Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of geriatric nursing program requirements.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Angelo State University.
To become a Registered Nurse (RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, the nurse anesthetist program provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including geriatric nursing and mental health counseling. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. Job openings in geriatric nursing are projected to grow 25% over the coming decade. The average salary for nurses with an associates degree was $43,700 in 2015, while geriatric nurses with a bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period for the nurse anesthetist program varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital geriatric nursing floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, an accelerated BSN program may be offered on-site.

The smell of "something dead' lingered around an old moving truck found parked in Fresno on a recent boiling hot day, officials said.
The odor was enough to prompt a resident to notify local authorities.
When animal control officers arrived about 3 p.m. Friday, they "found a horrific situation:" 955 birds, rabbits, piglets, guinea pigs and other small critters in the back of the truck, according to the Fresno Humane Animal Services.
The temperature reached 107 in the back of the truck where the animals were tightly packed with no access to water, the nonprofit rescue organization said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is headed to Charlotte Sunday after days of protests, according to WSOC.
"I think any big figure that comes into our community right now would be a great thing," Charlotte resident Marjorie Fischer told Channel 9.
The signs of protest are still fresh in Charlotte and the death of Keith Scott on the minds of many.
Channel 9 asked Charlotte residents about their thoughts on the candidate addressing the recent turmoil in the city.
"I'd be surprised if she didn't talk about it," Brian Wolfman said, "but I think she'd be foolish to spend too much time on it."

Pass-Fail Marks for New York Rangers' Top Stars as 2013-14 Season Winds DownMarch 19, 2014
Pass-Fail Marks for New York Rangers' Top Stars as 2013-14 Season Winds Down
The New York Rangers are in a bitter fight for the playoffs. As the 2013-14 season winds down, the team will need its top stars to come up big.
How have the team's biggest and most important players done so far? Are they living up to expectations and their hefty contracts, or are they not doing their part?
In the following slideshow, we'll assess the performance of the Rangers' top stars this year, giving a "pass" or "fail" mark as the regular season nears its end.
Henrik Lundqvist: Pass
Yes, the first three months of his season were absolutely awful.
Yes, there were questions about whether or not the team should extend his contract.
Yes, there were times when Cam Talbot looked like the better goaltender.
However, that can be dismissed. Since his dismal December, Lundqvist has played like one of the best goaltenders in hockey. It's no surprise that the Rangers have played some of their best hockey while Lundqvist was playing some of his best.
When the season is over, he's not going to be happy with his numbers. A 2.50 goals-against average is decidedly un-Lundqvistian.
With that said, he's done his part to put his team in playoff contention. He was particularly good against San Jose on Sunday, allowing just one goal against one of the best teams in the league.
Lundqvist is still one of the best goaltenders in the world and he will be a key factor in any playoff push the Rangers make. It has not been an easy season for the Swedish netminder, but he's straightened out his game at the right time.
Rick Nash: Fail
Nash has certainly had some great stretches this year.
He was utterly dominant when he scored 11 goals in January. However, he's scored just twice since. That's not good enough.
"It's not where I want to be," Nash told Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record. "When I'm struggling scoring it's the same things. I've got to get back to the inside. The last couple of games I've been stuck on the outside and I haven't been getting my chances."
The Rangers need Nash to be better. They need him to get numerous quality chances per game. They need him to be a difference-maker.
There have been flashes, for sure, and it's hard to say where the Rangers would be if Nash didn't carry them in January.
With that said, if they want to make the playoffs and a deep run in the postseason, they will need Nash to be better. It's that simple.
His two-goal game against Ottawa was a start, but one game does not a season make. If he can produce consistently throughout the rest of the season, then his grade will turn into a "pass."
Brad Richards: Pass
Given what the Rangers are paying Brad Richards, 46 points just isn't good enough.
Given how poorly he played last season, however, 46 points is a revelation.
Last season, Richards had 34 points in 46 games. This year, he has 17 power-play points and 16 goals. He has taken more shots and been more confident on the power play, as he quarterbacks the league's 12th-ranked unit.
Is he doing enough to live up to his contract? No. Has he been a useful and important player? Absolutely. This season has been a completely different story for Richards. Since the trade of Ryan Callahan, he's taken on more of a leadership role.
He is a vitally important player to this team and the Rangers will need him to continue to produce.
Ryan McDonagh: Pass
Ryan McDonagh is probably the Rangers' MVP.
The 24-year-old averages nearly 25 minutes a game, shutting down the opposition's best players. He is also taking on more of an offensive role, as evidenced by his 12 goals and 25 assists, giving him a career high in points.
McDonagh shuts down his side of the ice. He is an incredible skater, so he is never truly out of position. He plays in all situations and has allowed the Rangers to overcome a number of turnovers by the skill players.
Without McDonagh, it's hard to imagine where the Rangers would be. He should be in the Norris Trophy conversation given how well he's played.
Other than Lundqvist, McDonagh is probably the Rangers' most important player. Having a shutdown defender like him is incredibly valuable come playoff time.
Martin St. Louis: Fail
It's impossible to judge a player after eight games.
But when a team gives up so much to get said player, it doesn't matter how many games are played. That player will be judged.
So it is for Marty St. Louis. The winger has yet to score a goal for his new team, only registering three assists over that span.
He spoke with Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record about his troubles:
Obviously I'd love to have more production to speak about but there's a lot of games in the past where I played way worse and somehow you find some production so you have to be honest in your assessment. Am I playing great? No. but I've played way worse than this. I think every day I feel better. I think it's going to get like that. Every day it's going to get better.
St. Louis has been getting chances, some glorious ones included. He has been making some incredible passes and his speed has reverberated throughout the lineup.
However, the Rangers have scored two or fewer goals or in four of his eight games with the club. The Rangers brought St. Louis in to improve the offense. If anything, it's remained the same.
Therefore, he needs to pick up his game. Maybe it'll click one game. It's hard to join a new team and make an immediate impact, no matter how talented you are.
Make no mistake, St. Louis is talented. That has been on display in every game he's played in New York. For now, though, his performance has simply not been good enough.

