Youngsters of South Canterbury are being asked to design their own stamp which could get printed by Timaru Philatelic Society. 90 years of stamp collecting in Timaru will be celebrated next February in a special way. The society will design their own stamp while they would ask children to design one. This activity is being conducted to inspire the kids to be a part of the society's junior club stamp collecting club.
The society is organising a stamp design competition for the first time. The theme for the design would be left open. The winning design will be featured on a printed stamp in February 2018. It would feature NZ Post logo and cost $1. Money earned through the sale of these stamps will be donated to the society. Hundreds of stamps would be printed and they would be sold at the society's stamp fair in February.
There were six members of the junior stamp club, who met during school holidays. These members learn about stamps and countries that they belong to. Western countries changed the names of many countries. For Example, Hungary was earlier called Magyar and Zimbabwe's name was changed to Rhodesia. The young collectors also learned about the terms related to stamp collecting.
They engaged in other activities like quizzes and crosswords as well. They learned how to soak stamps properly before adding them to an album.

China has started ranking citizens with a creepy 'social credit' system — here's what you can do wrong, and the embarrassing, demeaning ways they can punish you

China plans to rank all its citizens based on their "social credit" by 2020.
People can be rewarded or punished according to their scores.
Like private financial credit scores, a person's social scores can move up and down according to their behavior.
At the moment the system is piecemeal - some are run by city councils, while others are scored by private tech platforms that hold personal data.
Scroll down to see how you can be punished or rewarded.
The Chinese state is setting up a vast ranking system system that will monitor the behavior of its enormous population, and rank them all based on their "social credit."
The "social credit system," first announced in 2014, aims to reinforce the idea that "keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful," according to a government document.
The program is due to be fully operational nationwide by 2020, but is being piloted for millions of people across the country already. The scheme will be mandatory.
At the moment the system is piecemeal - some are run by city councils, others are scored by private tech platforms which hold personal data.
Like private credit scores, a person's social score can move up and down depending on their behavior. The exact methodology is a secret - but examples of infractions include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games and posting fake news online.
NOW WATCH: How 'leftover' women in China are changing its culture >>


Happy February! That means one month of 2016 down and it's time to report and reflect on my goals. My first month went well… Turns out I still have no idea what I'm doing… But Thank You for checking in on me and my Blogging goals for 2016. My goal for 2016 is to expand this blog, as I am more and more realizing that this is actually the job I'm best at. To get the full rundown on my 2016 Game Plan, visit my original Mommy Money on the Internet Post HERE.
January Report: $30.50 … WAY below goal… bummer. Here's to hoping Easter is BIG!
January Report: $36.75 … not bad! I'll start promoting my Easter hats NOW!
Goal: Become an EXPERT in something else… I am already an EXPERT in Public Speaking… Who knew?
January Report: I now have 532 followers! Goal surpassed! Achieved by using #hashtags and following others.
I joined many new Communities and had hoped for more than 7… We'll see about February.
Goal: Learn how and the heck to use this effectively. What is it even for anyway?
Rebuild branding and boards, increase followers to 700 from 685 and participate in more group boards.
recipes which over pin. JUST DID. So that should help!
You win some you lose some. In all fairness, I'm still trying to figure out my next Toddler School unit so Blog posts are pretty random right now and even I struggle to follow them! I can only imagine how disorganized that looks to potential customers. January also tends to be a low sales month right after Christmas so I'll hope for a good Valentine's Day and Easter recovery! I did achieve and even pass a few goals like Instagram Followers and Blog Adsense Income! Hooray! Let's go February!

Q: Call Service In Function In config() In AngularJS I have this config() block in an AngularJS app:
  .config(function(RestangularProvider, apiServerConstants) {
    RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl(apiServerConstants.url + apiServerConstants.apiPath + apiServerConstants.apiVersion);
    RestangularProvider.setFullRequestInterceptor(function(element, operation, route, url, headers, params, httpConfig) {
      // access local storage
      return {
        element: element,
        params: _.extend(params, {single: true}),
        headers: headers,
        httpConfig: httpConfig
      };
    });
  });

How do I inject my localStorageService (from grevory/angular-local-storage) in the function being called by RestangularProvider.setFullRequestInterceptor(). I need to configure the interceptor function such that it calls localStorageService.get() to be able to access data in local storage to include with every Restangular request I make.
PS: I know that in config() or run(), you can only call providers or constants. I'm wondering if the code in the function inside setFullRequestInterceptor(), which only gets called at run-time, can somehow instantiate or get localStorageService?

A: This not possible.
You can only inject into .config the following items:

*

*CONSTANT

*VALUE

*PROVIDER

See oficial doc here, I quote :

Configuration blocks - get executed during the provider registrations
  and configuration phase. Only providers and constants can be injected
  into configuration blocks. This is to prevent accidental instantiation
  of services before they have been fully configured.

Disclosure say they didn't steal any lyrics, sir, honest!
But is it true? And if it is so, what does that mean for Katie Farrah Sopher? Is it all one big conspiracy? What's going on?! Whom do we believe?
Sorry about the title, it's just more exciting than "release statement" or any such properness. Anyway, Disclosure have "released" a "statement" saying that they didn't actually steal any lyrics. Fair enough.
They say (amongst other things, in the statement below) that every Disclosure song is written by them; sometimes they co-write with "whoever the featured singer may be". In the interest of skepticism and blind questioning, who's to say that those singers in question weren't… sharing the same songbook… like a kind of singer-songwriter illuminati…? Hahaha, I'm sorry. I don't know.
It just means, if the below words are true, that Katie Farrah Sopher – who claims Disclosure (and others) stole her lyrics, inspired by her abusive ex-boyfriend – is a bit deluded, which is sad. There are other possibilities – that it was just skewed out of proportion in the Mail, which first reported the story; that it never even happened and Miss Sopher doesn't actually exist. Who knows.
In better news… Album 2 is niiiiicely underway!

