Immortals were born of need. The Originals, overtaxed with the sovereign positions they had put themselves in, designed a creation to divvy up the tasks. From that idea came the Immortals. Each Immortal was originally designed to be a copy of the Original that made it, but limited in scope of purview. However, in the process of creation each Immortal determined its own individual look, each having a measure of the Original's hubris, which is the look the Immortals have today. They became less the proxies their creators tasked them to be and more children, the creation having far more scope and self determination than the Originals had ever thought or intended. Each Immortal was tasked with a specific set of purview to oversee while the Originals looked to other projects of creation and control. Each Immortal had its own set of relationships, opinions, and ideas…enough so that it became hard to tell which Immortal each had sprung from. The Originals have never revealed if this was expected, designed, or unintentional...but with the wild nature of most Emean-based power, the truth may be a little of everything.

The Shattering ended the Originals unexpectedly. In the vast depths of their power they could have never thought theirs would have limitations. Whether by stretching themselves too thin or by any of the many other theories surrounding the event, the Originals were destroyed one by one, leaving the Immortals to care for Idalos in their absence. It was quickly discovered that the Immortals were not the equals of the Originals in power. Thetros, Moseke, Audrae, Chrien and other Immortals who decided to create their own variation of the mortals soon found that their limits were easily defined. No Immortal could create another Immortal, and the act of creating an entirely new race brought Fracturing, the lattice of glowing white scars racing along the Immortal's form. Although they could hide it from each other and mortals with effort, it was a reminder of their own limitations and how close they had come to sharing the fate of their predecessors.
The Immortals persist in the present day and age, plotting against each other and ruling the purview they were granted from the beginning. Some see this as responsibility, others as a blessing, still others a curse. Each Immortal has cultivated an identity built on centuries of time and interaction with each other. While they take the form of mortals, their minds and souls are beyond a mortal's complete understanding. Each Immortal is still coming to understand themselves and their roles in Idalos. Most cannot maintain the distant god-like structure of their parents and struggle with how divided they should be from the society that defines and feeds them.
An Immortal is always much faster, stronger, and hardier than any of the mortal races. Each one is remarkably taller than any other member of the race they seem to mimic and some Immortals can take massive shapes, like Chrien. However, an Immortal has the choice to appear however they wish within the scope of their Domain and physicality, growing, shrinking, or altering themselves as necessary. Even without their strange powers, Immortals are a perfected form created by the Originals. Their nature is to exceed and surpass ordinary limits. Even the most peaceful of Immortals has combat experience and abilities well surpassing the limits and skills of mortal practitioners. Those that excel in combat are more terrifying still, their abilities like none ever seen before.
The truth of Immortals is that they are myriad in one. Like the Originals, all the Immortal is cannot be contained in a single mortal body. These bodies are avatars of their Emean selves, conduits to Idalos that allow them to make use of their unique abilities. Most mortals mistakenly consider the Immortal's physical appearance to be the measure of what they truly are when in truth they are vast, concept given choice and dominion over the laws of reality itself. The majority of an Immortal exists in Idalos, within their specific Domain, but they interact with Idalos through their physical representation. The true form of an Immortal is mutable, ever-changing, never defined and vast.
An Immortal, with its perfect physiology, is immune to disease, infection, and illness of any kind. Poisons, too, are usually quickly expelled from the Immortal body before they have a chance to do much damage. That said, Lisirra is still developing a possible toxin that will bypass the Immortal physiology. If she does, she will certainly outfit her Champion and test it out.
Additionally, an Immortal is always able to sense when an individual is marked by another Immortal. While they cannot necessarily innately sense Mortalborn that are not their own children, if a Mortlborn uses their power while marked or in the presence of the Immortal they will be aware. An Immortal is capable of removing a Favored Blessing and Hated curse from an individual if the blessing and curse are not of their domain, but an Immortal trying to remove an Adored or higher mark or a Despised and higher curse will have great difficulty, most unwilling to invite open warfare with each other by meddling in such ways.
Tragically, an Immortal does not have the same choice as a mortal might. Raskalarn can never free herself of being a conqueror (nor would she even consider it), and Kata can never be restored to sanity. The Immortals are tied irrevocably to their domains, forced to be the people the Originals made them as. While many Immortals recognize this contradiction to their power, the lack of freedom to change, they have no way to move past it. Supposedly there is a way to grant an Immortal the ability to change that was once known by Luesco but such knowledge is lost.
An Immortal does not age. Much like the Originals, their longevity may be measured in millennia, if at all. 'Immortals' were the name given to them by those who first encountered them, not as gods, but as beings that could withstand time. Although the Immortals settled into their more deific duties later on in history, the name Immortal followed them to the modern age.
Immortals are not capable of killing each other. If they were, not as many would have survived to the current year. Frustratingly, Immortals are actually built to support each other. When even one additional Immortal is present, the regenerative powers of each Immortal are magnified immensely. It is literally impossible for an Immortal to slay another when in each other's presence, without some intervening means. This does not, however, stop them from being able to inflict grievous harm, capture, paralyze, or otherwise incapacitate their brethren if needed.
It is whispered that one of the only ways to kill an Immortal is to have a mortal do it. This is not because a mortal is stronger, faster, or more deadly than Immortal…far from it. But a mortal has something within them that the Immortals do not. This will, this intent, is fatal to an Immortal. The Originals did not need outside help in order to be powerful, but Immortals were designed differently. Immortals rely on worship, the ability to collect power from actions, hopes, fears, and prayers as devotion. The more they have, the more powerful they become. While this is not enough to repair any damage done by Fracturing, it does allow an Immortal to operate at greater capacity than they were created to have. While Immortals cannot kill each other, they can overpower, capture, and torture each other. Devotion gives an Immortal strength. It is one of the secrets behind the swell of their power and why so many have made themselves popular figures in mythos and mortal civilization. While an Immortal does not need Devotion to subsist, it does give their own powers a significant boost and allows them to mark more souls as their own, and under their purview.
