There is no denying that the food we eat has an impact on our health, energy, and overall wellbeing. It is, therefore, no surprise that we have found the same to be true for our animal companions. Where once the family Fido was given leftover scraps, or inexpensive commercial kibble, we now find that quality nutrition is important in determining quality of life and longevity.
Prescription diets, or now more often referred to as therapeutic diets, for pets have come a long way since their introduction a few decades ago. But, what does a therapeutic diet offer, versus a commercial diet, and how can it actually benefit your pet?
A pet therapeutic diet is one that is formulated to meet the specific needs of your pet. In most cases, these diets are designed to combat and/or prevent diseases that are common to cats and dogs. These diets are the result of clinical research that determines the best combination of vitamins, minerals, protein, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutritional components to manage the disease process.
Veterinary therapeutic diets can be a vital part of nutritional management for a variety of diseases in dogs and cats. Balanced nutrition is vital to all pets, but there are some conditions and diseases that can be helped through veterinary diets. Some of these include:
- Kidney disease
- Orthopedic conditions
- Endocrine disease, such as diabetes
- Skin and coat health
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Cystitis/urinary tract disease
- Weight control
- Liver disease
- Dental care
Therapeutic diets provide adequate nutrition on their own, but you may be able to supplement with fresh ingredients such as healthy veggies, protein or some fruit. Ask your veterinarian, and keep it to less than 10% of the diet. Let us know if we can answer any questions!


Tories will put GPs in charge of commissioning services for patientsBMJ 2010; 340 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.c1428 (Published 11 March 2010) Cite this as: BMJ 2010;340:c1428
- Deborah Cohen
GPs will hold the personal budgets of patients and commission services on their behalf under Conservative health plans in their draft election manifesto.
Speaking at the King’s Fund shadow health minister, Stephen O’Brien, said that GPs will be given the power to hold real cash budgets with which to commission care and their pay will be linked to the quality of the results they deliver. They will need to be trained to commission services when that responsibility is passed to them, he said.
The proposal is part of Tory plans to make the NHS more “locally driven” and “patient centred” giving people more responsibility over their health. Part of this move would mean that clinical need would determine funding flows.
“Politically motivated” …

Happy first of May and Happy Cinco de Mayo! Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “5th of May”) is a celebration of Mexico’s cultural heritage and pride. The festivities include parades, mariachi band performances, street festivals and of course — margaritas!
Mr Sweetie is Mexican-American which is why Cinco de Mayo is celebrated at our house. (Ok, I admit, it is a great excuse reason to make and drink margaritas at home! This is the one and only time each year that we ever drink hard liquor at home. He is not a drinker while I like wine and champagne, and the occasional drinks with girlfriends.)
The idea of drinking fruity margarita on a weekday seems fun and naughty whenever Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekday. However, this post is not about margaritas. It is really about corn bread with green chiles. The recipe has been adapted from the book “Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking” by Toni Tipton-Martin. It is called Spanish Corn Bread in the book. Jubilee is such a wonderful cookbook that I found at the San Francisco Public Library. The photos are mouthwatering. The book is a celebration of African-American cuisine and its history. It gained many accolades including being a winner of the coveted James Beard Award.
I made the Spanish cornbread in June 2020, just less than 3 months after California went into the first lockdown. I thought that May will be the best month to post it in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. This cornbread is so moist, so good, so delicious — the best one ever that it is a keeper. I will definitely make it over and over again! And in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I chose to post this delicious corn bread recipe.
I thought that I would also include my pretty little doll in the photos that I got during our trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 2016, as well as the red bowl that I bought from a market in Mexico. They remind me of beautiful memories of our travels.
Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, mix together the corn, buttermilk, chiles, cheese and egg. Gently fold in the green onions.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until combined. Do not over mix.
Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron pan in the oven until foamy. Do not burn. Tilt the pan to coat it with the melted butter. Pour the batter into the hot skillet.
Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
Of course the original recipe is perfect but I would like to honor and respect not just copyright laws but the efforts and love that went into creating it by re-writing the recipe in my own words as much as possible. (I also do not want to plagiarize!)
The changes that I made were: 1) Instead of using onions, I used green onions. 2) I also used a different title for my post from the original title in the book “Spanish Cornbread.”
When I made the cornbread, I made half with chiles and half without. I only included the chiles in one half of the batter. The other half was just cornbread without the chiles. I made it this way because I knew that Mr Sweetie would not want chiles in his. I poured half of the batter without the chiles first then I mixed in the chiles with the other half then I poured that half into the skillet. It worked!
I also used self-rising flour and omitted the baking soda, salt and baking powder.
This cornbread is so good drizzled with honey!
Did you make CORNBREAD WITH CHILES? Please let me know by leaving a comment below. Enjoy!
Eating this shrimp salad sandwich was like summer in my mouth. It had freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped crispy cucumbers and celery which were contrasted with the taste of sweet onions.
The tangy homemade sriracha mayo perfectly complements the flavors of juicy and plump shrimp. I used toasted sourdough bread to cradle all of these deliciousness. It was truly a medley of flavors and textures. Sriracha is a type of spicy Asian hot sauce. It is made from pepper paste, vinegar, sugar and salt. Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) is often served with sriracha on the side. I have always eaten sriracha with Asian food at mom and pop eateries in the Bay Area. with my friends for as long as I can remember. In the last decade or so, sriracha became a trendy food among foodies and has become mainstream. Check the aisle of your local grocery store. You might find it right next to soy sauce and other Asian spices and condiments.
When I made this sandwich it was on a lovely spring day (in stark contrast to the gloomy winter-like weather we are having at the end of April in the San Francisco Bay Area). I love both types of weather so I am not complaining. However, if you ever make this sandwich, I hope that it is on a lovely, bright and sunny day wherever you are. Take it outside in your patio, backyard or balcony. Enjoy it with a glass of crisp white wine (Pinot Grigio, maybe?) or a glass of iced tea. Cheers and enjoy!
Happy Spring! I hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous days of this season. While we sadly did not get to enjoy much March showers in California which officially put us in the drought category, spring has come. California poppies, daffodils and flowers of myriad colors are decorating the Bay Area landscapes.
I always associate mangoes with summertime. Philippine mangoes are known for their sweetness and juiciness, and much enjoyed during the hot summer days in the Philippines as snack, dessert or side dish. I have always been “Team Sweet Ripe Mango” but many Filipinos are “Team Green and Crunchy Mango.”
I was given mangoes by my brother in law when I visited my family few Sundays ago. Today, I thought of making salsa to complement my pan fried salmon with garlic and rice while I was working from home.
The star of the show on this post is the Mango Black Bean Salsa while the pan fried garlic salmon is taking a supporting role. The salsa is very easy to make. No cooking needed, and you can personalize it according to your taste. You will be rewarded with a variety of flavors — sweet, tangy, salty and spicy. This is summer in your mouth, y’all! And I should add — healthy!
Before I list the recipe below, I just want to say that life has been very busy lately, with lots of challenges but accompanying blessings that are bigger than the challenges. I am still cooking and baking. I also have been visiting your blogs and enjoy them tremendously. I will send those hearts your way very soon.
PAN FRIED GARLIC SALMON WITH MANGO BLACK BEAN SALSA
MANGO BLACK BEAN SALSA
1 ripe mango
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and washed
Cilantro, minced (about 1/3 c)
Jalapeno or chili peppers (sliced)
Red onions, chopped (about 1/4 c)
Avocado, cubed (optional)
Cucumber, cubed (optional)
A squeeze of half of a lime, or to taste
Salt, to taste
Fish sauce, (optional — omit salt if using fish sauce)
HOW TO SLICE A RIPE MANGO: Stand the washed mango on the thick bottom end using one hand. Using a sharp knife with your other hand, slice from top of the mango down on one side.
Repeat with the other side. You will end up with two halves, and a middle section which is the seed.
Take one of the mango pieces. Make cuts resembling a chessboard but do not cut through the peel.
Bend the sliced mango. The mango flesh will pop out in to squares. At this point, you can use your fingers to feel the squared segments of mango flesh off the skin, or use a small knife.
Repeat with the other side of the mango, and slice the mango flesh from the seed. (This is the part where I love to take a break and eat the mango from the seed or pit, whatever it is called.)
Transfer the sliced mango into a bowl.
Steps 1-5 were the “hardest” part in making this salsa but it will really just take you 2 minutes to slice a rice mango.
Take the rest of the ingredients you are using — black beans, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, avocado, red onions, cucumber and mix them all together with the mango.
Season with salt or better yet, add about 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Enjoy!
GARLIC PAN FRIED SALMON
1-2 slices salmon for frying
1/2 head – 1 head garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Season the salmon slices with salt and pepper.
Heat EVOO on medium high heat then fry the salmon skin side down on one side for about one minute.
Turn the salmon on the other side to fry. Turn down the heat to medium.
Watch the middle of the salmon as it turns from transculent pink to opaque salmon color. This indicates if the salmon is already cooked. Before the fish turns completely opaque, add the garlic pieces to the pan and fry until golden brown, being careful to not burn the garlic.
Serve the pan fried garlic salmon with a generous side of mango salsa and steamed rice.
It is recommended to use ripe mangoes for the salsa. Overripe mangoes will be too mushy.
The Mango Salsa Black Beans Salsa recipe is very forgiving. You can choose to make it without heat, or make it mild or super-spicy. You can choose to not include avocados and/or cucumber but the combination I provided in my recipe will provide a robust flavor profile of combined ingredients.
I also like my salsa chunky but you can make the mangoes and other ingredients smaller if that is your preference.
How long you cook the salmon is a matter of personal preference. We like the salmon slightly pink (raw) in the middle while others like their salmon fully-cooked. Just do not over cook the fish otherwise it will become dry.

