Woohoo it's Friday and that means the weekend has almost landed, what weddingy things are you all upto this weekend? For me its meeting some of my 2014 couples tomorrow and a wedding fair on Sunday! If your wedding is coming up in the latter part of this year then this post will most definitely interest you. It's time to get those invites out, and it's never too early to send your save the dates for 2015!
Today we're getting to know Mirlah from Best Day Ever, a very pretty new wedding stationery company based in Derby. I'm actually photographing Mirlahs wedding next year and I was so excited when I saw that she was joining this crazy industry of ours by setting up her own stationery business, her designs are absolutely gorgeous and very affordable.
Tell us about what do you do and what services you offer?
Here in glorious Derbyshire I live for celebrating all life's special moments, big, small and fabulous and love nothing more than creating wonderfully pretty wedding stationery for lovely couples! Best Day Ever creates designs that suite you, your personalities and your wedding style. Whether it's one of our 'ready to rock' designs or something more bespoke, we're sure you'll find what you're looking for and at a purse friendly price!
How long have you been doing it & how did you get into it?
Officially I launched best day ever February this year with a brand spanking new website and collections but I first started working within in the wedding industry by blogging for some fantastic Wedding Suppliers about a year ago.
I've always had a love for designing, crafting, styling and of course, weddings and after creating pretty paper goodies for friends and family I decided I'd quite like to share the love. Ta Da! Best Day Ever was born!
What makes your business stand out from the crowd?
Lots of people love the vintage, shabby chic style, and quite rightly so It's wonderful, but I find that people also like a splash of modern design and simplicity; I think my collections are the perfect mix of old meets new. The stationery designs tend to draw on inspiration from decades gone by and play on vintage style but often have a modern twist to keep them fresh, fun and up to date.
Best Day Ever is all about personal and unique service, so where needed I'm on hand to suggest alternative wording options to make sure their invitations are a true reflection of them as a couple.
I believe couples should have the very best on their wedding day regardless of budget and I pride my products on both affordable design and top-notch quality. I like to think there's something for everyone at Best Day Ever, whether it's a design from our personalised 'ready to rock' collections, something completely bespoke or our 'We'll take it from here' option, there's something to suit all budgets.
Our we'll take it from here' service is where couples can choose to roll up their sleeves and print their invitations from home, this option is the best of both worlds; wonderfully pretty design and a cost effective personal touch.
What's the best thing about doing what you do?
I just love being a part of the build up to a couple's big day. An invitation is usually the first glimpse of the wedding day that guests see and can play a real part in setting the tone so it's an absolute pleasure to be involved in that.
Do you have a money-saving tip for Brides & Grooms to be?
Just remember it's your day and don't feel pressured to go completely crazy and blow the bank. Have a budget in mind and do your best to stick to it. Like I said before, everyone deserves the best on their wedding day regardless of budget, you just have to get a little more creative with your cost cutting.
I'm totally loving being engaged and cannot wait until our big day next year. I'd say the best way we've saved a few pennies is by 'shopping 'around. There are so many fabulous suppliers out there, brides and grooms are spoilt for choice and it really pays to do your research and find out as much as you can and not just go with the first thing you see.
There are 2 new collections coming very soon. If you like colourful stripes with a mix of pretty florals or something simple and rustic you're going to love what's coming!
Current Collections
Save the dates- £1.50 Invitations £2.00 full prices on our website.

Max Your Working Memory with Brain Games and Teasers
Draw the letter J on your mental sketchpad. Now draw the letter D. Turn it 90 degrees to the left and put it in top of the J. What does this shape resemble?
An umbrella, of course! You've just used your working memory. Our working memory is a crucial part of the memory system, not least because it helps us to figure things out mentally.
Temporary workspace
Not only can we store information in our short-term memory, but we can also manipulate it. This is why short-term memory is sometimes also called working memory. Working memory is our temporary workspace. We use it in everyday tasks ranging from driving (where you need to keep in mind the location of the cars around you as you navigate through traffic), to preparing a budget (where you need to keep in mind one spending category while working on another), to writing a letter (where you need to keep in mind all you want to say while developing each point a sentence at a time).
Active Thinking
Increasing or maintaining one's working memory ability has enormous benefits in life. It could be compared to boosting the processing capacity of a computer. Working memory is where you do your active thinking and problem solving. So, a well functioning working memory is key to successfully completing many complex activities that require to reason, understand and learn. Try the exercises opposite to use your mental workspace in different situations.
Did You Know: Working Memory vs IQ
Exercise Your Working Memory
Children at school need their working memory for various things, such as when doing maths, analysing information, or even when writing down homework instructions. Research shows that working memory scores at age 5, rather than ID scores, are a better indicator of academic achievement when older (at age 11). This is good news, as working memory can be measured more easily and can also be improved.
1. Mental Rotation
When trying to find the right jigsaw puzzle piece, you often mentally rotate the ones you see on the table to "see" in your working mental space whether they would fit. Let's practice mental rotation here. In each box to the left, study each part of the top figure for 5 seconds. The cover it up and circle the figure in the bottom part that matched it. You will have to mentally rotate the figures to find the answer.
(Solutions below)
2. Backward spelling
You are compiling a school quiz and one of the questions involves spelling several words backward. Before asking the pupils to take part, you decide to try it yourself. Work on one word at a time. Read the word once, then cover it up and spell it backward.
- This is an Excerpt from Max Your Memory (DK, ©2012), by Pascale Michelon, PhD in Cognitive Psychology. Dr. Michelon is an Adjunct Faculty at Washington University, she has written many scientific articles, blogs regularly about brain fitness and brain health.

