In Health and Social Care students have the chance to develop skills, qualities and knowledge needed to work in the health and social care sector. This includes understanding the importance of a person's needs, careful listening, communication skills, anatomy, physiology and the impact of diet on health. We provide preparation for a wide range of careers within the care field including nursing, social work and working with children in a variety of settings.
We teach BTEC courses which can be completed by students in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.
Health and Social Care BTEC Award:
At Key Stage 4 the course is split over four units which cover a number of different aspects of health and social care. This ranges from the development of a person to nutrition.
Unit 1 – Lifespan Development:
In this unit students will learn how people grow and develop throughout their lives and how factors such as genes, our environment and the people we choose to have relationships with affect this growth and development. This unit is exam based.
Unit 2 – Health and Social Care Values:
This unit aims to show and help students understand the values. This includes treating individuals with dignity and respect, confidentiality and safeguarding individuals to ensure their physical and emotional safety. This is imperative to good health and social care practice. This unit is assessment based.
Unit 3 – Effective Communication in Health and Social Care:
This unit looks at verbal and non-verbal communication methods and helps show students how they can be used effectively in health and social care. Communication is incredibly important when working in health and social care in order to build relationships with a variety of people. This unit is assessment based.
Unit 6 – The Impact of Nutrition on Health and Wellbeing:
This unit shows students how important a healthy diet and exercise is. Students will learn what a balanced diet is and how an unbalanced diet can affect a person's health. It will also cover how dietary needs change over a lifespan and how different conditions need specific dietary plans and advice.
British Values Business & Enterprise
Health & Social Care
Studying Health and Social Care supports British Values in numerous ways. The course allows students to explore working in care, what that means to an individual and the personal and social responsibility that they undertake. For example; students learn about the six different care values, which underpin all working practices in care. These values are; Respect for the Individual, Confidentiality, Dignity, Safeguarding, Duty of Care and Person-Centred Approach. The main theme of these values not only applies in Health and Social Care settings but can also be applied to everyday life.

"What the f**k is that?" I thought as it rolled up to my B&B in Ecuador.
Baffled, my Ecuadorian friend with me at the time, had never seen one in his entire life.
After all, Mobile Homes are a VERY uncommon sight in Ecuador.
But there was one sitting right outside my place.
You see, as I mentioned yesterday, due to the high import tariffs on new vehicles and tight import restrictions on used ones, prices for cars in Ecuador even through the used car dealership Houston service are often double those in the US.
In fact, cars over 4 years old are simply not allowed in nor are cars over a certain engine strength (find details on this page). A definite negative to life in Ecuador.
Single women got cats, guys got cars we sometimes just can't leave behind… I know, I get that.
So how'd these two young guys from Oregon get their year 2000 (approx) RV into Ecuador?
I mean you can't just drive it down, there's no road that connects Panama to Colombia.
Here's what they did, and what you can do if you got that car you can't leave behind.
They drove it down from the US to Panama. Then they put it on a boat from Panama to Cartagena, Colombia for $1200. Then they drove it down to Ecuador.
When you enter Ecuador with a car, your passport gets stamped saying you came with a car, and when you leave it has to be with that car.
But you can drive it around with US plates and your US license.
But you can't sell it, or register it in Ecuador without passing through all the sticky vehicle import regulations Ecuador imposes.
It'd be for your personal use only during your stay in Ecuador.
You know, just in case you can't leave your "baby" at home.
Ecuador is worth the hassle, believe me! Your new life is waiting!

Discover Appropriate Nutritional Habits Within Just Minutes
Nutrition can be daunting to the uninitiated. Learning about all of the various nutrients a healthy body needs can be quite a task. This article has tips to help you organize the information so you can eat better.
Chocolate is not your enemy. While candy bars are obviously an unhealthy choice, dark chocolate is a much healthier alternative. Dark chocolate has much less fat and calories than milk chocolate, and consuming a little bit of it can reduce your sweet tooth and has even proven to increase your life span.
Many people don't like to bother with breakfast. One reason to focus on good nutrition in the morning is that your brain has literally been fasting all night: You need that boost of energy and protein in the morning to get your brain and body working quickly for the day. A good protein-and-fruit-based breakfast smoothie will provide a quick way to improve your nutrition profile from the time you wake http://www.vogue.com/article/beauty-supplement-benefits-collagen-bee-pollen up in the morning.
To improve your nutrition, you should keep track of what you eat. All food contains a certain number of calories that you should add up, to make sure you meet the amount of calories that you need everyday. Counting calories also helps you to reduce the quantity of food that you eat, if you tend to overeat.
Make sure that you are getting enough vitamin E in your diet. Vitamin E is a great antioxidant that helps maintain the health of cell membranes. It has potential benefits in the protection of the heart against disease. Vitamin E is also important to the health of your eyes and plays a role in the prevention of cataracts.
To help maintain a healthy lifestyle, try to increase your consumption of vegetables. Baby carrots are a quick snack and a great source of both vitamin A and C. Fresh vegetables are best, but frozen veggies hold their nutritional values better than canned. Salads are a quick and tasty way to get healthy greens, but don't go overboard on the dressing.
Whenever it is available, choose whole grain bread over white bread. You can use whole grain bread for homemade stuffing, dinner rolls, and bread for sandwiches. Whole grain bread is healthier than white bread. You can also try to use wild rice in place of white rice. White rice is as unhealthy for you as whole bread is.
A great nutritional tip is to make sure you eat before and after your workouts. It's important to eat before you work out because your body will need plenty of fuel. It's also very important to eat within a half hour of lifting weights because it will help your muscles recover.
Vitamins and health supplements are just that; supplements. They are made to be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet, not in place of it. If you are taking too many pills and supplements, you risk doing more damage to your health than good. Have your doctor test your blood to see what vitamins you are deficient in, and focus on taking just these.
Foods marketed as health foods are not always as healthy as you may think they are. Be sure to always check the nutritional information on the packaged or prepared foods that you eat and pay attention to the serving sizes as well. A snack food may have small amount of fat per serving, but if you eat several servings at a time, the small amounts of fat can add up.
Do you best to limit the amount of processed and packaged foods that you consume. These foods are very high in refined sugars and fats that will really catch up with you. Try to take the time to prepare fresh, healthy meals that are made up of proper nutritional values.
The key to better nutrition is gaining a sound education of portion sizes, and your body's daily caloric processing ability. For most people the FDA has issued charts to help you get this information, but for some people with higher or lower metabolisms this can vary. The main thing to focus on is balancing out a good variety of different foods for your body to get a little bit of everything.
One way to ensure that your cabinets are filled with only nutritious and low-fat foods is by taking the extra time to carefully consider each item on your regular shopping list. Before you go shopping for groceries, think about whether each product has a healthier or reduced-fat alternative, or if you should even purchase it in the first place.
Remember to drink lots of water throughout the day. It has many benefits unrelated to diet as well but when you are trying to lose weight it can help to satisfy the psychological need to put something in your mouth and stomach. It will also help to feel http://obtechcorp.com/?7858525-understanding-the-fundamentals-of-selling-supplements-online more full even when you are not.
Slow down and savor your food when you are eating. Eating slowly will allow you to sense when your body is full and let you stop eating. If you eat quickly, you may miss the cues that signal you are full and you will consume too many calories which can lead to weight gain.
Protein intake is really important for staying full and minimizing portion sizes. This does not mean that double cheeseburgers are a great idea for lunch, but it does mean that simple proteins like nuts and legumes can be excellent for keeping you full for longer. These natural energy sources are great for sustained energy.
Cheat on your diet once and a while, especially if you are on a low calorie diet. When you take in less calories than usual, your metabolic rate slows down, so suprising your body one day with some high calorie foods will help speed up your metabolism and burn fat faster.
A good nutrition tip for people trying to eat healthy is not to avoid the foods that you crave. Eating a chocolate bar every once in awhile is not all that bad. Consequently if you continuously deprive yourself of foods you want, you are going to be less likely to stick with your healthy eating habits.
So, after reading and applying the helpful tips listed above, you should feel a bit more at ease when it comes to proper nutrition. You have the information and now it's time to use it. You should feel empowered and ready to begin improving your daily diet, so that you can start living a better life.

