A dog breed with royalty in his name? You know he’s gotta be good! But don’t let the regal roots and AKC Toy Group status fool you… Sure, he loves being treated like a king (aka, getting snuggles and belly rubs). But he also enjoys an adventure!
The Cavalier isn’t picky so long as he’s with you!
Which is something King Charles II clearly appreciated. It’s said he never went anywhere without at least three of his namesake Cavaliers in tow!
Well, there’s a lot more King-Charles-canine gossip where that came from.
From the Renaissance times, toy spaniels were highly prized among European royalty. So it’s no surprise that King Charles II was attracted to these types of dogs, as well.
In particular, Charles II favored a black and tan variety of spaniel. Which of course later came to be known as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
So why is the breed named after King Charles II?
Well, for one, he very clearly loved these dogs. So much that he took them everywhere he went, as you already know.
But more than just liking the breed, Charles II was actually quite OBSESSED with these dogs.
Rumor has it that King Charles II was much more concerned with breeding and caring for his precious Cavalier King Charles Spaniels than he was with actually ruling England.
Don’t get me wrong, dogs are great. But a king’s top priority should probably be running his nation. But of course that’s just my opinion.
Either way, his obsession with these toy spaniels lives on in the breed’s name to this day.
Despite the breed’s long history in England, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is relatively new to the United States. The first Cavalier was introduced in 1956, but the breed as a whole wasn’t recognized by the AKC until 1995.
Are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Good Family Dogs?
Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are great family dogs!
In fact, they thrive in a family. To them, the bigger the family, the more laps to sit on and kids to play with!
That’s right: the Cavalier is an expert at loving children. Despite being a lap dog, this breed loves to play and learn tricks, so older kids are definitely a go.
As for younger children, you’ll just need to make sure that your Cavalier is handled appropriately. Cavalier puppies are especially small and can be easily hurt by well-intentioned toddlers.
As for living situations, the Cavalier is adaptable. Of course he’d love a yard to romp around in. But the breed is known for being a good apartment dog assuming he gets a daily walk and some playtime.
While owning a Cavalier can be rewarding for the whole family, it’s important to understand how to care for the breed before bringing one home.
As with any dog, Cavaliers have a few basic needs that you’ll have to provide for. These include nutrition, grooming, exercise, training, and health.
And lots of lap snuggles and attention!
Cavaliers need a balanced diet of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to stay healthy.
Of course the amount of food this breed needs is determined by activity level, metabolism, age, and overall health.
But as a general rule, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should eat between ½ to 1 cup of high-quality dog food each day.
You should feed your pup twice daily on a schedule, dividing his daily portion into two meals. Don’t leave food out for your dog all the time as this doesn’t allow you to watch how much he is eating.
For further reference, you should check out the guide listed on your dog’s food bag. You may also want to talk to your veterinarian about exactly how much your individual dog should be eating.
Again, several factors affect feeding amounts, and each individual dog is different. But these tips should give you a good starting point.
Grooming a Cavalier isn’t too difficult, but it does require a fairly regular routine.
For starters, you’ll need to brush or comb your pup at least three to four times a week. You should pay extra attention to the feathered hair on your dog’s ears and legs. These areas are prone to matting, so you’ll want to gently comb out any tangles on a regular basis.
The breed is an average shedder, but tends to shed more in the spring and fall. More frequent brushing during these times of the year will help control the extra fur.
Cavaliers don’t require any special clipping to maintain their fancy looks. But some owners do opt to tidy up their pup with a quick trim every so often. It’s up to you!
One thing that isn’t optional, however, are your dog’s paw pads. You’ll need to trim the hair in between your pup’s pads to help him maintain traction. Otherwise he’ll be constantly sliding around on your hardwood floors!
Beyond that, the Cavalier will need the grooming care required by all breeds:
- Brush his teeth at least once a week to keep him healthy.
- Trim his nails.
- Bathe him when he gets dirty.
- And check the ears regularly for signs of irritation or infection.
That last bullet point, ear-checking, is especially important with Cavaliers. Those floppy ears are super cute, but they are more prone to infection since air can’t circulate as well in the ear canal.
Just something to keep in mind!
The Cavalier King Charles is fairly adaptable when it comes to exercise needs, as he will generally match his own activity level to yours.
Still, every dog needs some form of exercise, and the Cavalier is no exception!
The breed will benefit from a daily walk as well as some indoor and outdoor playtime. So grab a ball and play fetch, clip on a leash and go for a stroll, or just send your dog and kids into the yard to tire each other out.
While every Cavalier loves some good ol’ physical activity, you’ll need to make sure your pup doesn’t get too tired. Cavaliers have a shorter nose than other breeds, so they are more prone to overheating.
To avoid issues, provide cold water and shade when outdoors and avoid walking your Cavalier during the hottest parts of the day.
Training a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is fairly easy, compared to other breeds. This breed is very eager to please and learns quickly.
Positive reinforcement training works wonders with this breed. Cavaliers love getting rewarded with affection (as well as treats), so use that to your advantage.
Keep in mind that the breed does not respond well to harsh punishment, so you’ll want to make training a good experience for your pup. Otherwise, you could end up with a dog that is simply too afraid to take action.
With proper training, though, the Cavalier will make an excellent pet and even therapy dog. The breed also excels in various canine sports, including obedience and agility.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Health Issues
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a generally healthy breed with an average lifespan between 9 and 14 years of age.
Still, Cavaliers are prone to certain conditions and diseases:
- Patella luxation
- Hip dysplasia
- Ear infections
- Mitral valve heart disease
- Syringomyelia (a neurological condition)
- Episodic falling
- Dry eye
- Retinal dysplasia
- Progressive retinal atrophy
Things to Know Before Getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
1. The Very Attached Family Dog
We already know that the Cavalier is an excellent family dog, so what more is there to say?
