As you all must know we do love drinking Vintage Port, but now and then we are of course also drinking many other interesting and wonderful wines. We are often visiting other wine regions, and so we did this summer too; and this summer we visited Loire and Champagne. Why can't the great Champagnes Houses take care of champagne lover as for example the great Port Houses do? When you are visiting most of the great Champagne Houses you have to visit their cellars (or even a Tower – God help us) to have a glass of their standard Brut, which we of course had enjoyed many times before. If you have seen 50 cellars the 51st is not very exciting – just dull. This year we decided that it was the last year we visit the great Champagne houses where we have to go through their cellars to have a glass of their standard Brut to taste.
This is in contrast to most of the great Port Wine Houses. They have tasting rooms and you can visit their cellars if you want to, but it is always possible to just buy a glass of their vintage Port or an old Colheita and have an interesting conversation with the person serving it. They take care of Port Lovers indeed when we are coming.
If you are going to Champagne, visit the small Houses, like Michel Gonet in Avize where we had a marvelous morning discussing both Grave red wines and vintage champagne with Michel Gonet himself. Go to Launois in Le Mesnil sur Oger drinking their ordinary or vintage champagne or go to Jean Milan in Oger. All are wonderful small houses taking care of persons loving Champagne. If you are in Eperney there are wonderful tastings at Bergére, Collard-Picard and Paul-Etienne Saint Germain, all on Avenue de Champagne, and all offered different lovely champagnes without having to take a cellar tour.

Thread: Modern Icelandic Women: Stature, Iris Pigmentation, Etc.
Well, I lucked out in finding the Iceland Actor's Union site (http://www.actors-union.is/felagar/leikkonur/leikkonur.htm), so I decided to use the actresses below as a sample population in regard to the stature and iris pigmentation of modern Icelandic women--this may or may not be a valid study for this purpose, I'm not a statistician, but where else is one going to find such data (stature & iris pigment.) ONLINE? And, besides, who would even make a study like this?! A nerd like me, that's who! LOL Directly below this passage are 144 actresses/'samples' all of whom to the best of my knowledge are Icelanders. Below that section is a list of those actresses I have excluded from this study for one reason or another (reasons provided). Below that part is a list of ten actresses who caught my eye for aesthetic reasons, generally--well, I'll be honest, they're the crème-de-la-crème of the whole sample population as far as BEAUTY is defined by me. LOL That section is followed by all the statistical tallies, translations, etc.; which is really the 'meat' of this study. So, what does this study tell me about female Icelander stature and iris pigmentation? The following: 1.) nearly all adult Icelandic women (95.14%) have a stature of at least 160 cm. or approx. 5 ft., 3 inches; the median or middle-sized woman is 168 cm. or a little over 5 ft., 6 inches tall; 2.) the OVERWHELMING majority of Icelandic women (93.06%) possess blonde irises, with 'blonde' defined as ranging from clear/'pure' blues to green-brown/brown-green (I have ignored light browns in this study because not one actresss in this whole study declared her irises to be such); the median iris color (or the middle iris color) is blue-gray. Approx. 59% of all Icelandic women have irises ranging from either clear/'pure' blue to 'dark-blue' irises. Again, the grand totals are at the bottom of this article. I'd like to thank Willowsprout on Skadi for assisting me with this, she is primarily of Icelandic blood, and it is to her and her fellow sisters of said ethnicity that I dedicate this study…I hope it is considered just by them most of all. I, for one, hold GREAT love and respect for the Icelander Folk.
Arnbjörg Valsdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: very blonde (light flaxen); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue, prob. clear/'pure' blue); height: 164 cm.
Drífa Arnþórsdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: red ('flaming' red); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue); height: 158 cm.
Guðlaug Elísabet Ólafsdóttir: skin pigment.: blonde (light); hair pigment.: brunette? (light brown?); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue, prob. clear/'pure' blue); height: 178 cm.
Guðrún Marinósdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: brunette? or dark blonde? (light brown? or dark ashen?); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue); height: 168 cm.
Helga Þ. Stephensen: skin pigment.: blonde (light); hair pigment.: dark blonde? (dark ashen?); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue); height: 164 cm.
Hrefna Hallgrímsdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: red-blonde (reddish-flaxen/'strawberry blonde'); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue); height: 170 cm.
Lilja Þórisdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: uncertain?; iris pigment.: dark blonde (green); height: 170 cm.
Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir:skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: red ('flaming' red); iris pigment.: dark blonde (green); height: 170 cm.
Sigrún Edda Björnsdóttir: skin pigment.: blonde (light); hair pigment.: uncertain? blonde? (light to dark flaxen?); iris pigment.: dark blonde (green); height: 163 cm.
Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir: skin pigment.: very blonde (freckled); hair pigment.: brunette? (light brown?); iris pigment.: very blonde (blue); height: 166 cm.
Note: those with statures ranging from 165 to 169 cm. are the majority group.
Note: the light blue class above undoubtedly, in my mind, means clear/'pure' blues; also, some of those declared simply blue are really of this type too, and some of those declared blue are surely darker…pure speculation on my part, though. I've put great emphasis on the FIRST color the actress mentions in a compound color and arranged the colors from top to bottom from lightest to darkest.