That same reliance is a weakness. Intent, so necessary for an Immortal to draw additional power, can be turned against them and twisted into a weapon. The desire to kill an Immortal, the DEVOTION to kill an Immortal is the deadly edge a mortal can put upon their own weapons. While an Immortal is still difficult to kill with their powers and perfect physiology, a mortal who pierces an Immortal's heart or beheads them will kill that Immortal's physical body. The Devotion to Kill makes mortals dangerous and powerful, but not so much so that it outweighs the power they can add to an Immortal's strength. Immortals must walk the line between seeming enough of a god to discourage attacks and accessible enough to engender worship. Most Immortals struggle with that identity throughout their long lives.
Immortals are favored of Emea and all have the natural ability to pass instantly to that realm from wherever they are. Once there they can use a series of shortcuts they've memorized in their long lives to appear almost anywhere else on Idalos. In addition, each Immortal has a realm in Emea that they completely control. It is a place for the souls of their adored, exalted, and champions to find respite and for them to heal or work on individual projects. In many ways, this realm is the Immortals' true body, an Emean mass of sentience and primordial creation. An Immortal can open this realm to others but only by permission. It is well known that Jesnine and Kielik, as chosen of Emea, can find any realm of any Immortal they want…although they are careful not to intrude uninvited.
Immortals have complete control over their own purview. Any power or ability that can be imagined in their purview is an ability the Immortal can likely use. While their power is not infinite, they do surpass the limits of any mage by leaps and bounds. If they push their limits too hard, they will begin to Fracture.
Immortals have the power to grant life. While they are not the only ones who are able to do so, they are one of the few beings that can tie a being to Emea, thus granting it a soul. This process is a height of their abilities and significantly taxing. Most Immortals who have created their own race show the price they had to pay to do so. Fracturing, the incandescent scars across an Immortal's body so reminiscent of their parents. Many Immortals before them fell to Shattering and the ones left carefully avoid crossing that limit.
Immortals have the power to be aware of anyone who mentions them or devotes an action to them. Any prayer, any act, any temple dedicated will come to the attention of the Immortal immediately. While an Immortal cannot usually be in two places at once, they can easily observe their marked and those who willingly DEVOTE a prayer or action in their names. Immortals are by no means omniscient, but those who speak of them find that their attention can be summoned. In addition, any mortal marked by an Immortal can always be found by that Immortal. Marking Mortals is a way to share some of their domain powers with trusted followers who can spread their dogma or see to their wishes in the mortal world. While Immortals cannot kill each other, many act through the proxy of their worshipers and marked to further their schemes or ideas.
To be marked is to be claimed by an Immortal and that Immortal will always be able to hear, see, and sense the individual wherever they go. Some would avoid confrontation with an Immortal for this very reason.
An Immortal can create artifacts or grant simple objects vestiges of their power. This can be taxing, depending on the extent of power the Immortal imbues, and can certainly can be misused in the wrong hands. Idalos history is filled with legends of items granted by Immortals to appreciated or valued followers, items that outlive their wielder.
An Immortal can sense panic, desperation, and fear like a spider senses vibration on a web. Due to the nature of Immortals, they are specially tuned to the desperation of mortals. If they can intervene and help them, they may earn their devotion and thus more power. Any mortal who is ever desperate, lonely, or possessed of strong emotion can theoretically be found by an Immortal through their connection to Emea. This is not omniscience, but more a network of awareness. A mortal in a situation most related to an Immortal's domain or that has met an Immortal before will resonate more clearly to that Immortal. Most mortals can easily hide from an Immortal if the Immortal has never met them, and even those who have can find artifacts to obscure their presence and limit their time in Emea.
An Immortal will always be aware of their progeny, no matter what form they take. Their Mortalborn can only hide from them with special artifacts crafted specifically to obscure an Immortal's sight. When in the presence of their progeny, an Immortal can forcibly access their domains as if they were the Immortal's own, making their progeny useful no matter how defiant. Depending on how strong the progeny is, they may resist this intrusion and the Immortal always has the option to brute force the connection. Some powers of the domains may require a Mortalborn's choice to operate. Their own created abilities are always uniquely their own, but all other areas of that domain can be accessed...willingly or unwillingly by the parent.
An Immortal can create a Mortalborn by taking a mortal partner. This is not always a choice, but if an Immortal chooses, it always happens. Accidental Mortalborns are often the product of an unconscious choice on behalf of the Immortal, the need to cement a bond or link to someone the Immortal is emotional invested in. The complexity of Immortals is knowing they will watch those they love grow old and die. They live side by side with the mortals that worship them, love them, hate them, and fulfill them but they are always outside of that flow. A Mortalborn is a desire, mostly to understand and sometimes for power. Immortals cannot apologize for what they are, products of their parents...although unlike the Originals, an Immortal's relationship must include a mortal for the union and child to be born. Immortals are rarely uniform in how they treat these progeny, and historically many Mortalborn have had significant roles in shaping history. A Mortalborn is just another mystery to the Immortal, who lost their parents before they could explain all the details of this new existence.
Immortals can perish, but their purviews remain. Even those marked by an Immortal will keep the mark upon their soul, even if there is no Immortal to advance it. It is evidence enough that an Immortal's power remains even after death. As an Immortal's true body is not in Idalos at all, but in the swirling chaos of Emea. Although it has yet to happen, there is a way for a marked of exalted or higher to ascend to the position of the previous Immortal, giving themselves completely over to the power and 'becoming' the new Immortal. If this would ever be a PC, that PC would immediately become an NPC. The identity of the Immortal would meld with that of the chosen. If Famula was killed, an exalted of hers or champion could take her place, and become a new Famula. It would be Famula, no longer the mortal follower but a composite identity. The follower is absorbed into the Immortal. The Immortal will keep their new face and body, but become a composite of both the identity of the Immortal and the former Follower. If the Emean self of the Immortal is damaged or harmed, however, this is not possible. Although the physical conduit of their being can die, a new identity can be chosen by those who are servants of that purview.
Note on playing Immortals: Immortals are more akin to gods than mortals. They are distant, sometimes alien, and struggle for their sense of identity amidst the short-lived mortals they stand over. Their motivations are not always clear and their emotions do not always escalate or deescalate in a way that a mortal might expect. When playing the Immortals remember that they are apart and above the mortals, not at all mortals themselves. Much as they try, an Immortal can never understand and can only act as though they belonged among the normal populace.

