Helping, protecting & serving the vulnerable
The recipients of our outreach programs and volunteer work are some of the poorest and least fortunate. The Sisters of Nazareth run two registered NPO outreaches; Morning Star Creche and Frances Shannon Outreach Centre in addition to numerous other outreach programmes across the country.
The Sisters commitment
The Sisters of Nazareth are unremittingly involved in outreach programmes and community work projects across the country, including Harare, Zimbabwe. Some of these outreaches and community work projects require the Sisters to visit remote locations and provide support, care, and basic necessities to those who need it most.
These initiatives include food and soup kitchens in Schauderville – Port Elizabeth, outreach to poor and needy in Alexandra, Yeoville and Soweto in – Johannesburg, support to night shelters, soup kitchens and the Masigcine Children's home in Khayelitsha – Cape Town, home-based care and women self-help centre at Frances Shannon Hospice in Warrenton – Kimberly, and the Morning Star creche with 60 under privileged children from the surrounding area at Nazareth House Fourteen Streams, and much more.
With your support, the Sisters of Nazareth can continue to expand their critical welfare work and provide much-needed relief in these poor and impoverished areas.
I want to Partner

What began as a humble dream for change has become a place where the most vulnerable in our society find sanctuary, love, and hope for a better tomorrow. Your donations can help the Sisters continue their Mission.
Volunteering is a great way of assisting non-profit organisations. "If you want to touch the past, touch a rock. If you want to touch the present, touch a flower. If you want to touch the future, touch a life." ~ Author Unknown
Our Ambition for Change defines what we want to achieve for deprived children, impoverished communities, and vulnerable elderly. The objective is simple: To close the gap between the funding we receive and the funding we need.
Our Outreaches
Nazareth House Johannesburg is situated in the community of Yeoville, often referred to as an "oasis" as it offers a safe haven within an impoverished area. Gangs dominate Yeoville, and many areas are sprawling slums with desperate people living there.
One of our Sisters continues to live her vocation in an unselfish existence despite the Corona saga, by continuing her Outreach programme, always being available for the sick, as well as working closely with the Hillbrow Clinic.
Her work assists the poor and indigent people living in shacks and derelict flats in Yeoville, Hillbrow, Jeppestown, Belgravia, and Berea, to name a few. When mentioning the above, Sister has a beautiful smile and a wink and quirks "My people" because she has been working with them for 20 years!
Sister also supplies blankets, vegetables, and food parcels to a soup kitchen three days per week and also assists with a soup kitchen in the Parish Church and the Refugee Centre which feeds about 200 adults and children who are mainly unemployed and multi-national. She has been very popular, especially during winter and the Coronavirus setting, where people are hungry and sleeping in open parks surrounding Yeoville. Another Sister works with the residents at the end of their days, comforting and praying with them.
Sr. Bridget has been committed to supporting this community regularly, despite the imminent danger.
The Sisters at Nazareth House Port Elizabeth have an outreach program in the Schauderville township in Port Elizabeth. It is run from the St. James Catholic Church.
Schauderville is one of the poorest suburbs in Port Elizabeth, a city with the highest unemployment rate in South Africa. Some of the people in this area live in abject poverty, many existing on not more than one meal a day. The crime rate is high, and gangs rule the area.
In this poverty-stricken area, the Sisters assist with soup kitchens and donations of items that the community desperately needs. The presence, love, and compassion they provide to this community fulfil a great need. The Sisters spend additional time offering moral support and guidance to the community members during each visit.
At Nazareth House Cape Town, the Sisters of Nazareth provide support to numerous outreach programmes. These include:
The Ark: The Ark City of Refuge opened its doors in 1992 in response to the extremely high rate of homelessness and unemployment in the Western Cape. It is unique among organisations and is probably the largest one of its kind in South Africa. Since their inception, some 65,000 people have walked through their gates in need of help. Currently, they average about 950 people—Women 205, children & youth 264 and men 475. Nazareth House Cape Town continuously supports The Ark with any excess of donations received or items that are not used at the House.
St Kizito: St Kizito's Children's Programme is a community-based, non-profit project responding to the church's call to offer a hand to those in need and is part of the Cape Town Archdiocese's outreach. It aims to meet the physical, emotional, intellectual, psychological, and spiritual needs of vulnerable children, especially those affected and infected by HIV / Aids. St Kizito is active in several disadvantaged communities in and around Cape Town. Trained members instruct others to establish parish groups
in target areas. Once trained, these groups provide children and families in their communities with a range of services and are themselves given ongoing mentorship and support from the St Kizito office. Nazareth House Cape Town supports them with surplus nappies, baby food, and clothing on an adhoc basis.
Masigcine: Masigcine (which means, "let us cherish") is a registered Children's Home in Mfuleni, where 28 orphaned, abandoned, and HIV infected children between the ages of 3 months and six years of age live. These children are referred to Masigcine by Social Workers via the Children's Court. This Children's Home was started in 1989 when a social worker from the community saw the need of the destitute children in the area. Nazareth House Cape Town regularly donates children's goods, food, and clothing to this project.
The Haven Moira Henderson House: Their method is to make temporary shelter, rehabilitation opportunities, social welfare services, family reunification services, physical care and support available to adult people living on the streets who are committed to reintegration. Nazareth House Cape Town shares Woolworth's donations with this organisation. Also, any excess vegetables and fruit collected from the market on Fridays get distributed to them.
Durban House has recently nominated The Dennis Hurley Centre as part of its outreach project.
The Denis Hurley Centre in Durban CBD is committed to helping the most marginalised individuals. Sister Cathy will be assisting Nazareth House Durban in caring for the poor, homeless, and refugees who visit the Centre, as she facilitates all of the projects at the Denis Hurley Centre.
Tichakunda is a community project that is run by the locals. It is an early childhood development full-day care centre in Hatcliffe-Extention, Harare, Zimbabwe. They aim to make the children see that the human system sometimes may fail them, but God's system will provide for them.
The Sisters of Nazareth at Nazareth House Harare regularly visit the project and support them with donations. The land is owned by the Sisters of Nazareth but is utilised by the people as their own.
Started by Sr. Irene Holland who is now Superior of our Johannesburg Home. Since Sister Lorraine's arrival to Harare in October 2019 she's only had the privilege of visiting the Mission once, due of the shortage of petrol at the time in the country and now that we are all in lockdown. Nazareth House supports the Mission regularly with clothing, mealie meal and furniture when possible. The land was bought by the Generalate (our Mother House in Hammersmith) and to this day much progress, has taken place. These include bedrooms with bunks for 34 children that are now cared for on the premises. There are over 500 children that come for schooling and are fed during the day. The community has a self-generated project of growing veggies, and the children receive daily nutritious meals .
The teachers give their services on a voluntary basis, and likewise the running of this project began by a devoted and dedicated Mother and her four grown up children, who are constantly on the go morning, noon, and night. Naturally everything is dependent on donations and the finance of this Mission is in the hands of well established Trustee. Any monies received abroad for this Mission comes through the Sisters of Nazareth Account, for transparency. We the Sisters of Nazareth, in Harare, will continue to support Tichakunda Mission and keep a close eye on all future developments and Finance.