Well, you should probably know that the Cavalier is not the type of dog to pick a favorite family member. He’s the type that will love every member of the family with enthusiasm.
So try not to be too jealous if your Cavalier ditches you for a bit and instead decides to follow around someone else in the family. He’s just spreading the puppy-dog love!
2. Separation Anxiety
But all that love and doggy cuteness is going to cost you.
Since Cavaliers live to love their people, they tend to get very depressed and anxious when left alone. This separation anxiety can also lead to other issues, such as excessive barking and destructive behaviors. Not to mention a very lonely and sad dog.
That considered, you should only get a Cavalier if you live in a home where at least one person is home most of the day. So if you stay home with the kids, work from home, or are retired then the Cavalier is definitely a dog to consider.
Otherwise, you may want to look at some other breeds.
3. Everybody’s Best Friend
Being family-oriented isn’t the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s only trait. He’s also stranger-oriented, dog-oriented, cat-oriented…
I think you get the idea.
Basically this dog is an all-around lover of just about anything that breathes. (Okay, except for the occasional squirrel or enticing-looking bird). But really. The Cavalier loves everybody.
He generally does very well with other dogs, cats, and even other types of pets when introduced properly. So if you’re thinking about making a Cavalier part of your multi-pet home, then chances are you’re in for some success.
As for new people, he will probably make friends before you can even introduce yourself. So don’t be surprised if new acquaintances know your dog by name weeks before they’ve learned yours!
4. Not a Backyard Only Dog
I hope it goes without saying, but I’d better make it clear anyways: the Cavalier was never meant to live alone out in the yard.
Remember that bit about separation anxiety? Yeah, not good. So please be prepared to let your Cavalier live inside alongside you like the real family member he is.
Also, keep in mind the breed’s tendency to overheat. Just another reason to not leave him in the yard for extended periods of time.
While the house needs to be your Cavalier’s permanent home, your pooch will definitely love some good ol’ backyard time every now and then.
If you’re lucky enough to have a fenced yard, take advantage of it. Go out and play ball with your pup or let him run around and smell things for a bit. He’ll be grateful for the opportunity to expend some of his energy.
5. Not a Great Watch Dog
Since your Cavalier wants to make best friends with everybody he meets, he clearly won’t make the best watch dog.
Sure, he’ll bark when the doorbell rings or when he sees the postman through the window. But his watch dog abilities end about there. After you’ve let the new person in, he’ll be all tail wags and tongue slurps.
That is, unless your pup is a tad on the shy side. In which case there may be a few seconds’ delay before his will-you-be-my-friend dance begins.
But even still, not great watch dog material.
6. An Easily Distracted Dog
Remember how I said Cavaliers love everything except squirrels and birds?
Well, I lied.
Cavaliers love squirrels and birds. They love them quite a lot, actually. Specifically when they get to chase them.
Don’t get me wrong–the Cavalier is a people-pleaser. But he also suffers from a fairly short attention span and a desire to run after things.
One minute, he could be nicely heeling by your side as you walk around the park. The next, he could be off chasing after that pesky little squirrel.
So make sure you’re prepared for such situations. Because your Cavalier will get distracted and could take off without a moment’s notice.
Sounds scary, but it doesn’t have to be with the proper precautions. Just be sure to always keep your pup leashed in unfenced areas.
7. Mr. Popular
Perhaps it’s his dashing good looks or his affectionate and sweet personality, but the Cavalier is very popular in the United States.
In fact, he ranks in the top 20. So if you’re looking to get a Cavalier, then welcome to the club! Chances are there’s several hundred other future owners across the United States also wanting this sweet pup. And there’s already who-knows-how-many people snuggling up with their little Cavalier buddy right now.
So keep doing your research, and if he seems like a good fit for you, then don’t be afraid to join the party!
After all, the Cavalier’s in the top 20 for a reason.
8. The Wiggle Monster
If you’ve ever seen a Cavalier happily curled up in his owner’s lap, you might assume that he doesn’t have a wiggly bone in his body.
But guess again!
When meeting new people, wanting to go on a walk, or greeting you after the whole five minutes it took you to take out the trash–this dog is gonna wiggle. And he’s gonna wiggle real hard, too!
Sure, his tail will wag. That’s a given. But chances are his entire behind is going to be dancing around, too.
And his ears. Don’t forget about those. Because they’re going to be whipping around at a hundred miles an hour as he wiggles with excitement!
Here’s a small sample of what the famous Cavalier happy wiggle looks like:
If you plan on feeding wet food or giving your pup an extra messy snack, then you’ll want to invest in a snood.
A snood–it’s a stretchy bit of cloth that’s basically shaped like a donut. It goes around the dog’s head to cover up and hold those long silky ears in place.
Yeah, I would be too–it’s hard to explain. Just check out the video:
It looks a bit silly (aka, adorable). But trust me. You’re probably going to want one.
Or at the very least, you’ll want to gently tie up your dog’s ears with a scrunchy during mealtimes.
Another alternative is the Spaniel bowl, which is designed to keep your pup’s ears from dangling around in the bowel’s contents.
Either route you take, you’re going to want to give it some thought. Because adorable feathered ears aren’t nearly as adorable when they’re caked in last night’s dinner.
10. Grinch Feet
Okay, here goes. Somebody’s gotta say it:
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have Grinch feet.
But don’t worry–their paws aren’t green (unless your pup romped through freshly cut grass)…
And they’re not smelly or gross (unless your pup stepped in a tad bit of doggy doo-doo)…
And they don’t mean that your precious pup is a grump that hates holidays!
Phew. Well, now that that’s all cleared up, what are Grinch feet?
Simply said, they’re paws that look twice as long thanks to the tufts of hair growing on the tops of your dog’s feet.
They’re adorable in a little-kid-wearing-mommy’s-shoes sort of way. And they’re part of the AKC show standard for the breed.
So don’t hate on those cute, funny-looking, fuzzy Grinch feet!
Though, of course, if you prefer neatly trimmed paws that don’t get quite so tangled and messy, you’re welcome to de-Grinch your pup.
A quick trim and a regular touch up around the paws will do the trick. The choice is yours really, so long as you don’t plan on showing your Cavalier in the ring.
11. What Are My Color Options?
When it comes to Cavalier King Charles coat color options, you’ve got exactly four to choose from:
- Black and tan,
- And ruby.
All are quite regal and very adorable, so you can’t go wrong no matter which color of pup you pick.

