Defining Complementary and Alternative Therapies is difficult, because the field is very broad and constantly changing and developing. The terms Complementary and Alternative are often used interchangeably to refer to Therapy or Medicine, despite both being different concepts. Many of these treatments are now often referred to as CAM therapies.
Complementary medicine is different from alternative medicine. Whereas complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine, alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine.
"Alternative medicine" often described to as a therapy used as an alternative to conventional medicine (eg Ayuverda]
|Alternative Therapies or Medicine have seen a continuing growth in popularity and use of these therapies. Although many of these therapies can trace their origins back to ancient Chinese and Indian medicines. Since the gradual introduction of these therapies to the Western World we have seen the introduction of many new forms and developements. Some of the forms thought of as alternative therapies are:- massage, nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, naturopathy, chiropractic, ayurveda, homeopathy
"Complementary medicine" used together with conventional medicine it is seen as a medicine that complements conventional practises (eg Acupuncture)
|Complementary Therapies fall into 4 main types of therapy.
1. Hands-on, body manipulation therapies like acupuncture, acupressure
2. Energy- based therapies like reiki and sekhem
3. Mind-body interaction therapies like EFT
4. Therapies based on other systems
Large numbers of the population now subscribe to Complementary Health and the use of alternative & complementary therapies is worldwide, with demand for these therapies growing.
In the UK approximately half of all GPs now provide some kind of access to these forms of therapy and it is estimated by practitioners that demand for these therapies has increased by up to 30% in the last ten years.
It is currently estimated that 3 in 10 local health authorities in Britain now offer some form of alternative therapy to patients and that as many as one third of people in the United Kingdom have tried at least one form of alternative therapy, usually for the treatment of various problems such as backache, arthritis, or headaches migraine.
Some of the more popular complementary therapies include;
• Aromatherapy, Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Reflexology, Chiropractic and Hypnotherapy.
Some of the more popular alternative therapies include;
• Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Aromatherapy, Crystal Therapies, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Naturopathy.

Ayurvedic medicine also called Ayurveda combines the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge) is one of the world's oldest medical systems originating in the Vedic culture of India more than 5,000 years ago.
Tibetan medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine have their roots in Ayurveda. Early Greek medicine also includes many concepts originally described in the classical ayurvedic medical texts.
Ayurveda is a system of natural healing using individualised treatments which includes herbal compounds, special diets, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. The key concepts of Ayurvedic medicine include universal connections between people, their health, and the universe), the body's constitution (prakriti), and life forces (dosha).
Ayurveda is an holistic approach to health allowing you to become a balanced, vital, happy person with the least amount of effort, providing guidelines on ideal daily and seasonal routines. Ayurveda reminds you that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our environment, body, mind, and spirit. Instead of having to guess which foods, supplements, and behaviours are appropriate, it suggests a direct prescriptive path developed for your unique body type, or Dosha. taking the guesswork out of getting healthy. Depending on your personality and body type you will need different foods to maintain a healthy and balanced Dosha. The Doshas are known as Kapha (Earth), Pitta (Fire and Water), and Vata (Space, Air and Wind) and are responsible for the characteristics of our mind and body. Each person has one dominant Dosha which is defined by the food we eat. Doshas need to be in kept in harmony if a Dosha gets too strong, it can have a negative effect on our health and general wellbeing. Dosha Types:–
- Kapha: If you are a Kapha type you may be experiencing tiredness, the need to over sleep and have trouble with your weight. Try fresh fruits, vegetables and legumes as well as living in a mild climate if possible.
- Pitta: When this dosha is dominant people suffer with resentment, anger and digestive problems. They need to ingest foods which cool the body and the temperament, such as grains and vegetable casseroles. Avoiding spicy and sour foods such as oranges and tomatoes can help too.

Improving Your Self-Improvement Efforts:
There is no shortage of self-improvement books, courses, manuals, videos, and ideas out there. The information needed to become fit, wealthy, healthy, famous, confident, and likeable is readily available. The challenge isn't information. It's knowing or understanding what to DO with it.
It's frustrating to feel that everything you need to know is available, yet you still can't seem to make the changes you wish you could.
You are not alone in that frustration.
Make your self-improvement efforts more successful with these ideas:
1. Have realistic goals.
Sure, your mother told you that you can be anything you want to be, but she lied to you. If you're 5' 5", awkward, and 50 years old, you're never going to play in the NBA. You are also probably not going to be the prime minister of Japan, an astronaut, or co-star in a blockbuster with Brad Pitt.
- You can do amazing things, but if you set your sights too high, you will become frustrated and lose your motivation to continue.
- Set self-improvement goals that you believe you can attain. You can always set bigger goals after you've experienced some success.
- For example, you might want to earn $10,000 per week, but starting with a goal of earning $2,000 per week could be exciting without the stress of the larger goal.
2. Have reasonable timetables.
Losing 50 pounds is a reasonable goal but accomplishing it in a month is definitely not.
- You can do a lot if given enough time. Changing your life is totally possible. Doing so at a breakneck pace is much less possible.
3. Be enthusiastic about small steps forward.
It takes time to gain momentum, and it's important to have positive feelings about all of your progress. It's the only thing that will keep that progress coming.
- If you have 50 pounds to lose, it's not easy to get excited about losing 3 pounds. It's not easy to feel motivated after saving $1,000 when your goal is to save $100,000. But you still have a reason to feel good about yourself! Encourage yourself to keep up the momentum with a reward.
- Reward yourself for even the smallest improvement. Rewarded behavior is more likely to occur in the future. Reward yourself for a day of healthy eating or saving an extra $10. Be generous with your rewards!
4. Create daily habits that move you forward.
It's typically not single, monumental actions that change your life. It's the little things you do each day, day after day after day.
- Create new habits that guarantee you'll reach your goals. Then you only need to focus upon your compliance.
5. Consider your obstacles.
There are currently things in the way of your self-improvement objectives. It might be your attitude, a close friend, your lack of skills, or your lack of time.
- Making an effort to reduce or remove these obstacles can make a big difference in your success.
6. Patience is key.
Setting reasonable timelines and sticking to them requires patience. When you're motivated, it's hard to be patient. However, if you lack patience, you'll never last long enough to experience significant gains.
7. Make one change at a time.
You can work on several self-improvement objectives at once but introduce only one at a time into your current routines.
- Making too many changes all at once is overwhelming and a fast track to nowhere.
- Give yourself a wee bit of room to breathe and get one self-improvement project well underway before starting a new one.
There's never been a better time to work on improving yourself or your life!
So much information in so many formats is now available on how to change your life. The only tricky part is applying the information consistently and reaping the rewards.
For your best results, develop the habits necessary to ensure success, enjoy your progress, and be patient. With time, you can accomplish almost anything!!
Are you ready to make personal and spiritual changes in your life? Consider a one on one private session with Moira or a reading to free yourself from limitations and open yourself up to greater possibilities? Click here to open the door.

