Where To Get The Most Omega-3s
You usually find the most omega-3 fat in the fattiest fish from the coldest deep sea. Richest sources are:
- Mackerel
- Anchovies
- Herring
- Salmon
- Sardines
- Lake trout
- Atlantic sturgeon
- Tuna
Moderate amounts are found in the following:
- Turbot
- Bluefish
- Striped bass
- Shark
- Rainbow smelt
- Swordfish
- Rainbow trout
Shellfish – crab, lobster, shrimp, mussels, oysters, clams and squid – contain lesser amounts of omega-3s.
To get the most omega-3 benefits, bake or poach fish. Frying or otherwise adding fat, especially vegetable oils high in omega-6s, decreases the omega-3 potency in the fish.
Choose tuna packed in water and sardines canned without oil, unless it is a sardine oil, noted on the label as sild Added oils, such as soybean oil, can diminish the omega-3s. Also, draining oil from the canned tuna washes away from 15 to 25 percent of the omega-3s, whereas draining water off washes away only 3 percent.
You can also get some omega-3s in certain plant foods. The highest concentrations are in walnuts, flaxseed and rapeseed (from which canola oil is made) and purslane, a green leafy vegetable that grows wild in the United States and is commonly eaten in Europe and the Middle East. However, plant omega-3s appear to be only one-fifth as potent as marine omega-3s in fostering beneficial reactions in cells.

Fish Oil For Prevention
The following is a list of various disorders that fish oil may alleviate or prevent:
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Reduces joint pain, soreness, stiffness, fatigue.
- Heart attacks: Cuts the odds of subsequent heart attacks by one-third.
- Clogged arteries: Keeps arteries open and clear. Eaters of fatty fish have less atherosclerosis. Reduces risk of reclosure of arteries after angioplasty surgery by 40 to 50 percent.
- High blood pressure: Eliminates or reduces the need for pharmaceutical pressure-lowering medications.
- Ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease): In one test, eating 4.5 grams of fish oil a day – equal to that in seven ounces of mackerel – for eight months depressed disease activity by 56 percent.
- Psoriasis: Reduces itching, redness, pain in some patients, and cuts the amount of medication needed.
- Multiple sclerosis: Helps reduce symptoms in some patients.
- Asthma: Curtails attacks in some individuals.
- Migraine headaches: Lessens severity and frequency in some sufferers.

The Lifesaving Power of Fish
"Our epidemic of heart disease and cancer may be the result of a human fish oil deficiency state so enormous we fail to recognize it."
~Ewan Cameron, MD
New research underscores the enormous lifesaving power of fat in fish. Eating fatty fish can directly intervene to save people from death and disability from heart attacks. Studies have found that atherosclerosis – diseased and clogged arteries – worsens, the less marine oil a person eats.
Dr. William E. M. Lands,a pioneering researcher on fish oils, has developed a formula that he says can precisely predict an individual's odds of heart attack; a simple finger-prick test measures a person's blood ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The higher the proportion of marine omega-3s to omega-6s, the lower the risk of heart attack. Similarly, studies reveal that a high ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids in the blood cuts your chances of cancer.
Although it's largely unappreciated, our over-consumption of omega-6 oils, prevalent in margarine, salad oil, cooking oil and processed food, is helping create a health disaster. It is true, heart authorities first encouraged the widespread use of such vegetable oils to lower blood cholesterol, not suspecting the oils could have detrimental effects on other aspects of health, such as fostering inflammatory diseases, lowering immunity and promoting cancer. Such omega-6 oils are well-documented villains in augmenting cancer incidence, cancer spread and deaths in laboratory animals.
The only way to correct this abnormal and alarming fat imbalance in cells is to cut back drastically on foods rich in omega-6s and increase the intake of marine omega-3s, say experts. The impact is almost immediate. Within 72 hours, you can see a beneficial biochemical impact in tissue by eating three and a half ounces of fish a day, studies indicate.
It is smart to eat fish, especially fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring and tuna, at least two or three times a week. However, adding any amount of seafood to a seafood-poor diet can readjust our fatty acid balance somewhat, helping curtail not only heart disease, but the many modern disorders linked to a "seafood fat deficiency."
Research shows that eating just an ounce of fish a day may help restore our cells to healthy functioning, saving countless people from disability and premature death inflicted by the unimagined consequences of fat's pharmacological powers.

You Are The Fat You Eat
Very quickly after you eat fat, it shows up in the membranes of your cells where its metabolic fate is determined. Although fatty acids come in many subtle variations of molecular arrangement, two major categories are most important in making elcosanoids, (a family of powerful, hormone-like compounds produced in the body from Essential Fatty Acids).
These two major categories are omega-3 fatty acids, concentrated in marine life as well as a few land plants, and omega-6 fatty acids, concentrated in land-based vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower and sunflower oil, as well as in animal foods raised on land-based feeds.
When you consume land-based omega-6 fatty acids from a piece of meat or corn oil, they are apt to be changed into a substance called arachidonic acid, which in turn spawns substances that are highly inflammatory or promote blood stickiness and blood vessel constriction. Fat from seafood is radically different and more benign. Its omega 3 fatty acids are apt to be converted into substances that counteract blood platelet clumping, dilate blood vessels and reduce inflammation and cell damage.
Since food is made of mixtures of omega-3s and omega-6s, obviously these two fatty acids are continuously giving contradictory instructions to cells. Which prevails – those for health or those for disease – depends on the ratio of the two fatty acids in your diet and hence your cells, says William E. M. Lands, PhD., a pioneering researcher on fish oils and formerly a professor of biochemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
If your cells are flooded with omega-6 fatty acids, the resulting oversupply of overactive prostaglandins is apt to run amok, generating disease. If you have sufficient omega-3 fatty acids, they can check or cool down the archidonic engine that is spewing out the disease-producing eicosanoids.

"When we walked up to the Zune area he started looking at the accessories while I caught a bit of a conversation between a young man and a couple at the Zune demo area. Turns out the Zune on display was not functioning and the couple was looking to by one. The young man owned one and was explaining why he thought it was the best "MP3" player out. I interjected and told about my son and his buddies sharing last night which the couple thought was cool. My son then hearing me offered to let them take a look at his since the display was not working. The other young man at this point said something about not thinking and pulled out his Zune (just for clarification this is the first time ever I have been at the Zune stand and seen tow people with Zunes together. I hope it is a sign of things to come.). Then he and my son proceeded to demo the whole sharing piece which really wowed the couple. When my son and I left the couple was having a Circuit City representative assist them in getting a white one (so it would look like their friends iPod). I really wish we would see this kind of explicit advertising letting people know exactly what the Zune is capable of."

