There is currently no glass recycling collection for tenemental and high rise properties. Residents can deposit glass at one of the many recycling points across the area. You can find out where your nearest one is on the recycle points page. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
West Dunbartonshire residents are recycling 45% of their waste. Thank you very much. But there is more recycling to do.
As part of the Scottish Government's commitment to recycle 60% of waste by 2020, West Dunbartonshire Council introduced an Alternate Weekly Collection Service in September 2014 to tenemental properties in the Milton, Dumbarton, Vale of Leven, Renton and Balloch areas. The service has been working well and the amount of recycling from tenemental flats has increased. The tenemental householders in Bowling, Old Kilpatrick, Clydebank, Duntocher, Hardgate and Faifley areas will receive the AWC service in February 2015.
From week commencing Monday 2 February 2015, residual grey/green bin collection will move to a fortnightly collection. Residents will still receive a blue bag collection for dry recyclates (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, plastic trays, plastic pots, tins and cans) and a white bag collection for glass bottles and jars from Greenlight in the weeks in between. Residents will also still receive a communal brown food waste bin collection weekly.
All flats should have blue bags, a white bag, a kitchen caddy and a supply of food waste bags for kitchen caddies. If your property does not have any of these items they can be requested through the Waste Aware helpline on 0845 111 0050, by emailing Waste Aware or from the Contact Centre on 01389 738282.
An additional two blue wheelie bins for the back court/garden area of the tenement block for communal use can be requested as detailed above.
We trust that you will support us in our efforts to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. If you have any questions regarding the new collection service please contact us.
All suitable Tenemental households within West Dunbartonshire are supplied with a 50 litre blue bag for the storage of dry recyclates, a 50 litre white bag for glass bottles and jars, a communal 140 litre brown food waste bin and a 240 litre black or green bin for residual (landfill) waste. Householders can request two additional 240 litre blue bins to allow them to recycle more, these bins will be serviced by Greenlight, they will pick them up from the back court area and return them once they have been emptied. Please contact us for additional blue bins or for blue bags, white bags or brown bins.
Residents should be able to place almost all of their recyclable materials in the brown and blue bins so the residual waste bin should only be used for non-recyclable materials.
Ensure that all recyclables are placed within the appropriate containers. Alternatively, excess waste can be taken to one of the Household Waste Recycling Centres or placed in the emptied bin until the next service day. Excess waste will no longer be uplifted.
We will service your green/grey bin, blue bin bag/box every alternate weeks on your normal collection day. The communal brown food waste bin will be serviced every week.
Securely tie non-recyclable waste in bags before putting it into your green or grey bin. Kitchen waste can be wrapped in a single sheet of newspaper or put into a compostable bag before placing in your brown bin. If possible store your bins in a shaded area. Ensure that all bin lids are closed. Vermin problems relating to the Alternate Weekly Collection service have not been reported to the Council since the system was introduced to low rise properties in the area in 2010.
Due to Health and Safety restrictions, bins with open lids will not be emptied. Excess waste such as bags, refuse boxes and bulky items will NOT be collected along with any bins. Excess waste should be taken to the nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Only certain households with larger families (6 or more people in residence), medical waste requirements or several children in nappies may be eligible to apply for a temporary larger or extra landfill bin. For further information please contact Fleet and Waste Services.
Residents of West Dunbartonshire who have difficulty in moving their wheeled bin to the nearest collection point may apply to have an assisted pull-out. Residents have to apply for this service and have their application supported by a GP/Health Worker. An application form can be downloaded or contact 01389 737000 for a form.
It doesn't matter if you do not produce a lot of recyclable waste as you do not need to put the bins out for every collection. Please note if you do not want to participate in the new service your landfill bin will still be collected every two weeks.
Your waste is still being collected weekly but we now collect different materials on alternate weeks. The alternative to this would be a substantial increase in the number of refuse collection vehicles and crews required. This would not only be a major cost to local council tax payers but would also have a significant environmental impact in terms of increased carbon emissions.
If a householder reports that their bin wasn't emptied either because they presented it late or forgot to present it, the collection vehicle will return to empty the bin after it has been reported and when it is convenient. Persistent late presentation of bins is not acceptable. If a bin was missed due to operator oversight, it will be uplifted within 3 working days of it being reported to Fleet and Waste Services. If a bin has been reported as contaminated or overfull of excess waste (i.e. lid open) the bin will not be uplifted and the householder will be required to remedy the situation prior to their next regular uplift.
If you do not have enough capacity for all your waste or recyclates then extra bins can be requested. Contact us to request an extra bin.
The food waste bins are emptied every week, so smells should be kept to a minimum.
We try to repair any damaged bins but will replace recycling bins which cannot be repaired.
45% of your waste is either recycled or composted.

