You can buy via Mobile Money, or by visiting selected MTN branches, mtnghanashares.com and selected banks.
The largest telecom operator, MTN, has launched an Initial Public Offer aimed at raising 3.47 billion cedis from shares.
Every Ghanaian has the opportunity to own shares in the company. Priced at GHC 0.75 per share, they must be purchased in multiples of 10, with a minimum subscription of GHC 7.50 which is the cost of 10 shares.
The shares can be bought through mobile money by dialling *170# and selecting option 7; through the MTN website by entering the URL mtnghanashares.com, or by buying through selected MTN Ghana branches, IC Securities (Ghana) Ltd, any of MTN’s selected banks or any licensed stock broker of the Ghana Stock Exchange. The offer is for two months, starting at 12.00noon on Tuesday, 29th to 31st July 2018.
The Vice President of South and East Africa and also the CEO of MTN Ghana, Mr Ebenezer Twum-Asante, noted that MTN’s listing of shares was in fulfilment of a requirement by the Regulator when it was given the right to use a 4G spectrum that can carry high-speed mobile data for customers.
With a subscriber base of 17.8 million, representing 47.6% market share, Mr Twum-Asante estimated that MTN was, directly and indirectly, responsible for about half a million sustainable jobs.
He said that the company was also contributing its quota to the development agenda of the country. In 2017, he said, MTN paid GHC 1,218 billion as taxes to the government.
Mr Twum-Asante said that as the first step in providing digital solutions, the business division of MTN had rolled out fibre to over 14,000 homes within one year.
He said that MTN had 11.6 registered wallets and a 93.9% market share of mobile money float. He said that checks from GSMA confirmed that this is the first time in Africa or the world over that mobile money will be used to buy shares in an IPO and subsequently trade them.
The launch of the IPO was performed by the Minister of Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta and the CEO of MTN Ghana, Mr Ebenezer Twum-Asante.
You don’t need much money to buy MTN’s shares. Starting at GHS 7.5, you can own some shares. However, to make a profit from the shares, you need to invest some more. Also, when MTN’s shares increase in value, the value of the money you invested in the shares goes up. You can then sell the shares at a higher price to make money or you can keep them and keep enjoying dividend on them. | 2019-04-26T15:44:19 | https://mfidie.com/buy-mtn-shares-ghana/ |

Conditions for climbs in the Cascade Pass area including Sahale, Buckner, and Ptarmigan Traverse can be found below. For conditions on other climbs, return to Planning a Climb.
Condition reports come from climbing and wilderness rangers, the voluntary climbing register, and other climbers. To make a climbing report, please email the Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount. Please include the route, snow level, any hazards encountered (or not), peak(s) attempted, and whether your party successfully summitted.
All of the climbing routes in the park complex are located in wilderness, but some are wilder than others, and there may be limited or outdated information. Use these reports as a baseline, but plan for changing conditions and a true adventure. On many routes, the discovery, physical stress, and route-finding challenges are half the fun.

Please join us for the Guild’s annual dinner on Saturday, March 10th at the Pennsylvania Yacht Club, 2189 State Road, Bensalem, PA. We will enjoy a cocktail hour with appetizers, followed by dinner, dessert, and time to socialize with your crewmates away from the ships! Purchase your tickets here.
The Guild was informed last year that Pier 9 was being developed into public space, newly named Cherry Street Pier. The Guild relied on free use of Pier 9, which is owned by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, to store wood and equipment used in the maintenance of Gazela and Jupiter. Luckily, Holt Logistics generously donated 3 year lease on a 10,000 sq ft lot near the airport for our stuff. The Guild will have to build shelters for the wood piles, but at least there is now space for storing the existing timbers and all material being gathered for the next rebuild.
Our storage containers were moved down on December 5, 2017 thanks to Rob’s Towing of Bristol. On December 13, our volunteers loaded two truckloads of big timbers from Pier 9 plus two truckloads of wood stored at the Navy Yard. River Services donated their staff and forklift to load at the Navy Yard. And a crack team of volunteers unloaded in a driving cold wind. We have scheduled Monday December 18 for the last two loads to be picked up at the Navy Yard and delivered to the lot.
Bring a dish. Bring a bottle. Bring a friend and turn them on to the ship. Please email volunteer@gazela.org and let us know if you can help by bringing a big pot of something to eat or help with set-up or clean-up.
For those of you who are new to our little band of sailors and are looking forward to getting underway this season, we are offering sail training classes this spring.
Please register for one of the classes at this link.
This class, provided at no cost only to active Guild members, covers a variety of basic topics ranging from knot tying, line handling, learning the ship, emergency stations and watchstanding roles. For new members, you will receive a copy of the Gazela crew manual, a log book, and a complimentary piece of rope for knot tying.
On Wednesday, 29 July, Gazela entered Dry Dock No. 2 at Rhoads Industries in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. She crossed the sill at 0805, followed by the barge Poplar, and the water was pumped out beginning at 0955; at about 1230 she touched the blocks.
This is the first time the ship has been hauled out in ten years and the first time the barge has been hauled out in probably twice that time. Once the dry dock was pumped out, the scaffolding was built around Gazela.
During the week of 3 August, workers and volunteers began taking off the copper and inspecting Gazela‘s framing and wood under the copper. After the copper was off, we began removing selected planks, which was accomplished with chainsaws, chisels, pry bars, clamps, big wooden levers, and plenty of teamwork.
The condition of the framing under these planks is better than we had expected, which is quite promising. We also started work on the thru-hull fittings, which will include replacing plastic fittings with copper or other material, and on removing the zincs (sacrificial anodes) that will soon be replaced with new ones.
With the planks removed, work started on prepping the ship for new planking (cleaning up seams, reefing seams, cleaning between the hull planking and the ceiling planking, etc.); in addition to this, the shipwrights began the process of roughly shaping the planking stock so that when the patterns are made they will be easier to cut.
During week three, we worked simultaneously on documentation, inspection, minor repairs to plank edges, and plank prep. There was spiling (using the space that the plank will go in to work up a pattern to make a new plank), cutting, steaming, and fastening, and by the end of the week we got the first plank of the project in and got another ready to steam.
With about fourteen more planks to make, we have a planer to get them to the proper thickness, after which the shipwrights will cut them to shape based on the patterns that they have made for each plank.
Getting the shape and size of each plank is critical, as they all have very specific places in the ship where they have to precisely fit. After the planks are put into the ship in the coming weeks, we will be putting copper back on.
During the first week, we started with chipping rust and power washing the hull, and we also removed the sole boards on the port and starboard side in order to clean up those spaces and inspect them.
In week two, we continued the rust chipping and moved all of the combustibles off the barge in preparation for hot work. We also began needle-gunning in order to further eliminate rust (and to try to make more holes in the hull, since this is our chance to fix them) and continued removing things that need to be removed/moved.
We continued the prepping of the barge for hot work during week three, and with all of the concrete and rust removed from the bow and stern rakes, we began the removal of bad steel in those areas and cleaning up the hull in preparation for welding and painting. | 2019-04-26T00:41:12 | http://philashipguild.org/category/volunteers/ |

Sisters from the three communities in London gathered together in Pope John House, Poplar to celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
We chose to gather on Sunday 9th December as the morning Mass in the parish – St. Mary and St. Joseph’s – was a memorial Mass for Sr. Helen Downe fcJ who died in October. She had lived and worked in the local area for almost 50 years.
After the Mass we gathered together, enjoyed a wonderful meal and time of prayer together.

Stone Cold Bastards is a standalone book all about gargoyles trying to save the last remaining humans from the demons. I normally have a hard time with books told in a male POV and narrated by a guy, but this actually worked very well for me! Thanks so much for gifting me a copy, Melissa.
We quickly dive right into the story by meeting some of the grotesques, think gargoyles but don't ever call them that. The first bit of the story is told in Mordecai aka Morty's POV and we learn that the grotesques and the few remaining humans that aren't possessed are holed up in a cathedral. They're hiding from the demons that possessed humans who plan on taking over the world. With more and more sanctuaries falling under the demons sieges, theirs winds up being the last one standing. While the first half of the book is us learning about the day to day lives in the sanctuary, the last half is full of action. The demons want to take over and plan on taking down their cathedral by force. With the battle brewing, the humans and grotesques have to try their hardest to beat the hordes of demons any way they can.
Stone Cold Bastards is a unique read that had me rooting for the underdogs. The characters were engaging and while they could be a bit crass it suited their situation well. The world reminded me a bit of The Walking Dead as I was listening, though the demons are able to talk, fire a gun, etc. While the story does cycle through several different POVs it was easy to distinguish what was going on and who was narrating at any given time. All in all, this was a really good read that I'd recommend if you like edgy, end of the world type reads.
Great title for a book on gargoyles.
So many gargoyle books!!! This has to be a new thing. I'm seeing so much of them lately. Demons vs. gargoyles sounds interesting. Any romance in this one?
I love gargoyles - my friend from Deanna's World got me hooked on them. I will have to tell her about this book! Good review.
Stopping by from Bambi Unbridled for #getsocial2017.
Oooh I'll have to check out her page and see what else she recommends!!
I just love that title, haha!
Gargoyles are awesome, and yes you don't see them that much? Like the sound of this one.
I have never read a gargoyles book before. I don't mind male POV it can be fun I think.
hmmmmmm, I may have to check this out!
Yea! So glad you enjoyed it! It really is a different take with Gs.
It really was, thank you again!! | 2019-04-21T18:09:12 | https://www.lilyelement.com/2017/06/review-stone-cold-bastards-by-jake-bible.html |

When you are ready to purchase your first aquarium, one of the first things you learn is how to properly cycle the aquarium and how to slowly introduce new fish to avoid ammonia spikes while the colonies of beneficial bacteria are developing. That's easy enough to follow -- but what about when you have to move an existing community of fish to a new home? Maybe you moved and have to re-establish the aquarium, maybe you're moving to a larger or even a smaller tank; whatever the reason, there are ways to safely move the fish without as much risk of ammonia spikes.
A properly cycled tank contains a healthy colony of bacteria that breaks down ammonia from a fish's waste and uneaten food into nitrites and then into nitrates. In a healthy tank, there should be 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and less than 40ppm nitrates (20ppm if you have invertebrates such as snails or shrimp). Without sufficient amounts of beneficial bacteria, ammonia and nitrite in the water may be fatal to fish.
Beneficial bacteria live all through the water and on every underwater surface in the aquarium, but the water itself carries a very low concentration of bacteria so it's not very effective to simply transfer water from the old aquarium to the new in order to maintain bacteria levels. Ideally, you will be able to transfer some old filter media to the new aquarium, or even a handful of gravel or fake plants that will all have beneficial bacteria on them. Make sure that the materials of your choice stay wet with tank water until they can be placed in the new aquarium.
Alternatively, if you have EcoBio-Stone products in your aquarium, that will be sufficient to switch over to the new one. EcoBio-Block has a lot of beneficial bacteria living in its volcanic rock and has quite a bit of surface area so a lot of additional bacteria get transferred over from the established tank. It is not necessary to keep EcoBio-Block wet, but it may help eliminate any minor ammonia spikes that may occur after the transfer as there will be more active bacteria immediately if kept wet. EcoBio-Block will also allow you to wait a little bit longer before doing the first water change as it provides essential minerals that would otherwise have to be replenished through water changes, giving the fish extra time to de-stress after a big move without being bothered.
Make sure not to put whatever bacteria-containing materials you've chosen into the new aquarium until a de-chlorinator has been used in the water as chlorine will kill the bacteria. Keep close tabs on the water parameters for the first week after the transfer, doing minor water changes as needed to compensate for any ammonia in the system that may not be compensated for by the bacteria yet. Watch the fish closely for any clamped fins or red, puffy gills as these may be signs that the water parameters are off. If these simple guidelines are followed your fish should have a relatively effortless and healthy move. | 2019-04-19T12:43:08 | https://onedersave.com/itemlist/tag/nitrates.htm |
Saturday night Kid Rock dined with friends inside the private dining room at TAO Asian Bistro before heading upstairs to the new exclusive elevated VIP sky box overlooking the moat section and the entire club. Rock drank Jim Beam and Pepsi while enjoying cigars and as ladies clamored to get close to the rock star. DJ Vice unsuccessfully egged him on to come to the DJ booth to spin, but the entire group, which included comedians David Spade and Dana Carvey, did get up and dance any time Vice played a Kid Rock song.
Sitting at the next table over was the night’s host Stormy Daniels. The adult film star arrived directly from the industry awards party earlier in the evening. After walking the TAO red carpet Daniels was joined by friends and checked out the scene from her perch high in the club with a glass of Veuve Clicquot in hand.
Spotted earlier in the evening was the young Hollywood coupling of Jessica Lowndes and Aaron Paul. The 90210 beauty and the Breaking Bad actor were very affectionate throughout a dinner of TAO favorites.
Over at LAVO, adult industry stars Lexi Love, Angelina Armani, Alexis Ford and Mariah Milano gathered for the Adam & Eve Awards After Party. | 2019-04-22T12:26:25 | http://www.taogroupblog.com/2010/01/stormy-daniels-returns-to-tao-to-host.html |

In 2012, all eyes are on Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's second longest-reigning monarch, as England marks her Diamond Jubilee. In the wake of the celebration of her 60 years as British monarch, Trevor McDonald offers viewers a look at the customs surrounding the monarchy - from the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace to the Queen's royal visits - and a glimpse of the greatest historic royal places.
Arlington, Va. - June 15, 2012 - PBS Distribution today announced it is releasing Queen & Country on DVD and Blu-ray. In 2012, all eyes are on Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's second longest-reigning monarch, as England marks her Diamond Jubilee. In the wake of the celebration of her 60 years as British monarch, Trevor McDonald's Queen & Country offers viewers a look at the customs surrounding the monarchy - from the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace to the Queen's royal visits - and a glimpse of the greatest historic royal places. Queen & Country will be available on DVD and Blu-ray July 24, 2012. The run time of the program is 240 minutes and it comes on two discs. The DVD SRP is $29.99 and the Blu-ray SRP is $34.99.
"It has been remarkable to observe how the Queen has been able to update this remarkable institution with a modern face with such dignity and grace and charm," said McDonald. "If anything, it has made the monarchy a much more solid institution than we ever thought it could be."
This series contains four programs. Each of the four programs is described below.
London is, indisputably, the capital of Britain's royal life. Here, the young Princess Elizabeth grew up before World War II. Here she and her sister, Margaret, mingled, incognito, with the joyous crowds on VE Day. Here, she was crowned queen at the age of 26 after the death of her father, King George. Join Sir Trevor McDonald as he introduces us to the ongoing traditions of the monarchy in London, from members of the Grenadier Guards, the Scots Guards of Buckingham Palace and the Horse Guards and to the opening of the Parliament by the Queen.
The Queen's year is driven by her diary - and has been since her accession in 1952. See her in Scotland at the Braemar Gathering (which she has attended 70 times) and follow her on a visit to Liverpool - the sort of regional trip that is considered a great honor by the small city. And, we see that in 1953, filmmakers endeavored to shoot unique 3D footage, which is now held by the British Film Institute.
The Queen has some surprising possessions. Among them are Westminster Abbey, the Royal Swans and the Chapels Royal. These are "peculiars of the crown" - as are the Tower of London, which is part of a collection of Historic Royal Places, and the Tower of London ravens - it's rumored that if they ever left, the tower would fall. The Queen also owns the Channel Islands, where islanders still call Her Majesty the Duke of Normandy to remind outsiders that they were on the winning side with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. Not forgetting the Royal Collection - to which she has added nearly 150 portraits over the past six decades - follow the process used to create one of the most unusual.
The queen is head of the 16 realms that make up the Commonwealth. In Perth, Western Australia, Queen Elizabeth is on tour before opening the Heads of Government Meeting, which is especially important for the monarchy. The Commonwealth countries are being asked to change the rules of succession so that a first-born girl may inherit the crown. If approved, it will be the single biggest change to the monarchy for centuries. At the age of 85, the queen remains undaunted by long-haul travel - as this program shows.

