'A disservice to the people', says Holness about PNP's boycott threat
Prime Minister Andrew Holness
Prime Minister Andrew Holness has described as unfortunate the threat by the Opposition People's National Party (PNP) to withdraw from the Vale Royal talks if Dr Andrew Wheatley is not relieved of all his ministerial duties over his stewardship of the scandal-hit Petrojam oil refinery.
The PNP also threatened not to continue supporting the Government's legislative agenda if its demand is not met.
Opposition Leader, Dr Peter Phillips, told journalists during a press conference on Monday that the decision of the prime minister to only strip Wheatley of the energy portfolio, and leave him as the Minister of Science and Technology, does not go far enough.
But Holness, who was speaking with journalists outside Union Estate in St Catherine on Tuesday, said "it would be a great disservice to the people (of Jamaica) if the Opposition were to pull out of those very important co-operative efforts."
He added: "I think the country moves forward with the Opposition and the Government drawing out areas where they can co-operate, and they agree on, because in modern politics, a level of maturity has to be exhibited. Not everything should be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency."
Meanwhile, the prime minister said he will not act based on rumours in relation to the embattled Wheatley.
According to Holness, the actions he has taken so far are based on the evidence that is before him.
"We are still discovering, still interviewing persons. Yesterday (Monday) we had a long meeting with senior management of the energy division and Petrojam, and we are working towards discovery," the prime minister said.
He said the public should be very confident that there is no attempt at covering up or hiding or ignoring the serious allegations that have been made.
Holness said the public should also bear in mind that there is a process that must be followed.
He said some of the allegations about Petrojam are not true. While admitting that he was in a difficult position, he said he would not act on "baseless allegations that are not true", as "that in itself is dangerous".
In conclusion, he said: "The balance that we have struck is to ensure that we, as quickly as possible, investigate, discover, call to account, ask for reports, and then act on that."

Leuty Lifeguard Station photo by John Vetterli
The Beaches — known as "the Beach" by its residents — is a prestigious and popular destination for a relaxing walk, a heart-pumping roller blade or a calming bike ride at sunset along the boardwalk lining the shore of Lake Ontario. The surrounding tree lined streets are peppered with original Victorian and Edwardian homes (all beautifully preserved) mixed with luxury modern-style homes. Walking along the commercial district of Queen Street East, anyone can experience a large number of specialty stores, cafés, and restaurants; places where friends and families can meet to catch up or find some treasured gems. The close knit community consisting of executives and artists, and the fact that no building is over four stories high, gives this Toronto neighborhood a truly small town flavour.[/colored_box]
Brief History
The Ashbridges family first settled the Beaches in 1793. The Ashbridges, along with a few other families, farmed the district until the latter part of the 1880's when many of the Beach properties were subdivided. Extended areas of land were set aside for local parks, which collectively became Toronto's playgrounds by the lake. Hotels and resorts were developed, including Victoria Park, Kew Gardens and the Scarboro' Heights Hotel. Development continued and by the end of the 18th century the first church and school had been built. By the 1920's, the city of Toronto was expanding eastward and the Beaches was then absorbed with the amalgamation of surrounding communities.
From the Beaches' earliest days people from across the city flocked to here to relax and enjoy its racetracks, amusement parks and lakeside camps. One of the best-known summer attractions was the Scarboro' Beach Amusement Park, which opened in 1907. By 1925 the park was bought by developers and was transformed into a residential neighborhood.
"The Beach" versus "The Beaches"
There has been an endless debate about whether the official term for the area is The Beach or The Beaches. Old school Beachers call the area "The Beach" and claim that this has been the traditional name for the area for generations. The Beach is the more historically correct title. New and younger residents and a majority of the GTA tend to side with the title "The Beaches".
April of 2006 saw the Beaches Business Improvement Association hold a pole to answer the long-standing question: Is the neighborhood called "The Beach" or the "Beaches?" The Beach won by 58%. This year saw the city posting new street signs in the area labeled "The Beach."
No matter the name, the Beach or the Beaches, this is an exciting area of town, with something amusing and entertaining for everyone. There are numerous historical landmarks to see such as Kew Beach Fire Station No.227 — completed in August 1906 and still an active fire hall; the R.C Harris Water Treatment Plant — a beautiful Art Deco water treatment facility built in 1930, designated a national historic civil engineering site; and the Fox Theatre — built in 1914, Toronto's oldest operating movie theatre.
The Beaches is also host to one of the most popular outdoor events in the Toronto area: The Beaches International Jazz Festival, which runs in the month of July, seeing 2 km of Queen St. East shut down for good music and good times. The event draws thousands of tourists to the area every year.
Definitely a hub of great living in Canada's most populated city, the Beaches is one of our favourite places and one the great neighbourhoods of the GTA. For a great tour guide of the Beaches area, visit www.beachesliving.ca

