Forgiveness is a powerful, often misunderstood, human experience. When we have been hurt or wronged by someone, one of the most natural reactions is to feel anger. If the anger persists, it can lead to deep resentments that may affect us for years. The idea of forgiving the offending party can seem impossible, unfair, and perhaps too difficult to even consider. While forgiving others can begin with an understanding of what happened, and draw from a wide range of spiritual teachings about human nature, it is important to understand that forgiveness benefits you more than anyone else. We give a gift to ourselves when we forgive. No matter how serious the action that harmed us, working towards the goal of forgiveness will heal your heart and soul in a way that no person or event can ever take from you. Being a forgiving person is an embrace of unconditional self-love.
Forgiveness clears away anger, resentment, and fear. When we are locked into those feelings, it’s impossible to see how some of life’s most difficult situations can be opportunities for deepening our connection to what is truly important.
If we forgive, we become our own source of healing.
Without forgiveness, we’re not equipped to begin to restore our sense of well-being and preservation. Forgiveness is not about abandoning what is right and just, but it gives us the ability to know what to act on, and what to let go of. Resentments cloud our judgment. When you forgive, you release the energy that you are misdirecting on to another person and the past, and focus it where it belongs – on you, in this moment.
When you hold on to anger and refuse to forgive, you only hurt yourself. It can become a cycle of hatred that never ends. Love is what combats anger, and forgiveness is love. To forgive is not to excuse, condone, or necessarily forget. It may or may not include reconciliation. We might have to change or end a relationship in our lives, but forgiveness teaches us to detach with love. Understanding this concept – that we can be loving to everyone no matter the circumstances – can improve every area of our lives. We need to look beyond the individual incidents when thinking about the true nature of forgiveness. It should be part of our daily spiritual practice.
When we let go of the expectation that we “should” receive an apology, or that we are “owed” something for the wrongs inflicted on us, we are free in the greatest sense of that word. We should seek to approach everyone and everything, including ourselves, with forgiveness. How many of us beat ourselves up for mistakes we feel we have made? What is gained by not forgiving our own actions? If we are continually angry at ourselves it begins to become a distraction from true self-examination. Being accountable and evolving as a person is the goal. Punishing ourselves is not. It is contrary to our self-growth.
Almost all of the world’s religions and teachings address the topic of forgiveness. In Buddhism forgiveness is talked about as letting go of negative feelings that would otherwise have a lasting effect on our true nature. Meditation often focuses on forgiveness for people in our lives we feel have harmed us, and on forgiveness for ourselves. Similarly, Christianity tells us that by forgiving others we are forgiving ourselves. No matter what spiritual path we follow, when we don’t forgive, we suffer – even more so than from the original pain or hurt we felt when the incident happened. Focusing on acceptance and compassion toward everything and everyone in our lives brings harmony and enlightenment.
Forgiveness is a logical result of living life with awareness and consciousness. If we remain mindful of the bigger picture when someone hurts us, we gain understanding about how their own issues and attitudes have affected them. Compassion, empathy, and forgiveness flow if we remain aware.
Forgiveness may not come right away. It is often a process. Feelings are always changing. The wish for revenge or retribution shifts if we allow the natural pendulum of life to swing away from those initial feelings. Forgiveness is non-reactive. It is contemplative and restores balance and peace. This is not to say you must feel this way right from the start. Knowing the value of forgiveness is the ability to pause, breathe deeply, and take time to think before you double down on anger and resentment. Once you can step into a forgiving mindset, a world of possibility opens. Though we may think of forgiveness as giving something up, it is really an opportunity to gain more than we could have ever imagined.
When forgiveness becomes a way of life, we all benefit on an individual level and as a society. Whether it is forgiveness for very severe wrongdoing, or just not feeling anger towards that person who cut you off in traffic, holding a different attitude about what we do with our pain, suffering, or just everyday annoyance, can dramatically transform the quality of our lives. We have the choice to forgive. Especially ourselves.

|My pages about West Coast of Sweden
|My travel stories
|My photo impressions
|Käringön, one of my favourite islands
|Skaftö, hiking to lovely Grundsund
One of our favourite spots to visit for a week during the spring, before the tourist season starts, is the West Coast of Sweden. I think this is my seventh visit to this part of Sweden, quite remarkable as I hardly ever revisit a place! I often squeeze in some all-time favourites during these visits, but I also try to discover new places. And the Koster Islands, part of the Kosterhavets National Park, is one of those spots that has been on the wishlist forever, and which I finally managed to visit in June 2021. The weather was not fully on our side, but great to finally be able to hike on the island of North Koster.
For now this page will be a sort of photo collage, but hopefully some day soon I will have some time to write a bit more in depth about my visit to Koster Islands.
All the photos in the collage below are clickable, so you can view the larger photo.