Lightweight Suitcases Compromises
In 2006 the average carry-on suitcase weighed 5kg, in 2010 that became 3.6kg and in 2015 its down to 2.6kg.
But like many things in life finding the best lightweight suitcase is a compromise between size, functionality, type, looks and cost.
IT Suitcases market themselves as the worlds lightest luggage however judge for yourself after you read the Worlds Lightest Suitcase review.
We also looked at 18 lightweight suitcases ranging from basic luggage bags to hard-sided 4-wheel cabin luggage. In Part 1 we look at six of the best lightweight cabin luggage bags. Part 2 compares six well reviewed soft-sided two-wheels suitcases. Part 3 looks at hard-sided 4-wheel lightweight suitcases and in the final part of the review we decide on the best-of-the-best winner. Read on to see if you agree with our decision.
From PART1 Basic Bags: Cabin Max Backpack
- comfortable to carry
- high strength composite nylon bag with padded back
- 3 main zipped compartment, 2 zipped internal compartments
- adjustable shoulder straps, carrying handles, and side adjustable straps …
- the bag tore in two places when packed for the first time
- the dividing fabric between the front and main compartments tore along the stitching on second use
- material is very thin and does not appear to be durable …
See all six contenders in PART 1 of this review.
From PART2 Soft-Sided: 5 Cities Lightweight Wheeled Bag
The 5Cities Lightweight Wheeled Bag has a reasonable NPS figures here at 71. 82% of buyers liked or loved it while 11% disliked or hated it. It is advertised as a 42 litre suitcase but from the measurements of 54cm x 35cm x 19cm its really 35.9 litres. Its the heaviest bag in this group at 2.6 kg which gives it a big 66 grams/litre figure. It comes in a limited range of colours.
- very sturdy and made from hard-wearing polyester material
- two front-facing pockets fastened by dual-zips
- internal luggage straps to keep your items in place …
- falling over spoils an otherwise good case
- having to pay postage to return the item
- one buyer reported their zip was initially very stiff and didn't loosen …
See all six contenders in PART 2 of this review.
From PART3 Hard-Sided: Laptop ABS Hard Cabin Case
The ABS Hard Shell Cabin Case has the second best lightness factor here – 66 grams / litre. It also has the second best NPS score at 84 which is just one point short of the top mark of 85 – almost 9 out of 10 buyers liked or loved it.
- amazing value for money, sturdy solid construction and very lightweight
- sturdy zips & push-button telescopic handle
- built-in combination lock …
- zips inside broke a few days after arrival of the case
- It measures 50x42x21 which is larger than allowed on as hand luggage, the dimensions are even …
See all six contenders in PART 3 of this review.
Suitcase Size
Size in absolute terms this is about height and width and depth.
The suitcase size that fits most (but not all) airline baggage restrictions is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. (Check yours here) That's 44 litres (44L) absolute maximum. No curved edges, no telescopic handles no wheels – all of which eat into that 44 litres. The more litres you have the more room there is to pack your stuff.
Always remember, when it comes to airlines restrictions the size includes handles and wheels.
Soft-sided Suitcases and Hard-sided Suitcases
Suitcases are basically hard-sided or soft-sided although there are a few hybrids. Soft-sided suitcases are generally lighter, less robust but can be squeezed into tight spaces in overhead bins on the plane. Hard-sided suitcases are more robust, provide more protection for your stuff but are less flexible.
There's often a perception that hard-sided suitcases are more durable than soft-sided suitcases. However, lab testing of suitcases over a number of years has proven this isn't necessarily the case. Results show that the best suitcases for durability can be either soft or hard-sided.
Here are some pros and cons of each suitcase type to help you make a decision on which is the best lightweight suitcase for you.
- Flexible fabric makes them comparatively easy to store
- Many are expandable to increase suitcase capacity
- Generally lighter than hard-sided suitcases
- Often cheaper than like-for-like hard-sided suitcases
- Fabric can be less water resistant compared with hard suitcases
- Fragile items may have less protection
- Can be perceived by some travellers as less stylish
See examples of small soft-sided suitcases under £50 (50%OFF)
- Can offer greater protection to fragile items
- Tends to be more water resistant
- Increasing number of lightweight options available
- Perceived to be more stylish by some travellers
- Glossy finish of some suitcases may scratch
- Fewer expandable cases
- Non-flexible exterior can make them trickier to store
- Typically more expensive than soft-sided cases
See a selection of 50% OFF small hard-sided suitcases under £50
Suitcase functionality is about things like
- organisation inside the case
- outside pockets for quick and easy access
- wheels for easy transport and manoeuvrability
- lockable zippers
- integral TSA locks
See examples of small expandable suitcases with TSA locks
Looks and Cost
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so you'll know what you like.
As for cost, only you can decide how much of your hard earned cash you want to spend. But always consider whether you want to spend a little extra for a quality product with a good guarantee that will last a few years or one that you don't mind if it falls apart after a couple of trips.
Check out these reductions in a price range that may suit you.
50% Off & under £2550% OFF & £25 – £5040% OFF & £50 – £7533% OFF & £75- £100
With more and more travellers opting for ravelling light taking only a single cabin luggage item lightweight is the key factor. We carried out a further and broader test of lightweight suitcases focussing just on cabin luggage. This review covers "disposable suitcases" costing less than £10 through two wheels, four wheels and finally selecting an ultimate best-of-the-best overall winner. Check it out. It might surprise you.

Not as crazy as it sounds.
This seems a logical, if surprising, extension…
Following its decision to offer customers free, unconditional Skype calls on all its tariffs the company has now taken the next step with 'Sim Zero'. Taking the concept of "free" to a rather impressive extreme, you'll get a free sim plus no monthly charge for:
- Free Skype-to-Skype calls
- Free Windows Live Messenger use
- Free voicemail in the UK
- 20p per minute for all standard calls
- 10p per text
- 30p per MB of data
- One month minimum term then one month's notice to cancel
"We want to challenge the market and change mobile forever, that's why we are offering a UK first – a contract that costs nothing but gives you free calls forever with Skype," said 3 head of Pay Monthly Andy Nuttall. "Customers can come to us, and when they're at home in the UK they'll never have to pay for a call or instant message to anyone else on Skype anywhere in the world."
In fairness it's a hard tariff to argue against – unless you're dead set against 3 – and arming it with either the Skypephone S2 or INQ1 (£69.99 apiece) would seem a smart recession-friendly move.
Any other networks want to embrace Skype? Nah, didn't think so…

