Kidney stones (also called renal stones or urinary stones) are small, hard deposits that form in one or both kidneys; the stones are made up of minerals or other compounds found in urine. Kidney stones vary in size, shape, and color. To be cleared from the body (or "passed"), the stones need to travel through ducts that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters) and be excreted. Depending on their size, kidney stones generally take days to weeks to pass out of the body.
Kidney stones can cause abdominal or back pain (known as renal colic). Renal colic usually begins sporadically but then becomes constant and can lead to nausea and vomiting. The site of pain can change as the stone moves through the urinary tract. Some small stones pass through the kidney and urinary tract with little discomfort, while larger ones can block the flow of urine and impair kidney function. Kidney stones can also result in blood in the urine (hematuria) or kidney or urinary tract infections. Unusually large stones or stones that are difficult to pass can be medically removed.
Although there are many types of kidney stones, four main types are classified by the material they are made of. Up to 75 percent of all kidney stones are composed primarily of calcium. Stones can also be made up of uric acid (a normal waste product), cystine (a protein building block), or struvite (a phosphate mineral). Stones form when there is more of the compound in the urine than can be dissolved. This imbalance can occur when there is an increased amount of the material in the urine, a reduced amount of liquid urine, or a combination of both.
People are most likely to develop kidney stones between ages 40 and 60, though the stones can appear at any age. Research shows that 35 to 50 percent of people who have one kidney stone will develop additional stones, usually within 10 years of the first stone.
In the United States, 9 percent of women and 19 percent of men develop kidney stones in their lifetime. Caucasians are more likely to develop kidney stones than African Americans.
In most cases, kidney stones occur without any other health issues. However, some people develop kidney stones as part of another condition. About half of people who develop calcium stones have high levels of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria). Hypercalciuria often runs in families. Some other health conditions that increase the risk of kidney stones include obesity, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease (abnormal inflammation of the intestinal walls), gout (abnormal inflammation in the joints caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood), hyperparathyroidism (overactivity of the parathyroid glands), renal tubular acidosis (kidney dysfunction that leads to too much acid in the blood), and recurrent urinary tract infections.
The inheritance pattern of kidney stones is unclear. Overall, the risk of developing this condition is greater for individuals who have a close relative (such as a parent or sibling) with the condition as compared to the general public.

Today I have been discussing a renovation project. It is amazing how quickly commercial properties can age. The project in question was last commissioned more than 15 years ago but when visiting the premises today I was struck by how much our (lighting) technology has progressed. Over the years the maintenance engineers had obviously done their best to go with the times by replacing light bulbs with more modern (CFL) versions, but it was more a “patch up” job rather than a well thought lighting improvement. Some light sources looked definitely at odds with their housing (obviously as they were not originally designed for it)… I am sure you know what I am talking about…The now planned (total) renovation offers several great opportunities in terms of lighting, namely: Get rid of all out-dated and energy consuming light sources, redesign and re-configure the lighting in line with the latest technologies in combination with state of the art lighting controls to minimise the carbon footprint and reduce maintenance to an absolute minimum.
The risk with the so called state of the art technologies is that designers often tend to over-sophisticate things with as result an installation too complex to operate for the average Joe. Operation of lights should be simple and straight forward and there lies the challenge for the lighting designer. The technology may be high-tech, but its operation should be simple and easy to understand.
Most of all as the renovation is total, the lighting designer has a great opportunity to engage with the lead architect/ interior designer to integrate the lighting design as part of an overall concept right from the start and create a balance of brightness and interaction with the space that makes you appreciate the space right from the moment you enter it.
Today’s Light Watch is an example of both a renovation as well as a heritage project worth paying a visit to. Originally built more than 100 years ago by the Sarkies brothers Raffles Hotel is a cultural heritage icon. Also from the Sarkies brothers and the same time are the E&O Hotel in Penang, The Majapahit Hotel in Surabaya and the Strand in Yangon.

