I hope everyone had a happy (and safe) 4th of July. I had all kinds of great blogging plans for some spectacular Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes and other party recipes, but got derailed. Completely foiled. Those posts will be coming soon and they'll still be perfect for all the summer parties yet to come.
In the meantime, I've made these Blackberry Yogurt Swirl Popsicles several times and finally managed to get a few photos in before they all disappeared (again)! These are fantastic and a little more sophisticated than the popsicles the kids and I used to make in paper dixie cups way back when.
But these swirled berry popsicles aren't too sophisticated. They're popsicles, after all. A very simple lemon (or lime) infused syrup perks up the berry flavors and gives the yogurt the perfect popsicle texture.
It's well worth the little extra time and effort. That syrup is a game-changer – if you've ever had a yogurt pop that was a little gooey or a little chalky you won't have that issue.
I've been slacking a little on making popsicles – I love that they're fun and give a little portion control. And popsicles are so inexpensive to make at home. It's been so hot this year I think I might declare this the year of the popsicle and make bunches and bunches of them!
If you're looking for kitchen gadgets, don't be afraid to stop by your second-hand stores and donation centers…you never know what you'll find. It make take some persistence and repeated visits if you're looking for one particular item; I generally take the attitude that I'll probably find something I want/need (even if I didn't know it) and I usualy bring something to donate, which makes me feel better about buying more random kitchen stuff!
Place lemon peel, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until it comes to a boil and sugar has dissolved. Gently simmer an addition five minutes. Strain, discarding peel and completely chill.
This may be made ahead and refrigerated or cooled quickly by straining into a small bowl and then setting that bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice water. It should be cold to touch before using.
If your berries are large, especially those huge blackberries I see in the market these days, cut them in half. Place berries in non-reactive bowl and squeeze 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice over. Add honey, stir to combine. Set aside.
Whisk yogurt and chilled syrup together and set aside.
For the berry mixture, either mash by hand to desired texture or place in a blender and puree. If you wish to remove seeds, press through a strainer.
Assemble popsicles by spooning in (or pouring) a little of the yogurt mixture, then a little of the berry mixture into each popsicle mold, repeating until you reach 1/4-inch from the tops (to leave room for expansion as they freeze). Use a skewer to lightly swirl the mixtures together.
Freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (45 minutes to 1 hour) then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
Makes 10 popsicles in 1/3 cup molds. Amount will vary depending on what molds are used.
Note: If time allows, and especially if the popsicles won't be eaten all at once, right away, I like prefreeze a plate or tray before unmolding the popsicles. Then I place the mold in hot water for 10 second increments and as soon as they pop out, lay them out on the frozen plate and put back in the freezer. That keeps them from melting prematurely from the heat of the unmolding.
Adapted from Fany Gerson's Paletas, by way of Smitten Kitchen.
I'll be posting this recipe on Fiesta Friday number 179, hosted by Angie and co-hosted by Petra @ Food Eat Love and Laura @ Feast Wisely.Be sure to stop by Fiesta Friday and Petra and Laura's blogs and see what everyone is making this week.

What a perfect treat on a hot summers day! Yum 🙂 Happy FF!
I've got some raspberries and greek yogurt on hand, I wish I had popsicle molds! These sound so refreshing!
Ha! They taste the same no matter the mold! They do look and sound delicious. Our blackberries are winding down, but I could probably gather up enough for some of these!
Mollie, I have 9-year-old twin nieces. They would love these. Alas, we are mid winter here in New Zealand so no fresh blackberries on offer. I shall have to stash this recipe away until the seasons change.
Thanks, Tracey, but you could try it with frozen berries, since they're frozen anyway – if you like to eat frozen stuff in the winter!
Thanks, Mollie. I do often defrost frozen blueberries for my muesli in the morning. So could definitely try this.
I want this popsicle asap, looks incredible!
Thanks much!! Sorry for the late reply!! I'm losing it between doc appts for the folks and yard work….
No biggie. That's more important. Happy cooking.
Me, too, Suzanne. I know everyone is allabout eating locally and I don't know where these blackberries came from (no where near here, I'm guessing) but they were soooo good! I was putting a few in the bowl, eating a few, lol.

