"The thatched roof on my summerhouse needed replacement after 25 years. Water had damaged the roof timbers rendering them irreparable. Dan skilfully designed a new roof to the same dimensions as the original, but using shingles instead of thatch. His workmanship is excellent, so the end result is very pleasing. My summerhouse has a new lease of life!"
ADCheltenham
"Phoned Ford Sheds to get a quote to replace the felt roof on my existing shed supplied by Peter Ford some years ago. Delighted that Peter's business had been taken over and was still running. Extremely helpful phone call, and prompt quote. Agreed a date which was confirmed again nearer the time. Dan arrived promptly and finished quicker than expected having done a very nice job in an awkward space. Would certainly use this company again."

"I would like to thank you for the excellent service you and your company have provided. From start to finish the whole experience has been a pleasure. I am over the moon with the quality of the potting shed and will definitely recommend you and your company."
SCGloucester

GCCheltenham
"Fords have provided us with a well built garden shed which they installed, that is a very pretty colour and will also be used as a summer/playhouse. Their service has been excellent. We would definitely recommend them"

As seen on DIY SOS!
As seen on BBC's DIY SOS!
In Spring 2015, the production team of popular BBC One makeover series DIY SOS appealed for help from tradespeople and businesses across Gloucestershire to transform the Cheltenham home of inspiring disabled athlete Scott Jones and his family.
Read about our involvement in the DIY SOS Big Build here
We were quick to volunteer to take part in the project having heard the DIY SOS Team's appeal in the local press and were delighted to be selected to take part in the makeover and to meet Scott and his family.
In August 2015, our team from Fords Garden Buildings joined the DIY SOS team, suppliers and volunteers to spend 9 days transforming the Jones' family home, creating an independent space for Scott and a wheelchair accessible garden.
We supplied and installed a high quality Apex model garden shed and also updated the family's existing Summerhouse with the addition of a smart new shingle roof. Our team also helped with other aspects of the garden makeover, working together with other volunteers to ensure the project was able to finish on schedule.
DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles gave his thanks to all those involved in the project for a "fantastic week" in Cheltenham.
Speaking about the project, Knowles explained, "We really couldn't have had more support from the local people and all the neighbours. The work has run pretty smoothly thanks to all our incredible volunteers and suppliers. We've often had more than 80 people working on site, all giving their time for free. The whole team hope that this is life-changing for Scott and his family. We've made some dramatic changes to the house and I think they will be amazed at the transformation."
It was a memorable experience for Dan Baker and the rest of the Fords Garden Buildings team and a real privilege to meet Scott and his family.
Since the DIY SOS project was completed we have received some very kind personal messages from the Jones family:
"Thank you (Fords) so much for your help! It literally means everything to my family and I."
"To all at Fords, just to reiterate what Scott has said, Scott's life has been transformed as a result of the generosity of yourselves and all the other tradesmen and women and we'll never be able to thank you all enough."
Liz Jones
We are so pleased to hear how the makeover has benefited Scott and his family. We thoroughly enjoyed our DIY SOS experience and it was fantastic to see local tradespeople working alongside each other with such great team spirit and comradery. It really was our pleasure to be able to play a small part in the project and to help such an inspiring young man and his family.
We would like to wish Scott and his family all the very best for the future and we look forward to seeing the full transformation when DIY SOS: The Big Build airs on Tuesday 20th September at 9pm on BBC One.
More about disabled athlete Scott Jones
As a child, student Scott Jones suffered a series of strokes caused by a tumour, which eventually left him paralysed from the chest down, and wheelchair bound for life. As a boy, he showed incredible promise in athletics and on the rugby field, and had hoped to have a successful career as a sportsman. He was told by doctors however, that following his strokes he would never play rugby again. Scott battled Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression as a teenager, but being highly ambitious and competitive, he has gone on to win gold medals and set world records in Shot Put. He has represented Great Britain in international competitions, and he now has his sights set on the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.
GOOD LUCK SCOT! From all of the team here at Fords Garden Buildings

