AS MUCH as Malacanang Palace wants to give in to the suggestion of Sen. Grace Poe to temporarily stop operations of the state-owned Metro Rail Transit-3 (MRT-3) until all technical problems are fixed, it could not do so because this would cause great inconvenience to the public.
Palace spokesman Harry Roque said that aside from great inconvenience, stopping MRT-3's operations might disrupt economic activities in Metro Manila, which is heavily reliant on the aging mass transport system.
"While we share the concerns of everyone amid the glitches and technical issues bugging the train system, stopping the operations of the MRT-3 even if only temporarily will cause a huge inconvenience to the public" he said.
The MRT -3 ferries around 500,000 passengers daily most of whom are employees and workers of various government agencies and private offices and companies in and around Metro Manila.
Despite its almost daily glitches, it is still the fastest mode of transportation for more than 500, 000 people in going to and from South to North areas and vice versa daily.
Sen. Poe has earlier suggested to the MRT-3 officials to decide whether they should stop the train operations first to fix the technical problems of the MRT coaches.
Napakahirap. Gustuhin man namin i-total shut down malaking abala sa buong publiko ang mangyayari," he said.
(This would be hard. As much as we wanted to, shutting down totally the MRT operations will be a huge inconvenience to the public.)
Train operations were disrupted last Thursday morning after a link between two MRT coaches got detached while in transit before approaching the northbound of Buendia and Ayala station, forcing passengers to disembark.
This incident was unusual from the almost regular cases of technical glitches experienced by the MRT-3.
Also, a female passenger nearly lost her arm in an MRT-3 accident two days earlier after she lost her balance while about to disembark from one of its coaches.

Japanese Maple no leaves left

You need to failiarise yourself with two words - deciduous and evergreen. Japanese maples are deciduous."We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw0
Julia1983 ShropshirePosts: 92Mine all went a few weeks back, but have seen a few older specimens still with lots of leaves left in the same area...(same type... Dissectum?) Ours isn't in a windy spot so I hypothesised that it might be due to it being younger, or getting scorched this summer when we went on holiday for three weeks and it got minimal neighbour watering.....(It is pot grown). I'm sure it will pop back in spring, they are delightful trees.0

Your answers to some new posters come over as very condescending at times.0
I did some work at the British Women's Club garden in Brussels which included planting trees and shrubs. The committe appointed to oversee the garden transformation asked me what tree I was planting and then asked me what deciduous meant.
It's a basic garden term and if, as I suspect, New Boy2 is keen to learn, there are a few basic terms with which he needs to be familiar in order to understand answers here and also how plants work.

So Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is at a loss over the uproar triggered by Government's decision to purchase a spanking new top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz for his use in these tough economic times? As he put it to reporters earlier this week when questioned on the matter, "I don't know what the fuss is about".
If ever there was a statement that conveyed the image of a prime minister disconnected from the reality of the very people he supposedly leads, it certainly would have to be this one. It shouldn't be surprising, therefore, that Mr Stuart has difficulty understanding what's the fuss about. The reason, however, is pretty clear and simple.
It relates specifically to quite a few inconsistencies and contradictions between what the incumbent Democratic Labour Party (DLP) regime has been telling Barbadians they have to do and what the Government, on the other hand, is actually doing. The inconsistencies and contradictions are quite apparent to the average Barbadian, whose characteristic docility should not be mistaken for stupidity.
Barbadians can clearly see, in this particular instance, what appears to be a case of one rule for them and another for the political class. To justify the last four years of harrowing austerity, the Stuart government has repeatedly suggested to Barbadians that they have been living beyond their means and sacrifices through belt-tightening were necessary in the national interest. Such thinking clearly informed the proposals in the 2017 Budget which last week imposed what is arguably the largest tax take in living memory.
When the full impact of these new measures hits home in another month, the struggle by the average Barbadian to make ends meet will become a lot harder as less disposable income will now be available. Buying food, for example, to enjoy a decent meal will become an even bigger challenge for many especially the poor and elderly. It is already a sad spectacle in supermarkets to witness some Barbadians having to leave items at the check-out counter because their meagre budgets cannot stretch any further. With the hefty tax impositions announced in the Budget, more will have to do so unless some good Samaritan comes to their rescue and pays the difference.
The painful truth is that it is not the average Barbadian who has placed the country in the current economic mess. It is poor management at the policy-making level by politicians. Yet it seems to the average Barbadian that while what amounts to incompetence in some cases is rewarded with handsome salaries followed by generous pensions on retirement, they are always the ones called upon to pay the heavy price of these costly mistakes by politicians.
If the DLP is telling Barbadians they must tighten their belts, then prudence dictates that DLP politicians should be leading by example. But, as the Budget clearly demonstrated, what we have essentially is a tax-and-spend government which has a seemingly voracious appetite for extracting the last tax dollar from citizens instead of engaging in belt-tightening through trimming expenditure. It is therefore understandable why Barbadians would be upset about Stuart's new ride delivered, ironically, days after more fiscal brutality was inflicted on their backs.
The decision to purchase the vehicle at this time not only reflected poor timing but also conveyed a lack of sensitivity. It reinforced a picture of sharp contrasts in which the population faces the prospect of further pauperization by a supposedly broke government which chooses, nevertheless, a vehicle that is a symbol of opulence and luxury for the prime minister. Stuart's feeble explanation was that it was a government decision, not his.
But you know what? Stuart certainly did not have to go along with the decision. At least he could have asked for the purchase to be put on hold given the country's circumstances. Were Errol Barrow the prime minister of Barbados today, he would have done exactly that in a demonstration of solidarity with the suffering of Barbadians. Though he was a patrician or aristocrat in the Barbadian social context, Barrow did not care about having such trappings of luxury and opulence at his disposal in public office.
Indeed, Barbadians who are old enough will easily recall that when Barrow began his second coming as prime minister after the 1986 general election, he contemptuously turned his back on the green Mercedes used by his predecessors and settled instead for a lowly Toyota Crown. Though members of the same DLP, it seems, from a philosophical standpoint, that Stuart is definitely not cut from the same political cloth as Barrow.
But there is an even greater underlying reason why Barbadians are upset with Stuart over the new Mercedes. And it goes way beyond the fact that he has admitted receiving not one but two new official vehicles for his use in a matter of months — the other being the SUV M50. Marketed by the DLP as the most authentic working class prime minister Barbados has had, most Barbadians with the same socio-economic background generally thought that Stuart would have demonstrated more compassion and understanding of their plight.
The verdict, sadly, is that he has let them down. After assuring Barbadians that there would be no change in policy, Stuart still presided over the dismantling of free education introduced by Errol Barrow and Cameron Tudor to allow the sons and daughters of the working class to attend university. Stuart also went along with the controversial restoration of the 10 per cent pay cut for the political class in an economic environment where most Barbadians have not had a decent pay increase in almost 10 years.
Politics is largely about perception and success at the leadership level hinges heavily on the effective management of perception which has been repeatedly lacking or weak in Stuart's case. Whoever is advising him — if there is indeed such a person — is clearly a novice given the many blunders.
Stuart did not have to find himself in a pickle over changing MP2. As he explained to reporters, the vehicle was giving problems and maintenance costs were high and rising. However, such happens when a government comes across as indifferent, insensitive and does not understand that at the heart of politics is a permanent battle of communication to win over hearts and minds.
Instead of ending up as another DLP public relations fiasco, replacing MP2 without controversy was entirely possible but it would have required what I will describe as careful preparation of the wicket beforehand. The skillful execution of such would be through specific strategic communication interventions where a compelling case would have been presented that delivered public consent.
This latest gaffe, coming on the heels of last week's punishing budget, the restoration of the 10 per cent, and the millions spent on the 50th Independence anniversary celebrations, is just another self-driven nail in the political coffin of the DLP, months before a general election.
In their arrogance and contempt for the intelligence of the average Barbadian, the Dems somehow believe that morality is their sure passport to a third term. But here are some questions. Will morality provide Barbadians with jobs, pay their mortgages or children's university fees, or lower the cost of living which was the DLP's no.1, no.2 and no.3 job back in 2008?
If morality was indeed the solution to all of our problems, I would not dispute that the Dems are worthy of re-election. That, however, is not the case. The silence of Barbadians does not mean acquiescence; Barbadians are simply waiting patiently for the election bell to ring so that they can perform the last rites on the DLP in the ballot box and lay its tortured soul to rest without the hope of a political resurrection any time soon.

