In apríl 2019 the albergue was closed. Next one 1km ahead.
Two bars, one at the start of town and another (El Tendejón) closer to the albergue. The latter bar keeps the keys to the albergue. They are closed on Wednesdays and the key is then available at the shop on the road closer to the albergue.
The albergue here is located in the old school building; its 14th century predecessor is now a private home.
Exit town via the road (turn left from the albergue). Before Valsera, the camino will leave the road for 400m.

text: My ring broke, and because I wear it everyday, I wanted it fixed asap. I went here because it was the closest jewelry repair place to me and was very pleased with the results. I got my ring back the day after I dropped it off, and it looked shiny and new. It cost $23 which to me is a small price to pay given the sentimental value of my ring. The employees are personal, honest, and friendly. They do all the work themselves in shop and sell their own designs here too. They pretty much do anything jewelry related from watch and jewelry repair to custom designs. - Emma G.

About Us
Louisa Domestic Violence Service is a small, community based service that offers advice, support and crisis accommodation to women, children and men escaping domestic and family violence (DFV). Originally we were established as a service for women and children and operated out of a six bedroom purpose built refuge. But since November 2014, we have broadened our services to encompass everyone escaping DFV, including men and couples.
Our refuge building will continue to be reserved for women with children, or single women, but we have a number of properties that we can use for transitional housing (12-18 months, for those who are no longer in crisis but need somewhere to stay until they can secure safe and affordable housing), or for men or couples, with or without children, who are escaping domestic violence.

Tag: Introducing
When one thinks of Australian music, Rockabilly is not the first musical style that comes to mind. People outside of Oz may initially think of AC/DC's Hard Rock riffage or Men At Work's breezy New Wave/Pop but very few know about the Land Down Under's affection for Country and Roots music. While many Aussie artists are influenced by traditional Australian Roots and Folk alongside 'foreign' sounds from the UK and America, there are those that go straight for the jugular and delve into the musical roots of American Country and Rock 'n' Roll. Singer/songwriter Scotty Baker is one of those artists.
Somewhere between the time Country & Western Music became a phenomenon in the early 1950s and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll at the midpoint of that decade, Rockabilly was born. Essentially a combination of the sounds of Rock and Hillbilly music (hence the name), Rockabilly became the breeding ground for hundreds of artists including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and other artists signed to Sun Records (and other independent labels across the U.S.). These are the artists that inform the music of Scotty Baker and his fabulous new album LADY KILLER, an emotionally charged slice of Rockabilly that feels authentic, passionate and full of energy. Like his first two albums – JUST LIKE THAT (2010) and I'M CALLING IT (2014) – LADY KILLER is filled with fantastic songs straight from the pen of Baker himself. While most would compare him to early Johnny Cash (and rightly so), his music also possesses the emotional depth of Roy Orbison, which is perhaps the most important aspect of his recordings. Scotty Baker doesn't just play Rockabilly or Country – he lives within the music he creates. He is an artist that adds his own stamp to the tried and true Rockabilly formula and truly shines in the process. LADY KILLER is a Rockabilly treasure that comes from the heart and that is what makes it special.
THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HARMONICA SAM: Introducing The Band
When one listens to contemporary Country Music these days, it bears little resemblance to the traditional sound that helped define the genre decades ago. When Hank Williams, Faron Young, Patsy Cline, George Jones and Johnny Cash sang, you could almost smell the beer-soaked wooden floorboards of the old honky tonks coming through your radio. Nowadays, when you listen to contemporary Country Music, all you can smell is the mall. For better or worse, Country Music has gone through many changes over the years and remains one of the most consistently popular – and profitable – genres of music in the U.S. However, while it has been pushed out of the limelight in the States, the traditional Country sound of the '50s and '60s remains hugely popular in Europe. Many iconic Country & Western artists that have long since been forgotten in their homeland are revered in countries they probably never set foot in. Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Don Gibson, Marvin Rainwater, Stonewall Jackson and Hank Snow are just a few of the pioneering artists that are seldom remembered by a generation of Americans who were born after the Urban Cowboy-inspired Country resurgence in the '80s. We must now look to these European countries if we want deluxe reissues and box sets from these Trad Country acts, who seldom have more than a single disc 'hits' collection available here in the U.S. of A.