The Cockeysville center point is around 2 miles north of Timonium Fairgrounds Lacrosse Fields and 4 miles north of Goucher College.
Cockeysville is a very old town and can trace its roots all the way back to Thomas Cockey, who was born in 1676 and settled in what is now Cockeysville in 1725. The town has several historically significant landmarks that have been left by notable residents as well as historical events. Some of the buildings in the area, for example, were used during the Civil War when Confederate forces pushed north of Baltimore to try and cut off the Union's capital.
Aside from its rich history, here are several reasons why you should visit this great city.
Maryland has four moderate seasons, but spring and fall are the best times to visit. The summers can be very humid because of the nearby reservoir, and the winters can be very windy. The intense wind during the winter makes the relatively modest cold feel like a polar chill. It snows occasionally in the winter, and some of the local parks will be open less often during the colder and shorter winter days since they're only open from sunrise to sunset. Fall is a fantastic time of year to visit, however, with the changing leaves filling trails and parks with warm autumn colors.
Below are 3 charts displaying average price trends by star rating class in Cockeysville, MD. Analyze these illustrations to determine the most cost effective time to stay in Cockeysville throughout the year.
The luxury offerings in Cockeysville are located in Hunt Valley. If you're looking to stay in style with a familiar name, book your stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton. Their traditional suite is chock-full of features, including a kitchenette and a living room with a pull-out couch. The rooms even have two flat-screen TVs, and some suites have a Keurig coffee maker.
The Embassy Suites also has an indoor pool, whirlpool, exercise room, a 24-hour business center, and a 6000 square-foot conference room. The hotel even has a bar and restaurant that not only serves complimentary breakfast but also hosts an evening reception with appetizers and drinks.
For people looking for a bed and breakfast experience, look no further than the Gramercy Mansion. This historic mansion was built in 1902 by the owner of the Pennsylvania Railroad and was given as a wedding present to his daughter. In the 1950s, the building became the headquarters of what was at the time called the Koinonia Foundation. This humanitarian organization would later become the Peace Corps and change its location.
After the Peace Corps changed its headquarters, the building became one of the nicest bed and breakfasts on the East Coast. The Gramercy Mansion has the highest rating of any hotel in Cockeysville and will make you feel right at home.
Because Cockeysville is a hidden gem, finding a hotel on a budget is easy. One of the most affordable hotels is the Ramada Limited, which is conveniently located just off of I-83 and provides easy access to Baltimore and the Maryland State Fairgrounds. Depending on traffic, the drive into the city can take between 20 and 45 minutes, so try to plan accordingly if you are trying to go into Baltimore or Washington, D.C. In addition to its great location, the Ramada offers its visitors free WiFi, complimentary breakfast, and an outdoor pool.
The Extended Stay America is located near the Ramada, and is also one of the best budget options available in Cockeysville. This option lacks the outdoor pool that the Ramada boasts, but has slightly nicer rooms and also offers free WiFi and breakfast. The Extended Stay America also has a laundry service available. It also sits a mile or so closer to both Baltimore and the interstate, making it a more convenient location for people looking to go into one of the nearby cities to the south.
If you get a thrill from saving money, you'll be excited to hear that there are several hotels in Cockeysville that offer discounts during certain times of the year. The Holiday Inn Express, for example, often offers potential guests deep discounts if they aren't entirely booked. This hotel has an excellent location. It's only 3 minutes off Interstate 83 and within walking distance of a shopping center with a variety of restaurants and shops. It's also only a short drive from Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Also off of Interstate 83, about 5 minutes closer to the city, is the Radisson Hotel, which often features discounts from 5 to 15 percent. This hotel is ideal for those traveling for business, as it is outfitted with every amenity a business person could need, including a 24-hour fitness center, a bar, two ballrooms, and 17 meeting rooms. The rooms are spacious and have free WiFi, coffeemakers, and desks in every room.
The Red Roof Plus in Cockeysville is already a very affordable hotel even without any discount, but depending on how full they are and how far in advance you're making your booking, you can often find additional discounts. With the discount, this is the most budget-friendly hotel in the area and offers guests an affordable stay in a decent hotel. The rooms are all non-smoking and pet-friendly, and some rooms come with a kitchenette. The hotel is also in a relatively central location, with easy access to both Baltimore and Loch Raven.
Some people aim to get the most bang for their buck, and there are plenty of hotels in Cockeysville that offer just that. Delta Hotels offers a 3-star hotel nearby to the Embassy Suites. Although it doesn't offer all of the amenities that the Embassy Suites has, it does have an indoor and outdoor pool, so you can take a relaxing dip no matter what time of year you visit. The Delta also sits on a 17-acre property that creates a tranquil atmosphere both in and around the hotel grounds.
Probably the highest value option in Cockeysville is the Quality Suites. This 3-star hotel is priced like some of the budget options mentioned earlier but offers spacious, smoke-free rooms, laundry service, and has access to an outdoor pool and a basketball court. Although the Quality Suites offers all of these great features, the rooms are priced affordably because the hotel is far from the interstate and is isolated from most of the cities and other hotels in the area. It is, on the other hand, closer to many of the parks and reservoirs in the area, so if you plan on hiking or spending time outdoors, this hotel is perfect for you.
Cockeysville is a great destination for people who love the great outdoors. The area is dotted with numerous parks, trails, and Loch Raven, a beautiful reservoir. Loch Raven provides water for most of the county as well as the city of Baltimore. Interestingly enough, the reservoir was made by a dam originally built in 1881, which was then expanded in 1914. The lake offers scenic walks and also has paddle boats for rent, so you can go out on the water and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
For those looking for a much longer walk, the NCR trail might be a good option. This trail is more than 40 miles long and extends well into the neighboring state of Pennsylvania. It runs alongside the Gunpowder River, which feeds the Loch Raven Reservoir. The trail offers access to the river and is perfect for those looking to do some fishing. You can also ride through the park on horseback.
The area also has a number of regional and state parks, one of which is the Oregon Ridge Park. With over a thousand acres of woods and trails, Oregon Ridge Park has plenty of space to wander. The park is also known for its Fourth of July celebration, which features not only a classic fireworks display, but the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra comes to play for the park's visitors each year.
The park is located on the grounds of an old iron quarry and a marble quarry, both of which can still be seen. The deep quarries are flooded with water and give the illusion that they extend down to almost infinite depths.
No matter what kind of activities you would like to do on your trip, Cockeysville probably has it. If you want to get a taste of the big city, Baltimore and Washington D.C. are both no more than an hour away and offer some of the world's best tourist destinations. However, if you are tempted to stay within the bounds of Cockeysville, there are plenty of options to explore the area's wilderness. From beautiful parks to the nation's capital, Cockeysville truly has it all.

Many developing nations still suffer from a lack of clean drinking water but an invention in 1978 lessened this problem to some degree.
Professors Alan Plumtree and Alfred Rudin designed a hand operated water pump at the University of Waterloo, called the Waterloo Pump. The project was requested of them by the International Development Research Centre and it took only six months to design.
They got their inspiration from the Mennonites of southwestern Ontario and the simplicity of the pumps they used in their communities. Plumtree and Rudin sought to create a pump that was versatile, intuitive and easily repaired.
The Waterloo Pump simulated a piston much like that of a combustion engine. Standard pumps at the time were made of steel or iron, which is rather expensive to smelt. These pumps would rust easily and break down within a year. Given how complex the machinery is they’re really difficult and expensive to repair as well.
Plumtree and Rodin’s solution to these problems was to substitute metal for plastic, especially since many developing countries have very few steel foundries. Molding technology, however, is common and relatively inexpensive. So the team settled on the use of polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastic since it’s inexpensive, non-corrosive and could easily be produced within the country that needs the pump.
The simple design also meant it’s easy to fix and parts can be glued together rather than welded. Some countries found ways to circumvent the need for certain new parts. While standard metal pumps can last up to a year without a repair the Waterloo Pump has a lifespan of eight years.
The Waterloo Pump not only remains relevant but is also still being iterated on. The most popular of these redesigns is the UNIMADE model, created by the University of Malaya, and is used in 13 countries.

Do you experience sleepless nights? Is this occurring often enough that it affects your daily life? If so, it’s time to solve the problem. In this article, you will find some advice to help you achieve better sleep.
TIP! If you’re having trouble getting to sleep at night, you may benefit from a brief massage administered by a spouse, significant other, or friend. It will help you relax and prepare for sleep.
If you have insomnia, think about getting a firmer mattress. A soft sleeping surface does not give your body the support it needs. This may cause your body to stress and that can make your insomnia really bad! Spend a little money and get a mattress you can rely on.
Develop a routine for sleep. When you accustom yourself to a sleep routine, your body will soon adjust. On the flip side, if you are trying to sleep at random times, you may be making your insomnia worse in the long run.
If you have tried your best to better your sleep and still struggle with insomnia, you might need a prescription sleep medication. Ask your doctor about the medications available and which one is best for you.
Set your alarm to wake you up a few minutes before your regular time. An additional half hour or so of wake time may be enough to tire you enough so that you can sleep at night. Keep track of the amount that works best, and stick with it to get the best sleep possible.
TIP! If you have tried everything you can to defeat insomnia to no avail, you may need to take a sleep aid. Your doctor can discuss the pros and cons with you.
Create a soothing ritual at bedtime to help you cope with insomnia. Many sleep studies have shown that rituals can help give your body and mind cues that it is time for bed. As you are going through your rituals, you should start feeling sleepy, making insomnia disappear altogether.
Aromatherapy is a pleasant, natural means of easing the effects of insomnia. Buy scented candles and potpourri and place these things by your bed. Aromatherapy can eliminate your insomnia while relieving stress. Lavender is a good scent to try when you need sleep.
TIP! If insomnia is a frequent issue for you, establish a regular bedtime routine. Sleep experts agree that the rituals will give your mind and body different cues that it’s time to go to sleep.
If you find you are troubled by insomnia, try to keep a journal of your thoughts before bedtime. Keep a note of all the things you do before heading off to bed. The journal may help identify the thoughts or activities that prevent you from sleeping well. Once you have identified the culprit stealing your sleep, you can deal with it.
Use a hot water bottle while in bed. The heat will help relax your body. This could be the simple cure you need for your insomnia. Place the water bottle on top of your abdomen. Allow the heat to transfer through the body while you take deep breaths.
Keep that bedroom as quiet as can be and dark. Even regular lighting is something that can make it hard for the body to get rest. Control whatever noise in the area that you can. If there are noises out of your control, consider earplugs or playing ambient noise tapes.
No one likes to be tired and unhappy in the morning from not sleeping. To make things better, you must know your options. You should be ready to sleep every night and have lots of energy through the day.

