Mad Dogs and Vintage Vans
England / Ross-on-the-Wye, Herefordshire
Mad Dogs and Vintage Vans is the kind of dream setting you see in magazines...all whispering trees and endless greenery, with spectacular views to the Black Mountains.
Nestled in a gorgeous wildflower meadow within the Wye Valley (in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, no less!), you'll find four striking, west-facing vans, each one with its own unique personality and styled to vintage perfection.
Whichever you pick, you'll marvel at the exquisite, loving attention to detail paid throughout. Your van is cosily equipped with everything you'll need for a soothing stay...and much more besides!
Elsie is perfect for two, a demure yet impossibly glam 1950s lady with décor, fixtures and fittings direct from her favourite era. You'll find a downy kingsize bed and a cocktail cabinet inside, along with Formica work surfaces and a beautiful lantern roof.
Gertie, meanwhile, is ideal for small families. A Cheltenham Gnu thought to have been made in the 1930s, this is one seriously unique lady. You'll find her equipped with handmade, solid oak furniture, original gas lights and a toasty woodburning stove. When it's time to turn in, discover two comfortable double beds you won't want to get out of.
The impeccably stylish Sibyl also sleeps four, plus one extra child in a cosy hammock bunk. She was created by hand in the 1940s, and was purpose-built for a family - meaning there's plenty of space to relax in. She boasts a quirky retro kitchen, bespoke wooden furniture and a woodburning stove.
Finally, Monty - the only boy in the pack - is a handsome, heavyweight military wagon that sleeps up to five people. He features timber-clad walls, a handcrafted kitchen with slate worktops, and his very own decking area. In fact, it's easier to think of Monty as more of a cosy log cabin than a van!
Hot water bottles, vintage quilts and blankets are all provided, plus soft feather duvets and plump pillows to ensure you're kept perfectly snug during your stay. You are welcome to pitch a tent beside your van for storage or overflow sleeping space for larger families.
The generous facilities are off grid and as eco-friendly as can be, too. There's a charming upcycled shower shack with organic toiletries, a flushing loo and plenty of twinkling solar lanterns to give your evenings a warm glow.
And as if all that wasn't enough, you'll find a crackling communal campfire that's perfect for toasting marshmallows with new friends - plus a Mad Dogs Deli bursting with tempting local produce.
Not only will you be treated to a mouthwatering cream tea when you arrive, but you can also take advantage of the deli's 'van service', a selection of hand-delivered, home-cooked dishes to satisfy just about every taste.
Spend your days exploring the local area (you can even go out in the midday sun if you like!), or stay put and challenge your loved one to a game of tennis on the court. Let the kids' imaginations run wild in the woodland, which is ideal for den-building and game-making.
Oh, and if you're in need of some pampering, why not head to the lotus tent for a personally tailored holistic treatment or two from the resident therapist?
Head for the campfire by evening, and watch that glorious sunset equipped with a glass of something lovely. With absolutely everything else taken care of, all that's left for you to do is unwind.
Things to note
Pets are not permitted. No smoking.

Tried and tested
"Thank you so much for a fantastic 5 days in the ruggedly handsome Monty. What a unique and special place, we've never experienced anything like it before. Amazing views from Monty's decking, fun campfire cooking and getting wonderfully muddy and tired from adventuring in the Forest of Dean."
"Wow! Such a magical place, everything is beyond perfect. The vans are beautiful as is everything else - the attention to detail is just gorgeous. Delicious cream tea on arrival and such a warm welcome. The massage was pure bliss. We don't want to leave."
"What a perfect place for a group of friends to gather. Each of the vans has the most beautiful view and Jo & Sacha have thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay enjoyable from the freshly cut flowers to the SUPERB massage in the treatment tent. Every aspect of our stay has been memorable and we can't recommend this slice of heaven more highly."

John Brown: Cultural Icon in American Mythos
Zoe Trodd, a British scholar who teaches at Harvard, cited me in a book she co-edited, titled Meteor of War: The John Brown Story (Brandywine, 2004).*
Zoe and I share a common interest in John Brown: I wrote my doctoral dissertation, "John Brown: Cultural Icon in American Mythos," at the University of Buffalo under the direction of Leslie Fiedler, renowned literary and cultural critic and author of the widely acclaimed Love and Death in the American Novel (Stein & Day, 1960).
View my dissertation's …
Brown is unquestionably one of America's most controversial historical figures, one who has evoked an extraordinarily wide range of praise and blame, and condemnation and deification. This anthology examines how a supposed madman and brutal terrorist could also be hailed as a saint or as an anti-racist Jesus who turned the gallows into a cross. Brown remains a mythic figure demonstrating both the inherent violence and the redemptive possibilities of American society.
Professor Trodd's special interests include protest literature, the historical novel, literature and photography, ethnic autobiography, African American literature, Native American literature, journalism, Civil War culture, and war in literature.
*Trodd subsequently published American Protest Literature (Harvard Press, 2005).

What I look for in Startups
During the past ten years, what I look for in a startup has changed.
These days I no longer actively look for an opportunity to participate in the "A" round or "B" round of a startup, although I still do that from time to time. My recent investments in both Seesmic and twitter are a reflection of this.
During the past couple of years, my core focus has shifted from making investments in companies and their mission to making investments in people and their vision. And I focus on what I consider "early-early stage" opportunities.

