Enjoy "Switzerland's 50 Loveliest Gardens and Parks"
Preserving the country's natural heritage is right up the Swiss Heritage Society's alley and what better way to do that than to entice people out into nature to show them what's on offer. A Baroque garden, a large landscaped park, a varied urban square: Swiss gardens offer charming diversity. In honor of the Year of the Garden in 2016, last year Swiss Heritage profiled fifty of these special spaces in a newly-revised, 2nd edition of Swiss Heritage's guide to the "Loveliest Gardens and Parks in Switzerland". The 120-page, pocket-sized, French/German brochure is full of practical information including symbols indicating what's to be found in each park: a coffee or a place to play, a particular natural setting or a spectacular view. The booklet can be ordered online at CHF 16.- for non-members and CHF 8.- for members of Swiss Heritage. Visiting one of the 50 gardens featured in this booklet promises you a journey into a new world of expertise, imagination and discovery. Who knows? You might even come away with tips and inspiration for your own garden. ♣

Bleach Brave Souls: Best 6-Star Characters [2022]
January 2, 2022 April 13, 2021 by niceguy
Bleach Brave Souls is an excellent game based on the expansive and famous universe of the acclaimed manga and anime series. Since the show has dozens of unique characters with their dedicated fan bases and the fact that the game is free-to-play naturally implies that the game follows a 'hero' format. And that implication is true as it not only features many unique heroes to unlock, they're also separated by a star system that determines how powerful they will be.
So, with so many different characters available to choose from, it can be very time consuming to learn which ones are truly worth the effort. Especially since getting to 6 stars is no joke and takes a lot of time and effort. Luckily for you, we're here to answer that question for you and talk about the best 6 star characters in Bleach Brave Souls! So, let's get started.
1. Fierce Battle Ichigo Kurosaki – 6-Star Character
The main character of the franchise being on number 1 is something that you'd expect to see in the anime/manga itself rather than the video game, but Bleach Brave Souls somehow manages to incorporate that idea. So, the best 6 star character in the game is Ichigo Kurosaki because he has a really good list of strong attacks, his frenzy is very useful, and his specials have a smaller cool-down window than some of the other high-damaging characters.
It can definitely come off as a surprise considering the fact that he's not a flashy or seasonal character, but we highly recommend giving him a shot – especially if you have the opportunity to pick up a 6 star character to start off with.

2. Fierce Battle Kenpachi – 6-Star Character
The fifth anniversary has been an eventful time for the game but Kenpachi still stands out as one of the best characters that have been added to the game recently. He has very fun gameplay and is one of the highest-damaging characters in the game and his special is very great to use too.
What sets him apart is the fact that if you use his special, it resets his cool-down meter for smaller attacks which can be extremely helpful against bosses and hordes of enemies. And if used strategically, it's a great tactic to be used against other players too.

3. Ichigo Kurosaki – Final Getsugatensho Version – 6-Star Character
Fusing with the Getsugatensho form has always been one of the coolest things that Ichigo has gone through in the Bleach series and it has given him immense power too – so it's only natural that the video game incorporates this aspect too. Fortunately, he's a very good character who has consistently remained very useful even after several balance patches and has 802 SP points which is pretty high.
He has great frenzy too like the other Ichigo and he also has weakness properties in some of his attacks which allows him to control enemies and crowds better than most others. He's an all-rounder character that is most certainly more than meets the eye and it's very useful to have a character this powerful in terms of progression.

4. Spirit Society Byakuya Kuchiki – 6-Star Character
Byakuya plays as well as he looks in this unique design since he has a diverse set of attacks that range from close-ranged to long-ranged and even full-screen attacks that cover everything that is around the player at a given time. His frenzy is pretty good and he also has properties of freezing his enemies so it's always a great touch to have an extra elemental which you can use to incapacitate your enemies.

5. Machine Society Riruka Dokugamine – 6-Star Character
She has very good attacks that are useful for almost every type of gameplay situation that you can find yourself into, and her potion abilities allow her to go an extra mile in being a good pick for players who need those sorts of attributes in their pick.
One of the best things about her is undoubtedly the fact that she's very good at crowd control even though she might not look like a tank character – but it's one of the lessons that Bleach teaches us, which is to never judge someone based on their appearance as there can always be much more to them than just that. And her support capabilities are pretty good too due to the aforementioned abilities that she possesses.

