Mozambique admits to unsustainable debts
Mozambique has said its debt levels are unsustainable and that it must restructure repayments if the impoverished country is to receive further International Monetary Fund (IMF) aid.
The IMF and World Bank suspended aid to Mozambique in April after news surfaced that the government had hidden $1.4 billion in borrowing.
The IMF said Wednesday that it "acknowledges the Mozambican authorities' intention to engage in discussions with certain creditors with a view to restore Mozambique's debt to a sustainable path".
"IMF staff stands ready to assist the authorities in their endeavour," it added.
One of the 15 poorest countries in the world, Mozambique has been hit hard by lower commodity prices.
The country's metical currency has collapsed by 70 percent against the US dollar this year after falling 36 percent in 2015.
Public debt is forecast to reach 130 percent of GDP by the end of the year.
"Mozambique's primary objective is to resume relations with the IMF in order to stabilise the economy and restore confidence of the international community," the government said in a document released in London on Tuesday.
"IMF discussions can only resume if Mozambique (puts) debt on a sustainable path."
The government stressed that the nation's long-term prospects were strong due to its nascent gas sector.
Vast reserves of gas have been discovered in the north of the country since 2010 but exploration has been slow and gas prices have fallen in recent years.
The government said tensions with the Renamo opposition group, which waged a 16-year civil war that ended in 1992, were behind its decision to hide the debt.
Clashes between government forces and Renamo have erupted regularly this year, with key roads often closed due to the unrest.

Thomas Adam traveled to Duluth, Minnesota to compete in the US Half Marathon Championships. Adam started the race very conservatively while the rest of the field took off from the gun. Adam started catching those fading from the early hot pace around ten miles and passed 24 runners from there to the finish. Thomas finished just a few seconds off a personal best, running 1:09:11.

Temple Sinai Catering
Four months ago, Temple Sinai made a bold move. When our long-time kitchen manager, who was leasing our space, decided to move on, we took a risk and hired our own Kitchen Manager/Chef, Adam Woldman.
Adam has over 25 years' experience as a chef and caterer in New York City. He has successfully served from small to large groups with his culinary expertise.
In essence, Temple Sinai is now in the catering business. Adam is our employee. His first responsibility has been to prepare and set up our weekly wine and cheese reception prior to Friday night, Shabbat services. His efforts here have won him resounding praise from the congregation. There is a wide variety of treats to choose from, and it is all beautifully prepared and presented.
Adam has prepared a number of meals for various groups in the congregation. Included have been a Friday night dinner and a reception for Circle of Friends contributors. The meals have been tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Members of your leadership have noticed, and Adam will be providing the food for next year's Passover Seder as well as our annual Gala. Most upcoming congregational dinners will be included as well. Adam will also be contributing goodies for next year's food festival.
You may not have noticed, but Temple Sinai has one of the nicest social halls available in the Sarasota/Manatee area. This provides us with a unique opportunity to host Bar/Bat Mitzvah receptions, wedding receptions and other social gatherings. Besides generating rental income for the Temple, Adam's services will be made available as a choice for food and beverage for the event. If someone is interested in an offsite gathering, Adam can prepare the meals, deliver them and if needed provide setup and serving. Other offerings being considered are pre-ordered Shabbat and holiday dinners that can be picked up at the Temple. He is also experimenting with making bagels, which can also be preordered.
So, what are the benefits for Temple Sinai and catering? First, because Adam is our staff member, we have more flexibility in our offerings and oversight of our kitchen. We have direct supervision of the food quality and presentation. Finally, there is a distinct financial advantage. We have a very expensive kitchen to maintain. By having our own in-house person, the proceeds from each meal served helps offset our kitchen costs, pays for Adam's salary and eventually contribute surplus to help run the Temple. This is a win / win scenario.
So, what can you, our member do? Attend Temple sponsored food events. If you are having any sized gathering in your home, consider Adam's services. You'll love the food and you will be helping to financially support Temple Sinai. Just call the Temple office and ask to speak with Adam's wife, Liz, who is coordinating food and facility arrangements.
Our vision is to grow and solidify Temple Sinai in the minds of members and non-members alike, as a viable catering and banquet destination.

Many people got to enjoy Taste of North Omaha at the Hope Center for Kids over the weekend.
Sunday, more than a dozen restaurants and businesses from the North Omaha area were at Hope Skate showing off their products. Organizers hope they can put a spotlight on businesses in the area without taking away from the rest of Omaha.
"This is a positive event to showcase businesses, people that are really keeping North Omaha thriving, and the things that in the future that are gonna be better 'cause a person that's catering now eventually will have a restaurant and some people already know 'em because they've done events like this," the event's creator Malcolm Tiller said.
Next year, organizers hope to have the event in June.