Ricky and Vera Trueman started Truemans Coaches in Frimley in 1953 with one coach. Their first job was a private hire to London to take passengers to enjoy the Coronation Day revels.
Circa 1955 the business was relocated to Bagshot with the coaches being parked in the Fina Garage and the car park of the Three Mariners public house. The fleet now numbered 2 coaches and alongside of school contracts and private hire, Truemans specialised in organising holidays for senior citizen groups throughout Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.
1975 saw Ricky and Veras son Richard join the company, helping with the maintenance of the vehicles along with driving duties and planning of tours.
By 1976 the fleet had grown to 6 vehicles and moved to premises near The Windmill public house on the London Road Windlesham.
Sadly in 1978 Ricky Trueman (Snr) passed away and the company moved into the ownership of Richard and Vera Trueman.
In 1983 the entire business was moved to premises in Deepcut with on site offices, parking and workshop facilities. From here the company expanded its activities into a programme of Holidays and Day Excursions being offered to the public through a series of brochures, pioneering the Door to Door taxi service, which still remains today.
Come the Millennium (2000) it was time for Truemans Travel to move on and expand by purchasing the well established and respected Fleet Coaches. All of Truemans staff and vehicles were moved lock, stock and barrel to the much larger site in Crookham Road taking the vehicle count from 6 to 18 overnight.
In 2003 the company celebrated its 50th Anniversary with an Olde Tyme Musical production at the Princes Hall which was well attended by many of our loyal customers. Richard Trueman also purchased a new coach in a unique gold livery.
2004 was a landmark year when purpose built facilities were established in North Camp on the old Mervyn Reece petrol station, bringing together offices, workshop and depot facilities all under one roof.
In early 2010 the company was joined by a member of the 3rd generation, Ricky Trueman (Jnr), who like his grandfather and father before him is learning the business by being hands on in all departments.
The companys 60th Anniversary was celebrated in 2013 with the introduction of several new coaches arriving in a very distinctive livery, establishing the corporate design for the future.

Drawing from a recent study from Ricardo-AEA (jointly commissioned by Greenpeace and Transport and Environment), Low Emission Car Measures Under the EU's CO2 Regulations for Passenger Cars, the attached briefing and infographic show that 'supercredits' would only undermine the benefits of the new law and delay the achievement of its 95 gram CO2/km target by 2020. In particular, the less the EU improves the fuel consumption of European vehicles, the higher the costs that will be borne by drivers.
The briefing outlines why supercredits are the wrong proposal at the wrong time, highlighting their negative effects showing they would result in:
• A worse deal for the climate - more CO2 emissions
• A worse deal for Europe's economy - higher oil import bills
• A worse deal for consumers - bigger fuel costs
• A worse deal for Europe's competitiveness - loss of EU leadership on cleaner cars

My short break at Cholmondeley Castle is over and I'm back at work, I flew out to the Gryphon Alpha FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessel yesterday.
We are positioning the FPSO back on its original position after what happened
last year.
During high waves and wind speeds of 56 knots, the Gryphon FPSO lost its heading and began turning so that the wind battered its sides. The FPSO began rocking. At some point in this sequence of events the FPSO began moving off its position. Power was also lost for 30 seconds.
These events lasted 10 minutes, by the end of which the FPSO had moved off its usual position. The oil and gas wells on the sea bed were shutdown immediately. However, in that short time, four of the ten anchors broke and serious damage, was sustained to some of the piping system.
All anchor chains and the various piping, which transports oil to the FPSO, injects gas into reservoirs, or sends controls and signals to and fro, are connected up through the FPSO's turret, a central circular section in the middle of the FPSO.
The cool bit is the turret always stays facing in the same direction so that the various connections do not get entangled, the FPSO can rotate around it in order to always face into the wind. This ensures the stability of the entire FPSO and the piping system.

