Ross County midfielder Jamie Lindsay is eager to make his third stint in the Championship a short one by helping the Staggies win promotion back to the top-flight.
Lindsay opted to join County on a permanent deal earlier this summer, after impressing during a season-long loan from Celtic last year. He netted two goals in 32 appearances, but was unable to prevent the Dingwall club suffering relegation from the Premiership.
Having previously spent loan stints in the second-tier with Dumbarton and Morton, Lindsay says the opportunity to challenge for top honours this time around made a return to the Highlands appeal.
The 22-year-old said: "We started speaking before last season finished, I obviously didn't know where we were going to be, but I think regardless of what league we were in I would have been here.
"The managers have got a big part to play in me being here. I wasn't wanting to come back to this league, but it's a different opportunity this time.
"My first loan move was Dumbarton, where I couldn't get a kick of the ball and was wondering what was happening.
"I wasn't going to influence the game on the ball, so I needed to find a different way to influence the game, but the move was probably the best thing I ever did because I learned the other side of the game which you need.
"When I was at Dumbarton and Morton we weren't going to win the league, but this has a different feel about it. There's actually a belief and a chance this club can do something this season.
"Saturday was a good start, to get that first win away. There's obviously a long time to go but we just need to get our heads down and work.
"We've got the ability to do it, we need to just focus on trying to get it done."
Lindsay has been encouraged by County's start to the new campaign, ahead of Saturday's trip to Dunfermline, and he added: "We have won four games out of five, with four clean sheets.
"We have started the season as well as we could have hoped for, really. We had a good pre-season, where we played some tough teams.
"We've got five games under our belt now, so hopefully we are getting up to sharpness now. Everybody in the group is feeling good. Obviously winning games is helping.
"We've got our first win now, we've got that out the way. Hopefully we can move on and get another win on Saturday which could put a good marker down for us."

Mimi at The Angeles Project contacted me a few weeks back about her new song, Radio. I listened, liked it, but was just back from vacation, and swamped. I'm still swamped, don't they say no rest for the wicked? Okay, who is they? I'm not wicked, or at least I think I'm not. And what does that have to do with rest?
Anyway, I honestly needed a bit more time with the band's work, a bit more time with everything to be honest. Coming back off vacation feeling 2 weeks behind is exhilarating to some, but for me, I was overwhelmed. Radio is classified as downtempo electropop, but I think one thing that might be missing is that it has this Lynchian Twin Peaks sound about it. Late night cruising through the desert music is a better description if the Twin Peaks vibe isn't there for you.
While Radio was the focus of the e-mail, there is what I consider a stronger song on the band's Soundcloud page, Your Name in Lights. Buoyant and poppy, if I was suddenly whisked back to the 80's, I'd fully expect to hear this on 120 Minutes.

Feds Want to Monitor VoIP
By Deane Barker on July 29, 2003
FBI targets Net phoning: The government wants to start tapping Internet phone calls.
"The new rules are necessary, because terrorists could otherwise frustrate legitimate wiretaps by placing phone calls over the Internet, warns a summary of a July 10 meeting with the FCC that the FBI prepared. 'Broadband networks may ultimately replace narrowband networks,' the summary says. 'This trend offers increasing opportunities for terrorists, spies and criminals to evade lawful electronic surveillance….'"
The Internet has made communications a sieve. If you try to stop it in one place, it will just spring out of another.

The oldest bishop of Russian Orthodox Church died1. September 2008 - 15:36
On Tuesday, August 26, at 94 years old, died the oldest hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, vicar of Moscow diocese, Archbishop Nikolay Ramensky (Sayama).
Archbishop Nikolay (Sayama Dayroku) was born on November 22, 1914. In
1941, he graduated from the Tokyo Theological Seminary, and in 1954
entered the St. Vladimir's Theological Seminary in the United States. Here
in October 1956, he was consecrated to the diaconate, and in November he
was ordained to the priesthood.
Joint Dialogue Commission Meets to Continue Discussion on Unity26. August 2008 - 12:40
The Joint Dialogue Commission of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America and the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese in the Americas met at St. George Cathedral in Southfield, Michigan on Tuesday, August 12, 2008. With the blessing of the Hierarchs, and as directed by their respective Congresses, the Commission met to continue its work on the proposal to establish a Romanian Orthodox Metropolitanate in North America. Three major topics were discussed: (1) the deliberation and decisions of the respective Congresses; (2) reactions to certain public statements made following the Congresses; and (3) the refinement of the Proposal text.
Following the direction of the Congresses, the Commission made further refinements to the text of the Proposal. This, along with the findings of various working committees appointed by our Hierarchs, will form the basis for expanding discussion on the practical aspects of unity.
Master iconographer Miloje Milinkovic to complete St. Sava26. August 2008 - 12:35
Working on a scaffold that rises toward the chapel's ceiling, his brush strokes play gently in the singular light. Above him, below him - in stunning colors and searing hues - his frescos create a union between the undying past and visions of infinity. Miloje Milinkovic is painting heaven on Earth.
Milinkovic is one of the top Serbo-Byzantanic iconographers working today. His skills as a painter have taken him from monasteries in the Ukraine and Greece, to the largest Serbian churches in Chicago, Detroit and Washington D.C. Yet in 1995, in the midst of working on his grand national projects, he also began a relatively small but incredibly important mission - to turn the very first Serbian Orthodox Church in all of North America into a breathtaking work of art. After 12 years of visiting Jackson, his labors within the dazzling sanctuary of St. Sava are nearly complete.
An Orthodox View of Contemporary Economics, Politics, and Culture26. August 2008 - 12:30
In 1967, following two decades of progressively harsher persecution of religion under communist rule, Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha triumphantly declared his nation to be the first atheist state in history. Hoxha, inspired by China's Cultural revolution, proceeded to confiscate mosques, churches, monasteries, and shrines. Many were immediately razed, others turned into machine shops, warehouses, stables, and movie theaters. Parents were forbidden to give their children religious names. Anyone caught with bibles, icons, or religious objects faced long prison sentences. In the south, where the ethnic Greek population was concentrated, villages named after saints were given secular names. For the religious, a long nightmare of persecution and martyrdom was to follow.
Legislation to urge the Government of Turkey to respect the rights and freedoms of the Ecumenical Patriarchate26. August 2008 - 12:23
U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced legislation to urge the Government of Turkey to respect the rights and freedoms of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the Orthodox Christian Church, in accordance with criteria necessary to join the European Union. The Ecumenical Patriarch is the leading figure in the Orthodox Church and has suffered from discriminatory treatment from the Turkish government.
"For a government to treat a revered religious institution and leader in such a discriminatory manner is an affront to human and religious rights and shows disrespect to the hundreds of millions of Orthodox Christians," said Senator Menendez. "There must be fairness and freedom when it comes to the Turkish government's treatment of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. As Turkey appeals to the European Union for membership, I would expect its treatment of the Ecumenical Patriarchate to be a prime topic that must be addressed."
The Russian and Georgian Churches agrees to cure effects of military operations in South Ossetia jointly20. August 2008 - 13:58
The Russian and Georgian Orthodox Churches declared their common peacemaking position and readiness to cooperate in this field.
Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II of All Georgia had a phone talk with chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad.
IOCC Begins Distributions in Tbilisi & North Ossetia20. August 2008 - 13:56
International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) distributed emergency food and hygiene supplies to people who were displaced due to the conflict between Georgian, Russian, and South Ossetian forces. The distribution took place on Thursday in Tbilisi where displaced families took shelter in a school for the blind and in the nearby town of Tskvarichamia. IOCC is also coordinating assistance to refugees in North Ossetia (Russia) in partnership with the Russian Orthodox Church.
"Most people had to flee the fighting in South Ossetia and brought nothing more than the clothes on their backs," said IOCC Georgia Program Manager Darejan Dzotsenidze. The Georgian government and the U.N. are currently registering some 23,000 people who fled the conflict and poured into Tbilisi. Those numbers are expected to increase.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Caitlin and Graeme's Engagement Session
This session was almost cancelled due to weather. The forecast was promising rain and the clouds looked threatening. But instead of rain, we got soft, beautiful fog that added a touch of romance to Caitlin and Graeme's amazing session. Everything about this shoot was so.much.fun. Running through fields, wheel barrow rides, giant woodpiles, jumping in mud puddles barefoot, I mean - it just doesn't get much better than that! I had such a blast photographing such an adorable couple against such a breathtaking rustic Fall backdrop, and I have a ton of favourites to share on the ol' blog this evening! Enjoy. :)

