Holiday Home Owners in Lot Valley, Lot et Garonne (47), Tarn et Garonne (82), Lot (46) and Dordogne (24)

31 years’ experience

Kingfisher Holidays, established in 1987, is a holiday booking agency and is always looking for good quality properties with swimming pools to add to our portfolio of seasonal houses to let.

If you are considering letting, we would be delighted, with no commitment, to meet you and to see around your property. After 31 years we have a fair idea of the sort of property that appeals to tenants, the pitfalls of letting and the difficulty of pricing in a very competitive market. Kingfisher itself acts as a Booking Agent on behalf of Owners in return for a commission on lets achieved.

Over 50% of our tenants return

We advertise widely on suitable websites, magazines and newspapers with a much wider exposure than an individual Owner could afford for a single property. Nevertheless, having achieved a strong data base of tenants over the years, over 50% of our tenants are people who know Kingfisher Holidays and/or have stayed in one of the properties we offer in previous years. These tenants know the sort of property we let and know that we hate negative surprises as much as they do. We try to ensure that a tenant knows in advance of booking what to expect including anything that they wish to avoid as far as we can given the stated requirements.

Owners remain free to let their property themselves

If you already let your property yourself but would like to fill empty weeks, we can probably help. We do not require any exclusivity and will block off weeks that an Owner does not want us to let on their behalf. However, in order to avoid double bookings, we do need to act as the only booking point or office. As we let about 60+ properties, it is impossible for us to contact Owners whenever we receive an enquiry and tenants require an immediate answer when they choose a property that suits them. Any delay results in the enquirer booking elsewhere. As the only booking office, Owners need to check with us whether their property is available before using it or letting it themselves and it is impossible for Owners to work with a competing letting Agency.

Quality and attracting return tenants

Seasonal letting has become increasingly competitive over the years and tenants now expect good quality properties, furniture and beds. If Owners wish, we are happy to advise how their property might be improved and attract more demand. The most successful properties are those that attract return tenants though this will inevitably take time to achieve and will depend on the tenant enjoying a trouble free holiday in a comfortable property. Tenants are less keen on properties where the Owner lives on site and prefer private swimming pools.

Tenants often choose a property to rent by the photographs. It is very important that we are able to take photos in warm sun with leaves in the trees, swimming pools open, tidy interiors (including bedrooms ready for use and bath/shower rooms). If a photo appears not to attract tenants, we believe it is equally important and part of the way we work to take new ones in order to maximise rentals.

Managing the property

Kingfisher Holidays do not manage the properties and Owners need to appoint a good Manager (preferably English speaking) to look after their properties and deal with any problems speedily and efficiently that may arise.

Please contact us

If you are interested in discussing letting through us, we will be delighted to meet without any commitment, show you the Contract we use and to expand on anything that might be important to you.

Buying a Yacht from Abroad? What You Need to Know

Key Factor to Shipping Success: Experience
September 23, 2015
Shipping Trucks Overseas with International Shipping Services!
September 27, 2015
Show all

Despite downward trends from other industries, the boat business is in full swing.  There are more people ordering customized yachts than ever before, and much of that trend is coming from abroad.  If you are buying a yacht abroad, here are a few things you need to know before you go any further.

Consider the shipping as a critical part of the price.  This doesn’t mean you should necessarily go for the lowest rate, though.  Anyone can go online and order a boat, so shipping is a very important part of the value process in purchasing a yacht abroad.
Consider where you are shipping from.  If this is the first time you have purchased a yacht and you are in Europe, for example, you probably want to look on the east coast rather than the west; otherwise your costs will be significantly higher.  This may seem like common sense, but many first time buyers make the critical mistake of not paying attention to the shipping location.
Be aware of the timing of your purchase.  Ocean carriers have regular schedules, and some first time buyers find that they end up paying storage fees for a time waiting for an available carrier.  Timing is everything here.
Consider the reputation of the freight forwarder you’ve engaged.  The Internet is a good start in terms of checking customer service, but you need to follow up on serious references.  After all, this is an important purchase.

The best way to get the logistics right is to use a logistical expert. Whether you are shipping a yacht, speed or sailboat, pontoon, fishing boat or any other kind of cruiser, there is a shipping strategy to fit your budget and your needs.  Let K International take the headache out of the planning.

Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Gerard David
Oudewater? – Bruges 1523
oil on panel
81 x 99 cm
Inventory Number 47

Gerard David settled in Bruges in 1484. Like Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling before him, he would become one of the town's most prominent artists. David moved forward with the times, painting not only for large institutions or members of the aristocracy, but also to sell to a wider public in the open market. To cater for the tastes of his clientele, he produced numerous pictures featuring the Holy Virgin. The panels were conveniently sized, so that they would fit into any interior.
In this particular example, entitled Rest on the Flight into Egypt, Mary is breastfeeding the infant Jesus at the edge of a wood in a rocky landscape. A little further in the background, Joseph is resting and the couple's mule is grazing. The notion that Jesus was dependent on his mother's milk reveals his human nature, which is further emphasised by the child's almost naked body. This focus on the human aspect of Jesus was intended as an encouragement for all those who wished to emulate his example.