Facial hair growth can be embarrassing for women, more than men. However, there are methods to restrict and even completely stop the hair growth on face.
Tips to Stop Facial Hair Growth
The intake of supplements helps in combating the facial hair growth problem. Most of the time, it is the hormonal imbalance, which is responsible for extra growth of hair on face. So to correct the balance, supplements like black cohosh work well. It reduces the level of androgen hormone in the body thus restricting the aggravation of facial hair growth. Medicines like Flutamide helps in restricting the hair growth , by making the hair cells in skin numb.
When you pluck hair in your face with tweezers, the hair growth slows down. In some cases it totally stops over a period of time. It can be a time consuming task and may hurt at first.
But afterwards, your skin gets used to it. When plucking hair, you are damaging the hair follicle beneath your skin. If it is weak, the growth will eventually stop.
Use wax to remove the facial hair and a bleach afterward to clear the area. Of course, it is more painful than using a tweezers, but it is also more beneficial than it. It helps in hampering the hair growth.
Epilators like tweezers, help in rooting out the hair follicle thus damaging it and stopping the hair growth completely. The usage is again painful, but a tried and tested one, with proven effectiveness.

Effective Home Hair Removal
Laser treatments are in vogue. They not only help in removing the cells and restricting their growth, but also are useful in clearing the complexion and pigmentation. Laser treatments start showing positive effect from the first sitting itself. They also work on the principle of damaging the hair follicle beyond repair. Your doctor might suggest you a number of sittings, if he thinks, your growth is more and will take more time to slow down.
Home Remedies
Your kitchen shelf contains a lot of effective remedies, which are inexpensive easily available. Sugar is known to be an excellent exfoliant.
Rubbing sugar on the scalp occasionally, helps in getting rid of dirt and dead skin. However, its regular usage as a scrub on face or other body parts hampers the hair growth totally by damaging the hair bearing pores on skin.
In ancient time, before the advent of technology, sugar was an option women resorted to, to clear the hair on legs, arms and face temporarily. To completely stop the hair growth, they used to use it on a daily basis. You can mix lemon and honey with the sugar scrub, to moisten the hair growth area on your skin.
Include fruits like papaya, blueberries and vegetables like broccoli and pumpkin seeds in your daily intake. Eating vitamin B6 rich eatables like fish, cereals and wheat bran is effective in controlling the hormones responsible for male like facial hair growth. Vitamin e, Zinc and magnesium rich foods, should also be a part of your diet to keep the hormonal levels sane, to avoid a lot of secretion of testosterone.

Catholic Charities Celebrates 75 Years of Service in Richland County!
MANSFIELD, OH—"Your help is crucial to us as we move forward," said Rebecca Owens, Catholic Charities Regional Director, thanking over 250 attendees, board and community members, volunteers and staff for their generous service and support. The 75th Anniversary event raised nearly $70,000 for Catholic Charities services in Richland County. Donations are still being accepted to meet the $75,000 goal.
"Catholic Charities is not a typical social services agency," Owens said. "We've touched thousands of people over the years, with housing, food and medical assistance, guardianship services, education programs and disaster relief efforts. Catholic Charities serves. We're here to care for people and connect them with resources in the community."
Owens noted the 3-E Project, launched in 2016 to encourage, empower and engage people on their journey to self-sufficiency, is targeted for expansion, thanks to partnerships with Mansfield Engineering Components (MEC) and the Richland County Foundation.
Steve Cummins, MEC Co-Owner and VP, shared how valuable Catholic Charities 3-E Project is in providing employee assistance at their worksite. "All we did is open the door," he said. "Catholic Charities is doing the heavy lifting, offering not only help, but hope." Tracy Owens, a 14-year MEC employee, shared how Catholic Charities assistance saved her from becoming homeless after she experienced serious health issues.
"The reason Catholic Charities is doing so well is because their people are so filled with God's love and giving life to those whose lives they touch," said Rev. Leo Patalinghug. His entertaining and inspiring keynote presentation wove together notions of faith and family, with food and fun, all while cooking the evening's dinner entrée. "We are all called to serve!"
Bishop Daniel E. Thomas thanked all for their generous support, "I am so proud of what Catholic Charities does here in Richland County. The people who day in and day out represent the Body of Christ and bring His love, His joy, His grace, His charity, and His goodness to those who are in need. As we strive to make the love of God real for each individual, our Catholic Charities ministries bring alive the exhortation of St. Teresa of Avila: 'Christ has no body now but yours.'"
The Very Reverend Gregory R. Hite, VF, St. Peter's Parish, encouraged generous support of Catholic Charities ministries. Reverend Nelson G. Beaver, St. Mary of the Snows Parish, opened with prayer; Reverend Christopher M. Mileski, Most Pure Heart of Mary Parish closed with prayer.

