Iceland was one of the first victims of the financial crisis in 2008. Ever since early October of that year, the country has been dealing with the problems caused by internet savings accounts opened by one of its banks in the UK. These accounts, called Icesave, were aggressively marketed in the UK and Netherlands, with accounts scheduled to open elsewhere right up to the crash. Hundreds of thousands of accounts were opened. The problem is that the Deposit Insurance Fund expected to cover them was in Iceland, where the population is only 300.000. When time came to pay the minimum insured amount, the fund was lacking. The British and Dutch authorities paid depositors in their respective countries and billed Iceland.
Fifteen months later, two deals have been made in an attempt to settle the terms of a loan. The first one was renegotiated in the Icelandic Parliament and passed in late August 2009. The changes made were unacceptable to the UK and Netherlands. The second deal, passed by Parliament in a late night vote on December 30th was rejected by the President on January 5th. According to Iceland's Constitution, this means the act must be put to a referendum, scheduled for March 6th. The problem is that a new negotiating team has been speaking with the British and a better deal is on the table, even though it hasn't been agreed upon yet. Iceland is holding its first referendum in the history of the republic on a moot question.
It appears clear that the bill will be voted down on Saturday. The one thing that is unclear as of yet is the impact a low turnout will have on the outcome of the vote. Polls indicate that over 70 percent would vote to void the bill passed by parliament in December, but none of the polls have measured (or at least they haven't published) likely turnout. The results could therefore be closer than the polls suggest.
In the most likely case, a majority of those casting their vote will choose to void the bill. For Iceland, the bill's rejection means a continuation of the ongoing talks with the Dutch and the British, and a prolongation of the extremely high risk premium for Iceland and Icelandic companies. Iceland has a loan agreement with the IMF and the terms of Iceland's loan package appear to have been held hostage by the Icesave dispute. Only after the first bill was passed in August was a review completed of the terms and loans paid out. A further delay is likely to lead to the same result, with loan payments and reviews being stalled, at great expense to the Icelandic economy. This delay is again likely to exacerbate the problems of the government, which has pushed hard for the passing of the bill, and in particular weaken the position of Minister of Finance Sigfusson, who has put his reputation and political life on the line for the deal. The government may be so weakened by the end of this affair that it would consider bringing in a third party. This again would probably serve to weaken the Left Green Movement, which is the only party to uphold environmental perspectives against the interests of damming and heavy industry, often to the dismay of the Social Democrats, who are the senior coalition partner.
The "no on Icesave" will come as no surprise to the Dutch and British, as at least the British have already proposed a significantly better deal to Iceland than the one approved by Parliament in December. This is already under negotiation between them and Iceland. The demands of the "pots and pans revolution" of last year included the increased use of referenda, and this has now been established. The problem is that there has been no change in how to decide what issues will be put to a referendum, so it is up to the opinion of one man whether the nation gets to have a say. The impact is therefore far more important domestically than internationally. Iceland's problem is huge for the country itself. Unfortunately, it's not so big for the other parties involved.

You know what? Canning in the winter is quite enjoyable. I need to do more of it. Especially when the temperature drops, standing next to three boiling pots on the stove is quite lovely. A nice change from the frigid depths of the living room.
Earlier this year I received a note from Tom of Singer Farm Naturals, who found one of my posts touting the deliciousness of garlic scapes (which, I agree, are underutilized). Tom offered to send me a sampling of his organic garlic varieties (he grows over 20 unique varieties). How could I say no?
When the box came just this past week, I was overwhelmed. Think about it. You buy garlic in little mesh bags in the grocery store. It’s just garlic. Plain old, generic garlic. It’s not like apples, there are no options… garlic is garlic. Or so I thought.
Anyone have a breath mint?
Smoked Gouda and garlic jam.
It was a comment left on the Kerry Gold giveaway post by Michelle, describing her ultimate grilled cheese. I saw the words “garlic jam” and I knew I had it. Thanks, Michelle, for the inspiration I needed!
While I couldn’t find any recipes for garlic jam, recipes for garlic jelly were all over, including in my canning bible, which had a recipe for Roasted Garlic Jelly that I ended up using. I made two batches, one featuring the Lorz Italian variety of garlic, and the other featuring Persian Star. Both delicious, both garlicky and wonderfully rich, and oh so slightly different. While I think the varieties are best distinguished in their raw forms, (garlic tasting party, anyone?), this jelly is a real treat.
Yes, indeed. I think this will make one fine grilled cheese.
Makes 9 4-oz. jars. Recipe from Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving.
Using a sharp knife, cut off tops of garlic heads, exposing cloves. Place each head on a small square of aluminum foil set on a baking sheet. Top each head with 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Scrunch foil loosely around garlic heads and roast in preheated oven until garlic is golden and very soft, 45 to 60 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Separate cloves, pinching each one to extract the soft roasted garlic. Discard skins.
In a medium stainless steel saucepan, combine roasted garlic, wine, water, white balsamic vinegar and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and boil gently for 5 minutes. Cover, remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
Transfer garlic mixture to a strainer lined with several layers of dampened cheesecloth or a dampened coffee filter set over a deep bowl. Let drip, undisturbed, for about 30 minutes. Measure 1 2/3 cups garlic juice. If you do not have the required amount, add up to 1/4 cup dry white wine or water. (This step can be done up to one day in advance. Cover and refrigerate juice until ready to use).
Meanwhile, prepare canner, jars, and lids.
Transfer garlic juice to a large, deep stainless steel saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and sugar. Over high heat, stirring constantly, bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Stir in pectin. Return to a boil and boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim off foam.
Quickly pour hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip tight.
Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool, and store.
Giveaway week continues with (you guessed it) garlic! I am so pleased to offer a garlic sampler, filled with multiple varieties of organic garlic from Singer Farm Naturals in Appleton, New York. We’ve enjoyed exploring the subtle differences in the unusual varieties of garlic we received, and we are sure you will too!

