What if you had a window into the history of your family? With historical records, you do. From home life to career, records help bring your relatives' experiences into focus. There were 8 people named Bargiachi in the 1930 U.S. Census. In 1940, there were 12% less people named Bargiachi in the United States. What was life like for them?
In 1940, 7 people named Bargiachi were living in the United States. In a snapshot:

Through the years we have witnessed several rural development initiatives in the country that have either gone undocumented or found a passing reference somewhere. Nevertheless, it is felt that a large number of such development initiatives that abound in the country have still not been showcased or presented in the public domain. Apart from this, many State Governments, NGOs, Community Service Providers, Banks and other individuals have contributed through their own development schemes or initiatives in making a difference to the rural milieu. These development initiatives, when properly documented, provide the necessary academic inputs to BIRD's learning curriculum besides spreading awareness among others. It is time, therefore, that we make concerted efforts to collate such field level initiatives at the national level and publish some of the case studies on remarkable developmental initiatives / enterprises / systems / processes in the country that have made an impact in the lives of the rural communities with specific learning opportunities. It would, at the same time, also be interesting to document even those experiences that for some reason did not generate the necessary success that was anticipated for learning from such experiences.
Recognizing this need for creating a Depository of such development initiatives that would provide the necessary resources to update its course curriculum, BIRD is pleased to announce a case documentation drive to encourage all the employees of NABARD, including retired NABARD officers, NGO professionals and Bankers with training establishments of Banks to prepare case studies documenting success / failure in the domain of agriculture and rural development, with emphasis on rural credit. More specifically, the cases may be written on Watershed/ Wadi Development, Agri-Marketing, Formation and Functioning of Producer Organizations, NPA Management in Rural Banks, ICT Applications in Rural Banking, HR Issues in Rural Banking, Microfinance / livelihood initiatives / Financial Inclusion / Financial Literacy / Financial Capability, etc. The institutional focus may be Commercial Banks, RRBs, Cooperative banks, NGO-MFIs and Government.

Yesterday I finally hit up the new weekend brunch at Postino Central, and it was pretty much exactly what I expected in the way of breakfast-y grub from the popular wine bar.
Grilled focaccia with herbed butter and asparagus hit the spot, with thick, barely charred bread that soaked up the yolk from two gooey, overeasy eggs. It was served with a zingy little salad of tomato salad.

Off The Rack Garments
Sometimes events catch us off guard and there just isn't time for a full custom order. Lucky for you, we stock a beautiful and seasonally rotating selection of off the rack suits, separates, and shirts! Given about three weeks time, our alterations team can adjust these garments to fit a wide range of bodies. Selections are limited, so please give us a call to see what is available.
Have some garments you love that never fit quite right? Maybe you just could not pass up a great sale price, or found something that is almost perfect at a vintage store? Duchess can help!
Duchess will alter woven tailored suits, separates, and shirts for men and women. We do not work with knits, bridal gowns, denim, or technical fabrics (like nylon athletic jackets) - but we can refer you to businesses that will. If you have a question about a specific garment, contact us or bring it by the showroom and we will let you know if we will alter it.
When we accept an alteration project, we will provide a price quote and an estimate of turnaround time. Our standard turnaround time is three weeks. We may be able to turn a project around more quickly depending on our current custom workload, however rush alterations (72 hour turnaround time) will incur a 20% surcharge. Please note that for complex alteration projects (e.g. those requiring extensive alteration or those involving garments with fabric damage), we may require 24-48 hours to prepare the quote so that the alterations team has time to assess what needs to be done.
We have a selection of fine accessories available in our showroom including neckties, bowties, pocket squares, socks, lapel pins, tie bars, and cufflinks. Some of our pieces are vintage and therefore one of a kind.
We do occasionally work with independent designers and sell items on consignment. If you think your items may be a good fit for Duchess, contact us for more information. Please note, however, that our showroom space is limited so we may only be able to carry a highly curated selection of your products.

Local police departments nationwide are using technologies like Stingray to track and monitor cell phones, and they are very secretive about it. Several organizations and activists across the country are doing their best to dig as deep as the rabbit hole goes.
Aaron Cynic writes at Chicagoist:
A local privacy activist has filed a second lawsuit aimed at the Chicago Police Department after CPD released a handful of documents admitting it has equipment that monitors and tracks cellphones. Freddy Martinez filed his first lawsuit against CPD in June, demanding it turn over records related to purchases of ISMI catchers, commonly referred to as "Stingrays," devices which mimic cell phone towers and collect data from phone calls, texts and more. Martinez's first suit garnered a meager three pages of invoices that show CPD purchased the technology.
In an interview with CBS Chicago, Freddy Martinez said:
"It's strongly suspected that the Chicago Police Department does monitor protesters and constitutionally protected activities. They bought them. We don't know if they're using them, because they haven't told us, but what kind of violations are we talking about here."
While the department says it's keeping as quiet as it can on the issue due to the pending lawsuit, preventing the public from knowing the full spectrum of Stingray use is an all too common practice nationwide. According to an interactive map from the ACLU, 43 agencies in 18 states own Stingray technology. But that number is a low estimate because agencies are secretive about their purchase and use.

Food marketing specialist Simona Palese put it best on her Facebook when she wrote: "My job is one in which it's tough to establish the dividing line between work and fun. Sometimes I think there is no line. Maybe the line doesn't divide but rather combines work and fun. And maybe that line is called 'passion.'"
She was writing about Paolo Cantele's performance and evening as a chef at Imbottigliati in Cucina earlier this week at the restaurant Le Macàre in Alezio in Lecce province (Puglia).
"Imbottigliati in Cucina" means literally bottled in the kitchen: It's a series produced by SlowFood where winemakers cook, chefs serve as waiters, and wine writers work as sommeliers.
For Paolo's evening at the popular restaurant Le Macàre, he made two dishes that reflected his Northern Italian origins: Polenta and Baccalà for the Veneto side of his family and Tagliatelle alla Bolognese for the Emilia-Romgagna side.
Those are polenta chips atop creamed salt cod (baccalà) and grilled polenta in the photo above.
Cantele wines were served at the event to the delight of all present.

