Everyone remembers that great Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs, hosted by Mike Rowe, in which he went around the world performing and highlighting some of the dirtiest jobs on the planet. These were the kinds of jobs that people were generally glad they didn't have to do. But yet, they were still fascinated by them, investing hours into watching 8 seasons of this show, totalling 169 episodes in what was one of Discovery's biggest hits.
There's something comforting about learning about the worst jobs that are out there. Especially since you don't have to do these jobs. There's also of course, a certain level of respect that comes from the people having to do it, as evidenced when Rowe himself would often fail to complete the tasks which he was assigned at least in part compared to the skilled workers.
The fact is that dirty jobs exist and need to be done. While we can enjoy laughing about these jobs, we should also have some serious respect for the unfortunate souls doing these jobs and take comfort in the fact that in many cases they're being paid pretty well to do it. So let's have a look at twelve of the worst jobs in the world.
12. Armpit Sniffer
You may spend hours of your day sniffing your own BO, but imagine if you had to spend that amount of time sniffing someone else's BO all day, every day. Well for some of those unfortunate people who work for deodorant companies, that's exactly their job. Someone needs to test the effectiveness of that deodorant, right? To test it they literally have employees who go around sniffing the armpits of several, um, "test pits" to evaluate the effectiveness of the pit stick. Deodorant tester Peta Jones, commenting on her job, said: "It was strange at first, but in a week it was fine." Well, okay then.
11. Crocodile Trainer
Crocodile trainers have a rough life. In the movie Joe Dirt, the job was given a kind of hilarious spin as Joe Dirt put his head into the crocodile's mouth for an audience, only to be nearly eaten by the beast. Oh, wait. That really happens. Putting your head in a crocodile's mouth for shock money is actually a thing. And they even have the audacity to call it "training." It apparently happens in Thailand all the time. Even worse, the workers are paid nearly slave wages for their work. One person attending such a show said: "One of the performers had his head crushed while locked in the jaws of a croc."
10. Target Stabilizer
Gun enthusiasts are probably well aware of the one cardinal rule of the gun range. Well, you know, except for don't point your gun at someone else. That rule is don't go out onto the range for any reason! You certainly don't want to wind up getting shot by accident. Apparently though, in some places, it's actually someone's job to stabilize a shooting target. You just have to feel bad for that poor man. Someone has to have been shot at some point doing this job. It's literally just an accident waiting to happen. Then it's going to be someone else's job to clean up.
9. Porta Potty Cleaner
Admit it. You've thought about this one before as you were using those porta potties at the state fair or wherever. Someone's job is to clean these things out. Granted, it's not the worst job in the world. They have a giant hose that they use to suck out all the crap. They then have to use a powerful high pressure hose to soak down the walls and the seat. Of course, there's a lot of spray back, so they want to be wearing a body suit. Most people apparently clean 10-60 per day on this job, each taking several minutes. It's not too bad, though, but when one tips over, that's when they must truly hate their job.
8. Crime Scene Clean-up
This one actually made news last year. As the popularity of crime dramas continues to climb, with some network announcing a new one (it seems like) nearly each week, they still lack a show about the people cleaning up these crime scenes. The body and blood doesn't just disappear by itself after all. Apparently, the job just isn't as entertaining as watching the investigators. A married couple in Florida who work together cleaning up scenes had just one thing to say about cleaning up a murder scene in a hot caravan: "There are some things you can't just Febreze." That's all you need to know.
7. Fart Smell Judge
Actually called a "flatus odor judge," these people have the distinct honor of getting to smell lots of farts. Just imagine doing this for a job. This was apparently for a research project, which had 2 unfortunate judges attached to it. Sixteen subjects would eat pinto beans and insert plastic collection tubes into their rectum. Every time they farted, the gas would be trapped in a container. The odor judges had to then sit and smell over 100 samples, one at a time, by inhaling the smelly contents. Their job was to rate just how disgusting the smell was. We bet it was pretty disgusting.
6. Professional Mosquito Bite Victim
In order to combat malaria, scientists in Brazil offer themselves as bait to the little vampiric insects. In the evening, when the mosquitoes come out to play, researchers find nice bug-infested areas to hang out in and get themselves bitten. They set up inside tents that trap the mosquito within, where they feast upon the poor scientists. When the mosquitoes attack, they take the opportunity to capture them, sometimes catching up to a ridiculous 500 mosquitoes in just 3 hours. Of course, this also amassed a total of 3,000 bites. Something like this just can't be healthy. Let's hope at least they got their malaria shots.
5. Animal Manure Collector and Inspector
As you may know, manure is very important to farmers. It's often used as a natural fertilizer to help crops grow throughout the world. It's also why farms are often associated with that familiar but terrible smell. But did you know that manure actually has standards? It has to be inspected by someone before it can be sold off as fertilizer. Contaminants like E. coli and salmonella are a serious risk, especially if they make it into the crops they're fertilizing, and so the manure must be tested first. Their job is to sift through tons of manure to collect samples that are then used in a lab to test for the nasty bacteria.
4. Cat Food Quality Tester
They say some people love their cats more than they love other people, right? Because of that, cat food has to be tested for the quality by humans. It seems like a lot more work than one might imagine, too. It's not just taste testing some fishy food. It couldn't be that easy. One particular job in England requires burying your face in tubs of cat food to sniff for freshness. They also have to sift through by hand to check for bony bits, which seems a bit unsanitary. Let's hope they wear gloves. They also have to smear it on a flat surface and poke it to test for gristle. On top of that, they must also taste it. One worker in the US chews gum frequently to avoid dog breath. He also refuses to swallow the nasty stuff.
