It's so hard to believe that Christmas has been and gone. Here is just a quick post about our Christmas this year. Before Christmas, we took part in The Stable Trail 2015 at our local parish church.
It cost £1 per child and we were guided through an interactive nativity, meeting characters from the Christmas Story and following the star to find a very special baby.
Along the way, we did some craft, such as decorating our King Crowns.
Together, we learnt the true meaning of Christmas.
…and then the Stable, where we found Mary, Joseph and a very gorgeous baby Jesus.
We even met some Grandparents who taught us what Christmas means to them today. The girls were all given a Handmade Star Ornament from Nepal to remind them of the meaning of Christmas.
Our trail ended too late for us to take part in the donkey rides but we really enjoyed the nativity so it was a lovely morning anyway. There were also drinks and refreshments.
It was a very special Christmas activity and I hope it takes place again.
We also made our gingerbread house.
We watched our videos from Santa's Portable North Pole (PNP).
We read our letters from Santa- they were so lovely and personal as always. Our Town Hall does a good job organising Santa's post each year.
On Christmas Eve, we went to the crib service. Sadly, as the weather was bad it took place inside Church (we prefer it outside in the stable). My girls were chosen to carry up the sheep and Cerys carried up Joseph. Izzy said that she really wanted to carry Baby Jesus. I did worry that there would be tears, but thankfully, she carried her sheep with pride. She looked so sweet leading all of the older kids up the aisle.
We then went home and sprinkled our reindeer food in the garden.
We then ate a Christmas tea, put together by Dave and Danny while we were at the Crib Service- thank you to the men of the house!
The kids opened up their Christmas Eve Pyjamas and Lavender Bath Bombs (in the hope that it would help them sleep!). I noticed that Lush didn't sell their "Christmas Eve" bath bombs this year- they were amazing and always helped the kids (and me) sleep well.
We then put out a mug of milk, a mince pie and some gingerbread for Santa and also water and a carrot for Rudolph.
In bed, we read one of everyone's favourite Christmas stories and ended with "A Visit From St Nicholas" (T'was the Night Before Christmas).
Then the kids entered the room full of presents. It's so magical, even for the grown ups. it just all comes together somehow.
A wobbly toothed Caitlyn approaching her presents.
Rebecca, finds her pile, sack and stocking ( I love Danny's expression).
Lastly, Danny gets to his presents.
The kids open all their presents. There are excited cries as each one is opened, a pile of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes, presents to be taken out of the box, a flurry of screwdrivers and batteries, then a quick play. We then encourage the kids to get dressed so we can go to our first visit of the day, Nanny's house!
Four excited kids and a mummy on their way!
On the way, we met Nanny and Ceri and went to Dad's grave. He loved Christmas and would have loved it with his Grandchildren even more. It's so sad that the only way we can spend Christmas with him is to visit him here. Our last Christmas we had with him, we had no idea was the last. It's a timely reminder to treasure everyone that you know and love and spend Christmas with. We know that he'd want us to be happy and enjoy Christmas so that's what we go on and do, with our late Dad forever in our hearts.
At Nanny's there are more sacks full of presents to open – even for the adults too (which still surprises me every year).
There were even some big presents to share (a Playstation).
There were lots of cuddles and family love.
I love how Izzy checks that her Christmas sack is empty by practically getting inside it!
Then it was time for Christmas Dinner. Even though I'm vegetarian, I will always love Christmas Dinner (although minus the goose-fat and Turkey of course). I asked the kids on Christmas Eve what they were most looking forward to on Christmas Day. They said things like, seeing family and playing games together. I agreed with those reasons but added that I was really looking forward to Nanny's Duchess Potatoes! They were worth the wait!
I bought some Frozen "Wine" for the kids (very classy, I'm sure you'll agree!).
On every recent visit to Home Bargains, the kids had asked for it, so I had to sneak back late at night and pick some up as a treat for them!
One of my favourite things about the Christmas holidays is watching how the sibling relationships grow and develop. My older two have been through a lot together (including operations and hospital stays). Sometimes they argue a lot (mainly about One Direction, tidying toys up and anything perceived as "too girly") but at the end of the day they are best friends and always there for each other which I love to see.
The annual Christmas Day dinner pictures. We have these for every Christmas dinner since we've been old enough to take the photos. One day, I will have to put them all together.
One of the kids took this photo of Lexy!
Next we walked (as I'd had Christmas drinks- hiccup) up the hill to see Great Granny and Grampy, Granny and Grampy, Uncle Andy, Uncle Keith and John.
The middle girls laughed all of the way there, so sweet to see.
There were more presents to open. We are so lucky. Just the company of our lovely family would be enough but we are blessed with so many gifts too (as a random note: My dad built Dave's Grandparent's conservatory. So I always think of him when I am here too as well as when I am at Mum's house, which of course he also built).
I love this photo of Dave sitting by the hatch, making LEGO. I'm sure this was also a familiar sight at his grandparents many years ago too.
Rebecca loved her nail and tattoo set- she painted all our nails and glitter tattooed quite a few of us! We also got some group photos of the kids with their Great Grandparents (who definitely live up to the definition of "Great". Hopefully, I can share them when I get a copy.
It was then back to Nanny's for our Christmas evening. We usually walk back but Uncle Andy kindly gave us lifts in shifts (there are so many of us!).
Danny played his game with Ceri. It was the traditional game, "Shut The Box". Great, simple (mathematical) fun.
The kids then went to bed. Dave, Ceri, Lexy and I then played "Card's Against Humanity" which was both shocking and hilarious in equal measures. We laughed so hard, we could not breath- what a game!
The next day, Boxing Day, the kids wanted to go out on Danny's Stunt Mini BMX. They did "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to decide the first go.
They practised pedalling this mini sized bike, jumping and going down steps. I'm sure they'll be throwing stunts in no time.
Dave and I then drove (while I was still sober!) to Great Granny's to pick up all of our presents and then back to Nanny's for our Boxing Day Dinner and Tea.
Lots of games were played (with sweets and Christmas drinks). Christmas TV and films were enjoyed. Mum and I watched The Little Match Girl, which has always been a childhood favourite of mine. I cried my eyes out too much, I could barely sing the songs.
My favourite family game this Christmas was the Kazoo Game. Pick a card, play the tune and get points if your team can guess it. This was a hit with all.
Izzy then wandered in and tried to add guitar and vocals to the mix! She's so funny!
She also added dances to the mix too! I did worry that Izzy wouldn't be able to join in the game but she guessed some of the songs- especially the Pop Songs and TV Theme Tunes. I think that sometimes as my youngest, I really do forget how she is growing up so quickly and getting oh so clever. She will never fail to surprise me.
It was such a lovely Christmas, for which I will always be grateful as other years have not been so easy.
Now we're nearly onto New Years and then 2016 (which still sounds like a year "in the future" to me).
If I don't see you before then (hopefully I will), I hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you all the best for the New Year!

