UK's best forests to see this autumn
If you're looking for some road-trip inspiration this autumn, how about visiting one of the UK's spectacular forests?
Forests are a delightful place to be during this season, bursting with hues of red, russet and gold.
They provide both a stimulating and de-stressing environment, depending on what you need right now.
So, pack a pair of walking boots and get exploring some of the best woodlands that the UK has to offer in your motorhome.
Before we launch into listing some of the best forests to see this autumn, a word of warning: driving gets tricky and more dangerous around this time of the year, so it's essential that you have adequate motorhome insurance in place.
Getting the right kind of coverage means you can get on with all your travel adventures knowing you're protected in case of the unexpected.
Why visit a UK forest?
Now that we've got the safety bit out the way, we can put all our focus on forests – they're truly deserving of our attention, after all.
Why? Well, forests provide habitats for so many animals across the UK, while also offering watershed protection, preventing soil erosion and mitigating climate change.
Outside of the UK, forests provide a home to 300 million people, including 60 million indigenous people.
As the World Wide Fund for Nature points out: "When we take away the forest, it is not just the trees that go. The entire ecosystem begins to fall apart, with dire consequences for all of us."
In general, the UK public understands the importance of forests.
As per Forest Research's Public Opinion of Forestry 2019, UK and England, 95% of people in the UK and 94% in England agreed that forests and woodlands are important to the public because they are important places for wildlife.
Meanwhile, 93% in both the UK and England agreed that forests and woodlands are important to them because they provide a space to relax and de-stress.
How many forests are there in the UK?
A June 2019 report by Forest Research estimates that the UK has 1.40 million hectares of forestry, including all Forestry Commission, Forestry and Land Scotland, Natural Resources Wales, Forest Service woodland.
In terms of woodland in the UK, the report estimates it to be in the region of 3.19 million hectares.
What's the difference between woods and forests?
When you think of a forest in today's world, you immediately picture an area of wooded land. But forests weren't always considered an area with myriad trees.
In medieval times, a forest was similar to a preserve, i.e. land that is legally kept for specific purposes such as royal hunting.
So forests were areas large enough to support species such as wolves and deer for game hunting and they encompassed other habitats such as heaths, open grassland and farmland, too.
Woodlands are like forests (land covered with trees and vegetation) but on a smaller scale.
That's not to say, however, that they are any less important – plus, as the Forest Research shows, there is more of it.
The two terms are fairly interchangeable, though, with no exact figure on what separates a forest from a wood.
Who looks after Britain's forests and woodlands?
Although the state owns much of the wooded areas in Britain, government body, the Forestry Commission, maintains the majority of the woodlands and forests in England.
In Wales, the commission merged with Natural Resources Wales in 2013.
In Scotland, Forestry and Land Scotland looks after the woodlands while Scottish Forestry is responsible for policy and regulation.
In Northern Ireland, the Forest Service of Northern Ireland take responsibility.
The bodies have lots of land under their remit – but that wasn't always the case.
The First World War decimated lots of the UK's woodland areas.
Over the last 100 years, a lot of work has been put into reestablishing the UK's woodlands. So, let's enjoy them.
We've included both forests and woodlands in our list of the best forests to see this autumn.
We've also named a nearby campsite below each of our forestry picks, all of which have motorhome pitches ready for you to park up in.
So get that motorhome insurance in place and get ready to explore what the UK has to offer!
King Alfred's Tower walk: Stourhead, Wiltshire
If you're one of those people who needs something in their sights as they set about a walk, then King Alfred's Tower walk could be the perfect stop-off.
The five-mile route leads you up through majestic mixed woodlands to the 160ft tall tower, built for Stourhead's owner Henry Hoare II in 1772.
Also known as The Folly of King Alfred the Great or Stourton Tower, the folly tower is now belongs to the National Trust and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The tower stands near the location of 'Egbert's stone', where it is suggested that Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, assembled the Saxons in May 878 before the important Battle of Edington.
The tower walk isn't suitable for wheelchair users due to the uneven terrain and steep hills but visitors are welcome to bring their dogs if they're kept on the lead.
Nearby campsite: Stourhead Estate Caravan Club
If you're a Caravan Club member, you'll be able to park up on site at the Stourhead Estate.
However, there's only room for five motorhomes and facilities are limited, so bear that in mind before you make any bookings.
There are toilet facilities, a restaurant and electric hook up available, but little else.
Cardinham Woods, Cornwall
Motorhomers can't get enough of Cornwall – if you're one of them and want to try somewhere new this autumn, away from the blustery Cornish coast, then Cardinham's beautiful mixed woodland is a hidden gem that you need to see.
Cardinham offers a range of waymarked walking and mountain biking trails, and family-friendly play and picnic areas.
Revel in stunning viewpoints and drink in the area's fascinating history with remnants of the old mine and traditional clapper bridge.
There is something for everyone at Cardinham Woods.
If you're bringing the kids, you'll be able to keep them entertained with the play area and the Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon Glow Trail.
Those seeking a more active visit can set off on the 12km Bodmin Beast cycling trail.
Nearby campsite: Gwel-an-Nans Farm
Just three miles from Cardinham Woods lies Gwel-an-Nans, a site in a secluded spot south west of Bodmin Moor and less than a 15-minute drive from the town of the same name.
Pull up and you'll get a sunny welcome from the site's friendly owners – the couple who run this two and a half-acre park in the middle of a bigger animal-filled farm.
These friendly folk can organise a ride on a donkey trap around the local area for small explorers, too!
Credenhill, Herefordshire
The 13-hectares Credenhill Park Wood near Hereford has recently undergone restoration work.
The Woodland Trust is attempting to revive this ancient, semi-natural woodland to some of its former glory by thinning conifers planted in the 1960s – they now deny some important woodland plants of some much-needed sun.
Credenhill's Iron Age hill fort is notable for being one of the largest hill forts in England, and it is thought to have been an Iron Age tribal capital.
The walk to the top is well worth it, providing you with incredible views across to Wales.
Soak up the autumnal landscape and imagine what the scene looked like 400 years ago.
Nearby campsite: Moorhampton Club Site
If you travel west on the A480 away from Credenhill Park Wood you'll come across Moorhampton Club Site, a charming, popular getaway, which makes motorhomers feel at home the moment they drive into the campsite.
The park, nestled in the dreamy North Herefordshire countryside, used to be a railway station but now has a much more idyllic feel with daffodils on the bank at the entrance and apple blossom in the orchard nearby.
Rydal and Grasmere, Cumbria
On 23rd October 1802, English author, poet and diarist Dorothy Wordsworth – sister of the romantic poet William Wordworth – wrote the following of Grasmere and Rydal: "A breathless, grey day that leaves the golden woods of autumn quiet in their tranquillity, stately and beautiful in their decaying. The lake is a perfect mirror."
This six-mile circular tour around Grasmere and Rydal Water illuminates her words into a beautiful reality.
The route starts and finishes at Rydal, home to the Badge Bar – make sure you reward yourself with a nice drink at the end of the trail.
Nearby campsite: The Quiet Site
One of the most forward-thinking and eco-friendly campsites in the country, The Quiet Site is home to the UK's first zero-waste campsite shop and generates almost all of its energy (including the hot water) from solar and renewable sources.
An on-site bar, simply known as 'The Pub' – housed inside a 17th-Century barn – makes a great place to toast your trip.
If you're feeling playful, it has a side room with games like table tennis and air hockey.
Kielder Forest, Northumberland
Kielder Water & Forest Park is home to northern Europe's largest man-made lake and England's largest forest, making it a perfect spot for motorhomers who love nature, water sports, exploring, walking, cycling and much more.
The park boasts miles of purpose-built trails including forest walks for all the family and dedicated mountain bike tracks for adrenaline junkies.
On the 26-mile Lakeside Way trail – which encircles the shoreline of Kielder Water – you can even ride your horse! Can you squeeze him into your motorhome?
To put into perspective how big the forest is, around 50% of England's native red squirrel population are believed to live here.
Nearby campsite: Herding Hill Farm
After a tiring day on the trails, you want to kick back in a bit of luxury, are we right?
If you're prepared to travel a bit – an hour's drive from Kielder Forest – you could treat yourself to some accommodation at an AA award-winning, five-star touring, camping and glamping site with hot tubs. Why not?
Open all year round and boasting a state-of-the-art amenities building with underfloor heating, a unisex sauna, drying room, laundry room, covered washing up area, and family/accessible bathroom (with bath tub and baby change), you'll want for nothing here.
You will feel fully refreshed ahead of another day on the trails.
Thetford Forest, Norfolk/Suffolk
We move from England's largest forest to the UK's largest man-made lowland forest.
Thetford Forest is arguable the best-known woodland in the UK.
If you're travelling with kids, you can explore the outdoor play facilities at High Lodge; if not, explore the history and heritage of Mildenhall Warren and Lynford Arboretum and the peace and tranquillity of St Helen's.
Nearby campsite: Dower House Touring Park
Sat on the doorstep of Thetford Forest is Dower House Touring Park.
An impressive selection of amenities include a well-stocked shop for provisions, toys and gifts.
An information centre, holding information on local attractions and on-site activities, will help you make the most of your stay in Norfolk.
It goes without saying that the majority of pitches are provided with electrical hook-ups and are set in picturesque grounds surrounded by mature trees such as oak, beech, pine and chestnut.
The on-site pub, The Travellers Rest, has an adjoining TV/Pool room, and for those wishing to cool off after their adventures, they have a swimming pool, too.