I thought this was a great story - have you been doing any "Zune Evangelising" (I'm going to resist the urge to call it something like "Zunegelising" or another equally horrid term) in any retail stores, or even amongst your friends? Retail stores in particular are always a bit odd for me - I really enjoy helping people with technology, and teaching them about what to look for, but I also don't like being the guy that the staff complains about ("Why is that idiot customer doing our job for us?"). Sometimes big box retail staff are happy to have help, but it gets a little bit dicey when they're giving our false information and you correct them - like the Best Buy salesperson who told a customer the 120 GB 2.5" portable hard drive he was looking at was "flash-based" and "had no moving parts". I just had to speak up then, and the Best Buy employee didn't seem to appreciate it much.

What has it been like talking about the Zune features - do you find it's a hard sell, or are people eager to Join the Social after you show them what it can do? Or are they put off by some of the limitations around WiFi sharing and supported video formats? I know that when I tell people about the WiFi sharing they're instantly interested, but when I explain the 3 days/3 plays limitation they say "Oh, never mind then" - it seems to kill the deal for them. What has your experience been?

Guns, I want them, you need them
|Guns, I want them, you need them
Crime Mall
|Hell's Saviors
|Casualties and losses
|10 physical boxes
|4 bikers
The runners got the guns back, and almost lost Cryo in the process
Crime mall caught an acute case of "No product to sell", runners were hired to fix it.
The Meet
The runners met at Crime Mall to find out they had to hunt down a stolen van full of military grade guns. The Johnson offered 10k which was negotiated to 14k
The Plan
The runners were investigating the van when they stumbled across it during their search.
The Run
Perk hacked the van to stop it, while Mack set up across the road with a rifle to take out the thieves. Unfortunately the thieves got the drop and put up a fight.
Nothing of value was lost.
14k nuyen 1 karma +1 Crime Mall faction rep
- Purkinje WFTM 1 K → 2,000¥
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Purkinje's Report
Okay so first off, I just wanna say the Johnson's client's paranoia almost cost them thousands of nuyen. Usually paranoia leads people to crazy lengths to protect something, but in this case it backfired. We got a call on short notice about a missing shipment supposed to go to a Crime Mall vendor, and the supplier in flagrant violation of the law tore out the transport truck's transponder chip without even any sort of tracking chips on the merchandise. Somehow the lack of transponder chip didn't alert the police before the go-gangers found it. Anyway, he wanted the guns back. The team and I managed to emphasize the unusual circumstances and talk him up a few thousand nuyen.
We went to the crash site. Swarming with pawns, of course. I uh, distracted a couple of them so the team could take what they needed from the crime scene. Y'know, that's the whole reason I bought that Mortimer dress-coat combo. Glad it paid off. We found out the shipment had been jacked by go-gangers. Small-time, no idea who they actually were. I was able to get info on their car's transponder chip and track them down before they made off with the guns. I rerouted their pilot program to drive them into the barrens away from where they were heading, and with the help of the more combat-gifted, we managed to assault their hit squad and drive off with the Roadmaster carrying the goods. 100% recovery rate, though the Roadmaster rook some cosmetic damage. Good enough for the 14 grand.

Jeremiah 22:13-17Context
22:13 "'Sure to be judged 1 is the king who builds his palace using injustice
and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms. 2
He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing.
He does not pay them for their labor.
22:14 He says, "I will build myself a large palace
with spacious upper rooms."
He cuts windows in its walls,
panels it 3 with cedar, and paints its rooms red. 4
22:15 Does it make you any more of a king
that you outstrip everyone else in 5 building with cedar?
Just think about your father.
He was content that he had food and drink. 6
He did what was just and right. 7
So things went well with him.
22:16 He upheld the cause of the poor and needy.
So things went well for Judah.' 8
The Lord says,
'That is a good example of what it means to know me.' 9
22:17 But you are always thinking and looking
for ways to increase your wealth by dishonest means.
Your eyes and your heart are set
on killing some innocent person
and committing fraud and oppression. 10
1 sn Heb "Woe." This particle is used in laments for the dead (cf., e.g., 1 Kgs 13:30; Jer 34:5) and as an introductory particle in indictments against a person on whom judgment is pronounced (cf., e.g., Isa 5:8, 11; Jer 23:1). The indictment is found here in vv. 13-17 and the announcement of judgment in vv. 18-19.
2 tn Heb "Woe to the one who builds his house by unrighteousness and its upper rooms with injustice using his neighbor [= countryman] as a slave for nothing and not giving to him his wages."
sn This was a clear violation of covenant law (cf. Deut 24:14-15) and a violation of the requirements set forth in Jer 22:3. The allusion is to Jehoiakim who is not mentioned until v. 18. He was placed on the throne by Pharaoh Necho and ruled from 609-598
3 tc The MT should be emended to read חַלֹּנָיו וְסָפוֹן (khallonayv vÿsafon) instead of חַלֹּנָי וְסָפוּן (khallonay vÿsafon), i.e., the plural noun with third singular suffix rather than the first singular suffix and the infinitive absolute rather than the passive participle. The latter form then parallels the form for "paints" and functions in the same way (cf. GKC 345 §113.z for the infinitive with vav [ו] continuing a perfect). The errors in the MT involve reading the וְ once instead of twice (haplography) and reading the וּ (u) for the וֹ (o).
4 tn The word translated "red" only occurs here and in Ezek 23:14 where it refers to the pictures of the Babylonians on the wall of the temple. Evidently this was a favorite color for decoration. It is usually identified as vermilion, a mineral product from red ocher (cf. C. L. Wickwire, "Vermilion," IDB 4:748).
5 tn For the use of this verb see Jer 12:5 where it is used of Jeremiah "competing" with horses. The form is a rare Tiphel (see GKC 153 §55.h).
6 tn Heb "Your father, did he not eat and drink and do justice and right." The copulative vav in front of the verbs here (all Hebrew perfects) shows that these actions are all coordinate not sequential. The contrast drawn here between the actions of Jehoiakim and Josiah show that the phrase eating and drinking should be read in the light of the same contrasts in Eccl 2 which ends with the note of contentment in Eccl 2:24 (see also Eccl 3:13; 5:18 [5:17 HT]; 8:15). The question is, of course, rhetorical setting forth the positive role model against which Jehoiakim's actions are to be condemned. The key terms here are "then things went well with him" which is repeated in the next verse after the reiteration of Josiah's practice of justice.
7 sn The father referred to here is the godly king Josiah. He followed the requirements for kings set forth in 22:3 in contrast to his son who did not (22:13).
8 tn The words "for Judah" are not in the text, but the absence of the preposition plus object as in the preceding verse suggests that this is a more general statement, i.e., "things went well for everyone."
9 tn Heb "Is that not what it means to know me." The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer. It is translated in the light of the context.
sn Comparison of the usage of the words "know me" in their context in Jer 2:8; 9:3, 6, 24 and here will show that more than mere intellectual knowledge is involved. It involves also personal commitment to God and obedience to the demands of the agreements with him. The word "know" is used in ancient Near Eastern treaty contexts of submission to the will of the overlord. See further the notes on 9:3.
10 tn Heb "Your eyes and your heart do not exist except for dishonest gain and for innocent blood to shed [it] and for fraud and for oppression to do [them]." The sentence has been broken up to conform more to English style and the significance of "eyes" and "heart" explained before they are introduced into the translation.