World Environment Day 2017 Celebration
The Honourabe Minister of State for Environment, Alhaji Ibrahim Usman Jibril says the ministry is poised to ensure that the environment sector becomes a major revenue earner for the country.
The minister made this known during the commemoration of the 2017 edition of the World Environment Day held at the Sarius Palmetum Garden, Abuja.
Alhaji Jibril said "the environment sector through the eco-tourism industry should, as a matter of fact, contribute more towards the diversification of the economy more than the entertainment industry in Nigeria".
He disclosed that the Ministry was working extra hard with " relevant institutions to facilitate the engagement of women and youth driving the implementation of activities in the sector to explore additional funds and investment opportunities provided by this government in the on-going social intervention programmes in order to stem unemployment"
He said government remains unrelenting in efforts to address the concerns of climate change, drought and desertification, biodiversity loss, deforestation, land degradation, flood and erosion, pollution, sanitation and waste management, etc in the country.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Coccidioidomycosis is the infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Coccidioides immitis. The history of the identification of this organism and the clinical study of the infections caused by this agent have been the subject of a number of comprehensive reviews.1-2 Although it was initially believed that coccidioidomycosis was an invariably lethal infection, by the mid-1930s, it was recognized that the organism was in fact responsible for a very common, acute, and generally self-limited disease that was known as the San Joaquin Valley fever. In regions where coccidioidomycosis is endemic, Valley fever continues to be an important public health problem. In addition, coccidioidomycosis has emerged in recent years as an important cause of disease in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. ++ The life cycle of C immitis is complex (reviewed in Parish and Blair4) and demonstrates 2 distinct phases: a saprophytic (vegetative) phase and a parasitic phase. In soil, the organism grows as a mycelium, with branching septated hyphae. As they mature, the mycelia develop rectangular spores (arthroconidia); at this stage, the hyphae become very fragile, and arthroconidia easily become airborne. When inhaled, the arthroconidia begin the parasitic phase, and spherules form. Spherules are round, double-walled structures that reproduce by formation of spherical internal spores, termed endospores. A single spherule may produce thousands of endospores, and as the spherule ruptures, each endospore may in turn develop into a new spherule, perpetuating the parasitic phase. ++ Epidemiology ++ In general, C immitis appears to be confined to the Western hemisphere. The endemic areas lie in the southwestern United States, encompassing west Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The organism can also be found in northwestern Mexico and a few small areas of Central and South America. These endemic areas have arid climates, hot summers, few winter freezes, low altitude, and alkaline soil—ecological conditions that favor C immitis. The organism is drought resistant, and periodic increases in cases are observed when prolonged drought is followed by periods of heavy rain. Arthroconidia may become airborne after windstorms or disruption of soil by farming or construction work. Since infection requires that arthroconidia be inhaled, person-to-person transmission does not play a role in acquisition of coccidioidomycosis. ++ Hospitalizations for coccidioidomycosis are common, particularly in endemic areas. County of residence, older age, black race, male sex, intercurrent HIV infection, and pregnancy are all risk factors strongly associated with an increased risk for hospitalization.5 ++ Clinical Manifestations ++ Pulmonary Infection ++ The primary portal of entry in most patients is the lung, although the organism may enter through the skin. Accordingly, signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection represent the major clinical manifestations of acute coccidioidomycosis in most patients.6 Pulmonary coccidioidomycosis occurs in 95% of all cases. The majority of individuals with acute coccidioidomycosis will have either asymptomatic infection or mild upper respiratory tract symptoms. Approximately ...

In the early 1970s, Ralph Tait had an idea. So he went into his garage in Bend, Oregon and began tinkering. Several weeks and a few blisters later, he emerged with a revolutionary design for the first A-frame pop-up camper.
It was sensible. It was different. And it was light enough to be towed with just about any vehicle. Friends wanted one. Family wanted one. Friends of family wanted one. As word of mouth spread, Ralph found himself making more campers out of his garage. That's when Ralph's sons had their own bright idea. Why not turn this hobby into a real business?
The family moved to Pennsylvania and began making Aliner campers. Two brothers would build one. The third brother would hitch it to the family station wagon and drive across the country until he sold it. When he returned, the brothers would have another Aliner waiting. After years of hard work and several hundred thousand miles on the poor station wagon, the family retired in 2007. Today we continue to build every Aliner with the same quality, craftsmanship and pride as Ralph and his sons did for over 30 years.

A Tennessee man allegedly stole a $13,000 tractor in Somerset and then brought it back the next day after police posted video of the theft on Facebook, but the return didn't get him out of hot water.
On Wednesday, the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office charged Derek L. Cross, 35, of Winfield with stealing the tractor.
The case started Monday about 10 p.m., when someone stole a Mahindra 2816 tractor and attached bush hog from the Southern Oaks Funeral Home.
A security camera at the funeral home recorded video of the theft. The sheriff's office posted the video on Facebook and released it to media outlets Tuesday.
Sometime during the night Tuesday, the thief brought the tractor back to the funeral home undamaged, according to a news release.
The sheriff's office received several tips about the identity of the person in the video, which led investigators to interview Cross. He confessed, according to a news release.
Cross said he had seen the tractor while passing the funeral home on his way back to Tennessee from the giant U.S. 127 yard sale, said Lt. Detective Brett Whitaker.
Cross admitted he went home and got a trailer, and stole a key from a dealership to fit the tractor at the funeral home so he could start it and load it, Whitaker said.
Cross said he decided to return the tractor because he and his family had seen the video of the theft on Facebook, according to a news release.
"The heat got too much for him," Whitaker said.
Police believe Cross acted alone in the theft.
He was being held Wednesday in the Pulaski County Detention Center. No bond had been set.

Visiting the Baldock Solar Station, just off Interstate 5 about 20 miles south of Portland, I was reminded of something a friend told me earlier this summer.
He had just returned from Italy where, along the way in rural areas, he was struck by the many solar arrays dotting the countryside. These weren't monstrosities, I gathered from what he said, but were good-sized power producers scattered amid orchards, vineyards and other crops. It wasn't like here, he said – and this might demonstrate our West Coast point of view – where beyond urban and suburban rooftop systems we think of solar power as coming in the form of massive arrays blanketing thousands of acres in the desert.
Perhaps installations like Baldock will herald more projects that are significant but not overwhelmingly large (although, it should be noted, not everyone thinks even a 1-megawatt array in the Italian countryside is so charming). There certainly are cost advantages to producing solar power closer to where it will be used, instead of hundreds of miles away. But beyond that, there might be value to keeping our new sources of power visible, or at least not hiding them. Baldock suggested to me that built amid our everyday lives, big solar — if it's not too big — can serve an important function beyond the power provided, reminding us that we're all energy users, and that there are solutions.
Baldock is a 1.75 megawatt system. Its sponsors, the Oregon Department of Transportation and Portland General Electric, call it "the nation's largest solar highway project." But standing next to it – a sprawling, tall-tree-shaded highway rest stop on one side, a cornfield on the other — it seemed neither out of scale nor obtrusive.
The system consists of 6,994 SolarWorld 250-watt panels. A 4-kilowatt home system would have 16 panels, so there's a lot of silicon out there at the I-5 rest stop, and the panels cover between six and seven acres.