Kojic Dipalmitate is an ingredient known for its whitening and brightening benefits. It is derived from kojic acid, a natural substance produced by certain types of fungi. This powerful ingredient is popular in the cosmetic industry for its ability to effectively lighten skin discoloration and improve overall skin tone. In this blog, we will explore how to use kojic acid dipalmitate powder, its advantages over kojic acid, and the best suppliers of this remarkable ingredient.
Learn about Kojic Dipalmitate Powder
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder is a highly stable and oil-soluble form of kojic acid. Its chemical structure is more readily absorbed by the skin, making it the ingredient of choice for many skin lightening products. This powder form offers greater stability, ensuring a longer shelf life and optimum efficacy. Lynabio is a company specialized in the production and sale of pharmacologically active substances, supplying high quality Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder to meet the growing demands of the cosmetic industry.
How to use Kojic Dipalmitate Powder
To incorporate Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder into your skincare routine, you can mix it with other cosmetic ingredients or use it as a standalone product. It’s worth noting that this ingredient should be used in moderation to avoid any potential side effects. Do a patch test on a small area of skin first and wait 24 hours to make sure there are no adverse reactions. If irritation does not occur, you can continue to use it in your desired skin care products such as creams, lotions, serums or soaps. Always follow the recommended usage guidelines provided by the supplier.
Kojic acid dipalmitate and kojic acid
Kojic acid dipalmitate
While both kojic acid dipalmitate and kojic acid are effective skin lightening agents, there are significant differences between the two. Kojic acid dipalmitate is considered a more stable and mild alternative to its counterpart, kojic acid. When kojic acid is exposed to air and sunlight, it oxidizes, reducing its effectiveness. On the other hand, kojic acid dipalmitate has high stability and is safer for long-term use. It also has better skin penetration for faster, more visible results.
Best Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder Suppliers
When sourcing Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder, it is of utmost importance to choose a reputable and trustworthy supplier. Lynabio specializes in the production and sales of pharmacologically active substances, raw materials and plant extracts, and is one of the best choices. They offer high quality Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder that meets stringent industry standards. Aogubio ensures the purity, stability and efficacy of its products, along with excellent customer service and competitive pricing.
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder offers a safe and effective solution for those looking for skin whitening and improved complexion. Its stability, oil solubility and excellent skin penetration make it the first choice for cosmetic formulations. Lynabio specializes in the production and sales of high-quality pharmacologically active substances, and is a reliable supplier of kojic acid dipalmitate powder. By incorporating this remarkable ingredient into your skincare routine, you can achieve a brighter, more even complexion and regain confidence.

Winter Is Coming
To be honest it is already here, in Russia. So why winter may be as attractive as any other season in Russia? You may discover something new for yourself...
Winter came early this year and Russia is already covered in snow and looking forward to the New Year and Christmas holidays. It is amost unbelievable we still have 1,5 months to wait. But it is just the right time to prepare a trip to Russia. Do not forget, we have a long winter.
So why Russia in winter:
- Low season and the best offers from the top hotels in Moscow and St. Petersburg
- Loads of winter acivities perfect for an incentive program and an individual trip - Yukigassen (a special snowball fight), husky sled riding, snowmobile, ice golf etc.
- Some true Russian entertainment, that you will only experience in winter - such as a ride on a troika sleigh, diving into an ice-hole and a hot Russian banya after.
- Much less visitors in museums and public places - the best museums will be just for your group! Well, almost... And do not forget if you would like to be completely alone, we will organize an early opening for you.
- Lots of festivals and shows outdoors and indoors - historicly, winter was always the time for social life and we still have this tradition.
- The best time to see the true Russian opera and ballet (the troops are usually on tour in summer)
- Magnificent festive atmosphere in the city center with bright decorations on the streets, in shops, hotels... - Christmas spirit follows you everywhere.
- Russia was meant to be seen in winter. Thick layers of snow turn the old city into a winter fairytale. And unlike some warmer countries, Russia is used to this amount of precipitation - traffic functions normally, no jams.
- Do not believe the rumors about "freezing Russin winter". In Moscow and St. Petersburg it is from -1 to -8 C or even warmer most of the time. Of course, there are several days a year when the tmperature drops to -15 C or lower.

Launch of the New Clinical Innovation Platform
CLIP was created at the MGH-MUHC thanks to a $2M donation from National Bank of Canada.
The Montreal General Hospital Foundation (MGHF) and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) are proud to announce a $2 million donation from National Bank of Canada. This financial contribution will support the launch of the new Clinical Innovation Platform (CLIP), a unique health technology incubator based at the Montreal General Hospital (MGH-MUHC).
The mission of CLIP is to support innovative solutions to unmet clinical needs and accelerate the adoption of technologies into the market and healthcare system. CLIP’s hospital-based ecosystem will facilitate unprecedented access to clinical facilities, expertise, and research labs to validate technologies in a real health care environment.
With proximity to clinics, operating rooms, laboratories, and pre-clinical facilities, this new incubator allows members to network and take full advantage of resources at the RI-MUHC. CLIP is tailored to specifically aid the validation, development, commercialization, and growth of innovation in medical technology.
“Our vision with CLIP was to address unmet clinical needs identified by clinicians and solve them by technology, in partnership with engineers. The opening of CLIP today is the culmination of that dream that we’ve had for many years. CLIP is an environment where clinicians, engineers and entrepreneurs can interact and collaborate to improve the care of our patients,” said Dr. Gerald Fried, Clinical Director of CLIP and Dr Jake Barralet, Scientific Director of CLIP.
“National Bank of Canada is proud to support our healthcare institutions as well as our entrepreneurs. We are very grateful to Drs. Fried and Barralet and to the MGHF for this partnership opportunity to help medtech entrepreneurs improve healthcare through innovation,” said Louis Vachon, President and Chief Executive Officer at National Bank.
“While the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) often expresses its commitment to excellence and innovation, such leadership relies on three key elements, notably talented people, exceptional partners and health technology incubators such as the Clinical Innovation Platform,” said Dr. Pierre Gfeller, MUHC President and Executive Director. I am delighted that today’s announcement not only highlights the presence of these elements, but also the potential impact of the CLIP’s implementation for our patients and their families.”
“Creation of the Clinical Innovation Platform was made possible by a federal Strategic Infrastructure Fund grant and matching funds from the MGHF. We are very grateful now to partner with National Bank, who have provided generous funding for health care start-ups to benefit from the Clinical Innovation Platform so they can develop their ideas, protect their intellectual property, establish a pathway for regulatory approval, build prototypes and validate their technology. We are also grateful to Marika Roy, the Dobson Foundation and the Birks Family Foundation who have believed in this vision and supported us so generously,” said Jean-Guy Gourdeau, President & CEO of the Montreal General Hospital Foundation (MGHF).
“I am delighted to start my tenure as head of the RI-MUHC with this unique initiative. The pandemic has proven that innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration are vital. I am impressed and excited to see such strong support coming from the community towards research and innovation in Montreal. CLIP would not be possible without philanthropy or without the support of National Bank. Thank you for believing in us!” Dr. Rhian Touyz, Executive Director and Chief Scientific Officer of the RI-MUHC
Researchers, grad students and start-ups interested in learning more about the opportunities CLIP can provide are encouraged to visit https://clinicalinnovation.ca/ for more information.