3. Oil Rig Personnel
Oil rig personnel have it pretty rough indeed. It is a ridiculously dangerous job with an almost uncountable number of hazards fighting against you at any given time. The job is always performed far from civilization, on an oil rig of course, and usually demands 12 hour shifts with hazardous oil raining down around you the whole time. Oh, and don't light a cigarette. What's worse is that if there is some kind of accident, they're so far offshore often it's difficult to get timely medical care. The pay for the job is not too stellar either, given the risks.
2. Coal Miner
Coal miners have what is often ranked among the most dangerous jobs in the world. Coal miners work the whole day in extremely narrow spaces deep in tunnels that are often incredibly hot and humid. Coal dust is of course quite dirty, but it's also quite harmful to the lungs, and breathing it in constantly is terrible for your health. Not to mention the risk of tunnel collapse, which is a constant threat that seeks to bury them under rock forever. But that's not all! Miners also suffer hearing loss from the loud instruments used to mine the coal. Around 30 miners die per year in the US alone. We have come a long way, though. Before the 1990s, over 1,500 miners died per year.
1. Sewer Diver
In some countries without a fully-developed sewer system, sewer divers can be one of the most disgusting jobs imaginable. In places like Mexico City, where the sewers aren't as advanced as ours, people have to swim through sewage in order to clear blockages and repair pipes by hand. It's absolutely disgusting that they have to wade through sewage just to do that. They often have to wear helmets and body suits for protection. In India, it seems even worse. They sit low at the bottom of a manhole in nothing but their underwear and use a bucket to scoop feces out to be dumped in the middle of the street.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published 13 November 2019 a Consultation Paper on the draft amended Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on passport notification. The review of the two Regulations aims at improving the quality and consistency of information to be provided by a credit institution notifying its home competent authorities when it intends to open a branch or provide services in another Member State, as well as the communication between home and host authorities.
The proposed amendments focus on the quality and clarity of the information to be provided by the credit institutions to their home competent authorities in the passport notification, as well as to the communication between home and host authorities. In particular, material changes include the indication of the date of the intended start of each activity for which the passport notification is submitted; the assumptions underpinning the financial forecasts; the provision of a statement by an external auditor, in case of a planned termination of a branch, that the credit institution no longer holds deposits nor repayable funds from the public through the branch.
The deadline for the submission of comments via EBA website is 13 February 2020. A public hearing on this consultation will take place at the EBA premises on 21 January 2020.
Information and documentation relating to the public consultation and hearing is available on the EBA website.

Thank you to all who welcomed our Indonesian visitors!
The SND National Education office welcomed Sr. Maria Kharita, SND, Sr. Maria Eufrasia, SND, and Mr. Sigit Setyawan from Indonesia on March 23 – April 11. They visited the U.S. in hopes of achieving three goals: gain insight into how the SND Charism is manifested in everyday school life; learn how to apply successful management techniques to schools in Indonesia; and build networks and explore school connections.
They thoroughly enjoyed meeting with administrators, faculty and students at SND sponsored schools in Ohio, Kentucky and California and feel very grateful to have had this experience. They also enjoyed a little fun – attending their first baseball game, visiting Niagara Falls and walking around Hollywood just to name a few.
Our office wants to thank all of our schools and provinces for being such welcoming and gracious hosts! Here are a few of the MANY photos taken during their visit!

What I don't get are the women worrying because they picked up their toddler before they remembered that someone on the internet told them they shouldn't life more than 20lbs. Toddlers don't stop needing to be held just because you are pregnant and throughout history women have been having more children as soon as their monthly cycle returns during or after weaning their toddler. I don't get the women who are worried because a pot boiled over on the stove and the burner started smoking and they might have breathed some smoke in. It wasn't that long ago that all cooking was done over some sort of fire and in many places it still is. These women continue to have healthy children as long as they can get enough good food themselves. I don't get worrying because you might have to buy some of your child's clothing second hand, honestly a lot of clothing I find at consignment stores and sales is cuter than what I find new. I don't get worrying about stocking up on diapers when you are 2 months pregnant, if money is that much of a concern use cloth or save the money you would spend on diapers now to spend once your baby is here and you know what works for them. I don't get worrying because the ultrasound picture they printed off looks a little strange to you, even though your doctor and the tech said everything is fine. I just don't get it...
I know more deeply than I'd like that stuff can go wrong. I know that losses happen, that babies are born early, that sometimes they aren't perfect. However, I also know that it is very rare that there is any action on my part that can change that. I know that all the bed rest and prayer in the world cannot save a pregnancy doomed to miscarriage. I know that even at 37 weeks a baby can be born still (thankfully I have not had to deal with this one personally, but I have watched a friend go through it). I know that sometimes even the healthiest pregnancy and the most promising labor can end with a seemingly sudden c-section. I know that even a healthy baby can get very sick. I also know that the stuff I worry about probably isn't going to be the thing that goes wrong. Some worry is a good thing. When A. was tiny I was worried that she wasn't gaining weight as well as she should, that worry was justified and thankfully I eventually found doctors who could help me get her back on track. Some worry can help you prepare mentally for the idea that stuff may not go perfectly. But since when has any part of life gone perfectly? I don't know anyone with a "perfect" life once you get below the surface. If you do I'd love to meet them. I do know a ton of families that have happily imperfect lives and love each other and the world right through the hard times.
In the end I feel like we have to let go and have faith that we will be able to handle whatever happens. Sometimes this is really hard. Sometimes talking, praying and meditation are the only things that can get us through when life gets overwhelming. Sometimes even those may not seem to be enough, but if you keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing your best to get through whatever it is you will reach the other end (wherever that end may be). I understand how pregnancy and motherhood bring out the worry. I worry every day that I might not be doing the best for A, for this little one, for my family. But if I spend too much time worrying I won't have time to do my best for them. And in the end, that's all that really matters. As Anne in Anne of Green Gables used to say "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet."

