Four-bed family home is contemporary throughout
WHEREABOUTS near here can you find an African banded mongoose, a black-tailed prairie dog or an Asian short-clawed otter?
An eight-minute drive away from Little Holme in Whitchurch, that's where. Although it is now closed for Christmas, Beale Park Wildlife Park and Gardens will reopen in February.
It is also home to some nocturnal red-necked wallabies, African spotted eagle owls and Indian blue peafowl — more commonly known as peacocks.
This charity, set in 350 acres of beautiful parkland, is committed to the conservation of endangered and rare species of mammals and birds.
There are other attractions there too, like a splash pool and adventure playgrounds, summer river cruises, nature trails and a new education facility for school visits.
Beale Park and its exotic creatures aside, Little Holme at Whitchurch is in a good location for a multitude of reasons — it is close to Reading and the M4 at Theale, and Whitchurch Primary School is a short walk away.
The property is on a quiet, highly sought after residential road, just up the road from the thriving village of Pangbourne, where there is a mainline railway station and a toll bridge across the Thames.
On the market with Warmingham at a guide price of £1,395,000, Little Holme has four bedrooms and far-reaching green views across the surrounding Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The house was only built about five years ago, so is still relatively new, and its design is contemporary throughout. The central reception hall has a cloakroom, solid oak flooring and a feature oak and glass staircase leading up to the first floor.
Off the reception hall is a room that could be used as a fourth bedroom — it has a vaulted ceiling and an eye-catchingly tall window that takes up almost an entire wall. This room is currently being used as a family room.
There is an additional room on one side of the family room / fourth bedroom, and the necessary plumbing already in place for an en suite bathroom to be added here if required.
The kitchen and living / dining room are arranged in an L shape, so it is an open-plan design with a nice flow between the rooms, with distinct areas for different day to day activities.
There is underfloor heating installed on the ground floor. The living / dining room has wooden floors and is a wonderfully bright space, with two walls of windows and bifold doors that open out on to the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with Bulthaup kitchen cabinets, it has a large breakfast bar and Miele electrical appliances, and more glass doors that open to the outside.
Beyond the kitchen is a discreet and functional area of the house — a rear hall with built-in storage space, a long utility room and doors into the double garage.
Upstairs, there is a nicely lit bedroom hallway with a big window in the roof letting in lots of natural daylight. The bedrooms and bathrooms have some sloped ceilings, which provides architectural character.
The master bedroom suite has its own private dressing area, an en suite shower room and a balcony overlooking the back garden.
There is another big bedroom with its own en suite shower room, along with a third bedroom and a family bathroom.
Outside, Little Holme is set within a large plot of professionally landscaped grounds and gardens and there are lovely views of the open countryside from both the front and the back of the house.
There is a large lawn and a covered area of decking, where you can sit outside come rain or shine, and around the plot there is fencing and hedging to ensure privacy.
The house has its own private gravelled driveway with plenty of space for parking, as well as a garage.
Little Holme is a comfortable and modern house set within a beautiful rural setting in an excellent location.

Welcome to the site of one of the most iconic southern scenes, Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens. This plantation is known to be one of America's oldest working living plantations, opened in 1681 and still going strong today. These grounds are known for their moss-draped avenue of live oaks that, after two centuries, have grown to touch. The original slave cabins owned by the McRae family are also on the property and are a significant factor in the plantation's historical significance.
In 1743 the son of Major John Boone planted the live oaks in two evenly spaced rows, providing a spectacular approach to the home as well as a grand general symbol of southern heritage. The entire Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens is comprised of 738 acres, located just eight miles from downtown Charleston in Mt Pleasant. This plantation is so popular it is considered a true "must-see stop on any trip to Charleston, South Carolina," by NBC Daytime!
Sitting on the banks of the gorgeous Wampacheone Creek, this massive home holds over 330 years of history, spanning back all the way to when the Boone family thrived here, an influential family to the history of South Carolina. On a tour of the home you will experience what plantation life was like as you tour the house, grounds, garden, butterfly pavilion, and Slave Street. Learn about the Gullah culture, as well as the day to day life and history of the people who worked and lived here. You will see the strawberries, tomatoes, and pumpkins alongside the U-Pick garden in the spots where cotton and pecans used to thrive over three centuries ago. This is a truly great opportunity to see an important piece of history, for both the state and the country, as well as admire some of the finest architecture and landscaping in the city!

