Starting this Thursday and running through the weekend till Monday (20th - 24th of April), Dunder Casino is launching 3 separate free spin campaigns featuring over 100 free spins in total to be used with three of the casino's top slots. The final free spins campaign set for Monday centers around the premiere of NetEnt's Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel.
When it comes to the biggest and best casino bonuses on the internet, Dunder Casino certainly knows a thing or two, offering one of the most generous welcome bonuses (£/€600 Welcome Bonus + 200 Free Spins) available to online casino players. But it isn't just new players Dunder courts with its stellar bonuses, returning players are treated with equal generosity, exemplified with their most recent string of free spin campaigns.
This weekend only, running on Thursday (20th), Sunday (23rd) and Monday (24th), players will have the chance to take advantage of 3 amazing opportunities for a hand full of free spins on three of the most popular slot titles the casino offers. As long as players visit Dunder Casino on one of the following 3 days and make a deposit, the casino will award them with free spins on a particular slot game. Here is the official schedule for the Free Spins Giveaways:
Considered by many the top slot developer on the planet, NetEnt (Net Entertainment) is certainly familiar with major slot game releases so it's no surprise the launch of the developer's newest title, Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel, is expected to go off without a hitch. Going live the final day of the Free Spins Giveaways, Monday, 24th April, the 2nd installment of the 'Fairytale Legends' series hits the casino shelves with much anticipation.
Touting 5 reels and 10 paylines, this exciting new title from NetEnt follows the first installment of the 'Fairytale Legends' series (Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood) and will pair with the remaining slots planned for the series (Fairytale Legends: Cinderella, Fairytale Legends: Beauty and the Beast, Fairytale Legends: Pinocchio, and Fairytale Legends: Aladdin). Revitalizing players' nostalgia for classic storytelling, the 'Fairytale Legends' series is expected to feature wildly popular titles.
There's a chance not everyone is familiar with the uniquely named Yggdrasil but most players are almost certainly familiar with their slot titles. Launching well-known titles like Nirvana and Chibeasties, Yggdrasil has made a name for itself in the last few years with their stellar slot game releases so the newest launch has many in the iGaming industry salivating.
Claiming to offer a 5x8 grid and 82 ways to win, Yggdrasil's Power Plant brings a futuristic gameplay to the portrait-mode of your mobile device, a first of it's kind. The elongated slot structure positions the game to perfectly fit the portrait mode of a mobile device, as opposed to the horizontal look most slots feature. Yggdrasil believes this is a trend on the cusp of going main stream as mobile slots begin to dominate the industry.
Like NetEnt's Fairytale Legends: Hansel Gretel, Yggdrasil targeted the 24th of April for the release date so starting Monday, players can see what it's like to play a topnotch slot in portrait mode. If you're interested in earning some free spins and want to check out the newest titles from two of the world's most elite developers, head over to Dunder Casino this weekend and start spinning!

Our previous two robots have been more brawn than brain. Our DiscRover is the exact opposite. It's little more than two motors, two wheels, and two plastic discs. Most of the action in this project is in the microcontroller brain (and the supporting motor controller). To gain a full appreciation for what this robot can do, let's first discuss the controllers we'll be using.
The microcontroller module we'll use on this project is called the OOPic (pronounced EW-pik). A PIC is a programmable integrated circuit or, in other words, an IC that you can download programs into. The OO in OOPic stands for object-oriented (programming).

Giants Fan Runs Out on The Field; Gets Destroyed By Security (Video)
On Friday, the Washington Nationals took on the San Francisco Giants and defeated them by a score of 4-1 at AT&T park.
The real action was in the stands as a Giants fan, who was probably drunk at the moment, ran out on the field of play and after a quick little foot race, he dropped to his knees giving up. But ultimately, that only opened himself up to be absolutely destroyed by a charging security guard.

To use a pecan gatherer, also called a nut gatherer or nut roller, gently roll the tool's wire basket over the area with nuts or other small items that need gathering. To release the gathered nuts, carefully spread the wires, and remove them.Continue Reading
Larger nut rollers with attached baskets are easier to use than manual versions. To operate this nut roller, push while walking over the area where nuts have dropped. When the basket is full, lift the basket out by the handles, empty the nuts, replace the basket, and keep on pushing.
To use a wire dumper, place the bracket legs around the outside of the bucket, and set the basket at an angle across the wire, giving a gentle shake to make the nuts fall into the bucket. Some nut rollers have quick-release cage spreaders. To use this, push the cage spreader up to the basket, and then shake the nuts from the basket.
Nut rollers pick up items other than nuts, such as small fruit, flower heads, acorns and even brass casings. Some nut rollers are large enough to pick up pine cones. Store the nut roller in a position that prevents it from becoming damaged between uses.Learn more about Trees & Bushes


text: The Semantic Web has been a very important development in how knowledge is disseminated and manipulated on the Web, but it has been of particular importance to the flow of scientific knowledge, and will continue to shape how data is stored and accessed in a broad range of disciplines, including life sciences, earth science, materials science, and the social sciences. After first presenting papers on the foundations of semantic e-science, including papers on scientific knowledge acquisition, data integration, and workflow, this volume looks at the state of the art in each of the above-mentioned disciplines, presenting research on semantic web applications in the life, earth, materials, and social sciences. Drawing papers from three semantic web workshops, as well as papers from several invited contributors, this volume illustrates how far semantic web applications have come in helping to manage scientific information flow.

