The UK is proving to be one of the fastest-expanding wine regions in the world, following the biggest vine-planting year on record.
As the industry celebrates English Wine Week and Welsh Wine Week, (Saturday 25th May – Sunday 2nd June), trade body WineGB has just released figures confirming that around 3 million vines were planted this year.
That equates to almost an additional 700 hectares of vineyards and a 24% increase in the overall land now under vine.
This is nearly double the number planted last year (1.6 million vines) and treble the 1 million vines planted in 2017, also making the wine industry one of the fastest-growing agricultural sectors in the UK.
Whilst much of the planting has taken place in counties of the South East of England (Kent, Sussex and Hampshire) the spread of vines also includes Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Devon, Somerset, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Wales.
"This impressive figure of 3m vines represents another milestone in the growth of our fantastic industry," comments Simon Robinson, chair of WineGB.
"Last year we set out our vision that in the next 20 years, at the rate of current growth, we could be producing some 40 million bottles per year. We're certainly heading towards that. This is a thriving British industry."
Food minister David Rutley said: "Our wine makers are innovative, creative and determined, so it's no surprise that we are seeing the fruits of their labour now shining on the world stage."
The phenomenal growth figures come off the back of the UK's most successful vintage last year, following the hot summer and harvest of 2018 which yielded over 15 million bottles, smashing the production figure which, up until then, averaged at just over 5 million bottles.
Local wine school owner Richard Smith works closely with WineGB and will be presenting both English and Welsh wines at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park in July for the fourth consecutive year.
He commented: "In Derbyshire there's Amber Valley where Barry Lewis (former chair of the UK Vintners Association) has some really cracking wines – you can even find them in the Chatsworth Farm Shop!"
Whilst it will take three years for grapes from the vines planted over the past three months to reach suitability for production, Richard says he is excited about the industry's future.
"Some of our finest wines are being exported to the USA and Japan and even France," he explained.
"Yes, our premium 'House' fizz by The Gusbourne Estate is now being supplied into France and many of our sparkling wines are beating the established Champagne houses in the world's most highly regarded wine awards competitions."
Richard added: "Our own event this week, aptly named The Great British Grape Off (a nod to our close proximity to the Welsh border and featuring wines from both England and Wales) has been sold out for some time but there's so much to see around the country."
Another reason for celebration is the recent raft of noteworthy successes achieved by English and Welsh wines in the major international competitions.
English Wine Week and Welsh Wine Week is a national campaign run by the UK wine industry to put the spotlight on the wines and vineyards of England and Wales.
During the week, promotions and activities take place across the country – these include special in store tastings, winemaker dinners, sales offers, cellar door promotions, wines by the glass and tours with tastings at the vineyards themselves.

Hundreds of people turned out for a town hall meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, held Tuesday, Nov. 29, at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. The meeting was meant to address education's role in improving the economy.
Nevada System of Higher Education Chancellor Dan Klaich moderated the hour-long town hall, which also included panelists from local education and the community: Dwight Jones, superintendent of Clark County Schools; Ruben Murillo, president of Clark County Education Association; Calvin Rock, former pastor of Abundant Life Seventh Day Adventist Church; Luis Valera, board chair of the Latin Chamber of Commerce; and Elaine Wynn, chair for Communities in Schools and co-chair of the Greater Las Vegas After School All-Stars.
"We have to educate our way to a better economy," said Duncan, according to a Las Vegas Sun report. "In a competitive, knowledge-based economy, jobs are going to go where the knowledge workers are ... We can't teeter around the edges; we have to look for radical change."
"Nevada's education system plays a critical role in our state's economy and will take on an even greater role as we seek to create a better educated workforce and to better align our education system with economic opportunities," Klaich added, in a statement. "Nevada's students are our future and it will take a community effort to make sure we are providing them with the right access and quality to ensure their success and ultimately, the success of our state."
The town hall meeting was part of an ongoing discussion Duncan is holding with similar town halls around the country and via social media. To hear his Dec. 1 interview on KNPR's State of Nevada, click here.

Until recently, I'd have said that The Red Shoes was my least favourite Kate Bush album. I hadn't listened to it for years. Then Lily and Big Stripey Lie scrobbled on my last.fm account and I completely changed my mind. Maybe The Red Shoes resonates more as you get older. It's a complex, mature woman's album, exploring themes of self-determination, resilience (Rubberband Girl), creativity (The Red Shoes), and spirituality.
Well I said, "Lily, oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole
Through me" And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"
My partner got me listening to Cris Williamson's classic of feminist, lesbian and women's music, The Changer and the Changed (1975). Williamson has such a beautiful, soaring voice. 'Waterfall' (0.00) gives me chills and you can just hear them playing 'Sweet Woman' (12.51) for the slow dance at the end of the lesbian disco in the 1970s. You might like to compare the original 'Shooting Star' (21:15) with the Butchies cover. Williamson has developed a more solidly country sound in recent years. Fringe (2007) is awesome too.
I love Songs in the Dark by The Wainwright Sisters. These are gorgeous cover versions of songs they heard as children. I particularly love their versions of El Conda Pasa, Our Mother the Mountain (Townes!) and 'All the Pretty Little Horses'.
I've been listening to Tanya Donelly's Swan Song Series a lot. Volume.2 is my current favourite. Her cover of Neil Young's Heart of Gold has been another one on repeat this spring.