I Am Sandy: Kaitlynn Stout
Kaitlynn Stout was crowned Miss Sandy at this year's pageant held Saturday, Aug. 3. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 10, 1997. She lived in Salt Lake for a couple of years before moving to Sandy, which has since been her home. Kaitlynn is the oldest of four children and has three younger brothers. Kaitlynn has had a love for music from a young age, especially for the violin. When she was 4, she had a toy that would play the sounds of the violin when you would press certain buttons. Those sounds sparked an interest in her and made her want to learn how to create those sounds herself. She has played the violin ever since. Throughout high school, Kaitlynn was heavily involved in orchestra and earned an International Baccalaureate, a program that students can prepare for during their sophomore year and then complete in their junior and senior years. Kaitlynn graduated from Hillcrest High School in 2015 and has attended Utah Valley University ever since where she has been working on a degree in Elementary Education. She hopes to graduate with a Bachelors degree and then teach kindergarten while working towards a Masters.
Throughout her childhood, one of her favorite hobbies was competing in archery challenges throughout Utah with her dad. Her dad shot long bows and she shot recurve bows. She loved sharing this interest with her father. When Kaitlynn was 15, her dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), an auto-immune disease that affects the nervous system. The diagnosis made it difficult for Kaitlynn and her dad to keep shooting bows together.
MS then became her social impact initiative of choice, a part of the Miss Sandy competition where contestants raise awareness for particular causes. Every April there is a walk in Salt Lake City to raise awareness for MS and her goal is to create the largest turnout of people for the walk that they've ever seen.
Kaitlynn is excited to be heavily involved with Sandy City and all of the events the city puts on. Make sure to say hi to her when you see her around the city and keep an eye out for her at Sandy City events. She would love to meet and get to know all of you.

This sweet yeast Easter bread, known as ''Tsoureki'' in Greek, is served on Easter Sunday, to break the fasting for Lent. Its particular taste is given by the use of Mahlepi (ground wild cherry seed kernels)
and Mastic (the sap of the Mastic tree native to the island of Chios - dried into resin 'tears'). For more on mastic see http://www.grreporter.info/en/mastic_ice_cream/11452.
Both Mahlepi and Mastic can also be found ready ground, but for the best taste pound your own to a powder*. Do not worry if you cannot find these products, or if you do not like the taste, they can be substituted by finely grated lemon or orange rind, and/or 1 tsp vanilla essence. (Ground fennel seeds, or anise seeds are also often used).
Tsoureki is traditionally made on Holy Thursday - which is also the regular egg-dying day. Its traditional look comes from it being braided (plaited), with one, or more, red-dyed**, hard-boiled eggs inserted in the braid. To avoid the red-dye staining the bread during cooking, insert ordinary raw (or hard-boiled) eggs in the braid and replace them with red-ones in the cooked, completely cooled bread.
If using dried yeast, types and strengths can vary so follow packet instructions regarding quantities.
Allow enough time to make this recipe, bearing in mind the amount of time required for the three risings. True, there are quicker methods but the traditional one produces a more authentic textured Tsoureki - and it is worth the extra effort to truly celebrate Easter, which for the Greeks is the most important time of the year.
In a medium-sized bowl, heat the 200 ml milk until just warm (between 32o C and 38o C [90o F - 100o F], if you have a cooking thermometer). Do not overheat, or it will 'kill' the yeast and the bread will not rise.
Dissolve the yeast, crumbled if fresh, in the milk. Add 60 g of the flour and mix until it forms a thickish paste, 'squashing' out any lumps. Cover the bowl with cling film (plastic wrap) and wrap it in a towel or blanket. Leave this 'starter' dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place (ideally between 27o C and 32o C [80o F - 90o F) until doubled in bulk - about 30 minutes to 1 hour (longer if in a cooler place).
The risen ''starter''
Sieve the remaining flour into a large bowl together with the salt. Add the melted butter, the mahlepi and mastic, or vanilla and/or lemon/orange rind. Add the eggs, sugar and the risen 'starter' dough and knead (easiest with a mixer dough hook) until all the ingredients are well combined (15 - 20 minutes) and the dough is soft, a bit sticky and buttery. If it is too still too sticky, you can add a little extra flour, or a little melted butter if too dry.
Transfer to a lightly-greased large bowl.
Cover the bowl with cling film, wrap it completely in a towel or blanket, and leave, as above, in a warm, draft-free place for 2 hours or longer, until risen and doubled in bulk.
Half-risen dough
Depending on the particular yeast used and the room temperature this could take up to 4 hours or more.
Fully-risen dough
Re-knead a little (preferably by hand) then divide into three equal pieces. On a sheet of baking parchment (greaseproof paper). roll the pieces into thick ''ropes''.
Pinch all 3 pieces together at one end to secure, then braid the ropes loosely to allow room for rising.
Entwine two or three red (or plain raw or hard-boiled eggs, to avoid staining as mentioned above) into the dough. Pinch the other end of the ropes together to secure the braid.
Transfer (together with the greaseproof paper, on to a baking sheet. Cover with a cloth, and leave in a warm place to rise again (about 1 - 1 ½hours) until well risen.
Lightly brush the top with the egg and milk glaze and sprinkle with the blanched, flaked almonds, pressing them in lightly.
Put the baking tray with the Tsoureki and baking parchment just below the centre of a preheated moderate oven and bake at 170o C (325o F, Gas Mark 3) for around 30 - 45 minutes until golden-brown and easy to remove from the greaseproof paper. Cover loosely with foil if over-browning. The bread should sound hollow when tapped on the base.
Do not overbake as it can quickly dry out.
Cool on a wire rack.
When completely cooled, replace the oven-baked plain eggs with red ones. It is best not to eat the oven-baked eggs, as they may not be uniformly cooked and probably over-done!
Store the Tsoureki wrapped in a towel to keep it fresh for 3 - 4 days and prevent drying out.
Kalo Pascha! Happy Easter!
* Mastic can become inherently sticky so to prevent problems when you grind or pulverize it, first freeze it for about 15 minutes then add 2 tsp of the sugar to it. Put in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin or hammer, or grind in a pestle and mortar, to obtain a powder
** If you have not bought ready-dyed red eggs and wish to make your own - and if you cannot find the packaged red dye for eggs - , here is a link to a traditional dying method using onion skins! http://greekfood.about.com/od/greekcookingtips/ht/redeggs.htm

