Booking a day out with South Devon Wine Tours is easy. Simply fill out the enquiry form on the contact page, telling us where you would like to be picked up from, how many people will be going, and when you'd like to travel. When we've received your enquiry, we'll plan out a day for you, looking at the geography of where you're staying, as well as which vineyards are open on that day of the week and at that time of year. Then we'll give you a ring, and talk through our proposed tour. Over the course of the day we'll visit two or three vineyards, and your trip will include lunch at a vineyard cafe and a Devon cream tea.
We'll pick you up from your accommodation, using our shiny new, leather clad, air conditioned van. Most tours start around 9.00 and you should be dropped off home around 5.00 or 5.30 depending on which vineyards we visit. You'll have the chance to walk around two or three working vineyards and see how grapes being grown, you'll also visit at least one winery, and see how grapes are turned into wine, including how our sparkling wines are made. At each vineyard you'll have the chance to sample and indeed purchase, locally produced wine.
Your tour guide will tell you some of the history of wine making in Devon, but you'll also get the chance to meet and talk to at least a couple of the vineyard owners. To keep the experience as personal as possible we tend to run smaller group sizes, and will happily run a tour for just a couple of people, however we have planned a trip for a group of 33, so please give us a ring even if you have a large group.
To make a booking, or if there is anything else you'd like to talk about, give us a ring on 07447 055912 or email us, and we'll be delighted to sort out your ideal day trip.

J: The first thing I noticed about Allison was a combination of her cute smile, hair, and sense of style. Her smile was initially pursed and reserved, but became mischievous after awhile.
Was there any obvious flirting?
J: Nothing that I sensed. I was more nervous than I'd normally be. I'm not shy and love to flirt- but I think I had some reservations. I knew this was being recoded and that was a little weird. I also didn't want this to be a disaster so I may have been forcing things, and flirting needs to come naturally.
What do you remember about what he/she does?
J: Allison's a freelance designer.
Do you want to see this person again?
What was the most interesting thing you talked about?
J: I love the fact that Allison likes to create, that she works with her hands. I really dug listening to her talk about various projects.
What was the sexiest thing that happened?
On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) how would you rate this blind date?
A: i guess a 7. i dont have anything to compare it to but it didn't scare me off of doing it again.
What is one question you would want to ask him/her?
A: o i was suppose to email him my comic so he could tell me if it's cool.
J: Yeah. Are we still down for that gig at Sweet Revenge at the end of the month?

New solutions for hate control
4 weeks ago / 80 Views
Today religious anti-Semitism is a more than relevant phenomenon on the territory of Europe. Besides that, it is developing and getting stronger more and more. If we draw a parallel between the Holocaust times and the present day, it becomes terrifying that anti-Semitism has increased just insanely. President of the Israeli-Jewish Congress in the UK, Vladimir Sloutsker, notes that the number of attacks in the country is growing. More than 760 incidents have been registered over the first half of the year. It is 30% increase if to compare with the identical period of 2016. 760 attacks is actually a record since 1984.
The modern fight against anti-Semitism is aimed at reducing the number of attacks. However, according to Mr. Sloutsker https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/vladimir-sloutsker-a-new-way-to-fight-antisemitism-1.447253, it is rather ineffective. He highlights five key points that, in his opinion, will help to successfully resolve the situation that has arisen, namely, to eradicate the harmful processes:
Give a clear, universal definition of the concept of "anti-Semitism", which will be used in all countries. The Israeli-Jewish Congress has already developed a formulation, it remains only to be supported and adopted in Europe. Otherwise, how can you deal with a phenomenon that everyone understands in his own way? According to the new definition, attacks on Zionism and delegitimization of Israel are also included in the concept of anti-Semitism.
Since manifestations of hatred and intolerance affect not only Jews but other ethnic minorities, it is important that they work closely with other religious groups and learn new opposition methods together. Anti-Semitism is the scourge of the entire planet: it is important that the whole society fights against it, and not just the affected groups.
Proper education of young people is a significant contribution to the fight against hatred. It is important to focus not only on the Holocaust, but also on the most valuable Jews contributions to history, culture, and the development of Europe. We need to underline the danger of anti-Semitic crimes, cultivate tolerance in the heads of the younger generation.
Since nowadays social media is a popular way of spreading information, it is necessary to share personal stories, messages, etc., aimed at neutralizing intolerance. For the success of this step, large technology companies should be involved in the dialogue as they can have a big influence on the digital world.
Involvement of the legal sector, active punishment for the committed crimes, will demonstrate the rule of law, which will diminish the desire to commit any act of violence.
As Vladimir Sloutsker believes that the fight against hatred must be smart, active and creative, and involve right technical innovations. Besides, the EU should not cease to declare its position on the eradication of anti-Semitism, but provide all possible resources for an effective struggle.