I am writing this to help other buyers. I was looking…
Price Paid: $230
I am writing this to help other buyers. I was looking for a backcountry tent for me and my wife, and was willing to spend around $500 (CAN) for the long run. But in doing so, the saleslady at the outdoors store, told us how all the workers have the cheap priced Drifter.
At $230 Canadian the last thing I wanted to do is make a mistake on a tent. We liked the easy setup, the weight compared to pricey competators, but you get what you pay for right?
Our first backcountry trip with this tent was in the Canadian Rockies in BC. We got caught hiking in a serious downpour in the mountains to return to the Drifter on a pool of water. Our spot was concave (stupid me) so we felt like we were swooshing on a waterbed. We did not get a drop of water all night and woke up completely dry in this tent.
Just buy and go with no sealing. This tent was fantastic and worth every penny. It was dryer then our front country tent that cost almost double. Love the Drifter 3, thanks Mountain Hardwear!
We just bought this tent today; as such this will…
Design: Summer free standing dome (but light enough to be a backpacker tent)
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Extremely easy - no time at all.
Weight: 5.3 lbs
Price Paid: See Above
We just bought this tent today; as such this will be a 2 part review. The reason I am writing two reviews instead of 1 is that the terrible lack of reviews for this product! But, being a Mountain Hardware fan and avid camper, I decided to go on a limb and be the first to review it. I've got a trip planned on the May Long Weekend (one week from today) so I'll enter the follow up then.
Basically, our decision came down to either the Drifter 3 of the Marmot Limelight 3 for me, my dear lady, and my dog. So, I'll draw on some observations of the Marmot several times through this review--the price, features, and general construction is very similar hence the decision.
The tent took my girlfriend and I about 2 minutes to set up the first time in our backyard, with no instructions (they were included, we just wanted to see how long it would take). Some key features that we really liked were the fact that it's 2 pole construction makes it foolproof. The poles seem sturdy with some solid elastic cable in them that sort of snaps them together on it's own. However, they are just basic aluminum--So, if you take a tumble with these unpadded in your pack, they may bend (but then, so would virtually any aluminum pole from any manufacturer!). I don't foresee that happening but that is honestly the only weak spot that I can imagine.
A major advantage in this tent is it's use of hooks rather then plastic clips to connect the body to the poles. Clips, which rely on tension in the plastic to grip the pole, have a tendency to snap in colder weather (in my experience). This is what the Marmot Limelight 3 has; while I cannot comment on the durability of those clips, the Drifter 3 eliminates the problem entirely by putting the tension in the fabric of the tent and using open S-type hooks. At first glance this may seem bad, as that may be unnecessary wear and tear on the fabric, but that brings me to my next point: Construction.
The fabric, stitching, and overall build quality of the tent is incredible. While the materials were comparable to the Marmot, there is a slightly heavier "d" rating in the mesh of the Drifter. Further, the Drifter has a completely mesh upper, while the Marmot does not--it has mesh windows instead, but not the entire upper. That may be an benefit in colder camping (spring and fall; this is in no way a winter tent), but in a hot, humid summer I welcome the extra ventilation.
There was plenty of sitting room inside--3 people comfortable with a dog--and all of us could sit up nicely.
The twin vestibules are roomy for gear, though I tend to like to keep my gear inside the tent (Especially my boots...I hate bugs in my boots!). That is a major weakness in both the Marmot and the Drifter--I don't see how they are a full 3 person tent. 2 person most certainly; I think it'd be more accurate to call this a 2.5 person tent. If you have a group of 3, you may want to look at a larger tent.
As far as general features, this tent can be pitched on a non-porous surface (ie you don't NEED to use the stakes), which is nice depending on the nature of where you are camping. Further, it includes a gear loft (despite what the salesperson said!). Other then that, creature comforts inside the tent are minimal. To me, that is a good thing--less weight, less set up, less junk--this is an extremely functional tent in that regard. It has everything you need (including mesh pockets for some gear inside) and nothing you don't.
A major strength of this tent (and in my opinion this brand in general) is the attention to the details in the stuff you don't see--the stitching, the quality of materials, etc. While other brands (not necessarily the Marmot, but the cheaper brands I've used) feature things like cell phone pockets and the like, the MHW Drifter pays attention to what really matters--good design, simple setup, and solid materials.
Overall the tent is lightweight, easy to pack, with sturdy construction and a lot of features. I strongly recommend this tent at this point; after this coming weekend when I give it a full field test, I'll chime in with my thoughts.
Update: May 24, 2010
Well, we're back from our MHW Drifter 3's first voyage to the backcountry. The tent performed very well, despite having Mother Nature throw some pretty interesting weather. We had cold, snow, wind, and rain. And maybe a few seconds of sunshine when I wasn't looking! This tent shed it all no problems.
We made an additional purchase of the purpose build groundsheet. It rained virtually all weekend, but the tent vented condensation very well. Due to the weather, our sleeping bag that we were using as a mattress was a bit damp, but this condition was "user error", not the fault of the tent.
Easy set up, it shed the rain with not a drop in on top of us. And at the end of the trip, it was an easy take down. I'd definitely buy this tent again, and am very happy with the purchase.
I recommend a compression stuff sack as well, though, as the tent in its own stuff sack takes up a fair bit of pack space.
Sturdy and well made, the Drifter is a reliable backpacking…

Price Paid: $180
Sturdy and well made, the Drifter is a reliable backpacking tent for two looking for a little extra room.
- Sturdy in wind
- Easy pitch
- Ample vestibules
- Packs small
- Some condensation issues
I have a few Mountain Hardwear products and have been impressed by their offerings, so it was easy for me to pull the trigger on the Drifter 3. I've had it out about 15 times in varying weather so I think I've used it enough to form an opinion.
The freestanding tent is clearly well made, the two pole clip design pitches easily and it packs down much better than I thought it would. The real payoff for me is the size-to-weight ratio. It's about 5 lbs., which takes it out of the UL category, but it's 47" peak high and something like 42 sq. feet of space, those added ounces are more than made up for with the added space. Two campers can really stretch out.
I like the taut pitch and it's held up in 50 MPH gusts although I think it was reaching its limit. The two, 10 sq. foot vestibules offer more than enough space and give each camper their own entrance, exit and garage. The gear loft is an added bonus as are the reflective guy out points and zippers. It's also an awesome tent in the summer without the fly. Love it.
The verdict is still out for me when it comes to ventilation though. While in most cases the condensation has been minor it has taken place. During an extended, cold rain it became slightly problematic. Also, I find the vestibule zippers can fight with me once in a while.
But overall this has been an excellent purchase. I'm not sure you can find much more tent at this price. Keep your eyes open for the sweet sales and you'll more than get your money's worth.
Nice review, TJ! Thanks for sharing it.

This is a great all-around tent. Useful for those weekend getaways and a more challenging expedition into back country. Reliable, fast pitch and easy pack.
- Extremely easy setup/take down
- Light weight
- Excellent pack size
- Roomy
- Ventilation
When searching for a tent we were looking for one that was going to be reliable, lightweight, easy to pitch, and most important keep us out of the elements when called upon. Knowing that we would have many portages, some of them over 15km and lots of gear to carry we made sure that the tent we chose was going to be the perfect match. The Mountain Hardwear Drifter 3 met all the required criteria.
The Drifter 3 has two side doors, allowing for easy access. Two large vestibules to stow gear and more than enough space to accommodate two adults and any additional gear.
Having to move daily this tent was simple to setup, take down and pack with only a two-pole construction. It didn't take up much space in our gear, weighing only 5lbs. With the adjustable fly we were able to keep the heat in on the cold nights and by loosening the fly could let the tent breathe. We did find that ventilation was a bit of a minor issue, which could be approved upon. This tent stood up in the rain, keeping us and our gear dry. Great ventilation with a mesh canopy.
Over all I would recommend this tent for somebody looking to go to their local or for the adventure seeker looking experience the interior. Mountain Hardwear, great job!
Welcome to Trailspace, Jacqui. Thanks for sharing your review. I hope you'll keep us posted on how your tent continues to fare.

