Adders are the only venomous snake native to Britain. This means they have to inject toxins through their teeth unlike poisonous animals that generally secrete toxins externally through their skin.
Adders are only dangerous if you are within biting distance. Adders are very sensitive to vibrations so generally will be able to feel you coming and move out of the way before you even know they are there!
Never disturb an adder or attempt to pick one up.
If you are bitten try not to panic. It may not be as bad as you think!
Adder bites, although painful, are rarely fatal. It is still important to get to your nearest hospital as soon as possible calling for an ambulance if need be.
Never attempt to carry out first aid to treat an adder bite yourself!
Immobilise the bitten limb immediately. Stopping the limb moving reduces the blood flow and the rate at which the venom is carried around the body.
Get to hospital as quickly as possible where they can treat you with anti venom and monitor your body's reaction in case of an allergic reaction
Just as you would treating a person, try to stop the bitten limb moving.
Phone your vets before you arrive so they are aware of the situation. Not all vets stock adder anti venom due to the short shelf life of the medication and infrequency of bites. If you phone ahead they can prepare the anti venom or redirect you to another vet that does stock the treatment.
Adders are most easily identified by the dark zigzag pattern down their back. Generally in males this is black and in females dark brown. They also have a distinctive "V" or "X" shape on the back of their heads.
Unlike other native snake species that have round pupils, adders have a vertical "slit" like pupil. Their eyes are generally red in colour. Background colours can vary dramatically. You can even find adders that are completely black!
If you see an adder, report your sighting on Living Record.
If you're unsure about a snake don't touch it or try to get a better look! There are many non native snakes living in the wild that have escaped from captivity and could be dangerous.
For help on identifying snake species visit Amphibian and Reptile Conservation to browse their identification resources.
If you're keen to broaden your knowledge Dorset Wildlife Trust runs events throughout spring and summer to bring you closer to reptiles in Dorset. For reptile ravers young and old, our events are open to all and are sure to be enlightening and entertaining!
Not many people realise that adders are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is an offence to deliberately hurt or kill an adder in this country.
It is unlikely to be an adder in your garden as they favour scrubbier habitats. It is more likely to be a grass snake that is looking for somewhere safe to lay their eggs, like a compost heap.
Overgrown areas in gardens can provide good cover and hunting ground for adders. An easy way to deter adders is simply to maintain your garden and clear overgrown areas that they favour.
Never attempt to remove an adder yourself. If you are still concerned about adders on your property contact your local council's Environmental Services to discuss your options.
It is understandable that a snake in the garden can cause concern, especially if it is only seen fleetingly.
Get a positive ID by sending us a photo on Twitter to @DorsetWildlife or post it on our Facebook page. Snake, shed skins or any other evidence you might find, we're happy to take a look!

Nowadays there are apps for everything. When I travel, I use several apps to make traveling more enjoyable and find hidden gems.
These apps can be used for many things. I use them to not only enhance my traveling experience, but to draw in my target audience and give them an opportunity to enhance their traveling experiences as well.
1. Yelp
I like this app because you can search for restaurants using your GPS, you can search by type of cuisine and by price. It is easy to navigate and a very accurate app.
2. Urbanspoon
This app is so cool because not only can you search for restaurants by price, type of food and nearby, you can have an account where you connect with other Urbanspooners and can post photos and reviews.
3. Waze
This app isn't like your traditional navigation system. You create your own unique profile, can report police, accidents and traffic and can earn points to unlock new levels of cool.
4. Poynt
As seen above, Poynt gives you different topics you can search for. Just turn on your GPS and you're good to go!
5. Instagram
I use Instagram to promote my blog. I post photos of events and places. The filters are fun and it is a good way to promote your brand.
6. Twitter
I use Twitter to connect with my target audiences and friends. It is a good way to promote your brand and show what traveling you've been doing!
7. Facebook
I actually use this more to connect with friends and family, but my Twitter tweets automatically post to my Facebook page. I am eventually going to make a TheTomKid travels page, but I'm still in the process of building my audience.
8. Pinterest
I have created a TheTomKid travels board and will be posting blog posts and other cool travel ideas to continue to promote my brand.
So there you have it! The apps I use consistently to help me have a better travel experience and ways to show off what I am doing. Do you have any other unique applications you use to travel with? Let me know! In the mean time, check out my other posts and visit my fellow blogger, Nicole Winkleman's, blog post for the best airline apps!

