Normally the W Hamond tea room is a warm and friendly place to enjoy some hot food on these chilly afternoons. But lately, the bowls have been replaced with cauldrons, and the soup may not be soup at all, but a witches broth!

Bram Stoker International Film Festival Presents:
THE VAMPIRE BALL!
On Saturday the 25th of October, all things scary broke loose, and those that usually wander the depths of hell wandered the streets of Whitby, gathering at the Spa Pavilion to party!
W Hamond sponsor this particular night that is ran by the Bram Stoker International Film Festival, so the girls got out their fangs and made their way to the event.
As well as sponsoring the event, W Hamond also conduct a Best Dressed competition, and give out beautiful signature Dracula jewellery as the prize. A pendant for the best dressed woman, and a signet ring for the best dressed man.
The outfits were amazing, so much effort had been put in to each and every one. From pig ladies to body paint, no two costumes were alike, which made judging the competition very difficult.
After searching for the scariest vampires, the fabulous Joe Black, host of the evening pulled the ladies from W Hamond up on stage to announce the winners.
The Best Dressed man was chosen because he had put in so much effort. The suit jacket that he was wearing was made with cut outs of Whitby's historical images, which he had found and then made into a jacket. His wife had matching shoes and corset too.
The Best Dressed woman was chosen not only because of the huge effort she had put in with her body painting and head piece, but on her chest she had one of our Gothic pieces painted on! The infamous Gothic spider made her outfit extra special! See the real piece here!
'Dracula's bride' as she called herself, was beyond pleased with her prize. 'I'm going to give it to the artist who did my body paint, as she was the one who was inspired by the beautiful W Hamond pendant. She'll be thrilled!'
The W Hamond girls loved the vampire ball, and can't wait to get dressed up and head back next year for more scary fun!
Previous to the Vampire Ball, we ran a competition on Twitter. By Retweeting a Tweet written by W Hamond, you were automatically entered into a prize draw, and one lucky tweeter won themselves 2 FIVE day passes to the whole of the festival. We were privileged enough to bump into the lucky couple, who had thoroughly enjoyed the festival and were looking forward to the rest of the event. They had gone to a massive effort with their outfits too, being some of the scariest contestants that entered!


Martin Lewis urges Rishi Sunak to 'rethink' energy levy

The Chancellor yesterday had taken to social media to advertise the fact he was proud of the British economy and the number of people involved in making it great. However, it was one of the many people the Chancellor claimed had contributed to the economy who called out Mr Sunak.
The Chancellor’s tweet read: “It’s thanks to the smartest scientists, the hardest working volunteers, the longest booster queues and the savviest business owners.
“That we were the fastest growing economy in the G7 last year… Proud.”
Mr Sunak ended his tweet with a flexing muscle and Union Jack emoji.
However, one scientist disagreed with the Chancellor.
Replying to Mr Sunak, Mike Galsworthy, the founder of Scientists 4EU and the Bylines Network said: “As a ‘smart scientist’ – I wish to point out your data misrepresentation.
“Statistics need context.
“The main reason why UK 2021 GDP growth was so high (7.5 percent) was because UK 2020 GDP hit (-9.4 percent) was so hard.
“Overall, UK growth behind peers across pandemic.”
It appears when GDP is calculated against the huge financial losses suffered as a result of the pandemic, and certain political decisions, the UK is in fact lagging behind.
The largest growth witnessed by UK peers is in fact being experienced by the USA at around 1.4 percent.
Over the pandemic, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the UK and Japan all suffered losses.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Galsworthy said: “I was sad to see the angle by Mr Sunak was emulated by other departments.
“Having done data analysis, with vast databases for decades, that kind of presentation on an academic paper would not get past a peer review.
“There has to be more evidence of what is being said.
“However, there is some good news going forward to 2022, there are indications suggesting the economy will pick up.”
The scientist also argued the pandemic was not the sole reason for the slump in the British economy.
Mr Galsworthy said: “The financial damage from Brexit can be masked by the pandemic.
“With Brexit, it will be a longer slower headache, as we enter a stickier trading and movement environment.
“The pandemic was an instant hit to the economy, but Brexit is still going through a transition period and we have yet to fully see its full impact.”
Adding to how better measure the growth and recovery from the slump, Mr Galsworthy suggested looking at the social divide as a gauge.
He said: “We are far too much focused on GDP as a race between countries.
“Different countries have different growth rates and varying forms of population growth from migration.
“We need to look at the matrix of society across living standards as opposed to focusing solely on GDP.
“This will give a better indication of growth and stability.”

Britain has recently witnessed a strong rise in the cost of living, in part sparked by supply chain issues, yet also from barriers preventing efficient trade.
In terms of scientific investment, Mr Galsworthy suggested Britain is missing out on vital funding from the EU Horizon programme.
He said: “In 2016 there was immediate concern on the UK role in Horizon, in spite of Government guarantees.”
Mr Galsworthy said: “Between 2007-2016 the UK and Germany were in joint first place in terms of total money won from the Horizon programme.
“This was a competitive process, and both were winning most of the funding, with the UK leading on many projects due to English being the common language of science.
“In 2017, the UK was behind Germany, 2018, behind Germany and France, 2019 behind Germany, France and Spain, and in 2020, just ahead of the Netherlands in 5th place.”
In a chilling revelation of funding losses, Mr Galsworthy said: “If he had kept going, we would have had a £1.5billion extra funding for British science, we took a 30 percent hit.”

He continued: “There is a new Horizon Europe project running from 2020 to 2024, but because of the Northern Ireland (NI) protocol issue yet to be resolved, the sign off hasn’t been done, and there have been many dozens of projects that have failed to secure EU funding.
“We are hence missing out on more of the funding as a result of stalls in the NI talks.
“This is essentially giving the UK a handicap in the race to secure much-needed science funding, which hurts our international leadership in science, both in terms of policy and being the leaders in science due to language as well as the infrastructure.”