AMPHETAMINES (AMP)
Amphetamines are central nervous stimulants whose effects include alertness, wakefulness, increased energy, reduced hunger and an overall feeling of well being. Large doses and long term usage can result in higher tolerance levels and dependence. The most common source for amphetamine are the prescription diet pills (Phentermine).
METHAMPHETAMINE (mAMP)
Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug which is quickly metabolized to amphetamine. It is used in pill form, or in powdered form by snorting or injecting. Crystallized methamphetamine is inhaled by smoking and is a considerably more powerful form of the drug. Some of the effects of methamphetamine use include: increased heart rate, wakefulness, physical activity and decreased appetite. Methamphetamine use can cause irreversible damage to the brain, producing strokes and convulsions, which can lead to death. Ecstasy, a new trendy and popular drug among teenagers is a refined and processed form of methamphetamine.
Opiates are any of the addictive narcotic drugs derived from the resin of the poppy plant. Opiates are analgesics (pain reducers) which work by depressing the central nervous system. They can also depress the respiratory system. Doctors often prescribe them for severe or chronic pain. Opiates are very addictive, both physically and psychologically. Use for only a short time normally results in addiction. Some commonly used opiates are: Codeine, Darvon, Heroin, Methadone, Morphine, Opium, Percodan, Talwin, Dilaudid and Demerol. Opiates are commonly referred to as "downers". Opiates can appear in many forms: white powder or crystals; small white, yellow or orange pills; large colorful capsules; clear liquid and dark brown, sticky bars or balls. Heroin accounts for the majority of the illicit opiate abuse. Some physical indications of opiate use include: extreme loss of appetite and weight, needle tracks or punctures, black and blue marks from "skin popping", scars along veins, cramps, nausea, vomiting, excessive scratching and complaint of itching, excessive sweating, constipation, raw, red nostrils from snorting, runny nose, pin-point pupils and watery eyes, reduced vision, drowsiness, euphoria, trance-like states, excessive thirst, tremors, twitching, unkempt appearance, strong body odor, irritability, chills; slight hallucinations and lethargy. Opiates reduce attention span, sensory and motor abilities, produce irrational behavior, depression, paranoia, and other psychological abnormalities.
Also classified as depressants, benzodiazepines are used therapeutically to produce sedation, induce sleep, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms and to prevent seizures. In general, benzodiazepines act as hypnotics in high doses, as anxiolytics in moderate doses and as sedatives in low doses. Like the barbiturates, benzodiazepines differ from one another in how fast they take effect and how long the effects last. Shorter acting benzodiazepines, used to manage insomnia, include estazolam (ProSom), flurazepam (Dalmane), quazepam (Doral), temazepam (Restoril) and triazolam (Halcion). Benzodiazepines with longer durations of action include alprazolam (Xanax), chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), halazepam (Paxipam), lorazepam (Ativan), oxazepam (Serax) and prazepam (Centrax). Abuse of Benzodiazepines occurs primarily because of the "high" which replicates alcohol intoxication. Approximately 50 percent of people entering treatment for narcotic or cocaine addiction also report abusing benzodiazepines.
Although chemically unlike morphine or heroin, methadone produces many of the same effects. Methadone is primarily used today for the treatment of narcotic addiction. The effects of methadone are longer-lasting than those of morphine-based drugs. Methadone's effects can last up to 24 hours, thereby permitting administration only once a day in heroin detoxification and maintenance programs. Ironically, methadone, used to control narcotic addiction, is a frequently abused narcotic, often encountered on the illicit market and methadone has been associated with a number of overdose deaths.
Tricyclic antidepressants have been prescribed since the 1950s for depression and compulsive disorders. Until recently TCAs were the primary choice of physicians for the vast majority of people with major depressive disorders. Ironically TCAs are often prescribed for symptomatic treatment of drug addiction and withdrawal and in particular, alcoholism. Tricyclic antidepressants work by raising the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain by slowing the rate of reuptake, or re-absorption, by nerve cells. Usually TCAs are taken over an extended period as results from the drugs are gradual. Because of the possibility of causing serious cardiac complications, TCAs can be lethal if misused at high doses. Abuse of TCAs can be the result of fear of relapse rather than any psycho-pharmacological effect however the potential for TCA abuse is well established, since the drugs have clearly defined euphoric psychological and stimulatory physiological action in cases of chronic usage. Generic and brand names of the tricyclic antidepressants include Adapin, Amitriptyline, Amoxapine, Asendin, Desipramine, Doxepin, Elavil, Imipramine, Ludiomil, Maprotiline, Norpramin, Nortriptyline, Pamelor, Pertofrane, Protriptyline, Sinequan, Surmontil, Tofranil, and Vivactil. Any comprehensive drug screening program should include a TCA panel.
Pharmaceutical drugs Percodan, Percocet, Roxicodone, Oxycontin. While classified as an Opiate, the chemical structure and metabolite of Oxycodone requires a separate Opiate test with a substantially higher sensitivity detection level than that of the standard Opiate drug test. Consequently, a positive test result will not only confirm Oxycodone but other opiates as well. In this regard the Oxycodone test is not Oxycodone specific but opiate specific being able to detect Oxycodone/opiate use at the higher sensitivity level required while the 2000 ng/ml sensitivity level of the standard opiate test would not detect Oxycodone. Oxycodone is generally prescribed in oral pill form with the analgesic buffer Acetaminophen. Acetaminophen, 4'-hydroxyacetanilide, is a non-opiate, non-salicylate analgesic and antipyretic which occurs as a white, odorless, crystalline powder, possessing a slightly bitter taste. Its molecular formula is C8H9NO2. The molecular weight is 151.17. The Oxycodone component is 14- hydroxydihydrocodeinone, a white, odorless, crystalline powder having a saline, bitter taste. It is derived from the opium alkaloid thebaine. Its molecular formula is C18H21NO4·HCl. The molecular weight is 351.83.
PPX is a narcotic analgesic compound bearing structural similarity to methadone. As an analgesic, propoxyphene can be from 50-75% as potent as oral codeine. DarvocetTM, one of the most common brand names for the drug, contains 50-100 mg of propoxyphene napsylate and 325-650 mg of acetaminophen. Peak plasma concentrations of propoxyphene are achieved from 1 to 2 hours post dose. In the case of overdose, propoxyphene blood concentrations can reach significantly higher levels. In humans, propoxyphene is metabolized by N-demethylation to yield norpropoxyphene. Norpropoxyphene has a longer half-life (30 to 36 hours) than parent propoxyphene (6 to 12 hours). The accumulation of norpropoxyphene seen with repeated doses may be largely responsible for resultant toxicity.
MARIJUANA (THC)
Tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) is an active component in marijuana. Marijuana, a hallucinogen, is commonly ingested by smoking, but it may also be eaten. Marijuana may impair learning and coordination abilities. Marijuana is most commonly the drug of choice among teenagers and young adults. The hallucinogenic effect of Marijuana can lead to irrational behavior, disorientation, and paranoia. Low concentrations of THC persists in urine at a detectable concentration for many days after smoking. Marijuana is the most common recreational drug of abuse.
Cocaine is made from coca leaves. Its effects include alertness, wakefulness, increased energy and an overall feeling of euphoria. Cocaine may be smoked, inhaled ("snorted") or injected. Cocaine can be a very addictive drug. Cocaine is metabolized by the body into the chemical compound Benzoylecgonine.
Classified generally as depressants, barbiturates produce a state of intoxication that is remarkably similar to alcohol intoxication. Symptoms include slurred speech, loss of motor coordination and impaired judgment. Depending on the dose, frequency, and duration of use, one can rapidly develop tolerance, physical dependence and psychological dependence on barbiturates. Barbiturate abusers prefer the short-acting and intermediate-acting barbiturates pentobarbital (Nembutal), secobarbital (Seconal) and amobarbital (Amytal). Other short-and intermediate-acting barbiturates are butalbital (Fiorinal, Fioricet), butabarbital (Butisol), talbutal (Lotusate) and aprobarbital (Alurate). After oral administration, the onset of action is from 15 to 40 minutes and the effects last up to 6 hours.
ECSTACY (XTC)
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Ecstasy) is a designer drug first synthesized in 1913 by a German drug company for the treatment of obesity. Those who take the drug frequently report adverse effects, such as increased muscle tension and sweating. MDMA is not clearly a stimulant, although it has, in common with amphetamine drugs, a capacity to increase blood pressure and heart rate. MDMA does produce some perceptual changes in the form of increased sensitivity to light, difficulty in focusing, and blurred vision in some users. Its mechanism of action is thought to be via release of the neurotransmitter serotonin. MDMA may also release dopamine, although the general opinion is that this is a secondary effect of the drug. The most pervasive effect of MDMA, occurring in almost all people who have taken a reasonable dose of the drug, is to produce a clenching of the jaws. Symptomatic and biological responses to MDMA are similar to those produced by methamphetamine.
Phencyclidine hydrochloride (or PCP), also know as "angel dust," is a hallucinogen. PCP is commonly taken orally, by inhalation, by "snorting" or by injection. The effects of this drug are unpredictable and variable. Users may exhibit signs of euphoria, anxiety, relaxation, increased strength, time / space distortions, panic or hallucination. PCP use can lead to paranoia and extreme irrational behavior. Once popular, PCP use has declined dramatically in recent years and is no longer considered a major drug of abuse.