Over the course of almost two decades now East Coast indie-rock group Wintersleep have carved a very fine body of work. Fortunately for fans the latest effort, In The Land Of (out March 29), finds the quintet once again crafting criminally timeless nuggets that work smoothly.
Asking singer and guitarist Paul Murphy about the process to get to the finish line proves it wasn't simply entering the studio and waiting for that moment of inspiration.
Murphy says the album's cornerstone in some respects was the catchy arrangement of "Beneficiary" despite its stark lyrical content.
Wintersleep's knack for arrangements came full circle of sorts on "Free Pour," a song originating as a demo the group hoped to build from. Yet by the end of working on it, they realized the demo was essentially the keeper.
"We ended up trying to put stuff on that and trying to make it sort of an electronic sounding song," Murphy recalls. "And it just didn't really work and then we tried a few different versions of it in the studio that didn't work. Then we actually ended up going back to the original demo and just tracking the minimal drums and bass and parts and it brought it to life. That was after we were officially done tracking.
The group, who hits Toronto's Danforth Music Hall on April 13, says the tour's infancy has been great with fans responding well to the new material. Murphy says roughly half of the new songs will be performed with subsequent legs seeing the band playing other tracks from In The Land Of.
And in an age when many of their peers have called it a day or branched out into other projects, Murphy says Wintersleep is still an entity thanks to a few simple but integral reasons.

Where is the quill in Lake Honrich?
January 10, 2022 Posted By: Alex Rubell
When the Quill is present, it is in Vald's Strongbox, which has a levelling lock and is housed in a submerged rowboat that is about half way between the enormous boat parked at Riften Fishery and the boat docked at the Goldenglow Estate.

The Voice Recognition Market aims to enhance security to combat the increasing number of fraudulent activities in banking operations, defense and some others. Voice recognition is a software that has the ability to convert and decode human voice to text that can easily understood by a computer.
On the basis of the fact that every individual will have unique voice & fingerprint, biometric technology has been developed which could identify and authenticate an individual based on fingerprint or IRIS pattern and now of course, voice pattern. Across all over the world, the government agencies have been using voice biometrics as a means of authentication and verification for individuals to access physical as well as logical data access.
The rising need of voice biometrics for voice identification purpose from government agencies and many corporate sectors has been resulting in the demand for the voice recognition applications. This demand driving factor is major growth driving factor for the Voice Recognition Market. Increase in use of voice recognition techniques in automotive sector to control infotainment systems in cars and for security purposes also driving the market wit the significant growth rate. Wearable market is also looking at the technology and the same is already implemented across certain smart watches.

Syracuse, unheralded as a No. 10 seed in the Midwest Regional, is going to the Final Four. The Orange are the fourth double-digit seeded team in NCAA history to go to the Final Four.
And the 'Cuse rose to the occasion in shocking fashion.
Syracuse trailed Virginia 54-39 midway through the second half before going on a stunning 29-8 run in the final nine and a-half minutes. During one stretch, Syracuse scored 15 straight points. The final was 68-62 Syracuse. After the game, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said he has "never been prouder" of any team in his 40-year coaching career.
Malachi Richardson scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half. Michael Gbinije and freshman Tyler Lydon each scored 11 points for Syracuse, which will play North Carolina on Saturday in one national semifinal.
North Carolina will be the lone No. 1 seed at the Final Four in Houston. The Tar Heels repelled a spirited Notre Dame comeback to beat the Irish 88-74 to win the East Regional. North Carolina is in the Final Four for a record 19th time, and the first since the Tar Heels won it all in 2009.
The Tar Heels had built an 11-point lead in the second half, lost it but regained their composure to regain the lead and win handily. Brice Johnson led the Tar Heels with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Marcus Paige added 13 points as all five North Carolina starters hit double figures.
The other two spots in the national semifinals in Houston were determined Saturday night with Villanova and Oklahoma advancing. They will play the first game next Saturday.
The championship game is Monday, April 4.


Common you've got to admit it back to school shopping is fun! Especially when it's for you!
Yes the kids need their new outfits but let's face it you would love to look nice and get a few new outfits too. But who has the time to shop for themselves when there is so much to get done.
Here are a few pieces that will work great with basics you already have. Plus you can mix and match all most all of these items to get multiple outfits. The thing I love about this mix the fall color palette. The colors say fall but will be wearable during this transitional time.

Probably you havent forgotten about HP's last year fire-sale bonanza when the company decided to sell the TouchPad slate for a surprisingly low price. A few lucky people got it for as low as $99. For their very own amazement the slate was also running the Android OS instead of the usual webOS. Meanwhile HP declared the TouchPad production line dead, but if you;re interested in buying one you can still find it for around $220.
HP took an interesting decision today, to finally put the internal Android Kernel source code of the TouchPad to good use by offering it to recognized developer group — CyanogenMod.
Now that the kernel source is at their disposal maybe the team will finally manage to fix camera's shooting problem, also to add support to the GPU to be able to play advanced 3D games like GTA III, Dead Space and all those Gameloft addictive games.