KARACHI: People world over are gearing up for celebrations and expression of solidarity on International Women’s Day that is held on March 8. In Pakistan, the celebrations are going to be second to none, with perhaps the most anticipated event being Aurat March.
Being organised independently under the name “Hum Aurtain” (Us women), individual women have come together to raise voice and march for women’s rights to be held in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore today. In Karachi, it will be held at Frere Hall and the procession is expected to take off at 3:30pm, followed by a program with notable speakers and performances. In Lahore and Islamabad, the procession will take place at the cities’ press club.
As exciting as all that sounds, reality is that many supporters — young and old alike — will not be able to make it to the gathering. Life happens to everybody, right? It’s ok though. There are many worthy ways you can fight the “FOMO” (or the feelings of missing out as the millennial calls it) by engaging in the struggle for women’s rights:
1. Educate yourself
Look up the meanings of words and terms like patriarchy and toxic masculinity. Learn how there is no such thing as “reverse sexism” and “gender card” or “woman card”. March 8 is the day to questions and Google everything that makes you want to refrain from calling yourself a feminist.
2. Empower women in your family
Change begins from home. If somebody in your family is dependent on a man for taking her around, speak up for her. Rally the family into getting her a driver’s licence, or a motorcycle licence. There is no reason an adult should not be able to drive herself around.
3. Call out sexist friends and colleagues
Women’s day is usually the day most sexist people Google when international men’s day is celebrated. You will likely be faced with a ton of sexist commentary on March 8, be it at home or at work or within your friends’ circle. Call these people out, in whatever tone or manner you deem fit, but address it. Conversation is the only way forward.
4. Take charge of social media
Speaking of conversation, internet is a great place to engage with people about a human rights’ issue. Research suggests that 18% of Pakistan’s population has access to internet and smartphones. What goes on on the social media platforms molds the mindset of people.
By engaging in meaningful conversation in the comment sections, you can make a difference if even one person learns something from it. Maybe that person will be you.
You can also pour in supportive comments for women who are trying to make a change and break patriarchal norms.
5. Read books written by women
If you are not particularly feeling like you can deal with people online or offline, you can celebrate International Women’s Day by reading a book written by a feminist author. Read works by Maya Angelou, Roxane Gay, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Arundhati Roy.
Give Umera Ahmed’s novels a rest though, unless you can critically pick her writings apart keeping the feminist ideals in mind.
6. Watch films made on women, by women
If you couldn’t make it to the march during the day, you can gather your friends, order pizza and watch a great movie on a women’s issue. There is some brilliant work out there surrounding women’s rights, both in Hollywood and Bollywood. There are some great shows on Netflix as well, such as GLOW and Grace and Frankie if you’re in the mood of watching something witty but empowering.
7. Watch TED Talks by women
TED lectures are one of the best resources to dig into if you want to learn about different issues surrounding feminism and women’s rights. There are many stimulating TED Talks given by women overtime, including Pakistani women like digital rights expert Nighat Dad and political activist Shad Begum.
8. Have chai at a dhaba
Walk to the dhaba in your neighbourhood and have chai there. Simply go sit there and enjoy a sultry cup of hot tea, and watch people. As a woman, it is an act of rebellion and resilience, which is why the impact of your choice feels strong to yourself and other people. As a man, if you can encourage the women around you to join you for a cup of tea, that would be amazing.
Women should be able to relax and enjoy themselves in a public space past sunset, beyond class divides. Fresh air and chai is for everybody.
If you are financially capable, donate to a local charity or any charity, for that matter, that is working on a women’s rights cause. You can donate to The Citizens Foundation (TCF) or Zindagi Trust to support a girl’s right to education. Internationally, The Malala Fund is an avenue to consider as the foundation is engaged in capacity building of disenfranchised women worldwide.