Roasted garlic with my baked brie on a french baquette rocks my world. I’m-a-liking-you on FB as well. Thanks for the post…. garlic jelly really never occurred to me in a million years, but would gladly can that!
I love garlic on pasta. I like to make a garlic-brown butter sauce for cheese raviolis. I love garlic mashed potatoes. I just LOVE garlic!
Liked Love & Olive Oil on FB.
Lots of garlic sauteed with rutabegas. Can you tell I’m from Minnesota?
Hummus, loaded with garlic. Yummmm.
Oh I add garlic to everything. I’ll doctor store bought pasta sauce by adding more spices and caramelized onions and garlic, it goes into bruschetta, and in the winter I toast some brown rye bread and rub a peeled piece of garlic right into the sandpapery toast and then eat it with borscht. No danger of vampire attacks in this house.
I LOVE Garlic, minced, chopped, grated, backed, sauted………..I love garlic stuffed olives, but my favorite recipe for garlic has to be salsa! The more garlic the better! Also, garlic cheese toast, cheese, mayo, minced garlic, mix and spread on some French Bread and broil!! YUM!!
I love roasted garlic soup!
I’m also a fan on FB!
I work for Washington State University, which makes an outstanding aged white cheddar at Ferdinand’s Creamery on the main campus in Pullman (http://www.wsu.edu/creamery/). Cougar Gold and this garlic jelly on crackers would be the hit of any party; this would also make a great gift basket.
I’m making some of this as soon as I can get some good local garlic from my farmers’ market (we have one that runs through the winter, fortunately).
Cold cure soup. It calls for two heads of roasted garlic. It works too!
I liked you on facebook! Lovely blog.
My favorite recipe is garlic bread, or garlic shrimp,roasted garlic on a baguette..
You bet I am a fan on FB too!!!!
I love garlic in everything…garlic bread especially. Thanks for this giveaway!
I am fan on FB too!!!
I would have to say Homemade Garlic Bread- with homemade bread of course!!!!
My favorite is a simple summer bruschetta with an unreasonable amount of garlic, garden tomatoes, olive oil & balsamic vinegar, sea salt and basil on crispy baguette.
I like your blog on FB (A Mace).
Following on Twitter, and I tweeted (http://twitter.com/neverdene/status/16720420241670146).
when i really need my garlic fix i like it roasted and spread over crusty french bread. yum!
My fav is a venison roast – sliced deep and stuffed with crushed garlic cloves, then marinated overnight in strong black coffee. Then roast in the oven at 350 for 2 hours! Succulent!
I am a major fb fan! Great blog, thank you!
My favorite garlic recipe is a head of garlic roasted and then mixed with a stick of butter~the cook everything in it!
The Pioneer Woman’s Spaghetti & Meatballs recipe is my favorite recipe with garlic…. but her recipe only uses 6 cloves…. so I up it to 12-14. Hehe. Can’t ever get enough garlic! Yummm.
I love garlic, growing it and eating it. My current favorite is an omelet with spinach, cream cheese and GARLIC!
You have really piqued my interest in different varieties of garlic! I went to Singer Farms’ web site and was quickly (and delightfully) overwhelmed by their choices!
Do they sell a Garlic Sampler? I could not find it on their site.
Thanks for the recipe. I made it yesterday! I love garlic and this is its a great way of using it!
This week I tried garlic jelly for the first time and was truly surprised at how good it was. I would like to make some and wondered if anyone had tried to make it using pineapple juice rather than wine or vinegar as the base.
I’m not sure what’s going on. i made this recipe twice and both times, the liquid never gelled and the flavor is entirely vinegar. no garlic flavor at all. hmmm……..
My favorite is garlic jelly that I made for the first time two days ago. I use it on crackers and toasted bread. I love garlic and garlic and onions are the first things I grab to use.
Is it sweet at all or just garlicy ?? Inquiring minds want to know!?
It is plenty sweet, as you’ve got 3 cups of sugar in there to offset the garlic flavor. It’s very well balanced I think you’ll find!

Water is a resource that is not without its limitations. That’s because only one percent of the water on Earth is fresh, or safe for use. In certain areas of the country, there is the very real threat of water shortages. A lack of fresh, usable water is more than just an annoying inconvenience – it can result in problems in terms of human health and also with the environment. Water is wasted in numerous ways every day in both residential and commercial environments. In residences, people often do not realize how much water they actually use performing typical day-to-day tasks. On a daily basis a family of four people uses up to 400 gallons of water.
The largest consumption of water in residential settings, nearly half of what is used in the home, takes place in the bathroom. This is of little surprise considering the bathroom houses not only a sink, but also the toilet, and the bathtub and/or shower. The EPA states that twenty-seven percent of the water that is used at home comes from the toilet, which uses as much as seven gallons of water each time that it is flushed. Running the water in the bathroom sink uses as much as two gallons of water every minute that it runs.
Fortunately, people can make significant progress in reducing how much water they waste in the bathroom. They can achieve these reductions in waste by making a conscious effort to change old habits and repair any potential problems that can result in excess, unintentional water loss. For example, a leaking toilet is a major offender. Approximately 200 gallons of water is wasted when a toilet has a leak. A person can easily check for a leak by dropping food coloring into the tank of the toilet. If the coloring enters the bowl after ten minutes, there is a leak in need of repair. Other ways to conserve water used by the toilet is to displace some of the water by placing a plastic water bottle in the tank, or by replacing an old toilet with a new one that is ultra-low flush.
Roughly eighteen percent of water usage comes from taking showers or baths. The choice to take a shower over a bath will help conserve water. If taking a bath, the bathtub should be filled no more than one-third of the way. Simple common sense solutions, such as taking shorter showers, will also help. An even more frugal approach is to only run the water when it is necessary, as in wetting one’s body and rinsing off soap suds. Using low-flow showerheads is an option that can drastically reduce the amount of water used per minute. For example, an older showerhead will release as much as five gallons of water a minute, while low-flow showerheads often reduce that amount by half. At the sink people often allow the water to run while they are washing their faces, lathering their hands during hand-washing, or while brushing their teeth. Turning off the water while performing these tasks will greatly reduce the amount of water that is lost down the drain, potentially saving over 200 gallons monthly. Another more certain way to reduce the amount of water is to install a faucet aerator. Repairs are also important for both the bathtub and the sink. Repairs should be made on dripping or leaking faucets.

When one says information, they simply mean data and facts that are being collected in order to describe a situation. But, knowledge prescribes the way these data and facts should be used. With the use of knowledge, a person can deduce the facts and data and put them to use. Without knowledge, the data and facts hold no meaning.
Our defence system is the best example where one can actually differentiate information from knowledge. While at every instance of defence, there is predictable data and facts present giving them information, no junior defence personnel can enact on the basis of this information.
Why is that so? Well, the reason is simple; there is no knowledge of what happens when a particular instance is carried out. The lack of knowledge can lead to wrong decisions and, thus problems in the nation.
This is the reason why majors and higher ranked personnel are chosen for the roles of strategic planners in defence. Similarly, in an ordinary corporate scenario one would find that the decision makers are basically experienced people who possess a lot of knowledge.
With the use of the knowledge they possess, they can come to better decisions with the facts and data. The tools called information prove to be baseless without the room of information.
It is not only the case of corporate or defence. In every facet of life, it is said that information is just the tool while knowledge is the basis for every decision. Without knowledge, information is basically useless.
So, when a person says he is informed, he is surely updated with the present facts and data. But, unless he knows how to use these facts or, what to deduce using these facts, the information is baseless. He is not knowledgeable even with lots of information.