Mortalborn are exactly as they seem. They are special beings born from a mortal with an Immortal parent. They have both the gifts and abilities of an Immortal being paired with the flaws and weaknesses of a human. Mortalborn are perceived in many different ways; some are frightened by them, others are intrigued while some individuals, namely the Immortals, find them to be abominations of the world. They are conceived and carried for a total of nine months or four and a half seasons, just as any other human would be, whether mortal or Immortal.
Mortalborn are the union of both the surreal and the physical, a combination that should not have been possible. The Originals were not capable of creating Mortalborn but somehow their copies are. Some Immortals believe that mixing in elements of the mortals the Originals came to rule may be part of their own creation, a stabilizing element to help ensure an Immortal is well aware when they are reaching the limits of their own powers. The Originals never expected to Fracture, perhaps it was a quality of Idalos that was not present in Emea where the Originals came from. The truth, unfortunately, would lie with the Immortals.

Mortalborn come into the world with the potential for power. A set of domains, like their parent, but all the frailties that are inherent in a mortal body. In fact, their own Immortal domain abilities can damage their body if relied upon. Some Mortalborn see this damage in accelerated aging, others in internal or external damage, still others see it in the degradation of their own minds. The fact of the matter is that Mortalborn power is too much for their mortal forms to contain. Often, Immortals can intervene to stopgap the damage that a Mortalborn receives or even restore them, but a Mortalborn is a dangerous presence on Idalos. They have the terrifying 'Intent' that can kill Immortals along with Immortal Purviews. Some Immortals might consider the Mortalborn perfect weapons, and certainly some have counted on that fact against their own enemies.
A Player has freedom to suggest what form long term use of their ability will have on the character. Accelerated aging, a breakdown of the body, mental maladies, or other stranger and esoteric possibilities are all considered.
There are three kinds of Mortalborn on Idalos. The Bestowed, the Heirs, and the Fallen. All Mortalborn begin as Bestowed, mostly mortal with the exceptional abilities of their parent. A Mortalborn typically ages to their prime at the same speed as a typical member of their race, but once they reach their peak the aging slows considerably. For a Mortalborn that rarely or never makes use of their power, they can live many times longer than a member of their own race might. The choice is up to the Mortalborn. Most discover their powers at a crisis of personal safety. When in emotional, physical, or spiritual duress their nature will flare to life in the form of their first abilities. Once the first has been unlocked, the others come quickly. Unlike others that must struggle to understand their powers, a Mortalborn innately understands the extent of their abilities when they have it. If part of that power is random, they understand that the power cannot be fully predicted. Once unlocked, a Mortalborn is a natural at their ability but have the mortal ingenuity to use it in unique ways.
A Mortalborn will always be favored of their domains. Spirits show them deference if encountered and phenomena surrounding those domains tend to find their way around the Mortalborn or into their path. Usually these are good relationships and although never fomented as an ability, a Mortalborn is always very fortune or favored when in the presence of their domains. A Mortalborn of Wine might find that it never spoils in their presence and is always at its best. A Mortalborn of Owls might find the birds treat him kindly and trust his presence enough to allow him approach without scaring them away. In the wild they might even hunt for them occassionally. These abilities are not the Mortalborn abilities for each domain but rather a narrative element that enhances the MB's experiences and of those around them, when in the presence of their Domain.
A Bestowed is capable of creating new abilities and deciding how best they can be used. To Flay a Mortalborn is far more immense than any mage has ever experienced, allowing their magic to reach new and remarkable heights.
When a Bestowed Mortalborn and an ordinary mortal have a child, the result is never a new Mortalborn. Instead, their domains create a certain genetic 'imprint' on the soul of the child and all their descendants that sometimes manifests abilities in reference to the Mortalborn's domains. Some bloodlines created by Mortalborn proudly claim such benefits today, as an heir will sometimes show a unique magical ability (usually not as powerful as a Mortalborn ability) that marks them as the son or daughter of a Mortalborn far up in the family line. Some nobility have been known to horde these traits, elevating those who show them within their family. These children, touched by the divine, are called Envoys. Special prophet permission is required to be an Envoy and must be applied for in the Prophet Support desk (Although this kind of character is not subject to the same restrictions for a Mortalborn). Abilities the Envoy possess are often remarkable, but not wondrous. Save for their special ability, they are otherwise the race they were born.
When a Bestowed Mortalborn begins devouring Devotion, getting mortals to dedicate actions, thoughts, and prayers to them as though they were an Immortal that Mortalborn will begin to get a taste for the power the Immortals wield. The immediate effects are that the Mortalborn will always be aware when someone dedicates an action to them, like a vague echo. That echo comes with power with a Mortalborn can use to fuel their abilities and thus mitigate some of the worst effects of the strain. A Mortalborn's powers will grow when surrounded by their followers, although a considerable number are needed for a Mortalborn's power to be worrying.
The Heirs are Mortalborn who accept their Immortal part over their mortal heritage. Unlike any other Mortalborn, they turn to the fount of power that the Immortals crave...Devotion. A Mortalborn that begins devouring devotion is on the path to becoming something more. While the exact process by which a Bestowed becomes an Heir is not known, it is thought to begin with the collection of Devotion and worshippers. Those that reach this level become powerful enough to craft their own mark. While not as varied as a true Immortal's mark, few would suggest that they are any less powerful. A Mortalborn becomes more like an Immortal, collecting Devotion, granting marks, traveling through Emea and governing their own personal Domains.
Their 'selves' grow into Emea, much like an Immortal and their physical body becomes only a representation of their power and influence on Idalos, while the majority of their animated power remains in a domain of Emea.
They still have a mortal lifespan, unfortunately, which can be counteracted with magic or gifts from other Immortals, but they also hold the natural resilience of a mortal as well. An Heir is unique in that they can offer their devotion to another Immortal. Some collect this devotion and gladly hand it to their parent, their sponsor and others horde it for themselves, hoping to make the final jump into becoming a True Immortal.
An Heir has limited ability to pass themselves along through their mark when they pass. Although not capable of simply becoming one of their Worshipers, their power and soul might be inherited by the highest marked of their followers, given form when that follower has their own progeny. So Heir Mortalborn can be reborn, so long as an Immortal has not marked them twice or more. In those cases, the Immortal will decide whether the Mortalborn reincarnates or joins the Immortal in their own realm.
Perhaps most alarming, the Intent becomes as deadly to them as it is to other Immortals. The Intent to kill an Heir is as deadly to them as it is to their parent.
One of the more remarkable differences between an Heir Mortalborn and their Immortal parent is their immense resilience. An Heir accepts both heritages and immediately gains the power to utilize any sort of ability within their own purview. Although notably weaker in prowess and raw ability than their parent, an Heir has natural resistance to Fracturing. The process is slower, and far less debilitating...making Heirs cocky about utilizing their powers.
Save power, one of the most notable differences between an Heir and an Immortal is that an Heir cannot grant a soul. While capable of making life, they are not capable of creating a new being with the power to feed them with devotion.
An Heir Mortalborn is not a playable character at this time. If you wish your character ascend to such a position, a mark will be created and a general agenda for their activities. The player will be consulted for direction and may even be allowed to develop the mark themselves (with some oversight). Those that become an Heir shape Idalos globally and become a story element for other players and staff. Currently there is no option to continue playing a character once they become an Heir, if this changes it will be announced.
To be detailed in a larger write up. Basically, a Fallen is a Mortalborn who has found a way to Reveal. With the spark of the Original melding with their unique physiology, these rare and terrifying creatures become monsters of an entirely different nature. Historically there have been eight known Fallen Lords in the history of Idalos, although few are active these days and several have been struck down. No Immortal truly wants a Fallen Lord, an aberration of deific consequence and often oppose them where they come to be.
A Fallen cannot be a PC. If your PC becomes a Fallen they will become an NPC for the story (With your input)
Mortalborn Abilities
A Mortalborn can begin with three abilities, one for each domain. Many Mortalborn never step past this limit, content with what sets them apart from others. Other Mortalborn, however, begin to seek ways to increase their power. Any Mortalborn can tap into their domain to develop new abilities, but at a cost. So long as a Mortalborn is Bestowed, learning new abilities will impart to them the same horror that comes to their parents when over-extended. A Mortalborn will begin to Fracture, gaining small networks of incandescent scars across their body. These scars cannot be hidden with any magic or ability, only what one puts around them. Those with a special ability to sense ether in the world will find a Fracturing Mortalborn nearly impossible to overlook. There is no cure for Fracturing, even the Immortals are mystified in how to stop it.
Each new ability brings an additional network of Fracture scars, although no Mortalborn is fully aware of how often they can push this limit. There is no set number of new abilities a Mortalborn can develop, but each new ability must be submitted to the Prophet Support Forum for approval and earned via a relevant story thread. This thread does not need to be modded, but it must be significant to the character. New abilities for a Mortalborn are rare and although there is no set limit, Prophets are not inclined to approve several new abilities for use at once, but rather spread through a long story and adventure.
An Heir keeps any Fracturing they've had, but once they truly become an Heir they no longer need to develop new abilities as their domains work similarly to an Immortal, albeit at less power.
A Mortalborn is always aware of when their parent is near. While not originally intended, a Mortalborn is also capable of instantly recognizing when someone is marked by their parent deity. That recognition, when first encountered, seems interpreted as a deep and stubborn familiarity but eventually a Mortalborn will learn its truth.
Additionally Mortalborn are capable of sensing each other, but only if they learn they are able. In order to gain the ability to sense or 'recognize' other Mortalborn, a Mortalborn character must be in a thread with another Mortalborn who makes active use of their powers and observes them. There is a kinship and understanding between these strange beings which allows them to know each other so long as they have met and understood each other before. This is an ability that can be gained in the form of a Knowledge (Although it should be noted in your Mortalborn abilities for any curious players or staff)