6. Technique Attribute Rukia Kuchiki – 6-Star Character
Rukia is extremely good in the game and is often referred to as an all-rounder character due to just how many tools that she has. Not only is she extremely damaging as a character, there is great variation to how the player can approach to play as her. There is a beam attack that covers a circular section around her, there is a bigger attack that covers even more area, and lastly there is a full-screen attack as well which is absolutely great for crowd control.
She also has great frenzy and freezing capabilities which allows her to add even more damage to the mix since the slowed down enemies can be attacked again with less risk of being hit back – and it's more useful than it might sound like. Not to mention the fact that her stamina is sitting at 1094 which is insanely high for any character in the game.

7. Koga Kuchiki – 6-Star Character
Right after Rukia Kuchiki, we have yet another Kuchiki who goes by the name of Koga. He has a great list of attacks that are all useful for different situations and one of the things that set him apart is that he is one of the characters that are on the flashier side. This means that his animations are nothing short of eye-candy and when something like that is combined with genuinely good gameplay, it's certainly a major selling-point for the character.
His attacks range from smaller ranged attacks which are up-close and personal, while some of the other attacks cover a much larger radius which is excellent for crowd control. And all of this is further complemented by the fact that some of his attacks include freeze properties – so that means he can deal even more damage to his enemies thanks to this ability.
8. Christmas Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck – 6-Star Character
A bit of a change from the other characters on the list who are mostly brutes – Nelliel keeps the high-damage that some of the other characters have but is known for her speed which is listed as an attribute for her everywhere due to how efficient she is with it. Couple that with 1094 stamina and a solid 623 attack power and you have a pretty good character.
Her special moves are pretty useful and her recharge time is quite decent too compared to some of the other characters. And on top of everything, she inflicts freeze properties to the enemies so you'll have an added advantage for crowd control.
That's a wrap on our list for the best 6 star characters in Bleach Brave Souls! We hope you found the perfect pick which is best suited for your playstyle. Keep in mind that future patches and character inclusions might change this list – but these characters are the best of the best at the given time.

2012: Do you think it'll happen?
I know this will spark a HUGE argument in a matter of hours.
Do you think December 2012 will be the last year that Earth will exist? Sarcasm is NOT allowed. I want intelligent, reputable, and reliable exchanges; not extremist.
Personally, I do not think December will be our last year of existence -- and, no, I am not religious; and, no, I am not extremist. I am just using common sense. We've been on this Earth for over a billion years. Why would Earth decide to dematerialize now? And, besides, NASA's proven it wrong.
Pretty sure the world is fvcked, dude.
Dig up, re animate and ask a Mayan.
Ha not sure how you expect to get a serious conversation about a subject that clearly isn't serious.
Like asking to get a serious discussion from a Nicholas cage movie.
- A planetary and galactic alignment will occur.
- The world will NOT end.
- December 21st is a day of celebration.
- It marks the beginning of a new celestial cycle and a new age.
There will be a large solar flare though.
Of course. I have already created a bunker and everything.
LOL! Is this thread for real? No, 2012 is not the end.
NASA is a government institution that is inhibiting the free market in Doomsday paraphernalia. I refuse to believe it.
The age of man has fallen. Politics isn't even alluded to be about good anymore. We sell ourselves to nature, increasing entropy.
Is this a debate site, or a conspiracy club?
How could the ancient Mayans have predicted a galactic alignment when the concept of a "galaxy" wasn't formed until the early twentieth century?
Yes, with absolute certainty, 2012 will come and then more days after that. Flag this post. I will bet my life, my childrens lives, and all of my relitives lives on it.
The Mayans would have wanted it that way.
Well duh...the illuminati told them about it.
Do you think December 2012 will be the last year that Earth will exist?
December, 2012 isn't a year, it's a month.
I will SO abide by this rule.
I want intelligent, reputable, and reliable exchanges; not extremist.
lolwut? Any view that even remotely entertains the idea of a December, 2012 world ending proposition is an extreme view. By its very nature, intelligent, reputable, and reliable exchanges are out of the world.
1. No one is suggesting that the Earth will "decide" anything. The Earth is not a conscious, sentient begin capable of making decisions.
2. What, exactly, did NASA prove wrong? The whole Mayan schtick was never in the running to be "right." Even if it was, it isn't within the purview of NASA to discuss, since it has fvck-all to do with space.
The Mayan calendar saying the world will end in December 2012 because that's where it stops is as about as compelling as saying my Hallmark calendar predicts the end of the world in December 2012 because that's where it stops.
Why would you do that? Mayans continue to exist today. They don't seem particularly concerned about it.
I bought some seriously good pork from a Mayan in Miami yesterday. He asked me to come to his club later in the evening with my friends and the girls I was with to party. Perhaps that's their method for coping with apocalypse.
I've been reading about it and they say we're entering the Age of the Aquarius and it's a time of intellectual growth plus more weather disturbances that will evolve around water... but who knows?
Some folks may be doomsday preppin' but I'd rather be here in the NOW and hope for better things, live life to the max because life is short, apocalypse or none.
Man if I actually thought it would happen I wouldn't have wasted all my time in school. I'm not worried.
People, this forum discussion was to be taken seriously, not as an invitation to submit jokes. This is a debate site. This is a place where individuals habitually debate with others. And I thought that by making this forum post, I'd be sparking an interesting debate -- one where my intelligence and knowledge would be put to the test -- not one in which people are sarcastic.
I personally (like I have said before) do not believe the world will end when the Mayans predicted it would, but you can never be certain. What if one of these crazy, radical, "insane" predictions were true? A lot of people would be proven wrong then.
Regarding the NASA comment earlier in this forum post, I am aware of what the organization in question declared; however, with all due respect, government sources or even government programs aren't the most trustworthy resources of knowledge. The United States Government has all the motive to forcefully and coercively deny the fact that the end of the world will happen on 12/21/12. Just saying.
Sometimes derision is the most appropriate form of rebuttal.
I certainly think this will be the last December 2012 that will ever exist.