Where I Come From: An Educational Bio
Education requires the most fervent of servants to accomplish goliath expectations. Teaching is not a job or a career to me. It is a lifestyle and it is what motivates me. Passion for what is done as educators is something that is ignited from a fuel that is manufactured in the labor of love that IS education. It is a passion that must be nurtured so that it does not waver, because the classroom is a battlefield.
With all of the recent political drama and memes floating around about the president's nominee for Sec. of Education, it has caused me to reflect on my education as a child and where I am today. The factors that influenced myself to become a teacher stem from circumstances in my childhood that had one only solution…education. Growing up in poverty, without a father, with yet-to-be-diagnosed ADHD, the brother of a girl with Down Syndrome with a significant developmental delay, I was the child in your class who needed you the most. I had no one other than my mother to guide me and while she did what she could, I was left to tend to myself a majority of the time. Growing up in a single-parent home living below the poverty line was difficult as a student. Though I could not define or comprehend the levity of the situation, my mother knew that it was a classroom that could offer me more than she could. She did the best that she could to ensure that I was there. All of these situations/life circumstances directly influenced myself to become a teacher. These were labels. These were stereotypes. These were excuses. There was one solution out of this…education.
Education is the solution to poverty. In my experience while serving in the countries of Mexico and Haiti, it became evident that the lacking institution that could directly impact the human condition was and is education. I identify myself closely with the needs of the economically impoverished, because I have been there, and have left it due to…education. My greatest accomplishment in education is simply understanding the power and levity of education. It is breaking the cycle of poverty with education. I was the first person in my immediate family to attend college and graduate, and then use my story to motivate and empower a new generation of thinkers.
Being fatherless is not an excuse, it is fuel. It IS easier to build strong children than to repair broken men, as Frederick Douglass once noted. Children need leaders. I have been asked why I chose the profession of education often. My response has yet to waver: "I always wanted to be the teacher I never had." Why is it that people remember more about certain teachers than others? My desire is to cultivate positive relationships with students that are based off of the understanding that ALL children can learn. With the changing roles in the homes of families, it is imperative that the role of the teacher is to edify, inspire, and cultivate promise in all learners of all backgrounds and abilities.

Guinea pigs immunized with dinitrophenylated human γG globulin (DNP-HGG) formed precipitating antibody which reacted with the immunizing protein, with DNP coupled to heterologous carriers, and, in many cases, with the carrier (HGG) molecule itself. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions were directed almost exclusively against the DNP-HGG complex. When animals were immunized with the same quantities of DNP-HGG bound in antibody excess immune precipitates to either anti-DNP or anti-carrier (anti-Fc) the humoral responses to both the DNP and the carrier determinants were markedly reduced. On the other hand such precipitates were effective in initiating cell-mediated responses; delayed hypersensitivity skin testing revealed that these animals were indistinguishable in this respect from animals sensitized with "free" DNP-HGG.
Animals rendered unresponsive to either the carrier (HGG) or the hapten molecules, by intravenous administration of either HGG or dinitrophenylated bovine serum albumin, produced minimal responses to simultaneous administration of DNP-HGG in complete Freund's adjuvant. In these animals both delayed hypersensitivity reactions and circulating antibody formation were markedly reduced.
The results suggest that the "processing" of antigen to initiate cell mediated and humoral responses proceeds, at a very early stage, along different pathways.

Steampunk jewelry tonigh with… Hilde Heyvaert
1.- The interviewee
As we said in the presentation post of this brief interviews series, Hilde Heyvaert is our first interviewee. She is a Belgian fashion & costume designer and editor with a college education and training in Graphic Design.
House of Secrets Incorporated is her independant designer identity and, now that her old column, 'The Steampunk Wardrobe', is no longer in roulation due to the discontinuation of the Gatehouse Gazette magazine, she provides handy information for steampunks and dieselpunks on The Gatehouse blog.
2.- The Interview
2.1.- Steampunk Jewelry in general
Q.- Hilde, you have been fashion editor and reviewer for the Gatehouse Gazette since the very beginning of this initiative. Could you tell us how did you get involved in this project?
A.- Back in the day (somewhere in 2008) there was pretty much only Steampunk Magazine, and whilst that was a great initiative, it wasn't the easiest to submit to, and it wasn't released in a very timely manner (no one ever really knew when the next issue would be out). So at some point someone on the Smoking Lounge forum ventured that we might as well make our own magazine. Something everyone that wanted to would be able to easily submit to, and something that would have a steady release. We ended up going for 21 bi-monthly issues, covered a myriad of topics and ran several colums and had over a dozen contributors so I like to think we did a pretty good job on that.
I was involved from the start, because I thought it was a great idea, and I thought it would be really cool to have a column that helps people getting to know some of the substyles of Steampunk and Dieselpunk and help them with ideas for outfits and costumes. Especially if they're on a budget.
So basically I got involved because I happened to be around when it was suggested and started and thought: oh here's a good idea!
The Gatehouse Gazette may be no more by the way, but we haven't really quit, we are now The Gatehouse blog so Nick, Marcus and I are still very active doing what we were doing before, just in a different format.
Q.- Furthermore, you studied a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and you are specialized in advertising. And, as if that were not enough, you are a self-taught fashion and costume designer. All this background gives you a really broad perspective on the Steampunk scene and aesthetics. What's Steampunk jewelry for you?
A.- On to my masters! That aside, to me jewelry is a necessary part of fashion (any fashion, not just steampunk) because it really adds to an outfit or costume, just like accessories. It can really complete what you're wearing. Or make a casual outfit just that little more special.
Q.- Which influences should it have then?
A.- I don't think anyone or anything should necessarily be influenced by certain things. I think that inspiration can be found anywhere as long as you keep your mind and eyes open.
Q.- And what challenges do you think Steampunk jewelry designers face?
A.- I think that competition from big chains such as H&M, TopShop etc poses a very real problem right now. They have the size and means to produce bits and pieces at far lower prices than independant designers can.
I have to admit I know little about the business and process of making actual proper jewelry as I'm not schooled in that.
Q.- Which would be your main recommendation for them?

