Has anyone ever been the subject of one of those "You were the girl/boy who got on the bus at..." ty
The Metro seems to run this intermittantly. Here's an excerpt from last week:
"To the lovely lady with the dark brown hair and fantastic smile who catches the 220 bus and gets off in Infirmary Street at about 7.15am. I let you out of your seat and you gave me a beaming smile. Make my day and let me know that you're interested.
Dave, Leeds"
Now laying aside the fact that zxcvbnm's a married man, doesn't this just scream STALKER!!!
I mean, if you were single, wouldn't you just RUN IN FEAR from this sort of thing? Even funnier is the thought of people misinterpretting these things if they ARE interested and trying to hit on random strangers.
Yeah yeah
We belive you; thousands wouldn't.
pe things?
My title was either truncated or I got distracted halfway through writing...
they have these in Venue
called 'I saw you', but it was overrun with hate so they also have 'I'm sore at you'. Mainly running angsty messages between motorists and cyclists and residents and students. aw.
And no.
I think I'd quite like it
Let's see how you feel:
'Were you the man in the glasses who struggled to get his calves through the door of the Northern Line tube train at 7.34am yesterday? If so, I like the way you controlled your laptop that early in the morning. Let's hook up and I can see if you love Babylon 5 as much as me. I was the fat lass with the purple hair and the crotchless tights. I think you noticed me when my arse knocked your glasses off. Call me xxx'
Got a boner yet?
Yeah, it's true
You totally failed on that score. Ah well, next time.
you know full well i am anti-morning tubes, you git.
I can't imagine a context
in which I'd place or reply to one of these adverts.
I guess there might be circumstances in which people might and I don't want tto knock it too much but it does seem a little over-keen and stalkerish.
I wonder if in the history of ever
in the whole world one of these has ever led to a marrige, its sad you'd like to believe that two strangers could meet like that but in reality it's well creepy
i was going to agree with you
but you just made that impossible.
they're like the "i saw you" things in the list
which are basically the exact same thing. except once someone did once with postal service lyrics, awww.
i LOVE personal ads though
they're my favourite part of any paper.
"bitter, cynical drunk seeks supermodel for backrubs and abuse."
i've got kate moss giving me a massage right now
the stupid bitch.
Yep, for sure. bamos trails.
i'm sure you meant to say
I have been the subject of one of these!
But it was on a band message board, not in Metro.
Turned out we had mutual friends, so wasn't as completely random as someone stranger on the bus I spose but was still a little weird...
Wow. Did you like him?
Or did you have to break his little heart?
I had no idea who he was.
After posting the message, he tracked me down on myspace. Nice guy, we're still friends.
Fair enough.
I don't think I'd ever place one of those things. I readily admit that this is just as much through lack of courage as it is through feeling strange about doing it.
How do you lot actually meet potential partners? Are you introduced by your parents?
This thread is so Daily Mail.
You speak to someone
Human interaction.
I think the place for slient crushes on someone purely because they have a nice smile or face is school. Well if you take them this seriously, they are.
Personality's the thing and you find that out by talking to someone.
In most cases with these "I saw you ads"...
...it's a late attempt at action by someone who failed to do what was necessary to initiate conversation at the time.
But Traynor has a point. I'm hopeless at meeting potential partners so maybe the people who post these things are right and I'm wrong. Who knows?
You're right about the 'I saw you and we spoke' type
but most of the ones here seem to be people who are regularly on the same bus and yet have never managed to say a word.
Dunno, I'm not saying these people ARE stalkers, just that it reads really worryingly...
but in that case
it's surely just a method to intiate speaking to someone? it's not as if the ad suggests immediate marriage or something.
But surely the ideal time to initiate speaking to someone is when you actually see them, not later
I readily admit I'm god-awful at doing so but I still believe it to be the case.
in a perfect world, sure
but it's not that simple, which is why a majority of hook ups happen in places where things like alcohol are in easy supply.
I know.
As I suspect is the case with many single men, the number of women I see around the place and wish I had the courage/ability to strike up a conversation with is pretty high. But I still think that, once you've not done so and they've gone, it's probably too late and you're better off moving on and learning the next time you see somebody else.
Well except that it sets a totally different mindset
If you did speak to someone for no real reason, bearing in mind half of the ones posted are from oop-North where talking to a stranger on the bus won't necessarily get you maced, I think you'd get farther.
The amount of detail here shows a certain amount of obsession that would just colour the object of the viewing's mind, surely?
noticing someone's hair colour and the fact that they have a nice smile?
c'mon, it's hardly like he's included her address, which window is her bedroom, what she eats for breakfast and when she takes her first toilet break, is it?
Detail is included to help with recognition.
It is interesting that you mention the north of England, where talking and smiling at "starngers" is considered the norm, whereas down south it is considered an assault, apparently.
Well I was being slightly tongue-in-cheek but yes, my experience of Manchester buses comparitive to London ones would certainly suggest people are much more likely to have a chat with a stranger.
Completely true.
The cliomate of fear and suspicion in London took me ages to get acclimatised to.
I give up.
How often do you place these ads, JDT?
Daily? Weekly?
Daft reply
The point is that some people here seem to think that two strangers, on a bus, train, wherever, are not allowed to communicate with oneanother. Do you not know the Sinatra song 'Strangers In The Night'? Simple glances like that between strangers can be thrilling, and is completely the opposite of one person leering at another.
But surely the point is that the people placing these ads are not communicating with the other perso
If they did communicate with the other person they'd acquire (if other person was interested) some sort of contact information and not have to post these ads.
Ads are bad
Too keen. I was talking generally and not necessarily about such ads.
Well the rest of us weren't.
So, bye then.
POTD, Traynor.
To the lovely lady who works in reception in the x-ray department at Heath hospital
I was NOT looking at your breasts. Ok, accidentally I did once, but that was just because you were sat down and I was practically stood over you. I was trying to look you in the eye, ok? So, yeah, sorry if you did think I was looking at your breasts even though I only did once and as I explained that was an accident. Ok?
Actually this one's even better:
"To the really tall guy who gets on the X84 in Otley, at the stop nearest the Yeoman pub. You must be at least 6ft 2in and sometimes wear a duffle coat in winter. You have little sideburnes and mid-brown hair that gets a bit scraggy before you cut it short again. I always wonder what you're reading and whether you're single. You look so thoughtful and sweet.
Helen, Leeds"
Jesus...how long has she been watching this guy? If I was this man I'd be reaching for some sort of restraining order.
Right, Dave?
apologies for misspellings there
like 'sideburnes'. Bugger.
You'd think
that if she'd been following the poor guy round for 6 months, she'd just get off her arse and talk to him.
some people have problems with that
at the best of times, so what the fuck do you talk to someone on a bus about?
ask him what he's reading
^ fairly obvious starting point
a whole lot less effort than putting a plea in a paper that he may/may not read
though she'd probably have a fair idea given the circumstances
I love in when that happens
By 'hump in the road', you ARE referring to Guntrip jaywalking, right?
Is that Guntrip's surname?
Guntrip Jaywalking.
Best name ever.
middle name
my fullname is Guntrip Jaywalking Pissedoffforsomereasonrightnow. Not quite as catchy, I'm afraid.
do you like bus journeys then?'
'Hi! Couldn't help but notice that you're on a bus! Me too!'
Me: 'Cars eh? They suck!'
Her: 'I've been banned for driving'
Me: 'Oh! Well, buses are much better for the environment anyway!'
Her: 'This is my first day out of prison since accidentally running over my partner when drunk driving'.
Me: 'So... you're single then?'
you have redeemed yourself
for the stupid X post. yay thewarn!
I dunno
you try to find something in common? Like this guy reads a lot apparently. How about getting the same book as him and then talking to him about it?
Or else just getting off at his stop one time and falling over him.
Christ this is a guy a woman's after. If she wants him to notice her she could just flash him her breasts and half the war's won. I'll admit that if it were the other way around it could be tricky...
I wonder if that's immortalised anywhere on http://www.bash.org - it probably should be. :D
I'm still on there (twice) from 4/5 years ago !
you talking about warhammer?
they were from Planetarion channels, which is probably worse!
Oh the memories...
i don't know what this
clearly far too geeky even for me
this happened to me once
Someone actually spent 20quid on a 'Once seen..' ad in Time Out in order to meet a random stranger they'd seen on a train (ie me)
It was very odd, especially as I was tripping my nuts off at the time this person saw me
I never responded to the ad though...
clearly no-one cares
ho and hum
should just point out that had the ad clearly stated that the person wishing to find me was female then I probably would have responded but it didn't so I didn't....
I didn't really know what to say except "You fool" but then you had met her already, right?
Or had they not even announced themselves to you. It could have been a SUPERMODEL!
I had no idea who it was
I'd been in Cambridge with a couple of mates for their MA graduation ceremony and we'd been dropping acid so I was just sat on the train on the way back with my shades on grinning at everyone - it could have been anyone - whoever it was spotted me when I got on the tube at King's Cross
they wrote
"to the beautiful boy with the british airways bag - I want to see the eyes behind those dark glasses"
Well, you know, who wouldn't?
You were clearly a fool.
we'll never know
one of the guys who was with me in cambridge was the one who spotted the ad - I thought for a while that it was just a wind-up
yeah, foolish
I've always been curious about that one...
to the balding bloke
at Manchester Oxford Road, waiting for the 15:41 to Liverpool. I know by the seruptitious glance you gave the rest of us after you put your hand down your trousers and scratched your bum that you think you got away with it, but you didn't.
Should we have said the other night?
I thought it best to keep quiet.
I'm with Theo on this one. If I met someone who I was interested in, even as a friend, I'd find out at the time how to get in touch with them again.
If it's someone that's been watching you from afar, why haven't they spoken to you?
Cos the opposite sex scares the bejesus
out of them?

