Charming villages, blue waters, golden and fine sand, enviable weather, exquisite gastronomy, culture, history and many things to do, sounds good? Well this is what you´ll find in the Costa de la Luz in Andalusia. The Costa de la Luz (Coast of the light) extends through the Atlantic Ocean along the provinces of Huelva and Cádiz. Lucky for you, the stunning Parador de Cádiz is located in a privileged spot that will allow you to discover the many villages in the Costa de la Luz and enjoy the facilities, peace, luxe and surroundings of the hotel.
The Port of Santa María is probably one of the most emblematic locations of the Costa de la Luz that offers everything needed to have a great time in a beach town. A nautical port, pools, a golf course and some beautiful beaches are offered in this area with more than 15km of coast. Forget about what stress means strolling through the streets of this village, watching the sunset from the bay and discovering the cultural and historical monuments of the area such as Castle of San Marcos, the Iglesia Mayor Prioral, the bullring and others along the old quarter. Besides, don´t miss the opportunity to visit one of the many wineries in the area and taste some great quality wines.
From the Parador de Cádiz to the Port of Santa María it takes approximately 30 minutes by car through the CA-35 or A-4.
Conil de la Frontera is one of the villages of the Costa de la Luz that is located closer to the Parador de Cádiz. A great option to explore this village and the ones that follow it such as Conil de la Frontera, Caños de Meca, Zahara de los Atunes and Tarifa is by taking a road trip stopping a couple of hours in each village or taking a daytrip to the ones you prefer from the Parador de Cádiz.
Conil de la Frontera is the first stop from the Parador de Cádiz. In here, the beach is obviously the protagonist with many beautiful creeks of crystalline blue water and golden sand. The creeks of Roche, perfect for bathing and the beach of the Bateles, ideal for windsurf and kitesurf are two great spots in Conil de la Frontera. Besides the beaches, stroll along the streets of this little village and discover some of its main monuments such as the lighthouse of Trafalgar.To get from the Parador de Cádiz to the charming village of Conil de la Frontera it takes approximately 1 hour by car through the A-48.
After Conil de la Frontera, head down 15km through the highway A-2233 to Los Caños de Meca, a destination with beaches, the natural park of Breña and marismas de Barbate and stunning sunsets. The many chiringuitos (beachfront bars and restaurants) of the beaches in this area a great option to have a snack between one beach and another.
From los Caños de la Meca head down to Zahara de los Atunes. It will take approximately half an hour by car before you get to Zahara de los Atunes, a beach paradise. This village owes its name to the great fishing of tuna available in the sea of this area. The many beautiful beaches, the promenade, the Castle of the Almadrabas and the life of this village make it a worth spot in the Costa de la Luz.
Tarifa is located 40km away from Zahara de los Atunes and is definitely a must-visit village of the Costa de la Luz. This is the place where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet and the ideal spot to admire the views of the African Coast. Surfing and bathing in the beach, walking around the walled old quarter and tasting typical dishes will make your time in Tarifa wonderful. Tarifa stands approximately 100km away from the Parador de Cádiz, so after a day of beach, take the last drive through the N-340 and A-48 to return to the Parador and rest after an intensive beach-day.

We live in a very comfortably restored Victorian home in Summer Hill in Sydney.
We live in a very comfortably restored Victorian home in Summer Hill in Sydney, Australia's most beautiful harbour city. The house has plenty of space with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate dining room, there is huge eat-in kitchen and walk-in pantry with an open plan living area, plus a large sun deck for outside (al fresco) breakfast or dinning overlooking the back garden. The house has polished timber floors throughout and has under floor central heating and air conditioning.
Summer Hill is like a small village in a large city with shopping, coffee shops and restaurants within strolling distance and we are conveniently located to both rail & bus for fast easy access to the city and the harbour.
Jamie my husband, owns and operates a marine business on Sydney Harbour and I (Judie) work as a Trainer.
We both love to travel and explore other countries and other cultures.
Our interest are many and varied, including the appreciation of good food & wine, theater, films & music.
We enjoy boating, surfing & swimming & generally anything to do with the water.
Summer Hill is just 7 kilometers to the centre of the city of Sydney by train or car, only 15 minutes to the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour. We are within 45 minutes to the 'World Heritage' listed 'Blue Mountains' and 15 minutes to Homebush Bay the 2000 Olympic Site. Sydney International Airport is just 20 minutes away by cab. Sydney is surrounded by many beautiful beaches up and down the coastline, including the famous Bondi Beach.


For many years on this blog, I've written letters to my kids on their birthdays. They are full of love and advice and wishes for their future. This year, I decided I needed a letter on my birthday. My mom's been gone for nearly 15 years. She was never much for advice, but damn could she write a letter. So, this year. I'm going to write myself one, in the spirit of a loving and advice giving mom.
Another trip around the sun for you. It's easy, in these midlife years, with grown up responsibilities and a birthday that falls on a Monday to just let it go by. You've been good at that lately, letting your stuff go.
But this year, maybe try to celebrate, even just a little. After all, you've gotten through 45 years of heartache and triumph. At least stop to acknowledge that on one day.
You spend your days urging women to be more kind to themselves. Then you spend your nights forbidding your children from speaking ill of themselves.
You urge both groups to reframe mistakes into learning opportunities. You preach practicing patience with oneself.
And yet, you rarely extend this same kindness to you. So, whatdaya say? Maybe give it a try.
Resilience is a strength not to be ignored. You've survived great loss, a variety of hurts, and many small disappointments. You've course-corrected and rebuilt. You've made Reinvention a trademark. And all the while (most of the time) you've stayed kind and hopeful and open to loving and being loved.
You're never afraid to admit being wrong, or not knowing something. Learning is built into your very being. If there are any shortcomings here it is that you forget to believe that you do know some things and that it's ok to share them. Humility is wonderful. Self-defeat through ignoring your strengths is not.
When you get quiet and allow the thoughts to come, you know, deep down, that your mom and dad would be proud. You spent most of your young life trying to impress one ghost. Then at thirty, you concentrated on impressing two.
Guess what? At 45, you realize that simply with your tenacity, open mind, and fierce heart, you would have made them both proud. All the schooling and professional work is just icing on the cake.
You're still trying to master the physical part of being well and healthy and kind to your body. But here is where the practice of patience comes in. You do your best. And at the end of the day, your soul is well and beautiful, even if it resides in a plus-sized body. Be patient with yourself as you continue to learn that.
And oh, girl, how lucky you are to have amassed such a treasured collection of family and friends.
Every single day you get to come home to four (plus two furry) of the most loving, beautiful souls on the planet. There is important conversation, and warmth and laughter inside your four (newly yellow) walls all the time and it is glorious.
Outside of your sunny yellow house, you've built an unparalleled scaffolding of friends, family and friends who are like family from each stage of your life. You've been hashtag blessed since before #blessed was even a thing.
It seems my friend, you've done alright for yourself. My only advice to you for the next 45 years is to own that. You've always owned the pain and struggle. Now, own the strength. Own the triumph. Own the joy.
It's not all luck. It's a lot parts you.
Happy Birthday, lady. Here's to many more.