It was very interesting to read this article from Stuff.co.nz today about early childhood education providers using Nintendo Wii and Skype in their centres. This was especially interesting after reading a blog post from Educational Origami about what age was appropriate for children to be using social networking.
In the article we are seeing technology being used in early childhood centres in a way that promotes both education and exercise. The Nintendo Wii is a very useful piece of technology that can get kids moving, especially in the wet winter days that we are getting at the moment. My sister, who lives in Australia, bought a Nintendo Wii for her children for this reason – keeping her kids active during the very hot summer days where it is sometimes better to stay inside an air-conditioned room. I must admit, that right now I would love for our family to have a Wii, as our kids are getting a bit crazy with all this rain! Of course the other good aspect of the Nintendo Wii at this age is that it helps build motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
The kids were using Skype also to video call other kindergarten children around the world! Well, in my view that is absolutely fantastic! The kids are getting a grasp of technology, able to learn about other cultures, countries and possibly languages. They get to meet new and different people and getting to make at least a little sense of the world!
All of this interaction is being closely monitored and it needs to be. As the article suggests there are critics of these schemes however we really do need to look at both sides of the situation. There is some good teaching and learning to be done with this technology. I would certainly be happy for my children to be experiencing this sort of learning at kindergarten or school. And just like everything, it needs to be balanced. It should not totally replace other activities.
One bonus for educators in primary and secondary schools is that the students themselves will already have started to learn about cyber safety and privacy.

I agree that these are wonderful opportunities for students at young ages. I have taught Pre- K for 3 years and I have struggled with finding appropriates uses of technology in my classroom. I absolutely love the idea of being able to Skype someone in another state or country, this would be a great thing to do if a class had pen pals in other schools. I would have never thought of that. I do not know of anyone who has used a Wii in their classroom but I think it would be a great tool for a PE teacher or Occupational therapist to reach those students who might not otherwise participate in physical activities to promote hand eye coordination and small muscle control. Thanks for sharing and I will pass the ideas along to my co-workers.
Thanks for your comment. I currently teach in distance education and have not used a Wii in the classroom, however I do use Skype with my students as it’s a great way to get a more face-to-face interaction with them. Skyping with pen pals is a great idea! | 2019-04-25T20:36:13 | http://teachupsidedown.narelo.com/early-childhood-education-technology/ |
Today, Forest Park Forever and the city broke ground on a $5.8 million project to improve Central Fields.
An important piece of Forest Park is ready for a makeover.
Today, Forest Park Forever and the city broke ground on planned improvements for Central Fields, one of the park's largest, most heavily used spaces (and home to such major events as the Great Forest Park Balloon Race and Glow, as well as LouFest).
Renovations for the 30 acres include four soccer fields and three rugby fields, as well as two restroom facilities, a concession stand, new trails, bike racks, soil improvements for better drainage, irrigated fields, and new trees and landscaping. The $5.8 million project has been funded primarily by private donations to Forest Park Forever.
"This Central Fields project has been on our list for many years, so we are excited about moving into the construction phase,” Greg Hayes, director of the city's Parks, Recreation & Forestry division, said in a release. “We have a fantastic project design that will greatly improve the experience of visitors enjoying an array of activities, from sports to concerts to festivals. Next year will mark an exciting new chapter for this iconic area of Forest Park."
With Central Fields undergoing the makeover this year and next, both the Great Forest Park Balloon Race and LouFest are temporarily moving to new locations, with the former held at Art Hill and the latter at the Upper Muny's Festival & Parking Plaza.
The renovation is part of a multi-year phase of improvement projects in Forest Park. | 2019-04-21T14:28:45 | https://www.stlmag.com/news/forest-park-forever-begins-renovations-for-central-fields/ |

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Marshalltown Community College baseball team built a nine-run lead and held on to salvage a split against NJCAA Division I No. 12 Iowa Western in Saturday’s Iowa Community College Athletic Conference doubleheader.
MCC won the nightcap 12-10 after Iowa Western claimed the opener 8-4.
The Tigers (19-29, 8-14) scored seven runs in the first inning of game two, sending 13 batters to the plate. The frame was highlighted by a Snayder Ruiz two-run single, and a Kaleb Hanks two-run triple. Ruiz finished game two with three RBIs while Hanks and Diogen Ceballos each drove in two. Jose Mieses, Ceballos and Adam Barrett had two hits apiece, both doubles for Ceballos, as the Tigers rapped out 12 hits in the victory.
The Reivers (40-14, 19-3) got seven runs back between the fourth and fifth innings to pull within two, but MCC came back with three in the sixth. The Tigers needed them all, as Iowa Western plated three in the bottom of the seventh.
Barrett tossed 3 1/3 innings on the mound, giving up five runs (two earned) on six hits, three walks and two strikeouts to earn the win. Greg Glass struck out the only batter he faced for the save.
Luis Duran was the only Tiger with multiple hits in game one, as John Magnuson drove in two runs. Juan Carlos Gonzalez took the loss on the bump, giving up eight runs (four earned) in five innings pitched on six hits, walked another five and fanned three.
Both teams close out the regular season today with another doubleheader. First pitch between the Tigers and Reivers is slated for noon. | 2019-04-20T02:15:15 | http://www.timesrepublican.com/sports/local-sports/2017/05/tigers-take-opener-from-no-12-iowa-western/ |
Positive affirmations can help us raise our vibrations into activating changes in the brain which release negative thought patterns, making room for spiritual transformations of the miraculous kind. They create an energy all their own. Affirming words, thoughts and actions give us the miraculous ability to raise the frequency of thought to change the body, mind and soul into healing action and manifestation.
When thoughts are repeated, they become beliefs. Belief brings in our reality. As we have formed thought patterns which do not serve us well as we go about our lives, we must form new ones to replace those we have decided to let go.
How do I heal this with your guidance by incorporating higher knowledge?
During meditation speak with your guides and loved ones intuitively and out loud. Listen and see through your third eye vision the words, people, places, things that will be providing these answers. Breathe in your affirmations and feel their energy flow through all your chakra centers. Courage takes practice.
Remember that peace is an energy. You are the creator. In most situations you have time to make a choice. Is this my circus? Are these thoughts coming from my true self or of those around me? Through choosing affirmation you can intuit the path to take at that time without letting the doubt and anxiety change what you know is really true for you. It may take you out of your comfort zone but that could be a very good thing!
Anytime that stress brings in these little voices, use your big inside voice to quiet them down. Write, speak, pray, meditate, walk, sing, dance and affirm to release and renew. Affirmations should be a part of your everyday life like brushing your teeth. Your quality of life depends on your thoughts. No matter how rich, poor, challenged or blessed you are, your thoughts create your reality.
As you would never approve of someone bullying another, you should never bully yourself by agreeing to negative thoughts about yourself. Their sources are varied but their voices are destructive in the same way.
The purpose of affirmation is self-improvement and spiritual connection. They should always clear as something that can heal or manifest. It should never be an untrue statement. The subconscious will start to believe the lie which in turn could truly damage your mental state. Instead of concentrating on lack of anything, concentrate on creating abundance and gratefulness. I am Grateful means that you have gratitude for life itself and as long as you are alive, there is something waiting to be discovered, explored, and manifested.
Self-talk can change your entire life setting and attitude if the frequency is set on positive reinforcement. You will let in the forces of metaphysical miracles when the mind can understand there really are endless possibilities in human evolution of the mind’s consciousness. How incredible is this tool that we are really only now beginning to understand through science and belief. If you are endless, and boundless in spirit then you are able to exist way beyond these physical bodies which we are also only just beginning to realize how to keep alive.
Through our diets, beliefs and physical motion these bodies will begin lasting much longer than ever and the mind will expand in its ability to heal. Crossing over will mean walking through to the higher dimensions without leaving our physical bodies at all. Our souls survive. We can always choose to incarnate or live as pure consciousness. In knowing that and reminding ourselves of it through affirming our ongoing existence, we give ourselves a glorious gift of peace.
Reaching that higher ground in an emotional flood becomes a practice that helps to bring in a thriving and growing lifestyle in affirmation of life. We may only be here a set number of years right now in these lifetimes, while we are here and alive, we have purpose and meaning. So do the words you speak to yourself every day. Make sure they are filled with unconditional love and understanding for all you have been and all you are learning to be. Make sure they are sprinkled with forgiveness and humor. Know all you have learned so far is setting you free. You are always in charge. Your thoughts and no one else’s are all you need to affirm how magnificent in soul you really are. | 2019-04-21T08:18:39 | https://www.psychicmediumjudilynch.com/judis-blog/affirmations-to-reach-higher-ground |

Once again it is foodie Friday, and we are bringing you some great, nutritious recipes for your Child with Cancer that the whole family can enjoy.
It is vital that Children with Cancer, including Children with Brain Cancer, eat well-balanced, nutritional meals and snacks in order to maintain their weight, rebuild any tissue lost in treatment, and strengthen their immune system and power it to fight against the brain cancer.
The occurrence of malnutrition in children with childhood tumours is multifactorial and develops during therapy for cancer in 40-80% of children. Malnutrition is more commonly seen in patients with advanced Neuroblastoma, Wilms Tumour, Ewing Sarcoma and advanced lymphomas.
Malnutrition is usually more severe with aggressive tumours in the later stages of malignancy. Children who have a poor nutritional status have lower survival rates compared to those with a good nutritional status.