Fall is here, and I for one, am super excited for warm bowls of soup, stew and broth. I love soup, but I just can't bring myself to make it until the weather cools down.
This season, I'm taking my soup game to the next level.
Enter: bone broth.
So before you grab a can of store bought chicken stock, or bouillon, you should know that bone broth has some incredible health benefits.
For thousands of years, our ancestors have used bones to make broth (because they didn't waste any part of the animal), but unfortunately, it's not made in every household anymore.
There is a reason that chicken soup is the first thing we grab when we're sick. It's because bone broth is one of the most nutrient dense, nourishing, and easily-digestible foods you can incorporate into your diet, and is often used to ease digestive issues and inflammation. Our body is able to absorb and use the minerals, glucosamine, collagen, glycine, glutathione, amino acids (and more) that are released when bones are slow cooked for 12-24 hours.
To make bone broth, you can use soup bones, oxtail, short ribs, chicken carcasses, and even chicken feet. It's even better if you can get bones from pasture-raised animals, because the end result is even healthier! (Remember, healthy happy animals = healthier animal products.)
To make bone broth:
You want to cook the bones low and slow. Plan on 12-24 hours (longer for beef bones than for poultry).
- You can use a stock pot or crockpot.
- Add the bones, 2 roughly chopped carrots, 2-3 stalks of celery, 1/2 an onion, 2-3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, salt & pepper.
- Top with water until everything is covered with 1 inch of water.
- Cover and cook on low for 12-24 hours.**
- Store the cooled bone broth in the fridge for a couple of days, or freeze for longer storage.
A note on fat: When you store the broth in the fridge, the fat will separate into a solid layer. You can remove most of the fat (leave about 10% for flavor in the broth). Don't toss it though! You can use the healthy fat for cooking (it'll add flavor cooking burgers, eggs, and more)
**Pro-tip – for particularly meaty beef bones, you can repeat this process twice for a bonus batch of broth. You can reduce the amount of water for the second batch, to make sure that it's still as concentrated as the first batch.
You can sip on bone broth on its own, use it in soups and stews, or use it in place of water when cooking rice & quinoa. Let me know when you try it! I've loved having it on hand.

The 1650 capacity Super Club, located in the heart of the West End, has launched a new dining offering called Haymarket Kitchen and has opened its doors to a new nightlife experience called Luxe.
The refurbished venue hosts thousands of events per year for bookers looking for alternative large spaces in central London. The venue is frequently used by some of the UK's most recognised brands including John Lewis.
Luxe is the perfect addition to Tiger Tiger with a private entrance separate to the main club available to bookers. The space has a luxurious Vegas theme, ideal for product launches, company parties and team building activities. The new food and drink offering at Haymarket Kitchen offers a selection of casual dining options for daytime catering through to three course dinner banqueting options.
Georgina Coleman, Head of Event Sales commented: "Tiger Tiger is one of our most popular venues within the group. The location, capacity and budget friendly venue plays host to some of the biggest corporate events in London. The venue attracts such a broad range of events both nationally and internationally, we wanted to invest in the site ahead of our Rugby World Cup bookings and the Christmas period."
The refurbished Tiger Tiger Haymarket site, is the fifth venue from the Late Night London collection to undergo improvements in 2015.

Last Friday, 18th October was 'Stand Up to Cancer' day and people all over the world will be doing 'standathons' to raise money for Cancer Research.
But should we be doing this more often in the office? Long periods of sitting are bad for your health and research has said that standing at work could help increase your health and promote a better lifestyle.
More and more companies are promoting standing up and moving around regularly as part of your working day, with more standing desks turning up in the office.
As the office is evolving everything is becoming mobile; activity based working and hot desking are becoming commonplace in the office.
Designers are increasingly changing the way they think about furniture in order to cater for this change in working.
Having a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to diabetes and heart disease, whereas standing at a desk can burn up to 30,000 calories a year.
Do you think you should start standing at work?

In Brief
- The company BeeHex has developed a 3D printer for NASA that can make pizzas. It will allow astronauts to cook in space.
- The 3D printer, which received $1 million in funding, will also be available on Earth as "Chef 3D."
Now that 3D-printing technology has become more vital and relevant than ever, Silicon Valley startup BeeHex has harnessed this technology to 3D print pizza. Yes, you read that right. Edible, cheesy, delicious pizza can now be printed by a pre-programmed robot.
Funded by a grant from NASA, the purpose of this invention was to create a way for astronauts to select and produce delicious food for themselves on missions. As manned missions to Mars become an ever-increasing possibility, astronauts might be spending much more time in space. To save space-goers from the drudgery of choking down freeze-dried, pre-packaged "space food" day after day, month after month, NASA decided it was time to develop a way to cook in space.
This technology will soon be adopted commercially for us Earth-dwellers as well. The robot, which has raised $1 million in funding, will be branded as the Chef 3D. The Chef 3D is set to appear at theme parks, malls, and even sports arenas.
While this may be yet another technology that replaces existing jobs for humans, it will be capable of creating food more quickly and cleanly than a human chef could. Who knows, perhaps the next time you go to see your favorite sports team play, you will be snacking on robot food.

