Is Your Body & Mind Ready For Winter?

Although winter time means plenty of celebrations and festivities, with Christmas and New Year all in the calendar, it can also be harder to stay motivated and inspired when it comes to healthy eating and fitness. During summer when we have longer days and nicer weather, many of us find it so much easier to keep on track but those cold temperatures and shorter days can have an impact on our lifestyle; throw in more parties, alcohol and indulgent food and we might not feel at our best!

In collaboration with Alive! (paid post), here are my winter wellness tips that work for me when prepping my body for the months ahead to stay and happy and healthy throughout winter.

I’m a big believer in how what you eat affects your mood, energy levels and general wellbeing – even your skin and hair – which is why I see food as medicine and nourishment as well as enjoyment. I’m super active so have a big appetite – I love having a decent amount of food on my plate and snack regularly to keep my energy levels up throughout the day to fuel my workouts, long walks, running around after a toddler, keeping a big house clean, working and blogging.

But I make sure that the bulk of what I eat is made up of wholegrains/slow-release carbs, a protein source like beans, tofu, nuts and seeds or Quorn (I’m not strictly veggie but I eat mostly plant-based), plus of course plenty of fruit and vegetables and some dairy or non-dairy alternatives. In winter, some of my favourite dishes include porridge for breakfast, a quick and easy rice dish for lunch, something like a veggie chilli (loaded sweet potato fries, YUM), and maybe even a warming fruit crumble for dessert!

Rubbish weather and dark mornings and nights can make it so tempting to want to stay indoors or snuggled up in bed in favour of going to the gym or out for a run. But don’t let this put you off! If I struggle, I force myself to and think how much better I’ll feel when I get indoors after bracing the cold. Music is also such a good motivator – create some playlists of your favourite tracks that really get you going, have your earphones ready and workout gear packed so you have no excuses if time is an issue!

Having the right clothing is important too, and with places like Primark selling a fantastic range of fitness wear, you don’t need to spend a fortune. Just make sure you have a good light rain jacket (even with high-vis marks on for when it’s dark), hat, gloves and decent trainers. I’m such a big believer in exercising for mental health – especially when SAD (seasonal affective disorder) might hit some of us, keeping up a good routine will help to get those endorphins and positive vibes going throughout winter.

I’ve always loved being outdoors from a young age, growing up in Yorkshire surrounded by nature, so this is a big part of my life and also Tom’s too. Wrap up warm, get your wellies on, prep some hot drinks in a flask and you’re good to go! Walk around a park, cycle in the woods, take little ones to an outdoor play area, run around with your dog, meet up with family or friends – and appreciate your surroundings: Look up at the trees, enjoy the crunch of the frost, observe wildlife. That’s one of the best parts no matter what the season, and I find it’s great to switch off and just be in the moment.

During the winter months, this vitamin can be lacking for the majority of us in the UK due to lack of sunshine. Vitamin D helps to support healthy bones and teeth, normal muscle function as well as immunity. Public Health England recommends that the UK population take a supplement of at least 10ug (micrograms) per day during the autumn and winter months.

This is why I take a supplement like Alive! Vitamin D3 Soft Jells, which contain a special formulation of Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus for maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to support immunity. With a delicious cherry flavour and made from only natural fruit flavours they are available from Boots, Holland and Barrett, Superdrug [currently on offer direct from Nature’s Way for just £9.99.]

Additional Offer:
For my readers, Alive! are offering FREE shipping (worth £3.50) as a discount of £3.50 on each single pack of Alive! Vitamin D3 Soft Jells sold via the Nature’s Way site.

– Apply code VITAMINDFREE at check out.
– Offer ends at midnight on 31st December 2018.

With life being so hectic and busy, it can be easy to put me time aside, but it’s always important to MAKE time. Whether it’s 10 minutes of meditation, having a soak in the bath, reading a book or listening to a podcast, however you like to relax, try and fit it into your schedule. Especially in the run up to Christmas which can be stressful and chaotic!

Keeping hydrated is essential for your overall health. But if drinking water seems dull, there are plenty of ways to make it a bit more exciting! I love hot drinks so I pretty much live off a mixture of coffee, herbal teas and hot water with sliced lemon and grated ginger during the winter months. Making a simple turmeric latte is one of my favourites too – simply whizz up any milk with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, black pepper and heat up until warm, it tastes insane and is packed full of goodness! You might like beetroot or matcha lattes for a change too.

Try to limit caffeine and alcohol, which is probably more of a challenge when parties and festivities pop up. Which is fine of course, it’s Christmas and New Year coming up! And it’s only for a month or so – but just be aware of balancing this with drinking plenty of water, herbal teas and soft drinks.

(REVIEW) The Boiled in Between, by Helen Marten

Front cover of The Boiled in Between by Helen Marten photoshopped onto a close up picture of green grass. The book has a white backgound with black lettering and ab astrct black line drawing of a cockeral and a man holding a chicken underneath.

In this review, Jess Payn teases out the elastic reworkings of body and form in Helen Marten's The Boiled in Between (Prototype Publishing, 2020), a novel that is a 'cosmos of the suburbs, but one that cultivates proximity to a play', with a bewildering sense of 'already having happened'.

Ruptured, spitting surfaces, molecules rubbed into gaseous transmutation: boiling names a breaking point, when liquid becomes atmosphere. In artist Helen Marten’s sliding, unruly novel, this state of bubbling agitation attaches not to water, blood or the passions, but bodies: ‘I was a sad sack of boiling cells sandwiched in their millions beneath two scrapes of dizzying blue.’ Individual organs: ‘My stomach, my brains, my great heaving heart still boiling away as though simmering in a dull vat of vegetables en route to becoming soup.’ And the wobbling, hot, naked form: ‘Stutters and curves of touch, his whole body so tightened in knots right then unwrapped, boiling.’ Like many of Marten’s elastic reworkings of image, ‘the boiled in between’ is a phrase mesmerised by substance, by the affinities between form, field and feeling. Fittingly, it brackets the novel, making a middle of everything in between, though the journey from hastily assembled fried food, ‘the grand scramble, the boiled in between’, to a dead dog lying in ‘a pool of stinking liquid […] marking out the difference between his dead and my boiling alive’ is open-ended enough to refuse the fixings of definition. ‘Between’ is an inaccessible space between objects or tenses. It’s a zone that doesn’t exist without surroundings. Somehow, ‘boiled’ cracks open this gap, enflaming the relationships between eating and sex, death and heat.