Calif. biologists find invasive oysters
Biologists have discovered giant invasive oysters that could threaten efforts to restore native oyster species in San Francisco Bay.
Government staffers and volunteers removed 256 of the exotic mollusks last week after searching the mudflats between the Dumbarton Bridge and the San Leandro Marina, biologists said Thursday.
Scientists have not identified the species, which grow up to 9 inches long and in a variety of shapes. They don't know how the exotic oysters got here or how they could affect the bay if their population expands.
Biologists are concerned the monster oysters could take over the best habitat and form reefs unsuitable for local fish and invertebrates. They could also threaten the bay's native Olympia oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, which usually grow no more than 2 1/2 inches long.
"We're really concerned about these nonnative oysters out-competing the native oysters," said Abe Doherty at the California State Coastal Conservancy.
A big empty shell of an exotic oyster first turned up more than two years ago near the eastern end of the Dumbarton Bridge. The species wasn't found again until three weeks ago when five large live oysters were discovered in the same area.
Wildlife officials quickly organized an effort to remove the unwelcome mollusks and hope they can eliminate them before they harm the bay ecosystem.
"We have a chance," said Andrew Cohen, who directs an invasive-species program at the San Francisco Estuary Institute. "We don't know if they're actively reproducing in the bay yet.


How Does A Pressure Pump Work?
Anyway, I find a tap there quite useful. After that, all you do is look at the pipe diameters you currently have and look at the opening diameters of your new tank and get all the pieces to fit. Ask the hardware guy for advice if you need to. Use 2 layers of teflon tape on all threaded connections and I think you are good to go.
A very easy job. Find all posts by OptsyEagle.
I re-did my entire system but kept the pressure tank with no problems and I agree with what Optsy says, except I do have one question. I thought you could always replace a bladder tank with a diaphragm tank, and the diaphragm tank is superior?
Or is that marketing hype? Is there a benefit over using a bladder vs. A bladder tank uses a bag-type membrane that is subject to creases and folds. This can lead to reduced drawdown and trapped sediment. A diaphragm operates in a uniform and repeatable motion, promoting full drawdown and a clean water reservoir. Find all posts by zoesdad. So it took some cutting soldering etc. In other words, my setup was non-standard, not like the setup below.
I think the picture on the following link shows the standard kind of setup, I believe the other guys here would agree.
That silver colored object near the tank is a union and that is what you are supposed to open with wrenches to replace the tank. If your setup is like that then you have it made except for the cost of the tank. I think as the guys are saying, the bigger the pressure tank the better for the life of the pump. Apparently start-stops are tough on the pump. I think pump manufacturers recommend that your pump run for a least one minute when it starts. Anything else is too short. But I think you would look at a number as a minimum size tank, bigger is not worse. I think the diaphragm is the one you want.
I usually think of them as the same but I believe there is a difference. Whether it is a big difference, I cannot say. Everyone has been giving you amazing help, I only have one simple thing to add to the check list before you change to a bigger tank.. My question first is how long has the problem been happening.. We are in the beginning of summer now, that is the only reason I mention this.
I hope this helps even a little bit, good luck on your well pump. Let me know how things go! Find all posts by nicktools Boy, am I glad I reached out to you folks for advice I'm going to spend some more time on this in a couple of days and can post a picture. Most set ups have a pressure guage that you can read. If you have one on your current set up just watch it closely and see what pressure it gets to when the pump kicks on.
That is your cut-in pressure. You may not be able to read it closer then 1 or 2 psi of accuracy.
If you see that it is somewhere between 18 psi and 20 psi, for example, then set your air at 16 psi. You don't want that air pressure of your tank above the cut-in pressure of your pump. If you are much lower, like 15psi for air pressure on a 20 psi cut-in, it just means that you will get a gallon or so less water from the tank between cycles. Not as big a problem as if you were 5 psi above the cut-in pressure.
