Analysis of Millwall vs Leeds United
Leeds fell to their first defeat of the season at The Den on Saturday afternoon.
The league leaders came into the game top of the table, having won every away game and only having kept six clean sheets in a row. However, on Saturday afternoon that all came to an end and they were brought back down to earth with a bump. I am going to explain where it all went wrong for the Whites.
One huge factor when you go to play football at tThe Den is the home crowd. When they get going it can be very hard for the away team and trust me they were up for it this game. Leeds at home is one of their biggest games, their biggest rivals outside of London and one the fans love to have the bragging rights for. Leeds striker, Kemar Roofe, has since come out and said that the crowd 'were massive' on Saturday and his team could not deal with it.
Leeds were guilty of underestimating their opponents at the weekend. They looked at the table and the results so far and thought we can win this without producing a sweat. Wrong! They should have been prepared for the hostile reception and they weren't. They also weren't prepared for the impressive Jed Wallace. He tore Vurnon Anita to shreds through the whole game getting down that right ring and producing some great crosses and shooting from range as well.
They had no plan b. Plan a has worked so well for them so far this season and they have not had to switch to plan b and the performance on Saturday showed that they had been worked out and they had no answer to the pace and precision of Millwall's attacking play. Leeds like to play the ball into their playmaker Saiz as he is a key to them creating chances and that just didn't happen on Saturday. Millwall's two central midfielders George Saville and Shaun Williams mastered the defence really well not allowing the ball to get to Saiz, therefore, the chances created by Leeds were minimal and on the end the reason they lost the game.

i kept seeing this new wine cellar every time i went shopping on 59 {hence the fun play on their name}. the outside enticed me but i hadn't known anyone who had tried it. i kept asking about it and finally, today, i had a chance to try it out. and boy was i not let down.
i'm not sure if it was the beautiful dark wooden wrap around porch, or the lights hanging from the ceiling but as soon as i walked up the stone steps, i was in love. i'm a sucker for charming places and this place had it.
the atmosphere inside was rustic but classy with a lot of charm to it. maybe it was the beautiful classic staircase or that it actually was an old house {it's a renovated 19th century abandoned farmhouse}, it feels so "home-y" inside.
and the wine and food.
oh, the wine and food.
i had just taken some medicine about fifteen minutes before so i couldn't order a glass {i had sparkling water instead} but that didn't keep me from sipping on my mom's.
my mom ordered the incognito white which was a blended white wine. it was so good and you could taste just a hint of papaya. so many of their wines sounded good and i can't wait to taste them! on top of an impressive wine list, they also have craft beers and mixed drinks.
because we hadn't had lunch yet, we ordered one of their plates of food. we got their olive plate which included thinly sliced bread with a baguette type crust, an olive spread and two smaller bowls of assorted olives and peppers. it was more than enough for the two of us but i can easily see it being split between four.
^^^ their olive spread on the bread. AHHHmazing.
we didn't get any, but their desserts are made locally, which, in my opinion is a smart idea for any newer business. i think it offers a flare that many others like it don't have.
another thing that grabbed my attention (aside from the friendly service) was the events they have and how there are certain days of the week that are designated to something different.
here's a list of the days and the specials they offer:
tuesdays: retail wine prices. they sell at least 100 different bottles of wine there, all featured from different countries and categorized accordingly. because they do this, they do charge an extra fee, however, on tuesdays, they don't.
wednesday: ladies day. each glass of wine was only $5-6.
fridays: flight night and also they will soon be opening up all day tastings.
saturdays: live music. they have a full list on their website through december.
this year on halloween, they are having a release party to celebrate their famous vintage wine, The Prisoner. the event is free and open to anyone who would like to join.
also on november 18th they are having a winter tasting night. the food will be catered by The Bistro and will feature sixteen different wines to choose from. reservations are required and there is a fee per person. sounds like it will be a blast and a great way to start winter and support a local wine bar.
if you live in the stow, oh area, or even further than that {it's worth the drive!} make sure you check it out.
living in ohio, it sometimes feels impossible to find unique and awesome places like cellar 59. they've nailed it, in my opinion, and i can't wait to try more on their delicious menu. especially their mocha porter which sounds out of this world.

Note: I do not sell or recommend Uniden alarm systems or remote controls
I've just checked the Uniden website and they still claim that the VS2600XR is a 5 star alarm approved by the New Zealand Security Association.
This is very misleading as the New Zealand Security Association 5 star rating system was buried on the 1st April 2012 after it was exposed for being a joke!
I've also noted that Uniden refer to the alarm as being the "next generation" which makes it sound like its cutting edge and modern, when in fact it's a horrid old brick!
Sadly the truth is that Uniden "Star rated" alarms are rubbish and normally take me no more then a couple of seconds to defeat.
The video below show how I disarmed the immobiliser on this one without the remote in a matter of seconds:
This is possible because nearly all the Uniden alarms I have come across are still on the default over-ride pin number and the process is exactly the same if the alarm is armed or just the immobiliser is armed as was the case here.
Quite how they got "approved" or who actually did the approval remains a mystery. It simply makes a mockery out of the existing AS/NZS4601 standard for immobilisers!

Handguard bags keep all your bar equipment nice and tidy; they are available in a range of colours so you can buy one to match your Ervy leotard.
The bag is 27cm tall by 20cm wide.
This is our most popular handguard. It is our standard width handguard and uses 1 ½" strap with Velcro to attach the handguard to the wrist. The Velcro strap allows the gymnast to vary the adjustment on the wrist to their desire. In addition, it comes with a removable neoprene insert that helps pad the wrist and prevent wrist irritation. The handguard comes in sizes 00 to 5. This dowel handguard is recommended for gymnasts at any level of competitive gymnastics.
This basic palm handguard is designed for the recreational gymnast. This soft leather, no dowel grip with a velcro strap is designed to protect the palm of the hand. NOTE: Available in 2 different colours.
These are worn underneath the handguards on the wrist. Made in the United Kingdom from 100% pure cotton and woven elastics.
The materials and design ensure a really comfortable secure fit and easily absorbs perspiration unlike synthetic or mixed cotton material wristbands. They wash well, over and over again, so keep them clean and they will last longer!
A skin friendly, strong strapping tape for all situations and recommended for RipGrip:
The best quality most popular sports strapping tape, zinc oxide tape tears easily by hand along its length and width, without requiring scissors, whilst moulding to the contours of the body. Another benefit of this tape is that the zinc oxide adhesive is skin friendly.
The flexibility Stunt Strap is a great stretching and warm-up tool for everyone. Proper stretching can increase flexibility and help reduce the risk of injury.
REISPORT grips are made in Switzerland for many years the most popular in the world of gymnastics.
Popular proven handguard for Uneven Bars or A Bar. Choose Velcro or Buckle fastening. The handguard comes in sizes 000 to 4.
Bar loops are available in a range of sizes; stock sizes are from 23cm to 36cm but typical sizes are often around 28cm. Please ask your coach to size you up.
Manique Bar Loop Gloves (Pair)
They have a wide wrist area for comfort in use. Cotton absorbs moisture and provides a good low friction surface to help train using our bar loops. A better quality glove which has been proven to be preferred by most coaches over garden and magic gloves.
These work beautifully and last really well.