Firstly, a brief intro to Skin Inc and since I am not familiar with them.
I took this off timeoutsingapore.com's website.
"Skin Inc is Asia's first skin supplement bar, a concept designed for busy women (and metrosexuals). Just pop over and the consultants will help you select the right 'cocktail mix' of skin serums for your individual skin condition. The bar stocks the dermatology-based V-Solution 10 Series from Japan – touted as non-invasive alternatives to popular treatments like Botox and IPL – and dispenses treatments such as the Diamond Peel ($98), Skin Infusion ($198) and Collagen Crystal Mask ($35) that'll only take between 45 to 60 minutes."
I've tried their diamond peel & skin infusion treatment at the Central branch twice.
Previously, I had raved about their black crystal mask in my blog before.
However, their treatments are freaking expensive.
Diamond peel treatment = diamond peel alone... no extractions, no mask included.
And it'll set you back at $98.
Normal facial places may charge around this price too but they include extractions and mask.
I so happened to be one of the lucky 50 who responded to their SMS blast and have gotten myself a FREE Oxy Miracle Peel Treatment. Hence, I went down to try out their latest treatment since they had a new machine and a newly opened branch at Orchard Central.
This Oxy Miracle Peel Treatment has a whooping ala-carte price of $128.
It's actually a deep cleansing treatment which uses only oxygen and pure water microdroplets accelerated to supersonic speed to deeply exfoliate, cleanse, and hydrate the skin. It is ideal for all types of skin and promises visible change of skin tone with just one treatment. The con was that it was a rather unpleasant experience for me. The gush of cold air (oxygen) emitting from the jet spray sure was uncomfortable.
When asked about the difference between this and the diamond peel.
Cindy, my therapist, explained that this treatment is more suitable for people with sensitive or dehydrated skin as it is less drying. Furthermore, diamond peels will thin your skin if overdone. She also mentioned that the diamond peel was actually more suited for those suffering from pitted scars.
Luckily, I am blessed with pretty decent skin. Hence, she told me that it'll be better for me to go for the Oxy Miracle Peel treatment instead.
She commented that my skin is a little sensitive.
See, the skin is a really funny, complex and complicated organ.
One moment I can be enjoying normal skin and the next, it's drying or sensitive.
Anyway, I got talked into topping up $68 for their Onsen thermal water treatment (flown in from Japan according to her),in which she would use the same machine on me but this time round with the thermal water instead.
The results were instant. My face appeared brighter and fairer too.
My skin tone looked more even and Cindy even offered to do extractions for me.
I was surprised but she was equally just as surprised to learn that the folks at the Central branch did not do extractions.
Anyway, Cindy's facial massage was pretty good. I hope that it'll give my face that extra boost and lifting effect.
I think most of Skin Inc's clientèle are older women or tai tais, I mean, seriously who can afford such pricey treatments.
Hence, it probably is no wonder why EVERY TIME I go over for a treatment. They'll gush over how young I am or look.
I ended the facial with their crystal black mask which I had brought down personally.
Cindy told me that it's not advisable to reuse the mask since your skin would have absorbed most of the nutrients and moisture. But it was alright to use it on other parts of your body like your neck etc.
How strange, since the lady at the Central branch mentioned that it can be used on 2 separate occasions and not exceeding 2 .... or was it 5 hours in total? While ANOTHER lady at the Central branch told me that she wore it to sleep.
I think Skin Inc should seriously retrain their staff. How can I have 3 Skin Inc staff telling me DIFFERENT things regarding the SAME SINGLE PRODUCT!?!
Anyway, I am rather satisfied with the treatment results today that I am giving it 4 out of 5 hearts.
Minus 1 for the hefty price tag and lack of comfort.
But 4 hearts for the results and Cindy's initiative to do extractions and a great facial massage for me!


The City of Blue Springs is working with TREKK Design Group, LLC to conduct smoke testing of our sanitary sewer systems. The smoke is non-toxic, non-staining, has no odor, white to gray in color, creates no fire hazard, and is not harmful to pets. The smoke should not enter your building unless you have defective plumbing or dried up drain traps.
The sanitary sewer system was not designed to handle stormwater. The stormwater in the sanitary sewer system can cause sewage backups and results in extra water being treated at the wastewater treatment plant, which drives up sewer charges. These tests help us identify breaks and defects in the sanitary sewer pipes.

Burelage (), also burelé, is a French term referring to an intricate network of fine lines, dots or other designs printed over or as the background of some postage or revenue stamps to prevent counterfeiting. In English the word is sometimes spelled with an accent on the first "e" as burélage, although the accent does not appear in the French spelling and its origin is unclear. Burelage most commonly appears as a form of underprinting.

Early uses of burelage on postage stamps include the first issue of the stamps of Denmark from 1851, and stamps issued by the City of Hanover beginning in 1855. Stamp varieties may be distinguished in catalogs based on the presence or absence of burelage as well as variations in the burelage itself, such as the size of network, orientation on the stamp, color, or method of printing.

Although burelage is usually unobtrusive, some of the Mexico Exporta stamps (see below) had burelage printed over the stamp which is dark enough to obscure the stamp image.

