What are the advantages of having raised garden beds? Gardeners find them easy to work with and easy to maintain plus they can increase your harvest.
We have utilized the concept of raised garden beds for many years, but why are raised garden beds becoming so popular? Well, they do have great advantages for lots of backyards.
How appealing is growing and harvesting your next meal, or picking a bouquet of flowers without bending down, don't you just love the idea that raised garden beds to allow you to do your planting, weeding and harvesting in a much more comfortable position. This will help guard against backaches which can sometimes deter you in your endeavors to supply the family with fresh quality produce but it's also a great idea for people with disabilities or reduced mobility.
To be successful with growing vegetables or flowers of any kind you have to provide certain growing conditions; how many times have you been advised that to increase harvest and raise good quality, healthy plants you must ensure the soil is well prepared with lots of organic matter, be loose, fertile, and well draining with a certain pH level?
Now with raised garden beds, you have an advantage because you can provide the optimum conditions much more easily. The soil conditions can be controlled more effectively in the different raised garden beds as you add exactly what you need to suit particular plants. Remember the value of a Soil Test Kit which will eliminate the guesswork.
You can easily supply loose, well-draining soil as you won't be walking on it and compacting it. Root crops, such as carrots, will do particularly well as there will be no stones to hinder their growth.
A good point to make here is that because you don't have to leave spaces to walk, plants can be grown closer together, and this, in turn, reduces weeding, well how good is that! However, plants tend to grow more vigorously in raised garden beds so make sure you leave enough room for them.
Water, compost, mulch, and fertilizers can be applied much more economically and won't be washed away.
As the soil is above ground level they tend to warm up quicker in the spring and stay warmer later in the fall which can increase your harvest.
Another advantage is that they are a great deterrent for pests such as slugs and snails.
Taking account all these advantages it's quite conceivable that raised garden beds could almost double your harvest.
You are spoilt for choice when it comes to raised garden beds, there are wooden ones, steel ones, concrete, etc; big ones, small ones. With choices of shape, color, and height you can certainly find one to blend in with any type of landscape.

Trapiche project corresponds to the advanced exploration stage which is thought to be a part of various porphyry copper deposits occurring in the margin of Andahuyalas-Yauri metallogenic belt. This deposit is genetically related to the monzonitic porphyry intrusion and Oligocene breccia pipe. Mineralization consists of primary sulfides such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, and molybdenite and secondary sulfides such as chalcocite, covellite and digenite. It occurs malachite, tenorite and cuprite as copper oxide. As a result of lixiviation or enrichment process, mineralization shows untypical zonation structure. Breccia and porphyry areas characterize the vertical zonation patterns. In the northern area, lixiviation zone, secondary enrichment zone, transitional zone and primary mineralized zone are distributed in northern area. In the western area of deposit, oxidation zone and mixed zones are narrowly occurred. Inferred resources of deposit is estimated to be 920 Mt @ 0.41% Cu with the cut-off grade of 0.15%.

