Hi there,
I'm afraid that you can't automatically email the form submission as CSV however you can download a copy of all your submissions for any individual form. To do this, open your "My Forms" list and highlight a form by clicking it once. The Submissions button will appear at the top of the page. click it and you will have the submissions for that form. Then just select the option to download as CSV;

Hi Daniel,
I know that this (downlod the CSV file) is available as an option. Thanks!
I am doing this for a client and do not want him to log into my account. I felt that since you are storing the data as a CSV (therefore creating one) that it could be created and attached. This would be a nice feature for this particular client. I also use another form manager that is not at all as handy as Jot Form and yet this form manager has this feature as a standard item. So I decided to ask as if one doesn't ask then one will never know. I also thought that it might be a nice feature to add/develope for your next upgrade.
From a different angle - can I provied this client with a login just for his forms or to the CSV downlaod area (even better).
Best regards,
- DanielGriffinAnswered on July 11, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Hi Gary,
It is a good idea. I will add it to our requested features list. However it might take some time before we can consider it. The CSV file isn't actually saved, it is generated when you click the button.
Sorry but there is no way to give another user limited access to your account. i can also add that to the requested features list but I think that will be very low priority. I'm not sure if it is an option for you, but running your own licensed version of Jotform would allow you to easily mange user account:

Riebeek Cellars @ Riebeek Kasteel
Location: Riebeek Kasteel
Nestled in the picturesque Riebeek Valley, tucked up against the slopes of the majestic Kasteelberg, lies Riebeek Cellars.
This medium-sized winery on the western coast of the Cape Province of South Africa sources its grapes from the fertile Riebeek Valley and the slopes of the mountain where the climate is very similar to the Mediterranean. Through the years as vineyard practices developed, cultivars were planted in soil and at slopes best suited to them. These well-tended vineyards enable the production of high quality wines which makes Riebeek Cellars the choice of wine buyers internationally.
A wide array of cultivars thrive in the Riebeek Valley with Shiraz, Chardonnay and Chenin blanc especially shining through because of the gravel and shale soil's moderate growth and yields. The excellent terroir is complemented by modern viticulture techniques to ensure the grapes can ripen to their full potential.
At Riebeek Cellars, we have a tradition of uncomplicated simplicity that you'll find not only in our wines, but in the unpretentious people who call the Valley home, and you'll experience it in the warm yet humble country hospitality for which they're known.
But, above all, you'll taste it in a range of wines that balance mild, wet winters with the fruity concentration of hot, dry summers, all born of superb soils and honed in a cellar where time-honoured processes live side-by-side with the best modern wine making techniques.
Our Cellars are open for Wine Tastings as follows:
Open: Monday - Friday: 08h00 - 17h00
Opening Hours: Wine Shop on the Square in Riebeek Kasteel

fleeing Chile in the early 1970s, Isabel Allende has, in her
own words, 'reinvented myself several times.' She uses
her writing as a means of expressing herself and has written
about subjects as diverse as food, sex and state sponsored
she still loves her homeland of Chile, she knew that she had
to leave it. She explains,
that time, the situation was unbearable. I felt very threatened
and I felt that the circle of repression was closing around
my neck.'
her enforced exile in Venezuela, Allende begain to write.
During that time she has learnt to draw on her personal experiences,
both past and present, and claims that had she not been forced
to leave Chile she may never have written.
her youth Allende led the typical nomadic life of a diplomat's
child and soon realised that 'roots are not in landscape
or a country, or a people, they are inside you.'
in Lima, Peru during World War II, her father worked for the
Chilean embassy. When he absconded in 1945, Allende was just
three years old and her family had no idea where he had gone
to. Now believing that he was bisexual and was probably involved
in a scandal, Allende didn't see him again until many years
later when he collapsed and died in the street and she was
called to identify the body. Her mother later remarried, again
to a diplomat, and the family went where his work took him.
the age of 19 Allende married an Anglo-Chilean engineer, their
marriage lasted 25 years despite her claims that she married
him not for love, but because he was the only man to have
asked her. In
interview she has claimed that she did everything for her
husband and served him, 'like a geisha'.
her uncharacteristic subserviance, they led a seemingly happy
and fulfilled existence in Santiago, Chile. Allende worked
as a presenter of her own television show whilst raising her
two children Nicolas and Paula.
Fleeing The Coup
In September 1973, President Salvador Allende, her father's
cousin, and Chile's first Marxist leader, died during a military
coup. General Pinochet came to power and Allende's world began
to change, she explains:
fled to Venezuela. She never thought her exile would be forever,
but military rule in Chile lasted for 17 years. When Pinochet
was finally arrested, Allende was still in exile. Her feelings
during the time of Pinochets arrest are clear:
'A weight was lifted from the Chilean society and in that
time a space was created for the truth to be known. For the
first time we discussed what had happened which was an amazing
achievement. From then on everything else that happened was
a bonus.'
her time away from Chile was enforced she recognises that
without it, she may never have become a writer. In a recent
interview she claimed that writing helped her to break 'the
chain of hatred in my soul'.
In America
1988, Allende met and quickly fell in love with her
second husband. She currently resides in San Francisco
where she has once again adapted to a change in culture.
She attributes her ability to blend in with different
people to having an open mind. She explains:
'I have travelled all over the world and one thing
that amazes me is that I can communicate with people.
My story may be different but emotionally we are all
the same. I tend to see the similarities in people and
not the differences.'
As A Life-Line
work as a journalist gave her the skills to create characters
and develop stories - standing her in good stead as
a novelist, but not necessarily as an impartial journalist.
In interview she claimed,
'I was a lousy journalist. I could never be objective.
Sometimes I invented the whole story. When I met the
great poet Pablo Neruda, he said "you are the worst
journalist in this country. You lie all of the time.
Why don't you switch to literature".'
then the written word has helped Allende through some
difficult times and she has often used storytelling
as a way of exorcising her soul.
first novel The House Of Spirits (1982) began
life as a letter to her grandparents and drew on her
memories of childhood. Later, following the death of
her daughter, she wrote Paula (1999). In this
instance writing became more than therapy:
always thought that when she died that my life wouldn't
have any sense anymore and I had been saving sleeping
pills for this purpose. When she did die, I realised
that I had to write what had happened and for a year
I wrote a memoir called Paula and that saved me… it
is not a sad book. I realised that in choosing the adjectives
you can decide the tone of the paragraph, the tone of
the event and eventually the tone of your own life.
So if you change the way you tell your own story you
can change the colour and create a life in technicolour.'

