The signing of Thiago Alcantara has seemingly changed the game in terms of Liverpool’s previously maintained transfer approach.
For years under the stewardship of FSG, Liverpool have resisted the urge to flex their muscles in the transfer market for some of the continent’s best players.
Liverpool luring Thiago from Bayern Munich last month was arguably the club’s biggest statement of intent in the transfer market this modern era.
The fact Liverpool were able to successfully secure the talents of one of the world’s best players for the peak years of his career from a European rival could represent a changing of the guard in terms of the club’s transfer approach in future years.
With that said, could there be another statement signing for Liverpool fans to swoon over this coming January or next summer? Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Dayot Upamecano represent three of the club’s highest-profile recent targets.
According to The Independent, Liverpool alongside Bayern represent are now seen as the most likely destinations for Borussia Dortmund’s Sancho next summer after Manchester United failed to secure his signing last summer.
But just how likely is it that Liverpool could strike a deal for any of the previously aforementioned trio?
How to deal with Dortmund?
Liverpool have proven themselves, tough negotiators, in the past and the club will be up against a similarly formidable opponent when it comes to striking a deal for either Haaland or Sancho.
The Bundesliga outfit remained firm throughout the summer following one of the most dragged out transfer sagas of the previous window after Dortmund successfully maintained the services of Sancho.
Dortmund demanded £108 million for Sancho and stayed true to their word as Manchester United tried to haggle themselves to a cheaper alternative.
This is something Liverpool fans can respect given their meticulous ability to buy and sell players at their own accord. However, it does suggest that dealing with Dortmund could be a difficult proposition.
Selling for less than the price quoted would be an admission of failure from Dortmund so if Liverpool are serious next summer for either Sancho or Haaland, the club cannot afford to mess around with price.
Dortmund will be even more resistant to selling Haaland. The striker has a release clause which comes into effect in 2022.
The German outfit could sell next summer if a big bid substantially above £70 million came in.
There are alternatives Liverpool could look at such as paying for fees in instalments rather than an eye-watering up-front costs which they utilised to their advantage in both deals to land Thiago [£25 million] and Diogo Jota [£41 million].
What about Upamecano?
Liverpool’s transfer business in the past has heavily been based around key determining factors such as plausibility, necessity and cost.
With that said, no player could be deemed as ticking all the boxes as effectively as RB Leipzig’s Upamecano.
The 22-year-old central defender is among the best centre-backs in Europe and given Liverpool’s desperate need for defensive reinforcements, they should look no further than Upamecano.
According to SportBild, Upamecano has a release clause believed to be in the region of £36.5 million which comes into play this summer.
With that in mind, Liverpool would be wise to get such a deal done as early as possible and if that means paying a little more to get a deal done in January, then so be it.
Joe Gomez represents Liverpool’s only available senior centre back at this present moment and given the injury-record of Joel Matip, the Reds need someone through the door as soon as the transfer window officially opens on New Year’s day.
This deal should take greater precedence over any other targets given the number of defensive injury setbacks the club have had to overcome in recent weeks.
Liverpool have a good working relationship with Leipzig following the deal struck for Naby Keita. Hopefully, the Reds can make it two times the charm to get another vital deal over the line.

When it comes to predicting, models require far more variables than age and gender to accurately predict.
The ability to accurately predict incidences in health care is something many providers need. When I compare this abstract to what I know about predicting outcomes, there are similarities between models. The patient factor models that include very few patient factors have poor capability to actually predict.
It seems when it comes to predictive models thoughtful consideration about the various factors that may truly affect the outcome need to be included in the model. In this particular study use of corticosteroids was a component increasing predictive capability.
For the model in this study, what is helpful for you is to keep your eye on your patients who have had a replacement due to rheumatoid arthritis – probably because of the prescribed corticosteroids for the condition. At the same time, for anyone undergoing elective joint replacement surgery that has certain comorbidities, you will need to keep your eyes open for infection.
The abstract is included below for you to review.
Identification of high-risk groups for complication after arthroplasty: predictive value of patient’s related risk factors.
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) benefit patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, a specific approach to detect patients at higher risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and mechanical complications is absent. The aim of this study is to identify groups at higher risk for infections and mechanical complications after TJA in patients with RA and OA based on their most significant predictors.
This is a hospital-based cohort study with 1150 recipients of TJA. Risk factors and comorbidities were assessed prior to the index surgery. Multivariate logistic and hazard regression were used to determine the relationship between risk factors and occurrence of complications after TJA. Odds ratios (OR), hazard ratios (HR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and comparison between areas under the curve (AUC) using DeLong’s method are presented.
Complications were more frequent in subjects with RA, use of corticosteroids, and previous comorbidities: respiratory disease, infections, diabetes, anemia, mental and musculoskeletal comorbidities than in subjects without these risk factors, and these factors were predictors of infections and mechanical complications (P < 0.05). A model including these factors was superior to a model with only type of joint disease (OA/RA) or age and gender to detect infections or mechanical complications after TJA (P < 0.05 for difference between models). Complication risk proportionally increased with the presence of two or more comorbidities (P < 0.001).
There are two groups at higher risk for infections after TJA: patients with OA with at least two risk factors and patients with RA, who usually present at least one of the risk factors for infection.

