In Life – they misrepresented you.
In death – They misappropriate you.
What you stood for – in life.

Managed Services continues to be a high growth market with many MSPs rapidly acquiring customers, managing new devices and building recurring revenue. The reason for this growth is the reliance of SMBs on their IT infrastructure without the IT budgets to justify staffing. MSPs can shift SMBs away from hourly rates and into managed services. Moving to a model with consistent monthly fees provides stable IT costs for the customer and predictable revenue for the provider.
This guide provides an overview of Managed Services and a proven strategy for moving from break-fix service rates to a predictable managed services model.

Investing in a world leading digital railway holds to key tackling the UK rail network’s on-going congestion, reliability, safety and escalating cost problems, according to Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne.
Using digital in-cab signalling technology could, he said, see capacity in urban areas instantly boosted by up to 40%, signals passed at danger cut by 80%, signal failures cut by 30%, trains running faster and more efficiently while passengers benefit from enhanced ticketing, information systems and service reliability.
“There is a huge opportunity to transform the capacity and reliability of our railway line using digital train control and to be really bold and aggressive about the way that we roll this out on our network today,” he said.
Carne’s comments came after the 2015 annual George Bradshaw Address to the rail industry held last week at the Institution of Civil Engineers, an event which also marked his first anniversary as Network Rail chief executive.
Entitled “Lifting the bonnet on Network Rail” Carne gave a critical assessment of Network Rail’s performance – an assessment which event host and shadow transport minister Lord Andrew Adonis described as a “systematic hatchet job” on his own organisation.
Carne’s presentation laid bare his thoughts about the state of and challenges facing Network Rail after what he described as a “rollercoaster ride” of a first year.
In particular he highlighted the problems witnessed over the Christmas period as evidence that there was work to do to improve the railways.
Carne’s delivery highlighted what he described as his two “central philosophies” underpinning the culture of the company; that “safety performance and business performance go hand in hand” and that there must be “the ambition and desire to be better every day”.
He highlighted that in Network Rail’s monopoly position, is was crucial that its behaviour reflected the competitive world, where failure to deliver service to customers mattered as they had the choice to go elsewhere.
He compared the industry’s safety performance to that of the oil and gas industry in which he worked previously to point out how much stil had to be done in the rail industry.
While passenger safety, he said, remains the best in Europe, about 600 railway workers are still injured a year. This compared starkly, he said, to fewer than 60 people injured each year in oil and gas.
“I see it as a moral and an ethical responsibility to keep people safe, whether that be passengers, the public or our workforce,” he said pointing out that the focus on punctuality often wrongly masked the need to work safely.
“I believe that we as leaders sometimes, perhaps inadvertently, reinforce this message [that punctuality is critical] by sending signals that suggest we don’t care as deeply as we could about our workforce and their safety and health,” he said.
Structured continuous improvement, to deliver a better service was, he said, critical to Network Rail’s future, starting he said with “getting the basics right”.
Questioned afterwards about the solutions to the problems he raised Carne was clear that, alongside getting these basic right, meeting the challenge of investment in digital technology was fundamental to moving the whole industry forward.
“We estimate that in our most densely used urban railways we can get up to 40% more trains running on existing track so capacity can be unlocked. And about 30% of all primary delays on our network are caused by signal failures. Removing that by putting the signalling in the cab immediately increases reliability,” he added pointing out that not having to put people out on the track to mend infrastructure boosted safety for staff and passengers.

In 1968 the New York anarchotheatre group The Living Theatre initiated their piece Paradise Now in an attempt to dissolve the borders between performers and audience with post-dramatic means. Their vision was nothing less than a new society. The Doors singer Jim Morrison followed the group as a fan; the US police pursued them into prison. More than a half century later, 13 youths – under the guidance of director and choreographer Michiel Vandevelde – look back on the political events of the decades in between on the basis of iconic images. Born and raised in a time of insecurity, when utopias have been forsaken, the youth on stage appropriate the euphoric actionism of their predecessors. They create something that seemed long lost: political theatre without nostalgia. Their concluding questions about the possibility of community and the future of what one still calls society are more than pressing.

Cleavon Little played the coolest law man in the West – Sheriff Bart. The role of Bart was orignally intended for Richard Pryor, but due to the controversial nature of Pryor’s stand-up routines and his background, Mel Brooks couldn’t secure financing for the project with Pryor in that role. So Pryor was made a co-writer of the script, and Cleavon Little played Bart. Pryor later got to star in a different western comedy – Adiós Amigo in 1976.
The scene in which Cleavon Little draws a gun upon himself to save him from the townspeople’s wrath was based on a childhood incident from Mel Brooks. Brooks said that once, to his disbelief, he stole some gum and a water pistol from a drugstore; when a store worker tried to stop him, Brooks held the worker at bay with the very water pistol he had just fingered from the store.

A letter from Ludwig van Beethoven to the woman identified by recent scholarship as his mysterious "Immortal Beloved" sold for the equivalent of $67,100, Sotheby's auction house said.
The price paid by an anonymous European buyer at a sale of music and manuscripts more than doubled the previous highest sum for a letter by the German composer.
The three-page letter to Antonie Brentano, written from Vienna on Feb. 6, 1816 relates family matters, introduces an English musician named Charles Neate and sends greetings to Antonie, her husband, Franz, and their children.
The existence of the "Immortal Beloved" was known from a love-letter so addressed and dated only "July 6" that was never sent and was found among Beethoven's papers when he died in 1827.

Thanks to the assistance of Lloyd De Beer and Naomi Speakman, both in progress with individual collaborative PhDs at the British Museum, the Courtauld has organised several handling sessions for postgraduate students over the past few years – you can read a report from an earlier session here.
The March session was kindly hosted by the British Museum’s Prints and Drawings department, and focused on Master W and Key (active c. 1465–1490), an anonymous Netherlandish engraver named after the shape of his monogram. Most of the eighty-two extant works by this artist are ornament prints, but he is also known for his engravings of ships, the first known representations of this kind.
While the ships may be connected with the ducal fleet of Charles the Bold of Burgundy, scholars have generally interpreted the architectural prints as patterns to be used by craftsmen in the workshop. Nevertheless, discussion during the session raised many questions on the cost, circulation and market of such early prints. Although a modern perspective may see the printed image as a cheap, mass-produced medium, these early architectural examples are very complex, and often required the painstaking engraving of more than one plate, printed on multiple sheets. Would such time-consuming creations really have offered a more convenient alternative to the exchange of drawings among workshops? What other reasons may have contributed to the spread of such designs?
Although this remained an open question, consideration of prints such as Alart du Hameel’s Design for a Gothic baldachin revealed that early architectural prints could be intentionally used to advertise their maker’s expertise in design and geometry: this print features a prominent signature, a mason’s mark, and an abbreviated ground-plan which seems to imply superior technical expertise. The same consummate skill is show in Wenzel von Olmütz’s Elevation of a Gothic Pinnacle with a Hexagonal Ground Plan, although in contrast to du Hameel, Olmütz did not sign his creation, and positioned plan and elevation one above the other, as typical of other Gothic drawings and of the Gothic design process in general.
Other treats of the handling session included Emperor Heraclius entering Jerusalem with the upright True Cross, designed by Alart du Hameel but signed ‘Bosche,’ presumably in an attempt to partake of the painter’s fame; Master ES’ figured alphabet; Albrecht Dürer’s large coloured drawing of a Gothic table fountain.

The study of architecture largely focuses on the study of buildings: constructions with their most essential function as shelter for the human body. But architectural history can forget that constructions with other functions are also ripe for interpretation of their structure and ideologies. This is what the ambitiously-named International Bridges Group intends to promote for crossings of all kinds, but beginning with a focus upon the medieval. Hence we at MedievalArtResearch.com were invited to their inaugural meeting at Westminster Hall on the banks of the Thames, followed by a day of in-depth (hopefully not literally) investigation of medieval bridges in the Nene and Great Ouse valleys. It as an opportunity to experience the fledgling sub-discipline of gephyrology: a neologism which currently only returns fifty results on Google.
As the current writer specialises on ecclesiastical architecture, one thing that emerged in the day in Westminster Hall was how similar working on the English bridge is to studying English parish church. Opening lectures from John Blair and John Chandler established thinking about English bridges is closely linked to unravelling the origins and operation of the English parochial system. Many current bridges can be traced back to the increasing importance of kingdoms in the late eighth century, and the establishment of centres of power. Just like churches, sometimes the opportunity to build a bridge was seized upon by institutions, monastic, parochial or secular to make a powerful architectural statement. Equally, institutions could be less responsible: maintenance neglected and pontage tolls embezzled.
Also like English churches, English bridges are uniquely weird and wonderful in equal measure. John P. Allan showed us, via the Exe bridge at Exeter, how independent masons may have been happy to meet in the middle with rounded and pointed arches; while Peter Cross Rudkin showed the English fondness for soffit ribs under the arches, akin to the complicated mouldings of English churches. The rib may have originally had a functional purpose centring the arch before it was built up: especially important for a rounded arch that cannot support itself. But since the ribs are often spaced wider than the length of the stones on top, it would appear that they have assumed the status of a skeuomorph: a decorative form derived from a practical necessity. Having a bridge that had distinctively bridge-like forms was clearly as essential as its structural practicality.
Just as a church spire provided an opportunity to dominate the sky, a bridge provided a powerful opportunity to assert ideology through these unique architectural semiotics. Susan Irvine used Anglo-Saxon literature to consider the bridge as a liminal space: a meeting point between two places. The potential of using this category of space was explored by Jana Gajdošová and Gerrit Jasper Schenk, both presenting papers on bridges rebuilt after disaster. The Gothic Charles Bridge in Prague, with its enormous bridge-tower and scheme of regal architectural sculpture, Jana showed to be a powerful expression of the megalomaniacal ambition of the Holy Roman Emperor. Gerrit compared the rebuilt Ponte Vecchio to the Florentine Bapistery: a pagan monument to Mars reclaimed for John the Baptist, expressed through inscriptions that speak of the enlightened commune of the city.
The final session brought us to how the established concept of a bridge worked in larger societal concepts: Jacopo Turchetto took us to medieval Anatolia, demonstrating how magnificent Ottoman bridges represented much older meeting places of travelling caravans. Roberta Magnusson and David Harrison both gave rich lectures about the bridge in the frameworks of English urban infrastructure and society that proved vital for enlightened conversation on the group’s trip out the Nene and Great Ouse Valleys the next day.
After an early Sunday-morning start, the first bridge the delegates encountered was Great Barford in Bedfordshire, dated by a major bequest of 1428. Much of the problem of looking at bridges is that, unlike a building, it faces not just the usual climatic elements, but also heavy traffic, perpetually flowing water, and wandering boats. Therefore it is inevitable that they fail and are rebuilt. Great Barford was also slightly spoiled by the 1874 widening – a common solution to the problem of increasing road traffic in the Modern age – here achieved by building out the bridge on the west side with a brick refacing.
Many medieval bridges are isolated from the main traffic flow: Irthlingborough now has a rather precarious-looking 1930s concrete Art-Deco bypass running alongside it. But in the Middle Ages it was a main road: therefore it was an inevitable structure unlike the grand statement at Great Barford, and probably with much earlier origins. Ditchford, on the other hand, had no such modern rerouting and was very much in use, with signal lights controlling the two-way traffic not used to a group of architectural historians examining its structure (see featured image). This bridge, made largely of attractively-tinged ironstone, was funded by the two parishes of which it lay on the boundary line: charmingly expressed on the central cutwater by the symbols of churches’ dedicatees, St Peter and St Catherine.
Two major urban bridges finished the trip. The very handsome bridge over the Great Ouse outside Huntingdon, called ‘lately built’ in 1322, reveals at close inspection its English eccentricities: different mouldings, designs and widths for every arch. It has the most attractive feature of a trefoil-arched corbel table, very much confirming the early-fourteenth-century date, which may have marked the place of a bridge chapel. Very few of these survived the Reformation: Wakefield, Rotherham, Bradford-upon-Avon and St Ives being the exception. However, we found the chapel over the Great Ouse locked, but had plenty to admire in the St Ives bridge itself: built in the 1420s at the behest of some generous Benedictines.
While very rich and informative, this meeting established only mere stepping stones to the establishment of gephyrology as an active discipline. If you are a budding gephyrologist, especially of the medieval period (or at least, initially, hanging around with a bunch of medievalists) and would be interested in attending future meetings of this research group, then email Jana Gajdošová with your name, institutional affiliation and a brief description of your studies.

Search for “microarchitecture conference” on Google, and you will mostly be returned results concerning gatherings of computer programmers. This would doubtless make the concept of a conference on medieval microarchitecture entertaining to many. Even ignoring this parallel nomenclature, the sort of microarchitecture art historians are interested in is not an easy concept to explain, and perhaps one of the primary goals of the conference held at the Institut Nationale d’Historie d’Art in Paris was to actually work out what we had all come together for. I doubt wasn’t the only one who wondered whether my own material actually qualified.
Achim Timmermann (University of Michigan), a man who could indeed be dubbed “Mr. Microarchitecture”, gave an exciting overview of the concept in Early, High and Late Middle Ages, so epic in its scope of fantastic structures that the screen ought to have expanded into Imax proportions. His account demonstrated how microarchitecture transformed from the idea of a “pocket cathedral” into such an isolated ontological sphere that it crossed into convolute monstrosity with its self-mimesis by the late fifteenth century. An alternative and quite staggeringly rich oration, based on his new book Gothic Wonder, was given by Paul Binski among the medieval statuary in the ancient Roman baths of the Museé de Cluny. For Paul, the medieval intellectual aesthetic condensed great and small, magnificent and minificent, into an idea characterised by a single playfulness of embellishing surface with ornament. A more formal account, jointly delivered by Javier ibàñez Fernandez (Universidad de Zaragozza) and Arturo Zaragozá Catalán (Universidad de Valencia), introduced a 7-part taxonomy of microarchitecture in Spain: from functional maquettes to decorative miniaturisation of large-scale forms.
In this framework of ideas of categorisation, many new genres of object were introduced to the conference room. The present writer, of course, had packed a selection of sedilia, which by now I am certain always prove novel to continental audiences. But we also had stone tile ovens like traceried office blocks from Sebastian Fitzner (LudwigMaximilians-Universität München), Orthodox chivots for Eucharist reservation that mimic the forms of their parent building from Anita Paolicchi (Università di Pisa) and Renaissance elevation drawings that were originally intended to be folded and constructed into paper models from Giovanni Santucci (Università di Pisa).
These models are sort of things we would love to have more evidence for in the Middle Ages to explain the transmission of ideas, but alas, even presentation drawings and plans are difficult to come by. The miniaturisation of large forms into the decorative or representational was covered in papers by Sabine Berger (Sorbonne) on votive churches in the hands of donor statues and Peter Kurmann (ETH, Zurich) on relationship of tabernacle canopies to the geometry and form of great chevets.
There was also consideration of the desirability of microarchitecture and its meaning beyond the artists’ play with novel forms. Matt Ethan Kalaver’s (University of Toronto) account of the earliest transmission of classical forms into the Netherlands by the high nobility on their tombs was reflected in the earlier centuries considered by Julian Gardner (University of Warwick) and Matthew Sillence (University of East Anglia). Their papers both focused on how influential medieval prelates and cardinals were for spreading new forms on their seals, which, quite thankfully, was a big part of my paper where also bishops seem the first to stick pointy gables over sedilia in chantry chapels they have endowed.
Perhaps one drawback about the novelty of much of the material is that it is only in retrospect to draw many of these parallels across sessions. One panel however that held together very well that at the end of the final day, between Sophie Cloart-Pawlak (IRHiS, Lille), Alexander Collins (University of Edinburgh) and Sarah Guérin (University of Montréal) who all explored the function and symbolism of microarchitecture on the spectator.
This was my first international conference, and it was a highly convivial experience with high-quality papers throughout. There was a healthy mix of postgraduates, early career researchers, established scholars and some legendary old hands. It is planned that the proceedings will be published, and therefore it should provide a much-needed general framework for the minificent microcosm of the fiddliest bits of the decorative arts.
The international conference Micro-architecture et figures du bâti au Moyen-Âge: l’échelle à l’épreuve de la matière was at the Institut Nationale d’Historie d’Art from the 8-10 Dec 2015. Here is our original post of the call for papers, the full programme and the INHA’s official page.
We also had a bit of fun tweeting the conference because we’re so Web 3.0.

The John Rylands Library is an extraordinary neo-Gothic building to which no tourist visit to Manchester is complete without. The architectural experience is supplemented by many fine exhibitions making use of its special collections, although due to their small, studious nature, they can often be overlooked. Communities in Communication is one such exhibition taking place in its cloistral vaulted corridors. Drawing on the Rylands’ large collection of books from the late medieval Netherlands, this small show forms part of a larger AHRC-funded project to understand the interplay of literary cultures in the late medieval Low Countries.
Guided by the excellent little exhibition booklet, the cases are grouped by themes that elucidate how the objects represent a window into the intellectual and linguistic cultures of their age. Trilingual phrase books show that individuals from urban burghers to the nobility were keen to improve their vocabularies. The new technology of printing had begun make written culture more accessible to a world burgeoning with literacy and an appetite for the word, and the majority of books here are printed rather than manuscripts written by hand. The books are beautifully displayed in shallow cases that allow you to appreciate the clarity of the printed text by actually reading the words, appreciating them as works of art and craft in themselves rather than simply vehicles for illumination. Perhaps the most significant object on show here is William Caxton’s Recuyell of the historyes of Troye, the first book printed in English.
I was fortunate enough to visit the exhibition on the occasion of a study day led by the exhibition curator, Adrian Armstrong. Our group was assigned a wonderful copy of Caxton’s English translation of the Golden Legend. First we studied the book as a physical object: assessing how the paper had been folded into bifolios and bound into quires. A copy that appears mint at first belies a fascinating object history: on close inspection showed how pages had been bookmarked by a neat reader. After a short break we looked at the book in a different way: how we might consider transcribing the text for a modern critical edition. Does one insert modern punctuation and expand contractions, or go the whole way and modernise the often archaic spelling? These are no doubt issues Caxton himself faced when sitting down with English, Latin and French versions of the Legenda Aurea back in Westminster in the 1480s.
These dual themes of material codicology and the linguistics of the text helped illuminate the texts on display outside, be it historical writing, poetry or phrasebooks. All these texts are material artefacts that can make manifest the essentially ephemeral speech of daily life in the late medieval Northern Europe: be it in diplomacy, trade, or leisure. This is certainly an exhibition to see if you are interested in the future aims of the project to unravel the interplay of literary cultures in this dynamic environment: both the autumn of the Middle Ages and the springtime of the Northern Renaissance.
Communities in the Communication: Languages and Cultures in the Late Medieval Low Countries is on at the John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester until 21 December 2014. Admission is free.