At that level, your pump may start doing some wanky things. You might think that your pump just smoked some crack or something. If you don't have a pressure guage on your system, you can try to measure the air pressure of your current tank just when the pump kicks on, but that is quite difficult. You would need to be at the ready, once the pump kicks on, kill its power and then measure the air pressure in the tank at the Schrader valve. Not a very accurate system and then I would want to subtract a few PSI so I don't make that crack mistake, I alluded to above. Subtracting PSI air pressure in the tank is the same as subtracting a lot of useful water, so it is best to have a pressure guage on your system so you can get as accurate as possible.
In zoesdad's post you see the type of guage I am talking about. Just a standard round guage with a dial on it. If you don't have a pressure guage you can just add one when you set up the new tank.
Since you won't know your cut in pressure, just put the air at something fairly low, like 15 psi I doubt your pump kicks on below 15 psi. Turn on the system, fill the tank and let it switch off. Now with the new guage take your reading for the cut in. Now turn off the pump and empty the tank. Add air to the tank until you read 2 psi below that cut in number you just read. Now turn on the pump, refill the system and you are set to go.
Amtrol- Well Tank Sizing You will get a recommended tank model and then you can look up the model on this page: Don't forget to come back with a big tarzan yell when you have success! Find all posts by justwater. I have a few more details: I'd appreciate your thoughts on that.
This can't be an accurate reading, right? As far as I can tell the current tank does basically nothing Here are the pictures It keeps the water from going backwards towards the well. It allows water to flow in one direction. The valve with the green handle is a shutoff valve to shut off the water to your house. I think all new installations need them today.
They are for safety because as I understand it, if there is a failure the pump has the capability to really put a lot of pressure into the system. Shut off the power to the pump b. Shutoff the water to the house green handle c. Open the boiler drain blue handle and drain the tank. Open the union and move out the tank.
At what pressure should my bladder tank be set??
Put the new tank in place and tighten the union see note 1 below f. Make sure the air pressure in the new tank is 2 psi below the cut-in pressure of your pressure switch. But as Optsy says to find the cut-in pressure: Thus you could close the 2 ball valves you see with the red handles, and then open that union and take the entire sediment filter out by unscrewing things. And if you wanted to you could supply unfiltered water to the house while having fun with the sediment filter or replacing it with a new one, by opening up that vertical ball valve with the other 2 ball valves closed.
Yeah, zoesdad gave a great description. That square plug to the left of the green tap is probably for the pressure relief valve that someone was going to get around to buying Anyway, I doubt the system is putting out psi. If your current tank has a Schrader valve on the top you could measure it with water in the tank. If the tank was operating properly the air pressure will equal the water pressure since it is the air that effectively delivers all pressure.
All this step will do is maybe confirm if your guage is working right. Eventually you will need a working guage. They are not that expensive and are pretty easy to replace, if you find you need to. Just turn off the water and drain any tank and pipes above it. Unscrew the current one. Add two layers of white Teflon tape to the new one and screw it in tight. Other then that you have a very nice looking set up. I took from your post that you were not sure what the filter system was. That kind of tells me that you are not changing that filter All pressure pump systems need a check valve or 1 way valve installed in the pipework.
This can be installed on the suction side as a foot valve or on the pump inlet or just after the pump on the outlet. The check valve stops water flowing backwards and the pressure dropping when the pumps turns off. This allows a pressure pump to build up pressure and let the automatic switch turn it off. A pressure tank can be installed anywhere after this check valve.
This means that when all the taps in the system are shut, then the pressure in the system builds. When the water pressure in the system builds to beyond the air pressure sored in the tank, then the air starts to compress and the water fills up the wet side of the tank. Once the wet side of the tank has compressed the air as much as it can, then the pressure builds a little bit more and then switches off.
You simply cut in a T piece or a tapping saddle into the outlet pipework and have a pipe or a piece of pressure hose across to the inlet of the tank. Some tanks up to about 15L are OK to mount on the pipe or on top of the pump. Once they get beyond this size, they usually have to be mounted on a base and most of the time they actually come with a base. Pressure tanks are a cheap, simple and effective piece of gear that will help protect your pump and provide you with a good constant pressure and flow of water for whatever application you need.