Paneer dishes are often ordered in restaurants and most of the time it is Paneer Makhni that gets chosen. Paneer Makhni is a tomato based gravy dish that includes cream and cashew nuts along with butter that goes well with hot buttery rotis. The paneer can be substituted with chicken to make Chicken Makhni.
My friend who is a Filipino loved Paneer Makhni and would ask me to make it for her. But I was not confident of making it from scratch, then. So I was happy to find a pack of Sanjeev Kapoor's readymade masala for Paneer Makhni at an Indian store nearby and tried it. Thankfully, it came out well and she loved it. Today, I wish we stayed in the same place like before, just so I could share this dish with her. This Paneer "Mac"ni (that's how she pronounced it) goes to "J", my funny friend.
Paneer - 200 gms
Tomato - 3, medium
Cashew nuts - 10 to 12
Onion - 1, small
Capsicum - 1/2, small
Garlic - 5 cloves
Cinnamon - 1 small piece
Bay leaf - 1
Turmeric pwd - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli pwd - 1 tsp
Thin Cream - 3 tbsp
Kasuri Methi - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Butter - 2 tbsp
Slice the paneer in big blocks and apply little oil on both sides. Cut the onion is wedges and separate the layers. Dice the capsicum in 1 inch squares.
Wash the tomatoes and lightly make cuts only the skin of each tomato from top to bottom. Heat a small saucepan with water and dunk the tomatoes in it. When the water boils take it off heat and peel the skin off the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, garlic, cashew nuts into a blender jar and blend to a fine paste.
Heat a ridge griddle, and grill the paneer turning both sides so that grill lines are made on both sides of each slice. Remove from pan and let it drain onto paper towels. Add the capsicum and onion pieces and sauté and when they turn glossy,take off the heat.
Heat oil and butter in a pan and when hot add the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. After a few seconds add the ground tomato cashew nut paste and on medium heat sauté this paste till the oil separates and the raw smell of garlic goes. When the masala mix is fried add the turmeric and red chilli powders and sauté. Add a little water and salt and mix. Add the paneer, onion and capsicum pieces and mix well. Let it cook for 5 minutes and then add the thin cream and kasuri methi leaves and mix well.
Serve hot with rotis.

