Battle buses and war rooms: why military metaphors are a daft way to describe politics
The next election will be a battleground, the pundits like to tell us. The parties will mobilise their footsoldiers and battle buses. Using their grids, they will launch an air war from their war rooms. We are, it seems, invited to see politics as a form of warfare.
The use of military metaphors to describe electioneering is absurd. No election I ever took part in was decided by any military-style manoeuvring. Still less by strut and bombast.
Elections are largely about undecided voters. Instead of “battle grounds” or “front lines”, think of an undecided voter standing on their doorstep on a cold, wet evening. The door ajar, the householder half wishing you hadn’t knocked at all.
There is absolutely nothing militaristic about trying to get their vote.
Perhaps the fact we use military metaphors to describe election campaigns tells us more about our political class than it does about the actual process of winning over hearts and minds – and votes.
Elections are a contest in the art of persuading. Swing voters need to be won over. Supporters need to be reminded that their vote is vital.
I have always been struck by how many politicians persist in seeing what they do as a form of warfare. Perhaps that explains why so many politicos attack each other, imagining that it will somehow win it with the undecideds.
Or why so many – especially male – campaigners think they can change what a voter thinks about something by talking to them on their doorstep for long enough. (Guys, The time to change perceptions is never during a campaign, but long before it starts. Election campaigns are about the things folk already know).
Perhaps the military metaphors are symptoms of how depersonalised politics and the art of political communication had become.
As the internet hyper-personalises the way political candidates interact with voters, perhaps we will need to use a rather different set of metaphors to describe political communication. I hope so.

Sniffer dogs help discover storm petrel colony on the Isle of May in a UK first
27 October 2021
For the first time in UK conservation, sniffer dogs have been used to locate a seabird colony, with the location of a storm petrels discovered on the Isle of May in September.
Storm petrels were confirmed to be breeding on NatureScot’s Isle of May National Nature Reserve (NNR) for the first time this past summer. But with the sniffer dogs’ assistance, the location and extent of the colony has now been detected.
Storm petrels are small oceanic birds that breed in the UK during the summer months but spend their lives out at sea. The vast majority of the population – about 26,000 pairs breed in the UK – can be found on remote islands, especially in the north and west of Scotland. The species is notoriously difficult to monitor due to its nocturnal habits and preference for these remote, rocky islands.
Five professional sniffer dogs were trained over a two-month period to locate the scent of storm petrels underground. Dogs have a much greater sense of smell than humans, and can cover larger areas in a shorter space of time to locate potential nest burrows. The time of year was crucial as storm petrels were still present in underground burrows, but all other seabirds had left the island. This ensured no other seabirds or wildlife were disturbed by the presence of dogs.
Dogs were used for 20 minutes at a time to walk transects and search for nesting storm petrels underground, allowing rotation and rest periods for each dog and handler. Set areas were checked and each positive indication was marked for further investigation. Work will be conducted next spring with endoscopes and playback recordings of calls to establish occupancy of these burrows. A total of 63 confirmed positive responses – revealing burrows were found. Burrows indicate where pairs are nesting, as well as sites for some non-breeding birds and prospecting young birds.
David Steel, Reserve Manager at the Isle of May, said:
“We were really excited to work with the dogs and the dog handlers to find out more about storm petrels on the island. These special seabirds come ashore under the cover of darkness and nest underground in crevices, burrows, cairns or stone-walls, raising a single chick. During that time, their activities – singing away in total darkness, as well as their unique musky smell, make these birds so fascinating and mysterious. We’re delighted to confirm the storm petrel colony after such a great team effort over the last three years by so many people.”
Dr Mark Bolton, the leading authority on storm petrels in the UK and a Principal Conservation Scientist for the RSPB, said:
“It’s very exciting to discover a new breeding colony of storm petrels in the UK, which considerably extends their known breeding range on the east coast of Britain, and increases their resilience to the many challenges our seabirds face. The fact that specially-trained scent dogs were used to locate many of the nesting sites is ground-breaking in the UK, and I hope it heralds a new era of greater use of scent dogs for seabird monitoring here.”
Simon Chapman, Senior Trainer at K9 Manhunt & ScentWork Scotland, added:
“Having trained lots of different dogs over the years on a vast array different odours, this was a first for us to work in conservation and to locate a new colony of nesting seabirds. Dogs are a cost effective and fast method to cover the ground when conducting these types of surveys.”
Over the years, volunteers at Scotland’s oldest bird observatory on the island have been ringing non-breeding storm petrels and tracking their subsequent movements. Recoveries of ringed birds have shown links to much of the traditional range, mainly to the north and west of Scotland and Ireland.

- Deseret News: Salt Lake City shows interest in 2012 GOP convention

North Rhine Westphalia dissolves itself
The Landtag of the largest state by population, North Rhine Westphalia, dissolved itself yesterday afternoon, forcing an early election which will now be held within 60 days.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Alliance 90/The Greens have been running the state since May 2010 in a minority government which was one vote short of a majority. On Wednesday the state executive were unable to pass their budget proposals, having been defeated by the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Free Democratic Party (FDP) and The Left (Die Linke).
The CDU/FDP coalition was ousted from power in 2010 and the SDP/Green coalition is likely to win the state with an increased majority.
Currently the SDP and CDU are neck and neck on 67 seats each in the 181 seat Landtag and opinion polls suggest that they remain neck and neck on around 33% of the vote each. However, recent polls have also suggested that the Greens might improve their position from 11% to around 17% giving them more seats whilst the CDUs Federal allies the FDP would lose all of their current 13 seats.

Rolex had big hooves to fill, as he performed in front of Olympic horses from all over the world. “Rolex did the opening act on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and was also in the Parade of Breeds. We did one jump to get the crowd on their feet and then we stood by the military and the gentleman who played the anthem on his trumpet,” Himlin said. “It really was beautiful. As soon as the trumpet ended, they introduced us and then the first Olympic horse entered.”