Since 1942, Catholic Charities' Christ-centered ministries provide people of all faiths strength and hope, love and support, by sharing food, shelter, clothing, and educational tools to move out of poverty. And services continually evolve to meet community needs:
- The Adult Guardianship Program began in 1999, through the efforts of Morgan Rogers, a local social worker. Today, thanks to generous volunteer advocates who give their hearts, time, and treasure, nearly 50 individuals' needs are given voice and attended to.
- In 2011, HOPE Food Pantry This "choice" pantry, supported by over 25 volunteers, enables individuals to select their own food items. More than 600 households, approximately 1,500 people, are served each month.
- Crisis Navigation Services began in 2015, in response to nearly 5,000 calls for rental assistance annually, with the help of a local foundation grant. Individuals seeking financial assistance are connected to local community resources.
- In 2016, the 3E Pilot Project set out to Empower, Encourage, and Engage individuals on their journey to self-sufficiency, thanks to Richland County Foundation funding. This year, a Mansfield Engineered Components partnership enables 3E services to be provided weekly, on-site, at their manufacturing facility.
This is an exciting time for Catholic Charities Diocese of Toledo! Please join our celebration!
Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop Hosted in Ontario, OH
Catholic Charities is hosting a Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Area Agency on Aging, 2131 Park Avenue West, Ontario, OH.
Bridges Out of Poverty helps social work, healthcare and legal services professionals who work with those in poverty gain a deeper understanding of their challenges – and strengths – to better partner with clients and create opportunities for their success.
Based on the book, Bridges Out of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities, by Dr. Ruby Payne, Phillip DeVol, and Terie Dreussi Smith, the workshop addresses poverty at the individual, community and structural/policy levels, with an understanding people in poverty can be planners and decision makers in the process of moving from welfare to work.
Workshop facilitator Anne Seifert is a Lifetime Certified Bridges' Trainer. Topics covered include:
- Eleven key resources of a customer/employee
- Economic realities affect patterns of living
- Mental models as effective interventions for cognitive and language barriers
- Principles for improving outcomes with individuals from generational poverty

First Friday Book Club Series - Hosted at Our Mansfield Office
Our next First Friday Brown Bag Book Club Series begins Aug. 7, 2015, and features the work of Dave Philips who will speak at Catholic Charities' Fall Breakfast on October 6. We invite local businesses, organizations and anyone interested in helping people to help themselves to participate in this monthly book discussion. [singlepic id=887 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Why Don't They Just Get a Job? describes the journey and incredible results of Dave and Liane Phillips' efforts to help those in poverty find their way to self-sufficiency. Under the premise that existing job-readiness programs only focus on job placement and not retention, Dave and Liane Phillips created a poverty to economic self-sufficiency program called Cincinnati Works with an 80% one-year employment retention rate.
In the past three years, the non-profit has brought $25 million in wages to over 1,500 families in the Cincinnati area. The program offers a complete spectrum of free, lifetime employment services for the entry-level job-seeker to sustain and advance in today's work climate. The model is a winner of the 2009 Manhattan Institute Social Entrepreneur Award.
Following its success, Dave Phillips is now volunteering as a consultant for similar programs in other cities.
When: The first Friday of every month, noon to 1 p.m., August through December.
Where: Catholic Charities Mansfield Office, 2 Smith Ave., Mansfield, Ohio 44905

Herbert, 54, came to Mansfield from Atlanta, Georgia, in 2004 to visit his sick mother. His weekend visit turned into a permanent stay after Herbert gave his life to Christ and joined a local church.
"I had nothing. I had my own business in Atlanta, and I left everything there," he said. "I had no job and no transportation."[singlepic id=875 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Herbert moved into his niece's basement until he could get settled. While there, Herbert started having medical issues and was in need of prescription assistance. That's when his niece told him about the Community Emergency Services program at Catholic Charities.
"She knew I needed prescriptions, and I didn't have any resources," Herbert said.
The Community Emergency Services program helps families and individuals in Richland and Huron Counties who are struggling to manage finances, pay bills or maintain a stable residence.
"I called Catholic Charities, and they gave me an appointment to come in. I did an interview and took a budgeting course."
He received financial assistance for his prescriptions through the program.
"Having medical assistance alleviated a lot of stress. I was able to focus on other things like finding a house and getting a job."
But it wasn't just the financial assistance that helped Herbert while he was in need. The time and care of staff made an impact on him.
"It's difficult sometimes to ask for help. The staff at Catholic Charities treated me with love and kindness, and it gave me a desire to help others. It helped me to get past the fact that I needed assistance."
Today, Herbert is a case manager and program director at Family Life Counseling where he goes to local schools and works with at-risk youth. He is actively involved with his church and several other community organizations.
"The giving spirit of Catholic Charities' staff was a seed that produced a much greater harvest. I now refer some of the people I help to Catholic Charities for food, housing and other services."
"I think sometimes people give to Catholic Charities and really don't see the fruits of it, but many lives are touched. Their gifts continue to give. By helping me, I am able to help others."

