Hydrotherapy is the use of water for the treatment of a number of conditions. It differs from swimming due to the special exercises performed, underwater jets and the warm water used. Hydrotherapy has been proven to aid recovery from trauma or surgery resulting in shorter recovery times and often reduces the need for painkilling medication. Hydrotherapy also improves your dog's cardiovascular fitness and can even help your pet lose weight.
We are proud to offer this highly valued and popular addition to the wide range of services offered to our Goddard Veterinary Group clients and neighbouring veterinary practices.
Our Chingford Hydrotherapy Centre is situated next to our Chingford veterinary practice, therefore, has the unique benefit of a Veterinary Surgeon on site and is situated within easy reach of the M25, M11 and North Circular Road.
We are fully accredited members of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association and our hydrotherapy centre is regularly inspected to ensure that we continue to meet the high standards that our patients deserve.
Why do we recommend Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy has been clinically proven to benefit dogs suffering from a variety of medical and non-medical conditions to aid rehabilitation. The non-weight bearing exercise of damaged or repairing limbs and supporting tissue helps speed recovery. Muscle wastage can occur very quickly if a painful limb is not being used properly. This can hinder recovery after surgery as the limb has to repair itself as well as correct muscle, tendon, ligament and soft tissue immobility.
Pre and post-operative conditioning which can reduce muscle wastage and accelerate recovery after surgery.
Relief of pain, swelling and stiffness. The warmth of the water helps to reduce any swelling within the joints caused by surgery or arthritis.
Swimming provides an increased range of motion and often reduces the need for painkilling medication.
Prevention of hip dysplasia – with regular gentle exercise young dogs can exercise safely and have fun without the risk of damage to the hips.
An increase in general fitness and athletic performance.
Weight loss in conjunction with a healthy diet.
Would my dog benefit from hydrotherapy?
As well as all the medical benefits of hydrotherapy, your dog may simply enjoy a warm swim indoors. It's ideal for fun and general fitness as well as developing agility in working and racing dogs alike. It is also a perfect solution for clients who find it increasingly difficult to exercise their dogs.
At your initial visit, your dog will be assessed by one of our hydrotherapists to assess their capability and allow a tailored plan to be created to suit your pet's needs before their swim commences. We ask that you allow up to one hour for your initial visit, however, follow-up swims are shorter and should last approximately 30 minutes.
Our hydrotherapist will remain in the pool and your dog will be fitted with a buoyancy aid before entering the water which is heated to 29 degrees Celsius. Hydrotherapy is both physically and mentally demanding initially for your dog so the first few swims may only last a few minutes but these will gradually increase in length as their stamina increases, just like us commencing a new exercise regime!
Owners often become involved with the sessions as they are able to walk around the circumference of our five meters (16 foot) diameter pool offering lots of encouragement and playing with their dogs whilst they swim. Many owners even comment how much fitter they become from all the running around the outside of the pool.
When your dog is adequately fit, underwater jets will be introduced to provide additional resistance in the water, varying the effort required to swim.
After the swim, we will shower and dry your dog before documenting their weight, heart rate and muscle mass measurements in order to assess and monitor their progress.
Our aim is to ensure your pet's experience is enjoyable and to allow a trusting bond to develop. This will enable your dog to benefit from the best exercise regime possible and see their treatment as a positive and fun experience.
We never tire of seeing our regular swimmers greet us wagging their tails before their swims knowing we are making a positive difference to their well-being.
Monica initially joined our Enfield Goddard Veterinary Group practice in 2008 as a nursing assistant and worked there for three and a half years, achieving her Animal Nursing Assistant (ANA) qualification in 2010. Monica also holds a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management and qualified as a Hydrotherapist in 2009. She now solely works at our Chingford Hydrotherapy Centre and has many regular swimmers benefitting from their hydrotherapy treatment.
Kimberley joined the Group in 2008 as a kennel assistant at our Boarding Kennels and Cattery. She became head of the boarding cat facility in 2010 and was later promoted to Kennel Senior position. Kimberly took an interest in the hydrotherapy service and commenced training. She gained her level 3 qualification in 2014. Kimberly splits her working hours between the hydrotherapy centre and our boarding kennels and cattery so you are sure to see her familiar face when you visit us.

The Single Responsibility Principle is the first principle mentioned in the famous SOLID methodology that we should try and follow whenever we build software. Building software in a SOLID way allows us to keep our code flexible, maintainable and most importantly of all – testable!
Simple, right? So why do we constantly see (or code ourselves), code that looks like the example below?
The class above violates a lot more than just the Single Responsibility Principle but let's work with it and refactor to a SOLID class design.
Our database interface gets altered by the Database architects to use a different method for getting the data we need.
Our Api architects need to add a method for returning the data in JSON format.
Our website designers want to switch the HTML to be returned using tables instead of divs.
Our accounting department want the CSV table columns altered or a new one added.
As you can see, we already have 4 reasons for this class to change and there are probably more hiding away in there! In addition, this also violates the Open/Closed Principle as if we want to add a new formatting option (such as JSON) then we have to open up this class again and alter it.
So, I hear you ask, what do we do? Well, let's refactor again. First of all, let's remove the dependency on a database at all.
We are going to use something called the Strategy pattern which will enable us to keep our base AccountingReport class SOLID. The Strategy pattern allows us to change the algorithms used by an object at runtime and to switch them in and out at will. To do this, we will create and pass in a Strategy object upon class instantiation.
That's it! Our whole class is now reduced to just a constructor, a setFormatter() method to set our formatter at runtime and a getFormattedData() method that returns the data formatted just as we wanted in our initial class setup.
This class now meets our SOLID requirements as we now have no reason to open this class up again, it only really has one reason to change and still meets the Dependency Inversion Princple as all dependencies are now injected.
The good news is that all our formatter classes also follow the SOLID principles, if the web designer wants us to change the Html format we simply need to edit the HtmlFormatter class (and nothing else), similarly for the accountant who wants the CSV data changed slightly we only need to edit the CsvFormatter class.
If we want to create a json format class then we only need to create a new Strategy formatting object and inject it.

