South Africa is battling to get its children healthy.
This is evident in the 2016 Healthy Active Kids South Africa (Haksa) Report Card – coordinated by the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA), supported by Discovery Vitality.
Dr. Craig Nossel, Head of Vitality Wellness, Discovery's incentive-based wellness programme says we need to invest in the health of our children.
This report is important to track progression if any, he says. While some policies have improved, physical participation of sports amongst kids is still lacking.
The food consumption is also moving in the wrong direction.
Nossel adds that it is the responsibility of adults, who are the decision makers to ensure children are not fed and bought junk food.
Children should at least be spending an hour a day of physical activities, he advises, as kids spend too much time on their technology devices and television.
Government policies and interventions are needed.
Nossel says parents should not allow televisions to babysit their children.
Involve children in basic household activities and chores to promote physical activity, like gardening for instance.
A collaborative effort between parents, health professionals, businesses, government, and schools is needed to improve the health of South Africa's future leaders, he concludes.
Health sociologist and researcher at Wits, Aviva Tugendhaft debates the public health benefit of imposing a sugar tax in SA.
Fat prejudice is a real thing in society and obese people are often seen as lazy, lacking willpower and incompetent. Do you agree?
A child's exposure to food from a young age has a heavy impact on their health and dietary choices as adults, says Abby Courtenay.
Concerns have been raised regarding mass job shedding with the sugar tax coming into effect in April 2017.
A recent ECHO report draws attention to the rise of childhood obesity and the serious threat it poses to the health of children.
Take a bus or taxi and be healthier!
We look at the stigma around obesity and its associated conditions, and ways of managing it as a chronic condition.
Fat Shaming: Do you judge overweight people?
Sam Cowen spoke about perceptions on overweight people - on the back of the Corrie Le Grange story.
TV viewing, even for just an hour a day, may increase the risk of children becoming overweight or obese, according to new research.


It's been a short wax week for me since I have family in town. I'm out and about more, so I don't melt as much. I do think I had a pretty successful wax week though!
My Thoughts: The peppermint is the strongest note in here, and that's all I could really smell for the first couple hours of melting. I love peppermint though so I don't have any complaints. I'd say around the 5-6 hour mark the peppermint died down and the other notes came out. The eucalyptus, patchouli, and cedar wood added a really nice and subtle masculine note to the entire blend. I liked this one!
My Thoughts: This scent had a lot of my favorite elements in it. I love clean, citrus, and herbal scents and all together this was really nice. It smells like a fancy shampoo you get treated to at the salon. It's crisp, clean, and refreshing.
Scent Description: Crisp evening night skies form a clean, fresh scent with a spice of myrrh.
My Thoughts: This is a nice woodsy, clean, cologne type blend. I liked this one melting at first, but it got old after awhile. I like the clean and cologne notes in here, but there is a woodsy sweetness in there that puts me off after awhile. I don't hate this, but it's not one I like to melt for too long.
My Thoughts: This is probably one of the strongest wax melts I own. This is one I melt after cooking onions. It will knock the onion scent right out! It's a mix to me of a salty ocean air with a strong laundry note. This maybe a bit harsh to some, but I like it. It's a powerful sucker and perfect when you really need to freshen up a room.