I got help from the Northern California Icelandic Association and my Grandma can usually answer my questions I know a few Icelandic words myself. I think Suomut2_13 has done so much good research.He is a wonderfully sweet person!
Yeah, best to leave all the uglies and those who don't fit a Nordic ideal out.
How did Yakuts get to Iceland?
What does "Asiatic" mean in your usage? She is homely but looks East Baltic.
I don't know of any Inuits living in Iceland. She does look a little exotic, but she is not an Inuit halfbreed or anything.
I move Ms. Anna Sigríður Einarsdóttir (169 cm.& light brown irises) from the not counted list to the counted list (http://www.actors-union.is/felagar/AnnaSEin.htm).
2.) the OVERWHELMING majority of Icelandic women (93.1%) possess blonde irises, with 'blonde' defined as ranging from clear/'pure' blues to light brown.
58.62% of all Icelandic women have irises ranging from either clear/'pure' blue to 'dark-blue' irises.
The green-brown to light brown range above is essentially 'hazel' as far as I'm concerned.
Willowsprout, TAKK ROSALEGA, TAKK KÆRLEGA!!!
Willowsprout...hun er skvísa., skutla., gella!
No problem! I am now so in love with you Suomut2_13 its not even funny.


The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,089 residential sales were processed through the RAHB Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in August, 2018, less than one percent more than the same month last year and 2.9 per cent fewer than the 10-year average for the month.
Residential freehold sales were exactly the same as August of last year, while condominium sales were 2.9 per cent higher.
New residential listings were three per cent lower than the same month last year, and 4.5 per cent lower than the 10-year average.
The average residential sale price for August 2018 was 2.4 per cent lower than August of last year.
When looking at the year-to-date number of sales and average sale price, the peak of the spring market for residential occurred in May. RAHB expects there to be the usual upswing moving into the fall market.
Neighbourhoods throughout the RAHB area experience results that differ from the average of the entire RAHB market area. In August, Hamilton Centre, Burlington, Stoney Creek and Dunnville experienced significantly higher increases in residential average sale price than the RAHB average, while Hamilton West and Flamborough experienced slightly greater decreases in average price than the RAHB average.
Neighbourhoods vary, so determining the right price when buying or selling a property can be challenging. Local REALTORS® have the experience and tools to help buyers and sellers make those big decisions, so please consult with one.
*Average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold through the RAHB MLS® System. Average sale price can be useful in establishing long-term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value.

On a sunny Friday we realized that our pinafores were very dirty, so we decided to wash them at school.
We started by wetting the pinafores until they were completely soaked, then we put soap on stains and started scrubbing them. Some of them did not dissapear but some were gone after some energetic scrubbing!
It was then that we realized that the water had changed colour!! When we started it was transparent and when we finished it was reddish!! All the paint that was on the pinafores had gone to the water!! The pinafores were clean but the water was dirty!!
The pinafores were then clean, but full of soap, so we had to rinse them. Once they were rinsed we had to sqweeze out all the water with the help of a friend. One had to twist to one side and the other friend to the other side. It was magic!! Most of the water disappeared!!
Then we hung them out in the playground and before going home they were completely dry!!
As a follow up activity the children had to put in order the pictures showing the sequence of the events.

Tony-Nominated Musical Once to Launch National Tour
May 7th, 2012 | By Broadway.com Staff
The Broadway musical Once, which just earned 11 Tony Award nominations, will launch a national tour in 2013. Once opened on March 18 at the Jacobs Theatre, after a successful off-Broadway run at New York Theatre Workshop. Dates and cities for the national tour have yet to be announced.
Stars Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti and cast member Elizabeth A. Davis all earned Tony nods, with the show nominated for Best Musical as well. Featuring a score by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (who won Academy Awards for the Once song "Falling Slowly") the show is set on the streets of Dublin. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and artistic collaboration between a street musician (Kazee) and a Czech immigrant (Milioti) quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story.
Once features a book by award-winning Irish playwright and screenwriter Enda Walsh, direction by John Tiffany, movement by Steven Hoggett and music supervision and orchestrations by Martin Lowe, all of whom are now 2012 Tony nominees.