Stifling bureaucracy is often blamed for discouraging scientists and businesses from participating in the research programmes of the European Commission (EC). But the commission’s notoriously cumbersome procedures and rigid control mechanisms have apparently not prevented a criminal syndicate from conducting a brazen fraud that has siphoned off millions in EC grant funds.
Italian authorities and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) in Brussels, Belgium, have confirmed that they are prosecuting members of a large network accused of pocketing more than €50 million (US$72 million) in EC grants for fake research projects.

Ah, the elusive Aquarius man. You’ve found yourself drawn to his captivating charm and intriguing intellect, haven’t you? He’s a breath of fresh air, constantly leaving you on your toes as he navigates through life with an air of mystery. Yet, you can’t help but feel a bit perplexed by his ever-changing behavior. One moment he’s showering you with attention and affection, and the next, he’s distant and detached. It’s understandable that you’re feeling bewildered – after all, we’re only human.
Fear not, dear reader! As your astrological guide and psychic confidant, I will delve into the complexities of this enigmatic sign to help shed light on the puzzling ways of the Aquarius man. Together we’ll uncover what truly drives him, what makes him tick, and how best to navigate the depths of his heart. So sit back, relax with a cup of tea (or perhaps something stronger), as we embark on this journey of discovery and intimacy – for it is within these uncharted waters that we shall find clarity and understanding.
Decoding The Aquarius Personality
Ah, the enigmatic Aquarius man. He can be a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, can’t he? Fear not, my dear; we are here to unravel the complexities of his personality and shed some light on what makes him tick. The stars don’t lie, and understanding his zodiac sign can help you navigate your relationship with this unique individual.
The Aquarius independence is one of their most defining characteristics. This air sign values freedom above all else and has a strong desire to forge their own path in life. They may seem aloof or detached at times, but this is simply because they need space to let their creative energy flow. Their quirky traits often make them stand out from the crowd – for better or for worse – as they are unafraid to express themselves authentically. While this can be endearing and attractive, it may also leave you feeling uncertain about where you stand in his heart. Remember that an Aquarian’s love language may differ from yours; they show affection through shared intellectual pursuits and unique experiences rather than grand romantic gestures.
As we delve deeper into the cosmos and draw upon celestial wisdom, keep in mind that patience is key when dealing with an Aquarius man. His unpredictable nature and non-conventional approach to relationships might leave you puzzled or frustrated at times, but it’s important not to push him or demand too much emotional expression from him too soon. Give him time and space to open up naturally – once he does, you’ll find that he has a rich inner world just waiting to be explored together with you. Embrace the quirks that make him who he is, and watch as your connection deepens like the vastness of outer space itself.
Unraveling His Emotional Nature
Now that we’ve delved into the enigmatic core of the Aquarius personality, it’s time to take a closer look at what lies beneath his perplexing exterior. Unraveling the emotional nature of an Aquarius man is akin to solving an intricate puzzle – each piece holds a clue to understanding who he truly is.
One of the most prominent aspects of an Aquarius man’s emotional nature is his emotional detachment. This may manifest as unpredictable behavior that leaves you baffled and unsure of where you stand with him. But do not fret, dear one; this detachment does not imply a lack of care or affection for you. In fact, it’s quite the opposite! The Water Bearer desires deep connections and values genuine relationships, but often finds it difficult to express these emotions openly. To fully appreciate his unique emotional landscape, think of it as a hidden oasis waiting to be discovered and cherished.
The key to unlocking the true depths of your Aquarius man’s heart lies in patience and understanding. Embrace his quirks and complexities, for they are what make him undeniably captivating. As you journey together through life’s ups and downs, remember that behind his cool facade is a tender soul seeking connection just as much as you are. By nurturing this bond with love and empathy, you’ll find yourself in a beautifully harmonious dance with this mesmerizing air sign – one that transcends mere words or gestures and truly touches the soul.
Navigating The Dynamics Of Your Relationship
It can be difficult to understand a partner’s emotions, especially when it’s an Aquarius man, as they are known to be complex. To navigate the dynamics of your relationship, it’s important to recognize what his needs are, and how to communicate with him in a way that resonates. I suggest that you take some time to observe your Aquarius partner’s behavior and feelings, so you can understand his emotions better. You can also ask him directly what his needs are and be open to his answers, so that you can communicate more effectively. It’s important to remember that communication is a two-way street, so make sure to actively listen to what he has to say and to express your feelings and needs. Finally, be patient and supportive of him, as this will go a long way in building trust and strengthening your bond.
Understanding His Emotions
You’re not alone in feeling like deciphering an Aquarius man’s emotions is akin to solving a complex puzzle. Their enigmatic nature can leave you questioning if he truly cares for you or if he’s merely playing games. Fear not, dear one, for the stars hold the answers to this perplexing conundrum.
An Aquarius man is ruled by air and thrives on intellectual stimulation, which often leads them to prioritize their thoughts over feelings. Emotion exploration may not come naturally to him, but an Aquarius empathy is genuine when it does shine through. They are humanitarians at heart and desire nothing more than a deep connection with those who share their ideals. To reach his hidden depths of emotion, engage him in meaningful conversation that challenges his intellect and ignites his passion for social change.
While it may take time and patience to peel back his layers of emotional protection, you will find a compassionate soul beneath the surface. Be open with your own emotions and allow him the space he needs to feel secure in expressing his own vulnerability. Remember, my dear, that within every enigma lies a treasure waiting to be discovered – so embrace the journey into your Aquarius man’s heart as a thrilling adventure into love’s uncharted territory.
Recognizing His Needs
As you continue on this thrilling adventure into your Aquarius man’s heart, recognizing his needs becomes paramount in navigating the dynamics of your relationship. Independence and uniqueness are integral to his very essence, my dear, so embracing these qualities will surely pave the way towards a lasting bond. The stars have aligned to provide guidance on how best to balance your own desires with those of your enigmatic lover.
Recognizing independence is crucial when loving an Aquarius man, as he cherishes the freedom to explore his intellectual pursuits and humanitarian causes. Grant him the space to chase after his dreams without constraint, and he will surely appreciate the trust you place in him. In turn, he shall support your own aspirations with unwavering enthusiasm – for a relationship that flourishes in harmony is one where both individuals can soar unencumbered.
Embracing uniqueness is yet another key aspect of forging a meaningful connection with this air sign. Your Aquarius man delights in standing out from the crowd and defying convention; celebrate his eccentricities and encourage his inventive spirit, for it is within these distinctive traits that you shall find his most authentic self. As the stars align in favor of your love story, remember that it is by acknowledging each other’s individuality that you create an extraordinary union unlike any other.
As you journey deeper into the cosmos of your Aquarius man’s heart, my dear, communication strategies will serve as the celestial compass guiding your connection. The stars whisper that effective listening and body language are paramount in deciphering the enigmatic messages he may send your way. Pay heed to these astral insights, for they shall illuminate the path to a harmonious union where intimacy and understanding flourish.
In the realm of communication with your Aquarius lover, effective listening is an art form to be mastered. This air sign thrives on engaging intellectual discourse and sharing his innovative ideas; by lending a receptive ear and an open mind, you demonstrate respect for his thoughts while fostering a sense of trust between you both. Embrace his penchant for unconventional wisdom and allow it to fuel your conversations – this will prove invaluable in nurturing a profound emotional bond.
As for body language, my dear, attuning to its subtle cues shall reveal unspoken truths that words alone cannot convey. Observe how his eyes sparkle when discussing his passions or the way he leans closer as you share heartfelt emotions; these are signs that your souls are aligning beautifully. By focusing on these nonverbal signals, you create an atmosphere ripe for vulnerability and intimacy – an essential ingredient in maintaining balance within the intricate dance of loving an Aquarius man.