Sacred Heart School in Shelby, Ohio, held an assembly in December to present more than 1,000 rolls of toilet paper to veterans in need who are served by Catholic Charities and other local agencies.
Dale Warren offered a thank you on behalf of the veterans.
"It means a lot to a veteran to have you children do something for us. Some of the most special people for veterans are children, so to have you guys help us like this is really special," Warren said to the group of students. [singlepic id=840 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Sacred Heart students Kassie Stine,11, and Rylee Gregson,13, winners of this year's Patriot Pen Essay Contest, read essays on the theme, "Why I Appreciate America's Veterans."
"The veterans fight for us so that we can have freedom," said Stine. "I personally have friends and family who are veterans. I'm really worried about them but I'm also really proud of them. They have the bravery to fight for us."
"I appreciate veterans because they fight for people who can't fight," said Gregson, who has two cousins currently serving in the military. For example, some elderly people would love to still be fighting for their country but they physically can't, so other people take their place and fight hard to keep the people they love safe."
Throughout the month of October, Sacred Heart School students participated in a toilet paper drive for the veterans. The idea for the drive came when Principal Lisa Meyers inquired about items needed to help local veterans.
"Sue Warren (case manager for Catholic Charities) explained to me that Catholic Charities could get funding for things like housing and food for veterans, but they couldn't get funding for basic necessities like toilet paper," Meyers said.
Sacred Heart School's 98 students collected a total of 1,039 rolls of toilet paper.
"Living without basic hygiene necessities can reduce one's self-esteem. The toilet paper collected in the drive will provide a basic need to our veterans and make their lives easier," Sue Warren said.
"Our students, staff and parents are very thankful for what our veterans have done for our country. Through Christ, this is our way of showing our gratitude," Meyers said.

Wedding Catering Ardeer Vic
8 Insider Tips For Choosing the Right Catering Service In Ardeer
When it concerns the things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and look of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice of which catering service to hire, and if you believe this choice really isn't that essential, take a look at it by doing this, remarkable catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will almost always send visitors to the doors.
In addition, because catering is often the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for a lot of occasions, the caterer you pick is also a significant monetary choice and can affect just how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Add in the fact that catering services can vary considerably in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they provide, and the process of selecting a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, generally due to the fact that how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your initial discussions is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later on).
A potential caterer should be finding out as much as they can about you in your first few conversations with them, so you should anticipate them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you providing responses and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Specific Type of Occasion In Ardeer 3022
Not every caterer is perfect or every type of event, and numerous catering services themselves freely confess this.
So when interviewing your Ardeer caterers (and you should speak with at least 3 catering services for any event with a sensible budget plan), you have to be specific about the kind of event you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might end up picking a caterer who merely isn't really a good suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Virtually every caterer has a basic menu or menus to select from, and numerous do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your specific requirements by replacing particular items and/or customizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and want to develop fantastic fare that matches even more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Desire To Offer Tastings
How will you ever understand exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you know exactly what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their event since it looks like a trouble for the catering service, but it is standard to ask for a tasting of what you are intending to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (once again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you choose the best catering service). When you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any catering service who puts in the time to appropriately show a sample will most likely be most likely to make that kind of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event manager who needs to handle catering information, budgets and tasks?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may be in for a surprise if you employ a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraising event. Or if you choose a high-end business event caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Since these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more specific depending upon constraints of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
A lot more conventional places can likewise have constraints that catering services must follow, like particular setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that is familiar with a venue's rules can potentially save you lots of hassle on event day.
# 5 Total Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement must clearly spell out precisely what food, drinks and services the catering service will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it should secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might wish to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail needs to be consisted of in the agreement, included selected menus, number of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if appropriate) and all pricing and additional services.
No catering service in Ardeer with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, however you have to make certain there is a cancellation provision in your contract simply in case your catering service has to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and charges are in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 References You Can Call and Speak To
Of course you will need to check up on the caterers you are thinking about, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly trustworthy (and even authentic); for example, an excellent catering service may have had a few nightmare/hater customers who skew their scores, while a really mediocre caterer might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past clients of the catering services you are thinking about and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked to called insurance coverage "an offered" for catering services, and you definitely do not want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Area Personnel
Surprisingly, the length of time a catering business in Ardeer has stayed in business might not be as vital in choosing a great caterer as you might think.
So ensure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV since he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

