Circular Head Show returns to Stanley for 110th outing
STANLEY'S annual Circular Head Show returns to the Recreation Ground this Saturday December 8.
The show, which has been running for 110 years in 2018, is showing no signs of slowing down and will feature all the staples you have come to expect.
Circular Head Agricultural Society secretary Sue Smedley said the show was expecting significant crowds throughout the day.
One of the show's highlights will be the cooking demonstrations from local butcher Josh Perry, who will be preparing dishes using local produce throughout the day from 10am.
"He's a celebrity to us!" Ms Smedley said.
"He's very good. He can turn his hand to most things. Not only will he be using some of his award-winning product, but also from a range of local producers."
Ms Smedley said Mr Perry will be making dishes with product from Cape Grim beef, Scottsdale Pork, Tasmanian scallops from Hursey Seafoods, Tarkine Fresh Oysters, Blue Hills Honey and many others.
The show will also feature equestrian events, wood chopping, dairy and beef cattle competitions and the animal nursery, before culminating with the Grand Parade at 3pm.
The North-West Axemen's Association will also be running a wood chopping competition at this year's event, and association secretary Stuart Snare said it will feature events that haven't been run in decades.
"There will be a two board tree-felling event, which hasn't been held down there for at least 20 years," Mr Snare said.
"That will be a bit of a spectacle, for sure."
Mr Snare said the women's wood chopping events were expected to be very popular, as the sport was growing quickly in the United States.
"Everyone likes seeing the women compete. It used to be a bloke's sport and it's good to see the women participating."
Women participating will use slightly smaller axes and chop into blocks roughly 25mm smaller in diameter.
Tickets for the show are $10 for adults, $5 for children aged 5 – 14, and free for under five-year-olds.

Michael Kalish
About the Artist
Dimensional wall sculpture; 55 x 30 x 7 inches, layered laser cut aluminum and enamel paint on hand shaped aluminum panel; edition of 18
Michael Kalish is an internationally acclaimed artist known for his large-scale public art installations. In his most daring and bold expression of the force of nature known as love, the renowned sculptor unveiled his own artistic sonnet in sculpture form – "THE ART OF FINDING LOVE", a 20 foot x 6 foot x 6 foot interactive sculpture. Kalish designed the contemporary piece so that the viewer must find the exact vantage point where the sculpture is no longer abstract and "Love" literally comes into focus. This monumental sculpture debuted in Los Angeles and Miami in 2017.Kalish grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. He pursued his passion in both baseball and art, noting that some days he would sneak away from baseball practice to take figure-drawing classes or make art. During this time, Kalish had the opportunity to try out for major league teams such as the Atlanta Braves and the Yankees. He was a very talented player, though a serious back injury kept him from furthering an athletic career. Kalish was fascinated with license plates and perhaps it was his upbringing in the Deep South that culled his interest in Americana. He began cutting and welding the license plates into maps, flags and large scale sculptures. Kalish gained recognition for his transformation of ordinary, everyday objects into meaningful works of art that reference a broad spectrum of American culture from political issues to cultural icons. Kalish's passion for metal has recently evolved from salvaged parts to more refined laser cut aluminum and mirrored stainless steel sculptures with references to American culture, produced under Kalish Editions. Kalish has been featured in the NY Times, The ARTnews Review, Wired Magazine, Time Magazine, The LA Times Magazine, People Magazine, Hollywood Life Magazine, US Weekly, American Way Magazine, Elle Magazine, Art in America and USA Today. He has also made TV appearances on CBS Sunday Morning and CNN's "Route to the Top". Most recently, he was the host of Discovery Channel's "Final Offer". Kalish's art can be found in countless prominent art collections around the world.
Tom Lieber
"Blue Inversion"
80 x 72 x 2 inches, oil on canvas
Tom Lieber is a Hawaii-based abstract painter and printmaker. Lieber is a recipient of the Visual Artist Fellowship Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and his paintings are in the permanent collections at The Metropolitan Museum of Art NY, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum NY, Tate London, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, Bolinas Museum, Honolulu Contemporary Museum, High Museum of Art, Fleming Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, Farnsworth Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Newport Art Museum, Mount Holyoke College Museum of Art, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Santa Fe, University of Arizona Museum of Art, De Saisset Museum, Chrysler Museum, Bloomington Art Museum, Krannert Art Museum, St. Louis Art Museum, Evanston Art Museum among others. Tom Lieber is originally from St. Louis but moved to Berkeley in 1975 after finishing his BFA and MFA at the University of Illinois. Lieber's career took off in 1982 when a woman named Diane Waldman traveled to California. Diane at that time was the deputy director at the Guggenheim Museum NY (Lieber said she was known as a "radical curator") and she was traveling the country in search of young artists she thought would be the next generation of talented emerging artists (see the link below to read the NY Times article about the exhibition). While at another artist's studio, Diane saw a book featuring twenty young painters from the Bay Area and Lieber was featured in the back of the book, and he was the only artist she was interested in. Lieber said she identified early that his paintings were structurally sound works and she "got" them. Diane's search culminated with an exhibition at the Guggenheim featuring Lieber and ten other emerging artists in 1983. The Guggenheim acquired two paintings, one in 1983 and another in 1985.