Discussion in 'Burners and their construction' started by Mark's castings, Mar 30, 2019.
I'd been tossing a few ideas around in my head on how to solve a couple of problems with the spinning cup atomiser: first one is that you get a flat disc-like plane of spray at right angles to your tuyere/air inlet that is hard to blow in the right direction. Most of my experiments were able to direct the flow into a 90 degree cone with a large amount of airflow. The second issue is that getting the fuel into the cone via a hollow pipe has technical problems getting a good seal, a 270 degree bend in the fuel pipe to enter the mouth of the spinning cup has fuel boiling problems and dripping caused by the spray being intercepted.
I dug out my old faithful "Flame" brand motor tool test bed and fitted one of the early spinning cups back on it. This time the fuel tube places fuel on the outside of the spinning cup where a kitchen scouring pad lightly rubs the spinning cup outside. The pad catches the fuel from the tube and ensures good contact of the fuel with the spinning cup: without it most of the fuel bounces off a boundary layer of air on the cup surface and bounces right off again uselessly. The second even more important thing which I found out by accident today is the pad allows fuel to be atomized in one narrow arc instead of a flat plane. In theory you could mount the spinning cup/cylinder at right angles to the tuyere pipe with the fuel spray going into the furnace.
There's a few issues to be sorted out but for a Sunday afternoon experiment, I think it's a pretty good result.
So this is the old spinning cup assembly used, it shows the fuel tube location before the scouring pad strip is wrapped around the cup.
Saw that tonight on YT.............. Fill that bucket up with some diesel and let's see some flames. Looks promising.
It's a great water based proof of concept but I'll rig up something a bit more permanent for the furnace and less likely to be dangerous and spectacular. I have to raise the height of the furnace first and boost the volume of combustion space under the crucible as i screwed up that part of the furnace. I might experiment with the lid off and the crucible sitting on a brick to raise it up.


resident and Northern Educate student athlete Sydney Langseth has seen the effects firsthand. Most students focus intensely on one sport (the Eden Prairie location only offers hockey), but still have the option to try others. Sydney is mainly focused on hockey, but also enjoys playing lacrosse and getting active in a variety of other ways. An all around good student despite some struggles with math, the sixth grade hockey phenom benefited being able to go at her own pace. "If I was struggling, the other students wouldn't have to wait for me, and if I was ahead I could just keep on going," Sydney said. Her parents, Katie and Ryan Langseth, also saw the benefits their daughter reaped last year from the unique setting at the Eagan location.
"There's a misconception that this is like home schooling," Ryan said. "We're as involved as we've ever been. This is so beyond private school. "After attending Eagle Heights Spanish Immersion School, Sydney was able to feel at home taking Spanish classes with high school students. With small class sizes, students of all ages and backgrounds are able to get to know each other in ways not commonly seen at a typical school, according to the Langseths. "They really welcomed her," Ryan added.
just seven students at the beginning of the first year to 100 students last year. So far, 10 students are enrolled at the Eden Prairie location, which serves students grades K 8, but Dundore expects the number to grow. Northern Educate has set its sites on becoming immer.


One of the treasures of our museum at South Mountain Heritage Society is the historic Pomplitz and Rodewald Pipe Organ, which stands just to the side of the chancel in the old Resurrection Reformed Church. Surviving the ravages of time, war, and neglect, this historic instrument is remarkably well preserved. Visitors to the museum have the chance to see an example of hundreds of years of technology represented in this small instrument.
August Pomplitz was born in Prussia in 1825, and apprenticed with the great German organ builder Eberhardt Walcker. After immigrating to the United States, he opened his own manufacturing business in Baltimore, partnering with Henry Rodewald in 1851. The firm of Pomplitz and Rodewald produced pipe organs until 1862, at which time Rodewald withdrew from the firm. Pomplitz continued producing organs until his death in 1877, at which time his son took over the company. Over its history, the Pomplitz Organ Company produced an estimated 225 instruments, mainly in the Mid-Atlantic region.
It is not known exactly when the organ at Resurrection Reformed Church was installed, but the name plate above the manual (keyboard) bears both the Pomplitz and Rodewald names, which indicates it was constructed sometime between 1851 and 1862. This places the organ among the oldest in the state of Maryland, and certainly among the oldest in their original locations. In all likelihood, the organ was in place when the Battle of South Mountain occurred on September 14, 1862, and damaged ornamental parts of the organ suggest that is was in the church when the building was being used as a hospital during the four months succeeding the battle, although records do not mention the instrument being damaged.
The organ at South Mountain Heritage Society is a small instrument, of 2 ranks, or sections of pipes. The forward rank contains tin pipes, and the second rank contains wood pipes. All together, there are approximately 120 pipes in the organ. These pipes are controlled from a single, 54-key manual and a 13-note pedal board. Four stops, situated in pairs of 2 on either side of the manual, control different ranks of the organ. Only one of these stops maintains its ivory label, the stop for the principal, which is the foundation sound of the instrument.
To power the instrument, a handle on the side of the organ has to be pumped, which opens the large bellows in the base of the organ. From here, air is pumped into wind chests, or wooden boxes on which the pipes rest. When a key is pressed, it pulls a long wooden rod, known as a tracker, which opens a valve under the pipe. Air from the wind chest enters the pipe and the vibration from the air produces the sound. A string attached to the bellows lowers a small lead counterweight on the outside of the organ case, which lets the person pumping the organ know how much air is left in the instrument. This complex machine represents centuries of organ design and construction, making this a small example of the same instruments the great composers like Bach and Handel played in Europe. The entire instrument is mechanical, and the only electric component of the organ is the light which hangs over the manual.
Within the collection at South Mountain Heritage Society are numerous hymnals and music books, dating back to 1866. From these artifacts, we are able to recreate the auditory environment which Burkittsville residents witnessed in this history structure going back to the Civil War era., by playing the hymns which they sung on the same organ which they heard. This is one of the greatest components of our interpretation program here at South Mountain Heritage Society.
Visit the museum to get a chance to see (and hear) the historic Pomplitz and Rodewald Pipe Organ!