In September of 2010, Omar was travelling with a friend in Northern Iraq. On one particularly hot day, he decided to go for a swim. He dove into the water, hit a rock, and broke his neck at the C5 vertebrae (new window).
"I was like, my life was totally over," he explains. "I jumped motorcycles, I went to the gym every day, I was just a very active person, and all that just stopped."
After the accident, Omar fell into a depression that lasted for five years.
"I never got out, never met with people, I just decided to be inside — absolutely inside. I didn't want anything for five years."
In addition to the accident, Omar lived in fear on a daily basis. Many of his friends and family in Iraq were being kidnapped and killed.
"I was in Iraq. I lived in war, it was dangerous. Without mentioning the accident, life was not easy. I was afraid my brother would get kidnapped," he says.
In October of 2015, Omar and his family immigrated to Canada. But he didn't truly start living his life again until he checked in to the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre (new window) three weeks after he had landed in Canada.
At first he was resistant to their equipment and power wheelchair — he didn't want to use it. But soon, he had an epiphany.
"[This is a] way to start again, there's so many resources to feel alive again," he says. "Then I was like, 'I want to live.'"
And before long, he found a new passion — painting. He had signed up for an art class where he learned that he could do it.
"I always loved art," he explains. "I never dared to try it. Years ago, I signed up for art school, but then I got my accident.
"After a while, I thought there was no way physically [. . .] to do painting before I went to GF Strong."
It came naturally to Omar.
"That was the first time I tried painting all my life," he explains. "I found out I really like it."
Omar now lives on his own, though still close to his family. It's an independence he could only dream of before.
"I want independence," he notes. "I live on my own. That was the dream, that was like a job for me."
When Makers Making Change (new window) called Omar to see if he wanted to test out the LipSync, he said yes. Initially, he saw it as helping them with their research — something he never declines, as he wants to make a difference — rather than the impact it could have on his own life.
But as soon as he tried it, he felt an immediate connection.
"[It's] so easy to use," he says.
"It felt very natural," Omar explains, saying the movement of the mouthpiece and the sip and puff controls were easy to understand. "If I wanted to design something, it'd be exactly like this."
Now, he's using it to pursue his dreams, saying the LipSync is "absolutely" life changing. Having applied to a Communication design (new window) program at BCIT (new window) and Emily Carr University (new window), he needed to take a Business English course at BCIT to upgrade his English.
For his exam, he brought his LipSync.
"I'm a quadriplegic, and I did an exam [by] myself," he explains. "Usually, in my case, there's a scriber or someone assisting me. For me, I did it on my own with this device."
He didn't just pass the course either. He excelled.

The pair met at the Fine Art Academy in Brussels in 2009, where de Prémare completed a Bachelor's Degree in textile design, graduating in 2008, while Beguin—who had previously attained a Bachelor's Degree in painting from the ESA Saint Luc in Liège—graduated with a Master's in textile design in 2009. The designers were united, first and foremost, by their shared passion for weaving; the studio began as a place for collective research that branched into a range of textile objects. Their work is driven by a search for "balance between reminiscence and innovation; purity and enthusiasm; consistency and hazard." NoMoreTwist's custom fabric designs draw inspiration from fine art, historical textile design, nature, and a love of color. The studio pays particular attention to the sensuality of the material - or, as they put it, "the secret link between structures and patterns." Developing different weaves is at the heart of the designers' mission and they often work together, sitting at a giant loom, considering every aspect of a new cloth design from the thickness of the threads to the texture, color, patterns, and above all, the various ways of interlocking and weaving the thread. The resulting fabrics are then highlighted within collections of throws, cushions, and scarves.Alongside their work with NoMoreTwist, the designer duo offer consultancy services and have collaborated with several brands including, notably, Jean-Paul Gaultier Studio. de Prémare has also worked with fashion design studio Mahlia Kent Paris on a collection of woven haute couture. Beguin teaches weaving at MAFAD in Maastricht and ENSAV La Cambre in Brussels, while also working as an assistant for textile and interior designer Cenk Krivrikoglu. NoMoreTwist has a showroom in Brussels and a workshop in Liège. Read More Collapse

First, thanks to PreEmptive for inviting me to do a guest post.
Since you're reading this on preemptive.com, you are already aware and probably concerned with the importance of planning for security in application development. And in this guest blog post, I want to address specifically the security vulnerabilities that legacy applications present to your entire organization.
If the Equifax hack wasn't a wakeup call for your entire appsec team, you're probably headed for an earlier retirement than you might otherwise have planned for.
Applications are under siege. As demonstrated by the recent Equifax breach and many others, hackers leveraged everything from compromised mobile apps to cloud-based vulnerabilities. The result? Enterprise IT teams are recognizing that they're being targeted – particularly their critical apps.
We have just released Dotfuscator Professional 4.31 and it's available for immediate download (both for clients and as a free evaluation).
Dotfuscator Professional 4.31
- Extends its application protection to new development communities for the very first time.
- Support is now available for:
- .NET Core 2.0 (released last week by Microsoft) and
- The Unity game engine. Supported app platforms include PC, Mac, Linux Standalone, Android, and Windows Store (UWP). Supported scripting back-ends include.NET and Mono.
Garbage in, garbage out is shorthand for "incorrect or poor quality data will always produce faulty results."
The "garbage data" vulnerability is especially gnarly in that there is actually no fix – no cure.
The only viable development strategy is one of avoidance.
Applications drive corporate success. As noted by Business 2 Community, the average American smartphone owner uses more than 10 apps per day and spends over three hours per day connected to the Internet via their mobile device. The problem? Rapidly-expanding app markets combined with easy-to-find hacker kits make the current environment a cybercriminal's paradise — according to recent Ponemon data, the average cost of a data breach is around $3.62 million and the size of breaches is trending up. It gets worse: According to Gartner, 99 percent of app vulnerabilities exploited won't rely on new, sophisticated attack vectors, but existing vulnerabilities that infosec pros have seen in the wild for at least a year.
Cyber-attacks, evolving privacy and intellectual property legislation, and ever-increasing regulatory obligations are now simply "the new normal" – and the implications for development organizations are unavoidable; application risk management principles must be incorporated into every phase of the development lifecycle.
Organizations want to work smart – not be naïve – or paranoid. Application risk management is about getting this balance right. How much security is enough? Are you even protecting the right things?
Like so many of us returning from Build 2017, we at PreEmptive are feeling both energized and highly motivated. Energized because of the truly impressive innovation coming out of both Microsoft and our larger ecosystem – and motivated because we can all see the expanding concern around application risk management and data security in this rapidly evolving world – and of course, that is where PreEmptive Solutions comes in.
According to NIST's National Vulnerability Database, six vulnerability categories have grown from 68% to over 84% of the total number of reported vulnerabilities in just the past four years.