Marten has said of her art that she is ‘really interested in the point at which things become husked down to geometric memories of themselves, where a house, for instance, a pair of legs or a cat could be communicated with huge economy and speed via just a few lines.’ Like the sky in the novel, ‘fallen out, sky grey, sky mutton-clouded’, she reduces readymade form to leftovers, linguistic habit becoming a kind of ghost limb. The transference of metaphor, the alchemy by which one thing becomes representative of another, is often pleasurably warped in her work and similes are inclined to become untethered: ‘Always hips, those aching contours, pulling pleasure out of your coat like lovers’. As sculpture, this interest in ‘dissolved wonky semiotics’ plays tricks in two- and three-dimensions: ‘collage in a sense, but more staggering; something more like snooker,’ as she explains in an interview, ‘a knocking-on of things but done within an envelope of distinct logic.’ Marten won the Turner Prize in 2016 for her multi-media installations, but writing has always been important to her work — her most recent exhibition at Sadie Cole of eighteen untitled pencil and watercolour drawings was accompanied (or abandoned?) by eighteen fragments of a narrative. The Boiled in Between is her first full writing project, a year out of the studio.

The resulting book is a novel, a cosmos of the suburbs, but one that cultivates proximity to a play, its scaffolding visible by way of titled sections, which introduce varieties of dramatic monologue: ‘Ethan, A kneaded clod’, ‘Patrice, Busy (future perfect, feminine)’, ‘Messrs. External & peaty, Rotten earth’. Such demarcated chapters feel like entrances and exits, sometimes even stage directions (‘Patrice, Full of face’), and there’s a prologue to acquaint us with the set — a dismal return to the once conjugal home, ‘All the broken windows and propped doors are where we left them’ — as well as the speaking parts. The Messrs are first, a protean, plural voice of atmosphere and observation: ‘neither body nor air, but a silent streaming of temperature’. They self-describe as ‘instruments of psychic observation’ but aren’t to be mistaken for a nebulous mist. They understand bodies: ‘We like to feel the pulse of [time] beat about our temples and grab our wrists. On the soft underside where the skin thins and bruisy veins tangle hurt and beauty in lilac bundles’. Their opinions are hard-edged: both observer and observed, they ‘found’ Ethan and Patrice, a soon-to-be-divorced middle-aged pair, the other two voices of the book, and ‘bedded down to watch them squeal’.

Ethan has a soft spot for booze: ‘When he doesn’t drink a little he will crumble’, the Messrs. comment, that odd future tense reading as a kind of prophecy, and his first lines in the Prologue sound dejectedly drunk, as composure gives way to decomposition: ‘I offer this brain to you like shedding orange peel. It comes to you soft in the shape of a face and says here, welcome, have my skin, my looks, my point of view’. He is constantly seeking sex, reading it everywhere: ‘He’d have a few dirty thoughts aroused just by handling the butter on the table.’ He has an encounter which causes the split from Patrice, and imagines a subjunctive in which that error of nakedness is erased: ‘By keeping our clothes firmly on, by exposing as little flesh as possible, could we drop off into another tense? Into a past tense where what I did hasn’t happened yet quite simply because there was nothing exposed to see it.’ As indicated by its prepositional situatedness (‘in between’), Marten’s book likes to experiment with interims, including of time, undoing the familiar scaffolding of the past, present and future and of narrative as a concatenation of events. The novel takes place in the afterwards of Ethan and Patrice’s relationship, but that sense of ‘having already happened’ is always bewildered and undone.

Patrice, fittingly, likes things hidden and covered up. Her first words are ‘The absolute honest truth frightens me’, and her oblique points of reference are often to mould and foodstuffs: ‘They talk about pity as though it is a molecule to be steamed with asparagus.’ Her full name is Flora Dorthy Lily Patrice –– ‘A long and struggling vine’, the Messrs. remark –– but she has no patience for plant life, relating more readily to letters and fonts: ‘a serif hardness’. To Ethan, who glimpses her first in the supermarket gutting fish, she is known as Dorothy and then Dot: a punctuation mark in his life now ‘Rubbed out’.

The beginnings and crises of their relationship are gradually told to us: Ethan and Patrice never unfold themselves directly (this is not a book you read for its plot). Marten is as much interested in the architectural spaces of homes, in fluid, substance and the metaphors we assign to ‘stuff’ and every perceptible surface, as she is in delineating ‘human’ character. Or, rather, she’s drawn to exploding the assumed boundaries between the two. Her thinking is often ecological, acknowledging being as a mesh of jostling lifeforms: fundamentally relational and irreducibly strange. Patrice describes her mind as an organic lump abandoned to the elements:

I have my own perfect stew-like dribble of ideas and oak trees, all of them crusted over with fungal fruiting structures, with honey-coloured mushrooms and their caps slimy after rain. This is what a modern brain looks like: lesions and boulders and toothpicks jammed in the sides. This is modern life lived as a lost dog or one beetle fighting another for its ball of dung.

The momentum with which unlike forms are combined feels almost aphophenic (a dribble of oak trees?), but also speaks to Timothy Morton’s argument in Being Ecological that ‘ecological awareness gives you a world in which everything is relevant to everything else’. Mostly, though, the rhythm pulls towards the textures of animate and inanimate matter. Language becomes a bloated, flabby vessel, an unreliable but vital go-between. The ‘acuteness of being a body’ as well as ‘the grammatical problem of having a body’ (the book is, after all, not a play, making all embodiment a remote substitute) are both central preoccupations, where ‘body’ is itself understood loosely: a building, a house, even a puddle of milk on the floor (‘My own elastic materiality, my own rubbery guilt, it was all connected to this spilt milk’). As Ethan questions, ‘what is a body, anyway, when framed in words? A dough trough? A collapsing figure for poking and kneading? For baking, for burning, for pulling apart like a hot-pocketed roll?’ Marten wrings transformation from semantic coincidence, seeing the fatty, material potential in theoretically ordinary concepts; she is not afraid to push representation to the point of alienation or embarrassment.

While this may mean at times The Boiled in Between seems inscrutable, it is always intoxicatingly so. ‘I wanted to smear it over myself, to lose myself’ is Ethan’s reaction to a rotting sheep’s carcass, and the book thrives in that same space where disgust and delight meet. In a phrase that captures the tumult of this swampy, saturated plane, the novel is a ‘migraine of excitement’.

The Boiled in Between is out now and available to order via Prototype.

Sally Bibb: Biography highlights

Sally Bibb is an award-winning business author, keynote speaker and founding director of Engaging Minds, a strengths consultancy.

Known for:

Business Leaders

Full biography of Sally Bibb

She leads strengths-based organisational change work in Europe, USA and Asia, and has a track record of achieving transformational results for her clients.

Sally is one of the leaders of the global strengths revolution that’s transforming both the cultures of organisations and people’s lives. Her subject is relevant and now.

Sally brings a unique combination of insight, rigour and practical success in leading organisational transformation projects that have save organisations millions and make an astonishing impact on metrics such as employee engagement, staff turnover, productivity, sick rates and customer service.

As a senior leader, entrepreneur and consultant she has a depth of understanding of how to unlock people’s talents to make organisations great.

Her career has taken her from the heady heights of being a director at The Economist where she was challenged as a leader of two major organisational transformations: digital transformation and creating a global, collaborative sales force. She was also called to raise her communications game by starting her career as an author. Her appetite for transformation was whetted and she wanted to try her hand at helping other world-class organisations. She set up her company, Engaging Minds, and brought to market a fast route to change – the strengths route – it’s catching on fast and is saving organisations millions and transforming thousands of people’s experience of work.