Boris Johnson is not hiring Tony Abbott for his trade expertise | Larry Elliott | Politics
It is often said, in a phrase once attributed to Benjamin Disraeli, that there are three categories of mistruths: lies, damned lies and statistics. By the same token there are three types of geeks: geeks, super-geeks and trade negotiators.
Trade negotiators know the difference between the bound and applied tariff on imports of cars into Brazil. They know the quota for frozen lamb that can imported into the EU from New Zealand. They know their way around all 22,500 pages of commitments made by different countries at the end of the Uruguay round of trade talks in 1993. These people are experts and, despite what the health secretary, Matt Hancock, has said, Tony Abbott is not one of them.
Expertise, though, is not why the UK government is thinking about hiring the former Australian prime minister as a trade envoy. He is not being lined up as a details man, but because he is an evangelist for free trade and his government signed deals with three of Asia's biggest economies: China, Japan and South Korea. All these agreements had been worked on for years but Abbott got them over the line.
There are two phases to any trade deal: the technical phase where officials haggle over what should and shouldn't be protected, and a delivery phase where the politicians are called in to settle the outstanding issues.
The government has already hired a vastly experienced trade technician in Crawford Falconer, the former New Zealand ambassador to the World Trade Organization in Geneva. Falconer is a tough and wily negotiator, although by all accounts an under-used resource.
Sign up to the daily Business Today email or follow Guardian Business on Twitter at @BusinessDesk
Abbott doesn't claim to have Falconer's grasp of the nitty-gritty, but that wouldn't be his role. His job would be give log-jammed negotiations a political push and so get free trade deals over the line. Or as he put it to the Policy Exchange thinktank this week: "Look, obviously as prime minister you are not dealing with the minutiae of trade deals. You are dealing with things at the very highest of levels.
"You are reassuring heads of other governments that you would like to bring about a deal that is a win-win situation as soon as as possible, and you are encouraging senior officials not to be held up by things that are not all that important and not to be distracted by things that are not really issues of trade but might, forargument's sake, be issues of the environment."
Whether the former Liberal party prime minister will have the chance to prove his worth remains to be seen. Despite plenty of speculation, the government has yet to confirm his appointment and might decide that Abbott's reputation for misogyny and homophobia means he will be more trouble than he is worth.