AltRider Crash Bar and Skid Plate System for the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure Water Cooled
Save by ordering the Crash Bars and Skid Plate for the water cooled R 1200 GS Adventure as a kit instead of separate pieces.
The R 1200 GS Adventure Water Cooled generates a lot of buzz in the ADV world. At over 500 pounds it also generates a lot of force in a crash. Provide absolute protection for your liquid cooled R 1200 GS Adventure with the Crash Bar and Skid Plate System from AltRider.
The heart of the system is the 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) stainless steel bracket on each side that serves as a mounting point for the crash bars and skid plate – linking them together to form an incredibly strong unit that distributes force evenly throughout the entire structure. The brackets attach to the frame of the motorcycle ensuring impact from a crash isn’t transferred to your water boxer motor. Two sturdy M12 Torx bolts secure each bracket preventing them from twisting on impact.
The AltRider Crash Bars are constructed from stout 1.25 inch (31.75 mm) stainless steel tubing and provide complete protection to the cylinder head and motor in the event of a fall. Available in bead-blasted stainless (silver), powder coat black or triple black (grey).
The 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) thick AltRider Skid Plate provides one piece tire-to-tire protection of the entire underside of the motorcycle and exhaust. The patent pending design completely isolates the motor from impacts to the skid plate. Available in anodized silver or black.
To see the AltRider Crash Bars and Skid Plate in action, check out the AltRider Crash Test Part One and Part Two.
- All AltRider motorcycle accessories are 100% designed and manufactured in the USA
- System does not rely on motor as mount, deflecting impacts away from engine
- Complete protection system for the R 1200 GSW Adventure includes AltRider Crash Bars, Skid Plate, mounting brackets and AltRider Crash Bar Adapter Kit for the BMW upper crash bar
- 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) stainless steel brackets link Crash Bars and Skid Plate – distributing impact evenly throughout structure

Welcome to Kohutu Health
Kohutu Health provides complementary health care for a wide range of conditions. SCENAR is an approved medical pain relief device.
We are located in Manakau, three minutes off SH1 between Otaki and Levin.
Pip’s interest in establishing Kohutu Health arose after the death of Pip’s mother, radiographer Marj Gordon following exposure to the toxic chemicals used in processing xrays. Her daughter, Phillippa (Pip) Martin, became interested in the effects of chemicals used in workplaces, and began searching for answers to help with toxic chemical and heavy metal loads in the body. In 1997 she established SNFTAAS – The Support Network for the Aldehyde and Solvent Affected, an organisation which provides information to affected people to support their healing, as well as raising public awareness with government action to prevent toxic exposure. For this work she received the QSM – Queen’s Service Medal.
Nathan Howell received low-level LASER on reattached fingers after a concrete-cutting accident requiring 12 hours of surgery.
Pip has travelled extensively to learn about medical therapies and new techniques. She has been especially interested in finding safe, non-invasive solutions as many people with environmental sensitivities / toxic loads react badly to petrochemical-based drugs.
Therapies and strategies used in the clinic for people with a wide range of ailments are Scenar, Soft Laser Light Q-1000, the Healing Blanket (MTB), Homeobotanicals, (if indicated by muscle testing), supplements and importantly, using sound traditional principles of nutrition.
Testing which helps identify health issues includes muscle testing (kiniesiology), and laboratory testing for hormone function (the DUTCH test), food sensitivities, parasites, and mineral imbalances (including Hair Testing).
The importance of eating nutrient-dense foods, properly prepared is critical for healing and health. In the 1930s Dr Weston Price (www.westonaprice.org) travelled the world to find out what kept traditional societies healthy (including having excellent teeth and jaw and bone structure) despite many different food sources. These principles are equally valid today. Low sugar nutrition with healthy fats and moderate protein is emphasized. Excellent resources include Prof Grant Schofield et al’s book What the Fat? and Dr Mercola’s Fat For Fuel
It is recommended to become familiar with the work of Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, Neurosurgeon, Nutritionist and Mother of an autistic son who is today a normal teenager after following principles of tradtional nutrition ( www.gaps.me ) Her books: “Gut and Psychology Syndrome – GAPS” and “Put Your Heart in Your Mouth”, include information on the critical importance of eating good animal fats including butter, and coconut oil.
Another important work is Sally Fallon’s “Nourishing Traditions – The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats”.