A Sparking New You: Teeth Whitening in Kalamazoo, MI
Are you the sort of person that's afraid to smile in photos? Are you embarrassed because your pearly whites aren't looking that pearly or white? Have you tried everything from whitening toothpaste and strips to no avail? Well, it might be time to look into professional teeth whitening.
Dull or stained teeth can impact your life in many ways. It can be embarrassing and make you feel self-conscious in social situations. Often times, drug store solutions are a waste of time and money. Professional teeth whitening in Kalamazoo, MI is different. It's effective, affordable, and will leave your teeth truly glistening once again.
If you're looking for a true professional, make an appointment with Stephanie M Busch – Abbate DDS PLC. She has years of experience in the field, and will help give you the beautiful smile you always dreamed of.
What Causes Staining?
While you should always brush and floss twice a day, there are some things even the best brushers can't prevent. Staining is caused by the wearing away of tooth enamel, which leads to the dentin underneath becoming exposed. Dentin itself is darker and can add to the discoloration. It's not just acidic foods coffee and smoking that can dull a smile's luster. As we age, enamel does gradually wear away. The less enamel, the more likely it is your teeth will stain.
Why Seek a Professional?
As mentioned previously, drug store options are mostly ineffective because they deal with surface stains. You can attempt to bleach your teeth to get at the darker discoloration, but doing it yourself can lead to uneven whitening that leaves teeth unevenly colored.
Professional teeth whitening is far safer and much more effective. The results last much longer, and your dentist will be able to help you maintain that beautiful smile with routine visits and lifestyle changes to minimize future staining.

Hi everyone!
This week started with a regular day.
On Tuesday I had my birthday 🙂 one year older again… But it was a good day and I got an extra day off for this day! I enjoyed it a lot. We did some picnic and a really good and delicious dinner with my girlfriend. On the day before I invited Dan, Tara and Sofia to dinner with us. It was a good night with lots of laughing and stories 🙂 I got a super cake from Dan and Tara, it was oohh my gooood J Mars chocolate flavored!
We had try dives and we started to have more and more snorkeling tours. It looks like people love it a lot. They can see and swim with turtles.
We started to use the boat for snorkeling tours also including with lunch and 2-3 stops on different snorkel sites. But of course the main purpose of the boat is diving!
We went with Adrian and Dan to do one dive only for fun. The site was Yellow mountain on a different route. It wasn't so interesting but we had the feeling that is something new and who knows what we will find. We found a bathtub J so Dan got the idea to sit inside like doing SPA J in the same moment I got the idea to upgrade it to a Jacuzzi so I started to freeflow the regulator to do bubbles J was really funny!!
After we did our Halloween dive in Alcalá.
Dan dressed like Dracula, Adrian as a butcher-serial killer and I was a mummy! What a team J
I think soon you can see the photos also on the facebook site of the center.
Was fun! We prepared really good.
Next week looks like will be more busy… Our table is totally full!!! At the moment only Sunday is empty. We will have 2 or 3 open water courses and lots of booked dives.
And Alvaro our new divemaster trainee will start also on the beginning of the week!
See you after a busy week!