Large tent that doesn't weight you down. Keeps you dry. Has easy setup. Good two-person backpacking tent.
- Large but packs small
- Durable
- Keeps you dry.
- Snug for 3 people.
- Does not come with compression sack which is needed to backpack this tent.
I picked this tent up for my backpacking kit. I'm a big guy (300 lbs) and wanted something that would fit me and my plus sized gear. The tent is around 3-4 lbs with the rain fly and comfortably sleeps 2 or a snug 3. I can compress this tent down to the size of a cantaloupe but decided to put it on the bed roll loops of my backpack instead.
I've spent over 7 nights in this tent so far and have been very happy with its durability, ease of setup, vestibule space for gear, and it kept me dry in some pretty good rain. I also like that the rain fly has reflective bits to help you spot it in the dark.
Out for Testing
The Mountain Hardwear Drifter 3 is out for testing and review!

Choosing the best mini-medical school program usually involves looking for a program that offers the most interesting and varied experiences. For example, a program that provides laboratory and observational experiences may prove more interesting than one that is classroom-oriented only. You can also compare programs based on your goals for attendance. For example, you may want a program that provides insight into earning a medical degree and working as a physician if you are still in high school and considering career options. If you are considering applying to medical school, however, a program that provides insight into what it is like to be a medical student may prove to be a better option.
When you are trying to choose the best mini-medical school, you may first want to consider programs based on the types of learning experiences they provide. While you can learn a good deal from traditional college classes, you might learn even more through a program that offers other learning opportunities. As such, you may have more interest in a program that allows you to learn in a laboratory setting as well as through observation and demonstrations than one that provides traditional classes alone. Additionally, those that incorporate facility tours, videos, and the opportunity to meet professionals in the medical field can prove to be good choices.
You can also consider mini-medical school programs based on their focus and how well you fit their student profiles. For example, if you are a college student who wants to become a doctor, you might prefer a program that is designed for students like you. Such a program may involve attending the lectures a medical student would and interacting with current medical students. You could also have the opportunity to accompany medical students and experienced physicians as they interact with and treat patients. These types of mini-medical school programs are intended to help you understand what medical school will entail and determine whether this is really the best educational pursuit for you.
If you are a college student who is interested in medical school but not ready for a rigorous mini-medical school program, the best option for you may be a program that is more relaxed. For example, some programs include lectures and laboratory learning experiences but are less intense. Through such a program, you can study subjects important for medical students and interact with senior medical school students in a more relaxed environment.
As a high school student, the best mini-medical school program may be one that takes place over the summer. These programs are often marketed as summer camps for exceptional high school juniors and seniors who are interested in medical careers. Through this type of program, you will likely learn about medical careers from licensed physicians and medical students. A mini-medical school camp may also provide enrichment classes in science courses related to the medical field.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

As a current UC student you may apply to study units at another Australian university and have them credited towards your UC degree. To apply:
- Fill in the online UC cross-institutional approval request form
- A unit outline from the external institution will be required as supporting documentation to be submitted with this.
Note: Once UC approves your cross-institutional application the Student Progress and Graduation team will enroll you in a shell unit titled 'Approved Cross-Institutional Studies' for the year and semester you have been approved for. This will be visible in your list of enrolled units in your MyUC. You are only enrolled in this shell unit once per semester, even if you are enrolled in multiple units at the host university.
- Fill in the cross-institutional application form from the host university
- Have the host university form signed and stamped by a Senior Student Centre staff member, before submitting to the host university. This can be done in person at the Student Centre in Building 1 on campus, or (if you are not studying on campus) emailed to the Student Centre.
Once you have completed your cross institutional units you need to provide a copy of your official academic transcript from the host university via email to the Student Centre. Alternatively, you may also provide this in person to the UC Student Centre in person at Building 1 on campus.
The unit/s you completed will appear as credit on your UC transcript, as the shell unit 'Approved Cross-Institutional Studies' will have its grade changed to NAS (Non-Assessed).

Eva Mendes has been open about how she prefers to spend time at home with her kids rather than attend red carpet events, but that doesn't mean the 43-year-old actress is free from mom guilt.
At the launch of her fall fashion line with New York & Company, Mendes revealed the challenge of juggling her career with her two young kids — Esmeralda, 3, and Amada, 1 — who she had with Ryan Gosling.
"Oh my God, nobody warns you about the guilt that you feel when you do work!" she told E! News at the event. "I don't know how I find balance, because I think it is like a day to day kind of struggle, you know?"
Mendes also revealed that no matter how much effort she puts into her children, she knows the mom guilt won't ever go away. "I'm all for obviously taking care of myself — that's how I can take care of them of course—but that guilt that is just kind of always there," she said. "It's like, 'Ugh, this is gonna be there forever now.'"
The mom of two's comments on guilt are so relatable considering every parent has experienced these feelings at one point or another. But while Mendes says the guilt is never-ending, parenting expert Alyson Schafer insists that parents can overcome it.
We are not slaves to our emotions. We are their masters.
"We are not slaves to our emotions. We are their masters. The aim is to take ownership of our goals, thoughts, and emotions," Schafer previously told HuffPost Canada, noting that "blocking negative self-talk and creating replacement thoughts" are the keys to achieving this.
Mendes isn't alone in feeling the guilt. Plenty of other famous moms have also opened up about how it has affected them, including Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell and Hilary Duff.
While these feelings are perfectly normal, Mendes should be sure to recognize what a great job she's doing as a mom. After all, even her partner Gosling recognizes this and has publicly praised her for it.
After winning an award for "La La Land" at the Golden Globes this year, he said: "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I've ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn't have taken all that on so I could have this experience, there would surely be somebody up here other than me."
If she hadn't have taken all that on so I could have this experience, there would surely be somebody up here other than me.
Additionally, in her interview with E! News, Mendes revealed that she lets her kids be kids. "You want to wear jammies all day? Wear jammies all day," she said about her daughters. "Like, to me, it is such a beautiful time to be a kid and not have, you know, no pressure."
If that's not a great mom, then we don't know what is!

