Depression is costing the UK economy £10bn, figures highlighted by Jo Swinson have revealed.
The figures, calculated by the House of Commons library, are revealed on national 'Stress Down Day', organised by the Samaritans to help people in need of emotional support. The mental health charity 'Mind' has said that much of the expenditure on depression could be preventable by tackling factors such as stress at work.
"Depression isn't just soul destroying – it costs us all a lot of money.
"If we are going to tackle depression, we need to go out and deal with preventable causes like stress at work.


Don't know which engineering specialisation to pick? Tossing up between your favourites? The time to decide is coming up fast! That is why MESS, along with the academic clubs are running a fantastic stream selection seminar to help YOU make the right choice.
We will be inviting fourth to final year students from each stream to share what their stream is about, why they absolutely love what they are studying, and also the tips and tricks on how to perform, whether it be 'P's get degrees' or HD's!
Speakers will be actual students, from MESS and the academic clubs – and we will also be having student teams come in to share their projects.
Discussion will include unit progression, scary units to look out for, assignment weightings, types of assessments, and industry prospects.
This is the perfect way to get an honest student view of what the next few years will be like for you.


Well, everyone here is counting down to the 6:30pm EST premiere of Madonna's "W.E." This morning only 100 people showed up for the first press screening–there were over 500 seats available. The low turnout was rationalized because the movie had already been screened for Canadian press, and two other big films not seen in Venice were showing simultaneously. However, the big "W.E." gala at Roy Thomson Hall is a hot hot ticket. I'll keep you updated on Twitter as the night unfolds. And we'll talk about "W.E." tomorrow. It's a gorgeously filmed and edited feature film debut, that's for sure.


Since Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.17713.1002 (rs5_release) was installed, Rescue Console will try to start, then immediately close and give me the crash screen. I send the report to Logmein.
I rolled it back to the previous version and it works fine... But you know Win10, it will NOT let you stay with the previous version for more than 7 days... So I updated every driver, made sure the software was updated...Figured it was the best I could do before letting it update to the latest Win10 Insider Preview again, but after I did... It stopped working. We also have GotoAssist and that works just fine, it's just LogMeIn Rescue Console.
So, I installed it on another PC and it works fine on there also, UNTIL Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.17713.1002 (rs5_release) gets installed. So while, yes, I can roll it back and get it to work, it'll only be a short time until this release is pushed out to everyone and will be a major issue.
Has anyone else ran into this, or have ideas? I've submitted it to LMI and Microsoft, but no response from either.
The newest TC and Applets have been uploaded to our Beta site. Please feel free to test it.
What is your Technician Console's version number? Could you try it with our Beta TC?
Could you try it with the latest Win10 insider version too?
LogMeIn Guardian has detected a problem with the LogMeIn software installed on this machine. The error report has been successfully sent to LogMeIn. Reference ID: '36b70f7dc1ffd8bc20d9549bb73497b7'.
For now, I'll roll back the beta version once again... Unless you have a new idea?
@sv5 Still can't get it to work and need to start using Rescue again... so rolling back to previous Windows. Is there any fixes coming? I've had a lot of work in Beta testing, I'm glad to help solve this problem... Since I've found this exact same problem on 3 different PCs (and 3 different brands of PCs), I'm sure it is not going to be an isolated problem... and Microsoft is saying this update will begin pushing out late September most likely... so time is ticking for this to be a huge issue for LogMeIn Rescue.
I'm sorry for the delayed answer just I was in PTO. Finally I could reproduce it too based on the information that you have provided. We are very happy to see your hard work in Beta testing and we are working on the fix.
Just FYI, they came up with a new beta, so now all rolling it back does, it rolls it back to the previous beta, which also didn't work. So now, I have no way to use LogMeIn Rescue anymore until a fix is made my LMI.
Currently you are using an unsupported OS version. Our dev has found the root cause of the issue, but it is a longer process to fix and test it before we can upload it to Beta.
If by unsupported OS version, you mean I'm using the latest version of Windows Beta, which will be forced out to everyone with Windows 10 in a couple weeks, taking down a large percentage of your customers if not fixed before then and you are thankful for my help, then awesome. You are welcome. If not, I'll just uninstall LMI and move on, because while LMI is our mainly used product at the moment, we use 5 other products and none of those are having a problem with the latest beta version of Windows.
I'm sorry, but you misunderstood me.
The beta version is not supported. Thankfully for your help the fix is under developing. It will be available in the close future, before the MS launches that given Beta update to their Live version. But we are not planning to share you and all of our customers an untested alpha build, just to support a Beta Indsider Preview version of the Windows 10.
We are going to upload a stable, tested version to Beta soon, but at this moment I cannot tell any exact date yet.
Would I be able to help with the Alpha testing? Seems to make since, since I am on the beta team for Windows 10 and nVidia video drivers.... I'd be glad to help on early testing. I know what I am asking isn't for everyone, but I have been writing and alpha/beta testing software since 1983 and love catching bugs and getting them fixed... especially products we use.... But if you have enough in place already, I understand.