If the idea of computer-generated farming reminds you of an early cyberpunk novel, then you’re as skeptical as we are. But one designer has attempted to do just this, using what he calls precision farming.
UK-based designer Benedikt Groß has come up with algorithmic models to plant a variety of crops within close quarters. His goal is to create better harmony between plant and animal life. Planting one solitary crop has historically leaved the field vulnerable to pests, who could potentially wipe out an entire yield. The algorithm model prevents this, as well as uses sustainable practices.
While not a completely new idea (combination farming has been done for centuries to improve soil quality), the employment of technological computer models is pretty original. Groß has refined his vision enough to put a smiley face in the middle of a piece of land he plotted last spring.

The Letter below from Marty Keller and colleagues was sent to many media outlets, to retraction watch, and to professional organizations on Wednesday. Paul Basken from the Chronicle for Higher Education asked me for a response which I sent about an hour after receiving the letter. This response is from me rather than the 329 group. This and other correspondence features and will feature on Study329.org.
One quick piece of housekeeping. Restoring Study329 is not about giving Paroxetine to Adolescents – its about all drugs for all indications across medicine and for all ages. It deals with standard Industry MO to hype benefits and hide harms. One of the best bits of coverage of this aspect of the story yesterday was in Cosmopolitan.
Nine of us whose names are attached to this email (we did not have time to create electronic signatures) were authors on the study originally published in 2001 in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry entitled, “Efficacy of paroxetine in the treatment of adolescent major depression: a randomized controlled trial,” and have read the reanalysis of our article, which is entitled, “Restoring Study 329: efficacy and harms of paroxetine and imipramine in treatment of major depression in adolescence”, currently embargoed for publication in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) early this week. We are providing you with a brief summary response to several of the points in that article that which with we have strong disagreement. Given the length and detail of the BMJ publication and the multitude of specific concerns we have with its approach and conclusions, we will be writing and submitting to the BMJ’s editor an in-depth letter rebutting the claims and accusations made in the article. It will take a significant amount of work to make this scholarly and thorough and do not have a time table; but that level of analysis by us far exceeds the time frame needed to give you that more comprehensive response by today.
The study was planned and designed between 1991-1992. Subject enrollment began in 1994, and was completed in 1997, at which time analysis of the data commenced. The study authors comprised virtually all of the academic researchers studying the treatment of child depression in North America at the time. The study was designed by academic psychiatrists and adopted with very little change by GSK, who funded the study in an academic / industry partnership. The two statisticians who helped design the study are among the most esteemed in psychiatry. The goal of the study designers was to do the best study possible to advance the treatment of depression in youth, not primarily as a drug registration trial. Some design issues would be made differently today — best practices methodology have changed over the ensuing 24-year interval since inception of our study.
In the interval from when we sat down to plan the study to when we approached the data analysis phase, but prior to the blind being broken, the academic authors, not the sponsor, added several additional measures of depression as secondary outcomes. We did so because the field of pediatric-age depression had reached a consensus that the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (our primary outcome measure) had significant limitations in assessing mood disturbance in younger patients. Accordingly, taking this into consideration, and in advance of breaking the blind, we added secondary outcome measures agreed upon by all authors of the paper. We found statistically significant indications of efficacy in these measures. This was clearly reported in our article, as were the negative findings.
Both before and after breaking the blind, however, the sponsors made changes to the secondary outcomes as previously detailed. We could not find any document that provided any scientific rationale for these post hoc changes and the outcomes are therefore not reported in this paper.
This is not correct. The secondary outcomes were decided by the authors prior to the blind being broken. We believe now, as we did then, that the inclusion of these measures in the study and in our analysis was entirely appropriate and was clearly and fully reported in our paper. While secondary outcome measures may be irrelevant for purposes of governmental approval of a pharmaceutical indication, they were and to this day are frequently and appropriately included in study reports even in those cases when the primary measures do not reach statistical significance. The authors of “Restoring Study 329” state “there were no discrepancies between any of our analyses and those contained in the CSR [clinical study report]”. In other words, the disagreement on treatment outcomes rests entirely on the arbitrary dismissal of our secondary outcome measures.
We also have areas of significant disagreement on the “Restoring Study 329” analysis of side effects (which the author’s label “harms”). Their reanalysis uses the FDA MedDRA approach to side effect data, which was not available when our study was done. We agree that this instrument is a meaningful advance over the approach we used at the time, which was based on the FDA’s then current COSTART approach. That one can do better reanalyzing adverse event data using refinements in approach that have accrued in the 15 years since a study’s publication is unsurprising and not a valid critique of our study as performed and presented.
A second area of disagreement (concerning the side effect data) is with their statement, “We have not undertaken statistical tests for harms.” The authors of “Restoring Study 329” with this decision are saying that we need very high and rigorous statistical standards for declaring a treatment to be beneficial but for declaring a treatment to be harmful then statistics can’t help us and whatever an individual reader thinks based on raw tabulation that looks like a harm is a harm. Statistics of course does offer several approaches to the question of when is there a meaningful difference in the side effect rates between different groups. There are pros and cons to the use of P values, but alternatives like confidence intervals are available.
“Restoring Study 329” asserts that this paper was ghostwritten, citing an early publication by one of the coauthors of that article. There was absolutely nothing about the process involved in the drafting, revision, or completion of our paper that constitutes “ghostwriting”. This study was initiated by academic investigators, undertaken as an academic / industry partnership, and the resulting report was authored mainly by the academic investigators with industry collaboration.
Finally the “Restoring Study 329” authors discuss an initiative to correct publications called “restoring invisible and abandoned trials (RIAT)” (BMJ, 2013; 346-f4223). “Restoring Study 329” states “We reanalyzed the data from Study 329 according to the RIAT recommendations” but gives no reference for a specific methodology for RIAT reanalysis. The RIAT approach may have general “recommendations” but we find no evidence that there is a consensus on precisely how such a RIAT analysis makes the myriad decisions inherent in any reanalysis nor do we think there is any consensus in the field that would allow the authors of this reanalysis or any other potential reanalysis to definitively say they got it right.
In summary, to describe our trial as “misreported” is pejorative and wrong, both from consideration of best research practices at the time, and in terms of a retrospective from the standpoint of current best practices.
In the case of a study designed to advance the treatment of depression in adolescents, it seems strange to have picked imipramine 200-300mg per day as a comparator, unusual to have left the continuation phase unpublished, odd to have neglected to analyse the taper phase, dangerous to have downplayed the data on suicide risks and the profile of psychiatric adverse events more generally and unfortunate to have failed to update the record in response to attempts to offer a more representative version of the study to those who write guidelines or otherwise shape treatment.
As regards the efficacy elements, the correspondence we had with GSK, which will be available on Study329.org as of Sept 16 and on the BMJ website, indicates clearly that we made many efforts to establish the basis for introducing secondary endpoints not present in the protocol. GSK have been unwilling or unable to provide evidence on this issue, even though the protocol states that no changes will be permitted that are not discussed with SmithKline. We would be more than willing to post any material that Dr Keller and colleagues can provide.
Whatever about such material, it is of note that when submitting Study 329 to FDA in 2002, GSK described the study as a negative Study and FDA concurred that it was negative. This is of interest in the light of Dr Keller’s hint that it was GSK’s interests to submit this study to regulators that led to a corruption of the process.
Several issues arise as regards harms. First, we would love to see the ADECs coding dictionary if any of the original investigators have one. Does anyone know whether ADECs requires suicidal events to be coded as emotional lability or was there another option?
Second, can the investigators explain why headaches were moved from classification under Body as a Whole in the Clinical Study Report to sit alongside emotional lability under a Nervous System heading in the 2001 paper?
It may be something of purist view but significance testing was originally linked to primary endpoints. Harms are never the primary endpoint of a trial and no RCT is designed to detect harms adequately. It is appropriate to hold a company or doctors who may be aiming to make money out of vulnerable people to a high standard when it comes to efficacy but for those interested to advance the treatment of patients with any medical condition it is not appropriate to deny the likely existence of harms on the basis of a failure to reach a significance threshold that the very process of conducting an RCT will mean cannot be met as investigators attention is systematically diverted elsewhere.
As regards RIAT methods, a key method is to stick to the protocol. A second safeguard is to audit every step taken and to this end we have attached a 61 page audit record (Appendix 1) to this paper. An even more important method is to make the data fully available, which it will be on Study329.org.
As regards ghostwriting, I personally am happy to stick to the designation of this study as ghostwritten. For those unversed in these issues, journal editors, medical writing companies and academic authors cling to a figleaf that if the medical writers name is mentioned somewhere, s/he is not a ghost. But for many, the presence on the authorship line of names that have never had access to the data and who cannot stand over the claims made other than by assertion is what’s ghostly.
“nor do we think there is any consensus in the field that would allow the authors of this reanalysis or any other potential reanalysis to definitively say they got it right”.
We agree. For us, this is the main point behind the article. This is why we need access to the data. It is only with collaborative efforts based on full access to the data that we can manage to get to a best possible interpretation but even this will be provisional rather than definitive. Is there anything that would hold the authors of the second interpretation of these data (Keller and colleagues) back from joining with us the authors of the third interpretation in asking that the data of all trials for all treatments, across all indications, be made fully available? Such a call would be consistent with the empirical method that was as applicable in 1991 as it is now.

Felix Arntz: Where Are The Core Contributors?
We as developers use WordPress on a day to day basis – implementing client projects, writing plugins, launching services. And yet, the number of us who spend time participating in Core development directly is significantly low.
Why is that? Is it only a lack of time or are there other more sensible reasons that keep developers from helping out? My session will deal with the hurdles to overcome, philosophies, code quality and how you can benefit from contributing – an investigative experience report from a young Core contributor.

The result of the fatigue analysis is strongly influenced by the quality of the material data. Unfortunately, during the development process, there is hardly any chance to know all material values, therefore there is the possibility in FEMFAT to generate a new material based on only few data.
This support, offered by FEMFAT, is based on certain materials laws, specific for each material class (e.g. aluminum casting alloys, gray cast iron,...). It is very important to activate the correct material class before generating the new material. Please check the Haigh diagram after using the material generator, because possible failures can there be seen very easily.
How can the cast condition be taken into account in FEMFAT?
Today’s commercial simulation tools provide the possibility of simulating the casting process and of predicting the associated inhomogeneous structure conditions within the component. This gives, amongst other things, a distribution of the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), the solidification time, the cooling rate or the microporosity. It is possible to import these distributions into FEMFAT and to consider their influence on the endurance stress limit. Here, the solidification time and the cooling rate can be converted to an SDAS by means of an exponential approach. The currently implemented dependence of the endurance stress limit on the SDAS is optimized for aluminum sand and gravity die casting. However, the influence of the SDAS on the endurance stress limit can, if known, also be given by the user as a value pair table for any material. A new material dataset with the number 220 was created for this purpose. Nevertheless, it is also possible to consider microporosities or other structural parameters. In FEMFAT, the distribution of any structural parameter can be imported via the same interface, instead of an SDAS distribution. The only requirement is that the values are node-referenced. The file format thus corresponds to (node-referenced) temperature data. Moreover, for an operational strength evaluation, the influence of the specified structural parameter on the material endurance stress limit must be known and be defined by means of a table (dataset 220) in the material file (*.ffd).
The influence of cast structure in FEMFAT is already being successfully implemented by BMW in their engine development process, e.g. for cylinder heads.
How do I consider the technological size in FEMFAT?
The technological size in FEMFAT considers the material endurance stress limit which decreases with increasing component dimensions. The imported shell thickness, which is averaged at the nodes in FEMFAT, is used as the technological size for FEM shell entities. For FEM solid entities, on the other hand, the user must explicitly specify the technological size as a numerical value in [mm] in the node properties. You can activate the technological sice influence factor in the menu "Influence Factor".
The sample thickness is also included in the analysis, where it should be noted that the sample thickness at five points is included in the material data, i.e. in the strength data for tension, compression, bending and shear, and again in the general S/N data. However, only the value from the general S/N data is used in the technological size influence!
With the size influence activated in FEMFAT, an influence factor on the material alternating stress limit is calculated, in accordance with the FKM guideline [1, 2]. The "effective diameter" used in the equations there is identical to the "Technological size at 3D nodes" entered in FEMFAT for the node properties of the component.
In the following figure the influence of the technological size on the endurance stress limit is shown for various material classes. The corresponding FEMFAT material classes are given in brackets.
How can I consider higher temperatures in my analysis?
Enabling the isothermal temperature influence means that the local operating temperature is taken into account at all analyzed nodes (usually upper temperature).
The isothermal temperature only affects the dynamic strength values in the Haigh diagram (vertical scaling).
This option changes both the dynamic strength parameters in the Haigh diagram (similar to the FKM guideline) and the static strength parameters (horizontal scaling of the Haigh diagram). The same formulae from the FKM guideline are used for modifying the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress. The user is warned if the temperature exceeds the range defined in the FKM guideline, and the influence factor is extrapolated on the basis of the implemented formulae.
In this method, the temperature dependent material data specified by the user is taken into account; this data can be defined in the menu “Material data -> Properties at higher temperatures”. The temperature dependent fully reversed endurance limit and the ultimate tensile strength must be defined as a minimum for this method.
This option is based on method 4.5, but in addition the cyclic coefficient of hardening K’ of the cyclic stress-strain curve is reduced in a similar way as the ultimate tensile strength. This means that the isothermal temperature influence is also correctly taken into account in the mean stress rearrangement of linear elastic stresses according to Neuber (FEMFAT plast module).
One can see from the curves that all temperature influences based on FKM produce conservative results.
The component material is not in the database - what do I do now?
If you are unable to find the required material in the material database, you can also generate the data for the calculation on a few familiar properties of the material. The user has 2 options.
The first is called the 'stress-controlled' method by FEMFAT. Here you only need to specify the material class (Fig. 1) and the ultimate tensile strength for the material. Based on the predefined ratios taken from the FKM guideline, the system will now automatically generate all the missing material characteristics needed for the calculation (Fig. 2).
To increase the reliability of our conclusions, it would naturally be better if one was able to also pre-define the ultimate yield stress, pulsating load strength and ultimate compressive strength/alternating stress limit from specimen test data. However, one should be careful when changing materials outside of the material generator since the FEMFAT calculation uses a number of different relations based on the material data, for example the 'k' factor used to measure the ductility of the material.
The second method for generating a material is called the 'strain-controlled' method. The user not only needs to enter the material class (as in fig. 1), but also the data for ultimate tensile strength, yield stress and E/N curve (unnotched, polished samples, fully reversed tension/ compression) (fig. 3).
Finally, the number of cycles at the fatigue limit is also needed. Next, for this number of cycles, the strain amplitude is converted into a stress amplitude (corresponding to the fully reversed endurance limit). The fatigue strength exponent b is used to determine the gradient of the stress S/N curve (k=-1/b). After the material characteristics have been determined, you should then check the following and change where necessary: Survival probability, specimen diameter, elongation of rupture, check Haigh diagram & S/N curve for plausibility.
Since FEMFAT version 5.0 it is also possible to estimate parameters of materials with pores inside. In many cases as e.g. in Aluminum die cast components, there are areas with pores and defects, whereas surface layers are pore free. In FEMFAT a boundary layer model is provided for correct fatigue assessment of such cast components. Nevertheless the necessary parameters for material with and without pores are often not known. A new dialog for defect definition is now provided (fig. 4). Based on a pore free material or a material, where the maximum defect size is known (which is relevant for fatigue failure), material parameters can be derived for any other defect sizes.
How can temperature-dependent material properties be taken into consideration?
FEMFAT provides an option for defining temperature- dependent material parameters (static and dynamic) and thus to take them into consideration in the fatigue analysis. The simplest solution is to import an existing material from the FEMFAT material database, e.g. the cast metal AlSi12CuNiMg.
Right at the bottom of the "Material data" dialog there is an entry titled "Properties at high temperature". Here, value pairs consisting of the temperature and the corresponding material parameter can be entered.
Attention should be paid that the strength parameters correspond to the imported basic parameters at 20°C. For a user-defined assessment of the temperature influence at least the temperature-dependency of the ultimate tensile strength and the alternating stress limit must be given.
The remaining temperature-dependent material parameters can be estimated automatically by FEMFAT – although it is better to provide more temperature-dependent material properties, such as the pulsating stress limit, for example.
This extended material can now be saved to the material database once again using the "Write to materials database" command and be used for subsequent analyses. It is adopted automatically for the current FEMFAT session.
A nodal temperature distribution must now be defined as an "isothermal influence". Do not forget to activate the isothermal temperature influence in "Influence factors" and to change the method used to "user-defined".
Consideration of non-linear material behavior in FEA or with FEMFAT plast?
Here, a simple example will be used to reveal the applicability of the FEMFAT plast method.
1. ABAQUS with a cyclic-plastic material curve and true stress-strain definition with non-linear geometry.
2. ABAQUS with linear material behavior and stress rearrangement using FEMFAT plast.
A notched, tensile specimen of steel with notch radius 0.7 mm, (d = 2.15) was analyzed for an alternating load of up to 40 kN (stress ratio R = -1). In Fig. 1 the stress history at the base of the notch can be seen for the Mises and max. principal normal stress. Initial plastification in the notch occurs at approx. 8 kN.
The Neuber rule applies to regions with limited local plastic zones. The individual regions are shown in Fig. 1. In region 1 (0-10 kN) local plastification restricted to the notch prevails.
In region 2 (10-20 kN) the entire cross-section begins to plastify. In region 3 (above 20 kN) the entire cross-section plastifies. In our case the Neuber rule can be applied up to around 20 kN, because the initial cross-section plasticizes only very little up to this limit. Due to the loss of stiffness there is a large increase in local stresses at a load of 40 kN.
Fig. 2 shows a comparison of the stress amplitudes between ABAQUS and FEMFAT plast. The principal normal stress is used for redistribution in BASIC. The plastic analysis in ABAQUS uses the Mises equivalent stress for this purpose. This results in stress deviations in FEMFAT, but also because the node-averaged stresses are used for stress rearrangementin FEMFAT and not those at the element integration point.
Although a multi-axial stress state already exists in the notch, PLAST provides useful results up to approximately 15 kN (~ 0.3% plastic strain) for the local stress in the notch. If greater strains or stress multiaxiality are anticipated deviations may increase and a non-linear material law should then generally be employed.
What to do if the desired material class is not available in the material generator?
In the most simple case, a new data set is created with the material generator in FEMFAT by specifying the material class and at least the ultimate tensile strength.
Sometimes, however, even the first step in this simple situation proves to be impossible: this happens when the desired material class (such as powder metal) is not available.
For such cases you will find a table which shows the equivalent material classes we recommend.
After generating the material, the actual material class must still be specified in the general data (if available; see the 3rd column in the table).