Staff Consultant Tai Hayden
"This is where the strength and protection comes from," says Tai Hayden. The former Moler ES teacher has served in one leadership position after another since 2000, including the State Teachers Retirement System board (since 2006).
She almost couldn't refuse the opportunity. She had "jumped in head-first" in 1998 – her third year teaching in CCS – when tension began to brew at the school she was working. " I attended all of my district meetings and talked to my governor (Christy Maser) a lot," she said.
Two years later, John Grossman, then CEA president, walked into her classroom. "He handed me a declaration form to be an At-Large Governor." She gladly accepted it.
"I won!" she said. From there, she served on the Central OEA/NEA Executive Board and was elected a governor once more. "A significant moment that will always stick with me will be being a part of the board when we separated from Central OEA/NEA and created the Capital District," Hayden said.
She served as its vice president, and later, president.
Tai was born and raised in Columbus and graduated from Columbus Alternative High School. She has seen many changes in the school district and knows it takes a team to address them.
Tai served many years as District 7 Governor until becoming a CEA Staff Consultant in August of 2018.
Staff Consultant Cindy Love
Cindy Love's career path started when she was in high school. Her Spanish teacher at Boardman High School encouraged her to cultivate her love of the language and to share it with others. She became a Spanish teacher and taught for nearly a decade at Northland HS.
Love, a longtime classroom veteran, taught adults at the former North Education Center. She also encouraged her younger students at Champion MS and at Northland to pursue their interests beyond high school. Her teacher also recognized that Love was a natural mentor to others. So did former CEA President Rhonda Johnson, who then encouraged Cindy to represent teachers on the CEA Board of Governors.
"I have always been interested in the union," Love said. "It's all about giving teachers a voice." She became a faculty representative, and she joined the PAR program as a consultant drawing upon her master's degree in adult education and interest in strengthening the profession.
"PAR is a special program," Love said. "It's an opportunity to grow in the profession that most teachers don't get. The most important thing is making sure that every person in front of the students is a quality teacher."
Love served two terms as High School Governor-at-Large before becoming a CEA Staff Consultant in August of 2018.
Staff Consultant Teri Mullins
Teri Mullins won't soon forget the battle to save union rights and bring Senate Bill 5 down.
"I don't think I have ever witnessed a time when people came together and were so vocal about the rights of teachers and students and other labor unions," she said. "Being inside the Statehouse the day most people got locked out, then going outside to be with my building colleagues—the entire experience, although a hard battle, evoked a sense of pride in my profession and my union that still gives me goose bumps."
Mullins taught special education for 13 years, all at Wedgewood MS. She advised the STEM Club the past two years. She attended Columbus City Schools as well, including Duxberry Park ES, Franklin MS and East HS. When asked what drew her to union service, she prefers to stay positive about the disagreements that often trigger CEA representation. "Let's just say that I wanted to make sure that everyone had help having their voices heard."
Teri found ways to get involved. She was an OEA delegate and an alternate building FR. She ran for District 6 Governor in 2008 and won. She then served on the bargaining team and the Reform Panel. We are pleased to have Teri on board as a CEA Staff Consultant. Her vast experience will serve the membership well.
Election Chair Brittany Herb
Brittany Herb had a very unconventional approach to leadership in CEA. In 2016, she was in her eighth year teaching and decided to complete the Teacher Leadership Institute (TLI) program offered through NEA. While participating in this course, she realized a harsh reality: new teachers were leaving the profession at record numbers. With the support of CEA, she was able to create a committee to help retain new educators in our district called Columbus Early Career Educators (CECE). They can be found around Columbus the last Friday of every month to offer an opportunity for educators to collaborate with other educators in years 0-10 of experience, open to all CEA members.
Throughout Brittany's career, CEA has consistently acted in her best interest. They have supported her with disgruntled administrators on multiple occasions, as well as, in creating CECE. Brittany has marched at the State House, supported those speaking against SB 5, and spoke to city council about the importance of social emotional learning in CCS, especially after the Pandemic.
Brittany is passionate about being an educator in Columbus and is eager to create change in our broken system. She serves as our Elections Chair and has taught at Johnson Park, Sherwood, Woodward Park, Ecole Kenwood, Monroe, Buckeye, CCPSG, and Starling (she was staff reduced 4 times) but most recently she will be one of our negotiated SEL positions at Highland and Sullivant. She welcomes your questions about NEA, OEA, and CEA elections.

Prevalence of albuminuria and cardiovascular risk profile in a referred cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes: an Asian perspective
Diabetes Technol Ther. 2008 Oct;10(5):397-403. doi: 10.1089/dia.2007.0296.

DOI: 10.1089/dia.2007.0296
Background: Microalbuminuria (MA) is a risk marker for diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of albuminuria, CV risk factors, and treatments for renal and CV protection in an Asian population with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted in eight Asian countries enrolled normotensive/hypertensive adults with type 2 diabetes without known proteinuria and/or non-diabetic kidney disease. Exclusion criteria were type 1 diabetes, menstruation, pregnancy, and acute fever. A single random urinary albumin/creatinine test was carried out in all patients.
Results: Of 8,561 patients, 14% had diabetic retinopathy, and 17% and 21% had history of CV disease and smoking, respectively. Normoalbuminuria was seen in 44%, MA in 44%, and macroalbuminuria in 12%. Target glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (<7%) was reached in only 37% of 3,834 patients with available values. Diabetes was managed by diet alone in 6%, while others received oral hypoglycemic drugs and/or insulin. In total, 75% did not reach target blood pressure (BP) of <or=130/80 mm Hg. Antihypertensive drugs were prescribed to 52%, with the number of drugs increasing as the level of systolic BP increased. Drugs blocking the renin-angiotensin system were most commonly prescribed, followed by calcium channel blockers. Lipid-lowering drugs and anticoagulant/antiplatelet agents were used in about 30% and 25% of patients, respectively.
Conclusions: Asian patients with type 2 diabetes had a high prevalence of MA and reduced kidney function. Furthermore, BP and HbA1c control was only achieved in a minority of patients. Aggressive risk management by administration of reno- and cardioprotective treatments is urgently needed.

After my post was shared across Facebook and Twitter (I am assuming it found its way over to them), they finally decided to respond. If you tuned into Part one of this charade, I would hope you have not been holding your breath for a logical answer, because one I did not get. Let's go through them and distill the stupid.