Sally’s ground-breaking work, inspired by a pivotal ‘light-bulb moment’ in her twenties, gives everyone the chance to discover, play to and apply their innate strengths, values and motivators. The result? They can make the best career choices, be selected for the right roles, love their jobs, thrive in the workplace, and so, be more fulfilled in their lives. For leaders, the strengths approach is the key to high performance and engaged employees.

Sally’s stories of the impact the approach has had in organisations like EY, the NHS, the Prison Service, Starbucks and Saga will surprise, inspire and galvanise you. Is it really possible that you can save millions of pounds in just a few months? And can your people (at every level) become greater at what they do and get happier in the process? Sally says yes, and, in her talks, she reveals exactly how and why.

Her definitive books Strengths-based Recruitment and Development (2016) for organisations and The Strengths Book for individuals (2017) have been hailed as evidence-based, practical and life-changing. They generously put the power of strengths approaches into the hands of everyone.

Hearing Sally speak will reveal a proven route to an engaged workforce. It will plant fresh, exciting ideas about ‘strengths’ in your mind, and the desire to try them, either for your organisation or for yourself, in your heart.

As a speaker, Sally has an engaging, conversational style and tells stories that touch people and leave them feeling empowered to discover their strengths and raise their game.

Sally has an academic grounding in organisational change as well as practical experience of leading it in demanding organisations across many sectors. She was a director at The Economist Group (publisher of The Economist magazine) before setting up Engaging Minds. She has led organisational change projects in Europe, USA and Asia Pacific.

As founder of Engaging Minds she has led organisational transformations for many well known organisations. From helping Saga to prepare for flotation on the UK stock market to removing risk from senior nurses being appointed into the wrong job, the work Engaging Minds does leads to real change. The following organisations have all benefited from the transformative effect of working with Sally and her team: the AA, EY, Grolsch, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Hospital Trust, Imperial College NHS Hospitals Trust, Lloyd’s Register, Morrisons, NHS, Ofcom, Olympics 2012, SABMiller, Saga, Sodexo Justice Services, Starbucks, The Royal Marsden Hospital, University College London Hospitals.

Engaging Minds work has been featured in many professional and consumer publications including the Health Services Journal, Nursing Standard, The Institute of Directors Magazine, HR Magazine and Elle Magazine.

Her first degree was a BA (Hons) in psychology, sociology and economics. She has an MSc in organisational change from the University of Surrey. This humanistic approach continues to inform her work and research methodologies.

She is a writer and award-winning author of seven books

Review: Pieces of Hate by Tim Lebbon

Review: Pieces of Hate by Tim LebbonPieces of Hate by Tim Lebbon
Series: Assassin #2
Published by on March 15th 2016
Genres: Fantasy
Our reviews of this author: Blood of the Four
Format: eARC
Source: Publisher

Thanks to for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

 LibraryThing button-amazon book-depository-button audible-button

We start the book with Deadman’s Hand.  This is the first in the Assassin’s series and opens as a stranger rides into the town of Deadwood on a pale horse. His name is Gabriel and he seeks revenge. Doug is the local storekeeper who witnesses Gabriel’s arrival and who will narrate this tale.  It seems from this point onward that Doug, in spite of himself, is going to be pulled into the strange world of Gabriel and the man that he seeks.  At the same time, on the other side of town another stranger has appeared and following some sort of altercation is now spending time in the mortuary!  Strange coincidence?  Or has Gabriel been beaten to his quarry?

This is only a short story but nonetheless is an intriguing tale with a small but interesting cast of characters.  I don’t want to elaborate too much on the plot because it would be easy to spoil the story for others.  What I can say is that Gabriel is no ordinary man.  Cursed hundreds of years ago he seeks the man called Temple who killed his family.  Temple, likewise is no ordinary man, he is in fact a demon, incredibly difficult to kill with death following swiftly on his heels.  The two of these characters share a violent history, one in which they’ve both committed terrible crimes and one which seems destined to be repeated over and over throughout the centuries.

This first story was a very quick read, well written and although only short it manages to convey an impressive sense of menace.  We then move to the second story, Pieces of Hate which in fact actually takes a jump back in time and is this time narrated by Gabriel. We now accompany Gabriel on a maritime adventure as he once again seeks out the whereabouts of Temple.  This story has a different feel from the first.  We travel back in time to see the terrible events that first led Gabriel down this path with the words ‘Feed Your Hate’ drawing him in. We’re about to join the company of pirates and go in search of Captain Henry Morgan who looks set to become the demon Temple’s next victim.

This is a lively and fast paced read.  I feel that I should mention that it’s also fairly brutal and bloody, so be warned.  Of course both the worlds visited here are places of violence and death and between Gabriel and Temple the body count stacks up.

I’m intrigued about where the author will take this next and I wonder how many instalments this tale will eventually have?  We’ve met the characters and seen how their fates become entangled.  It looks as though the next instalment will be set in Singapore during WWII and may be poised to give us a little bit more information on Temple which sounds very intriguing to me.

If you fancy a dark tale of vengeance that spans the eras and you’re not afraid of bloodshed then this could be for you.  I admit that short stories aren’t usually for me but as this is a series of short stories that are all connected I confess I’ve been drawn into this world and I’m keen to see what comes next.

It’s grim, it’s brutal and it’s most certainly deadly.

PDVSA shuts its last two operating refineries in Venezuela: Amuay, Cardon

Platts Global Coal Alert

PDVSA shuts its last two operating refineries in Venezuela: Amuay, Cardon

Amuay shut Monday, Cardon down for repairs

Puerto La Cruz, El Palito refineries already offline

Caracas, Venezuela — PDVSA has shut down its last two operating refineries in Venezuela, closing its Amuay and Cardon facilities at the Paraguana Refining Center (CRP), the largest refining complex in the country, according to a technical report seen Monday by S&P Global Platts.

아직 가입하지 않으셨나요?

지금 가입하세요

Due to multiple failures and a lack of crude to process, the 645,000 b/d Amuay refinery was completely shut down Monday, with its five distillers out of service, and the 310,000 b/d Cardon refinery was shut Saturday for maintenance work on the Number 1 distiller, which had been operating at 50,000 b/d.

A refinery operator at Amuay, who spoke to Platts on condition of anonymity, said it will take "maybe two or three more days" to restart Amuay and "a few weeks" for Cardon to be up and running because of the distiller repairs.

Amuay's 108,000 b/d catalytic cracking unit has been shut since December, the plant's 72,000 b/d flexicoker has been shut since March 2016, and the 34,000 b/d delayed coking unit remains shut for repairs.

Amuay has not run at maximum capacity since August 2012, when an explosion killed 42 people and injured 80.

The 16,000 b/d Bajo Grande asphalt plant, also part of the CRP, was already shut.