WASHINGTON — Mike Sacks likes to be the first person in line for big Supreme Court arguments, and he was feeling pretty confident when he arrived at the court Monday morning around 8, 26 hours before the court would hear a big gun control case.
But he found a couple from California already set up in lawn chairs. Robert Cumberland and Larken Euliss, two chemists from California, had arrived before dawn.
"I felt bad for him," Mr. Cumberland said of Mr. Sacks. "But I'm not going to abdicate. I flew across the country for this."
Mr. Cumberland wore a button that said "Guns Save Lives," and he said the case to be argued on Tuesday, McDonald v. Chicago, was "going to force states like California to recognize that the Second Amendment is an individual right."
Ms. Euliss had heard Mr. Cumberland's analysis before. "I just think it's neat that citizens can sit here and see law being made," she said.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Sacks, a third-year law student at Georgetown, had set himself a goal, now shattered: he wanted to be the first person in line for every major argument this term. He brought three advantages to the task. He has no morning classes this semester, he lives pretty close to the court, and he has an obsession with it. The name of his blog is a play on his habit of showing up early at the court's street address: First One @ One First.
By Monday evening, the line had grown to about 30 people. There were gun-rights enthusiasts, along with Supreme Court groupies and law students.
Three men sat quietly in the winter gloaming. They were being been paid to hold places for others. One said he had found the assignment on Craigslist, arrived at noon and would get $250 for 19 hours of work. He said that his name was Benny and that he did not know his client's name or profession.
About 15 enthusiastic and energetic students from Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, Calif., arrived not long after 7 p.m. It was like a camping trip, except with concrete and civics. An informal poll suggested that the students were leaning in favor of upholding the Chicago gun control ordinance, one of the strictest in the nation, that is at issue in the case.
Three law students, two from Georgetown and one from George Washington, spoke earnestly about which part of the Fourteenth Amendment the court should use to apply the Second Amendment to state and local governments.
Josh Blackman was walking around telling people about his blog, which allows people to make predictions about how the term's cases will come out. "I'm the czar of Fantasy Scotus," he said by way of introduction, adding that he had recently barred three people from his site for cheating.
There were mixed feelings about whether making people wait all night in the cold to see their government at work was a reason to allow television coverage of Supreme Court arguments. Lyle Wincentsen said he was against cameras. "It turns it into a circus," he said.
Corey Carpenter, a 23-year-old law student at George Mason University, was asked about his interesting blue hair. "It's a personal commitment to liberty," he explained.
His decision to wait in line was impromptu, Mr. Carpenter said, and it was getting cold. His girlfriend would be bringing him some warm things, he said hopefully.
A large stack of pizzas arrived around 8 p.m., courtesy of the A.B.A. Journal, a legal magazine whose blog sometimes posts Mr. Sacks's commentaries. The high school students hovered until Mr. Sacks invited them to dig in.
Around 6 in the morning on Tuesday, five burly men joined the group of placeholders, cutting the line. There was grumbling but nothing more.
Mr. Cumberland did not sleep all night, and by dawn on Tuesday, he was growing worried. "I don't want to fall asleep during the argument," he said.
As the sky brightened over the Capitol, the high school students were reading legal briefs and "The Nine," a book about the Supreme Court.
Just after 7 a.m., the court police moved the line from the sidewalk to the steps in front of the court. Mr. Cumberland was told to take off his button. "No political logos on the plaza," an officer said. A reporter asked the officer to explain the reasoning behind that rule. "You can't interview people on the plaza," the officer responded.
At 7:15, numbered placeholder's cards were handed to the first 75 people in line. Chad Klinkenborg, who had arrived at 5:30 a.m., was No. 76. "I wish I'd gotten here a few minutes earlier," he said. There were at least 30 people behind him.
The cards are not guarantees, and the number of seats set aside for members of the public who want to see entire arguments can be as few as 50. (There is a separate line for those interested in getting a three-minute glimpse.)
Mr. Cumberland looked punch drunk as he was given his card. "I hardly know what this case is about any more," he said. "I'm so tired."Continue reading the main story

The Blue Book;
Here we will see where Franz Werfel gathered the material for his novel. Tetimony by Rev. Andreasian. Come to think of it, I had already posted it here, but as above I did not make the connection to the Blue Book; http://hyeforum.com/...16449&hl=werfel
PS. I have had the book for quite sometime but I could not make the connection to the Blue Book, published in London 1916. Judging from the age of myy copy it is probably from the first edition. Come to think of it, the book cover is BLUE.
Add- In the book, on page 522 there is a footnote by the editor where it says that Rev. Anreasians account is most probably the correct one that the saga began on July 13, not July 30, and that the rescue happened on Sep. 10th, that the Sep. 12 date given is in fact their arrival at Port Said, Egypt. According to which the saga lasted 53 days. (Not that fabled number 40).