Chelsea play Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday in the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final. Here, Press Association Sport looks at some of the talking points.
1. HOW WILL THE SIDES COPE WITH THEIR FA CUP HANGOVERS?
Liverpool could only draw 0-0 with Bolton after Chelsea had conceded a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to Bradford. Jose Mourinho said: "Does this affect the next match? I don't know. Because many of the players were not directly involved in the game, I don't think these players can be affected." Wholesale Blues changes are expected, while the Reds will call in reinforcements, too.
2. SPECIAL ONE CONTINUING TO DISH OUT LESSONS?
Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers celebrated their birthdays on Monday - turning 52 and 42, respectively. Rodgers worked under the Portuguese during his first spell at Stamford Bridge, but as a rival is yet to get one over his master. The 1-1 first-leg draw was the first time in four meetings that Rodgers' Liverpool have avoided defeat against Mourinho's Chelsea.
3. ATMOSPHERE MATTERS, ACCORDING TO MOURINHO
Mourinho has bemoaned playing in an "empty stadium" in critiquing the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge this season and again spoke of the support following the first leg. "If Stamford Bridge can give us 25 per cent of the emotion Anfield gives Liverpool, I think we can do it," he said. Are the fans irked by his repeated criticisms, though, and can Liverpool quieten their hosts?
4. STRIKING DISTRACTIONS
Daniel Sturridge could return to his former club and play for Liverpool for the first time since August, but Mario Balotelli remains a distraction for the Reds. Chelsea, too, have striking issues. Without Diego Costa - like against Bradford - they look blunt, with Didier Drogba and Loic Remy firing only intermittently. If Costa suffers an injury, Chelsea could struggle to replace his goals.
5. DEFENSIVE JITTERS
Liverpool's defensive struggles have been well documented, but are Chelsea, and particularly Gary Cahill, also in trouble? Cahill was part of the defensive unit which conceded four to Bradford and five to Tottenham, where Harry Kane gave him a tortuous time. He back-pedalled frantically for Raheem Sterling's strike at Anfield and Liverpool will aim to get at him again.
Chelsea are monitoring the situation of Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling, after the England international turned down the Reds' latest contract offer, according to the Daily Express.

But I have finally used it to burn a flower pattern and some writing onto the wooden hearts, which I bought at Hobbycraft. I have added some Platinum Stickles to the designs too as you need a bit of bling, don't you?! The paper hearts were cut using my Sizzix Framelits die and Que Sera Sera paper. The frame has been recycled from an old family picture pre-Euan and had some Hobbycraft roses and gold leaves glued to it. I have it hanging in my kitchen, where I see it almost all the time.....I spend ALOT of time in my kitchen!
So, as you will probably have already guessed, our theme at Dream Valley this fortnight is Valentines / Love and we are sponsored by Meljens Designs. The team have made some gorgeous creations using a few of their designs. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations too.

