How to Book a Mover
DIY move is one of the cheapest and common ways to move. If you are planning to move, here are some tips that will make the process easier for you.
DIY Moving Options
Identity theft is a major problem nationally and it could happen during a move. This guide will help you to prevent identity theft when relocating.
Stop Identity Theft
Moving heavy items can be intimidating when relocating. Packing and transporting them to a new location is not only a challenge, but it can also be quite a risk. From proper packaging to transport, you need to ensure that everything is in order before moving day. If you're looking for ways to pack and move your heavy items, here are a few tips to help you out.Proper Packaging
First off, you need to make sure that your heavy items are properly packed. Are your items fragile or sturdy? If you're packing heavy household appliances, you might want to consider dismantling the different parts and packing each one separately. Stock up on bubble wrap, old newspapers and packaging tape to make sure that you have more than enough to work with. You might also need a few cardboard boxes, especially if you're packing household appliances that need to be secured well during transport. Try to imagine how the transport process would be like so you can plan how to cushion those fragile items.Proper Labeling
Next, it's important that you put proper labeling on all those packed items. Place stickers on the boxes so that you know what's inside. This way, you can easily keep track of all the heavy items that you'll be transporting. Don't forget to mark all the boxes with fragile parts as FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP so that the movers know which boxes they need to handle with care.
Before getting started on the move, it would be best if you wrote a checklist of all the items that you would be transporting. Develop an inventory of all the parts that you'll be packing before you wrap them. If you could, categorize each list by room to stay organized. By keeping a master list, it will be much easier for you to stay on top of all the things you'll be transporting.Proper Transport
Lastly, you need to arrange proper transport for the heavy items that you'll be moving. This part is better left to the professionals. If you decide to transport it yourself, be aware that there is going to be a bit of risk involved. Professional movers don't just have the expertise, but they also have the tools to ensure a safe and efficient move. They also have the know how to properly secure your items once they're loaded on the truck. This will prevent any unnecessary shaking and jostling along the way. As a rule of thumb, if your item is heavier than 50 lbs, it would be best to call in a professional.
Try to do a bit of research when choosing a moving company to take care of your heavy items for you. Apart from the rates, you need to check if they have the credentials and certification to operate. It's also important that you look up reviews for their service. You'll find countless reviews online for moving companies so make sure to choose a service provider with excellent ratings.
Just to be safe, you might want to consider getting moving insurance before the move. There's really no saying what will happen during transport so it's better to have all bases covered. Who knows? This small move might just save you a lot of money and heartache if anything unfortunate happens. So there you have it. You don't have to feel so intimidated with your upcoming move now that you know the basics on packing and transporting heavy items. if you're still feeling a bit unsure, don't hesitate to call in a professional packing and transporting company to sort it all out for you.

Preparing For A Long Car Ride
One of the fantastic vacation activities will involve taking a long car ride with your family members or with your friends, and one will need to plan for it in advance to avoid inconveniences that may arise during the journey. Most of the long car rides are taken when one is on a vacation and planning ensures that one does not forget the important details. To ensure that a car ride becomes a success, there is the need to select a particular family member to be in charge of the plans. If you are planning a car trip, and the first step involves taking a list of all the important details and requirements for the journey. When making the list one also needs to determine the important phone calls as well as the appointments that they need to make before the actual day.
After identifying a list of the requirements one also needs to select a destination which allows them to book a hotel and also plan for the excursions. It is advisable that when one selects a destination they select a neutral location where no nay member of the family has visited in the past and thus ensure that no one will lose interest with the trip. Thus one needs to take a vote when making the selection to establish the location, and after identifying the location, one needs to study their destination about the weather. One also needs to determine the number of people who are going for the trip before they can select a vehicle. One also needs to determine if they will be taking pets along and ensure that they will select a car that will have enough space to accommodate them.
Once you have decided who will be accompanying you during the trip, you need to select an appropriate and dependable car to use for the trip. One also decides whether to hire a car for the trip or they can use one of their vehicles where the decision is based on the amount of the space and seats that are required for the trip. After selecting a car, one should take the car for a check to ensure that the car is safe to drive. Unreliable cars are likely to lead to accidents, and when one is involved in a car crash they can hire a car accident attorney such as Babcock Partners who will work to ensure one is compensated. A car accident lawyer helps one when they are filing a lawsuit to demand compensation. Car accidents lead to medical bills, lost wages and also pain thus the need to have car accident attorneys who can help one get their life back on track by ensuring they get a suitable settlement.