The only person who can learn to play violin is yourself. It takes time and you need some motivation.
I want to be able to hold the violin and play a note and still relax.
I want to be able to learn my favorite tune from a record.
Please note that above goals are gradually increasing.
Don't force yourself to progress. Some people learn faster than other people. I cannot put a pace that suits everybody. Don't practice too much in the start. Make sure that you have learnt a melody well before you go on to the next.
Try to practice every day. Some people may only have time to practice once a week. Then do that, but don't expect fast progress that way.
Start with 5 minutes and then increase to about 15 minutes. After a couple of month time you may increase to half an hour. (But you can also do less) After a year you may increase to an hour. Buy a good sordine so you can practice without bothering the rest of your family.
In the start you will probably work a week on each tune. I strongly recommend you not to jump to next tune until you have learnt a tune (unless you don't like the tune and decide that you don't want to learn the tune now, then you are of course allowed to skip).
Once you have learnt a tune by heart, you have probably not learnt the tune well enough. Now you should start working with your expression. Try different approaches and put the stress different places. If you have a favorite artist playing the tune on CD. Try to copy him. A good idea is to use ear phones and put a sordine, play the tune while actually hearing the artist playing. Where are the differences between him(or her) and you. How can you copy him exactly. Once you can copy him exactly you may want to develop your own style, or you just want to keep the style of your famous artist.
After you have learnt the next couple of tunes: keep coming back to the tunes that you have learnt. It is a good idea to have one or two favorites, that you keep coming back to practicing and playing. That is the tune that you will start your performance with. It is good to start up with something that you know for 100%. Another advantage of having a favorite tune is that you may use it for improving your technique.
Stand in front of the mirror and concentrate on just one think while playing your favorite tune. It may be keeping the rhythm, holding the bow right. Putting your elbow forward or something else. The important think is that while you know the melody, you can concentrate on the technique you want to learn.
The advantage with the 15 Scandinavian tunes is that they are fairly simple. Don't challenge yourself with too complicated music in the start. When you go on you should of course increase your style. You don't have to learn all 15 Scandinavian tunes, pick the ones you like, or find some other music that you want to practice. There are plenty of sources for music. By a CD. Find a teacher. Find some friends that play and learn melodies from them, or make your own music.
If you are interested in jazz music you should definitely buy Band-in-a-box and start improvising.

Masters Of Reality (1981-1989, 1993-present) is a Hard Rock band from Syracuse, New York, USA.
asters Of Reality started with Chris Gross (vocals/guitar/keyboards) and Googe (bass) at the helm. After plugging away at gigs for most of their first decade, they were discovered by Rick Rubin who promptly added them to the expanding repertoire of his 'Def American' label.
After Vinnie Ludovico (drums) and Tim Harrington (guitar) completed the line-up they officially formed in 1980 to embark on a club tour that got them attention. Delivering modern technology but with a sound clearly reminiscent of the 1970s and signing to 'Def Jam' (before it became 'Def American' when it wisely diversified its repertoire) they struggled for almost a decade to release the monumental Masters Of Reality in 1989 (titled The Blue Garden in the US). Naming themselves and their debut after a Black Sabbath album only gave a hint as to their influences merging a varied selection of Rock styles including Doors, Vanilla Fudge, Love and Deep Purple. The remaining of the story lay in the album cover art not seen since the early 1970s coupled with quasi-psychedelia, Metal, Blues and Boogie. Indeed, the album failed to garner high sales but nonetheless the few it got were important for it towered over just about any other comparable release issued that year. The record resurrected ghosts of Rock's past, and proved to be mesmerizing. The subsequent support tour made the band an even harder commodity to get a hold of, for before it made it very far interpersonal issues caused it to dissolve. After the tour the personnel problems continued to the point that Gross quit and took the name with him to re-issue the debut on hip-hop label 'Malicious Vinyl' with two extra tracks added. Gross subsequently recruited Daniel Ray (ex-Iggy Pop; guitar), Jon Leamy (drums; and shortly later Ginger Baker) for touring.
Meanwhile, Harrington and Ludivico would launch the Bogeymen side-project to release There's No Such Thing As... in 1991 before formerly coming back together as Masters Of Reality to release Sunrise On The Sufferbus (1993) before Baker left and the cancellation of the forthcoming Reading festival. The dissolution of a second tour sent Gross to the production desk for a while, most notably with the likes of Kyuss. But Masters Of Reality wasn't formerly split and he and Googe returned with Brendan McNichol (guitar), Chris Johnson (keyboards), Vic "the stick" Indrizzo (drums/vocals) and guest performer Scott Weiland (on one track) to release the live set, How High The Moon - Live At The Viper Room (1997) before John Leamy (bass/drums) came in for Welcome To The Western Lodge (1999), their style leaning more toward the heavy side rather than psychedelia. The album proved to be a disappointment to fans despite Gross getting acclaim for his production work with Queens Of The Stone Age.
Deep in the Hole (2001),their fifth album, Give Us Barabbas (2004), andPine/Cross Dover in 2009.
The second live album would appear in 2003 as Flak 'n' Flight.