2016 has taken a lot of incredible, influential people from us, but none of them hurt quite like this. Carrie Fisher, feminist icon, brilliant author, and mental illness advocate passed away at only 60 years old.
I will never forget the first time I saw her, her hair done up like pastries on the side of her head, wearing a long white dress. I was only six or so, and I remember how instantly inspired I was when she mouthed off to her would-be rescuers: "Somebody has to save our skins."
Here was a princess who didn't need rescuing. Leia was no damsel-in-distress. She wasn't like the Disney princesses my friends adored – girls who needed a prince to survive. By the time I got around to Return of the Jedi, I had found a hero I could believe in. Leia was a tactician, a fighter, a leader, and she got the cute guy at the end. What wasn't there to love?
As I grew up, I learned more about the woman behind Princess Leia. Born to Hollywood royalty, her family life was disrupted early on when her father, Eddie Fisher, left her mother, Debbie Reynolds, for Reynold's close friend, Elizabeth Taylor. Her mother remarried the next year to a shoe-store owner who drained the family's savings.
Fisher hid from the madness of Hollywood in books and writing. She fell in love with the arts at an early age and dedicated her life to it. While I certainly didn't have her childhood, I could understand her deep love of the written word. She said it best herself in an interview with the A.V. Club:
"I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know."
Carrie Fisher was my real-life Belle from Beauty and the Beast. A beautiful bookworm who struggled with pain that was shameful to express publicly. She did it anyway, speaking and writing candidly about her mental health. She taught me that there was no shame in surviving mental illness. When she spoke openly with Diane Sawyer about her bipolar disorder, I was only beginning to understand my own anxiety and depression. For the first time, I wasn't embarrassed when I had to tell people that I was too anxious to go to a school dance or a party. My hero of heroes, Princess-freaking-Leia, suffered the same way I did, and she wasn't ashamed at all.
"I am mentally ill. I can say that," she said to Sawyer. "I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you."
The media and internet loved to throw shade at Fisher, commenting on her mental health, drug abuse, or later, her weight. She took it all in stride and told off her haters with wit and grace. She navigated the paparazzi like a seasoned professional. Sometimes she worked behind the scenes on films instead of in front of the camera, working as a Hollywood script doctor.
Often, she fell in love with other artists, including musician Paul Simon and comedian Dan Aykroyd. She was a single mother, raising daughter Billie by herself after Billie's father, talent agent Bryan Lourd, left Fisher to be in a relationship with another man. Through it all, she maintained a love for herself and those who needed her love.
A close friend of mine was able to meet Fisher at a convention a few years ago. Fisher was her hero, too, and she entered the photo room shaking and trying to think of anything to say to her icon. Fisher pulled her close, hugged her tight, and rubbed her back. "It's okay, sweetie," she said. "I'm just a person, just like you."
That was the essence of Carrie Fisher, all wrapped up in a single sentiment. She was born into fame and rose until she was a cultural icon. Instead of letting all of that go to her head, she used her voice and her power to help others. She reminded us, time and again, that we're all just human.
Earlier this year, Harvard University gave Fisher its annual Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism, noting that "her forthright activism and outspokenness about addiction, mental illness, and agnosticism have advanced public discourse on these issues with creativity and empathy."
The world feels a little less bright without Fisher in it. May the Force be with you, Carrie. Thank you for inspiring us all.

Hmmm... He says its a "Political statement". If so, kudos to him. The American people needs a hard reality check. They need to know about the ongoing war with our neighbor to the south. 200,000 plus dead, extortion and terror in every state of Mexico.ReplyDelete
If this draws attention to the public, then we need more of this kind of guerilla tactics. It's clear the traditional media of newspapers and television has failed. Well, maybe not failed, but is wildly successful in keeping the American people ignorant.
I wished we could advertise the Borderland Beat blog on large billboards too.

Computer Science has advanced rapidly in the last several decades, and this advance has ecessitated the continual revision of the curriculum in an evolving discipline. Not only have new areas of interest been added, but new approaches have influenced the ways we think about established areas in computer science. One of the fundamental changes in computer science in the last decade is the realization that the context in which technology is used must be taken into account in its design, partly because of the ethical implications of its use, and partly because understanding the context of use helps inform and improve the design. This recognition is included as one of the foundational principles in Curricula 1991, and has been a part of curriculum standards for over a decade. Thus, as a part of the natural evolution of a maturing discipline, the social and ethical context of the discipline has been included in its basic undergraduate curriculum.
As part of our work, we present a conceptual framework that allows the instructor to see the social and ethical context within which any particular issue can be viewed. Because there are several disciplines that contribute to an understanding of social and ethical context of computing, the context we construct here is multidimensional in nature. Most of the standard topics that instructors already associate with the area will be found here. But other topics, and the intersection of many topics are also suggested by this framework. We expect it will provide the sort of comprehensive, conceptual overview that the field has been lacking until now. But since these issues change with time, we also expect this framework will need to be revised periodically to reflect those changes.
Below is the framework which is explained in our first report. While viewing the framework,
In Computing Curricula 1991, the basis for defining the curriculum is stated as the 'platform of knowledge that is considered essential for all students who concentrate in the discipline.' In this report we extend the basic platform of knowledge necessary in computer science to include a tenth subject area that will cover the social and ethical impact of computing in a comprehensive and meaningful way. Our rational for doing this now is that, because of the work of Project ImpactCS, we are able to articulate the essential core of knowledge in this new area with the same rigor and formalism that was the basis for defining the other nine subject areas using knowledge units.
A knowledge unit defines a coherent collection of subject matter that is so fundamental to the designated subject area that it should occur in every undergraduate curriculum. Frequently the subject matter of a particular knowledge unit is related to other knowledge units in the common requirements and can be introduced within any of several alternative course structures. This is often the case with the knowledge units that we will describe in this new subject area designated Ethical and Social Impact of Computing (ES). The conceptual framework, principles and skills explicated in The Consequences of Computing, the first report from the ImpactCS Project, are used as the basis of the knowledge space of this new subject area. The five fundamental knowledge units of Ethical and Social Impact of Computing are:
- ES1: Responsibility of the Computer Professional
- ES2: Basic Elements of Ethical Analysis
- ES3: Basic Skills of Ethical Analysis
- ES4: Basic Elements of Social Analysis
- ES5: Basic Skills of Social Analysis