Yuval Steinitz asked the prime minister to not only rely on Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
“IDF Radio" (Galei Zahal) reports that Minister of Finance Yuval Steinitz opposes the structure of the NIS 10 billion F-35 procurement deal. He has asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the issue in a broader forum, and not to rely solely on the opinion of Minister of Defense Ehud Barak. Netanyahu has agreed to Steinitz's request, and will decide on a forum to hold the discussion.
Steinitz apparently objects to the F-35 deal because of the US refusal to install Israeli systems on the plane. The F-35 has stealth capabilities. While Barak's bureau describes the F-35 as the most advanced fighter-bomber in the world, there are sharp divisions in Israel and in many other countries about the wisdom of procuring the plane, given its skyrocketing cost.
The Ministry of Defense originally planned to buy 75 F-35s, but Barak announced that Israel will buy just 20 planes, because the final cost will likely $150 million each.

New Einstein Manuscripts Unveiled at Hebrew U
On March 6, 2019, Hebrew University’s Albert Einstein Archives revealed a treasure trove of 110 Einstein manuscripts, most of which were previously unpublished. Recently acquired from a collector in the United States, the documents include 84 sheets of mathematical derivations, a handwritten appendix to an article on the Unified Theory, a letter from Einstein to his son and four letters to his lifelong friend and fellow scientist, Michele Besso. Einstein, who died in 1955, was a co-founder of Hebrew University. He bequeathed his personal and scientific writings to the university, which led to the creation of the Albert Einstein Archives.

Brandon Jennings and John Henson scored 19 points apiece to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 107-96 win over the Raptors on Sunday, a game that saw Toronto give up a 20-point lead.
The loss spoiled strong outings from Amir Johnson and Ed Davis — Johnson finishing with 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Davis scoring 20 points and grabbing 12 boards.
DeMar DeRozan added 23 points, while Jose Calderon had 21 points and eight assists for the Raptors (14-23), who struggled after two of their leading players were injured.
Calderon tweaked his right calf muscle in the first quarter, and started the second half with it wrapped in a sleeve. Johnson came down awkwardly on the right ankle that had already been bothering him. He also started the second half, with his ankle re-taped.
The Raptors had a 20-point lead in the first quarter and appeared poised to cruise to its second consecutive rout, coming two days after they clobbered Charlotte 99-78 for their 10th win in 13 games.
But the Bucks battled back, pulling even with Toronto just before halftime.
The Raptors led 78-74 going into the fourth, but couldn’t put any more distance on the Bucks and a driving layup by Monta Ellis gave the Bucks a 97-91 lead with 2:20 to play. A pair of free throws and a dunk by Larry Sanders later and the Raptors were suddenly down by 10.
There were some boos and someone chanted “Let’s go Argos!” as the Raptors trudged off the court, having wrapped up their six-game homestand 3-3.
Monta Ellis added 17 points for the Bucks (19-17).
Calderon was firing on all cylinders before the injury. In the first quarter, he drained all three of his three-point attempts and led an offence that didn’t record one turnover. He and Johnson had the Air Canada Centre crowd of 17,384 on its feet when Calderon fired a long bounce pass to a sprinting Johnson, who finished with a bucket. The next timeout, teammate Kyle Lowry goodnaturedly fanned Calderon with a towel.
Calderon led the league in assist to turnover ratio in the 10 games prior to Sunday’s and the Raptors’ 25.8 assists a night were also an NBA best over 10 games.
“He sees the floor and he helps everybody else,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said of Calderon. “All our players need help, they need a quarterback out there, they need the Peyton Manning out there on the floor to help them see the floor and help make decisions for them.
“He’s done a heck of a job making sure everybody’s in the right place, he’s our computer on the floor.”
Calderon had more points than the Bucks combined for most of the first quarter, and his third three of the quarter gave the Raptors an 18-point lead. They would stretch it to 20 before taking a 34-16 advantage into the second.
Anthony missed seven of eight shots and scored two points in the first quarter of the noon start he dislikes, then outscored the Hornets by himself in the second period as the Knicks took the lead for good.
Chris Copeland added 22 points for the Knicks.

PAVILION FLOOR COATING QUOTE
Description: The commitee submitted a quote for $1,650 from Jeff Scheiwe for two coats sealing, labor and materials. The given materials were used to repair the following: two bathrooms, a hallway, and utility rooms on the interior of the pavilion.
My opinion: I agree with their quote, and I feel it is a good thing that the local government is willing to spend money on keeping our town in a presentable state. Though they had to use tax payer money, the money went to good use.
My solution: I would have made the ame decision. To prevent this for happening in the future, and to keep the floor from cracking, I would put up signs reminding people to clean up after themselves and treat the pavilion with care.
Facts: You can rent out the pavilion for a day for only $250. There is a list of rules to rent out the pavilion you must follow, even when using the pavilion, but I still think that they should hang up reminders. The quote was introduced in a meeting on Augst 15th, 2016.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) and Gallup held a research briefing on media use in Iraq. The use of non-traditional media such as the Internet and social media in the Arab world has generated significant attention in recent years due to their popularity among extremist groups such as ISIL. Indeed, Internet use by Iraqis has reached 40% in 2014 and those in ISIL-controlled areas are more likely to “strongly trust” news from the Internet than Iraqis in other regions.
Despite this, television remains the most popular source of news in Iraq and is a true “mass media” in terms of universal accessibility and use by Iraqis, where 94.7% of population watches it weekly. However, traditional media and digital news consumption patterns differ, sometimes dramatically, by demographics as well as by region and battle lines.
The speakers drew on recent BBG data to assess the role of different media platforms in Iraq as well as review attitudinal data from the Gallup World Poll. Speakers included:
- Chris Stewart, Partner, Gallup
- Bruce Sherman, Director, Office of Strategy and Development, BBG
- Diana Turecek, Director of Audience Research, MBN
- Mohamed Younis, Senior Analyst and Senior Practice Consultant, Gallup

Last week I showed you how I mixed florals with Ann Taylor for Spring. Well, here are a few more photos from my shoot. A floral dress certainly looks beautiful worn as is. You can add bright accessories to bring out your favorite colors of the print, like I did with a pink belt and colorblock clutch.
I also like mixing florals with black and white prints. I belted a leopard peplum sweater to turn a dress into a top to switch things up for day.
Stripes also work very well with floral patterns. To dress up my tank and jeans, I added a green statement necklace and these suede heels, which are the perfect height to lengthen then leg without killing your feet.