KohaCon12: Ebsco's EDS and Koha
Discovery also addresses the issue of the digital divide. Lee gave us many stats from PEW Internet & Research Studies. I did not get all of the numbers down so please check their reports (Wireless Internet Users and Pew Internet: Mobile).
- There are 82.2 million smart phone users with Android having 42% of the market.
- The total cell phone ownership in the US is 4 our out 5 people.
- The use of smart phones in the second and third world is also on the rise, because the barrier to entry is much lower.
- 80% of Whites in the US own cell phones
- 87% of African-Americans and English-speaking Latinos in the US own cell phones
- They are 4x more likely to use their phones for internet actions than whites
Lee asked us to look at the internet on cell phones. And then encouraged the developers in the room to start thinking about making Koha more mobile friendly.
The above is why Lee is looking for an outside discovery service because she wants her patrons (who are using cell phones and mobile devices to get information) to be able to find things easily. The ILS is just one of the resources the library has. We also have subscriptions to databases, links to Facebook, downloadable ebooks and links to our Flickr collections. The problem is that to get to those resources you have to click a different link to get to them. On a mobile device clicking many times is a great way to send people away from the library and to Google (where it’s one click). So what we need is a way to show all of our holdings to our patrons in one interface that’s easy and friendly to use. The option that Lee is looking at is EDS from Ebsco.
Lee showed the the Montana Shared Catalog (which I can’t provide direct links to because of session IDs – a pet peeve of mine with many proprietary systems) to show how it links all that content together – here’s a screenshot:
Note on the left the ways to filter by content and on the right the inclusion of videos and images on the results.
What I get from this is that we need to come up with an open source tool that can do what this tool can because I only looked at it for a little bit and while it’s neat that it brings everything together there are many many things that make it not terribly accessible.

UK Lenders Slash Mortgage Rates Amidst Growing Competition and Predictions of BoE Rate Cuts
British lenders are reducing mortgage rates at an accelerated pace as competition intensifies, inflation slows, and markets predict future interest rate cuts by the Bank of England (BoE). Data from Moneyfacts reveals that average rates on fixed-rate mortgage products have dropped by more than 0.5 percentage points since their peak in July, even before the BoE initiates any rate reductions.
The latest inflation data, released on Wednesday, shows that price rises in the UK fell faster than expected in October, plummeting to 4.6% from 6.7% the previous month. This news has further fueled investor speculation on upcoming BoE rate cuts in the coming year.
HSBC is the most recent lender to join the trend, cutting rates on Wednesday by an average of 0.15 percentage points across its mortgage products. Other major lenders such as Halifax, Virgin Money, and Nationwide have also recently reduced their rates.
Mortgage brokers have witnessed a series of rate reductions over the past few weeks in response to the overall market shift in pricing of future rates. John Charcol, a prominent broker, confirmed this, stating that lenders are trying to catch up with market expectations.
According to Moneyfacts, the average two-year fixed rate mortgage currently stands at 6.19%, down from its peak of 6.86% on July 26th. The average five-year rate has also decreased, falling from a peak of 6.37% on August 2nd to 5.79%.
Some bank mortgage teams are ramping up their efforts at the end of the year to meet company targets, as the wider market has experienced a downturn. However, the overall outlook for the UK housing market remains challenging, with the country’s inflation rate remaining high compared to other developed economies.
Separate data released on Wednesday indicates that UK house prices declined on an annual basis in September for the first time since 2012, highlighting the weak state of the property market.
Although the rate reductions by lenders will provide some relief to borrowers seeking new mortgage deals, variable rates that closely track the BoE rate are unlikely to see similar cuts.
The mortgage rate cuts come in the wake of increased competition among lenders and a general trend of lower interest rates. The housing market, however, continues to face numerous challenges, including high inflation and a weakened property market. As the year comes to a close, some lenders are working to meet their year-end targets, hoping to offset the overall slump in the market. Despite these rate reductions, variable rates closely tied to the BoE rate are not expected to see the same cuts.