White Collar Criminal Defense Attorney
The experienced and dedicated criminal justice attorneys at Rawls, Scheer, Clary, and Mingo have years of trial experience and representing those charged with white collar crimes. Call (704) 376-3200 to speak with someone now.
"White collar crime" was originally defined in 1939 as a "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." The term is no longer reserved for elites, and now basically means any financial crime committed by anyone in the course of any business. The specific white collar crimes go by the names wire fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, tax fraud, mortgage fraud, securities fraud, and healthcare fraud, but also embezzlement, identity theft, bribery, and extortion.
Hire Experienced White Collar Defense Attorneys
The criminal defense lawyers at Rawls, Scheer, Clary, & Mingo are Board Certified Specialists who have handled dozens of complicated and high-profile white-collar cases over the past 30+ years. These have included mortgage frauds involving tens of millions of dollars, alleged embezzlements from some of the largest companies in the world, international Ponzi schemes, securities frauds, and investigations into public corruption and influence peddling in Charlotte. They have represented people in courts across the United States and in foreign countries. But they also represent individuals charged with taking merchandise from the store they work for, those accused in check-kiting schemes, and many small business owners who have come under scrutiny for what the Government considered suspicious activity.White collar crime is often prosecuted by the Federal government (the United States Department of Justice and other agencies), but it is not uncommon that State prosecutors bring the cases in the local county courts.Prison sentences are almost always a possibility in white-collar cases. Particularly where the amount of money involved is high, the guidelines used by judges in determining sentences usually recommend or require active prison sentences. For example, under North Carolina law, fraud (called "false pretense") involving more than $100,000 is a Class C felony punishable by no less than 3 and ½ years in prison, even for a person who has never been convicted anything. Federal frauds involving the same amount of money yield recommended sentences of at least 2 years, and sentences of 5-10 years are not uncommon if that "loss amount" grows substantially.That said, with the help of an experienced white collar criminal defense lawyer, people targeted in these prosecutions can improve their situation dramatically. First, law enforcement sometimes gets it wrong, casting unfortunate business losses or misunderstandings as intentional fraud.Beginning with a thorough understanding of the financial transactions involved – sometimes with the help of forensic accountants – white-collar defense lawyers attack the biggest hurdle prosecutors have to jump to convict someone. It is hard to prove that someone specifically intended to defraud or steal from someone else, and the prosecutor can sometimes be convinced to dismiss their case because it is not what it seemed when they first charged. Even where a person is guilty of something, plea negotiations can yield dramatically reduced sentences and often no jail time at all if handled with skill.
"White Collar" Crimes vs "Blue Collar" Crimes
Historically, "blue collar" crime was any criminal act performed by civilians of lower economic and social stature, whereas "white collar" crimes were often associated with wealthier individuals residing in the upper echelon of America's social and economic structure. Today, "white collar crime" usually means crimes alleged to be committed by the business classes, the professional classes, or the political classes in today's society, AND usually involve large sums of money.For example, an ironworker who fraudulently adds time he never worked to his timecard could be accused of petty fraud, theft, or larceny; a CEO who 'cooks the books' to get a better stock performance may be accused of securities fraud. Whereas the former would be tried in a North Carolina state criminal court, the latter would be prosecuted in Federal court..Both white and blue collar crimes have serious implications if an indictment is handed down.
Common Blue Collar Crimes
Many blue collar crimes are committed to achieve white collar status, although usually on a much smaller scale. In neighborhoods, cities, and rural communities where opportunities for advancement or achieving higher incomes is stifled by lack of opportunity, crimes like burglary, fraud, forgery and similar often occur. "Blue collar" crime is also associated with crimes of violence such as robbery, assault, murder, sex offenses, and smaller drug offenses. These crimes of violence are not usually prosecuted in Federal Court unless tied to a specific Federal crime.Whichever path an individual enters the criminal justice system, it can be difficult to exit, and can create a perpetual revolving door of felonious activity and criminal punishments.
White Collar Crime and Corruption
Crimes committed by higher earning workers – mostly in corporate settings – have both different motivations and similar motivations to Blue collar offenders. Instead of trying to achieve white-collar status, multi million-dollar earners who get charged with financial crimes simply find themselves wanting more. Maybe an individual was passed up for promotion and wanted to retaliate by printing extra paychecks over several years; or, maybe a CEO was demoted and decided to wire themselves money before losing access to corporate bank accounts.Corruption is another motivator for workers to commit white collar crimes. Political parties may promise certain 'perks' in exchange for privilege or prestige. Maybe an anti-government organization made promises in exchange for monetary contribution to their cause. Some people are attracted to the corrupt lifestyle and use their position of power to help others corruptly achieve goals.It is always difficult to ascribe specific motivations for any type of crime, but it usually involves taking something that is not theirs, whether by violence or by deceit.The main difference between white collar crimes and blue collar crimes in America comes down to where the crime is committed, and whether the State or Federal authorities file criminal charges. Note that federal prosecutors can charge persons in some but not all situations, much like all North Carolina state prosecutors can charge in some but not all situations.
Attorneys Fight for Justice Regardless of the Alleged Crime
Persons who retain competent counsel will be afforded advantages of representation regardless of the alleged crime committed. There is no difference in an attorney's desire, zeal, or enthusiasm in defending blue or white collar crimes; each type has its own challenges, its merits, and its potential outcomes. The most important thing to remember is that you are innocent until proven otherwise, and should not be discouraged by investigators doing their job unless their investigation violates your constitutional or statutory rights.Rawls, Scheer, Clary, & Mingo offers experienced, skillful, and knowledgeable representation in many major cases involving white collar and blue collar crimes. Do not fight your criminal charges alone; we will fight with you.

Scores of Central American migrants, representing the thousands participating in a caravan trying to reach the U.S. border, rest in front of the office of the United Nation's human rights body, after undertaking an hours-long march to demand buses, in Mexico City, Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018. Members of the caravan which has stopped in Mexico City demanded buses to take them to the U.S. border, saying it is too cold and dangerous to continue walking and hitchhiking.
MEXICO CITY — About 500 Central American migrants headed out of Mexico City on Friday to embark on the longest and most dangerous leg of their journey to the U.S. border, while thousands more were waiting one day more at a massive improvised shelter.
For many, it was the first time they had ever been in a metro system, and they had little knowledge of the city or the 1,740 mile route to Tijuana that lay ahead of them.
The advanced group hoped to reach the north-central city of Queretaro, about 105 miles to the northwest, by nightfall.
The migrants said they wanted buses to take them to the U.S. border because it is too hard and dangerous to continue walking and hitchhiking. Benitez noted that it would be colder in northern Mexico and it wasn't safe for the migrants to continue along highways, where drug cartels frequently operate.

The winds of change in the UK media agency market are at Storm Force 10.
Simply put, client business needs have evolved at a much faster pace than 'The Big Six' network agencies have been able to match, as clients now seek a heady combination of agency attributes: experienced business partners, objective strategic recommendations, commercial agility, financial transparency, independent measurement technology, competitive buying, high levels of customer service and entrepreneurial gusto.
// Independent agency share of Nielsen media billings has gone up from 16% to 18% in the last 12 months and now represents over £1.6 BILLION of UK media investment.
// Independents hold both Media Week and Campaign Agency of the Year crowns.
// Further accolades for independent agencies continue to mount up, including: the 4th Fastest Growing Company in Europe by the Financial Times, Agency of the Year at The Masters of Marketing, Media Agency of the Year at The Drum Network Awards, Campaign's 2nd and 3rd Best Large Companies to work for (and their 1st placed Best Small Company to work for), Marketing Society Scotland Star Agency of the Year and two inclusions in the Sunday Times International Fast Track 200 – the list goes on.
// We keep hearing "it's never been a better time to be independent" evidenced by a surge in new agency model launches, including Bountiful Cow, Craft, Yonder, Wax/On, Brainlabs and Truth. Not to mention Goodstuff's very own Startstuff £1m Fund.
Maybe all this is linked, but the one thing we are absolutely certain of, and united around, is our belief that we are in 'the age of independence'; and our collective business model is future ready.
So, we thought we couldn't let the gift of 4th July pass this year without doing something in unity to celebrate our success, but moreover, our freedom to do the damn hell what, when and how we want.
We approached 20 of the most brilliant independent media agencies and asked them to take part in this video. Which being lovely people, they all did.
With thanks to; Bountiful Cow, Brainlabs, Craft Media, Crossmedia, Croud, December 19, Generation Media, MC&C, M.i. Media, Republic of Media, Smithfield, Talon, TCS media, The7stars, The Specialist Works, Total Media, VCCP Media & Yonder Media.