Michael Gannon is unique among Florida authors. He was born in 1928 and passed away on April 10, 2017. He wrote many great books about Florida and other subjects.
During World War II, Gannon was a member of the American Field Service. After the war he wrote books and articles on European military topics.
He was also a war correspondent in Vietnam.
When I was a student at the University of Florida in the 1960's, Dr. Gannon was known as Father Gannon, a catholic priest.
I believe he gave up the priesthood voluntarily and with honor, but I don't know the details.
Dr. Gannon is considered by many historians and Florida lovers to be the preeminent scholar of Florida history. He is an expert scholar in the field of Spanish colonial history. He has received many awards and honors.
He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of Isabel la Católica from King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
He received his PhD. from the University of Florida, and he is still the distinguished service professor emeritus of history at the University.
He is the author or editor of nine books, making him one of the most productive of Florida authors.
Even though he is an academic, he is a hands on historian. I recently read an interview of him talking about the racial strife in St. Augustine in the 1960's.
He clearly knows the Minorcan community well, and is one of the few people around who still remembers Hoss Manucy and the Ancient City Gun Club.
His books are easy to read and read again.
I'm afraid I will overlook some of Dr. Gannon's works, but here is what I am aware of that he wrote about Florida and Florida history:
I just finished his "Forty Minutes" book and it is great. I wish it were mandatory reading in Florida public schools.
Dr. Gannon has also written several well received fiction books.
His books are available at Michael Gannon at Amazon.com
Read about his life here: Gainesville Sun.
Our Facebook page has more than 88,112 followers who love off the beaten path Florida: towns, tourist attractions, back road maps, lodging, festivals, highway maps, scenic road trips, day trips, history, culture, nostalgia, and more.

Moving House: A Guide to Council Tax Information
Moving in or out of a property doesn't have to be stressful. However, there are certain actors you need to address before the physical removals process begins. Below, we have outlined what you will have to do and who you will need to inform when you're moving into your new property, or out of your old property.
When do you Start Paying Council Tax?
The day of your move is when your council tax begins. If you're moving within the same local authority, then you can continue using your previous direct debit payment method and expect to pay the same amount.
Council Tax Moving in
Moving into a new property is, for the most part, an exciting experience. However, organisation is key to ensuring your moving day goes according to plan.
When you're moving out, it's important to inform your local council of your move as soon as possible. The quicker this is done, the quicker your council will be able to send you a bill and any payments that need to be made. There are also a few bits of information you'll need to supply so that council can track and approve your move.
These include:
- The name and address of your new address
- Your old address
- Your moving date
- Contact details (including telephone number and/or email address)
- If the property you're moving to is owned or rented
- The date of completion
- Number of adults (over 18) living in the new property
- Whether the property is furnished or unfurnished
- The start dates of your tenancy
- The name and address of the landlord or agent
In most cases, your local council will supply property occupation forms for you to complete. These will cover all of the above bullet points. For more information, contact your local council. If you don't know your local council, Gov's 'Find Your Local Council' webpage will point you in the right direction.
Council Tax Moving Out
Fortunately, there isn't too much difference in the information you'll have to provide your council with when moving out of your apartment. You will still need to let your local council know you're moving out as soon as possible so they can make the necessary adjustments to your bill. Even if you're moving to another location within the area (for example, moving from Camden, London to Peckham, London), you will still need to inform your local council.
Your council will require the following information when you move out:
- Your full name and present address
- Your moving date
- Your new address
- Contact details – telephone and email address
- Whether the property is furnished or unfurnished
- Your tenancy end date
- The name and address of the landlord or agent handling the process
- The names of any and all tenants still living in the property after you move out
Again, similar to moving into a new property, your local council should provide property occupation forms that will ask all the relevant information listed above.
How Do I Cancel my Council Tax When Moving House?
You must inform your local council as soon as you intend to move, usually a month before your move. There will be a 'change of address' page on your local council's website. All you need to do is complete this form an include the forwarding contact information for everyone else in the property who's required to pay council tax.
Informing your Council on Other Changes
If there are any obvious or important changes that you believe could affect your Council Tax, it's important you inform your local council, otherwise you may face heavy fines and penalties. Additionally, mentioning these changes could affect any discounts or exemptions you're entitled to.
The changes that you need to mention are:
- A child turning 18 (if you live with a child)
- Name changes (if you get married or divorced)
- Someone becoming, or no longer being a student
When a person is no longer entitled to be 'disregarded'. For example, when a person is disregarded, the head tenant (or person paying the council tax) may be entitled to a discount. A person may lose their 'disregarded' status if they:
- Return from prison
- No longer require care
- Returned home from care (and no longer require it)
It's important to contact your local council to let them know about such changes. They will usually supply a form that details all of this on their website.
Council Tax Discount/Exemptions
In most cases, if two or more adults 18 and over are living together, it's unlikely they will be able to claim Council Tax discounts. However, there are some mitigating circumstances where discount may be applied. Two main examples for Council Tax discount are:
- If one of the adults living in the property (two living in the property only), is a student, the head tenant (the non-student) will be entitled to a 25% discount.
- If both adults are students, a full exemption will be awarded (no Council Tax paid)
- Additionally, students and trainees do not have to pay Council Tax if they're:
- Taking a further or higher education course situated in a member state
- Courses that are at least 24 weeks of the calendar year (anything below may be classified as part-time, this can be discussed with your local council)
Proof of study will be required to apply for Council Tax exemption, such as a certificate or document from the college or university.
Other exemptions:
- Student nurses – these students do not have to pay any Council Tax.
- Apprentices – they must be paid no more than £195 a week before tax in order to be exempt from Council Tax billing.
- Trainees under 25 – if they're taking a course under the Employment & Training Act 1973, they will be exempt from paying Council Tax.
- Mental impairment – there are several mitigating circumstances for those suffering with mental impairment. For more information on exemptions for mental impairment, click here.