Guidelines issued for prevention of Corona infection in religious events
Bhopal : The Home Department has issued fresh guidelines for the prevention of Corona virus infection during religious events and festivals. Additional Chief Secretary, Home Dr. Rajesh Rajoura informed that according to the new order, people who are installing tableaus and organizers should not permit devotees and visitors to form crowds at narrow places and should ensure social distancing. In the order issued today, the Home Department has withdrawn the ban imposed earlier regarding the heights of idols and taziyas at various public places. Dr. Rajoura has said that with the end of restrictions on the height, permission has been granted to set up the pandals of 30 × 45 feet in place of previously issued 10 × 10 feet at the venue.
Dr. Rajoura told that idol immersion will be done by the organizing committees. Only a group of 10 people will be allowed to take the idols to the immersion site. For this, the organizers will have to take a separate permission from the district administration. The decentralized system of immersion can be considered in the Jila Shanti Samiti and District Crisis Management Committee. Ban on processions in religious-social events will continue. There will also be no permission for the processions for immersions.
Dr. Rajoura said that the traditional symbolic Shri Ram chal samaroha would be allowed before the burning of Ravana. The programme of Ramlila and Ravana Dahan can be organized with the prior approval of the Collector. The programme will be conducted in the open ground while adhering to social distancing norms and wearing face mask. Guidelines issued by the Honourable Supreme Court regarding sound of loud-speakers in Durga Puja and Ravana Dahan programme will have to be followed mandatorily.
As per the order issued by the Home Department, the collectors have been told to ensure adherence to guidelines issued by the state government from time to time, along with the use of face cover by devotees / audience, social distancing and sanitizer in public places in tableaux, pandals, immersion events, Ramlila and Ravana Dahan for protection against Covid infection in public places. Dr. Rajoura told that in view of the Covid infection, strict adherence to the other instructions also have to be followed. If the instructions are not followed, legal action will be taken.

MARLBORO, MA -- If players skating at the USPHL Spring Showcase feel like they're under quite a bit of pressure, that's a good thing.
After all, the coaches of the 11 National Collegiate Development Conference teams will all be watching every player – not just those on the teams they bring – to see how they react when the puck is on the ice in competition. After all, these NCDC teams are looking for the players who will form a foundation for their 2018-19 teams, as they pursue their goals of player advancement to the NCAA and the Dineen Cup playoff championship.
The 2018 USPHL Spring Showcase will be held May 11-13 at the New England Sports Center in Marlboro, Mass.
NCDC teams are fielding multiple squads, as they look to narrow down their rostered player choices, especially with the NCDC Draft just a few days later, on March 16.
"You can have tryout camps, which are great, but the Showcase helps us to evaluate players in game situations. It is one piece of the process to solidify roster spots," said Northern Cyclones head coach Bill Flanagan. "You can do a lot of cone drills, but with the showcase, it is important for our staff to see how the kids react to certain situations."
The New Jersey Hitmen are extremely proactive in their planning for the Spring Showcase.
"With the advent of the NCDC and tuition-free hockey, we recruit year-round, watching players and building lists for future drafts and possible free agents," said Hitmen head coach Toby Harris. "In November, we begin to mail out invitations to players of high interest for the USPHL Spring Showcase. We use this tournament to get one final, in-depth look at these 40 players prior to the NCDC main draft on May 16."
Some teams, such as the South Shore Kings and Syracuse Jr. Stars, hold mini-camps immediately prior to the USPHL Spring Showcase.
"The Stars hold a Pre-Draft camp for two days prior to the showcase," said Nicole Kirnan Kelly, general manager for Syracuse. "We utilize this to work with the players and evaluate how players react in a practice setting and training habits. [The Stars] utilize the Spring Showcase to evaluate players for next year's roster. We also make final decisions on tender offers and draft prospects."
There is no single right or wrong way to build a team, and different NCDC teams attack the building of their next year's squad in different ways.
"We do not do a Pre-Draft tryout," said the Hitmen's Harris. "We use the Spring Showcase as our 'Pre-Draft camp,' as we stand behind the USPHL Showcase competition as the best measuring stick prior to our draft, to see who fits best into our style of play."
The NCDC Draft, on May 16, will consist of 12 rounds. Players selected in the NCDC Draft will then be able to attend the Main Camp of the team that drafted them, in hopes of landing a roster spot for 2017-18. Many of the main camps will also welcome non-drafted players who reach out to NCDC teams. Just as with the Hitmen, the New Jersey Rockets do quite a bit of homework before the Showcase and Draft.
"We have an identifier camp in April. This is where players can be evaluated by our staff to see who can play at the NCDC level," said Jason Kilcoyne, the new head coach of the Rockets' NCDC team.
"The Draft is very important to us this year because we are completely rebuilding our team and our culture from last season," Kilcoyne added. "We are also building for the future in the draft. We value the draft, the tender process and free agency all the same, because in the end we are going to be taking the best 23 players we can find."
"The NCDC Draft is an important part of building a team," added the Stars' Kelly. "It is a good way to add to returning players, future prospects, and tenders to formulate the team."
Some NCDC teams will announce tenders between the Showcase and the Draft, and some teams have already begun announcing their tenders.
The NCDC allows each of its teams to sign eight players to tenders. These tenders disallow other NCDC teams to sign them until after the tendering team's main camp, if the tendering team does not sign the tendered player.
"Of our eight, we still have a couple available," said the Cyclones' Flanagan. "Within those tenders, we are banking on these players to be part of our hockey team as long as they do their work in the off-season.
"My staff does their homework and puts in the hours and research to make sure the guys we are going to draft will fit into our system," added Flanagan. "[Cyclones Director of Recruiting/NCDC Assistant Coach] Frank O'Connor will be drafting the right kids – good hockey players and good people."
"The NCDC Draft is just one piece of the puzzle in building a championship-caliber team," added Harris, of the New Jersey Hitmen. "Proper utilization of tenders, scouring the free agent market and league showcases are also major avenues that the Hitmen use in building our NCDC team."
Even after the Showcase and Draft pass, you can still expect to see NCDC teams out finding players – if not for their 2018-19 team, then for beyond. After all, NCDC teams selected 67 players in the Jan. 31 Futures Draft.
Futures Draft selections were born between 2002 and 2003, and are meant for players expected to play in the league beyond 2019. The Futures Draft gives each team prospects that no other NCDC team can sign to a tender over the next year.
There are many ways to earn the right to play for a NCDC team, but a lot of decisions will be made in mid-May that both teams and players expect will help them reach all of their common goals.