Carlos Ramirez
Biography :
Carlos Ramirez was born in Cuba and currently resides in Santa Fe, NM. Ramirez has been painting for over 30 years. "My work is a visual record of the world around me; capturing those moments that have become rooted in my memory. I tend to work large, starting with bold black ink sketches that reference organic shapes. I then obscure parts with multiple layers of broken color. I work back and forth in this manner developing a thick build up of paint in some areas while others remain thin and open. The essence of my work is exploring the beauty that is present in the natural world. In this process I take in what draws me to nature and bring it back to the canvas via my own voice".
Hunt Rettig
Biography :
Hunt Rettig is a mixed-media artist based in Aspen, Colorado. His three-dimensional wall sculptures often consist of polyester film, thermoplastic rubber and acrylics that he molds to create organic shapes full of light and dimension placed under frosted plexiglass to instill a soft glow. "Within my terrain I see cross sections of cross sections, unnatural confluences, un-navigable borders, unrestricted constriction and breath-like expansion. Especially with plantlike forms I see what I can best describe as the invisibly visible…landscapes unnatural yet natural at the same time."
Mark Vinci
Biography :
Mark Vinci is a Phoenix-based mixed media artist and a recipient of the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York for a few years before achieving his BFA from Kutztown University in Kutztown, PA.

Issues like being pregnant (which could also fall under rule 9), menopause, menstrual cycles, puberty, business cycles (but no explicit business names), product improvement (however no explicit merchandise).
Be it the relation of enterprise and politics, be it the function of enterprise in economic inequality, or be it the function of business in new technologies and massive information – these are all new ethical challenges which ask for wider and deeper conceptualizations of the role of business and its embeddedness in wider society. Donald watched and admired his father, Fred Trump, and noticed that he commanded respect through intelligence and business savvy. No matter gender, race and educational attainment, the small enterprise owners are very more likely to put in long hours to make their business profitable.

Any worldwide or nationwide information, data, gossip, traits or tendencies related to your online business sector. And it must be there to communicate between enterprise and IT (BPMN is great for this).

Commercial Recycling
The City's franchise with Republic Services doesn't apply to hauling of commercial recycling. Business are free to contact Republic to arrange their own recycling. Business may also use other vendors as long as the vendor is licensed.
Hauling ICI Recyclables In Mansfield
Mansfield Garbage and Recycling Ordinance
What Are ICI Recyclables?
Recyclable material collected from an industrial, commercial or institutional facility within City limits such as paper, paperboard, aluminum, plastics, and glass, or other materials as defined as Recyclable Materials in the City's Garbage and Recycling Ordinance. In addition to ICI recyclables, this license applies to waste construction materials collected for recycling.
Why Does Mansfield Have A Recycling License?
Mansfield provides a license to recycling haulers in order to maintain proper and adequate records of recycling activities in Mansfield and to ensure that residents and businesses are protected from unsanitary and unsightly conditions.
Obtaining A License
In order to obtain a license to haul recyclable materials, an applicant needs to complete the Recycling Haulers Application and Recycling Haulers License Agreement, as well as meet all of the requirements stated in the Garbage and Recycling Ordinance. A non-refundable application fee must be submitted with each application. Additional application sheets may be needed depending on the number of client facilities. Once the license has been granted, it is the responsibility of the licensee to submit quarterly reports as well as the licensing fee to the City. Failure to do so may result in the license being suspended, or revoked.
Reasonable changes to the business must be reported to the City in a timely manner. These may include the addition/deletion of client facilities, changes to fleet, changes to services offered, etc. Failure to notify the City of such changes may result in the license being suspended or revoked.
Commingled Products
Licensed haulers are not allowed to collect commingled recyclables. Commingled recyclables have been mixed with regular garbage, refuse and trash and recycling haulers are not authorized to collect these materials within City Limits. Recycling haulers who have the ability to collect single-stream recyclables and who will be taking those single-stream recyclables to a qualified destination facility may apply for a single-stream waiver.
Commingling of garbage, refuse or trash with recyclables is the responsibility of the hauler and client facility, and will not be tolerated. Granted licenses may be suspended or revoked if the hauling of commingled products is detected.

Coming out as HIV-positive is an experience unlike any other, and comparisons with coming out as gay are not necessarily helpful. That earlier declaration may have been greeted with cries of "I already knew!" but your HIV status is not something which is visible. Because it's hidden you may feel that it carries much heavier repercussions - and consequently, it's understandable that your stress levels and anxiety could spiral.
Gone are the days when HIV was a death sentence. Effective medication is now available, and you can expect to live a full and healthy life if treated early. Keep reminding yourself of this - and read up and speak to professionals about the treatments available. Support is crucial when you get that diagnosis. There's plenty available; reach out for it - you're not alone.
Your first emotion - which may overwhelm you - is likely to be fear. How will people react? Will they shun you? Will others view you as disease-ridden and infectious? Will you ever find a relationship? The questions will be endless, and you need to keep a check on them. Don't catastrophize. Speak to one of the specialist services if you need to. You can break through the fear barrier - and the other side won't be nearly as bad as you're predicting. It never is!
You're likely to be worried about other people's reactions - those you work with, your friends, your family. Are you going to feel awkward? But what does this matter? You have no control over what other people think about you, and your self-esteem should not be built upon their opinions. Any negative reactions are about other people's issues - not yours.
Learn all there is to know about your status, but crucially from professionals. Don't go trawling the internet for inaccurate information, which will only panic you. Once you're in full possession of the facts, set yourself up as an educator. Not everyone, believe it or not, is aware that being HIV positive does not equate to dying from AIDS, for example. Fight through the stigma by explaining the reality calmly. There will always be bigots out there, but most rational human beings are willing to listen, learn and challenge their beliefs.
Anyone can get HIV. It doesn't mean that you're "dirty" or "reckless" or "a slut," or any of those other unhelpful labels. Continuously blaming yourself is only going to lead to more guilt - and possibly push you into self-destructive behavior. Acknowledge those feelings and then work with professionals or those close friends you can trust to move on.
Yes, there may well be people who react negatively to your coming out - and their opinions may well change over time. But if they don't, do you need them in your life? Those who are important will stick with you - and your bold declaration and the discussions that follow are likely to open your relationship to new levels, making it stronger than ever.
Start to view yourself in a different way: as an ambassador for your community, as an example to others in your openness and courage. Of course, there's still much work to be done to break down prejudice towards HIV positive people, but you can become part of that movement for change. Walk tall and proud - and never apologize for who you are.