Season two premiered on September 13, 2005 and ended on May 23, 2006. At the end of the third season, this team disbands. Cameron then departs the hospital, and Chase returns to the diagnostic team. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most watched television program in the world in 2008. If you are wondering if the videos have other logos like fox or other logos. You will only need to do so 1 time.
There is also something either unseemly or unsettling about calling and copying back so knowingly to Full House, '' while also sexualizing that the key female characters of Fuller House.

Worried about how to deal, she enlists the aid of prodigal sister Stephanie and finest bud Kimmy Gibbler, a recently divorced mom of a 13-year-old woman.
Just create a play-list and direct it to where you have the files downloaded. Consistently good quality and a bang for your buck as far as storage goes. House was among the top-ten rated shows in the United States from its second through its fourth season. It is such a clean reverse of the Entire House formula which it is amazing how many bending over backward it requires to justify the storyline, even if that's secondary to slavish party of the first. So you can get all in one with this one.
It therefore becomes possible to eventually look at Fuller House because its own thing, and also the purpose that is immediately noticeable is that there is an intellectual defect behind the storyline inversion that no one believed to take care about. An antisocial maverick doctor who specializes in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way using his crack team of doctors and his wits. If you own a wide-screen it is High Def and will look great. The quality is good, for 480p video. This has not suddenly turn into a grownup franchise, but it is seemingly impossible to not make repeated references to Sweetin's torso and it is going to certainly be around Full House fans to choose if understanding that Kimmy is a demon in the sack is something which they are ready for. I will continue to seed hoping that the download time can pick up. It was not radical, but it had been innovative and zeitgeist-y.

First off thanks for downloading the best quality house collection I have put together. If we can do that, others can too, protect your privacy with. If you downloaders know what you are doing out there this is the one to seed. If you are feeling kind a donation would be helpful. There are still references to Total House and in-jokes regarding the celebrities' outside jobs, including numerous reminders which Dancing With the Stars veteran Cameron Bure is still a great dancer, however the former castmembers are not contriving motives to fall in and also the lead mimeographing of all plotlines has either ceased or become tender enough this intermittent viewer of Total House was no more jarred by their own obviousness.

Wisconsin Supreme Court says don't kick voters out of roll
Madison, Wisconsin (AP) —The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the Democratic Party on Friday, and the State Election Commission ruled that voters flagged as potentially moving should not be removed from the roll. ..
The court's 5-2 ruling means that approximately 69,000 people on the list of movers will not invalidate their voter registration. When the proceedings were first filed in 2019, about 234,000 people were on the list. None of the remaining people voted for the 2020 presidential election, according to the Wisconsin Election Commission. No voter invalidated the registration while the court battle was pending.
A conservative advocacy group, the Wisconsin State Law and Freedom Institute, did not remove voters indicating that the State Election Commission identified voters who did not respond to the 2019 mail within 30 days. Claimed to have violated the law. Someone who may have moved.
However, the court said the task of removing voters from the roll was left to the local elections, not the state commissions. Ordered to dismiss the proceedings.
Two of the court's conservative judges, Supreme Judge Patience Roggensack and Judge Brian Hagedorn, have joined the majority of liberal judges Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallet and Jill Karofsky. Hagedorn, who supported the liberals in other high-profile cases, wrote a number of opinions.
Judges Rebecca Bradley and Annette Ziegler objected.
This issue received a lot of attention before the presidential election.
Liberals argued that the proceedings were intended to reduce turnout on their part, as the moved voters were concentrated in the more democratic areas of the state. Republicans argued that it was to reduce the chances of fraudulent voting and prevent moving people from voting from their previous addresses.
President Joe Biden supported Wisconsin with less than 21,000 votes. This is the result of enduring the recount of the two counties brought about by former President Donald Trump and numerous proceedings.
A judge in the Ozaukee County Circuit Court ruled in 2019 that voters identified as having a possible move must be immediately removed from the role. The state Court of Appeals overturned it in February 2020. The Supreme Court heard discussions about the case in September and ruled on Friday, just three days after the state's spring elections.
The court upheld the Court of Appeals' decision and ordered the proceedings to be dismissed.
The law, which requires regular updates to the voter registration database, imposes that obligation on 1,850 local electoral officials in the state, and there is "no credible argument" that the state elections committee should do so. Said the division court.
Rick Esenberg, a conservative lawyer who filed the proceedings, argued that state law clearly holds the election committee responsible for maintaining the voter list.
According to the Election Commission, the list of voters affected by the ruling has dropped from about 234,000 to 69,000 for a variety of reasons. According to a February note, when that number was 71,000, 58% of the first people on the list registered for the new address. Nearly 4% of local clerk was inactivated for a variety of reasons, including death and moving. As a result, nearly 31% of those initially identified as potential movers were still on the list.
The Commission is currently considering mailing to voters who may have traveled four times a year instead of every two years to quickly flag people who may be registered at their old address. I will.
The story and summary have been modified to show that the Wisconsin Election Commission has stated that there are no voters yet on the list of invokers who may have voted in the 2020 presidential election instead of the 2016 presidential election. it was done.