Effective Technology for Recycling Metal. Proceedings of Two Special Workshops.
National Association of Secondary Material Industries, Inc., New York, NY.
The National Association of Secondary Material Industries (NASMI) and the Bureau of Mines have cooperated to sponsor two technically-oriented workshops related to the role of metals recycling and air pollution control technology. The proceedings of these workshops, "Effective Technology and Research for Scrap Metal Recycling" and "Air Pollution Control Technology," are presented in this document. Part I is devoted to eighteen formal presentations on both current techniques and problems in recycling nonferrous metals. The workshop served to establish a new liaison between industry and government, one directed at a consumer objective: to maximize the opportunities for metallic solid waste utilization through economically reusable and technically feasible recycling. Four informal sessions on aluminum, precious metals, copper, and lead zinc are also summarized. Part II covers the air pollution workshop, specifically directed to representatives of the secondary metals industry. Presentations by major manufacturers of air pollution control equipment and well-known engineering consultants on air pollution problems are given, followed by questions and answers for each session.

Interactive & customizable sex stories : Create your own erotic fiction
The Massage
Sandra is training to be a masseuse. One day she asks if you'd be willing to let her practice on you. You pretend to be reluctant but you actually feel a surge of excitement in the pit of your stomach. You've always liked Sandra, but you've never gone further than a kiss on the cheek. Now she's going to rub her hands all over your body!
You feel a flutter of nerves as you press the doorbell. It's like a first date! Sandra answers the door and welcomes you in. She seems genuinely happy to see you and grateful that you could help out.
As usual, she's made an effort to look nice. Her blonde hair is nicely styled and she has just enough makeup to enhance her natural good looks. Today she is wearing a short yellow summer dress with a plunging neckline and no outward signs of a bra underneath. It really shows off her slim but curvy figure.
She leads you into the spare bedroom. Walking behind her, you notice that her legs look amazing in high heels and you catch the sweet scent of her perfume.
There is a massage table in the room and Sandra bends forward to adjust some towels over it. In doing so, she unwittingly gives you a nice view of her dangling breasts.
Sandra leaves you to strip down to your underpants and lay face-down on the table. Eventually she returns with a bottle of warm massage oil.
The massage begins and you both make small talk. It soon becomes apparent that Sandra's technique needs work. It feels more like groping and stroking than a proper massage, but she is unaware of this. As you lie there, being oiled and fondled by Sandra, you start wondering what she looks like naked. Occasionally her hip or stomach presses against your hand. Before long, you have a raging erection. Luckily Sandra can't see it because you are face down.
"Okay, turn over now and I'll do your front" says Sandra.