Charlie Hebdo is releasing on Wednesday its first issue since the deadly shootings at its Paris offices that killed 12 people last week.
The satirical publication will release three million copies of its Jan. 14 edition. Here is the cover.
Mahomet en une du «Charlie Hebdo» de mercredi http://t.co/2JGWBH2Qpz pic.twitter.com/1AzjFiFvmL— Libération (@libe) January 12, 2015
The cover image depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding up a sign saying, "Je Suis Charlie," in reference to the slogan people have used to show solidarity with the shooting victims.
There is also a headline saying, "Tout est pardonné," which means, "All is forgiven."
It's a powerful statement following attacks by men who objected to the depiction of the Muslim prophet in its pages.

From Left to Right or Darkest to lightest we have the shades Looking for the Truffle A362, Toffee Frappe A361, and Nude Streak A360
I had gotten this in a Christmas set, it was five dollars for all three. These sell individually for $3.49 and I've seen them on sale for $2.49.
My thoughts: It's actually a very comfortable formula. It is not matte, it's a velvet matte, and it makes your lips feel velvety. I do not like the lightest shade at all, it washes me out. The other two shades look and feel very nice. I've actually been quite impressed with wet n wild lately. They have been making changes in their formula and are actually competing in the drug store now.
Have you tried any of these lip colors by wet n wild? What are your thoughts?

"So, rather than the bottom end of the market plummeting since the loan:valuation ratio speed limits came on, activity has actually stayed stronger than long-term average and above the same time last year."
What's happening at the lower end of the market? CoreLogic research head Jonno Ingerson asked when Quotable Value Ltd issued its monthly index figures on Friday.
Mr Ingerson painted a picture to show the bottom of the market had risen, and was more active than a year ago, before it supposedly plummeted as a result of the Reserve Bank's decision to impose loan:valuation ratio limits.
Un a blog comment, he wrote: "There has been some talk that the loan:valuation ratio speed limits have caused a dramatic drop in sales at the lower end of the market. It seemed to me that in the current rising market the actual number of properties worth less than, say $400,000, would be decreasing, so it should be no surprise that the number of sales would also drop.

I. love. the. hospital. I can't say enough how much I love staying in the hospital after I have a baby. I love being waited on. I love the comfort of having nurses and doctors at my disposal 24/7. I love the visitors. I love the peace and quiet. I love the sleepless nights. I love the diet coke fountain drinks. I love the pain pills. But, most of all, I love the reason I am there. My newborn baby. I love soaking up my little bundle without any other care in the world. Nothing else to worry about. Tim and I treasuring every new moment with our little guy.

I just watched a documentary on England's World Cup in 1990 in Italy called "One Night In Turin" and it was all about Bobby Robson, the England manager, and how the press gave him a tough time of things when he was England manager for eight years, and certainly in his last tournament in italy as England's manager.
Robson at Barcelona in 1997 – with his assistant – a young Jose Mourinho
Of course Bobby with players like former Newcastle players Paul Gascoigne and Chris Waddle in the side, had the last laugh when he took England to the World Cup semi-finals, and we lost on penalties after extra time to West Germany.
But that showed how tough Bobby Robson was and in later years he was revered by the press, probably because he had proved himself a terrific manager in all kinds of management, including a brilliant five years as Newcastle manager – the only job he ever wanted.
A portrait of Sir Bobby Robson is still in Alan's office, and was put there by Chris Hughton, who was always a big fan of Bobby Robson.
And Alan Pardew has talked about Bobby Robson today in an interview in the Evening Chronicle:
"Bobby does breeze past me now and again." "The training ground has not changed, he is probably still here in some form!" "What lives on with Bobby is his personality and his warmth as a person."
"I am not the same as him." "I do not have the type of warmth he had." "I have a much harder surface." "In the past I have been called arrogant on the surface." "I have never really thought I was, but I do tread a fine line between confidence in my ability and arrogance."
"I do not have a problem with that." "When I was younger I used to think 'What, I am not arrogant, I am OK!" "I understand you can assume that." "Bobby was never that. Bobby was always a warm kind of guy, although some people at Ipswich might disagree with that, he kind of had that tag going on when he was there."
"As you grow older you grow wiser."
That last line is so true, because as you get older you soften a little, and your priorities seem to change – like trying to stay alive. 😀
Bobby Robson has been an inspiration to me for years and years, and it's good to hear Alan speak well of the former Newcastle manager, one of the best managers England has ever produced.
And if you haven't seen "One Night In Turin" take a look at it, and you'll see how really tough Bobby Robson was – and how he survived the English press – which has changed much over these last 22 years – if truth be told.
And as my son Neil told me before I watched it – "it's great and it's all about Newcastle."
And you'll also get a look at Newcastle-born Paul Gascoigne, whom Bobby always said was "as daft as a brush."
It's also available on Netflix – if you have a subscription to the streaming video company – that's where I watched it.

Sir bobby did not ever walk out of any job he had he honoured his contract at every club through THICK AND THIN. different class for me he thought more than about himself,
KK walked away from every job he ever had, he was my hero at the toon, and those 92/97 years cant ever be forgotton.
he said he had pride and honour and principles.
Hey Beefman….Saw your response about Ryder from last night.
The fact he says there isn't any censorship doesn't really prove or disprove anything. He may well agree with a lot, as do I incidentally, however, he does come across as a reporter that is told to to toe the line somewhat. As a reporter he probably should be questioning things more, he generally reports what is good (which whilst there is a lot imo, it can't all be rosy either).
I can see why and where it comes from. The slightest bit of negativity is generally blown out or proportion and they want to keep that to a minimum, doesn't make it right though.
Ibiza, like me lee ryder may think their is nothing to be negative about, i cannot see any negativity at the moment concerning the toon.
In fact we have just signed the best deal in NUFC history our beloved SJP is back, we have players just about back from injury a full squad looking as hungry as ever, im more than full of hope for the future.
Just maybe lee Ryder is as well.
Beefman…I am assuming, much like you. I think you know I am massively optimistic and pleased with the clubs progress, so this isn't a doom and gloom shout out, far from it.
I'm happy to leave the Ryder discussion, it is just an opinion of mine, seeing as other reporters have been banned (as far as I remember) for asking the "wrong" questions, it would indicate that Ryder asks the "right" questions. Who is deciding the right or wrong questions?
Don't want to cause negativity, as overall, things are going great as far as I am concerned. I am proud to be a Magpie 🙂
Pardew is right, Robson was not like him at all.
Sir Bobby spoke his mind, said what he had to say truthfully and never changed his stories or comments to suit the occasion or the directives of the club's owner.
Pardew is now saying we were unfortunate not to get a central defender in in the last transfer window. Not so long ago he was telling us that we didn't get one in because it would harm the development of our young defensive players coming through.
The current manager, although admittedly doing a good job, speaks with forked tongue.
wynsleap….He has been known to change his stance on certain issues from time to time. I think when you consider the multiple areas of the club he needs to "manage" (Players, Board, fans and media), all of which are wanting different things, he does a bloomin' good job at managing. He needs to keep all of these different aspects happy or he will ultimately find himself without a job and I think his good far outweighs the bad….for now anyway…I'll save my judgement until the weekend. Defeat at the mackems and he's a goner 🙂
both kk and sir bobby were gentlmen and great for our club, i only wish that bobby had left barca to come to us when kev was really pushed out by shepard and douglas hall. we would never have lost the great players kev had attracted. both on a par for me. and i think that the hierachy treat them both bad in their times in managment, kev is heart on sleeve which i admire as much as bobbys diplomatic grand manner!