For the past 19 months, Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser has lavished ill-spared funds and fighting men on the backward, arid republic of Yemen, where a revolutionary leader backed by Nasser is struggling against the stubborn remnants of the ousted royal regime. Nasser has committed 36,000 Egyptian troops one-third of his entire army but the royalists still control the countryside, penning the revolutionaries in a few garrisons. Last week, paying his first visit to Yemen since the 1962 coup, Nasser was plainly anxious to decide whether to cut his losses or to continue the costly desert war.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) Chivas USA hired Jose Luis Sanchez Sola as its coach Wednesday.
Known as ``El Chelis,'' Sanchez Sola says he wants to implement a more appealing style of play for the team's fans. He has six years of head coaching experience in Mexico's first division. The 53-year-old coach never played professional soccer.
He coached second-tier Correcaminos this year and Estudiantes in the 2011 Clausura season. He coached Puebla from 2006-10, leading the team to Interliga, Superliga and Bicentenario tournaments.
Sanchez Sola replaces Robin Fraser, who was fired last month along with three other staffers. Chivas USA finished last in the Western Conference this season with a 7-18-9 record.

In the episode (titled "Tomorrowland"), Joan received "a [new] title, no money of course," while Peggy "just saved this company" by landing the first account since Lucky Strike's unlucky Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce exit.
They're both unsatisfied by the lack of recognition at work, something I completely relate to as a modern-day working woman, making a living that supports my creative work. Yesterday, in particular, I felt my life mirrored Joan and Peggy's dissatisfaction.
After starting my day by adding 1000 or so words to my book – a daily task that anchors me and fills me up – I felt drained during a well-meaning staff meeting. I realized that I wasn't the only wounded ego; we were a collective. Have you ever been in such a space, surrounded by talented people working for people working for people who work for a huge corporation run by people who are so far removed from the wounded egos in that room?
In observing the room, I noticed we were all looking for a bit of recognition, a nod to the stellar work we perform daily. And I'm not trying to sound like Jerry Maguire here, but I've come to realize that no matter how much I love this job, it may never, as Joan says, give me the inner satisfaction I crave. It's only in being a leader, in creating works of my own, rather than climbing a ladder of some dead man's creation, where I'll find lasting fulfillment.
I urge anyone who's ever found themselves sitting hopelessly in such a room to grab a moment and plot your means to inner satisfaction. After using my moment, I've chosen to continue to sit in a room of my own, filling blank pages with stories.

|Thamnophis (1)
The western ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus) is a long, slender garter snake with a stripy body and a very long tail, which makes up nearly a third of its total length (2) (3) (4) (5). The background colour of the western ribbon snake varies from dark brown to olive-grey, olive-brown or black, and there are three light stripes running along the body. The central stripe, running down the spine, ranges from greyish-tan to gold, reddish or orange, while the two stripes along the sides are usually pale yellowish. The belly of the western ribbon snake is an immaculate white, cream, pale yellow or pale greenish (2) (3) (4) (5) (6).
The head of the western ribbon snake is distinctly wider than the neck, and the eyes are moderately large, with round pupils (3) (5). On top, the head is dark brown or black and is marked with a pair of small, bright yellow spots, which are sometimes joined together (2) (4) (5) (6). There is also a pale vertical bar in front of each eye (4). The lip scales of the western ribbon snake are usually white, cream, pale greenish or yellowish-orange, without any dark markings (2) (3) (4) (5) (6).
Male and female western ribbon snakes are similar in appearance (3), but the male is generally smaller and more slender than the female, and has a slightly longer tail (5). Newborns are patterned like the adults (5).
Although originally described as a distinct species, the western ribbon snake was for many years treated as a subspecies of the eastern ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) (2) (3) (7). It is distinguished from the eastern ribbon snake by its larger, more conspicuous pale spots on the head, as well as a by its longer snout, shorter tail, and greater number of scales on the upper lip (5) (7). Compared to other garter snakes (Thamnophis species), the western ribbon snake is less stocky and has a much longer tail. It is also distinguished by the lack of dark markings on the lips and belly (4) (5) (6).
The western ribbon snake shows considerable variation in its background colour and in the width and colour of its stripes. Six subspecies are recognised: the western ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus proximus), arid land ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus diabolicus), Gulf Coast ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus orarius), Mexican ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus rutiloris), redstripe ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus rubrilineatus) and Chiapas Highland ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus alpinus) (1) (2) (3).
The diet of the western ribbon snake consists mainly of amphibians, including frogs, toads and salamanders, as well as their larvae (2) (3) (5) (6) (8) (9). It also takes small fish (2) (3) (5) (6) (8), and has been recorded eating skinks and crayfish (2) (8). The western ribbon snake is an active predator that hunts largely by sight. It may search for food by probing in vegetation, chasing prey that is flushed out, and has also been seen swimming with its mouth open, snatching up prey as it comes into contact with it (2) (5) (6). If threatened, the western ribbon snake may dash or swim into vegetation (5) (6), and if caught it can emit a pungent liquid to deter predators (6).
The western ribbon snake is usually active during the day (2) (3), but may also be active at night when daytime temperatures become too hot (6). In some areas, the western ribbon snake hibernates during the winter months, sheltering in a rocky bank, rocky outcrop, rodent burrow, rotten log or other suitable site, which it often shares with other hibernating snakes (2) (5) (10). This species is usually active between about April and October in northern areas, but in more southern locations it may be active throughout the year when conditions are favourable (2) (5) (6) (10). Rainfall often stimulates activity in the western ribbon snake, probably due to an associated increase in the activity of its amphibian prey (2) (6) (10).
Mating takes place in spring, soon after the western ribbon snake emerges from hibernation. The female usually gives birth between July and September (2) (5) (6) (9), with females from southern populations usually giving birth slightly earlier than those from northern ones (10). The western ribbon snake gives birth to between 4 and 27 live young (5) (6), with the average litter size being about 8 to 13 (2) (5) (6) (10). The newborn snakes measure around 16 to 29 centimetres in length (3) (5) (6).
The male western ribbon snake reaches maturity from around 7 to 9 months, at a length of at least 41 centimetres (2) (9) (10). Females mature later, and may not start breeding until their second or third year (2) (5) (6) (9) (10). The size at which the female western ribbon snake reaches maturity varies between populations, ranging from about 35 to 51 centimetres (2) (3) (9) (10).
The western ribbon snake occurs from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and southern Wisconsin in the central United States, west through the Great Plains to Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, and south into Central America, as far as Costa Rica (1) (2) (3) (5).
The subspecies T. p. proximus occurs in the United States (2) (5), while T. p. diabolicus and T. p. orarius range from the U.S. to Mexico. T. p. rubrilineatus is confined to the Edwards Plateau of central Texas, while T. p. rutiloris occurs from Mexico to Costa Rica, and T. p. alpinus is restricted to high elevations in central Chiapas, Mexico (2).
A semiaquatic species, the western ribbon snake is most commonly associated with brushy or grassy areas close to water. It may be found close to swamps, marshes, ponds, rivers, streams, lakes, or damp meadows, and has even been found around cattle tanks and ditches (2) (3) (4) (5) (6). This species also sometimes occurs at the edges of wet woodlands (4) (6).
The western ribbon snake has been recorded from a range of elevations, from sea level to around 2,400 metres (2) (3).
The western ribbon snake has yet to be classified by the IUCN.
The main threats to the western ribbon snake are likely to come from the drainage and filling of its wetland habitats (2) (5). It may also be affected by the degradation of its habitat due to pollution and recreational activities, as well as by habitat loss due to agricultural development (5). In some areas, activities such as land cultivation and the loss of wetlands have resulted in the rapid disappearance of this species (4).
Although reported to have a rather nervous nature in captivity, the western ribbon snake is often kept as a pet, and is one of the most common snakes to be sold in pet stores in the United States (2). However, the impacts of this on the wild population are unknown.
There are no known specific conservation measures currently in place for the western ribbon snake, and the conservation status of this species has yet to be assessed by the IUCN (11).