An excited next door neighbor told me of a local store that was selling this Gardena sprinkler. He also told me that "this is the best sprinkler I have ever Owned". I ran out and bought one immediately because I use several sprinklers, which are connected to the water discharge hose of my geo-thermal heat pump/air conditioner 24 hours each day. That was over a year ago. I am now placing an order for the second Gardena sprinkler because it "IS" the best sprinkler "I" have ever owned!
I don't do a lot of overhead watering. The various beds around my yard all have soaker hoses or drip irrigation. That leaves the lawn.
My lot is an odd-sized lot to begin with, and after you toss in the house, the driveway, paths, patios, trees and beds, what's left is very oddly shapped. I thought about installing an underground system with many little heads all designed to fit in the little nooks and cranies, but I really don't water the lawn often enough to make it worth it.
On the other hand, I've gone through a lot of different sprinklers. I've had the cheap "dial-a-pattern" type. I've had the red square thing. I've had the rotating spray type. And I've had more than one oscillating sprinkler. The oscillators tended to breakdown the fastest, and that's why I was hessitating spending so much money on another one.
But this one is different. The design and constrution are such that I don't anticipate it locking-up as the typical oscillating sprinkler does. It also has more controls than you can imagine. You can adjust the width, height, and angle. And you can turn-off the water before it rains down on you! All your adjustments can be made at the sprikler without having to adjust the flow at the faucet.
The biggest obstical Gardena must be facing is convincing people to spend so much on a oscillating sprinkler. But I have to say that while I had my doubts, I think it's a great investment.
This sprinkler covers a fairly large area, is easily adjusted for width and range, and is well built. I've used one for a few seasons, and am ordering another. It does not leak, and has never clogged. It also has a very stable sled base.
It's especially useful for watering long, narrow side lots, or a row of planting beds. It's about two or three times the price of most oscillating sprinklers you'll find at the home center, but you get what you pay for. Gardena makes very high quality sprinklers.
First one I purchased is on it's 3rd year with no problems. Any other sprinkler I've ever had lasts about one season & either the holes clog or it stops the back & forth movement.
Aqua Zoom 350 has a reliable timer (saving on my ever increasing water bill) and more settings so I can focus on what I want to water- less running down the ditches.
Have recently purchased another one .. only because I have a really big yard.
best sprinkler I have ever used.
I have been looking for this sprinkler all my life - one that really works. We have iron in our water and, in fact, this is the 3rd year this sprinkler is still going strong. Great features: ease of use to set up sprinkling pattern, also small half-dials both sides of sprinkler to monitor sprinkle width. It had gotten clogged this summer, took off hose and pulled out debris which had stayed directly in front in-reach. Sprinkling holes never get clogged. I want another! I found it!
I loved the item when I received it as a father's day gift. When I was ill a young man mowing my lawn broke the connector (a Beige piece right by the timer) that connects the sprinkler to the hose. I would like to replace the broken part but I have none of the information that came with the product. I am not only interested in replacing the part but if I can find a way to maintain the product I would be interested in purchasing another. I also cannot find a retailer who carries the product in my area.
I loved this sprinkler while it worked. It is extremely adjustable. The problem is that the connection breaks off the timer and renders the thing useless. Enjoy but be very gentle.
Great sprinkler, when it works.
I bought one of these units and really liked it when I started using it. Set it all up and went away thinking all would be well until the timer expired. However, looking out the window a half hour later, the unit was stuck at one end. I went out and nudged it and it started again. Stuck again within 5 minutes. I've repeated this several times including adjusting the fan and the rake. Keeps getting stuck. I then bought one of those faucet pressure meters and I have about 55 pounds so pressure is not the problem.
I just love this timer. It's the only manual timer I've found that actually works, and using it to water my large garden with soaker hoses is the ideal way to keep everything from getting thirsty while conserving water at the same time and watering in the best way for plants to boot!!!
I've tried several timers, and this one is the best. I won't buy anything else!
I live in the country and have a water well. I live in a sandy area and my well puts out a sand residue. This has froze up all previous timers I have purchased. Since this one works off a spring it has not failed me yet. I water about 20,000 sq feet. I can finally set my timer and not come back or wack up and find that the timer has frozen up and watered all day or night!!!!! Now if only I can could find a sprinkler that would last as long.
Did you ever turn the hose on to water the lawn and have it stay on all night because you forgot to turn it off? Never again with this great accessory.
I've been using Gardena water timers(model 31169-4) for years and although there is not much difference in the price there sure is a big difference in the Quality. The really tough older models were manufactured in Germany and the clocks went forever. I ordered some new ones through Amazon and one is already KAPUT! It just doesn't shut off! Before you pay $25 for one of these timers check out other brands...It wouldn't surprise me if Gardena moved its manufacturing to China and this is the result.
A much better water timer.
I'm here after failing to find another Gardena Grande locally. I've own two of these: one I've had for about 13 years (it's pretty much toast, but what do you expect from a plastic sprinkler?), and the other one for about 7 or 8 years. Despite the comments of others, I've found this sprinkler's durability to be one of its best assets. In my experience, if these sprinklers stop oscillating, it's because they've been stepped on - that bends the aluminum tube skids that connect both ends and can pinch the middle part to keep it from oscillating. Carefully straighten them out again, and it should work fine.
I've tried various others, including Melnors and Craftsman sprinklers that cost much more, but this is by far the most versatile and useful sprinkler I've ever owned. There's nothing that rivals the ease and flexibility of Gardena's tab system for adjusting the width of the sweep on the fly - if there was just a way to locally control the flow (and thus the length of the sweep), it would be perfect.
I'm puzzled by several other reviewers that say thiers stoppped oscillating shortly after purchase. Maybe they've changed the design, or maybe I'm just lucky (with sprinklers, anyway...), but I've certainly not treated mine with kid gloves, and they've been working fine for years. Occasional sticking is the reason I need a new one to replace my oldest one, but, heck, the thing has lived 13 years in the Texas sun: The adjusting rings are a pale coral now, and the plastic is starting to flake off all over - it's even outlived two or three Gardena quick-connects and half a dozen o-rings. I've certainly gotten my money's worth - Highly recommended.