Q: On Liberty by John Stuart Mill- please explain the meaning of following sentence If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
Please help me understand the exact meaning being conveyed here.

A: We use no more … than, or not any more … than to compare two things and say that the first thing is not greater than the second thing. No more than is more formal than not any more than.
Mill is saying that the justification for the majority to silence the minority (the first thing) is not any greater than the justification for the minority to silence the majority (the second thing).
No more, not any more (Cambridge Dictionary)

Become an alien tycoon by selling used parts in Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator
By Christopher Livingston published 14 January 21
The organ trade is booming. Time to corner the market.
Here's the good news: Your body is a potential bonanza of cash. All those internal organs you've got are worth a bundle, and it wouldn't be hard to find someone willing to pay top dollar for your lungs, kidneys, eyeballs, intestines, and whatever other gross, squishy, yet highly useful items you've got sloshing around inside you.
Unfortunately, removing and selling all your organs would kill you, but as an organ trader in Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, that's someone else's problem. You're just there to corner the market by buying and selling organs in outer space, and it looks like there's a demand for just about everything, from adrenal glands to small intestines to human bladders.
Sounds like it may be trickier than just buying low and selling high. You need to store these precious, vulnerable organs while you're looking for buyers, and that might be dicey because "organs drain and boost each other (or explode in awful little pieces)" in your spaceship's hold. Plus, some organs you'll come across are vampiric, which means they'll snack on whatever other meaty cargo you've got stored. You'll also have to deal with competing traders and random events (like the organ hauler's union going on strike) while you try to turn a profit in the cutthroat (literally!) business of organ trading.
Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is coming to us from developer Strange Scaffold and directed by Xalavier Nelson Jr. (who has written for PC Gamer a number of times in the past). You'll be able to get your hands on the grisly alien tycoon game sometime in 2021.
Christopher Livingston
Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.

There's a lot of advice out there for new (and experienced) investors, and it can be hard to sift through it all to find the best stuff. So when I find something particularly helpful, I like to pass it along.
Paige Craig, a founder and managing partner of Arena Ventures, has some excellent blog posts in which he shares his own experiences in a really honest and transparent way. His stories and advice have some incredibly useful insights for both investors and entrepreneurs.
Paige is also an experienced angel investor who has invested in over 110 startups, including AngelList, Twitter, Wish and Zenpayroll.
These two posts from Paige are both fantastic. Thanks, Paige!


*A large percentage of young people do not have a positive or Christian male role model engaged in their lives.
*There are very few high school or affordable secondary school automotive trade programs available in greater Austin.
*There is an increasing need for automotive technicians and mechanics throughout the automotive industry. Many good techs will age out in the next few years.
*Statistics show that 27% of vocationally skilled workers earn more than those with a bachelor's degree.
*Vocational employers indicate that 40% of their job vacancies are due to a lack of skilled or properly trained workers.