Weather extremes in 2012 and 2013 impacted corn silage and hay yields for many dairy farms in New York, prompting a growing interest in double cropping of winter cereals for harvest as high quality forage in the spring. From 2012 to 2014, forage yields were measured for 19 cereal rye fields and 44 triticale fields in New York where the winter cereal for forage followed corn. Yields averaged 1.62 and 2.18 tons of dry matter (DM) per acre for cereal rye and triticale, respectively, and 71% of all fields in the study exceeded 1.5 tons DM/acre (Ketterings et al., 2014). To learn from farmers' experiences, 30 New York farm managers that had grown winter cereals for forage were interviewed. Surveyed farmers planted, on average, 8% of their tillable acres to winter cereals with the intent to harvest as forage. Triticale was most frequently used (70%), typically seeded with a drill (57%). Farmers identified timely fall seeding as the biggest challenge with double cropping of winter cereals. Despite challenges and production questions, 83% of the surveyed farmers planned to continue to grow double crops.
Examining the Economics of Double Cropped Winter Cereals for Forage
The economic analysis sought to answer three questions: (1) What are the costs of production associated with double cropped winter cereals for forage following corn silage?; (2) What are the expected changes in profit associated with double cropping?; and (3) What yield levels ensure that adoption of a double cropped winter cereal will be a profitable change? For this analysis, five general scenarios were defined (Table 1).
Producers helped to describe the machinery complement, including size of tillage, planting and harvesting machinery, tractors, and self-propelled units for three dairy farm sizes: 100, 500 and 1,000 cows (Table 2). Scenarios reflected cultural practices, hours per acre by task, input use, and other factors typical or recommended for the region. Cost concepts, including variable and fixed costs, machinery costs based upon hours of use per acre, and others, were used to estimate costs of production for different scenarios. Lazarus (2014) provided machinery ownership and operating cost per hour estimates. All analyses reflect 2014 price levels.
Partial budgeting was used to estimate changes in profit associated with the double crops versus no winter crop, where profit equaled value of production, income minus the costs of inputs used in production. A partial budget analysis answers four questions: (1) What increases in value of production are expected?; (2) What decreases in costs are expected?; (3) What decreases in value of production are expected?; and (4) What increases in costs are expected? The first two items combine to increase profit, while the third and fourth items combine to decrease profit.
Costs and changes in profit resulting from key variable alternatives were estimated. For costs of production estimates, N application at spring green-up was set at 0 or 75 pounds per acre (two scenarios, based on early research), while expected winter cereal forage yield was 1, 1.5, 2, 3, or 3.5 tons DM per acre (five scenarios, reflecting yield distribution realistic for New York). To estimate the sensitivity of expected changes in profit, we used a forage value of $130, $180, $200, or $220 per ton DM (four scenarios), and defined expected change in corn silage yield following the winter cereal crop in the rotation as 0 (no decline), -0.25, or -1 ton DM per acre (three scenarios).
Costs of Production
Costs of production per ton of winter cereal DM varied by scenario and by other key factors, including expected winter cereal yield and N needs for the winter cereal. For scenarios where the winter forage averaged 2 ton DM per acre without the need for extra N at green-up, costs of production estimates averaged $94 per ton DM and ranged from $83 for no-till in Northern NY to $118 per ton DM for conventional tillage scenarios also in Northern NY. When 75 lbs of N per acre were needed to obtain the same 2 tons DM/acre winter forage yield, costs of production estimates averaged $122 per ton DM and ranged from $111 for no-till in Northern NY to $145 per ton DM for Northern NY conventional tillage scenarios.
Expected Changes in Profit and Breakeven Yields
Expected changes in income included the value of production assigned to the winter cereal harvested as forage and expected change in value of corn silage production where appropriate. Expected increases in costs included labor; machinery repairs and maintenance; fuel, oil and grease; fertilizer where appropriate; seeds; spray and other crop expenses. The analyses also reflect depreciation, but only when it was considered to be use-related, that is, when use affects the expected years owned and/or expected salvage value. Expected changes in profit averaged across the three farm sizes varied by scenario and by other key factors (Table 3).
Where 75 lbs of N was needed at green-up to generate 2 tons of DM per acre and a 1 ton DM per acre yield decline occurred for the corn seeded after the winter cereals due to a delayed planting date, expected changes in profit ranged from -$44 to +$16 per acre for the Northern NY conventional and Western NY no-till scenarios, respectively, and averaged -$2 per acre across all scenarios. Where corn yield deceased by 1 ton DM per acre and 75 lbs N per acre was needed at green-up for the winter cereal, the break-even winter forage yields averaged 2 tons DM per acre, and ranged from 2.3 to 1.9 tons DM per acre for the NNY conventional and the two no-till scenarios, respectively (Table 3). If in the same scenario, corn silage yield was not impacted, the break-even winter forage yield averaged 1 ton DM per acre. This was further reduced to 0.7 tons of DM if no N was needed at green-up of the winter forage (Table 3).
Economic analyses suggest that double cropping a winter cereal for forage following corn silage has the potential to be an economically attractive, beneficial change in practice for dairy farms in NY. This includes double cropping's role in successfully managing risks related to meeting forage needs of the herd over time. Costs of production analyses suggest that double cropped winter cereals likely compare favorably to costs and/or values of alternative forages over a range of expected winter cereal yields. Partial budget analyses suggest that adoption of double cropped winter cereals as forages could be an economically beneficial change in practice for dairy farms (expected changes in profit exceed zero over a range of key factors). Break-even analyses suggest that producers have to obtain yields around 2 tons DM per acre to ensure that a double cropped winter cereal's expected benefits are greater than or equal to expected changes in costs under the most demanding, least favorable set of assumptions (i.e., 75 lbs N/acre at green-up and a corn silage yield reduction of 1 ton DM per acre). Results are sensitive to a number of factors including expected winter cereal yield, expected value of forage, spring N addition needed, expected effect on corn silage yield and others.

