The inaugural principal has been appointed to lead Burnside Primary School in Melbourne's booming western suburbs.
Member for Kororoit Marlene Kairouz today announced David Lombardi as the new principal of the new $19.4 million school.
Mr Lombardi has vital experience as a school leader, joining the new school from Footscray North Primary School where he was principal for 3 years and assistant principal for 6 years before that.
The new school is set to open at the start of 2019, catering for 475 Prep to Year 6 students and boasting state of the art physical education and performing arts facilities.
A 'Meet the Principal' event will be held in Term 3 and the time and location will shortly be advertised to local families.
Over the next six months, Mr Lombardi will work with the local community, students and parents to build a school for the area that embodies excellence and opportunity for learners.
To establish the school with strong foundations, Mr Lombardi will appoint talented and committed staff and build relationships with families and the community.
He will also work closely with the architects and builders to provide the right environment for students to thrive in.
The project is part of a $3.8 billion investment by the Andrews Labor Government to improve classrooms, upgrade facilities and build new schools.
This school building boom has delivered more than 1,300 school upgrades and 70 new school projects across the state, supporting almost 5000 construction jobs for Victorians.

« She Will Collect Her Karma Debt!
I was a little girl when I first learned of Billy Graham and actually saw him in person. My (older than me but not by much) uncle grabbed me by the hand and took me down to the "altar". We professed our faith, or he did. I didn't know what to think of all of it. Today I look back and I am sad that I didn't realize the huge privilege that had been given to me. I do now.
As I got older, my grandmother would have the TV turned to Billy Graham. I would sit with her but I did not know what was happening on TV. Those times, those moments with my grandma, a time in eternity, I look back and I am sad that I didn't realize the huge privilege that had been given to me. I do now.
My grandma is gone. I can still hear her voice. I see her face in my dreams. As I do now, with my father. He ,too, is gone. Sometimes in my dreams, I can hear him say "Connie"only the way he could. Today though, I look back and I am sad that I didn't realize the huge privilege they had in my life. I do now.
Life before addiction. I wished I could remember. I wish I could do my Life over again, with my children, before the drugs stole (or weren't removing from my memory) the precious things, the important things. I wished I had listened to my dad. "Connie, be careful…" I thought that will never happen to me. I was a cowboy thinking I could play with fire, one more… Today though, I look back and I am sad that I didn't realize the huge privilege that had been given to me before drugs. I do now.
Christ rescued me. I am sober today only because of Him. Prayers. Prayers face down. I was at my bottom and Jesus rescued me. He parted the Red Sea. Today, I look back and I am happy that I did realize the huge privilege that had been given to me. I did then, I do now.
Christ loved me then, He does now.

today we're talking about a type of pockets very common in adult clothing: the front hip pocket. the name says it all, these are flat pockets on the front of a garment.
and the hippie baby pants I made mr. thatcher.
these always look tricky, but if you have a well drafted pattern with good instructions they are a snap. i've found that edge stitching the pocket facing is really essential.
personally i like to an accent fabric on the facing and use a contrasting thread. like i did below for the sunday brunch skirts.
speaking if that fabric and skirts, I've made front hip pockets for myself more than once via the everyday skirt.

Q: Write a Function to apply a specific % change to certain rows Basically I have a dataframe:
# initialize list of lists
data = [['tom', 10], ['nick', 15], ['juli', 14]]

# Create the pandas DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['Name', 'Amount'])

and I want to write a function that will apply a percentage change to certain rows based on the values I give it:
def function(x, pct):

    if df['Name'] == x:
        df['Amount'] = df['Amount'] - (df['Amount'] * pct), df['Amount']
    else:
        df['Amount'] = df['Amount']

    return df

I know that I need to reference the data frame somewhere in the function but I'm struggling to figure out how to do it.