Moses v. Mitchell, et al. (Lawyers Weekly No. 09-040-17)
1 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS PLYMOUTH, ss. SUPERIOR COURT CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-0823 MOONIE MOSES1 vs. LISA MITCHELL, REBECCA DONAHUE, JOHN P. FREITAS, CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON, ANDREW DEVALLES, AND BRIAN SCHWENK MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER ON CROSS-MOTIONS FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS Plaintiff Moonie Moses, an inmate at Old Colony Correctional Center ("OCCC"), brings this case in the nature of certiorari under G.L. c. 249, §4, against Lisa Mitchell, Rebecca Donahue, John P. Freitas, Christopher Anderson, Andrew DeValles, and Brian Schwenk ("Defendants"), officials and employees of OCCC, alleging violations of Department of Correction regulations governing discipline he received as the result of a disciplinary report (or D-Report). Before the Court is Moses' motion for judgment on the pleadings. The Defendants oppose and cross-move for judgment on the pleadings. After hearing, and in consideration of the parties' memoranda of law and oral arguments, the Court ALLOWS Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings and DENIES Defendants' motion. FACTS In D-Report 345786, Correctional Officer John Freitas alleged that on August 24, 2015, Moses insulted and threatened him. Specifically, Freitas alleged that Moses "called this officer 'a piece of shit and then continued to say if you were in my neighborhood in Dorchester I wish 1 The case file, identifying plaintiff as "Moses Moonie," reverses Mr. Moses' first and last names. 2 you would take a bullet to the head.'" Moses was charged with four offenses – threatening another with bodily harm, in violation of Disciplinary Code Section 3-04; use of obscene, abusive or insolent language or gesture, in violation of Disciplinary Code Section 3-26; conduct which disrupts the normal operation of the facility of unit, in violation of Disciplinary Code Section 3-27; and violation of any departmental rule or regulation, in violation of Disciplinary Code Section 4-11. Although the D-Report reads as if Moses' alleged statement was made directly to Freitas, it is undisputed that it was not. Instead, whatever statement Moses made was heard by Correctional Officer Oana T. Farese, who reported it to Freitas. Indeed, the record of the disciplinary hearing reflects Freitas' statement that "[s]he [Farese] told me she heard the statements. I don't recall when she told me. … I asked Moses did he say it. He said it was misinterpreted. I'm going to go with what the CO tells me." Freitas' statement makes clear that Moses' position was that what he said had been misunderstood, which is his position before this Court. Farese's testimony, which Freitas credited, was thus critical in deciding whether any offense had occurred and any discipline was appropriate. Moses thus requested, pursuant to the regulations that governed the proceeding, that Farese be produced as a witness at the disciplinary hearing, proffering that she could […]

An application for leave to file an interlocutory appeal was allowed by Spina, J. in the Supreme Judicial Court for the county of Suffolk. David B. Mark, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth. Richard B. Klibaner for the defendant. GANTS, J. Under the Massachusetts electronic surveillance statute, G. L. c. 272, § 99 F, the Commonwealth is required to obtain a warrant before it may conduct an "interception," which is defined as the secret recording or transmitting of the contents of any wire or oral communication without the consent of all parties to the communication. G. L. c. 272, § 99 B 4. However, under the "one-party consent exception," set forth in § 99 B 4, "it shall not constitute an interception for an investigative or law enforcement officer . . . to record or transmit a wire or oral communication if the officer is a party to such communication or has been given prior authorization to record or transmit the communication by such a party and if recorded or transmitted in the course of an investigation of a designated offense as defined [under § 99 B 7]." The primary issue presented on appeal is the scope of the one-party consent exception, that is, whether a telephone call recorded by the police between the defendant and a cooperating witness is an "interception" requiring a warrant under § 99 F, where the cooperating witness, despite being instructed by a law enforcement officer to elicit information regarding a "designated offense," instead elicits information only about a subsequent unrelated crime that is not a "designated offense." A Superior Court judge concluded that the recording was not made "in the course of an investigation of a designated offense," and therefore allowed the defendant's motion to suppress the recording, because the cooperating witness did not attempt to discuss the "designated offense" during the recorded telephone call. We reverse the allowance of […]

Speed world record in the year 1903
High speed railcar Zossen reaches more than 200 kilometers per hour
In 1899, Siemens & Halske and its competitor AEG were each awarded an order to equip a high-speed railcar. The first test series began in October 1903. On a 23-kilometer stretch of test track between Berlin-Marienfelde and Zossen, speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour were reached for the first time in the history of rail travel. The railcar's single-phase alternating-current system was a milestone in the design of high-performance traction motors.
Trailblazer on the European continent – the subway in Budapest (four-axle subway car), 1896
"A railway without steam or horses" – The future belongs to the electric locomotive
At the end of 1866, Werner von Siemens discovered a novel way of using the dynamoelectric principle with high efficiency. Only a few years later, this insight served as the foundation for developing a new drive technology for transporting people and freight: the electric motor.
In 1879, Siemens & Halske unveiled the world's first electric locomotive at the Berlin Trade Fair. In 1881, the world's first electric tramway went into operation in Groß-Lichterfelde, while the first electric subway on the European continent made its debut in Budapest in 1896.
The electric locomotives quickly superseded the steam-driven "iron horses" that had previously been considered a symbol of technological progress. The "railway without steam or horses" was unheard of and revolutionized rail travel in Europe. Horse-drawn streetcar carriages were equipped with electric motors, and electric locomotives were increasingly used in mining and industry as well.
However, the voltage of the overhead contact line for the direct-current system that was commonly used at the time was too low for long-distance travel – which required standard-gauge railways for passenger and freight transport. The direct-current system's maximum voltage of 600 volts was not sufficient to transmit the power needed to drive fast, heavy trains across long distances.
Renowned and revered as "The Siemens engineer" – Walter Reichel in front of the three-phase high-speed railcar, 1903
Alternating current instead of direct current – "More, faster, further"
As early as the 1890s, the engineers at Siemens & Halske – above all, Walter Reichel, who developed a special bow collector – looked to the alternating current system to increase the speed and transport capacity of electric railways. The use of single- and multi-phase alternating current made it possible to select a relatively high voltage for the contact line. Transformers in the locomotive then converted the voltage to the level required for the traction motors. Railcars with high-voltage three-phase alternating current were tested on the premises of the Charlottenburg plant and at the company's test track in Groß-Lichterfelde.
In 1899, these tests gave rise to the establishment of the Research Association for High-Speed Electric Railways (Studiengesellschaft für elektrische Schnellbahnen, or StES), whose members included Siemens & Halske and its competitor AEG as well as several German banks and mechanical engineering companies. To test the operation of fast electric railways, the association commissioned each of the competing electrical engineering companies to equip a high-speed railcar.
Both vehicles were ready for operation in the fall of 1901. The high-speed railcar from Siemens & Halske looked like a conventional high-speed carriage and was aerodynamically shaped in the front. Nearly 24 meters long, it weighed 89 tons and had wooden seats for 48 persons in the passenger compartment between the two driver's cabs. The carriage rested on two three-axle bogies, for each of which power was supplied via three bow connectors.
The contractors and their product – representative of the Research Association for High-Speed Electric Railways in front of Siemens' railcar, 1903
Test runs at world-record speed – The Zossen high-speed railcar reaches 210 kilometers per hour
The first test runs were conducted on a section of track on the Royal Military Railway that was specially equipped with a three-phase overhead line. In early October 1903, on the 23-kilometer stretch of test track between Berlin-Marienfelde and Zossen, the Siemens railcar reached speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour for the first time in the history of rail travel. The AEG railcar equipped with Siemens bow collectors ultimately set a world record of 210 kilometers per hour that was to last for 50 years. These test-runs impressively demonstrated that high-voltage alternating current was suitable for the high speeds that were envisioned for long-distance travel.
The single-phase alternating current system prevails – Real-life operation can begin
Nevertheless, because the alternating-current technology was not yet mature, the successfully tested rail electrification system did not go into real-life operation. There were two major arguments against using the system in everyday rail operation: multiple poles were required to support the overhead lines, leading to complications at the track switches and intersections, and the ability to regulate the rotational speed of the electric motors was limited.
As a result, the single-phase alternating-current system gained acceptance. In 1912, a cross-border agreement was reached, establishing a 15-kilovolt, 16.7-hertz rail electrification system that is still used in Central Europe today. A single-pole overhead line supplied power for the system. The use of single-phase alternating current made it possible to transform the voltage for the low-loss control of rotational speed, while the low frequency allowed for the construction of powerful traction engines early on – thus enabling the entire system to be flexibly adapted to the relevant route requirements.