Odd Future Offshoot the Internet Rope In Mac Miller, Thundercat, N.E.R.D.'s Chad Hugo for 'Feel Good' LP
Published Sep 04, 2013Soulful Odd Future offshoot the Internet have revealed they're about to drop a guest-loaded sophomore set titled Feel Good. The LP arrives September 24 via Odd Future Records.
While the outfit's 2011 debut Purple Naked Ladies mostly revolved around beats from Matt Martians and vocals by Syd the Kid, a press release explains that the new LP finds the project "expanding to a full band and a bolder sound." The lineup of the Internet now also includes bassist Patrick Paige II, keyboardist Tay Walker and Christopher Allan Smith on drums.
The album is said to feature a mix of sultry instrumentals and tracks featuring heartfelt lyrics from Syd, Walker, Mac Miller and Yuna. "The album is a journey through funk and soul through the eyes of young adults trying to find their way," Syd the Kid said in a statement.
Guest musicians also include Jesse Boykins the III and guitarist Jeff Gitelman (the Stepkids, Alicia Keys), the latter providing some picking on "Partners in Crime Part Two." You can stream the song down below.
On the production side of things, this time round they've teamed up with N.E.R.D./the Neptunes member Chad Hugo, Thundercat and Mike Einziger. A tracklisting has not yet been made available.

Twelve children have lost their mothers after three young women were killed during a high-speed chase with police in Sydney .
The pursuit lasted seconds, but the fallout will change lives forever after a white Holden Commodore crashed into a power pole when the driver allegedly fled from a random breath test.
Roza Mawen, a mother of four, and Adut Garang, a mother to eight, died in the crash as well as their friend Bianca Goak.
All three women were in their 30s.
One of the victim's children wrote of their grief of the horrific news on Facebook, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
"This can't be true not my mum noo."
"Can't believe she's actually gone why did you leave me alone.
"What is life now without you. Your (sic) the best mum ever I know you been through a lot I wasn't easy on you but now your resting. An ill always love you mummy."
The tragic crash took place after officers attempted to pull over the car in Marayong about 1am on Saturday.
"The car, we would say, sped away and within a matter of seconds collided with a power pole and now we have three females who are deceased," Assistant Commissioner Denis Clifford told reporters on Saturday.
Two of the women died at the scene, while a third woman died in Westmead Hospital.
A man and a woman who were also in the car are in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
Asst Comm Clifford described the crash as a tragedy.
"There's a lot of people that will be very affected by what occurred tonight," he said.
"A lot of lives that will be changed forever."
Police have launched a critical incident investigation, to be overseen by the Professional Standards Command.

The number of streets in Haringey with "unacceptable" amounts of litter has doubled in the last year according to Haringey's Liberal Democrats.
The Liberal Democrat party claim that new council figures show that one in eight of the borough's streets are now litter-strewn.
The party says that the percentage of streets with "unacceptable" litter levels has risen from six per cent in summer 2011, to 13 per cent this spring.
This is significantly higher than the council's target that no more than eight per cent of roads should have "unacceptable" levels of litter.
Haringey Liberal Democrats argue that this sudden leap in litter levels is caused by the Council's switch to fortnightly waste collections, which has resulted in overflowing bins in many streets.
To highlight the problem the Lib Dem group leader, Richard Wilson, organised a litter clean up on Monday.
He arranged for volunteers to clean up Wood Green in a move that he hoped would highlight what he sees as the council's failure to keep streets clean.
Cllr Wilson said: "Haringey Labour's decision to halve bin collections seems to have resulted in a massive surge in street litter from overflowing wheelie bins.
"It is completely unacceptable that one in eight roads in our borough are now blighted with litter. Residents should not have to put up with this unhygienic mess.
"Our Labour councillors just don't seem bothered that our streets are dirty and full of litter.
"The Council needs to take urgent action to clean up our streets."
The Haringey Independent is awaiting a comment from Haringey Council.

Marks and Spencer (M&S) has confirmed that a laptop containing salary details, addresses, dates of birth, national insurance and phone numbers of some 26,000 employees has been stolen from a printing firm that had been given the personal information in order to write to employees about pension changes.
Two days after the theft, M&S wrote to all staff whose names were on the laptop, warning them of the risk and offering free credit checks as a result.
Jamie Cowper, email and data encryption expert from PGP Corporation commented: "Marks and Spencer's has joined a long list including the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, Nationwide Building Society, the Metropolitan Police, Serco and many others. The only silver lining here, as is true in most of these cases, is that it seems to have been an opportunistic theft rather than a targeted attack."
He said that laptops will continue to go missing, but whether they are lost or stolen is irrelevant as long as the data is only protected by a simple password that would be easily compromised in the wrong hands.
"Today, staff and customers are increasingly concerned about the possibility of identity theft, and the offending company suffers not only high financial costs, but also risks enormous damage to their brand in the aftermath of a breach," he said. "Encryption and proper authorisation controls are quickly becoming essential measures for the protection of sensitive customer and employee data – companies need to realise this before legislation in this area drives greater punishment."