The hardware is nearly identical to the Windows version that launched in January, including the edge-to-edge display that essentially fits a 13-inch laptop in an 11-inch body. But instead of Microsoft’s operating system, the XPS 13 Developer Edition comes with Ubuntu 14.04.
It’s even $50 cheaper than the Windows version when you line up the tech specs, starting at $950 with Core i5-5200U processor, 1080p non-touch display, 8 GB of RAM of and 128 GB of solid state storage. The configuration options are a bit different, though, so let’s walk through them:
- Dell offers cheaper Windows variants with 4GB of RAM, priced at $800 for a Core i3-5010U model and $900 for a Core i5-5200U model. With Linux, 8GB of RAM is the only option.
- For the Linux version, stepping up from the base model gets you 256GB of storage and a 3200-by-1800 resolution touchscreen for $1349. There’s no way to hit a middle ground by configuring just the display or the storage, as you can with Windows variants.
- Linux users can get a Core i7-5500U model with 256GB of storage for $1550, and can bump it to 512 GB of storage for $1850. Windows users can only get the 256GB option, and only through the Microsoft Store where it’s $50 more expensive.
Dell has dabbled in Linux laptops before, having released a Ubuntu-based version of its previous XPS 13 laptop a couple years ago equivalent For a time, it seemed like the project was fizzling out, but now Dell is showing an even greater commitment to Linux, with a range of XPS 13 configurations and a Ubuntu version of its beefier M3800 mobile workstation. The company is also providing clear instructions on how to load other Linux distributions, such as Fedora and Debian.
The story behind the story: While Linux users have traditionally been able to install their operating system of choice on any Windows machine, this became more of a hassle in Windows 8 with Microsoft’s switch to UEFI Secure Boot. Users still have the option to disable UEFI in Windows 8, but this may not be the case on all Windows 10 machines, potentially creating greater headaches for Linux distributions that don’t support UEFI

A band to believe in...?
"The word 'Cardinal' comes from the Latin word 'Cardo', meaning hinge, referring to things of fundamental importance. Ladies and gentlemen, please form an orderly queue and prepare for worship".
However tongue in cheek such a statement might be, The Cardinals have continued to cultivate an image of themselves as "a band to believe in", asserting that they are not simply another example of media hype, but set out to be a band who "would write songs that would lift people; straight from the heart, life-affirming anthems that would fill any stadium anywhere in the world." Needless to say then, that their debut double A-side, 'All Talk/All Messed Up' has been hotly anticipated.
And cranked up to full-volume, 'All Talk' and 'All Messed Up' are quite convincing; 'All Talk' makes use of driving, repetitive indie rock guitars that echo atmospherically to give the track its slightly epic and heart-felt, Feeder-esque feel, while 'All Messed Up' tries for all-out anthem status with more chiming guitars, smashing cymbals, a rumbling bass line and much catchier, soaring vocals from (the intriguingly named) guitarist and vocalist, Seven.
Yet despite their somewhat mystical conception and some gargantuan amibitions, passionate and powerful as these songs are, there's not much here that your typical indie fan won't have heard before. However, while they might not quite live up to the hype, there's no denying that 'All Talk/All Messed Up' is an exhilarating and confident example of British rock that's not easy to shake off, and that will certainly appeal to fans of The Killers and Feeder.