Hello, My brother and I are researching our grandfather Patrick O'Sullivan who was married to Hannah Lane in Millstreet in December 1905.
… His father was a car driver and I know my father Joe (who was apprenticed to Denis Healy of Millstreet as a carpenter in 1929) told me his grandfather (Patrick's father) drove a jaunting car and was killed in a thunderstorm…
I am coming over from England to visit my brother Joe who lives near Schull at the end of October and we plan on visiting Millstreet during my stay. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Steve O'Sullivan
Above is a message we got recently, any help with the above would be appreciated. Regardless, we went about to try and find out more about Patrick O'Sullivan:
Being married in Millstreet, you'd first assume that Hannah is from Millstreet. This is the only Daniel Lane in the 1901 Census that could be her father: Daniel Lane, Coomlogane, but no, Hannah is not living with the family… maybe she was outside the house working as was the norm back then, and sure enough one popped up with the name slightly misspelled:
Residents of a house 56 in Main Street (Drishane, Cork)
Murray Michael 52 Male Head of Family R Catholic shopkeeper
Murray Margaret 42 Female Wife R Catholic
Lane, Hanah, 25yrs, Female, Servant, R Catholic
… so i tried to find a Hannah Lane born in 1876 with a father Daniel, but no such luck. there were a lot of hannah lanes, locally and elsewhere, but the only Hannah/Hanna/Johanna Lane born to father Daniel in the whole country between 1870 and 1890 are these three:
- Birth of Johana Lane on 5 Nov 1884 of Rathdowney, Ardfert, Co.Kerry, father Daniel a Farmer
- Birth of HANORIA LANE on 22 Aug 1889, at Newmarket, Co.Cork, father Daniel a CoachMan, and also
- Birth of HANORAH LANE in 1864 , 5 grafton alley, cork , father Daniel a Labourer (doesn't seem right at all. she married at 41, and then had children over the next 8 years … unlikely)
i have no clue as to where to find Patrick O'Sullivan without some age, date of birth or something else to go on. just too many of them around
Marriage of PATRICK OSULLIVAN and HANNAH LANE
on 02 December 1905
I could find no other Patrick O'Sullivans married to a Hannah Lane in the registers.
I thought this was them in the 1911 census: Residents of a house 376 in Blarney Street (Cork No. 4 Urban (part of), Cork)
- OSullivan Patrick 36 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic Co Kerry Master Tailor Read and write Irish and English Married – 5 4 4
- OSullivan Hannah 28 Female Wife Roman Catholic Cork City – Read and write English Married 5yrs 4 4
- OSullivan Timothy 4 Son
- OSullivan Catherine 3 Daughter
- OSullivan Margaret 2 Female Daughter
- OSullivan Mary Female Daughter
… and it might have made sense to marry in Millstreet (half way between Cork and Kerry), but it seems not as the children's names don't match up in the birth register … and the wife's maiden name is sheehan (see Catherine's birth 1908).
… eventually i failed to find them in the 1911 census which would have been crucial to giving us more information to go on (note: keep trying)
It looks like they moved to Cork soon after getting married.
These are the three children i could find, i'd be fairly certain it's them (though there may be more that i failed to find):
Birth of THOMAS O SULLIVAN on 12 July 1907, at 2 Hansboro Place, Cork
See Hansboro which is just above the Train Station
Birth of TIMOTHY O SULLIVAN on 19 May 1910, 382 Blarney Street, Cork
Birth of JOSEPH O SULLIVAN on 28 September 1913, at 44 Barrett's Buildings, Cork
see 44 Barrett's Buildings, Cork
… but in the end we failed to find Patrick or where he came from… he may turn up sometime, with the help of information from others hopefully !

Flatbed carrier group Daseke Inc. has released its first earnings report since becoming a publicly traded company earlier this year. It shows that losses moved higher, but the company's expectations remain high.
The Texas-based operation had a first quarter loss of $8.6 million, or 32 cents per share, compared with a loss of $2.5 million, or 12 cents per share a year earlier. When first quarter 2017 net loss is compared to the fourth quarter of 2016, it declined 28%.
The results include $1.6 million, or 6 cents per share, of transaction costs related to the February merger of Daseke with Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. II, according to the company, as well as $3.9 million, or 14 cents per share, of non-cash interest expenses related to the write-off of capitalized loan fees from prior senior loans.
Revenue in the first quarter totaled $160.4 million, 2.3% higher than the same time a year earlier, and improved 6.7% over 2016 fourth quarter revenue at the Texas company.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), was $17.6 million for the 2017 first quarter, compared with $22.7 million for the year-ago period. While Adjusted EBITDA declined 22.7% year over year, it improved 14.6% over fourth quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million.
Stifel Transportation & Logistics Research Group said that the first quarter EBITDA was better than its expectation of $16 million. "This beat, especially given the uncertainty surrounding the first earnings release and various one-time items, tracks favorably with our expectations."
"As anticipated, we saw sequential improvement in our first quarter 2017 results versus the fourth quarter of 2016, with improvements in miles, revenue, net loss and Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe presents an accurate snapshot of our performance trend and growth," said Don Daseke, chairman, president and CEO. "We believe rates during the 2016 first quarter were exceptionally strong and caution against benchmarking against that period as rates declined steadily throughout the remainder of 2016 and into the first quarter of 2017."
According to Mr. Daseke, the company expects rates to continue to improve throughout 2017, although much will occur in the second half of the year.
First quarter 2017 revenue for the company's flatbed segment improved 6.9% to $81.3 million compared with $76.1 million for the 2016 period. Operating income for the first quarter of 2017 was $3.9 million, a 20.7% decline from the same period last year. Total miles for the segment during the 2017 first quarter were 37.4 million, up slightly from 37.3 million miles reported for the same period last year.
Daseke's specialized solutions segment posted revenue of $80.7 million for the 2017 first quarter, a decrease of 1.1%. First quarter operating income for the segment was $1 million compared with $3.9 million for the 2016 first quarter. Total miles of 24.6 million for the segment during the first quarter of 2017 were essentially flat compared with the 2016 first quarter.
Daseke operates a fleet of approximately 3,500 tractors and 7,300 trailers and is reportedly one of the largest providers of flatbed trucking services in North America.
Radiant Logistics Swings Back into the Black
Meantime, the third party logistics and multi-modal transportation services company Radiant Logistics Inc., reported a slight profit for the first three months of the year.
Net income totaled $0.4 million, or 1 cent per share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or 5 cents per share, a year earlier as revenue increased 2% to $181.8 million. The earnings per share met a consensus estimate from Wall Street analysts.
According to CEO Bohn Crain, the results came as the Washington-state based company was in its typically slowest quarter of the year.
"We posted adjusted EBITDA of $6.5 million for the quarter March 31, 2017, up $1.8 million or 39.5% over the comparable prior year period," he said. "While our U.S. brokerage business was negatively impacted by the continued margin pressures associated with excess truck capacity in the current market environment, this was more than off-set by the margin improvement we enjoyed in our much larger forwarding operations."

