About this service #221>
The THES Research Opportunities Service aims to list the availability of opportunities for postgraduate research training. The listings include details of new research posts. Although courses from more than 140 institutions are represented here it is not an exhaustive listing.
Some institutions have not wished to list their courses in this way; so you should not assume that institutions not featuring in these lists have no courses to offer. This listing should give a good flavour of the wide variety of research training on offer at higher education institutions in the United Kingdom.
Potential students should not make decisions on the basis of this listing alone. Potential candidates should contact the institutions of their choice directly if they wish to discuss their future plans.They should not contact The THES or the compilers of this listing.
Quality of degrees #221>
All UK universities in membership of the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals have power to award British degrees after either courses of study or programmes of research, and some colleges of higher education have one or both of these powers.
Other colleges provide courses or programmes which are validated by an institution which has those powers. Courses of this kind are listed under the name of the college which runs them; the name of the validating institution, which finally awards the degree, is in brackets.
The compilers #221>
This list has been compiled by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (CSU) on the basis of returns from institutions. CSU is an agency of the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals, the Standing Conference of Principals of Colleges and Institutes of higher education and the Comm- ittee of Scottish Centrally Funded Colleges.
This information has been provided for information purposes only. It is not definitive and does not take precedence over the official publications of universities and colleges. While every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate and that those institutions which wanted to take part have been included, CSU can accept no responsibility for errors or omissions.
Any queries about this list should be addressed to the data collectors, Mayflower Directories Production, Ro Dew, West Looe Hill, Looe, Cornwall PL13 2HH. Tel: 01503 264454. Fax: 01503 264821.

We've all been there. Trapped in line at the DMV. Or stuck on hold while trying to call a city agency. It's easy to complain about government bureaucracy. But it's the rare person who sees such inefficiency as a business opportunity.
Meet Adam Humphreys. He lives in New York City, and he wanted to travel to China for a vacation. His bureaucratic hassles with the Chinese consulate launched a whole new business.
It started simply enough. Adam found out he needed a visa to travel to China. He went online. Filled out a long, complicated form. And Adam showed up at the Chinese Consulate only to find out that he had filled out the wrong form.

Hopedale History
May 1, 2005
No. 37
Thomas Gaffney
May Day was evidently a big day in the Hopedale Community. I wish we had more on how it was
celebrated, but at this time, about all I've seen is the following from Adin Ballou. If I get a chance one
of these years, I'll see if I can find more in the Practical Christian.
A long account of one of the first of these [May Day celebrations], held May 1, 1848, was given in a
letter from the then widely-known reformer, Henry C. Wright, who was present, to his friend and fellow-
laborer in the cause of humanity, Philip P. Carpenter of Warrenton, England, and published in the
Practical Christian of May 13. After detailing and commenting upon what he sees and hears and
feels, the writer near the close says: 'It is pleasant to witness and enjoy the scene. Children and
parents are here sympathizing together in their amusements. How much more rational, useful, and
Christian these than others in which men and women often indulge with the justification of the
orthodox world. I believe this is as innocent as any meeting and far more improving and Christianizing
than those in which a pro-war, pro-slavery, brutalizing religion is instilled into men's minds and hearts.
Scenes like those of this occasion make us all better men and women." Adin Ballou, The History of
the Hopedale Community, p. 181.
When I was at the Park Street School a few decades ago, May Day was still being celebrated with a
May pole dance at the park. If any of you have memories of that, and send them to me, I'll add them to
the files for the museum. We're hoping that before another year is gone, the renovation job at the Little
Red Shop will be completed and we'd like to be adding stories, pictures and artifacts so that it will be
a town museum and not just a Draper museum. I've been saving materials in file folders for the past
couple of years on any Hopedale topic I come across information on, including individuals, families,
organizations, churches, businesses, streets, neighborhoods, schools, activities, events, etc. If you
have anything you can contribute to this, including your own memories and/or stories about your
family, I'll be happy to add it to the files.
In 1934, The Milford Daily News printed a story of Thomas Gaffney's memories of Hopedale and
Drapers which went back to the 1870s.
Here and There With the Employees of the Draper Corporation
A Column Dealing With Their Activities
On Nov. 7, [1934] Thomas H. Gaffney will complete a half century of continuous employment with the
Draper company. While he is not the oldest employee in years of service, only a very few have a
record equal to his. Mr. Gaffney enjoys good health and appears much younger than his shop record
would indicate. He is looking forward to many more years of pleasant relations with his shop friends.
Mr. Gaffney started working in the Screw department about the time the late Charles F. Roper invented
the first automatic screw machine. Following the introduction of this machine the screw business
boomed for several years. He remained in this department for 38 years and then transferred to the
Pattern Safe department where he is now located. Only six men were employed in the screw
business at the start but this number was increased to several hundred within a few years.
When Mr. Gaffney was a boy he passed the home of Adin Ballou every day on his way to school. Mr.
Ballou greeted the school boys and often gave them apples. Mr. Gaffney recalls distinctly the time that
the Ballou house was moved to its present location on Dutcher street. The house is now occupied by
Alfred Howarth of the Foundry.
Thomas Gaffney was one of the six charter members off Hose 2, which was formed about 40 years
ago. These hose houses located in different sections of the town made up the only fire protection.
When a fire occurred at night it was necessary to arouse the late John French in order to secure his
horse to haul the hose wagon.
When Almon Thwing, brother-in-law of George Draper, lived at the corner of Hopedale and Hope
streets he had a large clock on the front of his barn. It was the only clock of its size in town and
everybody referred to it as the Town Clock. It was built and maintained by Mr. Thwing with a great deal
of pride. The house in which Mr. Thwing lived is now located on Union Street. (This final sentence led
me to take a look on Union Street for the house. It seems that the house is the most likely one in
Hopedale that could be considered an Underground Railroad house.) Click here for more on this.
Mr. Gaffney's father, Michael F. Gaffney, was employed in Worcester. He worked nights and came to
Hopedale on week-ends. After finishing work on Saturday night he would take a train to Northbridge
and then walk to his home here.
Mr. Gaffney says the Old Red shop, which now stands on the south end of Hopedale pond, opposite
the Freedom Street side of the shop, is the original Sheet Metal department. It was then located near
where the screw shop now stands. Later it was moved to the east side of Freedom street [???], south
of the dam, where it was still used for the sheet metal work. It was moved from there to its present
location. [When this article was written in 1934, it was north of Freedom Street and west of the pond,
near Progress Street.]
Mr. Gaffney's memory of what happened in Hopedale goes back vividly for 60 years. He can recall the
many changes in both the plant and the layout of the town. From conversations which he had as a boy
with his parents and also his grandparents he knows considerable about the history which covers the
doings of the Hopedale community and the days before Hopedale was set apart from Milford. One
thing which is seldom mentioned is the old Eight-rod road. This was an old stage coach route from
Worcester to Providence which went through this section. It is now grown up to woods but in many
places a stone wall which lined either side of the road is still standing. The boundary line between
Hopedale and Mendon follows this old road, Mr. Gaffney says. The Milford Daily News.