CHICAGO (STMW) – A 59-year-old Alabama man charged with the murder of a 17-year-old boy last summer in the Far South Side Roseland neighborhood was denied bond Saturday.
Parker Jackson, 59, of Montgomery, Ala., was charged with first-degree murder, police said.
The teen was walking on the sidewalk in the 10700 block of South Wentworth Avenue at 9:43 p.m. July 4 when he was shot in the left side of the chest, police said.
Officers found the boy lying on the ground when they responded to a call of a person shot at 9:43 p.m., police said.
Martel Field, 17, of the 200 block of West 107th Place, was dead on the scene according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
Jackson was denied bail in bond court Saturday.
His next court date is scheduled for Monday.

Providing a really unique experience in the hotel business is a challenging task. The higher cost and quality rise, the more difficult it gets for hotels to differentiate themselves from others. Now, how do they achieve it anyway? First and foremost, a 4 or 5 star hotel must provide the service and quality you´d expect, forming a base. But only through paying great attention to detail and trying (sometimes daring) to implement something new, one may achieve truly unique features. The 25hours hotel chain is a prime example of this endeavour. Each of its seven branches features an individual interior design, inspired by the city and surroundings it is located in. However, 'individualized' would be quite an understatement for its dreamy, playful and sometimes even crazy designs. The 25hours hotel at Museumsquartier in Vienna found its inspiration within the sensations and shows of the traditional circus, the Wiener Prater. It is surreal and surprising; a place that plays with fantasies. Needless to say, this does not meet everybody´s taste - 25hours hotels consciously wager to polarize. Having supplied all fixed and loose furniture, we certainly hope that you enjoy your stay in the madhouse!

the stage looks awsome
fucking amazing production quality, cant wait to see what type of led picture screen they have above the ring this year with it being tied into the hell in a cell
I like how this year fans are able to sit above/behind the stage.
Mostly because they would actually be able to see over the stage, unlike last year.
And I have front row seats, to excited to sleep. I can’t wait!
That is probably one of the best looking stages I’ve seen for Wrestlemania, clearly rivals WM24 stage. Looks really awesome.
Their set design team really knock it out of the park each year.
I for one can’t wait to see for they come up with for WM30, I have feeling it’s going to be fantastic.
That a cool stage and the stage too

Making nature: Extinct Tasmanian plants
thesisposted on 2023-05-26, 09:02 authored by Glade-Wright, RE
The capacity of art to communicate my concern regarding the extinction of plant life in Tasmania is the subject of my investigation. Extinct plants distil and foreshadow my broader concerns for the future of all living entities. The plants that are lost due to extinction are often the silent victims of our land use practices. Making nature: Extinct Tasmanian plants, is an installation of art works that commemorate the extinction of twenty two Tasmanian plants. The art works take the form of embroidered wreaths, funeral urns and a memorial board. My aim in creating the art work is to encourage reflection regarding the role that members of our society have played in the loss of these plants. We may unwittingly be contributing to extinction and thereby ‚àö¬¢vîv¿Œ©vîv¿Œ©making nature‚àö¬¢vîv¿Œ©vîv¿Œ© in the process. A part of my motivation for creating this body of work has been to highlight the grief I feel when I learn that a plant species has been extinguished. My objective has been to represent the extinct plants in a manner that may elicit an experience of beauty amongst the viewers of my art. Beauty has the potential to arouse meaningful connections between the viewer and the plants, whereas, extinction eradicates that possibility and destroys the prospect of relationships between living things. Therefore, my use of beauty in the art work is subversive, because I am not seeking to provide pleasure; I have sought, instead, to generate a sense of anguish due to the loss of these plants. My investigative work draws associations with the art of Andy Warhol, Gregory Pryor, Janet Laurence, Fiona Hall and Christian Boltanski. Significant aspects of their work are discussed in relation to issues that I have examined in my art, including extinction, beauty and loss. Theories that examine the idea of beauty, including the reasons why it matters to us and how it affects us are explored. I argue that in the presence of beauty we can be moved to critical reflection. Such aesthetic and cognitive judgements surrounding beauty may lead to a greater awareness of the human impact on the natural environment. The project makes a contribution to the field of visual art through the theoretical examination of beauty in the context of contemporary arts practice. This visual work makes a contribution to knowledge by testing the capacity of art to create a commemorative site for reflection about the impact of extinction in Tasmania.

A former piano teacher from Leicestershire has been found guilty of indecently assaulting a schoolboy.
The jury at Leicester Crown Court convicted 67-year-old Michael Pooley of nine counts which took place between 1984-1992.
The court was told Pooley, from Kings Road in Oakham, made the boy sit on his knee during piano lessons.
It was alleged the child accepted it as normal behaviour and did not tell his parents at the time.
The prosecution alleged Pooley gained the trust of the family and told the boy not to say anything to anyone or he would go to prison.
Mr Pooley has maintained his innocence, insisting he had a normal relationship with the boy.
But he was found guilty by the jury and has been remanded in custody by Judge Hugh Mayor until he is sentenced in January.


[Click on band name for samples and more info]
Alunah - Awakening the Forest (Napalm)
This English quartet cranks out some fantastic doom with sultry female vocals on their 3rd full-length release. Shifting between crushing doom riffs and psychedelic breaks, the band reminds me a lot of Subrosa, who are also fantastic. Somehow this band has flown under my radar for the past five years. I think it’s time to rectify that egregious error and check out the back catalog.
Lo-Pan - Colossus (Small Stone)
Though this remains a must-see live band, Lo-Pan has always delivered with solid studio work as well. On their fourth release, the Columbus quartet delivers the punishing stoner metal that we’ve come to expect and somehow manages to top their previous albums. If you want riffs and more riffs, you’ve come to the right place. Lo-Pan adds fuel to the argument that the best metal is coming out of Ohio these days.
Northern Oak - Of Roots and Flesh (N/A)
Folk metal can be a tough sell when you’re playing the formulaic melodies and singing about drinking, but when you step outside the box and lay down a base of black metal and then add the folk elements on top, you have my attention. That’s exactly what this Sheffield, UK 6-piece has done on their third album. This is one of the heaviest folk metal releases I’ve heard and the flute actually brings something to the table. Can’t wait to head to the forest to build a fire and crank this one up.
Orange Goblin - Back From The Abyss (Candlelight)
Orange Goblin’s 1998 masterpiece Time Travelling Blues was my introduction to Stoner Metal and remains one of my favorite albums to this day. The subsequent releases have been largely hit-and-miss, but the London quartet has come full circle with their 8th album. This is arguably the most cohesive OG release in 16 years, dropping any pretense for a full-out riff fest with plenty of doom and stoner elements. I haven’t been this excited about a new release from one of my favorite bands in a while. It’s always a pleasure to hear Ben Ward kick off a song with a trademark, “Yeah!”

Liquid lunch costs driver dear
A 32- year- old man was caught more than double the drink drive limit after enjoying a boozy lunch in Ayr.
Sean Aitchison, of Springhill Road, Shotts, was snared after a member of the public saw him get into his work van on May 14 while being under the influence.
He was caught on Holmston Road, Ayr with 47 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the limit of 22.
Sheriff Desmond Leslie told him: “You know the consequences of this- you’ve already been disqualified from driving for a similar offence back in 2008.”
He was fined £ 400 and disqualified from driving for two years.

