For the past five months, my boyfriend and I have been in an emotional whirlwind of failing to buy one property and (in the end successfully) purchasing another. While we had both said we wanted to buy a place together in the near future, it was my drunken clicking of the "arrange a viewing" button for a place we both loved that sped up the process slightly! Long story short, the flat we tried to buy between March-June ended up being a no-go, so I wanted to share my learnings with other first-time buyers, specifically in the bubble that is the London property market.
1) Be Head Over Heart, Not Head Over Heels
When Ned and I viewed the first flat of our dreams, where we saw warning signs we instead saw 'quirkiness' and 'character'. It was only after a supremely negative mortgage valuation and a super-expensive but thorough homebuyers' report that our cute coal vault/bedroom became quite obviously a barely legal spare storage cupboard.
We had so wanted to believe that all the little doubts in our minds were just first-time buyer nerves, but now we realize we should have thought with our heads and not our hearts. Ideally, walk around with the surveyor at the time of the homebuyers' report. This really helped to bring the report to life for us. I'd recommend choosing Gerry Brown (gb[at]consultantsurveyor.co.uk). He's pricey but we trust him 100%!
2) It's Not Over Until the Fat Lady Sings
Our estate agent emailed us saying "I am just waiting for [the seller] to confirm the date for completion. When it is, I will email both solicitors and let them know that's the agreed completion date." This all sounded fabulous, but we didn't 100% realize what was around the corner.
The day of exchange/completion came upon us, and ONLY THEN did we find out that our solicitor's queries had been ignored and instead a proposal was put forward for an "indemnity policy"... roll on lesson #3!
3) Be Wary of Indemnity Policies
The flat we wanted to buy had works done to it that were never signed off by building control. This essentially made the second 'bedroom' invalid and brought with it the risk of the local council asking us, as the new owners, to be financially liable for either completely re-doing it and (even worse) stopping us from making any further improvements to that part of the flat. For example, even trying to apply to the council to make the room legal would have INVALIDATED our mortgage. This means we were effectively buying a 1-bedroom flat for a 2-bed price. Also, most policies only protect your mortgage lender and not you so be very careful when agreeing to one!
4) Don't Hand Your Rental Notice in UNTIL Completion
At the end of May, we had no reason to suspect that the flat purchase would hit an obstacle. Yes, the seller's solicitors were taking a frigging age to answer the pressing issues my solicitor had raised, but we thought was standard practice. We tried to create a buffer of over 3 weeks between us completing and the confirmed end of our rental contract.
This would have been great if we had completed the flat purchase. But instead, the estate agents had already found a replacement couple for our flat and so we effectively were due to be homeless. If you learn one thing from our mistakes, just cough up the extra rent and don't make yourself homeless!
5) Consider Getting a 'Mortgage Agreement in Principle'
Before we had even placed an offer, we got an "Decision in Principle" arranged over the phone for us with London & Country Mortgages. What's great about them is they offer free, impartial advice and can serve as a broker with (seemingly anyway) your best interests in mind.
Yes, the estate agent will still ask to speak to you and go through details to substantiate your offer, but having this agreement a) helps clarify what your best offer can be and b) should put you in a stronger position if you're up against another buyer with no financial details ready to share.
6) Sign up for a 30-day free trial with Experian
I had no idea how many addresses were attached to my name until I had a free trial with Experian. It was also really useful to trawl through Money Saving Expert's website for tips on how to boost your credit rating.
7) Instant Property Alerts Are Your Best Friend
A London property can be under offer in just a couple of days, so you really need to have your wits about you when searching for prospective homes. Some estate agents deliberately withhold their listings from Zoopla and Right Move, so it's best to also sign up to the dominant agents in your area as well as the big search sites.
Other good sources of new properties are Tepilo (quality over quantity!), Prime Location and On The Market.
8) Know your LTV Ratio
A mere 1-5% difference in your loan-to-value ratio can open up vastly different interest rates from the big lenders. If you have any spare cash at your disposal (e.g. selling shares, waiting for a few more paychecks until you buy to fatten your deposit) my advice is to put as much as possible into the mortgage. Obviously, you'll need to ensure you have money left over to actually maintain your beautiful new home, but it's worth checking with the lender how even an extra £1000 deposit could change your mortgage terms.
9) Keep Your Mouth Shut
During one viewing, I was very open with the seller about our situation "oh yeah, we pulled out of our other property" and "we're just in the process of sorting out a different mortgage now based on a different deposit".... in hindsight, you should really be selective in terms of what you say to the seller as it can completely change their opinion of you. If in doubt, pipe down!
10) Be Cautious of Requests for Cold Hard Cash
We had placed an offer on a different property via Hampton's in London, and as this sale was in a chain of 4/5 other properties, they told us in no uncertain terms that we'd need to be willing to put down a £5000 payment ASAP. This was without any guarantees of getting it back should something happen outside of our control, and zero paperwork to sign. In the end, not immediately pandering to their requests cost us the flat as another couple were willing to cough up, but I'm glad we were cautious and didn't sign away a big chunk of our deposit without any guarantees.