Hey farmers! We'll have a short maintenance soon to fix the "black roof" issue in the Valley! Stay tuned! :)
Sure! :) I am probably going to do a Q&A about the Valley next week when the Valley has been running for a week, and most players have "got it" by then. Let's see!
You don't have to play the Valley! :) You can simply choose not to. It won't affect your normal Hay Day experience.
The tokens are random, but they have no weight. So, you should get equally all colors, but as it is random, you can get more of some and less of some.
The timers are a bit funky still.. :D We are investigating!
But yeah, when the timer resets (hits zero) it should reset as should the quests!

#Electric boats GOGO on Lake Molveno
There are four of them and they are called GOGO, the #electric boats Made in Italy.
GOGO! the #electric boats that run through the waters of the lake with zero emissions that love the environment. come and visit http://www.gardasolar.com
The boats were bought by the Molveno tourist increase company in the province of Trento. come and read our blog http://gardasolar.com/blog/le-gogo-boats-al-lago-di-molveno/
And tourists, what do they think?
A novelty that appeals: "We have been around for years, says a couple of Dutch tourists.
A Lombard family is fascinated by these boats: "We were immediately intrigued to understand how they work.
And after taking a ride with our children, we think that soon we will return!
An elderly German tourist, says that now the future is this: hybrid vehicles, bicycles with pedal assistance and electric boats.
Personally I was sure that these boats would have aroused great interest among tourists.
However, seeing queue all day at the box office to book a round in GOGO for us is a confirmation of having invested in the right.
The fact of being able to customize them with colors and graphics of the animals that live in the surrounding habitat (swans, squirrels, fawns and fish), inserts even more GOGO in the natural environment of the lake, says the president.
We can affirm with certainty that the GOGO electric boats are a real communication marketing tool with which to build an eco-sustainable and profitable business.

The title says a lot about my thoughts and a lot can be inferred from it: bleary eyes, dry mouth (okay, that might be the wine…), words blurring, sagging energy.
But here's the update:
I've been reading The Two Towers for the vast majority of Dewey's readathon, and gotten over 500 pages into it (full disclosure: it's one of the itty bitty ones. But still). As much love as I still have for the prose and the characters and the world that's sucking me in in a way only the likes of J.R.R Tolkien can do, I had to stop. The words were blurring together and I was missing entire paragraphs because I had been reading too long, even after a 4-hour break to attend semi-formal.
Yes, I wore a pretty dress. When I got home at 10 p.m. I tore it all off and went back to my "Keep Calm and Let It Go" Frozen shirt.
I made two more valiant attempts including The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. From the former, I learned that if you type relentless.com into your search bar, Amazon will come up. Because Bezos is just the kind of guy you want to work for if you're looking for a good work-life balance. The latter, I definitely absolutely whole-heartedly want to read. I just can't give it my all tonight.
I'm also too attached to my evening and morning routine. How am I going to mediate with a readathon hangover? The other hard reality is finals week. It's starts on Tuesday, folks, and I've gotta be ready.
Until next time, readers.

This is the page where I'll describe myself in more detail.
My name is Amy and I attend Dade Christian School.I love to draw anything, especially dogs. Other than drawing, I like to read, write, and sew.
I've got two little brothers, Adrian and Anthony.They are a lot of fun... along with my four cousins (half of them are twins).I also like enjoy playing the flute and the piano. When I've got enough time, the Bible is what I read. Oh, and tv is not my kind of thing. I wouldn't have enough time to watch if I had had a choice, anyways. That means that I'm always doing something and I'm on the go. Another activity enjoy is going on the computer - whether it's the Internet, games, word, etc., you'll see me doing it!
If you've noticed, I'm a great fan of my dog - I just simply love her. That's why I made this website all about Hushpuppy. ENJOY MY WEBSITE
I'm dark brown haired and have tanned skin.
Here's a list of some of my favorite music: Steven Curtis Chapman, Sarah Brightman, Jaci Velazquez, and other singers heard on 89.7 fm

