to places with Google maps. Google is basically like Microsoft Office for offices, it's become an obvious part of our everyday lives. So, WHY THE FUCK does Apple pretend like one's life could roll if you take Google completely out of the mix?
Fucking twats! is my reaction every time I check my e-mail (Gmail!) on my new iPhone or think about importing pictures from Google Drive to my phone for editing. It's a no-go, thanks to Apple's refusal to accept the fact that Google exists and it's bigger and better than them. As you might notice, this is a touchy subject for me…
Let me explain: what do I use my phone for the most? In addition to browsing and updating social media sites I use my phone as the base editing unit for the pictures that will eventually end up on my blog. I bought an expensive, proper camera from which I then transport the pictures to my phone. The easiest way to do this is either to download the pictures straight from camera to my phone with Wifi or via Google Drive.
Well, guess what? iPhone doesn't co-operate with Google Drive at all! I can't download photos to my iPhone from Drive, I can only copy them. But a copy is only about 10% of the picture's original quality. And that don't play well with me! I didn't pay a shed-load of money for my camera to have my phone destroy the pictures on their way to my blog.
The same goes for other picture apps as well: I use VSCO a lot and with my Samsung I was able to send full-size pictures from VSCO to my e-mail. Whereas iPhone, again, only lets me send copies of the edited images. When those copies are then uploaded to my blog, they are not big enough to cover the whole page. Guess how happy that makes me…
Blogger's view 4: Compatibility with other devices
This theme continues when it comes to how compatible each phone is with, for example, my Nikon camera. I can send pictures from the camera with Wifi to both phones. The problem with Samsung is that its memory is quite small and these pictures are quite big, so the memory is full after couple dozen pictures sent. iPhone X has the memory… but perhaps only because the pictures that end up in the phone are about 10% of the original quality. This is insanity!
So, at the end of the day, from blogging point of view, the iPhone X, which costs almost 1000€, can't even compare with Samsung or Huawei phones that cost one tenth of that! Perhaps Apple has their own apps that I could download but that's too much to ask, tbh! Nobody should pay for a phone that isn't ready-to-use and compatible with ALL the basic applications and devices.
Final conclusion: iPhone is useless for me.
The only positive point that I have been able to find on the iPhone is the battery; its durability is super!… Up til the day that Apple decides to slow it down to make me buy another device. Well, I can promise you one thing: when I purchase another phone it will NOT be Apple's!
I cannot recommend any iPhone to anyone who blogs or likes to photograph. Instead Samsung I can, and I will, recommend. And Huawei as well. Unfortunately it escapes me which Huawei Honor it was specifically, but one of my friends took pictures as good as with a professional camera with her Huawei phone.
Any iPhone fanatics in? Have I gotten it all wrong, is there a way for me to download and edit proper photographs with my iPhone without damaging the quality?

Regular Vehicle Maintenance Saves Money! From Efird Chrysler Jeep Dodge.
Car maintenance can extend the life of your car and boosting the value of your car overtime. It should be done regularly so your vehicle continues to perform well till the time you decide to sell it off!
Here are some car maintenance tips that can help save money in the long run – take a look:
Rotate your car tires
Front tires carry more than 60% of your car's weight; consequently, front tires wear down faster than the rear ones. Also, turning wears the front tires at different rates. For right-hand-drive drivers, they generally take right turns faster than they do left turns. This puts more load on the left front tire so it wears out faster than your right. After thousands of miles of driving, you end up with uneven tread wear. Rotating tires equalizes these natural wear patterns by changing the positions of your tires, so it ensures a smoother and safer ride. Most manufacturers recommend that you should rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. An easy way to remember to rotate your tires is to do it whenever you change the oil.
Maintain fluid levels
Each fluid in your car has a purpose. From engine coolant to transmission and brake fluids, if one of these fluid levels is too low, it increases the risk of damaging the mechanics of your vehicle. If you feel confident, consult the owner's manual on how to check your car's fluid levels by yourself, or else during your next oil change, ask the mechanic to check fluid levels before any repair work is done.
Changing your battery
The average car battery lasts about four to six years, but this lifespan depends on a variety of factors, including where you live (cold climates can be harsh on your vehicle), how often you start the car, and whether you typically are going on short or long drives. When it comes to your battery, preventative maintenance is the key. If you wait until it dies to replace it, you might be left stranded and forced to pay whatever price is given to you for parts, labor, and the service call.
There are other aspects of car maintenance that should be conducted regularly to avoid shelling out exorbitant amounts of money later on. Ask a professional for a thorough inspection to figure out what is wrong, what needs to be repaired, etc. and get it done right away.
To make and service appointment or ask any questions contact Efird Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