"Hank's Ass" (Specifically: "The Kissing Thereof"):
Having been around the block for a while, I've observed the belief systems that constitute the primary beliefs of most organized religions. Every sect I've run across where people waive the holy-flag & salute the unholy one (often not quite sure which is which or if there is any difference at all), --all of those groups seem to eventually subjugate themselves to the doctrine of "Kissing Hank's Ass". And, in such groups -- getting as close as possible to "Hank" is the end-all of divine goals bestowed upon mere men.
Sound corny? Well, it should. Because it is. Nevertheless, socialized religious sects seem to embrace the fundamental principles of kissing Hank's ass in many ways -- though seldom expressing the folly in such blunt terms.
This is the fundamental flaw of most sects/religions/politicos, etc., - expressed by the following anecdote:
KISSING HANK'S ARSE:
This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well groomed, nicely dressed couple. The man spoke first:
John: "Hi! I'm John, and this is Mary."
Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us."
Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss His ass?"
John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, He'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, He'll kick the shit out of you."
Me: "What? Is this some sort of bizarre mob shake-down?"
John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do whatever He wants, and what He wants is to give you a million dollars, but He can't until you kiss His ass."
Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..."
Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the ass?"
Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..."
John: "Then come kiss Hank's ass with us."
Me: "Do you kiss Hank's ass often?"
Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..."
Me: "And has He given you a million dollars?"
John: "Well no. You don't actually get the money until you leave town."
Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?"
Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money, and He kicks the shit out of you."
Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's ass, left town, and got the million dollars?"
John: "My mother kissed Hank's ass for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money."
Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?"
John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it."
Me: "So what makes you think He'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?"
Mary: "Well, He gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise, maybe you'll win a small lotto, maybe you'll just find a twenty-dollar bill on the street."
Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?"
John: "Hank has certain 'connections.'"
Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game."
John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's ass He'll kick the shit out of you."
Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to Him, get the details straight from Him..."
Mary: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank."
Me: "Then how do you kiss His ass?"
John: "Sometimes we just blow Him a kiss, and think of His ass. Other times we kiss Karl's ass, and he passes it on."
Me: "Who's Karl?"
Mary: "A friend of ours. He's the one who taught us all about kissing Hank's ass. All we had to do was take him out to dinner a few times."
Me: "And you just took his word for it when he said there was a Hank, that Hank wanted you to kiss His ass, and that Hank would reward you?"
John: "Oh no! Karl has a letter he got from Hank years ago explaining the whole thing. Here's a copy; see for yourself."
From the Desk of Karl
Kiss Hank's ass and He'll give you a million dollars when you leave town.
Use alcohol in moderation.
Kick the shit out of people who aren't like you.
Eat right.
Hank dictated this list Himself.
The moon is made of green cheese.
Everything Hank says is right.
Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.
Don't use alcohol.
Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.
Kiss Hank's ass or He'll kick the shit out of you.
Me: "This appears to be written on Karl's letterhead."
Mary: "Hank didn't have any paper."
Me: "I have a hunch that if we checked we'd find this is Karl's handwriting."
John: "Of course, Hank dictated it."
Me: "I thought you said no one gets to see Hank?"
Mary: "Not now, but years ago He would talk to some people."
Me: "I thought you said He was a philanthropist. What sort of philanthropist kicks the shit out of people just because they're different?"
Mary: "It's what Hank wants, and Hank's always right."
Me: "How do you figure that?"
Mary: "Item 7 says 'Everything Hank says is right.' That's good enough for me!"
Me: "Maybe your friend Karl just made the whole thing up."
John: "No way! Item 5 says 'Hank dictated this list himself.' Besides, item 2 says 'Use alcohol in moderation,' Item 4 says 'Eat right,' and item 8 says 'Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.' Everyone knows those things are right, so the rest must be true, too."
Me: "But 9 says 'Don't use alcohol.' which doesn't quite go with item 2, and 6 says 'The moon is made of green cheese,' which is just plain wrong."
John: "There's no contradiction between 9 and 2, 9 just clarifies 2. As far as 6 goes, you've never been to the moon, so you can't say for sure."
Me: "Scientists have pretty firmly established that the moon is made of rock..."
Mary: "But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese."
Me: "I'm not really an expert, but I think the theory that the Moon was somehow 'captured' by the Earth has been discounted*. Besides, not knowing where the rock came from doesn't make it cheese."
John: "Ha! You just admitted that scientists make mistakes, but we know Hank is always right!"
Me: "We do?"
Mary: "Of course we do, Item 7 says so."
Me: "You're saying Hank's always right because the list says so, the list is right because Hank dictated it, and we know that Hank dictated it because the list says so. That's circular logic, no different than saying 'Hank's right because He says He's right.'"
John: "Now you're getting it! It's so rewarding to see someone come around to Hank's way of thinking."
Me: "But...oh, never mind. What's the deal with wieners?"
Mary: She blushes.
John: "Wieners, in buns, no condiments. It's Hank's way. Anything else is wrong."
Me: "What if I don't have a bun?"
John: "No bun, no wiener. A wiener without a bun is wrong."
Me: "No relish? No Mustard?"
Mary: She looks positively stricken.
John: He's shouting. "There's no need for such language! Condiments of any kind are wrong!"
Me: "So a big pile of sauerkraut with some wieners chopped up in it would be out of the question?"
Mary: Sticks her fingers in her ears. "I am not listening to this. La la la, la la, la la la."
John: "That's disgusting. Only some sort of evil deviant would eat that..."
Me: "It's good! I eat it all the time."
Mary: She faints.
John: He catches Mary. "Well, if I'd known you were one of those I wouldn't have wasted my time. When Hank kicks the shit out of you I'll be there, counting my money and laughing. I'll kiss Hank's ass for you, you bunless cut-wienered kraut-eater."
With this, John dragged Mary to their waiting car, and sped off.
Followers of Hank all seem to have several things in common: Higher Brain-Functions: Switched-off. They do not question. They do not demand that logical flaws be investigated for resolution. Like most religions (& politics): Hank (if he exists) is a self-centered aggrandizing lawless prick. And Hank's followers are people who lack the mental ammunition to ask the right questions (much less demand answers that make sense). Sadly -- Hank's followers constitute the vast majority of religious people you'll meet -- probably even you. It once was me. Until I made the quality decision to "Kick Hank's Arse".
To do the job & do it well -- might I suggest some classes in fundamental law & logic. System's analyst's make good lawyers -& the more intellect you bring to bear on the task of exposing Hank -- the more people who'll join you in an arse-kicking-campaign. It eventually becomes a pleasurable hobby - to KICK Hank's arse.
Now with all of this talk about exposing Hank & his false doctrines - added to my iconoclastic viewpoint of most "religions"; --0ne might presume that I'm an Atheist. Well, no; -- But Atheism or Agnosticism is a great place to start. You see, they haven't bought into the libraries full of hank's bullsh1t. Any honest Atheist will admit that their belief system is based on their own observations of "evidence" and that to date -- insufficient evidence has been presented to them in order to cause a fundamental shift in their belief system. That's certainly a fair & rational viewpoint. However, any questioning person who begins to look into the science of the universe in the microcosm will soon be confronted with a series of mathematical probabilities that strongly suggest (& I mean by trillions to one or more) an intelligent designer. What most discover is that the numbers themselves favor ID - greatly favor it. And I'm talking scientific method & statistical analysis ... not magic (I don't believe in magic ... but any sufficiently developed technical way of doing things is often indistinguishable from it). What anyone who studies the Bible will discover is that the God of Law does not go about breaking them - ever! And I would suggest that computers & virtual environments now give us an analog for creationism unparalleled in human history.
And ironically, -Judaism & it's progression into what is called "Christianity" are belief systems that expect people to be fully convinced in their own minds. Although, you'd not know this looking at the mentally-challenged who are the vocal "leaders" of these "faiths" today! My belief is that it's much easier for people to believe "Hank's lies" then it is to do the hard research & ask the right questions that leads a person to catch a glimpse of God. And this is why all the various "Hanks" out there get so much easy press.
According to the New Testament, the purpose of Jesus was to provide nexus to God's existence from that of man's fallen (animal-like) condition. Having a genius IQ & wide background in law & the sciences - my hypothesis was that Jesus was God's human analogue -- a man fully built & tested in all ways in order to be given an irrevocable trust: All that is of God. According to the new testament, Jesus (the 2nd 'Adam') became a life-giving spirit. From a scientific, hypothetical perspective -- to rephrase: All that was Jesus changed from from corporeal into a high energy plasma (whether electrical or other scientific phenomena) and in that form he interacts with men to cause dramatic changes in order to bring about moral behavior. Millions of people who have experienced this form of life changing experience can explain many of the ways in which they were changed in their predominant personality -- but cannot explain any scientific methodology as to HOW the changes happened. In analog: Not understanding how a bridge is constructed --but trusting in it's ability to allow safe passage is the fundamental explanation of the term "faith". I simply have a desire to understand the plausible physics behind what is a phenomena that sets Apostolic Christianity apart from all other world religions. From what I can discern - the Spirit of Christ is a phenomena that dramatically affects the brain chemistry of those yielded to His influence. The model might be a tightly modulated, multi-phase electri'esque phenomena that affects the mind of one influenced by it by shaping the chaotic strange attractors that constitute though processes - w. the very mental anagrams of Jesus himself. While it is difficult to explain this to people who do not have an understanding of the sciences interwoven to facilitate the process - there are examples in nature that give insight into the various components of the hypothesis. In my mind, the plausibility of this is so rational to conceive -- that it is not as much a matter of "faith" as it is a matter of astonishment concerning the brilliance of God to lawfully "hack" His way back into a creation that had been subjugated to such calamity by the 1st trustee - Adam (who had been deceived by one bent on challenging the very constitution of God's integrity). I regret that I cannot articulate what I understand - into an explanation here -- but it's taken decades to learn the principles used to form this hypothesis & in the process I have come to accept the fact that most people will never see the physical world in the resolution that my intellect allows me. However, the brilliance behind God's methodology is that it is not contingent on intellectuals to excogitate in order to affect "whosoever will".
RUACH HA'KODESH: Roughly translated from the Hebrew - it's the "Turbulent Breath of God". According to the creation account, it was the breath of God that gave life to man in the beginning. According to the New Testament - it is the same breath that puts new life in the animal-skin that is 'fallen' man. And I would suggest, to anyone honestly seeking a convincing argument for the existence of God - to begin with a close encounter with people who extol the significance of the "baptism by the Holy-Spirit" (Turbulent Breath of God). "Baptism" is a term that means "an overwhelming change in nature". Traditionally (& quite a matter of common sense), - such groups also outwardly illustrate this invisible phenomena with a one-time ritual that involves total immersion in water "in the name of Jesus" (commonly called "a baptism"). My experience has shown me that groups that do not adhere to the significance of "Jesus Name" or complete immersion generally do not adhere to (for lack of understanding of) other Scriptural principles -- resulting in a diminishing return regarding genuine encounters with "God's Turbulent Breath" -- to the point that many "Churches" are nothing more than "psycho-babbling social clubs" that discuss so-called "Christian issues" while lacking the very manifestations that set Christianity (as recorded in the Scriptures) apart from all other world religions (& ironically - the Scriptures themselves warn of this very trend).
Disconnecting the rational & literary-basis, - from "religious principle" is a folly millennia old. God, who invented the mind does not intend for it to be switched off. Jesus himself was a vocal opponent of "vain traditions of men". "Belief-without-backing" groups are often "Hank-havens" & there are LOTS of them. And Hank's congregations are huge. They'll ask you to "accept by faith<sic>" the notions of everything from invisible golden plates to virgins waiting in the afterlife. The advantage of demanding evidence (even if a personal & intangible experience) in the NOW is that you get to examine it -- mull it over: Use your mind. Evaluate. I believe that God is 100% rational by His very nature. There is no confusion within Him. It's His ways that frustrate the minds of men -- (As we're unable to reason the how's of the end result from early-stage steps).
Having an experience with the Spirit of God - is to the individual who has the experience - usually the best form of evidence they could have asked for. Why? Rebuilding the psyche of a person in the blink of an eye is - to the individual experiencing the phenomena - more real than celestial fireworks & of great personal implications. And, there are many things that transpire in the conversation of those so affected - that call & confirm to those around them (often in words uniquely germane to the hearer but of no particular significance to the speaker). It is an amazing thing to encounter these phenomena in their proper, life-changing contexts.
Cross reference your experience/s with the Scripture & steer clear of the many "Hanks" that wish to exploit you for their own ends.

