I don't usually talk about new stuff on this blog but sometimes new things complement old things very well.
On a recent trip to Cambridge, I was pleased to find some vintage Colclough and Tuscan china cake plates hidden at the bottom of some shelves in a charity shop, dirty and unloved. As soon as I felt the edges of the plates I could tell that they were going to be special even before seeing the patterns.
The Colclough plate is from around 1945-1948 according to the backstamp and it has the most beautiful sheen to it. The delicate blue, pink and yellow roses look like they've just come out of the factory! I wonder where it has been hiding all these years.
I think I've only seen this pattern once before in a tea set that we sold a while back. That one had a lemon background whereas this one has a light blue one.
The other two plates I found are from Tuscan china's Peach Bloom range. Unlike the Colclough plates, they have no pattern but the milky peach hue and the delicately-fluted edges are enough in themselves.
Tuscan china was made until the late 1960s and I think these plates are probably from the late 1950s/early 1960s. I put together a selection of Tuscan patterns along with the history of the company in a previous blog post.
I photographed the plates on top of a baby blue wooden stool which is from Ikea's Brakig range. I had to pop to Ikea the other day and had spotted the stools in a post on the lovely Modflowers blog and just had to get one. I think it's based on a classic design by Arne Jacobsen. I love the simplicity of the combination of the slender form with classic block colours.
I was tempted to buy another colour as well but restrained myself! The napkins are also from Ikea – perfect for when you need some paper napkins for an impromptu tea party!
All I need to do now is to decide whether to make cake stands from the Colclough and Tuscan plates or whether to leave them as they are. What do you think?
Thanks for the mention Rach! I would leave the Colclough as it is – it would be a shame to make a hole in it right where that lovely little backstamp logo is!
I agree about the Colclough. It's one of those patterns that I don't come across often so it would be a shame to drill it!
Beautiful, my grandparents and Mum are from the Potteries and my Nana was a transferer, my friend Gill also used to make china roses for Crown Staffordshire.
Check out Gladstone Pottery Museum. I went to Wedgewood as a child and painted a plate and made a Wedgewood blue and white jasper plaque my Mum still has it on the wall.
Thanks, will do! I'm hoping to do a bit of a potteries pilgrimage later in the year.

KING KHAN TALKS ABOUT HUMANITY, FAME, LOVE IN HIS FIRST EVER TED TALK AND IT WILL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS
Thursday, the 27th April 2017 was an astounding day for all SRK fans and Indians, of course, as King Khan delivered his first ever TED Talk in Vancouver, Canada.
His witty one-liners and humorous sense of speech left everyone in bits. He sure knows, how to lure the audience and entertain them, not only by his acting skills but by his oration as well. He has been a guest speaker at a lot of prestigious events before, worldwide and proved what an excellent speaker he is!
The TED Conference 2017, just added one more feather in the hat for Shah Rukh Khan and all the Indians.
In the 17-minute talk, SRK reflected on his youth, growing up in New Delhi, losing both his parents by the time he was in his twenties, and then, moving to the "sprawling metropolis of Mumbai", to follow his dreams of becoming a movie star.
Shah Rukh then spoke about the impact the Internet has made on his life, specifically his decision in his late 40s to begin using Twitter. "Everything I said took a new meaning. Everything I did, good, bad, ugly, was there for the world to comment upon and judge."
He went to talk about the time when his then 15-year-old son Aryan's fake private video was leaked online and how his family dealt with it, the dozens of products he endorses, and the 'failure' of his superhero film Ra.One. He followed it up with a quick 'lungi dance'.
But then, he offered serious advice: "I have realised that whatever moves you, whatever urges you to create, to build, whatever keeps you from failing, whatever helps you survive, is perhaps the oldest, and simplest emotion known to mankind, and that is love," he said.
TED stands for technology, entertainment, and design. The TED conference organises talks with 'thinkers' which last 18 minutes or less, in which the guests share their ideas on their field of expertise.

My insecurity this month is entirely a vanity issue, but it does have far-reaching implications . . . and they are what, all too often, distract me from actually writing. It's all about names - real names, nicknames, and pen-names.
Under which name do I submit my manuscript?
To what name do I want to assign a legacy . . . be it good or bad?
Does the comfort of anonymity outweigh the pride of recognition?
Is it better to be freed from my inhibitions, or restrained within my better judgement?
Like I said, it's completely a vanity issue, but the implications and repercussions are forever. Part of me wants to publish under my real name and let friends, colleagues, family members do a double-take when they see the name on the shelves. I want them to wonder if it's really me, to buy it just in case it is, and then to reach out and let me know what they think. I want that recognition, that validation, and that acclaim.
On the other hand, part of me worries about what people might think. I wonder if they're going to read too much into the story or the characters and make assumptions about me. I don't want to have to face the awkward questions about why I wrote a character a certain way, why I adopted a certain theme . . . or just what the hell I was thinking when I wrote that!
For me, writing is an exercise in imagination, a complete and utter break from reality where I can tell whatever story I want, about whatever characters I want. I've written protagonists I would never want to meet in real life, and I've written villains that I take a guilty pleasure in admiring. I've written relationships that have completely shocked me, and I've written scenes that please me every time I reread them.
Yet, whenever I start thinking of the name issue, I find myself either becoming uncomfortably restrained, afraid to express what the story needs, or gleefully crossing all lines of good taste and propriety, simply because I can.
I know several writers who have struggled with the same issue. It always baffles me. I guess because I've gotten to the point in my life or a certain age where I don't really care what others think. The only opinion that matters is mine and my husband's. Surely my in-laws will read some steamy love scenes and judge me for it, but so what. People who know me will wonder why I made a particular character black or white and what does it really mean. Once again, so what. It has no bearing on who I am as a person, a writer, a wife or my happiness.
I do wonder if I fail under my real name, will I have to take a pen name? Now that worries me.
Until you hit the top of the NYT bestseller list and your book is made into a movie or TV show, most people in your life will only know you were even published is if you tell them. Unless they're like my brother-in-law who googles everyone in the family regularly :).
For me it's a philosophical and practical decision. I don't care enough about my real name to suffer for not using it as my author name. Also, my real name is so common that it would get lost in the sea of others with my name.
I have told everyone I know about my book and used strong arm tactics to get them to buy it. They didn't really have a choice in the matter.
I agree with LC, I would tell everyone I know when my book is published. So I might as well use my real name.
Just popping in from the IWSG.
Goodness, I don't think I ever thought of using a pen name. Interesting dilemma. I guess I'm with Isis, at my age, it doesn't matter so much what others think.
I've though about this, and in the end decided if I am going to put my heart and soul into something, I might as well stamp my name on it. Pen names seem like a hassle, anyway.
I guess it depends on what type of book you are writing. Of course, if you use a pen name, your family and friends will know anyway because you'll want to tell them!
I use a pen name for practicality. My real name is very common. One of the first things I did was search my name on Amazon, and there were lots of people published under my name already. Most everyone who knows me in real life knows that I'm also J.W. Alden though.
In whatever you decide, good luck!