We strongly recommend that our passengers select a travel insurance policy to cover the duration of their tour. This should, importantly, cover any medical expenses incurred, but we also recommend insurance for personal liability, cancellation, and loss of luggage.
Finishing Point
We are happy to help with your post-tour plans! Let us know if you would like us to arrange a hotel reservation, airport transfer, or activity.
What to Bring
We recommend packing as lightly as possible. Hotels and buildings in Turkey often lack entry ramps, and public transport can get quite crowded (limiting the space for luggage). For daily activities, a day pack or large purse will suffice.
Make sure to bring all necessary documentation, including passport, visa (if needed), itinerary, flight information, and any travel insurance papers.
As for clothing, the weather in Turkey will vary depending on where your tour takes you and the time of year during which you travel. Please check the weather statistics for an idea about seasonal items. For tours traveling to more conservative areas, we recommend bringing a few modest-clothing items (long-sleeved shirt/sweater and pants/long skirt). Women may want to bring a scarf for mosque visits.
The currency in Turkey is the Turkish Lira (TL). My Turkey Adventure accepts tour payments in Turkish Lira, Euros, or US dollars. While most restaurants, bars, and shops in urban areas will accept credit and debit cards, you will need to have TL on hand to use for smaller items, local shops, and tipping. Every traveler is different when it comes to spending habits, therefore it's entirely up to you when deciding how much money to bring.
Your guide will point out exchange offices and/or banks for you to change or withdraw cash. If you need to change money at the airport, keep the amount low as the rates will be poorer than those in the city center.
We recommend keeping some extra cash (around 100EUR) to use in case of emergency or unforeseen circumstances.
At restaurants, it is customary to leave a 5-10% tip if you are satisfied with the service.
For taxis, just round up your fare (for example, if your trip is 15.25TL, give 16TL).
At hotels, we recommend tipping 1EUR per person per day.
If you are happy with your tour and would like to show your appreciation, tips for your guide and/or driver can be given at the end of your tour. While the amount is solely at your discretion, we recommend tipping around 2EUR per person per day to your driver and 4-5EUR per person per day to your guide.
Optional Activities
We offer a variety of optional activities to supplement our itineraries. These can be found on our website, or you can ask us for recommendations.
Safety and Security
A basic awareness of your surroundings will go a long way in keeping you and your belongings safe. We recommend keeping your passports, extra cash, and important documents in your hotel room's safe or, if unavailable, with the hotel front-desk staff. Try not to carry large amounts of cash. Pickpocketing is a problem in urban areas, particularly in Istanbul's large crowds. Keep your personal effects close—a bag or purse that can be zipped or a money belt are recommended. You may also want to bring a luggage lock for added security during air transit.
While Turkey is a relatively safe country to visit, please trust your guide's judgement and experience if he or she tells you to avoid certain neighbourhoods or activities.
When exploring on your own, please be aware of the "Let's get a drink" scam, which has targeted tourists in recent years. A stranger (someone telling you they are a guide or fellow traveler, for example) will invite you to a bar or restaurant for drink/food. These people work with the bar/restaurant, and your bill will be horribly high (we have heard of people being forced to pay 3000TL for a bottle of raki or wine). It can become precarious if the tourist refuses to pay. While this scam tends to target single-travelers (particularly men), small groups of 2-3 people can also be targeted.
There are some touristy restaurants that do not list prices on their menus, or they will attempt to inflate your bill by serving you extra portions without you having ordered them. Keep a menu at the table to double-check your bill and make sure to clearly state how many portions you want when ordering. Your guide will be happy to give you recommendations for high-quality, honest places to eat during your free time, so don't hesitate to ask!
Protests and demonstrations, however well-intentioned, can turn rowdy or violent. If you encounter a protest, leave the area immediately.

