Astonishingly for such a prevalent condition, not one of the 25 standard antidepressants has been approved for use for the disorder, even though doctors regularly prescribe them to patients.
And, according to a new Harvard study, they're wasting their time. A group of 366 bipolar sufferers were given either a mood stabilizer and antidepressant, or a mood stabilizer and a placebo - but the drug wasn't any more effective than the placebo. Levels and frequency of mania were similar in both groups.

A ledger is often defined as a book of accounts. Today a ledger is most likely an electronic record or file containing a group of accounts. For example, a company's general ledger is the record containing all of its asset, liability, owner equity, revenue, expense, gain, and loss accounts. Each of these accounts will contain the amounts that are pertinent to the account.
A trial balance is a listing of the name and the balance of each of the accounts in the general ledger. The trial balance is not a financial statement. Rather, it is an internal report that documents which accounts have debit balances and which accounts have credit balances and proves that the total of the debit balances is equal to the total of the credit balances.

So, now there's less than a week until I'm returning to Denmark for good, and I'm a little confused..
This past week I've had six exams, so I haven't had even a second to think about anything. Now, I have five days left and it doesn't seem as enough. When I returned to Brussel after being home a week in the end of November, I had some bad weeks where my mind and body started to break. So, the only thought in my mind was that I wanted to go home, the stress regarding exams, fighting with my Danish friend down here and missing my friends and family was driving me nuts.
Then last weekend a dear friend of mine came to visit from Denmark, and we had some great days. This completely lifted my spirit, and gave me energy to enjoy my final days down here. For this I'm very grateful.
So, now I'm a bit stressed about having to go home so soon. A part of me can't wait, but at the same time I can't believe that I'm gonna say goodbye to this lovely city.
Leaving thursday morning is going to be so weird, leaving my room and what's been my home for the past four months. I can't believe how much I've enjoyed being down here, and how home I've felt in this house. Even though my roommates have driven me crazy sometimes, I'm gonna miss them. The talks in the kitchen, writing assignments and eating together. It's gonna be weird to get home too my own apartment. Nice, but weird 😉
I can't wait to get home to my friends, life is very lonely without true friends. You can be surrounded by people 24/7 and still be lonely. And in Denmark even though I was alone, I never felt really lonely, there's always people to call nearby. And I'm so looking forward to get that feeling back.
Now I only have on exam left on Tuesday, then I got christmas holiday.. 🙂 Buhja.. My only problem right now is how on earth I'm gonna fit all my junk into two suitcases.. Ain't going to be easy 😉 I've stored a lot of shit…
But all in all, how difficult it might be, I'm ready to say goodbye to Brussel. I have learned a lot about myself and gained the confidence, that might get me through my study.

If you don't have time to watch this whole new commercial for Volkswagen Trucks, you can just skip to the end for a quickie version—no matter where you are in the story—and it will still make sense.
It's a merciful approach that all brands should probably mimic in all commercials, given this is the age of skip-happy Internet viewers. But Brazilian agency AlmapBBDO created the ad specifically to reinforce VW's claim that its rigs, like the ad, are themselves customizable. In that context, the video slider at the bottom of the website might be the best part—it takes the shape of a truck that just keeps getting longer and longer.
The story itself—spoilers ahead—is about a young truck driver who runs into an ex-girlfriend at a market. Told in a stilted monologue, it's a bit like a Mad Lib with a single punch line—structured into clauses so you can jump to the last scene at any point, by clicking a button in the lower right hand corner. But the last words are always "My grand-aunt."
That makes for some odd combinations, like "I satisfied my hunger eating… a taco made by… my grand-aunt." It also makes for some surprisingly dark outcomes for a big advertiser—like skipping the part about the taco and delving straight into ancestral cannibalism. There's at least one notable hidden variation—hit the button at certain times, and the grand-aunt is a goateed, shirtless young man, instead of a little old lady.
Overall, it's an intriguing approach, but maybe a little too eager to be inventive, with a takeaway that seems more about the copywriting team's ability to write a cascading script than about the product's benefits. It was nice for them to include an eject lever, but if the idea is to get the message in quickly, and extend the entertainment for those who want it—Geico's simpler approach takes the cake.
Plus, it has a better dog.

Rhinoceros (typically abbreviated Rhino, or Rhino3D) is a commercial 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) application software. Rhinoceros geometry is based on the NURBS mathematical model, which focuses on producing mathematically precise representation of curves and freeform surfaces in computer graphics (as opposed to polygon mesh-based applications).
Rhinoceros is used in processes of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), rapid prototyping, 3D printing and reverse engineering in industries including architecture, industrial design (e.g. automotive design, watercraft design), product design (e.g. jewelry design) as well as for multimedia and graphic design.
The Rhinoceros file format (.3DM) is useful for the exchange of NURBS geometry. The Rhino developers started the openNURBS Initiative to provide computer graphics software developers the tools to accurately transfer 3-D geometry between applications. An open-source toolkit, openNURBS includes the 3DM file format specification, documentation, C++ source code libraries and .NET 2.0 assemblies to read and write the file format, on supported platforms (Windows, Windows x64, Mac, and Linux).Read more
In solid modeling and computer-aided design, boundary representation—often abbreviated as B-rep or BREP—is a method for representing shapes using the limits. A solid is represented as a collection of connected surface elements, the boundary between solid and non-solid.
Boundary representation of models are composed of two parts: topology and geometry (surfaces, curves and points). The main topological items are: faces, edges and vertices. A face is a bounded portion of a surface; an edge is a bounded piece of a curve and a vertex lies at a point. Other elements are the shell (a set of connected faces), the loop (a circuit of edges bounding a face) and loop-edge links (also known as winged edge links or half-edges) which are used to create the edge circuits. The edges are like the edges of a table, bounding a surface portion.
Compared to the constructive solid geometry (CSG) representation, which uses only primitive objects and Boolean operations to combine them, boundary representation is more flexible and has a much richer operation set. In addition to the Boolean operations, B-rep has extrusion (or sweeping), chamfer, blending, drafting, shelling, tweaking and other operations which make use of these.Read more