Now Inspecting:
Aug | Sept | Oct
CV joints connect the transmission to the wheels and are an important part of your vehicle's drive axles. Each drive axle has two CV joints. The inner CV joint connects the transmission to the axle, and the outer joint connects the axle to the wheels. As the vehicle experiences road force, the CV joints move in conjunction with the suspension system while helping the wheels maintain a constant velocity. A CV boot houses a CV joint and protects it by keeping out dirt, debris, and other elements. CV boots are made of rubber or plastic strong enough to withstand the constant bending of the CV joints. The boots also ensure that the CV joints remain lubricated by encapsulating the required amount of lithium moly grease. Without proper lubrication, a CV joint cannot easily adjust to the motion of the wheels. CV boots naturally degrade with age. Inspections can prolong the life of CV joints and prevent costly future repairs or replacements.
Since your CV boot keeps your CV joint properly lubricated, any splits in the CV boot will lead to a loss of lubrication. The resulting metal on metal contact can wear down your CV joints fairly quickly. You should also note that heat and friction can eventually degrade your CV boot. Because CV boots also keep the area of lubrication clean and prevent any damaging dirt or debris from harming the CV joint, replacing a cracked or torn CV boot as soon as possible is extremely important. Our visual inspection will determine whether or not the boot needs to be replaced. Our CV boot replacement will help the CV joint stay properly lubricated and help ensure proper transfer of motion from the transmission to the wheels. Neglecting regular inspections of the CV boot and accompanying components may lead to more expensive repairs and replacements down the road.
We proudly service the CV Boot Replacement needs of customers in Philadelphia, PA, Rittenhouse Square, PA, Bella Vista, PA, and surrounding areas.

Around BEDUGUL
When the head and humidity finally gets to you, the place to escape to is Bedugul, Bali's highland retreat, tucked into the crater of an extinct volcano, 1,400 metres above sea level. Here, three lakes provide everything from recreation to the water for the springs, rivers and rice fields below. Lush pine forests seem to create a freshness in the air. Bedugul is known for the quality of its fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Borno oil discovery can make Nigeria poorer if…
- Updated: December 28, 2016
ABOUT three weeks ago, Nigeria acknowledged a meritorious achievement of discovering crude oil in Borno State after several months of exploration activities. It seems to be a good news for all.
Ever since the country experienced a boom in the exploration of crude oil, the richly oil dominated Sub-Saharan Africa has consciously shifted its economic reliance from other sectors to primarily generate surplus foreign exchange revenue from oil extraction. This natural resource became solely responsible for 90 per cent of the nation's foreign exchange earnings. That was how Nigeria gradually dived towards monoculture.
The standard of living of Nigerians increased following this oil boom in 1971 as the Gross Domestic Product per capita income skyrocketed. Nigeria joined the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries (OPEC) to become Africa's largest producer of oil in the global market, selling principally to the United States. Industries, mostly foreign, hurriedly made a conducive environment out of the country because of these fortunes.
But this wealth didn't stay with the country for too long. Oil boom attracted selfish individuals too keen on occupying political offices; caused the neglect of some other productive sectors like agriculture and mining; threw the country into jeopardy of environmental degradation; and generated civil unrest, among others.
As a result of the quick fortune that blew on the entire nation, agriculture, one of the major initial productive sectors, suffered the most. It was underfunded until it couldn't match up with other sectors like telecommunication and mineral resources. Food and its supplementary products which were never supposed to be scarce commodities are now scarce and costly.
To the detriment of the masses, oil made political office attractive for corrupt individuals who not only looted public treasury to paralysis while in power but wielded that same power to remain unseated for too long a period as well. This lasted till countrymen and women clamoured for change in governance when the crude oil fall in price inflicted suffering unbearably. The political atmosphere tensed up and littered with godfatherism, murders, riggings and campaigning violence among other unhealthy attributes.
On periodic events, the Niger Delta agitated for empowerment in their own best language that often orchestrated civil unrest. Bloodshed and vandalism from these agitations continued to send a weakening signal to the economy. These militants did so because of the oil that left their regions less habitable in diverse ways.
For a recent and prevalent implication, reliance on oil in Nigeria caused recession. How? The largest of buyers of crude oil which is United States of America no longer demands for large quantities of it because of the substitute from biodiesel and ethanol. Asia emerged a crowded market for oil producing countries to sell, including Nigeria. The formula of many suppliers and little buyers resulted in the fall of price for crude oil globally.
The surplus earnings from crude oil are no longer feasible in Nigeria because of ethanol and biodiesel. Now, states run crusades for 'Back to Land for Agriculture' as practiced in Ekiti, Imo, Jigawa and some others, as a solace. Let's allow oil to rest and channel our economy to other dormant sectors.

History tells us that teens of any generation are more likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol. The thought is that they are in the frame of mind where they just want to have fun. Others have pointed to the fact that teens want to start showing their independence and break away from their parents. Another frequent belief is that teens believe they are "indestructible" and that the consequences of using drugs won't happen to them.
However, new studies are shedding new light on the teens of today. They are no longer using drugs for fun, they're using them because they have problems and they think drug use can help them.
This information is critical for parents to understand. Knowing the reasons that are more likely to make your teen turn to drugs can allow you to step in and provide the help they need before they make that drastic decision.
Here are the top 5 reasons that cause teens to turn to drugs.
Too Much Stress
More than 70% of teens who use drugs indicate that the reason they started was due to stress. Compare this to the fact that only 7% of parents believe stress could cause their kids to use drugs. Parents need a much better understanding of what their teens are going through and they need to help them deal with these stresses.
Low Self-esteem
Many teens give in when their friends start using drugs because they want to fit in. Along similar lines, they also admit to using drugs because it makes them feel better about themselves.
There is no question that the teen age years can be tough. Teens are dealing with a lot and in many cases, they don't have the tools that are needed to deal with their complex emotions and frustrations.
A study completed in 2009 indicated that nearly 70% of teens actually suffer from clinical depression at some point in their teenage years. However, most of this goes undiagnosed. This causes these teens who are struggling to cope to turn toward drugs as a form of self-medication.
Another problem is that teens really don't understand that using drugs really can have dangerous consequences for them. They believe that trying a drug a few times is completely safe the first few times. They also believe that it is much safer to abuse prescriptions drugs than it is to use illegal drugs. We need to do a better job of educating our teens.
Too Available
Another reason teens use drugs has been around for a long time. They are just too easy to get for teens. One study shows that more than 50% of teens know where to get marijuana and nearly 20% know where to get heroin.
Talk to Your Kids
Despite the belief that kids don't listen to their parents, they do. They may not want you to know they're listening to you, but they are.
Studies show over and over that if kids learn about the dangers of drugs from their parents, they are 50% less likely to use them.
Talk to your kids about the dangers of drugs and also talk to them about the stress and pressure of being a teenager. Make sure they have safe and healthy ways to deal with this stress.