Gift-tax trap to snare thousands
THOUSANDS of elderly people face two years of uncertainty because the Government is threatening to wreck their tax plans. Trusts set up as long ago as 1986 to help reduce inheritance tax bills may have to be scrapped and families may have to pay income tax on their assets. Some details have emerged, but who will pay, and how much, is uncertain.
What has happened?
CHANCELLOR Gordon Brown plans a levy on ' preowned assets' -gifts from one person to another with strings attached. The move, announced alongside last month's Budget, was aimed at clamping down on those who try to pass a home to children while still living there. But many others will be caught.
Why does it matter?
TENS of thousands of families who took perfectly legitimate steps to reduce potential inheritance tax bills may now have to pay income tax on the assets they gave away. The tax is due from April 2005.
Who is affected?
THOSE who have given assets to others, either directly or through a special trust, but who continue to have some use from them. These assets include houses, art or antiques, or gifts of cash and shares.
The Inland Revenue says 35,000 people might be affected. But many more could be caught because the proposals are worded so broadly. In most cases, gifts will have been made through trusts, which might have to be unravelled, if they can be.
Margaret Jago, a tax expert with insurer Scottish Equitable International, says: 'It is unclear which trusts will be caught in this net and we don't yet know how income tax will be calculated.'
How much tax might I have to pay?
RULES are still being finalised. The tax charge is likely to work in a similar way to how 'benefit in kind' is calculated for employees.
If you gifted a house to children but continue to live there, you are likely to be taxed on the rent that house could command if let on the open market, minus an allowance for the growth in house prices since you made the gift.
For someone who gifted a £300,000 house ten years ago, which is now worth £600,000 and could be let for £2,000 each month, the assumed value would be £12,000 a year. A basic rate taxpayer would pay £2,640 a year and a top rate taxpayer's bill would be £4,800. A couple who made a gift jointly would share the bill.
What if I don't benefit from my gift?
THE definition of benefit will be the key point. Marcia Banner, a financial planning manager at Clerical Medical, says: 'A benefit might mean where someone takes an income from a trust. But it could also mean where someone has potential to draw assets from the trust. Everyone is in limbo.'
Barbara and Alan Taylor, who are both in their seventies and live near Blackpool, set up a trust last year through Scottish Equitable to try to pass on capital to their two sons. Alan, a former metallurgist, says: 'We are not taking income from the trust but the rules allow us to, so we could face a tax bill. It's all up in the air.'
How do I respond to the tax threat?
THERE are at least three choices. One is for givers to tell the Inland Revenue to assume they never made the gifts. That means the assets would remain part of their estates for inheritance tax, but no income tax would be charged. This option is open until January 2007.
Another choice is for givers to pay a fair price for using assets.
A third option is for older people simply to pay income tax. If someone expects to live for only a few years, the income tax is likely to be less than the inheritance tax paid by their heirs.
Mike Warburton, a partner with accountant Grant Thornton, says: 'My advice is to sit tight. It will probably be a year before the rules are finalised and it is more than two-and-a-half years before anyone has to hand over any tax. A lot can happen in that time.'
Is there anything to cheer about?
WHEN the Government floated the idea of the tax clampdown, it seemed that people who gave away money decades ago, with no intention of gain, could be penalised.
For example, a parent who helped a child buy their first home, then decades later moved in with that child, could have faced a tax bill.
But now it is clear that this will not happen. Transactions between spouses are not affected.

The southeast arm of Lake Malawi catchment has a wide range of natural resources that require prudent management for sustainability and maximisation of benefits. The current management practice is government sector based, with individual Departments and Ministries using their own policies, legislations and management approaches, yet dealing with the same composite resource and user communities. This has resulted in fragmentation of management leading to the lack of alignment between formal and informal institutions, and competition for power and authority for management. Fragmentation is also leading to loss of resource rent. This article analyses how and why management is fragmented in the southeast arm of Lake Malawi catchment and suggests how management could be defragmented, with special interest on fisheries. Activities with high negative impacts on fisheries include: overfishing; soil erosion resulting in siltation and turbidity of the lake; chemical and organic pollution; loss of access to land and beaches; and habitat loss. There is need for a better and more holistic understanding of how human activities represent both livelihood benefits and a threat to sustainability of natural resources to find ways for balancing these two aspects. We suggest that to increase the efficacy of management of Lake Malawi’s southeast arm will require ‘defragmented decentralization’, an approach whereby devolution of authority and responsibility are ceded to the district and local levels, respectively.

1. Heat a medium, heavy-bottom pot over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, then add the carrots, onions, bell pepper, thyme and barley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden-brown, about 18 minutes, taking care that the barley does not burn.
2. Stir in the vegetable broth and marinara. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
3. Cook until the barley is al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and zucchini, and season to taste with salt and pepper (the amount of seasoning needed will vary depending on the vegetable broth and marinara used). Cover and continue to simmer until the mushrooms and zucchini are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, thin if desired, and season again to taste, and serve. This makes about 2 1/2 quarts of soup.

When the Moon is in her first quarter phase, she is half full in the sky. At this time your creative energy is at its peak. Use this momentum to take action and manifest your New Moon intentions in tangible form. Stay focused on the target, and make sure each action fits your greater purpose. In other words, work smarter.
Once Upon A Time
there was a Babylonian goddess of the Moon and battle named Ishtar. Her love story with Tammuz is legendary. It begins with Ishtar’s decision to visit the realm of her sister, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld.
Ishtar dressed in the most beautifully adorned outfit. And when Ereshkigal hears that she is dressed so lovely, she assumes that her sister has come to conquer her realm. So she crafts a plan to literally strip Ishtar of her power.
As Ishtar descends through the underworld, she is forced to remove an item of clothing at each of the seven gates. In her vulnerability she is confronted with her greatest fears. When she finally arrives before her sister, Ishtar is naked, and Ereshkigal kills her.
Her death resulted in the ending of all sexual intimacy and fertility, until she was revived that is. Upon returning to the upper realm, Ishtar sees her lover dressed to the nines and relaxing on a throne without an ounce of sadness for her death. Furious, she orders her band of demons to take him away.