You mentioned toddlers, so I guess this isn't all first time mamas, but I know that when I was pregnant with Cecilia, I worried about everything. I was so worried about something going wrong. I had been waiting a long, tong time to have a baby and I was just scared to jeopardize her in any way.ReplyDelete
I had to wait a long time too and coming after a loss I definitely had a certain level of background worry. Every time I heard the heartbeat or had a good ultrasound and later every kick and movement made life so much better. I honestly didn't care if A was kicking me in the stomach 2 minutes after I ate a big meal because it meant that she was okay in there (though I would complain for the sake of complaining). As I said, some worry is normal, healthy and even helpful. This pregnancy I know more than I did about what is and is not normal than I did with A, which is really nice, but that doesn't stop the worry totally. What bothers me is the idea that pregnant women are somehow supposed to worry about everything. That everything could be harmful. The saddest thing is to see the threads about women worrying that they will harm their unborn child because they are worrying too much...Pregnancy is a magical time that you get to share with your baby, it saddens me that the worry is dimming that joy for so many. It also reminds me of how worried I was of getting it "wrong" when A was little. I had no clue what I was doing and all the "experts" tended to just give warnings of what not to do and many of these warnings conflicted. Thank goodness for the midwives and nurses I dealt with when A. was born, for Centering and for Mom/Baby which gave me the help and courage I needed to be a good mom. Now, looking back, the mentality that leads to this makes me sad. Why can't we tell women that they should be healthy and ask their doctor/midwife if they are worried about something? Why can't we trust our moms, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and friends to help us learn to parent?ReplyDelete

Quick note due to crazy schedule...
Here's how the Iranian News Agency is reporting the mini-Hitler's speech at Columbia University...
Despite entire US media objections, negative propagation and hue and cry in recent days over IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scheduled address at Colombia University, he gave his lecture and answered students questions here on Monday afternoon.
On second day of his entry in New York, and amid standing ovation of the audience that had attended the hall where the Iranian President was to give his lecture as of early hours of the day, Ahmadinejad said that Iran is not going to attack any country in the world.
Before President Ahamadinejad's address, Colombia University Chancellor in a brief address told the audience that they would have the chance to hear Iran's stands as the Iranian President would put them forth.
He said that the Iranians are a peace loving nation, they hate war, and all types of aggression.
Referring to the technological achievements of the Iranian nation in the course of recent years, the president considered them as a sign for the Iranians' resolute will for achieving sustainable development and rapid advancement.
The audience on repeated occasion applauded Ahmadinejad when he touched on international crises.
At the end of his address President Ahmadinejad answered the students' questions on such issues as Israel, Palestine, Iran's nuclear program, the status of women in Iran and a number of other matters.
Congratulations Columbia University - you are responsible for contributing to the propaganda. THIS is how the people of Iran that are against the mini-Hitler's murderous regime see the American people. I'm sure they will keep this in mind whenever the desire for freedom from tyranny overwhelms them - remembering the reported standing ovations for the leader of a terrorist supporting nation. Nothing quenches the fight for liberty like the perception of no support.

For safety, there are songs on which political yard signs can be installed. The place where they should never set up the "right way" any street, road or highway in Georgia. It really is a misdemeanor to place yard signs of any kind (political, real estate, yard sales, or otherwise) of the actual right way -. Especially the ways state and interstates
the right way is defined as the state of Georgia and "strip of land where facilities like highways, railroads or power lines are built and maintained." When GDOT workers remove signs that they are destroyed. If you do not want to miss your mark, then do not put them on the right path.
So what is the best place to put a yard sign? Their name is the best evidence, put them on the edge of the park in a business or home. It can only be five feet from the road, but as long as they are on private property and not the right way they will not be removed by GDOT. Be smart and polite with icons. Do not block your view driver and create irritation. You want recognition, not annoyance. After you place your mark, get in the car and drive by to see what the effect is, then make changes if you need to.
Mel Kahn, a political scientist, says that cheap lawn signs actually assist a political candidate to build awareness. He says that each label set represents from six to 10 vote on the candidates. Featured in the Wall Street Journal suggests that lawn signs can be viewed by as many as 25,000 drivers a day, depending on the road. They are very low cost form of effective advertising.
Even the roads are less traveled revealed your name, product or function to hundreds of drivers every day. Drivers will actually look at the label every time they do it and it is repetition that makes unconsciously influence people. Just like the TV ads that run repeatedly on the agenda, lawn signs will be watched by the same drivers many times, until they begin to recognize and remember you. A professional looking labels garners much more credibility and respect than hand written signs and it goes without saying that they are easier to read.
Coro Plastic is made from two smooth plastic sheets sandwich of fluted plastic corrugated sheet, just as paper cardboard. Being plastic, however, they are much sturdier and will withstand much stronger winds and weather have much less to bend and break the paper cardboard.
In addition to low-cost signal your garden, you must buy the metal "step stakes" to set them up. This, too, is very cheap and the more you buy the cheaper they get. A step item looks like a small ladder and uprights simply slides up between fluted bore the sign to hold it steady, upright, and directly. You do not need nails, screws, or even tape to attach the sign at stake. The cross bar, or "step," but your signal flow to the ground.
Corrugated plastic yard signs are simple to install, easy to take down, and can be stored in a small space. Twin walled surface can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, and can also withstand oils and solvents. With this small yard signs, you are making yourself familiar to a lot of people without much effort or expense.

I recently graduated from the University of South Florida School of Business, which is ranked number ten in the United States based on a recent survey. This education was my quest to find validation for my thoughts and principles in life inherited from my father after spending my adolescent years in India. The degree I attained carries a huge meaning for me both professionally and personally.
