Today I have a sad blog to write for you.
Remember I told you that I may be King of the house, but that there was a dog there before me who thought she was Queen?
Her name was Gina, and if you want to know more about her history as an adopted stray from Istanbul, search the posts using her name. My woman has blogged a few times about her.
Anyway,Gina had been ailing for years, suffering from arthritis, but she was puttering along since we moved to my present home; she seemed to like it there and had some sort of renewed lust for life (not a little helped by the daily heavy dose of painkillers she got along with her morning nibbles. Bowie once ate her medicine, well...But that's another story)
Last Wednesday my woman got a panicky phone call from the young woman, that Gina had vomited all over her bed. As my woman was singing with her band at that time, she told young woman to clean it up (duh!), and that Gina must have eaten a bellyful of grass again. She used to do that from time to time, silly mutt.
I was worried though! That vomit smelled funny I tell you.
So, by the time my woman came home, Gina seemed fine, she was asleep. So we all had a nice beer, since the young man was there as well with his girlfriend, and the young man from my young woman as well. Quite the jolly party we had! Bowie and I joined in, as usual. Bowie tried to have a beer as well; I just focussed on the snacks.
Until, at almost precisely 1 am, Gina suddenly shot from her bed (quite a feat in itself, as she moved with difficulty) and pooped all over the parquet.It had a horrible smell! So they all shouted and made funny faces, and then had to clean up the mess.I chose to watch from a distance.
By that time the young man who dates the young woman admitted that he had seen Gina eat something in the bushes when he walked her that afternoon, but that he couldn't make out what it had been, as by the time he reached her she had ate it all.
So, my woman said that she hoped Gina had got it all out of her system now, and they all went to bed.
In the night, Gina woke me up by moaning, and I went to investigate. She really did smell weird! She again got up, and pooped all over the floor, in seven places in all, and by the time she had finished I got in a right state, as I could smell blood. I went up to the puddles and took a good sniff, and then decided to go wake up my woman. It was 5 am and she came down immediately (remembering that last time us cats had woken her up and the fish tank had emptied all over the floor), and when she turned on the light I saw her turn all funny and white, and she said "Oh Viggo, that's blood! It's blood!" and she ran to get her phone and phoned the night vet for advice.
He told her that she should go see her own vet straight away when his practice opened, so she woke up my young woman's lover (he's better in a crisis) and together they rolled Gina in a blanket and drove her to the vet.
There they put Gina on a stretcher and called the vet to hurry and get there, but just as he did, Gina's heart stopped.
My woman told me later that the vet had done mouth-to-mouth, and how special she thought this as she never realized that vets did that kind of stuff. Together with heart massage he got Gina's heart working again, but she was very frail, and just when they had managed to get a drip into her the heart stopped again. They gave her adrenaline and got it going yet again, but things looked pretty dire.
So they conferred, and decided that if and when her heart stopped again, they would let her go.
And that's what's happened.

Chemotherapy (also called chemo) is a traditional cancer treatment that uses chemical substances to target and kill cancer cells. Chemotherapeutic agents kill cells that grow rapidly, which is one of the main properties of cancer cells. During the course healthy fast-growing cells are affected too, as a result causing a wide range of side effects. There are more than a hundred of side effects, the most common include: Anxiety, Anemia, Appetite Loss, Fatigue, Hair Loss, Nausea and Vomiting, Nerve Problems, Pain, Sexual and Fertility Problems, Sleep Problems.
Chemotherapy is broadly defined as the use of chemical agents in medical treatment for the following situations: cancer, bone marrow diseases and immune system disorders. Chemical drugs used in Chemotherapy drugs are aggressive towards healthy cells that have property to grow much more quickly than normal. In respect to digestive system such treatment can cause serious problems to the cells wherever they are in the digestive system. That can cause undesirable side effects: mouth sores, taste change, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea and constipation, which in its turn lead to unhealthy weight loss and depression.
Studies of medical marijuana (also called Cannabis) show that it effectively relieves patients during chemotherapy course. More than that, there exist some medical evidences that marijuana have properties that slow tumor growth, thus make treatment more effective. Laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) showed that CBD may increase chemotherapy effectiveness and increase cancer cell death without harming normal cell. There are many types of cancer and drugs that are used to cure it. Which means that side effects may be different in each case; the severity and intensity are individual for each patient. Chemotherapy patients are often prescribed anti-nausea medication called antiemetic or steroids to avoid nausea and vomiting, but they do not help all patients in the same way. Patients experiencing pain and anxiety during chemotherapy find it hard to control emotions, relax and stay positive.
Appetite loss can cause malnutrition. Cannabis is a well-known natural alternative to alleviate this chemotherapy common side effect and increase food intake. Cannabis contains psychoactive cannabinoids, one of them is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol); it activates specific receptors in the human body and produce pharmacological effects, particularly in the central nervous system and the immune system. Smoking medical marijuana helps to relax mind, feel and sleep well. A lot of patients suffer from pain, this also can be avoided or lessened with Cannabis. The Office of National Drug Control Policy commissioned the Institute of Medicine (IOM) assessed the potential risks and health benefits of marijuana, and reported that the cannabinoids in cannabis relieves pain, controls vomiting and nausea, stimulates appetite. It is worth mentioning that marijuana dosage should be controlled to ensure the relief. If you are undergoing chemo or considering to, venture to use an advantage of such an affordable and natural medicine to help you to go through this in good mood and with good feelings.
Some chemotherapy side effects may become unbearable and doctor may lessen the dose or prescribe medicine to alleviate the side effect. If you decide to receive chemotherapy, you better stick to the initial dose to make therapy fully work for you. Since chemical drugs suppress immune system, the patient encounters a number of issues associated with the digestive system. The patient gets into a vicious circle: mouth sores, taste change and vomiting lead to an aversion for eating, not enough food means low energy, no energy ends with less desire to eat and thus to weight loss. Common recommendations for chemo patients are to make everything possible to eat and drink more (we are talking about a specific diet) to stay energetic, because it helps to maintain proper nutrition and recover fast. In this case the lack of appetite becomes a serious obstacle. Medical cannabis, or marijuana, has been used for centuries in that respect. It contains 480 natural components, including 66 cannabinoids, chemicals that are found only in this plant.
Our body naturally produces cannabinoids in certain amounts. There are receptors in the human body that respond to cannabinoids and regulate appetite: make us feel hungry (from within the stomach and intestinal tissue), increase food palatability (the limbic forebrain), produce energy from food (the reward center of the brain). When the body fails to naturally perform all these functions, using cannabis helps replicate these effects. Besides being an appetite stimulant, cannabis can be an antispasmodic and analgesic. In 1999 United States National Academy of Sciences and The Institute of medicine, based on their study of medical cannabis, recommended to use the benefits of cannabis to mitigate nausea, lack of appetite, pain and anxiety. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) assessed the potential risks and health benefits of marijuana, and reported that the cannabinoids in cannabis relieve pain, control vomiting and nausea, stimulate appetite. There are a lot of studies devoted to this topic in different countries. If medical marijuana can help save your life and increase its quality, it is worth using it. It will help you to alleviate unbearable effects of chemotherapy and make you feel better. Some studies state that cannabis has anti-cancer properties and can cure it. It is very important to consult a doctor before using cannabis, because the effectiveness of it depends on the dosage.