Whitmer Will Work With Anyone For ‘New Era Of Prosperity’ — But Won't Sign Tax Cut Bill
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tweeted March 22: “I will work with anyone, for everyone, as we usher in a new era of prosperity for families, communities, and small businesses.”
Four days earlier, Whitmer vetoed legislation to reduce Michigan’s 4.25% personal income tax rate to 3.9%.
The rate had been 3.9% before Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed a new law raising it to 4.35%. Under that law, the rate was set revert to 3.9% in 2015, but in 2012 that provision was repealed and the state adopted the current rate of 4.25%.

With a land area of 39,171 square kilometers, the diocesan territory covers southern region of the Chhattisgarh state in central India.
On March 23, 1972 the exarchate of Jagdalpur was created by separating the civil districts of Bastar from the apostolic prefecture of Raipur, entrusting it to the Syro-Malabar rite Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) fathers.
In 2016, the population of Jagdalpur diocese was 3,240,000 and 68 percent of them are tribals such as Muria, Maria, Halba, Bhatra, Dorla, Gond, Oraon, Korava and Kol.
Though Hindi is the official language, it is alien to most tribals. There are about 78 tribal dialects such as Muria, Halbi, Dhatri, Gondi and Chhattisgarhi in use.
Under the apostolic prefecture of Raipur, the Society of the Missionaries of St. Francis Xavier had cared the region.
After the exarchate of Jagdalpur was created in 1972, Monsignor Paulinus Jeerakath, CMI, was appointed the first exarch of Jagdalpur mission.
On Feb. 26, 1977, Pope Paul VI raised the exarchate to a Syro-Malabar diocese, appointing Monsignor Jeerakath as its first bishop. After his demise on Aug. 6, 1990, at the age of 70, Father Simon Stock Palathra, CMI, was appointed his successor. Bishop Simon Stock Palathra retired on Jul. 16, 2013 and Bishop Joseph Kollamparampil took the office on Jul. 16, 2013.
The diocese does not have many local converts. The Catholics are mostly migrant Oraon tribals from the neighboring Raigarh diocese, who are employed in government and private sectors or have settled down due to availability of agricultural land.
This is the only Syro-Malabar diocese in Chhattisgarh state.
Monsignor Jeerakath started a diocesan woman's religious Congregation, Deen Bandhu Samaj, in 1976.
People’s livelihood depends on agriculture, fishing and collecting forest produce. Villagers cultivate paddy. Iron ore is exported from Kirandul. The region is considered backward due to illiteracy and lack of development.
The literacy rate in the diocesan territory is 36 percent for males and 16.2 percent for females.
Jagdalpur is situated 299 kilometers south of Raipur, the state capital. It is predominantly a forest area, home to many tribals.
The rich culture of the area is reflected in the numerous fairs, festivals, folk songs, dances and dramas.
The region is also known for its natural beauty, palaces, temples, caves, national parks, wild animals, waterfalls, fairs and festivals.
The Maoists are active in the region and pose a great challenge to the government.
Gonsalo's martyrdom at Nagasaki with the other Christian missionaries is regarded as the most tragic and historic event for Catholicism in Japan
Calungsod and his companion Father Vitores baptized infants, children and adults, defying the risk of persecution and murder
Despite being an ordinary layman, Ruiz remained defiant while facing torture by the Japanese and died a brave martyr
He was the first Korean-born Catholic priest and is now the patron saint of Korea
This fabled church is also known by its Syriac name Mar Sleeva (Holy Cross) Church
Asian Catholics who cannot visit famous Our Lady of Lourdes shrine in France can revere miraculous Mother Mary at Velankanni shrine in India. The Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health is popularly known as “the Lourdes of the East” and holds the largest Catholic Church in Asia.
Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica at Fort Kochi is one of the finest churches and a historic but also a landmark in Kerala state of southern India. Santa Cruz Church blends Indo-European and Gothic architectural style that draws tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists every year. The cathedral is a great place of devotion and historic significance that survived colonial conquests and invasions to the city.
Mokama Marian shrine on the southern bank of Ganges River bears the legacy persecuted Nepali Catholics banished from their homeland to India for refusing to renounce their faith. Our Lady of Divine Grace Church at Mokama stands about 90 kilometers from Patna, the capital of eastern Indian state of Bihar. Mother Mary is popularly known as Mokama Mata (Mother of Mokama). The church was built to honor Mary in 1947.
The shrine holds a three-meter-tall, white-stone carved statue Virgin Mary on the Tao Pao Mountain in the Diocese of Phan Thiet in southern Vietnam, about 1,600 kilometers from the national capital Hanoi.
The Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Urakami of Nagasaki is a witness of persecution of Christians from 17th to 19th centuries and deadly atomic bombing during the Second World War. This European-style, red-brick church continues to preserve some relics that survived the atomic bombing. Urakami cathedral, also known as St. Mary’s Cathedral, was almost destroyed when the atomic bomb was dropped on Aug. 9, 1945. The church stood about 500 meters from the hypocenter of atomic explosion. The devastation shattered and charred stone-made statues of saints, which were later preserved as relics along with the surviving head of Virgin Mary statue and one of the church’s original bells.
Our Lady of Akita Catholic Church is Yuzawadai is among the most famous churches in Japan. The church shot into global fame thanks to a wooden statue of Blessed Virgin Mary that wept 101 times and Marian apparitions to Japanese nun Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa that miraculously healed her hearing impairment. Japanese wooden sculptor Saburo Wakasa from Akita city carved the now-famous miraculous statue of Virgin Mary in 1963.
The Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception in Seria is a small church on the western Belait district of Brunei, but it shot into fame thanks to the nation’s most famous Catholic – late Cardinal Cornelius Sim. It is also the second of three churches in Brunei dedicated to Virgin Mary. In fact, Mary has a prominent place not only in Christianity, but also in Islam, the dominant faith in Brunei. Holy Quran mentions Mary seventy times and reveres her as the greatest woman to have ever lived.