One Room Challenge || Week Five - Playroom
Welcome to Week Five of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! If you missed Week One, Two, Three and Four you can catch up here, here, here, and here. Week five pretty much means we need to wrap this up and take those beloved reveal photos. We are finalizing the room as we speak. Hanging art, styling bookcases (you all know how difficult this is!), fluffing pillows, placing accessories, buying plants and flowers and adding all those special touches that make the room stand out.
After last week's post we had major progress in terms of the wallpaper. First of all, it arrived and it is BEAUTIFUL!! And, second of all, we got it INSTALLED!! It looks so good! I'm really thrilled with the way it looks and with how the room feels with it- cozier, warmer and super chic! My anxiety level has now lowered after seeing it successfully installed as this is a key piece in the room design. The wallpaper needed to work for the room to really pack a punch. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you all the story behind how we got to use this wallpaper in this playroom.
The key piece of this playroom's design is the accent wall, which I wanted to highlight with a really great blue and white wallpaper. This wall is right across from the door you enter as you come into the room so it was the perfect wall to really make an impact. I shared my accent wall idea with Jennifer from The Pink Pagoda (after all, aside from being a friend she is a One Room Challenge Pro. This one is one of my favorites). During this conversation she mentioned she was working on a wallpaper design- currently the first in a series. What?!! Yes! The news could not be more timely or more exciting! So we agreed to collaborate on this project. I would be able to use her first wallpaper design for this playroom. I agreed to use her wallpaper without having yet seen the final design and this is because I was confident in her taste and style and knew anything she created would be totally amazing. And adding to this excitement is that Milton and King would be printing it! The result, we love our hydrangea wallpaper so much! It makes the space and the quality is excellent. The wallpaper sets the tone and makes the room unique and fabulous. The wallpaper is fresh, young, happy and elegant without taking itself too seriously. In other words, it is perfect for this sophisticated playroom for an 11 year-old! (Rumor has it Mr. and Mrs. C. are now hanging out here in the evenings because they love it so much).
The excitement of the wallpaper arriving just in time!-
Let me remind you what the wall we will accent looks like (it is the back wall, which includes the window nook). The corners that go into the window nook are rounded and those corner overhangs are complicated.
But it starts to go up. This guy calls himself the Michelangelo of wallpaper. And after seeing him work his magic through those tough corners and weird overhangs I have to agree. There are some things that should be left to professionals and this was definitely one of them! Even prepping the wall was harder than expected. What we thought would be a morning install took a full day! Looking good right?
It's up and we could not be happier. I ran into Mr. C. the next day and he mentioned a piece of the wallpaper had fallen. I almost died. He was joshing and I almost died of a heart attack!
Below you can see how absolutely perfect the Fabricut Orico Sailboat fabric goes with the wallpaper. It is as if they were a match made in heaven. The shade in the same fabric goes up tomorrow. Talk about a big day!
In the above photo you can appreciate the level of detail in Jennifer's Hydrangea wallpaper. The leaves and petals are just so pretty. It is that perfect balance of intricate and simple that makes the design so beautiful. And I love the floating petals that add that touch of whimsy.
The One Room Challenge Sponsors have been so generous. Thank you so much- Pink Pagoda for letting us use your design, Milton and King for the great quality wallpaper and Fabricut for the beautiful fabrics. I can't wait to see how it all comes together and to show you all next week!

DrupalCon Amsterdam - The Give Back
DrupalCon Austin 2014 is in full swing as of tomorrow, my attendance is restricted to watching live feeds of the keynotes and the session recordings on Drupal Association's Youtube channel ... having not made it to the North American Con (again!)... thought I'd put the little down time between contracts to prepare for DrupalCon Amsterdam, on what I propose to share in two sessions freshly submitted.
Both in the business track; one more a workshop than a traditional session... am quite excited at the prospect of having one if not both selected (fingers crossed). The first one I have proposed is a more indepth version of my 'Practical Agile Product Development' session recently delivered at Drupal Camp Yorkshire.
Its 16 years of experience of delivering products, projects and transformation programs using various flavours of Agile, from James Martin's RAD (Rapid Application Development) for getting products out of the door in their minimum viable form to giving the chaos structure using Dynamic systems development method (DSDM) to falling in love with the simplicity of SCRUM and then the combination of SCRUM and KANBAN: SCRUMBAN.
From the beginning to date the challenge remains selecting which flavour of Agile is best suited for the engagement... and more challenging still occasions when the herd is convinced on not using Agile at all and its my job to swing the Jury in the opposite direction, this happens more so on the non-tech elements of a transformation program than the tech aspects of course.
The second session I have proposed is about getting agencies of all sizes in the community better tooled up to face off Tier 1 & 2 consultancies and systems integrators who are increasingly and rapidly developing their Drupal capabilities given the size and scale of the opportunities in the Enterprise space. What started of as a niche platform has gone mainstream and with it has brought the big full service firms in to Drupalverse, which folks is a great thing for all involved in Drupal, FOSS and Enterprise!
Then there is the wider shift of agencies moving in to digital consulting since many of the Tier 1's have historically lacked the depth agencies have built up over the years in the digital realm. So my second proposed session 'Understanding your prospects, clients, stakeholders (Jury) and end users' is an in depth look at three models, my current favorites; Empathy maps to better understand the actors in your ecosystem, HotHousing an exploration framework that mixes creative design thinking options with agile delivery outcomes, and Jobs-To-Be-Done framework (JTBD) a way to understand customer's needs, motivations and behaviours. All three together are a powerful toolkit for any engagement be it tactics to approach a new prospect, running productive workshops with clients or ascertaining the 'true' needs of end users and facilitating them to articulate them and then co-designing options for fulfilling them.
Fingerscrossed I'll get to share my knowledge and experiences on both Agile and Digital Consulting, however if there could be only one... I'd jump on the opportunity to tool up the community to better understand and engage with their prospects, clients, stakeholders (Jury) and end users.
For the curious this post is called Give back for it is exactly that, back in 2012 in Munich I shared the challenges I was facing bringing peripheral communities into the fold with the global community, who in turn rallied to my aid and between Munich 2012 and Austin 2014 me and a few local hosts have kicked off four 1st ever Camps in 4 cities in two countries and been an inspiration for another two. Sharing what many of my peers in the consulting space prefer to keep to themselves as their magic models, I would like to believe sharing them with the community is my own personal give back, a huge thank you of sorts. Gondor returning the favour to Rohan if that's your thing... or Lannisters paying a debt if you are so inclined!