The spring salmon fishing season starts in Scotland in January and runs through until the end of May. At this time of year some of the largest and most powerful salmon are consistently caught. It is not uncommon to land fish weighing in excess of twenty pounds during the spring months in Scotland. As the fish are usually very fresh the power they possess is second to none. Scottish spring salmon truly put both angler and tackle to the ultimate test. It is often the case that you don’t catch large numbers of fish during the spring months but the fighting qualities and the size of fish certainly make up for this. Many anglers prefer to catch two spring salmon in a day rather than eight or ten fish in a day later in the season.
Scotland has a number of prime rivers for spring salmon fishing. We have hand-picked some of the most productive spring fishing salmon rivers in the country for this package so that you stand the best chance of making contact with the king of fish at this special time of year. This exciting package offers the choice of three different fishing locations which can all be very productive depending on when you want to fish in Scotland during the spring season.
The Thurso river is one of the most productive spring salmon rivers in Scotland. The Thurso is located in the majestic Scottish Highlands where the scenery is truly jaw dropping. The Thurso River opens its banks to anglers on the 11th of January with the prime spring months usually being April and May. When fishing on the Thurso we would recommend that anglers stay at the fabulous Ulbster Arms Hotel which is located on the banks of the river. The hotel has been welcoming salmon anglers fishing the Thurso for decades and is a true fishing mecca in the area.
Another river which is productive during the spring months is the majestic River Spey. The Spey needs little introduction in Scottish salmon fishing circles and runs through the world famous whiskey country. There is no finer location in Scotland to fly fish for spring salmon as the fast flowing nature of the river makes it perfect for swinging a fly. The River Spey opens in February and regularly produces spring fish on opening day. The best time to chase spring salmon on the Spey is between the months of March and May. When fishing on the River Spey we recommend that anglers stay at Aberlour Hotel for fishers who have four legged friends and the Mash Tun which is also located in the pretty Speyside town of Aberlour. Both hotels are no more than a stone’s throw from the river itself.
The mighty River Tay holds the British rod caught record for an Atlantic Salmon weighing sixty four pounds which was caught in 1922. The River Tay opens its banks to anglers on the 15th of January and produces fresh hard fighting spring salmon from opening day. The Tay is the largest river we offer in this package and it has a reputation for produces large fish with fish caught regularly in excess of twenty pounds with some tipping the scales over the magical thirty pounds mark. April and May are usually the most productive months for spring fishing on the River Tay. We recommend that anglers fishing the Tay reside in is the beautiful village of Dunkeld which is situated on the banks of the river. Dunkeld was recently voted the best place to live in Scotland so you can see why it is such a firm favourite among visiting anglers in the area. The hotels we use in Dunkeld include Dunkeld House Hotel as well as the Atholl Arms. Both hotels are situated on the banks of the Tay and have a fine tradition catering for fishing guests.
To get the best from your Scottish spring salmon fishing experience we recommend three days fishing with four nights’ accommodation but as with all of our packages this can be tailored to suit your requirements. Many anglers consider catching a Scottish spring salmon the ultimate achievement in our wonderful sport. This exciting package allows you to experience exactly why!

For many like me, Maze War was the first FPS played in computer developed in 1974, also tried spasim developed by Jim Bowery that many call father of the FPS genre but with only multiplayer component and i didnt like that first experience and i also think is very far from what we have today in the genre, only in 1992 with Wolfenstein 3D and all the subsequent titles were based on, was when I really become a fan of FPS shooter concept.
When in 1993 Doom is released, we definitly had a new genre that heavly influenced what we have today, trough things get always some kind of evolution, to me it still refreshing playing this game now was it was in 1993, it isnt only a gem but a concept, a concept that shouldnt be forgotten in years to come.
In this package you have icon games that marked a generation, and only for that, it is a must have for any FPS lover, you also get a better version of Doom 3 and Doom 3 RoE with the Mod Lost Mission already incorporeded in the game was new campaing.
Besides the Graphic overall, i find this version more stable that any of the single releases here on steam, i would pay the full price for this game again, since it have nostalgic valor to me, but if this is just another shooter to you, wait for a sale because this isnt 2015 game, and expecting that will only bring you frustration.

Born in 1955 - France
The bronze sculpture serie “Géants/Giants” features the monumental aspect of the artist’s style, even in these miniature studies. In fact, these sculptures are designed to evolve into a much larger size. In regards to the diminutive size of these artworks, the gold sparkles help detach the piece from its environment and conveys the spectator to a very personal dialogue…. Bright light projected by the gold gives the sculpture a new dimension.
“Géants / Giants” resonates with influences from renowned sculptors that marked history.
Henry Moore had an important and long lasting influence on the early works of F. Gaulier. Moore’s wood and stone carvings often begin as very small pieces that evolve in sculptures of different dimensions.

Which direction should the CPU fan blow?
Posted 30 August 2007 - 12:49 PM
Posted 30 August 2007 - 12:51 PM
The other fans I usually have a big one in the back under the power supply blowing out of the case, one in the front of the case blowing air inside the case, and the one on the side blowing out of the case away from the cpu.
Here is a small diagram
Edited by jaxisland, 30 August 2007 - 12:53 PM.
Posted 30 August 2007 - 01:09 PM
I have an ASUS motherboard which uses something called Q-Fan, which is supposed to adjust the CPU fan speed according to the temperature. I have set it to "Performance" mode which is supposed to be the coolest, and my Core 2 Duo is at 51 degrees at idle with the CPU fan speed at around 850rpm. Is something wrong here - I don't think I trust Q-Fan... How should I be regulating my CPU fan? Do most people just leave it on max?