Semenya leads a Rio repeat in the 800m at Swiss Diamond League
- Updated: September 1, 2016
By Mark Etheridge
It was a case of different day but the same result as Caster Semenya led an Olympic 1-2-3 home in the Diamond League meeting in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday night.
Crowned Olympic 800m champion just 11 days ago, Semenya ran with Swiss precision to clock a winning time of 1min 56.44sec for the two-lap affair.
Behind here were Burundi's Francine Niyonsaba and Kenya's Margaret Wambui in 1:56.76 and 1:57.04 respectively… in the same order as in Rio.
Semenya, whose 1:55.28 in Rio was the fastest time in the world for 22 years, was drawn alongside Lindsey Sharp, one of her most outspoken critics before the Olympics, but the Brit ended up 11th on the night as Semenya picked up $40,000 for taking the Diamond Race title after a season's hard racing.
Twelve athletes started the race but Semenya made sure she was always out of trouble and although the starter went off at a suicidal pace the halfway mark was still reached in 55.37, just outside the requested 55sec pace.
Try as they might Niyonsabi and Wambui and home town favourite Selina Buchel weren't able to shake the South African and her superior finishing speed carried her clear.
Earlier it was Semenya's fellow Olympian Wenda Theron who ended fourth in the 400m hurdles in 44.15 behind American Shamier Little (55.97). And yet another Olympic hurdler, LJ van Zyl, ran a great race to end third in the men's 400m hurdles in 48.79sec.
Said coach Irma Reyneke, who coaches both hurdlers and was part of Team SA at the recent Olympics: 'Wenda ran well tonight. She's at the stage of her career where she's running her best ever. In the last two years she's run a lot more Diamond League races and that's where one gets the experience.
'I think she's lying fourth or so in the standings and that's an amazing feat. I think we'll only see in the next year or so what two years of Diamond League experience means to her career.
'As for LJ, he really ran beautifully tonight and it's always a pleasure to watch him. He's an unbelievable athlete, and has been for so many years. To finish third in the Diamond League series is just brilliant as well.'
Van Zyl said: 'It was one of my nicest races of the year… I actually wasn't in the race until the night before. I was on the waiting list and there was a late withdrawal.'
In the last race with South African participation it was Olympic 100m finalist Akani Simbine who chased Asafa Powell all the way to the line to end with 9.99 as the Jamaican ran his 98th legal sub 10sec 100m event.

Have you ever read a tweet or meme and heard the inflection of a specific voice in your head? We all have a friend, relative, or coworker with such a distinct voice, that we can hear them above all other sounds– even in a packed, noisy bar or in the airport. Have you ever logged into Twitter to see two celebrities locked in an argument or battle of wits? You secretly wish, "If only I could hear this, instead of just reading it!" Well, now you can! Never miss another nuanced expression, a sarcastic exclamation, a silly impression of the president, or that exclusive celebrity interview with this new social media management app!
Comedian Ricky Gervais recently collaborated with David Hayden, CEO of the voice-technology company, CloudTalk, to release a new mobile app called Just Sayin'. This app uses a voice-recording tool to let users post a combination of spoken updates, images, and videos to Facebook and Twitter via their iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
The way the app works, is that you post voice-recorded messages onto the platform similarly to the way you would post an image on Instagram. Like Instagram, the audio and video messages can then be shared via Twitter or Facebook. Your followers can now hear your tweet as well as read it!
While the app is currently being used largely for entertainment purposes, Gervais refers to it as a business app as well. The app's co-founder, Hayden, believes that adding the human voice to social media is, "the next big thing." He adds that news outlets could use it to broadcast voice interviews, celebrities could use it to interact with fans, politicians could use it for public statements, and the average person could use it to simply say what's on their mind. This new social media platform offers a user the opportunity to voice his or her opinion and then engage in conversations with many others.
Gervais has been podcasting for years now, so for him, expanding the social aspect to voice recorded conversations was a logical next step. The entertainer appeared on USA Today saying that this new app, "will be to radio what Twitter was to newsprint." His analogy references the way in which Twitter users, sharing images and stories of live occurrences from all around the globe, can directly affect media campaigns and news content.
Small business owners and entrepreneurs can use this app to record instructions, dogmas, daily musings, hiring requirements, and much more. You can offer employees the option of voice memos, digital meetings, and virtual water cooler conversations.
Perhaps this app will encourage Internet gabbers to develop well thought out and interesting voice recordings– or it could lead to an influx of angst-y teenage rants about overprotective parents. Whatever the case, its developers believe it will turn out to be something really positive. Offering social media users a chance to use their unique voices, to really stand out and be human in a world of automation. The idea that millions of people will be able to engage in public conversations is, indeed, revolutionary and innovative.