Vortex flow meters utilize the smallest strut in the industry, which allows for high levels of sensitivity; superior performance at low flow rates; high turndown ratios; and low pressure drop. Through the use of an internal RTD and an external pressure sensor (optional), the flow meter software will compensate for changes in pressure and temperature, to achieve an accurate mass flow measurement (gas meters).
Vortex flow meters are suitable for measuring steam as well as a variety of liquids and gases. As fluid moves across a vortex meter shedder bar, vortices form. The frequency of the vortices shedding is proportional to the fluid velocity.

Tip #1: To remove 'noise' if your web server is shared by multiple apps, use 'grep' to filter patterns that you are interested:
grep -i 'mypattern' access_log-20170328 > filtered_access_log-20170328
Tip #2: Although GoAccess has the ability to get input from multiple files, you can also combine all your log files via 'cat':
cat a.log b.log c.log > d.log
Log format settings from httpd.conf:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %D" common
Note: The assumption was to take the Apache log format verbatim, since GoAccess supports the Apache log file format. After much trial and error, the log format for GoAccess is as below. The most frustrating issue was the response times getting rendered as 0.00us due to the inclusion of ">" in %>s. GoAccess only recognises %s.
Open file: /usr/local/Cellar/goaccess/1.2/etc/goaccess.conf, and set the following (adjust based on your own log patterns):
time-format %H:%M:%S
date-format %d/%b/%Y
log-format %h %l %u [%d:%t %^] "%m %U %H" %s %b %D
Save the file after editing, and run the following (assuming log filename is access_log):
goaccess access_log -o report.html -q
-o: Report file. For HTML report, specify a filename with *.html extension
-q: Ignore query string i.e., www.google.com/page.htm?query => www.google.com/page.htm
My output/report:
The man page (https://goaccess.io/man) has the full options available.
Side note: Why not AWStats (http://www.awstats.org/)? It was my 1st choice, but I was working on a Macbook, and the easiest route was GoAccess (just use brew to install). AWStats needed Perl and only had ready RPMs at its website's download page. Plus, GoAccess has a more impressive UI dashboard, and I needed to show some fancy stats to biz...

Mumbai's 'lost' plan to cut traffic
A decongestion scheme for Mumbai similar to Delhi's even-odd plan gathers dust 15 years after it was proposedmumbai Updated: Dec 18, 2015 00:31 IST
Fifteen years before Delhi came up with its 'odd-even' licence plate scheme to cut traffic congestion, Mumbai had its own plan to reduce traffic and air pollution. But while Delhi's scheme is now the subject of debates, Mumbai's lays forgotten, gathering dust in official records. Had it been implemented, it would have cut the number of vehicles on the city's roads by at least 20%, according to the government's own estimates.
Called the 'traffic restraint scheme' (TRS), the scheme was simple and, some say, more liberal than the one Delhi is mulling. Vehicles would remain off the roads for one a day week depending on the last number of their licence plate. For instance, private vehicles whose plates ended in 1 or 2 would have to stay off the roads on Mondays, 3 and 4 on Tuesdays, and so on. On Saturdays and Sundays, there would be no restrictions.
Part of the VM Lal committee report (Lal was then state transport commissioner), the scheme was the outcome of five months' work by state, the police and civil society. One of its major recommendations, that public transport vehicles be powered by CNG and not diesel, was accepted and implemented. However, the TRS proposal remained on paper.
The TRS scheme was different in many ways from the one that Delhi is considering. For one, it only applied to the island city. Secondly, the restrictions would be enforced only between 9am and 5pm. The report was submitted to the Bombay high court, which had ordered the formation of the committee as part of its response to a public interest litigation on air pollution. However, the case drags on, while subsequent state governments show little willingness to adopt such a bold scheme.
Activist Meher Rafat, who represented Clean Air, which is now called 'NAGAR', said, "Our mantra was simple when creating the report: congestion causes pollution. This scheme was to ensure that the problem didn't escalate in Mumbai as it has in Delhi."
According to Dr PS Pasricha, retired director general of police, who was also on the panel as joint commissioner of police (traffic), the scheme could have cut traffic by 20%. "This figure was realistic. Our aim was to implement the scheme for two years and strengthen public transport in the meantime. Next, we would have gone on to target a 50% reduction," he said. Despite being in favour of planned congestion reduction, Pasricha believes that the Delhi scheme won't work because its target is unrealistic.