Want to create courses using Moodle and sell them using an actual e-commerce application?
If you are reading this then you either use Moodle already, or are planning to use Moodle to create courses and then sell them online; but, you aren't sure where to start. If you have previously used Moodle then you know that it already has a paypal plugin built in that allows the existing users to purchase a course using paypal. The issue here is that people can only purchase your courses after they have registered for your moodle site and only then, purchase one course at a time. This is not the most pleasing e-commerce experience for your customers/users. Wouldn't it be great if you had an application that worked with what you already have (Moodle) and gave you the freedom to use a shopping cart to sell those courses the right way?
Lingel Learning introduces enrolmart, an advanced ecommerce application (shopping cart) that allows you to sell online courses, face to face sessions, shippable and downloadable products, subscriptions and more, all from one application. You can create courses in Moodle or enrolmart and sync them across to the other platform with one click. You can create voucher codes for your corporate customers who can then provide those codes to their employees, who can purchase the courses free or at a discounted rate. Whether you already use Moodle or are planning to use it in the future, whether you host Moodle with us or you don't, you can still use enrolmart with all the features listed above and many more.
enrolmart seamlessly integrates with Moodle and allows you to start selling courses and much more in almost no time at all.
Visit https://enrolmart.com or call 1300 553 345 for more details.
If you want to start creating courses and do not have Moodle or not sure where to start, call us at 1300 553 345.

Leah On the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (Blogmas)
December 15, 2018 April 28, 2020 ~ The Little Contemporary Corner
After reading Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, I was both content and gutted because I loved it but also it was over! Me and Sarah both decided to take Leah On The Offbeat to Amsterdam on our trip away and it was the best decision! It's a fun read and it was so lovely to be back into a familiar world full of characters I adore.I think the main thing I enjoyed about this book is the world of characters. Becky Albertalli is really brilliant at writing side characters who feel really well thought out. A lot of books have side characters with a very basic personality and they are pretty much only plot devices but something I love about her writing is how nuanced and different the relationships are between different friends.
Secondly, it deals with bisexual representation. I'm bisexual myself and it's pretty rare to find a book/film/tv show that literally says the word 'bisexual'. Of course, not labelling is fine too – there is no 'right' way to be queer. But for an identity which gets ignored or stereotyped, it's just nice to read it. However, I have to say my opinion on the bisexual representation is a mixed bag. I think there are some aspects of it which are a bit of a problem. Leah's character is the main reason for this.
I want to warn now that I can't write this review without spoilers so beware past this point – there will be spoilers! There is a moment when Abby is trying to figure out her sexuality (something she reveals she has been struggling with for a long time and still is during the book) and she describes herself as being "a little bisexual" (or something along those lines). Leah then gets really angry with her because she can't just be slightly bi, she needs to sort herself out and accept herself. I hated this view and to be honest it really made me dislike Leah.
I've never been a huge fan of Leah anyway and this book did put me off her more. She is a very judgemental character and although in many ways she tries to help her friends and sticks up for what is right, she's really quite mean to Abby! At the end of the day, you cannot and should not force someone to identify a certain way. You certainly can't make them feel comfortable about it – that's something you really cannot force.
However, I got to see way more of my favourite character from these books – Abby Suso! I adore Abby with my whole heart and she is definitely one of my favourite characters of all time. She's kind, funny, adorable and sunshine in human form. Seeing more of her in this book was so wonderful. We got to see a more in-depth and vulnerable side to her – especially the different relationships she has with different people in the group. I really enjoyed the little friendship moments between her and Bram! Also Simon and Abby are the cutest pals ever and I adore them!
I personally really enjoyed the storyline between her and Nick and the problems they went through. For me, I think it made a lot of sense and between Simon Vs. and Leah, we got to see a well-rounded view of a relationship which has highs and lows and in the end doesn't work out and that's okay and doesn't have to be anybody's fault – something which I appreciate as I don't think it's that common to see. Sometimes, things just don't work. However, on the topic of relationships, I really don't like that all of the friendship group ending up dating other people in the inner or outer circle of their group. I don't think that came across as very genuinely realistic, especially as they were all going to college in very different areas.
I'm unsure how I feel about Abby and Leah ending up a couple. There were moments I was really rooting for them and thought they were adorable but there were also times when I think it would have been cool to have a new character for Leah to fall in love with, as well as having her original crush on Abby. Abby could still be bi just not romantically involved with Leah. Of course, this is all down to personal opinion!
Considering I wasn't a fan of the main character, I enjoyed this book quite a lot. It's an easy read and has adorably fun moments with a friendship group we already know and love. Despite some of the issues I've mentioned, I would recommend giving it a go and seeing what you think. I'm definitely glad I read it!
Have you read Leah? What did you think?