Those who are familiar with the term "mushrooming" are certainly informed about how many different species of mushrooms there are in the world, and how powerful, yet sometimes very dangerous, these fungi can be for every living creature.
However, the "meat" of the vegetable world is very high in fiber, very rich in various minerals and vitamins, in particular selenium, cooper, potassium and Vitamins B, while very low in calories.
Very famous in Chinese, Japanese, European and Korean cuisine, mushrooms have also been used for dying natural fibbers and wool, while some fungi, for instance polypore, have been used as fire starters.
As for the medical usage, some mushrooms are used in radiation treatment and chemotherapy, whereas the other shows antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti diabetic and cardiovascular potentials.
Tibetan Mushrooms
The story about a Polish professor who managed to cure liver cancer during his stay in India is the best introduction that can present healing powers that Tibetan mushrooms posses. Moreover, he was the one who brought this mushroom in Europe.
Before Tibetan mushroom gain so much popularity in Europe, only Tibetan monks knew its benefits and values because they were the one who cultivated it.
As mushrooms in general, Tibetan mushroom also has the high nutritional content, as for the vitamins and minerals, these fungus contains vitamins A, D, and E, zinc, iron, selenium, cooper, and molybdenum.
In the world of health this fungi is called "living remedy" because of the kefir, a probiotic milk containing lactic acid bacteria, which is in fact fermented Tibetan mushroom.
The "History" of Kefir
Kefir has its origins from the shepherds of the Caucasus Mountains. One legend says that kefir was a gift from God and that the prophet Muhammad blessed the grains. The people were instructed on how to make kefir and were told not to share the secret with anyone because kefir would lose its "magic strength".
Russia tells us the story of Irina Sakharova, an employee of the Blandov brothers, two cheese makers who were instructed to search for the secret of kefir.
Irina was to bewitch the Caucasian prince Bek-Mirza Barchorov and to steal the kefir grains. The prince refused to give up the grains, as well as Irina. The Blandov brothers rescued Irina, and together they brought the case against the prince to the Czar's court.
The Prince lost the case, and offered Irina gold and jewels, but she insisted on kefir grains, and finally in 1908 she was famous for bringing the first batch of kefir grains in Moscow.

Health Benefits of Kefir
Scientists have been fascinated with the healing characteristics of kefir, and they discovered that kefir has anti-bacterial, and antifungal effects and anti-allergic properties. It has been noted that this milk has a significant role in the healing and restoration of damaged nerve cells and as a result, it can improve person's cognitive abilities.
Moreover, Kefir is incredible mood transformer, because of the polysaccharide grains that have aphrodisiac properties.
Kefir can:
• Control psoriasis and eczema,
• Suspend aging cells therefore has youthful effect and influence on the skin and body cells,
• Normalize metabolism and appetite thus, influence on the weight lose,
• Restore the micro flora in digestive system,
• Lower blood sugar and normalize blood pressure,
• Relax the nervous system and improve memory and attention,
• Cure Candida, liver disease and gallbladder,
• Treat gastritis, pancreatitis, and stomach ulcers,
• Influence significantly in treatments of inflammatory diseases,
• Treat heart diseases and clean blood vessels,
• Alleviate symptoms of diarrhea and chronic constipation,
• Stop the growth of cancer cells,
• Help with depression and sleep disorders,
• Influence on the speed of the process of healing bruises,
• Decrease lactose intolerance,
• Help with irregular diets,
• Regulates the state of fatigue and boost energy, and
• Completely clear the organism from heavy metals, chemical antibiotics, kidney stones, pathogen microorganisms.
Although not all of the healing properties and benefits have been scientifically proven, kefir milk surely is a tremendous living remedy that has great potential waiting to be described and confirmed.
One thing is for sure, more and more people are focusing their attention on this fungus, because, above all, Tibetan mushroom is without any doubt a powerful immune system booster, and it has been for centuries.

The Neami Health Prompt is a physical health screening resource developed by Neami National in response to the physical health needs of individuals accessing Neami services. The resource was developed with the primary purpose of supporting health conversations between staff and consumers. This is the final report of a 6-month Health Prompt Review.
Research library
Our online library of research and evaluations
This document tells the story of Neami National and Sunrise Health working together to establish a mental health support service in Ngukurr—a remote Aboriginal Community in the Northern Territory.
Neami are undertaking this study to explore the effectiveness of a program that has been developed to support people living with mental health difficulties to reduce or quit smoking.
Peer Health Coaching is a one-on-one program where peer support workers trained in Peer Health Coaching provide six health focused coaching sessions to support people living with mental illness to achieve their identified physical health goals.
Neami researchers are partnering with University of Western Australia Research Fellow Dr Hanh Ngo to undertake an evaluation of the Joondalup Mental Health Step Up Step Down (JMHSS) service.
Neami National is in an optimal position to examine, support and promote health literacy amongst consumers and staff.
This project involves seven inter-related studies designed to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of Victoria's Prevention and Recovery Care Services (PARCS)
There is a critical need to explore strategies for increasing the provision of smoking cessation support in mental health services through organisational change and capacity building exercises.
Wadamba Wilam is an intensive outreach support service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experiencing homelessness and mental health problems in the Darebin and Whittlesea regions of Melbourne. Recently staff from Wadamba Wilam approached psychologist Graham Gee with an interest in using the Aboriginal Resilience and Recovery Questionnaire (ARRQ) as a culturally sensitive strengths based assessment tool.
The project will describe the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of employment support as implemented within Neami (i.e. IPS informed by the CRM) and will capture outcomes of job acquisition, employment duration, hours worked per week, total hours and wages, service intensity, and days to first job.