Welcome to the Bulldawg Illustrated Hoops Report. It’s like being the 10th best player on a nine man team. And that’s about where the Dawgs are right now. On the outside looking in. The worse news is we have hit the meat of our schedule. We really need to go 2-1 in our next three and that won’t be easy. Heck, we are at a pivotal point in our season and we’ll probably only be favored in two of our next six games. Luckily, we’re riding a one game win streak right now after beating hapless Mizzou Wednesday night 60-57. And I assure you we didn’t win because of great play. We won because they’re bad.
Up next, Arkansas. We are a two point home favorite here after going 0-2 vs the Hogs last year. If we lose this game, we either have to close the season hotter than any UGA team ever or win the SEC Tourney to make the Big Dance. But before we head out on the ledge, let’s celebrate Missouri. Hey, we’re thankful for the little things here.
At Mizzou, the Dawgs looked horrible in the first half and we were tied at 22. Then we played like a tournament team for the first 10 minutes of the second half and built a 16 point lead. Unfortunately, we went ice cold and got outscored 23-10 in the last 9:40 and only won by three. As we stated on prior to the game, the Dawgs biggest issue is consistency and that was on display Wednesday night. As far as scoring, the Four Horsemen scored 53. The rest of the team scored seven. We’re going to need more points from the rest of the squad against most teams down the stretch. We have to elevate our game quickly because that performance would lose the next four.
Arkansas is coming into Athens off losses to LSU and UK. They had been playing as good as anyone since league play began until the recent setbacks. Hopefully, it’s a recession and they stay cold. But I don’t care what their record is. This is a game that never seems to be easy. Outside of a blowout in 2012, the biggest margin of victory we’ve had in Athens since 2010 is five. That’s really what I’d expect on Saturday.
One of the announcers Wednesday night said the Mark Fox told them for the Dawgs to take the next step, Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann need to be better than they were last year. And I think he is 100% right. While that has happened occasionally on an individual basis, it’s not happened but once or twice collectively. Saturday night that must change. We’re teetering on the brink right now. Those two are seniors and they’re Damn Good Dawgs. They have to shoulder the load right now. While Yante Maten and JJ Frazier have been outstanding almost all year, these two have struggled to produce night night in and night out. Let’s hope Coach Fox can figure out the problem because it’s do or die time. Let’s roll out heavy Dawg fans and show the love on Saturday. The Stegasaurus needs to be crammed, hot, and loud come 6 pm. Wear out your red. Wear out your black. And let’s wear out the Hogs. Do Dawgs!

If you’re looking for a liquid homeopathic supplement that might work to relieve some signs of mild constipation‚ Guna-Bowel by GUNA Biotherapeutics may be right for you.
According to supporters of homeopathy‚ highly diluted amounts of natural substances may act to stimulate your body’s ability to heal itself. For this reason‚ every serving of Guna-Bowel contains herbs like nux vomica (which might have a gentle detoxifying effect) and bryonia alba (which may help address minor digestive discomfort). Moreover‚ kali carbonicum may be particularly helpful for women because it might work to regulate bowel movements during menstruation. As a result‚ this GUNA Biotherapeutics supplement may help address certain symptoms associated with constipation‚ such as abdominal pain or bloating.
Since proponents of glandular therapy believe that tissues from animal glands could potentially act to stimulate the functioning of similar glands in humans‚ Guna-Bowel also contains diluted colon and rectal tissue.
Each bottle of GUNA Biotherapeutics’ Guna-Bowel contains one fluid ounce of solution.

Barr + Wray are delighted to have completed and handed over the first Olympic Legacy Pool from the 2012 Olympic Games. The London games pool and filtration plant has been installed at the University of Bath and is the first 50m Myrtha Legacy Pool of its kind to be installed. Working with Main Contractor Ikon Construction, Barr + Wray w carried out the decommissioning and removing of the existing pool and filtration plant before installing the new 50m Olympic Legacy pool and filtration plant.
This legacy pool will be used by the university as well as being a training facility for the British Swimming Team. This state of the art swimming complex will be fitted with underwater cameras and windows so that the training can be analysed.


The release of Hollie Cook’s debut album was one of the more surprising and pleasing reggae releases of last summer, an all-too-brief excursion into tuneful roots-style treatments of some new tracks, together with other songs gathered together from across the years. This new release – ‘Hollie Cook in Dub’ – now revisits those vocal tracks in a straighahead dub style, adding three additional dubs for good measure. This restyling, courtesy of Prince Fatty, generates a sound that faithfully reproduces the pre-digital pre-computer cut-and-paste echo and reverb methods of the King Tubby/Niney dub era, and excellent indeed are the results. ‘For Me You Are Dub’ is a standout, a rapid fire version of an Andrews Sisters’ song of the 1940s (which, backed with its vocal version, is released as a 7” single on 30th April). Even more unlikely, ‘And the Beat Goes On’ is a slowed-down dub reverb-laden reconstruction of the Whispers’ disco track from the white-trousered and smart-jacketed 1970s, while a dub take on the Shangri-Las’ ‘(Remember) Walkin’ In The Sand’ is possibly more than could reasonably be expected. ‘Milk and Honey Dub’ and ‘Crying Dub’ are also strong contenders. While most reviews of Hollie Cook’s music seem compelled to mention that her father is Paul Cook of Sex Pistols renown, it isn’t really necessary to know much about family lineage to appreciate this unexpected and excellent release which can readily speak for itself.
So far as live performance is concerned, Hollie Cook’s band established their reputation by playing Big Chill, V, Festibelly, One Love, Jazz Cafe in 2011. This year, there are plans for a release of a further album of new material and a 20-date tour, with notable performances confirmed at Bestival, Camp Bestival, The Vintage Festival. Summer 2012 sees Hollie Cook play to her biggest crowd in Manchester, supporting The Stone Roses in their historic comeback. Great expectations indeed.
Prince Fatty Presents Hollie Cook in Dub: release 21st May 2012

We're all getting familiar with online classes, online presentations and online meetings. But the UNC Adams School of Dentistry is advancing a new form of virtual contact — online dentistry.
During the COVID-19 outbreak and because of the a statewide stay-at-home order, Carolina Dentistry is offering teledentistry services through a virtual helpline to patients and oral health care providers.
This online service was developed to try to maintain patient-centered care while limiting the dental clinic to emergencies only, according to University Communications. Patients are able to virtually connect with a health care professional who provides advice for non-emergent oral health needs or referrals for emergencies that must be addressed face to face.
The helpline also allows oral health care professionals throughout North Carolina to speak with a specialist for patient consultations or referrals during an emergency.
Dr. Shaun Matthews, an associate professor at the dentistry, aided in the development of the oral heath care helpline. Matthews said the line intends to try to and keep as many patients as possible at home.
“If we can manage patients who have dental problems by providing them access to specialists at our school, the UNC Adams School of Dentistry, by offering them teleconsultations using either audio-visual conference calls or just telephone advice, then it makes complete sense to do so," Matthews said.
Dr. Rocio Quinonez, the associate dean of educational leadership and innovation at UNC Adams School of Dentistry, also helped develop the line. Quinonez said the shift to remote forms of care also provides educational value.
“We are very excited about this initiative and the original vision that teledentistry becomes part of our student component, teaching students how to do this,” Quinonez said.
Dr. Scott De Rossi, dean of the school, said despite COVID-19 being a significant human tragedy, it has created a sense of urgency for the development of teledentistry.
“The biggest challenge historically has been state law and a very restrictive state practice act, which has limited dentists' and hygienists' abilities to do the things that now we’re able to do as a result of COVID,” De Rossi said. “Hopefully, there will be some good that comes of this as we’re able to get a bit more latitude, new legislation, and the ability to change the state practice act so we can meet the challenge of being more efficient, treat patients where they are and create a better impact.”