Desert woodland

The woodland in the right of the picture is a metaphor for God’s dominion over all things living. It is also a place for hermits and monastic orders to retreat to for meditation and to come closer to God. Hence this rather ‘Northern’ version of the Biblical desert.

Visions of tulips dance in my head

Sherri Gardner HowellFarragut, Feature

I have a dream. It’s a vision, really, because I can see it so very clearly in my mind’s eye.

In the spring of 2019, cars will be lining up to get into the subdivision where I live. Word will spread via KnoxTnToday and Facebook, and HGTV will be knocking on my door.

“The tulips!” they will all say. “How beautiful! How glorious! However did you…”

I will be modest, but proud. “Oh, just a few bulbs I picked up on our travels,” I will say, cooling myself with my fan as my Downton Abbey gown flows around me. “They do quite nicely here in Tennessee, don’t you think?”

And then I will know that I, Sherri Gardner Howell, will have broken the curse of my black thumb.

My husband and I just spent six glorious days in Amsterdam. April is absolutely the best time to go to Holland. The weather was beautiful, and the tulips were beyond description. To see the tulips, we took a trip to Keukenhof Gardens, appropriately called “the Garden of Europe” in Lissa, Holland.

The gardens cover 79 acres and are home to approximately 7 million flower bulbs, mostly tulips,

Examples of the rows of colorful tulips at Keukenhof Gardens in Lissa, Holland

but some daffodils and hyacinths. They pay homage to all styles of gardens – from the meandering landscape English gardens to water gardens, country style and a Japanese garden. Outside of Keukenhof but visible from the gardens are privately-owned fields of tulips of every color imaginable. Every year, more than 1 million visitors come to Keukenhof – all between mid-March and early May.

The trip to Keukenhof was on my “must do” list for Amsterdam, thanks to photos my younger son, Brett, brought home from his semester-abroad in Holland. My husband was a bit surprised, as I am not usually a garden person. I will spend an hour in front of a Monet painting, but skirt the outside of Biltmore Gardens, retiring to tea on the porch while he lingers and marvels at the landscaping.

But Keukenhof inspired me. It really is hard to describe how beautiful those colorful tulips waving in the gentle breezes are. The color schemes the gardeners created were amazing. As I sat beneath the windmill, waiting to board a little boat for a canal tour, I plotted my own Keukenhof garden.

As we prepared to leave the gardens, I took the first step. “I don’t have a souvenir from here,” I innocently told my husband. “Let’s stop here…”

As I pored through the book of bulbs, taking note of color and height and figuring out all those little symbols like sun/partial sun/shade next to the bulbs, I saw my vision take shape.

Never mind that the last time I planted bulbs, I planted them in more mulch than dirt and the moles ate them.

Never mind that I have been known to plant bulbs upside down, too early and in too much shade.

I have 48 orange and 48 white bulbs being shipped to me straight from Keukenhof in September. Orange and White. In Knoxville. Planted in September.

It’s destiny.

Researcher Says Aaron Hernandez’s Brain Showed Signs Of Severe CTE

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in a Boston courtroom days before he hanged himself in his prison cell.

The Boston researcher who examined the brain of former football star Aaron Hernandez says it showed the most damage her team had seen in an athlete so young.

Hernandez, whose on-field performance for the New England Patriots earned him a $40 million contract in 2012, hanged himself in a prison cell earlier this year while serving a life sentence for murder. He was 27 years old.

Dr. Ann McKee, a neuropathologist who directs research of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, at Boston University, said her research team found Hernandez had Stage 3 CTE and that they had never seen such severe damage in a brain younger than 46 years old.

McKee announced her findings at medical conference on Thursday in Boston where she spoke publicly for the first time.

Among the lingering questions in the sports world and among brain researchers is, why did a young man with wealth, fame and a potentially bright athletic career ahead of him kill a friend and wind up in prison?

"We can't take the pathology and explain the behavior, but we can say collectively that individuals with CTE of this severity have difficulty with impulse control, decision-making, aggression, often emotional volatility, and rage behavior," said McKee as quoted by the Boston Globe.

McKee, who has pioneered research in brain injuries at BU's CTE Center, had previously issued a dispassionate stick-to-the-facts statement in September confirming that Hernandez had CTE Stage 3, (with Stage 4 being the most severe). At the time, Hernandez's attorney, Jose Baez, announced the filing of a lawsuit against the National Football League and the New England Patriots, alleging that they "failed to disclose, treat or protect" against the dangers of repetitive injuries to the former tight end's brain.

The organ appeared normal when the BU researchers received it in April, reports the New York Times. But after they sliced it in about half-inch sheaths, they found evidence of brain atrophy and damage to the frontal lobe. McKee showed slides comparing Hernandez's brain to one without CTE. The differences in the two samples, reports the Washington Post, left some physicians and conference attendees gasping in reaction.