Northern California Coastal & Inland Valleys
December, 2009
Regional Report
The West Australian pitcher plant has a hungry look. Woe to the insect that finds itself prey to this beautiful carnivore!
Crazed for Carnivores!
I am positively mad for carnivorous plants. When I met my first Venus fly trap, it was love at first sight. Needless to say, I adore the movie Little Shop of Horrors. The fact that the dentist gets it in the end only adds to my appreciation.
My first fly trap was purchased from the local drug store as a novelty when I was about 11 years old. There were no growing instructions and no Internet back then to search for same. Consequently, the little plant was force-fed dead flies that I found on the windowsill. At that time I didn't know that fly traps were meant to be grown outdoors, or that they were very sensitive to minerals in the water. All I knew was that my plant failed to respond after a few feedings. It would probably have come back to life if I had simply set it outside to fend for itself, but I didn't know that at the time.
Peter D'Amato, author of The Savage Garden and owner of California Carnivores nursery in Sebastopol, held the same fascination with carnivorous plants at an early age but rather than cast them aside after his first failure, he became an expert on their cultivation. His nursery holds the world's largest collection of carnivorous plants, and it's right in our own back yard! According to D'Amato, carnivorous plants grow on every continent that has wet, boggy land, even those that freeze in the winter. Carnivores have adapted over time to find their own sustenance in locations void of nutrients.
I was feeling the need to try my hand at carnivore cultivation again after the vandals from the neighborhood bar stole my last collection of plants. My friends Joyce and Gary accompanied me for the short, one-hour drive across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sebastopol. The nursery was easy to find with the directions from the Web site (http://www.californiacarnivores.com) and it was open for business. I danced through the doors like a child in a candy store!
Sundews, flytraps, butterworts, nepenthes, pitcher plants and bladderworts covered every bench. There was a dissection in progress that spilled the gory contents of a pitcher plant for all to see. What a greedy little pitcher plant it had been! The tube that was the leaf was packed solid with semi-digested insect bodies. I admired the big nepenthes, some with leaves 12 inches long. Nepenthes are probably the most evil looking of the carnivore family of plants, although the Australian pitcher plants came in a close second.
The darlingtonia (California Cobra lily) gave a very fair impression of a cobra snake poised to strike, complete with hooded head and forked tongue. Most pitcher plants want to be grown outdoors. With my history of plant-thieving vandals so near, I had to pass this entire family of plants.
Instead, I selected a windowsill collection of sundews (Drosera spp.), plants that have innocent looking leaves covered with a sparkly glue that will trap an unwary insect before digesting same with a sticky enzyme disguised as nectar. The three little plants will grow happily on the window sill in my office, keeping me company and the flying insect population under control.
California Carnivores is one of the most interesting nurseries I have ever had the pleasure to visit. Owner Peter D'Amato has a sense of humor which is evident throughout the premises. Signs stating, "Shoplifters Will be Eaten," giant plastic wasps dangling between the isles and faux body parts under the benches are clues to the type of plants that are grown there.
Please do plan a visit if you have the opportunity. At the very least you will be amazed at the diversity of this unique family of plants.

As a parent you are the first person to have a major influence on your child's reading habits.
Through Duffy Books in Homes you can get involved in their reading in so many different ways.
Check out some of the ideas on the right or look through some of the other resources in this section for ideas.
Help them choose
When your child receives their Book Offer brochure you can ask them which books they like, whether they have read something by that author before or whether you would like reading a particular book with them.
Get excited
When it's getting close to their Role Model assembly and book presentation kids love to see that their parents are just as excited as they are. Talk about the books that they ordered and who their special Role Model is going to be.
Take some time out
When your child brings home their new book or books, ask if they would like you to read with them (or to them if they have just started school). Reading to your kids is a wonderful way to improve their reading and also a great way to spend time together.
Get involved
Find out when the school is having their Role Model assembly, Duffy Theatre show or Mainfreight Award and join in the fun! Not only will these events give you a great insight into how the programme works in the school but it will you give you some great things to discuss with your child afterwards.
Give the gift of reading
Every November you will receive a catalogue from which you can choose a book or books to give to your child at Christmas time for a price much lower than you would find in a bookstore. Receiving a book as a present from you tells your child that reading is something worthwhile.
Support your school
Many schools are lucky enough to have the assistance of their parents in running the Duffy Books in Homes programme. You could offer to help label the books for a class, wrap the boxes of books in wrapping paper or even assist with the school's fundraising efforts. Any support you can offer the school is greatly appreciated.

Bobbi Kristina memorial held
Sun 02 Aug 2015, 10:14
The funeral was invitation only and closely guarded, with family members said to be concerned about photographs of the late star being leaked to press.
Bobbi Kristina Brown's funeral has taken place in Georgia.
The 22-year-old daughter of late singer Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown died on July 26 after being in a coma for almost six months. Friday night her family gathered for a wake, and on Saturday loved ones attended a service to celebrate her life.
The funeral was invitation only and closely guarded, with family members said to be concerned about photographs of the late star being leaked to press.
Catch all your entertainment news on E! daily at 17:00 CAT.
It took place at the Saint James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, with Bobby and singer Monica among the mourners.
Following days of speculation, Nick Gordon was not at the funeral. He was raised as Bobbi Kristina's brother by Whitney, who wasn't his biological mother, and then began a relationship with Bobbi Kristina.
At one point the pair claimed to have married, but it was confirmed nuptials hadn't taken place after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at the end of January.
Nick has been accused of abuse in a lawsuit filed by those handling Bobbi Kristina's affairs. He had written a letter asking her family to allow him to attend today's service.
It has been reported that the funeral had a Sweet 16 theme, tanks to Bobbi Kristina's aunt Pat Houston.
Bobbi Kristina's will be buried next to Whitney in the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield. There will also be a memorial on Monday at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, which is where Whitney's funeral took place following her death in February 2012.