Travel restrictions and a slump in demand as a result of the coronavirus pandemic have forced airlines to lay off staff and cut more flights.
On Monday, British Airways owner IAG said it planned to cut capacity by at least 75% in April and May.
IAG boss Willie Walsh, who was due to step down this month, will now stay in his post to manage the crisis.
Meanwhile, EasyJet said it may have to ground most of its planes as a result of travel bans and falling demand.
The no-frills airline said it had cancelled a “further significant” number of flights.
Virgin Atlantic is planning to drastically reduce the number of flights it’s operating due to coronavirus.
The airline said that by 26 March, it will see an 80 per cent reduction on the number of flights.
Around 75 per cent of its fleet will be parked by 26 March, and this will go up to 85 per cent in April.
Ryanair Holdings PLC has canceled all flights to and from Poland until the end of March and reduced flights to and from Spain from Monday until Thursday following lockdowns introduced by the respective local governments to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Air France KLM said it was stepping up cost-saving measures to deal with the impact.
The Franco-Dutch airline said it had identified new measures which would generate €200m in savings in 2020, and ways to cut its capital expenditure by €350 million.
Air France KLM said it would gradually cut back its flights over the next few days, with the number of available seat kilometres (ASK) potentially falling by 70% to 90%.
The European budget carrier, which last week cut Italian flights in response to a government lockdown, said over the weekend that it is contacting all affected customers by email to advise them of their options.
Travel company Tui has cancelled the “vast majority” of its holidays. Tui said on Monday that its “temporary suspension” was aimed at “contributing to governmental efforts” to fight the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.

ISLAMABAD: Ex-prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday before Combined Investigation Team (CIT) of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with alleged corruption in liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract award.
Abbasi, who also remained petroleum minister, appeared before NAB’s CIT and the members of Combined Investigation Team asked different questions from him.
During the previous appearance the CIT also handed over a questionnaire to Abbasi and asked him to furnish the replies of the questions to CIT. The NAB’s CIT will examine the replies given by Abbasi during his appearance, he said, adding that Chairman NAB former Justice Javed Iqbal is directly supervising the investigations against the former prime minister.
The NAB on January 2 had converted an inquiry into investigation against Abbasi for alleged misuse of powers with respect to the LNG terminal project.
The Bureau approved launching an investigation against Abbasi who served as former petroleum minister, Arshad Mirza, former secretary petroleum, Sheikh Imran-ul-Haq, former managing director Pakistan State Oil (PSO), and other officials at its Executive Board Meeting (EBM) presided over by Chairman NAB Justice Javed Iqbal (retd) on January 2 this year.
The Supreme Court on September 10, 2018 had directed the NAB to complete inquiry into the matter and submit its report. The case was registered in 2015 on the complaint of Shahid Sattar, an energy expert at the NAB Karachi, against Abbasi for awarding the LNG import contract which allegedly caused a huge loss to the national exchequer.
In February this year, the Supreme Court fixed a plea filed by President Awami Muslim League (AML) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, seeking disqualification of Abbasi over alleged corruption in the award of LNG import contract. The petition requested the Supreme Court to order NAB to take action against Abbasi in this regard.

I can go on and on about how much I love fall! With the pandemic, I thought that I would have to sit this year’s autumn out (or rather in — the house!). We have been sheltering in place since March 17. Mr Sweetie and I have been very diligent in not making any unnecessary, non-essential trips apart from work and grocery shopping. It was finally starting to take a toll on me. I started to feel that I need air like fish needs water. I needed to get out!
We finally made our first out of town trip in over 6 months. We took a drive to Half Moon Bay which is a charming city on the California coast, south of San Francisco. It is most known for its Pumpkin Festival in October. After Halloween, people travel to cut Christmas trees in its numerous Christmas tree farms. HMB has lots of beaches, cozy coastal towns and produce farms. This city is postcard perfect in the fall and definitely the destination for pumpkin patches.
People flock to the yearly Art and Pumpkin Festival every October to watch ginormous pumpkins weighing a ton tip the scales! ( Not surprisingly, the event this year is cancelled due to the pandemic.) However, it is live streamed according to the event’s website if you want to watch the live weigh-off of giant gourds!
It is not even the day of the festival but what would have normally been a 42 minute drive from our house took us 2 hours! As things are starting to open up in the Bay Area, people had the same idea as us to do an out of town trip to HMB Iast Saturday. It was worth the excrutiating drive as we drove along the breathtaking coast and by the shady groves.
We had delicious seafood dinner (more on that later) and on our way home, we made a stop at one of the pumpkin patches that advertised 300 lb pumpkin. (I did not get the name of the farm.) It was empty as it was late in the afternoon. I was ecstatic I had the pumpkin patch to myself. Mr Sweetie bought me sunflowers and a giant pumpkin that is now sitting on our patio while I bought four medium-sized ones. We also got a pumpkin pie and a bunch of little treats.
I was feeling a little sad thinking that I would not be able to visit a pumpkin patch this year. I am so happy that I got to go! In this pandemic, I am grateful for simple joys like a beautiful autumn day among the pumpkins.