By Gilad DershovitzmonJewish media outlets reported yesterday that British MPs recommend that prevention orders of the type used for sex offenders be used to tackle Antisemitism on social media. I couldn't agree more. The time is long overdue for these essential 'anti anti' laws.Here are few of the possible benefits form the proposed legislation:· Registration – Once on the 'Antisemite Registry" - the anti Semite's neighbours and associates in the work place will be informed in order to allow the Jews enough time to flee.· Bigots United - Bigots and racists cheer up. Though you may no longer be able to bash, Israel, 'The Lobby', the Talmud and the predominance of the Holocaust, you can still celebrate your hatred towards Black, Muslims, gays, Disabled, the ill, the weak, women in general, women in particular, basically everyone and everything that isn't chosen. · Diversity - Treating Israel's enemies as sex offenders will bring to an end the continual social exclusion and out-casting of pedophiles and sex criminals in the Kingdom. From now on Britain's growing community of child molesters will be joined by some of the world's leading humanists and human right activists. This will no doubt provide an injection of diversity and humanism to the demography of British outlaws.

According to NPD research, fast-casual was the only restaurant segment to experience traffic growth in 2013. While the fast-casual segment has seen average year-over-year traffic growth of about 7% for the past three years, traffic growth for quick-service restaurants, or QSRs, has been flat over the same period. It seems that consumers are switching from QSRs to their fast-casual counterparts in view of their higher quality of food and customer service.
Notwithstanding the muted growth track record of the QSR industry, Popeyes Lousiana Kitchen (NASDAQ:PLKI) has been an outlier among its peers. It grew its revenues and earnings by three-year compound annual growth rates of 12.1% and 14.2%, respectively. What's the magic behind these numbers? Is it possible to draw insights from other restaurant operators Denny's (NASDAQ:DENN) and Einstein Noah Restaurant Group (UNKNOWN:BAGL.DL)?
Building the brand
Brands aren't built in a single day and they need constant investment to maintain their attractiveness to consumers. Started in 1972, Popeyes is a well-known American fried chicken fast-food chain which started to rebuild its iconic brand five years ago through a series of actions.
Firstly, Popeyes has made efforts to differentiate its menu. While it used to be known as a 'chicken & biscuits' company, its menu is much more diverse now with seafood like fried shrimp and other Louisiana sides. Within its core chicken menu, Popeyes also offers boneless variations and its flagship Bonafide Chicken -- marinated for at least 12 hours and hand-battered. In 2013, a limited-time offer of Chicken Waffle Tenders with Sweet Honey Maple Sauce met with a good customer response.
Secondly, Popeyes increased its brand awareness by advising its franchisees to step up their advertising efforts. Previously, Popeyes' advertising took place on a spot basis, where advertisements for its brand ran in selected geographic areas. Currently, the Popeyes brand is being advertised on television at a national level throughout the country. Based on the company's estimates, Popeyes' ad awareness increased from 14% in 2008 to 24% in 2013 as a result of these changes.
Thirdly, Popeyes worked at revamping its store image. It estimates that 80% and 90% of its North American restaurants will feature the company's new image by the end of this year and next year, respectively. Now, about 60% of its domestic restaurants have already been remodeled. Initial results have been positive, with remodeled stores recording sales 3%-4% higher than their non-remodeled counterparts.
The results speak for themselves. Among domestic chicken fast-food chains, Popeyes has significantly expanded its market share from 15.8% in 2009 to 20.8% in 2013. It has also delivered 15 consecutive quarters of positive global same-store sales growth since the second quarter of 2010.
Popeyes isn't the only restaurant operator that has seen results after making brand-building actions. Denny's, a casual-dining chain which prides itself as 'America's Diner,' recorded five consecutive quarters of negative same-store sales growth from 2010 until early 2011. Denny's reacted quickly by launching a value menu that offered food items at economical prices ranging from $2-$8 to regain market share with budget-conscious consumers. Items on the value menu included a $2 Cheese Quesadilla, $4 Chicken Wraps, a $6 French Toast Breakfast, and a $8 Fried Steak & Eggs Skillet.
Denny's also spent approximately $50-$60 million on an advertising campaign in 2011 to highlight its positioning and new value menu. The results were impressive, with Denny's experiencing a 25% increase in orders from the value menu. Since the second quarter of 2011, Denny's has managed to register positive same-store sales growth for seven quarters running.
There is hidden value in many consumer brands with the potential to be unlocked, as long as companies are willing to spend money to build and maintain their brand equities. This is evidenced by the results of the brand-building efforts that Popeyes and Denny's have undertaken.
Highly franchised business model
As of end-2013, Popeyes has 2,172 franchised restaurants and only 53 company-owned restaurants. With labor costs suffering negative effects from the Affordable Care Act and minimum wage increases, franchising represents the least capital-intensive method of store expansion. Popeyes' strong historical financial numbers validate this. For the past five years, Popeyes has remained profitable and free cash flow positive while maintaining high, consistent gross margins of between 65% and 69%.
Popeyes sets itself apart from other restaurant franchisors by focusing on being a strong partner to its franchisees. For example, it provides its franchisees with relevant software tools to enable them to track relevant operating data for labor costs, food costs, and wastage. This helps franchisees manage their profitability on a store level. Popeyes is also looking to spread its wings abroad as its franchisees started up in two new international markets, Vietnam and Chile, in 2013.
Einstein Noah, an operator and franchisor of bagel specialty restaurants, is another company which has walked down the path of asset-light growth. It has clearly stated its intention to 'accelerate unit growth primarily through franchise and license expansion', rather than adding more company-operated stores.
Between 2006 and 2013, Einstein Noah has increased its company-operated store count by a mere 6%. In contrast, its franchised and licensed store count grew by 163% from 71 stores to 187 stores. Looking ahead, it plans to add between 90 and 120 franchised and licensed stores and 15-25 company-operated stores annually.
Franchising has been an effective growth strategy for both Popeyes and Einstein Noah which has allowed them to grow in an asset-light manner, supported by recurring franchise income and strong free cash flows.
Foolish final thoughts
Athough the QSR market in general remains weak, Popeyes has proven that it is possible to outperform the industry if one has well-thought-out strategies for brand building and growth. Popeyes achieved its fifth consecutive year of same-store sales growth in 2013, and I expect this positive growth momentum to continue in the near-term.