-Link to series: Part 1
Seek Time: This property helps in performance gain during both data write and read operations. Column based mechanism stores all values of a column in contiguous memory location whether it is disk or memory, which enables the values of entire column to be read in one pass. All database management systems manage the data in blocks, which is typically in the range of 4 KB. When the data is available in continuous blocks as against random block storage, the system has to find out only the starting point for the operation. Based on the starting point and total quantum of data stored, the operations are fast because the whole data can be read in a single pass. (This is applicable for read operations, whereas insert and update operations are handled entirely in different manner)
Data Transfer: This is an advantage that is gained by virtue of both OLAP queries and columnar storage layout. An analytical query typically selects only a subset columns from a table, which is specific to the analysis needs. Data thus requested by a query can be either processed within the database or transferred to an application server for further manipulation. Think of a scenario where two columns are requested from a ten column table by a report with an aggregation operation. In a row based mechanism, the system has to fetch all the columns of the table and then delete unwanted columns before processing the data, whereas a column layout can skip the unwanted step. Since analytical queries are always ad-hoc in nature, this inherent capability coupled with seek time will provide good significant performance gains.
Indexing: In a BI environment, the costliest operation in terms of time consumed is a "Full Table Scan". In a row-store format, each and every row has to be sequentially parsed in order to fulfill the request. All databases provide an option to create indexes that will serve as an initial lookup point, where the system finds pointer to specific RowID's of rows to be fetched. These database objects were created and maintained in addition to the actual data table. Performance tuning activities included building indexes on columns that were used frequently in analysis. Indexes also posed overhead whenever data is inserted/updated in the table, whereby all ETL data loads will drop indexes prior to loading data.
In column store format, the additional index is eliminated because each column acts as its own index. Data of each column is stored along with RowID's because the system has to re-construct the record (tuple) after fetching relevant data. This assignment of data along with RowID is managed internally. In order to speed up query execution time, column databases provide additional indexes, which has better compression and work really well in large datasets. These indexes can be either clustered or non-clustered and multiple indexes can be defined on a column table, which is very similar to standard relational functionality.
Filter Conditions: In an typical analytical scenario, a user triggers multiple queries on the data warehouse within a short time span. This is a normal scenario because users slice and dice data at various levels of granularity in quick successions. The WHERE clause(s) in SQL is executed in a single operation because entire data set is an index by itself. Only the relevant RowID's are re-constructed, which helps in reducing memory and processing bottlenecks.

Finding photos online of swinging wives and MILFs isn't hard. You just have to know where to look. Finding the free sites can be hard if you don't know what to look for. It's not uncommon to find sites that advertise for free photos, and then try to charge you in the end. If you want truly free photos of swingers here are a few ways to find them.
Check Forums
Swinging forums are a great source for photos of real people. You'll want to sign up and start using the forum though. The better your reputation, the better your odds are of getting some photos. Some forums will require that you have so many posts before you're allowed access to the photo galleries. You also may want to be willing to post some photos of your own. Once you have a good reputation you can start accessing the photo galleries and looking for MILFs and swinging wives.
Swingers Clubs Sites
Another good resource for photos is to find actual swingers clubs with websites. If you become a member of the site you'll be given access to the photo galleries that are available. In most cases you'll need to join the actual swingers club. This doesn't mean you have to attend the events, but you can if you want. Once you're a member of the site photo galleries from other members may be available. You need to keep in mind that these photos are usually not going to be from the actual swinging events. Most clubs have a rule against taking photos during the events.

Joanne had secretly stashed a bag of 60's clothes for her and Jodie at
the pub. so that they could get changed after they arrived. Jodie's face was a picture when she walked in. She took one look at me..
and walked out again ! (I have that effect on people sometimes !!) But, she came back in and was just gobsmacked to see everyone all
dressed up. She and Joanne then got changed and here's a picture of them, looking great. Joanne's on the left and Jodie's on the right.
Of course, our Grandchildren were there too, dressed in tie-dyed stuff which Kerry had made! Here's Cameron and Kali looking groovy in their hippy gear. They look a little lost in this picture, but believe me, they had a great time.
Here's baby Aaliyah in her tie-dyed babygro with Simon in a long black wig. Poor Aaliyah got a bit fretful and had to be taken home with the other two kids, but Simon's mum, Liz babysat to let him and Kerry come back down.
That's them, below left, propping up the bar ! On the right is Jodie and Tim in typically daft pose !
On the left are Sam and Jodie, in the middle it's Jodie and her mates. They've all been friends for years and a few of them have moved away, so it was fantastic to see them again. On the right, are Fiona and Tim getting into the party mood !
Here's Joanne looking absolutely beautiful and Tim, who was virtually unrecogniseable in a HUGE black afro wig and droopy moustache!
I hope you've enjoyed looking at the photos. Could I please ask you to take a couple of minutes to sign my guestbook (it's under the list of links below) to let me know who's been visiting ? It's simpicity itself to do and doesn't take long. I really like to hear what you have to say.