Hi Jessica,
I usually listen to Newstalk on my way home from work and I though you might be interested in a product I have just made available to Irish audiences.
I have recently (this week) started a business selling power banks for phones as I was fed up with my battery running low, and I imagined many other people were also. At Electric Picnic people paid 5 euro for a 10% charge on their phone. Please have a look at my website and let me know what you think. If you are interested I could send you a sample of one of our Key Ring Chargers.
I have put a lot of time into this as other similar products are available in the airport… however these are extremely expensive and the quality is below standard. I sourced my supplier at the CES in January and we have set up a website and started trading 🙂
Please let me know if you are interested and would like me to send on a sample (I think you have an android phone?). If you send a business address I can post one to you. And feel free to check out our website and twitter @chargeupie

Our visit to the 'Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up' exhibition
As you may have gathered from our earlier posts or visits to us - we are fans of Frida Kahlo! So when we found out that there was an exhibition of her personal artefacts and clothing at The Victoria and Albert museum in London, we patiently waited until we could go together - luckily they have a late night on a Friday.
There is lots to see including photos, videos, and her clothing. The severity of her physical condition was brought home to us by the extraordinary body braces needed to keep her body together and functioning.
The exhibition provides a powerful reminder of her strength of character, her vulnerability and the contradictions that together sum up the amazing creative talent of Frida Kahlo. The exhibition is running until the beginning of November. Make sure you don't miss it!
Celebrate Brighton Pride with some pottery painting!
We love Brighton Pride! The joy, the inclusivity, the bright colours, it's everything we love to celebrate here at The Painting Pottery Cafe.
'Colour My World' is Brighton Pride's theme this year – a celebration of all the elation and vibrancy within the LGBTQ+ community. Whatever you paint can be a representation of your identity and what Pride means to you, and we'll provide everything you need to colour YOUR world on your pottery masterpiece. We've got loads of brightly coloured paints, tons of images, and ideas galore to help you out!
Sound like your kinda thing? Then gather the gang, 'cause on Thursday 2nd August we'd love you all to come and paint a mug, bowl, or plate for just £25pp.
This event will be the perfect way to get into the Pride swing of things, preparing you for the wonderful weekend. We'll be providing nibbles, and of course it's BYOB so you can pop a bottle or two in celebratory style, and get those creative juices flowing.
To top it all off, we'll have your pottery ready to take home with you on Sunday afternoon as a souvenir of your glorious weekend of sunshine, rainbows, and celebrations.
We can't wait to see you there!
Happy Birthday Frida!
We enjoyed a wonderful night with fellow Frida lovers last Thursday as we invited our customers to spend an evening painting Frida Kahlo inspired pottery. Unloading the kilns this week has been exciting, as each colourful mug, bowl or plate emerges, decorated in homage to the inspirational Mexican artist.
We had food, drink, brooches, party hats, music and of course, pottery! Thank you so much to everyone who came, together a wonderful night to remember was created, the perfect way to celebrate the July birthday of Frida Kahlo.
We've got some similar plans for future evening events in the works, so make sure to keep up-to-date via our social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instragram or sign up to our newsletter via the subscription box at the bottom of the page!
A Frida Kahlo Pottery Painting Evening!
If you've ever visited us before, no doubt you would have spotted numerous homages to Frida Kahlo dotted about the shop. And there's a reason for that; we absolutely LOVE her. We don't know if it's her attitude to life, or the honesty in her art, or perhaps something else altogether; but we find her and her work incredibly inspiring.
So with Frida's birthday month of July coinciding with the new exhibition at the V&A, we saw the perfect opportunity to dedicate an evening to the lady who motivates us so much. On the 12th July we will be hosting an evening of pottery painting, with nibbles, BYOB, free Frida-esque portraits by guest illustrator Fern Eleanor, fancy dress (optional), flower hats and hopefully... Frida Fun!
Last week we put in our new Frida Kahlo window display which we've all been working on over the past couple of months. We've loved watching all the people passing-by stop and point out their favourite Frida to each other, and we hope our pieces can be at least half as inspiring to you as Frida is to us! It's much more impressive to see in the flesh, but if you can't make it down to see, here's a photo (apologies for the reflections - we're unable to control the bright and sunny heatwave England is currently experiencing, but we can't really complain!)
So if the sound of an evening painting Frida-inspired pottery with friends sounds appealing to you, buy your tickets at £23pp to paint a mug, plate or bowl via Eventbrite here, give us a ring on 01273 628 952, or you can pop into the shop to buy them. We're really excited and if you're coming, hopefully you are too!
It's sure to be a great night.
Language School Pottery Painting!
We offer a great morning or afternoon painting souvenirs of your days in Brighton, from walks along the Palace Pier, to exploring the grandeur of the Royal Pavilion, perhaps the beach huts in Hove caught you eye, or maybe you went up the dizzying heights of the i360. Painting your special memories onto a mug are the perfect way to 'capture' a moment in time.
Father's Day - 17th June
Prints, portraits, plates, paint, pottery...pappas! All the best things in the world, and all something we cater for!