Not to be outdone by FaceBook, Google is taking steps towards implementing facial biometrics, with its latest move being the acquisition Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (PittPatt). PittPatt provides technology can search images for faces, determine if faces are the same person and track faces in video sequences. Recently it released software that improved performance by expanding the range of yaw angles for which recognition is possible.
Only in the last few months Google appeared to be veering away from implementing facial biometrics on the grounds of privacy concerns. But this latest acquisition shows that Google is hedging its bets, and considers the technology (alongside other computer vision applications) worth investing in.
PittPatt began its life at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute in the 1990s and continued with the launching of Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (PittPatt) in 2004.
A statement on the company's website said: "We've worked hard to advance the research and technology in many important ways and have seen our technology come to life in some very interesting products. At Google, computer vision technology is already at the core of many existing products (such as Image Search, YouTube, Picasa, and Goggles), so it's a natural fit to join Google and bring the benefits of our research and technology to a wider audience. We will continue to tap the potential of computer vision in applications that range from simple photo organization to complex video and mobile applications."

(Registered Charity No 800524 )
The St Nicholas Great Wilbraham Trust is a charitable body that raises money for the repair and maintenance of the Great Wilbraham Parish Church of St Nicholas. St Nicholas' is an Anglican Church within the Church of England Diocese of Ely, whose head is the Bishop of Ely.
Since 2007, repairs costing in excess of £325,000, have been financed by private donations, grants from English Heritage and the Historic Churches Trust. Grant giving bodies always take into consideration the amount of funding raised by the community who are making an application. This funding has enabled the Parochial Church Council to carry out repairs to the following:-
In December 2017 the Trust provided £15,000 to enable the PCC to commission urgent repairs to the external masonry around the window at the west end of the south elevation. It is hoped that this urgent work will be able to be carried out during 2018.
Some donors make regular monthly payments and some make one-off donations when appeals are made for specific projects.
A capital fund was started in 2017 which increases the options for donation. The objective of the capital fund is to make investment income from the fund available for ongoing maintenance projects, whilst preserving capital, thus bolstering the long term future for maintenance at St Nicholas. The capital fund is likely to appeal to those who wish to make larger donations, either during their lifetime or a bequest in their will. Current legislation allows Estate Duty to be reduced if 10% of the taxable value of an estate is left to charity.
Our next benefit auction will be held on 24th February in the Great Wilbraham Memorial Hall. Please find the supporting documents here for download:

Gill steps down
Posted: Friday 24th August 2018 - 1:08 PM
Castleford Tigers can confirm that Steve Gill has left the club's board of directors.
In March 2018 Steve stepped down from his role as CEO with Castleford Tigers, but remained on the club's board of directors.
In recent week's Steve has taken on a new challenge as the General Manager at Keighley Cougars, and in line with RFL rules, nobody can be a person of influence at two Rugby League clubs, therefore Steve has had to step down from the Castleford Tigers board of directors to commit to his new club.
Speaking today Castleford Tiger's chairman Ian Fulton said: "It's a sad day to see Steve step down from our board and I am extremely grateful for the times we have shared together with this fantastic Rugby League club. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Steve well in his new role and it's great that he will still be involved in our great game, and we hope to see Keighley Cougars grow and flourish under his leadership. Steve will now become an honorary life member here at Castleford Tigers and we'll look forward to seeing him enjoying our matches here at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle."
Castleford Tigers are back in action on Saturday 1st September when they take on Catalans Dragons at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. Click here for ticketing details.

LONDON (Reuters) – British transport company FirstGroup <FGP.L> replaced its chief executive after what its chairman called a disappointing year and said it was putting its Greyhound bus business in the U.S. under review.
FirstGroup, which rejected two approaches from a private equity firm earlier this year, reported a 5 percent fall in adjusted pretax profit to 197 million pounds for the year to March 31, slightly behind a consensus forecast.
The bus and rail operator said its CEO Tim O'Toole would be replaced by Wolfhart Hauser, who becomes executive chairman, on Thursday and Matthew Gregory, who takes on a chief operating officer role in addition to his duties as chief finance officer.