Hi everyone, I have been away from here a long time and so much has happened. None of it very good I am afraid. Weight loss has slipped ever further down my list of priorities and I have spent far too much time just feeling sad.
My Dad died in January, he had been suffering with cancer fir several years and it suddenly galloped, leaving him paralysed from the waist down almost over night. He was admitted to hospital for assessment and 2 weeks later I sat at his bedside with my poor Mum as he slipped away. I remain devastated and lost. Supporting my 88 year old frail Mum is taking all I've got but at the same time i realise that I need to focus on me a bit.
So, this morning I sat and read my 'food & feelings diary' which I started on May 1st 2002. I accomplished a lot that year and as well as losing weight I became fitter, stronger and happier in my own skin.
So today, 8 years later,(and despite numerous half attempts) I'm giving it another go. I make no wild promises, I have no mad dreams. Softly, softly will do me, just as long as there is a tiny bit of progress i will be satisfied. I am a good 6 stone overweight but would be delighted to lose a stone by Christmas. More would be great, less would be ok. We'll see.
I know how much friends on here have helped in the past; Abi, Irene H, Summerskye, Isis, Mini, Clarri to name but a few, I hope you will help me again.
I have really missed you and so glad you are back.
I made the same mistake and moved further and further down the line so pleased you are going to focus on you.
Sorry to hear the sad news about your Dad.
Hi Starlight - lovely to see you too. I need to whip round everyone's diaries and find out what I've been missing.
Had a good first day yesterday - recorded every morsel and feel pleased with myself.
Hi Barb and welcome back honey, its good to see you.
Thanks Irene, good to see you too Cheryl. That's the wonderful thing about Minimins, it's always good to see old friends again!
So already on day 3 of the diary and I am amazed at what an excellent tool it is. Just knowing I have to write stuff down stops me eating as much. I really hope that it will be enough to get me back into some good habits and see a gradual weight loss.
Thanks Irene, it's lovely to know you are keeping an eye on me! It's strange 'getting back in the zone' but I know I can. Quite a good day yesterday, had some wine in the evening but wrote everything down. Going to focus on a good healthy day today.
A good day yesterday - it's the evenings I struggle with. Had some wine etc.. but I think at least i am cutting down on the naughty foods, increasing the healthy foods, so that's progress I think.

Alternative freight solutions for London
Some 120 million tonnes of freight are moved in London each year and that is expected to increase by 10 per cent by 2030, according to Peter Hendy, the newly appointed transport commissioner for London.
Ninety two per cent of freight moving to and from London is carried by road transport, yet many industry experts believe that it lies low on the city's list of priorities.
Speaking at the recent London Freight Summit 2006, Hendy outlined plans for delivering a reliable and sustainable future for freight in London. He said congestion charging has "consistently reduced vehicle speeds and numbers in London". But, he said: "We need to think more strategically about how we use road space." Hendy argued that a key alternative to the current system was the creation of legal loading and unloading spaces in the city centre, although he admitted that it would take a long time to implement.
Penalty Charge Notices have risen by 35 per cent in five years, according to statistics from the FTA. David Sheppard, deputy head of transport for the John Lewis Partnership, said: "The parking tickets issue is a whole new industry for us."

Tiger woods rushed to surgery after suffering 'moderate to critical' injuries in road crash
Tiger woods rushed to surgery after suffering 'moderate to critical' injuries in road crash
US Golf star Tiger Woods sustained serious injuries Tuesday in a vehicle rollover in Los Angeles County.
"Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries," his agent Mark Steinberg said. "He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support."
"He is suffering moderate to critical injuries," said spokesperson was quoted by CNN as saying.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Woods, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, had to be extricated from the vehicle with the "jaws of life."
According to picures seen by Kenya Satellite News Network, the vehicle sustained major damage, the sheriff's department said.
Pictures takjen by helicopters over the scene of Woods' accident showed a car on its side with the front end heavily damaged with air bags apparently deployed. The wreckage appeared to be just off the side of a road on a hillside.
Woods, whose first name is Eldrick, was the sole occupant of the vehicle, the sheriff's department said.
According to officials, the crash occurred shortly before 7:15 a.m. Tuesday.