I have used one of these little Gardena sprinklers for 15 years and found it reliable and easy to set for the area I wanted to water. It doesn't puddle and leak as so many oscillating sprinklers do. It is easy to set the spray to water small, narrow spaces, such as our 10' wide side yard without over-spray onto our neighbor's car or into our windows. I would recommend it to anyone who wants precise watering without waste.
The sprinkler performed excellent however stopped functioning three months into service - frustrated I disposed of it.
I add my disappointment to those others who have complained that the OSCILLATOR quit after a few uses. This happened to me after two or three weeks. I have a Gardena sprinkler that I've had for almost 8 years, so I was a Gardena fan before I bought this one.
The best sprinker - PERIOD!
Best sprinkler I've ever had!
Living in Texas is testament to tough weather conditions. Sprinklers don't hold up well under intense heat and the soil is extremely hard in areas such as mine.
These Gardena sprinklers have held up better than any I've owned. They survive the heat. They survive the cold. I have left mine outside year round and they have not fallen apart like so many other brands of sprinklers I've owned.
I especially like the gear driven mechanism. It performs smoothly, does not stall under windy conditions and is very easy to adjust. I owned another brand that broke immediately when I accidently turned the adjustment knobs the wrong way. Unlike a pulsing sprinkler, the smooth stream of water is less likely to dissipate in windy conditions. Another great feature is the sprinkler will operate under lower water pressure conditions which makes it easy to water small areas.
I purchased this product in the early Spring to help water a newly seeded lawn which I wanted to water 4 times daily on hot days.
It was very simple to program and the flexibility of the 6 schedules allowed me to grow the best lawn I have ever had. I strongly recommend the product!
We have a large heavily shaded yard that requires considerable watering over the summer. We have three of these computers running with multiple water lines feeding out from each. This is a terffic idea if you have a lot of regular watering to do -- and, it really saves you loads of time. Unfortunately, for two of the past three years we've had to replace at least two computers. In fact, we're ordering two water computers today. I just wish they built them to stand up for more than a year or two.
The Gardena Water Computer is an astonishingly convoluted device that performs an otherwise simple task. The programming methods seem to best serve the engineering requirements of Gardena and not typical home gardeners. The English section of the instructions were likely not written by a native English speaker - making deployment of the timer ever more complicated. After several attempts that consumer several precious weekend hours I was finally able to link the computer with a Gardena Rain Sensor and a Gardena Water Distributor. Overall, it simply was not worth my time, and because of Amazon's requirement that a product must be unused to be returned, I have to live with it.
This is my second Gardena automatic watering system - comprising the Water computer and the water distributor. They are simple to install and program and are really a set-and-forget solution to watering your garden.
This sprinkler would easily be a 5 if it were built better. The only metal component is the spike itself, all other parts are plastic. I have hard soil in parts of my yard that make it difficult to sink the spike deep enough for proper performance. This sprinkler did not last a full season without cracking at the point where the spike and plastic meet due to the force required to bury the spike and the weak plastic neck. An overwhelming positive attribute - It is incredibly nice to be able to water in peace and quiet. I will reluctantly keep buying them for that reason alone.
I need to divide this review into two parts-one for delivery and delivery condition. One for actual performance of sprinkler.
First, I ordered two sprinklers at the same time and received two separate shipments a couple of days apart. The second shipment contained a deeffective sprinkler: one of the plastic adjusting rings was cracked. I'm told a replacement is on back-order.
As for the performance of the unit, its actually quite good. It seems to provide a more even coverage pattern than the typical impact sprinkler and its operation is A LOT smoother- no THWACK THWACK THWACK noise-just a continous kind of whirring noise.
I'll reserve judgement till I get both units in the ground and operating. But so far, this unit is slightly superior to the impact model.
I love this sprinkler, but it broke less than a year after buying it. Not sure if I want to purchase another.
It's a very good sprinkler with two area working mechanism. You can regulate it to work from 25 degree until full circle. Very robust and quiet.
Best Sprinkler available anywhere !
I have used this sprinkler for several years and it was my absolute favorite - it is quiet and doesn't have that annoying sound that most sprinklers have. And it doesn't pool water at its base either.
This timer works great - the hard part was figuring out how to program it. It took awhile to figure it out - it is not at all intuitive - but finally got it going. And it has worked great with my drip irrigation system for my hanging plants. I waste much less water than watering by hand and don't have to hand-water every day.
Works like a champ for me!
Having owned other timers that did not work, this one has done the job for me. I use two of them for drip irrigation and watering potted plants during the March to September growing season. The timer is easy to program. It can be temporarily bypassed or turned off without changing the timer settings. I change the batteries in the Spring and that's it!
With all the trouble everyone else is reporting, I've owned mine for three years and never had a problem with it (except that it likes batteries... it gets a new one about every two months). Mine works great... sorry everyone else is having trouble.
I purchased two of these units from Home Depot a couple of days ago. Considering appearance, features and ease of programming, the unit seemed the ideal choice. After trying for over two hours to get them to work, I was unsuccessful. I finally went online to seek help and discovered that my experience is not unique. Do not waste your time on this product.
Arrgghhhh, why do companies sell products that don't work!
I have 4 of these and two have already broken. I bought them hoping they would be better than Melnor's previous model (bigger, rectangular looking green thing) which all four broke within a year.
NOTE, I take very good care of all of my tools. Change batteries, bring in during the winter, etc. This is a quality problem, not a user problem.
I have lost plants and wasted a ton of time messing with these things, changing batteries, looking for receipts, etc.
MELNOR, shame on you. This is irresponsible and you should recall and apologize for not doing your job (testing a product).
I've been through several cheapies and finaly purchased this one. I've had it for about a year now and really like how easy it is to use. There are several spray patterns but my favorite feature would have to be the yellow adjusters to limit the range of motion.