5 months after Michael, Georgia farmers still wait for action in D.C.
Continuing Coverage: Hurricane Michael Aftermath
Greg Bluestein
Tamar Hallerman, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
TIFTON —
The farmers had arrived before Gov. Brian Kemp, wearing work boots, jeans and heavy jackets to brace from the biting cold snap outside that posed the latest threat to their crops.
Between the 100 or so growers gathered in the crowded Tifton auditorium, there were tens of millions of dollars in failed or damaged crops, a small fortune vanished in the wake of Hurricane Michael.
And five months after the storm's sudden turn brought violent winds and pounding rains through Georgia's agricultural heartland, growers are still waiting for additional federal relief dollars promised by everyone from President Donald Trump on down.
"Planting season is here, and on behalf of all these farmers in the room, I want to say something," said Armond Morris, a Tift County row crop farmer and an elder statesman in the ag industry.
"The banks haven't been paid. The farming supply businesses haven't been paid. We have chaos down here and we can't help it," he said. "I want you to realize the urgency we have."
He needn't have reminded Georgia officials. The state's leaders have made securing that emergency assistance money their most urgent priority in Congress, pressed on by Kemp and Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black.
And the gathering Tuesday in Tifton was meant as both an update and a show of support. Black and Kemp came in by helicopter, while video feeds of U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue – along with several local members of the House of Representatives – were piped in from Washington.
As each addressed a crowd of impatient farmers, they apologized for the delays and vented about the sluggish pace of disaster recovery legislation.
"Now is the time to put political bickering to the side and get our folks some help," Kemp said. "The timing could not have been worse. It's vital we move quickly. We know that you can't keep waiting."
But he and other powerful Georgians are coming face to face with a cold Capitol Hill reality: the glacial pace of business in the U.S. Senate, where the legislation is currently parked. And they're running out of excuses for fed-up farmers.
"I know these people. We go to church with them. I've been telling them since October help is coming, and I honestly don't know what to tell them anymore," U.S. Rep. Austin Scott, a Tifton Republican, said at a recent Capitol Hill hearing.
"It feels like a broken promise back home to the people when we just keep saying help is coming," he said.
'Our day in court'
So far, the strongly written letters and arm-twisting appeals have only made so much headway.
There's no formal opposition to the $13.6 billion disaster recovery legislation introduced in the Senate last week by Perdue and Isakson. And Majority Leader Mitch McConnell recently called the situation "a genuine emergency" that demanded federal action.
Despite those assurances, and the apparent support of Trump, it could still take weeks for Congress to finalize an aid package for farmers and infrastructure repair.
The legislation was designed by the Georgia Republicans to woo Democrats, with $610 million for Puerto Rico's nutrition programs, which will run dry at the end of March.
A feud over that money was the tripping point that led negotiators to strip all disaster relief from a broader funding measure last month. That allowed Congress to avoid a second government shutdown in as many months — but it left Georgia lawmakers seething that they were blindsided by the snub.
Despite their Puerto Rico olive branch, Perdue and Isakson's latest legislative effort is still the subject of intense horsetrading with Democratic leaders, whose support is needed to pass the bill through both chambers of Congress.
Some Democrats have quietly expressed preference for the version of the measure passed by their House counterparts during the January shutdown. The House bill includes a half-billion dollars for climate resiliency projects, tens of millions for Medicaid assistance for the Northern Mariana Islands and — perhaps most significantly — a broader commitment for cleaning up storm damage in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Still, Isakson has been upbeat about the bill's prospects. Senators were pitching unrelated items they wanted to add to the legislation on Wednesday — which the three-term Republican saw as a sign that passage was almost inevitable — and McConnell committed to scheduling a floor vote by the last week of March.
"I feel real good that we're getting everything done," Isakson said Wednesday afternoon. "The fact that we're all talking is significant progress."
It's coming at a pivotal time for the agriculture industry. Many farmers already feel shellacked by new tariffs and years of low international commodity prices, and the late-winter freeze could threaten blueberries and other crops in the field.
The University of Georgia estimated that the state's agriculture sector suffered more than $2.5 billion in losses from Hurricane Michael alone.
With another planting season near, some stretched-thin growers can't secure operating loans this year, said Adam Rabinowitz, a UGA agricultural economist.
"At a time when commodity prices continue to stay at low levels and uncertainty around trade and tariffs have also depressed prices," he said, "it's a major challenge for some farmers to plan for 2019 crops without assistance."
That's been the case Georgia lawmakers have made in the House in urging their colleagues to accept an expected Senate compromise.
"Time is of the essence. Farmers have got to plant," said U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, whose southwest Georgia congressional district was slammed by the storm. "They've got to make sure that arrangements are made for last year's operational loans to be satisfied so that lenders will know what will be coming forward so that everybody can make plans."
'Time for help now'
For Kemp, who won November's election by dominating farm country, the funding crisis has become personal. He has tucked it into every speech he makes, slipped it into every conversation he has with federal officials.
When Trump called him Monday to check how the state was coping with the violent burst of tornadoes that tore into rural west Georgia counties, Kemp used it as another opportunity to press his case for the emergency money.
"I feel like if we can get a bill passed and get it to him, he'll sign it," Kemp told the farmers, adding that Trump has "some frustrations" that lawmakers were discussing broader Puerto Rico language.
"I understand that," Kemp said. "But I told him that 'you, and the VP and (Agriculture) Secretary Perdue have all come down here, and those folks are counting on you.' "
The crowd in Tifton was polite and appreciative, and many thanked Black and Kemp for leaving Atlanta amid the General Assembly session to meet in person. But they also wanted to make sure the politicians knew they were exhausted and exasperated by the delays.
Rex Bullock of Wilcox County sounded skeptical that the aid would trickle down quickly to farmers. David Bishop, a Hawkinsville farmer, worried that even when the federal spigots open it will be "hard to get a real benefit for the losses we've had."
And Morris vented about the long-term damage from the storm on the psyche of the community. He's farmed cotton, pecans, timber and peanuts across southwest Georgia for decades, and though his land was not directly in Michael's path, he still lost about half his cotton yield.
As he talked, he pointed to faces in the crowd that lost far more than he did: vegetable farmers whose harvests were ruined, thick timber forests obliterated, pecan growers uncertain whether to plant again.
"Just look around this room. Everyone in here is having problems," he said. "It's been five months and it's time for help now."

I am traveling to Turkey next week and there will be 5 months and 3 weeks on my passport at the time of departure. My passport was only valid for a year. I am traveling to Turkey for 3 days from the UK.
I understand that the website explains I need 6 months on the passport, but some others have said that this has changed and I should be okay.
Getting a new passport is not possible as I am not eligible for the one day service.
According to the UK Gov site you need a minimum of 6 months on your passport on the day of your arrival in Turkey and 3 months on the date of your departure. Check with a travel agent if you think this has changed, don't think it has it is just the visa requirements that are changing in April.They do scan passports nowadays so if you do need 6 months it may well be picked up.

I understand 6 months as well so they may well refuse entry.
Thanks guys. Spoke with the Consulate and they just said "The website says you need 6 months, we can't say whether or not you'll be granted entry".
I plan on trying to get out there anyway and hope they apply common sense as I am only visiting for 3 days to watch a football match out there.
This happened to my daughter. I called the airline in the airport and was told that this is very outdated information and they now all use the same book of guidelines. She looked it up for me and told me that to enter Turkey you now only need to have a passport valid until you return. To be more sure myself I rang 2 other airlines and they told me exactly the same thing and also that the airlines are very heavily fined if they allow someone on a flight without the correct amount of time left.
We had no problems at all as didnt my mum when she came in November. I know several people personally and also several more that have asked the same question on TLF and to my knowledge no one has had a problem.
Thankyou very much Alison, good to hear something positive back. I spoke to BA who told me to go online and use a service to check if your passport is valid and it said that it was. Contradictory to all other information available on the web. I shall try and give a couple of other airlines a call and find out.
Hi All, I was advised by British Airways to check their website which has a link to the IATA. On their website, you are able to enter your passport details in which checks against the 'Timatic' database.
"Timatic is the database containing cross border passenger documentation requirements. It is used by airlines to determine whether a passenger can be carried, as well as by airlines and travel agents to provide this information to travellers at the time of booking. This is critical for airlines due to fines levied by immigration authorities every time a passenger is carried who does not have the correct travel documentation."
It has come back as being valid. So it looks all good, it does seem that this may be something that has changed recently as the IATA seem confident in all information being up to date and correct.

As a matter of interest what game you going to see?