|Dead River - ST
Highlights include: "Wash His Bones" and "Burn Alive".
From: Melbourne, Australia. Rating: 4/5
Dead River's self-titled EP is one of the toughest psychedelic rock records I've heard in a long, long time. It's the burnt out and slightly strung out toughness of an all-nite diner with blues-inflected slide riffs and the ambience of the neon glow of disinterested guitars ringing and wailing in the background. 'Dead River' is loaded with leather jacketed and puke stained band t-shirt attitude that lets one know that these three ladies (Bindi Masterson - Vocals & guitar; Bonnie Mercer - Guitar and Shaunagh Furlong - Drums) have been through the wars and come back with a few missing teeth but a few stories to tell as well.
As a general thing, the Dead River flows with fuzz, providing said toughness. A thick froth of fuzz like the skin that grows on old beer that's been left out for a little too long in an open container. From there the cacophanous drums crash and bang continuously, relentlessly until all that's left along the shore is bloody pulp. The lead guitar can then play the role of the disembodied ghost, possessing a riff every now and then but mostly content to be a truly free spirit, floating atop the Dead River like smog, haunting each of the four tracks with that strung out and burnt out vibe.
Dead River carry on the tradition of the drugged out side of Spacemen 3 and the rougher and readier side of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club while showing signs of maturing into their own sound with "Burn Alive".
|The Valley - ST
Highlights include: "Rad Dungeons" and "Royal City".
From: Seattle, Washington. Rating: 4/5
And if the fuzz comes down from the Mountain and flows down the Dead River, it certainly does so cutting a swathe through The Valley.
This Seattle quartet (Dan Beloit - Guitar / vocals / songwriting duties; Doug Manis - guitar; Colin Faddis: drums; Tim Basaraba - bass/vocals) play a driving style of melodic fuzz rock, somewhat along the lines of a stoner band like Red Desert through the lens of a band like Sloan. They've been around for over ten years now and even though I live in the general area this is the first I've heard of the band. It's a fine introduction to a band, it feels like hitting them mid-stride.
Fuzz and flange characterize this eponymous EP with some nice big, meaty riffs, smothered in fuzz gravy, especially on the first and last tracks, and a generous helping of rock and roll pop sensibilities.
They say opposites attract and stylistically, The Valley's glossy melodies couldn't be further from the dirt-encrusted assault of Dead River. But where the twain meet is in the muddy groves of fuzztown. "Rad Dungeons" and "Royal City" are satisfyingly fuzzy and heavy tracks with just enough aggression to match the driving rhythm and convince the listener that The Valley mean serious rock n roll business. "Northern Cascades" and "Blue Sonic" feature plenty of drive of their own, but shows the band in a more spaced-out psychedelic light. These latter two tracks have slightly less howl to them than the former and are more rock oriented with catchy melodies on the vocals all the way through, especially "Blue Sonic". When The Valley plays around with psychedelia, it's usually in a textural context with wide-open spaces of staccato riffing with flange that 'suggests' more it 'tells'. As subtle as this band gets though, they're still not above bludgeoning the listener over the head when need be.
Genre: Psychedelic, Stoner, Fuzz Rock
Release Date: February 13, 2013 (Dead River); October 30, 2012 (The Valley)
Suggested listening activity for fellow non-stoners: Digging for fuzz clams on the bloody banks of the river.