Sprinkler froze up on third use.
My wife bought me this sprinkler on Father's day - initially it worked great but on the third use the sprinkler head froze in place and would no longer rotate. No attempt to free it worked. Save your money and keep your blood pressure down and buy a different brand.
I have 8 timers working on our property and I am starting to convert to Gardena T-1030 for replacement. I have one working now and it has been functioning for close to a year.
Down here in the tropics, a well designed and constructed piece of equipment is importand to withstand the UV rays and the weather. This product fits that requirement.
I own about 20 of the 31805-4 and 31820-4 Gardena timers. All of them have worked for at least 12 months, but many have failed within 24 months. I don't like having to buy more of them, but there's really nothing else available. One additional "problem" with the 31820-4 is that when you choose longer watering times you must also choose longer periods between waterings and when you choose shorter watering times you must also choose shorter periods between waterings--in other words you can't choose short waterings with long periods between.
Grande, must have used it for at least ten years. Best luck I've had with sprinklers.
I owned a Gardena sprinkler which lasted over 10 years, so when it finally died I ordered this one.......not once, but twice!! In both cases, the sprinkler got stuck (would not oscillate), and not all of the nozzles worked/sprayed. Very disappointing.
No excess, does its job well.
Well thought-out design. Lightweight, simple to adjust, connections don't leak, keeps oscillating even without much water flow, can water small and large areas. The only thing not to like about this is that it doesn't have a timer.
During a typical dry Oregon summer, the flow rate from our well will often drop below 5 gallons/minute. As a result, we needed a sprinkler that we could continue to oscillate at a low flow rate (to not stress the well, the faucet might be barely turned on with the water was coming up from the sprinkler only about 3 feet). In addition the sprinker needed an adjustable watering pattern so we could fit the pattern to the part of the yard we were watering.
This sprinkler is great - it has never gotten "stuck" in one position, even at low flow rates, and it is easily adjustable to fit different sized areas.