SummerSlam is referred to as "The Biggest Party of the Summer" by many members of the WWE Universe. This is mostly because it is exactly that. It is also the biggest pay-per-view following WrestleMania, and one that the company knows has to deliver.
This year was no different and it seems that of the 13 matches on the card for SummerSlam last night, almost all of them delivered for the crowd inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Every WWE Championship was on the line, except for The Miz's Intercontinental Championship which will perhaps be on the line tonight instead, but even from the kick off show with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships on the line, it seems that WWE had already set the tone for the night.
WWE had to follow a hugely successful NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III card that saw some of the best matches NXT has ever produced as well as some hard hitting debuts. Rumours circulating around WWE had given fans a lot of hope, as The Undertaker was seemingly spotted heading to New York, but in the end, WWE's main roster decided to not count on returns or debuts and instead allowed the show to be about the stories that the superstars were telling inside the ring.
Of course, WWE didn't get everything right last night so the following list looks at all of the things that WWE managed to get wrong at what could now be a history-making SummerSlam event and a few things they also got right.
15 Wrong: The Cruiserweight Championship Changed Hands On The Preshow
It wasn't so much the fact that Neville managed to reclaim his Cruiserweight Championship as he unveiled his incredible new white attire, it was the fact that once again WWE decided to relegate the Cruiserweight match to the pre-show.
WWE have been complaining for a number of weeks about the fact that the WWE Universe isn't taking an interest in 205 Live anymore and the ratings have dropped on the Network, and then they can't even find a place for the Championship match on the main card. It seems that WWE could be standing in its own way when it comes to the Cruiserweights because Akira Tozawa and Neville still managed to have a fantastic match regardless of their positioning on the card. It is unknown why WWE decided to play hot potato with the Championship that Tozawa had only just won, but it will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
14 Wrong: John Cena Defeated Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin is a former Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale winner. He was once touted as the future of WWE and a surefire future WWE Champion, which is why it was so predictable that he would win this year's Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
Over the past week, Corbin has gone from having a shot at the WWE Championship in his grasp, to losing to Jinder Mahal and John Cena in succession to now leave him with no real place on the SmackDown roster. It is thought that Corbin has a lot of heat backstage in WWE right now and WWE made these decisions to knock him back down to size. Cena is at the point in his career where he doesn't need to be defeating the likes of Baron Corbin, so a victory over him does little for Cena but manages to push Corbin completely over the edge when it comes to his SmackDown Live career.
13 Right: The Miztourage Recorded A Win On Pay-Per-View
It seemed as though it was an afterthought for WWE to decide to put Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel in a stable with The Miz, just because it seemed that the duo had nothing better to do on WWE TV because WWE had nothing for them.
After their feud with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose came to an end, The Miz and his two sidekicks were easily steamrolled by Brock Lesnar a few weeks ago, so that he could send a message to his SummerSlam opponents, before they then decided to anger Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, which has kick-started a feud between Miz and his son Jason Jordan. The Miztourage kicked off SummerSlam as the first match on the kickoff show, which has had many fans questioning who Miz managed to annoy this time, but at least a pay-per-view win over Jordan and The Hardys will give them something to cling onto moving forward.
12 Wrong: Rusev Was Pinned In Just Ten Seconds
For the many WWE fans who are new to the product and saw Rusev pinned last night in just ten seconds, there was once a time when Rusev was seen as The Bulgarian Brute. He was accompanied by The Ravishing Russian Lana and he managed to go on a lengthy undefeated streak, one that came to an end at the hands of John Cena.
Ever since Lana joined the Women's Division and Rusev made his WWE return, he hasn't looked anything like the brute that once easily ran through the Raw roster like a knife through butter. Rusev was defeated by John Cena at Battleground in a flag match last month and then he decided to pick a fight with former WWE Champion Randy Orton. Logic usually dictates that the heel goes over first if it's going to be a lengthy feud, but it seems that this isn't the case for poor Rusev, who didn't manage to get any offense in before he ate an RKO.
11 Wrong: The Usos Reclaimed Their Tag Team Championships
There were three matches on the card for this year's SummerSlam event, and many of the WWE Universe have questioned why the SmackDown Tag Team Championships were on the line on the kickoff show, especially since The Usos and The New Day put on such a good match, but the ending wasn't exactly what the WWE Universe were expecting.
There were a lot of title changes over the entire weekend in Brooklyn, but the fact that The New Day only won the Championships at Battleground last month and have now lost them back to The Usos has made the SmackDown titles look as though they are being played hot potato with as well. The New Day could easily have retained the Championships and the feud between the two teams would finally be over, but instead, it now seems as though it will at least last into the next Pay-per-view as New Day cash in their Tag Team Championships.
10 Right: Natalya Finally Lifted The SmackDown Women's Championship
It was a nervy match as the crowd fully expected Carmella and James Ellsworth to make their presence known and take the Women's Championship from whoever the winner of the SmackDown Women's Championship match was. It was a shock when Naomi tapped to the Sharpshooter and Natalya was the one left standing in the ring holding a Championship that she has worked for now for more than a decade, but it seems that Carmella thought better of messing with the new Champion.
Many thought that they would never see Natalya lift the Championship, given that she is now seen as a veteran in the company and the woman who trains all other female wrestlers who are coming through the ranks in WWE right now. Nattie may be seen as a veteran but she turned back the clock last night when she managed to defeat her former friend and Total Divas co-star for the hottest prize that the women have on SmackDown Live.
9 Wrong: What Was The Point In The Shark Cage?
Big Show and Big Cass collided last night in a shark cage match at this year's SummerSlam with Enzo Amore hanging above the ring inside the reinforced cage. The match was definitely not going to be one that the WWE Universe would remember weeks afterward, but it wasn't the worst match of night.
The shark cage didn't really do its job either as Enzo managed to oil himself up partway through the match, slip through the bars and then drop into the ring only to be kicked in the face by Big Cass for his troubles before Cass then went on to hit Big Show with the same boot before he got the pin off the Empire Elbow. It was a match where Big Show needed to put Big Cass over as the next big giant in WWE and even though he did, it felt like there was something missing.
8 Wrong: Sasha Banks Was Booed In Brooklyn
It must be hard for WWE to keep editing over all of the boos that the stars who are supposed to be faces are receiving. Editing over Roman Reigns' boos must be time consuming enough, but it seems that Sasha Banks has become another name on this list since she was booed as she made her entrance in Brooklyn.
The Barclays Center has been a place that has some great memories for Sasha, including her fantastic match with Bayley at the first ever NXT Takeover: Brooklyn event three years ago. Sasha was once considered to be the Internet darling when it comes to her position in WWE and she's the one that WWE often fall back on when it comes to anyone challenging for a Championship in the Women's Division, but the fact that she has now been booed out of the Barclays Center shows that the WWE Universe doesn't rate her very highly anymore.
7 Right: Seth Rollins And Dean Ambrose Won The Tag Team Titles
Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose walked into SummerSlam as the favorites for the Tag Team Championships given the popularity that The Shield's reunion has given to Monday Night Raw over the past few weeks.
Rollins and Ambrose put on an incredible match against Cesaro and Sheamus to win the titles and allow Ambrose to become the youngest ever WWE Grand Slam Champion. It may have been a night where there were many titles changing hands, but it seems that the one that fans enjoyed the most was the title change from Cesaro and Sheamus, who have reigned their division for long enough, and now the WWE Universe awaits a world where Rollins and Ambrose are Champions together for the first time. It will be interesting to see how these two manage to coexist over the next few weeks, especially since it is likely that Cesaro and Sheamus will cash in their rematch clause for No Mercy.
6 Wrong: Shane McMahon Didn't Turn Heel
Shane McMahon was made the special guest referee in the match against AJ Styles and Kevin Owens, when it was made clear that a normal official couldn't contain the duo in a sanctioned match.
Throughout the match last night, Shane managed to get in AJ's way and it seemed as though Shane was going to turn heel and cost AJ his Championship. Of course, AJ and Shane have already put their differences aside since their match at WrestleMania earlier this year, but it seems that Owens and McMahon could be building over the next few months after Shane did cost Owens a chance to reclaim his title in a round about way. Shane played his part, and the match was one of the best of the night, but Shane looked like he was playing both sides throughout, which didn't work out too well in the end when he finally did cost Owens.
5 Wrong: NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Stole The Show
Every year, WWE seems to think it's a good idea to allow NXT to take over the Barclays Center the night before the main roster are given their chance, and every year NXT blow the main roster out of the water.
This year was no different as Bobby Roode, Drew McIntyre, Asuka, and Ember Moon all played their part in making Saturday night a memorable one as well as Kyle O'Reilly, Adam Cole and Bobby Fish all making their presence known to create what seems to be a Ring of Honor invasion of NXT. It's not that much of a shock that NXT managed to raise the bar, especially since Triple H continues to prove his worth as part of the Developmental process on a regular basis. It would just be nice for the main roster to step it up one year.
4 Right: Finn Balor Defeated Bray Wyatt
The Demon King remains undefeated at SummerSlam, after he was forced to return to his body painted ways when Bray Wyatt gave him a Brood style bloodbath on Monday Night Raw this past week.
The Demon seems to give Finn Balor much more power over his opponents and Bray saw that he should never have played with fire, because he more than got burned on Sunday night when Balor got the pin of a Coupe De Grace. The feud between these strange stars is far from over, and could easily be stepped up in a month's time for No Mercy if these two are to collide one-on-one once again. It would be interesting to see what strange stipulation WWE can come up with for this showdown, since they have two unique stars at their disposal, so they should take advantage of this. At least Finn avenged his loss on Raw in order to bring the score level between the two.
3 Wrong: Jinder Mahal Retained The WWE Championship
Jinder Mahal's insane reign as WWE Champion continued after he once again managed to defeat another challenger. This time it was Shinsuke Nakamura that was outnumbered when The Singh Brothers attacked and Jinder then blindsided the former NXT Champion to retain his Championship.
Speculation suggests that this feud is far from over and that the only reason Nakamura didn't win the title is because WWE thought it was too soon to press the green button on a WWE title reign for him. Nakamura is knocking on the door and the WWE Championship is in his very near future, but it means that until then the WWE Universe will be forced to endure another few weeks with The Modern Day Maharaja holding the biggest title on the SmackDown brand. What does the WWE Universe have to do to convince WWE to take the title away from Mahal? He doesn't work as Champion and the Universe are already firmly behind Nakamura.
2 Wrong: Sasha Banks Won The Raw Women's Championship
Sasha Banks wasn't even supposed to be in the Raw Women's Championship match this past weekend. Bayley was supposed to challenge Alexa Bliss, that was until she was injured in a match against Nia Jax recently.
The WWE Universe wanted Nia to go on to face Alexa at SummerSlam and not Sasha, which is why she was so heavily booed. It seems WWE can't bring themselves to put together a meaningful storyline with the SmackDown women, and allowing Sasha to become a four time Champion was just a ridiculous decision. The storyline here is between Nia and Alexa and it seems that pushing Sasha to the Championship could completely overshadow this, which isn't what anyone wants. Moving forward, it seems that Alexa will challenge Sasha at No Mercy, but Nia could come into the match if there was a decision to make it a Triple Threat. It will be interesting to see where WWE are taking this.
1 Right: Brock Lesnar Retained His Universal Championship
SummerSlam's event was headlined by the fatal-four-way match between Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe. Braun Strowman is the first man to properly take the fight to Brock and to look as though he could defeat him.
Of course, the added stipulation was that if Brock lost then he would be forced to walk away from WWE. Even though Braun stepped up, he was unable to make it count when he needed to as Roman was the one to take the pin to allow Brock to move forward as Champion. It seems that No Mercy could see Braun and Brock finally collide one-on-one and it will definitely be a blockbuster showdown, but for right now it seems that WWE got it right when they allowed Brock Lesnar to retain in Brooklyn last night, even though the WWE Universe booed when the final pin fall was officially counted.