My favorite subject in this program was Social Entrepreneurship. It is a part of the degree program called "Masters of Applied Science in Entrepreneurship." This degree equates to having a combined degree in Business, Entrepreneurship, and Science. Along with my inherited learning in social entrepreneurship from India, this makes me a perfect candidate to become someone who creates radical solutions to change the world in a positive manner, or to become a part of the team that reaches this goal.
I also attended an Executive Education program at Harvard this year after realizing that my degree from India, along with my class standing, might render me ineligible for admission into Harvard as a full-time student. Using some of my hard-earned money to attend a short executive program at the school seemed to be the best solution. Harvard provides this type of program to help fund their programs for full-time students, along with using it to fund scholarships that will allow certain recipients to attend the university for free. I consider this a donation to contribute to their education system, and a perfect way of repaying my debt to The United States of America.
I'm not sure how I suddenly developed such a passion for furthering my education in the past year, but it resulted in a lot of fun times! I realized that there were two main factors that contributed to my motivation. The first was a desire to keep myself amongst younger, career-minded people. Secondly, I had a great desire to create a network of friends. This is something I could not have developed by sitting at my home performing the daily household chores, shopping, or even working as management in a mundane office setting.
The main focus of furthering my education was to enhance my knowledge in an effort to find the solution for creating a better world. I could see a clear vision through this particular course on Social Entrepreneurship. This vision is a result of the information I gathered in the course, and led me to the system I began developing. This system addresses the way non-profit endeavors should be run in order to achieve long-lasting success.
We formed a foundation in India last year with the intent of finding a solution to some of the social problems which exist here. We focused on a small place called Jaipur Rajasthan. I visited several non-profit organizations in the past two years during my visit to India and found that the main challenge for each organization was to raise funding for their various projects. On the other hand, I have several friends in corporations who have voiced complaints about not being able to find organizations who are qualified enough to receive their funding.
So what's the disconnect here? I asked them about the criteria for non-profit organizations receiving their funding, and the answer was simple. They must have two government certificates that include a few pages of a corporate report detailing their mission. I know for a fact that these organizations are working very diligently in locations where it is impossible for these large funding corporations to enter. The high-flying corporate social responsibility (CSR) leaders can't even travel there, and are even less likely to live under the bleak circumstances where these volunteers are living and working, day and night, in order to complete their mission.
Here is the disconnect; most CSR funding goes to those over- glorified agencies or organizations who know how to propagate their mission work in the eyes of those corporations providing the funding. It all boils down to one thing, and that is extremely extensive marketing.
This is the reason every charitable organization globally needs a professionally structured social mission, along with a business strategy targeted to execute that plan. You may call this a professional program toward social entrepreneurship, but for me its a vision toward eliminating the surprise factor from the lives of common citizens by engaging them in social change through education and training. We have spent countless hours in the past ten years of our operations in India trying to figure out a way that every individual who comes to work for our organization can have the foundation of fundamental skillsets that are necessary to be further trained on our processes. This is very difficult, especially considering the massive rise in the amount of illegitimate Engineering and MBA colleges.
Degrees are being distributed like groceries, where for the right price you can go buy any type of hybrid degree from the market. The fundamental reason for the lack of quality in the Indian institutions is a total absence of a system for compliance and audits. Many of the leaders don't feel comfortable in being accountable or transparent to the system. This is just one area where a structured course on social entrepreneurship can be of great help and can provide a massive scope of change.
What we need is honest feedback collection from the students. We need complete freedom of expression at institutions and workplaces alike, along with any other areas where social opportunities exist to the masses. We must achieve honesty and transparency in all areas of society.
I think every MBA college or engineering college in India should require this fundamental course on social entrepreneurship before anyone can start a foundation or charitable organization.
The picture above shows my visit to an orphanage center in Jaipur, where we are trying to help raise funding. Unfortunately, all the administration seems to be focused on is attaining more funding from myself or using my resources whereas I am insisting that they use some of their funds to create a self-sustainable process that won't require continuous requests for charity in order to achieve the necessary operational funding. With the proper education and training, this self-sufficiency can realistically be attained.
I truly believe that today's entrepreneurs and CSR Leaders need to encourage and help these organizations transition into much more of a self-sustaining enterprise.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Turns out, creative videos can be used for more than entertaining your friends on YouTube.
In this week's episode I'm learning about the world of 'comping' – that is, the world of online competitions where winning cool shit is as simple as submitting a 60 second video.
And to share his secrets with us is creative 'comper' Jimmy Dalgleish.
Jimmy started entering online competitions in 2011 as a side hobby and has since won close to $50,000 in cash and prizes – the most notable win was the Acer Team Unlimited Challenge where he won a $25,000 cash prize. Pretty damn cool!
And how does he do it? Through making simple but creative videos.
I was excited to talk to Jimmy because I'm a massive fan of video – I believe it's one of the best ways to stand out and get noticed, and Jimmy has proven again and again that it works. In fact, he's recently launched a resource at EnterComps to help others greatly increase their chances at winning competitions too – 'cos there's nothing like that winning feeling!
Even if you're not planning on entering competitions, this conversation is worth a listen, as you can apply the tips Jimmy shares to other situations where a video will help you stand out, whether it's for a job application, a marketing video for your business, a video greeting for clients, reaching out to potential podcast guests (as I like to do) – it goes on and on.
Jimmy's winning Australia Day video (where he won a $5000 gold HTC phone):

Regular readers of Mudpie Fridays will know the when I returned to work from my second lot of maternity leave I wanted to try and go away once a month. To spend quality time together away. I find I switch off better away from home. I guess thats one of the negatives of working from home both corporately and from a freelance perspective. In January we went to Cambridge in February we went to Warwick. This is driven partly by the fact that we brought Merlin passes in the sale and I am determined to make the most out of them.