TRIBUTES have been paid to Alice Gregory, MBE, former Sefton chairwoman for The Royal College of Nursing, who has died at the age of 85.
Friends remember Alice, a dedicated member of Southport Soroptimists, as a "most caring person" and a "life-long friend".
Alice, who was born in Cambridge, spent her early years living on a farm, before training as a nurse in Huddersfield.
She met her husband, Neil, during the Second World War, when he was stationed in an RAF base just outside Cambridge. When the war ended, Neil asked her to come and live in his home town of Southport, where she began a long association with Southport health services and made many friends.
Close friend Val Martyn-Beck said: "I have known Alice since 1964, and I worked with her at the Health Department. She was a very, very good friend and colleague to me over many years."
Alice was soon put in charge of Community Nursing Services in Formby and Southport, supervising district nurses, health visitors and school nurses, which came as little surprise to her brother, Charles, who always called her "the Boss"!
She was awarded an MBE in 1981 for her work as Sefton chairwoman for The Royal College of Nursing.
Alice became a Soroptimist in 1965, and was club president in 1970-71 and regional president in 1977-78.
Her commitment to Soroptimism led her to be involved with the Benevolent Fund, recruiting new members and travelling to international conferences, which allowed her to indulge her hobbies of photography and bird watching.
As a true Soroptimist, Alice believed in service to others. She was an original trustee of Queenscourt Hospice, and she worked with Lady Mary Hesketh to bring the first Macmillan Nurses to Southport. She also held a coveted Red Cross Badge.
Jean Lee, a close friend of Alice, remembers when she attended a Buckingham Palace Garden Party. She said: "Alice was wearing the same hat as the Queen Mother, so one of the servants asked her if she would change it. She was led to a room full of hats and selected one. She then asked to visit a royal bathroom – or should I say, 'lavatory'! As these are not usually available to the general public this was quite a coup for Alice!"
Val added: "I joined the Soroptimists so we saw each other frequently. We will miss her very much."

Bionic arm helps woman born with underdeveloped arm perform everyday tasks
While holding a wine glass or delivering a firm handshake with either hand may be everyday actions for the ordinary person, they are a novelty for Nicky Ashwell, who was born with a partially developed right arm, The Daily Mirror reported.
For the first time in her life, Ashwell, 29, can perform those tasks due to a cutting-edge bionic arm that uses technology to track and sense each finger's movement, and replicate the performance of a real hand using 337 mechanical parts. Unlike previous crude robotics, the bebionic small arm has magnets that improve speed and strength, as well as 'bubble' fingertips for precision in the handling of objects.
"It sounds silly but it was just something simple when I was able to hold the pole on the train. That was the first real 'wow' moment," Ashwell, of Surrey, in the United Kingdom, told the news website. "It's actually the small things that you do every day— which you don't really think about— that in the end make such a huge difference."
Ashwell, who was born with a right arm that stopped developing slightly below her elbow, said the technology has enabled her to do activities she couldn't as a child.
"I would have loved as a kid to have been able to learn the piano. I do play the guitar to a limited extent, but not having a hand does hold you back," she told The Daily Mirror. "There were sports I wasn't very confident getting involved in because I was conscious how awkward I would be catching a ball."
Her bionic arm, which was developed using military and Formula 1 car technology, retails for about $11,000 and weighs the same as a can of baked beans. Its 14 precision grips are triggered from signals from the arm muscle and released only when the wearer sends a second signal, a feature that requires minimal concentration from the user.
The makers of the bebionic small hand say their technology has the potential to transform the lives of 3 million amputees. For Ashwell, it's done just that.
"I realized that I had been making life challenging for myself when I didn't need to," she told the news website. "The movements now come easily and look natural. I keep finding myself being surprised by the little things, like being able to carry my purse while holding my boyfriend's hand."

Summer is coming to it's end (although this heat wave sure doesn't feel like it!!!) and it's time for one more adventure before we toss in the towel! Go Ape! ropes course and zip-lines in North Park is the perfect place to try something new and get active outside! I'll admit I'm a very "city" girl but I also like to play in the dirt every once in a while. This ropes course is just 22 minutes outside of downtown Pittsburgh!
Spots fill up fast, so be sure to book in advance! Once you get situated in your harness and go through a group training, they let you out loose on the course! There are five courses of tarzan swings, monkey ropes, and balancing acts; each ending with a zip-line to transport you to the next. I've done ropes courses before during my teen days at summer camp, but I have to admit by the end I was exhausted!
The course over-all took us about about 2 1/2 hours. It was thrilling, fun, and really a team-bonding experience cheering on and supporting each other while up in the air.
What is your last adventure of summer going to be over Labor Day Weekend?
xoxo, Belle of the Burgh

The annual South African Hip Hop Awards held at the The Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg last night came with its fair share of drama.
During his acceptance speech, Cassper Nyovest aka Mufasa, who scooped six gongs, said a line that many will remember for a long time: "Tumi, you ain't do sh*t for me, bro".