Tax Impact for Change in Use
Properties rented out for short-term accommodation and as well as being used by property owners come under the Mixed-use asset rules. The mixed-use asset rules limit deductions in relation to the property and any excess deductions are quarantined and offset against future year’s rental income.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and international travel bans, the Airbnb property owners have had a significant impact on their income from Airbnb properties and some property owners have had to make some tough decisions during this time.
Some are bearing the ongoing property costs in wait for the economy to recover, some are selling their properties, some are moving into those properties themselves and others are switching from short term rentals to long term fixed rentals.
Change of circumstances to the rental property may lead to change in use and as a result Airbnb property owners’ need to be aware of the GST and tax implications.
For example, if a property owner decides to start renting the property to a fixed long-term tenant the property will be then subject to the new legislation for ‘The Ring-Fencing of Residential Rental Property Losses’ applicable from 1 April 2019. Under this legislation any expenses or deductions greater than the residential income is ring fenced and available to be offset against future year’s rental income.
If your Airbnb activity was registered for GST, then you will also need to account for the GST on the change of use. If the change of use is temporary, then a change of use adjustment will be required in the next return and this would be a proportionate calculation. However, if the change of use is permanent, then a final adjustment will be required in the next GST return ceasing the taxable activity and return of GST on the property as deemed market sale value.
The new legislation ‘The Ring-Fencing of Residential Rental Property Losses’ is not applicable to Airbnb properties being rented out for short term rentals and being used by the property owners as well. However, any properties rented out for short-term rentals 100% of the time as an Airbnb without being used by the owners will be subject to the Ring-Fencing of Residential Rental Property Losses. As the activity won’t have any private use element and won’t be considered as a Mixed-Use Asset.
Please refer to our previous publication on ‘How to choose the right business structure for your residential rentals after ring-fencing losses were introduced”.
We suggest Airbnb property owners to consult with their accountants or tax advisers if they are planning on making any major changes to their Airbnb activities. Please contact your GECA advisor now on 0800 758 766 if you require any assistance with either your short- or long-term rental properties and if you have any questions as to how the change of use impact you as a property investor.

Scottish Widows wants those on low incomes to continue to receive workplace pension contributions from their employer even if they cannot contribute.
Share this article
Nearly a third (31%) of people earning between £10,000 and £20,000 per year have reported a decline in their finances during the coronavirus pandemic, according to research from a pensions provider.
Scottish Widows is calling for reforms to entitle those on low incomes to continue receiving workplace pension contributions from their employer – even if they are unable to make employee contributions themselves during periods of financial hardship.
As a result of job and income losses, Scottish Widows estimates that low earners have potentially missed out on a combined £122 million in pension contributions from their employers during Covid-19 – a figure that nearly triples to £325 million if including personal contributions.
The latest Scottish Widows retirement report also found that more than half (54%) of people are concerned about running out of money in their later years and a quarter (23%) expect to “work until they drop”.
Pete Glancy, head of policy at Scottish Widows, said: “Covid-19 has had a massive impact on the nation’s finances, particularly on those who were already struggling financially.
“Those working from home have benefited from reduced commuting costs and everyday expenses, allowing them to boost their savings. But those on lower incomes – and less likely to have worked at home during the pandemic – have seen their finances hit hard and are leaning on savings to cover bills and short-term needs.”
More positively, the research also found that the proportion of people saving adequately for retirement – meaning they are saving at least 12% of their income – reached a record high at 61% this year.
This progress is being driven by younger savers – those in their 30s – the report found.
Mr Glancy added: “While 12% of earnings going into your pension will provide a basic standard of living in retirement, a minimum of 15% is more realistic for anyone hoping to enjoy a more comfortable retirement.
“And there are great swathes of the working population – for example, the self-employed and those earning less than £10,000 – for whom auto-enrolment doesn’t apply. A radical rethink is now required to tackle the post-pandemic challenges.”
– More than 5,000 people across Britain were surveyed in March and April.