CRES Clean Energy Champions Update: 2018 Champions Continue Work for Clean and Renewable Energy
Next week kicks off National Clean Energy Week (NCEW). Among the festivities that week, CRES will recognize its 2019 Clean Energy Champions, a group of Republicans who have demonstrated steadfast leadership in promoting commonsense, clean energy policies that sustain the vitality of our economy, foster advanced energy development, and support environmental stewardship. But first we would like to take a moment to focus in on last year's recipients as they've all been busy again this year doing the hard work in the name of a strong clean energy future.
We named U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) as a Clean Energy Champion for forwarding the conversation on renewables in her state and the nation as a whole. She serves as Chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where she promotes developing energy technologies. Acting as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, Murkowski helped to ensure the FY18 budget included funding for new energy research.
This year, Senator Murkowski continues to provide national leadership on clean energy. She furthers clean energy opportunities in her work at the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by examining topics like nuclear energy (NELA), the expanded deployment of grid-scale energy storage and innovative energy solutions to reduce domestic and global greenhouse gas emissions.
U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) has been a key advocate for clean energy in his state, which has already grown tremendously and added nearly 3,000 solar jobs following the landmark State Distributed Energy Resource Program Act of 2014. This year, South Carolina passed the Energy Freedom Act, which expanded net metering in the Palmetto State and allows larger energy consumers to work with renewable energy suppliers directly.
Senator Scott's influence on clean energy development will be more important than ever became Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on Energy, Natural Resources and Infrastructure. Senator Scott also co-sponsored the Strengthening Investment to Grow Manufacturing in America (SIGMA) Act, which would support American manufacturers through increasing affordable loans, incentivizing operation growth, and expanding financial resources and education assistance to small manufacturers, including many in the clean energy sector.
U.S. Representative Tom Reed (NY-23) fit the bill as a 2018 Clean Energy Champion by standing up for clean energy on Capitol Hill. He was the lead sponsor of the POWER Act, aimed at creating jobs and reducing energy consumption. He also co-sponsored the Roofing Efficiency Jobs Act to promote job creation and reduce energy bills for business and consumers.
Lately, Representative Reed has been bolstering the excitement for renewable energy development in his home state. Recently, he visited an Olean-based solar electric system called the Homeridae Project to give his support.
"We've seen these projects like these across the district, and sitting on the Ways and Means Committee where we're becoming the Republican alternative energy individuals, we are really supportive of the tax credits that make these sorts of projects work," said Reed during the visit.
We recognized U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY21) as a Clean Energy Champion last year due to her work in Congress, like ensuring the FY18 budget set aside funding for important DoE research and co-sponsoring the POWER Act, which included tax credits to develop wind and solar power.
Representative Stefanik has been at it again with new legislation aimed at extending tax credits for renewable energy. The Renewable Electricity Tax Credit Equalization Act targets investments in qualified renewable energy production and extends the tax credits allotted for these investments, forwarding innovative technology like open-loop biomass and geothermal.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert is one of the state leaders whose designation as a Clean Energy Champion was well-deserved. He's been tackling the hard questions on energy and climate in Utah, and it has won him support from both sides of the aisle.
Recently Governor Herbert signed 15 clean air bills into law to celebrate this year's National Earth Day. The bills laid out a comprehensive plan to clean up Utah, including funding to replace polluting word-burning stoves and funding to increase the state's electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan earned his spot as a Clean Energy Champion last year by leading a flagship administration that is redefining the Republican stance on clean energy. Under his leadership, Maryland renewed its commitment to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and put forth a state budget that included key provisions to address climate change in Maryland.
Building off his previous work, Governor Hogan recently signed Executive Order 01.01.2019.09, which establishes the Governor's Task Force on Renewable Energy Development and Siting. The task force will give recommendations on where to locate new solar and wind energy projects in Maryland. CRES Forum Director of Policy and Advocacy Charles Hernick recently wrote an op-ed in Maryland Matters praising the Governor for his Clean and Renewable Energy Standard (CARES).
Through the work of individuals like our 2018 Clean Energy Champions, America's energy sector will continue to transition away from fossil fuels by utilizing innovative technology and free-market completion. Make sure to check back soon for more National Clean Energy Week updates, including our announcement of this year's CRES Clean Energy Champions.

