With the sun finally creeping through and spring in full swing we thought it was about time we did a top 5 picks blog about walking socks! In no particular order let us introduce you to our top 5 walking socks.
Smartwool: Hiking Light Crew Sock
The Hiking Light from Smartwool is a great fitting and performance walking sock. This Smartwool sock uses a smart wool fit system which stops the sock from slipping or bunching when you’re walking on a trail.
The wool on wool or WOW technology gives the Hiking Light sock high impact and high wear sections to reduce shock and abrasion. The fibres in this Smartwool sock are all natural, odour free and have brilliant moisture control.
Finally because of the 76% merino wool that the sock has means that it has amazing anti-bacterial properties which work perfectly with the structure of the sock.
Bridgedale: Woolfusion Summit Knee Sock
The Summit Knee from Bridgedale is designed for the colder elements. This knee sock is in perfect for when you are in the mountains knee deep in snow and pretty much in any cold environments. Even at this time of the year there are still peaks covered in snow (hence why it’s in our top 5 picks).
The summit uses dense cushioning throughout for extra warmth, comfort and to help with impact when walking. The Woolfusion has a great mix to it; its 51% Enduro wool, 29% polyamide, 19% Endurofill and not forgetting the 1% Lycra.
Although this is considered a winter knee sock, if you feel the cold even in the summer then the Summit sock is something to consider.
Sealskinz: Midweight Mid Length Sock
Are you looking for a 100% waterproof sock? Well look no further than the Midweight Mid Length sock from Sealskinz. Due to Sealskinz' unique lining this sock is 100% waterproof, windproof and most importantly breathable.
The Midweight sock has a close fit making it perfect for trail runners, scramblers and even climbers. Even if you are just going out to walk your dog the Midweight sock will feel right at home. This Sealskinz sock uses a seamless pattern to prevent any rubbing and is ribbed at the top for a nice snug fit.
The Midweight has a merino wool loop lining which makes the sock nice and comfortable but also works perfectly at maintaining your foot temperature keeping you warm when cold, cool when hot and helps maintain moisture control.
Bridgedale: Merinofusion Trekker Sock
The Trekker series from Bridgedale is probably their most popular sock to date. The Trekker sock is one of those socks that no matter the weather or even what time of year it is, your feet will be happy wearing them.
This Bridgedale sock is super soft against the skin and due to the merinofusion mix you can wear this sock all day long without any problems. The merinofusion also is what makes the Trekker is great at keeping a balanced temperature around your feet.
It's a brilliant sock for all types of hiking, walking, scrambling and even climbing. And as we said earlier its ideal anytime of the year in pretty much any conditions. Of course this does depend on the person and how he or she feels the cold and heat.
Brasher: Fellmaster sock
Don’t be fooled by this sock. Although it will be at home with the Berghaus (formally Brasher) Fellmaster walking boot, this sock will of course work in all types and styles of boots. Rather than using Merino to control moisture the Fellmaster sock uses 83% coolmax.
With the way the sock is structured the coolmax fits right at home with the Fellmaster. They have also added a comfort fit cuff, comfort fit leg and are ribbed to give all the comfort you need when you are walking.
Lastly the sock's upper and heel have been “terry knitted” and combined with the coolmax it adds warmth and helps wick away moisture. This also prolongs comfort and helps protect your feet.
So there we have it our top 5 picks of walking socks, if you want to see what other socks we stock just view our men's sock page and our women's sock page. What are your favourite socks you like to wear? Is it any of the above? We would love to hear about it so comment below!

I was wondering if chickens like milk to drink or if they do is it good for them
My mother used to feed milk ( it was left over milk from getting pig food) she would mix it into their feed or pellets, mash bread etc. They loved it and sometimes she would add youghurt, they loved that as well. however they seemed to keep getting sinus infections ( in the Bantams mainly) and so I would make up their feed without the milk. it was also bad when they put their entire faces in it as it clung to their feathers and started to smell really bad. I doubt your chickens will drink it if you leave out a dish, they might try it but I doubt they will lap it up like a cat or dog. you could try mixing a little dilutely into their food and see. Personally I just give mine some cheese ( grated or soft) because I know they can eat it and not get it everywhere, It also smells better and doesn't clog up their sinuses
Hello there and welcome to BYC!
They can have a bit of it, but chickens don't have the enzymes to digest milk and can cause them digestive issues. You might want to use Almond Milk or some sort to lactose free milk for them.
Good luck with your flock and welcome to ours!
Hello and Welcome To BYC! X3, it is fine in moderation.
Welcome to BYC! We're glad to have you.
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.
Yes, they can have a little.
Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. You've received some good advice from the other members. I would severely limit the amount of milk you give them. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. What kind of chickens do you have?
Glad you joined us!
Thx everyone for your help I've put out a little bit but they don't seem to like it so I think I will put milk of the list of treats. My chickens are hybrids one of them is what the breeders called a golden speckled hen and the other is a blue maran cross she's very pretty!

