This tag along bike will be available for loan to guests at Wheatland Farm Eco Lodges on an ‘ask us first’ basis. It should help younger families get out and about. Euan has already test driven it up to the farm shop for a cake! Continue reading “A reclaimed tagalong bike joins the fleet for our lodges and cottage”
We want to see if we can bring down the per night energy use in Otter Cottage, currently double that of the lodges.
So to start we’ve added some energy saving timer switches – now on the immersion heater (as in the lodges) and the main room heaters.
They mean the immersion top up can’t be accidentally left on after it’s needed for a dull day. And guests won’t accidentally leave the heating on all day if they go out.
It does mean they’ll have to get up and press a button every two hours to keep the heaters on, but they’ll still be in charge.
The kitchen lights are now the new extra-low energy LED types (3.5 Watts each), which are getting better in quality and coming down in price.
I expect we’ll need to do more. But this should all help. Especially with those (very few) ‘outlier’ energy users who seem (perhaps completely unintentionally) to have the entire electrical capacity of the cottage on full blast for the length of their stay.
How long do you think a chair should last? Personally I think it should be more than the two years this one managed. I guess someone gave it a bit of abuse – one of the front legs was levered out of its fixings.
So that meant more fixing for Ian to do. We always try to repair rather than to replace things that break – quailty permitting. And this time I suspect Ian’s repairs have actually made it stronger. It wasn’t the most sturdy original build I’ve ever seen. And it took most of a morning to rebuild. So that makes it quite an expensive chair now, considering what else we could have been doing with the time.
But shouldn’t ‘consumer durables’ be built to last a little longer? The manufacturing date stamp on the bottom said 8 Nov 2008.
Surprising news. It looks like our electricity consumption has dropped 25 percent. Last time we looked up our annual electricity use it was 28,000 kWh, based on 12 months of electricity bills. That was a little over a year ago when we started planning for a wind turbine. But just recently we’ve had to do our bench marking for our Green Tourism Business Scheme assessment, and our annual electricity consumption from September 2009 to September 2010 was 20830 kWh. That’s 25 percent less. Amazing – and very encouraging. Shame I can’t find last year’s September to September figures for a tighter comparison.
How did we do it? It certainly wasn’t dropping visitor numbers – we’ve had a good year. I guess the 28,000 kWh could have been before all the solar heating went on and the cut out switches were installed for the immersion top up. And we’ve added timer control to the hot water in our own house (which runs on a back boiler with an immersion when the fire’s not on). And then there’s the washing – we’ve tried hard to keep it out of the tumble dryer on and on the line.
All in all it’s made a big difference to those electricity costs. And we’re not through yet. Cutting the energy use in Otter Cottage will be one of our next projects.
It’s nail biting stuff when it’s your own £8000 worth of windows coming off the lorry… The double glazing for the new eco lodge has arrived from ecomerchant, an ethical company supplying sustainably-sourced goods. We went for double glazed throughout in the end, as we wanted the incoming heat (solar gain) that mainly south-facing double glazing offers and didn’t really need the noise reduction triple glazing confers (or the price tag). The windows will still be extremely efficient in terms of energy conservation.
When ecomerchant rang with the delivery details we said ‘OK, we’ll get some friends lined up to help.’
‘You’ll need a lot of good and strong friends’ came the answer!
And one of the nicest things about the day was that people readily turned out to help us get the glazing under cover. Bruce from the school car share, Paul who put us in touch with the gosling lady, Andrew and Tim Roberts, our neighbouring farmers. Thanks to you all, and to local contractor Andrew Tucker for going above and beyond the brief handling job we asked for.
It was like something off Grand Designs, and when the telescopic handler started lifting the main window out of the lorry I was terrified. But Andrew clearly knew what he was doing. You must need real patience to move such a big bit of machinery so carefully and slowly.
Ian has just about finished the lime render ‘scratch coat’ on the eco lodge – just about in time. Lime needs to stay frost free for several weeks after application or its surface spoils. So it’s pretty late in the year to be rendering the outside of the new eco lodge. But we needed to get it done so we can finish putting back the wooden boards on the higher sections, where they hold down a vapour-permeable membrane that in turn protects the wood-wool boards.
So rather than risk the whole thing Ian has just done the base coat, and the top coat can wait until next spring.
Meanwhile, he’s also started on the other side of the ‘sandwich’ wall, putting up the wood wool boards on the inside – and the straw bales behind it. Here he is, taking a break from stuffing the gaps.The lime render, by the way, came from local supplier JJ Sharpe, just 10 miles away in Merton.
A year has past since I started monitoring our waste and recycling – so it seemed a good point to look at the stats. And I’m proud to say our guests have help us keep nearly 80% of our waste out of landfill. 78.956% is the conservative estimate – for those who hanker after spurious accuracy – but it’s probably higher because of the things we’ve given away or freecycled, which I’ve not included.
How do I figure that out?
It’s part measurement: all the ‘household waste’ – for our 4 lodges and the cottage, plus our own – has been weighed on bathroom scales. The TOTAL comes to 483kg over 12 months.
Sounds a lot, but can it be put in perspective? It’s not easy without being glib. But here’s a start. The average PERSON in the UK generates 500kg of household waste a year. Household waste is approx 31 million tonnes a year – roughly one tonne per household. (If those 2 stats – both from the same source – tie up, average households are 2 people, whereas we usually cater to family groups).
We’ve weighed up the recycling too – 609kg at the kerbside plus a further 515kg that the council won’t handle that has been taken, by us, for recycling (drinks cartons, clean food plastic, cardboard etc) or separate disposal (batteries, the odd toaster etc) or kept here for separate onsite composting (wondering what? It’s dog poo!).
Then there’s the estimates of food kept out of the bin by putting it in the compost heap (us) or the biodigesters (guests & us). Assuming our guests only keep half the UK average food waste out of their bins, that comes to 366kg of food waste going into our 5 biodigesters (0.82kg per household per occupied night, based on 2009 national statistics.
We estimate our own compost heap and biodigester contribution has been 318kg over the year – a bit high maybe, but that’s based on the average 6kg of food a 2.4 person household puts in the bin each week, and we’re 4 people plus many house guests.
It adds up to a staggering 1812kg of waste kept out of landfill.
And that warrants a huge huge thank you to everyone who has stayed here in the past year and whose efforts have made this possible. You’ve made an outstanding contribution to keeping Devon the great place you wanted to visit. THANK YOU!
The bales have arrived for the eco lodge – 300 of them…
…but they’ve not come far. From just 4 fields away to be precise, supplied by our neighbouring farmer Denzil Pinhey. For now, we’ve unloaded them into the garage. Next task will be to figure out how to go about getting them up. The straw is the sandwich filling between 2 slices of wood wool. But do we put the timbers or the straw up first? I guess we’ll do a bit of test construction before gathering a bale- raising party.
Here’s a brief video explaining how (and why) we graze our Popehouse Moor Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)…
It’s on our nature blog too, where more people will probably see it, but just for completeness here it is…
We’ve found a local energy assessor to do our SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations. At the design stage of a dwelling you have to show that it will have a sufficiently low carbon footprint when it is being used (its energy running costs if you like). Sufficient that is to meet current building regulations. Every dwelling has to have both a design and final stage SAP (and after September 2010 the rules for the design stage get even stricter). Our assessor is John Harding (07810 388263) – Ian picked him because he showed a real interest in our unusual build and seemed keen to get involved in sustainable building (plus he’s local to us in Devon, living in South Molton, and says he can sharpen a mean scythe!) The SAP gives you a score on a scale where 100 would be complete carbon neutral (ie running the building has no net carbon footprint).But to get the score you have to assess a lot of component parts – and big parts like floors, walls and roof can themselves be complex. For example, between inside and outside of the building you have an insulated cavity (straw in our eco lodge) but in places structural components bridge that cavity – called ‘non-repeating thermal bridges’ – like the window sills and where the rafters join the tops of the walls. All these have to be detailed so you can calculate the thermal transmittance (or resistance) of the wall. To get the figures right you need to consider the materials used, their thickness (eg the stud work) and how much of the wall they represent. The windows also need to be considered. They will lower the SAP score because they transmit heat out. But they have their good side too – through solar gain. So their contribution to the score depends where they are on the building and what you use to glaze them. We have big South facing windows (they gain heat in the winter when the sun is low but absorb less in summer when the sun is higher in the sky) and also East facing openings (West facing windows can absorb too much heat during the summer, meaning you need to cool the building, without offering that same heat in the winter when the Sun is more southerly).
We’re pretty sure we’re going to put double glazing in the big south facing windows because they’ll give us more solar gain. Triple glazing is more about sound proofing, and although it does retain more heat it also keeps out warmth from solar gain in winter (but windows on the northern side, where the entrance door is, will be triple glazed). The design stage SAP should help us understand the consequences of that sort of choice.
And then again your SAP score also depends on how you are planning to run the building – what you’ll be using for heating and hot water etc. Interestingly, a less well insulated building that is efficiently heated and powered can have a similar SAP score to one that is well insulated but more poorly run.
Of course, we’re aiming for the highest (best) SAP we can get. John said that if we’d known exactly what we were going to build (and how) before even picking up a trowel we could also have applied for the higher levels of the BREEAM code for sustainable homes.
But our build is more ‘as you go’ than that, partly because we’re researching it as we go along – finding our local source of timber, and our straw bales from a neighbouring farmer ‘across the fence’. And BREEAM certification also comes with a hefty price tag attached.
So we reckon the best way to get the highest SAP score we can is to take advantage of the requirement for design stage calculations and then see where we can make improvements.
Another of our fridges has gone to freecycle.
This one is going to be a temporary beer fridge at a Devon sports club that is planning some big events over the summer. At least they’ll get a bit more life out of it.
Here’s a quick tour of the new eco lodge before all the walls go up and the cladding goes back on. Early days yet!
…so this time we chose an A+ model. Instead of sitting inside a cupboard (which restricts air flow and so lowers efficiency) this one is free standing.
And the old one? Well eventually it will either be freecycled or taken for proper disposal, but for this summer we hope to use it for a trial of pies and quiches, made by Fiona’s Farm Fayre, just up the road, but available onsite with an honesty box. Hommity pie within easy reach – almost unbearable temptation!
A guest coming to the lodges in September recently asked me if I’d heard of Winkleigh Pine, because a friend of hers had a great kitchen made by them. It reminded me to blog the new chairs for Nuthatch Lodge, bought from Winkleigh Pine who are ‘just round the corner’ at Seckington Cross. They make lovely furniture, much of it out of reclaimed timber. They’re on the road just north of Winkleigh as you get out towards the WW2 airfield. When the last set of chairs had given up the ghost and had started a new life as bee hive stands I bought the new ones from them. We prefer to shop locally (less than a mile here) and even if these chairs aren’t from old wood, it’s good to support a business that sources so much of it’s materials sustainably. Winkleigh Pine’s website is here, though the pictures don’t really do justice to the lovely stuff they make. And if you go in the shop, look out for the suit of armour!
Here come the joists for the mezzanine floor in the new lodge. They are larch, and about twice as heavy as the spruce we’ve bought for the walls.
But like the spruce it has all come from Mike Moser’s oak woodland restoration project 8 miles away in Week. Not your average looking lumber yard perhaps, and we had to borrow the trailer from Andrew at the farm shop, but Ian brought it all back and and stored it away.
We don’t need it yet – Mike wanted it out of the way. He milled it last winter. Some of it is still losing resin. The bees might like that – they use resin to make propilis (filler to glue up gaps in their hives).
Finally some walls are going up, and we can begin to envisage the views. This is looking out from the master bedroom through walls taking shape out of wood wool.
To quote the supplier, Ty Mawr,:”They are strands of wood bound together with minerals. The Ty-Mawr range of boards conform to EN 13168 and are certified Ecobiocompatible. They are waterproof, freeze-proof and damp-proof, making them appropriate for use in even the most severe temperature conditions. Swiss regulations classify these products as practically incombustable.”
And as an added bonus, they have low embodied energy and they’re good sound barriers too, which will be useful for the internal walls.
The wood wool boards make a sandwich, with straw bales for insulation in between. They’ll be rendered (probably with lime) on the outside. I quite like their tactile appearance, but it could be a bit overpowering!
Here they are stacked up. One advantage on a self build is that they’re pretty robust to the elements, and don’t have to be covered up immediately.
We’ve been taking regular meter readings for a year now. Not to charge guests – electricity is included – but to better understand our usage. I’ve blogged about some of the results before, but now I can look at a full annual cycle.
And that confirms that we’re doing pretty well, but there’s still room for improvement.
I’m taking an annual energy usage figure for the UK of 3,700 kWh electricity and 19,000 kWh gas for each household (from Climate Change Without the Hot Air). Turn that into a per night figure and you get 62.19 kWh. But our overall average usage figures per occupied night are 14.3 kWh, 17.1 kWh, and 16.4 kWh for Beech Lodge, Nuthatch Lodge and Honeysuckle Lodge respectively. Otter Cottage comes out at 32.1 kWh per night.