I write while stinking of insect repellent and sweat, sitting under the fan in my bedroom, and trying to gather my scattered thoughts while the (not so) harmonious sound of evening traffic, people, birds and cows plays on the in the background. I'm currently in India on a short research trip visiting the ladybird research group at Lucknow University and it's been quite the week. To be honest I'm not even sure where to start. People always say the best thing to do in such cases is to start at the beginning, but the colorful boisterous blur of life since getting here doesn't lend itself well to chronological order. So I'll start with the best bits first.
India is hot and spicy, with delicious food and insects that in turn find me delicious. Right now I am covered in so many bites I look like I have the plague, this is all despite copious application of repellent and the use of a mosquito net at night. They must be ninja mozzies. This teamed with my normal skin, which everyone thinks is a rash ("but it looks so red and sore??") and my highly regular trips to the toilet (my system apparently does not like the food as much as my taste buds do) has led the entire office to adopt an attitude that I am an ailing sick lady that needs looking after. It's actually really nice, I'm plied with food that they think will sooth my stomach (unlikely) and am continuously being offered tea. So much delicious tea.
I'm incredibly lucky that the lab here have fully taken me under their wing, as my Hindi is rudimentary and pretty much unintelligible and I can't even manage to cross the road on my own. Yes I am being serious about the latter. Crossing the road here, in the centre of the city, involves walking across six 'lanes' of traffic. I use the term lanes loosely, as it merely describes how many buses you can fit width ways across each side of the road. Mostly hoards of bikes, motorbikes, tuktuks (they call them autos here), cabs, cars, vans, and cows all weave in and out of each other in what appears to be a race to get to some unknown but obviously highly urgent appointment. In to this mele Indians blithely step out, waving a hand at the oncoming traffic as if it were merely an irksome puppy and proceed to cross. Having been brought up on a diet of 'stop, look, listen' I find this new attitude seriously hard to adopt, especially at rush hour, and mostly stand very hesitantly at the edge of the road until I can sprint across at breakneck speed during a break in the traffic.
Overwhelmingly I prefer to be part of the traffic, specifically on a motorbike. Yesterday I had possibly my best experience of the trip so far where not only did I go on a motorbike, but I rode pillion for an hour across the centre of the city (FYI 2nd biggest city in Northern India) at lunchtime rush hour. I have a sneaky feeling that I should have found this terrifying opposed to completely electrifying. I now understand why people are addicted to biking. Despite the fact that I was wearing an ancient dusty old helmet and a thick layer of sweat, sun cream and dirt, I had the unshakeable feeling that I was in fact a movie star and that at any moment Channing Tatum would turn up in the lane next to me. On the return ride I accidentally let one of my internal whoops of exhilaration externalise, at which point my lab mate, who kindly agreed to drive me, put his foot down and executed a couple of swift maneuvers around a cow and between two fast moving trucks. So. Unbelievably. Rad.
The mornings here are exceptionally beautiful, and fortunately can be experienced in all their glory from the roof of my hostel, think National Geographic centrefold. It's also the best time of the day to 'notice' birds. They are absolutely stunning, and for the centre of a city it's surprising how many there are. I've seen everything from sunbirds to black kites (approx. 20 spp so far and counting), though my absolute favourite are the red whiskered bulbuls, which all have feathery mohawks and a punky attitude to match. There were a pair feeding a fledgling on my way to yoga class the other evening and I ended up spending so much time watching them that I was half an hour late.
The roof is also a great place for hanging out, reading, and generally watching the city go by. I had my first free day since I got here today, and spent the late afternoon walking around the roof sunbathing and watching the kites. This time I'm referring to actual kites not birds. Kite flying season is in full swing here as the weather hots up – in India heat not cold driving wind is used to fly kites – and takes a similar format to that outlined in 'The Kite Runner'. The kites are all pretty similar in shape and size, the idea instead of simply flying them being to cut the strings of all the other kites in the vicinity. Consequently the city's airspace is currently crammed with bobbing, battling and cut adrift kites. I bought my own last weekend in the old city and flew it over Holi from a friend's roof, you can get them so unbelievably high! Luckily I didn't have to battle anyone though, as my skills are definitely no match for the ruthless tactics of the local kids.
Other than science I truly have no idea what else India has in store for me. It seems that the only plan you can truly make here is for plans to change, so I've had to learn very quickly to just go with the flow. Fighting the unpredictability is like walking uphill through treacle and embracing it is like joining a dance.

"Avengers Arena" #14 picks up more or less where #12 left off (after the issue #13 circled around to show how the rest of the world is reacting to the disappearances of the players in Arcade's deadly game), with the one truly dangerous villain off the playing field. And in doing so, Dennis Hopeless and Kev Walker have to tackle a new problem: how to get the remaining characters to start attacking one another.
With Katy out of the picture for now, there's no central figure for the remaining kids to rally against, no main villain for everyone to fight and get killed by. What readers end up with, though, is a series of arbitrary events that both split off the large cluster of characters into smaller groups once more, and then bring back some old and familiar methods to have them start going at one another.
At this point, X-23's presence in "Avengers Arena" seems to be little more than a killing machine that Hopeless can point at other characters and let loose, stripping all self-control from the character whenever it's convenient. The first time he pulled this trick out of his sleeve it was a little surprising and nasty. To use the same trick again feels old hat and tired. Considering that the majority of the characters in "Avengers Arena" are Hopeless' own creations, surely it would have been easier to simply devise some of them in a way to create more conflict and attacks if that's what "Avengers Arena" is all about. X-23's forced attacks would work better if the overall tone of "Avengers Arena" was that of a tragedy, but that never really comes across as such to the reader. It's much more of a popcorn flick with the occasional moment of personal sadness, and X-23's reactions in general are hard to grab onto by the readers to gain sympathy.
Where "Avengers Arena" #14 does work, is in the side story about Bloodstone's hidden past. It's engaging in a nasty sort of way, as readers finally start to see what makes him tick and why this seemingly powerless teenager was attending Braddock Academy. His relationship with Anachronism is delved into a bit, even as Nara starts to disrupt things, and the big reveal at the end of the comic works in no small part because of the visual contrast between his other form and the one we've seen up until now. Walker draws it pretty perfectly, with talons the size of a person and strange proportions that couldn't exist through natural evolution. It's a deliberately-crafted appearance to feel wrong and dangerous, and it plays well to Walker's strengths. Add in the rough-hewn panel borders whenever things go crazy, and the truly sad look in Bloodstone's eyes when the car is pulling through the gates of Braddock Academy, and it's a reminder that Walker's an excellent artist whose work should put him in great demand.
"Avengers Arena" #14 in many ways sums up the series in general: there are little bits that fire off perfectly, but then larger issues that are harder to ignore pull the overall feel down a bit. Of course, if you're wondering why there's no mention of the surprise final page from "Avengers Arena" #12, that's because it isn't. Hopefully, there won't be long to wait until the final issue to see that resolved. In the meantime, "Avengers Arena" trudges on, full of good intentions, but never quite where it promises to be in terms of quality.