Formula 1 evaluating changes to grid formation
Formula 1 bosses are evaluating making changes to the way the grids line up for a grand prix in the future, according to Pat Symonds.
Former Williams chief technical officer Symonds joined the team of specialists working under new F1 sporting boss Ross Brawn last year to help define F1's future direction.
Speaking at the MIA's Entertainment & Energy-Efficient Motorsport Conference, Symonds said F1 is testing out potential regulation changes in the virtual world using eSports to assess their effectiveness.
"We're keen to use virtual environments to test some of these regulations," said Symonds. "What we can do then is look at statistics.
"It gives you a chance to do things you can't otherwise simulate in an easy manner.
"I'll give you an example of something we've been thinking about this year. For a number of years, the starting grid for F1 has been a staggered formation.
"We know one of our problems is that we put the fastest car on the grid and not only do we do that but we separate them.
"It used to not be like that, there was a time when cars started two abreast, there was a time when - we've got a photo in our boardroom in London where I think it's Monza - there are four cars on the front row.
"What would happen if we did that again? It's not the sort of thing you can simulate easily. We can go to our eSports group and we can say 'look guys, let's change the grid, let's do 20 races'.
"They don't have to be 300km races. We're only interested in the first three laps. Then we see what happens. Are we going to get a much more exciting first lap or are we going to get a huge collision on corner one?
"By doing this, and looking at it statistically, we can start to understand these things. It gives us our evidence-based form of decision-making, a mantra I preach quite regularly."
Symonds cited the furore in early 2016 when the qualifying format was changed only to be changed back almost immediately following criticism from fans and those in the paddock.
"Some might remember that a couple of years ago, someone who is no longer involved in F1 decided it would be a good idea to change the qualifying procedure and at a whim that was done," he said.
"There was no simulation of it whatsoever.
"A few people with an IQ that ran into double figures did look at it and decided it was going to be a disaster and sure enough it was a disaster but nevertheless it went ahead and sure enough it was a disaster.
"How do things like that happen? We can't let happen again."

Call me crazy, but whenever I used to think of sunbutter, I always thought of a kid with a peanut allergy that couldn't enjoy the lovely world of peanut butter. I had no interest in trying sunbutter because I thought, how can anything compare to almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter? Well, I am happy to admit that I was wrong.
Sunbutter has a wonderful, rich flavor that goes exceptionally well with (toasted) oats. If you've been looking for an excuse to try sunbutter, this is the recipe for you! I'm definitely hooked.
Call them workout fuel, call them a study snack, or call them breakfast! These energy balls are perfect for people that are on the go and need an extra punch of nutrition.
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seeds + Wild Friends Sunbutter
2 tbsp of sunbutter has so much nutrition!

- 2 tbsp (20g) hemp seeds, separated (half reserved to roll the balls in afterwards)
- ⅔ (90g) cup gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- Pulse dates in a food processor until they form a paste. You'll know a paste has formed once the dates start to form a ball.*
- Pour your oats onto a baking sheet. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.** Short on time? No need to toast them, but toasted oats provide extra flavor!
- Add oats, hemp seeds and sunbutter to the food processor and pulse until combined.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands and a cookie scoop or a tablespoon. Roll each ball in more hemp seeds.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to one week or the freezer for longer.
**If you don't have a broiler, you can toast the oats in the oven at 400 F for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

A year ago, generous donors helped build a shallow well for the Kiluta Self Help Group in Kenya. Because of these gifts and our monthly donors, partners are able to visit project sites throughout the year, strengthening relationships with communities and evaluating the actual water project. These consistent visits allow us to learn vital lessons and hear amazing stories – we're excited to share this one from partners Mutheu Mutune, Joe Kioko and Titus Mbithi with you.
The community surrounding the Kiluta sand dam are noticing some exciting changes. The group members have successfully planted trees on their farms. Some of which, like papaya, have already started bearing fruits and are earning an income for the groups. Secondly, there are less school dropouts because water is available for growing crops and vegetables for consumption as well as for selling. Thirdly, no pupils skip school to engage in water collection as was the case before. Lastly, a massive amount of time is saved on the activity of water collection.
"The shallow well has provided us with water near our homes and as a result the distance has significantly reduced. We used to walk all the way to river Kikuu. Now we only a few minutes and we arrive here," says Chairlady Wayua Munyao.
Their current source of water is protected unlike the open scoop holes that they relied on before. This means they are getting clean drinking water.
Rhodah Samson, Self Help Group secretary reflects on the changes she has experienced. "Walking distance to the water points has since reduced after construction of the sand dam and shallow well. The time wasted in the process of fetching water is now utilized in other income generating activities," she says.
To ensure a sustained observation of the hygiene trainings, a WASH (hygiene and sanitation) refresher training was conducted and our field officers who are constantly in touch with the communities observe and advise top management on areas that need further improvements for implementation. We are excited to report more development from this community in the future.
The Water Project and our partners are committed to consistent monitoring of each water source. Our monitoring and evaluation program, made possible by monthly donors, allows us to visit communities up to four times a year. Read more about our program and how you can help.