But McKee acknowledged that her researchers rarely get a chance to study the brain of someone of Hernandez's age, so no conclusions could be drawn about whether his damaged brain was similar to those of other 27-year-old football players. But his brain is clearly at the severe end of the spectrum for his age group, said McKee.

"There is a concern that we're seeing accelerated disease in young athletes. Whether or not that's because they're playing more aggressively or if they're starting at younger ages, we don't know. But we are seeing ravages of this disease, in this specific example, of a young person," she said, as quoted by the Post.

McKee also said that Hernandez was born with a genetic marker associated with neurodegenerative diseases and that could have contributed to his CTE.

It's four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister, Donna Jo, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts, Ennis and Della, with sidesplitting results.

Lakers Exercise Team Options On D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr.

Lakers Exercise Team Options On D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr.

The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the best young cores in the NBA and the hope is that these players will be able to grow and develop together to form one of the league’s up-and-coming teams. D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., and Brandon Ingram form the foundation of this Lakers team.

Clarkson has already received his payday and Ingram is only a rookie so he has many years left with the franchise as well. The Lakers have now made the expected moves to make sure the other three stay around as well.

The Lakers officially announced that they have picked up the options on Russell, Randle, and Nance for the 2017-18 season:

The Los Angeles Lakers have exercised their team options for the 2017-18 season on forwards Larry Nance Jr. and Julius Randle, and guard D’Angelo Russell, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.

For Randle, this would be his fourth-year option which is his final one. After next year Randle will become a restricted free agent. For Russell and Nance that would mark their third-year options. The Lakers still hold another team option for each of their fourth years as is normal for first-round draft picks.

These are very much obvious and expected moves to make for the Lakers. Russell is the team’s point guard of the future and is looking like a prime candidate for a breakout season this season. Randle has been praised by the coaching staff for the work he has put in throughout the offseason and Nance has continued to be one of the Lakers’ best all-around players this preseason.

The Lakers foundation has the chance to be very special as the develop and the Lakers are making sure they stay together for the foreseeable future. This is just more reason for fans to get excited.

How I started 17 years ago

This is how I started 17 years ago, with an old Pentax film camera.

I photographed my brother’s wedding in Henley and had loads of compliments on my style, so developed my business and do a few elite weddings a year and loads of portrait sessions.

I always love being part of a very special day and capturing treasured memories.

About me

I have been a professional photographer for 17 years.

I specialize in location, lifestyle photography in Reading and the surrounding area.
My photographs are unposed and real and always use natural light.
My goal is to capture you and your loved ones as you are. It means you get to be yourself and have a fun and relaxing experience!

My initial motivation and inspiration was capturing memories of my children.
The photographs I have taken of them over the past  years are treasures to me.

These are the things that inspire me:

Big round eyes
burpy grins, first smiles and belly laughs
wrinkles on a newborn’s back
toes and peachy little bums
a leftover tear
a shy grin
curly locks
thoughtful expressions
yawns and thumb sucking
bare feet and tiny toes
funny expressions
childhood is a time to savour and capture
for these are the days to treasure

I also love the sun, the seasons, picnics, swimming, walking and playing guitar and ukulele.
I have a childish nature and love running in the rain, throwing autumn leaves and having fun.

I hope your photos bring you joy for years to come!

For the Birds Radio Program: Big Day 1995

Original Air Date: June 2, 1995

What kind of person gets up at 2:30 in the morning to go birding and doesn’t quit until almost 11 at night? 4:06

Audio missing

The jolliest birding event of the spring is the Big Day—the day when birders team up to see as many birds as they can in a 24-hour period. Duluth Audubon sponsors our Big Day as a fundraising birdathon for Hawk Ridge—the bravest birders ask for donations per species seen, and the rest of us cough up $20 ourselves to participate. My team this year was a new one made up of Gary, Tony, and me. Big Days are competitive, and we had our work cut out for us as an expansion team against such seasoned veteran groups as the Tall Boys and the Weasels.

I got up at 2:30 to be at Tony’s by 4. We made his yard the starting point since it’s in the middle of a great swamp where it’s possible to hear rails and Saw-whet Owls. Unfortunately, we scheduled this year’s Big Day for the windiest Saturday of the month—maybe the century—and birds apparently figured singing wasn’t worth the effort against the wind. No rails, but we did hear a Killdeer—our first bird of the day—along with one bittern, a robin, a couple of dueling Song Sparrows, and, after playing a recording over and over, a very brief Saw-whet Owl tune.

The wind and cold weather caused an interesting phenomenon—birds flooded along the North Shore going the wrong way. It felt exactly like an October day—leafless trees, cool temperatures, and birds moving south on a blustery northwest wind. Bazillions of warblers winged past at Stoney Point, virtually all unidentifiable as they zipped by at full speed without lingering for even a glimpse. Little by little, we filled in our checklist, but by day’s end we had only 17 species of warblers and a single vireo when we were shooting for at least 20 warblers and four or five vireos. Our best sighting of all was a female Wood Duck sitting in a tree. Her mate flew in nearby and the bright sun showed his incredible breast spotting to perfection.