Plenty has changed for both renters and landlords this year. Policy changes, including those to stamp duty, have caused landlords to leave the market, reducing supply, while tenant demand has grown.
Rents, meanwhile, are expected to rise by a little under 2% over the year ahead, according to the November 2018 survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
So do your homework, and the groundwork, before finding a place to rent. First, get together your passport, driving licence, and proof that you're in the UK legally, for example an immigration status document.
'References may well be required from work and you will need to provide proof of income.' says Kate Faulkner, MD of the free education site Propertychecklists.co.uk. 'Some landlords or their agents may request copies of latest bank statements to check you have the money.'
You should start your search around three to four months in advance – although university students usually begin a whole lot earlier.
'The majority opt to secure the next year's accommodation within the first term of the academic year, sometimes 10 months before move-in date,' says Felix Henderson, CEO and co-founder of BubbleStudent.
'Students looking to rent large, multi-room properties, houses close to campus, or options at the budgetary extremes will often begin their search between November and Christmas, and we see a second peak from February as students finish their January exams and look to second year,' says Felix. 'The London market is slightly different, with students tending to secure properties in the last one to two months of the academic year.'
While studying at university, a student's personal belongings may well be covered under their parent's home insurance policy. If you're not a student, it's worth considering contents insurance while you're renting.
The average monthly UK rent is £928, according to the October 2018 report from HomeLet rental index. In London, the average is £1,619 a month and, While the average cost for the rest of the UK is £768 a month.
'You will soon build up a picture of what properties are renting for, and which areas are the most popular,' says Sam Mitchell, CEO, online estate agents Housesimple.com.
Be aware that you can make an offer below the asking price on a rental property.
'How bullish you can be depends on the strength of the local market and how willing you are to miss out on the property,' says Sam.
'However, in strong rental markets where properties are snapped up, it's likely that offers under asking price will be rejected out of hand. Saying that, you don't get if you don't ask.
'If you've decided you'd like to make an offer, and you know the property is attracting interest, ask yourself what will make your offer more attractive to the landlord. Are you a professional, do you have great references, are you prepared to offer a longer tenancy length to give the landlord more security?'
A deposit will be required, which is often the equivalent of four to six weeks of rent.
'There are some new insurance schemes that require no deposit,' says Kate. Instead of paying for a deposit, which can cost a month's rent or more, tenants will buy an insurance policy worth a week's rent that provides the landlord with cover.
'If offered one of these, check the cost of paying for the insurance versus the deposit, especially if you have to pay annually,' Kate continues. 'If the landlord/agent doesn't tell you which scheme will protect your deposit, then don't hand over the money.
'Never pay any money over until you have seen the property and verified that it's owned or managed by the landlord.'
Don't forget to take letting agent fees into account.
'Check what fees the agent is charging tenants – this can vary locally, but by law they have to be upfront about these fees, for example on their website,' says Kate. 'The average is around £300 per tenant in London and £200 outside.'
As well as private rented sector homes – property owned by a landlord and leased to a tenant – you could consider build to rent (BtR) properties, which are relatively new to the UK.
'The majority of BtR developments can be found in London and Manchester, typically in areas with good transport links to the city centre,' says Rajesh Shah, managing director, Tipi.
'BtR properties typically include the service aspect of a concierge and on-site maintenance team, as well as on-site gyms, social spaces, attractive apartments and all utility bills and ultra-fast broadband included within rental payments,' says Rajesh.
However, BtR properties are usually more expensive, so make sure you know of all the costs before renting.
In the private rented sector, you'll need to check with the landlord/rental agent to find out if gas, electricity and water bills are included in the rent, as they sometimes are.
Connecting utilities should be straightforward.
'There is a very high chance that your property will already have services connected and, in that case, tenants simply need to change the name on the service to their own and take meter readings,' says Mike Hookway, property management director at Portico.
You'll also need to pay council tax – unless you're a student.