I have seen a lot of weird movies/comics/music videos/what-have-you. Stuff made on weapons-grade drugs. Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. Die Antwoord. The criminally terrible After Last Season. But I can honestly say that this has blown it out bigger and madder than almost anything I've ever seen before.
It's so insane that the video can't be played outside of its native YouTube.
I have NO idea what's going on in the second sequence, but I want to see that movie. The guy on the plane like some kind of inverted hood ornament looks like it might be some kind of Flash-inspired thing. And the catapults….
Bollywood kills it. Hollywood isn't producing anything anywhere near this imaginative and insane. Someone get these guys to Hollywood with an unlimited budget.
Walter Becker, co-founder of the legendary band Steely Dan, died Sunday September 3, 2017.
Anyone who has read this site for more than five minutes knows how respected the Dan is around here.
His bandmate and collaborator Donald Fagen wrote a tribute, posted on Rolling Stone's website. Read it here, or listen with brief commentary.
Thanks to wdydfae of "What Do You Do For An Encore?", who informed me of this. Read his post about the news here.
It's so eclectic and surprising.

Q: Releasing Media Player while preparing is causing app to freeze I have two activities a main activity which has Recyclerview and a detailedActivity which is launched every time the user clicks on one of the items of the Recyclerview. The detailedActivity has a mediaplayer component that is being created everytime a detailedActivity is created. Now in the onDestroy method I always free the resources taken by the mediaPlayer by this code:
@Override
 protected void onDestroy() {
    if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
        if (mMediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            mMediaPlayer.stop();}

        mMediaPlayer.release();
        mMediaPlayer=null;
    }

    super.onDestroy();
}

The app freezes for a while every time I click the back button while the mediaplayer is still preparing. The message that I get in the logcat is this:
I/Choreographer: Skipped 112 frames!  The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.

So this freezing only happens if I destroyed the activity while it is preparing but if it is already in the prepared state it won't happen. I use prepreAsync to fetch the media from the internet.
Thanks. Any help is highly appreciated. I have been stuck in this problem for days!

A: OK. I've kind of worked around the problem. I am writing this for anyone who might encounter the same situation as I did. I made two boolean flags in the scope of the class like this:
 boolean prepared = false;
 boolean cancel = false;

After that in the onpreapred method I set prepared to true.
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {

            prepared = true;

        }
    });

In the onDestroy method I check whether the mediaplayer is already prepared or not if prepared I release it from the method its self.
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
        if (mMediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            mMediaPlayer.stop();
        }
    if (prepared) {
            mMediaPlayer.release();
            mMediaPlayer = null;
        }
        cancel = true;

    }

    super.onDestroy();
}

Otherwise, I set cancel to true and implement on OnBufferingUpdateListener interface and override its method and release the mediaplayer from there.
@Override
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {

    if (cancel) {
        mp.reset();
        mp.release();
        mMediaPlayer = null;
        Log.i("msg", " mp released");
    }
}

A: Try to remove rechecking if mediaplayer is running or not.
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
  if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
    mMediaPlayer.stop();
    mMediaPlayer.release();
  }
  super.onDestroy();
}

If it still happens, try to remove checking mediaplayer in your onDestroy().

We have heard rumour that beginning next week, Walt Disney World Cast Members will be expected to clamp down on guests use of Fastpasses. For years, as long as your Fastpass was valid for the day of use and the time had passed it was good to use the rest of that day. It seems that this is to change and from Monday, guests will only be able to use their Fastpass on the date and between the times stated on the ticket. The reason for this change is unknown and is likely to make a lot of unhappy park tourers. We will keep you updated as to whether this change is implemented and if it is here to stay.
We're rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling….

If emerging Irish technology companies have their way, consumers will soon be able to avoid receiving text messages from bullies and stalkers by blocking their numbers.
These companies have developed solutions that, they say, will alleviate the problems associated with SMS bullying by allowing numbers to be blocked or words to be filtered.
At the moment, the only practical ways to avoid receiving nasty messages from a particular source are to change your number or stop using your phone.
Because the perpetrator is often anonymous, SMS bullying is potentially very damaging to victims. Equally, it can get out of hand because those sending messages don't see victims' reactions and might think it's all a bit of fun. Add to this the fact that young people are not inclined to tell an adult about abusive texts and things get even darker.
The recently released nationwide study, Cyberbullying amongst Post-Primary Students, carried out by Trinity College Dublin's Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre (ABRR), on behalf of the Irish Independentand Prime Time Investigates, shows that some 16.5pc of students reported having received an abusive text message outside of school in the past couple of months, while some 10.7pc said they sent such a message.
Michael O'Brien's company Openmind Networks is located across the road from the ABRR, which is more than a coincidence. "I had discussions with Dr Mona O'Moore, head of the centre, and it became clear little was being done in the area of preventing abusive texts.
"Parental control doesn't work well with teenagers, as it impinges on their right for freedom of expression. It drives the problem underground because teenagers will get second or third SIMs to avoid parents' interference," he says.
O'Brien developed Openmind's core products 'Traffic Control' and 'Protect' to empower victims to block, store and report abusive messages to a regulated third party. To date, two mobile operators outside of Ireland have adopted the solution, he says.
Meanwhile, the 'Kidsafe' product from Sentry Wireless is specifically designed for parents who want to have control over who their children can communicate with by mobile phone. It was launched at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in February and already has one deployment in Singapore. Sentry Wireless is a high-potential start-up located in the Digital Depot in Dublin.
"Kidsafe allows parents to approve a list of numbers a child can contact or be contacted by. It takes less than a minute to approve them and, once that's done, these are the only people the child can be in touch with. Usually, the parent approves 30 to 40 names," says Matt Norton, Sentry Wireless chief executive.
Similar to the drinks industry, mobile phone operators strive to be seen as promoting responsible and ethical use of their products. They joined forces in 2005 to bring out A Parent's Guide to Mobile Phones, an updated version of which will come out this autumn, according to Tommy McCabe, director of the Irish Cellular Industry Association.
As regards introducing the types of services described in this article, McCabe says operators will only take software solutions on board that they feel have been properly tried and tested.