'When does Old Junk - become Archaeology?'Regular Readers will know that I am often commenting on the Object within a Material Culture, especially within a Historic framework.
The grouping in the image above was used to illustrate the point on our 'working table' over the current Artist Residency at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
The upper group of five objects was gathered on a field walk through farm land to the east of SSW at Lumsden (from left to right) :
- A broken piece of roofing slate
(Age unknown, as slate roofs have been built in scotland from at least from Historic (if not to Ancient) times through to modern construction.)
- An iron (?) wagon or farm machine hitch fitting, with a much decayed block of wood still attached
(Use of a hex head bolt suggests post 1860. The nails are 'semi wire' type, with cylindrical bodies but flat and tapered 'cut' points, again suggesting post about 1860 to about 1880.)
- Unknown material as waste
(Has the appearance of a brown glazed ceramic, but is much to light weight to be composed of clay. Top side is smooth and semi polished looking, underside course texture with embedded sand grains. Too hard for a wax, may be some kind of resin?)
- Fragment of glazed ceramic
(A course grained light grey clay body topped with a white glaze, decorated with light blue lines. )
- Broken piece of ceramic pipe
(A very rough textured clay with simple mottled brown glaze on the surface, a section of a cylinder. Other pieces were found - including a full S bend fitting that would suit installing a toilet. Suggests Victorian / +1880 manufacture.)
This group was found in a steeply sloped corner of a recently plowed field. To my eye this looks like an area only recently turned to cultivation. Perhaps once the 'corner dump' area for the current farm. Could also be the plowed over remnants of a much older farm cottage?
The lower group of three were gathered while breaking up scrap cast iron (left to right) :
- Ring of lead seal
- Joint section of cast iron pipe, showing many paint layers on the exterior
- Lengths of what appears to be hemp (?) fibre cording / packing
Although other than the mystery material, the rough dating for the found objects would appear to place them to some point between 1860 - 1880.
In Scotland, all are clearly nothing more than 'old trash'.
In Canada, objects of that age are often placed in museums.
How old, how removed from current popular culture, must an object be before it is considered 'History'?
How far past before it's recovery becomes Archaeology?
|Stone Foundations - East of Lumsden / SSW (view uphill towards South)
|Stone Foundation - North end of group - Kelly for scale
I certainly found these features to be worthy of 'Archaeology'.

Hola! Here's a Mexican favorite for you all today. Agua fresca means fresh water in Spanish. Fresh water is infused with a fruit essence in this popular Mexican drink. Any pulpy fruit like cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, orange or water melon will work well for this drink. It shouldn't taste like a smoothie, so strain the blended fruit pulp and mix it with water to give it a fruity taste. This is a perfect, light and refreshing thirst quencher on a warm summer afternoon. Drink up amigos, after all its summer somewhere in the world.
1 ripe mango, pitted, peeled and cut into chunks
1.5 cups cold water
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon honey or sugar ( I used honey)
lime wedge for garnish
1. Combine mango and water and blend until smooth.
2. Pour through a strainer into a pitcher.
3. Stir in the lime juice and honey.
4. Garnish with lime wedges.

Starting a Business: Company vs. Unit Trust
Traditionally, the formation and use of trusts has had the practical effect of providing an alternative or filling a gap in an otherwise functional yet imperfect arrangement. In medieval England the legal system operated under the common law on the basis of writs.
If someone wanted to make a claim against another, it had to be achieved by invoking a writ, or more familiarly, a cause of action. If a proposed claim fell outside of the acknowledged writs, well, you were "s*** outta luck".
At the same time in the ye olde feudal network, a need arose to have someone hold the legal title of property (trustee) for the benefit or future title of another (beneficiary). Of course, absent a writ to enforce this fair but confusing logic, recourse was naturally sought via the King of England, or rather his representative, the Lord Chancellor. To cut a long story short, through the Courts of Chancery, a new branch of law developed, aptly named Equity, to govern all things 'trusts'.
Today, trusts are popularly utilised as a wealth management tool for families, investment, superannuation and as a business structure.
In the past we have published a comparative post evaluating the differences between sole trader and company operations. At a largely more analogous or parallel level, however, are the company and unit trust options. Both are viable legal structures for your business activities. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages with regards to regulation, taxation, liability and overall maintenance.
It is important to bear in mind your intention for creating a business, what you hope to achieve and why, as you research the most suitable structure for your own circumstances.
What is a company?
A company is a legal entity in its own right, created for the purpose of carrying out business activities or for use as a corporate trustee.
Company creation and maintenance is highly regulated. It must be registered through ASIC, to where any changes to company details must also be lodged. It is subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and further, must abide by obligations arising from the company constitution and/or replaceable rules.
Proprietary limited companies, such that we register, must have at least one director and one shareholder at first instance. A public officer should also be nominated as a point of contact for the ATO within three months of the company undertaking business activity, though the appointment of a secretary is optional.
A company can exist forever, provided that ASIC's annual review fees are paid and the company remains solvent.
Though used predominantly for business practices rather than investment, a company can make a profit. This profit can be held and invested by the company and does not require distribution between shareholders at the end of each financial year, as is the case with unit trusts.
A highly attractive feature of the company structure is the limited liability for directors and shareholders. As a legal entity a company can sue and be sued. If held liable for wrongdoing or the repayment of debt, the personal wealth and assets of shareholders are not affected. On that note, a shareholder does not have a direct interest in the company's assets. When a shareholder exits a company, it is the shares that transfer to another holder, not the physical asset.
The control of a company rests in the hands of its directors. As well as ensuring legal compliance by way of keeping books and records up-to-date and trading only when solvent, a director has a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of the company. This includes carrying out duties in good faith, not taking improper advantage of the position or inside information for personal gain and using the same care and skill as a reasonable person in the same position.
The income tax rate for companies is set at 30%, far less than the maximum threshold for individuals, which currently sits around the 46.5% mark.
What is a unit trust?
A unit trust is a sound alternative to a company when creating a legal structure for business activities. In this type of trust unit holders accept or apply for units in the trust in a similar sense to shareholders obtaining shares in a company. A unit holder may contribute to the trust property, which is held and often invested by the trustee on behalf of the unit holders.
A unit trust is created via private agreement, not through a government regulatory authority such as ASIC. Trusts are far less regulated than companies and can be less costly to create and administer, provided that nothing goes wrong. Changes to a trust deed, rather than conforming to ASIC protocol, can be made via a deed of amendment enacted by a legal professional. Of course these alterations must be procedurally consistent with the existing trust deed to avoid the creation of an entirely new trust relationship in the process.
A trust is not a separate legal entity in itself and therefore, cannot make a profit. At the end of each financial year income must be distributed to unit holders proportionate to the amount of units held. The trustee has no discretion in this arrangement and must disseminate funds based on the unit holding structure, which is fixed. This regular disbursal results in a 50% discount on Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Income tax is payable on an individual basis, assessed on the personal tax rate of each unit holder, or the corporate tax rate if a unit holder is a company.
The trustee maintains extensive powers of investment and can be held personally liable for any debt incurred by the trust, yet can also be indemnified for expenses from the trust property. The relationship between the trustee and beneficiaries, or unit holders is recognised as fiduciary in nature, creating an obligation on the part of the trustee to avoid conflicts of interest and not to profit from their role as trustee.
A trust cannot live forever. Where a vesting date has not been set, nor the trust formally terminated, it will cease to exist after 80 years, pursuant to the _Rule Against Perpetuitie_s, operating in all Australian States except South Australia.
On that note, a trust is much easier to wind up than a company. It must be carried out in accordance with the trust deed, by consent of all parties to the trust, once the trust property has been properly dispensed and tax obligations have been met, such as CGT and Stamp Duty payments.
Unit holders must be aware of the high liability and very limited asset protection offered by the unit trust structure. Since unit holders have a proprietary interest in the trust assets, in the event that a unit holder becomes bankrupt, these assets may be sold to make repayments. Similarly, if a corporate trustee becomes insolvent and there is insufficient trust property to satisfy a third party creditor, the creditor may elect to trace a claim against the unit holders. In this way, a unit trust is only as good as its management.This information is of a general nature only and does not constitute professional advice. You must seek professional advice in relation to your particular circumstances before acting.