One by one we found new birds, but although we never had a completely dry period, neither did we have any incredible waves of cooperative singers or warblers feeding in the trees. The wind was so fierce at the dikes at 40th Avenue West in Duluth that our eyes were pelted with grit and we were almost blown away. It was virtually impossible to hold binoculars steady enough to identify the plovers in the ponds, but Terry Wiens’s bicycling team managed to pick out a longspur among the Chipping Sparrows literally blowin’ in the wind. Birders make lots of pishing calls to attract birds in for better looks, and since Terry’s team was on bikes, they called themselves the Pedal Pishers.

We wended our way through the harbor and along the St. Louis River, and then went down to the Floodwood Sewage Ponds where we saw lots of neat things, including one Wilson’s Phalarope at the water’s edge, lots of singing Bobolinks, and hundreds of swallows darting and weaving above the ponds along with three Black Terns and one kestrel acting like a nighthawk. I suspect all the swallow activity seemed so fun that the kestrel simply joined in—it clearly wasn’t hunting. We didn’t make it to the Sax-ZIm Bog until late in the afternoon, and by then things were absolutely silent, but we found a magpie at the Meadowlands sewage ponds, two Gray Jays on the road, and our only Hermit Thrush.

We ended up in fifth place, with 117 species, knowing we’d have won easily if only we’d started out at the bog, or timed some of our stops differently, or the wind wasn’t blowing, or… Well, anyway, it wasn’t a bad finish for an expansion team.

Christmas Is Love

Brothers and sisters, what a beautiful sight you are. It is a privilege each year to begin my Christmas season with you at this, the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. I express my love to all of you, whether you are present here in this building or listening to these proceedings through other means.

The Christmas season, with its special meaning and beauty, often prompts a tear, inspires a renewed commitment to God, and provides—borrowing the words from the lovely song “Calvary”—“rest to the weary and peace to the soul.”

However, it is easy to get caught up in the pressure of the season and perhaps lose the very spirit in our lives that we’re trying to gain. Overdoing it is especially common this time of the year for many of us. The causes for this might include too many Christmas activities to attend, too much to eat, too much money spent, too many expectations, and too much tension. Often our efforts at Christmastime result in our feeling stressed out, wrung out, and worn out during a time we should feel the simple joys of commemorating the birth of our Savior.

Finding the real joy of Christmas comes not in the hurrying and the scurrying to get more done, nor is it found in the purchasing of gifts. We find real joy when we make the Savior the focus of the season. We can keep Him in our thoughts and in our lives as we go about the work He would have us perform here on earth. At this time, particularly, let us follow His example as we love and serve our fellowman.

A segment of our society desperately yearning for an expression of love is found among those growing older, and particularly when they suffer from pangs of loneliness. The chill wind of dying hopes and vanished dreams whistles through the ranks of the elderly and those who approach the declining side of the summit of life.

Wrote Elder Richard L. Evans some years ago: “What they need in the loneliness of their older years, is in part at least, what we needed in the uncertain years of our youth: a sense of belonging, an assurance of being wanted, and the kindly ministrations of loving hearts and hands; not merely dutiful formality, nor merely a room in a building, but room in someone’s heart and life. …

“We cannot bring them back the morning hours of youth. But we can help them live in the warm glow of a sunset made more beautiful by our thoughtfulness, by our provision, and by our active and unfeigned love.”1

My brothers and sisters, true love is a reflection of the Savior’s love. In December of each year we call it the Christmas spirit. You can hear it. You can see it. You can feel it.

Recently I thought back to an experience from my boyhood—an experience I have related on another occasion or two. I was just 11. Our Primary president, Melissa, was an older and loving gray-haired lady. One day at Primary, Melissa asked me to stay behind and visit with her. There the two of us sat in the otherwise empty chapel. She placed her arm about my shoulder and began to cry. Surprised, I asked her why she was crying.

She replied, “I can’t seem to get the Trail Builder boys to be reverent during the opening exercises of Primary. Would you be willing to help me, Tommy?”

I promised Melissa that I would. Strangely to me, but not to Melissa, that ended any problem of reverence in Primary. She had gone to the source of the problem—me. The solution was love.

The years flew by. Marvelous Melissa, now in her 90s, lived in a nursing facility in the northwest part of Salt Lake City. Just before Christmas I determined to visit my beloved Primary president. Over the car radio I heard the song “Hark! The herald angels sing glory to the newborn King!”2 I reflected on the visit made by wise men those long years ago. They brought gifts of gold, of frankincense, and of myrrh. I brought only the gift of love and a desire to say thank you.

I found Melissa in the lunchroom. She was staring at her plate of food, teasing it with the fork she held in her aged hand. Not a bite did she eat. As I spoke to her, my words were met by a benign but blank stare. I took the fork in hand and began to feed Melissa, talking all the time I did so about her service to boys and girls as a Primary worker. There wasn’t so much as a glimmer of recognition, far less a spoken word. Two other residents of the nursing home gazed at me with puzzled expressions. At last one of them spoke, saying, “Don’t talk to her. She doesn’t know anyone—even her own family. She hasn’t said a word in all the time she’s been here.”