Six brands making good use of Pinterest, and two that aren't
By David Moth	 June 12th 2012 14:19
Pinterest has come from nowhere to become one of the biggest social networks in the US, though its popularity in the UK has so far failed to live up to the hype.
Even so, brands can't afford to ignore it, as anecdotal evidence suggests that Pinterest drives more sales than Facebook.
We've previously looked at some ways to use Pinterest as a brand, and the A-Z of Pinteresting brands, and here are six more brands that are experimenting in interesting ways with the social network.
They aren't necessarily those with the most followers, but are good examples of brands using Pinterest to try and engage with their consumers.
And I also included two that need to put in a bit more effort…
IKEA UK
The Swedish furniture store has 15 pinboards, including product ideas and a 'pin it to win it' competition. It uses great-looking images to link to individual items or collections of products for different rooms.
Some of the images also include price information so it essentially acts as an extension of its catalogue. One of its more unusual boards is for its True Blue product range that is inspired by Indian Culture.
The images are very striking but it doesn't appear to link to its homepage, which is a missed opportunity.
The clothing brand's 16 pinboards have clocked up 1,362 followers.
As with IKEA, it essentially uses Pinterest as an extension of its catalogue by using high quality images back to its e-commerce site.
HoF has created 21 pinboards so it clearly sees the benefits of Pinterest, but it still only has 64 followers so has some way to go before it catches up with some of its competitors.
This could be due to the fact that the social network is still struggling to really catch on with UK consumers. Even so, its boards are a good mix of its own products and repinned images that link to fashion and design blogs.
ASOS has taken to Pinterest with real gusto, creating 35 boards with 6,848 followers. It includes product ideas, lifestyle and celebrity content, and competitions.
Unlike some other retailers ASOS also gets the social aspect of Pinterest and has repinned a number of images that link to other blogs and articles.
L'Oreal UK
L'Oreal's product range should mean that it is perfectly suited to Pinterest, yet it's account only has 58 followers.
Yet it has created five good pinboards that make the most if its association with celebrities to promote its brand values rather than going for a hard sell.
For example, two of the boards are used to highlight its sponsorship of the Cannes Film Festival.
The fashion retailer's eight boards are predominantly full of links to products, but it also has a few that contain more general fashion and lifestyle content.
It has four 'lookbooks' that for men, women, TRF, and kids that link directly to its global e-commerce platform.
And two not doing it so well…
Pinterest is still a new medium for brands, but Nike Football can surely do better than this.
Assuming it is genuinely an official account, why has the brand created three pinboards but not uploaded any images?
Also, alerting users to the fact that one of the main objectives of the page is to "drive traffic through to nike.com/nikefootball" is probably a bad idea.
Presumably, this is the start of Nike's Pinterest page, but it would have been better to have at least taken time to add a few images.
Abercrombie has two Pinterest accounts, one that is presumably for displaying its products and another one for "testing only".
However, the two accounts include eight boards between them with just three pinned images.
Blog Community Management Pinterest Social Strategy User Experience and Usability
Blog User Experience and Usability
Mobile site review: Asda
Asda has recently put the finishing touches to a mobile strategy that it predicts will help double its m-commerce revenues in the next six months.
More than 6% of the retailer's orders are currently placed on a mobile device, so it has launched smartphone apps and a mobile optimised site to cater for this demand.
The iPhone app has already been downloaded by more than half a million people in six months and its new Android app has clocked up 75,000 downloads since last month.
With more than 10m customers registered online, the mobile site is also a major opportunity for driving sales.
We recently reviewed the mobile checkouts for the top 20 online retailers, so how does Asda's stack up?
Blog Strategy
How to choose a format for your brand guidelines
Your brand guidelines and brand manual are the most important documents your company will ever produce.
A bold statement, but the truth is that these documents are your brand 'bible'. They communicate why you exist, tell your brand stories, and communicate how it should be expressed.
Everyone tasked with communicating your brand should be consulting these instruction manuals whenever they are creating branded materials.
In many businesses the reality is somewhat different. Time and effort are spent creating brand guidelines, only for them to be left on someone's hard drive or copies printed, distributed and 'filed' in the bottom of the marketing team's drawers.
Brand consistency suffers as people may not thoroughly understand the brand.
Five fashion brands boosting traffic with Facebook apps
Pinterest's rise from niche website to social powerhouse has been built largely on the back of fashion and lifestyle users.
And we've seen a few case studies recently that suggest Pinterest users are worth more to e-commerce sites than visitors from Twitter or Facebook.
Perhaps to reassert its authority as the number one social network, Facebook has released stats to show that its platform is just as popular with "shopaholics and fashionistas."
A developer blog post by Austin Haugen flags up five examples of fashion brands that have increased traffic and mobile installs through the use of Open Graph apps.

England will lose the war with Scotland.
Parliament called upon by Charles I when he was desperate for money after Scotland defeated English armies. Parliament was very divided internally though over religion. Charles finally agreed to demands by Parliament:

- Leaders of those who persecuted Puritans to be tried & executed
- Star Chamber abolished
- Common law courts followed above king's courts