My wife picked up this 6V PW Dora Get Set Go-Kart from a place called Kid's Market a couple weeks ago for $25 with working charger and battery. I finally got around to upgrading it to 12V last week for my daughter. She really likes it. I used 2 of the blue PW 6V 4.5Ah batteries wired in series for 12V. The last pic shows where I had to dremel out the plastic on the rear driver's side to fit the second battery. I have the two rear covers, but chose not to reinstall them. I hope to post a video soon.
Nice work man. I just detest the dora colors. Let us know how it rolls on 12v.
Those seem to be really stout little cars with a descent turning radius for having a live axle. Will rides his all the time @12V on grass with no issues.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the colors either, but my daughter likes it. So, that's really all that matters to me. I'm more concerned with performance than cosmetics anyway. My wife is the opposite. I hope to have some time this Friday or Saturday to make a video of my daughter riding it. My son is almost too big to fit in it now.
My daughter briefly rode it through the grass the other day. I too was surprised how well it handles off road.
I have the blue version. It's been on 12 volts for a while now. My son still rides it at 5. I'm thinking of going 18volt before I retire it.
Pretty clean work you did on the trimmin'. Thats kind of a tight spot.
Good idea. My daughter seemed to get tired of holding down the acceleration button. A well positioned foot pedal would probably be a lot easier for her.
That's a cute ride for a girl and you can't beat $25 when you get a battery and charger with it.
My little one had a 6v Diego quad that I converted to 12v and even after 2 years the thing still runs great. I keep it around for when someone with younger kids comes over.
I also agree that a gas pedal would make it a lot easier for her to drive.

Q: How to modify author base slug with groups and slug to use nice_nickname? After reading the following suggestions from Jan Fabry regarding URL rewrite and the author slug I took the challenge in combining both solution in one.

*

*Change author base slug for different roles

*Change the author slug from user name to nickname
Goal: The goal of this is to have a structure for the authors as followed:
http://domain.tld/employees/(department|group)/firstname-lastname

Current solution: In order to arrange this I have merged the solutions as mentioned in the referred answers as followed:
// NOTE: This need to be stored different and need to be attached to author/profile
//       Will be added to user settings so this can be changed (only primary group will be stored)
$wpa04142013_author_groups = array( 'staff', 'admin', 'support', 'itnerds', 'etc' );

/*
 * Init WordPress to add globals which can be used for the authors and levels of the authors.
 */
add_action( 'init', 'wpa04142013_init' );
function wpa04142013_init()
{
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $author_groups = $GLOBALS['wpa04142013_author_groups'];

    // Define the tag and use it in the rewrite rule
    add_rewrite_tag( '%author_group%', '(' . implode( '|', $author_groups ) . ')' );
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = 'employees/%author_group%';
}

Above solution will make sure the author_base is changed as needed based upon the goal defined in the beginning. After that the author_link needs to be hooked in other to use the correct link to the author archive page.
add_filter( 'author_link', 'wpa04142013_author_link', 10, 3 );
function wpa04142013_author_link( $link, $author_id, $author_nicename )
{
    //NOTE: This if/else needs to be changed --> either select case and use
    //      global defined groups based upon user property
    if ( 1 == $author_id ) {
        $author_group = 'staff';
    } else {
        $author_group = 'admin';
    }
    $link = str_replace( '%author_group%', $author_group, $link );

    //Below solution added from other WordPress Answers suggestion
        $author_nickname = get_user_meta( $author_id, 'nickname', true );
    if ( $author_nickname ) {
        $link = str_replace( $author_nicename, $author_nickname, $link );
    }

    return $link;
}

After implementing above the link to the author is working correctly, but the request and url rewrite is not working. Clicking the link of the author will result in a 404 page for the template.
If I am not mistaken I also need to modify the following section, but this is where it is going wrong.
/*
 * Hook into 'request' to modify the author request.
 * Change the way the lookup works (via nickname in stead of the slug)
 */
add_filter( 'request', 'wpa04142013_request' );
function wpa04142013_request( $query_vars )
{
    if ( array_key_exists( 'author_name', $query_vars ) ) {
        global $wpdb;
        $author_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key='nickname' AND meta_value = %s", $query_vars['author_name'] ) );
        if ( $author_id ) {
            $query_vars['author'] = $author_id;
            unset( $query_vars['author_name'] );
        }
    }
    return $query_vars;
}

add_filter( 'author_rewrite_rules', 'wpa04142013_author_rewrite_rules' );
function wpa04142013_author_rewrite_rules( $author_rewrite_rules )
{
    foreach ( $author_rewrite_rules as $pattern => $substitution ) {
        if ( FALSE === strpos( $substitution, 'author_name' ) ) {
            unset( $author_rewrite_rules[$pattern] );
        }
    }
    return $author_rewrite_rules;
}

I have already gotten some help on the Dutch WordPress support forum, but I am still stuck in finding the right solution. Also looked into the rewrites with the Rewrite Analyzer, but could not find the author_group. Hopefully you can help me pointing me in the right direction.

