Ensuring Law and Order: The Key to Curb Crimes
Currently, Afghanistan is suffering from myriads of problems and among them the rising rate of crimes is a dominant one. The persistent insecurity and instability have provided the opportunity to the criminals to take full advantage. Moreover, the prevailing circumstances – the snowballing poverty and unemployment, growing injustice and unreliable law and order system – are further pushing the people towards crimes and corruption. It is always important to see that there is a prominent link between poverty and crimes. There are many people who commit crimes only because they are not able to feed their families or they are capable of fulfilling the ever-growing necessities of life.
The important point is to realize that though poverty is one of the basic reasons of why people commit crimes, it is not the only reason. It can be observed that the criminals are mostly rich and have connections with authoritative people in the society. Moreover, there are criminals among the ruling elite and they commit huge crimes and never brought to justice.
Thus, there are different reasons behind the crimes that are committed within a society and they are not always evident to us. What is evident is the outcome of the crimes as it directly influences the people. Whether there is a murder, robbery or a kidnapping, the effect is very direct and can be felt by the victims, their relatives and other people who come across those crimes. These impacts of the crimes disturb the normal social life and may prove to be a ripple that can generate more crimes and disturbances within the society. Therefore, it is important to safeguard the society from these influences and control the crimes in the best possible manner.
Two types of strategies can be effective in this regard – short term and long term strategies. The short-term strategy is basically carried out by the law-enforcement system in the society that works through the institutions of courts and police. Law-enforcement system within a society basically works on the principle of identifying the criminals, bringing them to the justice and punishing them. The countries with weaker law-enforcements systems suffer to a large extent in providing justice to the alleged criminals. Such societies also suffer from lack of providence of timely justice. The system of courts is not very efficient. There are many cases that take many years in courts and yet remain undecided. The people who are influenced by such cases experience a complete change in their lives, which is from bad to worse and by the time they reach to justice, their lives are already destroyed. It has been also observed that the cases that belong to influential people are pursued immediately while the ones that involve the ordinary people are kept in files and they never reach to the courts.
And then there are detention centers that, in fact, do not transform the criminals into useful citizens, which is the basic philosophy of them. They, on the other hand, turn them into bigger criminals and if unfortunately, which mostly happens, there is a person who has been punished wrongfully; such a person becomes a true criminal after leaving the detention center. Unluckily, Afghanistan is one of the same types of countries that suffer from weak law-enforcement system. Though there has been much development in this regard, serious concerns still prevail and raise questions about the system. The police force in Afghanistan is still in the preliminary stages and it really requires years of attention and support to reach to a truly professional stage. There are many areas in the country where the police do have enough penetration and where they cannot reach to crimes and criminals. Then there are many areas wherein the people still go to traditional courts, which are dominated by religious and tribal leaders instead of going to the courts that are established by the government.
There is a great margin of tireless efforts for the improvement of detention centers as well. The basic facilities that the prisoners get are in no way enough and the environment is not very much healthy. Even within the detention centers the criminals are able to keep their communication with the outside world and are able to lead or to participate in their unlawful activities.
It is really imperative to keep in consideration that the law-enforcement system can provide short-term solution to the crimes. If a society is really interested in controlling them there should be a long-term strategy that must deal with the basic reasons of the crime and try to nip the evil in the bud. There should be efforts to work on efficient administration, better economic condition, political stability, good governance, providence of basic human rights and control of corruption. Justice should reach to all the people of the society alike and the citizens must not feel alienated from the society. Moreover, there should not be discrimination as far as practical implementation of the criminal law is considered. Law should not serve the rich alone as is happening in many societies of the world; rather all should be treated equally in this regard.

Barclay (Never Look Away) examines the consequences of ordinary citizens making criminal decisions in the wake of the recession in this believable thriller that skillfully alternates between high-octane action and a slower sense of unease. Milford, Conn., contractor Glen Garber has a lot to deal with in the wake of his wife Sheila's death in a car accident that claimed two other lives: potential lawsuits over the accident, a fire in one of his houses, his eight-year-old daughter Kelly's difficulties at school, his mother-in-law's disapproval, and abiding anger and confusion over the accident's circumstances. In addition, some of Sheila's friends make inappropriate queries into the whereabouts of her purse during the accident, and while playing a hide-and-seek game at a friend's home, Kelly overhears a disturbing conversation that triggers a series of deadly confrontations. The sorry events in Milford are a great argument for people feeling the pinch in their pocketbooks to avoid illicit trafficking in knock-off drugs, purses, and construction materials. (Sept.)

Keeping heritage alive: Tread of Pioneers director celebrates 20 years at the museum