Unprecedented change
For the first time in Britain's history, those aged over 65 outnumber 16-year-olds. In just over 15 years in 2032, the number of over 65's is predicted to increase by 61%. This will mean for all sectors there will be a proportionally smaller number of new entrants and increased competition for emerging talent.
For the construction sector, which has traditionally relied on new entrants from the youngest cohort, huge changes will be required to attract, retain and manage the current and future talent.
With the UK facing unprecedented changes to the demographics of its workforce and attitudes to work isn't time for us all to get flexible?
"Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."
James Belasco and Ralph Stayer
Despite the variety of options available, flexible working is yet to become 'business as usual' in construction and recruitment. I checked the UK's two largest online jobs boards for "construction" roles and was delighted to find that both had over 2,000 jobs in the London area, the overwhelming majority were advertised as permanent/ full-time. Out of curiosity, I filtered the results to show only "part-time options" and found that the options reduced to around 40 roles (2% of all roles shown).
We are managing time, not people
If you have management responsibility on a construction project right now, you may have read the first few paragraphs of this piece with a growing sense of dread. "How would we make this work?!" "We have a deadline!" "It's not possible to build [fill in the project name here] with a part-time workforce!", "I'd welcome more flexibility, but our clients expect us to be available 24/7"...
And while I do understand I believe with an innovative approach we can begin to change this the construction sector has a huge amount of expertise in problem-solving.
The nature of designing and constructing new places, spaces and buildings create a huge demand for expertise and as a way of managing this, construction for many years has depended on "project management" techniques. Project management has tended to rely solely on focusing on the pockets of time needed to complete each task. Almost to the complete exclusion of the needs of the people involved. In construction, I believe that as managers we have become experts in managing time not people.
Take a look at the last project management tool you created or received, it may be a Gantt chart which is great for setting out tasks, time and order in a clear way. But rarely do they reflect the needs or potential for change that will impact the people needed to plan, design and construct a building. Many projects and companies, therefore, plan projects around the expectation of a traditional, full-time work (with overtime).
"Women are working more, men are understanding their value as caregivers, women are primary breadwinners—I mean, we could go on and on and on. Things are different. So we can't keep operating like everything is the same, and that's what many of us have done. And I think it's up to us to change the conversation."
Michelle Obama
Flexible employment is not just about an ageing population or having caring responsibilities. In a report by Millennial Branding, 45% of those aged between 18 and 34 in 2015, would choose flexibility over pay. The question then becomes how can employers and particularly those in the construction sector create employment which reflect the needs of a diverse workforce.
So how might we achieve this?
It is time for a re-brand
Flexible working has often been associated with working fewer hours and child care, and as a sector which often measures commitment in time spent this can be an issue. However being flexible doesn't just mean part-time in fact this is just one of many ways to work flexibly, here are three examples which are equivalent to working full-time and would allow some degree of autonomy:
- Compressed hours working a full working week over fewer days
- Flexitime where an individual has a different start, finish and break times from other workers, but may cover core hours
- Annualised hours the employee works a certain number of hours over a year but has some flexibility on when they do them
We need to move towards offering the potential of flexibility as a standard. While all UK workers now have the right to request flexible working in order to shift the perception that it is an anathema to construction, the industry needs to be more vocal about offering these opportunities.
We have the technology
Most companies are keen for their workforce to have access to the company cloud, phones, tablets and laptops etc. The availability of this tech has tended to result in more flexibility for employers rather than for employees, which can be driven by an ever developing project brief. Smarter software platforms and apps offer great opportunities to manage workflow, communicate and collaborate wherever we happen to be, we need to be able and willing to harness this to facilitate change.
Get creative
As we move to an ageing and more diverse workforce flexible job design makes strategic sense. That doesn't have to mean, random absence, confusion, being under-resourced, or other team members being over stretched. This will mean that as leaders and team member we have to get creative and effective particularly around inter-team communication and time management.
For those whose roles are mainly dependent on location or a particular stage in the process the development of different job types, become even more important. The industry needs to look more closely at new and existing methods with a mindset which adds flexibility to the discussion on how a project or task can be completed.
As David Coplin of Microsoft UK notes:
"We need to take a more flexible approach to both the workplace and the work we do; one that provides us both the physical and cognitive space to harness the incredible power, insight and experience we offer, but focused not on the individual processes but instead on the overall outcomes our organisations are seeking to achieve."

Hey - come on in - the shop is open.
Ding ding! Don't mind that, that's just the bell on the door.
If you saw me perform it, and would now like to read it, this is where you can get your copy of 'Each of Us (And Other Things)' and other things.
Even if you didn't, you can still buy it here.
The book is 80 pages long and has the full text of the stage piece (plus or minus a few edits I made along the way). Then there's a short story called 'Please Wait Here' which I wrote for an art project called (Now that would be) Telling. Then there's a set of three love poems I wrote for various Valentine's Days. And a piece about a game I invented called Sartorial Mastermind for an Idler night at the ICA. Finally, there's a bit at the back of the book about various bits and bobs to do with the stage show and the nonsenses I passed along the way.
It was printed by Printbar and I did all the proofing and layout myself so there may well be a few flubs - sorry!
Each book is individually signed and numbered; the current edition (the second) is limited to only 400 copies.
I'll gladly write a dedication to you or someone you love - there's a box during under the Paypal checkout which asks "Would you like a dedication?" and that's where you can tell me what to write...
Oh, and you get a free badge with the book - it says "each of us" in lovely Helvetica.
Each of Us (and other things) costs just £6 (bargain) plus postage and packaging of £1.50 for UK customers (First Class mail) and £3 for International customers (Small Package Airmail).
UPDATE: It's also available as an eBook for the Kindle from Amazon. This only contains the short story 'Each of Us' and none of the other things, but it is fairly cheap - Each of Us eBOOK
You can also buy signed copies of the book More Trees to Climb here.
More Trees to Climb has the texts of 3 of my other solo shows as short stories. There's Coelacanth, Not Everything is Significant and A Supercollider for the Family. The brilliant Stewart Lee wrote an introduction to me and my work and again there's a bit at the back of the book, kind of like a DVD extra.
More Trees to Climb costs £8 (usual price £9.99) with postage and packaging of £1.50 per book in the UK, and £3 for international shipping. For that you get a signed copy of the book (and I'm happy to write any dedication you wish; maybe it's a present for someone?. If you leave no instructions in the box under the PayPal Button it will just contain a signature) and a free gift of an "I have more trees to climb" badge, posted to anywhere in the world, by First Class post in the UK and by Royal Mail Small Package Airmail abroad.
And I am also selling a Compact Disc called Almost the Right People. It's full of music by Simon Oakes and his various collaborators in his bands Grand Western and Suns of the Tundra. He was in Rock Monsters 'Peach' (an offshoot of 'Tool') and he's written the scores to my shows for many many years now. In 2009 we put together a selection of tracks from the soundtracks of the stage pieces along with music he developed inspired by my stories and it's a lovely thing.
The CD costs £5 with postage and packing of £1.50 per CD in the UK and £3 for international customers, making a total to you of £6.50 per disc for domestic customers and £8 per disc for international customers. They come shrink-wrapped in glamorous plastic, so there's all that fun of opening it to look forward to.
Now if you'd like a combination of the above items, it gets tricky for Paypal to understand, so in the drop-down menu it looks like the options at a Fast Food Restaurant.
You know how this sort of thing works.