Lakewood is a city of over 58,000 people, making it the 17th largest in Washington state. Located in Pierce County, it is centrally located between Seattle-Tacoma and the state capital of Olympia. Once a comunity of Tacoma, the city has a distinct mix of urban and suburban living areas; homes for sale here may be older than the average home in Washington, but commute times are quite low for the area at just 24 minutes. Living up to its name, many homes or condos for sale in Lakewood may offer residents a waterfront view of one of its many lakes or the Puget Sound.
The city is well known for Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a major West Coast Army-Air Force base; Fort Steilacoom Park which features a large off-leash dog park, children's playgrounds, athletic fields, and a living history museum; and Lakewold Gardens, a popular tourist attraction. Lakewood is also known locally for its lake fishing, especially in larger lakes such as American Lake, Lake Steilacoom, and Gravelly Lake.

Wynonna Earp Postmortem: Emily Andras Talks "Everybody Knows"
Posted by Bridget Liszewski on July 21, 2017 January 17, 2023
*** This article contains major spoilers for the Wynonna Earp Season 2 episode "Everybody Knows"***
Sometimes the best thing to do when you're feeling down in life is to have a really good laugh. That's what this week's episode of Wynonna Earp felt like in many ways. After ending last week on one of the most emotional Earp sisters moments yet, Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano) and the gang delivered plenty of laughs this week thanks to a fun new location, a little alcohol and an accidental curse. Yes, "Everybody Knows," written by Brendon Yorke and directed by Paolo Barzman, had plenty of laughs to go around, while also delivering some very emotionally powerful statements along the way.
Wynonna hit the road to Pussy Willows, a local strip club, with Nicole (Katherine Barrell) in tow to find Jonas (Mark Ghanimé), who she suspected of possibly being her baby's father. However, things didn't go as planned when he turned out to be a revenant she had to put down, leaving many questions in her wake. Determined to raise the baby as an Earp, Wynonna was also surprised to hear Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley) say she herself may not be one after all.
Elsewhere, Doc (Tim Rozon) felt the effects of the Stone Witch's death when legendary U.S. Marshall Bass Reeves (Adrian Holmes, 19-2) attempted to arrest him. Thankfully, Dolls (Shamier Anderson) stepped in and saved him, only after an errant binding curse from Jeremy (Varun Saranga) led to some top shelf comedic antics for the Wynonna Earp men. To break everything down from this laugh-packed episode, Wynonna Earp showrunner Emily Andras once again joins us for her weekly chat.
The TV Junkies: Didn't we agree to stop ending episodes on big Earp sisters moments that make us feel so much?
Emily Andras: WE never agreed to that! We never agreed to that and I just don't think you should count on there not being any more. Sometimes they'll be in the middle, or the beginning of the episode, but there's always going to be one. When you've got gold you just use the gold.
TTVJ: So like we touched on last week, I'm glad to see some of these secrets getting out there and discussed. That being said, what does Waverly telling Wynonna she's not sure she's an Earp mean for them?
EA: They are closer than they've ever been. I thought it was really interesting and it felt like Waverly couldn't hold onto this by herself anymore and she needed help. There's been so much craziness lately that that story for Waverly had been put on the backburner, but with this new Earp coming into the world, it felt natural that Waverly couldn't keep this a secret anymore. Where the girls take it from here is anybody's guess. Not me, I know what happens, but anybody else.
TTVJ: We have another week and we're still not quite sure who the father of Wynonna's baby is, but we did meet one possibility this week. Jonas really gave Tucker a run for his money on being THE WORST.
EA: He's THE WORST, right? He's so sleazy and the worst, but I love how Wynonna is just over it. She's just like 'you don't get to be a part of this.' I mean she tried to be like 'maybe I need to do the right thing here,' but it's too bad because I like Mark Ghanimé. This is also tied with 208 for the coldest episode of the year, so everyone was about to die when they were filming outside. Thank you to the actors for even acting because it was so cold.
We figured out when we did the timeline that Wynonna would've had to gotten pregnant in the first season. It felt natural for us to look at that time period when she was at her lowest last year, which is after she had taken care of the Seven and been taken hostage in Episode 108. It felt like a little bit of a cheat because it was a flashback to something we hadn't seen, but I also felt like it was earned because yes, I bought that Wynonna went home that night, wasn't done drinking, tried to drown her sorrows and did something to try to make herself feel better. That something was Jonas, who just happened to be a revenant.
So we still don't know who the father is, yet. In one corner, we have Doc who is so supportive and willing to go on board. In the other we have Jonas, a revenant who is incredibly bad news. So Wynonna makes the most Wynonna choice of all, and will raise this baby with Waverly.
TTVJ: Yes, but I'm still so worried! It's not like they have great examples of parents to go by.
EA: Exactly, and also she has a hell of a job, Bridget. There's a new danger, right? Now we're bringing the revenants back on stage, and what happens if they find out there's a new imminent Earp heir that's going to be born? These are all things that should make you worried, and they should make you bite your nails.
TTVJ: I was kind of glad to see the revenants back this week. I know them.
EA: They are always around. We are at midseason now so we're circling back to the Earp curse, and we're going to tie some stuff in a bow for you, Bridget. We're going to rip the package apart in other ways. Yea, good old revenants! Remember good old red eyes? Remember shooting with Peacemaker and getting sucked to hell? Oh, we were so young and innocent then!
TTVJ: Can I also say that the line Jonas says, about Wynonna being a whore who defeated herself by letting them inside her, made me so angry! I was just so mad.
EA: He's the worst, but the thing I think that's interesting is that we also see the strength that Wynonna has gained in the last year that we've known her. She knows she's being baited with that line and she's bored with it. There's nothing that anyone can say to Wynonna that she hasn't already said or thought to herself. She now has found worth in what she does, the choices she makes, and the family she is creating around her, as unconventional as that may be. So even though he's awful, we needed him to be because we needed to earn her killing him, right? She is more immune to his scathing commentary than she was in Season 1, so there's something interesting about that, too.
TTVJ: Do you notice that these chats are turning into me just yelling at you about my feelings?
EA: I like it, too! If we get a third season, I just want you to call and make dolphin noises and I'll hang up. I will know my job is done.
TTVJ: You're like my therapist and this is our weekly session.
EA: Good! I want everyone to feel like they've had a cathartic experience on Friday night.
TTVJ: My Doc-lovin' heart has never been so happy as when we see Doc, thinking he is the father, give that speech to Wynonna about how he just wants her to be healthy and happy. How's he going to deal with this question about who the father is? Is he going to man up the way Dolls told him to do?
EA: First of all, I want to give Tim Rozon credit for that scene when he gets choked up. I think that's part of the reason that scene is so powerful. As we have heard from Melanie herself, Tim was so supportive of her with her pregnancy, both on and off screen, that I think that's probably actually what Tim feels. They were in it, it was freezing, she was really pregnant. I think he was very supportive of her, but also very protective of her. I just think that's the most amazing Tim moment, and Melanie called me and said 'this moment is incredible.'