Tread of Pioneers Museum Executive Director Candice Bannister poses with three Ute tribe dancers from a previous Ute Pow Wow Dance Performance and Presentation. Bannister is celebrating 20 years of working at the museum and she cites the Ute events as one of her biggest accomplishments.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — When Candice Bannister was a little girl, growing up in Kentucky, her grandmother owned an antiques business, and it was there, as she wandered through those collections, that her fascination with history began.
"It was just really apparent to me early on that these are things that hold the memories of people that are no longer here," Bannister said, "and they just seemed valuable and meaningful."
That passion led Bannister to where she is today — celebrating 20 years at the Tread of Pioneers Museum.
"I didn't know that this was her 20th year until recently," said Laurie Kuelthau, a museum board member and volunteer. "She has so much enthusiasm and knowledge … and to be pushing forward and innovating 20 years on is amazing."
Bannister found her way to Colorado through multiple trips out west while studying psychology and anthropology at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
"I loved the West, so I knew I wanted to live out here," Bannister said.
A friend offered her and a friend the chance to live in a condo they owned in Steamboat Springs for a couple weeks to see what they thought, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Bannister began working with the U.S. Forest Service leading different archeological tours and programs. This led to different partnerships with local nonprofits, including her involvement with a children's program through Yampatika and the Tread of Pioneers Museum.
Tread of Pioneers Museum Executive Director Candice Bannister, left, and Museum Curator Katie Adams pose for a photo in front of the Olympian Tribute Display at the top of the gondola at Steamboat Resort in 2015. Adams was the first curator hired full-time to work at the museum, which was one of Bannister's first steps when taking over the director role.
"We were teaching kids about local history," Bannister said. "So, when the curator position at the museum opened up, the director at the time was familiar with me through the partnership program that I had done with her."
In 2000, after three years of living in Steamboat, Bannister began working at the museum as a part-time curator and assistant director.
"At that time, they had two other part-time staff besides the full-time director, and they had both left," Bannister said. "It was really just the director and me, part time, and a core of volunteers, and in those days, (the museum) barely resembled the museum we are today."
Around 2003, Bannister did a brief stint as interim director before accepting the executive director position. Bannister immediately set her sights on growing the museum.
The first step involved hiring a full-time curator.
"I was the first curator at the Tread to work with full-time status," said Katie Adams, who was hired as museum curator in 2006. "This has really allowed the museum's collection management program to grow and become the professional facility and organization that it is today."
In 2013, Bannister's second goal of expanding exhibits and creating a museum-quality collections care facility was realized. After that, she felt it was time to turn her focus toward the community.
"We really had to get the museum operation and the exhibits and the collections — those were our first priorities … and once all of that was elevated, we really focused our efforts on providing the best services and activities to the community that we can," Bannister explained.
When she first started at the museum, there were very few programs and events, but now under Bannister's tenure, the Tread of Pioneers hosts over 100 a year with three-and-a-half staff members.
"We're small but mighty," Bannister said.
"Museum directors are often just focused on the museum," said Jim DeFrancia, a Tread of Pioneers Museum board member. "They kind of don't get out of their bubble and look at the whole context of history in the broader sense of the community history … but she does."
The museum's programming has grown from brown bag lunches to happy hours, historic walking tours and more, and one of Bannister's proudest achievements are the programs and events that deepen the community's connection to the Ute Tribe.
Tread of Pioneers Museum Executive Director Candice Bannister poses with Scott Lewer, of Conroy Moving, in front of a tree from a previous Festival of Trees.
"When I was early in my career, I was looking for a way that our community and the Ute Tribe could connect," Bannister said. "Then it dawned on me — this is my role, this is the museum's role to make this connection."
Her vision eventually developed into the Ute Indian Pow Wow Dance Performance and Presentation. The tribe shares its culture with the community through dance, music and regalia and then has the chance to see how the Utes are represented in Routt County's history by touring the museum and areas of the county itself, where their ancestors lived.
"Giving them an opportunity to come back to this area and be invited with open arms by the museum and by the town is just a really important thing," Bannister said.
Bannister also has looked for ways the museum can play a role in the larger discussion of heritage and historical preservation within the community.
"When the Steamboat Springs Arts Council began to pursue the certification from the state for the town to become a creative district, I reached out to Candice, knowing what a fierce advocate she is for heritage," said Kim Keith, executive director of Steamboat Creates, formerly known as the Steamboat Springs Arts Council.
"I think people that visit Steamboat and live here, they want to know about the history. They can tell that this place is steeped in history, and I think the more people know, the more that they appreciate the place they live and visit," Bannister said. "Keeping heritage sitting at all of the tables and giving heritage a voice in the community — whether it be community planning, whether it be tourism, whether it be marketing — is relevant."
Bannister also has dedicated herself to creating a work environment where museum staff can flourish.
"Her focus has always been on staff support, whether it be support of personal challenges, like my maternity and child cared needs, or for support with professional growth and learning resources and opportunities," Adams said.
Past performance may be important when reflecting back on 20 years worth of work at one organization, but Bannister is just as focused on the future. In the long term, she wants to continue to deepen the town's connection to the Ute tribe, expand public access to digital archives and collect artifacts and oral histories from older generations before they're gone.
But her ultimate goal is to make history fun and keep the museum available for generations to come.
"This is not a one-woman show at all, and I really feel like the growth of the museum is tied to a long history of volunteers, board members, donors, members and the community, who have believed in the heritage, who are passionate about the heritage, who support the museum, who support me," Bannister said. "And my incredible staff — I've been really lucky and incredibly blessed with an incredible staff. It really has been a team effort.
"I think that's my big takeaway with all of this — with any one of those pieces missing, I don't think we would be where we are today."

Hey. I know I already do not have to toggle back and forth between keyboards and mouseses any more, but can you support my goal of getting carpel tunnel AND diabetes by introducing a feature that allows me to set a key combo to immediately go from one machine to another?
In Photoshop I can assign keys to certain macros so that they... well you know what macros are and do.
I want to be on machine 1 and need to get to machine 3 (or 7) so I hit ctrl-alt-3 (or 7) and I get whisked away to the magical land of machine 3... (or 7).

Your wedding marks the start of your married life together, marked by a ceremony before God, as well as with your friends and family. May God be with you, bringing peace & joy in your marriage.
Your wedding ceremony should be personal to you. The minister will be happy to help you plan your own service so that it becomes truly meaningful to you. Take time to consider what you want, write down your ideas and then talk with the minister.
It is important to set the date, time and location of the wedding with the minister first and as early as possible. You are asked to let both the minister and the registrar know of any changes to the plan or cancellation as soon as possible. Any rescheduling of dates must be agreed with the minister before changing.
Couples are responsible for their own flowers. The church can be opened before the wedding by prior arrangement, and you can, if you wish, remove your flowers after the service.
It would be helpful to know beforehand if it is intended to leave any/all of the floral arrangements in the church.
Ideally there would be no flash photography during the service, nor any significant moving around that might distract the congregation.
Video recordings of the wedding service are permitted, provided the camera is positioned in a fixed and unobtrusive position. Videographers are expected to be discreet and sympathetic to the worship.
Couples should note that copyright regulations apply to all hymns and music used at the wedding service and so should ensure that the video company is properly covered for copyright.
The use of candles may be incorporated into the marriage ceremony.
Confetti should not be thrown inside the church. Outside, it would be appreciated if confetti was biodegradable and not scattered too widely.
It is the choice of the couple who will be their attendants on the day. There is the option to allow young ones to sit with families.
A convenient time will be chosen, normally one or two days before the service, when all those taking part will be asked to attend (especially the couple, attendants and person escorting the bride). The Marriage Schedule must be brought along to the rehearsal, along with any Orders of Service.
Any ushers should arrive at the Church around 45 minutes before the wedding service is due to begin. Their normal duties are to give guests a copy of the Order of Service and to show them to their places in the church.
The groom and best man should arrive at the Church by about 30 minutes before the service, bringing with them the Marriage Schedule and the ring(s).
The bride, allowing for photographs, should aim to be on time!
Discuss with the minister if you wish to have a guard of honour, a piper, a soloist etc. Most things are possible.
Brides requiring a passport in their married name should note that the minister performing the ceremony is required to endorse the passport application form. This may be done up to three months prior to the wedding.
The church organists can be contacted to play at weddings, or couples may have musicians they wish to involve. The organist and minister will be very happy to discuss all aspects of the musical requirements for your service.
Two or three hymns are normally sung. Consideration should be given to the words you are asking people to sing, and also to the familiarity of tunes.
It is normal to have one or two Bible readings. You may like to invite family members or friends to read.
In addition, you may wish the words from songs or poems to be read.
There are several options for the wording of the vows you will make to each other. The minister will discuss with you the choices and you should take time to consider what would be most appropriate for yourselves. Alternatively, consider writing down what it is you want to promise to be as a wife/husband. The minister would be happy to help you write your own vows. Vows may be repeated line by line after the minister, read from a card or simply confirmed with the words, "I do".
First, submit Marriage Notice forms to the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages for the district where the marriage is to take place. This should be done about two months prior to the wedding date, and at least 28 days before. The Registrar will request all the necessary documents, many of which are available online.
When the Registrar is satisfied that there is no legal impediment to the marriage, and that the person who is to solemnise the marriage is an approved celebrant, shortly before the date appointed for the ceremony the Registrar will issue you with a Marriage Schedule, which one of you should collect personally. This is the document that is signed by respective parties at the wedding. This document must be produced to your minister before the ceremony; otherwise, the marriage ceremony cannot proceed.
After the ceremony, the Marriage Schedule (now signed by the bride in her maiden name, groom, minister and two witnesses) must be returned within three days to the Registrar so that the marriage can be registered. The above details apply to every marriage conducted in Scotland, civil or religious.
You are not required to be a member of this church or any other church to be married in the Edinkillie Church or Dyke Church or by the Minister in another location. You are, however, warmly invited to worship with us on a Sunday at 10.00am in Dyke Church or at 11.30 a.m. I in Edinkillie Church as and when you are able. Should you wish to consider membership of the Church, the Minister will be pleased to discuss this with you.
In the Church of Scotland, there is no fee for the services of the minister. However there is normally a fee to both the church officer (who deals with practical arrangements for rehearsals and the day itself) and the organist, as well as for the use of the church building itself.
Cheques payable to Dyke and Edinkillie Parish Church; if it is possible for you to pay under Gift Aid, please do so as the Church is able to reclaim the Tax.
The appropriate fee can be brought along, in separate envelopes, to the wedding rehearsal.
Organist: Fee is currently £100 and to be arranged directly with the organist.
Please contact the Organist, Heather Sim, to make arrangements: 07887575961 heather_sim@ymail.com. Our organist's contract states that she has sole use of the organ; it is at her discretion should you wish an outside party to provide the music.
Keys: Please contact the either the Church Officer or Session Clerk Jane Foster (01309 641257) jwaf2212@hotmail.co.uk should you wish access to the church prior to the wedding day.