Our intention was to visit Warwick Castle over the weekend, but because of Doris we decided to head up early on the Friday and try and visit that day. Since the weather forecast was not in our favour for the rest of the weekend. From home Warwick is about two hours, by the time we arrived around 11.30 the carpark was already full and we were directed to park in town. If this happens to you don't worry as there is a little carpark literally just off the high street in Capel Row which was very reasonably priced at £3 for the afternoon. It was about at ten minute walk to the castle.
We arrived just in time to see the Bow Man who proved rather entertaining. As you enter there is a board which gives you details of everything going on, and its worth checking the website on the day you intent visiting. The thing I like about Warwick Castle is there is jut so much to do. You really need a whole day to take it all in, as we only had an afternoon we decided to do the main attractions. One day I will get a chance to walk around the grounds..
Once inside the actual castle Monkey and Daddy went up to explore the battlements while I fed Kipper. There is plenty of seating around the grass area in the centre and a place to grab a coffee. We decided to give the Dungeons a miss as Monkey is probably a bit young for them. Once they had finished exploring Monkey had a kids burger meal for £4.35 (without discount) which I think is pretty reasonable compared to other attractions we have visited.
Then it was time to explore the castle. There was big wows as we walked into the great hall and saw all the suits of armour. One end has been given over to wax works hosting a traditional tea party and drinks. I found it a little eerie and was half expecting them to come alive! It didn't bother Monkey in the slightest he was just happy to explore. Its not suitable for buggies, since Kipper was sleeping he stayed outside with Hubby. Of course visiting with a four and a half year old meant that we flew round it quickly. I was pretty impressed that he knew who Henry the 8th was without me even pointing him out.
They have a new story time session in one of the turrets. This is free but you do need to book in advance. As we were tight for time we decided to give it a miss. However we will be back in the Summer to try it out. I also have my eye on trying out their glamping over the holidays. Of course we couldn't avoid the gift shop for ever. Sympathising with the other parents whose little ones were walking around in Warwick branded knight gear. Monkey has a knight costume so I thought we would be pretty safe. However I had not counted on the Robin Hood bow and arrow set. After some negotiation on this will be your only gift all weekend we walked out with the set. The bow, with extra arrows and a hat came in at £14. To put this in perspective a Warwick knight outfit of tunic, hat, sword and shield came in at £25. It did prove a great source of amusement in the hotel.
Being Winter the castle closes at 4pm the last show of the day is the Treborchat. The show is pretty impressive from an adults perspective so I can only imagine what its like in the eyes of a child. The compair was very good explaining the story between the House of Lancaster and House of York.
This will definitely be on our list for another visit in the warmer wether and hopefully we will get a whole day and take part in some of the other activities, such as story time, archery and the bird of prey show. For the price of entry this time of year you get a lot for your money, I just wished we lived a little but closer.
Things you need to know:
- The castle opens every day apart from Christmas Day at 10am, closing time vary depending on the time of year and event, details are available on their website.
- Ticket prices – full price castle tickets are £19.20 for an adult and £16.80 for a child, both reduce to £13.00 if booked more than five days in advance. For castle and dungeon tickets the price is £22.80 for an adult and £19.20 for a child these reduce to £16.00 each if booked five days in advance.

Why do such terrible things happen in this relative world while our deeper understanding knows that dharma protects all? Dharma is the moral order of the universe. It is the hidden force that works to make us whole and give us what we need to expand in this existence so as to find the eternal beatitude. "Those who protect dharma are protected by dharma," said Anandamurti. Is the reverse true as well, that those who don't protect dharma aren't protected by dharma? A reckless life with no discernment only breeds chaos. Actions based on unbridled desires will certainly not have very tame reactions. I would say that even the ignorant that go against dharma are protected too, although they may have to undergo reactions from their ignorant actions to put the universe and themselves back into balance once again. Essentially, dharma holds all beings together within a supreme being. When we go against this natural order there are reactions and imbalances in the body, mind, and spirit.
Take, for example, this so-called Narco War. Is there some sort of karmic reason or cause? It would be hard to say what the deepest cause may be but one thing is certain and that there is very little dharma in the people to protect them from these dangers. Mexico is now called a "Narco State", but before that it was a "Drunken State". Around these parts in the north of Mexico, a great percentage of men are alcoholics, even more than in the U.S. However, Mexicans are on the average poorer and so many families go without proper food and care because the head of the household is out partying with friends and prostitutes. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of men I have met who have been honest and responsible with their families. It is seen as a privilege and even virtue for men to have their extra-marital affairs and drunken rampages. This just sets off a whole chain of lies and deceit that undermines the whole society. This form of egoism only breeds other forms of vice. If one can lie to the family, then why not lie for so many other reasons as well? Machismo permits this indulgence while the families pay the price. This is true at all levels of society and not just with the proletariat.