I lived in Japan for two years (1971-1972) and returned there many many times over the years on business. The Japanese people are amazing. Since the morning I learned of the quakes and tsunami, I have been in touch with close Japanese friends via FaceBook and Twitter – glimpses of quiet, stoic courage.
A friend forwarded this letter to me this morning from a lady who lives there, but is apparently not Japanese by birth. Her reflections on life in the aftermath describe what is happening there more fully, simply beautiful. Despite deprivations, this letter recounts people living even more richly than before – on a different level. It's amazing to think how different life experiences have prepared me to be where I am today. To see what life can be, and hopefully will be like in the Village minus the calamities, read on.
First I want to thank you so very much for your concern for me. I am very touched. I also wish to apologize for a generic message to you all. But it seems the best way at the moment to get my message to you.
There are strange parallel universes happening. Houses a mess in some places, yet then a house with futons or laundry out drying in the sun.
People lining up for water and food, and yet a few people out walking their dogs. All happening at the same time.
Other unexpected touches of beauty are first, the silence at night. No cars. No one out on the streets. And the heavens at night are scattered with stars. I usually can see about two, but now the whole sky is filled.
The mountains around Sendai are solid and with the crisp air we can see them silhouetted against the sky magnificently. And the Japanese themselves are so wonderful. I come back to my shack to check on it each day, now to send this e-mail since the electricity is on, and I find food and water left in my entranceway. I have no idea from whom, but it is there. Old men in green hats go from door to door checking to see if everyone is OK. People talk to complete strangers asking if they need help. I see no signs of fear. Resignation, yes, but fear or panic, no.

The Top Five Craziest Film Theories: 'Titanic', 'The Matrix', 'The Shining' & More
Zackary Silberman
Zackary Silberman is a writer and filmmaker, who believes, foremost, in the power of the image, in their burning desire to be, because, like us, images want to be—want to be expressed, experienced, and enjoyed. He believes that it's this essential desire, always already a part of an image, that give Cinema its life—a life that we, as viewers, recognize can become just as real as our own—and whether these images lack or exceed, are beautiful or ugly, they all have an essential ability to transform us as viewers because we too recognize our potential for becoming in them, through them. It's for these reasons that he writes for Hollywood Insider, the media network that understands the oceanic transformation underlying Cinema's great, rolling precipice. O, to fall into its depth! He'll see you down there.

Photo/Video: Craziest Film Theories/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel
I consider myself to be a conspiracy theorist; name one; I've probably heard of it; so it stands to reason that I'd be drawn to conspiracies surrounding film; and it figures that the medium that documented Bigfoot, numerous UFO sightings, 9/11, would have its fair share of conspiracy theories, almost too many to condense down into a little top five list.
From the usual suspects like 'The Shining' (any Kubrick film really, that old occultist) to icebergs like 'Titanic', from animated kids movies like 'Finding Nemo' to horror movies like 'Saw' and its horrifying connection to 'Home Alone', from mind-bending blockbusters like 'Inception', 'The Matrix', and 'Star Wars' to oddities like 'Grease', 'Fargo', and 'Event Horizon', conspiracy theories become a part of the movies we love, an essential part of loving them: to take the time with a movie and create an entire world within that film, that's what movies should inspire within us.

So, while there may be some crazy film theories out there, let's not dismiss them too hastily, lest we also dismiss what makes Cinema so great and so, so much fun. We must embrace crazy film theories if we are to embrace film! This list honors those crazy film theories and is structured according to the theories that I believe are the craziest of crazy, so put on your tin-foil hats because here we go.
I'll be upfront: this is my own theory, which is why I'm ranking it so low on the list; it seems wrong to place it any higher; maybe I shouldn't even include it on this list at all (who really cares though?)? Still, this wouldn't be a serious crazy film theories list if 'The Shining' wasn't on it somewhere, and I did have this theory laying around, so I might as well include it, right? And it's not the same tired, old "Moon Landing Theory", so there's that too. We know that the Overlook Hotel exists out of time, exists across time. There are multiple temporal discrepancies throughout the film: how did Jack get in that photo at the end? It's implied that the shining, as a supernatural power, is temporal in nature, a bridge across time: Jack and Danny both interacting with ghostly figures from the hotel's past.
There's another theory that Jack and Danny both possess the shining ability, which explains why they'd both be able to interact with these apparitions. How could they both possess this ability? Either the shining is hereditary or they both acquired the power by chance or they're the same person, interacting with the other across time like they do with the other Overlook spirits. There are several moments in the film where Kubrick appears to frame the composition in such a way that it appears like Jack is talking to himself when he's talking to Danny and other moments where one character does something followed by the other.
My theory is that Jack is an evil, demonic, or possessed version of Danny in the future, which Danny encounters in the hotel, who he defeats by sealing away in the hotel's past. The maze scene at the end of the movie represents a symbolic severing of their connection with each other. I could go on and on about this, but there are still so many more film theories to talk about. If you like conspiracy theories about 'The Shining' though, I'd recommend watching the documentary 'Room 237', which explores various crazy engagements with the film, and, ultimately, forces the viewer to consider that all engagement with film might be a conspiracy in some way.
This is a theory that's been floating around the internet for a while, it's locus apparently a Facebook comment. I'm including it on the list because, well, I never really thought about it before, but, as far as film conspiracies go, this is about as convincing as you can get. Among the evidence: Jack claims to have visited landmarks that weren't built until after the Titanic sank like Lake Wissota, which wasn't built until 1917, and the Santa Monica Pier, which wasn't built until 1916.
The Titanic sank in 1912. He also carries around items that hadn't been produced until later in the 20th century like his rucksack, which, according to one website, wasn't in distribution until 1939, and let's not forget the filtered cigarettes Jack smokes, which weren't in distribution either until later in the '40s. The website asks why Jack would time travel back to the Titanic? Isn't it obvious? For love. Who wouldn't go back in time to save the woman you loved from killing herself?