Apple cider is good too, just a tablespoon with water twice a day will cut the flu symptoms.
Here is tried and true, souther flu-kicking remedy. Drinking this when I first start to feel sick, kicks the virus out. If taken during cold or flu recovery, helps ease congestion and prevents cough.
8 oz of hot water, 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 jigger whiskey, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 2 shakes of cayenne pepper. Stir and drink slowly. Enjoy.
I don't usually have fresh ginger on hand, but do right now. I have been using it in a warm apple cider vinegar drink. So tasty!
Mix together in a larger mug or to go coffee mug to keep you cozy when you go out in the cold.
I think I would especially love this if I had a cold or the flu.
By the way, after I finish the drink, I chew on the pieces of ginger in the bottom of the mug. One at a time. Great when you have the munchies.
MtM, I just put too much ginger in my smoothie. It tastes spicy but I figure it can't harm now that the cold is setting in.
I have to share a wonderful remedy that provided immediate relief and nipped my flu/cold/sore throat or whatever I was coming down with immediately.
In a blender, blend an entire bulb of raw garlic (I know lol that's alot! ), a huge slice of ginger, 3 tablespoons of raw organic honey, a tablespoon of organic cayenne pepper, 4 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar with mothers, 1 lemon squeezed, 2 cups of water.
Drink a sip of this special concoction every few hours (sip at first to make sure your stomach can handle it, and drink more if you can! ). This brought immediate relief to whatever I had going on! I am pretty healthy and typically I have other protocols that I employ (organic supplements), but this year, I am super passionate about using "whole real foods" for my body so that's why I tried this. My only warning is that you will reek/smell like garlic for at least two days, but I was so amazed at how quickly this worked that I had to share this remedy!
While I am a firm believer in the healing abilities of ACV, I must admit this time that it couldn't overcome my flu. The flu already had a 3+ day head start, I was taking 2 tablespoons of the highly known brand of ACV, along with a tablespoon of locally produced honey in 6 ozs of distilled water.
While this combo would knock out the side effects for approx. 2 hours, the flu fought back each time to the level of intensity that had been there previously. I did this 3 times a day, same results each time. Finally had no choice but to go to the doctor getting Tamiflu and a Z pack.
While I haven't read thru all the posts, from this experience maybe because I didn't start early enough this was too little too late. I for one will continue with the ACV in the future.
Was the water hot when you added it? Hot water or very warm water destroys the healing properties in both ACV and honey.
I have not had the flu in years and my first day on vacation I started getting the flu symtoms. I immediately pulled up EC website to find a natural remedy, I started taking 2 tablespoons of ACV 3x a day for 3 days. I started feeling better after the first day. ACV & Virgin Coconut oil are my go to natural remedies . This site is amazing!!!! Thank you so much!!
I am amazed at how good it works. I have been on this site for 2 illnesses and both were cured with ACV. Old school cures do work! There are healing properties in both ACV and raw honey. Why suffer huh? Spread the news to your friends is my new motto.
I’ve also been seeing a lot of improvement using one teaspoon of ACV in 6oz of warm water with a few lemon, honey, and menthol lozenges dissolved in.
I can’t believe how well this works. I’m still in shock!
2 days ago, I started to become sick with the flu when I was on a 18-hour flight. On came the chills and fever, and then my nose kept running non-stop. To make it worse, the changing cabin pressure on the descent gave me excruciating sinus pain and made my ears clogged to the point where I couldn’t hear out of both ears anymore. I can’t take cold medicine because I have thyroid disease, and I am slow to recover because my metabolism is very slow.
Yesterday my sinuses and fever got worse. I remembered reading about this remedy on Earth Clinic and I was eager to try it. Luckily I had all the ingredients on hand. I used V8 Spicy Hot juice, lemon juice (bottled), minced garlic, a lot of tabasco sauce (as much as I could stand) and a dash of celery salt for taste. I heated it in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes and then sipped and inhaled the fumes as directed. About 10 minutes after I started to sip it I noticed an increase of nasal discharge. I had to keep blowing my nose over and over again, but this time when I blew my nose I actually felt like I was clearing it out, instead of the feeling of blowing your nose and feeling like it gets clogged up again 5 minutes later. The pressure in my ears released about 60% and I regained most of my hearing. My fever increased and for a few hours I felt pretty rotten, even though my nasal passages had cleared. But in a few hours I felt at least 60% better, which is amazing considering that it usually takes me 3 weeks to recover from a cold! I slept all through the night with no problem.
This morning I made another tomato tea. While drinking it, I felt my left ear “pop” and the pressure released. I now have full hearing in my left ear and a 70% improvement in my right ear. I then took a hot shower afterwards (the steam helps to open the sinus passages) and kept blowing my nose. My nasal congestion is about 85% gone, I don’t have a fever or chills anymore, I got most of my hearing back and I don’t feel groggy anymore!
It doesn’t seem so crazy why this works when you do some research on capsaicin. Capsaicin is also the active ingredient of pepper spray. Capsaicin is an irritant, and when you inhale pepper spray, your body pushes it out by forcing your sinuses to clear themselves and making your nose run uncontrollably. Have you ever eaten a really spicy dish and had your nose start to run?That’s the capsaicin at work.
I have Vietnamese friends who swear by a similar remedy that works in the same way as the tomato tea. They swear by eating pho (a hot fish/noodle soup) when you are sick. They put a lot of Sriracha (Vietnamese hot pepper sauce) in the soup and breathe in the hot fumes. The steam and pepper helps open and clear the sinuses.
I have also been drinking echinacea tea with a tbs of coconut oil and I’ve also been drinking some ACV throughout the day. (I don’t take the ACV too close to the tomato tea though, because ACV is alkaline while the tomato tea is very acidic).
EC: Check out the classic Tomato Tea Recipe from Earth Clinic here. A number one remedy for colds and sinus congestion.
Forever debted for this remedy. Sometimes I just opt for a tomato instead, or easier – a tablespoon of tomato ketchup is suffice. I think tomato is the star here. thanks earth clinic.
Realise I had a long lingering virus in my system. I pressed and munched several cloves of raw garlic and ate this with a little wholemeal bread and butter, hit the aspirin and VIT C and I am pretty sure that has done the trick! I also had the beginnings of a gastro attack and a strong drink of ACV and water stopped that in its tracks last Sunday. Reading ads for NZ Manuka honey I see that they are pushing the fact that it induces the body to produce more H2O2."
Around lunch time I started getting the first signs of a flu… Just in nostril. Post nasal drip, beginning to feel that flu like symptoms coming on. Later in the afternoon some sneezing began.
I took an cotton ear bud, dipped it in ACV then inserted it into my nostril. Made my sneeze straight away. So blew my nose and tried again, this time holding off sneezing while I did both nostrils, and sniffed in, held it and the gave the biggest sneeze.
I repeated the process immediately. its a little un comfortable/irritating. but I felt better almost immediately. Later that night I repeated again twice. Swabbed the inside of each nostril deep with ACV soaked cotton tip. Sniffed in hard, held as long as I could, then sneezed a few times.
The amazing thing is the next morning I work up feeling fine.
I am so very very thankful for you, I have influenza I was in the ER Sunday night- could not breathe they did take a chest xray and said my lungs looked good other then the blotch on the right lung from the influenza. They tested my blood to make sure of no clots and they gave me oxygen while there and vicodin to take home. However they could not give me anything else because it had already been 5 days. I was taking an antibiotic I had in my cupboard it is for upper respitory and also phemonia, big mistake as it did not help. As I know something that is viral can’t be helped by antibiotics. I have been taking at least 8 vitamin D3’s well I started that yesterday, boiled some water with ACV in it yesterday and inhaled it into my lungs, and then I also drank some ACV in tepid water. I also been doing Mega vitamin C (well it is called ermergenC) 1000 mg in one glass.
I've used apple cider vinegar for a cold successfully but for a flu, it did very little if anything. No change really whatsoever. I've had one of the worst strain of flu for about 4 days now and I have taken more ACV than you could shake a stick at and nothing. I've also been taking colloidal silver, black strap molasses, liquid chlorophil and tea with ginger, honey and lemon. The tea has worked the best in stopping the cough.
I became ill with upper respiratory symptoms on Wednesday, and by Friday morning I was unable to go to work. On Saturday, I was so congested I could not breathe out of my nose. The over the counter medication had stopped working and by nightfall, I knew I was in trouble and would not be able to sleep. Suffering from an unbearable headache, overall aches and pains with fever, in desperation I searched the internet hoping to find a natural cure, which would provide me with some relief until I could call my doctor on Monday morning. I came across your website and sent my husband to the store to buy the ACV. I took 2 Tablespoons in 8 oz of warm water for my first dose at midnight and woke up at 4am and realized I could breathe, – my nose had cleared! I took another dose before going to sleep, and another around noon. I felt reasonably well to cook dinner on Monday night and went back to work on Tuesday. This remedy is nothing short of a miracle for me and I cannot wait to share it friends and family. Now that I feel better, I am anxious to investigate the rest of your site. ACV will definitely be a regular part of my diet, as I am a chronic sinus sufferer. Antibiotics offer some relief, but do not cure the problem. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this natural remedy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
At the first sign of flu or cold, I drank 2 tablespoons of organic ACV with about 8oz of warm water, squeeze of lemon & honey for taste, every morning for about 3 days. Almost everyone in the household is sick, however, the ones that tried this concoction never did get sick. Thank you to earth clinic for this wonderful recipe!!
p.s. Because of it’s many benefits, I have been drinking a cup of ACV “tea” (w/ 2 teaspoons rather than tablespoons) every morning instead of my usual cup of joe. I like to do this before brushing my teeth so I can properly rinse off any acid left over from the ACV – just in case!
I stumbled upon this site looking for a cure for the flu. I am amazed and had never heard of the healing powers of Apple Cider Vinegar. I am now a believer and will tell anyone who will listen. My symptoms started out as allergies then went to a sinus infection then started feeling like the flu. This went on for over a month with the flu being the last straw to bring me to the internet to search for an alternative to OTC medicines. Within the first few hours my symptoms had reduced in severity, the first to break was the fever. I have continued the last two weeks various concoctions. One being 2 Tablespoons ACV to 4-6oz orange juice. I would take this as much as 3x a day. I also suffer from back pain where I was popping pain pills and muscle relaxers and ibuprofen on a regular basis. Most of this has gone on for almost 2 years–the last week I have hardly taken any of them. I don't know if it is the ACV but I will continue using daily. I have also read it helps with depression and can't wait to see if it helps with my occasional bouts. I have also tried 2T ACV in 6oz of warm water with honey to sweeten–wasn't too crazy about that. I tried it today with 2T ACV and 8oz room temp water with a straw and this actually wasn't too bad. I think that last concoction is something I could mix and put in the fridge so that I don't have to mix it every glass. I will try this out and others and post again my results.
ACV, Orange Juice, and Honey!!!
Yea, for Apple Cider Vinegar!!! Thank God for this site! I did a frantic search after my husband and I were both attacked by a wicked flu bug that has lasted almost 3 weeks. We're finally over the worst symptoms; but the cough (especially his) was the very last thing to go…and it wasn't going without a fight. For 2 weeks, we had tried "everything" including OTC drugs. I also had severe phlegm in the back of my throat, and had lots of nasal mucous. Both were extremely difficult to expel; and his cough was so consistent that it caused him headaches and stomach cramping. I tried the solution of 4 Tablespoons OJ, 2 Tablespoons honey and 2 Tablespoons ACV…within 1 hour we were both relieved of the symptoms and before the day was over, we knew we were on to the cure! We heated our recipe to make it a little easier to digest. It doesnt taste too bad, but its a long way from tasting good, and the strong taste is "oh, so worth it"! Thank you all for your suggestions, and thanks for this site. It is a God-send!!!
My girlfriend got a flu over the weekend. So I went to earth clinc since they cured my allergies. Again ACV had a lot of results, so I gave her a glass of generic organic ACV. Within 30 minutes her fever was gone and so was her nausea and sniffles. And this was after a day of intense symptoms. The next day I poured some H2O2 in her ears as a precaution. By the third day all she had was a cough. I gave her about 2 glasses a day with 2 tablespoons ACV. I also had one glass a day and never caught anything. Thanks again Earth Clinic.
I have been waiting until the end of the school year to report on my success with organic ACV with the “mother”. I have been a tutor in an elementary school for three years now. The first two years I caught everything imaginable…constant sore throats, horrendous coughs, runny noses, on and on all year….I truely was constantly fighting something. Last Fall before the start of the year I began to take 1/4 cup of ACV with tomato juice faithfully once a day. AMAZING….I have not so much as had a sniffle the entire year….no flu, no colds, no anything. I’m in my late 50’s and until discovering ACV I believed I needed to quit a position with children that I loved!! This is good news in my world and what have you got to lose by trying it? I tell anyone who will listen about this simple natural “cure-all”….I’m living proof of it’s benefits!!!!
My husband had a headache for 2 days, achy body & fever on and off & nausea. I was afraid it was the start of swine flu. We had been exposed to people with it, For the nausea, I gave him some “pink bismuth”. But for the other symptoms, I used 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with about a cup of apple juice. He then drink some warm green tea. Within minutes, the symptoms went away and he seemed his old self again! He felt so good that he started playing his drums again! He hadn’t played in 2 days!I have used ACV for cough , but never for flu symptoms and I’m so excited it worked!
apple cider vinegar for flu .. I started feeling sick yesterday and i was worried about this swine flu so i bought organic apple cider vinegar, put 2 table spoons in a cup of water and sweetened it with stevia liquid extract. had a couple more doses of it and 3 hours later my flu like symptoms went away .
my symptoms were; a mild fever, cold sweating and diarrhea, i don’t know if i actually had swine flu but here i am feeling fine.
Thanks to God for showing this wonderful site. I was suffering with Sore Thoart and body pains, Sinus congestion. So, I went on to the internet to try some home remedies becoz i am tried of taking antiboitics. Then I saw many people taking about good things of ACV then I wanted to try. I took ACV in the afternoon after couple of hours I started feeling better. I am taking it daily and it’s improving better. Thanks you everyone.
Thanks for the website. I have used apple cider vinegar since the 70's but somehow (maybe good health) it went off my radar. I just caught a nasty flu and going into day #3 was not cheering me up. I looked on your site and my lights went back on. I did my 3 Tablespoons. acv + 3Tablespoons.honey and 1/2 t. cinnamon in 6 oz. water and within 2 hours felt like I just might shake this today. 4 hours later (now) I am feeling really much better and even the cough is almost gone.
Since I can remember, I have had one or two bouts a year with sore throat and cold/flu that turns into bronchitis. An elderly gentleman who remembered taking acv mixed with honey as recommended by his doctor when he was a child told me try it for my ailments. It has worked like nothing before! Mixed 50/50 with honey in a shot glass(for sore throat), as a straight shot(this burns the tummy a little), or 2 tablespoons with a cup of warm water for respiratory/sinus problems. I have not been sick since I started taking ACV at the first sign of illness. My children have used it as well. They aren’t real happy with the taste and smell but I am happy with the results! Hard for doctors to get rich recommending this home remedy!
My husband of 81 yrs recently was very sick with a bad cold (or flu?) and had a sore throat, and I (61 yrs old) felt I was also just catching it (just beginning to notice a scratchy throat, and have some congestion). We don’t have any “extra” money, and I hate the idea of giving it all to the big pharmaceutical companies for the “privilege” of taking potentially toxic concoctions, so I’m always looking for cheap and natural ways to do things, and I looked online for cold remedies, and found EarthClinic. That first evening I read about Apple Cider Vinegar for flu/colds/congestion, and both my husband and I immediately started using it (1 Tablespoon in a glass of water, 3 times per day). It didn’t taste wonderful, but wasn’t TOO bad, and, after all, we were using it as “medicine”…and it did cure both my husband’s and my sore throats (Mine within minutes, my husbands within 3 doses). The next day, while continuing the ACV 3/day, I also tried Jean’s Tomato Tea because we were both still so congested. My husband usually likes slightly spice-hot foods, and I usually don’t, but with the Tomato Tea he didn’t like the “hot” sensation of the spiciness, and refused to drink any more after that first try—while I was instantly aware of it clearing my sinuses and soothing my throat, so I continued to use it over the next 3 days. It worked well for me as a decongestant, but my cold was still very much “there”, and I began gaining weight (controlling my weight has been a life-long problem for me), so I stopped using the Tomato Tea, but continued the ACV 3/day. It has now been about a week, and my husband is completely healthy, and this morning I am feeling much better and much less congested.
On the second morning after my husband and I began using ACV, we both lost weight. He has continued with a loss each day, and has now lost 7 pounds in 7 days. I had lost 3 pounds, then gained part of it back while I was using Tomato Tea, but now I am slowly losing again, so long as I don’t eat anything with sugar and/or processed wheat flour.
My son had an awful flu that laid him off work for a week. I started to get the same symptons that he started with. I have used the H2O2 in my ears before and fortunately was able to stop it with that and bed rest for a day and also staying away from sugary foods. However, I am doing a pretty stressful job at the moment and finishing a Project at my volunteer organisation. This morning I woke up with my ears very sore and a sore throat. I used the H2O2 in my ears again a couple of times until the fizzing stopped which eased the soreness alot except for one spot in my right ear. I came to work and grabbed some immune boosters from the Health Shop but my throat was still sore. I found your site when I was looking up the info about H2O2 and colds and flu as I hadn’t read it for a couple of years and I had been telling the owner of the Health Shop about it. I saw ACV mentioned in the testimonials about using H2O2 orally so had a look at the ACV testimonials as well.
I’ve just come Back from the supermarket with ACV and measured a couple of tablespoons [by eye] with a teaspoon of honey into a mug of warm water. The relief to my throat was almost instant and I’m really enjoying sipping on it. I’m even starting to pick up a bit of energy too. Thanks for reminding me about something so effective that I had used in the past and had forgot.
Two days ago, I came down with a nasty flu, and had a fever of 102. Luckily, that’s gone down considerably, but a lot of symptoms remain. I googled flu cures, and this site popped up. I actually found a bunch of remedies here that seemed plausible, but the sheer amount of positive feedback for apple cider vinegar really caught my eye. I had some already, and decided to try it out. This morning, I heated about 10 oz. of water, then added 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and a splash of lemon juice. I hated the taste, so for lunch I tried something different (new, not found here).
I heated about 8 oz of orange juice, then 2 tsp of acv. As an addition, and because I’d read about its benefits here, aw well, I added a couple of shakes of ground cinnamon (probably 1/2 tsp or so). I can’t taste the vinegar, and I feel better already! Aches are easing, my stomach and intestines are settled, and I don’t feel nearly as “bleh” as just half an hour ago. I’ll keep it up for a couple of days, here’s hoping it continues working! I’m thinking of trying oil pulling next if this keeps up, I’m definitely a believer now.
I have been drinking ACV in hot vegetable broth for a couple of years now, every time I feel virus-y or like I’m coming down with a virus. I usually feel it in my stomach first, and I get exhausted and lethargic, and sleepy. Food is the last thing on my mind! But for some reason, when I feel bad like this, I’ll crave ACV in something hot and salty like broth. I usually heat up some water and add the vegetable cubes or broth mix, about 1-3 tbsp of ACV, a tbsp of lemon, and about 1-2 tbsp of fresh ginger (I get it pre-minced in a glass jar). I don’t know what it is, but within a few minutes of drinking this, I always feel so much better. It’s like my body is craving this concoction, and it’s the only thing that will make it feel better. Of course, you should adjust the measurements of ACV, ginger, etc to what you think your body will need…I usually try it out while its heating to check it for potency. I would love to know if this has worked for anyone else!
i’ve been decked by a really nasty flu for the last 3 days. After taking all the usual over the counter remedies for it to no avail, i decided to look on the net to see if there was any natural cure. Ran across this page on ACV, decided what the hell and tried it out. That was maybe about an hour ago and, no joke, i swear i’m starting to feel better already. I took two straight tablespoons and if my symptoms don’t clear up i’ll take another 2 tomorrow. Thanks for putting this up.
I have been taking 1Tablespoon organic applecider vinegar and 1 Tablespoon pure honey in 6-8 ounces room temp. water every day 4 5yrs and have not had a cold or flu. When I first heard about it from one of my old friends I was skeptical. But I have to tell you it is awful nice not to be down sick.I’m around a lot of sick people and I’m the only one OK.They ask me I just tell them but most people won’t It’s the ones like us that want to stay well that risk these old remedies.
First of all, I thank GOD for helping me find your site to try these wonderful remedies! I started out with a sore throat and gargled water mixed with cayenne powder; it helped short term. But then I had a nasty cough (associated with the sore throat), so I drank 2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar throughout the day. It seemed to make my coughs more productive. When I woke up the next day, I hacked up a lot of mucous, and felt like I was getting better. Then I made a pot of tomato tea and I am well again 🙂 Thank you very much! Your site is a priceless wealth of information.
I was really skeptical about this, but with a deployed husband and two kids (and after enduring a seven hour 103 degree fever that wouldn’t break with tylenol or motrin or excedrine sinus headache) i figured it was worth a try. I am so glad I tried it, within an hour my fever broke and already i can breathe through my nose. i will never suffer again like that! This is becoming a routine for me I can’t afford to be sick. Thank you so much for giving me a solution that still lets me be alert enough for twin 15 month olds!
Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: Ok, I know, everybody starts reading and thinking. Yeah right, none of these stories are true. Well, rest assured, they are very real. Now, I’ve been sick for going on 2 freakin weeks here. Have gotten zero sleep do to the headaches and sinus pressure. So, not being able to sleep here, I started surfing the net, and ended up here on your site, because I have been taking antibiotics and whatever else I could get my hands on to try to get the headache to stop and to try to get some form of relief. Well, I kept reading through all the postings and then I decided to give this a shot, nothing else worked, do why not! I poured about 1/4 cup [ACV] in a glass, then added about 7 or 8 ounces of water. Began drinking it… Keep in mind, I can’t smell or taste a thing here, so wasn’t that hard to do actually. I did this at 0615 and its about 45 minutes later now, and I am starting to feel the nasal airway open slowly, my ears, well, they sound like popcorn going off, and the headache is getting a little better. Now don’t go trying to give your loved one a kiss after drinking this tonic, they will have to no part of it or you for a little bit there. Give this a try,you just might be as surprized!
Cayenne is a cureall. I thought I was the only one who knew the connection between dairy and sinusitis and the flu, every time I drink milk or eat ice cream, I get sick with sinus problems and then came down with the flu. Cayenne with distilled water, lemon juice and acv, was the only cure which helped me flush out the fever. This may sound crazy, but dairy products make me moody and emotional, like I can feel how “SAD” the cows are, I try to only do organic dairy now.
For eleven years I have been a high school teacher. I have never missed a day because of illness. I have started to get a cold and felt ill, but nothing serious in all those years. And I deal daily with students who say they are sick and should be home. They sneeze and cough around me all day and I don’t catch a bug. Every morning, weekends included, I drink a tea of half cup of very hot water with a large spoonful of honey stirred in, a glub, glub of vinegar poured in, and shot of some kind of juice (grape, apple, berry) to enhance the flavor.
Hi, I have had a recurring Urinary Tract infection so far 3 times in the past 6 months, to which my Dr has prescribed antibiotics. I felt it coming on and as my Dr was out of town was unable to get my prescription refilled for antibiotics. As I was in a great deal of pain (for 3 days and popping AZO tabs like mints) I was searching the internet for a natural remedy and came across this website. I did the vinegar and baking soda remedy and within a few hours the pain was completely gone and has not returned. I didn’t have ACV on hand so I did it with just plain white vinegar (2T), baking soda (1t) and water and added a few drops of cayenne pepper. I am so happy!!! Yesterday I was coming home from a trip a feeling myself coming down with Flu Sx (achy, sore throat, and weak). I took some Advil to get thru the long car trip home. When I got home I was exhausted and went right to bed. When I woke up I felt horrible as I could barely swallow, my ears, and face (sinuses) hurt, as well as achy joints all over. I was eager to try the ACV and baking soda (added cayenne and echinacea drops too) cure and took the first drink at about 3 am. It is now 2pm the next day I have taken about 5 glassfuls and I feel 100% better. I still have very mild tired feeling but all other sx are completely gone. Its amazing!
I'recently had a severe flu. My muscles tight, energy low. I made a bath of 16 oz., apple cider vinegar, 1/2 bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 2 cups epsom salts, and 10 drops eucalyptus oil. before the bath I could barely move, no energy, poor breathing. Within an hour after the bath, I was already healing. Took another one the next day, and could tell that what could have been a week of illness, was already on its way to recovery. i take acv daily also: 2 Tablespoons, 1/2 lime, and 1 Tablespoon of raw honey. – I was told this brings the body's ph to 7. (perfect balance) I have given this formula to many people and have had much feed back about more energy, better digestion, etc. A good way to begin the day, setting the body's stasis point well, which lessens cravings for sugar.
I started taking ACV on a regular basis after reading about its health benefits on this web-site. I found it very helpful in relieving my nausea caused by, what I believed, a stomach flu (which my daughter and husband already had gone thru several days ago). When I felt the symptoms myself, I googled some cures and that’s how I came across the information about ACV. I’ve been taking – for three weeks now- on and off- 1tsp ACV diluted in 1/4 cup of water, three times daily. I noticed though that if I don’t take it I start feeling nauseated. The nausea doesn’t go away until I sip another dose. Yesterday I took a Zantac pill which helped me in 20-30 minutes. My questions are: Does taking ACV on a regular basis cause any adverse effects? Is it possible to get accustomed to taking it and have difficulty stopping later?
My nutritionist gave me the following advice: I’m steaming for my lungs and sinuses, 5 min. every 12 hours, …steam is perfect just before the boil, taking it in alternative ways, every which way possible, in mouth out mouth, mouth/nose, one nostril/mouth, one nostril/other nostril, one nostril/same nostril, etc. to chase out the germs wherever they may hide, germs that cycle in 12 hour increments. Rules are twice only per day. No more than 5 min. NO burning of nostrils (causes bugs to burrow deeper), so care must be there not to make the steam too hot or too much.
And baths with apple cider vinegar (you can use the cheap kind for baths), a cup per bath, are supposed to make viruses take a hike. I’ve seen it happen, esp. with young kids who spring out of the bath ready for action afterwards, if it was a virus, that is. I’m just soaking my feet tonight, too lazy for the bath. But the bath is supposed to create a ph that makes a virus split. Let me know if anyone finds this works, as I’ve seen several cases.
I have been sick for three days and just tried the Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon Drink and within 5 mins my nose and congestion has started to break up. Thanks for the tip.
You can add 1/4 tsp cayenne, and 1/4 tsp fresh ginger also if the first three ingredients don’t work right away.
Mix in a little warmed water to liquefy, drink, and then rinse the teeth thoroughly. After the initial rush, you can drink warm tea, or water to settle the stomach. Most have an immediate reaction where they get their voice back and clear out the mucus in their nose and throat. Try it, all the kids do, and now even their moms drink it and swear by it! One mom even works at the medical clinic and uses my cure instead of the doctor’s one.
Tried this a few times. Didn't noticeably help. Sorry.
Carol's cure all drink was the best remedy I tried so far. I tried the tomato tea and it probably does boost the immune system, but this remedy did stop the thick phlegm that was blocking my airway and causing me to cough like crazy, and it worked almost immediately. I drank this twice yesterday and plan to have it twice today.
When I was a young kid one day my sister came home and said that she had the best snack at a friend’s house on the way home from school. She said that she would find out exactly what it was and that she would make us some one day. Her friend’s grandmother had taken garden fresh cold thinly sliced cucumber slices and thin slices of sweet vadalia onion, sprinkling a fair amount of salt and pepper and then covering them with White House Apple Cider Vinegar(5% Acidity) letting them soak for ten or fifteen minutes. The girls used little wooden skewers to stab the sour & tangy vegetable concoction and used a small round soup spoon to sip the sour vinegar juice – they also had it served with an ice cold 6 oz bottle of Coca-Cola over ice (Talking about the acids, lol!!!). I had always has a taste for sour things like pickles, mustard, sauerkraut, and plenty of ACV on my turnip greens. After having this concoction once I soon developed a craving for it. It seemed whenever I was sick and had a fever, sore throat, ear infection or just about anything I would always crave the sour taste of these cucumbers, onions, salt, pepper, and plenty of fresh apple cider vinegar and would start out nibbling on them slowly until after ten or fifteen minutes began feeling better. No sooner that I would finish them it was no time until I was feeling so much better. Even before I heard that ACV was really good for you in my mind and my heart I knew that there was something really special about apple cider vinegar because every time I consumed it I seemed to get over what was ailing me in no time and was heeled and it sure did make a believer out of me. It just works and I began to swear by it to all of my family members and to anyone else that I could testify too because I wanted them to get the same fast relief from ACV that I had received.. My sister that had turned me on to this supposed snack that turned out to be a healing remedy already liked this concoction and it didn’t take much to convince her that it ! was a po werful aide in healing just about anything that ailed you. My sister and I still have the cravings for this vinegar concoction and my niece has also taken up liking the concoction also. I know that it’s not for everyone because there are some out there (like my fiance) that can’t stand the thought of eating or drinking anything with ACV on or in it. Good luck to all of you that are willing to try this powerful anti-oxidant, it will change your life.
Normal vinegar can be a useful cure to the common flu. Although it’s not a miracle cure and takes about 2 days to clear up the flu, it’s very effective since most people with flu are ill for just under a week while taking medication. When I was a child and an adult I soak a cloth with vinegar and wrap it around my feet. Hoping to extract the heat from my feet hence lowering the temperature and curing flu.
I have had heartburn, indigestion, flatulence & etc., all in all, I have bad stomach. However, I got to know about apple cider vinegar few years ago through my pharmacist friend. Since then, my stomach condition never felt better! Then, I began to be my own doctor. Whenever I have sore throat or infection (tonsillitis), I gulp down ACV. Well, I strongly think that the vitamin C in ACV helps me a lot during fever or flu. I always recommend to my friends although most of them fail to appreciate or admire the goodness of ACV because of the taste & aroma. Can’t blame them!
I have been real sick with a viral infection and flu my neighbor fixed me some Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey. Equal parts of each. It has worked wonders. It cuts the phlegm in your throat and helps with all that was ailing me. I am so glad to find out about this. I also heard that cinnamon with it works wonders as well. Just a teaspoon or so. Thank you and God Bless. | 2019-04-25T12:30:43 | https://earthclinic.com/ailments/flu/apple-cider-vinegar-remedy/ |