Part 5: The Ravinia Approach -- Finding Hidden Value
When we sell a company, we aim to sell it for the best value possible, not necessarily in the fastest time frame. That surprises our clients, especially when they realize that we are willing to stick with them while they work to increase the value of their company, which can take months or sometimes years before we go to market. We do this because it's what's best for our client.
So how do we get companies to become a better version of themselves?
The first thing is to understand the objectives of the sellers, followed by a deep dive into the company and its industry to understand what it is like now, and what it could be like in the future. We ask what will enhance the sale and what will detract from it? What will the buyer see when they look it? What are its strengths and weaknesses? If the company has three profitable plants, but the fourth is losing money, should it shut down before the company goes to market?
Early in the process, we usually bring in a third party accounting firm to do a complete analysis and quality of earnings of our client and prepare an objective, independent report that reflects a thorough diligence of the company. We know buyers will do that later during exclusivity, when it could be a problem; anything not disclosed could be used against the seller during the negotiations process.
We also know that frequently buyers want to see a pathway to growth. Since the price will be based off the stream of future cash flows, we work with our client to create a plan that details how that growth can be achieved. We also help the seller codify its way of doing business to make it a plug and play for the buyer, an especially important item if the buyer is looking for a franchise opportunity.
As we work exhaustively with our client, we always keep in mind that middle market companies have very few buffers. They are not big enough to have brands that can withstand huge bumps in the road, they often rely on a few critical customers and they can be subjected to lots of shock waves. It's important to remember that the sale of the company and our desire to see the best possible value may be a time versus money question. We can make the case that by making a few changes over the course of several months we can generate a better price. However, time has its own cost. There's a black box of things out there that we can't even anticipate that can negatively affect the deal. And sometimes, the world can change on a dime.
Whatever we do, it is not a cookie cutter approach; everything has to be tailored to our client. We also have to find that balance between the seller's directions and the knowledge we bring based on experience and success. Sometimes – even against our best counsel – we may do what the seller wants and then let the idea fall on its own sword. Regardless, we stick with our client until we are able to get to a satisfactory conclusion for them.
Write back and let me know how you find hidden value in your clients.

The casualty insurance company was facing a large flow of fraudulent claims. The client was compelled to spend a lot of time and money in order to evaluate claims in terms of credibility. The company was in need of an effective software solution that would detect fraudulent claims more precisely.
Azati introduced a system of machine learning and analysis, that detects fraud with high accuracy.
At a first step, the system analyzes large volume of previously processed claims. By structuring primarily disparate information and revealing connections between multiple factors, the system identifies patterns of fraud.
Then, based on this analysis, it assesses new claims. The claims regarded by the system as fraudulent, are therefore handed over to human specialists for further investigation, along with a descriptive explanation on why it is considered to be fraudulent.
The introduction of cognitive technologies into the work of the insurance company allowed the latter to optimize its business processes and detect fraudulent cases 3 times more accurately than before.
Implementing a cognitive system proves to be an efficient way to detect fraudulent claims in virtue of:
- fraudulent claims are detected with greater precision
- the huge amount of data is processed in a relatively short period of time
- the system reveals connections between a great number of diverse factors, which can be imperceptible for a person
- by the permanent review of existing claims, the program is able to discover new schemes of fraud
- Business Analysis
- Java
- Oracle
- AngularJS
- Machine Learning