PDVSA operates two other refineries, the 187,000 b/d Puerto La Cruz and the 140,000 b/d El Palito, which were already shut down due to deterioration of units, lack of light crude to process and failures in the supply of electricity.

Raising Awareness of Opioid Use in Older Adults and the Elderly

SpineUniverse reported on a study that indicated a 10% increase in opioid addiction or dependency in patients prescribed such medications to treat post-operative pain. Although spine surgery was not among the types of operations included in the study, it’s interesting to note that 3% of the patients surveyed, ages 55-years plus, admitted opioid use and addiction.1
Brain medicine mental health care concept as hands holding an open pill capsule releasing gears to a human head made of machine Adults of any age taking an opioid may experience potentially dangerous drug side effects. Photo Source: 123RF.com.
Older adults and the elderly are part of approximately 100 million adults in the United States (US) affected by acute or chronic pain.2 Low back pain is one of the most common causes of pain, followed by headache/ migraine pain, and neck pain. Spinal osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease are frequent diagnoses in our older adult and elderly populations.

In a presentation by Sullivan in 2003 about chronic pain and prescription opioid abuse and addiction in older adults, it was reported that “the prevalence of pain increases with each decade of life. In addition, pain complaints increased 80% in adults age 65 and older.3 Furthermore, as the number of opioid prescriptions increased, so did use by older adults—but some medical studies often dismissed addiction as somewhat rare or temporary.4

Regulators React

The government and its agencies began to recognize and acknowledge opioid use and the potential dangers in older Americans. In 2012, a study revealed that more than 700,000 adults (ages 45 to 84) were hospitalized specifically for opioid abuse. Older adults and the elderly accounted for a five-time  increase in hospitalizations for opioid abuse compared to younger Americans.5

Adults of any age taking an opioid may experience potentially dangerous drug side effects. But for older adults or senior-aged individuals, the risks are weightier. Why? Older people often take several medications simultaneously to treat different medical problems (eg, diabetes, hypertension). It can be a challenge for the patient to keep track of when to take a prescribed drug or remember if the medication was taken, which may result in unintentional doses. An opioid introduces another layer of potential risks, including respiratory depression, confusion, loss of balance, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and falls.

In 2015, Congress introduced a Medicare-specific bill called “Stopping Medication Abuse and Protecting Seniors Act.” Today, we see changes in how opioids are prescribed, dispensed, and monitored to prevent doctor-shopping and other ways drugs may be obtained and abused.6, 7

Managing Opioid Medications

Some adult or elderly patients live alone, in a family setting, receive home-health  assistance, or reside in an assisted-living facility or other situation. In some instances, the management of the medication, including pain-relieving drug is handled by nursing or healthcare staff.

Many older adults and elderly patients are quite capable of managing their medication, doctor’s visits, and everyday life. Then there are others who need assistance. They may not realize they need help and/or may not ask. This is where a family member, friend or caregiver can help by being observant and step in to help. For example, does the patient take their medication as prescribed, but still seem to be in pain? Does he/she stumble easily or fall, complain about feeling dizzy, confused, constipated, or have other complaints?

Keep in mind that people change with age and so do their needs for medications. In managing pain and side effects, the solution may be a dose change or a different type of drug. Considering many older adults and elderly persons take multiple medications, it is a good idea to bring all prescription, OTC medication and supplements to every doctor’s visit for review. Doing so creates a good opportunity for the patient and you to talk with the doctor about health changes and new challenges.

Almost every animal holds some sort of symbolic meaning for us.

It is cats that hold the most potent spiritual symbolism of any animal that we encounter.

The color of a cat’s fur has a dramatic effect on the spiritual symbolism that it represents.

Today we are going to talk about orange furred (or ginger/marmalade) cats.

So whether you are searching for spiritual, artistic, or emotional symbolism related to an orange cat, these are the meanings you might find:

Leader or Follower?

The orange cat symbolizes leadership and the nature of natural-born leaders.

Most cats are fiercely independent with natural charisma, but ginger cats symbolize the virtues of good leadership.

If you see a ginger cat with the perspective of appearing ahead of you, know this means you need to take the lead in your current situation.

It may even be pointing out to you and congratulating you on taking the lead, even when you did not see it for yourself.

We can learn the traits of strong leaders by emulating the animal, practicing independent thought, and strong will in the face of adversity.

The flip side to this is the flaws of a weak follower.

So if for example, the cat appears behind you, know that this means you are being a weak follower in your current situation.

It is time for you to do some self-examination and understand where in your life you are making the mistake of not giving support to the person who is in the lead and helping you.

There is nothing wrong with following someone who is leading. We all do it and it is necessary much of the time.

The meaning to understand if you notice a ginger cat behind you, is are you being supportive of the person leading the way?

Bold, Brash, Adventurous

The orange cat is a symbol of adventure in the traditional sense: Striding headfirst into danger and peril for the promise of great riches and glory.

Metaphorically speaking, of course.

We can learn self-confidence from the orange tabby, boldly going where we did not have the self-belief to go before.

It encourages us to get out of our comfort zone and do something we can have some pride in.

It is not always clear to us how to make changes in our life, but we can look to the ginger tabby and emulate some of their characters for this.

Sweeping Change

The essence of the orange cat on a vibrational level is one of change, upheaval, and new beginnings.

Orange as a color is very sacred and holds spiritual significance on many levels.

Identifying with the orange cat means understanding and maintaining the status quo is easy, but upsetting it provides the opportunity for something bigger and better to rise from the dust.

Without the drive to change things, nothing ever improves. It also involves trusting yourself to take a risk.

It is not content waiting for someone else to take that leap.

When we see an orange/ginger cat it is telling us to look within and seek that heroic part of ourselves and take risks.

These risks are essential to us achieving our deepest desires and without them, we will never lead in the ways we seek.

The orange cat has a particular symbolic meaning in the modern world as it symbolizes the sun and the climate.

It drives us to action to save our planet from the excesses of humanity, where an irresponsible few pollute the atmosphere and damage Mother Nature.

We can make changes and employ solar power as a way of preserving our Mother Earth.

We must grow our own food under our beautiful sun and take some time outside in the sun to charge up our vitamin D.

Tabby Cat Spiritual Meaning

Cats are one of the most spiritual beings on planet Earth.

Dreaming Of An Orange Cat

Ok, you wake up from a dream and the first thing you remember is seeing an orange/ginger cat.

It is time to go deep within your mind and go straight back to that dream and try and recall as much of it as you can.

The points you want to think about are:

  • What age was the cat?
  • What was the general emotional feeling of the cat?
  • What shade of orange/ginger was this cat?
  • What situation was the cat in?
  • How did you feel about the dream?

The age of the cat tells you what part of your life journey the dream is referring to.

The emotion of the cat tells you on a feminine level how you are really feeling about yourself. It does not matter if you are a man or woman, we all have both traits.