Week 2 Predictions
Tyler - Mississippi State @ Baylor - Justin
Yet to see Tyler play with Mississippi State. Regardless, its very easy to argue that they are the top team on paper. Tyler saw a lot of improvement at the end of last season and if he can force Justin to make mistakes Mississippi's team will be too much to overcome.
Tyler wins 42-21
David - Michigan State @ Auburn - Josh
A lot of people had their doubts about Josh coming into the season. He ranked 8th in the preseason poll after a winless season. However, he has improved immensely and has a decent team to work with. Josh will be a forced to be reckon with towards the end of the season, but as long as David doesn't make mistakes he will be too much for Josh. Josh will start out strong, but he will end up falling towards the end.
David wins 42-17
Andrew - Ole Miss @ Landon - Oregon
A re-match of a playoff game. In the league they have a 1-1 record against each other. In the regular season, Landon mercy ruled Andrew, but Andrew came back in the playoffs to knock out Landon in the first round. Both of the teams are pretty evenly matched, however, Andrew offense is pretty one dimensional. If Landon can stop the run, he will run all over Andrew with Oregon's offense. Until Andrew can develop a solid passing game he will get beat out in these close games.
Landon wins 35-31
Alex - Alabama @ Dylan - Florida State
A re-match of last season's championship game. Alex is coming off a solid win over Justin, while Dylan struggled to get past Josh in week 1. The key will be minimizing mistakes and finding ways to make stops on defense. Momentum will be crucial to the outcome of the game.

Economic data today has been positive if underwhelming and has been met with a suitably low-key response by market participants on Wall Street: the major US stock index benchmarks were largely unchanged by early afternoon in New York. The Dow Jones edged up 7 points or 0.05% higher to 16,486, while the S&P 500 slipped back 0.11% to 1839.3.
With just one more trading day left in the year, it's a natural time for taking stock of how far we have come in the last 12 months: the S&P is on course for its fourth monthly gain in a row, some 29% higher than where the index began the year.That is the best performance for the index since 1997.
US pending home sales nudged higher in November according to the National Association of Realtors, who today said their pending home sales index crept up to 101.7 from October's downwardly-revised level of 101.5, a gain of just 0.2%. Existing home sales have been extremely sluggish in the second half of 2013, with rising mortgage rates and home prices working to constrain the market. The Case-Shiller home price index is released tomorrow for October, with further advances in prices expected, which could continue to weigh on sales.
The euro gained 0.41% against the US dollar, after an article in Der Spiegel quoted ECB President Mario Draghi as playing down eurozone deflation worries and saying no further action is required by the central bank yet. 'At the moment we see no immediate need to act,' said Draghi.

The ink on President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran is hardly dry, yet the mullahs already make it plain they'll take the $100 billion windfall and run.
Tehran is a thorn in its region's side, and that was never going to change, with or without a deal. It funds paramilitary groups, terrorists and death squads. It has extended its influence far into Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon.
But on Sunday, the ayatollahs did something more brazen in the context of its deal with the western powers. It conducted a test of its new Imad missile, an act clearly forbidden under a 2010 United Nations resolution. This test was intended to make a statement to intimidate other regional powers, including the oil-rich Sunni Muslim nations to its south and Israel to its west.
Iran's theocratic regime then followed up this missile test with a further round of saber-rattling. It broadcast on state television images of a massive underground missile facility. Brig-Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guard aerospace division, delivered a menacing commentary on the reasons Iran seems to be gearing up for war. He announced that Iran has several such facilities buried 500 meters underground, and that "if enemies make a mistake, missile bases will erupt like a volcano from the depth of earth."
He added that those keeping "options on the table," the phrase used by Obama and others to describe military options if Iran violates the nuclear deal, should be aware of Iran's options "under the table."Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

Huye, formerly known as Butare, is a city with a population of approximately 350,000 (city and surrounds) in the Southern Province of Rwanda. It was the formal colonial capital of Rwanda.
The city of Huye has long been regarded as the intellectual capital of the country, while Kigali holds most political power. The Belgian colonial rulers named the city Astrida in honor of Queen Astrid of Belgium.
Butare Cathedral was a gift from the Belgian King Albert and Queen Astrid. It was erected between 1936 and 1937 with the intention of making Astrida the capital of Rwanda-Urundi protectorate; native porters laboriously carried building materials from Congo and Nyungwe Forest. This great church, the largest in Rwanda, was built to help strengthen Christianity as well as the power of the then Belgian colonial administration.
The first Catholic mission in 1900 in the country lies only a few kilometers from the town center at Save Hill.
Huye is well known for the National Ethnographic Museum of Rwanda, built in the early 1990s and an excellent source of information on the cultural history of the country and the region. It houses one of Africa's finest ethnographic museum collections, both pre and post-colonial archaeological and artistic artifacts and photographs – a rich insight into Rwandan culture with displays of farming, hunting, fishing, pottery and dress from long-ago times.
The Groupe Scolaire in Huye is the largest and oldest secondary school in Rwanda having been founded in 1929 by the Brothers of Charity to educate Rwandans to assist the Belgian colonial administration.
Huye is home to the largest university in Rwanda, the National University of Rwanda. The university focuses on Science, Technology and Humanities with the language of instruction both French and English.
The nine faculties comprise a Faculty of Medicine, Agriculture, Arts / Media and Social Sciences, Applied Sciences, Law, Science Economics and Management, School of Public Health and School for Foundation Language Skills
In the grounds of the University lies a 200-hectare Arboretum established in 1934 by the colonial government of Rwanda-Burundi as an international scientific project and to serve as a source of exotic tree seed to solve the supply crisis for timber in Rwanda. The Arboretum now belongs to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of Rwanda and is home to around 210 species of stately 60-year-old trees alive with birds, bats, monkeys and gazelles; 50 Ha. are given to protected natural indigenous trees and bush, similar to Nyungwe Forest. There are fantastic walks and the opportunity to learn about bee keeping and the fish farm project adjacent to the forest, all within the centre of the town of Huye.
The Rwandan National Institute of Scientific Research can be found in Huye – a scientific institution that plays an important role in science and technology in Rwanda. The institute has worked with the National University of Rwanda in the Phytomedicine and Life Sciences Research Plan that began research into pharmacopeia and traditional medicine in the country at the National University of Rwanda in 1972 in the Faculty of Medicine. The Rwandan National Institute of Scientific Research later became involved and also collaborates with researchers from the National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) and researchers from the Institute of Agronomic Sciences of Rwanda (ISAR).
It is also home to the Stade Huye (Butare Stadium) in downtown Huye with a capacity of 20,000.

Ages ago, at my first-year law school orientation, my classmates were told "If you only know the law, then you do not know the law at all." I took the words to heart as I made my way through law school, through law practice and, now, into law teaching. The Cosmopolitan Lawyer lists readings, many non-law, which are influencing my thinking about law. It is my effort to be, and to encourage others to be, more cosmopolitan--and, thus, less parochial--in thinking about law.