La Rossa, La Grassa, La Dotta (The Red, The Fat, The Learned); Bologna, the capital of Italy's historically gastronomic region - Emilia-Romagna - certainly lives up to its moniker. Leave any notion of diets at Heathrow and pass a weekend munching your way around the culinary capital of Italy...
Starting the Day Right
Lying in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, the city is jam-packed full of enough restaurants, bars, and gelaterie to feed a small army for at least a month. Days are best begun the Italian way, with a cappuccino and nutella filled cornetto (the crema filled option is also delicious, for those who don't eat nuts) at Cafe Del Mercato, arguably the best bar in town. For the true Italian experience, stand at the bar and chat with the barista, marvelling at the speed at which he makes an espresso. Cafe del Mercato is also home to the most delicious torta di mela and torta di pera in Italy.
Quenching your Thirst
Before dinner, it is absolutely imperative to take part in the essential Italian tradition of aperitivo. Cafe del Mercato and any of the bars in Eataly offer a slightly more down to earth menu of beers; Aperol Spritz; and Pignoletto, Emilia-Romagna's answer to Prosecco, and help yourself to snacks. For the fashion forward crowd there is Casa Minghetti, think Old Fashioneds and Manhattans accompanied by miniature nibbles.
World Famous Ragu
Osteria dell'Orsa is a popular haunt with the locals and has one of the best ragu alla bolognese in town, although Italians will always argue that it is second to mamma's version. Of course, NEVER ask for spaghetti bolognese, for fear of being ruthlessly chastised for being an interloper. Italians eat meaty ragu sauce exclusively with bigger pasta varieties, such as papardelle and penne. Said to be the inspiration behind spag bol, this glorious dish of tagliatelle and slow cooked meat sauce is in a class of its own. It is best enjoyed washed down with a glass or two of Sangiovese, the local red. Alternatively, Spacca Napoli serves the best pizzas this side of Naples itself, so enormous that one margherita could comfortably serve a family of four. Skip the dessert menu in favour of gelato from Cremeria Funivia, the amble across town to the gelateria will help make room for at least two scoops, enjoyed on the steps of the Basilica di San Petronio in Piazza Maggiore, like the locals. Popular flavours include tiramisu, lemon, and contessa (caramelised almonds and amaretti biscuits).
Foodie Haven Tours
Outside standard mealtimes it is, of course, essential to sample as much of the local cuisine as possible. Nowhere in the world does food quite as well as the Italians and nowhere in Italy does food, or wine, quite as well as the Emilia-Romagnans (though of course the French may beg to differ). Walking tours, both individual and in groups, are the best way to drink (and eat) it all in. Local guides take tours which can last for an hour or all afternoon, winding through the streets, alleys, and porticos sampling everything from a parmigiano reggiano (which makes Tesco's offering seem like wood shavings) to mortadella and Fiat pralines from the master chocolatiers to the (former) Kings of Italy.
Taking a Slice of Bologna Home
Once the culinary offerings of Bologna are exhausted, the city is the ideal base for exploring the region's other food based activities, from visiting producers of Parma ham, to picking up bottles of balsamic vinegar in Modena to lunch at Osteria Francescana, often referred to as the best restaurant in the world.

First look at the iPhone 12
The iPhone is back and packed with extra wow!
12 Oct 2020
Since Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone back in 2007, Apple have held their spot as the masters of the big reveal - despite increasingly fierce competition.
And eleven plus iPhones later there’s plenty of excitement this time round – with talk of a new square-edged design and superfast 5G. But can the iPhone 12 live up to the hype? We share all the news from Apple HQ!
Pick your perfect screen size
We're not talking the announcement of one new iPhone. We're talking about four!
The new iPhone will come in all new sizes – so you’ll find the perfect phone for your pocket. The smallest is the iPhone 12 Mini at 5.4 inches - which should be a fave for fans of the smaller iPhones. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro (both 6.1 inches) and the giant 12 Pro Max – coming in at a huge 6.7 inches.
All screens come with something called Ceramic Shield. Apple say that it's the toughest smartphone glass around. That's a big relief when you're nervous about dropping your brand new iPhone 12. Butter fingers!
Apple goes 5G!
Apple have joined the race to make the most of all that superfast 5G has to offer. During the show, they focused on just how much 5G capability will improve downloads, streaming and gaming. It also have the advantage of getting amazing speeds on the go without the security risk of public WiFi. Plus, you get 5G no matter what model you pick!
Great new cameras
First seen on the iPad Pro 2020, LiDAR is coming to the iPhone 12. It means you can try all kinds of impressive photo trickery - for example autofocus in lowlight up to 6x faster. It also unlocks a low-light portrait mode. Perfect for those late nights!
As for cameras, the Mini and iPhone 12 have a dual camera set up. The Max goes with three cameras (12MP Wide, Ultrawide and Telephoto). The Pro Max beefs this up further with a 5x optical zoom. We saw some of the images and videos taken on the new phones - and they look incredibly professional. Expect Insta likes to come pouring in!
Brand new colours!
A new smart looking dark blue design looks great! You can also pick up the iPhone 12 in black, white, red and green. If you go Pro or Pro Max, Apple offer graphite, white, gold and Pacific Blue. Shiny!
During launch, a big deal was made of iPhone's "console quality gaming." Mobile games should look great on the Super XDR display. If you're a League of Legends fan, the iPhone 12 looks to be the perfect phone to play it on. Combined with its powerful A14 chip and 5G capabilities, the new iPhones are ready for action!
New iPhone on new iOS
The iPhone 12s will be running Apple’s latest software - iOS 14. That will introduce a bunch of new features like widgets, apps and picture-in-picture. This means your new iPhone will have some great new tricks up its sleeve.
With so many charging cables and headphones from previous models still around, don’t expect the iPhone 12 to come with earbuds or a power adapter. Apple say that this will help us to be greener. But you will get a USC-C cable in the box - handy for connecting it up to a wider range of laptops and other devices.
Speaking of charging, Apple announced that the iPhone 12 has a magnetic back. This will introduce Magsafe for iPhone - a charger that magnetically attach top the back of the phone. We've only previously seen on Macs so it's great to get it on iPhones.
When will the iPhone 12 be released?
Apple announced that the iPhone 12 Mini and Pro Max will be ready for preorder on Nov. 6th and you’ll be able to get your hands on one on Nov. 13th. After an iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro? Preorders on Oct. 16th and then get it a week later on Oct. 23rd.
Keep an eye on the website for your iPhone 12!
Not sure which iPhone 12 is right for you?