Note: While this is a sponsored post, the opinions given are 100% my own.
My kids love handheld devices. If given the opportunity, I am sure that B and J would mess around on them for days at a time, uninterrupted. If given the opportunity, I am also sure that they would eat ice cream 9 days a day. Regardless, we obviously monitor and limit their usage on the devices. This does present some challenges, especially when it comes to gaming apps. Ideally, whatever it is they're playing would have lots of educational value, and not just be mindless timekillers. Once they get it into something, they really get into it, you see, so their engagement levels are through the roof sometimes. The problem I've had is finding educational games which they'll actually enjoy and engage in, instead of just the mindless ones.
Now, that's where Safari Tales comes in. Developed by Kuato Studios for 4-10 year olds, this is a pretty sweet game. Basically, you select your character (you start with a baby elephant, but can find others eventually, to play as them) and then you're free to roam an African savannah. Because it's a 3D world, you are really encouraged to explore the environments. The key to Safari Tales is that it enhances literacy skills. Throughout your adventure, you play various mini-games, and collect artefacts. Along the way, you learn numerous facts and figures about the environments and their inhabitants. One neat feature is that your session is recorded while you're playing. Then, at the end of it, an interactive storybook is created, so you can read about about what you did, on your adventure.
Going back to what I was saying about monitoring device usage. Safari Tales has an option called Parent's Corner, where you can personalize the game to your child's liking. For example, you can adjust the reading age accordingly. As well, you can pick the session length, so playtime doesn't go on and on!
We downloaded this game onto our iPad. While it was a bit tough for J (who's three years old), B (five years old) loves it. He especially likes interacting with the character, Darwin, who's a meerkat. Darwin's almost like a guide, in that he helps lead you through the game. However, at any time, you can also ask him questions, by selecting words, to form proper sentences. Darwin will then speak the answers to you. As far as I can tell, all of the Q &A is related to facts about the animals or the environments, which is pretty cool. Sometimes, B doesn't even play the rest of the game, and just kills time talking to Darwin!
Overall Safari Tales is one of the better downloadable educational games that I've experienced. It's fun, easy, and engaging, with graphics that are top notch. It's reasonably priced, too. Definitely recommended for young kids.
Cool And Unique Gifts For Kids!
Now normally, my posts providing helpful tips and advice………. aren't exactly very helpful.
So let's shake things up a bit! Check out this article from guest contributor Tracey Clayton. She offers up her expertise on a subject which we probably have all struggled with at some point in our lives.
Giving something to someone we love provides satisfaction both for us and the person to whom we give presents. A gift may prove a lot of things – love, respect, affection, tenderness, etc. It's not just a matter of buying a gift. Anyone can do that. The secret is that we listen to someone we love, to find out what they want and feel, what they rejoice over. Most people will say that they look forward to purchasing gifts much more than receiving one. However, buying a gift for children is the real magic with coming holidays or birthdays. They are happy with toys, coloring books, books, pencils, bags, clothes, sweets and the like. But, if you want to do something special and move away from usual gifts, there are always some cool and unique gifts that will make the children smile and remember how thrilled they were for a long time.
If a child loves going to the movies, why not give him/her tickets to go see his/her favorite movie? You can also give tickets to a game of their favorite sport. Going to the stadium to watch a live game can be a fun group experience if kids are old enough. You can also check for concerts that a child likes, and give tickets as gift.
The best thing about this gift is the thrill of receiving something new every month. You can find a number of educational children's magazines or fun kits to inspire children learn about the world around them. The latter allows you to choose by age (3-12 years) and teach children about animals, music, other countries, etc. – basically, whatever their interest is.
If your children are passionate about music, or sports, this is your chance to surprise them. Find something available near your residential area that interests your kids, whether it's playing music, dancing, or playing sports. It is recommended to enroll them for a short period of time to test if it's something they are truly passionate about, and if not, they can seek alternatives.
Computers have taken over our children, and they can now access any board game electronically. But perhaps they have never been exposed to a board game at home. Find games that are educational or that can help with motor skills. Some games that are fun to try include Scrabble, to practice vocabulary, Jenga, Monopoly or even a puzzle. And best of all, seek a way to schedule time and play as a family.
You can give a fishing rod, or a gardening kit as a present. The fishing rod requires an adult to take the time to teach the kids how to use it, and in turn it 'forces' the adults to get off the couch and spend time together with children. For more fun there is also very cool gadget called Rocket fishing rod. A gardening kit will allow your kids to learn how to plant seeds and take care of plants.
Toy train is a toy which everyone had when they were little. It will always be trendy and children still love it. Playing with trains and railways will keep the children occupied for quite some time. Drawing boards are a great gift for little artists. There are many kinds of boards, but those with automatic eraser like Boogie boards are especially fun for children. Playable art balls in beautiful colors are a great gift for children, too. They will have fun and at the same time learn about science. Kids love to build collections, and fantastic unique toys that can be purchased are simple pop vinyl figures also called bobbleheads. Children can learn useful things while collecting toys – neatness, meticulousness, organization, etc. It is important to see whether the children are mature enough to start collecting toys, whether they are able to appreciate them. Of course, it would be great if it became a family tradition, or if the child continued to collect toys that you already gathered in childhood.
These are the books for children in which the little reader, or the owner of the book, is the main hero of the story. In the stories, with the real names, your little one can travel to distant planets and hang out with fairies, wizards, pirates, etc. This is a gift that would later prove to be a real keepsake.
Do not forget that ultimately all is well except the child that is sitting on the bench, watching the other kids play with or without rules. The worst thing is when a child is not even on the bench, but at home, away from peers, fresh air, sunshine, joy and rosy cheeks. Moreover, outdoors is good for you, too, especially if you are one of the participants in the game.

