Recently the British Horse Society conducted a study into the psychological and physical health benefits of horse-back riding, and it's fair to say that there are many! So what better way to explore a new country than by horse-back? We take a quick look at what those health benefits are exactly…
Horse-riding is a physical sport that really works all of your body. It develops your balance and stability, while also improving your ability to co-ordination. A lot needs to happen simultaneously to get a horse to pick up speed or even walk without wandering off. This requires you to coordinate leg pressure, rein pressure, and body position all at the same time. It goes without saying that that your core and leg muscles really get a work-out when your horse-riding.
Trust us, your arms, core and legs will all ache after a day of riding. We mean your whole leg. Almost every leg muscle plays a part. From holding you on the horse, directing the horse and when rocking with the horse during cantering. You'll find your glutes will also hurt. So when you're hoppling around the next day, just think of the good it's doing your body!
There are also major psychological and social benefits of horse riding. It's found that interaction with the animals stimulates positive psychological feelings; something that is not found with many sports or activities. Similarly, being outdoors and in contact with nature has been found to have a positive impact on mental well-being. Our horse-riding breaks ensure you have lots of contact with the horses and get to explore the surrounding area on horse-back.
We have riding holidays that are great for horse enthusiasts, where the focus is on riding and technique, but we also have packages that start with the basics and offer lessons to beginners while also providing an introduction into basic horse management. We cater for all ages and abilities, so if you cannot find your perfect holiday we will tailor one of our packages specifically for you.
Our horse-riding package in Northern Croatia is perfect for beginners as the guides tailor the package to your capabilities and newbies can opt into a mini-riding school with the opportunity to feed the horses, clean the hooves and familiarise yourself with the riding equipment. Our break in Kerry is really for advance riders, with 18-22 mile treks per day. If you prefer to dabble in horse-riding but wouldn't want to embark on a holiday dedicated to it the why not have a look at our multi-activity package in Slovenia? It includes horse riding, alongside white water rafting, hiking and cycling! Whatever your level or interests, there's no denying that horse riding is a great way to keep fit and stay active.
We know that horse riders are passionate about their interest, we have a few horse enthusiasts in the office! So we know what's important when planning a horse riding holiday, so be sure to consider for your next go-active break.

The Times of Israel reports: The Gaza-based Hamas terrorist group appears to branching into the field of local tourism, turning underground tunnels constructed to carry out cross-border attacks on Israeli communities into the latest summer attraction for Gazan youth.
Video footage posted to Facebook by Afaq, a pro-Hamas media outlet in Gaza, shows lines of children walking through the tunnels decorated with posters of Hamas operatives apparently killed by Israel. In one shot, a guide wearing a florescent yellow jacket can be seen directing the children.
According to the post, the tunnel tours are taking place in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, and form part of a Hamas exhibition displaying weapons and methods used in the "resistance" against Israel.
"Afaq media enters a tunnel created by the Qassam Brigades during a weapons exhibition in Shejaiya on the anniversary [of the war]," reads the text introducing the video, referring to Hamas's armed wing. The exhibition was said to be "open to any citizen or media for videos and publishing."