"Toddlerhood and early childhood are key developmental periods for ingraining the entrepreneurial spirit."
-Raising Can-Do Kids (Richard Rende, PhD and Jen Prosek)
Let them create, let them be free. What to do in the summertime. Thinking of activities to do with kids can be a lot work and draining for parents. A couple or years ago, when our kids were a little younger, a friend and myself began thinking, well, let's have them create. She put together a Lego party idea and we said, "do you best!" and guided them along the way. They came back with some of the most creative creations and displayed them for any who wanted to see. Best thing is that they took the time to think and put these creations together and they loved it. Fast forward a few years. Thinking, wouldn't it be great if they could learn to earn from their thinking. Research began and I came across a children's entrepreneur market. Recently my children participated in their first children's entrepreneur market, along with a couple of other friends. Overall the experience was a positive one and we will participate in another one. Along the way there were learning experiences too!
- Regarding my own children, I learned of their different business personalities and how they can use their strengths and work on bringing the good to better.
- Expect the unexpected–Unexpectedly, the children's entrepreneur market was on the grounds of a carnival. It was a distraction as set-up began–turning the unexpected into a positive–the extra attendants and foot traffic was an opportunity.
- There are many kids with creative, inspiring and great personalities!
- A lot of hard work goes into getting things prepared. There were some kids loving it, there was disappointment on faces, there was gratitude, there were different ideas on how to get products sold.
- Work is part of life and if you can find what you love and earn an income, even better!

X FACTOR judge Nicole Scherzinger began crying after her act Matt Terry performed Sam Smith's song Writing's On the Wall for Movie Week.
Nicole at first tried to keep her emotions in check, saying: "I don't want to cry. No, I'm fine! I got balls of steel!"
'I WOULD CHOOSE MYSELF'X Factor's Ryan Lawrie admits he'd choose to win over girlfriend Emily Middlemas
'She's all over the place!'Sharon Osbourne forgets name of Saara Alto's song choice and appears to swear
But tears were visible on her cheeks and her voice broke as she continued: "It's what we're all here for Matt, it's what we're all here for. To be moved, to feel something.
"Baby though you look so expensive, what you have, you cannot buy. So classy. It's like you're priceless, what you have, I adore you.
"I know what this song means to you and you took me there with you."
Matt's rendition of the song, from the James Bond film Spectre, was praised by all of the judges, who rewarded him with a standing ovation.
Louis Walsh called his performance a "vocal masterclass" and said the song choice was "perfect" for him, adding: "Matt, you have to be in the final. You have to be, you deserve to be. That was incredible."
Sharon Osbourne chimed in: "Wow. Wow. Who chose that song for you? You did. Well, you know your comfort zone, you know what suits you... This competition is anyone's, and you've just taken first place. Unbelievable. Keep on picking your own songs."
Simon Cowell said: "This is what we've been waiting for. At last. And to use Nicole's favourite expression, that took balls."
He continued: "[It's a] very difficult song to do because it's such a definitive version. You really did make it your version.
"Drama, performance, great vocal, you timed it perfectly."

(Other) Gamecock Sports Schedule: January 15-20/
In a shocking discovery, I just learned that the University of South Carolina competes in sports other than football. Here's the upcoming schedule for those other sports teams, along with a brief preview.
Women's Basketball @ Missouri
January 15, 9:00 pm
I'm still not entirely sure what the team should be called when it's all women. I mean, don't Gamecocks have to be male since they're roosters and all? There's gotta be a more badass name for lady chickens than just "hens". Or maybe the team can have a different bird mascot altogether! Like the Freebirds! Come on, you can play Skynyrd during every time out, and you can actually play "Freebird" as the crowd funnels out after a big win. Now that's a rock and roll basketball team right there!
Track @ Virginia Tech Invitational
January 16 (all day)
Just as a reminder, Track and Field covers several different sports that nobody cares enough about individually to pay attention to. Except during the Olympics, when all of a sudden people are all about that Javelin life. Also, in addition to the shot put, which already involves throwing a heavy metal ball, there's a sport called "weight throw"? How is it different from shot put? No I'm not going to look it up on Wikipedia, I need answers now!
Men's Tennis vs. Elon
January 17, 10 am
Men's Tennis vs. Furman
January 17, 3 pm
Women's Tennis @ Michigan Invitational
January 17-19 (all day)
All right, this is dumb. First of all, I don't know why tennis is separated into men's and women's. There's no difference in the sport! The court is the same, the rackets and balls are the same, and clearly the level of competish is the same. You tryna say Serena Williams and Novak Djokovich wouldn't go to five sets? You're crazy, and also a sexist. A crazy sexist, just like [INSERT TOPICAL FIGURE FROM CURRENT EVENTS HERE].
Swimming & Diving vs. Missouri
January 17, Noon
Alright, I get how swimming is judged, since it's purely a speed thing, but how is diving judged in college competition? Do they bring in judges? Are the judges impartial? I'm going to guess no, since they likely have connections to the most corrupt system since any major Soviet power of the 1980's: the NCAA. Also, I'm presuming this is Olympic-style diving since I can't imagine where else the Olympic team would get its divers from, other than hanging out by public pools and seeing who jumps off the high dive. Yes, they share the same spying bush as the pedophiles.
Men's Basketball @ Auburn
January 17, 8:30 pm
Men's hoops, or as I like to call it, "whoops", are trying to remain on track after picking up a close win against Alabama last night, 68-66, following consecutive losses. After last night's win, Coach Frank Martin reportedly ripped the spine out of Alabama's coach, Tony Grant. Yes, the skull was still intact on the spine, Predators-style. Seriously, I'm really concerned about what kind of coach Frank Martin is when the team is actually winning games. Does he become more or less murderous?
Women's Basketball @ Florida
January 19, 7 pm
Dawn Staley is a basketball treasure. She's a four-time Olympic gold medalist (three times as a player, once as an assistant coach) and is a six-time WNBA All-Star. She's led South Carolina to a level of success unparalleled in its own history, yet I can't shake the feeling the university only hired her because they thought she was related to legendary running back Duce Staley. Duce has got a lot of sway around these parts, especially for a man named Duce.
Men's Basketball
January 20, 9 pm
Such a late start time for a non-West Coast sporting event, but I've got nothing else going on, so I suppose they called my bluff on that. Now the question is which one of these Gamecock ballers is secretly a werewolf who can't be let out after midnight? My guess so far is Mindaugas Kacinas, the Junior Lithuanian forward. Lithuania just seems like a nation filled with creepy stories and urban legends, so I wouldn't surprised if Mindy (my nickname for him) got bit by a werewolf at some point during his youth in the countryside.

