What is a Dental Emergency?
When dealing with any dental-related concern, the dentist should be your first call. This is especially the case when it may be considered an emergency. It is often difficult to get after-hours service or advice. At Dentistryon88, we have that issue covered with our 24/7 Emergency Hotline. If you are experiencing a dental emergency and need guidance on next steps, please feel free to call the emergency hotline any time of day.
Did you know that approximately 22% of people have experienced oral pain within the last six months? This goes to show how common dental emergencies can be. However, not every dental situation may be considered an emergency.
When experiencing what you may think is an emergency, ask yourselves the following questions.
How severe is your pain?
Unbearable pain or even bleeding are signs of an emergency.
Have you lost a tooth?
Treatment in a timely manner can potentially save a tooth, deeming it an emergency.
Are any of your teeth loose?
Adults should never lose their teeth. Signs of a loose tooth, even without consistent or any pain, can be considered an emergency.
Do you think you have an infection?
A serious infection or even an abscess can potentially be life-threatening, and it should be considered an emergency. If swelling has reached your gums & face, please call our hotline.
Are you bleeding from your mouth?
Any abnormal bleeding should be considered an emergency.
To briefly define, a dental emergency is any dental related problem that requires immediate treatment or assistance to alleviate the following;
- Severe Pain
- Potentially Life-Threatening (typically related to infection)
Common dental emergencies range from the following; unexplainable toothache, swollen or bleeding gums, swollen mouth or jaw, exposed nerves, a knocked-out tooth, missing filling, broken crown, or an abscessed tooth.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency or still have questions regarding whether it is an emergency, please call our Dentistryon88 Emergency hotline. After all, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week!

Throughout these pandemic months, the legal team of the National Federation of Self-Employed Workers’ Associations (ATA) has advised more than 120,000 self-employed workers and helped train more than 4,000 self-employed workers, especially in the field of digitization. In total, they have integrated eleven new organizations and a total of 103,000 freelancers have joined ATA.
The 2020 financial year has yielded a positive result of 42,215 euros, after adding income of 7,068,479 euros and subtracting expenses of 7,026,063 euros. A year earlier, in 2019, a surplus of 889,985 euros was recorded after recording income of 6,400,413 euros and expenses of 5,510,428.
«The difference in spending is not waste, it is responsibility. We have greatly increased the cost of personnel, expanding the staff, especially of advisers, to respond to the self-employed who have needed us during this hard year, “said Lorenzo Amor.” More than 120,000 self-employed have received free assistance. All members of ATA they have given their best to help in the worst moments, regardless of whether it was a weekend or a holiday. The effort has been great and the freelancers have rewarded us by partnering. We have added quota partners and integrated new organizations. In just one year we have the support of 103,000 more freelancers, “he added.
In 2018, ATA had 210,413 quota partners, which means that in two years the number of members has increased by 45,588, that is, 21.6% more. The budget for this item has increased by 668,065 euros in one year and expenses by 1,515,635 euros. “Our goal is to cover 100% of expenses with fees,” said Lorenzo Amor, president of ATA. «In 2020, income in installments accounted for 72.8% of total expenditure. Our goal is to continue increasing membership and at the same time reducing and adjusting spending as much as possible as set as an objective. Assembly held on April 6, ”said Amor.
In 2018, the subsidies that ATA received amounted to 708,217 euros, in 2019 to 1,059,056 euros and in 2020 they increased to 1,430,139 euros. ATA obtained in 2019 a 54% relative weight in the representation of the self-employed. The Ministry of Labor, through the General Directorate of Self-Employed Work, Social Economy and Corporate Social Responsibility, is the body in charge of publishing at the end of each year the position held by each self-employed organization within the collective and that measures the relative weight of each organization within the affiliates of the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA).

THE latest batch of luxury city centre apartments are to hit the market, with the starting price for a two-bed home expected to be around £200,000.
Buyers will be able to stake their claim next week on one of the 304 units, ranging from studios to luxury split-level apartments, that will be built above the new St David’s 2 shopping centre in the heart of Cardiff.
Despite the credit crunch and the fact developers are sitting on a backlog of 9,500 flats in the capital, the companies behind the scheme are hopeful the Hayes Apartments – so-called because they are located on The Hayes – will be quickly snapped up.
And despite the steep prices, with a studio flat set to start at about £110,000, Tony Filice, a director of Kelvin Francis estate agents and a spokesman for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, said they were likely to be popular with buyers.
“I think the prices are reasonable because, at the end of the day, there are a limited number of apartments available in the city centre, whereas there is more choice in Cardiff Bay.
“People are also not just buying an apartment, they are buying a way of life in the city centre.
“I think the development will attract a combination of people, from young professionals to investors to companies needing a place for employees to stay.”
Construction of the residential portion of the £675m St David’s 2 development – being built by Land Securities and Capital Shopping Centres, working together as the St David’s Partnership – has begun and the first residents should be able to move into the Hayes Apartments, which will have private rooftop courtyards, at the end of next year.
They will be available to buy off-plan from a sales and marketing suite, which is due to open to the public in St Mary Street next Friday, June 6.

Let’s get our social housing in order
Carol Tallon Talking Property: The new strategy is a halfway house to solving the homeless crisis, but it’s a good start
Last week saw the release of the government strategy to deal with social housing. The broad plan was outlined in Budget 2015 last month. However, it was criticised for being light on actionable details. This most recent report goes some way to address those criticisms.
The main provision is the increased budget, from €2.2 billion to €3.8 billion over the next six years, which is to be welcomed. The primary focus of the spending will be...

Crack Propagation Analysis using FEM Approach in Titanium and Titanium Aluminide
|Title||Crack Propagation Analysis using FEM Approach in Titanium and Titanium Aluminide|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2015|
|Authors||Varun M., Santosh C., Kashyap A., Santhosh M.|
|Journal||International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology|
|Keywords||Department of Mechanical Engineering|
In the present work, an analysis of crack propagation in a rectangular plate made of two different materials viz. Titanium and Titanium Aluminide using FEM approach is carried out. Titanium forms an important constituent of Landing Gear application in aircrafts. The analysis is performed on four different contours viz. circle, square, rhombus and hexagon . The tensile load is applied at one side of the quarter plate under symmetrical boundary conditions which results in opening mode of crack. The crack is initiated normal to the applied tensile load at the region of stress concentration. One of the best indicators of crack propagation rate, i.e. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is determined using Finite Element software. It is seen that the theoretically calculated values of SIF are in good agreement with each other. It can be concluded from the work that Titanium can be replaced by Titanium Aluminide considering cost, weight and other parameters.