Chorley’s housing system has been slammed as ‘totally flawed’.
That’s the damning conclusion from Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle, who says more people than ever from outside the borough are being handed homes, ahead of people already living in Chorley.
Mr Hoyle says he has been inundated with letters from constituents who say they are being unfairly treated, and he has now declared war on local housing associations, saying they are ‘failing in their promise to cater for local people’, as emergency meetings were called from all sides.
Mr Hoyle said: “My surgeries and mailbag are dominated by the issue of housing.
“Local people cannot get a house in Chorley yet there appears to a free-flowing inward migration from outside our borough.”
The system run by Chorley Council is through Select Move, an open’ waiting list run by the council along with Preston Council and South Ribble Council, and a number of other partner agencies including Chorley Community Housing (CCH).
The system works on a bidding basis, where people are put in order by need and available properties are posted online. The person who best fits the requirements met by a property wins.
But Mr Hoyle says the system means people already living in Chorley are given no more priority on houses in the borough than those living elsewhere.
He said: “I have recently been contacted by a family of two
adults and four children living in a two-bedroomed Chorley Community Housing (CCH) home. They were told they were top of the list to move into a four-bedroom house. One came vacant, but they lost out to someone living in Bolton.
“This has happened to them twice.
“The first time they were beaten to it by a family from Preston.
“This is just one of many examples where people from Chorley are being ignored at the expense of people from outside the borough.
“They are upset, and I am highly concerned that we don’t have a priority list for local families. The system is totally flawed.”
The Guardian understands an urgent meeting has been called today between the MP, Chorley Council and CCH, to talk about a way forward.
Mr Hoyle said he had previously raised the concerns with the local housing provider, but nothing had been done.
He said: “It’s totally unacceptable. Families in Chorley should be served first. It seems to me that we are getting more and more people coming to us. The system is failing people in Chorley, and it has to be urgently rethought.
“We know Chorley is a great place to live, and I don’t have a problem with the people who want to live here and want to move to Chorley from elsewhere, but we need to be serving the people of Chorley first.
“I have asked the council to address this issue as a matter of urgency, and I am seeking a meeting with the housing associations and council leaders to ask for immediate action to be taken to provide housing for local families.”
A CCH spokesman said they were asked to go into the SelectMove agreement by Chorley Council as part of the transfer of stock.
The spokesman said: “CCH is a participant in SelectMove because it was a contractual requirement of the stock transfer from Chorley Council.
“We are partners in SelectMove along with all three local authorities and most of the registered social landlords in central Lancashire.
“The policy, which is jointly owned and was developed by all the partners, does not prevent households from outside Chorley from being rehoused in Chorley.
“If Lindsay Hoyle believes any case involving CCH has been handled in a way that is not in line with the SelectMove policy, then we will be happy to review it if he sends us the details.”
Coun Adrian Lowe, who oversees housing at Chorley Council, said the council had looked at housing as a priority in Chorley since taking over power in May. He said: “Since we have come into power this year, the Labour administration has identified that there has previously been a potential problem with Chorley people getting access to Chorley properties.
“A review of the Select Move allocations policy is already under way, and we have been assessing the size of the problem, and what improvements can be made.
“As that review is being carried out we are already seeing an increase in the number of properties being offered to Chorley people.
“We want to see this continue because we feel very strongly that local connection is an important part of an application for a property and we expect local housing associations to support this.
“We want to make sure that someone who has always lived in Chorley, or has a job or caring responsibilities here, can stay in Chorley if they wish to do so.”

Wheat is defined as a cultivated grass, which is grown primarily for its nutritional grains. It grows anywhere between 2 and 4 feet. The scientific name of Wheat is ‘Gramineae’ and belong to the genus ‘Tritium’. There are a wide variety of Wheat that can grow in different climatic conditions, whether it’s cold, hot or dry. It is an annual crop that grows once a year, and thus, at the end of each year, the fields must be ploughed and prepared to enable the grass to grow. It can be planted to some extent as a forage crop for the livestock, whereas the straw of the Wheat can be used to make roof thatching or as fodder for animals.
It has a soft texture and is used in making cereals, cakes, biscuits, etc.
Various Stages of Wheat Plant :
Following are the various stages through which the Wheat plant goes, before it is sent to the mills for processing:
Planting : The soil required for planting seeds requires sufficient moisture as this helps in germinating the seeds at a faster pace.
Growing : The head of the wheat plant is developed at the tip of the stem. This head contains the kernel and is pushed up as the stem grows at a fast pace. Once the kernel in the head is fully developed and become mature, the green colour present in the leaves and the stem disappears and the kernel is dried quickly.
Harvesting of the Wheat plant is done when the kernel has lost around of 15% of the moisture.
Health Benefits Associated with Wheat
Bread, which is made of wheat flour, is extremely nourishing and gives strength and vitality to people with high appetite
It also helps in curing nose bleeding when wheat, dissolved in milk and sugar, is consumed by the victim
It is a rich source of Vitamin B and basic amino acids, including arginine and lysine wheat also helps in curing constipation and is beneficial for people suffering from cancer
The whole grain in wheat helps in preventing diabetes as it influences the insulin level through maintaining the body weight.