Aleks Krotoski explores what technology tells us about ouselves and the age we live in. In this first programme; is the digital world allowing us to be more altruistic than ever?
So can true altruism exist online? With all the stories of cyber-bullying and trolling it's very easy to forget the random acts of kindness that the technology also allows. Aleks explores some amazing stories of online altruism. But when no good deed goes unpublished and you can keep score of your goodness through 'followers', 'likes' and the accompanying boosts to ego and reputation is truly selfless altruism online an impossibility? And in the end, if good gets done does it matter?

I'm experimenting with ooma installation. I have it installed and working, but have a question about Scout and use of other non-scout phone jacks. Currently, I have a phone connected to my Ooma hub via the "Phone" port and it works. I also have the hub connected to a wall jack via the "Wall" port and then a scout connected to another wall jack in an office with a cordless phone base connected to the Scout. All three of the cordless phone handsets work. Great so far. However, when I connect another phone to a wall jack elsewhere in the house (no Scout involved), I cannot pick up an Ooma dial tone. Why do my non-Scout wall jacks not work and is it possible to use the Scout for one location and still get an Ooma dial tone at othe phone jacks in the house?
The hub and the Scout communicate via hpna across the wires. It isn't a direct phone connection.
If you want to make all of your phone jacks "live" you must connect the PHONE port of the ooma hub to the wall jack.
If you don't have landline phone service it is a good idea to disconnect the telco from your main house wiring at the telco box usually outside. This is usually just a matter of disconnecting a phone jack in the box.
This needs to be done for 2 reasons. First, it keeps stray voltage off the house wiring and second, it prevents you from back feeding your phone to the whole neighborhood!
Thank you, Wayne. I'll check the telco connection. I've had Comcast phone up to now. Is it likely the telco connection will already have been broken?
I doubt the telco connection is broken, the phone gets turned off at the phone company, but all wires stay connected. Always some kind of voltage present. I would look and see, just to make sure.
Ok, I've figured out how to connect the Hub to the house wiring. I also know how to connect the Scout and a phone or cordless set off that. Now I have a new question. Can I connect the Hub to the house wiring ("Phone" port on Hub to wall jack) while also connecting the Hub to the Scout ("Wall" port on Hub to wall jack). What I'm trying to achieve is being able to access the ooma line from any phone jack in the house while having the convenience of an answering machine setup (the Scout) in a downstairs office (the HUb and Cable Modem have to be in an upstairs location).
Could I do this with a simple phone jack splitter? Would I need a line splitter, so that the "Phone" port would be connected to Line 1 and the "Wall" port connected to Line 2?
Connecting both ports to line 1 will work as long as there is no DSL signal on the line. Many, me included, prefer to use line 2 to connect the wall port of the hub to the wall port of the scout. The phone port of the hub feeds line 1. Actually I have the hub scout connection on line 3, the hub on line 1 and the scout on line 2.