A focus on sustainability
Improving the sustainability performance of our businesses is central to our "Buy, Improve, Sell" strategy. We acquire good manufacturing businesses that are underperforming their potential from a financial, operational, and sustainability perspective. We then invest heavily to improve their longer-term financial and operational performance in a sustainable manner, before identifying suitable new owners who will take them to the next stage of their development, generating significant value for our shareholders.
Inherent in the nature of the manufacturing businesses we acquire is that they often operate in the industries that are some of the most difficult to decarbonise. We provide the focus and investment that these businesses need to deliver significant financial returns and sustainability improvements for the benefit of our stakeholders. We work with our businesses to set meaningful sustainability targets, alongside financial metrics, and we provide the investment to achieve them. We set a positive example for our businesses and provide them with a platform to share Group best practices and accelerate the pace of change within their organisations.
By the very nature of our "Buy, Improve, Sell" strategy, our Group sustainability performance and ratings will fluctuate during our investment cycle as we acquire new businesses in need of improvement, and sell businesses that we have improved. Following their improvement under our ownership, we aim to have added value to our businesses for the benefit of our stakeholders
We redirect and refocus our businesses on helping their customers and key stakeholders tackle pressing climate change challenges in pursuit of transitioning to a zero emissions economy by 2050. With our investment and oversight, we drive our businesses to work closely with their customers to develop and deliver innovative product solutions that directly address society's most complex longer-term sustainability challenges.
Our improvement efforts are supported by a foundation of robust governance, risk management and compliance. We implement these foundational principles within every business that we acquire, to ensure they act with the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and transparency in all areas, and we require our businesses to demand the same of their supply chain. We also spend time listening to our key stakeholders so we can make more informed strategic decisions and deliver on their needs.
We and our businesses prioritise and nurture the wellbeing and skills development of employees and the communities that they are part of. We prioritise our role as a responsible corporate citizen by driving innovation and implementing measures to reduce the future negative impact of our businesses' operations on society and the planet, to meet the global goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
Progress in 2020
In 2020 we delivered significant progress against our four overarching sustainability principles. Despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020 our businesses continued to excel in cultivating the technical and innovation capabilities required to provide effective solutions to the emerging sustainability challenges that we and our businesses' customers face. We are already taking active steps to anticipate how climate change will affect our businesses, and our businesses are investing in sustainable product development that will help their customers achieve their sustainability goals. Highlights in 2020 include the launch of a ground-breaking hydrogen propulsion project led by GKN Aerospace, which aims to deliver zero CO2 emissions hydrogen-powered aircraft in the skies as early as 2026; and GKN Automotive's continued market leadership in developing highly efficient All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and eDrive systems that enable customers to improve fuel efficiency and reduce their carbon emissions. Across the Group, we took further steps to implement a more comprehensive sustainability framework to support the execution of our "Buy, Improve, Sell" strategy. We refined our Group sustainability objectives and strengthened our controls across the Group to enhance the implementation of our four overarching sustainability principles within each of our businesses. This included the development of a formal sustainability framework, which covered:
Completion of a materiality assessment;
Alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs);
Establishment of a Group internal sustainability reporting and performance function to support our businesses;
Implementation of a refreshed Melrose Code of Ethics, applicable to all of our businesses;
Refreshing our Group compliance policies to reflect the legal, policy and regulatory frameworks within which our businesses operate, and the introduction of additional policies where required, to continually strengthen our businesses' compliance protocols, which this year included the introduction of a Groupwide Conflict Minerals Policy.
Actions for 2021
In executing our "Buy, Improve, Sell" strategy and effecting continuous, long-term improvement within our businesses, we recognise that our work is far from complete. We are committed to continuing to improve the contribution that our businesses make to sustainable development, and to develop our sustainability framework further. Our plans for 2021 include:
Developing a multi-year sustainability action plan to embed sustainable performance targets within the Group which reflect our 'Buy, Improve and Sell' strategy and our three to five year investment cycle. We will disclose these performance targets in due course;
Further developing our sustainability management and governance structure, including our internal sustainability reporting capabilities and information capture across our businesses;
Commencing the process of reporting our sustainability performance under SASB standards;
Making our inaugural CDP submission;
Publishing an assessment of how we are mitigating climate change risks in line with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); and
Setting targets in line with the selected UN SDGs that measure the contribution of our businesses to those goals.
Much of this work is already underway and we look forward to continuing to accelerate our progress during 2021.
Sustainable improvement
We have continued to embed our four Melrose sustainability principles within our businesses.
Commitment to playing our part

Sun plans to move to less restrictive Java license
Sun is going to distribute JRE under a less-restrictive license. Is that …
Ryan Paul - May 5, 2006 1:23 pm UTC
with 0 posters participating
Sun Microsystems is apparently planning to distribute the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) under a less restrictive license in order to promote broader distribution. Although Sun executives frequently claim to be committed to open source software, the company still hasn't followed through on its stated intention to open the source code of its Java technologies. The proprietary nature of Java prevents many Linux distributions from including it by default, which in turn has had a detrimental impact on Java adoption. Although Java is widely used, its popularity is in decline as developers turn to various alternatives.
Although no details are available about exactly what kind of modifications Sun is making to the Java license, Sun's Java platform group vice president Laurie Tolson says that the new license terms will make the Java Runtime Environment more conducive to deployment with open source operating systems:
"The intention is to make it easier for distributors and developers to get their hands on the runtime with the operating system."
Although the licensing changes will probably be welcomed by Linux users and distributors, a less restrictive license is a far cry from an open source license. As a result, it is hard to see this move as anything other than yet another affirmation of Sun's incomprehensible unwillingness to fulfill its own promises and live up to the values it claims to cherish. Sun is clearly trying to do whatever it can to increase the relevance of Java without actually having to open the source code. A less restrictive license that allows the JRE to be included by default as part of popular Linux distributions will reduce the barriers associated with running Java applications on the open source operating system. Widespread availability of the JRE will make Linux developers more likely to consider using Java for programming projects.
Sun's decision to make the license less restrictive is probably a response to the rapidly growing popularity of Mono, an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET development platform. A variety of unique and compelling Linux desktop applications built with Mono have helped to popularize the use of .NET technology on Linux. The .NET runtime environment, known as the Common Language Infrastructure, is an official ISO standard, whereas Java is largely controlled by Sun through its own standards body, the Java Community Process. Java popularity is also threatened by the recent hype surrounding dynamic language web application development frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Django. Developers have found that web applications built with Ruby on Rails require less time and resources to develop and, in some cases, provide better performance than comparable web applications built with Java technologies like Spring and Hibernate.
Prominent open source software developers like Red Hat's Chris Blizzard continue to point out that Java's proprietary status is causing Sun to lose a number of critical opportunities. I can't help but wonder if Java will still be relevant by the time that Sun actually gets around to opening up the source code.
Ryan Paul Ryan is an Ars editor emeritus in the field of open source, and and still contributes regularly. He manages developer relations at Montage Studio.

a heart surrendered: CHARACTER QUALITIES from a biblical perspective.
Every year, at our homeschool Promotion Night, each child receives a Student Achievement Award.
The award can be given in the areas of academics, extracurricular activities, sports, or character.
The students (especially the younger ones) LOVE hearing their name and a positive quality about themselves read on stage. It is a simple, yet personal, way to acknowledge their efforts during the school year and they are encouraged to know someone noticed their efforts.
Dennis and I always focus on character, because while academic pursuits are good, character lasts for a lifetime.
This year the leadership sent out a character chart to help prompt ideas for the award, and after reading through the list I thought, "We need to implement this in our home! This is excellent!"
I copied and saved it, and then printed it out to use as a measuring standard - for all of us.
Each month we can look through the list, discuss which qualities we would most like to focus on and improve, and then encourage one another in the pursuit of stronger and more godly character.
"Act like what you do matters - because it DOES!"
And now - he says the same to our own children.
This list is fantastic, and I especially appreciate that the qualities are defined with a biblical perspective.