A: Edit: previous answer not working. Following solution does not provide sanitized nicknames, but should do the trick:
    $nn = urldecode($query_vars['author_name'] );
    $author_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key='nickname' AND meta_value = %s", $nn ) );

A: I have ran some additional tests and came to the following conclusion. Besides the answer above it is required to flush the permalinks in order to apply the changes to the functions.php.

*

*Save changes to the functions.php

*Open Options --> Permalinks.

No need to save the changes, just visiting the page is enough to flush the permalinks. Furthermore it is must to verify the new rewrite rules with the Rewrite Analyzer, if the changes are not available there follow above steps to flush the permalinks.

10 Heartfelt Animated Movies About Grief and Loss
Here's a shocking statistic for you about animated movies. According to a study by Ian Colman, "Two-thirds of children's animated films contained an on-screen death of an important character." It's honestly impressive how often films are promoted to be for children are able to take on such a difficult topic such as grief and loss. Not to mention how they can do it with psychological accuracy. Animated movies can take grief and bring it to such a beautifully simplistic level that even the youngest of children can admire its message. Despite there being hundreds of films in this category that feature this theme, these are the ones that have truly embraced the topic to its fullest potential:
Bambi (1942)
Bambi.
"Faster! Faster, Bambi! Don't look back! Keep running! Keep running!"
There is nothing sweeter than a movie about a baby deer finding its way in the world. That being said, this seemingly innocent film displays how suddenly things can take a turn for the worse. Even though we only hear a gunshot, the scene of Bambi's mother's death leaves a heartbreaking impact on anyone watching. In fact, it has often been used as the quintessential example of death in children's programming. Bambi proves that death can often be unexpected, and it has no consideration for those it leaves behind.
The Land Before Time (1988)
Land Before Time.
"What do you mean I can't see you? I can always see you."
Another classic example of a grief-ridden child left behind to journey the world alone is Land Before Time. Though unlike Bambi, The Land before Time introduces death early in the film. The main character Littlefoot must travel to his new home with only the last words of his mother to keep him moving. Luckily, along the way, he meets some new friends, and together they overcome every obstacle. This movie did an excellent job showing how much friendship can truly be your strength.
The Lion King.
"Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life."
The death of the great king Mufasa left many viewers in tears. That being said, what truly stands out about this movie is the way his son, Simba, personally decided to deal with this loss. At first, he decided to run away from his problems but with time, and a little help from a wise baboon, he was able to release his pain and strive towards a more important goal. Simba's return to the throne is something anyone suffering a loss can look at and admire. Everyone must face their grief at some point, and when we do is when we remember who we truly are.
Lilo and Stitch (2002)
Lilo and Stitch.
"'Ohana" means "family." "Family" means "no one gets left behind." But if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you though…I remember everyone that leaves."
In Lilo and Stitch, two sisters who lost their parents find family in the most unlikely of places. The unique aspect of this movies though isn't the aliens; it's that viewers get to see the struggles the sisters must face staying together. Moral of the story, the loss is less painful when you have someone to share it with.
Finding Nemo.
"No. No, you can't… STOP. Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave… if you leave… I just, I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two… forty-two… I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I… and I'm home. Please… I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget."
Disney must have been on a roll, since barely a year after Lilo and Stitch they released another fantastic film that in the first 5 minutes had a father lost his wife and became a single parent. This movie shows how fear becomes a symptom of loss as this father becomes overprotective of his son after his wife's death. The only thing worse than losing someone you love is losing two people you love.
"That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most."
If anything can beat the start of Finding Nemo, it is the beginning of Up. After the death of his wife, this old man desire is to go on the adventure she always dreamed of. This movie does an amazing thing at the end by allowing the main character to release that his wife just wants him to keep living and find new adventures. Although we may lose the one we care for, we can still live for them.
Frankenweenie.
"I don't want him in my heart. I want him here with me."
This film may be an unconventional pick, but nothing shows a loss more creatively. The main character loves nothing more than his dog, to the point that he even finds a way to bring him back to life. Being honest, I'm not entirely sure how this translates to children, but I think it's a film filled with an innovative story and displays love and loss in a very theatric light.
"So long… partner."
The Toy Story's series has put viewers on a rollercoaster of emotions as it shows the deep connection between a kid and his toys. In the latest installment though we finally get to see the parting of these loyal toys and their loving owner. What makes this moment special is that he gives them to a child who will care for them as much if not more then he can right now, and he knows this loss will lead to a happier future for the toys he loves. Endings and sacrifices will always leave an imprint in people's hearts.
Big Hero 6.
"People keep saying he's not really gone, as long as we remember him. But it still hurts."
This movie is all about grief and loss. After the sudden death of his brother, a boy bonds with a robot his brother created and helped him learn to cope with the loss. What's great about this movie is that the boy in it displays so many sides of grief. At first, he refuses to do anything, but suddenly feels inspired to look into his brother's death. Slowly he starts to see he can enjoy his life without his brother but quickly descends into anger after seeing the man who was responsible for his death. Finally, he brings himself down again and slowly moves into acceptance. Big Hero 6 is the perfect example of how harsh emotional stability is when you are suffering from loss.
Kubo And The Two Strings.
"It makes us stronger than you'll ever be. These are the memories of those we've have loved and lost. And if we hold their stories, deep in our hearts… then you will never take them away from us."
Lastly, but nowhere near the least, Kubo is a more modern movie and a true work of art in motion. I can barely begin to explain how beautifully Kubo shows death and the grief surrounding it. Kubo is a story about a storyteller, and nothing could be a more perfect for the theme they use about memories and the importance of keeping hold of the stories of those who have passed.
So the next time you may be unsure of how to explain to a child about grief or loss, just look up one of these amazing movies, and enjoy the emotional ride. And don't forget, as an adult you can also benefit from these stories of coping.