NEWS RELEASE from Canadian Men’s Indoor Lacrosse Team
GRANT, DOYLE AND MERRILL FIRST THREE NAMED TO WORLD TEAM
John Grant Jr., Colin Doyle and Brodie Merrill are the first three players named to Canada’s team for the 2011 world indoor lacrosse tournament.
Grant and Doyle are two of the most prolific scorers in the sport, while Merrill is regarded as the best in the world at transitioning the ball from defence to attack, and all three have extensive experience representing Canada in its national summer sport.
Canada won the first two world indoor tournaments, in Ontario in 2003 and in Nova Scotia in 2007, and will be aiming to repeat when the championship is decided in the Czech capital of Prague, May 21-28.
“Grant and Doyle are the top two lefties in the game,” assistant Team Canada general manager Brad Banister said in making the announcement in Calgary, where he is owner-general manager of the National Lacrosse League’s Calgary Roughnecks. “They’ve done amazing things. Not only are they the best at their positions, they’re the most enjoyable to watch.
“Merrill, with his size, athleticism and speed, is considered by many to be the poster boy for Canadian lacrosse. He’s the best transition player on the planet and is an outstanding role model. All three are logical picks. They’ll wear the jersey with pride.”
Head coach Ed Comeau of Hamilton has been on coaching staffs of NLL teams and of previous national teams on which Grant, Doyle and Merrill played so is well aware of their importance on the roster.
“These are excellent veteran players who have won championships and have been leaders on their teams,” says Comeau. “We want them to bring their leadership skills to help the entire team over the course of the world tournament.
“In an event of such short duration, the leadership we get from within is critical to allow the team to keep focused on the goal.”
Grant, 36, of Peterborough, Ont., played on the golden 2003 and 2007 teams so after adding his four world field tournament appearances will be wearing Canada’s colours at the senior world level for the seventh time.
“Anytime you represent your country it’s an honour and a thrill,” he says. “Representing Canada in the sport I absolutely love and dedicate my life to is exhilarating, and taking indoor lacrosse to an area of the world where it hasn’t been established very long makes the whole idea of the 2011 tournament very exciting. It’ll be an added bonus to go to Eastern Europe and help grow the game.”
Grant was NLL scoring champion and regular-season and playoff MVP in 2007 when he led the Rochester Knighthawks to the NLL championship. He missed the 2009 season after surgery to remove a knee infection but returned last winter to amass 83 points (39-44) for the ‘Hawks in 15 regular-season games. He was named top attacker in the tournament in helping Canada win world field lacrosse silver last July. He begins a new phase of his lacrosse career when he suits up with the Colorado Mammoth in the 2011 NLL season.
Doyle, 33, from Kitchener, Ont., will be making his fourth appearance for Canada at the senior world level having played on the golden 2006 field team and on the 2003 and 2007 victorious indoor teams.
“In 2006, that was truly a remarkable experience especially being up against the U.S. when we weren’t expected to win,” Doyle recalls. “In 2007, we were favoured but barely won. They’re all unique and I’m sure this one will be, too. It won’t be a cakewalk. Just as we’ve been getting better at the field game, the Americans have been getting better at the indoor game, and the Iroquois are always very competitive.”
Like Grant, he’s never been to the Czech Republic.
“We’re taking indoor lacrosse to a global market for the first time in my life, which is something I’d never have imagined to be possible not so long ago,” says Doyle. “Showcasing the world’s best indoor lacrosse to a new market is going to be neat.”
Doyle, captain of Toronto’s NLL team, was title game MVP three of the five times he helped the Rock win it all. He was 2005 NLL scoring champion and MVP.
Merrill, 29, of Orangeville, Ont., will be participating in his fourth senior world tournament. He was a teammate of Doyle and Grant on the 2006 field and 2007 indoor sides and shared the 2010 field experience with Grant. They’ve also been teammates with the Toronto Nationals on the Major Lacrosse League field circuit.
“You feel a great deal of pride anytime you get the opportunity to wear the Team Canada jersey,” says Merrill. “The 2006 and the 2007 tournaments were very memorable and very rewarding. I really enjoyed getting to know the other players and learning what makes them successful.”
He’s never been to Prague either.
“It should be a neat experience,” he says. “In box lacrosse, there are three nations that lead the way _ us, the Americans and the Iroquois _ and this will be a great opportunity to spread the sport in a place where it’s growing.”
Merrill was named NLL transition player of the year each of the last two years with the Edmonton Rush.
What’ll it take to win in Prague?
“We have a tremendous depth of talent,” says Merrill. “We’ll need to find the right mix of guys, guys who’ll be willing to take on specific roles and to play unselfishly. It’ll be important to gell quickly.”
Executive director Dean French, a Toronto businessman originally from Peterborough, and GM Johnny Mouradian, the native of St. Catharines, Ont., who is GM of the NLL’s Philadelphia Wings, are continuing the selection process in consultation with assistant GMs Banister and Dr. Don Hedges and the coaching staff.