You might argue that we probably have more occupied nights in the summer, and this will tend to skew the average. But a glance at the plot shows pretty good coverage over the year in warm and colder months – we have a lot of out of season weekend breaks and we also had a couple of longer-term bookings in the winter season. So I think it’s a fair approximation.
It’ll certainly do as a baseline anyway.
Our next challenge will be to bring down the energy consumption in Otter Cottage, which is high compared to the super-insulated wooden lodges. Already we’ve added solar hot water (March 10), and the most recent readings are promising compared to this time last year. But we know that in the winter it’s space heating that eats up the energy, so solar won’t be the whole answer.
Hopefully there will be more good news in the months and years to come.
We were runners up to Pipex – but they deserved it…
Pipex won this year’s Devon Federation of Small Businesses Environmental Responsibiliy Award but we still got to go and get our finalists’ certificate. It was a bit of a posh do – Ian had to dig out the black tie thing. I had to find a dress – haven’t worn one these last 10 years.
It was fun – a night out in Torquay. We met the team from Pipex – a much much bigger outfit than us and producing plastic fittings – so working in a field where you have to carve out a green niche. They’ve done a lot and were worthy winners.
Now I’ve got nothing against South Devon, or Torquay for that matter, but I have to say one of the best things about the night was coming back home and leaving suburbia and B&Qs and mini round abouts far behind.
The may blossom is festooning the hedgerows, the foxgloves are out, the chickens are around the door and the clover is flowering on the ‘lawn’. I shan’t miss corporate life even if it’s another 10 years before I wear a dress again.
Instead of sporting company branding, the outer box had orignally held staples.
Inside, instead of polystyrene, there was a mesh-cut cardboard sheet for padding.
So good for them! Simply using less and reusing more should be common, and hopefully commercial, good sense.
[Maggie] On Saturday we hosted a walk for the Winkleigh Society. It was a follow up to my wesbite project, Winkleigh Places, back in April.
Of course, Popehouse Moor is my most treasured place near Winkleigh, and it was lovely to be able to share it with other local people who don’t normally get a chance to see it. It was just a shame that the orchids aren’t out yet.
I have to say that one of the best bits was actually when we got back – and sampled Marie Claude’s cakes and a much needed cup of tea. Ian had put chairs out in the new lodge, as yet without it’s walls but that just enhanced the view. The lodge itself doesnt look much, but it’s only just ‘out of the ground’. That’s Mike Moser’s wood in the background ready to become very local and sustainable stud walls.
…that brings us up to 5. And we need them all to deal with waste from the lodges and cottage that would otherwise end up in the bin.
If you’re not familiar with this design of biodigestor, it’s basically a basket dug into the ground with a double walled cone on top to speed up decomposition. You fill them up only to ground level, unlike a compost heap. And you can add most food waste, even bones and pizza, again unlike compost.
And then you wait for it all to slowly disappear into the soil. We rotate which one is ‘open’ while the rest get to work.
No, they don’t smell.
But don’t let anyone tell you that rats won’t be a problem – they will if you don’t take action. A plastic basket sunk into the ground isn’t much deterrent to a burrowing rat. To keep the beasties out of ours we’ve wrapped the basket of the green cones themselves in chicken wire (2 layers) beore putting them in the ground. And we’re taking the top layer of soil off all around the mound where the green cones are, covering it with chicken wire and putting the earth back again.
I think we should all be dealing with food waste at home, and not putting it out at the kerbside to be trucked around the country and thrown into landfill. But the hard truth is if we’re going to do that we’ve got to plan to deal with the unwanted wildlife that attracts. That or just waste less in the first place!
We’ve been selected as a finalist in this year’s Devon Federation of Small Business Awards We’re one of 4 finalists in the Environmental Responsibility category…
…The others are the Dartmoor Chilli Farm at Ashburton, Pipex Ltd, and Schooling Building Contractors Ltd. Having had a quick look at the competition I’m impressed! Don’t think we’ll be writing our acceptance speech just yet, but hopefully come the awards ceremony (4 June) we’ll at least get to meet some like-minded and interesting people, whether or not we win.
Ian has been helping rebuild the website for the Instrumented hive project, based in in North Devon. It’s a group of enthusiastic and experienced bee keepers with a special interest in electronics!
The group organises beekeeping courses, hosts regular bee-keeping meetings, and is particularly interested in studying bees in ‘instrumented hives’.
The IHP hopes to unravel some of the intracacies of bees, such as the sounds and comb vibrations (particularly as pre-swarm indicators), how comb structure varies in feral or near-feral situations, how to control varroa mites with a biotech rather than a bio-chemical approach.
The IHP maintains colonies and facilities in special apiaries in North Devon and Tyne & Wear. Some of the colonies are housed in bee houses, with the flagship cabin (BeeLab One) capable of housing dozens of special hives together with recording and analysis equipment. The group has growing links with researchers studying eusocial insects, entomology and evolutionary biology. Their two key advisors are:
Dr Peter McGregor, Cornwall College (previously Copenhagen University) – senior scientific advisor
Dr Seirian Sumner, Institute of Zoology, London – entomology advisor
If you’re interested to know more, check out the Instrumented Hive Project website!
Ian has put the solar hot water panels onto Otter cottage, the last of our self catering accommodation to get them. These ones should really cook – being on a south facing roof. All we need now is the sunshine. Poor Ian must have wondered whether it was all worth it as he worked alternately on the roof with rain dripping down his neck and in the loft with tar dust falling in his hair!
We rushed it through because guests who had booked Beech and Nuthatch lodges also wanted the cottage – a birthday party get together.
The system came from Navitron again. Ian says they’ve made some improvements. The new pumping station was much easier to fit than the old one and the clips on the actual tubes were better too.
Once again we’re seeing the value of buying local. Ian is working on the floor for the new eco lodge. The first step was to get rid of the old floor and non-structural block walls. We were going to break up the concrete and re-use it in gabions to build a bank and reinforce the front of the building (waste not want not!). But Martin Bragg, our local (and reliable … and well-priced…) digger driver had a better idea – scrape up a temporary bund, build the bank with the recycled concrete, then cover over with earth. Thanks Martin, that saved a few pounds on difficult-to-fill wire gabions, gave us the structure we needed, and created a much better feature.
Next task was to source the aggregate for the floor. The first lot came from Jewsons in Okehampton (11 miles), but it arrived in a huge delivery truck that buckled the edge of the concrete drive and barely manoeuvred through the gate. So when we realised a local builders merchant, AMP building supplies, was based at Winkleigh’s old WWII airfield, that seemed much more sensible. Phil turned up in a much smaller vehicle, and instead of having to set up a business account, with credit references etc, he just said ‘I’ll leave the tab open if you’ll be wanting some more’.
And once that was done, we needed some custom-made steel ‘shoes’ to keep the existing wooden posts inside the building from penetrating the damp course (see picture). Sounds complicated. But luckily, Chris Hodgson’s engineering workshop in nearby Hollocombe was more than willing to help, even tidying up Ian’s sketched drawings before they went for fabrication.
It’s surprising what’s available on your doorstep when you look! It’s good for us, and it’s good for the local economy too – these are the people we meet ‘down the pub’ and in the village, and that make Winkleigh a thriving community.
Ian has finished calculating the thermal insulation value (the U value) for the floor of the new eco lodge. Well, it’s not quite finished yet, as the picture shows, but here’s the plan.
The U value measures the overall ability of a wall/roof/floor to prevent heat loss. It’s measured in Watts per square metre per degree Kelvin (W/m2.k) and takes into account all the thermal conductivity (k values) of the components of the structure, as well as other factors that affect how heat is lost from the building. Until recently, building regulations required floors to have a U value of 0.7 or below. That’s now been brought down to 0.22 W/m2.k. So how do we fare?
The floor will be high-proportion recycled aggregate, then 150mm insulation (Kingspan, for it’s exceptional insulation value, which we think outweighs it’s only light-green manufacturing process – well they have been trying at least), then another 150mm of concrete made of 70% ash cement and recycled aggregate. Because it’s above the insulation, this layer becomes part of the thermal mass of the building, acting as a heat store to help regulate temperature. On top of that we’ll be putting down larch floor boards sourced locally (8 miles) from Mike Moser’s oak woodland restoration project.
Overall, that will give us a U value of 0.11 W/m2.k – twice as good as the 2010 building regulations.
[Maggie] We’ve taken a huge stride forward in habitat management this year. But now it’s time to finish the job by tidying up! We’ve been burning brash from our ‘scrub bashing’.
We have a lot of really overgrown hedgerows on the farm, and in Popehouse Moor SSSI the willows have ‘fall off’ the Devon banks, and branches have taken root in what should really be grassland. Too much willow isn’t good for wet grassland – it sucks the water from the ground, transpiring it through leaves, drying out the soil.
If you’ve been on a guided tour here, you may not agree with botanist Mary Breeds, who last year told us the site would be better wetter, but we’ve taken her advice and cut back some of the invasion.
My Dad started it over Christmas – with just a bow saw. Inspired by the potential that small difference made, we had 2 days chainsaw work done. That’s by no means all of it, and we don’t want to hit it all too hard in one go. But it has revealed some of the old hedge boundaries, and will significantly increase the grassland area.
Now we have to get the branches off the ground before the spring comes. If the birds start nesting there we won’t be able to shift them. And the boughs will set root in the wet ground again, making the problem worse than ever.
So it’s been bonfire time…
And for anyone who’s thinking ‘what a waste’, we’ve saved what we could, as you can see in the wood pile. Our trouble is getting it off the moor and back up to the house where we can burn it. There’s no vehicle access and the ground is boggy.
Log by log then? Lots more excuses to go down to this special place!
Energy monitoring has helped us make a surprising but sustainable business decision. We’re no longer rushing to change the shower in Beech lodge over to the solar hot water system as there is no energy saving case for it. Let me explain.
Since last summer I’ve been following the energy consumption of our lodges and cottage pretty closely. I take meter reading after most bookings, and work out the energy use per night and also per guest night for each holiday.
Two of the lodges have all their hot water on solar systems with immersion top up (they sleep 4-6 people). Larger Beech Lodge sleeps 6-8 and has solar hot water for its bath and basins (with immersion top up), but not for its shower, which is on-demand electic. Otter cottage is different – and I’ll come back to that!
After we finished the solar installation, we meant to change the shower in Beech Lodge over to solar hot water in the autumn, but held off, worrying that the winter sun in Devon wouldn’t be anything like enough to provide hot water for a potential 8 showers a day, and that the immersion heater would be slow to keep up too – especially as we have a timer switch limiting the immersion heaters to two hours on at a time.
And now, the energy monitoring confirms that this was a good choice, and in fact has persuaded us not to change it at all for the time being. Look at this graph of energy use per night for all 4 of our holiday accommodation units.
Beech Lodge, the brown squares, is pretty much indistinguishable from the other lodges in its energy use per night, even though it sleeps the most people (up to 8). In fact, Otter cottage consistently uses more energy than any of the lodges, even in the summer, even though it only sleeps 4.
And when you look at the energy use per guest per night, you see that even in summer, when most of the energy use will be for water, rather than heating, Beech Lodge with its electric shower (blue diamond now) is no worse than the other lodges. And in the winter, it’s arguably better.
That’s probably because more people are sharing the winter heating component in the larger lodge. And that’s probably also part of the reason that Otter Cottage energy use per guest night soars in the winter. The cottage attracts more couples than families, and its conventional stone construction makes it harder to heat.
There are some other excuses. Otter cottage electricity supply runs the shared washing machine and also an always-on pump. Nevertheless, having now seen Otter Cottage’s rising winter consumption we’ll be looking for ways to reduce it. Solar hot water, planned for this spring, would probably be good here – it would run the bath and basin (and probably the shower too as there are fewer guests to service).
And we have some other ideas for making the space heating more efficient – but that’s for another post.
[Maggie] This post is a big thank you to everyone who stayed at our eco lodges and cottage over Christmas and New Year. We asked you to recycle and you certainly did!
Totted up, a total of 146 people nights over the two week holiday period (that figure includes us) produced just 13kg of kerbside waste – and at least 43kg of recycling. I say at least, because that doesn’t include the cardboard and paper yet to be taken to the recycling centre, or any estimate of food waste going into the green cones – and I know you were using them.
So at a time when people often falter on their green intentions, you’ve really made a difference, cutting what might otherwise have gone to landfill by well over 75%, and probably somewhere between 80 and 90%.
Thank you so much. Sorting the rubbish can be one of the more disheartening jobs for accommodation providers trying to be green – but not this time, and that was an extra Christmas present for me!
We just don’t use it much – the prompt this time was needing to refresh the welcome information in the lodges and cottage.
We used to buy office supplies from Viking, but got so fed up with endless catalogues we asked them to take us off their mailing list. The last thing we bought from them was a replacement printer I think – delivered to the farm house door. A fat brochure was delived to the door separately the next day by courier. The paperwork was delivered to the door separately the day after that by the postman. And we’d partly done it to save driving to a shop!
This recycled paper came from a local high street retailer, though I’ve seen it in the big supper markets too. At least it’s getting easier to buy recycled products now.
I’ll add a comment on this post when the paper runs out. Sweepstake anyone?