'The Matrix', much like 'The Shining', is a film that's ripe to be theorized about, resulting in as many crazy film theories as scholarly articles, the boundary-blurring somewhere, of course. This film theory is courtesy of The Film Theorists on Youtube and explores a different path, a path where Agent Smith is actually "the One" prophesied about, "the One" who frees mankind from their simulated lives in the Matrix program, destroying the Matrix in the process. The channel recognizes that the prophecy itself states that "the One" is born within the Matrix itself, the program, which isn't possible for someone like Neo, who was born outside the Matrix and jacked into it after birth.
The prophecy also states that "the One" is able to change the Matrix from its first iteration, but since Neo himself wasn't a part of the first version of the Matrix, as Smith was according to the channel, he cannot be "the One"; moreover, the channel argues that Neo doesn't change the fabric of the Matrix as significantly as Smith does, who remakes the entire Matrix in his own image, which ultimately leads to its destruction: Smith assimilates Neo, jacked into the source, into himself, returning "the One" to the source, reloading the Matrix and freeing mankind.
The Oracle, who created "the One" according to the Architect, even says that Neo isn't "the One" in the first film (to put the cherry on top) and then chooses to lie about the true nature of "the One" in the following movies, according to the channel, to create an artificial peace between man and machine, essentially creating a scenario forcing machine and man to coexist, lest they both be destroyed, consumed by the other. Of course, none of this can happen without Neo, so it's more like there are two "the Ones"; but that doesn't sound as cool; or maybe "the One" exists in the continuity between Neo and Agent Smith as "the One" collectively? This is the thing about 'The Matrix' though: it's one big conspiracy rabbit hole. Just take the red pill.

I first remember hearing about this theory before the release of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', originating, I believe, on Reddit (and later transforming into the "Supreme Leader Snoke is Jar Jar Theory"), and I remember how much momentum this theory had going into the "Sequel Trilogy". I remember that I thought it might be true at the time, and I still do, even if the various theories that emerged surrounding it proved to be more dubious.
The Reddit user who first proposed the theory, u/Lumpawarroo, however, makes bold claims and backs those claims up with some pretty compelling evidence for Jar Jar's being a Sith lord in the "Prequel Trilogy", arguing that Jar Jar is a forced trained Sith lord and Palpatine's collaborator, citing Jar Jar's physical dexterity as an indicator of force sensitivity and further citing Jar Jar tendency to manipulate those around him as a type of Jedi Mind Control.
The Reddit user goes on to describe how Jar Jar uses this mind-control technique to help put Palpatine in a position of power and does so frequently during the "Prequel Trilogy", and while he ends up claiming at the end that Jar Jar is Snoke and will feature prominently in the "Sequel Trilogy", everything that he posits about the prequels could very well well be true. This is one of those conspiracies that you have to read to believe, so I recommend checking it out because there's a lot of damning evidence; but, even then, it's more fun than fact.

This is the craziest film theory that I could find; it says that all films are connected by a strange and mysterious force. Can you guess what that is? You! The viewer. We comprise the most comprehensive film theory there is because we create film theories. Whether this is a conspiracy or a cop-out, you'll have to decide. There are too many crazy theories to decide what the number one craziest theory is; that's too much responsibility for one lowly, old writer; instead, that power rests, as always, with the people that inspire film theories; so, what's the craziest film theory you've heard of? Email me. I'd like to know what you think!

An excerpt from the love letter: Hollywood Insider's CEO/editor-in-chief Pritan Ambroase affirms, "Hollywood Insider fully supports the much-needed Black Lives Matter movement. We are actively, physically and digitally a part of this global movement. We will continue reporting on this major issue of police brutality and legal murders of Black people to hold the system accountable. We will continue reporting on this major issue with kindness and respect to all Black people, as each and every one of them are seen and heard.
Just a reminder, that the Black Lives Matter movement is about more than just police brutality and extends into banking, housing, education, medical, infrastructure, etc. We have the space and time for all your stories. We believe in peaceful/non-violent protests and I would like to request the rest of media to focus on 95% of the protests that are peaceful and working effectively with positive changes happening daily.

Zackary Silberman is a writer and filmmaker, who believes, foremost, in the power of the image, in their burning desire to be, because, like us, images want to be---want to be expressed, experienced, and enjoyed. He believes that it's this essential desire, always already a part of an image, that give Cinema its life---a life that we, as viewers, recognize can become just as real as our own---and whether these images lack or exceed, are beautiful or ugly, they all have an essential ability to transform us as viewers because we too recognize our potential for becoming in them, through them. It's for these reasons that he writes for Hollywood Insider, the media network that understands the oceanic transformation underlying Cinema's great, rolling precipice. O, to fall into its depth!

Q: Display one element on top of another I want to display 2 links on top of an image in the example you see below. Tried a few different things but can not get it to work. Not sure if I am confusing inline/block elements and that's why I can't display it properly. Not sure if I am miss using a href attribute along with div elements. I tried using display : grid as well but may not have used it properly. I reverted my code back to basics in hopes someone here can guide me in the right direction

img{
    display: block;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  width: 70%;
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

p{
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family: OCR A Std, monospace ;
    text-decoration: none;

.note{
    margin-top: 100px;
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}

.img2{
  width: 100%;
}

.button{
    width: 200px;
    height: 40px;
  text-decoration: none;
  background-color: rgba(219, 193, 142);

Welcome to my Portfolio, below you will find a menu of

     all my coding assignments I completed in school. Some basic

     exercices as well as entire websites using HTML, CSS,

     Javascript,Bootstrap and PHP.

HTML and CSS

Javascript

A: Use position: absolute in a wrapper with position: relative:

main { position: relative; display: grid; place-items: center; }

div { position: absolute; }

button { display: block; width: 200px;}

 <button>HTML & CSS</button>
 <button>JavaScript</button>

Because the page will be rendered from top to bottom if you write the img first in the dom the div will be above by default.