You've got to hand it to Christchurch...
2:51 pm on 16 June 2016
It's crafty and clever and a bit creepy- Christchurch Art Gallery's newest addition is a giant hand with a grim face that peers down at the city below.
The hand and face are based on the artist Ronnie van Hout's own, but now belong to the gallery's growing collection of outdoor installations.

The internationally renowned artist created the 5m-tall sculpture which was unveiled today on the gallery's rooftop, towering above Gloucester Street and the arts precinct.
He told Afternoons he gave the sculpture its name because "I saw it on top of the building like the quasimodo character from The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

"I don't have any problem with people's opinions" - Ronnie van Hout on Afternoons
Mr van Hoult said a lot of thought had to go into figuring out how to make sure the sculpture could cope with its unusual home on top of a building.
"There was a lot of working out in terms of the structure of it," he said.
In the end the internal structure was made from steel before it was covered in polystyrene and painted resin.
The gallery's Outer Spaces programme naturally expanded after the devastating Canterbury quakes of 2011 forced it to temporarily close. It took its art works out of the gallery, installing pieces throughout the city.
The sculpture is based on the artist's own hand and facial features. Photo: SUPPLIED/ Christchurch Art Gallery
Mr van Hout's Quasi is part of that programme, but sits on top of the gallery, now it has reopened.
Gallery director Jenny Harper said she hoped the sculpture would make people laugh, think and talk.
"Quasi's arrival means the gallery is now completely surrounded by art, facing outward to greet the city from all directions. It signals the energy and activity going on around us, and it's up there for everyone to enjoy."
The Christchurch-born artist uses a variety of media in his work, which has been exhibited and is in galleries throughout the world. He often refers to himself in his work, having once portrayed himself as a monkey that paints and a dog that sculpts.
Quasi will remain on top of the gallery until some time next year.

The Protocol on the Control of Firearms, Ammunition and Other Related Material in the Southern African Development Community Region (SADC Protocol) was adopted on 14 August 2001 and entered into force on 8 November 2004.
The 2001 SADC Protocol is an instrument with a broad scope that seeks to prevent and combat the illicit manufacturing of firearms, ammunition, and other related materials. It also seeks to regulate the legal import and export of small arms, and curb the transit of these weapons across and within the region. In addition, it seeks to harmonize national legislation on the manufacture and ownership of small arms and light weapons.
The proliferation of small arms in southern Africa is a direct consequence of the years of militarization and conflict that have characterized the region — in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and elsewhere. G. Oosthuysen, 'Small Arms Proliferation and Control in Southern Africa', South African Institute of International Affairs, Braamfontein, 1996, p. 38. The availability of vast quantities of arms, in the hands of civilians, former combatants, and the security forces, fuelled both political and criminal violence in a region ill-equipped to deal with the threat. When the Southern African Development Community (SADC) started considering the issue of proliferation of small arms, it found a region marked by 'outdated national legislation, obsolete regulatory measures, precarious peace processes, pervious borders and ... lack of capacity on the part of both governments and civil society to effectively monitor the legal and illegal movement of firearms'. N. Stott, 'Implementing the Southern Africa Firearms Protocol: Identifying Challenges and Priorities', Paper 83, Institute for Security Studies, South Africa, November 2003, p. 1.
In May 1998, at a meeting convened by the Institute for Security Studies and Saferworld, government officials from SADC and the European Union (EU) agreed to draft an Action Programme on Light Arms and Illicit Arms Trafficking. A.M.S. Bah, 'Toward a Regional Approach to Human Security in Southern Africa', Centre for International Relations, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, 2004, p. 15. This document was endorsed by SADC and EU foreign ministers in Vienna in November 1998. In August 1999, the SADC Council of Ministers met in Maputo, Mozambique, where it issued its first statement on the issue of small arms and light weapons. The Council mandated SADC to establish a regional policy on control of small arms and light weapons, and named the Southern Africa Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation (SARPCCO) as implementation agency, with a mandate to coordinate the SADC Policy on Small Arms and Cross Border Crime Prevention. By entrusting the development of the policy to a police body — SARPCCO is an organization independent of SADC — SADC states adopted a pragmatic approach, framing the issue as one of domestic security and crime prevention and control.
The EU also remained engaged, signalling that funding could be made available for the implementation of such a plan. In April 1999, at a meeting in Cape Town, the EU-SADC Cooperation Executive Committee recommended the creation of a technical group on small arms issues. This was set up in September 1999, when EU and SADC officials met again to discuss plans for the implementation of the Regional Action Programme. J. Cilliers, 'Building Security in Southern Africa', Monograph No. 43, Institute for Security Studies, South Africa, November 1999, p. 66.
Within SARPCCO, work proceeded within the legal subcommittee, consisting of legal officers from the national police services of SARPCCO member states. A working group was established to develop the small arms policy, comprised of representatives from Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, as well as the SADC Secretariat. Its first meeting was held in Gaborone, Botswana, in October 1999. The working group agreed to work towards a declaration that would subsequently lead to the negotiation of a legally-binding sub-regional protocol and implementation programme. N. Stott, 'Implementing the Southern Africa Firearms Protocol: Identifying Challenges and Priorities', Paper 83, Institute for Security Studies, South Africa, November 2003, p. 3. The National Police Commissioners endorsed the proposed Protocol in Botswana in February 2000. B. Coetzee, 'Building capacity to implement small arms control', Focus on Arms in Africa, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2005, p. 6. SARPCCO also took the lead in developing broad guidelines for its implementation.
On 9 March 2001, SADC Heads of State or Government signed a 'Declaration concerning Firearms, Ammunition and other related materials' whereby they committed to review their national legislation on a broad range of issue, and undertook to 'develop and adopt a legal instrument in the form of a regional Protocol on the control of firearms and ammunition and other related material.' 2001 Declaration Concerning Firearms, Ammunition and Other Related Materials in the Southern African Development Community This Declaration paved the way for the formal adoption, in August 2001, of the SADC Protocol. Angola was the only SARPCCO member state who did not sign the Protocol, favouring it in principle but citing technical difficulties. A.M.S. Bah, 'Toward a Regional Approach to Human Security in Southern Africa', Centre for International Relations, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, 2004, p. 16.
The SADC Protocol adopts a broad definition of 'firearm', which combines with only slight amendments the 2001 Firearms Protocol definition and the list of small arms and light weapons proposed in 1997 by the Panel of Governmental Experts on Small Arms (Art. 1). Ammunition is explicitly covered. 'Other related materials' refers to parts and components.
States are required to put in place adequate laws to control the manufacturing, possession, and use of firearms, ammunition, and related materials (Art. 5(1) and 5(3)(e).). Laws must provide for marking at time of manufacture (Art. 5(3)(g).). Any firearm, ammunition, and other related materials manufactured without adequate authorization will be seized, confiscated, and forfeited (Art. 5(3)(h)). States parties will also move to ensure legal uniformity in the sphere of sentencing (Art. 5(3)(n)).
The unrestricted possession of small arms by civilians is prohibited (Art. 5(3)(a).); possession and use of light weapons by civilians is totally prohibited (Art. 5(3)(b).).
Restrictions on small arms possession include competency testing of prospective firearm owners (Art. 5(3)(i)), and restrictions on the number of firearms that can be owned by any person (Art. 5(3)(j).). It is prohibited to supply false information to obtain a permit (Art. 5(3)(l).). States are required to keep a centralized register of civilian-owned firearms (Art. 5(3)(d).), as well as of firearm owners and commercial firearms traders (Art. 7.).