Located about 2 hours north of San Francisco, Tomales Bay is one of the few pockets of pristine wilderness left anywhere near the bay area. To get there, you’ll drive through small villages and redwood groves, watching the signs of civilization slowly disappear. At Tomales Bay, fishermen harvest oyster farms and catch fish to sell in the local markets. You can paddle down the coast for miles and see nothing but beaches, forests, and possibly a local dairy farm in the far distance. Students can have the experience of being taken back to an earlier, simpler time.
Sea Trek’s guides have a wealth of material to draw on when leading trips through the bay. It’s home to many species, from cormorants and ospreys above the ground to bat rays and sea lions below the waves. And the historic towns of Marshall, Inverness and Dillon nearby are a reminder of the area’s history, first as a home of the Coast Miwok tribes, and later as a 19th-century settlement for Russian immigrants. Nature has a lot to teach us, and Tomales Bay is no exception.

Simply put; car accidents take a heavy toll. Even a minor ping can cost you a bundle and be an utter inconvenience. Of course, on the other end of the scale, a major accident can be ruinous and completely life-altering. Take the following precautions to minimise your risk when heading on that road trip.
It’s a no-brainer that the faster your drive, the longer it takes you to slow down. A small decrease in your speed can greatly diminish your risk of crashing. Maintain a two-second gap from the car ahead and double this to four seconds when it’s raining, foggy or otherwise hazardous.
As important as it is to keep your driving in check, your car could be a potential liability too. Before you set off check your tyres (including your spare), make sure you’ve got a full tank of fuel, windscreen wash, oil, water, functioning break lights and that child seats are properly fitted. If you are hiring a car, familiarise yourself with it and it’s equipment before hitting the road.
However tempting it may be to have a tipple or two, it’s advisable to stay clear of any alcohol when getting behind the wheel. Not only does liquor affect your driving skill, readiness and behaviour, once it's been consumed the effects cannot be reversed. In NSW drink driving is a factor in about one in every five crashes where someone loses their life. What’s more, police will be out in force making Random Breath Tests over the silly season, so unless you want a fine, demerits points and a license suspension, stay away from the chardonnay!
Fatigue is one of the biggest dangers on our roads particularly for long-distance commuters. Driver fatigue has been likened to drink driving and fatigue-related crashes are twice as likely to be fatal. Remember; sleep is the only cure for tiredness. If you can, share driving responsibilities with someone else.
Road rage can be dangerous and stress provoking. Do your bit to maintain courtesy and respect the rights to safety for everyone on our roads. If you do encounter an aggressive driver avoid conflict. Remember to abide by the road rules when driving on any dual lanes keep left unless overtaking.
Internal distractions can pose danger to your driving. Whether it’s your kids or other vehicle occupants it’s important to mitigate commotions that compete with your ability to focus. Make sure you have plenty of games-on-the-go and treats to keep the small members of the family entertained. Ensure any furry members of your family are properly restrained and cared for and secure any loose objects. Check out more family friendly road trip hacks here.
There’s nothing worse that breaking down on your road trip. If you haven’t already invested in roadside assistance, now may be the time to reward yourself to prevent an unexpected pit-stop.
If you are travelling alone, be sure to switch your phone to silent. If you’re lucky enough to have passengers get them to text for you.
The far-reaching consequences of speed related accidents can be enormous. Not only are they devastating; speed related accidents cost the Australian economy around $27 billion dollars each year.
If you’re preparing for a road trip- remember to enjoy your journey and take your time getting to your destination. The key to safe travel is plenty of preparation. Before you hit the road; know your route and don’t rush. Plan for the unexpected, and take lots of rest stops to break up the monotony of motorway driving. A few basic safety tips can make all the difference when it comes to ensuring the safety of your friends and family.

In the video, a marketing executive recommends that a milk company affix a ‘GMO free’ label to its packaging in order to boost lagging sales.
“But all milk is GMO free,” the milk company representative says.
“You know it, and I know it, but no one else does. So here’s the plan. We’re gonna put a label on it: GMO free!” the marketing professional explains.
“You simply bombard the consumer with meaningless claims until they’re too confused and frustrated to make an informed decision,” they say.

To find and decide upon the best ecommerce scalable software for your website, online business, and brand as these 3 essential questions!
With so many enterprise ecommerce platforms, it can be hard to choose which one is the right fit for your website, business, and the types of products you sell. What works well for some websites may not work the same for you. There is no solution that will fit all businesses.
What type of tech or customer support does your business need? For B2B and B2C companies, purchasing an ecommerce scalable software means choosing an ecommerce service provider. The provider should be the main resource for getting the most support and value, so when choosing a scalable software for your ecommerce business, ask how much support will you need, do you know what your business needs from the platform, will you need help implementing the platform, will you need guides and instructions on how to achieve your goals within the platform, will you need support as you expand to explore new sales channels and markets? Based on how much tech and customer support you will need, choose a platform that offers options for professional, in-depth, and ongoing support.
What kind of relationship does your brand want with the customers: If you want to build long-lasting and loyal customers, choosing the right ecommerce scalable software is crucial. With the best platform, you can deliver a personalized and innovative shopping experience to the customers. The platform should provide you with tools that allow you to communicate with customers on social media, create accessible feedback channels, and more.
Are you prepared to service mobile shoppers? We all know that mobile is becoming the favorite shopping channel of most shoppers, B2B and B2C buyers alike. By 2020, mobile commerce will make up over 40% of the ecommerce market in the US. The best ecommerce solution is one that improves mobile customer experiences. You need a platform that will help you create a mobile shopping interface that scales to various screen sizes and simplifies customer checkouts.
The answers should give you a clearer picture of what your business needs from the ecommerce platform to succeed in today’s competitive digital marketplace.

More than 60 students have committed suicide in the past six years in Kota, the coaching hub of India.
An engineering aspirant on Friday committed suicide in Kota, India’s coaching hub, in Rajasthan after failing to clear JEE (Main), the results of which were announced the day before.
Arijit Pramanick from West Bengal hanged himself at his hostel room in the Mahaveer Nagar area of the Kota City in the evening, police said.
According to an estimate, more than 1.5 lakh students from across the country enroll in the 40-odd coaching institutes in the city every year to prepare for different entrance examinations.
But of late the institutes have come under the scanner after a string of suicides by students, most of them due to study-related stress and burden of family expectations.
More than 60 students have committed suicide in the past six years, most of them attributed to the fear of failure. Two students took the extreme step this year, while 17 ended their life last year.
To curb the menace, several coaching institutes last year jointly launched a round-the-clock helpline to offer counselling, track callers suffering from depression and provide assistance.
Police recovered Pramanick’s body after the hostel owner informed them about the tragedy.
Circle Inspector of the city’s Mahaveer Nagar police station Pramod Sharma said though no suicide note was found, prima facie it appears that the student took his life for failing to qualify for the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced).
He said Pramanick had been living in the hostel for the past one year and was preparing for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced from a local coaching institute.
He said the post-mortem would be conducted after the arrival of the parents of the deceased.

SARDA (Rajshahi), May 16: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday asked the police to give the highest importance to people's basic and human rights and the rule of law while discharging their duties. "You must give the highest importance to people's fundamental rights, human rights and the rule of law during your duties," she said. The Prime Minister was addressing the passing-out parade of the 35th BCS batch of assistant superintendents of police (ASPs) at the Bangladesh Police Academy here. She asked the police to gain the trust of people through providing service and humane attitude. "And this is urgently needed", reports UNB. Sheikh Hasina directed the police personnel to show polite and sophisticated attitude towards women and children. "You must play the role of leaders in eliminating crimes from society by formulating people-friendly police through involving them," she said. The Prime Minister also asked the police force to fulfill the expectations of people. Mentioning that the government has gained success in uprooting terrorism from the country, Hasina said drug is pushing society towards the path of destruction like a disease. "We have to save the nation from this drug. For that, you'll have to do special works...we want you to take strong punitive actions against drug abusers, suppliers, traders, producers or whoever he or she is. And you must maintain good relations with mass people for that," she said. Hasina said she has the belief that the police force will be successful in eliminating the drug from Bangladesh as they did in uprooting militancy. The Prime Minister took salute and inspected the parade. The Prime Minister distributed medals among M Salman Farsi, AsmaAkhter Sonia and Mahbub Hossain for their outstanding performance in different fields of the course. Earlier on her arrival at the Sarda Police Academy, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Inspector General of Police (IGP) DrMoha-mmad JavedPatwary and Principal of the academy Additional Inspector General Md Nazibur Rahman received her. Hasina urged the police to be more active in controlling new kinds of crimes at this time of fast-changing world. "You'll have to be efficient particularly in handling cybercrimes." She said the government is committed to transforming Bangladesh Police into a smart, professional, efficient and people-friendly force to fulfill the expectations of people. For this purpose, she said, her government has been working to modernise the police force since 2009 to strengthen their capability and ensure their effective role in containing crimes. Members of the police are being imparted training in various disciplines to make them more efficient on modern technology, she said. About terrorism and militancy, Hasina said, her government has been able to contain such vices with an iron hand and the success of the police in this regard has highly been acclaimed not only at home but also in international arena. The Prime Minister reiterated her firm stance there would not be any room for terrorists, militants and drugs on this soil of Bangladesh. She said Bangladesh Police Academy in Sarda is being built as 'Center of Excellence'. "For this, we're continuing reorganising its organogram, increasing manpower and the supply of necessary vehicles, equipment and logistics." The Prime Minister mentioned that modern classrooms, computer labs, language lab, forensic demonstration lab, driving and shooting simulator are playing a supporting role in providing time-befitting training. Besides, the present government has established the Police Staff College to provide modern training to senior police officials. A total of 123 ASPs, including 18 female officers, participated in the basic training of the newly-recruited members of BCS Police cadre 35th batch.

After just one season back at Melbourne Victory, Marco Rojas is set to return to Europe, pending a medical.
Melbourne Victory star Marco Rojas is set for a return to Europe, heading for a medical with an unnamed club.
The New Zealand international, 25, enjoyed a standout 2016-17 A-League campaign in his second stint at Victory.
Rojas contributed 12 goals and 11 assists to help Victory reach the Grand Final.
His previous spell at the club also led to a European move, but he struggled to break through in Germany and Switzerland.
But Victory have agreed to terms for Rojas to return to Europe, reportedly to Eredivisie side Heerenveen, pending his medical.
"I can't thank everyone at Melbourne Victory enough," Rojas said.
"They showed great faith in me after a difficult few years in Europe and really helped me to get my career back on track.
"I would absolutely have no hesitation returning to Melbourne Victory in the future. The club is very important to me and has been nothing but professional during both my spells in Melbourne.
"But right now I'm focused on proving myself at the top level and I'm excited to be heading back to Europe."
Rojas' departure would be the latest change at Victory, who have seen the likes of Fahid Ben Khalfallah, Daniel Georgievski and Alan Baro leave in the close-season.
Australia international James Troisi also appears set to find a new home, although Victory are reportedly still looking at re-signing the attacking midfielder.
Rhys Williams and Kosta Barbarouses have joined Kevin Muscat's squad, while Thomas Deng has returned from loan.

Advent is one of my favorite Christmas traditions.While the word Advent, also meaning arrival, primarily relates to the first and second coming of Christ the Messiah, I’ve found myself contemplating the irony or the meaning of the word in many conversations I have found myself in this past month.
It’s natural to find conversations at this time of the year reflecting on the events and happenings from the past twelve months, the big stuff, the hard stuff, and the good stuff.
But 2015, this year seems to have been quite the year for so many.
In some way, shape, or form, that statement is what I have heard echoed time and time again about this past year.
Those are the buzzwords I keep hearing used about 2015.
Maybe you can relate to some of those words.
Maybe 2015 was one of the hardest years of your life.
Maybe 2015 was the best year of your life thus far.
In many ways, gratitude is a practiced response. It is a conditioned response.
That makes gratitude sounds sort of fake and inauthentic.
But if gratitude wasn’t a response from deep within our bones, so gut deep, how could it be the same response for those who have had some of the hardest year and some who have had the best year?
Four of the candles the comprise the advent wreath, one of which is lit each Sunday in December leading up to Christmas, are representative of hope, love, joy, and peace.
From deeply anchored hope, gratitude is born.
From the knowledge that we are wholly and passionately loved, gratitude is born.
From joy that wells up from deep within, not contingent on circumstances, gratitude is born.
From the unshakable peace of knowing we are not alone, gratitude is born.
In the sense, it’s no real surprise that gratitude would be the same response across the board for the hardest years and the best years.
So as we anticipate, as we wait for the arrival or Christmas and all the celebrations, sorrow, and joy it will hold, we look beyond.
For many, we are looking further beyond Christmas and anticipate the arrival of a new year, a new start. A year the will hold as many hopes and dreams, fears and uncertainties, but a year that we are grateful to be given and hopeful for what it will hold.

The recent Facebook data-sharing scandal has prompted some not-so-deep introspection among users about how much data they’re actually willing to give the social network. #DeleteFacebook has been trending for the better part of a week, and even users thoroughly wedded to the platform have been minimizing the data they share.
But every day, we learn about a different portal through which Facebook has been quietly siphoning data it probably shouldn’t have access to. The most startling revelation so far came from a Twitter user, who noticed that his Facebook data file contained a record of every SMS message sent from his phone, and every call ever made, despite the fact that he doesn’t use Facebook for his SMS messages or calling.
Angry reactions to this revelation are already beginning to pop up, but they’re misguided. Facebook isn’t stealing this data without users’ permission. No, like everything else on the platform, it’s technically an opt-in service that users have to have consented to. It’s only a feature available on the Android app, but Facebook can prompt users during the setup process to turn it on. Once in the app, users have to go to Menu–>App Settings, and tap Sync Your Call and Text History in order to disable the feature.
Facebook says that the service “makes it easier to connect you to your friends,” and while that might be true, there’s no good reason why Facebook should be collecting the contents of messages or metadata about calling. In theory, I suppose it could work as a backup service, but there’s more secure and less creepy ways to back up your call logs if you’re that concerned.
If you have the Facebook for Android app, you should probably go comb through your settings to ensure that the feature is turned off. But more than anything else, this goes to show how Facebook technically has consent to gather your most intimate data, but people don’t seem to realize what they’re giving over. You can call it a “communication issue” between users and the company or a deliberate obfuscation, but either way, it’s clear that Facebook won’t gain the trust of its users until it can sort the problem out.

With Brexit hogging the political limelight, you might not realise local elections are taking place next month.
It will be your first chance in four years to choose who represents you on South Gloucestershire Council or North Somerset Council, depending on where you live.
From planning decisions to potholes, bin collections to business rates, councillors influence the services you depend on day-to-day.
Your vote will help determine the political make-up of the council, but there are a few deadlines you need to know about before polling day (see below).
But when can you vote and where? And for whom?
The elections will take place on Thursday, May 2. Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm.
How do I make sure I am eligible to vote?
You must be registered on the electoral roll before April 12 .
Residents over 18 should log on to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote to check their eligibility.
If you need to register - for example if you recently turned 18, changed your name or moved to South Gloucestershire - you’ll need your National Insurance number handy.
Once you are registered to vote, the council will send you a polling card in the post, which will confirm which ward you are in and the local polling station where you can cast your ballot.
Will you vote in the local election?
As it stands, the Conservatives have an overall majority in South Gloucestershire.
The party won 40 of the 70 seats in the last full council election, becoming the first to hold a majority since the unitary authority was created. The remaining 30 seats were fairly evenly split in the 2015 election, with 16 going to the Lib Dems and 14 to Labour.
But this will all change from May.
Two dozen councillors have already announced they are not standing for re-election, and sweeping changes to the ward boundaries in South Gloucestershire have reduced the number of seats available from 70 down to 61.
South Gloucestershire Council has announced the names of all the candidates who will be vying for your votes on May 2.
The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats dominate the field in sheer numbers, with 61 each standing for election.
Labour has 48 candidates in the race, and the Labour and Co-op group has six.
Nine people representing Ukip Make Brexit Happen are listed.
Eight independents are standing for election. These candidates have no particular political affiliation. They are not linked to the Independent Group, the new political party for pro-EU MPs launched in February 2019 and since renamed Change UK.
The Green party has seven candidates up for election.
All 50 seats are up for grabs across 35 wards, with either one or two councillors representing each one.
The Conservatives, who have held a pretty solid majority on North Somerset Council since 2007, have candidates for every seat.
Labour is standing in 45 seats, including one for the Labour and Co-op Party.
Liberal Democrats make up the next largest group hoping to win your vote, with 22, followed by 13 independents (not to be confused with the newly formed Change UK: The Independent Group of MPs in Westminster).
Ukip has four, as do Potishead Independents: Your Team Your Town, while there are three candidates from the Green Party and three with no party listed.
Since the first elections to the new unitary authority in 1995, North Somerset Council has been run either by the Conservatives or through no overall control.
Most opposition seats on the council from 2015 to 2019 were in wards in and around Weston-super-Mare, with a couple of independent councillors in Nailsea.
Overall, Conservatives are defending 36 seats, while Labour and the Lib Dems both had four members, with five independents and one Green.

As the preferred vendor, WMB Heartland Justice Partners hopes to resurrect the project and see it pass the council on June 8, said John Dionisio, investment director for New York-based investment firm Meridiam, one of the three equity partners in WMB. The proposal could be revived with a majority vote of the 29-member council.
A majority turnout of council members to the meeting could create a legal problem for the developer.
The invitation went out late Monday, so it’s not likely that a majority of the council would show up, said Fred Biesecker, the council’s legal adviser. He said he warned WMB that convening a quorum would be a violation of the law, which requires public notice 48 hours in advance.
In addition, the council needs to avoid violating Indiana’s serial-meeting statute, or the “Bob Knight Rule,” by holding small-group meetings with WMB, Biesecker said. The law prohibits elected officials from breaking into groups of three to five people over seven consecutive days to discuss the same official business. Indiana University Trustees had used the serial-meeting loophole to discuss the fate of basketball coach Bob Knight in September 2000.
The 29th floor of the One American Square is occupied by Ice Miller LLP, one of the city's largest law firms.
Dionisio said WMB continues pushing for council support because the financing that was arranged is good through June. Mayor Greg Ballard's office is also working behind the scenes to gather enough votes to revive the project. Ballard spokeswoman Jen Pittman couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday morning.

Watch as speedrunner BubblesDelFuego jets across the capital wasteland, all in the name of speed. Bubbles manages to beat the game in an astounding 23:55, beating the previous record of 24:20.
The previous record for an "any percentage" run was also held by BubblesDelFuego, by the way. He beat his personal best, though you can look at the Fallout 3 leaderboard in this Google Doc here.
Bubbles makes use of many well-known Fallout 3 speedrunning strategies here, such as 'load clipping' (which allows you to move through objects as the game is loading), and 'dialogue skips' (quick-saving and quick-loading allows you to skip dialogue). These are glitches that are available to anyone who plays the game.
I'm amazed not just at the number of ways one can simply walk through geometry, but how many highly dangerous situations a player can simply...run through. Bubbles finds himself sailing through locations bursting with either super mutants or people equipped with power-armor, but nobody manages to stop him. Of course, knowing that he could simply run past everything didn't help, as I still found myself watching with panic.
And might I add that, watching Fallout 3 again, I'm struck by how insincere your mother sounds when your dad says you're a handsome baby? Way to make the player feel like an ugly baby, mom.