Q: how to use the cast () function using Sql Builder I have a query like this, which needs a cast :
FROM   w.a_w WTable
       INNER JOIN w.u WuTable
              ON (WTable.CD = CAST(WuTable.CD AS INTEGER))

But i am not getting how to make this query using SQL Builder as I don't get any Cast() or AS Integer build in functions there.
Can someone please guide me through this.

A: Not sure which language you are using, but for golang, I'm using https://github.com/huandu/go-sqlbuilder this lib to build sql, it has a Raw() function, which you can put into your raw func expr, it will not be added to the args, and I think there may be the same capability in the sql builder lib you are using.

Thoughts on adoption as one way to reach our family destinations.
When my twin boys, Alex and Art, were in pre-kindergarten last year, they had a wonderfully understanding teacher. She listened as I explained their challenges and my concerns and what I hoped for them during the school year. Because it was my first experience sending my babies off to school, I am positive that I talked far too much. But she didn't make me feel silly or embarrassed, just reassured me that my boys would do well in her care.
That is a thought I have come back to many times over the last couple of years, and I always tie it to another story in my mind: when I went to South America as a young adult, we traveled all over the continent on small planes, buses, taxis, and boats. I remember one journey in particular, when our bus broke down overnight. We slept in our tiny seats and thought we would never get to our destination.
Some people are born into their forever families. Some travel a bit farther, and get there through adoption–across countries and continents, through agencies and judges. And the how matters (a lot), but what matters most is what happens next–the love and commitment shown to our children, no matter how they came to us or how long they might stay, the baseball games and nights spent taking temperatures, the meetings with school teachers and bedtime stories.
I hope that as my children grow, their lives will be full of rich experiences and beauty, and that their transportation will become part of that.
How did your children get to you? How do you hope they will see that journey as they grow?

Delmar, DE — (June 2, 2014) — If you have never seen a non-wing sprint car race, you don't know what you're missing.
So plan to be at the Grandview Speedway Tuesday night, June 3 when the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series continues with the Jesse Hockett Classic for the USAC non-wing sprint cars and ARDC non-wing midgets presented by Window World. Race time is 7:30 PM.
The nation's best non-wing sprint car drivers from around the county will gather on the "hill" Tuesday night. Drivers like Jarrett Andretti of Indianapolis, IN, Shane Cottle of Kokomo, IN, the " Modern Day Cowboy" Daron Clayton of Sikeston, MO, Dave Darland, Lincoln, IN, Tracy Hines of New Castle, IN, Kevin Thomas, Jr. of Cullman, AL, Robert Ballou of Rocklin, CA, Nathan Moore of Tyler, TX, Chad Boespflug of Hanford, CA and Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, OK are some of the expected entries. Look for ARDC defending champion Trevor Kobylarz of Birdsboro, PA to make his initial non-wing sprint car outing at Grandview and some other locals to include Billy Pauch Jr and Central PA driver Mark Smith.
Non-wing sprint car racing is not for the "faint of heart". This is as extreme as dirt track racing gets.
In many forms of racing, time trials can be a yawner, but not when the USAC cars take to Grandview Speedway. Some say, USAC time trials along are worth the price of admission. Well, have no fear, there is much more to the show then just time trials.
These non-wing sprint car drivers use the outside boiler-plate as a way to slow down. There is always wheel rubbing, countless slide-jobs and racing in a pack is just the norm. In the 2013 running of the Jesse Hockett Classic, Daron Clayton did it all to win the $6,000 first place prize. In a three car battle for the win, Clayton, Levi Jones and Bryan Clauson were on the inside berm, glazing the boiler-plate and offered a three car battle for the lead for the final fifteen laps. Daron Clayton may have failed trying to move the outside boiler-plate at Grandview, but he did win the prestigious event.
Gates will open at 5 PM and for advance ticket holders, you may enter the grandstands at 4:30 PM. Warm-ups will begin at 6:45 with time trials getting underway at 7:30 PM.
USAC time trials, heat races and the 40 lap Jesse Hockett Classic are on the program along with the ARDC non-wing midgets, competing in a series of heat races all leading up to a 25 lap feature event. On May 25 at Grandview, ARDC put on the best show of the night, with Alex Bright taking the win in the non-stop 25 lap feature with Bright starting twenty-first. . . It was an awesome race!
The popular pre-race pit tours introduced at the May 25 Thunder on the Hill event will be offered on Tuesday night as well as the Inside/Out Promotion where fans may watch the warm-ups from inside turn four. What a treat with USAC on the hill.