Here, we had the opportunity to witness the merry celebration of Jefrey and Joni.

What Are the Ten Fastest Hyundai Vehicles?
Most consumers looking for a fast ride probably don't have the Hyundai brand on their radar. That's unfortunate, considering the brand is much more than docile mid-size sedans and hulking luxury rides. The Wall Street Cheat Sheet delved into the specs on all Hyundai models and produced an impressive list of the ten fastest Hyundai vehicles.
Countdown of the Ten Fastest Hyundai Vehicles
10. Veloster Turbo: Because the Veloster-Raptor isn't an official production model yet, we have to settle for the next best thing. This amped-up performance model of the wacky hatchback has a 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds on a humble 1.6-liter, four cylinder engine.
9. Sonata SE 2.0T: The Sonata's popular enough to have multiple trims, including this one that can hit 0-60 in 6.5 seconds on a 2.0-liter, four cylinder engine. Boasting 274 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, it even outdoes the Sport trim.
8. Azera: While some consider this less-popular entry the bridge between Hyundai's luxury and performance units, it hasn't been too successful. Still, its 0-60 time at six seconds isn't disappointing, thanks to a 3.3-liter V6.
7. Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec: You're going to see a lot of the Genesis on this list of fastest Hyundai vehicles. Would you believe that this unassuming two-door trim's acceleration of o-60 mph in 5.7 seconds is mediocre for the Genesis? That's probably because of its turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
6. Equus Ultimate: Luxury can be speedy too, like this leveled-up variant of the snazzy Equus. The 5.0-liter V8 is a horsepower-hungry beast, but its weight and aerodymanics limit the resulting clock-in time to 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.
5. Equus Signature: Not much difference between the Signature and Ultimate versions here in terms of speed. Still, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds is not bad.
4. Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec: From here on out you'll see a lot of Genesis–unsurprisingly. This variant's 3.8-liter V6 engine generates 348 horsepower and a run from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.
3. Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track Edition: This slightly-different option milks everything it can out of a V6 engine and hits 0-60 in 5.2 seconds–just slightly less than the R-Spec.
2. Genesis 5.0 V8: You won't see a difference in clock-in time between this and the 5.0 R-Spec, both hitting 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, but this one has slightly lower horsepower (407). Still, the V8 is a step in the right direction.
1. Genesis Sedan 5.0 R-Spec: Finally, this champion continues to push the envelope under the hood, improving from an old 4.6-liter engine. Now, it gets 429 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. How else can it continue to improve? Time will tell…

Coming on the Season of Er...
Well, fall show season is getting ready to gear up...the season of "Er" is almost upon us; you know, SeptembEr, OctobEr, etc. I love this fall/early winter season for a variety of reasons. The cooling tempuratures & drying out of things, coming out of period of time when day to day existence is spent feeling like a bag of wet laundry. But I also get excited about the upcoming event season...some very good music fests & wine festivals, yippee!
The first of the season, two weeks from now, is Silver City, NM's "Pickamania" music festival, a fantastic assortment of music, mostly in the "americana" genre, but not limited to straight bluegrass. I've discovered some awesome groups over the years of participating in this event, as an artisan/vendor. One of my most favoritest is Birds of Chicago ....I adore them, I'm in love with their vibe, their voices, their duets. Sometimes, Allison Russell's voice makes me tear up....there, I said it.
Judge for yourself....
Come on up to Silver City, if you can, & see this band live. Plus all the others in the great lineup.....and come say 'hey' to me! :)

|HAED's Foregone by Marta Dahlig, page 1 completed
We decided to get new recliners for our anniversary gift, so we went furniture shopping Saturday. Mine will be my new stitching chair, and I was careful to be sure the measurements worked with my Mark 2 floor frame. I really like the light where my current recliner is situated, so my new one will go in the same space. John's is a larger power recliner and needs to be plugged in, so we're moving the rest of the living room furniture around to make that work. The new recliners will be delivered on Wednesday, and once everything's settled, I'll be starting Examplar Dames' And They Sinned.

Therapeutic Vaccines
Synthetic Vaccine Particles (SVP™) Immune Stimulation products contain encapsulated and/or surface antigens, as well as toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist adjuvants to activate the immune response.
Selecta Biosciences, Inc. has research programs for a therapeutic vaccine to treat advanced human papilloma virus-associated cancers. Our therapeutic vaccines for cancer have been specifically developed to optimize the activation of cytolytic T cells, or "killer T cells," by effectively presenting the antigen to the relevant immune cells. Based on our observations, we believe our therapeutic vaccines can reduce tumor size and increase survival rate and may have synergistic effects with certain checkpoint inhibitors.
We are advancing a therapeutic vaccine for smoking cessation that induces antibodies to nicotine. We believe such antibodies have the potential to bind to the inhaled nicotine and prevent the inhaled nicotine from reaching the brain, thereby reducing levels of nicotine in the brain and supporting smoking cessation and relapse prevention.

Norwegian reports a 25 percent passenger growth in March
In March, 1,805,551 passengers flew with Norwegian. This is an increase of 25 percent compared to the same month last year.
The total passenger traffic (RPK) increased by 52 percent, while the capacity (ASK) increased by 51 percent this month. This represents an increase of 1.2 billion seat kilometres, the largest ever capacity increase in a single month. The load factor was 77.8 percent in March, up 0.2 percentage points.
Despite the increase in load factor, this year's late Easter holiday impacted the load factor negatively in March.
"The capacity growth is record high this month, due to the establishment of new bases outside Scandinavia combined with the launch of several new routes and frequencies throughout our route network. Even with strong capacity growth and this year's late Easter holiday, the load factor is higher than the same month last year. This proves that Norwegian delivers its promise of great quality at low fares," said Norwegian's CEO Bjørn Kjos.
In March, Norwegian took delivery of one brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft and one 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Norwegian will take delivery of 14 Boeing 737-800 aircraft and four 787 Dreamliners during 2014. Norwegian boasts one of the most modern and environmentally friendly fleets in Europe.
Norwegian operated 99.7 percent of its scheduled flights in March, whereof 87.1 percent departed on time.