What do you do when you need to be at the airport by 5am? Don't go to sleep at all, that's what! Yes, we were shattered but at least the trip to Positano (taxi, plane, two shuttle buses) went quickly as we dozed the whole way. After a transfer from positanoshuttle.com, we were shown to our apartment, Sirena 1 at Residence Alcione. This place is even better than in the photos. We paid more for a superior suite, and I'm so glad we did as we essentially got private use of a large terrace with sun loungers, beautiful plants and a patio table to boot. What really sets this place apart is the complimentary continental breakfast which is hand-delivered to your room at a time that suits you.
Collina Bakery was our first taste of authentic Italian pizza, and it didn't disappoint. The pizzas were so big we got two meals in one go, and ate the leftovers on our terrace that evening! The next day, Ned and I decided to pass the beach and keep edging along the coastal path to see what was there. We weren't disappointed! For the first time we were able to appreciate how clear the emerald ocean was (although didn't get a chance to go for a dip that day). La Marinella is a rustic beach bar/restaurant with a charming waiter who has quite the way with words!
That evening, we got to La Sirenuse a bit early for our 8pm dinner reservation at La Sponda and so ended up at their champagne and oyster bar. This rooftop terrace dripped with elegance and made me feel every inch the celebrity! After ordering a round of drinks, they brought us almonds, crisps and bountiful green olives unlike any I'd ever tasted. (side note: I need to find out what olives these were as they were SO tasty!)
Once our drinks were done with, we went down the staircase to La Sponda. Ned decided my trip-planning skills deserved some reward, and proceeded to pay for the chef's menu with a selection of wines with each plate (picture of the tasting menu here). The food was some of the best I've ever tasted (especially the veal sirloin and coconut macaroons at the end!) but what made it for me was the candlelit view accompanied by two men playing romantic music for the majority of the evening.
The next day, we were looking for something cheap and unfussy and Caffe Positano fit the bill perfectly. This place had slow service, but the view of Positano beach from high up on the hill made it worthwhile. We shared a buffalo mozzarella salad and a courgette tagliatelle, both of which were divine. One thing I really noticed in Italy is the tastiness of their cherry tomatoes. Each little bite has more taste than an entire box of salad tomatoes from back home! What made the meal even more memorable was witnessing some guy paragliding over Positano, and what felt like dangerously close to where we were eating!
La Tagliata was our destination for the evening. This family-run restaurant is almost nestled in the clouds it's so far up! As it's quite difficult to get to, upon reserving your table they ask where you're staying so they can pick you up in a complimentary shuttle. At 7.15pm, a shuttle turned up and we began ascending the mountains. We were greeted by Vincenzo, who explained to us upon arriving that there was no need to choose what to eat as a set menu cooked by "mama and papa". Thankfully another couple got up and left so we nabbed a table with a better view of the coastline. Despite the thunderstorms, there was an awesome, brooding tint to the evening that was a beautiful accompaniment to the great food and (even better) homemade 'Tagliata' wine. Oh, and if you're in any doubt, they do drop you off home at the end of it! For a price of ~35 Euros each, the food was well worth every penny.
Saturday was spent walking around the town once more, however by this point of the trip I had succumbed to a weird, odd, disgusting skin rash. "Polymorphous light eruption" basically means my porcelain white skin had forgotten that UV light can tan my skin.. instead, it thought it was being poisoned and initiated a way OTT response to protect my skin! To be fair, we couldn't tan much anyway as the thunderstorms started to descend late afternoon. And, before we knew it, we had to leave Positano behind for our one-night/one-day stay in Naples before our flight home.
You can track the places I visited in Positano using the nifty map below!
We went with the dependable www.positanoshuttle.com to get back to Naples on Sunday evening, and our hotel of choice was Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel. This hotel is pure luxury with a jacuzzi hot tub on the roof terrace complete with sun loungers, and also a jacuzzi bathtub in the bedroom. Even better, we were greeted with a free glass of prosecco. The hotel is also f***ing good at continental breakfast, delivering it to your room with beautifully made cappuccinos.
Although my first impressions of Naples were in stark contrast to the dream that is Positano, I really warmed to it as we meandered through the narrow streets and started to soak up the culture. I would really suggest just getting lost and finding your own 'Naples'.
So we were given two main recommendations by friends (not to mention our taxi driver!) which were a restaurant called Sorbillo and another nearby called Di Matteo. When we walked past, Di Matteo didn't seem to be a good place to dine in, as it looked like it was solely takeaway pizza. So, we decided to walk back up towards Sorbillo.... however, we ended up in the copycat restaurant!!! Not to worry, the pizza was 6 euros and tasty, but trust us to get pizza wrong in Naples :/
For others looking for a good pizza place in Naples, I would probably err on the side of caution and go to this Sorbillo, and only try the 'copycat' if the other one is busy :)
Having lived in Highbury, North London for almost a year now, I'm still astonished by how little I know about the surrounding area. As part of my quest to use my time more wisely in 2015 (less couch potato time, more time exploring), I decided to spend my Sunday afternoon walking along the southern part of Parkland Walk Local Nature Reserve, from Finsbury Park to Highgate. We live just a few minutes' walk from Finsbury Park, which is where the southern part of the walk begins (Tired of London, Tired of Life have a handy map here).
1) As we live south of the park, we took a quick detour through it, past the flying rats (aka pigeons):
2) To get to the start of the trail we headed across the Oxford Road Gate from the north-western part of Finsbury Park:
3) Turn right and you'll see a sign, with the next stops listed as Upper Tollington Park, wih the walk ending at Highgate via Crouch Hill.
4) Along the way towards Crouch Hill, it's basically mud, mud and more mud.... and some vibrant graffiti:
5) One of the best finds along the route was the former train platforms of Crouch End railway station. While the train station building has since been demolished, it was really surreal to walk through:
6) Following from this awesome find, you'll see a plaque which tells you a bit more about the history of the park itself:
Once you've completed the walk, I would formally suggest a quick drink at the Boogaloo, or if you walk up Jacksons Lane you'll get to Highgate High Street where you can pop into the Duke's Head or the Angel Inn for a well-earned lunch! We'll definitely visit Parkland Walk again in the spring, and next time aim for Alexandra Palace :)
Last week I had no plans for 2015, and yet now I have two works trips abroad booked and a Paris city break planned with my boyfriend. The trip I'm most looking forward to is Paris, of course! There's still over two months to go, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to plan where to stay, what to see and most importantly what to wear.