There is a potential way to get several items reviewed and supply your Doctor with the results. Many of you have heard of Life Line Screening. You can have several tests done for a low fee. All in the convenient location of where the Life Line Screening is being done in your area.
Bone Mass Measurement (Bone Density Screening)
Medicare covers this test once every 24 months when certain criteria are met.
So sometimes you need to be proactive in taking care of yourself before an issue becomes medically necessary. Something you can do to be good to yourself. Just like you know you need to exercise your body to remain healthy, you exercise your wallet when you purchase those tennis shoes you will wear when you take your walks. You will sometimes want to exercise your wallet and get some cost efficient tests done and share the results with your Health Care Providers.
Bone Mass Measurement also called Bone Density Screening, this too is an example of one of tests you could have done at a Life Line Screening location. And supply your doctor with the results.
Cardiovascular Disease Screening
Medicare covers screening blood test for cholesterol, lipid, and triglyceride levels every 5 years.
I have some news for you. If you apply for a life insurance policy at certain levels of coverage the insurance company is likely going to have a paramed exam completed that will likely include a blood test. You can request a copy of those lab results and supply that information to your health care provider. And likely your Doctor will very much appreciate having this information available before a time frame of 5 years has come and gone
Diabetes Screening
Medicare Part B will cover these tests if your Doctor determines you are at risk.
For instance if you have hypertension, if you have high cholesterol, high triglyceride levels.
For instance if you are obese, if you have a history of high blood sugar, or high glucose levels.
If you are 65 or older and have a family history of diabetes, or are over weight, or if you had gestational diabetes during pregnancy, or gave birth to a child 9 lbs or in weight.
Your Doctor might want to run tests more often than Medicare covers those tests. Your Doctor office will let you know if additional out of pocket funds are due. You will determine what you want to pursue. One of those things to pursue will likely be those marvelous tennis shoes just waiting for you to use them more often. You are worth what you need to make yourself more healthy.
Flu Shot
When You have Medicare Part B, one of the annual benefits available to you is the annual Flu Shot. It might not have an out of pocket charge to you if, your provider Your Doctor or another qualified health care provider, accepts assignment. Yes, it is getting to be that time of year again.
Pneumococcal shots
Medicare Part B will cover this shot(s) if your provider accepts the Medicare assignment you would not have additional out of pocket (oop) costs. Did you know that there is more than one type of pneumococcal shot. One shot is covered one year the other type is covered one year later. So you will want to discuss this schedule with your doctor. A good time to (discuss) these things is during you Annual Wellness Visit. Your Doctor can provide you with a nice schedule that you will want to keep and use a guide for your future visits that you will schedule. Talk with you Doctor to find out which shot they feel you might need and when it will be time to schedule that event.