Dr. Dixon performed previous surgery on me a few years ago. Had to go back and have it done again. Foot still hurts. I was treated by the billing person in an amazingly abusive manner. She made a verbal agreement with me regarding payment of my balance. I kept my end of the agreement to the letter and made payments as promised. The following month she took almost $800 out of my checking account without my permission. Although I sent a letter to the doctor, he did not even have the courtesy to answer me. Charges were exhorbitant. Horrible place!

I agree with the 1st review, office staff not educated with insurance. Also insurance was overcharged, $1200 for a 30 minute visit. Insurance did not pay much so I got the remainder. Toe still kills me. Advised to stay clear.

Tools to optimize cash disbursements and lower purchasing costs
Effective management of payables has a direct impact on profitability. With proper controls in place, such as scheduled payments, you can take advantage of supplier discounts and significantly lower your purchasing costs. Codea – RPS Accounts Payable helps you establish the necessary controls within a well-structures accounting framework.
Versatile Design
Accounts Payable can be used in both centralized or decentralized operations. The system handles chargeable material supply items, vouchering, and the direct allocation of supplier charges to work orders. An invoice approval process allows you to approve invoices either by batch or on an individual basis. Disbursements can be made via electronic funds transfer or check.
Payment Scheduling
To optimize the effects of cash disbursements on profitability, the system provides a payment-scheduling capability to ensure that you take full advantage of all supplier discounts. Visibility of invoice disbursements is achieved through integration with the requisition and purchase order approval capabilities.
Integrated Costing and Procurement
Accounts Payable invoice entries are matched with purchase order receiving to facilitate the update of purchasing, inventory, and work-in process records. Vouchering of purchase order receipts supports the calculation of purchase price variances and allows pay-on-receipt processing for Just-In-Time (JIT) vendors. Vouchering to Codea-RPS Material Supply records allows for matching to Accounts Receivable "contra" records. Optional 4-way matching integrates with the material inspection process.
Complete and Accurate Ledgers
Online invoice processing facilitates the full distribution of costs for material and services to multiple general ledger accounts. The system is fully integrated to support direct charge posting to work-in-progress accounts through either Codea- RPS Project Management or Work Orders. Automatic amount balancing during invoice entry ensures complete and accurate ledger updating.
Payment Generation and Bank Reconciliation
A systematic process is provided for the check creation, printing and reconciliation cycle. An onscreen function helps you select and consolidate the invoices you wish to pay, then set up and print the checks. Alternatively, payments can be processed using electronic funds transfer. A check reconciliation capability ensures that bank cash accounts are correct.
Cash Flow Management
Audit reports and comprehensive supplier and invoice inquiry capabilities provide the tools for achieving visibility and financial control. The system also calculates cash requirements based on supplier or invoice terms for your periodic review.
Global Supplier Management
Within Accounts Payable, you can manage information on local and international suppliers, with multiple locations, controlling payment terms, discounting, account posting and receipt vouchering. Provisions for handling foreign currencies and value-added taxation are also provided. Supplier histories allow for price, quality of material and delivery performance measurement.

text: 新闻和活动 活动 新闻 简讯 视频库 Print this page August 2014 - Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship & Growth Dear Valued Investors, We start this newsletter with a very positive piece of news regarding the competitiveness of Mauritius. In the Global Competitiveness Index 2014–2015 Rankings released today 3rd September by the World Economic Forum, Mauritius comes out first in Africa for the second year, ahead of the Republic of South Africa (56th), Rwanda (62nd), Botswana (74th) and Zambia (96th). In fact, Mauritius is among the forty most competitive countries in the world. The country has gained six places compared to its previous position. It now occupies the 39th place worldwide. The GCI Index 2014–2015, which ranks 144 economies, measures overall national competitiveness in relation to data collected around twelve pillars, namely institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labour market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication, and innovation. Institutional strength, structural reforms, policies, innovation and talent development are among the factors that help countries address competitiveness challenges and determine their level of performance and prosperity. According to this Global Competitiveness Report, the world's most competitive economies are characterized by their "track record in developing, accessing and utilising available talent, as well as in making investments that boost innovation". The report highlights that a healthy partnership between the public and private sectors contributes to make targeted investments that impact sustainable and inclusive development. In this context of competitiveness and development, it is an established fact that entrepreneurs are agents of change through the successful materialization of innovative projects, the development of new products and services, the implementation of more efficient production methods, and the creation of new business models. Therefore, fulfilling its role as facilitator, BOI will continue to give its full support to start-ups. In this edition, we are pleased to share with you the success of two entrepreneurs. Foods Worth Ltd is a company that has been set up to give strategic orientation to the sector of food processing. The project has necessitated an investment of some Rs 17 million in a modern factory. It employs 20 people with a projection of increasing its work force by 25% by the end of this year so as to meet the demands of its expanding market which presently comprises buyers from Germany, France, England, and Reunion Island. Secondly, you will be introduced to the founder of Mobi Move Ltd, a start-up company involved in the development of tailor-made mobile applications for the UK market. Jonathan Siao has partnered with digital agencies in UK to develop applications for prestigious brands like ITV UK, Mercedes, Peugeot, Dunhill, Dolce & Gabbana and United Coffee. Someone who had no particular passion for Mathematics but whose motivation is to find practical solutions for challenges has created an enterprise which today employs 11 young people. We are equally pleased to announce the 4th annual edition of Private Equity Mauritius conference, scheduled on 25th and 26th of this month in Mauritius. Themed "Capitalsing Africa's Growth", the conference aims at reaffirming our position as a trusted and proven financial centre for private equity transactions in Africa and the region. This year, the conference will have a special focus on the strategy of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and Sovereign Wealth Funds for Africa as well as the increasingly important role of private equity funds in socioeconomic development and their impact on investment across the continent. We will welcome eminent speakers including Dr Martyn Davies, Terry Smith and Nainesh Jaisingh as well as CEOs of leading private equity funds and foundations active in Africa. In this issue we also present investment prospects in Mozambique along with an account of the positive outcome of the US-Africa Leaders Summit held on 4th and 5th August in Washington. We look forward to welcoming you at the Private Equity Mauritius Conference and reiterate our determination to give you all possible assistance for the materialization of your investment projects.

Fun & games
In the 18th and 19th centuries life in Chichester was thriving and many new houses were built.
The City's gates were demolished to ease traffic congestion and large sections of wall were removed to improve access, breaking the walls circuit for the first time since it was built by the Romans.
The walls were saved from complete demolition when the City Council invested in a tree-lined promenade along the top of the walls for the enjoyment of local residents.
Leisure pursuits were an important part of city life and in 1850 Priory Park was laid out including the cricket pitch and bowling green. The Priory Park Cricket Club was founded a year later.
At about the same time the walls began to be appreciated for their historical significance and the first archaeological excavations were undertaken.
Since then very little has changed on the walls. For 200 years residents and visitors to Chichester have enjoyed an elevated stroll around the City.
Today the walls are listed as a scheduled monument of national importance.