A perfect replacement product is our Clamp-Connect 150 Watt (12v/15v) Multi-Tap Low Voltage Transformer.
An ideal transformer for small- to medium-sized projects!
Suitable for small- to medium-sized projects, this 150-watt landscape lighting transformer is extremely durable and features top-of the-line internal & external components. Designed to achieve professional results and commercial reliability, no other transformers on the market match the performance and features of this product.
150-watt capacity with four voltage taps (12V, 13V, 14V, and 15V) to allow the installer to compensate for voltage loss.
Toroidal core for more reliable, efficient, cooler and quieter operation than EI laminated transformers.
Control device receptacles for optional timers and photocells so you can set ON/OFF times.
Spacious wire compartment makes installation a breeze.
Stainless steel enclosure with lockable hinged lid.
Colored wire markers & installation manual.
These transformers use two coils, a primary coil and a secondary coil, to reduce the voltage from 120 volt down to 12 volts. The primary coil carries the line voltage (108 v to 132 v). The flow of electricity through the primary coil induces a magnetic field that creates a current in the secondary coil. Since the secondary coil has 10 times fewer windings, it creates a current with 10 times lower voltage.
Laminated/stacked cores (also know as EI type). Laminated or stacked windings have sheets wrapped in copper wire that are then stacked or laminated together to make a core. This is the more common, less expensive method for manufacturing a core. These are less efficient, run hotter and are noisier than toroidal cares.
Toroidal cores. These are one solid unit shaped like a donut and have the windings wrapped around the donut, in and out of the donut hole. Toroidal cores are more efficient, experience less buzz, and run cooler but are more expensive to make.
The choice of whether or not to use a toroidal core also depends the system load. Systems with relatively high loads - such as lighting systems with 10 or more fixtures, benefit the most from toroidal cores; smaller systems - such as those with less than 50 watts of load, are served well with EI laminated types.
This transformer type converts the 120 volt current to 12 volts by first increasing the frequency of the current (from 60 Hz to as high as 20,000 Hz). The increased frequency allows the use of a miniature core enabling the transformer to be very small, light, and inexpensive. The biggest downside is that their high frequency current may not be compatible with LED circuits. These currents also suffer from extensive voltage loss compared to magnetic types. A 12-volt electronic transformer must be positioned within about 10 ft. of the fixture. Electronic transformers are also subject to overheating and premature failure.
Still have questions about transformer types? Call our lighting specialists at 813-978-3700.

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it's best to take it seriously. And when you treat yourself to breakfast or brunch in Lewisville, Texas, you're practically guaranteed a hearty meal that will keep you full until dinnertime.
We've got some tasty and tempting breakfast and brunch eateries in the area, and each of them serve hearty portions you're sure to love. When you wake up starving and you have a large appetite, head to one of these spots and treat yourself to one of the best breakfasts in Lewisville, Texas.
Mill Street Diner is open daily from 7AM – 2PM, so breakfast is definitely their main focus. This little roadside diner is definitely a beloved local favorite as well as a popular stop for travelers who are just passing through.
The flapjacks here are locally famous for being both enormous and delicious. Get a big stack, or add a short stack (which is short in height but not small in size) to your meal. Other especially excellent options include the Farmer's Omelet and the Texas Scramble, which includes potatoes, eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and cheese.
Main Street Cafe is another local gem. They're open from 6AM – 3 PM daily (except Sundays, when they're open from 7 – 2). Don't be fooled by their small, unassuming building—this place serves some seriously mouthwatering freshly prepared food.
Try the filling Huevos Rancheros or the Chicken Fried Steak. If they have seasonal pancakes on the menu, such as pumpkin, treat yourself to a stack of those, too.
Mama's Daughters Diner has been a Dallas area staple since 1958, and the good old-fashioned home-cooking is just as comforting today as it was then. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, including hearty morning meals that will keep you full all day long.
You can't go wrong with one of Mama's Daughters' three egg omelets. You'll have your choice of ham and cheese, veggie, Denver or several other delightful combinations. All omelets come with toast or freshly made biscuits.
Pie 314 may be known for its pizza, but you can also order brunch here on Saturdays and Sundays from 10AM – 3PM. Aside from the amazing bottomless mimosas, they have an incredible and enticing menu that includes a little something for everyone.
A better question here might be, What shouldn't you order? The Stuffed French Toast is the stuff dreams are made of, the Breakfast Tacos are delightful, and you can never go wrong with Chicken and Waffles. Meat lovers gravitate toward the Pork Trifecta Breakfast Sandwich, which comes with brown sugar and chili-glazed bacon, pulled pork, ham, cheddar, and a fried egg on an English muffin.
This charming eatery has been part of the Lewisville community for over 16 years, and they're one of the top places in town to go for great food and friendly service. Needless to say, their breakfast menu is exceptional.
If it's a breakfast food, you'll find it on the menu here. Tierney's has steak and eggs, omelets and scrambles, breakfast tacos and burritos, and three Benedicts. We highly recommend the Lewisville Fighting Farmer Omelet, the Sausage Lover's Skillet or the California Benedict, which comes with smoked turkey, avocado, mushrooms and Hollandaise sauce.
No matter what you order, try and enjoy it on the relaxing patio.
Korner Cafe is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they're known for their friendly service and pleasant atmosphere as well as their wonderful food. You'll definitely find typical diner fare here, though they also have some great healthy options.
The Korner Breakfast Sandwich is especially excellent, and so is the Stuffed French Toast, which has the perfect amount of sweetness.
Living at Hebron 121 Station means you're never more than a couple of miles away from a hearty, savory breakfast you don't have to cook yourself. And if that alone doesn't convince you to join our resort community, this virtual tour surely will.


Emoryi is one of my favorite snakes. How are the Kisatchies doing? They may be close to breedable now. Thanks for sharing the pics and yes they were enjoyable.
Yes, my female Kisatchie looks like she's big enough to breed this year. I'm just waiting on my male to shed, then I'll see if he has any interest in her. If I'm lucky enough to catch 'em in the act, I'll post more photos!