I have just bought a 1934 Austin 7, which is MoT and tax exempt. I am waiting for the registration document from the DVLA in my name. Do I have to do anything to claim either of these two benefits or are they applied automatically, please? Some owners apparently have a voluntary MoT for safety. Can any MoT garage do this form of MoT or do we need to use a specialist?
I have an Astra VXR with 19-inch wheels and 235/35/ZR19 tyres, which are a bit extreme and vulnerable to pothole damage. I am looking at a wheel/tyre package deal of 17-inch wheels with 225/45/17 tyres. The Astra owners manual has this option listed, but with the caveats of 'only permitted as winter tyres', and 'speedo re-calibration needed'. The VXR as standard comes with 18-inch wheels, with the 19-inch as an option. Would there be a problem fitting 225/45/17 wheels and tyres? The costs are far cheaper than 19-inch options, and I could sell the old wheels on eBay.
Depends on whether the 17-inch wheels will fit around the front brakes. Use this to compare the rolling circumference of the tyres: https://tiresize.com/comparison/ The 225/45 R17s will revolve 832 times a mile compared to the 235/35 R19s that will revolve 816 times a mile (so less than 2% difference and not worth worrying about).
I purchased a pre-registered 2014 XF Sportbrake 2.2 diesel from a Jaguar dealer in 2014. It came with a 3-year service and warranty package included and is a superb vehicle in every respect, riding comfortably on 18-inch wheels. It now has only 19,500 miles recorded. The warranty runs out on December 1st and Jaguar has quoted £934 with breakdown assist or £849 without assist for 12 months extended warranty cover. This includes 7-day car hire cover, which is not required. I understand 3rd party cover is about 50% of these costs, but with possibly more fine print exclusions. The only issue I have had to date is a chafed parking sensor wiring loom behind the front bumper which took 4 days to locate and fix for a £15 part. The labour cost must have been extortionate if I had to fund it. I understand that the emission control valves on these engines can fail after 20,000 miles and are expensive to repair. Do you have any knowledge of this? I realise I would be purchasing peace of mind extending the warranty but am concerned that the insurers would try to escape any claim in small print. I previously had 5 years extended warranty on a Honda Accord at £350 PA with one claim of £150. So the maths were not favourable in this case. What are your thoughts for the Jaguar?
My wife's £44,000 2017 VW Tiguan 190PS 4 Motion R-Line has a horrendous metallic grating noise emanating from the drivetrain that has been evident from new. After lengthy investigations lasting several weeks, both VW and the selling dealer have described the aforementioned 'noise' as a 'characteristic' and 'normal DSG operation noise'. However, they are refusing to declare why the noise is evident on some cars but not on others, and also which component the noise is emanating from. Something to hide? Seriously not VW, surely? I have during the past 8 years spent in excess of £250,000 on VAG products so you could guess that I am a loyal customer. Unfortunately and due to VW's reluctance to resolve my wife's concerns with her Tiguan, I have been left with no alternative but to appoint a independent DEKRA automotive engineer who, contrary to VW and the selling dealers opinion of the noise being 'normal operation' and a 'characteristic' has concluded there is a terminal drivetrain defect. I have test-driven 4 Tiguans for comparison purposes and out of 4, 3 exhibited varying degrees of noise, so there is no consistency, but apparently quite a few cars are affected. Some owners have contacted me from as far a field as Australia and Iceland. At this present time, my case files have been passed to the Financial Ombudsman due the condescending attitude of VW Financial Services and the selling dealer.
My wife's new Ford Fiesta 1.0T Ecoboost was delivered in June this year with a petrol filler flap that does not lock when the car is locked. The salesman said this is absolutely normal. Can this really be true? The handbook says it should lock.
That's how they are. It's actually very difficult to get past the anti-misfuelling Easyfuel filler neck without inserting the special funnel supplies with the car.
I currently drive 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year, mostly on the motorway, currently in a non-company BMW 3-Series Touring 118d. I'm looking to replace my car, ideally with another estate, but am worried about the taxes on diesel vehicles. I currently get about 50mpg. Unfortunately I do not have access to off-road parking at home, and therefore no electric charging point. What are your suggestions for a similar replacement?
I just bought a 2016 model Toyota Yaris 1.0. The strange thing is I fill the tank every time but it doesn't last. I'm stressed. Now I need some advice please?
Small tank. It should be doing about 50mpg, though less if it is only used in town and suburbs. Fill it up to the brim. Write the mileage on the fuel receipt and keep the receipt. Then, next time you fill it up to the brim, write the mileage on that receipt. Subtract mileage 1 from mileage 2 so you know how far you went on the fill. Then multiply the litres of fuel you put in by 0.22 to find out how many gallons. Divide the distance by the gallons and you will find out your Real MPG.
Jeep Grand Cherokee models seem to offer good value on the used market and I understand some are fitted with a Mercedes engine. With a maximum budget of £10k are there better alternatives please?
My 36,600 mile 2009 Citroen C4 has developed an oil leak. The garage says, "it's engine out" to replace a gearbox shaft seal. What else should I consider replacing before a re-build. I intend keeping the car a further 3 years.
You have no choice. They have to take the engine and transmission out to gain access to the shaft seal. If the engine and gearbox have to be separated then best to have a new clutch fitted at the same time (and a new DMF if it's a diesel) because most of the cost of these is the labour of removing the gearbox to fit them.
My 2011 Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-Cat Auto is due some new tyres. Currently it's on 235/55 R18 Bridgestone Dueller H/T 687s. I find them a bit noisy, and as I never go (or am unlikely to go) "off road" can you recommend something quieter?
Happily Michelin does Cross Climate SUVs in 235/55 R18 104 V XL. These are more compliant so improve ride and steering and are much quieter, in addition to their cold weather benefits.
I have driven down an 8-inch deep pothole and caused massive and expensive damage to my Morgan's suspension. Because the car is in regular use I have had it repaired. Have I jeopardised my chances of making a successful claim against my local authority by not getting an engineer's report on the damage prior to the repair?
No. All you need is a detailed invoice from the repairer. However, this does not mean you will win your case. it depends on whether the pothole had been previously reported and whether the council had been negligent by leaving it for weeks and not filling it in. Try fixmystreet.co.uk and potholes.co.uk in addition to the council's own pothole reporting website for that evidence.
I am about to buy a 2016 Audi A4 avant 2.0 TDI. They have some where the engine is called Ultra and some not. No one in the dealership could tell me the fundamental difference in performance.
Ultra does not denote the engine. It describes the trim spec. You can gat a 2.0TDI Ultra with either the 150PS or 190PS output EA288 2.0TDI engine.
I recently took my 11 year old Skoda Octavia to a garage (that (specialises in Skoda but is not a franchise) because the seat belt alarm was pinging almost non stop. They turned it off via the car's computer. Now the low fuel warning has stopped working, are these connected please?
No. It could be they disturbed something else, but you should not regularly drive a car on low fuel anyway or you run the risk of blocking the fuel filter with debris from the bottom of the tank.
I am on a tight budget and I need to scrap my old diesel MPV as it's costing me too much money to run it. It would be sad for it to go but I have no choice. It's been stated that by 2040 all petrol and diesel cars will be banned, plus some councils will have to start C.A.R zones. The message is very confusing. Not everyone will afford to buy an electric car. Is this just some silly politics? I understand the health issues of diesel cars. I am looking into scrapping my MPV and thinking of buying a Dacia Duster, which I can exchange in a scrappage deal. There are many garages who sell brand new Dacia Dusters. Should I barter with the price they are offering minus the scrappage deal? For example, if a Dacia Duster is costing about £9k minus the £2k for scrappage, should I ask for more discount? What price should I offer? Also, are there any Dacia models I should buy in the Diesel Duster (or petrol range)? I have been checking the reviews of Dacia Duster not very impressive.
From 2040 it is proposed that the sale of all NEW diesel and petrol engined cars will be banned. Not that existing diesel and petrol cars already on the road will have to be scrapped. And not that pre-2010 diesel can petrol cars cannot be bought and sold. But, according to their emissions ratings, they will face increasing restrictions on where they can be driven. Effectively, a scrappage deal is a generous part-exchange allowance for an old car that will not necessarily be scrapped afterwards. The dealer will get as much as he can for it. I don't think a Dacia dealer has any more money in his pot to give more than a £2,000 scrappage discount. Worth asking, of course. Just don't expect too much.
My Skoda Fabia Estate 1.6TDi 105 (not yet adjusted for NOx emissions) recently developed a fault which has been diagnosed as a problem with the EGR and I have been told by a Skoda franchise the replacement valve and work will cost almost a thousand quid. Separately, I have it on good authority from another dealer that this has been a recurrent problem and the part number has been updated/superseded 4 or 5 times and at one stage it was felt to almost warrant a recall. As the car was delivered new in Jan 2011 and my mileage has been relatively low (some 52,000 to date) the car is out of warranty and Skoda is saying that it is simply wear and tear. Have you been aware of problems with this (presumably VW) engine and its EGR?
EGRs have been a problem with VAG 1.6TDIs for a long time, years before the NOx emissions scandal broke and I have been constantly repeating that VAG should replace them FoC because the sheer number of failures suggests that the parts are fundamentally not up to the job. But had you put your car in for the NOx emissions update as requested and, had it not worked, the dealer would have been obliged to replace the EGR FoC. As it is, morally, he should replace the EGR. But he is not legally obliged to.
I am thinking of buying a 2003-2009 Jaguar XJ for sentimental reasons as a second car. I love the shape and think of it as the last Jaguar still retaining the influence of Sir William Lyons. I intend to keep it some time because I reckon in future it will be regarded as a modern classic, especially when we all drive electric or hybrid cars . Also, I thought to myself it should resist rust well, being made of aluminium. However I have been told they also used steel rivets in its construction and these rust. Furthermore if you get salty water on the metal the car could be prone to electrolysis. Have you heard of any problems of this kind, and if so any cures? Surely Jaguar would have been aware of these potential issues. Finally, having regard to all of the above, what model would you recommend? I am thinking of the pre-facelift 4.2.
My current car is a 2005/54 Rover 75 2.0 CDTi 131PS Connoisseur Tourer, which I have owned for all but the first three years of its life. Present mileage is a relatively meagre 71k and it has a full history from the word go. As a mid-octagenarian my thoughts lean to keeping the car until either one of us expires. In view of its likely status as a vintage vehicle and, conversely, the current thinking on diesel cars, what would be your thoughts on the situation - and what might be a suitable replacement? Routine journeys are relatively short (12-15m) with one or two much longer ones each year, when I carry our miniature railway equipment (locomotive and two wagons) to society gatherings.
Keep it and continue to enjoy it. When you come to sell, it will have some 'modern classic' status and may be worth more than it is now. The retro styling was based on Raymond Lowey's renderings for late 1940s Studebakers that Rover copied for the original 'Cyclops' 75.
Regarding my query about car insurance, do you get many complaints or comments about LV=?
For several years, LV= seemed to be the best (though it may have been 'buying business'). What has happened is that LV= has amalgamated with Allianz and is no longer the LV we knew and loved. Other readers have been switching from LV= to Direct Line (https://www.directline.com/car-cover#id=78436) and saving money (though, of course, Direct Line might now be 'buying business').
I 'loved' the comment from the snowflake MK about their Yaris - don't they know how to calculate something as simple as mpg? Don't they realise that when you buy a small car, you get a small fuel tank?
Its not as though HJ hasn't given this advice before, or that it can't be found on the interweb through the likes of a Google search.
I bet they havent even been filling the tank and instead, thinking it was full when the petrol pump at the supermarket 'switched off'! My wife's 65 reg Twingo is a great little car but if you try and fill the tank, the pump frequently switches off and you have to fill it s-l-o-w-l-y.