What are you unable to stop after you start? Do you:
- Tell yourself you'll eat just a few chips, then eat the whole bag?
- Watch funny YouTube videos "for a few minutes", and then notice that an hour has passed?
- Choose to have "one drink", and end up having five?
- Decide to play video games "for an hour" and then later discover you've been at it the entire night?
- Tell yourself you'll check your stock portfolio "just once more" today, and then check it three more times?
Regardless of whether an activity is considered physically addictive, if you can't stop doing it when you know you should, that activity is addictive (to you) in a meaningful sense.
Wikipedia's description of addiction is enlightening:
Classic hallmarks of addiction include: impaired control over the behavior, preoccupation with the behavior, continuation despite consequences, and denial. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).
The way some people drink coffee, read wikipedia, refresh email, post to comment threads, eat unhealthy foods, and check Facebook satisfy most of these criteria.
Suppose someone tells you that the last five times he's gone to McDonald's he's eaten more food than intended. He says that even noticing his overeating didn't curb this behavior. What do you think will happen the next time he goes to McDonald's? If willpower, and a conscious desire to eat less didn't work for him the last five times, why would it work for him the next time?
Now suppose that this person who overeats at McDonald's is you. You may be convinced that you have a choice as to whether to eat too much at McDonald's, that you are in control of yourself. But if every time you've been placed in that situation you failed to stop, why should next time be any different? If your willpower failed before, why would it succeed this time? As long as you are not different than you were, and the environment is not different either, you should not expect to get different results.
The ideal rate of an activity that is addictive to you is not necessarily zero. Just because you can't stop when you start doesn't mean you should never start. Perhaps spending an entire saturday playing video games once every three months is actually worth it to you. But the fact that you find an activity addictive implies that you should be much more cautious about starting in the first place. The choice you are making is not between eating zero chips and eating five. It is between eating zero chips and eating the entire bag. Stop telling yourself lies: if you couldn't stop at five chips in the past, you very likely can't stop at five this time either.
Once you accept that if you buy the chips you'll be eating the whole bag, then you're more likely to buy them at a more appropriate rate. If you cling to the idea that you are in control, and can stop whenever you want, then you'll buy as though you can stop at five chips, even though you'll eat as though you can't.
There are certain cases where the right rate of a pleasurable activity is actually zero. If five chips is worth it, but an entire bag never is, and you always end up eating the entire bag, you probably shouldn't ever be buying chips. Fortunately, cravings tend to fade. Cutting something out of your life may at first lead to increased cravings, but for most things those cravings will diminish. As long as you can avoid situations which re-trigger your desire, you may even forget that the object of your addiction exists. So you definitely shouldn't hang around smokers when you're trying to quit smoking.
Sometimes, the right choice is not cutting an activity out, but changing its form. Perhaps you can't stop playing World of Warcraft once you log on, but there may be other games you enjoy that you don't have nearly as much trouble stopping. So switch to one of those. Or maybe there is a certain type of chip that you find you always over consume, but another snack you enjoy almost as much that you can eat in reasonable quantities.
Most people in America are addicted to something. Food, TV, drugs, the internet, and games are common culprits. Companies have a profit motive to make these products addictive. They balance the fat, sugar, and salt in foods to try to make them maximally delicious, maximally difficult to stop eating. Foods today are far more difficult to stop eating than anything your ancestors from a hundred thousand years ago would have encountered. Likewise, online gaming companies fine tune game parameters to maximize the time that you play. They know that if you find treasure chests too often the game lacks excitement, and if you find them too infrequently, the game is frustrating. So they experiment on millions of users to figure out the optimal rate of treasure chests to keep people playing.
Want to reduce your addictions? Start right now by answering these four questions:
1. What activities do you have trouble stopping once you've started (or start more frequently than you should), even past the point when you know you should stop?
- Checking Facebook
- Playing console games
- Drinking alcohol
- Eating too much bread
2. What situations lead to you engaging in these activities?
- While surfing the internet you find yourself logging into Facebook
- You feel bored and sit down in font of your game console
- Friends invite you to a bar, or you remember the bottle of vodka in your freezer and open the freezer door
- You're at a restaurant and the server brings bread to the table
3. What could you do to avoid getting into these situations where your addictions are activated?
- Lock yourself out of Facebook or other time-wasting sites during certain hours of the day (or limit your usage to a certain amount of time per day) using software such as WasteNoTime (Safari & Chrome), Nanny (Chrome), LeechBlock (Firefox), Eclipse (Windows), Freedom (Mac & Windows), Anti-Social (Mac), or Concentrate (Mac).
- Sell your game console (or cancel your World of Warcraft subscription). Only play at friend's houses, which will put a natural cap on how much gaming you can do.
- Suggest to your friends that you meet at a coffee shop instead of a bar. Don't keep alcohol in your house, for any reason (even if you resist drinking 95% of the times you notice the alcohol in your fridge, you'll still find yourself drinking the other times).
- As soon as you sit down at the restaurant, tell the server you don't want bread (if the bread is sitting in front of you, you're probably going to eat it).
4. What can you do right now to help make sure you carry out these strategies?
- Download and setup one of the previously mentioned website blockers
- Immediately go post your game console on ebay
- Add repeated weekly reminders to your calendar to remind you never to keep alcohol at home
- Set a timer that will go off just before you reach the restaurant tomorrow, reminding you to tell the server you don't want bread
You've got strategies now. Go implement them!

Quarter Horse Mares
dial a tivio
"KD" is a buckskin AQHA mare that we purchased in 1998 to be one of our foundation broodmares. She is has amazing bloodlines from working quarter horse stock. With names like King Leo Bar and Poco Bueno as her great grandfathers we knew she would be a winner. KD was given to our dear friend, Anne Volanski, where she continues to produce amazing Azteca and AQHA foals.
She gave us a number of beautiful AQHA foals of all colours as well as one Azteca foal.
Her foals are:
Tivio's Two Mooned Jack (AQHA) chestnut
Tivio Jack's Ms Holly (AQHA) bay
Miles Over Tivio Jack (AQHA) palomino
Tivio Jack's Mr Porter (AQHA) chestnut
Tivio Jack's Ms Enya (AQHA) buckskin
VMF Tivio's Sr Jackson (Azteca) bay
tivio jacks ms enya
Enya is a beautiful Buckskin AQHA mare. Her dam is our mare KD and her sire is Mister Dress Up. After getting such lovely foal when we got Holly, we did the cross again and produced our sweet little Enya. What an amazing blend of working QH lines and halter QH lines. As with Holly, we got the best of both worlds. Her dam's side includes King Leo Bar and Poco Bueno and her sire's side includes greats like Two-eyed Jack, Obvious Conclusion and Impressive. Enya is HYPP double negative. Enya now resides in Alberta with her new owner, Nettie Barr of Canadian Natural Horsemanship where she is happily producing more beautiful babies.
Enya'a list of Azteca foals include:
VMF Valiosa Unica (Buckskin Azteca)
VMF Estrella Brillante (Buckskin Azteca)
tivio jacks ms holly
Holly is a gorgeous Bay AQHA mare. Her dam is our mare kd and her sire is Mister Dress Up. We mixed working QH lines with halter QH lines to get the best of both with this mare. Her dam's side includes King Leo Bar and Poco Bueno and her sire's side includes greats like Two-eyed Jack, Obvious Conclusion and Impressive. Holly is HYPP double negative. Holly now resides in Appledale with her new owner, Fred Lefebvre. She in foal to VA Manolete's Hijo Amado for a 2014 Azteca foal. Congratulations Fred!