text: Tussle Over Participation In India Compulsory Licence Hearing 14/03/2008 by Tatum Anderson for Intellectual Property Watch 2 Comments Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)By Tatum Anderson for Intellectual Property Watch Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche is expected to appear before the Indian Patent Office on 17 March to assert its right to attend a later meeting that could result in one of its drugs being copied, without its permission, by an Indian generic pharmaceutical company. The hearing is due to be held at the country's patent office in Delhi and is the result of an application made to the Indian government by the domestic generic company Natco last September. Natco applied to the Indian Patent Controller for a compulsory licence, permission to copy two cancer drugs that are under patent in India, and export them to Nepal. One drug, called erlotinib, was patented in India last year by Swiss manufacturer Roche under the brand name Tarceva. The other is also a cancer drug called sunitinib and is sold by US manufacturer Pfizer under the brand name Sutent. Under WTO rules, compulsory licences can be issued without the authorisation of the patent holder if the country to which a drug is being exported is deemed to have no manufacturing capacity of its own and has declared a need for it. Such licences can be issued in special cases, such as during a national emergency or for government use, as deemed by the recipient government. If the patent office agrees to the application, it would be the first time such permission has been given in India and only the second time in the world. [Editor's Note: This refers to compulsory licensing for export (see IPW, Developing Country Policy, 20 February 2008)]. The hearings on the applications were to have been held last month. However, when it emerged that one patent-holder, Roche, had been invited to attend the hearing on its drug, Natco filed a so-called interlocutory petition, an objection aimed at blocking Roche's appearance. It did so because it believes that under Indian law, Roche should not be allowed to attend CL hearings. "There is no necessity for the patentee to come to the hearing," said M Adinarayana, company secretary and general manager for corporate affairs at the Hyderabad firm. "The CL is between the patent office and the Natco. That is the reason why we objected." It argued as such during a hearing at the end of February. For its part Roche, says it was invited to the compulsory licence hearing by the Indian government. "Originally, Roche was invited to attend the hearings by the Patent Controller of the Indian patent office," said a spokesperson for Roche. The Indian Patent Office was not available for comment. On 17 March, Roche is expected to defend its right to appear at the eventual compulsory licence hearing, possibly occurring in the coming weeks. The company would not comment on the hearing, saying, "We are currently in the legal process of hearings with the Patent Controller and therefore cannot comment on the actions of our legal team." However, observers including Natco, say that Roche will put forward an argument based one of the principles of the so-called natural justice philosophy, which is accepted in India. It is expected to argue the principle that proceedings should be conducted so they are fair to all the parties – expressed in latin audi alteram partem – essentially "hear the other side." Some Lawyers Agree with Natco's Assessment Tahir Amin, a lawyer at I-MAK, a US non-profit that specialises in combating IP obstacles for public health crises said: "I'm concerned about this talk of hearings to decide the compulsory licence request and allowing the patentee (Roche) to present a case at a hearing – which by the Indian Patent Act's wording should not be permitted." According to the Act, the patent office should grant a compulsory licence on the basis that the paperwork within an application is in order. Companies applying for a licence, in essence, require a written request from the countries with no capacity, ordering a particular quantity of drugs, he said. Indeed, a recently-issued draft of the patent office's own "Manual on Practice" stresses that the compulsory licence should be granted immediately on request. Amin, who has seen the draft, said: "While the manual is only in draft, the nature and purpose of [the section] is such that it removes any opportunity for the patentee to oppose or challenge the granting of a compulsory licence for export." Indeed, the patent office's activities so far suggest it is in favour of Roche's presence at the hearing on the application, when it finally takes place. "The current question mark is how is the Indian Patent Office going to handle these requests and what will be the procedure," said Amin. "But this is the Indian Patent Office – so we don't know how they are going to work it, especially if big pharma starts kicking up a fuss." Other Lawyers Agree with Roche Krishna Sarma, managing partner at Corporate Law Group, a Delhi-based law firm which has represented Roche in the past but not in this particular case, said, "Calling a hearing is the incipient right of the Controller. If he thinks it is right, he can call for a hearing," she said. "Roche should attend the hearings to get the facts right." Curiously, one industry observer suggested Natco may find it difficult to present a compelling case for a compulsory licence at the hearing. That is because the letter sent by the Nepalese government to Natco requesting it to manufacture the drugs may not explicitly mention a public health crisis nor a lack of manufacturing capacity, according to the observer who claims to have knowledge of the letter's contents. Nevertheless, once Roche has put forward its arguments, the Patent Controller will take a decision on whether the company can attend meetings in a matter of weeks. The hearing on the application for a compulsory licence – and probably the contents of the letter – will then follow. Tatum Anderson may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fight fatigue with warm meals
How to properly improve mental and physical weakness with proper nutrition
When we get tired in the evening, we go to bed and sleep. Most people can then get fit and vital in the morning. But what if, after the nocturnal bed rest, we are just as exhausted in the morning as we were the night before, and this phenomenon is repeated daily? We then drag ourselves through the day, feel broken even without effort and just want to rest. But resting does not help. In this case, doctors speak of the so-called "fatigue".
Many people often put a (low) energy deficit on too much stress or age and try to repress it. However, fatigue is often characterised by progressive deterioration, albeit slowly.
The following symptoms indicate fatigue and are suitable for self-testing:
Quick Fatigue – Will I get tired quickly, no matter how exhausting an activity is?
Lack of concentration – Can I focus only badly and forget quickly?
Strong need for stimulants – Am I always drinking coffee? Or do I have a craving for alcohol and cigarettes?
Overly long sleep – Do I sleep much longer than eight to nine hours at night?
Mental fatigue – Do I constantly feel tired/stressed/overloaded?
The most common causes of fatigue include poor blood circulation, metabolic diseases, infections, inflammatory diseases, heart or lung disease, side effects of drugs, excessive work without regular periods of rest, too low hydration, hormonal disorders, vitamin deficiencies or even cancer and chemotherapy, etc.
However, if there is no underlying disease or excessive workload, fatigue can often be counteracted by a high-quality diet.
Ayurvedic nutritional principles fight fatigue
Nowadays, smoothies and raw foods are in vogue. In the first few days of a raw food diet, we may feel better in the short term. The body is cleansed by the fibre and receives, in contrast to a diet rich in fast food or similar, many essential vitamins and minerals. However, a long-term raw food diet is not recommended for everyone. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is pointed out that mainly people with a Vata or Pitta constitution tend to have indigestion and degeneration of the joints, for example.
Ayurvedic medicine, therefore, recommends eating hot meals.
Here are some benefits of hot meals at a glance:
They help to increase and maintain the body's core temperature
They are easy to digest and less likely to cause bloating
Nutrients can be absorbed more easily.
The risk of bacterial contamination is very low
How about a small challenge?
From now on, for a month, also incorporate a hot breakfast and a hot dinner into the diet and discover the effects on digestion and well-being! There are many options: warm porridge, vegetable soups, pancakes or lentil soup. The imagination knows no limits!
We wish you success! 🙂