FRIGHT NIGHT (MOVIE)
Original release: August 2nd, 1985
Writer and director: Tom Holland
Composer: Brad Fiedel
Cast: Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, Stephen Geoffreys, Roddy McDowall
We like to think we know everything, don't we? It would be far too frightening to admit otherwise. For example, what would it mean for us if we were to let go of many of those commonly held beliefs about life and death; that we're born into this world, we live, we die and either that's the end of it, or our souls ascend to Heaven (or to Hell), or we're reincarnated and come back into the world again. It's a fairly rigid system of beliefs and it doesn't leave much room for anything else in between. However, the "in between" should concern us as much as everything else.
In the 1985 cult horror classic, Fright Night, the uncertainly of what lies between life and death becomes the primary concern for its characters, including Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale). He's a typical American teenager who also happens to be a huge fan of the Gothic horror films of the 60s and 70s. He prefers to stay awake at night and watch his favourite TV series "Fright Night" hosted by his idol, Hammer Horror style actor Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who played a vampire killer for many years in horror movies.
When a new neighbor, Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon), moves in next door, Charley starts to become incredibly suspicious of the handsome and charming man who has women, including Playboy Playmate Heidi Sorenson, falling at his feet. After spying on him one night, he discovers there's more to life and death, specifically; that there's such a thing as the undead – and Jerry's one of them.
Charley does his best to convince those around him, including his mother, his girlfriend Amy Peterson (Amanda Bearse) and his best friend "Evil" Eddy (Stephen Geoffreys), but none of them really take him seriously, so he then contacts the police who do nothing but ignore his overactive imagination. This then brings him to Jerry's attention who offers him a deal, "Forget about me and I'll forget about you." Of course, that's not about to happen, and what happens next only manages to enflame the situation even more, igniting what will become a full-on battle between good and evil.
When he tracks down Peter Vincent to enlist his help, he too is dismissive of Charley's outlandish claims of real-life vampires in his neighbourhood, but after a little financial incentive thrown his way, the out-of-work actor sets out to prove Jerry's not actually a member of the undead. The conflicts in Fright Night escalate towards one of the film's most memorable scenes where Amy falls under Jerry's spell in a packed nightclub. Needless to say, the club descends into chaos with the ensuing carnage, offering us a look at some of the great make-up effects.
"Vampire films had been languishing since 1979's Love at First Bite, but it's safe to say that Fright Night injected new blood into the genre in much the same way that Hammer had in 1958 with Horror of Dracula, the first Technicolor vampire film and an acknowledged classic. The fact that Fright Night is comedy-horror doesn't dilute its truly frightening sequences, and it paved the way for bigger-budgeted Hollywood vampire epics such as The Lost Boys (1987), Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and Interview with the Vampire (1994)." ¹
[1] Bruce G. Hallenbeck, Comedy-Horror Films: A Chronological History (2009), McFarland
With Peter resuming his role as "Vampire Killer" in order to help Charley stop Jerry's reign of terror, there's a lot of action and laughs to be had. For those able to spot them, Fright Night is also infused with subtle themes of homosexuality and this is probably most evident when Holland introduces us to Billy Cole (Jonathan Stark), Jerry's live-in carpenter and daytime protector. The pair behave rather unusually as heterosexual when around each other. We also see Charley becoming obsessed with Jerry, despite Amy's obvious sexual interest in the boy. And what are we to make of McDowall's camp presence in the film? Despite the gay subtext, it's still very much a "guy's film", told from the male point of view, and I'm sure the presence of Playboy pin-up Heidi Sorenson didn't go unnoticed.
Together with a great soundtrack that features the theme song by The J. Geils Band and a score composed by Brad Fiedel, Fright Night is one of those fun films from the 80s that scared us as kids and thrilled us as teenagers later on – and still managers to do a little of both even now.

If you're on a tight wedding stationery budget, it's a good idea to consider one of the myriad stationers offering designs as a print-ready PDF. More and more online companies are offering this service, and it's a very wallet-friendly option if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and print your invites at home. How it usually works: After you choose a design, the stationer will customize the text with your wedding information, then email you a proof. Upon approval, you'll be emailed a print-ready file (usually a PDF), along with paper/cardstock guidelines. Then, you take the PDF and print the stationery directly from your home computer and printer.
This design—by one of my favorite online stationers, Up Up Creative—costs just $40 for the print-ready file. (You need to purchase your own cardstock separately.) The design was inspired by old book covers but is spiced up with bold, bright colors and modern type. If you're pressed for time and would rather have Up Up Creative print it for you, the price is $1 per save-the-date (includes envelopes).

Illustrated by hundreds of color photographs, NO WORRIES PARIS takes readers on a visually luscious journey along the city's striking monuments, as well as into crannies of its villages and the full-on glamour of the fashion districts. Virtually all of Paris is covered in 10 Walking Tours, each with its own map. Walks take from a half-day to a day to complete, starting at one Metro stop and ending at another. The tours are complemented by 10 Walk Arounds, which are shorter in length, taking in the sights of a single attraction more on the fringes of the city's arrondissements.
Practical travel tips and get-around information is included. Newcomers will most likely want to begin with monumental strolls. Francophiles may choose something more edgy and out-of-the-way. The common thread is that each walk is along a visually aesthetic pathway that has a story of its own to tell. Readers who want to get to know Paris by seeing it on foot—pausing occasionally for a gourmet taste, park bench timeout or perfumed sniff along the way— have found the right book.
No Worries Paris is available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Powell's Books, directly through the publishers (signed + discount) at Trailblazer Travel Books as well as your friendly independent bookstores nationwide.

Queensland Academy Creative Industries (QACI) — Control Co.
For the past year we have been working with Brandon's Electrical on site at QACI. They have had several Dynalite lighting issues that we have investigated and maintained for them.
One of the very first projects we had was a fault in a gallery room and other areas where lights weren't turning on. One of our senior technicians Greg attended the site and tested the touch screen to see if that was working correctly. He found that the network was operating okay. Further investigation was made and found that the controller was switched off. Greg then switched it back on and found it was failing due to many loads on the controller.
Back on site a few months later Greg found that some lights weren't turning on but found it was a keypad issue and not the controller, Greg recommended QACI to replace the keypad with a new one to prevent any further issues. QACI found it to be economic and beneficial to replace that keypad and authorised Greg to proceed.
Later in the year Greg attended a time clock issue which was found to be running too fast. This was causing lights to turn off too early. Greg went on site and reprogrammed the time clock so that it suited the requirements of QACI.
This year we have modified the controllers. This has included installing new ones , programming with the correct schedules and requirements of the facilities staff and tested before handed over to the facilities staff.
After the storms in early April QACI experienced problems with their computer server that controls their system. Greg informed them that it is an urgent issue that will require replacement as soon as possible to prevent further damage and issues. QACI once again were happy with the quote and entrusted us to install and program the system so no further damage occurs.
Our current job with QACI have been working on some lighting issues in stairways on the grounds. Greg attended the site and investigated the issue they were having with their Dynalite lighting system. It was found that QACI need a new controller in that area of the school.