A Buyer’s Guide in Choosing the Best Meat Grinder for Deer
Meat grinders, just like many other kitchen appliances we have, come in various features. When shopping for the best meat grinder for deer, you may want to look into the meat grinder’s power, capacity, ease of use, and many other essential features. You can refer to the buying guide below.
Your meat grinder should have the muscle to grind your venison. The power is your grinder’s driving force. So, you should pay consideration to the motor power to ensure that it provides your needs. If you were to pick a meat grinder, you may want to consider opting for one with a 3000-watt high motor. Or at least, one with a motor power higher than 1000 watts.
But if you’re looking for one for personal use, the lowest powered option should suffice. When it comes to commercial and professional applications, a strong motor is a way to go. It’s worth noting that having a meat processor with a powerful motor unlocks lots of possibilities in your kitchen.
The grinder’s capacity is just the maximum quantity of meat the grinding machine can handle at one time. So, it’s important to consider the amount of meat you wish to grind. Before you purchase the new meat grinder, consider how much ground meat you need, or how big your family is. You must pick a meat grinder with a larger capacity in line with your needs.
You want to ensure that the machine you pick is durable enough to go through hard labor without breaking a muscle. If you want the highest strength and durability, choose one with metal inside elements considering they’re likely to last the longest
Opting for a meat grinder with plastic components is a no-no since they are prone to breaking. They’re just not up for the task of heavy workloads. Consider them as a downgrade. A meat grinder made of stainless steel with a head and auger is a preferable choice.
Ergonomics and Ease of Use
The principle I live by when buying a new appliance is that if it’s not intuitive, it’s probably not worth it. No matter how great the features are. But that’s just me.
However, be sure that the convenience of the operation of a grinding machine is a top priority, especially if you go with an electric grinder. Check to see if it has a high rating for being easy to operate. Always consider the one that will spare you time and cost.
Another thing to consider is the machine’s ergonomics. Is it easy on the hands? You must always choose a machine that is simple to build and operate. It must be convenient as well as hygienic. Picking an ergonomically designed grinder also means getting one with an auto shut down mechanism.
You should always check to see if a meat grinder comes with any extra attachments. The goal here is to make the entire grinding process even more enjoyable. Grinding plates are the first component to hunt for. The major purpose of grinding plates is to allow you to control the coarseness of your ground.
Electric deer meat grinders feature a variety of grinding plate sizes that correspond to the grinder’s diameter. While certain grinders have a single grinding plate, others may include as many as two plates for coarse and fine grounds.
Aside from grinding plates, keep an eye out for machines with several extras, such as a pasta maker and a Kubbe attachment. Many grinders even have an auger, extra cutting blades, as well as a food pusher.
Unfortunately, you can not avoid noise with meat grinders. if you buy a powerful grinder, expect it to be rather loud. It’s a trade-off that some are willing to sit and endure the noise powerful machines produce. But some grinders generate lesser noise. So, you may want to consider them, especially if you’re going to use your meat grinder at home.
The versatility of a grinding machine is among the most important consideration. Many meat grinder manufacturers deliver multi-functional or adaptable grinders. Certain machines are designed to only slice meat. While others are build to cut veggies. As well as prepare various sausage sizes.
I recommend that you pick a grinder based on your requirements. Consider what you intend to perform with your grinding machine. Getting versatile equipment lessens the cost of having to buy a separate tool for other purposes. Think about all the attachments you need in a grinder.
Cost and Warranty
After you’ve determined the primary features you need in your grinder, you’ll now have to consider how much you’re willing to spend. When buying a new grinding machine, always set your budget. It will help you filter out your options to the most appropriate ones for your budget.
But sometimes, you do get what you pay for. Cheaper machines may come with faulty features. While a more expensive and higher-end grinder will save you the headaches. The good news is that you could get affordable grinders without sacrificing the quality. There are also machines with great features and perks that may still fall within your budget.
The warranty is another important factor to consider. It’s wise to get a reliable machine that comes with a warranty. A two to five-year warranty is good, and a lifetime warranty is even better. Throughout this time, you can conveniently arrange replacements or repairs with the manufacturer in case the machine breaks down or becomes defective.
Venison Grinding Tips
If it’s your first time grinding deer meat, there are a few suggestions to follow. The goal is to improve the quality and flavor of the venison. You can use your own technique if you’ve been grinding before, otherwise, you can follow a few tips below.
Clean the Grinder
First and foremost, you need to make sure your grinder is clean. You must also see to it that the surrounding area is clean, as well as other tools that you need with your meat grinder. Sanitation is a crucial part to prevent any contamination.
Grind It Cold
Make sure the meat is chilled for at least 30-45 minutes before processing. But before you freeze them, cut the meat into quarters, and save loins and tenderloins for your grill. Keeping it cold firms up the deer. Cold meat preserves its shape in the grinder, and it offers a better grinding result. It also prevents bacteria from growing as you grind it.
Keep Meat Only
Before putting it into your grinder, you need to get rid of anything that isn’t pure muscle, like bones. You should also remove as much silver skin and fat as you can. These parts of deer can give your ground venison unusual texture and flavor.
I know I said remove fat, but your ground meat can get dry during the process. This technique can be done later if you want to have greater control over the volume of fat and texture of your ground meat. If you’re grinding venison to make hamburgers, the added fat will bring taste and juice.
You can do coarse and fine grinding with a machine that has two or three plates. You can rub the tough meat twice to break them down. Running the venison through the grinder twice will give you the best results.
How To Clean and Sharpen the Blades
Meat grinders should be simple to disassemble and reattach since you’ll have to clean the parts and hone the blades. If you have a decent understanding of how to maintain a grinder, it can last a while.
Detach all interior components such as knives, grates, funnels, and other accessories after using the machine. You need to wash all components with warm water and soap. Then, dry them using a clean cloth. Until the next usage, it would be prudent to oil and keep them in a dry place.
You should use strong sandpaper in sharpening the blades, and you can begin with 500 grit and work your way up to 1200 grit. In a circular fashion, run the blades over the sandpaper.
To start, wet the sandpaper with a little water, allowing you to get rid of the fine metal debris you’re stripping away. Then, use a Sharpie to see if you’ve sharpened the blades uniformly. After sharpening the blades, the final step is to wash and sterilize them before your next use.
Keeping Your Meat Grinder From Clogging
Clogging is a frequent issue with meat grinders. It doesn’t matter how powerful they are, this problem seems to be unavoidable. This is due to grinding tough meat and fatty bones without regard for the capacity and strength of the machine. When your grinder is clogged up, you may notice a slowdown in performance as well as loads of problems. There are a few things you can do to prevent this problem.
Prep your meat.
You must first ensure sure your meat is well prepared. This entails getting rid of all the silver skin. Sinews, ligaments, and tendons must be removed from the equation. In a nutshell, anything that isn’t meat you need to remove. You can use a thin, sharp blade to remove the connective tissues from the meat.
Cut venison into smaller pieces.
Another thing you can do is to cut the meat into smaller chunks before grinding. If venison is too big, it can clog up your grinder. You can cut them to a length and a thickness of 1 inch so that your grinder can smoothly run through the venison.
Freeze deer meat and grinder’s gears.
In addition to preparing your meat, you may freeze the grinding plates, blades, and meat at the same time. This way, you’ll get better grinding results since the grinder can seamlessly break down much of the connective tissue. Also, do not grind bones unless the manufacturer indicates this. Some machines are just not designed for the task.
Sharpen and clean your grinder.
Lastly, always clean and maintain the blades and plates of your meat grinder. Each occasion you load the meat into the machine, the blades and plates do the work. So, if these two pieces get dull, it will affect the machine’s performance, leading to clogging. You can sharpen and clean them frequently upkeep their sharpness.
Deer Meat Grinder FAQs
What does the number mean on a meat grinder?
Your grinder’s plate diameter determines the number of holes in the grinder plate. Hence the bigger the plate, the more holes in it. So, a 3/4-inch plate for a #10/12 grinder could have 5 holes, whereas a #22 grinding plate can have 6.
Is it worth buying a meat grinder for deer?
If you’re a seasoned hunter, you’ll benefit from a good meat grinder. Such a device pays off handsomely. You unlock more recipes and you are sure of getting natural, and protein-dense meat if you grind them yourself.
What do you mix with deer meat when grinding?
Venison or deer meat is quite flexible, and once ground, you can incorporate it with virtually anything. One of the many things you can make out of deer meat is a venison burger and cheese. You can also add mustard, bacon, pig belly, and barbecue sauce.
Should I add fat to ground venison?
Yes, you could. But you need to be careful with adding fat. Fat acts as an emulsifier that holds the meat together and preserves its juiciness. If you intend to create venison burgers, you may add 10 to 20 percent fat. A 90:10 ratio should yield a lean patty. An 80:20 ratio can yield a thicker patty. Adding fats to your sausage is also great to make it juicy.
Should you double grind venison?
Yes, especially if you grind larger chunks of meat. You may need to grind twice, first using the large or medium plate. Then, you can work your way to the tiny plate. It’s a wise move to return the meat to your freezer for 10 to 15 minutes each session to keep it cool.
The LEM Bite Electric Meat Grinder may be the best meat grinder for venison. It has four horsepower options, multiple accessories, and it’s powerful enough to grind multiple animals. But if you’re looking for a machine for professional use, the Chef’sChoice Professional Meat Grinder could be an excellent option. It’s a compact, versatile meat grinder that’s enough muscle to grind venison in less time.
Looking for a heavy-duty machine that’s up for the task? The STX Turboforce Electric Meat Grinder may be the one you’ve been looking for. It’s a powerful, versatile grinder that comes with several useful attachments. It’s also reasonably priced for all the attachments and features it offers.
The Gourmia GMG525 Meat Grinder could also make a great addition to your home. This powerful machine also offers a wide range of features and functionalities. Plus, it’s very affordable. But if you’re really looking to save, the Sunmile Electric Meat Grinder has features that could outperform many higher-powered machines within its power threshold.
There are many meat grinders out in the market today but not all can handle the task. I hope you’ve found the ideal meat grinder for your venison, and make sure to check out the latest prices and discounts on these fantastic machines above. Good luck, and happy grinding!