If I were to take myself back to over thirty years ago, the highlights of my involvement in Crop Over have not been only as a member of the Festival Band, but singing Calypso from 1983 to 1995, (four-time finalist and nine-time semi-finalist) and, most of all, my participation in the growth and development of many young people in this country in the area of Junior Monarch Competition at the invitation of the National Cultural Foundation.
I thank them for that opportunity. When I look back to when it all started with about eight children ranging from seven to 18 years old, all in one category, and I compare it to where the competition has reached today, I feel a sense of accomplishment with great memories; such as rehearsals in the Steel Shed, showing children how to sing their song, sourcing writers and giving encouragement. In addition, organising the band and trying to make the whole show a spectacle of worth.
As the years passed, I placed emphasis on training and nurturing young writers and singers. Some school principals allowed me to speak to children at their assembly to highlight the benefits of being involved in such a venture, even though some of them were old-school and still saw it as " Banja", the forbidden territory.
As the competition grew from eight to fifteen to twenty to fifty entrants, there was a need for preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. Mr Anthony Sargeant, Mr Peter Pinder and others must be complimented for their immeasurable inputs in writing, training and the development of melodies for the songs.
I introduced the idea of having tents and workshops, which now are expected features of the Crop Over season. The developmental aspect of the programme grew to the extent that the band would then have had young musicians mixed in with the more experienced ones, such as Chrystal Cummings-Beckles Holder, who has been and is still making a great contribution to the art form. Backups were chosen from the Community College Arts programme and there was even room for mentoring and training of MC's.
These efforts have borne much fruit as can be seen by the continued involvement of several current artistes who came through those ranks where it has been said that the Juniors don't continue afterwards and enter into the " big league". That is far from the truth. I start with Aziza, our still reigning Queen who brought me to tears last year on stage. I was so proud of her! Let us add persons like Kayla B, Charisma, Keisha Christian, Sir Ruel, Cher, Shakki K, Miss Sammy G, Jamoo, Khiomal, Miguel, Ishaka, Marzville and recently Miss A.C.
When the tents started and the public saw the quality of the performances, many people preferred to attend only the Junior Monarch tents and we could not even get one of the "big" tents to clash with the Juniors. Such was the quality of their performances. This evolved from the workshops where there was focus on microphone technique, choreography, dress, rendition, song writing, melodic flow and even interviewing techniques. Children learned to interact with each other, offering support and building relationships. These areas were pertinent to the entire programme and remain intact up to today.
So as I reminisce with a sense of satisfaction on my contribution, when the time comes for archiving, of which little is done in this country, I want to make sure that the NCF's wonderful Junior Monarch Competition is recognised for where it was, where it is now, and where it is set to go.

Yes, if you were wondering, I made that hideous orange dinosaur cake. It was red velvet inside and had enough food colloring in it to kill a small child. Alex loved it and that's what is important.
Don't we look thrilled to be there? Brad spent most of his time beating the other dads at Pin Ball. I thought he was going to loose it when his ball got stuck durring a record breaking game and he had to unplug the machine to reset it. I think he has been stopping off after work to practice.

MPS, in partnership with the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and the Mayor's Youth Violence Prevention Blueprint, has launched an anonymous youth tip-line called "Speak Up Minneapolis". This tip-line allows youth from across the city to phone or text reports of potential violence including weapons in schools, parks, libraries or other locations. Trained Counselors are available at parks, libraries or other locations and are available 24 hours a day to take detailed summaries of the potential threat and will then phone or email a complete report to MPD and district Emergency Management and Safety & Security staff. School Principals and Community Agency Leads, at potentially impacted sites, will then be contacted so a comprehensive response plan can be created and implemented.

SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Price: $15.00
Code: ZRC_SHADOW
Weight: 1.08 pounds
SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
2001-Barcelona, 1945�just after the war, a great world city lies in shadow, nursing its wounds, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his eleventh birthday to find that he can no longer remember his mother�s face. To console his only child, Daniel�s widowed father, an antiquarian book dealer, initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library tended by Barcelona�s guild of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world, waiting for someone who will care about them again. Daniel�s father coaxes him to choose a volume from the spiraling labyrinth of shelves, one that, it is said, will have a special meaning for him. And Daniel so loves the novel he selects, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax, that he sets out to find the rest of Carax�s work. To his shock, he discovers that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book this author has written. In fact, he may have the last one in existence. Before Daniel knows it his seemingly innocent quest has opened a door into one of Barcelona�s darkest secrets, an epic story of murder, magic, madness and doomed love. And before long he realizes that if he doesn�t find out the truth about Julian Carax, he and those closest to him will suffer horribly.

Birthday: July 16
Country: Canada
I like to make Pocket letters and love all things to do with paper and paper crafting.
Love junk journals but so far i am only looking at how to make them and have not actually made one yet. I have completed a few magpie journals and quite enjoy filling the pages with my bits and pieces of daily life here.
I have just discovered dotee dolls since joining swap-bot and hope to make and receive one some day. They look so cute...and each one is so unique. It would be a treasure for me to own one.
I like vintage looking paper and embellishments.
I do not follow Disney movies so I do not really like the new Disney themes or characters.
I like woodland themes, animals, flowers, birds, artsy patterns and my washi tape collection is slowly growing so I am finding more uses for it....like everywhere!
I have a few hand punches but no sophosticated crafting tools/machines. I would be interested in exchanging or receiving punched paper.....I have a mason jar, egg shape, butterlies, small flower, daisy and batchelor button shapes that i could offer to you. I like all colors of paper.
I love notecards, postcards and writing paper sets. Actually anything to do with penpaling! (Such as stickers, washi, stamps). My preference for postcards are for new, not vintage ones as I do not collect or send vintage cards. I find they are not usually in pristine condition and are quite small. Touristy cards are also not my favorite but can be used in swaps. I like my cards blank, in an envelope, where possible.
Historical fiction, Mysteries, Crime drama, Also Vintage Illustrated childrens books such as Beatrix Potter, Winnie the Pooh, Aice in Wonderland, Dr. Seuss
Tarantino films Clint Eastwood films .
Dancing with the Stars,
The Voice,
CNN news,
Most British detective shows
My name is Carol and I live in the Province of Alberta , in Canada.
Please note, if you have not received your swap from me, please let me know before you rate me down as I always send by the due date and I always rate others as soon as I receive their swap....I want to always maintain my 5 rating! But I know that things can be late or disappear in postal systems so I would appreciate a message and I will gladly resolve the swap.
I Like to write letters (& receive them). Right now I have penfriends in Germany, USA, Spain, Russia, Canada and Ireland.
I Belong to Postcrossing and Postcard United so love to send and collect postcards. I like all kinds of cards but touristy ones are my least favourite and I find most postcrossers do not want a vintage card so I do not collect or send them. Recently, I have been less active on these sites since joining swapbot though as I like tradiing blank cards as much as written cards!
Tidbits about me:
-I have a Vera Neumann scarf collection of 300 plus vintage scarves
-Prefer rural life to city living.
-Like nature and camping, birds, animals.
-Love cats especially, but cannot have one at the moment....I like all cat related items.
-like Instagram, reading and eating out.
-prefer coffee or black teas
-Have one sister and one brother. (And one husband.)
-Love Russian culture, their folklore patterns, matryoska dolls, art, etc.
-like to visit museums, National parks and UNESCO sites.
-I am new to ATCs but find them fun. I am less an artist than a paper piecer.
-I m retired but have had a career as a municipal worker, also worked for a short time as a community librarian so I do love books, real books, not e-books. I belong to our local book club.
I like frilly, girly things and also enjoy thrifting, going to auctions and just general browsing in general. shopping, does not necessarily result in purchasing!
i do like the vintage "look" and antiques, especially glassware and dishes.
love all stickers,, postcards (not vintage), washi, paper, tags, magazine cuttings, diecuts, punches, buttons, ephemera, cards, notecards, and pretty much any flat items as long as they are NEW and CLEAN. Please only send items that you would be happy to receive yourself. That is how I put together my swaps for sending out and would appreciate the same consideration from anyone sending to me.
I am very easy to please and am happy with whatever you choose to swap with me....
I would appreciate receiving any type of :
Larger envelopes for mailing postcards, 4 x 6 or larger
return address labels,
Washi samples,
paper (all kinds),
stationery sets,
envelopes, (any size)
stickers (all kinds),
cards (all kinds)
vintage embellishments
dotee doll, (only a wish)
Die cuts
stamped images,
stamps (postage or otherwise)
blank postcards (prefer no vintage or touristy),
anything else paper related or penpal related
hope that helps you make decisions about swapping with me. I do drink tea but do not really like herbal teas.....thank you!!