NEW DELHI - Controversy over the sudden dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly last week is further stoking political tensions in the Indian state, which is already facing escalating violence.
Governor Satya Pal Malik dissolved the assembly last Wednesday (Nov 21) after two rival local alliances staked claims to form a government.
One comprised the federal opposition Congress, along with two local parties - the National Conference (NC) and People's Democratic Party (PDP). The other alliance was led by J&K People's Conference leader Sajjad Lone, a Kashmiri leader, who was supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruling in Delhi.
Mr Malik, who was appointed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has come under fire for dissolving the assembly without allowing the three-party alliance - which he apparently dismissed as an "unholy" one - to prove its majority in the legislature.
The BJP has denied that it was behind dissolution of the assembly to prevent a rival faction from coming to power.
Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav added to the drama by alluding in a tweet that the NC and PDP took directions from Pakistan to form an alliance. Mr Madhav later retracted the remarks.
Said political analyst Happymon Jacob from Jawaharlal Nehru University: "All these incidents will increase unhappiness Kashmiris traditionally have towards Delhi (federal government) and the BJP in particular. Calling mainstream parties anti-national and pro-Pakistan will not help at a time when terror attacks and infiltration are increasing.
"People are generally unhappy with the way the BJP was trying to make inroads into the political scenario in Kashmir and the dissolution will have serious implication," he added.
Kashmir has been under governor's or federal rule since the BJP pulled out of a ruling coalition in June that included the PDP headed by its leader Mehbooba Mufti.
Kashmir, which has been at the heart of a conflict between India and Pakistan, has had a troubled history with thousands of people killed by violence fuelled by a separatist insurgency which began in 1989.
Following a period of relative calm, the last few years have seen a deterioration in the law and order situation, particularly after the killing of Burhan Wani, the commander of the Kashmiri militant group Hizbul Mujahideen, by security forces in 2016.
On Sunday, AFP reported that eight people were killed in violence, capping off one of the deadliest weeks this year.
Against this backdrop, the turbulence on the political arena has added to the sense of alienation among Kashmiris.
Said Dr Noor Ahmad Baba of the Department of Politics and Governance in Central University of Kashmir: "By and large people don't have high opinion of the democratic process. These political developments only vindicates that opinion."
There has been a lukewarm response to elections this year.
In recent village council polls over 100 seats went uncontested, meaning there was only one candidate willing to take part. Municipal elections held early this year saw only a four per cent voter turnout.
The Election Commission has said that fresh polls should be held within six months.
"Kashmir needs political stability at a time when it is passing through a critical time. This entire episode has been a blow to democracy," said Kashmir-based writer Ghulam Nabi Khayal.

We’ve been surrounded by news claiming that the diets of American children and adults are shamefully unhealthy, with junk food consumption especially rampant among ethnic minorities, the poor and children. We’re told that eating habits are so bad that they’re creating a medical emergency of hurricane-like proportions, wrecking havoc on families and our society, and necessitating extreme measures to tell people what to eat.
The U.S. government just released the latest “What we eat in America” report this week. This is the dietary survey component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted on a cross section of the population by the Dept. of Health and Human Services and the US Dept. of Agriculture. NHANES is viewed by healthcare professionals as the most accurate data on our diets, lifestyles and health, and the information is supposed to be used to help guide public health policies.
So why was this important report ignored by the media?
Perhaps, because the actual data doesn’t support the doomsday claims or the over-the-top public policies being enacted. In fact, it reveals that the obesity hysteria might be leading to some adverse health effects.
These large-scale NHANES surveys have been conducted on Americans since 1971 and involve in-person and telephone interviews on two random, nonconsecutive days to compile detailed 24-hour food consumption data.* For this new “What we eat in America NHANES 2005-2006” report, the surveys had sampled an over-representation of weekend days; and oversampled teens, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, seniors and low-income people; attempting to identify the worst case scenarios. And still, the data didn’t paint the picture being popularly spun of a nation of junkfood-eating couch potatoes.
Despite activists claims that we’ve become a nation pigging out on gargantuan amounts of food, total calories among adult men and women averaged 2,157 kcal/day — slightly less than the 2,178 kcal/day reported in 2001-2002. Men averaged 2,638 kcal/day. Women (20 years+) have been eating continually fewer calories, today averaging only 1,785 kcal, below recommended levels for moderately active women.
There is simply no evidence that we’re overeating fast amounts of junk. The origin of the oft-repeated urban legend that our caloric intakes have skyrocketed to a whopping 3,900 kcal/day, as we’ve examined, is a misunderstanding of USDA Economic Research Service data. This is economic information on the supply of food produced in this country, which currently equates to 3,900 calories per person, as compared to 3,500 calories per person in 1909. But extrapolating people’s actual dietary intakes from food supply data has been repeatedly shown to be faulty and to wildly exaggerate actual consumptions.
Economists at Harvard Institute for Economic Research noted that only in recent years has wastage been accounted for — which they’ve found done imprecisely at best. More significantly, this raw economic data doesn’t consider industrial and other uses for foods, which are extensive. As David Klurfeld, Ph.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at Wayne State University, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition and Nutrition New Focus wrote about the “absurdity” of using this data to estimate what Americans actually eat: “...soybean oil is used to make ink, lubricants, diesel fuel, plastics and many other useful products....and the U.S. feeds millions more people outside the country and we don't have to eat six meals a day to get rid of surplus crops.” Even school kids know George Washington Carver developed more than 300 uses just for peanuts — from paint, explosives to kitty litter! And Midwest-grown corn is becoming ethanol to fuel our automobiles and farm equipment.
Well-conducted dietary surveys, while not as precise as clinical measures, have been shown to be surprisingly close reflections of intakes. And, despite assertions that people lie more so today than in past decades, there is no evidence for such claims. Over the past forty years, NHANES data has been recognized among medical professionals as the most reliable population data available on the foods eaten by Americans.
This week’s report also showed that dietary fat consumption was also not increasing. Total fats among all Americans over age 2 (men and women) averaged 33.6% of calories, within dietary guidelines. This compares, for example, to 1977-78 data when 40% of our calories came from fats.
In contrast to widespread beliefs that minorities and poorer people eat nutritionally worse and more calorie-dense diets, the nutrient intakes by race/ethnicity show that whites averaged 2,198 kcal/day — more than Blacks at 2,095 kcal and Mexican-Americans at 2,109 kcal. Diets were similar among the ethnic/racial groups in most major nutrients such as sugars and proteins. But Mexican-Americans were consuming more dietary fiber, less total fats and saturated fats, less sodium, and less alcohol than other groups.
The prejudicial belief that poor people eat worse diets was also not supported in this government data, just as it hasn’t in 196 studies conducted in the U.S. and other developed countries, recently reviewed. Higher family income was related to higher calories and dietary fats, and unrelated to carbohydrates consumed in this latest NHANES report. Average calories by people in families with annual incomes less than $25,000 were 2,104 kcal; families earning $25,00 to $75,000 consumed an average of 2,139 kcal; and those with incomes over $75,000 ate an average of 2,238 kcal/day.
Overall, Americans (2 years and over) are consuming slightly fewer carbohydrates and sugars, slightly more protein, and similar amounts of fiber and fats as compared to recent surveys. Since the 2001-2002 report, average calcium intakes are up nearly 100 mg/day for nearly all ages. And most vitamins (other B vitamins, vitamin E and A) and minerals, including iron, magnesium, zinc, copper and selenium are higher.
The new data doesn’t support the need for public policies to address unhealthy gluttonous eating, and prohibit access to fattening foods. It does, however, provide clues that the anti-obesity hysteria might be contributing to risks for adverse effects, especially for young people.
Children 2 to 11 years of age are eating notably fewer calories, less fat, sugars, and protein than in 2001-2002, trends that not only disprove the necessity of interventions to encourage less fattening diets among children, but that obesity concerns could be leading children to be at risk for dietary shortfalls.
And folic acid among teen girls and women of childbearing age, for example, has continued to drop since 2001-2002, as many avoid enriched flour breads and baked goods, believing them to be unhealthy and fattening, and favor wholegrain products that aren’t fortified, putting their babies at heightened risk of birth defects.
The important “What we eat in America” report would have been splashed across headlines from every media outlet in the country — had the report shown us all to be gorging on junk. But it didn’t. And good news is seen as bad news in today’s topsy turvy reality.