What's in the pipeline for World Alzheimer's Month 2018?
850,000 people in the UK live with dementia and this figure is only set to rise, making World Alzheimer's Month 2018 the most important event of its kind so far.
Join us as we explore the aims and ethos of this international initiative, as well as the many inspirational events arranged to mark World Alzheimer's Month 2018.
What does World Alzheimer's Month 2018 aim to achieve?
Organised in association with the Alzheimer's Society, September 2018 is the seventh World Alzheimer's Month to be promoted since the initiative was founded in 2012.
World Alzheimer's Month 2018 has two primary aims:
- Raise awareness of the condition; its causes, symptoms, impact on quality of life and more
- Challenge the long-standing stigma surrounding Alzheimer's and dementia
To achieve these aims, the event brings together people with dementia, caregivers, families, opinion leaders, medical professionals, researchers and media from around the world.
World Alzheimer's Day comprises part of this initiative and takes place on 21 September each year. Last year's event focused on the story of Peter Lyttle, who had developed early-onset dementia.
Through the dedicated effort and guidance of care staff – most notably his Dementia Adviser, Elaine – Peter was able to vastly improve his quality of life while helping others come to terms with the condition, too.
What is happening to mark World Alzheimer's Month 2018?
Events are organised across the world to mark World Alzheimer's Month. Here are some of the most impressive examples:
- Alzheimer's Scotland have arranged 14 'Memory Walks' across the country; members of the public are welcome to join, request sponsorship and make donations to support new research
- Welsh agency Abercare has tasked its care team with helping the public understand the initial signs of dementia, to ensure people receive support as early as possible
- In England, national newspapers including the Daily Mirror have published guidance on Alzheimer's related topics, including how to minimise risks of developing the condition
- The Alzheimer's Society of Ireland has dispatched its Mobile Information Service to Cork, Kerry and Tipperary to help raise awareness of this condition
- In the Alzheimer's Cafe Club 'Nezabudka', Moscow, organisers are set to host events that use nostalgic music/dance and specially-trained dogs to welcome people with the condition
- The Alzheimer Association of Georgia will host its first ever event at the Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel, Tbilisi, to mark this event
- The Taiwan Alzheimer Disease Association has already hosted its annual academic conference; the country's Ministry of Health has just announced plans to open 72 new dementia care centres
- The People's Association for Geriatric Empowerment (PAGE) will host memory walks/runs, memory games and a fancy dress competition across a host of different locations
- The Lahore Division Basketball Association (LDBA) has arranged a special match scheduled to take place at Kinnaird College University to mark World Alzheimer's Day
More events are sure to emerge during the course of World Alzheimer's Month 2018. Look out for events in your local area.
Find out more about how you can help ensure people with Alzheimer's receive the support they need to enjoy the best possible quality of life by speaking to our friendly team.

Popular Italian restaurant chain Criniti's has reportedly gone into administration with "several" of their stores expected to shut down permanently.
On Tuesday night, some of Criniti's 13 restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, were 'temporarily' closed with staff expecting to re-open for lunch on Wednesday. It was only then that staff were given the bad news.
Graeme Beattie of Worrells Solvency and Forensic Accountants has blamed the slugging economy and low consumer spending on the downfall of the chain.
"Criniti's is a well-known, well-liked chain, but like all hospitality businesses, carries high overheads and is susceptible to any weakening in retail spending," he said.
"With some locations in the group doing better than others, our first priority will be the preservation of value by identifying and closing the poorer performers, of which we expect there to be several."
He added, "These will be difficult, regrettable but necessary decisions made solely because we don't believe the group as a whole can trade indefinitely while a buyer is found or some other solution is reached, perhaps via a Deed of Company Arrangement."
This will ultimately mean a significant loss in staff members.
"There is never a good way to deliver this kind of news and we understand the shock, disappointment and trepidation felt by Criniti's loyal staff," Beattie says.
"While of little consolation to affected employees, by acting quickly to stem losses we are giving remaining employees a better prospect of ongoing work and all creditors a greater chance of being paid."
Customers with gift certificates will be contacted shortly.