CD Sunday - Jenny's Sketch
I haven't done many 'sketch' type cards. In fact my very first one was an early entry into CD Sunday challenges before I was kindly invited to join them.
Anyway here is my 'take' on 'Jenny's Sketch'
The reason for the timed posting this week is a very early start to tomorrow for myself and Debs (who at this moment is winging her way to my house) and another friend - for our drive to Bristol. We are leaving at 6.30am. I am looking forward to the day. It is a wonderful chance to meet and greet so many talented 'parchers' from all over the place.
I'll catch up with everything when I get back - a tired but happy bunny.
no tired and happy bunny i am afraid. we were loading the car last night ready for this morning when i tripped over the threshold went smashing down onto a wood floor and broke my left arm. finally got home from casualty about 0.15am can't describe the pain.
sorry can't do caps. can't lift to hit the key.
9 comments:
Oh Carol,ReplyDelete
I hope your arm does not give you too much pain, I am sorry I won't be seeing you today and I hope you have a good day in Bristol, It's been raining hard all night so I hope your journey was ok.
Lovely card and another great challenge to get our heads around, you and the team always come up with something different I have no idea how you think up so many ideas.
Take care
Ouchie Carol! So have you had to call off the parchment thingy? Love and ever so gentle hugs.ReplyDelete
Hi Carol, just read about your mishap on our forum. I am so sorry and hope you are not in to much pain.ReplyDelete
Another gorgeous card and from a CD I don't know about.
Hope you catch up on some sleep, I will call you this afternoon.
Love & gentle hugs

OMG Carol. I haven't been on the admin blog today - yet. I am so sorry to hear about your accident. As well as the pain I know how frustrating it is when you are unable to function properly thanks to a plaster attachment. And to cap it all you've missed out on a trip you were so looking forward to.ReplyDelete
Your card is lovely and a great interpretation of the sketch.

Oh Carol, I'm so sorry about your arm, I've never broken anything so can only imagine howmuch pain you're in.ReplyDelete
What a shame you had to miss out on your trip too, hope it doesn't take too long to heal.
Love your card and for someone who doesn't do sketches you've done a pretty good job.
Gentle hugs xxx
Thank you all for your good wishes and cyber hugs. I am so cross with myself for being so stupid and Oh Boy! does it hurt. The emergency response medic arrived so quickly that my son asked her if she had been parked at the end of the drive. The Ambulance crew were also very good, although I was a bit disappointed that Nick Knowles and the T.V. crew were nowhere to be seen.ReplyDelete
I guess a little readjustment Chez Carol will be necessary.
Looking forward to Debs and Charmaine getting back from Bristol. They will be weary.
I am home home... and yes..weary is one word! I had the music on pretty much full volume for the last 20 miles to keep me awake!!ReplyDelete
Carol... my wonderful lovely friend.. take care of you... you were much missed today, by us on the stand and many others..... I hope the pain killers have kicked in and you get some much needed sleep.....
Big big love and one sided only hugs!!!! xxxxxx
p.s Booootiful card! xxx
Oh my word Carol, so sorry to hear about your fall resulting in a broken arm. Hope you are not in too much pain. Loving your card, I do like a sketch because it takes a lot of thinking out of what to do! Take care of yourself. Michelle xReplyDelete
thanks for all the good wishes that have come my way. apart from feeling very very sore and miserable and sorry for myself i am feeling very clumsy. what was i saying about my mother calling me 'the tank'. shouldn't have tempted fate.ReplyDelete
i was so disappointed not to have made it to bristol for the parchment exhibition. only once a year and i go and fall over.
fortunately most of my crafting is up to date'
thanks again for the good wishes.