Often it's hard to imagine that something so ingrained in our daily lives can become a relic in a short amount of time. Take, for instance, the television. If you'd asked someone in the 90s if they thought that people would be watching TV and movies more on their phones than on their TVs, you'd probably get a resounding NO. But, according to Ofcom's Media Use and Attitudes report 59% of 16–24 year-olds in 2017 stated their phone would be the first thing they missed compared to just 17% for TV. How times have changed, the internet spelled the death of broadcast platforms as the first choice in media consumption.
In a similar fashion, many believe that cryptocurrencies are the future of the financial system.
"Blockchain will do the same to banking what the internet did to media" has been a popular phrase this year. In fact, like the internet was the first native digital medium for information, blockchain is the first native digital medium for peer-to-peer value exchange.
Vitalik Buterin, the creator of cryptocurrency Ethereum, says that the technology is so convenient that it can be applied for years in future industries beyond our current imagination.
In 2018, the cryptocurrency hype is at a new peak. Every month we are seeing an increasing number of new emerging startups based on blockchain driven solutions, all with the intention of improving the way a variety of industries have been operating for decades. This astounding uptake in use has been a driving force in the skyrocketing prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies.
Despite all of this, there are those in the general public who look upon cryptocurrencies with apprehension, viewing as just hype. But, is it?
Is the hype to be believed?
It was stated at the recent Global Ecommerce Summit that cryptocurrencies, together with blockchain, are the future of online payments. Jasmin Battista, leader of e-commerce in the European Commission's DG Connect project, has emphasized that smart contracts are especially important for the traders.
Many view the Ethereum system as the natural next step for transaction processing, order tracking, supply chain management or tracking management activities. Many entrepreneurs and industries already work with the technology adapting it to their needs and people's problems.
The future is here
While most of the population are still skeptical about their future, many bright minds are sweating day and night to bring the best possible solutions to the public.
Blockchain offers all of what our current commerce system does, except that it is cheaper and faster. Making commerce and finances more transparent is a huge step towards democratizing the economy and capturing the power from the authorities by bringing it back to the people.

You can have more than a fuzzy pink nosed pet for your science area. I have never had much luck with the rodent variety. They either have babies or die. So, here are my favorite low maintenance, very ugly, cool pets. I love these guys!
This is Plato, he is huge, for a hermit crab. I thought when we added friends, that he would beat them up or badger them. Nope, they all just kinda of hang out. If you did not know hermit crabs are very social creatures. Who, would have thought, hermit crabs social. But, the more the merrier for these guys!
Now, Pinky is kinda shy, never really comes out of her shell. She seems to be always hiding, I have to go search her out. With hermit crabs, it is impossible to figure out if it is a girl or boy unless you take them out of their shell, and then you have to be a specialist to tell. So, we just decided "girl", because of the pink shell.
Meet Shark, he is also named for his shell. If he moves I do not know what we will call him. He is fast and likes to try to nip with his front pincer. In addition to our hermit crabs, I have collected hermit crab books, for our science area. I have to constantly go looking for the books. They like to try to decide which crabs our hermits look like.
Is This a House for Hermit Crab?
Hermit Crab's Home: Safe in a Shell (Smithsonian Oceanic) (Smithsonian Oceanic Collection)
Caring for Your Hermit Crab (First Facts)
Why Get a Hermit Grab?
1. They are super cool to look at and are pretty much unchanged since prehistoric times.
2. How cool is it to carry your house on your back.
3. Easy to care for.
4. Inexpensive.
5. You don't have to cuddle.
6. Kids love watching hermit crabs.
I keep the hermits in a small glass aquarium, on a small book shelf, that is the perfect height for my kids to watch. They get super excited, when the hermits do anything. So, if you are looking for an easy to care for pet, to spruce up your science are, do some looking at hermit crabs. Here are some great resources to learn more, about our little friends that carry their house with them.
As you get to looking around at some of the websites for hermit crabs, you will quickly realize, how crazy people are over their hermits. I never thought I would enjoy our hermits quite so much, but I really do. It was an easy way to put some science into our world in a small package.