We've got a fantastic offer for start-up businesses that we're sure you'll all appreciate.
We all like things for free. It's human nature to be a savvy spender, and everybody loves the feeling of getting a bargain. At Debadge Design, we take pride in the fact that we offer some of the highest quality, yet lowest cost website design and development packages available.
Unfortunately though, we've increasingly found this just isn't quite good enough for some potential clients.
Having a website in today's economy is mandatory. It really is. The power of the online shopper is undeniable, and more and more consumers are turning away from the high-street and relying on Google to find what they need.
For many start-up business owners, a website is seen as an unnecessary expense that can wait until the profits start rolling in – especially if said website has a high initial outlay. I believe a website is one of the most, if not THE most, important aspects of getting your business off the ground.
Frustrated at the fact that so many businesses are delaying (or even putting off altogether) the creation of a website, we've embarked on a new campaign to create websites for free.
We've set up a dedicated page explaining the in's-and-out's of the service, but to summarise:
- Comprehensive one-page website created on our template platform – view example here
- Inputting of your preferred text/images/colours etc
- Zero design or development cost
- Hosting, Domain Names and Website Support costs are included
- All paid for with a simple £25 monthly recurring Direct Debit
You can't say fairer than that, right? Check out our free website design page to find out more, and get started in as little as 5 minutes!

The Nelson Scout was designed to supplement the Oberth Science Vessels in their duty of exploration on the fringes of Federation held territories. Where the Oberth was adequate for scouting and exploring within areas which had previously been mapped by larger exploratory cruisers they found themselves too weak and too slow to journey alone into dangerous uncharted territories. The Nelson Scout was built from the beginning for strategic speed, being able to outrun most ships of the period with its short bursts at high warp speeds.
The Nelson does pay a price for its warp speed advantage. Nelson Scouts are only minimally armed and have weak shield generators that are not resilient to damage. Because of this fact the Nelson Scouts fell out of favor in the fleet and ceased to be used, the hulls instead mothballed or scrapped. By the 2270's, the Oberth continued on as the premier exploration ship of Starfleet, with larger dedicated explorers such as the Soyuz Scout taking up the slack.
The Nelson is very similar to the Hermes and Saladin designs, but is listed here as a separate scout design.

The Australian Taxation Office is warning customers of scammers posing as the ATO, marking the seventh ATO scam in less than a year.
The scammers are emailing people and telling them to fill in an online "tax form", features a sender address distinct from, but similar to @ato.gov.au and does not include the recipient's name.
However, it does "misleadingly" include the ATO logo, bad grammar and an active link which does not direct to an ato.gov.au address.
Additionally, the ATO said the scam email will most likely be "unexpected" to the recipient.
How to spot a scammer
The ATO said there are four "telltale signs" people can use to determine if an email is a scam.
1. Is it abusive or threatening?
The tax office said it "will not act in an abusive or offensive manner or threaten you with immediate arrest".
2. Is it demanding immediate payment?
The ATO said it will not ask customers to transfer money into accounts with BSBs that are not held with the Reserve Bank of Australia, nor will it ask for payment through "unusual methods" like gift cards or prepaid cards.
Further, it said it does not ask customers for money as a prerequisite to a refund, and will not remain on the phone with customers as they visit a bank, post office or shops to complete a payment.
3. Is it contacting you over email, social media or text?
"We won't use email, text messages or social media to ask you to: update or provide personal information, supply your TFN, credit card or bank details [or] send you downloadable files or tell you to install software," the ATO said.
However, it will use email and text messages asking customers to contact the ATO by phone to verify account changes or to provide additional information on BAS or GST enquiries, tax returns or lodged applications.
4. Is it too good to be true?
Received an offer to "unlock" your super early? Or have you been approached for investments which require quick action before the offer ends? Chances are the investment or offer is illegitimate.
"Always check the details of these schemes with your registered financial adviser or someone you trust. If something appears too good to be true, it probably is."
In December last year, $7.6 million was lost to scammers of all types – not just those posing as the ATO. Investment schemes saw victims lose the most money, $2.9 million, followed by dating and romance scams, $1.2 million and threats to life, arrest or other, $980,000.
That $7.6 million meant $89.4 million was lost to scams over 2017 as a whole, up $5.8 million on the 2016 figure.
While investment schemes caused the most harm in 2017 ($31.2 million), dating and romance schemes wreaked the most havoc in 2016 ($25.5 million).

A Boulder officer used a stun gun to shock a man last weekend after he threw a frying pan at her, police said.
Boulder police said the officer responded to a report of a disturbance around 11:45 p.m. Sunday in the 600 block of 22nd Street. A person who lived in another apartment in the same building had reported hearing a fight that went on for roughly half an hour and involved lots of yelling and banging.
When the officer arrived, she found a man sitting on a half-wall outside the building, police said. He had a frying pan of food next to him and ate food from the pan as he talked to her. The man explained to the officer that his marijuana was inside the apartment, and he needed it, police said.
The officer told the man that the residents of the apartment did not need to let him in. The man got angry, clenched his fists and yelled at the officer to get out of his face. He then raised the frying pan above his head in a threatening manner, police said.
The officer drew her Taser, and the man threw the frying pan at the officer, police said. The officer deployed her Taser and told the man to get on the ground. Police said the man complied with the officer but continued to yell and told the officer she should use the Taser again on him.
James Dobson, 39, a transient, was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

The reality star turned actress said "I do" again on Saturday in Atlanta
She's Mrs. Leakes – again!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes remarried her ex-husband Gregg Leakes at the InterContinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta on Saturday, a rep for the reality star confirms.
NeNe – who has also starred on The New Normal, Glee, Celebrity Apprentice and was recently a judge for Miss USA – and Gregg filed for divorce in 2011 after 14 years of marriage.
But after season 4 of RHOA documented NeNe's attempts at dating, the pair reunited by season 5 when Gregg spent the season attempting to rekindle the romance.
"Fifteen years. We can't just toss it. We still care for each other, right?" Gregg said in a clip from the fifth season.
The couple's road to remarriage will be documented for a spin-off, I Dream of NeNe, and will air in the fall.
In April, NeNe revealed the name of her new Bravo show writing, "Greg & I hope 2 inspire others 2 save their marriage."