When it comes to suffering an injury at work, employees have quite a bit of responsibility if they want to file a successful claim. Just know that access to workers' compensation benefits is never guaranteed. You likely won't receive benefits if you were injured at work while intoxicated, on drugs, while committing a crime or while breaking a company policy. So, what are the employee responsibilities when it comes to a claim?

Tips for riding a motorcycle in the fall
Riding a motorcycle is one of the most exhilarating hobbies you can have. It is also one of the most dangerous. There's zero protection for riders and many motorists fail to see motorcycles on the roads around them. Here are some important safety tips for riding your motorcycle this fall season in New Hampshire.
What do I do if I spot a drunk driver?
Getting behind the wheel is a very dangerous task that billions of people partake in each day. There's no guarantee that the other motorists around you will be as safe and observant as you. There's no guarantee that other motorists will drive with little to no distractions. There's also no guarantee that there won't be a drunk driver on the roads at the same time you are. So, what do you do if you spot a drunk driver?
The landlord of a property can be held liable for a variety of reasons. One reason that might surprise you is that the dog of a tenant bit another person. For the most part, the tenant in these cases is held liable for a dog bite and not the landlord. But, there are times when the landlord and the tenant can be held liable in such a case in Portsmouth.

Welcome the second installment of the 'Nine Rules of Lettings'.
Earlier this week, we started the countdown with Rule #9 (click here), where we looked at the size of the rental market. We discussed what was the best size of rental market for a letting agency to open up in (or grow in) by using the 'big fish in a small
So, back to the question .. How do you judge if you have too many agents, what is about right, and even more interesting, when could there be too few agents (which would mean there could be an opportunity)? I am a sales man but I always like to have some science behind me. This is the science that I have adopted over the last few years. Remember, I have performed hundreds of hours (it was my full time job for two years) on this very subject and the results might surprise you.
Rule #8 - The property to agent ratio
Let's do the science .. the numbers. This is quite easy to do. If you recall in Rule #9, we looked at the size of the rental market by finding the number of rental properties on the market. This number hardly changes over the year and is an excellent indicator of the size of the rental market. What we are going to do is divide the number of rental properties found in Rule #9 (ie the size of the market or in the analogy - the pond) by the number of letting agents (or as in the analogy - the other fish in the the pond ... your competitor letting agents) .. thus giving a ratio of properties per agent .. simple but very effective.
To find the number of letting agents, I like to use RM. I know there are agents who don't use RM, but they don't know what they are missing! Any agent worth their salt is on Rightmove. So, on RM, across the top of the page, where it says FOR SALE, TO RENT, HOUSE PRICEs etc etc, there is a tab called AGENTS, click on that that. Then type in the name of your town as you did for Rule#9. .. but before you click FIND AGENTS, ensure you click lettings only radio button (this doesn't preclude agents that offer sales services .. it just means the sales only agents don't muddy the waters with their numbers).. click FIND AGENTS and it will tell you the number of letting agents in your town.
So in the Milton Keynes case, we had 512 available rental properties (see the rule #9 page for that) on the market and using the formula above, there are 69 agents that offer rental services, giving a ratio of 7.4 to 1 ..
..... so is 7.4 to 1 any good?
Well, it depends on many factors .. but the main one is where you are in the country.
In South East and Home Counties, hundreds of hours of research found these numbers apply ....
- 5 (and below) – the ratio is very low, possibly too low. Either too much competition or not not enough stock
- between 5 and 8 – ratio is tough but is "do'able"
- 8 to 13 – ratio is about right.
- 13 to 20 – excellent ratio the higher you go
- Above 20 + almost too high. Check that there are no student rentals in the numbers, as this is a different market. If not, you might be sitting on a potential gold mine!
In the Midlands and North, these numbers apply
- 7 (and below) – the ratio is possibly too low. Possibly too much competition
- Between 7 and 10 – ratio is tough but is doo'able
- 10 to 14 – middle of the road ratio
- 14 to 20 - really good ratio
- 20 to 30 – excellent ratio
- Above 30 + almost too high. Check that there are no student rentals in the numbers, as this is a different market. If not, you might be sitting on a potential gold mine!
I must stress, there always exceptions to the rules. Certain London suburbs dont comply to these rules and posh towns in the Midlands and North dont tend to either. Always strip out any student stock .. it messes up the figures.
The Rule #8 ratio is another signpost to compare and contrast different areas.
However, dont forget, the most important thing to remember is that Rule #1 is more important than rules #2 to #9 combined. Even if Rules #2 to #9 combined are excellent, if you don't have Rule #1 .. think very long and hard of opening up a lettings agency (or having the potential to grow)
The countdown will continue with Rule #7 next week
PS .. Joey the dog is now in fine fettle .. a pic of him with his mended ear