I was reading a blog post this evening by someone who told a story about a young woman who was desperately unhappy with her life, her career and her relationship. The author mentioned that although she was not happy with her life, she would not make the decisions required to get her out of that rut and unhappiness.
The reason why? The pain she is experiencing now is something she is familiar with. It is known to her. She may not be happy but it is comforting to her in it's familiarity.
This blog post hit very close to home. There is a decision that I have been putting off for a long time now, because to make the decision would cause me a lot of pain. That pain frightens me. I don't want to know what it would be like. But here's the kicker. By not making that decision and staying where I am now, is causing me terrible pain. Every day is a challenge to pretend to the world that all is well.
On the surface I am happy, fulfilled and content. I have my wonderful children, my friends and my work which keeps me busy. When I have free time, I use the opportunity to read and learn new things. And all of this is fulfilling, but there is a deep hole in my heart that will not get healed by staying where I am.
There is no guarantee that by making the decision I know I need to make, that the hole in my heart will go away. It probably won't. However staying where I am now has not healed it either. So what do I do?
Do I take a chance, make the decision and know that the pain will crush me? Or do I stay where I am now and allow the pain to slowly tear me apart until I am a shadow of who I can be. Do I live in hope that things will change? Or do I force a change, regardless of the cost to my heart.
I am reminded of the quote; "Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results". I have lived with this particular situation for two and a half years and there has been no change. Hope is the only thing that has kept me going.
Then I read a quote that said "You should not give up on the thing that you think about every day". Is it giving up if I make the decision? Have I lost faith? Is my judgement so flawed by my heart that my decisions in the past were wrong?
I don't know the answer, but what I do know is that I have to make a change. No matter what decision I make, it will not change how I feel. The pain will be just as great but maybe, just maybe, by making the radical change required my life might change.
So in June next year, when my lease is up, I will be moving to a new home. My heart will shatter even further but it is better than dying a slow emotional death.