Chilli is probably my favourite home cooked meal (okay, I know I’ve said before that pizza is my fave but I’m going to class that as more of a snack or, you know, addiction). I could eat chilli by the gallon.
I’m not vegetarian, but I find eating veggie meals regularly is a great way to cut down on fat, get your five a day and be a little kinder to the environment, not to mention saving a few quid.
So I knocked up this vegetarian chilli and it’s now a staple part of my cooking regime, I honestly love it. It’s got all the same flavours of my old beef chilli recipes and just as much punch, and piled on top of a delicious baked potato makes for a mouth-watering meal.
Seasoning is essential to this dish, so make sure your store cupboard is stocked up! Dried garlic flakes (or fresh if you’ve got it) go into the pan to cook with the onion and carrot, and while paprika, cumin, cinnamon and chilli flakes are a great flavour combo for chilli. And, of course, salt and pepper for good measure!
2. Into a hot frying pan, add the onion, carrot and garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
3. Then add, well, pretty much everything else! The tin of chopped tomatoes, veggie mince, pepper, tomato puree and all the spices – paprika, cumin, cinnamon, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. This is a vegetarian recipe, of course, but if you really feel like you need some kind of meat in there, you can add a crumbled beef stock cube into the pan at this point too. But, I promise, it really doesn’t need it! A vegetable stock cube will do the job.
4. Simmer for 15 – 20 minutes with the kidney beans going in for the last couple of minutes.
5. Pop the potato out of the oven or microwave, open it up and pile on the chilli!
When you think of chilli, it’s all about big, bold spices – that’s no different when it comes to this veggie version! Make sure you’re generous with your seasoning because you really want that flavour to shine.
Try swapping out the potato for a scrumptious baked sweet potato instead. Y-U-M!
Always go overboard on how much you cook here, because these leftovers make an excellent lunch the next day! | 2019-04-23T08:22:44 | https://thisgirleats.blog/2017/06/21/vegetarian-chilli-and-baked-potato/ |

Vodacom, a South African telecoms firm revealed it had signed a roaming and facilities leasing agreement with Telkom, South Africa’s biggest fixed-line operator.
According to Vodacom, Telkom customers will be able to roam on Vodacom’s 2G, 3G and 4G networks with full effect from June 2019. However the company did not specify the value of the deal.
Speaking on the partnership, Shameel Joosub, Vodacom Group CEO said “this partnership between the country’s fastest growing networks will also result in reduced network deployment costs for Telkom and cost savings for Vodacom”.
Telkom, which is looking to expand, said the agreement will allow it to use Vodacom’s towers, antennas and shelters to build out its own network. To lower costs and compete with wireless operators like MTN Group and Vodacom, especially with a focus on mobile and broadband, Telkom revamped its services in 2016.
Telkom said it will discontinue its current roaming agreement with MTN, a deal which expires in June 2019. | 2019-04-25T00:16:45 | http://footprint2africa.com/topics/telecommunications/vodacom-telkom-agree-share-networks-south-africa/ |

I like to recycle bottle caps in a creative way to show shape and symmetry. You can create several snowmen from bottle caps by attaching eyes and a piece of ribbon, then creating a hat and a nose and drawing buttons and a smile.
Cover the table with newspapers. Provide yourself or your children with paint and brushes. Explain to them that they will be painting two bottle caps and allowing it to dry while they create the hat and nose.
Cut out a small rectangle (1/2 inch). Then cut the rectangle in half to make the nose of the snowman.
Make a small red and white Santa hat using red and white construction paper or felt. You can fold the top of the hat over so that it looks like the top of the hat is drooping down.
When the paint is dried, glue both bottle caps together. You should glue the edges that will touch (the top and the bottom caps). Allow this to dry then take two small pieces of ‘googly’ eyes and glue them on the top bottle cap.
After the glue is dried, then use a 6” piece of colored ribbon.
Wrap the 6” piece of ribbon around the two caps in the middle. Use extra glue to bond the middle since it is not so strong. Wrap around the middle several times until it looks like a scarf. You may also tuck the end of the ribbon in the scarf to hold it.
Demonstrate gluing the hat. Finally, draw 3 black dots on the bottom cap for buttons and a smile on the face.
Note: You can glue a pin behind it to make a pin or attach a piece of string to make an ornament.

Endlessly open to admiration and interpretation.
Some laws need explanation. Others are understandable based on their nature. They affect our shared feelings of right and wrong. That you cannot kill your noisy neighbor is morally self-explanatory. Yet the less straightforward laws can often be most interesting ones, particularly if they undergo constitutional court review.
The Biblical Ten Commandments, standards to live by, were delivered from Mount Sinai by Moses. Many religions have since adopted them in one form or another. Sermons and teachings served to explain and interpret them over the centuries, understandably since each generation wants to understand the laws and beliefs that individuals and communities are asked to live by, and to sense they are true to human nature.
Democratic laws are not commandments. They are debated in legislatures before being passed and taking effect. In a perfect world we'd like to believe that all sides are heard for all proposed legislation, the final vote the culmination of a rational process in which each legislator has acted freely, without political pressure, according to conscience. But the world isn't perfect and laws can be passed for political reasons that can violate either our sense of right and wrong or even our national constitutions.
For spiritual matters, we each have our conscience as guide: the court of the soul can be unforgiving. But for errant legislation, we must often turn to the national constitutional court to arbitrate whether a law is acceptable.
"Jane Roe" McCorvey: Second thoughts.
In the United States and Italy, the constitutional court exists to review matters of law in light of the wording of their country's respective constitutions. Here is where the similarities end. The constitutions of the two countries came into being during different periods of history. The U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1787, after the Revolutionary War, while Italy's was drafted in 1948 following World War II.
Logically, each constitution was written to reflect the times and cultures. As a result, the U.S. constitution concentrates much of its power on the protection of individual rights, while Italy's focuses on social justice. Combine these divergent perspectives with a parallel debate — whether the wording of a constitution should be applied literally or be interpreted in light of current affairs — and you get a wonderful mix of profound historical and cultural forces on which inspired judges can bring their intellectual and spiritual power to bear, having an impact on how we lead our daily lives.
I remember a non-constitutional case in Colorado where a man shot and killed his neighbor's dog because he said it was bothering his horse. Colorado law at the time permitted the killing of animals that were "worrying" livestock. The dog's owner acted as his own lawyer and, though he had never tried a case before and presented his evidence haphazardly, the judge found in his favor. Why? The killer of his dog was not being "neighborly" and acted outside the "spirit" of the law. Judicial interpretation all the way. His implicit message: "Talk before you shoot." Whether the decision was correct depends on your legal vantage point.
The constitutional stage is grander with far greater consequences. Constitutional courts confront difficult cases often in the midst of a roiling sea of public opinion. Consider abortion.
The U.S. and Italy initially approached abortion similarly. Since abortion's legality is not addressed in either country's constitution it was left to legislatures — in the U.S. those of the individual states, in Italy the national parliament — to rule on legality. Though Italy is home to the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican, which vehemently opposes the practice, a woman's right to an abortion in the first 90 days of pregnancy was guaranteed a secular, legal framework beginning in 1978. Abortion clinics are publicly funded and supervised.
U.S. abortion laws are state-managed. Restrictions vary, usually based on circumstances and the length of a pregnancy. In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court waded into deep water by taking on the Texas appeal case of Roe v. Wade. Jane Roe was an alias for Norma Leah McCorvey, an unmarried woman seeking an abortion, while Wade was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade, who argued for Texas' longstanding anti-abortion law.
The Court struck down the Texas law as overly restrictive, thus bringing abortion under the "right to privacy" penumbra that the Court had intrinsically tied to the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause. The clause bars state and local governments from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without applying Bill of Rights-style fairness. Privacy, said the Court, was a fundamental aspect of personal liberty.
The 7-2 decision touched off a firestorm regarding how the U.S. Constitution should be read and applied. The justices who opposed the verdict, Byron White and William Rehnquist, were livid, calling the majority decision an "improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review" in their vivid dissent. In the late 1990s, "Jane Roe" McCorvey joined the Catholic Church and became a pro-life activist.
Four decades later, the ruling remains among the most controversial in U.S. history. But few actually take the time to read it. It's a remarkable ruling whose wording addresses constitutional history in the context of modern science and societal concerns, seeking a solution that attempts to balance them all ("Population growth, pollution, poverty, and racial overtones tend to complicate and not to simplify the problem," the Court wrote). Whatever your view of the outcome, judicial thinking and a methodology are on full display.
If you've never read a constitutional opinion then here's a deeply worthwhile place to start. It also serves as a leg up on my next column, which probes Italy's judicial workings. | 2019-04-26T08:02:22 | http://www.closing-argument.com/latestissue/commandments |