At precisely 9:47 am on Saturday Mr. Occasionally Fashionable suggested we stay the night in San Francisco. Approximately two hours later, I had five people showered, dressed, and packed for a last minute overnight adventure. And, about two hours after we got in the car and one well napped baby later we arrived in the city. We promptly checked in, dropped off our luggage, and then hit the streets. First up was Fisherman’s Warf and Pier 39. The kids couldn’t get enough of it! We then strolled around, hiked some “cement mountains” aka steep streets to check out Lombard street, watched the sunset, leisurely strolled back to our spot for the night, showered, cuddled during a movie, and slept ridiculously well for not being at home.
The next day we woke early and did the the mad dash to get us all dressed and to breakfast before the kiddos broke down in hanger. And, by kiddos I am including myself! Mama is a eat the minute she wakes up kind of Mama. After satisfying our tummies we pack up our things and headed off to our friend’s apartment for a surprise visit. It’s not often our schedules match up, so I was pleasantly surprised to find they were in the city at the same time as us. We all went for coffee and tea, and a leisurely stroll around The Academy of Fine Arts. All the kids wanted to do was “scooter” through San Francisco. I’m so happy our friends knew a safe route so our kids could fulfill their dreams. Watching them zoom down the sidewalk and back was the cutest thing ever. They were sure living it up!
I have to say that when first broached with the subject to skip town all I could think about was what I needed to get done around the house. Laundry needed to be put away. Toys needed to be purged and organized to find room for all the Christmas loot. My closet was in desperate need of some attention and color coding. Backpacks and school supplies needed to be prepped to return for winter break. My car needed to be emptied. But, hold the phone. Total moment right there. I mean live life and create memories or make sure my never ending to-do list is accomplished. Yeah. If it’s never ending, which hello mom life is, of course it can’t be accomplished. Light bulb!
I am so glad we prioritized right. And, I am totally stoked to have a husband that constantly reminds me of what is truly important. Chores can wait, children can’t. Love him. Love us. Love the kids. Love it all. So many prayers of gratitude going up right now. Life is so, so good, and we are beyond blessed. I am so very happy for this reminder right before we head back from winter break. Sometimes with hectic schedules the reason we do it all and the importance of it can get lost. Feeling like this spontaneous adventure really helped spark a light in me to continuously chase memories with these people I love so much and so much thankfulness for the opportunity to do so.
*The baby didn’t care at all about the sea lions. He was just plotting how to get into the water.
*Adore this curb appeal. I mean, my color scheme for sure!
* He is literally forever climbing everything.
* Little baby. Big Column.

We know. Dogs are sometimes irresistibly adorable at the same time that they’re hungry and looking to get some scraps from the table of their human counterparts.
It’s okay to drop your furry friend a bone every once in awhile, but did you know that some of your human foods are toxic to dogs and could potentially cripple or kill them?
If you love your dog and you want to continue to have some sneaky feeding sessions in between dinner without fearing that you’re poisoning it, here are 10 toxic foods you should passionately avoid feeding your dog ever. Be sure to let your dog sitter know as well!
Have a sweet tooth? You might be into Chocolate. Question is, when your dog is there looking at you with those big ol’ eyes, can you afford to offer some to it? Answer is: By no circumstance, absolutely NOT.
What’s in Chocolate that’s bad for dogs?
Chocolate typically contains caffeine and a chemical, theobromine that is very harmful to dogs of all breeds. A rule of thumb is to note that: the darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to dogs. And no, it’s not something your dog can ‘walk away’ as you run those extra rounds to burn off the extra calories.
What does Chocolate do to your dog?
It’ll wreak havoc on your poor pet’s digestive system because their systems aren’t made to digest chocolate. In small doses, chocolate can cause diarrhea and excessive vomiting. In more severe cases, you can expect chocolate to invoke more dire consequences such as: hyperactivity, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest and even the death of your precious furry friend.
So by all means, please avoid this sweet, but deadly snack. If you’re leaving your pet at a dog daycare, just be sure that kids aren’t leaving chocolate lying around.
We generally know macadamia nuts to be high in protein and all around a delicious and healthy snack for humans. To dogs however, this small little munchy is to be avoided at all costs.
What’s in Macadamia Nuts that’s bad for dogs?
Macadamia nuts contain a toxin that can cause a toxic reaction to dogs. Till date however, this specific chemical has yet to be identified. Nonetheless, you’d do well to steer clear of this for your pet.
What do Macadamia nuts do to your dog?
Dogs will tend to develop crippling weakness where they find difficulty in locomotory functions like walking. They might also have more overt symptoms like vomiting, depression, staggering gait, hypothermia and tremors. Feeding your dog macadamia coupled with chocolates (as they are sometimes sold coated with chocolate) will almost definitely exacerbate symptoms and possibly cause death.
Got milk? I know what you must be thinking, is milk – a dairy product that we feed human babies and generally mammals really dangerous to dogs? Remember how you sometimes get that woozy feeling after drinking too much milk, too quickly? That’s known as lactose intolerance and dogs are extremely lactose intolerant.
What’s in Milk that’s bad for dogs?
Milk contains milk sugars that the digestive system of dogs don’t have the enzymes to adequately break down. As a result it’ll cause them extreme discomfort versus a human being.
What does Milk do to your dog?
Milk and or milk-based products can cause discomfort in the digestive system such as diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal problems. While it does not immediately cause death, it can contribute to a weakened immune system and serious bacterial exposure that can eventually lead to disease. Indirectly, milk can cause long-term discomfort and make your dog less healthy and resilient to ailments.
We like our wine and we love our grapes. Unfortunately, grapes and raising sit in a similar category to that of macadamia nuts where the foods contain substances that a dog’s digestive system can’t deal with.
What’s in Grapes that’s bad for dogs?
It’s currently still unknown what chemicals, compounds or substances exist in grapes that make it toxic to dogs in general. However, we do know them to cause negative effects and symptoms.
What do Grapes do to your dog?
Even small amounts of grapes and raisins fed to dogs are known to cause rapid kidney failure. Repeated vomiting and diarrhea is something that occurs shortly after consumption which then lead dogs into a lethargic and depressed state. Dogs will become dehydrated and neglect to eat because of a lack of appetite. These symptoms culminated together can potentially cause death from kidney failure in three to four days.
Unless you’ve had your dog boarding in a vineyard, you probably just need to avoid buying and leaving grapes around the house.
Onions are great as seasoning when we cook, but be assured that they will do more than just make your dog shed tears. Similarly to garlic, these can be potentially life-threatening even though your dogs aren’t vampires.
What’s in Onions and Garlic that’s bad for dogs?
These contain disulfides and sulfoxides that can be harmful to dogs. Garlic in particular is more potent than onion and can be more dangerous to dogs than onions per ounce. Both contain these compounds that are very toxic to dogs.
What do Onions and Garlic do to your dog?
These foods cause damage to red blood cells in your dogs but the symptoms aren’t always immediately visible. Instead, these are slow acting poisons that might affect your dog’s urine color and make them tired and reluctant to move after a couple of days. In severe cases, having a blood transfusion is the way to go to alleviate your dog’s ailment. If you can however, it would be best to avoid the food altogether.
Avocado toast might be all the rage right now, but that bit of guacamole that ends up in your dog’s tummy could turn its world upside down.
What’s in Avocados that’s bad for dogs?
Almost all parts of the avocado contains a toxin called persin that can have a toxic effect on dogs. This toxin is in the leaves, seed, bark, as well as in the fruit.
What do Avocados do to your dog?
Avocados can upset a dog’s stomach, cause difficulties in breathing and fluid build-up in the chest. The avocado’s pit is considered to be the most dangerous as dogs tend to swallow it due to its slippery nature. This can lead to obstruction in their gastrointestinal tract.
It’s okay to feed most dogs the apple fruit. However, you need to be careful to avoid feeding them the core of the apple.
What’s in Apple cores that are bad for dogs?
Besides apples, other similar fruits like plums, peaches, pears and apricots contain cyanogenic glycosides (also known as cyanide) that can be toxic to dogs.
What do Apple Cores do to your dog?
Some symptoms that arise from consuming cyanide are respiratory difficulties, dizziness, seizures, hyperventilation, shock and possibly even a coma. Since we humans already avoid eating Apple Cores, just make sure you don’t leave any lying around for your pooch to get their paws on.
No this is not a drill. It’s fine to feed your dog meats like chicken and pork generally, but it’s not okay to feed them bacon. In fact, it’s very detrimental to its health.
What’s in Bacon that’s bad for dogs?
Bacon is excessively rich in fat. For dogs, this can leave them to eventually develop pancreatitis. Once dogs develop this disease, their pancreas’ gets inflamed and tends to cease regular function.
What does Bacon do to your dog?
With the onset of eventual pancreatitis, you can expect your dog to develop further problems with digestion and nutrient absorption, all because of that guilty treat you slipped to it under the table during dinner.
Trying to take the edge off your long day and perk yourself up for the remainder? A sip of coffee usually does the trick, just don’t try to share any with your dog.
What’s in Coffee that’s bad for dogs?
Coffee is a source of caffeine, which in a large enough quantity (at concentrations of 150 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of weight) can be fatal to your dog. Worse, there is no cure or fix, the best your vet can do is induce vomiting. Caffeine is naturally occurring in tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate and stimulant drinks.
What does Coffee do to your dog?
Dogs that consume caffeine may have an increased heart rate and become overly hyperactive. It also raises their blood pressure and can be dangerous. Dogs with too much caffeine can run a fever and become weak. In some cases, they even die.
When taking your dog for a walk, try to keep an eye on it when you move past any wild mushrooms. These things can kill almost instantly if you’re not careful.
What’s in Wild Mushrooms that’s bad for dogs?
There are numerous kinds of wild mushrooms so it’s hard to generalize on what kinds of toxins are in each. Many mushrooms can contain more than a single poisonous substance and the toxicity can depend on how healthy your dog is currently. It’s safe to say that the poisonous wild mushrooms outnumber the non-toxic ones.
What do Wild Mushrooms do to your dog?
Depending on which mushroom your dog consumes, it can experience excessive drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma and possibly even death. It’s safe to say that since we don’t go around trying to eat every mushroom we see in the field, you should try to ensure your precious pet does the same.
As a dog owner, it’s difficult enough to take your pets for health checks, dog walks and finding dog sitters when you go on holiday. To make life easier, just refer to this list when in doubt of whether you can feed your dog your favourite snack.