I'm Alison Hunter and I'm 17. I have had ME/CFS for over seven years following an encephalitic virus aged nine.
My main symptom has been an intractable headache; also muscle and joint pain, cognitive problems, nausea and severe weight loss three years into the illness. But aside from battling the physical effects of the illness, I have had to battle with ignorance, scepticism and what some would regard as medical abuse.
I have also found the isolation that is associated with months and even years being housebound, unable to enjoy social contact with other teenagers, particularly trying.
However, over the past few years I have spoken with dozens of adolescents and through talking to them, combined with my own experiences, have come to learn a lot about the issues for adolescents with M.E. While they vary from case to case, two experiences have been almost universal.
One is the struggle to maintain a formal education i.e. regular school attendance which becomes difficult for a number of reasons. Many of these difficulties are practical - for example carrying heavy school books, navigating stairs, stuffy classrooms, having to sit upright for extended periods, and the problems associated with sequential learning and "catch up". Also, many adolescents find mental effort and concentration to be every bit as detrimental to their health as physical exertion.
There are options such as home tutoring and distance education - these reduce problems of mobility, whilst aggravating isolation as the student completes work at home, missing vital peer contact.
Of great reassurance to me when unable to do schoolwork was the wise advice of my school headmistress who said, "Education does not only occur from nine 'til three between the walls of a classroom." One boy, Ben, spoke for all children when he said, "I want to go to school Mum so I can hate it like everybody else."
Every parent heaves a sigh of relief when their child reaches the age of fourteen and nine months - and prolonged absence from school no longer excites official concern.
I believe it is imperative that children and adolescents with M.E. be trusted and empowered with decisions regarding their own health and capabilities. It is a rare child whose initial diagnosis wasn't either hypochondria or school phobia - yet these same children do not make remarkable recoveries on the weekends.
I have not encountered one adolescent who was not highly motivated and mourning the loss of the 'best years of their life'. Surely, any psychological problems are an understandable consequence of one's predicament and, often damaging, experiences.
I challenge anyone to experience a severe chronic illness like M.E. at any age, given the lifestyle restrictions, pain level..., and not to experience some degree of anger, frustration and depression.
Dealing with health professionals can present further problems. At best, doctors can support the diagnosis but offer little in the way of relief. At worst, they display attitudes far from easing the suffering of the patients and are extremely harmful. This can be witnessed in the case of Sarah, very ill in hospital, and complaining of shortness of breath, who was forced to prove it by running up several flights of stairs to the point of collapse. Respiratory function tests later showed clear abnormalities.
Paradoxically, often the sicker one gets the worse this dilemma becomes. When confronted with extremely thin patients unable to walk, talk, or eat, doctors have panicked and said "it can't be M.E. after all."
Perhaps only when these severe cases are documented in the medical literature will the chances of alternative diagnosis be minimised.
Adolescents, particularly girls, are often accused of dieting/Anorexia Nervosa when they are too nauseated to eat, Pervasive Refusal Syndrome, or Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy. Parents are told they are simply too involved with their child; mothers who work are neglectful, whilst those who don't are regarded as 'nurturing the illness'.
At the extreme end of the spectrum, adolescents have been admitted to psychiatric institutions, and even taken into State care.
I have been involved with M.E.Y.A. since its birth two years ago. From a founding party of eleven, its membership has grown to over 250 teenagers in NSW alone. There is a common misconception that support groups are merely 'pity parties' and promote an unhealthy dwelling on one's disease. This is definitely not borne out in our experience with M.E.Y.A. One of M.E.Y.A.'s most important functions is to provide social interaction with other teenagers in a non-threatening environment. This is achieved by holding regular low-energy Lounge Lizard weekends, has been very positive, and we have received countless letters of encouragement, often displaying the participants' healthy senses of humour that have remained very much intact.
We now receive regular referrals from medical professionals. In a perfect world, there would be no need for a group such as M.E.Y.A., but in the interim I would like to see branches established worldwide to support, encourage and, above all, empower adolescents, until the day arrives when we can take a pill and be rid of this devastating disease forever.

School supplies, packing lunches, homework, paperwork, it’s that time of year again, back-to-school. If you are like me, the stress of a new school year is overwhelming and having one more thing to think about just might make your head explode. So, I understand talking with your child about their peers with a disability might be the last thing that you think you have time for. Or, if you were like me before I had my oldest son, it might not even be on your radar- I completely understand.
Growing up I was a super competitive person, always working extra hard to ensure I would get straight A’s on my report card and hold the honor of being the student of the month. I was raised to be kind and polite, but my focus was always on being “smart.” The only measure of “smart” in my mind was perfect grades on a report card. Oh, how my perspective has changed.
Now, I have two boys, both in inclusive classrooms. One that is being included with his “typically developing” peers and the other that is a “peer model” in the same preschool classroom my older son attended.
Before my son with Down syndrome started preschool, I thought little about the emotional and social importance of school. I had always thought of school for the academic piece. Primary school was a stepping stone into a secondary school which would lead to acceptance into a prestigious college and in turn a high-paying job.
My son with Down syndrome has changed my perspective on life in many ways, but perhaps most important is how he has shaped my parenting style. Above all else, we teach kindness and celebrate everyday good deeds with the same enthusiasm as a perfect report card.
For my son that is included with his “typically-developing” peers in a general education first-grade class, I don’t wish for his peers to treat him special or different from the rest of the friends in the class. I wish for them to treat him with the same kindness they have for all their classmates.
I’m not deceiving myself; I do understand that the interactions that take place with my son might be different than the other interactions in the classroom between peers. I know that your child may need to have extra patience with my son because he is still figuring out social interactions and may not respond to your child’s “hi” yet. I know that your child may need some extra patience when my son does something unexpected because he is overwhelmed by his sensory needs. It’s all true. But, if your child leads with kindness, they will always know how to respond to my son. They will always treat him the way they would like to be treated which of course, is the same way my son wants to be treated too.
It’s simple really, talk to your child about kindness. Along with studying with them for their spelling tests, talk with them about how they can help their peers and teacher each day. Acknowledge acts of kindness with as much pride as perfect test scores.

UK consumer advocate Which has published its latest broadband customer satisfaction survey and all the biggest ISPs scored poorly on customer service.
Which surveyed 1,800 people in November and December 2016 and summarised its findings in the table below. The final score represents the proportion of customers so satisfied with their provider that they would recommend it to others, and their opinions of specific features of the service are shown in the star ratings. A dash means there were less than 30 responses.
At the bottom of the customer score list is TalkTalk, indicating two thirds of its customers wouldn’t recommend the ISP. Dominant infrastructure owner BT doesn’t fare much better and got two stars across the board for the features of its service. Other big providers including Sky and Virgin only managed to get a positive endorsement from half of their customers.
On the flip side smaller providers Zen Internet and Utility Warehouse scored highly in every respect and even BT-owned Plusnet seems to perform much better than its parent, which makes you wonder why BT doesn’t just ask Plusnet how it’s done. None of the major players got more than three stars for customer service.

Laguli's the perfect Astoria Italian patisserie for traditional cookies, cannolis, napoleons, lobster claws, cakes & spumoni. Excellant quality but Ownership has sour faces & attitudes for decades.
Everything is fantastic. Densely packed old school bakery. Crunchy cannolis with light filling. Amazing rainbow cookies. Dozens of butter cookie shapes and flavors. Giant elephant ears.
The sfogliatella is delicious, w/ a thick ricotta filling, dried a bit more than I'm used to. But what it lacks in creaminess, it makes up for in flavour. The shell could be a bit more flaky though.
Get the lobster tail dessert! It's heaven in your mouth! The cannoli is also delicious. But the workers there need to work on their customer service.
Per We Heart Astoria, the best Italian Ices in Astoria. They've been in business since 1937 and know their stuff.
No need to go to Arthur Avenue, you find everything you need here to increase your daily calorie count!
Cannolis and rainbow cookies if you want the best pastries in the world. Spumoni ice if you want the best ice ever!
Great cannolis but it's pricey and the ladies behind the counter are a little rude.
Their Italian ice's are a great treat for the summer. This is one great bakery.
Everything here is delicious. I especially loved the cannolis.
Tiramisu is a must. Bottom layer is perfect. Delicious espresso flavor without being soggy.
Everything is so fresh. My favorites are the rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies.
True old-school italian pastries! Their cannoli won't disappoint.
Italian Ices, ice cream cakes, jelly tart cookies! I love them all!
Their Italian ices are amazing! MANGOOO!!
Their italian ices are to die for! And their cookies are magnificant!
Rude un cooperative owner. With having a meeting with them and all for custom cake they failed in delivering what we asked for. They would not fix it or offer a discount. Really horrible. avoid.
The spumoni ice cream is the bomb diggity from this place :D!
Leave your cash, take the chocolate-covered cannoli.
Tea biscuits, rainbow cookies, and fantastic gelato.
Canoli's!! and Gelato!! Nuff said!!
Sfogliatelle. Sfogliatelle. Sfogliatelle. Oh, and the lobster tail.
I heart the chocolate-covered cannolis.
LaGuli Pastry Shop opened its doors in 1937 at the same Astoria, Queens, NY location We still pride ourselves on hand-made baked goods!!
"Get the pizza, preferably in early afternoon when fresh out of the oven. Sfogliatelle as well as the semolina loaves are also highly recommended."
"My fave Astoria bakery. Better service to go than sit down. Unless you sit near the cakes :-) I love the cupcakes especially hazelnut, choco on choco & red velvet. Enjoy!"
"The cheesecakes and apple pies are done right every time! Also love the pound cake and apple turnovers."
"Beautiful view of Manhattan. The park hosts summer concerts and outside movies. Great Park to go for a jog."
"Very friendly Starbucks crew as many others mentioned. Lively place and great coffee. Light and airy."
"Nacho and cheese late night"

Illustrator Roland Topor on our inner complexity and the reasons why we do things - Site de garance-coggins !
Roland Topor was a 20th century French multi-talented artist, but he is most well-known for his work as an illustrator. During his prolific career, he worked with Fellini, Werner Herzog, Roman Polanski among other,. His drawings are surrealist, dark, humorous, detailed and poetic. Visually appealing, they’re often also disturbing. He portrays human condition through striking pictures that look deceitfully simple.
This year, the French National Library in Paris stages a retrospective exhibition of his work to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his death. At the end of a rich exhibition, the visitor can watch a recorded interview of Roland Topor. It was filmed in the 1980s, when you could smoke the cigar and have a drink in front of the camera, and you could spend several seconds thinking before actually answering the question.

In a nice touch, all of the photo captions in the Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon page on the Transformers Wiki are quotes from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan which, of course, featured Leonard Nimoy who played Sentinel Prime in the film (and, as us old schoolers remember, Galvatron in the much better animated movie).

We last stayed at this site 9 years ago and things are still as good as we remember them. Picturesque setting, friendly staff and excellent toilet facilities. Good restaurant. Pitches a touch on the small side for a large outfit but manageable. The biggest difference we noticed is the airport was much busier.

Alexander Press publishes and distributes titles in English, French, and Greek, with a special emphasis on Orthodox theology, iconography, spirituality, Mount Athos, as well as Greek history, modern Greek literature and Greek popular tradition, and materials that reflect the “Inner Greece” — the soul of Greece, the Romiosini, of yesterday and today.
"Now All Things Are Filled With Light"
The troparion, the Hymn of Dismissal is sung. The Dismissal is given. You remain resting in peace, for the truth of the love that “has been poured into our hearts” (Rom 5;5).
And the joy does not end. The Hymn of Dismissal at the end of Vespers is the beginning of Matins for the next day.
We are already living an uninterrupted continuity in the day of the Church which knows no evening, the new creation and way of life in which all things are filled with light. The God-man is Lord of things in heaven and on earth. He is the Alpha and Omega of the life and salvation of all.
Thus surrounded by the fullness of grace, we enjoy the beginning and the end, solitude and communion, hesychia and action, preaching and silence, art and theology, life and death. “Everything is now intermingled.” Everything acquires the dynamism of interpenetration with the divine.
The world we live in has been called a ‘vale of tears’, a ‘place of weeping’ – perhaps with good reason. Wherever you turn you see pain, sorrow, undeserved suffering, death, and sin. The ‘ruler of this world’ (Jn 12: 31), the ‘world ruler’ (Eph. 6:12) is the devil. He is constantly to be seen.
God, who is named ‘He who is’, meaning the One from whom everything comes into being, is nowhere to be seen. ‘No one has seen God at any time’ (John 1:18). That is why his very existence is a matter of dispute. He has, however, ‘revealed himself’ (John 21:1), and he promises to manifest himself to whomsoever keeps his commandments and loves him: ‘I will manifest myself to him’ (John 14:21).
This book records simple events and conversations, all the while grappling with difficult questions. We see the human struggle to discover the person of God when that is veiled by the logic of this world, our limited understanding, and the arrogant pretensions of human littleness. The book engages intensely with complex and difficult issues . . . but which leave us confused and at times scandalised. What it does not do is give any direct answers, or try to persuade the reader through logic or impressive arguments. Its aim is to convey the sense of the discreet yet persuasive presence of the true God precisely in situations where He is not visible: in pain, in disability, in the tragedies of life, in inexorable death, as this comes across in true events and is reflected in the lives of real people.
Volume VIII in the series “Orthodoxy in Dialogue with the Modern World”.
2013, 240 pages, soft cover.
Papa Tykhon, whose name in the world was Timothy Golégoff, was born in the village of Nóvaya Mikháilovska in Siberia in 1884. He made his round of about two hundred Russian monasteries, as well as those of Sinai and Palestine. For sixty years he lived on the Holy Mountain where he fell asleep in the Lord on 10 September 1968.
Priestmonk Agathánghelos’ remarkable account of his experience with Papa Tykkon, his spiritual guide, shows us someone of profound faith, whose unwavering devotion, prayer, and love, stands as a beacon in our darkness.
by Dr Jean-Claude Larchet. Translated by Fr Kilian Sprecher.
Dr Jean-Claude Larchet’s long-awaited great work, Thérapeutique des maladies spirituelles is published in English by Alexander Press.
A vast synthesis of patristic and ascetic oriental teachings from the 1st to 14th centuries, this study presents a renewed vision of the Christian doctrine of salvation and constitutes a veritable treaty, both theoretical and practical, of spiritual psychology and medicine, as well as a summation of Orthodox spirituality that has no equivalent.
The notion of human health held by Orthodox anthropology is inseparable from that of the ideal human nature possessed by the original Adam. Before being led astray, this nature was a synergy of Adam’s free will and of divine grace unto his perfection, i.e. deification. That is to say, human nature has a direction found in its different components: it is naturally oriented towards God and is destined to find fulfilment in Him. Dr Larchet shows how, according to Orthodox ascetical anthropology, man is in a healthful state when he achieves his destiny and when his faculties exert themselves in accordance with this natural aim. He shows, also, how sin, thought of as separation from being with God, establishes in man a manifold state of illness by turning him away from his essential goal . . . One sees from this how theanthropic asceticism, by which man is ontologically converted,constitutes a true therapy, in that such asceticism permits man to turn away from this pathological and unnatural state and to recover the health of his original nature by turning towards God. If Christ appears as a physician and the salvation He brings appears as healing, it is because humanity is ill.
Beholding mankind’s healthfulness in the primordial state of Adam, the Fathers and all of Tradition see the state of sin, which characterizes fallen mankind after the original sin, as a state of manifold illness affecting man in his whole being. This notion of mankind as sick from sin finds scriptural support, which the Fathers did not fail to use. In the example of the Prophets, the Fathers call to mind the inability of the men of the Old Covenant to find a remedy for their ailments, however serious these were, and their calling to God throughout the generations. God’s favourable response to this call was the Incarnation of the Word, Who alone could effect the awaited healing because He was God.
Tommy is a curious, sensitive boy, raised in the wilderness by wolves. He loves his life, yet an occasional sadness washes over him, as a reminder that his soul thirsts for something more.
One day, Tommy’s heart welcomes a divine spark of love that washes away his sadness, renews him and cleanses his soul. Tears of joy stream down his face when his soul, hearing the knock on its door, opens up. Tommy, sometimes resembling “Doubting Thomas”, needs to see in order to believe, so he leaves his wolf family.
Tommy sets out on a journey to discover the Source of his mysterious joy, a journey in which he also finds himself. Tommy’s Travels remind us that throughout our own journeys we must have faith, courage, patience, and self-acceptance, but we must also journey with gratitude, peace and love in our hearts.
Influenced by the Elders Paisios and Porphyrios, whose teachings and lives in our times are close to the heart Orthodox spirituality, Dr Madison, through her text and wonderfully evocative illustrations, also conveys the significance of God’s natural world, of which we are all a part.
ALEXANDER PRESS Montreal;, Quebec, 2014.
An anthology of the most significant Orthodox theological writing from Synaxis, the major Orthodox theological journal of Greece, from 1982 to 2002.
This dictionary of Orthodox hymnological terms is without precedent. Its historical completeness is remarkable, with many terms not elsewhere defined, and will constanly reward students and practioners of Orthodox chant.
This is the incredible story of the distinguished theologian, Aristides Hadjinicolaou (1915–1982 ad), told in his own words, of his experiences in the years of occupation and war in Greece from 1940 to 1950, illustrating the comforting love and providence of God. His story, which he only told in 1976, is dedicated to his wife Lina (†1986 ad) and his five children (Nikos, John, Dimitris, Vassilis and Anthousa), who published it quietly, distributing it gratis in his memory on the thirtieth anniversary of his passing.
Nikos Gabriel Pentzikis (1908–1993) was a painter and writer known for his in depth study of Byzantine tradition and as a courageous defender of Orthodoxy in the modern world. The most modern of Greek writers, the most distinctly Greek, he assembles his pieces so that, beginning in alienation, with the recalcitrance and transience of things, the casual cruelties of space and time, they reach out, through the luminous Orthodox immanences of the past, the reverberations of historial memory, towards an inclusive density of present experience. Pentzikis “identified himself closely with his native Thessaloniki. In [Mother Thessalonkiki] . . .
he identifies the parts of his body with the areas and historical periods of Thessaloniki.
Overlooked and largely rejected by academics for many decades, Papadiamandis’s work is finally coming into its own. Professor Keselopoulos reveals with great warmth and sympathy, the spiritual depths and Orthodox richness of Papadiamandis through his depiction of the traditional life of his native Skiathos, a living liturgy. Keselopoulos also shows how Papadiamandis’s creative work, as he is an authentic bearer of the Church’s tradition, becomes tradition. As with Dostoevsky, Papadiamandis’s faith transforms his work, providing it with an authentically Orthodox spiritual dimension absent in most modern art.
From its first appearance in 1903 The Murderess has been regarded as Alexandros Papadiamandis’s finest work. Set on his native island of Skiathos it tells the story of Hadoula, a widow with grown-up children, who has convinced herself that it is better little girls should leave this life when young so that they and their parents should not suffer the trials that inevitably would be inflicted on them by an inequitable society. He explores the particular quality evil has of disguising itself as good, but without ever passing judgement on the murderess herself. Long considered one of Greece’s most important writers, Papadiamandis’s reflections on modern Greek life define the Greek experience in a way unmatched by any of his contemporaries.
Alexandros Papadiamandis lived in the midst of an uncertain age of transition for modern Greece. It was a period of post-Enlightenment turmoil that followed closely on the heels of Greece’s War of Independence, when the traditional old ways were being undermined and were fast disappearing under the pressure of the indiscriminate adoption of western mores and ideas. His reflections on and observations of some of the most complex facets of Greek life in both his native island of Skiathos and in urban Athens during this time define the modern Greek experience in a manner unattained by any of his now forgotten contemporaries. His loving attachment to the old traditional ways have marked him out for some as conservative, even reactionary, but it was an attachment tempered with an innate and deep understanding of how the past breathes life into the present.
Hymns and chants of Orthodox hymnography adapted in an unprecedented way, blending the Byzantine tradition with influences of contemporary blues, rock and jazz, creating exciting sounds that transport the listener to new realms of joy and inspiration.