It is estimated that South Africans drink in excess of 5 billion litres of alcohol per annum; this equates to 9 – 10 litres of alcohol per person.
Alcohol use among the youth of South Africa is rife and increases with age for both males and females. The reasons for alcohol use and abuse range from a desire to fit in, peer pressure, boredom, poor home environment, the relative cheapness of alcohol, as well as it's ease of access.
Alcohol Abuse vs. Alcohol Dependence
A distinction is made between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence (or alcoholism). Alcohol abusers are thought to have some semblance of control over their alcohol intake and as such are able to set limits for themselves; this does not, however, mean that their drinking cannot or will not progress to more dangerous or dependent habits.
Alcohol dependence or alcoholism can develop gradually over time as a person's alcohol tolerance increases. The risk of developing alcoholism is greater for those who partake in binge (a period of excessive or uncontrolled indulgence) drinking or who consume alcohol on a daily basis. Alternatively, alcohol dependence can develop relatively suddenly due to a genetic predisposition or family history of alcoholism, or stressful life events.
Signs & Symptoms of Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol abuse refers to drinking habits that impact negatively on a person's personal, interpersonal and work/school relationships and environments.
Signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Drinking as a stress reliever – For many the use of alcohol to de-stress is the beginning of a downward spiral; the reason for this being that alcohol is a sedative, meaning that over time a person needs to consume more of it in order for it to have the same effect it initially had.
- Repeated neglect of responsibilities – Either because of drinking or the effects of drinking (i.e. suffering from a hang over) responsibilities at home, school or work are neglected e.g. poor work performance, poor or failing grades, absenteeism etc.
- Alcohol use and poor judgement – Alcohol use impairs a person's judgement and physical responses resulting in poor and dangerous decision making such as drinking and driving, drinking and having sex, mixing alcohol with medication, drinking in unsafe areas or neighbourhoods.
- Drinking despite relationship problems – Continuing to drink despite the fact that your alcohol consumption is resulting in relationship problems at home, with friends and at work / school.
- Legal problems due to drinking – Drinking patterns resulting in repeated legal problems such as: getting arrested for drunken driving, getting involved in drunken fights, domestic violence, drunk and disorderly conduct.
Signs & Symptoms of Alcohol Dependence
In addition to the signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse, alcoholism includes three additional aspects: tolerance, physical dependence and withdrawal.
- Tolerance – refers to the need for increased amounts of alcohol in order for it to have the same effect. Signs of increased tolerance include: consuming more alcohol than other people without show signs of intoxication; drinking more than you used to.
- Lack of control – drinking more than you intended and / or for longer than you intended despite telling yourself or others that you wouldn't.
- Inability to stop – you have the desire to cut down or stop drinking alcohol but all efforts either to stop or to stay sober fail.
- Pre-occupation with drinking – you spend increasing less time doing things that used to interest you as a result of your drinking; you spend an increasing amount of time drinking, thinking about drinking or recovering from the effects of drinking.
- Withdrawal – you experience withdrawal symptoms as the alcohol wears off and you sober up, e.g. shakiness, anxiety, sweating, trembling, vomiting, nausea, insomnia, irritability, depression, loss of appetite and headaches. Drinking in order to relieve or avoid these symptoms is a sign of alcohol dependence.

The way the ball moved looks like a hack that I believe lets you control the ball. I think this is from a video that was basically a comedy with the guy always getting a strike in an unexpected way.
I tried to find the video to link to it, but I was unable to find it.
From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP9LmoCzkL0
edit:same people who made "chinese", they play a hack that allows you to control the ball
That was surprisingly funny for how stupid it was. Everything's funnier with a bunch of guys in the background laughing at it, I guess.
It really was fantastic, especially amazing because of how simple it was.
Thinking your reupload video on youtube won't get striked because the original author didn't, but you get a strike anyways
Ive done something similiar in real life by luck i guess (since i can't replicate it ) altough i got 8 down and split afterwards
Me: oh i'm going to miss Knuckles: if you strike, i wil sho you de wae me:
Imagine winning by like ten pins but right when the game's about to end this happens to the other player
I've actually done this in a real game of bowling, by putting too much spin onto the ball.

This is just a quick update to let you all know that I recently interviewed Rodrigo García, the director of 'Last Days in the Desert.' Fun factoid: he is the son of Gabriel García Márquez, the Nobel prize-winning author of "Love in the Time of Cholera" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude." Rodrigo's new film starring Ewan McGregor, which tells an imagined chapter during Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, is a stunning cinematic experience. It's certainly the most beautiful desert photography I've ever seen.

I learned that when a pair of swans become too aggressive to get along with the others, they are exiled to neighbouring towns, such as St Marys.
Should we have a little parade for our two delinquent swans?
It could be named St Marys' Swan Walk of Shame.