Edward J. Larson, An Empire of Ice: Scott, Shackleton, and The Heroic Age of Antarctic Science (New Haven & London: Yale U. Press, 2011) ("When I tell friends that I'm writing a book about the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration, they typically respond in one of two ways. Some say how much they admire Ernest Shackleton's leadership style, while others question Robert Scott's tactics in trying to reach the South Pole first. Both responses are telling. A century after their exploits, these two men are still widely known for their personal achievements, but their fame rests largely on how they dealt with adversity in their efforts to reach the geographical South Pole. That, most people assume, is why they went to Antarctica; much else about their expedition is forgotten." "This book is neither a paean to Shackleton's leadership nor a critique of Scott's choices. It is about what was central to British efforts in the Antarctic. In the era before World War I, when Antarctic exploration was largely a British project, that project was largely concerned with science." Id. at ix.).

Flavoursome Favours Guaranteed to Please
Choosing wedding favours that everyone will love and enjoy, but also fit in well with your wedding can be hard to find. Making each individual one yourself can be time consuming as well as expensive, and are often forgotten at the end of the night.
The traditional of a wedding favour seems to be taking a turn and being twisted to fit a modern wedding; the trend for homemade tipples leaves out little ones and can take more time and effort than you originally anticipate. It's time to bring back the wedding tradition and thank each guest with a small gift they are guaranteed to love.

Scout Comics Presents… Mindbender
Writer James Pruett and artist Federico De Luca join forces to introduce the reality warping psychological thriller Mindbender releasing this May from Scout Comics.
Mindbender follows Alex Oberman who at the age of seven witnessed the gruesome deaths of his parents in a horrendous explosion caused by his own hands-or to be more precise-his own mind. This tragedy caused him to slip into a catatonic state and withdraw into himself. For over 16 years, Alex doesn't utter a single word or have a voluntary movement of his own until a young assistant is hired at the Branch Institute and he suddenly awakens and finds himself welding a god-like power and presence that his still young mind seems incapable of understanding. Possessing the physical form of a 23-year-old, but the mental capacity of a 7-year-old he isn't sure how to properly harness his new-found abilities; thus he seeks sanctuary and wisdom from a small collected group of misfits and outcasts that seemed to be expecting his ascension. Alex finds many questions swirling through his mind, but none more poignant than whether his diagnosed insanity was, in actuality, his salvation from the madness that seems to run rampant through this new world he has awaken within. In fact, the more he discovers, the more he wonders that perhaps it is not him that suffers from insanity, but that the entire world itself has fallen into the realms of madness.
Mindbender is a thought-provoking journey through the realms of reality and madness exploring the potential power lying dormant in the mind and the barriers that separate our world from the worlds between worlds both dimensionally and mentally.
Mindbender is published monthly beginning in May 2017 by Scout Comics and is available to order with Diamond codes MAR171996 for the Federico De Luca cover and MAR171997 for the Matthew Dow Smith cover. The Phil Hester cover is available as a special retailer incentive cover.

text: Long awaited results have finally been posted on the Area 12web site, for the Winter dressage team competition on February 3rd at Pontispool. It's always nice to know where you finish even if you are not placed! BK sent a team of 4, 2 doing Prelim tests were Sarah Urch on Todd and Anna James on Jimmy and 2 doing a Novice test were Bev Gore on Puzzle and Amanda Williams (ne Jarvis) on Tia. Anna was up first at 09.48 and the first challenge was the car park, not a lot of one, the chap doing the parking had his work cut out as they were not allowing anything on the grass, still too wet. Jimmy did a ok test, still a bit tense but getting better and scored a respectable 62.92 finishing 19th overall. In the other arena Barry being an old hand took it all in his stride and produced a very respectable 61.67 for Sarah, finishing 16th overall in her arena. The novice tests were in the afternoon and we did wave to Bev and Amanda on the M5 as we passed both of them as we were going home!! In the Novice arenas Bev and Puzzle finished 9th on 68.53 and Amanda and Tia finished 11th on 68.53, they were both on identical scores, how spooky! BK finished 16th out of 28 teams so not a bad effort . A big Thank you to those who took part and flew the flag for BK

The "Daredevil" Twitter account has unleashed the final trailer for the Netflix series ahead of its release this Friday.

The trailer even teases that Daredevil (Charlie Cox) will come into conflict with his former lover, Elektra. And while the last trailer revealed that the Hand will play a part in the season, this one goes all in on deadly ninja action.
All thirteen episodes of "Daredevil" season two arrive on Netflix on Friday, March 18.

text: Let's get a grip here. Based on what we've seen so far, Bush is in no danger of losing his job. In fact, if this controversy continues, W. will likely go up in the polls. Why? Because the American people want to be safe. And they will surrender some of their rights to be safer. That political reality may infuriate hard-core civil libertarians, but it's true during all periods of wartime.