It's been almost a year since we moved to the N5 area (between Highbury and Finsbury Park). In that time I've seen a few new businesses pop up and seriously think it's only a matter of time before it becomes the next up-and-coming London neighbourhood to watch.
What I love most about the area is that N5 has only a handful of chains and the majority of local businesses are one-off London gems. The N5 area is also super close to the hip and hippy Stoke Newington, and Clissold Park is just two minutes' walk away too. See below for my Highbury area guide:
Green Spaces: Within the grounds of Clissold Park is the impressive Clissold House, as well as a deer enclosure, butterfly dome (although it's currently devoid of butterflies), tennis courts, a skate park and two large lakes. Ok, it's absolutely pissing it down outside right now, but I firmly believe it's one of the best places to run in London when the sun is shining! What's also great about N5 is that you have Finsbury Park about ten minutes' walk up Blackstock Road, so there's no shortage of greenery, and absolutely no excuses for not heading out for a jog (of course, with exception of the rain)!
Brunch Heaven: Since we moved in, a couple of very on-trend cafés have opened up in the local area. On Blackstock Road is Frank's Canteen, which I've reviewed over at Yelp as well. As you can see from the photos below, the food is pretty extraordinary.
Also recently opened is the unique Fink's Salt and Sweet Deli. I walk past this place everyday and while they have a loyal lunch crowd (especially at weekends), it also welcomes a few local trendsetters in the evenings for some low-key glasses of wine.
Another fave of mine (which I don't have photos of yet) is the Blackstock Kitchen. We always go for the chicken & avocado sandwich and a tuna & sweetcorn toasted sarnie to share. Very friendly staff, a nice local feel and some space outside to enjoy the sun, whenever it comes out!
Furniture Shops: Gathering Moss is a beautifully kitted out shop featuring shelving units and bench tables made from reclaimed wood, trinkets, candles and general boho chicery. Ned and I actually found our much-loved bench table from this shop, and the shop staff actually delivered it to our flat within 30 minutes of purchasing! There's also a hidden-away furniture shop called Bennet & Brown which sells gorgeous pendant lamps, 20th-century trinkets and wooden furniture.
Other Places to Try:
Primeur - This place was initially hard to book as you had to go in person days before you'd decided to eat there, but they now have a Twitter account to take bookings (@primeurbookings). I haven't been to this restaurant yet, but will definitely take advantage of this and book asap!
Garufa - An Argentine grill that does the best brunch, as per my Yelp review, and they've also recently started advertising Malbec Monday's where they offer all wine bottles at 50% off. I hate Mondays but love Malbec so need to give it a go.
Exeter Street Bakery - I spotted this when I walked north of Finsbury Park the other day, and the bread looks world-class!
Cafe Vintage - The food varies in quality but even so I really appreciate having a quirky, multi-purpose business down the road. This non-chain cafe always has great seasonal window displays, nice coffee and the odd piece of clothing to buy too.
Seasons and Blossoms - Kaleidoscopic selection of organic fruit, veg and they even sell 'biodynamic' bananas! Will definitely go back again to try out their coffee.
La Fromagerie - They often have events, but of course the main draw of this place is their locally made cheese and wine selection.

How Not to Match
5 Ways to Minimize Your Chances of Obtaining a Desirable Residency
1) Get a DUI
Let's face it, medical students drink. Each year a few will take it too far and end up with a DUI, public intoxication, or other less desirable charges. Many residency program directors carefully evaluate the "Risk/Reward" ratio when accepting residents, and any hint of pre-existing substance abuse is a big red flag. Whether it was a one-time slip up, or a pattern of reckless behavior, any criminal charges can make it difficult to get into your desired residency program or even specialty of choice.
2) Lie on your application (and get caught)
Dishonesty is not one of the key personality traits residencies are looking for in their applicants. Even the larger specialties tend to have a very small circle of program directors. Word gets around. Be very careful about how much "elaboration" you decide to include on your application.
3) Blow the interview
Not everyone has the charisma to interview well, but all residency applicants should have the social skills to not completely blow it. Make sure you spend some time on the programs website and talking to residents at the dinner. Think of at least 1 intelligent question to ask in order to sound interested. Under no circumstances be rude, condensing, or abrasive to the program coordinator, secretary, or any other ancillary staff. Your interview begins with the e-mail you send the program accepting the interview. At most programs the residency coordinator holds the power to get your application thrown out if you are disrespectful!
4) Try to couples match into Dermatology/Orthopedics or other ridiculous combos
Contrary to popular belief, couples matching, when done in a smart and reasonable way does not decrease your chance of a successful match. However, attempting to couples match into two extremely competitive specialties can sometimes be quite difficult. In order to couples match successfully you need to generate as many different rank combinations as possible, and to do this you need lots of interviews each. If you each only get 2 interviews in the same city, then it's starting to get risky. There are ways to use a transition or research year to mitigate this risk and still end up together in the same city in your desired specialty the following year
5) Suffer delusions of grandeur
Some students have a hard time setting reasonable goals. It can be hard for preceptors to sit down with students and try to dissuade them from their dream of being a plastic surgeon. Even if they have no research, nearly failed their surgery rotation, and took 3 tries to pass step 1. Be realistic and honest with yourself. Don't forget you can apply to match in multiple specialties. Give plastic surgery a try, but also submit an application to your second choice specialty, just in case. Even if you're a competitive applicant, ranking only the top 3 internal medicine programs in the country can be a mistake. When deciding to rank a program or not you have to ask yourself, "Would I rather take a year off and do research than match here?" If the answer is no, then they should be on your list somewhere.