Happy 2017 everyone! The first week of classes at BSU is nearly finished, and December and the holiday break flew by. I can hardly believe my last post was in November-- oops. This academic year, it's been harder to blog regularly, even though I have tons to write about. But it's a new semester and calendar year, and a new opportunity to stay connected.
Tomorrow is my recital! I'm so thrilled to be working again with the exceptional Ketty Nez, whom I met last year at Ball State's New Music Festival. She flew in from Boston on Wednesday, and we've been rehearsing up a storm. In addition to premiering a viola version of Ketty's work, sea-changes, we are also premiering a "slippery and weird" piece Amelia Kaplan wrote for us. Titled Superviola 3.0, it's completely different than what I'm used to, with all kinds of effects and time signature changes nearly every measure, so it really keeps us on our toes. Even the piano is prepared! There are a lot of very cool (and weird!) sounds going on.
We'll finish the recital on a sombre note, with the Viola Sonata by Dmitri Shostakovich. It is one of my absolute favorite works, and I am so thrilled to be able to share it with you tomorrow evening. Please come out and hear us play! The concert is free, as always, in Sursa Hall at 7:30 PM.
Happy practicing!

J.haas needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 61 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Jaguar Land Rover Academy
Jaguar Land Rover produces high quality automobiles. See http://www.jaguar.com and http://www.landrover.com. In this particular case, we are looking for a new logo for our own "senior management academy/ training institute". This is not a logo contest for a new JLR design!! We need a "linking" logo for the academy. User/ guests in the academy are senior managers/ heads of car dealerships. The "new" academay logo needs to be according to the JLR desing requirements. It should consist of the word mark, e.g. "academy", "Führungskräfteakademie" (german for leadership academy), "leadership academy" and a emblem-style logo/ picture.
The logo will also be used as a signet on official documents, e.g. training certificates. Some tags: future, foresight, leadership, exclusivity, etc.

We Enter Fortnite
Gankstars has signed a PC Fortnite team, recruiting some of the game's top players: Speeedyy, xBal, and Taiovsky. The team is headed by Navron, who led our Paladins PC squad until he decide to make the switch to Fortnite.
Attracted to the teamwork-centric game, Navron conducted tryouts for several weeks, narrowing it down to the best players for the team. "I'm looking forward to pushing my squad further and further each day to see what we can bring to the esports side of the game."
EPIC Games initially released Fortnite on July 25, 2017 as a sandbox survival game, considered by many to be a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. The standalone Fortnite Battle Royale mode was released in September 2017 and has reached 45 million players. The esports scene, although just beginning, is gaining traction rapidly with more and more organizations signing professional players.
We're not the first organization to enter Fortnite, but we are going to work hard until we are the best. Now excuse us; we have some forts to build.

When I was about seven years old, a little girl, close to my age, was killed in an automobile accident. My parents knew her parents, and at the funeral home, my father got tears in his eyes, to think of a child's life ending so soon. I had never seen my dad have such an emotional reaction.
Later that week, I was talking to my dear Aunt Betty, who lived next door. (Aunt Betty and her husband Wayne are pictured below, with two of their three children.)
I asked her how God could let such a young person die. She explained to me that I should think of all the people who die as being like a bouquet of flowers....well, God didn't always want to pick flowers that were wilted, and that God must have wanted a fresh, young flower for his heavenly bouquet. It made perfect sense!
How we miss Aunt Betty's common sense and her words of wisdom!

I honestly do not understand the negative reviews , this was the best conclusion to any story I've ever read. I was expecting disappointment after some of those reviews and was pleasantly surprised . I could not put it down , I love how it wasn't all flowers and rainbows , because true love rarely is. Love comes with all kinds of troubles and will make you stumble time and time again . True love is never easy but the very best things in life never are . Best love story ever...
Very good book, finished it in one sitting and will probably reread it again
Incredible book. Had a little bit of everything. Read it twice and still love reading it. Romance and suspense all in one!
The story was really good, but there were SO many gramatical errors!
I am disappointed with this book. It seemed very rushed and not a whole lot of "story" until the last couple of chapters. Lucy was annoying and unreealistic. Any girl would marry someone like Jude ASAP. I really enjoyed the first two but felt the story could have ended after the second book.
I always find it extremely hard to: A. review a book that I love B. review a book that is part of a series and C. review a book that I LOVE. I guess I'll sit here and use shouty caps and attempt to explain why these books hold a special place in my heart and either you can sit there and listen to me rant OR you can go buy Crash and begin what is sure to be an unforgettable ride! This is the third and final book of Jude and Lucy's trilogy, so, if you have yet to read Crash or Clash (WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?) this may contain some spoilers for those books but I'll make sure not to spoil anything in Crush. Crush is without a doubt my favorite book of the Crash series. Nicole knows how to make her fans fall in love with her characters all over again. We have our fair share of Jude and Lucy drama (and then some), we have our "I'm going to be independent if it kills me" Luce, our "I'm going to take care of you" Jude, and all of the secondary characters that round out their crazy family! As far as sequels go, this is one excellent addition to an already phenomenal series. Before I read Crush I reread Crash and Clash. Revisiting their senior year of High School in Crash and all the crazy drama that occurred, and then their first year of college in Clash, and finally ending with Crush was bliss. It reminded me all over again why I need a Jude Ryder jersey. One thing I will say about Crush is that it is pretty predictable. Nicole gives us what we want and you can kind of see certain things coming, keep in mind these are things that I wanted and things I wouldn't change for anything in the world! She pulls at your heart strings, makes you a wreck, leaves you hanging, and then picks you back up. Ahh, I really loved it and can't wait to sit down and read it again. I love the way she concludes and nicely rounds out so much of the story and not just for Jude and Luce but Holly, Graham, and Little Jude as well. You're still left pondering some things but it's a nice even ending that is fulfilling and just plain perfect. There were so many times that I wanted to slap some sense into both of our main characters, Lucy over the whole admin thing and Jude, well read the book and you'll see. I am a huge Nicole Williams fan and cannot wait to meet her Saturday at the RT book fair! I will no doubt be going crazy with anticipation! If your looking for an emotional and tear jerking series where the books get even better as the story progresses READ THIS ONE. I recommend it ALL the time and have yet to come across anyone who didn't like, love, or absolutely positively worship Nicole's wonderful story. Spread the book love!!
I'm readying some of the book reviews, a few were dated back in march, and I realized that they are talking about a completely different book. The reviews are for the book " The Crush" by C.A. Williams. Just FYI for those who read reviews before buying a book
I loved this book! In my opinion it's the best one in the series
Well written, loved the characters and story line. Highly recommend!!!
I loved the fast pace of this book. It didn't draw the timeline out too much, but still left it hard to put down!
Great ending and the whole series was normal people with normal goals in mind . Loved it highly recommend. .
Great read.
I absolutely loved this book! All 3in the series were great! Couldn't put them down!
WTG Mrs. Williams for another wonderful story! Jude & Lucy's story was a testament to real life. It is not always the easiest road to travel, but worth it in the end.
AMAZING Series! :)
I love this book i wish she wrote more about annalise (the baby) or she should write another book just so we can read more about the baby yu know. But overall i loved this book.
Satisfying End To The Trilogy What I liked: I really like the black and white color schemes of these new covers. It's well written, fast moving and not quite as dramatic as the previous two books. The ending was satisfying and the Epilogue was very sweet and made me ugly cry. *shrugs* I have a soft spot for Epilogues. ;) What left me wanting: This series has definitely "matured" from YA to NA over the course of the three books and the love scenes are explicit at times. Final verdict: Fans of the Crash Trilogy will be happy with how this story ends.
Nice Short (126pgs) Love Story. Had quite a few surprise moments @ the beginning & end so there was love, suspense, & some heartbreaking scenes also!
Her name is leah and i had just met her my eigth grade yr.
The whole series to-die-for, what a wonderful purchase.
So pretty. Loved Lucy and Jude. Collecting my favorites in paperback is underway!
Any one wanna hook up.