Board of Variance
This page references a file that has been deleted. The invalid link will not be displayed.
In Rossland, the BOV consists of three members of the public selected in accordance with the Local Government Act. The Board of Variance cannot vary the permitted uses or densities under the Zoning Bylaw nor can it deal with major variations that should be the subject of a Development Variance Permit. Adjacent property owners and tenants in occupation will be notified about the application and any person who believes their interest in property is affected will be heard by the Board of Variance.
When do I need a Board of Variance Application?
Applications will be forwarded to the Board only if it appears from the application that:
it falls within the jurisdiction of the Board of Variance as defined in the Local Government Act;
the applicant is seeking relief from regulations that impose an undue hardship on them and there is no overriding public interest; and,
the variance applied for is minor in nature; or,
the applicant is appealing the extent of damage preventing reconstruction of a non-conforming building, as provided for under Section 902 of the Local Government Act.
Definition of a Minor Variance
The guidelines to be used in screening applications for minor variances shall include the following thresholds:
those cases of new construction where an existing building is involved, such as an addition of less than 20% of the size of an existing house, or construction of an ancillary building such as a garage, workshop, or garden shed where:
the new addition or ancillary building would be consistent with the existing side yards or set backs of the existing building;
the variances would be consistent with the existing character of the neighbourhood;
conformance to current zoning provisions such as side yard or setback requirements would be unreasonably onerous or frustrate the ability of the applicant to proceed; and,
there is no obvious impact on the adjoining properties.
those cases where minor problems beyond the control of the applicant occur, such as when early surveys on existing homes are found to have minor errors.
Variances not to be Considered Under the Definition of Hardship
"Hardship" is defined as those cases in which an individual suffers "undue hardship", which is to say, a hardship which is not generally in common with others.
Therefore, "undue hardship" will not be considered as a rationale for referring an application to the Board of Variance for new construction, major additions beyond 20% of the existing building area, or applications that, in the opinion of the City, do not appear to be minor, may have a significant impact on the adjoining properties and/or neighbourhood, or the public interest is otherwise involved. These applications will be directed by Staff to Council for consideration.

Calls, Texts May Help Patients With Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder Stick to Their Medications
Phone calls and texts may help adults with severe mental illness maintain their medication regimens, according to a study published Thursday in Psychiatric Services in Advance.
In a clinical trial of 120 patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, Lara N. Schulze of the University of Greifswald in Germany and colleagues randomly assigned participants to the intervention or control group. Both groups received care as usual, defined as basic medical care that included occasional visits to physicians. The intervention group also received regular telephone calls every other week for six months.
During the calls, trained nurses spoke with the patients about the patients' mood; events in the patients' lives since the previous call; personal aspects of the patients' lives such as jobs, family, and hobbies; and whether the patients had trouble taking their medications. The nurses also asked questions to detect whether patients had suicidal thoughts. Patients in the intervention group were also offered the option of receiving short, weekly text messages about topics discussed in their calls. Of the 42 patients that remained in the intervention group throughout the trial, 20 received phone calls only.
The researchers followed up with participants at three months and six months by telephone. Throughout the study 16 patients in each group dropped out, leaving 88 available for the six-month follow-up. Although the intervention did not appear to have an effect on medication adherence at three months, at six months patients in the intervention group were on average four times more likely to be medication adherent than those in the control group. The researchers found that the patients' diagnosis or medications did not affect the results.
"We showed that our telemedicine intervention for patients with severe mental illness could partly compensate for a critical gap in medical care. Personalized communication led to a promising improvement in medication adherence," the researchers wrote.

I know I know ! You think that making buns at home is hard and time-consuming. That can be true to some extent…not hard but time consuming, waiting for the dough to rise a couple of times..and the tough question for novice bread makers is …"have I kneaded these enough?' Or at least that was always my question!! Well, this recipe is a no knead recipe. It has to rise a couple times, 45 minutes the first time and then 30 minutes after that but pretty easy to put together while the rest of dinner is being prepared…or making them for lunches…or anytime..for anything! These are baked in muffin tins..adding to the ease of this recipe.I have made these dairy free..the original recipe calls for milk & butter…your choice. The original recipe comes from my friend Karen Marshall.
Here is the recipe ***I have written the recipe out with my changes and the original ingredients in brackets!
Add 2 cups of flour. Mix well. ***This bread dough will be very soft!! It is supposed to be to so don't add more flour!
Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. *** I have a bread proof function in my oven so I used that. If you don't have that, a friend of mine got a tip from her sister and it is a good one. Put your covered bowl with the bread dough into the microwave with 1 cup of boiling water in a measuring cup beside it and just let it sit in there..DO NOT TURN THE MICROWAVE ON!

Police: 5 fatally shot inside Florida bank, suspect arrested
SEBRING, Fla. (AP) — A gunman opened fire inside a Florida bank Wednesday afternoon, killing five people before surrendering to negotiators, police said.
Zephen Xaver, 21, was arrested after the shooting at a Sebring SunTrust Bank branch, Sebring police Chief Karl Hoglund said at a news conference.
"Today's been a tragic day in our community," Hogland said. "We've suffered significant loss at the hands of a senseless criminal doing a senseless crime."
The victims were not immediately identified.
A man called police dispatch Wednesday afternoon to report that he had fired shots inside the bank, Hoglund said. Initial negotiations to get the barricaded man to leave the bank were unsuccessful, so the Highlands County Sheriff's Office SWAT team entered the bank to continue negotiations, and the man eventually surrendered.
Police didn't say what charges Xaver would face or indicate a motive.
Gov. Ron DeSantis was in the region for an infrastructure tour and traveled to Sebring after news of the shooting broke. He said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement would assist Sebring police and the Highlands sheriff in any way possible.
"Obviously, this is an individual who needs to face very swift and exacting justice," DeSantis said of the gunman.
SunTrust Chairman and CEO Bill Rogers released a statement saying the bank is deeply saddened by the tragic shooting.
"We are working with officials and dedicating ourselves to fully addressing the needs of all the individuals and families involved," Rogers said. "Our entire team mourns this terrible loss."