Reasons for Designation
From the time of St Augustine's mission to re-establish Christianity in AD 597
to the reign of Henry VIII, monasticism formed an important facet of both
religious and secular life in the British Isles. Settlements of religious
communities, including monasteries, were built to house communities of monks,
canons (priests), and sometimes lay-brothers, living a common life of
religious observance under some form of systematic discipline. It is estimated
from documentary evidence that over 700 monasteries were founded in England.
These ranged in size from major communities with several hundred members to
tiny establishments with a handful of brethren. They belonged to a wide
variety of different religious orders, each with its own philosophy. As a
result, they vary considerably in the detail of their appearance and layout,
although all possess the basic elements of church, domestic accommodation for
the community, and work buildings. Monasteries were inextricably woven into
the fabric of medieval society, acting not only as centres of worship,
learning, and charity, but also, because of the vast landholdings of some
orders, as centres of immense wealth and political influence. They were
established in all parts of England, some in towns and others in the remotest
of areas. Many monasteries acted as the foci of wide networks including parish
churches, almshouses, hospitals, farming estates and tenant villages. Some 225
of these religious houses belonged to the order of St Augustine. The
Augustinians were not monks in the strict sense, but rather communities of
canons - or priests - living under the rule of St Augustine. In England they
came to be known as `black canons' because of their dark coloured robes and to
distinguish them from the Cistercians who wore light clothing. From the 12th
century onwards, they undertook much valuable work in the parishes, running
almshouses, schools and hospitals as well as maintaining and preaching in
parish churches. It was from the churches that they derived much of their
revenue. The Augustinians made a major contribution to many facets of medieval
life and all of their monasteries which exhibit significant surviving
archaeological remains are worthy of protection.
Malmesbury Abbey has a written history covering 1300 years. Although today little of the monastic complex remains visible, extensive buried remains will survive and the monument is important as a site with early origins and which continued in use as a monastic house until its dissolution in 1535. Subsequently, the nave of the Abbey church has continued in use to the present day.
The monument includes those parts of the Benedictine monastery, known as
Malmesbury Abbey, that are no longer in ecclesiastical use. The Abbey has its
origins in the early 7th century as part of a Saxon hilltop settlement.
Though its early history is uncertain, there are references to a nunnery
founded in c.603 AD, though a more likely date for its establishment is 637 AD
when the Irish monk Maeldulph established a hermitage at Malmesbury. The
monastery itself was established sometime between 675 AD and 705 AD under the
abbacy of Adhelm, though its dedication is not known for sure. However by the
10th century, 965 to 974 AD, the monastery had become established as a house
of the Benedictine order. The surviving buildings were commenced under Bishop
Roger between 1118 to 1139 AD and completed at around 1160 to 1170. It
continued in the Benedictine order until its dissolution on the 15th of
December in 1539. The Abbey was subsequently sold by Henry VIII's
Commissioners to the clothier William Stumpe, for the sum of 1517 pounds and
15 shillings. He built the present Abbey House on the site of some of the
monastic buildings and gave the nave of the Abbey church to the people of
Malmesbury as their parish church in 1541.
The abbey church was formerly of massive proportions, reaching its peak in the 14th century when the nave and choir were some 86m long, the lady chapel at the east end a further 12m long and 21m wide and the cloister to the north of the church measured 32m square. Following the Dissolution only nine bays of the nave survived to be used as the parish church; this was subsequently reduced to the six bays that survive today following the collapse of the west tower in the 16th century. The monastic buildings, none of which are now upstanding, stood on the north side of the church and consisted of the cloister immediately north of the church with the frater beyond, the chapter house to the east of the cloister and the dorter north of the chapter house, stretching east in the area now occupied by the 16th century Abbey House. A major part of this building's undercroft belonged to the rere-dorter of the abbey. Fragments of architectural detail reused in later buildings can be seen over a wide area of Malmesbury.
The portion of the abbey church still in ecclesiastical use, all modern buildings and structures, all boundary features and all metalled surfaces are excluded from the scheduling, though the ground beneath them is included.

Unity in Glass
I first met Lee Ware at the 2012 Lubbock Bridal Showcase. Having just moved back to Lubbock, I was one of countless photographers vying for a booking from the hundreds of brides bustling around the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. Poking my head through the back curtain of my booth, I saw something I had never seen before at a bridal show. This colorful swirling art piece sat neatly arranged on tables and shelves as Lee put the final touches on his booth. As you can imagine, my curiosity got the best of me, and I made my way over to learn more.
Lee created a new twist on an old tradition; the mixing of sand is a ceremony often included in weddings. Traditionally, couples mix sand during the ceremony to symbolize their unity; Lee switches the sand for glass pellets, and couples create Unity in Glass. For each piece, Lee discusses with the couple which colors he should prepare for the ceremony. Once they are mixed together at the wedding, the glass is returned to the shop where Lee crafts a unique glass sculpture or vase to commemorate the marriage.
After spending a career in the corporate world, Lee relocated to West Texas to pursue his love for glass. Opening his Sandstorm Glassworks shop behind Tornado Gallery next to the Cactus Theater, Lee has made a name for himself in the wedding industry, shipping his work all over the country. You've probably seen his work on Pinterest if you're in wedding planning mode.
With my own wedding coming up not long after I met Lee, we quickly knew we were going to have him create a piece for us. Our closest friends and all of our family combined coral and navy colored sand as our ceremony started. Today, the sculpture sits on our dresser where we see it every day. Lee even made a pendant for my wife as a gift; she wears it often.
If you're looking for modern wedding ideas, and want to create a unique piece of art with a skilled artist to commemorate the happiest day of your life, look no further than Unity in Glass.

7 Shortlived Bracelet Fads That Died out before We Even Realized ...
Just like any other fashion accessory, there have been tons of different bracelet fads throughout the years. The jewelry is popular one day, but seems to disappear the next. Here are some of my favorite bracelet fads that you'll probably remember. Chances are you've even worn some of them in the past.
1. Sillybandz
One of the most recent bracelet fads was Sillybandz. These rubber bands came in different shapes and colors, and were aimed at children. Of course, everyone ended up buying them, despite their age. Some are in the shape of animals or cartoon characters, while others glow in the dark. Anything you can think of, there's probably a Sillyband of it.