Imagine a little girl reading her book intensely. While she reads, she can tune out everything around her. She reads under her covers with a flashlight. She reads in her bath. She walks on the street reading her book, likely bumping against a pedestrian. She spends every extra dime she has on books. She is never without a book or two in her bag. She would like to read at the dinner table if her parents let her. She reads on her commutes. She needs to read to fall asleep. She travels aboard the Pequod in her mind. She learns about the British period lifestyle from PG Wodehouse and Jeeves. She is Tess. She is Kate Chopin. She is Scarlett O'Hara. She is Francie. She is Portia. She is Lady Macbeth. She dreams about them. She is Kafka. She is Sisyphus. She is Emma. She is Harry Potter. She is Flannery O'Connor with her peacocks. She reads biographies of her favorite authors. She reads fictionalized accounts of historic events and characters. She reads advice on writing by authors because she wants to write like them. Inspired by Edith Wharton, she imagines living in New York City. She lusts for solitude like the heroines in Barbara Pym books. She learned about racism from 'To Kill a Mocking Bird.' She hosts imaginary tea parties with her friends from the Mad Hatter's world.
Most people I know will react to this girl with an automatic approving and wistful smile. How bright! How intelligent! How curious! How gifted! I was that girl.
Imagine a kid playing a Legend of Zelda game with the same intensity. He begs his parents to let him take his portable game to bed. He walks around with his Nintendo DS and bumps into people. She becomes the character and is immersed in the game. He is Link in the Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess. He fights for his survival in 'Don't Starve'. She is an architect while playing Minecraft. She knows the statistics of all the top competitive players by heart. She follows gameplays on YouTube. She can critique a game on different dimensions: game play, art work, and narrative. He has friends all over the world who share his passion. They play together and spend hours teaching each other how to build a TARDIS on their minecraft server, how to beat the hardest, final boss. They team up and cheer each other on League of Legends. They support and protect each other and take joy in their friends' accomplishments. This is my son and his gamer friends.
How do people react to gamers who are as passionate about games as book lovers are about books? Negative, prejudiced and stereotyped. It is almost a fashion to bash gamer children and their irresponsible parents who are bad for letting their children be glued to the screen.
Here is the truth. I have an avid gamer child, one who has spent hundreds of hours on gaming. He has no limits on how many hours he can play his video games. I am as proud of him for his gaming accomplishments as much for his other brilliant achievements. He has the persistence and passion to spend countless hours on Minecraft imagining and creating a number of worlds with his friends. He has personally built about five functional Minecraft servers that he shares with his friends to play. Seven if you count the ones that he thinks were easy because he used plug-ins in the early stage when he was still learning to build a server. He has been immersed in a series of Legend of Zelda games for years. He has spent 76 hours of the 120 required to complete the Final Fantasy VII. He has won 156 games on League of Legends. He has completed all the Level 99 characters on Bravery Default. He successfully EV trained a full team of Level 100 Pokemon in Pokemon Y. He has traded on Team Fortress 2, even maintaining a spreadsheet to track his investments. Actually, he does much better than our Wallstreet bankers who landed us in a mess. He is judicious about his investments and has an enviable capacity for delayed gratification.
This stigmatizing of gaming is ridiculous given how many successful people are gamers. Robin Williams, Mila Kunis, Jack Black, Olivia Munn among others. In our success/celebrity worshipping culture, one would think it would matter. Satoru Iwata, a legendary CEO of the gaming company Nintendo (who passed away recently) famously said, "On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." Chris Melissings, a former senior executive curated the Art of Video Games exhibit in the holiest and gloriest of grails, the Smithsonian. In weeks, gamers have solved science puzzles that have baffled scientists for years. Scientists from various disciplines are reaching out to gamer communities to get them involved in citizen science projects. Even with all this evidence, our society and mainstream media still demonizes gamers and gaming.
My son is also talented and passionate about many other things. When he could tear himself away from his addiction to video games (sarcasm alert), he has done a lot of other interesting things. He has maintained a blog for over three years now. Yes, he started blogging when he was not even ten. His readership is from all over the world except the totalitarian countries such as North Korea and China. He published his first book when he was just 11. He held his first solo art show when he was 11. He painted a gorgeous mural on his bedroom when he could tear himself from his addiction. He has been taking college level courses in Neurobiology, History, and Physics and aced them all from the time he was not even 11. He would like to build a prosthetic/electronic brain to help people with brain injury. He has the sense of humor to propose building a robotic prefrontal cortex for teens. He decided that he wanted to learn to play jazz piano and has been pursuing his practice the same way he plays his video games, with passion and persistence. Regardless of our travel and what time we return home, he always finishes his music homework in time for his lesson. He loves to swim and surf. He loves to hang with his friends and eat frozen yogurt. Just like any other teen! When he is not playing video games, he writes about them. He participated in three Lego League Robotics competitions in consecutive years and won various awards every year. He loves his dogs and takes care of them. He is a thoughtful, kind, compassionate young man who lends through Kiva. He is well-traveled and even to places that did not have an internet connection. Yes, he is addicted to his screen.
Even if he hadn't accomplished all these things, I would still be proud of him for his kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness, loyalty, curiosity, persistence, and passion.
He loves to spend time with his family. He is not isolated from us. In fact, every game he wins or loses, the first person he shares and critiques with is me, his 'mother'. No, not all teen gamers want to run away from their family, wear black, and start shooting at strangers. He loves his extended family and is close to his cousins. Contrary to my son, I was a book lover disconnected from my immediate world. My reading was escapism. Being a round peg in a a square hole all my childhood, books provided a comforting space where different types of people in different types of culture became my friends, confidants, philosophers, and guides. As an adult, I have had to learn to connect with my family of origin more deeply, openly, and authentically. When you characterize gaming negatively as an addiction, remind yourself that the opposite of addiction is connection. If you see a child who is gaming, connect with them. Engage with their passion as you would engage with a child who is pursuing passions approved by the society. Get to know them and then tell me that a gamer child is disconnected, antisocial, and a danger to the civil society.

I learned the other day that ending a text message with a period can be interpreted as insincere. Such a simple, innocuous dot now carries more hidden messages than it was ever intended to convey.
Likewise, the messages we think we're sending in our classrooms may not be the messages received by students. Consider these…
Time WILL pass, will YOU? Does this imply a nurturing, supportive environment that believes ALL students deserve every opportunity to be successful? I'm not so sure.
Students not paying attention in class? Lock up devices. Does this show trust? Relationship building? I wonder if the teacher's device is locked up during meetings as well.
Or how about this sign I saw in a classroom: "Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise." A companion sign read, "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." Does this mean we don't value collaboration? Team work? I wonder how Edison and Einstein would have fared had they been forced to work in silence.
When I attended Project Zero at Harvard University, I went through an exercise called Parts – Purposes – Complexities. The simplified steps are:
Choose an object or system and ask:
- What are its parts?
What are its various pieces or components?
- What are its purposes?
What are the purposes for each of these parts?
- What are its complexities?
How is it complicated in its parts and purposes,
the relationship between the two, or in other ways?

Chelsea & Jordan
I got to visit my friend Chelsea and her husband recently in their new home in Lower Alabama and made a trip to the beach for a day... who doesn't need a little sunshine & sand in mid-January? We ate great seafood in Seaside and headed over to Grayton for our shoot. I love the simplicity of these images and the story they tell. And most of all, I loved having a chance to see my friend newly MARRIED and spend time with Chelsea & Jordan in their space.

Episode 41 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Mark Logan from Artillery to discuss his experience building a game engine in Javascript and C++!
CppCast Episode 41: Game Development with C++ and Javascript with Mark Logan
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Mark started learning C++ with Borland Turbo C++ in high school, so that he could build video games. After 20 years, he's finally starting to feel like he knows what he's doing.