Britain's vote to LEAVE the European Union triggered immediate financial markets panic that prompted the Bank of England to implement its emergency market rescue plan that included making upto £250 billion available to Britains banks that succeeded in halting the BrExit financial panic in its tracks as sterling stabilised at lower levels whilst the FTSE soared into the stratosphere recovering all of Fridays plunge and registering its best weekly gain in over 4 years. So what's next for the financial markets? Is the BrExit financial storm over? Find out in Part 2 of the Implications of BrExit on the financial markets, stocks, sterling, house prices and UK politics.
The mainstream press is in a state of hysteria, panic even following the plunge in the British Pounds from a Thursday night high of £/$1.50 to currently stand at £/$ 1.33. Whilst yes the 12% downwards plunge from £/$1.50 is in forex markets terms HUGE, a move not seen the likes of for many decades that takes the dollar exchange rate down to levels last seen in 1985. Nevertheless the mainstream press has missed one fundamental fact for the obvious reason that they just DO NOT understand the financial markets and what the market movements actually mean or translate into.
This despite the same clueless press earlier on in the year reporting on the likes of Japan implementing NEGATIVE interest rates in an attempt to PUSH the Japanese Yen LOWER as each nation in an attempt to boost domestic demand by means of importing inflation and exporting deflation in what is commonly termed as the CURRENCY WARS.
Therefore rather than the plunge in the British Pound being disastrous, instead Britain has effectively won a regional war in a raging global currency war all without implementing any panic monetary tools or economic policy, which is set against other central banks right across the western world from Switzerland to the whole Euro-zone block and Japan, repeatedly cutting their interest rates to below ZERO in panic attempts to push their currencies LOWER!
With the sterling plunging towards 1.30 the 1.40-1.50 range may now seem very distant but I think that when the dust settles a year from now sterling should be back in to its pre-Brexit trading range against the US Dollar as the forex markets turn their attentions to the EURO! And a reminder that a weak currency is the objective of EVERY central bank in what has been termed as currency wars, the most notable manifestations of which are zero and NEGATIVE interest rates, Japan, the European Union, China and the United States ALL WANT a WEAK currencies so that they can export deflation and import inflation. So Britain's currency plunging boosts exports and cuts imports which means Britain has effectively won a major battle in the currency wars without implementing any extreme market measures such as the likes of BoJ, ECB and Swiss central banks have this year!
So what did the FTSE actually do? Well, the FTSE futures bottomed early Friday morning at about 5750, before the markets opened, and then with each passing trading day have gathered strength and momentum to the UPSIDE! With the last FTSE close of 6577, its highest since August 2015 and apparently having had its best week in over 4 years!
So what happened to the brexit stock market apocalypse? Take note dear reader of the garbage that is 90% of that which passes for market commentary, written by clueless journalists, academics or salesmen.
So against prevailing year long perma-doom my consistent view ALL year has been that the stock market would trend towards NEW ALL TIME HIGHS before the end of this year. Whilst my last in-depth analysis of Mid May concluded that stocks had entered a correction that would see the Dow trend lower towards 17,000 by the end of June 2016, just as that which has subsequently come to pass and now resolved in a trend that should take the Dow to new all time highs.
Therefore, so far the stock market has been trending inline with my expectations i.e. to temporarily plunge on Brexit, and now having recovered ALL of the decline and more, so has done nothing to alter my long standing view that the stock market remains on track to trend towards new all time highs during the second half of this year as the above video of Mid May illustrates, and which I will come back to in great detail in forthcoming analysis but for now take this as another warning not to listen to the perma doom near always wrong crowd who today are once more busy peddling crash, collapse, and worst bear market in history fear, that if they actually acted on their calls would now also be going broke! This whilst the likes of the FTSE clearly remains firmly within its trading range which for a bull market tends to be a precursor for breakout to new highs, as has been the case for over 7 years now and which is the message I have iterated for the duration of this stocks bull market.
Whilst London will see a more severe slowdown in momentum than the rest of the UK and actual year on year falls in some over priced locations and for flats, as per my in-depth analysis of December 2015 that had expected London to take a hit but overall UK average house prices to continue trending higher for 2016, a trend that should become apparent over the coming months.
David Cameron's announcement to step down as Prime Minister by early September propelled Brexit Leader Boris Johnson to become the favourite to takeover as Britain's next Tory Leader and Prime Minister. However, the great game for the Tory 'iron throne' was on, as Michael Gove today both discredited Boris Johnson whom he was supposed to be the campaign manager for and then went against EVERYTHING he has stated during the EU Referendum Campaign, in fact against everything he has been saying for the past 4 years by declaring that he himself would now stand for the Tory Leadership, so it looks like Gove, just like 'Little Finger' has apparently been manoeuvring towards the Tory 'iron throne' all along!
For instance during the referendum campaign when asked in one of the debates - "When Mr Cameron steps down are you considering a leadership bid?"
Michael 'Little Finger' Gove replied " I can tell, I am absolutely not. The one thing I can tell you is that there are lots of talented people who could be Prime Minister after David Cameron, but count me out"
And earlier still ""The one thing I do know having seen David Cameron up close is it takes extraordinary reserves of patience of judgement of character to lead this country and he has it and I don't and I think it's important to recognise in life you've reached an appropriate point."
And one more time - "There are lots of other folk including in the Cabinet who could easily be prime minister, I am not one of them. I could not be prime minister, I am not equipped to be prime minister, I don't want to be prime minister."
"I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead. I have therefore decided to put my name forward for the leadership."
In response to which Boris Johnson surprised all by stating that he would not be standing - "I must tell you my friends, you who have waited patiently for the punch line of this speech that having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in Parliament I have concluded that person cannot be me, my role will be to give every possible support to the next Conservative administration to properly fulfill the mandate if the British people"
So whilst Michael 'Little Finger' Gove may today be the rank outsider amongst the list of declared candidates to sit on the Tory 'iron throne' now that Boris 'Baratheon' Johnson has been slain along with his bullingdon club buddy David 'Lanister' Cameron, which effectively clears the field for previously unthinkable candidates such as Michael 'Little Finger' Gove to continue working his way on the Tory 'iron throne'.
It's too early to see who will win the chaotic great game to become the next Tory Leader and Prime Minister as there is a long way to go and with much more political bloodshed expected along the way, but for now do NOT underestimate Michael 'little finger' Gove.
And whilst the Tories sort out their next Leader Britain is effectively being run by Mark Carney at the Bank of England who has been busy pumping hundreds of billions into the markets and banking sector.
Meantime the Labour party seeing the Tories in complete disarray have decided to go one step better by completely self destructing as Labour MP's attempt to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn, who is the overwhelming choice of the ordinary Labour party members, an effective Westminister coup which does not bode well for Labours electoral prospects.
In fact we may be seeing the death of the Labour party as we have know it splitting into god knows what factions. After all Labour is already dead in Scotland and has been dealt a hammer blow in North England and Wales with UKIP turning its core heartlands into hollow husks as illustrated by the results out of the supposed Labour strong holds of Sheffield (52% Leave) and Rotherham (67% Leave) as Labour is morphing into a party just of London, completely detached from its traditional supporters across England, this changing the Leader is not going to make any difference to the crisis Labour faces!
All of which acts to reinforce my long standing expectations that the Conservatives remain firmly on track to win the NEXT General Election regardless of who eventually claims the Tory 'iron throne' because the opposition is disintegrating before our very eyes.
And where BrExit is concerned, it is useful to know that whilst 52% of the British people voted for LEAVE, 75% of Westminister MP's backed REMAIN, which means it is going to be tough to achieve a BrExit outcome, especially if the next PM is not selected from the BrExit camp.
And this throws up an even bigger problem for Westminster which is that the mainstream political parties DO NOT reflect the electorate. The divisions between the three centrists parties - Labour, Liberals and Conservatives does not reflect the real world divisions in the country which the EU Referendum highlighted , i.e. LEAVE and REMAIN were better representative entities than either of the Conservative or Labour party's, which implies that the referendum may claim at least one of these parties (Labour most probable) as the political spectrum is redrawn.
"Okay, it's clear there was a vote to leave, but it wasn't 70-30 or 60-40, it was 52-48. Yes the referendum expressed the will of the people but the will of the people is entitled to change."
Tony Blair is apparently forgetting that his own Labour election victories never achieved anywhere near 52% of the vote, with his last election win on barely 35%, but now apparently he wants to subvert the clear will of the people far beyond that which any government has achieved since before the second world war!.
And finally we come to Scotland, shrill voices heard from north of the wall as the likes of the SNP are seeking to subvert the will of the British People with threats of their own second Independence referendum. However, IF that happens I am sure Scotland will once AGAIN vote to REMAIN within the United Kingdom because by the time the referendum is held, say 2 years from now, then it will become crystal clear that EXITING the European Union WAS INDEPENDENCE not just for the UK but also for Scotland. BrExit really is in the BEST interests of ALL of the people of Britain, even those that support the SNP fundamentalist fanatics who in their hatred of all things England would rather see Scotland burn then remain within the United Kingdom, which includes being members of a dieing European Union that in my long standing opinion is heading for disintegration of which BrExit is just the most recent step along its ultimate path towards collapse.
So whilst the likes of Sturgeon fantasises that the European Union will welcome breakaway Scotland with open arms, however, virtually every EU nation has their own Scotland, each seeking independence from their nation states and thus the EU giving Scotland 'special treatment' would rejuvenate secessionist movements right across the EU with the likes of Catalonia and the Basque region in Spain, Venice and Tyrol in Italy, Corsica in France, Flanders in Belgium and even Bavaria in Germany are just some of Europe's many independence flash points which means few EU nations will be willing to open up that can of worms.
And then we have the economic reality of Scotland that is on the receiving end of a net subsidy from England of £11 billion. So if Scotland leaves the UK are the SNP fantasising that the bill for filling the £11 billion black hole will be picked up by the likes of Germany? And what happens when Scotland fails to realise its annual net subsidy of £11 billion from the European Union? Scotland will within a matter of months if not weeks become Greece 2.0. So does Sturgeon really think that with all the chaos Greece has wrought on the Euro-zone that the EU wants to repeat the same mistake with Scotland i.e. to replace the UK which is a net contributor to the tune of about £10 billion per annum with one that demands a net subsidy of £11 billion per annum?
A reminder that Scotland's break even oil price i.e. one where Scotland could finance what it spends without subsidy is $150. So where is the price today? $48, which isn't enough to keep Scotland's oil sector alive without additional English subsidies let alone cover the Scottish governments £11 billion black hole! An Independent Scotland as part of the Euro-zone would be the same bankrupt sinking ship as is Greece, in permanent recession, where the voice of 5.3 million Scots would count for little amidst a pool of 450 million europeans (after brexit).
And that is before we come to the details that would once more crop up during a second referendum campaign, the details of currency, debt, subsidy, oil fields and more. All of which led the people of Scotland last time to vote to REMAIN within the UK.
So this is where I stand in the immediate aftermath of Brexit on 10 key economic indicators and markets, that I will each come back to as I map out in detail the prospects for Britain and Europe over the coming months and years so do ensure you are subscribed to my always free newsletter to get this analysis in your email in box.