Home Government Investigations & White Collar Criminal Defense UK Government unveils deferred prosecution agreements as a new enforcement tool
UK Government unveils deferred prosecution agreements as a new enforcement tool
By Matthew Stone on 6 November 2012 Posted in Government Investigations & White Collar Criminal Defense
On 23 October 2012, the UK Ministry of Justice published the Government's response to the consultation on deferred prosecution agreements ("DPAs"). This confirmed that DPAs will be introduced in England and Wales as an alternative to prosecution of companies for fraud, bribery and money laundering offences. The Government intends to amend the Crime and Courts Bill, which is currently under consideration by Parliament, so that DPAs are introduced from 2014.
A DPA is a written agreement between a prosecutor and a company which allows a prosecution to be deferred and ultimately dismissed if the company abides by the terms of the DPA. The aim of DPAs is to encourage companies to self-report and to give prosecutors another tool by which to hold offending companies to account without the uncertainty, expense and complexity of a criminal trial.
DPAs available for commercial organisations only – no plan to introduce them for the criminal liability of individuals.
Available for conduct that predates DPA legislation (provided no proceedings already commenced).
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) or Director of the Serious Fraud Office (DSFO) must personally exercise power to enter into a DPA.
DPP and DSFO to produce a Code of Practice for Prosecutors on DPAs.
Preliminary private hearing before a judge to determine whether a DPA would be "in the interests of justice" and whether the proposed terms are "fair, reasonable and proportionate".
All DPAs will include a statement of facts and an expiry date upon which the DPA will cease to have effect. Other terms could include a financial penalty, a disgorgement of profits, reparation to victims, and the establishment of monitoring, internal procedures and training.
Allowance for a reduction in the financial penalty element of the DPA in line with the reductions currently available for a guilty plea on prosecution (up to a third).
Final DPA to be approved by a judge in open court to ensure transparency. Prosecutor obliged to publish the final agreement as well as details of how the terms of the DPA have been complied with by the commercial organisation at the end of the DPA process, plus details of any breach, variation or termination of a DPA.
Serious or contested breaches of a DPA will be determined by a judge applying the civil standard of proof. Options on breach include variation or termination of the DPA (i.e. prosecution).
Admissions made by a company during the DPA process will be admissible in criminal proceedings against that company, but not against individuals. Any material provided by a company during the DPA process could be used against either the company or an individual. The DPA itself and the Statement of Facts will be admissible as hearsay evidence in civil proceedings.
Requiring a judge to determine whether a DPA is appropriate and to confirm the terms of the DPA in open court is intended to ensure full public transparency and to meet criticisms – often based on U.S. DPAs – that DPAs allow prosecutors to circumvent the judicial process by reaching an agreement with a defendant out of court and out of the public eye. DPAs will not be available in every instance. The factors that will determine whether a DPA is appropriate will be set out in a statutory DPA Code of Practice for Prosecutors (the timing of which is not yet confirmed) and are likely to include whether a company self-reported (something the DPAs are intended in encourage), whether remedial action has been taken, the seriousness of the wrongdoing, the extent of the dishonesty, and any impact on third parties.
Incentives for a company to agree to a DPA include: reducing the costs and reputational impact associated with a criminal trial, being subject to a reduced fine, and, perhaps most importantly, not having a criminal conviction, which means that the company would avoid debarment under the EU public procurement rules. However, companies may nonetheless hesitate to self-report and agree to a DPA given that information provided in the DPA process can still serve as evidence in criminal proceedings; that the DPA itself can act as hearsay evidence in civil proceedings; and that the UK Serious Fraud Office has recently signalled a tougher stance by withdrawing its previous guidance on self-reporting in bribery cases. The introduction of DPAs may increase cross-border cooperation by making it easier for prosecutors to coordinate their response to what is often multi-jurisdictional wrongdoing.

The only thing he desires is a second chance with his best friend's little sister.
Josie's determined to hold onto her heart and not repeat her mistakes, but when danger arrives on Noah's doorstep and takes aim at Josie, they just might discover that sometimes love is worth the risk.

The minute I finished Running Wild, the prequel novel to Serving Trouble, I went in search of the continuation of Josie and Noah's story. (If you haven't read Running Wild, you should go download and read that immediately!) I was drawn to Josie and Noah. I like the "Siblings BFF" trope and this one sets up beautifully.
Josie has a less than stellar reputation around her small town and she was anxious to break free of the confines and people's perceptions. Noah is the hometown hero; a High School football star turned war veteran who has returned to take over the family business, Buck's Bar. Oh yeah, he is also Josie's brother's best friend. Outside of one wild night just before Noah left for the service, (Running Wild) they have kept their distance despite a mutual attraction and shared affection. Noah is working behind the bar when Josie rolls into town desperate for a job. It doesn't take long for the two to give in to their mutual attraction and overwhelming physical and emotional needs for one another.
Sara Jane Stone has woven a tale full of both romance and suspense. Josie and Noah are rich and complex characters. When they are threatened by an unknown source, both Josie and Noah must fight to stay together and safe. Both characters are independent and strong, but they want to share life's struggles and to be a support for one another.
This was my first novel by Sara Jane Stone and I'm anxious for more in this Second Shot Series. I read Serving Trouble on a road trip and was so consumed by the story and the characters that miles and hours passed in the blink of an eye. There's just enough mystery to keep the pages turning and more than enough steam to keep it interesting. If you're looking for a solid romance with great characters and an engrossing story, Serving Trouble is a solid choice!