The lightness or depth of color tells you the urgency of the dream message. Light meaning not too much of an issue, but something you need to think about.

Dark orange means something that you have been ignoring and is about to blow up in your face.

Never ignore a dream with a deep-colored ginger cat, your inner self is screaming at you by this point, so head the warning and take action.

Orange cats also symbolize optimism, the drive behind everything else it symbolizes.

Things can get better if you put your mind to it and apply yourself with full commitment.

You can save the planet, you can claim your riches and your glory, and do some good while you are at it.

Those who have an orange tabby as a pet are more optimistic because that’s the energy that they give out.

What It Means Where You See a Ginger/Orange Cat

Learning how to interpret meanings takes a lifetime to figure out.

There are so many variations it is almost impossible to figure out on your own.

Lucky we are here to give you the wisdom you need, we do not want to see blind because you did not have enough time to learn it all.

What you need to know right now, is where you saw this orange/ginger cat.

If you see an orange cat in real life it is vital to remember this rule: where in relation to your own physical being did you first notice the orange of a cat?

Was it in the distance ahead of you? Or was it well behind you when you looked back?

Note that there is no message of a physical manner if in real life you see this color cat to the left or right of your being.

Dreaming Of Orange Cat

If you see an orange/ginger cat while you are on the nod and cruizing the astral plane of existence, then know this is a direct line of communication between you and all your potential.

For within that potential is your creator self.

And we are all creators, and as such we have constant communication with all that is, through our dreams.

Being awakened is being awake dreaming.

Whatever is in your dreams you need to connect with.

If you can not find clarity within your journey, there is a gap in your energetic link to your oversoul.

Our dreams try hard to connect us to our souls but too often we don’t listen.

The orange cat symbolizes the vital energy that keeps us all going.

This is not only symbolic of the sun’s energy, which gives life to this planet and everything on it, but also the spiritual energies that drive us from within and the physical energies that allow us to manifest our will.

So, at the end of it all, the orange cat symbolizes an optimistic drive to lead the world to change, for the betterment of humanity and, of course, yourself.

To many of us, palm trees summon up summer holidays and brilliant weather.

While this is not too far off – after all, the palm tree is a sun symbol – there is far more to it palm tree symbolism than that!

So let’s take a look at the symbolism of the palm tree and how it might relate to you.

Health & Vitality

First, as a sun symbol, the palm tree represents health and vitality.

The sun has long been a symbol of health, and the palm tree itself seems to resemble the sun at the head.

The reason we associate sun symbols with health and vitality is simple – the sun makes us healthier.

More than that, it brings life to all living things on Earth, with no exceptions.

After all, there’s a reason why so many cultures have based their beliefs around the sun and the stars.

Along the same vein, palm tree symbolism also relates to fertility and childbirth.

The life-giving properties of the sun lends the palm tree the symbolism of birth and fertility, but the palm tree itself also shows these symbols.

The phallic shape of the trunk and the “flowering” fan of leaves at the head have sexual connotations. The fruit-bearing nature of the palm also supports this reading, especially if you consider the suggestive shape of that fruit too.

Sun symbols are generally thought of as masculine, with the typical chivalric values of honour and truth meeting the typical masculine values of strength and practicality.

The palm tree is no exception to this, with its almost excessive male sexual symbolism.

But that isn’t the whole story…

Femininity & Balance

Unlike most sun symbols, the palm tree also has a lot of feminine and female sexual symbolism.

Feminine energy adds a new dimension to the symbolic meaning of the palm tree, as we now see ideas of balance between the masculine and feminine energies come to the fore.

Balancing these energies is essential for us in our daily lives.

Nobody is truly masculine or feminine in a spiritual sense.

Everybody has varying traits and values between masculine and feminine ideals, and finding the balance that is right for you is equivalent to discovering who you are.

Finding out who you are – self-discovery – is an integral part of a spiritual lifestyle.

Growth & Success

Like all trees and plants, palm trees also represent to us the idea of growth and change.

Throughout history, palm leaves have been used to reward successful growth – or just success in general!

The Romans were particularly keen on palm leaves, using them as a primitive “red carpet” to welcome home triumphant military generals.

The Christians, on the other hand, saw the palm leaves as a symbol of the triumph of spirit over flesh. In this way, the palm tree symbolises the need for us to privilege the soul over the body.

Nine potential replacements for Sepp Blatter as FIFA president

Who will follow Sepp Blatter as FIFA's president? The next person to fill the role will likely come from this list.

Sepp Blatter is out as FIFA president after his shocking resignation on Tuesday. Scandal and corruption ultimately pressured Blatter into resigning, which leaves a great mess for whoever will succeed him.

The election to determine Blatter's successor can't can't take place for at least four months, and Domenico Scala, chairman of FIFA's audit and compliance committee, said he expects it to happen sometime between December 2015 and March 2016, according to The Linemakers.

MORE: Will Qatar lose 2022 World Cup? | Interpol wants ex-FIFA officials | 10 Women's World Cup stars to know

William Hill already has odds on the board for the next FIFA president, with Michel Platini, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein and Luis Figo as the heaviest favorites. Figo backed out of the most recentl election late, leaving Prince Ali as the only challenger. Prince Ali successfully garnered 73 votes before withdrawing from a second round of voting.

Our friends at Goal.com and The Linemakers have broken down the field and we're taking a look at nine potential successors to Blatter. Get to know the candidates.

  • Having announced he would not run against Sepp Blatter for presidency, the current UEFA president may finally throw his name into the hat after the 79-year-old's demise. The Frenchman has gained many supporters around the European game for his introduction of the Financial Fair Play legislation and concern for child welfare, but also courted criticism for his support for Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup.

    The 59-year-old called Blatter's resignation "a brave decision" having previously appealed to the Swiss in person not to stand for a fifth term in charge. Platini is many bookmakers' early favorite to win the election at FIFA's Extraordinary Congress. — Kris Voakes

    ARE YOU KIDDING? Indicted official uses "The Onion" to defend himself

  • After Luis Figo and Michael van Praag pulled out of the race for FIFA president, Prince Ali was the only opponent left to fight Blatter as the Swiss marched to a fifth term in power. But having gained the favor of 73 member nations, the Jordanian may well believe he has what it takes to persuade another 32 that he is the man to lead football into the post-Blatter era after announcing he will again run for the post.

    Last time around, Prince Ali was able to garner enough support to meet the minimum requirements of the election process even before he had made any pledges regarding his plans for football. But a wider pool of candidates under the modernization banner may see the 39-year-old's voter base split. —Kris Voakes

    BEFORE THE ELECTION: U.S. Soccer supported Prince Ali

  • Luis Figo was in the most recent FIFA presidential race, until he wasn't. He pulled out of the race late, leaving Prince Ali as the lone challenger to Blatter. After Blatter's re-election, Figo called for his resignation.

    Figo was a proponent of significant World Cup restructuring in early 2015, stating he'd want to see the tournament expanded to 40 or 48 teams from the current 32-team structure. Will Figo's role as an outspoken critic of Blatter hurt or help his chances in a possible election?