A: Use boolean indexing:
names = 'tom'
pct = 0.2

df.loc[df['Name'].eq(name), 'Amount'] *= (1-pct)

with a list:
names = ['tom']
pct = 0.2

df.loc[df['Name'].isin(names), 'Amount'] *= (1-pct)

output:
   Name  Amount
0   tom       8
1  nick      15
2  juli      14

A: def function(dataframe, name, pct_change):
    dataframe = dataframe.copy()
    dataframe.loc[dataframe.Name==name, "Amount"]*=(1-pct_change)
    return dataframe

#function call example
function(df, "nick", .5)

#function call output
#
#   Name  Amount
#0   tom    10.0
#1  nick     7.5
#2  juli    14.0

Note that the the function does not modify inplace df, but only return a modified copy of it. To replace the older dataframe with the new one:
df = function(df, "nick", .5)

A: You need to use apply across the series along columns axis like below:
def  function(s, x, pct):

    if s['Name'] == x:
        s['Amount'] = s['Amount'] - (s['Amount'] * pct), s['Amount']
    else:
        s['Amount'] = s['Amount']

    return s

and then use it for example 'tom' and 0.1
df.apply(lambda s: function(s, 'tom', 0.1), axis=1)

output of this is:
   Name     Amount
0   tom  (9.0, 10)
1  nick         15
2  juli         14

Note : you can do better than this, if you can define some sort of datastructure like dict and then using it in apply.

A: Several ways how to accomplish this. Based on your own attempt:
def f(x, name, pct):
    if x['Name'] == name:
        return x['Amount']*(1-pct)
    return x['Amount']

df['Amount'] = df.apply(lambda x: f(x, 'tom', 0.25), axis=1)
df

   Name  Amount
0   tom     7.5
1  nick    15.0
2  juli    14.0

Or using np.where like so:
import numpy as np
pct = 0.25

df['Amount'] = np.where(df['Name'] == 'tom', (1-pct)*df['Amount'], df['Amount'])

Yet another option:
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['Name', 'Amount'])
df.loc[df['Name'] == 'tom', 'Amount'] = df.loc[df['Name'] == 'tom', 'Amount']*(1-pct)

Will all get you the same output.

The Associated Press — Apr 11th, 2002
Leno and Letterman compete to book Florida teenage movie critic
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A teenage movie reviewer sparked something of a booking brouhaha between late night rivals Jay Leno and David Letterman.
Producers of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" were thinking of inviting eighth-grader Billy Norris on their show when he was quickly snapped up by Letterman, who planned to put the teen on his CBS telecast Wednesday night.
"I was completely blown away by it all," Billy told the St. Petersburg Times on Tuesday. "I don't think it will all sink in until after I go on."
Billy, 14, a movie reviewer for the Times' youth-oriented features section Xpress, had first attracted the attention of producers at Leno's NBC show.
Leno's team had seen Norris' work on the newspaper's Web site and last week asked for a videotape of the reviews he occasionally makes on a local TV station.
Gretchen Letterman, the Times' Lifestyles editor and sister of Leno's chief rival, was soon chatting with her brother when she mentioned Billy might be appearing on the Leno show.
So while the "Tonight Show" waited for videotapes, "The Late Show With David Letterman" pounced.
"It was not me at all," Gretchen Letterman said Tuesday. "It was all Billy's talent that got him noticed in the first place."
Is the Leno team still interested? "We never comment on a booking or an inquiry," an NBC spokeswoman said.

In September 2018 the National Toxicology Program in the United States (scientists studying disease), completed a study on exposure of rats to radio-frequency radiation (also called microwave radiation) of 2G and 3G cell phones. Their findings echoed that of the Ramazzini Institute. The studies showed clear evidence of tumours in the hearts of rats, and some evidence of brain tumours associated with exposure to these phones.
It is time to heed the warnings of scientists, even though our fedreal government's lack of protection is woefully inadequate just as it was with the dangers from cigarette smoking. Pay attention and let your local MP know of your concerns.

The Office of Director of National Intelligence has opened a newly-renovated campus designed to facilitate collaboration in the intelligence community.
ODNI said Wednesday the facility in Bethesda, Maryland will house up to 3,000 employees from the Defense Intelligence Agency, National Intelligence University and ODNI's National Counterintelligence and Security Center.
"This facility is – in so many ways – the physical manifestation of 'intelligence integration,'" James Clapper, director of national intelligence, said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday.
ODNI installed photovoltaic solar panels, daylight sensors, LED lighting systems and groundwater heat pumps at the campus in an effort to reduce energy consumption.