As an musician and avid music fan, I was more than excited to discover a bit about the Dublin music scene. I had very little knowledge of what to expect besides a few google searches here and there. The first night we were here I stumbled across a band by the name of Meltybrains (quite the odd name). They played an incredible show at Sweeney's. The music was intricate, loud, and accessible. This got me excited about for all the musical potential of Dublin. The next day I went to a record store, Tower Records, where I asked an employee to suggest an album for me after describing the sound of Meltybrains to him. He gave me an album by a band named Enemies. Once again, another great band, but still I wanted more, I wanted to be opened to the entire scene. A couple nights later we ended up back at Sweeney's, which would end up become somewhat of a routine while at Malvern House. I began talking to a local there and he happened to be at the show I was at the week before. He told me about all the local shows Sweeney's puts on. I then asked him if he knew about the band Enemies in which he responded with an excited 'yes.' They played in Dublin several times in the past year along with several other similar bands on a Dublin based record label called "The Richter Collective." When I got home that night, after a bit of research I found an entire list of local bands that were quite incredible. Each band on the label had connections to at least a couple other local bands not on the label. It amazed me how quickly it all connected. I've never come across anything really like this in America, a web of bands each linking to each, playing similar music all influencing each other in a scene of "underground" music. Maybe I need to look harder when I'm in American but from what I've seen Dublin seems like the place to be for awesome music.

When someone I know gets a new Vita and they ask what games they should be looking at first, I always say "Mutant Blobs and Guacamelee!" Drinkbox has delivered two of the best games – in very different styles – available for the platform.
But Guacamelee! was available on PS3 too, and just as enjoyable on a big screen as it was on the handheld. So the news that Drinkbox is bringing its luchadorian adventure to the newer consoles is quite exciting. The Guacamelee! Gold Edition, already available on Steam, features the base game and all the subsequent DLC. This new version of the game is called Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition and it will have all the DLC and some new bosses, levels and abilities.
It's coming to PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and Xbox 360 as a download, with no firm date just yet. IGN seems to have the only trailer on YouTube for it:

DIT hosts National Skills 2012
17 September 2012: DIT once again hosted the National Skills Competition 2012, with some fifty apprentices and students from around Ireland competing over three days in their respective skills areas. According to Martin Sneyd, Chair of the DIT Organising Committee, "DIT is very proud to facilitate the competition for these highly skilled young people, who represent the best in Irish industry.

Mr. Paul O'Sullivan, Director and Dean of the College of Business, DIT, congratulated the winners and all of the competitors on behalf of DIT. Commenting that they may have been surprised to find the Dean of Business addressing them, he said "Successful countries have always had strong skills training models – just look at Germany, for example." Acknowledging that the building industry had been too large at its height, he said the level of building right now in Ireland is too low and needs to double within the next few years. "The recent Government stimulus package will create a demand for your skills, and that demand will rise quickly so it is important that we maintain and build those skills so that you can contribute to rebuilding the economy – as craftsmen and women, as entrepreneurs and as employers."
Mr. Don O'Sullivan, Construction Industry Federation, echoed those remarks and said the need to maintain our skills base must not be ignored. "We have seen a decline from €37 billion in 2007, to just €8 billion this year in construction, and from 400,000 employed to 100,000. The norm should be for construction to account for 10% of the economy, and at the moment it is just 6% so we need to recover that ground. In this situation our skills base can become dissipated, but the National Skills Competition shows that we can rebuild."

How Does Your Garden Grow
Do you ever give much thought to the gardens you pass every single day?
We walk the same route to school most days, once in a while I will change it up, keeps it exciting!
I cover about 50 miles a week on foot just on the school runs, that is a lot of garden viewing time.
Some have been paved over to within an inch of their border with not a blade of grass nor stray weed to be found, others are dumps for all kinds of garbage, some have evidence of well meant intentions left to flounder, there are many where the gardeners have done their best and keep their gardens just lovely and there are some…which are just beautiful.
If I could sneak in under the archways of roses, flump down on the green green grass and just sit amongst the glorious flowers of every shade and hue imaginable, I would.
But I'd probably get kicked out for trespassing so I settled for some sneaky pics instead!
These flowers growing between the cracks in the pavement and a wall seem very urban.
I do love it when the daisy's and buttercups are left to take over.
Hop over to Mammasaurus to see some lovely Spring gardens

On 7 September 2016, the Court of Justice dismissed the appeal by various entities of the Pilkington group ("Pilkington") concerning its role in the car glass cartel [see our January 2015 newsletter on the judgment of the General Court ("GC") in this case]. In its judgment, the Court of Justice confirmed the Commission's interpretation and application of the 2006 Fining Guidelines relating to the inclusion of sales arising from contracts outside the infringement period in the basic amount of the fine, the appropriate currency conversion methods and the proportionality of the fine to the total turnover of an undertaking.
Pilkington's first ground of appeal concerned the sales arising from contracts which pre-dated the infringement and which were not re-negotiated during that period of time. The Court dismissed Pilkington's arguments and concluded that those sales fell within the scope of the cartel for the purpose of calculating the basic amount of the fine in so far as they were capable of reflecting the economic importance of the infringement.
The Court argued that taking into account the findings of fact made by the GC in relation to the scope of the cartel, its mode of operation and its overall objective of stabilizing market shares, the GC rightly found that it was not necessary to collude on each supply contract in order to achieve that objective. The cartels' overall plan was to allocate supplies of automotive glass between the cartel participants, including existing supply contracts. As a result, if the Commission were not entitled to include the sales at issue, the resulting fines would not reflect the economic significance of the infringement.
Pilkington's second ground of appeal concerned the Commission's use of the average exchange rate of the year preceding the adoption of the decision to convert Pilkington's worldwide turnover from pound sterling to euros in the calculation of the 10% statutory ceiling of the fine.
The Court concluded that the conversion method used by the Commission is in line with the choice of the legislature that the turnover figures for the last full business year are most likely to reflect the financial capacity of an undertaking and therefore meets the objective behind the 10% statutory ceiling. The Court considered that the use of the daily exchange rate applicable on the day when the decision was adopted, as suggested by Pilkington, was "bound to be uncertain and unpredictable". In addition, it rejected Pilkington's argument that the statutory ceiling is designed to ensure absolute protection against monetary fluctuations.
The Court also dismissed Pilkington's third ground of appeal in which it essentially argued that the proportion of its fine in relation to its total turnover was significantly higher compared to the other addressees of the decision because it was not a diversified undertaking. Interestingly, the Court ruled that this result is inherent to the fine calculation method envisaged in the 2006 Fining Guidelines and that the Commission is not required to ensure that the final amounts of the fines reflect any distinction between the undertakings concerned in terms of their overall turnover. Pilkington's argument that account was taken of such considerations in other decisions of the Commission was also rejected as the Court reiterated that "the Commission's practice in previous decisions does not serve as a legal framework for the fines imposed in competition matters".