In this week's news highlights: a member of the Freedom Friday (Arbi Harnet) speaks to a Dutch journalist about the protest in Asmara; article emphasises that ordinary people organised protest Asmara; air strikes in Somalia; drought in the Horn of Africa continues impacting the region; Eritrean diaspora rallies and unites worldwide; report calls for change of EU-Eritrea migration policies; rape used as instrument of war in Libya.
Greater Horn of Africa
Eritrea: Freedom Friday movement calls for international inquiry
A member of the Freedom Friday (Arbi Harnet) movement in Eritrea spoke over the phone to a Dutch journalist. In the conversation, he called for an international investigation following the Asmara protest in Eritrea. He also confirmed that the security forces, although using force, refused to shoot at people. He continued his phone call stating: "Muslims and Christians are united" in the protest. He ended by saying that resistance against government repression will continue in Eritrea, despite the fear.
Eritrea: Something is moving behind regime's wall
An article published on Asmarino Independent draws conclusions after the protest in Asmara. The article emphasizes that last week's protest was the first protest in a long time held and organised fully by ordinary people, not linked with open opposition movements.
Horn of Africa: Drought continues to severely impact the region
The ongoing drought in the Horn of Africa continues to severely impact the people. According to what is known, 15 million people are food insecure. Drought continues to torment the region, whereas heavy rainfall in some areas has caused crop failure too. The drought causes displacement and early signs seem to suggest that rainy seasons in countries like Somalia may again fail.
Somalia: Air Strikes conducted by US army
A statement published by US airforce together with the Somali army informs about two separate air strikes in northeastern Somalia. The operations were conducted by joint efforts of the two armies targeting terrorists' safe bases.
South Sudan: Refugees having a central role in Uganda economy
South Sudanese refugees are a boost for the Ugandan economy. A BBC article analyses the impact of refugees fleeing from civil war in South Sudan from a different point of view. As shown by UNHCR figures, Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees, especially women and children. Part of the reason why the Ugandan government has been so welcoming, is because of the positive transforming effect the refugees have had on the north Ugandan countryside.
Europe: European and worldwide rallies after Asmara protest suppression
London, Stockholm, Washington DC and New York: these are some of the cities which are becoming the theatre of protests held by the Eritrean diaspora community in response to the suppression of the protest in Asmara, Eritrea, last week.
European migration policy: New approaches needed in dealing with Eritrea
A report from different organisations, based in part on 67 testimonies from Eritrean migrants, is calling for a change in the approach of EU migration policy with Eritrea. The report refers to the Khartoum process: 'It focuses too much on states and not enough on people' and 'it fails to address the root causes and political drivers of undocumented migration' as stated by Dr. Lutz Oette. The study shows how Eritrean refugees are forced to risk their lives while fleeing the country.
North Africa
Libya: Rape used as instrument of war
The Guardian published an article that shows how male rape became an instrument of war on Libyan soil. In testimonies gathered, it is shown that male rape has been used during the 2011 Libyan revolution by rebels and is still ongoing in Libyan prisons and detention camps as testified : "There was a black man, a migrant. In the evening, they threw him into one of our cells: 'You rape this guy, otherwise, you're dead!'"