This Is Why Charlotte Crosby Thinks It Would Be 'A Joke' To Get Engaged To Stephen Bear Rn
So don't think about popping the question, pal.
Even though Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear are potentially the most loved-up people on the entire planet at the moment, she's not in the least bit as keen at getting a ring on her finger as most people might assume.
While the pair are moving in together, working together (oh hey, Just Tattoo Of Us series 2) and are on great terms with each other families, the former Geordie Shore gal is keen to play their romance down for the time being.
In an interview with New Magazine, Char explained that she doesn't want to see Bear getting down on one knee until at least 2018, which gives them around a year to pop out that much-discussed baby she's been plotting.
"I wouldn't like to think about getting engaged until I've been with Stephen for at least a year and a half" she said, before pointing out that they've actually only been official for around "six months" at the moment.
As for the timeframe on them walking up the aisle, Char revealed that getting hitched to Bear isn't on her radar for "any time soon" but that it's definitely something she can see happening in the future.
Having her fairly brutal say on couples who leap into wedded bliss before properly getting to know each other, she added: "It's a total joke getting engaged or married after six months."
Right. Here's hoping Bear doesn't have a ring burning a hole in his pocket because it's clearly going to take some time for Char to formally accept.

During a visit to Tokyo on Monday, Swiss President Ueli Maurer and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reinforced strong economic relations between their two countries.
Following the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Fukuoka, Japan over the weekend, President Maurer reiterated Switzerland's interest in updating the bilateral Free Trade and Partnership Agreement with Japan, which has been in force for ten years.
According to a government statementexternal link, Maurer and Abe also discussed regional issues during the meeting including the Korean peninsula, China, and Iran as well as opportunities to collaborate on cyber security.
The two heads of state also exchanged views on some of the major challenges facing the global economic and financial system, including digital transformation and sustainable investment – also key themes of the G20 meeting.
At the end of June, the G20 Summitexternal link will be held in Japan - the first time the country plays host.
Taxing in the digital age
During the G20 summit, finance ministers from major economies doubled-down on efforts "to put in place a fairer tax system", including taxing global internet companies more heavily.
By 2020, there are expected to be common rules that close loopholes for tech giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon. Instead of taxing these companies based on their physical presence, specifically where their offices are located, the aim is to tax them based on where they generate revenue.

A change in attitude by the US, which had been blocking negotiations for years, was said to help make some headway towards an agreement.
President Maurer underscored the need for a consensus-based taxation solution and Switzerland's willingness to tax profits where the added value is generated. According to a statement, Switzerland will continue to play an active role in the discussions.

Just 24 per cent of 40 to 79 year-olds receiving professional financial advice are women, new data from Selectapension has revealed.
According to figures from its drawdown and annuity tool, 76 per cent of people within that age group receiving advice were men, highlighting a significant gender advice gap.
Furthermore, the pension provider found that men's pension pots were on average worth £254,900, compared to £175,745 for women.
Selectapension director Peter Bradshaw, said: "Women's financial lives often follow a different path and pace to men's, and more needs to be done to encourage women to take professional advice to include factors such as maternity leave, part-time work and all their assets and investments along the way."
Despite this, the amount of women receiving financial advice has increased in line with men's, with just over 1000 more men and women reaching advice over the last three years.
Last month, research from the Chartered Insurance Institute found that the average pension pot for a woman in the UK is five times less than a man's.
According to the report, Solving women's pension deficit to improve retirement outcomes for all, the deficit is a result of "British social attitude and cultural norms regarding women's status in our society".
A survey by Just Group found that women are more likely to have to retire than men, as 62 per cent were forced into an early retirement and only 20 per cent chose to leave due to sufficient savings.