The moon is a sickle with no chain, in perpetual swing across the sky, white as bone, as Thor’s breath mists in front of him, his nose inhaling the scent of slick, wet earth underneath him and the humid air that slinks its way between the forest – tinged with fresh, fresh blood.
His mouth is hanging open, long slick fangs jutting out of his gums, as white as Mother Mary’s skin, his hands limp in his lap, heaving breaths from his small chest, eyes blown wide open – big black empty going nowhere –
‘My name is Thor,’ says Thor, denim knees against the blood-slick ground as the sky thunders above them in warning.
The boy breathes. A hand reaches upwards. He has rosary beads around his wrist. They’re burning through his skin, melting through paper white thinness, exposing red muscle sinew capillary bone.
‘Come on,’ says Thor. Wolf claws pick at the beads, pull them off entirely, lets them fall on the ground as the heavens open up and the rains of salvation pour over the boy’s face, cleaning him of the red on his cheek on his chest on his hands, filling his pleading, dry mouth with the diluted blood wine of his sins.
The boy falls asleep on a broken bench in some dead woman’s home. His priest boy clothes are drying on the table beside him – the dripping on the floor like fingers tapping on window panes.
The silver cross the boy wore has burned a mark into his naked chest by the time Thor extricates it from the skin – peeling off like melted wax and healing itself again with some use of dead man magic the boy has now inherited.
The storm screams through the decimated village – clogging up the dead bodies with water, letting them rise no more, drown in their baptism as Thor dries the boy with a dead woman’s towel, her body out on the front porch where she will fill up and bloat and float away with the rest of the untouched.
The boy begins to weep in his slumber – the last clear salt tears he will have before they tinge pink tinge red tinge scarlet lifeblood tracks all down his white cherub cheeks.
‘You will burn,’ says Thor, when the boy reaches for his necklace, made of pure silver, and poisonous against the half-torn open neck that had transformed him into this – bone skin, plague hair, envy eyes; human colours no use when describing the predator brilliance that slides over his body three days after the initial bite.
The boy does not whimper or yell or scream or cry his blood tears when his skin melts down his palms as he clutches the cross in his fist, muttering prayers under his breath, Mother Mary’s name leaving his tongue split in his mouth, filling his throat with sinner man’s blood.
The boy eventually chokes on his decomposing flesh and drops with the thud of a guillotine on the water-clogged wooden floors,
‘You’ll need to drink,’ says Thor, ‘you’ll need the blood of men.’
The boy spits out a chunk of his cheek onto the floor, pants out one more prayer before his eyes roll back into his skull.
When he wakes again two days later, he speaks to Thor for the first time, voice hushed and careful, as if in confessional.
‘I’m a child of God. I won’t drink. I will die, absolved of this.’
Thor shrugs, a bloodied rabbit haunch hanging from his mouth as he chews slowly, sitting across the table from the boy. The cross sits between them, covered in the green of molded magic flesh from the days previous. ‘They say if you kill your maker and drink his blood afterwards, you will be changed back.’
The boy tilts his head, envy eyes looking so bright in the lamplight of the home. Thor gnaws on the bone lightly, wolf claws scratching deep gouges in a dead woman’s table casually. ‘You’re also a monster.’
Thor grins, rows upon rows of milk white teeth, reflecting his sickle moon master’s light. ‘My name is Thor.’
The boy turns away, lays upon the bench and watches the ceiling. ‘I will absolve this maker of his sins.’ He closes his envy eyes, his bone cheeks slackening as he slides into the slumber of the dead.
They begin their travels the following night – Thor’s nose leading them deep into the dark woods around the remnants of the dead village. The boy dresses in priest clothes manually ripped short for his stature, the clerical collar starch white, a noose around his neck.
Thor’s sickle moon master fattens on Thor’s kills – drinks down the blood of squirrel and rabbit and deer, feeds on the slick gristle that stains the corners of Thor’s lips, the warmth of a good kill, fat flesh; the debauchery of not-man settling low and comfortable in Thor’s stomach.
The boy starves. The boy watches with his wide envy eyes on the lines of red painted over wolf claws, wolf chin, wolf mouth like Lilith’s lips after she slid down from the garden. The boy weakens, wastes, shrinks from life – and there is a sick pleasure in his eyes as he feels his Lord take his existence away from him.
‘You must drink if you’re going to kill anyone,’ says Thor on the fifth night as the boy arises naked from his slumber three feet under the earth. He counts twelve apostle ribs on the boy – rising from taut bone skin as emaciation settles within the boy’s body.
The boy ignores him as he is wont to do.
‘You may feed on animal blood, though I hear it does not taste as good as man blood for your kind.’
The boy turns his head slowly to meet Thor’s gaze. ‘I am my only kind.’
On the tenth night, Thor’s sickle moon master is fat and round on Thor’s gorging for the month and lays blessings upon the wolf disciple.
‘Will you return?’ asks the boy when Thor explains he will be drunk on power the night before he is granted such pleasure.
Thor shrugs. ‘That is the whim of the moon.’
And the moon loves Thor. Loves him with the power to split seas and slay giants. Loves him with the euphoria of the religious ecstasy – the mindless complete disarming of Thor’s inhibitions and restrictions that he cannot undo himself.
Thor screams and hunts and kills and basks in glorious, all-consuming, unending power.
The wolf has the boy by the neck, slamming that emaciated son of God body against a tree, inhaling the smell of fear and adrenaline, feeling the struggle against the wolf claws that hold fast.
The wolf is going to tear the boy apart, how easy to pop one limb from the other like taking apart an insect – the satisfying crack, the drip drip of blood on wet forest floor, the strangled half-scream lodged in the throat when the wolf teeth tears through the skin.
The boy kicks and punches and screams. The boy stills. The boy glares with those envy eyes, his twelve apostle ribs heaving underneath that bone skin, so so so familiar to the moon that the wolf is going to lick it clean from blood after he’s done.
The boy takes a shivering breath, and the boy yells Mother Mary’s name into the air – the desperate siren call for redemption – before the boy bites.
‘I will drink your blood. Monster blood. I will drink it and only it. Monster blood to absolve monsters, and I will not touch a human.’
The boy wipes his mouth the fifth time in the last minute, pressing his bone fingers against his mouth, tasting the cracked, dried blood over his skin as he has spilled it all over himself with his first drink. It paints Raphaelite portraits of sin and desire over his ribs, in the creases of his elbows, over his chin and on his neck.
Thor’s master is shirking away from the sun in the distant horizon and he wakes from his delirium with a sharp pain over his neck, on his wrist, chest, shoulder – the boy’s mouth leaving rose petal kisses of the devil over his skin, draining him out.
‘You should get into your dirt,’ says Thor in a breath, back against the earth, watching the sky lighten, and closes his eyes for slumber. The boy repeats his own lies to his ears as he digs himself down, words transforming into the lullaby that lulls him to sleep.
They find the monster nest five days later – in a rundown shack on the edges of an abandoned cotton factory – two tall spires flanking the long rectangle building with broken windows and swinging doors.
‘Can you recognize the one?’ asks Thor as they hide out a mile out from the nest, the boy’s small hands cradling his wolf wrist as his mouth sucks desperately at the vein, drinking in, drinking deep – the blood of his monster saviour sliding through his dead man veins.
The boy licks at his red mouth afterwards, cleaning off his milk fangs with a pointed snake tongue, and arranges his tattered cossack around his frame like the last vestiges of his faith. ‘I will absolve all of them, and drink from only one. Will you help me?’
Thor shrugs. ‘You’ll need to prepare first.’
‘I have my Lord,’ the boy says, careful to avoid naming the son of God in case his throat splits again. He can’t afford weakness this close to his target.
‘You’ll die just as they die, then.’
‘Why does the Lord not affect you?’ shoots the boy. ‘You’re a monster like the rest of them. Wolf man.’
‘I’m not born from your sins,’ says Thor simply. ‘I’m blessed by man.’
The boy frowns and sheds his clothes, preparing his bed of earth. Thor watches his twelve apostle ribs and laughs at the thirteenth between his legs, the way it is bone white like the rest of him but springs upwards after each feeding.
He is ignored. The sickle moon – so weak after blessing Thor with its gluttonous power, slides downwards. Thor smells deep of the earth and blood and the boy’s scentless sin dusting the ground as he slides into his makeshift coffin – preparing to rise in only a few hours, just like his Lord and Saviour.