The idea that someone can make important choices such as deciding to enlist or vote or have sex or start your career before you're fully capable of understanding and/or doing these things isn't fair to them.
While I agree that developmentally, we do not mature until around age twenty-five or later (can't refute scientific facts), and I agree that some decisions are more sound when made in the late 20's-30's of life, I feel as though it is ridiculous to change the age of legal adulthood. Your argument raises a lot of questions. If the age of adulthood were to be raised, would this change the post-secondary schooling system? How does this affect those who decide to not attend a post-secondary institution? Would ALL of the rights you gain at eighteen be moved to twenty-five? Your instigation also only sites the psychological argument; but what about the effect it would have on society, and the way we view "young adults" today? Eighteen was chosen for a reason, and there are many significant events that revolve around the age. There are multiple reasons why around eighteen has been chosen as the general "age of consent" internationally.
A lot of it has roots in our education system. Age eighteen usually falls during an adolescent's senior year of high school, and the beginning of their college freshman year. Making the age of adulthood twenty five would prohibit much of the choices made in these crucial years. For example, the decision to enlist in the military is traditionally made in one's senior year; if the age of enlisting were to be twenty five, students who may enlist in the military, and then get educational benefits would have to wait seven years to do so, wasting valuable time in a job they may not enjoy, or staying home with parents while they could be out making change in the world.
This leads to another downfall of raising the age of legal adulthood. If the secondary and post-secondary education systems were to remain the same, students would graduate at age eighteen, and then attend college still as a legal minor; not allowing them to live in off-campus housing, making internships more difficult to apply for, and other important life decisions to be put off because they are still technically under the care of their parents. And if they only go to school for their bachelors degree, they return home to wait three more years until they can move out and get the entry-level jobs available now to recent college graduates. The wait is worse for those who cannot/do not attend a post-secondary institution. Seven years of waiting after high school, still living with your parents, while trying to get jobs is not what most parents, and most in their late teens/early twenties want to hear.
Voting is even more important. High school is usually the time when one"s political atmosphere and attitude are developed. Age 18-25 is considered a valuable block of voting demographic for most politicians. In fact, according to Pew Research Center, this year, it is projected that millennial voter turnout will surpass the baby boomers, and Generation X is well on its way to surpassing them as well. While this block of voters typically votes more liberally, and may be seen as "not experienced enough to know about politics", they still have political opinions that should be heard.
Sexual maturation is an entirely different story. With most human males reaching sexual maturity at age 12-14, and females at 12-13 years of age. While I personally disagree in most cases of criminalizing underage sex (minus cases of sexual assault and rape), moving the age of consent, with the rest of the rights gained at eighteen (depending on what state you live in) is unethical and pointless-- Adolescents have been engaging in sexual intercourse before the age of consent for as long as there has been a law about; whether we like it or not.
Psychologists can tout the "age of mental maturity" all they want; the fact of the matter is, there are too many downfalls to making young adults wait until a quarter of the way through their lives to gain adult rights, and make important decisions. If you think sixteen and seventeen-year-olds are impatient to be adults as is, imagine if they had to wait even longer.
Sources: http://www.pewresearch.org...
I agree with you that there'd be a lot of issues to with schooling to sort out. There'd have to be a serious change with colleges and high schools. But we're already working for a serious change with them, we've become a little wiser to how the elm, middle, and high school systems are flawed and are working to fix that, so now would be a perfect time to work on such a thing. Or maybe add a new school for people these ages that teaches them stuff like how to taxes and understanding how to buy/rent a house.
Assuming by young adult you mean 18-30 and not teenagers who want to make out with vampires, I think society's views would be in favor of this change. We view young adults as idiots who have no idea what they're doing. Going back to my idea of a school to teach you how to be an adult, we could make ages 18-25 be viewed as a time to finish growing rather than a time when everything you do will be a regret.
The decision to enlist in the military should not be taken lightly, as for any decision that could possible lead to death. That's all there is to it. The 18 year olds enlisting tend to have a particular mindset about war that isn't a good thing. To quote my older brother, they're "Excited to go kill some sand niggers and get tattoos."
So, why don't minors as they're defined now get a say in political matters? Because they're usually not mature enough yet to make decisions about politics. The only difference between my view and the current way is the age people are considered mature enough to vote, one being based off a fact and the other being based off, I don't know honestly.
You know why the age of consent is around 18? Because women tend to finish puberty between the ages of 16 and 18 and men between 18 and 20. What you're thinking of is they being puberty around the age of ten. starting puberty does not mean you're physically mature all of a sudden. I'm sorry children, but you're not physically ready for sex before then. And you aren't ready for the mental and emotional side to it even then. You're thinking with your hormones still, not your brain. Honestly to allow children to get themselves into situations where they're forced with deciding between an abortion or raising a child or putting the kid up for adoption, or letting them be faced with dealing with an STD, or deciding whether or not they should say yes to that boy's marriage proposal he made during orgasm just isn't good parenting. There's also the fact people who wait to have sex till a little later in life than their teens tend to be happier in their relationships.
In short, a lot of changes would have to be made, but most of them are for the better.

A water main ruptured late this afternoon along Scenic Drive, disrupting the evening commute.
The line broke around 5 p.m. and dumped thousands of gallons of water, which flowed into the backyard of a home.
The break occurred in the 2000 block of Scenic, opposite the Save Mart shopping center near where Scenic intersects with Oakdale Road to the north and El Vista Avenue to the south.
Modesto police and firefighters were at the scene as crews worked to stop the leak. Traffic on eastbound Scenic Drive was reduced to one lane, but westbound Scenic was moving normally.

The town of Nilambur is famous for the Nilambur Vettekkoru Makan Paattu held every year in the Nilambur Kovilakom temple. Nilambur is also home to the oldest teak plantation in the world, called Conolly's plot. It is claimed that the world's tallest or biggest teak tree is in the Nilambur Teak Preserve. Nilambur is also famous for its bamboos. The word Nilambur means place of Nilimba (Sanskrit word for Bamboo).
Regarded as the first of its kind in the world and the only one in India; it is a house to the treasures of historical, aesthetic and scientific aspects of Teak. The museum was established on the campus of the sub centre of Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) in 1995.The museum was established here owing to the historical significance of the region. The worlds first teak (Tectona grandis) plantation was raised in Nilambur way back in the 1840s in order to ensure a steady supply of Teak timber to the British.
The ground floor of the double-storied museum exhibits a translite of Kannimara Teak, the oldest naturally growing teak tree located at the Parambikulam wild-life sanctuary and the life-size replica of the trunk of the largest known teak tree growing in the Malayattoor forest division. Another translite of a giant tree present in the oldest teak plantation in the Conollys Plot at Nilambur offers the visitors a glimpse into the teak plantation activities undertaken 160 years ago. Some of the other added attractions are the traditional granary and a miniature model of sailing vessel called Uru made of teak wood.
The extensive root system of a 55-year-old teak tree exhibited in the portico for welcoming the tourists is itself metaphorical of the past, present and future of the museum.
Here, one can also find the large stump of a 480-year-old teak tree brought from Nagarampara forest range in Kottayam division.
The 800-metre long bio-resources nature trail on the museum campus is, indeed, an interesting one. This nature trail passes through a heavy growth of shrubs, trees and bamboos. One can also find the different species of birds and reptiles here. There are 50 naturally grown tree species and 136 endangered and near-extinct tree species of the Western Ghats planted in this nature trail. About 58 species of birds, both resident and migratory, has been recorded in this area. A medicinal plant garden consisting of 150 species is also another attraction worth seeing.
A collection of bamboo trees on the way to the museum imparts a special beauty to the place.
Other Attractions:
Nedumkayam (18 km from Nilambur town) in the Nilambur reserve forest, where one can have a close look at the elephant camp run by the forest department. It is noted specially for its rich rain forests. One has to get prior permission from the Forest Department to enter the forest zone. Heavy restrictions are imposed as a measure to save the existing forest land. An elephant taming center is also here. The place Nilambur including Nedumkayam is selected for developing as Kerala's second eco - tourism destination.
Adyan Para waterfalls situated a few kilometers away on the other side of the Chaliyar river.
Manjeeri Colony is a colony built by government for 'Cholanayikkas' - one of the ancient tribals of human race, still many living in caves in deep forest away from civilisation.
Elephant Training Centre is where elephants poached from the forests were trained. Huge wooden cages can still be seen though poaching has been banned.
Banglavu Kunnu (Bungalow Hill) is famous for its winding road where ayurvedic herbs are planted on both the sides of the officers' cottages(which are now used as forest range offices).
T.K.Colony situated a few kilometers away from pookkottumpadam. The wild beauty of amarambalam reserve forest.
Vanyiambalm12 kilometers away from Nilambur. Here is a famous temple called Banasura, situated on a huge rock, covering 40 acres land and with propostional height beside Shornur-Nilambur railway line.
How to Reach there:
Train Service is available regularly from Nilambur to Palghat junction or to Shornur junction.
Bus services are also available at all time. Approaximate distance in Km from different town is:

It's time for you to benefit from Dr B's 30+ years of expertise if Executive Function Deficits are limiting your life options!
Getting to know you and learning about your dreams, gifts and challenges is exciting to me. I love resolving challenges and clearing a path forward for dreams to come true.
It takes work and commitment on your part, and I'm here 6 days a week to support your efforts. You are definitely NOT alone in this program.
So bring your dreams and let's build a strong foundation under them so they can be realized and achieved. There's transformation happening inside this program every day. I'd love to help facilitate yours.
My students tell it like it is, so take some time to read and seriously consider what some students have graciously shared here about their experience in the program thus far & whether you want this experience too.
Let's talk & find out if ADDventures in Achievement is right for you. If it is, I will be honored to work with you. Please complete the form to the right, and you'll hear from me by phone or Skype within 24-48 hours (except when I'm offline during my Sabbath, Friday - Saturday sundown).
If you've attended workshops in the past, understood the information while you were there and felt lost once you left, that was most likely "state-based learning" at play.
I've closed that gap by hosting "working workshops" where we do the work together during the workshop, and have experiences that lay the foundation for you to be able to continue practicing newly learned skills and strategies after the live event with greater confidence, since you've already done it once. You aren't starting from scratch or on your own.
In fact, you can attend the live event and work on or off video and come back during the live event to get help if you get stuck. And since you've made the time commitment to be at the live event, why not use that time to experientially learn rather than intellectually learn and struggle after. The hardest part of doing something new can be "getting started" and you have the opportunity to "get started" together.
All Workshops are recorded for replay and posted in member portal archives.
If you've ever tried to explain your challenges to a friend or family member, only to be met with frustration or disbelief on their part, it probably doesn't feel good.
One of the guiding principles of this community is that it must remain a judgment-free, safe and supportive space where you can "be yourself" and be accepted "as you are" each time you show up. You are constantly changing and evolving, and the purpose of these coaching calls is to answer your questions and support your growth with love and acceptance.
You can show up for these weekly coaching calls, and only stay 5 or 10 minutes to get what you need, or stay for the entire call; it's up to you. From my recovery work in CoDA I learned that I need to keep my eyes on myself and what I am doing, rather than what others might think about what I am doing. You will have the opportunity to learn more about yourself, your needs, and how to meet them so you can live as your best self.
All Calls are recorded for replay and posted in the member portal archives.
If you've ever wished that someone was available to you 24/7 to answer your questions or help you when you get stuck, this is pretty close because I'm your "coach-on-call" 6 days/week.
I created a separate portal and connected it to our membership site to ensure the confidentiality and privacy that I feel the growth we are undertaking requires. The only people in the Forum are those in the AIA program; people you have gotten to know and feel comfortable with. Plus, members are often there generously helping one another with resources.
There are sub-forums for daily or weekly accountability, brain dumps, celebration of your wins, reaching out for support on a specific challenge, as well as posting your takeaways from our working workshops and coaching calls. You can also participate in dialogue and growth with Dr B via her 5-step process to move you from stuck to unstoppable. Point is, use whatever you find of value to you on your journey.
Notifications are auto-generated whenever you post or respond.
Are you ready to benefit from Dr B's 30+ years of expertise and all this time together over the next 3 months?

HANS SNOOK, the founding chief executive of Orange, is to stand down from the mobile phone company early next year to spend more time pursuing personal interests in alternative medicine.
The Orange boss denied that he had had a bust-up with France Telecom, the company that acquired Orange for £25.1 billion in May. Mr Snook will remain as a "special adviser" to the company's board, and be replaced as chief executive by Jean-Franois Pontal from France Telecom once Orange is relisted in February or March next year.
Mr Snook, 52, said: "If I had stayed on in an executive role beyond the flotation, it would have been reasonable to expect me to stay on another three, four or five years. I couldn't commit to that on a personal basis because there are alternative therapies, homeopathy and nutritional treatments that I need time to learn more about."
France Telecom's executive chairman, Michel Bon, said that he was disappointed but added: "I do not feel I am losing out. He is free to deal with the things he is good at - vision and branding. Anyway, all the rest of Orange is here, and the company is strong enough to go on beyond this." Mr Snook's departure became inevitable once the French government refused to waive an £8 billion capital gains tax bill on the company, which will combine France Telecom's and Orange's original mobile holdings.
In the summer, Mr Snook said he wanted to take on a non-executive role, and he was originally earmarked to become chairman. However, this had assumed that Orange would be legally incorporated as a British company, in which the role of non-executive chairman is normal. During the autumn, it emerged that if France Telecom wanted to transfer its own mobile interests across the Channel, it would be charged the £8 billion.
This means that while Orange will be headquartered and run from London, its legal home will remain in France. French law also requires that a chairman is a full time executive - making the job unacceptable to Mr Snook.
A minority stake, expected to be 15pc, of Orange will be floated in February or March. The company's value is currently estimated at between Eu75 billion (£45 billion) and Eu100 billion - a sharp drop since France Telecom's acquisition. At that time, the enlarged Orange was valued at between Eu100 billion and Eu150 billion. Orange's primary share listing will be in Paris, with a secondary listing in London. The company will account in euros, but its London shares are expected to be denominated in sterling and investors will be able to receive dividends in sterling.
It is not clear how much time Mr Snook will spend advising the Orange management. Mr Snook said that there was "no long contract" detailing how many hours he would spend with the company, although he added that he did not intend to act as a corporate advisor to any other related company.
France Telecom also unveiled the rest of the new company's management structure, combining French executives with existing Orange staff. Deputy chief executive and chief financial officer Graham Howe will retain his role in the new group.
Mr Snook's departure will end an eight-year reign, which has seen him take the group from a little-known subsidary of Hong Kong trading conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa to Europe's second largest mobile phone group.

People who want to study deeper in some specific area go to university. To study efficiently, it is very important to choose University that he or she is fit for. However, Korean students cannot choose University freely. Although there are a lot of Universities in other countries, most of the Korean students cannot apply for those universities because most of the Korea high school education is only appropriate for Korean Universities. Therefore, the national assembly should change those high school education to make students able to have more choices.