The family is the nucleus of the society and so much depends upon its health and integrity. Without a balanced family feeling towards one's near and dear, it is very difficult to find balance and equilibrium in the emotions. These complexes make spiritual practice very difficult. One tries to be in the present but is locked into past complexes. The foundation for this emotional stability is always with one's family and/or immediate society. Here, the most popular macho attitudes go directly against what is most essential for human beings. Pairing this emotional insecurity and lack of firm identity with a heartless, materialistic culture where everybody is cheating and lying to everybody else is the perfect recipe for social disaster. Some parasite would be attracted to this weakness. If I were Satan or somebody really important in an intelligence agency, I would certainly exploit people's weakest points to make them submit to my malicious will so as to enslave their entire society and steal their natural resources and exploit cheap labor. If all of the advertisement bombardments of beer and boobies still left a few alive and kicking with a little independence and creative vitality, then I would see how to get them hooked on crack. And this is precisely what is happening. Mexicans are poor and crack is just cheaper and quicker than beer. Even in rural communities it is appearing and there are goat-herders smoking crack!</span> Alcohol must be the greatest and most wide-spread vice for humanity, at least until crack catches up. Alcohol is a poison that does no good for the body nor the mind, except for the preparation of medicines for extracting the essence of medicinal plants. Slowly or rapidly, it always degrades the mind and directs the intelligence towards the senses, thus gradually making one more unconscious. Negative microvita or mental-energetic viruses feed more and more off the minds that vibrate with alcohol as alcohol has become such a perfect medium to inject degenerating tendencies while the mind is in a stupefied state. It is just all too easy for the shrewd and ambitious to take advantage of the situation. They probably even feel justified in exploiting people in such a miserable state because they obviously don't deserve any better because they are seen as brutes. Alcohol only makes the poor poorer and the ignorant more brutally ignorant. Imagine how this country, or any country really, would be if men loved and cared for their families as much as they love their 6-packs.
Alcoholics anonymous imposes absolute abstinence for an individual. If a whole society is alcoholic, then doesn't it stand to reason that the whole society should abstain as well? This is a mere fantasy for a materialistic society with a shallow outlook. Only in societies where there is a strong spiritual and/or moral base is a "dry law" possible. For many contemporary minds it sounds limited and religious, but Quakers and Amish do have much higher levels of mental health than the outside world. The Zapatistas imposed this law for very pragmatic reasons without having to resort to religion. It got the men off of the sidewalks and back to work. As a matter of fact, it was the women who insisted on this law in the Zapatista communities of Chiapas. I don't think that this cultural revolution would have been possible without this step. .

American Women Religious and Ministry: New Challenge, Traditional Response
Joan Chittister, O.S.B.
From Winds of Change: Women Challenge Church, Sheed & Ward 1986, pp.123-129; reprinted on www.womenpriests.org with the necessary permissions.
The renewal of Roman Catholic religious life for women has taken many turns in the last twenty years. The lifestyle, governance models, prayer forms, formation criteria and theology of the vows which directed the life of women religious in this century have all been scrutinized in an attempt to make the life both relevant to todays needs and faithful to the original inspiration of religious orders. Changes have been widespread and critical. But it is not in these isolated pieces that the effects of renewal come into focus. It is in the ministries that now flow from religious life that the quality of renewal is most clear.
Nineteenth century religious life was a common life of regulated behaviors and work that functioned to maintain the institution but not necessarily to bring each woman to fullness of human growth and potential. Nevertheless, at the same time that nuns were being taught their functionalism, they were also getting a clear, if unconscious, awareness of their effectiveness as well. Almost the entire social-service network of the Catholic Church in the United States was owned and/or operated by communities of women religious for over 150 years, accountable to the Church but most often operationally independent of it. With their own money and with their own personnel, religious built and staffed most of the Catholic colleges, academies, hospitals, orphanages, and special-care facilities in the country. The self-understanding that emerged from these experiences was in direct contradiction to the values and standards imbued in their formation programs. As administrators they were designing programs worth thousands of dollars; in their convents they were asking permission to read the newspaper. In their personal lives they were treated as children; in their apostolic activities they needed initiative, vision, a sense of risk, competence, confidence, assertiveness, independence, and community corroboration. Moreover, they needed, and got, high-level professional educations. It was to these experiences of achievement, selfdirection, and mutual support as well as to the fundamental theology of religious life and the histories of their Orders that women religious turned eventually for renewal and redefinition.
Just as frmly as they moved to eliminate authoritarianism, depersonalization, and conformity from their lives, American women religious began to question their works as well. Most religious communities had been called to this country by American bishops to minister to Catholic immigrant populations under the auspices of a given diocese. They were expected to be self-supporting but at the service of the local Church and under its authority. Out of this system had arisen the entire Catholic institutional system.
By the 1960s the effects of common works, control and economic pressure had begun to take a heavy toll. The specialization of all areas of ministry - education, health care, and social service work - made it increasingly difficult to treat women religious as a collection of interchangeable parts. Being put into positions for which they were not prepared or for which they had little talent or interest was beginning to affect womens very commitment to the religious life. Of those who left convents at this time, many said that it was because they could not be themselves. What is more, the stipends provided women religious were far below the national minimum wage. In 1966, the average sisters stipend in the parochial school system was $100 per month, without benefit of health insurance or retirement monies. Many are barely above that even now. Nevetheless, women religious provided their own food, shelter, health care, and education with the exception of local convents provided for Sisters working in the parishes. Consequently, as transportation, insurance, and professional education costs became compulsory and increasingly higher, religious women could actually no longer afford to restrict themselves to parochial ministry. Finally, the whole philosophical question of justice and the role of women in society became a critical one.
Over three-quarters of the 1500 respondents from 23 communities who participated in a 1978 Ministry Survey argued that since the religious community reflects the Church, it must therefore be outgoing and open to the secular, and that furthermore, non-institutional ministries provide a dynamic way to respond to the needs of the times. What may be even more important is the fact that over 90 percent of the respondents rejected the traditional concept that the best work a religious community can do will take the form of an institutional corporate apostolate under the guidance of the hierarchy. Finally, this group argued that their community leaders should enable the development of new community ministries and themselves speak out on social issues. This confluence of circumstances, social change, and a new theology of church brought women religious to decisions that altered the structures but not the direction of their lives. More than that, it altered their modes of service in contemporary society.
Having said all that about the history, culture, and circumstances that surround the ministries of women religious in this country, the fact remains that basically little has changed where the works of religious are concerned. The work of American women religious has historically been devoted to the needs of the oppressed and the poor. Today, American religious are simply turning once again to the needs of the new poor.