Looking to fuel even more great Scouting adventures? If so, be sure to start planning for the 2018 Scout Popcorn campaign which officially kicks-off on September 24th. Every year we strive to make sure that Groups and Scouting youth have the tools and information they need to reach their Scout Popcorn fundraising goals. Which is why for 2018, we've develop a toolkit for a successful campaign through PLAN, DO and REVIEW.
You will also find tools — from 'thank you postcards' to 'sorry I missed you door hangers' — to help you during the DO and REVIEW phase.
Like last year, our delicious product lineup will offer a minimum of 45% return to Groups and will have 5 products at or under $20 — like Trail Mix and White Cheddar popcorn.
We hope that you will like the new packaging design with the mission of developing well-rounded youth better prepared for success at the forefront. Each bag of Scout Popcorn showcases the incredible adventures Scouting youth experience every year and the skills they develop along the way.
Returning this year is the Scout Popcorn Adventure Club where all youth who raise $2,500 and over receive a ScoutShop gear box seasonally. 2017 saw 176 youth join the club and we look forward to enrolling even more Scouting youth in 2018.
NEW! The 2018 campaign will provide Groups with the ability to create their own, customizable incentive program. As Scouters, you know how to reward your Group best. So we will be supporting Groups to create their personalize incentive programs by offering a 20% discount to the Scout Shop in-store and online. Build your own Youth Recognition Program in three easy steps.
Ultimately it was feedback from Scouters, Parents and Youth that led to this new program. Thank you to everyone for your input. Creating an incentive program curated to your Group will allow you the flexibility to select prizes based on your Section/Groups upcoming adventures while also enabling you to reward youth best.
Want to know more? Follow this link to find a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Groups incentive program. Do you have questions around setting up your Groups incentive program? Reach out to your Council Popcorn Coordinator for more ideas.
Together with 1,031 Groups, over $6.5 million dollars was raised during the 2017 Scout Popcorn campaign. That amounts to nearly $4 million worth of great Scouting adventures for youth across the country. Scout Popcorn also helped support the No One Left Behind program allowing over 3,000 Canadian youth from low-income families to benefit from Scouting.
But Scout Popcorn is not only about funding great adventures, it helps us achieve our mission of developing well-rounded youth better prepared for success in the world. Through selling Scout Popcorn, Scouts learn many valuable life and business skills such as marketing, strategy development, financial responsibility, and develop positive self-esteem.
We hope that Scout Popcorn will help your Group experience all the incredible adventures you have planned for the 2018–2019 Scouting year!