(Reuters) – Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) Elon Musk could settle with U.S. regulators who have sued to remove him from the electric carmaker's leadership, but he is prepared to fight the securities fraud lawsuit against him in court, sources said on Friday as shares plunged about 14 percent.
Musk, Tesla's chairman and chief executive, has been directly involved in almost every detail of its product development and technology strategy, and is credited as the driving force behind the loss-making company's ability to raise capital.
The cost of insuring Tesla debt against default rose to its highest price ever on Thursday and the plummeting share price attracted new short sellers, who bet against the stock. Short sellers notched $1.27 billion Thursday alone in paper profits, according to S3 Partners, which said Tesla recently regained the title of most-shorted U.S. stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Musk on Thursday of tweeting false and misleading information in August about financing for his now-abandoned plan to take the company private, and said it was seeking to remove him as an officer or director.
The Wall Street Journal on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that Musk believed he had a verbal deal for financing from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund to take Tesla private.
Aeisha Mastagni, a portfolio manager for the California State Teachers' Retirement System, a Tesla investor, said she was concerned about the board's ability to oversee Musk and the company and that she would welcome changes to Tesla's board.
"I think this board is insular, ripe with conflicts; it's the poster child for bad corporate governance," she said.
The board also lacks a director who could take over for Musk, said investment adviser Cornerstone Capital's research chief, John Wilson. "The problem for investors is that an investment in Tesla is an investment in Elon Musk," he said.
One person with knowledge of the SEC's thinking said on Friday that the SEC civil lawsuit or a potential settlement did not preclude further action by the Justice Department, which has a higher standard of proof to make a criminal case.
In a previous fraud case over blood-testing firm Theranos, the Justice Department brought criminal charges three months after the SEC announced its settlement with the company's founder Elizabeth Holmes.
"The SEC wouldn't delay its case for the DOJ," said Teresa Goody, CEO of law firm Goody Counsel and a former SEC attorney.
"I think it was a big mistake to turn down the settlement offer," CFRA analyst Garrett Nelson said.
Some analysts said the SEC's action was the beginning of a legal battle with authorities, short-sellers and other investors over Musk's actions that could cost Tesla heavily.
Shares fell 13.9 percent to $264.77, wiping about $7 billion off Tesla's market value.

BlueGriffon is a free WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor powered by Gecko, the rendering engine inside Firefox. Sensors are specialized electronic devices that detect changes in quantities such as temperature , electrical power levels, chemical concentrations, physical position, fluid flow, or mechanical properties like velocity or acceleration When a sensor responds to change, it usually requires a transducer to convert the quantity the sensor has measured into electrical signals that are translated into printouts, electronic readouts, recordings, or information that is returned to the device to control the change measured. Specialized resistors and capacitors are sometimes used as combined sensors and transducers. Variable resistors respond to mechanical motions by changing them to electrical signals. The thermistor varies its resistance with temperature; a thermocouple also measures temperature changes in the form of small voltages as temperatures are measured at two different junctions on the thermocouple. Usually, sensors produce weak electronic signals, and added circuits amplify these. But sensors can be operated from a distance and in conditions such as extreme heat or cold or contaminated environments where working conditions are unpleasant or hazardous to humans.

The body loses water through urine, sweat and physiological functions such as digestion. Even a modest restriction in water intake can decrease your total water volume and impact your health. A mild fluid decline of 2 percent can impact your ability to concentrate, according to the June 2003 issue of the "European Journal of Clinical Nutrition." Severe dehydration makes it hard for your organs to function and impairs your brain, kidneys and cardiovascular system. Symptoms of dehydration include low urine output, lethargy, no tears, dry mouth and sunken eyes. Clearly virtualisation is here to stay. In fact, it never left. Virtualisation technologies date from the 1960s. Hypervisors were developed at that time. As with all things IT, what goes around, comes around. IBM, which pioneered virtualisation back in the 1960's for its mainframe systems, also punched its ticket to ride the XEN train. They announced recently that the company would support XEN on its server and blade platforms that run on Intel and AMD processors, and that its middleware will also support the virtualisation technology.
Solar power can be used for more than just generating residential electricity. These 10 creative solar energy applications show the extent of renewable energy technology. As noted earlier, 5 makes it easier for developers to build applications for both web and cloud. Visual Studio 2015 replaces the web.config file with a new environment configuration system. So these projects can be configured for cloud-deployment from the beginning. The new environment configuration system allows developers to request named values from XML, JSON, environment variable and other sources. The developers can specify the values for each environment, and check the accuracy of values after deployment. At the same time, they can also use the diagnostic and tracing tools to identify the factors affecting the application's performance in the cloud. Have you noticed that this is the kind of stuff that's going on in many young people's lives today? This is what we read about in the news when we hear that a young person started shooting innocent people in a movie theater, in a mall, or in a school. They have been nourishing resentment and harboring murderous thoughts, and eventually they came to the point when they carried them out. Among COVID-19 studies, one using data from wrist-worn smart devices showed that heart rate and respiratory rate began to rise at least five days before the onset of symptoms. And heart rate variability , which is the beat-to-beat variation of the heart's rhythm, decreased. Depending upon the ingredients and how much volume a person consumes, energy drinks may cause adverse physical symptoms. According to the NCCIH, energy drinks are known to cause rapid heartbeat and blood pressure increases. People may experience irregular heart rhythms, which are sometimes dangerous. Hardness of metals with low strength can be improved by alloying, strain-hardening and heat treatment processes. Almost all metals which are used for construction functions are not used in their pure state but as alloys. The reason for alloying, which is the mixture between a base element and other minors is to improve the mechanical strength of the metal. Strain-hardening process is also done to increase strengths of metals. It hinders dislocation movement in materials. In heat treatment, metals are subjected to high temperature and slowly or rapidly cooled to improve strength. Heat treatments include quenching, annealing, tempering, normalizing and others.