Jewish 'Sexperts' Dr. Ruth, Dr. Drew Endorse New 'Powerful Aphrodisiac' Movie Starring Israeli Actress Gal Gadot
by Shiryn Ghermezian
Two renowned Jewish "sexperts" have teamed up to explain why Israeli actress Gal Gadot's upcoming film is the perfect date movie and a "very powerful aphrodisiac."
In a new video, sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer and American celebrity doctor Drew Pinsky said the movie "Keeping Up With the Joneses" features seven elements that will stimulate sexual arousal in both men and women. These include: short dresses, foreign accents, girl-on-girl kissing, lingerie and "Madmen" star Jon Hamm, who plays Gadot's husband in the movie. The doctors said they came to their conclusion based on a new "scientific" method they developed to calculate a film's ability to arouse. As a result, Pinsky suggested, "Only watch it with someone you really like."
Gadot posted the humorous clip of Westheimer and Pinsky on Instagram on Wednesday.
"Keeping Up With the Joneses" is about a suburban couple — played by Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher — who get entangled in an international espionage plot after discovering that their new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Jones (Gadot and Hamm), are government spies.
Watch Westheimer and Pinksy promote "Keeping Up With the Joneses" — premiering in theaters on Friday, Oct. 21. — below:

Finished the beans, the crop is in.
Monthly Archives: September 2015
September 27 2015
Now that the bee season has wound down and with harvest complete, typical fall work proceeds and I am again finding myself taking evenings off. I am able to remove myself from the farm to attend social events and with that I find myself in conversation with people about beekeeping. Quite flattering that people take a interest in my chosen profession but I am finding it really difficult to actually talk about the issues without seeing that glazed eye look and the silence after the conversation as they can't follow the issues as I present them. I don't know how to approach this practically. My opinions on these issues do not follow the typical 'media' type bee issue spin. I don't talk about climate change, I don't talk about CCD, I don't talk about harmful chemicals like Neonic's, Monsanto and GMO's, and I don't talk about modern day agriculture killing off my livelihood. These issues are all people actually really know about beekeeping…and that is sad.
When I talk about beekeeping to interested people I talk about actual beekeeping…colony health, nutrition, disease and pest, floral diversity and how the seasons weather influenced my nectar flow. All my beekeeping issues are directly link to actual beekeeping issues, not "those" newspaper headlines. This kind of conversation is beekeeping and is what I focus on every year to keep my business going. It is almost like when talking to people about beekeeping without using todays spin and hype I loose my audience and attention drifts.
Beekeeping is boring, simple and basic and the perspective people have of beekeepers is as stewards of the environment. It is this perspective of the beekeeper that is being abused. There are countless special interest groups attacking Modern Agriculture and the Agribusiness Industry. They have efficiently launched a campaign linking colony loss issues with Agribusiness fronting the campaign with beekeeping issues and using beekeepers as their mules. Our image and our current hive health issues are being used to grab the attention of the world and demonstrate an attach on Agribusiness which is mostly hype and spin. Even within the beekeeping industry we see a huge difference in opinion as this counter argument I raise to our bee health issues has made me a very un popular beekeeper within discussion groups. Whether or not chemicals are negatively influencing our hives health, we have no way to actually understanding the issue as so much of the "studies" and information is tainted with opinion, agenda and out right lies. Let me provide an example of such;
I don't need to explain who Randy Oliver is, and if so, familiar yourself with him from his homepage comments found here; scientificbeekeeping.com
Headlines all over the world captured a glimps of neonics and the consequence of using them in regards to honeybee health with Dr. Lu's paper on neonics, Dr. Lu is an associate professor of environmental exposure biology in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. His paper, Distributions of neonicotinoid insecticides in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: a temporal and spatial variation analysis for pollen and honey samples.
Dr. Lu captivated headlines claiming neonic residues are causing honey bee colony collapse and killing other wildlife, the press publishing all his findings as facts.
Since then, Randy Oliver has reviewed his studdies and provided some comments in his review which can be found here; A Review of Dr. Lu's paper on neonics in Massachusetts
To quote Randy Oliver in his review;
"We still need watchdogs and activists to monitor our business and personal activities that may be contributing to environmental and health problems, and I applaud such watchdogs and activists for doing so.
But doing so also confers a responsibility not to exaggerate the facts, nor to unduly alarm the public, mislead the media, or to foment fear for fundraising purposes. Unfortunately, when I became involved in the politics of beekeeping I quickly learned how the media, in their quest for sensational stories, pander to activists and advocacy groups that are guilty of all the above. The public, which is unfortunately largely scientifically illiterate, then swallows these compelling false narratives hook, line, and sinker, leading well-intentioned folk to make poor judgments (such as going on low-fat diets, not vaccinating their kids, or worrying about the wrong things). Even worse, their misdirected activism subsequently leads to protests and public pressure on our representatives to "do something" about a problem that may be greatly exaggerated, and directs our energies away from more important environmental concerns."
"Although I fault Dr. Lu for the above, the real responsibility lies with others. We trust the editors and referees of scientific papers to recognize errors and reject papers not suitable for publication. Every one of the egregious errors that I've pointed out in Lu's papers should have been caught by his reviewers and been corrected, or been cause for the paper to be rejected for publication—this is their duty to the scientific community and the public. I'm appalled that a trusted institution such as Harvard allows its name to be associated with examples of science at its worst. And how about our media, who stoop to tabloid sensationalism by uncritically parroting this sort of unscientific nonsense upon an unsuspecting public?"
"Aug 28–I've now received a large amount of positive feedback for this review from other bee researchers; most of whom, out of professional courtesy, are hesitant to publicly criticize other scientists. I wrote the review as a call to action for scientists and editors to start cleaning up their act before the public loses all faith in the integrity of science. I hope that it makes a difference."
end of Quote.
How are we the public to understand any part of these issues when we the public can not trust the information coming from editors and scrutineers of these scientific papers? Agendas cloud the issues with false narratives which the media swoops up and spins into tabloid sensational nonsense… which then becomes true public opinion. This lack of integrity has not only gotten me concerned but more dangerously skeptical of anything I now hear being published in our papers from environmental watchdogs and activists. Our beekeeping issues are being redirected, actual problems are being ignored and because of this actual answers to our issues are being lost in all the hype. And unfortunately when I brush on these issues during casual conversation with people about beekeeping and its current issues, I get that glazed eye look and silence at the end of the conversation.