This week we've had some really adorable pottery come through our kilns for some very lucky dads, but there's no pressure if you haven't sorted your gift out yet, because you still have plenty of time to come by the shop and do some painting! To be ready for the day we'd recommend coming before the 14th June.
Make a masterpiece mug with a message of appreciation, blow him away with a beautiful bowl covered in handprints, or paint a portrait on a plate...there's so many options to choose from! (Insider knowledge: most people pick out really huge mugs for their dad, apparently dads are giant tea guzzlers across the board? Who knew!
If you like to give gifts that are more about having an experience together, then book in to come for a painting session! Alternatively (for 12+ yrs), we offer taster throwing sessions which are a really hands-on, fun way to spend some time with dad, learning how to make a couple of small pots on the potters wheel, which you can come back to paint a couple of weeks later together. We sell gift vouchers in the shop, or over the phone on 01273 628952.
And last, but certainly not least, on Father's Day, we will have complimentary coffee and cake for any dad visiting us, so really, can there be a better way to spend the day together? We can't think of one.
Celebrating 9 years together? Pottery is the answer!
Recently we've had an influx of customers visiting us looking for gifts for their partners as they celebrate 9 years together. We're a little embarrassed to admit we didn't know that the traditional gift for a 9 year anniversary is actually pottery!
We think it's wonderful that after nearly a decade together, you gift each other pottery, and this is made even more wonderful by how the two things mirror each other. From the truly organic, natural state of clay, you form and shape and mould something beautiful to cherish forever, much like a relationship (sorry, that was a little cheesy!).
So if you have your anniversary coming up, what better way to celebrate than dropping by and picking up a gift voucher for your partner so you can both come in and have a go at Taster Throwing. Perhaps you could spend a romantic afternoon painting something together to mark the occasion, or you could even plan further ahead and come and paint a gift for them to open on the big day.
We can't think of a lovelier celebration than creating a memento together to last.
A Royal Weekend!
Have you stopped by to take a peek at our Royal Wedding window display? If not - make sure to this weekend! We've decked it out with all our best British painted pottery, and although we're not sure the real Royal event will feature a Wedding March of dinosaurs and garden gnomes, our version does!
Today we're also going to be serving up some Prosecco to celebrate the big day, so make sure you give us a ring and make a booking, and your painting session will be made even merrier than usual! There will be some specially painted ceramic hearts to remember the day by as well - there's a limited amount, so make sure to get in quick!
Congratulations to Harry and Meghan, have a wonderful day!
Mental Health Awareness Week - The Stress-Relieving Benefits of Pottery
The most popular sentence we hear from our customers is "this is so relaxing." And that's because it is! Taking a few hours out of your day to sit down, get your creativity engaged, and focus on using your hands to 'make' something, can do wonders in terms of relieving stress.
(The other sentences we hear regularly are "two forks please!" when ordering our carrot cake, or "is the number 5 paint really going to turn red?").
Most waking hours we are 'connected' or 'plugged in' - unable to escape from thoughts of our work, our social media presence, and what's going on in the world. Even in laid-back Brighton, where everything moves a little slower and there is a "more relaxed vibe.", we're all on-the-go. Britain is apparently "in the grip of a stress epidemic", and finding ways to relieve that stress has never been more important.
This is where clay work and pottery painting comes in! All you need to do is google the link between mental health and pottery, and you'll see articles and websites galore on the subject. Health Fitness Revolution, a popular magazine and online platform, explains that when on the wheel "your mind and body are in natural synergy, wrapped around your creative ambitions and goals." It's this that allows you to move away from all outside worries and focus purely on what you are creating.
At The Painting Pottery Cafe we also love to listen to calming, classical music whilst we make. If you've visited us before, you'll notice we play Classic FM all-day, everyday. It helps you to lose yourself in your pottery 'moment'; it's non offensive, not too in-your-face, and totally relaxing. One of our favourite classical musicians is Ludovico Einaudi, we've picked out a song for you to have a listen to here if you'd like! --->
So, if you're ever feeling stressed or overworked, schedule out a bit of time to come and visit us, throw a pot, paint some pottery, have a slice of cake, and listen to some relaxing music. We promise it will be the mental break you need.
Holly's Trip To Soller!
Wherever we go, we're always on the lookout for interesting ceramics and art. Sometimes it's unavoidable, and will follow us around on our holidays! Our potter, Holly, recently just returned from a short visit to Soller in Spain. Whilst there, she decided to pop into the train station, and lo and behold, she found herself in a Picasso Ceramics exhibition!
One of her favourite pieces by Picasso is the quirky and fun Fish jug, which only the other day we were discussing in the shop, and to her surprise there it was in the exhibition! Holly admitted to getting a little emotional; after all, she wasn't expecting to stumble across one of her favourite pieces of pottery whilst searching for a station toilet!
It makes us wonder - what sort of amazing exhibitions are there out there that are waiting to be happened upon, and have you ever been pleasantly surprised to find something special somewhere you weren't expecting?