At my parents house, they have peonies growing in two spots. A little section next to the driveway and one little spot in the backyard by the deck. I don't remember when they planted the peonies, but they've been there for as long as I can remember. Peonies are so beautiful and I hate that they bloom for such a short amount of time. Seriously, they only bloom for maybe 2 weeks and if there's a bad storm while they're in bloom then forget about it. They'll all be drooping and the petals will have fallen off.
They're pretty much all gone now, but when I walked over to my parents' house from my condo about 2 weeks ago they were in blooming and gorgeous. I cut a few of the ones that weren't fully open to take home with me to put in vases.

Language in action. Language as a system.
Stylistic closely relatives with speech and language(as a system). The idea of language was involved by Ferdenand de Sodeir. The subject matter of linguistic is language as a system. All rules and pattens of language which are collected generalized in books of phonetics, lexicology etc. Rules appear in action It's called rules in English. It's possible to say following Screbnev the language is a system of humanity. Speech a source. Speech is creative, fresh and unpredictable. A linguistic unit or item is an element of language as a system may assume a association of value when it appears in a context. Moreover it's comment by linguistic rules in speech. EX. The headline of an article devoted to jubilee of queen's mother. The smashingest birthday of a queen. IT contain logical incomparable notions (ex. hating love).
As specific sphere as a system are mentally associated with this sphere. EX. jobless (we use unemployment) EX.Fuel (nопливо - сущ, заправлять топливом - гл. но есть еще значение to make smt unpleasant pleased) Deviations (отклонения) of norm. To spot them implies (подразумивает) different variations.It's a knowledge abstract universal norm. There are different norms of styles of language. Galperin said the notion of a norm mainly refers to a literally standard as a received standard. Which apposed to low-colloquial usage. Skrebnev holds the vies that there are different view of various types of language. Westen linguist say that the norm is the same as nutrality. Moreover there is opinion. What is stylistically colored and conspicues is departure of a language. The answer is deviation of stylistic characters are not deviation of foregrounded(выдвигаемый на передний план) natural language usage.
The problem of stylistic difference of english vocabulary.
The matter is that it accompanied by literary layer. The spoken character is called the colloquial lair. It consist of the words which consist universal character. Special literally vocabulary can be sub-divided into 5 groups:
1. Terms.
2. archaic (архаичные) and historical words.
3. Poeticisms and highly literally words.
4. Barbarism (слова иностран. происхождения)
5. Literally coinage (литературный неологизм) nonce words.
The colloquial lair is in common colloquial lair(CCL) and special colloquial vocabulary (SCV)
It can be sub-divided into 6 groups:
4.vulgar words
5.dialoged words
6.colloquial coinagas (диалекты)
Neutral words form Standard english vocabulary.
Neutral words - the words of these have universal character. There are the main source of policyme and synonym. Not to change. They have no stylistic coloring. But in some cases context make acquire stylistic coloring.
Rather stable bookish character. In the speech of personages fiction they may serve to characterize the person through his or her speech.

Taking their name from the word for a decorative handbag favored by women in the Klaipeda region of Lithuania, British garage pop girl group, the Delmonas began life as the Milkboilers. If that moniker sounds suspiciously similar to that of the Billy Childish-led Milkshakes, it's no coincidence: The trio got its start by singing backup on the lads' recordings (and dating the boys in the band). Sarah (who went with Mickey Hampshire), Hilary (with Russ Wilkins), and Louise (with Bruce Brand) took the lead on a rendition of the Beatles' "Boys" before striking out on their own with a couple of four-song EPs in 1984: Comin' Home Baby (popularized by Mel Tormé) and Hello, We Love You (actually the Doors' "Hello, I Love You.") In both cases, the Milkshakes served as their backing band and Childish and Hampshire wrote most of the originals. The following year, the Delmonas released their first full-length recording, Dangerous Charms, which rounded up the EP tracks, three outtakes, and five numbers from a radio broadcast (it was later released as Delmonas Plus Delmonas with additional material from another BBC session). Interpersonal tensions resulted in a recording gap of several years and a revamped lineup for 1988's follow-up, Delmonas 5!. Louise had since left the group and Hilary and Sarah had renamed themselves Miss Ida Red and Ludella Black (the latter possibly in tribute to British chanteuse Cilla Black). They were backed by the first lineup of Thee Mighty Caesars (Childish, Wilkins, and John Agnew). The new combo cranked out a louder, harder-hitting sound. The Delmonas hit the streets in 1989 and continued in the same brassy vein. It featured Dangerous Charms' lost title-track and a couple of earlier numbers redone in French (Delmonas 5! and The Delmonas were later combined onto one CD). Do the Uncle Willy, released later the same year, was the band's final musical document. It compiled material from previous releases, a couple of alternate takes, and a new version of the Milkshakes' "Lie Detector." On all of their recordings, the Delmonas mixed cover versions from the '50s and '60s with original compositions that sounded as if they came from that era -- upbeat ravers in the spirit of the Shangri-Las, Lesley Gore, Nancy Sinatra, and other tough-but-tender girl acts. If they didn't quite have the vocal range of those artists, they made up for it in attitude and enthusiasm. This spirit was carried over into the Headcoatees, which included Black and Holly Golightly (now Brand's main squeeze), and would fulfill the same function: as backup to Thee Headcoats and as a band backed by them. In 2000, after both groups had called it quits, Black released her first solo album She's Out There (backed, not too surprisingly, by Hampshire and Brand, with whom she had begun her musical career).