Voting rights are also not mentioned in the original Constitution. The 14th Amendment basically set the standard at all males 21 and over. The 15th guarantees voting regardless of race. The 19th guarantees voting to women. The 23rd gives citizens of Washington D.C. the right to vote for president. The 24th prohibits poll taxes in the voting for federal representatives. The 26th lowers the age to 18.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Senior Noah Lee described the sport of squash like this: "You're in this room. You have this racquet. You hit a ball against a wall to your other player, and then they try to hit it back."
Sounds easy enough, right?
It turns out squash is a challenging sport, one that requires speed, strength, agility, focus, and coordination, to name a few things.
Urban Squash Cleveland is a youth development organization that implements academic support and enrichment opportunities, along with the sport, to create a sustainable path for students.
The five participating Cleveland schools are Urban Community School, the Cleveland School of Science and Medicine at John Hay and the three campuses of E-Prep - Cliffs, Willard and Woodland Hills.
Iago Cornes, the program's executive director, stressed Urban Squash Cleveland isn't a squash program; it's a youth development program that uses squash as a pillar.
Tryouts and practices are held at Cleveland State and Case. Shuttling the students from school to practice is a major challenge, Cornes said.
However, that will soon be a concern of the past, as a groundbreaking ceremony was held in October for the program's new facility being built at Urban Community School, located at West 47th Street and Lorain Avenue.

Investment group Mercia Technologies has hailed strong half-year results with growth in revenue and profit.
The Warwickshire-based technology investor increased revenues by more than 65 per cent, from £2.9m to £4.8m, for the six months to 30 September 2017.
It also grew profits after tax to £1.4m from £1.1m in the same period last year.
Mercia invested a total of £9.7m in nine companies during the period, and a further £3.3m since 30 September, including a £1.8m investment into Aston Eye Tech.
Funds under management in the period were £336.5m from £220m a year before.
“Growth is the central theme throughout these interim results,” said chief executive Mark Payton.
“We are pleased with the progress that our direct investments are making and the fair value increase has, in part, occurred as a result of successful syndicated investment rounds.”
“We are also encouraged by the increase in the quantum of funds under management as this enables Mercia to continue to build a sustainable pipeline of potential future direct investments, with the aim of becoming the leading provider of Complete Capital in the key regions of the Midlands, the North of England and Scotland to deliver value for our shareholders.
He added: “We look forward to maintaining this momentum in the second half of the year as we continue to build a sustainable and ultimately self-sufficient investment model.”