WooCommerce and Google Analytics integration
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics offered by google that is connected to your website through a piece of tracking code they tracks and reports website traffic, currently as a platform inside the Google Marketing Platform brand etc. Google Analytics is now the most widely used web analytics service on the Internet.
Integration with WordPress
Once your store is up and running, it's important to start working on improvements. To be able to do that you first need to collect data about your visitors. Google Analytics is the free and most widely used tool to do so. If you've ever run any website before, you're probably familiar with it.
Unfortunately, even if you have already connected your website to Google Analytics, it will not track e-commerce conversions. Since that is important to have available, we need to take additional steps to solve this issue. By searching the WordPress.org plugin repository, some plugins are available, but none of these have been actively maintained at the moment of writing.
- Check your active theme's header.php file to ensure it includes the wp_head hook.
- Create a new file in your plugins folder
- Get your analytics tracking code from the Google analytics site
- Add some code including the tracking code to your plugin
- Activate the plugin

The popularity of the teddy bear, named from President Teddy Roosevelt in the early 1900s, made the Gund business highly successful. Between 1898 and 1922, the company relocated to larger quarters in New York's Manhattan, four different times.

Deploying Jekyll With Capistrano 3 to a Digital Ocean Droplet
First post here, but yeah I thought I'd document how I got this blog up and running on a Droplet running Ubuntu 14.04.
Blog Set Up
To get started with the blog, we are using awesome jekyll
now I really like to use rvm so I will assume that going forward, so if you need help setting it up locally follow that link.
gem istall jekyll
Now to get the most basic blog up and going, you can use
$ gem install jekyll
~ $ jekyll new blog
~ $ cd blog
~/blog $ jekyll serve
# => Now browse to http://localhost:4000
and boom! We are now serving the basic jekyll blog locally on port
To set up our basic
git repo for github we can use the following commands.
be sure to change your origin to the repo you create on github
$ git init
$ git add . # add all files
$ git commit -m "First Commit" # commit message
$ git remote add origin firstname.lastname@example.com:danmanstx/blog.git
$ git push -u origin master
Server (Droplet) Set Up
To begin, I had a preconfigued droplet with a few rails apps aready on it and rvm (guide). In this case the droplet was the 1gb for $10/month, and this seems more than enough for running 3 rails apps and hosting this blog.
To get multiple users set up and going on your droplet use this guide. Following along, my new user is named
rails and I just run the apps straight out of folders in its home directory for convenience. However Common practice is to use something like www
So to start, I created another folder for my blog as the
rails user, and set up some needed default folders.
# switch to rails user if you aren't already
$ sudo su - rails
~ $ mkdir blog
~ $ cd blog
~/blog $ mkdir shared
~/blog $ mkdir shared/log
Just be sure this user doesn't have root access and only owns these folders.
Next, I got NGINX installed.
sudo apt-get install nginx
simple enough right? Well, now we need to configure it. I don't believe i changed much in this file
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf, but here it is.
1 user www-data;
2 worker_processes 4;
3 pid /run/nginx.pid;
5 events {
6 worker_connections 768;
7 # multi_accept on;
8 }
10 http {
11 # Basic Setting
12 sendfile on;
13 tcp_nopush on;
14 tcp_nodelay on;
15 keepalive_timeout 65;
16 types_hash_max_size 2048;
18 server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
19 # server_name_in_redirect off;
21 include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
22 default_type application/octet-stream;
24 # SSL Setting
25 ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE
26 ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
28 # Logging Setting
29 access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
30 error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
32 # Gzip Setting
33 gzip on;
34 gzip_disable "msie6";
36 # Virtual Host Config
37 include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
38 include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
39 }
However, I did have to create a site configuration file in
sites-available using the following command:
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/<your_site_name>.conf
be sure to note that you probably don't want to use
Next, I just created a basic
server block that looks at a directory named for my blog in the
rails user's home directory.
1 server {
2 listen 80;
3 server_name dannypeters.me www.dannypeters.me;
5 access_log /home/rails/blog/shared/log/nginx.access.log;
6 error_log /home/rails/blog/shared/log/nginx.access.log;
8 location / {
9 root /home/rails/blog/current/public/;
10 index index.html index.htm;
11 }
12 }
Now to follow
nginx convention i symlinked this config file to the
sites-enabled folder
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/<your_site_name>.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/<your_site_name>.conf
Capistrano Set Up
this is done on your local machine
To begin we need to make sure that Capistrano is installed, if not
gem install capistrano
and then set up a
Gemfile to monitor the gems we will be using.
~/blog $ vi Gemfile
1 source 'https://rubygems.org'
3 ruby '2.1.5'
4 gem 'jekyll'
5 gem 'capistrano-rvm'
6 gem 'capistrano-bundler'
8 gem 'rvm1-capistrano3', require: false
Next, we need to capify our blog. Just run the following command from your blog directory.
with capistrano 2.x this command was
$ cap install
Now we need to edit some of the files it created.
Capfile, we need to add
require 'rvm1/capistrano3' because we are using rvm, and also uncomment some things.
1 # Load DSL and set up stages
2 require 'capistrano/setup'
4 # Include default deployment tasks
5 require 'capistrano/deploy'
7 require 'capistrano/rvm'
8 require 'rvm1/capistrano3'
9 # require 'capistrano/rbenv'
10 # require 'capistrano/chruby'
11 require 'capistrano/bundler'
12 # require 'capistrano/rails/assets'
13 # require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'
14 # require 'capistrano/passenger'
16 # Load custom tasks from `lib/capistrano/tasks' if you have any defined
17 Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake').each { |r| import r }
Next, Our
config/production.rb file, be sure to edit the
server line with your settings.
1 set :stage, :production
3 # Extended Server Syntax
4 # ======================
5 # This can be used to drop a more detailed server definition into the
6 # server list. The second argument is a, or duck-types, Hash and is
7 # used to set extended properties on the server.
9 server 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', user: 'rails', port: 22, roles: %w{web app}
11 set :bundle_binstubs, nil
13 set :bundle_flags, '--deployment --quiet'
14 set :rvm_type, :user
17 SSHKit.config.command_map[:rake] = "bundle exec rake"
18 SSHKit.config.command_map[:rails] = "bundle exec rails"
20 namespace :deploy do
22 desc "Restart application"
23 task :restart do
24 on roles(:app), in: :sequence, wait: 5 do
25 # execute :touch, release_path.join("tmp/restart.txt")
26 end
27 end
29 after :finishing, "deploy:cleanup"
31 end
Finally, We need to set up the
deploy.rb file.
The key here is this bit of code which builds your jekyll blog into the public folder so you don't need to compile and commit before each deploy. It's my
build_public task below.
1 # config valid only for Capistrano 3.1
2 # lock '3.2.1'
4 set :application, 'blog'
5 set :repo_url, "firstname.lastname@example.com:danmanstx/#{fetch(:application)}.git"
7 # Default deploy_to directory is /var/www/my_app
8 set :deploy_to, "/home/rails/#{fetch(:application)}"
10 # Default value for :scm is :git
11 set :scm, :git
13 # Default value for :log_level is :debug
14 set :log_level, :debug
16 # Default value for keep_releases is 5
17 set :keep_releases, 5
19 namespace :deploy do
21 desc 'Restart application'
22 task :restart do
23 on roles(:app), in: :sequence, wait: 5 do
24 # Your restart mechanism here, for example:
25 # execute :touch, release_path.join('tmp/restart.txt')
26 end
27 end
29 before :restart, :build_public do
30 on roles(:app) do
31 within release_path do
32 execute '/home/rails/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/wrappers/jekyll', "build --destination public"
33 end
34 end
35 end
37 after :publishing, :restart
39 end
At fist I was getting the following error:
remote: /usr/bin/env: ruby_executable_hooks: No such file or directory
So I switched from using the following command calling jekyll directly and ended up using the rvm wrapper, with help from this stack overflow answer
1 execute :jekyll, "build --destination public"`
1 execute '/home/rails/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/wrappers/jekyll', "build --destination public"
Finally, any new post or updates can be commited and deployed using the following commands.
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "new post"
$ git push
$ cap production deploy