A: use z-index.
its a CSS property that changes what elements are on top of each other. The higher the value, (the value is an Integer) the more visible the affected element is.
*note that you still need to change the position by yourself
use a z index of 0 on the image and a z-index of 1 on the buttons. assuming there is no elements behind the image and the buttons, nothing should disappear.

A: Another solution is to put your links in a container and show image as background image of the container:

img{
    display: block;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  width: 70%;
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

p{
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family: OCR A Std, monospace ;
    text-decoration: none;
}

.note{
    margin-top: 100px;
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}

.img2{
  width: 100%;

.button{
    width: 200px;

     all my coding assignments I completed in school. Some basic

     exercices as well as entire websites using HTML, CSS,

     Javascript,Bootstrap and PHP.

HTML and CSS

Javascript

A: Structured the image and the buttons in a div as container, and the buttons in one div also. And then set the container div to have position: relative;, this will let the buttons div be positioned relative to the container. and then set the buttons div to have position: absolute; top:50%; left:50%, this will positioned the buttons div 50% from the top and the left of the container, and z-index: 1000, this will place the buttons div floating on the image.

.container-image-button {
  position: relative;
}

.buttons {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  z-index: 1000;
}

HTML and CSS

Javascript

You can also see another reference in: Floating Div Over An Image

A: You need to use position: relative and position: absolute.
Put a div around the img and whatever you want to place on top. Set the div to position: relative. Then whatever you want to position on top you should give position: absolute. You can also center the element that has position: absolute; using position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%);.

Whether you're starting a new web design business from scratch, creating a product to sell, or starting a side gig–you need to come up with a name.
Naming your business or product might seem simple, but there are some precautions you should take. Choosing the wrong name could create problems for you and your business. If someone else already owns the name that you choose, you could even find yourself in legal trouble.
Your company or product name is likely to be with you for a long time. Potentially, it could be with you for as long as you run your business. Your name will also become part of your business brand. So, it's important to choose a name carefully.
In this post, I'll examine four questions you need to consider when naming your product or business. Please note that I am not an attorney and this post does not constitute legal advice.
Question #1: What Are the Qualities of a Good Name?
Unique. You need a unique name for your business or product. Your name will become part of your business identity.
Memorable. In general, shorter names are better than longer names. They are easier to remember. Shorter names will also help you on social media sites like Twitter, where the number of characters you can share at a time is limited.
Positive. Your business or product name should be free of negative connotations. Consider slang or foreign meanings too. If you are unsure how your target market will respond to a particular name, try hiring a focus group to tell you what that name means to them.
Intuitive. Some of the best names are directly related to the product or service. But don't limit yourself. Remember that the now household words like Yo-Yo and Zipper once had no obvious meaning.
Some name designations, like LLC (for limited liability company) or Inc. (for incorporated) refer to your business structure and you shouldn't use them unless that is actually how your business is structured.
Remember, the name you choose is likely to go on your stationery, your business cards, your website, and so on. So choose carefully.
Question #2: Should You Use Your Own Name?
Another tactic that many business owners consider is using their own name. This is particular popular among solo professionals and with partnerships.
Using your own name for your business may seem like an obvious choice, but is it a good idea?
Is your name unique? Just because it's your name doesn't mean that someone else hasn't already used it as a business name. Some names–like Smith, Jones, and Garcia in the United States–are extremely common.
If someone else has already started a business using your name, then you probably shouldn't. This is true even if their business is in an entirely different field. Imagine the confusion–is the client trying to locate Mr. Smith the Web Designer or Mr. Smith the exterminator? Trust me, you don't want all those calls and all that confusion.
Will you eventually sell or incorporate the business? It is possible to sell a business named after yourself, of course. But do you really want to give up control of something that is named after you?
Once you've found several names you are interested in, you are ready to find out whether they are available for use.
Question #3: Is the Name Available?
Availability is a legal as well as a practical consideration. You don't want to be sued for infringing upon someone's trademarked name.
Contact your county and state to see if they maintain a database of registered business names. This can help you to determine whether your business name is being used in the county or state where you do business.
Search registered trademarks. There are several services that allow you to search for registered trademarks in the United States. You can search for trademarks through Trademark Electronic Search Service (TESS) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. There is no charge to use the service.
Use the Search Engine. A final way to determine whether a business or product name is already being used is to search for the name using one or more of the search engines. If you get an exact match in the results, then you know that the name is in use.
Question #4: Is the Domain Name Available?
Before finalizing your choice of a business or product name, you will want to see if the .com or .net domain name for that name is available. People will automatically assume that your website name is the same is your company or product name. For that reason, I strongly recommend purchasing a domain name that matches your company or product name.
Here are several resources to help you find out whether a domain name is available.
checkdomain.com. Type any domain name URL to find out whether that URL is registered. There is no charge to use this service.
Whois.net. If the domain name you are interested in is registered already, you can use this service to find out who owns the domain and some information about the name. There is no charge to look up a domain name.
If you find that a name meets all of the criteria above, you are ready to finalize the name. To protect your interests, you may want to register the name you select as a trademark and add it to your county and/or state database. Be sure to the buy the domain name that matches the name you have chosen.
What steps did you go through when you selected your business or product name?