Thomas R. Kobin and Michael A. D'Anton successfully defended the Hudson County Schools of Technology (HCST) against an emergency application to reinstate sports programs at the Schools. The HCST accepts a limited number of talented students from municipalities (sending districts) in Hudson County. The School Board eliminated the sports programs because of extensive cuts in State aid which prompted a number of parents to claim that the programs were arbitrarily eliminated in violation of the students' rights. The Administrative Law Judge rejected the parents' arguments and refused to compel the Board to reinstate the programs, finding that participation in sports is a privilege not a right, and that students could still participate in sports in their sending districts. The New Jersey Commissioner of Education recently affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's decision.

Alyssa Milano first launched her Touch line in 2007, after noticing the lack of team-themed apparel options to suit the needs of female fans. The actress has had success with her stylish sports fashion range, which includes shirts, tanks, sweaters, jackets, pant, hats and accessories for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NCAA teams. Now she has expanded the Touch offerings to include a NASCAR-themed collection.
"I am very excited to be able to bring Touch apparel to female NASCAR fans," said Alyssa Milano. "I have received so many requests over the past few years to expand distribution of the Touch brand into NASCAR, so I'm really proud to have NASCAR under the Touch brand umbrella."
The new line features women's tops and tees personalized to ten NASCAR drivers, including: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Danica Patrick, Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart. The fashions are decorated with graphics such as racers' numbers and replica signatures.
According to SportingNews.com:
Gear of 25 or 30 drivers could eventually become available and by next spring, the products will be available in stores, NASCAR Vice President of Licensing Blake Davidson said.
"I guess we're as guilty as some of the other sports in the past of not having product that was really built for women—they weren't really not the true female silhouettes and not nearly as fashion forward," Davidson said.
NASCAR has begun to sell the items on its website. Below is a preview and to check out the full collection, visit here.
Touch by Alyssa Milano Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ladies Number Burn0ut Slim Fit T-Shirt ($29.95)

It's not everyday that a mobile meth lab rolls into the town square. And it's not every day that people from all over the city line up to visit it. (Thank goodness.)
But a replica of the RV "lab" used to produce methamphetamine on the popular TV show Breaking Bad, set up shop in Yonge-Dundas Square and will tour the city from November 26th – December 9th. The appearance was staged to promote the release of the show's upcoming DVD boxed set. The public is invited to visit and even has the option try on a haz-mat suit for the full experience.
I'm one of the few people who hasn't watched the series (yet). But i know that the storyline is about a highschool science teacher who turns to the production of illegal drugs to support his family, when he's diagnosed with cancer.
My friend (who also hasn't seen the series) was the one who told me about it and was keen to make a visit. Since she too is not (yet) a fan of the show, I wondered why she really wanted to go. "Because it's probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing a meth lab" she says. Good point. (And thank goodness.)

A Financial Comparison
Mark Burrus
Accounting 210, TR 2:00
Dr. Jeffrey J. Quirin
April 27, 2010
The telecommunication industry has experienced substantial growth during the last 20 years, and offers frequent technological upgrades that has enabled these companies to find new revenue sources and growth opportunities. The telecommunication industry is responsible for radio, television, and broadband services, but the biggest factor of their business is through the cellular telephone market, which has also grown at an incredible rate over the past 20 or so years. In this report, I will be comparing two of the biggest competitors in this industry, Verizon and Sprint.
Verizon Wireless, the largest cell phone provider in the country, was founded in 1983 as Bell Atlantic and adopted the name Verizon in 1997 after the merger with NYNEX. Sprint Nextel Corporation, the third largest cell phone provider, was founded in 1898 but became Sprint Nextel in 2005 after the purchase of Nextel Communications by Sprint Communications. It is based out of Overland Park, KS. After a brief comparison, Sprint was cheaper and offers a comparable service area. Verizon was slightly more expensive but had a better service area and customer care. I will be comparing the financial statements of the two companies over the past three years in order to determine which company would become a better investment.