Thorne Moors – Catherine Caufield with photos by Fay Godwin
This little book published by The Sumach Press captures the sad story of Thorne Moors, a peat bog classified as a SSSI which supports 4000 species of plants and animals and is one of our rarest habitats in this country.
For many years man's impact was minimal. Digging peat by hand created a variety of mini habitats which actually increased the diversity of the moors but then, through a series of, possibly illegal, manoeuvres by wealthy individuals, the moors stopped being common property and became owned by one company, which since 1963 was Fisons, a company which made Levington compost.
In the years prior to selling the moor to another horticulture company Fisons destroyed much of the areas wildlife value by draining, surface milling and putting roads through the moorland and all so people could grow larger tomatoes in its peat rich compost. This book tells a familiar tale of big business raping the countryside but also a great story of how one eccentric amateur expert William Bunting fought to have the wildlife value of the moor recognised and the area protected.
I'm not sure they make William Buntings any more. Born in 1916 this was the original eco warrior. He set up his own group of direct action protestors, Buntings Beavers, who set out each weekend to damn the drains that Fisons were cutting. Bunting also stalked the moors with an old revolver tearing down barriers placed across footpaths. He was by all accounts crotchety and didn't suffer fools. I hope I have half his courage to fight for what is right.
William Bunting taught himself Latin and Middle English in order to fight Fisons through the courts. He managed to get footpaths re-instated and forced the company to allow some of his dams to remain in place. Fisons were forced to give a passing nod to conservation interests after bad publicity and eventually gave 8000 acres of peatland to Natural England. Thorne Moors is the story of how one man with enough determination can make a difference.
Revolution – Russell Brand
Russell Brand? Never gave him much thought until recently. He was just some quite funny bloke with a massive ego and a lot of women. Then I heard he was actually a troubled soul who wanted to start a revolution and build Utopia and he began to sound like my kind of man.
I watched his documentary, The Emperors New Clothes and came away fired up, wanting to do something but not knowing quite where to direct this energy. I feel the same way after reading his book Revolution.
Revolution sets forth a case as to why our present economic and governmental system is exploiting ordinary people to make profit for a few wealthy men and women. It sets out what the alternative could be and it makes these arguments accessible. So far, so good.
True, Russell Brand is not the most coherent of writers. He goes off on rambling asides which sometimes seem to lead nowhere. The sort of stories which probably work much better in Stand Up than in print. However, he does make ideas which could be dry and hard work, readable. He uses his fame and notoriety in well intentioned ways and I won't knock him for that.
I don't agree with all of Russ's ideas but by half way through I'm thinking, 'Great, Fantastic, we're going to start a socially and ecologically sound collective. Where do I sign? Where do I start? What's step one?' Problem is, Russell Brand's book never tells me.
The man himself would know doubt say that, if he sets himself up as a leader to follow then it is against the principle of a collective, but as he never gives us any ideas of where the ordinary person in the street should begin then I'm left feeling demoralised. Feeling that I am being done over by all these rich people and am powerless to stop it.
Another chapter or two giving some grass roots ideas and organisations to get the ball rolling would have been really useful. A few tips on how to stop paying your taxes and avoid jail would also have been helpful. Revolutions need talk, personally I think they probably also need leaders but what they need most of all is action.
Fingers in the Sparkle Jar – Chris Packham
Chris Packham's memoir is a book about a lonely, troubled, isolated child who is at his happiest when he is out in the fields and woods discovering wildlife. A boy who is the freaky kid in school, probably a worry to his parents but who has far more potential than anyone else around him.
If you were this kid, read this book. If you are the parents of a child who you suspect may just be this kid, read this book. If you expect a media friendly anecdote about a happy boy who came to be a television presenter, maybe stay clear.
Fingers in the Sparkle Jar is an unbelievably, bloody, brave book which it is hard to believe anyone with a public profile would have written. I suspect that if this had not been written by a 'celebrity' it wouldn't have been published which says far more about the lack of bravery in publishing houses than it does about Chris's ability to write as the book is very well written with beautiful descriptions of nature and brilliant observation of Britain in the 1970's with all it's hot, dusty and disconnected edge.
The book jumps around between times and perspectives but keeps it cohesion and the odd structure feels appropriate for the subject, sometimes you are in Chris's head, sometimes you are observing him from someone else's viewpoint. I think if you are deeply internalised then this is how you view the world.
This book resonated with me on so many levels. I frankly was that child or one very like it. It took me right back to being an isolated and bullied girl in a rough comprehensive and finding solace in nature books. It bought home the absolute necessity of being completely honest in your writing because only then can you reach out to others who feel the same way and give them something of real value.
This is a valuable book. It is a brave and important book. It makes me want to stand up and applaud this man and then possibly follow him around for the rest of his life and say 'thank you.'
Deer Island – Neil Ansell
Just finished reading Deer Island and loved its simplicity and sadness. I have a habit of meeting and gravitating towards people such as those Neil describes. People who have lived in squats, who have lived rough, who have given up on planning life as life has a habit of scattering plans to dust.
Neil tells a story I understand; drifting between helping the homeless and being homeless, of falling into chaos and finding years of your life swept in a whirlpool vaster than the Gulf of Corrywreckan he visits. I liked the way he chose to tell this story, not as some Eastenders melodrama, wailing, 'me and my poor life.' but, instead with an undercurrent of responsibility for his own choices.
This is not nature writing but an account of a tumultuous life which drove him to seek, if only for a brief time, solitude on a remote Scottish island, to maybe close a chapter and find some resolution within himself to the sadness of seeing people he had come to care about die of poverty, squalor and addiction.
This is not nature writing but at times the exquisite simplicity of it made me want to cry. Neil's account of finding two otter cub skeletons in a cave was told with a sparseness that made it truly moving.
You are left wondering what happened to this man after he left his island. The books final line says he has never been good at keeping hold of things, which makes you feel he is still searching for his answer.
Neil Ansell says, 'security is an illusion. Everything you have can be snatched away in an instant.' Lord, I know this to be true but, despite its truth, I found myself hoping that he finds some security.
H is for Hawk – Helen Macdonald
We've all done it. Dismissed a book based on the hype without ever opening the front cover. I was all poised to read this and be a bit sneery but, within the first few pages I changed my mind.
There was something real and honest in Helen Macdonald I hadn't expected to find. Despite the reviews I don't think this book is a work of dark genius. It's not The Peregrine. I did not find it a hard, difficult, painful read but a simple account of grief and the desire to withdraw from the world.
Maybe it says something about me that I found so much in this book I could relate to. That the author's desire to hide out with a hawk, lose herself in the wild, bury herself in non human instincts was something I could sympathise with.
I like the unapologetic way she deals with many of the issues this book covers. She doesn't get bogged down in the ethics of killing animals it is just something she does. She takes responsibility for ending an animal's life and she eats what she kills. Maybe at times you do feel uneasy about her lack of comment on the contrast between her own sustainable hunting and the pheasant shoots whose rearing pens her hawk plunders but ultimately the ethics of hunting is not what this book sets out to explore.
I also appreciated the lack of melodrama when talking about her grief and depression and her realisation that she can't continue to hide out in the wilderness but needs people in her life.
If you are one of the people who have become sick of hearing about this book and actively avoided it then think again. Ignore the hype and enjoy the book for what it is. A simple and well written book from a women, who you sense, never sought the limelight.
John Betjeman's Collected Poems
I have fallen in love with John Betjeman. It is my usual crush, an unobtainable man (in this case long dead!) with whom I feel a kinship.
In his collected poems, first published in 1958, Betjeman is nostalgic for a vanishing Britain and so am I. I am told that nostalgia is wrong, that we must all embrace sustainable progress into a modern Britain I want no part of.
Instead I am drawn to Betjeman's world of tennis played on the lawns of country houses and hills lined with elm trees. A less peopled country of winding roads with fewer cars and more detail.
I seek Betjeman's world on long cycles through wintry lanes, in quiet woods and parish churches. I close my eyes to much of modern Britain and instead seek a country that offers food for the soul, that enriches not erodes.