Maggi's Review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, California Musical Theatre, Sacramento, August, 2016
(Eric and Lesli Marguerita)
Of all the shows I've seen Eric do in the last eight years, this may have been the most profoundly moving. And that's saying something, considering I've seen him star in Jesus Christ Superstar, Miss Saigon and Whistle Down the Wind, all very emotional pieces. The reason this experience was so very special was the vision and the courage of its director, Glenn Casale. He had the courage to cast the leading role of Quasimodo (Latin for "half-formed") with a deaf actor, John McGinty. Glenn's vision was to make us acutely feel his humanity.
He did so by giving Quasimodo a "shadow" (Jim Hogan) who brilliantly sang the heart-rending songs written by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, while John signed and acted the lyrics. Gargoyles came to life as Quasimodo's only friends, giving admonishment, encouragement and advice and turning to stone when someone else entered the scene. The only visitor had been his guardian, Dom Claude Frollo (Mark Jacoby) until his curiosity and awakening love for the beautiful and fiery gypsy, Esmeralda, played by Lesli Marguerita, gives him the courage to leave his bell tower prison for the first time, resulting in tragic circumstances.
(John McGinty and Lesli Marguerita)
Captain Phoebus de Martin (Eric Kunze) is the dashing soldier who also falls in love with Esmeralda and he is a reluctant partner with Quasimodo who insists on rescuing her from the wrath of Frollo. It was so much fun seeing Eric in this role, skillfully brandishing a sword and singing sweet love to Esmeralda in the duet, "In a Place of Miracles". Eric has a talent for instantly switching from humor, to bravado, to ardor and he wears his heart on his sleeve.
(John McGinty and Jim Hogan)
Unlike many other musicals, this is a group effort and every single cast member is instrumental, most wearing different hats throughout, such as the brilliant Keith Beardon as King Louis XI, as well as a monk, a gypsy, and who knows how many other parts as well. Each person is perfectly cast and they work together as a finely tuned machine, each important in their own way.
For me, the most brilliant touch was at the beginning and the end. (For those of you who haven't seen the show and are planning to see it in La Mirada, this is a SPOILER alert!) Glenn has John walk onto the stage as himself. He is a good looking man and it is hard to imagine him as the ugly monster Quasimodo is supposed to be. As he is helped into a makeshift vest which contains the hump and ties it around his waist, he bends down, musses his hair, assumes a bent posture and distorts one side of his face to complete the transformation. At the end of the show, the hump vest is removed and he is John again. The best part for me was at the end of the bows, to thunderous applause, when John opens his arms to Jim Hogan and they have a joyous embrace. It was truly a magical moment, one which I had the privilege to enjoy for five performances last week.
(Eric, Lesli and John)
(Maggi and Eric)
Sending my sincere thanks to the entire cast and crew for one of the most memorable theater experiences of my life. There have been many professional rave reviews online and in the media, which I shall be posting in the days to come.

Austin Award Winners Announced
Next up: Hunchback in Sacramento and LaMirada
Don't miss Eric as Captain Phoebus August 23-28 at Sacramento Music Circus, and September 15-October 9th at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts!
Written by Victor Hugo (Les Miserables) and published in 1831, the theme revolves around Hugo's love of the architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral and is one of the first novels to have beggars as protagonists. The name Quasimodo has become synonymous with "a courageous heart beneath a grotesque exterior." Combining Hugo's unparalleled storytelling talents with Mencken and Schwartz's music at the beautiful Music Circus venue (not to mention seeing Eric perform a role new and unique for him) will be an experience not to be missed. An interesting tidbit: the role of Quasimodo will be played by John McGinty, a Deaf actor, who is connected to Eric through their work on the musical in development, "Brindlebeast", written by Anita Riggio.
If you will be in Sacramento and want to meet up, please let me know. I will be there all week.
So excited!

Maggi's Review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Cal...
From BroadwayWorld Austin: "After a record numb...