To Carlton Johnson
Hello, Johnson. I think this is the first time to send a letter by an email to someone. What I want to say is that I am really thankful for you. I was really bad at writing essays but now I improved a lot to such an extent as to get A+ at your class! I think this improvement was able because I really enjoyed learning English. Before, I thought I was really bad at English because I was always compared with my elder brother Kelvin Chae, the 13th waver who went to the department of p.p.e in Oxford University. I suffered from an inferiority complex and I got lots of stress attending English class here. However, one day, I remembered the time when I went to my grandfather's funeral last year. He was the great general of Korea, the great father, and the great friend. Feeling love that he left in this world, I thought I will give my love in this world and contribute for better world. His love made me to realize it is too wasteful to spend limited time whining, even making others sad. From then on, attended your class happily, realizing how beautiful the world is. Your lecture made me to realize the lessom my grandfather gave. Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours.
Jennie Chae

After earning a BFA in Graphic Design from Rhode Island School of Design, my first job was roofing houses (thank you, economic recession of the early 90's). I eventually landed a position as a graphic designer for a small print shop and received a valuable education in production. I spent the first half of my career doing print and identity design before moving to the web in 2000, becoming the Creative Director at Newfangled.
I'm not a native Rhode Islander but I've lived here long enough that I now give directions by where landmarks used to be. My wife (also a RISD grad) and I live in Providence and spend weekends indulging in our secret passion of yard sales and flea markets. As a result, our children have become master bargain hunters and negotiators.
I love being a designer and helping my clients solve their problems. Some of the unique contributions I bring to a project are the ability to listen carefully and draw out the most important elements of the problem, which leads to better solutions.

Why You Should Never Use Vegetable Oils
I was doing a short pantry cleanse over the weekend and noticed my graveyard of cooking oils gathering cobwebs. I had a standard bottle of vegetable oil, canola oil, and corn oil sitting in the corner. I hadn't touched them in over a year. They went right in the trash. Why, you ask? Because they are chock full of GMO's (genetically modified products) and while marketed as 'heart healthy', are actually pretty harmful to your health.
I know, we have all been duped by the low fat, no fat craze of the 80's and 90's. It's not your fault. We all thought we were doing what was best for our health. Margarine, vegetable oils, soybean oil, canola oil, partially hydrogenated oils, etc.. These were supposed to be so much better than (gasp!) full fat butter or lard. And lard, (even bigger gasp!), really got shoved in the back of the cupboard.
See, these processed vegetable oils were supposed to grant us heart health, lasting 'ticker' vitality, so we didn't slump over prematurely. They were toted as low in cholesterol, therefore, a much better substitute for products with fat. And since cholesterol was the cause of heart disease, then these other 'better' oils must be do the trick! Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Do your research and you will see that cholesterol has very little to do with heart disease risk.
As a matter of fact, increased consumption of these oils has been shown to increase heart disease and obesity as well as risk of neurological disorders, cancer, liver problems, Alzheimer's, and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) to name a few. Part has to do with the way they are processed, the other part is how they are used - way too often, in almost every fried food, and at very high heat.
Most processed oils are derived from genetically modified plants. Canola? There is no such thing as a canola plant found in nature. Yes, you can find it in a lab, because it is a hybrid bred from the seed of a rape plant. (And the rape seed, FYI, contains high amounts of erucic acid which is toxic to the human body.) But good 'ol Mother Earth didn't give us a canola. Soybean and corn are the other two highest GMO offenders.
The process of creating vegetable oils is pretty funky as well. The biggest dupe of all is that vegetable oils aren't even made from vegetables! How's that for food for thought?
Vegetable oils and margarines are extracted from seeds, but you can't squeeze oil from these seeds, so it is chemically removed instead with petroleum solvents and high heat. Plus, more chemicals are added to "deodorize" it and make it look edible. We wouldn't even touch vegetable oil after the immediate processing stage because it looks gross and stinks to high hell!
Want to get an appetizing visual on this? Do a Google search for this video: "fathead butter vs canola oil".
So now that I have taken away most of your oil options, you are probably wondering what the heck you are supposed to be using instead. Use products where the oils separate naturally. Butter and coconut oil are good examples. (Stop worrying about the fat... another dietary myth.) Butter, ghee, and medium grade coconut oils are all great for medium to high heat cooking. Plus, the medium grade coco oil has very little coconut aftertaste.
A high quality olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil are great choices for non-heat use such as salad dressings. You can use the EV coconut oil for higher-heat cooking too, but it will have a slightly sweet, coconut taste. Try sautéing veggies in it!

Off the Beaten Career Path With Dogs
By Carol Bryant
Years ago, Googling "careers with animals" would have turned up such admirable professions as veterinarian, groomer, veterinary technician, trainer, or dog handler. Today, those results still surface, but so do a new host of other dog-oriented careers. In viewing this list, consider the educational implications, possible costs and the time needed to commit. If any of the following pique your interest, an initial first step should involve asking someone who is currently in the industry if you can talk to them and/or visit their place of business.
Pet Sitter: Complete with its own national nonprofit trade association (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters), pet-sitting provides thousands with a new trade. With an estimated 73 million dogs in United States homes, pet sitters are able to dote upon and care for dogs where they are most comfortable, surrounded by familiar sights, smells and sounds.
Dog Writer: The Dog Writers Association of America (DWAA) reports that prior to Feb. 13, 1935, the dog writer as we know it did not exist. The DWAA was formed in the Westminster Kennel Club's meeting room, and dog writers have been making their mark and marking their words ever since. The profession now finds itself on blogs, in breed-specific magazines, in general publications, in syndicated columns, in books and even in the pet product industry.
Canine Hands-on: From humane law enforcement to working with a search and rescue unit, canine cops, bomb-sniffing dogs, cadaver dogs and even dog detectives that find lost dogs have emerged as viable career options.
Pet Product Business Owner: From virtual storefronts on Etsy.com to the vast amount of vendors involved in groups like the American Pet Products Association (APPA), being a self-made entrepreneur has its merits. Proven to be almost recession-proof, pet product spending has shown to be on the rise and continues its upswing.
Beyond these four, other dog-themed careers to consider include website designer, pet photographer, dog walker, dog day care owner, mobile dog groomer, employee at a dog show arena, pet illustrator/artist, volunteer at a shelter, guide dog trainer, owner of a dog-friendly destination (i.e., bed and breakfast), and even pet masseuse. No matter the choice, one thing is certain: Dog careers are blossoming by leaps, bounds and wags.
Carol Bryant is the Social Media and PR Director for Fido Friendly magazine. A frequent media contributor, Carol is a two-time nominee from the Dog Writers Association of America, and she maintains her own dog blog, Fidose of Reality. Her articles have previously appeared in The Dog Daily.