Touch Bionics opens new training centre in Germany
Prosthetic limb specialist Touch Bionics has opened a new training centre in one of Europe's largest markets for artificial limbs.
The Livingston-based firm, which focuses on upper limb prosthetic technologies, opened its latest Touch Life Centre in Heidelberg, Germany.
Touch said the facility complemented its existing centres of excellence in Hilliard, Ohio, and Livingston.
The centre will offer customer support operations for other European markets.
Touch chief executive Ian Stevens said: "We recognise the importance of education and training to clinicians when delivering optimal outcomes for the community of i-limb wearers.
"We intend that this well-equipped and highly professional facility, utilising our recently revised teaching methods and online learning modules, will be a very useful clinical resource for all our customers."
Earlier this year a nine-year-old boy was fitted with an i-limb quantum, a "bionic" hand designed by Touch Bionics.
Josh Cathcart, from Dalgety Bay in Fife, was thought to be the youngest person in the world to receive such technology.

Plenty of technology has been invented since the first Chitty Chitty Bang Bang book was written in the 1960s, from the internet to cell phones to iPads.

Read on to learn about Frank's favorite feature of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, how writing books is different from writing movies, and what it was like to meet a man who helped build the car that inspired the first book!

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Gyeonggi Province Gov. Lee Jae-myung appeared for police questioning Monday to answer a series of mounting allegations involving his family and extramarital affairs.
Lee arrived at the Bundang Police Station, south of Seoul, at about 09:50 a.m. Lee's office announced last week the governor had agreed with the police to undergo the questioning.
"I have never abused my position for personal reasons. I believe the truth will out at the end of the police investigation," he told reporters. "All this may well be a blessing in disguise."
The influential politician has long been dogged by allegations involving his family and an actress who claims to have had an affair with him.
In June, the minor Bareunmirae Party filed a complaint against him, alleging that he used his mayoral power to have his brother, now deceased, hospitalized against his will and that he violated the election law by denying the suspicion.
The party also claimed he lied during his campaign for governor about his alleged affair with the actress and pressured local companies to provide more than 16 billion won to the city-affiliated pro football team in the form of advertisement charges.
Lee, who is affiliated with the ruling Democratic Party, became the governor of the province surrounding Seoul after winning a heated election in June. Lee was also a contender in the party's presidential primary last year.
Lee has flatly denied all allegations.

There are those that question , are some of us humanizing dogs too much?
Expensive outfits, designer Collars, organic treats and feed, human grade vegan grooming products…
When this is in reference to cute , frilly outfits,having for the most part owned Doberman's, German Shepherds and other large breed dogs, cute, frilly or matching outfits are not my accessory of choice, but an occasional collar charm, a decorative bandana are not out of the question, and if the dogs decked out in pinks and frills enjoy oohs, aahs and extra attention because of it …why not?
When it comes to health care, I do have a strong opinion and that is I feel dogs deserve the best health benefits and treatments that pet owners and science can provide them. Every day their presence in our lives is scientifically proven to provide us with numerous life enhancing and medical benefits. Why would we not want to provide them with the same?
As science begins to recognize not only the long known and accepted emotional advantage of pets interaction with their people, but also the documented evidence of how the companionship of our pets lower blood pressure which in turn helps to prevent heart disease ,the health and wellness factor of pets is leading to even more in-depth benefits to human healthcare.
According to an article by the editor of Your Dog, American Association of Pet Product Manufactures, Pet interaction can even ultimately lower health care costs. Since stress has now been identified as one of the leading causes behind many diseases and scientific research has proven that pets lower stress levels.
Service dogs that can sense oncoming potentially life threatening medical conditions can alert their human in time to prevent a potentially more costly health crisis. Other studies our showing that autistic children are benefitting from close interaction with specially trained dogs.
So when I hear someone say, human grade ingredients , natural and organic treats and skin care products may be good for people , but are we going to far by integrating them into our dogs lifestyle, I have to reply , where would our lifestyle be without the enrichment of dogs in it?