BFF K's Mini Review
This FREE (that's right, friends, FREE) novella did exactly what it was intended to do. It has made me hungry for MORE!!! Running Wild sets up Serving Trouble, the first book in the new Second Shot Series by Sara Jane Stone.
Noah is the town hero who enlists in the Marines to help his father and Grandmother. Josie is struggling with a tarnished reputation that may or may not be deserved. She's also the little sister of Noah's best friend. Josie and Noah beyond attracted to one another and so off-limits to each other.
The last night before Noah leaves for the Marines brings them together for a wild ride. And it really is a steamy scene that shouldn't be missed! Things happen, words are said and this is one of the best set-ups for a new series that I can imagine. The March 8 release of Serving Trouble has been added to the Upcoming Releases page and I'll be anxiously waiting for the day! One-click this today so that you'll be ready and waiting too!

While the business world is slowly embracing the inclusion of more women in boardrooms, the number of women in leadership roles is still far from being on a par with their male counterparts.
The number of women in positions of leadership has increased and is showing signs of continuing the trend in every sector of business life.
But…what does it take to be a good leader in business?
Chelsey Baker, CEO & Founder of the National Mentoring Day and National Mentoring Awards, believes that great leaders know how to clearly and openly communicate; they are resilient and have a strong focus on their direction, goals and vision. They know how to delegate and are often great at encouraging and empowering others.
We have also asked her about women leaders and she agreed that they excel at collaboration; they are naturally nurturing bringing people with them and leading from the front, developing, inspiring and motivating others along the way.
Bonnie Lister Parsons, Founder & CEO of Seen on Screen, thinks that great leaders, particularly female leaders, know how to strike a balance between being inspiring and aspirational but crucially, relatable too.
"They are strong, but also strong enough to show vulnerability. They are not afraid to say: 'I see your struggle', 'I hear you'. Even though they're at an elevated level, somehow they're also right there with you leading a company, country or movement you believe in", she added.
Key things you need to know about women in business:
Women on boards and gender pay gap
Concern over the lack of women in decision making positions appears to be a trend globally, with many countries taking positive action to reverse these indicators.
FTSE 350 companies are on track to meet the 33% target for women on board roles by 2020.
Although we can see improvements it might take a while until we see equal representation on all the boards.
In terms of law firms' workforce, women in law make up 48% of all lawyers and 47% of the total workforce. However, when looking at positions of partner and above, the average goes down to 30% instead. At LawBite we pride ourselves to have more than 70% female lawyers at partner level in our team and we will pursue to try to empower women and inspire them to continue to grow within their professional career.
Nine out ten women work for a company that pays them less than men.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the gender pay gap has fallen to its lowest level yet. The average female employee now earns 8.6% less than the average man.
One of most the recent equal pay and unfair dismissal claims against a company, was the case of Sam Walker who was a company director in charge of HR at Co-op. She argued that she was dismissed after raising issues about her own pay and warning leaders within the company that there was discrimination because they were paying men and women at a different rate for the same roles. The tribunal ruled that the Co-op "directly discriminated against the claimant on the ground of sex". She said she is now determined to help other women with equal pay disputes.
A new UK Gender-Sensitive Parliament Audit, carried out by the members and staff of both Houses of Parliament, found that steady progress has been made increasing the representation of women. It found that the percentage of female MPs has risen from 18.2% to 32% since 1997 while the percentage of women in the House of Lords has increased from 7.1% to 26.1% in the same period.
Women mentoring
One of the most valued ways to build female leadership in the workplace is through mentorship because it is a crucial part for personal and professional development.
LawBite is an official sponsor of the National Women Mentoring Award at the National Mentoring Awards that took place on 1st March 2019, firming our commitment to mentoring and equality.
The awards are a national celebration to honour 'Mentoring Excellence' and give public recognition to individuals and organisations who mentor across all walks of life, whether in their business, community, personal or professional lives, founded by leading business mentor Chelsey Baker.
Paul Coleman, Chelsey Baker and Clive Rich at the National Mentoring Awards 2019
We have asked Chelsey about the main benefits of taking part in a mentoring programme, she said that mentoring is very important as it can allow people to unlock their potential and succeed at goals they never thought they could achieve. It can guide and support people to develop both personally and professionally giving them the confidence to try new things and move in new directions. Mentored employees feel more invested in, which helps increase productivity, loyalty and reduce staff turnover.
Being involved in a mentoring programme can accelerate the personal growth of the mentee by challenging them. Mentoring improves people's ability to resolve challenges and frustrations leaving them feeling more fulfilled. It builds a positive atmosphere where people feel supported which helps in challenging times. Other benefits include increase in confidence, access to networks, contacts, knowledge and guidance.
Bonnie Lister Parsons agreed saying: "There's a good saying – 'a problem shared is a problem halved'. Talking through business problems (or just business thoughts!) with someone who is an expert in your field is enormously helpful. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely, especially when you're shouldering the responsibility of running your own business, so having the guidance of a mentor who has been there and done it, can be invaluable."
Not everyone is fortunate to find mentors in their workplace, so it is key for companies to create mentoring programmes to help young women in their early stages of their careers to develop their leadership skills.