Sony says young engineers kept sales afloat
Sir Howard quashes speculation that he might be planning to step down after achieving his three-year plan to profitability
Global sales of consumer electronics are surviving the worst of the fallout from the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States because of what Sir Howard Stringer, Sony’s chief executive, called the “Shirley Temple” effect.
Sir Howard said that he had transformed the “mildly morose” Sony, which he inherited two years ago, into a company with renewed confidence and an “underground revolution” of young software engineers.
Sir Howard, quashing speculation that he might be planning to step down after achieving his three-year plan to rebuild Sony’s profitability, said: “Am I going to be here for the next three years? The answer is yes. Am I going to be here for the next ten years? Probably not.”

In January, McDonald's came out with the Chicken McBites — a popcorn-chicken like offering it imported from McDonald's Australia. It's now touting its Spicy Chicken McBites.
There's something even more threatening for KFC on the horizon. McDonald's CEO Don Thompson has said that he's going to focus on chicken during the down economy.
In response, KFC is introducing KFC Original Recipe Bites, which will compete directly against McDonald's Chicken McBites. It's a "shot cross the bow of burger chains," according to Burger Business.
Other fast food chains are getting geared up for the chicken war as well. Burger King reformulated its Chicken Tenders, Sonic has brought back its Jumbo Popcorn Chicken, while Checkers and Jack in the Box have brand new Chicken Nuggets.

Military chiefs oppose ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ compromise
In a setback for Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.) and Senate Armed Services Committee supporters like Colorado’s Mark Udall, efforts to insert amendments overturning the military’s ban on open gay service in this year’s defense authorization bill appear to have met serious resistance. Igor Volsky of ThinkProgress has obtained letters from the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force urging lawmakers to forestall a legislative repeal until after the Pentagon’s Working Group on implementing the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” completes its report in December.
The markup of the Senate version of the bill is underway in the Armed Services Committee now. A floor vote in the House is expected Thursday.
As Volsky observes, the compromise enshrined in the amendments would punt implementation of the repeal until after the Working Group issues its guidance. But I’ve been hearing for days that key Pentagon leaders, despite Defense Secretary Gates’ begrudging support for the legislation, were embittered by the White House’s Monday pledge to LGBT activists to acquiesce to the legislative push. Regardless of the amendment’s substantive respect for the Working Group’s timetable, those leaders thought that the Working Group represented a mechanism for overturning “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” with maximum military buy-in and minimal disruption to wartime operations. (Of all the service chiefs, only Gen. James Conway, the Marine Corps commandant, opposes overturning the ban on open gay service.)
The chiefs’ opposition indicates that the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” fight has fallen into in a briar patch of acrimony, where substantively small differences appear massive due to injured pride and perceived disrespect.

**Just to add:
- I have been tested for Wilson's Disease and other rare diseases and those are negative.
-Early March a dime sized portion of my facial hair turned white (whatever I am 26 and it has to start sometime) BUT when I shaved, my facial hair loss began growing and more spots have succumbed to loss of hair and it seems to not be stopping
Your numbers look very familiar. And please keep in mind we're not doctors, we're just patients, family and friends dealing with liver disorders, like yourself. But your doctors should do a MRCP/MRI of your liver and specifically your biliary tree, along with some autoimmune tests (AMA, ANA, ANCA).
Just based on theses numbers (do you any earlier data?), I'd guess that you're dealing with a mild and likely chronic bile duct disease of some sort. You have a couple of small direct bilirubin elevations along with a constant Alp elevation. But nothing large enough to point to a severe bile flow blockage, as your total bilirubin always remains normal.
I'd also guess that the intrahepatic bile ducts are being mostly affected. Again, your total bilirubin remains normal, but you also have mild elevations of Alt while your Ast/Alp ratio is consistently low. So I'm guessing that you maybe dealing with some bile back flow into your lobules, which then destroys some of your hepatocytes that are being bathed in this toxic bile, and so mildly elevates your Alt levels.
Again, this is all just a wild guess and is likely wrong. But you're looking for any ideas, and this is what jumped into my head. Also, I am biased in this as well since I do suffer from this very thing. There are two main bile duct diseases: Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). I have end-stage PSC.
Hopefully I'm wrong and you have nothing more than some type of temporary liver condition that will quickly pass. And you have your doctors already on top of your issues, so keep that interaction going until they nail it down for you. Take care.
Forgot to mention that a simple bacterial infection can cause similar blood serum elevations as well. You would typically feel this though due to RUQ pain or aches and a fever is usually present. But this can cause cholestatic conditions too.

Rolling coverage of the day’s political developments as they happen, including EU leaders arriving at Salzburg for the start of their informal summit
On the Today programme this morning James Brokenshire, the housing secretary, was asked who Theresa May is referring to when she talks of politicians who look down on people living in social housing. (See 9.17am.) “I think it’s more a sort of a greater public perception, sadly,” he replied.
When asked if there were Conservative politicians who took that view, he said May was referring to a “general stigma” which he said was a feeling among tenants who were consulted for a government policy paper. He went on:
I think home ownership absolutely is a really core credo of what I believe and what the party believes, and I don’t think there’s this, almost, like, a false dichotomy of it being one thing or the other – social housing or actually seeing home ownership as well. I think we can do both.

City ends deal to develop downtown corner
The Tallahassee City Commission gave city staff permission to terminate an agreement with McKibbon Hotel Group to develop a corner of East Tennessee and North Monroe streets.
McKibbon had been given four extensions to develop the city-owned lot at the busy downtown intersection, but its plans had changed too far from what the City Commission approved seven years ago. A request by the company, which has offices in Tampa and Gainesville, Ga., to lengthen development deadlines again received no traction, and a subsequent unanimous vote to terminate the agreement set to expire on Feb. 28 left the project dead.
Commissioners said during its Wednesday meeting they had been in awe of the project pitched in 2006 that included the Aloft Hotel, office space and a large parking garage. Though the Aloft Hotel was built, the latest plan to build a Hampton Inn and a smaller parking garage next to it was not what they wanted.
“I’m fine with a Hampton Inn at Monroe Street and (Interstate) 10,” Commissioner Andrew Gillum said. “But not on that street corner.”
John McKibbon said his company once saw a market for an office building on the lot but the Great Recession of 2008 changed the commercial landscape. He felt a reasonable hotel would do better than offices so far away from the Capitol.
“What they’ve told me tonight is they want a high-class hotel,” McKibbon said after the vote. “Well, I’m not going to do that.”
Commissioner Gil Ziffer said he may have supported the hotel-office project that was originally pitched to the city, but not a small hotel.
“It’s a small hotel with a parking structure that does nothing for the general community,” Ziffer said. “This has evolved into something that, in my opinion, we don’t want to do.”