In this article, we share the information related to carriageway of road in highways, such as carriageway definition, types and width of carriageway based on various parameters.
So if you get any valuable information from this article and than please share it with your friends.
Table of Contents
What is Carriageway
Carriageway is defined as a portion of road that allows movement of traffic without any disturbance. It is also known as width of pavement. It is consists of multiple traffic lane.
The portion of carriageway that is planned for one line traffic movement is called as a traffic lane. The various lane on carriageway is separated by median strip.
The types and width of carriageway is provided base on purpose, needs, and location. Let’s Discuss about the Width of carriageway.
Also Read: What is Camber in Road
Width of Carriageway
The width of carriageway is depends on width of traffic lane and number of lane provided on carriageway. And, the width of traffic lane is decided based on a standard vehicle such as the passenger car.
However, it is also necessary to consider the maximum width of the largest vehicle class such as the heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) which is legally permitted to use the roadway of country.
The width of lane is such that there is sufficient lateral clearance on either side of the vehicles. And the lateral clearance required is higher in case of high speed vehicle movement.
That’s why, after considering all the factor, a width of 3.5m per lane is generally provided on rural highways in India and 10 to 11 feet in United states ad other countries.
The raised kerb such as footpath is provided on road than the width of lane is increased upto 3.75m. A width of carriage for single lane road is 3.75m in india that is subjected to decrease in low volume road or village road.
The requirement of traffic lanes in highway is depends on predicated traffic volume and desired level of services. The width of carriageway for single lane and two lane is as shown below.
As per IRC, the maximum allowable width of vehicle is 2.5m and the side clearance for single is 625mm on either side of vehicle. After summing these parameters, the desired width of carriageway is 3.75m for single lane traffic. The illustrated figure is shown as below.
And, for two lane, the side clearance on both side is 500mm and in between two vehicles is 1000mm. After summation of these all parameter, the desired width of carriageway come out is 7m for two lane and 3.5m for particular lane. The illustrated figure is shown as below.

Width of carriageway recommended by the IRC
The width of carriageway recommended by the IRC in various condition is tabulated below.
|Sr.no.||Class of Road||Width of Carriageway (m)|
|1||Single lane road||3.75|
|2||Two lanes, without raised kerbs||7.0|
|3||Two lanes, with raised kerbs||7.5|
|4||Intermediate carriageway (except on important roads)||5.5|
|5||Multi-lane Pavements||3.5 per lane|
- The lane width of Expressways is 3.75 m in plain and rolling terrains and 3.5 m in mountainous terrain; the change-over of lane width from 3.5 to 3.75 m or 3.75 to 3.5 m should be effected by a smooth transition of 1 in 60 for fatter rate.
- On urban roads without raised kerbs, the lane width may be 3.5 m.
- The minimum width recommended for kerbed urban road is 5.5 m to make allowance for a stalled vehicle.
- In local streets of residential areas the lane width may be decreased to 3.0 m.
The width of carriageway increased on horizontal curves. The IRC recommendation of widening of pavement is tabulated below.
|Radius of curve||Additional Width|
|Upto 40 m||1.5 m|
|41 to 60 m||1.2 m|
|61-100 m||0.9 m|
|101-300 m||0.6 m|

Pay by phone parking coming to Toronto
Paying for parking in Toronto is about to become technology friendly. Starting this summer, the Toronto Parking Authority is planning to open up some Green P parking lots to mobile phone payments with an eye to expanding the scheme to on-street spaces later in the year.
It will probably work something like this, although some details are still up in the air: Users will register their license plate, credit card, and mobile phone numbers with the city and agree to receive messages when their meter or pay-and-display slip is about to expire. Instead of returning, users will be allowed to buy more time remotely.
Earlier this year, city council again approved a 10-minute grace period for overstayers at the discretion of the enforcement officer (scofflaws and repeat offenders shouldn't expect an easy ride). Combining the two should, the city believes, should result in fewer parking tickets and less pressure on the court system. According to the Toronto Star, more than 74,000 cases were deferred in 2012 due to a lack of available courtrooms.
The TPA expects the scheme to expand to the city's 18,000 on-street parking spaces after the summer. Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg have similar systems already in place.
City council voted to adopt the necessary by-law changes Tuesday.

The past few days have been gray and rainy. The poor girls have been cooped up inside stuck watching WAY TOO MUCH TV while Brian and I clean, organize, and pack. That means it was time for a crafting break!
When I was younger I loved making melting bead creations! Now it is fun getting to share that with Kenley! My mom saved of our bin of melting bead supplies and creations. Kenley loves going through it to see what Auntie Kimbe and I made. In my day they only had square, circle, heart, star, and octagon peg boards. Now they have all different shaped peg boards to make creating even more fun! We headed to the craft store to pick up more beads and we also picked up the Horse and the Butterfly peg boards.
Another new thing since my day is the biggie beads! I love them for this age. Kenley likes to do the little ones but gets easily frustrated with them. We don't have that problem with the biggie beads and Claire can even do them if she decides to cooperate :)
These beads are great for working on fine motor skills too!

Maple Leafs: David Clarkson suspended for two games
This is Clarkson’s second suspension of the season.
|Report an Error|
Share via Email
NEW YORK—Maple Leafs winger David Clarkson has been suspended two games by the NHL for his head shot on Vladimir Sobotka of the St. Louis Blues.
This is Clarkson’s second suspension of the season. He got an automatic, 10-game suspension for leaving the bench to enter an altercation during the pre-season.
That history played into the department of player safety’s decision to give Clarkson two games, as did the fact that Sobotka was not injured as a result of the play.
Clarkson will miss Toronto’s game Saturday against the Blackhawks and Monday at the Penguins.
As a repeat offender, Clarkson will forfeit roughly $128,000 (U.S.) in salary as a result of the suspension.

text: Known as Llanfairpwllgwyngyll for short, this town takes the medal for the longest name in all of Europe. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is located on the island of Anglesey in Wales. The name means ‘St. Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool of Llantysilio of the red cave”. Can you say that after a few pints at the local pub?