Bench Endowment Program
Celebrate Life's Events with our Bench Endowment Program
Many people inquire about a meaningful way to improve the parks with a gift that will be of lasting benefit. Our Bench Endowment program provides an opportunity to make a gift to the parks in honor of a loved one, in memory of a special friend, or in expression of thanks.
The benches are comfortable, well-made, and designed to last. Three models are currently available, two Classic Style Benches perfect for enjoying a lakeside sunset or woodland view, and the Indiana Limestone Bench that gives a place for people to rest in the formal areas of our parks.
The Classic Style Bench is cast iron with either steel slats or recycled plastic slats and has a bronze plaque attached on the back rest. The classic bench is typically located near park facilities, playgrounds, along trails, or park gathering places.
The Indiana Limestone Bench is very sustainable and has a bronze plaque attached on the front face of the bench seat. The limestone bench is typically located adjacent to historic park features.
Please contact us if you would like to contribute to the Bench Endowment Program. Thank you.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending NGCX, The Next Gen Customer Experience Conference. NGCX brought together over 300 industry executives to discuss customer experience design, culture and innovation in an intimate and interactive environment. The organizers were true to their promise that you will not just be sitting at a table listening to people talk at you for three days. The days were filled with opportunities to exchange and learn from peers.
Below I highlight my four takeaways from attending NGCX.
A customer-centric roadmap
Dexter Johnson, Head of Enterprise Customer Experience at Farmers Insurance, kicked off NGCX by providing tips and tricks on how to navigate the CX improvement journey. Firstly, he looked at how you need to assess where you are in the journey of improving the customer experience. Improving the customer experience can reap enormous rewards from increased customer loyalty and revenue but as he mentioned, it is hard to delight your customers if you don't have the basics right. Furthermore, CX improvement is not something you can do alone; you need to find internal allies and CX champions. One critical ally that Dexter identified was finance, and how it is important to include financial linkage from retention to cross-sell in your CX programs.
Dexter also looked at how culture and environment is what drives customer experience so you need to map out your culture, define the process and set goals. A key element to a successful CX roadmap is access to the voice of your customers. Thanks to the Voice of the Customer (VoC), Farmers Insurance was able to stop debating internally what is best for the customer. With VoC data they could quickly see the path to resolution and improvement directly from those that matter most, their customers.
As Dexter's presentation came to an end he mentioned that CX professionals need to commit to the journey once it is set. Becoming a customer-centric organization doesn't happen overnight. There is rigorous planning, continuous tracking and constant communication. The organizations that stick to the journey create successful CX programs that drive results.
A customer-centric culture
A common theme during NGCX was the importance of creating a customer-centric culture. Janet Song, SVP Member Services at Dollar Shave Club, discussed the importance of empowering the frontline during her keynote Your People Are Your Front Line. Your Front Line Is Brand Strategy.
Janet explained how at Dollar Shave Club, the Member Services organization serves as the strategic, day-to-day front line of the brand. Dollar Shave Club recognizes that their front line brand ambassadors have a direct impact on the brand experience and have invested in ensuring that the member services organizations are empowered, motivated and driven. Janet shared lots of great examples on how to empower the front line and as a result of their initiatives had zero turnover in 2015 for front line employees.
The voice of the customer plays a critical role in creating a customer-centric culture that empowers the entire organization. Janet Song recommended "Arm your team with VOC data, CX metrics and customer insight. Invest in robust reporting tools and deploy them."
Customer-centric innovation
A key to creating differentiated customer experiences is surprising and delighting your customers. Bill Linehan, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer at Red Lion Hotels Corporation, examined this during his keynote Creating A Differentiated And Relevant Customer Experience Enabled By Emergent Technology.
At Red Lion Hotels, Bill looked at how they are reinventing the concept of loyalty. With an average of 29 loyalty programs per household, how do you drive loyalty in today's market where loyalty programs are a commodity? Red Lion Hotels solution was to focus on the customer experience and provide a great customer service as this triggers the same cerebral reactions as feeling loved.
Image from @cris_salamanc
To achieve this, Red Lion Hotels needed technology that would provide a holistic view of their customer. REV PAK, Red Lion Hotels' central guest management system, was the solution and it provides a holistic view of the customer by integrating all systems across touch-points into a single platform. This central management system empowers the organization to put the customer at the center of their organization. Thanks to their guest management platform, Red Lion Hotels was able to differentiate themselves and create loyalty by surprising and delighting guests on each visit. As an example, with "whisper screens", the front desk can knowingly recognize a guest and greet them with a personalized experience. On each stay Red Lion Hotels welcomes their guests with a surprise perk that is aligned to their interests. This helps set the stage for a memorable experience and satisfies the need for instant gratification.
Customer experience is the new marketing
Today's reality is that in the age of the empowered customer, customer experience is the new marketing. This was the topic of Duff Anderson's, SVP and Co-founder at iPerceptions, presentation where he looked at how new technologies are necessary to provide a differentiated customer experience. He shared how you can empower your organization to put the voice of the customer at the center of your organization. One of the ways iPerceptions is helping companies achieve this is through Active Recognition Technology (ART). Duff explained that with ART you can evolve your voice of the customer programs from decision support to real-time personalization. With ART you can leverage your VoC data to recognize visitors who are likely to have a negative experience and collect feedback to prioritize UX improvements. You can improve the effectiveness of your live chat systems, by recognizing the difference between a visitor who is on your site to purchase and a visitor on your site for support. Finally, he touched on how you can improve brand perception and optimize retargeting campaigns by showing the right ads to the right person by recognizing their intent.
If you missed the session or if you would like to learn more about how you can evolve your voice of the customer program from decision support to real-time recognition and personalization, schedule a meeting with Duff.
Customer experience is everyone's job
At the end of the day, customer experience is one of the few things that you can control. It is everyone's job, from marketing to the front line to operations. To succeed in the age of the customer, you need to ensure the voice of your customer is at the center of the organization.
NGCX was an exciting three days of learning, networking and knowledge sharing with those who are at the forefront of customer experience. I look forward to next year's edition. In the meantime, to find out more about the conversations that took place at NGCX check out #NGCX on Twitter.

Best Quote I Heard All Day
While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness.
--Gilda Radner
I should be busy polishing up my presentation for tomorrow's National Operations meeting in NYC. I will. It's important. But not as important as some other things.
Loss is a powerful thing. It can permeate your life forever. Losing your job, losing your health, losing a loved one.
I was going to avoid thinking about the 2nd anniversary of 9/11. The loss of so many and the loss to so many only reminds me of my own personal losses during the past two years: a job that was lost directly because of 9/11; a husband lost 3 months later to a violent disease that neither of us could battle; the loss of a man who made me believe I could love again and then vanished from my life without a trace; and finally, the loss of my house, the house that I was going to stay in for the rest of my life with Jim.
I think that 9/11 has made us all more fearful of loss and less confident in life. I know that I fight those feelings every day because life cannot be ruled by loss.
It seems a trivial thing, knitting. After all, what is it but some needles and yarn? A trivial pursuit, if you will, in the scheme of life. Yet it has helped me focus time and time again, taking me away from my worries and troubles, and restoring my sense of accomplishment and optimism.
While packing up all my yarn and books and needles and knitting accoutrements the other week, I found the sweater I was working on in the hospital the day Jim died. I will never finish it, most likely. It belongs to the past and my old life. But I'll keep the pieces as a remembrance and go on to new projects.
Sometimes the pain of loss can blossom into a whole new flower.
As we used to say in the '60s, peace.