The Ballad of Father Gilligan
William Butler Yeats
A ballad is a narrative poem consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain. Ballads have their origin in the folk tradition and are meant to be sung.
The prominent features of a ballad are the following:
narrative ( tells a story)
folksy (simple and pertaining to the oral folk tradition)
dramatic (full of dialogues and action)
usually has a sudden and unexpected beginning
The poem The Ballad of Father Gilligan by William Butler Yeats is a ballad.
The poem stanzaic in structure with twelve stanzas of four lines each (quatrain). In each stanza, the first and the third lines do not rhyme but the second line rhymes with the fourth line.
God is mercy, pity and love. The poem is an affirmation of a loving, kind God Who showers his beneficence to all his creations.
The Ballad of Father Gilligan is a touching narrative that illustrates God's everlasting benevolence and how He intervenes in the life of an earnest priest at a time of immense need. Father Peter Gilligan was extremely concurred in the redemption of the souls of his destitute parishioners
Father Gilligan was fagged out in carrying out his priestly obligations day and night during an epidemic in the Irish countryside. He had to not only give the last communion to his poor folks who were dying in large numbers but also conduct funeral services for them.
One evening, completely exhausted by the strain of extensive duties, Father Gilligan had dozed. Suddenly he was jolted from his sleep by the urging call of another dying parishioner. In despair, Father Gilligan started to grumble and complaint that his life was without rest, joyless and always troubled.
For a man religious vocation, the outburst was tantamount to a grievous sin and a questioning of God. Realising his mistake, Father Gilligan sought God's forgiveness for his irresponsible utterance and knelt down by the side of his chair and began to pray:
He tries to justify his words by saying that it was his exhausted body not his spirit that complained of the state of his life.
While he was praying, the wearied priest fell asleep by the side of his chair. Next morning, at dawn he woke up and realised his mistake. Shocked at his failure to perform his duty, he rode recklessly to the house of the dying man. He was received by the dead man's widow.
The widow was surprised to see the priest again and asked him why he had come again. When the priest asked her whether the sick man was dead, she told him that the sick man died happily after the priest's departure.
The priest was humbled at this and knelt and prayed. He realised that God the Divine had compassionately sent an angel to minister the last ritual to the dying man so that both the sick man as well as the priest were saved from damnation.
The priest wondered at the benevolence of The omniscient omnipotent omnipresent God who had the whole universe as His Parish yet extended His Helping Hand to the humble priest in his hour of need.
Questions and Answers
Extract I
The old priest Peter Gilligan
Was weary night and day;
For half his flock were in their beds,
Or under green sods lay.
How does the poem begin?
The poem begins abruptly without any prelude which is typical of a ballad.
Why was the priest weary throughout?
Father Gilligan was thoroughly exhausted by performing his priestly obligations day and night, probably during an epidemic in the Irish countryside. He had to not only give the last communion to his poor folks who were dying in large numbers but also conduct funeral services for them.
Flocks= A church congregation guided by a Priest. Here, the parishioners of Father Gilligan.
green sods: Graves covered over by green grass. The graves of the Parishioners who have succumbed to the calamitous epidemic.
Why were his flocks either in bed or lying under green sod?
The parishioners of Father Gilligan were either afflicted with the fatal epidemic or they have already become the victims of the deadly disease.
Extract II
Once, while he nodded on a chair,
At the moth-hour of eve,
Another poor man sent for him,
And he began to grieve.
'I have no rest, nor joy, nor peace,
For people die and die';
And after cried he, 'God forgive!
My body spake, not I!'
What is referred to as moth- hour of eve?
Moth hour = the time when moths come in swarms; this happens usually in the evening and also in the morning.
Moth-hour of eve here refers to the evening time when the moths congregate in large numbers.
Why did another man send for father Gilligan? Why is the man referred to as 'poor'?
The man was sick and was expecting death any time. He had sent for the priest so that he can receive the last communion before he passes away. It was imperative for a Catholic to receive the rites the rites of extreme unction meaning in the Catholic -tradition that the man died in a state of grace- so that his soul is salvaged and therefore, he can go to heaven.
The man was said to be 'poor' because of his poverty and also because he deserved sympathy as he was about to die.
Why did Father Gilligan lament? What did he complain of?
Overburdened by his religious duties, the old Father Gilligan was extremely weary and exhausted. He lamented that his life was joyless and troubled and he had no rest at all.
Why did father Gilligan ask forgiveness from God? What justification does he give to God for his errant words?
Father Gilligan was a priest in charge of the parishioners in the parish. It was his God given duty to look after them and perform their religious services. Therefore, Father Gilligan's desperate outburst was tantamount to a grave sin and a challenging of God. Understanding his fault, Father Gilligan prayed for God's forgiveness for his reckless words.
Father Gilligan endeavours to rationalize his errant words by saying that it was his exhausted body not his spirit that complained of the state of his life.
Extract III
They slowly into millions grew,
And leaves shook in the wind;
And God covered the world with shade,
And whispered to mankind.
They slowly into millions grew,
And leaves shook in the wind;
Here the poet describes the gradual descend of the night. The stars appeared one by one (peep out) and gradually grew into a large number and the leaves of the trees throbbed in the evening breeze.
What was the priest doing at this time? Why?
While the evening slowly turned into night, the worn out Father Gilligan who had knelt to pray to God for forgiveness for his errant words, leaned on a chair and slept. He slept blissfully neither aware of the passage of time nor conscious of the responsibility of the religious service he had to perform to the dying man.
What nature of God is brought up here?
And God covered the world with shade, / And whispered to mankind?
Here God is compared to a tender loving mother putting her child to sleep, covering the child with blanket and singing soft lullaby to it. Similarly, the Loving God brings relief to the toiling humanity by covering the earth with the comforting darkness of night and blessing the troubled souls with balm of soothing sleep.
What is the figure of speech used in the extract?
The figure of speech used to compare God to the tender loving mother is a metaphor.
Extract IV
Upon the time of sparrow-chirp
When the moths came once more.
The old priest Peter Gilligan
Stood upright on the floor.
'Mavrone, mavrone! the man has died
While I slept on the chair';
He roused his horse out of its sleep,
And rode with little care.
What is meant by Upon the time of sparrow-chirp?
Sparrow chirp refers to the early morning hours when the birds like sparrows twitter.
Why does the priest cry out 'Mavrone, mavrone?
Mavrone has two meanings; it is a cry of sorrow (the word probably originates from the Irish word mobhron; mo meaning my and bhron meaning sorrow).
The word also means Little Mother suggesting Virgin Mary the mother of Jesus Christ.
The priest cries out in dismayed grief for not going to the sick man's bed to perform the last rites.
What aspect of a ballad do you find here?
He roused his horse out of its sleep,/And rode with little care.
A ballad is usually dramatic; with action and dialogue. Here, the reckless driving of the priest is an action that conforms to the features of a ballad.
What does the line And rode with little care show about the mental state of the priest?
The priest was so despondent for neglecting his religious duty to offer the last communion to the sick man. Moreover, he also feared that one of his parishioners will be damned because of the priest's shirking of his appointed task. Hence, the priest, anxious and concerned, remorsefully rides recklessly to the sick man's house without caring for his own safety in the mountainous terrain of the Irish village.
Extract V
He rode now as he never rode,
By rocky lane and fen;
The sick man's wife opened the door:
'Father! you come again!'
'And is the poor man dead?' he cried.
'He died an hour ago.'
The old priest Peter Gilligan
In grief swayed to and fro.
'When you were gone, he turned and died
As merry as a bird.'
The old priest Peter Gilligan
He knelt him at that word.
Why does the sick man's wife ask 'Father? you come again!'?
The sick man's wife was surprised to see the priest. Already her husband had received the last sacrament from the priest and he had passed away happily. So the widow could not understand why the priest had come again.
In all probability, Yeats might be accepting the Catholic concept Bilocation, that is, the ability (said of certain Roman Catholic saints) to exist simultaneously in two locations
How did the sick man die?
The sick man after receiving the last rites died happily as merry as a bird
The poet uses the figure of speech simile compares the mood of the dying man to a merry bird.
Why was the father overcome with grief at the words of the widow?
The priest was so heartbroken for failing in his religious responsibility to provide the last communion to the sick man. Furthermore, he also dreaded that one of his parishioners will be anathemised because of the priest's skulking of his decreed task.
He knelt him at that word. Why? What does it show of his character?
When the priest inquired her if the sick man was dead, she said to him that the sick man died cheerfully after the priest had left. The widow's word made Father Gilligan realise that the ever merciful God had extended His helping hand to him.
The priest was humbled at this and knelt and prayed. He realised that God the Divine had compassionately sent an angel to minister the last ritual to the dying man so that both the sick man as well as the priest were saved from damnation.
Extract VI
'He Who hath made the night of stars
For souls who tire and bleed,
Sent one of His great angels down
To help me in my need.
'He Who is wrapped in purple robes,
With planets in His care,
Had pity on the least of things
Asleep upon a chair.'
Explain: 'He Who hath made the night of stars/ For souls who tire and bleed,'
Earlier the poet had evoked the image of God who brings ease to the labouring mankind by spreading over the earth the soothing darkness of night and blessing the troubled souls with balm of soothing sleep. Here we find almost a repetition of the idea where the poet asserts that God had made the night for the troubled humanity.
What did God do in order 'to help me in my need'?
Father Gilligan was saved from damnation for shirking his duty by the merciful intervention of God Who had sent one of His messenger angels to the earth to offer the last communion to the dying man. Thus when Father Gilligan was in dire straits God has extended His helping hand to him.
Explain: 'He Who is wrapped in purple robes,/With planets in His care,
Robes are here long flowing garment used for official or ceremonial occasions by a priest of the Church. The poet imagines the Almighty God as a Parish Priest whose Parish is the whole universe.
What do you understand about the character of Father Gilligan from his words 'Had pity on the least of things'?
Father Gilligan was immensely grateful towards God for His intervention to rescue him from probable damnation. The words of Gilligan speak of the priest's deep religious belief and also his endearing humility.