Creamy and luscious no churn Strawberry Shortcake Icecream is a perfect treat for warm summer days. Homemade ice cream that tastes better than the store-bought ones.
Summer picking of strawberries has begun. A family trip to the strawberries farm is always exciting and a treat in itself. Our last visit to the farms yielded buckets full of strawberries. So, what do I intend to do with all those strawberries? No Churn Strawberry Shortcake Icecream
Ice Cream!
Ah… ice cream, the most loved and adored dessert in the world. Seducing anyone with almost any flavor, ice cream is one of the most versatile recipes. Some even go as far as to claim that ice cream is the best thing humanity has ever created.
One such flavor in a barrage of others that stands out is the strawberry flavor. Its subtle taste allows almost anyone of any age to enjoy it.
So to beat the summer heat, I am making a rich and creamy homemade strawberry ice cream. This strawberry ice cream can be customized with almost any flavor, from strawberry cheesecake to chocolate strawberry. But today, I have the perfect recipe – No Churn Strawberry Shortcake Icecream!
If not, then you should give this one a try. It is a complete game changer. It's-
- easy to make,
- delicious,
- perfectly smooth,
- velvety, No Churn Strawberry Shortcake Icecream
- and is bursting with fresh fruit flavor. Overall, it's the real thing – refreshing, smooth and a fun way to eat your seasonal fruits!
This recipe incorporates two delicious things into one – homemade fresh strawberry sauce and a shortcake. These both, when fused, creates an optimal blend of taste and delicious ice cream. And to top it off, the cake is entirely eggless making it the perfect thing for a lot of diets.
The first step involved in this strawberry shortcake ice cream is to make the shortcake. It's a multi-tasking recipe – while the cake is baking, prepare the strawberry sauce. To save time, the store-bought strawberry sauce can be used. The base for no-churn vanilla ice cream is a pretty standard one. Heavy whipping cream + milk powder + condensed milk + salt + essence creates the most creamy and smooth ice cream. The result is phenomenal!
When the shortcake is thoroughly cooled, add it to the base along with chopped strawberries. Finish it with a generous swirl of strawberry sauce and freeze until set.
Shortcake is a term applied for tender, crumbly cakes. Technically speaking, it is a cake made of biscuit dough, but for this recipe, I decided to make a homemade eggless pound cake for my ice cream. Trust me; shortcake is the perfect choice for this ice cream. Just adding a few pieces of these delicious cakes will enlighten your ice cream.
This shortcake is a perfect addition to any scenario, whether you're enjoying a small little ice cream cone or your eating a strawberry sundae. Easily adaptable with other fresh fruits for summer.
The softness of shortcake, the crunch of fresh strawberries and the creaminess of ice cream combined is unbelievably the BEST! This shortcake ice cream is one of the best I have ever made in a long time. I can rant about it all day long but try for yourself and decide!
If you happen to make this no churn strawberry shortcake ice cream, then please comment below and leave your feedback. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Would love to hear from you. ?

- 1 lb Fresh or frozen Strawberries
- 2.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- - - A pinch of Salt
- 3 cups Homemade Whipped cream
- 1 can or 14 oz Sweetened Condensed milk
- - - A pinch of Salt

- When the cake has cooled completely, cut it into small cubes.
- Transfer whipped cream to a bowl.
- Now fold in the condensed milk, milk powder, and strawberry extract.
- Mix the ingredients together slowly.

The HEDNO (Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator S.A. http://www.deddie.gr/ ) was established in April 2012 with the secession of the Distribution sector of PPC S.?. in accordance with Law 4001/2011 and in compliance with EU Directive 2009/72/EC. It is a 100% subsidiary of PPC S.?., however it is independent functionally and administratively, in compliance with all the requirements of independence incorporated in the above legal framework. HEDNO's tasks comprise the operation, maintenance and development of the electricity distribution network in Greece in order to ensure transparent and non-discriminatory access of all consumers and more generally of all users of the network. In order to improve service quality as expressed by energy quality indices (number of failures, time of restoration, quality of voltage waveforms, etc.) along with the reduction of the operating cost and the increase of productivity, important investments in the network have been made in order to:
- Increase network efficiency in order to supply the continuously increasing demand
- Enhance network reliability and decrease losses by construction of new lines and substations and upgrade of existing ones.
- Introduce operation automation (installation of remote metering and remote control systems)
- Construction of networks compatible to societal requirements (taking care of the harmonization of new constructions with the natural and built environment).

The Brick Chronicles feature unique creations made with Lego® bricks. Hopefully you, and the children in your life, will find them as inspiring as I do!
A few mornings ago, I was working with A to reinforce multiplication facts and was introducing the concept of area, while using graph paper and legos. We had the legos out and that drew the attention of the other two boys. Since C is only six, he gets a pass when it comes to a lot of formal learning…especially now that he is reading chapter books. I tend to let him have a lot more leeway with the type of work that he does. So, when he started playing with the legos, I told him that he had to do something with math. Otherwise, he had free reign. I was envisioning him adding the dots to make numbers, but then he busted out the above addition problem.
"It's backwards," my husband whispers to me. Yes and no. He is actually demonstrating a great way of re-writing the problem…something many elementary teachers will recognize. Kids need to become comfortable with the quantities and learn to play with the numbers and numerals – not just memorize the way it's set up in their math book. He placed the equal sign on the left, but the problem was correct : 8 + 2 = 10.
Now, I just need to figure out how to make ALL math lessons this intuitive and self-directed. I'm working on it.

Designers brought the Midcentury Modern look to life in this newly redesigned home with a Broyhill Brasilia dining table and a custom banquette covered in gray tweed. The modern dining chairs were repurposed and recovered, with three of them coming to rest around the dining table and the fourth finding its home under the newly commissioned painting of Alexander Hamilton by Mike Johnson. To complete the space, designers hung a cubist light fixture and had a local artist custom paint the walls to put the finishing touches on the Midcentury Modern dining room.
A modern aesthetic flows through this dining room complete with red chairs and a wooden table. The wall features paneling and a mural of cherry blossoms.
A trio of tangerine-colored Knoll dining chairs surround a petite Saarinen tulip table in this sleek, urban dining nook. The grouping, topped by a modern halo pendant, is situated to take advantage of the view and create a pretty vignette that's on view from the great room and galley kitchen.