'The Glam Guide' - Fleur de Force
I did a review on Michelle Phan's own book here and I got quite a good response so I decided to try out other YouTuber's similar books. Now, I was tempted to buy this when it finally came on the self, but I was hesitant because I didn't want to purchase a book that would be useless for me.
However, I went ahead and bought it anyway.
Let's judge the book by its cover first. I love everything about the cover except the panel of pictures at the bottom. I don't know why I dislike it but I feel like it is so harsh to the rest of the cover that is so soft and gentle, if that makes any sense? Anyway, it's a minor detail so it's not really enough to prevent me from reading this book.
Now, let's get into the cons and then go onto the good stuff shall we?
One con I have found most annoying to me, is the lack of pictures. I'm not saying that there isn't graphics because here are a lot of them which is very pleasing to the eye. However, at the points where it would be helpful to have a picture, it is usually on a blank page. That's just very annoying for when she is writing about stuff like make up that will be more helpful to her readers if she had actual pictures to point out what she meant.
A second problem that is extremely minor is that in the DIY Face mask part, she went into extensive detail of what kind of base ingredients are good for the skin and what each base is good for targeting the problem. What surprised me and annoyed me the most was that she gave no examples of good face masks. It's not like I naturally know what kind of face masks to make just by knowing the base ingredients right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't store DIY's in my head 24/7.
But like I said, it is an extremely minor thing so, there's almost no point even mentioning it really. But just something to keep in mind. She might've been so pressed for time (she mentions in her videos and vlogs that she is pushing out the information at certain points so, it's understandable) that she just forgot to write that part in.
Now, moving onto the really good parts.
This book is great because there is a focus on life style. It really shows you the kind of person Fleur is when you read her book because you see what part of her life she really focuses on and it's so refreshing after reading Michelle Phan's books and saw that it was evenly between Beauty and Fashion. Which is fine, but since I was looking for something different in this book, I definitely got it.
Her life style tips include not only fashion and how to wear certain kinds of things, but also includes travelling, things she packs in her day and night bag with so much more. It's a real glimpse into her life and the way she views things.
Something else that is great is, as mentioned above, this is a book full of tips. Literally. full of tips. She never tells you explicitly that you need to do the things she says but is constantly reminding you that these are just tips. I love how she does not impose her wisdom onto others but is more like a friend giving advice.
Going off on that point, at various sections of her books, she has these two pages titled, '10 Quick Tips' which, if you pick up the book and do not intend to buy, is the must read part if you are pressed for time. They are truly great tips and I actually learned more from those 10 tips than from reading 20+ pages (not that I didn't learn anything from those 20+ pages, just that the tips were more compact and got to the point).
I don't know if I am allowed to do this... but these are my two favourite tips in the book (in the first half of the book):
1. If you buy a cheap ring...coat the inside with clear nail polish to stop it turning your finger green.
2. If you are worried about going bra less...buy a cheap strapless bra, cut the band off, and just sew the cup onto the front of the dress...
Now, if I had to go into specific sections I am enjoying, it is definitely the DIY Hair Masks, and the Quick Hair Updos (not what it is actually called...).
Both sections are extremely helpful and I love how in both sections, there are pictures of them being done (within the DIY hair mask section, it is more a picture of the ingredients but there is also a very concise recipe).
Finally, I love how quick it is to read. Because it is a book full of tips, I managed to finish the book in almost a day and a half and didn't feel like I had fried my brain trying to absorb information.
Overall, I believe that if you are a life style addict, this book is extremely useful. While there are some beauty tips, it was none that I didn't know. So if you watch enough beauty videos as I do, you probably would understand it all and could just skim through it (or bypass it completely).

Call Critter Control of Central Massachusetts today! Play Audio Pause Audio Getting Rid of Problem Raccoons Description Raccoons are considered pests because of their foraging and nesting habits. They are often associated with trash consumption and live in a wide range of habitats, including rural, urban, and suburban. Raccoons are notorious for their curious and shrewd natures. Appearance Ranging considerably in weight (7 to 30 pounds) depending on habitat, raccoons are easily identifiable thanks to their unique coloration. Black encircles their eyes and extends across their cheeks, similar in appearance to classic burglar masks. Raccoons can reach 3 feet in length and generally have gray fur with hints of brown. Their tails are also unique as they display alternating rings of white and black down the length of the appendage. Habitat Being adaptable, raccoons are found in almost every climate region of the U.S., and some have even learned to survive solely on human garbage. Favorite nesting locations of wild raccoons include forests, marshes, and prairies. Raccoon Problems Entry The males rarely invade human habitations and will only do so if natural food sources are scarce. Females, on the other hand, often enter attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces when they are pregnant with young and wish to provide shelter to their coming offspring. Since their hands are structured in such a way that allows them to grasp objects, raccoons have been known to open doors and gain access to secured goods like stored pet food. Damage Raccoons damage landscapes while they forage for food. As omnivores, the animals will eat most anything, including vegetation found in gardens and on farmland. Furthermore, raccoons contaminate homes with their excrement and urine and are carriers of disease. They infamously target unsecured garbage receptacles and leave behind unsanitary messes. Raccoons occasionally attack livestock, such as poultry, and common house pets, like dogs and cats, as well. Raccoon Control Control and Safety Feeding raccoons only increases the chance of home invasion. As such, property owners should employ simple methods of control, like securing trash bins with fitted lids and attaching latches that lock the lids in place. Raccoons normally flee upon approach, but rabid individuals display fearlessness regarding humans. However, not all infected individuals act strangely, so people must always use extreme caution around the animals. The only way to stay completely safe from raccoons is to enlist the help of certified professional removal teams. Trapping and Removal Critter Control specialists are experts in raccoon removal. Using the most advanced technologies and tools, our teams quell any animal problems plaguing your home. Utilize our extensive knowledge and expertise to fix your raccoon problems by calling us today. Raccoon Removal Job in Concord, MA: When a mother raccoon chooses to give birth in a chimney, it takes weeks before the babies are able to climb out on their own. Having raccoons coming and going, and potentially damaging your home and chimney is cause for concern. Nesting materials may pose a threat for fires. We can help you get rid of raccoon problems.