There are some things that Zen monks don't know about, but one thing they definitely know is how to live a long and stress-free life. One secret to this is the great drink matcha green tea.
Matcha green tea is definitely the in thing right now. It you aren't drinking it you're missing out on the benefits including boosting metabolism, lowering stress and cholesterol levels, boosting the immune system and even fighting cancer.
Even though drinking green tea has been done in China for over 1,000 years it was Japan where it became an important part of the culture. The tea used was called matcha and it was used by Buddhist monks to stay alert yet calming during meditation.
Japanese tea leaves like this are grown in shaded areas to boost the amount of chlorophyll in them. The leaves rich in chlorophyll are then picked, steamed, and then dried down in to a fine powder.
While the history and cultivation of tea is pretty interesting in itself, but the thing that matters the most is how many antioxidants it has. Antioxidants are what give you the health benefits and matcha green tea has ten times as many antioxidants as a regular cup of tea.
This tea is so powerful because instead of using tea bags, you use the tea leaves. So nothing is wasted and you unlock the full potential of the leaves.
And matcha tea has a lot of potential. They have over six times the antioxidant levels of goji berries and seven times the levels of dark chocolate. It also has seventeen times the antioxidant levels of wild blueberries and over sixty times the antioxidant levels of Spinach! And this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's more to matcha than just this.
Green tea has plenty of antioxidants, including something called catechin. Catechin hunts down and eliminates free radicals and toxins. The most powerful kind of catechin you can find in green tea is called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which can be a very potent anti-carcinogen.
A study performed in 2003 by the University of Colorado did indeed confirm that matcha green tea had 137 times the amount of EGCG when compared to a regular cup of green tea.
One area with the highest life expectancy is Okinawa in Japan. One of the reasons Okinawans live for so long is because of all the matcha green tea drank there.
Matcha green tea cut its teeth in Japan and remains the most popular there, but it is becoming more popular across the entire world thanks to how well it fights inflammation, oxidation, and aging.
A study from 2011 by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that administering green tea or extracts of it heavily reduced cholesterol levels, especially levels of the particularly nasty LDL Cholesterol.
Another study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, this one from 1999, showed the catechins in green tea also had thermogenic properties and burns through fat beyond levels of regular tea.
The study showed that drinking green tea increased levels of thermogenesis (the rate the body burns calories) almost four times; from 8-10% to 35-43%.
There was another study that showed drinking matcha green tea just before exercising further boosted the amount of fat burned during exercise. There was an increase of up to 25%.
Both of these studies also suggested that drinking matcha green tea enhances both your resting metabolic rate and fat burning. It doesn't get much better than that.
Matcha tea leaves are grown in shaded areas, which is why they have so much more chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the reason leaves are green, hence good quality matcha is very green.
It's believed that chlorophyll can also detoxify the body, though this claim has yet to be scientifically proven. However it's worth mentioning because if true it means matcha green tea can remove toxins, heavy metals, poisons, dioxins and also things that disrupt your hormones.
Matcha green tea also has up to five times the amount of L-theanine than regular green teas. L-theanine is a kind of amino acid that has psychoactive properties. These psychoactives boost alpha wave activity in your brain.
Stress has been shown to induce beta wave activity, which makes you agitated. Alpha waves are the opposite. They get rid of stress, relax you and lower your blood pressure.
Although matcha tea does have some caffeine in it, it's countered by the L-theanine and won't leave you jittery. So matcha green tea gives you the concentration and clear mind that a cup of coffee or tea might, but with none of those jittery nerves you'd get from coffee.
Matcha green tea leaves are also packed full of dietary fiber. This dietary fiber keeps your digestion system going, gets rid of constipation, and keeps blood sugar even.
Drinking matcha tea can give you a great pick me up in the afternoon when you need it. It is an excellent alternative to coffee because it gives you the boost of caffeine with none of the headaches or crashing of coffee.