Luncheon ended. My one-sided conversation wound down. I stood to leave. I held her frail hand in mine, gazed into her wrinkled but beautiful countenance, and said, “God bless you, Melissa. Merry Christmas.” Without warning, she spoke the words, “I know you. You’re Tommy Monson, my Primary boy. How I love you.” She pressed my hand to her lips and bestowed on it a sweet kiss filled with love. Tears coursed down her cheeks and bathed our clasped hands. Those hands that day were hallowed by heaven and graced by God. The herald angels did sing. The words of the Master seemed to have a personal meaning never before fully felt: “Woman, behold thy son!” And to His disciple, “Behold thy mother!”3

From Bethlehem there seemed to echo the words:

How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of his heav’n.

No ear may hear his coming;

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him, still

The dear Christ enters in.4

President David O. McKay said: “True happiness comes only by making others happy. … The [spirit of] Christmas … makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship and prompts us to kind deeds of service. It is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”5

There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. It is the time to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart—and our neighbors as ourselves. It is well to remember that he who gives money gives much; he who gives time gives more; but he who gives of himself gives all.

Let us make Christmas real. It isn’t just tinsel and ribbon, unless we have made it so in our lives. Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. It is peace because we have found peace in the Savior’s teachings. It is the time we realize most deeply that the more love is expended, the more there is of it for others.

There’s Christmas in the home and church,

There’s Christmas in the mart;

But you’ll not know what Christmas is

Unless it’s in your heart.

The bells may call across the snow,

And carols search the air,

But oh, the heart will miss the thrill

Unless it’s Christmas there.6

As the Christmas season envelops us with all its glory, may we, as did the Wise Men, seek a bright, particular star to guide us to our Christmas opportunity in service to our fellowman. May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender, caring heart as our gift to the Savior. And may one and all have a joy-filled Christmas. In the sacred and blessed name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Does Stress Cause Pimples?

This Does Stress Cause Pimples? video also includes:

After this video, make sure to give a pop quiz on pimples! The question that is answered is whether or not pimples are caused by stress. Stress hormones give our bodies what we need for a fight or flight, but what happens if we don't do either? The science behind pimple formation is clearly displayed with humorous diagrams and animations. This would be an informative inclusion in a psychology or biology class.

 LetsGoWander.World | And Then it Rained…

And Then it Rained…

February 05, 2018  •  2 Comments

A birds-eye view of Queenstown from the top of the gondola

Many parts of the south island have been in a drought for many months.  Everything looks pretty parched and temperatures have been above normal as well.  After several sweltering days visiting Queenstown, Arrowtown and Wanaka, we decided to take a bus to the west coast.

Taking a rest in ArrowtownTaking a rest in Arrowtown

Taking a break in scenic Arrowtown

On the morning of our departure, remnants of a tropical cyclone in the Tasman Sea started moving over the south island and broke the streak of hot, dry weather.

A view out the bus window – nothing but rain!

I imagine the bus ride would have been quite scenic if we could have seen anything outside the windows.  As we went, the rain picked up until we were driving through standing water with impromptu waterfalls cascading across the road.  When we arrived in the town of Haast, we were informed that the road was now closed in both directions.

Stuck in Haast for two daysStuck in Haast for two days

Going nowhere in Haast…

The west coast of the south island is quite remote.  There are many areas that remain virtually inaccessible.  State highway 6 is the only road that runs up and down the coast so when it is closed, communities are cut off.  Additionally, most of the area has no cell phone service.  After sitting on the bus for a few hours, it became apparent that we would be spending the night in Haast.

Haast calls itself a township, but I'd say that's a bit generous.  There is not much more than a gas station, a couple of motels, a pub, and a small store.  In addition to our bus, there were at least 5 other buses and a whole bunch of cars stranded in Haast, totaling about 700 people which is more than twice the normal population.  The motels were all full, so it looked like we would be sleeping on the bus.  Later in the evening, the rain had stopped and the weather had cleared some so Barry and I started scouting around for a place to pitch our tent which sounded like a better plan than sleeping on the bus.

Just as we were getting ready to implement the tent plan, a woman pulled up in a truck offering one more cottage to rent on her farm.  She had already taken a few people from our bus with her earlier, and no one had taken her up on the last cottage so we jumped at the chance.  As it turned out, it was a good thing that we didn't set up our tent.  That night, the wind picked up and blew all night long up to speeds of 90 mph or more.  I'm pretty sure our tent would have ended up as a pile of nylon shreds.  As it was, I kept expecting the roof to blow off the cottage all night long.  An old church in the area was completely destroyed by the winds that night and road crews had many downed trees to clear in addition to the landslides that had closed the roads the day before.

As it turned out, we ended up spending another night in Haast and finally were able to leave around noon on the third day.  We were pretty fortunate though - there were other towns along the west coast that were without power for several days and a group of drivers got stranded along a stretch of road between some downed trees and a landslide.  Also, the people of Haast were great hosts to their multitude of unexpected guests.