I'm so tired. I forgot how tired you feel at the early part of pregnancy. It's like walking in jello with ankle weights on.
I had decided I was not going to take any more clients after January 15 to give myself a solid 6-8 weeks off before my own baby comes. Then today I got a call from a lady due January 29. It's not her first baby, so I could probably avoid one of those "death by primip" births; but still, she went a week over with her first baby, which is really encroaching on my "just be a mom" time.
I don't know how to say no to these ladies. What am I going to do when they keep calling? There is no one else in this area to serve these women who want a homebirth. The nearest other midwife is over 1.5 hours away. On the other hand, I really need to take care of me and my new baby. I don't want to have to be doing prenatals when my baby is only a few days old. I want to take that two weeks solid rest that I insist on for "my" moms.
I haven't started feeling sick yet. Looking back at some of my pregnancy journals with the girls, I noticed that I started feeling sick before I even saw two lines on the pregnancy test. Maybe a boy? Dare I hope?
Usually I know exactly what day ovulation occurred and since I chart every little nuance of my fertility cycles, I have very solid "due dates". But how many times have I told women how due dates mean very little, and are really an approximation -- a guesstimate? Hundreds of times? Thousands if you include the reminders when they go "over"? Now, here I am. I didn't chart anything this month. Didn't even write down the days that my hubby and I were intimate, because he was leaving the country on day 11 of my cycle. I usually ovulate on day 14 or 15. On day 11 we used a condom (we were going to wait until next month to get pregnant), but I don't remember when it was before that. We did have unprotected sex but when? Day 7? Day 8? Anyway, how did I get pregnant so early?
My friends are laughing at me because I have no way to obsess over the timing of intercourse vs ovulation and try and figure out if it will be a boy or a girl. I have no way to look at the calendar with my slide rule analyzing, averaging, looking at moon phases and storm patterns and trying to figure out when the baby will come. I will just have to wait like women used to have to wait before the whole idea of "due date" came into vogue anyway.
It was 1850 when Dr. Naegle came up with the idea of calculating due dates. He found the average pregnancy to be 266 days from the day of conception. If the average woman's cycle is 28 days and she ovulates, on average, on day 14, then this works very nicely. However, many women are not average and have shorter or longer cycles, ovulate early or late, etc. Making the "due date" accurate only 5% of the time. What other industry in this country would accept a date of "delivery" when it is only right 5% of the time?
I have decided to tell my midwife to make the due date March 17. It's as good as any, I suppose. But a middle of the month baby? Never had one of those either. All six have been born on a weekend (labor started Saturday or Sunday all six times) and all six have been born within the last 5 or first 3 days of the month. I guess it's time to take a big spoonful of my own medicine and be patient knowing my baby will come when he or she is ready to come.
This baby feels like such a special gift, like someone just handed me the most precious present completely unexpectedly. I guess this pregnancy will be a chance for me to be surprised each step of the way. We are not planning on having any ultrasounds at all, so everything will truly be like opening my presents on Christmas morning and having no idea what is in them. So much better than peeking ahead of time.

Contract Law: Differentiating between Various Types of Contracts
A contract exists as a well-known concept amongst the public, and not simply limited to those working in the business-related activities. Contracts may occur in varying ways and forms. For instance, buying and selling of property, supply of products or an agreement to hire staff. However, a contract enforceable by law represents an agreement reached or a set of promises that two or more individuals arrive at, to enable them to do or refrain from performing something (Dooley, 2006, p. 203). Unlike a mere promise, it should reveal the intention of the participating parties to reach a legally binding relation, an offer, acceptance and consideration. Besides the aforementioned existing as the essential elements of a contract irrespective of its value or size, certain types of contracts may contain varying terms generating different legal effects as outlined below.
Bilateral Contracts
Every enforceable contract requires at least two participating parties, with intent to create a legal and binding agreement. The party making or presenting the offer is referred as the offeror, while the offeree being the party whom it is made. The former rests as the promisor as the party will always make promises to do or refrain from performing something. The classification of the contract as either bilateral or unilateral relies on what it demands of the offeree to do in the acceptance of the offer that binds the promisor (Cross & Miller, 2009, p. 196).
Bilateral contracts arise when the obligations conferred by the agreement on both parties are prominent when creating the contract. The contract replicates a promise made for another promise. Simply, the offeree accepts the offer by committing to perform. It means that, the contract demands no performance, taking the forms of delivering of products or payment of funds during its creation. Consequently, the existence of the contract comes into force at the moment the participating parties exchange their promises. The legal detriment that the offeree incurs entails a different promise that one makes to do or refrain from performance that one was never previously, and legally mandated (Cross & Miller, 2009, p. 196). The consideration rests on the legal detriment as the motive or benefit inducing either party to enter the contract.
Unilateral Contracts
To the contrary, a unilateral contract arises when the offer is phrased in a manner allowing the offeree acceptance by completing the performance obligated by the contract. The easiest approach to understanding a unilateral contract is examining the meaning of unilateral. It suggests that the contract constitute the action undertaken by one party alone. Similarly, it allows only a single party to make the agreement. Unlike the bilateral demanding at least two parties promising, a unilateral contract only mandates action on one part to create a binding relation (Cross & Miller, 2009, p. 196). For that reason, the creation of a unilateral contract arises on the performance of the contract rather than at the exchange of promises.
The distinction between the two emerges from their application in case laws. The contract involving Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co presents a unilateral contract that required, the offee acceptance by performing the stipulated bargain. This differs from the bilateral contract revealing the exchange of promises in the Australian Woolen Mills Pty Ltd v. The commonwealth of 1954.
Express Contract
The sanctity of a contract attracts the fundamental meaning and freedom from the true intentions during its creation. Although parties are reaching a contract may explicitly put the provisions of the agreement in written terms, the contract generates a broader realm to the presumed intentions of the parties. This suggests that the determination of a contract as either express or implied rests on the terms that root from the intention of the parties. Given that the parties may express the terms defining their rights either orally, in writing or by conduct, this avenue generates both express and implied terms.
An express contract involves one that all the fundamental elements and binding terms are explicitly outlined at its time of creation. This implies that it reveals the actual agreement that was openly declared when creating it, distinctly stated in explicit language, whether oral or written (Black, 1995, p. 261). The express contracts draw varying legal effects. Initially, where parties encounter handwritten and written instruments as contradicting each other, former terms prevail over the rest as it portrays a superior manifestation of their intentions. This was so demonstrated in Glynn v. Margetson.
The content set out in writing precludes the parties from presenting oral evidence to vary, add or contradict the outlined terms. This leaves oral evidence inadmissible to prove other terms as omitted from the written instrument, even though the parties agreed orally. Nevertheless, this provision never prevents parties from rectifying a mistake spotted in the written instrument, provided such conditions are spelt out. Furthermore, it is admissible where a party proves it as the collateral agreement and a subsidiary to the vital purpose constituting the contract. This was demonstrated in the Couchman v Hill (1947), where the Court of Appeal held the verbal statements to override the printed conditions of the sale agreement. The bench allowed the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant, as the oral confirmation of the latter formed the main purpose of concluding the purchase discharging the written description.
Implied Contract
Typically, not every binding contract reveals the express terms. In this light, an implied contract will evolve where the agreement lacks the written instrument or circumstances leaves one party unjustly enriched from the existing actions or understanding. A contract between the parties exists even when explicit terms are missing from their agreement. It arises as either implied in-fact where they assumed a binding contract existed, or implied in-law where denying the existence amounts to unjust enrichment to either party. Although not agreed by the participating parties, the implied terms form an integral part of the binding contract.
The implied terms arose in the Moorcock case where the defendants were found as failing to ascertain the safety of the ship. Although they had no control over the River Thames bed, they offered no warranty to the ship-owner of the safety of the vessel. The court denied the defendant's claim that no terms existed in their contract to guarantee the safety of the ship, by holding the existence of an implied warranty in the offloading contract. The owners of the wharf were better placed to determine its safety at the time of docking (McKedrick, 2014, p. 345).
Implied terms never constitute a platform for the court to improve the terms or make the contract workable. Nevertheless, certain statutes embrace the implied terms in the determination of a contract reached pursuant to the provisions. Particularly, the provisions of the Sale of Goods Act form an integral part of the agreement. They include, fitness for purpose, correspond to the explanation, merchantable quality and right to sell amongst others. Similarly, the consumer contracts and employment contracts have implied terms to protect the consumers and employees respectively.
Void Contracts
This suggests an agreement whose legality remains unenforceable by either party ab initio, since the law treats it as non-existent. In addition, the contract generates no legal remedy as it confers neither rights, nor imposes obligations on the participating parties. Given that it is unenforceable, the question of granting compensation never arises on occasion of non-performance of its provisions. Equally, any collateral transaction becomes void, hence unenforceable by law.
Void contracts arise in all agreements stated with the infants, including admission of debts, money-lending contracts and delivery of products excluding necessaries. It arose in the Leslie Ltd. V. Shell where the plaintiff claimed damages, citing misrepresentation of the age of the defendant when borrowing £400. Given that the plaintiff was a firm in money-lending operations, the court held the £475 claim irrecoverable as the agreement was void by the provision of the Infants Relief Act of 1874.
Voidable Contracts
Applying the above criteria to analyze voidable contract shows the legality as enforced as opted by the aggrieved party. The time of its enforceability lapses when the option upon which it unenforceable arises is rescinded by the party. It retains the right to restitution, where benefits accorded to the other party are restored upon rescinding the agreement. Additionally, a party to the contract who rightfully rescinds it receives compensation of all benefits received by the other party, under its provisions. To the contrary of a void contract, collateral transactions are unaffected (Rao, 2013, p. 35).
A voidable contract arises in agreements entered by infants, entitling them with the right to repudiate such contract either during their infancy or upon attaining the majority age. However, the latter occasion requires them to exercise this right within a reasonable period. This was so held in the Davis v. Beynon-Harris where the infant was liable for debts after failing to repudiate the lease agreement during either of the aforementioned time. Repudiating the contract shields the infant from incurring liability and facing suits. Such contracts would include lease, tenancy and partnership agreements. For instance, the Partnership Act s12 shields the infant partners from incurring debt liability or other liabilities of their undertaking during their infancy as the agreement remains voidable at their option.