I have been meaning to post this all week, certainly I meant to post alongside my Soft Pretzels, but here, finally it is – an Apricot Dipping Sauce. This is great with the pretzels, even better with any type of breaded chicken or "nuggets." It's also a great sauce to use in the final moments of barbecuing pork or chicken or brushed on chicken wings to caramelize.
A bit sweet, a bit spicy with a touch of Asian flair, this sauce is also easily adapted or changed up. And it doesn't really taste like apricots, doctored up with all the flavors. I straight up stole it from Gourmet years ago and doctor/change it up all the time. We love it!
Use this as a base recipe and feel free to make it your own! I put a few of my favorite changes in parentheses. It will keep in the fridge, tightly covered, for several weeks.
Do watch for coupons on jam or jellies – when there are coupons, there are usually sales. There's no need to be paying full price for pantry items like this that keep forever.
Apricot Dipping Sauce
- 1 3/4 cups apricot jam
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste (I like 1 tablespoon)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped scallion greens (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste (or a teaspoon apple cider vinegar)
- Dash of Tabasco, or to taste (and/or a few hot pepper flakes)
- (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Chinese hot mustard)
Melt jam in a small saucepan. Stir in remaining ingredients (I prefer to simmer several minutes for a thicker sauce, stirring often ). Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
- Reheat sauce over low heat, stirring.
- This sauce is also excellent with a little finely grated ginger

In 1966, she joins the group, Big Brother and the Holding Company – a hippie psychedelic rock band that releases popular tunes such as Pieces of my Heart carried by the raw, powerful and tormented voice of the singer. Janis Joplin soon emerges as a celebrated star and she forms the Kozmic Blue Band followed by the Full Tilt Boogie Band that emphasize her signature style made of colourful feathers in the hair, round sunglasses bohemian and tie dye frocks. Having imposed herself in a rock environment dominated by men and the incarnation of the 1960s Flower Power, Janis Joplin nonetheless did not manage to overcome her inner demons and died of a heroine overdose, joining the sadly famous 27 Club just a few weeks after Jimi Hendrix. The singer who liked to be called Pearl had planned a huge party after her death, insisting that the 'drinks are on Pearl'.

History of the New Orleans Chinese Baptist Church
Under God's guidance, the Cantonese and Mandarin Bible study groups in the Greater New Orleans area joined in September 1981 through Rev. Peter Kung of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The following year in June, the New Orleans Chinese Baptist Church (NOCBC) was established. Sunday services and all other church activities were conducted at the Memorial Baptist Church in Metairie while the members were planning for a permanent church building.
Construction of the present church building started in May of 1996 with the assistance from the mission builders of the Louisiana Baptist Convention and the devoted support of the entire congregation of the NOCBC. The church building was officially inaugurated in January 1997. Pastors Benjamin Kuo and David Lo served the church during the 1980's and 1990's. Pastor Hongfu Liu served the church from 2000 until January, 2012. Rev. James Ng is the current Senior Pastor since September 2016.

Today, I got more familiar with color healing + working with elemental healing. It was so fun! ❤ Crystal vibrational studies got a peak too! All this while I write the descriptions for the new stuff to the etsy store. Almost ready to announce but doing the final tweaks/feedback this week. Water and Fire elementals are currently the most popular in the shop. Makes sense as I am Pisces cusping Aires. However, I came across this and love it!

Black Screen Solution For iPhone And iPad In iOS 10
If you own an Apple iPhone or iPad in iOS 10, it's possible that you have a black screen after the iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 has been turned on. Even though the iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 buttons light up like normal, the screen remains black and nothing is showing up. The iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 screen won't turn on at random times for different people, but the common issue is that the screen fails to turn on and wake up, thus having a black screen. There are several different ways to try to solve the iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 blank screen issue, follow the instructions below to learn how to fix the Apple iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 black screen not turning on issue.
Troubleshooting iOS 10 Update Fail Connect to iTunes Problem
If you experience the "connect to iTunes" problem, iOS 10 update has failed and you will need to use iTunes to fix the issue.
- Connect the impacted iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a computer with a USB cable
- Open iTunes and choose "Update" – this may allow the device to complete the iOS 10 update process
- If "Update" is not available or fails, choose "Restore"
Factory Reset Apple iPhone and iPad in iOS 10
If the method above didn't help you fix the black screen problem on the iPhone and iPad in iOS 10, then you should try to factory reset the smartphone. The following is a guide on how to factory reset the Apple iPhone and iPad in iOS 10. It's important to note that before you go to factory reset an iPhone and iPad in iOS 10, you should back up all files and information to prevent any data from being lost.
Boot to Recovery Mode and Wipe Cache Partition
The following steps will get the Apple iPhone and iPad in iOS 10 into Recovery Mode by booting the smartphone:
- Connect your iPhone and iPad to your computer and open iTunes.
- While your iPhone and iPad is connected, force restart it: (Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, and don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen)
- When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device.
- Boot to Recovery Mode and Wipe Cache Partition
- Select on Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage. Then select on Manage Storage. After that tap an item in Documents and Data. Then slide unwanted items to the left and tap Delete. Finally tap Edit > Delete All to remove all the app's data.
Recovery Mode
If force restart does not work (your iDevice still does not respond), try this. Following these steps will put your device into recovery mode that may fix your issue.
- Try to back up your device. Some users stated that this black screen goes away after 5-10 seconds. If your problem is like that, back up your device via iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Backup > Backup Now.
- Connect your device to your computer, Mac (macOS) or PC (Windows).
- Launch iTunes
- Now force your device to restart (see above):
- iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: press and hold both the Power (sleep/wake) and Volume Down buttons simultaneously
- iPhone 6s and earlier models and all iPad models: Press and hold both the Power (sleep/wake) and Home buttons simultaneously
- Do not release the buttons, just keep holding down until you see the recovery mode screen:
- You will see an alert message. Simply choose Update. Now iTunes will update your device.
How to Fix a Completely Failed iOS 10 Update
iOS 10 update totally failed and now you can't use an iPhone or iPad at all? This is pretty rare, but if it happens you may need to try a Recovery Mode Restore. This works if for some reason your device continues to have problems with the iOS 10 update failing or iOS 10 update getting stuck.
First let's assume you connected the iPhone or iPad to iTunes and used the above methods near the top of the article to no success. The iPhone or iPad is totally bricked and unusable. That's when this next step comes in.
What you'll need to do is to restore it through iTunes with Recovery Mode, here's how:
- With the iPhone or iPad connected to the computer, hold down the Home button and Power button until you see the Apple logo
- As soon as you see the Apple logo, hold down the HOME button only and let go of the power button
- Keep holding the Home button until iTunes notifies you of a device in Recovery Mode
- Choose to Restore the iPhone or iPad while in Recovery Mode
Once the device is recovered it will either restore from a backup, or you can update to iOS 10 again through iTunes.
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below.