Science Journey: "Fueling the World Engine: Chemistry for Solar Fuels"
Jake Evans, Graduate Student in Chemistry
This video premiered on Friday, November 6, 2020.
How much power does the world use? How do solar panels work? What chemicals could we use to store energy?
In this video, Jake Evans explains how chemists are using light to make fuels and move towards a sustainable energy future.
Questions from Viewers; Answers from Jake
How massive would the solar panels have to be to get 18+ terawatts of power?
Great question! I'm going to assume you mean to ask how much area would we need to cover to generate that much power.
If we can use the entirety of the Earth's surface, we need about 5% of the surface covered by modern-day solar panels to generate 100% of the Earth's power demand. If we can't use the oceans (because transporting power from the middle of the ocean is hard) then we need about 15% of the world's land. Which is a lot!
You can offset this somewhat by using rooftops but realistically we'd need an improvement in technology to make this feasible. Fortunately, there is room for improvement! Plus, we don't necessarily need to generate 100% of our power from solar. We can incorporate wind, hydro, nuclear, and of course, hydrogen! Storing solar energy reduces the area we'd need to cover with solar panels to meet our needs.
Reference: Sandia National Laboratories
Couldn't nuclear reactors, which don't produce carbon dioxide, be used to generate hydrogen?
Yes, nuclear can be used to generate hydrogen, but modern reactors use steam turbines to harness that energy because it's more efficient.
Is there any work on controlling the volatility of hydrogen which makes it so dangerous (in the Hindenburg disaster, for instance)?
Your question on safety concerns with hydrogen is a very important one. Hydrogen can indeed be very dangerous if improperly handled. In fact, it is not unheard of for explosions to occur when scientists attempt water splitting without proper safety controls. As a result, there has been considerable research on safely containing and transporting hydrogen. Most of that has been worked out already. Industry has safety controls so that filling a rocket with literally tons of hydrogen is a regular occurrence and accidents at hydrogen generation plants are extremely rare.
One of the current areas of research is storing hydrogen in porous solid materials for applications such as hydrogen-powered cars to prevent detonation should the storage unit suffer damage. It's similar to how batteries work. To my knowledge that has not yet been commercialized but it is an active area of research!