Jasper County News
Local, regional, and statewide news continually updated from thousands of sources on the web.
Thursday Dec 5 | Monticello News
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office reported the following two burglaries during the past week: On December 2 a resident on Ersking Drive reported a forced entry into the home and the theft of two items of Harley Davidson attire, a Snap On tool box on wheels and various other hand tools, wrenches and sockets.
Do You Know the Constitution Better Than Most Politicians?
Should America's 11 million illegal immigrants be offered a path to citizenship?
Two individuals were charged last week with commercial gambling after a raid at two convenience stores in Monticello, the culmination of a joint investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Jasper County Sheriff's Office .
Two hours of the Jasper County Commissioners three hour meeting Monday was devoted to public hearings and subsequent votes on eight proposed telecommunications towers in Jasper County.


As noted here recently ("Lame and Lamer: Media excuses for ignoring a surging Ron Paul"), Rep. Ron Paul has undeniably eclipsed many of the GOP presidential candidates formerly accorded "top tier" status by the major "lamestream" media, according to an August 24 Gallup Poll.
The new survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents shows Paul with 13 percent support, barely trailing former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (17 percent), with Texas Governor Rick Perry, who only recently announced his candidacy, strongly in first place, with 29 percent.
This puts Ron Paul three points ahead of Rep. Michele Bachmann (10 percent), who narrowly beat Paul (by less than 1 percent) in the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll on August 13. The other contestants, some of whom have been touted as "top tier" in the past, fade into the distance in the new Gallup Poll: Herman Cain, 4 percent; Newt Gingrich, 4 percent; Rick Santorum, 3 percent; Jon Huntsman, 1 percent; Tim Pawlenty, zero percent (he dropped out).
As reported here yesterday ("Lame & Lamer: Media Excuses for Ignoring a Surging Ron Paul") the "lamestream" media appear to be making efforts to salvage a modicum of credibility by giving some coverage to Rep. Ron Paul's presidential race, after a severe media shellacking by Comedy Central's Jon Stewart went viral last week. Stewart's satirical rant effectively used clips of various media takes on the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll to expose the uniform policy of the major media to treat Ron Paul with unique contempt by simply pretending he doesn't exist.
The blatant media blackout of Ron Paul is eerily similar to the Stalinist technique of obliterating all mention of those who have been declared to be non-persons, as chillingly documented by David King in The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin's Russia. King's 1997 book demonstrates the power of Soviet censorship under Stalin, showing example after example of famous Communist leaders who had once been considered heroes of the revolution but then, sometimes virtually overnight, disappeared. Not only were they arrested, tortured, and killed, but even their images were removed from all photographs and their names expunged from all documents, news stories, and history books.
A recent article in the Washington Post posited that the obstruction by the Congress of presidential recess appointments is unconstitutional. This debate emerged in light of the fact that currently, there is a backlog of presidential appointments. There are two explanations for this. First, President Obama has yet to nominate people to fill various executive and judicial branch openings. For example, a new chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers has yet to be named and there are two empty seats on the Federal Reserve board. The second reason behind the logjam is the Senate’s reluctance to confirm those nominees already submitted by the President for that body’s approval.
There is, however, a third less obvious factor slowing the appointment process. Using a potent parliamentary tactic, the House of Representatives has acted to keep both houses of the legislative branch in “pro forma” session throughout the August break in order to prevent President Obama from bypassing the advice and consent of the Senate by making what is known as recess appointments.
It is hard not to be amazed by the blackout of media coverage of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. Had Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, or any second-tier candidate been performing remotely as well as Paul has, he would no longer be regarded as a “second-tier” candidate. To the credit of such left-leaning outlets as Jon Stewarts' The Daily Show and The Huffington Post, this phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by everyone.
Let’s think about this.
In spite of the extent to which Paul has been ignored by the establishment media in both of its leftist and rightist varieties, he unfailingly elicits explosive applause in every GOP presidential primary debate in which he has participated. A Fox News poll, of all places, shows that the overwhelming majority of its respondents hold that Ron Paul achieved a decisive victory over all of the other candidates in the most recent debate in Iowa. Of 7,991 “active” cities nationwide that participated in the poll, and 43,293 total votes, 27,459 people thought that Paul won the debate. Newt Gingrich came in second place — with 5, 906 votes.
As the newest entrant into the GOP presidential race, Texas Governor Rick Perry is finding some tough sledding in the early going — from a group of Republicans in his own state. Dave Nalle, secretary of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) of Texas, wrote an article earlier this month on the RLC website, outlining the group’s warnings about the Lone Star State Governor, entitled “Meet the Real Rick Perry."
Nalle observed that even though Perry “may be the flavor of the day” for a lot of Republicans, Texas Republicans more familiar with his record “are a lot less enthusiastic” about his run for the presidency.
The RLC, a nationwide group, was founded in 1991 to, in their words, "restore the principles of individual liberty, limited government and free market economics to America through the Republican Party.” The group's values — personal responsibility and small government — are not only reminiscent of those of the Republican Party of bygone years, but seem to have been lifted right out of Rick Perry’s book Fed Up.
President Obama has signed yet another Executive Order, making it his 94th to date. This Executive Order creates an Office of Diversity, for the purposes of boosting minority participation in the federal work force.
The mission for the Order reads:
By this order, I am directing executive departments and agencies to develop and implement a more comprehensive, integrated, and strategic focus on diversity and inclusion as a key component of their human resources strategies.
At 5:30 p.m. on a Wednesday in June, Thomas James Ball of Holden, Massachusetts, drenched himself with gasoline and struck a match. He burned to death at the door of the courthouse in Keene, New Hampshire.
“I saw a man standing on fire,” one eyewitness told WMUR-Channel 9. “He walked around a little bit, walked on to the grass, collapsed on all fours and literally sat there and burned.”
“Several men said their attempts to help Ball proved ineffective,” WMUR continued, “partly because it appeared he did not want to be helped. ‘He just looked like he was just chilling there, doing yoga or something. It was weird. We were all stunned,’ said witness Sean Desio.”
By air-time that evening, “Investigators [had] not released any possible motive” for this very public, agonizing, and dramatic suicide. But Ball himself solved the mystery the next day, when his last words — all 15 carefully investigated, cogently argued pages of them — reached Keene’s Sentinel.
Now that the U.S. military, under the auspices of NATO, has “liberated” Libya, that country is on a path to become the third such nation to establish Sharia as the principal basis for all future constitutional legislation.
With the pen of power placed in their hands by the armed forces of the United States, the members of the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) has released a draft of a proposed new constitution that enumerates Islamic Sharia law as its foundation.
Sharia, which means “path” in Arabic, is the sacred law of Islam. The precepts of Sharia have two sources: the Koran and the writings of Mohammed. Sharia is the code that is responsible for the stoning of adulteresses; the caning of rape victims; and the restrictions on dress, rights of inheritance, and marital status of women.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, an Iowa native, won the Republicans' Ames, Iowa Straw Poll on August 13. That fact was reported by most of the national media. However, in an incredible display of conformity bias, virtually all of the major media blacked out the fact that Rep. Ron Paul of Texas came in a close second, in a virtual tie with Bachmann, with less than one percentage point difference between them. On many of the major media news shows and Sunday talk programs, the network "analysts" and guest "experts" mentioned every GOP presidential candidate (and some who are not candidates: Palin, Trump, Christie) — every candidate, that is, except Ron Paul, who had just accomplished a huge underdog victory.
The glaring hypocrisy of the "lamestream media" commentators in pretending to be objectively reporting on the event while blatantly censoring Ron Paul out of existence was too much for liberal comedian/commentator Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's The Daily Show.
For as frequently as I have defended Ron Paul against his detractors, it may surprise some readers to discover that while I consider myself to be something of a libertarian, philosophically speaking, I am poles apart from the libertarianism of which Paul is such an impassioned supporter.
In contemporary politics, and, indeed, contemporary life, it is not at all uncommon to hear partisans speak of the “philosophical” differences between themselves and their opponents. Few people, though, really understand what philosophy is. This is no criticism; even those of us who make our living as philosophers have not infrequently found ourselves divided as to the character of our craft.