Federal Census Information
The tremendous efforts from municipalities, Albertans, as well as individuals across Canada and abroad, in support of the recent wildfires in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) has been inspiring. As you may know, Statistics Canada (STC) has responded to these tragic events by suspending Census collection activities in Fort McMurray and surrounding areas as we develop collection strategies and procedures not just for the Census of Population, but many other important statistical surveys conducted in the area.
On June 1st, Census field collection employees began follow-up on all non-responding dwellings across the country. Here in Alberta, the non-response workload is significantly higher than was originally estimated. In our shared interests to achieve the highest standards of quality, to produce and have access to relevant, accessible, accurate and robust statistical information that will be used to make informed decisions in our communities, all while ensuring maximum value to Canadian taxpayers.

Etude House SoonJung 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm was purchased by Cosmeperks.
I have been reviewing this SoonJung collection by Etude House with utmost attention. The collection is especially for sensitive skins, to balance any skin, and to protect them, to help your blemishes, and with the right combination of products it can also be used for dry skins. So, it's basically a topic that touches us all.
The Cica balm would be, in my opinion, the thing to pay most attention to since most brands have been investing deeply in Cica care, so we have a lot to compare it to.
Cica Balm for the improvement of damaged skin with 5% Pantenocide. Slightly acidic pH formula. 92% natural ingredients.
Water, Propanediol, Panthenol, Squalane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Madecassoside, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Glyceryl Stearate, Diisostearyl Malate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Stearic Acid, Acrylates/c10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Disodium Edta, 1,2-hexanediol
Volume: 15ml (small), 40ml (regular)
How to use:
Apply on areas that need soothing effect or all over the entire face. For intensive care, apply a liberal amount.
My Skin Type: Oily T, dry U, sensitive, blemishes easily, and allergic.
Etude House SoonJung 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm Review:
The first thing to notice is the size. I have the small version, not the full one. And this small version is perfect for carrying around with me.
You can see how it fits in my hand!! My hand is average, not big nor small, so it's easy to compare. You can take this cream everywhere you go.
To open it, you have a pharmaceutical cream type of opening, so you have to grab the lid and pierce it with the other end. The only problem with these openings, which as you can see is also what happened here, because of the change in pressure there was a lot of cream that came out. I used part of it on my face, part of it on the swatch, but more than half of it was wasted! That's such a shame, really, I hate wasting products.
Here you can see the 4 steps of applying the balm: application, spreading, spreading some more, and absorption.
The balm, as all the things I've tried from this collection, has no scent. It is very dense, really like a balm (I mention this because some balms feel like creams), and it spreads really easily. It feels really light on the skin during all the steps, but mainly after absorption. If you don't put too much product then after it absorbs you won't even notice you have it on (weight wise)!
First, an explanation. On the days and spots I had no changes, I didn't register the photos. I marked the blemishes that were worrying me the most, but generally speaking you should be looking at anything that's pink.
Day 0 and Day 1 are purely for your reference, since you needed to see the starting point.
On Day 3 I started getting some blemishes, the pollution has been becoming more severe and with the weather change it's complicated to prevent this kind of skin damage. The purpose of this balm is not to protect the skin (as in block the damage from happening) but it's mainly to repair damaged skin and provide relief. And I do say, it relieves right away after I apply the cream! Left to see if it repairs the skin in the long term.
On Day 4 you can see the damage is still there but it is way less irritated, compared to the previous day. Also, since these are allergic blemishes, they itch a lot, and after applying this balm they stop itching. I added the photo of the chin because, even without visible difference, it stopped itching.
Day 15, there wasn't much of a change overall. Some blemishes disappeared, some new ones appeared. Of course, they haven't appeared because of the balm, they appeared because of the stress (same with those small pimples everywhere). But generally speaking, the balm doesn't help the blemishes as quickly as it could. It provides instant relief, and I feel that the insides of my pores don't get as irritated, but it doesn't remove the blemishes as quickly as the Innisfree Bija Cica Balm (reviewed). However, I can still see some results, and it does have the advantage of preventing the itchiness and that you can find it in portable size.
To put it short: it works slower than the Innisfree one so it doesn't heal before new damage appears. But it still heals it slowly, and it prevents itchiness.
Will I buy it again? Maybe, but as a travel balm, since it doesn't need a prescription and it soothes my allergies and blemishes. But to most polluted countries and cities (like Seoul) I would prefer something stronger. I spent a few days in Busan (south of Korea, less polluted) after I used this for these 15 days, and I waited to write the review to see if this was important (and it is)–since Busan isn't as aggressive as Seoul, the balm fixed my skin better than in Seoul. So it's my judgment that in non polluted areas this balm is enough. I just happen not to live in one.
So, traveling to Europe? Yes! Daily life in Seoul? No.