Chesapeake Energy Corp reported a net loss on Thursday compared with a year-ago profit, as low natural gas prices caused the U.S. oil and gas company to write down the value of some assets.
Chesapeake, which has large exposure to weak natural gas prices, has pledged to sell about $14 billion in assets this year to cut its debt and improve liquidity. The company is also drilling for pricier crude oil and natural gas liquids.
The company said in its third-quarter earnings report that it is pursuing the sale of some of its properties in the Eagle Ford basin in south Texas and expects a joint venture for its acreage in the Mississippi Lime in Oklahoma and Kansas to be announced by the end of the year.
Still, some investors and analysts expected more details on the company's plans for next year after big investors Carl Icahn and Mason Hawkins took control of the nine-member board of directors in June.
The new board was seated following a series of Reuters investigations that raised questions about potential conflicts of interest on the part of Chief Executive Aubrey McClendon. There has also been an investigation into alleged collusion over land prices.
"I'm surprised there was not more color around 2013," said Mark Hanson, oil and gas analyst at Morningstar. "But I think the Eagle Ford sale clues you in. They are probably going to be selling more non-core assets."
The company left its spending forecast for 2013 largely unchanged, but said its board continues to review strategy.
Chesapeake shares fell 2.8 percent to $19.50 in trading after the close of the New York Stock Exchange.
Chesapeake's daily production rose 24 percent from a year ago to average 4.142 billion cubic feet equivalent. The amount of oil and natural gas liquids it produced daily rose 10 percent from the second quarter to 143,000 barrels.
Even so, the company's share of production from natural gas was a hefty 79 percent in the quarter, a period when the average natural gas price for delivery at Henry Hub fell 32 percent from a year-ago as large supplies weighed in.
"They simply can't turn off the gas," Morningstar's Hanson, said. "I don't think they are out of the woods in terms of gas price."
The loss in the third quarter was $2.1 billion, or $3.19 cents per share, compared with a profit of $879 million, or $1.23 cents per share a year earlier.
Excluding items, Chesapeake had a profit of 10 cents per share. Analysts on average had expected a profit of 10 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Chesapeake Energy Corp said earlier on Thursday that it is working with banks to issue $2 billion in debt to pay off more-expensive loans on its bloated balance sheet.
The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, company said it is setting up a five-year term loan facility and would use the proceeds to pay off a $4 billion loan it obtained in May of this year, as well as other debt.
The May loan was a lifeline at the time when the company was staring at a funding shortfall of about $10 billion. So far this year, Chesapeake has sold about $12 billion of its assets.

ONE of the country’s largest building firms has been accused of misleading buyers and deliberately delaying repairs on its poorly-built homes.
Bovis is also said to have slapped one buyer with a gagging order to stop them talking about the problems with their property.
The company, which builds around 3,500 homes each year, apologised last year after hundreds of customers complained about the quality of their homes.
In one home, joists supposedly supporting first-floor rooms were resting just on plasterboard.
Bovis is the only national builder to score two out of five in the Home Builders Federation customer satisfaction poll.
But seven out of eight of its developments are claiming to have a star rating of three or more, The Times reports.
A whistleblower said: “I am amazed they got two stars to be honest.
“Some of the houses I came across were terrible.
“Don’t get me wrong, they look lovely but when you start looking around from a construction perspective some were a shambles.
“Pipes were not fitted properly, air bricks were half buried, walls were not sound, and the ground not level.
Bovis said it had recently invested in improving build quality and service.
The housing giant has sold 17,000 houses in the last five years yielding profits of more than £650million.

The Swim Centre’s Learn to Swim curriculum is a series of structured step by step swimming lessons with awards that acknowledge achievement.
Below are the main elements of our ‘structured’ approach to ensuring we maximise the progress of each pupil.
Pupil ability assessment and class grading is the first step; this ensures pupils are in a class suited to their ability.
Detailed lesson plans for each day and each class are the foundation of The Swim Centre Swim School's success. Each pupil will be working towards achieving the various skills that are detailed in a series of lesson plans.
This enables all our Swim School's Instructors to know the lesson plan for each day and for each class so they can be fully prepared. Instructors are also able to record whether or not a pupil has achieved the specific points to be covered in these lesson plans.
The Swim Centre’s structured approach (PASS) maintains a consistently high level of teacher focus on the key points to be taught to each class, on each day, while still providing teachers the autonomy to personalise the way in which they feel each pupil is best handled.
Regular discussions occur between the Swim Centre's teachers to ensure pupils that progress at different rates are always being extended … while not out of their depth (excuse the pun). There are many teaching styles … some teachers prefer to have private one-on-one, ‘quiet’ conversations with pupils and some prefer to be vocal. Both approaches have their place.
To ensure variety and to prepare for the unexpected, pupils are also exposed to water survival so they not only learn freestyle but breaststroke which is vitally important as a ‘survival’ stroke and backstroke. The stronger swimmers are also introduced to butterfly.
Achievements Awards are displayed in the lobby. There is also an award ‘path’ illustrating the order of the award steps a pupil will go through while learning to swim.
Parents find this very helpful as pupils know what awards they can look forward to doing and the key skills they will cover as these are listed on the certificates. Often pupils progress more than one stage between being assessed. Below is an example of the ‘PASS’ Pathway.