The Story Behind This Runner's Centrowitz Tattoo Is Even Better Than You Think
Cameron Sorter had little hesitation to get inked with his favorite Olympian's likeness
By Ali Nolan
Cameron Sorter
This past November, a 20-year-old college student drove nine miles from his home in Portland, Oregon, to the storefront of "Hopeless Ink Tattoo & Piercing" in Vancouver, Washington.
The student, Cameron Sorter, entered the parlor with a photo in hand. Inside, it was sterile and quiet. The walls were painted a deep slate. The blinds drawn shut.
Sorter shed his shirt. He pointed to a patch of blank skin on his left shoulder blade. The artist studied the picture—a black and white rendering of Matthew Centrowitz, the 1500-meter specialist who had just won gold at the Rio Olympics.
The idea for the ink started five months before, after the U.S. Track and Field Trials in July, when Sorter saw his running idol cruise through the 1500 and secure his space at the Olympics. He tweeted at Centrowitz with 13 words he figured would go out into the Twitt-o-sphere and last, as they do, mere minutes or seconds.
@MattCentrowitz if you medal in rio I'll get a tattoo of your face
— cambot (@camsorter) July 23, 2016
But Centrowitz responded. "Bet" was all he wrote.
Bet. https://t.co/U9PgRz3nhO
— Matthew Centrowitz (@MattCentrowitz) July 23, 2016
A month went by. As Centrowitz flew down to Brazil for the games, Sorter traveled from his Seaside, Oregon, home to a new school to finish his last two years of undergrad at York College in York, Nebraska. For him, cross-country season was about to begin.
The two athletes, at face value, share only one commonality—and that is their love of middle distances. Centrowitz has a tattoo on his back that reads "CITIUS," Latin for "faster," and another on his chest, "Like Father Like Son." The latter refers to his dad's track career. He too ran the 1500 and made it to the Olympics.
RELATED: 42 Awesome Running Inpired Tattoos
Sorter, on the other hand, had never been inked. He fits in perfectly with the perception that those who run middle distances are quiet, thoughtful, quirky, and determined. He came to running later than many college athletes, giving track a whirl only after watching the movie Juno, in which Michael Cera plays Paulie Bleeker, a shy teenager who wears canary track shorts and who impregnates the movie's protagonist.
"I don't know, I guess I just liked Michael Cera," Sorter told Runner's World.
In his senior year, Sorter was offered an opportunity to run at Treasure Valley Community College near his home in Oregon. Once there, he started getting looks from four-year schools.
His current coach, Justin Carver, says a YouTube video Sorter sent him made him a top recruit. In it, he gets tripped up in the inside lane and tumbles to the outside of the track. The other runners make it 100—maybe even 200—meters ahead of him. But instead of quitting, the kid hops back on his spikes and takes off, sprinting to get himself back in the race.
So Carver wooed him to York, a landscape that Sorter is still unfamiliar with, where the cornfields are like oceans. There's little to do besides run and talk running. It agrees with him.
During the summer Olympics, Carver invited his runners to his home to watch the track events. Sorter sat on his coach's couch with his teammates beside him to take in the men's 1500 meters.
No one thought Centrowitz had a chance to take gold. In 2012, he had come up short by placing fourth at the London games, and no American had placed first in the 1500 since 1908—more than 100 years ago.
"I knew it was a stretch, but I really wanted him to win," Sorter said. When Centrowitz crossed the line in 3:50.00, everyone was shocked. Sorter just smiled. "I knew he could do it."
And then, two days after his big win, Centrowitz was back on Twitter:
樂樂樂 oh hello Cam https://t.co/U9PgRyLMqg
— Matthew Centrowitz (@MattCentrowitz) August 22, 2016
Behind the scenes, in a private message, the softer side of Centrowitz assured Sorter that he didn't really have to get a picture of his face permanently etched onto his skin. But Sorter knew he always wanted to some type of symbolic running tattoo.
"When I started back in high school, I didn't think I would be able to afford college, but cross country and track made it possible for me to get my associate's, and now I'm here competing at a four-year school," he said. "Running is my passion. It's my sanctuary. I owe, like, everything to it. Well, besides like God, but let's not go there right now."
Together, the pro runner and college athlete picked four potential photos and posted them in a Twitter poll for the masses to choose. Fans picked the picture of Centrowitz holding the flag up over his shoulders, his mouth upturned in a toothy grin.
Top 4 choices: pic.twitter.com/c455BgDaIo
Which pic should @camsorter get a tattoo of?!
Sorter decided to get it done when he went home to Oregon for winter break. His father reportedly loves tattoos. His mother was less on board until her son showed her a picture of Centrowitz. ("She said, 'Oh he's pretty cute.' And then she was cool with it.") At the shop, Sorter went under the needle for four hours, getting the whole portrait done in one shot.
The next day, Centrowitz, who lives in Portland, met Sorter at the waterfront for a run. "The first thing he did was take a picture with it," says Sorter. "I think he was pretty stoked."
So this actually happened!!!  pic.twitter.com/KCaOaP8Oo7

Right now, York College is in the midst of indoor track season. At meets, rivals and teammates sometimes joke around about the face peeking out from Sorter's kit.
Among NAIA teams, York is ranked 21st in the nation, one of its best showings in history—and not bad for a roster of only nineteen.
Sorter placed first in his first two meets and ran an indoor 800 PR in his third match. Coach Carver won't commit to any cosmic musings yet. But Sorter knows this season is different and is certain the tattoo is working for him in a way he can't quite explain.
"We're this little team in the middle of nowhere and we're just showing up, "he said. "I do believe in that weird stuff like serendipity. I do believe the tattoo is playing a role."