A Raymore man who was arrested nearly a month ago in connection to a church burglary is in jail again for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend.
Malik R. McClinton, 19, was arrested at his home in Raymore on July 6 and charged with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action in Cass County after awoman was taken to hospital with multiple stab wounds to her head, neck, shoulders, back and hand. At least one stab wound punctured her lung, police said.
According to a probable cause statement, police officers from Raymore were dispatched at 1:13 p.m. July 6 to 151 N. Crest Drive in Raymore to a disturbance in progress involving a knife. At the scene, police said they saw a female crying for help and covered in blood, walking away from the residence.
Court documents said police also saw a male, later identified as McClinton, near the porch of the residence with blood on his arms, hands and wrists.

McClinton was taken into police custody. In an interview with police, McClinton allegedly said he "lost it" and hurt his girlfriend.
The woman, 19, was in stable condition July 6 in the intensive care unit at Research Medical Center in Kansas City.
The woman told police her boyfriend, McClinton, had struck her in the face with a closed fist numerous times and stabbed her with a kitchen knife, according to court documents.
McClinton has remained in the Cass County jail since July 6 with bail set at $100,000. A court date has not yet been set in the case.
In June, McClinton was booked into the Cass County jail in a separate case where authorities said McClinton broke into a local church and damaged several items inside. Authorities said the break-in happened May 30 at the Pathway Church of Raymore, and on June 8, McClinton was arrested in connection to the incident. He was charged with second-degree burglary and first-degree property damage after an interview with a deputy of the Cass County Sheriff's Office. An arraignment in that case is scheduled July 27 in Cass County Circuit Court.

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day of your life.
May you give the gift of a kind word, a touch, or a warm smile as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but instead, learning to dance in the rain.
Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become a part of you, so that you may call upon them.
Remember those whose lives you have touched will always be a part of you.
Don't forget to be grateful for those lives who have touched yours.
May you not become too concerned with material matters but instead place greatest value on the goodness inside your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
May you always feel loved.

"There are moments when even to the sober eye of reason, the world of our sad humanity may assume the semblance of Hell. "
― Edgar Allan Poe
― Edgar Allan Poe
~To Hell~
As I watch and see him, I wonder what I can do.
I see him travel down a path that is so broad.
I see him travel down a path I do not wish to follow.
As I watch and see him, I wonder should I do something for him?
I am lazy.
I am not strong.
I see his need and smile as if the need is not there.
I see his final destination and it does not motivate me.
To Hell and never back again.
A highway with only one exit.
A place where even light does not stay.
To Hell, to Hell!
Why am I so calloused?
Why do I seem not to care?
To Hell!
Should I try and get to him before he goes?
We drink and are merry with our brothers.
But we see the men who will not see glory and we do nothing to help.
To Hell!
Why do we do nothing?
The man lives his life not knowing he is gone.
He has never heard what I know.
To Hell!
I never tell.
He is ready to hear.
He is ready to receive.
To glory!
He is ready, but speak no words.
My compassion is gone.
My empathy is dead.
My laziness becomes my life.
My mind is telling me to stand still.
He will die.
He will fall.
I did nothing.
I just lived.
To Hell!
To Glory!
There can be Hell on Earth
My eyes blinded by my own contentment.
As I watch my eyes begin to look sway.
"He has plenty of time." I say
"Someone else will get to him." I convince myself.
As I watch, I decide to walk away.
I am the man that you saw, and I saw you walk away.
I am the man that you thought had time.
I died that day.
I died by a car that was out to play.
Why did you not help me?
Why did you turn away?
To Hell!
Where is the glory?
Where is the water I need for relief?
Where is the food I crave?
I thought death would be the most pain I have ever felt.
I thought the Earth was the last place would ever live.
I was wrong, and nobody told me I would end up this way.
All I see is death and tainted fame.
All I feel is nothingness and pain.
Why did you not warn me?
Why did you not care?
Why did you keep the truth bottled inside your soul?
To Hell, to Hell I wish you will never go.
That car, that day.
Why did you not pray?
To Hell, to Hell I wish you will never go.
That car that day.
Why did you decide not to stay?
Why did you turn you head and walk away?