Hope you're having a great week!
That necklace is just beautiful, Geanina. It is dramatic, yet romantic and delicate. And I love your model shots too - such a gorgeous model.ReplyDelete

Now if you are looking for great food, friendly service and a really fun time, Rock House is THE place to be.
The story behind Rock House and its owner, is fantastic. This place is truly a family run business. This family actually has other businesses in the area also. They support each other and work extremely hard. They put their hearts into everything they do and love their community.
Rock House offers some really amazing choices of foods, from burgers to seafood, they've really got it all. I enjoyed a wonderful plateful of shark and chips, the shark is flown in fresh from Hawaii and let me tell you…it was the best I have ever had. Willem had a wonderful burger and salad…this all after we sampled some cheese quesadillas and chili. Later, we were treated to a slice of what may very well be the most decadent triple chocolate cake that exists on this planet!
The staff at Rock House are really wonderful too, all friendly and attentive. We never waited or wanted for anything.
Rock House is set up as a dining bar, they have a stage for karaoke and live bands. There is a gift shop which offers some fantastic souvenirs and collectibles. Then, there is a great lounge.
Karaoke is performed every night of the week. Most days on the main stage in the dining/bar area, but on nights when a live band is performing, they move it to the lounge. This is a place that is always hopping! There is always something fun and exciting going on.
We liked it so much, that we went back the following night. The people were so much fun and the food was just too good not to enjoy again.
When you visit Tybee Island, you really have to be sure to make Rock House one of your stops!

At age 83 I would have excused them for turning me away - not Adventure Abroad. My nerves were quickly put to rest when I saw how organised and serious they were about what they do.

Communicating Sustainability White Paper Study
The Communicating Sustainability Study - Phase II Our latest Market LOHAS Research Study Communicating Sustainability conducted with Ryan Partnership in collaboration with Sustainable Brands revealed that Brands (even 'sustainable' companies & retailers) were holding back on the green message reluctant to communicate their sustainability efforts for fear 'greenwashing' or being perceived as 'jumping on the green band-wagon'. When asked about their motivations for sustainability, most said that it 'was the right thing to do' and agreed that the business case for sustainability was a powerful driver of their corporate sustainability initiatives.
One Green Score for One Earth
The One Green Score for One Earth sustainability research study will be conducted in two phases by Ryan Partnership Chicago and Market LOHAS - Mambo Sprouts Marketing to fully understand consumers' purchasing behaviors of sustainable products and services.
Phase I consisted of an online survey using the MamboTrack panel to better understand 'sustainable' purchase decisions and shopper behavior. MamboTrack was chosen for its position as a leading survey research platform of over 50,000 health and wellness consumers willing to share their opinions and insights about natural and organic products as well as sustainable living.
For the analysis, the 802 MamboTrack survey respondents were segmented into groups and coded as shades of green according to how important sustainability was to their purchase decisions.
What are sustainable shoppers looking for?
Through our market research we sought answers on how to simplify and scale sustainability without losing meaning or relevance. We included a range of consumers in our study representing shades of "green" weighted towards "core" sustainability shoppers. The opinions of this leading edge sustainability segment are shaping current business practices and development as well as the attitudes of mainstream consumers of the near future.
The purpose of these studies was not to create a universal sustainability score, but rather to inspire stakeholders to come together to create it and influence what it might look like.

The Katara Cultural Village will hold a forum for Qatari farmers and provide a building in Katara in support of the country's development process.
General Manager of Katara Cultural Village Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim al-Sulaiti said that the announcement of this initiative comes as a result of the prosperity and transformation of the agricultural sector, which represents a qualitative leap in the national economy, pointing out that this forum will give local farmers the opportunity to meet regularly and consult on agricultural matters and exchange of experiences, commending the achievements of all participants in "Mahaseel Festival II".
He pointed out that the good impact offered by this festival and its activities encourage the production of national companies and local farms.
On Tuesday night, al-Sulaiti honoured the participants from local farms, national companies specialised in agriculture, as well as a number of officials from the Ministry of Municipality and Environment from the Department of Agricultural Affairs, the Department of Public Parks and Livestock Management and a group of agricultural engineers for their supervisory role and logistical support for the success of the festival.
For their part, the participants valued the efforts to support the local product, praising the incentives and facilities provided.
Mahaseel Festival was staged by Katara from 23 to 30 December, 2017, and continued on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays every week until the end of March 2018.
It supported the national products in various sectors, especially agriculture, livestock and food, in order to achieve sustainability in the farm sector, provide self-sufficiency and support food security.