Since then, we have been treated to plenty of rain along the west coast which is covered in temperate rain forest.  I realize now that when the forecast says “50% chance of rain,” it means that there is a 100% chance that it will rain 50% of the time.

FERC has raised the price cap in Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) spot power markets from $400/MWh to $750/MWh, aligning it with the bid cap in place for the California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) spot markets. FERC also ordered that the WECC cap climb to $1000/MWh on April 1, 2011, when the CAISO price cap is likewise scheduled to rise to $1000/MWh.

The WECC price cap is “soft,” meaning that market participants can sell at prices above the cap when they can justify doing so. In its order FERC declined to specify exactly what would justify a WECC supplier exceeding the soft price cap, explaining that it could not “anticipate all of the possible reasons.” In contrast, the CAISO’s bid cap is “hard” and cannot be exceeded.

FERC instituted this proceeding in May 2010 to investigate the “potential for market distortions” created by the WECC-CAISO price-cap differential of $350/MWh that was then in effect. In ordering the investigation, the Commission cited the interdependency of the two markets and its concerns that the lower cap in the WECC could reduce supply options available to WECC purchasers. In June more than twenty interested parties intervened and/or filed comments. All commenters supported aligning the two price caps, agreeing that consistency was required to avoid market distortions.

The two caps were instituted in the wake of the California Energy Crisis of 2000-2001, but have not—until now—been adjusted in tandem.

Historical care "failings" case settled

Lancashire County Council has settled a social care case dating back nearly 20 years.
Lancashire County Council has settled a social care case dating back nearly 20 years.
Share this article

Lancashire County Council has settled a case, dating back nearly two decades, in which  social care services provided by the authority were found to have failed two of its residents.

The decision was taken in private by council leader Geoff Driver back in May, under powers given to him by the council’s constitution. He approved a recommendation made to settle the claim, relating to care provided by the county between the late 1990s and the year 2000.

A report to explain the so-called ‘key decision’ noted that it had to be implemented immediately, “as any delay could have adversely affected the execution of the county council’s responsibilities”.

But when the document was presented to a meeting of the full council, one member complained that it revealed “absolutely nothing” - and the authority’s chief executive agreed.

Labour’s Erica Lewis told fellow councillors that she had spoken to officers, who had explained the case to her in as much detail as they were allowed. But she added:

“I think it is quite a strange process to send a report to council which essentially says absolutely nothing. It was possible for officers to provide me with sufficient detail to address my question, without breaching any of the required confidentiality.”

Chief Executive Angie Ridgwell agreed with what she said was “a very good point”, before giving members more information about the case.

“The [full] report did contain extremely sensitive information about a legal case relating to significant failings in the social care provided to two people.

“Given the nature of the issue and the necessity to maintain the details of the legal proceedings [as] confidential, limited information was provided.

“But County Cllr Lewis is quite right - it was too limited and, moving forward, we will make sure we give the basic information so that members can at least understand the nature of the decisions being taken,” Ms. Ridgwell said.

The summary report shown to members explained that the full document contained information “likely to reveal the identity of an individual”.

“It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption [against publishing the details] outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information,” the report concluded.

Womens Fat Loss

Fat loss dieting - Eliminate belly fat

Womens fat loss has become more important the past ten years because of research findings showing a direct connection to Type II diabetes, heart disease/stroke, sleep apnea, and some forms of cancer.

Women know they need to eat less sugar and processed foods, get more exercise, and make positive lifestyle changes if they are to lose belly fat and thigh fat...yet, they do not do it.

The biggest factor is psychological. It is a blend of motivation and emotion that must be overcome in order to reach the fat loss goals we set for ourselves.

There is NO one fat loss secret for losing belly fat. The best diet for women is a comprehensive plan of nutrition and exercise.

However, unless you are attuned to the psychological forces assaulting your motivation, your best efforts to eliminate belly fat will be sabotaged.

Womens fat loss must be safe, sensible, and progressive

womens fat loss

The toughest thing to accept when you begin fat loss dieting is that is will be progressive...and it will take time. Weight gain does not happen all at once. It creeps up (while we stay in denial) until one day you look in the mirror and are shocked.

* You must accept that the fat WILL NOT come off immediately and that you must make decisive changes in your approach to food and physical activity.

* The answer to womens fat loss is NOT expensive (worthless) supplements, dangerous pills or elective surgery. Your fat loss plans must only include safe and sensible methods to get results.

* Athletes know it is much harder to get in shape, than it is to stay in shape. When women see a flabby, overweight reflection staring back at them in the mirror, discouragement is almost instantaneous because they wonder how on earth they can ever get rid of that much fat.

* In order for a woman to succeed in her fat loss plans, she must do whatever it takes to become mentally stronger and identify the emotions that conspire to rob her of her goal.

* Committing to a more positive lifestyle that centers on making good food choices sounds easy until you see people eating ice cream and drinking lattes without, seemingly, a care in the world.

* Always remember, you CANNOT compare what is going on outside you (your perceptions), with what is going on INSIDE (negative feelings about yourself) you. You will always lose this game. DO NOT play it. Do whatever it takes to stay away from this faulty feedback.