Build Tiny recently completed a tiny house named the Piwakawaka that has no stairs as it's arranged on one level. However, this model, named the Nugget, goes to the other extreme and squeezes in two staircases. The home's space-saving layout packs in a bedroom and a home office, and also has a lot of storage space for its size.
The Nugget has a total length of 8 m (26 ft) and is based on a double-axle trailer. Its exterior styling is similar to a lot of previous models by the firm and is finished in vinyl, though there is the addition of a small storage space accessible from the outside, which looks big enough to stow some outdoor gear.
One of the major issues with downsizing to a tiny house is the lack of storage space. The Nugget addresses this with lots of little nooks, drawers, and cupboards. Visitors enter the home through double glass doors, which really helps open it up to the outside. This brings them into a living room that contains a large L-shaped sofa with built-in storage.
Nearby is the kitchen, which has a lot of cabinetry, including a pull-out pantry and a relatively large cupboard. It also has a sink, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, propane-powered four-burner stove, and oven, plus a small breakfast bar for two and large operable windows. A sliding door separates the kitchen and adjacent bathroom, which contains a shower, sink, and composting toilet.
The main bedroom is accessed by a storage-integrated staircase. It's a typical loft-style sleeping area up there with a low ceiling, though does feature a lowered standing platform to make getting dressed easier. There's also a double bed and yet more storage space.
The second loft is accessed by the other storage-integrated staircase (to be clear, two staircases on a tiny house is rare but not unheard of) and again has the lowered platform for getting dressed. The space is set up as a home office but can also double as a bedroom and has a space in the floor for dangling legs down when sitting, to at least make it slightly more comfortable for someone sitting at a computer.
The Nugget gets power from a standard RV-style hookup and is wired ready for solar. It was delivered turnkey as a fully-furnished build, though we've no word on the price of this one.

Just think - a two axle trailer that you can move anywhere - as long as there is no side winds! The floor plans are probably as unique as boat plans. Everything shoe-horned into a place and comfort for the nomadic lifestyle assured. But not comfort for a complete homebody. Even two staircases do not yield enough storage for that!

Make your year-end predictions
Every year, we ask several experts to predict what the next 12 months will bring us in terms of products and innovations across the Mac landscape. But we also want to hear what you think is on the horizon.
What do you predict will be the most significant Mac hardware and software products of 2007? Keep in mind, these products don't necessarily have to come from Apple. Also, what do you think will be the biggest Mac news of year?
We asked these same questions a year ago, and Macworld.com posters offered a number of intriguing suggestions—some daring, some a little bit safer.
Here's a sampling of what you said, and how you did.
Larger, wall-mountable iMac: Right on both counts—Apple came out with a huge 24-inch iMac, and also sells a $29 VESA Mount Adapter Kit that lets you connect that iMac to wall mounts and articulating arms.
PCI Express graphics, SATA II hard drives, and DDR2 memory on all Macs: All Macs currently use DDR2 RAM, but only the Mac Pro has 3Gbps SATA II hard drives. And although Apple has switched from PCI to PCI Express graphics, several Mac models instead use Intel's GMA 950 integrated graphics chip.
AirPort Express with video capabilities: The iTV is close, but it looks to be a more intelligent piece of hardware—and it's not coming out until next year.
Leopard: Although Apple previewed Leopard at this year's Worldwide Developers' Conference, the next version of OS X won't ship until 2007.
Front Row on all Macs: Technically, the answer is yes. (And it will be even more correct next year, when Front Row is included with Leopard.) But even though the Mac Pro has the Front Row software installed, you can't activate it without a little hacking. Check out this tip from our Mac OS X Hints Web site to see how it's done.
iLife '06: Yep, with iLife '06, Apple updated the existing apps in the suite and added a new one—iWeb—for building pretty Web sites without knowledge of HTML or CSS. And it's a pretty safe bet that iLife '07 is just around the corner as well.
True video iPod with a bigger screen: Despite many rumors, Apple has yet to release an iPod with a larger or wide screen, and it doesn't look like the company will do so before the year is out.
Blu-ray and/or HD DVD optical drives: Nope, not yet. But the fact that the Mac Pro has two optical drive bays does mean that once such computer drives become widespread and affordable, there's a space just waiting for an Apple option (or an after-market installation).
iSight built into more Macs and displays: iSights haven't made it to displays yet, but MacBooks and MacBook Pros—the Macs most in need of built-in video cameras—do have them now.
New version of iWork: Yep. iWork '06 came out with the second version of the Pages layout app and the third incarnation of the Keynote presentation software.
iTunes Music Store becomes iTunes Media Store: Well, the idea was spot on, the name was just a little off. In September 2006, Apple renamed its online store the iTunes Store, which added full-length feature films to its video repertoire.
Bluetooth Mighty Mouse: It seemed like only a matter of time, and Apple finally did release the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse in July.