This after rapper and poet Tumi Molekane, aka Stogie T, namedropped rappers who have come through his studio and whose careers he helped.
But Mufasa wasn't the only one who had a bone to pick with Stogie T.
Taking to social media, Riky Rick also lashed out on Stogie T, he tweeted:
Let me tell you what happened. I wanted to release Boss Zonke and tumi said the track is wack and he didnt want to be part of it. I said shap. Paid him coins to get off the label. Put out Boss Zonke. Became a classic. Family values went platinum. The rest is history.
The Sidlukotini hitmaker fired more shots at Stogie T:
I got respect for Tumi BUT honestly he needs to stop tryna claim niggaz success... I paid alot money to get out of the motif contract. He should have left it there instead of tryna bring it up in every track he puts out... let it go.— #StayShiningEP (@rikyrickworld) December 14, 2017
And Mzansi, staying true to its form, grabbed the popcorn and loaded up the memes as the drama unfolded. Here are some of their reactions:
He's probaly gonna go write more bars for his fans to be happy But this is the last time mention the guy. I would to stick around and entertain this BS but my life is actually in a good place. We making coins. We putting youngers on. Anything negative can take a backseat. ✌🏾— #StayShiningEP (@rikyrickworld) December 14, 2017

When we send flowers to someone,
flowers need to be plucked, which is a kind of killing them :(
Today I sent flowers to my wife but I did not pluck any, nor bought any.:)
I saw in our garden some really beautiful flowers that had started blooming.
I took a picture and sent it to my wife via WA. :)
It was an unusual gesture, I had not done it before. Since sending real flowers is not part of the culture where we live, it still created some happiness, at least a smile.
Sending pictures of flowers to our loved ones will give them flowers that do not wilt, flowers seen from a very personal viewpoint, with a very personal touch... 😉

Let me introduce myself
By day I am the girl next door, the quiet type, inconspicuously I mingle in this strange world where I make my way through everyday life. But I hold a dark secret...By night I visit other worlds, parallel universes, and I bring back from my travels images and stories I share through my art.
I am but a lonesome traveler. I am the one who ventures into the imaginary, opening gates to bizarre places...Gates to take you from the smallness of the cell to the great expanse of outer space, from fantasy to nightmare, and to all the worlds in between. So come along, transgress the line between reality and illusion and join me on my nocturnal rides into the heart of a weird vision.
You are about to embark on a strange journey...Beyond imagination.

(ROSEBURG, Ore.) — The gunman in the Umpqua Community College massacre was identified Thursday evening as Chris Harper Mercer, 26, according to three law enforcement sources briefed on the case.
According to the law enforcement sources, authorities were dispatched to the residences of Mercer's family members to conduct interviews and gather evidence.
Ian Mercer, the suspected shooter's father, briefly spoke to reporters outside of his home Thursday, calling the situation a "devastating day for me and my family."
The gunman opened fire at the school, in Roseburg, Oregon, just before 10:40 a.m., leaving 10 dead and at least seven others injured, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Police responded and engaged the shooter in a gun battle, killing him. It was not clear if the gunman was counted among the 10 dead.
The motive for the shooting, which drew an emotional response from President Obama, was not known, but investigators were poring over messages the suspected gunman behind. Law enforcement sources said that four guns, including an AR-style rifle were found at the scene.