Rita is an Irish Artist, Illustrator and Textile Print Designer.
Her background in Nursing, Psychology and Psychotherapy greatly influence her work, adding depth and meaning to her hand drawings.
Inspired by nature, her travels and her surroundings in general, Rita is probably best known for her hand drawings of Birds, Butterflies, Abstract drawings about life in general and most recently she has added her love of horses in her new Equestrian range to be launched in March '19.
These are then reproduced in a stunning collection of silk scarves and ties. Each design has its own story, for example, 'Birds on the wheel', is about migratory birds and 'Butterfly circle', is about moths or butterflies that are attracted to the light and to flowers. When seen together it is magic.
Rita started her own label and set up her textile print business in July 2017
Rita has also developed a range of 100% silk, mens pocket squares and ties. Any of the designs or drawings can also be rendered on art paper and framed to any scale you desire. Contact me directly with any queries or commissions.

This one is the Tower of Terror in the Hollywood Tower Hotel. We don't LOOK scared, but we are.
Getting SOAKED at the Grizzly River Run
Waiting in line - this one had a bit of a wait on a hot day
This is what the tubes looked like - giant intertubes that seat 8 people.
Remember this one Matt? Its called Mickey's Fun Wheel. We nicknamed it Mickey's Wheel From Hell. Its got these karts that swing back and forth, enlarge the picture by clicking on it to see what I mean.
Space Mountain - a fast rollercoaster in the dark, what could be better?
The Mad Hatter Tea Cups...puke.
Dumbo Ride!
The Matterhorn - a Disney classic. You don't scream because the Yeti's scare you, you scream because the ride is so old you think you are going to fly off the tracks!
Splash Mountain in Critter Country - another Disney Classic
...I sat in the front and got wet... Denim does not dry quickly
This ride is called Screamin' California. Can you tell by my picture that the name is appropriate?
Jungle Cruise...one of the first rides in Disneyland.
Tarzan's Treehouse...formally known as the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. Dave and Spencer did not approve of the switch.
This is another attempt at the Tower of Terror, we look more afraid this time.