Carleen Anderson - ConnectsMusic
Carleen Anderson
Script Writer/Music Composer, Lyricist, Arranger & Producer/Lead Performer
Hailed by Gilles Peterson as one of the most influential singer/songwriters of her generation, Carleen Anderson is highly respected within the music industry. She's globally known for her collaboration with the 1991 Mercury Music Award Shortlisted Young Disciples for their album, Road to Freedom and her 1994 Brit Award nominated solo album TRUE SPIRIT. Throughout her independent solo career, she's been featured alongside a multitude of established artists from a wide array of musical genres – Nigel Kennedy, Dr. John, OMAR, Chrissie Hynde, Jocelyn Brown, Meshell Ndgeocello, Paul McCartney, Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Paul Weller, Ramsay Lewis, and a further long list of luminous ones. She won Jazz FM's 2013 Best UK Vocalist Award. In 2014, Arts Council England awarded her a Research and Development grant for her Cage Street Memorial Theatre Production which was followed by a PRS Women Make Music grant in 2015 to record an accompanying soundtrack album for it. She won the Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. Her CAGE STREET MEMORIAL Tribal Opera concert at the Barbican in January 2018 received high praise in the press reviews. The London Evening Standard called it 'a deftly crafted masterwork'.
"SHE'S NOT JUST GOOD, SHE'S PHENOMENAL. CARLEEN ANDERSON IS ONE OF A KIND". – JAMES BROWN
Carleen Anderson was born in Houston, Texas, 10th of May 1957, and reared up on the sounds rooted in Gospel music inherited from the Pentecostal church where the pastor, David Anderson, Sr. her paternal Grandfather, and her Grandmother Alberta, raised her from an infant.
Since 1973, her birth Father, Dr. Reuben P. Anderson, Sr., continues as the pastor of his own church in Compton, California, further extending the connection Carleen still retains in gospel music.
Her association with Soul music was inherited from her birth mother, Vicki Anderson, (aka Myra Barnes), who James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, often claimed as his
favourite vocalist. Carleen toured with her stepfather, Bobby Byrd, the founder of James Brown and the Famous Flames, who also had a celebrated solo career in his own right.
In 1976, Carleen was recorded in her first music studio session with rock and roll blues man, Johnny Winter, (Edgar Winter's brother), in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 1978, she joined a band called, 'Funktions', also in Nashville, and married the drummer, Bobbye Sherrell, (the younger brother of James Brown's musician, 'Sweet' Charles Sherrell). From that union, her son, Bobby LeColye was born in 1979.
As a divorced single mother, Carleen was awarded scholarships and received high academic and performance honours from 1981 to 1985. She studied music performance and music education at the Los Angeles Community College, (LACC), University of Southern California, (USC), and classical literature at the University of California at Los Angeles, (UCLA).Sporadically, from 1974 to 1992, during the Bobby Byrd and the JB All Stars tour of the US southern states as well as across Europe and the UK, Carleen was the opening act and understudy for former featured vocalists for the James Brown Show & Revue – Vicki Anderson, Marva Whitney and Lynn Collins.
Carleen and her Son, Bobby, relocated to the UK in June 1990, where she was recruited as the vocalist and songwriter for the band, The Young Disciples, who were signed to Phonogram Records' Circa label, on which they released a critically acclaimed album entitled, 'Road to Freedom', that included a popular hit song called, 'Apparently Nothing'. The band was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize in 1992.
Also in 1992, Carleen signed a solo deal with Virgin Records, the new owner of the Circa Records label, who released two albums for her, True Spirit, which was nominated for a Brit Award for Best International Newcomer in 1995 and charted several hit singles, 'Mama Said', Let it Last and Nervous Breakdown. The second solo album, Blessed Burden, was co-produced in 1998 with Paul Weller, which included her celebrated cover single of Paul McCartney's 'Maybe I'm Amazed' and her own composition, 'Woman in Me'.
From early 1999 to late 2000, Carleen toured with the Brand New Heavies as their lead singer to promote their 'Best of' album, entitled, "Trunk Funk".
Her first independent album, 'Alberta's GrandDaughter', released in 2002, was produced by Ben Castle, (son of UK's much loved trumpeter, Roy Castle), Mark Edwards and Colin Walker. Her cover of Noel Gallagher's 'Don't Look Back in Anger', from this album, continues to be the most requested song of her repertoire.
The year 2003 saw the release of a live performance DVD/CD, 'Grace & Favours', which includes an impromptu performance with her Godfather, James Brown, the only footage of them together. EMI released a Best of Carleen Anderson CD in 2004, called 'Up to Now. Dome Records signed Carleen for the release of her Soul Providence album in 2005, which was again produced by Mark Edwards, Ben Castle and Colin Walker. This album also has duet performances with Paul Weller and Jocelyn Brown.
In 2006, a guest appearance with Sir John Dankworth and his band at his English countryside venue, The Stables, had Carleen receiving high praise from Dame Cleo Laine, resulting in Carleen securing several residencies a year for a decade since then, at the world-famous jazz club, Ronnie Scott's, to packed houses of enthralled audiences.
Carleen was the Head of the Vocal Department at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music where she taught vocal performance from 2002 to 2007. This association led to her performing for and meeting HRH, the Queen of England, in 2007. In 2013 Anderson sang the lead role of Isolde in Julian Joseph's music compositional reimagining of the legendary Arthurian story of Tristan, performed at the Royal Opera House.
Alongside promoting her soundtrack album CAGE STREET MEMORIAL ~ The Pilgrimage, Anderson is being internationally commissioned to compose and arrange music for several Human Rights projects.