Women religious came to this country to minister to the needs of a large, basically poor, Catholic population in a then largely Protestant country. Language was a major barrier to both employment, advancement,and enculturation. Education appeared to be the answer and parochial schools the way to maintain religious beliefs and practices and to eventually insert Catholic citizens into the white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant culture around them. By the time John F. Kennedy took the presidential oath of office in this country, that task had been largely accomplished, at least for that population. The schools were established, and generations of the laity had been prepared to staff and direct the schools as well as to value them. The Catholic population as a whole had been assimilated into mainstream America and, like it, had moved to the suburbs. The question now became: Who would care for those left behind and how?
It was the late 1960s: The Vietnam War raged; blacks staged sit-ins at lunch counters in the South; Watts burned; public politicians lied and cheated; new classes of immigrants began to pour into the United States; the Womens Movement exposed the discrimination that came with being born female; the United States pursued militarism with a vengeance. In the midst of all this, Vatican Council II called for the renewal of religious life according to the charism of the order, the intentions of the founder, and the signs of the times. Business-as-usual simply wasnt working anymore. Women religious began to move from classrooms to soup kitchens, to neighborhood action centers, to public welfare programs, to legal aid offices, to pastoral teams in parishes, to diocesan peace and justice offices, to safe-houses for battered women. At the same time, it is important to remember, many did not move out of classrooms at all. They stayed in education but changed textbooks and curricula to deal with the problems of the time or they became involved on a spare-time basis with advocacy groups that were themselves organized to address these issues. Whole communities adopted corporate commitments to specific social questions - housing, nuclear disarmament, poverty, justice - and pledged themselves to promote these questions wherever each of them might be: in education, in health care institutions, in office work, in either the private or parochial sector. Some Sisters deliberately sought full-salaried, high-paying positions so that other members of the community could work directly with and for people or organizations who could not afford to pay for services at all.
Sisters who were being blamed, in other words, for abandoning the Catholic school system were simply doing what had always been done in the best tradition of religious life and in the immediate history of their own communities: they were bringing the Gospel to bear on the issues of the time; they were standing with and for the new poor; they were standing between two cultures with one foot firmly planted in each. They were now, however, as intent on removing the obstacles to justice as they were to doing charity.
Nevertheless, real pressures and obstructions exist. The transition has been no easier for the religious of this century than it was for the pioneers of the last. Many communities owned buildings that housed previous ministries but were yet unpaid for; most religious had standard educational degrees and had to be prepared in whole new fields; many communities themselves were situated far away from the new problems and the new poor; community schedules and living patterns were strained in the attempts to respond; the structures unique to apostolic religious life for women - companions, community life, hours of work - had to be questioned; the mortgages and populations and facilities of times past were with them still while new needs arose on every side.
The price of transition is external as well. Identification with the middle class makes identification with the poor difficult for religious, too. Most of todays religious were formed in middle class houses, with middle-class lives and middle-class expectations of education and hot water and cars and full meals. It is not always possible to make the adjustment to a ghetto lifestyle. Knowing this, however, many religious women who cannot live with the poor live for the poor as advocates, as researchers, as activists, as a social conscience and voice for the voiceless.
The residual theology of pre-Vatican II religious life, the notion that the function of religious life is to transcend the world, to be outside of it, to withdraw from it, is still a force in the Church, in society, and in some religious themselves. The witness mythology of separation, designed to ground the religious spiritually and to enable the religious to avoid chaotic activism, has too often led religious to opt for empty symbolism or fabricated pieties instead of the real thing. It is not enough to say the Stations of the Cross when the oppressed in our own towns have no one to go before the judges for them. The function of religious ministry today is to move again from subjective signs of personal commitment to objective transformation of the society by bringing the Good News to our own times. The function of religious life is to transform the world and to bring the foolish standards of the Gospel to the issues of the age.
The definition of religious life by task, as teachers or nurses, rather than as disciples sent to proclaim, reduces the prophetic function of religious life, domesticates it, institutionalizes it, muzzles it. It leads people to ask seriously, But should a religious be in a public demonstration? Should a religious be lobbying? Should a religious be involved in political issues? We have so sanctified the separation of church and state that it has become an evil in this society for a Christian to call the conscience of the king.
Women religious of this period have borne all of these burdens of transition with hope. They go on using their existing institutions for both new and old ministries; they have become a Christian presence in other ones; they have chosen to be leaven as well as labor force. They have become centers of community, consciousness, influence, relinquishment, and critical clarity to call and to question.
There are some who say that the aging of communities of women religious is a sure sign of their death, but I am not convinced. Where life and commitment converge, age is no factor. The scripture reads that when the angel-guests who had yielded to their insistent hospitality told Abraham and old Sarah she would bear a child. Sarah laughed. Yet from her came the beginning of a whole new people. Perfectae caritatis, the Vatican II decree on the renewal of religious life, reads: A life consecrated by a profession of the counsels is of surpassing value and has a necessary role to play in the circumstances of the present age. Our challenge is to minister insistently in hope and beyond hope, knowing that in and through the most impossible circumstances God will work Gods will.

Yesterday James and I went to the Google Halloween party. There were decorations everywhere and even the t-rex had been mummified.
The main party was at GARfield park and a lot more elaborate than the Amazon Halloween party we went to last year. This one was Alice in Wonderland themed.
It's been awhile since I read Alice in Wonderland so I'm sure I didn't get all the references. Were there mushrooms? I think I vaguely remember mushrooms, though maybe not in bouncy house form …
Though I definitely remember giant (and tiny) Alice.
Drink Me!
There was also a game of croquet going, a white rabbit petting zoo, sumo wrestling (OK I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the book) and another oversized costume duel thingy with big jousting sticks.