Biography: Founder, Rachel Speth
Currently residing in Shanghai, Rachel Speth, co-founder of Bambu®, oversees design, research, development, production and packaging throughout the Bambu brand. A jack of all trades, her role in the company includes setting new style trends, developing and designing new and innovative products, and creating new merchandising ideas.
Having recognized the expansive potential of bamboo 16 years ago, Speth, with her partner Jeff Delkin, spent 2 years traveling to numerous countries to explore the ways to work with this renewable, sustainable material. Through heavy research, workshops and speaking with artisans and agriculture experts, Speth's focus was to understand every aspect of the plant, from growing, to harvesting to manufacturing.
"Bamboo is the poster child for renewable materials," said Speth. "We had brainstormed numerous opportunities to bring renewable ideas into our everyday lives, but it seemed like a natural decision to introduce the idea through the home."
Beginning with a name and logo, under Speth's guide, a new kind of company was born - one that was going to reimagine the space of housewares through the fusion of intelligent design and renewable materials.
Previously having worked for Nike for 12 years in research and development, and most recently under the title of Regional Director for Corporate Responsibility – Environment, Speth's skills are manifested through the Bambu mission encouraging people to buy differently, and were realized when she won Entrepreneur of the Year, 2006.
Working from China, Speth creates fulfilling professional experiences, through team development, safe conditions and fair pay, by bringing a sense of responsibility and respect to those who work with or for Bambu. Through minimizing negative effects, providing good jobs, and promoting philanthropic efforts. Speth's vision is being realized through the Bambu company, providing fresh thinking to our everyday world.

Chocolate Tart for Your Sweetheart
My fiance and I have already celebrated Valentine's Day! While we won't do anything on February 14th, we made sure to show our appreciation and love for one other throughout the entire weekend. We binged our (new) favorite shows, sampled some modern Chinese cuisine, and kept to our primary tradition; a delicious, home-cooked meal accompanied by a bottle of red.
While the dinner was exquisite, I always enjoy throwing in a sweet surprise… dessert.
This vegan, gluten-free chocolate tart was so light and delectable, I couldn't help but share the previously top-secret recipe with you.
Put your chef hats on for this one, because your Valentine's Day is going to end with a strawberry on top.
1. Preheat oven to 350º and lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch tart pan. (I used a 9" cake pan in the pictures.)
2. Add all of the crust ingredients into a large bowl and and mix thoroughly. Add the crust mixture into the pan and press down firmly to form a crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust starts to brown.
3. While the crust bakes, add the chocolate chips to a glass or metal bowl and set aside.
4. Add the almond milk, coconut milk, and cornstarch to a small sauce pan and whisk to combine. Make sure to stir until all lumps dissolve. Heat mixture over medium-high heat, until it just starts to boil.
5. Next, remove from the heat and add in the coconut oil,
6. Once coconut oil is melted, pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and add in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes to melt the chocolate, and then stir until the mixture is smooth and lump free.
7. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, cover with tin foil and place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the filling has set .
8. Add sliced strawberries on top and enjoy!