The environment minister, Ben Bradshaw, and the constitutional affairs secretary, Lord Falconer, both spoke out yesterday against an exemption for the Catholic church in regulations that are due to come into force in England and Wales on April 6.
In search of a compromise, Number 10 and Ms Kelly, a strong Catholic, had suggested that faith groups might be given an exemption, but would have a duty to refer gay and lesbian couples to other agencies that would help them. The Catholic agencies might also have a duty to form a partnership with other agencies.
Ms Kelly has also been looking at an as yet unspecified transition period for Catholic agencies to comply with the anti-discrimination law, or the possibility of requiring Catholic adoption agencies to merge with existing agencies. There is concern in her department, and in Number 10, that Catholic adoption agencies might choose to close if they were forced to refer children to gay couples immediately from April, leaving a gap in provision.
Catholic adoption agencies accounted for around 4% of the 2,900 children put up for adoption last year, many of them older and more difficult to place. Catholics argue that their strong opposition to abortion places a higher moral duty on them to be willing to adopt, or to act as agencies for adoption. They have been willing to place children with single gay parents, but not couples.
Lord Falconer told BBC One's Sunday AM programme: "We have introduced laws which prevent discrimination against people on the basis of their sexual orientation. Those laws should be given full effect. We take the view in this country that you shouldn't be discriminated against. That applies to everybody."
Number 10 argues that if the primary interest is the protection of children, it is best that the reform is introduced in a gradual way that does not see the disappearance of Catholic adoption agencies. Hardliners argue that if the agencies fold it will not be due to a lack of demand, but to decisions by Catholic bishops.
In response to the furore, Ms Kelly issued a statement insisting that no decisions had been made. "The debate around better protection on the basis of sexual orientation has been beset by wild speculation," she said. "There have been absurd claims, for example that ministers of religion will be forced to bless same-sex couples. There is no question of preferential treatment for an individual faith."
Tony Blair will meet senior backbench figures this week as well as cabinet ministers to try to find a compromise. He has already had one full-blown argument with members of Labour's elected backbench parliamentary committee last Wednesday, including its vice-chairwoman, Angela Eagle. Conflicting pressure is coming from the Scottish executive, which is worried by the impact on the Scottish Catholic Labour vote.
The regulations on adoption need to be passed by the Commons and House of Lords before April. The Lords passed the regulations for Northern Ireland last week by 199 votes to 68, suggesting that there is no parliamentary roadblock.
Mr Bradshaw, who is gay, said yesterday: "This is an issue of equality. It's exactly the same as saying you can't have a child for adoption because you're black, or because you're a woman, or because you're disabled."

Thanks everyone. I haven't been around in a bit, sick again. It seems to be a bad few months!!!! This time my lovely granddaughter decided to share her cold which promptly went to my ears and gave me vertigo! Antibiotics given were too strong so I got sick on them, finally a common Zpack and meclazine for the dizziness. Well you know what else happens with too many antibiotices- intestinal distress and I was sooooo distressed! After three days off work I think I'm on the mend now, thank goodness but guess who has the cold now!!??? The poor dear husband!

CRM Timeline
Lauren Carlson over at Software Advice, has created a great interactive timeline showing the growth of CRM software over the last 3 decades. It's very interesting to see how much has changed over the last 30 years and I can't wait to see what happens in the next 30! Keep an eye on it, as it will be updated over time.
Internet Explorer 9 – First Impressions
I've just downloaded and installed the public beta of the next version of Internet Explorer, IE9 and wanted to share my first impressions.
Once installed, the first noticeable difference is how minimal the interface has become. The address bar and tabs section seem to take up roughly 66% less screen space, since the address bar, search box and tabs are now all located on the same row. As I usually have a lot of pages open, I didn't think I'd like the repositioning of the tabs, but it really hasn't caused me any problems.
The next thing I noticed is the speed. It really flies. Microsoft have added GPU acceleration to IE9, so a lot of image rendering is now performed by your graphics card rather than your CPU.
Another great new feature, is the ability to add web shortcuts to your taskbar. You just drag the favicon from the address bar to your taskbar to create a shortcut. This is great if you want quick access to applications such as your email and it really feels like you're launching an app rather than a browser.
Checking SQL table sizes
I wanted a way to find which tables were using the most storage in my SQL databases. The stored procedure sp_spaceused will show this data for a single table, but I wanted to view every table at once. The below SQL query will run against any SQL 2005 database and show you it's table sizes in descending order. As expected, the ActivityMimeAttachment table in my CRM database was pretty huge!
SELECT sys.schemas.[name] AS [Schema], sys.tables.name AS [Table], COALESCE([Row Count].[Count], 0) AS [Rows],COALESCE(8192 * [Data Pages].[Count],0) AS [Data Bytes], COALESCE(8192 * [Index Pages].[Count],0) AS [Index Bytes] FROM sys.tables INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON sys.schemas.schema_id = sys.tables.schema_id LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT object_id,SUM(rows) AS [Count] FROM sys.partitions WHERE index_id < 2 GROUP BY object_id) AS [Row Count] ON [Row Count].object_id = sys.tables.object_id LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT sys.indexes.object_id,SUM(CASE WHEN a.type <> 1 THEN a.used_pages WHEN p.index_id < 2 THEN a.data_pages ELSE 0 END) AS [Count] FROM sys.indexes INNER JOIN sys.partitions AS p ON p.object_id = sys.indexes.object_id AND p.index_id = sys.indexes.index_id INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units AS a ON a.container_id = p.partition_id GROUP BY sys.indexes.object_id) AS [Data Pages] ON [Data Pages].object_id = sys.tables.object_id LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT sys.indexes.object_id,SUM(a.used_pages - CASE WHEN a.type <> 1 THEN a.used_pages WHEN p.index_id < 2 THEN a.data_pages ELSE 0 END) AS [Count] FROM sys.indexes INNER JOIN sys.partitions AS p ON p.object_id = sys.indexes.object_id AND p.index_id = sys.indexes.index_id INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units AS a ON a.container_id = p.partition_id GROUP BY sys.indexes.object_id) AS [Index Pages] ON [Index Pages].object_id = sys.tables.object_id ORDER BY [Data Bytes] desc
CRM pop-ups in new tabs
With Internet Explorer, you have the option to open all pop ups in a new tab rather than a new window. I find this works great for CRM, particularly when working inside different organisations. I can keep my development organisation and all pop ups in one IE instance and my live instance in another. You can find the option to do this under IEToolsInternet Options and click the Settings button under the Tabs section on the General tab.
CRM iPhone homescreen icon
I sometimes like to check up on cases and activities from my iPhone and have a homescreen shortcut to our CRM mobile express site. By default, Dynamics CRM does not have an iPhone icon, so I created one for myself here. If you'd like to use it, download it, save it as apple-touch-icon.png and drop it into your CRM web root folder (mine is c:inetpubwwwroot). When you next navigate to your CRM mobile express site, add it to your homecreen and it will display a much prettier icon.