« Revealed: Exactly what sort of team wins the EPL!
Changing long serving managers : a case study »
Nine things we just learned about something or other, which I'd explain if only I could work it out.
By Tony Attwood
It's the big thing these days in the press. Six things we learned about the Premier League this weekend. Five things we learned about Chelsea. Eight things we learned about Levy. Etc etc. So never afraid to copy what others have done before, here's the Untold version.
1. Arsene Wenger admits Arsenal need a new striker, despite easing injury crisis.
That was in the Independent newspaper as the headline to an article in which Mr Wenger said exactly the opposite. As an aside at one point he actually said that he would offer the journalist his phone number if the journalist could find anyone that was for sale who was suitable for Arsenal. The journalist did not take him up.
2. Manchester United's current form scuppers USA tour
That was the Telegraph. Apparently the powers that be in Man U think that they might qualify for the Europa League and so be playing in qualifying matches just at the time they planned to be doing exhibition games in the USA.
I'm not so sure about this one. I mean, I don't really know that Man U will get above Tottenham, and its the Tiny Totts who normally play in the Europa.
3. West Ham Untidy want Vermaelen.
I am sure they do. But does our man on the beach actually want West Ham, their owners, their MD and most of all, the old Slug himself?
4. Chelsea v Manchester United: defeat shows this is the end of an empire, not a period of transition at Old Trafford
So the press are slowly getting to the notion that we were running last year that although the MU team could do well, it depended on Rooney and RVP being fit. RVP had, in fact, by the end of last season, done two complete seasons – the only two complete seasons he has ever done. The breakdown had to come sometime.
And without those two and a crumbling midfield, MU ain't much cop.
5. It is five years since Liverpool last qualified for the Champions League and their prolonged absence has shown that the longer you are out the tougher it is to get back in.
Yep it is that. It is hard to recruit top players who are not slightly deranged when you ain't in the Champs League, and when that happens you start dropping points hither and thither.
The problem is that while the more open minded accept that Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City could win the league this season, you have to be a Liverpudlian to accept that anyone else might do it. This is for the simple reason that not only does one team have to do well, everyone builds every year, so you also have to wait for someone else to do badly. Like Man U.
This is the insanity of the "top four finish" claims year on year – they suggest that this or that team will get better, but can't find a way to say who will stand still and allow themselves to be overtaken.
Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United are playing for fourth, and three of them are going to be disappointed and then play for the Europa, and one of them will be disappointed and actually get it.
6. Arsenal want Juventus striker Vucinic on loan
And about four other players. No one can agree, and the story changes day by day. So we might buy another midfielder. But in that case run the story that Wenger has lost it, and ignore the new way in which midfielders are being used as goalscorers with the number 9 as a decoy.
7. Andries Jonker will succeed Liam Brady as head of the Arsenal academy in the summer.
A stunning appointment.
8. Arsène Wenger says this season may just be the best ever for his club.
Goodness if that is true it is going to be one hell of a run in from this point onwards. He says that the team shows patience against the park the bus teams and that is certainly true. And remember he predicted the Unbeaten Season – and oh how they laughed and put out anti-Wenger tee-shirts. I've still got mine.
9. Arsenal learn to cope without Özil in top gear
This is certainly an interesting point, as opinion is divided about Mesut Özil and his form. Either you think he's having a bad game, or else you think he is quiet and is doing the unexpected exactly at the right moments. Mr Wenger said, "I think the consistency of his quality, of the quality of his passing, slowly drains the opponent. He always passes where they don't want him to do it. That slowly helps us to take over."
10. Arsenal has a daunting run of fixtures during February and March.
Remember at the start how we weren't really top of the league because we hadn't played any of the big clubs? Now we have a daunting run of fixtures in Feb and March. If we do win the league then the summer will be full of "Of course the real test will come next season, as Chelsea and Man City gear up to overtake Arsenal". In short, in the press, we'll never ever get there.
11. Sherwood thinks that if the Tiny Totts finish outside the top four, Levy will give him the boot.
And he's probably right.
Sorry. I know I said nine. But I never was good at counting.