With its 3,630 feet takeoff distance, the Conquest can takeoff from even the shortest of runways, giving passengers access to more remote airports. The Conquest can cruise at 275 miles per hour and with a range of 1,029 nautical miles, the Conquest is the perfect get-away plane to for vacations from Miami to Marsh Harbour on a private jet.


The 30-year-old suffered ligament damage in his back that ruled him out of last week’s 2-2 draw with his former club Manchester United, and he will not be risked for the trip to take on Rafa Benitez’s men.
Hughes will also consider the fact that the Potters face Chelsea next weekend without Kurt Zouma, who is ineligible against his parent club as he is on loan at Stoke.
"It's touch and go," Hughes said. "In fairness, the last few weeks prior to the injury during the international week we tried to manage Ryan's workload and then he came back and got injured in training."
"We will check him again today and he may come in with a really positive attitude towards the game at the weekend and then I have a decision, but as things stand, it's unlikely."
Elsewhere, Geoff Cameron is the only other short-term injury worry after he picked up a hamstring problem in the first half of last week’s game with United.

Recently my prints with curves in them and when printing via Octopi I can watch/hear the head pause, especially when going around curves. I also see all kinds of zits being produced.
I took the same gcode and copied it to SD and printed it from there. Still, a few zits but nothing compared to the Octopi print.
Used Cura 4.4.1 to create the gcode.
I did calibrate the extruder and it is spot on.
I lowered the outer wall speed to 30mm (from 50)
I read on one of the boards that the serial port speed on the pi & ender serial port is to low so that it stops while waiting for Gcode, which is the pauses I hear (sounds like chatter)
I don't know if this is related to latest Cura and how it's generating gcode for curves.
In the pictured the complete Benchy if from the SD card. The partial is via octoprint.
Any advice would be appreciated. I really enjoy Octoprint and don't want to loose all it has to offer.

In addition to those artists, The Kills, Bombay Bicycle Club, Protomartyr, Twin Peaks, White Fence, Shonen Knife OBN IIIs, Ultimate Painting, Yumi Zouma, and many more are amongst the 2014 CMJ performers. Badges are on sale now and the complete initial line-up is listed below...

Cleveland band Herzog released their terrific new album, Boys, a couple weeks back. As I wrote previously, Boys is '90s-style indie/alt rock, loaded with hooks and extremely quotable lyrics (via lyricist-in-residence Tony Vorell who doesn't play with the band live). If you haven't checked it out yet, you should, and you can stream the whole album below.
Herzog are in NYC this week, playing Glasslands on Wednesday (6/4) with Education Reform, Meghann Wright, and Sinaloha; and then Bowery Electric on Thursday (6/5) with Grave Pool, Shark Week, and Black Brick. If you can't make those shows, Herzog will be here again next week for Northside Festival, playing the (deep breath) Terrorbird Media, Carpark Records, Kanine Records & InSound showcase at Cameo on June 12 with TEEN, Saint Pepsi, Las Rosas, Chandos, Dog Bite, Piers, and Valarie. Tickets for that show are on sale, or you can use your Northside badge (badge entry subject to capacity).
All Herzog dates are listed, along with the stream of their new album, below...

The strong "Anything in Return" (Carpark), Mr. Bundick's recently released third full-length album, can't help but feel like a response to the womb he was born of. It's by far the most muscular of his work, even if his version of muscle is a thin sinew, only lightly flexed. Still, it's not chill. Not totally, at least.
His show at Webster Hall on Wednesday night highlighted the difficulties of shaking loose of the calm and moving toward squall.
Even at its most raging, Toro y Moi's music is an insular proposition, which in a room the size of this one, has its limitations.
At times, the mood was shamanistic -- there was smoke in the air, and the light show was throbbingly vivid. When Mr. Bundick went into psychedelic-soul freakout mode, it had moments of transporting power. - [NY Times]
Chillwave survivor Toro Y Moi rolled through NYC this week on his current tour with Wild Belle and Dog Bite, playing Webster Hall on Wednesday (2/13, as reviewed by the Times, above) and Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (2/15). Backed some sleek, '80s-inspired lighting, Chaz and his band tore through a good chunk of his brand new Anything in Return and select cuts from his two previous LPs.