Succulents are great plants for indoors and a great way to decorate.
I have been finding great planters for these plants. Remember to keep your eyes open and use you imagination.
Some ideas for planters are cans from canned goods, candle jars, and coffee mugs. Make sure to use the right soil and you will have lovely decorations in minutes.
You can even propagate succulents from small cuttings, they are very easy to care for as long as you do not over water them. Succulents can be prone to root rot, which occurs when the plant's roots sit in water in the bottom of the planter. I water mine about 1 time every 10 days.

50 bilion plastic bottles are thrown away each year and only one-fourth of this vast number is being recycled. Not to mention CO2 emissions and extreme inefficiency of bottle water transportation. Designers Armin and Richard from Bu Products have a solution to this problem – a premium designed reusable water bottle. Its simple design and smart filter lets you to carry your water wherever you go and not to harm the planet.
In order to filter the water in a sustainable way, designers used a traditional Japanese method that converts the bamboo into an activated charcoal. In this process, millions of tiny bamboo pores are opened and a surface of activated charcoal with countless bonding sites is created. Bad chemicals like chlorine are absorbed by these pores while releasing minerals such as magnesium back into the water. Used filter can be simply composted into the garden.

Lorie's List of Best Back To School Ideas
It's back to school time! As August turns into September, teachers, parents and students all start preparing for the big day – the first day of school. Whether you are like me and absolutely love the beginning of the school year with its fresh start, new clean notebooks, backpacks & school bags with no crumbs, shiny new school shoes, perfectly shaped erasers, (I could go on and on…did I mention freshly sharpened pencils?) or are like some other members of my family who shall remain nameless and wouldn't mind a few more weeks of summer vacation (and sleeping in), back to school we go!
So with that in mind, I've put together a list of resources for moms, dads, teachers and just about everyone as we head back to school. I've included back to school bulletin boards (really cute ideas), first day of school activities (getting to know you and more fun) back to school crafts, back to school door and wall decorations (aren't these teachers creative?), back to school night ideas, back to school lunch ideas (boy, do I need these!), ideas for special needs kids as they head back to school and more!

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys missed linebacker Sean Lee on Sunday.
But, as far as defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is concerned, that's no excuse for the way the Los Angeles Rams gashed them in a 35-30 victory.
In particular, Rams running back Todd Gurley proved to be a weapon the Cowboys couldn't contain. Gurley had a career day with 121 rushing yards and 94 receiving yards. The 215 yards from scrimmage were the most in his young career to date.
"Hell of a player," Marinelli said. "We knew that going into it. We knew this guy is a terrific back and we've got to play our gaps. We got knocked out of gaps. Give them credit.
"And we've got to tackle. We didn't tackle well."
Gurley showcased his elusiveness all afternoon. Gurley had 23 carries and seven catches on the day, and eight of his touches went for double-digit yards.
The highlight came in the third quarter on a 53-yard touchdown reception from Jared Goff. Gurley got past Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson and made a move that left safety Jeff Heath on the ground and him running free to the end zone.
Rams first-year coach Sean McVay has made it a point to utilize Gurley more in the passing game.
"It takes a lot of stress off everybody – Goff, me, the receivers," Gurley said. "We have a lot of guys who can do a lot of things. Tavon [Austin], he is a mini-running back now, I guess I am a mini-receiver.
"Just to be able to have that diversity in our offense and being able to do pass, run, pass, run. That means a lot for us."
The production showed up against a Cowboys defense that had been the top-ranked running D a year ago.
Gurley became the first Rams player with 200-plus yards from scrimmage since Dec. 12, 2008 when Steven Jackson had 215 yards from scrimmage against Atlanta.
The last player with 200-plus yards from scrimmage against the Cowboys happened to be current running back Alfred Morris. Morris, playing for the Redskins on Dec. 30, 2012, had 212 yards from scrimmage (200 rushing, 12 receiving).
"Gurley's a pretty good back and I feel like we could have done a much better job of hitting our gaps," defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford said. "When they were doing no huddle, our assignments, sometimes we got away from our assignments.
"Those big plays, we can't let those happen."