Daily Memory:
This is one of my very first memories. My mom was driving Dana to kindergarten, and I was in the back seat. We were cruising merrily when a car hit us. Dana suffered a bloody lip. I remember being so worried about my brother, I kept saying I'm sorry and I kept trying to comfort him. It was pretty scary. Since that memory was so long ago I just remember feelings mostly. I was worried about my brother. That was pretty much it.

Jumpin' Jack Frack – let's use that gas
You would think that a bit of good news might come in handy right now and certainly for those whose job it is to keep the country from sliding deeper into insolvency — the government. Just over a week ago The Times reported that "Britain could have enough shale gas to heat every home for 1,500 years, according to new estimates that suggest reserves are 200 times greater than previously believed".
To be precise, the British Geological Survey is about to increase its official estimate of the amount lying untapped from the previous figure of 5.3 trillion cubic feet to between 1,300 and 1,700 trillion cubic feet. A lot.
Yet the response of Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat energy and climate change secretary, was to

Aly Raisman says she was sexually abused by team doctor Larry Nassar
Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman has accused Larry Nassar of sexual abuse, joining more than 100 female gymnasts who said they have also been sexually assaulted by the former U.S. national gymnastics team doctor.
Raisman, 23, is the second member of the 2012 Olympic gold medal team to present allegations against Nassar, who spent nearly 30 years as an osteopath with the USA Gymnastics program. McKayla Maroney said last month that she was molested by Nassar for several years, beginning when she was 13.
Raisman confirmed her abuse in an interview with "60 Minutes" that is slated to air Sunday night, saying she was first treated by Nassar at age 15. The six-time Olympic medalist also details her experiences in her book, "Fierce," which will be released next week.

"I am angry. I'm really upset," Raisman told "60 Minutes." "I see these young girls that come up to me, and they ask for pictures or autographs, whatever it is. … I just want to create change so that they never, ever have to go through this."
Raisman blasted Nassar as a "monster" earlier this summer, when the former longtime USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University team physician pleaded guilty to three federal child pornography charges in July.
Nassar is currently in jail awaiting sentencing in Michigan as he prepares for trial in December over charges that he sexually assaulted nine girls.
Nassar is also being sued by more than 130 women or girls who allege in civil lawsuits that he abused them under the guise of medical treatment. He has repeatedly denied the allegations.
Raisman previously called for sweeping change in USA Gymnastics in August, blaming the program for fostering a culture in which none of the athletes felt they could speak up.
She made similar pleas in her interview with "60 Minutes."
"Why are we looking at why didn't the girls speak up?" Raisman said. "Why not look at what about the culture? What did USA Gymnastics do, and Larry Nassar do, to manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up?"
RELATED: A look at Aly Raisman competing

The Indianapolis Star reported last year that USA Gymnastics held a policy of not reporting sexual abuse complaints unless they were filed by either a victim or a parent.
Ahead of Raisman's interview, the organization released a statement to "60 Minutes," saying the program has since adopted new policies that require "mandatory reporting" if sexual abuse is suspected.
"USA Gymnastics is very sorry that any athlete has been harmed," the program said. "We want to work with Aly and all interested athletes to keep athletes safe."