Snacking is totally something that can help you with weight loss. Having a bite to eat every three to four hours (as registered dietitians recommend) will leave you feeling clearheaded, satisfied, and more likely to make smart food choices. But as helpful as snacking can be for weight loss, it's also easy to overdo, and little mistakes you might not even realize you're making could be getting in the way of your goals.
If you want to use snacking to help you lose weight, it's first important to acknowledge that weight loss is different for everyone. If you have a history of disordered eating, you may want to talk to your doctor before switching up any of your eating habits, even if it's just the way you snack.
Keep in mind, too, that your eating habits aren't the only thing that may affect how you lose weight. Exercise, stress levels, sleep habits, and health issues can make the process vastly different from person to person; reach your goals in a way that's healthy for you.
If you do want to use snacking to help you stay on track with your weight loss goals, these are the seven most common sneaky mistakes to be on the lookout for.
"Too much of any food is a bad thing, even if it's healthy," Lindsey Pine, M.S., R.D., owner of Tasty Balance Nutrition, tells SELF. Foods like nuts, jerky, seeds, cheese, and dried fruit are all considered healthy snacks, but if you eat too many of them, the calories, sodium, and sugars are going to stack up just as they would with an unhealthy snack.
But it's not just those high-calorie healthy snacks you should be careful with. Pine explains that it's possible to overdo anything, even a low-calorie vegetable like broccoli. "If you're eating many cups of broccoli and you're not used to that much fiber, you could actually end up constipated," she says.
Instead of freely eating any of these kinds of snacks, try portioning them out during Sunday-night meal prep to meet your daily calorie budget. That way, when you grab one of your snack packs, you know you're eating just the right amount.
2. You opt for organic snacks because you think they're healthier.
"Many snack products also have a health halo surrounding them," Pine explains. What she means is that often, certain products seem healthier than others because they're labeled "organic" or "gluten-free." But just because a food has one of these healthy-seeming labels doesn't mean you're free to eat as much of it as you like. In many cases, these foods have just as much added sugar, calories, and sodium as nonorganic or similarly unlabeled foods. Basically, whichever snack you're reaching for, organic or not, remember to enjoy it in moderation.
3. You're eating something that won't satisfy you.
If you find yourself consistently overdoing those healthier snacks, you may want to reconsider how you put your food together. Eating something that's high in protein and nothing else—like, say, a piece of jerky or string cheese—won't satisfy you as much as a well-rounded bite that also contains fiber and complex carbs. Together, those three nutrients keep you satiated, focused, and energized, so try to reach for snacks that contain that balance. For example, Pine likes to pair a piece of jerky with something like a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts, like a healthier charcuterie platter.
4. You always take a snack break…even when you're not really hungry.
On the other hand, if you do get hungry before your designated snack time, eat right then. Don't wait until you're absolutely starving to have some food, otherwise you might end up eating more than you intended.
5. You're snacking straight out of the bag.
When you're reaching freely into a bag of nuts, it's harder to keep track of how many you've eaten, and, according to a 2005 study from Cornell University, the larger the snacking vessel, the more you'll be inclined to eat. If this is an issue for you, Pine suggests a simple fix: Portion out your grub before you dig in. Even consider making a bunch of desk-friendly preportioned snack packs during your weekly meal prep sesh.
6. Your pre- or postworkout snack is too big.
Generally you want to make sure you're fueled for a workout, either with the help of a pre- or postworkout snack. These snacks will give you the energy you need to make it through your workout, and the nutrients you need to fully recover afterward. You just want to be careful that you're not making them too big.
Most dietitians recommend eating something in the 100- to 250-calorie range, especially for lower intensity workouts, but, again, this will vary depending on your level of hunger. Eat what feels right to your body.
7. Or it doesn't pack the right nutrients.
It's not just the calories that you should consider with postworkout snacks. The combo of nutrients will change with each different workout, too. Before or after cardio, you'll want to eat a higher ratio of carbs to protein, because carbs give you energy and help restore the glycogen stores you've used up. Before or after strength training, you'll want to reach for something higher in protein than carbs, because protein helps repair your muscles.


Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's baby boy Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi has become the talk of the town and everything about him is mostly being projected as controversy. From his name to his fake pictures, Taimur is the youngest celeb to be trolled on social media.
And while everybody is busy criticizing various things about the baby, Kapoor and Pataudi clans are super excited and happy with this new addition to their family. When Taimur was born, Saifeena's fans and friends from the industry took to social media and congratulated the couple and within no time #TaimurAliKhanPataudi started trending on the internet.
The royal baby will soon fly to Europe with parents Saif and Kareena to spend some memorable family time together. In fact, everything about Saifeena's baby is royal in its own way and Junior Nawab's nursery is one such example. Designed by Ritakshi Arora, the crib is all white and that specially designed Pataudi crest on it, makes it a royal treat to look at.
Also, when people were debating over his name, the couple chose not to react on the controversy. But their friends and family came out in support and said that it is nobody's business.
I am very private about my personal life always and because I am a believer that even though public people are for public consumption, there is a part of their life which makes them human and makes them personal. And I definitely think it is no one's business what a family decides to do and what happens within the 4 walls of their house. It is such a wonderful moment and he is such a beautiful baby and he already has Kareena's pout. I am very excited for both Saif and Bebo. And the child is going to be a Prince and people need to focus on that.
This statement from Priyanka proves that she truly stands by what's right and we are eagerly waiting to see pictures of PeeCee with Taimur. On the work front, the actress will next be seen playing a negative role in her first Hollywood flick Baywatch.

Start-up's eye in sky spots potential harm to the farm
07 April 2019 - 00:01 PENELOPE MASHEGO
A South African tech start-up is tapping into the crop-protection industry, using drone technology to help farmers zero in on pests and other disease-related problems affecting their crops. Aerobotics, a company founded by CEO James Paterson and chief technology officer Benjamin Meltzer in 2014, has grown from a home-based business to a company operating in 13 countries, where it offers its drone service to the vine and fruit & nut sectors, estimated to be worth $50bn (R707bn) a year. Flying 60m to 80m above a field, the drone uses technology similar to facial recognition to identify pests and diseases on vines and trees. It then alerts the farmer. Paterson and Meltzer started the company at Paterson's childhood home in Stellenbosch. "I'm an aeronautical engineer, so I love drones. I've been building drones for many years," said Paterson, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Initially the commercial drones that we were using [bought from drone manufacturers] wer...