Thank you for the THREE pcs in an envie from 2 pcs in an envie tag at CPG!! You spoil me!!
You are most welcome! Cats are awesome :)
Thank you for the Animal and Nature Tag postcards. Also, the notecard is beautiful!
Thank you for the lovely cards and Pocket Letter from CPG Pick 2 Global Tag! They arrived today and I was very excited to get them (and the fox is so cute on the pocket letter n.n) Thank you again!
I'm so happy the washi rolls made it to you safe and sound, and that you like them :)
What an amazing and beautiful Travel Pocket Letter for the CPG Tag! So much layering and I love your technique of adding so many things on top of the pocket page in addition to all the detail on each ATC. Love the touch of washi trim on the spine binding, too, and the extra goodies in the back pockets! I feel like I got a wonderful tutorial on making pocket letters from a true expert artist. Thank you so very much, Carol.
Thank you for the pocket sleeve filled with pretty decorated tarrot themed cards!
Thank you for the PTG! I love the postcards you sent to me! You have great taste and seem to know what I like. I also love the bookmark! Thank you!
Carol, thanks so much for the little magpie journal and card letter you sent back to me. I've just received it, it's great!

A question of trust
Successful business relationships are trust-based relationships. This article describes the four components of trust (credibility, reliability, intimacy, and low self-orientation), and discusses how they can translate into benefits for project managers and their clients. Examples are drawn from a project at City Mortgage (NCM) Retail to automate underwriting and change company-wide business practices. The success of this project was attributed to the project team's willingness to examine the project from the position of all stakeholders, to conduct trust-building activities with the client, and to provide an effective system of reporting and communication. Even the most difficult issues can be dealt with when project managers know their clients on a personal level.

Facilitating the Development and Use of Interactive Learning Environments
Facilitating the Development and Use of Interactive Learning Environments
Early in the spring of 1993, my intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) project team at US WEST and I were busily readying for the initial trial of our first ITS platform -- LEAP -- (for Learn, Explore, & Practice) with actual users in the field. To celebrate this milestone, US WEST decided to sponsor a workshop on ITSs at our research facility in Boulder, CO-a site to which we knew we had little difficulty recruiting both participants and attendees. We invited many of the leaders from the field of ITSs to participate in the workshop. In truth, our real motivation for hosting the workshop was not really to celebrate but rather to obtain some expert feedback about the system we had built. As I mentioned, LEAP was just about to undergo an empirical evaluation with actual end users, and we wanted to check every angle to make sure we had not forgotten something that could adversely affect the outcome, for in industry, those who fail rarely get a second chance.
In organizing the workshop, we recruited as many ITS researchers as we could who had already been through much of what we were about to experience, including representatives from academia, industry, and government laboratories. The presentations were both educational and enlightening not just as pertains to the systems that had been built but also as pertains to the many lessons that had been learned (but not widely disseminated) about the ITS development and deployment process. As the workshop progressed, the discussions evolved from talking about systems and capabilities to discussing the hazards of technology transfer. A common theme espoused by both attendees and presenters at the workshop was . . .

Introduction WordPress Plugin Premium Membership
Wonderful membership platforms need to be easy enough to use when membership websites are launched, but need to offer the room for these websites to grow as they become successful. Inside this MemberMouse Overview, we will go over the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing MemberMouse for WordPress membership websites, and how MemberMouse matches the requirements of different users. WordPress Plugin Premium Membership
Getting Started
The neat thing about this is that you are able to change the registered URL, so in the event that you want to use MemberMouse on a website before migrating to a production website, you can register the staging site URL and fully setup your website and associates for launching, then migrate the URL to the live website. Once your site URL is registered on your MemberMouse accounts, you may then download the MemberMouse plugin from your dash and install it in your WordPress site. From there, you are all set to begin configuring your website.If you don't need to set up the website yourself, then you can buy Quick Start support out of MemberMouse for $299, which includes a WordPress installation (optional), MemberMouse setup after a consultation telephone, and also an optional migration of registration data out of an present site. WordPress Plugin Premium Membership
MemberMouse Overview
Additionally, MemberMouse can offer upsells to members, or mechanically provide downsells to customers that wish to cancel in order to boost client retention and maximize revenue. MemberMouse also allows members to upgrade or downgrade memberships themselves.You may take a look at a full feature listing from MemberMouse to all of the juicy details in 1 place, or visit our summary of some MemberMouse attributes.
Configuring MemberMouse
MemberMouse generates several pages when installed (similar to a eCommerce plugin), such as voucher pages, login/out webpages for members, and more. You can customize these pages in order to check the best approach for your shop, but I decided to first get setup.You are able to take a look at your membership dash once you log in to observe some compacted information about your website, but since I haven't put up anything yet, I headed down to the General Settings menu to determine what options I had.Under general preferences, I navigated to"Other Settings" and was able to change what members see when logged in, for example, page they're redirected to and if to display protected menu objects (by way of example, if you are protecting products from non-members). 1 setting that many of you will find intriguing is that the"Access Sharing Security"This little box permits you to limit the number of different IP addresses can log in to your website using the very same credentials at a 24-hour period. I would allow more than one IP address if members utilize a computer and a mobile device to look at your content. That way they do not get frustrated by being locked from the website when using a different device. For some membership websites, the ability to restrict login information is non-negotiable, so MemberMouse becomes an appealing choice.MemberMouse also lets you create Worker users under General Settings to ensure sales or support personnel can log in to your site and member center in order to create or assist members, but do not have access to site configuration options. As a final note on setup, MemberMouse includes a few built-in widgets that you can use to exhibit content throughout your website. For example, the"Protected Content" widget may display upcoming content to associates based on which membership level access they've so they know what to anticipate (date could be included too ).