Ó Confhaola, Padhraic
The Naval Forces of the Irish State, 1922-1977.
PhD thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
This thesis seeks to examine the history of the naval forces of the Irish state since its independence and identify those factors, events and decisions which shaped their development while also providing an overview of the naval history of the state. Since the foundation of the Irish Free State and the civil war which marked its birth, the Irish state has established several naval forces, generally in times of grave national emergency but little of their history is known to the wider public. Although most are aware of the Irish Naval Service, which came into being after the Second World War, few know of its predecessors. The Coastwatching and Marine Service, later to become the Marine Service, provided seaward defence during the Emergency, the uniquely Irish euphemism for the Second World War. Its many constituent parts were responsible for the patrolling of Irish territorial waters, minesweeping operations and the surveillance of shipping around the Irish coast and those merchant ships which entered Irish ports. Its establishment in 1939 marked the end of a period during which the state maintained no naval forces. The Coastal and Marine Service, distinct from the aforementioned Coastwatching and Marine Service, represented the naval forces of the Irish Free State, towards the end and immediately after the Civil War; it was closely involved with the guerrilla phase of the conflict and the anti-smuggling patrols which followed. During the early months of the Civil war, a naval force was established to aid in the fighting, although it was a nameless and rather unofficial organisation, it conducted amphibious landings and provided vital assistance to the National Army in their campaign to recapture those areas beyond the control of the Provisional Government.
The structure of the thesis follows that of the rise and fall of the various services. Each chapter refers to a distinct period which differs from that which came prior and followed. The Civil War, inter-war years and the Emergency are clearly differentiated by the presence of the Coastal and Marine Service, no formal naval force and the Marine Service, respectively and thus provide the first three chapters of this work. The division of the history of the Naval Service into four chapters requires a brief explanation. The service's foundation represented a time of great progress and rapid expansion and is covered by the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter details the stable maintenance of the service during the 1950s. The 1960s see a dramatic reversal in the fortunes of the service and this time of regression is detailed in the sixth chapter. The seventh and final chapter encompasses the 1970s when the service began to once again expand and prosper.

Partial Renovation Boutique Hotel, Ladies Room and a new Hotel Bar
Casa Fausta Capaul in Brigels is thought to be the oldest guesthouse in the village. For this partial renovation, our goal was to preserve the history of the house while using the historic components to create contemporary spaces for this charming Boutique hotel. We renovated the entire attic and built three individual suites with private bathrooms and additional children’s rooms. We restored most of the existing furniture, by reusing and combining it with contemporary design. To keep the charming character of the house, we removed, renovated, and reinstalled all the plank floors. For the bathrooms, the Brigelser natural stone walls give it a matching finish. We renewed the lighting in the restaurant area and added a finishing touch with two beautiful oriental carpets. During the renovation, we even discovered a secret room, which is now the hotel bar, the small room served as the old village store or “stizun”. The ladies' guest-toilet is now a real treasure to behold as we used the theme of gemstone hunting, a century-old tradition in the valley, to create a flashy backdrop for the washbasin with beautiful, real crystals. The Fausta Capaul sparkles in a complete new splendor now.

Wellness Ambassador, Remo Belluco encourages a healthy start to the New Year with a meal plan to keep you energised.
Many of us have lost our way with food. In our fast-paced world, food has become a means of filling a gap ' the tummy gap and often the emotional gap. What is the purpose of food really? By understanding what real food is and what it does for us, we are able to make healthier, empowered and informed choices.
The human body needs food for nutrients and to assist with energy production. This is what food is about at its most basic, functional level. The specific nutrients we require are far more than just protein, carbohydrates and fat. More importantly, it is the micro nutrients within these macro nutrients that provide the greatest healing potential and they are also what we are truly 'hungry' for.
Micro nutrients refer to vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and phytochemicals, appropriate fatty acids and appropriate amino acids (protein). They are often lacking in modern, Western diets and the food supply in general, as a result of thousands of years of agriculture which has depleted the soil and lost the wild ancestors of many of our modern day foods. As our food is generally up to 50 times 'emptier' than what it should be, even if eating lots of plant-based foods we still may not be getting what we require. Phytochemicals or plant compounds have healing effects and also promote positive genetic expression ' i.e healing as opposed to harm. This is partly why phytonutrients play an important role in helping to balance out the effects of modern day stress, pollution, emf's etc.
Any diet should focus on increasing micro nutrients, best obtained from high amounts of diverse, fresh, raw vegetables and some fruit. One of the best ways of doing this is to have daily fruit and veg smoothies and fresh vegetable juices. In addition, fatty acids and amino acids are essential for maintaining health and healing and rebuilding. Regarding fats, we get an abundance of Omega 6 in our diets - nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil etc but generally not enough Omega 3. Sources of Omega 3 are predominantly found in chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, walnuts and oily fish.
When it comes to oils, all plant-based oils should be raw and cold-pressed. Heating denatures and makes them pro-inflammatory, except for coconut oil which is, therefore, the oil of choice for cooking. Oils and fats from animal sources mostly contain pro-inflammatory forms of omega 6 and should be avoided.
Where protein is concerned, plant-based sources are easier to digest and less inflammatory than animal proteins. In general we need about 1 gram of protein for every kg of body weight. A mindful mix of nuts, seeds, leafy greens and sprouted legumes may very well provide what you need on a daily basis but if you are very active or concerned you are not getting enough protein, you could supplement with a pea protein powder. Pea Protein is a superb protein option as it's easy to digest, is alkalizing and has a low probability of causing an allergic response.
Carbohydrates are important. They are the store houses of those invaluable micro nutrients and fiber. Vegetables and fruit should be our main choices and grains should be minimised or eliminated, especially those containing gluten. Quinoa is a great grain substitute.
Once the foundation elements of micro nutrients, fatty acids and appropriate protein have been met, the rest of your meal plan should be focused on foods that do not cause inflammation ' i.e avoiding animal proteins and dairy, soya, coffee, alcohol, sugar and gluten. Have fun with your food and remember that healthy choices = healthy life!