As I have described in earlier posts such as Gord Downie: Canadian Musical Psychopath, The Tragically Hip’s front man is a bit of a maniac on stage. Being up close and personal with him at the Country of Miracles show last year gave me an appreciation for his lunacy in an intimate setting. I had yet to witness the full blown frenetic schism that he becomes when teamed up with massive electric guitar power and the chest thumping bass drum that collectively form The Tragically Hip.
Gord aping about as The Hip take the stage
For those of you, who have not seen The Hip live, trust me this is not one of those overproduced, lip synced cookie cutter perfect types of shows. Everything, I repeat everything is live. From Gord going wildly off topic in the middle of a song, ranting and raging about anything from sports, politics or inventing a new story on the spot. Thursday’s performance was no different in those regards.

Since demand has been so high for more from last Thursday’s show featuring Gord Downie and The Country of Miracles, I thought it fitting to just shut up and let some of the pictures I took do the talking for a change.
In Line Before the Show
For anyone who is a fan of The Tragically Hip the title of this post should come as no surprise. For the rest of you, sit back as I try to capture the spirit of a Canadian poet, songwriter, musician, wise man and raving lunatic.

I had the great fortune of being offered a ticket to see Gord Downie and his new band The Country of Miracles last night in concert. For the record I am a fan of The Tragically Hip and have been so since I first heard the song Little Bones, off the Road Apples album in the early 90’s. The catchy lyrics and rocking beat lead me to other tracks such as 50 Mission Cap, New Orleans is Sinking

Leave no dog behind.
If your dog drops it like it's hot, please pick it up.
If you spot a deuce—even if it’s not your dog’s—it can't hurt to help out by picking it up.
Poop bags and designated bins are located along the perimeter of the park. and on most tables.
Remember: It might not be your dog that did it, but it is a dog from the community you are a part of and we appreciate the efforts to keep the place clean & safe for everyone.
Pick it up.
These special breeds of humans are here for one thing: to maintain safety inside the park. It’s important not to think of them as babysitters and rather as an extra set of eyes trained to read canine body language cues in order to help prevent any incidents between dogs.
There can often be multiple factors at play during an incident, so please don’t take it personally if a Rufferee singles out your dog(s) or asks you to give them a time out while the energy in the park deescalates.
We encourage you to keep laptop use to a minimum while in the park in an effort to maintain a social atmosphere and ensure you always keep an eye on your pup(s).
Please be mindful of your volume if you’re making calls.
We ask that all screen time be kept to a maximum of 90 minutes within the park.

..yes, and they're about to monopolize even more of "public" airwaves:
FCC Set to Ease Media Consolidation Rules "The Federal Communications Commission appears poised to push through relaxed media consolidation rules that a federal appeals court has previously overturned. A statement from FCC chair Julius Genachowski has called for a vote to "streamline and modernize media ownership rules, including eliminating outdated prohibitions on newspaper-radio and TV-radio cross-ownership."

We are also joined by Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, which investigates working conditions in factories around the world. In comparison to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire in New York City, Nova says, “It really is an extraordinary achievement, in an ironic sense, that the U.S. apparel industry has managed to replicate early 20th century conditions that were so brutal and cruel to workers now again here in 2012 in factories in places like Bangladesh. It is a shameful record for the U.S. apparel industry … And hopefully this horror will finally galvanize a global push for genuine reform of the labor practices of the big brands and retailers. Akter speaks directly to shoppers, saying, “Consumers can play a big role because they are the most powerful player in the supply chain.".............

Belville developing Vision 2030 plan to revitalize downtown, expand riverwalk
BELVILLE, N.C. (WECT) - The growth in southeastern North Carolina is well documented, and now one small town is ready to get in on the action.
Belville is putting together “Vision 2030,” a plan that includes a riverfront hotel and convention center, with hopes to revitalize the downtown area.
Mayor Mike Allen says much of the downtown space is empty today besides an area owned by the N.C. Department of Transportation. The town is working on a deal to take over that land and re-purpose it to create a space that Allen compared to Wilmington’s Mayfaire area.
The town is already talking with developers interested in making that vision a reality and is even working on a plan to establish a taxi service between Wilmington and Belville. It’s all in hopes that one day, Belville’s riverfront will be a destination spot.
“You can shop, eat, ride on the river if you want to, take a ride over to Wilmington if you’d like to and just enjoy yourself,” said Allen. “Get out of your car and if you want to stay out of it all day, you can.”
There’s still a long road ahead of Belville before that 2030 plan is realized and it will be a few months before projects can even get underway.
Once the public comment period ends August 30, the town will announce its final plans sometime next month. Until then, you can share your thoughts on Vision 2030 on the town’s website.

Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control group spearheaded by billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has officially declared victory just one day after launching its campaign to get Chipotle to change its policy on customers carrying guns in its restaurants.
Everytown issued a statement Monday in reponse to reports some customers brandished large rifles in at least one of Chipotle's Texas locations last weekend. In the statement, Everytown demanded the Mexican food chain create a "clear policy prohibiting guns in restaurants." Hours later, Chipotle announced it will request customers keep their guns at home from now on.
In an email to supporters Tuesday, Everytown celebrated what it described as a new era of safety at burrito joints.
"This is a crucial victory for our movement -- not only because we can now feel safer to enjoy a burrito in Chipotle, but because it sends a message to business owners everywhere that the safety of their customers must come first," the email said.
Along with the statement, the email contained an image of a burrito with "VICTORY" written underneath it.
"Victories like these only occur because of the power of this movement and the actions of dedicated supporters like you," it continued. "Thank you for being a part of our work. It really is making a difference."
Despite its new gun policy, Chipotle insists it is a neutral party in the Second Amendment debate.
"We always welcome the exchange of ideas and opinions: it is one of the many things that make our country such a special place," Chipotle said in a lengthy statement yesterday. "But this issue is not central to the operation of our business, and we do not feel that our restaurants should be used as a platform for either side of the debate."

Radish and Buckwheat Salad
One of my favourite seeds is Buckwheat, not be be confused with a grain or the fact that it is not wheat – yes confusing I know.. anyway it is super healthy and is great in a salad. One I throw together during the summer months is the Radish and Buckwheat Salad – ingredients: Buckwheat (cooked according to the packet) fresh sliced radish, freshly shucked and lightly cooked peas, mint, a little goats cheese crumbled over and fresh pomegranate! Its clean, fresh and super easy and good for you! Pomegranate is a Middle Eastern Fruit and they say it is effective against heart disease, high bloody pressure and inflammation. It is also a great source of fibre and contains vitamin A, C, E and Iron..I love the flavor and the little crunch when you bite into it!!


Competing fast-food franchise Pedros took a dig at Nandos after they terminated its five-year sponsorship deal with Gareth Cliff’s The Burning Platform show. Nandos released a statement on Saturday, October 23, indicating that the termination of the sponsorship comes after Cliff made inappropriate comments regarding Mudzuli Rakhivhane’s experience with racism.
The statement said that “Nandos supports healthy debate and the right to freedom of speech. For this reason, we have for years invested in supporting in multiple platforms that enable one discussion of big issues facing South Africans.”
— NandosSA (@NandosSA) October 23, 2021
Cliff’s comments sparked outrage all over social media as the Chief Audience Officer of the Independent Media Group and Editor-in-Chief of IOL, Lance Witten, said in a powerful statement, “Don’t you dare assume that my lived experience or the lived experience of other people of colour can be seen through your sanitised lens. Don’t you dare assume that race and identity politics doesn’t affect absolutely every aspect of my life and every sphere of my existence.”
However, Pedros took to social media to say that “The whole nation is welcome at Pedros. We don’t do politics.. Just Great Chicken at Great Prices!”
Now, thats spicy…

Today all the place in and around the city, the vehicular traffic and the streets were found to be empty. Even the busiest of the streets lacked pedestrians and had negligible traffic. All the grocery stores, stationery shops including the showrooms were shut down in support of the No Petrol Day.
The citizen’s whole heartedly supported the No Petrol Day and was keen on the change of the rising petrol, diesel and LPG prices. The No Petrol Day was a protest against the people who were reluctant to accept the risen prices of petrol, diesel and LPG gas cylinders. We are amongst the 23000 rickshaws and taxis which decided to go off the road today.
As the rickshaw’s drivers had a “Bandh” and places like College road, Nashik road, Trimbak road, Gangapur Road, Mumbai Agra Road and many others were often the major traffic is due to the rickshaws was not were found to be empty today. Also most of the shops, showrooms and various stores were shut down which led the people to sit at home and led to an increase in the emptiness even at the busiest of roads.
Many working people, students and other citizens had a problem in travelling to their destinations. The people which do not have their own vehicles and the students were the most affected ones because of the “Bandh” which was in support of the No Petrol day.
We hope that no such days occur and the people and the government come to a mutual solution and no one should face any such problems in the future.