Creating Products with MemberMouse
One word of warning for those trying MemberMouse: see the tutorial movies. Usually documentation is great for when I get stuck rather than as a beginning point, but I wasn't certain why memberships and products were separated in the manner they were.MemberMouse assigns membership access to different products. If you're new at this, it might appear redundant to different memberships from goods initially; nonetheless, this allows you far more flexibility in pricing your membership solutions. You may produce a"Bronze" membership accessibility level and connect it to multiple goods, like a normal product (at a single price), a discounted product (with a promotional price), and also an affiliate merchandise (with a cost for consumers referred from an affiliate). After viewing the movies and understanding that this arrangement, I truly liked the flexibility provided by dividing membership accessibility from goods.Products are made under Product Settings. Both physical and virtual products are managed from the exact same page, and once your goods are set up, you can then create membership access levels and delegate them to your own products. To begin, delegate your"Associated Access" to your merchandise to"none" because you're going to be setting up memberships afterwards.Together with MemberMouse, you are able to make sign-up fees or trial periods. If you enable"Trials", you can optionally specify a price for a trial period (which can be $0), then decide how long trial period will run. If you only need to use this to get a sign-up fee, then you can set a one-day trial and then initiate the membership. This isn't ideal, because the monthly charge will not be shown instantly at checkout because just the signup fee is shown, but it works well enough that it shouldn't be an issue. Your product description should explain fees and billing anyway.You might also create products"shippable" to take advantage of the limited shipping methodsavailable in MemberMouse for memberships that involve bodily products. WordPress Plugin Premium Membership
Creating Membership Access with MemberMouse
Once products are made, you may then create membership access levels to connect to any of your membership solutions. These membership levels will determine the content restriction rules for members. But, you can also edit the accessibility rules onto a per-post or per-page basis.When you make a membership level, you can assign that access level to a specific item. This is precisely what I had been talking about in terms of versatility — you can assign an access level for as many products as you want, so in the event that you offer promotional pricing for email subscribers or testimonials from your affiliates, you can tie the same access to each of the products.You will also select which classes will be protected for that access level from the same display. Multiple article categories can be selected for accessibility. Consequently, MemberMouse supports both tiered and topic-based memberships.As a default option, access will be limited for the entire post for every single post in the category. But it is possible to get around this to exhibit post excerpts and teasers using Smart Tags. Access can also be put on a per-post or per-page foundation while editing a post or page. The article / webpage editor is also where you are going to manage content dripping. Dripping is elastic and super-simple, since you may specify a delay in accessibility for every membership level in terms of days.After content dripping is set up, you can see schedules for each membership level under Product Settings > Content Dripping Program to get a general view of when each access level can see content. This webpage will also enable you to mass edit access rights for every membership level, and personalize content dripping occasions for each entry level. It's really helpful for all those of you that currently have a lot of content created, and just want to assign drip times and get rights from 1 screen.Not sure how it'll look to every member? Look at the top of your display when previewing your site.
MemberMouse Smart Tags
Before you begin setting up your site to sell membership goods, you'll want to take a look at a few of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, known as Smart Tags. It is possible to use smart tags to add purchase links for your products, selectively restrict (or eliminate restrictions from) specific parts of content to create excerpts, and show member data. For instance, you can demonstrate a member's name on emails or welcome pages, content based on their membership level, or show content based on which affiliate referred the member to your site.Bright tags also allow you to insert links that enable members to manage their own subscriptions, upgrade memberships, or even purchase new goods.
Selling Packages
MemberMouse has yet another sales choice of which you may take advantage. Participants can't purchase more than 1 membership degree using MemberMouse. But, you can use another content limitation instrument, called a package, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also how you can offer upsells to present members. You can assign many products to a package in precisely the same manner which it is possible to assign multiple goods to a membership access level. Packages allow you to expand the content accessibility that a product provides when used this way.Because Packages are tied to goods in the exact same manner as membership access, bundles may also benefit from content dripping. The benefit to using packages is that members can buy more than 1 package at a time.

Selling and Managing MemberMouse Memberships
When you are done learning about smart tags, establishing goods, access levels, and content dripping, you will want to sell the memberships you have created. While MemberMouse automatically produces a lot of pages, it does not produce a catalogue or page. For me personally this is a great thing, since I think selling memberships to potential users requires long-form content anyhow — members probably aren't going to come to your site and navigate for memberships right away.To sell memberships, you'll need to create pages or posts with purchase links. You can copy purchase links from the product settings for each product, or create a buy link using a smart label if the connection has been posted on your WordPress site (which is what we've done in the screenshot). You can also utilize MemberMouse's built-in button fashions instead of the ones out of the theme (mine are somewhat lackluster since we are using the default theme).
MemberMouse prices are dependent on the number of consumers for your membership website, yet MemberMouse is not a true SaaS solution, since the MemberMouse plugin runs on your own servers. You put in the plugin on your site, but may also possess a MemberMouse account; your website then assesses with the MemberMouse licensing server to send data on site usage. As this is a"check in", your website does not need MemberMouse's licensing servers to run the membership component of your site. Because of this, website performance is entirely determined by your own hosting and surroundings.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 per month for 1,000 users as much as premium and specialist plans at $300-600 per month for sites with more than 100,000 users (support is included for the majority of programs ). Each pricing tier provides distinct benefits (such as premium support beginning with advanced programs ), but here's a rough breakdown of price based on number of consumers.
Managing Staff
One of the great things about MemberMouse is that members can handle themeselves, which helps free up time you'd otherwise spend onsite management. You could also customize the member"My Account" page to automatically upsell your merchandise for you, or to attempt to save sales if members wish to cancel.When members make changes to their accounts, these changes are automatically reflected in your e mail lists or alternative integrations built-in to MemberMouse so you don't have to manually manage changes in membership (i.e., moving from the"gold" list to the"platinum" email list). The members centre is geared towards simplifying and simplifying your site direction, which may save massive amounts of time for websites with thousands of members.If you want to downsell members who'd prefer to cancel, you are able to take advantage of the MemberMouse Conserve the Sale webpage , which lets you create a downsell which will be revealed to associates who want to cancel a membership. If members do cancel, you can opt to difficult cancel the membership, which blocks access to the members area and logging in, or you can pause the membership. When a member pauses their account (or you opt to place cancellations to membership pauses), their membership is really suspended so they still have access to any content that has been published up to this point, but are removed from the drip program and cannot get any new content.