Hi Everyone!
I'm back again with a product review on the Jurlique Purely Bright with VitaBrightKX Mist Spray. Sorry the picture is a little blurry. I took it with my phone and it looked better on the phone.
Anyways, Jurlique is a brand I was introduced to by my aesthetician at Ann Karen Spa. I was curious as that was the first time I had ever used it and I've heard good things about Jurlique "all natural" philosophy.
This was a full sized glass bottle of the Purely Bright Mist Spray. There was quite a lot in it. Probably 2 months worth of product for morning and night use. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the spray nozzle as the mist isn't as fine as as I would like.
Vitamin C is supposed to be great for brightening skin. I'll admit that I probably didn't read the product claims too carefully because there is only one claim and it's not a direct claim about making your skin brighter:
Hydrate and soften skin for a radiant glow.
In terms of hydration and softening, this mist does what it says. It reminds me of the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence that hydrated and softened my skin, sometimes to the point where I wouldn't feel the need to follow up with a moisturizer.
In terms of radiant glow... Okay, my skin looked radiant after spraying this mist and patting it into my skin. But that radiancy lasted only for a while. By the mid morning or mid evening, about 1-2 hours after application, my skin looked normal again, and by normal I mean a little dull looking.
I wanted to love this product to the point where I could confidently say that I will repurchase this, but I just don't know if I love it enough for a repeat $34.00 purchase. I probably won't repurchase this, but only because I don't love it enough to spend the money on it.
Have you tried Jurlique before? Tell me what you think of their products!
Thanks for stopping by!

Water / Sewage Tunnels
Mushrooming urban growth has greatly increased the demand for all types of public services. Massive population shifts have triggered accelerated urban expansion in the most economically viable regions of the country. As people pour into bustling cities and sprawling communities, the demand for water and sewage facilities grows significantly. Like the expanding root system of a tree, the modern city must expand its water/sewage tunnel system.
EVEREST Equipment Co. is helping contractors meet this tremendous demand for water and sewage facilities. EVEREST provides contractors with a well-designed line of tunnel forms for efficient tunnel construction. EVEREST forms are simple and versatile. The smooth telescoping action ensures that the concreting work flows as easily as the water that will occupy the tunnels once the work is completed.
Water and sewage tunnels can often taper to very small diameters. Working conditions are often cramped, and space is a premium. EVEREST has a full line of forming and placing equipment that is compact enough to work under tight conditions. Even at smaller diameters, EVEREST form carrier systems swiftly move collapsed form sections through the tunnel. If the job requires continuous pouring, needle beam carriers from EVEREST quickly shuttle the formwork forward until the job is complete.
EVEREST formwork is designed for use on specific jobs, but with proper maintenance durable EVEREST forms can often be adapted for use on future projects.

Gutter Repairs
Rain gutters are a crucial part of the roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. Can you imagine what is going to happen if the water is not being directed away from your home? This will lead to the damaging of wood, bricks, mortar, eroding foundations and flooding of the basements. Consequently, it is very important to keep up with gutter cleaning and gutter repairs to protect your home from such damage.
So what types of gutter repairs are needed? There are a number of repairs that could be needed, but there are some gutter repairs that are very common.
Sagging gutters are the most common type of gutter repair. The reason being that a lot of old gutters are supported by long nails or spikes. The only way to repair these sagging gutters is to replace the spikes with long screws or to add new brackets. There is the possibility that the wood surrounding the sagging gutter has been damaged. In this event the wood would need to be replaced too.
Another common gutter repair is the Downpipes. The Downpipes carry all of the excess water down and away from the house. If debris gets stuck and freezes inside the downpipes, the seam can split. The Downpipe and elbow will have to be replaced, and eventually the bracket that supports the Downpipe.
Leakages are another major concern. If the gutter is leaking it needs to be repaired. Most times this can be done by sealing the gutter at the leak or possibly using a few screws. If the gutter has rusted through completely, a temporary fix may be achieved by sealing the area that has rusted out. However, new gutters may be needed sooner rather than later in this circumstance.

She has no power over you. Try to focus on yourself and your breathing…
You can do this.
Sending you everything good Faith, be well.
You can do this, Faith. I'll be thinking of you.