Cambodia is a country filled with the Khmer cultures and beliefs. Angkor is the city of temples and is situated between the Kulen Mountains and the Tonal sap Lake. The city contains many remains of the capital city of Khmer Empire. These many temples that you find here are nothing but the skeleton of the vast social, political and religious center of a huge empire.
Here are the best 5 temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia:-
The Angkor Wat temple:
Angkor Wat is one of the most spectacular and largest of all the temples present in Angkor. The temple occupies an area of more or less 200 hectares, i.e., four hundred and ninety-four acres. There is a huge "rectangular reservoir" surrounding the temple, this rises up in a series of "three rectangular terraces" to the "central shrine". The height of this tower is two hundred and thirteen meters. The structure of the temple is based on the beliefs of the Khmer kingdom.
Bayon Temple:
The Bayon temple is said to be featuring a sea of more than two hundred massive faces made of stone. The smiles on the faces make people curious. Many say that the facers are the portraits of the Khmer King Jayavarman VII or the combination of the Buddha and the king himself. It is the only temple at the religious state of Angkor built solely for as the "Mahayana Buddhist Shrine" dedicated to Lord Buddha. If you want to know much about this temple, contact any Cambodia tour operator.
Ta Prohm:
The ruin of Ta Prohm temple is brilliant for photography. The tresses that have grown outside the temple will give you feel of an early explorer. When the other temples remind you about the Khmer arts and cultures, this temple will remind you about the jungle power.
Angkor Thom:
Angkor Thom is the last capital of the Khmer kingdom. This temple city sets up a new standard for the architecture of the monuments. This was built as part of the "reaction to the surprise sacking of the Angkor by Chams". The wall of the city has a "sanctuary Tower" at every corner and five gates for entry. Each gate has four faces similar to the Bayon temple, towered on the top. The best way to enter into this temple is through the south gate because it is lined with 54 gods and demons depicting the famous Hindu legend "Churning of the Ocean Milk."
Banteay Srei:
Banteay Srei is one of the smallest temples of Angkor, located far away from the chief group of temples. But it is still very much popular amongst the tourists because of its beautiful carvings. It is considered as a precious jewel of the Khmer art. The structure is made up of fine grains of pink sandstones.
These are the five most magnificent temples of Angkor Wat. The largest temple being the Angkor Wat is the best amongst all. Hire a tour guide to get the best deals on Cambodia tours.

This was my first official encounter with the Dejah Thoris character and comic, but if this is the kind of story to be expected from this universe, it will also be my last. I'm not sure what I was hoping for in this book, apart from maybe an otherworldly space adventure starring some badass royal, but this confirms for me why that John Carter movie did so terribly, and was enough to instantly sap any latent interest I may have had in the franchise. The first issue of this new Dynamite series begins with an ousted and disgraced Thoris as she is fresh on her reemergence to power by way of gladiatorial combat. What happens next is a long, laborious and downright boring recap of how she fell so far from grace so quickly, with a conspiracy that sees Thoris's father and king disappeared and her right to rule thrown into question, just as she herself is thrown into jail. After a lackluster escape and a lot more talking, the issue ends without a suitable wrapping up of the narrative introduced at its beginning, which apparently only happened "days ago."
To call Barbiere's script flat would be an understatement. Filled though it is with the high sentence you'd expect from a story set against a pseudo-medieval backdrop, there is little to no variance between characters, such that everyone sounds exactly the same. The exposition is repetitive, the dialogue is tedious and the general plot and pacing lack any real urgency or elegance. It's almost like a bad sitcom, with characters appearing suddenly and out of nowhere to affect some or another cursory furtherance of story, and without much of anything in the way of B or C story beats. Instead, we just get a one-dimensional damsel in distress without any real agency. Luckily, she has a killer body, I guess?
Also, in terms of a first issue, Dejah Thoris #1 does pretty much nothing to effectively illuminate the history of this character or her universe. I get that this may be geared toward returning fans, but don't you want to give something for new readers like myself, who may only have a tenuous understanding of Thoris but a desire to know more, to sink their teeth into? We get thrown a bunch of ideas -- Helium, Jed, etc. -- but nothing is fleshed-out or made to feel even remotely unique or interesting; a problem that seeps into the issue's art.
While absolutely competent, with more than a few impressive flourishes throughout, Manna's direction may be the best (read: only) good thing about this issue, but when it falters, it does so with the same errant lack of attention as its story. The most egregious example of this, yet oddly also the most consistent thing in the book, is Dejah Thoris's boobs. They look like misshapen cinnabuns, which is off-putting to say the least. Otherwise, Manna's designs are for the most part solid, but often unravel quickly, making what are otherwise interesting panelling and acting choices, as well as some lush backgrounds, feel rushed and inconsistent. There is also a bad case of Rob Liefeld-like missing feet, which is just... baffling.
Still, the art is the only thing that saves Dejah Thoris #1 from being completely unreadable, but it still doesn't do nearly enough to get me interested in coming back to this world. As someone who was excited to finally fill this blind spot in his nerd cred, that is extremely disappointing.
Score: 2/5
Dejah Thoris #1 Writer: Frank J. Barbiere Artist: Francesco Manna Colorist: Morgan Hickman Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment Price: $3.99 Release Date: 2/3/16 Format: Mini-Series; Print/Digital