What is Subluxation? How does it affect the body?
What Causes Vertebral Subluxation? What are the most effective treatments?
Vertebral subluxation is a condition of the spinal column. Chiropractors and Medical doctors have differing definitions of subluxation. Medical doctors refer to "significant structural displacements" as subluxations, whereas chiropractors suggest that any disfunctional displacement of the spinal column should be referred to as a subluxation, whether or not it is "significant."
Simply stated, vertebral subluxation occurs when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. The nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine are referred to as spinal nerves. The pressure on the nerves can cause the nerves to malfunction and might interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.
The World Health Organization, WHO, definines chiropractic vertebral subluxation as:
"A lesion or dysfunction in a joint or motion segment in which alignment, movement integrity and/or physiological function are altered, although contact between joint surfaces remains intact. It is essentially a functional entity, which may influence biomechanical and neural integrity."
Spinal or vertebral subluxation has been controversial since 1895 when the phrase was first introduced. Some chiropractors claim that subluxation affects many other systems of the body (physical, mental, emotional) and has dramatic effects on health and disease. However, others in the chiropractic profession reject this concept and do not use subluxation as a diagnositc tool. Nonallopathic lesion is a phrase that has been commonly used in the United States and Canada instead of subluxation as a diagnosis.
What Areas of the Body are Affected with Vertebral Subluxation?
Chart showing the corresponding body parts and organs effected by vertebral subluxation and possible symptoms (eg, croup, diarrhea, bladder problems, bronchitis, migraines, constipation, etc.)
According to Chiropractors who agree with the dramatic effects of subluxation on the body, multiple symptoms can occur as a result of the pressure placed on the spinal nerves.
For example, some chiropractors profess that subluxation pressure on the nerves in the cervical spine can result in headaches, migraines, allergies, head colds, arm pain, hand and finger numbness, vision problems, stiff neck and others. For some it is believed that subluxation pressure on the thoracic vertebrae spinal nerves can result in middle back pain, difficulty breathing, asthma, liver conditions, stomach problems, gastritis, and other syndromes. Subluxation of the lumbar vertebrae, is thought by some to result in constipation, diarrhea, gas pain, menstrual problems, and pain or numbness in the legs, for example.
Chiropractors use Xrays and spinal manipulation to correct spinal subluxations
What Do Chiropractors Claim to Do to Help Remedy Subluxation?
Chiropractors try to locate subluxations and reduce or correct them. They generally use X-rays to determine and make a diagnosis. The physical exam typically includes a variety of assessments, such as range of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, muscle strength comparisons, and neurological and orthopedic tests focused on your complaint or goal.
Treatment is generally done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. The chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic manipulation that uses controlled force, leverage, direction, amplitude, and velocity directed at specific joints. With subluxation, the goal is to free the pressure that is placed upon the spinal nerve by moving the displaced bone, to bring the vertebrae into normal alignment.
Are Vertebral Subluxation Charts an Effective Diagnostic and Prescriptive Tool?
Research studies show chiropractic treatment can sometimes be a statistically significant method of treatment for relieving musculoskeletal pain, although more studies are needed. A 2004 Cochrane review by Bronfort and others found evidence that suggests spinal manipulation may be effective for migraine, tension headache and cervicogenic headaches. Other similar studies found chiropractic care to be helpful in lower back pain and neck and shoulder pain, directly related to spinal or postural misalignment.
There is a controversy over the accuracy of subluxation theory and the use of charts as a diagnostic tool.
Although studies exist to show chiropractic treatment effective in relieving pain, at this time, there is no significant evidence to support the effectiveness of subluxation theory as a diagnostic tool, and no evidence that using spinal manipulation and vertebral alignment is an effective treatment for other non-musculoskeletal syndromes or illnesses (such as cough, diarrhea, constipation, allergies, etc). Multiple studies show that using subluxation to cure illness or disease is not successful at a statistically significant level. Mirtz, and other researchers (2009) in a study entitled, "An epidemiological examination of the subluxation construct using Hill's criteria of causation," concluded:
"There is a significant lack of evidence to fulfill the basic criteria of causation. This lack of crucial supportive epidemiologic evidence prohibits the accurate promulgation of the chiropractic subluxation."
According to Professor Philip S. Bolton of the School of Biomedical Sciences at University of Newcastle, Australia in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics,
"The traditional chiropractic vertebral subluxation hypothesis proposes that vertebral misalignment cause illness, disease, or both. This hypothesis remains controversial…. Animal models suggest that vertebral displacements and putative vertebral subluxations may modulate activity in group I to IV afferent nerves. However, it is not clear whether these afferent nerves are modulated during normal day-to-day activities of living and, if so, what segmental or whole-body reflex effects they may have."
Keating and others (2005) concluded,
"The dogma of subluxation is perhaps the greatest single barrier to professional development for chiropractors. It skews the practice of the art in directions that bring ridicule from the scientific community and uncertainty among the public. Failure to challenge subluxation dogma perpetuates a marketing tradition that inevitably prompts charges of quackery. Subluxation dogma leads to legal and political strategies that may amount to a house of cards and warp the profession's sense of self and of mission. Commitment to this dogma undermines the motivation for scientific investigation of subluxation as hypothesis, and so perpetuates the cycle."
Conclusion and Summary
Vertebral subluxation or a nonallopathic lesion is a condition where one or more bones of the spine are out of alignment and are putting pressure on the spinal nerves. This can be treated by spinal manipulation, physical therapy, or even surgery. Traditional subluxation theory professes that subluxation can create other illnesses. Although traditional chiropractic vertebral subluxation theory is popular, whether or not vertebral misalignment causes illness, disease, or both, in other areas of the body and whether chiropractic vertebral adjustment can eliminate this disease or condition, still remains uncertain, and not yet statistically significant and proven by scientific data. It may very well be true, but currently there is no evidence to support traditional chiropractic subluxation theory. However, a limited number of studies on chiropractic spinal manipulation have proven chiropractic treatment to be a significant and cost-effective treatment for many cases of lower back pain, neck pain, migraines, tension headache and cervicogenic headaches. These studies were limited, however, and more studies are needed.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC? According to the General Chiropractic Council, chiropractic is "a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health."
WHAT HAPPENS IN A CHIROPRACTIC SESSION?
Typically the chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, your general health and previous health challenges or symptoms. He or she will give you an examination and examine your spine and posture. The chiropractor will try to determine your source of discomfort or pain, and might choose to x-ray your spine. The initial assessment is typically 45 minutes to 60 minutes. The chiropractor will most likely describe a plan of treatment for you and may give you a spinal adjustment. If you are asked to undress you should be offered a gown.
The chiropractor uses a variety of manual techniques with the main technique being spinal manipulation. He or she might manipulate, muscles, bones, and joints around the spine. Usually this is not painful but there many be some discomfort around the joint. If you have significant discomfort, tell your doctor immediately. You may hear loud sounds during manual manipulation. This is a normal part of manual manipulation.
WHAT IS THE THEORY AND HISTORY OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE?
Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer. D.D. Palmer was a grocer, a magnetic healer and was interested in phrenology (diagnosing disease based on the bumps of the skull) and spiritualism. It is believed that Palmer discovered the principle of chiropractic when he allegedly cured a janitor of his deafness by manipulating his cervical spine (the neck). However, this may or may not be true since the hearing mechanism is not connected to the nerve passageways in the neck.
The term "chiropractic," is translated to mean "done by hand" and was created by Palmer. Palmer created the subluxation theory based on the principle that all disease is caused by subluxated bones, which 95% of the time are spinal bones, and which disrupt the flow of energy to the various areas of the body. Palmer didn't not base any of his ideas on research, but rather went directly to treating patients and to creating a school for training chiropractors in his methods.

HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT HELP?
Chiropractic treatment has been very helpful to people all around the world for the management and relief of a variety of problems such as:
Back and Neck conditions
Arm and wrist pain
Repetitive Stress Disorders
Stress and Tension Disorders
and other Chronic Injuries
HOW EFFECTIVE IS CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
Research studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of of Chiropractic treatment for migraine headaches, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal disorders and other disorders. Patient satisfaction surveys and research studies have been conducted to determine customer satisfaction on the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic care has a high success rate among patient satisfaction, and show that 90% of patients feel that their treatment has been effective.

The product of a gradual, four-year process and finished during lockdown, 'The View From Halfway Down' was made by Andy Bell, engineered by Gem Archer and mastered by Heba Kadry. Back in 2016, Andy was inspired by David Bowie's death to be more proactive about finishing his songs, more confident about sharing them and to channel all of this into finally making a solo album. He laid down some tracks in former Beady Eye and Oasis bandmate Gem's studio, but got diverted when Ride's live reunion blossomed into a full return. A run of two albums, an EP and two world tours later, it would take a pandemic to give Andy the space to complete 'The View From Halfway Down'.

What makes Honda engines amazing?
"vtec just kicked in yo"
But what if your little race against the Mustang next to you ends up with a lighting up engine control light and a missing "kick"? Your ECU wants to inform you about a malfunction in the VTEC system.
Removing and checking the solenoid is no big job. You only need a ratchtet or a wrench. The solenoid is located at the backside of the engine, just above the exhaust header. It's mounted to the cylinder head with three bolts. The little bolt on the right side hasn't to be removed, it just attaches the headshield to the solenoid but you can remove the whole part as once.
1) Unplug the two plugs of the engine harness which are connected to the solenoid itself and to the oil pressure switch.
2) Unscrew the three bolts which connect the solenoid to the cylinder head. If the engine is installed in the car, it's a bit difficult to locate the bolts because you can't see them from above. A little mirror eases the process a lot. Hold the solenoid with one hand when it comes to unscrew the last of the three bolts.
3) Take the whole part out. Make sure not to tip the inlet of the solenoid downwards because there's still engine oil in it.
Let the remaining engine oil phase out the solenoid. There's a little filter with a metallic sieve on the inlet side. This sieve protects the solenoid from dirt particles in the engine oil.
In addition the solenoid should be cleaned out with brake cleaner. The chance is high that there are remaining dirt particles in it. Of course you should change engine oil and engine oil filter too.
After you'd plugged the two plugs back in you can start up the engine. Check for leakage while it's running.