Local Directory Submission Service - 5 Things to Consider Before Choosing Your Service Provider
Google is not the only online portal where people look for information on local services. In fact, quite a number of people rely on online yellow pages business listings to find a required local service.
In the wake of modern marketing and advertising strategies, business owners tend to neglect old methods. However, the use of both online and offline business directories have proven to be highly effective as a marketing and advertising strategy.
Is your Business Listed Online?
Recent studies conducted by the Local Search Association show that 8 out of 10 people use directories while looking for a product or company. It has also been proved that businesses that are listed either on online directories or print directories show a definite increase in sales.
Won't you want the same for your business?
Nevertheless, it is important for business owners to remember that getting their business listed is not only about your business getting a mention on any Local Business Directory. Making sure you choose the right Business Listing Services is equally important as this acts as a tool for online business promotion.
Do you have a Reliable Online Business Listings Service Provider?
It is important to choose a Local Directory Submission Service that is locally relied on. For example, if your business is located in Australia, you can look for a reliable Australian Business Directory. However, whether you're looking for a Canadian Business Directory or a Free Business Listing Services, it is important to take note of what you are being offered by listing your business with a particular service provider.
What Should You Consider Before Listing Your Business Online with a Directory?
1. An Error Free Job
It is important to choose an online business listings service provider that will do an error free job because any errors made with your NAP (name, address and phone) and also with a description of your business can ultimately lead your business to suffer. NAP consistency checkups are also conducted by reliable business directories.
2. Timely Updates
In the course of your business operations, you might change your address, phone number or even add or take off a few services / products you offer. Your local business directory should offer you the option of updating your details from time to time.
3. Citation Building
In the process of Local Business Directory Submission, citations are created locally for your business through local citation building. This can prove highly beneficial to your business when a potential customer is running a local search online for a similar service.
4. High Traffic Volume
When you list your business with a directory that enjoys high traffic volume and has a high Google Page Rank, it is very likely that your business listing will rank higher in Google's Search Results Page. This is beneficial to your business and can drive up sales.
5. Complete Reporting
Once the local citation building job has been completed, a reliable service provider will offer you a detailed report taking into account every aspect of the job. A well informed report can help your business make necessary amends.
In addition to the above factors, it is also good to consider whether you are being offered a personalized service with cost effectiveness and a social networking link.

Tuesday 29th May 1984
Woke up at 9.00 and got up at 10.15. Then I went down for Doug and we came back to my house. After making two packed lunches we got on our bikes and went to the mud track, where we ate our packed lunches. Then we had a climb on the tree, and also had a muck on on the tarzie.
Then mam came with Poggy Doggy, and when she'd gone we went to the Doctor's and rode down the steps. We went to my house then, and cooled down with a milk shake. Then we went on the Meadowings for a ride down the steps, and after that we both went home and I had tea.
Then we took Cat to the vets because he was all bloated, but there wasn't really much wrong with him. When we came back at 8.00 I watched Morecambe and Wise, then at 8.30 I watched Sorry. At 9.00 I watched The young ones, and went to bed at 9.30.
A bakingly hot day. A brilliant, blinding white, sweat-dripping, sun-baked adventure. The tarmac was melting on the pavements, girls (and some boys) were wearing 'Frankie Say' T-Shirts and cut-off stonewashed jeans, the hedgerows were full of lolly sticks (with jokes) and the roads did that weird, shimmery, mirage thing twenty yards ahead of us as we cycled towards the mud track, and adventure.
I still remember the fantastic feeling of independence that making our own packed lunches gave us. I'm sure we made a bloody awful mess in the kitchen, with bits of Mothers Pride bread and egg and Stork SB everywhere, but the prospect of cycling out of our drive for the day with two Hinton's carrier bags of mouldering 'bait' (and a Wagon Wheel) dangling from our wrists was thrilling beyond compare.
And the 'mud track' was in full bloom as well. The tiny playpark with its swings and slide and excitingly high Tarzie seemed to have erupted overnight into a riot of daisies, daffodils and grass so lushly tall and green that Glenn Henman, our school's resident Growth Hormone guinea pig, would never have made it from one side to the other without a pith helmet and a machete. We ate our 'packies' (I know, and it didn't even occur to us…) on the swings, then both of us worked off a bit of tatrazine by scaling the groaning, wheezing tree in the centre of the park – full of the joys of life and determined to celebrate our new-found independence.
Although hands up who thinks my mother deliberately came down to check that we HAD actually gone where we said we were going?
Good to see us indulging in our new-found hobby of 'Boneshaking' again… getting our bikes up to full pelt and then turning a sharp corner to cycle down the steepest, hardest, most concrete-iest flights of steps we could find. Clearly after having exhausted every possible thrillseeking opportunity outside the Doctor's surgery, we turned our attentions to the endless, almost vertical expanses of stone steps that punctuated the nearby Meadowings housing estate. I've walked through there recently, and it looks like a Maurice Escher drawing but with satellite dishes.
And we 'cooled down with a milk shake'… Yeah, right. In our kitchen was a cheap and cheeful food blender from Argos, and I'd discovered that if I stole a big block of ice cream from the freezer and whisked it up in the blender, the resulting glassful of lurid, freezing sludge was the perfect pick-me-up for two 11-year-old boys visibly flagging because they hadn't had any sugar or artifical colourants for well over three hours by this stage. Mmmmm!
(This was pre-sexy ice cream, by the way… not the modern, nutty, fruity stuff that comes in plastic bowls with little twirls and whirls all over it. These were giant, solid slabs of brightly-coloured frozen glop, housed in cardboard that was occasionally so difficult to remove that it regularly just got incorporated as part of the dessert. After close examination, I've concluded that Darth Vader uses the Neopolitan variety to freeze Han Solo for his trip to Tatooine in The Empire Strikes Back)
And the cat! Our poor cat, Sooty. Here he is, looking deeply suspicious of the nasty nine-year-old oik forcing him to pose for a picture…
He waddled painfully into the front room in the middle of our tea, forcing my Dad to stop dead in mid-bite of a relieved Findus Fishfinger. 'Bloody hell, what's happened to that thing?' he gasped. 'He's the size of a bloody football…'
And he was. In fact, poor Sooty looked like he'd had an Espana '82 World Cup football violently inserted into his innards, with his tiny legs and tail hanging pathetically in mid-air. Our tea plates were hastily cleared away and he was quickly raced to Whimpster's Veterinary Surgery in Stokesley, where the splendidly be-quiffed Mr Whimpster prodded him with a gentle finger.
'The blockage is definitely in his stomach,' he mused. 'Have you been feeding him more regularly than you normally would?'
We shook our heads, nervously.
'I think we should give him 24 hours and see if it passes through…' he smiled. 'I'm pretty sure there's nothing seriously wrong…'
And indeed there wasn't. When we got home, the Cat sloped off to his usual sunbathing spot on top of our dusty old coal bunker. And my Dad, pottering around the garden, found the scant remains of two enormous pigeons beneath the front room window, a pathetic bundle of beaks, feathers and bones clearly very recently picked clean by, we decided, the GREEDIEST BLOODY CAT IN THE WORLD.
Anyway, a cracking night of TV… 'Morecambe and Wise' was undoubtedly a special tribute to the late, great Eric Morecambe (see yesterday's entry), 'Sorry!' will have been great fun as ever, and 'The Young Ones' was back, after a fortnights gap (anyone know why?) with the boys acquiring a video recorder and running foul of Alexei Sayle's South African vampire (and Rumbelow's store manager) Harry The Bastard…
Oh, have we got a video?