The evaluation of the complications of surgical and percutaneous tracheostomies in intensive care unit [Yo?un baki{dotless}m ünitesinde yapi{dotless}lan cerrahi ve perkütan trakeostomilerin komplikasyonlar yönünden de?erlendirilmesi]
MetadataShow full item record
Objective: In the last 3 years, intensive care unit patients who had under-gone percutaneous tracheostomy and surgical tracheostomy retrospectively were evaluated to determine the differences between the two methods in terms of complications. Methods: Patients who had been hospitalised in the intensive care unit in the last 3 years, with ages ranging from 18-65, who were intubated and had undergone tracheostomy were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: those with percutaneous tracheostomy and those with surgical tracheostomy. From the last 3 years, patients who had full data in the file were included in the study; the number of patients with surgical tracheostomy was 104, and the number of patients with percutaneous tracheostomy was 99. All data were obtained from patient charts, forms, and daily patient follow-up examination forms. Demographic characteristics of the patients and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) data were recorded from the patient file and haemodynamic data, blood gas values, haemoglobin values of before and 1 day after the procedure were recorded. Any additional complications were also recorded. Results: Haemoglobin values after the procedure were significantly lower than values before the initiation of procedure in the surgical tracheostomy group but not in the percutaneous tracheostomy group. In the surgical tracheostomy group, 20 of 104 patients had bleeding after the procedure; there was repetition of endotracheal intubation in 22 patients during the acute phase, and subcutaneous emphysema was observed in 18. Bleeding was recorded in patients with percutaneous tracheostomy in 5 out of 99 patients, repetition of endotracheal intubation was performed in 7, and subcutaneous emphysema was observed in 5. Conclusion: The percutaneous tracheostomy technique, in terms of postoperative complications and bleeding, gives better results than surgical tracheostomy and could be used widely as a routine method for elective tracheostomy in intensive care units. © 2013 by Turkish Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Society.

Microsoft Timeline on Android, iOS will improve cross platform browsing1 min read . Updated: 25 Apr 2018, 05:35 PM IST
Microsoft Timeline for Android and iOS will help users get back to their browser activities on Windows 10 without wasting time
Microsoft Timeline for Android and iOS will help users get back to their browser activities on Windows 10 without wasting time
Following the debacle of Windows Phone, Microsoft has turned its focus towards bringing Windows 10 closer to the Google's Android and Apple's iOS and make the process of navigating from smartphone to Windows PC a lot easier. With that in mind, Microsoft is extending support for one the highly awaited features of Windows 10, called Timeline, to Android and iOS users.
Timeline will change the way users go back to their previous activities on another PC or smartphone. It works by showing all the previous activities over the day along with the time when it was closed. This will allow users to get back to unfinished tasks and complete them on another Windows PC. It allows users to resume anything from a web browsing session on Edge browser to completing work on a Word or Excel file. Timeline for Android and iOS will only work for activities on the Edge browser, initially. The browsing sessions will be accessible for 30 days only. On iOS, users can rename and move favourites on mobile Edge browser and then find it later on the PC.
To take advantage of the feature user needs to enable the Share history feature in Settings->Privacy. To access the Timeline on Windows 10 users need to open Task view by pressing Windows logo key + Tab.
The feature is currently available only on the beta version of Edge browser on Android and iOS, while on Windows 10 it is available to users who have signed up for Insider Program and have updated to Build 17063. The feature was expected to roll out to all Windows 10 users with Spring Creators update early this month, but the rollout has been delayed due to some unknown bugs.
Continue to PC feature in Microsoft Edge browser for Android and iOS was the first step in that direction. It allows users to access their web browsing session on an Android smartphone or Apple iPhone on a Windows 10 PC. The recently released Photo companion app for Android is another tool which allows users to access photos clicked on a smartphone on the Photos app on Windows 10 by sending the photos to the PC wirelessly over the WiFi network.
Microsoft has also integrated Timeline with Cortana, allowing the personal assistant to remind users about unfinished tasks on other PC or smartphone they might want to finish.

A brochure copywriter can be an asset to your business.
In a digitally dominated world, beautiful brochures stand out. They command attention. They reflect your brand or business well.
A brochure, however, is not just about design. You need carefully written, engaging copy too. So, don't let John in the office cobble the words together on a Friday afternoon!
Brochure copywriting is a different animal to writing for the digital world. No Google. No scrolling. No fear of clicking elsewhere. Brochures hang around on desks - they look fabulous and compel interest. If you're lucky, they prompt a phone call.
Choose a brochure copywriter that's worked closely with designers – the two go hand-in-hand. One must understand the other. In fact, if you need design too, I have some very skilled associates…
Punchy headlines, sub-headings, pull-out statements, feature bullet points, engaging copy - it all makes your brochure so powerful.
How brochure copywriters (aka I) work
Your project will start with plenty of planning. Who's your target audience? What's the objective of your brochure? Do you have existing branding to align with?
The good news is, I'm a marketer too. I understand the wider commercial importance of your shiny new literature. So, we'll create something to hit the spot.
You might have old content to draw from, or it might be a fresh approach. Either way, I'll plan and craft copy that shines clarity on your message and resonates with your audience (that last point is KEY for your brochure to work).
Your company literature often goes before you. Perhaps picked up at an exhibition or mailed in the post. You need to be confident it's doing the job well. And with my involvement, it will.
Whether you need a one-page flyer or a "War and Peace" sized brochure, please get in touch. My experience can perfect your brochure copywriting and ensure it's worth the printing cost.