The information on the impending ban was released during a conference held by the Hoan Kiem district People's Committee on October 1.
As a result, the campaign will see a smoking ban carried out at 30 of the capital's 190 historical and cultural tourist sites around Hoan Kiem district.
The locations include Ngoc Son temple, Ba Kieu temple, Quan Su pagoda, Ba Da pagoda, the Vietnam National Museum of History, the Vietnam Museum of Revolution, the National Library of Vietnam, the Hanoi Opera House, St. Joseph's cathedral, Ham Long church, a historical relic house located at 48 Hang Ngang street, Hoa Lo prison, the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, the Cinéma Palace, and the Heritage House.
In line with the plan, "no smoking" signs will be erected throughout these tourist hotspots during October. Both local people and visitors will be fined if they intentionally violate the regulation.
In addition, the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee are also set to implement the smoke-free model in 12 restaurants and 11 hotels across the district.

Three delicious and quick recipes for sourdough toast snacks
September 20, 2017
You'll learn to love your starter like one of your children (well perhaps not quite as much), and to savour the warm fug that bread-making creates in your kitchen. The bread you make will form the heart of your week's meals. You'll use the bread as toast for breakfast, sliced into generous sandwiches for lunch, alongside warm soups and stews for supper. You can use the starter to make many sorts of bread - and all of it with the wonderful keeping properties and health-giving nourishment of sourdough.

....the mouth-watering smell of a roasting chicken is enough to make a hungry man or woman cry.
Here, for the moment in summer when the garden is bursting with succulent new green vegetables, is a one-pan dish that celebrates both tender chicken and summer veggies.

What started as a simple tasting project, to list and describe common supermarket varieties of strawberry has ended revealing much more than I expected.

I have rediscovered the radish. Their colour and shape is so wonderful. Tiny globes or fingers of scarlet pink, sometimes tipped with pale cream, sometimes unified in one glorious smack of colour.

One morning in May I got a call from Anna (my collaborator on Gather Cook Feast) saying that in order to make Vin D'Epine I would need to get outside quickly and pick the necessary young shoots of blackthorn, or wait another year. The result was a very pretty pink drink, which makes a really delightful springtime aperitif served in tumblers with a very little sparking water, ice and a twist of lemon or orange zest. As I write, it is the beginning of June, so depending on how far north you live, this weekend will be just about the last momen...

Make the very best Ajo Blanco.
May 25, 2017
The smell of fresh turmeric root is green and sappy, like the smell of a snapping elder branch when clambering through undergrowth (if, like me, you ever do climb through undergrowth), together with a wide fragrance of warm spice and a sense that your mother has just polished the wooden table with beeswax.
It's magical used instead of the dry ground stuff in curries, but I was really intrigued to see if it could work with sweet flavours.

The Spring Cabbage called to me from the top of the supermarket shelf, muffled by its clear, flexible plastic wrapping, in a voice that was sort of squeaky and green. I picked it up and checked the origin. Grown in Lincolnshire, UK. Spring Cabbage. Now it had me.

In Houston, Biden pitches plan to triple funding for low-income students
Former Vice President Joe Biden used his first campaign event in Texas on Tuesday to roll out a public education platform that includes tripling federal funding for low-income schools, doubling the number of child psychologists and counselors on campus and expanding access to prekindergarten.
The heart of the plan is tripling the nation's $15 billion in funding for low-income students through a program known as Title I. That boost in funding would require local school districts to raise teacher pay, among other things.
That would have a big impact in Texas, boosting funding for nearly 6,200 of the 8,800 public schools in the state. Nearly every campus in the Houston Independent School District receives Title I funding. HISD reported that in 2018, the district had 256 of 276 campuses receiving the funding.
Speaking at a town hall organized by the American Federation of Teachers, Biden said another key piece to his plan is recognizing that teachers now play many roles in helping students — they are often called on to act as social workers and psychologists, he said, which takes away from valuable teaching time.
Texas Take: Get political headlines from across the state sent directly to your inbox
"You all are expected to do so many things," Biden said to more than 200 people at the town hall hosted by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers #716. "One of the things I believe is essential is we need more nurses and psychologists and access to psychiatrists, social workers."
Biden said he knows that effort will also be expensive — costing over $2 billion — but it has to be a priority.
"Everyone is going to tell you how much they value education," Biden said. "I got an expression I use: Don't tell me what your values are, show me your budget."
Biden's not the only Democratic presidential contender turning to education to win over voters. Two weeks about U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont, rolled out his own education plan that also calls for tripling Title I funding. Former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro has a $1.5 trillion education plan that calls for a $10,000 tax credit for teachers.
In a crowded field of more than 20 Democrats vying for the White House, Biden has surged in early polling since joining the presidential race a month ago. In five different national polls over the last two weeks, Biden had a lead of at least 18 percentage points over the closest Democrat.
President Donald Trump has upped his attacks against Biden as the former vice president climbs in the polls. On Twitter he's labeled him "Sleepy Joe Biden" and while in Japan over the weekend, Trump went after Biden.
"Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual. He probably is, based on his record," Trump said during a news conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
In Houston in his first public appearance since Trump's attacks, Biden did not respond to the attacks and did not take questions from reporters. However, his deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said earlier in a statement that Trump's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the office."
Instead, Biden went after Trump in other ways on Tuesday. Asked about how he'd respected the nation's ethnic diversity, Biden called out Trump for his comments after unrest in Charlottesville when white supremacists marched through the Virginia city.
"He said there were some very fine people on both sides," Biden reminded the crowd.
Biden said since then, hate crimes are up and that Trump has "empowered people to come out from under rocks" like he's never seen before.
Biden's arrival in Houston continues a parade of top contenders through the city. Over the past two months, Sanders, Castro, former El Paso Congressman Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey have been among those who have been to Houston.