Brilliant post! Number 8 made laugh out Loud!!
Re Point 1
about which you say " in which Mr Wenger said exactly the opposite", which is completely wrong. When asked specifically about a striker in the interview Wenger said:
"Ideally if it's possible we'd like another (striker). I give you my phone number, if you find an exceptional (player), you can call me over the weekend. Ideally, though we have not found anyone. We are open to strengthening our squad if it's possible."
Regards 2. , I think the writer was referring to qualification to the Europa League via the League Cup, which then requires 2 qualification rounds.
Also you missed point 12 –
Why Man City will win the Premiership (Daily Torygraph):
Something, something strikers…
Something, something goal difference….
Something, something Arsenal only have Giroud as a striker…
Something, something goal difference (again).
seroti
@Tony I love 4&5. The empire built on sandy ground is been washed away beautiful wit Stamford river nd it will take More than Liverpool 5yrs 2 get a land 2 build a New one I.e if they will really have the money to build Again(hope have not jinx them)
Not sure where to post it, but one expression I absolutely HATE is…
"Wenger [or AN Other manager/club] need to make a big signing as a STATEMENT OF INTENT".
Huh? Why?! What does this actually MEAN…?
Any club should buy players they need at the right price at the right time. What has a "statement of intent" got to do with it? It is like two overpaid financiers in a bidding war for a property they don't need – just to show a "statement of intent".
Utter drivel.
Right. Got that off my chest. Please all carry on!

Re : 1 – I believe the club have identfied a big fish called 'Red' Herring from the Codswallop Leagues in the Mackerel Isles depths as their prime choice .
Known to the locals as 'The Great White ' , apparently a great catch Du Jour ; a hammerhead in the air ; leaps like a salmon ; is cold blooded in front of the nets and well schooled in the art of tackle and release as most submariners from Finlanders are .
Soon the fans will be carping about him on fishbook !
The world will smack their lips and whale about his entree !
With 'baited ' breath the AAAA will fall for it hook ,line and sinker ! Well at least till they have haddock it up to their gills ! Then they'll be truly gutted !
As we speak , he's being kept in cold storage till being presented at the proper thyme and plaice . Well done of course !
Bon appetit !
If you smell something fishy , its probably coming from the pussy !
And do you know what goes well with fish ? Rum !And just to keep up your spirits ….
10 Things You Perhaps Never Knew About: Rum
"There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion." – Lord Byron
Rum, with its rich history and smooth, sweet flavour profile, is a unique and timeless drink. As such, we felt obligated to pay tribute to it, and what better way to do that than to delve into some lesser-known facts about this delicious alcoholic beverage.
So, without further ado, here are 10 things you never knew about rum:
Fact One: Rum is the first branded spirit to have ever been made, seeing as how it's been around longer than most modern alcoholic beverages!
Fact Two: Rum has medicinal properties that were especially useful for armies at war until a few decades ago. The British Army in particular was known to give rations of rum to its sailors as a mixture of rum and wine kept the risk of scurvy (a major threat at the time) at bay. This ration was referred to as 'tot o' rum' and what actually prevented the scurvy was the dash of lime added to the mixture. (the Indian Army still continues this tradition less the wine and the dash of lime!)
Fact Three: In a spectacular display of a love for rum, the infamous Admiral Nelson who died in the Battle of Trafalgar, had his body preserved in a cask of rum before it was finally laid to rest.
Accounts differ as to whether the cask was full or mostly empty at the time, but we do know for sure rum was referred to as 'Nelson's Blood' for a period of time after the incident!
Fact Four: Rum has humble origins. Its precursors date back to ancient India and China and are thought to have spread from here. As far as distillation goes, it was sugar plantation slaves in the Caribbean who discovered that sugarcane molasses could be fermented and then
distilled for a pleasant tasting drink!
Fact Five: Rum has had a long association with piracy. While it began due to English privateers trading it as a valuable commodity, many of these privateers became pirates whose fondness for the sweet drink never vanished. This association was only further strengthened by epic literary works such as Robert L. Stevenson's 'Treasure Island.'
Fact Six: The Caribbean is undoubtedly the epicenter of all rum production in the world. Virtually every island here produces its own distinct rum style. More than 80% of the world's total output comes from here. But almost every other country produces their own rum as
well–including India, whose Old Monk is a well-known brand.
Fact Seven: The most expensive rum in the world lacks a specific name but more than makes up for it in price. Bottled in the 1940s by the Jamaican distillers Wray and Nephew, it contains blends that are believed to date as far back as 1915. The bottle was displayed at Europe's first Rum Festival (RumFest), and there are only four such bottles remaining in the world, which represent the lost tradition of Wray and Nephew.They are valued at a whopping $40,000 a bottle!
Fact Eight: Rum was also at the epicenter of the infamous 'slavery triangle', which operated from the late 16th to the early 19th centuries The first leg involved the shipment of molasses to New England from the Caribbean to produce rum. The second leg was the shipment of rum to West Africa to trade for slaves and the third and final leg of this triangle was the passage of slave ships to the sugar plantations of the Caribbean and South America where these same slaves were put to work in the sugarcane fields.
Fact Nine: Modern rum actually owes a lot to advancements in air conditioning and the growth of tourism. The latter half of the 20th century saw the viability of modern-day air conditioning, which made it possible for large numbers of people to migrate to warm-weather regions where rum remained a dominant spirit. This massive increase in tourists in such regions led to a rise in the popularity of the drink.
Fact Ten: Rum, as everyone knows, is an extremely popular spirit used in cocktails. One of the most popular drinks of this variety is known as the Rum Sour. It was conceived in Barbados and is served in a conch shell!
And on that inebriating note, I bid you adieu with Long John Silver's famous words,
"Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!"
Brickfields G,
Re your 9.33 Fact 3.
Of all titles, NEVER, EVER, refer to England's hero Nelson as "infamous".
@ Nicky – some of us do have 'questions' of said gentleman's last wish . " Kiss me Hardy ." Really ?
Acceptable would have been ,"Kiss me goodbye.' or "Kiss me quick." ( The King sang that !He also sang "Love me tender " , but we'll not go there !))or "Kiss me for good luck or safe journey/ passage ."
Was there tongue involved ? Or crushing of bosoms ?
Gnashing ? Clasping ? Fluttering of eyelashes ?
Or maybe I'm delving into this too deep ,and maybe he was just requesting for CPR and the kiss of life !
I feel better now !
What are your thoughts on the Cambridge five ( or 4 + 1) who were also allegedly infamous ?
Gord
The BBC has a recent blurb about squad sizes. Apparently Crystal Palace has the largest squad in Europe (34 players).