Product reviews...
I am a huge fan of tea in almost all varieties and flavours. I have several boxes of various flavours in my house right now. I just had to give this one a go, one big advantage I discovered when I opened the box is the teabags are individually wrapped so I could easily pop some into my handbag and take along to work to enjoy on my breaks.
I like strong tea so I often leave my teabag in my cup for a bit longer than the recommended 3 to 5 minutes and sometimes I find that can make the tea taste a bit bitter but I really found that the tea was a great tasting tea, I do try and have my tea hot but with kids (both at work and at home) I often make my drink and get busy so when I get to it the tea is rather cold and this tea is great both hot and cold and luke warm if that is how I get to drink it.
The box is really colourful and informative. I could easily read the directions and information which is great as I'm sure my son is getting tired of me asking him what the instructions say on various items (I had to assure him that I am the one having a problem reading such small print).
I am that impressed with this tea that I have been to the supermarket and bough some more.
I was keen to try this tea as I usually have a couple of black tea's open and numerous herbal teas for after dinner and evenings. I try to limit my caffeine so was a a bit disappointed when this flavoured tea arrived and it was caffeinated.
I like my tea a lttle weak as I do not add milk, sugar or honey so it doesn't need to be too potent for me. When I opened the tea bag it was a strong smell of peach for me so it was clear this was not an ordinary black tea. I couldn't smell the mango but I am not sure I would recognise the smell of mango as easily as peach. The tag did not fall into the cup the first cup I made so that is a small success I always like when a teabag has a tag. So after trying the first cup I decided it was a bit strong and I was also going to to the cold brew technique (as often I like a cooled tea anyway).
First the hot brew - I did this in a pot (see picture) as I had already tried a sneaky cup of this previously and found it quite intense. I thought the colour was strong and dark and suited the black tea aspect of the flavour. I liked the fruity tones and they were clear in the smell of the brewed tea as well and it was a strong taste that I definitely enjoyed. I would have a word of warning here that I left one tea bag I hot brewed in the cup somewhat longer than suggested (until it cooled) and it became quite bitter so I would not recommend that technique
Next was cold brew - it was a much lighter colour and the flavour took a bit longer to come through and sadly because of the lack of vapours the smell was not as intense but I am told you could still smell it pretty strongly but it was a bit less successful for me. I will be doing the hot brew and throw in a few ice cubes but I can understand that it might work for some people.
I thought the tea was sweet enough to not add honey or anything else but I don't generally flavour my teas with anything else anyway. In future I would like to buy this but I am not sure where it would fit in my range as although it had a nice after dinner taste (quite dessert like) the tea had caffeine which is a no no for me in the evenings. Maybe a post winter lunch location would suit but it will be a lovely smell whenever I open the box too.
Since cutting out most caffeine from my diet I am a huge fan of herbal teas and red seal certainly have the best selection on the market. I enjoy the fruit varities and drink the chamomile/sleep tea daily. I had not tried this peach and mango variety but it sounded very appealing as peach and mango are a great combination. I loved these tea bags the peach and mango has a great flavour and just makes drinking tea a bit special. Fruit teas are certainly my preference over a normal black tea with milk and I love the fact you can drink them hot or cold.
Having had a terrible cold lately I have been having these with a little honey to soothe my throat although this sweetens the tea you really do not need to add any sweeteners as the tea itself with the fruity flavour goes down a treat. As a cold tea it is very refreshing I enjoy a flavoured iced tea and being red seal it doesn't have any nasties that pre bottled iced teas can sometimes have. I do prefer it as a hot drink but could easily drink it either way.
Having switched from coffee (mostly) to herbal tea I am quite happy to pay the price of these for a good quality tea so would say they are very good value for money and very appealing with the flavour choice. Definitely a first choice for me for a day time tea drink, with my red seal chamomile at night time. A winning flavour combination in my opinion.
I am not a coffee drinker, I don't enjoy the smell let along enjoy the flavour. In fact, I have many memories of making Dad coffee as I was growing up and feeling quite sick in the stomach as I hated the smell. Eventually, I had to block my nose while doing it! For this reason, I have never been a big fan of hot drinks, although I do enjoy having a hot chocolate every now and then, and if we go to a cafe I will have a hot chocolate or a smoothie. My memories of drinking tea are all from times spent with my Nana where I would add a pile of sugar and a whole lot of milk to make it palatable. Now as an adult and wanting to make healthy changes to my diet I am interested to find some other drinks that I can enjoy without having to add lots of unhealthy things like sugar.
The packaging of this tea is very attractive. It is clear what flavour it is both by the words on the front of the package and the image that goes along with it. Peach and mango are two flavours I enjoy so this particular flavour would stand out to me on the shelf in the supermarket. There appears to be a lot of information on the packet, apart from the front all sides (including the top and bottom) have words on them, however when reading a little closer I soon discovered that one side is about how to brew the tea - both cold and hot, the back gives a little further information about the product that the front of the box (of particular attention it mentions that the tea has no gluten, no artificial sweeteners and no added sugar), and the other side has the nutritional information panel and the ingredient list. I did notice that while the product has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, it does use stevia which is a natural sweetener. This didn't worry me as I use stevia in lots of my baking and cooking, but some people aren't a fan of the flavour of stevia.
I decided to make it as a hot tea first. I put the tea bag into my mug and poured water on top. It said to leave the tea bag to brew for 3-5 minutes so I gave it five minutes. The fruity smell was there as soon as I opened the tea bag and it intensified as the water hit it. I couldn't wait to try it as it certainly smelt delicious! Once the tea bag had brewed for long enough I took it out and sat down to try the tea. My first sip was very very disappointing. While I didn't dislike the product, I simply could not taste the peach or mango. To me, it tasted very much just like black tea. I was surprised that I didn't mind it though, and found myself going back for more without adding in a pile of sugar or milk! I would like to try some more fruit teas to see if there is one that tastes a little more fruity, however this won't be one I buy again.
To be clear, I am a black tea with milk drinker by choice. I do drink quite a lot of herbal and green teas but am a bit of a tea snob.
Upon boiling the kettle and opening the packet, there was a very strong smell of peach which I found a little off putting. A colleague beside me liked the smell a lot. I found the aroma very strong but the taste didn't match for me. I think that it would be more enjoyable drunk as iced tea in the summer. Colleague (who drinks a lot of fruity herbal tea liked it a lot so has had used the supply several times since!) I can easily imagine that this would be a very good base for a Kombucha brew.
I do like Red Seal Teas and drink other combinations very happily especially as they are all natural. I think if you are a fruit tea enthusiast you will not be disappointed by this product. If you are like me and like strong flavours (peppermint, lemon and mint etc), then this may not be to your liking. I would use this however as a base for punch in the summer instead of my normal black tea.
I'm not a coffee drinker, as I find the flavour far too bitter. Hot chocolate and tea are my go-to hot beverages, so new varieties of tea to try are definitely going to get my interest. Now whenever I'm trying to get my weight down, drinking teas is one of the big parts of that, as I use teas to fill my stomach, rather than food. But I like to calorie count, so even when it comes to teas, I scan it into my food diary app "MyFitnessPal". Interestingly, the teas will usually come up with zero calories (this packet boasts zero sugar too), so I was surprised to see the app say this particular tea had 2 calories. Now this is still a very low amount (compared to a orange juice, fizzy drinks, or beer which usually average 120+ calories), but it still gave me pause and made me want to figure out why it had calories.
The product has no gluten, no added sugars, and no artificial sweeteners, but what it does have, is the natural sweetener, Stevia, and also has natural flavouring added to "enhance" the flavour. But again, 2 calories is negligible, but interesting to not that the additives had an effect on the calorie content.
I decided to try the tea both as a cold and a hot brew. Making both at the same time, there was a significant colour difference right off the bat; the hot brew was instantly dark in colour, whereas the cold brew only managed a honey amber colour after several minutes and a thorough dunking of the teabag. The hot brew, despite being a black tea, was not bitter at all, and was quite a sweet full bodied flavour. The flavour of the sweetener was apparent, but not too dominant, instead allowing the peach flavour to come through. The cold brew on the other hand, while refreshing, was much weaker in flavour (which matches the difference in colour).
This tea would be ideal for me with a little bit of honey if I wasn't feeling well. The flavour didn't quite appeal as a cold brew, but made hot, the tea was flavoursome and aromatic.
As I opened the first paper wrapper and took out a teabag, I was amazed at how strong the peach smell was. It was almost as though I were cutting open a ripe peach - full and sweet and very enticing. But then the boiling water hit the teabag and the effect was doubled. This is the strongest fruit tea I have ever brewed. If the taste turned out to be as good as the smell, then it would be a rewarding experience indeed.
I had three friends to help me to evaluate this product because I am not normally a black tea drinker - I prefer coffee or fruit teas which are standalone rather than prepared on a black tea base. My friends are all work colleagues and all of them assured me that their preferred drink is a flavoured tea, so I thought they would be ideal to evaluate.
I prepared four cups and we left them to infuse for a few minutes. One of the testers likes hers quite weak so I removed her teabag and mine after a short soak. The remaining teabags we left in place for a bit longer as the other two said they preferred theirs stronger. During this time the smell of fresh fruit was so strong that several colleagues commented as they walked past and asked if they could have some too!
My first tester could not wait to try hers. She started to drink while the other two were still waiting for theirs to infuse. I asked what she thought but she waved me away until she had given herself the chance to drink more. Finally, after she had drained the entire cup, she said she was most impressed - not only did she think it was one of the most flavoursome she had tasted, but also one of the most successful blends. Usually she would not enjoy a flavoured tea where the fruit or floral flavour overpowers the tea base, but in this case it worked for her. As she said, it was anything but subtle - but it tasted so authentically fruity that it did not matter.
The other two were equally positive. Both loved the flavour combination, agreeing that the tea took second place to the fruit but it really did not matter. One of them said she would buy it and while it was nice served hot as a winter drink, she thought it would go perfectly in a sangria on a hot summer's day. She is going to buy herself a packet so she can try it. The third tester said she appreciated that the drink delivered what the packaging promised. She has had experiences with some brands that taste nothing like she would have expected, and one brand in particular (which she did not name!) was quite "putrid".
Ingredients wise, they all commented on the use of unbleached paper for the teabag pouches, the lack of artificial ingredients, and the bright, attractive outer packaging. One commented that she hopes the packaging does not change as it is sometimes difficult to find the product she wants when manufacturers keep rebranding and changing their image. She thought the current packaging for this product is perfect because it is eye-catching and means she can quickly find it on a supermarket shelf.
Personally, I don't especially like stevia, but although it is listed among the ingredients, none of us could detect it so it has obviously not been overdone. The other thing I liked was the long shelf life which means I can keep some on hand and not worry about it going stale. And although this type of drink is not my usual choice, even I had to admit that I liked this one. Can't wait to try it cold with that sangria!