Recipes can be a bit of work...but SO SO worth it!
on March 31, 2013
This book gives the ambitious American home cook all the info needed to create stunningly delicious Moroccan meals. Of the nine recipes I've made in the month I've owned it, eight--the almond milk drink, the cucumber and orange water salad, the crushed spiced carrot salad, the basic couscous recipe, the chicken tagine with apricots and pine nuts, the chicken smothered in tomato jam, the lamb tagine with toasted almonds and hard-cooked eggs and the tangier-style chickpea-lentil soup called harira--were lick your chops 'can we make this again tomorrow' amazing. The last one, a carrot salad with cumin, cinnamon and sweet paprika, was pretty good but given all the other amazing recipes in this book I probably won't make it again.
To use this book you need to be ready to start the day before, if needed--as many recipes have a few do-ahead steps such as soaking chickpeas or fermenting flour with lemon juice overnight. You can buy much of what you need at a regular supermarket, but the recipes are better if you follow the advice on ingredients at the beginning of the book. For example, for many dishes, Ms. Wolfert recommends Ceylon cinnamon, a milder-tasting version of the spice than the standard American version; I bought some on Amazon and it is delicious. If you are really ambitious, you can make your own preserved lemons...which marinate a month before they are ready.
For the most part, the instructions are detailed and clear. The book could have benefited from user testing in some parts. Occasionally there are unclear spots--for example, is the tagine supposed to be covered or not? One confusing spot in the Tangier-Style Harira recipe, for example, is the instruction to put beef marrow bones and diced lamb in a deep pot "without any added fat, cover and steam over medium-low heat." The use of the word "steam" here puzzled me at first...was I supposed to use a steamer? Add liquid? I puzzled over it with a friend who is a professionally trained chef; at first she, too, was confused and then she finally told me to just cook it on medium-low and let it steam in its own juices. That worked great. But if this recipe had been user tested this sentence would likely have been clearer.
This is a minor quibble and I only care because this book is SO good I want to make all the recipes. But for those considering the pros and cons of this book carefully, here are a few other criticisms--and collectively the main reason I knocked off a star. My actual rating is about 4.5!
1. **Too Rich and Meat Heavy:** The recipes are skewed towards those with a LOT of meat--at the expense of equally authentic and delicious "poorer" dishes. It is true that Moroccans love meat, and on feast days and in fancy restaurants, the dishes will be giant hunks of meat with sauce or veggies as garnish. But in the home cooking I ate at friends' homes, and in working-class restaurants, a tagine is often a small hunk of meat smothered in vegetables. Some of my favorites have been big mounds of veggies and potatoes with a poor little piece of meat underneath. My friends taught me that, when sharing a tagine with others at the table, you eat the veggies first, exposing the meat---and then the small piece is divided into equal parts so everyone gets a bite. I love this "poorer" style, and I also think it is healthier. I would have loved to see at least several of these veggie-rich tagine recipes included. The book has a few veggie-only tagines but none where meat is present in a cameo role.
2. **Too few practical photos/Too many fun photos** This 500+ page book is full of gorgeous color photos, making it you know, heavy enough to use for bicep curls in a pinch. But paradoxically many of the recipes don't have pics of the finished product. For example, in the poultry chapter, only ten of the 29 recipes have photos that show what the dish looks like when it is finished. This was a good artistic choice, allowing the author to showcase gorgeous National Geographic-style spreads of Morocco which I must admit make it a better coffee-table book than photos of chicken style A, chicken style B etc. But I'm greedy gourmand in this just for the victuals--and I want to see every recipe so I can decide if I want to make it.
3. **Fresh tomatoes? Please. Let's be realistic here.** A very large number of recipes call for fresh tomatoes. But unless it is summer and you have your own garden or access to a farmer's market, the tomatoes you will get will be tasteless plasticey industrialized orbs that were picked green and gassed to make them look red before they put them on supermarket shelves. If you don't believe me, read the book TomatoLand. Anyway, given this sad reality, Ms. Wolfert should have acknowledged that canned tomatoes actually may be better and told us how much to use. In some recipes the author gives cups of tomatoes cut which makes it possible to substitute but in other recipes she uses pounds of fresh tomatoes as the measure, making it hard to know how many canned tomatoes to used. I substituted canned San Marzano plum tomatoes in the chicken with tomato jam recipe with excellent results but I had a lot of anxiety about how much to use and ended up making another pot of jam later. (Note: At least one recipe, the tomato and caper salad, clearly needs to be made with amazing tomatoes in season. I'm talking about the cooked dishes only.)
4.** Short cuts. What short cuts? ** One of the things I love about this book is that it gives the long way to do everything if it is the best way. And much of the time I'm happy to start the day before or spend four hours cooking dinner. But on days when I'm not, can you give me a shortcut please...like the lesser of evils? For example, for the Harira, Ms. Wolfert has you soak chickpeas at least ten hours, then peel them (by running over them with a rolling pin). Results were spectacular. But if I'm just planning Tuesday a.m. for what I'm eating Tuesday evening, can we get a shortcut--like tips on inserting canned chickpeas in the recipe? And if I can't marinate the chicken overnight, will four or five hours do the trick?
5.** No Harissa recipe. Really?** Granted that Harissa, this spicy chili-garlic paste, is actually from neighboring countries and has gained popularity in Morocco. And it's also true that no Moroccan I know actually makes it, as it is cheap and fresh and delicious at your corner souk. But I don't have a corner souk and while yes, I can find it in Boston or order it mail-order from one of the sources helpfully listed in her book, it's faster to make it than schlepping all over town--and given the quality available here, likely better and fresher. So why does Ms. Wolfert (who gives us the long way around for everything else) simply tell you to use pre-made Harissa paste? She does have a recipe for Harissa, available on the 'net, but chose not to include it in this book. Pffft.
And after all this criticism, I'll add one more thing I love. Ms. Wolfert gives a recipe for homemade tomato paste she calls "Tomato Magic." You take sundried tomatoes and put them in the food processor with a good-quality jar of tomatoes, then cook for a half hour until color and flavor deepens. Honestly, I thought it would be more of a pain than it's worth but in fact it is absolutely delicious. And I LOVE her idea of freezing leftovers in tablespoonfuls on a cookie sheet then scraping them off and freezing them in a ziploc. It's better than commercial tomato paste and it solves the irritating problem of opening a can of tomato paste every time I need a tablespoonful and having the rest go to waste!
Overall, this is an amazing book and I can't wait to make everything in it. As I try other recipes I'll add to this post.
EDITED WITH UPDATES on August 31, 2014:
Nearly 1.5 years after buying this book, I still use it regularly, and I have now made more than 30 of its recipes. My skill level has increased, and I'm in the habit of always pre-making basic ingredients--such as tomato magic, kama spice mix etc, and as a result I now find many of the recipes fairly easy. Compared with other cookbooks which can be hit or miss, this one has a great track record with me: Everything I made has been at minimum very very good, and at least half of the recipes in here are exceptional to my palate at least.
A dozen of the recipes in this have become regular favorites in my household, including the amazing Eggplant Zaalouk cold salad, the cucumber-oregano salad with olives, the orange-romaine walnut salad, the dessert couscous (with golden raisins and almonds), fish charmoula, the baked red snapper or sea bass with almond paste and lamb kefta tagine with tomatoes and eggs. The chicken-apricot tagine, mentioned at the top of the review, has become a regular on my dinner table, and I often make several of the easy flatbreads in the book as well, my favorite being the Bread with Sesame and Anise seeds.
It's refreshing to work with a book where I know in advance that the results will be good, even if it is the first time I'm making a recipe. I have had some issues (mainly cosmetic stuff) with a small number of recipes. An example is the baked fish with almond paste. You are supposed to decorate a whole fish with a pretty design of almond paste before baking. In theory this is supposed to be done with a spatula. No way does this work for me...maybe I'm a klutz, but I end up with such an ugly, unappetizing design I just smooth it out to make a layer of almond paste. And also, serving a whole fish to several people when it is covered with almond paste in my hands still ends up as a mess. But it is a delicious mess and so far I've made it twice. Maybe by the fourth or fifth time I'll figure out how to make it not a mess. But in summary, all the recipes in this book are at least delicious...a few are just a tiny bit difficult so you do have to enjoy a bit of adventure!
Also, I want to note that, while I complain above that there are no "poor" tagines with a small amount of meat above, I did discover that the book has three veggie dishes (not strictly tagines) which have a small amount of meat confit in them. I just made the first one, lentils with swiss chard, butternut squash and meat confit. It is absolutely STUNNING and will probably make the short list of stuff I make again and again.