I haven't talked at all about the Mabira riots, despite the fact that half of every newspaper printed in Uganda in the last two weeks has been dedicated to them. Sorry, 27th Comrade. Didn't mean to disappoint.
I want to write instead about what no one — absolutely no one — has been talking about: the latest spate of attacks and raids in northern Uganda.
Yesterday a friend from Gulu asked if I'd heard about what happened this month in Attiak: an ambush that left 8 dead and 45 injured. Nope, hadn't heard about that.
What about the abductions in Paicho? Nope. The attack on a camp in Kitgum? No. Awac? Palaro? No and no.
So I got online today to see what had happened. Turns out, according to both Ugandan and international media, nothing. None of these were reported anywhere. The only thing I could find was a blog entry from a team of Dutch documentary filmmakers that corroborated some of what I'd heard.
I get it, sort of. Negotiations between the government and the LRA are scheduled to resume tomorrow, and reporting increased instability in northern Uganda isn't the best way to instill faith in the peace process. Still — I'm surprised that no one has picked up on this.
In other news: Somalia's gone to hell. Oh. And Boris Yeltsin's dead.

Iconic Yeats painting becomes part of national collection
A work by one of Ireland's best-known artists, Jack B. Yeats, has become part of the national collection at the National Gallery of Ireland.
Bachelor's Walk, In Memory has been purchased by the Gallery with the special and generous support of the Government of Ireland and key contributions from several donors.
The painting depicts an incident in Dublin city centre in 1914 in which a detachment of the King's Own Scottish Borderers opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators. Three people were killed (a fourth later died) and over 35 were injured. Earlier on the day in question, soldiers, and officers of the Dublin Metropolitan Police and Royal Irish Constabulary had intercepted Volunteers and members of Na Fianna transporting a consignment of rifles and ammunition that had arrived at Howth earlier on board the yacht The Asgard. News filtered back to Dublin, where a hostile crowd accosted the soldiers on their return to barracks.
Yeats painted just a handful of pictures that addressed contemporary politics or current affairs directly. Bachelor's Walk, In Memory is one of the most striking and important of these.
The artist did not witness the event but was evidently deeply affected by it. He visited the following day and based the painting on a sketch he produced on the spot. He noted 'a bullet hole in shop window' and recorded that 'a few paces further towards O'Connell bridge flower girls had thrown flowers'.
The painting was not seen publicly until 1922, when it featured alongside other works by Yeats at the 'Exposition d'Art Irlandais' in Paris. The work has been on long-term loan to the Gallery for the past twelve years. It has now been purchased by the Gallery with the support of the Government of Ireland and private donors. The acquisition of such an important political work during the Decade of Centenaries is particularly significant.
Bachelor's Walk, In Memory is on display in the National Gallery of Ireland's Millennium Wing. Entry to the national collection is free for all to learn and be inspired.

Home Finance Got RBI nod for Gruh Finance merger: Bandhan Bank
Got RBI nod for Gruh Finance merger: Bandhan Bank
Bandhan Bank on Friday said it has received "no objection" from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for the proposed merger of Gruh Finance with it.
"…we would like to inform that the Reserve Bank has by its letter dated March 14, 2019, conveyed its no objection for the voluntary amalgamation of Gruh Finance Ltd into and with Bandhan Bank, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions therein," the lender said in a regulatory filing.
In January, the city-headquartered Bandhan Bank said its board of directors had approved the merger of India's leading housing finance company, with a focus on the affordable housing segment, into the bank.
The merger would help the bank to achieve product and geographic diversification while improving penetration in its core customer segment. On the other hand, the housing finance company would get access to a wider distribution network, a larger customer base and low-cost deposit base of the bank.
Post-merger, the shareholding of Bandhan Financial Holdings Ltd in the bank would reduce from 82.3 per cent to 61 per cent.
The share exchange ratio accepted by the boards of two entities was 568 equity shares of face value of Rs10 each of Bandhan Bank to be issued for every 1,000 equity shares of face value of Rs.2 each of Gruh.
Shares of Bandhan Bank on Friday closed at Rs 511.05 a piece, down by 0.45 per cent on the BSE.

Gustan is an orderly type family for a wide range of applications. Throughout the design process, all idiosyncratic decisions were informed by ideas around structure and utility. The fact that certain character combinations align in a particular way is more about bringing order and harmony to the word as opposed to a 'stylistic' trait. Further, Gustan's openness is a response to the requirements for smaller settings as opposed to the desire to achieve a 'modern' tone. Focusing on these functional concerns frees up Gustan as much as it defines, making it flexible and expressive in application to a designer's desire.