Womens fat loss first begins in the mind and is a lifelong commitment

womens fat loss begins in he mind You can begin feeling better about yourself and reaching your fat loss goals with a few simple changes while you research the best easy diet to begin your program.

* Start by eating an apple about 15 minutes before each meal. Not only is it providing nutritious elements, but it also will make you feel full and will reduce the amount of food you eat.

* Start drinking a cold glass of water when you wake up and with each meal. The benefits of drinking water cannot be overestimated.

* The easiest physical activity program is called "The 2-20" This means you will wake up, drink TWO glasses of water, do some light stretches, and go for a 20 minute walk. You can walk off belly fat with a committed effort. You DO NOT have to become an Olympic marathon runner.

* If you can envision each meal having one fruit, one vegetable, and one solid protein source (NOT a protein shake or bar), plus a glass of cold water, you will have a great start on your fat loss plans.

* The central key to womens fat loss is a commitment to intelligent nutrition and knowing exactly what you are eating, and how it will effect your body.

* Even if you cannot get to the gym more than once or twice each week, you can still be vigilant about staying away from sugars, processed foods, and bad carbs.

Womens fat loss is filled with psychological and emotional minefields. A lot of that stems from the vision that results will not be immediate and they will be difficult to achieve...while putting on fat was easy and mindless.

However, once you decide your commitment will be lifelong and you will not be swayed "how easy" Life looks to others, you will be well on your way to a life without fat.

The Diet Solution has been an effective program for womens fat loss

J.G. Ballard Quotes

HTML may be malformed and/or unbalanced and may omit inline images. Use at your own risk. Known problems are listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TextExtracts#Caveats.

James Graham Ballard. In the late 1960s, he produced a variety of experimental short stories, a story about symphorophilia and car crash fetishism, and High-Rise, a depiction of a luxury apartment building's descent into violent chaos.

While much of Ballard's fiction would prove thematically and stylistically provocative, he became best known for his relatively conventional war novel, Empire of the Sun, a semi-autobiographical account of a young British boy's experiences in Shanghai during Japanese occupation. Described by The Guardian as "the best British novel about the Second World War", the story was adapted into a 1987 film by Steven Spielberg starring Christian Bale. In the following decades until his death in 2009, Ballard's work shifted toward the form of the traditional crime novel. Several of his earlier works have been adapted into films, including David Cronenberg's controversial 1996 adaptation of Crash and Ben Wheatley's 2015 adaptation of High-Rise.

The literary distinctiveness of Ballard's fiction has given rise to the adjective "Ballardian", defined by the Collins English Dictionary as "resembling or suggestive of the conditions described in J. G. Ballard's novels and stories, especially dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments". The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry describes Ballard's work as being occupied with "eros, thanatos, mass media and emergent technologies".

The Best Time of Day to Post on Instagram

Maximize your exposure by posting at these times

instagram login screen

Is there really a best time of the day to post on Instagram so your photos and videos get more views, likes, and comments? Figuring this out can be a little bit tricky.

First of all, since Instagram is primarily accessed via a mobile device, users can take a quick glance at their Instagram feed anytime they want from almost anywhere. Posting, viewing, and interaction habits tend to be quite different on Instagram compared to other social networks, making it slightly harder to pinpoint when users are most active.

Oh, and there's one other huge thing that Instagram recently introduced.

The Instagram Algorithm and What It Means for Timeliness

Instagram is now rearranging users' feeds to show them what it thinks they want to see first rather than showing them all the most recent posts in the order of when they were posted. This algorithm means that you could post something at a particular time and still have it seen by many of your followers or perhaps hardly any of your followers at all, depending on how much or how little they interact with your content.

According to Instagram, the order of posts in users' feed will be based on the likelihood that they're interested in the posts, their relationships with the accounts they follow and the timeliness of the posts. So, although interaction now affects how posts show up in the feed, timeliness is still certainly relevant – perhaps just not quite as relevant as before the algorithm rollout.

What to Consider First

To figure out your own best time to post on Instagram, first take a look at these two major factors that will affect it:

Your target follower demographics: Adults who work the typical 9-to-5 job might be more likely to look at Instagram in the morning, whereas college kids who stay out late and pull all-nighters might be slightly more active on Instagram during those off hours. Identifying your target audience can be a first step toward figuring out what time of day they like to check Instagram.

Time zone differences: If you've got followers or a target audience from all over the world, then posting at specific times of day may not get you the same results as if you had followers who mostly all live around the same time zone. For example, if most of your followers are from North America living in the typical North American time zones of Pacific (PST), Mountain (MST), Central (CST), and Eastern (EST), you could start experimenting with starting to post on Instagram around 7 a.m. EST and stopping around 9 p.m. PST (or 12 a.m. EST).

Engagement patterns you've noticed: Make sure you pay close attention to any increases in interaction when you post at certain times of day. No matter what the research says or what the experts tell you about optimal times and days to post, what ultimately matters is the behavior of your own followers.