In a big boost to India’s defence capabilities, the Indian Navy’s Boeing P-8I aircraft commenced operations from INS Hansa in Goa today, with two aircraft arriving on 30 December 2021.
The aircraft were inducted after the fitment of indigenous equipment and Flight Acceptance Trials.
The Indian Navy had acquired the first batch of eight P-8I aircraft in 2013 that are stationed at INS Rajali in Arakkonam, Tamil Nadu.
“The second batch of four additional aircraft will be based at Indian Naval Air Squadron 316, to be commissioned at INS Hansa,” the Indian Navy said.
The Indian Navy last month received its 11th anti-submarine warfare P-8I aircraft from the US defence company Boeing. The Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance Anti-Submarine Warfare (LRMRASW) aircraft arrived in Goa from Seattle.
The Union Defence Ministry had in 2009 signed a contract with Boeing for the procurement of eight P-8i aircraft. In 2016, a contract for an additional four P-8is was signed.


Finally the electric blanket is great for those very cold months. You can adjust the temperature to any level of warmth that you need. The new electric blankets are very light in weight and have conductive tape for a more even heat instead of wires. The larger electric blankets have duel controls for either side to provide comfort for two people. They are washable, but you must follow the washing instructions very carefully. Among the variety of personalized presents that are becoming more famous on the gifting world, personalized baby items comprise a huge share. There are lots of baby presents that can be customized.

Receiving blankets are definitely the most versatile type of baby blanket because they are highly multi-functional and can be used for almost any purpose, including a play mat, burp cloth, swaddling blanket, breastfeeding cover and more. However, they are designed specifically to receive the baby at his birth.
There are snuggle blankets for children which comes in small sizes. They are usually softer because of the materials used. Amongst the most famous blanket in the market today is the Korean blanket. They are made from very soft fabric which is perfect for small kids. It is so soft that a lot of people think it is made from the spin fur of mink. However, those are just fiction. In reality, the fabric of Korean blanket is synthetic acrylic cloth. What makes it soft is the thread count and superior craftsmanship.

It appears that 2NE1’s Park Bom will be taking a hiatus from the SBS Sunday variety show, “Roommate”.
SBS’ “Roommate” first aired earlier this year and recently celebrated its 100th day anniversary special by shooting the episode overseas. However, Bom didn’t participate. Neither did she participate in the 11th June recording of the show. A source from the production stated to various media outlets that Park Bom will not be filming the variety show for the time being and it is yet unknown when she will be able to come back.
While Park Bom is currently in Japan due to 2NE1′s world tour concerts, she will not be meeting up with the cast of “Roommates” who have traveled there on 12th July to film the show.
Park Bom had stated to her agency recently, “It won’t be easy appearing on the show,” after being caught up in a controversial drug incident earlier this month.
We’re guessing this is another blow to SBS’ “Roommate” as it was first scheduled to be aired on 20th April but due to the Sewol ferry tragedy, it was halted and then later pushed to May. The show featured 11 celebrities living together in a house, sharing common spaces such as the kitchen, living room, washrooms, as well as doing household tasks together.
The roommates in the show are:
- Hong Soo Hyun (Actress)
- Jo Se Ho (Comedian)
- Lee Dong Wook (Actor)
- Lee So Ra (Model)
- Nana of “After School” (Singer/Idol)
- Park Chan Yeol of “EXO” (Singer/Idol)
- Park Bom of “2NE1” (Singer/Idol)
- Park Min Woo (Actor)
- Seo Kang Joon (Actor)
- Shin Sung Woo (Singer/Actor)
- Song Ga Yeon (Martial Artist)
Meanwhile, we hear that SBS’ contingency plan is to air the episodes she has already filmed without edit.
Apparently, this week’s episode of “Roommate” will be Park Bom’s last one. The show’s chief producer, Baek Jung Ryul, confirmed to TV Report that Park Bom hasn’t been attending filming so there’s no footage of her and hence, realistically speaking, it’s as if she has left the show. He also added, “Park Bom did not make any future plans for filming. There has not been any discussion on this We edited many parts out about Park Bom in the upcoming episode. This was due to the controversy involving legal issues.”
However, allkpop cited the show’s PD, Park Sang Hyuk, who told reportedly MBN:
It’s true Bom hasn’t been participating in the filming since the 11th. Due to this, she won’t be in the broadcasts starting next week. She couldn’t film because of schedules, so we can’t ultimately label this as her leaving. We have footage that has been recorded before, so Bom will be appearing in a portion of this week’s episode.
We truly hope that it’s because of her schedules and not anything else. Here’s hoping that Bom will return to “Roommate” soon. Tweet her your love and support to encourage her, Blackjacks!