Q: When fputs is used directly for writing character array in a file, a different format of text is stored When I used fputs() to directly store a character array in a file, it stored this in the file:
ÈLwìþ(

Why was that?
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *p;
    p=fopen("pa.txt","w+");
    char name[100];
    printf("Enter a string :");
    fputs(name,p);
    fclose(p);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

When I take input in name using scanf() or gets(), the correct text is stored but when directly use fputs() is used it stored in an unusual format.
Why does this happen?

A:
When I take input in name using scanf() or gets() correct text is
  stored but when directly fputs() is used it stored in unusual format.
  Why this happens ?

Accessing uninitialized variable p is undefined behaviour as its value indeterminate as per C standard. There's no explanation for why it happens. Just don't do that.
6.7.9 Initialization, (C11 draft)

If an object that has automatic storage duration is not initialized
  explicitly, its value is indeterminate.

And indeterminate is defined as:

3.19.2 indeterminate
  value either an unspecified value or a trap representation

Note that function gets() has been removed from the recent C standard (C11) and it has never been a safe anyway due to its buffer overflow issues.

A:
When I take input in name using scanf() or gets() correct text is stored but when directly fputs() is used it stored in unusual format. Why this happens ?

You haven't read the data from stdin before writing it out using fputs.
Use:
fgets(name, sizeof(name), stdin);

and then:
fputs(name, p);

A: You have opened char array but you haven't used it. Analyze the code you will understand.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char name[100];

    FILE *p;

    p=fopen("pa.txt","w+");

    if(!p) {
        perror("Error writing");
        return -1;
    }

    printf("Enter a string :");
    scanf("%s",name);
    fputs(name,p);

    fclose(p);

    return 0;
}

Cultural Transformation in the Geoscience Community (CTGC)
Supports the development of a just, equitable and inclusive geoscience research community via projects that are based on education scholarship, mentorship, allyship, equity, anti-racist and anti-harassment practices, and increasing accessibility.
Our future sustainability and prosperity will require a transdisciplinary geoscience workforce that reflects the nation's diversity and has the capacity to develop innovative solutions necessary to meet future environmental and societal challenges. The Geosciences Directorate (GEO) proposes a novel approach to simultaneously address two major challenges that require immediate action, (1) foster a just, equitable and inclusive geoscience research community that reflects the diversity of the United States and (2) develop a workforce with the skills required to understand how the Earth system can continue to sustain society. Cultural Transformation in the Geoscience Community (CTGC) responds to the desire of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds to make a difference in their world and supports the creative power of truly diverse groups to make major strides in Earth System Science in service of humanity. CTGC aims at engaging institutions that support Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+, and other individuals from marginalized/ minoritized groups, to help promote career advancement, and advance Earth system science. CTGC builds on tenets of NSF programs like GOLD (Geoscience Opportunities for Leadership in Diversity), ADVANCE and NSF INCLUDES that lead to environments that foster inclusion and belonging. The program will support projects that are based on geoscience education scholarship, mentorship, allyship, equity, anti-racist and anti-harassment practices, and increasing accessibility. CTGC projects will establish sustainable and long-term STEM learning and research ecosystems that connect individuals' academic training with informal and work-based training opportunities through strong collaborative relationships and career-pathway mapping among schools, informal learning environments, local communities, private sector partners, and university and research partners. The program will support planning grants and implementation projects. Planning grants are intended to build capacity in the geoscience community to undertake the activities necessary to establish place-based and community-driven Earth system research projects. Implementation projects will build cohorts of individuals at specific career stages that will design inclusive research programs, conduct community engagement to identify research needs, or participate in community-driven research projects. CTGC projects will promote innovative approaches to Earth system sciences and will foster authentic and equitable collaborations between scientists and community members with the goal of addressing issues that contribute to the sustainability of the community.

The holiday of Love is here once again. Here's a little history and though I sure don't know the specific facts on that...I do know that Valentine Day's adds a little more expense your wallet. So if you haven't yet...get to celebrating this day of Love. Whatever your plans.... enjoy! We just want to send our valentine greeting. H A P P Y V A L E N T I N E' S D A Y !
Valentine's Day may be beloved by romance-flushed individuals keen to express their passion, and by retailers for the massive windfalls of cash it generates ($18.2 billion in the US this year) in cards, toy bears, and items adorned with hearts, but for others-the single among us, for example-it's a painful reminder of the primacy society gives to couples, and an exercise in hollow consumption.
If you're in the latter group, it might be worth noting that whatever you are going through this Valentine's Day, it's probably not as bad as what Saint Valentine went through on the day the holiday commemorates.
Valentine, a Christian priest in the Roman empire, was beaten, stoned, and finally, decapitated on Feb. 14 roughly 1,700 years ago in Rome, according to hazy accounts that have been passed down through history.
Some versions of the legend say Valentine's crime was performing marriages for young Christian men and women in an age that favored open relationships. Young marriage was also frowned on because it was seen as making fighting men less tough. Valentine may also have attempted to convert people, and even the then-emperor Claudius II, to Christianity. One version of his story says that Valentine healed his jailor's daughter of blindness when he was in prison awaiting execution (in other versions, it's the daughter of a judge.) Before being taken out to die, he wrote the girl a note signed "your Valentine." Romantic? Not so much.
The history around the man himself is incomplete, comprising more than one person-St. Valentine of Terni and St. Valentine of Rome-who may or may not have been the same. Even the date of his death is unclear-various versions say it took place in 269, 270, 273, or 280 AD.
Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honor of St. Valentine's martyrdom in 496 AD. By this point, Christianity had moved from subversive fringe group to the main religion of the Roman empire. Some historians believe that Valentine's Day was instated in order to suppress the pagan ritual of Lupercalia, a fertility rite in which single young men and women were paired off in a type of sexual lottery.
Not all saints came to such a violent end, but violence and martyrdom-one route to sainthood-do rather go hand-in-hand, as a full list of martyred saints shows.
According to Catholic Online, St. Valentine is patron saint of engaged couples, happy marriages, love, lovers, and young people, but also of plague, travelers, epilepsy, fainting, greetings-and bee keepers.
Have a great day. Be Blessed.