Average gas prices in Arizona fell by 9 cents per gallon during the past week, putting them within 5 cents of the average cost from a year ago.
The statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas has dropped to $3.21, while the nationwide average slid 8 cents in the past week to $3.30 a gallon.
“Arizona’s average has fallen well below the nation’s and is within a nickel of the statewide average a year ago,” said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. “With continued lackluster demand, supplies have become plentiful and we anticipate seeing prices continue their downward trend.”
Tucson drivers are paying just a hair under $3 a gallon. The average for the southern Arizona city sits at $2.99 a gallon. Flagstaff residents, on the other hand, continue to pay the highest average cost to fuel up. Those in Lumberjack country are shelling out $3.51 a gallon on average this week.
In the Phoenix area, Peoria motorists enjoy the lowest average fuel cost, filling up for $3.16 a gallon, while Scottsdale drivers pay the most at $3.31 a gallon.
The average cost for a gallon of gas in Phoenix proper is $3.17.
Missouri and New York hold the lowest and highest average prices for the lower 48 states at $3.01 and $3.78 per gallon, respectively.

By Kate BurdenA sweet and tangy pickled beetroot is perfect for salad dressings, as well as a quick appetizer or side dish.
It’s also a perfect source of protein and vitamins.
So, if you’re looking for a pickled vegetable that will add crunch and flavour to your salad, this recipe is for you.
The pickled vegetables in this recipe are pickled turnips, and they’re available at a wide range of supermarkets and farmers markets.
You can also make your own pickled veg at home, but I prefer to buy the whole batch.
I find that a lot of pickled carrots are not picked, so I like to take them out of the fridge to pickle them.
I also add the whole beetroot to the pickled veggies to make them a little bit more flavourful.
This recipe makes two servings of pickles – one large and one small – but it’s great to serve with another meal.
The carrots add a nice crunchy flavour to the dressing, and the flavour of the beetroot really shines through when it’s served with it.
The pickled onions, on the other hand, add a lot more flavour.
The dressing is made with tomato, pickled garlic, celery, beetroot and onion, so you can have a different flavour to any salad you’re serving.
You can also serve this dressing as a dressing on its own, or add it to pasta, rice or soups.
I love that you can pick up a whole batch of these vegetables at the supermarket for about £3.75.
It’s also delicious to make in advance and reheat in the fridge.
The recipe yields two servings, but you can make a batch of this for yourself and make a second batch for a later meal.
It’ll be a great side dish for lunch or dinner!
You can make your pickles ahead of time and reheating them in the microwave for an hour or two before serving.
It also works well in a pot of soup.
I used to make pickled tomatoes and onions in this salad, but they have been out of stock for a while and I’ve found that making them in a microwave can help to get them back on the market.