– As per the order of the definite Court, the Insurance Regulatory and improve Authority of India (IRDAI) has mandated for all the general insurance providers of India similar to National Car Insurance Company to come up with the money for multi-year third-party insurance to the vehicles that are sold after September 1st of 2018. In extra words, we can say that rather than offering single year third-party insurance policy, the insurance providers will have to pay for three years insurance coverage to the cars and five years insurance scheme to the two-wheelers.
Option two: You can buy a cumulative insurance plan for three years, which will be completely costly and not recommended.

Even while you complete not have a marginal than paying more premiums upon your vehicle insurance due to this multi-year insurance policy, but this find as well as has some benefits. allow us discuss them.
No-Need to hurry for the Insurance Renewal all Year: Even even if you have to pay more premium but you are paying it collectively for three/five years. This means you accomplish not have to pay the premium of your third-party insurance policy for three to five years depending upon your vehicle. in the past you have paid the premiums in advance, you infatuation not upset very nearly renewing the insurance policy all year. every you have to do is to pay the premium later than and get the liberty from the renewal of your policy for three to five years as per your vehicle.
You Can Easily harbor Your Insurance Provider: Taking an insurance plot for three or five years does not objective that you have lost every the hopes to change your insurance provider for this tenure. This find or scheme gives you full flexibility for porting your insurance provider to acquire greater than before coverage and the best deals in the same way as the deals offered upon National Insurance Car renewals.
It along with provides you tutelage adjacent to authentic liabilities incurring because of the death, injury, or damage caused to a third-party.
It must be clearer to you that a third-party insurance cover does not come up with the money for any auspices to your own vehicle and for the thesame you have to buy a collect insurance plan.
Since the behave has mandated third-party insurance cover for giving you financial guidance against any accidental expenses occurred to third-party, hence for covering your own vehicle adjoining any loss or damage you must say you will a amassed insurance plan. For this, you can opt for any of the above-mentioned options.
The premiums of the mass plans depend upon various factors such as make and model of your car, safety devices installed in your vehicle, intention of your car/ bike, and the place where you are staying.
So, if you have any plans of purchasing a further car or bike, then be ready to shed some further money in taking multi-year third-party insurance subsequent to your vehicle. while many of you would argue or disagree exceeding the requirement of this move, but it will no question increase the attach of insured cars and bikes plying on the roads of India.
The biggest winner in the car donation process is usually the donor and not the bureau recipient. But if you take your time, ignore the quick and easy television appeals, and find a reputable, high-performing bureau that will create the most of your donation, next you can maximize the amount that actually gets to society and minimizes your risk of an IRS audit.
If at all possible, avoid the for-profit intermediary organizations that advertise suitably pervasively to handle your car donations. By finding a activity that handles the transaction themselves, you can ensure that 100% of the profits remain at the charity. It’s practicable that the charities you already withhold have a car-donation program that you don’t know about. Check bearing in mind them first. If not, complete a little research, and find a high-performing intervention that does the kind of play-act you like, in the region you wish to target, and does that affect well.
While many organizations can allegation non-profit status, donations to 501 (c) (4) organizations are generally not tax-deductible. These are political organizations in imitation of entrance to lobby our government; taking into account Disabled American Veterans or the National Rifle Association. create definite your expected recipient has 501 (c) (3) public action status.
Otherwise, you can deserted deduce the amount that the help sells the car for at auction as indicated upon the written receipt the bureau sends you.
. Additionally, if your car is worth more than $500, you must final section A of the IRS Form 8283 and enlarge it to your yearly taxes. Furthermore, if your car is worth over $5,000, after that you must have an independent appraisal and occupy out Section B of IRS Form 8283.

The primary orientation of these series of conferences is the reporting of new research in the general area of mathematical modelling of Manufacturing Systems.
Manufacturing Systems are broadly interpreted to include not only the basic production system used in the manufacture of the product but the material and product flow lines and information systems from supplier to final customer including the final disposal or recycling of the product.
The scope of "design" as far as the conference is concerned, incorporates the overall conceptual design as well as the more detailed sub-system design.
"Analysis" covers not only understanding how the manufacturing system operates but also how it should be used to achieve desired operations management and top level company objectives.
The conference particularly welcomes papers related to the use of analytical and mathematical methods to industrial based projects.
The conference will be held in the town of Tinos on the island of Tinos, Greece. Tinos, the third largest in size island of Cyclades Islands covers an area of 196 sq.Km. and has approximately 7.900 inhabitants. The island of Virgin Mary as it is known to the locals is located southeast of Andros island and northwest of the isle of "Mykonos". It offers abundant natural beauty, a mild climate, fertile valleys, archaeological sites like the ruins of Poseidon's ( Neptune ) temple and magnificent churches, monasteries and museums.

And so I came to be sat in the Encaustic Art Plus workshop (part 2) on a beautiful autumnal monday…did you know, as cold as it is, that winter doesn’t officially start until the winter solstice 21st December?!
I digress…back to Elsecar Heritage Centre, green “pinnie” neatly tied behind me, warm iron waiting and lots more vivid colours calling me from the tin I’m awaiting first instructions from Brian Nelson once again…..
Today’s workshop will build on skills we learned previously and explore other methods and techniques that can be combined to introduce variety to our encaustic painting. We’re going to use stamping and hotplate techniques and I’m excited by the sight of a nugget of gold beeswax lurking toward the edge of the tin…..
First up, tree inked, stamped and “fixed” with beeswax before overpainting with the liquid gold that appears as I place my nugget on the iron. My encaustic tree grows beneath something resembling the Aurora Borealis.
A slight change in direction and we’re off to the depths of the ocean. The stylus tool picks out the detail of the ocean floor and a solitary star fish.
Something slightly different next…we dismantle our irons and with all the anticipation and excitement that comes with a child’s Transformer toy they become a personal hotplate.
The play of beeswax on the heated surface of the card presents new opportunity and challenge in equal measure.
The introduction of a “palette” to paint from as melted beeswax is transferred via stamps to a second card…reheated to create an opportunity for a wax-drawn forest floor beneath the broccoli like trees.
A sheet full of vivid molten wax is transformed when introduced to another stamp…the iconic VW Camper emerges from the molten heat of Hell.
The versatility of this medium and the vibrance of the available colours have warmed another cold afternoon which has passed all too quickly.
Fortunately there is just enough time left to consolidate all the tools and techniques we have worked with over the two workshops and create our very own encaustic masterpiece, so……………….. Here Be Dragons!
Always keen to learn something new I treated myself to a half day workshop with Brian Nelson at Encaustic Art Plus, Elsecar. I use the word “treat” advisedly! The afternoon was full of fun thanks to Brian’s excellent tuition and the company of him and the other workshop attendees. We were all up and running really quickly with some basic techniques…who would have thought that ironing could be so much fun!!!
My Beeswax colour is selected (I chose to start with vivid) and my iron is set to somewhere in the region of a silk setting. Now I know it is unlikely I will burn myself severely I’m ready to paint.
Spreading a background colour, creating lines using the edge and point of the iron and manipulating the wax using different parts of the sole plate.
I have carved wax before, but encaustic painting is completely different – liquid, runny and far less predictable than wax in its solid state, but it’s interesting to work with less control.
Using only one colour, but with a small residue from the previous picture, placing and dragging the iron creates a background “mountain”.
Placing and lifting the iron in the foreground creates the sense of depth and the effect of foliage. The side of the iron carves out the meadow grass. This feels really satisfying!
With a little more colour, thought and skill we are able to introduce a whole mountain range in the background. A body of water is created in the mid ground and a pathway through the foliage in the foreground to the lake beyond.
With the introduction of the stylus tool we can add fantasy castles, fences, flower heads and picket fences…this is a real revelation!
And finally we are introduced to the scraper tools and stamps – the opportunity to add finer detail to the finished images.
It’s refreshing to work in a different medium once in a while and I have thoroughly enjoyed this fluidity of this particular adventure.

2017 Riesling: Rose petals, mature honeysuckle and ripe star fruit resonate with opulent clarity aromatically. The classy vibrant dry flavors are supported by a focused pleasant chalky minerality that slowly re-takes a path to the dominant juicy fruit flavors. Outstandingly complex Riesling.
2017 Pinot Gris: An Alsatian style Pinot Gris that starts with nuances of rich nectar and fresh spring blossoms. Focused ripe lemon, citrus and Asian pear unfold. A fruit base and a flinty undertone expressing our grape-growing mountainous region evolve. Just a touch of residual sugar balances this gem of a wine. Lean; clean, elegant and refined.
2017 Pinot Grigio: Elegant honeydew, honeysuckle, quince and crushed pineapple in this fine wine. Austere and balanced. A perfect aperitif or for sipping with friends while sharing a meal. Elegant and savory in two words.

The history of the Andrade family in the production of and love for coffee began in 1901, when the producer’s ancestors arrived in Carmo do Paranaíba, in the high Cerrado Mineiro region of Minas Gerais. In the 1970s, the Andrade brothers, the third generation of the family, reestablished coffee farms in the region. Rodrigo is following in his father’s footsteps. He acquired Fazenda São Bento, establishing the fourth generation of coffee production. The farm has well-defined seasons, an altitude of around 1100 m.a.s.l. and balanced rain and heat. Nature does its job, and the brothers learned from their ancestors that the least they could do is respect the environment, thus they always strive to preserve it as best as possible.
Processing is natural. The coffee is picked at the perfect stage of maturation, presenting a maximum of 10% green coffee cherries. After the harvest, the coffee passes through a bean selector to create the micro-lots. When the coffee comes from the fields, it goes through equipment that removes sticks, straw, stones and beans with full defects, as well as leaves. The objective of this first selection is to have only ideal fruits, through color selection (analyzing close to 160 points on the surface of the fruit), will be separated into green, ripe and overripe/dry (floaters), with three different exit spouts. The difference between this process and the traditional washing and drying process is that no water is used at any moment. This enables the farm to reduce problems with fermentation and increase the quality of the beans by not wearing away the outer skin. It also promotes more uniform drying by not mixing fruits at different stages of maturation. The stage of maturation chosen for this lot was ripe cherry. The lot was fermented for 36 hours in tanks until the mass reached 25°C. Then the coffee was taken to African beds to dry, spread in 5 cm layers. The drying is slower, resulting in a higher-quality and more uniform coffee, with exotic, fruity notes. The improved aeration better inhibits the growth of undesirable microorganisms (fermentation).
Fazenda São Bento is extremely concerned with quality. At every stop along the process, there is exceptional control of quality, from production, post-harvest, warehousing and extensive quality control. The sensorial profile and traceability of each plot on the farm is known. This is fundamental and directly affects the quality of the product, resulting in a high quality, consistent product for consumers.

It's that time of the month! No, not that time. It's time for my monthly Paper Pumpkin craft kit! I get so excited when I see that little orange box sitting on my doormat out front. This month's kit is the "Love You A Lot" kit and it's filled with everything I need to create eight beautiful cards.
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly craft subscription and I've received so many wonderful project kits to complete over the past months. Each kit comes with all the supplies needed to finish the project, except for maybe your scissors.
The "Love You A Lot" kit includes a photopolymer stamp set, two different colors of Stampin' Up! ink pads, 8 cards in 2 colors, 8 white cardstock pieces, 2 sheets of ready-to-assemble paper bows, 8 kraft pockets, two colors of baker's twine, 50 adhesive dots, and 50 adhesive 3D foam dots.
Paper Pumpkin craft kits always come with an instructional pamphlet that shows step by step instructions (with photos) on how to do each project. They even have online videos of each project if you prefer to watch someone else do it.
I first started my project by laying out all the pieces and punching out the bow papers. The kraft pockets were so easy to create - just fold and peel the adhesive strip off to secure them. Then I strung the baker's twine through the pre-punched holes at the top of each pocket.
At first I was intimidated at the thought of making a bow, but Paper Pumpkin makes it so easy! I took one of the bow papers and wrapped each side around my finger to curve the paper (making sure not to crease the folds) and then secured the edges in back with the little adhesive dots.
Next, I took the long bands and wrapped them around the pockets, attaching them in back with more little adhesive dots. I'm always amazed at the quality of Paper Pumpkin supplies. Stampin' Up! is the parent company, so I know I'm getting great stuff!
Once all the pockets were wrapped with bands, I used the foam adhesives to attach each bow on top of the bands. I love to make three-dimensional projects! Over the months, I've learned to keep the little orange shipping box nearby - it works as a handy trash can and I don't end up with little pieces on the carpet.
After finishing up the pockets, I set up for the stamping part of the project. The cardboard piece that comes in each kit works as a great background so I don't get ink on my table. Each photopolymer stamp peels easily off the clear plastic sheet and can be stored back on it after use.
I put each stamp on a block then stamp the little inkpad on top of the upward facing stamp so I can see when the stamp is fully inked. Then I just firmly pressed it on the little cardstock pieces to make different cards for different occasions.
The stamped pieces dried quickly and I attached them to the folded colored cards and wrote little notes inside. Then I tucked them into the pockets and they are ready to give! The entire project took me about thirty minutes from start to finish. I am so pleased with them!
You, too, can experience the joy of receiving a Paper Pumpkin box every month! Just sign up for your Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription HERE. You can also follow them on Pinterest for fun craft ideas. Be sure to enter below to win!

Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District (Rincon Water) invites you to a special one-day Rain Barrel Distribution Event on Saturday, February 16, from 9 a.m. to noon at 1920 North Iris Lane, Escondido.
This event is co-hosted by Rincon Water, the Solana Center, the County of San Diego, the Garden, and the San Diego County Water Authority. With a 50-gallon capacity, the rain barrels offered through this event are designed to capture water from a roof and hold it for later use such as on lawns, gardens or indoor plants. “Collecting roof runoff in rain barrels reduces the amount of water that flows from your property. It’s a great way to conserve water and it’s free water for use in your landscape,” said Julia Escamilla, Rincon Water’s Public Information Officer.
Rincon Water customers, as well as customers of other water agencies located in North San Diego County, must pre-order rain barrels online (rainbarrelprogram.org/sandiego) before February 10 in order to participate in the Rain Barrel Distribution Event. Everyone who purchases a rain barrel is eligible for a $35 rebate (limit two rebates per household), bringing the net cost of a rain barrel to $55. Visit SoCalWaterSmart.com for details and to determine your eligibility, as restrictions apply.
For residents in unincorporated areas, San Diego County is offering an additional $30 discount (up to 2 per household) for the first 200 rain barrels sold! For these customers, the net price of a rain barrel is $25.
Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District is an independent, special district dedicated to providing potable and recycled water to approximately 30,000 people in a 42-square-mile area that includes Escondido, San Marcos, San Diego, and other surrounding unincorporated areas through nearly 8,000 connections.

Appliance Service for Oconee County, Lakes Keowee and Jocassee, Clemson, and portions of Pickens County - Open 9:00 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday.
It is with regret that I am closing the Midlands office effective July 1, 2016. However, because of the illness of my husband I am no longer able to cope with the logistics of managing 2 offices 154 miles apart. Paul is finally home with me now but his recovery will be a long, slow process. I thank you for all your prayers and support during his 3-month hospitalization, without it, I am sure we could not have made it through this dark chapter.
Closing was not an easy decision but we worked with our employees to find other positions and did not set the date for the closing until everyone found new jobs. I want to thank Jeff Yazel, the Regional Manager, for his dedication and as his mother (and employer) could not be more proud of the job he has done in Columbia.

Friendship to fraternity, a bond between kids who became men.
I can easily describe to you the day my parents expressed the words to me, “You are who you hang out with!” Looking back, I can't help but to laugh, not because of what they said, but rather what they didn't know. What they didn't know was more who they didn't know and that someone was me.
Growing up in the state of Texas, you're surrounded by stories of struggle and survival. Our family was no exception. Deep in the heart of the West side of San Antonio is where I credit the beginning of the life I have today. What was routine in the eyes of my parents was anything but routine. In the fifth grade my sister and I walked through the Casiano Homes just to get to school. The Casianos was an area surrounded by bullies, drug dealers, and gangs. At any given moment we could have been cornered, so we ran from complex to complex until we got to school. There were times we made it without altercation, then again, there were days I fist fought some kid allowing my sister to get away. With no friends and alone, we survived.
All that changed for us the day my parents enrolled us into the Calderon Boys & Girls Club. My parents paid thirty dollars for a registration fee which gave us a membership for a year. Unknowingly, what we saw as a place of recreation became a second home, a safe haven.
On our first day attending my sister and I walked in together. Immediately I could smell the chlorine to my right and hear the splashes of the pool. We stood gazing through the glass doors, watching in amazement as kids jumped off the diving boards. We felt like it was a fairy tale. My sister was so scared to go in, I had to pull her arm until she finally let go of the door. Then we made our way and toured the facility. Climbing up the stairs, we found the Golden Gloves Boxing Gym on the second floor which overlooked the basketball courts.
It was there on that second floor, looking down onto the court, I fell in love with basketball. I was so filled with joy; I grabbed my sister and ran downstairs. On our way down, my sister discovered Bumper Pool, a game unknown to either of us at the time. My sister stayed and played while I walked into the gym.
When I finally made it to the gym I introduced myself to a kid who would become a lifelong friend. His name is, Hector. Over the course of the year we went from basketball to baseball, then Pop Warner Football. What started out as meeting one kid turned into a team. There was Hector, Manuel, Jerry, Anthony, and later Oscar, Erick and Tony. Our friendship developed into a fraternity, a bond between kids who would one day become men.
What I found was a connection to the path of the life I was to have. Despite the age difference between us at one time or another, we all played together on teams or played on the same fields or courts, competing against each other’s statistics. Regardless of the outcomes of games it has been the outcome in life that had kept us close for over 15 years.