How to Make Scented Candles that Repel Bugs
Homemade aromatic candles are the perfect way to keep bugs away and give your house a distinct decorative touch at the same time. Learn how to make them in this article!
Aromatic candles are much more than a relaxing tool. They're even more than something that helps add light or even a sensational way to decorate a nook in your house.
If you're good with crafts or you want to try your secret abilities in this art, we have a suggestion. Try making your own candles to keep away mosquitoes or other kinds of insects.
The fragrance that these give off when you light them creates a very pleasant atmosphere for your senses. However, this isn't everything.
At the same time, it creates a defensive barrier against small enemies. Whether you want them or not, they can carry severe diseases.
We suggest you start learning the art of aromatic candles. This is an easy, gratifying activity that can open up a whole new field of possibilities. This is especially true if you like the aroma therapy.
Are you taking notes? It's easier than it looks!
Floating citronella aromatic candles
Citronella essential oil is a classic insect repellent.
However, we need to be clear: this kind of decorative homemade remedy won't kill mosquitoes or any other kind of bug.
What it does is make them run away. It does not exterminate them.
As a result, you should know if your house has sources of moisture that favor the growth of these kinds of bugs, it's necessary to take more serious steps. For instance, this could mean using replants, mosquito nets, etc.
First, you'll see how you can make your own floating citronella aromatic candles.
What you need
- 2 glass jars
- 2 floating candles that are the right size for the jars
- 2 lemons
- 2 limes
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 10 sage leaves
- 10 sprigs of fresh lavender
- 10 drops of essential citronella oil
- 2 cups of water
- 2 ribbons to decorate the jars
How to make them
It's as easy as gathering all of the elements in the jars. This means each plant, and the rounds of lime and lemon.
- We start with cutting the limes and lemons in rounds. They should be approximately 1/2 an inch thick.
- The first thing you will put in the jars are the aromatic plants.
- Evenly spread the rosemary, lavender, and sage leaves.
- On top of the aromatic plants, add the citrus rounds.
- Then, add the drops of citronella essential oil: put 5 drops in each jar.
- Then, add the water. You only need to pour water until it's a little higher than the middle of the jar (it shouldn't go to the top).
- The next step is just as easy. When you add the water, you'll realize that the citrus floats. The rounds make a good base to put your candles on.
- You can get floating lights in any decoration or craft store. These are crated to float on the surface of liquids. In this case, they'll rest on a piece of citrus.
- Lastly, the only thing left is decorating the glass jar. To do this, you only need to wrap a ribbon around the neck of your jar. Easy!
These jars are as decorative as they are effective for repelling mosquitoes.
Compact candles for repelling insects
In the last project, we showed you how to make jars with floating candles. They're very pretty. But one of their main downsides is that they burn very quickly.
In this project, we want to show you how to make compact candles: they last longer and they're as effective as they are interesting.
This is how you make them.
What you need
- 2 glass jars with measurements that you like
- Natural candle wax (The amount you need will depend on the capacity of your jars)
- 2 candle wicks
- 10 drops of essential citronella oil
- Decorative bands for the jars
How to make them
For this project, you're going to spend some time in the kitchen. Why? You need to melt the wax. However, read each step closely.
- First, you need to put the candle wick in the jars. When you buy candle wicks in the store, you'll see that they already come with an aluminum base. You just need to put this in the center of the glass jars.
- Then, put the empty glass jars in the oven. You need to heat them.
- You only need to put them on the lowest temperature your oven has. Let them heat up for 15 to 20 minutes. This way, the wax will be more compact when you pour it inside.
- At the same time, melt your wax in a pot on the stove.
- When the wax has a consistency like olive oil, it's ready. Then, turn off the heat and add the 10 drops of citronella essential oil.
- Then, add the melted wax in each jar. Be careful that you don't burn yourself.
- Always remember that the candle wick should stay in the middle.
- When it cools, cut the wick so that it's just the right length.
Then, your aromatic candles are ready. Decorate them with ribbons, and enjoy. You'll love them!