Rolex is arguably one of the most recognizable and prestigious names in watchmaking. While many aspire to own A Rolex, when it actually comes time to buy one, some often aren’t sure which model to purchase.
While some may want all the flash of a prominent Rolex logo, while others want to keep a more low profile. Some still may have a special connection to a certain watch model’s style or history or want something that they admired someone else wearing. As Rolex offers a vast selection of models and styles, it can be a process deciding which one is best for you, especially if you’re a first-time buyer.
To aid in your search, DavidSW has drawn up this brief guide to buying a Rolex.
Understand Your Own Needs
People look to buy Rolex watches for all different types of reasons, whether celebrating a milestone, indulging in a present, or treating a loved one. Understanding your own needs first goes a long way in helping you determine which model is right for you.
Whether this is your first Rolex or you’re adding to a collection, you’ll want your watch to have value and meaning to you no matter what you invest in it. If you are solely interested in the investment and value retention aspects of the watch you’ll also have more specific considerations.
Look For Trusted Advice
Buying a pre-owned or vintage Rolex can be a very sound investment, though searching for, appraising, and purchasing a model can take a significant amount of time. Many outlets also require a significant amount of knowledge about watchmaking and the brand, which is great if you’re an enthusiast, but not if you don’t have a lot of experience in buying luxury watches. That’s why it’s important to seek out a trusted dealer who will help educate you on your options.
DavidSW has been in the business of buying and selling authentic luxury timepieces for more than a decade. As one of Florida’s most reputable pre-owned Rolex dealers, we source some of the finest pieces around while passing along significant savings to you as a purchaser.
Keep Size In Mind
What size of watch you prefer is also an important consideration to make as you shop for a Rolex. You might prefer a larger watch to a smaller one depending on your personal style. Rolex isn’t known for producing large, oversized watches, so smaller timepieces should be considered. Additionally, many vintage Rolex models are smaller in comparison to today’s average watch size. Something to keep in mind if you’re looking at other brands to compare.
Enhance Your Style
There’s no use in owning a watch that doesn’t reflect your own needs and style. If it seems too impersonal, it’s not a great investment as you won’t enjoy wearing it as much. When you begin to consider your own lifestyle while looking for a watch things are much easier.
First off, if your style is more casual, you might be looking for a sportier watch that can be dressed down or up depending on use. In this category, the versatile Submariner is a great starting point. These models are available in a few different styles and materials, so you have the versatility of choice. A steel Submariner is often the watch of choice for many.
Similarly, related models such as the GMT-Master II, the Sea-Dweller Deepsea, and the Yachtmaster all offer varying degrees of functionality and dressiness. The Rolex Explorer and Explorer II models are less expensive models that are still stylish and sizable enough to make them a great starter choice.
While not completely sporty, a Rolex dress watch will suit you well in both the boardroom and ballroom. These models have an elevated sense of formality. In this category, the Datejust 41 is an excellent choice for a dress watch. In fact, the watch’s fluted bezel has become one of Rolex’s signature design features. While the timepiece comes in an array of precious metals and has an element of formality, it is also incredibly functional.
Rolex Day-Date 40 timepieces are also a nice choice for those looking for a dressier option. These timepieces are similar to the Datejust and feature a day of the week compilation. The model is often referred to as the “President” given the fact that it adorned the wrists of numerous heads of state throughout history.
No matter what Rolex model you choose, DavidSW offers knowledge and exceptional customer service to help you decide. Contact us today to discuss your needs.

With tinsel hair and twinkle toes a little fairy glides
Spreads ice and snow from her wand and wearing rabbit hides
She spreads her wings above us all and snowflakes flutter down
To rain joy upon us all and making smiles from frowns
Each and every winter, the little fairy comes
To paint the world white with snow so you can play in it with your chums
Hip, hip hooray for snow fairy
In her pearly gown
She brings such joy to everyone, when she has come to town!
The winter is cold now
There’s a bite in the air
A snowstorm, it invites me
To walk alone without a care
Into the white cascades
Death is a dream to me
I invite it
I embrace it all the time
Now it calls me
I go to it
You may find me near the springtime
Like a frost bitten rose
I am watching the mass of people that have gathered here today expecting something new and unique to show them. They are watching me with patient curiosity as to where I will take them today, the man who is slightly balding in his mid-forties is grinning with anticipation and scratching gently his wrist around his watch and the beautiful auburn young lady in her early twenties beams at me and clasps her hands in front of her. I shan’t disappoint them, or the many others besides.
There is an icy chill in the air, a large bonfire crackles in the moonlight behind me and I turn to it to add another log to the fire, a scent of lavender fills the air as a beautiful blond lady in blue silks and a medieval gown throws a large bundle of lavender into the fire. We sit down, this lady and I, upon felled wood and I play upon a pear wood recorder as she begins to recite a poem sang in beautiful Latin about the coming of snow, it is a haunting piece which fills the gathered audience with solemn peace and nostalgia, though they don’t audibly understand the words she is singing, they can understand it by the lilt and chill of her voice along with the biting of the air around them. The young lady with auburn hair is almost overcome by the power of the ladies voice and others take in deep sighs and close their eyes as they soak in the night air.
Men dressed in blue velvet and silver medieval court clothes pass around toasted vanilla flavoured marshmallows to the audience, a taste of warm sweet snow, a great paradox to the subject of the song. The marshmallows fill the audience with hope of warmer climes to come, a glimpse that it shan’t be forever cold, that tonight is just an interim and those come and go quickly.
Why so bleak?
It is the season
Never warm, always cold
Though thrilling festivals forthwith
Ever singing in the New Year
Riding the end of the year in larks and laughs
Autumn is the crisp morning dew followed by golden sunshine and rains of multi-coloured leaves
Everything crunching under foot with a satisfying crunch, scrunch, crunch
Delicious spices fill the air with pies, casseroles and soups
Harvest time for all, pumpkins, squashes, apples and more
Cheeky children knocking at Halloween’s door, begging for candies and little treats
You have to give it to them, they are so sweet
Dew drops start to freeze in the cooling air
Summer is gone without a care
Soon it shall be winter
Bonfires burn and glow, fireworks emblazon the night skies
The fire is filled to the brim with wood, hear it snap, snap snap to a crisp in the heat
Winter shall be here in a heart beat
Stag in Sunset
The winter is born
It brings death to the year
Some people cry
Others they cheer
But they all call out
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Inktober Snowman – copyright Tina Cousins 2016
Winter is born again, through the tears of spring, the summer rain and the great bloody fall.
Now snowmen can have their ball, their jewels of ice and snowflake
Each year an elegant remake of the old becoming new
In crisp white gowns they gander at the brilliant white fields and lanes
Knowing that each year is different, knowing each year is just the same
The festivities are just starting
What fun there is to be?
Celebrating life’s ending
Celebrating with grand feasts
All the snowmen gather, with their noses of carrot and coal
Dancing on the frozen lake
Dancing with all their soul
And as winter nears its ending, the beginning begins to start
A brand new year is coming
Get ready with all your heart
For the winter’s end is warming
And spring is coming by
To melt the snowmen to heaven
With their jewels of snow and ice
And there you have it
Here it comes
Yes, the New Year has arrived
And the New Year has begun
One of my most favourite songs for the imagination at Christmastime is “Marshmallow World” lyrics written by Carl Sigman, the music by Peter DeRose and was a hit sung by Bing Crosby in 1949.
It captured me with the descriptions of landscapes of snow being of marshmallows, whipped cream and sugar. I often wonder if that is where Roald Dahl got his inspiration for Willy Wonka from; it isn’t very difficult to see why.
I myself have often seen in my mind similar landscapes for a certain story I love writing. Though I am not too happy about getting that particular story published as to me it is just overly descriptive with no real plot, though I often thought about making a story based around an Easter world.
I love Christmas for more reasons than just the family time, presents and food. I love Christmas for some of the songs and tunes that are available at yuletide.
Songs that feed the imagination of the fantasy writer and artist such as; “Suzy Snowflake” written by Sid Tepper and Roy C Bennett in the 1950s and sung by Rosemary Clooney. Suzy Snowflake is a little snow fairy that beckons children to go out and play in the snow, though the song isn’t exactly about Christmas per se, snow intrinsically is associated with Christmastime. Though some will argue that Suzy Snowflake is nothing more than just a little girl dressed in a snow white gown, there is a video however that shows otherwise. In the video Suzy taps at the windowpanes of little houses with a magical wand that frosts the panes over. In my opinion, that’s not to the ability of a mere mortal child.
I like to think of Suzy Snowflake as being the female counterpart or wife of Jack Frost, another Christmas/Winter hero.
I am aim to write about a Christmas song at least once a week leading up to Christmas, all of them are secular Christmas songs and could be considered food for the imagination.