You automatically get a £1 discount for buying more than one item - that's cool, right?
For the combo packs I've kept P&P costs to a flat £3 for the UK and £5 for worldwide.
All the combinations feature extra free gifts of badges, maybe a postcard, some new bit of writing or something.
If you've seen Pronoun Trouble (or even if you haven't) you may be in desperate need of a collection of badges displaying some of the key words from the show. Well, your desperation ends now, as I'm selling packs of five badges to satisfy your empty lapels.
They are 25mm in diameter and say "duck season," "rabbit season," "laundrette," "launderette" and "pronoun trouble," all in post-modern lower case text, and are made of a metal.
Each set comes in a small clear plastic wallet, and is priced at just £4 plus £1 postage and packaging for the UK and £2.50 postage and packaging worldwide, making a total of £5 for UK customers and £6.50 for international customers.
Badges are way cool.
And if you'd like a video download of the show to go with a set of badges, I can sell you that too.
A recording of Pronoun Trouble was made by the excellent people at Go Faster Stripe at Chapter Arts, Cardiff on 24th February 2018 and can be yours to own forever. Here's a couple of screen captures:
It's super-nice and comes with extras - and is totally available from the GFS shop page HERE.
But if you'd like me to send you an envelope with a pre-approved download code (and instructions on how to get the show) as well as a set of badges, I can do that for you today for the low, low price of £7. Plus £1 postage and packaging for the UK and £2.50 postage and packaging worldwide, making a total of £8 for UK customers and £9.50 for international customers.
If you hate hanging around for post to arrive and can't wait to get your eyes on the show, do please purchase it from GFS - it's cheaper but they don't have the badges!
So OK, now here comes the actual shopping bit.
Choose your location and your purchases just here below, add them to your cart and, with a swift click, you'll go to a secure page at PayPal and they will sort out your payment.
Like a pal.
Once I receive details of an order through Paypal I'll send you a confirmation email from firstname.lastname@example.com and let you know when your item(s) is(are) going into the post. Any problems with your order, please contact me on that address.
Each of Us is also available at Go Faster Stripe, and Bookseller Crow on the Hill.
More Trees to Climb is only available still at all good bookshops (and that's how you can tell it's a good book shop).
Or of course you can buy it from amazon.co.uk (slightly cheaper, but not signed, and without any free gifts) hereAlmost the Right People and more of the music of Simon Oakes and Suns of the Tundra can be found on their Facebook page.
Happy shopping and may I say how well you're looking today?
In addition to EACH OF US being self-published as a Kindle eBook, I've also put on sale at Amazon the texts of POPPY DAY (my show from 1999), MY LAST WEEK WITH MODOLIA (from 1998) and "TWELVE!" (my 1996 show). They are about a quid each and really, they're for completists only - they each contain some brilliantly bad jokes for which I can only apologise. But maybe you'd like them.
UK customers can buy them using the following links:
Each of Us
Poppy Day
My Last Week with Modolia
Residents of other countries should search their own Amazon Kindle sites - they're there somewhere!

STR: Preliminary August data for London hotels
STR's preliminary August 2017 data for hotels in London, England, indicates a year-over-year decline in occupancy levels, but growth in average daily rate (ADR).
Based on daily data from August, London reported the following in year-over-year comparisons:
- Supply: +4.0%
- Demand: +1.2%
- Occupancy: -2.7% to 82.3%
- Average daily rate (ADR): +3.0% to GBP143.28
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): +0.2% to GBP117.90
August marked London's 10th consecutive month of ADR growth, due primarily to the pound devaluation caused by the June 2016 Brexit vote. STR analysts note that London's occupancy decline was a result of the spike in supply. The number of rooms sold in the market went up, but supply grew at a quicker rate.
STR will release full August 2017 results later this month.