And just like that 5500-6000 tonnes of silage sits in three giant stacks. We had a big corn crop this year averaging over 20 tonnes per acre. There were placed on this farm yielding over 25 tonnes per acre!! Monster crop for our farm! With this job done we are one step away from being completely done our harvest. The beans await, very soon.
September 16 2015
Our custom Silage guys, Gilbraith Farm Services, arrived today and worked late into the night under the lights. There is a big corn crop out there this year which is keeping his trailers flying. We have our field tractor running the pile to help pack as it is coming in pretty fast. Another huge job underway, there is a buzz of excitement when these guys arrive, they put on quite the impressive show.

The hives sure are populous coming off summer production, over the next month I'll start to see a well defined winter cluster as the summer bees die off. Typically my nucs do not change size from now till I move them out in the spring whereas these production hives will shed that massive summer growth throughout the fall and slowly throughout the winter. I get very little winter shed bee drop from my Nuc isles, whereas my production hives slowly shed bees all winter. I enjoy feeding hives this time of year. Harvest is done, honey is in, the season changes to a slower pace as we prepare for winter. Cool mornings and nice days, now that the hives are fed it's time to find a seat on a field tractor and work the land.
September 14 2015
"Ian, I saw your blog post and was wondering how much syrup you have to feed per hive to get them up to weight each year?
I understand that the way you run your hives means there is little honey in the brood nest at the end of the season."
I don't weigh all my hives but I do weigh random hives to help give me an idea of how much weight the feeding has put on. My target winter weight is 95-100 lbs per single box hive. The bees consumed all the syrup set out last week which brought the average hive weight to 75-85 lbs per hive. This week we are making another round feeding half pails to bulk the hives up to my target weight. Later through September and October I'll fill one open feeder per yard every once and a while during nice days to backfill the nest on the larger hives. If I were feeding only through the pail I would probably weigh every hive and feed accordingly but I find all that fussy work determining the amount of feed needed to cap off the hive is best left to the bees and their will to gather needed syrup when I finish off the feed season with the open feeder. This get me completely away from hives that stall on the pail and waste syrup dripping through onto the ground. That first pail goes quick, the last is slow and messy. With my open fed yards I count the litres fed and top them off with the estimated amount of feed needed to bring the yard up to weight.

DRI scientists are urgentily working to discover a biological cure for the millions living with diabetes.
Learn more
Mouse over an image and click to learn more about how we are finding a biological cure.
The DRI BioHub is a bioengineered "mini organ" that mimics the native pancreas. It contains real insulin-producing cells that can sense blood sugar and release the precise amount of insulin needed - in real time.
Restoring immune system balance to protect insulin-producing cells and prevent the recurrence of the autoimmune process, which mistakenly destroys a person's own cells.
Learn More
Indentifying, developing and/or regenerating a limitless supply of cells to sense glucose levels and produce insulin.
Protective barriers that conform to the individual size and shape of each islet and allow the free flow of nutrients, glucose and insulin while screening out harmful immune system cells.
Three dimensional structure provides spacing and a physical site, similar to the native pancreas, that can be monitored and modified, and retrieved, if necessary.
Oxygen-generating materials provide the critical oxygen needed until new blood vessels grow.
Local delivery of low-dose drugs directly into the site can reduce inflammation and protect islets from an immune attack, with the goal of eliminating systemic anti-rejection drugs.
Certain cells in the body that have beneficial properties can be added to help promote long-term islet survival.
Advancing promising research and moving cutting-edge therapies to patients.
A cure would mean restoring natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels without imposing other risks.
DRI clinical trials are already dramatically improving the lives of people with type 1 diabetes who are now living insulin free.
As we continue to develop the DRI BioHub, a 'mini-organ' delivering insulin in real time, we are working to eliminate the need for anti rejection drugs, block autoimmunity, and create more insulin-producing cells. But continuing this research is only possible with your support.

It was great to see so much effort put into the planning of this event by Kate, the sister of the mama-to-be. The macarons were provided by Dora from BoBo Macarons and the pom pom detailing was provided by The Pom Pom Factory. The Pelham proved to be a perfect venue, providing a serene setting for this event, despite being right in the heart of busy South Kensington.
Kate got in touch after the event to say the following: "Many many thanks for yesterday, the sweetie table looked amazing and everyone loved it! I can't wait to see the professional pictures. The event went perfectly and it was a magical day for my sister :))"

Nicaragua readies for general strike
Nicaragua awoke Wednesday to relative normality with markets and retail stores open for business ahead of the 24-hour general strike set to take place Thursday.
The strike's goal is to pressure President Daniel Ortega to end the violence attached to protests that began nearly two months ago, as well as force Ortega to restart a dialogue with the opposition. A church-organized dialogue in mid-May collapsed shortly after it began.
The violence, which has drawn global condemnation, has resulted in 42 deaths, according to government sources, though Nicaraguan human rights organization (Cenidh) put the figure at 149, according to a DPA report.
Many Nicaraguans are calling for Ortega's resignation in light of violent actions by paramilitary forces supporting the government.
Strike supporters are calling on a complete stoppage of all economic activities Thursday, including trade, tourism, freight transport and public transportation, starting at midnight local time.
The violence and protests have begun to have a significant effect on the nation's economy, leading central bank president Ovidio Reyes to cut the bank's GDP growth outlook for 2018 to between 3.0% and 3.5% from between 4.5% and 5.0% in a statement made May 21.
Reyes made the new forecast on May 21 and the central bank has not since updated its estimate.
Pictured: An elderly woman sells clothes at a stall in Managua's largest market, Mercado Oriental.
Situated in the heart of Nicaragua's capital, the chaotic Mercado Oriental market - which was open for business Wednesday, according to DPA - generates tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars, providing a measure of the country's economic pulse that vendors say is now beating at a snail's pace.
Costa Rica slows
The Costa Rican central bank said the country's monthly economic activity indicator (IMAE) slowed in April to 2.8% year-on-year growth.
The April IMAE came in 0.2 points below that recorded in the same month in 2017, "the product of deceleration in growth in the majority of economic activities, particularly financial and insurance activities, professional services and trade, as well as agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing, which combined explain 92.5% of the deceleration of the general indicator," according the central bank report.
The slowdown in financial services is related to weaker lending in trade operations and financing for new automobiles, while the agriculture sector was effected by a drop in banana production, the bank said.
Costa Rica recorded 3.2% GDP growth in 2017, and the monetary authority projected a 3.6% expansion for this year in its annual economic outlook report.