Faith, I will be thinking thoughts of peace and strength comfort and protection. I will be praying for you. I know you can make it though this. Focus on your sister, introduce yourself to the people next to you. You dont have to sit with the momster, you know that, right? It may be better to sit waaaaaay behind her. On her own, she doesn't have the power to hurt you anymore.
Put pk in your pocket. She can be your shell. She will protect you (though you are Faith, strong enough)

no matter what, you are always going to be you and you are not going alone because you are bringing yourself. Intensely scared no doubt but even more courageous because of it. Feeling that way and still doing it, facing it, shows how much you have achieved and how well you are prepared!
The worst thing would be her trying to victimise you in one or another, the best thing realising, that she as a person is somewhat insignificant to you now, that you are so over it all and that you have got your life to focus on:)
You rock Faith!!

Hey Faith, I'm sure you already know it but you have many people thinking of you today and sending good positive vibes. I'm totally with Palucci in hoping you and sis are able to stay in the present moment for this is an exciting celebratory day for sis. Hope you are finding the strength we all know you possess and that we see daily. Since it's normally just the way of things, abusive mom or not, it's a good bet that she will say or do something insensitive or that will rub you the wrong way….whatever way you deal with it ….it's going to be okay. Thinking of you…..journey2xl

Ok….I'm worried. I know if you could you would drop us a line. I'm imaging the worst. You've helped a countless amount of people Faith, I hope you are helping yourself right now. I hope you are feeling the love, concern and strength we are all sending. Your LIFE, blog and wisdom have changed the lives of so many people. I suppose I can only speak for myself, but not for your courage to speak/reach out to other's I would still be feeling like I was the only one feeling what I feel and avoiding my life. So…..thinking of you often and hope to hear from you soon.

Created in the impressive style of the Hammering collection at Hazorfim, this silver netilat yadayim cup was made to pay tribute to the traditional procedure of handcrafting silver, a skill which demands much time and effort. The pieces in this collection are created by hammering the silver thousands of times, a form of art which has nearly been forgotten. The collection was started by Hazorfim to bring this method back to the creation of silver art, and can only be formed by the most skilled silversmiths who work painstakingly to produce these beautiful pieces exclusively for our valued customers.
This magnificent silver washing cup stands on a circular platform which curves in and rises slightly, with a round, ring-like design beneath the cup. The cup climbs directly from the base, widening minimally as it reaches the top, and ending with a broader lip. Two elegant handles curl out from the rim of this Jewish hand washing cup and attach at its base, and the cup features a magnificent hammered design which finishes the piece with a look of extreme beauty which is sure to catch your eye.
With this silver netilat yadayim cup gracing your collection of silver finery, your netilat yadayim experience will be taken to the next level, allowing you to enjoy this piece anew each time you raise it to wash your hands.
The Hammering Collection is a collection born of love for the traditional hand-processing of silver- an art that requires patience, and highly-skilled silversmiths. The stylish look of this hammered foil technique is created by thousands of small hammer blows and it is a skill which has almost disappeared from the world.
Hazorfim created this collection to return this traditional hand-crafting technique to the production of silver art. The Hammering Collection is an elegant range of value for money, prestigious and pure matt pieces of silver art which honors an almost-forgotten technique known only to master silversmiths.

NIST has published a new Guide to LTE Security, as NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-187.
Cellular technology plays an increasingly large role in society as it has become the primary portal to the Internet for a large segment of the population. One of the main drivers making this change possible is the deployment of 4th generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technologies. This publication serves as a guide to the fundamentals of how LTE networks operate and explores the LTE security architecture. This is followed by an analysis of the threats posed to LTE networks and supporting mitigations.
SP 800-187 introduces high-level LTE concepts and discusses technical LTE security mechanisms in detail. Technical readers are expected to understand fundamental networking concepts and general network security. It is intended to assist those evaluating, adopting, and operating LTE networks, specifically telecommunications engineers, system administrators, cybersecurity practitioners, and security researchers.

Pendulum Choir — Cod.Act's latest concept—performance awarded the Grand Prize at the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2012 — is an original choral piece for 9 A Cappella voices and 18 hydraulic jacks. The choir stands on tilting platforms, constituting a living, sonorous body. That body expresses itself through various physical states. Its plasticity varies at the mercy of its sonority. It varies between abstract sounds, repetitive sounds, and lyrical or narrative sounds. The bodies of the singers and their voices play with and against gravity. They brush and avoid each other creating subtle vocal polyphonies. Or, supported by electronic sounds, they break their cohesion and burst into lyrical flight or fold up into an obsessional and dark ritual. The organ travels from life to death in a robotic allegory where the technological complexity and the lyricism of the moving bodies combine into a work with Promethean accents.
Michel Décosterd (b. 1969 in Le Locle, Switzerland) — after having received a diploma of architecture at the Engineering School of Biel (1994), he worked as an architect in Berlin and Weimar (1994—96). After founding the group Cod.Act with André Décosterd, he is active in plastic arts and in architecture, developing and constructing sound machines.
Under the label Cod.Act, André and Michel Décosterd combine their know—how and interests. They develop performances, interactive installations, sound sculptures and kinetic objects that focus on sound and movement and their possible interaction.
Their works have been exhibited internationally, gaining prestigious awards and nominations: Premio Transitio_MX 04 in Mexico City (2011), Grand Prize 14th Japan Media Arts Festival (Japan, 2010), CYNEART 2010 Award (Dresden), Distinction Award at Ars Electronica (Linz, 2010), Culture Award of the Neuchâtel Cantonal Bank (Neuchâtel, 2009), Japan Media Art Festival, division Interactive Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, (Tokyo, 2004), International Media Art Award (ARTE — Süddeutsche Rundfunk, ZKM Karlsruhe, 2004).
Nicolas Farine (b. in Montfaucon, Switzerland) — Swiss conductor, pianist and trumpeter. After obtaining, at the age of 19, a professional piano diploma and a virtuosity diploma for trumpet at the Conservatoire de Neuchâtel, Nicolas Farine continued to polish his skills at the University of Montreal. Until obtaining a doctorate in music in Marc Durand's class for piano soloist, he studied several aspects of his art: not only solo piano but also musicology and conducting. He polished his skills in the United States, Canada and Austria under masters such as Leon Fleisher, André Laplante, Marek Yablonsky, Venislav Yankoff and for conducting with Otto-Werner Müller (Juilliard School), Salvador Mas Conde (Musikakademie Vienna) and Charles Bruck (Pierre Monteux School, USA). His recitals and concerts have taken him to Canada, South America, England, France, Austria and Ukraine, where he conducted the National Orchestra of Ukraine. He is founder of the Jeune Opéra Compagnie that he directs with François Cattin. Together they have created operas and a professional choir of 16 singers, "Les Voix".