The boy has carved twelve stakes by the third night, and Thor tosses a thirteenth one in the pile – shaped by wolf claws with a smoothed handle for easy gripping. It makes the boy’s jaw clench and his envy eyes glare upwards at the man.
‘I do not need thirteen. It is not a holy number.’
‘There’s only seven of them,’ reminds Thor. ‘You don’t need twelve either.’
‘I don’t accept charity from monsters.’
‘You accept their blood.’
The boy is furious – every part of him standing on end to launch himself and sink his ten claws into Thor’s skin and lap up the blood that pools underneath his killing grip. Thor laughs and shrugs. ‘Have it your way then. I’ll keep the thirteenth for myself.’
He carves the symbols for Iscariot in the handle that day.
A week later and the boy announces he is prepared to launch his attack. They walk back to the cotton factory with its two spires flanking the gaping, open door maw of Hell. There are only three of them inside – the other four out hunting.
Thor knocks over one with ease and picks one of the four stakes the boy has given him from his belt before impaling the creature through the chest. They’re beautiful like the boy – all bone skin or honey skin or dirt skin, sunlight hair or tree bark hair or plague hair, envy eyes or storm eyes or cliff rock eyes. Thor kills it.
The boy has his victim on its back, flailing its beautiful hands at the boy, hissing and slashing, and the boy is muttering prayers under his breath, bleeding from his mouth, as he slams the stake through a chest, coughing out parts of his esophagus onto the dead monster.
The third rushes behind the boy, and Thor snaps its neck before it can even reach a claw forward. The boy blesses this one after he impales it as well. Finally, he limps to the third and almost pukes his tongue after his last prayer is said.
Thor carries the boy back out into the fields, crossing the mile as the boy suckles on the vein in Thor’s arm like a small child, drinking deep, lashes long and closed over envy eyes as his monster body knits itself back together. Mother Mary and her Son.
The four other creatures are present two nights later when they return.
There are five stakes left and one of them is the sinner man’s. Thor leaves it in the boy’s pouch for him to use. He finds it ironic.
The boy is worse for wear after absolving the four of their sins against man and God and heaven. He calls them Lilith’s sad, sad children and leaves bloodstained kisses on their foreheads, and wishes for communion biscuits to leave over their eyes.
Thor has half a mind to call him out on his mixture of manmade mythos, but it is pushed aside when the boy weeps long and loud, blood tears down his cherub cheeks, leaving scarlet on bone skin.
‘The monster isn’t here,’ wails the boy. ‘He isn’t here!’
He yells and screams as Thor carries him away from the factory, leaving seven blessed bodies to turn into ash once the light of the Lord slides through the broken windows of the factory onto their corpses, fractured squares cutting jagged lines over their pretty pretty ochre sunlight cliff rock honey tar storm ocean hair skin eyes mouths –
They keep travelling.
Five stakes are left, and Judas Iscariot, pagan-blessed wood carved with wolf claws – all the wrong sinner man things – hangs underneath the boy’s tattered robes, destined for one chest only.
The first one they find says, ‘to the south east’ before Thor knocks him to the ground and the boy sinks the tip of the wooden stake through the chest cavity, fitting neatly between the ribcage, spreading blood on either side of the hole – creating a makeshift cross on the creature’s torso.
The boy only loses half of the inside of his cheek as a bloody lump on the ground after his prayer. Thor lets him drink deep from his neck – that intimate space between collar bone and jaw line where he can feel the boy lick at his skin to catch those drips that escape his dead man mouth.
He’s repaired in an hour and they keep walking. Thor’s sickle moon master swells as the days pass.
The second gives them a name of a town.
‘You always get hard,’ laughs Thor against the boy’s hair when the boy’s hips shift against the wolf’s stomach. The boy wrenches his mouth away from Thor’s collarbone and scowls.
‘Don’t touch me,’ he snarls, once, final, bone fangs glinting red in the sickle moon’s light. Thor shrugs, leaves his wolf claws to gouge lines in the earth, gathering dirt as the boy drinks and rubs and drinks and shivers and drinks and –
The boy’s vows of celibacy are written in the scattered robes on the forest floor, his naked back arched forward, twelve apostle ribs jutting underneath his bone skin, but Thor doesn’t touch, doesn’t mar or creep or feel cold sinner man skin.
The drink is done and the boy satisfied. His cock juts out, as usual, after every feeding, but he ignores it and lays into the dirt for another day’s rest.
The third gives them a building.
The boy sits in Thor’s lap, back against the wolf chest, and brings the wolf’s elbow to his mouth to stab his fangs just as easily as he slammed the stake through the creature’s chest.
This time, when he drinks deep and finishes with a slick sound of satisfaction, he slumbers lightly against Thor’s chest, his small chest drawing deep, deep breaths – the movement shifts every part of his frame: nose flaring, mouth parting, rib cage working, muscles twitching.
When the boy wakes, he is still hard, but there is intensity to his envy eyes that Thor catches and traps – certitude in the long spine of the boy, the line of his shoulders, the purse of a red-stained petal mouth between cherub cheeks that have been ghosted over with the paint brush of monstrosity.
‘Wash my feet,’ says the boy.
Thor curls his hand around the boy’s cock, has him arch and gasp, and works it gently between his grip. Slides it from root to tip and back again. Pearls of precome – scarlet like the boy’s tears – dyes the tips of Thor’s fingers as strokes him, has the boy shutting his eyes and hissing, fucking into the fist around him.
He comes with a strangled noise, as if the breath has been punched out of him, spilling blood over Thor’s claws, and sags against Thor’s chest, falling asleep.
Thor lies the boy into earth and covers his plague hair with dirt, dissolving him entirely into the ground, and leaves his robes and two remaining stakes beside the mound – one plain, the other blackened by man’s name. The Iscariot stake is smudged by dried blood and mud – leaving one to wonder what name is supposed to be written there. It makes Thor laugh long and loud.
The boy’s maker is drinking from a child in warehouse when they arrive.
Everything goes wrong.
‘Hello,’ says the creature, beautiful, perfect, entrancing. Practiced in its own monstrosity. ‘I know you. You’re L – ’
‘Don’t say my name,’ says the boy sharply. He slides out the two stakes and charges, Thor at his side, flushed with his sickle moon master’s fat belly – not quite full. Soon, soon.
The struggle begins. The creature tosses the child’s broken body away and meets the boy’s sprint. Though Thor thrashes out to snap the creature’s neck, he is thrown back. The creature ignores the boy altogether after that and fights Thor down, slamming him against the walls and crates of the warehouse until Thor drops unconscious.
He is sure he only wakes a minute later to see the boy’s back arched, a stake shoved through his chest.
The creature also has a stake through its chest, but it is the Iscariot that kills the boy.
Thor watches as they both crumple and breathes in the silence – the fractured light of his sickle moon master casting long lines over their bodies.
Coolly, he blesses the dead creature and lets it lie in its own bleeding filth. The boy, however, is carried out into the earth. Surreptitiously, Thor opens the cold eye lids and sees green eyes instead of envy eyes. The hair is black, the mouth is pink, the teeth flat and dull. The skin pale. The boy dead.
He buries the boy in the earth and sits and waits – tossing the blood-stained Iscariot stake in his hand and laughs and laughs and laughs.
Three days later, the sickle moon is fat and full and Thor goes running. His master is plentiful and generous – pressing ecstasy into his veins until he is ready to burst, ready to ascend mortality, heaven under his feet, enlightenment at his fingertips.
The wolf runs and screams and kills and hunts and rules the forest with the confidence of immortality at its roots.
The wolf reaches a boy in the woods.
The wolf traps a boy against a tree with a claw around its neck.
The wolf snarls and spits and prepares to rip apart a boy’s arms from a boy’s torso and lick its blood up and gorge on its flesh.
A boy bites at the claw, and smiles, and yells Mother Mary’s name into the air, and there is no blood in his mouth as the wolf curls in on itself in familiarity.
‘My name is Thor,’ says Thor, lying on his back against the wet forest earth, the humid air pressing down on his tongue, making it heavy as he watches his master light the sky.
His chest is heavy as the boy sits on it, holding the stake stained with mud, dirt, Iscariot, blood, and, soon, wolf. The boy balances the tip at Thor’s jugular and looks down at him.
‘Third time is the charm,’ says Thor, and he thinks he’s mixing up his mythos, but the boy smiles.
‘My name is Loki,’ says the boy, ‘and I’m going to kill you. But not today.’
And Loki stands up, the stake retreating, his steps sure and loud as he walks out the forest without even a glance back, and the weight on Thor’s chest is dispelled entirely. The first unhindered breath Thor takes feels sweet and he imagines it is the taste of salvation.