Celebrate The Best Of Barnsley With Two New Exhibitions At The Civic
An exciting new season lies ahead at The Civic. We open our season with an engaging exhibition to mark the 20th Anniversary of the well loved film Brassed Off, celebrating Barnsley's rich heritage of brass music.
The Gallery at The Civic presents an exhibition to commorate the 20th anniversary of the bitter sweet gem that is Brassed Off. One side of the exhibition will consist of Turner Prize Nominee Cornelia Parker, a London-based sculptor and installation artist. Her piece, called Perpetual Canon, is an installation that engulfs the floor and walls. Her work is regarded internationally for its complex, darkly humourous, ironic style. The second side of the gallery is occupied by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller whose piece, The History of the World 1997-2004 fuses traditional brass music and acid house.
The exhibition celebrates and explores the varied cultural significance of the regions' brass band history, how it unites people within communities and celebrates their resilance and strength.
As the new season kicks off, The Civic introduce a new exhibition on the Panorama in which the subject is one many of you will be familiar with. Striving for Adequacy is a visual kick-about through the cultural existence of a club that has spent more seasons in the second tier of English football than any other - Barnsley Football Club.
The exhibition will be formed from numerous divergent sources, many of them the personal and private memories, collections, and archives of supporters. Striving for Adequacy will construct an alternative visual study of the history of B.F.C. A history that isn't a skimming of the headlines, but an exploration the footnotes.
The reactionary chants; the satire; the self-deprecation; treasured memories of halcyon days; the laughter; the tears; the joy; and naturally the pain. There will be something all supporters can identify with, as after all they are as much Barnsley FC as anything else.
All curated by a supporter, with supporters and for the supporters of the beautiful reds. Striving for Adequacy is a fond and honest portrayal of the real elements that make Barnsley FC the club we love, love to hate, and hate to love.
Brassed Off is at The Gallery at The Civic on Saturday 10 September – Saturday 19 November 2016. The Gallery at The Civic opening times are Tuesday - Sunday, 10am - 5pm. FREE Admission.
Striving for Adequacy is on the Panorama at The Civic on Saturday 10 September – Saturday 19 November 2016. Open daily, 10am - 6pm. FREE Admission.

This is what Weleda means by a fresh start. First thing in the morning, after sports or before an evening out, get invigorated and refreshed with all-natural MEN Active Shower Gel. The unique masculine fragrance comes from stimulating rosemary oil, lemony may chang, and men's favourite vetiver – a mildly antiseptic grass with a warm, woody undertone. Does it do the job? Yes it does – using only natural cleansers, which foam up, rinse off and take grit, sweat and odours with them. Non-drying to the skin, non harmful to the earth and definitely good for everyone who gets close to you.
To achieve balance of the body, mind and spirit, Weleda draw on an anthroposophical understanding of people and nature, where life processes in the human body and in nature are understood to be in close relationship with each other.

A Ski-Snowboard Hybrid, for the best of both worlds.
by Jamin Hu
The weakness of a snowboard traveling on flat ground was a problem worth tackling for none other than a young snowboarder desperately trying to move quickly from the bottom of one ski lift to another without dehydrating or being made fun of by skiers. The result, was a "if you can't beat them, join them" approach, creating a modified split-board capable of downhill skiing as well as snowboarding. The transition from snowboard to ski can be made in a matter of seconds (10 long seconds) which allows this Hybrider to be faster in any race longer than 30 meters against an average floundering snowboarder.
Stay tuned for the downhill test in the Winter of 2017-2018

So many curiosities.... so little time...
Today, my head is filled with too many interests and creative pursuits to actually be productive. It's been an insane month with more production than ever and at a higher level than normal. Now that the majority of it is behind me, I have a brief moment for my mind to wander. On my mind today, travel tripods for spherical panoramas in Italy, the best drafting pencil in the world (for me), techniques for casting acrylic, and how to make a Moleskine notebook magically open on cue.
Well, my endeavor to find a writing implement led me to three choices that I quite like. First up is the venerable Fisher Space Pen. Simple, classic, and has a great story. As for the pencils, my new Retro51 Tornado pairs nicely with my Mini Moleskines. I wish I'd seen the Stealth before going for the Black and Chrome, maybe sometime down the line I'll get one. And finally for the full sized desk pencil, the Pentel Sharp Kerry won out. I fear this could be the start of something bad.