A couple of Academy points:

Here's What Happens To Your 401(k) If You Lose Your Job
Don Taylor,
YouTube / Margin Call trailer
Dear Dr. Don,
I lost my job three months ago, and I'm wondering what will happen to my 401(k). My employer has a policy of fully matching an employee's 401(k) contributions.
Do they still have to match my contribution? And how do l collect from my 401(k) so that l can survive until l can get another job?
-- Tony Taxable
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble landing a new job. Since you're no longer contributing to your former employer's 401(k) plan, it's no longer making matching contributions.
It's possible, however, that your former employer will make its matching contributions at the end of the year. If that's the case, they may still owe you a matching contribution depending on how the plan documents are written.
But the plan may also be structured so that you don't receive the company match if you're not an employee at the end of the year. Check with the plan administrator if you're not sure.
If you separated from service during or after the year you turned 55, then you can take money from the account without owing the 10 percent penalty tax for early withdrawals. However, you'll still owe income taxes on the distribution of the tax-deferred income.
You can also avoid the 10 percent penalty tax by receiving payouts structured as an annuity. They're called 72(t)/(q) distributions for the part of the Internal Revenue Code that covers these distributions.
The payments must be made at least annually, though they can also be monthly. They are based on either the life expectancy of the plan participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and the plan beneficiary.
The payments under this exception, with certain exceptions such as death or disability, have to continue for either five years or until the former employee reaches age 59 ½, whichever period is longer.
You can also do a trustee-to-trustee (or direct) transfer from your former employer's 401(k) plan to a rollover individual retirement account. By doing the trustee-to-trustee transfer, you avoid mandatory withholding of 20 percent of the account balance.
Once in the rollover IRA, you could take money from the account that's not subject to mandatory withholding and essentially have a 60-day loan before you would have to reinvest that money into another IRA investment to avoid any penalty or tax obligation.
You should talk with a tax professional if you're still in doubt about what to do.

Goldman Sachs reveals the top 25 overlooked opportunities that could make investors a bundle this earnings season