Ma'am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret
by Craig Brown.

You need to be over seventy now to remember the awful thrill of the announcement: 'I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend.' For the older generation, Princess Margaret was the unlucky princess. She was our Diana: capricious, passionate, vindictive, doomed to fall in love with rotters, the breakaway royal who hung out with actors and rogues and who was frozen out by a cold-hearted court, finding contentment only in her hospital work and her two children. Both princesses loved the ballet, too, as though the only real freedom lay in the dance. There was a Princess Margaret Set, just as the Prince Regent had the Carlton House Set, Edward VII had the Marlborough House Set, and Edward VIII had the Fort Belvedere Set: three playboys, only one playgirl.
Princess Margaret, followed by Peter Townsend, in 1953.
It is 15 years since she died, and memories of her are not as sharp as they were. Which makes Craig Brown's enterprise not only a marvellous freak of literature but a matchless summoner of our yesterdays. It is a collage, montage or bricolage of glittery bits culled from two hundred biographies, authorised and unauthorised, written by cashiered gossip columnists and treacherous butlers and chauffeurs, plus odds and ends such as the complete transcript of the princess's Desert Island Discs and the catalogue of her jewellery, sold after her death for £9 million.
The effect is like one of those sweeping Klimt portraits, in which the comet trail of colourful fragments leaves a lasting, wistful impression of an era on the skids. The book is extremely funny and extremely sad. As Brown says towards the end of it, 'It is Cinderella in reverse. It is hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled. Nothing is as thrilling as they said it would be; no one is as amusing, as clever, as attractive or as interesting.'
You feel the sadness all the more not because the princess is such an endearing character but because most of the time she is so ghastly and ghastly in a way that brings out the worst in other people. As time goes by, being ghastly is so much expected of her that it becomes her party piece. She specialises in insulting her hosts' every effort to entertain her. In this regard she isn't snobbish. She is just as rude about the rare 1836 Madeira that Lord Carnarvon pours her – 'exactly like petrol' – as she is about the coronation chicken served her at the opening of some sheltered bungalows in Derbyshire: 'This looks like sick.'
In other respects, her snobbery can reach baroque levels. When her husband nearly sets fire to her dress (on purpose) and says, 'Good thing too, I hate that material,' HRH retorts: 'Material is a word we do not use. We call it stuff.' Other forbidden expressions include 'scrambled eggs' (should be 'buttered eggs') and 'placement' (should be 'place à table'). She detested her grandmother, Queen Mary, who had deluged her with presents, and claimed that she suffered from an inferiority complex because she had been born only a serene, not a royal highness.
At first nights, she seldom fails to tell the producer or director how much she loathed the show. To Robert Evans, producer of Love Story, at the Royal Command Performance of the film: 'Tony saw Love Story in New York. Hated it.' When Dennis Main Wilson says, 'Ma'am, I have the honour to produce a little show called Till Death Us Do Part,' she cuts down his faux modesty with: 'Isn't that that frightfully dreary thing in the East End?' At the end of Carousel at the National Theatre, Richard Eyre escorts her to the door: 'I'm glad you enjoyed the show.' 'I didn't, I can't bear the piece.'
She was just as rude and inconsiderate in private, late to arrive and even later to leave which meant that nobody else could leave either, because she was a stickler for protocol, despite her pretence of informality. She insisted on chain-smoking through every meal, ashing out on her neighbour's plate or person. Like her father, grandfather and great-grandfather, she was a suicidal smoker. At the sale of her effects, Brown counts no less than 37 cigarette-related gilded gewgaws. Having never been to school, not even sharing with her sister in tutorials on constitutional history from the provost of Eton, she was ignorant on most subjects outside the performing arts, but never hesitated to plonk down her opinions.
Yet throughout her life, the glitterati and literati were gagging to meet her, and despite her rudeness kept on coming back for more. Knowing that she was on the Aga Khan's yacht moored below the windows of the villa in Sardinia where he was staying, Cyril Connolly was desperate to clamber aboard, saying that not to meet the Snowdons was 'like being in the Garden of Eden without seeing God'. Marlon Brando persuaded Kenneth Tynan to ask her to dinner à trois and then was so tongue-tied that he couldn't address a word to her except through Tynan: 'Would you ask the princess what she thinks of …' Tynan himself wanted to postpone his daughter's birthday party until Princess Margaret was back in town. The TV interviewer Russell Harty on his deathbed had his tracheotomy tube removed, in order to be able to tell Alan Bennett that the princess had asked how he was, twice.
Every celebrity seems to have fantasised about sex with the princess. Eddie Fisher claimed that he had had an affair with her. When her marriage was breaking up, Peter Sellers was besotted with the idea that he would be her next husband, besotted with the idea rather than with her, I think. He even tried to persuade his pet astrologer to discover favourable auguries for the match. John Fowles, typically, fantasised about seducing her and imprisoning her underground, not necessarily in that order. Pablo Picasso claimed that only the princess would be a suitable bride to be the châtelaine of his vast new villa, La Californie. At 5'4", he would have towered over her. He made paper crowns for the vinegary art critic Douglas Cooper and his scarcely less acerbic biographer John Richardson, and taught them how to bow properly for his royal wedding (another example of how artists' jokes are almost as unfunny as musicians').
Brown takes the fantasy a stage further by imagining how married life would have worked out for Pablo and Margaret. This is one of a series of counterfactual episodes spattered through the book: what if she had married Peter Townsend after all, what if she had married Jeremy Thorpe, another improbable contender for her hand, what if she had become queen instead of her sister? These capriccios melt beautifully into the text, because we are immersed in a land of dreams. Being a communist or a homosexual is no barrier here to imagining yourself walking up the aisle of Westminster Abbey with the royal trumpeters at full blast.
With typical puckishness, the novelist A.N. Wilson once asked Princess Margaret whether she, like everyone else, dreamed about the queen. Instead of biting his head off, she answered, rather surprisingly: 'Yes, she said, and it was always the same dream. She dreamed that she was disapproved of, she knew she had done something truly awful, something that transgressed everything that she had been brought up to believe, something which had made the queen angry … she could not rest until she had heard her sister's voice in waking life.'
Her camp followers – never was that phrase more apt – scarcely waited till she had left the room before they started bitching about her, usually in snobbish terms. The snobbery is equally distributed between left and right. Christopher Isherwood called her 'quite a common little thing'. Richard Eyre said that 'if it weren't for the sharp English upper-class voice, you'd say she looks like a Maltese landlady.' Cecil Beaton described her as vulgar and later as 'a poor midgety brute' who had 'gone to pot … her complexion now a dirty negligee pink satin'. Only matched by Alan Clark's diary entry: 'fat, ugly, dwarflike, lecherous and revoltingly tastelessly behaved' (from a master of deportment). The emphasis on her small stature was almost universal. It was the cruellest thrust, and one suspects a deliberate one, when her husband (himself no giant) made a TV documentary about midgets, which Margaret gamely described as 'not my cup of tea at all. Bit too near home, I'm afraid.' Yet they all went on angling and wangling. Her presence lured every star in Hollywood to the party Tynan threw for her. At her funeral and memorial service, the camp followers were out in force, scurrying home to their diaries to confide afterwards how awful she had been.
She had been a wilful and mischievous child, unlike her dutiful elder sister. In that notorious book The Little Princesses, their nanny Marion Crawford, 'Crawfie', who looked after them for 15 years, described how she would mimic Lilibet's methodical preparations for going to bed. Crawfie was never forgiven for the book. There was no royal wreath at her funeral. Margaret said simply: 'she sneaked.'
Whatever she was like to start with, it is clear, I think, that she went downhill after she was not allowed to marry Townsend. It was a hammer blow to her morale. It was also the most interesting thing to happen to the royal family between the abdication and the death of Diana. It soured her for good. It also left the nation in a state of suspended moral animation for years. The affair was an episode in the history not only of divorce but also of deference and authority. Social historians neglect it at their peril. David Kynaston in Family Britain 1951-57 gives a pretty full account, but in Peter Hennessy's Having It So Good: Britain in the 1950s the only Peter Townsend in the index is the sociologist of that name. Even Brown does not quite do justice to the ramifications.
Townsend was the most genuine of war heroes. Born in 1914, he had joined the RAF at the age of 19 and helped to shoot down the first Heinkel to crash on British soil. He claimed two more Heinkels that spring of 1940 and was awarded a DFC. He got a bar to his DFC for shooting down four more aircraft and was himself shot down three times. He was also extremely good-looking.
From left to right: Princess Margaret on her 26th birthday in 1956; at a film premiere in 1951; with the Queen Mother in 1951.
That much we probably knew, more or less. What may come as a surprise is that he had been appointed equerry to King George as early as 1944, when Margaret was only 14. By then, he had a wife, Rosemary, and a small son. Margaret said, much later, that she really fell in love with him in 1947 when he accompanied the royal family on their tour of South Africa and they rode across the veld together. He himself claimed to have noticed the first spark between them at a picnic at Balmoral in August 1951. At all events, they had known each other for nine years by the time she was spotted picking fluff from his lapel on Coronation Day, 2 June 1953. The version in Townsend's memoir is that it was only after his divorce from Rosemary in December 1952 that their love had been allowed to blossom. Brown is forgivably sceptical: 'Had this impetuous young woman really managed to hide her feelings for a full five and a half years? And had the group captain somehow exercised a similar restraint?'