Stil trying to work it out
Broke down and ordered Dish today. Sure hated to pay to watch TV, when it comes free over the antenna. Can't get anything here without either cable or satellite. Oh well, I need to have some entertainment.
Very windy today, so I opened my windows, no need for AC if you have a good breeze. Well, I am on the first floor, and the walk ways and play ground is just out side my window. Seems I had several "visitors" peering in. Good thing I was dressed! No privacy here. Plenty of birds. They are driving me nuts. They insist on building their nest on my patio light fixture. Wonder what I can do to scare them away. I understand they raise about three "families" a year! So, that's why there's bird poop all over my patio. I wondered if they were trying to tell me something!
4 comments:
I think a Roadtrek or such would be ideal. You could go traveling at a moments notice. That would be my choice. Good luck with the birds. I guess that can be annoying. As for people peeking in your window: put up some cheer curtains. You can look out but nobody can see in or maybe only outlines. There.... I fixed you all up ☺ReplyDelete
Hi. I've been following your blog for awhile. I think that if you question your choice of the apartment you should go back and reread all that you wrote about suffering during the winter. You surely don't want to repeat those experiences. Better to have that home base and travel when it's convenient! Also, are you meeting people? New friends there will help.ReplyDelete
Good luck. Rose
Why don't you take a test run in a van camper to see if you feel "closed in"? I stayed in one and had nightmares about it closing in on me and I was very uncomfortable with lack of space. Maybe a super B or class C?ReplyDelete
I have a lot of faith in you. You will figure it all out when you don't have the mess of unpacking staring you in the face. When you get everything put away I think traveling plans will fall in place for you.ReplyDelete

Wet rising mains are intended for use by the fire brigade or other trained personnel.
They are vertical mains fitted into staircase enclosures or other suitable positions, with outlet valves on each floor and connected to an automatic water supply.
Wet rising mains are designed to supply 1500 litres per minute for 45 minutes as a minimum.
The water supply consists of a tank with a minimum nominal size of 45m3 which is split across 2 compartments/tanks and 2 automatic fire pumps (duty and stand-by).
The tank has a breeching inlet fitted at ground level to enable the fire brigade to fill the wet riser tank remotely, it also must have an automatic infill valve from the towns' main to ensure the tank is maintained full at all times.
The tanks are fitted with an automatic warning system to allow the fire brigade to know at what level the tanks are to avoid tank becoming empty or overfilled.
To comply with the current British Standard BS9990 2015 the minimum outlet pressure required at each wet riser valve is 8 bars. Due to the height of the building and the pressures used, pressure regulating valves (PRV's) are fitted to the outlets at each floor.
In addition a permanent means of testing needs also to be provided this is usually done by means of a test drain which discharges either to a drain, sump or returned to the wet riser tank.
Buildings constructed prior to 2006 will have outlet pressures of 4 to 5 Bars. Changes to the British Standards in 2006 now recommend an outlet pressure of 8 Bars, this recommendation does not affect installations installed before this date.

It's been said before, but it bears saying again: Your brand is not your logo. It's not your color scheme, or your tagline, or even your principles or your market segments or your penetration. Your brand is the gut feeling regular people get when they think of your company.
This includes your customers, suppliers, partners, employees, investors, enemies, and general public. It is shaped by the way you interact with them, in every phone conversation, transaction, and problem escalation.
These are the only things that matter. The other stuff people normally call "branding" is just window dressing that clarifies and can enhance your brand value. But the real branding is done in your day-to-day operations, not in the marketing, PR or design department.
People love Amazon because you can get just about any piece of media or media equipment you want at the best price anywhere, and it's easy and fast – despite how bad the logo and Web site look.
People love Netflix because it emancipated millions of us from video-store slavery with its free mailing system, easy online queues, and no late fees. Its "branding" people think of is nothing more than a reminder (in the form of a red envelope) of the joy of escaping from video store hell.
People love Macs because they don't ask you to tell the computer when you connect a camera. It just knows. And they don't make you hunt and search for drivers with every new printer or piece of software. They just install automatically. Compared with people's traditional experiences, that's a welcome relief. The fact that they're prettier is just window dressing on that key benefit.
To really stand out, you need to deliver your product or service like no one has ever done before. It's not enough to be a "leading provider of ___ solutions." You need to change their expectations of the entire market.
Why do people love your company? Do they know? Do they have a reason?