But in Betjeman I do not find a poet of the past, despite being dead for over twenty years, many of his collected poems come across as surprisingly relevant. He depicts a countryside trashed by pylons and ugly developments and ugly values. A world of nature and depth consumed by plastic and triviality. Betjeman's poems seem more than relevant in an era where all the little weedy paradises where children once played and learned to love nature are consumed by a tide of cheaply thrown up housing estates which will lock children into their box rooms to stare at computer screens and learn to shop.
Betjeman's poems have an air of sadness, of knowing the fight against the destruction of all you love in your country is fruitless, it will be destroyed by politicians and planners and developers. As our wild places are gobbled up by housing at an alarming rate then Betjeman is a reminder of what beauty we threw away.
Memorious Earth, A Longitudinal Study – Autumn Richardson and Richard Skelton
Memorious Earth is a beautifully presented slice of Cumbria, a Cumbria both under our feet but often overlooked and a Cumbria lost and remembered only in name.
Reading this book was like stepping into a cool bath on a hot day, like stepping off of an over packed tube train and walking through a clean, airy museum of beauty and thought. Throughout the pages ordinary bits of the countryside are bottled and presented as things of importance, as museum exhibits, ordinary life, which could be lost just as the raven and the lapwing and the wolf has been lost from the landscape.
This book mixes scientific facts with folklore and poetry. It felt like a justification for my own relationship with the countryside. So often, those working in conservation can look at things in isolation and be terribly level headed. If, when out doing my survey work, I come across a really amazing plant filled river, I know I am meant to be sensible and scientific and start working out the names of everything and their relative importance, when what I really think is "wow, that's how the past looked," and this is often followed by a desire to engage, to slip into the river and discover it with fingers and toes, to taste it, to entwine myself in it. Am I odd? undoubtedly. Afterwards I will pull myself out and discover the names of things. The names can be a wonder in themselves but they can also be dry. Science can increase knowledge but reduce wonder. Science can both expand and diminish.
Autumn Richardson and Richard Skelton in Memorious Earth take the science but also create wonder. Tree rings created from ancient languages felt like reaching in and touching the trees memory of all the people who have stood next to it and spoken its name. A photograph of a bone. A wolf bone? (please don't tell me if i'm wrong) seemed like a holy relic, a reminder that the English wolf was once real and walked the earth.
There is something in this work that makes it tangible, that makes it reach out and place a finger on you. It unsettles you, it affects you. It is the heavy weight of absence. This becomes particularly clear in the last section, The Medicine Earth, when you sense the tred of 'the harmful one that throughout the land roams." you feel the unseen presence that flickers just out of sight and you feel the overwhelming sadness and hopelessness behind the words 'this shall be whole again.' a mantra, as if by saying it enough times, it might make it true.
The book is a beauty, a puzzle, a riddle to slip into.
Silt Road, The Story of a Lost River – Charles Rangeley- Wilson
I read this book in superfast time, drawn on by its underlying melancholy. A sadness of the author both for the buried and brutalised river whose history he charts and a personal sadness, hinted at but, with admirable constraint, never quite revealed.
As someone who has worked on many river restoration projects and known the teeth grinding frustration of coming up against official inertia, short sightedness and profit margins, as if these were something I personally was supposed to care about, then I fully understood Rangeley-Wilson's anger at the tiny, self interested decisions made by councillors with hands in developers pockets. Decisions which then go on to suck the life out of a town and its inhabitants for a long time to come.
The story of the River Wye in High Wycombe, that this book uncovers, could be the story of so many of our rivers. Essential to the towns that grew up around them, bound up in our history, once beautiful and then lost under concrete. It could well have been the story of my own local river, The Beam which flows into Romford in Essex. Once an essential part of the towns brewery industry, it too now is buried under concrete with plans for its resurrection shelved in favour of a car park and shopping centre. It is a sign of the times, where we once worshipped river Gods, now our Gods are shopping and cars.
Silt Road is not an uplifting read but the universality of its subject allows us all to recognise, thinks about and understand the rivers which flow in and around our towns better. Towards the end of this book you begin to will the author on, hoping for a happy ending, wanting Charles Rangeley-Wilson to save his river, unearth it from its tomb and give it back to the town but it is not to be.
The book does end, however, with a little glimmer of hope. As the author sits in a café and watches the people of the town drawn to the one water feature they have left. Reaching out in order to touch and connect with this element and, in doing so, maybe connect with an inner part of themselves which, like the river, is buried deep underground.
Meadowland – The Private Life of an English Field – John Lewis-Stempel
Meadowland follows the yearly cycle of a field in a corner of John Lewis-Stempel's farm in Herefordshire. This, on the surface of things, would not seem a wide enough subject about which to write a whole book but from the first line we are transported down into the meadow with the author to watch the ice moon rising, feel the frost biting at our finger tips and watch the badger dragging his lame back legs across the field. The prose in Meadowland takes you down amongst the grasses and allows you to witness the lives of a host of creatures that live around this quiet corner of the English countryside.
Time and again in this book you wish to applaud John Lewis-Stempel's patience and field skills. The hours he spends simply sitting and observing and recording those intimate moments of nature which can only be witnessed by long hours in the field. It is the detail that sings off the page here; a fox catching craneflies along with a flycatcher, a shrew rolling a slug into an appetiser, voles running from the brushcutter blade.
There are some subjects touched which are likely to rouse the blood of many wildlife lovers and at times the authors shows a slightly schizophrenic attitude towards his hay meadow. He finds the foxes beautiful but would happily shoot them. He gently covers up a nest of field voles which he exposes during his hay cutting but downs a pigeon just as it performs a last swoop towards the safety of cover. He delights in seeing the badgers but is relieved that his borderline TB cattle are free to go out and wander amongst them. Still, John Lewis-Stempel is at least not hiding his views on such issues. He holds his hands up to being somewhat confused about where his loyalties lie. He admits that he has both hunted foxes from horse back and been a hunt saboteur.
This is nature writing which will stand the test of time. A book dip into to enjoy the turning of the year. It is a beautiful observation of wildlife in an unspoilt corner of the country and made me want to go out and spend more time simply sitting and watching and enjoying the everyday delights to be found on our doorsteps.
Wild – A journey from lost to found – Cheryl Strayed
Cheryl Strayed sets out to walk the Pacific Coast Trail after falling of the rails, following the death of her mother. The long walk out as a metaphor for the long walk in is a well covered theme and one I know well, but these books can be so hit and miss. They can be melodramatic or shoe gazing in the extreme or, alternately, the author can go all coy on us and use lots of lovely metaphors about the countryside without telling us one single true and honest thing about themselves.
Wild manages to admirably avoid either of these extremes. It is that thing we all love, a great bit of armchair travel. Not many of us really wish to put out body through the physical hardships that Cheryl endured, watch our toenails blacken and become detached, drink dubious water sauces and live on dehydrated food. Not many women are brave enough to take off alone into the wilderness with scarcely a penny to their name but we don't have to, Chery did and we can, from the cosiness of our homes, walk with her.
This book is a good story, well told. It isn't poetic nature writing or profound insight but I found it a refreshing change because of this. Unlike so many British writers who laden their books with endless clever words that only a small percentage of the population understand, or quote and re-quote the same collection of 'acceptable' writers, or sit in their 'aren't we all so marvellous club,' slapping each other on the back and thanking each other profusely in the 'acknowledgement' section, then Cheryl just gets on with the business of telling her story without fanfare. She is a normal, flawed, working class women who has had some major hiccups in her life and found a way to deal with them.
If only British publishers would publish more people like this and stop churning out the same old stories from writers who sometimes appear to have nothing to offer other than the fact they are the 'right sort.'
The Old Ways – Robert Macfarlane
The jury is still out on Mr Macfarlane. Despite being lauded as one of the best nature writers of his generation, then I find it hard to fall in love with his style of writing.
I feel I should rate him, after, all Roger Deakin thought so highly of him he made him his literary executor and I applaud the way in which he has raised the profile of my much maligned home county of Essex, praising the desolate beauty of its coastline and the iconic Englishness of it's seaside resorts, but, unlike Roger Deakin, Macfarlane's writing just seems to lack the human touch or possibly a sense of humour, it is all so very, very clever and earnest.