What must organisations do to ensure they are inclusive of transgender and non-binary employees?
This personal account, told to HR magazine by secretary of the Parliamentary Forum on Gender Identity and founder of Trans Media Watch Helen Belcher, isn't unique. And such instances barely go recorded let alone reprimanded. In fact, discrimination, bias and gross misunderstandings are part and parcel of the issues transgender and non-binary employees face.
To categorise transgender and non-binary together can be part of the problem. The whole point of transitioning from one gender to another is, after all, to still be classified in a binary way.
But experts point to these individuals facing a similar set of challenges in workplaces not attuned to gender as more complex than what someone was 'born with'. And there are a similar set of solutions HR can deploy to tackle these challenges.
Recruitment is, for many, the first hurdle, with a staggering one third of employers less likely to hire someone who is transgender (and a baffling 43% 'unsure'), according to a report by Crossland Employment Solicitors. Meanwhile, one in eight transgender employees were physically attacked by customers or colleagues in the past year, a Stonewall survey noted in January.
So shocking is the discrimination many face that in 2017 a British transgender woman was granted residency in New Zealand on the grounds that it would be "unduly harsh" for her to return to the UK.
This all makes for shocking reading. But some progress is being made. While asserting that the T in LGBT+ is still often neglected in organisations' D&I strategies, programmes officer for Stonewall Scotland Phillippa Scrafton does see some change on the horizon. "I don't remember there ever being such a narrative as there is now," she says.
In part this narrative is building following the government's Summer launch of its consultation on reforming the Gender Recognition Act, which many hope will see the process of gaining legal recognition of their acquired gender easier. It's something Scrafton cites as a "good opportunity for organisations to understand more" and ensure their work environments are inclusive to transgender employees.
However, dispensing with paperwork isn't so straightforward for non-binary employees. For example, HMRC doesn't recognise non-binary people, which by default can trigger a lack of recognition from HR within the payroll process.
For Beverley Sunderland, managing director of Crossland Employment Solicitors, the most pertinent HR issue is that many functions still run off the back of outdated equal opportunities policies put in place long before the Equality Act was introduced, which then included gender reassignment as a protected characteristic.
Take the case involving Primark this year. A tribunal ruled that a transgender employee had been subjected to gender reassignment discrimination. Primark received recommendations that it adopt a written policy around dealing with transgender staff or those wishing to undergo gender reassignment, and to make references to transgender discrimination in its employee equality training materials.
"What I think happened here is that, because the Equality Act only came in in 2010, lots of employers have equal opportunity policies still in existence that don't reflect all the protected characteristics. They include things people remember like race, but they don't reference transgender employees and they absolutely should," says Sunderland.
Clearly policies play a big part in creating a trans-inclusive work environment. And these can come in many forms, from 'transitioning at work' policies to support staff intending to undergo gender transition, to zero-tolerance policies on transphobic harassment.
These are some of the things already on the agenda at law firm Pinsent Masons (which features on Stonewall's Top Trans-Inclusive Employers 2018 list). It has adopted a transgender equality policy, has added the prefix Mx alongside titles such as Ms and Mr on employee forms (removing titles altogether on many documents), and has taken a fine-tooth comb to the language used in its existing workplace policies. As the firm's head of responsible business Kate Fergusson explains, it's about "looking at all the processes and policies we have in place and making sure they're all inclusive from a gender identity and expression perspective".
These practical steps to better support transgender and non-binary employees are just one part of the picture though. To create a truly inclusive workplace, Scrafton reports that it should be "50/50" between the provision of practical support for transgender employees and educating the rest of the workforce.
It's a sentiment shared by Tina Drury, managing director of Your Homes Newcastle, a housing management association also ranked on Stonewall's list.
"It's a combination of the two as the culture of the organisation needs to ensure behaviour that discriminates or prejudices others isn't tolerated," she says.
The firm has made online training mandatory for all staff and new starters. "It isn't a comfortable module as it exposes unconscious bias, but it raises awareness as soon as people come on board," explains Alizon Carr, operational HR, lead specialist for Newcastle City Council, who worked with Drury on this.
For law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP), also on Stonewall's list, training and education must begin within the HR team itself. The firm groups HR's role in this agenda into the three buckets of policy, training and education, and broader awareness. BCLP's head of diversity and inclusion Justine Thompson explains how the second bucket has involved running masterclasses specifically for the HR team.
What it should be about, believes Carr, is accepting that mistakes may be made along the way.
"People are nervous about making mistakes or using the wrong language, but the important thing is acknowledging when you make a mistake and learning from it. It's OK to be nervous about having these conversations – we roleplay with managers sometimes to help them learn the right language for conversations. But what is not OK is just not addressing a situation or catering to the potential needs of an employee," she says.
This has been very much Pinsent Masons' approach. The fact the firm has no openly transgender employees hasn't stopped the team being proactive. With an estimated 1% of the population transgender, it's unlikely there aren't any trans people at the firm. So it's about being ready for the day when an employee does want to 'come out'.

She was very excited to be visiting her country after so many years of foreign education.
She was shocked by the very first look of her home from the road.
Her parents explained that it was a mistake by the government municipality authorities.
After their bulldozer accidentally razed a portion, they immediately apologized and gave them a gift to make amends!
Do you feel we can really make amends for our mistakes? Can a gift help someone to express apology? Do share in the comments below.
I'm surprised they even got a car from them! Not sure it will make amends though - might have to sell it to get the house fixed!
True, It would have been more acceptable if they fixed the damage and then gifted the car as a consolation.
I'm not sure a car is much consolation when your home as been destroyed. Nicely done.
Nice little story, Anita. I think they might have preferred a new house, rather than a car though!
A car wouldn't cut it for me - unless they rebuild the house too!
They only way to make amends would be to repair the damaged house. What a mess.
Can we make amends for our mistakes with a gift? I think it depends upon the heart. If we are genuinely sorry for the action, I guess a gift can help us express that contrition.
Well done, Anita, using your story to start a conversation!
A Smart car? No, it would have to be a Ferrari at least! Nice one.
Nope, the car doesn't do it for me, either. Nice one.
Government and bureaucracy, the two crumbling pillars on which our lives unfortunately depend.
Car is hardly a consolation!
Sorry... we killed your house, here have a car! Not quite sufficient, is it?
Governments are never held accountable for their actions. They're necessary but dangerous.
Nice and very cute story...!!