PLANS have been unveiled for key "grass roots" input for the future planning of post-16 education and training in Wales.
The aim is to ensure that schools, colleges, training providers, businesses, councils, trade unions and others are able to influence the kind of learning provided in their local areas.
Their recommendations each year will respond to Elwa's regional and all Wales priorities in order to create what it is intended, eventually, to become the most streamlined and responsive learning system in the UK.
The new system was outlined by Sheila Drury, chairman of Elwa, the body responsible for planning and funding all post-16 education outside higher education.
She presented the plans to the chairmen of Wales' 21 Community Consortia for Education and Training (CCETs), the local bodies made up of representatives from all key groups with an interest in the learning system in each part of Wales.
Under the new planning system it is proposed that Elwa will consult extensively with CCETs and other key local organisations to receive information about conditions on the ground.
Putting this together with its own extensive research and input from industry's Sector Skills Councils and Elwa regional committees, it will create Regional Statements of Needs and Priorities each year.
These documents will set out the strategic priorities for learning in the four regions of Wales.
CCETs will then make recommendations on how local learning provision can be made more effective and efficient in line with regional and national priorities. This will guide Elwa's planning and funding decisions.
To support this vital planning role, Elwa is assigning a senior manager and providing administrative support to each CCET.
Mrs Drury said, "This is a very progressive and inclusive approach which takes on board the expertise, experience and opinions of people at all levels when we make important decisions on change in the post-16 learning system.
"We are marrying grass roots knowledge about conditions on the ground with a broader view of Wales' learning priorities in order to come up with the best solutions for individuals, businesses and communities in Wales."

Is there nothing we can do for ADHD pupils other than give them Ritalin?
The issue of how to handle ADHD pupils and students is getting ever more complicated.
Last year it was revealed that people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who are involved in crime are less likely to reoffend when on treatment than not, a Swedish study shows. In August 2013 it was revealed that there has been a 50% rise in the use of drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in six years.
The Care Quality Commission expressed concern about this level of use.
Reflecting on the figures, consultant psychiatrist Professor Tim Kendall, who has compiled national guidelines on treating ADHD, said on Radio 4 that there are real dangers to people who take ADHD drugs over a long period.
Professor Kendall observed that, "If you take Ritalin for a year, it's likely to reduce your growth by about three-quarters of an inch…. There's also increasing evidence that it precipitates self-harming behaviour in children and in the long term we have absolutely no evidence that the use of Ritalin reduces the long-term problems associated with ADHD."
However there are alternative ways of dealing with ADHD children, which is why Helping ADHD pupils and students through school was written.
It is a volume that explores recent research and then sets out in great detail exactly how ADHD pupils can be helped and supported in their day to day activities within the school without the use of drugs.
A fundamental view of the book is that the best approach for any ADHD child is one in which the parents and school can work together with a common purpose to help the young person – and with this in mind there is a substantial section of material at the end of the book that can be copied and passed on to parents.
This parental section contains both explanations, and practical approaches to dealing with the ADHD child at home.
Of course we all recognise that not every ADHD child's parents will be able to work in the organised and controlled manner that will help ADHD pupils and students, and therefore we work within the school-based sections, from the basis that although parental support is ideal, it doesn't always happen.
What is essential is that everyone who deals with an ADHD young person understands what ADHD is, how to distinguish it from other forms of excessive behaviour, and how to work positively with these young people for their benefit, without disturbing the rest of the school.
The book looks at individual behaviour, plus issues such as rewards, punishments, handling special days when behaviour may be exacerbated, overcoming impulsiveness, homework, where ADHD people can succeed and do well, ADHD and responsibility, and sport, the arts and other activities.
Helping ADHD pupils and students through school by Tony Attwood is available as a photocopiable book or on CD Rom which can itself be copied or loaded onto the school's learning platform or intranet.