It's safe to say, gin is a bit of divisive spirit.
Its potent botanical flavours can prove to be a little bit overbearing for some, but for others, gin is the distilled essence of sophistication and class.
We're massive fans of the stuff. Especially when you mix it together with some delightful ingredients, which is exactly what Soho bartender Dick Bradsell did when he invented the Bramble cocktail back in 1984. It's fruity, sharp and sweet with a lovely blackberry finish. What's not to like?
Here's how to have a crack at it yourself. If you're one of those who doesn't really like gin, then there's a good chance this might change your mind.
Crystal glass
Boston tin
Bramble ingredients
50ml Tanqueray gin
12.5ml lemon juice
12.5ml gomme syrup
12.5ml Crème de Mure
2 blackberries
Lemon slice
How to make a Bramble
First things first, fill up your Boston tin with cubed ice. Then add the lemon juice, the gomme syrup and the Tanqueray gin.
Now give all of that a good ol' shake for seven seconds. Now grab your crystal glass and fill it with crushed ice. Strain the contents of the Boston tin over the crushed ice. Finally, drizzle the Crème de Mure over the mixture, in order to produce a nice looking bleeding effect. Finally, garnish it up with 2 blackberries and a slice of lemon. Sorted.
And there you have it. Enjoy it knowing that you're earning a few sophistication points in the process.
If you're interested in learning some more cocktail wizardry, book yourself one of Cocktail Masterclasses. We're kinda really good at that kind of thing.
But if you want to do a bit more practising at home first, perhaps try your hand at one of our other cocktail recipes? Check them out below. They're all a bit awesome.

The golden light edition.
If the weather is good, we often head to the beach in the afternoon. We take the big boy's dinner, which is usually eaten whilst running around. Usually naked.
It's the perfect way to wear him out, and he often conks out in the car on the way home.
We also get some time for photography (him) or yoga (me), whilst he is busy carving up the sand.
Everyone wins.
And the small boy. Squeals and giggles this week!