South Texas man accused of sexually assaulting children fostered nearly 200 girls
Filed under Crime at Oct 2017
Tom Steele, Breaking News Producer
Connect with Tom Steele
A South Texas man arrested on charges of sexually assaulting several foster children in the late 2000s fostered nearly 200 girls during that period, authorities say.
Miguel Briseno
(Bexar County Sheriff's Office)
"It's not a question about whether there are more" victims, Medina County Sheriff Randy Brown told the San Antonio Express-News. "It's just about how many."
Miguel Briseno, 58, was arrested Wednesday morning in Devine, about 35 miles southwest of San Antonio, as part of an operation by the Bexar County and Medina County sheriff's offices and the Texas Rangers.
Briseno faces three sexual-assault charges out of Bexar County and two out of Medina County.
Brown said more than 180 girls — sometimes up to 12 at once — stayed with Briseno while he had his foster-care license from 2005 to 2010.
An arrest-warrant affidavit indicates that the assaults occurred at homes, in a garage, in a van and at a Bexar County market, KSAT-TV reports. The victims were all teenagers.
One victim told a detective that she was "scared because this was her first foster home and didn't want to be removed to somewhere else," according to the San Antonio Current.
"Those girls were taken from some environment and then you have some [expletive] like him abusing these girls that already have troubles," Brown told the Express-News.
"I'm aggravated at the whole system," he continued. "I'm aggravated at the company that placed these girls. It was a money-making deal, the way they were running those girls through there like livestock. It wasn't about making a better world for them."
Child Protective Services did not comment on the company that placed the children with Briseno.

Brown said authorities are working to identify the scores of children that Briseno housed over the years.
"We don't know where they're at," he told the newspaper.
Briseno is being held at the Medina County jail, with bail set at $500,000.
Court records show that Briseno was arrested on a charge of solicitation to commit sexual assault of a child in Medina County in 2013. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and was sentenced to six months in jail.

Building Loving & Lasting Families
Understanding my teen child through the Five Dimensions
They used to hug us tight, plant their warm, wet kisses on our cheeks (or lips!), and declare that they loved us to the moon and back. Was it so long ago?
Today, we seem to be talking to the wall a lot more. Our same lovely kids, now much taller & heavier, are disagreeing with us even before we can complete our sentences! Or raising their voices at us for no apparent reason. Whatever happened to our wonderful little children?
To better understand this mystery, I attended the above talk on teens organized by the Family Enrichment Society.
Speakers Ms Sonia Aboud and Dr Audrey Tan did not disappoint. They took the audience through a very entertaining and enriching morning of reflection & discovery. With some help from Jeremy Duncan of the comic strip "Zits", and a few short engaging videos, both speakers took turns to deliver nuggets of great advice which the audience devoured hungrily.
First, they urged us to consider a new perspective on parenting our teens. Adolescence is not just about our kids growing up, it's also about US PARENTS growing and maturing together with them!
Research has shown that parents play a crucial role in the successful transition of young children into well-balanced and confident young adults. Adolescence is a challenging journey not only for the young person but also for the accompanying parents, who must adapt their parenting styles to the maturing teen.
The most effective parents have close and caring relationships with their adolescents where communication, help and support are key. Parental supervision and awareness of the young person's activities and friends is very important. Also crucial is parental involvement in the child's life – social and academic aspects, important matters and planning for the future. But the toughest call of all is to be good role models to our children, not preaching but practising the virtues we hope for them to develop.
In many circles, parents get overly fixated on the physical and social aspects of their adolescent's growth. The speakers helped us to see that there is much more than meets the eye.
Our child is like a 5-pointed star, with 5 equally important and interdependent dimensions (points): physical, social, emotional, rational and spiritual.
With great insight and a palpable love for young people, the speakers worked through each of the five dimensions in detail, defining what they each are, explaining what are normal changes parents can anticipate in each of these dimensions as a child goes through adolescence, why they occur and how we can best support our young ones through them all.
Let me share just one example in some detail, about how to help our children develop their concept of physical beauty…
All of us are to some extent influenced by what the media defines as beauty. Our teens are at that stage of life when they are most self-conscious about their changing bodies and are hence at especially high-risk of becoming fixated with certain ideas of what constitutes attractiveness.
We can help our teens break away from stereotypes of beauty by limiting their exposure to print and electronic media which perpetuate such stereotypes. Without appearing judgemental or excessively critical, we can talk to them about our views on such matters and our reasons. Let us remind our children that they have infinite value and dignity as persons which is not in any way tied up to their looks or their bodies.
The session ended with a brief introduction to sexuality, an often misunderstood subject. Sexuality is not just about sex. It is about what makes us male or female, and all of us manifest this male or femaleness in all 5 dimensions from birth. Differences between men and women as sexual beings are to be understood and celebrated. Sexuality is a great blessing because it allows us to experience love in its many forms. It is a powerful gift as it allows us to beget new life through love.
Sonia and Audrey had the audience hanging on their every word. The session had been packed with ideas and actionable steps. No one minded that it had ended a little late. In fact, our only regret was not having enough time for Q&A.
I can hardly wait for the next instalment on talking to the kids about the birds and the bees. It will no doubt be another very fruitful and enlightening session!
Sonia is a lawyer by training, and has a Masters in Family & Marriage Studies from the University of Navarre. She is a mother of 2 teens and 2 "tweens" and is currently the Faith Formation Coordinator and Counsellor at St Joseph's Institution International Elementary.
Audrey, an ophthalmologist by training and with a Masters in Marriage & Family Studies from the International University of Catalunya is currently the head coordinator of the HEART program. She has a teenage son.
Frances is a mother of 3 children, aged 11, 9 and 7 years. She divides her time between her kids, managing her husband's dental practice and practising paediatrics.
The Family Enrichment Society (FES) was founded in 1998 by a group of concerned parents who share the common goal of enhancing the state of society by educating the society's core unit which is the family. FES is a non-profit, private initiative that has been officially registered with the Registry of Societies on 3 April 1998 (with Registration No. ROS309/97 WEL).
Our mission statement is "to promote family values and the harmonious development of the relationship between the spouses and among parents, children and other components of the family unit."

Stormwater mismanagement in the gas fields
by Brent Gardner-Smith April 12, 2011 February 22, 2021