How do we suck all the energy from the sun?
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to get all of the energy from the Sun because we are so far away. Think about how a flashlight looks really bright from close up but you can hardly see it from far away. To get as much energy from the Sun as possible we need to use chemicals like semiconductors to absorb a lot of light and turn it into electricity. Though we should also use wind power because wind energy is solar energy too! Winds are caused by the Sun heating the Earth unevenly so if we want all the energy from the Sun we should harvest the winds too.
If E=MC2, and we have an infinite number of atoms in the universe, why are we facing a shortage of power?
I'll start by saying that there are not an infinite number of atoms in the observable universe. There are a lot, but not an infinite number.
That equation you are referencing calculates the energy of a resting particle, which for atoms is only recoverable by nuclear processes which is very hard to do for most atoms. I should also point out that we aren't really facing a shortage of power! We have a lot of fossil fuels left, though not an infinite amount.
What we are facing is environmental pressure which makes continual burning of carbon undesirable, at least at our current rate. Similarly, we have lots and lots of solar power available, but we don't have enough solar technology to harness it all. That's where research into solar energy and solar fuels comes in. Think of it like trying to collect water from the ocean to fill a swimming pool using only a coffee mug. The problem isn't that we don't have enough water, it's that our cup is too small!
When you were talking about the cars and electricity, what about electric cars?
Electric cars are a very cool technology! I focused on hydrogen-powered cars because my talk was about hydrogen, but I'd be happy to expand on it a little. In my opinion (emphasis on "opinion"), battery-powered electric cars are more likely to be the vehicle of choice in the future than hydrogen powered cars. However, that doesn't mean solar fuels would have no impact on cars.
A factor to consider when looking at "clean" technology is where the electricity is coming from. And for electric cars, the answer is the same as it is for your house: carbon! So while the car itself doesn't burn any carbon, the power plant it uses to charge up probably does. Perhaps they would be better for the environment if the power plants burned hydrogen!
Since solar panels don't work at night, can't we combine solar with other methods such as wind and hydro energy?
Great question! You are absolutely on the right track. We will definitely need to use wind and hydro to help out with our nighttime problem. However, even putting those together doesn't quite solve our problem because both of those are what's called "intermittent" power sources.
For example, what do you do if you live in a place where you can't make hydro power because there's not enough water and one day the wind doesn't blow? You'd have no power! We don't want that situation to happen so that's why we want to store the power as hydrogen. But you are absolutely right that power sources like wind, hydro, and even nuclear could be used to help us with the nighttime problem.
I really enjoyed your video and am now aware of and interested in semiconductors. Besides silicon, what other promising semiconductors are there?
That's wonderful to hear! There are all sorts of cool semiconductors out there. I work with gallium arsenide a lot because it is more efficient than silicon, but also more fragile. There's indium phosphide, germanium, strontium titanate, tungsten oxide, titanium dioxide, lead-halide perovskites and so many more! Each has its own properties which make them useful for one thing or another.
Germanium was used to make the first transistor and is still used today (though silicon is more common), strontium titanate is one of the only materials known which can split water all by itself, indium phosphide is good for lasers and high-frequency tech, titanium dioxide can be used for white paint or solar windows, tungsten oxide changes color with electricity, and perovskites are one of the more promising solar materials out there. There are so many semiconductors with unique and interesting properties!
For a more in-depth look at how semiconductors work I recommend PV Education.
Which property of hydrogen makes it suitable to store energy? And how can we put energy in the hydrogen?
Hydrogen has an extremely high gravimetric energy capacity, meaning it stores lots of energy per unit of mass. It is also relatively easy to make!
The second part of your question is a little tricky for me to answer. I think the most basic answer is that "we use the Sun and semiconductors to put the energy in". The reason this is tricky is that we are not adding any energy to the hydrogen, we are adding energy to the system. Consider the slide where I showed how plants store energy as sugars. Water is quite stable — a chemist might say it has "low free energy" — so it sits on the bottom of the graph. Hydrogen is relatively unstable — it has high free energy — and sits in the valley higher up in the graph.
What we are doing when we perform water splitting is putting in enough energy to rip the water apart and then form new bonds which are more unstable (H-H bond is less happy than O-H bond). Now I have the exact same atoms (same system) arranged in a new way that has more energy than it used to. That's what we need the Sun for: adding that energy. Then we just need a little nudge like a spark or something to push it out of the valley and break these new bonds which re-forms the more stable bonds. This releases the energy we put in earlier so we can use it now.