I had to meet the interesting people who would name their winery "Wicked Virgin". The colourful banner waving in the wind welcomed us to this family operated Wicked Virgin Winery at Rutherglen on the Murray River in Victoria.
John and Laurel had planted vines and olives and have built a quaint mud brick earth building from an old shearing shed as their cellar door and cafe. Quaint, rustic, charming and welcoming, they have revisited the history of the region's wineries and the building of the Wicket Virgin estate, with photographs on the walls and albums and folder telling the stories of the wine industry around the area and the building of their cellar door.
Incorporating olive oil from their own grove and fresh produce on the menu, the café was busy the day we visited, with soup, frittata, and cheese being our choice for lunch. I chose a sparkling shiraz to enjoy with my cold plate.
The resident peacock kept the children entertained while they waited for their lunch and the green lawn and gardens overlooking the olive grove made us linger awhile and sit outside in the sun.
The Wicked Virgin Winery and Café was a great venue to spend a relaxing lunch and well worth the visit.

My name is Kasia and I am an experienced counsellor. I base my work on Gestalt therapy combined with CBT, Transactional Analysis's, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Person Centred approach.Using a combination of these approaches in theory makes me a humanistic integrative counsellor, however it is not scientific theories and big words that are the key to my successful client work.
What will really make you feel better is the experience of safe and confidential space, in which you will thrive on the unconditional acceptance and understanding that you will receive. Therapy is an opportunity to learn to build a healthy relationship, sometimes for the first time.
If you are truly ready to be honest with yourself I will give you the support and equip you with the right tools to get to know yourself and make the choice as to who you want to become.
Seeing my clients thrive in therapy and move on to thrive in their personal lives is the most fulfilling aspect of my work. Working towards this final pay off feeds my passion to provide highly effective therapeutic service and to constantly develop myself so I too, continuously strive to become the best possible version of myself.

The Knox Outreach program can be categorized into Local Community programs and Global Mission support.
In 1970 Rev. Bruce Scott was influential in the organizing of the Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA) which is the chief beneficiary of our donations for local outreach. In August, 2008 The Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA) and Knox signed a Food Partnership agreement - food donated each week by our congregation is transported to the ACSA food bank for distribution. Individuals and families in need who come to Knox seeking food or assistance are referred to ACSA for such assistance In addition, we coordinate appeals such as ACSA's request for backpacks and school supplies at the beginning of each school year. We ensure that offerings directed to specific organizations such as Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA) are appropriately forwarded.
Since January 2006, Knox has hosted an Out Of The Cold program in the Christian Education Centre Auditorium on Friday nights from November to March. Working together with other faith groups and organizations in Scarborough, we provide a hot dinner for up to 40 individuals, and a warm place to sleep, breakfast and a packed lunch for as many as 20 guests. It has been very rewarding to see the relationships and fellowship which have developed over these years, among the guests, and between guests and volunteers. Since 2009, Knox has full responsibility for the first night, at the beginning of November. In addition, at least one volunteer member of Knox sleeps in the Christian Centre each week, providing facilitation between the times the group responsible for the program that week leaves in the evening, and returns in the morning to provide breakfast.
Knox has been a supporter of Habitat for Humanity for a number of years. Members of Knox have participated in builds. and we have also been involved in providing lunches for Habitat volunteers. We have donated many, many aluminum pop cans which are sold to raise money in support of Habitat. As one of the 9 member churches of the Scarborough Faith Community Build group, Knox contributions helped the group to achieve its goal of raising $80,000 to build one Habitat house. The goal was reached in 2008, and the Anwar family was able to move into their new home. A recognition plaque received from Habitat is mounted in the Heritage Room.
Each winter, a group of Knox volunteers co-ordinates and staffs the Nearly New Shop, which is open every Wednesday afternoon. The Nearly New Shop provides members of the community with the opportunity to buy good quality used clothing at very-very low prices.
Proceeds from the sales are donated to many charitable organizations in the community.
Again last year, our congregation's strong support of the Mission and Service Fund enabled Knox to exceed our pledge. The M & S Fund is a United Church fund which supports programs in communities both in Canada and throughout the world. Each year, we have a special Mission and Service Sunday. We invite guest speakers, such as missionaries and others involved in the programs of the Mission and Service Fund, to share their experiences with the congregation.
From time to time, the Knox Outreach Committee launches special financial appeals, to assist communities affected by disasters such as Typhoons, hurricanes and earthquakes. In addition, we coordinate appeals such as ACSA's request for backpacks and school supplies at the beginning of each school year.
We also take opportunities to raise awareness of social justice issues in the congregation. Campaigns in the past, includes the collection of signatures on a petition sent to the Prime Minister asking that the Government support peace and respect for human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Benevolent Fund is used to support organizations in our local community. Each year, on Outreach Sunday, we invite a representative from one of these groups to inform the congregation about the work of their organization. Habitat for Humanity, Casey House, ACSA, Julliette's Place, Massey Centre and Out of the Cold are just some of the programs that our congregation has learned more about through these special services.
Our Global outreach is centrally coordinated and managed through the United Church of Canada (Church House) head office under the Mission and Service Fund.