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Oct 04 - =============================================================================== Summary analysis -- L E Lundbergforetagen AB -------------------- 04-Oct-2012 =============================================================================== CREDIT RATING: A+/Stable/A-1 Country: Sweden Primary SIC: Investment offices, nec =============================================================================== Credit Rating History: Local currency Foreign currency 08-Jun-2007 A+/A-1 A+/A-1 24-Jan-2001 A/A-1 A/A-1 =============================================================================== Rationale
The ratings on Sweden-based investment and real estate company L E Lundbergforetagen AB (Lundbergs) incorporate Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' view of its "strong" business risk profile and "modest" financial risk profile, as our criteria define the terms.
Lundbergs' strong business risk profile stems from the good overall credit quality of its assets, most of which are investment grade. This should limit the magnitude of equity price fluctuations, reduce default risk, and subsequently, lessen the risk of equity losses. We consider Lundbergs' wholly-owned real estate operations to be low-risk, given their solid performance over the last decade, underpinned by residential properties (about 40% of the real estate portfolio in terms of rental income, about half of total 1,000,000 square meters total floor space) and low vacancy rates (consistently below 5%). Our ratings are further supported by the company's stable ownership structure--with the Lundberg family controlling more than 90% of the voting rights--and its track record of risk-averse investment strategies. In our opinion, these business positives are moderated by company's exposure to volatile equity markets, which may translate into fluctuations in its portfolio value, and somewhat restricted portfolio liquidity, given the significant proportion of majority-owned investments, and the substantial weight in the portfolio of unlisted real estate operations. Together with Lundbergs' stake in listed property company Hufvudstaden AB (not rated), real estate assets account for about one half of the total portfolio.
The modest financial profile reflects Lundbergs' consistent, prudent financial policy and strong capital structure. All the company's debt is located in its real estate operations, and we understand Lundbergs aims to maintain its debt below 50% of its own property portfolio market value (Swedish krona {SEK}12.7 billion on June 30, 2012). We calculate this would require a maximum loan-to-total portfolio value ratio of 12%-16%, based on an average weight of real estate assets representing 25%-30% of total assets in the past five years. In addition, all Lundbergs' listed holdings (about two-thirds of total assets) trade actively on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, providing the company with financial flexibility, which we consider to be integral to the ratings.
Key portfolio developments
Portfolio movements were limited over the period, with Lundbergs investing SEK18 million to acquire 510,000 series B shares in outdoor power products manufacturer Husqvarna AB (not rated), and SEK0.8 billion in the real estate operations, the bulk of which to acquire two commercial properties in Stockholm and Linkoping. Given Lundbergs' core focus on existing assets, and since we understand there are currently no major investments or disposals in its pipeline, we expect its portfolio composition to remain largely unchanged for the next two years, maintaining urrent liquidity, quality, and diversity descriptors according to our methodology.
S&P base-case cash flow and capital-structure scenario
We believe Lundbergs' loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is well placed at the 7% we calculated on Oct. 2, 2012. On that date, it would have taken a decline of about one-third in equity prices (meaning sensitivity excluding the real estate assets, for which valuations are more sticky) for our 15% threshold to be met. We believe operating cash generation, defined as dividend received less operating and interest expenses and dividend paid, which was about SEK0.1 billion in 2011 should be close to SEK0.3 billion in 2012, given the substantial growth in the amount of dividends received. We would expect dividend inflows from portfolio companies to be comparable with 2012 levels in 2013, operating and financial costs to be stable and dividends to shareholders to grow moderately. As a result, we expect total coverage--the ratio of dividends received to operating and net interest expenses plus dividends paid at holding company level--to be about 1.4x in 2012 and stable for the foreseeable future, versus 1.3x in 2011.
The 'A-1' short-term rating is supported by our assessment of Lundbergs'liquidity as "strong," as defined by our criteria. We anticipate that the company's sources of liquidity will cover its liquidity needs for the next 12 months well in excess of our 1.5x ceiling.
Pro forma the recent SEK1 billion bond issue on Sept. 20, 2012, we estimate total liquidity sources on June 30, 2012, at about SEK4.6 billion, including:
-- Available cash and equivalents estimated at about SEK1.8 billion (100% of reported cash, given the lean structure of the parent company);
-- SEK2.0 billion of undrawn committed lines, of which SEK1.0 billion available until June 2015 and SEK1.0 billion until December 2017. The June 2015 facility has financial covenants (interest cover and LTV), which the company currently comfortably meets; and
-- Dividends from portfolio companies amounting to at least SEK0.8 billion (conservative assumption).
This compares favorably with Lundbergs' potential liquidity uses of about SEK1.8 billion over the next 12 months to end-June 2013, which include:
-- Short-term debt of SEK1.1 billion, with no debt maturities in the subsequent 12 months, and only SEK400 million maturing in the second half of 2015;
-- Operating and net interest expenses of some SEK0.2 billion; and -- A dividend payout to shareholders of close to SEK0.5 billion. Outlook
The stable outlook reflects our view that Lundbergs will preserve its conservative capital structure and, therefore, retain its strong financial flexibility. We understand that Lundbergs aims to maintain leverage below 50% of the market value of its wholly-owned real estate operations (SEK12.7 billion on June 30, 2012) as part of its financial targets. The ratio was about 21% at midyear. We also believe that the company's overall LTV ratio will remain below 15%, which is commensurate with the current ratings.
If Lundbergs' LTV ratio were to exceed 15%, even slightly, for example, owing to an unexpected and significant decline in equity values for a sufficiently lengthy period, we would likely consider a negative rating action. Higher-than-expected leverage or materially increasing exposure to wholly- or majority-owned companies could have negative implications for the ratings on Lundbergs as well, because the increasing asset concentration would raise its vulnerability to operational and business risk.
The possibility of a positive rating action on Lundbergs is remote in the next two years, given the limited additional rating benefits of further portfolio investment diversification.