China's neglect erodes relics Antiquities: The Great Wall and Forbidden City, symbols of China's once majestic power, are rotting away, victims of abuse and disinterest.
Frank LangfittTHE BALTIMORE SUN
BEIJING -- The Forbidden City is a spectacular palace that Chinese emperors once called home, but it desperately needs a face lift. Vermilion paint peels from the walls, weeds sprout from the ceramic tile roofs and pieces of broken sculpture lie strewn about one of the courtyards.
In nearby Hebei Province, two sections of the Great Wall -- one dating to the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907) -- were demolished this year to make way for a new road and the expansion of a vegetable company.
As a nation, China bases much of its claim to greatness on its 5,000 years of history and ancient culture, yet at times it treats some of its treasures like second-hand clothes.
"Any Chinese would feel angry at the sight," said Chai Xiaoming, a national cultural relics protection official, referring to the deteriorated condition of the Forbidden City.
Preserving and protecting antiquities has always been a challenge in this poor, sprawling and turbulent nation where incomes are rising but still low and about 150 million people can't read.
Over the years, peasants have stripped countless bricks from the Great Wall to build homes, outhouses and pigpens. During the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution, when Mao Tse-tung unleashed a war on the nation's ancient heritage and traditions, Red Guards tore off the heads of Buddhist statues and destroyed hundreds of Tibetan monasteries.
Preservation vs. development
As this nominally Communist country has pushed forward with market economic reforms in the past two decades, though, there has been an increasing clash between development and preservation. For many poor Chinese, it's an easy choice.
Wang, a 61-year-old farmer, tends a grove of peach trees next to the Great Wall in the coastal city of Shanhaiguan. In the fall, local officials ripped out a 115-foot section for a new road that would reduce traffic jams and cut commuting time.
"The plan was to make a tunnel, but there was not enough money," said Wang, stuffing his hands inside the sleeves of his Mao jacket in his small stone-and-earth shack about 20 yards from the Great Wall. "The only option was to tear it down."
Like many in this city of 150,000, Wang thinks the benefits outweigh the costs. The new thoroughfare has reduced the time it takes him and thousands of others to get to the main road. He also points out that this section of the Great Wall -- which resembles a dirt mound because residents have taken away most of the bricks -- isn't all that pleasant to look at anyway.
"From the historic and symbolic perspective, it's the wrong thing to do," admits Wang, who declined to give his full name. But based on the demands of modern life, "I think it's a good thing."
Some Shanhaiguan residents such as Guang, a 62-year-old woman who runs a small Chinese restaurant, disagree. Guang, who also declines to give her full name, complains over cigarettes and cups of hot tea about the short-sightedness of local citizens.
"A lot of peasants don't have any feeling toward cultural relics," she says. "They don't care and even if you show them why they should care, they don't."
Wall comes down
It is easy to see why some people would favor road-building over preservation in Shanhaiguan. A port city wedged between the mountains and the sea, it suffers from high unemployment because of China's failing state-owned industries. Although tourists visit in the summer to see where the Great Wall meets the ocean, cab drivers line up at the railway station on winter nights to fight for fares.
The Great Wall runs through much of Shanhaiguan, and tunnels have been carved in a number of spots to accommodate roads. Local officials, under heavy criticism from the central and provincial governments, now plan to reconnect the severed section by building four arches at a cost of $241,000.
Chai says local governments rarely demolish segments of the Great Wall and that Chinese are becoming more educated about historic preservation as their standard of living increases. He cites a case this year in which nearly 100 residents signed a petition opposing the construction of an apartment building near the foundation of an ancient wall in coastal Jiangsu Province.
"As the economy develops, people will become more concerned about cultural relics," he says.
If the destruction of the Great Wall at Shanhaiguan was due to ignorance, the dilapidated condition of the Forbidden City seems more a matter of neglect and inadequate funding. Each year, it brings in more than $15 million in ticket revenue -- which goes to the government treasury -- yet less than $1 million is spent annually on basic maintenance.
That doesn't seem like a lot of money for a complex that was originally built more than 500 years ago, covers more than 150 acres and is one of the most-visible symbols of the world's most-populous country.
Obvious decay
Strolling through the courtyards and among the buildings, visitors can't help but notice the decay. The weeds grow so thick on the rooftops that you could run a lawn mower across them. Graffiti cover the walls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Hu Wanbin was here for a visit, 1997.7.24," reads one entry which appears to have been carved with a rock. "Wishing to live long and come hundreds of kilometers to enjoy the moon with you," reads another, quoting a Song Dynasty love poem.
In the courtyard below the Hall of Central Harmony, a broken sculpture of a dragon's head has lain for more than two months.
"It could be neglect," says Li Deshan, who oversees the maintenance of the buildings, when asked why the sculpture hasn't been moved.
Li, who earns $1,451 a year, says there is enough money to keep up the Forbidden City. He also notes that the government plans to spend about $72 million to dredge the moat that surrounds it.
Some residents use the ancient canal as a dump. The trash -- which includes garbage, shoes, bottles and window frames -- is more than six feet thick in some sections.
To preserve other parts of the Forbidden City, the government has built an underground vault for relics. It also requires tourists to wear slippers in certain buildings.
Li says that, overall, he thinks the Forbidden City is well kept, but some Chinese visitors disagree.
"It really needs to be repaired in the future," says Xu Chu, a 30-year-old engineer from Beijing. "This is a very valuable part of Chinese heritage."