SAN JOSE – Logan Couture was the story afterward, how he spent part of the day getting IV antibiotics to reduce what had been a mysterious swelling around his eye, how he got the green light to play and then scored San Jose’s first two goals en route to a 6-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
But the story was also how the Sharks turned a 5-1 runaway into a one-goal nail-biter until Matt Nieto hit the empty net with 49.2 second left in the game. There was a collective exhale at that point from the crowd of 17,352 at the SAP Center. Yes, you read that right: not even a Saturday night game against a hated SoCal rival could fill the building even if that number is only 210 shy of a full house.
Anyway, Couture was the focal point of the game story filed a little earlier and available online here. What should be in that story, but isn’t: Tommy Wingels had a career-high four points on one goal and three assists.
As usual, there was more from the post-game locker room and Todd McLellan than you’ll find there.
****McLellan on his team’s overall play and what was said in that timeout: “Tonight kind of epitomizes our team. We come out and we do exactly what we want to do. We play with a straight-forward mentality, no turnovers, a hard fore-check, physical, on pucks, special teams are sharp. We get a lead and now we want to play a different game.
****Patrick Marleau on the late push by the Ducks: “You know they’re not going to go away. We got a little bit sloppy there and they have players who can capitalize. That’s a good lesson as well.
*****McLellan gave the Sharks tomorrow off, though an 11 a.m. practice had been scheduled.

During our recent visit to Edinburgh, we decided that it wouldn't be a real ScareTOUR trip if we didn't check out the Frankenstein bar on George IV Street - just a stones throw from the popular tourist destinations along the Royal Mile.
The bar is built in an old abandoned church and has been impeccably themed from top to bottom like a regal mad scientists lab! Every where you turn there are flashing lights, electric static charges or vats of bubbling liquid and the orginal black and white Frankenstein movies play on large screens above the bar. The pub has a reputation for being a lively night out and the music was a perfect mix of chart and contemporary without being too loud that conversation was impossible.
One of the highlights is that every couple of hours and light and sound show is activated which culminates in a "life size" Frankenstein monster being lowered from the ceiling and coming to life to take a look around the room. It sounds cheesy but was great fun to watch from our booth!
While at the bar, we were tempted by a number of different drinks off the cocktail menu including the delicious Dr Frankenstein. It was far too easy to drink so we ended up sampling a few more before we had finished! The bar also serves good quality pub food at reasonable prices and between us we had Haggis and Neeps (well - when in Scotland...) and a massive chilli burger. The kids menu was also well stocked, and with the kids Franky cups its clear that the bar welcome family groups.
All in all - we had a fantastic couple of hours at the pub with good food, excellent drinks and great music. That along with the impressive horror theme decoration, means we would definitely recommend a visit next time you are in Edinburgh. And if you do go - check out the Frankenstein Bar App on iTunes and Play Store to get a further discount on your bill!

This article is about 'the narrow gauge engine'. You may be looking for 'the standard gauge engine or the Story Library book'.
Number 2 (No. 2), nicknamed Stanley (after politician Stanley Baldwin), was an American narrow gauge pannier-tank engine who originally worked on the Mid Sodor Railway up until he was turned into a pumping engine.
Stanley was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works sometime around 1917, and apparently worked in the United States before arriving on Sodor. Following the end of the First World War, Stanley was bought secondhand as army surplus by the Mid Sodor Railway and was re-gauged.
However, Stanley proved to be a bad bargain. As he had not been re-gauged properly, Stanley was prone to riding roughly along the track and often derailed, though he believed this was no big deal. Repeated attempts to cure this habit failed, and Stanley was stripped of his wheels and became a pumping engine behind the engine sheds at Arlesdale.
Duke later lectured Stuart and Falcon about Stanley's downfall and they became "unusually good for several days".
Stanley was later relocated to Cas-ny-Hawin to pump out water from the mines, but by December 1946 he was becoming worn-out and broke down, causing the mines to flood. With no reason to stay open, the Mid Sodor Railway was closed and Stanley was scrapped.
Stanley was arrogant and careless and refused to listen to advice. This carelessness eventually led to him being converted into a pumping engine.
Stanley is based on a Baldwin Class 10-12-D 4-6-0 pannier tank engine, built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States for service in the First World War. They were sent to the United Kingdom and the British War Office chose them to be the principal military steam locomotive for the trench railways. However, they were rough riders and had the tendency to derail. After the war ended in 1918, various railways, such as the Welsh Highland and the Snailbeach District Railway acquired them as surplus. Five of these engines are known to be preserved. Stanley had been re-gauged from 1ft 11 5/8in to 2ft 3in. As of today, none of the class still reside in the United States, and the ones preserved still reside in the UK.
Stanley's second appearance, in the back of the shed in "Bulldog", creates a continuity error. According to "Granpuff", Stuart and Falcon did not know about Stanley, implying Stanley's arrival and likely scrapping occurred before their arrival. However, Stanley is seen in the same shed as Falcon, meaning Falcon would have known about Stanley and what happened to him. Also, it has been confirmed that Falcon was built and came to the railway before Stanley, while Stuart was built and came to the railway before Stanley was turned into a pumping engine.
Stanley was the first and only engine of an American class in the Railway Series.
In the illustration of Stanley as a pumping engine, he is incorrectly depicted as a saddle tank and only having one dome. However, it's possible he was given a saddle tank as part of the conversion to a pumping engine, and as he would remain stationary, his sand dome was no longer needed.
According to Rev. W. Awdry in The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways, Stanley was never officially named Stanley as it was only his nickname. He is regularly referred to by his number (No.2).
In the illustration of Stanley as a pumping engine, he is seen with a cigarette in his mouth.
“No. 2", said Duke. "Was American and very cocky. He rode roughly and often came off the rails. I warned him to be careful!"
"Listen, bud!", he drawled. "In the States, we don't care a dime for a few spills!"
"We do here! I said, but he just laughed. But he didn't laugh when the Manager said he was going to take away his wheels and said he was going to make him useful at last."
"W-w-why? What did he do?!"
"He turned him into a pumping engine, that's what! He's still there behind our shed."