Although most of us might have aspirations to spend an entire day having our hair dyed and generally being pampered, the reality is that more often that not we just don't have the time.
Which means that whether we want an Insta-esque hair colour transformation or just to cover up those pesky greys, a home hair dye kit is usually the only option.
But, when the teenage bathroom sink Shaders & Toners plum hair dye disaster is still all too fresh, how can you get dyeing your hair at home right instead of horribly wrong?
We turned to expert colourist and founder of his eponymous home hair dye range, Josh Wood, for the tips and tricks you need to know to faux a pro hair colour at home.
How do you choose the right home dye colour for you?
I think it's always good to get a balance between warm and cool tones; so say if your skin and eye tones are quite cool, go for a warmer tone for your hair to contrast.
Alternatively, I've created an online consultation that will guide and advise the right colour for you. It will ask questions in real-time with regards to your hair and your current regime. It's completely free and available on your phone too, so you can even do it in-store!
How to dye your hair at home
1. Before you start, make sure your hair is properly brushed through so that any knots are teased away. It helps the colour distribute evenly and makes the whole process less messy.
2. Divide your dry, unwashed hair into four sections and apply generous amounts of barrier cream around your hair line to prevent staining.
TIP: If the kit you're using doesn't come with a barrier cream, try applying a light layer of vaseline around your hairline and over the tips of your ears.

3. Put the gloves on. Squeeze your colour into the activator and shake vigorously until well mixed.
4. Start at the roots and apply in rows along your scalp, working from front to back. Then, apply the remainder of the colour down your hair lengths.
5. Massage the colour in with your fingertips to ensure all hair is evenly coloured.
TIP: If you've chosen a similar shade to your current hair colour and want a more natural look, don't brush right to the very ends of your hair as these should naturally appear slightly lighter.
6. Leave on for 30 minutes (for Josh Wood Colour) or as directed on the box.
7. At the end of the developing time, use a stain removing wipe to remove any traces of colour from your skin.
8. Keep the gloves on and rinse off the colour with warm water until the water runs clear. Massage around the hairline to remove staining.
9. Finally, shampoo your hair, rinse and apply a deep conditioning colour treatment (normally provided with the kit) to lock in your colour and deep-condition your hair, then rinse off.
Does the method for dyeing your hair at home change depending on the colour you choose?
No, this is a pretty universal way to colour your hair if you're just covering roots or blending in greys.
Does the method change if you have afro textured hair?
No, the process is exactly the same. I'd always recommend locking in colour and adding hydration with a hair mask after using your permanent kit.
Does the method change if your hair is already dyed?
If you just need a root touch-up as your hair has been coloured with a similar shade in the last 8-12 weeks, and only the root regrowth is visible, or you want to protect the ends of your hair from over-treating or becoming too dark I'd suggest the following steps:
1. Start at the roots and apply in rows along your scalp, working from front to back.
2. Massage the colour in with your fingertips to ensure all hair regrowth is evenly covered.
3. Wait for 20 minutes.
4. For a freshly coloured salon finish, apply the rest of the colour to the lengths for 10 minutes before the end of the developing time.
If you have very long or thick hair, would you suggest buying two kits?
If you're just covering roots you should have more than enough to cover regrowth of up to eight weeks in one kit. If you're starting afresh or changing your colour, you may need two.
Why should you do a patch test before dyeing your hair?
You should always complete a patch test 48hrs before each application of a permanent hair colour. It's possible to develop allergies over time, and it's much better to be safe than sorry.
To do this, mix a small quantity of your chosen hair colour and colour activator together and apply this to a little patch of skin behind your ear - think 5p size.
Leave this for 48 hrs (try not to get it wet if possible) and if you have no adverse reactions, you're good to go.
How long should permanent hair dye last?
Depending on how quickly your hair grows, this can be anything between 3-10 weeks. You can always use a root concealer to cover any regrowth in-between your permanent colours.
Alternatively, you can refresh your colour with a ready-made gloss (or mix one using the Josh Wood Shade Shot and Everything Mask). It's super simple to apply and helps boost the colour.
How you can you help the colour last as long as possible post dye?
Once you've invested time and money in your colour, you should make sure your hair is in premium condition to protect your shade.
Pick The Right Shampoo And Conditioner For You
Use a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically created for your desired hair colour as different ingredients will be required for different hair colours. My shampoos and conditioners for brown hair contain turmeric and saffron to make brunettes vibrant, whereas my blonde shampoos and conditioners contain natural anti-oxidants to keep blonde hair healthy and shiny.
Hair Masks Are A Must
I'm also a big advocate of regular hair masks. These should be applied a minimum of once a week to help prevent fade and improve hair texture.
What are common hair dye mistakes to avoid?
Most people tend to over-dye their hair, particularly the ends; I think it's a way of people trying to ensure complete grey coverage. You should never apply colour to the roots and ends at the same time. Letting colour develop on the untreated hair at the roots longer than the previously treated hair will give a much more natural result – your ends should always appear slightly lighter.
Why is ammonia-free hair dye better?
I believe that the kindest the formula can be for hair, the better the result. Ammonia-free products also tend to fade less than products that contain ammonia, too.

***I received a gift copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review***
First off, if you have a weak stomach then some of the scenes in this book may make you wanna puke…. This book may be in the Fantasy genre but it so is not for the fainthearted.
C.A Sanders did not hold back when he wrote 'Song Of Simon' and oh boy, what a massive gem he wrote. I was sent this book a while back to review and I so wish I'd read it before everything else!!
When we first meet Simon, he's not the kind of guy that you'd particularly remember. By the end of the book, he's not the kind of guy that's easy to forget.
Simon becomes the target of Ray, a boy who likes to bully people. During a run in with Ray and his two friends, Simon ends up in the river and ends up in Algavar where he then finds himself being chased by some Oren. He ends up being rescued by some soldiers and from here the story really begins.
Characters: There are a multitude of characters in 'Song Of Simon'. From Simon himself to Ilyana and Teretha, the two females fighting over the Stag. From the Oren to Ratlings to the Brotherhood of Wolves. From Generals to kitchen boys. There is a big cast in this story and each prominent character really stands out in their own way.
Simon: Throughout the story he grows from a "ghost" who wishes to just blend into the background into a man who battles with his inner rage to become the hero that he is needed to be.
Lady Ilyana: A beautiful young girl who hides with her people in caverns, trying to stay out of the clutches of the Queen of Love and Beauty. A servant of the Stag, Ilyana uses gem stones (referred to as Sacred Stones) to cast her magic.
Queen Teretha: Known as the Queen of Love and Beauty, Teretha also worships the Stag. Residing in her Great Horned Tower in a place called Gil, Queen Teretha has her men hunting for Lady Ilyana who she calls the Apostate.
For me, Simon, Ilyana and Teretha are the more prominent characters with Simon being the major main character.
There are a few secondary characters who are quite prominent in their own way and for different reasons. Sir Wiktor, Jaym and General Slen being the three that I remember the most about.
Oh and there's the Old Ones. Now these guys can be friend or foe and you'd better pray they become your friend 😀 There's a Ghillie Dhu that Simon names Dash – I would LOVE to have a companion like him. You'll also meet a couple of Voden and they are majorly not happy if you upset them.
Storyline: I couldn't get enough of this book. Filled with music and magic, bloodshed and friendships, emotion and power, this story is pure Fantasy and it rocks. I don't want to give any spoilers but as you follow Simon on the path he's been forced to take, you'll see how much he changes and grows. Most will be able to relate to the feelings and emotions the poor guy goes through.
I found myself cheering, scowling, feeling slightly ill, aghast and so much more with each chapter.
Favourite Quote: "Dear Jesus, please don't let me shit myself" ~ Simon
When I read this, I laughed out loud and so hard, I nearly spilled my coffee!
Who would I recommend this to: Anyone aged 16+ who loves Fantasy.
'Song Of Simon' is easily in the Top Ten Fantasy books I have read in the past year. I got totally engrossed in it and was quite surprised at how some things turned out. There was parts that made my stomach churn and there was parts that brought a huge grin to my face. C.A Sanders' writing makes you feel like you are watching a very well made movie on a big screen, he draws you into Algavar and Gil that much with his descriptions.
My rating: There is no way I can give this book any less than 5 Shamrocks. It has the whole package and I well and truly loved it 😀Leave a comment