Mother's Day in the UK
70 comments:
What a beautiful picture for Mother's Day, Rosemary. Your mother was lovely, and I am so sorry she was lost to you at this young age. The pink flowers touch my heart too. I have been thinking about breast cancer because this month it is three years since I had my three breast cancer surgeries. Three years survival is good! All the best to you, and I hope you have a beautiful Mother's Day filled with family love. xoReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Patricia - my mother actually died as a result of the treatment she received. There was no chemotherapy then, and the radiation was very unsophisticated. Today, as I am sure you will be aware, radiation can be pinpointed extremely accurately to an exact spot, my mothers whole righthand side was treated which seriously damaged her lung and it then collapsed. I am convinced that she would have lived a normal life span today.Delete
We are so fortunate today that medicine has moved on so much - we know that H would not be alive today if it had not been for MRI scanners.
What a lovely comment I am so pleased that you could share your lovely mum's memory- Mine did get to be an old lady of almost 87, and did share in all those moments, but we still miss her like crazy and days like today, even more. Mums are so precious, we must always let them know how we feel and I AM sure that you did ** . take care and have a hug for yourself..ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Janzi - what a lovely comment - thank you.Delete
My own sons were very young when my mother died, and I do regret the fact that she missed out knowing them - their memories of her are very limited too. It makes me appreciate and realise how very fortunate I have been in comparison to know my own grandchildren and share in their growing up.
Happy Mother's Day Rosemary...your mum was a lovely looking person...most of wish our mums were still with us...:)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Margaret - you are right of course♡Delete
What a nice tribute to your mother, sad she died so young. Medical science is improving to cure some diseases but sadly to late for your mother. I was surprised to read you had mother's day today. Here it is always in May, so it is not international the same day I suppose.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello - it is strange that the date is not universal around the world. It mainly seems to be either March or May for some unknown reason to me.Delete
We are very fortunate that medical science continues to improve many of our lives today.
What a very poised and pretty child she was. I remember my mother too, today She died just over 2 years ago.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Jenny - the loss of your mother must still be very raw for you.Delete
It is a lovely photo of my mother and one that I cherish.
Hello Rosemary, Your mother looks intelligent and determined in that photograph, in addition to beautiful. Unfortunately, medical crisis is no respecter of persons. How you must miss her when her memory comes up.ReplyDelete
I am more than 10 years older than my mother when she died, and it is now that it has dawned on me just how much she missed out.Delete
Dear Rosemary, so sorry that your mother had to die so young! She looks very, very lovely! And the Helleborus in their sombre but utterly beautiful way are a very proper gift.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Britta - I agree with you that the Helleborus are a very appropriate flower. When picked as I have done here their life is fleeting, but they will last longer by dipping the stems in boiling water for 20 seconds and then plunging them into cold water.Delete
Dear Rosemary, How sad that your Mother died so young. Your tribute to her is very touching and beautiful.ReplyDelete
Happy Mother's Day.Replies
Dear Gina - there are so many moments that I would have loved her to be involved in and share, but it was not to be.Delete
Yes, she was carried off much too young. The photo of her as a girl is so charming. Happy Mother's Day!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Debra - I have always like this photo and it feels as if she is really looking straight at you.Delete
Happy Mother's Day to you dear Rosemary , what a lovely photo of her as a young girl. I think loosing a mother is always too early. xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Jane and I wish the same for you. I love this photo, we used to have an oil painting done when she was about the same age, but I have no idea what happened to it.Delete
It must be a day of mixed feelings for you Rosemary. It certainly is for me, the first year without a mum. I am just trying to look back and remember the good times.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear jessica - it must be difficult for you, I know that it is only a short time ago that you lost your mother.Delete
Your words touched my heart and brough a tear to my eyes.I'm sure mom's hug and blessings long after she lets go. I lost my father this way, I mean he never became an old man or knew his grandchildren either.He had lung cancer in his late fifties...ReplyDelete
Sending you my sweetest thoughts
Dear Olympia - I understand how you feel loosing your father before he was acquainted with his grandchildren. It now makes me appreciate that I am so fortunate in comparison with my mother.Delete
Such a beautiful photo of your mother Rosemary - so sorry she was taken much too soon and know she has been missed for a long time. On this date my dear mother died, 12 years ago, fortunate perhaps to make 91, although the later years were not really good for her. I went home to visit knowing she was failing - I saw her just the afternoon I arrived from the US, and was shocked when she passed early the next morning!ReplyDelete
So today we Brits all miss our dear mothers no longer with us - hopefully those who still can hug their mum are doing so on this special day.
Your flower pics are truly lovely for today.
Love, MaryReplies
Dear Mary - our mothers must have been born at around the same time. You were fortunate to have her for so much longer, but I am pleased to learn that you managed to fly over and see her before she died - it sounds as if she was hanging on until you arrived.Delete
Thank you for the comment regarding the flowers.
Happy Mother's Day to you dear Rosemary !ReplyDelete
How sad your mother died so young.
My mother died from canser three years ago and i miss her every day.
Happy day to you too Dimi - I am sorry that you lost your mother too - Cancer is such a terrible disease, but I do believe that every year the medical advances are substantial.Delete
This is also the story off my mother...same illness...same age...(56)ReplyDelete
On specials day's it is always difficult...also it is 25 years ago.
Beautiful photo's foto's for this special day.
Inge, my choiceReplies
I know how you feel Inge - your mother too will be forever young.Delete
I am pleased that you enjoyed seeing the photos - thank you♡
A sad story Rosemary. For you to loose your mother when she was so young.ReplyDelete
My mother too lost her mother.. my maternal grandmother, when she was 12.
Such a beautiful photo of her.
Happy mothers day to you
love val xxReplies
That would be a terrible tragedy for your mother, she was only a young girl. At least I had my mother until my two sons were born. I just feel that she was denied so much in comparison with the pleasures that I have had in watching my grandchildren grow and start to become young adults.Delete
I'm so sorry for your mother, Rosemary. It's sad that she couldn't see her grandchildren growing and passed away so early. Beautifu pictures. I love your Helleborus. Happy Mothers' Day to you, Rosemary.ReplyDeleteReplies
The Helleborous are very good this spring Satu - my mother had a good life, it was just unfortunate that she died too early.Delete
Dear Rosemary - Your mother was lovely, and I can imagine that the image you've shared is a treasured possession. I'm glad you can and do enjoy your very gifted children and grandchildren.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Mark - I do cherish the photo very much Mark, I like the way she looks straight out at you as if she know that you are there. In comparison, I am very fortunate.Delete
Beautiful flowers and a beautiful verse.ReplyDelete
Like you I too have been having special thoughts today about my dear mum.
It's special being a mum, it's special to have Mothers Day memories .... remember good times
All the best JanReplies
Thanks Jan - I am pleased that you were thinking about your own dear mother too.Delete
Hi Rosemary....ReplyDelete
Love the pic of your Mom when she was young.....
Those Hellebores are gorgeous!
Happy Mother's Day!
Linda :o)Replies
Glad that you are safely returned from Florida Linda. My brother had his vehicle back ended by a truck as he turned off the highway for Anna Maria Island, he is now spending a lot of time trying to get the insurance sorted before they return back to Canada at the end of March.Delete
Oh dear....bad luck!Delete
That is just south of where we stay!
Now my SiL has fallen off her bike and broken her arm.Delete
Dear Rosemary,ReplyDelete
A Happy Mother's Day. Sorry your beautiful mother left this world too soon. Love those hellebores
I recall when I first lived in Canada and send a Mother's Day card to my mum in Ireland in May. (US and Canada date). It arrived, in her mind, two months late or ten months early.
Wishing you a great week
Helen xxReplies
The Hellebores are lovely this year, the lack of snow seems to have suited them. It is very strange the way we don't have a universal Mother's Day, but I think that the one in the USA was first and we followed later.Delete
Dear Rosemary,ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful photo of your dear Mother and so sorry for you, that she was taken so young.
Hope you had a happy Mothers day - here in NZ we celebrate Mothers day in May.
The Hellebores are so pretty.
Have a great week
Hello Carolyn - I am very fond of this photo of my mother, and I am pleased that I have it.Delete
The Hellebores are lovely this spring. Thank you for your kind comment.
This is really beautiful memory to your mother.ReplyDelete
We spend this day in May.
Thank you Orvokki - it appears that most countries, apart from us, celebrate in May.Delete
Dear Rosemary - Sorry to hear about your mother passed away so young in her fifties. She's such a lovely girl and I imagined how attractive she was in her later years. Enjoy your time with your children and grandchildren enough and her share, too. The past pleasant memory of your mother is full grown when remembered. She'll be smiling to be remembered in such a nice way. Hellebores are beautiful in my garden, too. I like the way how you displayed them. Belated Happy Mother's Day! In my country, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May.ReplyDelete
Thank you for you kind comment Yoko - I decided to pick a few Hellebores because they are quite difficult to photograph with their heads nodding downwards and I now have their heads floating in a bowl. I like the way you say that I should enjoy my mother's share too, that is an excellent piece of advice that I shall remember.Delete
What a pretty young lady she was. I cherish old photos and I am sure you do too. Happy Mother day to you.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am fortunate that I have quite a few lovely old photos which I do cherish like you. Thank you for your kind wishes.Delete
Dear Rosemary- What a beautiful tribute to your mother! Was she fond of hellebores? We just came home from England. Enjoyed seeing all the daffodils, snowdrops, primroses and hellebores. It's still winter here in DC, although today is lovely. CheersReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Loi - I am pleased that you have had a safe trip, and hope that you enjoyed some sunny days. I am sure that spring will soon be with you too, once it begins there is not stopping it.Delete
Do you know I can't recall whether or not my mother liked Hellebores, but surely she must have done, everyone does - don't they?
A beautiful portrait of your mother Rosemary. Cancer made so many still young victims....The hellebores you have in your garden look beautiful!ReplyDelete
Have a good week!
Thank you Madelief - I am very fond of this photo of my mother and pleased that I have it. The Hellebores this year are really lovely may be because we had no snow.Delete
How happy are we who loved our mothers! How lucky are we who love being mothers and how sad that it sometimes doesn't work out this way. Treasure those memories, Rosemary.ReplyDelete
A beautiful tribute to your mother, Rosemary. As a two-time survivor of breast cancer myself, I'm so sorry that she died before the wonderful advances in treatment were made. Treatment back then was radical and brutal and I was sad to read in your reply to Patricia that your mother actually succumbed to the effect of treatment. Mother's Day is very bitter-sweet to those of us who lost our mothers too soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Perpetua - When she died my two sons were young, and I was sad that she would not have a relationship with them. As I have grown older I have realised more and more just how much she actually missed not seeing all her grandchildren grow up. It has made me appreciate how fortunate I have been in comparison to see my grandchildren develop and become young adults.Delete
I do sympathise, Rosemary, as I've thought the same thing many times over the years since my parents and father-in-law died.within 5 years of each other. They didn't even see all their grandchildren born, let alone grow up and would have been so proud of their achievements and the great-grandchildren who so delight my very elderly mother-in-law.Delete
It was the same for my mother Perpetua - three of her grandchildren were born several years after she had died.Delete
Oh Rosemary, what a beautiful photo of your mother. I have a few similar photos of my mother - it looks like they were in the same era. I'm so grateful medicine has advanced from those times - the medicos did what they thought was right at the time - sadly the consequences were not always what we hoped. I'm so sorry you lost your mother - she was far too young.ReplyDelete
I miss my mother who lived to well in her eighties - no one can ever replace our precious mothers.
Spring is evident in your garden - such exquisite hellebores in lovely colours. I have a few in my garden, they are such good value and just go on and on!
Take care
Shane xReplies
Dear Shane - my mother was born in 1911, and I think that she must have been about 12/13 when this photo was taken. I like it very much, it gives me the impression that she is actually looking out at the viewer.Delete
I have a lot of hellebores in the garden, but they will hang their heads and make photographs difficult. I now have just the heads from these floating in a bowl and they have lasted very well.
Thank you for your kind comment.
And my mother was born in October 1910, she was one of seven girls and one boy who came in the middle and was very spoilt by them all!!Delete
I imagine you and I could be of a similar age too!
That is interesting - my mother just scrapped into 1911 as she was an October baby - what a long time ago that was, and I guess you could be right about our ages.Delete
A beautiful photo Rosemary. My mother died at 51, so I understand, completely, the frustration , sadness and sometimes anger, at not having had the years with her that I would have wanted. The hellebores are gorgeous too....mine have made an appearance in the Hebden Bridge garden.... I thought they were later than usual, but maybe I'm just not remembering things right ! JxReplyDeleteReplies
I do recall you saying that you lost your mother in her early 50s Janice. In some ways as I get older it saddens me even more realising just how much my mother actually missed out on especially compared with my life.Delete
I think that you are right about the flowers Janice - although the winter wasn't harsh, no snow here in my corner of the world at all, I think that all of the flowers are a little later too.
A beautiful photo of your mother Rosemary...a very sad post and I understand you so much. I miss my mother so much too...ReplyDelete
Warm hug,
Thank you Titti - our mothers are so special to us♡Delete