Walking the Old Ways with him, while reading his book, felt, at times, a hard slog. Wading through a treacle of endless metaphor's, scrabbling through geological terms. The fact that the book needs a 9 page glossary to help you understand it, says it all. It seems that, at times, Robert Macfarlane looses his way. Is he an academic or a literary writer? and , if he is a such a great writer, why does it feel as if he is trying so very hard to impress us with his knowledge? At times it just seems as if he is trying too hard, when he loosens up towards the end of the book he gets so much better.
I loved his stories of seeing a panther on the road at night after a long days walking in the snow or his experiences of ghostly presences at Chanctonbury Ring. He retold these events with admirably little fanfare and a dryness of style which made them believable and left you wanting more. Where this book really seemed to excel was when Macfarlane forgot himself and told the stories of others, particularly his account of the war experiences of Edward Thomas, then I became lost in the story and the writing, no longer fighting through cleverness but immersed in the landscape and the life of another.
The Old Ways has been praised to the hilt by many and was a surprise top ten bestseller. If you are at all interested in nature writing then it is a book to read just make sure you are prepared for some heavy walking.
After London – Richard Jefferies
Written in 1885, After London tells the story of a pastoral world which has evolved after a disaster has swept away the technology, cities and memories of the 19th century. The people that have survived this disaster have separated into distinct casts from the primitive bushmen, the gypsies and outcasts, to serfs and nobles who exercise supreme power and are rule with merciless violence.
The story follows the journey of Felix, a nobleman's son who has fallen on hard times and sets out to better himself and win the hand of his beloved Aurora. This is a simple tale of adventure, quest and discovery. The basic telling was actually refreshing, devoid of the convoluted language and clever philosophy that seems necessary for writing to be considered 'good' in the modern world.
the book ends with Felix heading out once more into the unknown and the reader is left with the hope that Jefferies wrote a sequel.
Sadly, it seems, he never did. After a childhood on a Wiltshire Farm not unlike the estate depicted in After London, Jefferies ran off to France with his cousin and tried to walk to Russia, when this proved unsuccessful they boarded a boat to America but were sent home when it was discovered they had no money for food.
Jefferies took to wandering the countryside with hair down to his shirt collar, dishevelled clothes and a gun over his shoulder, an appearance which made him an object of some concern in Swindon. He spent many solitary hours laying beside stone circles seeking a deep connection with nature.
After a stint as a newspaper reporter, Jefferies began submitting articles about nature and rural life to magazines. He published several books during his lifetime but a long battle with tuberculosis meant his productivity was never great and he was obliged to ask for the assistance of the Royal Literary Fund to sustain him and his family. He finally lost his battle with TB in 1887.
After London is an immensely enjoyable read and an ambitious attempt to imagine a post apocalyptic society. A book well worth tracking down through your local library or second hand book shop.
Walden – Henry Thoreau
'I borrowed an axe and went to the woods,' wrote Henry David Thoreau and so begins his two year experiment in living simply. Thoreau felt that man wasted his life by working to pay off a large mortgage and acquire material goods so he could keep up with his neighbours, where as, if he only lived simply, worked with his hands to grow and catch his own food and gave up the pursuit of stuff he did not need, then he could devote his time to the things he really wanted to, which in Thoreau's case was the study of nature and writing.
Here was a man years ahead of his time, both as an environmentalist and anti-consumerist, living by ideals which are all the more relevant today. At times, the writing of Walden is overly dense by modern standards and is more of an educational lecture than entertainment but there are moments of true beauty and insight in his writing and his delight in the natural world and love of Walden Pond races off the page.
Thoreau died an untimely death at 44, having gone out in a rain storm to count tree rings, but, by all accounts, he was at peace with the world when he died presumably because he had succeeded in his quest to live deliberately and did not find, when he came to die, find that he had not lived.
In Waterlog Roger Deakin sets out to swim his way across Britain taking us on a summer's journey through leafy backwaters, plunge pools in the hills, across the mouth of estuaries and through a series of outdoor swimming pools. On the way he argues with officious river 'owners' and challenges the Environment Agencies insistence that our rivers are nowadays dangerous, polluted waterways likely to drag you into there depths or poison you with all manner of chemicals and mysterious sounding diseases.
Roger is seemingly oblivious to social conventions which, in Britain at least, dictate that, nowadays, stripping down to your trunks or beyond and going for a swim in the local river is simply not on. He reminds us that it was not that many years ago when most people learnt to swim outdoors. With every stroke you want to cheer this man on. He liberates us from the chlorine filled crowded halls of our local swimming baths, he invites us to reclaim our rivers, lakes and forbidden waters, he encourages us to ignore what others might think of us.
This has been the perfect read for a winter in which rivers have been rarely out of the news. Usually because they have burst their bank,s like a convict escaping from jail. Waterlog reminds us that our rivers are also a national treasure which should be kept as wild as possible and not trained into concrete sewers.
Reading this beautifully written book I wanted to head out and take back my local river by plummeting into it, but it is winter and the river's are flooded and spreading across the land. Instead I am going to head to my local baths and learn to swim with the same elegance and economy as Roger so I will be able to sample their delights come summer.
Roger Deakin died before he ever had a chance to publish another book (although two further books were posthumously published) but Waterlog is a beautiful testimony to a fine writer and I like to think that, as the final line of the book tells us, at the moment of death he simply 'turned and swam on into the quiet waves.'
A man and his son walk through a post-apocalyptic world of ash strewn countryside and abandoned cities populated by desperate gangs of cannibals. They survive on a cart of scavenged food, love for each other and hope, without evidence, that things could be better down south.
Throughout the book their are references to 'carrying the fire' and this symbolises faith in God to heal the ravaged land, in the future represented by the boy, in the need to keep your humanity and goodness when all around you is darkness and desperate survival.
The Road is a bleak, desperate and, at times, gruesome read but don't let this put you off. It is not a depressing book, there are moments of joy for the pair and it is a reminder of how happiness can be found in the smallest things and that love and strength of character are things of value even when there is nothing else to give.
A brilliantly crafted and bravely written book, The Road is a worthy winner of the Pulitzer Prize
The Peregrine by J A Baker
The Peregrine is an anomaly and in today's profit driven world you can't imagine a publisher taking a risk on a book in which one anti-social man obsessively follows and documents the everyday life of a bird through a bleak winter. It's not exactly 'high concept.' Thank God though that someone did take the risk as The Peregrine is undoubtedly a masterpiece of nature writing full of vivid descriptions and rich detail which will stay with you long after you have finished.
From the opening pages, The Peregrine describes a landscape known only too well to anyone who dwells by a river estuary. Even though the book is set in Essex(England) the world of mud and water and reflected light will be familiar to many, while the author's devotional hours of bird watching open the door to reveal the fight for survival that is going on among the birds that inhabit our landscapes.
Unlike many modern nature writers whose books sometimes seem to be more about the writer than the wildlife, the author is conspicuous by his absence. There is no mention of Baker's outside the birds and this invisibility draws you in. Who exactly was this man who stood for hours everyday in all weathers watching peregrines? Didn't he have a job? A family? A life? One of the few known facts about Baker is that he was diagnosed with a serious illness just before taking up his mission to pursue peregrines.
The Peregrine is a book which will give readers a new appreciation of the beauty of the estuary landscape and the creatures that live there.
Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
In Cold Comfort Farm, the indomitable Flora Poste, finding herself an orphan, decides to offer herself as a guest to her distant relatives at Cold Comfort Farm in the hope that they will feed and house her. In deepest Sussex she finds a family of superstitious, rural misfits, ruled by the mysterious Aunt Ada Doom, all of whom delight in their own gloomy passions and are ruled by the flowering of the 'sukebind' weed. Undaunted, Flora sets out to sweep all such nonsense away before her and rid the family of their overly dramatic notions and appalling sense of style by applying her own brand of level-headed, 'modern' common sense.
Flora Poste is an exquisite heroine, a strong, sensible, woman; independent, stylish and able to reveal a softer, feminine side without loosing any of her own character. The book is light, funny, clever and knowing, being a parody of the many doom laden stories of rural life by authors such as D H Lawrence, the Bronte sisters and Thomas Hardy. The unexpected twist at the ending is a delight and ensures that the final character set on 'the right path' by Flora is indeed herself.