Billing and Payments
You may continue to charge on a recurring basis forever, or you can decide on a number of cycles for the membership (for example"3 payments of $19.95″). In addition, you are able to bill a one-time fee for memberships (though I would recommend avoiding this unless you're just starting out, as you'll constantly have to pursue new members, which sort of defeats the purpose of some recurring billing model ).You can also use coupons with MemberMouse, and determine whether to use them to the first billing cycle or the life of this membership. Coupons can supply a percent a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons can also be made to deliver an totally free membership, or you could create a membership for a client yourself and deductions which membership instead. Coupon use can be limited to specific products or a number of applications.The very best thing about charging is that you can control recurring billing actions, like refunds, directly from MemberMouse instead of logging in to your account with your payment processor. You can use one on-site payment method, such as Stripe or Authorize.net, and in the exact same time use PayPal or ClickBank to provide up to three payment options.Because cards are tokenized and saved to get members, MemberMouse may also help automate late payment handling to save your client control staff time and keep your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse detects that a card has been declined, it marks the member's accounts as late, then sends the manhood and email asking him to login and upgrade the card information in the accounts. The member can then update billing information from the"My Account" page. The penis is then instantly charged the amount due and the member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse is not designed to be an eCommerce system, but it does allow you to sell some physical goods through your site and also to sell physical goods with subscriptions, like magazines (though I believe it does a far superior job with virtual products compared to physical goods ). When you produce your goods, you indicate it as"shippable", then put up fundamental transport rates (such as regular and expedited shipping).Personally, I'd only include shipping as part of the membership pricing a month (and advertise that actuality!) To simplify my store management, however, the delivery methods can be useful for selling'swag' items and other physical products for your site.
MemberMouse has a few integrations built in to assist you with your website administration. First, email is critical for communication and participation. You can take advantage of this integration to manage your connection with members using an email platform you are already familiar with, and moving members between automatic lists to help save you time.MemberMouse also incorporates with iDevAffiliate to handle affiliates to your membership site. When customers have been sent in an affiliate, this can automatically be noted in the member accounts, and you'll be able to opt to dynamically display content or provides to members according to what affiliate referred them to your site.
Speaking of Developers
If you're an advanced user, or have a programmer on staff, it's possible to further automate a lot of MemberMouse functions. Besides smart tags (shortcodes from WordPress lingo), there are lots of actions and filters available, as well as a well-documented collection of international functions for use in templates and other customized code. Nonetheless, these push notifications may also be used to trigger actions in third party integrations (i.e., sending information to an accounting program ). MemberMouse additionally has an API that developers can utilize to integrate MemberMouse with outside systems, which isn't the case with all membership plugins. This allows you to create, get, and upgrade information about members.
MemberMouse includes email support with all programs, also offers various other tools for consumers. Total documentation can be obtained, and was fairly helpful for me. Some documentation comprises movie walkthroughs, and all settings and functions are recorded. I only used the service desk time for an problem with the wise tag library, and received a response to the question I submitted in the morning after the exact same afternoon, and got a followup email to let me know the issue would be solved within the next release.Furthermore, there's programmer documentation accessible for website customizations. If you're running a membership site with thousands of associates, odds are you have a programmer on retainer or one on staff, so getting docs handy for tweaks and customizations is a plus.

MemberMouse Review
MemberMouse provides huge functionality and will allow you to treat your membership website like a business instead of a hobby. As it's designed for sites with tens of thousands of members, this should not come as a surprise. Establishing a website and fundamental material restriction is simple (especially with the help of this"Getting Started" videos), but much more personalization is possible in case you are willing to generate a time investment in site setup and optimization. There is definitely a learning curve involved with using MemberMouse, but it's in proportion to the amount of functionality you get out of the plugin, since it has almost everything you might desire in a membership stage.
MemberMouse makes it effortless to improve the Lifetime Value of your members by providing the capability for same-sex earnings. By removing barriers to buy for existing members, you are able to radically increase conversions. When members have been logged in, buy links simply start a pop-up confirming that the purchase will be billed to the card to the account to make the purchase essentially a one time sale (account info is currently prepopulated with the payment data tokenized from the customer account). As you've gone through the time and cost to acquire these members, up-selling them is made as easy as possible to generate extra revenue and to help them find other products.Another interesting feature is the capacity to email buy links to members, so that if the link is clicked, members have been logged in and delivered to a pre-populated shopping cart to again remove as many barriers as possible to purchase.The level of support MemberMouse provides was interesting for me personally, as many membership solutions offer you the plugin / integration and support, and that's it. The Fast Start agency is a white-gloved setup and installation, which is offered by some other providers, but MemberMouse additionally provides a list of experienced builders, and supports present users to become affiliates to promote the services. Developer tools are also a great improvement, and help you to customize, tweak, or expand your usage of MemberMouse past WordPress. WordPress Plugin Premium Membership

Starting at the PEC, each contestant must make their way to and from McDonald's under their own power. Each contestant must independently consume a meal consisting of one large fries, one large coke (or sprite), and a double big mac. Meals will be pre-ordered. The food must be consumed at the tables outside, and contestants cannot leave until approved by race officials. The Phys-ed symbol on the ground outside the PEC is the start/finish line. Any competitor who pukes at any point during the race must run a penalty lap by going straight through the finish line to University street, take a right to Earl street, following to Division street and then taking a right back to Union before being able to finish at the PEC. No external help is allowed for athletes at any point during the competition.
Happy Meal Fun Run
The same rules apply as above except the required meal now consists of a McDonald's McNugget happy meal. Competitors will also be required to carry their happy meal toy with them on the second leg of the run, and present it at the finish line in order for results to be official. Failing to present the happy meal toy will result in a hefty time penalty.
Team Scoring
With the participation of the McMaster Marauders, there will be team results tabulated. Placings of the top finishers from Queen's and McMaster will be summed as per the standard cross country meet. Displacers will be used to resolve a possible tie. Competitors on the same team cannot physically assist their teammates in any way.
Additional rules:
- Food must be consumed as prepared by the restaurant (no removing pickles, etc). Dietary requirements will be dealt with and approved on an individual basis.
- No intestinal performance enhancements or other drugs that may assist in stomaching the meal will be permitted.