This weekend Fantasy Magazine will debut at the 2005 World Fantasy Convention in Madison, Wisconsin. Focusing upon original, fantastic stories with unconventional approaches, Sean Wallace, the editor of the publication, hopes to present fiction that will leave the reader with "a sense of wonder and excitement." Showcased in the premiere issue are fifteen stories supporting that statement.
Among the writers in FM that are known for their unique application of style and content are award nominated and/or award recipients Jeffrey Ford, Jeff VanderMeer, Nick Mamatas and Tim Pratt. Jeffrey Ford's "In the House of Four Seasons" is a story in nonchronological scenes written by an unreliable narrator. An exploration in early psychological treatment, the story contains a bizarre cast of characters in an environment where "everything outside is brought inside." In content and tone, the story feels reminiscent of works by L. Frank Baum, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe. Jeff VanderMeer's contribution is an excerpt from his upcoming novel Shriek: An Afterword . The excerpt introduces the narrator of Duncan Shriek's story, his sister. She relates events of the siblings' childhood, particularly, the death of their father and, afterwards, their move to the city of Ambergris. "At the End of the Hall," written by Nick Mamatas, is a contemporary story about an ailing, older woman, who has one last wish, her only wish, to make. Satirical, with a fast pace, the characterization of the protagonist in Mamatas' story makes it one of the highlights of the issue. Characterization is also a strong point in Tim Pratt's story, "The Tyrant in Love." This tale is told from the point of view of a hedonist, a tyrannical ruler who becomes bored with cruelty and debauchery and decides to do good deeds. Although a moral tale, this story isn't an examination of righteous choices, just selfish ones.
A closer examination of right and wrong is made in Eugie Foster's "The Bunny of Vengeance and the Bear of Death." Celestial deities debate the value of intervening, of interfering, in the lives of humans by using the life of one particular individual as an example. Another philosophical debate occurs in "The Sense of Spirals" written by Sonya Taaffe. In this case, a brother and a sister try to come to terms with their world of consistent, constant, change; they live in a city "changing, beneath the eye, beneath the hand, when no one was looking and in plain view." This examination is only enhanced by the lyrical, poetic quality of Taaffe's prose.
Sarah Brandywine Johnson and Catherynne M. Valente also use rich, complex language in their fiction. Johnson's narrator in "Hanging the Glass" is a writer telling the story of his lifelong friendship with an artist suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Placed in a contemporary setting, the story not only explores friendship but the relationship between the artist and his society. Valente's narrator is the Gretel from Grimm's Hansel and Gretel. "Bones Like Black Sugar" examines the psychological consequences of Gretel's childhood trauma. The subject matter and the prose give the story the feel of Angela Carter's rich, dark fiction.
One other story in FM expands a fairytale's narrative. In "A Sure and Certain Song," Erzebet YellowBoy returns to the tale of Grimm's Rapunzel. Taken from her parents as a baby, isolated from people throughout her life, this feral child learns the one word that that allows her to balance, to retain, her pastoral existence.
The most common setting in fantasy is the pastoral —a time of kings and queens, servants, magicians and gods, rights and wrongs clearly defined but difficult to abide by. In Fantasy Magazine , this setting is represented by two stories. "To Make the Dead Speak" by Margaret Ronald tells the tale of a young man as he attempts to reunite with his deceased first love, and Vera Nazarian's "Sun, In Its Copper Season," creates deities whose very presence and behavior regulates the world in which they reside. Both stories use a gentle pace and romantic language to tell a story of the consequences of one's decisions and actions.
Megan Messinger and Richard Parks set their stories in the near past or the present day. Messinger tells a beautiful story of identity and changelings set in San Francisco of the early 1900s. "Tear Her Standard Down" sets the protagonist, a young man who has been born in the wrong body type, against an Yksin, a creature of mixed animal and magical heritage. In Parks' "The Finer Points of Destruction," meanwhile, the protagonist must deal with the destruction of his apartment's belongings when he is visited by the Goddess, Kali. A quick and charming read, this story is more typical of genre fiction than most of the stories in the issue.
Two of the stories in FM take place in futuristic settings. Holly Phillips' "Summer Ice" (the only reprinted fiction in the issue, reprinted from her collection, In the Palace of Repose ) occurs in a future of continental poverty. The narrator, an artist recently moved from her family in the north, struggles in her new environment. She struggles with the warm temperatures. She struggles with multiple roles: teacher, co-worker, and neighbor. She struggles with the fear that she can no longer create her art. This story is not only about community and the sensitivity of the artist, but also about cyclical nature of life. On the other hand, "Closer to the Lung" by Simon Logan is a gritty, hard hitting story. Set in a stark, sparse future of infectious disease and industrial-hazardous employment, the protagonist seeks beauty and affection from a woman in a parasitical lifestyle. It is a story of obsessions, acceptance and resignation.
So that is the fiction in the premiere issue of Fantasy Magazine : fifteen works of fantastic fiction presented in one publication; fifteen writers, each with a story to tell. It is quite wonderful and very exciting.
Pam McNew has edited for Ideomancer , reviewed for Lit Haven and posted reviews of fiction at a variety of places.

If your theme fluctuates, you'll want to keep your nightclub lighting system can fluctuate by using it in color and intensity. That means if a person night you rock the house out as well as the next night roll with some golden oldies or country and then night this is a disco diva night, you desire your nightclub lighting design to reflect ambience from the songs and clientele.

Cat dander and allergies? Can pet medication control dander?
Unfortunately, there is no pet medication that will eliminate the allergen that triggers allergic reactions. I have two cats. When I pet my older cat Mollie and then touch my eyes, they immediately get itchy and begin to tear. If I pet my younger cat Millie and touch my eyes, nothing happens. This is weird but certain cats, trigger certain allergies. An estimated 6 million people are allergic to cats and one third of them have cats in their homes including me. When my doctor told me to get rid of the cats, I told him where to go! Steps can be taken in the home to decrease one's exposure to the cat allergen. Cat allergen is not actually cat hair but a protein that is present in the saliva and dander of the cat. The allergens become airborne and are inhaled into the nose or lungs. These produce the allergic reactions that you may experience. Cat allergen is sticky and carried on clothing.
There are some things that you can do if you do own a cat. I bought cat wipes and wipe down my cats every few days. This keeps their skin moist and reduces the amount of cat dander. This does help me. If you touch your cat, don't touch your face and make sure that you wash your hands right away. If you are severely allergic and do not have a cat, then don't consider getting one.
If you are like me, your allergy does not stop you. I have asthma and my cat did trigger attacks often. Instead of getting rid of my cat, I got rid of the asthma buy going to my doctor and getting on a preventative once a day inhaler. Now I have two cats and no asthma! You may have to consider limiting where your cat goes. Don't let him on your bed or on furniture. My does but I always gave my pets priority!