In a recent tweet, you used our current cold weather to mock climate change science. Apparently, you don't understand the difference between weather and climate.
Weather refers to local temperatures, precipitation, etc., usually over a period of days or weeks. Climate refers to regional or even global patterns over years, centuries, or millennia. The terms Global Warming and Climate Change describe rising global temperatures and the resultant disruptions to earth's climate that have occurred since the mid-1800s, when the industrial revolution began.
That the Midwest, less than 1 percent of earth's surface, should encounter several days of severely cold weather, does not alter the fact that the earth is rapidly warming. In fact, 16 of the hottest 17 years on record have taken place since 2001.
Mr. President, 200 scientific organizations worldwide, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), not to mention the U.S. Department of Defense, have concluded that "human-forced" global warming is dangerously altering our planet's climate, resulting in ever-intensifying storms, floods, droughts, and fires, as well as the spread of disease, and tens of thousands of climate refugees. A recently released report by our own government predicts that these and other significant impacts will reach catastrophic proportions if we do not act immediately and aggressively to reduce our carbon emissions.
I hope this helps clear up your confusion. Oh, and if I may make one suggestion: Surely it would be better for America if you spent less time tweeting and more time working to solve this historic threat to life on our planet. Your grandchildren and mine will be very grateful you did.

Azolla cristata , the Carolina mosquitofern, Carolina azolla or water velvet, is a species of Azolla native to the Americas, in eastern North America from southern Ontario southward, and from the east coast west to Wisconsin and Texas, and in the Caribbean, and in Central and South America from southeastern Mexico (Chiapas) south to northern Argentina and Uruguay.

It is a freshwater aquatic fern, with scale-like fronds 5–10 mm long, green to reddish, most often reddish in strong light and in winter. They are covered in tiny protuberances called trichomes that give it the appearance of velvet. It is able to fix nitrogen from the air by means of symbiotic cyanobacteria. It can survive winter water temperatures of , with optimum summer growth between .

Identification
The only sure method of distinguishing this species from Azolla filiculoides is to examine the trichomes on the upper surfaces of the leaves. Trichomes are small protuberances that create water resistance. They are unicellular in A. filiculoides but septate (two-celled) in A. cristata.

Name
This species has long been known under the name Azolla caroliniana. However, research by Evrard & Van Hove  found that the type specimen of A. caroliniana actually consists of plants of Azolla filiculoides and so the name caroliniana has always been improperly applied to this species.

Cultivation and uses
Azolla cristata  is of commercial importance in cultivation in southern and eastern Asia as a bio-fertilizer, valued for its nitrogen-fixing ability, which benefits crops such as rice when the fern is grown under it and reduces the need for artificial fertilizer addition. The thick mat of fronds (up to 4 cm thick) also suppresses weed growth. Harvested fronds are also used as a food for fish and poultry. It is also often used as a floating plant in both coldwater and tropical aquaria, as well as in outdoor ponds; it is propagated by division.