In this article we will look first at what the Scriptures say about divorce and remarriage; then we will look at early Christian writings to see if what they believed matches what we read in the Scriptures.
As we study these writings, we will use the following procedure.
When we consult a passage of Scripture, we will consider the whole passage, not just selected sections of it.
We will read each sentence for exactly what it says, not reading in meanings that are not there, and not supposing the author really meant to say something different.
We will note any word or sentence that could reasonably be interpreted in more than one way.
Tagged Divorce, divorce and remarriage, Marriage, the bible and divorce.
Hello – my best friend is divorced for about 13 years now. Years ago before the Most High began teaching me HIS truth, in error I thought because she was the "innocent party" that there was an exception to all remarriage is adultery, and suggested that she should find a widower and not pursue a marital relationship with men who are also divorced. Ignorance is not bliss and my foolishness has caused so much confusion and chaos… She is currently involved with a man whose wife of 34 years recently passed, that in itself seems too odd for words. Nonetheless, I am concerned for the eternal welfare of my best friend, she says she is a believer but it seems that she does not have ears to hear or eyes to see… Not to mention that her home church pastor is a divorced man remarried with a former (wife of his youth) still living, and he thinks I the one who is in error here. Please if you could provide me with some scripturally sound reference in addition to this article, which is very thorough but quite long, I would appreciate that.
I am sure that the resounding opinion is that I should probably just mind my business and be happy for my friend – but I just can't… I am troubled in my spirit about all this and our friendship is suffering horribly also. Please help!
@Michelle. Thanks for sharing. Many churches today are caving in on this teaching. I like Eph 5:22 – 33 in this context. Marriage is to be a type of Christ and His bride, the church. Christ would never divorce his bride and look for another one. And when we do that, we break the type God intended marriage to be. Finally, marriage is not the ultimate goal for human beings. Serving God is. And we should be willing to give up marriage in order to obey God.
Thank you for replying… I spoke with my best friend and I am going to email this article to her. Please pray with me that she will have eyes to see and ears to hear. My only concern is how disregarding the truth may impact her eternal fate. I love her and I have been trying to keep quiet and "mind my own business", and I have prayed that the Most High will release me from this burden. However, no matter how I try to study other things and steer clear of this subject – it seems to pop back up.
Thank you again… Praying that you continue fearlessly in your pursuit to bring your readers to a better understanding of scripture.
And i don't know if I've really changed it.
If they leave you, the unbeliever…you're saying you can't remarry.
But wouldn't they probably go start another relationship??
@Fred: They may leave you. They may start another relationship. But that doesn't change the vows that you made.
If the wife was committing adultery and you tried to work it out but she still decided to leave.
Would there but a right to remarry then do you believe or should the husband not remarry?
@Fred, I think Ephesians 5:22 – 33 helps to understand some of these questions, even though it doesn't speak directly about divorce and remarriage. God uses marriage as a parallel of Christ and the Church. I believe that when a person turns their back on Christ, Jesus leaves the door open for them to return, even if they "marry" the world. You should do the same. Read the book of Hosea and meditate on the story of Gomer and the parallel that God drew there between Hosea's marriage and the children of Israel. I know that these are tough questions and hard answers. But I do know several people who have separated and remained single because their spouses were unfaithful. It is important to find a believer's fellowship and close Christian friends who will stand by you when the going gets tough (and it will). If you want help to find such people, or just someone to pray with you, feel free to call our toll-free number [855-367-8788]. Note that this only works in North America. If you can't use the number, leave a note here and I'll send you and email address.
Thank you for your quick response and your insight.
To be ok with remarriage at all the husband would have had to put away the wife for sexual immorality before she left to be able to remarry?
@Fred. Throughout church history, there have been various interpretations. Edersheim, a converted Jewish scholar, promoted the viewpoint that Jesus was speaking about a betrothal agreement when he gave the exception clause. According to that, there would be no way out for a married person. Other leaders, even conservative ones like Menno Simons, did leave room for a man to put away his wife because of adultery. These leaders tended to leave more room for a man to put away his wife than the other way around, even though men tend to be unfaithful more than women do. I feel that when we start opening doors for divorce and remarriage, we start down a slippery slope that has no end. Like I said in my last post, marriage is a figure of Christ and his bride, the church. Divorce and remarriage destroys this picture. I feel that we are better off to take the "no remarriage" position rather than take chances. I feel that for me to break my vows to my wife, even if she breaks her vows to me, would be wrong for me. That also is the position of most of the groups sponsoring this site and the church I am part of. I realize that this isn't what you were hoping to hear from me, probably. But I think it is the only safe position. Thanks again for your comments and questions, and God bless you in 2019.
I am currently separated from my husband due to his continued use of prostitutes. We attempted counseling, but he did not repent and he continued to seek out prostitutes. He says he wants to reconcile, yet does not provide me access to this email and text messages. Nor does he adequately financially provide for our children and for me, even the minimum Mount the state would require for child support. We are currently entangled I'm the legal process.
I want to be obedient to Christ, above all things. And I believe that God led me to as much information as I needed to leave in good conscience. I have no desire to remarry, or even to consider remarriage. Much of my church leadership encourages me to consider reconciliation, since God hates divorce. They do not condone his use of prostitutes, and they encourage him to repent. However, nothing in his provision or behavior leads me to believe there is true repentance.
I am continuing to search scripture for my answers, but I am left confused by my leadership as to how to move forward. What does Scripture teach about living in continual sin and whether I should initiate reconciliation under those circumstances?
Hi Tammy. Have you read this whole article? I think it answers some of your questions. I know its long and perhaps a bit tedious, but its worth reading all the way through (all seven pages!) For more discussion, call the toll free number at the beginning of this comments section.
My husband was killed. We have 2 small children. 7 and 8. A few weeks later after my husbands death, I'm with his older brother. We've fallen in love. He wants to marry me and raise his brothers children. He has left his wife, they neither have any children. He is divorcing her. Neither one of us understand this because before my husbands passing, his brother and I could not stand each other. Are we to question this? Is this Gods plan? Are we wrong to have fallen in love? I must say after 3 months we are still together. His wife and him were having problems way before my husbands death. She had an affair and he never forgot it. She "was" also my friend for years.
Do you think it is safer to go by your feelings than by God's word? The Bible is clear that someone who divorces their partner and marries another is committing adultery. I can see that your husband's death left you very vulnerable, but that still doesn't change what the Bible states about such a situation.
Are you sure that someone should value the lord above their own feelings? Because I feel that if this were true, then He would tell us who to love in the first place, and not wait until we've made a wrong decision to tell us what to do. I believe that we are living our own lives with god simply watching over us, not disapproving of our every action.
@Shannon, The problem too often is that we don't pay any attention when God tries to warn us of a wrong choice. And of course, there are situations where the other person makes bad choices after the fact.
i remarried before coming to this knowledge can i return to my first spouse with Gods approval or must i LEAVE?
Hi Kimberly. This is a tough question and better answered by your local church if you have one. Feel free to call our toll free number at 855.367.8788 for more discussion or reply here if you want to continue the discussion off line by e-mail.