‘AN ISLAND FOR LOST ASTRONAUTS’
‘An Island For Lost Astronauts’ featured in issue 290/291 of Interzone.
‘The astronauts moved amongst us like captive angels. They wandered the islands of Rivertown, rootless and distracted, their movements snared by the effortless logic of gravity. As we fought for daily life on the outskirts of East City, the astronauts tuned through our hapless suffering, their expressions beatific, deranged and bereft. They rarely looked at the sky.’
‘captured dreams of the dead machine’
‘Captured Dreams of the Dead Machine’ featured in Issue 288 of Interzone
‘A client had once said to Ash that the past is a currency that never devalues. Out from East City, piloting a hover on a buying-run, those words returned to Ash like an implant meme that wouldn’t dismiss, like a stubborn hallucination of a dopamine dream.’
‘Frankie’ featured in Issue 285 of Interzone
‘After Frankie died, his shack in the woods became a sort of shrine. People travelled from all over the country to visit this place in the mountains to the south of our country, where he’d seen out the last of his days. Students and children camped outside on the grass, sleeping under light blankets, eating yellow broth cooked up in a pot over a fire. People read excerpts from Frankie’s work. A local band played.’
‘Dream of the High Mountain’
‘Dream of the High Mountain’ featured in Issue 284 of Interzone
‘A man in white djellaba crossing a high rise balcony. A view from a compound window in Tucson. Wagtails dying by the motorway. ‘My name is Mieko Tan. Welcome to my crazy world!!!’ The last spire of Venice slipping beneath the waves.
Not long into his stay in the retreat, Morgan realised where he’d first seen Elena Fisk. She sat near him at lunch: a tall, pale, gently muscular woman with sedate grey eyes behind narrow retro glasses, her black dreadlocks twisted into the shape of a tortured spider. She shared a table with another recent arrival, a Swedish man, who, during those first lonely days Morgan had entertained himself by imagining as a Scientology spy.’
‘A Pressed Red Flower In The Abandoned Archive’
‘A Pressed Red Flower In The Abandoned Archive’ featured in Issue 71 of Black Static
‘After returning from Indonesia, I found a short term research job with the Unit of Disaster Management, an obscure research unit located in offices outside of Waterloo. On a nine month contract, my duties were low level and banal, but gradually, as my work became appreciated and deadlines loomed, I moved onto more important projects. Proofreading and editing reports on anything from Islamist terrorist cells to coastal erosion in East Anglia, I was required to sign the official secrets act, a bond which, although I’m not sure how, I may now be breaking.’
‘When You Decided To Call’
‘When You Decided To Call’ featured in Issue 69 of Black Static.
‘When I was very young, my father told me stories of a cycling holiday he had taken in the Netherlands during his early twenties. One spring, a little after my thirtieth birthday, I took two weeks off work to follow his journey… Expressive as it was of a world before I was born, the landscape seemed an occult place to me, simultaneously fascinating and forbidding, like the realm of death.’
‘Acton Undream’ featured in the first issue of Black Static.
‘Bax once had a dream where Joseph Goebbels worked as the entertainer at a children’s birthday party. I have never forgotten it. At that time, the TV had packed in and the mother board on the computer was shot. Bax and I relied on each other’s dreams to pass the time.’
‘You Will Be wearing green’
‘You Will Be Wearing Green’ featured in issue 9 of the Crimewave series, published by TTA Press.
A gang of teenagers sat laughing around a mobile phone on the 18.17 out of Victoria, but Derek tried to ignore them. He concentrated on his paper, reading the front page story about a body found in woodland on the outskirts of the city, a young female student who had been missing for over a week.Beyond the train window, the interior of the station drained away, soon replaced by the steel-crossed view over the Thames.’
‘The Days We Lived Like Them’ featured in issue 45 of Brittle Star magazine
We moved to the suburbs, renting the ground floor of a Victorian terrace. A young couple shared the flat upstairs, but while my wife occasionally saw them in the communal hallway, in over three months I had never met them.
‘Park Rites’ featured in London Noir, edited by Cathi Unsworth and published by Serpent’s Tail (UK) and Akashic Books (US). Loosely based on true events, the story follows Enzo, a troubled teenager, as a walks around Clissold Park in North London. London Noir has been translated in French, Italian, Turkish, and Russian.
Subtle Edens: The Elastic Book of Slipstream
‘My Copy of Robinson‘ featured in the anthology of slipstream fiction, Subtle Edens. You can also read ‘My Copy of Robinson’ on my site.
‘I’d like to say that I discovered Robinson for myself, but as usual someone else had to show me the way. I seem to require jumpstarts like this to overcome the indolence, which seems to be my natural state. Alarmingly, as I grow older, I seem more in the grip of this laziness: a paralysis that is something like fear.’
‘A Reason For The Town’ featured on 3:AM Magazine.
‘When I came to the town, what struck me most was the large number of dwarfs. They seemed, really, to be everywhere: haggling in the aisles of food shops, holding hands underneath the coloured plastic awnings of the street market, sipping cans of lager upon the promenade. That such an insignificant coastal town could claim so many dwarfs amongst its citizens struck me as amazing and I struggled to account for it. Some nights, I closed my eyes and imagined a ship running aground, a cruel current, a winter storm. This was, perhaps, wrong. The dwarfs were not the outsiders, after all. I had only recently arrived.’
Read ‘A Reason For The Town’ here.
I’ve also published a few stories on my blog. I’m planning to make them available as a collection some time soon, but until then they’re all available below. Some have been rescued from obscurity from publications which have vanished, while some are just, well, obscure.