An act of great cunning?
June 29, 2012 / TeeJaw / No Comments
Air Disasters
That's the title of Hillsdale College Professor Paul Rahe's piece at Ricochet on Chief Justice John Roberts' holding that the Obamacare mandate is a tax and not a mandate, even though Obama and his supporters went to great lengths in arguing that it was not a tax. Rahe thinks that Roberts may have done what he did to avoid the political firestorm the Democrats had promised if the court ruled against Obamacare but at the same time, by labeling the mandate a tax, made it easier for Republicans to repeal it next year. That assumes Republicans hold the White House and a majority in both houses of Congress next year (but less than 60 in the Senate). If the mandate is a tax, Senate rules do not allow a filibuster to either enact or repeal a tax.
There are several other pundits and commentators defending Roberts on the theory that his opinion was a brilliant maneuver to fool the Democrats into thinking they had a victory to celebrate when it's actually a long-term defeat. These include Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit who thinks Roberts might be playing an elaborate game. He compared the decision to Marbury v. Madison, where Chief Justice John Marshall surrendered in the case before the court while firmly and eloquently reasserting the Court's right and responsibility to engage in judicial review. Slate marvels at Roberts' genius in a piece entitled Obama Wins the Battle, Roberts Wins The War. "The chief justice's canny move to uphold the Affordable Care Act while gutting the Commerce Clause," brays Tom Scocca of Slate. Then there is Ezra Klein's The Political Genius of John Roberts holding that "By voting with the liberals to uphold the Affordable Care Act, Roberts has put himself above partisan reproach. No one can accuse Roberts of ruling as a movement conservative. He's made himself bulletproof against insinuations that he's animated by party allegiances."
Even George Will finds solace in John Roberts' new membership in the liberal wing of the Supreme Court:
By persuading the court to reject a Commerce Clause rationale for a president's signature act, the conservative legal insurgency against Obamacare has won a huge victory for the long haul. This victory will help revive a venerable tradition of America's political culture, that of viewing congressional actions with a skeptical constitutional squint, searching for congruence with the Constitution's architecture of enumerated powers. By rejecting the Commerce Clause rationale, Thursday's decision reaffirmed the Constitution's foundational premise: Enumerated powers are necessarily limited because, as Chief Justice John Marshall said, "the enumeration presupposes something not enumerated."
When Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), asked where the Constitution authorized the mandate, exclaimed, "Are you serious? Are you serious?," she was utterly ingenuous. People steeped in Congress's culture of unbridled power find it incomprehensible that the Framers fashioned the Constitution as a bridle. Now, Thursday's episode in the continuing debate about the mandate will reverberate to conservatism's advantage.
Rahe and Will are kidding themselves. Rahe is especially naive in seeing any hope for conservatives in anything coming from Slate or from Ezra Klein at the Washington Post. These men are kool aid drinking liberals who have no use for conservatives or conservatism. They do not want to help conservatives and do not write with pleasure about any conservative victory or advancement. Quite simply, to the extent they claim to believe yesterday's debacle in the Supreme Court holds any future hope for conservatives they are being disingenuous.
George Will may not be as enamored with Scocca and Klein as Professor Rahe, but his optimism about Roberts new persona ignores one of his own strongly held principles: That Occam's Razor is almost always correct, the simple explanation for any new phenomenon is the right one. Here the simple explanation is that Roberts caved to Obama's threats. The simple reality is that the United States Supreme Court is not going to rule against a determined Democratic party. It never has. The Supreme Court supported slavery when it was the Democrat desire that it do so; it supported Jim Crow laws and racial segregation laws because Democrats wanted them; it supported the New Deal because Democrat president Roosevelt threatened it with a court-packing plan; it threw the first amendment in the trash heap when Democrats [plus the Senate fool, John McCain] wanted to make political speech illegal with McCain/Feingold; and it now supports Obamacare because another Democrat president has attacked one of its justices personally and threatened that the Court will lose its credibility if it rules against him.
Conservatives see the Court as a powerful institution, and to them it is because it exerts its power most often for Democrats and especially when Democrats are most determined. Come to think of it, almost every other court in the land does the same thing.
Professor Rahe himself appears to sense the weakness in his thinking that Roberts may made "an act of great cunning," because he also said, "Given the debate that took place when [Obamacare] was passed, no honest man could think the mandate a tax."
Final irony: Obama viciously criticized Bush's nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court and voted against his nomination. Now it is none other than a Chief Justice John Roberts who singlehandedly came to Obama's rescue on the Obamacare case. Does Obama have a photo of Roberts…? Noooo, I better not go there.

How Does The Social Security Administration Decide Whether Somebody With Autism Is Disabled?
While the Social Safety Administration begins the method to determine disability, it's, in truth, a state agency referred to as Incapacity Dedication Providers that makes the final choice in determining who is considered legally disabled. Just as private firms now must do with their future pension liabilities, the federal government must acknowledge on a yearly basis simply how much it will need to pay for future entitlement claims and set cash aside to meet these claims.
Based on the Social Safety Administration, four changes beginning in the late nineteenth century helped abolish the financial security policies of the time: the Industrial Revolution , America's urbanization, the vanishing prolonged household and a longer life expectancy.
The higher the marginal tax rates (the taxes on the marginal or final quantity of earnings earned) the less incentive one has to work. In addition, many billionaires are asset billionaires and not liquid billionaires, so they don't pay taxes until they train their property.
The only approach to let your benefits proceed to grow is so that you can file for spousal advantages and let your personal benefit develop until age 70. To apply for spousal solely benefits you must have attained your full retirement age (sixty six for present retires).
Creating your Emergency Paperwork Package might seem like an amazing chore (very similar to doing taxes) but there may come a time when you are very glad you made the trouble to be organized. And the backlog of people waiting for a hearing on disability insurance coverage claims is greater than 600 days.