Former Deputy Minister Arundika Fernando says although he has been removed from the Deputy Ministerial post, he would not leave Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
Earlier today (12), the President issued a directive to remove him from his post. When contacted, he told us, he was anyway planning to resign from the Government.
Arundika Fernando was elected to parliament in the 2015 General election from the Puttalam District. Later, he was sworn in as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs.
However, President's Media Unit announced later that Tourism Promotions and Christian Affairs Deputy Minister Nimal Lanza and Arundika Fernando exchanged their ministry portfolios.
Arundika Fernando repeatedly stated during the last few weeks that a group of SLFP Ministers had decided to quit their posts.
They had a discussion with President Maithripala Sirisena last Thursday.
This is the first time that President Sirisena removed a SLFP Minister.
Earlier, the President removed Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe from Justice Ministry Portfolio at the request of UNP.

Yes, it was the 70's and yes, she was into healthy eating (whole wheat bread, unsalted natural peanut butter and tofu) way before it was en vogue. A woman ahead of her time, she inadvertently gave me an idea for healthy treats for our chickens this winter !
Back in 2012 I been trying to think of inexpensive, healthy treats for them since we found ourselves with more than thirty chickens and ducks, and it was just too expensive to buy them produce at the grocery store like I used to do when we only had six. Turns out, sprouts are extremely nutritious and easy to grow.
If YOU have also been wondering what you can give to your flock for healthy treats this winter when they can't get out to forage, and when produce isn't plentiful, why not sprout some seeds or beans for them?
It's inexpensive and give the chickens much-needed nutrition when they can't be out eating grass and weeds.
Check your local health food store or online for organic beans, grains and seeds for sprouting.
(Caution: dried beans contain a toxin called hemaglutin and should never be fed RAW to chickens, however cooking or sprouting destroys the toxin. I would still suggest avoiding the larger beans such as lima, kidney and the like, and stick with grains, seeds and smaller beans like mung or lentil instead)
Grapefruit Seed Extract or White Vinegar (optional)
Cut the shelf liner to fit inside the ring part of the jar. This allows air to circulate inside the jar and the water to drain out.
You can buy pre-made sprouting lids, but this way is easy and inexpensive and works just as well.
(Alternatively, you can set the jar upside down in a bowl at an angle or in your dish drainer rack until all the water has drained.)
Try a different kinds to see which are your flocks' favorites. I am planning on keeping five jars going all the time this winter, starting a new one each morning so one jar is ready to eat each day, for a constant healthy treat source for our flock.

Price in Dubai real estate market is going down for the last 4 years. Talking about real estate not only sales and rentals of it we consider, service market is diversifying together with changes in fee structure of each service provider. Property management fees in Dubai used to be similar to brokerage fees, percentage was the usual way of fee calculation in Dubai as well as in the UAE, however real estate asset management fees should not be calculated only that way as this is a fixed routine service that is provided continuously.
How much should the management services cost? In different countries property management prices are calculated differently:
- In Middle East countries the rates start from 5% and may reach 30% of annual rent depending on the type of lease, short-term long-term;
- In European countries the price list varies from 10% to 18% of annual rent. It is also possible to pay a fixed fee, which is EUR 150.00 per month or higher;
- In USA, Canada and Australia we can see a mixed fee schedule. The minimum you may have to pay is USD 1,800.00 per year, or 10% of annual rent, or the charge will be equal to 1st month of your annual rent.
It contains many reasons, why landlords all over the world find property management services more and more demanded. Service industry itself becomes more demanded since people are busy with their business and personal staff, so someone needs to take care of things those busy ones don't have time to. In addition to that, reliable service provider is a reliable partner in a long run, it is also a key to successful investment, where financial resources become protected and appropriately utilized. Otherwise, the risk of having losses gets closer to your investments.
Some property owners overspend by paying separately tenant find only fee (from 3% to 8% of annual rent), maintenance checklist visit fee (from AED 100.00 to AED 250.00 per visit), property lawyer legal fee (from 10% to 25% of claiming amount), EJARI fee (AED 215.00) and a number of fees against many other services. All together it easily reaches AED 8,000.00 per annum, where additionally you have to spend your time in matters you are not experienced about – as a result each hour of your time is a stressful way of overspending more and more money. To avoid this, we recommend hiring a professional property manager where all services come in a package on a reasonable rate. AED 500.00 per month is what you should not exceed in spending against all mentioned above. To summarize - saved time is what you should be getting in return.Contact us and find out more about how to resist oversupplied market conditions.