"Sam will assemble eight racecars an hour,"
and "Doris will learn how to box up trick flowers."
To curb Mort's predilection for "elfish N. C."
(That's non, dash, compliance, for laymen like me).
And Elspeth's continued "plotting activities"
Were discussed at a staffing on "Troubling Proclivities."
Could be programmed to handle their parts for The Day.
That elves, even elves!! had a key role to play!
Mort organised almost all of Group J.
Rather than having BS ones assigned.
To participate further, the rest of them rallied.
Free of BS restrictions and staff oversight!"
For the actions they'd need to effect all this change.
The Voc. staff reviewed all the wintertime goals.
But Mort's non-compliance was going to hell.
Save only Annabelle, Sam, and Renee.
Production decreasing, the stress levels rose.
"How could this happen?" Santa wanted to know.
The pressures I'm facing? Just two months to go!
Would they leave me on Christmas with nothing but snow?"
The workers were all at the Icicle CIL.
Santa was watching reruns of the 'thon.
The Voc. staff dejectedly munched on a flan.
Had formed an alliance with Voice of Elf Workers.
Faxed their press release to the ten o'clock news.
But a miserable Santa and eight picketing reindeer!
"We're striking in protest," announced one captioned "Comet".
"The conditions the elves describe would make you vomit!
For menial work, they get almost no pay.
While Santa, all jolly, just sits around laughing!"
Cut now to Elspeth, addressing the crowd.
Cut now to Mort, who is chanting real loud.
Cut now to Annabelle, now come around.
As the VEW folks berate her, she's holding her ground.
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fight!"
This poem originally appeared in the Nov.-Dec. 1999 joint issue of The Ragged Edge and Mouth magazine, The Gag.
Cal Montgomery is a regular contributor to Ragged Edge. Read her humorous essay, A Very Grave Matter.
Wonderful. And as timely as ever.
At the recent Summit for Full Participation in Washington, DC the delegates were asked to vote on whether or not sheltered workshops should close. 30% voted "not yet!" One out of three "leaders" in the DD field are still not weary of sucking money from these cash cows.
Will they ever "get it?" No. Shame, embarrassment, inconsistency make no impression on them. These places of horror will end when the victims seize power and end them.
Awesome! Would to God that we lived like these radical elves.

The Galaxy Note 7 recall debacle is gradually coming to an end for Samsung. In the coming week the company will start providing replacement inventory in key markets so that existing customers can turn in their Galaxy Note 7 units for new ones that have safe batteries. Once it's done replacing units, Samsung can get down to the business of selling the Galaxy Note 7 once again as sales were suspended when it officially acknowledged the battery cell issue and recalled the handset. Samsung has now said that it's going to resume Galaxy Note 7 sales on September 28.
A spokeswoman for the company has confirmed that Samsung is going to resume sales of the Galaxy Note 7 on September 28 in its home market of South Korea. Samsung will start providing replacement inventory in South Korea from Monday so there will be ample time for it to complete the replacement program before it resumes sales. Sales will resume in other countries as and when conditions allow but it shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks for the company to start selling the Galaxy Note 7 across the globe once again.
Samsung will be in redemption mode, which is good for us.
Financial problems, hardly. And the number of customers wanting an IR blaster probably account for less than 0.01% of its potential buyers so it is pointless adding one.
I hope they release the note 7 with a Gear VR headset in the Netherlands. Or take € 200 of the retailprice.
Wonder if the price will be effected or wot will be the Samsung refurb price ?
I was all set to buy the Note 7 but after this I'm giving it a miss. For the simple fact that this phone will have zero resale value in a years time due to the stigma.
What lesson have they learned? It was a manufacturing error, errors can happen any time.
Mine functioned fine. No issues whatsoever, but turned it in since the manufacturers demanded that it be replaced.
I feel well cared for and protected by Samsung. To be honest, I will buy Samsung devices again, prices permitting.
Potential buyers will for sure go for the phone with a reputation for blowing up. The Note brand is seriously damaged.
The prices will drop on the Note 7.
I don't see how the brand is damaged, specially since there is a recall process, a website that you can find if your IMEI is OK, and you get a brand new device.
The Note7 will be forever known as the phone that blew up. But since most sheeple have a 24 hour memory who knows how long that will last. Its up to the MSM.
Average user remember which iPhone bent?
Same with Note 7. People knows about a Samsung device. Only users of the Note 7 and tech freaks like us knows which model it was.
No disrespect to Samsung or the Note brand, but it doesn't bother me if the reputation is seriously damaged. I don't buy a phone because of it's reputation. It is the product and the price i pay for it that matters. The Note 7 is an amazing phone and if the prices drop that's even better!