Decorating your holiday dinner table
The stockings have been hung with care and our halls are decked with boughs of holly. Now, it's time to turn our attention to the dining table, the centerpiece for our indulgent feasts. Surely the decadent display of holiday favorites will be a delight to our eyes {and our bellies} all on its own, but topping off your table with accessories and decorative accents can elevate the experience. To help you, here is my quick and easy guide for decorating your holiday dinner table:
1. Set the mood
Determine the feeling you want to convey. Formal? Simple? Eclectic? Modern? Extend the seasonal style you've spread throughout your home onto your holiday dinner table. Think of it as an encore! It's okay to mix moods, too. Do you lean towards a modern aesthetic, but love to embrace the traditional colors this time of year? Sprinkle some accents that air on the side of classic into your overall contemporary approach. Think 80% modern and 20% traditional, but 100% you. The most important element here is to hone in on what "holiday dinner" means to you, after all you are the hostess.
2. Choose your palette
Now that we have touched on the tone of your dining experience, let's talk color. When it comes to accessorizing your holiday dinner table, there are several ways to apply a palette. The first approach is to follow your home's existing color palette. There is no harm, no holiday party foul in using your everyday linens, centerpieces and accents if it's what you have on hand. For the traditionalists, nudge towards a classic color scheme like red, green and gold or blue, white and metallics. Monochromatic palettes are perfect for those that seek a sleek, contemporary vibe. Here, aim for accessories in varying shades of one color and consider different textures to add visual interest, too. Last but not least, for the eclectic crowd, there are no rules when it comes to holiday color palettes. Play around with what you're drawn to.
3. Use what you have
This is a piece of advice that I will always emphasize and stand behind. Before you venture to the stores, shop your home first and foremost. Peruse your attic, buffet, basement or closet to find those treasures that may have been cycled out of your everyday rotation. Breathe new life into your accessories that may be collecting dust in their current location. Spice things up for your holiday dinner table! Think glass & metallic containers of all shapes and sizes, candle sticks, goblets, decorative bowls, trays, and vases, cake stands and tiered displays. Stock up on basic "filler" items like pinecones, candles, bead strands, ribbon, lights and fresh evergreens. Wrapped candies, nuts, berries and fresh fruit also make for great add-ons that came come straight from your pantry.
4. Strength in numbers
One of the biggest mistakes that many homeowners make when attacking the task of accessorizing is they opt to spread their items out far and wide throughout a room. In the case of decorating your holiday dinner table, the lesser space equals more of an impact. Opt to group like items in clusters rather than trying to space them out evenly along the length of your table. A designer tip: aim for odd-numbered groupings. I also want to weigh in with a practical hand here; don't feel like you need to accessorize edge to edge. If you typically serve your guests family style {rather than a plated meal or buffet, for example} it's important to leave sufficient real estate for the reason that everyone's joining you, the food!
5. Layer, layer, layer
Last but not least, let's talking layering. Give your groupings and vignettes visual interest by differing the height of pieces. Layers help to create unity, by elevating your design from a flat, one-dimensional display, and allow each piece to be seen, too. Use varying bases to help, for example those cake stands and trays I suggested digging out of your china cabinet. Another great source are materials found just outside your door, such as evergreen branches and slices of tree stumps. Layer loose greens to create a natural table runner, for example. Turn vases and containers upside-down to use their bases as a platform for votives or figurines. Festive linens, unique place cards and coordinating napkin rings are excellent finishing touches that double as layers atop your place settings.
As you prepare to host your loved ones this weekend, I encourage you to jazz up your holiday dinner tables with a festive pinch of panache. Please feel free to post and boast; I would love for you to share pictures of your holiday tablescapes on my Facebook page.
Happy holidays, from my family to you and yours!

Good Morning!
This morning's flatlay inspired me to write a blog post on slogan knits. Now, I have to admit I am a little bit fussy when it comes to slogans. I think that there is a fine line between tasteful and tacky, but I am afraid I couldn't give you any defining characteristics, it's simply a 'yay' or a 'nay'. I am exactly the same when it comes to florals. It's just a gut feeling. Some I love, others I loathe. I suppose if I really drill down on slogans, I tend to veer toward very simple slogans and designs (usually french) and I avoid anything too wordy, too youthful or too political. If I think it's something my twelve year old daughter would wear, it's a definite no!
My Markus Lupfer 'Bonjour' knit is at least four years old, which I think goes to show that slogans stick around and it is worth investing in good quality. My favourite slogan jumpers are from Bella Freud and Chinti and Parker (almost all of them bought from sample sales or sales) and they still look great, despite years of wear and washing. I should mention that I couldn't live without my cashmere comb. I wear a lot of cashmere and have found that even the softest, most expensive cashmere will bobble. It's not a sign of poor quality, I think it's just what happens to cashmere over time, but a little comb before each wear and you will keep your jumpers in great condition.
Here is my edit of my favourite slogan knits and sweatshirts available at the moment.
Happy Shopping and thanks for reading as always.
Chloe x
Thanks- you have already facilitated some of my cashmere buys! Can you recommend a particular comb? Don't have one.
This is the one I have. I find that they are more gentle than the debobbler machine things
That's so kind for you to take the time to reply. Thank you! Have ordered myself one. And no delivery charge- woo hoo!
I was just about to donate a cashmere jumper as I thought there was no saving it so thanks for that! Can you use this comb on regular knits too?
Loving these – the French ones are the best aren't they!?
Cashmere combs are great on most things that get a bit bobbly. I tend to de-fuzz mine while I have them on the ironing board. And I've thrown away my battery powered de-fuzzer, way to risky on my precious cashmere! (Speaking from experience, sadly) 🙁