Today is the first day back to school for many children.
These safety tips are as important today, maybe even more so, than they were years ago.
Teach them to your kids… but be mindful of them yourself, too!
Drive EXTRA carefully and be on the lookout for excited kids who may not always be thinking about cars coming.

Why do you say that HLM?Oh boy! Starsbux will dislike that event.
At huddle a year or two ago my ETL-AP addressed the issue just once. Clearly the message wasn't spread very well.This article fails to address that we're (at least at my store) not versed on whether or not it's okay.
I have seen it done at stbx. 40 moms & 6 fitting rooms. Where else are they going to go? Food avenue!Why do you say that HLM?
CDC.gov said:Are special precautions needed for handling breast milk?
CDC does not list human breast milk as a body fluid for which most healthcare personnel should use special handling precautions. Occupational exposure to human breast milk has not been shown to lead to transmission of HIV or HBV infection. However, because human breast milk has been implicated in transmitting HIV from mother to infant, gloves may be worn as a precaution by health care workers who are frequently exposed to breast milk (e.g., persons working in human milk banks).
For additional information regarding Universal Precautions as they apply to breast milk in the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis B infections, visit the following resources:
Perspectives in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Update: Universal Precautions for Prevention of Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and Other Bloodborne Pathogens in Health-Care Settings. MMWR June 24, 1988, 37(24):377–388.