You've looked at your analytics numbers and can't help but notice that your audience consumes more of your content on mobile platforms.
The next logical question is: Is my site built to address a mobile audience?
And the answer to that question is often: Is your site mobile responsive?
If your property isn't geared for a mobile audience we present 10 points your company should either ask or consider:
10. When are your customers visiting your site? What's attracting them?
9. Are your customers "grazing" for content updates? If so, can you satisfy their frequency needs?
8. Yes, tablets also count as mobile, but they present different screen sizes and options. With tablet sales dropping do you need to worry about these resolutions or is a desktop model good enough for tablet? You decide.
7. Does your site contain complicated graphics or data fields that require manipulation? If so, can customers navigate and use those tools on a browser-based mobile version? Is an app a better route?
6. Don't confuse "mobile responsive" with an app. A mobile game plan must tackle the browser world first and look at the app as a complimentary version of your property.
5. If you are considering an app-first approach to mobile consider expense. Apps require build-outs, maintenance and present marketing and monetization challenges. The ever-changing world of mobile platforms means you'll have to update your app at least once a year to keep pace with evolving technology.
4. Do you have a great site icon for your property? Customers who bookmark your site to their "quick access" area are more likely to treat your site like an app.
3. How will you integrate social and commentary into a mobile environment? Is it an important component?
2. What's your ad inventory plan? A mobile-responsive version of your site triggers reviews to your tiered sponsorship packages. How is the shift to the mobile platform affecting your sponsorship deals and numbers? If you want to maintain sponsorship dollars and deliver on KPI's, put a mobile sponsor inventory plan in place.
1. Video is the cash-cow of the sponsorship world. Many sites force ads upon consumers through autostart video. However, mobile-responsive platforms require click-throughs for video starts. How will you engage your mobile customers with video?

Australian Poisonous Spiders Guide
Cities across Australia have hundreds of species of spiders and now researchers are saying that urban spiders are getting bigger and scarier. But that does not mean they all are venomous or harmful- they just seem to be evolving at a fast pace and it seems that busier and denser cities have larger spiders. For those who think that spiders live and breed only in filthy places, think again.

It's a dark winters night and our Service and Repair Manager, Ross, has just arrived home after a hard day fixing machines and doing things Service and Repair managers do. He flicks off his boots, sits down and prepares to catch up on the days goings-on in the newspaper. An article catches his attention, a piece on MP Michael Gove who highlights the lack of electrical repair shops on modern high streets. Ross cheers and jumps around as he has a Eureka moment!
Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic but Ross did have a great idea. At Janitorial Express we sell a huge number of vacuums, naturally some of which come back to us for repair. But there are an excessive number which are likely to be thrown into landfill OR get stuck in huge vacuum graveyards (otherwise known as storage rooms). According to reports in The Telegraph, each year Britons are estimated to throw away around two million tonnes of electronics waste. To change this we need to fix whats broken rather than replacing it, but repair shops are becoming increasingly scarce on our high streets. So we want to make a change.
In 2019 we are committed to reducing the amount of plastic we use and helping the environment recover from the damage that has already been done. One of our highest selling vacuums is the Numatic, or Henry as most people know him. And by recycling Henry's we can reduce the amount of plastic going to landfill and reduce energy needed to produce new Henry's.
So, we are calling all you plastic-busting, environmental-saving, eco-friendly Samaritans to raid your cleaning cupboards, storage rooms and offices to send over those tired Henry vacuums so we can give them new life!
We are now selling re-loved Henry's for £60 (usually £90) with 1 years warranty.
At the moment we can only accept Numatic/Henry vaccums.

Brave actions of Scarborough rescuers praised by local police
Police have praised the quick-thinking and bravery of two holidaymakers who helped rescue a man who fell into the sea at Scarborough.
At about 4pm on Saturday 6 July 2019, Joe Brook, 28, and Dylan Foster, 18, from Leeds, spotted a man falling into the sea from the harbour car park pier – a height of about 10 feet.
Acting quickly, Joe entered the water while Dylan watched the man in the water to guide his friend's rescue. They also managed to alert nearby beach lifeguards who also entered the water to help. Members of the RNLI on duty at the nearby lifeboat station attended to assist, working together to provide first-aid and a defibrillator until the ambulance service arrived.
The man who fell into the water, who is in his 40s, is receiving treatment at Scarborough Hospital, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
His father told police he wished to express his "largest and most sincere gratitude to everyone involved in the rescue".
Police officers who assisted at the scene also paid tribute to those involved.
PC Jonathan Dillon, of Scarborough Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "The two holidaymakers quickly raised the alarm and entered the water alongside lifeguards. Hospital staff and the man's father are in no doubt that – had it not been for their quick-thinking and selfless actions, along with further rescue assistance from the RNLI lifeboat station staff – his son would certainly not be present with the fighting chance he has today."Last modified: July 8, 2019

Section 193 of the Constitution states that, "Local government administration in The Gambia shall be based on a system of democratically elected councils with a high degree of local autonomy."
However, the Local Government Act as amended by the former regime has provisions that concentrates power in the hands of the executive and deprives local government authorities of any autonomy. Just to cite an example, section 20 of this Act gives power to the Executive to remove an elected mayor/mayoress, deputy mayor/mayoress, chairperson, deputy chairperson or councillor from office.
Under the former regime a council was like an extended arm of the central government taking directives from regional governors.
The New Gambia demands that we pursue devolution of power and ensure councils enjoy a high degree of autonomy as required by section 193 of the Constitution. Regional Governors should be government representatives in the regions coordinating the activities of the Central Government in the regions and should not wield power over the councils.
To proceed with the local government elections and inaugurate the councils without amending the Local Government Act would be like putting old wine in a new bottle.