If you are a registered democrat or republican, you have an opportunity to weigh in on who you think the candidate should be for upcoming elections. There are a couple of choices for the 5th congressional district being vacated by Rep. Esty and several choices for governor.
If you're an independent, unfortunately you won't be able to vote in any of the primaries.
So republicans or democrats, get out there. Be heard. And no matter who you are, when November rolls around, VOTE!

By Yerushka Chetty
2012/2013 – Andile Mngxitama defends Mamphela Ramphele against attacks from Jared Sacks who claimed inter alia that "Biko would not vote for Ramphele". Politically Mamphele and Mngxitama do not share the same perspective but Mngxitama pointed out that Sacks has "no right to brazenly distort Biko's ideas to assault Mamphela Ramphele". Mngxitama consequently lost his job because he defended Mamphela. The BC block applauded him for his stance.
2013 – Andile Mngxitama argues that the BPPA (Black Power Pan Afrikanist) block should join EFF on the condition that it focuses on destroying white racist monopoly capital and is committed to creating a new anti racist society that's socialist and black centred. He defended Julius Malema who is considered a house negro by the BPPA block saying that since Malema has chosen to fight with us for, amongst other things, expropriation of land without compensation outside the ANC (who were pushing a willing buyer willing seller policy on land) we must welcome him to the ranks of the revolution and defend him. It was further argued that should Malema go against the non negotiable principles agreed upon we must only then reject him.
2014 – When Mmusi Maimane was attacked by racist white MPs, Julius Malema took the decision to defend Maimane against racists even though Maimane is head of the racist DA. To this end Julius Malema referenced Andile Mngxitama's writings on defending black people (even house negroes) who are attacked by racists.
2014 – Andile Mngxitama defends the house negro, Lindiwe Mazibuko, against racist attacks with support from the EFF. Mngxitama insists that we must not allow black people to be attacked by white racists. We must not be used by white people to fight black people for white people's benefit.
2015 – Andile Mngxitama sends out a revolutionary call to black people to unite under one umbrella to fight white monopoly capital and thereby announces the birth of Black First Land First.
2016 – BLF led by Mngxitama lodged a complaint relating to Penny Sparrow's racist utterances with the Human Rights Commission and also preferred a charge of racism against Sparrow in the Equality Court of South Africa. The relief sought "includes the criminalization of racism with the provision that "blacks can't be racist" as well as the return of the land to the black majority without any compensation to the colonial thieves!"
2016 – BLF led by Andile Mngxitama supported SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng's policy directive that all 18 SABC radio stations shall be playing 90% local music. Motsoeneng's "visionary and courageous leadership" was applauded by Mngxitama who referred to his policy decision as "one of the first few policies which is unapologetically pro-black since 1994". Mngxitama's support for Motsoeneng came in the face of ridicule and contempt by the white owned media "through their black captured journalists". He called upon all black managers to study and emulate Motsoeneng's black first style of management, more especially his approach to transformation.
2016 – Imperialist interests were deeply angered when the now Gupta owned Optimal Coal concluded a contract with Eskom to supply 5% of its coal needs. To this end Mngxitama asked the white owned media why it is not interested in the remaining 95% white owned coal suppliers of Eskom. The black truth is that the problem started when the Gupta owned Oakbay Investments outdid the Swiss conglomerate Glencore and bought their business Optimal Coal. To this end Glencore had been trying to blackmail Eskom by withdrawing its coal supply with the intention of plunging South Africa into load shedding so that they could consequently force Eskom to buy its coal at a more inflated price which in turn would have been beyond the prior agreement concluded between them. Via the insight and expertise of the Eskom CEO Brian Molefe the vicious criminal scheme of Glencore was stopped in its tracks and in this respect it (Glencore) was compelled to sell Optimal Coal to the Guptas. In this regard BLF led by Mngxitama was first to expose the white imperialist hand of corruption in the consequent campaigns calling for Zuma (who was alleged to be "too close" to the Guptas) and the Guptas to go. Mngxitama was also instrumental in clarifying and locating President Zuma, the Guptas and Brian Molefe, amongst others, as part of the BRICS anti imperialist agenda that in turn needs to be defended against the Washington, London, Brussels, European Union pro imperialist agenda. The imperialist agenda seeks to remove President Zuma from office and replace him with their preferred choice Cyril Ramaphosa – just like it had done in Brazil when the democratically elected President Dilma Rousseff was impeached.
2016 – BLF under the leadership of Andile Mngxitama launches the following campaigns against white corruption and other economic crimes:
1. Recovery of #R26billion stolen by white capital from the South African Reserve Bank (R3.2bn from Absa, R3bn to R6bn from Sanlam and Rembrandt, up to R5.5bn from Aerospatiale/Daimler-Chrysler and R14.4 billion from ARMSCOR)
2. 22 criminal charges against former State President FW de Klerk and former Minister of Law and Order Adriaan Vlok, for crimes committed against black people for which perpetrators didn't get amnesty.
3. State capture by white capital implicating 9 white capitalists led by Johann Rupert.
2016 – Andile Mngxitama writes an open letter to Julius Malema asking him not go into coalition with the racist DA but to instead form an alliance with the ANC so as to force it to answer the big question of land return to blacks. Mngxitama pointed out that the 2016 LGE had put the EFF in a powerful position "to set a national agenda in South Africa" and that the "EFF can choose to (either)use it to advance the revolution or to strengthen the hand of white supremacy".
2016 – Andile Mngxitama representing BLF launches the #HandsOffZumaEconomicLiberationNow campaign that focuses on forcing President Zuma to fight imperialism and take back the economy including the land without payment to the colonial land thieves, amongst other demands. This campaign was launched in the context of Zuma being under attack from local white capital and for pushing the anti imperialist BRICS agenda. The campaign is clear on black people defending President Zuma against white racist imperialist attacks.
2016 – BLF led by Mngxitama called a meeting (which was attended by several civil society organizations) at which the Chairperson of SAA, Dudu Myeni, pointed out that she was being branded as incompetent because she insisted that the procurement budget of R24bn must benefit blacks and that she had got to the bottom of "why the airline was losing money". In this regard BLF via Mngxitama found and exposed the following relating to SAA including the white owned media's silence thereon:
98% of the SAA's annual procurement budget of R24 billion goes to white companies and that only 2% is spent on black businesses.
Myeni's anti-corruption process has shown that SAA was running at a loss of R100 billion per month via one of its "foreign outposts" and ticket sales of about R100 million per month was never deposited into the SAA bank account.
Coleman Andrews when he was CEO of SAA, bankrupted the institution by illegally paying himself R200 million before leaving the airlines. He was also complicit in the looting of SAA core assets in that he sold the airlines' fleet of aircraft which in turn was subsequently "leased back to SAA through foreign owned companies".
The decision of the Democratic Alliance (DA) to institute court proceedings challenging the re-appointment of Myeni as Chairperson of the SAA Board is baseless and devoid of the truth. Dudu Myeni is being attacked by white capital because of her role in stopping white corruption at SAA and thereby pushing a transformation agenda putting blacks first.