Q: Check if directory exists and Permissions I am trying to write a code to create a file in particular directory.
Although I am able to manage the code to check for file existence and also creating the directory if not exists but how to check if I have the permission to create the directory and/or file at specified place.

A: Well try creating the directory or the file and if you don't have permission an exception would be thrown which you can catch and do as needed.
try
{
 // code to create directory or file
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
  // do something here
}

A: The easiest way is to try to write to it.  You'll get an exception if it's not writable by the current user.
That being said, you should be able to check to see if you can write to a folder like so:
string directoryName = GetTheDirectory();

PermissionSet permissionSet = new PermissionSet(PermissionState.None);

FileIOPermission writePermission = new FileIOPermission(FileIOPermissionAccess.Write, directoryName);

permissionSet.AddPermission(writePermission);

if (permissionSet.IsSubsetOf(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.PermissionSet))
{
   // You have write permissions
}
else
{
   // You don't have write permissions
}

Home Projects The Loneliness Campaign North Yorkshire
Youth Loneliness
Stand up to Youth Loneliness
Recent research conducted by The Co-op Foundation suggests that 76% of young people felt lonely at least occasionally during lockdown, compared to 59% before restrictions began.
Yet many young people experiencing loneliness struggle to ask for help, with only 36% feeling confident to talk about their feelings. While many do not know where to go for support, the large silence surrounding the topic suggests that tackling stigma is critical in supporting them to seek help.
Our youth loneliness campaign, Stand Up To Youth Loneliness, created in consultation with young people from across the county, seeks to highlight the issues surrounding the social isolation that affects young people and encourage conversations about loneliness, so that this stigma is reduced. It is aimed at young people aged 11 – 18. This campaign includes signposting to resources that can support young people.
The campaign content can be downloaded using the links below or, to request hard copies of materials, get in touch with tlc@communityfirstyorkshire.org.uk. The campaign pack includes:
A series of 4 posters highlighting some of the issues around loneliness:
poster 1 for young people who feel different at school
poster 2 for young people who don't feel they fit in
poster 3 for young carers
poster 4 for young people with a disability
An accompanying flyer with information about loneliness and signposts young people to The Go-To
A resource pack for professionals, providing more detailed information, links to further resources and an example lesson plan.
All these resources direct young people to the dedicated loneliness page on The Go-To, a website managed by NHS North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, on behalf of local authorities supporting wellbeing and mental health for young people in the county.
The resources include information on the Lonely Not Alone campaign, the #LetsTalkLoneliness video from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and links to the Youth Isolation toolkit by Neighbourhood Watch.
Let's Stand Up To Youth Loneliness and tackle youth loneliness across North Yorkshire together.

any ideas what could be wrong?

A: Are you sure that the deployment target for the extension is less than or equal to the system version of the device?


Conflicts between national transport strategy and regional needs must be solved to stimulate regeneration in the West Midlands, reports Ian Lawrence.
Its geographic position places the West Midlands at the centre of the UK transport network. But do routes benefit the region, which the locals say is desperate for investment and regeneration, or simply run through it?
National and regional priorities for road, rail and housing do not always match, according to Birmingham City Council assistant director of development strategy David Bull.
'There's a major concern that there's a conflict between development of local and national services. We would like to see investment focused in the West Midlands, not on systems and measures to take people out.' West Midlands Regional Assembly strategic adviser for transport Danny Lamb offers as an illustration Warwick Parkway, a new commuter station privately built by Chiltern Railways in 2000. 'It is a great example of how an area can get investment, ' he says.
'But as people can move in two directions then it allows them to get to London.' Tensions also exist over rail targets. Head of transport planning for the assembly Graeme Fitton says: 'We would like to get more people on trains within the county but the problem is that rail targets are all based around passenger miles. If you get one passenger going from London to Glasgow you've got 400 miles in one go. It doesn't favour smaller commuter lines.
The West Coast Main Line has made it more difficult to attract investment in local trains.' Elsewhere in the West Midlands capacity is strained.
Birmingham New Street station is used by 36M passengers a year and desperately needs redevelopment, says ICE West Midlands regional manager Steve Feeley. 'There has to be a commitment to it. There have been closures there due to overcrowding. Redevelopment needs strong leadership, a concerted effort and serious investment.' The West Midlands transport network also faces pressures from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's housebuilding proposals. Land to the south, around Milton Keynes, has been identified as a key growth area, with 211,000 new homes planned by 2021.
Lamb highlights potential difficulties: 'Both the West Midlands and the growth areas will need transport investment, possibly at odds with each other.
'If we have hundreds of thousands of people living on the doorstep then that will obviously put pressure on the motorway and rail network.
There's an opportunity for them to travel abroad from Birmingham International Airport. They will be using the transport network in the West Midlands to get there.' Demand is likely to favour investment in road schemes that enhance movements to and from the West Midlands, not journeys within the region. Lamb says the M6 toll exemplifies regional transport planners' concerns, delivering little benefit to the inhabitants of the West Midlands, merely speeding trips from north to south.
'We would like to see a better understanding of what the M6 toll is doing in terms of people's decision to invest and provide jobs, ' Lamb says: 'If it's having benefits other than reducing journey times then let's hear about them.' Widening the M6 between junctions 11A and 19, north of Walsall to Knutsford in Cheshire, features in the region's transport delivery plan. But this has been thrown into doubt by Alistair Darling's apparent preference for the M6 expressway.
The M6 toll does have its fans however: 'In Warwickshire there has been a 30% reduction in HGV traffic and 9% in total. The benefits have been particularly substantial in the north of the county, ' says Fitton. And he is encouraged by the appearance of business parks along the route.
But Bull says a far more defined strategy is needed to stimulate regeneration in the region. 'We don't want a lack of investment in the future to impair regeneration and therefore we need strong forward planning to safeguard the development of the hightech A38 corridor, Longbridge and the airport. We need the infrastructure investment to go with that.' Lamb is keen to see the government's planned national spatial strategy set the regions a clear framework within which to work.