What is your job at Parrot?
I am responsible for FreeFlight 6, the smartphone application used to pilot ANAFI. I also work on the ergonomics of drones.
One of the primary points that makes ANAFI unique is its ability to fly safely for 25 minutes, whilst filming in 4K UHD HDR. The vast flight features ANAFI offers allow even novice drone pilots to capture beautiful photos and videos. The well thought out ergonomics of FreeFlight 6 and Parrot Skycontroller 3, make ANAFI the easiest drone to use on the market.
What aspect did you specifically work on?
I redesigned FreeFlight. Rather than creating an application, we created an extension of Parrot Skycontroller 3, making it as intuitive as possible to use. I also participated in the development of all the flight features: Flight Plan, Follow Me, Cameraman, Magic Dronies, CineShots and RTH to name a few.
What makes ANAFI extremely safe and user-friendly?
ANAFI is ultra-light which makes it very stable. It's reactive and safe; the motors cut out if there's something blocking the propellers, making it one of the safest drones on the market.
It's small and super quiet, these are elements that reassure people who are usually worried about seeing a drone near them.
The drone is easy to find in case of disconnection or low battery and ANAFI has the ability to return to its takeoff point automatically. Additionally, the GPS position of the drone can be viewed at any time on the map in FreeFlight 6. Lastly, the drone can emit a beep sound if you cannot see it in tall grass for example.
What inspired the safety features?
The ability to beep the drone on demand was inspired by the technology to find lost keys! The Return to Home feature would never have been possible without the Smart battery. The fact that you can gauge how much battery life you have left is a great advantage for pilots. They no longer have to calculate how much battery life is remaining and how long it would take the drone to come back.
In the near future, drones will be used primarily for business purposes for example enabling fast deliveries without being dependent on ground traffic. There is also the advantage of contactless charging stations, or by solar energy. Heavy work such as the detection of electrical anomalies, rail, gas or oil circuits will also be managed by drone image recognition that continuously rotate and recharge on their own.
Leisure drones will be able to act via voice requests and blur out secure environments in live videos.


Implementation of Flo at City Hospitals Sunderland Highlighted in CQC Report as "Outstanding Practice"
The integration of Flo into the pathway for pregnancy mothers at City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust in supporting the monitoring of both gestational diabetes and mild pregnancy induced hypertension has been highlighted by the Care Quality Commission as outstanding practice in their recent report.
City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust developed the use of Simple Telehealth in 2012/13 using a multi-matrix, multi-partner model in collaboration with NHS England Northern Senate to support two common pregnancy complications: gestational diabetes (affecting 4.5% of pregnant women) and mild pregnancy induced hypertension (affecting 5-10% of the pregnant population).
The aim of the initial pilot was to determine the practical application of Simple Telehealth, the clinical/non-clinical benefits, how patient safety was managed and patient experience.
Where relevant a significant reduction in cigarette consumption in one case from(20/day to 3/day, due to reduced anxiety levels evoked by the knowledge of good foetal wellbeing and safety.
A case study is available highlighting that with the adjustment of oral medication and insulin facilitated outside of the usual clinic environment healthy foetal growth was achieved, providing the woman with reassurance and resulting in four fewer visits to the ante-natal service combined. The case study also demonstrates improved healthcare usage over a 20 week period reducing the routine four appointments to one appointment (e.g. overall cost saving over a 20 week period of £320 based on a single visit cost of £80/pt).
Mr Kim Hinshaw, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Director of Research & Innovation at the Trust leads Flo's integration into the pathway for pregnant mothers diagnosed with mild pregnancy induced hypertension. Flo provides support to increase the patient's adherence to their current healthcare regime in undertaking blood pressure readings and highlighting symptoms that would be of concern (e.g.headaches, flashing lights, epigastric pain) with the patient prompted to attend the hospital when systolic BP reaches >150, also upon which the on-call Consultant is contacted via the bleep service.
A case study is available and reveals that Flo resulted in appropriate alerts and prompt admission to hospital, allowing timely induction of labour and safe delivery of mother and baby and highlights the potential that pre-implementation of Flo, that the mother's escalated BP may have been missed by the standard care system (she was asymptomatic). The Trust found that the patients clearly preferred self-administered home monitoring to midwifery home visits confirming satisfaction with the integrated pathway and higher levels of empowerment.