I think Dolls is right when he says 'we need you to be the father.' It's almost not that important if he is or not, right? Everyone is going to have to bond together to help Wynonna through this. This is never going to be a conventional family setup anyways, so what Doc does next? We'll have to see. He's been through a lot, and his past sort of caught up to him in this episode in an interesting way and maybe gave him a chance, in a weird way, [to consider] how he is going to live his future. But that's not to say this issue has been settled between he and Wynonna by any means.
TTVJ: There was plenty of comedy to go around because the boys had a really great comedic plot of their own. I think I laughed out loud when Jeremy jumped on Dolls' back. Where did the idea for that subplot with them being bound together come from?
EA: Part of it was just necessity because we knew we wanted to send Wynonna and Nicole to Pussy Willows — you're welcome — and then, we knew we wanted the boys to be together. I think it was a good dramatic choice because there was obvious tension between Doc and Dolls that Jeremy was caught in the middle of. It's fun when two characters actually don't want to talk to each other about the situation, mainly that Dolls is jealous that Doc may be the father, and Doc has to get the heck away from everybody because he's being pursued by ghost assassins, as you are. It's fun to then force them to be stuck together, right? It's the worst possible thing that could happen and it's also good motivation to keep them together, even though they clearly have their own agendas at this point in time.
It was just a fun, goofy B plot way to ratchet up the comedy, but also the stakes. I really like the guys together and all that bromance stuff. I think it's really fun and I think Jeremy is such a good addition. I like that he's caught in the middle and can commentate on the situation and make judgement calls, whether they are being requested or not.
TTVJ: Jeremy was fun on the stakeout with Dolls, and it was nice to see Varun and Shamier paired together.
EA: Yeah, I thought they were really good. Once again, it's fun to kind of mix it up and put different characters together. That's one of my favorite things to do on Wynonna because the cast is so strong. I really like unusual pairings, and there's some that we haven't done yet that are coming up later in the season people can look forward to.
TTVJ: You had some fun Canadian TV talent guesting this week. I really like Adrian Holmes and Bass Reeves was a great character to bring into the fold because we got some insight into Dolls. I know he was a real person, but why did you guys want to bring that character into the show?
EA: I think it was interesting to remind ourselves that Doc Holliday was not always a good man, and not every supernatural creature we meet is a bad person. I think ultimately Bass Reeves was just doing his job which I thought was interesting. Once we knew Adrian was interested in doing the show, we did some research and we found Bass Reeves and thought it was perfect. He was like 'I just want to wear a giant mustache,' so we had the character for him.
Also, it's fun to make someone that was a U.S. Marshall, and someone who is principled and had many of the same qualities that not only Dolls had, but that Wyatt Earp had, to show that Doc was not always on that side. He was often on the wrong side of the law. But Adrian was great, he was amazing, and I wish we could bring him back. We'll see.
TTVJ: The other momentous thing that happened was that we finally went to Pussy Willows! That excursion between Nicole and Wynonna did not disappoint. Did you guys have as much fun writing those moments as it was for us to watch them get closer?
EA: I think they are really fun together and I really like Nicole going with Wynonna on this very specific, slightly embarrassing journey. I like Nicole doing things like doubling up on drinks to protect Wynonna. I feel like there was an ease to their bugging each other, teasing each other, and even their bickering that we haven't seen for awhile. Like when Wynonna steals Nicole's phone and drops it in the beer, no one is really upset about it and they are starting to sound like friends.
I'm just so happy we cleared Pussy Willows and I have that sign. It's massive and I don't know where to put it.
TTVJ: You hang it out at Christmas, right?
EA: You put it up in a child's bedroom, obviously. Exactly. Perfect. Putting it out at Christmas is pretty good, actually.
TTVJ: I know, it has the lights and everything.
EA: Perfect! A traditional Pussy Willows Christmas. I would do a Christmas special at Pussy Willows, don't even tempt me. We could set a whole series at Pussy Willows. I'm totally up for it.
TTVJ: Well, we'd have to come up with our stripper names, I suppose, since Wynonna was Aphrodite.
EA: Oh yea, exactly. Well, what's the rule? Isn't it your first pet's name and the street you grew up on? That might be porn star. Mine is Rosie Sundance which is pretty great, so good luck everybody.
TTVJ: Mine is Maggie Sheridan and that sounds more like a soap opera.
EA: Yeah, that sounds more like someone who has really big hair and shoulder pads. That could be your thing and you could be the 1980s stripper! Oh my god, this is working out great, Bridget.
TTVJ: I'll dress like Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl.
EA: Perfect and then you take off your huge blazer! Very retro! I'm excited about our supernatural strip club spinoff, Bridge.
TTVJ: It's basically writing itself.
EA: It's basically writing itself. We'll just deliver the pilot script to Syfy and they'll be like 'we didn't order this.'
TTVJ: This can be the extra web thing going on in Season 3, just like they have the Purgatory Case Files going on here in Season 2. It'll be the Season 3 bonus.
EA: I would go back to Pussy Willows in a second, and also because I just really enjoyed the actual location of Pussy Willows. It was the bar of a old hotel in Calgary so it didn't require a lot of dressing. It really looked like that and was a lot of fun.
TTVJ: Season 3!
EA: Season 3: Pussy Willows all the time.
TTVJ: Now, I know Kat Barrell has a background in comedy. Was this another instance of you knowing your actors and wanting to write to their strengths?
EA: It was, but I was still delighted with how wonderful Kat was. I really think one of the hardest things to do for actors to do is play drunk, believe it or not. It's hard to be convincing because the truth is, when you are drunk, you're trying to act like you're not drunk and keep it together. I laughed out loud when I got the dailies and I thought Kat was so funny. She and Mel together are just so delightful. She definitely exceeded my expectations when it came to the comedy, and I guess it's just another tool in her "Haught cop belt."
TTVJ: She and Mel were so great together, and Melanie with those faces! I also laughed at "Abort! Abort!" then the glance at the belly.
EA: Those jokes are the best because Mel doesn't read the scripts until read through, and when she read that joke she laughed out loud for like four minutes. It's so gratifying and you're like 'Yay! She got it,' even though she actually is that much pregnant. We definitely share the same sense of humor, which I definitely enjoy.
TTVJ: What can you preview about Episode 208?
EA: It's a little bit of a departure. It's a little more conceptual, a little more serious, but we're going to find out more about the Widows and more about the origins of the Earp curse. There may be the return of some characters that people really love to facilitate that kind of delve into the past. It's a gift to the really hardcore Earpers, answers a lot of questions, and there's stuff that happens in a different plot line that we'll definitely be hearing about on Twitter. That's all I will say about that.
What did you think of this episode? Got any predictions about Wynonna's baby? Sound off below!
Wynonna Earp airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy and Space.