Pronunciation is not a thing to be learnt from book only, though they are exact source for good pronunciation after learning phonetic symbols with audio-visual aid.
All the best!
Skip to content
In my work as a teacher trainer I have been surprised at how often experienced teachers are reluctant to tackle pronunciation issues in class. I can think of at least two reasons why pronunciation tends to be neglected: firstly, the lack of clear guidelines and rules available in course books, and secondly the fact that isolated exercises once a month do not seem to have much of an effect. This is not surprising, however; like all other areas of language teaching, pronunciation needs constant attention for it to have a lasting effect on students, which means integrating it into daily classroom procedures. I find that addressing issues regularly during the language feedback or group correction stage of a lesson helps to focus learners' attention on its importance and leads to more positive experiences.
Using student talk to teach pronunciation
Pronunciation work can be kept simple and employ exercises which are both accessible and enjoyable for students, whatever their level. Whenever students do a freer speaking activity, the main aim is usually for them
to develop their spoken fluency in the language. However, the activity also serves to work on students' accuracy through the feedback we give them on their use of language.
Word stress
Here is a simple exercise I repeat regularly for work on word stress and individual sounds.
Vowel sounds
I hear a pre-intermediate learner say: 'Not now because he is did (dead)'.
I hear an intermediate learner say: 'I didn't find (pronounced / f i: n d /) it anywhere'.
Weak forms
I hear an elementary learner say: 'I will buy vegetables (pronouncing 'table' at the end)'. I note that this is also an opportunity to work on word stress.
Sentence stress
I use fluency drills to work on sentence stress. I hear an intermediate learner say: 'He told me I couldn't have
a holiday' (bold words are stressed). This causes confusion due to the stress being placed on the wrong words
in the sentence, i.e. the pronouns, or grammar words, as opposed to the content words.
Admittedly, this latter exercise on sentence stress does seem to take longer to have an effect, but if highlighted early on and practised relatively often, students do seem to internalise how English stress differs from their own language and helps overcome what in later stages of learning becomes a fossilised way of speaking. Sentence stress causes more communication problems for a fluent speaker than any number of grammatical errors.
One of the beauties of using student speech for pronunciation work is that it directly addresses students' problems. I have attempted to provide a couple of very simple exercises here to help teachers integrate pronunciation into their classes on a regular basis. Regular work in this area helps learners to develop their own hypotheses and gut-feeling for English pronunciation, something experts and researchers have long emphasised as an essential skill of a good language learner.

In a pre-budget note to FM, airlines have requested the government not to tax foreign pilots under Indian income-tax laws but treat them as scarce technical manpower. If accepted, this will help the domestic airlines to cut their wage bill for foreign pilots by around one-third.

Review of Timothy Brook's Collaboration
In the most recent issue of The Journal of Asian Studies there is a review of Timothy Brook's new work Collaboration: Japanese Agents and Local Elites in Wartime China written by Susan Glosser. I was very disappointed with this review which, except for a few conciliatory lines in the beginning of the review, was very critical of Brook's work. While I agree with Glosser on one or two points, I found her to be far too harsh, sometimes irrelevant (she complains that he does not offer a glossary with the Chinese names of all the organizations mentioned, but they can be found under the index entry for every organization) and in several instances clearly wrong in her assessment of the book, which I believe is a truly excellent contribution to the scholarship on Chinese collaboration during the occupation.
Timothy Brook's work is a careful look at the issues surrounding Chinese wartime collaboration through a close examination of a number of case studies from the Yangtze delta. With the exception of some work I have read in Japanese and some coming out of Taiwan, this is the most detailed source based research I have seen of this kind to date.
Here I just want to contest three points in Glosser's critique of Brook's work that I think particularly unfair. She argues that 1) Brook doesn't discuss the "problem of generalizing from one city to another." 2) She complains about Brook's allegedly unproblematized use of the word "pacification" (such as in referring to Japan's "pacification teams.") 3) Glosser spends almost a third of the review critiquing Brook's "desire to avoid moral judgments" and his allegedly "neutral stance" on issue of Chinese collaboration.

AND Mark your calendars for the 11th Annual Quivira Coalition Conference: How to Feed Nine Billion People from the Ground Up: Soil, Seeds, Water, Plants, Livestock, Forests, Organics, and People, November 14-16th, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Global human population is projected to reach nine billion by 2050, which means food production will need to expand by 70% to keep up. Fulfilling this demand will place unprecedented pressure on ecosystems, including the planet's grasslands, especially as competition grows for scarce natural resources. How to meet this daunting challenge while ensuring the health of land, water, wildlife and people will be one of the great tasks of the 21st century. In this conference, we will explore a variety of innovative practices that are already successfully intensifying food production while preserving, maintaining, and restoring the natural world. Speakers will share their hands-on experience and ideas for feeding all life - from the ground up. For more info go to www.quiviracoalition.org.

the removal of lead from most gasoline. In addition, the gradual phase in of cleaner automobiles and powerplants reduced atmospheric levels of carbon monoxide by 30%, nitrogen oxides by 6%, ozone by 8%, and sulfur dioxide by 20%. Levels of fine particulate matter (PM-10, otherwise known as dust and soot) dropped 10% since the PM-10 standard was set in 1987 (Council on Environmental Quality 1993).
Despite this progress, 86 million people live in U.S. counties where the pollution levels in 1991 exceeded at least one national air quality standard, based on data for a single year. Figure 5.1.3 shows this data. Urban smog continues to be the most prevalent problem; 70 million people live in U.S. counties where the 1991 pollution levels exceeded the standard for ozone.
Many areas release toxic pollutants into the air. The latest EPA toxics release inventory shows a total of 2.2 billion lb of air toxics released nationwide in 1990 (Council on Environmental Quality 1993).
The primary sources of major air pollutants in the United States are transportation, fuel combustion, industrial processes, and solid waste disposal. Figures 5.1.4 through 5.1.9 show the relative contribution of these sources on a nationwide basis for particulates, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, VOCs, carbon monoxide, and lead. Table 5.1.1 contains statistics on the emissions from key sources of these six major pollutants.
Figure 5.1.10 shows anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide emissions, mainly fuel combustion, from 1950-1990. Table 5.1.2 contains information on the source contributions. Solid and liquid fuel combustion have been the major contributors.