Boob products. Lmao!I've always wanted to turn it into a sales pitch..."Hey those are some grade a knockers, you should check out all our boob products in infants, we got stuff for nipples, ************, cleavage, EVERYTHANG YO!"
Not to sound shallow or anything, but I agree, it's generally the ones you'd prefer not to see without a shirt on.The breastfeeding in public moms are never cute though, younger moms (read: cuter) have more discretion than to breastfeed publicly....
Forty more boobs to deal with, it's like they just hired some more ETL's out of college.
Or "grouchy" old men!....and, coincidently, that will be the same day a large influx of teenaged boys will be there to witness the spectacle....
As a soon to be mom who fully plans on breastfeeding, I take offense at this. I plan on breastfeeding in public. It is my right to feed my child when she is hungry. Breastfeeding is about as a-sexual as an act can get. There is nothing lewed or slutty about it. (this is me not calling you several choice names right now)I fully support the right to breastfeed in public. BUT, why would you want to take your tits out in public? Sluts...probably the way they got knocked up in the first place, showing their titties everywhere to everyone.

Yes, It Can Be That!
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on Oct 16, 2018
I read an article which said that what some political pundits had given as a reason why people who might have originally voted for President Obama switched to vote for the candidate in the other party in 2016 was wrong. The study showed that the reason for the switch was wholly tied to racism. The actual line was "It finds that these voters tended to score highly on measures of racial hostility and xenophobia — and were not especially likely to be suffering economically."
The funny (not so funny) thing about the results is that the only people not surprised by the finding were minorities. Most of us have been saying and believing it since the day after the election. Unfortunately, most political pundits aren't minorities, so they dismissed it out of hand by saying "if they voted for Obama they couldn't have been racists."
I hate to be the one having to break the news to some of you but your beliefs are inconsistent with the truth. Just like the beliefs of many males who are hesitant to embrace the #MeToo movement as being a real thing, many people of the majority are reluctant to see anything negative ever being related to race. The facts are out there; I've had my own set of circumstances that eventually someone who didn't see it initially came around to my reality.
Almost 20 years ago I was dealing with a leadership trainer who decided to make me an example during a training session. We hadn't been getting along in any of them, and I kept telling those in the C-Suite that he was targeting me and that it had to be my being the only black male in the room (there was a black woman but she never said a word in the one session we shared… she wasn't the talkative sort).
It wasn't until he decided to throw me out of one of the sessions that everything was solidified and my co-workers came to my defense at the end of the class that those at the top realized they'd been seeing things through the "couldn't be" glasses I'd dealt with my entire life.
Almost 15 years ago it happened again, this time at a restaurant in Westchester County where I was going to have dinner with an associate of mine. I'd been telling her about some of the negative things that had happened to me during my time in the area and she kept saying I had to be imagining it. That is, until this particular evening.
The guy who met us at the front counter wouldn't look at me. When he walked us to the table he set the menu down in front of her and tossed the menu I was supposed to use somewhere else on the table. The owner of the restaurant was walking around to all the table greeting guests and skipped the table we were at. Eventually she called him over and was talking to him, and he kept refusing to look at me until she deliberately pointed to me, at which time he looked at me, shook my hand, and beat feet faster than a tap dancer. At that moment she understood what I'd been going through and apologized for not seeing it earlier.
Who wants more proof? Here's a story about a woman waiting for a job interview when the police broke her car windows and accosted her, thinking she was part of a supposedly criminal activity where they were looking for 4 black men. Here's a story about a woman who called the police claiming sexual assault by a 9-year old who she said groped her in a store (security footage later revealed he didn't touch her). Here's a story about a woman who didn't believe a black man lived in her condo and, at first, wouldn't let him in, then followed him to his apartment, and once he was inside called the police to say she wasn't comfortable with him being there. There's lots of these stories every single day; yes, it can be that!
I've been asked why black people talk about race all the time. Because it's almost always about race all the time! When I got my first website loaded on the internet in 2002, I had a lot of people recommend that I shouldn't put my picture on it because no hospitals in America would hire a black consultant. I did it anyway to honor my dad and, unfortunately, it's been true for the most part (even though they'll all say it wasn't because of that).
I've come at this from the point of view of a minority whose gone through a lifetime of people not believing me because it's not close to their life experience, but it's not just minorities. It's women, poor people, non-religious people, gay people, disabled people… pretty much anyone who's considered some kind of outcast. I'm certainly not saying everyone's being truthful; I'm saying that if you hear it often enough there's probably a lot of truth in what people are saying and what you're hearing.
Stop dismissing people because you don't understand them. Open your mind and consider that it can be that.

Here is what I've been doing lately, besides, pinewood derby, coaching basketball, watching basketball, chauffering a teenager to/from mutual, bus stops, and all the teenager activities that a teenager feels they need to participate in. Oh yeh and an unsurmontable amount of hair. Summer wanted her hair braided so it would be kinky but I didn't have time the night before so I had to crimp it the next AM after I finished up Lexi's hair. (Lexi's hair takes about 1-1 1/2 to curl all the way-therefore we don't do it often and she is getting so she can do it by herself-YEHH!!) But she has done it twice this week and sooo Lex, Sum and I fired up 3, yes count them 3, curling irons to get her hair done in a little over 1/2 hour so she could go to a mutual dance!Most all of the other colored flowers went in hair today at school and if you're wondering about the odd looking refurbished sweatshirt, it went on someone's back to school also. I will post better pictures of everything when they get home!! Now I'm going to go into the kitchen and attempt to make orange muffins for two basketball teams. Do you think I can do it without a complete disaster in the cooking department??