I've taken so many pictures this weekend that I don't know which ones to post. My walk by the river was uneventful today but it was the most beautiful spring day. I wish we had scratch&sniff computers, and then I could post the scent of the air. Just gorgeous. I have taken to walking without my MP3 player - somehow it sharpens my other senses if I'm not plugged in - and I hear the music in my head anyway.
My walk yesterday was much more adventurous as I went and explored an old vacant house that I've been meaning to check out for a long time.
This amused me. I wonder where these steps once led?
The old dunny. I didn't want to get too close, in case there was a snake in there!
I'll post more pics tomorrow, of the inside of the house.
One last photo for today, which suggests that the next project I work on should be a needlebook for myself.

Aircraft Helicopters
How Much Does a Helicopter Weigh? (Civilian vs. Police vs. Military)
Helicopters come in all sizes, ranging from massive aircraft that can carry large numbers of people to small one-seat-only choppers too.
With such a wide range of sizes, a helicopter can weigh anywhere between 600 lbs/ 275 kg/ 0.275 tonnes to 123,400 lbs/ 56,000 kg/ 56 tonnes.
How Much Does a Helicopter Weigh? (By Type of Helicopter)
As mentioned, helicopters can weigh anywhere from 600 lbs/ 275 kg/ 0.275 tonnes to 123,400 lbs/ 56,000 kg/ 56 tonnes.
The reason for such a wide range is because helicopters are used for numerous purposes.
Helicopters can be classified according to the five following weight categories.
Ultra-light: Ultra light helicopters weigh up-to 254 lbs/115 kg/ 0.115 tonnes when empty
Light : Light helicopters have a maximum gross weight up-to 3,500 lbs/1,590 kg/ 1.590 tonnes
Intermediates: Intermediate helicopters have a maximum gross weight up-to 7,000 lbs/ 3,180 kg/ 3.18 tonnes
Mediums: Helicopters classified as mediums have a maximum gross weight up-to 12,500 lbs/ 5,670 kg/ 5.67 tonnes
Heavies: Helicopters known as heavies have a maximum gross weight exceeding 12,500 lbs/ 5,670 kg/ 5.67 tonnes
Do Civilian, Police or Military Helicopters Weigh More?
The weight of a helicopter depends on its onboard equipment as well as the aircraft's intended use.
For example, the gross weight of a transport helicopter will usually be higher than that of a passenger helicopter.
Military helicopters typically have the highest gross weights, since they are designed to carry the most equipment and personnel.
Police helicopters are the lightest, since they're fast-moving and carry minimal passengers and equipment.
Civilian helicopters are less heavy than military ones, but heavier than police ones.

Things To Do On Islay: Best Attractions on Scotland's Whisky Island
June 25, 2019 Travel & Resorts Destination Guides Europe
There are plenty of things to do on Islay beyond the classic Scottish whisky tour. While Islay is the beating heart of of Scotland's whisky world, there are plenty of other attractions and experiences to enjoy once you've fatigued from distillery hopping.
Before arriving on the island it's best to learn how to properly pronounce Islay. The island is regularly mispronounced by visitors (along with many of its tricky to say distillery names). Locals will be surprised and delighted if you manage to pronounce Islay correctly: eyeluh.
Spring and summer is the best time of year to visit Islay.

Islay is one of the southernmost islands of the Inner Hebridean Islands located on Scotland's west coast. The famous Scottish whisky island is just 25 miles long and 15 miles wide, easily explored in 2-3 days.
Visitors can get to Islay by car ferry or plane. We suggest renting a car to get around Islay as the majority of the island is rustic and rural. The majority of the roads on the island are one track but since the population is just 3,000 you'll never find yourself stressed from rush hour.