Craig Field (IATA: SEM, ICAO: KSEM, FAA LID: SEM) is a public airport four miles southeast of Selma, in Dallas County, Alabama. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility. It was previously the U.S. Air Force Craig Air Force Base, closed in 1977.
Craig Field covers 1,790 acres (720 ha) at an elevation of 166 feet (51 m). Its single runway, 15/33, is 8,002 by 150 feet (2,439 x 46 m) asphalt/concrete. In the year ending November 2, 2009 the airport had 38,550 aircraft operations, average 105 per day: 89% general aviation, 10% military, and 1% air taxi. 8 single-engine aircraft were then based at the airport.
The former USAF control tower from what was Craig Air Force Base remains, but as of 2007 it was unmanned, with UNICOM being used as a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF). Both parallel 8,000-foot (2,400 m) runways still exist, but only one is in use. The Craig VORTAC and the Instrument Landing System (ILS) for the current Runway 33 remain operational. The airport's military traffic is primarily Navy and USAF aircraft inbound to the L3 Communications/Vertex Aerospace facility.
The former military family housing was sold to individual owners shortly after base closure and has decayed, compared to its previous military occupants.
Multiple civilian government and corporate tenants have taken up residency. The former on base elementary school continues as the civilian-run Craig Elementary and the former base golf course continues as the Craig Golf Course and Driving Range. The Alabama Highway Patrol (AHP) also operates both its training academy and its headquarters for AHP's F Troop at Craig.
In 2015, Marine One used Craig Field when President Barack Obama visited Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Craig Field may never have had airline service; Selma's previous airport saw Delta, then Southern flights from 1952 to 1963.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Oklahoma Geological Survey have issued a rare Earthquake Warning for a potential magnitude 5 or above quake for the state of Oklahoma. How rare? This is the first earthquake warning ever for a location east of the Rocky Mountains.
183 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or higher were reported in Oklahoma between October of 2013 and mid-April 0f 2014. Up to 2008, the long term average was just 2 a year.
The surveys say that past experience has shown that clusters of smaller earthquakes often precede a quake of magnitude 5 or stronger. Oklahoma experienced a damaging 5.6 magnitude earthquake in 2011. 14 homes were destroyed and two people were injured.
Scientists are studying a possible correlation between the increasing use of deep injection wastewater wells used in connection with hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry and the increase in the frequency of earthquakes in Oklahoma and elsewhere.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a very good earthquake preparedness website .
In addition the USGS has preparedness tips.
A consortium of organizations from earthquake prone California has a seven step preparedness guide.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency has a downloadable game that can help families learn about earthquakes together.
Earthquakes can and do occur in every one of the 50 states so the current situation in Oklahoma provides an opportunity to review our personal, family, institutional and business plans.

Your wedding DJ will assume an imperative job on the day you wear your luxury wedding dress—and it’s in reality something other than playing music to fill the dance floor. Indeed, a wedding DJ has numerous employments to do, some of which you’ll see, others that are progressively under-the-radar.
That is the reason enlisting an all-around checked on expert is absolutely justified, despite all the trouble (which means, making a Spotify playlist, connecting your iPhone to certain speakers, and considering it daily truly won’t cut it).
Here are the things you presumably didn’t know your rockstar wedding DJ can do—besides playing major tuneage, that is.
While your wedding organizer, as well as venue, will probably lead the pack on making your big day course of events, an accomplished DJ will positively contribute, since he/she knows to what extent certain pieces of the gathering will take.
Additionally, your wedding DJ is in charge of executing and authorizing the course of events amid your gathering, influencing declarations to guarantee that occasions to happen on time and if there are any hold-ups, modifying likewise.
Having top-notch, working sound gear is an outright should—and your wedding DJ will have that all secured. Without receivers, speakers, and so forth, your guests won’t most likely hear your first presentation as a wedded couple, the verses to your first-dance melody, your best man’s toast, the declaration that supper is being served, or that the last dance is being played.
While we do prescribe procuring an organization that spends significant time in lighting for progressively broad needs, many wedding DJs offer uplighting as a feature of their administrations. Uplighting comprises of littler lighting frameworks that can be set on the floor and point light upwards to feature your tables and dance floor.
Converse with your wedding DJ to check whether this is something that can be incorporated into your bundle, or in case you’re more qualified to enlist an expert lighting organization.
There are a couple of things more irritating amid a wedding gathering than music that is excessively noisy, excessively delicate, or muted, or the direst outcome imaginable, dead air because of breaking down gear.
Not exclusively do experienced wedding DJs use first class, best in class gear, they likewise do sound checks at your venue a long time before the gathering starts to guarantee that everything is working appropriately so there won’t be any ungainly hush.
Certainly, you could improve a wedding DJ’s job by saying he/she “plays the music.” But it’s extremely about something beyond choosing and playing tunes. A wedding DJ sets the tone for your gathering by playing the correct tunes at the correct occasions and perusing the group in like manner.
On the off chance that you need your gathering to be an all-out rager, they’ll realize the correct tunes to place guests in a moving state of mind. On the other hand, if your objective is a gathering with an old-school sentimental feel, your DJ will realize how to make that vintage vibe. What’s more, a gifted wedding DJ knows precisely how to pack the dance floor if your guests are getting excessively agreeable in their seats.
Your wedding DJ can be an extraordinary wellspring of exhortation in case you’re attempting to pick tunes for any of your uncommon dances. An accomplished DJ has seen direct which tunes work and which don’t and is state-of-the-art on the most current tunes.
That is the reason it’s essential to meet with your wedding DJ (face to face, if conceivable!) half a month prior to your wedding to make your tune chooses and don’t play list. Obviously, your DJ will have a broad library of melodies you (or your guests!) can ask for, however, the key is knowing whether they’re proper and when to play them.
Emcee might be the most imperative job your wedding DJ will play. Think about your DJ as the host, voyage executive, and go-to person throughout the night, making declarations and guaranteeing that your guests know about what’s happening and what’s straightaway.
Having your wedding DJ fill in as emcee is undeniably more definitive and expert than you endeavoring to yell “Time for supper!” over the impacting music. Your guests are bound to pursue headings from an accomplished wedding DJ and will look to your DJ (rather than you or your new life partner) for data, so your huge day will continue easily and you can concentrate on getting a charge out of consistently!
Stressed your first dance melody may be a bit excessively long? Your wedding DJ has got you secured! Need to begin your dad little girl dance with a moderate tune and afterward shock your guests by cutting into a Michael Jackson top pick?
A DJ can make a custom remix only for you. Many wedding DJs are gifted at making mashups, remixes, and altering tune lengths to meet your requirements—simply inquire!
Things may turn out badly on your big day, yet luckily, wedding DJs are geniuses at getting things in the groove again. Suppose supper is running marginally behind timetable. Your DJ can play an additional couple of melodies with the goal that guests are too bustling moving to mind that the sustenance’s not prepared.
Or then again perhaps your father is in the bathroom when he should give his toast. Your DJ can cover until he’s accessible. Your guests won’t see any possibly ungainly setbacks when you have an expert wedding DJ in charge.