The stage is almost set for this year's governorship election in Cross River State on Saturday between two of the strongest political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate/incumbent governor, Prof. Senator Benedict Ayade and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator John Owan-Enoh.
SEE ALSO: CRSHA 2019: Catalog Of Hon. Dr. Itam Abang's Four Years Stewardship
Both candidate possesses the capability to pilot the affairs of the state, however, only one person will be elected by the people in Cross River with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) on Saturday.
The talking point has shifted from their usually political campaign rallies to the main stage where the mighty shall know their fate from the moment the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) set the ball rolling on Saturday by 8am to 2pm when the whole process would have been concluded.
It's not a matter of who has the highest party members or followers but the choice of the people to decide who should lead them in the next four years.
There is no doubt that governor Ayade has transform Cross River State with his developmental policies, which could be seen from the rapid growth of things in the state within the three and half years that he has spent in the helm of affairs.
But Prof. Ben Ayade has said that no one has the clout to defeat him, claiming that he has done well since he came on board. To him, all the on-going capital projects with numerous appointments given to youths will speak volume for him when the time for reckoning comes. The governor said he was not worried about his re-election in 2019, adding that the issue of his re-election a for second term was a done deal. Ayade stated that: "If you ask me if I'm worried about my re-election, I will tell you I all."
Using the power of intellect, Governor Ayade within the last three and half years has put Cross River on a path of sustainable growth. The 260 km dual-carriage Calabar-Katsina-Ala superhighway, the biggest road project to be conceived and commenced in that section of the country is one of the signature projects of the Ayade Administration. The purposefulness of the superhighway was not lost on President Muhammadu Buhari who did not mind political differences to give his endorsement to the project. The $3.5 billion highway will be by far Nigeria's most sophisticated road with speed cameras and Wi-Fi internet connectivity.
The Calabar Garment Factory reputed as the largest garment factory in the world by floor size.
Gov Ayade's on a familiar terrain and will do everything possible to ensure that he remain in the mantle of authority for another four years.
On the other hand, the APC governorship candidate, Owan-Enoh, who was once a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before defecting to his present party, also understand the trend and terrain when it comes to governance, having represented Cross River Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly as a senator.
Within his two years in the senate, he had done 44 water projects, 12 roads and culverts, attracted employment opportunities to so many youths of the constituents and so far 4,023 have benefited from his education support intervention scheme across the 66 wards of his senatorial districts.
One key thing that might work in Owan-Enoh's favour would be the presence of the 'powers that be' in Nigeria's politics, which has been reflected in some of the Governorship elections that has been conducted in 2018 in states such as Ekiti and Osun State respectively.
Owan-Enoh is also expected to have that financial backup from some of the key players in the party such as the National leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President Muhammadu Buhari, National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to mention a few.
Meanwhile, Owan Enoh disclosed that zoning will not save Ayade. He said the zoning formula which the incumbent governor claimed to hinge upon will not help his re-election bid for second term.
"I am running this election to win and to change the narrative in our dear state. I have traversed the state and what I can say is that the people are ready for a change in leadership in the state.
"The unprecedented reception I have received from the people of the northern senatorial district is a demonstration of the fact that the people are tired with the present administration.
"The present administration has not made impact since elected into office in 2015. We have lost order and leadership in the state between 2015 till date.
"Together as a party, we will rescue the state and restore its glory; that is why our campaign is tagged "Better Days are Possible again in Cross River,'' he said.
It is yet to be seen who would eventually win the mandate of the people after Saturday's governorship election, however, the coming days would unravel the next governor that will pilot the affairs of Cross River State.

Wenlok jug back on public display at Stockwood Discovery Centre
A 14th Century jug, stolen last year from a Luton museum, has gone back on public display.
The Wenlok jug, worth £750,000, was taken from Stockwood Discovery centre in May 2012.
It was recovered by Bedfordshire Police the following September at a property in Tadworth, Surrey.
Director of museums Karen Perkins said she was "thrilled" when it was returned but security needed to be assessed before it went back on view.
The bronze jug, decorated with coats-of-arms and inscribed with the words "My Lord Wenlok", is believed to be one of only three similar jugs in the UK.
It is thought it was made for either William Wenlock, who died in 1391 and was canon of St Paul's Cathedral, or his great-nephew John, the first Lord Wenlock, who was a major figure in the 15th Century.
'Treasured artefact'
A £25,000 reward was offered for the jug, which was found after an investigation that captured national attention and featured on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.
It was returned to the museum in September 2012.
Ms Perkins said: "We are delighted that such a treasured artefact is going back on display for the whole community to enjoy.
"We have taken our time to make absolutely sure that all necessary measures have been put in place to keep the Wenlok jug safe and secure, here, where it belongs."
Bedfordshire Police said while a man had been jailed for his part in the theft, no-one had ever been charged with stealing the jug and for now they had come to the end of their inquiry.
Ronald Nash, 23, from Tadworth, was found guilty of handling stolen goods and supplying cocaine at Luton Crown Court in February and jailed for three years and three months.
"If anyone comes up with fresh evidence we will investigate," a spokeswoman said.