Buy an Apartment in NYC?
Certain sectors of the New York City market are offering buying opportunities at up to a 40% discount on prices realized at the peak of the market, only a few years ago. A recent upsurge in short sale activity in Manhattan has created unique buying opportunities not seen in years. Our team of Buyer Brokers are adept at scouting out the best deals available for our investor clients and will help you to buy an apartment in NYC.
If you've been waiting to buy an apartment in NYC, now is the perfect time. Look at the facts.
Metropolis Real Estate of Manhattan has been a leader in apartment rentals in Manhattan for over 18 years and can offer full service to investors for managing and leasing their properties. Our investment specialists are waiting to assist you to buy an apartment in NYC as well as in property management of your new acquisition.
When you buy an apartment in NYC it can be one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make. The process of buying a cooperative apartment ("co-op") or condominium ("condo") in New York City can be confusing and nerve-wracking. This guide is designed to help you to better understand the process when you buy an apartment in NYC. While reading, keep in mind that this guide is designed to give the buyer an overview of the steps involved in purchasing a new home. It is not intended to take the place of professional advice by an attorney, real estate broker or financial consultant. When you are ready to buy an apartment in NYC you will want to seek professional advice.
Ch. 2 – They have accepted my offer. Now what?
Ch. 4. Do I have to fill out a lot of paperwork to buy an apartment in NYC?
Short answer: Yes. Co-ops require a pretty extensive application package and first time buyers are often surprised at how much personal information is requested. You also have to sit down and calculate your net worth and submit tax returns and bank statements as well as personal references. Each co-op has their own specific application, which, like a college application, covers similar general areas from co-op to co-op but in slightly different formats. Your broker will help you pull it all together and will submit the completed package (and all the copies) to the board. Your application package when you buy an apartment in NYC will be reviewed and then an interview will be scheduled with members of the board. You will learn shortly after the interview whether or not the co-op board has approved your application to purchase the apartment.
A condo application package is, when you buy an apartment in NYC, in general, shorter and easier to complete. There is no interview or board approval involved in the purchase however you do need to receive something called "The Waiver of Right Refusal" which means that the condominium has agreed to allow the sale to go through. It should take no longer than thirty days to receive this once you've applied and often the waiver is issued much sooner.
Why use a mortgage broker when you buy an apartment in NYC as opposed to a banker or your personal banker or Credit Union? Our experience shows that an experienced and honorable mortgage broker typically has access to the best rates and products as well as the most lending flexibility. In certain cases, to assure a competitive interest rate and a smooth closing, the broker will have you apply to several lenders at once, all with only one mortgage application and one application fee. When factoring in interest rate and transaction costs in your decision, using a mortgage broker should either be more cost effective or fee neutral.
Your broker will help you complete the mortgage application. You should gather together: tax returns, W2s, paystubs, bank, brokerage and retirement account statements in order to complete a through application. Today's lending decisions are initially evaluated by an automated computer model. Based upon that feedback, the lender may require more or sometimes less documentation. You should anticipate a 3 to 4 week turnaround period.
After you've identified a home and usually after you're in contract the broker or lender has an appraisal report done in order to determine the established market value of the property when you buy an apartment in NYC. This is a sober evaluation predominantly based upon the sale prices of very similar homes in the same or competing neighborhoods. If your contract of sale has a generously written mortgage contingency clause the appraisal can help protect you, not to mention the bank, from over paying when you buy an apartment in NYC .
Title insurance is a contract to protect a homeowner and a lender against losses arising through defects in the title to real estate when you buy an apartment in NYC. Some examples of the defects covered are fraud, deeds by minors or incompetents, liens for unpaid real estate taxes, judgments, or mechanic's liens. By law, all title companies must charge the same premiums for property located in New York State. Banks will not close on any mortgage unless their attorneys have received and reviewed a copy of the title report and the borrower has agreed to purchase title insurance.
Usually the purchaser of a condominium from a sponsor is entitled to a 30% discount known as the bulk rate when they buy an apartment in NYC. To qualify there must be at least ten units in the condominium. Any title company insuring a unit in such a building can, and must give this discounted rate. It is a myth that it is only available from the title company used by the sponsor.
To buy an apartment in NYC, a co-op, condo or private home can be a confusing, time consuming process. Using local professionals who can guide and help you through the various steps will go a long way toward reducing stress and disappointment.

Maria Tuulia Lohela (, born 11 June 1978) is a Finnish politician. She has served as a Member of the Parliament of Finland from 2011 to 2019. After having maintained her seat in the 2015 election, Lohela was Speaker of the Parliament of Finland from 2015 to 2018. 36 years old when elected Speaker, she was one of the youngest MPs to hold that office in the parliament's history. Before her parliamentary career, she took her bachelor's degree at the University of Turku, majoring in English language. She has also served as a member of the Turku City Council from 2009 to 2012 and again from 2017 to 2019.

Lohela has been a proponent of a tighter immigration policy for Finland. Along with a few other Finns Party politicians, she was one of the authors of the Nuiva Manifesti (Finnish for The Sour Manifesto), an election campaign programme critical of Finnish immigration policy.

On 13 June 2017, Lohela and 19 others left the Finns Party Parliamentary Group to found the New Alternative (later Blue Reform) parliamentary group, which subsequently took the place of the Finns Party in the Sipilä cabinet. The split sparked debate on the seat of the Speaker, which was traditionally reserved for the second biggest parliamentary party. After negotiations, the parties came into the conclusion that Lohela would vacate her seat for the National Coalition Party in February 2018. On 5 February 2018, Paula Risikko was elected as the next speaker, while Lohela returned to her role as an MP.

On 21 January 2019, Lohela announced that she would leave the Blue Reform in order to join Liike Nyt movement.

Rapper T.I. believes he was arrested for being African-American in a "very white area" of Georgia after he was involved in an altercation with the security guard at his gated community.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., was charged with public drunkenness, simple assault and disorderly conduct in Henry County, Ga., around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, according to the booking record obtained by the Daily News. The rapper spoke to The Blast Wednesday afternoon and claimed his arrest could be chalked up to law enforcement nearby being "white cops in a very white area."
The 37-year-old rapper was returning to his residence at the Eagles' Landing Country Club when he got into an argument with the guard on duty because he was sleeping on the job. It took T.I. some time to wake up the sleeping guard, according to his attorney, Steve Sadow.
T.I. told The Blast he gave the guard, who is black, every opportunity to apologize, but he "antagonized" him and escalated the situation.
He was refused entry by the guard as he didn't have his key and T.I. called a friend, who had a warrant out for his arrest, according to the police report.
The "Live Your Life" singer reportedly asked the guard, "Don't you know who I am?" the local news station reported.
T.I.'s attorney issued a statement to the Daily News on Wednesday stating that the star was "wrongfully arrested."
"The guard continued to refuse entry without justification. Words were exchanged and apparently the guard and/or a supervisor called the police," the statement read. "When the police arrived, they were not interested in hearing Tip's side of the story and wrongfully chose to end the situation by arresting Tip."
According to the police report, T.I. threatened the guard, telling him to "come outside so we can deal with this man to man."
Simple assault under Georgia law does not require physical contact, just the threat or feeling of being in danger. The rapper admitted to The Blast that he "may have" hurt the guard with his words, but never laid a hand on him.
The rapper admitted to the officer that he had a drink that night, but said he had not beend riving, according to the police.
Both T.I. and the unidentified friend were arrested after a call was made to police during the second interaction.
T.I. was released on his recognizance after paying $2,250 bail, according to the arrest record.
He is set to appear in court on May 17. T.I. also told The Blast he plans to pursue legal action against the homeowners' association over the incident.
Hours after he was released, T.I. happily celebrated his son Major's 10th birthday.