Apple Inc. will sell the newly unveiled tablet-style iPad starting at $499, a price tag far below the $1,000 that some analysts were expecting.
The iPad, which is larger in size but similar in design to Apple's popular iPhone, was billed as "so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone."
The iPad has a 9.7-inch touch screen, is a half-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds and comes with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of flash memory storage. It comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity built in. device has a battery that lasts 10 hours and can sit for a month on standby without needing a charge.
The basic iPad models will cost $499, $599 and $699, depending on the storage size, when it comes out worldwide in March.
Like iPods and the iPhone, the iPad can sync with Apple's Macintosh and Microsoft's Windows computers. Jobs said the iPad will also be better for playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. Software coming with the iPad includes a calendar, maps, a video player and iPod software for playing music. All seem to have been slightly redesigned to take advantage of the iPad's bigger screen.
Tablet computers have existed for a decade, with little success. Jobs acknowledged Apple will have to work to convince consumers who already have smart phones and laptops that they need this gadget.
But there is no official word on when its going to launch in India

Meet the team at Tinies Berks
Our team provides tailored childcare solutions, nursery staff supply and excellent childcare jobs in your area.
Claire Adams, Branch Owner
I am qualified with a BTEC National Diploma in Nursery Nursing 1993-1995 and have trained as a Midwife at the University of Hertfordshire in 1997-1999.
I started out my career at Tinies as a Childcare Consultant back in January 2000, and have been responsible for launching and establishing franchises in the Home Counties. I have a staff team of 11 to help support and manage our daily operation.
I now own and run 5 Tinies Franchises acquiring my first franchise in May 2004 with Tinies Hertfordshire. I went on to buy Tinies Buckinghamshire in June 2006 and then in May 2008 I bought Tinies Berkshire Nurseries. In May 2009 I took over Hampshire & West Surrey leaving my most recent acquisition for 2010 to be Tinies Dorset, making me the single largest Tinies franchisee in Tinies history.
We believe Tinies' Vision is to provide the very best nannies and childcarers to our clients, and to be trusted to deliver on that promise. In addition, we must influence and shape the future of the childcare industry.
Internally as a company we are committed to being the preferred supplier for our clients, outshining our competitors, and growing our business year on year.
We deliver a professional, personal and proactive service to find the right childcare solution for our clients. Safety is paramount, and therefore we guarantee all Tinies childcarers undergo vigorous interviewing and screening.
Lauren Young, Childcare Administrator
I joined Tinies Bucks/Berks in 2011 after setting up my own business running a bridal shop in Ascot since April 2007. I qualified from East Berkshire College in 1996 with my NNEB and went on to achieve my NVQ Level 4 in Early years Management in 2002.
I have just over 8 years experience of working within childcare, 5 of which were spent in nurseries where I started as a nursery nurse.
I was keen to progress and have always enjoyed working with children from a young age enabling me to work my way up the nursery ladder quickly to become a nursery manager before embarking on a career as a nanny of 4 children.
Whilst working within the day nurseries I managed staff and dealt with recruitment on a daily basis, therefore have good knowledge of Early Years establishments and have gained a valuable understanding of what nurseries require from their temporary and permanent staff in order to provide the best childcare services possible.
I look forward to discussing your childcare requirements.
Faye Ansell, Recruitment Manager
I joined Tinies in 2014 after gaining previous childcare recruitment experience in the Thames Valley. Prior to recruitment, I was based in a Montessori Day Nursery setting where I spent my first 8 years after qualifying and gaining my level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education. During this employment I was promoted to Room Leader and held additional responsibilities in the absence of the deputy manager. During my time at the nursery, I achieved my Advanced level Apprenticeship in Management and Speech and Language Level 3 Support for Under 5s.
My passion for childcare and all aspects that came with working with children grew in my time at the nursery. I took on extra role such as the Events Co-ordinator, mentor for students and new staff and completing staff rotas, training programmes etc. My role as Events Co-ordinator helped me to develop my confidence as I had to work closely with a variety of departments within the large computing company, to ensure all areas such as health and safety, risk assessments, food and security were met for each event. This is where my love for organising events began!
My role at Tinies Childcare began as the Events Planner for Herts, Bucks & Berkshire, where I work closely with the temporary team in providing crèches that support parenting courses for Local Authorities, and to provide pop up event crèche services for weddings, corporate events and festivals. Since this, I have covered all areas of the business working on both the permanent and temporary recruitment. I was promoted to Senior Recruitment Consultant in 2016 where my focus was to oversee and encourage the temporary side of our business- nursery, creche, babysitting and Emergency childcare. I trained the new team members that joined Tinies and would support the Recruitment Manager in her absence. In January 2018, I was promoted to Recruitment Manager.
Catherine Croucher, Senior Recruitment Consultant
Before joining the Tinies Recruitment Team I was working as a Private Nanny and have 14 years' experience working within the child care industry gaining my Diploma in Childcare and Education in August 2005. I was very excited to start a new career path with completely new challenges ahead and still be able to work within the childcare industry.
I started my position at Tinies in February 2016 as maternity cover running the Temp Nursery desk for Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. The job was very fast passed and I often wondered if I would cope with the amount of new information I was taking in. It was great getting to know the candidates that had worked for Tinies for many years and I had plenty of support from the team. I thought working as a nanny that my new job would be easy but I most certainly have been proven wrong. I survived the maternity position and took on a permanent position with Tinies in January 2017 I worked very closely with the Senior consultant in a shared role and was introduced to the world or permanent employment. I built many new relationships and there was a real buzz when finding a candidate their dream job!
Early 2018 I took on a new challenge and still continue to support nannies with temporary employment, working closely with local hotels providing a babysitting service and working with local authorities providing creches that run alongside parenting courses. In June 2018 I was thrilled to be promoted to Senior Recruitment consultant and I enjoy working closely with the branch manager.
Although I have been faced with various challenges along the way I find my job to be very rewarding and am lucky to work with a wonderful team of people. I have learnt so many new skills and still continue to do so through training. I have learnt a lot about myself along the way and how to deal with circumstances I would have never thought a recruitment agency would need to concur.
Georgia Allen, Junior Recruitment Consultant
I have recently joined Tinies in 2019 excited and eager to learn something new but still being able to be in the childcare sector.
Prior to working at Tinies, I have been in childcare in 5 and a half years. As soon as I left school at 16, I knew childcare was something I loved and wanted to do as a career. Working in childcare I gained my Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education.
At the age of 16, I started as a nursery apprentice and worked my way up to a room leader of the 2-3-year olds. Working in a curiosity approach-based nursery it was great to learn something different and for me to constantly use my initiative and imagination and especially seeing how things like the curiosity approach can help the children learn and grow.
At Tinies Childcare, I am working alongside Catherine and Jodie for the Temp side for Herts, Bucks & Berkshire. I look forward to my role with Tinies constantly growing and working alongside this lovely team and learning lots of different things on the way.