From October through March, Roberta Elliott of South Orange visited with Ming*, the 22-year-old daughter of subsistence farmers from southern China, at the Elizabeth Detention Center.
About a month ago, Elliott arrived at the center to find that Ming was gone. She has no idea whether Ming was deported or moved to another detention facility.
According to Elliott, that’s par for the course at the center, where individuals are held, sometimes for months, while they wait for their immigration status to be determined or await deportation. For volunteers like Elliott, it’s also the reason they keep going back, hoping to bring a measure of compassion to a process some observers consider callous and often arbitrary and even frightening and demoralizing.
Opened by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and administered by the private Corrections Corporation of America, the facility near Newark Airport can house up to 300 individuals.
Elliott started visiting detainees there in September as a project related to her becoming an adult bat mitzva in November at Bnai Keshet in Montclair. Although she trained with Sojourners Detention Center Visitor Program, established in 1999 and affiliated with New York City’s Riverside Church, it didn’t take her long to start her own group, one that is Jewishly affiliated. It appears to be the first Jewish-affiliated detainee visitation program nationwide.
“The smile that lights up Ming’s face when she sees me each time tells me that these visits are God’s work — and the purest expression of my faith,” Elliott told an audience at Congregation Beth El in South Orange in March, before she discovered Ming’s absence.
“I have no objection to church groups, and I am grateful to Sojourners for having trained me; I just think as Jews we should be a light unto nations and we should set the example.”
Elliott said there is no specific Jewish component to her program.
“But it is the raison d’être: that we are to welcome strangers and visit the sick.” Visiting the detainees, she said, “is not so different from visiting the sick.”
She also said that Jews, as the quintessential strangers, “have a particular obligation to do this kind of work.”
Elliott had already recruited seven volunteers to join her, and her talk at Beth El yielded one more, who has not yet undergone training. (Training is done in partnership with First Friends, a detainee visitors’ group.) She will also speak at Oheb Shalom Congregation in South Orange on April 25 and hopes to recruit more volunteers there (see sidebar).
In March, her group was embraced by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, where Elliott is vice president of media and communications. Founded to serve wave after wave of Jewish immigrants, HIAS has transformed its mission to wider advocacy for refugees and immigrants of all backgrounds. Elliott’s visitor program is serving as a pilot for HIAS, with the goal of making it nationwide.
There is no specific political advocacy component to the program, Elliott said. “We are there to provide people with friendship and companionship. Many of these folks either know no one in this country, or their families are not able to visit.
“Sometimes in the course of conversation, we of course discuss political situations in the detainee’s home country that led them to flee, if they are asylum-seekers.” But, she added, “we are not an advocacy group.”
“Roberta’s project offers a way of serving the compelling needs of asylum seekers and doing it through a Jewish lens,” said Gideon Aronoff, president and CEO of HIAS. “HIAS is always looking for ways to take the core Jewish values of visiting the stranger and caring for the vulnerable and making them into programs that can be introduced nationwide. We want to see if we can work in a compelling way on this project.” Aranoff will join Elliott at the April 25 presentation.
HIAS is providing Elliott with some support and will make her effort part of the National Jewish Center for Refugee Immigrant and Integration Services that the organization is developing.
The HIAS website states that the organization “believes that the detention of individuals who pose no threat to society is a costly, inhumane, and unnecessary practice. Too often, detained immigrants and asylum seekers are jailed in harsh conditions thousands of miles from their families.
“Last year, U.S. taxpayers paid $1.2 billion to detain more than 260,000 immigrants, including families and children. Many are seeking asylum in the U.S. or were working to support their families before being caught up in raids.”
Elliott’s program has volunteers committing to visiting twice each month. Visiting time is limited to one hour, but the entire process can take as long as three hours with the addition of travel time and getting through security screenings, according to Elliott.
The visits themselves are not always easy.
“It’s hard work. It’s not an easy little chit-chat,” said Ellen Kolba of Montclair, who joined Elliott’s group after hearing her talk at Bnai Keshet. Kolba has been visiting detainees since January.
“There’s a Plexiglas shield that goes around the entire length of the room. You are cut off completely from the people you are visiting. The only way to communicate is by telephone,” she said. “You can’t hand the person anything; and you can’t hear anything except through the phone. You have to work hard to hear. Their English isn’t so good; they have an accent or maybe they don’t speak English at all. And you have to work to find things to talk about.”
‘Light unto the nations’
If visits are difficult for Kolba, getting involved was not.
“I knew about the detention center; I was more than vaguely aware that we were detaining immigrants without documents,” she said. “I’ve been thinking for a while about immigrant rights, and this is an immediate and direct way to have an effect. I like the idea of relieving the alienation these people must feel.”
She also identifies with the detainees. “I think a lot about the fact that my ancestors probably did not have appropriate documents by today’s standards,” said Kolba. “I don’t think they had anything. But they got in.”
Kolba, Elliott, and the other volunteers do not need professional training, beyond learning what to expect and some basic dos and don’ts, covered by First Friends. That’s because they don’t play an official, professional role in detainees’ lives.
“Our role is to be a compassionate listener and to provide friendship. Obviously, if we see something egregious, we will probably say something, but lawyers are in and out all day long and they are better able to assess the conditions of detention,” said Elliott.
In 2006, 550,000 people arriving by air, sea, or land were denied admission into the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. According to the National Immigrant Justice Center, 440,000 people were detained in the United States in 2008. Many of the detainees held at the Elizabeth Detention Facility arrived at a nearby airport or seaport, but some have been transferred here from other parts of the country. There are six other detention facilities in New Jersey.
Ming was the second of three detainees Elliott has visited with so far. The first, 19-year-old Ahmed* from West Africa, was moved to another facility after just one visit. In early April, Elliott had her first visit with a Muslim detainee from Somalia.
When he found out that she is Jewish and works for a Jewish organization, Elliott said, “his eyes lit up, and he told me he had little contact with Jews before he came to the U.S. in December, but that all his contacts here have left him with very good feelings about Jewish people.”
His first intake lawyer was Jewish, as were two of his visitors, she said.
“This was exactly why I started a Jewish group,” said Elliott, “so that we can really be a light unto the nations. His appreciation of Jewish people made my heart sing.”