Disqus sucks: housekeeping notes
Well, y'all may have noticed that the comments thingy is different. I discovered that Disqus had taken it upon itself to install some kind of hideous adverts at the bottom of every post. This was not something I would ever have wanted and as soon as I discovered it, I deactivated Disqus.
For many reasons, Disqus is a pain, and I'm glad I don't have to deal with their idiotic and often labyrinthine processes for moderating and checking messages, and I am glad I can deactivate the stupid thing in my email that kept putting a bunch of annoying crap in there through my connection with Disqus.
The problem is that the lion's share of the site traffic, I'm informed, comes through having Disqus hooked up to the blog. It also makes comment moderation kind of weird and hard to figure out.
So, I'm doing a quick poll of readers: Disqus yes? Or Disqus No?

About Emmi
I joined the Hiscox graduate scheme in September after a whirlwind year of travelling after finishing my masters. I am now a graduate trainee underwriter in the London Market Household and Flood lines. It feels great to have found a graduate scheme which is so innovative and challenging. It is good to know and feel Hiscox are investing their time into helping me be the best I can possibly be. I studied for a Bachelors and Masters in Physics, specialising in Cosmology at the University of Sussex in Brighton, so it's in my nature to love being by the seaside and surfing is a great hobby of mine. I am also a dedicated skier and amateur baker.

What is a Maker Space?
… a space, often located in the school's library, which inspires students' creativity and innovation. The space provides self-directed opportunities to create, build, tinker, invent, and "make". Projects often include DYI, crafts, electronics/circuits, robotics, woodwork, building blocks, and in particularly fortunate cases, 3-D printing.
"How To" Videos
Stay tuned to see what our students create!
... In the meantime, we would like to fill our Maker Space with materials that inspire students to create!
Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. Big or small, every bit helps!
The following list describes some materials that would be ideal for our space:

Bombus terrestris is the first species of bumble bee to become established in Australia. Populations are successfully spreading throughout the island state of Tasmania, following an introduction in the early 1990s. However, there is considerable concern about the possible negative impacts bumble bees may have on Australian ecosystems.