VIC WormBoss Worm Control Programs
VIC WormBoss Drench Decision Guides
Livestock Logic Recommendations
Conditions remain dry in the south west of Victoria. Luckily, stock prices remain buoyant giving producers confidence in the livestock sector and making purchasing large amounts of fodder a bit easier.
Given we have had a number of dry springs in the previous few years it is a good time to remind producers of the impact this has had on worm populations for the following summer and autumn period. Without moisture (to keep worms alive) and dry standing feed (to provide shade and shelter for worms) we greatly reduce the carryover population of worms for the following year. This makes worm management easier for the following autumn and winter, BUT only if you make use of this. If the environment makes it more challenging for worms, then we also need to reduce the amount of worms living within the host (our sheep).
This means drenching when required.
The following chart shows the impact that a dry versus wet spring has on the following summer and autumn worm population based on our last 3 years of data for South West Victoria at Livestock Logic.
Figure 1. Months of year versus % of sheep that Livestock Logic recommended drenching
This highlights the differences between a wet spring/summer (2013/14) and a failed spring (2012/13 and 2014/15) in terms of pasture contamination levels and exposure of stock to worms. Focussing on the January to April period we see that in a dry spring and summer period, egg counts were very low by January and remained low right through the autumn.
The above led to a huge difference in the amount of worm eggs on pasture at the time of the autumn break and thus stock challenge in winter and spring.
What this means for us in 2016
Provided it stays dry in January–March, with good worm management over summer this year we can reduce the effects of worms for the 2016 winter. The key to this will be monitoring and eliminating the worm population from sheep with egg counts of 150+ epg. While the data above would suggest that second summer drenching requirements will be limited this year, animals must be monitored 6–8 weeks (6 for weaners, 8 for mature sheep) post 1st summer drench in February this year to know that pastures are not getting contaminated in the late summer/autumn period.

TORONTO – Bleary-eyed councillors emerged from Toronto City Hall on Friday morning after a marathon budget debate that stretched overnight and saw scores of people step forward to defend city services.
More than 300 people had signed up to weigh in on a series of potential and controversial cuts, but as the night went on, roughly half headed home before they could say their piece.
Story continues below
Those who stayed – many of them fuelled by caffeine and giddy with fatigue – made their case in unusual ways, at times bursting into song and even staging a puppet show.
The meeting, believed to be the longest of its kind in the city’s history, wrapped up shortly before 9 a.m. Friday, more than 23 hours after it began.
A consultant’s report has suggested budget-cutting measures that include closing libraries, eliminating overnight buses, shrinking the number of police on city streets and selling the Toronto Zoo.
The report is part of the city’s plan to slash its spending to make up for a $775-million gap in next year’s budget.
Mayor Rob Ford, a controversial figure who rode to power last fall on a promise to “end the gravy train” in Canada’s most populous city, told the weary crowd he was proud of everyone who spoke up.
“Regardless if you agree or disagree with what we’re doing or saying, you’re here and you truly believe in why you’re here,” the mayor said as the spectacle wound down.
“We are going to get this city straightened out. I am very, very proud of each and every one of you.”
But some councillors said they were disappointed by a few of the presentations.
Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti singled out the puppet show, saying “it demeans the process” of public consultations.
Others complained speakers focused on saving services but couldn’t provide any alternatives to cost cutting.

Community leaders broke ground Wednesday at the new Mohawk Street bridge, officially beginning the final phase of construction for the Centennial Corridor, a $147 million project that will create an east-west freeway through Bakersfield.
Once complete, the project will connect Westside Parkway to Highway 58. A bridge connecting the two thoroughfares will cross over California Ave. and Stockdale Hwy. The project is part of the $1.4 billion Thomas Roads Improvement Program, also known as TRIP, named after former Bakersfield Congressman William “Bill” Thomas.
In 2005, then-Congressman Thomas successfully secured $630 million for a number of transportation projects throughout Kern county, including the Centennial Corridor.
“It has national significance because kern county is an east-west county in a north-south state,” Thomas said. “We have plenty of highways running north and south, and didn’t really have anything running east to west.”
The project will give drivers a direct route to access major interstates, including I-5. Local leaders shared their excited for what’s to come.
“The Centennial Corroder Mainline Project is the door of opportunity for the community of Bakersfield and the communities around us,” said Mayor Karen Goh.
Bakersfield City Councilmember Andrae Gonzales shared in the excitement.
“The fact that we will now have a connection between highway 58 and Westside parkway is remarkable,” he said.
“It serves local as well as inter-regional,” noted City Manager Alan Tandy.
Thomas said a growing Bakersfield will greatly benefit.
“It means the world to Bakersfield primarily and fundamentally on the ability to stay connected on the large city Bakersfield has become.”
The city recently received a 50-million dollar grant from the federal government. That means Bakersfield will not have to borrow money to finish the project.
The final phase of the centennial corridor project is expected to be complete by 2023.

Hello everyone! Today a friend and I were taking a nice walk while blasting our favorite songs on the way to the mall when I had one of my random ideas again. What would be the greatest concert in the world? We decided it would there would be six bands playing Also as an added bonus, there would be free food and merchandise at the show as well. It would be a huge charity concert for something important and the admission price would be cheap. Here are the six amazing bands I would have for my dream concert.
To start things off with a bang, I would choose the Scorpions.
The the band would start without an introduction to catch everyone off guard and rock their faces off before the set list even over. They would start off playing Tainted Love followed by No One Like You, then Finish off with Wind Of Change.
Next up would be Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi is an awesome band with amazing songs so they would have to play some of their best ones which would have to be You Give Love a Bad Name, Living on a Prayer, then finally Wanted Dead or Alive to get you psyched for the next band.
The third band would have to be none other than Journey.
What would be a concert without one of the greatest bands ever? For their set list I would have to choose Wheel in The Sky, Separate Ways, and then Don't Stop Believing to finish it off.
The fourth band would be my favorite band of all time, Poets Of The Fall.
You may not know of this band from Finland but they have the best songs I have ever listened to. They would start off with Carnival of Rust, Locking Up The Sun, and would end with my favorite Save Me.
Next up is Shinedown.
This band would start off strong with one of their new ones Diamond Eyes then ending with Sound of Madness and Breaking Inside.
Finally to end the concert with some mind blowing songs would be Night Ranger.
This would be the grand finale of the concert. Night Ranger would start off with Don't Tell Me You Love Me, followed with Restless then would finish it off with Sister Christian.
So what bands would you have for your dream concert? Let me know in the comments below and thanks for reading.