Republican operative and dark money overlord Karl Rove's moment of on-air discombobulation did not go unnoticed at Fox News's rival network MSNBC. A few of the liberal network's hosts took a moment to relish the spectacle of the man once known as "Bush's brain" attempting to willfully disconnect from reality regarding the vote counts coming in from Ohio.
"I don't mean to cross-advertise here," said Rachel Maddow, "but I want to note that conservative cable news network Fox News Channel – Fox News Channel called Ohio for Obama, but the on-air talent is refusing to concede that they believe it. Karl Rove is describing this as being just like 2000 and it is not over."
"Can you define that word 'talent' for the people who are not in this industry?" "Hardball" host Chris Matthews chimed in, "They happen to have positions. It doesn't say anything about their quality."
"People who wear makeup and have cameras pointed at them," Maddow clarified.
Later in the segment, she took a moment to underscore what this meant in term's of Rove's role in the election itself.
"What's happening on the right is that one of the on-air contributors at the Fox News Channel is also one of the single largest outside spenders in this race in favor of Mitt Romney, who is Karl Rove, who is now trying to get – on air – the Fox News Channel to rescind its call in Ohio in favor of the candidate that he has bankrolled to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars," she said.
Chuck Todd agreed with her, but said that this was only to be expected, given that a significant portion of the conservative community has been living inside an information bubble of "skewed" polls and bad information. "A big chunk" of whatever side loses, he said, will refuse to accept the legitimacy of the election.

A Russian state television presenter said Sunday he had invited US Senator John McCain to appear on his chat show to discuss his views on Syria.
Vladimir Solovyov, known for his pro-Kremlin stance, said he had invited the Republican senator, who opposes Russia's strategy on Syria, to appear on his live talk show, "Sunday Night."
He also said that the channel guaranteed that McCain "would have the chance to talk directly live to Russians."
The powerful senator, who was the Republicans' nominee for president in 2008, backed US strikes against Syria and opposes the Russian and US deal on Damascus putting its chemical weapons under international control.
The invitation was unusual for Russian state television, which rarely gives airtime to foreigners except for Hollywood stars. It also barely shows Russian politicians with opposition views.
McCain has apparently agreed to write an op-ed for a Russian news website called Pravda.ru in response to Putin's opinion piece on the Syrian conflict in The New York Times last week.
Dmitry Sudakov, English-language editor at Pravda.Ru told AFP on Sunday that McCain would write for the website.
The website of US magazine Foreign Policy last week wrote that it had contacted Pravda.ru to ask if it would run a piece by McCain.
Its journalist then passed the suggestion to McCain, whose spokesman said he agreed to submit an article.
It was unclear whether McCain realised Pravda.ru now has no connection with the Pravda newspaper, a little-read organ of the Russian Communist Party that was once the must-read newspaper for Soviet officials.
The Pravda.ru website was started by former Pravda journalists in the late 1990s.

On Tuesday, we went to the London Book Fair. It's quite a trek all the way to the 'Big Smoke' in torrential rain and rush-hour traffic. We tried to set off at 7am but that didn't go too well and we eventually started off properly at gone 8.
There was no stress though, we didn't have any appointments or expectations, we were going more for a day out together than we were for anything professional.
Last year we had our visit cut short by Trev, my husband, collapsing and being admitted to Charing Cross hospital. He had kidney stones and was in utter agony. He had to stay the night because of the medication he had been given and I had to find my way out of London without a clue where I was going. The sat-nav on my phone was no help because the battery had died - just typical! I went past Charing Cross hospital at least 4 times before I finally found the pointer towards the M4 (it was close enough by that time).
Anyway, back to this year. We arrived, booked in and started wandering around. We had a few ideas on what we'd like to look at but unlike last year, we had not made any plans - we didn't want to tempt fate again!
We drifted towards Helen Hart's stand where she was showcasing Silverwood Books. We do like Helen, she's a very kind and knowledgeable woman.
We got to talking, as you do, about past businesses and experiences and a few things came to light. Apparently, in our time together, Trev and I have done some pretty amazing things.
I started a business from scratch and sold to multi-million pound companies, such as Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, Everton FC and the like (loads more football clubs too). I also sold merchandise to a company that worked with The Rocky Horror Show (the stage production). Because of my contact with them, when they got a new, up-and-coming Pop star on their books, they asked if I could make men's underwear.
Yes, I know, it's rather a strange request but as I'd been making garters and such for football clubs, it's not too great a stretch is it?
I told them that I could and was asked to send in 3 pairs of identical men's briefs. So, off they went and I thought nothing about it until I received one pair back with a sparkly design on the front. 'How odd' I thought.
It wasn't until later that I got the surprise of my life. My children were watching TV when a new release for one of my favourite singers came on. Robbie Williams was singing 'Rock DJ'. It was a rather unusual video, he was standing in the centre of a roller rink, being ignored by the female skaters. Robbie desperate to gain attention began to remove his clothes.
OK, now I was interested.
He took off his jeans and what did I see... Yes! You guessed! The very same underwear that I had made!
Of course, excitement reigned in our household and even now, I can still say that I had my hands in Robbie Williams' pants!
What a claim to fame!

India Is Building Its First Ever Quantum Computer
News September 23, 2017 Arjun Singh 0
Quantum computer is a new breed of computing machines whose true potential is yet to be explored by humans.
China has also made their name by building quantum computers. Similarly, in the private space, D-Wave and IBM are known for their quantum computing products.
According to a report by The Hindu, the Department of Science and Technology is planning to fund India's first quantum computer project.
Until now, efforts made by academic institutions including IISc, Bangalore, and Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, have been on the theoretical side. A workshop, attracting experts from all over the country, will be held in Allahabad this month to discuss the groundwork for the quantum computer.
Meanwhile, you can read more about quantum computing and the latest development in this area.