- Writing supplies
This kind of supply will consist of the basic needed item for daily learning program such as pencil, pen, notebook and paper. Usually, the student in daycare already bring such school supplies. However, children usually forget or lose their supplies. That is why teacher always have to prepare with abundant amount of such daycare teacher supplies.
- Craft and art supplies
Educational supplies is not only consist of what called as basic daycare teacher supplies but also the art one. In fact, children need to be assist to develop their ability in both of brain side. While learning logical will be the developmental stage of left side of the brain then art and craft project will be the type to support right side of brain development. The example of daycare teacher supplies for art and craft project are crayon, marker, glue, scissor,paper, paint, brush and other supporting material. Actually, there are many kind of teacher supplies that related with the art and craft project. We can even use any unused item to make an art or craft project. News paper, unused can and other material can be sued as valuable item without spending money on it. This is a kind of free daycare teacher supplies that we may find around us. To store all of this supplies, we need to buy some kind of basket, art aisle or container to keep it well organize.
- Student recognition supplies
Another type of daycare teacher supplies is the one that related with student recognition. The teaching supplies that have close relation with this function are sticky notes, stickers and stationery. This kind of item is important for teachers because they can simply use it to make some notes of praise when student get good mark and positive signal to the parents. This kind of daycare teacher supplies can be our method to showing our appreciation to our daycare student effort to get a good mark. To make it more interesting, we can give some stickers fro children that doing or achieve good thing to make them feel supportive and want to give more effort on it.
- Bulletin board supplies
This is one if important daycare teacher supplies to provide. This type of board is a good place where teacher can put children work of art, painting event or even for any development or curriculum changes. Usually, this kind of supplies can be simply put in the classroom and hallway.
- Organizational supplies
All of the daycare teacher supplies need to be organize. It is important so that it will not lost and we can find it easily anytime we will need it. At least, we have to try to find pocket folder and binder to make all of the paper supplies being well organized. Index cards also be useful to make all of the information will be stay organized. All of this daycare teacher supplies can be found easily in the book store or stationery store.
- Books
The last kind of daycare teacher supplies is books. Books is essential since it will needed to provide supporting material to teach. We also need to provide bookshelf in the classroom. Books actually not only important for teacher but also for the daycare student also. They can get the additional resource that they need easily by reading books. To give as many as source to expand children knowledge, we can simply buy random book types. Then we can set it into a small library so that children will get easily to access whenever they like. Do not forget to put dictionary in our daycare teacher supplies list because it is important for student as they learn to expand their language ability. Do not worry if we have limitation in budget to gain such daycare supplies. We can even get many bookstore sale event to gain our needed daycare teacher supplies.

Newly established Garware Motors brings us the South Korean Hyosung GT650R and ST7 motorcycles.. appoints Bollywood Star Arjun Rampal as brand ambassador
For most Indians (and even many journalists) any motorcycle which has a multicylinder 600(+) cc engine, looks big, has a "Fat Rear Tyre", falls under the SUPERBIKE nomenclature!! For such simpletons even Classic Cruisers of Harley Davidson would fall under the SUPERBIKE category and so does Adventure Tourers like the Ducati Multistrada.
So it wasn't very surprising when many sites/publications carried the news that on April 22'nd 2011, Garware Motors launched the Hyosung SUPERBIKES GT650 and the ST7.
GT650R (Price: Rs. 4.75 & Rs. 4.9 lakhs Ex-Showroom Delhi)
To give these sites/publications the benefit of the doubt, the GT650R phyically does looks like a big Japanese multi cylinder, high revving, 1000 cc Superbike. Even the riding position on the GT650R mimics the ergonomics of a Super Sports motorcycle.
But in reality the GT650 is a more of a Street Bike with enough power (73 Ps @ 9000 rpm) and torque (60.9 Nm @ 7500 rpm) from its V-twin engine to satisfy most bikers.. except maybe those who expect a 600 cc Super Sports, Japanese inline 4 engine type of performance.
Another problem for the GT650R and for Garware Motors is the soon expected, parallel twin cylinder, Kawasaki Ninja 650R. Which according to reviews has a smoother engine, better quality and above all a bigger brand name.
But then the price of Rs. 4.75 lakhs (ex-showroom) for the SuperSports look alike GT650R does make a strong statement for itself.
ST7 (Price: Rs. 5.69 lakhs Ex-Showroom Delhi)
The 700 cc, V-twin ST7 is a classic cruiser in the Harley Davidson mold. Priced at Rs. 5.69 lakhs the only problem for this model is that a genuine Harley Davidson model can now be bought for similar money in India. For the record, the Harley Davidson Iron 883 model has a price tag of Rs. 5.5 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi.
Moreover the v-twin cylinder, liquid cooled engine is a bit high revving (Max. Power of 58 Ps @ 8000 rpm and Max. Torque of 57 Nm @ 6000 rpm) to be an ideal lazy cruiser.
Sales target of 2000 units a year
Garware Motors has a sales target of around 2000 units in a year, which according to me is bit too optimistic. The Kawasaki Ninja 250R with its Rs. 3 lakh price tag managed to clock around 1000 units last year.
Moreover with the Kawasaki Ninja 650R just about to be launched and the Harley Davidson models already available in India at competitive prices, Garware Motors has its work cut out for them.
Bollywood Hunk Arjun Rampal is the brand ambassador..
"Pssst... Arjun, The Helmet..!!"