Summer is in full swing and August is one of the most popular times for families to take some much-needed vacation. If you're traveling with a toddler this summer, however, there are some essentials you will want to make sure to carry along to ensure the trip is as meltdown and injury free as possible. From my favorite styling sunglasses to snacks that make 2-year-olds smile, these are the categories and items I'm loading into the car or my suitcase for travel with my own toddler this summer.
1. UV Eye Protection
Protecting your toddler's eyes from UV rays is important if you're spending time in the sun and something people didn't necessarily think about when I was growing up. This season I'm loving two different brands for eye protection that is stylish but still gets the job done. Sölar Baby & Toddler Sunglasses come in three colors and have a resistant and flexible frame that was designed with playful kids in mind. They are also reversible so there is no wrong way to wear them — meaning if your kid wants to flip them around they'll still fit. The polarized lens is another plus.
Another option to for keeping UV rays from damaging your little one's eyes is Giggly Goggles by DaphDaph, which wrap around the face thus adding even more protection. What I like about the goggles is they can be worn flawlessly between land and water so you don't have to worry about your little one losing his sunglasses when he swims or getting chlorine, salt water or sand in his eyes. The goggles come in a massive amount of shapes, sizes, and colors to fit every child's individual style. They can even be personalized with names or logos.
2. Entertainment
Entertainment can take a number of forms. First, pack a Play Tent like the Nidö 2 in 1 Travel & Play Tent. I love the versatility this tent provides when traveling. It can be used as an open-air play area anywhere and is simple and easy to set up thanks to a pop-up folding and unfolding system. When folded up it slides easily into its carry bag and is lightweight to haul — also the entire bag will fit right into a suitcase. Once set up the tent can be used for napping or playing and comes with a removable mat and three toys. I love it for outdoor summer adventures with my son because the tent's fabric has an anti-UV coating and also includes a canopy and retractable mesh to keep bugs out.
When it comes to entertainment, another favorite pick is by SmartGames. The company makes age-appropriate multi-level logic games that are great for exercising your toddler's brain while still being really fun. Check out Penguins Parade, Trucky 3 and Bunny Peek-a-Boo, they are some of my son's favorites this summer.
3. Travel Gear
Your little one wants to carry her own travel gear so hook her up with the Super Me Backpack from DaphDaph, which I must say is a super cool concept. This line of packs is made with capes that let your little one play up his inner superhero. They are also great distractions on long travel days or help re-direct during a meltdown. The backpacks can be personalized with your kid's own superhero name. They are also really durable and can be thrown right into the washing machine.
4. Footwear
Shoes that are comfortable, supportive and actually enjoyable to wear can be difficult to find if your child is picky about his footwear like my son. This summer we are liking the Toddlers' Newport H2 by KEEN, which as a company I also like currently because they are matching donations to California Wildlife Relief (I like buying from companies that are doing their share to help people in need). The supportive sandals are really durable as well and can be worn in and out of the water thanks to quick-drying webbing. I also like the adjustable hook-and-loop strap that lets kids put them on solo, something my son enjoys.
Keen also makes a flexible and lightweight sneaker: Toddlers' Chandler CNX that offers a little more protection than the sandal and can be worn into fall quite easily. The sneaker also gets good traction and it also as a quick-dry mesh that keeps the sneaker breathing even in hot climates.
5. Snacks & Storage
Getting your kids to eat well on the road can be a serious challenge and I find that packing a lot of snacks (and then stuff to store the snacks in) is really helpful. This way you don't have to worry about what is available on the road. For a modern take on jello without all the unhealthy ingredients check out the organic, plant-based fruit jello by Zellee. It comes in a fun squeeze pouch and is non-GMO, naturally gluten-free, vegan and less than 100 calories per pouch.
Another sweet favorite my son loves is SMASHCRISPY by SMASHMALLOW, which is basically a better-for-you rice crispy treat. It comes in three flavors (cinnamon churro, mint chocolate chip and strawberries and cream) and is nut and gluten-free.
When it comes to storing snacks on the go, check out the Dose Multipurpose Stackable Containers. Easy to pack and carry they come with three compartments that can each hold up to 4 oz and are interchangeable, combinable and of course stackable. They also have a flexible silicone grip and funnel cap for easy pouring.
And finally, there's no need to worry about breakable restaurant plates or to big silverware. Simply pack the Miäm Silicone Plate & Spoon Set. The two-piece set comes with a large plate and a flexible spoon that are both made from food-grade silicone and easy to wash and store.