Teenage son Russy gets a hotel-inspired makeover to turn his boring bedroom into the hottest spot in the house. Unexpected problems take Rev to the edge of his nerves.
Homeowners Jessica and Matt Scholl want to smash the fake brick, fake wood paneling and fake deer in their basement and the half wall and old cabinets in their kitchen. Whatever they smash, Jason Cameron will fix. They don't finish the kitchen, but the basement is all on Jason. His plan calls for a cool painted ceiling, custom vinyl banquettes, a special wood wall treatment and everything you'd find in an English style pub.
Amy and Kurt moved into their 1964 split entry, lakefront home three years ago and the DIY projects haven't stopped.? Now, they want to take on their lower level 60's style pool house bath and they're calling in Jeff Devlin for some professional help.? With an awesome see-thru fireplace, French doors allowing access to the water, a cool custom vanity, cute cubby cabinets ?and volcanic tiles this bathroom will be the envy of everyone on the lake.
Brothers Raj and Beej have a huge family and space is running out. Younger brother Beej's priorities conflict with Raj's but when Bryan chooses the reno they need, he may ignite a family feud.
Carmen and Alex have saved up for their first reno but disagree on what room to do. They are thrilled with Bryan's help, until a particular wall becomes a bigger deal than it's worth.
Stefanie and Mike have hit all of their milestones in one year, marriage, a new home and a new baby on the way. But will Bryan be able to manage this mom to be, when she begins to fight for two?
JP blames Bryan for giving his wife unrealistic expectations on renovation timelines. Bryan has to give JP's reno-TV-loving wife Julia a renovation reality check.
Faye & Adam have a lot of wants for their small home, but space is limited. Bryan has to work with big wants, a small space and even smaller room for compromise.
Steve knows his wife Pauline has trouble seeing the final vision come together but her indecisiveness might end up costing them big in the end. Its time for Bryan to step in and make her vision a reality.
Nicole has her hands full a new home and an opinionated husband named Regan. She is at her wits end with her house and her husband. So she called in Bryan for mercy, but will his plan help - or hell?
Nicole's next project is restoring an historic mansion in the Summit district of St. Paul. Unfortunately some key rooms have been completely ripped apart and her first task is to rebuild the gutted powder room from scratch. With the original materials no longer available Nicole gets creative with custom paneling and salvaged tile and creates a brand new room with a 1904 feel.
Nicole turns her attention to taking the pink and gold kitsch out of the formal dining room. Restoring the floors, swapping out sconces and repairing the stained glass windows take the room out of the 1970s and back to 1904. Meanwhile, at another of her houses, a buyer pulls out at the 11th hour causing Nicole to make some quick decisions.
Nicole cleans up the swimming pool and converts some garage space into a much needed changing room area. Tapping into the sewer line causes more mess than she bargained for while she also finds some time to take some swimming lessons.
Nicole takes on the living room and study, restoring the rooms to their former 1904 glory by polishing up the original woodworking details in the rooms. She stains the damaged floors in the living room to cover up years of neglect and discovers a shocking surprise in the study. In the midst of renovation, Nicole finds the time to swap out her boots for high heels for a women's health charity event.
The Summit mansion hasn't been painted since 1972 and needs a major face lift. After years of damage, all of the outdoor wood railing and detail are rotting and need to be replaced. Nicole rips out the rotting wood and repaints them to match the original color of the brick. To complete the look of the historic home, Nicole builds new brick columns with brick on the deck. Nicole's son Ethan learns some of her renovation tricks when he pitches in and replaces some of the original beams and runs errands around town.
Nicole tackles the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom which have had their natural beauty covered in old wallpaper and fixtures. She brings out the beauty of the original birdseye maple woodwork in the bedroom, restores the two bedroom's fireplaces and removes the tacky kitsch from the bathroom. At another house, people line up to see Nicole's work and raise money for a fallen soldier.
Nicole puts a modern twist on the 1904 Summit Mansion in St. Paul when she installs an elevator in the middle of the home. A first for Nicole, she has to get the measurements exactly right throughout all three floors, or else she's just created a massive non-functioning hole in the middle of the historic home.
Nicole rushes to her Minnesota home from a family vacation to find burst pipes and a flooded house due to the extreme cold. She and her crew tear through the house and create 20 massive holes before they discover all of the leaks. They get to work replacing all of the water lines, radiators and boiler. Nicole takes a break from the stress of the house by skydiving from 13,000 feet to the start line of a 10K run in Florida before returning to replace all of the water lines and patch the holes in her home.
Nicole teams with basketball superstar LeBron James to renovate a special family's house in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. They tackle the dingy dilapidated kitchen first. The team guts the kitchen by ripping out the cabinets, a first for Nicole who typically likes to keep the original structure, and install solid wood cabinets, granite countertops and brand new appliances. They also create an outdoor patio and new driveway for the family to relax in and play, what else, basketball. Nicole's family, LeBron's family and the foundation all pitch in to overhaul this home in a week. Can they finish?
Nicole continues work on the Akron, Ohio, project with Lebron James. It's time to tackle the rest of the first floor, the living room and dining room. Once the nasty old carpet is removed to reveal beautiful old pine floors, Nicole can start to see her vision for a comfortable, functional and very stylish living space. It's all about making this dilapidated space feel grand once again. Even while busy in Akron, Nicole never stops salvaging & designs these spaces around new photos of the family using old windows saved from a dumpster.
Downstairs is done at the Akron, Ohio house Nicole is rehabbing with LeBron and his foundation and now attention turns to the bathroom. This bathroom is a gut-job but the saving grace for Nicole is a beautiful, old built in cabinet which she and her army of volunteers restore. Leaving her tilers for an hour or two Nicole gets dressed up and heads to a huge stadium event to welcome the basketball superstar back to Akron.
The interior is coming along beautifully and now it's time to give the exterior of the family house in Akron a facelift. LeBron and his kids spar off with Nicole in a duel of diggers to tear out the front steps and regrade the yard. A tricky design challenge makes laying the new path stretch late into the night, but it's all worth it come morning. Lebron helps put up the flag and now the family has a home they can be proud of.
Nicole, LeBron and the LeBron James Family Foundation continue with their project to renovate a needy family's home into a renovated beauty. 11 year old Mariah deserves a room fit for a princess, just not a pink one! And her brothers will no longer share a room and get to pick their own colors for their own rooms. To finish on time LeBron's army of volunteers steps up, the family lends a hand and Nicole puts her personal touch on each room for these special kids. What will they say when they see their rooms?
Hard working mom, Nicole Curtis is on a mission to create a master bedroom for mom Melanie in the final episode of the Lebron James Family Foundation house. The attic room turns from an overheated dumping ground to an air-conditioned oasis in just a few short days. Nicole comes up with a genius and inexpensive storage solution in the awkward space and in just one week, the whole house is finished. Time to bring the family in, this is a reveal you don't want to miss!