When you should hire an accountant?
If you involve an accountant while you're writing your business plan, they will be able to use accounting software to add financial projections and other reports to it. This will help you create a business plan that's realistic, professional and more likely to succeed.
If your accountant uses cloud-based accounting software, they'll be able to share your business accounts with you quickly and easily. And they can produce tables and charts that will help you understand your company's current financial situation at a glance. This will help you monitor the pulse of your business and keep track of important things like cashflow.
At some point you will have to let go, and learn to trust other peopleto handle some parts of your business.
Handle your payroll and ensuring that all employees' tax codes and payments are recorded correctly.
Preparing your tax documents correctly could save you money – perhaps more money than your accountant charges you. And a good accountant will use their knowledge of tax laws and legislation to suggest ways you can free up cashflow, save money and raise capital for expansion.
If you don't already have an accountant at this point, it's a good time to hire one. They can give you advice on how to work within the auditing process. They can also help ensure you don't violate any tax laws afterwards – because the government will almost certainly be watching.
But it's better to hire an accountant before an audit ever happens, especially if you can find one who will offer audit insurance. Audit insurance covers the fees you would have had to pay if your business needed to respond to an official enquiry, review, investigation or audit by a tax department. An accountant who offers audit insurance means they won't charge any extra for the considerable amount of work they'll have to carry out during the audit process.
It's better to hire an accountant before an audit ever happens, especially if you can find one who will offer audit insurance.
Banks like to know they'll get back the money they lend out. Since the credit crunch, lending to small businesses has dropped in most countries. This makes it all the more important that you have a sound business case when you apply for a loan or overdraft.
An accountant can help improve your chances. Even the fact that you have an accountant might sway the bank in your favour, as it implies you're serious about your business. With good accounting software, your accountant can present facts and figures that back up your application for funding. They'll also be able to answer any questions your bank might have about revenue projections and expenses.
Companies don't always grow at a steady rate. A new client or a big project can mean you need to grow your business more quickly than expected.
An accountant can also use accounting software to analyse your cashflow, inventory management and pricing. They can also provide insight into how to properly grow your business through financial analysis. They could even help determine when is the best time to introduce a new product or service offering to your range.
It can be hard for someone new to running a business to tell whether it's worth taking on a particular franchise. That's where an accountant can help. They can look through the franchise contract to find out the fees and percentages charged, then help you estimate your likely income after those costs have been deducted.
An accountant will put your company's financial records in order and produce statements of accounts that you can show to prospective buyers. Using high quality accounting software they can create useful charts and tables to show your company in a good light. They can also talk to any potential buyers' accountants during the due diligence process, which is often a legal requirement when a business is being taken over.
As you can see, accountants can help you out during every stage of your company's development. That doesn't mean you have to hire one, but the right accountant should make life easier for you, so you can concentrate on what you love doing.
Your speciality is running your business. Leave the financial detail to an accountant. If you and your accountant use cloud-based accounting software, you'll be able to keep track of what your accountant does, and always be able to see your company's financial situation at a glance.


Mandarin Oriental Hotels is investigating a credit card breach that took place at some of its upscale hotels.
The data breach likely occurred on payment terminals at restaurants and other businesses inside the hotels rather than the front desk, according to Brian Krebs, a security expert who first reported the breach.
Initial reports indicate the breach may date back to December and has likely affected all seven Mandarin Oriental hotels in the United States. Those hotels are located in Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
Mandarin Oriental has 20 other luxury hotels around the world including 13 in the Asia Pacific region and seven in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
"Mandarin Oriental can confirm that the credit card systems in an isolated number of our hotels in the US and Europe have been accessed without authorization and in violation of both civil and criminal law. The Group has identified and removed the malware and is coordinating with credit card agencies, law enforcement authorities and forensic specialists to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to fully protect our guests and our systems across our portfolio," the company said in a statement.
Major data breaches have taken place throughout the past year at major retailers including Target, Home Depot and Staples. Another major hotel chain, White Lodging, was the target of a data breach in February of 2014.


Dog Aid, a charity which trains assistance dogs for the disabled have many clients who struggle with undoing the dog harness fastener. They have tried 'push to click and squeeze to release' and Velcro and both are difficult for some users. Does anyone know of a suitable actuated fastener or any other ideas? Comment below!
Have a look at Fidlock V-Buckle, a magnetically retained 25mm buckle that is easy to join and separate. Available from Amazon, eBay and some outdoor equipment suppliers.
There are alternatives to the use of a harness, these are only really required if the dog pulls on the lead (training should have eliminated this tendency), A "half-choke" collar adjusted so that when tight fits the dog's neck can be permanently attached to the lead and slipped over the dog's head when required. It does mean that a flat collar has to be worn as well to carry the legally required identification tags.
Thanks to all who responded. I will discuss these with the client.
Thanks Ashley, I'll have a look.
The request is about the harness rather than the lead isn't it? Any chance of a picture of the harness showing the difficulty? Is it a standard belt buckle that is too difficult?

The US is eager to brag about their record number of airstrikes in the ISIS war, with the rate of growth in the number of strikes launched limited only by their ability to get enough weapons to drop on people. Officially, the death toll has remained trivial, albeit increasingly non-credible.
NGOs keeping track of the number of civilians the US is killing show a different story, however, with the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights putting the death toll at 225 over the last month, which by their reckoning is the most civilians the US has killed in any one month span of the ISIS war.
That's a conservative estimate too, even though it's likely more than 10 times what the Pentagon will admit to. Indeed, Air Wars themselves counted 230 civilians killed in a single US strike in Mosul, and they too recognize that the civilian toll is continuing to rise precipitously.
The Pentagon, of course, noticed that incident where they killed 230 people, and talked about it in several press briefings. When it came time to offer the official report on civilian casualties for the month, however, it was completely absent from their very short list of admitted to incidents, and no explanation was offered.
Killing civilians is a normal part the "irregular warfare" taught at the former School of the Americas, now known as The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC).
The US arms, funds and trains their enemies so later they can use as an excuse to attack them they are a threat to world peace and especially the US. The US is the largest arms dealer on the planet by far.
"Thou shalt not kill" means if you kill, no matter how and no matter why, there are serious consequences for your soul which you cannot escape. Self-defense is no exception. The only religion which once understood this Mosaic law was the Greek Christian Orthodoxy which demanded that soldiers who had killed an enemy in battle still had to confess. Western Christianity totally ignores Matthew 5:17 and a lot more. It venerates killing.
As I read the Brit press reports of the attack in Manchester, I began to wonder if the Arabs get as upset when we kill their children as we do when they kill ours.
Where is Ivanka? Is she going to show daddy all the dead civilians he is killing?