Whither Twitter?
Silvano D'Agostino
I, like so many of us, love Twitter to death – I use it literally all throughout my waking hours, I have been a true complesionist for a few months, but even before, Twitter had transformed the way I work, and drastically changed the way I interact with the Internet. There was a time, when we all truly loved Twitter, the company, just as much as Twitter, the service. Today, while we still love the service, we fear (for) the company. So… whither Twitter[1]?
Controlling The Product Experience
We all seem to agree clients played a huge role in Twitter's rise to popularity. Ben Thompson made a point on Exponent last week that he understood the strategic policy to dramatically limit third-party apps; and initially I agreed with him. The argument is perfectly reasonable, it's almost the Apple way of thinking: We need to control the full product experience and leave nothing to chance, if we want to be successful. But I put some more thought into this and have now come to a different conclusion. Twitter is not Apple. And Twitter can't and shouldn't control our individual Twitter experiences. In fact, Twitter should view third-party developers much like Apple does. Essentially, they're getting product innovation for free. Famously, some of the most basic feautres, ranging from replies to retweets, came from the userbase, and there are an infinite number of things I could see clients doing, were they more free in their working with the product (Nuzzel is a great example). John Siracusa pointed out on ATP somewhat recently that Twitter is much less of a product than it is a protocol, much like email is today. And I'd argue Twitter, the company, treating itself as too much of a product is only making it more difficult.
Problems, Pt. I
The problem has been the onboarding experience since day one. They should have been iterating the onboarding experience constantly for eight years, and they haven't been; I don't know what they've been doing.
~Ben Thompson
Indeed, there is an immense barrier to entry to Twitter; the people who don't use or have tried and failed at using the service, do not understand the value it can potentially provide, but not because people are stupid or have no usecase for the platform – it's just that nobody has ever explained it to them or helped them to get to the right place. Like Ben, I would bet $100 that for any of the people I know decently well I could, with some time on my hands, curate a timeline, such that they would use Twitter as their hub to the Internet. That should be their mission statement, not some corporate BS that doesn't even fit in a 140-character tweet: "Be everybody's starting point for their individual Internet experience."
Solutions, Pt. I
Ben and James made some great suggestions by pointing out how they use Twitter: Having a refined timeline with users who constantly provide value and organizing lists that cover additional topics they might, at times, be interested in. They, further, proposed the idea of Twitter being more than one product, essentially offering different intensities of use: Algorithmically curated lists, self-made lists, following other user's lists, and having the non-messed-with, "perfected" timeline. Any move towards this kind of model would clearly increase Twitter's complexity – it's no longer just your timeline with 140-character posts by the few people you follow. But at some point growth is going to require a diversification of the product line; I understand that nobody wants to work on a protocol[2], but there is no way one "Standard Twitter" will be able to cater to all our needs. This is exactly why third-party apps should be seen as a blessing for Twitter, the company, even more so than just for Twitter, the service: They allow for it to become whatever it needs to be for an infinite number of people.
We, and Twitter, cannot and should not expect that people are willing or able to invest that time it takes to get all of the value we adore. Therefore, entertaining the counterintuitive idea of indeed implementing algorithms to get Twitter close enough to what it needs to be to get the universal "you" started, might not be the worst idea. The true solution to the problem is in teaching and simplifying the process for people to curate their timelines such that they can get their personalized Twitter experience every day and/or whenever they want it. Client software could be of great help there, help that I am sure could even be monetized, but just this week Twitter sadly proved they don't want it.
Problems & Solutions, Pt. II
Twitter's second inevitable problem is and has been monetization. Yes, ads seem to be the obvious solution, especially since Twitter has an incredible opportunity in both presenting and curating ads to and for you, and I, too, believe that ads are not going away on the web at large any time soon. But I believe the economics of the Internet, especially the smiling curve, as presented in this adapted form by Ben Thompson, are super interesting:
I think this applies to not just publishers of writing, but to any product on the web (and possibly also to more and more physical goods in the future): There will be focused, independent or small company creators who can sustain their businesses because of their relatively tiny, but willing to pay base of customers on the one hand, and massive companies like Facebook, Google, or Buzzfeed, which are sustainable through ads alone (literally making it up in value). The middle ground is going to be the most dangerous to be in – Twitter is in a weird place and doesn't appear to know where to go. There would probably be enough users willing to pay for Twitter to sustain their business with this limited number of users; and there are probably enough users to sustain the free Twitter based on ads.
Whither Twitter?
I am not sure where this leaves us, to be honest. I don't think Twitter is going away any time soon, no matter which path they choose (although it's obvious they're going for mass, the way there seems unclear to everybody involved). The other day I had a super interesting conversation with a journalist who believed Twitter had no appeal to "normal people", but was mainly for anyone working or interested in some sort of public domain. As the second wave of (fully justified) Ferguson tweet storms began, I couldn't help but also notice the inherent danger that comes alongside heavy customization: Lack of exposure. Worth a post of its own, let's leave it at this: Those who don't curate for opposing opinions will never even be aware of them, and that's a dangerous society I don't want to live in[3].
For a final prediction, I agree with Marco: Twitter is silently going to pull us all away from third-party clients, simply by not allowing them access to new features. In the short-run, this might even raise advertising income, make investors happy, and generate some positive headlines. And who knows, maybe they can come up with better ads, more interesting partnerships, or fancy algorithms to sustain the service without outraging us. Then we might actually stay indefinitely. Otherwise, Twitter may come to have its MySpace-moment – only I'm not sure the transition to "Facebook" will be as pleasant.
TL;DR: Twitter doesn't like third-party apps anymore, and depending on how badly they screw theirs up, I fear the service is going to go downhill. Monetization and the experience for newbies are two areas of main concern – and Twitter doesn't seem to know where it's going. Sad! ↩
Not least of all because there is no money to be made, a problem I will dive into in a second… ↩
Now that's not to say it couldn't be done already, even prior to Twitter. The degree of ease is about to massively increase, however, and I fear the effects that might have, especially for a nation like America where political black-and-whiteness is so prevelant. ↩

There are significant benefits for people in Delaware of all ages to have plans in place for their care and the care of their loved ones in the future. Through a carefully drafted and thoughtful estate plan, you can outline what you want to happen to your property, as well as what type of care you want. However, you may need more than just a basic will.
It is not too early to start estate planning
It is common for Delaware residents and people across the country to have the intention of carrying out certain actions. Of course, if those intentions do not actually turn into taking active steps toward an end result, many important tasks may go unfinished. For instance, when it comes to estate planning, many adults intend to get around to it, but some do not before it is too late.
Charitable giving can be included in estate planning
Many Delaware residents have giving hearts, and they want to keep giving for as long as possible. Charitable donations often make individuals feel good and also benefit other people. Fortunately, philanthropists do not have to stop giving even as their lives come to an end as estate planning can help the contributions continue.
Numerous Americans are considering residential real estate moves
Buying a home is a milestone many people in Delaware and elsewhere want to reach. Of course, navigating the world of residential real estate is not easy, and without the right information, potential homebuyers could end up facing complications. Starting off on the right foot could make all the difference for those looking to buy their first home or even those who have purchased before.
Health care proxy: Patient and agent need to be on the same page
Some Delaware residents feel a sense of accomplishment after making difficult decisions. While this feeling of accomplishment may be warranted, it is also important to remember that making the right decision is better than making just any decision, especially when it comes to creating a health care proxy. It is certainly vital for individuals to choose parties to make medical decisions on their behalves, but it is also important that patient and agent are on the same page.

I dyed my hair again this weekend - an even more obnoxious shade of red - and I love it!! I am throwing out old magazines and getting rid of some clothes I don't wear. I am trying to remove clutter from my life mentally and physically.
It's too early for spring cleaning and yet – that's what I am feeling the need to do. Making adjustments and changes – hopefully for the better!!