Pre launch reading from The Syndicate
Hi! My 4th novel, The Syndicate, is due to be published on July 9th. Normally I’d be planning to visit reading groups in person but for obvious reasons that’s not possible at the moment. Maybe this short extract from early on in the book will make up for it. Hope to see you all again soon. Please stay safe.
I hope you enjoy it! Graham.
M is for Murphy, Leon. Father of Jessica. Kavanagh feels he can eke out some sort of justification for most things Maurice has asked him to do. One night in March 1999 will change that perception forever. N is for No Witnesses. No exceptions. The instructions are...
The CWA came up with the engaging idea of asking their members to post a short video to lift the spirits of readers during the C-19 lockdown. We were asked to say what we’ve been doing while we’ve been shut away, maybe show the space where we actually do our writing,...
As part of the preparations for the publication of my fourth novel, The Syndicate, I was asked by The CWA to take part in a question and answer session. If you’re interested, you’ll find it here: I hope you enjoy it! Graham.Related Articles


The Lost Notes are a five-piece folk band based in Moseley, Birmingham and they are releasing our first album of thirteen original folk/country tracks on December 2nd.
The Lost Notes write about things that matter. Like the perils of one night stands and plastic surgery, the plight of bankers, greaseballs, snakes, Greco-Roman health and safety failings, mules, mermaids and the downright miserable. They are a 5-piece band based in Moseley, Birmingham, UK, where politics, revelry, misery and glee abound. It makes for a great night out. They write songs for chin-strokers, foot-stompers, head-nodders and those who like to partake in the dark art of inarticulate dancing and hollering. It happens. And they love it. All delivered in glorious three part harmonies. All on “The Lost Notes: Run Free Right Now,” together with tales of Sheikhs, taxmen, dead men and caterwauls. They have built up a loyal fan base through performances at places such as Moseley Folk Festival, The Glee Club, Kitchen Garden Cafe, The Blue Piano, The Tower of Song, Ort Cafe, The Red Lion Folk Club and Bromsgrove Folk Club and Festival.
Over 15,000 views of their recent performance on The Narrowboat Sessions!.
“A highlight…were Moseley band The Lost Notes. They…drew a huge crowd for their fast-paced set that was high on fun and audience engagement.” (Moseley Folk Festival Review)

Police departments across the Region... including Indiana State Police Lowell Post... Lake, Porter, Newton County Sheriffs Departments... Schererville Police and Valparaiso Police.... just to name a few are joining law enforcement agencies around the country taking part in the Drug Enforcement Administration's 6th National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 27, 10 am to 2 pm local time. The Drug Enforcement Administration says it's a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.
In the five previous Take-Back events, DEA in conjunction with state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners have collected more than 2 million pounds (1,018 tons) of prescription medications were removed from circulation.
The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications.

In some moments Grasse can really feel a bit like Fragonard Town. A fairly large part of the old town is dominated by Fragonard’s museum and various shops offering not only fragrance but also clothes and linen. My impression is that their business seems to be going quite well.
|Of course. And it rhymes.|
It is unquestionable that the Fragonard family do take their role as providers of knowledge about the perfume making history very seriously. I decided to save the Fragonard museum for my last Saturday in Grasse and took not one but two tours – one in Italian and one in English. As a former tourist guide and more recently communications and marketing professional I was very interested to see how the guides of Fragonard tell the story, what tools they use and how they incorporate sales into then tour. I also had the privilege of getting some VIP guidance through the range from my friend Daniela who works there.
The Fragonard factory tour is really well-designed. There are only guided tours, no walking around on your own, so anyone who visits is more or less guaranteed to leave with more knowledge. During the tour the guides use pedagogic graphics, scents, interactive moments and go through rooms that really give the visitors the feeling of getting a backstage perspective. Very well-organised all this. The tour ends with an olfactive test where everyone guesses what notes can be found in some of the fragrances offered in the gift shop. Very clever.
|Enormous raw material bottles to smell during the tour – fun!|
|Étoile – a nice fresh fragrance that I ended up buying.|
At entry level there is the obligatory history of perfume exhibition. In comparison to the one at the International Perfume Museum next door this one is lighter and more focused on objects. I like them both, as I wrote in an earlier post I found the International Museum very informative and ambitious. In both places there are some truly exquisite objects to admire. After these two collections I am now rather obsessed with antique perfume flaçons… Especially 19th century. I leave you with some favorites of mine from the Fragonard collection.
If you see something like this at an auction do please let me know?