Proper nutrition and optimal weight status in pregnancy are important for both the mother and her child. The present study was aimed at assessment of maternal food and nutrient intake, dietary supplement use, dietary patterns, and weight during pregnancy. Additionally, associations between maternal weight, socio-demographic and perinatal factors and advanced beta cell autoimmunity in the offspring were examined.
The results from a one-year cohort of mothers entering the ongoing Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) study in 1998–99 (n = 797) suggested that healthy food choices were positively correlated with maternal age and education. Dietary supplements were used by 85% of the women. However, the intake of vitamin D did not meet the recommendation and folic acid intake was inadequate in 44% of the pregnant women when both food and supplementation intakes were taken into account.
Seven dietary patterns were identified in 3730 pregnant women who entered the DIPP study between 1997 and 2002. The ‘healthy’, the ‘low-fat foods’ and the ‘alcohol and butter’ dietary patterns were positively associated with maternal age and education. The ‘fast food’ dietary pattern was positively associated and the ‘alcohol and butter’ pattern was inversely associated with the rate of maternal weight gain during pregnancy.
Altogether, 4093 children and their mothers comprised the study population in which the relationships between maternal initial body mass index, weight gain rate, and the development of beta cell autoimmunity in the offspring were examined. Maternal weight status during pregnancy was not related to the risk of advanced beta cell autoimmunity. A higher level of maternal education was significantly associated with a decreased risk of advanced beta cell autoimmunity in children.
More attention should be paid to nutritional guidance among Finnish pregnant women, especially as regards young and less well educated women. Dietary patterns may be useful for risk group identification and they may offer a framework for further research concerning diet and health outcomes among mothers and their children.