Michael has a big surprise in store for his wife Kimberly and is enlisting the help of Mom Cave's Beth Stern and the Kitchen Cousins to make it happen. Kimberly has sweet childhood memories of cooking authentic Italian dishes with her father in their Tuscan kitchen. And now that her father is in a nursing home, Michael wants to bring Kimberly back to her childhood by resurrecting that kitchen in their Long Island home. Kitchen Cousins John and Anthony are the perfect guys for the job. They love the idea of recreating the Tuscan kitchen from Kimberly's youth while adding new elements to make it even more unique. Built-in wine barrels with flowing taps fit Kimberly's adult side while the must-have terra cotta floors bring back all the memories of cooking with her dad. The cousins have a big job ahead of them. Will the kitchen live up to Kimberly's dreams and properly commemorate her father?

But the anti-spam features allowed a significant amount of spam to pass, and worse, identified lots of legitimate e-mail as spam.
Searching for legitimate e-mails that are wrongly flagged as spam can take just as long or longer than sifting through unfiltered e-mail and picking out and flicking the spam. But when you review unfiltered e-mail, at least you won't send important e-mails into that flagged never never land where it can be forgotten.
Parents can rely on NIS to shield kids from inappropriate websites, but the program can't apply different Web filtering levels to different members of the family. Again, it's all or nothing.
Symantec has improved its help features. The AutoFix feature identifies problems and suggests potential fixes. And if it can't fix the problem, it directs you to e-mail, chat, and telephone resources. As before, pricing is based on a subscription that includes one year of automatic definition updates, new product features, and access to updated versions.
While it's hard to quantify the length of time that you may have to wait for phone help, something that Symantec has been criticized for in the past, there is an option for a tech rep to take over your computer and fix a problem. Even though you may have to wait for it, there's a decent chance that your technical issues can be solved.
Security Specifics
There are lots of security options out there, even from Symantec itself. The company's own Norton 360 is a competing product that costs ten dollars more and offers features to backup and restore folders and files and unerase deleted folders and files. Norton 360 also hosts an online storage service and can additionally find and fix problems that are hindering a computer's performance. It's well worth the extra money if you don't already have a backup system in place.
For 2008, the addition of Norton Identity Safe and the streamlined background performance are welcome additions. Symantec has delivered a product that is worth the upgrade.
Norton Internet Security 2008 requires Windows Vista, a 300MHz or higher processor, 256MB of RAM and 350MB of available hard disk space. Norton Internet Security 2008 is priced at $69.99, which offers protection for up to three computers in a household (upgrade $49.99). A two-year subscription may be purchased for $114.99.

Tips on how to maintain a web presence for your school.
A school website serves as a window into your school and is a great way to communicate with the school's wider community.
The site acts as a central hub of school information providing parents with helpful resources like announcements, menus, school events, sports schedules, etc.
A website also puts your school on the map. If someone were to Google your school, ideally, the school website would be the first item to pop up.