Degree day
This article does not cite any sources. (August 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A degree day is a measure of heating or cooling. Total degree days from an appropriate starting date are used to plan the planting of crops and management of pests and pest control timing. Weekly or monthly degree-day figures may also be used within an energy monitoring and targeting scheme to monitor the heating and cooling costs of climate controlled buildings, while annual figures can be used for estimating future costs.
A degree day is computed as the integral of a function of time that generally varies with temperature. The function is truncated to upper and lower limits that vary by organism, or to limits that are appropriate for climate control. The function can be estimated or measured by one of the following methods, in each case by reference to a chosen base temperature:
- Frequent measurements and continuously integrating the temperature deficit or excess;
- Treating each day's temperature profile as a sine wave with amplitude equal to the day's temperature variation, measured from max and min, and totalling the daily results;
- As above, but calculating the daily difference between mean temperature and base temperature;
- As previous, but with modified formulae on days when the max and min straddle the base temperature.
A zero degree-day in energy monitoring and targeting is when either heating or cooling consumption is at a minimum, which is useful with power utility companies in predicting seasonal low points in energy demand.
Heating degree days are typical indicators of household energy consumption for space heating. The air temperature in a building is on average 2–3 °C (4–5 °F) higher than that of the air outside. A temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) indoors corresponds to an outside temperature of about 15.5 °C (60 °F). If the air temperature outside is below 15.5 °C, then heating is required to maintain a temperature of about 18 °C. If the outside temperature is 1 °C (1.8 °F) below the average temperature it is accounted as 1 degree-day. The sum of the degree days over periods such as a month or an entire heating season is used in calculating the amount of heating required for a building. Degree Days are also used to estimate air conditioning usage during the warm season.
Growing degree days[edit]
Growing degree days are based on 5°C as typical plant growth stops below that temperature. Plants growth has been observed to relate stage of growth to the number of degree days. Many plants will fruit after a certain number of degree days. Strawberries for instance. Other plants however, called deterministic, will fruit based on the time of year which the plant determines from the number of hours of sunlight in a day. Think of Easter lilies or Christmas cactus.
The paper referenced shows the complexity of plant growth and degree days. [1]
Black Fly[edit]
Canadians use Growing Degree Days to predict when mosquitoes and black fly emerge and cease. For insect growth however degree days above freezing are used. (0°C) [2]
United States[edit]
In the United States, a simplified method is used to calculate both heating and cooling degree days. The mean (that is, max + min/2) daily temperature in Fahrenheit and a nominal temperature of 65 °F (18 °C) are used. If the mean daily temperature is 65 °F, no degree days are counted. If the mean daily temperature is below 65 °F, the mean degrees Fahrenheit below 65 °F are counted as the heating degree day. If the mean daily temperature is above 65 °F, the mean degrees Fahrenheit above 65 °F are counted as the cooling degree day. The heating and cooling degree days are tallied separately to calculate monthly, seasonal, and yearly total heating and cooling degree days. Heating and cooling degree days closely correlate with heating and cooling demand.
The degree day is not an SI derived unit; although the day is acceptable for use in the SI, it is not a decimal multiple of its base unit, the second. (The degree, in Celsius and measured relative to a base temperature, is identical to the kelvin, the SI base unit). Expressed as a proper SI unit, a quantity of kelvin second is four orders of magnitude higher than the corresponding degree day (1 Celsius degree-day is 8.64×104 K·s; 1 Fahrenheit degree-day is 4.8×104 K·s).

Many fans of bands and other things like to show off their fandom through wearing t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc. Interestingly enough, Duranies do, too. When I was a young Duranie, I didn't have many Duran related clothing but what I did, I wore ALL the time. For example, I had a Duran Duran nightshirt that I wore until that lovely picture on the front faded. Now, I have many Duran t-shirts. Some of these were gifts or purchased on their website but most of them were bought at concerts. I really appreciate the ones that had tour dates on the back that show what tours I have attended! I'm such a dork! Now, I admit that you can't wear Duran Duran t-shirts everywhere, but I do try to sneak them in my wardrobe when I can. I suspect that when I hit my first show or two, I may have to buy another one or two, especially if they look cool. I did see a picture of the t-shirts they were selling this past week. I wasn't wild about it–it was a group picture from the video but lacked color.
The other item I will look for at my next show is the tour book. I have a number of them from previous tours and look forward to this one. One thing about Duran is that they tend to have really quality products when it comes to things like a tour book. They want to make sure that all of their products are well-done, which is a quality that I admire. I'm hoping that it is something like the Astronaut one, which just seemed huge! Plus, the Astronaut one had a pop-up piece to it! Who didn't love setting up the pop-up band members and being able to move them around the little stage?! Of course, I would be happy with something like the book for RCM, which wasn't too terribly fancy but still had quality. These items will, unfortunately, increase my costs at the shows, but they are well worth the price to me and to my collection.
One collection that might not require a lot of money is one's bootleg collection. It is not uncommon within fandom for people to have bootlegs of concerts. These bootlegs could be video or audio. (Now, I'm not going to talk about the legality of bootlegs here-just acknowledging that they exist in fandom.) For some people, they might want to have a copy of the shows they have attended and, for others, they might want to have every show possible. Perhaps, they hear something new or different with each show. Maybe, they feel like they are on tour this way, even if they aren't. It seems to me that most bootlegs in Duranland are not passed around for profit but are done through trading from one fan to another. Thus, new shows mean new bootlegs.
It seems to me that having a collection is one way for fans to show or express their fandom. Each fan who wants to express their fandom this way decides which thing to collect. Some may focus on the music. Others may focus on something like t-shirts that can travel with them. It doesn't matter to me, but think anything that increases or reinforces one's fandom is a cool thing.