Amazing piece of perl regular expression mastery..
perl -e '$i=$ARGV[0];$i++while("."x$i)=~/^(..+?)\1+$/;print"$i\n" _input number_
The output will be the next possible prime number inclusive of the number itself.
for example:
$ perl -e '$i=$ARGV[0];$i++while("."x$i)=~/^(..+?)\1+$/;print"$i\n"' 8
$ perl -e '$i=$ARGV[0];$i++while("."x$i)=~/^(..+?)\1+$/;print"$i\n"' 7
Each time a number is input the number. A string of "."'s with length equal to the input number is generated.
$ perl -e 'print "."x$ARGV[0]\n;'
To understand what "."x$i does.
$ perl -e 'print "."x$ARGV[0];' 4
now here is the master piece...
(..+?) matches the smallest possible string of dots (>=2) in the generated string (remember "."x$i) which can be repeated to match the generated string. The ? makes sure that the search is not greedy.
Repetition is achieved by \1+
which says repeat the last matched pattern (\1) at least once (+).
Now smallest possible factoring number is achieved only for non-primes.
Any prime number will not have any string of dots which can be repeated atleast 2 times. Hence the match ("."x$i=~/^(..+?)\1+$/) will fail and while will not increment $i.

Mongol Empire
As the largest land empire in history, the Mongol Empire plays an important role in the history of colonialism in China. This section gives an overview of Genghis Khan and the Mongol conquest of China.
In late 1100's Genghis Khan, a Mongol chieftain who was formerly called Temujin became the main force in unifying and organizing the scattered Mongol and other tribes into a powerful alliance. Perceived as ambitious, shrewd, ruthless, strict and a disciplinarian, Genghis Khan developed a path of conquest and thus, created a forceful, best-disciplined and most effective army in that time. The Army was the most important institution of the Mongol state.
On of the main desire of Genghis Khan was to conquer China. For reaching this, the attack was aimed first at Xi Xia, which was a state along the northwestern border of China. Representing the Chinese military pattern with Chinese-trained armies and Chinese-built fortresses, Xi Xia further served as a training for Genghis Khan to establish strategies again the Chinese.
After subduing Xi Xia after three massive invasions in 1205, 1207 and 1209, the Mongols turned to North China, where the Jin Dynasty was ruling. After capturing the major cities of Jin, Zhongdu, which is currently Beijing, more and more area in the north of the Yellow River were dominated by the Mongols. Furthermore, Genghis Khan established 'Khanbaliq' (city of the Khan) and made it the Mongol capital in China.
The Mongol conquest of North China took several decades and was not completed until 1234, after Genghis Khan's death.
Genghis Khan died in 1227 and his grandson Kublai Khan was appointed to be the new Khan, leader of the Mongols.
Kublai Khan completed the conquest of North China, Kublai Khan unified the vast land of the northern areas and founded a new dynasty in 1271, the Yuan Dynasty. By broadening the attack the South, the Mongols furthermore occupied South China. Kublai Khan launched fierce attacks against the southern Song Dynasty in 1726 and defeated the Song Dynasty. When the last emperor of Song committed suicide in 1279, the Mongols achieved their goal of conquering entire China.

text: I am in love with this cheesecake. It was very therapeutic to create, with such pure and straightforward ingredients: the creaminess meeting the lemon zest, served with another level of deliciousness by the homemade caramel sauce being poured over the tender cake. I also love eating a cool dessert in the middle of a hot summer, and up the ice cream factor by freezing it first then serving. Give it a try. You will be wishing you made a double batch.

This week's post is contributed by marketing consultant John A. Murphy. -- PWH
A serious mistake managers often make when planning to engage the services of a marketing consultant is to insist upon previous industry-specific experience. This article will explain why such experience is of minimal value to the client (as well as the consultant) and often, even DANGEROUS for the client.
At the outset, an important distinction needs to be made between "industry specific experience" and "industry specific knowledge." It might be a valuable exercise to ask: "What is it I expect a marketing consultant with "industry specific experience" to bring to the equation besides marketing capabilities?"
You should expect such a person to be familiar with the "key players" (competitors, customers and distribution chains-where applicable). She should also have a handle on industry trends (e.g. technological developments/innovations through trade associations, government contacts, industry "gurus" and trade press) and she should have an historical knowledge of how the macro environment (e.g. inflation, trade policy, etc.) affects the industry.
The truth is, after you meet with a consultant and she endeavors to understand your problems and expectations, she should return not only ready to make an "abstract" marketing proposal as to how she can meet your expectations, but she must do so in the context of such "industry specific" knowledge. Note, I said KNOWLEDGE, not experience.
How does the consultant come by such knowledge without corresponding experience? This is part of the "stock-in-trade" of the consultant. Secondary marketing research is a basic skill of everyone in the marketing profession. We all know how to check with the Commerce Department, trade associations, trade press and the basic library business indices, or turn on our computers and enter an electronic data base. We also know enough to call a few competitors and customers to get an even better feel for what is going on.
What we do not try to do is become a technical expert on the design or application of the devices a given company may manufacture. Odd as it may seem, the actual device that a company makes is not the first concern of a marketing expert. Remember, R&D, engineering and production are concerned with making devices; marketing, however, makes the product, and it is the product, not the device, that customers purchase.
Furthermore, one of the major reasons to engage someone from outside the company and industry is for their OBJECTIVITY. A "marketing consultant" with prior industry-specific experience runs a DANGEROUS RISK for the client in two ways:
First, the consultant's previous "pertinent experience" may have dulled his/her objectivity. She may often have the tendency to shoot from the hip using a gun loaded with "instant answers." Familiarity may breed not only contempt but also marketing myopia. Second, years of "industry specific experience" often comes at the expense of a depth in MARKETING experience. The trade-off is usually in the form of "doing the right thing" for "doing things right". Of course, in marketing no room exists for such a trade-off. Yet such trade-offs are often made when one is focused on the present and not the future (in terms of profitability performance).
A case in point should illustrate this clearly: When Apple Computer needed to replace Steve Jobs, they did not tap IBM, HP, TI or even Tandy. They did not even go to industry-allied companies like Intel or NEC. In fact, they went to a company not even considered to be part of the "high-tech" culture. They took John Sculley from Pepsi! Mr. Sculley knew little about computers going in, but he was quite an accomplished MARKETING expert.
[Note: In the opinion of many Apple fans, Scully took Apple down the wrong path. Nevertheless, John's point is well taken. Under Scully, Apple was more profitable than it is now. –PH]
Another, perhaps more down-to-earth, reason why a marketing consultant avoids "industry-specific experience" can be illustrated by the following scenario: A marketing consultant is engaged by company "A" in the "XYZ" industry, completes the assignment and then is engaged by company "B" a direct competitor of company "A". (The consultant now has full knowledge of financial and trade secrets.) Company "B" might think it is about to get one up on its competitor until it realizes that it will be in the same position should the consultant return to company "A" or be engaged by yet another competitor.
The marketing consultant is aware of this dilemma and assiduously avoids it (nondisclosure contracts notwithstanding). The marketing consultant thus realizes that too much experience in any given industry could be the "kiss of death" for his own business.
A final word about Industrial Marketing Consultants and marketing expertise. All marketing consultants develop their expertise by specializing in certain areas of marketing — industrial, consumer, or the service
industry. Sometimes their field may be quite narrow; e.g., mergers/acquisitions, personnel, marketing information systems, etc. Within all areas of specialties there is, however, a shared expertise. All need to know certain fundamentals, on the one hand: how to conduct the market audit, fully understand the fine points of "OBJECTIVE/STRATEGY/TACTIC" – the dialectical nature of the marketing process. On the other hand they also need to have such expertise in operational activities as when to use tools like conjoint analysis or multi-dimensional scaling, even which algorithm within these "tools" will yield the best results. Moreover, the Marketing expertise of the consultant should be revealed by his membership in such professional associations as the certifying body called "The Institute of Management Consultants" as well as the "American Marketing Association" and the "American Management Association."
What I am saying, essentially, is this: a truly professional marketing consultant would never, by definition, also be an expert in a specific industry.—John A. Murphy