Irish tourism at its most competitive in over a decade
Careers in Fáilte Ireland
As Ireland's biggest tourism trade fair nears, latest Fáilte Ireland figures show greater value for money and high satisfaction rates for destination Ireland
Top line trends from Fáilte Ireland's annual Visitor Attitudes Survey demonstrate that Ireland is providing value for money to overseas visitors at rates not seen for over a decade. The survey was conducted with 1,578 overseas visitors to Ireland throughout 2012.
With regard to value for money, Ireland has improved significantly and is now receiving net positive ratings across all key markets – even in the challenging British market. Four out of ten (41%) overseas visitors in 2012 rated Ireland as good to very good value for money with another four out of ten (42%) rating us as fair in this regard. Only 17% of visitors considered Ireland as poor or very poor value for money – three years previously (2009) this figure was 41%. Ireland's overall net rating (when negative responses are subtracted from positives) as a value for money destination has improved at a significant rate from -11% in 2009 to +24% in 2012.
For greater details of the trends and scores in each market, view report here.
Welcoming the trend and reflecting on Irish tourism's growing competitiveness, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Mr Leo Varadkar TD pointed out:
"This is great news in the year of The Gathering, as value for money has never been more important. We are inviting thousands of visitors to Ireland and we want them to have the best experience possible, to recommend Ireland to others and to return themselves.
"This news is also more evidence that Government policies to rebuild the tourism industry, including the special 9% tourism VAT rate, are working. Fáilte Ireland estimates that 5,000 extra jobs were generated in the tourism and hospitality sector last year; regaining our reputation as a good value destination will help to sustain, and hopefully grow, the 185,000 jobs in industry."
Other indications from the top-line results of the survey include:
• The great majority of overseas holidaymakers would definitely recommend Ireland for a holiday to friends and family;
• For overseas visitors, our people and scenery remain our main competitive advantages compared to other destinations;
• Almost all holidaymakers said that their holiday either matched or exceeded their expectations with North Americans the most enthusiastic about their trips, more than half (53%) said that their Irish holiday exceeded their expectations;
• Most overseas holidaymakers say that the opportunity to engage with friendly hospitable people and enjoy beautiful scenery were important factors when considering Ireland for a holiday;
• The internet and word of mouth are the most frequently used sources of information which influence overseas holidaymakers' choice to visit Ireland.
For further details on the above, view report here and the full comprehensive Visitor Attitudes Survey will be published in the coming weeks.
Today's research emerges as the tourism industry gears up for this Tuesday's (23rd April) 'Meitheal', Ireland's largest travel trade workshop in the RDS, Dublin. Meitheal allows over 400 Irish tourism providers the opportunity to meet directly with 300 top overseas tour operators with a view to negotiating business for 2014.
Anticipating the event, Fáilte Ireland CEO Shaun Quinn emphasised:
"Although The Gathering is our big focus this year, the tourism industry is already planning for next year and beyond. It will be important that we maintain the momentum of the Gathering, continue to provide value and quality and manage to roll out new and exciting propositions to attract more guests to our shores. The deals struck this week will be an integral part of tourism's recovery and growth".
Akin to 'speed-dating', the Meitheal format is based on a pre-arranged appointment system, with each supplier having approximately 65 ten minute appointments over the two days (23-24th April) with the appointments based on both suppliers and operators' specific requests. Overall, almost 15,800 scheduled appointments will take place between the Irish trade and tourism representatives from across the globe.
In addition, Fáilte Ireland has organised a number of fact-finding tours around Ireland for overseas operators taking part in Meitheal this year, providing them a unique opportunity to sample the sights and sounds that Ireland has to offer their customers.
Meitheal, organised by Fáilte Ireland in association with Tourism Ireland, is now in its thirty–eighth year and has evolved and grown to the extent that 18 countries will be represented at this year's event – including Ireland's top four markets the US, UK, Germany and France. Delegates are also arriving from as far afield as China, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, and Australia.