- How did the Huntertones first form as a band? Who are all the members?
We formed when we met in College at Ohio State University. We played in a student ensemble together and eventually me (Jon), Dan, and Chris started writing music for the group band outside of the school setting. Members are me (Jon Lampley)-trumpet/sousaphone, Dan White (saxophones), Chris Ott (trombone/beatbox), Adam Deascentis(Bass), Josh Hill(guitar), and John Hubbell (drums). There are other guys who will sub in and out in the rhythm section, but that's the core band. -Jon
- What did each member do before this band started?
We all studied music in college and were collaborating with a lot of other musicians around Ohio while in school. Dan and I also spent a few summers performing at Disneyland with the All-American College Band, and Lampley started doing tours with the rock band O.A.R. and soul singer Allen Stone. Our guitarist Josh has been on the Columbus scene for a while and still plays with some great local bands, Bird Shack, and the Hoodoo Soul Band when not playing with HT. Our drummer John Hubbell actually first got a degree in classical bass and music history before starting drums. He's done quite of bit of engineering and mixing work in the studio as well. Adam is the youngest member, and is currently doing a music business masters degree at NYU. He also frequently works with Broadway singers and plays for musical theater showcases. As working musicians in New York we all continue to collaborate with a variety of bands/artists, I played for a touring production of Guys and Dolls for 6 months, Lampley and I have played with Ricky Martin, and Lampley has recently appeared on the Late Show with Colbert as a part of Jon Batiste and Stay Human.
- When and why did you all move to New york?
Myself, Dan, and Chris moved to Brooklyn in March of 2014. We had grown a lot individually and as a band in Columbus but we felt for our own careers and for the band to be able to gain more national exposure we needed to move to a city with more opportunity. We already had a small network of musicians and friends in NYC so after talking it over Dan, Chris, and I made the move together. John Hubbell had already been living in NY for grad school and Adam moved shortly after us to start grad school at NYU. -Jon
- Why the name Huntertones?
When the band started, Dan was writing most of the music so we went by the Dan White Sextet. As Chris and I started to write more music for the band during our first 3 albums, we decided a new name would be a more accurate reflection of the band and also allow our music to be accessible to more listeners. The name is sort of a tribute to Columbus where we formed. It comes from the house that Dan, Chris, Adam and I lived in during our time at Ohio State, which was located on Hunter Avenue. We started to build our following at this apartment by having house shows in the basement. -Jon
- Who are your biggest musical influences?
Too many to name…Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire, D'Angelo, Snarky Puppy. -Jon, Dan,Chri
- As an instrumental band it's tough as it is in this day and age in musical, how do you want to influence the world of music world with your tunes?
Being an instrumental band does present its challenges. I think our goal is just to make good music, writing things that we enjoy and that we'll think audiences will enjoy. A lot of times we're playing for crowds that have never heard us…it's fun to see how new listeners react. I think our music is accessible to a very broad audience, from fans of jazz, rock, blues, funk, soul…we're able to reach people in all of those areas. Our sound is a unique blend of many influences, I think giving people an energetic variety has been a part of our sound since the early days of the band. Although we cover a lot of genres, we've definitely developed a certain style and signature sound that makes Huntertones a unique voice. There aren't many groups where the horns are out front carrying the melody the whole time, we also take pride in our adventurous arrangements. There is still a lot of spontaneous improvisation, but we strive to create great songs that will keep the listener interested, not just verse chorus solo chorus end. One of our signature characteristics is also the ability to switch instruments, Lampley pulls out the sousaphone and I do some beatboxing. Crowds really enjoy seeing this unorthodox combo and we do some recognizable songs in creative ways. Overall we want listeners to have fun, shake their hips a little, bob their heads, and enjoy the musical journey. -Chris
- Since you are releasing an album this november, how much work and time went into creating this album?
The songs on this album were written over the course of the past two/three years so they weren't brand new for us but they are newer for listeners. We've been playing them live for a while now. We only had about 10 hours to get the majority of the album recorded so it was a pretty intense day but being familiar with the music made it a doable task. We handle everything in terms of logistics and production which makes for a lot of extra work, but in the end it feels good to have a product that is entirely your own. We're really proud of the new EP and are looking forward to getting that music out in the world! -Jon
- What message conveys the most from this album that you guys want your listeners to know about?
I think our biggest goal with this album was to try to capture as best we can the live energy of the band in the studio. We love playing music in front of people. There is definitely an energy that an audience bring that lifts us to a new level. With this new record we tried to get as close to that energy as possible, which is definitely a challenge. We're hoping that listeners feel the energy as they listen to this new EP. – Jon
This album also draws from our experiences the last few years. The music written directly reflects music we've been listening to and performing and things that have happened in our lives. -Dan
- Any advice for other instrumental band's out there?
Be creative and be versatile! In a world where most people can't latch on to music unless it has lyrics, you have to find out -of-the box ways to reach those people while remaining true to the tradition of the music that's come before. Explore all the roles of each instrument and utilize each player's talents….any instrument in the band can add melody, accompaniment, rhythmic texture, harmony, or bass lines, whether it's a guitar, a trumpet, piano etc. Also something we've learned over the years and have improved upon is how to put on a good show as performers. Audiences hear with their eyes as much as their ears, and if you're having a good time on stage that is going to rub off on the crowd and add to the overall vibe of the show. Instrumentalists tend to box themselves into their own little world, connect with the audience, talk to the people! Make them feel like they are part of the show. Of course the quality of music is number one, but being a dynamic performer is also very important. -Jon and Chris
- Individually I know you guys played with quite a few great artists. If you had a choice to pick any vocalist to sing to your band, who would be the most fitting?
Stevie Wonder. It's be a dream come true for us and I think his musical influence is in all of our writing anyway. Hoping someday somehow that gets to happen! -All
- Besides music, what else drives you guys in your daily lives?
Family, faith, friends, Ohio State Football. The overall idea of being a little bit better at something every day, whether that be music, or anything else in life. -Jon Dan Chris