The Famous Elsewhere Questionnaire
ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE a film by JIM JARMUSCH (Madman DVD)
Graham Reid | Sep 15, 2014 | 4 min read
The appeal of vampire movies is well established.
It's about sex . . . and if you doubt that you haven't seen enough of the breast-heaving Hammer horror films of the Sixties.
Oh, and of course they are about death. Or eternal life, if you will.
And every generation of teenagers gets its own hip style of vampire movie.
The appeal for teens is enhanced if you are an unfeasibly handsome or drop-dead gorgeous vampire, which explains the following for True Blood.
That television programme – at least in the first series which was full of potential and subtexts – also factored in another theme which was played predominantly: The vampire as The Outsider and what is known in academic circles as "The Other".
In its first series True Blood seemed to be as much about race and marginalisation of minority groups as it was about blood sucking. That it played out in the South made that subtext even more overt.
The appeal of vampire flicks to otherwise intelligent adults is slightly harder to discern, but in his recent film Only Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch – who wrote and directed – has made a vampire movie for adults where the fangs are only rarely revealed and necks go – with a couple of notable exceptions – unscarred.
Only Lovers Left Alive – nothing to do with the 1964 novel of the same name or the proposed film based on ii which the Rolling Stones were going to have as a film vehicle in '66 – is a vampire movie for and about adults.
Out now on DVD (through Madman on DVD and Blu-ray, see here *), previously nominated for the Palme D'Or in Cannes last year (winning a soundtrack award), Only Lovers Left Alive plays an adult love story quite straight and that is when it is at its best.
But Jarmusch can't resist dropping very heavy-handed references to make his audience smile with recognition.
Or laugh aloud at the director's gall.
Famous people in photos are on walls (Oh look, it's Bill Burroughs and a young Iggy Pop), there are the spine-titles of books on shelves, and record covers scattered around (Wow, he's into the Dirtbombs too, and on vinyl!) . . . they litter many scene like Hansel's breadcrumbs.
These are all whisper trails and often dead-ends (can't believe I just wrote that) to follow into characters, some of them deiberately underdeveloped.
And that is the film-mnakers art too.
The protagonists are vampire lovers Adam and Eve (yes, Jarmusch makes it that obvious) and as the film opens she (Tilda Swinton) is living in Tangiers and he (Tom Hiddleston) is in blighted Detroit, a city abandoned and crumbling.
It is a city of the dead and of ghosts of the past, the city that gave the world Motown, Bob Seger, Iggy and the Stooges, and more recently the White Stripes.
Here Adam lives in a crumbling mansion as a musician recluse, surrounded by old recording technology (tape decks, turntables) and classic guitars which he collects.
He is a Kurt Cobain who despises fame and his audience, and living like Mick Jagger in Performance. It is timeless and dark in this Gothic abode where the heavy curtains are permanently drawn. His home seems modeled on a Sixties decadence and taste for North African exotic. It could be Keith Richards' Redlands in '69.
But of course Adam is also an ancient, a man who gave music to Schubert (Just the adagio") and who saw Eddie Cochran play a particular kind of guitar ("On You Tube," he quickly corrects himself when his visitor expresses surprise).
But at core this is a love story, and a story of dependency: he on her, both on the blood they purchase and which gives them a heroin-like euphoria.
In truth, not a lot happens in this world. They are actually emotionally fragile creatures although their love gives them strength, but time has allowed them to see the decay, debauchery and damage of the 21st century through wise eyes.
He is desperately lonely and depressed, she comes over from Tangiers, they consummate the love that has fed them for centuries, her wild-child younger sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska) visits and – typical teenager – she misbehaves (if draining the blood from a visitor is mischievous) and they kick her out. Then they have to leave and go back – flying by night all the way – to Tangiers and the company of an old friend Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt, above) who gets to make bad jokes about writing Shakespeare's plays and so on.)
But if that storyline seems thin the strength of the film lies in the characters and the context Jarmusch gives them. The relationship of co-dependents is deftly underplayed and becomes more apparent as the story plays out, damaged Detroit – an emblem of global decay – is a character in itself when they drive around the empty streets at night (past Jack White's old house, "He was his mother's seventh son") and the beautiful old Michigan Theatre now a tragic ruin.
But global warming will take care of all this: "When the cities in the South have burned, this city will bloom".
Punctuated by great old Fifties music, Adam's own dark soundtrack (by Jozef van Wissem) and with a guest appearance by the wonderful Yasmine Hamdan in Tangiers (which serves no dramatic purpose but she is exceptional), Only Lovers Left Alive might just be the slowest, least blood-letting vampire film ever.
Teenagers probably won't get it because there are no breasts heaving and, despite Adam's moody rock-god looks, these people are just, like, old.
But for a mature audience it really is a slowly unfolding delight.
Dark of course, but that comes with the territory of the undead.
Who here sometimes wish they weren't.
* Extras on the DVD are a behind the scenes documentary Travelling at Night with Jim Jarmusch, and interviews with Swinton, Hiddleston and Wasikowska