Friends of Sunspel: David Shrigley
With a limited-edition new David Shrigley and Sunspel collection launching this summer, we caught up with the irreverent artist to talk about his working wardrobe and living every day as if it’s his first (at art school)
Did you always want to be an artist?
Yes, although I didn't realise it was actually a career. Even when I left art school, I didn't really think that that was an option. Immediately, once I left, I focused completely on making drawings. More for practical reasons than anything else – just because I could sit at my desk in my shared flat and make drawings and I didn't need to have a studio or a lot of money. That kind of evolved into making self-published books as a way to disseminate the work.
Your work is known for being irreverent and witty. When you create art do you tend to have the viewer’s reaction in mind?
I think you have to make the work for yourself. I’ve learned over the years that you have no idea what other people will like, and you don't really know what their response will be. So, it's kind of pointless trying to anticipate that. I think my work is a dialogue with myself; to somehow try to surprise myself or to say something that intrigues or confuses me or that I don't quite understand. When I make an artwork, it’s for me to be intrigued by what I've made myself. When you stop feeling that way, then it’s probably time to stop and do something else.
What’s a typical day like for you in the studio?
I try to do an eight-hour day, although I usually have a nap in the afternoon. I always say to myself, if you physically put the hours in, the work makes itself. If you create things, you almost don’t want to think about it too much; the work evolves as part of the process. That's what works for me. I have a little motivational statement stuck onto my drawing board that says “Just get on with it”.
Do you collect art?
I tend to buy stuff from younger artists, when I feel like I'm doing them a favour by buying their work. I’ve got an awful lot of stuff. I wouldn't spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a painting, because I can't afford it, but I like to buy things that have a sense of place. I buy local pottery and things like that.
Do you have any of your own work hanging up at home?
Oh, no. I drink tea out of my own mugs because they were free but, no, I don’t want to look at my own artwork. Obviously, I have it in the studio, but I don’t want to come home and look at it. I’d rather look at someone else’s work
What do you like about Sunspel?
I was aware of the brand and already have a few bits and bobs from Sunspel. I guess it's my kind of style; it's quite classic and timeless. I’ve always felt like it sells really good staples. If you want a really nice merino wool sweater or something that just fits the bill, you can buy it over and over again for your entire life. It always looks smart and is always really reliable.
You collaborated with Sunspel last Christmas. How does this new collection compare and what was the aim?
I do a few brand collaborations but generally I try to work with people whose products I actually use and like, which is obviously the case here. The problem with Christmas projects is that they are not very sustainable – you only wear them once a year – so we decided to do a winter sweater with an environmental message so that it could be worn all winter long. It went down really well, and the product was really nice. Now we're doing a spring/summer range, which is I suppose a natural progression, and much more about re-imagining a historical Sunspel motif which is based on the growing of the cotton which requires both sunshine and cloud.
What’s your favourite piece?
The one thing I will definitely wear is the polo shirt; it's kind of my uniform, wearing a black polo shirt with the top button done up. It fits really well with my wardrobe.
David Shrigley Silk Scarf in White
David Shrigley Tote Bag in Off White
What is the most important thing you’ve learned in your career to date?
I always say that I want to live every day as if it was my first day. Not necessarily my first day on Earth, because I would just be born, but your first day at art school where everything is new and an adventure and exciting. It’s really desirable to try and see everything anew every day. You always learn something and if you don't have that attitude, then maybe you become jaded and bored and unhappy. It's good to feel like you're always at the beginning rather than at the end. I'm very opposed to this idea of art as a demonstration of excellence and of trying to make the masterpiece, created by the master. I'm never going to be the master; I'm always going to be the student.