Have you ever spent a good amount of time looking for the right spot to park your car or finding your parked car? If yes, then you need not worry any longer, as there are several mobile apps that can assist you on the same. In this Blog, we will delve into one such App, Apple's ARKit.
About Apple's ARKit
ARKit, is a framework launched by Apple in June 2017, enables developers to build augmented-reality (AR) apps for iOS 11. With the help of daily use cases discovered, Apple's ARKit has great potential to expand. It is capable of handling tough tasks related to AR such as surface detection, motion tracking, and light matching.
Using ARKit, you will be able to:
- Remember where you've parked your car.
- Navigate you back to your parked car.
- Give you directions or routes to reach out your car.
Using ARKit
Once you park your car, you need to open your ARKit app and click on "Start" to mark the parked car. No matter where you are, be it at work or elsewhere, ARKit detects your car with the help of a GPS or camera sensor.
If you look at the above screenshot, you will see:
- a white up arrow on the left which indicates that the car is up ahead
- a white text "10 m" on the right which indicates that the car is 10 meters ahead
- a text in orange "Your Car" with an arrow sign which shows where the car is exactly parked
- Dots in red with numbers which shows the route to the car
You need to implement 'Car Parking App' in use case where the app will recall where you had parked your car. As a user, all you need is to mark the car parked spot on your iPhone app development, and then walk away. Once you reach your destination or get away from the sizable position, the tracking will stop.
Implementing the Apple ARKit App
Apple's ARKit shows a live view of the parked car with Augmented Reality (AR) location anchor points. These points are used to mark the location of the parked car as shown below:
// Add Initial point
let sphere = SCNSphere(radius: 0.1)
let sphereNode = SCNNode(geometry: sphere)
// Set the scene to the view
let initialCarLocation = SCNVector3(x: 0, y: 0, z: 0)
sphereNode.position = initialCarLocation
// Add label on scene view for Initial point
addTextOnScene(text: "Initial Point", position: sphereNode.position)
// Start counting distance and steps using pedometer
// Get user latitude and longitude
It even connects your device with the GPS to track the location of the car. This even displays the distance between the user and the car. The moment you make your move, the pedometer counts your steps:
func startCountingSteps() {
self.pedoMeter.startUpdates(from: Date()) {
[weak self] pedometerData, error in
guard let pedometerData = pedometerData, error == nil else { return }
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let pedometerDistance = Double(truncating: pedometerData.distance!)
let distance = Double(round(pedometerDistance))
self?.lblDistance?.text = "\(distance) m"
// Add marker on scene view after set steps
if pedometerData.numberOfSteps.intValue >= (self?.stepCounterRange)! + (self?.steps)! {
self?.steps = pedometerData.numberOfSteps.intValue
// Add marker on scene view after 5 step
Moreover, at every five steps, Apple ARKit tags you with the number 1, 2, 3… and so on, to keep a check on the user's route. To stop the pedometer, you need to click on "Stop"
func addPointInPlain() {
if isRecordingSteps {
let sphere = SCNSphere(radius: 0.1)
let colorMaterial = SCNMaterial()
colorMaterial.diffuse.contents = UIColor.red
colorMaterial.locksAmbientWithDiffuse = true
sphere.materials = [colorMaterial]
let sphereNode = SCNNode(geometry: sphere)
// Set the scene to the view
let resultHitTest = sceneView.hitTest(self.sceneView.center, types: [ARHitTestResult.ResultType.featurePoint])
guard let hitFeature = resultHitTest.first else {
let hitPosition = SCNVector3Make(hitFeature.worldTransform.columns.3.x, hitFeature.worldTransform.columns.3.y, hitFeature.worldTransform.columns.3.z)
sphereNode.position = hitPosition
// Add Marker count label on scene view
addTextOnScene(text: "\(counterPath)", position: hitPosition)
// Increment the marker count
counterPath = counterPath + 1
if let anchor = lastAnchorPoints {
// Create a node line between the nodes
let measureLine = LineNode(from: anchor, to: hitPosition, lineColor: UIColor.red)
measureLine.name = "measureLine"
// Add the Node to the scene.
lastAnchorPoints = hitPosition
Now that we have learnt how to implement the ARKit, yet it is important to know that it comes with a minor drawback, which is when the recorded AR Location feature points is not continued. This happens when the app switched to background, terminated or the device is switched off, which automatically results in not showing the routes or location.
To Conclude
Apple's ARKit, with the help of AR, is undoubtedly, a technology with great prospects. It merges the real as well as the virtual workspace to augment reality!

Pokémon Go-watch: nine Pokémon Go thinkpieces listed without comment
In 1996 Game Freak released Pokemon Red and Blue on the original Gameboy, kickstarting a franchise that won over the world. The videogame series has sold hundreds and hundreds of millions of copies and its card game spin-off introduced a generation of schoolchildren to cash-in-hand grey market trading. The smiling yellow electric rodent Pikachu is one of the most recognisable characters in the world.
Nintendo's mobile strategy:— Aaron Levie (@levie) July 11, 2016
2008: what's an iPhone
2010: what's an Android
2012: nope
2014: still no
2016: change how society functions
Twenty years on and Pokemon Go has launched on the Android and iOS platforms. It's a mobile game that overlays a virtual map onto the real world, and uses a mixture of your device's GPS and camera to allow players to find and catch the Pokemon semi-IRL.
Since launch we've seen the following at least attributed in part to Pokemon Go: people walking off cliffs, relationships falling apart, infidelity, muggings, knifings and shootings, and a plea from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum to stop people from playing on their grounds.
And there have also been some remarkable assertions about the way in which Pokemon Go could profoundly change our lives and the world, for better or for worse. Here is a selection, listed without further comment.