Lab: studying DHCP technology
- Using a crossover patch cord, connect a computer to one of Ethernet-ports of Cisco 1605 router or another available.
- In global configuration mode create a new pool for DHCP using a command ip dhcp pool name, where name is a name of the pool being created.
- In configuration mode of the newly created DHCP pool define using a command network 192.168.1.0 /24 the addresses, which will be assigned to clients.
- Configure the addresses of DNS servers distributed through DHCP. For this use a command dns server 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3.
- Similarly to the previous point, configure the addresses of WINS servers with a command netbios-name-server 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.5.
- Set default gateway IP-address for clients applying default-router 192.168.1.1.
- Set the address lease time for client, for which execute a command lease 0 0 15.
- Exit the mode of DHCP pool configuration with a command exit.
- Configure the network interface card of the computer for automatic IP settings allocation.
- Release the previously obtained address using ipconfig /release.
- Allocate new settings with ipconfig /renew.
- Make sure that you have obtained IP configurations.
- Look at the table of assigned IP-addresses at the router using a command of privileged mode show ip dhcp binding.
- Exclude the addresses 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 from the pool of assignable IP-addresses, for which use a global configuration mode command ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3. If any other address was assigned for the computer, exclude it from the pool.
- Release the previously used address from the lab computer and request it once again.
- Make sure that now another address has been assigned for the network interface card of the computer.
- Configure a static binding of the MAC-address of the computer to the assigned by DHCP server IP-address. For that, create a new DHCP pool, inside this pool give a command host address mask, where address and mask are IP-address and network mask of the host being configured. Execute a command client-identifier 01aa.bbcc.ddee.ff, where aabbccddeeff – MAC-address of the lab computer, and 01 indicates the type of medium Ethernet. Give a name to the client being configured using a command client-name test.
- Release the current address at the computer and allocate it again. Make sure, that the obtained address is exactly the one, which has just been manually configured.

BOULDER, Colo., March 24 (UPI) -- A University of Colorado review panel said Thursday that the First Amendment protected a controversial essay by Prof. Ward Churchill.
Chancellor Phil DiStefano said the three-person panel referred other allegations of plagiarism, misuse of others' work, and fabrication to a standing faculty committee for further review.
Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies, came to national attention earlier this year when an essay surfaced in which he compared some victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center to Nazi underlings.
Among the allegations referred to the committee was one that Churchill misrepresented that he is an American Indian.
In an interview with KUSA-TV in Denver, Churchill said the findings show there was no basis for an investigation in the first place. He said allegations that have been made since are politically motivated and will be "easily disproven."

Game of Thrones…
I don’t know whether there’s a place on the whole earth where someone would look at those three words and not know anything about the complex and in-depth world of George RR Martin’s imagination. They don’t know the ice blonde hair of Daenerys Targaryen. The smart and witty comebacks of the imp, Tyrion Lannister. The sick-minded perspective of his sister Cersei, or the boundary-breaking strength of Brienne of Tarth.
The casting director of Game of Thrones, Robert Sterne, depicts the characters in such a way that embodies their personalities as well as their looks. So the handsome ruggedness of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is a perfect frame to capture his conflicted character’s personality and the awkward relations between all of the Stark children. Costume design allows readers of the book to put their imaginations at ease as the intricate designs of Daenerys’ gowns and the specific placement of ragged linens of even the cameos exceed expectations. In the earlier seasons there was an understandably poor quality of special effects, due to the constraints of kick-starting a new TV show, but they have improved dramatically over the later seasons.
Whenever I explain a scene or pivotal event that occurs in the series in an attempt to advertise it to friends, I find that words don’t do the show justice, and in all honesty make people weary of watching the series. For example in order to explain the character of Cersei Lannister I have to outline her incestuous habits and her strange attachment to her eldest son Joffrey. Joffrey… when I come to explain his brutal character I have to include his sadistic tendencies and the nature of his birth. Every single character has a dark side in which all of them shouldn’t have the capacity to overlook. However we, as the audience, overlook as these attributes as we understand it is part of who the characters are and the time in which these events occurred. Furthermore as an onlooker outside of my advertising conversation for Game of Thrones, I imagine I must seem to be a horrific person, as when I explain Season Five all I have to say about it is: “everyone you love is going to die”. Couldn’t imagine sounding like a sane human being. Still, be wary of Season Four, but especially Five: many tears will be shed for the ones lost.