Nompumelelo Nyandeni is not a name that rings a bell, but she is one of the most famous South African women footballers.
At 27, she has achieved so much with the Banyana Banyana and has already reached the 100 cap milestone. She achieved that feat in their day two clash at the TN Mobile 9th African Women Championship Namibia 2014 against Ghana, and climaxed it with being voted the TN Mobile Woman of the Match.
The midfielder joins the like of Portia Modise (116 caps) and Janine Van Wyk (106 caps) to reach that feat.
In an interview with Cafonline.com, the midfielder talks about her career and her aspirations. Below are excerpts
Cafonline.com: How do feel after achieving a milestone of 100 caps at 27 years?
Nompumelelo Nyandeni: It is a huge honour for me, and I am very happy about this achievement.
How difficult has bit it been to maintain consistency over the years?
It has been very difficult, this world is full of up's and downs. There are many challenges along the way but with God on your side, things work out.
When did you make your Banyana Banyana debut?
My first match for Banyana Banyana was in 2002 against Zambia. I never imagined myself reaching this huge accolade 12 years on.
Who were some of your playing mates when you made your debut and how difficult was it getting into the team?
I played with Portia Modise, Desiree Eliis and Veronica Phewa amongst others. It was extremely difficult getting into the squad because I was 15 years old at the time.
What has been your inspiration thus far and what are the low and high points of your career?
My inspiration has always been my brother (Sipho Nyandeni). He taught me how to play football as we are growing up, though he never played professionally. My lowest point in my career was not being able to represent my country at the 2010 African Women Championship which South Africa hosted. This is because my Russian club Rossiyanka refused to release me. My highest points was reaching the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter finals in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 with Rossiyanka and getting called back to the National team.
How did you get into football?
I always spent time following my brother when he went to play. I fell in love with the sport and they taught me everything I know. I owe my career to my big brother, Sipho.
Is Banyana in a good stead to finally reach the World Cup for the first time?
I believe in the team, and this is our dream for I am confident that we still have an opportunity to make it to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Te Ipu Kōrero: Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora - Programmes for Students Yrs 1-8
"Kei te poi kē te kōrero. Ka whiua te poi, ka puta te kōrero;
Nā Tūhākia Keepa
(The Rythmn and Life of Poi, Ngāmoni Huata, 2000)
Te Ipu Kōrero is an exciting new 10-week oral language programme developed for use in Māori-medium classrooms. Designed to accelerate oral language achievement of students who are learning through te reo Māori, Te Ipu Kōrero:
- is based on second language acquisition theories of oral language development
- can be delivered in the classroom by classroom teachers
- is based on meeting the needs of ākonga who are not meeting achievement expectations
- identifies and values the existing language skills and leadership potential of each learner and sets goals based on those competencies
- incorporates the elements that impact positively on student achievement and accelerate learning.
Target Audience
Ākonga whose reo ā-waha (oral language) is hindering their learning.
Intended Outcomes
Te Ipu Kōrero seeks to raise and accelerate student achievement by:
- strengthening teacher oral language competence and oral language pedagogy
- providing opportunities for ākonga to utilise all of their language and learning tools in their kete.
Ways of working
Te Ipu Kōrero is delivered in class by the classroom teacher/kaiako. While it is targetted at improving outcomes for specific students, the programme is designed to be implemented with all learners in a class as part of the regular classroom programme.
Teachers receive training in the pedagogy and use of the lessons, monitoring and assessment procedures.
The Haemata facilitator will support each kaiako with the implementation through regular meetings (online and/or face-to-face), in-school visits and the provision of monitoring data for each student.
Kaiako participate in three training hui - an induction prior to implementing Te Ipu Kōrero, a mid-point workshop and and a post-programme hui.
Participating schools
Kaiako from the following schools have already participated and contributed to Te Ipu Kōrero:
- Tākaro School, Palmerston North
- Te Kura o Waharoa, Waharoa
- Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o te Whare Tapere o Takitimu, Hastings
- Hato Hōhepa te Kāmura, Northland
- Ōtaki School, Ōtaki

Useless. Heat in space is transferred by radiation, not conduction. If the argument were correct, all the planets would be frozen.
Only heat flux radiation matters to the heat shield. The shield is a black-body radiator, as reflective and emissive as possible, shading as much of the craft as possible. The shield is connected to the craft by struts with as little conductivity as possible, the gap allowing the back side of the shield to radiate away from the craft. Only conduction matters on the craft, which is liquid cooled, and is as actually as conductive as possible to protect the instruments.

LANCASHIRE'S 1911 census records are now available online.
36 million people were recorded in the census taken on Sunday, April 2, 1911.
Now, after nearly 100 years, these census records are available to the public at www.1911census.co.uk
The census covered England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, as well as recording those aboard Royal Naval and Merchant vessels at sea and in foreign ports and, for the first time in a British census, full details of British Army personnel and their families in military establishments overseas.
It is the most detailed census since UK records began and the first for which the original census schedules have been preserved – complete with our ancestors' own handwriting.
The records contain details about the lives of many important British historical figures, such as David Lloyd George, the contemporary Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and 'Bloomsbury Set' author Virginia Woolf.
From Tuesday over 27 million people's census entries – 80 per cent of the English records – are available including records of the 4,766,730 people living in Lancashire in 1911.
A further nine million records of people from the remaining counties of England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, as well as the naval and overseas military records, will be made available over the coming months.Š
Public demand for the 1911 census, which will be a key resource for family historians, has resulted in the records being released earlier than the scheduled 2012 date. In line with data protection legislation, certain sensitive information relating to infirmity and to children of women prisoners will be held back until 2012.
www.1911census.co.uk has been developed by family history website findmypast.com, owned by brightsolid, in association with The National Archives.
Elaine Collins, commercial director at findmypast.com, said: "The 1911 census offers a crucial new entry point to family history research for a wide range of people, from novice family historians to seasoned genealogists who have hit a 'wall' in their family tree research. As well as helping people trace their ancestors, these records shed more light on our ancestors' day-to-day lifestyles,Šproviding a snapshot of a day in their lives, with details of their occupations, housing arrangements and social status."
Due to the popularity of family history, it is anticipated that www.1911census.co.uk will experience a high level of visitors logging on to search the records, especially in the first weeks.
How to use the 1911 Census records: Log on to www.1911census.co.uk and register for free; Search for an ancestor in 1911 by entering their name; If the name is common you can enter their approximate year of birth, to narrow down the results; Search for an address to look up the history of your house or an ancestor's address in 1911 (this function will be available in summer 2009); Pay as you go to view each record. You will be charged 10 credits per transcript and 30 credits for each original household page. Visitors to the website can buy 60 credits for £6.95.

People who believe Princess Diana was murdered or that John F Kennedy's assassination was an elaborate plot are more likely to think that vaccines are unsafe, despite scientific evidence to the contrary, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
"Vaccinations are one of society's greatest achievements and one of the main reasons that people live about 30 years longer than a century ago," said lead researcher Dr Matthew Hornsey, of the University of Queensland. "Therefore, it is fascinating to learn about why some people are so fearful of them."
The study is the first to test the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and anti-vaccination attitudes among a global sample, according to Hornsey.
Hornsey and his co-authors surveyed 5,323 people from 24 countries on five continents using online questionnaires between 31 March and 11 May, 2016, measuring anti-vaccination attitudes and belief in four conspiracy theories: that Princess Diana was murdered; that the US government knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance and chose to let them happen; that a shadowy group of elites exist to plot a new world order; and that John F Kennedy was murdered as part of an elaborate plot.
Those with strong beliefs in conspiracies were most likely to hold anti-vaccination attitudes regardless of where they lived. For example, the more people believed that Princess Diana was murdered, the more negative attitudes they had about vaccinations.
In contrast, level of education had a very small impact on anti-vaccination attitudes. "People often develop attitudes through emotional and gut responses," Hornsey said. "Simply repeating evidence makes little difference to those who have anti-vaccination attitudes."
Large pharmaceutical companies, which profit from selling vaccines, are often targets for conspiracy theorists, said Hornsey. "For many conspiracy theorists, profits gained are a sign that the system is broken and the truth is being covered up by vested interests."
"Trying to reduce people's conspiracy beliefs is notoriously difficult," Hornsey said. "An alternative possibility is to acknowledge the possibility of conspiracies, but to highlight how there are vested interests on the other side too; vested interests that are motivated to obscure the benefits of vaccination and to exaggerate their dangers."
Anti-vaccination attitudes were also associated with intolerance of those who limit their freedom, disgust toward blood and needles and an individualistic worldview, according to the study.
Objective: Strengthening of antivaccination movements in recent decades has coincided with unprecedented increases in the incidence of some communicable diseases. Many intervention programs work from a deficit model of science communication, presuming that vaccination skeptics lack the ability to access or understand evidence. However, interventions focusing on evidence and the debunking of vaccine-related myths have proven to be either nonproductive or counterproductive. Working from a motivated reasoning perspective, we examine the psychological factors that might motivate people to reject scientific consensus around vaccination. To assist with international generalizability, we examine this question in 24 countries.
Methods: We sampled 5,323 participants in 24 countries, and measured their antivaccination attitudes. We also measured their belief in conspiracy theories, reactance (the tendency for people to have a low tolerance for impingements on their freedoms), disgust sensitivity toward blood and needles, and individualistic/hierarchical worldviews (i.e., people's beliefs about how much control society should have over individuals, and whether hierarchies are desirable).
Results: In order of magnitude, antivaccination attitudes were highest among those who (a) were high in conspiratorial thinking, (b) were high in reactance, (c) reported high levels of disgust toward blood and needles, and (d) had strong individualistic/hierarchical worldviews. In contrast, demographic variables (including education) accounted for nonsignificant or trivial levels of variance.
Conclusions: These data help identify the "attitude roots" that may motivate and sustain vaccine skepticism. In so doing, they help shed light on why repetition of evidence can be nonproductive, and suggest communication solutions to that problem.