The state's Water Quality Control Division says a division of Williams natural gas company failed to take measures at a gas field construction site to keep dirt and mud from running down steep hills into a tributary of Parachute Creek, which flows into the Colorado River in Parachute.
On Nov. 1, 2010, state inspectors witnessed "erosion and sediment discharge from the disturbed area" of a Williams construction site on the Roan Plateau in Garfield County.
They found Williams "failed to prepare and maintain a complete and accurate stormwater management plan for the project." The project included building a road and installing a gas pipeline.
Such a plan is required, state inspectors said, "to identify all potential sources of pollution" that could affect stormwater runoff and select "best management practices" to address them.
They found Williams failed to adequately build water bars or did not properly place hay bales and straw waddles to effectively absorb sediment flowing in the muddy water running from the site.
"What was concerning to the department primarily with this project is there were a lot of disturbed areas where the dirt had been up torn up with heavy equipment," said Scott Klarich, manager of the state's Water Quality Control Division's enforcement unit, but Williams failed to take steps to prevent runoff or conduct required inspections after snow and rainstorms.
The site included a 50-foot-wide swath of disturbed dirt running for almost a mile across hills with no erosion control measures in place, inspectors said.
"Certainly on a site where you have not implemented any control measures to keep your sediment on your site, the likelihood of that off-site sediment transport, and environmental impacts, is greatly increased," Klarich said.
Williams' alleged failure to prevent muddy runoff is not an isolated incident in the gas fields. Eight stormwater violation cases are active with oil and gas companies working in Garfield County.
The Antero Resources Pipeline Corporation was recently handed a $148,000 penalty after the state inspected a pipeline project between Rifle and Silt in 2007. And the Petroleum Development Corp. paid $161,000 after inspectors found stormwater violations in 2008 on a road project 10 miles north of Parachute.
"Some of the regulated community isn't quite getting the message yet and needs to do a better job of implementing stormwater controls," Klarich said.
And mud running off a construction site can have negative environmental effects.
"Increased loading of that sediment by man-made or preventable activities just suffocates the bottom of a relatively sensitive creek or river bed, where very specific aquatic plants and animals live that aren't designed to live in mud, per se," Klarich said.
On March 16, the state's water quality division served Williams Production RMT Company LLC with a combination notice of violation and cease and desist order (below).
[documentcloud id="83822-williamsproduction-nov-cdo-3-16-11″]
Williams has until April 16 to respond and Klarich said under the state enforcement process, a violation notice and a cease and desist order represents a significant step.
"Once it gets to this level of action, it is a serious matter," Klarich said.
Williams spokeswoman Donna Gray said she couldn't comment because the case is under investigation.
Williams, which is a highly profitable company, does not have to stop drilling operations near Parachute Creek, but it does have to cease allowing runoff to occur in violation of its stormwater permit.
Fines of up to $10,000 a day can be levied against Williams, the nation's 10th-largest natural gas producer.

The state claims Williams violated its 2007 stormwater permit for a "planned disturbance" on 116 acres of land in Garfield County north of Parachute.
The permit gives Williams the right to discharge stormwater to Parachute Creek and the Colorado River, but it must minimize erosion and reduce runoff.
Williams started work under on June 28, 2008. On Nov. 1, 2010, inspectors visited the construction area and found "a lot of disturbed areas at the site that didn't have adequate or proper" mitigation measures in place, Klarich said.
Inspectors found a high wall of bare dirt beneath which Williams had placed only a single row of straw wattles – straw wrapped in mesh tubes – at the base of a 50 percent grade. Wattles are supposed to be placed in 10-foot intervals on the face of a steep dirt face.
At another part, areas of open dirt ran across steep hillsides with no protective measures in place, inspectors said, allowing sediment to fill the tributary.
Below that, a bare swath of dirt 50-feet wide and a third of a mile long over steep hills had no water bars in place.
State inspectors also found Williams' personnel had not been preparing adequate inspection reports of its stormwater measures.
The state's notice of alleged violation requires Williams to take immediate actions to limit runoff and improve inspections.
Klarich said he doesn't think anything has yet changed on the Williams construction site since the violation notice was issued on March 16.
"We have had discussions with Williams about their ability to implement site improvements, but it is still winter up there," Klarich said.
But he said it is important for Williams to address the issues before spring runoff comes to the Roan Plateau.

The army of splattered white work trucks, now a heavy presence on I-70, are evidence of the long dirt roads that are typical of the gas patch. And from public roads, it is easy to see drilling sites with high walls of dirt, often with only token measures in place to prevent runoff.
But on some drill sites, practices like the use of "geo-textiles" over carefully shaped walls of dirt are in place to limit runoff.
"There is no feasible way to contain and control all sediment transport from a project," Klarich said. "But we certainly hope that through proper implementation of best management practices and a thought-out development of a stormwater management plan, you are going to significantly decrease those to where the the measurable effects of that sediment transport is very minimal."
There are different levels of care in the gas fields. Here, a berm is being covered to reduce erosion.
Klarich said the state water quality control division inspects only about 10 percent of construction sites in the gas fields that have stormwater permits, and it doesn't review companies' stormwater plans before the permits are issued.
As a result, the oil and gas companies are initially on their own to adhere to state law and best practices when it comes to managing stormwater.
"We can't just rely on the limited resources offered to the government," he said. "Citizens and citizens' groups should be vigilant and actively paying attention to what is happening in their community as well."
That can be difficult in the Parachute Creek drainage however. Most drilling sites in the side canyons and the top of the small valley are behind gated entryways where the public is not allowed to pass.

Fedora is going to have a booth at the South-by-Southwest (SXSW) music, film, and interactive conference expo in Austin, TX in just a little over a couple of weeks now.
Why are we going? Well, our plan is on the Fedora wiki, but my main goal in attending is to promote free software to all of the designers (and developers, too!) that will be attending for the interactive conference, and hopefully even drum up in them some interest in getting involved themselves and help them get started.
We do not have enough designers in the free software community, and I believe we desperately need them. Are we going to find them at the Linux and free software-centric conferences we attend every year? Unless they're already a member of our community – no, probably not. Are we going to find them at SXSW? I believe so – a show like SXSW is a far more natural habitat for the folks we need!
'Creative Hands' image on Open Clip Art Library – I remixed it from Asrafil's 'Free Culture' design.
The idea here (I think it was originally Spot or Emily's idea) is to have a postcard we hand out at our booth, with four slots to be stamped on the back. The expo is four days long – March 14-17 – so the idea is that we'll have a different stamp for each of the four days. Folks who want to enter our contest for a sweet prize (TBD) will need to come by our booth each day to fill out their stamp cards to be eligible.
These are the designs for the stamps themselves.
We are going to have updated versions of the Fedora 14 Design Suite available as handouts at the booth. They'll have our highlighted apps and of course tons more pre-installed. With John Biebel's help, we figured out that they won't boot on newer Powerbooks, but Matthew Garrett helped us figure out a couple of workarounds to suggest for Mac-bearing folks who want to use the discs to try Fedora out.
We'd also considered putting together some discs with cross-platform installers for the free creative apps, but time and budget constraints led to us dropping that.
We wanted to have some type of sticker handout – from perusing folks' photos from previous SXSW events, stickers seem to be a really popular handout. So we made these little icons – I'd first seen this style of sticker at LGM in 2007 – that folks could stick on their badges to give a bit of their personality.
It seems most sticker vendors, first off, will not produce a sheet of multiple die-cut stickers – instead they want to do rolls of a single sticker design. So finding a vendor who could even do sheet-style stickers was rough. Then, when you get into vendors who can do sheets, many do a lot of business printing labels – for sticking on jars and various other form-factor products. The most popular (in the US) form factor for these label sheets to come in is 8 1/2″ x 11″ US Letter size sticker paper, and the vast majority of these vendors' dies seem to be made for this size paper. We wanted a small, easy-to-stow-away form-factor for our sticker sheets, no larger than 5″x7″. Not only would this cause die charges as most places don't already have dies for this, but it would cost a lot in paper since they'd have to cut down a full 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet to make one 5″x7″ish sheet. So the vendor we ended up with, Consolidated Label, is going to cut down each 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of 1″ diameter die-cut stickers into four smaller sheets for us. We'll actually end up cutting through two rows of unused die-cut circles to do this – but for about a third of the cost of getting the same number of sheets at the same size.
I hope they'll come out all right. They are a pretty serious vendor though; they do work with some pretty big, well-known clients. I was really, really happy when they called me to tell me a change needed to be made to the color of some of the text to make it more readable – I thought I was going to have to send them another draft of the file but they told me no need – the Scribus-produced PDF I sent them was apparently clean and easy-to-work-with and they were able to make the change for me.
P.S. I love this wallpaper. The birds by Emily look even better scaled down a bit like this. Hope this or very similar makes it to the final. Most professional/beautiful fedora wallpaper ever?
So this is cool! I'll be in Austin for SXSW, but I don't have tickets… so I probably won't be able to stop by. Unless those aren't required.
With this kind of spirit we are going to rock the place in LGM too !
Hi Dylan, thanks for the reference anyway! If you can think of other fonts to highlight let me know and I'll be happy to blog them and file requests for them!
This is really exciting! I love your initiative and hope you will have a great response on SXSW.
This is brilliant stuff. I hope SXSW is a huge success for Fedora. Thanks for doing all the legwork to make that a possibility!
Glad to hear Fedora's going to SXSW.
If you have the time, I'd enjoy seeing a blog post on your thoughts about the greater Linux / open source community's issues with attracting designers and the other design issues that affect the community, e.g. too many cooks, inconsistent UIs, beta-quality software in the repos, etc.