Donal Lenihan looks at three challenges that will decide Ireland's day of destiny.
1. Make sure chemistry trumps emotion
It seems strange to suggest that a team as successful as this England side — remember they were back-to-back Six Nations champions going into last weekend — might today be relying on raw emotion to beat Joe Schmidt's extremely well-choreographed Irish side.
A few weeks ago, nobody would have foreseen England returning to Twickenham on the back of two defeats, having accounted for Italy and Wales in their opening two outings.
However, a side moulded and fine-tuned by Eddie Jones over a remarkable run of success since February 2016 now looks in need of a radical overhaul, with only one week to oversee it.
Jones confirmed that necessity by making seven changes, all of which are justified. For this group of England players, today is a one-off contest, an opportunity to right the wrongs of the last two games. All talk of the World Cup in 18 months' time has gone out the window. For some of the England players, their World Cup aspirations could be over already if they lose again. They will remember what Ireland did to them at this juncture last season, despite having lost to Scotland and Wales earlier on in the championship.
History is full of one-off Ireland victories over more-fancied England sides, when various teams emptied the emotional well with performances driven by passion, pure heart and a manic desire to spoil England's day. Those roles are reversed today, as England seek to protect an unbeaten Six Nations run at Twickenham that stretches back to 2012.
An epic encounter awaits in Twickenham tomorrow!
A win for last year's Champions or a Grand Slam for Ireland?
PREVIEW: https://t.co/nNniiOr3F1 pic.twitter.com/FS7VBasLe9— Guinness Six Nations (@SixNationsRugby) March 16, 2018
Under Schmidt, this Irish side is extremely well organised, coordinated to a tee with each individual absolutely clear as to his individual and collective role. There is no room for doubt and that makes them a nightmare to play against.
Just when you think you have them on the ropes, they find a way to bounce back. Their multi-phase pressure game forces you into making mistakes and to concede penalties which they convert with ruthless efficiency. If England are to win today, they must learn to protect the ball in contact and control their emotional energy. To have any chance, their discipline simply has to improve.
2. Win the showdown at the breakdown
England face a serious dilemma. They know they will have to commit more numbers to the ruck to compete with Ireland, will have to be more physical in doing so and must somehow find a way to slow Ireland's ball down without adding to their growing reputation as serial offenders.
England have conceded 48 penalties in the tournament, starting with a respectable nine against Italy but rising to a peak of 16 in the defeat to France. They average 12 penalties a match compared to 5.5 conceded by Ireland.
In an attempt to address this chronic situation, Jones drafted in outside help at training last Tuesday in South African official Marius van der Westhuizen, who was due to act as assistant referee at Twickenham today. Not anymore. That training ground involvement cost him the appointment, as England, rightly, were adjudged to have gleaned an unfair advantage. With Australian referee Angus Gardner in charge, Jones wanted a southern hemisphere take on England's woes at the breakdown rather than use regular adviser Wayne Barnes from the RFU. The big loser here was van der Westhuizen, as Jones got everything he wanted from the exercise. We will find out today if that contributes to a more disciplined performance around the contact area.
Of equal concern for Jones has been England's complete failure to compete at the breakdown and the inability to protect the ball in contact. Incredibly, of the 16 penalties conceded in Paris, seven occurred when England were in possession.
That has served to highlight poor technique in contact, a failure of the support for the ball carrier to arrive in time and clean out opposition players. The fact that Ireland have been so adept in this increasingly influential aspect of the game must be keeping Jones awake all week. Something has to change here for England to compete.
The fact that Jones has made all the changes I feared he might, concerns me. In my opinion, this is the strongest matchday squad England have fielded in the entire championship. The front five will be very competitive at the set-piece and the back-row has a more balanced look about it, even if it is still lacking a pure open side.
If England choose to resource the ruck with more numbers and more intensity — which they are certain to do — then they will effect change in a key area that cost them dearly in the last two games. The big question is will that improvement be rapid and dynamic enough to impact on Ireland's clear breakdown superiority.
3. Have the key leaders define the outcome
The changes Jones has made to his starting side has made them stronger, but may not have the desired effect when it comes to offering more leadership and direction. The return of long-term captain Dylan Hartley will help, but as we have seen before — against Italy's no-ruck policy last season and against Scotland last month when they couldn't find the composure needed to get themselves back into the game — this team just isn't solution-driven.
It helps that those players operate in key positions right down the spine of the team, an experienced core all the way through, from the front row to full-back.
In the white heat of today's battle, that will be crucial. As Ireland demonstrated so decisively against France on day one of the championship, they know how to manufacture scores when the need is greatest. I suspect that this will be crucial today as England look to restore some lost pride after what has proved a very disappointing few weeks.
Make no mistake, England are more than capable of winning this game. By restoring Farrell to out-half and pairing him with his influential Saracens half-back partner Richard Wigglesworth, England will be far more direct, especially with Ben Te'o recalled at inside centre. Te'o is well aware of how Sexton and Garry Ringrose operate from his time at Leinster. He also enjoyed a very good Lions tour.
The England back three, with two of the Lions test trio on board in Elliot Daly and Anthony Watson, have the capacity to trouble Ireland and, working in tandem with Jonny May, offer a serious attacking threat. One area of potential vulnerability, however, concerns the switch of Watson from his Lions position on the wing to full-back, where he has looked less than convincing in the basics of the role when playing there for Bath.
That is something Sexton and Conor Murray will be acutely aware of and will seek to expose with their accuracy from the boot and the excellent kick/chase offered by the back three.
Ireland have all the attributes to make history today, but this revamped England side will make things extremely difficult. In some respects, it's beneficial that Ireland's Six Nations celebrations last weekend were so muted and low-key. Their moment of triumph was marked with a smile of satisfaction and a quiet handshake. That has only served to reinforce the feeling within the group that they have unfinished business and one more giant step to take.