Home Projects 40 Key Research Questions on Science and Policy
The relationship between science and policy is critically important both for the sciences broadly conceived and for policy formulation and good governance, but there are major unresolved issues about how the relationship actually functions. The CSaP Science and Policy Studies Group aimed to help set a new research agenda by running a programme to identify key research questions, for example about precisely how science influences policy (and vice versa), and how expertise is best engaged.
We sought to include questions about the science-policy relationship as observed and conceptualised, as well as more normative questions about 'how it ought to be'. The only condition was that questions should be capable, at least in principle, of being addressed through research. The final list of questions helped establish a major research agenda in this increasingly important field.
The CSaP Science and Policy Studies group's programme to identify key questions concerning the critical relationship between science and policy took a major step forward on 7 April 2011.
After issuing a call for questions, receiving 250 interesting and insightful responses, and collating them, 7 April was the day of the workshop during which the list would be refined and the most important selected.
45 prominent researchers and policy professionals, from a cross-section of science and policy research and practice fields, convened at the Møller Centre in Cambridge. Using a method devised by the workshop's chair, William Sutherland, the delegates worked together to refine and whittle 250 questions down to just 40.
Sponsored by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Society of Biology, the workshop was tremendously stimulating and the feedback extremely positive. Professor Peter Littlejohns, Clinical and Public Health Director at NICE, said of the workshop: "It was very impressive to witness how complex issues were dealt with in such an efficient, but informal and relaxed, way".
Much of the day was spent in breakout groups, each working through a subset of questions. Selecting which of the groups to join was challenging because each was so interesting in its own right. They were:
Conceptualising Relations between Science and Policy (chaired by Andy Clements)
Structures and Institutions of Scientific Advice (Andrew Pullin)
Communication and Knowledge Transfer (Sue Hartley)
Understanding Policy Processes, Politics and Values (John Robinson)
Public Accountability and Citizen Participation (Keith Richards)
How are Issues Identified and Questions Framed? (Robert Doubleday)
Experts and Expertise (Charles Godfray)
Evidence – selection and evaluation (Susan Owens)
Uncertain, Provisional and Plural Knowledge (Miles Parker)
Methods of Assessment and Analysis (Chris Tyler)
Understanding Policies for Science, Research & Education (Andy Stirling)
Comparative Questions (Judith Petts)
Once these breakout groups had selected their top questions, everyone reconvened to narrow down and refine the selection further. This process sparked lively and useful debate and has set the scene for a period of further communications before the list of top 40 questions is finalised. Some of the questions are about the science-policy relationship as observed and conceptualised, and others are more normative questions about 'how it ought to be'. This workshop then led to the publication of a paper published in PLoS One.

One of the most important action we perform as soon as we login to an Operating System till the time we logout, is interacting with File Manager even without noticing it.
File Manager aka "File Browser" is an application program which perform the function of Creating, Opening, Renaming, Copying, Moving, Viewing, Printing, Editing, changing attributes, file permission, properties for files and folders. Many of the File Managers of today is enriched with a Forward and Backward Navigation options. The idea seems to be inherited from web browsers.
A File Manager if lags or don't function properly, System tends to freeze. There are several flavours of File Manager and each of them have certain features which puts them different than others. One such File Manager is 'The Gnome Commander'.
Here in this article we will be throwing light on its features, how it is different, Installation, its' usability, Area of Application, Future of the Project as well as testing it on native machine before reaching a conclusion.
Gnome commander is a 'two panel' graphical file manager designed originally for GNOME Desktop Environment released under GNU General Public License. The Gnome commander's GUI seems similar to Norton, Total Commander and Midnight Commander. The above application is developed in GTK-toolkit and GnomeVFS (Gnome Virtual File System).
Simple GTK+ and User Friendly End-User Interface with Mouse Integration.
Select/De-Select files/folders and Drag & Drop Supported.
Verify MD5 and SHA-1 hashes.
Send Files via email, Integrated.
User Defined LS_COLORS to get customized colors in output.
Gnome Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) type.
Customizable User Defined context Menu for calling external application viz., viewer, scripts or editors for certain files/folders.
Menu on Mouse Right Click to normal file operations which includes open, run, open with, rename, delete, setting properties, ownership, permissions to files and folders.
Support for Mount/Un-Mount of external devices/HDD.
Support for Tabs, folder bookmarks and various types of meta-data.
Support for Plug-ins, to customize it as per users need.
Immediate file viewing for text and images.
Advance tool for file renaming, searching, symlinking and comparing folders.
Highly custom, user defined keyboard hotkeys.
Support for FTP using GnomeVFS ftp module and access to SAMBA.
Gnome commander can be downloaded from the link below in the form of TAR Ball (i.e. Gnome Commander 1.4.1) and then it needs to be build from there.
However, most of the standard Linux distributions of today contains Gnome Commander in repository. We just need to apt or yum the required packages.
1. Launching Gnome Commander from Terminal (Command Line).
2. Instant Viewing an image file, from the file browser.
3. Opening a TAR Ball package, very smooth in operation.
4. Opening a Configuration file.
5. Instant launch of Terminal, that is already embedded.
7. Plug-ins Windows. Enable/Disable it from here.
8. Connect remotely. Option available on the User Interface.
9. Send a file via email, Feature included and available on user Interface.
10. Keyboards shortcuts, to work smoothly and fast when file management is the sole concern.
11. Advanced Rename Tool – An important Feature.
12. Change the file Access permission in GUI window, even a newbie can understand.
13. Change ownership (chown) from GUI.
14. File Properties windows. Provides relevant properties Information.
15. Open as root, from the file Menu. Easy Implementation.
Gnome Commander is for advanced users whose work involves smart file management. This application is not for those users who want some kind of lucid eye candy in their left/top pane. The integration of this project with inbuilt Linux command Line, Makes it very powerful.
The project is more than a decade old and is still in development stage suggests its maturity. There are a very few bugs and non of them are serious till the point of time, this article is being written.
Some of the area this project needs to see into is – support for encryption, support for other network protocols and a good support. Moreover adding some kind of eye candy in the browser window will definitely attracts new users.
The project seems very promising at this stage and gives a Geeky experience to End User be it advanced user or Normal User. This is a wonderful project and you must give it a try yourself. This application seems perfect (although Nothing can be perfect) in its working. The 'files' operation during testing went smooth and nothing seems to lag/freeze.
That's all for now. I'll be here again with another interesting article very soon. Please provide us with your valuable feedback in the comment section. So, that we can improve to serve our readers better. If you like our contents and our works, please share it through all your FOSS enthusiastic Friends/Group and support us Morally.