Peccadilloes
Before you shoot, consider the ricochet. Before you moralize, consider the peccadillo. Certainly the peccadillo is an unphilosophical idea. There is no logic in the sin that does not make a sinner, the crime that does not make a criminal. Yet the peccadillo is left over whenever sins or crimes are counted. Its inevitability implies a resilience to human behavior that is almost material. In measuring wood for the cut you must figure in the kerf of the saw – how much material the cut itself will remove. Likewise in philosophical division you must expect the measured boundaries of immorality to fall outside the marks that guide the division. In woodwork this can be compensated; in philosophy it cannot be. The name for one who calls harmless things harmful to prevent harmful things from being thought tolerable – the name is hypocrite. In this way law is superior to morality. Law, being justified from without, can blend the boundaries of the legal and the illegal to the greater security of the law, make jaywalking a crime, allow its subjects just enough breaking of minor laws that they obey the important laws without feeling punctilious or servile.
But morality must self-stand. Thus both in society and in the individual, the fervor of moral commitment trends over time into immorality, step by step as the excision of hypocrisy cuts a new brink of the immoral, which frays into new peccadilloes, which invent new hypocrisy, which being purged cuts a new brink of the immoral – and so on, until at last the philosopher sits, like the overreaching workman, ashamed among scraps – scraps cut down over and over in adjusting the fit until no material remains for any fit at all.
What seems to most people to be a general economic and cultural crisis often seems to me no more or less than the rigors of the end of New York's economic and cultural sway.
Consider hedge funds. The crisis has raised a populist anger against hedge funds in general. But hedge funds were not the cause; they did not need to be bailed out. They rode out the shock and recovered on their own. The institutions that had to be bailed out were the titans of New York, which tried to play hedge fund and broke the economy. Strategies that work for the decentralized and lightly staffed institutions that hedge funds are – these strategies were poison to the titans of New York.
Let me repeat: New York saw a set of brilliant strategies for making money; New York tried to adopt these strategies; but New York could not keep up. (High-frequency trading seems to be going in the same direction.)
The reason these titans were permitted to exist was to compete with the comparable titans of other countries. Surely if everyone else is doing it, we are only being realistic when we do it too – whatever the abstract dangers?
American modesty is that foolish. Ours is a very powerful country; and powerful countries must expect to be imitated, for no other reason than that they are powerful. When Great Britain was ascendant the world broke out in parliaments and the businessmen of the tropics sweated in black wool.
We have our New York, so other countries want New Yorks of their own – and they get them, new New Yorks more New York than New York. (What are Canary Wharf and La Défense but the cargo cults of the Atlantic?) Count one remove from reality. Then, of course, we scale up the real New York to match. Count two removes from reality. (This is the level of the junk-bond era, I think.) The rest of the world scales up their New Yorks to keep up with the American example. The world's tallest skyscraper keeps turning up somewhere in East Asia. Count three removes from reality. So the real New York scales up yet again, mortgages the country and securitizes its mortgages. Count four removes from reality. This isn't economics; this is pataphysics.
Worse, it is a game that New York cannot win. New York had to get that way; it is burdened with history – with the awareness that things could have been otherwise. The new New Yorks can take New York as a revelation, build it dogmatically. Hong Kong will always be a better New York than New York can ever be.
All finance is capital allocation – discerning where money obtains its best return and transferring it there from other, less profitable uses. Once, for this to be done at a national scale, it was necessary that all the financiers of the nation be in one place, have all their seats on one exchange, so all the nation could come to them. Because New York was where information could be had, New York was where decisions had to be made.
But this no longer true – a Bloomberg terminal in New York knows nothing that a Bloomberg terminal in Shanghai does not know. Indeed the opposite is the case; New York impedes capitalism. By being the center of both finance and the economy it simply removes many industries from rational analysis. Look at publishing or music, for example. Suppose you are an investor with a thesis about the future of books or music. What instrument allows you to express it? There is no such instrument, because publishing and music as businesses have been absorbed into New York conglomerates (even if headquartered elsewhere, possible only in a world that includes New York) – conglomerates whose bottom lines would not tremble if tomorrow some rapid plague killed off every author and musician on the planet.
There are, of course, the indies – indie labels, small presses – but even if they were publicly traded – even if there were some exchange where they could afford to be listed, with regulations they could afford to comply with – still they are individually too small to absorb enough capital to make a return meaningful to an investor.
The cavernous empty middle between conglomerate and indie is New York's path – New York sweeps it clean the way Jupiter's gravity clears out the asteroid belt.
For culture I think the case is stronger and more straightforward than it is for finance. In almost anything written about the crisis the words publishing, journalism, music, art, can be qualified with "New York" without loss of meaning – with gain in clarity.
I admit that this perspective explains nothing new. My intention is Copernican, not Newtonian. I do not attempt to resolve mysteries, only to provide a more parsimonious formulation of the mechanism behind certain appearances known to everyone. To the naked eye, the sky would look the same if the earth were the center of the universe. The crisis would look the same if were were universal or had New York at its center. I find the latter formulation more plausible and more interesting. If the crisis is general, then there is nothing to do but ride it out, suspend our minds and abilities, wait for some vision to reveal what comes next. But if the crisis is New York's, then there is work for all in imagining and effecting a great devolution.
There is a poem I would like to write
About the airplane lights between the stars:
Unheard on cloudless nights, they do not fall
Now red, now green, and still they do not fall.
Somewhere a poet at thirty thousand feet
Looks down in thought. He sees the night earth black
He sees the city lights, they tint the sky
He stretches out, the engines soothe his bones
He settles in, he summons all his craft
And presses one last drop of grainy oil
From something dry and rancid lodged in him.
I, earthbound, see him passing like a god
And measure poems I may never write.
Why be famous? Subtract sleeping, eating, working – how much time remains for being famous? Of course fame has benefits, comforts, luxuries, considerations – but all these are available, in degrees equal or better, to people who are not famous. A star may not be better off than a dentist; most, not so well.
Why be famous? To have your name, your face known? But no one is present in a picture. Heroes do not feel people wanting to be them; sex symbols do not feel people wanting them. And as for names – though his name is taken a billion times a day, what good does fame do the Earl of Sandwich? People recognize you, but what do they recognize you as? Not as a person; the recognition that fame supplies is less than being personally known. It is the kind of recognition that people give to types and roles – that a proper name is used does not make the recognition different than the patronizing recognition given to one who matches an ethnic stereotype.
Why be famous? What is gained when the switch flips in the brain between "I am not famous" and "I am famous"? Is it self-respect? But you do not respect people because they are famous; why should fame give you respect for yourself?
Why be famous? Is it attention? That is a little stronger: attention is enough like a commodity that famous people can lend it out on their own credit. But that only when they are not too famous: the movement that recruits too prominent a spokesperson only adds a cause to fame, not fame to a cause.
Not all fame is permanent; people who have been briefly famous seem to value the experience, but not wish to repeat it. (Though whether as a drug too addictive to return to, or an ordeal that leaves them with nothing to prove, I do not know.) Sometimes a person with transient fame can be observed having found a worthy cause to spend it on. This seems healthy and sane.
All people who are famous and sane seem to have certain qualities in common: a sort of fatalism, a sociable sense of irony, and taking their fame as a windfall, not a right. But most people who are famous are not sane; and though it would be tempting to argue that fame only attracts the insane – as it likely does – I do think fame drives people insane.
But I am begging the question. If fame is so insubstantial, so inconsequential, what traction does it have to drive anyone anywhere? If there is no good answer to "Why be famous?" there cannot be a good answer to "Why not be famous?"
Contrast fame and glory. Glory must be earned with great difficulty; glory is impersonal – has never invited presumptuous familiarity, instead discouraged it; and glory is enduring – is sought as the one thing in life that lasts forever. Altogether glory seems a finer and more human thing than fame. Yet the love of glory – so we are warned by the records of the times when it was in fashion – the love of glory was itself madness. If so straight a thing as glory is confounds us, how much more so must crooked fame?
The real question is not "why be famous" or "why not be famous" but another: Why give fame?
Fame begins with a humane feeling – with the recognition that there are no rewards reserved for extraordinary merit. For the invention of calculus and the discovery of gravity, Newton was made Warden of the Mint; but what did his predecessor do? His successor? There is no prize or position in the world where merit has not been mixed with legacy, celebrity, and safe choice. There is no recognition which the world can bestow on the worthiest which has not sometimes been bestowed on the unworthy.
So when we are moved to admire something extraordinary, we search for something within our power to bestow, something that cannot be bought; and we find only our attention. This is well meant. Attention is the kindest thing we can give. But what is kind from one person may be cruel from many.