Solar energy: How to start a revolution on the roofs: We all know about the climate crisis. All over the world – whether in Brussels, Beijing or Washington DC – politicians, business leaders and scientists are working to reduce carbon emissions. There is good news too. Solar and wind energy have matured and become affordable over the past two decades. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar power in particular will lead a surge in renewable energy in the 2020s.
The future of solar energy looks bright.
But progress is slow. Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, and growing energy demand is too often met by fossil fuels. According to the consulting firm EUPD, almost 90% of all suitable roofs are still not equipped with solar panel generator. This figure refers to private houses with one or two families. In apartment buildings with many tenants, the proportion of roofs without a solar system is even lower.
The sluggish progress is not due to a lack of information or low levels of public support. Nine out of ten households support the installation of solar panels on roofs, making solar panels the most popular energy source. But if so many people are willing to do their part to tackle the climate crisis, why are so few acting on it?
Acceptance of solar energy requires a change in behavior.
The theory of the diffusion of innovations provides an answer: changing behavior often requires strength and discipline as well as time and money. A classic social science dilemma is the “trivial contribution problem”: the contribution of an individual to a problem such as the climate crisis is so small that it appears negligible and the individual therefore sees no reason to act.
Social scientist Harald Welzer says that’s why people need a “primary benefit” in order to act – the change has to be easy, convenient, better than before and ideally save time and money. Only when there is such a primary benefit do most people change their behavior.
While the motivation to protect the climate may sound compelling, it does not lead to a change in behavior, according to Welzer, since for many environmental protection is only seen as a “secondary benefit” and not as a primary benefit.
New players are making solar energy easy and affordable.
For a long time, solar energy was considered complicated and expensive, which led to a large untapped potential in the installation. A homeowner interested in installing a solar panel system ( either small solar panels or high power) had to deal with issues like taking out a loan or forgoing savings, finding a trustworthy installer, dealing with insurance and maintenance, etc. All too often this meant stress and significant expense, so why bother?
More recently, however, start-ups have recognized these challenges and developed new business models that make it easy for homeowners to join the solar movement and become “prosumers” – people who produce and consume their own green electricity.
Solar leasing systems on the rise.
Solar leasing is also on the rise in Europe. According to the consulting firm Deloitte, the Berlin start-up Enpal is the fastest growing tech company in Germany and the first “green tech unicorn”. Many other companies have now started copying this business model.
Enpal’s idea is simple but effective: by offering solar power for rent via a subscription model, homeowners save on high investment costs and do not have to worry about battery monitor, insurance or maintenance of the system.
With no upfront costs and low fixed lease rates, consumers benefit from clean energy generated at home, both for self-consumption and for selling surplus electricity to the grid. That makes solar power easy, affordable and accessible – and unlocks the dormant potential of clean energy in the home, sparking a solar movement.
Revolution on the roof through solar energy.
With the shift to electric vehicles, the demand for green energy is huge. With energy prices soaring, consumers are looking to move away from traditional utilities and fossil fuels, save money on their electricity bills, and do their part to address the climate crisis at the same time.
Politicians have helped photovoltaics achieve a breakthrough. Political support measures and mature technologies have lowered the cost of solar energy. Today solar power is cheaper than new coal or gas power plants in most countries. Solar energy will become the new king of the global electricity markets.
What is the World Economic Forum doing for the clean energy transition?
The clean energy transition is key to combating climate change, but over the past five years the energy transition has stalled.
Energy use and production contribute to two-thirds of global emissions, and 81% of the global energy system is still based on fossil fuels – the same percentage as 30 years ago. Also, the improvement in the world economy’s energy intensity (the amount of energy consumed per unit of economic activity) is slowing. In 2018, energy intensity increased by 1.2%, the slowest rate since 2010.
Achieving a more inclusive, sustainable, affordable and secure global energy system will require effective policy action, private sector action and public-private collaboration.
Benchmarking progress is essential to a successful transition. The World Economic Forum’s Energy Transition Index, which ranks 115 economies on how well they balance energy security and access with environmental sustainability and affordability, shows that the biggest challenge in the energy transition is the unwillingness of the world’s largest emitters, including the US, India and Russia. The top 10 countries on preparedness account for just 2.6% of global annual emissions.
To future-proof the global energy system, the Forum’s Shaping the Future of Energy and Materials platform works on initiatives such as Systemic Efficiency, Innovation and Clean Energy and the Global solar lithium phosphate battery Alliance to encourage and enable innovative energy investments, technologies and solutions .
Additionally, the Mission Possible Platform (MPP) is working to bring together public and private partners to power the industrial transition and put heavy industry and the mobility sector on the path to net-zero emissions. The MPP is an initiative created by the World Economic Forum and the Energy Transitions Commission.
The “new king” of solar energy will not be in the hands of a few, but in the hands of many, thanks to a bottom-up movement in which everyone with a roof has a stake in tomorrow’s energy supply. The time has come for citizens to take their energy into their own hands. With regulators pushing for more renewable energy and startups making it easier to generate clean energy at home, it’s time for a rooftop revolution.

1 lb ground pork
3 sprigs’ worth fresh thyme leaves
5 leaves sage, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup small cubed apple (I used Pink Lady)
1/4 cup crumbled Stilton
freshly ground black pepper
1 box (17.3 oz) puff pastry (defrosted)
1 egg yolk, beaten
sesame seeds, optional
Preheat oven to 350. Line one large or two smaller baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the pork together with the herbs, spices, cheese, and apple until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Roll the meat into 4 long sausages about 1 1/2 inch around and about a foot long.
Place each puff pastry sheet, unfolded on a large flat surface. Slice in half, length-wise.
Place a sausage in the middle of each of the four sheets. Fold the sheet over the sausage and press close with the tines of a fork. Repeat for remaining pastry/sausage. Slice each into thirds.
Place on the prepared baking sheet leaving an inch or so between each roll. Brush with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool on a wire rack, serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.


German chemical-plant workers passport
Thought of sharing this interesting passport:
Possibly among the last to be issued in the Soviet Union to a German national, November 1932, Moscow.
Fritz Rusting was possibly a technical worker at a secret chemical plant in the Samara region.He was living in Chapaevsk, and in German: Tschapajewsk.
In this town, from the end of the 19th century onwards, existed the Ushkov chlorine-plant. It was taken over in 1923 by the German poisen gas specialist and entrepreneur Hugo Stoltzenberg from Hamburg in order to produce the war gas "Lost" for the German and the Soviet Army. After the failure of Stoltzenbergs engagement 1926 the plant was continued under Russian direction, while the German side beard the costs till the factory was able to produce in 1929. German funding, know-how and workers continued working at the facility. The factory delivered Lost and Diphosgen to the secret German (Reichswehr) test-area for chemical warefare at Shichany, nearby Volsk (about 100 miles southwest of Chapaevsk) and became one of the most important facilities for the Soviet chemical warfare production.
He returned back to German few weeks before Hitler came to power and later on that year all cooperation between the two countries ceased.

The project is located 35 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Regina’s city council voted in favour of the agreement at its meeting on 31 October 2017. Both parties are now currently finalising the agreement.
In November 2012, the city and Western Potash Corp. entered into an agreement enabling the city to provide the company with access to recycled wastewater for a 2.8 million tpy conventional potash solution mine. In response to the potash market, the company adjusted the development plan and rescoped the project to utilise the innovative ‘horizontal drilling + selective solution mining’ techniques that will provide a significantly reduced UNIT CAPEX and competitive OPEX. In order to secure the most favourable data, Western will use this technology to develop a Phase 1 project with a capacity of 146 000 tpy. Once the technique has been tested, Western Potash Corp. will develop the previous 2.8 million capacity project in two phases, each at a 1.4 million tpy potash production. The Phase 1 project will utilise groundwater from the mine site, whilst Phase 2 and 3 projects will utilise treated water from the city. The selective solution mining technology uses significantly less water compared to conventional solution mining techniques, and the renegotiated agreement therefore decreases the volume of water correspondingly.
Over the space of six months, negotiating teams have developed a mutually beneficial agreement that extends the rights to access 25 000 m3/d of treated wastewater until 2025, as well as an additional 40 years access once the wastewater is drawn.
Under the terms of the new agreement, Western has agreed to pay a commitment fee of $200 000 when the final agreement is signed, and an annual standby fee of $100 000 for each year that water is not drawn. Once the company starts to draw water, 50% of the standby and commitment fees paid to the city will be refunded in the form of a credit against water usage charges.
This agreement presents the City with an economic opportunity for revenue during the 40-year life of the agreement and standby fees if the project does not proceed by 2025. In addition to this, the re-use of wastewater is beneficial in both the reduction of fresh water, and in the elimination of wastewater from local rivers and creeks. It will also mean that the Milestone Potash Mine will essentially not use any fresh water (with the exception of minor potable and process requirements). It is worth mentioning that this new technology – in addition to the reduction of water consumption – is also environmentally friendly, with no more salt tailings above ground, energy usage significantly reduced and minor subsidence.
The Chairman of Western Potash, Bill Xue, said: “We are very pleased with the terms of the new agreement with the city of Regina and appreciate all the hard work that went into the negotiations. This agreement benefits all parties involved and has substantial environmental benefits. We are continuing with the development of the Milestone Phase I project through the innovative technology and will actively advance the 2.8 million t full scale project. We look forward to a long-term relationship with the City.”