|Sectional Warping System from Homestead Weaving Studio
My unique warping system consists of a special spool rack, plastic lease reeds and lease reed holder that I have developed specifically for sectional warping. The parts work together and the lease reeds don't work with a regular spool rack. I have not previously advertised these systems here on the website because I prefer to have people come here to learn to use it and see all the advantages. It eliminates the need for a tension box and is adaptable to all the sectional beam looms I have.
I have the racks made by woodworkers in the area and I sell the system for $350. I do not want to ship these units because a box has to be built for them (additional $50) and then you don't get the hands-on lesson.
This picture shows how it sets on the back of a loom. The only other equipment needed is a 4" C-clamp.
I have received many requests for more information since mention of the system was posted in CrazyAsALoom's blog and on weaving at yahoo groups.
I hope this answers the unanswered questions.

Let's talk about Nuts & Bolts
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:14 pm
I've never played it myself. I first saw it in a store and was surprised that it existed, I later learned on the internet that it was about cars. I never cared about car games so didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until Jontron's famous video that I became aware of the massive general hate towards the game.
While it made for a very entertaining video, looking back I wonder if the hate was unwarranted.
The consensus seems to lean towards "it's a good game, just not a Banjo-Kazooie game", but I'm not sure about the later part in theory (again, I haven't played it yet).
There is the fact that Banjo Pilot exists and the bear debuted in Diddy Kong Racing. Honestly Nuts & Bolt sounds more like how Rare would make a racing game than Banjo Pilot, giving it a different approach like exploration rather than playing it straight, kind of like in Diddy Kong Racing. For what I've seen it looks like it actually follows the basic BK formula but with a car theme.
So thoughts?
What do poeple who actually played it have to say?

Anne51303 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Beautie Pie
A paid online subscription that delivers beauty boxes to women on a monthly basis and allows them to sample 4 to 5 products.
We would prefer if the name "Beautie Pie" looked a bit worn and hard, not so soft and dainty. We like the idea of a heart, but maybe one that looks painted, fallen, worn. etc. Other than that, we are looking for a designer that can create us a great logo which will be easily recognized and is not overly busy.

Earnings advisories
After the market closed, network storage systems company Quantum DSS, +2.94% warned that its fourth-quarter revenue and per-share figures would miss the current consensus estimate.