Meet and greet at Agadir seaport then begin the tour of this amazing city. Agadir is located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and at foot of the Atlas Mountains. Agadir is a very modern city and one of the largest seaside resort in Africa. The city is well-known for its unusually mild year-round climate and it is one of the best places in the world for the snowbirds. The city tour of Agadir includes a stop at the hilltop ruins of the old Kasbah (also know as Agadir Oufella). The site has an exceptional view over the whole city. After the visit of the Kasbah, stop at the largest sardine fishing fleet in the world, located in the port of Agadir where traders haggle for fresh fish in the daily auctions, and marvel at the traditional craftsmanship used to build wooden fishing boats for hundreds of years. We will continue our tour to city centre to visit The Birds Valley. The valley is a small zoo with diffrent kinds of birds and and other animals. Complete the tour of Agadir with the visit of Souk El Had. The literary translation of Souk El Had is Sunday Market.

Day 2: Agadir – Taroudant
After breakfast, transfer to Taroudant, a charming old town known as the “Grandmother of Marrakech”. Taroudant looks like Marrakech but smaller than it. Unlike Marrakech, almost the entire city of Taroudant is surrounded with ramparts. In the 11th century, Taroudant was occupied by the Almoravid Dynasty. In the 16th century, the Saadian Dynasty used it as a capital of Morocco for a short period of time before they moved onwards to Marrakech. The city is known today for its local crafts, including jewellery and carpets. Overnight in Taroudant.
Day 3: Taroudant – Agadir Port
After breakfast, we will assist you to your cruising ship.

Health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize has announced that South Africa has officially been hit by a ‘second wave’ of coronavirus infections – and that an increase in cases is no longer confined to select ‘hotspot’ areas.
In a media briefing on Wednesday evening (9 December), Mkhize said that four provinces are the key drivers of this new wave:
- The Eastern Cape;
- The Western Cape;
- KwaZulu-Natal; and
“Up to the last week, the increase was mainly in Eastern Cape and the Western Cape in specific districts. But now we have numbers that indicate we are in a second wave,” Mkhize said.
“We look at the number of tests done, the positivity rate, the number of positive cases, the numbers of people who are admitted, and the number of fatalities.”
The Health minister added that South Africa has also breached the 6,000 mark in daily infections, with 6,709 cases reported in the country over the last 24 hours.
Mkhize said that the age distribution of infections has also shown a different pattern form the norm. The age group 15-19 years showed the highest number of cases over the past two days.
We are now is a second wave. Four provinces are the key drivers of this new wave. They are EC, WC, KZN & Gauteng. #MediaBriefingCOVID19SA
— Dr Zweli Mkhize (@DrZweliMkhize) December 9, 2020
Mkhize said that ‘pressure’ due to increased coronavirus cases has built up in a number of provinces, and after provincial visits this week, his department plans to submit reports to president Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet.
“We now need to understand we have a responsibility to enjoy the festive season with restraint,” he said.
In a national address last week, Ramaphosa identified three areas in South Africa that were of particular concern for a sharp rise in the number of new infections:
- Nelson Mandela Bay (EC);
- The Garden Route (WC); and
- Sarah Baartman District (EC).
Of the three areas mentioned, only one was officially declared a hotspot region, with further restrictions put into place to curb the spread of the virus. However, each region has its own warnings in place to identify problem areas on a more granular level.
While Ramaphosa said that these areas could still face localised lockdown restrictions, it is not clear if the emergence of a second coronavirus wave will see the introduction of a higher lockdown level nationally.
Mkhize said that ‘clarity on further restrictions’ will be made after meetings with Ramaphosa and cabinet.

548 Palisades Dr., Palisades Highlands
Diners who loved Mimi’s food when she was on 26th Street opposite the Brentwood Country Mart are thrilled that she has returned from retirement and opened Chez Mimi in Pacific Palisades.
The restaurant is in the Highlands Plaza (on Palisades Drive, just north of Sunset), and has a charming interior dining room with a cozy fireplace and a mirrored wall reflecting the soft lighting and table flowers. The neutral beige background color adds to the calm atmosphere, which happily is quiet enough for conversation.
In addition, there is a large, comfortable patio that is perfect when the weather is warmer. In fact, when Mimi first opened last fall, I sat on the patio, and it was delightful.
This time, my daughter-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken-liver house pâté spread on crisp thin crostini. The slightly tart cornichon pickles made a perfect accent. Salmon mousse served with velvety crème fraîche, fragrant with dill, was equally tempting.
Next we tried three small bowls of the homemade soups: tomato bisque fragrant with basil; a superb vegan carrot soup with cilantro, ginger and cumin; and a vichyssoise or chilled leek potato soup. Each of them reflected Mimi’s expertise.
In addition to the 18 entrées listed, the low-calorie menu features a grilled whitefish and chicken breast with steamed vegetable ($18.50). However, we went with the leg of lamb with Herbes de Provence ($29.50), and the bouillabaisse ($32.50). The perfectly cooked tender lamb with flavorful herbs was excellent, as were the accompanying mashed potatoes with French green beans. The rich fish-stock bouillabaisse was as perfect as you would expect from Mimi. In the stock was lobster tail, large shrimp, clams and fish, all accented with the fiery-flavored rouille paste. Toast is an important element with bouillabaisse to sop up the rich stock. You don’t want to leave a drop.
Other entrées here include roasted chicken with lemon and rosemary served with a corn soufflé ($18.50); fresh trout with almonds ($19); meat loaf with a tomato-basil sauce, mashed potatoes and carrots ($17.50); breast of duck with black-cherry sauce and wild rice ($28.50); various steaks in the $30 to $36 price range and fresh fish of the day priced from $21.50 to $32.50. There are also frogs’ legs sautéed in butter and garlic ($24.50). In other words, there is something for every appetite.
Desserts are rich and delicious, such as the excellent lemon pie ($9), rich flourless chocolate cake with ice cream ($10/$11), crème brûlée ($8) and even simple fresh berries ($8). A traditional crêpes Suzette is $10.
The restaurant is closed on Monday, but open for lunch Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 am to 2:30 p.m. Dinner service starts at 5:30 p.m. daily (except Monday). On Saturday and Sunday, breakfast is served from 9 a.m to 11:30 a.m., when the lunch menu starts. Parking is free.

2) Heat the glass to a temperature that completely rounds the edges of the small sample pieces.
3) After the glass cools, place a polarizing filter under the glass and another filter over the glass. Look at the glass with light shining through it (hold it over a lamp). Turn one of the filters until the filters are at their darkest. (Polarizing sheets are available from Edmund Scientific and photo supply stores.)
RESULTS OF THE TEST
If you see a halo around the edges of the small glass samples, this usually means the glass is not compatible. If you see no halo, the glass is fusing compatible.
Why did we include a sample square cut from the base transparent glass? It tests for annealing. A halo around that piece means the glass was not annealed properly. Perform the test again, this time cooling more slowly through the annealing range.

Following the New Hampshire district court summary judgement against blockchain publishing network LBRY and the pending case against Ripple, the crypto community is concerned that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to kill crypto and is acting with malice.
In its most recent filing, the SEC said that “a penalty equal to LBRY’s total pecuniary gain of $22,151,971 is fair and reasonable under the circumstances.”
XRP community lawyer Jeremy Hogan noted that the SEC wants an injunction against future sales on LBRY. Hogan further explained that the agency “argues the court can’t rule on future sales by Amici because they are too speculative. I think the judge is realizing about now that this was never about protecting anyone.”
Defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor James K. Filan said: “The SEC doesn’t want to regulate crypto; it wants to kill it in the United States.”
Another XRP community lawyer, Bill Morgan, said the court’s ruling was an avoidable defeat and that the “judge has made a rod for his own back.”
Morgan noted that the judge summarily classified any sale of LBC over a period of six years as an investment contract without considering the type of transaction. The attorney further argued that the ruling will make it hard for the judge not to rule future sales as not investment contracts.
“Given he did not want to rule on whether future sales by LBRY should be required to be registered because the present record did not explain why future sales should be treated differently, how can he rule future sales be injuncted on the same record,” Morgan said.
Another lawyer, John Deaton, who filed an amicus brief in the LBRY case, criticized the SEC for claiming that the LBC token is a security.
“LBC is a digital asset. Like any asset or commodity, it can be packaged and sold in an unregistered securities offering. This is why Nick Morgan for ICAN and myself for Naomi Brockwell filed the Amicus Briefs. We must fight this narrative at every stage,” he said.