text: This challenge is nearly halfway over and I'm so glad. You guys, this week has sucked because the weather's been too hot to wear what I'd planned out. Day 9 I wore tights and sweltered {is that actually a word?} .. the other days I switched up what I'd had planned for less layery outfits {thus boring}. I really like number 9 {Maroon tights} and 13 {the dress-turned-skirt one}. The rest are blah.

For those of you that have been following this page for a while, you probably know how passionate (fanatical, lol) I am about diabetes. As you can imagine, when I hear stories about people reversing their diabetes with a healthy low carb / keto lifestyle, I get super excited. And, if they also lose weight it is even more inspiring, it is life changing.
Through social media, I have come to know many people with these experiences. I have decided to start sharing some of these on my page to help people understand just what is possible with this way of living.
This is my friend Bill. I met Bill some time ago in a Facebook group called Reversing Diabetes (HERE) where he has helped many others on their path to adopt a low carb lifestyle. Bill was kind enough to take his time to let me "interview" him about his experience.
Q: How many years ago were you diagnosed with diabetes?
A: I was diagnosed just over two years ago, in September of 2014 as Type 2.
Q: What was your highest A1c, if you know it?
A: My A1C at the time of diagnosis was 9.7.
Q: What medications, if any, were you taking?
A: I was put on Metformin 500mg twice daily. I was on 20mg of Atenolol at the time, and I was on Protonix and Zantac 150 for acid reflux. I was also taking Gaviscon and Tums on a regular basis. Three months after starting keto I stopped ALL of my medications.
Q: What made you decide to change from standard dietary recommendations for diabetes?
A: Within a few days of being diagnosed I started looking for help online, and like most newly diagnosed diabetics I went to the ADA page. A friend of mine from a Sleep Apnea group I am in added me to a keto group who's focus is reversing diabetes with a ketogenic diet. After reading what was being posted in that group I became more and more interested. Of course I was skeptical, but I kept reading. Finally, it all made sense to me after watching Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off by Bob Briggs (Video HERE). Bob was my inspiration. (Read Bill's full story HERE.)
Q: How long have you been living a healthy low carb / keto, whole food way of eating?
A: I started dabbling in low carb eating in September of 2014, but in the first few months I did have some slip ups. However, after one huge slip up which caused my blood sugar to skyrocket, and caused me to feel very sick for a day or so I buckled down and committed to keto 100%. I have been completely faithful since January 2nd, 2015. Absolutely no cheats whatsoever since that day.
Q: How has your medication regimen changed as a result of applying this lifestyle change?
A: I was able to stop all medications. I am currently not taking anything at all.
Q: How do you feel living this way versus how you felt on the standard diet for diabetes?
A: Well, I didn't follow the standard diet for diabetes for very long, but I do know I feel better than I have in 20 years!
Q: What is your most recent A1c?
A: My most recent A1c in July of 2016 was 4.9.
Q: What other health benefits have you experienced from living this way?
A: I've lost 114 lbs now! Not only that, but I have the energy to be physically active, which is something I haven't had in a very long time. My mood is also better. I firmly believe carbs and sugars contributed to extreme moodiness and caused me to not be the person I should be. Since switching to the ketogenic way of life I am calmer and much more patient now.
Q: Anything else you would like to share?
Based on my personal experience and from the testimonies of many other people living the ketogenic way of life I believe this is the healthiest way for anyone to eat, not just diabetics. This way of eating has changed so many lives for the better, and it is my hope many more people will get to experience this for themselves.
Thank you so much Bill for taking the time to share your amazing story! I know it has inspired so many and will continue to do so!
If you know someone who is pre-diabetic or diabetic, please share this with them.
If you have a diabetes success story to share, please message me through the contact page. I would love to hear and share it!