Persons seeking admission to the Prevention Science Graduate Program must submit their application by the admission deadline. Washington State University actively subscribes to a policy of equal educational and employment opportunity.
Preference is given to applicants whose prior academic record and other supporting material show a strong potential for graduate work. Supporting materials may include indications of strong commitment to prevention science, demonstrated ability to write, research experience, relevant volunteer and employment experiences, and cross-cultural background or other indications of social insight.
Persons desiring information about the Doctoral Program in Prevention Science should contact Dr. Brittany Rhoades Cooper, Prevention Science Program Graduate Coordinator. Information about the program is available on the Program Objectives and Requirements page.
This program is available to students who have completed a bachelor's or master's degree in a prevention science-related discipline or have significant prevention science experience.
Graduate Record Examination (G.R.E.) scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytic aptitude tests.
In the section of the online application entitled "Statement of Purpose" please provide a written statement detailing your: 1) reasons for applying; 2) research interests; 3) relevant research and professional experiences; and 4) career goals. Also list the faculty member(s) you are interested in working with. When listing faculty members, note their location, and only list faculty members at the location you are applying to. The Prevention Science program is offered at the Pullman, Spokane, and Vancouver campuses. A few faculty members are located at other locations; they can advise students at any of the three campuses.
If you are a WSU employee working at a research and extension center or at a county extension office, and plan to take your classes from your WSU place of employment, you can choose faculty members from any of the three campuses.
Admission to the graduate program in Prevention Science is determined by the Prevention Science Graduate Committee. Decisions are based on careful appraisal of the material submitted in the application process. Following is a list of considerations when making the selection for admittance to the program.
An undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale is required by the Graduate School.
Admittance to the Prevention Science Graduate program is competitive. Students admitted to the program typically have GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0.
The Graduate Committee considers letters of recommendation, GRE scores, the letter of intent, and other information relevant to the applicant's chances of successfully completing the Ph.D. program.
Performance in an advanced degree program elsewhere may be taken into account by the Graduate Committee.
The minimum undergraduate GPA requirement applies even in situations where an applicant with a lower GPA has been admitted to another graduate program, and/or has completed an advanced degree elsewhere. However, performance in an advanced degree program elsewhere may be taken into account by the Graduate Committee.
Substantive course work in prevention science related areas is strongly recommended (e.g., communication, educational psychology, human development, nursing, psychology, sociology), but an undergraduate major in one of these areas is not required. Transcripts will be reviewed carefully and the committee will make recommendations regarding coursework necessary prior to admission. The department requires the prospective student to have had a least one undergraduate course in research methodology. A course in basic statistics is highly recommended.
International Applicants: The recommendation to admit an international applicant into the Prevention Science Graduate Program is contingent upon clearing requirements administered by the Office of International Programs. These requirements include verification of financial support, visa status, and English proficiency (applicants from countries in which English is not the native language are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language [TOEFL]). Final clearance must be received from the Office of International Programs before a recommendation can be made to the Graduate School.
Application deadlines are occasionally changed. To be certain of the current deadlines, check with the Graduate School.

"THE industrial revolution was an affair of economics as well as of technology: it consisted of changes in the volume and distribution of resources, no less than in the methods by which
these resources were directed to specific ends. The two movements were, indeed, closely connected. Without the inventions industry might have continued its slow-footed progress--firms becoming larger, trade more widespread, division of labour more minute, and transport and finance more specialized and efficient--but there would have been no industrial revolution.
On the other hand, without the new resources the inventions could hardly have been made, and could never have been applied on any but a limited scale. It was the growth of savings, and of a readiness to put these at the disposal of industry, that made it possible for Britain to reap the harvest of her ingenuity.

Even today, social scientists and historians continue to treat the Industrial Revolution as if it were the beginning of the end of civilization.
What the essays in this book do is show the opposite. It was in many ways the beginning of a new civilization that permitted a high standard of living for the mass of the population, and resulted in longer and healthier lives. It was not characterized by coercion and social devastation but rather increased freedom and individual choice.
Subsequent research by later scholars confirmed the analysis you will find in these pages.
Hayek himself writes the long introduction. T.S. Ashton writes on ""The Treatment of Capitalism by Historians,"" L.M. Hacker exposes ""The Anticapitalist Bias of American Historians,"" and Bertrand de Jouvenel covers "The Treatment of Capitalism by Continental Historians."
T.S. Ashton picks up the argument again with a detailed account of "The Standard of Life of the Workers in England, 1790-1830," and W.H. Hutt writes the essay for which he is most famous: "The Factory System of thee Early Ninetheenth Century."


It has to be a miserable feeling if you're Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox. He is in a contract year and prior to the team's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were 0-1. Suffice it to say, he is coaching for his Panthers career.
That aside, the Panthers had diffciulty keeping Matt Moore upright; as a result, Moore was intercepted twice and sacked four times. On the flip side, the Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman wasn't great shakes, but was effective enouigh for Tampa Bay to shut down Carolina 20-7.
Despite the score, the game was all Tampa as Freeman tossed a 14-yard strike to Earnes tGraham, giving the Bucs a 7-0 lead nearly halfway in the first quarter. the Panthers did tie things up at 7 on a 37-yard Moore-to-Steve Smith TD pass 3:17 into the second period.
Freeman would throw another TD pass, this time a 35-yard pass to Mike Williams, which put the Buccaneers ahead 14-7.
The third and fourth quarters were rather anemic, scoring-wise, as a pair of field goals (24 and 33 yards, respectively) by Connor Barth cemented the victory for Tampa Bay.
Freeman was effective as he went 12-of-24 for 178 yards and a paiir of TDs while also rushing for 43 yards on just four carries. Moore, who would be replaced during the game by Jimmy Clausen, went just 6-of-16 for 125 yards with a TD and interception; Clausen wasn't much better, going 7-of-13 for 59 and a pick.
Carnell Williams led the Bucs' rushers with 51 yards while DeAngelo Williams led the Panthers with 54 yards on 17 carries while Jonathan Stewart rushed 8 times for 43 yards.
Kellen Winslow led all Tampa receivers with 4 receptions for 83 yards while Williams caught a pair for 54 yards and a TD. Steve Smith led the Carolina receivers with 3 catches for 66 yards and a TD while Dante Rosario caught 3 for 47 yards.
Tampa Bay (2-0) plays again next Sunday when they return home to host the Pittsburgh Steelers while Carolina (0-2) looks to get into the win column as they remain at home to host the Cincinnati Bengals – also next Sunday.

Il y a de nombreux types d'anpan, dont goma an (au sésame), shiro an (aux haricots blancs), uguisu an (aux haricots verts), kuri an (aux châtaignes), mais l'authentique anpan est fait avec l'anko de haricot azuki.

Histoire
L'anpan fut réalisé pour la première fois en 1875, durant l'ère Meiji, par Yasubei Kimura, un samouraï ayant perdu son travail lors de la montée au pouvoir de l'Armée impériale.