Summer Infant have recently introduced two new lightweight and convenient strollers to the UK: the UME One and the UME Lite. These strollers are already proving popular in the US where they have had great reviews and received awards! I decided to try out the Summer Infant UME One stroller and picked the gorgeous teal Boho Patchwork print, perfect for my one-year old.
The UME One is an affordable lightweight stroller and it weighs just 6.5kg. It boasts a large canopy hood which has extra zip-out panels, a multi-position seat recline which you can do with one hand, a padded five-point harness, and a one-handed compact fold.
It also comes with extra features like a rain cover, a cup holder, adjustable footrest, a decent-sized shopping basket and a colour-coordinated carry strap. The hood has a storage pocket and a small window that you can peep through to check on your child whilst pushing.
The stroller is suitable from birth until 15kg, which means that my three-year old is just about still able to go in it, if he wanted. And at just £129 it's fairly purse-friendly!
The Summer Infant UME One stroller arrived with minimal assemble needed. The front wheels, hood and cup holder all clicked into place easily and then we were ready to go. To unfold the stroller, there is a small clip on the side to release the frame and allow it to be pulled open.
I needed to use two hands to unfold it completely, but folding back down is easy with one hand thanks to the small lever near the handles. Simply lift the lever and push the stroller down so it collapses into itself in a long, thin shape. The stroller fits nicely into the boot of my car (which yes, does need a good clean!) leaving plenty of room for shopping. Speaking of shopping, the basket beneath the stroller is a good size and I can fit plenty in it.
I've always been put off from buying a lightweight stroller as they've never looked or felt as sturdy as my pushchair. And while the Summer Infant UME One isn't as sturdy as my pushchair, it is really solid for such a lightweight stroller. Its small, hard wheels have handled concrete paths and grassy areas with ease. Going over uneven ground is a bit of a bumpy ride for J so I try to avoid them or go slow if he has fallen asleep! When we come to a stop the brake is easy to activate using the foot pedal on either side.
The seat of the UME One stroller has wide ridges that are slightly padded to provide a comfortable ride. The footrest is easily adjustable by simply lifting it up and then pressing on each side and pushing it back down. The seat can be fully reclined and raised with one hand, which is handy if J has decided that it's naptime.
My boys are both toddlers now but if I had a new baby I would use this stroller from about 6 months on. Although the seat does fully recline, the stroller is world-facing and the seat is not as comfortable as a carrycot or a seat unit on a pushchair. For a young baby I would prefer to have them parent-facing and in something that cocoons them.
The raincover is brilliant as it simply hooks over the stroller. The last thing you want is to be struggling to fit the cover when it is pouring down, something that happened to me when I first got my original pushchair! The hood is another fantastic feature as it extends right down providing plenty of cover and shelter. Perfect for a sleeping tot, and it will also be great for providing shade during the summer months.
The Summer Infant UME One stroller is a great all round stroller, perfect when you need something lightweight and convenient to use. It will be ideal for taking on holiday with us later this year. The extra features like the cup holder and the large hood have been well thought out, and it's a gorgeous design with the gunmetal grey frame and the touches of teal on the fabric.
You can find the new Summer Infant UME One and UME Lite strollers on Amazon as well as other major retailers such as Littlewoods, Kiddicare, Tesco and Asda.
Did you change from a pushchair to a lightweight stroller when your child was older?
This looks great. We are at the stage where I think a decent stroller would do tell job. I like the little extra features on his too. Thanks for sharing!
What a great little stroller. I love the design. So different from the normal strollers you see. We have the city mini gt pushchair which I love but we used our stroller the other day as we were going into London. It was fantastic. I'd forgotten how light and convenient they were. Now I'm thinking a new stroller is what I need.
Now my daughter is coming up to the age of two we are very much about the strollers when it comes to day-to-day use. This one is a lovely design and looks like it does the job just perfectly.
Great review, it sounds fab for wheeling our little babes around in. We're considering a new one, that fits neatly into our boot just like this one!
This Summer Infant Baby Monitor for the most part is given a 4-5 Star rating from most client audits due to the numerous awesome child and parent well disposed components and the considerable notoriety of Summer Infant for making quality items. You can read a point by point audit of this Summer Infant Color Video Monitor by tapping on the connections toward the end of this article furthermore discover where you can purchase it at rebate costs!
Some baby strollers come with parent organization trays, toy bars, snack and drink holders, rain hoods and more. Many of these accessories are available separately, so don't let the lack of a drink holder sway you away from a stroller you otherwise love.
The best place to get detailed reviews of the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor is on the Internet. Baby stroller reviews sites have already done all of the research for you. You can also find out where you can buy it at the best prices!
Exactly what a cool stroller! I know some young mommas that will benefit from this post. Passing along!
Strollers are among the more common and important accessories for parents. Whenever a couple has a child they will need a way of transporting their children from place to place. The acquisition of a stroller helps them get the necessary resource to provide transportation for their child.
UME One stroller is really lightweight. It is reasonably priced too. My sister used this for her babies and it is very reliable and the quality is good.
I read your post very attentively. Personally i like Summer Infant stroller which has nice canopy and comfortable seat. This stroller's wheel is very strong and long lasting. when my baby came in the world i bought this stroller for my baby.
This looks extraordinary, I truly cherish the shade of it as it's very insignificant yet at the same time has a touch of shading! Awesome post.
Now my son is coming up to the age of 3. we are very much about the strollers when it comes to day-to-day use.
This one is a amazing design and looks like petty it does the job just perfectly.