Many bonjours and welcome to the first proper stop on our roadtrip through Cornwall. Not to get you so excited that you literally do not sleep until this series is complete (v unadvisable, particularly given my proclivity for disappearance), but this merry little sojourn is possibly the best thing Will and I have done in the 15+ months since he finally convinced me to date him. High key suspect it will stay that way until either 1. we embark upon another similar but longer trip where I get even more fab instagram material or 2. he finally relents and allows me to become the phenomenal Mommy Blogger I was born to be. Given that we are in no financial position to support an infant at present, and there is no point in taking another road trip until I've finished posting about this one, I figured it was probably time I filled you in on the Many Joys of Cornwall.
The planning for this trip took place over a series of spreadsheets. Love a spreadsheet. And never is it more important to budget one's time than on a R O A D T R I P. Destinations. Broken down by day. Adding columns for travel time. Factoring in activities. Adjusting accordingly. Delicately put, I was absolutely thriving. However, there was one vital aspect with which I requested the assistance of My Many Fans, and that was deciding which places to hit up. As per always, my main bae WilbyJP came through with the goods in the form of Tintagel, which he prefaced by querying as to whether or not I might be interested in the (absolute bloody) legend of King Arthur. Considering I have voluntarily suffered through multiple seasons of Merlin: The Very Shittest Wizard Ever, one can imagine that my answer was yes, and thus off to Tintagel we went.
The link between King Arthur and Tintagel is one that I do not a hundy percent understand, but apparently word on the 12th century street was that he was conceived in/around Tintagel Castle, and that's good enough for me. I understand on an intellectual level that King Arthur was not real, but this is a fact I choose to ignore. In any case, as you will soon see, Tintagel Castle and the surrounding landscape is suitably mythical-looking, and there are plenty of watery caves for one's various sorcery concocting needs, so authenticity aside the vibe is certainly right.
After a slow start to the day and our brief stop off in Lacock, we put the pedal to the metal (slash comfortably upholstered floor of the brand new rental car) and drove the last few hours to Cornwall in one straight shot. This meant that although we knew we would end up arriving too late in the day to visit the ticketed areas of the castle, we still had plenty of daylight to work with. We pulled into The Avalon (suitably Arthurian name) some time around 6pm, and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for somewhere in the area. It's at the end of the main stretch of shops and restaurants so within easy walking distance of anywhere you'd want to go, the room comes with a fab array of free little treats (including hot chocolate, which is always a winner when one is travelling with Will), they have a restaurant on site and the view from the back of the property is insane. Best of all, if you're in town for the mythical side of things, it's an easy downhill walk from The Avalon to Tintagel Castle.
Keen for a solid stretch of the ol' legs (and discovering there was no car-friendly route, but let's pretend the more wholesome choice was immediate) we checked into our room and immediately set off on the adventure of a lifetime. Not really, as I mentioned we arrived too late to go into the actual cool bit, but it was still pretty sick regardless. Walking a few metres from our hotel, we followed a quaint wooden sign and turned right, down a steep dusty lane. When I say steep, I mean I was walking down it lamenting the fact that there would inevitably come a time that I would have to essentially rock climb my way back up but, like the warrior I am, I decided to ignore that brewing trauma and continue my valiant downhill trot. After a few minutes of traipsing through various shrubberies and promising myself I would find an alternate route back to the hotel if it was the last thing I did, we reached a fork in the road with another olde timey wooden sign in the middle (it was actually not even old, I just assume everything in the country/made of wood is some sort of relic #sueme), and made the decision to head uphill to the coastal path.
Happily this proved to be a fantastic decision. Although the castle-bearing island itself was closed, there was a significant smattering of ruins still available for our perusal and photographic needs. Thank. Goodness. Most importantly, as I reached the outermost edge of said ruins and looked over the side I was met by a clear view of the waves below crashing on some rocks in an exceptionally aesthetically pleasing manner, and I felt at peace. I have some sort of subconscious dependence on the ocean that results in my gradual loss of sanity whenever I go for too long without a solid gaze at the sea, and it's not until that magical time finally comes that all my aquatic angst dissipates. If you'll recall early last year I frolicked off to Northern Ireland to avoid having a work-induced meltdown, and ended up driving to the most northern tip of Ireland to stare moodily at the Atlantic Ocean as my soul lifted up out of my body, shook itself free of accumulated strife and popped back in, refreshed. This was not quite on that level, but definitely possessing a similarly rejuvenating and promisingly instagrammable quality.
What you see in the image above is the stairway leading to the island where the actual castle and, more importantly, a very badass statue reside. I did briefly descend these picturesque stairs, in equal measure for the potential pics and to get in my #cardio for the day, but the border for the ticketed portion of the attraction kicks in at the bottom so I jogged right back up again. Really quickly and gracefully and without any exasperated shouting or the need to stop and audibly pant at the top. It was a bit annoying that we couldn't see the door everyone on tumblr has photos of, especially considering the extent to which it is 100% my aesthetic, but the true extent of my loss was yet to be revealed.
Aside from the castle, one of the main Arthurian attractions in Tintagel is a statue. This particular statue, which you can & I suggest you do google image, is one of the most baller statues I have ever seen (or not actually seen, as 'twould transpire), and TRUST me I am QUITE the connoisseur. Following little to no research I had imagined that it would just be perched, easily visible, on the edge of an otherwise barren cliff very close to the hotel, on account of when I look at a place on google maps I forget to factor in terrain or scale or any buildings/roads/structures whatsoever. Turns out it is on the edge of a cliff, but that cliff is on the island that we could not access, and so I had to view it from afar by zooming in super close on my camera as it stood there, out of reach, mocking me. I know. My life is but a series of crushing tragedies and it is a phenomenal triumph that I manage to persevere at all. If you must write a ballad about my struggles, make sure there is a key change.
Having seen all there was to see of the immediate set of ruins, we headed uphill again, much to my eternal delight. A personal highlight of this journey was the part where we ascended a set of very ye olde looking steps, which were just slabs of rock shoved into a bigger slab of rock. Very safe. Very rustic. I'm aware I'm making this all seem very underwhelming and inconvenient but it was actually an incredibly enjoyable and wholesome way to spend an evening. Reaching our final altitude as the sun was setting, I was able to enjoy a lovely display of nature's glorious wonder whilst I died a quiet, exhausted death from the series of gentle slopes up which I had nobly shuffled.
Speaking of the inescapable mortality which silently hangs over each and every one of us from birth til eventual demise, atop this final cliff was a small stone church, with a very picturesque graveyard. Picturesque graveyards seemed to be quite the running theme in Cornwall, with the appearance of another seaside cemetery just outside St. Ives. Truly prime real estate. I could say 'a view to die for' but I won't because that's probs insensitive. This graveyard had an oddly serene quality to it, and we spent a little while wandering around the area as the sun set. By 'wandering' I actually mean stomping, because there was a sign warning of potential adders in the grass, and I am not trying to get bit no sir.
Having had our fill of wandering for the evening and feeling rawther ready to eat, we set our sights on The Avalon in the distance and started walking. I was particularly hopeful that we might find an alternative route to the vertical climb of a hill we'd descended on our outward journey, and I was not disappointed. There was a slight incline, but nothing quite as meltdown-inducing as expected, and we found our way back to the hotel before they closed the kitchen. I very much enjoyed my pasta, which was punctuated by ample chortles re: the fact that the boy waiting on us (who I'm pretty sure was the son of the owner) was essentially a living, breathing version of the teenage love interest straight out of a novelised version I would have written of my own life, circa 2008. Messy haired shy blonde surfer boy in a sleepy holiday town waiting for a sharp-witted city brunette to draw him out of his shell, albeit inexplicably wearing a mismatched plaid shirt and shorts combo. Luvz it. Will said I would have been obsessed with him if I were 5+ years younger and he was not wrong.
The next morning we arose, feeling surprisingly spritely for such an early hour considering we'd stayed up to watch the critically acclaimed cinematic triumph that is Bridget Jones's Baby (which is coincidentally also on TV as I type this), with the promise of free coffee and breakfast with a view at the forefront of our agendas. We'd filled in our breakfast orders the night before, so we sat in the dining room and admired (took IG story photos of) the ridiculously idyllic table-window-view combo whilst we waited for it all to be cooked nextdoor. Eventually, after taking full advantage of caffeine refills, mapping out our first few routes of the day and loading up on as much all-inclusive food as my breakfast-averse constitution could take, we checked out of our room and hopped back in the car for our first full day in Cornwall.
Because we were only there overnight we didn't do much exploring in the actual town, and I do really want to get the full castle experience, so perhaps there will be a return journey somewhere in our future. Need to see me some cavey goodness and get that sweet, sweet pic of the door, for the betterment of mankind. Also there was a phenomenally high number of witch shops for such a tiny town, and witch shops are my favourite kind of shops after stationery and Australian Nando's, so I believe it will call me back one day. There is also a famous witch museum in a vaguely nearby town, which Will forbade me from incorporating into our itinerary this time, so next time I just won't ask. As it was, we still had a baller time frolicking on the accessible cliffs, and it was a suitably oceanside start to what would end up being a majestic weekend.

South African Environment Groups Demand an End to Shell Exploration
Jon Rawlinson/Wikipedia

Deutsche Welle (Bonn)
Protesters are calling for Shell to stop prospecting in a pristine stretch of coastline. The company is expected to use seismic blasting, which locals fear would cripple local fishing communities and marine life.
Royal Dutch Shell's plans to explore for oil along a stretch of pristine coastline raised the ire of local activists on Sunday as hundreds gathered on beaches around South Africa, calling for the oil giant to stop prospecting.
Demonstrators are worried about the effect seismic blasting -- a prospecting method based on emitting powerful sound waves -- will have in a 6,000 square kilometer (2316 square mile) area.
On Friday, environmentalists lost a legal challenge to prevent the company from conducting seismic surveys.
What is seismic blasting?
The process involves blasting the seafloor with highly powered airguns at intervals, and then measuring the echoes, which helps map out oil and gas reserves.
The process can continue for weeks or months at a time. The sound of the blasts can travel for hundreds of kilometers.
Ecologists believe the exploration technique could upset the behavior of marine animals including their feeding, reproduction and migration patterns, especially animals like whales who depend on their sense of hearing.
Why are people protesting?
There are fears the prospecting activity will have a devastating impact on marine life.
The area Shell is planning to explore is known as the Wild Coast along the country's eastern coastline. It's a popular tourist area and environmental groups regard it as an ecologically sensitive marine sanctuary.
Top Headlines Environment Petroleum South Africa
"It's just absolutely horrendous that they are even considering this. Look around you!" said demonstrator Kas Wilson. "It's unacceptable and... we will stop it," he said.
"Seismic blasting on the Wild Coast will not only destroy precious ecosystems but will also impact local communities, all in the name of profit," Greenpeace Africa said in a tweet.
Local fishermen believe the prospecting will have an impact on their livelihoods. "I don't want them to operate here because if they do we won't be able to catch fish," said fisherwoman Toloza Mzobe.
Shell says discoveries will be good for South Africa
However, Shell has said that its exploration had received regulatory approval and that its activity would contribute significantly to South Africa's energy sector if resources were discovered.
The oil company plans to spend four to five months exploring in the region. Speaking to AFP in November, a company spokesman said: "We take great care to prevent or minimize impacts on fish, marine mammals and other wildlife."
But environmentalist contend that there will be no chance of meeting net zero carbon emissions targets by 2050 if prospecting for new reserves is allowed to continue.