October and November Favorites
I apologize in advance if this post is not in VIDEO form. I still haven't really figured out how I'm going to film in my new space. I still need a few things to make my filming/beauty space presentable on camera so please bear with me. I have a few videos coming up soon and I promise, as soon as my little filming corner is ready, I will keep the videos coming.
For now, you'll have to read! 😂
I wasn't able to talk to you about my October favorites since these past two months kept me really busy (traveling + moving), so I'll be combining the things that I've been loving in October and November on today's post. Sorry, it's going to be quite long. 😭✌
When I traveled to Montreal in October, I brought my almost empty eye cream with me, which I didn't like using at all! I'm talking to you, Benefit's It's Potent Eye Cream. It did nothing for my dark circles and I was just really using it up so I can get a new eye cream. So, when I saw a Kiehl's store when I visited Montreal, I thought that it was the perfect time to try out something new.
I've heard a lot of great things about Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye cream. KathleenLights even said in one of her videos that it's the best eye cream she's ever tried and I knew since then that I had to try it for myself because I really have a bad case of dark under eye circles.
This little thing costs $46 Canadian dollars (in that store)! In my head I said, "dang! das espensive!" But I had to have it, so I still went ahead and bought it.
I use it daily as a part of my night time routine. It has a really light consistency and a little bit goes a long way. It has a slight minty smell to it but it doesn't make my eye area stingy or hot. It doesn't make my eyes water either so the application of it is really comfortable for me. It sets pretty quickly too and this is the best part, IT WORKS! After over a month of religiously using it, I noticed that my dark circles have gotten so much lighter. Jorge and my sister Hannah noticed it too. So I guess it's really safe to say that I've found my ONE AND ONLY eye cream! The little tube is really expensive but it's worth every penny and I think it will last me at least 5 months so it's a really great investment. Question: I always snapchat my naked face. What do you think about my dark circles? Do you agree that it worked for me?
Clean and Clear Acne Spot Treatment
Because of all the traveling I did in the span of two months, my skin really took a hard beating. I was breaking out almost everyday and these are huge painful pimples that we're talking about! I felt really ugly and helpless so I decided to take action! Upon arriving in the US, I made it one of my missions to get rid of my nasty pimples so I got this acne spot treatment cream.
This is great! I used it on all my pimples and this dried them up real quick without drying out my skin! I hope that made sense! My pimples didn't look flaky in the process. I also dab this on pimples that are about to come out and this just stops them from actually growing out.
ANGELS ON BARE SKIN Cleanser
Do not doubt it. This really is the Angels on Bare Skin tub but it's in french because I bought this in Montreal. I had a hard time finding it in the Lush store over there because everything was in FRENCH! I ended up asking a staff which I hate doing (are you the same way?), but the girl I talked to was very sweet and very helpful. Anyway, I got this cleanser because so many Youtubers that I follow love this and their faces look so flawless. Maybe "flawless" is the word-inspiration behind the name which I think is very clever. Lush as a brand is amazing and I love everything they stand for so I was really eager on trying out a few of their products with Angels on Bare skin on top of my list.
As you can see in the photos, it's a solid bar that you mix with water before scrubbing onto the skin. It is a face and body cleanser but I use it solely for my face. This serves as my "exfoliator" in my night time routine. So first, I remove my makeup using a cleansing oil, then I wash away the oil and leftover makeup with a facial wash, then I go in with Angels on Bare Skin. What I love about this cleanser is the luxurious feeling it gives me. It's like a spa session every night! It has a very unique scent and the ground almonds and lavender petals that serve as the exfoliators feel really gentle on the skin. Most brands lie when they say that their cleansers leave the skin feeling hydrated, because those are the ones that usually strip the skin off of moisture! But Angels on Bare skin leaves the skin really soft and supple. Since it does exfoliate my skin, I noticed a difference on my pimple scars. I think this product slowly erases them and that's something a skincare product has never done to me before. It's amazing and I urge you to go try it for yourself.
Lush only uses natural ingredients, meaning it's preservative-free that's why you'll notice that my pot has a BEST BEFORE date. Their products are VEGAN and absolutely CRUELTY-FREE.
When I saw this tiny lipstick in my October IPSY bag, I felt so happy and excited! Look at how cute it is! UGH!!! 😍 The Balm Cosmetics is really famous for their illuminators but I've also heard great things about their liquid lipsticks so when I received a really cute Committed Meet Matt(e) Hughes in my bag, I was so giddy!
It's very creamy and very smooth to apply. It sets perfectly and it's the most comfortable matte liquid lipstick I have ever tried! This instantly became my favorite lipstick and I get compliments when I wear it. It is very long-wearing and it fades nicely. At first, it has this minty smell but once it sets, it starts to smell like cupcakes. A full-size lipstick is $17. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it is $3 cheaper than the OFRA liquid lipsticks (which I didn't find great by the way.). (Would you like me to write a detailed review on my OFRA lipstick in Miami Fever? Let me know!)
The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes > Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips > OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks
My friend Jae said that this lipstick is very comparable to NYX's matte lip creams so I'll have to try it for myself. Do you agree? If it does end up looking and feeling the same way as NYX's then that would be a great alternative because NYX products are way cheaper than The Balm's!
This setting spray is really great in prolonging the lifespan of your makeup. I use this on days that I wear makeup and this keeps my makeup intact for over 8 hours. This is so much better than Loreal's Infallible setting spray because that spray made my face oilier than it actually is. NYX's setting spray keeps my face looking less oily, but my nose is always an exception. 😂 Other than the fact that my nose ends up oily no matter what, I think this is the best setting spray that I have tried so far. Maybe next year, I will level-up and buy myself MAC Fix Plus.
Loreal Infallible pro-matte 24-hr Foundation
If you're looking for a full-coverage foundation that sets matte, then the Infallible foundation is for you! If you have combo or oily skin, this will be a great foundation for you. Despite its thick consistency, it feels lightweight and it's easy to buff into the skin. This covers up my blemishes amazingly and it is indeed long-lasting, but not 24 hours long though.
When I moved to the US, I realized that I forgot to pack my Rimmel liquid eyeliner. I thought about buying it again here but I got this Revlon liner instead because MCKENNA uses this eyeliner and her eyes always look so pretty! Guess what, I love it even more than the Rimmel liner! I have the shade black brown and black but the one I've been using all the time is the black brown shade. Now, I can't leave the house without eyeliner.
I got both the beanie and the scarf from Forever 21 when I was in Montreal and I've been using these two all the time! I think this combo is very fall appropriate!
I have been living in this very cozy Joe Fresh cowl neck sweater! I have also been wearing my faux suede boots (that I got from JustFab months ago) non-stop.
Justin Bieber's new album is bomb, the TV show NARCOS is one of the best shows out there right now, and my new iPhone 6s in Rose Gold is definitely a fave! <3 Lastly, me finally being here in the US with my husband is the best feeling ever!
Tantadada! You've reached the end of the post! HOORAY! HAHA. Thank you for reading this very long blog post. Hopefully, my next MONTHLY FAVORITES post will be in a video again like the last time. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving/long weekend and I'll talk to you soon!