Which Mobile POS is best for you? Here we start with 9 of them and we whittle it down to one or two.
Any Mobile POS device that you pick up will have been designed, developed and delivered to the same global standards, which means that there are very few technical differences. You are a small merchant, and you have more important things on your mind … rightly so! You don't care about the technical differences as long as the device does the job and looks the part.
Owning your own POS terminal enables your business to break free from monthly fees or binding contracts with big-boy merchant acquirers, while still accepting cards payments. It's difficult to make direct comparisons between monthly service fees and pay-as-you-go transaction processing as merchant rates are considered to be commercially sensitive and therefore rarely published. One has to take the view that the market is competitive and if cheaper rates were viable for smaller pay-as-you-go merchants, then some organisation would have implemented them – I would like to think that they're not operating a cartel.
All the pay-as-you-go rates covered below fall within the same narrow band, and as a rate for low transaction volumes, they do not seem unreasonable. That's my starting point: the technologies are pretty much the same and the rates are pretty much the same. It's all about the look and the feel, what the device looks like in your environment and how you feel about the customer services.
I am assuming that this is your first time looking.
I am thinking that you like cash. You know where you are with cash and it's always been there for you.
It just works but … maybe there are alternatives.
What is Mobile POS?
Let's start by thinking about definition of a POS system.
It won't take long.
What is a POS?
The acronym POS stands for Point of Sale … I suspect that you knew that.
In its simplest form, the Point of Sale is the place where goods and services are exchanged for some kind of payment. In the retail environment, it's the endpoint of the customer journey.
The simplest POS devices were cash registers that recorded the individual cash transactions associated with purchases. The fact that they recorded every transaction helped to reduce fraud as all parties could see the value of the transaction and the cash register recorded the amount. The value of the physical cash taken during the day should match the cash amount recorded by the cash register.
Todays POS devices are considerably more sophisticated than the largely obsolete single-feature cash register. They are multi-functional devices capable of supporting much of the small, medium and large retailer's business requirements:
- receipts
- cash payments
- card payments
- coupons
- payment reconciliation
- inventory management
- support for loyalty
- coupon printing
Most of today's fixed POS systems can support most of the above business services with their individual configurations depending on the needs of the retailer.
A Mobile POS device is not the same. A Mobile POS device will generally only be required to support a small subset of the features of a fixed POS, essentially card payments and maybe receipt printing. Some mobile devices also support customer orders, like those you see in restaurants but whilst they are mobile, they are not the Mobile POS we are talking about here.
The Mobile POS devices that we are considering here are those that only take card payments and rely on the mobile phone networks for communication.
What is a Mobile POS?
A Mobile POS provides all the functionality a seller needs to be able to accept payment cards … in a stand-alone package.
The Mobile POS devices that we are considering here are those reasonably simple devices that allow a seller to offer their customers the ability to pay by card. We are not going to be considering the mobile, or portable, devices that rely on there being additional kit nearby in-store. We are therefore not considering so-called Mobile POS devices that are advertised as mobile simply because they are not connected to the wall by a wire.
The Mobile POS card payment device is built around a stand-alone card reader and:
- only accepts card payments,
- uses a mobile phone or a mobile phone equivalent,
- uses mobile phone data networks,
- requires no additional hardware.
The devices you're going to be interested in are going to be:
- card reading widgets that connect to your phone using Bluetooth,
- or devices that look like mobile phones but read cards instead of making calls.
From a payment perspective, both of these options will do exactly the same thing:
- Payment Request,
- Payment Authorisation,
- Payment Completion.
The difference is that one uses your phone and the other combines the card reader and the phone functionality in a single unit.
Functionally, all the available devices are going to operate in pretty much the same way. They have to, the standards that determine how they operate are global and are tightly monitored and controlled. Sometimes your choice is just going to come down to the aesthetics.
Why do I need a Mobile POS?
There are several reasons why a Mobile POS solution might be right for you.
You don't have a shop: there are many businesses that don't operate a physical storefront … painters and decorators, mobile hairdressers, market traders and the like, and for all these people, cash (and cheque) has been the only option.
It's also the case that these businesses are not supported particularly well by the banks. To a degree, though that degree is reducing, small and medium enterprises (SME) fall down the crack between Corporate Banking and Personal Accounts.
Until fairly recently, the advantages of being able to accept card payments as a mobile business was almost impossible. Now there are truly portable card reading devices that can support customer payments using mobile GSM networks.
You need something more than your in-store POS system: you already have an in-store POS system which manages your business admirably, but you also conduct business off-premises and you have no way of taking payments (other than cash) on the spot. You do have the option of completing a Cardholder Not Present (CNP) transaction but this is messy and looks unprofessional. It also carries a higher risk than the Card Present alternative and costs more to process.
A Mobile POS solution could be the answer, supplementing the in-store POS rather than replacing it, and reducing a lot of the hassle associated with remote payments.
You have limited financial resources: without a doubt, Mobile POS is a much more cost-effective means of taking card payments … for lower card payment volumes.
The average Mobile POS device doesn't cost a huge amount of money when compared to the integrated POS alternatives. However, the transaction processing costs are higher, so the Mobile POS option will become becomes disproportionally more expensive as your transaction volumes increase.
The Mobile POS option is the low-cost option, so far working very well for small businesses … and it is cost-effective with small transaction volumes.
You want something that's easy: if nothing else can be said, it can be said that the Mobile POS option is the simple option. All Mobile POS solutions have been designed with simplicity in mind, most have achieved it.
You can easily get yourself up and running with Mobile POS by buying a card reader and connecting it to your mobile phone. Alternatively, you can go for the stand-alone option that incorporates both card reader and telephone functionality (Data Only!) into the same device.
Assuming you are a legitimate business, you can then register for a Merchant Account to process your payments.
You want to minimise contact with cash: this is especially relevant today as we find ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic. Whilst there is no evidence to suggest that handling cash increases the chances of passing on the Covid-19 virus, there is a widespread public perception that it might. The WHO says that currency doesn't transmit COVID-19 but retailers are taking precautions.
As a retailer or service provider, making the move from cash to card payments (especially contactless card payments) in these challenging times shows your customers that you care.
What should you be looking for in a Mobile POS
The bottom line is that you don't really need to look too far or too deep … because the underlying technologies are the same for all devices. This has to be so because payment cards need to work everywhere, and because the payment devices also need to be able to accept all cards. Everything is tested and certified against the same global card payment standards before being released into the outside world. This means that if you take the lid off and have a look inside, they are all going to look pretty much the same – metaphorically speaking.
I can say this as I spent 30 years working in the industry helping to ensure that everything worked, and that it worked everywhere.
If you are reading this because you are looking to purchase a Mobile POS device, I suggest that you first go with your heart and look for the device that appeals to your sense of aesthetics. Then you should dig around and look at the reviews – next to looking nice comes customer service. If something goes wrong, it needs sorting … it's your money!
If you do want to know all the low-level detail, there are lots of sites that will do that for you. However, I suspect you are more interested in your business than in the finer details of your payment technology.
The reason for me writing this piece is down to my local Rotary Club, so I am now looking for a simple to operate Mobile POS device that should also be relatively inexpensive … and I need to consider that it is probably going to be passed around and used by more than one person.
You may have slightly different needs.
Which cards should I accept?
The ability to accept Visa and Mastercard cards is absolutely a requirement; the acceptance of any of the other card brands is a bonus. There are lots of clever people out there who will tell you that accepting a wide range of cards gives the consumer more choice and that this will improve your business. I'm not so sure. The reality is that most of your customers already understand that some cards are not accepted by some retailers, and a lot of them will be able to tell you which are the tricky ones … especially if they have one of those cards.
Don't forget that your customers are standing in front of you because they want to buy what you are selling … they will have prepared themselves for the situation.
Most people are able to produce at least one card from one of the two main global card brands.
You may have legitimate reasons for wanting to accept one of the others. If you are doing a lot of business with people travelling from the Far East, for example, the ability to accept Union Pay becomes much more important.
Rather than provide you with information that might be out of date, you can click on the Mobile POS image for the currently accepted card list and up to date information about fees and charges.