BEIJING It may not deserve top billing in the minds of many Beijing Olympics basketball fans, but you can bet Thursday's United States-Greece pairing in Group B pool play has the attention of the American players.
That's because Greece is the only team to have beaten the United States since USA Basketball revamped its selection process and secured long-term commitments and involvement from top NBA stars after the bronze-medal fiasco at the 2004 Athens Games.
After two dates of preliminary pool play, the United States and Spain share top spot in Group B with 2-0 records, while Greece is 1-1, having lost to Spain but beaten Germany.
The Greek upset over the United States came in the 2006 World Championships semifinals in Japan, with current Olympians Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade playing on the U.S. squad, also coached by Mike Krzyzewski.
"Greece was really good," recalled Krzyzewski after the United States' practice Wednesday. "In that loss, we were horrible from the free-throw line. We missed at least four dunks. And we missed many wide-open shots. And we still scored 96 points.
"Sometimes your offense can save you when your defense isn't playing well," he added. "On that day, there was no savior."
The loss cost the United States a shot at the gold medal, and Anthony has said he's had Thursday's date with Greece long since circled on his calendar.
"We missed a ton of free throws, and we couldn't adjust to their pick-and-roll game," Anthony said.
The Americans expect more of the same tactics.
"From here on out, we're going to see a lot of pick and roll," said guard Jason Kidd. "You look at Greece two years ago, and they ran it 42 times. We'll have to communicate and make guys aware of where the pick is coming from."
Deron Williams said the American backcourt contingent is up to facing Greece's strong guards.
"I feel we have some pretty good guards as well," he said. "Hopefully, our guards will cancel them out. We plan to pressure them. They're not as deep as us or the guard line. We'll do the same thing that we've been doing and sub in and out frequently, keep the pressure up and try to force turnovers."
Greece guard Vasileios Spanoulis isn't one to live in the past and relish glories gone by. "This is a different game," he said. "The win is in the past. The USA has a team that is better and is focused better."
However, the Greeks aren't awestruck of the athletic Americans.

I told Dooley that at age five he was technically too young to run for President but he believed the so- called "dog years" adjustment qualified him for a run. He also reminded me that there is nothing specifically in the constitution prohibiting a dog from running….and, he reminded me, running is one of the things he does best. I wished him good luck but I knew he would never have the gumption to fill out the forms, organize an exploratory committee or gather the required number of names in each state to enter the primary races. Besides, how would ever raise the $600,000,000 now deemed necessary to gain a nomination in this country. A few days later we got a letter from the Federal Elections Commission, addressed to Dooley Lincoln, accepting his candidacy. Apparently, he had long been an admirer of Lincoln and a last name was required on the forms. I knew, then, this dog was serious. "What party are you affiliated with", I asked, "The Flea party?" " No" , he said," I'm running as a Dependent." "The majority of voting dogs in this country identify strongly with dependency. Our slogan is, "What's good for your owner is good for us." There are over 80 million dogs in American households and considering only 130 million people voted in 2008, I could easily expect 55% of the votes, allowing for the indifference of some of wealthier breeds like those damn Yorkies. So, you're looking for a broad appeal of both owners and dogs… nice angle", I said," do you have a platform? What about foreign policy? Dooley jumped to my favorite footstool and looked pensive…a look I'd never seen from him before. "Our relations with foreign nations will be determined largely by how a nation treats its animal population, both domestic and wild. Happy animals are a far better indicator of a nation's worth in this world than their political ideology. "I like that. How about education? ", I asked "My stand on education is, perhaps, my most controversial platform plank. I would eliminate formal schooling completely. This country spends almost 600 billion dollars a year to educate its young when, in fact, everything anyone needs to know is available for free from books, the internet and life experience. There would be a need for an incentive program that would include not just financial rewards for demonstrations of self- education achievement but a recognition and sharing of that achievement that would lead to better jobs and associations with others who could mentor them in their chosen field." So, in simple terms," I asked," if I learn to roll over and sit up, and demonstrate that ability, I get a treat. That could work. How about taxes and the economy?" Taking a breath, he said, "Taxes are a complicated issue and related directly to the economy. This country was sparked by what was perceived as unfair taxation of tea in 1773 and over the years we have forgotten that. Taxation is now a solution for bad management and the wholesale wasting of the taxpayer's money. It's not that taxes are too high; it's that we have too many taxes, too many fees. Then Dooley pulled out a crudely written list. I suspect the chickens helped him with this. On the list were over one hundred taxes, fees and examples of double taxation and indirect taxes (fines, penalty taxes} we all pay. It was and eye opener. "All the taxes on the list were not in existence 100 years ago. " He added. "Nice statement of the problem. Sounds a little like tea party talk. What is your solution Mr. President?" I asked. "The fundamental issue for all our problems, not just taxes, misspending and greed , is true representation of the American people by our lawmakers. How many times have you heard politicians say in the first person," My beliefs and convictions don't allow me to vote for this bill." Shouldn't they be saying instead, " My constituents believe this bill is not right for the country at this time"? Who are they representing?" he said, twisting his head a bit to the side looking for, I believe, a "good boy" reaction from me. I was silent. "So first," he went on, " I would seek to revote special privilege from congressional members. Pay would be equivalent to the median income of the American people. They would be required to pay for their own healthcare. They would be subject to all laws and have no special immunity. It would be illegal for them to accept any gratuity, in any form, from anyone. I would declare a moratorium on new laws. Congress would have to spend the next two years removing and simplifying laws instead of……." "Wait a minute, Dooley," I interrupted," how, as President, are you going to make all this happen. Do you think any congressman would vote to make these changes?" I asked. "I would tell them to." he snapped, jumping to his most fearsome stance. (No, it's not too fearsome.) "It doesn't work that way, my friend," I said, not wanting to deflate him too much. "Then I'll write my own laws," he retorted. "The President can't, that is Congress's job." I explained. "But I heard Mr. Romney say that Obama should quit asking Congress to make changes and write his own legislation because he was the President," he said. "I know, I heard that too, after the State of the Union Speech. That just indicates that Mr. Romney is ignorant of the fundamentals of the office he seeks," I said. Dooley looked puzzled. Then he said with renewed conviction, " Then , I want to be King"
Don't we all, Dooley, don't we all.