Horrified ScotRail passenger shares snap of dirty old guard's carriage as service continues to struggle
Grim image shows commuters on the Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh service were forced to use the grubby caged compartment without seats because the train was so full
A HORRIFIED ScotRail passenger has shared a picture of the dirty old guard's carriage he was forced to commute in.
The image by Facebook user 'Aitcheffsee Broon' shows the grubby, stained floor of the caged compartment which does not have a single seat.
The Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh service - which costs commuters £55 a week - used the carriage because the train was so full.
ScotRail confirmed in a response to his post that they were using the "guard's van" to provide extra capacity.
Posting directly to the Scotrail Facebook page yesterday morning the angry commuter shared the grim picture with the caption: "So Scotrail this is the new and improved travel?
"In a luggage car because there's not enough cars with seats? Mmmm?"
His photo shows the old caged compartment with no seats and a dirty, stained red floor.
Outside the mesh cage, there's a tight corridor with a worn out floor and doors and windows which look unfamiliar to those usually seen in carriages meant for passengers.
Scotrail responded to his grievance to say: "That's one of our loco hauled service, it provides extra capacity on the Fife Circle service in the morning peak for passengers."
'Aitcheffsee' responded to point out that the company had perhaps failed to pick up on his sarcastic comment about "new and improved" travel.
He replied: "Scotrail that was meant as sarcasm" Why not put on carriages with seats?"
The company responded: "We do have 5 coaches which are fully seated on the train, this is the guards/brake van you're in.
"We're using every carriage we have available I'm afraid, there are no extra that we can add at the moment."
Top Stories:
After the passenger drew attention to ScotRail's claims to be introducing faster and more spacious trains, the firm replied: "We've more trains on the way but it's not an overnight fix I'm afraid."
Fellow Facebook user, James Reilly, commented on the picture: "This has to be a new low."
It recently emerged that a Scotrail train didn't collect passengers at one station because the driver "forgot to stop".
Commuters fuming when a train missed out Croy were told: "The driver forgot to stop."
They had half an hour added to journey times after the Glasgow to Edinburgh service hurtled past the Lanarkshire station without warning.
When under-fire ScotRail faced a barrage of complaints online, bosses blamed bungling staff.
One customer tweeted: "Hi, why was the 1.12pm Croy to Edinburgh train cancelled?" The firm's official account replied: "Hi, really sorry the driver forgot to stop."
Other passengers branded the company a "shambles".
The under-fire firm also hit the headlines recently when it was revealed that they apologise once every 51 minutes on social media for train troubles.

Millenial Media Report: Mobile Retail Buyers Present Holiday Opportunity
Mobile ad network Millenial Media has posted its August S.M.A.R.T. report, which spotlights trends in mobile advertising and commerce based on activity across its network (both actual campaigns and network data). The latest release centers on mobile retail advertising and buying behavior in advance of the upcoming holiday shopping season.
Top takeaways from the report include:
– 27 percent of mobile subscribers who access retail content on their phones are mobile-only. In other words, they cannot be reached online or in-store … only through their mobile devices. This creates an entirely new and uniquely mobile retail audience for advertisers to cater to.
– Mobile retail users trend more affluent than the aggregate mobile audience, rating higher in all income brackets above $50,000.
– Popular items that mobile retail users investigated included electronics (31 percent), clothing/accessories (29 percent) and books (21 percent) … all ripe holiday retail categories.
– On the advertising side, the majority of campaigns (57 percent) were still purposed for "broad reach," although the remaining 43 percent had targeted audience reach goals. Among targeted campaigns, GEO was the most prevalent method (41 percent). Retail and restaurant franchises and banks were active geotargeters. Demographic targeting trailed closely (37 percent), with automotive (millenials) and pharmaceuticals (women) prevalent users of this method.
This Post Has One Comment
Geo-targeting is a great way to increase conversions and click through rate. People are more willing to buy if the offer is more relevant to them. Also, users are more trusting of local offers.

You can earn money as an independent field inspector
A field inspector is a person who inspects the building or property involved in a financial transaction. Goods can be considered included in the loan, whether the object has been purchased you with a loan or a guarantee. Duties vary, but field inspectors usually check the serial numbers and overall condition. When the companies are hiring, you can make money in this work independently, but there are different ways to earn income that influence as field inspector.
Supply versus demand
The disadvantage of being a field inspector is that the work is not consistent. While some field inspectors work a regular schedule of 9-5, many companies use them only when necessary. Therefore, the demand for field inspectors may vary depending on the market.
The salary range of a field inspector vary depending on the work you do. According to the All Fields Training Institute (training for all fields), a person can earn between $ 25 and $ 100 per inspection. However, the time it takes each job will be considerably different. In addition, an independent inspector may be required to pay their own costs of transport , which can reduce your total earnings for each job.
While you can make money as an independent field inspector, you must first confirm that there is sufficient demand in your area. You can do so by calling the companies that hire inspectors and asking if they are vacant and if so, the amount of work they receive their inspectors. You must be careful not to pay for training as an inspector not sure it's necessary and you systematically used after it is finished.
Training field inspector
One of the advantages of being a field inspector is that very little training is required. In general, the field inspector should be able to be transported to various areas to conduct inspections and to perform simple tasks such as walking, talking and operate a point and shoot camera. This means that work is available for a relatively large group of people.

I have wrinkles pretty much across my entire face! So where would Botox be best suited/safe/effective?
A: Botox indications
If you have wrinkles across your entire face, Botox may only be able to partially help you. Botox only works for dynamic wrinkles, those lines cause by overactive facial contractions, such as crow's feet near eyes, frown lines in between eyes (above nose) and horizontal forehead lines.
If you loose skin with fine lines and wrinkles, then you may require a surgical procedure such as a facelift or perhaps laser resurfacing/chemical peel, combined with Botox.
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to thoroughly evaluate your face and recommend a plan for facial rejuvenation, that may or may not, include Botox.