Are you deeply in debt? Is it all becoming a little (or a lot) overwhelming to you? Debt consolidation may be a viable option for you. This process is lengthy, so read on to learn whether or not it's a good option for you.
Just because a firm is non-profit doesn't mean they are the best choice. This term is often used as a disguise for predatory lenders and you could end up with very unfavorable loan terms. Go to a company recommended by a friend, family member or the Better Business Bureau.
Make sure a prospective counseling firm has qualified employees. Are you going to be working with people who have an organization that certifies them? Are they backed by places that are reputable so they can be trusted and are strongly backed? This will give you a better idea of whether or not the company will be right for your needs.
If you have been paying into life insurance, it may help you out. You might want to consider cashing in the policy so that you could pay your debts. To learn how much cash you can obtain from your policy, talk to your insurance agent. Sometimes you can pay your debt by borrowing a portion of your investment.
You can get rid of debt by borrowing money. Talk to loan providers to figure out the rates that you qualify for. Even your car can be used to secure a loan. Never repay a loan late.
When shopping for debt consolidation loans, try to get a low fixed rate. Without this, you won't know what to pay every month and that can make things hard. Try to find a one-stop solution where you can get good terms for the loan's lifespan, thus getting you on solid financial ground once repayment is complete.
If you get an offer in the mail for a credit card with a low rate, think about consolidating your debts with this offer. Making only one payment monthly can be helpful, and it can save you a lot of interest, too. When using only one card, pay off any purchases that have an interest rate that is introductory.
Make sure to do your homework when researching a debt consolidation company. This will help you avoid costly mistakes that you could regret for many years.
Don't get debt consolidation just because you think you're going to get short term financial help. A good counselor will help you analyze your financial situation. When you have gotten a loan to consolidate your debts, think about the changes you will need to make in order to improve your financial life, over time.
Make sure the documents you get from a debt consolidation company are filled out correctly. You have to pay close attention. Errors may delay your help, so fill them out completely and accurately. Ask any questions if you don't understated something.
Think about entering into negotiations with creditors on your own prior to investigating consolidation. Ask if your credit card provider will move you to a fixed interest if you quit using the card. You don't know what they'll offer you until you try.
Can you contact the consolidation company anytime you need something? Even after your agreement is in place, you may have questions or concerns that you need answered. It is important that any company you work with has good customer service.
Debt management may be a good solution to your financial woes. If you pay your debts by managing your situation, you'll be paying less in shorter period of time. Find a debt consolidation specialist who can negotiate lower interests and charges on all your accounts.
Debt consolidation should allow you to cover all your debts thanks to an affordable monthly payment. A good rule is working towards a 5-year plan, but you can adjust based off of your situation. This will give you a goal to work towards and a predictable payoff time frame.
You should create a budget. You should pay special attention to the way you are spending your money. If you develop a budget, you will immediately see an improvement in your finances.
When you know who you need to pay, get the details of the debt. What you owe, what the due date is, interest rates and how much you pay each month should be included in this list. This information is crucial to know when proceeding with debt consolidation.
Aim to pay any debt consolidation loan off within 5 years, regardless of what they tell you. If you wait too long, you are paying a ton of interest and may not be able to pay it in full.
If you're thinking of taking care of your debt by getting it consolidated, see if a family member can help you first. It is often much easier to make a single payment to one person than to make several payments to multiple creditors. You may also be able to get a much lower interest rate that way.
Debt relief choices abound. If debt consolidation is something you think you can use, this article should have given you some pointers to make it work. You would not be the first to embrace this opportunity as a means to move forward financially in a positive way.

Alcohol use raises the risk of cancer.
A COUPLE YEARS ago, a researcher named Curtis Ellison took the podium in a crowded lecture hall at Boston University's School of Public Health to tackle a question that had divided the university's public health community: whether moderate drinking should be recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle. Ellison's take? "I mean, it's so obviously 'yes,'" he told the crowd.
You've heard Ellison's pitch before: A glass a day can make for a healthier heart and a longer life. On stage, he told the story of "Jackrabbit" Johannsen, a famed cross country skier who lived to be 111. Johannsen had four pieces of advice for a long and healthy life, Ellison said: "Don't smoke, get lots of exercise, don't drink too much." He paused. "On the other hand, don't drink too little, either." The crowd erupted in laughter and applause.
But Ellison wasn't going unchallenged. Watching from the other side of the stage was Tim Naimi, a public health professor at BU who studies binge drinking in the same building as Ellison. He was there to argue the less attractive position: Drinking is distinctly unhealthy. And not in the typical ways you might associate with alcoholism, but in the sense of increased cancer risk—even for moderate drinkers.

Everton were dumped out of the Europa League with two games to spare after slipping to a 3-0 defeat against Lyon.
Second half goals from former Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore (69), Houssem Aouar (76) and Memphis Depay (88) leaves the Toffees with just one point in Group E after four games and facing an impossible task to qualify.
Everton are the first English side to not win any of their first four games of a Europa League campaign.
Since taking over from Ronald Koeman, caretaker boss David Unsworth has failed to arrest their slide, losing all three of his games in charge, meaning Everton, who had Morgan Schneiderlin sent off late on, have won just once in their last 10 matches.
The contrast in form coming into the game was stark with Lyon winning four on the bounce and Everton losing their last four.

Confidence seemed high within the home ranks but they only managed to test Jordan Pickford with a Traore header on 34 minutes, which the goalkeeper palmed clear.
Cuco Martina had to be carried off in a neck brace just before the break after landing awkwardly on his back. The defender was attended to for almost seven minutes before being taken off on a stretcher.
Everton will have been delighted with their resolute first-half showing and came out buoyant after the break. Idrissa Gueye broke into the box on 47 minutes but his effort from 12 yards lacked conviction and was pushed clear by Anthony Lopes.
That missed chance was as good as it got for Unsworth's men as they fell behind on 69 minutes.
Schneiderlin's tackle in midfield saw the ball deflect fortuitously into the path of Traore, who moved past Pickford and rolled a cool finish into the net.
Everton's fate was sealed six minutes later when substitute Aouar was picked out by Depay and he stroked home.
Schneiderlin embodied Everton's frustration with nine minutes to go when he picked up a needless second booking for a wild hack on Maxwel Cornet. A dismal night for the travelling Toffees was compounded on 88 minutes when former Manchester United winger Depay headed home from a Jordan Ferri cross.