Vaccine-hesitant first responder in Kentucky changes mind after contracting COVID-19: 'I messed up'
Covington Fire Department Lt. Jimmy Adams was one of the city's first firefighters to step up to take those with severe COVID-19 symptoms to hospitals at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
By: Courtney Francisco
COVINGTON, Ky. — A first responder who had declined to receive the COVID-19 vaccine has changed his mind, and he is urging others to evaluate their decision once more.
Covington Fire Department Lt. Jimmy Adams was one of the city's first firefighters to step up to take those with severe COVID-19 symptoms to hospitals at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic last year. He sacrificed time with family, sometimes needing to isolate himself to protect them from exposure. He wore all the protective gear.
It is when he stepped away from that gear while on vacation that he believes he contracted the virus.
"Most emergency workers tend to downplay it, which I held up my end of the bargain," he said. "I did that, but I started knowing deep down that something wasn't right. It was settling into my chest pretty bad."
Symptoms began Aug. 13, he said. A week later, an ambulance rushed him to the hospital.
"My potassium level got really high, and they were worried about cardiac arrhythmias," Adams said. "It affected my liver numbers. It affected my kidney numbers."
While quarantined in the hospital, he wrote to loved ones: "I messed up."
"I got caught up in everything else that's out there, and I wasn't making sound decisions for me and my family," he said. "When you're dead and gone, your political beliefs won't matter."
He said his wife tested positive, too, but she is vaccinated. He said her symptoms were not harsh.
"If I could rewind the tape, I would do it differently," he said. "I personally believe, now, that there is not a side effect that will make you feel as bad as I felt laying in that hospital bed Friday morning going into these coughing fits and double pneumonia."

Each node supports dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 / v3 series processors, up to 2.0 TB DDR4 ECC 3DS LRDIMM, or 512GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory, built-in dual port 10GBase-T LAN & IPMI2.0 port. The 1028TP-DC1TR comes with eight 2.5" hot-swap SAS3/SATA3 drive bays via LSI 3108 controller, six counter rotating fans, and is equipped with 800W redundant titanium level power supply.


I have a lot of interests, I like sports and try to go to the gym when there is a possibility, but I also like swimming, have pool in city, but most of all I like to swim in the sea, I try to go to the Black Sea every year. I also have a little hobby I like to draw, it's my relaxation, I do not know, or I'm going well, but I draw for myself.
I'm looking for a good man for life. I want a man in whose hands I would feel like a real woman.

EXCLUSIVE: Choir of Young Believers Album Stream
We premiere 'Rhine Gold', the latest album from the Danish masters of orchestral pop
EXCLUSIVE: Choir of Young Believers Album Stream2
The lyrics of the track 'Sedated' mention 'isolation and dreams' and those are exactly the sounds being emanated from Choir of Young Believers' new album, 'Rhine Gold'. The first track especially, exudes ethereal solitude, where the vocals float alone into the melancholic soundscape, and it's only after three minutes that a beat kicks in, bringing it back down to earth.
Choir of Young Believers was conceived in the mind of Jannis Noya Makrigiannis but now there are up to eight musicians and friends who join him live on stage to create the theatrical pop music that the Danish group are soon to be so well known for. Echoing the likes of Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, their new album which can be streamed here will be officially released on April 9.

Everyone has a plumbing at some point in time. This article will give you with both so you can be prepared for when those plumbing emergencies arise.
Noisy pipes are an easy problem to fix.You will need to anchor any type of exposed pipe.
If your house uses well water and there are orange or pink stains in tubs or sinks, you have too much iron in your water. You can use water softener that you buy at the store to remedy this situation, or ask a local business to make a visit to your residence and resolve the issue for you.
Schedule all your issues in one single visit. You may want to have each minor problem attended to as the occur, but saving your plumbing issues for one time can let you put that money back into repairs. Most plumbers have an hourly fee that can be minimized if there is only one visit to your home.
Ensure that the overflow holes have not been clogged. Clear the overflow holes periodically when you are doing your periodic checks for problems and things that need to be repaired.
Installing efficient shower heads could save you a lot of money when it comes to your energy head. Most of hot water in the shower. By installing energy-efficient shower heads for a few extra dollars, you can save over a hundred bucks or more per every shower head in the home.
Some people think it's alright to get away with the cheapest version at the store. The issue with that is they're less tough and easily break.
The best way to avoid plumbing repair bills is to prevent problems before they happen. Clogs present one of the top reasons for needing a major plumbing issues. Drains easily clogged by hair. It's a lot easier to take hair out of a screen than eliminating it off a pipe.
Sometimes, the plumber is chosen by an insurance company without your input, but that doesn't mean that looking him up on Angie's List or a similar site isn't a good idea. If your insurer has just given you the name of a plumber, you could always check out the website and the reviews and feedback left by customers, so you are more comfortable and ready when they arrive.
Check to see if you have toilet for any leaks. An easy way to determine this is to add a couple drops of food coloring in the toilet tank. If you then see colored water in the toilet bowl shortly after, this means your toilet is leaking.
Valves that are rarely used only infrequently sometimes fuse together. You can prevent them from becoming fused by regularly maintaining them with a penetrating oil, and keep penetrating them with oil.
You should verify that their license is up to date and look over any bad feedback filed against them. If they don't generate appealing results, you won't want to hire them to do work for you.
To make your water heater work better, you should figure out the right size water tank to provide enough hot water for the whole household.
Save yourself big time and money by putting together your plumbing problems into the same call.
You should make sure to disconnect and drain all of your water hoses when you are not using them in the winter months approach. If you happen to use a hookup that is located inside of your garage, as long as it stays above freezing, it can stay hooked up there.
It's important to learn a bit about plumbing before there is an emergency. In addition, routine maintenance work can help prevent problems before they come up. Use this advice for any future plumbing needs.