After one night in the hotel Rixos Libertas in Dubrovnik my husband and I go on board in the afternoon. We are welcomed very warmly and after short formalities we have a look at our cabin. It is small in comparison to a cabin on a modern cruise ship, but all one needs is present, even a fridge that is filled with water every day.
The cabins are almost all the same, but some have, like our one a double bed and other 2 separate beds. Some have potholes, others, on the upper decks have normal windows and might be a bit more spacious. As advised, we did not carry normal suitcases, but packed big sports bags. This limits the luggage we carry already quite a bit and so our stuff fits in the small cabinets and drawers and the bag well under the bed. Others are less happy … There is no dress code on board, so we do not need so much choice.
Before the security drill, which is of course also mandatory here, we still have enough time to get to know a part of our maximum 47 fellow passengers. People come from the entire world, so the on-board language is English. As it turns out, we are only 36 passengers, so we get to know each other quickly.
In the lounge, we meet our captain and the other crew members. All are smiling all over the face and I really feel welcome. The MS Panorama sails under the Greek flag, so many of the staff come from Greece.
Part of the lounge is also the restaurant, there is no seating order, we can sit where we like. This way, we get to know nearly everybody. I wonder how the two chefs are able to prepare so many meals in such a small kitchen. Three times per day we get nice meals. Both of them got a lot to do. Breakfast and lunch are buffets, dinner mostly a four-course menu, sometimes a buffet. Coffee, tea, water, fruit and biscuits are always available free of charge, all other drinks are available for a fee.
During our one-week tour the captain sets sails only once, otherwise we go along by motor, after all, the electrical devices have to work and inside the boat everyone is happy about the functioning air conditioning.
WLAN is available for a fee, but as on most ships quite slow and expensive. During the day we are mostly in a harbor and there internet connection is no problem at all.
A small library, a few company games and the daily video film in the evening are quite the only entertainment program, different excursions are bookable daily. So everyone should be able to entertain oneself, otherwise it could be boring.
I am glad that I finally have enough time to read my books bought some time ago. Depending on my mood, I prefer to sit back in one of the outdoor seating areas or on one of the sun loungers. There is always room enough, as the bar on the upper deck is also comfortably furnished.
Again and again, we stop at more or less secluded coves and beaches to swim either from the ship or get tendered to the beach. Snorkel equipment and fins are on board, beach towels are also available.
All in all, it is an extremely relaxing week with interesting people, new impressions on shore and lots of sunshine. Nevertheless, everyone should know that the MS Panorama is not a small sailing boat, but the ship movement is still always noticeable. However, I even enjoyed the stronger wind while and others were not so fortunate. Before booking such a trip (preferably with me 😉 of course), everyone should ask themselves how "sea save" he or she is. Seasickness can be quite annoying.
Did you feel like it? More photos or information are available not only on Facebook and on my Instagram or Pinterest site, but also personally here. I am looking forward to your comments or especially about your "likes"!