Report: MA 3rd Worst in Country for Police Training
Thursday, February 14, 2013
The Cambridge-based group recently published a national study on the presence of police in the lives of youth, and the training provided to officers on how to properly deal with youth offenders. Lisa Thurau, Executive Director at Strategies for Youth, said that the state’s legislative commission has admitted there is a lack of funding.
“Police officers are not getting a lot of support to learn how to work with youth, and don’t know alternatives to arrest. They need that support,” she said. “We know that police are gatekeepers. They determine which gate or door that child will pass through. The more they know about alternatives to arrest, the better the outcome.”
Thurau said that mental health, race, gender, and geographic issues all lead to youth being unfairly treated by officers, something that a city like Worcester surely sees a lot of.
“Police are not given this information and are not told juvenile law. Often there is no service training except for departments that are wealthy, so this issue is especially harsh in cities where departments don’t have money to provide extra training,” she said.
Rose Pavlov, founder and president of Ivy Child International agreed that the current situation needs a fix, "The need for competent youth officials in law enforcement is absolutely critical to aid in reducing the rise of youth crimes. The current trend that does not provide an educational arena for police officials to develop the essential skills towards appropriate interactions with juveniles is detrimental."
Ivy Child focuses on alternative solutions for children with behavioral issues and a goal-oriented outlook.
According to numbers provided by the state’s Special Commission on Massachusetts Police Training, Massachusetts allocated $187 per officer, the lowest in the country in 2010, and Thurau said that the Bay State remains near the bottom in per capita training funding.
“Being arrested and going into juvenile detention is a very traumatic experience for youth,” she said. “If you see youth going there, the general thought is that the court system has a lot of options, and that’s just not true anymore.”
“In reality, there are not a lot a lot of programs and not a lot for the judge to choose from. It is shameful that you have to arrest a child to get that help, something true in urban areas of Massachusetts and the rest of the country.”
The report published by Strategies for Youth says that out of the full training program for Mass. police officers, Juvenile Justice training hours as percentage of total required academy hours only make up 1 percent – 8 hours out of a total 800.
"The expansive utilization of law enforcement to address school disciplinary measures, school arrests, and lock up facilities for detention of sorts, marginalize the nation’s most at-risk youth," said Pavlov. "The result yields as limiting or all together ceasing their access to education. This trend which impedes a child’s right to education leads them down a path of failure, isolation and traumas."
The study points out, however, that while officers do not receive proper training, detention officers and the Mass. Bay Transit Authority’s Police Department received good marks.
According to the report, the state’s juvenile detention officers are required to be trained to understand adolescent behavior, the troubled teen, juvenile versus adult inmates, communication with youth detainees, and mentor roles for officers.
The MBTA’s deparment was listed under the study’s list of “Model Programs That Get Good Grades.”
“The MBTA Transit Police operate a recruit training academy, one of 7 regional academies overseen by the Municipal Police Training Council in Massachusetts,” the report reads. “Since 2011, the MBTA academy has provided officers with 8 to 12 hours of training on the teen brain and recognizing and appropriately responding to youth with mental health issues. It has also given them an opportunity to observe teens’ responses.”
Thurau said that overall, “Massachusetts is overall kinder and gentler than other states,” but that recent measures captured in the media are proving otherwise.
“Increasingly we’re seeing normal behavior in public schools leading to police officers. What other resources are they being given besides arrest?” she said.
"The likelihood of children being arrested at school than they were a generation ago has rapidly increased. These arrests are predominantly for non-violent offenses such as 'disruptive conduct' or 'disturbance of the peace,'" Pavlov said. "Increasing numbers of school districts employ designated 'school resource officers,' or police officers to patrol middle and high school hallways. With often limited experience working with youth, these officers approach youth circumstances and offending through the lens of an adult world, rather than a child’s world at school."
One organization working to turn this problem around is Straight Up Café, a restaurant and community center operated by Straight Ahead Ministries, located on Main Street in Worcester. The group specializes in aftercare and youth care, and serves as a work-placement program for youth. Like Strategies for Youth, their goal is to educate and reduce the amount of recidivism.
“There was a federal study done that looked at the cost in real dollars when one youth drops out of school at 16 and enters a life of crime,” said Scott Larson, president of Straight Ahead Ministries. “It costs between 1.7 – 2.1 million dollars in lost taxes, incarceration… It really becomes a fiscal issue when you think about.”
Larson said that sending a child to Harvard is cheaper, adding that on the larger scale the US has 32 percent of the world’s inmates.
“A lot of states – Texas for example – has to release adults to balance their budget each year,” he said. “There are a lot of fiscal reasons behind it. While it’s always hard to get investment in these kinds of things, when you look long term, it’s expensive not to. But unfortunately, it’s often easier to raise money for a jail than these programs.”
Larson said that he agrees that police are an integral part of the equation, and said that Worcester’s Safe and Secure Initiative with the state has been a step in the right direction in making sure they are a key partner.
“That’s one of the good things that’s come out of these funding cuts everywhere,” he said. “It forces agencies to work together. That’s really helped.”
Alternatives to Arrest
The report highlights three key points that all police recruits should be taught in order to combat this issue: understand how developmental capacities of children and teenagers differ from those of adults with different approaches; communication and behavioral skills that are most effective for working with youth to reduce violence; and to recognize triggers and key indicators of trauma, exposure to violence, and other mental health issues.
“Better outcomes can be talking to them, and developing relationships where child is held accountable. Police need to understand that adult approaches to kids often backfire, and that’s the behavior you don’t want,” Thurau said.
She said that police need to understand how to better deal with youth and use fair behavior. She gave an example of a child that may be acting out with no place to go after school, and no guardian supervision.
“Every police officer in Massachusetts should have strong community relationships with organizations to get them into basketball programs, art programs... That’s what we want to do with most of our kids.”
Thurau said that because different locations around the state have different funding for their local academies, poorer areas are often the places that feel the worst effects of this lack of training.
“That makes it super unfair because then children are being treated differently based on where they live,” she said, citing the example of Cambridge, where Strategies for Youth is located. “Thanks to all the tech. companies, they have a fat tax base and can afford those training programs, but not Taunton, not Fall River…. They deserve it just as much.”
She added that on top of this economic disparity, youth are also often discriminated against for other reasons.
“We want to make sure that officers have alternatives to arrest because a lot of youth behavior is normalized,” Thurau said. “We know that kids behaving the same way are treated differently depending on race, gender, and context in which they live. Police need to be on guard about that.”
Pavlov agreed, saying, " Minority students are the populations largely impacted by this. Sanctions intended for adults penalize severe regulations on juveniles without taking into account individual and family nuances."
Worcester will recall the case of David Russo, a then 14-year-old resident of the Hammond Heights neighborhood who was unnecessarily questioned for suspicious behavior after a series of break-ins and was eventually arrested after an incident with police. Russo’s story came shortly after that of Trayvon Martin.
“Over the past decade, police have become a ubiquitous presence in the lives of many youths, particularly those living in disadvantaged communities,” the study reads. “They are now routinely deployed in public schools. As social and mental health services have been scaled back, police are frequently the first responders in domestic disputes involving juveniles.”
Russo, who suffers from a brain injury sustained at birth and multiple learning disabilities, was questioned whether he belonged in the neighborhood and was told by police to carry an I.D. His mother, Claudia Russo, discussed her son’s response to police action:
“(Police officers) realized they had made a mistake about five minutes after they arrested him. At that point they should have stopped everything,” said Claudia in an article with GoLocal during the time of the incident. “Unfortunately they acted like police officers – like they don’t make mistakes. They should be able to sit there and think about a situation, in the future. When I went to the station, nothing. I called the chief, nothing. There was no response whatsoever.”
"Most juveniles in this case have a range of special needs and circumstances from developmental and learning disabilities to at-risk backgrounds involving abuse, neglect, or poverty," Pavlov said. "Many of these children would benefit from support services such as counseling, access to community resources and interventions if provided in a timely capacity. Unfortunately, through law enforcement misapplied tactics of adults with youth are usually just the initial steps in this process beginning with the criminalization of minor transgressions often times of school discipline policies."