text:
A latte addict born in Thailand but raised in Nebraska (FOREVER A CORNHUSKER). Called Georgia home for more than a decade but now Orange County is my home. My goals are to explore and wander the world. My small brain exudes of imagination so much that sometimes I make my own head hurt. I love to know a little about everything and when something captures my attention, it becomes my obsession. I call myself a modern day gypsy, I don't like to be in one place for too long. I want to live freely by my own terms but still co-exist in our great society, if that's even possible.
I'm a believer of self love before you can love others, I think vampires and werewolves exist (Twihard for life), coffee rules the world, and I want to make a difference somehow and leave a positive mark on earth before my time is up. If I seem a little quirky, it's cause I find that necessary in living a happy and positive life.
My willingness to live freely let loose a side that was hidden in me. Hence, calling the inner photographer in me that wants to capture the definition of beauty in my eyes. I picked up a camera in 2010 while living in Atlanta, GA. Sucking horribly at it, but never giving up, but my self-competitiveness wouldn't let me put the camera down. As I practiced more and more, my style changed constantly as I grew and matured. But one thing was sure, with every session I did - a feeling of solitude had overcame me as I would look through the images. I saw laughter, gestures, emotions frozen in time. This made me see life in a different way. One amazing photo could evoke so much emotion. That is what I would like to strive for.
I hope my natural light approach is personable, nostalgic, and to your liking. If you're looking for that "fine art", bright light, every picture perfect photographer - I'm not it. I want to capture you in your natural state. In your own element (so please invite me to your home or that secret place). I develop a rapport with all my clients and one of the biggest gratitude is when they come back for future session because they were satisfied with the last ones.