Syrian Honor Crimes
Rachel Avraham
Ayat Ahmed wrote on Twitter, "The only shame that exists is those so-called humans that commit crimes in the name of honor and the laws that allow such criminals to live among us. My heart aches for Rasha and all women who fall victim to such heinous crimes."
According to Jordanian dissident Mudar Zahran, a Syrian rebel named Bashar Bseiso who is part of a group that is presently being backed by the Turkish government livestreamed the murder of his teenage sister, Rasha. The incident happened after indiscrete photos of his sister were published on Facebook.
Al Masdar reported that the teenage girl was in a relationship with a Turkish soldier and this greatly infuriated her brother. However, Al Balawba claimed that there were reports that she was raped by a Turkish soldier and it was he who posted the indiscrete photos of her on Facebook. Either way, the rebel's friend urged him to "wash his disgrace" and shoot the victim.
In the sickening video, which was shot by the rebel's friend and was placed onto youtube, after his friend tells him to murder his sister due to the fact that she allegedly committed "adultery," the rebel asks his sister to show her face to the camera. She shows her face but looks terrified while sitting on the ground with her body learning towards a wall.
The rebel then proceeds to fire a series of rounds of AK-47 bullets into his sister's body. Al Masdar claimed it was 90. Al Balawba claimed that it was over 20. Either way, his sister is now dead, being the latest victim of an honor crime. Al Watan reported in 2016 that honor crimes have increased fourfold since the Syrian crisis began especially in areas controlled by armed groups, who encourage families to murder women and girls in this manner. Al Watan claimed that the lack of law and order within Syria has led to a rapid increase in these types of murder since these pro-honor killing armed groups are in control of many areas.
In the Muslim world, many consider it to be a disgrace for a woman or girl to dress immodestly, behave immodestly or have premarital sex. For many, even if a woman is raped, the woman bears responsibility for not preserving her honor properly. While honor for men is something that can be achieved and thus is a process, Turkish scholar Deniz Kandiyoti states that honor for women is an ascribed status that can only be lost. Thus, women in the wider Muslim world are expected to take a series of actions in order to preserve their honor.
When a woman fails to preserve her honor, then the entire extended family is shamed. The family is exposed to ridicule and contempt until they restore their honor by shedding the victim's blood. As Moroccan scholar Fatema Mernissi explained, "The system of honor binds the reputation of men and women to their genital apparatus. A respectable man is not simply someone who acquires some degree of economic power but who also controls the sexual behavior of his wife, daughters, and sisters." Therefore, in such societies, many men will do anything in order to restore his lost honor, even if it means murdering his sister in a callous manner.
Even though honor crimes are common throughout the Muslim world including in Syria, Zahran claims that this murder sent shockwaves across the Arab world because it was livestreamed online and was not done behind closed doors. Furthermore, there are those in the Muslim world especially in the wake of the Arab Spring who question any societal norm that calls for the murder of innocent women.
Ayat Ahmed wrote on Twitter, "The only shame that exists is those so-called humans that commit crimes in the name of honor and the laws that allow such criminals to live among us. My heart aches for Rasha and all women who fall victim to such heinous crimes." Sara Dashti added on her Twitter, "There is absolutely nothing in the world that would give a person reason enough to shoot their sister like this." Zahran also noted that Islam opposes such murders: "Islam does not allow killing either men or women for premarital sex, let alone spreading nude selfies on Facebook."
The murder took place in Jarbalis, a town that is under the control of the Free Syrian Army and is administratively part of Aleppo. It is located near the Turkish border. According to Al Balawba, local residents have complained that the security situation in the city has deteriorated due to the fact that it has become quite easy for locals to get their hands on weapons.

Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve struggles to get back its land
The hunting reserve made public a report a few weeks ago citing encroachment of land by 315 families from 55 different settlements.
The reserve has lost around 240 hectares of land to encroachment. Prakash Baral/TKP

The conservation of Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, the only hunting reserve in the country, has become an uphill task due to institutionalised encroachment of the area, according to officials. The authorities concerned have so far failed to evict encroachers who have been steadily exploiting the reserve's land area.
According to Surya Khadka, the assistant warden at the hunting reserve, around 240 hectares of land in the reserve have been intruded upon.
A report made public by the reserve a few weeks ago mentions 315 families of 55 different settlements have encroached on the reserve's land.
The Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve sprawls over 1,325 sq km in the Dhaulagiri Himal range of Baglung, Myagdi and Rukum (East) districts. Established in 1983 and gazetted four years later, the reserve is home to 32 species of mammals and 130 bird species.
According to the reserve administration, as many as 77 hectares of land has been encroached upon in Baglung alone. Similarly, local residents have encroached more than 40 hectares of land in Myagdi and around 20 hectares in Rukum (East). Most of the land has been encroached at Chhentung, Syalpakhe and Nabi areas of Baglung district; Lulang and Gurjaghat of Myagdi district; and Ranma, Maikot, Hukam, Taksera and Kakri of Rukum (East) district.
Officials at the reserve say their effort to evict the encroachers has not been successful.
"It is not easy to get the reserve's land back from the encroachers," said Khadka. "The government, local leaders and the reserve must come together to find a solution to this issue."
Although the reserve does not have a fresh encroachment to report, it has lost a large chunk of its land to encroachers who made the move during the decade-long Maoist insurgency from 1996 to 2006.
According to the reserve administration, land encroachment started back in 1990 and reached its climax during the decade-long armed insurgency.
"Fresh land encroachment has not been reported. The presence of the Nepal Army in the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve area for the past seven years has stopped local residents from encroaching the land," said Khadka. "But we have not been able to reclaim the land that was encroached many years ago."
Dev Kumar Nepali, the mayor of Dhorpatan Municipality, says it's difficult to bring the encroached land back to the reserve's fold since most encroachers have the support of local political parties who offer them protection.
However, the residents of Syalpakhe say they are only temporarily using the reserve's land at the Bobang area to rear animals.
"The local residents are only using the land for the time being. They will evacuate the land if needed," said Tej Bahadur BK, a resident of Syalpakhe in Baglung.
Dhorpatan is a hunting reserve. The government allows hunting enthusiasts to hunt specific species of animals in the reserve each year. The Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation has issued permits to hunt seven Himalayan blue sheep and five Himalayan tahrs through competitive bids this season. Himalaya Safari, Himalayan Wildlife, Tax and Trail and Travel Expedition have received 'hunting booking license' for seven hunters.

This is a really big breakthrough for me!
That was among the first times I was able to push myself from a seated position to standing with both legs under me and locked out. Watching the video, it looks like I am standing up on my own, but my feeling in the moment was, Okay, great, I finally got that second leg. Whoo. That's nice.
Seventeen months ago, I fell out of my raised hospital bed but was completely unaware of it because I had no feeling anywhere below my chest.
Sixteen months ago, doctors allowed me to be secured to a table and tilted to 65 degrees, but no higher, for fear that I would pass out from being vertical.
Fourteen months ago, I possessed enough arm strength to push a manual wheelchair instead of an electrically-powered one, despite still requiring a strap to brace my unsteady torso.
Six months back, I required two trainers to bring me to a standing position, where I was very unstable.
Three months back, just one trainer had to push on my knees and pull on my hips to help me up.
Three weeks before today, I needed minimal pushing assistance from my trainer on both knees.
One week ago, I was able to lock one leg out on my own in a standing position.

This is a really tangible marker of the progress I am making – more so than stronger abdominals or better hip-bridging – to get back on my feet and, once balanced, to stay there, and then to move forward…watch me, because it's happening.

South Park on your Switch!
South Park: The Fractured But Whole for Nintendo Switch: Everything you need to know!
Interested in South Park: The Fractured But Whole on your Switch? Here's what you need to know.
Jaz Brown
With a recent update to the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo Switch-owning fans of South Park were treated to some great news. South Park: The Fractured But Whole now has an arrival date on the Switch. This expectedly raunchy RPG by way of Colorado will be making its way to the Switch sooner rather than later. But if you're unfamiliar with the game, what can you expect? Here's a quick rundown of South Park: The fractured But Whole.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a follow up to the 2014 South Park title, The Stick of Truth. Whereas The Stick of Truth was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, The Fractured But Whole was done by Ubisoft Entertainment and for the most part, they improved on the original. Take an episode of South Park, stretch it out to a runtime of about fifteen hours, and throw in turn based RPG mechanics and you will have a pretty good idea of what's in store for you.
South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone clearly put a lot of time and effort into the creation of The Fractured But Whole. This is not a game that was licensed and completely handed over to game developers. The hands of Trey and Matt can be seen all over this game and that's a good thing.
The game picks up where the Stick of Truth left off, with you playing the role of "new kid". In the previous game, the kids were playing with classic high fantasy tropes. In The Fractured But Whole it's all about superheroes. It seems that Cartman wants to launch his very own superhero film franchise and it's up to you to help him make it happen. As is to be expected, every element of superherodom gets the classic South Park skewering treatment.
When can you have it?
Fortunately, you don't have to wait long to get your hands on some South Park action on your Nintendo Switch. The official release date is April 24, 2018. Unfortunately, the version that is being released to the Switch is the Standard Edition which means that it will not include any of the expansion content. However, I would have to imagine that it will be coming in the not too distant future. You can head on over and secure your copy for $60.
Nintendo is slowly starting to loosen the reins on content that is geared a bit more towards adults and I think the release of South Park: The Fractured But Whole is emblematic of that. If you're a fan of the at times questionable humor of the South Park gang and you own a Switch, then you will probably have a blast with The Fractured But Whole.