What the Research Says About Posting on Instagram at Specific Times

According to TrackMaven: By analyzing Instagram engagement habits on posts made by Fortune 500 companies in 2013, TrackMaven found that it didn't seem to matter what time the posts showed up on Instagram –  users engaged regardless of the time they were posted. Choosing specific times to post didn't make much of a difference in engagement results.

According to Later (formerly Latergramme): 61,000 posts were analyzed in 2015 and proved that 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. were among the best times of the day to post, with Wednesday being the best day to post (followed by Thursday). Engagement dropped significantly at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

According to Mavrck: After analyzing 1.3 million posts, Mavrck concluded in a 2015 report that midnight, 3:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. were the most popular times to post. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were the most popular days to post. Posting between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. during off hours when posting is low could work to your advantage because users are still browsing their feeds.

According to Hubspot: Using data collected from a variety of sources, Hubspot published an infographic in early 2016 revealing that the best time to post on Instagram is any time on Monday or Thursday except for the hour between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. (possibly because this is when the largest influx of posts occur, as noted above by Mavrck). Video posts apparently do best when they're posted at night between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Other specific times that were shown to work well for some posters included 2:00 a.m., 5:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Time Slots to Try

Despite all these different findings, you won't know exactly what works best until you start experimenting and keeping track of engagement results. Again, it all depends on your target audience and how you're using Instagram to connect with your followers.

You can start by experimenting with the following time slots in your time zone for posting on Instagram:

  • Mornings, 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Morning hours are a good time to post because everyone is just waking up. Most people can't resist checking their phones to see what they missed while they were asleep. After 9:00 a.m., however, you may see a bit of a drop in engagement due to regular work and school hours.
  • Midday, 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Around the lunch hour is when people get a break to do what they want; that often includes checking social media.
  • Evenings, 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. After school and work, people get the chance to relax. People may start checking their phones while they sit in transit or in front of the TV just before dinnertime. Just be aware that you may be better off posting earlier around 5:00 p.m. or later at 7:00 p.m. rather than right in the middle (6:00 p.m.) when a lot of people are commuting home from work or eating dinner.
  • Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays seem to have the highest engagement according to the research sources above. Track the number of likes and comments you get for each time slot and make adjustments as needed.

    Stick to Posting Videos After Work/School Hours

    Video interaction tends to differ slightly compared to photos posted on Instagram. If you really want your video to be viewed, limit posting video content to the evening hours or much later at night.

    When you think about it, it makes sense. Instagram videos need to be viewed in full by turning on the sound, which can be awkward if viewers are at work or at school. People are more likely to watch your video on their own time when they're less busy or at home.

    Interested in knowing what else you should do to maximize interaction on your Instagram posts? Check out these five Instagram trends that users are implementing to encourage more interaction.

The Caribbean's Coming To Lisburn

The Caribbean's Coming To Lisburn

June 8, 2018

On Saturday 16th June a Caribbean Carnival will take place at Penny Square, Lisburn from 12 noon and is open to everyone.

It will see Caribbean dancers, flame throwers, island music and authentic Caribbean food take over Penny Square.  This festival has been arranged to celebrate Penny Square’s newest addition to the foodie family ‘Mama Hazel’s Caribbean Cuisine’.

Alderman William Leathem, Chairman of the Council’s Development Committee, said: “The Council is pleased to support this free event that will be colourful, energetic and rhythmic in terms of Caribbean dancers, food and music.  Mama Hazel’s started as a Saturday market trader at Penny Square and has enjoyed the Square so much that she’s become a permanent resident in The Sunshine Shack at the entrance.

“Mama Hazel regularly serves up her signature Lentil and Coconut Curry, Jerk Chicken, Beef Patties and many more traditional Caribbean dishes on Tuesdays and Saturdays; and a special menu will be served at The Caribbean Carnival. Mama Hazel’s personality is as big as the flavours in her food so her company alone is worth the visit!

“Like Mama Hazel we would like to see this event well attended. It will be running until 8.00pm and will offer something for everyone.  This event has been designed to bring together people from different cultures and allow them to experience the Caribbean culture, sample good food and engage in conversation. We would encourage visitors to come dressed in traditional Carnival costume.”

Live music and Caribbean dancers will entertain families throughout the day from 12 noon. Mayte Blaauw, who specialises in teaching early years to dance, will be encouraging the children to join in and adults are more than welcome as well.

Visitors can also enjoy joining the Conga line or Limbo competitions that will take place randomly throughout the Carnival; and there will be fun prizes up for grabs. At 5.00pm a Reggae style DJ will take over until 8.00pm. The finale act David Blayze, a traditional flame thrower and fire spinner, will mesmerize visitors from 7.00pm – 8.00pm.

Alderman Allan Ewart MBE, Vice-Chair of the Council’s Development Committee added: “The Council throughout the year supports a number of initiatives that bring together different cultures to allow them to understand and appreciate them.  The Mama Hazel Caribbean Carnival will be a fun filled day that should leave everyone who attends feeling very cheery and wanting to reggae.”