Gap announced last week that it would soon end the practice of on-call scheduling, which requires workers to call in before a shift to see if they are needed. By the beginning of next year, the company's five brands — Athleta, Banana Republic, Gap, Intermix and Old Navy — will give employees at least 10 to 14 days' notice of their schedules.
Gap follows Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks and Victoria's Secret in promising to end on-call scheduling. It took strong public and regulatory pressure to get the companies to change, but change they have.
Unfortunately, unpredictable scheduling is still widespread. According to federal data, 66 percent of food service workers, 52 percent of retail workers and 40 percent of janitors and house cleaners have at most a week's notice of their schedules.
On-call scheduling is but one of many dubious pay and scheduling practices. Workers who show up for a scheduled shift may be sent home without pay if business is slow. Schedules can fluctuate from week to week, making it hard to manage family life or calculate a budget.
Victoria's Secret engages in still another questionable practice. Salespeople are offered a bonus based on a formula that takes into account sales per hour. But the calculation includes hours when the store is closed — hours spent tidying up, for instance, when there is obviously no chance to make sales. By reducing the sales-per-hour number, this formula can put a bonus out of reach. Victoria's Secret would not comment on its bonus policy.
The fundamental problem is that as scheduling has become a tool for higher profits, it has also generated unfair practices. Software lets employers calibrate maximum profit at minimum labor cost. Managers are often compensated on the efficiency of their staff. A retail manager's best employee would not necessarily be the top seller, but rather the one who sells the most at the lowest pay.
Then, too, there is abuse of overtime, in which a company shifts work from hourly workers eligible for time-and-a-half pay to salaried workers who are ineligible for overtime pay. A former salaried executive assistant manager at Walgreens, Caleb Sneeringer, said his hours ballooned to up to 70 a week when the chain stopped scheduling most hourly workers for overtime around 2010. Walgreens says it does not have a no-overtime policy and tries to manage "overtime hours efficiently while providing a high level of customer service."
A rule recently proposed by the Labor Department would be both fair and efficient. It would make salaried employees eligible for overtime if they make less than $50,440 a year. (The current threshold, which has barely budged since 1975, is $23,660.) Retailers and other low-wage employers strongly oppose the proposal. Meanwhile, bills in Congress and some states would curb some of the most disruptive scheduling practices, including on-call shifts or sending workers home early without pay. Approving these bills will require lawmakers to put the interests of workers ahead of their corporate contributors.

It's time for festivity at the wineries and everyone is busy getting ready. The only bad thing is that the new landowner has dramatically raised the rent on the water line crossing his land for one winery. They can't afford to pay that. Then there's even worse news: The new landowner is found dead...
Lyrical Underground and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It will be published on September 25th.
While the winery owners try to figure out who killed him, suspects are arrested and then released. In this story, the killer was one of the last persons I would have expected.
It was fun watching her take her evidence to the rascally detective who just tells her to keep her nose out of it. He ends up using her evidence to find the killer, so he needs to apologize. He won't though.
It was a fun cozy read.

You may have already received a hard copy letter which provided you with an update on the Unique Student Identifier (USI) for the VET sector. As promised, here is a follow up email to your nominated contact details listed on Training.gov.au.
In 2012 Commonwealth, State and Territory governments agreed to introduce a USI linked to the national VET data collection. This will provide students with access to and control over their future training records and help to streamline data exchange between students, training providers and other relevant stakeholders.
Enabling legislation is required to support the USI initiative. The previous Student Identifiers Bill 2013 lapsed when the last Parliament was dissolved but a revised Student Identifiers Bill 2014 was reintroduced by the Australian Government on 27 March 2014. For more information on the Student Identifiers Bill 2014, please visit our website.
To provide time for passage of the legislation and for sector preparations, legislative requirements in the relation to the USI are scheduled to come into full effect from 1 January 2015.
From that date, all RTOs will be required to collect and verify a USI for each student prior to issuing a qualification or statement of attainment, and to include the USI in their returns to the national VET data collection. The onus will be on the student to obtain a USI but RTOs may choose to assist students with the process.
To help RTOs, their staff and students prepare for introduction of the USI, the USI Taskforce will be providing information, answering questions, trialing and supplying supporting materials and tools progressively over the next nine months leading up to full implementation. The USI system will be available before full implementation and students and RTOs are encouraged to begin applying for and collecting USIs ahead of the formal commencement date. The USI Implementation Timeline below provides an outline of the major stages.
Third Party Testing of the USI System - Available Now
The USI IT system and processes have been designed as far as possible to cater for RTOs of different size, scope and business focus. From previous consultations, we are aware that most RTOs will seek to incorporate collection, verification and reporting of the USI into their Student Management System (SMS). One key to smooth implementation of the USI is access to early advice on IT options. The USI IT Technical Services Contract has been available on the USI website since November 2012 and a number of SMS software suppliers have planned or commenced USI integration work.
We also acknowledge that RTOs will need to integrate and test their updated systems with the USI IT system. The environment for testing RTO or vendor SMS integration with the USI system is now available and will be available on an ongoing basis.
RTO in-house developers and SMS developers, who wish to test their systems for web service authentication, connectivity and functionality with the USI System, can make arrangements now by emailing the USI Taskforce for further information at firstname.lastname@example.com
Stay Connected… Stay Informed…
In the meantime, if you have any further queries on the USI, please contact the USI Taskforce
Yours sincerely,
Jason Coutts
General Manager
USI Taskforce
VET Data Infrastructure Branch
Department of Industry
USI Implementation Timeline

The Unique Student Identifier (USI) – Questions and Answers
What is a USI?
A USI is effectively an account or reference number made up of numbers and letters. The USI will allow all of an individual's training records, entered in the national vocational education and training (VET) data collection, to be linked.
Once the USI scheme is implemented, each person undertaking Australian nationally recognised VET can obtain a USI and use it each time they enrol in a course. Students will be able to obtain their USI online, including on their mobile devices, at any time.
What do RTOs need to do?
From 1 January 2015, RTOs seeking to offer nationally recognised training will need to:
collect a USI for each enrolling student before they issue that student with a statement of attainment or qualification
verify a USI - a number of options to verify a USI supplied by students will be available, including real time or batch processing via RTOs' Student Management Systems.
include the USI as part of their report on training activity for the national VET data collection – the current reporting template for the national VET data returns (Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Statistical Standard - AVETMISS 7.0) already includes a USI field.
What difference will the new initiative make to students and training providers?
For the first time, every student who undertakes nationally recognised VET in Australia will be able to access his or her enrolment and achievement record from a single authoritative source.
After the new initiative is implemented, students will be able to get a transcript of the accredited VET training they undertake. The transcript will include the VET training a student does from the time the USI initiative is implemented. There will be significant benefits to training providers from the introduction of the USI which will grow over time, especially around assessing students for admission to courses. RTOs will have better access to student VET records which will simplify the process of assessing pre-requisites, credit transfer and entitlement to funding for training.
In broader terms, RTOs will benefit from improved longitudinal data on course completions and other factors which will inform the development of future VET sector policy initiatives.
What help/support is available for RTOs?
Specifications to allow training providers' Student Management Systems (SMS) to communicate automatically with the USI system are already available for SMS vendors and RTOs. A third party testing environment and support arrangements are already in place now.
Following passage of the Student Identifiers legislation, the IT systems supporting the Student Identifier scheme will be rolled out progressively in the second half of 2014. This will allow time for RTOs to test their connections and to begin collecting USIs for any continuing students.
The best options for each RTO preparing for the introduction of the USI will vary depending on their size, scope and existing business arrangements. The USI Taskforce will be working with State and Territory authorities, peak training bodies and RTOs to provide advice and help build staff and student awareness of the introduction of the USI.
The USI Taskforce will be contacting RTOs on a regular basis throughout 2014 to help them incorporate the USI in their business processes.