A recent E. coli scare in Puslinch Township turned out to be nothing but an ill-advised hoax, perhaps carried out by overzealous opponents of a proposed gravel pit.
On Aug. 6, Mayor Brad Whitcombe said two recent drinking water samples tested positive for the E. coli bacteria.
The water samples were supposedly taken from private wells near the site of the proposed Roszell Road gravel pit, where residents cited past spreading of biosolids on that property as a possible source of the bacteria.
The health unit responded by telling the residents not to consume the well water or even to brush their teeth with it, Whitcombe noted.
However, it was later revealed to the mayor – by a resident who submitted one of the samples – that the water was in fact not drinking water at all, but surface water from an area next to the Speed River.
“That’s when I hit the roof,” Whitcombe said in an interview. “It was a stupid move … an abuse of the [free water testing] system.”
Rob Thompson, Director of Health Protection with the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, said any reports of E.coli in drinking water samples “set off a number of alarm bells,” especially considering the eight confirmed cases recently linked to the University of Guelph’s food services.
“It’s a bit unsettling that someone would be doing that,” Thompson said of the sample tampering in Puslinch. “It’s problematic and people just shouldn’t be doing it.”
He noted the health unit has not heard anything about the matter since, and in fact was first informed about the issue by township officials.
Thompson stressed it is not uncommon for surface water to test positive for E. coli at this time of year.
While such matters are not the direct responsibility of the municipality, Whitcombe said he felt he had to speak out.
“When the word ‘Walkerton’ comes up in a conversation, as the head of council I have to act,” he said.
He added the hoax was “misguided” and “very distressing,” and such actions “erode the public process,” as council is already faced with a difficult decision about the gravel pit.
Whitcombe said he hopes this was an isolated incident and residents will remain respectful of testing well water on a regular basis. Thompson also encouraged regular testing of private well water.
Councillor Matthew Bulmer said he understands residents have concerns, but deliberately trying to deceive everyone is not a good idea.
“Sometimes when you get down and dirty the mud sticks to you, too,” Bulmer said of those responsible. He suggested the least those individuals could do is offer to cover the lab costs for the tests.
Whitcombe told council he has since been informed by township experts that E. coli does not last very long in soil, and if present would have been moving in the opposite direction. Therefore, past biosolid spreading on the property would likely not affect readings in nearby wells, he added.
The mayor stressed he is not aware of any legitimate water quality issues in the township.

How to Sketch: 15 Basic Drawing Techniques for Beginners
Have you always enjoyed sketching and doodling, but you’ve never actually tried your hand at real drawing techniques before? Drawing is something that we really recommend everyone tries at least for a little bit in their lifetime! Like any art or skill, it takes a lot of practice, but you’ll feel accomplished when you see how quickly your abilities develop.
How to Sketch: Things to Draw for Beginners
To help you get started, here are 15 super helpful drawing techniques for beginners. Just for beginners, yes. Please note, mastering these shapes and shades will help you advance your skills and draw like a pro.
1. Draw curly hair
Creative Bloq teaches you how to draw curly, textured hair starting from just a squiggly line measured out between two tapered parallel ones. They clearly map out how to add dimension and depth to each curl by adding another slightly staggered wiggly line and building the strand from there.
2. Avoid smudging
Wiki How shows you the best technique for avoiding smudges on your drawings particularly if you prefer sketching in pencil! This tip works for everyone, but it’s especially important for left-handed artists. People who draw with their right hand might smudge their work if the piece is big enough that you have to reach across it, but left-handed people reach at an angle that sets their hand over their strokes more often.

3. Draw sky and clouds
Art in Construction guides you through the process of filling your paper with a smoky, smudged effect in order to create a sketched out sky that has depth just like the real thing, rather than just leaving the top section of the drawing blank, matte, and flat. Smudging with a cloth helps to give you more control of how evenly you rub that portion of the drawing.
4. Hold and control your pencil properly
Proko reminds you that holding your pencil properly is crucial for controlling it and making it perform the way you want it to. The most control you have, the more precise your lines and details will be. They’ll even give you tips on when and were to apply pressure while you draw.
5. Sketch animal fur
Tuts Plus points out that drawing shaggy animal fur isn’t always the same as trying to draw human hair. Animals with fur coats have hair that sits in thick, often uneven layers, while human hair flows and moves more easily. Believe it or not, these things can actually be reflected in how you draw each strand!
6. Sketch light and shadow
Idiot’s Guide shows you how to show distance and perspective in a drawing by using simple, easily mimicked shapes to highlight how shadows and light change depending on how you want the object you’re sketching to be positioned.
7. Sketch fruit
Scribble suggests using fruit as a practice for still life drawing, allowing you to perfect your shapes, strokes, shadows, and highlights while the object of your study sits still and accessible to you. If you really want to practice, try drawing the same fruit from different angles!
8. Sketch an eye
DragoArt shows you that the trick with sketching eyes is shading properly so they appear to have some life to them. If you simply draw a flat, un-angled sketch of an eye shape without paying attention to reflections and depth, the person you’ve created will look as though they have no depth or emotion.

9. Sketch a mouth
Learning to sketch features step by step is the best way to eventually piece together an entire face! First, try learning to sketch a mouth and a set of lips by following the steps on Arty Factory. Once you mastered those, you’ll be able to start playing with lip and mouth shapes to create people who look very different and have different characteristics or physical traits.
10. Sketch a face
Have you practiced your facial features like crazy and now you feel like you’re ready to put them all together? Well, you’ll need to put them somewhere that makes sense, so take a look at DragoArt and learn how to draw basic face shapes before you try to construct a whole person!

11. Draw straight hair
Gavin O’Donnell reminds you that even the straightest of hair sits at angles and moves in different directions, rather than just laying straight and flat against a person’s head and face as you might see in a quick sketch of a stick figure. Learning to draw strands in which the individual hairs are discernible is the main task.
12. Sketch a tabby cat
How 2 Draw Animals shows you how to draw a simple tabby cat that makes a great (and totally adorable) starter sketch for putting what you learned above about animal fur to good use. You’ll also get practice shaping a facial structure that isn’t just the average human face.
13. Sketch a spaniel dog
Christopher Hart teaches you how to sketch a dog in a cartoon style, rather than a life mimicked method. We think this is awesome! You can adjust what you learned drawing this dog later on when you decide to learn about sketching dogs that look more immediately realistic too.