Chalkboard paint is an easy way to make your home décor more exciting. A few swipes of paint can personalize a so-so picture frame, organize your spices and even turn a boring wall into an artistic masterpiece. Plus, you have color-freedom! Do you prefer black or does teal tickle your fancy? The choice is yours!
Repair any damages before you start your project. Be sure your wall or surface is completely clean and free of holes or nails. A "surface" could be pretty much anything when it comes to chalkboard paint so use your imagination! Check out these unique chalkboard paint ideas to get the idea-train moving.
Use a primer. Be sure that your primer edges are neat – messy edges make painting more difficult. Allow your primer to fully dry before painting. Tip: When you think it's dry, wait another hour.
Mix your paint in a large bowl. The recipe is: 1 cup of paint + 2 tbsp. unsanded grout. Mix small batches of paint, even if you're working on a large project. Stir the thick paint often because it dries quickly.
Add several coats of chalkboard paint. For the smoothest finish, let each coat fully dry before painting the next layer. A good rule of thumb is to wait two hours between each coat. Patience is a virtue when it comes to this craft project!
You're ready to chalk it up! Now that your chalkboard is ready, it's time to decorate. We recommend using lightweight art chalk rather than the dense, school-yard type. We found this set on Amazon for $8.75. You can also find one at your local arts supply store. The lightweight chalk makes more dust, but it's also easier to erase. Your chalkboard will last longer and look nicer.

When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!
Tuna and egg bento
The bare tuna-paste bento was a great success, but with the arrival of my new bento container, I was left with some extra unused space. I decided to fill the space with easy to make and very tasty iri tamago, which is basically a Japanese kind of scrambled eggs! You can definitely use iri tamago in onigiri, or as a small side dish.
Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
Fancy tamagoyaki bento
Oh my, this one is both a looker and tastes amazingly! :-) This bento idea is based on the basic tamagoyaki recipe, so feel free to use your favorite ingredients: champignons or chanterelle mushroom, herbs, different kinds of onion, bacon bits, ham shavings etc. Go crazy! :-) It's also a very good side dish!

Family Physicians Applaud Passage Of Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Statement attributable to:
Robert Wergin, MD
American Academy of Family Physicians
"For more than a decade, elderly and disabled Americans didn't know whether they would continue to receive the medical care they needed. They couldn't count on whether they could see the physician they'd had for years. But with today's passage of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, these patients can put those worries behind them.
"The American Academy of Family Physicians applauds the Senate and the House for passing MACRA. This legislation repeals the flawed sustainable growth rate formula that plagued Medicare physician payment for more than a decade. Once signed by President Obama, this new law will ensure that physicians receive stable and appropriate compensation for the services they provide to Medicare beneficiaries. Now physicians can focus on caring for their patients, and their patients can rest assured that care will not be interrupted.
"Medicare beneficiaries comprise one out of four patients in a typical family physician's practice; for some, elderly and disabled patients constitute six out of 10 of their patients. These individuals depend on their family physicians for preventing illness, treating problems if they do arise, coordinating with other health care team members, and ensuring the right treatment from the right professional at the right time. By passing MACRA, Congress has ensured uninterrupted health access security to their elderly and disabled constituents."
Equally important, MACRA extends funding for the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Program. In doing so, the legislation continues training in community-based settings rather than in specialty focused academic hospitals. This is a crucial step toward reforming the federal GME program to include training in the settings in which family physicians practice and individuals receive most of their health care.
By funding the National Health Service Corps, MACRA maintains scholarships and loan repayments for medical students who choose primary care and provide those services to those living in underserved areas. In doing so, the legislation continues to both build the primary care physician workforce and address the needs of Americans living in areas that struggle with primary care shortages.
Editor's Note: To arrange an interview with Dr. Wergin, contact Leslie Champlin, (800) 274-2237, Ext. 5224, or email@example.com.
# # #
Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents 134,600 physicians and medical students nationwide, and it is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
Family physicians conduct approximately one in five of the total medical office visits in the United States per year – more than any other specialty. Family physicians provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and cost-effective care dedicated to improving the health of patients, families and communities. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing and personal patient-physician relationship where the family physician serves as the hub of each patient's integrated care team. More Americans depend on family physicians than on any other medical specialty.

My question would be is that some sort of reset for the 6-M2 box?

Back in February, I noted that TARP had yielded a profit for the US Treasury of $20 billion. Notwithstanding the fact that the program is now down to the "harder-to-exit" smaller banks that might not be as attractive to potential purchasers of the preferred stock that the Treasury still holds, the profit figure is now up to $23 billion. While that's a drop in an ocean of federal debt, it's nothing to sneeze at. What I said earlier, I'll say again:
Opponents of the original TARP will never admit that they might have been wrong about the need for the program to save the economy from ruin. The fact that the Treasury has already made a profit on its original TARP investments ($20 billion so far, according to the linked article) is meaningless to them. I guess they wanted to let the "creative destructive" forces of a "pure market system" work their magic on all of us, and if we ended up standing in bread lines, they'd say that was a hard lesson learned and that we're all the better for it. I don't have the energy to tell them that not only is God dead, but so is Ayn Rand.
Even if the remaining $8 billion is written off (it won't be), the program still ends up in the black. Not bad for a much-maligned "bailout."
Of course, the Treasury may have a problem getting potential investors to pay as much as they might have in future TARP stock auctions now that one bank has stiffed an investor on TARP stock dividends (paid subscription required). The fact that those dividends are noncumulative makes it risky when small banks decide that, while it was their patriotic to pay the US Treasury, it's perfectly fine not to pay investors who bought their TARP stock from the Treasury Department.
"This is a good lesson as to what risks buyers need to be aware of with small banks," said Doug Faucette, a lawyer at Locke Lord. "That's why they call it stock."
I think that's an astute observation. However, I wish that bank the best of luck if it ever finds itself in need of capital from private equity investors in the future. PE hates it when Main Street starts acting just like Wall Street.