As you plan the next stage of your academic life, you may be exploring study abroad options. Every year, thousands of students travel to foreign countries to build on their academic credentials. Let's look at some of the best places students fly to:
1. Australia – Australia is currently the third most popular destination for international students. According to The Australian Government Department of Education and Training, in 2015 there were 35,480 international students enrolled in Australia that is approximately 12.1% of the total (the second highest after China). Eight of the 100 top universities in the world can be found in Australia, and with over 1,100 institutions offering over 22,000 courses students can study anything from anthropology to zoology.
International students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week while studying in Australia. This is a great opportunity for students to earn money during their stay, and gain work experience in their field of interest while they study.
There is also the possibility of scholarships and grants, which can further help lower the cost of studying in Australia. They are offered by the Australian Government, Universities, and a number of other public and private organizations. For example, Indian students can apply for the Australian Awards that aim to promote knowledge, education and build ties between Australia and its neighboring countries. The program brings together scholarships offered by the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Education and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research.
After completing their studies, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) allows graduates to work in Australia temporarily. It has two streams: the Graduate Work stream and the Post-Study Work stream:
2. Singapore – Singapore has grown to become the educational hub for Asia. It hosts some premier institutions, and the Singapore government has built collaborations with the best institutes around the world, such as MIT and Yale, to provide an excellent and well-rounded education.
Singapore also offers a more affordable education compared to other popular destinations. The Singapore government provides aid to eligible international students. They offer a Tuition Grant Scheme to help students with the costs of tertiary education in Singapore. In exchange for the grant international students will sign a Tuition Grant Agreement in which they will be contractually obliged to work in a Singapore entity for three (3) years upon graduation.
For some students or parents it may be hard to make the leap from Asia to another continent like North America or Europe. Singapore allows students to study at some of the leading universities of the world, but still be close enough to home for comfort. Additionally, the cultural environment is very similar to what you may be used to at home, thus making the transition period minimal.
3. Canada – According to the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada), there were 35,059 Indian students in the country in 2015, which is the second largest contingent after China. Canadian universities provide students globally recognized yet affordable high-quality education. Living standards in Canada are amongst the highest in the world, but the cost of living and tuition fees for international students are generally lower than in other countries such as the US or UK.
Canadian Universities also provide international students a means to support themselves. Through the study permit, you can work part time on or off campus during the academic year, and full time during academic breaks. And when you graduate from an eligible Canadian, international graduates can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, which allows them to work in Canada. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) recently made changes to the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program to make it more flexible and responsive to the needs of international students. Under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, international graduates can now obtain a three year open work permit, allowing them to work for any Canadian employer in any industry. They are not required to have a Canadian job offer at the time of application.
Other popular destinations include Germany and New Zealand.
4. Germany – Germany may soon overtake UK as the most popular study destination in Europe for international students. In 2015 it attracted some 340,000 international students, compared to almost 450,000 in the UK.
There are almost 450 state-accredited universities with approximately 17,500 degree programs. Furthermore, a number of German universities receive considerable financing from the government thus Bachelor degree programs are usually tuition-free at public universities. Some Masters degree programs do come with tuition fees, but they are not as high as other premier locations.
International students with outstanding academic credentials can also receive scholarships through DAAD (The German Academic Exchange Service). DAAD is one of the largest scholarship organizations in the world and offers countless scholarship programs. Since it was founded in 1925, more than 1.9 million scholars in Germany and abroad have received DAAD funding.
5. New Zealand. New Zealand has emerged as a strong option for Indian students in the past 10 years. In 2015, there were over 29,000 Indian students enrolled to study in New Zealand. New Zealand has eight state-funded universities, 16 Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and about 550 Private Training Establishments (PTEs), which include English language schools.
On a student visa, Indian students are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week through the semester; during vacations it can be up to 40 hours. Work permits are provided post graduation; the Post Study Work Visa (Open) allows you to find a job that is relevant to your qualification. It's valid for 12 months, and during this time you can work for almost any employer in New Zealand. After you have found a job relevant to your qualification you can apply for a Post Study Work Visa (Employer Assisted).
Your college experience lays the foundation for your future, so it's imperative you find an environment where you can thrive. Thoroughly evaluate your targeted location, university and program before packing up for your selected destination.