, TX (PressExposure) February 22, 2007 -- Why do we keep having meetings that are ineffective and nonproductive when the solution is so simple? Where do we find the solution to bad meetings? A different kind of meeting management book - âR.A!R.A! A Meeting Wizardâs Approachâ is available on http://www.Amazon.com. It suggests any meeting can be made better by adding one or more of the components of the acronym R.A!R.A! The author, Shirley Fine Lee, feels each component does something to provide better results before, during, and after the meeting. The more components utilized changes meetings from bad to good and frequent use of all components should move good meetings to great. So what does R.A!R.A! stand for? The four components of R.A!R.A! are Roles, Agenda, Records, and Actions.
According to the meeting wizard, assigned roles are very important to successful meetings. The roles should be assigned prior to the meeting so people know which ones they have. If roles were not assigned, then they should be assigned at the beginning of the meeting before going over the agenda. The agenda should also be created before the meeting so everyone knows what is expected to occur during the meeting. If necessary, the agenda may be quickly created or revised and then agreed upon at the start of the meeting.
The wizard says records and action assignment are not only for meeting follow-up. Having them visible during meetings can increase effectiveness and productivity during the meeting as well. Records should contain any idea generation, major discussion, and decision making that occurs. Actions should be recorded as they come up and assigned to someone with a due date before the meeting closes.
Although the four components are the foundation of the process diagramed in the book âR.A!R.A! A Meeting Wizardâs Approachâ, it is not the entire book. The book includes information and forms on preparing for, tracking, and evaluating meetings. It also includes an imaginative section on typical meeting disruptions and how to handle them, which Mrs. Lee refers to as âbeastly problemsâ. To find out more, check out the book on http://www.Amazon.com.

I read a quote once that said something along the lines of:
"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."
My grandparents came over from Argentina when my sister was born { with a whizz bang video camera that pretty much took up the boot of the old torana } so we have hours of documentation of my not so composed reaction to a new sibling... Little did I know then that a wolf pack was in the making.
I find peace in the fact that there are at least 2 people in my life that no matter how far away life and its direction takes us, that we will always be there for each other. Oh and have a good laugh every time we are brought back together. { Usually at one another expense }
Wishing my sister the Happiest of Birthdays and even though times have been tough I think the new year is going to bring many new and exciting things. I am proud of her and it makes me happy looking back at these photos of when she was a little ball of smiles that not much has changed.... keep smiling :D
Sissy 1!
*** Yes, that's me giving her the evil eye in the car ***

|AA Grade Herkimer Diamond
|Herkimer Diamonds were formed by tremendous heat 300-500 million years ago beneath a shallow sea bed of the rock dolomite, now New York state. The dolomite began as limestone and calcite rock, and while still under water, magnesium was added. This new addition created the sedimentary rock called dolomite. Pockets and vugs within the dolomite were filled with fluid rich in silicon dioxide, or quartz, providing the material to allow the clear crystals to form. One explanation as to the double terminations points of Herkimer's is that the fluid filled pockets allowed them to form freely, providing the opportunity to terminate on both ends. Another explanation to the double termination's is silica has no attraction to the dolomite rock and avoids attachment to it.