As the world turned off its lights for one hour last Saturday in a fleeting concern for Earth, even the blindingly luminescent Las Vegas strip joined in. Here it is with the lights on and then with the lights off…
As the world turned off its lights for one hour last Saturday in a fleeting concern for Earth, even the blindingly luminescent Las Vegas strip joined in. Here it is with the lights on and then with the lights off…
well tonight was certainly a the night that the wheat separated from the chaff… the best performances by far were allison and matt. they are both pros at this and just have that natural ability and talent. adam and danny were also really good, the norm from them, i thought. however, with adam, i'm getting a little tired of all the drama. he's a bit over the top, but still, can sing like crazy!
i'm worried for megan and michael this week… def in the bottom in my opinion. lil rounds and scott are still pushing through but just barely hanging in there.
another solid shot from kris allen. he's got a cool little vibe about him.
i thought that anoop did pretty darn well too! he's got a really sweet voice. i like him doing the ballads so much better than what got him into this competition.
so there you go…
the wheat – allison and matt
the chaff – megan and michael
so last night was kinda weird for me. i love country night on american idol but it just didn't do it for me this year. there were a lot of very strange song choices i thought. anyway, here are my favorites…
as usual, adam lambert was AMAZING! loved the johnny cash song bro but not on country night. i felt like it was a little sacrilegious… but nonetheless, FANTASTIC job! he's just got it.
danny gokey, my horse, didn't do as well this week. still really really good though. my vote is gonna be for him every single week. i can feel it. he's just a like-able guy and solid in his performances. i agree with everyone on the wardrobe… a little too straight jacket-esque… but who cares… SIMON! gosh! he's not the one choosing this outfits anyway.
praise the Lord that kris allen stepped it up this week! holy moly that boy can sing! we've known this all along but kinda forgot about it, i think. great job on his part.
i also thought anoop dog did really well with his ballad and matt giraud… dude…. wow! another great song choice and A+ job behind the keys. i can see him winning this thing!
the girls were a little off this week. not one of them stood out too me. not even megan. i feel bad for her being sick so considering, she did really well. i'm scared for lil rounds and scott macintyre tonight. i missed lil's soul and it just might be time for scott to go. he's good but not as good as the rest of the gang… and think about it… if he made the top 10, don't you think it would be hard for him to do all the touring?
oh! and randy… dude… gingerbread fake tan and even faker teeth do not equal cool. not even for you buddy.
Many women believe that if they try hard enough to be the perfect Christian woman, God will honor their efforts. They painstakingly juggle responsibilities as wives, mothers, employees, and friends never realizing that a very liberating truth is available to them. God does not call them to be perfect. He wants them to be confident – confident in His love and acceptance. As a mentor, friend and former perfection-seeker, Anabel Gillham shares how women can experience the transforming touch of confidence as they:
This book ministers to women of all ages and backgrounds as they encounter their unshakable identity in Christ and discover how His amazing strength meets their every need.
I read this book in college and it changed my life. I was rude towards others, bitter about what life had handed me, judgemental about others, a perfectionist about myself, and the list goes on and on. I was not happy on the inside although on the outside, I appeared to be. I had many friends but they didn't make me truly happy. I had and still do have a loving family but they didn't make me happy either. I loved the Lord but was worn down spiritually and felt unworthy of any blessing. I was constantly telling myself that I'm not good enough. Why should I be loved? Many things in life were great but I was empty, stressed, bitter, lonely, frustrated with my lack of perfection, confused about school and life in general. I was being pulled in a million directions and uncertain of which way to go… until… someone handed me this book and told me to read. It changed my life! It taught me so much but the main lesson I learned was… in order to love others and be happy with my situations in life, I had to LOVE MYSELF! After I learned that, WOW, the change that came was amazing! I fell in love with the beauty that my God created and I began to fall more in love with Him, those around me, and what HE had given me. I loved so much it hurt! I was sacrificing myself for others, no requirements or questions asked. I stood taller and was about to see what He created as truly beautiful! Thank you Lord for that life lesson.
So… go out there and get this book and then read it! Don't let it sit on that shelf with all the other books you've been meaning to read. This one will change your life!
i'm taking a cue from travis and am joining in on the AI live blogging… ok… here we go peeps!
what's the deal with the weird intro? was that weird for you? it was weird for me.
i LOVE that scott macintyre's bro is with him on stage… so cute, keeping it in the family. by the way, scott's bro is a model for dillard's and petsmart. how about that for random knowledge?
yeah baby, MJ! i sure hope someone sings PYT… this could be really amazing tonight! do you think the man in the mirror will make an appearance?!?!?!?!
lil rounds: the way you make me feel : go on girl! she's looking pretty comfy on that stage. i like her. good performance.
scott macintyre: keep the faith : boy's got a little bit of soul in him! way to go scott! i don't understand why simon is being so square with his comments for scott yet wanting everyone else to go outside the box. makes no sense…
danny gokey: PYT: YEAH BABY! i freakin love this song!!! a little michael mcdonald influence here? holy crap my brotha! danny gokey baby! he's my horse this year.
michael sarver : you are not alone : a few words to describe mr. michael… pipes. pretty boy. lady's man. kinda kareoke but good. you can tell he's had a lot of time singing in the church.
jasmine murray: i'll be there : great song choice! aww… so many memories… this was always the couples skate song at the roller rink. although i was usually the girl playing skiball… anyway… not sure if this performance gonna keep her in the competition. funny enough, i agree with paula on this one.
chris allen: remember the time: another church boy that can SING! holy crap. the guitar was a little out of place, i thought. seems like he's hiding behind it a bit and he didn't sing as well as usual but still, really really good. jason mraz esque. thank you randy.
allison irahetta: give it to me: she's a natural! not sure she will win this contest but she'll def have a career after the show. so who thinks she's older than she says she is?
anoop desai: beat it: decent job. a little weak for the caliber song he chose. cute as a button though. he'll certainly get the girl vote.
jorge nunez: never can say goodbye: all of puerto rico will be voting tonight… but sad to say, that might be it. very pitchy i thought.
megan joy corkrey: rockin robin: sweet girl. kinda reminds me of a more quirky kt tunstall. wait… does simon have a lighter in his hand?! yes. yes he does.
adam lambert: black and white: i just hope he doesn't stick his tongue out… oh… nope, there it is. he couldn't resist. oh well, he's still really really good! loved it!
what's a hurky, ryan?
matt giraud: human nature: another phenom song! i like this guy… GREAT job behind the piano. LOVED that.
alexis grace: dirty diana: yeah girl! best girl performance by far!
oh wait… a change? are the judges deciding the fate of the contestants this year? it's about time.
no MJ… oh well…

Located in Blarney Village, about 8 km northwest from Cork City in the south of Ireland, you will find the Blarney Castle and Gardens. Built by Cormac Laidir, Lord of Muskerry. It started off as a wooden structure built in the tenth century, then was replaced by a stone structure in 1210 A.D. After that was demolished, it was resurrected in 1446. Blarney Castle is the third structure to be built on this site.
We arrived at the nearly vacant Blarney Castle at around 10am on a Sunday. This was a great time to visit as there weren't a lot of people walking around the expansive grounds.
It cost €18 per adult and we each received a little map and entry ticket.
Things to do at Blarney Castle & Gardens
1. Cross the bridge by River Martin
2. See The Seven Sisters
Picture by Aerial Photography
Legend tells of a famous King of Munster who once ruled these lands. He had seven daughters and two sons. His rival was also a powerful clan chief and the time came when the king had to defend his lands. One fateful day the army rode out to battle with the king and his two sons at the head of it. Although victorious, it came at a great cost, as both sons were killed in the fighting. The army marched back to the castle, on route passing the ancient druid's stone circle that had stood for millennia. The king dispatched a contingent of men to the sacred site and in his grief he instructed them to push over two of the nine standing stones. This would forever commemorate his two fallen sons. The seven sisters remain standing to this day.
3. See the Fern Garden and Waterfall
In the heart of the castle gardens you will find a limestone cliff overlooking ferns and a dramatic waterfall on one side to add to the ambience. There are over 80 varieties of ferns including a 5m high Dicksonia antarctica which happens to be the tallest of its kind in ireland.
4. The Rock Close and Water Garden
If you follow this trail, it will lead you through a leafy canopy of ancient yew and oak trees where you will find two flowing waterfalls. It's a mystical place where you will find the "wishing steps" which the story has it, if you walk down these backwards with your eyes shut, all your wishes will come true.
5. Learn about poisonous plants at the Poison Garden
Hidden behind the castle, you will find the infamous poison garden with a collection of poisonous plants from around the world including the Wolfsbane and the Mandrake from Harry Potter's there is Information about their toxicity, traditional and modern day uses.
5. Go to the top of the castle
The stairs in the castle are steep, windy, slippery and narrow. Some sections have a rope that you can grab, but most do not so you need to be very careful. I'm not quite sure if I'd want my child to do this but it's all up to the parent.
6. Kiss the Blarney Stone
For over 200 years people from all over the world have kissed the Blarney Stone with the hope of gaining the gift of eloquence. To kiss the Blarney Stone, you actually have to lean backwards and grab the iron railing. There is a man there to hold you and keep the line moving.
7. The magnificent views
From the top of the castle you can take in breathtaking views of over 60 acres of sprawling parklands which includes gardens, avenues, arboretums and waterways.
8. Visit the Stable Yard
It used to be a stable yard now it's been turned into a Café but you can still walk through the stables or visit the horses graveyard on the property.
9. Get inside a cave
According to legend, three passages lead away from Badger's Cave: one to Cork, one to Kerry, and one to the lake at the edge of the property. The castle garrison used this cave to escape from Cromwell's general, Lord Broghill, in 1646.
10. Visit the Blarney House
Just 200 yards south of the castle, this family home was built in 1874 and it is beautifully situated overlooking Blarney Lake. It contains a fine collection of early furniture, family portraits, tapestries and works of art.
It was an unexpectedly great yet cold morning. I did not expect Blarney Castle to be so captivating and full of amazing walking trails and breathtaking views.
Don't forget that accidents and mishaps are often a part of traveling abroad, and so you shouldn't forget to cover yourself and your belongings for any eventuality. I always choose World Nomads, because you can buy and claim online, even after you've left home. It's designed for adventurous travellers with cover for overseas medical, evacuation, baggage and a range of adventure sports and activities.