14. Sketch trees step by step
Okay, so we know you’ve probably been drawing trees in some capacity since you were old enough to pick up a pencil, but now it’s time to make them look like the real thing! DragoArt guides you through the process of shading and angling that will help you create a wilderness scene as nice as this one.
15. Sketch a glass of water
If you’re really looking for a challenge when it comes to realistic drawing and reflections, then check out how Circle Line Art School suggests drawing a glass of water. It takes some practice, as it’s a little more complicated than the 2D version you might have drawn in primary school where the surface of the water was just a straight line, but you’ll feel as though your skill has greatly improved by the time you’re finished.
How to draw for beginners
Do you know someone who sketches quite well and who’s been thinking about taking up real drawing, but who hasn’t really started practicing their techniques yet?

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a $24.3 billion education budget on Thursday for the upcoming fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, which state House Republicans have criticized as wasteful spending.
The new budget increases per-pupil spending, with a 5 percent raise in the foundation allowance. This raise brings the per-pupil funding to $9,608, the highest in the state’s history, according to the governor.
Speaking at a bill signing ceremony in Suttons Bay, Ms. Whitmer said that the budget prioritizes educational equity.
“We know that potential is universal, but opportunity is not. And when we make investments in the education of our kids, we’re creating opportunity for all,” she said.
The budget allocates $160 million to provide free breakfast and lunch to approximately 1.4 million PreK-12 students. This move is intended to ease financial burdens for families and enhance student focus during their school day.
Additionally, the budget allocates $13.3 million to achieve a 50 percent increase in funding for English language learners at the pre-K education level. It also designates $10 million to support critical incident mapping at community colleges and public universities to enhance campus safety.
State Sen. Darrin Camilleri (D-Trenton), the bill’s sponsor, said that the budget is one that “our students, families, and educators have been waiting for.”
Additionally, the state-funded pre-K program will be expanded to include families below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines—or a family of four making $90,000 a year. This expansion is expected to provide free preschool access to 5,600 more children starting this fall.
“Every Michigan child deserves a chance to pursue their potential and build a bright future. This historic education budget will make that possible,” Ms. Whitmer said in a statement.
“This budget puts students first and supports parents by expanding access to free pre-K, providing free breakfast and lunch to all public school students, and improving higher education.”
Ms. Whitmer’s ambitious plan includes providing free preschool for all families in Michigan by the end of her second term, which she believes will result in significant savings for families and contribute to a more equitable society.
State House Minority Leader Matt Hall criticized the budget in an official statement, arguing that Democrats prioritized pet projects over students’ academics.
“Michigan children who’ve struggled to learn to read won’t get much comfort from the fact that Democrats put pet projects—powered by a tax hike—over students’ academics,” Mr. Hall said in a statement.
He said that Republicans in the state called for increased investment in classroom learning, but instead, “Democrats squeezed $2 billion for pork and new programs into the school budget.” That money, he said, “could have provided nearly $1,400 more for each Michigan student.”
“They also eliminated dedicated funding for the school resource officers who keep our schools safe. To add insult to injury, Democrats can’t even pay for all their unnecessary spending unless they raise taxes on Michiganders who are struggling from the rising cost of living,” he added. “Michigan should wisely invest in student success instead of increasing taxes just to pay for the latest pork projects.”
Mr. Hall contends that Michigan could have allotted $10,968 per pupil had the Democrats not “added $2 billion of spending on pork and other programs into the school budget.” He cited the $125 million spent on green buses “that simply don’t work for expansive rural communities.”
The budget was approved in the state House with a margin of 58–50, gaining the backing of all Democratic lawmakers. Two Republicans in the chamber, state Reps. Graham Filler of Clinton County and Mark Tisdel of Rochester Hills, also voted in favor of the bill.
In the state Senate, the budget received more support from the GOP and passed with a vote of 29–8. Nine Republican state senators, including Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt of Porter Township, supported the budget’s approval.
Beyond per-pupil funding and free meals, the budget designates $343 million to support students’ mental health, school safety, and a counseling internship program for graduate-level mental health professionals. Additionally, $150 million is allocated to the “MI Kids Back on Track” program, providing tutoring and academic catch-up services for students at risk of falling behind.
To address the teacher shortage in Michigan, the budget includes funding for various incentives to attract and retain educators, such as tuition-free teacher training, student loan repayment for school employees, and stipends for student teachers.

History comes alive through unique tour
15 CHERISHED SITES PART OF THE ITINERARY
Mrs Fitzgerald’s heart – the historian was born in the front room of the estate and grew up in it.
“My great grandparents bought it in 1900,” she said.
“It’s everything because it was the only place I knew until we moved out in 1970.”
While the estate is fenced off, tour participants will get a rare opportunity to see the inside of the house Mrs Fitzgerald called home.
The historian said she hoped the tour would offer a deeper insight into how much times have changed.
Lunch will be at the Alroy Tavern, once a mansion owned by the brother of a famous male soprano, Peter Dawson.
The Distillery, which is where the tour will stop for afternoon tea, is the repurposed Minchinbury Winery.
Mrs Magann said the society worked with The Distillery’s owner to preserve the historic sanctity of the site. “Blacktown today is one of only a handful of councils in Australia that still has its original boundaries,” Mrs Magann said.
She said the history of Mt Druitt was significant because Rooty Hill Government House is what she believed laid the infrastructural foundations for Blacktown Council today.
Her favourite sites are St Bartholomew’s Church and The Distillery.
The tours will run from 9am to 5pm today, tomorrow and Friday. Bookings are essential and the cost is a gold coin donation but does not include lunch and afternoon tea. For details, call Blacktown Council on 9839 6000.
Sue Fitzgerald lived at Neobile House, which is part of the heritage tour that also includes (inset from top) Mt Druitt Memorial Hall, The Oaks and The Manse.