Islamabad, October 09, 2019 (PPI-OT): The Government of Japan has extended assistance to Pakistan Customs and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for establishment of three new state of the art Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) Containers Scanning Terminals at East and West Warf in Karachi Port and Port Bin Qasim. Under the Japanese grant assistance, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) implemented "The Project for Security Improvement in Port Karachi and Port Bin Qasim" amount of JPY 1.877 billion (approximately PKR 2.78 billion Pakistan Rupees).
An inauguration ceremony to this effect was held at Karachi whereby H.E Mr. Kuninori Matsuda, Ambassador of Japan to Pakistan and Syed Muhammad Shabbar Zaidi, Chairman, FBR inaugurated newly established NII Containers Scanning Terminal at East Warf at Karachi Port. At the handover ceremony, H.E. Mr. Kuninori Matsuda, Ambassador of Japan to Pakistan said Karachi Port and Bin Qasim Port are considered the busiest ports of Pakistan and are greatly contributing to the trade and economic activities of the country.
These ports are not only important for Pakistan's economic prosperity but also have greater significance as international trade ports due to its geographic location. The scanners installed would not only help in detecting illegal trade and smuggling to combat terrorism but would also improve the performance of ports to boost international trade. He further emphasized the hope that the grant aid from Japan would support the work of Pakistan customs and would further strengthen the existing bond of friendship between the two countries.
Mr. Shigeki Furuta, Chief Representative of JICA Pakistan office in his remarks said that the project would provide adequate technological support to Pakistan Customs to ensure compliance of Security and Facilitation in a Global Environment (SAFE) Framework Standard set by World Customs Organization (WCO). He elaborated that the project will improve the ability of Pakistan Customs to detect and deal with high-risk consignments and increase efficiencies by expediting the clearance and release of goods. Furthermore, the working environment of the custom officers will also improve, who are bound to conduct physical inspections of all inbound and outbound consignments.
Speaking on the occasion, Syed Muhammad Shabbar Zaidi, Chairman, FBR thanked Government of Japan for their cooperation for this vital project. Dr Jawwad Uwais Agha, Member Customs (Operations), FBR, also thanked government of Japan and stated that the Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) functionality imparted by these scanners will enhance trade facilitation by Pakistan Customs and hoped that this cooperation will continue in future as well for other ports in the Country.
Under this project, three Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) Container's Scanning terminals has been constructed at East and West Warf at Karachi Port and Port Bin Qasim, which includes Scanner, terminal building, image scanning and analyzing equipment, waiting room for container's driver, and backup facility for electricity.
Each Scanning terminal have been directly connected with Pakistan's Web Based One Customs (WeBOC) system with scanning capacity of 7-8 containers per hour with total capacity of scanning over 450 containers per day altogether in 20 hours which is the estimated net operation hours under the 24 hours operating conditions. The project also trained 60 officers of Pakistan Customs as Image Scanning Analyst for effective utilization and future sustainability of project.
The Japan funded project will facilitate the increasing volumes of cargo traffic at Pakistani ports as well as provides essential security to the global supply chain and will contribute to the socio-economic development of Pakistan by generating revenue collection and trade facilitation.