Graphic Bar in Soho: its new art installation launches this month, but you'll need 3D glasses to fully appreciate it.
Opening this month in the Harrods Food Halls, Bentley's Sea Grill is the third London opening by Richard Corrigan. He's also behind Bentley's Oyster Bar and Grill and Corrigan's Mayfair. Seafood is the focus, of course, with a dedicated seafood cocktail section being opened and dishes available including simply prepared wild salmon, wild sea bass and Dover Sole. One of the signature dishes is to be the Bentley's Royal fish pie, a dish first served at the Queen's 80th birthday as part of the BBC series Great British Menu. The original Bentley's was founded in 1916 and, although it was closed down for some time, it remains operational in the same building today. Key elements from the original restaurant's design are replicated in Harrods, with oyster shell lamps, linen drapes and English cutlery decorated the interior.
Bentley's Sea Grill's soft opening has commenced; its official launch takes place on September 12.
In 2011 we recommended Graphic Bar as one of London's most stylish bars. This year sees a significant change to the space takes place, with the installation of its 3D exhibition space. For six months, artworks by 3D artist Jim Sharp will be on display and the scale of the works on show will only be fully apparent when visitors wear 3D glasses. The installation is the latest in a series of collaborations with local artists, who have included Ben Allen, Eine and Mark Wallinger.
Everything should be in place and ready to view by September 12.
This month's opening of House 19 marks the re-launch of the restaurant and bar of members' club Home House. Jeremy Brown is head chef and his menu will concentrate on high-end, British brasserie-style dining; artworks by Rupert Shrive, Simon Edmondson and others will be on display in the space; service is to be "unfussy and unpretentious" but the restaurant won't be open to walk-ins from non-members.
The restaurant is now open.
Already open in Chelsea and Kensington, The Jam Tree expands further this month with the opening of a new branch in Clapham. The restaurant takes over the former site of Grafton House and will be a relaxed space – its owners are promising mismatched seating, battered Chesterfields, hammered tin ceilings and antique grocery shelves. The menu features a mix of British dishes, alongside what it terms "colonial favourites" from Countries such as Canada and India.
The Japan Centre in central London turns its focus to the country's cuisine this month, with the launch of the Japan food fair this month. Visitors to the site will have the opportunity to try complimentary samples of Japanese dishes and drinks each day between 3pm and 6pm. This year the event focuses on Hiroshima, taking a look at how the city has survived its tragic past to become a thriving cultural hub.
The food fair takes place from September 5-25.
A late-night cocktail bar in Kilburn High Road, Love & Liquor takes its inspiration from stripped-back New York drinking dens. Developed by The Colombo Group (Paradise by Way of Kensal Green; The Blues Kitchen), it focuses on classic cocktails and is another new venue that gives a nod to the trend for Speakeasy- and Prohibition-style bars: a weathered wardrobe opens up to reveal a concealed room for groups. It opens from 8pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday nights and will frequently host parties and club nights so may be more suitable for a group night out than a quiet date.
The launch event is on September 7.
The Langham Hotel opened in London in the mid-1800s, around the time gin palaces were at their most popular in the city. This month the hotel opens the Sipsmith Gin Palace, a collaboration with Sipsmith gin distillery. Open in the hotel's Palm Court from 7pm until midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the venue will offer gin-infusions and cocktails designed by Sipsmith master distiller Jared Brown and the Langham's head mixologist Alex Kratena. Different drinks will reference different key points in the history of gin, and the drinks menu will be complemented by a range of tasting dishes.
It opens on September 13.
It's not a new opening, but as an adjunct to the above, it's worth noting a somewhat bizarre restaurant-related event taking place this month. On September 20, Rumble in the Kitchen sees culinary celebrities participate in what is billed "a white-collar boxing match", apparently with saucepans. Boxers including Monica Galetti, Marcus Wareing and Fred Sireix will all compete to raise funds for Galvin's Chance. The charity is an 'into-work' programme for disadvantaged youth, leading to an apprenticeship, college programme or sustainable employment in one of London's prestigious restaurants or hospitality businesses.

VERIFY: Can the coronavirus spread from surfaces?
Health experts say the likelihood you get the new coronavirus without direct contact with someone who visited Wuhan is very low.
Author: VERIFY, Jason Puckett, David Tregde, Terry Spry Jr.
While most Americans will not have contact with someone who recently visited Wuhan - or any other part of China - there's still plenty of fear about becoming sick.
As stories of the new strain of coronavirus continue, many viewers have started reaching out to VERIFY about their travel concerns.
The cases in the U.S. are low, but some have been wondering whether cramped airplanes and crowded stations increase risks?
Can you catch the new strain of coronavirus from touching a surface a sick person touched? Can the virus survive long enough to make public places unsafe? What about mailed packages from regions with the virus?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's very unlikely that you could get the new coronavirus from a surface.
They explained that coronaviruses don't survive long outside the body. While a person could carry the virus for a number of days or weeks - the virus can only survive on surfaces for a short period. The CDC estimates that the life span is "in the range of hours."
That also means the chances are even lower for things like shipped packages. An imported good has likely been packaged and gone through a number of different environments before it winds up at your door.
The director of the CDC's Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said Monday that "there's likely a very, very, very low, if any risk of spread from products or packaging that is shipped" from China.
WHAT WE FOUND
There's no evidence that anyone in the United States has picked up the coronavirus from any means beyond direct contact with bodily fluids. The CDC are particularly warning about "respiratory droplets."
Respiratory droplets are essentially the result of coughing or sneezing. People expel those droplets containing the virus and others can be infected if it enters their body.
Therefore, a sick person touching something doesn't necessarily mean they'll get the virus on it. If they coughed or sneezed into their hand and then touched it, that would get the virus on the object. Similarly, if they coughed and sneezed around the object without touching it and the droplets got on the object, it would still get the virus.
The CDC doesn't know exactly how long this coronavirus can survive in the environment. Past coronaviruses have survived in the environment in a range between a few hours to several days.
This illustration provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in January 2020 shows the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
Even if you touch a surface with this virus still living on it, that doesn't automatically make you sick. You have to touch your mouth, nose, or eyes before you wash your hands. If you touch a viral surface and then wash your hands immediately after without touching your face, it's unlikely you'll get the virus.
When VERIFY reached out to the CDC, they said they can't fully evaluate the risks from products that are shipped from affected areas, however there's no evidence that supports transmission of this coronavirus is associated with imported goods.
In a briefing with journalists on Monday, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, addressed the question of packages specifically. She said, "In general, because of the poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, that's in the range of hours, there's likely a very, very, very low if any risk of spread from products or packaging that is shipped over a period of days or weeks in ambient temperatures."
The CDC said no cases in the United States are associated with imported goods. In fact, every case of the coronavirus in the United States before today was in a person who traveled through Wuhan. The only American patient who hasn't visited Wuhan had regular close contact with a person who had been to Wuhan and whose infection was already confirmed.
They also say to wash your hands with soap and water regularly and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. While the likelihood of an average American getting the virus is already low, doing that will keep your odds of catching the virus even lower.