Please do not post angry messages (flaming), post the same message over and over across the forum or post non-astrological advertising (spamming), and do not post messages for the sole purpose of angering other people in the forum (trolling).
Underaged members are advised to ask parental permission to discuss sexual matters in this Forum but this site cannot be held responsible if permission is not obtained.
Astrological data are highly sensitive. We therefore ask you to take the protection of personal data of third persons very seriously. If you wish to post the chart of a person known to you, you must have their permission to do so or anonymize the name and all birth / personal data. If this is not the case, please refrain from posting this chart.
Please know that you should take your own risks if you decide to trust someone else with their astrological services, as this forum does not undertake any responsibility for any astrological services, especially those offered against a fee, via this forum in any form: through public forums or chat, private messages or emails.
Also remember that this is a public forum, indexed by search engines (Google, for instance), so basically everything you post here is not only viewable by any other person, but it also can be retrieved by a simple internet search.
The forum is moderated by a team of moderators. Their list is available on this page: Forum Leaders.
Although the administrator and moderators of Astrologers' Community will make all reasonable efforts to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the administrator or moderators of Astrologers' Community will be held responsible for the content of any message.
The administrator and moderators of Astrologers' Community reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread or post which fails to abide the forum rules. Moderators' means to get users to comply with these common sense rules include friendly communication, warnings, and eventually banning in case of repeated or extreme unwanted behavior. Banning from the forum is only done for some violation of the forum rules. The moderators' decisions are final. You just have to trust the moderators that they're doing the best job they can.
New threads should be started in the appropriate board, in order to keep the forum organized. Non-astrological threads belong to the "Anything else…" section. Threads started in the wrong board will be moved by moderators to the appropriate board.
Posting the same topic on more than one forum, or making multiple posts on the exact same subject is not permitted.
Off-topic and personal messages are permitted as long as they are limited and do not turn the attention from the astrological topic discussed.
Personal attacks are not permitted, nor is attacking others to defend your position nor fighting back from such attacks; such situations have only lead in the past to flame wars, stirring turbulent emotions within the community. Personal issues are to be solved through private communication. When in doubt, focus on the PROBLEM not on the PERSON. Whenever personal attacks appear on the forum, notify the moderators at once so they can take measures.
To create a new thread, go to the relevant forum and click on the 'new thread' button. Upload your chart to make it easier for others to answer your chart questions.
As a newcomer to the forum, please post as soon as possible to the 'Introduce yourself' section. Describe what sparked your interest in astrology or your background of knowledge, or write anything you like about yourself.
Take enough time getting to know the existing threads in the forum and sub-forums to be able to best determine where to post your new thread(s). Before asking a question use the search tool in the forum menu to locate any previous threads that might have already answered your question.
Giving your own astrological ideas in your astrological posts shows a willingness to learn and helps create an exchange of ideas where the experienced and less experienced can learn from each other. Members on this Forum are at different levels of study. Please keep that in mind when given or giving advice: we can not and do not guarantee the accuracy of any advice given in the Astrologers' Community.
If you intend to learn about astrology, you will need to begin with a natal chart, preferably your own, in an effort to better understand your own life journey, and purpose. It is important to note that the time of your birth is the most important information you can have. It is no use guessing the time as this will yield incorrect interpretations. Please try to get a verified birth time. We have also have an Education forum for those who would like to begin with their astrological studies, and a listing of websites that give you an astrological report on your chart.
Medical Astrology advice should not replace advice of a medical professional.
Professional astrologers may provide a description of the off-forum services they provide and the off-forum fees they charge on the 'Advertising' board. They also may answer any questions people have about those services or fees on that board.
Outside the 'Advertising' board, professional astrologers may post a link to their own website in their signature line so that prospective clients can locate them. Astrological consultations for a fee are not permitted on this forum or through any of the forum tools (e.g., PMs, chatting, etc.). Forum members are fully responsible for any interactions they have with professional astrologers and this forum provides no guarantees or promises of any kind for any astrological services provided.
Promotion of non-professional astrological services (phone psychics, etc.) or non-astrological products (by signature links or otherwise) is not permitted.
The private messages are by definition private. Nobody (nor even the forum admin) has the possibility to read them, so everybody can write everything. Anybody however can use the Ignore List in the User CP to block receiving and seeing messages from a specific user.
Verbal aggression or sexual advancements made via PM by other members are not permitted, therefore do not hesitate to notify the moderators, so that corrective actions might be taken.
We also expect from the forum users in respect to any messages they receive privately from other forum members or moderators. Publishing a private message is considered a violation of forum rules, unless the sender agrees to it.
To personalize your preferences (e.g., create your own personal avatar and signature etc.) in the forum go to User CP. All the settings are made in the "Control Panel" area on the left of the page.
Users are kindly asked to participate to the moderating effort by reporting what they consider as bad posts. To do this, please click the 'Report Bad Post' link found at the top right of the offending post ( ). This link is an all-purpose method of getting the Moderators' attention - once you click it, it opens a form where you can submit details of what you think is wrong with the post. It doesn't have to be a long description, it can be a few words. When you submit this form, it automatically emails all the Moderators with the URL of the thread (you don't have to copy and paste the URL into the form), and your additional comments. Your identity will not be revealed to anyone else at any time - only the Mods will know who is reporting a post. The reports are kept confidential, the poster will not know you reported their post.
Reporting is not just for severely bad posts, it's for any breaches of the rules or forum philosophy which you think we might need to be aware of and act on, small or large. We may or may not act on them depending on the severity and the courses of action open to us, but as the forums grow you guys really need to use this method to let us know of breaches as we cannot physically read every new post to detect violations or annoyances ourselves. Remember that the moderators here are unpaid volunteers who give up their time to help maintain forum quality.
You may also contact moderators by private messages, for any forum-related subject.
The moderators would respectfully suggest that you obtain permission from your parents or at least let them know that you are visiting this site, since certain discussion boards may have mature content that you or your parents find inappropriate. While we try to keep the subject matter on astrology, we cannot always guarantee that other subjects will not be discussed.
The moderators are also very concerned with your well-being and safety, so if you feel that you are receiving unwanted or uncomfortable attention from other forum members via PM or on the threads, or if you are uncomfortable with some of the material being discussed, please do not hesitate to contact any of us via PM immediately. We are here to help you in your astrology studies and to support you in whatever way we can.
This forum shall not be a place facilitating copyright infringement, since that obviously goes against our main objective, which is to promote astrology. Indeed, we cannot promote astrology, if we undermine the mechanism intended to ensure that authors publishing on astrology benefit from their hard work, which puts at risk the publications of new books on astrology. Such undermining of the rights of these authors will not be tolerated on the forum, and members are asked to assist the moderators in this by reporting any posts that break this rule.
In order to respect copyright laws, members must not paste in their posts texts copied from other websites or other publications that are over 100 words long each. A maximum of 3 quotes of texts copied from other websites or other publications is accepted per post and each quote must be from a separate website or other publication. Each quote will be indicated in some way, such as placed between quotation marks, between the tags [quote]copyrighted text[/quote] or in some other way indicating that this is copied text. The source should be properly mentioned: book or magazine author and title, name of magazine, ideally also additional publication data. If the text is publicly available online, a link to the source should be given.
Plagiarism, defined as copying one's work and passing it off as one's own, is not accepted. Material in the public domain (that either was never copyrighted, either the copyright has expired) has to be appropriately cited also.
The administrator and the moderators reserve the right to change or modify these rules at any time without prior notice.

Russian round-the-world balloonist on home stretch
Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov is on the home stretch of his world record attempt solo round-the-world hot air balloon trip.
But according to his website, the final leg is fair from plain sailing, with the Russian in ' survival mode'.
Konyukhov took off from Northam at dawn on July 12 in a bid to beat Steve Fossett's 2002 successful solo-circumnavigation, which completed in 13 days.
The adventurer is currently over the Indian Ocean on his way back to Australia, but according to his website, the balloon will work to avoid a severe low pressure system.
Konyukhov has had to lose some of the helium in his balloon, as it could climb to a height that pose a risk to his ability to breathe, even with the help of a 100L oxygen tank.
The pilot also de-iced three frozen pilot lights and get all four burners working again, that will be essential as he works to jump the low pressure system.
Despite the challenges, Konyukhov remains on world record pace.