Episode Twenty Seven: The Blackout Ripper Part 3: In the early hours of Wednesday 11th February 1942, 43 year old Margaret Florence Lowe was found strangled and posed in her flat on 9/10 Gosfield Street (Fitzrovia), but her murder was uncannily similar to the murders of Evelyn Hamilton and Evelyn Oatley just two days before. Was a sadistic spree-killer on the loose?

Speed is only three weeks into his new role at Bramall Lane and the last thing he needs is an encounter with his old friend and colleague. But that is the fate awaiting Speed when he takes his Blades to Pride Park this lunchtime.
Derby skipper Savage, 35, has built a reputation as one of the most controversial characters in English football.
And Speed, 41, who played alongside Savage in the Wales midfield for a decade before ending his international career in 2004, admits: "Sav is like marmite – it's a love or hate thing and there can be no in between with him.
"And I know better than anybody what me and my team can expect from him.
"He'll be trying to wind up my lads all over the pitch because unsettling opponents any way he can is a big part of his game and always has been.
"There are people in and around the game who refuse to look beyond that and tag him a villain.
"But, for me, his bad boy reputation is definitely not justified.
"I played alongside Robbie for nearly 10 years with Wales and I can tell you with all honesty that he is a very good player and a great lad.
"I spoke to him after I got the manager's job at Bramall Lane and he was made up for me. Typical Robbie, he was sincere, passionate and genuinely wanted me to do well.
"Sav has always been a much better footballer than a lot of people are prepared to acknowledge and, though nearly 36, he is still a massive influence on the pitch.
"He is the guy who makes Derby tick and gets them passing and moving.
"And his experience and desire to give absolutely everything in every minute of every game sets a great example for his team-mates.
"He may have been a bit silly in his younger days, but he has matured with age and deserves to be taken at face value."
And Speed is backing his old mate to be every bit as successful and controversial in his blossoming new career as he is on the pitch.
Savage is a regular on the radio this season and Blades boss Speed added: "I have heard Robbie on the radio quite a few times already and, much as it pains me to say it, he is actually quite good at that, too!"

1. Wash Your Hands! It's easy to forget the basics. According to the World Health Association, washing your hands can reduce your chances of getting respiratory infection by 24%. It's best to use soap and water and lather up for a minimum of 30 seconds; however, if hand sanitizer is your only option, use it, but do so sparingly.
2. Sleep. For prevention of or treating a cold, get your eight hours a night (or more!). The immune system works at night, while we sleep. So, give up your evening TV show or post-dinner work session and get to bed early!
3. Food is powerful. You are what you eat!
- Eliminate all white sugar (small amounts of honey, stevia, or maple syrup are OK). Sugar can literally slow down the functioning of your white blood cells.
- Drink more hot herbal tea and hot water (but not coffee). Drinking hot fluids can help to reduce a virus' ability to bind to your throat where it prefers to replicate. So, if you are exposed, drink up! Some teas I like are peppermint, Gypsy Cold Care® by Traditional Medicinals, and Egyptian Licorice® by Yogi Tea. Bulk herbal tea blends are even better. Try a Dr. Elise herbal blend, such as Tummy Tea, Women's Tea, or Detox Tea.
- Eat more soups and stews. Soups and stews, especially those made from bone broth, have been shown to improve immunity and shorten the length of a cold.
- Skip the fruit juice and opt for whole fruits. Fruit juice (e.g., orange juice) is full of fruit sugars, which can hinder immune function in concentrated doses. Next time you're tempted to pour yourself a tall glass of juice, eat a whole raw piece of fruit instead. If you must drink fruit juice, dilute it 50% with filtered water.
4. Exercise. Another great reason to get out there and move your body is that regular exercise strengthens immunity. What you want to do is walk, swim, or otherwise engage your entire body in movement for a 30- to 40-minute period every other day. No need to over stress yourself, as a hard workout is not indicated when fighting off a cold. Get out there and move!
5. Herbs and vitamins can provide that needed support. There are a lot of different opinions out there regarding what the best formulas are for treating and preventing viral infections such as the common cold or the flu. In my 12 years of experience experimenting with herbs and vitamins, I have found the following to be the BEST.
- Super Bio Vegetarian tablets –– If someone you work with or live with is sick- start taking 1-2 tablets 3 times each day. If you have already fallen ill, then take 2 tablets every 2 hours for 3 days then reduce to three times a day. If you are pregnant or nursing please do not take this supplement.
- Elderberry Elixer (fruit anthocyanins) –– This particular berry syrup is not only delicious, but a potent and effective immune support. Its easy to take this one because it tastes so good. Take 1 teaspoon a day for prevention and 1 teaspoon 3 times a day when sick.
- Arctic D Cod Liver Oil –– This liquid form of cod liver oil does not taste overly fishy- it's palatable and many people enjoy it. It's packed with naturally occurring vitamin D and vitamin A, both important for immune function. Take 1 teaspoon a day for prevention and 2 Tablespoons a day for treatment. If you are pregnant, stick to 1 teaspoon a day so you don't get too much vitamin A.
So, there you have it. Five ways to keep your immune system up and running this winter. If you are interested in stocking up on some cold and flu prevention supplements, these three are on sale this month. Get 10% off my favorite three supplements while supplies last!