So, let's talk gluten-free sourdough. Turns out it exists:) Living with a mom who grew up in San Francisco, I was instilled with a love for "real" sourdough bread. During my family's yearly trips to the Bay Area, we always set aside time to venture to the Ferry building open market to buy the good stuff—Acme. As you may have noticed, I usually don't include bread in traditional carby dishes, opting for cabbage cups or collared wraps. But, hey, it's too hard to pass up the authentic stuff, especially when you're on vacation. I can't resist the combination of that chewy mouthful of crispy crust and its sour dough tang—something I definitely haven't found in Southern Californian varieties.
Luckily, through Instagram, I was delighted to discover the company Bread Srsly. They offer several kinds of authentic sourdough, opting to use healthy, allergen-free ingredients! When I'm in the mood for a vegan gluten-free bread, I spend way too much time reading through a long list of ingredients, only to discover that the baked good contains eggs or a dairy product. But this bread contains simple, pure ingredients—just seven to be exact. I just had to have it. So, after months of thinking about ordering the bread but delaying the process, I was fortunate enough to meet the company's Founder last April and sample her delectable bread at Artisanal LA. Boy, does it deliver. Bread Srsly's sourdough has that real San Francisco flavor! I still can't get over it. So, as soon as I took a couple of varieties of the bread home, I knew that I would create something special.
More than any other meal, I love breakfast and usually crave the sweet stuff. Now that I've become somewhat of a pancake pro, I typically whip up a stack, but after tasting the bread, I knew it would be the PERFECT foundation for my French toast recipe. With everything I needed on hand, I started to whisk up something special. Flour is the secret adhesive for the perfect eggless French toast and, since almond flour was in my pantry (in fact any flour would work in this recipe), I went for it. Almond flour is an amazing option I think everyone should start trying. It has this amazing nutty flavor and unique texture that you can't get from anything else. And, if you add coconut, it's absolutely delicious! The combination of almond flour and coconut produces the perfect coating for crisp French toast. The outcome was absolutely delectable. The tangy thick slices of doughy bread with the nutty crisp coating and a generous drizzle of maple syrup—it's simply out of this world. A finger-licking French toast. Srsly.
Coconut Crusted French Toast
serves 4-6
- 1 loaf sourdough bread of choice (I used Bread Srsly's classic gluten-free sourdough)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any non-dairy milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (I prefer the larger shredded coconut)
- Coconut oil in a spray can for frying
- Start by slicing bread into desired thickness—I recommend 3/4-inch thick. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Prepare your assembly line by pouring the shredded coconut onto a plate and have a baking sheet ready to place the coated bread slices. Start by submerging the bread, slice by slice, into the batter. Let the batter drip off so it isn't too wet, and then coat the battered sourdough with the shredded coconut. Flip and coat the other side. Make sure to pat the coconut into the batter once it's on the bread to make sure it adheres. Then place on the baking sheet and prepare the remaining slices.
*Tip: Make sure to whisk batter before preparing each slice because almond flour tends to sink to the bottom of the bowl.
- Heat a non-stick skillet* over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with coconut oil and place a prepared bread slice on the skillet. Cook for about four minutes or until brown and crisp on the edges. Flip and cook on the other side an additional four minutes. Repeat using the remaining bread slices.
*Tip: Always use a non-stick skillet! French toast prepared in a cast-iron skillet will stick, causing the coating to come off.
- Serve hot with sliced banana, an additional sprinkle of coconut, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

text: This is really odd. I have my G6lite about a year with no problems what so ever. Last night I was playing tetris and all of a sudden the game froze. I turned it off and tried to load tetris again but I got an error saying that the data could not be read. So I turned it off again and tried to load another game and it loaded fine but the save was gone. I tried all the games I have on it and they all load (Except tetris) but the save have gone from SOME of them! So this morning I tried to connect it to my pc but no luck. It comes up as a removable drive but I cant access it (The light doesn't come on either) Has this happened to anyone else?

Commonwealth Games Provides The Salvation Army in Scotland with Opportunities for Ministry
HER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II formally opened the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, UK, last night (23 July). The sporting spectacle brings together 4,500 athletes from 71 countries for 11 days of competition across 17 disciplines. Events will be attended by a million people, with an estimated TV audience of a billion. The Salvation Army in Scotland will be playing a major role, staging a range of initiatives to enable visitors and locals to make the most of the event.
With temperatures forecast to exceed 25°C at times, spectators making their way to and from events on Glasgow's busy public transport network will be offered water to combat dehydration. Adopting a model honed at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, legions of Salvation Army volunteers will be working up a sweat as they hand out tens of thousands of bottles of water at railway stations close to the Games venues. With a history of service in the city dating back to the late 1800s, The Salvation Army will be on hand to offer local advice as needed.
The Salvation Army is also taking part in a More Than Gold scheme to give athletes' families and Games volunteers a place to stay during the event. More than 170 people from churches across Scotland are hosting such visitors, many of whom would otherwise be unable to afford the experience. Erskine Corps (Salvation Army church), on the banks of the River Clyde near Glasgow, hosted a special dinner for 60 Games volunteers of different nationalities on Sunday 20 July.
Bobby Weir, Sports Ministry Coordinator for The Salvation Army's United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland, was thrilled to run with the Queen's Baton through his home town of Airdrie. He shared the honour with Captain Stephen Moir, corps officer in Cumbernauld, in recognition of the inspirational work they are doing in their respective communities.
A qualified sports coach, Bobby is seizing the opportunity to help communities enjoy healthy lives, including clients of Salvation Army drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation centres who can benefit from sporting activities.
Meanwhile, Scottish corps from Orkney in the north to Stranraer in the south will be holding special sports-themed activities this summer, through a programme designed to establish a sporting legacy.
While the Games are intended to be a celebration of sporting achievement across the Commonwealth nations, Scottish politicians have expressed concern that the international event could lead to an influx of victims of human trafficking. As the main provider of support for trafficked persons in the UK, The Salvation Army will supply volunteers to oversee 'UN GIFT Boxes' – walk-in pieces of public art that show the devastating reality of human trafficking – which are positioned around Glasgow for the duration of the Games.
The 20th Commonwealth Games run until 3 August.

Old Series : Bargain bundles
The one-inch Old Series were the first maps produced by the Ordnance Survey, and were often revised, usually with new railway information, whilst leaving the original detail unchanged. Maps were initially issued as full sheets, and then as the series progressed, as quarter sheets.

A collection of 36 'maps' for South and North Wales. All maps have been dissected and mounted on a strong linen cloth, folded with a label on the front surface. Quarter sheets have had the margins trimmed, leaving the full piano key border. Full sheets have been cut into quarters before mounting, thus leaving two sides with piano key borders.
Lacking margins, it is difficult to give exact dates for these maps, but it is assumed they date from the 1870s.
Unless noted otherwise, all are in good clean condition, black and white with most railways marked in red.