Overwatch League scrims put the Overwatch community in fits Saturday, as fans were disappointed to see the league's players goof off during show matches rather than play their hardest.
The offending show matches were the first component of an event called the Community Countdown scheduled to bring a preview of Overwatch League Season 2 competition. Each day until the start of the season would have teams facing off either in standard scrimmages or with special rules.
Instead of taking the preseason games seriously, teams chose to run joke compositions such as all-DPS. Players rarely played their usual positions, leading to sloppy gameplay far below the usual Overwatch League standard.
The teams' lackadaisical approach split the community. Some, such as Overwatch League caster Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles, defended their decision to hide their strategies for prime time. Others, including league commissioner Nate Nanzer, called the play a disappointing.
"You the fans are why we do this and why we have jobs," Nanzer wrote on Twitter. "Sorry to let you down today."
Nanzer also announced that, moving forward, the rest of the show matches will be played with Mystery Heroes rather than standard Overwatch League rules.
The Overwatch Community Countdown continues Sunday beginning with scrims at 3 p.m. ET.

When choosing a company to provide you with translation and interpretation services, it can be challenging to choose the best one.
For most non-linguists, deciding on the best translation service can be exasperating.
If you have been having trouble deciding which translation and transportation company to hire, here are some useful tips.
First, perform an audit of your preferences. What kind of services do you need? Do you need an interpreter to come quickly to your business? Perhaps you need a translator to take care of your legal documents?
When you know exactly what you need, it’s easier to make your choice.
Take your time to decide on your preferred type of service. It will turn out to be less expensive and you will be happier with the work you paid for.
After you decide on the exact service you need, think of what your company may need in the future. Often, a customer will email us for a one-time translation. But they need our services again in the near future when they have to localize their corporate website.
Proper planning ensures you that choose a suitable company that can service your needs even when you expand.
It’s always better to hire a professional business-to-business language service. You can be assured that an expert linguist can translate much better with their experience. A bilingual co-worker or relative doesn’t have the required skills and technical knowledge to do the job as well.
With this in mind, beware of companies that do not provide professionally experienced linguists.
Professional interpreters and translators receive advanced education and training in industry guidelines. Training can include dialect specialization, HIPAA privateness rules and dialectical variations.
Simply understanding a language does not mean an individual is able to perform all the required duties required. Professional linguists are bilingual and proficient at their specific languages on a 100% native level.
It’s important to know that interpretation and translation are different.
A translator translates word-for-word, meaning-by-meaning in one language to another.
An interpreter listens to a loudspeaker and then verbally changes what is said to the audience.
The condition that an individual suffers from will determine the most suitable transportation.
There are various kinds of medical transportation services for emergency and non-emergency situations. A professional transportation company provides a number of these services.
As with any other services, make sure you do your research into the company. Get references or testimonials.
A reputable company will have no problem showing you their references or testimonials from their clients.
Also, verify the recruitment procedure for each company. Are their linguists qualified? What kinds of criminal background checks and training do they do?
Again, an established company will have no problem sharing this information with you.
Document translation and website localization tasks can involve multiple individuals or teams. Ensure that the company you choose is familiar with project management.
Learn how the company assigns each task internally. Ask them about their timeline and workflow so you know what to expect.
Your translators and interpreters must be familiar with their tasks.
If you are sure about the type of work you want done, don’t be afraid to communicate it. Give proper instructions and clear guidelines on how they should proceed with the work to prevent problems.
Be concrete and specific. As you might have noticed, almost all of these tips are related to the communication between you and your team of translators.
You will get the best results from growing an ongoing business relationship with a translator or team of translators. The longer you use them and the better they understand your business, strategy and products, the far better their service will be.
Since 2003, Lighthouse Translations has provided clients with effective translation and interpretation services. Our clients come from all backgrounds and all around the world.
Lighthouse Translations was created to provide quality file translations to international companies and interpretation services. We cater for conferences, appointment and training to a huge multicultural network of clients.