Is It Time For Us To See A Sex Therapist?
This question is one that many couples are afraid to ask. While "couples counseling" may come up more frequently and more readily, sex therapy requires an additional jump. For some couples, they worry that even asking the question is admitting to more of a problem. However, understand that considering sex therapy does not need to signify a crisis. It could mean the difference between "pleasing touch" and "energizing, exciting touch."
Here are seven points to consider if you have never seen a sex therapist.
The sessions involve no touching.
Some people have the impression that a sex therapist is a sex surrogate, or that the therapist "assists" you and your partner in touching each other. This is absolutely not the case. All of the touching you will do will be on your own, outside of our session.
You will not necessarily need to reveal past indiscretions.
You may have had an extensive sexual history before meeting your current partner. Good for you! You do not need to share that detailed history, but relevant patterns potentially play an important role.
This is talk therapy at its core.
The therapy in our office is not physical therapy. It is rooted in talking. The more we can comfortably discuss our sexual desires and our current sexual interactions, the more we can understand each other. Many couples do not discuss sex much between themselves. We can help you speak more freely, more candidly, and more constructively.
Sex therapists are optimists.
We believe that you and your partner have brilliant, fulfilling, satisfying sex in your future. We are here to help you realize that future. Our job is never to assign blame or cast aspersions. Realizing there are options in our sexuality and relating means there is always hope.
Religion does not need to enter into it.
Your religious beliefs are your business, not mine. Whatever your faith instructs you to feel about sex is not part of our work together. If that is something you wish to discuss, I am happy to talk about it with you, because it may actually be related to why you are in the office. But this is a judgment free zone.
You do not need to delve into past traumas.
Millions of people in this country have experienced sexual trauma. If you would like to work with me on healing from that trauma, I am here to help. But if you would rather not talk about that history, I fully respect that decision. Anything you would like to avoid in our conversations is completely under your control. I am happy to help explain the benefits of such discussions – the choice is ultimately yours to make.
It is natural to be uncomfortable at first.
Our society can teach us that sex is not a subject to discuss, even with our sexual partners. I will never expect you to speak comfortably at first. Whatever your state of comfort is, it is perfectly fine. I can help you talk about feelings, impulses, and desires that you may not be accustomed to discussing. Do not worry about that at all.
If you are looking for an experienced Sex Therapist in the Charlotte NC and surrounding areas, please call me at (980) 224-0235, or use the contact form to send an email.

| 13.8°C Dublin
Voters in one of India's poorest states will have to choose between their desire for Goats and their fear of monkeys in the state election in Bihar.
The nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has pledged to provide a free goat – each worth around €70 – to every family living below India's official poverty line if they win the election in two of the state's districts. To fulfil the promise, they could have to buy 15 million goats.
But according to villagers in Bihar's Saharasa district they would prefer a government which tackled its 'monkey menace' in which an estimated 50,000 simians are terrorising local children and farmers.
According to villagers in Saharasa and neighbouring Simri Bakhtiyarpur constituencies, monkeys are damaging crops and attacking children guarding the fields.
"We are less interested in the free goats in this part of Bihar. Some of our leaders have raised the monkey issue in the [state] assembly, but nothing has been done about it maybe because the government saw it as too small a local issue. The voters will teach lessons to many leaders this time," Saharsa voter Ashutosh Jha told the Asian Age.

SAP Canada, a subsidiary of SAP SE (NYSE: SAP), has been named a Best Workplace in Technology and Best Workplace for Millennials in Great Place to Work's 2017 awards. The awards were determined solely by the input of employees, who provide feedback on their jobs and work environments. The company also received inaugural recognition for gender parity.
Best Workplaces in Technology, a subsidiary of the globally-recognized Great Place to Work Award, is decided by the overall Trust Index© score of technology organizations across Canada. The Trust Index score is based on employee responses to survey questions related to the frequency of great workplace behaviours, transparency of communication, degree of collaboration, quality of benefits programs, opportunities for professional development, and support for work-life balance.
To qualify for Best Workplaces for Millennials, 30% of an organization's employees must fit the millennial age demographic, and a minimum 90% positive response to the statement "I am treated fairly regardless of my age." This award is also decided by an overall Trust Index score.
Agnes Garaba, Head of HR, SAP Canada, said: "We are proud that SAP Canada continues to be recognized as a great place to work and a top employer. These most current awards were based entirely on employee feedback, giving a real weight of authenticity to the recognition. The millennial award in particular reflects the evolving culture of our workplaces and the positive experiences of young people working here."
Elsewhere, SAP Canada has been named among 17 businesses as the first to receive Parity Certification by Women in Governance, which launched the initiative in June 2017 to help businesses in Quebec and Canada increase women's representation in positions of responsibility. Businesses awarded Parity Certification have taken concrete measures for the advancement of women within their ranks.
Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and operating in the Canadian market since 1989, SAP Canada serves more than 2,300 customers and employs more than 3,200 across Canada. The company has research and development labs in Montreal, Toronto, Waterloo and Vancouver.

Collection Development
It's lightly raining in Chicago. Skies are gray, trees are still, everything is quiet but the rain. Inside and outside it's going to be a quiet day.
At the library I need to work on collection development. I order the large print, science fiction and fantasy and reference materials for my library. I spend hours reading reviews for books with titles like: A Taint in the Blood, Krymsin Nocturnes and The Darkling Fields of Arvon. It's part of the job and I do enjoy filling the shelves with books that someone, somewhere will take home, curl up with in front of the fire or in bed and happily devour. It makes me happy.
I do wish that collection development was easier. Maybe it would be if I read the genre that I order, but I don't read science fiction or fantasy and while I do occasionally pick up a reference book (see my post on my favorite reference book), most titles are not really leisurely reading.
Sometimes I get asked by new librarians, "Where do you find reviews for the books you order?" or "How do you narrow down the titles that you order for your library?". Well it's been a trial by fire really. The first thing I did when I got collection development responsibilities for the sci fi and fantasy collection was to familiarize myself with the collection by weeding it. I got reports from circulation on the titles that had NOT circulated in the past 3 years and I discarded them. Well I discarded most of them. I kept titles that were part of a series or classics (Tolkien etc). I then began to piece together incomplete series and buying works from popular authors that we didn't already have. As a series reader myself (albeit romance), there is nothing worse than wanting to read a book in a series but your library only carries book 3 of 6 but not 1,2,4,5 or 6. Frustrating!
I also turn to reviews. I read publications like Library Journal and Booklist and although I might get sick of reading hundreds of reviews it helps narrow down the titles I commit to adding to the collection. There are also multiple e-newsletters that I subscribe too. These e-newsletters from libraries around the country tell me what other libraries are adding to their collections. A subscribe to a number of e-newsletters from the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District which you can read here.
Whether you are buying for a library or supplementing your home reading collection, the resources are out there. If you have any collection development tips, I'd love to hear them.