In my opinion, Freedom Writers is a remarkable true story about a teacher, Erin Gruwell, played by Hilary Swank that makes a difference in a group of violent gang invested kids. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it!
Everyday is like living in a war zone for these kids, they divide themselves into tribes and try to survive one day at a time. Why are they fighting? They say they are fighting for race, pride and respect.
An unsuspecting teacher comes into their lives and encourages them to see the value in themselves and each other. She inspires them to stop, take a look at their lives and make a change. Together they begin to build themselves and create value in the world by sharing their stories.
I think before any shift amongst people can happen, first there needs to be understanding and compassion. How far would have Erin been able to go with this kids without first trying to understand, where they have been and where they are at now? Sure she could of run them through the conveyer belt of the educational system, but purpose what that have served?
It's interesting to me how these shifts happen and how we can all participate in our own lives to make a difference.
I had someone ask me recently, is there a collective mission that ALL people around the world can live by no matter what your race, religion, and status? What do you think that would be? They asked me to imagine a world where I could still live by my beliefs and include a higher collective belief that would move all people forward?
I want to ask you all of you the same question.
In my opinion this story is incredibly inspirational; one of my favorite quotes comes to mind "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world." – Margaret Mead.

Greetings people! I uploaded a new video today, called AuthorTube Newbie Tag. The point of this tag is to answer 13 questions about you as a writer and authortuber. I know – I've been doing Authortube for several months, but I still feel like a newbie most of the time. (insert awkward smile here)
If you want to get to know me as a writer a little better, hear about the misfortune of my first ever novel writing attempt, or just want to stare at Niles' fluff for 10 minutes, then be my guest and take a look.
Cheers 🙂

Been ruminating on this one for a while (isn't it funny how deep personal understanding of a word can make it at once more crude and more perfectly appropriate?) anyway, I've been ruminating on relevance. And I'm becoming convinced that more than interest, more than engagement, more than challenge or even feedback, relevance is the key to motivation in education.
rel-e-vance : relation to the matter at hand : PERTINANCE
per-ti-nent : [from L to reach, belong] : to belong to something as a care or concern or duty, to have reference to, to be appropriate or suitable for application.
Relevant material is suitable for application to the matter at hand. Relevant instruction carries with it care and concern, a duty to relate to the matter at hand. So, what is the matter at hand? I think it's deceptively simple. In that way that makes it really easy to answer that question in a workshop (or a comments section) and yet still be baffled when it comes to actually doing it. I think the "matter at hand," for students of all ages all over the world is simply LIFE.
The matter at hand is taking over the family business. It's getting in to college, recovering from an addition, caring for a goldfish. It's feeding 5 kids, fighting a repossession, responding to an inspiration, responding to a threat. It's amortizing and annotating and apologizing. The matter at hand is LIFE.
Relevant material is suitable for application to life. Relevant instruction is concerned with life.
In the course of this musing (as carpenters with only hammers are famously prone to do) I have begun to see many of my biggest teaching peeves as so many faces of irrelevance: The oblivious lecturer who fails even to relate speech to slides, let alone to students...The dogmatic instructor who dismisses anything outside the relations he's already established...The one to whom the theory of his field is the only matter with a right to be at hand.
As a student in those situations, it's hard to relate--to the subject or the instructor.
The other part of this though (and I find this over and over too--if I look deeply enough at something that irks me, I'm bound to find my part in it) is that if relevance is really as simple as relation to the matter at hand, then the more matter I have "at hand" as a student, the more curious and engaged I am, the more connected I become to the people and processes of the world, the more there is to my LIFE, the more instruction will be "relevant" for me.
Is relevance then as much the responsibility of the student as the teacher?

8 ounces, semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup, strong coffee
3 ounces, butter, unsalted - softened
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon, salt
1/4 cup, sugar
1 cup, heavy cream
ice cubes
Break chocolate (if not in chip form) into a 2-quart sauce pan, add coffee, cover pan and set into a larger pan of simmering water. At once, remove water pan from heat and set aside. In 5 minutes or so, when chocolate is melted and smooth, beat in butter and egg yolks.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat 3 egg whites until foaming; beat in salt and continue beating until the egg whites form soft peaks. Continue beating and sprinkle in sugar; beat until egg whites form stiff, shining peaks.
Fold egg whites delicately into the chocolate mixture.
Pour heavy cream into a metal bowl and set in a larger bowl containing a tray of ice cubes with water to cover them. Using a large balloon-shaped whisk or a hand-held electric beater, whip the cream until doubled in volume (to beat in as much air as possible, circulate beater about the bowl); beater should leave light traces in the surface of the cream--do no over beat.
Fold the cream into the chocolate. ~Julia Child

We are now in the new tax year 2013-14 and there are some changes that have now come into effect. In summary these are:
New Tax Year - The changes
- Increase in personal allowance to 9,440
- 50% tax rate lowered to 45%
- Start paying 40% tax after 41,450 fall from 42,475
- Every payroll must be reported to HMRC (Real Time Information - RTI) – see previous blog for more details.
Impact on owners of limited company (incorporated) businesses is an increase in the weekly salary of owner directors to new NI efficient threshold, requirement to communicate monthly payroll to HMRC and decrease basic tax rate band for dividend payment at lower rate.
If you are lucky enough to earn over 150,000 per annum then you will not only pay 5% less tax on salary above this threshold at 45%, you will also pay 5% less on dividend income at 37.5%.
If you would like to find out more how this may impact you please contact me on 01892 710 510 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com