I love sangria berry, this is my favorate, this recipe exactly i need for day, a sweet recipe for my health. Thank for shareing this, Jessica!
Do you think I could use white sangria?
At least you have the dignity to use a spoon–I’d go at this with my fingers! So sorry to hear about the mess. What a royal pain, but at least you had this dessert to help you recover!
Oh noooooo. That sounds horrific. I have never tried to lean a tile against anything because I am terrified that will happen. Although that does happen with foam boards all the time and they always fall into a glorious pool of like tomato sauce or something that will stain/ruin it forever.
Yikes!! Glad that you didn’t get hurt!! That brings new meaning to working hard to get the perfect picture :) This looks perfectly boozy and delicious! Love all of the red white and blue!!
I’m a crumble picker, too. It must be so annoying to live with us! This looks amazing. I’m definitely craving sangria now.
Crumble is the best, and so is wine soaked fruit.
I feel those kinds of things always happen to me when I’m photographing food. They make me feel like such a mess. Glad I’m not the only one! And yet these photos are still gorgeous!
I never thought of a boozy crumble before…but now that I see this I want it for breakfast!
Soaking a crumble’s fruit in sangria is only like the best idea ever.
Oh my word! That sounds like one awful spill. And I thought spilling chia seeds was bad… ;) This is gorgeous!! Love the sangria twist!
I totally wrote it in the that voice of course.
Oh my goodness at the tile accident! But this crumble looks to die for!
Such good looking dessert! Yesterday I made banana bread and yes you are so right, it was like gone 2 hours later!
Do you think the alcohol would cook out of this dish or would it still be pretty boozy? Just wondering if I should serve this to a pregnant friend or not? Let me know what you think. Looks delish!
I’m pretty sure it’s okay and cooks out – if you’re worried though you can used a little less alcohol or use orange and lime juice??
anthropologie! unfortunately it’s a year or two old though. and yes, extra booze.
Ok this plus that ricotta pizza you shared last week = the only way to properly welcome summer!
Oh my goodness, this is so delicious!!
Oh my goodness, this looks so delicious! Definitely must try it.
Great twist on a fruit crumble! I’d be drowning my sorrows in some of this stuff if the tile thingy happened to me too. Blerg!
This is utterly, fantastically, amazingly (I don’t know how many more adjectives I can use) BRILLIANT!!
This recipe is a beauty! I make a peach ginger sangria each year. Now I’m thinking I could turn that into a crumble!! Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ve made lots of berry crumbles before but never with booze! LOVE it.
Oh girl, you had me at sangria!!
Oh my gosh sangria with crumble?! Basically an ingenious marriage of two of the best things in life. And so sorry about the accident, I hope you at least could get the wine out of the baseboards!
Ummmmmmm THIS SOUNDS FREAKING AMAZING.
Your brain is filled with lovelies.
sangria berry crumble. genius. there is nothing left to say, except that i need this in my life. thank you.
I am a crumble lover too! I just have to say yikes about the tile!!!
This looks absolutely delish! We can’t wait to try it out! It would be a nice thing to bring to Sunday Brunch! But it might not make it till then, if it tastes as good as it looks!
Wonderful recipe. The direction seems to be very easy and quick. I will try this dish on this Sunday and would first serve to my Mom and Dad. I like to make something new every Sunday. I got new and perfect recipe for my family. Thanks.
Hooray for Boozy recipes! Loving this one and all he shots!
What kind of oats? quick cooking, non-quick cooking, steel cut? I’m assuming quick cooking but I’m usually wrong about these things.
I’m not a big fan of wine or beer, but sangria, now that’a a totally different story altogether! I recall once, many years ago, as a student in England, there was this big international students festival and there was an unofficial competition between Spain and Portugal about which country makes the best Sangria… I’m not sure but I think I liked the Portuguese sangria… Or was it really the Portuguese cute guy in a red sweater that was serving the sangria that I liked? ;) At any rate, this berry crumble looks delicious. Sorry to hear about the glasses!
Everything about this crisp makes it mandatory to be in my mouth. It’s screaming summer all over!
this just sounds like one of the best things, ever.
Berry crumble is my favorite summer desert! Adding this desert to my list to make this weekend!

i wanted to buy this gpu but i taught it wont be good enough for next year because i want to play quantom break ,what should i do ? is r7 360 enough for another year at 720?
At what res are you playing? Better save money and buy gtx 960 or similiar.
I bought this gpu when it was launched within a year I start suffering from low vram and fps problems better to save money for gtx1060 or RX480 both of this will be monster for 1366x768 gamers and also future proof.
There are few games such as Unity where You suffer from low vram,but windows 10 fixed those issules cause of WDDM 2.0.However i recommend going up to gtx 960 or r9 380 its more future proof.
But I can't get constant fps, fps keeps on fluctuations while playing Assassin Creeds black flag, WATCH_DOGS or even with black list on 720p ultra.
I had no problems with black flag & watch dogs at all,black flag i played at max at my resolution and had 25+ fps while on watch dogs everything on high and AA enabled,i had solid 35 fps.
hi , does it bottleneck with my rig? is it good for 1024*1280? for new released games? like just cause or tomb rider or witcher , my monitor is 17 inches and i am playing gta v in medium 50 fps so this card in my pc and monitor is good ?
thanks, i am ok with 720 i dont want to play at 1080p but now i am playing farcry 4 in lowest resoloution and concerned about that may be in some games i should decrease resoloution too but i am ok even with low setting in some games.so ok?
my mother board -gigabyte ga-h55m.can i run this card?
Will this gpu be enough to process Black Ops 3?
I guess yes, Black Ops 3 is that COD fps, right?
Ok thanks and yes it's the newest upcoming COD.
Will this card bottlenecked with my system?
Can 4GB RAM solve the problem?
Did this card work well with your CPU?
CPU bottlenecks gpu, from GPU's recommended cpu it lowers fps around 20-25 with same settings.
i dont recommend pairinng your cpu with this gpu, better save a little more for an i5 4 or 5 generation, a new motherboard and 8gb ddr3 ram and then buy a gtx 960 or a gtx 950 in a few months.
Can I put this in Optiplex 740, I am just asking can it fit in case. I really need to upgrade my GPU, if only if you see what GPU I have will tell you the reason, and this is perfect for it.
Sure, I can, That in GPU slot is just adapter, I can remove adapter and take another pictures without it.
And how much it is from slot to side panel?
Around 14,5 cm. maybe bit more but not much.