A new method of cancer treatment uses batteries to remove the oxygen from tumors.
Batteries have many functions in our daily lives that are too important to be ignored. Nobody likes leaving the house without a phone charged at least 50 percent (though some like to live on the edge). And replacing the nine-volt in a smoke detector keeps it from making that pesky chirp every 30 seconds, so it’s always good to have a pack on hand. But a recent study tells us that batteries might have an even bigger life-saving function. According to Science News, batteries can be used in cancer treatment by reducing the amount of oxygen in tumors.
Though only in the preliminary stages, scientists have found a new way to combat cancer in mice by attaching a small self-charging zinc battery to solid, hypoxic tumors, which is the kind that we commonly see in breast cancer patients. Hypoxia is a common condition found in tumors involving reduced oxygen levels.
That means radiotherapy treatments and traditional chemotherapies can’t attack the tumor because there isn’t enough oxygen for proper blood flow to the cancerous region. However, researchers have found that hypoxic tumors can also provide a “target” for treatment of tumors through different methods.
In other words, hypoxia isn’t all bad, and through the use of hypoxia-activated prodrugs, or chemotherapeutic drugs that become activated in low-oxygen environments, tumors can be reduced significantly in size. And how do we remove the oxygen? By attaching a battery to the cancer, of course.
Researchers found that by attaching tiny, flexible batteries to tumors, they suck out the oxygen, allowing the cancer-killing hypoxia-activated prodrugs to do their work. And the results are astonishing. In just two weeks, the battery treatment alone was seen to reduce the size of tumors in mice by 26 percent.
What’s more, after the batteries work their magic, the hypoxia-activated prodrugs can be introduced to treat the cancer. The average tumor in this study shrank by 90 percent. Fan Zhang, who studies biomedical materials stated that the study looks promising, but is still only in its preliminary phases.
As of now, the study has only been conducted on mice with breast cancer, and the type of breast cancer in question is specific to mice.
Using batteries to suck the oxygen out of a tumor has a lot of potential in specific types of cancer treatment, but other studies have to be conducted before we know for sure. Zhang elaborated, stating, “It has to be tested in several breast cancer models, and also has to be tested in other cancer models. And, of course, in humans.”
Zhang and his colleagues are already hard at work figuring out how to make the batteries more flexible and powerful for cancer treatment in humans. But there’s still a long way to go. And a lot of research still has to be conducted on mice before scientists can start doing clinical trials on people.
One primary concern in this method of treatment is that although the battery helps greatly in reducing cancer in its test subjects, especially when compounded by hypoxia-activated prodrugs, there’s still 10 percent unaccounted for. But Zhang is hopeful that when combined with other cancer treatments that have proven to be successful in the past, it’s quite possible that this new innovation can stop cancer dead in its tracks if applied properly.

Walmart opens $36 million center in southern Mexico
Continuing its strategic focus on the flourishing Mexico and Central America markets, Walmart has announced another investment to its logistics network through Mexico. The company will invest $36 million distribution center in Yucatán.
“This new business unit will positively impact the state’s production infrastructure, since it will not only generate more than 500 direct and 250 indirect jobs, but it will also expand its supply network to the states of Campeche and Quintana Roo. This will reach more places in less time, which will eventually boost the investment made and attract more local suppliers,” Walmart’s executives stated, according to The Yucatán Times.

The annual incidence of traumatic brain injury in Europe amounts to 235 per 100 000 persons. About two-thirds will develop posttraumatic brain injury chronic fatigue (pTBI-CF).
To identify the reversible hormonal and nonhormonal causes of pTBI-CF.
Ninety patients with varying degrees of pTBI-CF underwent endocrine testing and an evaluation of sleep, attention, coping style, daily activity and dependency, physical performance, emotional well-being, and quality of life.
Vitamin D deficiency was found in 65%, poor sleep quality in 54%, anxiety disorders in 36%, growth hormone deficiency in 16%, and gonadal hormone deficiencies in 9%. Fatigue severity was correlated with poor sleep (R = +0.65, P < .0001), serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels (R = −0.50, P < .0001), and anxiety (R = +0.50, P < .0001) but not with growth hormone deficiency or gonadal hormone deficiencies. The first 3 factors together explained 59% of the fatigue score variance.
Poor sleep, vitamin D deficiency, and anxiety were the most important factors associated with pTBI-CF. Appropriate treatment of these disorders may help to reduce fatigue in these patients.

Having the ability to decorate and design the home the way you want to is not something that everyone is capable of doing. When you find yourself in the position to do this, you will certainly want to make the most of it. Here, you will find some great tips that will guide you through designing your home’s interior.
Choosing a good color scheme will get your design project on the right track. Learn what colors work together and which ones clash so that your room can appear tasteful and balanced. Remember, too much variety in bold colors can have a negative impact.
The ideal office space should be designed with fashion and function in mind. Comfortable furnishings such as chairs, tables and desks are important, as well as adequate lighting. To make a place that you want to spend time in while working, implement some design choices that have visual appeal.
It’s great to listen to what experts say about designing, but don’t copy everything they do. You need to listen to your own instinct as to what you will enjoy, as this is your home, not theirs.
Replacing your kitchen cabinets can be a cost effective and easy way to drastically change the look of your kitchen. Wood can be replaced by glass for a more modern, airy feel to the room. They also allow you to use decorative pieces behind the glass to add visual interest.
Keep your plans realistic if you are thinking about redecorating. You want your decor to reflect your personality, but try to stay away from anything too outlandish or bizarre. If you decide to put your home on the market in the future, awkward decor can turn potential home buyers away. By making sure overly personal touches are easily replaceable, you can preserve your home’s resale value.
One trick that you can use if you are decorating a house that is not large is to include a lot of mirrors. Mirrors easily enhance the feeling of spaciousness, and allow you to create a smarter look to the room. Make sure that you purchase a quality mirror, as you may have this for a long time.
Do not neglect to think about the traffic your room gets when placing furniture. You must leave sufficient space for people to navigate around the furniture with ease. You don’t want to have traffic jams when you’re trying to enjoy your work.
Area rugs are good additions in any type of room. This rug should fit your area snugly, so that it does not take away from the appearance of the room. If it is a larger room, you need to ensure your rug is big enough to fill space. On the contrary, tiny rooms should have tiny rugs, as you don’t want it to be the size of the room.
If you have a lot of possessions, do not overdecorate your walls. Some people have more items than others. If you have a lot of valuables that you will not put in storage, do not put anything on your walls. Having anything else up can make the rooms look cluttered.
Plan your design project before getting started. First, you need to think about how much space you have. To get around this issue, try using pieces that scale well with the room you are decorating. If you put lighting in these spots, you will make your room seem like it is larger.
Have children? In that case a slipcover is a great idea. Slip covers can offer a variety of furniture looks while protecting it from children and pets. You can even change the pattern with the seasons to make things more fun.
The information you read above offered some helpful advice and some good tips on knowing how to properly design your home. Armed with the concepts in this piece, you are now prepared to launch your own interior planning journey.

I’ve just made my annual manifestation in the February addition of Writing Magazine. It’s kind of ironic that the yearly claim to fame this time around should concern my lack of it.
Lorraine Mace, my writing buddy and co-author of The Writer’s ABC Checklist, writes a fab humour column for WM, Notes from the Margin. This month it’s all about writers who’ve been on the receiving end of put-downs from their peers – which is where I came in.
The good news is, if you’re a writer and have a funny, cruel or daft put-down story, Lorraine asks that you email it to her. Her favourites will make an appearance in a future Notes from the Margin column and the author of the best one will receive a copy of The Writer’s ABC Checklist.
Being a loser isn’t all bad!