March, the lion and the lamb
Grandma would be proud of me. She always used to say 'you are never too old to learn something new.' Well, today I did just that. You see, I always thought the saying 'March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb' means that March begins with the promise of spring and ends with wintry, cold and wet weather. Today I learned that 'lion' in this instance means 'winter' and 'lamb' means 'spring'. Well, blow me down! […] Continue reading»
'Tis the season of peace on earth and goodwill to all
Christmas. The holiday season. A season of "peace on earth and goodwill to all men." A time when we send cards and messages to friends, family and loved ones to wish them love, happiness, peace, blessings, joy and prosperity. Like many people these days, I don't send so many cards anymore. It is a dying tradition, what with electronic cards, emails, Facebook and so many other social media platforms. I have my core list though to whom I send regularly, […] Continue reading»
A Glorious Summer of hazy, lazy, crazy days
Summer, glorious summer! I can go into raptures about summer. Hints of summer stir in me when I sense its approach in the tell-tale quality of light on a crisp, bright February day. The child in me delights when the cherry blossoms bloom in abandon. It reminds me of spring in South Africa. Orchard upon orchard of peach treas in bloom and the promise of luscious, juicy, mouth-watering yellow cling peaches; ready for picking and eating straight off the tree. […] Continue reading»

Am sure many of you would have seen it, had a good laugh, frowned or got grossed out.
Well, i was grossed out.
Being hygienic is one thing and being obsessed with "white" is another.
And comparison with coffee, i mean, who does that man, it's against mankind.
I really don't understand the whole obsession with becoming fair (read white). Everything HAS to make you fair, creams, talcum powders, deodorants, body lotions...soon they'll advertise biscuits and cereals with tag line going, it makes you fair. =|
So much of fair is unfair. How can you say fair is beautiful, who declared that, i say fair is ugly (refer to Robert Pattinson). We have enough ways of discriminating people. And it's not like it is anybody's personal choice, its the same as somebody's sex, its not like they have chosen it, nobody controls the melanin content of their body. (Amount of melanin in your body decides your color, which is again a gene game).
And like this whole cover-your-face-with-flour-to-look-fair wasn't enough, they launch this new "private part" cleaner with the most inappropriate ad (can't say ever, 'coz i really don't understand Hritik Roshan dancing to sell Hide n Seek). Girls do enough and spend enough on cosmetics and parlors to get the perfect look, this wasn't exactly the need of the hour. TV serials are anyways doing there bit in contributing to the color bias prevalent in the society ( refer Bidaai...sapna babul ka, i think that was the name of the serial), we do not need such products in the market.
People have to stop obsessing with color, it hardly matters. A girl need not look spotless white to be called beautiful,beauty is what she is inside, her thoughts, the way she holds herself that makes her pretty. White skin-u girl girl, girl heart-u black, even Dhanush said it (for those who don't know what am talking about, which world do you live in; those lines are from the song Kolaveri Di, sung by Dhanush).
For that ad, am sure the "white-ness" of *coughs* wouldn't have stopped any couple from love making, it would bother them now,not a major percentage though (am hoping). Color between emotions is not good, color in emotions is.
And not just love making, but drinking coffee too would be affected. =|
And for a guy, well there is a reason girls go gaga over the mills and boon cliche', tall & dark makes a guy handsome.
Even Micheal Jackson said i, "It don't matter, if you are black or white"
And even Lady Gaga, "you are beautiful in your way, 'coz GOD makes no mistakes, am on the right track baby, i am born this way"
(chose your star, there is one for every generation :-P)

The Christian Democrats for the Republic (Cristiani Democratici per la Repubblica, CDR) was a Christian-democratic Italian political party.
The party was formed in February 1998 as a splinter group from the Christian Democratic Centre (CCD). Their leader was Clemente Mastella, until then President of that party.
In June 1998 CDR joined Francesco Cossiga, the United Christian Democrats (CDU) of Rocco Buttiglione, the Patto Segni of Mario Segni, the Liberal Party of Stefano De Luca and many spliters from Forza Italia, National Alliance and Lega Nord to form the Democratic Union for the Republic (UDR).
In February 1999, when UDR split between supporters of Cossiga and supporters of Mastella, the core of the former CDR entered in the new Union of Democrats for Europe (UDEUR), then evolved in UDEUR Populars.

Remember when we were kids and we had rub-on tattoos? How much fun it was to proudly sport your little fake ink?
Well, our friends at Endovisible have teamed up with a designer and created Endo Awareness temporary tattoos. The funds raised go to their EndoPOST Snail Mail campaign, which offers comfort and support to women with Endometriosis who are recovering from surgeries, miscarriages, etc.
If you'd like one, they're $2.00 each and shipping is only $0.50.
PS – Mom if you're reading this, I bought us each one in case you wanted to sport some ink in March 😉 We can wash it off before you head home.