It was our third stay there and everything was great. The staff is very nice and friendly,the place is clean and its location is very good. We hope to be back again!
Very friendly hosts, very comfortable mattress, great central location and delicious Cumbrian breakfast. Thank you!
A couple of minutes walk from bus and railway stations,and on the edge of shops,pubs,and restaurants, Green Gables Guest House is ideally situated for the traveler.Comfortable and friendly,just what you want after an exhausting day.
We spent a short break in Windermere and Green Gables was very close to all the restaurants and transport connections that we needed.Excellent breakfasts and comfortable rooms so would recommend.
Very friendly staff and lovely warm and clean room . Certainly stay again on our next visit !
Great place to stay. The beds were very comfortable, really quiet at night, friendly hosts and a fab breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for 3 nights at Green Gables, the hospitality was great, our hosts could not do enough for us. Delicious breakfast, cooked to order, it filled us up untildinner time. Other guests were friendly and although the guest house is just off the main road in Windermere it was not at all noisy. Free parking right outside. Beds really comfy, we all slept so well after a days walking. Nice tough to have bathrobes as well as towels in the room. I would highly recommend. Only downside was our private bathroom was across the hallway not en suite.
We stayed at green gables for the weekend. The guest house is kept very clean and has all the commodities you could need. What made our stay stand out for us was the excellent service, Carol is wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The guest house felt like home. I couldnt reccomend it more.
My stay at Green Gables was short and sweet. From the moment I walked in, it was as if I was being welcomed into someone’s home. Thank you!!
Green Gables is in a great location, making walking an option if going into town to eat/drink/shop. Our room was clean and offered all that we needed. Fabulous bathroom with wonderful pressure from shower. Our breakfast, cooked by Jillian, set us up for the day, and was cooked to order.Carole, Jillian and Alex were friendly, helpful and friendly.We were sad to leave, feeling we had made some new friends. The hosts, are the jewels in this crown!
A lovely B&B in the centre of Windermere, we were welcomed warmly by the owner. The room was large enough, good bathroom and comfortable bed. Only tiny little thing was that there were no hooks to hang your jacket on. You have to hang them in the closet. For the rest, perfect, nice breakfast , recommended!
Great B&B, wonderful people taking warm and good care. Great breakfast! Comfortable room, location near centre and railwaystation.
A great experience from start to finish. Lovely, clean quiet room. Excellent breakfast, and lovely breakfast conversations. We couldn't be happier with our stay there! Thanks to Alex and his staff for welcoming us.
We really enjoyed our stay here at green gables, the hosts and staff were incredibly friendly, nothing was any trouble, very accomadating for my 1 year old very clean and good sized rooms.
Exceptionally clean beds and rooms. Very friendly. Excellent breakfast. Most enjoyable stay. Thank you.
Great location. Very welcoming owners and staff. The room was lovely and clean and the bed, wow! so comfy. The breakfast was excellent, thanks Carol.
We had a lovely stay at green gables guest house breakfasts were very nice. Beds were comfy showers were great. The owners and staff were all nice and chatty really made you feel welcome.
What a lovely property! Excellent location in Windermere, close to shopping, pubs, restaurants, parking, the lake, all the organised outdoor activities a family needs. Carol and Alex are top hosts, really charming, friendly and very helpful. Cosiest beds I have ever slept in, better than many 4*. Soft fluffy towels for en suite. Good quality décor. Everything you need to be comfortable and well looked after at the accommodation and did I say what a brilliant location for the lakes and Grizedale Forest? We loved it. Thanks for making a drizzly weekend full of comfort and fun!
Lovely couple who run this bed and breakfast. Rooms are cosy, breakfast is good, and they are so lovely.
Green Gables guest house is a friendly, clean and comfortable place to stay. Breakfast was good with plenty of variety. Would stay here again.
Just had an excellent 2 night stay at the Green Gables. The owners are so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was gorgeous. And we had a lovely comfy bed. Would definitely stay again. Location is spot on too.
Very nice and convenient location for visiting the lakes. Good stay in a nice and cosy family room. The private bathroom was just next door. Good cooked breakfast, but small choice of continental breakfast.
We really had a good time. Breakfast was really nice and shower was fantastic. Hope to se you all again one day.
Room, bed, and food excellent.However, there was NO information ANYWHERE of the password for logging into WiFi and send/receiving emails.
Very friendly welcome and made to feel comfortable straight away.Place was perfect for us, bed were comfortable, cleaness, and the breakfast was the best.Great location as right in middle of town so we were close to shops, bars and restaurants.Great owmers with great personality.
Fantastic service, attentive, helpful and lovely staff! Really accommodating as we had a 6 month old baby. Good breakfast and great atmosphere. Best pillows andbed I've slept in that wasn't my own! Basic bathroom needs an update but overall excellent easy location and value for money.
Warm and friendly greeting, good location, best night sleep in any b&b the bed was so comfortable.All in all a lovely relaxing stay would definitely recommend.
Nice place but had a hot water problem. Great breakfast.
绝佳的地理位置，非常好的房间服务和贴心的房东，很好的入住体验。Excellent location, very good room service and caring landlord, good stay.
We recently stay at Green Gables guesthouse while in Lake District. The friendly of the staff made our stay, they were so welcoming and made our little boy feel so at home. The location is excellent, literally a two minute walk into town. I would definitely recommended staying, especially if you have a young family.
One night only stay. Lovely friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Clean homely accommodation. Top floor bedroom a bit small and if we stayed again we would ask for a bigger bedroom on a lower floor. Great location just off the high street.
The host is super nice, friendly and sweet. they will give you lots of advice as a local and the room is clean and beautiful.
Really friendly and would stay again.
Very nice place to stay. Clean and worm in quiet area however in a centre of the town. Cracking brakefast and friendly owners.
Very pleasant guest house with a warm &friendly greeting. Breakfast was excellent and generous. Rooms were tidy and spacious though bathroom could have been a little cleaner. All-in-all a good little guest house to stay at.
Staff were really nice and we enjoyed our stay. The place is close to restaurants and shops.The room was clean. We were on the top floor so the heating wasn't very strong there. However, duvets were warm. We also had our own bathroom, but it was outside of the room.Breakfast was really nice.
unfortunately we went in mid feb but a delight to stay at, the bedroom was very clean and well presented with a private separate bathroom, lovely and warm, the dining room is fantastic with all the mixture of breakfast you could want and the staff are so helpful and lovely to talk to and I'm sure we will be going back when the weather improves and would recommend to anyone.
No problems with this hotel! Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, great location!
This is an excellent guest house. I was made to feel very welcome by the very pleasant proprietors. The single room I had was warm and comfy, with everything I needed to hand. The breakfast was superb, probably the best cooked breakfast I've had at either a B&B or hotel. All of this came at a very good price indeed. I will definitely want to visit again.
Clean, tidy, excellent breakfast and very friendly service. Would recommend.
Excellent. Stayed in twin room with private bathroom. Clean and comfortable. My daughter is vegan and they were able to accomodste her breakfast. Would stay here again.
Had a lovely one night stay for the Christmas markets. Owners were very welcoming and friendlyTravelled as part of family with children.Room clean and good size for the 4 of us.
Our second time here and once again thoroughly enjoyed it. So welcoming and our kids loved it too. Thank you Green Gables. See you next time.
Friendly owners who cared very much for our needs during our stay.Good size and clean room. We had our own shower/toilet that was just across the hallway that was modern and very clean.When we arrived it had been raining heavily and our clothes were soaked through the owners offered to dry out clothes that were then ready later that evening. Lovely full english breakfast with vegetarian options.
Stayed for two nights and the room and bathroom were lovely and clean. Breakfast was excellent and the staff made us feel ever so welcome and couldn't do enough for us. My wife suffers with ME which rules out mornings but they worked around us and even did her a separate breakfast when she had woke. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Alex, the owner was friendly and helpful. The house was warm and cosy. The breakfast had a good spread.Other than the low water pressure in the shower and toilet in the room we stayed in,we had a nice and welcoming stay.
So glad I chose this accommodation. Owner very accommodating to my requests and provides a clean and comfortable place to stay. Would definitely use Green Gables again.
Welcoming owners. The room was very very clean, cosy and had everything you would need. Outdated bathroom but I can see they are in the process of updating bathrooms. Anyway no complaints as it was clean and the shower worked. We didn't attend breakfast as it was 8.30-9. Tad early on a holiday.
Family ran guest house. clean and tidy. good breakfast. warm welcome. nice owners. we took our two sons with us for the night and they both liked it. will return when we need a guest house in Windermere.
I telephoned the Proprietor and asked if I could arrive at lunchtime. He said that was fine.On arrival he chatted to me and showed me my room and the facilities. Asked me if I had any questions and gave me the keys. He advised me about bus travel which was very helpful.The room was beautiful and a very comfortable bed and lovely private bathroom with a bathrobe provided. Breakfast was really good and a very pleasant dining room. It was good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in a central location of Windermere.
I had a very pleasant stay and will be back.
Excellent stay at this guest house. Lovely and clean, perfect location, superb staff and a breakfast I would call the 'best I have ever had' thank you so much. Will be back.
We really enjoyed our stay at Green Gables. It is in an excellent location and the hosts were really friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were some of the best we have ever tasted made with very high quality foods. Would definitely recommend.
the room is lovely and really comfortable! breakfast is great, staff is very friendly.It makes us feel home in this small town.
Lovely guest house! It is in a great location, near bus stops making it easy to travel without a car. It was very clean and cosy. The breakfast was fab and the hosts were very friendly.
As titled ladies at breakfast were very pleasant and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was a good selection and very tasty.Room was a little cramped and as the 2 rooms on the same floor were empty was disappointed we weren't put up in one of the bigger and lighter rooms.However we had a pleasant stay and was good value for money and great location close to town centre.
I booked this room for an overnight stay whilst doing business in Coniston. Very welcoming and the room and breakfast were very good. Would come here again and definitely recommend Green Gables Guest House to my friends.
Weather was so good we decided to stay over in Windermere. Managed to get into the Green Gables early evening vi the Internet. We had a warm welcome from the Landlord even at such late notice and were given a lovely cosy room. We slept like babies but unfortunately for us we were working the next day so had to leave before breakfast. On our next visit we will definately be sampling the breakfast! Good value all round!
We stayed one night at Green Gables the location was good very near to restaurants and a variety of eating places. Parking was either opposite in a carpark or outside street parking which was fine, Night was hot room was on the small side we struggled with a limited amount of window that we could open.Breakfast was good Host was helpful.
Our family had a pleasant stay at Green Gables. The hosts were charming, the beds comfy, the place clean and the breakfast great. Would recommend it any time.
I was in the area for a wedding and they were very accommodating as I needed to check in earlier than I expected.Room was just what I needed spacious ensuite. All clean, bed was comfortable.Breakfast was lovely just what was needed after a wedding.Lovely, friendly couple who made me feel very welcome whilst waiting for my friends to arrive.Would definitely stay here again.
Cleaned confortable and nice staff.
Honestly from the minute we arrived we felt welcomed. We had just finished a exhausting wildcamp over 3 days and we were sun burnt. They went out of their way to give us after sun and a phone charger so we could get home again. Wonderful people.Wonderful place. However, the shower could use a update as it was a pain in the backside.
We checked in quite late due to attending a wedding event. But the staff were understanding and let us check in after the event. This helped us a alot.The rooms where very spacious and you get your own bathroom which is rare. Usually share a communal bathroom from past experience so it was a bonus. Bedrooms themselves are nice and the beds are soft so basically passed out.Full breakfast starts at 8.30am but couldn't have any due to a tight schedule. Before half 8 it was only cereal and toast but this was fine with us.Overall the staff are very friendly and funny and and can have a chat for ages. Would recommend to anyone.
Warm welcome by Alex and very nice experience in talking with him. During breakfast, Carol took good care of us with good foods provided. Thanks for your help.
Very comfortable, warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Rooms were excellent, clean and tidy. Within five minutes of Windermere. Breakfast was well presented and cooked to perfection. Well worth a revisit.
Staff were really friendly and welcomeing, room and bathroom were lovely.breakfast was excellent.we would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Green Gables Guest House in Windermere.We had a lovely breakfast each morning.
The owner were very kind and caretaking. The food was awesome , the room was neat and clean and all facilities were present. Will certainly suggest to everyone to stay their. The room location was also very good.
Good sized room, comfortable beds, clean and well appointed. Good vfm.Owners friendly and helpful. Quiet area with municipal car park opposite.I would return here.
Really great location. Very homely, clean and the owners are lovely. Very friendly place to stay. Highly recommended.
Green Gables makes me and my family feel like going home. It is nice and cozy, run by friendly hosts. We love chatting them. We felt that it should be a 4 star B&B.
I was travelling along and looking for a quite weekend out of the city.The guest house is really close to the station and to an area full of restaurants and shops.The staff were really nice from the very begining.The room was big enough, very clean and my bathroom was in front of it.The breakfast was amazing.I really enjoy my stay there. It's really worth it!
We had an enjoyable stay at Green Gables. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was a little dated, but the linen was clean and fresh. We occupied the family room, which had a separate shower room and worked fine for us. The location near to the centre of Windermere was a positive point as facilities are close and not too far to walk down to Bowness. We were pleased with our choice of accommodation.
We stayed here overnight with a young child and the staff are welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast is good portion and delish! I would highly recommend them.
Nothing was too much trouble from the management from the comfort,cleanliness,friendliness and general atmosphere. I personally regret that we didn't stay longer and would hope to return in the future.
Lovely service, comfy room and homey feel. Good on budget too. Would recommend.
We loved this place first time and it was just as good second time. So nice and welcoming we look forward to coming back again.
Lovely stay, cheap and cheerful. Lovely people and 10 out of 10 for the breakfast.
Room is very clean and comfortable. Better than I expect.
Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Great location. Like home away from home.
I got a courtesy call from the hotel about my eta. When I said train delay made me miss my connection Carol said no problem and proceeded todrive from her hotel in Windermere to oxenholme train station(approx 15 miles) picked me up and took me to the hotel. If that is not service above and beyond the call of duty I don't know what is. Amazing !!!!
Very friendly, clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast.
I was so looking forward to staying Green Gables. Because it reminded me of my favorite book 'Green Gables of Ann'.Actually it didn't dissapointed us. We could stay there comfortabley. Breakfast was great.Staffs are all kind and nice. Thank you.
Extremely nice establishment, comfy room, breakfast most satisfactory and location near to the town.
Lovely stay at Green Gables and Carol was a very hospitable lady. We managed to get a park outside and it was an easy walk to the centre of town to eat, do laundry etc. thanks.
Thank you for a lovely stay and the great advice on how to see the local area while we were there for such a short time.Clean and comfortable rooms and well located in Windermere.
Great location. Friendly staff.Facilities needed some TLC.Wifi poor and no TV signal.Breakfast very good.
staff is very helping. break fast was excellent. great location.needs improvement to the room condition and toilets.
Great location, close walk to lake and walking distance to Marley. Properly cooked English breakfast and absolutely lovely staff. Room was very comfortable with all the supplies in abundance.
Very friendly helpful hosts. All the staff are extremely cheerful and hard working. We had a great stay and the full english cooked breakfast was the best ever. Thank you.
A short weekend with my daughter was made all the more enjoyable by the pleasant stay in this guest house. Near to town, all staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Lovely stay in a beautiful part of the country. Made very welcome. Great breakfast. Comfortable stay.
We felt very welcomed and well looked after, the room was cosy and comfortable, I wasn't sure if I would find the separate (private) bathroom an issue with our room, but it was actually fine and even had its advantages! Thanks to our hosts also from serving up a lovely breakfast every day and dealing with our various dietary requirements!
Very homely atmosphere, very clean,welcoming staff, good location to local amenities, parking excellent, in all a very nice weekend.
We only stayed one night at the "Green Gables". Carol madeus very welcome, room was lovely and clean, beds comfy and a great cooked breakfast. We would definitely stay again.
Friendly team and a great breakfast and a good location. Personally prefer an en suite bathroom, but good place for a group.
Location is convenient. Spacious ensuite room. Good breakfast.
We had a lovely stay in the family room. The bathroom was separate but we did not mind this because we had 2 single beds. My granddaughters don't like bunk beds. The room was clean, bright &spacious. The bathroom was very modern. The breakfast was delicious with nothing too much trouble for the very friendly owners. It is very close to town &bus stops. We really recommend this B&B.
I really enjoyed and had a good rest, because the staff are very kind, and the room is almost like my home.Very nice breakfast!
Lovely house, lovely and kind treatment.
We were warm welcomed by Alex and his wife.They prepared breakfast a bit earlier for us to enable us to catch our sight-seeing schedule.The English breakfast was wonderful.It was pity to plan staying one night only.
Quirky B&B, friendly welcoming hosts and a great breakfast.
Stayed bank holiday weekend. We had a fabulous time. Carol and all were fantastic. Made us very welcome. Very comfortable room at a very reasonable price. We would thoroughly recommend Green Gables to anyone great location for Windermere and Bowness.
Very amiable hosts who made me breakfast early because I had a race to go to. Bedroom was clean and had everything I needed.
We were staying night for the Brathay Windermere marathon and we would have liked our breakfast at 7 to let food settle before the run, but the BnB male host said he wouldn't do it earlier than 7:30. This meant we sorted out own breakfast, however in the morning the female host said she would have come early! The shower was also difficult to work and although warm there was no temperature adjustment. It was clean though and bed was comfy.
Please see below review - same day - same event.
My friend and I enjoyed our stay there.The room is clean and my friend commented that the cooked breakfast was lovely.Alex obliged by helping us to carry down our heavy luggage.Would love to stay there again next time as it has a good location;within walking distance to the shops/eating places.Thanks for allowing us to stay in your lovely B&B.
Green gables is a super B and B in the centre of Windermere, I stayed on the ground floor and had all the facilities needed. On arrival I had a warm welcome and was shown the breakfast room, which was all set out for the morning ,starting at 8.30am.Managed to get parking in broad street.Wow the breakfast was brill and on heated plates, I ate every bit, a lovely flat mushroom to, toast tea, juice , cereal, excellent value for money and everything within walking distance, certainly gets the thumbs up from me.
The Green Gables Guest House a cute and cozy little guest house in the Lakes District. My room was warm, comfortable and bed gave me a great nights sleep. All the staff at guest house made me feel very welcoming, safe and secure.If I ever come back to Windermere I'll definitely be staying again.Thank you for everything!
Very nice people and nice hotel too!
The Owner is friendly and helpful.We felt home.Breakfast was great ! traditional &cosy !Well located.Will highly recommend.
Warm and comfortable enough room, although shower pressure a little low. Good breakfast.
Had an amazing stay in Green Gables. Had a warm welcome along with helpful advice regarding what to visit in the area. Spotless room.Had a lovely sleep, with a beautiful full English breakfast in the morning! Could not have asked for more. Will definitely visit again!!
This couple booked a double room and then turned up with a two and a half year old boy. The unpleasantness referred to was our incredulity at not having been told that a child was coming and effectively making them aware of the protocol when booking rooms that ALL persons that are to be accommodated MUST be notified to the establishment. Whether an extra bed is required or not is immaterial.
Clean and adequate. Good position. Friendly staff.
We had a warm welcome and a very pleasant and comfortable stay at the "Green Gables Guest House".
Very friendly and welcoming host. Nice room facilitiesand over all accommodation and food was very good. Windermere is a beautiful place and the B&B is located in the central location to the town.
Very comfortable stay with hosts that couldn't do enough for us. Excellent food and comfortable bed. Highly recommend this establishment.
Location is good. It,s near to Windermere rail station about 8 minutes and bus stop about 2 minutes on foot. The staff are very friendly. The room is tidy, light and clean. Full English Breakfast is really delicious. They accept traveller' cheques.
the room is clean and comfortable! staffs are friendly, breakfast is delicious!
very relaxing stay, great location between windermere and bowness. clean room and very pleasant owners that made your stay welcome.
Green Gables with its excellent location gives you the ideal chance to explore Windermere. Great value for money and everything you need to get your head down for the night. Now you won't find any bells or whistles on these rooms like jacuzzis and a spa but you will find comfy beds, clean linen and usual amenities. The staff are fantastic, enthusiastic and attentive. The breakfast is well made and a great way to start your day (what's better than a full English). If you want modern, spas and generic than go to a hotel. If you want friendly andwholesome with value for money then give Green Gables a try. 4.5 Stars.
We really enjoyed our stay at green gables,everything about our stay was very good our room staff food could be faulted we look forward to coming back in the future.
Quite a late booking, but pleased with the choice. Good sized room for one with all facilities and very helpful owner. I needed to have breakfast at 05.00ish, so arrangement were made including fresh coffee. excellent.
a great guest house I felt comfortable and very at home,the breakfast excellent andthe host`s very accomadating and fun, thanks for a great stay ,hope to visit you all again.
Warm welcome, clean, comfortable, warm, friendly staff, excellent wifi, good shower, convenient location, tasty breakfast all represent fantastic value for money.
Small but well maintained B&B.breakfast served according to indiviual needs. overall very good service compared to price.
Great location, friendly staff. Comfy beds and great breakfast. Clean but dated decor, but great value for money. Would recommend, would return.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We loved the room &all staff were very friendly. We loved the breakfasts, especially Beth with hollow legs. I really don't know where she gets her appetite from!! LolWe would definitely stay with you again.