Apple has launched the tenth-anniversary edition of iPhone — iPhone X. At a starting price of Rs 89,000 ($999), iPhone X is the company’s most expensive iPhone launched so far. Apple CEO Tim Cook called iPhone X “the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone.”
- Apple iPhone X is the only one of the three new iPhones launched (other being iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) to have an 5.8-inch OLED display. It features Apple’s highest resolution phone display: 2436 x 1125 pixels at 458 pixels per inch density (ppi). The company has termed this Super Retina display. The HDR display also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10.
- Apple iPhone X comes with an all-glass front and back. It features what Apple claims is “the most durable glass ever in a smartphone in silver or space gray, while a highly polished, surgical-grade stainless steel band seamlessly wraps around and reinforces iPhone X. A seven-layer color process allows for precise color hues and opacity on the glass finish, and a reflective optical layer enhances the rich colors, making the design as elegant as it is durable, while maintaining water and dust resistance.”
- Courtesy edge-to-edge display, there’s no Home button on iPhone X. Users now just need to tap on the smartphone to ‘wake it up’. It has also got a new gesture language, swiping up will launch the multi-tasking screen. To switch to another app, users just need to pause mid-swipe. Holding the larger side button will launch Siri.
- There’s no fingerprint sensor in iPhone X. The TouchID has been replaced by FaceID. iPhone X uses facial recognition to unlock. Users can set up FaceID by letting their iPhone X make a detailed digital “map” of their face. Apple claims that FaceID is much easier and safer. According to the company, there’s a one in a million chance of someone being able to ‘hack’ your phone. FaceID is said to be powered by ‘neural engine’ powered by the company’s A11 Bionic processor.

Window for Floating Image
I'm on a Christmas card kick right now, and this card is inspired by the Papertrey Challenge to create an image floating over a window.
Closeup of window:
The tree and sentiment are from the Papertrey Ink Winterberry set. Behind my window are some falling snowflakes made with the Papertrey Ink Winter Penguin set.
I really love this idea and will probably try a few a more variations on it. I don't have a lot of punches to make the window, nor do I have a die-cutter! But I do have a small 1-inch hole punch, and I was thinking I'd try a card with a few small windows instead of one large window. So we'll see how that works out!

This is a difficult film to categorise. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but it does mean that the film has attracted some very positive reviews but also some dismissals. It’s a film which requires a viewer to have some idea about the context of filmmaking in China over the last twenty or thirty years. Writer-director Wei Shejun saw his début short film selected for Cannes competition in 2018, winning a ‘Special Distinction’ Award and both that film and this his début feature have featured at festivals around the world. Striding into the Wind is inspired by his own experiences as a film student. He has also clearly learned how to use festival interviews. A Variety interview and his LFF interview see him name-checking various influences and at one point arguing that currently China has no ‘global directors’. He knows how to play the game and there are sections in this film that demonstrates he can make interesting cinema as well. What it all adds up to is something that needs working through.
At the start of the film I thought that I was in for a ‘slacker comedy’ which isn’t really my kind of thing. Zhou Kun with a kind of mullet-cum-ponytail is a student at a film school repeating a year, which means he has plenty of time to spare to help his classmate Tong Shao-jie learn how to become an audio technician. Kun has a job as sound man on a student (or alumni?) film and Tong tags along trying to learn. Kun has enough industry knowledge to be able to correct his tutor who doesn’t seem to have worked since he left the Film Academy. The digs about the Fifth Generation directors being out of touch now and the Sixth Generation making the same kinds of films all the time (comments by Wei in the Q&A) are seemingly drawn from the director’s own experience in film school. Kun and Tong go on to try to develop various other scams to make money and as well as the possible Hollywood genre connections, I thought that at this point that I might have seen similar films from the new Indian Independent Cinema or perhaps from South Korea. After a while though, the buddy movie at the centre of the narrative begins to be displaced by a genuine romance with the appearance of A Zhi as Kun’s girlfriend. She is much more sussed than the two students and is making money as a model/cheerleader/’eye candy’ for promotional events. It’s a waste of her degree in Chinese Literature but she has a plan. She also seems to have a genuine personality and possibly to care for Kun – but will he have the sense to see this? To be fair to Kun, Zhi is prepared to conform and he isn’t. I have to agree with the BFI interviewer (whose name I didn’t catch, there were access problems in trying to view the Q&A a second time) when she suggested that A Zhi (Zheng Yin Chen) has a real presence which makes the romance narrative possible. But will Kun have the nouse to make it work?
The two young men and one woman trio and one or two other elements in the plot made me think of the early Jia Zhangke film Unknown Pleasures (2002). Jia is, I would argue, the leading Chinese auteur in the global art film market. His wasn’t a name that Wei Shejun checked (Hou Hsiao-hsien was mentioned twice). The Jia references increased for me in the closing section of Striding Into the Wind when Kun and Tong Shao-jie travel to Inner Mongolia to complete the shoot of the film they have been working on since the director wants some ‘authentic ‘ atmosphere for his film. This means a shift to the road movie and a series of reflections on the romance of the region (the wind in the grass, the horses etc.) and also the artificiality of ‘tourist’ versions of Mongolian culture. This trip is tied in to Kun’s relationship with the venerable Jeep Cherokee that he buys cheap at the beginning of the film. Kun has always dreamed about visiting Inner Mongolia so the car is central to how he will understand (or not) his own fantasies and sort out what he wants to do with his life.
China has grown so fast as an economy in the last twenty years and it has been difficult for societal changes to keep pace. It’s hardly surprising that young men born in the late 1990s have issues if they try to do anything else other than knuckle down and conform. Kun has problems with his mother a teacher, his father a police officer and A Zhi’s dad, an accountant as well as his tutor. Tong Shao-jie seems almost completely detached from family in the performance by Tong Lin Kai who was discovered as a non-professional by the director and certainly has a presence in the film. I’d like to show this film in tandem with a film like Beijing Bicycle (dir. Wang Xiaoshuai, China-Taiwan-France 2001) which less than twenty years ago shows a similar trio of young(er) people in Beijing trying to cope with a very different city.
Striding Into the Wind is a hybrid comedy/romance/road trip with an element of family melodrama. The narrative is probably too loose and could be tightened, but the players are engaging and there does seem to be a kind of commentary both on contemporary China and on filmmaking. I look forward to seeing what Wei Shejun does next. The film is produced by the Chinese internet giant Alibaba and is showing in North America on festival screens. Unfortunately the promotion doesn’t seem to be using many images or videos so apologies for the lack of illustrative material here.

text: In this paper, a reconfigurable beam-switching antenna is designed and fabricated. The geometry of this antenna is designed as a hexagonal cylinder and composed of two major parts. One is the dipole antenna at the center of the structure as an excitation source and the other part is the active selective surfaces (FSS). A bowtie pattern is used as the unit cell of FSS, and its characteristic is carefully optimized. In this study, when the diode is turned on, the FSS becomes transparent, and when the diode is turned off, the FSS is opaque, which is unlike conventional operation. The default operation is to set 3 sidewalls transparent and 3 sidewalls opaque. The opaque sidewalls act as a reflector. The measured results show that radiation pattern can be swept in six steps along the entire azimuth plane with moderate gain of 5dBi and 80° beam-width at 2.5GHz. With these features, this simple and low cost beam-switching antenna is suitable for wireless communication system and the application of low power base station system.