At around 2.40, John Lewis arrived with the package. A surprisingly slim box that was easy to open although I don't reckon we'll be able to store it anywhere in the house - it's just too big!!)
The surprise was the weight of the pedestal stand, which seemed to weigh as much as the TV itself. Any way a few minutes later with David's help, it was in position. A few minutes more and it had tuned itself into all the analogue and satellite (FreeView) channels. FreeView didn't take long as it couldn't find a suitable signal - a job for the aerial man tomorrow!!!
Anyway, I hooked up the Sky box and WOW! what a picture!!! Stunning colours and very sharp too (and this ISN'T High Definition).
Ann was late home, but we stayed up and re-watched 'Gladiator' starring Russell Crowe - the film seemed even more impressive on a bigger screen.
So, if you're reading this and thinking 'should I buy a new TV', I'd say, buy one like this, you won't be disappointed!!

From the popular ABC radio (Australian) segment, Spotless: Room-by-room solutions to domestic disasters by Shannon Lush (and Jennifer Fleming). My book was found for $20 NZ at a Binn Inn (wholesale foods store).
I wanted to see this book ever since I heard it mentioned. The tools for cleaning any stain or mishap, according to where it happened (or what it happened on) are often natural products such as baking soda (bicarb), vinegar, glycerine and so on. Anyways, it's stain removal with expert knowledge.
From their intro: "There are a couple of tricks with stain removal. Firstly, don't panic and put something on the stain that could make it worse. Work out what's in the stain. Then work out what the solvent is. If there are several components to the stain, you must remove the protein part first, then fats, then any chemical or biological dyes, and then any resins or glues. The way to work this out is to remember that proteins are anything animal or seed based, fats are greasy between your fingers, and resins and glues are not water soluble. If you're not sure, clean with cold water first, then use hot water, then any solvents..."
Here are my top 3!
1 new red wine on carpet
"Cover the stain with a good amount of bicarb [baking soda] and let dry for a few seconds. Then vaccuum and re-apply a smaller amount of bicarb, add a little vinegar and scrub with a nylon brush. Leave to dry, then vacuum."
2 coffee or tea on fabric
"For fresh stains, use glycerine applied with a cotton ball, then wash in washing powder."
3 permanent pen on fabric
"You'll need to do this very carefully and quickly. Apply some dry cleaning fluid to a cotton bud and write over the permanent pen while also quickly wiping the dry-cleaning fluid off with a cotton ball, replacing it often. You could also spray Aerogard [aerosol insect repellant] or hairspray, and wipe off with a cloth. Be careful with fabric and test a patch first."
There was also a rotting milk method for ink stains on fabric - apparently placing the milk solids on an ink stain can bring the ink up, then you can wash it away.
P.S. After getting re-inspired about baking soda from flipping through this book, I tried a baking soda paste (and a cloth) to clean a friend's ceramic stove-top. It worked a charm.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
PSS (Dec 8) - Just now we spilled a few drops of red wine on the carpet. We used the advice from Spotless: dropped some baking soda onto the red spots first. Some of the white powder instantly turned browny black, and then we vaccuumed it away. We added a bit more baking soda, and some vinegar onto it, which bubbled. Savannah used a regular dish washing brush to scrub the soda in further, I pinched more on - and when it dries we will vacuum again. Beats scrubbing with energy for 10 minutes - and I already can see no red.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
More background on the book from the ABC store:
Shannon Lush is the 'sensei' of stain removal.
Her admiring radio audience around the country have complete confidence in her encyclopedic knowledge of the repair of stains, scratches and other disfigurements as the final word on surviving messy household emergencies.
This book came about through James Valentine and his radio program on 702 ABC Sydney. He asked listeners to ring in if they were having problems fixing a spill or stain around the house and then invited other listeners to give their solutions. One day Shannon rang in and answered every question. She became a regular guest and is now heard on similar ABC Radio programs around the country. 'Spotless' is published in response to clamorous listener demand.
If you have ever washed a jumper in the machine and horribly shrunk it, burnt a pan to obliteration or had your pet mess the white wool carpet, you will be pleased to know that there are solutions to these and many other problems. Each chapter in Spotless addresses a particular room in the house or outside area so it is simple to use and incredibly useful.
The section listing inexpensive and easily obtainable ingredients to keep on hand is unique and indispensable. Especially now that Shannon clearly explains exactly how to use them.
Whatever the problem: a filthy oven, a tea stain on the mattress, ink on the lino or just some useful hints on cleaning problem areas such as doors or window sills, Shannon has no-nonsense advice that will work.

Chin Chin
White Suede top, Topshop necklace, Sportsgirl leggings & heels
Over the weekend I decided to test my luck and head to Chin Chin (a strictly-walk-in) restaurant in the city, which I have previously attempted to wait for a table, more than once.. This time I got in after merely an hour's wait (that is after arriving at 5.30pm.. hmm). Nonetheless it was certainly worth the wait!
It was a warm day so decided to wear this White Suede sheer top, loving the extra length at the back as it adds a bit of fun to the overall outfit. I'm usually not a fan of pop out colours but figured these heels perfectly fit the occasion - smart casual (FYI they are so comfy!)
Check out my INSTAGRAM to see a couple of my favourite cocktails from the night and get updated!

Washington D.C: The US intelligence community has called for courts to compel citizens to turn over "all past, current and future hand-written notes" to US authorities.
The US Supreme Court reacted with 'great surprise' after the request, which would essentially render all written correspondence the 'temporary property of the US intelligence community' until stated otherwise.
The shock move follows concerns by the Trump Administration that the electronic monitoring of citizens' communication does not go far enough in preventing potential terrorist attacks.
Last week, the CIA suggested that in a bid to thwart government surveillance of their activities, terrorists could be "passing hand-written notes to one another" to communicate, rather than using mobile phones or computers.
In a statement yesterday, an FBI spokesperson echoed these concerns, saying it was in the "vital national security interests" of governments around the world to consider similar legislation in order to "take the War on Terror" to the "next logical phase".
However, the calls have prompted outrage among privacy groups and civil libertarians who say it is "unconscionable" to request such private information.
A spokesman for a California-based civil rights group said that the "Orweillian" Patriot Act and the "sobering reality of CCTV cameras on every street corner" meant that citizens' privacy rights had already been "stripped bare".
"Why not just kick in people's doors and put cameras in all of the rooms of their houses? It would be less tedious, and probably just as legal," a spokesman for the group said.
Germany, Canada, Australia and France are considering similar laws amid an overhaul of how intelligence agencies collect citizens' data.
Australia's Attorney-General, George Brandis, recently said the country's metadata collection laws were "perhaps not going far enough" and that ASIO – the Federal Government's main intelligence arm – should also collect "hand-written notes".
"In the War on Terror, no one is safe, so it's absolutely necessary to take precautionary measures like this," he said in Canberra on Friday.
When a journalist remarked that such a move would breach the Australia Privacy Act, Brandis replied that the country's revamped anti-terrorism laws supersede the Act and that "people should not worry if they have nothing to hide".