brazilian single What You Need To Understand
Australia loses, according to my estimates, near to $70 billion a year in tax profits as a result of the moving of corporate revenues to tax places. That's close to 20 percent of the company tax obligation revenue that is accumulated each year. This is legal.
The Australian Point Of View brazilian single
At the same time, an approximated $8.7 trillion, 11.5 percent of the whole world's G.D.P., is held offshore by ultrawealthy families in a handful of tax shelters, as well as most of it isn't being reported to the pertinent tax authorities. This is … not so legal.
These figures represent a big loss of resources that, if accumulated, could be utilized to cut taxes on the rest of us, or spent on social programs in order to help individuals in our cultures.
3 Approaches Concerning brazilian single
Right here are the top 3 reasons that everyone need to think about opening up an abroad savings account.
1) With brazilian single an Offshore Checking Account Protects Your Assets
Without an offshore checking account, your assets are subjected.
If you hold 100% of your funds in the same nation that you live and function, you're handling some significant lawful risk by holding all of your eggs in one basket.
This goes particularly if you are living in the USA– one of the most litigious nation that has actually ever existed in the history of the world.
Offshore Banking Costs & Considerations
In the Land of the Free, you can be demanded absolutely nothing … as well as instantly all of your properties and all of your financial savings are up for grabs by unimportant complainants.
Any court or government company could freeze you from your checking account with a single phone call with no due process or giving you the possibility making your instance.
It's absolutely a "guilty until proven innocent" system.
Holding some funds overseas in an international bank account can help supply a bit of insurance coverage versus this risk.
Banking offshore is essentially a zero-cost method of guaranteeing that, no matter what takes place, you'll constantly have accessibility to emergency funds.
Offshore Banking Institutions
2) Numerous Offshore Bank Accounts Are MUCH Safer
The regrettable fact is that a number of financial institutions in the West are in perilous condition.
Naturally, couple of people ever give a believed to bank security. Lots of people invest even more time thinking about what they're mosting likely to have for dinner compared to whether their financial institution is risk-free.
As well as why should they? We have actually been told our whole lives that financial institutions are secure. After all, the federal government says so!
Again, this has become an out-of-date dream.
The globe learned by hand in 2008 that financial institutions aren't as secure as they want us to think.
All of a sudden, OVERNIGHT, a few of the biggest banks worldwide collapsed. Wachovia. Lehman Brothers. Washington Mutual. Lots of banks vanished in a split second.
And also little has actually transformed since 2008.
Choices For Offshore Bank Accounts
In Europe we can see a number of significant banks, or even entire national banking systems, that get on the ropes, this is crucial when considering brazilian single.
The Spanish and Italian banking systems have actually needed numerous bailouts. The Greek banking system is in a state of perpetual crisis.
Resources Controls in Cyprus
Cyprian woman locked out of her savings throughout the 2013 banking dilemma
In 2013, the banking system in Cyprus became totally bankrupt to the point that they had to ice up everyone's account and also seize funds from the biggest depositors.
In the USA, financial institutions usually preserve extremely reduced degrees of 'liquidity', suggesting the amount of cash (or money equivalents) they carry hand as a percentage of customer down payments is alarmingly low.
How Abroad Financial Institutions Rate
Lots of banks overseas still comply with conventional, conventional banking practices.
They do not wager and also make crazy lendings with their depositors' difficult gained cost savings.
They hold solid, conventional degrees of capital and liquidity, and they're VERY mindful with their customers' money.
And also unlike Europe as well as the United States, they lie in territories where governments have ABSOLUTELY NO financial obligation as well as their insurance funds are well-capitalized as well as solvent.
We're living in the 21st century. Our technology is immediate and it extends the world.
Location is an unnecessary metachronism, specifically in financing.
Do not select your financial institution due to its practical location to your home or office.
Pick your financial institution due to the fact that it's the most effective, a lot of CONSERVATIVE custodian of your savings … whether that's nearby, or throughout the world.
3) An Offshore Financial institution might even pay you MUCH greater passion on your United States Dollars.
Because the start of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, major central banks lowered interest rates to historic lows.
Actually, rates of interest were at their lowest levels in 5,000 years of tape-recorded human background. In some parts of Europe, interest rates were even negative.
Rates have actually started to climb– however they're still MUCH listed below their historic standards.
In most developed nations, actually, financial institution rates of interest are well BELOW the price of inflation.
For example, if your bank pays 1%, however the rising cost of living price is 3%, your cost savings is properly shedding 2% of its buying power each year.
You have to earn AT LEAST 3% each year simply to stay on par with inflation as well as ensure your financial savings does not lose out.
With brazilian single, in the United States and Europe, this has actually ended up being virtually an unfeasibility.
Rates of interest are well listed below the price of rising cost of living, which assures you will certainly lose buying power time after time.

Thanks to our friend Kerrie Moor, who coordinates humanitarian efforts among several independent teams in Athens, we had a surprise visit last Friday. A lorry, accompanied by several gentlemen, appeared in the night and just dropped almost 300 kG of various food, including fresh lamb's meat, vegetables, carrots, potatoes and onion. Next morning they surprised us again, bringing rice, lentils, various sweet and unhealthy snacks (THANK YOU!) and toiletries. Continue reading The Mystery Of Cornucopia Lorry