QUICK ACTION Write to your members of Congress on FY22 funding for nutrition, TB, education.
Got Twenty Minutes? Submit our appropriations requests to your representative's foreign policy aide
A time-sensitive request! The House State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee of Appropriations (SFOPS) leadership (Reps. Lee and Rogers) has set a deadline of April 14 to hear from other representatives about their development assistance spending priorities for fiscal year 2022. This means that your representative has likely set a March deadline to gather input from constituents like you. Now is the time to take action on our FY22 appropriations requests with your representative. Here's what to do:
- Call the foreign policy aide for your representative and ask what the deadline is for submitting SFOPS appropriations requests to their office. Also, ask if they have forms to fill out or if you can just submit our request sheets. If you don't know who the foreign policy aide is, call the office and ask, or contact the Grassroots Impact staff.
- Follow your call with an e-mail to the foreign policy aide, including your questions about deadlines and forms, along with our appropriations requests (which can be found here). Explain why these funding levels are important (drawing on the request sheets or laser talks for your explanation).
- Alternate calling and e-mailing until you get a clear response on the procedure for submitting the appropriations requests and find out whether or not your representative will include our requests in their submission. If they have forms to fill out, we can help. Send them to Dorothy Monza ([email protected]) and Crickett Nicovich ([email protected]) along with the deadline for having them filled out.
- Please let Lisa Marchal ([email protected]) or Ken Patterson ([email protected]) know if you have questions.
Also, register for our Global Poverty Monthly Policy Forum. Join us for a discussion on global tuberculosis Thursday, March 18. The forum will launch at 9:00 pm ET and feature RESULTS Executive Director Joanne Carter. Register today.
Got Another Fifteen Minutes? Get meetings with your members of Congress
Book meetings with your representatives and senators so that we can reinforce our appropriations requests. We've got appropriations memos and companion laser talks on global nutrition, tuberculosis, and education to assist you. To help you get your meetings scheduled and to help you make your requests, use our draft meeting request letter, meeting request laser talk, and campaign request sheets available on our Lobbying support page. You can also get support for scheduling your meetings via our current Action Sheet. We've got the goal of meeting with 100 percent of the Senate and 75 percent of the House. So far, we've reached 54 percent of the Senate and 22 percent of the House with about six weeks left in the campaign. Let's keep going!
TAKE ACTION: Use the appropriations memos and laser talks to make appropriations requests of your members of Congress. Then book meetings with your legislators as soon as possible so you can reinforce those requests. You can ask your Action Network to reach out with appropriations requests as well.
TB Briefings. There are many members of Congress who don't know about tuberculosis or who need to be updated on the devastating impact of COVID-19 on TB. There are two World TB briefings to which you can invite your members of Congress and their staff. Send them the invitations below so they can register.
- World TB Day: Ending TB Briefing Invite March 22, 11:30 am-12:45 pm ET

On the heels of last week's tremendous advancement in the fight against poverty, the Biden Administration and Congress are looking toward their next big priority – economic recovery legislation. Just as we did with COVID relief, RESULTS plans to be in the thick of it on what that plan should look like.
This legislation is an opportunity to significantly scale up long-ignored policies relating to housing and poverty. Right now, only one if four eligible renters can get federal housing assistance. By making the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program universal, or enacting a refundable renters' credit, we can ensure all low-income renters get housing assistance. Furthermore, combining this expansion of housing assistance with making the new EITC and CTC provisions from the COVID bill permanent, we can reduce child poverty in America by more than 60 percent. This is an opportunity that comes along once in a generation. Let's not waste it!
TAKE ACTION: Keep up your First 100 Days momentum (170 meetings and counting!) by taking fifteen minutes to set up meetings with members of Congress and their staff about economic recovery priorities. Urge them to talk to both congressional leadership and the Biden Administration about including expansions of housing assistance and low-income tax credits in the recovery bill. Get to those members you have yet to meet with and circle back to offices you met with earlier this year to urge action on these new requests. We have many resources to help you, including an updated March U.S. Poverty Action, an updated lobby meeting request, new laser talks, and updated housing and tax lobby leave behinds. Once you get a meeting set, please contact Jos Linn or Meredith Dodson for help getting ready.
Also, be sure to join our March Monthly Policy Forum this Thursday, March 18 at 8:00 pm ET. RESULTS Director of U.S. Poverty Policy Meredith Dodson will discuss our 2021 policy priorities (ppt). She'll also answer your questions. Register to attend today! Note that registration ends an hour prior to the webinar.
Got Fifteen Minutes? Use media to push for strong recovery
Last week, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. Within days, people were seeing new stimulus checks arrive in the bank accounts. With renters getting much needed relief to avoid eviction, 17 million low-wage workers seeing a bump in their EITC, and a 45 percent cut in child poverty over the next year through the CTC expansion, people across the country are getting much need help as the economic toll of the pandemic endures.
Remember, it was grassroots pressure from you and other that secured these important provisions. It is worth celebrating. But this is also just the beginning. We still must address the underlying affordable housing crisis and the EITC and CTC provisions passed in ARPA are only temporary. We must work to protect renters, workers, and children from being forced back into dire straits next year. Use the media to bolster your message in First 100 Days lobby meetings – call on lawmakers to enact strong recovery legislation that addresses housing and poverty.
TAKE ACTION: Take fifteen minutes to draft and submit a letter to the editor touting the passage of the American Rescue Plan and urging Congress to pass a strong recovery bill next. Use our new online media alert to thank members of Congress who voted for ARPA – and remind those who didn't that the bill has broad support with the public – and urge them to build on this success with bold policies to tackle housing and poverty.
Eviction sign-on letter draws thousands of groups. More than 2,300 organizations, including RESULTS and local RESULTS groups, signed onto a letter urging the Biden Administration to expand and strengthen the national eviction moratorium. Thank you to all the local RESULTS groups who signed on. You can read more here.