    TIMELINE: Follow FIFA corruption investigation

  • Erzik, hailing from Turkey, is UEFA's vice president. He has served as amember of FIFA's executive committee since 1996. His service at the highest levels of international soccer makes him an ideal candidate, but does FIFA need someone who isn't part of the existing power structure?

    CAN'T TAKE IT: ESPN's Bob Ley shreds FIFA news release

  • Ted Howard is the general secretary of CONCACAF. He succeeded Chuck Blazer — he of the infamous cat condo in the recent FIFA scandal — with CONCACAF.Howard was elected to the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2003. As the New York Daily News speculates, will Howard be rewarded by the soccer world as a U.S. rep in taking down Blatter and other corrupt FIFA officials?

    HILARIOUS PLEA: John Oliver begs FIFA sponsors for help

  • The 68-year-old Cameroonian has been president of CAF for the past 27 years and has already run for the FIFA presidency once, losing out to Blatter in 2002 after gaining 56 votes to the Swiss' 139.

    In 2011 he was reprimanded by the IOC for taking kickbacks as part of an investigation into relationships between major sporting figures and the former sports marketing company ISL. Hayatou denied corruption, claiming he received the $20,000 from ISL as a gift for his confederation. He was later named by theSunday Timesas one of the leading executives linked to Mohammed Bin Hammam's alleged attempts to garner votes for the 2022 Qatar World Cup bid.

    As a member of the Blatterite African confederation, Hayatou may well find himself heavily backed by member nations should he decided to stand. — Kris Voakes

    BLATTER SAFE? Swiss law enforcement give surprising update

  • Dyke is already on record as saying the 2022 World Cup could be headed to the United States. He's labeled as a long shot by William Hill in the U.K. at 50-1. Dyke serves as FA chairman.

    HISTORY: All-time Women's World Cup winners

  • David Gill was elected as Britain's FIFA vice president in March only to announce his intention to resign after Sepp Blatter was given a new mandate as president. But the news of Blatter's exit was immediately followed by the news that Gill - who had not yet formally handed in his notice - would now take up the role as planned.

    "Having yet to confirm formally my resignation, I am more than willing to play my part in helping to bring about a positive future for FIFA and to work with the many people within the organization who are only committed to developing and promoting the game around the world," Gill said in a statement on Tuesday.

    The 57-year-old former Manchester United executive has also sat on the English FA board and became a UEFA Executive Committee member in 2013. — Kris Voakes

    USWNT ROSTER: Meet the 23 stars heading to Canada

  • Many people within football expected Sheikh Ahmad to make a play for the FIFA presidency in 2019 under the assumption that Blatter would retain the position throughout his fifth term. But the shock events of the past week may well see the Kuwaiti accelerate his power play.

    Currently the president of the Olympic Council of Asia and a big name in the corridors of the International Olympic Committee, the 51-year-old was said to be targetting one of the AFC's places on the FIFA Executive Committee during the 2015-19 cycle until Blatter's resignation. The Sheikh formerly served in the Kuwaiti army and was minister of oil under his uncle's premiership in his home country. — Kris Voakes

Chicks, Man

I Cannot Believe It’s Already Time For The Wisconsin Beer Cart Girl Pageant Again

Ahh, the Beer Cart Girl. One of the most revered and admired employees of a golf course. It is true there is not a more welcome sight out on the course than seeing that cart appear on the horizon, as the lovely young lady behind the wheel clumsily and erratically navigates her way through the rough, tearing across tee boxes and nearly rolling into bunkers – especially when the eight beers you smuggled onto the course in your golf bag are cashed before the 4th hole.

And leave it to the Great State of Wisconsin to pay homage to these under-appreciated and comely lasses who take care of us parched golfers so well with their Miss Beer Cart Pageant & Golf Tournament. Here’s the lowdown on the pageant:

The Miss Beer Cart Pageant is a competition designed to find the Best Beer Cart Driver in the State of Wisconsin. Drivers are nominated to compete in the competition. Once entered, drivers compete against one another in different events that involve speed and neatness on the beer cart, driving tests that include speed, agility and accuracy and also a question and answer session with our selected judges. Before the event begins, a long drive competition is held between the beer cart drivers. This is done on an amphitheater like setting on the first tee. Once the event begins, each driver gets her turn on the beverage cart. Votes are tallied during dinner based upon pre-round competitions, long drive challenge and service during the event. The day’s work is capped with the presentation of Miss Beer Cart Wisconsin.

Sounds fascinating, wouldn’t you say? If you happen to be in the Milwaukee area on August 17th, I’d highly recommend swinging on over to the Scenic View Country Club to take in the sights, sounds and smells of Beer Cart Girl Pageant. Better yet, get three of your buddies together and register for the four-person scramble (shotgun start and only $99).

Let’s take a look at some of the talent from pageants from previous years:

Certainly attractive young ladies, to be sure, but especially when you consider that this event takes place in Wisconsin. You would be hard-pressed to find a better-looking group of women in America’s Dairyland even if you set-up cheddar cheese-baited traps throughout the Badger State.

There are several other photos located in a gallery on the official site, but below are a few candid photos from last year’s event:

The above photo is nicel, but this one is by far my favorite:

Now this one surprises me. Who woulda thunk it that you would find white chicks flashing gang signs in Wisconsin? Apparently, the scourge has infiltrated and pervaded the heartland.

If you would like to know more about the ladies from last year’s pageant, each one made a video you can find here. I really hope Beth from Brookfield Hills won the pageant.

Yeah, I bet Beth could teach those young ladies a thing or two about beer cart driving, among other things.

What became of the Iceland team behind one of England’s biggest footballing humiliations?

By Squawka News

Published: 19:50, 13 March 2021

In a competition that became synonymous with unimaginative football and defensive tactics, Iceland provided Euro 2016 with its biggest feel-good story, defying all the odds to reach the quarter-finals.

With a population of just 323,000, Iceland was by far the smallest country ever to qualify for European football’s flagship international tournament and their plucky underdog tag meant that virtually every football fan adopted them as their second-favourite team.

Besides the obvious ‘David vs. Goliath’ narrative that was played out before every one of their fixtures, there was far more to Iceland, both on and off the pitch, that captured the imagination of football fans across the continent.

There was captain Aron Gunnarsson’s Rory Delap-esque long throws that sparked panic in opposition penalty areas, for instance, Eidur Gudjohnsen’s final hurrah at the highest level and, of course, that terrifying Nordic clap that united the players and supporters as one.

Little was expected of Iceland pre-tournament, however, they confounded low expectations placed on them by finishing second in their group to set up a meeting with England in the knockout stages.

That was where Iceland’s Euro 2016 fairy tale was supposed to end but instead, they caused yet another shock as goals from Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbein Sigthorrson cancelled out a Wayne Rooney penalty to hand them a priceless 2-1 victory.