We met up with some of James' coworkers and James and Sundeep did battle. The victor was the person whose head didn't fall off (OHHH I just got it! Off with their heads!). They had some crowd-pleasing fights, mainly due to their tendency to double KO.
I don't know why James is celebrating so hard – they both lost!
There was plenty to eat and drink. Snacks everywhere, lots of (free) food trucks and of course plenty of booze. Here is James double-fisting it.
You could also get your face painted, and James and I both went for creepy Cheshire cat mouths.
Good thing we took a photo before we ate (I think this photo was actually taken while we were in the queue for some Roli Roti roast chicken) because after wiping his mouth James smeared his face makeup everywhere. =(
The party was short and sweet – from 3 until 6 and there was just enough to keep us busy the whole time. Of course we were both stuffed at the end of it – and I was a bit tipsy because we each had a green vodka drink plus the little blue bottles, which James didn't like so he made me drink his.
It was really fun, and it was nice getting to meet some of James' coworkers. I'm looking forward to the Christmas party (maybe I'll actually dress up for that since we'll have all our stuff back – which I'm actually looking forward to way more!)

Johannesburg- Generations:The Legacy fans were left shocked after the soapie's producers revealed that Vuyo Dabula would be leaving the show.
The announcement was first made six weeks ago. (Read that story here)
Ever since then, there's been conflicting reports on the actor's exit from the soapie.
A few weeks ago The Juice reliably learnt that Vuyo had made a surprise u-turn, and won't be leaving the soapie after all. (Read that story here)
At the time Generations:The Legacy publicist, Gaaratwe Mokhethi would neither confirm or deny the news, saying that they wanted to "keep viewers intrigued."
Vuyo's exit came into the spotlight once again, after he was quoted in various publications that it was just a rumour and that he is leaving the soapie.
However, our source has revealed that Vuyo is contractually obligated and that it's the soapie's intention to "surprise fans."
"I know for a fact that Vuyo is not leaving the soapie. I have seen the signed contract myself, and I'm sticking to my word on this. Just wait and watch, I guarantee that he will be on the soapie for a while," our source said.

Terry Edwards Presents A Podcast On Madness' One Step Beyond
The Quietus
, October 7th, 2011 12:59
The world's smartest man on the sax guides us through music connected with debut Madness album One Step Beyond
You might well have been to see a loose-limbed bunch of ne'er-do-wells play live around the UK, perhaps PJ Harvey, Gallon Drunk, the Bad Seeds, Tindersticks, or Faust just a few months ago at the Quietus Village Mentality Stage at Field Day. Part or all of their performance might have seen them joined by a debonair Londoner, laying down some mean sax. Chances are that man would have been Terry Edwards. Since the post punk era, Edwards has collaborated both live and in the studio with a terrific range of artists, from early days in Norwich's The Higsons (alongside comedian Charlie) to those mentioned above, as well as releasing solo albums both with and without his groups, The Scapegoats. We're therefore really chuffed that this most affable of musicians has recorded us a special podcast all about Madness and One Step Beyond, the debut album from the Nutty Boys about which Edwards wrote a book for the 33 1/3 series. In it, Edwards gives superb insights into the album and what influenced it, and plays music including Bowie, Marty Feldman, Roxy Music, Dr Feelgood, Prince Buster, his own Butterfield 8 and Madness themselves. Listen below, and find out more about Terry's book at the 33 1/3 website. The new Madness box set, A Guided Tour Of Madness is out now, and Madness host the House Of Fun weekender at Minehead Butlins on 25th-28th November.

The Nation's appetite is for chocolate rather than a night of passionate sex
With Easter Sunday round the corner Chocolate didn't need any extra promotion as it is voted as the UK's number one vice to beat the blues - a survey reveals we are nation of emotional eaters who turn to chocolate before sex, drugs or booze
Chocolate has been named the biggest "pick me up" for the Nation, with sex trailing in a shocking fifth place, a survey of 2000 people has found*.
The survey, conducted by weight management company LighterLife, found that 34 per cent of men and women said that they turn to chocolate to beat emotional blues.
A close runner up, and still related to a calorific intake was junk food like takeaway pizza with 19 per cent of people choosing to gorge on stodgy food after a stressful day.
Rather shockingly, a night of passionate sex is only how three per cent of the nation choose to relax and unwind.
The survey was conducted by weight management company LighterLife, who asked a panel of men and women what they turn to when they are feeling low.
And even the higher tax doesn't seem to turn people off turning to alcohol as it came as a close third. Rather controversially, recreational drugs were also named as one of the leading sins
TV Doctor Dr. Hilary Jones says, "I am not surprised that high fat foods are being used more than sex, alcohol and cigarettes in stressful situations but people should still think about why they are turning to chocolate and junk food rather than their partner for support. For many people it seems that food and drink are often used as a way of avoiding intimacy or for those who are single, compensating for lack of it – emotional eating ultimately puts a strain on your health. What people need to do is acknowledge the reasons why they are "emotional eaters."'
The LighterLife programme incorporates weekly single sex counselling groupscomprising of a maximum of 12 people – they're an integral and compulsory part of the programme and enable people to reassess their relationship with food so they are more likely to manage their weight effectively.
Which is exactly what emotional eaters need and this survey demonstrates this. Worryingly it reveals that we are a depressed Nation who would rather turn to unhealthy vices for our kicks, none of the poll said they like to work out raising concern over the health of our country."
The table of results for Bath:
What do you consume more of when you feel unhappy?
Junk food like pizza
Recreational drugs
None of the above
*LighterLife surveyed 2000 people (1000 men and 1000 women) in an independent survey by One Poll.
Honestly, I am not surprised. :)