"Fujitsu was absolutely critical to the successful design and deployment of the NetApp MetroCluster and will continue to play a key role in future developments"
Filip Goyens IT Manager, AZ Turnhout
AZ (Algemeen Ziekenhuis) Turnhout was created in 2009 by the merger of the St. Elizabeth and St. Jozef hospitals to become the principal care provider for Belgium's Turnhout region. It uses its scale to provide a full range of care to each of the 260,000 patients it treats annually. Its objective is to ensure that quality care is accessible and affordable for everyone.
Merging two hospitals into one unified organisation presents a multitude of challenges, not least how best to integrate the technical infrastructure. The priority was to bring both sites to the same networking standard, followed by implementing virtualised servers and improved storage capability.
"The first step was to modify and integrate the network environment. Once that was done, we could look at the servers and storage," explains Filip Goyens, IT Manager, AZ Turnhout. "We decided to deploy a MetroCluster to create redundancy in a failover scenario."
The hospital also encountered challenges specific to individual departments. The radiology department brought all the existing high resolution images together into one storage environment. However, the system was not ready to cope with such a volume of data and the radiologists found it was slow and ineffective, depending on which site they accessed it from.
"Merging that amount of images was a major exercise and it presented significant issues with performance," adds Goyens. "Although one campus could bring up the images within a few seconds, the other was taking over 15 seconds to perform the same task. When you are working in a time-sensitive environment such as clinical care, it is simply not good enough."
As a long-standing Fujitsu customer, the hospital asked for its advice on how to improve the system performance and optimise the storage platform.
AZ Turnhout had several meetings with Fujitsu to define its needs and identify the best solution to meet those requirements. Fujitsu then deployed a NetApp MetroCluster and the Agfa imaging platform. By changing the behaviour of the existing database, it was modified to cope more effectively with the vast amounts of data involved.
"We now have two identical NetApp FAS3240 systems – one for each site – which provides disaster recovery in the event that one fails," continues Goyens. "We didn't have the technical expertise in-house to handle this project so we relied very heavily on Fujitsu's experts. They had the experience of our organisation as well as a good knowledge of NetApp so it really was the perfect match."
In addition, Fujitsu also helped virtualise the server environment using VMware. By virtualising 95% of the server estate, Fujitsu has reduced the number of physical servers from over 140 to just 15.
The single biggest benefit for Goyens and his team in the new environment is its stability and reliability. With a virtualised data centre in each site, coupled with the NetApp MetroCluster, there is now no need for local backup and if something goes wrong at one location, the other data center can easily pick up the slack until the issue is resolved.
"If a specific server or application goes down, we can easily switch it out to the other site within minutes," comments Goyens. "Given the critical nature of the work we perform here, that could help prevent a life or death scenario occurring."
Cost was also a key consideration for the organisation and, although the Fujitsu NetApp solution was initially more expensive than alternative routes, Goyens is confident it will save money in the long term: "Compared to deploying two separate systems in each site, this represents value for money and, thanks to simplified management and a reduction in physical server numbers, it will be easier to support."
The entire solution is maintained under a Managed Services contract with Fujitsu, which performs monthly environment checks and a more thorough inspection on a quarterly basis. Should an issue arise, Fujitsu has a team on standby 24/7 and guarantees a reaction time of four hours. The ability to remotely access the system also allows Fujitsu to resolve incidents quickly and easily.
"Fujitsu provides a rapid response to any issue which gives us peace of mind. Having said that, since the new platform went live six months ago, we have yet to experience any downtime," says Goyens. "That shows just how reliable and stable the infrastructure is."
From a user perspective, the migration has been seamless with few noticing that there is actually a different solution underpinning the IT services. Only the radiologists have been aware of the changes because they can now access the images they need much more quickly.
The next step in the transition is to archive and back-up the past five years data for longer term storage on another system. This will free up space in the MetroCluster, allowing the hospital to continue to grow and offer new services.
"This solution really future proofs our organisation, giving us the confidence that we can perform to the highest levels without worrying about downtime, Fujitsu was absolutely critical to the successful design and deployment of the MetroCluster and will continue to play a key role in future developments."
Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services. Over 170,000 Fujitsu people support customers in more than 100 countries. We use our experience and the power of ICT to shape the future of society with our customers.

ROCHELLE Humes had to apologise for a second sweary gaffe in successive days during an interview with Lethal Weapon's Jordana Brewster today.
The presenter, who is standing in for regular host Lorraine Kelly, was forced to address a gaffe from Bridget Jones writer Helen Fielding yesterday and lightning struck twice just a day later.
Speaking about how she balances work life with family commitments, Jordana said: "Today Julian was a little bit p****d off, 'like why do we have to go to work again today, mommy?'"
To which Rochelle said: "Again, we've just got to apologise for the language."
While Jordana quickly added: "Oh sorry!"
The conversation returned to their children, Keesha said: "They can come with us and that's what's so exciting. For us on Lethal Weapon we have such a family environment that it feels great."
Keesha explained how her 11-year-old son doesn't want to follow in her footsteps, saying: "He wants to be a marine biologist and it's been that way since he was five. And he's so talented as an actor and a writer and an artist but that's not what he wants to do right now."
On Tuesday's Lorraine, Rochelle and Helen were discussing the leading male characters in the author's novels when Helen swore.
The writer said: "I always thought they were two halves of the perfect man, like Mark Darcy was the sensible choice and Daniel Cleaver was the sort of sexy b*****d that you couldn't resist."
Rochelle allowed her to finish her sentence before saying: "Just quickly apologise for the language and anyone offended."
To which Helen added: "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry."

I am trying to write an Minecraft Forge (1.12.2) mod. It should work like that: OnGuiOpen: If GUI title is equals to constant string value then close GUI (like ESC).