In a short period of time, secretsundaze became the hottest ticket in London and within a short time all over Europe including the Ibiza season, Sonar in Barcelona and international events featuring world-famous DJs. Producer, composer, DJ, remixer and music critic, Giles Smith is multi-talented and his style is focused around deep house and techno with a warm, hypnotic feel. However his sets draw on many styles from Chicago to Detroit to more modern European influences. Secretsundaze co-founder and co-resident James Priestly is fortunately also on the decks tonight. James has a distinct djing style, playing broadly what you would describe as deep house & techno, often borrowing from his freestyle background, preferring to move things around rather than follow one linear groove. Smith and Priestley‘s “Secretsundaze mix” series received critical acclaim internationally and their Secretsundaze parties are among the most famous in the world. Both have invited A Sagittariun to the decks. Via the Elastic Dreams label, A Sagittariun has issued a handful of 12” discs, each one armed with breadth and sustenance, exploring the outer reaches of deep and thoughtful electronic music, where possible accompanied by a message of hope. Using the dream process as a springboard for musical activity, A Sagittariun has indulged in astrological techno, spiritual house music, bass heavy dub rhythms and ambient paths, culminating in the debut album, ‘Dream Ritual’, released on the first day of the Sagittarius’ zodiac timeframe, 2013. The vast techno soundscapes of Sweden’s Lodbrok can be heard from the basement Tresor Floor turntables, music that is at once futuristic and evocative at the same time. Eclectic, creative, curious and involving, Antonio De Angelis has a unique style that transmits passion and adrenaline, dreams and emotions. Antonio is another artist from Emmanuel Ternois’ Children of Tomorrow project in London. Featuring strong house roots with contemporary techno and deep inflections, he often collaborates with Arnaud Le Texier, most notably and recently in their project Detect Audio. Dutch artist Charlton’s inventive style of producing tracks combined techno from “the old days” with his own dark off-beat rhythms. Adding nasty razor-sharp and hypnotizing acid basslines to this creating a truly unique, ‘Charlton’ sound had a great impact on Dutch techno scene. He was soon playing all over the place with with gigs and residencies across Holland and has since then played at various cutting-edge parties such as Awakenings, Heroes of Techno, Q base, Detatched etc. Now based in London, his first ever EP “Slowdown Basterd” received top reviews when it came out in August 2010 on M_Rec. Synthek is a DJ and producer, as well as label owner of Natch Records anda Tresor Club resident. Always delivering strong and powerful sets, Synthek is characterised by solid mixing skills sharpened through many years of experience behind the decks.

An exciting young entrepreneur launched her range of ethical handbags in M&S last year after having taken part in Marie Claire’s Inspire & Mentor campaign, in association with The Prince’s Trust.
Claire Watt-Smith, 27, was chosen from hundreds of candidates who applied to be mentored by Kate Bostock, executive director of general merchandise at Marks & Spencer.
As founder and managing director of BoBelle Ltd, an accessories company that manufactures fair-trade products using recycled and organic materials, Claire made her mark by mixing ethical business with fashion in a stylish and unique way.
The handbags were, unusually, made out of eel skin, which is a by-product of the Asian food industry. Many Asian countries eat eels, but discard the skins, which are softer, yet stronger, than traditional leather.
Claire worked for an accessory firm before deciding to go it alone. After creating a successful company under her own steam she was wondering how to take it to the next level and applied to take part in our mentoring programme.
Claire met up with Kate at M&S HQ for hour-long mentoring sessions, during which Kate advises on styles and graphics and suggests ways to help the brand grow.
‘Kate has helped me so, so much and opened up a whole new world for me,’ said Claire. ‘She hasn’t just supported me with the BoBelle for M&S Autograph launch, but also helped with finding and auditing the factory, securing a certificate authenticating the ethical side of things, putting me in contact with press, and helping with online sales.
BoBelle London for M&S Autograph is in store now. See www.bobelle.co.uk for more information.

The Forum Shopping Centre, in Wallsend, where VODA will be holding their Volunteer Recruitment Fair.
Residents interested in becoming a volunteer are being invited to an event this week.
North Tyneside Voluntary Organisations Development Agency (VODA) is holding a free Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Saturday, at The Forum Shopping Centre, Wallsend, between 10am and 3pm.
The drop-in event will feature information stalls and displays by a number of organisations, including Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, RNIB, Active North Tyneside, St Oswald’s, Meadow Well Connected, Healthwatch and Blind Veterans, all of which involve volunteers in their work.
Members of VODA’s team will also be on hand to answer any general queries.
For more information visit www.voda.org.uk or call 0191 643 2626.
Keith Hardy, core services manager at VODA, said: “New Year is a great time to take on a challenge and start a new volunteering role.
“There are lots of misconceptions about being a volunteer. Many people think that volunteering is limited to litter picking or helping out in a charity shop, but there is a huge range of other opportunities in North Tyneside.
“We want to show people that volunteering can take so many different forms and bring about real benefits to those involved.
“Volunteering can increase your skills and employability, improve your health and is a great way to meet new people.
“Whatever your interests and availability, there is a volunteering role to suit you.
North Tyneside resident Richard Giles has recently found helping others with their online benefit applications a particularly rewarding experience.
Richard volunteers at North Tyneside Citizens’ Advice Bureau as part of VODA’s Social Action In North Tyneside (SAINT) project.
He said: “Having some spare time on my hands and wanting to do something useful, I approached VODA last September to see what they might suggest.
“The wonderful team there directed me to a new VODA initiative working with those applying for Universal Credit and this has proved most rewarding.
“I have found it a real pleasure to be part of the small team who, after basic training and with superb support from VODA, spend one morning a week with people making applications for Universal Credit, some of whom have hit hard times, but many of whom find themselves a little lost in the face of all they are required to do.
“It is a privilege to sit down with them, hear their stories, and lend a helping hand.

Jalandhar: Lovely Professional University stood tall and proud when it conferred its honoris causa doctorate degree upon Hon’ble President of India Padma Vibhushan Shri Pranab Mukherjee at its 8th annual Convocation held today. It is indeed a rare occasion for any of the universities when First Citizen of the country acknowledges its honoris causa doctorate degree. It is 7th such a bestowing, and prior to this six great leaders of the world including Presidents and Prime Ministers of Afghanistan, Mauritius, Kingdom of Lesotho, Commonwealth of Dominica, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatsosix have also been recipients of honoris causa doctorate degrees of LPU.
On this occasion, Hon’ble President Mukherjee also bestowed Ph D Degrees, 38 gold medals and 164 Awards upon meritorious LPU students for their outstanding academic & research performances. It was second time that LPU was honoured to receive the President of India at the campus at its convocation, as Shri Pranab Mukherjee has already graced LPU’s 3rd Convocation in the year 2013. Governor of Punjab Shri VP Singh Badnore presided over the convocation.
While delivering convocation address President Mukherjee lauded the diversity at LPU campus.