Ways to win Powerball Lottery
With a $425 million Powerball jackpot now up for grabs Wednesday night, people are lining up across the country with dreams of money, money, money.
In 2006, eight meatpacking workers — called the "Nebraska 8″ — struck gold in Lincoln, Neb., with a single ticket chosen by a computer. They won $365 million — the biggest lottery payout in U.S. history.
Seven of the eight winners still live in Lincoln. One person lives an hour away in Omaha.
"They really haven't changed that much at all, " said Eric Zornes, one of the Nebraska 8.
Michael Terpstra took a $15 million lump sum and bought an unassuming $470, 000 home.
Single lady Chastity Rutjens got married a few years ago to Rob Stewart, another one of the lucky eight. His ex-wife got half of his earnings.
Dave Gehle, a sanitation supervisor, showed up to work for three weeks after he won.
"We couldn't just leave them in a bind, " he told ABC News.
Gehle said he took several vacations, bought a Nissan and sold his two-bedroom home for a house with three bedrooms.
Quang Dao, a refugee from Vietnam, used his money in Vietnam, where he built homes for his children.
It was covered in the documentary "Lucky." He now lives a simple, yet slightly more lavish life in Lincoln. His wife still grows her own vegetables.
For Americans hoping to score big like the Nebraska 8, experts shared these tips with ABC News today:
- Quick Picks and personal numbers have the same chance of winning — one in 175 million.
- The only way to increase the chances of winning the Powerball is to buy more tickets.
- However, the more people buy tickets, the worse a person's chances get.
- Search for lotteries that have smaller jackpots because they cause smaller frenzies.
- Stay away from common lucky numbers like 3, 7 and 11 as well as numbers under 31 because they could be popular calendar dates like birthdays and anniversaries and would mean sharing the jackpot.

Thermomix – An Effective Social Marketing Model
Thermomix lays claim to being the most advanced kitchen appliance on the global market.
Built with German precision the Thermomix mills, chops, mixes, emulsifies, kneads, stirs, steams, weighs, melts, blends and cooks. It has only been in Australia for 15 years, but has already racked up approx 200k customers and reportedly generates an average revenue of $25.6 million p.a.
But don't be surprised if you haven't heard of it. The company uses a grass-roots selling approach that combines the age-old Tupperware party model with tried and proven direct marketing techniques and the latest social media tools. As a customer-marketing-specialist-slash-new-Thermomix-customer, I've been privy to the unique customer experience that is likely to have been instrumental to the success of the company to date, not just in Australia but around the world. It's an interesting business model that might provide some food-for-thought for your own marketing activities. Here are my observations to date…
1. The Party Plan
Thermomix uses a face-to-face selling approach where prospects and customers hold sizable dinner parties at their homes and a Thermomix Rep prepares a six course meal over the space of a couple of hours.
This is not dissimilar to the Tupperware direct selling method which became famous in the 1950s. Women hosted parties in their homes where they shared the marvel of Tupperware with family and friends and were rewarded for their time and effort. Guests then went on to host their own parties and spread the word amongst their own networks.
2. Direct Selling Techniques
Thermomix effectively uses tried and proven direct marketing techniques to engage and build relationships with customers from consideration to purchase and beyond. Examples include:
- Exclusive product: The Thermomix is sold exclusively through its network of reps; so unless people are ready to have a personal relationship with the company, it's unobtainable.
- Benefits: The focus is on the benefits of the product which helps to overshadow the price-tag of nearly $2000.
- Soft-sell approach: Their focus is to get as many people as possible seeing the product in action within a comfortable social setting, rather than getting the sale on the day.
- Capturing data: All attendees are asked to share their contact details and thoughts regarding the demo along with their level of interest. All prospects are followed-up at relevant intervals by the Thermomix rep.
- Strong offers: There's always an incentive to buy now even though it's done softly-softly.
- Payment plan: They offer limited time , no or low interest payment plans to help minimise the budget obstacle.
- Customer-get-customer: They motivate new customers to host a home-demo within three months of purchase with money-can't-buy incentives so that they can unleash all the excitement that new customers have for their product, on their peers.
- A personal customer experience: Starting with the purchase, the rep hand-delivers the product, spends a couple of hours teaching the new customer how to use it (we made pizza dough and vege stock) and makes a few basic meals. The rep also encourages their customers to call them directly whenever they have a question regarding the Thermomix or a recipe. And importantly when you do call, they're quick to respond or help out as needed.
- Ongoing exclusive offers: Customers are continually invited to host more parties with exclusive incentives such as top quality, highly aspirational complementary products at affordable prices, which are only available for a limited time.
3. Social Channels
The Thermomix business model has a strong focus on community-building, both on and offline.
- Online: There are many different channels being used where customers are actively engaging with the community by sharing recipes and posting pictures of their creations, providing feedback and assisting each other to solve the foodie challenges they face. This customer engagement is visible on Facebook (As at May 2016, they have 221k friends in Australia), Twitter (6795 followers), Instagram (36.6k followers) and Pinterest (20.6k followers) as well as via the Thermomix recipe community and forum. They also have a whole host of engaged cooks and chefs who have fallen in love with the product and blog their original Thermomix recipes out to their own networks.
- Offline: Thermomix run very affordable cooking classes to further nurture that community feeling amongst Thermomix customers and to help them to get the most out of their product.
I'm sure I'll make many more observations along my own personal journey with Thermomix but it seems to me that this is a company that backs-up a high quality product with a customer-is-king attitude using the best of traditional and modern selling and relationship-building techniques at all stages of the customer lifecycle – all translating into a very healthy business model.