Citizens of Whitesboro, New York will hit the polls Monday, January 18 to vote on whether to change an off-putting village seal that depicts a white settler strangling a Native American. Voters will have eight to ten options to choose from if they decide to change the seal.
Whitesboro officials kicked off the New Year by sending out postcards to the village's 3,000 residents, alerting them of the vote.
There has been this nationwide controversy over the logo. Surrounded by the town's name, the round logo at the heart of the controversy shows two men grappling against a grassy horizon.
The man with the upper hand, so to speak, has chalk-white skin and flowing hair. His mouth is clenched in determination, and he is wearing tan garments.
The dark-skinned man in his grasp is not wearing a shirt but has a feather in his close-cropped hair.
His mouth is open in anguish, and he seems ready to collapse. The seal has changed from several years ago so that the settler's hands are on the Indian's shoulders and not his neck.
The logo dates back to at least the 1900's. Tand in the original version depicts the White man's hands placed on the neck of the Native American. In the 1970's the village was sued over the depiction by an Indian group, which found it offensive. The seal was changed so that it did not imply strangling.
Whitesboro's demographic makeup makes the name of the town sound realistic. City-data.com says 94.3 percent of the village's 3,735 residents in 2013 were white, with only five Native American residents.
Whitesboro has had a large white percentage in the community since the 1900's. The name, however, is derived not from its racial composition, but from its founder Hugh White, who settled in the area in 1784.
The Sandy Springs, Georgia- native went on to say that the logo promotes racism.
Rhymes who is of Native American decent feels insulted by Whitesboro's logo. She said if she were a citizen in Whitesboro, she would vote to change the logo to a more family-oriented, positive image. The seal is displayed on village stationary, police cars and the village website, among other places.

No. 13 Indiana rolls over SIU-Edwardsville 83-60
By Corey Elliot, Associated Press | Posted - Dec. 2, 2016 at 8:53 p.m.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana coach Tom Crean doesn't have a timetable for OG Anunoby's return from a sprained ankle.
For now, the 13th-ranked Hoosiers are going to have to step up and even overcompensate on some nights to make up for the absence of one of their biggest playmakers. On Friday night, it was Juwan Morgan who answered the call.
"Juwan rebounded for two tonight," Crean said. "He came out and brought it. When you take OG (Anunoby) out of the lineup, you take so much athleticism, versatility, you take shooting, take the rebounding, the defense out. I thought our guys tried to do a really good job of making up for that. And Juwan did even more there."
Morgan scored a career-high 18 points on 8-for-8 shooting and finished with 10 rebounds, De'Ron Davis scored 14 points and Indiana rolled to an 83-60 victory over SIU-Edwardsville.
The Hoosiers didn't start the game firing on all cylinders. Indiana (6-1) didn't make its first basket until 16:12 remaining in the first half, missing its first eight attempts. Trailing 4-0, the Hoosiers shook off the slow start when Zach McRoberts hit a 3-pointer from the corner that ignited Indiana. The Hoosiers would finish the final 15 minutes of the half outscoring SIU-Edwardsville 40-17.
Led by Morgan, the Hoosiers' efforts on the glass eliminated opportunities for SIU-Edwardsville (4-4) to score second chance points. Indiana grabbed 30 defensive rebounds. Indiana's 15 offensive rebounds led to the Hoosiers outscoring the Cougars 17-5 in second-chance points. But the Hoosiers' second chance points opportunities were non-existent if Morgan was shooting the ball. The sophomore didn't miss all night, making each of his eight shot attempts and the only 3-pointer he attempted.
"I feel like I'm scratching the surface," Morgan said. "I think just mentally I've been thinking too much about shooting, things like that. My teammates look to give me the ball. And I look to have big games. But it was just a good night for us as a team."
Indiana molded the rest of the basketball game around an aggressive rebounding effort, ball movement and its depth. The Hoosiers dominated the glass, outrebounding the Cougars 45-31. Indiana's offense revolved around ball movement, as 15 of Indiana's 28 field goals came by way of an assist with nine Hoosiers recording at least one assist.
And the Hoosiers bench outscored SIU-Edwardsville's 34-12.
Burak Eslik finished with 18 points for SIU-Edwardsville. SIU-Edwardsville coach Jon Harris was familiar with Crean having played for and coached with Crean while he was at Marquette. Harris called Friday night's loss, where the Hoosiers led by as many as 33 points, disappointing.
"There's a reason why they are ranked No. 13 in America," Harris said. "(Indiana is) a great team. I really think they're a high level offensive team. We let them get going and that was the difference and the separation early (in the game)."
BIG PICTURE: Anunoby watched the Hoosiers' victory from the bench, where he sat in a walking boot. He used crutches when he entered and exited the court from the locker room. He sprained his right ankle during the Hoosiers' 76-67 win over No. 3 North Carolina on Wednesday. On Friday night, Crean told reporters he does not believe the ankle sprain is a long-term injury that could keep Anunoby out well into Indiana's conference schedule, despite not having a definitive timetable on Anunoby's return.
POLL IMPLICATIONS: After a thrilling victory over No. 3 North Carolina on Wednesday night, Indiana will have two weeks before it plays a ranked opponent, when Indiana takes on No. 18 Butler at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
SIU-Edwardsville hosts Stetson on Wednesday.
Indiana hosts Southeast Missouri State on Sunday.