As mentioned, Toro y Moi is releasing his new album, Anything in Return, on January 22 via Carpark and will be going on a tour in support of it which hits NYC on February 13 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show are still available but if you'd rather catch them in a slightly more intimate environment, you're in luck because Toro y Moi just added another NYC show happening at Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 14. Like the Webster Hall show and many others on the tour, Wild Belle and Dog Bite will open the MHOW show. TIckets for that show go on sale Friday (1/11) at noon.
An updated list of dates and the videos for "So Many Details" and "Say That" off of Toro y Moi's new album, are below...
Ratking at Public Assembly - 10/20/12
Sinkane at Public Assembly - 10/20/12
NYC rap crew Ratking and funky synth pop project Sinkane both played a number of CMJ shows last week, including the BrooklynVegan day party on Saturday (10/20) which they were both on. Pictures of Ratking's and Sinkane's set from that party are in this post.
The two groups will team up again in NYC this week for an in-store at the Puma Store (521 Broadway) on Thursday (10/25) with DJ Physical Therapy. The show is 21+, runs from 7 PM to 10 PM, and you can RSVP to email@example.com. The flier for this show is below.
Ratking, as mentioned, also recently dropped a remix of King Krule's "Octopus" which you can stream below.
Sinkane, who since played a record release show at Brooklyn Bowl last night (10/23), has other upcoming shows in NYC, including one with !!! at Music Hall of Williamsburg (12/13) and one with ESG at Bowery Electric (11/1). They'll also be supporting Yeasayer (who main member Ahmed Gallab once drummed for) on their upcoming tour which hits the NYC area on November 13 at the Capitol Theatre (tickets). They'll also support Toro y Moi on their recently announced tour but won't be at the Webster Hall show (2/13) (Wild Belle and Dog Bite will).
A list of all Sinkane dates, a stream of Ratking's King Krule remix, and more pictures of Ratking and Sinkane from the BV day party (sponsored by Sailor Jerry, PBR, Mercy, and Raw Revolution), below...

‘I found a knitted blanket at a jumble sale and was mesmerised by the colour combination. The person who made the blanket had used colours I would not normally put together. Just as you can become tired of your own cooking, I was tired of my usual colours. This blanket was an opportunity for me to have to put colours down which were not usual to me, but still exciting and challenging. At the same time, I have been looking at the paintings of Bonnard and Vuillard, who layer colour, and I’ve been influenced by them in this work.’

Tulsa police are using new technology to be as prepared as possible when responding to calls.
It's an online profile you can fill out to give police specific instructions if they ever get called to your house in an emergency.
To sing up for Smart911, you can go online and fill out a profile which gives police the information you'd want them to have in an emergency; and who knows how big of a help that could be.
Madelyn Tackett loves her dogs, and in the event of an emergency, she wants Penny and Stevie to be protected.
"I mean, they're like my babies. My dogs are like my kids. I don't have kids yet, so if there was a fire and I wasn't home and police and fire were responding, I would want my dogs to get out for sure," she said.
It's one of many benefits, Tulsa Police say, to using Smart911 - a private online database, where you can plug in your personal information to pop up for police if they're ever called to your house.
Tulsa Police officer Leland Ashley said, "You know, it just gives all the information a person would want, and it could help an officer in route to a call."
Ashley said, when you call 911, Smart911 recognizes your number from your profile and pulls it up for dispatchers who can then digitally send the information to the responding officer.
That way, police will have your name, your pet's name, pictures, medical history and more.
Tackett said, "I have asthma and pretty bad asthma, and, so, if first responders knew that, or if I was allergic to any medication, I think that would be a really good insight."
"You know a lot of kids with autism, the lights or sirens from a police officer kind of agitates them. Well, if you know that coming in, let's go ahead and turn our lights off, our sirens off," Ashley said.
Police are able to share that information with firefighters and paramedics on scene.
Bartlesville police use Smart911 and so does the entire state of Arkansas. Now, Tulsans, like Tackett, can use it too.
"Yeah, I think it's a great investment," she said.
Smart911 cost the department more than $300,000 for a five-year subscription. It was paid for with police forfeiture funds.
You can sign up here.

In the next five years, we have a once in a generation opportunity to change the way we provide health and social care services for the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
The current health and social care system needs reform and we must seize the moment. Preventing ill health and more care at home are at the heart of health and care plans for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
In November 2016, all the major public sector health and care organisations published an outline plan to improve services based on the NHS England Five Year Forward View and Devolution Deal for Cornwall. This programme of work is known as ‘Shaping Our Future’ and is the number one priority for everyone working in health and social care.
Shaping Our Future has three aims:
- Improve the health and wellbeing of the local population.
- Improve the quality of local health and care services.
- Deliver financial stability in the local health and care system.
In Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, we have set up a Transformation Board which is made up of all the leaders of the major health and care organisations, including Healthwatch. Our draft plan and priorities are based on the expert knowledge of people working in within health and care, public health teams and engagement with local communities.
You can also read a summary of the community views on our outline plans: Community Views on the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Health and Social Care Plan 2016 – 2021.
If you would like to read about our earlier engagement to establish our priorities you can read those documents by clicking on the links below:
- Full Engagement Report highlighting the health and care priorities of the residents and health providers of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
- Summary of the Report highlighting the health and care priorities of the residents and health providers of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
- Annex: Responses to the engagement report
If you would like information in another format please contact KCCG.Engagement@nhs.net or phone 01726 627897.
If you would like to find out more about how you can get involved in the Shaping Our Future programme email: email@example.com
Based on the views of local clinicians, practitioners and citizens we now want to define in more detail our options for each local area to improve health and care services. We will do this in partnership with local communities and consult further on any big changes.
People told us that preventing ill health, more joined up care in the community and better access to GPs and urgent care services in the evenings and at weekends are the top priorities. Further investment in mental health services, more alignment with children and young people's services and better use of information technology were other areas identified as needing improvement by local citizens. Savings were expected to made by reducing bureaucracy and management burden.
These areas will be our focus in developing detailed plans, taking action where there is support to do so and consulting further where there are big changes proposed.

Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Transformation Board Minutes
In the next five years, we have a once in a generation opportunity to change the way we provide health and social care services for the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.-
What if… we had a co-ordinated approach to planning and delivering health and care services and a simple system that everyone could understand?-
What if… we invested a minimum of £20 million in preventing people getting ill, supporting selfcare and targeting citizens who are most likely to have health problems?-
What if… we had outstanding community care that was properly co-ordinated to keep people well, help people stay out of hospital or leave hospital quicker with more personalised care and support?-
What if… we had an urgent care service that was accessible, reliable and co-ordinated with clinicians at the end of a phone if you need advice, visiting you when essential or on average 30 minutes from home so that you only need to visit an Emergency Department in an actual emergency?-
What if… we changed our approach to caring for people with specific conditions so citizens got equitable access to high standards of care regardless of where they lived or their individual clinician within the resources available?-
What if… local care providers changed the way they worked together to enable joined up care, shared expertise more eff ectively and used the properties we have efficiently?-

MY REVIEW 5 stars:
Be Kind to Yourself is short, resonating, and very real. Jane Stockwell has taken her life experiences, and her extremely well read and knowledgable past, and she’s placed them into this intricate compilation of truths. This isn’t your average self-help book, trust me I’ve read several… most of which are repetitive and cover all of the same things just in different words. I love that Jane has taken a different yet simplified path in explaining such a logical and powerful approach to facing life in general.
Everyone has their own paths to take, their own forks in the road, and their own roadblocks to get around. This book covers the reality that life happens to us all, and it’s in the way we face the changes, fears, traumas etc. that shapes our future and our sanity. There’s a straight forward style to Jane’s writing that really puts life in a prospective that you can wrap your head around. In a way, I feel like she’s taken much well-known yet rarely utilized aspects in coping and managing emotions and logic type books, and she’s waded through all of the repetitive crap until she’s produced something that’s as straight forward as one can get. There’s no tip-toeing, or nibbling around the edges.
Be Kind to Yourself is a book that can be devoured in one short sitting, and you can still take so much from it to use and appreciate! If you’re going through some down times in life, and are looking for a read that actually helps without feeling preached to, then do yourselves a favor and read this book!
Jane Stockwell writes from the heart in this series of short essays about facing the challenges of life, and strategies to deal with them. Rather than to let life defeat her, she instead chose to succeed. The lessons she learned to cope with fear, change, and loss and turning them into courage and mindfulness are applicable to all of us, irrespective of the challenges we face.
Often, recognizing the issue and separating it from ourselves can help to give perspective and open other possibilities we can’t see when we are overwhelmed. Face each challenge with an open mind, and above all, being kind to yourself.
This book is intentionally short, as the lessons in themselves are not complex. In fact, we tend to overcomplicate things and look for something other than the solution sitting in front of us. The reality is, we already know what to do, but sometimes we need a reminder. This is the essence of “Be Kind to Yourself”.

About the Author
Michelle Craske is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director of the Anxiety Disorders Behavioral Research Program, U.C.L.A. . David H. Barlow is a Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Anxiety Disorders, Boston University.
This book was recommended to me as part of my treatment for panic disorder. I wouldn’t have guessed that it was possible to completely cure panic disorder, but between this workbook and my therapist, it’s been over a year since my last panic attack. I’m sure that it is a good idea to use this workbook under the guidance of a good therapist, but it gave me my life back. There aren’t enough stars for that.
This is a therapy with good, solid science behind it. It doesn’t ask you to ever do anything outrageous or dangerous. It is simple and reasonable, and worth every penny.