From the letter:
As enacted, the PPACA contains multiple provisions authorizing federal subsidies for abortion, and additional provisions on which future abortion-expanding regulatory mandates may be based. Many of the abortion-subsidizing provisions of the legislation are detailed in an NRLC affidavit posted on our website here, and further documented in other materials posted here.
In addition, the PPACA contains multiple provisions that will, if fully implemented, result in government-imposed rationing of lifesaving medical care. Among the most dangerous:
- The department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be empowered to impose so-called "quality and efficiency" measures on health care providers, based on recommendations by the Independent Payment Advisory Board, which is directed to force private health care spending below the rate of medical inflation. In many cases treatment that a doctor and patient deem needed or advisable to save that patient's life or preserve or improve the patient's health but which runs afoul of the imposed standards will be denied, even if the patient wants to pay for it.
- The law empowers HHS to prevent older Americans from making up with their own funds for the $555 billion the law cuts from Medicare by refusing to permit senior citizens the choice of private-fee-for-service plans whose premiums are sufficient to provide unrationed care but which HHS, in its unlimited discretion, disallows. The Obama health care law could thus lead to elimination of the only way that seniors will have to escape rationing -- by limiting their right to spend their own money to save their own lives.
Detailed information on these and other components that will result in rationing is available here.
- The law instructs and authorizes state bureaucrats to limit the value of the insurance policies that Americans may purchase. Not only will the exchanges exclude policies from competing in an exchange when government authorities do not agree with their premiums, but the exchanges will even exclude insurers whose plans outside the exchange offer consumers the ability to reduce the danger of treatment denial by spending what those government authorities claim to be an "excessive or unjustified" amount. This will create a "chilling effect," deterring insurers who hope to compete within the exchanges from offering adequately funded plans even outside of them, so that consumers will find it increasingly difficult to obtain health insurance that offers adequate and unrationed health care.
To summarize: The law is so riddled with provisions that violate right-to-life principles that it cannot simply be patched. It must be repealed, and any replacement legislation must contain all necessary safeguards for the right to life of the most vulnerable members of the human family.

This Day in Georgia History
June 18, 1807
Northern Boundary Dispute
Commissioners from Georgia and North Carolina agreed to recognize 35°N as the mutual boundary of the two states and "to run and mark the line [35th parallel] accordingly; which line, when ascertained and completed with joint concurrence, shall forever after be regarded as the line of separation and boundary between the two states." Commissioners, however, were unable to agree on where the 35th parallel should be marked. North Carolina's legislature ratified the agreement, while Georgia's would not. Faulty surveying later would mark the 35th parallel south of its true location for almost all of Georgia's northern boundary. Since then, both North Carolina and Tennessee have insisted on the surveyed boundary rather than true 35°N. To this day, Georgia law continues to prescribe the 35th parallel as the state's northern boundary. If this boundary were observed, a good portion of southern Chattanooga, Tenn. would fall within the jurisdiction of Georgia. Perhaps more importantly, in view of recent droughts and the uncertain future for Atlanta's water supply, the northwest tip of Georgia would fall in the middle of the Tennessee River, giving Georgia access to water from the river. In recent years, Georgia has tried to get Tennessee to recognize the 35th parallel as the true boundary separating the two states - but Tennessee refuses to negotiate on the matter.

The other day, I received an email telling me that my novel, The Watcher, won an international competition for unpublished authors in the Young Adult and Teen Fiction genre.
This award is presented by a small publishing company, and the prize is publication.
Since my novel is already being published, I had to withdraw from the competition. I know it's bad form to say someone validates your work when it's out of context (such as in a private email, or a critique group), but I was so honored to receive recognition in any form, that I wanted to share it with you. And to be on the safe side, I'm not disclosing any names.
So here is my glass of champagne (or sparkling apple juice if you are abstaining). Feel free to celebrate with me.
Stay tuned to this site for my upcoming cover reveal on July 2nd.

NuSmile NeoMTA Technical Support
Can I use a paper pad to mix the Powder and Gel?
What is the best mixing method?
What is the proper Powder/Gel ratio?
My Powder/Gel mixture is sticky, what should I do?
What should I use – NuSmile NeoMTA Gel or water?
What is the best instrument to use to place NuSmile NeoMTA into the pulp chamber when performing a pulpotomy?
What is the best instrument to place NuSmile NeoMTA for root-end filling?(Apexification or Pulpectomy where there is no successor tooth)
Should I refrigerate the kit or its components?
What kind of mixing instrument should I use?
Use a fairly stiff metal spatula. Metal spatulas allow easier mixing and faster incorporation of the Powder and Gel than plastic spatulas.
How do I clean up NuSmile NeoMTA after it is set?
Soak the glass slab or instrument in vinegar until the cement starts to soften.
What is the composition of the Gel component of NuSmile NeoMTA?
The Gel is a water-based (>50% water) liquid. In addition to water, the other components of the Gel are proprietary ingredients that NuSmile does not disclose. These components are known to be non-allergenic and non-sensitizing. All of the components have been used successfully in other medical implanted devices. In implantation tests, no issues of biocompatibility were detected with in the Gel. When mixed in the recommended ratio (3 parts Powder: 1 part Gel), each proprietary component of the Gel will be present at a concentration of less than 5% of the total mixture.
What if I mix NuSmile NeoMTA and it dries out?
Add some Gel to break up the matrix and get the consistency you want. This works well within the first hour after mixing. Alternatively, cover the mixed MTA with a moist gauze "tent" or a petri dish.
How long does it take NuSmile NeoMTA to set?
When the powder is mixed to a putty-like consistency using the gel, washout resistance is achieved in about 3 minutes after mixing has begun. For putty-like mixtures, initial set occurs in 15 minutes in vivo, while final set occurs within 50 minutes. For thinner mixtures these times are extended with final set typically achieved within 3 hours. The procedure can be continued and completed immediately after the material is placed.
Can I place a composite or glass ionomer over the NuSmile NeoMTA to secure it in the pulp chamber?
Yes, this is an easy and quick way to secure the MTA. Although not required due to NeoMTA's quick wash-out resistance, you can place a light curable flowable composite or glass ionomer over NuSmile NeoMTA to secure it in the pulp chamber or treated area. If you use a flowable composite that requires etching, etch the tooth, not the MTA. Then proceed with the rest of the restoration on top of the flowable material. You can also use ZOE paste to secure the NuSmile NeoMTA.
Can I place the pulp cap and complete the restoration before NuSmile NeoMTA is completely set?
Yes, you can place the cap and complete the restoration immediately after placing NeoMTA. NuSmile NeoMTA will harden/set underneath the material used to secure it.
What is the shelf life of NuSmile NeoMTA?
The Kits have a 3-year shelf life from their manufacturing date. Don't leave the Powder or Gel containers open. The Powder's shelf-life is primarily dictated by humidity absorption. This reduces the shelf life by increasing the set time and reducing the compressive strength. After expiration, the Gel will get too thin to be satisfactory.