If you're looking for a way to create a bootable USB flash drive of some ISO file, you're at the right page. Whether you want to upgrade your Computer's OS or Re-install a new one. Here we're going to take a step-by-step look at how to go about this process in detail. Installations from a USB flash drive have become one of the easiest ways to update your computer with a new operating system. A USB installation is quick, extremely portable, and has the added bonus of reverting back to a storage device following the install.
An ISO file of Windows you want to install (7, 8 or 10).
A USB flash drive or SD card (with 8GB+ memory).
A tool Rufus, download here.
Rufus is a portable program works on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, and will "burn" an ISO image file to any type of USB storage device you happen to have. Aside from partition scheme, file systems, cluster size, and the type of bootable you'll be creating. Once you've selected the bootable disk type and the ISO image you'll be burning, you can happily hit Start and wait for the process to finish.
1. When you're ready, double-click on the rufus.exe file. The Rufus program will start right away.
2. Insert the flash drive you want to "burn" the ISO file to into your computer, assuming it's not already plugged in.
3. Check that the USB drive is empty Because Rufus will format it during the process.
4. From the top of the Rufus program screen, choose the USB storage device you want to burn the ISO file to.
Note: Double check the USB drive, if you don't see it. Try another USB device and/or another USB port on your computer.
5. Leave the Partition scheme and target system type, File system, and Cluster size alone unless you know what you're doing.
6. Now to Create a bootable drive, make sure ISO Image is selected and then tap or click on the CD/DVD icon.
7. Another window will open, locate and then select the ISO image you want to burn to the flash drive.
8. Tap open, wait while Rufus inspects the ISO file you chose.
Note: If you get an Unsupported ISO message, the ISO you chose is not supported for burning to USB by Rufus.
9. Tap or click on Start to start the "burning" of the ISO file to the USB device you chose.
Note: If you get an Image is too big message, you'll need to use a larger USB device.
10. Tap or click OK to the Warning. Again ensure that the flash drive or other USB device is empty.
11. Now Rufus will properly format the USB drive so it's bootable, and then copies all of the files contained in the ISO image. The time depends on the file size in most cases it takes less than 20 minutes.
12. Once it says DONE, you can close Rufus and remove the USB drive.
13. Plug it again and you'll see a changed icon. It indicates that your USB flash drive is now bootable. Boot from the USB drive now that it's properly "burned" and then continue with whatever it is you're using this bootable drive for.
For queries feel free to drop a comment below.

Romania could lower bank tax, finance minister says
Author Adrian Jimenea
Romania could lower the tax it requires banks to pay, Reuters reported, citing Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici.
The tax rate could be brought down to a range of 0.2% to 0.4% from 0.1% to 0.5% of lenders' financial assets based on their market share, and certain assets could also be exempted from tax, the March 20 report said. The ministry has already been in contact with banks, which have until March 21 to assess the proposal. The government plans to approve the changes through another emergency decree on March 28.
The new proposal uncouples the tax rate with the Romanian interbank offered rate, which stood at 2.94% to 3.30% as of March 20.
In December 2018, the government imposed surprise tax rates on several industries, including the banking sector, which could reach 0.9%. The decision drew flak from regulators, with central bank Governor Mugur Isărescu saying the move "could kill banks."

CWG 2022: Mighty Australia first up for Harmanpreet's India
Left reeling after two of their players, S Meghna and allrounder Pooja Vastrakar, were struck by Covid-19, India's women's cricket team members face an uphill task when they takes on seven-time ODI world champions and hot favourites Australia in their opening game at Edgbaston on Friday.
In an encouraging development, it has emerged that Meghna has recovered and has flown to Birmingham. She was slate to join the squad late on Thursday night, and should be available for the opener. However, Vastrakar is likely to be in quarantine till Saturday. Even if she flies to England on Sunday, she will only be available for India's last league game against Barbados on Wednesday.
Before the tough opener against the Aussies, the current world champions, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, in an innovative training drill, was seen practising with a golf club.
Explaining why she swapped the bat for a driver, Harmanpreet said on Thursday: "Whenever I go out to bat at the nets, I use a golf club so that I can warm myself up. In T20s, there are times when you need to go and hit from the first ball, so it is important to be fit and that was the whole idea.
"My trainer introduced me to this practice. There are times when you go into a match and need to go big right from the start and that could lead to chances of injury. That was the reason he advised me to train with the golf club before walking out to bat. That helps me for my wrist and shoulder warm-up and by the time I get a chance to bat, it helps me in swinging the bat better."
The captain said that her team was also excited about the much-anticipated clash against Pakistan on Sunday. "When we were growing up, there was a passion every time the men's team took on Pakistan. But you don't think about these things when you are playing, your only focus is on how you can do well," Harmanpreet said.
This is only the second time since the 1998 Games in Kuala Lumpur that cricket has been included in the CWG, and the first occasion when women's cricket is a part of these games. In the 1998 CWG the men's competition was played in the 50-over format. The matches were given List 'A' status only.
This time, the tournament will be played in the T20 format. India are in Group 'A' along with Australia, Pakistan and Barbados, while Group 'B' comprises England, South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. After the Australia clash in their opener, they play Pakistan on July 31.

A bullet was fired into the Uyo home of All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Nsima Ekere yesterday.
Ekere said he "narrowly escaped an assassination attempt".
Narrating how it happened, Ekere said he was meeting party leaders in the nearby residence of the Managing Director of the Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority, Mr Umana Umana, when the bullet was fired into his upstairs bedroom where his wife and sister were at the time.
Following a distress call from his wife, Obong Ekere, accompanied by party leaders, rushed home to the scene of the incident.
The scene was subsequently cordoned off and the expended bullet taken away by security agents following the visit of Commissioner of Police Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi and some personnel from the Police and the Department of State Security (DSS).
The Police however declined to speak on the matter.
Ekere said that the incident was disturbing coming at the beginning of the electioneering season and shortly after an attack on the residence of Senator Godswill Akpabio.
He appealed to Inspector-General of Police and the DSS Director-General to take a serious look at the security situation in the state and the attempt on his life coming shortly after Governor Udom Emmanuel recruited some notorious retired and serving security personnel who previously served in the state to form his security architecture.
The APC State Caucus Chairman Chief Don Etiebet described the assassination attempt on Ekere as callous, sad and untoward and called on security agencies to thoroughly investigate it.

As young queer people raised in queer families and communities, we reject the liberal gay agenda that gives top priority to the fight for marriage equality. The queer families and communities we are proud to have been raised in are nothing like the ones transformed by marriage equality. This agenda fractures our communities, pits us against natural allies, supports unequal power structures, obscures urgent queer concerns, abandons struggle for mutual sustainability inside queer communities and disregards our awesomely fabulous queer history.