Counter-terror detectives will continue searching for clues about how an armed attacker brought death and destruction to the streets of London, killing a police officer, three members of the public, and injuring dozens more.
Police last night named 48-year-old Pc Keith Palmer as the unarmed police officer killed in Westminster.
The attacker, armed with two large knives, mowed down pedestrians with a car on Westminster Bridge, including schoolchildren, then rushed at the gates in front of the Houses of Parliament, stabbing Mr Palmer before being shot dead by other officers.
Speaking outside Scotland Yard on Wednesday night, acting deputy commissioner Mark Rowley, the Met's senior anti-terror officer, said about 40 people had been injured, several - including two police officers - seriously.
He declined to name the attacker, but said police suspect he was "inspired by international terrorism" - and that they believed they knew who he was.
Paying tribute to Pc Palmer, a member of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Squad who had served the police for 15 years, Mr Rowley said: "Today in Westminster we saw tragic events unfold and our thoughts are with those who lost loved ones, those who were injured and all those affected by this attack.
"One of those who died today was a police officer, Pc Keith Palmer, a member of our parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. Keith, aged 48, had 15 years' service and was a husband and father.
"He was someone who left for work today expecting to return home at the end of his shift, and he had every right to expect that would happen."
It came as the Prime Minister vowed to defeat what she called "the forces of evil".
Theresa May, who was in Parliament at the time of the attack, praised the bravery of police officers who killed the attacker as he sought another victim.
She said any attempt to defeat the values that Parliament stood for was "doomed to failure".
Parliament will reopen on Thursday morning and parts of the crime scene will restrict some of the entrances, with emphasis on business returning to normal as quickly as possible.
But the attack has delayed the Queen's planned visit to the new headquarters of the Metropolitan Police.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the decision had been taken to postpone the Queen's engagement in light of the attack.
Stories of heroism and bravery emerged from the incident, which brought central London to a standstill and closed transport networks around the capital shortly after 2.30pm on Wednesday.
Paramedics fought to save Mr Palmer's life, and that of his attacker, on the floor of the cobbled courtyard in front of Parliament, with Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood among those who rushed to help.
Mr Ellwood, who lost his brother in the Bali bombing, could be seen pumping the officer's chest then standing above him, his hands and face smeared with blood.
Armed officers, some in plain clothes and wearing balaclavas, swarmed around the yard just feet from where MPs had earlier attended Prime Minister's Questions.
The knifeman drove a grey Hyundai i40 across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings, then running through the gates of the Palace of Westminster.
His attack left a trail of destruction as paramedics tended to victims on the bridge and at the gate.
One woman hit by the attacker's car before he reached Parliament was confirmed dead by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital. She said others on the bridge suffered "catastrophic injuries".
Another woman who fell into the Thames was rescued and given urgent medical treatment on a nearby pier.
A party of French schoolchildren were among those targeted on the bridge, with three injured.
Donald Trump was among world leaders quick to offer their support.
The White House said the US president spoke to Mrs May in a phone call following the bloody events in London.

In the spring and summer, consumers start getting back on the healthy eating bandwagon, and all of a sudden, cravings for heavy, rich desserts drop off. More orders are put in for refreshing treats at the end of meals, and many of these revolve around fruit, especially as the fresh produce comes back into season. Healthy fruit desserts are the way to go if you need to round out your meal with something sweet but still want to stay conservative with your choices. Check out these 7 examples of naturally sweetened treats and pick one to make for the beginning of a warmer season.
1. Raspberry Vanilla Pudding Parfaits
Up first is a dessert from Taste of Home that is less than 160 calories per serving. These raspberry vanilla pudding parfaits are no doubt sweet, but they won’t put you in a sugar coma and they don’t come with a side of guilt. Layers of vanilla pudding and fresh raspberries make up the dessert, and thanks to an easy short-cut, it only requires 4 ingredients to make. No one needs to know you went the instant vanilla pudding route, as they’ll be too busy digging into their parfaits that are both easy on the eyes and the stomach.
- 2 cups cold 2% milk
- 1 package instant vanilla or French vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
Directions: In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spoon a third of the pudding into six parfait glasses.
Set aside six raspberries for garnish; divide half of the remaining berries over pudding. Repeat layers. Top with remaining pudding and garnish with the reserved berries.

text: This book is based on an eleven-year observation of two children who were simultaneously exposed to three languages from birth. It tells the story of two parents from different cultural, linguistic, and ethnic-racial backgrounds who joined to raise their two children with their heritage languages outside their native countries. It also tells the children’s story and the way they negotiated three cultures and languages and developed a trilingual identity. It sheds light on how parental support contributed to the children’s simultaneous acquisition of three languages in an environment where the main input of the two heritage languages came respectively from the father and from the mother. It addresses the challenges and the unique language developmental characteristics of the two children during their trilingual acquisition process.

Insurance companies are looking at ways to reassure and retain customers, following several complaints about insurance sales at banks.
China's reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to help life insurance business and profitability recover although earnings will remain challenged by unstable global capital markets, says Fitch Ratings.
Ten bank-affiliated life insurance companies realised a total of CNY343.07bn (49.7%) in premium income, a year-on-year increase of 9.7% from CNY312.63bn in 2021, according to an analysis of the insurers' 4Q2022 solvency reports and 2022 annual reports.
Prudential Vietnam has reported the highest profit in 2022 in the insurance industry. Its post-tax profit in 2022 grew 7.7 times compared with the year before, reaching VND3.64tn ($155.3m), according to financial reports filed by insurers.
MSIG Insurance and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) have entered into a 15-year general insurance distribution agreement.
Hang Seng Bank and Chubb have entered into an exclusive 15-year distribution agreement under which Chubb will provide Hang Seng banking customers with a comprehensive range of personal and commercial general insurance products and solutions in Hong Kong.
The professional intermediary channel business including insurance brokerage has become the third largest distribution for life insurance companies in China after the personal agent and bancassurance channels. It is expected to develop at a relatively fast speed in the next few years.
Finance Minister Ho Duc Phoc has ordered the authorities to inspect insurance sales in the wake of complaints that banks are forcing customers to buy life insurance when the latter seek a loan.
Insurance companies in Nigeria can now partner with more than one bank, according to the revised bancassurance guidelines released by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
A corporate agent may now be associated with up to 27 insurers -- that is nine each in the three branches, that is, life, health and general insurance companies.