As wonderful as reading is, there are pitfalls to being a fanatic.
Never fear. I’m not just going to point out why obsessively reading can sometimes be a bad thing, I’ll share some tips to address these pitfalls and turn them into merely adorable quirks. Let’s just consider this post a bookworm intervention to prevent or treat the unfavorable results of constantly reading.
When you own so many books, they take over every nook and cranny. Although Dr. Seuss would be delighted about it, it can easily and quickly appear cluttered, to put it mildly. While some of us like rooms filled and “cluttered” with books, it can be uncomfortable and messy-looking to others. To prevent being nominated to be on the show Hoarding: Buried Alive, we need to make sure our books are organized.
Solution: There are thousands of book organization options from clever and adorable storage containers, to arranging books by color, to organizing your books by size to save space. If you can stay on top of the mounting piles of books, your house doesn’t have to be that house.
Sometimes we bookworms prefer the company of paper, ink, and our imaginations over the company of people. And that’s the way some like it most of the time. But when you love fictional characters more than real people, it can be difficult to make friends or meet people who share your particular reading interests.
Solution: find others who share your affinity for reading by joining or creating book clubs, make friends with your local librarians (who love books too and are usually really, really nice), or put down the book just for a little bit and talk to people about other interests you have. You do have other interests, right? Well, if you don’t, you can try developing some.
When you spend your free time reading, you don’t watch shows that “everyone talks about.” From my own experience, I end up just sitting there with a blank expression on my face and feeling dumb. And confused. How do people have enough time to watch all those different shows?
Solution: You have to be picky about the shows and movies you decide to share with your precious reading time. As much as we’d love to be able to be completely caught up on all popular shows, last night’s sports matches, and local and global news and read our beloved books, it isn’t physically possible. Because there are only 24 hours in a day, and that isn’t going to change, you can pick your favorites and then just do research on the ones you feel you need to at least be aware of or informed about to function with your friends and co-workers. Yes, I’m suggesting you fake it or bluff as best as you can. Or if you just don’t care, admit that you aren’t interested in that stuff and find something else to talk about with them. I’ve done both, and I think they both have their place and time.
You can’t call yourself a book lover if you haven’t ever stayed up until at least 2 in the morning still wide eyed and anxiously flipping pages. The problem is that we have all the other stuff we need to do the next day: drive, work, take care of kids, live.
Solution: sneak in sleep (and more reading) whenever you can. Take a cat nap; just don’t forget to set an alarm. As much as we don’t want to do it, we also need to bite the bullet, turn off the light or device, and turn in for the night. The book will still be there the next day. Go to sleep. Believe me, I know this is easier said than done.
Difficulties can arise when those around you, even if you love those people, don’t share your interests. When you make a funny or clever allusion to a book, they don’t get it. You need to learn to “play nice” and deal with people who don’t appreciate your exact reading tastes.
Solution: try to compartmentalize yourself and your likes. Some of my siblings and my parents like to read, but generally we don’t share similar likes in what we read. So we focus on other things that we like to do together. We have created a pool of mutual allusions to draw from. My siblings and I can have full conversations in quotes from films we have seen together and make perfect sense. No, I can’t use some of my witty literary quips with my family, but I don’t hold it against them. They are still my kind of weird in other ways.
Well, let’s talk about one that is a lot tougher to handle. How do you interact with people who don’t like to read much at all? Some comments and conversations can make you feel like you’ve been punched in the gut.
Solution: I’m lucky enough that I haven’t really encountered this in my family, but I do know some people who fit this description in the “friend” category. If they really don’t like to read and make comments about the books you love, I only have one piece of advice–breathe. Just breathe. Breathe in the calming scent of book pages to soothe yourself, so you don’t lash out.
That dreaded moment when you see that a book you love is going to be made into a movie. You’re filled with skepticism and apprehension. Are they going to follow the book or at least stay true to the spirit of the book, or will they change everything? The movie version can be an anxiety-inducing experience for a devoted fan of the book.
Solution: sometimes skepticism is deserved. But other times, the movie does the book justice and even enhances our reading of the text. When I see a movie adaptation of a book, I usually go in with two sets of expectations–both low to prevent disappointment. If the movie sticks to the book, I expect that the screenwriters had to omit some details, change lines, and change scenes. If the movie deviates from the book, I only ask myself whether the movie was entertaining, thought provoking, etc. in its own right. Prepping myself in this way usually works. I can be pleasantly surprised or disappointed based on reasonable, objective expectations, not based on an emotional connection to the book.
What is your favorite book? I hate that question so much, but any time I say that I love to read, people ask me. I hem and haw.
Solution: I usually list the genres I like to read and then some examples in each genre. By the time I’ve finished listing books 10 minutes later, the person who asked me usually wishes they hadn’t.
Buying books isn’t cheap, just like everything else these days. When you collect or hoard books on a regular basis, you probably have to make room in the monthly budget for new books. When we have to choose between hot water and books, it’s a coin toss.
Solution: there are a surprising number of ways to save money to get books. You can get great discounts on ebooks for cheap and public domain ebooks for free. You can also learn how to budget better using these books.
If all else fails, go to the library. Free books! Free, people!
You desperately want to know the ending, but you don’t ever want the book to end. You love going to a bookstore but you feel the pain of the cost you pay when you leave. You both love and hate sad endings because they make you think, but you want the characters to be happy.
Solution: unfortunately, not much can be done to get rid of these conflicting emotions, so embrace them. They are what make us human and empathetic toward others. Enjoy the paradox, my friends.
Bookworm or not, we all need to escape the realities of life somehow every now and then, and out of the options, reading is by far the best one. After all, how else can we live a thousand lives without living vicariously through book characters? We learn so much about life and ourselves from reading. However, immersing so far into fiction can lead us to want the stories in the books we read and dislike our own lives. We get swept away with other people’s lives and stories. Usually it’s a good thing, but it can actually become addicting. I know I’ve gone through times when I wished for nothing more than to enter the story of a book permanently and never return to reality. It can be a slippery slope.
Solution: we are going to keep reading, just as we should, but instead of enjoying life through the stories of others alone, let’s try to make our own lives a little more interesting, a little more meaningful, so that returning to reality won’t be so hard. Again, I know this is harder done than said. I’m still working on this myself!

Thirty Oregon Wines in Thirty Days: day 5! Fun with DePonte. | the wine snob.
Thirty Oregon Wines in Thirty Days: day 5! Fun with DePonte.
Here we are on day five, and I ain’t even slowin’ down yet! However, I did need to give my wallet a rest and draw back on a wine I drank a few weeks back and LOVED- the DePonte Cellars Melon de Bourgogne, 2013 Dundee Hills!
Just when you think you’ve heard of all the wacky whites in Oregon, here comes another one! Actually, we’ve barely grazed the surface in the white department. More to come. This wine is actually fairly well-known here, and is considered to be DePonte Cellars “flagship” white, amongst a beautiful lineup of Dundee Hills Pinot Noirs. These wines are not distributed in South Carolina, so I was unaware of their existence until I moved here. Score!
We’ve now noted that both Alsatian and Spanish varietals can flourish here, and so little Melon brings us to France, specifically to the Loire Valley. In the Loire, Melon de Bourgogne is known as Muscadet. Let it be known that a dry Muscadet is perhaps one of my faaaavorite things in the world. Its a genius little wine; there are insane values to be found, they’re perfect for hot weather and with shellfish.
However, the Nantes region of the Loire Valley where Muscadet comes from is a stone’s throw from the Ocean, so it behaves a bit differently there. Noticeably minerally, briney (mmmm) and with a bracing “fresh ocean breeze” sort of quality. The Willamette Valley is fairly close to the ocean but there is that whole mountain range thing that separates them. We still do benefit from ocean breeze and fog, but not in precisely the same way that Muscadet grapes do. Throw that together with a different soil type and you’ve got a completely different wine.
The DePonte Melon takes on a very tropical and floral persona; very outgoing and sunshiney. Energetic, with bright and resounding jasmine, white flowers and honeysuckle. Golden delicious apple, pears and pineapple are also abundant, and it finishes with really nice acidity. Just about 1000 cases were made of the 2013 vintage.
Food-wise, this wine differs from its French cousin strikingly. Whereas Muscadet and oysters are a dream, this wine could handle an oyster- but perhaps one with a hint of something fruity/citrusy, maybe with the addition of a mignonette. And a more sweet/succulent oyster, not the ultra-briney ones. The DePonte website suggests scallops- I would say absolutely to this idea, but again, a sweet/fresh preparation rather than savory. Savory would be a no-no in my taste bud premonitions. The tropical and floral-ness of this wine would clash with savory. But, I’d be hard pressed to find a better Summertime sipper than this. Fo sho. Writing this has really made me long for warm weather. Le sigh….
A handful of other producers in Oregon make/plant Melon, but I’ve yet to come across one. The Eyrie made one in 2010, it looks like. Panther Creek did at one time, but I don’t see it on their site as of now.
That wraps up day 5! This wine was purchased at the “Deck the Hills” Dundee Hills Tasting Event held at Argyle Winery for $24. I think.

For decades, the DSLR (digital SLR) has been the most notable choice for anybody who wants to take their photography to another level. Whether you’re a starter or an expert, a DSLR offers three attractive substances: manual settings, excellent display quality, and interchangeable lenses.
That isn’t quite so clearcut now though with the appearance of mirrorless camcorders, which are becoming increasingly more popular and luring many audience from DSLRs.
A DSLR is still the least expensive way to get a camera with interchangeable lens and a viewfinder (you’ll find most entry-level mirrorless cams don’t have viewfinders) and, at the other end of the range, virtually all professional athletics, press, and wildlife professional photographers choose full-frame DSLRs over every other camera type.
If you’ve ever missed a shot because your telephone just didn’t concentrate fast enough, or your pictures are coming out blurry with your point-and-shoot model, step up to faster autofocus, more features, and higher quality results with an electronic SLR camera, or DSLR. Whether you’re a professional photographer looking to upgrade away from traditional SLR, or a novice who would like to capture family thoughts, vacations, and other incidents, Best Buy has all you need. Find a wide selection of cameras, lenses, and accessories from the top brands including Cannon, Nikon, Sony and more. Update to a DSLR offering the megapixels you will need for clear images, fast autofocus that freezes the action just where you want to buy, and other easy-to-use features that transform your picture taking. Plus, you can save money with the DSLR bargains you will discover here. | 2019-04-26T01:53:55 | https://amoregioielli.com/cheap-canon-dslr-camera-popular-cheap-dslr-cameras-sale-buy-cheap-cheap-dslr/ |

Exits from a job can be graceful, as in Groupon CEO’s Departure Memo, or contentious. From the employer perspective, getting the termination letter right will go a long way toward protecting rights and ratcheting down emotions.
1. Notice that the action was a termination or discharge.
2. The date of the termination.
3. The reasons for the termination. The description should give the employer a realistic chance of proving the basis for termination, and provide the employee adequate notice of the reasons for termination (e.g., “the employee failed to meet production standards”).
Don’t be too specific (e.g., “the employee failed to meet production quota of 18 widgets per hour three days in a row”), because this may create an insurmountable proof standard for the employer in litigation.
Don’t be too vague (e.g., “the employee was terminated for poor performance”), because this may unfairly fail to give the employee notice of the reasons for termination, and cast doubt on the employer’s stated reasons for termination.
4. The dates and subject matter of prior warnings. This information can be an effective deterrent to wrongful termination claims, particularly when documentary evidence supports the prior discipline.
5. Benefits to which the employee is entitled. These may include the right under COBRA to purchase continued health insurance coverage under the employer’s group plan and information on unemployment benefits.
6. Circumstances under which the employee had access to a second review or appeal of the termination. It may be of strategic benefit to the employer to agree to characterize the employee’s departure as a layoff, resignation, or retirement. State also whether the employee availed him- or herself of the right of appeal.
7. The employee’s last day of work. State what company property must be returned by that date.
There’s no law that requires an employer to provide a termination letter identifying the reason(s) for the termination. Some employers don’t want to do one because of concerns that they may be used as evidence to support a wrongful termination claim. Others don’t want to use the resources to submit every letter to a human resources representative or employment law counsel for drafting or review.
But, from a purely legal perspective, well-written termination letters can be an important deterrent to wrongful termination claims. If they’re done correctly, they can provide persuasive contemporaneous support for the termination and reduce the risk of litigation.
For all you need to know about discipline and terminations, turn to CEB’s Advising California Employers and Employees, chap 17. A sample termination letter—along with many other sample employment documents and practical advice—is in CEB’s Drafting Employment Documents for California Employers.

I am going to be looking at a 95 Casita Freedom Deluxe this week. the owner says that it has not been camped in for four years, his grand kids use it for a play house, it has the original anti-freeze put in it four years ago, he has sent photos and they look great as if the casita has hardly been used ai all, howevwer we know this is not true as it is a 95, I asked him to do a check of the fridge. battery, water heater, water flow to the bath, and sink, air cond, and the tires, his check turned out positive, everything works OK however he stated he would consider new tires as the Carlisles are four years old but not showing wear or signs of cracking, my question is what might I look for in a Casita that has been sitting for four years without use. I don't know if it has a hot water tank by-pass or if they put 6 Gal. of anti-freeze in the tank, I think there has to be a lot of unanswered questions, from visual indications it looks like it is worth the $6,500 he is asking. but I sure don't want to get in over my head with a lot of costly problems from the Casita just sitting idle four years, What are some of the things I should look for, if any one has any knowledge or experience or just suggestions along these lines I would certainly appreciate your thoughts.
i got into trouble with that when i switched from a full size trucks---there is much crazy discussion about what i went thru but there is one good thread on tow weight in the real world that might help.
Definitely worth taking with you.
Get under it, check for frame rust, cracks, etc.

The task context considers the relationships between business framework and project, which can be synergetic or competing.
The social context is the result of a project environment analysis internal and external.
The business case includes pre- and post-project phase. All processes are subject to an economic analysis recording and evaluating the direct project costs and the consequential costs and benefits.
The relationship between the environments and the project has to be evaluated and shown in a graphic. The evaluation results in appropriate measures for relationship management.
Project definition defines what is in the project, what are the limits of the project, what is the scope of the project. The definition concerns 3 dimensions: tasks, time and social aspects.
This analysis is carried out for the same three dimensions: tasks, time and social aspects.
It is critical to find out who supports the project, and who could be a hindrance.
What are the project theme and content? What environmental issues could affect the project?
Does the project match with the mission statement of our school?
What has lead to the project?
Which decisions have already been made? Which documents do exist?
What will be different after the project? What are the costs and benefits?
Who takes which roles? Who is project manager, team member, project coach?
Formulate the goals positively! Goal is profit!
Non-Goals are important. What should not be reached? Non-Goals could be goals of other projects.
Negative effects are not non-goals.
As detailed as necessary, as general as possible!
Goals have to be measurable.
Don’t describe measures how the goals should be reached.
Definition of goals requires prioritizing.
Goals affect amount of resources required.
Definition clarifies where to go and helps to cooperate.
Which problem should be solved?
What happened during the pre-project phase?
Who controlled the pre-project phase?
Who promoted the idea, who affected the idea negatively?
Which decisions have been made?
What will be after the project?
Which activities to be carried out after the project have to be thought of?
Project manager coordinates all activities. She/he alone has the right for amendments.
1.What does the project definition and the analysis of project context show?
2.What are the dimensions of definition and context analysis?
3.Which tools do you use for visualization of pre- and post-project phase?
4.Which tools do you use for showing goals, non-goals and main tasks?
5.What’s included in the task context?
6.Name and describe the different project roles, explain their main tasks.
7.What is the content of the social context analysis? | 2019-04-19T10:56:26 | https://lessons.lerntipp.at/4/lesson-plan-2-project-planning-concepts |
I think I saw somewhere Silver was a very short interlude and Jamie.wri intended to post Silver and Gold together.
I can tell you that Silver is about three pages as a word doc using standard size font. Gold, historically, has been one page. Since I've not seen it yet, I can't say how long it will be. So there could be a chance that both Interlude chapters will be posted together, but don't hold me to it.
I have done final edits on all the elemental interludes except Gold, which I'm still waiting on. We got through all the edits on chapter 45, the first chapter back in the 'present time' and it's a doozy. You're gonna love the answers it provides.
And some of the answers will be surprising.
Just because you have all read it is no reason to gloat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who don't know it, editorguy (AJ) has some stories posted at Awesomedude. There's also an interview with him.
We seem to have another long hiatus in prospect. We are now entering the second half of the educational year in most of Europe ramping up to the end of year/final exams, and I suspect that doesn't bode well for progress.
Again I would say I hope all is well in Icaria.
I've not heard anything from Jamie in some time. I did send him an email earlier this month when I received some spam. I had advised him it appeared someone had hacked into his email and changing his password should do the trick.
Well, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best that it is not for a 'bad' reason. If I recall correctly there was a hiatus of over a year first time, presumably when Jamie.wri was doing his final year. Perhaps he is doing a Masters or taking another qualification now.
At the moment, there is nothing more to be said, and I promise not to say it.
I noticed that the Scrolls has now fallen off the current list at AD. Let us hope that is not an ill omen.
The university year is now ending in Europe so perhaps some hope still remains.
I've noticed the same thing, but also noticed that there are several new stories on the list which would explain "Scrolls" getting pushed off of the bottom.
As much as I would love to see "Gold" and "45" posted and the story continued, Jamie's well-being (both mental and physical) is more important.
I figure that if I can wait patiently for a year for a new chapter of "Kandric" to be posted, I can wait patiently for anything new for "Scrolls" to be posted.
RL does have that nasty habit of showing it's ugly face from time to time.
It was Dude's decision to remove the Scrolls from the story page after six months of inactivity. The story is still available tho by going to the authors section and clicking on Jamies name. When there is finally a new chapter to post, it will reappear on the list.
I've still not heard from Jamie. I need to try again.
After an issue brought to my attention, I sent it on to Jamie in the hopes of getting an answer. I'm going to post most of it for you. There is something there not for public knowledge just yet.
Yes I did get your first mail and I've been meaning to get in touch with you, but life has really been keeping me busy.
I'm sure you're aware of the various financial crisis here in Europe. It something that's a serious problem and top priority in the EU and it's certainly impacted me and my work.
I've been a pretty busy guy for some time.
I have been working here and there on Scrolls. In fact I'm hoping to take some time this summer to do a few more chapters. I'd really like to get Book 2 finished.
The weather here isn't so good. Last summer we really didn't have a summer. Unfortunately I don't thing we'll have a very good one this year also.
I won't be coming over to the USA this summer, I might make a trip at the end of October into the beginning of November.
If I get some things accomplished I'll send them to you. My hotmail was hacked into and I changed the password, but then it happened again so I think I'm giving up on it.
I really haven't used it for a long time now.
Take care, have a good summer and I'll try and keep in touch.
The reason for the mention of my first email is I know that sometimes Spam can stop it and sometimes people don't think to check the Spam folder.
Well it is good to know he is alright. Things just aren't going great for him right now. We all have those times. This too shall pass I am sure. I just hope it is sooner than later. As do many I am sure. But most of all, I hope things get better for Jamie quickly.
Thanks for passing it along Jan.
It's been awhile since I've done any updating.
Over the weekend I sent an update to Jamie on something that I'd told him back in June about a policy change in the sick day payout at retirement from my employer that stood to screw me and a lot of others.
Interlude 7 Gold is on hold for the moment. He's gotten a section of it done. As you know also, Chapter 45 has been written. Jamie has chapter 46 written and is working on chapter 47. Most likely, Book 2, Part 4 will end with Chapter 50. I get the impression that these final chapters will not be released for posting until these last few chapters are done and ready.
Well, good news in a way. Perhaps he is doing a 'Kyle' and waiting to make it a Christmas or New Year present.
He did mention that he hoped to have them done by Christmas but didn't know. I didn't want to raise anyone's hopes by saying that.
Doing a Kyle? I'm missing something here.
Kyle Aarons The Kandric Saga.
Kyle started a tradition (perhaps accidentally or unintentionally) a few years back whereby he tried to post a new chapter around Christmas or the New Year every year. | 2019-04-18T12:53:16 | http://thetalon.ipbhost.com/topic/4874-just-wondering/page/2/ |