The UNESCO World Heritage site is a Pret A Parent must-visit for families at any time of year but we're especially excited in the run up to Christmas now that they are hosting the Greenwich Winter Time Festival. We'll be getting our skates on at the riverside rink, joining Father Christmas on his magical launch pad, as well as doing some last-minute shopping in the "most Instagrammable" Christmas market in London. There are lots of live performances including a special screening of The Snowman film accompanied by a performance from one of the capital's oldest brass bands. And the little ones will be mesmerised by the biggest loo roll ever on stage at the children's musical adaptation of the Giant's Loo Roll (2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 16th, 18th – 23rd) as well as Thomas Trilby's festive circus show (17th, 26th, 31st). We can't wait to soak up the festive atmosphere with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. It's going to be a real Christmas treat.
Feast on a real Christmas Cracker this year. Created by the slow roast experts Pulled, it's a brioche filled with slow roasted pulled turkey, sausage meat, stuffing, crispy kale, mini roast potatoes and cranberry sauce. If that isn't tempting enough what about strawberries, bananas and marshmallows dipped in delicious chocolate at The Chocolate Van.

Charity fundraising, what is changing

News and case studies /
Nowadays, many businesses decide to conduct a phone fundraising campaign. Besides non-profit organisations, these campaigns can also be conducted by voluntary organisations, associations for social advancement, social cooperatives and enterprises, charities and mutual benefit societies, as well as by associations and foundations which meet the necessary requirements.
For example, a hospital foundation aiming to raise funds for a housing, support and reception project for relatives of child in-patients could ask TLC operators to launch a phone fundraising campaign, submitting the documentation and communications plan.
This is just one of the new developments introduced under the reform of the Codice del Terzo Settore (Italian Third Sector Code), which came into effect in 2017.
However, the Italian non-profit world is also changing, to some extent a result of the new Self-Regulation Code for the management of charity fundraising campaign phone number systems, endorsed by all the telephone operators.
The charity fundraising data (*) for 2017, shown in the infographic, already displays elements of change when compared to the past, in terms of the viewpoint of donors: an ever-increasing focus on scientific and medical research is in fact evident, as well as a considerable rise in services relating to people's basic needs, also understood as increased care and protection, of women, children and the elderly, above all.
The rules are therefore changing, as is the sensitivity of donors based in Italy.
But let's take a detailed look at what is happening and what the most 'popular' themes are in terms of social and welfare activities.
Bearing in mind the Italian national and international campaigns of 2017, as much as 62% of funds raised through TIM's customers were earmarked for Scientific Research and Medical-Surgical Assistance and Healthcare (33.81% in the rest of the world and , 28%, only a little less, in Italy).
Socio-nutritional Support and Protection came next (11.7 % Italy and 10.17% world), albeit at a considerable distance (around 22%), owing, amongst other things, to increased national sensitivity towards food protection and the fight against waste.
Safeguarding and Protection of the Individual came third; this can also be understood as tackling marginalisation, loneliness, hunger, homelessness and, in particular, campaigns aimed at women and children, with a much stronger focus on international projects (7.16%) than Italian ones (1.04% Italy).
A fundamentally equal amount of funds were collected for campaigns addressing integration, prevention and social education (3.17 %), in favour of a united society which removes the causes of marginality and does not fuel the processes of exclusion; and those addressing protection and prevention for animals and the environment (2.93%), both mainly aimed towards national beneficiaries.
Finally, around 2% was allocated to humanitarian disasters. This figure records the last of the donations to the emergency number for the earthquake in Central Italy, and the project dedicated to Haiti and the hurricane victims in late 2017, submitted by UNICEF.
*Data taken from the volume of the annual amount raised, paid by TIM to the individual associations, matched to the aims indicated in the individual projects and the destinations of these projects in Italy and worldwide.


Christine Lagarde, managing director of International Monetary Fund, on Sunday met Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan on the sidelines of the World Government Summit in Dubai, where she highlighted that strong economic package will restore confidence in the South Asian country's economy and lay foundations for more inclusive growth."I reiterated that the IMF stands ready to support Pakistan. I also highlighted that decisive policies and a strong package of economic reforms would enable Pakistan to restore the resilience of its economy and lay the foundations for stronger and more inclusive growth. As emphasized in the new government's policy agenda, protecting the poor and strengthening governance are key priorities to improve people's living standards in a sustainable manner," Lagarde said in a statement after the meeting.Khan and Lagarde also discussed recent economic developments and prospects for Pakistan in the context of ongoing discussions toward an IMF-supported programme. However, it was not revealed whether the two leaders agreed on the loan package.Khan praised the UAE leadership for hosting the summit. "We are happy that the Muslim world has stated these great forums for exchange of ideas."