Italian Coffee Maker for Coffee Lovers
Enjoying a good coffee is a great pleasure. Especially when there are different ways to prepare it in order to enhance its flavor, as is the case with the Italian coffee maker. This appliance was created by Alfonso Bialetti and Luigi di Ponte in 1933. Although decades have passed since its invention and nowadays, there are many more modern machines, this coffee maker is still very popular.
Its welcome reception and popularity led to it being manufactured in different sizes. So if you have a large family, you’ll be able to find one with enough capacity to offer a good cup of coffee to everyone. If you live alone, you can enjoy a mini version of the Italian coffee maker in which between one and two cups can be prepared.
Parts of the Italian coffee maker
The Italian coffee maker is very simple to operate. However, before talking about it, it’s important that you know its different parts. From bottom to top you’ll find the following pieces:
- Boiler or lower tank.
- Gasket or packaging.
- Upper tank for coffee.
- Handle to hold the coffee maker.
How to use it?
To use your Italian coffee maker you have two options regarding the coffee input. The first is to buy coffee already ground or whole beans– it’s your personal choice. Pour enough water into the appliance to make the number of cups of coffee you need, in the upper coffee tank. Check the sign that indicates the water limit.
Now you’re going to put the coffee in the filter. Add the right quantity according to the number of cups you’re going to serve and how strong you want it to be. Finish assembling your coffee maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and place it tightly closed directly over medium heat.
Let the water boil and the coffee rise through the bubbling that occurs. Turn off the stove, remove the coffee maker, serve and enjoy. Be careful not to burn yourself, because the liquid will be very hot!
How to clean your Italian coffee maker?
Cleaning your Italian coffee maker, like its use, is very simple, but essential. A lack of washing will cause bacteria and microorganisms to accumulate. These can alter the taste of the coffee and can affect your health. Equally, it’s necessary that you eliminate all coffee residue to avoid bad odors.
General cleaning should be done each time you use it, while every three months is enough to disassemble the coffee maker and clean it piece by piece. For this job, you can buy thin and easy-to-handle brushes to remove the most stubborn and hard-to-reach residue.
Follow these simple steps for a deep clean:
- Never wash your Italian coffee maker when it’s hot.
- Take the item apart and place each part on a tray so the pieces won’t get lost.
- Focus on the filter by removing any remaining coffee that’s stuck to it.
- Take a soft brush to wash the gasket. When it becomes worn, buy another to avoid coffee spills.
- For the other pieces, (excluding the filter and gasket) make sure you wash them with a little baking soda. This will also help to remove external coffee or grease stains.
Descaling your Italian coffee maker
Considering that your coffee maker works with water, it’s very likely that traces of minerals and lime will accumulate inside the appliance. For this reason, it must be decalcified every so often to guarantee its optimal operation. The cleaning schedule will be established by the manufacturer of the brand you’ve purchased.
This process can be completed with the help of a little lemon and vinegar. Make the mixture, fill the lower tank and the upper tank, and apply a couple of drops to the water. Let this liquid sit and do its thing for about three to four hours.
Finally, empty the liquid and let your Italian coffee maker dry thoroughly before using it again.
Become a collector
Although the focus of this article is the Italian coffee maker, if you’re a true coffee lover you’ll definitely own more than one maker. There are some manual and some automatic appliances and some work with electricity and others are more traditional.
Among the options you have is the French press coffee maker. If you like this idea, remember that you must have the implements to improve the experience. These include a grinder for coffee beans, the right mixers, and cups.It might interest you...

This item sold on December 5, 2010.
The songs on the front of the record are:
1. Magical Mystery Tour
2. The Fool On The Hill
4. Blue Jay Way
5. Your Mother Should Know
6. I Am The Walrus
The records I use in my clocks have been carefully selected for quality but they have been loved and played so expect there a little wear on the vinyl. I feel that it gives the records character and a great vintage look. The records have not been permanently damaged while mounting the movement and could still be spun for a listen on a turntable if desired.
The clocks require a single AA battery to operate. The movement has a hole in the back for easy hanging on the wall using a small nail.
Thank you very much for looking in my shop and please come back often.

The savings scheme is one of the basic needs which requires you to think of saving the money from your earnings. A savings scheme is the same as holding an account in a bank where you can save all your money on it. The use of this is to provide security to the money and even give interest rates depending upon how much you are putting the money when it comes to saving schemes for senior citizens. So, there are many savings scheme which is offered by the government, banks, and financial companies for people to plan on their finance. Below are the best savings options for senior citizens.
National Savings Certificate
The national savings certificate is the fixed income savings plan where you can open with any post office in India. This plan was initiated by the government of India and will encourage those who fail under or mid-income categories to invest while saving on income tax. National Savings Certificate is primarily used by people for small to medium investments and for tax savings purposes.
Senior Citizen Savings Scheme
This plan will offer its investor safety, regular income, and a good method for tax savings investment plan. During the time of retirement, Individuals are very hesitant to invest money in equities since they prove to be risky. So, this kind of scheme comes with an extended maturity period which doesn’t offer income regularly. Also, this scheme is available in post offices and certified banks across India. This plan is ideal for saving schemes for senior citizens.
This scheme is offered by banks and the plan can be used for people who can regularly deposit money and wants a huge return at the time of maturity. So, Individuals can choose the term period and also the amount of a number of monthly deposits which they make according to their convenience.
Public Provident Fund
The national Savings Institute was introduced by the Public Provident fund in the year 1968. As per the government-backed savings scheme, it is the safest and most popular savings option in India. The contribution made towards the PPF account is applicable for tax deduction under section 80C of the Income Tax act.
Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Scheme
This is one of the most popular senior citizen pension schemes in India which are designed for senior citizens above 60 years of age. The policy term of this prime minister’s senior citizen scheme extends to ten years. So, the pensioner can choose the frequency of the payment like monthly/quarterly/half-yearly/ annually. Senior members can earn an interest of 8% per annum over this scheme.
There are few other schemes in India where individuals can use the saving schemes for senior citizens after their retirement. However, the above schemes can be a good plan to finance the money in it and get a better amount of money in returns. Hope that I have covered all the topics in my article about the best savings options for senior citizens.


Have Boat Questions? Ask a Boat Repair Expert.
Hi Mike, good morning my name is***** you have a model number handy on the outboard?
Unfortuantely those are not it. The model number would start with J90. Can you double check that for me. If you can not find it, is this just your basic 2 stroke carb model?
Okay got it. Is the engine actually stalling out, or is it just cutting out but more or less maintaining that 2000 rpms?
Does the engine have a working alarm system on it? Have you checked compression, spark output, and fuel pressure on the engine? How old is the fuel itself? Is there any history to this outboard, have you ever personally seen it run correctly?
Hello, I never heard back from you. How did you make out?

Jon Leonardo is a serial entrepreneur based in Raleigh. He founded a laundry business at Elon University, a charitable organization that plans lacrosse events and now a series of Entrepreneurship Weeks he plans to host in 200 cities around the world. Jon Leonardo
The UpTake: There may be dozens of entrepreneur events in cities around the world, but a Raleigh man is trying to highlight those events and all of a region's startup bright spots through local Entrepreneurship Weeks in 200 cities by 2016.
Are there enough startup events in this world? Jon Leonardo doesn’t think so.
He’s planning to host 200 Entrepreneurship Weeks in cities around the world by 2016, bringing national infrastructure and sponsors together with local entrepreneurs and startup community organizers. Their goal is to highlight startup activity in a region, to educate entrepreneurs and connect them with investors and resources in their community.
This week marks the kickoff of Leonardo’s 2013 season. He’s expecting 2,000 people to gather in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina for the third annual Triangle Entrepreneurship Week.
And in coming weeks, Leonardo will bring Entrepreneurship Week to Washington D.C., New York City and Cleveland. He’ll kick off 2014 in South Florida, and is in talks with leaders in Charleston, Tampa, Dallas, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles for early 2014.
“We aren’t trying to recreate anything but to promote the existing assets of the particular area and sprinkle in some of our own events,” says Leonardo, who is based in Raleigh. He encourages local networking events like Tech Cocktail or niche meetups to happen during Entrepreneurship Week.
“We can leverage and highlight what you’re up to,” he says.
It all happened by accident, Leonardo says. He was a junior at Elon University in North Carolina, running a laundry business he founded on campus, when he spent the summer of 2010 in Washington D.C. He and some friends in the city decided to plan a week of entrepreneurial events that fall, so Leonardo made the journey back and forth during the first few months of his senior year. His teachers understood—he was an entrepreneurship major.

Monument to Atatürk attacked in Turkey
A statue depicting a five-year-old girl, modeled in memory of Ayten Alper who was photographed in 1931 handing flowers to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk has been attacked by unidentified assailants in the Turkish province of Zonguldak.
The suspects broke off the statue’s arms and flowers on Aug. 20, the Hurriyet Daily reported.
Police are investigating the area of the attack and have appealed to locals in the area for information. They have also gathered security camera footage of shops on the Liman Avenue in order to identify the suspects.