"Small Coffee Farm Promise"
WPF approach to credit has evolved over time. Impressed with the microcredit movement, WPF initially invested in multinational microcredit organizations like Accion and Opportunity to get capital into the hands of the poor. Then soon WPF moved directly to supporting Nicaraguan microcredit organizations because they were reaching the agricultural sector, where most poor Nicaraguans make their living.
Small farmer access to credit from the formal banking system was cut nearly overnight with the implementation of Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF) policies in the 1990s, which began a rollback in the agrarian reform of the 80s. As a result, NITLAPAN, a research and development institute at the Central American University in Managua, founded the Local Development Fund, to provide access to credit to the small scale farmers, a sector that continues to be a challenge for the larger microcredit movement. Since the 1990s WPF has invested in that fund in support of that initiative.
WPF was also one of the first lenders to the newly formed second tier coffee cooperatives (that process and sell the coffee produced by 1st tier producer cooperatives), making some of the first loans to PRODECOOP so they could buy coffee from their producer cooperative members.
Then WPF moved to directly lend to grassroots cooperatives, particularly 1st tier cooperatives, both locally owned savings and loan cooperatives (like Hand in Hand Bank run by peasant women in Waslala) and producer cooperatives, especially coffee cooperatives involved in fair trade and organic production. The need for cash to respond to family needs throughout the year forced coffee farmers to sell most of their future crop to intermediaries, who only paid them 30% of the value they would have obtained at harvest time. With more access to credit, their own cooperatives could lend them the money and ensure that the producers received the full value of their production.
WPF continues to follow the research of organizations like NITLAPAN, and does its own research to further refine its loan practices to ensure that their impact advances the expansion of human capabilities of the local peasant organizations, especially women in the countryside.
"Corina and the Family Improvement Plan"
NITLAPAN/FDL
Nitlapán, a research and development institute at the Central American University in Managua, was founded in 1990 and focuses on improving the living conditions of the rural population. Nitlapán is the parent agency of the Fund for Local Development, FDL. This fund, which has been independent since 1992, has built up the largest network of fund branches in the west and central part of the country. The FDL offers a wide variety of credits for rural development. NITLAPAN has become a significant partner for WPF due to its outreach and sustainability emphasis.

Active Peasants of Jalapa Multiple Service Cooperatives (CCAJ)
Following the change in government in February 1990, two young people and a missionary came together and collaborated in the process of helping to legalize cooperatives and their lands in the area of Jalapa. While cooperatives existed under an agrarian reform law, the lands of the cooperatives were not legalized and the government had retained a monopoly over the commercialization of most agricultural crops. These three activists helped local peasants to gain legal ownership of their lands and promoted the marketing of the products produced there, starting as a peasant farmer education project and resulting in the creation of CCAJ.
CCAJ is one of the best known and widely-respected cooperatives in Nicaragua, due to their history, their leadership in post-war reconciliation efforts in the area, their successes and the socio-political voice that they have given to rural producers. WPF has supported the group since 2000, providing funding for member production, education, organizational development and strategic planning.