Working from home? Take your break
Workers need breaks. Fact. In the bricks and mortar world, big business insists that employees take their breaks, not because they have big hearts, but rather because they want fat bank accounts. Science has proven that you get more out of a person if they take some time away from doing their job every day.
Home workers, like the rest of you, often work really hard for little pay. Home workers, unlike the rest of you, are often forced to put in loads of extra unpaid hours on top. Due to our isolation, we are often our own HR Department, IT Specialist, Timekeeper, Health and Safety Officer, QC and secretary. Got training? Well, nobody is going to tap you on the shoulder five minutes before hand because….. Well, there isn't anybody. Need information? It's all there, somewhere on the website or in your email, so if you want/need it, you must go and find it. Things take longer, there is no Manager's door to knock on for a quick chat or decision. Feeling fragile? Tough. There is nobody around to notice your red eyes, pale face, sunburn or to bring you a brew because they can see you having an off day.
Despite all of this, friends and family seem to honestly believe that because we work from home, we are available to cover for them at the drop of a hat. They GET that we are working, but they know we are also at HOME. As such, receiving parcels, covering their schools runs, taking their dog to vet and babysitting the unwell "he really is no problem" little Johnny should be easy. For most of us, these things are simply not possible. Why then, do so many of us squander our break time? It is the only time we get to be our own buddy, and tend to ourselves.
Breaks. Tea breaks, lunch breaks, they are VITAL for home workers. Are you making the most of yours?
Many home workers work on the telephone, a computer, or both. The work is often repetitive and intense. Calls are back to back for hours on end, and everything is done live, on a terminal or computer. Contracts are often designed with clauses that meet bare legal requirements. Production is measured by the minute if not by the second, and terms can be very restrictive and heavily in the employers favour. It is common for lunch breaks to be unpaid, and for employers to dodge splurging even on the 15 minute paid tea break by ensuring that shifts stay within 6 hour blocks – The maximum the law allows without forcing them to finance a tea break. This is not a crit on the evils of the industry, there are many benefits to working from home. I am, however, trying to stress the importance of home workers leveraging their breaks to the full.
So how can we do this? We work at home, so the temptation to fill our breaks with housework and other chores is very real, assuming we can pry our butts off our office chair at all. When the (forced, unpaid) break time does come around, it's very easy to get into the habit of spending it answering emails, paying bills, renewing the household insurance or doing other tasks that keep us in our office.
This is not good practice. It is neither healthy nor sensible. The science tells us that we need breaks to remain productive. If we don't work, we don't get paid. We cannot work if we become unwell. Home workers often suffer with eyestrain, migraines, muscle tension and circulation problems. Take control. You earned your precious break, and you need to spend this time wisely. Your work is measured by the second on a spreadsheet somewhere, so how can you allow your personal time to slip away from you? No! You, me – We are worth more than that.
It doesn't matter how you invest in your breaks, it does matter that you take them for yourself. Eat something, drink something. Get away from the glare of the PC, move a little, stretch a lot. Try to arrange your chores around your working hours so that you too have a real break from work rather than switching from one job, to another, then rushing back to work. Save and savour your break time. Use it for things you enjoy, like walking the dog, nipping next door for a cuppa, watering the garden or dancing around the lounge.
Never forget, we work to live. Most jobs can be very restrictive, none more so than the kind of jobs that convert well to home working. So, max out on your breaks. Set your stopwatch, then get out of the office. Sing, dance, breathe, move. Have fun! It's YOUR time – Enjoy it, you have earned it. (Yes, Bones – I did mention walking the dog…….)
How do you spend your break time?

A selection of the wit and wisdom of the early 19th-century liberal cleric and founder of The Edinburgh Review, arranged thematically.

There are those who say that the Reverend Sydney Smith ought to be made a saint of the Church of England. There are those who say that he jested away his chances of a mitre. There are those who simply read him and laugh.
Sydney Smith was not only a humorist. He was a respected clergyman who worked steadily for Roman Catholic emancipation despite his own staunch Anglicanism. In 1802 he helped to found The Edinburgh Review, which became one of the most powerful journals in Britain. Lord Macaulay referred to him as 'The Smith of Smiths'. Jane Austen is thought to have based Henry Tilner in Northanger Abbey on him. G. K. Chesterton was another of his admirers.
This book gathers together a selection of Smith's own writings together with extracts from his daughter's biography of him. Arranged thematically, the passages deal with Home and Abroad, Politics, Social Evils, Education, Religion, and Health and Happiness. As well as Sydney's renowned wit, the collection enshrines the wisdom of a man of enormous common sense and the preaching of an eloquent orator.
We discover the sloth, who 'moves suspended, rests suspended, sleeps suspended, and passes his life in suspense – like a young clergyman distantly related to a bishop.' We meet the bishop who 'deserved to be preached to death by wild curates.' But most of all, we enjoy the company of a man determined that 'as long as I can possibly avoid it I will never be unhappy.'
The 'amusing defender of our faith' described a friend's idea of heaven as 'eating paté de foie gras to the sound of trumpets.' His present-day admirers may disagree, finding their ideal of heaven in reading this wonderfully entertaining book.