From a life in fashion
I have been conflicted by the fashion industry and my place within it for a very long time now.
My life in fashion began in retail. After years of obsessing over United Colors of Benetton's progressive publication Colors magazine, one of my first jobs was working at UCB in the exclusive Sydney suburb, Double Bay. I bought into their Saatchi-and-Saatchi-designed dream of an inclusive world where fashion could educate us about global inequality, feminism, war, famine, racism, AIDS, and (in)humanity. In other glossier publications, I adored images of goddesses such as Iman, Yasmeen Ghauri, Beverly Peele, Alek Wek, Jenny Shimizu, and, of course, Naomi Campbell. I bought Cross Colours ("clothes without prejudices"), my ultimate style icons were Nina Simone, Grace Jones, and Lisa Bonet—and I still think Sade is the epitome of cool. Turns out, the industries of fashion, beauty, and entertainment didn't appreciate these women and "brands" as much as I was led to believe.
Early on I became acutely aware that the marketing machine muscle behind the fashion system is tirelessly pumped to target and manipulate our self-esteem, as we yearn for acceptance. All of those highly stylized images of white women—Linda, Christy and Cindy—were created to make women feel bad about themselves, so they would go out and buy things to compensate for the hurt this was intended to cause.
To challenge this sense of deficit, we are procuring more things, at an exponential rate that is killing the planet (with current CO2 levels the highest in human history). This finely attuned rhetoric of lack also plays a major role in the propaganda of racism—of the haves and the have nots—that seeks to create and exploit positions of power and oppression. Paradoxically, black and brown bodies are often manipulated to fill a deficiency in "representation" in fashion.
I wanted to launch my own clothing line to challenge these practices and celebrate those faces that I loved because they reflected my own. I did this in partnership with my friend Ramon Martin, a true white ally. Almost nine years ago, we began a women's clothing brand named Tome, based upon the hope and ideal of a new democracy in fashion. It was an "every woman" brand that spoke to women of all races, sizes, ages and walks of life. It actively engaged with sustainable practices and ethical manufacture and divested of commonly held beliefs of what constitutes acceptable notions of beauty and style. Basically, there were no coiffed and painted women in sadistic little black dresses and teetering heels.
Prior to starting Tome, I learned how to consciously dress women of color, of various ages and sizes. This idea developed organically through lived experience. I made choices, informed by instinct, to represent all women, not because of passing trends or fetishized tastes for people of color disguised as anti-racism, but because I could do anything I wanted with my platform and actively sought to represent beauty that I found to be marginalized. Tome never romanticized ideas about who and what women are, instead it offered realistic clothing that celebrated them in all of their forms.
Almost immediately, Tome received tremendous support and attention from the industry at large—a privileged position for one of the youngest brands in the Vogue Fashion Fund in 2013, where incidentally all ten judges were white. Inclusion in the competition was validation in itself and because of this approval, business boomed in 2014 and Tome was admired for its representation of diversity. This was not the standard at the time. Often, all-white casting with tokenistic placement of black and brown faces and bodies was the common practice.
Six months after our Spring/Summer 2016 show was celebrated for its representation of multidimensional age, race and size at NYFW, Tome's largest e-comm account launched the collection online. Without approval they used an image of a black model from our runway on their site, cropped her head out and photoshopped her body to racialize her as white. Although shocked and appalled I felt immobilized by the power dynamic. We depended on this account to survive financially and didn't want to risk any kind of confrontation that would put that at risk. I felt a kind of paralysis, and I still want to know - who made the decision and who approved it, did it come from above or was it an unregulated moment of racist autonomy? How many people were in on it, and was it discussed or even noticed before or after it was decided upon?
My own history involved silence in the face of pain. I grew up brown and gay in suburban Sydney, Australia. This in itself presented a myriad of unwanted attention and challenges, and it firmly cemented my desire to fit in and fly under the radar. The experience of daily microaggressions and bullying from my youth still exerts powerful influence over me to this day.
I remember feeling paralyzed in these moments because who was I meant to complain to that my boss was a bigot, or from whom could I ask for support to work through my discomfort, anger and shame?
When I was a fashion buyer in my early twenties, I had a white woman for a boss, who was a legend in Australian fashion. She would casually and caustically pass anti-Semitic, anti-Asian, and anti-Indigenous remarks on the regular. She would routinely cut the heads of black models in scrapbooks she collated from our buying trips, once stating, "What's that black girl doing in those white women's clothes?" I am horrified that powerful people whitewashing and beheading images of beautiful black women is a theme that has followed me throughout my career. She prevented me from booking a high profile model of color, using disparaging terms such as "junglebunny" and "jigaboo" to express her disdain, while I, at the age of 23, sat in the same room aghast and uncomfortable. Funny that I should feel embarrassed for her cruelty.
She owned the company outright, and as such, I remember feeling paralyzed in these moments because who was I meant to complain to that my boss was a bigot, or from whom could I ask for support to work through my discomfort, anger and shame? This speaks to a wider issue of who has the power in the industry, and whether that allows for transparency in relationships. In situations like mine, journalist Bonnie Morrison described to me the dynamic perfectly, "Who do you tell, what do you say, does it look like self-dealing and is it every stereotype of people of color: angry, entitled, wants a free ride, sees racism in everything?"
These are the challenges around speaking up. I make no claim of defense for my silence, other than my admission of the truth of limitations, real or imagined, placed on those of us within the fashion industry, by those who have power. In hindsight, I could have done more; I should have demanded more. I didn't use my position of privilege to call out racism when I saw it because of fear of repercussion to my own career.
My experiences helped shape my vision of what kind of boss I wanted to be. I have at times failed on this pledge to myself to always respect and make space for my colleagues and employees, by repeating patterns of bad behavior. I have not always protected others in the way I had hoped I always would, and will admit that in moments of major stress I have been dismissive and aggressive to employees and once even a young model (a moment forever immortalized on YouTube!) I have done a lot of work on this and myself and worked hard to break these learned patterns of behavior. I am still working on this today. As a friend helped me understand whilst writing this piece, I feel a "strong sense of responsibility to people of color in the industry to challenge business as usual and point out pathways to a more diverse, inclusive, and reflective culture."
I had a small thriving business, lauded for its small part in pushing these cultural changes, and yet ultimately the praise did not match the profit margins and the brand closed in 2019. Because Tome closed for commercial reasons, I left behind debt, some owed to contractors, some of whom are women of color, some of them friends. This is extremely painful for me to acknowledge, and since closing the brand I have tried to make up for the mistakes of my professional life, by continuing to pay back some of the debt.
I have learned that we are all casualties of a system we actively participate in. As a self-proclaimed anti-racist, intersectional feminist, and climate activist, I still work, indulge, and find refuge in, benefit from, exploit, enjoy, and uphold long-held racist systems purely by participating in the fashion system. I am both victim and perpetrator of the pernicious powers of what Angela Davis refers to as "the connections between global capitalism, and globalized racism; racial capitalism from the era of slavery to the present…."
Vital conversations around the intersections of race and fashion beg the question of how to affect change in a broken industry, where elitism and white supremacy prevail. Largely white leadership and white representation have been the dominant factor even when exploring and exploiting people of color and their cultural identities. This was my experience until I myself became a leader. And yet, I live in this world and I consume, so I am an active participant in racial capitalism. While we are functioning, working, creating, and selling, within a white supremacist system, how we act as individuals within these systems matters and ultimately shapes the culture.. I think what also matters in fashion, across the board, is robust and enforced accountability.
I echo the advice of Mory Fontanez, a values-based business coach, as to how to change the culture of fashion businesses. To become more intrinsically inclusive beyond just optics requires bringing in inclusive talent at all levels of your business hierarchy, and actively investing in their growth by building an anti-racist environment for this talent to flourish. This integration can only further be enhanced by providing and making space that is conducive to accessing opportunities for all. Then we must provide empowerment for these recruits to have autonomy and to lead. Representation and recognition are key, as it provides opportunity to listen to the needs of employees of color, so we can understand what empowerment means to them.
This is what I set out to do with Tome—to make space for people of color to be seen and to shine. And ultimately, to prosper.