Mr. Locksmith Fort Langley 604-330-9915These days the locksmith is not only relegated to the ever present, but various lock and its parts, automobile lock outs, home lock outs or merely thought of for residential use. The locksmith has, in fact, become quite a force to be reckoned within the commercial and residential field when it comes to knowledge, service, repair, sales and installation of safes.We all know that various retail locations and companies specialize in safes and sales, but so does the locksmith and his or her personal, professional and dependable service are just a small number of the benefits one receives when utilizing a locksmith for all of their safe and security needs.When working with safes a Seattle locksmith and his tools are always the precise and required instruments to keep them ready and able to complete most, if not every type of circumstance that might present itself in regards of installation, service or repair.Pulling up to the worksite location the locksmith is certain to have his or her borescope. The borescope is an optical device consisting of a rigid or flexible tube with an eye piece on one end and an objective lens on the other linked together relay optical system in between. In most cases the optical system is surrounded by optical fibers used for illuminated. This allows for the remote object to be illuminated forming the image in the objective lens which is relayed to the viewer's eye. This helps to inspect areas that would otherwise be inaccessible to view by any other means.A drill rig is an instrument that holds a drill in place while a safe is being drilled and carbide drill bits are used for this type of work. Also known as a "rotary or roto hammer", the hammer drill is a rotary drill with a hammering action and the tool provides a function similar to that of a jackhammer. While hammer drills are well suited for work on stone and masonry, they are also used with safe work.Additionally a door puller and a nose puller are typically made accessible on site with the locksmith and ready to be used for different types of service, entry or repair and if needed the sledgehammer can certainly come in quite handy.Resembling a sort of Swiss army pocket knife the assorted safe change keys are mandatory when needing to change the combinations of different types and brands of safes.One who not only works with safes, but those who own them as well know that it is of the utmost importance to have proper safe moving equipment available. While sometimes relatively small in appearance safes are typically not always the lightest of items. Proper safe moving equipment may become necessary and the locksmith is certain to bring all of the components for a successful move when servicing safes in the home or business alike.When servicing safes, or any other closely related forms of security such as safe deposit boxes, file cabinets and vaults, the correct use and application of a locksmiths tools are essential.