This one hits you square in the gut with a fairly simple but extremely well told story set in a small fundamentalist Islamic village in Iran in the 1980's. Soraya's husband has tired of her after many years of marriage and wants to be free of her. He doesn't want the expense of a divorce so he falsely accuses her of infidelity. In that society, controlled and ruled by men who treat women like dirt, Soraya has nowhere to go and no one to help her. She is at the mercy of her accuser and the penalty for her so-called crime is stoning. Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog 2003) delivers a riveting performance as the voice of outrage desperate to tell the world about the injustice done to Soraya.
If you are not enraged and disgusted by the actions of the men in this particular village by the end of this movie, then you have no heart and you must be less than human! I can't use the word "enjoyed" to describe how I feel about it, but I'm glad I watched it. It delivers a very powerful message in a beautifully filmed package.

Kim Davis From 'The Biggest Loser' Tackles Weight Loss After Beating HR-Positive Breast Cancer: 'It's The Monster in the Closet — I'm Fighting For My Life.'
Constance Costas
Kim Davis, 57, has emerged as a favorite on "The Biggest Loser". A firecracker from Mulberry, Tennessee, Davis is a breast cancer survivor and, for her, the weight-loss reality show isn't about looking better in a bikini: "This is about saving my life," she told SurvivorNet in an exclusive interview. Heading into Tuesday's show this week, she's down 28 pounds from a

starting weight of 242. Davis has set a goal oflosing 40 more pounds in order to protect her health. "Cancer is the monster in the closet," she says. "You never know when it's going to come back."
Dr. Elizabeth Comen, an oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: "There will never be a study that says, 'Hey, you know what? If you eat fast food every day you're going to reduce your risk of cancer.'"
Kim Davis' Cancer Journey
She was 38 and pregnant with her son, now a college sophomore, when she felt a lump in her breast. "That's a risk factor — having a first pregnancy at a later age," she explains. "But I was told I just had lumpy breasts — and you hear what you want to hear." After the baby was born, when the lump didn't go away, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 HR-positive breast cancer. "The HR means hormone-receptive — the cancer fed on the estrogen in my body," she notes. At the time, Davis was "in pretty good shape" and weighed about 150 pounds.

"When you're diagnosed with cancer with a brand new baby," she said, "all you want to do is live long enough for that child to remember your name."
Dr. Elizabeth Comen on the role of Tamoxifen in treating HR-positive breast cancer.
Her oncologist at the Walt Disney Cancer Institute in Orlando told Davis she had an 80% survival rate. She underwent a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of chemo, and 31 radiation treatments. "I had a positive attitude," she recalls. "I never thought it was gonna get me; I just thought [cancer] was something I had to deal with. I wanted it to be over and done."
RELATED: The 'Biggest Loser' Is Back with a Breast Cancer Survivor Who 'Whooped Its Tail'
After treatment, she took Tamoxifen for 5 years. She later had a total hysterectomy to treat (benign) uterine fibroid tumors "I'd had fibroids for years," she said. "I thought the hysterectomy would fix the problem with the mid-section; belly fat is nothing but an estrogen factory."Although genetic testing revealed she was BRCA-negative, cancer runs in Davis' family: "My dad died of lung cancer. My brother had head and neck cancer and died four years ago. My maternal grandmother had breast cancer and colon cancer; she died 40 years ago. My brother has colon cancer and just got a clean bill of health."
Walking For Work: "I Was Not Inactive"
Davis works as a tour guide at the Jack Daniels bourbon distillery, where she clocks 12,000 to 16,000 steps per day on a pedometer. "I was not inactive," she says, "but I consider myself a food addict. And when you go into the break room at work, there's fried chicken, mashed potatoes, squash casserole."
RELATED: Double Whammy: Heart Attack Associated with Seven Times Higher Cancer Risk in New Study
By the time she answered the casting call for "The Biggest Loser" she had type-2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and was taking blood pressure medication. "I'd started to have cardiac events and I was scared to death."

Although she'd "whooped cancer's tail" Davis says she "could not get ahold of this food addiction — even though I know that food can kill me just as quickly as the cancer."
Taking Time From Work For Health
As she advanced in the casting process, she approached her company's human resources department to ask for time off to participate in the show. Their response: weight-loss didn't qualify for a leave of absence. "They give people time off for drug and alcohol rehab, but there's no cheeseburger rehab," Davis says. Still, she notes, "although obesity causes more deaths than drugs and alcohol combined, that's not what's listed on a death certificate: It's cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke."