Q: PHP Insert an ad div after every 5 rows results How could I go about inserting a div after every fifth row on result page?
I have a script that displays 15 rows from a database in every pagination.
This my entire script
<?php
    $sql = "SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table";
    $query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query);

    // Here we have the total row count
    $rows = $row[0];
    $page_rows = 15;

    $last = ceil($rows/$page_rows);

    if($last < 1){
        $last = 1;
    }

    $pagenum = 1;

    if(isset($_GET['pn'])){
        $pagenum = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', '', $_GET['pn']);
    }

    if ($pagenum < 1) {
        $pagenum = 1;
    }
    else if ($pagenum > $last) {
        $pagenum = $last;
    }

    // This sets the range of rows to query for the chosen $pagenum
    $limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows;

    $sql = "SELECT id, fname, image_text, address, contact, price, image FROM table WHERE fname LIKE '%".$search."%' $limit";
    $query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);

    $textline1 = "table ($rows)";
    $textline2 = "Page $pagenum of $last";

    // Establish the $paginationCtrls variable
    $paginationCtrls = '';

    // If there is more than 1 page worth of results
    if($last != 1){

        if ($pagenum > 1) {
            $previous = $pagenum - 1;
            $paginationCtrls .= 'Previous 	    ';

            for($i = $pagenum-3; $i < $pagenum; $i++){
                if($i > 0){
                    $paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.' 	  ';
                }
            }
        }

        $paginationCtrls .= ''.$pagenum.'   ';

        for($i = $pagenum+1; $i <= $last; $i++){
            $paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.'	   ';
            if($i >= $pagenum+3){
                break;
            }
        }

        if ($pagenum != $last) {
            $next = $pagenum + 1;
            $paginationCtrls .= '     Next	 ';
        }
    }
    $list = '';
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
?>

                    <img  src="img/<?php echo $row['image']; ?>" alt="No Image">

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>"/>
                    <?php echo $row['fname']; ?>

<?php echo $row['image_text']; ?>

<?php echo $row['address']; ?>

                                <?php echo $row['contact']; ?>
                                <?php echo $row['price']; ?>

<?php   }
?>

I want to able to put an ad div in every 5 rows something like this "

 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>

 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>
 <row> content </row>

Can anyone assist me as to how could I set up the PHP script that will allow me to count the rows returned and after every certain number of rows , insert an ad script? Or is there a way to do this within rows itself?

A: You can use modulus operator,
$count = 1;
while{
   if($count % 5 == 0)
      echo '

';

   $count++;
}

A: Just add a count variable to count till 5 and then reset to zero inside your loop.
$count=0;
while{
      echo "<row> content </row>";
      $count++;
      if($count>=5)
      {
        echo "

";
        $count=0;
      }
    }


Passive Housing is about creating a well-insulated and well-sealed home.
On the surface, this seems like a simple enough concept to implement for the average Australian home. However, it almost never achieved in practice, with Adelaide falling far behind the rest of Australia in energy efficient home construction.
Passive housing has become far more common in Europe and North America and builds upon their already superior building standards and laws.
While Australia overall is left behind on the world stage, some suppliers and builders have recognised how well built their houses are and there is a slow shift in the industry starting to appear, which is good news for some of the future Adelaide homeowners.
Why does proper insulation give me a better, more comfortable home?
Insulation controls the energy transfer between the inside of your home and the outside climate. When a home is insufficiently insulated, or the insulation is poorly installed, it allows the heat or cold to pass through the walls, windows and roof and into your home.
In Australia, insulation is measured with an 'R-value', where the higher the R-Value, the better insulated a wall, roof or slab is. A new home in Australia typically uses ~R2.5 Batts in the wall frames and ~R5 insulation batts in the roof.
On paper, these numbers are designed to be practical and energy efficient for our climate zone and help achieve a '6 Star' Energy rating. However, the batts themselves are installed between timber studs, and a 10mm gap between the batts and the studs can decrease the effectiveness of the insulation by up to 40%.
The above pictures, taken on a cold morning with a thermal lens, exhibit two homes: One built with a quality ICF product, with thermal mass sandwiched between continuous, unbroken, insulation and another, built with timber studs and insulation in between.
It becomes quite clear to see the heat energy leaking through the frames and to the outside. Passive housing focuses on not just achieving appropriate R-Values, but minimising or eliminating insulation gaps and thermal bridging.
The Passive house approach combines well-insulated roof area and walls, with high quality double and triple glazing and a building practice that minimises or eliminates thermal bridging. This ensures that your home in the city of Adelaide, is both designed and built to withstand the hot and cold outside temperatures, creating a home that is warm in winter, cool in summer, naturally.
Furthermore, this home building approach will be a great relief for the homeowners with huge energy savings to tackle the high electricity charges in South Australia.
Looking for a home designed to get better energy performance from design and materials?

From the bestselling creator of Skippyjon Jones, a heartwarming story about the importance of imagination and creativity.
Sarabella is always thinking—conjuring, daydreaming, and creating new worlds from her imagination. There is so much going on in her head that it can barely be contained. But there are times when daydreaming is decidedly not a good thing—like when you're supposed to be doing multiplication tables. Luckily, Sarabella has an understanding teacher and with his encouragement She comes up with her own idea to show everyone who she is.
Best known for her Skippyjon Jones series, Judy Schachner has illustrated many of her own stories, including the much-loved The Grannyman and its companion book, Bits & Pieces. She has also illustrated stories by others, including I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson and How the Cat Swallowed Thunder by Lloyd Alexander. She lives in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
"This gentle book provides support for every child who daydreams in school and a wake-up call for her or his teachers. . . . A lovely celebration of creativity and a different learning style."
"More than a tribute to a child's imagination . . . A tender, sensitive tribute to those introspective students in a classroom, who don't always quite fit the standard educational mold—a welcome thing, indeed."