Please call HCA Home and we can discuss what would suit your individual needs. We are happy to talk to anyone about aged care, and if we are not suitable, we will find someone who is.
A Home Care Package is funding allocated to you by the Commonwealth Government. The funding is used to help you remain living in your home.
To be eligible for home care funding you must register with the Government's 'My Aged Care'. Call HCA Home and one of our friendly consultants can help you with My Aged Care and answer all your questions about aged care.
Both home care and nursing services can be paid for privately.
CDC is an approach used by HCA Home to deliver care that gives you choice and flexibility. You choose the type of assistance you want, control the decisions relating to your life and get relevant help and information.
You can spend your funding in three areas:
The Home Care funding cannot be used as a general source of income such as buying food, paying for medicines, rent or utilities.
Absolutely. Give us a call and talk through what services you require. We will send through a funding plan showing all the costs and fees.
You will be asked to pay a daily contribution (known as a fee) towards your Home Care Package. Everyone must pay the basic daily fee and some people may have to pay the income tested care fee as well. The amount you pay will boost what you can spend on care and support for yourself.
In some circumstances you may be asked to contribute more to your care. Centrelink determine your income tested fee based on your income assessment.
Contact the Department of Health on 1800 227 475 and ask for an Aged Care Fees Income Assessment – SA456 form or download a copy from www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/forms/sa456
Call us to speak to a HCA Home coordinator and we will find the best solution for you and your circumstances. Alternatively, you can apply for financial hardship through the Department of Health – Financial Hardship Assistance form – SA462 or download a copy from https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/forms/sa462
We'll work with you to change your support plan or, if you need a higher level of care, assist you to have a reassessment with the Commonwealth Government's My Aged Care.
HCA Home have services in most Australian states – your services can move with you.
Yes. You can pay privately for any services, to top up your allocated Government funding.
Yes. People receiving help from Veteran's Home Care can also be assessed for a Home Care Package. You can receive both.
Contact us by whatever means makes you feel most comfortable. Call 1300 422 111 or email email@example.com. We value your opinion and that's why we have a dedicated team to respond to any concerns or issues you may have within 48 hours. We respect your privacy and assure your confidentiality.

Here's the answer: Immediately.
There is absolutely NO difference between bloggers, Twitterers or public relations professionals who for various reasons (cash, gifts, ego) represent a product manufacturer or service provider. And it happens every day.
Procter & Gamble does it all the time; bringing bloggers and Twitterers into its headquarters or hosting events and showering them with product samples... and more. Take this recent story from the New York Times...
"To harness the viral marketing of social media, Procter & Gamble sponsored an event last week before the BlogHer 2009 conference in Chicago to present its updated Swiffer Wet Jet cleaning mop, which will be shipped to stores around Aug. 1. The company was the title sponsor of the Swiffer SocialLuxe Lounge, billed as a pampering party. More than 500 BlogHer participants stopped by on Thursday afternoon, which offered makeovers, a blogging awards presentation and stations to recharge phones and hand-held devices."
Roche recently held a Diabetes Social Media Summit at its headquarters. The company flew about 30 bloggers into its Indianapolis headquarters for a day and a half long event. Rachel Baumgartel, a Diabetes blogger who did not make it, offered these thoughts:
"I admit it. I was invited. I chose not to go, mainly because of lack of vacation days after family obligations and BlogHer. A little part of me questioned the intentions of this pharmaceutical company and the money spent on such event. You see, I used to be an administrative assistant at a medical device manufacturer and was on a planning committee for a marketing tour for directors of nursing, purchasing managers, and other hospital administrators. I know how much money is spent on these type of events. Even with corporate cafeteria lunches, it's still a pretty penny - a pretty penny that should be used to bring down the cost of test strips."
Earlier this month, PepsiCo, parent company of the Mountain Dew soda brand, rented out a bowling alley to throw a "taste test" party for its new "Ultraviolet" diet soda. And the guest list had been amassed not for its red-carpet potential, but Twitter influence. Here, CNET reports:
"Not only do Twitter's uber-chatty twentysomethings want everyone to know exactly what they're doing at the trendiest bowling alley in Brooklyn's trendiest neighborhood, but their friends will probably listen -- they, after all, want to know what's going on.
And savvy brands have found that even if profits aren't clear-cut, they can use that Twitter buzz to keep up a loyal following -- even with a small base -- rather than to broadcast a brand's hashtag all over the Web and hope for profits."
Here's what Merriam-Webster says:
Main Entry: shill
Pronunciation: \ˈshil\
1 : to act as a shill
2 : to act as a spokesperson or promoter
Here's what Harry Chapin says:
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