A world more colourful
It is a beautiful day: the sky is blue, the trees are green and the poppies are red. I feel lucky to be a trichromat so I can appreciate these things.
Humans have three colour receptors in the retina which allow us to perceive the world in colour. These receptors are tuned to detect light wavelengths corresponding to blue, green and red. If one or more of these receptors is defective this leads to colour blindness.
Most mammals and primates only have 2 colour receptors, which allow discrimination between blue and yellow. It has been hypothesised that humans and a few other "old world" primates evolved a third receptor for red in order to forage for red berries in the green foliage.
However, some humans may be able to see even more colours. There is a small subset of women who have four distinct colour receptors, making them tetrachromats. The potential for tetrachromacy in women has long been recognised, because of the properties of the genes which code for colour receptors.
Around 10% of men suffer from colour-blindness whilst this falls to less than 1% in women. This is because the genes which code for red and green colour receptors are located on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes, therefore giving them 'back-up' coding genes for colour receptors if one goes wrong. Men have one X and one Y meaning that if the X is defective, there is no back-up.
Strangely, this genetic quirk may also give rise to females with extraordinary colour vision. During cell division to create sex cells, green and red colour receptor genes on each chromosome are mixed and a green gene may replace a red, or vice versa.
In males this would cause colour blindness but as females have a back-up this may result in 4 colour receptors being coded for. If the two green receptors are sensitive to a slightly different light wavelength ("shifted reception") then the female may have extended colour vision.
Dr. Gabriele Jordan at Newcastle University tested the colour vision of women with colour blind sons, as they would be more likely to have 4 cones. One participant. "Mrs. M" could correctly distinguish between computer-generated tones which appeared identical to trichromats. This finding gives hope for the existence of functional human tetrachromacy and demonstrates how much simple genetic quirks can change an organism.

Most cities in the USA could be defined as melting pots. The mixture of cultures and backgrounds of the people who live in these cities is a wonder all in its own. Just sitting at a bus stop or in a restaurant could offer a wonderful opportunity to take in the huge majority of cultures the cities have to offer you.
Possibly the individual that has the most interaction with the various kinds of people in a city is the driver of a Yellow Cab. Just imagine what it would be like as a cab driver in a city, and the huge kinds of people that you would encounter on a daily basis. You could learn so much about different cultures just by striking up conversations with those who take a ride in your Yellow Cab. It's astonishing to learn how many drivers of these cabs are more than prepared to strike up conversations with the passengers of their vehicles, as if each new passenger is a fresh start and a new chance to learn something about someone. The fascination of the life of a cab driver is even so great that it has spurred television shows and movies to depict what it would be like.
The moto taxi paris motorcycle taxi paris stands as a symbol of sorts to life in a city. Movies and television shows depict city residents and visitors standing on street curbs hailing down the yellow vehicles. Therefore when people visit cities, they've come to expect the cabs that they see driving the streets of the city to be yellow and may be taken aback if the vehicles are any other colours.
Besides the moto taxi being an icon of sorts of life in a city, these vehicles are also quite much the support system of transportation in cities. Not many residents of cities own their own vehicles for a lot of reasons. It's extremely expensive to park a car near your apartment in a city and in addition, it can be a pain trying to drive in the traffic of a city. Furthermore, living in a city can be rather pricey, paying rent alone can be nearly impossible occasionally, so many residents elect to forgo the expensive of keeping a car and choose to use public transportation instead. Furthermore, visitors to cities rely a good deal on cab drivers to help them get to where they're going because it can be quite confusing trying to navigate a city which you're not familiar with. A number of these visitors have taken a plane into the city and don't have a number of different options of getting around a city rather then renting a car for the duration of the trip or taking cabs. Oftentimes, taking a cab is a not as expensive and more convenient choice.

Criminals using the roads in and around Widnes to travel between Cheshire and Merseyside were caught out yesterday (Wednesday) as dozens of officers were deployed for Operation Crossbow.
The operation was aimed at disrupting criminal activity across the region and denying criminals the use of the roads.
Using the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, officers were able to monitor virtually every vehicle which crossed the border between the two counties.
Following a briefing at 11am, dozens of vehicles made their way onto the streets. Many took up strategic positions along the arterial routes while others roamed – ensuring that if there were any drivers or vehicles linked to criminal activity, they would be caught.
The operation was considered a success and resulted in:
• Over 700 ANPR hits
• Around 150 vehicles stops
• 11 vehicles seized
• 13 taxi enforcement stops
• Seven arrests - including for theft and drugs-related offences
Of particular note, three people were arrested for possession with intent to supply, while two others were taken into custody after a Ford Transit was stopped and three off-road bikes were discovered in the rear of the van. The two men, one aged 30 and 31, from Widnes and Halewood respectively have been bailed pending further enquiries.
And Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, who accompanied one of Cheshire's roads policing officers, was in the thick of the action when a white VW Polo failed to stop and a pursuit was authorised. The vehicle came to a stop in Daresbury and ACC Roberts was first on the scene to detain the driver, receiving back-up from fellow officers as a 28-year-old from Frodsham and 22-year-old from Runcorn were arrested. The 28-year-old has been bailed pending further enquiries on a number of offences, while the 22-year-old was released without charge.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Beauchamp, who was overseeing the operation, said: "These results can only show that the operation has been a success. It's extremely important that we continue to be relentless in our pursuit of organised crime and will use a whole host of tactics to disrupt criminals working in our region.
"This was a great example of partnership working with another police force, and I'm sure this will have reassured the public that we are not just here to tackle serious and organised crime, but also those drivers who think it is acceptable to flout the laws on taxing and insuring your vehicle – which can so often leave innocent drivers out of pocket if they are involved in a collision.
"Certainly we received a positive response from the public through our social media channels, so we know these types of offences are important to the people of Cheshire."
Chief Inspector Chris Gibson, of Merseyside Police, added: "This operation has demonstrated our determination to stamp out cross-border criminality. Working with our colleagues at Cheshire, we have sent out a message to all those who believe they can use the roads between our two counties that they will be caught, and they will be brought to justice."