Love My Hair is a South African company that's passionate about natural hair colour and firmly believes that all women should be able to dye their hair gently and effectively without using chemicals.
Love My Hair has two ranges, the 100% Herbal and the Ultra Low Chemical dyes.
Both ranges are approved by Beauty Without Cruelty, which means neither the ingredients nor the final products have been tested on animals, and are completely vegan.
All the herbal ingredients are grown organically. Love My Hair has the certification from the supplier that this is the case, however because they are not certified by an international organization like Ecocert, according to the Cosmetics Federation of South Africa, Love My Hair is not able to advertise them as organic.
Both ranges contain herbs that have been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. These herbs are used to improve the condition of the hair and scalp, encouraging hair growth and eliminating itchiness and dandruff problems.
The herbs are also good for the body as a whole and as they're absorbed through the scalp they are not just colouring hair but are also benefitting the body. Click here for more information about each of the herbs.
100% Herbal
- Contains no chemicals.
- Permanent dye.
- Will not lighten hair.
- Contains henna, indigo, amla, shikakai, brahmi, bahera, harad and bhringraj.
- Henna and indigo are the two plant ingredients that dye the hair.
- It's the perfect dye for people who are sensitive to the chemicals in hair dye.
- It does cover grey hair, but some people need to do several applications over a short period of time for complete coverage. Other people have complete coverage with one application. It depends on the hair type.
- Application time is 1-2 hours.
- It works best for people who are not grey yet, and those who have a small percentage of grey.
- The best colours for covering grey are flame red, wine red and dark brown.
Ultra Low Chemical
- Contains very low concentrations of chemicals. When the powder is correctly diluted with water, all the chemical ingredients comprise only 2% of the total. To put this in perspective, in a comparative natural hair dye just the PPD comprises from between 0.8% to 2.1%. This excludes the other chemical ingredients. Current EU legislation allows for PPD to comprise up to 6% of the constituents of dye.
- Contains henna, PPD (para-phenylenediamine)*, barium peroxide, para amino phenol, rose petal powder, amla, bhringraj, shikakai, citric acid, sodium laurel sulphate and sodium sulphate.
- Does not contain any ammonia or resorcinol.
- Permanent dye.
- It covers grey completely with one application.
- Will not lighten hair.
- Application time is 30-50 minutes.
- It's the perfect dye for people who are not allergic to the chemicals in hair dye, but who nevertheless want to reduce their exposure to these chemicals.
- It also offers the most reliable coverage for people who are completely grey.
*A note about PPD: Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is the chemical in hair dye that is potentially the most damaging to our health and the chemical that is most widely known about. However, it is also the most effective chemical ingredient for covering grey. It does not build up in the body but repeated exposure to it can lead to sensitivity, with a small percentage of people developing allergic reactions. This is why it is essential for people to do a skin patch test before using any products containing PPD
100% Herbal Range: 6 warm shades from Flame Red, Wine Red through Light Auburn, Light & Dark Browns to Soft Black.
Ultra-low Chemical Range: 5 rich shades – Black, Dark Brown, Brown, Honey brown and Mahogany
There's something for all the brunettes out there who care about what they put on their hair.

Sevenhills Wholefoods Supports Charity Projects Around the World
Kids Club Kampala, Uganda
UK charity working to improve the future prospects of children in the slum communities of Kampala, Uganda. Sevenhills Wholefoods worked with Kids Club Kampala to provide informal education classes to extremely poor children who would otherwise have no access to schooling, and supported the charity's third project in the Namuwongo slum providing 100 3-11 year olds with basic education. Children receive a hot meal and the centre remains open after school as a safe location, away from the danger and temptations of drug use, to do homework, ask questions, get help and receive food.
The Lunchbowl Network, Kenya
The charity initially operated one kindergarten school in Kibera, the biggest slum in Kenya, which provided for 55 children. Sevenhills Wholefoods helped the charity launch their second larger site accommodating up to 150 children. The Lunchbowl Network was able to provide the opportunity to learn and play in a clean, safe, stimulating, caring and respectful environment. Parents and carers readily recognised their children were becoming healthier and happier, less withdrawn, talking more english, and had improved reading and writing ability--evidence their lives were beginning to be transformed at an early age.
Network for Africa, Uganda
The charity works with communities in the aftermath of conflict and genocide, helping the forgotten survivors after disaster relief moves on. Sevenhills Wholefoods assisted the charity to extend their work into the war-torn Agogo District, Uganda, where people lived in overcrowded camps. People were encouraged to test for HIV, start treatment, and supported through better access to services, counselling and medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women received advice and support needed to prevent mother-to-child transmission. Work was done in the local community to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease.

How accessible is your workplace?
If nobody within your small business has a disability, accessibility may not be a pressing concern. However, almost 40 million Americans live with a disability of one kind or another, and it's possible one of these individuals may be looking to work for you someday.
As the owner of a small enterprise, you simply cannot overlook accessibility in your workplace. Expanding your team is certainly one of the most exciting aspects of growing your business, and you should be as accommodating to all employees.
Accessibility is core to that, and we take a closer look at its importance below.
Breaking Workplace Accessibility Down
Integrating accessibility into your small business means more than making sure you offer wheelchair access or a disabled toilet. It actually encompasses your products, services and the workplace itself.
One disability that may be overlooked is blindness or visual impairment. RightHear is committed to boosting accessibility for everyone with sight-related problems, using cutting-edge sensors and our innovative app to offer comprehensive guidance throughout indoor environments. This makes navigating often complex sites far easier, enabling blind or visually-impaired individuals to enjoy greater independence. As positive it is to implement changes to the workplace to help make it more accessible, there is still a possibility of an accident occurring. If this has happened to you and you live near or in Vermont, you may wish to take a look at Workers' Compensation in Vermont to see what type of compensation you could be entitled to.
Taking the needs of blind employees and customers into account is just one aspect of accessibility, though. You need to consider all the ways in which people with disabilities may be cut off from your products and workplace. Adjusting your business premises and practice is key to being more inclusive, whatever that requires
Installing ramps, sensors for RightHear or overhauling your website to aid accessibility does involve extra expense, but this pays off by expanding your audience.
A Growing Trend
Research shows more and more big businesses are embracing diversity in all respects, which includes focusing on the needs of disabled workers / customers. Mental and physical disabilities are now discussed far more openly, and the old stigmas are gradually being destroyed. There's still some way to go, but businesses are generally more aware than ever.
While big businesses are taking accessibility seriously, small businesses like yours need to follow their example. Prospective employees with disabilities expect the same opportunities as others. You could be missing out on talented workers if you're failing to accommodate candidates with disabilities.
Taking Steps in the Right Direction
So, what can you do to get your workplace accessibility right?
Be sensitive to people with disabilities
If any of your employees have disabilities, be aware they may be sensitive about it. Always be considerate of their feelings and concerns when discussing accessibility issues.
Work as a team
Open the floor to your workers and discuss how you can foster a more accessible business, both for employees and customers. Address the needs of people with different disabilities and workshop ideas.
Identify ways in which you can improve your workplace — and keep the dialog going. Whether disabilities are physical or mental, show that you're happy to address them.
Get educated
It's vital that you educate yourself and your directors/managers on accessibility in the workplace. You should be able to find local organizations or groups offering training on this topic, helping you spot accessibility flaws and ways to correct them.
Accessibility matters, no matter how small your business. Follow the tips explored above and you can make your growing company a more welcoming place for all.