Just like you, Barnes & Noble College is always striving to provide the lowest cost options for your students on the course materials required for their success. For print materials, used textbooks are the format of choice for most students with rentals being a close second.
With the increased popularity of eBooks and interactive Courseware, driven by the Gen Z population who are entering our campuses today, we have an even greater responsibility to lower the overall cost of course materials. Your bookstore is addressing this with the launch of our First Day™ model. Providing you with an option to lower the cost on your required digital course materials. The model provides access within the LMS to digital course materials on or before the first day of class at a reduced price that is included as a course material charge on the student account. Please contact your Bookstore Manager for more details on this exciting program.
On August 1, 2018, we began providing another unique opportunity for students to save money through Cengage Unlimited.
If you use Cengage course materials, you may want to consider Cengage Unlimited as an option that could lower costs to your students if they are using multiple Cengage titles or when the other available options like Used or Rental total more than the CU subscription price. ONE student subscription includes access to all Cengage online textbooks, platforms, study tools and more – in ONE place, for ONE price.
- Cengage Unlimited is available to students through the bookstore — where all payment methods and special funding is accepted.
- Cengage Unlimited in the bookstore is priced the same as it is if the student would order it directly from Cengage.
- The purchase price for one semester of Cengage Unlimited is $119.99. One year and two year options are also available.
- Students using Cengage Unlimited with Cengage digital courseware can add a print-rental for $7.99 — free shipping.
When you submit your book order, simply include the course materials you are using but add the Cengage Unlimited access length (4-month, one-year, or two-year) that you would like made available to your students. We will continue to offer students all affordable options, in addition to Cengage Unlimited.
Your bookstore team is prepared and ready to assist students who have questions. You can also learn more at https://www.cengage.com/unlimited.

Manitoba's beef cattle sector awarded for its environmental stewardship
Posted May 25, 2018
Manitoba's beef cattle sector recognized by Manitoba Sustainable Development for its
ongoing work in protecting and enhancing prairie grasslands.
WINNIPEG – Presented on May 22, the 2017 Manitoba Excellence in Sustainability Award (Water and Natural Area Stewardship category) was awarded to the Association of Manitoba Community Pastures (AMCP). Manitoba Beef Producers also earned an honourable mention for its role with the Species at Risk Partnership on Agricultural Lands (SARPAL) initiative, completing a beef sector sweep of the awards category.
"Seeing both organizations recognized shows just how important beef producers are to conservation and enhancement of natural habitats and the environment in Manitoba," said Tim Sopuck, Chief Executive Officer of the Manitoba Heritage Habitat Corporation, which nominated Manitoba Beef Producers. He noted that pastures and haylands managed for cattle represent the single largest source of natural habitat in Manitoba's agricultural region.
Manitoba Beef Producers President Ben E. Fox added the work by beef producers to protect natural habitats for species at risk and preserve our natural grasslands, demonstrates how beef production can be a part of the solution for many of society's environmental concerns.
"Where bison once grazed and maintained natural grasslands, cattle now have an important place in the protection and maintenance of this threatened natural ecosystem. Helping protect healthy grasslands and water supplies is beneficial not only for beef production, but for the overall environment," Fox said. "As beef producers, we are some of the best stewards of the environment, and have long recognized the importance of a healthy environment to our industry and the integral role that producers play in protecting it."
MBP is pleased to be involved with Environment and Climate Change Canada and its SARPAL initiative which offers cost-shared funding to promote grassland management practices that protect the habitat of grassland birds such as the Sprague's pipit, Ferruginous hawk, Chestnut-collared longspur, Loggerhead shrike, Burrowing owl and the Baird's sparrow. Already, 4,000 hectares (9,884 acres) of land in southwestern Manitoba has been impacted by this work in just one year.
"The birds need the cattle", says Tim Poole, Manitoba Important Bird Areas Coordinator with Nature Manitoba, who adds, "without the cattle to graze, the grasslands get overgrown with brush or plowed under, and the birds lose important nesting grounds. It is essential to the survival of these at-risk birds that the grasslands be protected."
MBP congratulates the AMCP on winning the award. The work AMCP does is important to the growth of the beef sector in Manitoba and helps provide environmental protections to more than 350,000 acres of grassland in 20 pastures. AMCP's work, founded in efforts to rehabilitate marginal lands and make them a productive resource for cattle production coming out of the dry 1930s is still important today to help grow the beef sector. AMCP's efforts are critical in managing these valuable landscapes, enhancing water filtration and retention, carbon sequestration, soil conservation as well as the protection of wetlands and wildlife habitat.
Manitoba's beef industry is proud of the recognition that our producers received with these awards for their long-standing efforts to be good stewards of our environment.
The awards were presented by Manitoba Sustainable Development.