BRITAIN SIGNS TREATY WITH MAORIS ONLY TO RENEGE ON IT
[ 6 February 1840 ]
On this day in 1840, a treaty was signed between representatives of the crown and five hundred Maoris chiefs, which while recognising ultimate British sovereignty over New Zealand, promised in return that "Her Majesty confirmed and guaranteed to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand the full, exclusive and undisturbed possession of all the lands which they collectively and individually governed as long as it was their wish and desire to retain the same in their possession."[1]
The treaty promised that native lands would be protected from encroachment by settlers. However, as the number of European immigrants continued to increase, the Foreign Office relented to pressure to renege on the treaty and in 1846 declared it could no longer be observed because it constituted "a bar to sound colonisation."[2]
BRITAIN SUPPLYING ARMS TO BOTH SIDES OF CONGO'S CIVIL WAR.
On this day in 2002, Tony Blair had to admit in the House of Commons that Britain was supplying arms to both sides of the civil war in Congo. He defended Britain's blatant profiteering from the conflict, adding "Don't forget there are jobs at stake !"[3]

Nanumanga (tuvaluanska  Nanumanga, även Nanumaga) är en ö i Tuvalu i sydvästra Stilla havet.

Geografi
Nanumanga ligger cirka 390 km nordväst om Funafuti.

Ön är av vulkaniskt ursprung och har en areal om cirka 2,78 km² med en längd på cirka 3 km och är cirka 1,5 km bred . Ön omges av ett korallrev.

Den högsta höjden är på endast några m ö.h. Ön har några små saltvattensjöar där Vaiatoa på öns norra del är den största.

Befolkningen uppgår till cirka 590 invånare  där cirka 300 bor i huvudorten Tonga (även Toga) på öns västra del och i övriga större byar Tokelau och Lemuli. Förvaltningsmässigt utgör ön ett eget "Island council" (distrikt).

Ön kan endast nås med fartyg då den saknar flygplats.

Historia
Tuvaluöarna beboddes av polynesier sedan 1000-talet f.kr..

Den spanske upptäcktsresanden Francisco Antonio Maurelle blev den 5 maj 1781 den förste europé att besöka Nanumanga som han då namngav till Isla de Cocal.

Tuvaluöarna hamnade 1877 under brittisk överhöghet där de i oktober 1892  deklarerades ett brittiskt protektorat och införlivades i Gilbert och Elliceöarna och från 1916 blev området en egen koloni.

1986 upptäcktes undervattensgrottor, de så kallade Fire Caves of Nanumaga, utanför öns norra del på cirka 40 meters djup.

Ryan: I Want to Marry Farrah
By Xana O'Neill	• Published May 15, 2009 • Updated on May 15, 2009 at 2:30 pm
As Farrah Fawcett nears her final days, longtime partner Ryan O'Neal said he has never loved her more and wants to wed the cancer-stricken star.
"I'd do that, I would do that," he said. "She's still a little bit hesitant. I'm working though, I'm working."
"You know she's been married, I've been married. She's said, 'We have a good thing.' But I said, 'You said that 30 years ago, shouldn't there be a sea change?' Maybe there is, you never know."
Farrah, now bed-ridden and bald, has battled anal cancer for two and a half years and is nearing the final stages of her struggle against the crippling disease that has spread to her liver -- a fight that is documented in a video diary that will air tonight on NBC.
"I want to stay alive. So I say to God, because it is, after all in his hands, 'It is seriously time for a miracle,'" Farrah tells the camera in the video diary.
"Of all the things I've ever hoped for in my life, finding a doctor to surgically remove my anal cancer did not even make the top one million on my list," she said.
O'Neal said he will wake the 62-year-old actress from a drug-induced slumber so they pair can watch the heartbreaking documentary that shows her painful struggle chronicled in doctors visits and hospitalizations together, the New York Daily News reported.
"It's a gruesome story," Ryan told Fox News during the premiere in Los Angeles last night. "It's a terrible story, but sometimes out of a terrible stories come a light and a hope."
In the intimate documentary, Farrah reveals her bald head, openly breaks down during doctors visits and shares a letter she drafted to Redmond, her son with O'Neal.
"For Redmond, my boy, I will always be there. When you are so very young, I will be there. When you fall, I will be there," she wept on camera. "When on day, you wake up and realize that I am gone, I will still be there, always. Always with you, forever in you, Redmond, my boy."
In one scene, Redmond, jailed for a probation violation, appears at his mother's bedside, climbing into the bed and sobbing as he tries to hide his leg shackles.
Redmond promised his mother that he would never touch drugs again during his three-hour, court-sanctioned visit last month.
Farrah's doctor told the "Today" show this morning that she's "doing well" but is losing her strength.
"She's weak and she's spending a lot of time in bed and resting," he said.
The video diary has also stirred controversy. The producer of the show filed suit Wednesday against O'Neal seeking creative control over the documentary, which he said he was cut out of the project and threatened by O'Neal.
The producer, Craig Nevius, claims in a suit filed Wednesday that O'Neal asked him to relinquish control of the company producing "Farrah's Story" and when Nevius declined "O'Neal physically threatened him," TMZ reported.