'Top Chef' judge Gail Simmons welcomes baby girl
- Her first child turns out to be a girl
- The expert on desserts delivers a treat
Gail Simmons, the dessert specialist on Top Chef, delivered a special treat last weekend: A new baby girl.
Or, as People put it today in reporting the news: "Her bun's out of the oven!"
Simmons, 37, and husband Jeremy Abrams welcomed their first child, Dahlia Rae Abrams, on Dec. 29. The baby, whose gender was a surprise up until birth, weighed in at 7 lbs, 3 oz, according to the magazine, citing Simmons' rep.
Mother, father and baby were said to be doing well.
In October, Simmons said her first pregnancy had been an easy one.
"I really can't complain. It's been amazing," she told the magazine. "I feel great and I have lots of energy. I still have a few months left, and then the actual parenting begins!"
The Canadian-trained culinary expert and food writer is a special projects director for Food & Wine magazine, a judge on Top Chef, and hosts its spin-off, Top Chef: Just Desserts.

Pumpkin is a healthy source of fiber and nutrients for dogs. It helps them digest meat and bones, especially when they are on a raw food diet. Moreover, pumpkin is also a natural remedy for, well, flatulence in dogs. It's not a pretty subject to read about, but it's even less pleasant to experience in person. So if you have a Windy Mindy who loves to cuddle with you on the couch, then perhaps these pumpkin dog treats will make TV time more tolerable (and her tummy will feel better, too).
I feed my dog a raw food diet, which consists mostly of ground-up raw meat, bones, and offal. It's full of nutrients and very close to the diet of wolves. My pampered pooch isn't much of a hunter and, as such, he needs a bit of roughage added to his diet. That's how these pumpkin cookies were born.
To add a little healthy fiber into my dog's diet, I made these quick and easy pumpkin biscuits and I was surprised at the response. I didn't expect him to love them. I thought he would just sort of tolerate them enough to eat them and get some much-needed fiber.
I didn't add any flavoring or strong-smelling ingredients like peanut butter or bacon, and yet he went absolutely crazy for these cookies! I guess it's a treat just being given a biscuit that is made with simple, real ingredients. I'm so pleased because these treats give him the fiber he needs and help ease his flatulence, which is great news for everybody. Here is how to make them for your favorite four-legged friend.
Easy Pumpkin Dog Cookies
- 1 cup of freshly cooked pumpkin or canned pumpkin
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
Make it!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use 1 cup of cooked and pureed pumpkin for this recipe. If you choose to use canned pumpkin, be sure to get unsweetened pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix that has added sugar and spices.
Beat the egg and add it to the pumpkin in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the flour, stir, and then transfer the mixture onto a non-stick surface. Kneed it until just mixed and use a rolling pin to make it ½" thick. Tip: use a little extra flour on the non-stick surface and the rolling pin to prevent sticking.
Transfer the dough onto a cutting board and cut it into a grid of biscuits that are approximately ¾" square for a small dog or 1" square for medium and large dogs.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown. These biscuits will be a bit hard for your teeth, but pooch will love the crunch!
If you want to give these treats away as gifts, add them to plastic gift bags with personalized labels.

Villagers face the prospect of 25 massive wind turbines on their doorstep after a second scheme for their area emerged.
People at Belford in Northumberland are already battling 16 125m engines at Middleton Burn close to the village in a scheme proposed by Air Farmers Ltd.
Now a second scheme has come forward for a further nine turbines, 100m high, in an adjacent field on Sionside Farm. The Belford Burn project is from the British office of German company Energiekontor.
Plans for the turbines go on show in the village tonight and tomorrow night. Last night, the Middleton Burn Action Group – set up to fight that scheme, for which plans have yet to be submitted – vowed to fight the new project.
Chairman Chris Craddock, whose home is just over a mile from both sites, voiced alarm at the idea of both projects being approved. He said the turbines would be visible for miles around and that they will damage the local tourism industry.
Mr Craddock, whose group is planning an exit poll at the public exhibition, said: "It would look like one great field of turbines stretching up the ridge line. It would be absolutely horrendous. We do view this with grave concern and we intend to oppose this development in the same way as we are opposing the Middleton Burn one.
"We think that this will have as bad an effect as the Middleton Burn proposal and is likely to significantly damage tourism. A lot of the people who come to this part of the world are walkers and walkers like peace, tranquility. They do not like seeing 100m high industrial turbines.
"Tourism is the second most important industry in Northumberland. It is probably the most important in Belford. A lot of people who come here to walk will not come if it were covered in industrial turbine developments. It will damage local employment because of its impact on the tourism industry."
No one was available for comment at Energiekontor's Leeds office yesterday.
A newsletter from the company says it carried out feasibility studies which showed the site has "characteristics which make it suitable for wind farm development". The firm has had discussions with Northumberland County Council and other consultees and intends to submit a scoping report to the authority.
The document, published last month, says the developer will seek planning permission to put a monitoring mast on the site before ultimately submitting full plans for the turbines.
The company claims each engine would have a generating capacity of up to 2.5mw, up to 22.5mw in total. Energiekontor says it would set up a community fund of £3,000 per mw, giving a total of up to £67,500.
The firm also says local contractors would be used. A public exhibition on the scheme takes place at Belford First School on West Street tonight from 6pm to 9pm and tomorrow from 5pm to 9pm.

Her personal website: http://www.taradougans.com/
19. Teagan White
Teagan White is a designer and illustrator currently based in Saint Paul, MN, USA.

20. Yuko Shimizu
Yuko Shimizu is a Japanese illustrator based in New York City who has garnered multiple awards throughout her successful career.