The Town Hall
City of Aguascalientes
You can contemplate the architecture, admire the murals of Guillermo Cuellar Arellano, and take photos of the exterior.
Plaza de la Patria,
Downtown (449) 910.1010
Monday to Friday – 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Be sure to check out the segmented pediment in the facade with the words "Town Hall" engraved into the quarry stone and the relief of an eagle, open-winged and devouring a snake
Desde el siglo XVII, el terreno que ocupa el Palacio Municipal fue sumamente codiciado; pasando de una mano a otra por herederos, hacendados, párrocos y alcaldes.
Ever since the seventeenth century the land on which the Town Hall now sits has been highly sought after. Back then it passed between landowners, parish priests, mayors and their heirs.
Situated to one side of the Palace of Government, this two-story building has a neoclassical style with three front-view vertical bodies.
The central portico is made from pink quarry stone and there are eight pillars pointing to the nine windows on the upper floor, all vertically rectangular with quarry-stone frames, and a wrought iron balcony running around the old façade.
The central patio features a circular fountain made of quarry stone, and a double staircase, which on the way to the second floor, affords excellent views of the remarkable mural painted by Guillermo Cuellar Arellano, commemorating 425 years since the founding of the city..

Thank you for your generosity to Immanuel. Because of your generosity, we are able to share stories of how God is changing lives! Every Friday, one of our student bloggers shares how God is working in his or her life. Leave some encouragement by commenting?
By Makenna Nahorniak
As I sat in my bedroom during my freshman year of high school and read the Gospel aloud to myself, I came to one life-changing and inescapable conclusion: the Lord calls His followers to a life set apart. I wept because this meant leaving things behind and humbly submitting to Jesus all the things I had found myself so desperately clinging to. It meant letting go of myself and allowing Him to fill every empty corner in my heart. It meant deciding to do the thing that appears to be most illogical in the eyes of this world simply because I know the Lord has chosen something different for me. It's difficult to arrive at the turning point. There is pain in submission, but, dear friends, there is incomparable joy found in the moment we choose to release every inch of ourselves to a God who plans only good.
You see, choosing life in Jesus isn't a quick contract to be signed out of fear or obligation only to be left in the basement of the church building. Out of this choice to believe in the name of the Lord and His salvation should come a deep and burning desire to become more like Him. This means observing His ways and ultimately obeying His voice.
The Lord doesn't wish to hold us captive in commanding us to follow Him with every area of our life, but rather, He seeks to set us free.
What a sweet blessing it is to no longer be under the power of sin and death. How beautiful it is to become alive in the presence of a God who desires our whole hearts!
So what exactly does it look like to release ourselves to the marvelous purpose of Christ's Kingdom? It all begins with picking up the life Jesus provided at the cross and simultaneously laying our own lives at His feet. It's choosing to find sustenance in His promises rather than our own dreams, plans, desires and knowledge.
Jesus says some startling words to His disciples in John 15, but ultimately, as His followers, I am confident that we can find renewed purpose and calling in these difficult, yet highly important words of truth. Jesus begins in verse 18 by saying,
"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
Hate is a strong word, but it's an honest one nonetheless. The truth is that darkness trembles at the name of Jesus. Seeing as though this world is absolutely invaded by darkness, and Jesus is light, our sinful, fallen world isn't particularly welcoming to the overwhelming sense of goodness He brings. Instead, the darkness flees. It may push back, it may persecute, but ultimately, this darkness is absolutely overcome by the brightness of Jesus. I have good news for you, fellow believers. We are called to carry the light of Jesus in our daily lives. The painful truth we need to come to terms with is that the world doesn't voluntarily invite light to permeate the dismal darkness our sin has created. Scripture says, however, that Jesus has chosen His followers apart from the world— we don't belong here— we belong with Him.
Scripture says, however, that Jesus has chosen His followers apart from the world— we don't belong here— we belong with Him.
Let's take this calling seriously, Church. Let's continue to pursue light and a set-apart life despite the challenges we may face in making this decision. May we choose to spur each other on toward heavenly things. Let's bring our faith into dark places though we may not always be invited. May we find our home in His Kingdom and press on as we seek His glorious plan and purpose.

Bruce Sterling, ed.: MirrorshadesMon, Aug 17, 2009./noise/books | Link
I pinched this one from mrak's shelf a while ago. This book promises to checkpoint the cyberpunk genre circa 1988 by collecting short stories from some or all of the major players, such as William Gibson and apparently Sterling himself, whom I've never read.
The best, for mine:
- Tom Maddox's Snake Eyes was cute but inspecific. Available from his website with a lot of other stuff.
- James Patrick Kelly's Solstice is an adventure in drugs as legitimate experience-enhancers, and as artforms. Definitely the best written story in this collection, but rates meh for cyberpunk. Again, his website has loads of his writing.
- Paul Di Filippo's Stone Lives had some promise, enough to justify looking at his other stuff. I would say this exceeds the average for cyberpunk in this collection, albeit with a ghost-in-the-corporation that makes the twist somewhat predictable. Shades of Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land?
Overall the collection was paint-by-the-numbers: if there's a woman, she is a sex object, deviant at least in apperance and otherwise indistinguishable from the blokes, Trinity from The Matrix being a modern canonical example. If there is politics, there is the 1980s totalitarian against the free American. If there's a book editor, he is into self-aggrandisement.
This book might have lead me to doubt that my conception of cyberpunk, which I take to be pretty much defined by Neuromancer and Bladerunner, coincides with anyone else's... if it weren't for the reviews on Amazon. Hopefully I can jump off from here.
PraiseMon, Aug 17, 2009./noise/movies | Link
I saw this movie ages ago and quite liked it, perhaps essentially due to the lethargic gracelessness of Fenton, who shuffles around with puffer in one hand and fag in the other. The Dirty Three provide a killer soundtrack. Horler is great here, and the film sags when she departs the frame for good. Brisvegas gets a bit of a raw deal as the film is mostly set indoors.