Oxford Orpheus' Celebration of Mozart in Support of the School's Chorister Outreach Programme
All who were present at the majestic Victorian Oxford Town Hall on Saturday evening were captivated by the power of Mozart's possibly best loved (and most widely performed) sacred works, the Mass in C Minor and Requiem.
Dimitrios, who joined CCCS this term as a Cardinal Scholar, has been hailed as the best Under 10 chess player in Greece. Dimitrios, nine, secured his victory in the International Chess Competition in Apokoronas, Crete, after beating a 15-year-old in a four and a half hour match.
Boys at Christ Church Cathedral School enjoyed a morning of browsing books and munching on cakes at the pop-up bookshop which came to the School. The innovation was the brainchild of Mr Watson, Head of English at CCCS, and Mrs Virgin, who runs Jaffé & Neale bookshop, in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Christ Church Cathedral School (CCCS) is the first winner of a county cup which recognises contribution to community music. The Oxfordshire Community Hub Music Service award was given to the School in recognition of its Cathedral Choristers' Outreach work over the past decade.
It was a beautiful sunny Saturday morning, as Choristers, Organ Scholars and Chorister Parents, both past and present, came together to celebrate the Choir's former and current successes and share their special memories, experiences and anecdotes from years gone by.
Alistair Pollard, Chairman of The Federation of Cathedral Old Choristers' Associations (FCOCA), took time off from the Federation's AGM at Christ Church on Saturday, 6th May, to tour the School's recently refurbished boarding accommodation.
Worcester Choir has held its first Open Afternoon to enable chorister hopefuls to experience the life of a Worcester Chorister. Sixteen boys, both from within CCCS and beyond, joined Worcester College's Director of Chapel Music, Tom Allery, for the afternoon.
The 2015 CCCSPA Summer Ball took place on Friday, 3rd July. It commenced with Croquet and Champagne in Christ Church's splendid Masters' Garden, followed by a sumptuous dinner with fine wines and dancing to live band "Night Moves" until midnight. It was a wonderful event greatly enjoyed by all.