Pet Shop Boys ONLINE
The Pet Shop Boys don't need slick moves on the dance floor to set it alight.
The joke isn't translating. Or crossing the oceans. Or, let's be honest, just plain isn't funny.
As the Pet Shop Boys release Electric – an album highly geared to the dance floor, possibly their most accessible piece of dance pop in years – I ask vocalist and lyricist Neil Tennant if he has some patented moves when he hits the floor.
After a pause long enough to see civilisations rise and fall, his answer is short and in the negative. You could call him perplexed now, though maybe annoyed might be truer, when I foolishly persist and ask if it's too late, then, for him to develop one. There's an even longer pause, then: "I don't think I've ever thought about it before."
We are not amused.
Right, then. Moving along to the appeal of dance music for someone who isn't much of a dancer, Electric (produced by Tennant; his long-term musical partner, Chris Lowe; and electro-dance maven, DJ and occasional Madonna associate Stuart Price) carries a sense of euphoria, even set against the usual dry, if not deadpan, Tennant vocals. It taps directly into the thrill of clubbing any time in the past 40 years, which, it should be noted, is almost as long as the Pet Shop Boys have been hit makers.
"I haven't been clubbing for many years and there is a song specifically about this on the album, looking back to that sense of warmth and community," Tennant says, objecting to the (imagined) suggestion that you can't make dance music if you're not dancing. "You can listen to Swan Lake without feeling the need to pirouette around the room. Was Tchaikovsky a ballet dancer?"
True, but as one of a pair that has written music for a film (the silent classic Battleship Potemkin) and a musical (Closer to Heaven), Tennant knows that to make the music in the first place, Tchaikovsky was immersed in the theatre and the music and context of ballet. Like the Pet Shop Boys, he didn't need to be doing it to understand it; he was smart enough to get it.
What has always been enjoyable about the Pet Shop Boys is a sense of intelligence that is part of the scene in which the band's output sits – yet they remain separate from it and observe it, bringing in elements that rarely fly with the essential ephemeral nature of dance music, such as literature, art, film, philosophy and, latterly, middle-aged life.
"That's what we've tried to do over the years, bringing together pure instances of physical pleasure with something more philosophical or political," Tennant says. "Because we don't just like dance music, you know: this is probably only the second time we've made a dance record all the way through.
"All the way through our so-called career, we've always thought there should be no barriers in the songs you make; you can sing about any subject," he says.
"Being in sync with what's going on – well, our instinct is to swim against the tide.
"That's the great thing about popular culture, it can always surprise you. What you're aiming for is some kind of originality as well. When you hear [new song] Love Is a Bourgeois Construct, I don't think we are the only group that could have written that but there are not many that could have done it."
That standing outside the flow, of commenting truthfully, means that, bizarre as it might seem, there is something quite appropriate about the Pet Shop Boys covering Bruce Springsteen's The Last to Die on this album.
"I think there is common ground between the Pet Shop Boys and Bruce Springsteen because we both tell stories about the world as we see it," Tennant says. "Chris' sister suggested we do this and when we played it in the studio, we could imagine doing it with the big guitar riff changed to a vocal riff, and the chords are so beautiful and it has drama. Every now and then, of course, Bruce Springsteen has made a record that we think sounds like the Pet Shop Boys; Streets of Philadelphia has got a drum machine, open chords and that stripped-down, almost electronic [feel], really, like his album Tunnel of Love."
Like the emotionally fraught Tunnel of Love, the Pet Shop Boys' previous album, Elysium, was more subdued than this new album. Given most of the songs for Electric were written at the same time, it suggests a deliberate separation of introspective and euphoric material. "We decided we wanted to make a mood piece, and the dance album almost happened as a side project. But it rapidly became a fully fledged album as we wrote more songs and approached Stuart Price," Tennant says. "They are, in their way, a sort of a pair, really: Elysium is a much more personal, intimate album that we play at home and Electric is going out, playing-in-the-car kind of record."
In sound, style and words, then, these two albums give you a sense of a group not so easily packaged as middle-aged men looking back or ageing hipsters trying to reclaim their youth.
"We've never lost that childish sense of making something up, of playing for the sake of it and having fun. That's really why we're still together. It's energising."

(Nov. 10, 2010)--As part of UTSA Diversity Month, the UTSA East Asia Institute will host a free screening of the documentary "Autumn Gem: The Story of China's First Feminist" at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 14 in the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02) on the UTSA Main Campus. Directors Rae Chang and Adam Tow will attend the screening to meet the public and discuss their project.
The film is about Qui Jin, a Joan of Arc-style character, who defied tradition to become the leader of a revolutionary army fighting against the corrupt Qing dynasty. The radical women's-rights activist challenged traditional gender roles and emerged as a national heroine celebrated in China today.
Chang graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in art and anthropology. Her short films have been presented at APAture Film Night in 2003 and the Women of Color Film Festival in 2004.


Using a scope to examine your digestive system. A thin, flexible, lighted instrument (endoscope) is passed down your throat so that your doctor can view your esophagus, stomach and the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). This will also allow the doctor to collect small pieces of tissue from your duodenum to look for inflammation.
Over-the-counter gas remedies. Drugs that contain the ingredient simethicone may provide some relief by reducing intestinal gas. Examples of gas-relieving remedies include Mylanta and Gas-X.
Over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors include lansoprazole (Prevacid 24HR), omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) and esopremazole (Nexium). Other proton pump inhibitors also are available by prescription.
Medication to increase the rate of stomach emptying. Doctors may prescribe the medication metoclopramide (Reglan) if they find that emptying of your stomach is delayed, but this drug doesn't work for everyone and may have significant side effects.
Herbal supplements. Herbal remedies that may be of some benefit for nonulcer stomach pain include a combination of angelica, peppermint leaf, clown's mustard plant, German chamomile, caraway, licorice, milk thistle, celandine and lemon balm. These supplements may relieve some of the symptoms of nonulcer stomach pain, such as fullness and gastrointestinal spasms.
Artichoke leaf extract may reduce other symptoms of nonulcer stomach pain, including vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain.
Make a list of all medications, as well as any vitamins or supplements you take.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your visit. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out.
What is likely causing my stomach discomfort?
What are other possible causes for my stomach discomfort?
Is my stomach discomfort likely temporary or chronic?
In addition to the questions you've prepared, don't hesitate to ask your doctor other questions that occur to you during your appointment.

Friedensbrücke (také: Syratalviadukt, Syratalbrücke, dříve: Friedrich-August-Brücke, Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke) je silniční obloukový most v Plavně v Sasku, v Německu, podél ulice Friedenstraße, přes potok Syra a ulice Dobenaustraße a Zufahrt Sternquell.