A new page has been turned in the Russian foreign exchange regulatory framework voting this week, and unsurprisingly it has been empty (again). The vote on the second reading of the Russian forex regulation bill has been postponed to autumn as ongoing geopolitical tensions are shifting priorities for the Russian Duma. However consultations of the Budget and Financial Markets Committee on the matter of prospective solutions of problems related to regulation of financial markets in Russia have taken place on the 15th of July.
According to information exclusively obtained by Forex Magnates reporters from sources familiar with ongoing discussions there is now additional information about the regulatory framework proposed by the Bank of Russia.
According to the Russian central bank there will be two categories of brokerages which are regulated. The first category entails prime brokers or market makers – those are accepting client money and are executing orders on the foreign exchange markets. The second category is allegedly called a “client” broker (which can be interpreted as a retail broker). Entities regulated under the second category are able to take client deposits, but are obligated by law to channel their order flow only to a regulated Russian prime broker.
For now there is no confirmation on the size of capital requirements for prime brokers and retail brokers. According to the information obtained by Forex Magnates no details have been revealed about regulation of introducing brokers which are not taking client deposits at this point in time.
Another key point which allegedly has been in the works is the process of client identification. According to current legislation confirmation of identity is only possible if a client presents his documents personally. Amendments to an existing law are in the works so that clients can identify themselves to brokerages by presenting a bank document confirming that the customer has been identified in person by a bank representative.
The news comes after a crackdown on offshore regulation in Russia has already been announced and in recent discussions of a draft anti-offshore bill, the Russian parliament has included Cyprus, the Netherlands and Luxembourg into its definition. The new law is aiming to crack down on tax evasion by Russian companies which are registered in tax heavens.
Are the retail brokers allowed to make markets/run a book, or is this only for STP ? | 2019-04-25T04:32:23 | https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/exclusive-russian-regulatory-discussion-leaks-as-voting-postponed-for-autumn/ |

These creative nursery colour schemes are guaranteed to get you thinking outside the (toy) box.
Nurseries are a fantastic opportunity to have some fun with your decorating scheme, and playing around with colour is a great place to start.
Our experts have chosen five inspiring colour combinations that are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing.
Warm and passionate, citrus colours are incredibly striking when teamed with understated cool neutrals. Think juicy hues of lemon yellow, orange fizz, kiwi green and blood orange.
Even a small dose of these bright colours will create an atmosphere bursting with youthful energy to match the little person who’ll be living in the room.
If you’re new to decorating with bold colours, why not try before your buy using the Dulux Visualizer app?
It gives you an instant impression of how your room will look once it’s been painted and is really easy to use. Simply hold your Smartphone or tablet up to the wall you want to paint, choose any colour from the Dulux paint palette and tap the screen to make the colour appear on your wall.
If you think blue and green should never be seen, think again! Grass green and sky blue not only make for a wonderful nature-inspired colour palette, they’re also calming hues that will bring a sense of tranquillity to your baby’s surroundings.
The colours contrast beautifully, as blue gives a real sense of space and freedom, while green adds depth and warmth.
Why not paint your walls green and your ceiling blue to echo the way the colours appear in nature?
Pink is still a go-to hue for many parents expecting a girl, but if you want to think outside the box, why not try pairing bright pink with turquoise? These colours may seem like a bold combination but when used sparingly they’re surprisingly appealing.
For a preppy look, pair an emerald green with a soft, muted pink like blush or dusty rose. Want to make a serious statement? Choose a moss green for the walls and ceiling and paint one wall in a brilliantly hot pink like fuchsia or orchid.
Give vibrant and uplifting aqua an urban edge by pairing it with a warm muted green. This modern colour combination is perfect for parents who are waiting to find out the gender of their child, or for those who want to create a timeless nursery space.
Combine with furniture in natural tones, such as brown and white, for an easy-to-live-with look that/s also timeless.
Give pastels a modern edge by pairing them with a soft shade of brown. When choosing the pastel hues, think candy colours: soft pink, lemon and blueberry. Alone, these shades have the potential to look saccharine, but when paired with a warm neutral, like mocha, chocolate or latte, they take on a modern, sophisticated feel.
Candy coloured pastels also look fabulous when paired with lots of white and warm wood tones, like oak and timber.
If you’re still struggling to choose your paint, why not pick a theme for your nursery and the colours will follow naturally? For example, a woodland theme suggests green paint, while a seaside scheme suggests blue and yellow. | 2019-04-19T14:20:06 | https://www.dulux.com.my/en/inspiration/creative-nursery-schemes-parents-stuck-colour-rut |
BMW Motorrad Australia has announced the pricing and specifications of the G 310 GS.
The BMW G 310 GS will be priced at $6,900 MRLP (+ORC), with BMW expecting the arrival of G 310 GS models in BMW Motorrad dealerships mid-October.
The BMW G 310 GS can be identified as a genuine GS at first sight. With its characteristic, high front fender, striking flyline and short, high rear, the BMW G 310 GS features classic elements of its big GS sibling models. Its compact proportions with a short wheelbase, a 19-inch front wheel and extended spring travel make for a typical upright posture, promising an agile, nimble riding response.
Like the G 310 R, the G 310 GS is also designed for the world market. It takes diverse fuel qualities as well as meeting all emissions standards and local requirements. It is at home on all the roads of the world, bringing the hallmark BMW premium aspirations to the segment below 500 cc.
The centrepiece of the new BMW G 310 GS is the 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine known from the G 310 R with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection. The capacity of 313 cc results from a bore of 80 millimetres and a stroke of 62.1 millimetres.
A salient feature of the single-cylinder engine in the G 310 GS is the fact that its cylinder is tilted to the rear and its cylinder head is rotated by 180 degrees: intake at the front, outlet at the rear. This configuration follows the logic of a straight, power-enhancing supply of fresh air-fuel mixture and also has positive consequences in terms of the bike’s architecture. This results in an output of 25 kW (34 hp) at 9 500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 7 500 rpm.
The new G 310 GS provides a relaxed seating position that enables carefree motorcycling pleasure both on the road and during excursions along forest paths and gravel tracks. As is characteristic of BMW Motorrad, all switches and controls are simple and secure to handle. Great importance was attached to simple and safe operation, taking into account the most diverse rider anatomies.
Bridge-type tubular spaceframe, upside-down fork and long swinging arm for a high degree of ride stability, a precise steering response and light handling.
In terms of its suspension, the new G 310 GS is similar to the G 310 R roadster in using a tubular steel spaceframe with bolt-on rear section that combines torsional rigidity with robust quality. Given its good stiffness balance, this provides the basis for excellent ride stability and a precise steering response. The front wheel suspension is taken care of by a solid upside-down fork while at the rear there is an aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a spring strut that is mounted on it directly.
Like all BMW motorcycles, the new G 310 GS comes with ABS as standard. It combines a high-performance brake system with 2-channel ABS for efficient deceleration and short braking distances. For use over light terrain the ABS in the new G 310 GS can be conveniently deactivated at the press of a button if required. The G 310 GS instrument cluster has a large liquid crystal display that offers excellent clarity and a wide range of information. | 2019-04-24T15:01:11 | https://www.roadrider.com.au/bmw-g-310-gs-confirmed-mrlp-release-date/ |
RIMLS institute and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, www.irbbarcelona.org) in Barcelona have officially agreed to collaborate in each other's research and educational programs. On the 3rd June 2015, Prof. Paul Smits, Dean Radboudumc, signed an agreement with Joan Guinovart, Director of IRB. This umbrella agreement paves the way for further strengthening of existing exchanges and exploring new opportunities for collaboration.
High-quality research is a corner-stone of the Radboudumc covering research from molecule to man to population. It is within this academic hospital setting that RIMLS works to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease and ultimately to develop tools for “Personalized Healthcare”. In his opening speech, Paul Smits noted the motto of IRB, ‘The medicine of the future starts here’. “I presume ‘here’, could also mean Nijmegen and not just Barcelona!” Present-day science tackles the most complex problems that usually cannot be solved by single researchers or even single institutions. Forming sustainable, interactive networks of scientists across international borders is indispensable for conceptual breakthroughs and translation of fundamental findings into clinical practice.
Confirmed in a second contract signed by the directors of the programmes, from next year, IRB Masters students will be able to participate in our Molecular mechanisms of Disease (MMD) training. It is a huge boost that a third party institute has such confidence in the quality of our research and education. Furthermore, PhD students will visit be able to visit each other’s centers, and PIs will be invited for seminars. We will also look at the possibility of joint grant applications. Finally, we intend to invite IRB top researchers to apply for the RU Excellence program and/or Radboudumc Hypatia fellowship programme.
The visit of the IRB delegation was very positive, setting a concrete basis for further cooperation between our institutions. | 2019-04-25T04:27:12 | http://www2.rimls.nl/news/rimls-irb-preferred-partners/ |

Tulpė Sanatorium uses medicinal peat and sapropel for its treatments. Peat forms at the bottom of closed water bodies (usually, bogs) covered with weed and residue of various (including medicinal) plants in the anaerobic conditions. For therapeutic purposes, medicinal mud of peat origin heated to 46–48°C is used. Medicinal mud packs are used to treat various inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Mud application improves peripheral circulation and tissue nutrition, treats chronic inflammatory diseases and has anti-allergic properties; therefore, medicinal peat packs help to treat joint, gynaecological, peripheral nervous system and other diseases.
Gelatinous organic matter with colloidal structure called sapropel takes several thousands of years to form from aquatic fauna and flora at the bottom of lakes. Sapropel is a peloid (mud) of freshwater bodies and bogs. Its composition is the result of a complex mud formation process. Sapropel is formed of decayed plant and animal plankton (small organisms floating in the water), benthos (organisms that live on the bottom of water bodies), and large aquatic plants, i.e. macrophytes (at the end of vegetation). Organic matter from the shores eroded by waves as well as matter carried by surface runoff, rivers, streams and air currents gets mixed in the mud. It takes several thousands of years for sapropel to form, so it is composed of matter free from any technological pollution and is highly valuable as well as organically clean.
Due to high content of B-group vitamins, micro- and macroelements, essential amino acids and bio-stimulators, sapropel is extremely valuable.
During the treatment, sapropel penetrates not only skin, but deeper tissue and organs as well. Sapropel applications improve circulation and metabolism, helping the body to eliminate the accumulated harmful and toxic substances.
Sapropel applications promote local blood circulation, improving tissue nutrition, speeding up resorption of inflammation areas and reducing activity of the inflammatory process. Medicinal mud relieves pain, vascular spasms, reduces capillary permeability, and normalizes immunobiological and neurovegetative reactivity of the body. Sapropel is used for full-body wraps, hand baths, mineral water and mud baths. | 2019-04-18T15:17:51 | https://www.tulpe.lt/en/lietuviu-gydomojo-purvo-proceduros/ |
Playgroups are important for variety of reasons, but the biggest one out of all the reasons is the role it plays in the development of a child. This prepares the child for school as basics about all the subjects taught in school are taken care of. It is also a place where children get an idea of their creativity and other interests. The importance of playgroup or preschool in a child’s life is many. We shall take a look at some of them.
Playgroups focus a lot on the development of a child, they use techniques enhanced specifically for this purpose. At such young age importance and focus should be given to the development of key physical features as well mental health too. Physical activities such as sports and games develop the muscles in the children’s body. At latter stages of preschool motor skills are given special importance; the stage by stage development of key aspects of a child plays a huge implication on the future growth and development of the child. So the importance of the kids’ playgroup cannot be neglected in developing a child to be a better and healthy human being for the future.
This is an important character for the success of an individual; team work is required for success in academics as well as work career. To hone these skills at an early age is an advantage for the child’s future. Playgroups focus on team work by making the children work in groups and also making them complete tasks and perform activities in a group. It also helps them build bonds which is an important aspect of growing up. This also builds up respects for one’s fellow human being.
Since playgroups focus on the development of a child rather than mold them into something specific the curriculum is based on key aspects and characters that a child needs. This makes the learning experience fun and life lessons are learned. Everything is designed to keep the child interested, from furniture to the teaching techniques utilized everything is child centered.
Discipline is easy to enforce with strict rules and harsh punishments, but its relatively tough task to make children understand it and develop self discipline. This is where the brilliance of playgroups comes into play; since the environment is so child centered the children develop respect towards teachers and fellow students along with a sense of self control which leads to developing self discipline. | 2019-04-22T22:38:23 | http://sowearedads.com/2015/12/18/why-a-playgroup-is-important/ |