In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese were faced with a dilemma: what to do with the billions in loot taken from Southeast Asia. According to some accounts, faced with US naval dominance in the Pacific, the Japanese could not return the gold, gems, and other valuables to the homeland. Instead the loot was assigned to General Tomoyuki Yamashita to be hidden in the vast and virtually impenetrable jungles of the Philippines. Thus began the legend of Yamashita’s gold.
Adventurers and treasure hunters have been seeking it ever since.
The latest is an effort from the History channel with its new Lost Gold of World War II series (Tuesdays 10/9PM Central). The team is getting a big assist from ULS: unmanned lidar systems.
I’ve already mentioned the biggest challenge to treasure hunters: virtually impenetrable jungles. Lidar is creating nothing less than a revolution in the archaeology/cultural heritage sector thanks its ability to penetrate dense ground cover like the jungles of the Philippines.
In the second episode, a team from PrecisionHawk lends their lidar expertise. The group made the 7,000-mile journey with a DJI M600 equipped with a Riegl Minivux lidar sensor payload and a SONY A6000 visual camera.
One of the challenges the History channel team faced was getting a good look at the terrain underlying the dense jungles of Luzon, the initial target of their operations. The PrecisionHawk team flew its ULS and presented the History channel group with a DSM of the target area. I watched in awe as the canopy layer was removed to reveal a landscape laced with trails that gave researchers plenty of opportunities for follow-up investigation. By examining the surrounding terrain, one trail seemed to have a high probability of leading to a cave. Ground work proved this out with the discovery of a large cave riddled with what is believed to be Japanese-coded markings.
Research is still underway, and only time will tell whether the History channel team uncovers Yamashita’s gold. One thing is certain: lidar’s awesome ability in uncovering history’s mysteries. Teaming lidar with UAS technology adds another level of accessibility to the mix.

Dublin, July 31, 2013 - Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint has announced a major move into the Irish cloud computing market following the signing of a new agreement with SAP, the German headquartered software company. The company has also signed its first two contracts for the new cloud service worth in excess of €400,000 over a three year period.
Under the agreement, BearingPoint becomes the first Irish reseller to sell and deploy SAP’s Business ByDesign – a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) solution. SaaS offerings enable customers to avoid significant upfront capital outlays such as software, hardware and infrastructure costs. BearingPoint also offers additional support implementation services such as consulting, change management and data migration. BearingPoint Ireland will be the firm’s first office to provide the SAP cloud offering.
BearingPoint and SAP believe this service is ideal for Irish small to medium enterprises and multi-national subsidiaries and that Business ByDesign will be an attractive offering to new and growing companies who want to get established quickly and run their operations with a market-leading business system.
“SAP Business ByDesign delivers the best of SAP software. It recognises the growing trend for executives and business owners wanting to run their business in real-time, from whatever location they may be in. It is also aimed at companies that want the benefits of large scale business management applications without the costs of supporting the corresponding IT infrastructure,” added Richard Bennington, Head of Channel Cloud Solutions UK&I SAP.
Gartner* has estimated that SaaS-based applications are expected to grow from $19.8B in 2013 to $32.8B in 2016, generating a CAGR of 13.4% globally.

Racial tensions across the US face a downward spiral and are becoming difficult to control, highlighted by the latest protests against racism on US college campuses, a researcher and historian in Washington says.
“The United States is in a free fall state of racial chaos,” said Dr. Randy Short, who has a Ph.D in African studies.
There is a significant number of racist white people in the US who like to “engage in acts of genocide against African American people,” Dr. Short said in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.
“America is in a lot of trouble and people need to have to work together or you’re going to see just really unnecessary violence, bloodshed and discord,” he added.
University students across the US will hold protests this week against racism on college campuses, prompted by protests over the rising number of racist incidents against black students at the University of Missouri.
Peaceful marches and walkouts have been held or are planned at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York and Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.
A crowd of more than 1,000 gathered peacefully at the Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale University for a “March of Resilience,” in solidarity with black students at the University of Missouri located in Columbia, Missouri.
A walkout is also planned at Ithaca College “for all the injustices students of color face on this campus and other colleges nationally,” a student group called People of Color at the private university announced on its Facebook page.
Students at Smith College, a women’s private school, plan a similar walkout on Wednesday. Some schools, like the University of Michigan, are taking preventive steps to address racial inequality..
However, none of those protests have yet reached the intensity of demonstrations at Missouri, where hundreds of students and teachers have protested what they see as soft handling of reports of racial abuse on campus.
Shortly after, University of Missouri president Timothy Wolfe, announced he would step down as president of the university on Monday.
Students have pointed to several recent events on campus that underscore a hostile environment for black students. Student government president Payton Head, who is black, said in September that people in a passing pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him.
The protests come more than a year after a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, sparking widespread demonstrations across the US.
Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, is about 116 miles (186 km) from the University of Missouri campus in Columbia.

Vacuum drying oven, also referred as vacuum dryer or vacuum oven, is used for performing drying operations which generally comprise of removal of moisture from materials. In the medical industry, vacuum drying is used to speed up the water removal process from thick latex catheters. In the food industry, it is a valuable technology to convert the waste food into fertilizers. In the electronics industry, a special heating process is used to dry electronic chips. Meanwhile in the automotive industry, vacuum vaporizer is used at oil separation of cleaning or washing processing.
The working principle behind the operation of a vacuum drying oven involves substantially lowering the ambient pressure to decrease the boiling point of the liquid in the substance via the use of a vacuum pump. A considerable reduction in boiling point increases the rate of evaporation of the liquid and hence fastens the drying rate of the substance. Moreover, lowering the boiling point indicates that operating temperatures could be much lower as compared to regular air oven. Hence, heat sensitive substances could be dried with minimal effect to their physical or chemical properties. Additionally, lack of air (or oxygen) during the drying process significantly reduces the chances of substance oxidation.
At GSE, we develop a wide range of engineering equipment essential for smooth operation of industries. GSE vacuum dryer, a batch type oven, is built with the state-of-the-art technology to enhance the versatility and flexibility of use. The working pressure of our vacuum dryer ranges from 10,000 Pa to as low as ~100 Pa. Also, we provide flexibility in the heating medium, with electric, steam or hot water, depending on the industry requirements. Additionally, the operating temperatures have a broad range from 50 to 190 °C, depending on the type of the product.
GSE vacuum dryers are manufactured with an extraordinary precision to ensure highest industrial safety standards and accuracy of operating conditions. An extensive experience in development of best in class industrial equipment has made GSE one of the leading providers of vacuum drying oven in Malaysia.