One of the surprises in the budget update was that Finance Minister Carole James had not provided any increase in funding for the NDP's ambitious child care program.
Vaughn Palmer: 'Champion of child care' Carole James omits funding increase
VICTORIA — One of the surprises in the budget update this week was that Finance Minister Carole James had not provided any increase in funding for the NDP's ambitious child care program.
Not only did the party platform promise a hefty injection of dollars for the current year, but no provincial politician has been more closely tied to the commitment to universal child care than James herself.
• Jan 21, 2001: James makes her formal entry into the provincial political arena when the New Democrats nominate her as the candidate in Victoria-Beacon Hill. As the then-director of child care in the NDP government, she helped shape Child Care B.C., offering before and after school care at $7 a day or $14 for a full day. The all-in cost is budgeted at $1.2 billion for the first four years.
• May 16, 2001: The New Democrats are defeated and James loses her seat by a mere 35 votes after a recount. After the Liberals scrap Child Care B.C. she leaves government to work with First Nations on child welfare issues, then returns to the capital to run for the NDP leadership two years later.
• Nov. 23, 2003: James wins the party leadership, defeating five other candidates on the second ballot. One of her first promises is universal child care.
• May 12, 2004: James backs away from duplicating Child Care B.C. because of the projected $1.2 billion cost. "The key question is whether the government could afford it."
• May 17, 2005: The answer to the foregoing question is "probably not." In her first campaign as leader, James offers no new provincial funding child care, only the hope of attracting $130 million from the then-federal Liberal government.
• May 12, 2009: With the Stephen Harper Conservatives in power in Ottawa, James in her second campaign is no longer counting on any federal dollars for child care. Instead her election platform promises $125 million in provincial funding spread over three years.
• May 14, 2013: New NDP leader Adrian Dix supports $10-a-day child care in principle but not in practice, saying the estimated $1.5 billion annual cost is not affordable.
James (having been ousted from the leadership in a caucus revolt) is now co-chair of the party platform committee. It promises a mere $10 million for increased child care spaces in the first year of an NDP government and a total of $100 million over three years.
• Oct. 19, 2016: After years of lowering expectations on child care funding, the New Democrats are back on the file in a big way.
"It's time families have an affordable, universal child care program in B.C., and we're going to work toward a $10-a-day program," new leader John Horgan tells reports in a preview of the platform for the coming election.
James is now the party's finance critic and likely finance minister in an NDP government. Asked how the New Democrats would cover the estimated $1.5 billion cost, Horgan says they would start by restoring a higher bracket for taxable incomes greater than $150,000. But that would raise less than $300 million and in any event (see below) the tax turned out not to be part of the funding plan.
• April 13, 2017: The New Democrats release an election platform with a centrepiece promise of universal child care at $10 a day.
Though would-be premier Horgan has suggested that full implementation might take 10 years, the platform doesn't skimp on getting a good start on funding.
There's $175 million promised for the current year, $280 million for financial year starting April 1, growing to $400 million the following year. The commitment of $855 million to child care over three years is larger than the three previous NDP election platforms put together.
• Sept 11, 2017: The first NDP government in 16 years, with Carole James presiding as Minister of Finance, presents an update on the provincial budget inherited from the departed B.C. Liberals.
But there's no sign of the promised $175 million for this, the first year, of the child care plan. Instead the finance minister's power-point presentation in the budget lockup suggests the New Democrats were making "$20 million in new child care investments."
But the $20 million is a holdover from the budget tabled in February by the B.C. Liberals and dismissed as inadequate by the New Democrats.
James blames the hold up on the power-sharing agreement with the Greens.
"You will know from the agreement we have with the Greens that we have a difference of opinion around how we get to the child program," she tells reporters. "We support the $10-a-day program. They support the principles of affordable, quality child care. We're going to have those discussions, but our commitment continues to be $10 a day."
Meanwhile that increase in personal income taxes — the one that Horgan said would help pay for $10-a-day child care — has been brought in and used to fund other spending increases in the James' budget update.
Meaning, once the New Democrats and the Greens negotiate a common understanding on affordable, quality child care, they'll also have to rustle up another source of funds, be it $1.5 billion or something less.
• Feb. 28, 2018: Scheduled date for the next provincial budget, the first full-blown one under the NDP. Also the day when child care advocates will be looking for James to finally deliver on the promises she began making 17 years ago.

Bushpig small on Blackwood base. Like their northern cousins, African bushpigs are covered in coarse hair and they mostly root up tubers, but will eat almost anything, including carrion, when they can find it. Bushpigs prefer thick forest and dense bush that is often located near water. The sow constructs a haystack-like nest in thick cover where her babies are born. The piglets have white stripes, again like the European wild pig. The bushpig is aggressive and can be dangerous if surprised in the wild and will defend itself with its razor-sharp tusks; it appears that of the predators, only the big cats are willing to take them on.

All my usb ports stopped functioning whilst I was trying to install a printer with no cd so was using the Hewlett Packard website, and said yes, to " Automatically detect product names/numbers:" Is there a known issue with this facility at their site?
The proper way to install a USB printer usually involves FIRST installing any software/drivers from the manufacturer and THEN connecting the printer. From your post I gather you connected the USB printer and then went online to the HP site for drivers.
I suggest you perform a Window restore to a point just prior to this issue. Read the article at the link below to learn how.
After you have the computer back working properly then go to the HP site and download any necessary software for your HP printer. Verify the printer can operate under WinXP at that time.
Many thanks. Yes I was prompted to plug in the printer, so it could be detected. Hence my query as to whether others have had the same problem at their site. The system restore does not work since this. Maybe its a virus. I have gleaned from the net that I could try reenabling the usb's in the bios setup. I am away from home now until the new year, but I will try that. Happy Xmas. Lynne
Assuming the USB ports were working when using the HP utility then your easiest method is to use Windows System restore to roll back to a time when all was working.
The BIOS is not going to help with that problem as it is probably a Windows 7 issue.
Why didn't you just download any required software instead of the method you used. You need to determine if your printer is Windows 7 compatible.
Try the link below for that information.
Hi, ahhhhh, its easy to be wise after the event, and of course it would have been better to have downloaded the software rather than use this hardware detection facilty at the HP site. http://welcome.hp.com/country/uk/en... If there is a known issue with it then its important that others are made aware. As their facility was running I could hear the usb ports dink and undink which made me suspicious and 100% sure that the detection facilty caused the immediate breakdown. My system restore is also not working. I am running xp service pack 2 not windows 7. I have resinstalled the usb drivers, and device manager says "this device is working properly". I have tried a whole range of usb devices and none of them do work or make the system dink. I am at a loss as to how to proceed,
Then you could try removing all the USB ports from within Device Manager and then rebooting.
Knowing what hardware we are dealing with would be helpful. Post your system specs.
Thanks to all who offered help with this, but now I have given up and instead bought a PCMCIA cardbus that slots into the laptop and effectively creates 2 usb ports. 99 pence on ebay. Job done!