Michelle Obama has a singular, vibrant sense of style and a cozy relationship with the fashion industry. That's common knowledge. The First Lady, widely regarded as a style icon, has the ability to make a designer a household name or boost a brand's sales, and she has wielded her power judiciously: Mobama's high-low wardrobe mixes off-the-rack items with custom pieces designed by America's best young designers.
We don't elect our First Ladies or pay them any kind of salary, but being the President's partner is a de facto job. For example, we expect the First Lady to participate in affairs of state — at the very least, by attending high-level public and diplomatic events. To that end, Mrs. Obama's carefully chosen wardrobe is as much a job requirement as it is a form of personal expression.
So who pays for her clothes? Did we, the taxpayers, subsidize Mrs. Obama's two Jason Wu inaugural gowns? What about the Naeem Khan dress the First Lady wore to the recent opening of the Metropolitan Museum's new Anna Wintour Costume Institute?
"Laura Bush, in her memoir, said she was 'amazed by the sheer number of designer clothes that I was expected to buy' as first lady."
How does Mrs. Obama, a fashion icon with far more expensive tastes than Mrs. Bush, swing it? For starters, the Obamas reported adjusted income of $481,000 last year, and assets worth $1.8 million to $7 million. And like most people, Mrs. Obama (mostly her personal aide, really) looks for discounts.
"Mrs. Obama pays for her clothing. For official events of public or historic significance, such as a state visit, the first lady's clothes may be given as a gift by a designer and accepted on behalf of the U.S. government. They are then stored by the National Archives." For example, Michelle Obama's first inaugural gown was presented to the Smithsonian, where it is listed "gift of Jason Wu in honor of First Lady."