Today, there are a total of nine working Islay distilleries that are open to the public. The whisky distilleries on Islay are clustered around three areas of the island: Port Askaig, Port Ellen and the north west region near Bowmore.
Islay is without a doubt the beating heart of Scotland's whisky scene. As the popularity of Scotch has dramatically risen in the last decade so has the tourism experience at Islay's distilleries. Locals will tell you just a few years ago tourists would just knock on the door at a distillery to ask for an informal tour and tasting.
Today, Islay's distilleries are fashioning themselves to offer unforgettable educational experiences for those who take the journey to sniff, swirl and sip Scotch. Several of the island's distilleries are currently investing millions into renovating their properties to accomodate new visitors centres and tasting rooms.
If you're a die hard Single Malt Scotch fan, try and plan your visit in late May when the island hosts the annual Festival of Malt and Music, known locally as Fèis Ìle.
Visit Kilarrow Church in Bowmore.
Bowmore's famous "round church" began construction in 1767. The ancient Scottish church sits perched over Bowmore's Main Street for all to see. A year after its construction, work began on a planned village which greatly expanded the existing settlement.
Kilarrow Church has a highly unusual circular design, later copied by churches built in the 1960s. Legend has it that the circular design was intended to ensure that there were no corners inside where the devil could hide.
At the heart of Bowmore's Kilarrow Round Church is a massive central pillar, measuring 19 inches in diameter and made of solid oak. Later, in 1830, a U-shaped gallery was added to accommodate a rapidly increasing parish population.
Today, Islay's most famous church has a congregation of 80 people who meet here at 10am each Sunday.
Things to do on Islay: Buy quality Scottish fashions at Islay Woollen Mill.
Bridgend, 44-1496-810563
The Islay Woollen Mill was first established in 1883. Since its re-opening in 1981, owners Gordon and Sheila Covell produce a wide range of textile products such as rugs, scarves, caps, tweed jackets and kilts. The Mill is a traditional family-run business using two looms that date back to Victorian times.
Fun fact for fashion and film fans: Islay Woollen Mill's designs were featured in Hollywood films Brave Heart, Forrest Gump, Rob Roy and Far and Away. Royals have also been spotted here on their Islay holidays. Queen Elizabeth, Princess Anne and Prince Charles have all enjoyed visits to Islay's famous mill.
Explore the island's unique history at Museum of Islay Life.
Daal Terrace, 44-1496-850358
The island's only museum is located in Port Charlotte and covers Islay's social and natural history. The Museum of Islay Life was established in 1977 and is housed in the Kilchoman Free Church of 1843.
The museum's mandate is to conserve and display items illustrative of life in Islay from prehistoric to recent times. The museum's collection is made up of 2,700 objects, over 1,200 books and nearly 5,000 photographs.
Parts of the museum have been organized to resemble traditional Islay rooms, such as a humble bedroom. You'll also find an original telephone exchange, model ships, ancient carved stones, military uniforms and an illicit whisky still.
Visit one of Scotland's most important archaeological sites, Finlaggan Trust.
The Cottage, 44-1496-840644
A short drive south-west of Port Askaig lies Loch Finlaggan, a place of great importance in Scottish history. Inside the lake you'll find three islands, two of which lie close to the north shore, and play home to crumbling ancient stone buildings.
It is here where the inauguration of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles took place. The Lords of the Isles were descended from Somerland, a 12th century prince, who chose Finlaggan as their home.
The National Museums of Scotland have been undertaking archaeological excavations here for the past few years. The goal is to better understand the medieval economy, vegetation and unique feasts held at Finlaggan by the Lords of the Isles.
Stare in awe at Kildalton Cross, one of the United Kingdom's most famous Celtic artifacts.
East of Port Ellen, past Islay's famous Ardbeg distillery, you'll find the ruin of Kildalton Old Parish Church. Standing in the churchyard is the famous Kildalton Cross, one of the United Kingdom's most impressive 8th-century Celtic crosses.
The Kildalton Cross stands 2.65 metres high and is made from a single piece of local green stone. The cross is assumed to have been carved at the end of the 700s. The preservation of the historic cross is mind boggling, as it has been exposed to Islay's wet and windy weather for over twelve centuries.
The east face of the cross features a series of bible characters and scenes such as angels, David killing the lion, and pretty peacocks eating grapes. On the left hand arm look closely and you'll find a scene depicting Cain murdering his brother Abel. The right arm shows the sacrifice of Isaac. Below the ring which links the cross's arms together is a depiction of the Virgin and Child flanked by a choir of angels.
Beer aficionados enjoy sips at Islay Ales, the island's only craft brewery.
Islay Ales is the only brewery on the Isle of Islay. It was founded in 2003 by Paul Hathaway, Paul Capper and Walter Schobert. The trio focus of crafting quality ales for the Hebridean islands of Islay, Jura and Colonsay.
The popular Islay brewery is located near Islay House and shares a parking lot with a quilt maker and other artisans. Islay Ales is a four barrel brewing plant that produces craft beer in cask and bottle conditioned formats. You'll never find a beer here that has been pasteurized or filtered. The Islay brewery's flagship Big Strand Craft Lager can be enjoyed at many of the island's top restaurants, bars and pubs.
Enjoy a scenic walk on the beach at Machir Bay.
If finding a beautiful beach is on your list of things to do on Islay, be sure to enjoy a short walk to Machir Bay. Located on the rugged northwest coast of Islay, Machir Bay is accessed by a small rural road a short drive from Kilchoman Distillery.
Also referred to as Kilchoman Beach, Machir Bay is easy accessible with a petite parking lot close by. Visitors can enjoy strolling along two kilometres of sandy beach and a picturesque bay ideal for watching sunsets. On the south end you'll find a trail going up the cliffs to Kilchiaran Bay, passing Dun Chroisprig, an Iron Age fort, and Grannies Rock.
Enjoy seal watching in Portnahaven.
Portnahaven is located on the very southern tip of northwest Islay. The wee village was built during the 16th century as a hub for fishing and crofting.
Today, visitors drive to Portnahaven to photograph the town's picturesque bay, which offers views of the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse, built in 1825. Animal lovers should be sure to stroll along the rocky shore as this is where the local seals come during the day to sunbath and play.
Sheep farms can be found dotted across the island.
If you're road tripping around Islay you'll enjoy watching thousands of sheep munching fresh grass across the island.
Known in Scottish Highland history as the "sheep of the Clearances," when the island's 18th century landowners found raising large flocks of sheep more profitable than the rents of small farmers, the Cheviot sheep is a hallmark of Islay's farms today.
Things to do on Islay: Hike to Carraig Fhada Lighthouse near Port Ellen.
Travellers arriving into Islay on the Port Ellen ferry sail past a lighthouse tower that sits perched on a rocky headland. The lighthouse tower was originally built in 1832 by the Laird of Islay, Walter Frederick Campbell in loving memory of his wife who died at the age of 36 the same year. Carraig Fhada Lighthouse has an unusual square design, the only of its kind in Scotland.
A trail leads from the shore out onto the headland and directly to the base of the lighthouse. The path can be submerged at high tide so plan your visit accordingly. Carraig Fhada Lighthouse is not usually open to visitors so admire it from a distance. The best time of day to visit Islay's famous lighthouse is at sunset. When the last rays of sun hit the white walls of the lighthouse they appear to glitter and gleam.
Meet and greet with friendly hairy coo on the hike to the American Monument.
Islay's American Monument was built on a 429 feet high cliff on the Oa Peninsula in 1920 by the American Red Cross. Designed by architect Robert Walker, the monument commemorates the loss of two troop ships in 1918, the Tuscania and the Otranto. The American Monument overlooks the very spot where the Tuscania originally sank. If you're an enthusiastic hiker and have a penchant for jaw-dropping views, it's one of the best things to do on Islay.
Things to do on Islay: Enjoy jaw-dropping views at the Mull of Oa.
The monument is built in the shape of a lighthouse and can be reached via a half hour walk through a pretty meadow, dotted with hairy coo (Highland cattle). While a visit to the American Monument offers a somber history lesson, the scenic views of the cliffs at Mull of Oa will take your breath away.
Take a day trip to the isle of Jura.
Jura is a popular day trip from Islay, accessible on a short ferry through Port Askaig on the east coast.
One of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century once called Jura home sweet home. Orwell travelled to Jura to find the peace and quiet he needed to complete his most famous work, 1984.
The untamed island is one of the wildest places in Scotland, featuring soaring mountains, whisky distilleries and a swirling whirlpool. Jura's population is just 200, who are wildly outnumbered by the over 5,000 wild deer that live here.