New Zealand's strong economy gives Finance Minister Steven Joyce room to move.
Growing pains demand innovative solutions.
New Zealand's tax system needs adjustment for housing affordability and an aging population.
On May 25 New Zealand Finance Minister Steven Joyce will deliver his first Budget since his predecessor Bill English assumed the prime ministership with the retirement of John Key in December 2016.
Joyce is in an enviable position with lots of room to move. New Zealand is experiencing strong economic growth and budget surpluses. The National government has confidence and supply agreements with the ACT, United Future, and Māori parties, giving it a clear majority in New Zealand's single house of parliament. No testy senate or state negotiations are required.
Reducing pressure further, Roy Morgan research from January 2017 put the government well ahead in the latest opinion polls on 46% support compared to Labour (30%), the Greens (12%) and New Zealand First (9%).
The government surplus for the nine months ended 31 March 2017 was NZ$1.5b. Government debt, as a percentage of gross domestic profit, was just 24%, compared to 41% in Australia.
New Zealand is experiencing strong economic growth and budget surpluses.
New Zealand is booming. New car sales were up by a record 5.9% in the March 2017 quarter; retail sales were up by 2.6% in the same period; and new dwellings consents were up 10% in the year to 31 March 2016.
Here are three key issues Joyce must address in Budget 2017 with a New Zealand general election due just four months after the Budget is handed down.
Average house prices in Auckland, in which nearly more than a third of New Zealanders live, grew from NZ$829,000 in 2016 to NZ$956,000 in 2017. The housing price average for Auckland's North Shore is now NZ$1.269m, and for sought after Central Otago, in the South Island, that figure is now NZ$800,000.
New Zealand has no capital gains tax or stamp duty on housing sales. Despite this, first home buyers are finding it difficult, and in many cases impossible, to save the required deposit, let alone to service large mortgages.
Pressure on housing has been exacerbated by overseas investment and migrant numbers. Statistics New Zealand data for the year ended 31 March 2017 show that permanent arrivals were 129,500, up 5,400, with permanent departures of 57,600, yielding a net gain of 71,900. Large numbers of migrants settle in Auckland.
Goldman Sachs reported in May 2017 that New Zealand's housing market has a 40% chance of going bust in the next two years. The global investment bank noted that New Zealand's housing market is the most over-valued amongst the G-10 group of developed economies.
For Joyce, a self-made millionaire and former broadcaster with a reputation as a "Mr Fix It", innovative solutions in housing affordability may be the yardstick by which his budget is measured.
As a long, narrow country with a relatively low population of 4.7million, huge geographic and climate variation, and high annual tourist numbers (3.6million in 2016), New Zealand must constantly invest in infrastructure.
Key Budget 2017 challenges will include public transport, roads and bridges. There is still not a multilane motorway between Auckland and Wellington and no multilane highways in the South Island, apart from city ring roads and entry and exits. Some cities also lack world-class facilities to cater for rising tourist numbers.
Funding tourism facilities has become a major issue in the small towns of New Zealand where local councils have limited rating income possibilities, but huge tourist throughput.
One budget option to help reduce pressure on infrastructure, especially in Auckland, is regional relocation and settlement incentives for both migrants and locals.
Key Budget 2017 challenges will include public transport, roads and bridges.
Another infrastructure related area in which Kiwis would like to see increased spending is policing and crime prevention. Latest Statistics New Zealand data for the year ended 31 March 2017 showed significant annual increases in assault (9%), sexual assault (4.4%), robbery and related matters (15.4%) and unlawful entry (17.8%).
With a 10% bottom and 33% top rate for personal income tax, a universal 15% goods and services tax, and a flat company tax rate of 28%, New Zealand enjoys a well-balanced, albeit not perfect, tax system.
In terms of housing affordability, any change to property taxes would need to be such that landlords do not immediately increase rents to compensate for such taxes and/or reduce supply.