Thinking creatively. Thinking big. That’s us. And if you are thinking of making this your home, consider that Richmond has an unmatched history of artistic excellence.
Right here, you can attend a symphony, watch big-name artists and check out museums and artistic achievements that are renowned worldwide.
And if you can’t find it here, there are arts and cultural showcases just an hour or so away in major cities: They include the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, rated the best in the country; the Air Force Museum in Dayton and a renowned aquarium and Holocaust Museum in Cincinnati.
Richmond and Wayne County have served since the late 1800s as a creative leader of everything from artworks to architecture, from music to museums, and from murals to mansions.
Now, we are known for chocolates and candies and an increasingly popular downtown area that’s filled with restored buildings, museums and murals of famous people and scenes from our history. The area’s centerpiece is the ornate train depot that was designed by architect Daniel Burnham.
We have a strong automotive history that goes as far back as the late 1890s. That fact is well documented through displays at the Wayne County Historical Museum and the Model-T Museum.
We are known as the cradle of jazz music because of the numbers of famous musicians that began or boosted their careers at Gennett Records. Hoagy Carmichael recorded “Stardust” there.
Gennett even has a lasting legacy in movies: If you hear the sounds of glass crunching or train coming, it was probably recorded there.
We have a unique part in film history: The first public showing of a motion picture took place in 1894 at a jewelry store in downtown Richmond.
As recently as the 1990s, we were probably the smallest city in the world to have its own symphony, opera and civic theater.
There’s simply no question, though, that our town of about 37,000 has an artistic legacy that should be is the envy of those big and small around the world. The Richmond Art Museum is believed to be the only one that’s attached to an active high school. Richmond started an orchestra 1899, the first in the country for a high school.
We have many important museums with unique offerings: Mummies can be found at the Wayne County Historical Museum and at Earlham College’s Joseph Moore Museum. There’s only one other in Indiana.
The pottery and other popular works of the four Overbeck Sisters can be viewed in the county museum and Cambridge City Library. | 2019-04-18T19:11:08 | https://bereid.com/creative/ |
AceShowbiz - Lily Tomlin has joked she may not be around by the time a sequel to her movie "9 to 5" is made.
The 79-year-old actress – alongside co-star and fellow Hollywood icon Jane Fonda – opened up about the film during the "Grace and Frankie" panel at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, and she had "hope" for the long-rumoured project.
"(We're) waiting for the script," Fonda shared, while Tomlin quipped: "Everybody is very hopeful. We may not live to see it."
The pair also revealed that they are still hard at work trying to get their "9 to 5" co-star Dolly Parton to guest star on their hit Netflix series.
The comedy, about three female secretaries who decide to get revenge on their tyrannical, sexist boss by abducting him and running the business themselves, was released in 1980.
A sequel has been discussed for years, but the trio's busy schedules have hampered negotiations, and last year (2018), Parton said that she, Tomlin and Fonda had all signed on for the "9 to 5" follow-up during an interview with ABC News' "Nightline".
"All these years we've talked about doing a sequel to '9 to 5', but it never made any real sense," she shared. "Until just recently (with) all the equal work for equal pay and all the harassment in the workplace (backlash) – we decided that we are going to try to do another one."
And Parton revealed that if the script was right, they wouldn't hesitate to go ahead with the sequel.
"We're trying to get the script and all that. Everybody is very interested, and we've all agreed that we'd love to do it, if it's right," she explained. | 2019-04-24T08:20:08 | https://aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00134007.html |

This week’s photo comes from the pier at Saltburn. The seaside is something I like to capture in my work where possible. On this occasion the wedding was taking place at the Spa Hotel in Saltburn so it provided us with the perfect opportunity to explore the sea front.
Please have a look at more of my photographs here.
As I've mentioned before, sometimes I don't have long to get the photos I need on the day. It is often a case of a small window of time to get as many shots as you can.
On this occasion we found ourselves on Saltburn Pier on a cold November day.
I work at the Spa Hotel in Saltburn a couple of times a year but up until now I have not had a couple that have requested to go to the sea front & pier for photographs.
So I was pleased on this occasion when the bride & groom asked me to go down there for photographs.
Are you getting married in Saltburn? or somewhere else? Please contact us today to discuss your wedding photography in more detail.
Here is a slideshow of a wedding I photographed at Rushpool Hall over the summer.
There are over 60 photographs in the slideshow, more than I usually share in a blog post, I thought it would be good to show a more detailed look at a wedding today.
Are you getting married at Rushpool Hall? please contact me today to discuss your wedding photography. | 2019-04-21T16:56:18 | http://www.simoncardwellweddings.com/blog/tag/saltburn |

Dry-packed scallops have a shorter shelf life than wet-packed scallops, so cook them the day you buy them.
There’s a chance you have a pork tenderloin sitting in your refrigerator or freezer that you plan on cooking this week. Instead of going the usual route, make a flavorful stir-fry with it. If you’ve never made bok choy before, it’s time to start. It’s full of healthy benefits like vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, folate, fiber, and antioxidants. | 2019-04-21T20:19:08 | https://www.southernliving.com/dinner/one-bowl-meals |
A sensational welterweight prospect, Dimitriy is a sharp, accurate puncher with good handspeed. After he moved to Brooklyn, Dmitriy was exposed to orthodox Judaism and became an observant Jew. He strictly follows Jewish law – if he has a fight on a Saturday, it must begin after sundown, the end of the sabbath. Dmitriy said, “Anyone who wants a good whuppin’ from me is just going to have to wait until sundown.” There are as many as 70 Jewish holy days on which he will not fight, and he follows Jewish dietary laws. When he’s training, he stays within walking distance of a synagogue for Friday and Saturday services – he’s not allowed to drive on the sabbath.
He started boxing at the age of 13 at the Starrett City Boxing Club, which is run by Jimmy O’Pharrow; Jimmy said, “My gym’s like a league of nations. I seen every kind of kid come through the doors, but I ain’t never seen one like this Dmitriy. Kid looks Russian, prays Jewish and fights black.”…Dmitriy said, “Jimmy runs an old school gym, a ghetto gym. My style isn’t European. It isn’t even American. It’s a city style. It’s black. I don’t know how else to say it. But some of us white boys got it like that.”…the radio at Starrett was always tuned to HOT 97; Dmitriy described it as “Blasting. A lot of Biggie. A lot of Tupac. I think that changed my style. That’s what gave me some rhythm.” …Dmitriy had a reported amateur record of 59-5. | 2019-04-25T15:55:07 | https://libertypublishinghouse.com/multimedia/dmitriy-salita-part-1/ |
Imagine an organisation made up of people that adapt well in dynamic and changeable environments, where employees cope with challenges effectively and use obstacles as a catalyst to learn and get better at what they do. Imagine a business that thrives on a high performing culture, where employees want to continuously improve their performance to achieve more. Imagine a company that supports and encourages it’s leaders to flourish in challenging and pressurised environments, and to create the leaders of the future within their teams. Corporate resilience.
Welcome to a resilient organisation.
Building corporate resilience has been described as the missing link in creating success in an organisation. Helping people within a business to hone their resilience mindset will improve employee health and wellbeing, engagement, productivity and performance.
Resilient leaders are exceptional leaders. They have the ability to lead expertly their teams in times of change and in pressurised environments, creating tangible results for the business. Leading can be challenging at times, and mastering a resilient mindset helps leaders deal with the unique pressures they face by adopting a confident and flexible approach.
A resilient team are much more likely to reach their potential.
Enhancing psychological resilience will enable sales and business development teams to effectively deal with challenges and knock-backs, and use these experiences as a catalyst to enhance future performance. Customer service professionals will have the psychological flexibility required to shift their perspective and provide exceptional customer service in challenging situations. Teams will work more cohesively, focusing on solving problems and continually improving their personal and collective performance.
If you want to create business success, can you afford not to build a resilient workforce?
At Kona Coaching we focus on creating tangible and measurable outcomes for the individual and business. In whichever way we partner with organisations, we focus on three factors: strong, sustainable success.
WHEN DO WE NEED TO DRAW ON OUR RESILIENCE RESERVES?
Pressure can be the catalyst for performing at our peak, boosting performance and achieving goals and targets. At times however, the balance can tip more towards creating psychological stress rather than healthy pressure, and it’s at this point our performance at work, our health and wellbeing and our relationships will be affected.
The key is to firstly understand your personal pressures, the challenges you face and the obstacles you come across, both within your professional and your personal life, before moving on to tackling the challenge of enhancing your personal resilience levels. Mastering how you mentally process these situations, and changing your perspective to serve you better will encourage you to use these experiences as a catalyst to thrive and drive forward.
Some of us thrive in a changeable environment, and for others we dread change and find an unstable environment exhausting. In today’s employment market, we’d be hard pressed to find an organisation or industry that isn’t changing in some way. Now more than ever, it’s important for us to equip ourselves and our teams with the skills and tools to navigate our way successfully through times of change.
Increasing your resilience levels in times of change enables you to flex your adaptability skills and switch your perspective to achieve the best from each situation you find yourself in. Finding the confidence to deal with challenges, and the acceptance to effectively cope with obstacles will help you to succeed in reaching your goals at work, no matter what kind of change is going on around you.
As a leader in an organisation or a team, at times the pressure can be intense. Often when we step into a leadership role we focus on honing the practical skills it takes to be a successful leader, but we neglect to grow our leadership mindset. For those that lead teams and individuals, you’ll understand the balancing act between being responsible for creating and executing a strategy, and supporting and guiding others to achieve team and individual goals.
A resilient leader is likely to deal with challenges effectively, have the ability to energise and motivate their team and the foresight to make strategic decisions that will enhance their business. Leaders are faced with unique challenges, sometimes difficult decisions and potentially stressful situations, that if approached with a resilient mindset and dealt with effectively, can optimise their own success and enhance their team’s performance. Resilient leaders are in a key position to make an impact in their role, drive their business forward successfully and develop a resilient and high-performing team.
Whether you’re an experienced or new leader, developing your leadership mindset is crucial in creating your leadership stamina. Leadership in itself is a skill, and exceptional leadership is supported by all six of the Resilience Edge™ facets: confidence, adaptability, positivity, perspective, mastery and stamina.
What’s the one key characteristic that sets successful sales professionals aside from the competition? Resilience. Or more accurately a Resilience Edge™.
The world of sales can be exciting, energised and rewarding, and at times challenging and stressful. In a world of targets, goals, celebrated success and competitiveness, it can be hard to stay on-track when things aren’t going to plan, or when you feel you’ve been knocked off-course.
Resilient sales teams not only perform better and meet or exceed their sales targets, they also respond positively to challenges and keep moving forward despite being faced with difficult situations and challenges day to day. The sales environment isn’t changing – there will always be unique challenges to deal with. What you can change is how you respond to these situations, and a resilient mindset enables sales teams to flourish in the face of adverse circumstances.
Research tells us that a more resilient sales team is a more productive team. In a pressurised, results-driven employment market, a resilient mindset is your missing link in creating long-term success in a sales role. Crucially, your resilience is the difference between mediocrity and success.
A resilient team are a cohesive unit that work well together, achieve targets and collectively perform to a high standard. Not only is a resilient team a high-performing team, but a resilient mindset also improves overall wellbeing and creativity, and reduces stress and anxiety.
Resilient teams are made up of people with an adaptable and flexible mindset, those who are able to respond to challenges effectively and turn difficult situations into opportunities to thrive. Not only are resilient teams more likely to succeed and perform better, they’re more likely to be healthy physically and mentally. Their immunity levels will be higher, which means less absenteeism due to illness (including stress), higher motivation and increased satisfaction with their working life.
The secrets to boosting your personal resilience lie with focusing on creating a strong, flexible mindset, and building sustainable resilience for the long-term. Not only will boosting your personal resilience encourage you to thrive at work, the skills you learn will positively impact other areas of your life too.
HOW CAN YOU BOOST RESILIENCE AT WORK?
Our training and coaching programmes are designed to make a big impact and create tangible, measurable and sustainable results for the business and the individual. We’ll work with you to define your organisational and individual outcome requirements, and we’ll design a bespoke corporate resilience programme for your organisation.
Our consultants will define how we will measure the impact of our programmes right at the start of the design process – so you’ll be clear on the results you’ll see and the impact that will be made in the business.
No matter what positive outcomes you want to create from enhancing corporate resilience, our team of psychologists will design the right programme for your organisation. It may be a long-term training or coaching programme, or a one-off awareness course – either way it will be the right fit for your business.
We deliver our programmes in various ways. You may prefer traditional face-to-face learning experiences, one-to-one coaching, online bite-sized modules or a blended learning approach. Either way, we’ve got it covered, and we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to helping individuals learn and develop to create real results.
Working with new and experienced leaders to take their success from a practical leadership level to an enhanced transformational leadership standard, focusing on creating a leadership mindset, and leadership mastery and stamina. Not only are leaders responsible for their own success, but the success of the organisation they’re part of. Enhancing resilience will encourage leaders to drive forward, deal with pressures and create resilient and thriving teams. This population can benefit from group training, one-to-one coaching and team workshops.
Sales and business development professionals consistently rely on their personal resilience resources day after day. If resilience reserves start to run low, or if they find themselves in particularly challenging situations, the ability to hone their resilience mindset will be the difference between success and reaching breaking point. We work with sales professionals in a group training environment and on a one-to-one basis.
In the changeable, pressurised and constantly developing employment market we’re in today, a focus on team and individual resilience and wellbeing is crucial in building a strong, healthy and happy workforce. Enhancing resilience can increase employee satisfaction and engagement, reduce sickness absence and turnover, boost personal wellbeing, reduce stress and enhance performance. We work with individuals to enhance their personal resilience levels in a group and one-to-one capacity.
Sometimes you have the spark of an idea, or you know what you want to achieve, but you need expert support to reach corporate goals. Our resilience psychologists will work with you to create and embed a resilient culture in your organisation, focusing on tangible outcomes for the business and individual.

Sponsored by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) of 2019 would reauthorize the program at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through 2024 to assist firms with rebuilding or retrofitting diesel engines. The objective is for those updated engines to be able to comply with pollution standards.
The Environment and Public Works panel advanced the measure to the floor of the Senate by voice vote. Carper, the panel’s ranking Democrat, had initially authored the bill more than a decade ago with former Ohio Sen. George Voinovich (R).
“With today’s vote, we’re one step closer to making sure this bipartisan tradition, imagined and incepted by my dear friend Sen. Voinovich, will continue to boost economic growth and encourage environmental progress,” Carper added. Voinovich died in 2016.
Co-sponsors of the bill include committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), as well as Republican Sens. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, along with Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
Senate floor managers have yet to schedule a floor vote for the bill. In March, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers unveiled their version.
“This is a critical piece of legislation that helps address the climate crisis and makes our diesel cars and trucks more fuel efficient,” said Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, sponsoring the House version.
EPA is tasked with distributing DERA grants. It announced that it anticipates awarding about $40 million in competitive grants for its clean diesel funding assistance program. The agency cautions that older diesel engines emit higher amounts of pollution. | 2019-04-21T05:04:48 | https://www.ttnews.com/articles/senate-panel-advances-diesel-emissions-legislation |
the 1st finished research of early Celtic cursing, this paintings analyses either medieval and old expressions of Celtic imprecation: from the binding pills of old Britain and Gaul to the saintly maledictions of the early medieval interval, and different strains of Celtic stipulation and binding basically speculated on in previous scholarship.

There’s nothing as unsightly on your face as a large blackhead – with the exception of a large whitehead. Both these blemishes result from clogged pores, but the blackhead occurs because the oil and dead skin cells are exposed to the air, forming the dark plug. A whitehead – the classic “zit” – is not open to the air, and the gunk is beneath the skin. While you’re tempted to pop either type to get rid of them, resist the temptation. That can cause infection and scarring. As with most issues in life, prevention is easier than the cure. Remember the first rule of skincare: Never go to bed with your makeup on.
While it’s impossible to prevent every blackhead from forming, you can keep them to a minimum with due diligence. The first step is washing your face every morning and before you go to bed. If your skin is oily – which is likely the case if blackheads are a problem – use a cleanser containing salicylic acid. These products help clean pores and prevent breakouts. After washing, use a toner to ensure you get rid of every trace of grime or makeup.
Regular exfoliating removes dead skin cells. Use a gentle rather than harsh formulation. The latter might irritate your skin, causing more blackheads and whiteheads to form. A good scrubbing with a washcloth in the shower is another effective exfoliant.
Before putting on makeup or going to bed, apply a product containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to absorb excess skin oil. While skincare items containing these ingredients are available over the counter, if you have a serious case of acne, visit a dermatologist to receive topical prescription medication.
You’ve probably seen the words “non-comedogenic” on moisturizers, sunscreens and face makeup. Those words simply mean the products won’t clog pores. If you’re prone to breakouts, only use non-comedogenic products on your skin. Even better – use items also labeled “hypoallergenic” in case your skin is especially sensitive.
Your hands and fingers contain oils and bacteria that can cause blackheads and other skin eruptions. Train yourself to avoid touching your face.
Lay off the junk food and eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Start drinking eight glasses of water daily, and it’s a good bet you’ll see a great improvement in your complexion within a couple of weeks. If you follow these tips and are still plagued by blackheads, pay a visit to your dermatologist. | 2019-04-23T18:08:38 | http://www.healthyskinportal.com/articles/banishing-preventing-blackheads/913/ |

Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton have long been the live music hot spots in North Texas. And that makes sense, considering their locations across the region and notoriety among national touring acts. But in recent years, the dynamic has changed as more concert venues have opened in the suburbs. Since 2002, production company AEG Live has been luring fans to Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, and the Allen Event Center has made a commendable, if modest showing with concerts from Khalid and Meghan Trainor. Perhaps the most noteworthy is Live Nation’s Toyota Music Factory, the new amphitheater in Irving that has hosted dozens of high-profile shows including ZZ Top, Dave Chappelle and the Roots.