Dinner at The Horseshoes, Maidstone
Today's the day! The Horseshoes Pub & Restaurant tucked away in East Farleigh, just outside of Maidstone, Kent, has re-opened its doors after an extensive renovation.
Myself and my boyfriend were invited to visit a few days before the grand re-opening to get a sneak peak of the stylish new interior and taste their menu (our visit entailed complimentary food and drink)*. Despite only living just a 30 minute drive away, I'm really sad to say this was our first visit to The Horseshoes, but it certainly won't be our last.
This cosy country pub isn't difficult to find, being just 10 minutes away from Maidstone town centre by car. Nestled amongst paddocks in the village of East Farleigh, you'll find yourself in a quintessential Kentish countryside setting - hard to believe you're a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of Fremlin Walk.
When we first arrived, we headed to the bar area for a drink. With leather armchairs and curiously modern artwork hung on bare brick walls, the bar at The Horseshoes is a homely and trendy place to relax. A gin girl through and through, I couldn't wait to get started sampling their G&Ts. I started off with a classic Hendricks and slimline, garnished with cucumber, but quickly moved on to The Horseshoes's offering of a twist on the classic drink: a 'Gintonica' (G&T with herbs, spices and fruits, originating from Spain). My favourite was the Watermelon and Orange flavour - glass adorned with a wedge of watermelon, of course - a delicious vibrant, Summery tipple. Not bad for sipping by a roaring open fire in December, I suppose!
Once we were ready for food, we made our way to the restaurant. The first thing I spotted in the restaurant was another open fire. It was -1 degrees the night of our visit, it was very necessary! Then I couldn't help but turn my attention upwards: impressive wooden beams arch across the ceiling, a statement of a 16th century English pub. But, thanks to the recent refurbishment, this traditional feature is uniquely complimented by trendy, contemporary lighting. In fact, whilst the building itself is traditional, the new interior oozes modernity and 'cool', with teals, romantic burgundy hues and floral patterns to be seen.
For starters, I had my heart set on the Carne Platter. It had different dishes to try - pork cheek, chicken and katsu dip, lamb kofta, salad and bread - so I thought it'd be ideal as a way of trying out the menu. I have to say, everything on it was delicious. Especially the pork cheek, which I thought I'd be leaving to Sam because I don't generally eat pork. But I tried it and oh my god, it was amazing! The meat just fell apart in my mouth and tasted so good. Sam, a cheese fanatic, also had his eye on the deep fried brie and just had to try it. He said it was delicious. As he cut it open, the cheese was just oozing out - yum!
For the main course, I had the Dirty Burger: beef, melted cheese, bacon and beef dripping sauce. In a word: phenomenal. Possibly the best burger I've ever had. It was thick and juicy, and the bacon was cooked to crispy perfection. Sam had the 10oz steak which I didn't get a chance to try, on account of the fact it was so good, he wolfed it down! He said it was amazing, too.
For sides, we ordered chunky chips and fries (which came with our meals). The chips were soft and fluffy, and the fries just as nice. We wanted to try the other sides as well (all in the name of a review, of course. No greedy people here...) so we ordered onion rings, mac and cheese, and halloumi fries (the latter being Sams choice, I did say he's a cheese lover!) I had to order the mac and cheese because it's probably my favourite food ever and is always my go-to at home. The Horseshoe's rendition of my favourite was deliciously creamy, and made a surprisingly good side dish to the burger. The onion rings, likewise, were superb: they pulled apart easily and the batter was crispy but light. I didn't partake in the halloumi, but again, Sam thoroughly enjoyed them.
Onto dessert, Sam had been eyeing up a sweet dish we'd been seeing all night: 'The Ambassador's Melting Chocolate and Hazelnut Bomb'. We noticed it was a very popular dessert, and it really must be seen to be believed! A sphere of rich chocolate and hazelnut, with a side of vanilla ice cream and warm white chocolate sauce to melt the ball. It's a dessert lovers seventh heaven! I, on the other hand, opted for sticky toffee pudding - also served with vanilla ice cream - soft, spongey and slathered with toffee sauce, it was absolutely delicious. I also finished our meal with an espresso martini. Perhaps an interesting choice for gone 10pm, but I can never resist!
Sam and I had an incredible three course meal at The Horseshoes, and were really impressed by how gorgeous the new interior is. It's elegant and stylish, without compromising on the buildings traditional heritage. It's obvious how much love has gone into this beautiful country pub, not just in the new design, but it shines through in the service, too. All the staff were so friendly, enthusiastic, and always on-hand if you're in need of a refill. Kelly, the manager, was so sweet and it was so obvious that The Horseshoes is her 'baby', she was so proud of all the work that's gone into it recently! I can't recommend The Horseshoes enough. If you're in the area, you must call in - even if just for a drink and to get a glimpse of the beautiful decor - but do try the food, you won't be disappointed. Don't be perturbed by the meat dishes in my review (what can I say? We love a steak!) because they had plenty of vegetarian options and a full vegan menu.
If you're in Maidstone braving the cold to do your Christmas shopping, The Horseshoes is definitely the pub to go to if you're in need of winter warmer. You can park yourself by one of the three large open fires, perhaps the fire in the bar, or tuck in to your main course fireside in the main restaurant.
Take a look at their website, which includes their menus and online booking form, here.