12/28/2014 ... The course with Anat in Perth was well worth the money and long journey (a few hours as I am from Melb) over to Western Australia, and the extended stay. Anat's pool is very unique and lends itself to the modality perfectly.
I loved it as Anat was very patient and well organised with our small group.
Having been an aquatic instructor for 31 years to 2010 in all fields of instruction and rec mgt, I could not believe that I had never heard or come across this modality before 2010. I travelled from Perth after this course to then study Aquatic Bodywork under the other Australian seasoned Instructor Masta, located at the back of Byron Bay (plane from Perth WA to Gold Coast Qld, bus to Tyaggarah, rental car to Byron Bay-planes, trains, and automobiles !) for a further week of 50 hours and again this was augmented by practice hours of 17 hours. Again the extensive travel was well worth the incredibly vast journey as I was able to gain yet other perspectives of Watsu and its practices. Sheer bliss and wonderful setting. Within this Byron Bay Course with Masta there was a visiting instructor from Auroville India, so I was very lucky.
12/25/2011 ... Watsu is the most brilliant aquatic technique I know and very recommended for its powerful influence for both body and mide.


I have a Pentax super A 35mm special addition no 0490 (original certificate to prove) of a limited addition of 2,000 with extras. Perfect condition as it was my farther who died many years ago.
Any ideas what it is worth and how to sell?

Richard dropped some garbage off at the dump: a porcelain toilet, a sink, a hot water heater, a shower – so you can imagine, he is trying to get a new bathroom installed in the cabin this week.
He is also trying to get all of the yard work done, some front steps made, mattresses pick up, a new weed whipper purchased, an old one repaired, the metal taken to the dump, the plastics contained somehow and all of the old wood and the new underbrush taken down to the burn pile.
I believe he can do it.
As well, he brought out wonderful games, one being a slacker.
Two lines have been tied to the trees, the height of a child apart and a foot off of the ground. Michael, Alice and Betty can walk across it now like a tight rope.
As well, on another side are some hanging bars.
e found a ladder by the boat house so that is leaning up against a tree, but serves no purpose.
Moiya allowed us to eat the cherries from her trees.
She says that they are Bings and aren't ripe until they are close to the colour black.
We cannot wait that long.
We all take a handful.
While we are not eating the white ones, if there is a lot of red on a cherry, it is being popped into my mouth and I am not the only one.
The children have taken two walks to the water. I have only taken one – one that lead us down to the second camp where we can find those fire cherries to eat.
They don't have half of the pulp around them that the commercial varieties of cherries that are up at Moiya's house have. But the pin cherries have the distinct advantage of being right by the water when we want to play spit the cherry pit again.
A storm was coming in from the narrows. The wind was blowing In the trees. Small branches were falling on the road. Joan and I were sweeping the rocks off of the docks.
Michael was throwing drift wood into the water.
Tonight no one was really interested in the waves since it was cooler – way more fun to jump the waves when the sun is beating on bare shoulders.
We stopped to look at the brooms that the CPR uses to sweep the tracks.
the heat of an electric oven to make a perfect crepe?
Three of them are there now – black wire-like bristles with no hint of softness about them.
I have never seen a sign like that before.
Joan asked me how to make the basket out of thimble berry leaves.
Betty began to collect items for the basket: a few daisies, some small yellow flowers and a handful of extremely small rocks.
The next day I see the little wilted salmon berry leaf basket on the front porch.
Joan carried it all the way to the house, but what to do with it when it gets here?
next best thing to being there... reading the account!
You make me feel like I am right there with you. Arta, you also made me laugh. I think the "tightrope" game it is called a slackline, not a slacker. A slacker is a person who doesn't do the work they are supposed to do.
The toy is called Slaker Ninja Cargo Set. $79 I can't get used to it myself. I go with your definition of slaker.
What is going on in the lake?

Check Out UFC Fighter Chuck Liddell's $1.3 Million House
Courtesy of Zillow.com
Although he's best known as a UFC — Ultimate Fighting Champion — Hall of Famer who easily defeated opponents, Chuck Liddell also tried his hand at a less violent sport with a stint on Dancing with the Stars in 2009.
Click here to tour the house >>
Chuck Liddell's home is for sale on the San Luis Obispo real estate market for $1.2 million. Although "The Iceman" owns a few houses in the area, TMZ reports that the 4,600-square-foot home was Liddell's primary residence. According to property records, Liddell purchased the luxury estate for $1,275,000 in 2006, at the height of the real estate bubble as well as his MMA (mixed martial arts) career. Median San Luis Obispo home values have dropped 9.5 percent year-over-year. Liddell has priced his home to model that decline; his home is listed at 8.3 percent less than what it sold for in 2006.
The heavyweight champion began his career studying a host of martial arts techniques and is one of the people most credited making mixed martial arts a recognized American sport. For several years, he was the biggest star in the franchise, drawing millions of viewers to pay-per-view broadcast fights. He retired in 2010.
Described as a place fit for "an MTV Cribs lifestyle with out the hustle and bustle of a big city," Liddell's home has 5 bedrooms, two of which are master suites, and 4 bathrooms. The home features high-end details like a grand foyer, spiral staircase, and gourmet kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. The backyard has an in-ground pool, spa with rock slide and waterfall as well as a built-in BBQ and sink.
The listing is held by Melissa Kues of The Real Estate Group of San Luis Obispo.