The Ornua's Purchase Price Index is 105 for February, down from 111.3 in January, reflecting lower returns for butter, skimmed milk powder and spot product. The GDT Index fell marginally by -0.6% on 6th March. The EEX SMP Index (14/03/18) is at €1297/tonne, a record low. The EEX Butter Index at €4858/tonne is performing well. Milk spot prices in the Netherlands (11/03/18) stood at €28.3/100 kg. The overhang of SMP stocks on the market continues to have a destabilising impact.
EU milk collections in 2017 increased by 1.8%. Milk output flat-lined in Germany (-0.1%), France (+0.3%) and the Netherlands (-0.2%). More significant increases were noted in the UK (4.1%), Ireland (9.2%) and Poland (4.6%). However, output in France has grown by 3%-5% over the past 4 months and German collections have increased by 4%-6% in recent months.
In 2017, EU milk utilisation resulted in increased cheese output (+2%), WMP (+2.8%) and cream (1%). Butter decreased marginally by (-0.4%) and SMP by (-2.6%).
EU exports of dairy products performed well in 2017, with SMP exports +36% year on year (although at low prices). Key markets for SMP were Algeria, China and Indonesia. The EU increased its butter exports to the US by +39% year on year and EU cheese exports to Japan increased by +20% year on year.
In 2017, Chinese dairy imports increased across the basket of products with the exception of casein. Chinese dairy imports were strong in January (WMP +28% year on year), a period in which New Zealand enjoys preferential access to the Chinese market.