In a footnote, Brown adds a recollection from the princess's chauffeur, John Larkin, who asked her whether she wanted to keep the same number plate when she replaced her old Rolls-Royce with a newer model. 'No,' she said, ' it refers to something in my past best forgotten.' The number was PM6450, which Larkin interpreted as 'Princess Margaret 6 April 1950'. Could this be the day she lost her virginity? If so, a sporting flourish, to say the least. Brown does not mention the persistent report that Rosemary was aggrieved at having to play the guilty party in order to save the reputation of the royal family, though she did marry her own lover a few months after the divorce.
On learning of the affair, Sir Alan 'Tommy' Lascelles, private secretary to the new queen, told Townsend: 'you must be either mad or bad.' Within a month, he had persuaded Churchill to exile Townsend to Brussels as air attaché, without even giving him time to say goodbye. I once met Lascelles when I was at school, and was startled by his explosion of venom against the Duke of Windsor, whose private secretary he had been before the war. He was memorably unpleasant. The hope was that the separation would cool their love. But on his return two years later, Townsend said that 'our feelings for one another had not changed.' By now, Margaret was 25, and was free under the Royal Marriages Act to marry without the queen's consent. It was time for the establishment to bring up the big guns. On 1 October 1955, Anthony Eden informed the princess that the cabinet had agreed that if she went ahead with the marriage, she would have to renounce her royal rights and her income from the Civil List. In deploying this threat, the government could scarcely be said to be responding to popular hostility to the match. Gallup found that 59 per cent approved of it and only 17 per cent disapproved. So was it the Church of England's influence? Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher, a famous thrasher in his days as headmaster of Repton, was interviewed on TV by Richard Dimbleby on 2 November, two days after the announcement that the marriage would not happen. Fisher maintained that the decision had been the princess's alone and that 'there was no pressure from Church or State.' This was a barefaced lie. We have seen the blunt financial threat from Eden. True, on her meeting with Fisher on 27 October, the princess did indeed say that she had come not to seek his guidance but to tell him of her decision. But at an earlier dinner with him, on 19 October, he had earnestly counselled her to call it off. There was also an extraordinary leader in the Times on 26 October, which has all the portentous fingerprints of the editor, Sir William Haley.
According to the Times, the queen had 'come to be the symbol of every side of the life of this society, its universal representative in whom her people see their better selves ideally reflected'. That better self had to be reflected in the queen's family. If the marriage went ahead, 'the princess will be entering into a union which vast numbers of her sister's people, all sincerely anxious for her lifelong happiness, cannot in conscience regard as a marriage.' Vast numbers? All evidence suggests that public opinion was overwhelmingly tolerant of the match. When three of the queen's four children got divorced a generation later, there was no suggestion that any of them would have to renounce their titles or emoluments, as Haley urged that Margaret should do. But Haley was not finished. 'That devout men have argued that it is a wrong interpretation of Christianity is not here relevant.' So the prohibition was not even rooted in scripture. It was based entirely on what Haley thought the public would stand for.
The two most conspicuous public opponents of the match were Eden and the archbishop. Eden by now had become prime minister by the skin of his trousers. A notable seducer of upper-class married women, he had already barely escaped being cited as co-respondent by his nephew Lord Warwick. In June 1950 his wife, Beatrice, agreed to be cited as the guilty party in their divorce, on the grounds that they had been separated for more than three years. By now he was having an affair with Dorothy Beatty. Her husband, son of the quasi-victor of Jutland, hoped to blackmail Eden into securing him a post in the shadow cabinet. Eden couldn't or wouldn't oblige. So Beatty put the detectives on him. Eden fled to Churchill's house at 28 Hyde Park Gate, where Churchill set up a secret HQ for him, while an officer in the Coldstream, who happened also to be in love with Dorothy, agreed to sit in Eden's house for as long as it took the detectives to identify him as the adulterous party. The obliging guardee was duly cited in the divorce proceedings, and Eden was able to become prime minister. Phew! But what a crew! Anyone who thinks Eden's deceit at Suez was out of character needs to think again.
As for the archbishop, he managed to radiate adamantine certainty. In fact the Church's position on divorce and remarriage was under extreme pressure. The Church of England had landed itself with the sternest prohibitions of any church, having shunned the Catholic let-out of annulment at a price. But what scriptural authority could these rules claim? Yes, Jesus had said that 'those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.' But what about those who had sundered? How was the Church to apply its message of compassion to them?
Fisher himself admitted that Jesus had left no instructions. He had left the Church free to find its way, in reliance on his Holy Spirit. Fisher did not wish to shelter behind an unyielding rigorism. Second marriages could be spiritually blessed. In the past, the Church had made exceptions to its rules, but it could no longer afford to do so. Since 1857, the C of E had been pushed in the direction of stricter discipline, because 'the mounting tide of divorce was threatening to overthrow the whole Christian conception of marriage.' So the stricter standards were new. They didn't derive from the teachings of Jesus. They were a last-ditch attempt to hold the line. The royal family was to be deployed as an instrument of social control. And in fact Fisher succeeded in pushing through Convocation two years later an act which sought to deprive priests of their old discretion to marry divorcees.
As it happens, Princess Margaret was extremely devout all her life (without her piety having much visible impact on her conduct). Every time she flew off to the West Indies, she would first go down to the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy to receive Communion from Eric Abbott, the former dean of Westminster. On her deathbed, Archbishop Carey came to give her Communion and left her a bottle of olive oil which his wife Eileen had brought back from the Holy Land. Margaret was thrilled.
All the harsher then that she should have been a victim of such strong-armed humbug by the combined forces of Church and State. But an even worse fate was in store for her. Anthony Armstrong-Jones was already well known as a society photographer. He had been to Eton and Cambridge (he had coxed the winning Cambridge eight in the Boat Race). But he was still regarded as a common snapper. Colin Tennant, a founder member of the Princess Margaret Set, had relegated him to the servants' entrance at his wedding. When Armstrong-Jones tried to introduce himself to the fearsome Betty Kenward, the pseudonymous author of 'Jennifer's Diary' in Queen magazine, she snapped: 'Don't you dare address me, I don't talk to my photographers.' When she heard that Armstrong-Jones was to marry the princess, she spent the afternoon kicking the wastepaper basket. Her fury was equalled by that of Cecil Beaton, who moaned in his diary that Armstrong-Jones was 'not even a good photographer'.
Why did she marry him? The reason usually given is that she was outraged when Townsend wrote to tell her that he was engaged to be married to a young Belgian girl, breaking their (not very realistic) pact that neither would ever marry anyone else. Three weeks after their wedding, Camilla Fry, the wife of Armstrong-Jones's old friend, gave birth to a daughter, the first of his irregular offspring scattered around the country during and after his marriage to Margaret. Lord Snowdon, as he now became ('In I go Jones, out I come Snowdon'), was as compulsively unfaithful as he became compulsively unpleasant to his wife. He left vicious notes for her around the house, listing 'Twenty-four reasons why I hate you' or saying: 'You look like a Jewish manicurist.' Brown compares his behaviour in the later stages of their marriage to that of Jack Manningham, the villain in Patrick Hamilton's play Gaslight, who sets out by a series of fiendish tricks to convince his wife that she is mad. Snowdon did actually persuade the princess to visit a psychiatrist.
She was in fact perfectly capable of looking after her own interests. She secretly briefed Nigel Dempster to settle old scores, which didn't stop her being indignant when Diana told all to Andrew Morton. During her first holiday on Mustique, Colin Tennant, who had just bought the island, asked whether as a wedding present she would like a piece of jewellery or a piece of land. She responded without hesitation: 'a piece of land'. Thinking the plot he gave her inadequate, she pulled up the boundary stakes and replanted them further out. While her back was turned, Tennant silently put the stakes back in their original holes. This to and fro went on until the princess had secured a full ten acres. Snowdon hated Tennant so much that he only visited Mustique once. He may have had a point. The princess herself described her first day on the island: 'We sat in the brush and whacked mosquitoes.' The clue is in the name.
Nor did she always receive a warmer welcome within her own family. The queen never ceased to be fond of her and, later, sorry for her, but she was busy being queen. In the Townsend crisis, the queen mother offered her little or no help. The queen's secretary Martin Charteris thought that 'she was not a mother to her child. When the princess attempted to broach the subject, her mother grew upset, and refused to discuss it.' The queen mother's dislike of unpleasantness was legendary. She refused to visit her most loyal courtiers when they were dying. One old lady in waiting is said to have actually died at Clarence House, just before one of the queen mother's famous lunches under the cedar tree in the garden. Her body was shunted into a side room and HM was not informed until the lunch was over, so as not to spoil the fun. When they were both invalids, Princess Margaret was more than once spotted pinching her mother's wheelchair.
At the end of the book, only the hardest heart would repress a twitch of sympathy. To live on the receiving end of so much gush and so much abuse, to be simultaneously spoilt rotten and hopelessly infantilised, how well would any of us stand up to it? So many functions to go to, so much dysfunction to come back to. When Princess Margaret made a guest appearance at the Borsetshire fashion show in an episode of The Archers, the producer said after the run-through: 'That's very good, ma'am, but do you think you could sound as if you were enjoying yourself a little more?'
'Well, I wouldn't be, would I?' The princess replied.
It was a backhanded mercy that she did not live to hear the bells ringing to celebrate the engagement of Prince Harry to a divorced American actor of mixed race. Wallis Simpson, too, must be turning in her unquiet grave.