last weekend when she was here for our family Christmas. Oh well. Same old, same old. I'll go have some fudge pie and ice cream!
Thanks for the reblog and also for the scriptural backups. You are on the front lines with the Fat Beggars School of Prophets. Do you mind telling me where you minister on the streets?
Yes, Ma'am. Thanx for asking.
I am a street/homeless minister in Lubbock, TX. However, I rarely hit the streets these days. Always looking for the opportunity to get back, I went to work in law enforcement recently, and that curbed my access (I know that sounds strange, but its complicated) and now days my wife and I keep foster kids (homeless, but not street-homeless).
That said, I loved your post. It reflected so much of what the Fat Beggars blog is all about that I wanted to align us with it. Thanx so much for publishing that. It is an important message to get out there. I truly hope readers find it, find conviction from it, and imagine the world differently with God's imagination!
Thanks. I'm in Tennessee since since shortly after marrying fifty-eight years ago, but lived in Houston through high school and college and one year of marriage. Shall follow your blog and pass it on. Also will keep the ministry in my prayers.
Hugs. So happy you get it. Going to write something for Gideon soon, but will run it by you before giving it to him.
I'm sure he'd be honored! Love you, too.
Thank you. And Christmas wishes to you also, Melanie. Hope it is a wonderful one for you and your family.
Thanx so much for visiting and responding! Thanx for asking such important questions! Thanx for taking this stuff seriously!
I have no doubt you are in over your head. The moment you decided to care, really care, you already were in deep over your heard! This is something you find out as you go, and it is so disheartening that people often get back out quickly, or even more than that, don't bother to begin with. So, THANX!!!
I will offer thoughts here that will not be complete answers, but they go in two distinct directions and hopefully will help.
To begin with, this is where the task gets soooooo daunting. And as soon as you finally get all the ducks in a row, you will find that the homeless themselves will not respond for whatever reasons… Please don't get spiteful, even if you get angry. This is normal, and plenty of folk will discourage you for enduring it.
I am not a logistics guy. I will point you to at least one person I think can give you some real insight, but this person will not speak FOR me. I am not cut from that cloth, nor do I see it as the better angle to work, but MOST folk in the field do, so I am in the minority on this.
Tell her I sent you. The respect is mutual! She will be glad to share, I am sure. If she does not, or if you want more, let me know, I can put you in touch with others.
I am not a practitioner of HOUSING FIRST, nor am I uncritical of the method, but I find it somewhat of a "close second" and it seems to offer surprisingly important results. HOUSING FIRST seems to have started in Utah, as best I can tell, and you can google it and find a lot more on it. But basically, the state of Utah got to adding up the amount of cost to the public for having humans wasting away in addiction, illness and whatnot. They measured the cost in hospital bills, court costs, jail housing and all that. A common cold for a person on the streets gets treated in the ER, and often leads to hospitalization, public intoxication leads to two weeks in jail, plus court costs etc… It only takes about one or two days of either of those costs to exceed the cost of having the government just put these people up in an apartment.
Housing First was initially, and largely still is, concerned with SAVING MONEY, which it does! The extraordinary finding in this though is that even when they started housing the worst of the worst, the total junkies and winos who were costing the system the most, suddenly a LOT (not all, but a LOT) of these people showed signs of tremendous life changes. Their lives began taking root when they found themselves HOUSED. Suddenly it was not just a cost saving measure, but a life giving measure! And this is, and has been, deeply counter-intuitive since stuff like JOB TRAINing and Addiction Management has for soooooo long been viewed as necessary prerequisite to HELPING the homeless.
So, I strongly urge you to research "HOUSING FIRST". That is the term they use for it.
Now… to the thing I AM ALL ABOUT.
I am a Christian minister. At one level it appears that I am into homeless ministry, which is true, but not really the core of it. I actually am a community minister who sees God among the poor and homeless and as long as they are not in church, I see the community as lacking God in church.
This looks all theological, which it is, but that suddenly sounds impractical, which it's not. We live in God's creation, theology is practical in HIS world.
I recognize that there are logistics involved, some of which deal with mental illness, war related PTSD, and so forth. Some tramps, that is what they call themselves (at least the older ones) will not accept your invitation even if you put a cherry on top. There are ways to mitigate this, and that should be done to the extent we can. We had a guy freeze to death in a blizzard here in Lubbock last winter even after he refused the cops urging him to take shelter AND they would give him a ride there! However, having worked in a psych ward, I recognize that was cause to do an emergency detention, and sometimes cops don't recognize that. Anyway, the poor man froze to death in a miserable way, even though it was his choice, he should not have been allowed it.
I tell that story to demonstrate the complications get to that level. I have ideas about addressing such things, but at root, I think it is important for CHURCHES especially, and individual Christian homes in general to seek out hosting these people and incorporating them into the family at that brother sister level. I am not stupid. I know that does not happen over night or just for the asking, but I insist it can be done and if we really want to be the hands and feet of JESUS we MUST start figuring that out.
NO human being should be homeless. Our culture is sick. The CHURCH holds the cure, but the church cannot afford to think we can just go with the flow of the culture ANYMORE in order to begin the process of healing.
Just consider the agriculture of American life even 150 years ago. No. I don't idolize either that time or place, but it certainly was a lot closer to God and to providing a sense of HOME and FAMILY than this consumer-driven, divorce-ridden culture we currently have!
Anyway, that is pretty much my two bits. And I maximize on the second one far more than the first. However, I don't really expect you to see these things the way I do, and besides, the HOUSING FIRST is making a difference, if not THE difference. Even a difference is worth noting!
I hope this helps. I look forward to further contact if I can be of assistance. And again, I THANK YOU for caring and asking!!!
that lots of churches are mostly filled with "church goers" not necessarily people totally committed to God and in a relationship with Christ.
However, I have been surprised at how many churches are trying to help and how small some are. One tiny Episcopal church feeds 100 people one day every week. That counts the shut ins living in the projects that they take the food to them.
All I was trying to do was to gather and distribute information in the hopes that people would coordinate their efforts. Some God coincidences got me involved and I haven't managed much, but hope to have time and health to do more now.
I'm 79 and my husband has a progressive and incurable disease. He is still working as an architect from home, but has intermittent times when he can't work and needs me. So, I am mostly limited to phone calls and writing. But, I am going to keep plugging away, so I appreciate your help. You gave me lots to research that I didn't know about.
Reposted at Jesus House Western Maryland (facebook). Christmas blessings to you.
Some of the comments on this led to a lot of learning about ministry to the homeless. Still feel God is calling me to some sort of connection to this ministry, but not now with Julian so sick.


This coming Thursday I will be 8 weeks. Last Wednesday right about 7 weeks I had blood work done and today they called and said my progesterone was 8.3 which is low. The day after blood work I had an ultrasound and saw baby and strong heartbeat of 142 Bpm. I had a cyst on my left ovary they need to watch....could the cyst be why my progesterone was low? They are Rec a prometrium supplement but I am hesitant....I don't like taking anything when preggo (this is baby #4). With my first son I had low progesterone too (either 7 or 11 I can't remember exactly) and the doc said I could try prometrium and I opted not to and all was fine. With my last two I don't think it was checked so I have no idea if it was low or not. Any experiences with this?
The cyst is normal and probably is from where you ovulated.
As for the progesterone level, mine has only been tested a few times and when it was low I shortly thereafter miscarried. Mine were all tested before I had an ultrasound, though. Lots of women do prometrium so it isn't unusual to use/take it.
Right now your body is producing the progesterone so I'd personally would want to take prometrium because the baby could be fine and you could still miscarry due to low progesterone. Progesterone is what maintains the lining and prevents cramping to shed the lining. Around 12/13 weeks the placenta starts making the progesterone instead and thus the baby starts maintaining his/her cozy temporary home. That is my understanding, at least.
I had low progesterone and was put on Crinone (a progesterone cream insert) until 12 wks.
I also had low progesterone with both of my pregnancies and took progesterone vaginal suppositories until 12 weeks. I am not sure what the actual name of them were, though.