@vaughnbros said in [ELD] Deafening Silence:
I'm not solely a dredge pilot. I play every deck in the format.
I don't think I've ever seen a your name in top 8 that wasn't on a Bazaar deck.
You will play that maindeck card in your opening 60 in 100% of matches.
You will play that exclusive Dredge hate card in your game 2/3 in ~5% of matches.
The main deck card choice is in your deck ~10-20 times as frequently played as that hate card.
This isn't that hard, but you seem to want to make it so.
Your math here is super misleading, and it reveals two key flaws in your reasoning.
To begin, Frequency of Use (that is, number of times a card is played per tournament) is not the same thing as Significance or Importance. DPS players will cast Dark Rituals many more times than they will cast Yawgmoth's Will or Necropotence or Tendrils of Agony (or nearly equivalent finisher), but those cards are just as strategically significant.
Moreover, if a player plays with 4 "Random Card X" in their sideboard, but a 1 "Random Card Y" in the maindeck, like a Brian Kelly Peek or Sorcerous Spyglass, for example, although the 1 "Random Card Y" may technically be played more (meaning, actually cast) during the course of a tournament, but the 4-of "Random Card X" may actually be far more important in determining whether the pilot makes Top 8.
Thus, again, frequency of use (rather than appearances) is not the same thing as importance or significance, where importance and significance is how and where a card helps a player win matches or games.
But aside from how you are conflating 'frequency' of use in a tournament with strategic importance in a tournament (they are not even close to the same thing), there is an even more fundamental problem, and it's your main blind spot here: there is no such thing as a "sideboard card."
Again, is Pyroblast a sideboard card? Force of Vigor? Stony Silence?
What makes a card more likely to be played in a sideboard v. a maindeck has nothing to do with a card's inherent qualities, and everything to do with the structure or composition of the metagame, and how that card interacts with that structure.
Simply put, cards that are excellent against certain strategies, but weak against most of a metagame are more likely to be used in a sideboard. Whereas cards that are great against a wide range of strategies, but weak against a smaller portion of a given metagame are more likely to be played maindeck.
So, for example, in a metagame that is 70% blue decks, Pyroblast is more likely to be a maindeck card, and if the metagame is only 10% graveyard based, then Tormod's Crypt is more likely to be a sideboard card.
But if the compositional structure of a metagame shifts, so that graveyard strategies are 70% of the metagame, and blue decks are 10%, then then positions of Pyroblasts vis-a-vis Tormod's Crypts between maindeck and sideboards shifts accordingly.
Some decks, like transform boards and Dredge, use most of their SB in every matchup so that is certainly different. But these are atypical from Blue/Shops/others that devote large portions of their SB for 1 or 2 MUs.
The other part of my argument. Leyline vs Crypt vs Cage is again marginal differences. Just like this card vs Pyroblast vs Kambal vs Flusterstorm are only marginally different in power level. Just like me choosing to eat chicken wings vs a fried chicken sandwich. I'm likely to get very similar utility from it.
I could not disagree more with this principle that strategic answers are basically fungible or just different at the margins. The differences between options at a tactical level are actually massive gulfs in any particular event, even if the oscillations between the value or utility of options changes so frequently that in the very long run the differences appear marginal. Optimization per tournament matters. It can be the difference between making Top 8 or not, and winning a tournament or not.
If you are guaranteed to have X copies of a particular effect the existence of the card is only responsible for the additional marginal value it is providing you. This card might win you a few more games against Storm than a Flusterstorm would, when they Duress you before going off. But could also lose them too, when they just bounce it and go off.
Yes, but the card that actually wins you more games in a particular tournament is the optimal card. And tournament results, in the aggregate, are the means by which we observe this, combined with experienced judgment and insight of players in assessing this.
This is dramatically different from the impact of say Bazaar of Baghdad or Mishra's Workshop that make an entire class of decks possible. Comparing the frequency of Bazaar top 8s to the frequency of Bazaar-hate cards top 8ing is missing the entire context of the results.
No, actually - they are interrelated. That's what makes your original comment that frequency of appearances in a sideboard top 8 is irrelevant so erroneous.
Large scale use of a particular tactic in sideboard of Top 8 decks is indicative of some underlying fact or set of facts, which we then use our judgment to discern.
If there are alot of Workshop or Dredge hate in a sideboard, then that may tell us both about the prevalence and/or power of the Workshop and Dredge strategies. We then use our experience and judgment to know the difference, and whether it is one, both or something else.
In the case of Grafdigger's Cage, part of the reason the card saw so much play wasn't just that was optimal in any particular matchup, but that it was broadly useful and hyper-efficient in a range of matchups. Thus, for example, it could be used against Oath and Dredge. If we see alot of Grafdigger's Cages, then it's a signal to see what role it's playing in the metagame, to try to understand why it's there, and then we can glean new insights about the structure of the format and the dynamics in tournament play.
On top of this all, top 8s frequency or prevalence in general as a measure of success, as Mikey just pointed out, can be highly inaccurate even for MD cards.
That's why we look over time and in the aggregate rather than a single case.
Top 8 appearances of a particular card tells us how good a card is because, in the aggregate, cards help players win games, matches, and thereby tournaments.
If a card is really bad or just suboptimal, over time, it will be weeded out, even if a single player sticks with it. Tournaments are basically simulations of a format, over and over again, and aggregate results give us insight into optimization. It's just a hive mind attacking a problem over and over again.

"A Pen Of Feathers Dipped In The Ebony Ink"
Dairy: I have a question in references to why is Wendy's ebony Ink very useful? Wendy used the ink pen which is the purified embodiment, of a bird's fluffy feathers, when it is gently and creatively dipped into ink.
For her main idea and whole purpose, which is to allow her readers to not only examined themselves, but to make them think.
By deeply showing others that loving one Spiritually and unconditionally, has the fountain of the forgiving sins, whereas unified together, can receive the cleansing drink.