Groundwater bodies
What is a groundwater body and how are groundwater bodies classified in Austria?
© BMLRT/UBA
In the course of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive No 2000/60/EC the groundwater aquifers of the whole federal territory of Austria have been pooled to groundwater bodies. A groundwater body is a delimited water volume within one or several groundwater aquifers. This identification is based on the geological and hydro-geological maps of the Geological Federal Institution, as well as on the results of the measuring networks recording the characteristics of groundwater and the groundwater levels.
Vertically a differentiation is made between near-surface groundwater bodies and profound water bodies. Near-surface are those groundwater bodies up to the basis of the upper relevant groundwater storey and/or those shares of the groundwater, which are in the present water cycle and cannot be called profound water bodies.
Due to the identification of 138 groundwater bodies the Austrian territory is seamlessly recorded and classified into the following groundwater bodies:
63 individual groundwater bodies
Individual groundwater bodies can be described as hydrologically interconnected, three-dimensionally delimitable water volume and have, as a rule, an extent of at least 50 m². About 13.5 %, which are approximately 11,307 km², of the federal territory (83,858 km²) are assigned to individual groundwater bodies.
These individual groundwater bodies are, for the most part, found in quaternary sediments, the aquifers are formed as pore groundwater aquifers.
66 groups of groundwater bodies
The total remaining area of the federal territory is summarized to groups of groundwater bodies. The delimitation takes place according to hydrologically relevant tectonic large-scale units, as well as according to the borders of planning areas. One of the three predominant aquifer characteristics, pore, crevice and karstic groundwater aquifers, is assigned to each group.
9 profound water bodies
Profound water bodies are, according to the Water Framework Directive No 2000/60/EC, only identified if they extend over a larger area, are important for water management due to current utilizations, and if there is sufficient knowledge about them available in order to describe them. One profound groundwater body has been identified as individual groundwater body, the others as groups of groundwater bodies.

40 Glocc Busted for Prostitution Ring in Minnesota
Kairi Coe
If you thought 40 Glocc's year wasn't grim enough, TMZ's latest finding shows the problematic rapper has more than a medical recovery to deal with these days.
According to their website, 40 was arrested on Feb. 23 after law enforcement learned of him and three others' involvement in a prostitution ring. Reports claim he drove a woman to an undisclosed location so she could perform sexual acts on someone she'd met on Backpage.com. Shortly afterwards, the unidentified female was arrested by the undercover Minnesota cop who contacted them for her services, unbeknownst to 40 and his partner.
Detectives noticed her Bluetooth was in the middle of call during the arraignment and tracked down 40's vehicle some time later, finding his hands covered in blood after he attempted to destroy any evidence of his involvement. The rapper—charged with 2 counts of intentionally promoting the prostitution of an individual and 1 count of inducing an individual to practice prostitution—will face a judge for the case in October.
While out on bail, 40 Glocc was shot twice during the burial of his slain friend in San Bernardino Calif. on June 15. The rapper, known for his infamous feud with The Game five years ago, sustained wounds to his arm and chest, and was said to be in stable condition one day after what many believe to be an attempted murder. A woman who was also in the cemetery was hit by a car around the same time, though there's been no word if the two incidents are connected.

Currently viewing the tag: "sleep"
One of the points I have the most difficulty getting across in my talks is that it is impossible to think of nothing. For some reason, resistance to accepting this is strong. What do I say to those who insist that not only is it possible to think of nothing, but that they can and have done so?


In my courses, I teach the Law of Constant Change as a fundamental law of our life that needs to be both understood and harnessed if we are to have a happy and successful life. The Law states that everything in our life is in constant change, constantly in the process of becoming something else. Nothing stays exactly as it is. Nothing. Movement and change constitute the reality of our being.
Yes, Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.
No only is He immutable, but He is glorious beyond all human imagination!

Bulgaria's State Enterprise Radioactive Waste (SE-RAW) has approved the launch of a liquid radioactive waste processing system called "Dunav."
Georgi Gyoshev from SE RAW, as cited in a media statement of the state-owned company, informs that the installation was built in line with all construction norms and nuclear safety standards.
The equipment and the systems were mounted after a series of tests carried out in line with the requirements of the contracting authority.
The installation was mounted by Bulgarian specialists under the supervision of Russian Atomstroyexport.
The Russian partners from the Nizhny Novgorod Engineering Company Atomenergoproekt and Atomstroyexport will keep lending assistance with the servicing of the equipment during the 36-month warranty period.
"The construction was carried out within the frame of an international program for the decommissioning of the four units of Kozloduy NPP and was financed by the European Commission. The investor in the project was the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)," the statement of SE-RAW informs.
The "Dunav" system was created to solve problems with the processing of liquid radioactive waste generated during the decommissioning of the four VVER 440-230 units of Kozloduy NPP and to reduce radiation risks in the storage of this type of waste.
We need your support so Novinite.com can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria! Thank you!

Jesus said, "Apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5 NIV).
Paul said that he "put no confidence in the flesh" (Philippians 3:3). In other words, he didn't think that he was good enough because of any particular talent or ability that he had on his own. But his confidence came from his understanding of who he was as a child of God. Someone once said, "A man wrapped up in himself makes a pretty small package." But a man, or woman, wrapped up in God is an amazing sight to behold.
I believe we can change our inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy into unshakable confidence by understanding who we are, what we have, and where we are as a child of God. I am not advocating confidence in self, but confidence in God - confidence in who you are because of what Jesus has done for you and what the Holy Spirit can do through you. Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5,6 TNIV). Connected to the vine you can do everything God calls you to do (Philippians 4:13).
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now that I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size-abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
Paul had great confidence. The prefix, "con" means "with" and the root "fid" means faith." So a confident person is one who walks in faith. We walk in faith that we are holy, chosen, redeemed, dearly loved children of God who are empowered by the Holy Spirit, equipped by our Maker, and enveloped by Jesus Christ. Now that's real God-confidence.
Dear God, I know that I can do nothing of any true lasting value apart from You. However, when I abide in Christ and He works through me, I can accomplish anything You have called me to do. Help me to understand the power that is within me and to have unshakable confidence in Christ today.
Take a look at what you have been trying to accomplish in your own life. Are you working in your own strength, or are you depending on Jesus working through you?
I'd love to hear your thoughts about that! Log onto www.facebook.com/sharonjaynesand let's chat.
Today's devotion was taken from Sharon's book, I'm Not Good Enough and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves. If you need a confidencebooster, then this book is for you! Begin seeing yourself as God sees you and discover the amazing potential you have to live the victorious Christian life!