What if 2019 were the year you not only advanced your best work for a better world – but was also the year you boosted your well-being, strengthen your bonds, and heighten meaning in your life along the way?
What if 2019 were the year you could attain the goals that matter most?
What if – in short – you could design a year of wonder, delight, and healthy productivity.
We invite you to throw out your New Year's Resolutions, vision boards, and to-do lists and come on board for a whole new way of mapping your life and work for the next year.
Sound familiar? Something has to give.
Quest2019 is a month-long online experience that will help you plan for a year of delight, wonder, curiosity, and creativity. These qualities can boost your sense of well-being, strengthen bonds, and assure you enjoy your year's quest.
More importantly, Quest2019 is about Doing-it-Together, not Doing-it-Yourself.
Don't plan in isolation. Evidence bears out that one of the most effective ways to create healthier habits is to change in community – not isolation. You will be a member of a warm, smart-hearted community, where you can enjoy different perspectives, encouragement, and the kind of motivating accountability which will help you to create more positive habits and reach your most important goals.
Why Join Quest?
- Get inspiration and clarity for your Quest with the mind-opening, game-changing instigations of 7 visionary thought leaders and experts in their field.
- Gain exclusive strategic support, tools, and wisdom from Jeffrey Davis – Tracking Wonder founder, veteran strategist, entrepreneur, teacher – and papa of two young girls.
- Break through any sense of isolation by sharing your Quest with an international community of engaged, empathetic change-makers who are actively searching for a better way to work, to do business as unusual, and to create a better world.
- Build momentum for your vision starting in December to form the strategic, methodical habits which can help you map your year and track your wonder.
How Does Quest Work?
This year Jeffrey draws upon his body of work and research from the past 15 years into the nature of experiencing and designing for wonder – all aimed to take you on a thematic adventure every week.
You gain access to exclusive conversations between Jeffrey and top influential Quest Visionaries on how to design your life, work, creative projects, and contributions to our culture at large so you have the best year ever.
Based on those conversations and Jeffrey's evidence-based and tested strategies, Jeffrey will release to you exclusive videos, live video chats, and Design for Wonder Challenges so you can practice a different way of life today as you plan for a better tomorrow and your best year yet.
Week One
LIVE: Your Daily Practices
Design for more surprise & purpose in your everyday life.
Week Two
WORK: Your Delightful Work
Design for delight with your customers or co-workers.
Week Three
MAKE: Your Creativity
Design for more curiosity and insight with what you create in this world.
Week Four
LOVE: Your Impact
Design for more openness and impact for your community, customers, and culture at large.
Every Tuesday (#TodayTuesday), beginning December 4th, is all about what you can practice this week. You get access to a Visionary Conversation between Jeffrey and one or two of our guest Visionaries as well as a Design for Wonder Challenge to test out that week.
#FutureFridays are for planning the year ahead. On Friday of each week (#FutureFriday), we'll release another video or instigation from Jeffrey to help you see how to use that week's insights and practices to think bigger and design wonder for 2019.
You are encouraged to share your responses within our private forum as well as on social media so we can find one another and build the Quest2019 momentum.
The videos will be posted in the Quest Facebook community, where you will also be able to find inspiration, track your progress, and collaborate with other Questers.
Why Did Quest Begin & Who Started It?
Five years ago, Tracking Wonder's CEO, Jeffrey Davis, noticed that otherwise talented professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and workers stalled out on their visions after a few months or less of planning.
SMART goal-setting, vision boards, strategic planning – the old methods weren't working.
So Jeffrey imagined a different approach – a community approach driven by inspiring visionaries. In the past few years, Jeffrey has invited visionaries such as Seth Godin, Krista Tippet, Jason Silva, Pam Slim, Jonathan Fields, Tara Mohr, and numerous others to offer imagination-blowing inquiries, questions, and instigations to fuel a wholly different approach to envisioning and living out a new year.
The results speak for themselves.
Veteran brand story strategist, author, and founder of Tracking Wonder Consultancy Jeffrey Davis partners with high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, and organizations to brand with integrity and to expand their influence and income. As an online columnist on the psychology of creativity for Psychology Today and The Creativity Post, he combines elements of creative thinking, design thinking, and collaborative problem-solving in the field of branding.
Host of the Tracking Wonder Podcast, he holds roundtable conversations with visionary thought leaders in diverse fields to dig deep into their entrepreneurial journey, to uncover tips and advice for designing and living their best life, and to understand how they move through the quest of creative work and life with wonder, curiosity, and openness.
Jeffrey brings over 25 years of living and engaging deliberately to everything he does.
Wonder fuels him. Wonder momentarily dissolves our habitual ways of seeing, relating, and feeling so that for a moment we glimpse what is real and what is possible. And wonder informs everything he makes and does at Tracking Wonder.
Meet Our 2019 Visionaries
Each Tuesday in December, you gain access to exclusive conversations between Jeffrey and two or more of these guest Visionaries.

so far I find the best virus scanner is SuperAntispyware Free editon. However for us to use the Real Time Protection they want us to Pay for it. If SuperAntispyware Free editon is finding over 1000 tracking cookies that slow down our pc then why Doesnt Mozilla , Opera, Chrome and all the browsers a feature in that after Leaving a Website that installed a cookie or tracker on our pc to Delete that tracker/cookie automatically after or even after re-boot ?
Im running Avast as a Real time Protection- but also this free Version does Not tell us that a Website will install a Tracker/cookie. its a No-win opportuntity -what do you think ?
As some guys have replied to my other posts - they said - we should use CCLeaner every now and then. I agree - But I think the makers of the Browsers COULD also play a role in their part.
what do you think ?
Antivirus software is big bucks business, if the AV developers allowed the browser developers to incorporate the AV in to the browser, what do you think would happen to the profits of the AV developers?
All web browsers are free at the moment, do you really want to start paying for Firefox etc? because that's what would have to happen.
Plus, are you incapable of doing your own PC maintenance & housekeeping?
A mouse-click in CCleaner too much for you?
You want everything done for you?
There is no need to pay for good AV protection. I've been using Comodo for over 15 years - - never been hacked or infected.
I don't share your views at all.

"why Doesnt Mozilla , Opera, Chrome and all the browsers a feature in that after Leaving a Website that installed a cookie or tracker on our pc to Delete that tracker/cookie automatically "
They do. Haven't you ever looked into the settings? All browsers allow you to custom configure the handling of history, temp internet files, cookies, etc. You can also use Incognito mode. Open Chrome & press Ctrl+Shift+N. Here's part of the message that will popup:
"You've gone incognito
Pages you view in incognito tabs won't stick around in your browser's history, cookie store, or search history after you've closed all of your incognito tabs."
Everyone has their favorites when it comes to security software. IMO, SuperAntispyware isn't the best choice for malware protection & I'm not a fan of Avast. There are better choices that offer better protection & are lighter on system resources.