Medicaid changes include incentives, flexibility
North Carolina's top health official says changing how Medicaid treats patients and pays for services aims to provide incentives and the flexibility to help consumers stay well.
Health and Human Services Secretary Rick Brajer spoke Tuesday after he and top staff told a General Assembly committee how it intends to carry out the Medicaid overhaul agreed to by lawmakers and Gov. Pat McCrory last September.
Medicaid's current fee-for-service system will be replaced with one in which the state contracts with commercial managed-care companies or local hospital networks. These "prepaid health plans" would receive a set amount of money for each patient served.
Brajer's agency will file federal waivers to operate the program in June. But it will be at least mid-2019 until the new system comes online.

In early 2003, when it was only rumored that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were an item, I knew it was so. I was staying with my wife at the boutique Delano Hotel in South Beach as my birthday gift to her. I had taken Jill specifically to that hotel because through a friend of a friend's friend I heard Beyoncé would be staying there because she was performing a concert in Miami. At the time (and to this day), my wife adored Beyoncé and it was my mission to introduce them. I figured, in such a small hotel, chances were good we would run into Lady B.
The morning of the show, I was working out at the hotel's gym and none other than Jay-Z walked in — just him plus a superhuman-looking bodyguard. The gym was closet-size, and we were the only people working out, so we ended up overlapping on equipment and had a good conversation. While I never asked him about Beyoncé, he admitted he was in town to support a friend on a project.
What struck me about Jay was how very busy he was (2003 was one of the hottest years of his Roc-A-Fella dynasty), yet how important it was for him to put things on hold and physically be present to hold his "friend" down.
Since that day, I knew there was something special between Jay-Z and Beyoncé, and while I've only been privy to what is shared in the media, there are eight distinct reasons why I love Jay-Z and Beyoncé's love.

Presto's Drop Tester is designed as per IS: 7028, Part IV standard. It is a useful instrument to determine the transport value of solid fibre boxes, corrugated boxes and shipping containers. It has an angular drop arrangement to correctly determine the transport worthiness of the package from all angles.
The drop test is performed to measure the ability of corrugated boxes and fibreboard cartons and containers to stand with vertical impact in free drops. The test is performed one time and more than one time to analyse various conditions that occur on a package during transit and handling. It serves as the best equipment for performance analysis and package design before production and use.
Reason for testing:
The drop test is performed to gauge the effect of shock in transit to avoid the progressive deterioration of products that can keep the product to be unused.
Drop tester is widely used in several industries to test and to substantiate the potency of corrugated boxes. The machine operates by dropping a test specimen from a certain height to ascertain the strength of the specimen. The testing equipment can be customized and made available in different specifications as per the demand of the customer.

New in Newark
Learn more, and give your feedback, about the new South Ward PATH train stop
Published November 22, 2017 | Brick City Live
A stop in Newark's South Ward will be a part of Port Authority's $1.7 billion PATH train extension to Newark Liberty International Airport.
A pair of public forums on November 28th and 30th will provide local residents and stakeholders with more information about the extension, and will give community members an opportunity to weigh in.
The PATH Extension program is meant to improve transit the airport for travelers and employees from Newark, Jersey City, and New York City. Riders in the neighborhoods surrounding the South Ward's Dayton Street area will also enjoy easier access to Downtown Newark, Jersey City and Lower Manhattan.
The November 28th hearing will take place at the Weequahic Park Field House (92 Carmichael Drive–entrance at Meeker Avenue), and the November 30th session in the Garden State Ballroom at Hilton Newark Penn Station (1048 Raymond Boulevard). Both sessions will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., with presentations at 5:30 and 7 p.m.
In addition to the new PATH Station, other transportation facilities are on the table for the project.