Film Review: Norm of the NorthOften ridiculous but mostly harmless kiddie fare that tends to go for lowbrow humor while preaching an overused ecological message.
It's hard to fathom why anyone would want to go outside during the cold, freezing month of January to watch a movie about a dancing polar bear other than the fact it may be the only way to get their bored kids out of the house over a long holiday weekend. Previous family hits like Snow Dogs and Eight Below have proven this to be the case.
Granted, not every animated movie can deliver quality on the caliber of Disney or Pixar or other proven animation houses. Most of the better houses take their product and their viewers seriously enough to treat their films with the same level of skill and expertise as the directors of live-action movies, especially when it comes to story.
And then you have Norm of the North, clearly the vision of a producer who realized what easy marks young kids can be, knowing that neither they nor their parents will be aware how long Norm of the North has been shuffled around the release schedule, the last delay being for over a year.
Animated movies do take time to get made, but it doesn't seem like that extra time has been used to make Norm of the North better. The title character of Norm is a polar bear voiced by once semi-relevant Adam Sandler sideman Rob Schneider, who has figured out he can talk directly to humans while entertaining them with his dance moves. After his grandfather, the King of the Arctic (voiced by Colm Meaney) disappears, greedy developer Mr. Greene (Ken Jeong) wants to build condos on their land, forcing Norm to travel to New York where he pretends to be an actor in a bear costume to infiltrate the villainous Greene's operation in order to stop him.
Beyond how ridiculous and even confusing that plot might seem at times, when all else fails Norm of the North relies on formula and the lowest-brow bathroom humor, essentially treating its pre-pubescent audience as if they aren't cultured or smart enough to want more from their animated movies. Granted, some of the jokes and references will go above their younger heads, but one still hopes kids these days are smart enough to know when they're being patronized to.
Norm of the North even has its own version of the Minions or the lemurs from the Madagascar movies in the form of "lemmings," similarly adorable creatures there to help Norm in his adventure. When not acting cute, they're responsible for the worst cases of potty humor in the form of constant flatulence and inopportune urination. Otherwise, there are too many strange characters introduced too quickly, mostly voiced by a fairly low-rent cast, other than possibly Bill Nighy as a gull psychologist named Socrates.
Norm of the North does have a few saving graces, one of them being the Heather Graham-voiced Vera Brightley, the main marketing person for the crooked Greene, who is mainly concerned with getting her smart daughter Olympia (Maya Kaye) into a better school. For some reason, this seems like a far more relevant topic to parents and kids than the film's weak attempt at preaching ecological responsibility to the most impressionable young kids. (With a better education, they can learn this stuff from better teachers than a goofy animated movie.)
Also in the film's favor, Norm's trademark Arctic Shake dance moves are accompanied by catchy dance-pop tunes by the likes of Walk the Moon and Sheppard, which offer better entertainment value than most of the jokes.
In other words, Norm of the North may be just fine for the youngest of kids, at least to try to get them out of the house, but for anyone over a certain age or IQ, it's likely to be fairly mind-numbing.

I'm not one of those early risers who are chirpy and raring to go in the mornings, so being self employed brings it's challenges when it comes to starting work on time. I have no boss to frown at my lateness or fire me for not turning up. However I do have Twiggy, who's breakfast is very important to her indeed, and she's not afraid to yell the place down until she gets it.. so that keeps my mornings in check.
First things first; breakfast for the critters. I stumble sleepy-eyed to the kitchen and give them each their bowl of breakfast. Then me. Unless Twiggy decides to have mine too. The pecking order for breakfast is clear!
"My most recent book 'Chloë Tells You How' was inspired by my love of vintage children's annuals from the 1950s, '60s and '70s"
Sometimes I work at my studio at Cockpit Arts, or sometimes from home and occasionally from my old bedroom at my mums, which is a tardis of vintage fabric. Me and Ringo will take the hour long walk there, through Highgate Woods, then through Waterlow park and past Highgate Cemetery. It's a very pleasant commute; I don't miss my 7am public transport commute at all! But sometimes we take the bus, which Ringo quite enjoys!
My days vary, sometimes I'll spend them making toys and cushions with my precious collection of vintage fabrics. Some fabrics I take off the shelves, think about using, but then decide it's just too amazing and put it back- I'm just not ready to use that fabric yet. Other days, I'll spend working mainly on the laptop, which can be distracting when Ringo constantly wants to play.
"A lot of the characters in my books were inspired by real people or animals, and the designs were all things that I'd like to have myself"
The projects I've most enjoyed so far are my books. My most recent, 'Chloë Tells You How' was inspired by my love of vintage children's annuals from the 1950s, '60s and '70s. The name itself was taken from the 'Mother Tells You How' series from Girl Magazine. Each tutorial project is written and laid out like the comic strips you'd see featured in these annuals. The whole thing has an ironic undertone running through it, so it appeals to adults in a nostalgic way and hopefully to children too. As a tribute to the annuals I also invented characters to teach the reader, which were drawn by some very talented illustrators, and include craft related games and stories, like The Breeding Bunnies, illustrated by Gemma Correll.
A lot of the characters were inspired by real people or animals, and the designs were all things that I'd like to have myself. Cyril the squirrel, who is a character in the book, comes to my window every morning for his breakfast (what was I saying about pecking order?)
I also really enjoy making canvases with colourful fabrics which is where I get to be extra creative and my obsession with fabrics is thoroughly satisfied. I've made a few recreations of Rene Gruau illustrations, one of which sits on my fireplace. His simple lines with splashes of bold colour work perfectly in fabric and stitch.
There is something freeing and meditative about drawing with a sewing machine; sometimes I'll lift my head and half an hour has gone past in a flash. I've always preferred it to drawing with pencils and pens. Once I'm in the zone, it's hard to snap myself out of it, so except for afternoon walks with Ringo, I'll work like this until the day is over, and head home.
Dinner will be some sort of vegan concoction; I love cooking and always try to make it healthy. Although I do love pizza… And pasta… And burgers…
I'm quite bad at making myself go to bed, it's like I haven't grown up- bedtime is boring! Or maybe I just don't like the day to end. However, when I'm struggling to keep my eyes open any longer, I give in… that's if there's any room left for me in the bed!