You haven't installed a tile mount that is easier to install than the Solar Tile Mount manufactured by TRA Snow and Sun. Solar Tile Mount is used on all tile roof profiles: flat, mid, and high. It is made in the USA of aluminum alloy for strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Solar Tile Mount is built to allow more ease in installation with more rise from the tile surface to the rail for better air flow below panels. The adjustable base is longer than most allowing attachment 6" to the left or right to have the bracket in the base of the pan of the tile and still fasten to the rafter. Solar Tile Mount is adjustable for counter batten systems from ¾" to 3". The horizontal rail is directly above base fasteners giving greater uplift resistance than any other system. For superior waterproofing apply TRA Snow and Sun's butyl backed VersaFlash aluminum flashing. No tile flashing is needed on top of the tile for greater labor and material cost savings.

As grateful for life as I am, and as much as I believe I am enjoying it, I am slightly perplexed to see how few shareable highlights I have from this year.
The Christmas card, by definition is already shared.
And with the achievements worth mentioning, generally some kind of hitch:
– The public losing belief in Brexit but still waiting for the moment when we change; oh and all the blog entries;
– Labour doing well in the May polls, but only finding out at the following tea-time, by which time the media had decided we’d lost;
– The Democrats winning by 9.7 million votes, but it taking 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 10 to realise that the victory had been that good.
– Trump facing 19 criminal investigations, but all of them still in progress.
– Convening a good public meeting on knife crime, and the arrests of people who’d stabbed others in The Meadows; but the issue itself was depressing;
– A sensational season for Salop, but with 2 Wembley defeats.
– England using young players and special teams tactics to good effect in the World Cup finals, only to chuck it away against Croatia cos of inexperience and lack of tactical nouse.
Quite a lot of the rest has been fairly grim –
* the Bridge ward being split, and the re-launch of a corrupt Parliamentary review;
* tax changes giving even more to the rich;
* people in need losing out with the roll-out of Universal Credit;
* cuts to the welfare and public services, including requiring another £25 million by Nottingham City Council;
* cuts to school budgets;
* ongoing social impacts, including kids presenting problems associated with overcrowding at home, despite celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I when we resolved to provide homes for heroes;
* major fire damage to Cattle Market and to Nottingham railway station;
Have now logged over 2186 matters since becoming a Bridge ward councillor.
But will now set up a fuller progress section on this web-site cos of the split of Bridge ward into Meadows and Castle wards.