We had a really nice time in Green Gables Guest House. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. They even recommended things to visit and beautiful roads to follo the next day during our trip. I would recommend Green Gables Guest House to anybody.
Only several minutes to Windermere Railway Station. Cosy rooms and nice host with dilicious breakfast. Highly recommend it to you.
the owner Carol is such a great personnel, i traveled from London by train, was starving when arriving the guest house at around 11 that morning, Carol was so generous to offer us a warm breakfast, thats what hospitality means. Room is a bit old but everything is fine in the guest house.
This was a very nice guest house.The rooms were extremely comfortable.Warm, friendly atmosphere.Excellent breakfast with family friendly innkeepers.
Room was clean and just about the right size for us. Although there was no bathroom in the room we have access to externall one for our exclusive use. The owners and staff was very welcoming and friendly. Full english breakfast was included in price and it was delicious! If I'm ever to get back to Windermere I will definitely try to get the room there first. Highly recommended place to stay.
My friend and I were looking for a single night booking for an event, so cost was a big factor.The green gables is friendly but not intrusive, good quality but not expensive and well situated.Will recommend to friends and family!
Friendly helpful staff, a super comfy bed and a delicious hearty breakfast - what more could you ask for?! Great value for money too - I would definitely go back!
Good value breakfast brilliant location. Absolutely welcoming and helpful staff definitely will come back!
We had a very pleasant stay.Friendly staff, comfortable room and good breakfast.
My stay at Green Gables in the Lake District was just what I needed to get away from London for a couple of days. A warm welcome, comfortable bed, and a lovely breakfast:I had a wonderful stay at Green Gables and would definitely return if I'd visit the Lake District/Windermere again.
I had a nice time at Green Gables Guest House.Breakfast was very good.The room was very clean and comfortable.The only thing is that it's far from Bowness.
We stayed one night with an ensuite room.The room and bath were clean but older.The shower gel dispenser provided, only dispensed one small drop at a time.There was no toilet paper holder.The roll sat on the back of the toilet. We could hear noise from other rooms easily. The bed was extremely lumpy, yet we slept well.A full English breakfast of egg, bacon, sausage, beans, tomato, mushroom, and toast were fixed without asking how we would like our eggs prepared.A choice of cereals, yogurt, and juices were also available.However when booking the room we requested gluten free.The manager in the evening said he hadn't noted that, but thought he had some gluten free sausage. In the morning the ladies said the sausage wasn't taken from the freezer and there was no gluten free bread which they could have provided.We had plenty of food but feel that care of details was not followed through on.
A comfortable and well placed guest house, close to all amenities.Parking was no issue and we received a very warm welcome.Nice sunny room and great breakfast.Facilities generally suit all parties with a cute little bar and very pleasant dining area. Customer service is the best we have received for a long time.Would not hesitate to promote this lovely little place. Will go back soon.
It's a beautiful house and the stuffs are friendly.
My stay felt very homely with very comfortable room and beds, tasty breakfast and very cheerful people all around. Great stay. Two thumbs up.
Honestly, every morning, when I enter the dining room, very good, warm hosted, delicious breakfast, every evening, when I go back to the room, disappointed, very small, and old equipment, exclusive bathroom is out of our room without window. No lock, when I come back, the door was open!
There are only good things to say. Each person who greeted us was friendly and polite. Lovely conversations. The room was lovely. Beds comfy. No noise in the evenings. Gorgeous and prompt breakfast. A very pleasant stay.
Right from the booking till the time we checked out,the experience was great. Extremely helpful,accommodating and friendly.The accommodation itself is ideally located in Windermere town centre and the rooms are comfortable.
We had a great time in the Lake District. Our stay in Green Gables was nice and comfortable. Carol and J(G)illy were great. They looked after us well and we'd recommend this place with no hesitation. The location is extremely convenient with restaurants, supermarkets, fuel all just round the corner and Bowness lake being just 1.5 miles away. Though the pay and display car park is just opposite, I always found a spot on Broad Street where I parked for free for 4 days. All in all a nice, comfortable stay !
The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are welcoming and good fun to chat to. We felt we were well looked after and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
My husband and I had a lovely three days away, the Guest House was comfortable, clean, andwe were made very welcome.We had a choice of cooked breakfast which was cooked fresh for you every morning.We recommend this Guest House to anyone wishing a break.
Good location, clean room, helpful staff and good breakfast. Good value for money. Will stay there again if going to that area.
A very nice place, cosy and comfortable, great people, very friendly staff. Wonderful location.
The hotel is close to all transport, easy to find it. We walked about 10-15 mins with big luggage from railway station. It lies at a quite place without any pubs or busy stores nearby. The details of the room are considered very well which makes the stay warm and comfortable. The hosts are quite nice. It isn't like a hotel but also a visit to an old friend.
I've had a lovely weekend at your Guest House. Thanks for everything!
Nice and fair price to traverler, free parking and good location.
What a comfortable, homely place to use as a base for seeing the lake district. Very clean cosy en-suite room and a fabulous breakfast. A tasty way to start the day. The owners and staff - yes you gilly - make the place great!Would not hesitate to return or recommend to others. Thank you!
The staff was super nice and the breakfast was huge (and there was also a good vegetarian option)! Our room was clean and cosy and the bed was really comfortable. We warmly recommend this place!
Second year in a row that we've stayed here and cannot fault it.Friendly hosts and good accommodation.
Had a great 3 nights b&b. Amazing cooked breakfasts. Ideal location for public transport, train,bus, boats, eating out etc'. Very helpful,happy atmosphere.
good location at windermere, clean and compact room, nice breakfast.
Hosts were very polite and friendly. Breakfast was delicious.Location a short stroll to shops and dining. Room and ensuite were perfectly adequate.
Friendly owner and great breakfast in the mornIng! Highly recommend!
I stayed here a couple of days. B &B. There room was nice and clean and in god order.The service was second to none. The breakfast was goo too.
We just spent 3 lovely relaxing days at the green gables,the staff were really friendly and helpful,rooms were nice and clean and breakfast was great,we would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good value for money break in windemere,looking forward to going back!
We stayed 4 nights in GGGH in Windermere.Hospitality was great with a warm welcome and a "sorry to see you go"farewell.Very convenient room (bed still ok but for how long?) with excellent breakfast.We only could manage 1 full breakfast with the two of us but it was happily splitted and served. Well situated in the center of Windermere with all shops and restaurants on walking distance.Ww had a great time in the Lake District (wonderful motorbike area!!) and the Green Gables is a great place to stay.
The site if this hotel is good.
Stayed here for two nights. The owners/managers are both kind and lovely people. The room is clean but just a little small. The breakfast was lovely.
After a hard day on the fells, Green Gables was a welcoming haven of comfort and good cheer. The room was very well equipped, the bed snuggley comfortable.The road is quiet but very convenient for Windermere's facilities;breakfast is just right and efficiently priduced by cheery staff. All in all a splendid place for a weary walker. Many thanks!
Great location, friendly proprietors, comfy bed and great breakfast! Thank you.
Very warm welcome from all the staff.So friendly.I did not have the full English breakfast but it looked very appetizing andnot greasy.I had porridge made to order from scratch with a banana.Coffee freshly made and would go there again. I booked this for one night on the internet but, according to the brochure, cheaper to book direct!
A nice stay was had by both myself and my wife, Great cooked breakfast to start the day, The room was clean and had everthing that was requred. Many thanks and hope to stay again.
Excellent B&B with friendly staff.
Brilliant value for money,were made very welcome, room was lovely and clean,great breakfast, will definitely stay here again.
Very enjoyable stay! Room was clean, bed was comfortable, service friendly, breakfast was also excellent. We couldn't leave our luggage in the B&B the morning we left, though, as the owners had to go out for an errand, which was a little inconvenient. But otherwise, everything was great.
We received a very warm welcome. The room was more than adequate and was very clean and well presented. The breakfast was excellent. Green Gables is situated in a perfect position for restaurants and pubs. Would definitely stay again.
Staff are very nice and welcoming to children, helpful, delicious breakfast.The only thing was that room was third floor which washard to me as carrying my babyToilet lightwas not working any how I did not inform the hotel staff othwiseit will unresolved.Igot the last room available therefore I didn't ask to change it.Many thanks for the nice accommodation .
We had a marvellous night at Green Gables. We turned up well before check-in, but were welcomed with warm hospitality and given the chance to drop our bags, as well as some helpful hints to getting around lake Windermere. Our room was cozy and comfortable, and the free Wi-Fi allowed us to plan our next day. Breakfast was good, and huge!Great location, wonderful hosts and exceptional value. We'd love to stay again.
Really enjoyed our stay. An excellent location. Very friendly and fun atmosphere. Clean and extremely comfortable room. A very nice cooked breakfast. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our short stay.Got lots of very helpful hints about local attractions.Charming hosts.
Met our expectations for a bed and breakfast.Although old fashion and small, this I believe is what you should expect unless you know or specifically wanted a new building or renovated.I think it gave us a true taste of local hospitality and living conditions.
Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, we had two bikes that were kindly stored for us.The location is fantastic, close to the shops and to the beautiful lake.If we are passing through again we will certainly be in touch, many thanks to Carol and Alex, and the lady (apologies can't remember her name)who cooked us a lovely breakfast.
We are all enjoy the stay.
we arrived around 8 pm and the hosts gave us a warm welcome. Easy to find and the rooms are clean and nice, the traditional English breakfast is impressive, we enjoyed staying there. Highly recommended.
We chose the Green Gables after looking at several guest houses and reviews for somewhere to stay whilst we attending a wedding. We needed en-suite and parking available. The Green Gables was good and free parking was on the street (limited) but we were lucky. There is a pay and display over the road anyway. Perfect location. Room was fine, clean and en-suite. Dining room modern and breakfast excellent. Would stay again if the need arose. My wife missed a full length mirror in the room.
We arrived at Green Gables to be greeted by Carole, who warmly invited us in, after explaining the parking arrangements, which were on street and free! I had a single ground floor room which was perfect for my more senior status and my daughter and her friend had a large twin room on the first floor. Both were well decorated and had all the amenities we could need. At breakfast, which was set in a delightful room, we enjoyed a wide choice of food and nothing was too much trouble for Carole who cooked to order. The breakfast experience was completed by Gillian, who was a delight with her Irish wit and sense of fun. In fact we came as strangers and after just three nights we felt we left as friends. A great place to stay in Windermere!!
We really enjoyed staying with Carole, and appreciated her hospitality. The room was lovely, atmosphere warm and inviting. Good breakfast and willing to help make our stay as enjoyable as possible, thank you.
I stayed for one night and found the owners and staff very friendly and helpful. This is a very nice B&B and very good value. I hope to stay here again the next time I visit Windemere.
Host very nice and kind, guest house near train staion and we can walk to Bowness to visit the lake and Potter attraction. Breakfast was so great with english style. I liked strong hot water in shower and comfortable bed. It was very nice stay !
No complaints with this guest house! To sum it up, Friendly, great value , close to town and a cosy little bar.
We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay in December, and particularly enjoyed the breakfast.The owners were very accommodating about us arriving and checking in much earlier than the advertised time, and we were made to feel very welcome.
Cosy room and very hospitable and kind people. Thank you very much!
Found by chance online after lots of looking and really liked the sound of it - definitely didn't dissappoint.Very friendly and welcoming, trying to plan our next trip back.
We were given a very warm welcome to a comfortable, Gilly and the breakfasts were excellent. I'd certainly recommend it!
Lovely room and so yummy breakfast!
It was great joy to be staying at Green Gables because the owners are very warm and friendly. They make you feel welcomed and are absolutely lovely. The room is fully equipped with nothing short, and even has books for pleasure reading! Had a hearty breakfast which was really good, and was impressed and awed by the elegant design and of the dining hall. GREAT place to stay with very reasonable price a night. To the owners:Hope you guys will continue to have great crowd around! Cheers!
A lovely welcome and very good breakfast.
Absolutely no complaints - the room was fresh and bright, the service was outstanding and helpful, and loved having a kettle in the room to make bedtime tea! And breakfast was good too, catered well for us awkward vegetarians ;) thankyou, we would recommend you to anyone.
very enjoyable overnight stay, homely surroundings,good breakfast, beds very comfy that you cant get out of in the morning!!
The landlady, the breakfast and the location and anything else are just sooooooo great!!!
An upbeat welcome from a family who clearly enjoy what they do. And it shows with tastefully modern decor, a room with plenty of space and a superb breakfast. What more can you want?
Had a one night stay at Green Gables B&B in mid september,The welcome from Carole was very friendly,although the rooms are smallish they are very clean and have everything we needed.Its in a good location close to windermere and a ten minute walk from Bowness.Great breakfast in the morning just a little early (8.30-9.00) for a sunday morning.Only minor quibble would be the late check in time (4pm) and early check out time (10am) apart from that would highly recommend this B&B for a cheap stay at the lakes.
Really enjoyed my stay.Really lovely host, very warm welcome.Very nice breakfast with spacious and clean room.Would recommend.
We had a lovely time at Green Gables Guest House. I would definatley stay there again in the future. The facilities were very good, the location was picturesque and staff were friendly and and kind.
My mom and I had a lovely stay at Green Gables last month. We arrived earlier than planned and yet Carole was really nice and let us checked in early. The whole b and b was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was sumptuous and everyone at the guest house was really nice. Would highly recommend this b and b to those traveling to Windermere.
Nice warm welcome, comfortable clean room, nice friendly owners, and a good variety including a great cooked breakfast.And also the competetive rates.
We stayed at the green gables b&b forOnly one night while passing through the lake district, and it was a very enjoyable Stay. The room is very clean and quite cute. The house is quite large and spacious. Breakfast was great! Full English breakfast and the hosts were lovely and accommodating. All in all a great stay and good value. Thanks green gables!
Amazingly good value;very clean, friendly and welcoming. Excellent choice at breakfast. Can't fault it at all.
I was delighted to find this friendly and comfortable hotel. I had a perfect ensuite single room with fullbreakfast at a very reasonable price. The location is excellent within easy walking distance of the rail and bus connections, also the town and of course the lake.
I stayed in the single en-suite room which was large compared to usual single rooms.The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean.The breakfast had a good choice.The owners were very friendly and I was able to leave my luggage before the check-in time.The house is situated approx. 10 mins. walk from the rail/bus station and is in a quiet street just off the main street of the town.Most enjoyable stay.
Lovely little guest house! Great location, clean, comfortable, lovely friendly hosts and great breakfast - what more could you ask for! Would definitely return.
Really enjoyed our stay, nothing was too much trouble for Carole and of course Gillian. Breakfast was delicious and you were made to feel very welcome, will deffo be back.
We stayed at the Green Gables Guest House for our 5th wedding anniversary.The location was great, right in the centre of windermere and the shops were just down the road. It took us 20mins to walk down to bowness.All the staff in the guest house were really friendly and welcoming.The room was nice and clean.We had a bathroom right opposite our room which was private just to us.The bed was really soft and comfy,better than my own bed.The guest house is off the main road so they was very little road noise.We had a full english breakfast which was lovely, couldn't have cooked it better myself.Also was cereal,yoghurt,fruit and a variety of drinks e.g. apple, orangle juice.They is parking on the opposite side of the road which you can park there for free all day and night. when we got there they were all full but they is a carpark right opposite. we went through the carpark to the next steet where they was plenty of free parking.we parked there untill we left windermere.Would recommend this guest house.
Stayed for a couple of nights B &B on our way to Scotland.Service was very good from reception on arrival through to departure.Room was comfortable and clean.Breakfast was extremely good with plenty of choice.Full English was great.Service was very friendly and proprietors were very knowledgable with information about the area.Would definitely return for a repeat stay.
Nice place to end our Dales way walk. Shortest day of walk so we arrived early, no promlem,also early breakfast to catch our coach home,no promlem. Just a very short walk to station. For us near perfect.
Warm greeting, good facilities. Only reason not excellent is some furniture becoming tired and en suite needs some work to it ie floor.Breakfast was lovely.
A most enjoyable stay!A welcoming cup of tea was offered on our arrival, which was very pleasing after a hard day walking in the hills. The hospitality continued with pleasant conversation, as our hosts ensured the stay was relaxing and enjoyable.Will definitely return and recommend the Green Gables!
We spent a weekend at the Green Gable Guest House. Super nice staff. Rooms are very comfortable. Bath is clean. Excellent breakfast. If we spend some days again in Lake District, we will surely return.
Really enjoyable Easter break, we were made to feel very welcome and the service we got was excellent would definitly recommend!
Absolutely loved our stay here...100% recommend, lovely people, fantastic breakfast to keep us going on our walks all day! Will have to return! Thank you sooo much!
Comfortable bed and nice linen, cosy room with en suite bathroom. Really nice cooked breakfast. Centrally located in Windermere. Everything you need at a good price.
On our visit to the UK we spent 6 very pleasant nights at Green Gables. The location was great for our walking explorations. Our room was clean and pleasant. The house has charm and character. The breakfast was delightful. We very much enjoyed our time there.
We received a very friendly welcome, and given a full tour of the facilities and lots of advice of places to visit. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed, the breakfast was delicious and all staff were very friendly. The only potential negatives would be that the robes provided to wear to the private bathroom were not suitable for all sizes, and some areas of the room/bathroom were a bit dated. But overall a lovely stay!
We stayed at this Guest House over the Bank Holiday weekend.Perfectly placed for public transport links.Parking was ok out on the road but could be a problem at busy times.The Guest House is a Home from Home with very welcoming Hosts.Breakfast starts you up for the day.Recommended.
We had a wonderful time. It's hard to think of anything that could be improved on.Very friendly, helpful, relaxing.Thank you for sorting out the special food and also for staying up and serving us drinks in the evening.
We very much enjoyed our recent stay at Green Gables. From the friendly welcome giving lots of local information, to the very nice, comfortable rooms to the hearty breakfast and very friendly service. We would recommend it to family and friends.
It's a good experience living in Green Gables Guest House, comfortable rooms and kind staffs. I will recommand this to my friends.
Excellent value for money.Beautiful guest house.Very warm host and waitress.Very nice full English Breakfast included inprice.Would return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay, the room was well equipped, the breakfast substantial and the banter freeflowing. Staff could not have been more helpful or friendly and we have every intention of returning.
Fantastic room, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Perfect stay!
We had a lovely stay, made to feel very welcome by the hosts. Rooms were cosy and clean. The breakfast was a good start to the day. Convenient location, walking distance from Windemere withplaces for dinner and drinks, and about half an hour walk to Bowness. Would definately stay again.
This is a wonderful B&B in a nice location, close to all local amenities. The B&B is clean, nice and compact. We stayed in a double bedroom for couple of nights, and it was very comfortable with ample storage space. The room we stayed didnt have an attached bathroom, but thats hardly a trouble as the bathroom is next door. It was only for our use as well, just like an attached bathroom.But the best thing about the B&B was the people! Both Carol, and her husband are excellent hosts, they will only make things better for their guests with their friendly behaviour.
The whole house is so nice. had a good sleep cause the bed was awesome. and the breakfast too. i love the kitchen so much.
We enjoyed our stay at this B&B but were rather disappointed that we weren't told in advance that our room was on the 2nd floor, the second flight of stairs being quite narrow and steep.It was certainly in a very convenient location.
The gratitude of some people really does astound us. From initial contact to final stay the date and duration of this booking was changed 5 times (we have the emails to prove it). Had we been told at the outset that changes would be made as many times as it was then perhaps we would not have taken the booking in the first place. By trying to accommodate the changing requirements of our travellers we stand accused of not telling them the room location. In truth it was the only room we had left.
We were pleased with our room and the friendliness and help from our hosts.We would recommend Green Gables to anyone we new who was traveling to Windemere.
We had a lovely stay at Green Gables Guest House the owners were extremely friendly and as we were going to a wedding they let us check in early. Breakfast was just what we needed the next morning and i was pleasantly surprised as i am vegetarian that they had a vegetarian option. Would recommend and also return again ourselves.
stayed at green gables for two nights, what a fantastic friendly place.The guest house is ideally situated for both the town center and the lake, with plenty places to eat and drink in the vicinity, spotlessly clean comfortable and friendly proprietors who are very knowledgeable about the area.best breakfast I have had in a b&b.Would I recommend this guest house, DEFINITELY, and will be back soon.
A small but neat single room, nice and clean.Good breakfast too.Excellent value for the area.Would stop again.
First class accommodation - clean, friendly and a delicious breakfast. We were delighted with our choice of B&B, which was the icing on the cake for a wonderful few days!
I had a wonderful stay at Green Gables, with great hosts and a lovely cosy bedroom and a tasty breakfast to wake up to. I would recommend Green Gables for a relaxing break, home from home!
Got to the guest house at around 4pm was greeted by a male, very friendly and welcoming and helpful about the area, suggesting places to visit as it was our first time. He showed us to our room which was clean, comfortable and had everything needed for the stay. In the morning we were again greeted with friendly and welcoming service by waitress for breakfast. The breakfast had a good choice of cereals and cooked breakfasts. I would highly recommend the Green Gables guest house, it is great value for money and would definitely return again.
Very nice B&B in Windermere;warm;comfortable lounge;space-age breakfast room;friendly chatty hostess;convenient location;reasonable tariff. Would stay again, definitely.
Stayed twice now , excellent warm welcome with suberb breakfast, our first choice when booking again for the area.