The District had a relatively low youth compliance rate for routine immunizations even before the coronavirus pandemic made non-emergency visits to doctors less frequent — and the rates have only fallen since then. Seventy-seven percent of D.C. Public School students and 76 percent of charter students are current on their routine vaccinations, according to city data. That’s below the 93 percent student vaccination rate before the pandemic and far below the 95 percent that public health officials say is needed for herd immunity.
Now a coronavirus vaccine is available to students 12 and older, which could make in-person learning possible with fewer health restrictions. The question is whether the city can get enough families to take the vaccine and make it accessible to students across all wards of the District.
D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Lewis D. Ferebee recently told families that while a coronavirus vaccine is not required for students to attend school next year, he urged those eligible for the shots to get them.
“If you want to see students back in school, then it is our responsibility as a community for everyone to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available to them,” Ferebee wrote in an email to families Friday.
Ferebee said the school system is working with health officials to use schools as coronavirus vaccination sites, but he did not say how or when that would happen. The city also used school buildings as clinics for routine immunizations during the pandemic. Teachers and principals have said in interviews this year that they have connected family with clinics near their homes where they can get immunizations so they can attend in-person school. According to school leaders, youth vaccination rates are improving.
Ambrose Lane Jr — founder of Health Alliance Network, which is focused on health disparities in Wards 7 and 8, mostly Black areas of the city with high concentrations of poverty — is one of many city leaders and activists thinking about how to educate students and their families about coronavirus vaccination.
“It’s hard to crack,” said Lane, who also co-founded the community group Black Coalition Against Covid. “Young people are likely to follow their parents, and if [the parents] are hesitant, then they are going to be hesitant.”
The city’s adult vaccination rate is already lopsided, with Black and Latino residents less likely than White residents to be vaccinated. While there is vaccine hesitancy, the city’s initial rollout of vaccines ended up favoring White and wealthy residents, and frustrated D.C. lawmakers said it reflected a historic lack of investment in public health care for low-income communities of color.
Coronavirus case numbers in the city are dropping, and Black residents still make up a disproportionate share of the cases.
Officials at Children’s National Hospital said that it had preregistered 6,000 12-to 15-year-olds to get a shot at the hospital or a clinic in Maryland ahead of Thursday, the first day that this age group was eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech shots. The hospital had focused outreach in Wards 7 and 8, but families in these wards made up a minority of families who signed up.
The stakes are high for schools to get coronavirus shots to as many students as possible: Under current city rules, people who are vaccinated do not need to quarantine if a close contact contracts the virus. If these vaccines disproportionately end up in the arms of children from wealthier families, the city risks having low-income students in classrooms fewer days in the fall since they would have to switch to virtual school and quarantine for 10 days if a close contact contracts the virus.
The D.C. Council recently passed a controversial law that allows children older than 12 to be vaccinated without parental consent.
Lane said city and health advocates need to decide whether to direct messages about coronavirus vaccination to children, to families, or a combination.
KIPP DC is planning a town hall for parents with medical experts who can explain why the government has deemed the vaccine safe for children. The charter network said it hosted a similar virtual town hall when vaccines became available for adults and had high attendance.
“We will focus on ensuring they have access to information and especially about locations given the historical lack of access to medical facilities in Ward 7 & 8,” Adam Rupe, spokesman for KIPP DC, wrote in an email. “The city has done a great job of expanding access, we just don’t know if all our families are aware of these new choices.”
D.C. Public Schools is working with Children’s National — which employs nurses who are assigned to public schools — to train school nurses to talk to students about the coronavirus shots.
Building these bridges of trust in the vaccine and the administration process will be critical, school leaders and city activists say.
Zulma Barrera, a mother of three, said she and her 16-year-old daughter waited to get the vaccine until Mary’s Center — a community health clinic whose patients are mostly immigrant families — was authorized to administer it. Barrera already received her first dose, and her daughter recently made an appointment for the Pfizer vaccine at Mary’s Center.
“I trust them; I was waiting for them,” Barrera said. “We need to cooperate to make sure everyone has the vaccine.”
On Friday, at a coronavirus vaccine clinic at R.I.S.E. Demonstration Center in Southeast Washington, some teenagers said they have been hearing about the vaccine from their teachers and friends at school. All said their parents were vaccinated, and they were confident they wanted the shots, too.
“My track coach suggested we get it so we can get back,” said 15-year-old Kimora Beal, a sophomore at Dunbar High School in Northwest Washington. “I say others should get it. It comes with a lot of pros.”
Kimora went back to school a few times this spring, but when someone at the school became infected, her mother, Tavara Johnson, decided to keep the teen home. Once Kimora is fully vaccinated, Johnson said, in-person school will be okay.
Jacque Patterson — at-large representative on the D.C. State Board of Education — accompanied his 12-year-old son to get the vaccine at the clinic. Patterson, who works at KIPP DC, said he wants to lead by example as he urges other families to be vaccinated.
“I’m pretty excited and nervous at the same time,” said Patterson’s son, Jacque Patterson Jr., a sixth-grader at Stuart-Hobson Middle School. “I get to protect myself and protect others. And I get to hang out with my grandpa.”

According to the current understanding of cosmic structure formation, the precursors of the most massive structures in the Universe began to form shortly after the Big Bang, in regions corresponding to the largest fluctuations in the cosmic density field1,2,3. Observing these structures during their period of active growth and assembly—the first few hundred million years of the Universe—is challenging because it requires surveys that are sensitive enough to detect the distant galaxies that act as signposts for these structures and wide enough to capture the rarest objects. As a result, very few such objects have been detected so far4,5. Here we report observations of a far-infrared-luminous object at redshift 6.900 (less than 800 million years after the Big Bang) that was discovered in a wide-field survey6. High-resolution imaging shows it to be a pair of extremely massive star-forming galaxies. The larger is forming stars at a rate of 2,900 solar masses per year, contains 270 billion solar masses of gas and 2.5 billion solar masses of dust, and is more massive than any other known object at a redshift of more than 6. Its rapid star formation is probably triggered by its companion galaxy at a projected separation of 8 kiloparsecs. This merging companion hosts 35 billion solar masses of stars and has a star-formation rate of 540 solar masses per year, but has an order of magnitude less gas and dust than its neighbour and physical conditions akin to those observed in lower-metallicity galaxies in the nearby Universe7. These objects suggest the presence of a dark-matter halo with a mass of more than 100 billion solar masses, making it among the rarest dark-matter haloes that should exist in the Universe at this epoch.