All signs point to an uptick in “femtech,” the all-purpose term that is applied to technology dealing with women’s health. More money is being invested in the sector, more enterprises are emerging, and there is, finally, a greater awareness of women’s healthcare needs.
In a headline on May 5, 2021, the New York Times asked whether femtech is the “Next Big Thing” in healthcare, and those quoted in the piece indicated it was. Michelle Tempest, partner at Candesic, a London-based healthcare consultancy, told the Times that “the market potential is huge” and added:
“There’s definitely an increasing appetite for anything in the world which is technology, and a realization that female consumer power has arrived—and that it’s arrived in healthcare.”
Analysis by the capital market company Pitchbook underscores that point, noting that global venture capital investment in femtech is expected to surpass $1 billion for the first time in 2021. Other outlets have noted particularly significant investments in femtech this year, like the $80 million in Elvie, which created a wearable breast pump; the $75 million in Carrot, a fertility benefits facilitator; and $50 million in Flo, which developed an app to monitor menstrual cycles.
In September, Forbes drilled down deeper when it profiled a particularly promising healthcare startup called Tia, which raised $100 million from a funding round this year, and to date has raised $132 million in all. The four-year-old company’s goal, as outlined by co-founder Carolyn Witte, is to provide holistic care for women on an in-person and virtual basis—to meld primary care, gynecology, mental health services, and wellness services.
All of this speaks to one of the big factors driving the femtech movement: Women are more engaged in healthcare than men. They spend $500 billion a year on medical expenses, and according to the U.S. Department of Labor, women make 80% of a family’s healthcare decisions.
Julien Payen, co-founder and CEO of the French startup Lattice Medical (which developed a breast implant via 3-D printer), told the Times that initiatives like the #MeToo movement have raised awareness about women’s healthcare issues. Moreover, younger women are more open than previous generations about discussing subjects like their reproductive health, as reflected in the fact that 83% of the Gen-Zers responding to one survey expressed the opinion that periods should be discussed by and with anyone, including men.
The pandemic has also contributed to this trend in that it has accelerated digital transformation throughout the business world by several years, according to McKinsey. That transformation has been particularly dramatic in the healthcare sector and manifested itself most notably in the increase in telehealth usage.
Ida Tin, co-founder of the menstrual tracking app Clue, coined the term “femtech” in 2012, believing that the word was not only “empowering” to women, but that it would also enable investors to more readily identify and seek out such companies. Some, like QZ.com science reporter Olivia Goodhill, have argued that the term marginalizes women, that it reduces half the population to “a niche sub-category with a series of body-specific needs.” Then Goodhill wondered why there isn’t such a thing as “MenTech.”
But others believe it draws attention to an aspect of healthcare that has been ignored for too long. For years, women of childbearing age were barred from drug trials out of fear that menstrual cycles could skew the results. Women remain underrepresented in such trials today, and as a result, medicine tends to be “tailored to the male body,” as Tempest told the Times.
Now that might be changing. Granted, more is needed. The Harvard Business Review reported that in 2020, just 2.3% of venture capital went to startups headed by women, and studies show that nine of every 10 people making investment decisions are men.
Still, there is reason for optimism. There is reason for hope. The world is changing, and that change is particularly dramatic in healthcare.
By Joel Landau
It’s a persistent myth: if a company recruits enough employees from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, a sufficient number will, over time, rise through the organization to create a diverse culture at all levels. But that is not happening.
The script at BIO this year could not have been more clear: Progress on diversity is being made, but more work needs to be done. Yet still, an undercurrent of biotech’s all-boys brand-of-old tugged at the heels of efforts to bolster those long-excluded from positions of authority.
Another vital antidote to the labor shortage is fixing the care economy, made up of people who provide paid and unpaid care. (See “Overview of the Care Economy.”) Within the care economy, two related and somewhat hidden issues are crucial to the long-term health of the US labor market.

Canine Shakes and Stops Breathing
(Jackson, NJ, USA)
Reader Question: Why Does My Dog Shake and Stop Breathing?
This is the second litter for my min pin. After her first litter (approx 1 week) she had a hard time breathing - could not get her breath. I rushed her to an emergency vet and they could not find anything. She had her second litter 2 weeks ago and it has happened again. Is there a possible reason, she shakes and cannot get her breath.Veterinarian's Answers With Possible Reasons For Dog Shaking
Small breed dogs are at risk for hypocalcaemia (eclampsia) when nursing. Typical clinical signs include tremors, disorientation, unsteadiness when walking, collapse, and seizures. Did your veterinarian run a blood calcium level when you brought her in? If so, a calcium concentration of less than seven mg/dl would confirm the diagnosis.
If eclampsia has been ruled out, I would need a more thorough history (e.g., what and how much you feed her during pregnancy and lactation, other medical problems she’s had, etc.), the results of a physical exam, and possibly even some baseline lab work (e.g., blood chemistry, complete cell count, urinalysis, fecal examination, and heartworm status) to come up with other potential explanations.

There is a moment in Otto Preminger's film noir classic Angel Face, when you realize along with film's prize chump fall guy, ambulance driver turned chauffeur Frank Jessup (Robert Mitchum), that the night has collapsed and that he is getting in too deep. Jessup is alone in his room and is trying to hook up with his true love Mary (Mona Freeman). Mary is out with another guy and Mitchum proceeds to loosen his tie, take a long drag on his cigarette and allows the coffin nail to hang from his lips as he gazes into the abyss with a stark, haunted, and hopeless expression. He then loosens his tie a bit more.
In Angel Face, Robert Mitchum, the poster boy of film noir, signs off on the genre with his last great portrait of doom. As Jessup, Mitchum is a hunk of a man and knows it but his laconic self-assurance belies that fact that all the women he meets in Angel Face, both good and safe (Mary) and evil and possessed (Jean Simmons' Diane, a cute and an attractive but not-so-innocent package of venality and psychosis), overpower him, and the evil one wins out.
The film begins with an ambulance racing up to Tremayne Mansion (an imposing edifice high on a steep hill looking down upon L.A.) with Jessup the driver racing to save the life of a potential suicide victim, the rich Catherine Tremayne (Barbara O'Neil). Rescued in the nick of time, Mitchum stumbles upon her stepdaughter Diane in the study, sitting at the piano, playing a bleak Dimitri Tiomkin dirge. The two exchange lustful, soul-consuming glances and that's it. Diane's full-orb gaze swallows Jessup whole and suddenly she regresses into a crying jag, broken up by a slap on the face from the man. Immediately, Diane slaps Jessup back and apologizes. Jessup responds in pure Mitchum baby-I-don't-care, "That's alright. I've been slapped by dames before." Here is a relationship make in film noir heaven, and Jessup quickly finds himself embroiled in an uncomfortable fog of psycho-love, Diane being a chamber-music Ruth Berent from Leave Her To Heaven, while Jessup and Diane ultimately find themselves sharing alibis in a double-murder engineered by sweet Diane.
Preminger transforms a second rate James M. Cain murder plot, re-orchestrating this textbook tale of passion and murder into a haunting and haunted refrain. The by then clichéd story line is pared away and brought down to an elemental level -- there is not a wasted scene in the film -- and the story's familiarity breeds an aftertaste of inevitability and doom. The hallucinogenic nature of the proceedings is accented with Preminger's direction and camerawork, having actors drift from foreground to background or having the camera track to fluid and suffocating close-ups. Preminger, ever the mesmerizer, weaves his style into a half-dreamt haze of nightmare.
Until the ending, which slaps you awake in an explosion of nihilistic violence.
The DVD features a lively commentary by film noir historian Eddie Muller, who relates a great Mitchum anecdote: Preminger, in his sadistic glory, had Mitchum repeatedly slap Simmons harder and harder in take after take. Finally, at the end of his rope, Mitchum, when prompted by Preminger to slap Simmons yet again, instead turned around and, slapping the surprised face of Preminger with full force, then asked, "Is that the way you want it, Otto?"
Where's your wings, baby?