How a lot forest is left on the planet?
The world has 4.06 billion remaining hectares of forests, in response to the lately launched key findings of the International Forest Assets Evaluation 2020. Of this space, solely about 1.11 billion hectares are major forests, or native forests that stay largely undisturbed by people
Will people die with out bushes?
With out bushes, all of us die. Apart from offering oxygen for us to breathe, bushes make life on earth sustainable. Uncover what is going on to the world’s bushes and why we urgently must cease mindless deforestation. Bushes have an effect on every part from the air we breathe to the rain that falls from the sky.
What number of bushes are left on the planet?
3.04 trillion bushes
What number of bushes are lower down every second?
Yearly from 2011-2015 about 20 million hectares of forest was lower down. Then issues began to hurry up. Since 2016, a mean of 28 million hectares have been lower down yearly. That is one soccer area of forest misplaced each single second across the clock.
What number of bushes are within the World 2020?
Crowther discovered that there are roughly 3.04 trillion bushes exist on the planet as we speak–a mind-boggling quantity, particularly in contrast with earlier estimates that had not but guessed the Earth had even a half-trillion bushes.
How do people have an effect on deforestation?
For probably the most half, human exercise is guilty for deforestation, although pure disasters do play a job. Logging, or reducing down bushes in a forest to reap timber for wooden, merchandise or gasoline, is a major driver of deforestation. Logging impacts the atmosphere in a number of methods.
Which nation has probably the most bushes 2020?
International distribution of forests displaying the ten nations with the biggest forest space, 2020 (million hectares and % of world’s forest)
- Russian Federation.
- United States of America.
- Democratic Republic of the Congo.
How does Bushes have an effect on local weather change?
Bushes take in carbon dioxide (CO2) throughout photosynthesis, by which they use daylight to transform that CO2 into the sugars and vitality they should develop. Planting bushes may due to this fact assist mitigate local weather breakdown, since they take in CO2 as they develop, and the carbon stays saved till the wooden decomposes or is burnt.
What if everybody planted a tree?
Bushes take carbon dioxide out of the air and launch oxygen – making them a pure supply of carbon seize. Planting 1.2 trillion extra bushes may seize as much as 160 gigatonnes of CO2, on high of the 400 gigatonnes captured by all our present bushes
Will we ever run out of bushes?
That truly suggests a slightly dire estimate, that deforestation has been occurring at a steadily growing fee to the purpose that operating out of bushes, at the least within the sense of serious forests and long-term, “previous” development forests, may fully disappear in a foreseeable future.
What’s Deforestation its causes and results?
Deforestation will be outlined because the large-scale removing of bushes from forests (or different lands) for the facilitation of human actions. It’s a critical environmental concern because it may end up in the lack of biodiversity, harm to pure habitats, disturbances within the water cycle, and soil erosion
How does deforestation have an effect on local weather change?
When bushes are lower down and burned or allowed to rot, their saved carbon is launched into the air as carbon dioxide. And that is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to world warming.
Is deforestation the primary reason behind local weather change?
Deforestation is a major contributor to local weather change. Land use modifications, particularly within the type of deforestation, are the second largest anthropogenic supply of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions, after fossil gasoline combustion.
What are the most important causes of deforestation?
Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural growth, wooden extraction (e.g., logging or wooden harvest for home gasoline or charcoal), and infrastructure growth resembling highway constructing and urbanization. Not often is there a single direct trigger for deforestation

Headline on Drudge this afternoon: “Obama Lit Agent Shocker: ‘Born in
Kenya and Raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.’ ” It links to a story in
Breitbart showing a full photo of President Obama in a brochure by Acton
& Dystel, said to be a literary agency, printed in 1991. Beneath
Obama’s picture it states: “Barack ObamaBarack ObamaFormer Defense chief: Trump's handling of national security 'dysfunctional' Priebus, Wallace clash over media coverage of Trump Rand Paul: We’re very lucky John McCain’s not in charge MORE, the first African-American
president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in
Indonesia and Hawaii.” The brochure was advancing a book, apparently by
Obama, titled Journeys in Black and White.
And Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth WarrenAT&T, Time Warner defend deal Scott Brown being considered for ambassador to New Zealand: report Warren: Trump's EPA pick the 'attorney general for Exxon' MORE thought she had problems. My first guess is that if the brochure is legitimate, the then-unknown Obama was tailoring a perhaps fanciful literary persona to make a larger impression. There is as yet no other evidence available that he was actually born in Kenya.
Even if this was the case and the brochure went out with Obama’s approval, it would diminish his cachet and credibility. But of course if it is true, it would force Obama to leave the presidency.