Norman Taylor was born in 1926, and educated at Bolton School. From 1944 to 1946 he served as an officer in the R.N.V.R. A scholar of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he read history before going to Cuddesdon College, Oxford to prepare for ordination. He served his title at the parish church of Clitheroe in Blackburn diocese. For fifteen years he was Rector of Little Wilbraham in Ely diocese, before becoming Chaplain of St. Faith's School, Cambridge, and finally, honorary assistant priest of Chesterton Parish Church. He now lives in retirement in Lyme Regis, and serves on the Salisbury branch committee of the Prayer Book Society. He has also compiled the highly successful For Services Rendered: An Anthology in Thanksgiving for the Book of Common Prayer, also published by The Lutterworth Press.
After serving as an officer in the Black Watch regiment Alan Hankinson worked for the BBC and ITV. He is now a full-time writer with several books about mountaineering to his credit. His most recent works are biographies of William Howard Russell, war correspondent of the Times, and the climber Geoffrey Winthrop Young.
The great strength of this anthology, however, is that it gives us much more than Smith the genial wit. We also encounter a serious and impassioned man, an indignant commentator on the government of Ireland ('a monument of shame and infamy to England'), on slavery, and on the treatment of Roman Catholics. He emerges as an important voice of the liberal conscience, often funny, prickly, penetrating, and never dull. ... This is a very fine anthology indeed, a compendium of good humour, patience and enlightened liberalism, and no less than the Smith of Smiths deserves. Christopher Hart, in The Daily Telegraph
I have to recommend the writings and sayings of Sydney Smith ... he was supremely funny. Parish News
... I was delighted when Twelve Miles from a Lemon: Selected Writings and Sayings of Sydney Smith ... landed on my desk. ... readers will have to turn to the book itself to savour his elaborate periods, caustic sarcasm, and clever puns. The Expository Times
... an entertaining and revealing mix of biography and humour, wit and wisdom. One of the merits of Alan's book is that it gives a rounded portrait of the man – public benefactor, social and moral reformer, fighter for such worthy causes as religious tolerance or political democracy. ... a lively anthology, rich in good sense and stimulating ideas. The Keswick Reminder
... an entertaining selection of his writings. ... an abiding concern for religious tolerance and political democracy, all unpopular causes, all this without demonstrations or uproar, with great humour and his pen. Catholic Women's League News
Smith deserves to continue to be read as a contributor of extraordinary perception, wit and wisdom. Often caustic he was so rational in his thinking, and yet so sensitive in his dealings with those in power, that the wit and wisdom which featured in everything he wrote made them think on what he said and sometimes to be moved to make the changes in attitudes which he suggested ... Many of the problems with which we have to wrestle were of the kind for which he posited solutions that are still worthy of consideration ... Churchmen have much to learn from Sydney ... In nothing is Smith more interesting than in what he wrote on the churches – on worship, preaching and tolerance ... The authors have done us a service in providing us with what Sydney Smith wrote, often to people in the whole, but sometimes person to person in a delightful intimacy. Church of Ireland Gazette
What is impressive about the clever and amusing Whig cleric and what is firmly established in the work ... is his serious, disciplined, conscientious application to the principles of his religion ... The compilers have given us much to be grateful for ... James Michie, in The Spectator

Red Hot Chile Sauce
Every summer, our Serrano and jalapeno plants are decked out with hundreds of shiny green and red ornaments waiting to be harvested. The harvest is ridiculously abundant with these two varieties, so besides making fresh salsa every few days, we have to find another quick and easy way to use our chiles so they don't end up rotting off the plants. Since I don't want … Continue reading Red Hot Chile Sauce

Are More Changes Afoot for the Management of Freshwater Quality?

Published: 1/04/2016
A recent hikoi and associated petition presented to Parliament this week highlights the increasing focus being given to the management of the quality of freshwater in New Zealand.
The National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 ("NPSFM") requires that the overall quality of freshwater within a region is maintained or improved. The NPSFM also sets national bottom lines for the quality of freshwater.
The NPSFM sets national bottom lines for two compulsory values (ecosystem health and human health for recreation) and minimum acceptable states for other national values. The compulsory national bottom line for human health for recreation requires that as a minimum, water bodies will present a "no more than moderate risk" of infection to people who undertake activities that involve only occasional immersion in water (i.e. secondary contact activities such as wading or boating).
The petition seeks to increase the standard to apply to primary contact activities such as swimming (i.e. full immersion).
The timing of the petition is interesting as the Government is currently consulting on proposed changes to the NPSFM. The consultation document does not signal any amendments to the current national bottom lines in the NPSFM. You can read more about the proposed changes
The petition also highlights the tensions between the cultural, recreational and environmental values of freshwater and the effects that some activities (including industrial uses and farming) may have on water quality.
The Government has signalled that while it may be open to strengthening the NPSFM, that it is not practical to require every water way to be at a swimmable standard. It seems that the focus will remain on the changes to the NPSFM that are currently being consulted on, along with the wider RMA reform agenda.
In that respect, the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 was referred to the Local Government and Environment Select Committee and the public submission period closed on 14 March 2016. A report from the Select Committee is due on 3 June 2016. There are no significant changes signalled to the obligations of regional councils in respect of the management of freshwater quality as part of the Bill.

Sea Kayaking the Saguenay Fjord
The first you thing you wonder when entering a sea kayak on Saguenay Fjord is where are all the boats? No motorboats, sailboats, jet skies, nothing. Our guide, Jean, tells us there are few places to dock along the 100-kilometer shoreline and even less places to find gas. The second thing you notice is that the water is the color of black ink, perhaps because it reaches a depth of some 900 meters in the middle. We were 80 kilometers down the fjord, only 20 kilometers from the mouth at the St. Lawrence River. This is a prime spot for spotting beluga whales since the federally preserved waters of Baie-Sainte-Marguerite, where belugas mate, were directly across the 2 kilometer channel from us. We paddled along the jagged shoreline lined with cliffs and oversized boulders and topped by pines that remarkably still stand after the harsh winters here. We spotted herons and cormorants but Jean tells us that the rugged shoreline is also a favorite of peregrine falcons.

© Via Hansa & Borealis
Accor Hotels is strengthening its presence in the Latvian capital with two new hotels set within and next to the Old Town. Complementing the existing 4-star Hotel Mercure Riga Centre, early next summer the international chain will open the central 120-room 3-star Hotel Ibis Riga Centre and the 150-room 5-star Pullman Riga directly in the Old Town. Both projects stand out with their contemporary functionality and stylish and sophisticated design. The Ibis Riga Centre will undoubtedly be the city's best 3-star property, while the Pullman Riga brings a new standard into the deluxe hotel market. Via Hansa, which already has very close cooperation with the management of the Mercure Riga Centre, recently agreed with the local Accor management and the owner of the buildings to pursue an even closer partnership giving Via Hansa preferential rates at all three properties. We warmly recommend each of the three Accor properties in Riga for FITs, leisure groups, conferences and incentives. We are accepting reservations for the new properties for guests staying from July 1, 2016. For more information and rates, please contact: email@example.com