Mobile phones have a powerful role to play in advancing literacy and nurturing a culture of reading in the developing world, according to a new report published last week by UNESCO. The Reading in the Mobile Era report is the most extensive survey of digital reading habits yet published outside of the developed world. It polled 4000 consumers across seven countries and paints a detailed picture of who reads what and why on their mobile phones, before going on to make several recommendations as to how these promising early developments could be turned into coherent strategies designed to get more people reading.
In the introduction to the report, UNESCO justifies its decision to pin the future of literacy on the basis that it's the most ubiquitous communications technology of all time. According to United Nations data it cites, in a world of 7 billion people an estimated 6 billion now have access to a mobile phone - even though only 4.5 billion have access to a toilet. Its very ubiquity means that the mobile phone is available in environments where books are scarce. Moreover, as smartphones make up an ever growing proportion of those mobile phones, and even simpler 'feature' phones are capable of accessing the web and other web services, these technologies are gradually driving a change in the way we communicate with one another. This change has had the unintended benefit of making reading a more important and desirable skill. As The Guardian said in its own write-up of this report 'with very little fanfare, the dominant mode of expression in much of the western world has switch from speech to text; as that switch moves to developing countries, it can only be a good thing for literacy'.
UNESCO's report, which was compiled in collaboration with Nokia and a web-based reading platform called Worldreader, tracks this transition in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Zimbabwe and yielded some encouraging results. For example, one of its key findings was that while women were still substantially under-represented in terms of mobile phone ownership (21% less likely than a man to own a phone in low to middle income countries, according to GSMA data), those that did own or use mobile phones were significantly more likely to use them for reading long-form text. While the average male user spent 33 minutes a month reading on their mobile phone, the average female user spent 207 minutes on mobile reading. Women did 66% of the all of the reading that took place during the three months of the study, despite only making up 23% of the total readers.
Another area where digital reading habits in the developing world appear to track those in the developed was convenience. 67% of people participating in the study said they chose to read on their phone because it was a device they always kept with them, and thus more accessible than paper books. It also appeared that giving people the ability to read on a phone had a measurable positive effect on their attitude to reading. 66% of participants who said they liked reading before they started the study reported that they liked to read even more now they could do it on their phones. An even more remarkable change took place in the attitudes of people who, on starting the study, claimed they didn't like reading. 62% of these participants said that having the ability to read using their phone made them like the activity more.
One important caveat to put on the conclusions drawn by the report is that the content on Worldreader's platform is largely English language books. It does go some way to redress this in the text of the report, however, where it makes prominent calls for governments and publishers to commission and publish more local language content as a means of driving literacy.
The full UNESCO report is available on its website and throws a fascinating spotlight on reading habits in places that have the potential to leapfrog the print era altogether and become digital-first markets. What's more, the data gathered by UNESCO and Worldreader suggests that the mere fact of making books available on a ubiquitous technology has some potential to lift the tide of reading and bring a whole new category of reader into the market.