As is often the case when an international minnow causes a big splash at a major tournament, a number of Iceland’s players earned transfers elsewhere after their summer heroics. So, where are the 13 players that defeated England in June 2016 now?

Goalkeeper: Hannes Halldórsson

Current club: Valur

2016/17 stats: 35 appearances, 12 clean sheets

Iceland’s No.1 goalkeeper had an up-and-down season at club level leading up to the Euros, spending most of the campaign on Dutch club NEC’s bench before joining Bodo Glimt of Norway from March onwards.

Halldórsson’s impressive displays in France, though, persuaded Danish Superliga outfit Randers FC to sign him permanently and he quickly became their regular ‘keeper between the sticks, prompting Azerbaijani club Qarabag to snap him up in 2018. But Halldórsson, now 36, would spend just a year with Qarabag before signing for Valur in the Icelandic first tier.

Right Back: Birkir Már Sævarsson

Current club: Valur

2016/17 stats: 15 appearances (the Swedish Allsvenskan started in April 2017)

One of the most experienced members of Iceland’s squad, Birkir Már Sævarsson has spent the entirety of his career playing in Scandinavia with Valur in his homeland, SK Brann in Norway and Hammarby IF in Sweden.

He joined Hammarby in January 2015 and racked up just shy of 100 appearances before returning to boyhood club Valur, where he has linked up with his younger brother Aron Elí Sævarsson, who is 13 years his junior. and compatriot Halldórsson.

Centre Back: Kári Árnason

Current club: Vikingur Reykjavik

2016/17 stats: 8 appearances, 2 goals

Few members of Iceland’s squad would’ve known as much about their English opponents as Arnason, who spent six years of his career in British football, lining up for Plymouth Argyle, Aberdeen and Rotherham United.

He left the Millers in 2015 to sign for Swedish club Malmo, where he played until joining Cypriot side Omonia SC in January 2017. He later returned to Aberdeen after his short foray along the banks of the River Pedieos, and now plies his trade for Icelandic side Vikingur — after a spell in Turkey with Genclerbirligi.

Centre Back: Ragnar Sigurðsson

Current club: Rukh Lviv

2016/17 stats: 18 appearances, 1 goal

The scorer of Iceland’s equaliser against England and one of their most impressive performers throughout the tournament, Ragnar Sigurdsson was linked with a host of top-flight clubs after Euro 2016 had finished.

Eventually, he departed Russian Premier League side Krasnodar for the English Championship to join Fulham, where he started the campaign in the starting XI before losing his place midway through the 2016/17 season. He couldn’t quite restore his place in Slaviša Jokanović’s starting XI and was sold to Rostov in January 2018. After two years with the Russian club, Sigurðsson left for FC Copenhagen and was part of the team that knocked Celtic out of the Europa League.

Left Back: Ari Freyr Skúlason

Current club: KV Oostende

2016/17 stats: 30 appearances, 2 goals

Another Iceland player who started his career at Valur before embarking on a tour across Scandinavia, signing for Swedish sides BK Hacken and GIF Sundsvall prior to testing himself in Danish football with Odense Boldklub.

Skulason, who has spent most of his career as a deep-lying playmaker and is renowned for being a set-piece specialist, left OB to join Belgian Pro League side Lokeren in 2016, where he remained until 2019 before making a move to KV Oostende.

Right Midfield: Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson

Current club: Burnley

2016/17 stats: 24 appearances, 1 goal

Gudmundsson burst onto the scene in his youth by excelling in the Dutch Eredivisie for AZ Alkmaar, whom he had joined as an 18-year-old from Breiðablik in Iceland.

In 2014, he made a surprising move to Charlton Athletic who were playing in the Championship at the time and, despite being unable to help the Addicks avoid relegation, Gudmundsson earned a move to Burnley after their promotion to the Premier League in 2016. He has since become indispensable to the Clarets, featuring 129 times and racking up an impressive 19 assists — although his 2019/20 campaign was hampered by injury.

Centre Midfield: Aron Gunnarsson

Current club: Al-Arabi

2016/17 stats: 41 appearances, 3 goals

The leader of the Iceland clap and their not-so-secret long throw weapon, Gunnarsson had been linked with a summer transfer thanks to his excellent performances and leadership skills.

However, he ended up staying at Cardiff City, who he joined in 2011, and was an influential figure in their rise to the Premier League in 2019, playing a key role under Neil Warnock. Gunnarsson his since joined Qatari club Al Arabi, ending an eight-year stay in Wales.

Centre Midfield: Gylfi Sigurðsson

Current club: Everton

2016/17 stats: 40 appearances, 10 goals

Undoubtedly Iceland’s best and most well-known player at present, Gylfi Sigurdsson has established himself as one of the Premier League’s leading attacking midfielders over the past few years.

The Reading academy graduate was simply sensational for Swansea, becoming the club’s central player with his talismanic performances yielding 37 goals and 30 assists from 131 Premier League appearances.

Unfortunately for the Welsh club, his exploits were not enough to keep them in the top-flight and Everton quickly paid a club-record £40m fee to secure his signature in 2017. Sigurðsson has experienced a somewhat indifferent time with Everton since — for his standards — mixing uninspiring displays with crucial moments, although there have been more of the former in recent times.

Left Midfield: Birkir Bjarnason

Current club: Brescia

2016/17 stats: 28 appearances (20 for Basel, 8 for Aston Villa), 4 goals

Bjarnason attracted the attention of not only football scouts for his ability but modelling agents on account of his good looks, with British online retailer ASOS rumoured to have considered offering him a contract.

Nicknamed ‘Thor’ in Iceland due to his flowing blonde locks, Bjarnason did make the move to England, although he linked up with Aston Villa rather than ASOS in January 2016 after featuring for Basel in the Champions League. He made 16 appearances in total for the Villans before joining Al Arabi and later Brescia.

Striker: Kolbeinn Sigthorsson

Current club: IFK Göteborg

2016/17 stats: 2 appearances

The man who broke English hearts (as well as Joe Hart) in 2016, Sigthorsson seems to be becoming one of those players who thrives on the international stage irrespective of his fortunes at club level.

He is now level with Eidur Gudjohnsen as Iceland’s all-time leading goalscorer and reached that 26-goal mark in 31 fewer caps than the former Chelsea forward. However, he failed to make a single appearance for Galatasaray after joining them on loan in August, returning FC Nantes in Ligue 1 before moving to Swedish clubs AIK and then IFK Göteborg.

Striker: Jón Daði Böðvarsson

Current club: Millwall

2016/17 stats: 48 appearances, 3 goals

Wolves made a number of high-profile acquisitions in 2016 but little attention was paid to the arrival of Bodvarsson, who signed in a relatively low-key move from Kaiserslautern.

Although he isn’t the most prolific striker out there, Bodvarsson’s mere presence and work-rate in attack made him a fan-favourite at Molineux with the forward largely playing the role of super-sub at the club. In the summer of 2017, he joined Championship rivals Reading, where again he established himself as something of a super-sub — a role he now keeps at Millwall.