Are you MADE in the CSU?
Pizza with the Presidents, featuring University President Michael J. Ortiz and ASI President Ismael Souley, took place on Thursday, April 14 in University Quad. The event turnout was a success with students that filled up the surrounding tables to eat their free pizza and students who parked themselves under a shady tree to hear their Presidents answer their questions.
But in effort to help gain the support of students at Cal Poly Pomona, Shelly Bruce, ASI secretary of external affairs, was also in attendance at Pizza with the Presidents promoting the "Made in the CSU" campaign.
The California State Student Association's (CSSA) "Made in the CSU" campaign provides information about the value of the CSU which drives their mission to "maintain and enhance access to an affordable, quality higher education for the people of California, to the California State University."
Bruce, who was elected earlier this year by CSSA as the official Lobby Corps Officer for all 23 of the California State Universities, was tabling at Pizza with the Presidents by providing passersby with letters to local legislators asking for their support with issues arising in the CSU.
To make a pledge with the "Made in the CSU" campaign, visit www.madeinthecsu.com/pledge.php

Fresh Romance is in the air, courtesy of Janelle Asselin. Bendis opens up three old wounds on each hand with Andrea Sorrentino on art in Old Man Logan (Secret Wars) #1 and don't forget about The Endless Dreaming with Sandman: Overture #5 in this week's edition of Triple Shot!
WRITER: Sarah Kuhn, Kate Leth, Sarah Vaughn
ART: Arielle Jovellanos, Sarah Winifred Searle, Sally Jane Thompson
Publication Date: May 27, 2015

As I'm learning in my current comic book class with professor Michael Uslan, Romance Comics as genre came to prominence after the end of World War II.
Everyone hung up their collective capes, and even Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon filled the newsstands with tales of heartbreak, secret crushes and handkerchief hand wringing.
These days, superheroes dominate the scene and the big screen, but former DC Comics editor Jannelle Asselin is resurrecting the genre over at Rosy Press and also utilizing her vast established audience for Kickstarter funding for this special project.
[Read an amazing FOG! interview with Jannelle over here with Stefan Blitz, conducted after the project was funded!]
This inaugural issue of Fresh Romance is an anthology book highlighting 3 separate stories from some of the best talent around. Kate Leth (Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, Edward Scissorhands) starts off with a classic high school tale of locker talk and Mean Girls swagger. I'm most looking forward to the next installment for the twist introduced at the end of these pages.
Upcoming talent Sarah Vaughn (Alex + Ada) goes back to the post-Revolutionary War days for an impending tale of arranged marriage from ye olde tymes. I wasn't expecting to go back to the age of AMC's Turn but it was a nice place to visit and Sarah Winifred Searle's art is divine.
'The Ruby Equation', the final tale by Sarah Kuhn and Sally Jane Thompson was perhaps my favorite. Without spoiling, this was the most comic-booky of the tales. Modern day cupid meets coffee shop barista. Very cute story with more to come.
Congrats on getting the ball rolling—this was a fun book, and I may have been quoted as saying, "I hate stupid love stories because they are stupid".
Yet again, I was wrong.

People urged to give views on A303 Stonehenge consultation
News • Feb 28, 2017 09:57 GMT
Still opportunity for public to have their say on proposals to improve A303 past Stonehenge.
People are being urged to come forward with their views before the A303 Stonehenge consultation ends.
The proposals to improve the A303 past Stonehenge come as part of a major roads package to cut congestion in the south west.
The consultation on the proposals for the Highways England dualling scheme continues until March , with comments welcomes via the scheme consultation website.
Project director Derek Parody said: "The consultation on plans to relieve congestion on the A303 around Stonehenge is ongoing and the feedback we receive from everyone is really important in helping us to develop our proposed option.
"We are delighted with the response so far with more than 2,500 people attending our ten information events.
"The consultation website is still live and we would urge anyone who would like to comment on the proposals to do so before consultation ends on March 5."
The proposed option is that the single carriageway, which currently runs alongside the Stonehenge monument, is moved further away from the stones and put underground in a 1.8 mile dual carriageway tunnel. The proposals will improve journey times for tens of thousands of tourists, commuters, businesses and local people, as well as removing the sight and sound of traffic from this part of the world heritage site.
The Highways England proposals also include a bypass for the village of Winterbourne Stoke and improvements to existing junctions between the A303 and the intersecting A345 and A360 north-south roads.
The upgrade will develop the A303 corridor into a high quality, high performing route linking the M3 in the south east and the M5 in the south west,

Wednesday, March 27
A quick note on sleep, rest and recovery. I am probably the worst offender here, so I'll try to take my own advice, but you need to make sure you are getting the proper rest. Without good, quality sleep and rest you will not recover properly and your progress will slow, stop or reverse. This is a proven fact and isn't up for debate. Your hormones will start get out of balance and you muscles will not recover and grow if you're not sleeping enough or well. Pay attention to how you feel. If you need rest take it. Squeezing in an extra workout will probably hurt more than it helps if you need the rest. Here's another good video on the muscle up and a strength component in the movement that is often forgotten. This could help you if you struggle in the transition.
Workout for Wednesday, March 27 Snatch 15 Minutes to work up to a heavy single
WOD 3 Rounds for time 20 Snatch (75/55) 20 Bar Hop Burpees

Hagåtña in the 1920s
Our mañaina really did it up in the past when it came to religious celebrations.
A news article in the Guam News Letter from June, 1915 talks about the Corpus Christi procession that year.
"The feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated on June 6, 1915 by a solemn procession which was attended by a very large number of people. The Blessed Sacrament was borne by His Lordship the Right Reverend Bishop of Guam, preceded by (the) volunteer Band, who played hymns which were sung by all the people. The houses on both sides of the streets through which the procession passed were adorned with embroideries and colored curtains; and lighted candles were placed in the windows and on the varandahs."
"Along the route of the procession, there were erected four pretty little chapels, constructed of bamboo and palms, and adorned with flowers and religious images. At each of these chapels, the Bishop stopped and the people knelt down while the Blessed Sacrament was incensed."
"The good order of the procession and the fervor with which the Church Hymns were sung, were especially noticeable. This was a source of pleasure and satisfaction to the Very Rev. Bishop, who after the procession expressed his appreciation of this religious enthusiasm."
Pre-War Lånchon Kotpus
Some things to take note of....
- a marching band accompanied the procession
- people sang the hymns from memory (there were no printed hymnals for wide public distribution yet)
- the people sang with fervor
- the houses along the route were decorated, not just the lånchon kotpus (little chapels)
- the people knelt (on the bare earth; streets were not paved yet)
- look at the lånchon kotpus above. No K Mart, no Home Depot. Yet look how elaborately decorated it is.
Our mañaina really had faith back then and knew how to express it. Puts us to shame.