Nutritional value of organic food in our world 2018.
Natural countenances are not just solid since they contain no manufactured compound waste, yet additionally on the grounds that they are more nutritious. Customary ranchers guarantee that products of the soil contain parallel measures of supplements, and many examinations affirm their cases. Notwithstanding, they frequently neglect to specify that the wholesome estimation of recently reaped apples, for instance, is considerably higher than that of an apple made for quite a long time or even weeks. This is on account of the nutritious estimation of products of the soil starts to decay practically after collect. For instance, new cauliflower loses up to half of its substance of vitamin C right on time following 7 days of collecting.
Loss of nutritious estimation of new products of the soil after collect may have little to do with the path in which they are developed. In any case, this has a ton to do with plant development strategies. Natural horticulture does not totally maintain a strategic distance from the utilization of synthetic items amid plant development, yet in addition, denies the utilization of any additive or compound item to expand its valuable life. Therefore, natural nourishment's are ruined significantly before and must be expended in a substantially shorter period than customary foods grown from the ground.
They are typically collected before development keeping in mind the end goal to "survive" transport and/or a wide range of things are taken care of to broaden their time span of usability. They remain crisp longer than natural foods grown from the ground, along these lines, frequently give less vital supplements than they say. Sustenance names have enhanced notably as of late, shoppers have gotten significantly more data about root, fixings, and so forth., yet it is as yet impractical to discover a reap date, for instance. For instance, it is essential for the healthful estimation of crisp products of the soil. The appearance itself does not uncover anything since all foods grown from the ground customarily delivered are generally treated with additives.
In this way, they can look new and have another flavor, regardless of whether they are gathered weeks back. The main games mentors have distributed a one of a kind wellbeing guide, which is exceptionally valuable. Natural products of the soil marks, as a rule, don't contain the date of gather, but since of their short time span of usability, most natural leafy foods are accessible to customers instantly after collect, hinting at decay. Inside 24 hours. Subsequent to being chosen. This implies they are extremely new, making them more nutritious than generally developed products of the soil. The nutritious estimation of meat and drain items may not be dangerous in light of the fact that they ought to be new, solidified or chilled, paying little mind to how they are created.
In any case, it is hard to envision that chickens that can not achieve the sun will deliver eggs as nutritious and chicken that approaches sunlight and scratches, or a bovine restricted to the woods. High-thickness drain generation in sustaining milk. Obscure female, elephant, eating, outside, on grass, throughout the entire year.