Substitutes used:

Theódór Elmar ‘Teddy’ Bjarnason

Current club: Lamia

2016/17 stats: 31 appearances, 1 goal

Theodor ‘Teddy’ Bjarnason showed sufficient promise as a youngster to earn a move to Celtic in 2004, although he only made one senior appearance for the Glasgow giants in four years.

The versatile midfielder rebuilt his career away from Parkhead, starring for Lyn Oslo, IFK Goteburg and Randers FC before joining AGF Aarhus in 2015, although he has since departed to Turkey, first turning out for Elazığspor, Gazişehir Gaziantep and Akhisarspor before joining Greek outfit Lamia.

Arnór Ingvi Traustason

Current club: Malmö FF

2016/17 stats: 33 appearances, 3 goals

Touted as one of Iceland’s finest up-and-coming prospects, 25-year-old Traustason impressed as a substitute at Euro 2016, scoring the dramatic injury-time winner against Austria in the group stage.

To date, Traustason has scored five goals in 33 senior appearances for Iceland and Rapid Vienna moved quickly to secure his services after the Euro’s signing him from Norrkoping in Sweden. Things didn’t quite work out for Traustason in the Austrian capital and he joined Malmö FF in 2018.

Dedicated to the environment

Am I responsible for water pollution?

| May 18, 2021 | Environmental Law |

Like many in Georgia, you may appreciate the precious and delicate nature of the water systems that provide for the needs of citizens as well as sustaining countless forms of plants and animals that are vital to a healthy environment. Protecting the streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands and shorelines is not a duty only for government entities. Each individual plays an important role.

You may be able to point to obvious sources of pollution, such as farms, factories, mills or other industries in your area. While these are certainly an issue, it often takes very little to disrupt the delicate environmental balance. It may also take only a few people to make positive changes that will preserve clean water or restore areas damaged by pollution.

Where does the pollution come from?

The decisions you make every day can affect the health of surface and ground water. The substances you throw in the trash, pour down the drain or dump onto the ground may easily end up in the soil and groundwater and may lead to contamination, an imbalance of nutrients, or even hazardous or toxic conditions. Some of the most common products that end up in the water systems through careless disposal include:

  • Pesticides, including flea collars and moth balls
  • Fertilizer and other garden chemicals
  • Motor oil
  • Household cleaners, including drain openers
  • Cans that contain unused paint
  • Prescription and over-the-counter medications

Reading the labels of these and other products may help you find safer ways to dispose of them without risking polluting the soil or water. Additionally, if you have a septic system, it is important that you schedule regular inspections and pumping to avoid the danger of waste seeping or overflowing into nearby groundwater.

Take your concern to the next level

It can be frustrating when you take every precaution to protect your local waterways but other businesses and individuals continue to place those precious resources at risk. You may decide to take your actions one step further and raise awareness by joining other community partners or starting a volunteer group to focus on one or more aspects of water preservation.

This may include cleaning along beaches or wetlands, stenciling street drains or posting signs to alert the public. You may even have cause to take legal action against those who persist in polluting or misusing the waterways in violation of Georgia’s clean water laws.

Information for Parents

What will Jigsaw teach my child?

There are six Puzzles (half-term units of work) each with six Pieces (lessons). Every year group studies the same Puzzle at the same time (sequentially ordered from September to July), allowing for whole school themes and the end of Puzzle product, for example, a display or exhibition (like the Garden of Dreams and Goals) to be shared and celebrated by the whole school. Each year group is taught one lesson per week and all lessons are delivered in an age- and stage-appropriate way so that they meet children’s needs.

The Puzzles and what children learn

Being Me In My World covers a wide range of topics, including a sense of belonging, welcoming others and being part of a school community, a wider community, and a global community; it also looks at children’s rights and responsibilities, working and socialising with others, and pupil voice.

Celebrating Difference focuses on similarities and differences and teaches about diversity, such as disability, racism, power, friendships, and con ict; children learn to accept everyone’s right to ‘difference’, and most year groups explore the concept of ‘normal’; bullying – what it is and what it isn’t, including cyber and homophobic bullying – is an important aspect of this Puzzle.

Dreams and Goals aims to help children think about their hopes and dreams, their goals for success, what personal strengths are, and how to overcome challenges,
via team work skills and tasks. There is also a focus on enterprise and fundraising. Children learn about experiencing and managing feelings of pride, ambition, disappointment, success; and they get to share their aspirations, the dreams and goals of others in different cultures/countries, and their dreams for the world.

Healthy Me covers two main areas of health: Emotional health (relaxation, being safe, friendships, mental health skills, body image, relationships with food, managing stress) and Physical health (eating a balanced diet, physical activity, rest and relaxation, keeping clean, drugs and alcohol, being safe, rst aid) in order for children to learn that health is a very broad topic.

Relationships has a wide focus, looking at diverse topics such as families, friendships, pets and animals, and love and loss. A vital part of this Puzzle is about safeguarding and keeping children safe; this links to cyber safety and social networking, as well
as attraction and assertiveness; children learn how to deal with con ict, their own strengths and self-esteem. They have the chance to explore roles and responsibilities in families, and look at stereotypes. All Jigsaw lessons are delivered in an age- and stage-appropriate way so that they meet children’s needs.

Changing Me deals with change of many types, from growing from young to old, becoming a teenager, assertiveness, self-respect and safeguarding. Self and body image, puberty, attraction and accepting change are diverse subjects for children to explore. Each year group thinks about looking ahead, moving year groups or the transition to secondary school. Life cycles and how babies are made and grow are treated sensitively and are designed to meet children’s needs. All year groups learn about how people and bodies change. This Puzzle links with the Science curriculum when teaching children about life cycles, babies and puberty.

Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Pork Roast – Spicy Southern Kitchen

todayOctober 23, 2020 4

share close

Sharing is caring!

Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Pork Roast cooks up fall apart tender with lots of garlic flavor. An easy gravy adds extra flavor. Serve with potatoes and roasted vegetables for a delicious Sunday supper.

A little Cajun seasoning and a few crushed red pepper flakes add just a little zip to this recipe. In addition to garlic, there’s also thyme added for flavor. Rosemary could be used instead.

There’s no need to add any liquid to the slow cooker. The butter will melt and coat the pork and the pork will release its own juices.

What to Serve with Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Pork Roast?

Recipe Tips:

It is important to note that this recipe is made with a pork loin, not pork tenderloin. They are two very different cuts of meat. Pork Loin can also be labeled Center Cut Pork Roast or Center Cut Rib Roast.

Should be done in 5 to 6 hours, but depending on your crock pot and the size of your pork loin, it may take up to 7 hours on LOW. To be sure it is done, use an instant read thermometer and insert it in the thickest portion. It should read 145F.

Let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

It’s fine to leave the pork in the crock pot on warm after it is done cooking if it is not yet dinnertime.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