Pinot grigio is the Italian name for Pinot gris, a French grape. Although it yields a fruity, dry white wine, Pinot gris is actually a red grape, with skins ranging in color from bluish gray to brownish pink. It is an "early to market" wine, meaning that it can usually be bottled and sold within four to 12 weeks after fermentation.
Pinot grigio is the most popular imported wine in the U.S., with sales accounting for 12 percent of all imported wines. It goes well with seafood, light pasta, and cheese and cracker combinations. Soft cheese goes especially well with Pinot grigio wine – the crispness and acidity in the wine create a mouth-cleansing effect that complements soft cheeses perfectly.
History of Pinot Grigio
Pinot gris originated in the Burgundy region of France in the Middle Ages. By 1300, the vines had spread to Switzerland and were discovered growing in Germany in the 18th century.
Pinot gris was a popular wine grape in Burgundy and Champagne for several centuries; however, unreliable crops led the grape to lose favor in the 18th and 19th centuries. Germany was able to continue to produce Pinot gris thanks to the early 20th century development of a clonal variety that allowed for a more reliable crop.
Basic Properties of Pinot Grigio
Generally, Pinot grigio is a crisp, fruity dry white wine, with a delicate aroma hinting of honey, roses, nuts, orange rind and pine. Subtle differences exist in Pinot grigio from different regions: Oregon turns out a medium-bodied Pinot grigio wine with fruity aromas — usually pear, apple or melon. California versions are light-bodied and crisp with aromas of pepper and arugula. And Italian Pinot grigio is a light-bodied, crisp and acidic wine.
Color varies among different styles of Pinot grigio. For example, Italian Pinot grigio tends to have a straw-yellow color, while Pinot grigio from Oregon has a copper-pink color.
Regions Known for Growing Pinot Gris
The popularity of Pinot grigio has spread to many countries:
- Australia: Pinot gris was initially brought to Australia by James Busby, the "father" of Australian wine, in 1832. Both Pinot grigio and Pinot gris are produced in the region, with the Pinot grigio designation going toward the drier wines.
- France: Pinot gris grapes made up 13.9 percent of the vineyard surface of Alsace, France, in 2006. The cool climate and volcanic soil make the French version of the wine, also called Pinot gris, richer, spicier and fuller-bodied than other styles of Pinot grigio.
- Italy: Pinot grigio grapes are found in the Lombardy region and in Italy"s most northern wine region, Alto Adige.
- New Zealand: Grown in both the North and South Islands, Pinot gris is the fourth most planted white grape (Sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and Riesling being the first three). Fifty percent of the Pinot gris in the region comes from Canterbury and Marlborough.
- Oregon and California: Pinot grigio is relatively new to the American west coast, with the first grapes being planted in Oregon in 1966. Oregon has more than 1,797 acres of Pinot gris, while California boasts 1,620 acres. California Pinot grigio is similar in style to Italian Pinot grigio.
Popular Producers of Pinot Grigio
If you"re tasting Pinot grigio for the first time, these producers offer high quality wines at good value:
- Jacobs Creek Pinot Grigio: This contemporary wine offers honey and pear aromas with lemon and green apple flavors, with hints of floral notes and grassiness.
- Nobilissima Pinot Grigio: A slightly sweet wine with hints of white flowers, apples and pear. The grapes for this brand of wine are picked eight to ten days later than usual for the region, resulting in riper fruit.
- Voga Pinot Grigio: This fruity brand of Pinot grigio is full-bodied, with aromas of apple and pear.
- Woodbridge Pinot Grigio: Grown in California"s Central Valley, this Pinot grigio offers hints of pear, melon, lemon blossom, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Cruising the North Sea; a Squeaky Mouse
Greetings! It's a sunny & very chilly Sunday cruising north on our way to Oslo, Norway.
Our cabin situation was resolved around 6:30 pm last night and we were moved to cabin 7534 on the starboard side of the seventh deck & far away from any launderettes. The cruise is not completely sold out, which is a bit surprising considering the level of devotion Disney cruisers have for new adventures on Disney Magic. We had both complained several times to guest services all afternoon after boarding, but we finally got some action from a chief Purser (a wonderful and kind young lady from Jamaica) after I expressed extreme disappointment in how two loyal Disneyphiles had been treated.
I could not spend more than five minutes in our original assigned room 6588 due to the extremely strong smell of detergent & fabric softener (not good for asthma). Steve also noticed that the area was very noisy, with lots of people congregating in the launderette and hallway. None of the ship deck plans showed this launderette, so we had no idea that we would have this situation before we boarded. Thank goodness everything was resolved and we really like our new cabin. The Mouse is back in our good graces.
We unpacked (finally), following the rules of "happy tidy, tidy happy" that I had instituted many years years ago on one of our first cruises, making sure we put everything in its proper place (no clothes draped over chairs or tech stuff scattered about).
Dinner was at 8:30 and our rotation started in Parrot Cay, the Caribbean-themed restaurant. We have a table for four, which we shared with a couple from Toronto. Our head server is a nice young lady named Jessyca, who hails from Peru. The food was pretty good (we both had seafood risotto), but not outstanding.
We had to set our clocks forward an hour last night & we were exhausted, so it was straight to bed after dinner. During the night we had mild rolling seas develop, waking us up when the bulkheads started squeaking and banging (one consistent problem with a moving ship on a moving ocean). Hence the situation alluded to in the title above (the squeaking "Mouse").
Off to a cooking demo soon; we may kill the afternoon watching "Up" in 3D digital in the nice movie theater.
More soon!

Initiative: 'Mangroves and Sustainable Development'
As part of the Initiative on Mangroves and Sustainable Development, managed by the UNESCO Quito Office in partnership with the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS) and Conservation International - Ecuador, a video has been prepared highlighting the key reasons for this joint initiative.
Mangroves are a unique ecosystem of great ecological value offering multiple ecosystem goods and services (coastal protection against sea erosion, water purification, contribution to climate change mitigation through carbon build-up, scenic beauty, habitat and shelter for molluscs species and fish hatchery, among others). Moreover, they are the main source of economic security and food sovereignty in many communities living in the immediate environment.
Despite its vulnerability and the urgent need for conservation, this ecosystem is seriously threatened. The main dangers and threats at a regional level are changes in land use, the uncontrolled exploitation of mangrove resources, and pollution from both domestic and industrial discharge.
This initiative aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of mangroves, to value these ecosystem goods and services, to address economic issues, and to emphasize the cultural, social and spiritual aspects of mangroves.