City of Peterborough Swimming Club (COPS) had plenty to celebrate at the big East Region 2017 Winter Championships in Norwich.
They were on the crest of a wave at the University of East Anglia 50m pool after claiming 25 medals - 10 of them gold - at the meeting to finish second in the final medals table behind the mighty Hatfield Swimming Club.
The championships, for which swimmers had to qualify, was an open age group event which meant 12 and 13 year-olds were racing alongside senior swimmers.
"This is a fantastic experience for our younger age group swimmers as it has a long term focus," said COPS head coach Ben Negus. "Only the very best get medals so it's a motivation to be striving for over the next couple of years."
COPS had a strong squad of 26 individual qualifiers competing aged between 12 and 18 plus several relay teams.
The COPS individual qualifiers were: Amelia Monaghan, Anna Blakeley, Brenna Howell, Connor Walker, Ella McGhie, Emma Leslie, Eve Wright, Harriet Salisbury, Harry Whiteman, Henry Pearce, Herbie Kinder, Holly Graves, Jamie Scholes, Lauren Harrison, Kenzie Whyatt, Matt Gray, Matthew Rothwell, Matthew Wouldham, Mia Leech, Myles Robinson-Young, Olivia Lee, Poppy Richardson, Rachel Wellings, Rebecca Burton, Sophie Griffin and Thomas Wiggins.
Rebecca Burton had a great day, leading the way for COPS with a golden treble. She won the 50m and 100m breaststroke races and the 200m individual medley.
Amelia Monaghan and Jamie Scholes both won two gold medals and the other COPS racers to touch first in an individual final were Harry Whiteman and Rachel Wellings.
COPS medal winners:
200m Free Men – BRONZE – Myles Robinson-Young.
400m IM Women – GOLD Amelia Monaghan; SILVER Mia Leech.
4 x 200m Free Relay Men – SILVER Harry Whiteman, Jamie Scholes, Tom Wiggins, Myles Robinson-Young.
200m Breast Women – GOLD Amelia Monaghan.
100m Fly Men – BRONZE Harry Whiteman.
100m Back Women – SILVER Rachel Wellings.
50m Breast Men – SILVER Tom Wiggins.
50m Breast Women – GOLD Rebecca Burton.
200m Back Men - GOLD Jamie Scholes BRONZE Harry Whiteman.
400m Free Relay Women - SILVER Poppy Richardson, Kenzie Whyatt, Anna Blakeley, Rachel Wellings.
200m IM Women - GOLD Rebecca Burton; BRONZE Amelia Monaghan.
200m Fly Women - SILVER Poppy Richardson; BRONZE Mia Leech.
200m Fly Men – BRONZE Harry Whiteman.
100m Breast Women – GOLD Rebecca Burton.
100m Back Men – Gold Jamie Scholes.
200m Free Men – BRONZE Myles Robinson-Young.
200m Back Women – GOLD Rachel Wellings.
400m Medley Relay Women – GOLD Rachel Wellings, Rebecca Burton, Mia Leech, Poppy Richardson.
Negus added: "We fielded a strong squad with most of the swimmers racing multiple times. Mia Leech and Amelia Monaghan led from the front by racing countless times, often going from race to race and putting in strong final appearances.
"Both girls showed real commitment to competitive racing and stayed focused throughout despite being so very busy.
"However, for me, the more impressive results this year came from the boys. Last year only Jamie Scholes scored a podium result. This year Jamie, Harry Whiteman, TomWiggins and Myles Robinson-Young all made the podium with multiple final appearances too.
"It's been a strange meet because our younger youth ladies have had to step up and race 17+ year-olds in finals but they haven't looked out of place at all.
"Finally this meet was more about seeing our swimmers execute better race skills under pressure and I feel the majority are definitely showing this now so we are learning and progressing in the right direction."

One of our customers recently arrived at the C Hanlon Bathroom showroom in Thornliebank, Glasgow looking for ideas on how to turn their tired looking bathroom into a much more accessible and easy to maintain bathroom.
After consultation with our showroom staff they selected some bathroom pieces that they liked and arranged for a free estimate to take place. Our then estimator attended their property and helped them plan their vision using the items selected at the showroom.
Opting for wet wall panels and removing the bath to create a large walk in shower, they are delighted with the finished job.

This is a message for all Watch members and Key Individuals in Harborough District on behalf of Sarah Pickering – Anti-social Behaviour Officer for Harborough District Council.
Is your area suffering from anti-social behaviour?
Do your local young people have nothing to do in the area?
Do you run a club or group that could put on an activity to encourage community harmony?
Harborough's Community Safety Partnership are inviting you to apply for money for diversionary projects to help prevent ASB in 2010/11. For example last year the Youth Service ran a number of evenings in Broughton Ashley's Frolesworth recreation ground with the Chill–out bus and a barbeque, giving them the opportunity access information and engaging in arts and crafts. This resulted in a reduced number of complaints about asb at those times.
Perhaps you would be able to run an activity in the Summer to divert young people away from underage drinking on the streets.
If your area is suffering graffiti, could you arrange for a professional graffiti artist to start a graffiti wall which the young people could continue and feel some sense of ownership?
If you have a project you would like to put forward please contact:
Sarah Pickering – Community Involvement Officer at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can download a bid form from our website:

A Ballymena man who had previously played for the Northern Ireland Homeless World Cup football team has been jailed for five months.
Daly Mooney (24), of Warden Square, damaged two parking meters in the town and stole £300 cash on December 23 last year.
On the same date he admitted possessing cannabis.
Mooney further caused criminal damage to a parking meter three days later.
Also on Boxing Day he was disorderly at Pat's Brae, Ballymena.
He appeared in the dock at Ballymena Magistrates Court on Thursday for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to the offences.
Defence barrister Stephen Law said his client had a lengthy record and had previously misused drugs but was a man of "considerable sporting talent" played for the homeless team.
Mooney had already served the equivalent of seven months whilst on remand on the charges said Mr Law.
The lawyer said the defendant wants to get back to college and concentrate on sport and "be a positive member of society".
District Judge Peter King said it was always depressing to "see someone with that much potential" in the dock on a repeat basis.