PE firms begin slow drip out of Dunkin'
BYDan Primack
November 1, 2011, 11:14 PM UTC
For Dunkin's private equity owners, it's time to make some profits.
When Dunkin' Brands went public in July, it was a bit of a misnomer. Yes, average coffee drinkers could buy stock in the company to which they pledged their fidelity each morning. But the company was still controlled by three private equity firms — Bain Capital, Carlyle Group and THL Partners — that had acquired Dunkin' in 2006 for $2.43 billion. They only sold 3.3 million shares via the IPO, leaving them with nearly a 75% stake.
Today, however, the PE firms indicated an interest in loosening their grip a bit. In a regulatory filing, they laid out plans to sell around one-quarter of their position, which would bring their aggregate stake down to just 57%. Still majority-ownership, but clearly a bit first step toward minority status.
Dunkin' shares are off around 6% today on the news (plus a fall in quarterly profits), despite reporting better-than-expected earnings. But even at a reduced share price, this is looking like a giant win for the PE firms.
As of 3:43pm today, Dunkin' shares were trading at $27.22 a piece. At that price, the PE firms' offering would generate just under $600 million. This is on top of the $63 million earned via the IPO, a $500 million dividend recap the firms reaped last year and a remaining stake valued at $1.86 billion. So that's a total of just over $3 billion billion, or 22% more than what the firms paid for Dunkin' in 2006 (a deal criticized in some quarters for being too generous).
But it's important to remember that private equity firms themselves don't actually pay the full purchase price of an acquisition. Most of it is actually debt that gets paid back by the company. In the case of Dunkin, the PE firms only put in around $1 billion.
So their paper return right now is nearly 3x cash-on-cash, with a hold time of around five years. And, again, that's based on a share price nearly 6% lower than where Dunkin' opened trading today.
When I interviewed Dunkin' CEO Nigel Travis earlier this fall, I asked if the PE firms had articulated a plan for how they planned to walk away. He said:
There is not a concrete plan that I can articulate to you today. My very strong hope is that they stay in for some time because they've contributed significantly to building this business and can continue to do so.
It appears the PE firms will continue to own Dunkin' for the near future, but they clearly are beginning to plan their exit strategy.

Convocation Ceremony of AIIMS held
Delhi/NCR Education
By NDT Bureau January 12, 2021 January 12, 2021
On January 11, the convocation ceremony of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi was held. The 47th convocation ceremony for the year 2018 and 2019 was presided by Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare. Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare was also present. Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO SEARO was the Chief Guest for the event.
No institution ever attains greatness accidentally even if it has the potential and must always endeavour to attain it," Harsh Vardhan said.
Formulating a new vision for AIIMS by looking at the undaunting spirit of its founder, he said, "RajkumariAmritKaur reached out to foreign countries and international development partners to make up for the shortage in fund allocation in her quest to provide world class medical education to common Indians." He continued "By 1961 itself, AIIMS had attained global repute. We have much to learn from RajkumariAmritKaur's spirit of innovation and courage to envision bold new ventures. That also remains the DNA of AIIMS."
Dr. Harsh Vardhan thereafter congratulated the AIIMS Community for being ranked as number one among medical institutions by National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) by the Ministry of education for the third consecutive year.
He stated, "I am honored and humbled to serve as President of this venerable institution which has showcased exemplary levels of dedication to enhance and elevate the quality of living of citizens from across the country. AIIMS thrived and survived through numerous challenges. Character is indispensable in any great educational undertaking and that is reflected in the long history of the institution."
"Next 5 years present an opportunity for the Indian healthcare sector to take on a global leadership role. Today, at the 47th Convocation of AIIMS, Delhi, I emphasized the pivotal role this venerable institution can and must play in this journey", Harshvardhan tweeted later.

New Merged Server Name Poll Results!
Discussion in 'News and Announcements' started by Windstalker, Sep 15, 2015.
Another note on the server moves… We are going back to the "merge" methodology for this effort. Changing the entire way our data works for this process was very risky and we didn't want to rush it and test it on your characters. That said, we didn't want to wait on taking care of our server populations. The teams are reviewing all the areas we need to update the merge process. Still, all the questions and concerns we addressed in our FAQ are still in the plan. Also, after the U.S. merges, we will run a free one-week transfer period that will include free transfers for Antonia Bayle players to other U.S. servers.
More to come when we have it. We are looking at October, but before the expansion release.
Edit: I had the servers listed wrong. All good now!

Wait...Nagafen and Freeport both had the option to vote for Skyfire. How'd EF, Guk and Unrest get it?
I did mix it up...too much typing...no looking. Fixed it. Thanks folks!

Curious, are the 3 merges all going to happen at once, or one at a time? I would think one at a time would be easier if there are any snafu's, otherwise you are going to have over half your player base screaming if anything goes wrong!

So we can't xfer to EU servers?
Seriously disappointed that Godking or Anashti Sul weren't options for the vote. Most of the options were horrible. Maj'Dul was the least sucky name. Scornfeather would have been ok if it was just Scornfeather without the Roost tacked on.

Please for goodness sake make it just FATE. We need a one word name.
After all, the other top 9 names were not even given as choices.

You didn't want to rush with testing the new technology out on our characters? You've been doing all of this mapping and technology upgrades for this very reason for how long already?
The shortest server names were chosen. Coincidence? I think not!

So wait you are going to do it in October........... right before xpac comes out when the servers are already so they are going to be so loaded afterwards that they are possibly going to crash? How much of a stress test is there going to be before xpac to try and prevent it? Just curious?


The pool area is the ultimate spot for relaxation, entertainment, and fitness at home. Here are three perfect reasons having a pool is a must in designing a relaxation space that also works as a venue for outdoor gatherings and as a fitness area in your home.
Enjoy the convenience of an outdoor spa.
The pool area can double as a private spa. Book a home spa service and have the girls over for a relaxing treatment right in the comfort and privacy of your home. This is also the perfect escape for you after coming home from a long day at work or enjoying some couple time with your spouse.
Pool builders like dolphin-pools.com can create and customize your pool so that it fits your outdoor needs. They also specialize in automatic pool cleaning equipment, so you don't have to worry about after-party pool water clean-ups.
Have the perfect entertainment area.
Who doesn't love water games? A swimming competition, treasure hunt, and ball games—these are games kids and adults alike can enjoy. The pool area is just the right place to host a party and is the ultimate entertainment area that's just right outside your home. You can have dinner or backyard barbeque parties in the summer, and a place where the kids can run around and play all day, without going through the trouble of packing weekend bags and leaving home.
You have the most accessible fitness center.
Swimming is a good form of exercise and an excellent way to stay fit. If you have a small pool or a plunge pool, you can install jets that produce a constant current in the water that allows you to swim in place. It creates a continuous current that is strong enough to let you do some stationary swimming, pool running, and other lower body exercises for core and leg days.
A pool at home is the ultimate relaxation spot with the perfect ambience, an entertainment area that is perfectly designed to fit your outdoor party needs, and a fitness center that is easily accessible, so you don't miss on working out.