Everything you had looks incredible! I love mac and cheese too, so it's amazing that they do it as a side, as not many places do. I'm glad you both enjoyed what you had xx

ACC Opening Week: Three Up, Three Down
Posted by Mick McDonald on November 9th, 2018
After a busy opening week that has so far resulted in a perfect 12-0 record for ACC teams, Mick McDonald (@themickmcdonald) takes a look at three positives and three negatives from around the conference. (Brad Jenkins covered Duke in his Opening Night takeaways)
THREE UP
Ty Jerome Continues to Show His Importance to Virginia (USA Today Images)
Let the Ty Jerome hype begin. Kyle Guy is the All-American and De'Andre Hunter gets the NBA love, but Ty Jerome is still the engine for this Virginia team. On Tuesday night, Jerome notched 20 points in the Cavaliers' win over Towson, making six of his nine shots from three-point range. His 70.9 Defensive Rating will obviously trend toward normal as the competition improves, but his size allows him to bother smaller guards and is the key to Tony Bennett's defense.
Florida State's shooting. While Leonard Hamilton's team defense was impressive in the Seminole's blowout win over Florida, it was their shooting against the Gators that was even more intriguing. A team that shot just 35 percent from long distance a year ago and lost its top two shooters (CJ Walker and Braian Angola-Rodas) probably shouldn't be expected to make 11-of-23 three-pointers against another high-major team, but Florida State did just that. It appeared as if Hamilton's team might be lacking a knock-down outside shooter this season, but if PJ Savoy (5-of-7 3FG) can fill that role, the Seminoles could become something special.
Jeff Capel's freshmen. Yes, it was only one game against Youngstown State, but it's clear that this is a new era at Pittsburgh. Three freshmen guards started for Jeff Capel's team on Tuesday night, and it is already obvious that they are the future of the Panthers' program. Point guard Xavier Johnson scored 16 points and added six assists and five rebounds; Trey McGowens poured in 17 points and shot 6-of-11 from the field; Au'Diese Toney added 12 points and nine rebounds. The Panthers will still struggle in the ACC this year, but their rookie trio will at least give Pittsburgh fans a reason to tune in each night.
THREE DOWN
Mike Brey (USA Today Images)
Notre Dame's shooting. We knew coming into the season that this version of the Fighting Irish didn't have enough athleticism to compete with the top teams in the ACC, which meant that they instead would have to shoot the ball very well to have a chance to win. Against Illinois-Chicago on Tuesday night, however, Mike Brey's club made only 4-of-22 from three-point range while shooting just 35.5 percent from the field. Star guard TJ Gibbs was the main culprit in laying bricks, making just 1-of-8 shots from behind the arc.
Boston College's depth. The Eagles won by 20 points against Milwaukee on Tuesday, but don't be fooled by the final score. They trailed by 10 points at halftime and burned their starters to get the comeback victory. Freshman Jairus Hamilton was the only non-starter who played more than five minutes for Jim Christian, and that's an issue. Boston College simply cannot compete in the ACC with a six-man rotation. Add to it that the Eagles shot just 5-of-20 from long distance as well, and it was not an encouraging start to the season in Chestnut Hill.
Buddy Boeheim's debut. Syracuse's zone is clearly in mid-season form, as the Orange held Eastern Washington to just 34 points on 22 percent shooting in a blowout win. While most of Jim Boeheim's club (other than Oshae Brissett) struggled shooting the ball, Buddy Boeheim's line in his first college game was downright startling — 1-of-11 from the floor, missing all five of his three-point shots. Boeheim taking more shots than Tyus Battle doesn't seem like a successful strategy for the Orange this season, but maybe his dad is in the coach's ear.