Among the vastly popular fad diets in today's world is the well-known Paleo Diet. This widespread diet was made popular by the researcher, Loren Cordain, PhD. The foundation of this diet was based around Cordain's belief that humans are genetically designed to eat a higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet, similar to the diets our 'cavemen' or 'hunter-gatherer' ancestors followed.
The macronutrient distribution of the Paleo diet is not too specific. However, when compared to the normal macronutrient distribution recommendations, it is higher in protein, lower in carbohydrate, and moderately high in fat. Remember, the recommended macronutrient ranges for adults are 10-35% of calories from protein, 20-35% of calories from fat, and 45-65% of calories from carbohydrates.
Founders of the Paleo diet believe that the typical American diet has stimulated an increase in overweight individuals due to the emphasis and endless options of high carbohydrate, highly processed foods. Paleo diet followers believe cutting these foods out will promote a healthier diet that is believed to be more appropriate for our digestive systems. The Paleo diet recommends a goal of 35-45% of calories from low glycemic index foods (also known as fruits and vegetables).
Doesn't sound too bad so far, right? Well, sadly, there are a multitude of foods you'll have to say your good-byes to. Foods not allowed on the Paleo diet include grains (oats, wheat, barely, rice, cereal, pasta, bread), starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn, peas), legumes and beans, dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream), processed foods (baked goods, canned foods, boxed foods), and added sugar (plain sugar, candies, sweets). The Paleo diet focuses on consuming lean, grass-fed meats and poultry, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans), fruits, nuts and seeds, and plant based oils (olive oil, walnut oil, coconut oil).
Overall, decreasing highly processed and high carbohydrate foods can be seen as beneficial to any healthy lifestyle. Cutting back on processed foods limits intake of added sugars, sodium, and other preservatives. Increasing fruits and vegetables is another aspect within the Paleo diet that is consistent with current nutrition recommendations and research to promote a healthy weight and lifestyle.
The Paleo diet does have disadvantages that need to be addressed. This diet excludes major food groups: dairy, grains, and legumes. Dairy is a primary source of calcium and vitamin D. Eliminating this food group can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Legumes and whole grains are great sources of fiber, which have been scientifically proven to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce blood pressure, and promote a healthy weight. Taking away these foods from your every day diet means taking away nutrients that may not be easily replaced with foods allowed on the Paleo diet.
Other disadvantages of the Paleo diet include a higher risk of heart disease due to excess fats, specifically saturated fats, in the emphasized protein foods. A higher protein diet is not always the best option as protein can affect kidney function. The Paleo diet also requires a significant amount of time for planning and prepping meals to coincide with the guidelines. Also, if you happen to be a vegetarian, then this diet is definitely not for you!
As with any 'diet,' weight loss may occur due to the significant changes and limitations of foods normally consumed. However, if the diet is not maintained or continued, weight gain can occur. Over time, fluctuations in weights between trying new diets can make it more difficult to lose weight in the future. Always get the facts before attempting to significantly change your daily lifestyle, especially if you're planning to eat like a caveman.
(Remember to take into consideration your own food allergies/intolerances, gastrointestinal disorders, medical history and diagnoses, and body composition goals. It is always recommended to collaborate with a physician, trainer, and dietitian for optimal performance and health management.)

Following the weekend's bombshell report by Axios, which suggested a Trump administration proposal to create a government-controlled national 5G network in order to counter spying by the Chinese, numerous White House officials have spoken up to assure us that the government has no such plans ... at least, not yet.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the following comment in press briefing:
"Look, as we outlined in our National Security Strategy ... we discussed the need for a secure network. Right now, we're in the very earliest stages of the conversation. There are absolutely no decisions made on what that would look like, what role anyone would play in it; simply, the need for a secure network. And that is the only part of this conversation that we're up to right now."
"Crisis creates opportunity"
The National Security Council's (NSC) original proposal for the US government to build and own the 5G infrastructure is not likely to gain much traction, but it does raise some legitimate concerns worth paying attention to.
"The top motivation driving this [is] fear ... the justification for taking this extreme measure was pointed directly at China," explained Glenn at the chalkboard today. "Crisis creates opportunity. The government is using that opportunity once again to stage an invasion on an industry that has made more technological breakthroughs in the past 20 years, specifically due to its competitive nature."