Balmoral Hotel Afternoon Tea: Best High Tea in Edinburgh

By Devin Jones


It was a quite Sunday morning. I was sitting in my favorite chair enjoying a cup of green tea along with the daily dose of newspaper humor when my phone rang. It was Asha. She sounded upset. I calmed her down and asked her the cause for her rage. I had known Asha for several years now. She was calm, collected and a smart person. Hence I was surprised to hear her tone on phone.
She shared that her manager had called and he was agitated. It was about an email that she had sent a day before. Her second level supervisor, the CEO, had contacted Asha just when she was about to leave for the day. He had been trying to contact her manager but could not reach him. He wanted a status report urgently. Asha had promised to take her teenage son out that evening. She grudgingly stayed back, updated the report and sent it to him with copy to her manager and her colleague who had helped her to put together that report.
In her email she wrote, "as per our discussion this evening, please find attached the status report". Her manager had received a terse email from the CEO asking for his analysis. From her email the CEO assumed that the report was prepared solely by Asha. She had failed to mention the contributions of her manager and her colleague.
I asked her to meet me in the evening.
1. What is the purpose of the communication?
2. Who are the target audience?
4. What is the preferred communication culture in the organization?
In the situation described above Asha knew what the CEO wanted and she did well by including all the target audience and the stakeholders in the address field, however she failed to appreciate the communication culture in the organization. The CEO preferred that only his direct reports write to him. She had not followed that unwritten rule.
With practice she started developing the habit of asking these questions before any communication. Whenever she would not have answers to these she would go back and seek clarification. This one change moved her closer to becoming better at the Art and Science of Leadership.


Squirrels are proof that Heaven has a sense of humor.
I've heard of Boy Bands and Garage Bands. I'm still trying to decide what sort of music a ball band would play. Or maybe you're just stringing us along.
Okay critters… You're treading on thin ice. Plastic trash/recycling, fine. Anything connected to yarn? Back off, buster.
I knew one of those critters would catch the "yarn bug" sooner or later.
All creatures great and small luv yarn.
Is it really so surprising that animals around your place would catch the yarn bug? And I'm sure my Pepper would love a bit of yarn, though these days she seems to like to chew on shoes.