A Year of Blogging
So I somehow managed to miss the one year anniversary of my first blog. But better a week late … Thanks to you all, my regular, not so regular, and I-only-read-it-because-I-thought-it-was-going-to-be-about-something-else readers (but particular thanks to my regular readers – you know who you are even if I don't). For those of you who are curious, I have made 42 posts, the most popular of which is among of the first (I should have quit while I was ahead) – "Women's Fiction – What's That?" – proving that there is nothing like the great sexual divide to get people's attention. Speaking of which, another winning post (based on hits) is "Not for Your Eyes" but I get the impression that the average reader of this post is not interested in graphical novels but has been led astray when trying to find out something about that old Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman movie, Eyes Wide Shut, or perhaps the James Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only (hmmm, my references to these movies here might keep those hits coming – and no, that is not a gratuitous photo to the left). Another popular post is "Glorious Weblog". Given the ever increasing amount of spam I get, there is plenty of material for a sequel to that one (so keep checking this site).
Thanks again to all of you for coming by … next week, back to regular postings with a look at Canuck books (or so I plan).

Barnsley Council purchased the derelict Elsecar Workshops site and work began to create a Heritage Centre. The project aimed to reflect many aspects of Barnsley's local history including its importance as a major glass bottle manufacturing and coal mining area. Linked projects included the regeneration of a derelict stretch of the local canal, preservation of a Newcomen Beam engine in its original housing on site and a working steam railway run by volunteers. Alan Blakeman's outline concept of a bottle museum fitted well into the overall aims of the scheme.
The Bottle Museum was opened in a small upstairs room at Elsecar, in a part of Alan's BBR publishing business. The Coddswallop Trust was formed with the aim of presenting specialist displays and building an international archive.
A Company Limited by Guarantee was created with seven voluntary directors. Three of these original volunteers, including Alan Blakeman, are still working for the trust.
The museum moved into more spacious, ground floor premises on the Elsecar site with financial support from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Still situated next to BBR, it opened to the public at weekends and during the week whenever volunteers were available.
The trust was registered as a Charity with the support of eight voluntary trustees.
The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant of £4550 and Coddswallop was offered the opportunity to become part of the new Elsecar Antiques Centre that was to open in 2003. A temporary period of closure followed to prepare for the move.
An imposing range of illuminated foyer display cabinets, funded by the Lottery Fund grant, was constructed in the style of a double fronted Victorian shop front. The museum formally reopened during the popular Summer National Collectors weekend in early July with the first foyer display dedicated to foot and muff warmers. The museum could now be opened seven days a week, 10am to 5pm, with the support of the Elsecar Antique Centre staff. A ninth working trustee joined the group.
Foyer displays featured antique mining lamps and memorabilia, advertising and perfumery products, baby feeding bottles and equipment and Guinness advertising.
The Trust received a Coalfields Regeneration grant of £9672 to buy IT equipment and cover some of the museum's running costs. The first Coddswallop newsletter was published using the new computer and printer. Foyer displays included Co-op commemorative china, pre-nationalisation railway silverware, Fire Brigade helmets and equipment and grocery packaging and advertising.

As we all know by now, the Olympics 2012 is being held in London. Being a Londoner originally I thought it only right that I should do my bit. So I have offered myself as the changing room attendant for all the male events.
And the Olympics had always a fascination for me…..I wonder why??
That's me in the background staring inappropriately!
Suspicious salute!
Below are some photographs by Anderson & Low of Olympians which Boyf and I caught at the National Portrait Gallery in London a few years back. Money raised went to Elton John's AIDS Foundation –
I can do that no problem!

NEW YORK — I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
Like I've got a choice. The media are pounding it into my head. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. No way of ducking this annual storm.
Nearly 200 years ago, Clement Clarke Moore described a night before Christmas when "the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow / Gave the luster of midday to objects below."
But now we don't have to rely on some poet's fancy words. We get the picture -- over and over on television. In programs and commercials. Trivializing Christmas through sheer repetition, starting right after Halloween.

Lotus Notes 8.5 distributionbrendonte May 19, 2009 3:51 PM
I'm trying to create a silent installation of Lotus Notes 8.5 for application portal. All that I want to be able to do is eliminate the prompt that ask where to install, the lisence agreement, and whether its a single or mulit user install when doing the silent install.
I figured there are many ways I can have Landesk push a silent install of the .msi package either using the .mst transform file or command line. Because I'm extremely new to software distribution and app installation, I would think typing in a command line would be the easiest for now.
I've gathered some commands from the IBM site and it says use this for a silent multiuser install:
setup /v"SETMULTIUSER=1/qb"
This is where I need help. When I executed the .exe file of lotus notes, I went into the temp directory where it placed its install file. Within the folder are:
In creating a distribution package within Landesk, I used the lotus notes 8.5.msi as main and data1.cab as the secondary file needed. Under the Install/Uninstall options there is a box for commands, so I typed in the comman from the IBM site given for the silent install. Am I taking the rights steps?
Again I'm extremely new. I don't know if I'm choosing the correct files, going the right direction in creating this package, or if I'm lacking another application to modify or customize the installation. Any sort of guidance or direction in getting this silent install package ready for the application portal from anyone would be most greatful.

yesterday i had the most wonderful experience in seoul.
strolling around the area near insadong, i found a poster of a laquerware exhibition in front of a rustic teahouse.
inside, there were a middle aged couple chatting with the lady of the teahouse over a few cups of tea, and i helped myself looking around.
when i was about to leave, the lady beckoned me and said, come sit down for some tea.
i did, and i enjoyed the tea (nok-cha and mesil-cha), as much as the chance encounter with this korean company.
language was never a problem, for english, plenty of gestures and smiles, and some hasty scribbles of faulty hangu-jeo and chinese characters would suffice.
the least expected turn, however, was when the lady shared with me a pot of tog guk (mussels rice cake soup), we started chatting and all of a sudden we realised that our common language was spanish!
the lady longs to travel to south america one day; i told her of my fascination for all spanish-speaking places. we talked some more, until the arrival of bunch of guests.
the lady busied herself catering for the guests, i offered to be her assistant and served tea with some shivery survival-hangu-for-waiters. (all my blunders must have been forgiven because the guests were told i was just a tourist helping out.)
by the time i left, night has fallen, and we ended the wonderful encouter with a hearty hug – another universal language of love.