Tiree, the most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides group off the west coast of mainland Scotland, is small and flat, about 20km long and 2-12km wide, and completely treeless.There is evidence of Stone Age and Iron Age settlements, and Celtic and Viking occupations. Viking influence lasted until the mid 1200s, and many Norse place names still survive on the island. After the defeat of the Vikings, the island again came under the control of Gaelic-speaking peoples, at first the MacDougalls, then the MacDonald Lords of the Isles, and then the MacLeans. There were conflicts between the MacLeans and the mainland Campbells, and in the 1600s the MacLean estates in Tiree and Mull were taken over by Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll. Tiree has remained under the ownership of the Campbells, Dukes of Argyll, since that time. The Gaelic language has survived in Tiree, as have the Gaelic traditions of song, poetry and storytelling. Over 40% of present-day islanders are fluent speakers of Gaelic and it is taught to children as a second language in the island's schools.
The island's population peaked at about 5,000 in the 1800s and today is about 700. The early islanders survived by farming and fishing, but at little more than subsistence level. For centuries Tiree had been a grain producing island, but from the 1700s onwards the islanders began to rely more on potatoes than on cereal meal as a staple food. With the outbreak of potato blight in the late 1840s, which devastated crops in Scotland as well as Ireland, the people of Tiree experienced a number of years of severe famine.
Even before the famine years of 1846-1854 Tiree had become seriously overpopulated. The population had increased from 1,500 in 1750 to almost 5,000 in 1840, by which time many island people were living in severe poverty. The 8th Duke of Argyll, when he succeeded to the estate in 1847, wrote that Tiree had "a vast semi-pauper population". He became an enthusiastic advocate of assisted emigration to relieve the situation. From 1847 to 1853, 1,354 Tiree people were assisted to emigrate, principally to Canada, and an unknown number of others left for the mainland. It was claimed that this was "a purely voluntary emigration", but there is evidence that the poorest people were targeted by persuasion or coercion. Summonses of removal were issued against 174 tenants on the island and others were "warned" of removal. Between 1847 and 1861, the number of small tenancies, those paying an annual rent of less than £5, declined from 242 to 52. The Duke's Tiree estate manager, or factor, was Colonel John Campbell, known on the island as the 'Big Factor' or the 'Black Factor'. He was energetic in implementing the Duke's policy of raising rents, evicting those in arrears, and arranging assisted passages to overseas countries. The houses of evicted families were burned, and islanders caught giving shelter to these people risked being evicted themselves. You can find the ruins of their houses, now just piles of stones overgrown with grass, in the fields around the present-day townships.
Today the population of Tiree is about 700, but there is a much larger community, estimated at about 38,000, scattered around the world, mainly in Canada, Australia or New Zealand, who are descendants of Tiree emigrants. Our ancestors may have been coerced to emigrate; in their new homelands they may have been called 'primitive' because they spoke Gaelic as their first language and were not proficient in written English; but they and their children were the builders of new nations.