THERE were times when last Sunday’s great G.O.P. health care implosion threatened to bring the thrill back to reality television. On ABC’s “This Week,” a frothing and filibustering Karl Rove all but lost it in a debate with the Obama strategist David Plouffe. A few hours later, the perennially copper-faced Republican leader John Boehner revved up his “Hell no, you can’t!” incantation in the House chamber — instant fodder for a new viral video remixing his rap with will.i.am’s “Yes, we can!” classic from the campaign. Boehner, having previously likened the health care bill to Armageddon, was now so apoplectic you had to wonder if he had just discovered one of its more obscure revenue-generating provisions, a tax on indoor tanning salons.
But the laughs evaporated soon enough. There’s nothing entertaining about watching goons hurl venomous slurs at congressmen like the civil rights hero John Lewis and the openly gay Barney Frank. And as the week dragged on, and reports of death threats and vandalism stretched from Arizona to Kansas to upstate New York, the F.B.I. and the local police had to get into the act to protect members of Congress and their families.
How curious that a mob fond of likening President Obama to Hitler knows so little about history that it doesn’t recognize its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht. The weapon of choice for vigilante violence at Congressional offices has been a brick hurled through a window. So far.
No less curious is how disproportionate this red-hot anger is to its proximate cause. The historic Obama-Pelosi health care victory is a big deal, all right, so much so it doesn’t need Joe Biden’s adjective to hype it. But the bill does not erect a huge New Deal-Great Society-style government program. In lieu of a public option, it delivers 32 million newly insured Americans to private insurers. As no less a conservative authority than The Wall Street Journal editorial page observed last week, the bill’s prototype is the health care legislation Mitt Romney signed into law in Massachusetts. It contains what used to be considered Republican ideas.
Yet it’s this bill that inspired G.O.P. congressmen on the House floor to egg on disruptive protesters even as they were being evicted from the gallery by the Capitol Police last Sunday. It’s this bill that prompted a congressman to shout “baby killer” at Bart Stupak, a staunch anti-abortion Democrat. It’s this bill that drove a demonstrator to spit on Emanuel Cleaver, a black representative from Missouri. And it’s this “middle-of-the-road” bill, as Obama accurately calls it, that has incited an unglued firestorm of homicidal rhetoric, from “Kill the bill!” to Sarah Palin’s cry for her followers to “reload.” At least four of the House members hit with death threats or vandalism are among the 20 political targets Palin marks with rifle crosshairs on a map on her Facebook page.
When Social Security was passed by Congress in 1935 and Medicare in 1965, there was indeed heated opposition. As Dana Milbank wrote in The Washington Post, Alf Landon built his catastrophic 1936 presidential campaign on a call for repealing Social Security. (Democrats can only pray that the G.O.P. will “go for it” again in 2010, as Obama goaded them on Thursday, and keep demanding repeal of a bill that by September will shower benefits on the elderly and children alike.) When L.B.J. scored his Medicare coup, there were the inevitable cries of “socialism” along with ultimately empty rumblings of a boycott from the American Medical Association.
But there was nothing like this. To find a prototype for the overheated reaction to the health care bill, you have to look a year before Medicare, to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Both laws passed by similar majorities in Congress; the Civil Rights Act received even more votes in the Senate (73) than Medicare (70). But it was only the civil rights bill that made some Americans run off the rails. That’s because it was the one that signaled an inexorable and immutable change in the very identity of America, not just its governance.
The apocalyptic predictions then, like those about health care now, were all framed in constitutional pieties, of course. Barry Goldwater, running for president in ’64, drew on the counsel of two young legal allies, William Rehnquist and Robert Bork, to characterize the bill as a “threat to the very essence of our basic system” and a “usurpation” of states’ rights that “would force you to admit drunks, a known murderer or an insane person into your place of business.” Richard Russell, the segregationist Democratic senator from Georgia, said the bill “would destroy the free enterprise system.” David Lawrence, a widely syndicated conservative columnist, bemoaned the establishment of “a federal dictatorship.” Meanwhile, three civil rights workers were murdered in Philadelphia, Miss.
That a tsunami of anger is gathering today is illogical, given that what the right calls “Obamacare” is less provocative than either the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or Medicare, an epic entitlement that actually did precipitate a government takeover of a sizable chunk of American health care. But the explanation is plain: the health care bill is not the main source of this anger and never has been. It’s merely a handy excuse. The real source of the over-the-top rage of 2010 is the same kind of national existential reordering that roiled America in 1964.
In fact, the current surge of anger — and the accompanying rise in right-wing extremism — predates the entire health care debate. The first signs were the shrieks of “traitor” and “off with his head” at Palin rallies as Obama’s election became more likely in October 2008. Those passions have spiraled ever since — from Gov. Rick Perry’s kowtowing to secessionists at a Tea Party rally in Texas to the gratuitous brandishing of assault weapons at Obama health care rallies last summer to “You lie!” piercing the president’s address to Congress last fall like an ominous shot.
They can’t. Demographics are avatars of a change bigger than any bill contemplated by Obama or Congress. The week before the health care vote, The Times reported that births to Asian, black and Hispanic women accounted for 48 percent of all births in America in the 12 months ending in July 2008. By 2012, the next presidential election year, non-Hispanic white births will be in the minority. The Tea Party movement is virtually all white. The Republicans haven’t had a single African-American in the Senate or the House since 2003 and have had only three in total since 1935. Their anxieties about a rapidly changing America are well-grounded.
If Congressional Republicans want to maintain a politburo-like homogeneity in opposition to the Democrats, that’s their right. If they want to replay the petulant Gingrich government shutdown of 1995 by boycotting hearings and, as John McCain has vowed, refusing to cooperate on any legislation, that’s their right too (and a political gift to the Democrats). But they can’t emulate the 1995 G.O.P. by remaining silent as mass hysteria, some of it encompassing armed militias, runs amok in their own precincts. We know the end of that story. And they can’t pretend that we’re talking about “isolated incidents” or a “fringe” utterly divorced from the G.O.P. A Quinnipiac poll last week found that 74 percent of Tea Party members identify themselves as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents, while only 16 percent are aligned with Democrats.
After the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, some responsible leaders in both parties spoke out to try to put a lid on the resistance and violence. The arch-segregationist Russell of Georgia, concerned about what might happen in his own backyard, declared flatly that the law is “now on the books.” Yet no Republican or conservative leader of stature has taken on Palin, Perry, Boehner or any of the others who have been stoking these fires for a good 17 months now. Last week McCain even endorsed Palin’s “reload” rhetoric.
Are these politicians so frightened of offending anyone in the Tea Party-Glenn Beck base that they would rather fall silent than call out its extremist elements and their enablers? Seemingly so, and if G.O.P. leaders of all stripes, from Romney to Mitch McConnell to Olympia Snowe to Lindsey Graham, are afraid of these forces, that’s the strongest possible indicator that the rest of us have reason to fear them too.
Correction: Timothy Geithner’s title at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was president and chief executive officer, not chairman, as I wrote here last week.

Twenty years ago, I left the legal profession to train for pastoral ministry at London Theological Seminary (as it then was). I took that significant step because I was convinced that God was calling me into pastoral ministry. I pastored Banbury Evangelical Free Church for eight years subsequently, a time of challenge, joy and, I hope, fruitfulness in gospel work. In 2007, ten years ago, I left that work for a full-time post at LTS, succeeding Philip Eveson as Principal in 2008. The call to pastoral ministry has, however, never left me and in recent years has become stronger and stronger.
I therefore took the decision last autumn, after much prayer, thought and discussion with my wife and a few close friends, to investigate the possibility of returning to pastoral ministry. This was in the consciousness that, in God's goodness, the work at the Seminary is in a stable and healthy condition. The result is that I have accepted a call to the pastorate of Bradford on Avon Baptist Church. I will complete my time at the Seminary, therefore, this summer and take up my new post in the autumn.
It has been a very great privilege to serve as principal of this Seminary for the past (nearly) nine years and to work with my dedicated and gifted colleagues here. The experience of helping men to prepare for pastoral ministry is uniquely rewarding. I will miss it tremendously. At the same time, my wife Sarah and I are looking forward with great anticipation to my move back into pastoral ministry. I hope to retain some teaching involvement at the Seminary and my concern that men intending to go into the pastorate should have the best training possible will not diminish.
Please pray for Sarah and me and the church at Bradford on Avon, as we move there, and for the Board of the Seminary, as they pursue the process of looking for a new principal. Thank you for your continued support of the work here.