Meet the Gypsy caravans that bring the magic to your event…
Ruby – Gypsy caravan for hire
'Ruby' is a traditionally painted bowtop with intricate Romany scrolls. Her prime colour reflects that of a good vintage red wine with a lining to match using Vanessa Arbuthnott's 'For the Love of Rose' fabric which features shepherds huts and vignettes of country life from a bygone age. The curtains are an artwork in themselves, ethically sourced and block printed by hand in India.
Indigo – Gypsy caravan for hire
'Indigo' has been inspired by the block print fabrics of India. Designed to reflect the iridescent colours of the ocean, the design sits on a background of turquoise and shimmers with gold leaf and crimson. The internal lining is crafted from pure linen with fresh blues to compliment her artwork. The soft furnishings are chosen specifically to compliment the interior lining and exterior artwork .
Bluebell – Gypsy caravan for hire
The artwork of 'Bluebell' was inspired by the beautiful fabrics of Collier Campbell. The colourful motifs of an english country garden have been known to trick nature into believing the artwork is real as butterflies flutter inquisitively around the painted and gold leafed flowers. Beautifully lined with hand woven and hand spun organic cotton from India. Attention to detail on the soft furnishings adds to the caravan's complimentary edge.
Ziggy – Gypsy caravan for hire
The artwork for 'Ziggy' was inspired by the Mehndi henna tattoos of ancient India. She is an explosion of colour and pattern interspersed with 21.5 carat gold leaf. She is a head turner wherever she goes. Beautifully lined with hand woven and hand spun organic cotton from India. The quality of the internal soft furnishings compliments the lining and reflects on the caravans high end workmanship.
Woody – Gypsy caravan for hire
'Woody' is a celebration of nature from the English countryside. A magical presentation of flora and fauna, as animals, fairy lights, full moons and gypsy caravans balance on the branches of a chinoiserie style oak tree. She is lined with the beautiful fabrics of Vanessa Arbuthnott that reflect, with images of ferns and cow parsley, the beauty of the countryside. Great attention is taken in selecting the best quality soft furnishings that reflect the caravans charm.

For those of you who wanted a return to the style of racing at the "old" Bristol, well, by and large, you got it in the Irwin Tools Night Race at the high-banked, 0.533-mile track.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup event was indeed a near-clone of the slugfests that characterized races at Bristol for so many years.
There were 13 caution periods for 87 laps, the most since 15 on March 25, 2007.
The track surface was again, essentially, a one-groove oval on which passing was difficult.
The difference was the groove was on the high side of the track whereas, in the past, the best way around was to stick to the bottom.
There were frayed tempers and confrontations, the most notable of which was an irate Tony Stewart's response to Matt Kenseth – whom he blamed for their wreck on lap 334.
Stewart angrily threw his helmet at Kenseth's Ford as it departed pit road during the caution. Incidentally, at Bristol, it wasn't the first time an upset driver used another's car for target practice.
Frankly, it was all very entertaining.
So it begs the question, did the grinding process ordered by Bruton Smith, chairman of Speedway Motorsports Inc., to return the track to the way it was before its 2007 reconfiguration work?
Well, depends upon your point of view.
As said, Bristol remains pretty much a one-groove track. The lower groove disappeared – or at least it was slow and thus the bump-and-run tactics used to pass there did not return.
Instead, drivers utilized the upper portion of the track, which was clearly faster.
Maybe that means Bristol may not have changed completely, but through an improbable series of events, the night race returned to the exciting affair it once was.
There were moves that were reminiscent of the old bump and run. Already mentioned were the displays of temper.
Stewart was certainly not alone. Danica Patrick expressed her anger by pointing a rigid finger at transgressor Regan Smith following an accident on lap 436.
And winner Denny Hamlin's move to take the lead on lap 461 of 500 was just like the old days.
Hamlin shot low in the first turn and slid up in front of Carl Edwards. Edwards had gained so much momentum he hit the rear end of Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
By rights, Hamlin should have spun out. Instead he kept his car straight, led the rest of the way and went on to win by 1.103 seconds over Jimmie Johnson.
"You did what you had to do," said Hamlin, who has now won three times this year. " The only thing you could do was slide in front of somebody. You still had the old Bristol. It's still one line and you had to knock someone out of the way to make them move.
"Somehow, our car worked so phenomenal on the bottom all day. We made most of our passes without touching a soul. That was the difference.
"No matter what Bruton does nothing is going to make us stay on the bottom if it's not the fastest way around the track. But we were able to make the most of it."
Before the track grinding, Bristol had become a two-groove track. Drivers, now free to pass easier and race side-by-side more often, reveled in that.
Seems many fans did not and showed their disapproval by staying away from the spring race this year.
So Smith, with much publicity, announced the reconfiguration.
Again, while the race itself was entertaining and recalled the past, changes made to it were, perhaps, were at least marginally successful.
"Inside the car, to complete a pass, you had to set someone off and make a banzai pass to slide up in front of them," said Johnson, who has also won three times this year and earned his 17th top-10 finish of 2012. "But when you are around the top, the pace was so high up there.
It was intense for us inside the car, but I don't know if that crossed over for everyone.
"It was very difficult to pass. Over the years we had a period of time where it was easy to run side‑by‑side and now a big effort to get it back to a single‑file lane again.
"So in some ways it's the same. We are just racing on different parts of the race track."
Brad Keselowski was a pre-race favorite because he had won the previous two Bristol races. But he ended up as one of several unhappy victims of an accident.
He was taken out of the event on lap 272 after a backstretch incident with Bobby Labonte. Keselowski finished 30th.
"We were just fair," Keselowski said. " You know, we weren't prepared for the track to drive this stupid and that's what it is. It's the way it is.
"Yeah, I know the goal was to make a one-groove race track so there'd be more action. But it had an inverse affect to where now everybody is running up against the wall.
"And the pace of the field, combined with hard tires, has made the track just even more of an aerodynamic fest."
As mentioned, there was plenty of driver intensity, which, most likely, the fans could feel.
Most of it was created when competitors were forced to adapt to the high side of the track – and then move even higher when more rubber was ground into the top side.
Adaptation was not easy.
"Yeah, I mean, the pace was fast," said Jeff Gordon, Johnson's teammate who finished third. "You could fly up around the top like that with all that rubber down.
"I don't know what kind of lap times we were running, but I hit my rev limiter every single lap, we didn't have it set right for that pace. It was fast, and it was intense, because it was so tough to pass."
But it was, in the end, the old-time Bristol. It was one groove, high speed and difficult to pass.
"Any time you feel like you're better than the guy ahead you and he's holding you up," Gordon said, "you look and the cars are lined up behind you, then you're like, 'Man, if I make a move, I'd better be sure that I've got him.' "
"It's all the same thing," said Hamlin. "We're all running in a line and just waiting for a guy to screw up.
That's what you had at the old Bristol.
"And it's the way Bristol racing is supposed to be – rooting and gouging."