Arkansas PBS > Engage > Pressroom > AETN to host free season 6 preview screening for 'Downton Abbey' on 'Masterpiece'
AETN to host free season 6 preview screening for 'Downton Abbey' on 'Masterpiece'
The top-rated PBS drama of all time approaches its climactic chapter as 'Downton Abbey' enters its sixth and final season on 'Masterpiece,' bringing exciting closure to a remarkable series. The Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) will host a free season 6 preview screening at the Historic Arkansas Museum, 200 E 3rd Street, Little Rock, Saturday, Dec. 19, at 2 p.m.
The event will include a screening of the first hour of the final season of 'Downton Abbey' at 2 p.m., followed by tea time at 3 p.m., a period costume contest and door prizes. Costumes are strongly encouraged but not required. The event is free and open to the public, and anyone interested in attending should RSVP at aetn.org. Additional information is available by calling 501-324-9351.
Where will fate, passion, ambition and duty lead television's most beloved characters? Millions of devoted viewers will soon find out on 'Downton Abbey,' season 6, airing in nine enthralling episodes beginning Jan. 3 on 'Masterpiece.'
Having weathered the demise of a string of heirs, the horrors of World War I, the Spanish flu, false convictions and romantic betrayals, not to mention the compromising death of a Turkish diplomat in the throes of passion, 'Downton Abbey' is primed for new surprises in season 6. Season 6 opens in 1925 with a series of crises reflecting the momentous changes that are transforming society. Women's rights have given Lady Mary and Lady Edith new positions of responsibility: Mary runs the estate, and Edith manages the magazine she inherited from Michael Gregson. Meanwhile, Tom Branson has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Anna Bates faces a murder charge, though many still suspect her husband. And for the rest of the servants, big doubts hang over their jobs. Will great houses and the fortunes that support them soon be gone?
Making their bittersweet farewell are members of the beloved cast, including: Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt, Penelope Wilton, Phyllis Logan, Laura Carmichael, Brendan Coyle, Lesley Nicol, Sophie McShera, Robert James-Collier, Allen Leech, Kevin Doyle, Samantha Bond, David Robb, Raquel Cassidy and Michael Fox.
'We wanted to close the doors of 'Downton Abbey' when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together, and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans,' executive producer Gareth Neame said. 'We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up.'
Written and created by Julian Fellowes, 'Downton Abbey' is a Carnival Films/'Masterpiece' co-production. Carnival Films, headed by 'Downton Abbey' Executive Producer Gareth Neame, is a division of NBCUniversal International Television Studios. With 59 Emmy nominations, more than any other British show in Emmy history, 'Downton Abbey' is one of the most honored series on television, having captured 11 Emmys, three Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Producers Guild Award and three BAFTAs.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION. SEO IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR SITE TO GET FOUND AND USED.
If you are serious about your business then your site needs to get found online. To improve your sites "visibility" online there are numerous things you can do, many of which fall into the category of "Search Engine Optimisation" (SEO).
At Sync we have years of SEO experience and will not only make sure that you are doing everything possible to improve your SEO but help you understand what it is and how it all works.
So what is SEO and how does it help my site?
SEO is basically ensuring your site is optimised to be found in search engines, the basis of which is the content of your website. Making sure your content is well written and contains everything your users would want to read and find informative is essential. This is basically what search engines like Google are looking for.
That's where we start; we help you make sure that you have your site well structured for your content. There are a number of ways to approach writing your content but ultimately you are the best person to supply the information, after all, you know your business best! We can help in several ways including helping you structure your content. We also have copywriters that can either discuss and write content for you or proofread your content.
Now we have our content what's next?
Possibly one of the biggest parts of SEO, it's not magic, it's just making sure your content contains the words and phrases that your target audience is most likely to search for when looking for your services.
Should I write the content of my webpage for my users or for the search engines? Always write your content of your page for your users, after all they are the ones who will be reading it and it must appeal to. The required keyphrases should mostly be within the content if we've got the structure right and if they aren't then it won't take too much to advise you on how to add them in.
What are "long tail keyphrases"?
a keyword would be "Design"
a keyphrase would be "Design Company"
a long tail keyphrase would be "Design Company in Cambridge"
The title of the page: This is exactly what it says and should act as the title to the topic of the page or area of the site.
The Description of the page: Again, what it says, this should be the summary, or description, of the page and what it's about.
Keywords: Although these are said not be used by search engines they can be included and are just a list of the key words and phrases that the page should be found for.
"We could tell you where you're number one on Google rankings and give ourselves a pat on the back – we'd rather tell you where you're not number one and need to improve, giving you the advice and help on how to get there."
As we've described in our Social Media section Search Engine Optimisation has a strong link with Social Media and indeed there are some parts of a web page that can be added especially for certain Social Media (for example META DATA especially for Facebook).
So, understanding SEO and how it works will help you better optimise your social media channels.
If you'd like to talk to us about this just give us a call with any questions and we'll be happy to advise.
Once your site is properly optimised for the web we would always advise that you keep working on your SEO in order to monitor, assess and improve it. This helps to improve your rankings on search engines.
SEO Management – this is a plan devised bespoke to you which will help manage your SEO ongoing and advise on improvements.
SEO Reports – there's a wealth of analytics out there and we will devise a report bespoke for you and break it down into digestible sections reporting on how your site is doing in various areas including against your competitors.
Sync Creative is a Digital company based in Saffron Walden and therefore a lot of our SEO clients are based in Cambridge and surrounding areas. However, we help clients with their Search Engine Optimisation throughout the UK and advise on the various elements of SEO for international sites.
As an SEO company in Cambridge we have many successful clients around the Cambridge area and are SEO consultants to many more.