Chapter 35: Letter From a Seer
It has only been a few days since Marisa has started staying in our pack and she is doing really well, especially with the twins here. I am currently getting some breakfast from the kitchen because I just woke up.
Kaden had already headed out to do pack business or whatever he was doing.
I looked around the kitchen for something to eat when I finally found some waffles in the fridge. I popped them into the toaster and hopped on top of the island waiting for them to pop up.
I hear the kitchen door open and I whipped my head around to see Kayleigh standing there. “Yes?” I asked her. She had a piece of mail in her hand.
“This came in for you Leah.” She said walking over and handing it to me. I looked at it confused because no one knew I was here except my parents’ pack and maybe Marisa’s as well.
“Thanks, Kayleigh.” She looked at me, waiting for me to open it as if it’s some surprise. “Kayleigh, you don’t have to watch. My mail is my mail.” I told her.
She then smiled and clapped her hands together. “Right, sorry. I’ll just go now.”
As Kayleigh walked out of the room I opened the mail but before I actually got it out of the envelope my waffles popped up. I hopped down from the island and put them on a plate before heading back over to the letter to see who it was from and what it was about.
I sat the plate down and picked up a waffle to start eating and I started reading the letter.
Dear Alayah Grace Kennedy,
It’s me, Meria. I know we don’t have the best relationship—well any relationship at all—but I need you to meet me. As you know I’m a seer and I didn’t get a chance to explain that to you the last time we met. There is something coming Alayah, and I’d really like to speak to you in private about it. No Kaden, no twins, and no Marissa. Just you. What’s coming could change everything and yes, I know you have no reason to trust me at all but maybe with this information, I tell you to help you out will hopefully earn that trust back.
Just think about it and if so please meet me 10 miles behind the woods at your old school this coming Friday.
~Meria the Seer
My mouth fell open and the bit of waffle I had in my mouth fell out. “What? Meria?” I said aloud to no one in particular. I set the rest of my waffles down on the plate and reread the letter again to make sure what I read the first time was right.
I set the paper down and put my hand in my hair and pushed it back. Should I go? Should I stay? I mean she did say it was important and something bad was coming. Kaden would never let me go, but he doesn’t have to know...He would figure out I didn’t tell him pretty quickly but if whatever is coming puts the people I love in danger then I want to know about it beforehand. I’ll meet with her.
“Leah, this isn’t a good idea,” Cassie said. Of course, she’d know my every thought.
“Yes, it is, Cassie. I have to know.” I told her.
I felt her sigh inside of me. “Okay, fine Leah, but if things start getting out of hand I will notify Kaden.”
A huge smile slowly formed on my face at her words. “Thank you, Cassie, you won’t regret this!” I told her.
Now the question is, how am I going to sneak out unnoticed by practically everyone?
“Alayah? Are you okay?” Kaden’s voice echoed in the kitchen surprisingly and I jumped about 100 feet in the air.
I spun on my heel and saw him leaning against the doorway of the kitchen. My eyes flickered to the letter on the counter. I had to hide it. “Yes, I’m fine Kaden. Why do you ask?” I said as calm as possible. I had to get that letter.
“Considering you jumped about 5 feet in the air I’d think otherwise because you would have sensed me.” He said coming over to me. I hesitated and I quickly grabbed the letter and shoved it in my pocket. I know he noticed but I hope he doesn’t say anything. “What was that?” He asked as soon as he was beside me. I knew he would ask.
“Private mail for me. Not for your eyes.” I said to him and crossed my arms.
Kaden was now standing right in front of me and he put his hands on either side of the counter behind me, trapping me.
“You sure about that sweetheart?” He said in a deep and seductive voice.
“Y-Yes,” I said having trouble finding my words. “Now what are you doing here?” I asked him curiously as to why he wanted to find me.
He cracked a smile. “I asked you first.”
I put my hands on his chest and pushed him back, or I tried to anyway because he didn’t budge. “Well like I said, it was private,” I told him.
Kaden opened his mouth to say something when I spotted Padua and Henry came into the kitchen. “Are we interrupting something here?” Henry asked moving a finger from me to Kaden. Kaden then removed his arms from my sides and stepped to the side as if he was embarrassed to be caught by my siblings.
“No, you’re not. What do you guys need?” I asked them.
Padua came up to me and took my hand. “We want you, Leah, to come with us.” She said.
“It’s a surprise!” She said excitedly.
I rolled my eyes. “Okay, I’m coming,” I said and followed the two of them out of the kitchen. I glanced back at Kaden before the door shut. He looked confused at what just happened. “I won,” I told him before I was dragged out of sight.
Henry and Padua took me out the front door and towards the woods. I saw many pack members out and about whether they were walking or playing with children. “Good morning Luna.” Many of them said as I passed.
I swear I told them not to call me that! I thought. I was still friendly to them and didn’t correct them because I didn’t want to seem like a bad Luna and make them hate me.
“So where are we going?” I asked as we walked deeper and deeper into the woods. Neither of them said a word. “Guys? Where on Earth are we going?” I asked once more.
“We said it was a surprise, Leah,” Henry said.
I soon enough gave up on trying to get them to talk. Henry and Padua soon stopped which caused me to run into the back of Padua. “We are here.” She said.
I looked around to where we were at. It just seemed like the middle of the forest. Tall oak trees surrounded us and you could hear the chirping of birds and the sound of running water in the distance. A slight breeze picked up causing me to shiver. “Where are we?” I asked rubbing my arms for warmth.
Both of them looked up at me. Sad expressions were on their faces. “What?” I asked once more. I was getting worried about them. Earlier they seemed so happy but now they seem sad.
“Look,” Padua said and she pointed to a cave only about 10 feet away.
I was totally confused. A cave? “Why am I looking at a cave?” I asked.
“Not the cave. What’s in the cave is what we are talking about.” Henry said.
I looked down at them and wondered what they meant by what’s in the cave. “Do you want me to check it out?” I asked them. Is that why they brought me here?
Both of them nodded their heads. “Yes, something is in there. Something—wrong.” Padua said.
“Wrong?” I repeated. Once more they both nodded their heads.
“Cassie, what do you think?” I asked her.
“I don’t know Leah. This just seems weird. I mean I cave in the middle of the woods that your siblings found and want you to go in. It seems suspicious to me.” She said.
“I agree with you. But I have to go and see what they are talking about.” I said.
“I’ve got your back, Leah,” Cassie responded. I smiled at her statement.
“Okay,” I said clapping my hands together. “Let’s go explore this bad boy.” I took both of Padua and Henry’s hands in each of my own and we walked to the ominous cave.
Who knows what we will see.

Menopause and Good Nutrition
Avoid Foods During Menopause?
If you're having hot flashes during menopause, you may find it helps to avoid certain "trigger" foods and drinks, like spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
Supplements After Menopause
Because there is a direct relationship between the lack of estrogen after menopause and the development of osteoporosis, the following supplements, combined with a healthy diet, may help prevent the onset of this condition:
- Calcium. If you think you need to take a supplement to get enough calcium, check with your doctor first. A 2012 study suggests that taking calcium supplements may raise the risk for heart attacks in some people -- but the study showed that increasing calcium in the diet through food sources didn't seem to raise the risk.
- Vitamin D. Your body uses vitamin D to absorb calcium. People ages 51 to 70 should get 600 IU each day. Those over 70 should get 800 IU daily. More than 4,000 IU of vitamin D each day is not recommended, because it may harm the kidneys and weaken bones.

from EMEKA OKONKWO in Abuja, Nigeria
ABUJA, (CAJ News) – A BLIND, elderly man and a leper have been arrested in the ongoing clampdown against illicit drugs in Nigeria.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), which also thwarted efforts to smuggle drugs into Nigeria via some airports, reported the arrests.
This past Friday, NDLEA officers in the southwestern Osun state took into custody a blind 67-year-old man, Aliyu Adebiyi, after 234 kilogrammes of cannabis was found in his house in Atakumosa East.
Similarly, a leper said to be notorious for drug dealing Haruna Abdullahi (45), has been arrested in the Garko town of the northern Kano state.
NDLEA operatives found him in possession of 2,2kg of cannabis and various quantities of Diazepam and Exol.
At the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, in the southern Enugu and the Tincan seaport in the commercial capital Lagos, the agency thwarted efforts to bring into Nigeria 126,95 kilograms of cocaine and skunk, concealed in herbal tea packs and imported vehicles.
Alleged drug cartels from Brazil and Canada are behind the consignment.
A joint examination carried out on a container marked from Montreal, Canada at Sifax Okota Bonded Terminal by NDLEA operatives attached to Tincan Command led to the discovery of 110,75kgs of cannabis Indica concealed in two of the four vehicles in the container.
At the Enugu airport, an Ethiopian Airline male passenger, Eze Christian Ikenna (42), coming from Brazil via Ethiopia was intercepted on arrival.
A search of his two bags revealed 19 sachets which he claimed to contain herbal tea but were later found to be cocaine weighing 16,20 kilograms.
Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, commended officers involved in the operations.
“He charged them and their compatriots across the country to remain steadfast and focused on winning the war against substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking in Nigeria,” Femi Babafemi, NDLEA spokesperson, said.