De'Longhi ECZ351, A good coffee machine overall
- By : Aldi Stico
- Category : Espresso & Cappuccino Machines
- Tags: De'Longhi ECZ351,
Fine for a danny de vito (i. E. It is a good machine, i got it (using vouchers so i had limited choice) to replace my old dualit which expired after 6 years of constant usei think this makes slightly better coffee, and after 6 years of fiddling with the stupid water tank on the dualit this one is so much easier to use, it just drops into place and the handle makes life much easierit looks nice and heats up reasonably fasthowever, as everyone says, not raising the spout a little higher (or dropping the drip tray a little) is ridiculous; if you want to add water for an americano or milk for a latte, surely you want to dispense the coffee shot directly into the final mug/cup/glass?. I can just get my tea cups underneath, but not an ordinary uk coffee mugedited to add: in fact you can remove the drip tray to put a normal mug in place; i initially assumed you couldn't as previous espresso machines have also used the drip tray for overflow from the pump, this one doesn't, it really is just a drip trayand i do find it hard to slide the coffee holder into place once the machine is hot, it is really hard work for someone with fairly wimpish little hands eta: getting easier with practice.
A hight quality coffee machine.
Not recommended for purchase. . I would not recommend buying this coffee machine, i have used plenty in my lifetime, however, this didn't last very long considering the price paid. At first i thought it was the coffee pod itself as they can get coffee grounds stuck inside, i usually open it up and use a fine pin to unclog but soon found out it's the machine itself losing pressure. It has been cleaned regularly and i only use filtered water so can't see why it should have this problem so soon. In my opinion it's not value for money, it's over priced and never given a good enough cup of coffee as my other coffee machines have. Hier sind die Spezifikationen für die De'Longhi ECZ351:
- High glossy finishing with chrome details
- Auto off function after 20 minutes
- ECO button to modify the auto off time
- Transparent and removable water reservoir (capacity: 1.4 L)
- Self-priming system means machine is always ready for use
Love it after much debating. . I took ages comparing reviews, prices and what i actually wanted from a machine. I felt it could be a gamble but chose this one. I followed the prime up instructions and got ready to prepare my first espresso. Mugs dont fit under it only cups so i found some hidden at the back of a cupboard as we only use mugs in this yorkshire house. Then found a jug for the milk to be frothed in. Filled and clicked the coffee dodah bit in and pressed goit worked wonderfully no noises to worry me and the frother worked well. It produced hot, very hot coffee, i have americano and hubby likes cappuccino. We were both really pleased at the results and happy with the investment.
Inspired design, makes fantastic coffee. No cons whatsoever, this device makes the most wonderful espresso i've ever tasted.

It's easy to fall into the trap of just going out shopping or taking your family to a theme park or the beach at the weekend. But while you are bound to have fun, it's not going to leave a lasting impression on the world. Therefore, you should consider doing something which will benefit the greater good. Therefore, here are some things you can do to make a difference to the world this weekend.
It's always a good idea to volunteer if you can in your life. After all, it is a great way to give something back to the community. As described on www.gov.uk, there are plenty of ways you can offer your services as a family this weekend. For one thing, it might be that you help out a neighbour. You could do simple jobs for them such as fetching them groceries or even cutting the grass. And the kids could even help out by watering the plants or even helping them walk to the local shop. You and the kids could also volunteer at a home by spending some time with the residents. Chatting with them or playing a game can provide them with some company. And you might even want to spend some time at the weekend volunteering by helping homeless animals. Taking a pooch out for a walk or playing with the kitties will be rewarding for your family.
Recycle your old bits
A lot of us are contributing to the world's waste without even realizing it. After all, so many people have old belongings just sitting around their home causing waste. And when they do eventually go through them, they often end up in the bin. Therefore, spend some time at the weekend going through your old bits deciding if anything could be recycled. After all, you can then ensure you are doing your bit for the environment while reducing the clutter in your home at the same time. And you might have a ton of items you didn't realize could be recycled like old phones and tablets. In fact, there are sites like onrecycle.co.uk who will pay you for your old goods. And don't hesitate to take things like old toys and clothes to charity shops. After all, they can sell them on to make money for their charity!
Take part in a charity walk or run
It's always rewarding to raise some money for charity. And the best thing is there are tons of ways your family can do it this weekend. One thing you might want to get involved in is a charity walk or run. You can go and take part to raise some money while getting active at the same time. After all, it can be challenging to get your kids up and about when they are tied to their latest pieces of tech. Therefore, getting involved in a charity run can lift your spirits and help you all get fit too. And celebrating after can be a great way for your family to bond too.
And remember having a charity bake sale, or even car boot can help you make a difference to local charities too!