Jamie Laing Family: History, Mystery And Interesting Bits
It's nice being the heir of a family business, even more, if it's a century-old widely popular and well-liked digestive biscuit business.
It would be easy to prepare to become the heir of that company and live life to the fullest. But, some would still go out of their way to do what they love, develop their own business, and create their own success mark.
Jamie Laing has proven himself over and over again, despite coming from a wealthy and popular family. He is the heir of his great-great grandfather's digestive biscuit company, TV star with his own fans and followers who adore him, and a successful entrepreneur.
Let's dig into the digestive biscuit, Jamie Laing's family and his ventures!
A Background Check On Jamie Laing…
Image Source/Business Insider
The young lad was born in Oxford to Penny and Nicholas. More interestingly, his great-great-grandfather was Sir Alexander Grant who created the McVitie's digestive biscuits in 1892.
Despite being the heir of McVitie's fortune, Jamie went about his childhood and education without much hooha.
After attending Radley College, he pursued Theatre and Performance at the University of Leeds.
This definitely fueled his ventures into the English entertainment industry where he seems to be doing rather well.
Jamie Laing's Various Ventures And Talents…
Source/YouTube
Jamie Laing gained popularity through his appearance in the reality show Made In Chelsea since 2011. He has also made guest appearances on various shows such as The Jonathan Ross Show, Loose Women, Celebrity Juice, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice, Virtually Famous, Reality Bites, Up Late with Ryan, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Sunday Brunch, to name a few.
He also appeared in Celebrity Hunted with another Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.
Apart from appearances and being a reality star, Jamie Laing has also acted in shows such as Hollyoaks, Murder in Successville, and Drunk History, adding on to his long list of talents.
Jamie Laing's more recent venture includes the podcast he runs with his friend Francis Boulle titled Private Parts.
Evidently, his podcast has been met with great enthusiasm and praises!
Jamie And Dance?
Image Source/News Puddle
Unfortunately, his venture into the world of dancing was put to a halt due to a foot injury. Named as one of the celebrities of Season 17 of Strictly Come Dancing, James had to opt out just two days before the airing.
But, Jamie could have nailed it as he studied contemporary dance during university. But, he recalls it to be a skewed experience. So, maybe not!
"When it came to finally enrolling in my course, people had already picked what they wanted to do and the only thing that was left was contemporary dance.
"So for the whole first year, I had to do a contemporary dance.
"All of my friends were sitting in the front row and they were all laughing at me and I thought 'this sucks', so my experience of dance has been skewed a bit by that.
"It was the worst thing in the world, I'd wake up every day and think why have I done this".
However, Kelvin Fletcher who replaced James won the show and we are not sure if it added salt to James' wound or made him feel great for Kevin!
Before That, What's The Deal With McVitie's And The Fortune That Comes With It?
Image Source/The Mirror
Starting as an apprentice for a baker, Sir Alexander Grant became an assistant at McVitie and Price where he created the original recipe for digestive biscuit.
With a secret recipe for the biscuit that contained high content of baking soda to aid digestion (hence, the name!), it became a top favourite among the people.
Fun Fact: McVitie's fans were quite recently furious after they altered the digestive's taste by cutting down the amount of saturated fat by 80%.
Alexander went on to be the chairman and managing director of McVitie's.
After he passed on, the company was inherited by Alexander's grandson-in-law who was also Jamie's great-uncle.
However, in 2000, the company was sold to private equity investors.
However, Jamie Doesn't Have A Clue About The Money!
Image Source/Grazia Daily
Jamie has revealed that he doesn't know anything about the money from the company.
Apparently, he is not aware of where the money from the selling of the company went.
"We sold the company a long time ago, but I don't know where that money went.
"I haven't seen any of it. It's pretty upsetting.
"I'm hoping one day I find it… I don't even get free biscuits."
But, even without the money from McVitie's digestives, Jamie's net worth is estimated to be around £2 million!
All thanks to his very own sweets business!
Jamie Laing And His Candy Kittens Dreams

Looks like it runs in the blood!
Whether or not Jamie get his share of McVitie's, he has set his own path in the world of confectionery.
He runs his own sweet company Candy Kittens which was launched in 2012.
Starting out with a pop-up shop on Kings Road with gluten-free and health-conscious candies with natural colours and flavours, the business has grown to be on the shelves of Harvey Nichols, Fenwick, Topshop Selfridges, Waitrose and more.
Believe it or not, he got his inspiration from Abercrombie & Fitch!
"I have wanted to open my own candy shop since I was about eight years old,' he says.
"Candy Kittens was inspired by the clothes shop Abercrombie & Fitch. All their staff are beautiful people, so I thought, "Why not do the same with a sweet shop?"
A Bigger And Better Candy Kittens
Image Source/Appear Here
With Ed Williams, the managing director of Candy Kittens, the business grew and is now aiming to expand.
Apparently, Ed Williams is a pillar of strength to the company!
"Ed Williams is just one of the most genius people I've ever met in my entire life. I came across him by chance through a friend and he works so hard. We are very different. I always say, we are like a triangle, we're so different at the start but then we both go the same way, and I think that's the beauty of it.
"I'm probably the bane of his life in so many different ways but he is the engine. I can go and do my filming and do other things and he is here making sure everything's going OK."
Now, how's that for a great side kick?
So, What's Special With Candy Kittens?

According to Jamie,
"There's this big sort of stigma towards sugar. We realise we're sugar, we're a treat. But we're gluten-free, we're natural flavours, natural fruit juices.
"We're going down vegetarian options, we do everything we possibly can to make them as unartificial as possible but at the same time, we are a treat. We're not one of those cereal bars that say we're super healthy but then they're full of sugar."
On To Those Interesting Bits…
Jamie has a tattoo of a black cartoon cat with the words 'Candy Kittens' on his hip bone! Talk about being dedicated and passionate to his company!
His life ambition is to become the 'Willy Wonka and Hugh Hefner of Chelsea'.
He wants hand-picked teams of gorgeous and scantily dressed girls to be the staff in his company.
He is often stopped in the street to sign biscuit wrappers.
Jamie has dated a long list of women who appeared in Made in Chelsea, including Louise Thompson, Lucy Watson, Tara Keeney, Phoebe Lettice-Thompson, Riley Uggla, Naz Gharai, Jess Woodley, Frankie Gaff and Clemmie Cuthbertson.
Jamie Laing's Sound Advice To Those Starting Their Own Business…
Trying to be sexy and intellectual at the same time!! #kempinskimuscat
A post shared by Jamie Laing (@jamielaing) on Jan 9, 2020 at 12:48pm PST
Listen up, you young business people. If it worked for Laing, it might work for you too.
According to Laing:
"Hard work. 100%. I think you can have a great idea but if you have a bad team it's just not going to work out. Team is so important.
"The reason Ed and I started the brand isn't because we wanted to make millions of pounds and be super-rich; the reason we wanted to do it is because we love creating brands.
"Someone always told me, business is paid in two currencies: cash and experience. Take the experience first, because the cash will come later.
"When you first go and do something, you do it because you're going to make mistakes but experience everything, understand what you're doing before you go, "Where's the money?"
"Because if you're just chasing money you're never going to do it. We're still making mistakes. We had no idea what we were doing [when we first started].
"Packets of sweets? No idea. We just had to learn, or we were falling down the hill."
More Tips Coming Up…
Calling all coconuts 🥥
A post shared by Jamie Laing (@jamielaing) on Dec 3, 2019 at 1:59pm PST
Laing also shared tips on how to become a successful entrepreneur.
"Have an idea and create the perfect team around it. Why Wales' rugby team always did well is that they were such a good team.
"If you're a team you don't have to be the best at whatever, but everyone having a vision and everyone having their individual places within that team [is important so] that you can just boss it."
Considering Laing didn't have any mentors to lean on to during his entrepreneurial journey, his tips could actually help you learn from his mistakes and experience.
So, what are you waiting for? Channel your inner Jamie Laing and rock it!
Jamie And His Social Media Presence
As an entertainer and entrepreneur, it is only natural that Jamie has his social media profiles in mint condition!
His YouTube channel, Jamie Laing's Happy Hour is a platform for him to create and entertain without any limitations.
He said,
"I started to do YouTube because I think loads of people watch YouTube and loads of people are drifting away from TV slightly. It's like Jamie's Happy Hour because it's just a place to entertain people.
"I've always wanted to entertain. On television you have commissioners, you have to jump through so many hoops, it's very boring and tiring, so I thought, what I'll do is I'll just create a platform for myself where I can showcase everything that I want to do without people telling me no."
And, his Twitter literally explodes with his daily Tweets! Look for yourself!