Christine is awesome! I always feel accomplished after her training. I am not one to EVER workout but recently started traveling for work which left me no choice. She has taught me the correct way to exercise, and after a short three weeks, I already feel better – more energy, sleeping better, and more strength. Not only does she provide an excellent training session during our face-to-face workouts, but also sends detailed customized routines (e.g., in-hotel room workouts). Due to my ignorance, I always felt the proper way to workout was to do mostly cardio, but she immediately implemented weight training and while it burns the next day, I can feel the difference! I’m now hooked.
Elizabeth R. Cambridge, MA
Before I met Christine and started working out with her, I suffered from moderate to severe sciatica. I experienced a constant 6 – 8 out of 10 pain dawn till dusk. It was difficult to sleep through a night and at its worst my left foot would go completely numb. I had spent roughly 5 years with an understanding that “I need to strengthen my core,” but I had no idea how to do that, why it needed to be done or what to expect in the short term.
In January of 2012 I was fed up with living in pain so I went to a Clinic specializing in pain located in Waltham. They performed an MRI and confirmed sciatica as the cause of the pain, specifically an L2-L3 disc bulging and putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. A physical assessment showed that my abs were weaker than my lower back resulting in too much curve in my lumbar and thus the bulging disc. They gave me a prescription for 800mg of IBuprofen, a cortisone shot in the lumbar spine and physical therapy. All well and good until the effects of the cortisone wore off, the IBuprofen caused a minor stomach ulcer and the physical therapist turned out to be strengthening my BACK!
I stopped going as the cost was high, the payoff was low and I felt I needed something else. Next I tried a chiropractor. I had full torso and neck X-rays done, and another physical assessment. This professional told me my neck was out of alignment which was causing my shoulders to compensate and in turn my hips resulting in one leg shorter than the other and his conclusion for my pain. Fast forward 6 months and I still had back pain with little or no improvement in my posture.
Sound like a familiar run around? My guess is that those suffering from sciatica have a similar story.
I started working out with Christine January of 2013. I told her my history as above and asked her to help me get pain free. She focused in on the problem immediately and started me out with lower weight, high repetitions and the special ingredient, Destabilization! I had never lifted weights and only used machines occasionally. I was always more of a cardio kind of guy and associated lifting with bulky muscles and protein shakes. I had always thought the advice of “strengthen your core” meant I needed to do situps. In a matter of 2 months I had reduced pain. Here I am now, 8 months later and I am completely pain free! It doesn’t suck that I can lift 3 times what I could when I stated either.
Another indication that Christine really knows her stuff is her ability to adjust a workout on the fly. Before each workout I tell her what is bothering me such as my shoulder from volleyball, kink in my neck from a bad sleep position or just a headache from dehydration. She is able to adjust my routine so that I still get my full body exercise while avoiding the injury.
All of the extra benefits of being fit aside, being able to go through a day without back pain is priceless. Having gone through all the various analyses and treatment plans I can conclusively attribute my recovery to Christine. For that I am truly grateful.
I’ve always been one of those guys that goes to the gym and works out on his own. I figured I knew all the basic movements/exercise for each machine or free weight in the gym, so why bother working with a trainer.
Well, that was until I started training with Christine. Christine donated 8 training sessions to our mutual friend’s fundraising event for Dana Farber Cancer Institute. And lucky enough for me, I was the person who ended up winning that silent auction item.
I started training with her a few weeks later and I was impressed right off the bat. I ended up training with her for 3 months and I saw some serious results.
Christine listened to me and asked me all the right questions to figure out what my problem areas were and what my ultimate goals were. One of the things I really appreciated was that Christine cared to ask how each one of my problem areas (elbow, toe, lower back) were feeling before each session and she catered the workout around my needs to result in minimal pain and maximum results.
I am happy to say that for the first time in two years, I am no longer feeling the pain in my elbow, or my lower back and the muscles surrounding them have significantly strengthened.
Christine was/is awesome! She knows her stuff and will really help you accomplish your goals! Some of the mistakes I was making while working out were never noticeable to me until Christine pointed them out. And once she did and I made some minor adjustments, that’s when I started to see some real results! I would highly recommend training with Christine to anybody looking to finally take control of your body!
Gerard Jiro Barsoum
I can’t rave enough about Christine — she has been fabulous for our 14 year old daughter and our family. She fell into our lives last summer, like manna from heaven. Now she feels like part of the family. A keeper for sure.
Our youngest daughter was diagnosed two years ago with an autoimmune disease that prevented her from doing any team sports or much physical exercise at all. She had to take a lot of steroids and spend too much time in the hospital. That she didn’t look sick in any real way sometimes made it harder for her to explain to middle school friends (not the most forgiving group) why she was sitting it out on the sidelines during gym. The inactivity plus the steroids plus the carbs that provided some comfort all combined to cause weight gain and a real loss of stamina. Hard at any age but perhaps especially at 13. When our daughter thankfully went into remission and could again exercise vigorously, we knew it was time to act.
Enter Christine – a bundle of fun, enthusiasm, and can do energy. Our daughter was reluctant to work with a trainer, perhaps understandably a bit fearful to get going again. But within the first hour, Christine had her hooked — sweating and moving and hooked.
Three months later and there’s never a day, no matter how tired or “adolescent” she’s feeling that she’s not ready to work with Christine. They’ve worked out in the pouring rain, indoors on the stairs, they’ve cooked healthy meals together, and our daughter has gotten more toned and confident. Christine is a true mentor for our daughter, and we’ll do whatever it takes to keep her part of our family. If you’re smart, you will too!

Wait, What? Sidharth Malhotra And Kiara Advani Are The Newest Lovebirds In Bollywood?
Sidharth Malhotra’s love life has been under a lot of speculation! It’s been quite some time since he and Alia Bhatt parted ways after dating for a few years. They did their debut film Student Of The Year together, alongside Varun Dhawan. Ever since the breakup, Sidharth has been linked to several actresses including Jacqueline Fernandes, and more recently Tara Sutaria. However, the latest buzz around town is that the handsome actor might be dating Kabir Singh actress, Kiara Advani.
And this time too, it was Karan Johar who played cupid and introduced the two at one of his parties. While we wish we had a friend like KJo in our lives, who could be the perfect matchmaker. Because right now most of us simply have to keep swiping, and that too with no match even remotely close to Malhotra.
You’d hope that Sidharth would give an answer which is slightly less cliché but he basically gave an alternative of “we are just good friends.” According to a report by an entertainment, at the trailer launch of Jabariya Jodi, when Sidharth Malhotra was asked about his relationship with Kiara Advani, he said they are “lovely friends”. So buzz is that the duo have been hanging out a lot lately, especially at KJo’s office. Sidharth was also seen at Kiara’s birthday bash!
Sidharth Malhotra further added, that he currently happy with his jodi with Parineeti Chopra. We know that’s because they were at the trailer launch of their film Jabariya Jodi after all!
Meanwhile, Kiara too, has kept mum about this. But can there be smoke without fire? We’re going to stay invested in this and see how the potential love story between Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani progresses!
ALSO READ: Kiara Advani Reveals She’s Open To Dating A Co-Star, And We Think We Know Who It Might Be!
On the work front, Sidharth Malhotra is awaiting the release of his film Jabariya Jodi, alongside Parineeti Chopra. It is expected to hit the screens on 2nd August. The story is a sarcastic dig at forced marriages! He will also be seen with Kiara Advani in the movie Shershaah. Kiara will be seen in Karan Johar’s next which is tentatively titled Good News alongside Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh.