For more on the Iran sanctions situation, euronews was joined by Mehrdad Emadi, External Economic Consultant with the European Union.
"Mr Emadi, with Europe facing the challenges of the debt crisis, how can the region's economy afford to take part in these sanctions?"
Mehrdad Emdi:
"The European Union does have such capacity in general, except for those members which, during the past year, have been constantly dealing with financial crises and debts.
"For those countries that have long-term, strong links with Iran, and which are meeting their energy needs from Iran, they will find it difficult to find other oil suppliers. That's because Iran offers these countries flexible deals on payment and on price which, under the current circumstances, would be very difficult to find elsewhere."
"What is the difference between these sanctions and the previous ones? By doing things like selling oil in other currencies (rather than in dollars) and finding new markets, can Iran get around these sanctions? And what will happen if China does not join the sanctions?
Mehrdad Emadi:
"I'll answer the third part of your question first. The issue of China and its cooperation is very, very crucial (for the sanctions to be effective) because China buys more than 22 percent of Iran's crude oil and this is one third of the total of oil that Iran exports. If China joins the sanctions, Iran's oil industry would be directly (effectively) paralysed.
"That would cut Iran's income to nothing, cash and the goods that some countries exchange for oil. Globally I must say that these sanctions have been more effective than Iran had originally thought they would be because, I think, Tehran had not taken into account that the main source of Iran's hard currency income comes from selling oil and gas to the EU and Japan, and it will be a big deal if the European Union stops its oil purchases from Iran. It is true that the European Union buys 18.5 percent of Iran's oil, but 40 percent of Iran's hard currency income comes from its oil sales to the EU."
"Although the west says that these sanctions are intended to put pressure on the Iranian regime, we've received emails from our viewers challenging that and saying that Iran's people are being pressured by the sanctions, particularly the poor, and this will get worse and widen the gap between the rich and the poor. What do you think about this?"
Mehrdad Emadi:
"These recent sanctions — which include sanctions against Iran's Central Bank and on Iran's oil — have, in the past few weeks, led to a severe rise in prices of goods in Iran and also resulted in Iran's currency, the rial, falling in value against hard currencies. What have seen in the past few weeks is the result of the new sanctions, but I have not seen anyone, at any level in the west, saying that Iran's people should be put under pressure."
"All in all, in your opinion, who will pay the greatest price from these sanctions, in the economic terms? Iran or the West?"
Mehrdad Emadi:
"Undoubtedly, Iran will pay a higher price. In the best scenario, if the cost of all this is going to be 50/50 for the two sides, we have 27 partners on the one side who will share the costs while, on the other side, the whole burden will be on the shoulders of just one country.
"However, it will not be equal damage for the two sides as the European Union needs Iran for its energy supplies; and for five European countries Iran is a great industrial market. However, Europe has been the engine and the main and fundamental source of Iran's industrialisation in crucial areas. In this context, I think Iran's economy will be paying the most."

Earlier this week, Freddie Mac launched the Freddie Mac Multifamily Green Advantage(SM), a flexible, cost-effective suite of offerings to finance resource-efficient multifamily rental housing that is available with most of its multifamily loan products. With this new offering, borrowers can get better pricing and increase their Freddie Mac loan amounts to finance energy and water efficiency improvements on multifamily properties. Freddie Mac will reimburse borrowers all or part of the cost of the energy audit used to identify cost-saving features and improvements for their approved loan.
Multifamily buildings with at least one affordable rental unit that either have or are seeking NGBS Green certification will qualify for the better pricing on existing green buildings under Green Advantage. Borrowers have two financing options:
Under Green Up, savings are calculated through a Green Assessment(SM), a short, straightforward evaluation of green opportunities, estimated costs, and projected savings. For Green Up Plus, borrowers must provide a Green Assessment Plus(SM), which is a more detailed analysis, based on an ASHRAE Level 2 assessment, that can potentially lead to greater savings opportunities. require a minimum projected savings of at least 15 percent (water or energy usage) and give borrowers up to two years to complete the improvements.
The Freddie Mac Multifamily Green Advantage significantly expands on the Green Rebate Freddie Mac began offering last year to borrowers who voluntarily provided an ENERGY STAR score with their loan documents. More information on Green Advantage is available on Freddie Mac's website. More information on how to renovate an existing multifamily building to attain NGBS Green certification and benefit from Green Advantage can be found on the Home Innovation website.

India's plan for a 'strategic uranium reserve' received a huge boost with a joint research team of the city-headquartered Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD) and Osmania University discovering significant quantity of uranium reserves in the Srisailam forests.
The AMD-OU team carried out research in an area spread over 45 sq km around Srisailam sub-basin of Kadapa super basin in Andhra Pradesh. A part of the Kadapa super basin extends over to Telangana state. The team zeroed in on Chennakesavula Gutta and Padra villages using the latest equipment to detect the precious radioactive element. The quality of the uranium mineralization discovered in these two areas is superior and comparable to the one available in Canada and Australia, team members informed.
Earlier, the AMD had discovered uranium reserves in pockets of Mahbubnagar, Karimnagar and Nalgonda districts in Telangana and Guntur and Kadapa districts in Andhra Pradesh. Chennakesavula Gutta and Padra are the latest addition to the vast uranium resources in the two Telugu states. Officials have estimated that AP has about five lakh tonnes of uranium reserves, mostly in the Kadapa super basin while Telangana has about a lakh tonnes of the nuclear resource. The latest discovery has added to the country's nuclear fuel security. AP and Telangana together account for 25 per cent of India's uranium reserves.
The research team comprising S Niranjan Kumar of AMD and Vishnu Bhoopathi, RSN Sastry and B Srinivas of the department of applied geochemistry, Osmania University, published the discovery in the recent issue of the Chinese Journal of Geochemistry. "This discovery represents a significant breakthrough and may contribute substantially to the uranium resource of India. More significantly, the geological understanding of this unique mineralization may give definite clues in locating the classical unconformity-type deposits in the northern parts of the Kadapa basin," the geochemists pointed out.
These deposits have been jointly found in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and would serve as a major source of revenue to the states.
Analysis of the samples collected from Chennakesavula Gutta and Padra villages showed up to 202 parts per million of uranium. Also the uranium deposit in Amrabad mandal of Mahbubnagar district has been found to be unique. "Efforts in the identical geological set-up of Srisailam sub-basin will result in establishing many such deposits of similar quality," they said.
The Uranium Corporation of India has already set up a uranium mining mill at Tummalapalle village in Kadapa district. It has proposed a similar project Lambapur-Peddagattu region in Nalgonda district. A mega nuclear power project has been planned in Srikakulam district and the new discovery in Srisailam is likely to make India self-sufficient in nuclear fuel.

A Christmas tale by local author Alexander Bell
Alexander Bell is a local author who has been writing this tale for around 10 years now. It's available for download and as a paperback from Amazon.
Claus and Claws tells the story of Santa who, having suffered a gardening accident, leaves the Pole for the wider world, evenutally falling under the influence of the urbane and Machiavellian Nick Claws who persuades him, for reasons of his own, to reinvent himself as a modern man of business.
Alexander joined us in the studio to tell us all about the book and read a quick excerpt from it too.