Even after losing 110 games in one season, he was not fired. And they will challenge to win the World Series (WS) for the first time in two years. This is the story of Arizona Diamondbacks manager Tori Lovello (58).
This year’s Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason is full of surprises. Teams that were considered favorites for the championship were eliminated one after another, with the Texas Rangers and Arizona surviving. In particular, Arizona had the lowest regular season winning percentage (0.518) among the 12 teams participating in fall baseball, but succeeded in advancing to the WS.
Coach Lovello, who leads Arizona, expressed deep emotions after winning Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, saying, “I went through dark days. Two years ago, we lost 110 games.” As he said, Arizona recorded only 52 wins and 110 losses in the 2021 season, ranking last in the MLB along with the Baltimore Orioles. Coach Lovello’s career winning percentage is less than .500 (495 wins, 537 losses).
Coach Lovello, who led the team to the division series in 2017, his first year in office, has not even reached the threshold of fall baseball for five consecutive years. He started out as an unknown player, developed a career as a coach, and became a manager, but faced a crisis. Public opinion arose over the dismissal of Arizona general manager Mike Hazen, who hired Lovello, and Coach Lovello’s position was also shaken.
Commentator Lee Chang-seop said, “We went through a difficult time when General Manager Hazen’s wife died after fighting a brain tumor. In a situation where it was difficult for the General Manager to step down, it was difficult to hold only the manager responsible. As a result, we became closer as we overcame the difficult process.” explained.
Coach Lovello, who overcame difficult times, brought the team to the highest level. At the center of it all was exquisite pitching management. Arizona is using only three starting pitchers, including ace Jack Gallen, KBO league player Meryl Kelly, and rookie Brandon Pott. However, various bullpen pitchers were deployed in the right positions to fill in the gaps. This is thanks to the full trust that Manager Lovello placed in pitching coach Brent Strom. Coach Strom was the pitching coach when the Houston Astros won the championship in 2017.
Commissioner Lee Chang-seop said, “Coach Lovello originally seemed a bit clunky, but he became flexible. It was big that he recruited Strom as coach and entrusted him with the pitching part. At the same time, focusing on what he could do better had a big effect.” did.
Arizona took note of the rule changes this year. As it was expected that the stolen base success rate would increase as the size of the base increased, a large number of fast-moving players were added to the lineup. A representative example is rookie Corbin Carroll, who recorded 54 stolen bases this year. Arizona, which ranked second in stolen bases in the regular season, made up for its lack of offense by successfully stealing 21 bases in the postseason.
Coach Lovello has a close relationship with Oakland Athletics advisor Billy Beane, famous for ‘Moneyball.’ But I am not a data believer. However, it is not an ‘old school’ style of supervision that places emphasis on past customs, but is closer to an administrator-style director. Commissioner Lee Chang-seop said, “We refer to data, but do not rely on it. This is the ‘manager-type supervision’ that is popular these days.”
Lovello was an unknown player. He debuted in the big leagues in 1988 and played 11 seasons, but only had a batting average of 0.225 and 15 home runs in 303 career games. In 2000, he also played for Yakult Swallows in Japan. So I understand the players’ feelings well. Kelly and Ilhwa, who have emerged as top stars this fall, are one such example.
Kelly, who joined Arizona in 2019, struggled at the beginning of the season. Although he achieved success in Korea, he was a rookie who reached the big league stage at age 30. Director Lovello used shock therapy. He called him into the room and said, “You are the worst pitcher in the National League right now. If you don’t get better, I have no choice but to send you out.” He continued, “I want to keep using you as a starter. You have to show me that you have the ability.” Kelly changed his pitching and transformed into a pitcher who won 48 games in five seasons.토스카지노 도메인
Lovello and Arizona’s challenge is ongoing. They returned home after winning 1 win and 1 loss in the 1st and 2nd games of the away game. In the third game to be held at 9 a.m. on the 31st, Texas announced veteran Max Scherzer and Arizona announced Pat as the starter.

In collaboration with local non-profit organisations, CIRCa has been programming the tours of a wide range performances all over Gers territory. We put up our big top for a few weeks in populated areas at the request of local authorities. We wish to forge bonds between shows, audiences and artists.
Local councils, non-profit organisations, schools, social welfare groups, artists visiting for one night or in residence gather their energy to encourage the development of cultural and artistic practises or simply to take time to exchange experiences.
Together with our partners, we devise how we are going to do it during a preparation period. Then, our big top becomes a space with a convivial atmosphere to meet and share artistic emotions.
Since 2001, we have put up our big tops at:
- Plaisance du Gers
- Valence sur Baïse
Since 2013, CIRCa’s new programme Nomades has been hosting circus artists in residence. The companies are selected to do two sets of two weeks residence work over a two years period. The big top stays one month in the municipality for the artists in residence work period and local organisations.
During the time they are in residence the artists meet several times with the local population during public rehearsals or shows.
Local organisations (culture, sports, social welfare, schools…) have the opportunity to present the work they have done during amateur artistic workshops under the big top and to organise events that encourages gathering and conviviality.
In 2015, CIRCa's Nomades took place at Auch, in the neighbourhood of Garros in the framework of Garros ParadiZe project run in collaboration with Gilles Cailleau from the company Attention Fragile.

Plans to build a council pay and display car park in a tourist hotspot has caused anger.
Anglesey Council want to set up a 21 space facility at Ffordd Llechi in Rhosneigr, which the authority says will help alleviate parking problems in the village during the holiday season.
But some villagers are even questioning whether the development is needed at all with 10 sending in formal letters of objection.
Jonathan Thompson, whose family has lived at Ffordd Llechi since the 1960s, is opposed to creation of a car park.
He said if it gets the go ahead it will mean loss of “green land” where children play ball games.
“This insensitive plan will destroy a cherished local amenity, cared for by the community for over 50 years. The existing village pay and display car park is rarely used, and is often 90% empty.
“We do not need another permanent car park.”
But according to the authority, a consultation meeting held in the village back in 2010, saw parking raised as one of the biggest issues in Rhosneigr.
The plans, which will cost around £77,000 if given the green light, would be expected to recoup between £6-£7,000 a year in parking fees.
In its planning application, Anglesey Council said: “The authority is aware of traffic flow issues along the High Street, especially in peak season with additional visitor/tourist traffic and also when vehicles towing boat trailers require access to the beach.
“The provision of a designated and signed parking facility off Station Road should reduce the demand for vehicles to travel along the High Street when seeking to find a space.
“We appreciate the land is of significant commercial value as a potential development (housing). However we strongly believe that the proposal will be of greater value in terms of social and economic asset/facility for the community of Rhosneigr.”
Mr Thompson, however, is adamant that more pay and display facilities are not needed.
“The council could easily fit more cars into their existing pay and display carpark if they redesigned it.
“I also question why they submitted plans for housing at this very same site a few years ago, if they so desperately thought it should be a public carpark.”
In response, a spokesperson on behalf of the Isle of Anglesey County Council, said, “The availability of parking in Rhosneigr is limited with many instances where the only existing car park is full to capacity.
“A previous consultation study called Rhosneigr Coastal Recreation Infrastructure Masterplan identified additional parking as the top priority.
“The proposal of an extra car park on Ffordd Llechi would provide a much needed parking resource to the village and manage demand.”

World renowned MIT or Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have World’s best brains, but the place of innovation is not very different from other campuses and society in general. According to a latest survey, about 17 percent of women and 5 percent of men in MIT experienced sexual exploitation of some form.
The findings of the survey reminds me of the movie Legally Blonde, where a brainy blonde played by Reese Witherspoon manages to get admission in a prestigious University. The movie wanted to dispel the myth that blondes are dumb. There, her Law Department Professor touches her inappropriately and demands immoral favors. For what? For ‘A’ Grades in Tutor Marked Assignments.