Kell Brook claims he is a "different animal" at middleweight and is relishing pitting his power against Gennady Golovkin's.
IBF world welterweight champion Brook (36-0-KO25) jumped at the chance to face WBA Super, WBC and IBF world middleweight king Golovkin (35-0-KO32) after talks over the Kazakh facing Chris Eubank Jr broke down.
Most expect 'The Special One' to come up short at The O2 on September 10 when he will climb through the ropes and up two weight divisions to take on one of the sport's pound-for-pound kings – but far from being intimidated, Brook is eager for the fists to fly.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "If you ask any of my sparring partners when I get down to that natural weight of 160lbs, I'm a beast. I'm a different animal. When I'm a middleweight in training, I'm a different animal. What it takes for me to get down to 147lbs is really hard. Anyone who knows me will tell you.
"I'm going to be eating very well in this camp and I'm going to be fuelled for the sessions and able to push myself even more. In this fight I'm going to shock a lot of people and if not bigger than Golovkin, already my strength is proving unbelievable. We're getting results already and we've still got weeks to go.
"I'm going to be frightening on fight night. As crazy as it sounds, I'm looking forward to feeling his power. I just can't wait to get in. We're making history in this fight. Nobody at 147lbs will step in with me or if they're talking, they're pricing themselves out.
"I can't wait to test myself because I'm a different kid at a higher weight. I feel so healthy, strong and fit. I'm so excited to see what I can do. We know what we can do in training before we strip down. We're going to shock the world on September 10.
"People saying I won't step up to the plate, you don't get any bigger than this. All these fighters are running away from him and I'm running towards him because I want to show the world what I can do. Every single day, I'm growing with confidence.
"I had to look at my phone twice when I saw the message asking me if I wanted the fight. Of course I want the fight. I want to do what the greats have done in history and be involved in the best fights. You don't get much better than GGG. He's a unified champion with all the belts on the line and I can't wait for that.
"I keep thinking of my idol, Sugar Ray Robinson, because he went in and did it. I'm going to show everyone that I'm not a one-trick pony. It's going to be a war and I'm going to prepare because I need to. I'm in with a man and a middleweight."
Brook has been a world champion since a famous majority decision over Shawn Porter in August 2014 but then struggled to find big-name welterweights prepared to face him. Instead, he stopped a trio of challengers – Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier – inside four, six and two rounds respectively.

China's reforms mean a stronger 'sense of gain' among its people
By Bai Long from People's Daily
China has given its people a "sense of gain" by delivering a range of progressive achievements through increased reforms in many ways over the past five years.
For one thing, it is one of the safest countries in the world, according to the global crime and safety index for 2016, or in the words of two foreigners living here, "China is so safe that I've told my parents that I will stay here for good.".
This comes from a documentary, "Amazing China", which describes the innovations, greening, opening up and inclusiveness China has seen since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), in 2012.
In addition to the social security, China has made steady progress in reforming several sectors that affect people's lives, over the past five years, for instance, from 2014 to 2016, it registered around 13.6 million new enterprises, with an annually increase of 30 percent.
In another example, amount of people's payments for national healthcare dropped from 34.8 percent in 2011 to 28.8 percent in 2016, the lowest level for the past 20 years.
The standard of living, meanwhile, has improved, with annual incomes of both urban and rural people growing by 7.4 percent on average since 2013, practically in line with the country's GDP growth.
China's Gini coefficient, an index for measuring the gap between rich and poor, fell from 0.473 in 2013 to 0.465 in 2016, considerable achievements that reflect a real "sense of gain" among the 1.3 billion people.
President Xi Jinping has pointed out that the real way to measure the results of any reforms are the success of the economy and the feeling of a greater sense of gain among the people. And, it's fair to say that these are a good guide to measure the effects of China's great reform drive over these many years.
According to, The Fourth Revolution: The Global Race to Reinvent the State, written by two editors from The Economist, about 240 million rural Chinese have been able to take part in the country's pension insurance system, in only two years, exceeding the total population under the similar system in the US.
Many foreign politicians and analysts attribute China's dynamic political system and healthy development to this increase in reforms overall, and say it has greatly affected Chinese society and provided a better environment for people to live and develop in.
In the past five years, the country has come up with many measures for eliminating poverty, or for reforming the judicial, finance, taxation, household registration, education, rural land, public hospital, and other systems. These reforms are closely related to people's lives and all have the purpose of boosting that sense of gain among the Chinese.
The true secret of China's developmental vitality is in applying these reforms by constantly considering people's expectations and allowing the reforms to provide the necessary impetus for development.
In those five years, the number of Chinese students returning to the motherland after finishing their studies abroad has increased, bringing the largest wave of returning students in the entire century. At the same time, the number of foreign scientists, engineers, and managers attracted to China has been growing as well.
Those people returning, came back to find the country undergoing real changes, something that can easily be seen in the mobile payments that make shopping easier, shared bicycles that make travel greener and more convenient, and the growth in e-commerce, as well as the expanded high-speed railway network and the Fuxing bullet trains that breeze along at 350 kilometers per hour.
There you have it, a thriving economy, safe living conditions, and more convenient life, all of which are making people more convinced of the positive changes and the new impetus for development resulting from the overall reforms.