Amanda Gruenwald: New Paintings - Art Collector
|Amanda Gruenwald: Alizarin Pink, 2016. 180 x 120 cm. Acrylic and oil on canvas. Courtesy: the artist and Trish Clark Gallery.
Amanda Gruenwald, distinguishing herself as a formidable emerging artist, presents her first exhibition at Trish Clark Gallery. A 2012 graduate of Auckland University's Elam School of Fine Arts, and the recipient of 2 awards in her final year, Gruenwald has developed an ambitious painting practice, working at scale and taking colour and form as her subjects.
Working primarily in oil over extended timeframes, Gruenwald's process of erasure and addition builds and subtracts layers of paint, oscillating between translucent washes and concrete brushwork. Her distinctive shapes collide, bleed and fray into one another, as she mediates a balance between deliberation and intuition.
Exhibition opens: 5.30pm Tuesday 7 February 2017
Exhibition closes: 18 March 2017
Location: Trish Clark Gallery, 1 Bowen Avenue, Auckland, New Zealand

Bailiwick Windows, 2016
An enjoyable return back to Prism after our Summer off! Most people agreed that the subject of "Bailiwick Windows" was a bit tricky, but we ended up with a good selection of Guernsey Houses, Churches, Island Views and even a couple of quirky ones to peruse over our tea, coffee & biscuits.
Annie gave us her feedback from judging the nature "Flora" submissions for her new "Nature" trophy – apparently everyone scored over 80 but she still managed to provide helpful criticism for each and every photo (especially the ones of animals that had slightly missed the mark).

Sustainable TALL SHIPS EVENT – On Land
A lot of work goes into putting on an event like the The Tall Ships Races and the ports try to ensure it leaves a positive, lasting impact on the community.
Halmstad is a sustainable event, awarded with an environmental certificate. This means the event aims to make the least possible environmental impact, and to benefit society as much as possible. To meet this standard the event has been audited by an independent approved auditor who has officially verified that the event meets the necessary requirements.
Initiatives include biodegradable mugs and plates, organic and vegetarian dishes.. There is a sustainability themed square; waste plans and guides and recycling points for paper, plastic and glass throughout the site. Young people and those with special needs are supported to work on the event and a 'sailing for integration project' has been encouraging new Swedish sailors to sail together.
There are good cycle paths and bikes are available for crews to rent and there is a great public bus service to help everyone explore the city more widely.
The beautiful environment around Halmstad is also promoted to encourage crew to explore the stretches of sandy beach in Őstra Stranden, Vástra Stranden and the most loved beach of all, Tylösand. Fishing is available nearby for a moment of peace and quiet and there is a beautiful, marked walk along the coast which begins at Halmstad Castle.

Possibly the most famous brujo today in beautiful downtown Catemaco, was not a brujo.
Julian Moreno Benitez, nicknamed "El Brujo" parlayed boat engine repair, spare parts and an inheritance into building one of the first hotels on the Malecón overlooking the Catemaco Laguna.
When the Malecón was modernized, one of the 6 plazas jutting into Laguna Catemaco was named "Plazuela del Brujo", to honor him. When he died in 2004, the city permitted the erection of a small bust of "El Brujo" sitting in a boat on that plaza.
His Hotel del Brujo now has 14 rooms, some with air conditioning, but has no on site parking. Four of the rooms face the Laguna and feature great views of the lake. Room decor is minimal but adequate, and area maintenance is excellent. Rates are seasonal, ranging from 250 to 600 pesos.
The hotel was for sale for several years and is currently being managed by a leaseholder, who is not one of my favorite people. The location on the Malecon is one of the best in Catemaco. Unfortunately on the weekends the area is the center of raunchiness in Catemaco, and will require closed windows and AC to get a good night's sleep.
One of the hotel's best feature is the views of Catemaco from its rooftop.
Calle Melchor Ocampo y Malecón.

As we reported earlier, John Cena proposed to his girlfriend Nikki Bella after they were victorious at Wrestlemania 33. On Monday morning they revealed the details behind their moment on the Today Show with Al Roker. It turns out Cena had been planning to pop the question for a long time.
John recanted on the show that he has had a lot of surgeries and Nicole was by his side anytime he would be put under anesthesia, the drug would act as a sort of truth serum where a person could ask him anything they wanted.
Bella used the opportunity to ask John all kinds of questions when he was under the effect of the "truth serum" to satisfy her curiosity, but this one time the roles reversed.
When the doctors put her under anesthesia to correct an injury Bella had suffered, Cena made sure he would be the last person to wheel her into the operation room, and he used his opportunity to ask her if she would like to get married someday.
It ended up being John's secret for a year and a half, and Bella didn't remember a word of it. Bella asked Cena what he had asked her during her one moment of total truthfulness, but Cena would never tell her until the "time was right."
It turns out that Sunday night was the perfect time for John to bring it back up again.
Bella said she never would've thought John would propose in front of all those people like that. She referred to WWE as their home together, their passion, and their life. She described John as her prince charming. The WWE star said, "It was perfect."
Cena has said in the past he would never get married, but Bella changed his mind because she is the right person.