2 The Organization of Matter Matter Mixtures: a) Homogeneous (Solutions) b) Heterogeneous Pure Substances Elements Compounds Atoms Nucleus Protons Quarks Electrons Neutrons Quarks
3 Pure Substances Each have a fixed composition Each a unique set of properties Mercury, Hg Elements a type of matter that cannot be broken down into two or more pure substances Chlorine gas, Cl 2 Silver metal, Ag Sodium metal, Na Compounds A pure substance that contains more that one element. Sodium Chloride, NaCl Water, H2O
4 Phase Differences Solid definite volume and shape; particles packed in fixed positions. Liquid definite volume but indefinite shape; particles close together but not in fixed positions Gas neither definite volume nor definite shape; particles are at great distances from one another Plasma high temperature, ionized phase of matter as found on the sun.
5 Properties of Substances Chemical properties Observed when substances take part in a chemical reaction A change that converts it to a new substance. Physical properties Observed without changing the chemical identity of a substance. Properties of Gold are: Melting point Boiling point Color Texture Density others Physical: Melting point of 1063 oc (intensive) Color gold (intensive) Amount in weight (extensive) Chemical: Gold can be stored in air without reacting chemically with oxygen
6 Separation of a Compound The Electrolysis of water Compounds must be separated by chemical means. With the application of electricity, water can be separated into its elements Reactant Water 2 H 2O Products Hydrogen + Oxygen 2 H2 + O2
7 Mixtures Contain two or more substances combined in such a way that each substance retains its chemical identity. Homogeneous Uniform mixture in which the composition is the same throughout. Granite Brass Heterogeneous Homogeneous Heterogeneous Copper Sulfate, heterogeneous Nonuniform, different in composition throughout.
8 Separation of a Mixture The constituents of the mixture retain their identity and may be separated by physical means.
9 Separation of a Mixture The components of dyes such as ink may be separated by paper chromatography.

11 Measurements Scientific measurements are expressed in the metric system. You will need to review this system if you are unfamiliar with it. Pages 14 in you text.
12 Fundamental SI units (systeme international-units agreed upon by the science community) Mass is measured in grams Length is measured in meters Time is measure in seconds Temperature is measured in Kelvin Electric currents is measure in amperes Amount of substance is measured in moles All other units are derived from these basic units
13 Temperature Kelvin = celsius+ 273
14 Derived units Volume measured in cm3 Derived from finding the volume of a cube Length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) = cm3 Common unit (but not the SI) is liters The AP test will use liters or milliliters
15 Density the ratio of mass to volume. D = m/v SI unit: g/cm3 common in g/ml AP test uses: g ml-1
16 Significant Figures Every measurement carries with it a degree of uncertainty. This depends upon what instrument is being used to measure. We do not use the + in significant figures however it is understood that there is an uncertainty of at least one unit in the last digit place.
17 Rules of significant figures If it is a number 1-9 it is significant. If it is a zero between two numbers, it is significant. If it is a zero that tells how well something was measured, it is significant. (zeros at the end with a decimal in the number) If it is a zero that just tells how big or how small a number is, it is NOT significant. (zeros at the beginning and at the end with no decimal in the number)
18 Examples How many significant figures are in each? x 103 Answers
19 When multiplying or dividing significant figures: Count how many significant figures in each of the numbers being used. Then use the smallest amount of significant figures of all the numbers when reporting the answer. When adding or subtracting significant figures: Line up the decimals, the last place that is significant in both numbers is where you draw a line. Add or subtract the numbers, then look at the number just past the line if it is bigger or equal to 5 round up if not just drop after the line.

21 Dalton s Atomic Theory (1808) John Dalton All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged
22 Modern Atomic Theory Several changes have been made to Dalton s theory. Dalton said: Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties Modern theory states: Atoms of an element have a characteristic average mass which is unique to that element.
23 Modern Atomic Theory #2 Dalton said: Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed Modern theory states: Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions
24 Discovery of the Electron In 1897, J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to deduce the presence of a negatively charged particle. Cathode ray tubes pass electricity through a gas that is contained at a very low pressure.
25 Thomson s Atomic Model J.J. Thomson Thomson believed that the electrons were like plums embedded in a positively charged pudding, thus it was called the plum pudding model.
26 Mass of the Electron 1909 Robert Millikan determines the mass of the electron. Mass of the electron is x kg The oil drop apparatus
27 Conclusions from the Study of the Electron Cathode rays have identical properties regardless of the element used to produce them. All elements must contain identically charged electrons. Atoms are neutral, so there must be positive particles in the atom to balance the negative charge of the electrons Electrons have so little mass that atoms must contain other particles that account for most of the mass
28 Rutherford s Gold Foil Experiment Alpha particles are helium nuclei Particles were fired at a thin sheet of gold foil Particle hits on the detecting screen (film) are recorded
29 Try it Yourself! In the following pictures, there is a target hidden by a cloud. To figure out the shape of the target, we shot some beams into the cloud and recorded where the beams came out. Can you figure out the shape of the target?
30 The Answers Target #1 Target #2
31 Rutherford s Findings Most of the particles passed right through A few particles were deflected VERY FEW were greatly deflected Like howitzer shells bouncing off of tissue paper! Conclusion s: The nucleus is small The nucleus is dense The nucleus is positively charged
32 Atomic Particles
33 The Atomic Scale Helium-4 Most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus (protons and neutrons) Electrons are found outside of the nucleus (the electron cloud) Most of the volume of the atom is empty space Image: User Yzmo Wikimedia Commons.
34 Atomic Number Atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element. This identifies the atom.
35 Mass Number Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope. Mass # = p+ + n0 1 8 Arseni 7 c Phosphor5 us Electrons mass are so much smaller than a proton and neutron that they don t Contribute much to the overall mass of the atom,therefore they are not Counted in the mass number of the atom.