Who can get to 100 first?! It may be in the hands of chance, but either way kids will have to practice counting and adding along the way. Partners take turns rolling two dice and moving their game pieces that many spaces until one pupils reaches 100.
91 Views 62 Downloads
Instructional Ideas
- As the resource suggests, play this game to celebrate the 100th day of the school year
- Mix up the game by adding in additional dice or requiring learners to complete other math problems along the way
- Have a game day and make enough boards so that all kids can pair off and play
Classroom Considerations
- While this is intended as a partner activity, an individual could play to reach 100 on their own and receive a small prize when they get there
- Comes with the game board and suggestions for how to put it together and make it last a long time
- Includes a bonus point idea that requires learners to read large numbers correctly
- None

And why talk of travel? This weekend my oldest son left for Ireland. He's going for 6 months. I'm so crazy excited and nervous and happy and panicy. (I'm only nervous that maybe I forgot to do something, purchase something, pack something, tell him something, or just something --that will adversly effect his time in Ireland.) Oh well, nothing I can do about my perceived (or possible) failures now. The cabin door has been sealed. In fact, as I type this and drink my morning coffee, it is 2:15 in Dublin -- lunchtime. Get the fish and chips, get the fish and chips PJ!
I'm not sad that he's gone, I'm actually happy, and a little bit envious. If I wasn't 43, with two other kids, a job and a mortgage to pay I'd be right on that plane too! And I've been checking out the weather in Dublin and compared to the devilish volcano heat we've been having in MA (and are going to have more of) Dublin looks to be a paradise. Rainy and 55. So much for all the shorts we bought at Marshalls. Sorry PJ.
Anyhow, I will discuss his captions (or lack thereof) soon. PJ if you are reading this, are you satisfied that I did not post our picture, even though I really REALLY wanted to!
Tomorrow I'm going to focus on food. I haven't done a food post in a while. I know you're all hungry.
As you set out for Ithaka
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon- don't be afraid of them:
you'll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
wild Poseidon- you won't encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope the voyage is a long one.
May there be many a summer morning when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind-
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Tinnitus is a medical condition that affects a large number of people in the United States today. It is characterized by a constant, hissing, buzzing, screeching or ringing noise inside the inner ear. According to ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians, there are a number of conditions that lead to the onset of this ailment; among these are work-related noise and inner ear disorders that cause tinnitus. There may even be cases where the exact cause of the ringing ears is never found.
Inner ear disorders that cause tinnitus are quite tough to treat, but then again there are ways to minimize the effects, as well as reduce the symptoms. One of these disorders is inner ear cell damage. Doctors note that the tiny and delicate hairs inside the ear move in relation to the pressure created by sound waves. The sound waves in turn trigger ear cells to release an electrical impulse, which runs through the auditory nerve and goes to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals or impulses as sound. Whenever these tiny and delicate hairs are broken or shaken, these may trigger the release of random electrical impulses to the brain, which lead to the annoying hissing or ringing in the ears. The excessive clumping of earwax may also lead to tinnitus.
Earwax essentially traps dirt and prevents it from entering the ear canal, and also slows down the growth of bacteria. But when too much earwax builds up, it then becomes too difficult to remove, which may lead to problems with hearing as well as tinnitus. Some stiffening or changes in the ear bones also contribute to the buzzing sounds. The stiffening of the middle ear bones, also called otosclerosis, is caused by abnormal bone growth. Non-cancerous benign tumors, such as acoustic neuroma, can also lead to the onset of buzzing and ringing in the inner ear. An acoustic neuroma usually grows or develops on the cranial nerve, which control balance and hearing. The cranial nerve runs from the brain straight to the inner ear. Meniere's Disease is also a major inner ear disorder that leads to tinnitus.
Apart from inner ear disorders that cause tinnitus, other major factors that lead to the onset of the buzzing or whistling inside the ear include some chronic health disorders, as well injuries and other defects that impair the auditory nerves in the brain. Stress, depression and anxiety are also contributory factors that cause the incessant phantom whistling and buzzing noise in the inner ear.