If you want to live a satisfied and fulfilled life, gratitude should be the way to choose. Build an attitude of gratitude by consciously paying attention to the valuable things that we usually take for granted. The biggest thing we take for granted is "the Creator" the Lord, thanks to whom, everything in the universe is functioning. And let's be thankful that God is generous, merciful and appreciative.
Without His mercy, life would not exist. Water, rivers, seas and lakes would run dry. Oxygen would disappear from the air and life would come to an end immediately. Earth would lose its gravity causing everything existing on it falling apart. Food would vanish. Animals, plants, leaves would die.

As our loved ones age, they often suffer diminished physical and mental capacity.
Medical and care expenses can increase dramatically as we age. By the time you are in your 60’s, it is possible that you will start providing some kind of care for an aging parent or other relative. Making sure they are safe and healthy can be a big undertaking.
Elder Law is a complex area of law specializing in Estate Planning, Medicare, Medicaid, Powers of Attorney and other issues commonly faced by older adults and the disabled.
There are many steps to understanding it all, and many people simply don’t know where to start. We can assist you with the legal process.
“We worked with Jane to understand Medicaid and nursing home payments. She provided a solid overview and common-sense advice. We now plan to contact her to help probate our mother’s estate.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for all the guidance and care that was given to me by Attorney Jane Walker and her staff. They were able to put a plan in place that would enable me to provide care for my husband and peace of mind for myself. Without their help I would not have been able to handle the massive amounts of forms and information gathering required to place my husband on Medicaid.
With the concern they showed me, I felt more like a family member than a client. They were always available to answer my e-mails, phone calls or just dropping by the office with my multitude of questions.

I like handicrafts ‘beary’ much because handmade products give me a warm feeling. Producers’ warm hearts, hard work, creativity, local traditions – I can see and feel all those things through their handmade products. In this section, I will introduce various handicrafts businesses that I found all over the world. Those who make unique handicrafts are (Be) Empowered with Available Resources. Let’s BEAR!
Look at this bag! Guess where it is from. It was sold at a department store in Tokyo, but it was made in Kenya. The colorful small triangular frills generate an exotic atmosphere. Those frills are made of traditional African women’s dresses which are not used any more.
3. Let’s “UP-cycle” Garbage into Beautiful Products!
In 1997, Ms. Editha C. Santiago, an energetic woman, who was conscious of environmental issues and women’s empowerment, launched an organization called KILUS Foundation in Ugon, Pasig City, Philippines. Prior to the establishment of the foundation, she had been involved in the “clean and green” program with about 20 women in the community. The program was implemented by the local government, where her husband used to work. In the program, she headed an informal group of 20 women, and did cleaning in the community, collecting garbage, plastic bottles, cans, and old newspapers.
4. What to Do with Old Magazines and Newspapers?
In 2008, 10 female members of a multi-purpose cooperative with a membership of about 1,600 in Valenzuela, which is located in the suburbs of Manila, Philippines, started to make rosaries out of plastic beads. A rosary is a chain of beads with a cross at the center. Catholics use rosaries, grasping them around their wrists when they pray. Those 10 female members used to make rosaries only for themselves, not to sell.

We would like to introduce you to the building neighbor caring program, Know Your Neighbor.
The Know Your Neighbor committee was founded in 2009 as a program to educate residents about emergency preparedness and to bring neighbors together.
We all live at 300 West 23rd Street by choice — we’ve created our own vertical community.
Some residents have special needs … whether physical, mobility, hearing, vision, or dietary. During Superstorm Sandy, floor captains from the committee lit their hallways with glowsticks in the early part of the blackout … then checked on neighbors periodically.
The committee is planning building-wide social functions for the future, too.
The committee meets quarterly at a member’s apartment. Refreshments are served. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and participate in our vertical community.
This form will be essential for us to contact you in the event of an emergency and will also make us aware if you have any special needs or pets: “Know Your Neighbor” Confidential Information Sheet.

Whether as a luxury vacation spot or a sumptuous second home, Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square is one San Francisco’s top spots for settling in during your time in the city. Those who choose to take part in the fractional ownership program are invited to experience 35 days of use throughout the year—at not only the San Francisco outpost but any of the properties in the reciprocal program (Whistler, Vancouver, Maui, London and Beijing are just a few of the participating areas). But even those who are checking in just for a few nights (three-night minimum) enjoy use of Fairmont’s one-, two- and three-bedroom urban abodes, featuring cool brick walls, modern furnishings, top-of-the-line appliances, in-room washer and dryer and much more. Property amenities are just as impressive: the famed Mustard Terrace with panoramic bay views, a billiards lounge, a fitness center and complimentary use of bikes and golf clubs, for instance. And, Fairmont is mere steps from the famed Ghirardelli cafe (as well as plenty high-end eateries, shops and the area’s piers), so satisfying a sweet tooth has never been more convenient. One-bedroom fractional ownership starts at $169,000. www.fairmontatghirardelli.com.

It is hard to believe that we’re here already. So much has changed in 2018, it was like a speeding freight train, and I was just along for the ride.
I had a major post to make before 2018 was out, but I never quite found the time to do it, so I’ll start off the New Year with a recap of the … uh… old year?
Many years ago, a friend of mine told me about the delights and affordability of taking a cruise. I always loved adventure, exploring, and visiting new places, so I very much wanted to take a cruise for myself. As it was, the times in my past life did not lead me to ever taking such a trip.
In November of 2018, we took a trip to the Bahamas, but in true fashion to my preference, we went everywhere else we could manage to go before the cruise!
We spent a few days having another jam-packed sight-seeing tour of Florida before we ever ended up in the Miami Port.
We visited Disney Springs, Orlando and shopped and did a virtual reality Star Wars experience, which was incredible. We ate yummy food and saw some really amazing things, like the inside ceiling of the Planet Hollywood there. Holy cow!!! We also went to the Titanic Museum in Orlando.
Then, we took a drive out to Cape Canaveral and stayed overnight. We stayed in Cocoa Beach, and we knew ahead of time that there was a rocket launch scheduled to happen. Conveniently enough, the launch was on the day we had already planned and purchased tickets to go actually see Kennedy Space Center. It was really a bit of luck that there just happened to be a rocket launch. We did plan to go the day before, but when the date of the launch was finally announced, we simply flip-flopped (hahaha, oh those puns…) our visit dates around.
Cocoa Beach was beautiful, and the water was lovely. And then…. oh yes… the rocket launch.
The smoke was incredible, and the feel and sound of that rocket going up and crackling through the sky was simply mesmerizing.
After the rocket launch, there was just one thing left to do… get to Miami and get on a gigantic cruise ship.
It was like a dream The weather was perfect, the ocean was perfect, the ship was perfect.
The sea sickness was not, however. While cruising isn’t probably going to be something we will repeat, we did have fun.
When we got to the Bahamas, we saw post-cardesque waters and stunning beauty of the palm trees and white sands.
We visited the Atlantis Resort, and fell in love. We definitely will put a full-on stay at Atlantis on our bucket list.
But all that is just small in comparison to what else happened on the cruise…..
Yes, you saw that right! I’m officially engaged!
Needless to say, 2018 ended with a BANG! And here we are at the start of 2019, and yes… we have wedding plans already well under way (and I have a gorgeous wedding gown)!
I know 2019 will bring many good things for us, and I hope it brings you the best as well. May you and your horses be happy and good through this beautiful New Year.
2 Responses to 2019 Begins!
Congratulations Amanda! I am so happy for you!
Thank you so so so much!!! ❤ It's been an incredible journey, and I can't even believe my life sometimes!

first came to Hawai'i at age 8, when his mother married his stepfather Manuel Varez. After the war-torn Germany he'd known, it was love at first sight.
Shunning publicity and working in the simplest possible fashion with linoleum blocks or canvas, Varez continually shaped his strong personal expression of Hawai'i. By nature Varez was a quiet and retiring man, he lived with his wife Linda (also a noted painter) in a remote rain forest setting near Volcano Village on the Big Island.
Dietrich was one of the Big Island's most beloved artists.
The Hawai'i of old -- when spirits inhabited every tree and stone, and gods walked the earth -- was Dietrich's inspiration. His work boldly traced the adventures and passions of a cast of mythical characters he had carefully researched in legend. He lovingly and faithfully depicted Hawaiians practicing the arts, skills, and values of Hawai'i, old Hawai'i lifestyles and legends, in all of his prints, illustrated books, and vibrant oil paintings.
Read articles from the '70's, glimpse Dietrich in his studio.
Everything is custom printed, purchase the best size and quality for your home or office. Prints are produced by The Magic Mo, located in Volcano, Hawai'i.
Which artist influenced Dietrich as a child?
What is my Varez blockprint or screenprint worth?
We get asked this almost every week! Typically, someone has owned a print since the '70's or '80's, or, it has been handed down to them and they wonder what the value is. The Magic Mo is not qualified to act as an art appraiser, so we really have no answer to this question. We can only suggest that you read through the articles about Dietrich, understand that he's been reproducing screenprints for decades, most of which continue to be sold today at very reasonable prices. Many times his dated prints can be found on ebay and other similar sources; check there to research what similar prints are selling for, or, check with an art appraiser.
How did Dietrich get his web page?

This is our essential checklist of 61 things to do in Cape Town, for locals and tourists, adults and kids.
1. Cape Town on a kayak will change the way you see your city. On summer mornings especially, there’s a good probability of finding yourself in a pod of endemic Heaviside dolphins, who love the Granger Bay area. In whale season you might see southern right whales, who travel to Cape waters to calve. Or sunfish, penguins, Cape fur seals, Cape clawless otters, jellyfish, and cormorants diving into the sea when you kayak with Kaskazi Kayaks.
2. Take a helicopter ride with the city’s TripAdvisor-rated number-one operator, Cape Town Helicopters, and see the Mother City like never before (ranked in the top three must-do tours in Cape Town). Using state-of-the-art, quieter and more eco-friendly (not to mention wider 270-degree window view) Airbus craft, you easily get the most Instagrammable views in Cape Town on the Cape Point flight or sweep that special someone off their feet and into the air on the VIP Winelands flight. Forget the ferry and see the historic Robben Island from a perspective-smashing new vantage point. And, get the full experience for a lot less than you think: the Hopper flight keeps you within budget with an extraordinary helicopter adventure for around the cost of two dinners at a city restaurant.

Whatever the GM bailout headlines proclaiming the staggering numbers, the real story of the government’s bailout of GM, utilizing TARP funds, is far more than just the billions of dollars concerned. It’s more importantly a story of governmental hubris that began with President Bush and the Republican Congress panicking and pandering to public fears, followed by President Obama and his administration – the Treasury Department specifically, skirting, or ignoring the rule of law to pursue a plan that was formulated primarily based on political issues relatively than established contract regulation and sound financial procedures. One closing observe on this particular article which, due to the pure luck of being in the fitting place at the right time, has develop into the very best income producing article I have written up to now. Like many of my different request articles, it generates a gradual income every month normally including a greenback or so to my month-to-month revenue but sometimes (whenever Tiger Woods or Elin Nordegren are within the information) it generates a bit extra. Twice I’ve actually hit the jackpot with this article. The primary time was December 2007 and the second December 2008.
I wrote beneath concerning the New World Order spoken of by Gordon Brown of GB. Well, he spoke proper after the funding of the IMF by the G20. By no means has the IMF tried to control first world international locations. Until now. Greece is the guinea pig. It’s crucial that the Greek populace resist this imposition of energy by the IMF. If the IMF and the banking cartel has their means, there will probably be one treasury and one nationality in the Eurozone, additional consolidating the power of the cabal!
Your protection of the workings and manipulation of the stock market are instructional and insightful and appreciated. Obama, your New World Order is Totalitarian and we Patriots, American free residents, will combat for our Democracy, Independence and Freedom. With the forex being put in danger by Bush’s recklessness and by Obama’s must jumpstart the economic system, buying a long run project becomes very risky.
There hasn’t been very a lot acceptance of IFRS 17 by the insurance coverage trade. There are roughly 450 or extra insurance coverage corporations that will need to undertake the new protocol throughout the next three years. Whereas there’s phrase that the companies and their shareholders will end up with a giant payday when all is claimed and executed, many are not sure. When talking to The Economist, Tom Stoddard of Aviva, a British insurance coverage firm, acknowledged that he does not think that any windfall for his agency or its shareholders will be as big as advertised” and that the prices will outweigh the benefits” (The Economist). Francesco Nagari of Deloitte defined how this was something that has by no means been done before with IFRS, they’re making an attempt to make one huge leap in an industry that hasn’t had a lot regulation in the past. They expect everyone to go from whatever they are at the moment using and replace it to match what they need to see (The Economist).
GA, a sterling article to make sure, written in laymans language so that all of us might get a better grip as to what occurred. At the very least below Obama’s plan the pensioneers weren’t left without a dime. The sheer measurement of GM and the implications to your entire business and the political ramifications, folks couldn’t understand the positive print, compelled motion by both administrations. Sure, there was skullduggery, to be sure. Your level as to why not the usual Chapter eleven is a sound one. Despite the opinion of many economists, many were afraid that GM with out support would fail solely and stomach up underneath a chapter 7, the potential for that may have nicely been to great to disregard.