15.12.2017: wta Carsten Weser GmbH supports the children and youth hospice "Mitteldeutschland" in Tambach-Dietharz.
Also this year we would like to take advantage of the celebration of Christmas as an occasion to think about those people, who in contrary to us, have few or no future perspectives at all. For this reason we also decided for this year that rather than sending Christmas presents we would instead support the children- and youth hospice "Mitteldeutschland" in Tambach-Dietharz.
The foundation "Kinderhospiz Mitteldeutschland Nordhausen e.V." made it their aim to assist children with a disease that shortens life expectancy, to relieve their families and to stand by them on their difficult "path of life". In all this, the wishes and needs of the guests of the hospice are the most important. The goal is to offer to all those concerned the highest quality of life possible.
The team of wta Carsten Weser GmbH wishes you and your family a happy and contemplative Christmas and a successful, happy and healthy New Year!

Quality Not Quantity - Five We Like
Buffalo Sunn - Told You So.
Background - Five-piece Rock/Alternative band based in Dublin, Ireland, incorporates sounds from the 60s, right up to the present day, mixing big reverb-laden harmonies with carefully placed guitars to take the listener on an epic journey. "Told You So" was produced by Grammy Award winner Pat McCarthy (U2, Counting Crows, R.E.M.). Their first single, "By Your Side" earned global airplay, which included over 450 spins at KKDO Radio 94.7 Sacramento.
Performed at multiple festivals and industry showcases including CMW (Canada), Music Matters Asia (Singapore), Liverpool Sound City (UK), Glasgowbury (UK), Hard Working Class Heroes (IE), CMJ (New York), SXSW (Austin, TX) and the Passport Approved Tour (Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Sacramento and more).
I am pretty certain Beehive Candy included Buffalo Sunn in a feature a couple of years back, in which case they are consistently very good. This is one of those tunes that grabbed me in the first few seconds, hopefully it will have the same effect on you.
Doctor Goddard - Without Love.
Background - Doctor Goddard is a rock band from the Blue Mountains, NSW who "fuse old school Jim Morrison-esque indie rock with distinctly contemporary sounds and production." (Lachlan Wyllie, 90.3FM) Singles "Do You Ever" and "The Bar's All Covered In Lies" off their debut EP received national airplay on Triple J and have been likened by critics to acts such as The War On Drugs, Pink Floyd and Tame Impala.
The band formed after brothers Mikael Sandström (vocals, guitar) and Nicholas Sandström (drums) met Cleveland, Ohio local Chris Seaman (bass) at a uni poker tournament in 2013 and bonded over a communal love of rock, late night card games and blues music.
The trio began honing their sound shortly before landing the support with The Preatures for their Is This How You Feel Sydney Tour in which time Doctor Goddard formed a friendship with producer Jack Moffitt (guitarist for The Preatures) who recorded their first EP in the summer of 2014 and their new single "Without Love". Since the EP's release in August 2014 and after playing gigs all over Sydney with bands such as Flyying Colours, I Know Leopard, Spookyland, Peking Duck, Sticky Fingers and Richard in Your Mind, Doctor Goddard has been complimented on its rich sound, raw live energy and kinetic rhythms.
"Without Love" was written and recorded live by Doctor Goddard over a 2 day session in the summer of 2015 and mixed at The Preatures studio, Doldrums. Lyrically about love and music a modern edge bleeds into Without Love whilst also saluting the ghosts of the west coast blues/rock scene in 1970's America.
OK so the vocal style is pure Jim Morrison & on this track the music and production is not far off The Doors at any moment. Thankfully they do it so well and with enough passion, that if nothing else, it makes up for the rapid demise of their forerunners, ("when the music's over - turn off the lights").
Idgy Dean - Ominous Harminus.
Background - Considered one of the most enigmatic performers in Brooklyn, Idgy Dean has satiated those who have been demanding more from the one woman hurricane. Blending instinctual tribal-esque rhythms (that she blasts out herself on stage and then loops) with Kate Bush-ian late night siren howling, Idgy Dean has accomplished what almost nobody is able to do today by creating a trademark brand of pop that almost certainly cannot be pigeon holed.
The new single, "Ominous Harminus" (the title track off the hyper personal LP out on September 18th) almost sounds like what a new waver in 1986 would write if inspired by 1960s movies about neanderthals. It's worth a listen, and much like the single's predecessors "The Indian Squirrel Dance" and "Bang Bang Sun" it has many of us hooked immediately.
This is refreshingly different in a very positive manner. The 'wall of sound' rhythms compete with Idgy's vocals, neither drowning out the other, just beating along together in this minor epic, excellent.
Aerials - Burn Burn Burn (from the EP 'Restless')
Background - Fresh off the stage supporting adrenaline rockers Dead Letter Circus, Brisbane's Aerials are set to unleash their sophomore EP, 'Restless'. Starting the year to capacity crowds at Melbourne's Rock the Bay, local hang Black Bear Lodge and a national run supporting Jericco on their 'Machine Made The Animal' tour, Aerials will be returning to the road with their own run of shows this spring, promising a lot sweat, strobes and riffs.
With Forrester Savell (Karnivool) returning to the desk, title-track and new single 'Restless' is a seductively sinister story packaged as a blinding-bright assault to the dance floor. The soon to be released David Lynch inspired video delves into an underground world of fetish, obsession and surrealism.
2014 was a break from the road, but a breakthrough as a band, following a week together in the wilderness to pen new material. A contradiction to the environment, the forthcoming EP is a collection of chaotic but cohesive pop with synthesized riffery and crunching beats, laced with the soaring and commanding croons of vocalist Jackson Walkden-Brown. The EP's teaser track 'Symptoms' received another Highly Commended Award from Q-Music in the Rock category.
The 'Restless' EP is available for pre-order via iTunes and bandcamp now and will be released September 4 via MGM.
This is one energy packed rock come wild pop EP. I have to say each track impressed me with their get on and enjoy it vibe. If you like the featured track the EP is one for your collection.
Naives - Horizon.
Background - Marc, a talented player of many instruments and former singer of the French band Megasushi (Paris 2006-1012) met Lapo, an italian-London based producer and bass player (Frost, Fanny Games), in 2012. They established the core of tribal-tropical-indie-dance outfit N-A-I-V-E-S in East-London. Josh Gimber (Sons & Lovers, Alpines, Ellie Goulding) joined the band in 2014 as a session drummer, and finally permanent drummer Benji (ex Mausi) joined the band in 2015.
N-A-I-V-E-S mix hook laden synths with big beat drums, to create charming electro pop bites, as fresh as they are unique. Their first single WIGO was released in February and the video hit 150.000 views (HERE). They supported Friendly Fires, Is Tropical, Reptile Youth, Goldie, Tessla Boy, Hot Sugar, Slow Magic, We Have Band, Mystery Jets and played a few crowded headline shows in Europe (Rome, Barcelona, Paris).
Gary Crowley played several tracks of the band in his show BBC London 94.9, they did a session for Radio Reprezent and they won an Auditions with Charlie Ashcroft on Amazing Radio.
There are so many good things going on with this song, the vocals and harmonies seemingly fly above an intense, yet bright and light soundtrack. Fresh and unique are fair words to describe this.

Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson started his betting profession by taking component in unlawful games held in Exchange Street, Texas as well as a pal, Dwayne Hamilton. At a later date the two of them journeyed through Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma taking component in larger games and getting together with other pro gamblers like Sailor Roberts and Amarillo Slim. Dwayne Hamilton left the team after a while and left the other three who for the next six years gambled on just about every thing. Then the group made a journey to Sin City and lost everything. That split up the collaboration however the three remain pals to this day. Doyle Brunson resides in Vegas.
Aside from his achievement at the casino game itself, Doyle Brunson's book Super/System, was also rather successful and is regarded by numerous a spades one of the most effective books on the game of poker. The book was initial printed in the late seventies and for the first time the average person was able to look at the casino game the way a pro player would. A sequel, Super/System 2 was released in 04. Doyle Brunson isn't the only writer to these books but it includes inputs from lots of other pro players like Mike Caro, Bobby Baldwin, David Sklansky, Joey Hawthorne, as well as Chip Reese. Apart from these two guides, Brunson has also written Poker Wisdom of a Champion, a publication that was originally named According to Doyle.
Doyle Brunson is still productive on the world poker scene and in the year 2003 he won his ninth gold bracelet. In 2004, he finished fifty-third out of two and a half thousand players in No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Championship as well as succeeding the Legends of Poker WPT that gained him an additional 1 million dollars in prize cash. His winnings continued into 2005 when he claimed his tenth World Series of Poker bracelet. In doing so he tied the score with Johnny Chan who had also won the exact same series for the 10th time.
Doyle Brunson's moniker, "Texas Dolly," is really a product of error made by Jimmy Snyder who was anticipated to say, "Texas Doyle" when announcing Brunson but read the first name wrongly. The moniker stuck and his pals inside the wagering world simply call him Dolly.
Two Hold em hands are named after Doyle Brunson. The Ten and Two of any suit is one such hand while the other is identified by his name and comprises of the Ace and Queen of any suit. The 2nd hand was named based upon a remark in his publication that claims Doyle Brunson does not play this hand. Doyle Brunson now has his own internet based Poker room called "Doyles Room".

Browns to interview Eagles' Dennard Wilson for DC position; report
Dave Zangaro
January 14, 2023, 8:49 AM ·3 min read
Browns will reportedly interview Eagles' coach for DC opening originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Cleveland Browns will reportedly interview Eagles defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator Dennard Wilson on Saturday for their vacant defensive coordinator position.
That would be a big loss for the Eagles.
The news of the Browns' plan to interview Wilson was initially reported by CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, while Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reported that the interview is scheduled for Saturday.
The Eagles have to hope the Browns drag out this process. Because Jonathan Gannon is again a candidate for the head coaching gig in Houston and the most obvious in-house replacement for him is Wilson, who won't be able to be promoted if he's already in Cleveland.
Wilson, 40, has been with the Eagles has their defensive backs coach since 2021, joining the staff under Nick Sirianni and Gannon. For this past season, he was promoted and the title of defensive passing game coordinator was added next to his name.
Wilson has coached defensive backs in the NFL for years. Before coming to Philly, he was with the Jets and before that with the Rams. He also had a cup of coffee in the NFL as a player after going undrafted out of Maryland in 2004.
When Gannon began interviewing for head coaching jobs last year, Wilson was of course thinking about how he'd handle thing whenever he ends up in the DC chair.
"Look, I've been doing this for a long time and I've been around some great defensive coordinators in my opinion," Wilson said this summer. "I've been groomed by Gregg Williams, I've been groomed by Todd Bowles, who are very good in this league and are very thorough. So I've been tutored by them.
"I know how to run a ship, I know the responsibilities. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll be more than ready for it. But I'm here where my feet are and I'm just trying to be the best defensive back coach I can be."
The Eagles this season finished with the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL, giving up just 179.8 yards per game through the air.
Sure, the Eagles have one of the best groups of cornerbacks in the NFL but they've also needed to piece together some of the secondary because of injuries and Wilson has gotten good play out of UDFA Reed Blankenship and backup K'Von Wallace, among others.
Wilson's players really seem to think an awful lot of him too. They praise him every chance they get.
Last year after his incredible 2021 season, Darius Slay wondered aloud why Wilson hadn't yet been named a defensive coordinator.
"He ain't never steered me wrong, not once yet," Slay said. "Like I said, I'm just surprised he's been in the game 15 years and not had a DC job because he's a smart dude. And he played in this league before so I won't be surprised if sooner or later he has one of them jobs."