Step into the Craftsmen's Courtyard and you'll soon catch a whiff of the delicious scent of Nuremberg bratwurst, gingerbread and other specialties of Franconian cuisine. The medieval feel of the narrow lanes, shops and half-timbered huts makes this little village within the big city a special attraction.
If you look towards the Old Town of Nuremberg from the main train station, the first thing you see is the Frauentor Tower. The tower was made round in the middle of the 16th century and is one of four large round towers in the city wall of Nuremberg. Today, on the historical cobblestones of the former ward, you'll find the colorful and lively Craftsmen's Courtyard.
Experience Traditional Handicrafts
You can watch the craftsmen work and buy a wonderful and unique example of traditional artisan work. A gingerbread maker, leather craftsman, glass painter and cutter, potter, tin smith, an artist of poker work and a goldsmith all bring their art and artistry to life in the Craftsmen's Courtyard.
Precious Handmade Memories of Nuremberg
Many of the things that have made Nuremberg world famous can be seen and purchased in the idyllic Craftsmen's Courtyard. If you are looking for something special - whether it be handmade dolls, tin toys, wooden toys, beautiful jewelry or arts and crafts - you're sure to find what you're looking for. Fans of Franconian cuisine can enjoy Franconian wine, bratwurst on pewter plates, fresh beer, specialty chocolates and genuine Nuremberg gingerbread.

5 things, you should know about.
Nuremberg gingerbread must be produced within the city limits of Nuremberg.
The inventive spirit and ingenuity of Nuremberg's craftsmen, artist and inventors was known as "Nuremberg wit" in the Middle Ages.
In Nuremberg, the first paper mill in Germany was opened 1390/91 by the patrician merchant Ulman Stromer.
Today, many street names reflect Nuremberg's past history as a center of leather production, bearing the name of tanners, shoemakers, saddlers and glove makers.
The worldwide importance of Nuremberg's toy industry in the 19th century grew out of the city's long tradition of metal and wood production.

A day spa is where women can go to get away from the stress of everyday life to relax and pamper their minds and their bodies. And the nail business is changing for the better. There are more services being offered in hand and foot care.
Recently, while I was visiting a day spa in California, I was told "Shhhh, be quiet." It was odd, I can usually be as loud as I want in salons. Then it hit me. Day spas are a whole new salon experience. The atmosphere is the most important part of the experience!
So, what is a day spa? A day spa is where women can go to get away from the stress of everyday life to relax and pamper their minds and their bodies. And the nail business is changing for the better. There are more services being offered in hand and foot care.
Nail salons need to be more aware what's happening in day spas right now. There are two differences between a salon and a spa: the philosophy and the products. A day spa's business plan is to give the client a relaxing experience while receiving beauty care. I think what needs to change is the philosophy of the nail salon. They need to start turning into day spas because women today no longer want to just have a manicure or pedicure—they want to relax and they want to be able to have their services done at the same time.
Nail salons need to change the perceived value of their services. No longer can they just do nails. They need to be in the business of hand and foot care and of pampering women. It begins by changing the atmosphere of the salon and offering unique services. With the pace of life today, no wonder day spas are the fastest-growing part of our industry.

Unfortunately for us Brits, the little bit of Summer we do actually get is now slowly coming to an end! As the nights start to get darker and mornings colder, that trip from the shower to the bedroom is ever becoming more and more daunting. This being said, Winter should be a time to enjoy, and you should be looking to embrace all of the best aspects of it in your home. It may sound strange, but if you do the right preparation for your home, Winter can actually be more enjoyable and comforting than the heat of Summer.
Clearing out gutters and drains may not seem like the most appealing or enjoyable task to do in the house, but it is one of the most essential. Leaving natural debris such as leaves and mud inside piping and drains can lead to water build up, especially in England's winter, which is pretty much constant rain. Make sure all pipelines, gutters and drains are fully cleared out to prevent any kind of water damage this Winter.
Throughout the hotter months, insulation may have never crossed your mind due to the sun beaming through the big windows and making it feel like a sauna. However, now that the days are getting colder, you'll suddenly start to feel a much colder temperature flow throughout your home. This is where proper insulation can help. Insulation basically keeps in the heat, not letting much escape through the ceilings. Not only does this warm the house up, but also saves you around £120 per year on your energy bill.
Throughout the Summer, it is likely you haven't turned on the heating, apart from maybe the odd few times you needed to quickly dry a piece of washing. With this in mind, the type of energy plan your household is on may not be fit for the Winter. Rates from the summer may well be higher than Winter as energy providers know you won't be using it as much, and this it is very important to check this before using more energy.
Nobody likes a cold breeze, and even more so in the Winter. People often come to the conclusion that a window must be open when feeling a through draft in the house, however, these drafts could well be coming from small cracks left in window skirting boards, or even the gaps between the door and its frame. Before Winter is here, just test all of your windows and doors to double check no cold air can get in.
As much as we have discussed the practical elements to preparing your home for Winter, it is also just as essential to create a warmer atmosphere, in order to make the Winter as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. In order to do this, look to switch up the furnishings in your home. Summer months tend to see brighter decor, using colours such as white, lime greens and yellows. You may want to switch the brighter colours for darker, more warm colours, such as burgundy, dark purple etc. Also, invest in warm throws, rugs and any other material decor that will bring heat and comfort to the rooms overall ambience.


Places are not merely the built environment, but total environment comprised of physical space, people, furnishings, machines, sensory attributes, actions and meanings.
Place is a location in space imbued with unique attributes that set it apart from other places.
Has objective attributes (size, ethnicity, income levels) and subjective attributes (big, exciting, or crime ridden).
Places are also collections of memories, your own and other peoples.
A café can become a welcome or unwelcome place depending on whether you met up or broke up with there – perhaps both.
We all 'brand' places by choosing what to believe about them and what to tell others about those beliefs.
Our views can persuade others what to believe about places.
Real attributes are those a place generates based on precedent – e.g. you live on a farm and believe it is wholesome and good.
Perceived attributes are those based on your belief that a particular type of place would be good – e.g. while never having lived on a farm you believe the life would be a good and wholesome one.
Contrived attributes occur when your beliefs are manipulated to create a sense of place about somewhere, either through marketing and/or actual creation of the place.
Real, perceived and contrived attributes are premised on experiences and/or expectations.
Experiences are your personal record of attributes that generate positive or negative feelings about a place or type of place. For example parks may generate negative or positive feelings depending on what happened to you there.
Expectations may be based on personal experience but may also be based on other people's experiences or beliefs about places or types of place. For example, Auschwitz has come to symbolize horror to Jews and non-Jews alike, whether victims or not.
Associations "takes me to a happy place" – or not: the Febreeze clip.
Less an input, but think of walking on sticky streets.
Places get labeled according to their social position: the mansions of Rosedale are still mansions but the mansions of Parkdale are rooming houses.
And Yorkville has run the gamut from working class suburb to Hippieville to Yuppie living.