Understanding the Crude Oil Market
Pricing Differentials Between Brent Crude and WTI
Marc Rich, one of the most influential and controversial commodity traders that ever lived, once referred to oil as the blood that flows through the veins of the world. Crude oil is an energy staple for most of the inhabitants of planet earth. Besides being one of the most actively traded commodities, the price of crude oil is extremely sensitive to geopolitical events.
The Two Most Popular Grades of Crude Oil
When it comes to physical oil, there are different grades The most popular traded grades are Brent North Sea Crude (commonly known as Brent Crude) and West Texas Intermediate (commonly known as WTI). Brent refers to oil that is produced in the Brent oil fields and other sites in the North Sea.
Its oil price is the benchmark for African, European, and Middle Eastern crude. The pricing mechanism for Brent dictates the value for roughly two-thirds of the world's crude oil production. Brent is what those in the industry refer to as "sweet" crude. That means it has sulfur content below 5 percent. Brent's sulfur content is 0.37 percent. The lower the sulfur content the easier and cheaper it is to refine into various products like gasoline.
Brent and WTI Uses and Trading Markets
WTI, the other major traded crude oil, is the benchmark crude for North America. WTI is actually sweeter than Brent Crude and has a sulfur content of around 0.24 percent. WTI is a better grade of crude oil for the production of gasoline while Brent oil favors the production of diesel fuels.
The NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) division of the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) lists futures contracts of WTI crude oil. Delivery for WTI crude futures occurs in Cushing, Oklahoma. Brent crude oil futures trade on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). Asian countries tend to use a mixture of Brent and WTI benchmark prices to value their crude oil.
Crude Oil Costs
Crude oil costs approximately $3 to $4 per barrel to ship from Europe to the United States on supertankers. There are differences in the costs of storing crude oil in European and North American trading hubs. In a normal market, the price difference between Brent and WTI hovers around a $2.50 to $4.00 premium for WTI versus Brent. This is due to the lower sulfur content of WTI. However, there are times when this differential favors a premium for Brent. These circumstances often occur for political reasons.
How World Events Affect Crude Oil Prices
To understand how world events can cause the spread between Brent and WTI to move dramatically for long periods it's best to go back in time. At the start of 2011, the Brent-WTI spread was close to flat. The spread widened during 2011 with Brent trading at a premium to WTI. Around the time that the Arab Spring got underway in Egypt in February of 2011, the spread widened.
Fears of a closure of the Suez Canal and a lack of available supply caused Brent crude oil to become more expensive than WTI. As tensions eased so did the spread. Then in late 2011, the Iranian government threatened to close the Straits of Hormuz through which 20 percent of the world's oil flows each day. Once again, the spread widened this time with Brent trading to over a $25 premium per barrel to WTI.
Quality and Location Affect Pricing
Brent and WTI crude have different properties (i.e., WTI has lower sulfur content). Therefore, the price differential is a quality spread. Also, the two crudes are located in different parts of the world, Brent in Europe and WTI in North America. Therefore, Brent versus WTI is also a location spread.
The nominal price of crude oil is just one factor involved in understanding the crude oil market. The spread between Brent and WTI is a perfect example of how quality and location spreads affect the structure and ultimate pricing of crude oil around the globe.
Price Fluctuations Based on Foreign Events
There can be seismic shifts in world events that affect pricing changes such as the premium for Brent dropping (which it did in 2015). That premium drop occurred for two major reasons. First, an agreement that Iran will increase the amount of Iranian crude flowing into the market on a daily basis. Since Brent is the pricing benchmark for Iranian crude, this depresses the price of Brent relative to WTI.
The other reason is that U.S. rig counts dropped at about that time. And, with expanding support for exporting U.S. crude abroad, that means less drilling in the future and less U.S. production on a daily basis. Therefore, Brent moves lower by virtue of more Iranian crude and WTI strengthens because of less U.S. production and increasing exports. This relationship is one of the key components in understanding the fundamentals of the world crude oil market.

I bring you yet another make up haul my good people. 🙂
I was fortunate to have mother get me some stuff, on her recent travels, that I had sent her . So here it is:
The Maybellines and Covergirl have a similar creamy feel and cocoa buttery smell. 'Crazy for coffee' is a very nice nude lip for a dark skin tone. The NYX is a matte formula. I'm yet to see how these lippies wear since I haven't started wearing them for full days.
Matte balms.
These matte balms are literally matte lip balm. They last a very long time without a touch up. Perfect for those days you want colour but want to feel nothing on your lips. They also have a tingling mint feel. Overall I love them. This Fuchsia one, Showy, is however soo bright for me unless I wear it with a lip liner.
Normal balms
This C.O Bigelow Mentha lip balm is the business! Apart from the tingling sensation, it really hydrates and is absorbed so well. It works like a dream. The Maybelline is lovely too.It has a sweet smell and sparkles and hydrates lips well.
What I love about these L'oreal Color Riche liners is that they glide on smoothly. They also help the lipstick not feather. In terms of colour pay-off,they're ok. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I'm also usually not usually crazy about twist-up pencils. They end so fast.
I find this Rimmel 'Scandal eyes' mascara ok. In terms of volume it doesn't deliver as much as it claims to. It didn't meet my high expectations. I mean, look at that packaging! It just makes you want to rip it open and use it… 😀 oh welll…
I'm also yet to test out these eye liners. Fingers crossed that I'll like them!
These are technically not make up but I've got nothing but love for these Maybelline Colour Show nail polishes.
As for where you can get some of these products:
Maybelline lipsticks : Nakumatt Junction/TRM or any other at the beauty section or Super Cosmetics
Maybelline nail polishes : Nakumatt Junction/TRM or any other at the beauty section
Maybelline Baby Lips : Jumia here.
Rimmel Scandal eyes mascara : I've seen various Rimmel mascaras on this Kenyan site here.
Rimmel Scandal eyes eye liner : here.
L'oreal eye liners : here.