For quite a while, Cam Lewis has been dismissed as something of a 'cowboy' who has just been winging it with 'Team Adventure'. That may be true, but in the last 10 days or so - when the problems have been the biggest - he's been standing tall and doing himself proud. First there was the problem with the main beam and the two injured crew that couldn't continue. Then there was the two-day repair stop in Cape Town that stretched to 4.5 days. And during that time two of the healthy crew bailed. Now that 'Team Adventure' has finally left Cape Town, minus four crew, they're stuck in zephyrs and can't get away from the shadow of Table Mountain. Yet just 50 miles away they'll be hitting headwinds of 55 to 65 knots, with huge, confused seas. Throughout all these tribulations, Cam has - at least in public - said the right things and done the right things. Despite finding himself 3,000 miles behind and with everything against him, he's rallied his crew and hasn't abandoned hope. "When we hoist sails and pursue the odds are against us to win. But, the odds have been against us for a long time," said Cam, "So we are going to forget the odds and get down the track." With his responses to constant adversity, Cam is quickly earning a lot of respect that he didn't have before.
Meanwhile, Grant Dalton and 'Club Med' stretched their lead over Cam to 3,000 miles by racking up 584 miles during the last 24 hours. That's good, but Loïck Peyron and 'Innovation Explorer' chalked up an even better 599 miles, and have steadily been cutting 'Club Med's lead down to 600 miles. Peyron and his crew may not have all the sails they need, but they're putting up a great battle. Right now 'Club Med' is about two days faster than the Jules Verne course record held by Olivier de Kersauson's big trimaran 'Lyonnaise des Eaux'.
What's the story with the two crew who bailed from 'Team Adventure'? One of them, Rick Deppe, is a seasoned offshore racer who has done 1.5 Whitbread Around The World races. In an interview with the 'Washington Post', he said sailing all the way to the Southern Ocean was fine, but once down there he was over his threshold. "I was never comfortable speeding through the night, dodging icebergs in the Southern Ocean at 25 to 30 knots on a 110-foot catamaran. We were down there 48 hours, and I kept saying, 'Get me off this boat. I hate water, I hate water'." When damage to the main beam gave Deppe, who has two young children, the chance to get off the boat, he took it.

As they close in on the doldrums, Michel Desjoyeaux on 'PRB' holds an 86-mile lead over Ellen MacArthur aboard 'Kingfisher'. MacArthur had gotten to within 70 miles, fell back to nearly 100, but has closed the gap a little again. Both boats are making good time heading for the tricky doldrums, where everything could change dramatically.
Last night, MacArthur's wind instrument sensor atop the mast failed, so she switched to the backup system on the stern of her boat. It was getting the job done, so Ellen went aloft with a drill and sandpaper to make repairs. She was up there for two hours. "It was pretty physical," she reported, "I had a bit of a fight with the drill which, as we bounced over the waves, was pretty keen on drilling me not the mast, but we got it done. Quite a neat job in fact considering the conditions of work! I completely replaced the masthead wand unit, and we're back to 100% again. Fantastic!"

This reminds us of the time we sent a guy aloft to replace a halyard on 'Profligate' during the last Ha-Ha. The wind was light and there was only a slight slop - and it was still a difficult job just to replace a halyard. And that was with the help of a full crew. We don't think that any of us can really appreciate what almost supra-human efforts each one of these Vendée participants is making. See http://www.vendeeglobe.com/ for more.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited U.S. National Park. Being from Kentucky (near Cincinnati), it's only a 4.5 hour drive, so I've traveled here on many different occasions over the years. This was the first time I visited with my young son though! We stayed at Yourcation Awaits cabin in Pigeon Forge, and had such a fun family vacation! With a toddler in our crew, our goal was to seek out…

Living just a few hours away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I've visited Gatlinburg, Tennessee at least twenty times. Thinking back on all these ventures, I've compiled my personal recommendations on the top things to do! These activities may all fit into one Gatlinburg trip, or you can spread them out over separate visits. I've gone down there for Bachelorette parties, with my family growing up, on my honeymoon, and for a college…

Winter 2006/2007
In December 2006 we bought a pregnant, registered, pure-bred Saanen doe and a Nigerian Dwarf wether. Nettie, the Saanen, came from a very nice local gal who raised Saanens for commercial milk. She's no longer in the goat business, which is a shame as the bucks she had were great sires & gave us beautiful kids. She raises dairy cows now if I'm correct. Last time we saw her she was chucking a big 'ole rock at one of her cantankerous cows. The wether, which Paul named Chop Suey, came from another local lady. Here are pics of Nettie & Suey their first day at our place. The goats went into the shed we originally built for the chickens & we put up electric fence around about ¾ of an acre around the shed for them to roam & browse.
Nettie kidded on Easter Sunday 2007 with our first goat baby, a female named Ishtar. We knew her due date was coming up, so for the week beforehand I was checking on her day & night, sometimes even napping out in the barn. It was our first time being midwives to a farm animal & I thought we did pretty well. Nettie has kidded four times now, so I'm more aware of the signs of impending labor and don't have to nap in the cold barn. Although I do use a baby monitor now. Wish I thought of that before.
We still have Nettie's first kid, Ishtar, and her third & forth doe kids. The three male kids she gave us are (or will soon be) going to be in the freezer for our dinner table. We also adopted a Nigerian Dwarf buck, Pan, from a friend of ours who was moving out of state. So we're up to eight goats right now; one buck, one freezer goat, one wether, three does & two doelings. Getting a bit crowded around here.

The weather folklore of St. Swithin's Day3 min read
Originally written on July 15, 2021. Updated 2023
What's the weather doing outside your window today?
July 15th is St. Swithin's Day and, according to an ancient tradition, if it rains on this day, it will rain for the next 40 days.
In short, the story began in the year 971, when the bones of St Swithin (who had died over 100 years before) were moved to a special shrine at Winchester Cathedral, and there was a terrific storm that lasted for 40 days.
And People said that the saint in heaven was weeping because his bones had been moved.
Well…but who Was St. Swithin?
Very little is known about him other than from legends. He was a medieval Anglo-Saxon bishop who lived in the 9th century and died as the Bishop of Winchester in 862. He was buried, according to his wishes, outside the walls of the Cathedral, literally "where the rain could fall and comfort him" and "steps of passersby might fall on his grave."
However, over a century later, on July 15, 971, due to an expansion of the Cathedral, his body was removed and placed inside the cathedral, contrary to his wishes.
According to legend, after his body was moved inside, a terrible storm ensued.
Heavy rain stopped the priests from doing their work. They could not resume until the next day, but yet the rain continued for 40 days.
In addition to his role in this old story, St. Swithin is also one of the saints traditionally prayed to during periods of drought.
He was adopted as the patron saint of Winchester, and in the 12th century the popular doggerel was penned:
"If on St. Swithin's Day, ye do rain
for forty days, it will remain.
If on St. Swithin's Day, it be fair
For forty days, t'will rain no more."
I don't know is there any truth to it.
Like many folklore sayings, the St. Swithin's Day legend has been passed down from generations.
And as far as record-keeping goes back, there hasn't been rain (or sun) for 40 days following the weather on St. Swithin's Day that historians can locate.
But try to imagine: if the thought of 40 days of rain isn't likely very appealing to most modern vacationers, chances are, it doesn't sound too bad to those experiencing drought conditions.