Frances McDormand is so thoroughly engrossing a Lady Macbeth, and so unforgettable in her sleepwalking scene, that you can't help wishing Shakespeare had written a whole play for her. Conleth Hill's performance in the title role is an unsettling case study of a man realizing how badly he's become trapped in the escalating results of one very bad decision. He even makes you believe he actually sees that dagger dangling before him.
The "Macbeth" that opened Friday, Feb. 26, at Berkeley Rep's Roda Theatre is such a riveting experience for so long that you keep thinking it could be a triumph. It isn't. But given how close it comes and the track record of director Daniel Sullivan — particularly with Shakespeare at New York's Public Theater — it could become one if it has a future life.
It's an often gripping "Macbeth." An impressively designed and, for the most part, performed "Macbeth." It's also a refreshingly traditional "Macbeth," set in a grim medieval Scotland and almost intact, with a lightly and intelligently pruned text. But it has some uneven performances and runs out of steam toward the end.
Sullivan rivets our attention to the stage with the opening "When shall we three meet again?" scene. Amid a gothic chaos of sound, lights and fog, an unusually potent trio of Witches speak in chillingly business-as-usual tones as they gather about a bloody soldier hanging on the trunk of a huge, gnarled old tree. McDormand, Rami Margron and Mia Tagano — in seamless segues between richly individualized portraits and a harmonious unit — make the play's supernatural elements not only exciting but frighteningly part of the everyday world.
Sullivan's use of the Witches as central elements of the plot works very well. So does the general immersion in the medieval world of deep, old woods and vast rough stone castle walls created by the earth tones of Douglas W. Schmidt's knotted-fabric sets as overlaid with Alexander V. Nichols' evocative projections. The ravens croaking in Dan Moses Schreier's soundscape become so ominously integral to the action that some may suffer not-inappropriate flashbacks to a certain Alfred Hitchcock classic.
James Carpenter's unpretentious but firmly royal Duncan anchors the scene in which we learn about the gory military heroics of Macbeth and his comrade-at-arms Banquo, vividly related by Gene Gillette as a badly wounded soldier. (Carpenter will return as the drunken Porter, successfully conveying some of the role's often elusive humor without overplaying it.) Christopher Innvar, expressing battle-weary wariness with every quick draw of his massive broadsword, provides vital reinforcement to Macbeth as they receive the Witches' fateful predictions — establishing why Macbeth will regard Banquo as an unwanted obstacle later on.
The plot takes full hold in the richly nuanced, intense mutual familiarity of McDormand and Hill as they greet each other, plot together — with her pulling him along irresistibly, screwing his "courage to the sticking point" and finally taking things (daggers) into her own hands after the murder of Duncan. The intensity with which she watches him as he begins to fall apart, and his awareness of her gaze, encapsulates the tragedy that unfolds. And Hill is mesmerizing in the intimate details of Macbeth's doubts and horrors as he wades ever deeper in blood.
Korey Jackson is a vital, moving Macduff, and Scott Coopwood a fierce and magnetically devious Lennox. The bond between a bright young Leon Jones and Tagano's Lady Macduff intensifies the horror of that family's massacre. There are other strong performances in smaller roles, but some that don't hold up. Adam Magill's underwhelming delivery of Malcolm's long speeches slows things down as the drama reaches its climax. And Sullivan's staging of the final battle scenes, particularly between Macbeth and Macduff, makes for an anticlimactic finale. But until that late in the game, this has the makings of a "Macbeth" for the ages.

Matty & Bobby Kiss
The Kiss LIVE!
Mattyandbobbykiss.com is Home to all events and information regarding the "Our Lips Are Sealed" campaign, developed by college student activists Matty Daley and Bobby Canciello. The goal of the campaign is to Queer the Guinness World Records (some more).
Beginning August 11th, 2010 until August 12th, 2010, Matty and Bobby will attempt to break the world record for longest recorded "Longest Continuous Kiss". The record is currently held in Germany as of Valentine's day 2009, by Nikola Matovic and Kristina Reinhart, and was last held in the United States in 2001. The record currently stands @ 32 hours 7 minutes and 14 seconds. The record has never before been held by a homosexual coupling. Matty and Bobby plan to be the first pair of men to change that.
Join Matty and Bobby during these days to support the uprising of the GLBTQ community, in an effort of student activism, and in support of equal rights for every individual regardless of sexual orientation or gender, with an event that is sure to show the American community, and the world, that a kiss between two men (and women) can be so simple.
After years of fighting bigotry and discrimination, it's time to put down our words and demonstrate otherwise. When there's nothing left to say, say it with a kiss.
What: Breaking the Guinness World Record for "Longest Continuous Kiss"
When: September 18th-19th, 2010
Where: Alumni Grove of The College of New Jersey Campus in Ewing, NJ
How Long: Going for 33 hours
Why: the "Our Lips Are Sealed" campaign of student activism in support of LGBTQ equal rights

Rock Medical Named 2019 Arthrex Agency of the Year
From Arthrex Communications (9/24/19):
Congratulations to Cleveland, Ohio-based Rock Medical, which was named the 2019 Arthrex Agency of the Year at the Academy of Arthrex Technology Consultants (AATC) Awards Celebration event at the Gaylord Rockies Resort.
"This means the world," said Agency Principal Tom Ramsay. "This is our 19th year and we have just had a fabulous year. I'm just in awe."
Rock Medical was one of eight agencies nominated for the Agency of the Year award. Other regional nominees were: Crossroads Orthopedics, Gemini Mountain Medical, Gentleman Orthopedics, MVP Orthopedics, Prodigy Surgical, Summit Surgical and Titan Surgical.
Mid-Atlantic Senior Regional Manager Bart Kayser said Rock Medical has a commitment to professionalism and excellence that is unparalleled.
"It's the personnel out in the field who are important to what we do. They help fulfill the mission of Helping Surgeons Treat Their Patients Better™," he said. "Tom has sent a clear message to his team, redesigning his office so it feels like Arthrex, focusing on education, and they live it 365 days a year."
Tom said Arthrex's mission to help surgeons treat their patients better is what inspires Rock Medical's team daily.
"Our team puts their teammates before themselves. This group works every single day with each other, to have each other's backs in an effort to put surgeons at the center of our world."
As one of the agencies with the most growth in Fiscal Year 2019, Tom said the team had a strategy this year, which included moving into a new office that works to replicate some of the educational experience surgeons receive when they come to Arthrex global headquarters on an agency level.
"We tripled the amount of surgeon visitors to our lab," he said.
Rock Medical was also one of five agencies that achieved the most growth in Fiscal Year 2019, finishing with 23.3 percent growth.
We had 18 Rock Medical team members attend this year's AATC event. The Mid-Atlantic Region Agency of the Year Award is featured in this photo. The dress code at this year's award ceremony was lumberjack chic.

We are excited to share that Chris Gorta was named Mid-Atlantic Region Imaging & Resection Manger of the Year at the Academy of Arthrex Technology Consultants (AATC). The Awards Celebration was at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Denver on Saturday, Sept. 14.