Lets take a look about these 5 products I love!
A gentle foaming gel face wash cleanse away all the dirt and oil on the skin, which is also suitable for sensitive skin.
This blue coloured scrub comes a shower gel with fine sea salt gently exfoliates and leaves you smooth as can be, while fresh lemon juice and lemon oil brighten skin. Apply this to damp skin and rub gently to exfoliate and cleanse the skin, then rinse clean.
The cream comes in a cute little glass tub and smells absolutely amazing. It has a very soft texture and feels velvety on the skin. I love to use it every morning, it get absorbed into the skin easily and leaves a beautiful sheen. You can use it on your face including under eye area, neck and hands too.
The cream act as a primer before makeup and contains anti oxidants in it which helps in repairing the skin, reducing blemishes. Also I don't think I can buy again because of it's price tag.


CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa has lifted the lid on the war room he was asked to head by his predecessor Jacob Zuma in a bid to keep the lights on and why it didn't work.
Ramaphosa was put in charge in 2014, but later asked Zuma to shut the initiative down, saying that he couldn't take effective decisions because too many people were able to put forward their own ideas on what needed to be done.
During question time in the National Assembly on Thursday, Ramaphosa was asked by Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Groenewald what he'd done in the war room to prevent consumers having to foot the bill for Eskom's scandals.
Ramaphosa says that the war room got to understand how the grid operates and Eskom's problems with aging power stations, maintenance backlogs and cost overruns. But state capture, looting and corruption never reared their heads.
"What the war room never really got close to was the financial machinations that were happening at a corporate level – we were looking more closely at keeping the lights on."
Ramaphosa later asked Zuma to shut the war room down.
"I had been appointed to head the war room, but at the same time, I realised - and I told him [Zuma] - I am not able to wrap my arms around Eskom properly, to take effective decisions, because at every point, there was another entry of another idea, of other people…"
Ramaphosa told Zuma that Eskom needed a CEO, answerable to him (Zuma) and the board. Load shedding stopped soon after Brian Molefe was appointed but Ramaphosa says that Eskom's deep-seated issues weren't properly dealt with.