42 Atomic Masses Atomic mass is the average of all the naturally isotopes of that element. Carbon =
43 Purpose of Mass Spectrometry Produces spectra of masses from the molecules in a sample of material, and fragments of the molecules. Used to determine the elemental composition of a sample the masses of particles and of molecules potential chemical structures of molecules by analyzing the fragments the identity of unknown compounds by determining mass and matching to known spectra the isotopic composition of elements in a molecule
44 Stages The ionizer converts some of the sample into ions. Mass analyzers separate the ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio. The detector records either the charge induced or the current produced when an ion passes by or hits a surface
45 Interpreting Mass Spectra The height of each peak is proportional to the amount of each isotope present (i.e. it s relative abundance). The m/z ratio for each peak is found from the accelerating voltage for each peak. Many ions have a +1 charge so that the m/z ratio is numerically equal to mass of the ion.
46 Calculating the relative atomic mass from mass spectrometry 1. Measure the height of each peak. 2. Calculate the percentage relative abundance % abundance = amount of isotope x 100 total amount of all isotopes 3. Calculate the average mass mass of isotope A x abundance + mass of isotope B x abundance 100
47 Atomic and molecular weights Average atomic mass is the weighted average of all isotopes of an atom H = amu amu=atomic mass unit O = amu Average atomic mass is on the periodic table and takes into account all isotopes of an atom and their abundance

Chocolate Pie Wins Out
Nothing beats a homemade cake, right? Well maybe not everyone’s homemade cake, but think of the lightest, tastiest poppy seed cake you can imagine, baked by someone who has done these things professionally. On this particular evening—a potluck gathering of a small group of women who meet monthly to share the best magazine story each has read and who happen to all live in Oakland and to be a little food-obsessed—the baker among us volunteered her famous poppy seed cake. As it turned out, she arrived 45 minutes late, having been delayed at the office before dashing home to make her cake, which was still warm on arrival.
Meanwhile one of us, excused from bringing food because she’d been out of town, decided she could not come empty handed. So she stopped in at Sweet Adeline Bakeshop in Berkeley and bought a chocolate cream pie ($20 for a full pie; $3.50 for a slice). “We don’t have to eat it,” she said, suggesting that it could be kept in the fridge for another time.
But, with the exception of the poppy seed cake baker who was still at home baking, we all took a peek at the cake. We saw the mountain of whipped cream, heard there was the equivalent of a light-as-air chocolate dream beneath the cream, and you can probably guess what happened. Dessert time came, and while everyone complimented the baker on her poppy seed cake and had a slice, the oohs and aahs and “seconds, please” went to the chocolate indulgence.
I can tell you, there was one very annoyed person in the room, cross that she had “wasted her time sweating over the stove” making her promised cake. But then she had a slice of the pie—and guess what? When it was time to leave, she said we could all share what was left of her cake. She’d prefer to take home some of the pie. Is that what one might call just desserts?

I just love Naples! The food is… well, right up my alley! Fried snacks like arancini and frittatine, absolutely amazing pizza all over the city (I love pizza a portafoglio; folded pizza), so many sweet treats, olives, salami, seafood… the list goes on and on. I just ate but I’m hungry just thinking about it. Possibly the most incredible part is how affordable everything is though, well unless you’re like me and just can’t help yourself… if you compare the costs below to other stops you’ll see I spent more here than some others; but it was a lot of food! I think it’s a combination of me liking the food so much and the way it’s so convenient. I have a bad habit of not wanting to stop and sit down to eat a meal, so the street food in Naples is perfect!
The city has so much character too; street markets all around the city, the energy of all the people in the streets in fantastic! You can also find all the luxurious, and regular, shopping, but the markets feed such life into the city you’d really be missing out if you didn’t walk through a few. There’s also quite a large influence from all kinds of artists. I guess that’s why the city is making many of the subway/metro stations into works of art. They’re expanding the reach of the system and beautifying some of the existing stations; It should be really nice.
Then there’s the incredible history and gorgeous views… so many beautiful old churches, some cool castles, and the view of the city, bay, and Mount Vesuvius from up around Castel Sant’Elmo and Belvedere San Martino are breathtaking. I’m really looking forward to my next visit!
To top off all this awesome city has to offer, it’s also great for day trips. My favorite archaeological site Paestum is only about 1 hr. 15 mins. by train (the 3 temples there are stunning), Pompeii is even closer, at just a little over 30 mins. by train, and there are also connections by boat, train, bus, or combinations of, to the Amalfi Coast. Oh, and there are express trains to Rome that will get you there in about an hour.
And now a little look at costs for this stop…
This was a 7-night stay…
- Accommodation (Airbnb) I expect to find similar rates when booking for longer term in smaller towns, but this was an incredible deal for a single week right in the city center. – $267.08
- Getting around locally (I used the metro a little here) and day trip trains to and from Paestum – $33.16
- Living expenses, including the day trip (groceries, eating out, entertainment, etc.) – $236.69
- Mobile phones (I’m carrying a US line and an Italian one) – $10.36
- SafetyWing Insurance – $14.94
- Total $562.23 / 7 nights = $80.32 per
As usual; transportation in and out can be a big expense and I feel that would vary too much so I’ve left it out, along with any incidental/one time personal costs. Please, let me know what you think. I really appreciate your feedback!
*Some costs are approximate as I converted local currency to USD after the trip so there will be a slight variation from the real-time conversion.

3 or 4 cups of China Jasmine tea and a catch up with Vicki later, Paige and Sammy popped round and chatted to us all before we were shown all the fab crafty bits the girls had got together for us to get creative with! There were so many different things to choose from so I ended up grabbing a big old selection of faux flowers, ribbons, bows - you name it, and decided to make a little floral corsage head band. Sammy kindly gave me a few pointers how to attach the flowers and despite a few mishaps with the super glue (webbed fingers was not really ideal) I was surprised at how easy it is to create a cute little head band.
There were some amazingly creative things spilling out from all the lovely fellow bloggers with big floral crowns to bunny ears and cute little bow ties, but it was Vicki who won the prize for the best creation with her super cool burgandy studded floral head band!! Yay! We were also treated to a seriously generous goodie bag with lots of vintagey bits and bobs inside. I can't wait to go back to my 90's kid roots and crack out the floral scrunchie I had in mine :)
It had been ages since I'd properly sat down and done anything crafty so a massive thank you to Paige and Sammy for hosting so a great event and being so welcoming! It made a perfect Sunday afternoon!