"I went back to them and I said, 'this if for my health. It's not about being on a show'. And finally, I got unanimous approval from 7 old boys who said, 'Absolutely. We support this.'" The approval was Davis' first victory on the road to regaining her health. 'There needs to be a real shift in this county," Davis says. "They'll pay for your blood pressure meds but they won't pay to get the sugar out of your system. Being away, I realized, I'd put more thought into the gas I put in my car than I did about the fuel I was putting in my body."

In addition to losing 35 pounds, Davis says her type-2 diabetes and sleep apnea are gone and her energy is up. And she hopes to inspire others with the message: You're never too old to get in shape. "At this point in my life, I'm not willing to give [cancer] any ammunition. You've got to get healthy in your mind in order to get healthy in your body. I was the oldest one on the show. I lasted a lot longer than folks thought. I proved to myself that it's never too late to start another story — because this story will be better than your last."

The Belly Fat Connection
If you're a woman over 50 with a few extra pounds around your waist, you're at an increased risk for cancer, according to research. The problem comes from the fat around some of your vital organs, and alcohol and sugar may not be helping.
A recent study published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), finds that women over 50 years-old who were considered "normal weight" but had a waist that measures over 34.6 inches had an increased risk of developing cancer, along with other dangerous health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Specifically, women who were normal weight but carried this belly fat were about 20 percent more likely to die of cancer than women who were normal weight without the belly fat.
RELATED: 10 Things You Need To Know If You Are Young And Have A Few Extra Pounds
Years of compounded evidence have linked obesity to a number of cancers—including colorectal cancers, breast cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer, among others. For most of these past studies, though, researchers defined obesity based on body mass index ("BMI"). Technically, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is "normal weight," a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 is "overweight," and a BMI over 30 is "obese."
RELATED: The Role of Diet and Exercise in Cancer Risk
But as the new study shows, it's possible to have a "normal" overall BMI and still carry extra belly fat. The researchers called this condition "central obesity," and pointed out that it's especially common in the U.S. (In 2012, over a third of all people in the U.S. had "an unhealthy waist-to-height ratio.")
RELATED: The Link Between Obesity and Prostate Cancer
Why Does Belly Fat Increase Cancer Risk?
Although there is still a lot that researchers don't know about body fat and cancer risk, one thing they do know is that the fat that accumulates in the waist area is a type of fat called "visceral fat." Because visceral fat surrounds your vital organs, it is more dangerous than the fat that accumulates around, say, your limbs. This is because too much visceral fat can cause inflammation in these organs, which, in turn, can eventually lead to cancer.
RELATED: Cutting "Pro-Inflammatory" Foods From Your Diet Can Reduce Cancer Risk
Fat cells can affect your body's hormones, too, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, a breast cancer oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a medical advisor to SurvivorNet previously told us.
"We know that when women are overweight, they can have a state of inflammation in their bodies," Dr. Comen said. "Some of those fat cells can make estrogen, and we know that being exposed to too much estrogen over a woman's lifetime can significantly increase her risk of breast cancer."
Post-Menopausal Women And Belly Fat
The over 150,000 women who enrolled in this new study had all gone through menopause. "For post-menopausal women, lower estrogen levels can change the way your body stores fat," doctors at the MD Anderson Cancer Center wrote in a guidance article about belly fat and cancer risk. "Instead of storing fat in your hips and thighs, you may see more fat in your abdomen. This extra tummy fat can disrupt your hormones and increase your chances of breast and uterine cancers."

The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities
Lawrence C. Ross
Dafina Books, 2000 - Education - 465 pages
America's black fraternities and sororities are a unique and vital part of 20th century African-American history. Since the creation of the first fraternity in 1906 at Cornell University, they hove provided young black achievers with opportunities to supped each other, while serving their communities and the nation. But never before has information about African-American fraternities and sororities been published for the general public. Now, "The Divine Nine", a meticulously researched history, tells the story of how these organizations have played a major role in shaping generations of black leaders.
Today, America's nine block fraternities and sororities ore two and one-half million members strong and among the most powerful and influential groups in African-American society -- with chapters at major universities and colleges across the country. Many of America's most prominent business leaders, scientists, politicians, entertainers, and athletes took their first steps toward making a difference in the world in a fraternity or sorority. This extensive yet very accessible book celebrates the spirit of excellence shared by these and other renowned African Americans in brief, inspiring profiles.
"The Divine Nine" includes interviews with people like: ABC-TV's "The View" co-host Star Jones, Los Angeles Laker Shaquille O'Neal, Weather anchorman Spencer Christian, Historian John Hope Franklin, Poet Nikki Giovanni, and more, and features inspiring profiles of: Hank Aaron, Maya Angelou, Toni Braxton, Bill Cosby, W.E.B. DuBois, Duke Ellington, Martin Luther King, Jr., Toni Morrison, Coretta Scott King, Dionne Warwick, and many others.
Fully illustrated with photographs, "The DivineNine"chronicles an important yet previously neglected subject in African-American history, making it the first book of its kind, and one to he treasured for generations to come.
This man lies in the first six pages of this book. The first successful black fraternity was called sigma pi phi.

For use with Shimano Deore XT FC-M780 10spd Triple Chainsets.
What is the difference between type A (Y1MM98090) and Type B (Y1MM98120)?
Both descriptions say for use on a triple crankset but there must be a difference.
The B-Type chainring for this chainset doesn't have a recess around the bolt hole unlike the A-Type so the chainring bolt design in slightly different & given a different Shimano part code. I hope this helps.
I have an unused Shimano FC-M780 crankset. My intent is to set it up for 9 speed use, preferably with TA Chinook rings (SJS Cycles part nos. 3055T24, 16605S32, 16608S44). What is your general advice (esp. regarding the chainring width)? Are these the right bolts? Which bolts would be needed for the inner ring?
We have not tried or tested this set up, we could not advise to the correct bolts etc.