Annie’s Inc, the organic food seller, recently just came out with their IPO on Wednesday and so far it’s a hit. In fact, as we speak the IPO is up 70% in the early morning trading. Shares were offered at $19 a share but they have since rapidly on up to where it sits at $32.73 as of this writing. The company has sold 5 million shares in the $95 million IPO and they have said that their net proceeds are $11.6 million. Today’s price action has valued Annie’s at $532 million.
The organic food company has been profitable since 2010. The company reported $20 million in profits on $117.6 million in sales in 2011. This is up from $96 million and $6 million in profits in 2010.
The stock has been oversubscribed meaning that institutions and retail investors were trying to get a hold of Annie’s shares before it starts to trade but they could not. This gave underwriters Credit Suisse and JP Morgan the opportunity to push up the initial price for the IPO.
It seems as if the IPO rally still lingers around Wall Street. Last year we saw quite a few IPOs that gave companies huge valuations even though they had no earnings. Annie’s is profitable which is good but is it worth $532 million?
I do not believe it is worth that much. The company has only been profitable for two years now and their earnings from those two years do not justify the high flying valuation. This IPO is just another example of Wall Street pushing up valuations on companies that do not deserve them. I mean profit wise, they have only made $26 million since 2010, how does that warrant $532 million valuation?
Annie’s seems to be a good, well run company from what I have read but I simply can not get behind a stock that has a valuation that is way more than what it is actually worth. However, if the stock does come back down and it will, I would consider being a buyer. The market for organic foods is huge and these days a lot of people try to buy only organic. Annie’s has a lot of growth potential which is an attractive quality for the stock.
The bottom line is that you should not buy IPOs unless you are a pro or institutional investor. Retail investors who are trying to strike it rich with an IPO will be more likely to lose it all so do yourself a favor and wait for the price to come down, then you can get into the stock.

Why are boys still having to make the same protest?
Summer has, as usual, brought with it an inevitable stream of news stories on the dress codes that stand in the way of people's attempts to stay cool. Whether jackets at Royal Ascot or trousers in school, the peculiar British dogma around dress codes leads to a string of battles that pitch formality and uniformity against practicality and comfort.
This week, dozens of boys at a school in Exeter wore skirts in protest against 'no shorts' rule. When I embarked on one such battle in 2011, at the age of 11, little did I imagine that this would capture the imagination of the world.
I had been a member of Impington Village College's student executive for a few months, and uniform had featured more than once in our meetings. This was a surprise as IVC is hardly a traditional red-brick learning environment. It is an international school that offers an open, liberal educational environment. Sweatshirts and polo shirts, not blazers and ties, were the order of the day, though not shorts. But the rules were loose – skirts could be worn, and there was no stipulation that only girls could wear them.
This was the opening I needed – joking that boys who were too hot wearing trousers could wear skirts, Principal Rob Campbell neither anticipated that anyone would take this suggestion seriously, nor that my simple campaign would provoke an international media storm.
As well as coverage in every mainstream news media, and local press across the UK, the story was picked up by Adrian Chiles on Daybreak, prompting a bare-legged presenter to host the breakfast show in a skirt. My campaign trended on Twitter, was picked up by Have I Got New for You and Radio 4's New Quiz, gained coverage in the international magazines and newspapers in more than 50 countries from Sweden to Somalia, and I was ultimately shortlisted for a human rights award by Liberty, the Campaign for Civil Liberties.
The letters and personal messages were overwhelming, ranging from a postcard from "your admirers in Reading" to offers of work experience from barristers. Around 90% were positive, applauding my willingness to stand up for what I believe in – while 10% thought otherwise. There were questions regarding my sexuality, and comments that I should be excluded from school for breaking the rules. Several cast aspersions on my upbringing: I received a frankly hysterical letter from a woman who told me she was glad I wasn't her child (would it be cheeky to say the feeling is mutual?).
The campaign was, of course, only the first stage in a long process of negotiations about wearing shorts – which then morphed into a wider discussion about uniform more generally, and ended up with governors revising school policy about nine months later. Boys could wear shorts – provided they were plain black with no logos and reached the knee – but also, everyone could wear plain black jeans if they wanted. In fact, this development that was even more welcome to students than the shorts.
Suggesting that dealing with bullying requires students to look and act alike is an admission of defeat.
So, the battle was won, but what about the war? The UK remains one of only two EU countries (alongside Ireland) where uniforms are the norm. And this, to me, is a pity. The standard justification for schools insisting on uniform is that it ensures equality; no one can be picked on for not wearing the 'cool' logos. But this argument simply doesn't stack up in an age where a child can far more easily be bullied for the phone they use than the clothes they wear. Take it from me, who was using a ten-year-old 'brick phone' until the age of fourteen.
Another common defence of uniform is that it prepares students for the workplace – a ludicrous notion, dispelled as soon as you ask someone to list the professions where uniforms are mandatory.
What's more, most sixth forms do not require uniform, despite their students being even closer to the world of work. And if non-uniform really did undermine student discipline, as proposed by some, then maybe we should cancel the charity 'Jeans for Genes' campaign – except that their promotion of non-uniform days earns vast sums to support those with genetic disorders, and to my knowledge, doesn't lead to the catastrophic breakdown of school discipline that the uniform police might fear.
In reality, uniform is a solution to few problems, but a cause of quite a few. Childhood should be about exploring oneself. How one looks can be a very strong influence on how young people think and feel. We should be encouraging children to be comfortable in their own skin; not to conform to standards set by a previous, very different, generation.
Suggesting that dealing with bullying requires students to look and act alike is an admission of defeat. That is precisely the aim of bullies – to force others to conform to their set of 'normal' standards.
Rather than make them wear uniforms, let's prepare students for work by giving them classes about our democracy, how to pay taxes, how to write a CV. And, in terms of discipline, stop worrying. While the first few days into a non-uniform regime might be slightly noisier, and maybe students would 'dress-to-impress' for a while, let's not forget that children are both adaptable and frankly, often quite lazy. These attitudes would fade quickly, and jeans and a T-shirt would, in most cases, become the true alternative to an enforced school uniform.
That schoolboys across the country are still fighting for something as simple as shorts in the summer is a reflection of what I see as a misguided attempt to maintain order. An innocent mistake, driven by the right intentions – but a mistake nonetheless. A drive for both formality and uniformity in schools will not resolve the issue of bullying, provides no preparation for the adult world, and in a school where high standards of behaviour are expected, will have little or no effect on school discipline.
We should start trusting students. Treating them more like adults with their own choices could lead to a more mature, emotionally-intelligent generation.

The Oakville & Milton Humane Society has space for about 200 animals. These animals come to us because their owners can no longer care for them, or because they are lost, abandoned or abused.
The Pounds Act states that we must keep any incoming stray for a minimum of 72 hours not including the day the animal came in, Sundays or holidays. This is to allow the owner to claim his/her pet. The majority of our stray animals go back to their owners, or are placed in new homes.
Throughout the years, the Oakville & Milton Humane Society has retained its primary mission of addressing animal welfare issues as well as providing food, shelter and care for the many stray and unwanted pets in our community.