Extended data figures and tables
a–d, Continuum images in ALMA bands 3 (a), 6 (b), 7 (c) and 8 (d), corresponding to rest-frame wavelengths of 380 μm, 160 μm, 110 μm and 90 μm, respectively. Note that the resolution in a is a factor of roughly ten worse than in b–d, and the displayed field of view is also larger by a factor of four. Contours at 10%, 30% and 90% of the image peak in band 6 are shown in a for scale. The ALMA synthesized beam (full-width at half-maximum) is represented as a hatched ellipse in the corner of each image.
8″ × 8″ thumbnails of SPT0311−58 in the observed optical and infrared filters are shown. ALMA band 6 continuum contours at 30% and 4% of the image peak are shown in blue; the ALMA synthesized beam is depicted as a blue ellipse in the corner of each image.
The field around SPT0311−58 is shown, as seen with ALMA and HST at 1.3 mm (ALMA band 6; red), 1,300 nm (combined HST/WFC3 F125W and F160W filters; green) and 700 nm (combined HST/ACS F606W and F775W filters; blue). For emission from z = 6.9, no emission should be visible in the ACS filters owing to the opacity of the neutral intergalactic medium, whereas the other filters correspond to rest-frame 160 nm and 160 μm.
Left to right, sky image, model and residual images. Top to bottom, HST/WFC3 F125W, Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 μm and Spitzer/IRAC 4.5 μm data. The ALMA band 6 contours are shown in the left and right columns; the red circles in the right column show the photometric extraction regions for the Spitzer/IRAC images.
For each continuum wavelength for which we have suitable data, we reconstruct the source-plane emission as described in Methods section ‘Gravitational lens modelling’. For each wavelength, from left to right, we show the ‘dirty’ (not de-convolved) image of the data, the dirty image of the model, the model residuals and the source-plane reconstruction. Because the images of the data are not de-convolved, the structure far from the object is due to side lobes in the synthesized beam, and should be reproduced by the models. The image-plane region modelled is evident in the residuals, and results in the ‘noise’ in the source-plane reconstructions. Contours in the residual panels are drawn in steps of ±2σ. The lensing caustics are shown in each source-plane panel (ellipse and diamond). The lens parameters are determined independently at 90 μm and 160 μm; at 110 μm we adopt the parameters of the 160-μm model.
For each channel (40 km s−1 wide), we reconstruct the source-plane emission using the lens parameters determined from fitting to the rest-frame 160-μm (ALMA band 6) continuum data (Methods section ‘Gravitational lens modelling’). The four images for each channel are as in Extended Data Fig. 5.

The photometric data in Extended Data Tables 2 and 3 for the three components at the position of SPT0311−58 are compared to the models determined using the CIGALE SED modelling code. The lens is modelled assuming a redshift of zphot = 1.43, as estimated with the photometric redshift code EAZY. Upper limits are shown at the 1σ threshold and error bars represent 1σ uncertainties.

Yeah, I know it’s fall- not the appropriate time for light, refreshing, best ever chicken salad. I can’t help myself. I’m no respecter of seasonal foodstuff. I eat chili in the summertime and chicken salad in the fall. Or any time of year. This week, I had a hankering for chicken salad and wanted to share this yummy recipe with you.
You’ll need 3 cups diced cooked chicken. I used 3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, braised in a small amount of water, then cut in small chunks. Let cool or refrigerate until the next day.
8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained. Reserve one tablespoon pineapple juice for the dressing.
1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half. I used black grapes, but any seedless variety will do.
1/2 cup chopped nuts. I used pecans this time, but almonds are also tasty.
A dash or two of salt, if desired. I don’t usually add salt.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1 Tablespoon pineapple juice
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon flakes
Whisk together until smooth.
Fold into chicken mixture.
Serve on a bed of lettuce or tucked into a yummy croissant. Keeping it gluten free, I eat it with my new favorite, pumpkin seed tortilla chips, which makes it a fall food, right?

The History of The Book Workshop – Jun 2019
15th June 2019 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm£35
Lead Tutors: Malcolm Noble and Miriam Gill
In how many different ways can you we read a book? Or to put it another way, what do the physical characteristics of books and other printed materials tell us about the society and cultures in which they are produced?
Together we will consider some of the answers these questions in terms of how we can study books as physical objects. Our focus will be on the technical aspects of how books are written, designed, typeset, printed, distributed, and circulated, rather than on more literary approaches to their contents.
Scholars joining this workshop will gain a basic understanding of descriptive bibliography so that they can consider historic books as physical objects, understanding how to find clues as to their production, and how to use this information as a basis for further research.
This workshop will give scholars insights into this approach to studying the history of the book, which they may choose to follow up on a longer module. During the one-day workshop students will be invited to participate in the design of this longer course. Finally, we will briefly consider the future of the book and the publishing industry.
Scholars are invited to bring with them a book from home which is of some interest or significance to them.
This course is non-accredited but taught at FHEQ level 4/ Higher Education level 1: this is the same level as the first year of a degree.
Please note that a minimum of 10 students are required to run the workshop sessions.
Concessions: we are able to offer a limited number of places at concession rates for those on benefits or under the tax threshold. Please contact us using the contact form for more information.