Elon Musk hates trains and will now build them for Chicago.
Musk's Boring Company announced they will be building the Chicago Express Loop which will connect O'Hare International Airport with the city's downtown. The planned system, CNN reports, "will carry passengers in battery-powered vehicles through tunnels at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour." The Boring Company is currently working on a similar system for Los Angeles.
Musk's success in this field is ironic since he hates the very concept of public transportation. "I think public transport is painful," Musk told a conference in Long Beach, California last year. "It sucks. Why do you want to get on something with a lot of other people, that doesn't leave where you want it to leave, doesn't start where you want it to start, doesn't end where you want it to end? And it doesn't go all the time."
He went on to say, that public transportation was "a pain in the ass" which is "why everyone doesn't like it. And there's like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer, OK, great. And so that's why people like individualized transport, that goes where you want, when you want."
When an audience member raised the success of public transportation in Japan, Musk snorted, "What, where they cram people in the subway? That doesn't sound great."
Musk greatly prefers the private car to any form of mass transportation. So, while he might build high-speed transportation for America's largest cities, don't expect him to use his own creation. He'll be too busy staying safe from the serial killers.

Mckfresh Nail Attire is an Aussie indie brand that I recently tried for the first time with a polish in the July What's Indie Box. I recently was sent the latest Mckfresh collection, called Spring Dreaming and there are some really pretty polishes in there. It's so nice to have some seasonal collections available for us southern hemisphere gals. Not that I usually stick to seasonal trends, but when the weather instantly turns warm and the trees are blossoming (like it has in the last week), then wearing brights and pastels is what you feel like doing.
There are seven polishes in the collection, and today I'm showing you the four cremes and shimmers and tomorrow I'll show the remaining three glitters.
First Light - a bright almost neon pink leaning orange. It's so much brighter than my photos capture because neons are always notoriously hard to photograph. This one is most definitely a jelly finish but it achieves opacity quite easily. The formula is beautiful for a neon polish. This is three coats with Seche Vite.
Lakeside sunset - a soft lavender purple with a pink shimmer. Formula was great and the polish was easy to apply. This is three coats with Seche Vite top coat.
Morning Dew - a soft mint green with strong silvery green shimmer. Perfect spring shade and the shimmer is amazing. This is two coats with SecheVite.
Splice of Life - a very pale yellow creme polish with a coppery pink shimmer. I needed four coats of this one to ensure it wasn't streaky, but the end result was really pretty. The shimmer in this polish is so sparkly, it's actually makes you nails look wet. This is four coats with Seche Vite.
Wow, I really liked that orange jelly!
Love the shimmer in Lakeside sunset!
Ohh first light is beautiful. It reminds me of a jelly bean!
That purple is so sweet!

The Walled Garden is a formal garden situated in Moreton in Dorset. The Walled Garden is situated right next to the grave of T.E. Lawrence (AKA Lawrence of Arabia) and serves as a beautiful location for events and weddings. It also boasts a cafe and a gift and plant shop. The primary draw of The Walled Garden has to be the gardens themselves, which are painstakingly tended to and are themed.
The Walled Garden came to Sites For Business for a new and up to date website. Having already worked with Employ My Ability, a vocational training company for people with special educational needs, based at the grounds, The Walled Garden was the next logical step.
We created an SEO optimised website for The Walled Garden to allow them to show off their beautifully tended gardens, advertise their events and show off what they have to offer for weddings.

OOOOO Blackhoof rider... scout knee guard... scout arm guard... scout cloak... Grant's original pistol?
Being new to the Dystopian War game the Beta rules seem good... I like the version of the Guts and Glory cards being picked up in this game as well... makes a nice symmetry with WWX... Tho would like to the see the DW deck of cards not be the same tan color as the WWX decks... maybe a nautical blue... (reserve the Armored Clash dual deck a green)... Will definitely be printing the proxies and giving it a go with my Navy Vet friend soon!
So... Ghost Wolf Posse options currently would not work with the models above.... In his Themed Posse Judgement of the Plains in the 1st slot you can bring Hawkeye or a Warrior Nation Hands Unit. Then in Slot 2 you could bring a WN Face and/or Hands. Slot 3 WN Hands and/or Non-beast Support (Kaga, Shaman, Spirit, Firebringer), Slot 4 WN Face and/or Hands, Slot 5 up to 2 WN hands or Support with out Beast Trait, Slot 6 up to 2 WN Hands or Support Units. Ghost Wolf Faction posse also requires lots of Hands... Slot 1 up to 2 Hands, Slot 2 WN face and/or a WN Hands, Slot 3 Face and/or Support, Slot 4 Hands and/or Support, Slot 5 Face and/or Hands, Slot 6 Hands and/or Support... You would not be able to bring River or Zarelda as they do not have the Warrior Nation Trait... To get you into a playing force you would need to pick up a set of Hands... this would allow you to fill Slot 1 and Slot 2 of a Faction posse then allow you to Slot 3 your Energy Beats and Slot 4 your Weavy Weapon as Kaga Bro... (or you could Gat or Bow up one of your Brave Hunters in Slot 2) You would need to bring an Outlaw Boss to start another posse to bring River and Zarelda.
To keep the 2 halves in the Action deck fair... you can remove a 2 AP card and the 5 AP card to make the 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s even... I would then separate them evenly by numbers so you create two fair decks. each with the same number of available AP cards.
This is amazing... love the Nebula!
Sandrail Buggy no longer available to the Lawmen?
The only Outlaw Posse that would allow the lawmen access to the Buggy would be Bill the Kid's Regulators Theme Posse... but it requires you building the posse all the way to Slot 6.
Wyatt, Doc and the Lawbots lured me into the game during the 1st kickstarter... with all the bits added since then, and coming up, Yep, still a Lawmen! Looking to do a Wyatt Wrangler Conversion soon... and to pick up the Infernal Investigations as soon as they release... for obvious reasons of course! The Rangers are an amazing set of models and with 11 hands in the box they have an added bonus... They play very hard in the game as well so almost completely replace deputies... also like bringing Carl Fredrickson along for some portal fun! The Gyrocopter is also one of the most wicked support models in the game!
Howdy Burson, I believe someone already forwarded the map campaign from last year... would be interesting to dust it off and try it with 2.0 rules.