Historie
O potřebě postavit most přes potok Syru se začalo mluvit v roce 1886 a v roce 1901 bylo vypsáno výběrové řízení. Bylo předloženo 23 návrhů, z toho šest železných konstrukcí a šestnáct betonových nebo železobetonových konstrukcí. Byl zvolen design C. Liebold & Co., která počítala s mostem z kamene a cementové malty se třemi oblouky po 35, 52 a 35 metrech. Město tuto nabídku přijalo, protože cena byla stejná jako u železné konstrukce, ale náklady na údržbu byly nižší. V roce 1902 předložila firma C. Liebold & Co. vzhledem k podmínkám založení a ve spolupráci s městskou správou další nabídku, která zahrnovala stavbu s jedním obloukem o délce 90 metrů. Zakázka byla nakonec přijata na základě tohoto návrhu, a to i proto, že most by byl stavbou s největším přírodním kamenným obloukem na světě. Stavba byla zahájena 26. března 1903 a od 21. srpna 1903 do 8. listopadu 1903 byl vztyčen mostní oblouk. Dne 24. srpna 1905 byla stavba za přítomnosti krále Friedricha Augusta III. předána do užívání. V roce 1913 bylo zábradlí zajištěno proti přelezení, protože počet sebevražd byl velmi vysoký. V roce 1923 byl most renovován a v roce 1933 byl uzavřen.

V roce 1945, těsně před koncem války, byl most zasažen bombami, které zničily asi 40 % konstrukce, ale most se nezřítil. Dne 7. srpna 1945 byl přejmenován na Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke. V letech 1946–1949 byly poškozené části rekonstruovány. Dne 22. prosince 1949 byl provoz obnoven. Kvůli poškození však již nebyl využíván tramvajemi. V roce 1973 byl název změněn na Friedensbrücke[2].

V roce 1994 byla stavba památkově chráněna a do roku 1995 renovována. V letech 2001 až 2004 byl znovu renovován.

Náklady na výstavbu původní stavby činily 487 000 marek na samotnou stavbu a 250 000 marek na nákup pozemku. Při stavbě bylo použito 60 % přírodního kamene z místních zdrojů (lámaná břidlice) a 40 % cementové malty.

Mezi odstraněním bednění a otevřením pro dopravu se most sesedl o 16,4 cm. Do konce roku 1905 sesedl o dalších 5,2 cm a v roce 1997 to bylo celkem 44 cm. Od roku 1905 se most sesedá v průměru o 2 mm ročně.

Technické údaje mostu

 délka: 136 m
 celková šířka: 17,00 m,
 šířka oblouku: 16,00 m,
 rozpětí oblouku: 90,00 m,
 tloušťka oblouku: 1,50 - 4,00 m,
 šířka chodníku: 2 × 3 m,
 plocha mostu: 2 460 m².

Opravy
Kvůli poškození těsnění a postupnému sesedání koruny byl most do roku 1945 několikrát opravován:

 1913 - Zvedání vozovky
 1923 - Injektáž obloukového zdiva
 1934 - Odstranění zásypu ve střední části oblouku a nové utěsnění
 1938 - instalace pohyblivých kloubů
 1945 - na konci války (2. světová válka) byla mostní konstrukce zčásti vážně poškozena.
 1946 - odstranění škod po bombách
 1991 - výměna dlážděné vozovky za asfaltovou.
 2001 - Základní oprava

What is a Corbett? Scotland's mountains explained
By Julia Clarke
What is a Corbett? We explain what defines these Scottish mountains, where to find them and how to get started as a Corbetteer
A Corbett is the name given to a mountain in Scotland that is between 2,500 and 3,000 feet high (Image credit: munro1)
Hiking in Scotland doesn't just treat you to some of the best mountainous scenery in the world, it opens you up to a whole new vocabulary. Lakes are lochs, valleys are glens and many mountains are called Corbetts. So what is a Corbett? We take a look at this designation of Scottish mountains and suggest a few to start with if you're ready to hit the trail.
What is a Corbett?
Perhaps the most popular Corbett for hillwalkers is Ben Arthur, more commonly known as The Cobbler, which is only about an hour's drive from Glasgow (Image credit: theasis)
A Corbett is the name given to a mountain in Scotland that is between 2,500 and 3,000 feet high. In order to be classified as a Corbett, it also has to have a 500 foot drop on all sides.
Corbett's are named after John Rooke Corbett, one of the founding members of the Rucksack Club. Corbett compiled a list of mountains that met the designation in the 1920s and it was given to the Scottish Mountaineering Club after his death in 1949. Corbett also holds the distinction of being the fourth person to hike all the Munros, and the first Englishman to do so.
What is the difference between a Munro and a Corbett?
The difference between a Munro and a Corbett is in the numbers. Once a mountain in Scotland is over 3,000 feet, it is classified as a Munro and these make up the tallest mountains in Scotland from the smallest Munro, Ben Vane, to the tallest, Ben Nevis.
How many Corbetts are in Scotland?
Believe it or not, this tiny country is home to a whopping 221 Corbetts (Image credit: Sam Spicer)
Believe it or not, this tiny country is home to a whopping 221 Corbetts. You might think they're all in the Highlands, and many are, but in fact these mountains are scattered all across the country, from the borders area of Dumfries and Galloway to the western isle of Arran.
Perhaps the most popular Corbett for hillwalkers is Ben Arthur, more commonly known as The Cobbler, which is only about an hour's drive from Glasgow, the country's most populous city.
A person who climbs all 221 peaks is known as a Corbetteer.
What is the highest Corbett?
You might think the Corbetts are all in the Highlands, and many are, but in fact these mountains are scattered all across the country (Image credit: Coultham)
The highest Corbett is Beinn a' Chlaidheimh (meaning "hill of the sword") in the remote northwest Highlands. Its distinctive peak stands just two feet short of Munro status and in fact, it was believed to be a Munro until 2012. It lies in the large, mountainous region of the Dundonnell and Fisherfield Forest in Wester Ross and is often climbed as part of the Fisherfield Six in conjunction with five nearby Munros.
How to get started as a Corbetteer

Interested in bagging some of Scotland's Corbetts? With such a big list of mountains to choose from, the Corbett hikes range from remote and challenging to moderate walks on well-maintained paths. Below is a list of some of the Corbetts that have good paths and straightforward approaches that offer a great starting point for your adventures:
Beinn Donich
Ben Ledi
Ben Rinnes
Ben Vane
Goat Fell
Little Wyvis via the track
Meall a'Bhuachaille
The Merrick from Loch Trool
Even though these are simple hikes, they will still pose a good challenge and you should always dress appropriately with proper hiking boots and a waterproof jacket when attempting any Corbett, carry a map and compass and check the weather before you go.