I let you know in the other article the type of dogs I use gathering wild cattle, spoiled cattle, cows and calves, or whatever is hard to pen. Light cattle, heifers or steers can be worked with dogs with less power, grit and bite. A dog that has a little outrun to it, has enough eye to steady it, some walk up strength, and will use their teeth a little, in most cases, can handle steers and heifers. You take these dogs that are a little softer to pen a bunch of of wild cows and calves, it's a very good chance you will be disappointed.
We all get caught up in what kind of dog we need, and get to thinking that's what everyone needs. It sure depends on what kind of livestock you are working. At one time, I thought if you were working one dog and needed more power, and put out another dog you would have two times the power; but after working dogs through the years, I have seen a lot of times when I turn a dog loose to help another, there will be three or four times the strength with two as there was with one. They stimulate each other and really turn on. If you are doing a job with one dog and lack a little having the strength to get it done, turn out another dog and there's a good chance you will be able to complete your job. This does not mean you can take 10 dogs with no power, guts, or bite and pen a set of ol'wild cows and calves that have never seen a dog before.
When I go to gather cattle and don't know for sure how tough they are going to be, I take my toughest dogs. I had rather have more power than I need than not enough. No matter how tough dogs are, if you have control of them, you can stop them, and have control on how much pressure is put on the cattle. After cattle are held up, they need the opportunity to move off pressure without being attacked every time they do.
It is really a lot of fun to watch a bunch of of cows and calves after the dogs get them held up and have the dogs down on the back side. There will be an ol'cow go out to whip the dogs, they meet her head on and she is the one that gets the whipping. As soon as she turns back to the herd, down the dogs and let her move away from the pressure. Then, some of the other cattle will try with the same results. The cattle keep trying this until they give up.
Then, you will see a cow look back at the dogs and take one step away from them to see if she can get away with it, then she will try two steps and the other cattle start trying the same. Before long, the cattle are moving off the dogs. When the cattle first start moving off pressure, keep the dogs down until the cattle get several yards away from them, then walk the dogs in behind the cattle. As soon as any of the cattle start looking back and worrying about the pressure, down the dogs and let the cattle keep moving away from them. Repeat the walking up and downing the dogs until the cattle quit worrying about the dog. Ride ahead of the cattle and let the dogs fetch them to the pens.
Dry cows will dog break and move off the dogs a lot faster than cows with calves, and heifers easier than dry cows. When cows need dog breaking, if possible, wait until you wean the calves off them. Dog break your keeping heifers every year, and use your dogs when you are teaching the heifers to come to feed. When you find some of these heifers in the pasture, send the dog to fetch them to your pickup, and as they do, start honking the horn to teach the heifers to come to the horn. As they approach, string the feed out on the ground, fetch them on to the feed. Let the dogs do this each time you feed until the heifers learn to come to the honking horn and feed.
A lot of people don't want their dogs barking. I agree that is great in open country where you can see what's going on, but in thick trees and underbrush where you can't stay up with the action when the dogs are trying to shut down a bunch of wild cows, they better bark a little or you won't have a clue where they are. Some of my dogs bark while fighting the cows' heads and trying to shut them down. When my dogs stop barking, and I can't hear them, I know there are one of two things going on. They either have them held up and there's no fighting going on, or they are fetching them to me. My dogs do not bark unless they are fighting to keep the cattle from running away.
Good dogs are like good horses – they need to be worked a lot. They need a regular job to become a top dog. You can't take them out of their pen once every two or three months, and expect them to be top dogs, I really enjoy using dogs to get my work done. You know, I have never had a dog ask me for a raise, and I have never had one to quit their job and move away because I called them a bad name!

Prior to we do anything we have a look at exactly what damages have been done and how best to restore them. We will make an honest recommendation based on for how long the carpets have been wet and how the damage was created.