We return to the E3M away day with two interviews from June O'Sullivan, from the London Early Years Foundation, and Danny Dickson, from Charity Bank.
We have already covered the E3M event that Kibble hosted at The Experience, our themed entertainment and events venue. In that interview we had a chat with Keith Ward about his thoughts on social enterprise, social impact and social investment.
During that event we also sat down and had a couple of short conversations with June O’Sullivan from London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) and Danny Dickson from Charity Bank.
LEYF is one of the biggest childcare charities and social enterprises in Britain. For over 112 years they have been a catalyst for long-term social change by supporting the next generation of people that will shape our world to come. They are a family of 38 community-based nurseries across London and they support 48% of their parents with a free nursery place, allowing children from less affluent families access to early years education, which in turn allows their parents to work. This is just one of many examples of their social impact and the results certainly speak for themselves.
June has been involved with LEYF for about ten years and has been instrumental in driving major strategic and cultural change in the company, change which has led to increased profitability and profile within the last decade. She is an MBE, awarded for services to London’s children, and advises the government in their implementation of their vision for early years learning and support.
Charity Bank needs little in the way of introduction. They are a bank whose mission is to support charities with finance that they are unable to find elsewhere, whilst demonstrating how people’s savings can be invested ethically, in positive ways. People can save with Charity Bank knowing that their money is doing good and is helping others in ethical ways. In an era where big banks are often met with suspicion, Charity Bank is out there showing how banks can, and should, work for good.
Danny Dickson is the director for Charity Bank in Scotland and has only recently come into post. He has worked in banking for almost 40 years, and was a corporate relationship manager for Co-operative Bank in Glasgow, manging the portfolios of charities, credit unions, social enterprises, co-operatives and social landlords among others.
Both Danny and June have vast amounts of experience in social enterprise, and I think you get a sense of that in these very brief, but interesting, chats. | 2019-04-21T22:24:17 | https://www.kibble.org/kpn/podcasts/social-enterprise/sec26-june-osullivan-from-london-early-years-foundation-and-danny-dickson-from-charity-bank |
My name is Michael Forbes and I have been living near and working with the ocean for 20 years. I arrived in Sal as the captain of a sailboat and sailed between the islands of Sal and Boa Vista regularly. I was lucky enough to experience the deep ocean and soon found hidden treasure.
I moved on and started working with whales and dolphins here on the island of Sal on various boats. Very rewarding work in an environment which still does not suffer from commercial whale and dolphin watching. I was becoming more a part of the ocean than the land and I was becoming more aware of the damage caused to the ocean by human impact.
I started to stand up paddle only a year ago. It appealed to me for so many reasons. I leave no pollution behind. I was tired of the noise and needed to spend the time alone with the ocean. I was happy I had found my own “vessel”. Standing up gives you a far clearer vision of not only your surroundings but also the ability to see into the water.
I snorkel with my stand up, I fish off my stand up, I windsurf off my stand up, but most importantly it gives me the freedom to be me and go and explore this beautiful ocean.
This is the story of my circumnavigation around Sal on a stand up paddle to raise money for Castelos do Sal which is a charitable organisation created by volunteers which aims to promote the rights of vulnerable children, help meet their basic needs and contribute to their overall development.
Castelos do Sal collaborates with state-owned projects in order to complement the work being done and stimulates various development programmes in education, health and nutrition. The association particularly targets the area of Santa Maria, the principal tourist town of the island of Sal as the main point of intervention.
Forecast: Southerly wind with a chance of showers.
Route for the day: Angulo Centre to Mt Leon.
I started the day nice and early with a clear head, I had still not made the decision to leave. I picked up my board and gear and walked down the beach and to my surprise saw a friend of mine, Adrian. If he could make it to the beach at 6.30am, I could paddle around the island! Slowly but surely more figures appeared and I knew it was time.
At 7am I was off. Head down knowing full well the weatherman was telling stories again, I tried to fall into a rhythm.
Ponta Sino was the first test and did not fail to impress. I was 20 minutes from home and Ponta Sino was nasty, current and swell as well as a 10 knot northerly all straight into my face. I took around an hour to get around the corner and already she was playing games with my head.
I stopped off at Ponta Preta and had some breakfast where the folks from C-Riders met up with me to wish me luck. I was recharged and ready. The paddle from Ponta Preta passed all the new hotels and was beautiful. Clean water and very interesting reef structures made for entertaining paddling with lots of fish and even the odd wave to be had.
I was meeting my good friend Marie at Caletha Funda for lunch and was feeling good and getting ready for the next few days. My plans had changed as I knew the southerly wind was not going to happen. Marie was great, I heard what was to become a famous line of hers,” Don’t you think you should just push on as far as possible?” I did.
It was the first leg where I knew I was going offshore. The bay of Murdeira is fairly wide and I decided to paddle straight across about 1 mile to 1.5 miles offshore. It was a hard but good paddle. Mt Leon was my next stop and my night rest point.
I was surprised not to see Marie on her quad when I arrived. I waited around for a while and then the thought occurred that perhaps she had broken down. I called her and heard a relieved voice on the other side. She then told me the funniest story about how she could no longer see me so she had gathered all the fishermen to count buoys and try to spot me. First day and she wanted to call the coast guard. Yeah right!
Mt Leon is a very special place on this planet and an amazing dinner and great night’s sleep was had at the foot of the mountain.
Forecast: North north east 10-12 knots.
Route: Mt Leon up to Burracona.
The shortest day’s paddle. Welcome to the north of the island.
The paddle past the cliffs at Mt Leon is one of the most special experiences anyone on Sal can have. The size, the splendour and the shadows mixed with crystal clear water with abundant fish and bird life is very peaceful. I made a decision to cut through the island, which was very interesting with currents and waves breaking in both directions.
I stopped off at Alibaba for a short water break and paddled around the corner to Palmeira where I hooked up with Marie again who was off to buy supplies. We parted ways and planned to meet up at Buracona.
As soon as I paddled past Palmeira I started to notice the changes.
One bay had plenty of Ridleys turtles and 100m further something large circled around me, a tiger shark I think. I did not pay much attention and neither did it; we both had things to do. The landscape started to change and the coastline became pretty jagged. I was watching out for a keyhole (a place to enter and exit the water), but could not see anything that wouldn’t send you or your board to the clinic. I will never forget paddling around a point only to find 3 seagulls sitting on a rock staring at me wondering what the crazy South African guy was doing!
For some reason I stopped and that was when I noticed the lines of swell heading my way. I paddled up to Buracona but there was no way of exiting the water so I had to make a decision. I had no choice, I knew there was no way out for 20 kilometres ahead of me, I turned around. In my head I knew I had to do something special. This was it; this was what the north was about.
I held up next to a cliff and watched the surge swell rise and fall. One second I was level with the cliff the next second I was admiring the shellfish living on the walls. I looked up and I was level with the land, I made a decision and I jumped. I threw my paddle on to the rocks and grabbed my leash. My board was hanging 25ft over the cliff. With every swell I managed to get it closer and on the third swell my board was back in my arms. I managed to walk up the rocks and about 300 metres to Buracona (what a relief) and Luciano and his great team of workers who made us feel really welcome – a big thank you goes out to them. I can’t wait to sit in the new restaurant in winter and admire the power of the swell!
The wind was getting fresher and the swell was building.
Woke up to the sound of crashing waves and a fresh breeze. There was no way it was going to happen.
My good friend Dag from Norway came to join me as he was walking the north while I paddled around. We chatted to Luciano and a couple of the staff and their advice was that I actually go look at what I am going to try paddle.
Dag and I walked up the slope of Monte Leste to try and get a bigger picture. I wish we hadn’t, the big picture was nasty. The wind was doing at least 25 – 30 knots and we could make out current lines all over the place. With the heat up north a lot of thermal wind is created and it certainly has a micro climate of its own. It was hot, really hot and the conditions were starting to play mind games with me. It was time to chill, rest up and eat more than I have eaten in months.
Great night’s sleep with awesome stars.
We awoke to exactly the same conditions and made the decision to sit for another day.
Emma, Karen and Duncan (local friends) came up with breakfast which was fantastic. Thanks guys. That evening we had a wonderful gathering and everyone hit the road. Cheryl, Laura, Marie and Linda (the girls and my support team) came up and we had a wonderful BBQ. A few beers later and it was time for everyone to get back to Santa Maria.
Woke really early and went and had a good look at the conditions. It was on. I could not launch at Buracona due to some serious swell so I went back around the corner and jumped off the cliff. We had all planned to meet up on the northern tip Fiura.
Dag was walking with his dog and Laura was meeting Marie and driving around. I was a little nervous about the weather and was just hoping the wind would stay down for a few hours. I was so happy just to be back on the water, I had not paddled for 2 full days.
The landscape from the ocean is stunning. The whole North West coast is surrounded by reef which makes for some pretty awesome waves. It is an amazing feeling paddling on top of the reef which in some cases is less than a metre deep. The water drops off the reef to some incredible depths and I found myself staring into the blue watching shoals of fish feeding and being eaten.
The ocean over time teaches many lessons and awareness is one of the most important. You have to be aware of your position on the reef up north, it is really important. The ocean does not form waves but is rather just a huge mass of unbroken water that moves with great speed over the reef. At one stage I stopped for a water break and found myself being swept over the reef before the water bottle had even touched my lips. The wind was up and doing about 12 knots but the current was the true test.
I made my way around what I thought was the northern tip only to find another point. I was getting confused as what I had seen from land I could now not place from the ocean. I was looking for the lighthouse but could not see it. I carried on…and on… and on. I knew I must have overshot the meeting point but there was no way I was turning back.
At the next bay I decided to paddle to shore to try and figure out where I was. I eventually realised I was staring at Monte Grande 406 metres above sea level and I was on the wrong side of the mountain. I remembered doing a calculation before the trip and figured I had about 7km to go before I reached Pedra Lume so I re-launched and had a fantastic paddle past some pretty jagged reef and cliffs. Families were out fishing and I could see their reactions to seeing a paddle board going by!
It was done, I had made the north but I knew that Dag was walking and with me overshooting the meeting point I started to worry about him. I pulled my board further up the beach and looked up the road to see Laura, Marie and Dag on the way down. Everyone was good and all in one piece. Needless to say, we had a couple of beers and a fantastic chicken BBQ.
Set off fairly early knowing I had 25 km to do. Had been told that there were a lot of sharks off the wreck but did not come across any. I paddled further down admiring the beautiful little bays and coves along the way. I stopped at one of my favourites and had a good swim.
I carried on down towards Sera Negra. The sharks were all sitting just north, I could not tell how many there were but when I looked out in front of me they were all swimming on the surface almost leading the way. I rounded the corner and saw Santa Maria.
I had been away for 6 days and the realisation that this was soon going to be over hit home. I paddled past the turtle camp and decided to hit land to relax. It was still early and I was only 8km from the end. I decided to press on and rest up at Grijinha before the final leg.
At 4 that afternoon I put the board in the water for the last time. I sat off the point for a while and gave my own personal thanks to the ocean. As I rounded Ponta Leme I noticed a 4×4 speed up and a man with a very large camera get out and start filming. I then started hearing drums. I am an African, born and bred and the sound of the drums gave me instant goose bumps.
As I came within 200 metres of the beach I started to notice the people waiting for my arrival. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect what was about to come my way. Children, beautiful children from the charity rushed up to greet me, friends were shaking my hand and all around me people were smiling. I was pulled away from the crowd and before I knew it we were doing a live radio broadcast and then a TV crew did their thing.
It was an unbelievable vibe and the support from the community was fantastic, you can all be very proud of yourselves. I will never forget that afternoon as long as I live. We had done what we set out to do but what we had achieved in the way of bringing everyone together was also incredible.
I would like to thank each and every person for sponsoring me; the money that was raised will go to such an important project.
Cheryl, Linda, Peter, Laura, Dag and especially Marie have to be mentioned. Without these people this trip would not have happened, well maybe it would have, but one thing is for sure, I would not have gained weight along the way! It is amazing knowing that we are all part of a community that cares.
I would also like to thank Maria for giving me a SUP board for my 40th birthday; little did she know the monster she was creating! Also thank you to Josh Angulo for his support, as well as Ed Angulo for designing a great board. Thank you to a great friend of mine, a lion from Zimbabwe, Muche for all the hard paddle time, next time he will be by my side.
To everyone involved thank you and well done.
Now any ideas for what next? If anyone is interested I would love to paddle around all the Islands in Cape Verde!

Sensuality, originality and spirit, this is what Mariana Ramos brings to an already impressive pantheon of Cape Verdean singers. Over the years, she has reinvented herself and kept her fans more enthusiastic than ever.
Mariana is eclectic too, easily gliding from one rhythm to the next. Her soulful voice effortlessly adapts from a robust “cola sanjõn” from the island of São Vicente, to a suave “coladeira”, and even an invigorating “funana” the most upbeat form of Cape Verdean music and a genre exclusive to the island of Santiago. This adaptability is a direct result of her upbringing, an upbringing which took her way beyond the archipelago.
Born in Dakar, in neighbouring Senegal, Mariana’s first encounters with music were with her father’s, the famous Cape Verdean musician Toy Ramos, aka Tony de Bibia, and with the varied Senegalese music she grew up with. Today, one can still hear the poignant Senegalese drums in some of her compositions.
A few years later, she travelled to Cape Verde to live with “Bibia”, her beloved grandmother. The years spent in the popular district of “Monte Sossego”, on the island of São Vicente, had a profound impact on young Mariana, as this was where she got her first taste of Cape Verde’s impressive folklore and wide musical range. But it was in Europe, especially in Paris, where she later travelled to join her parents that Mariana performed for the first time. As soon as she was old enough, she joined a rock band, then a pop group before singing in a jazz quintet.
She is an avid learner of new sounds and styles and learnt with ease the repertoires of the greatest, from Edith Piaf to Rickie Lee Jones. Her early love affair with jazz has left a deep and soulful imprint on her singing style.
“Di Dor Em Or” or “From Pain To Gold” marked the debut of her recording career in 2000. The album, released under the distinguished label “Morabeza Records” comprises ten tracks and was an instant hit. Of “Di Dor Em Or” Mariana says that she was very proud to be singing on such a prestigious label, which was started in the 1960s by her uncle and owned at the time by her brother. Indeed, many great names of African music have found worldwide recognition under “Morabeza Records” such as Bana, Bonga and Voz de Cabo Verde.
It was also during this time, that Mariana decided to explore her musical heritage and affirm her love for her country and its music. Acclaimed composers Téofilo Chantre and Nazalio Fortes became her collaborators as she eagerly embarked on this journey of self-discovery.
Europe and Africa opened their arms to the Cape Verdean diva’s debut and soon a successful tour followed. Thanks to her charm and stage presence she quickly caught the eye of the famous French stage director, Richard Demarcy, who offered her a singing and acting role in “Oyé Lunan”, an Afro-Latino play which had tremendous success with over 600 shows throughout the world.
“Bibia”, her second album released in 2004, is a tribute to her grandmothers who both carry this nickname and by the same token to her father, Tony de Bibia, with whom she had the opportunity to collaborate for the first time. The famous guitarist wrote four of the songs on the album which was more intimate and traditional than its predecessor.
Her journey towards her origins led Mariana to her third album “Mornador”, which came out in 2008 and, according to the artist “best represents her universe”. Indeed, it was a labour of love and reflection. Six of the fifteen tracks were written by her, which proved that she was not only a voice to be reckoned with amongst other Cape Verdean singers but also an excellent song writer. “Mornador” was also the opportunity for Mariana to express herself in the many languages she speaks, demonstrating her multiculturalism and capacity to relate to different cultures and people. A bold move which was acclaimed by the media and finally granted Mariana worldwide recognition.
It was Mariana’s love of dancing which was the inspiration for her latest album, “Suavidança” released in February 2011, a more upbeat style of music, which comprises subtle arrangements and more intricate compositions.
Her passion for her country and Africa in general is obvious with the song “Nzinga Mbandi”, dedicated to the Angolan queen – which she sings with Benin superstar Angelique Kidjo. When those two powerful African voices meet on this catchy track, magic happens and one feels oneself travelling back to the times of this Angolan heroine.
Over the years, Mariana Ramos has successfully established herself as one of the most interesting Cape Verdean artists. Her music represents her roots, her travels, her passions. It is refreshing, sassy and captivating, enriched by all the influences that have seduced her and which will undoubtedly seduce many listeners too.