A national cyber strategy may finally be on the way
With help from Eric Geller and Martin Matishak
CYBER PLAN WAITING THE BIG UNVEIL — A "National Cyber Strategy" is at the White House awaiting approval, a senior Defense Department official said Wednesday. "I understand that it should be forthcoming in the near future," Kenneth Rapuano, assistant secretary of Defense for homeland defense and global security, told the House Armed Services Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee on Wednesday. Once it's released, the Pentagon will then "enhance our cyber posture approach — which we'll be providing by August — to sync with that national strategy," he said.
The Trump administration has come under withering, bipartisan criticism on Capitol Hill for its lack of a defined cyber war doctrine. Lawmakers, along with experts and policy specialists, have argued the absence of such guidelines have hindered the country's ability to fight back online against its digital adversaries, including nations such as Russia and terrorist groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Last year's annual defense policy bill (H.R. 2810) tasked the president's team with developing a "national policy for the United States relating to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber warfare." It's unclear whether the strategy document is the same one that the bill mandated, and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Rapuano said one of the reasons it's taken the administration so long to hammer out a policy is because "it's very hard." "There are a lot of evolving dynamics at play and we still have a relatively new administration," he added. "There are competing views." And U.S. Cyber Command chief Adm. Mike Rogers noted that "cyber is a component" of the White House's national security strategy and national defense strategy.
Rep. Liz Cheney welcomed the news before warning that the recent, "significant turnover" at the National Security Council, including President Donald Trump's homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert, can't "add to the amount of time that is going to be … taken up in putting this strategy together."
HAPPY Thursday and welcome to Morning Cybersecurity! Your MC host's excessively intelligent cat, Meow Ming, has learned how to push down the stopper in the bathroom sink and turn on the faucet. If I ever die in an apartment flood, you now know the culprit. Send your thoughts, feedback and especially tips to [email protected], and be sure to follow @POLITICOPro and @MorningCybersec. Full team info below.
WATCH THIS SPACE — Rogers also told the subcommittee that there are ongoing discussions about allowing U.S. Cyber Command to operate outside of warzones. "On the offensive side, I feel very comfortable about the authorities we have currently put in place to apply cyber in areas of designated hostility. The Syrias, the Iraqs, the Afghanistans of the world. We are doing operations there almost every day," he told lawmakers. However, "the area where I think we still need to get to a little more speed and agility … it's an area that's currently under review right now, we're working our way through — what is the level of comfort in applying those capabilities outside the designated areas of hostility? And how could we potentially speed that up?"
The talks about possibly tweaking Cyber Command's existing authorities could potentially have far-reaching impact on the Pentagon's digital operations long into the future. Rogers, who didn't say which agencies are involved in the discussions, stressed that the organization, or its chief, should not be given "a blank ticket to do whatever they want. That is not appropriate." He added that he is "trying to figure out is what is an appropriate balance."
TOGETHER, APART — Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told House appropriators Wednesday that the department is working to tailor digital threat information for specific industries, rather than providing the data in a blanket form. "We're really focused on getting more threat information into their hands and in a tailored way," she said, noting that the needs of, say, the water sector differ from others. Nielsen also told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security that she's trying to better integrate the respective cybersecurity work of DHS's various agencies, including the Secret Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Science and Technology division and the National Protection and Programs Directorate.
TSK TSK, NEEDS WORK — The software tools that DHS uses to protect its most sensitive intelligence systems do not work well together, according to the DHS inspector general. The department, the IG said, lacks "documented procedures," "formal training" and specific measurement metrics for those tools. In an unclassified summary of the full report, which was dated March 12 but published this week, auditors made three recommendations to fix these problems. They also issued a recommendation to the Secret Service regarding that agency's failure to develop a process "to ensure its employees and contractors complete the required annual security awareness training."
IRS ON NOTICE — The House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday approved several bills retooling how the IRS and Treasury Department handle cybersecurity and identity theft prevention. Among the bills that the committee sent to the House floor by voice vote were a measure (H.R. 5437) that would require Treasury to issue "identity protection personal identification numbers," and one (H.R. 5439) that would create a citizen ombudsperson at the IRS for victims of tax-related identity theft. A third measure (H.R. 5444) would require a report to Congress by Sept. 30, 2020, outlining a plan to modernize the IRS, including its cyber defenses. And finally, the fourth bill (H.R. 5445) would direct the Treasury secretary to work more closely with the private sector to protect Americans from identity theft. "This collection of targeted, bipartisan solutions will help address problems that many Americans struggle with," Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said at the markup.
THREE IS A TREND — Another top National Security Council official is out, the third since new national security adviser John Bolton entered the scene in place of H.R. McMaster. Nadia Schadlow, deputy national security adviser for strategy, follows the exit of homeland security adviser Tom Bossert and the council's chief spokesperson, Michael Anton. Schadlow is credited with leading the drafting of Trump's national security strategy, released in December. That document identified the proliferation of cyber weapons as a threat to the United States' military supremacy, and cyberattacks as a threat to democracy and the economy.
A WAVE OF (EUROPEAN) MUTILATION — Two European leaders on Wednesday freshly accused Russia of launching cyberattacks against their nations. U.K. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Russian cyber criminals were behind 49 hack attempts in the past six months, targeting the country's critical infrastructure. She characterized it as part of "a significant increase in the scale and severity of malicious cyber activity globally," and said that the government "will not tolerate this." Meanwhile, Germany's head of domestic intelligence, Hans-Georg Maassen, said the Russian government was almost certainly responsible for an attack on German government computer networks, news of which broke in late February.
RECENTLY ON PRO CYBERSECURITY — Trump and Clinton campaign officials said they received no notifications from Facebook about Russian hacking attempts on their pages, apparently differing from the account by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. … Zuckerberg clarified that he was referring to alerts to the Democratic and Republican national committees. … The 33-year-old billionaire also said he had seen no signs of Russia or China scraping his site for user data. … "Rep. Ben Ray Luján pressed Mark Zuckerberg today on allegations that Facebook creates 'shadow profiles' of people who don't even use the social network." … Zuckerberg said his own data was part of a tranche of data sold to what Rep. Anna Eshoo called "malicious third parties."
Rep. Marsha Blackburn asked Zuckerberg to support her data privacy legislation. … Zuckerberg's House hearing didn't go as smoothly as his Senate hearing. … The acting CEO of Trump-affiliated Cambridge Analytica, at the center of the current controversy over Facebook's handling of user data, has stepped down. … A Russian company charged in special counsel Robert Mueller's election interference probe has hired lawyers. … House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes threatened to seek impeachment of FBI Director Christopher Wray if he doesn't produce the document that initiated the bureau's probe of ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. (He later got what he wanted and backed off, reportedly.)
TWEET OF THE DAY — Brutal.
— Daniel Kroese, chief of staff to Rep. John Ratcliffe, is leaving the job to take a position as a senior adviser at the Homeland Security Department's main cybersecurity hub, the NPPD. Ratcliffe is the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's cybersecurity subpanel.
— Third Way's Mieke Eoyang says House Speaker Paul Ryan's retirement plans free him up to fire Nunes over his stewardship of the Intelligence Committee. POLITICO Magazine.

— "When Identity Thieves Hack Your Accountant." Krebs on Security.
— Voting machine manufacturers and cybersecurity experts are at odds over vulnerability testing. CyberScoop.
— Big breaches and forthcoming European Union data regulations are driving companies to change their behavior, according to a poll from Scale Venture Partners.
CORRECTION: The April 11 edition of Morning Cybersecurity incorrectly identified the government Tom Bossert blamed for orchestrating the WannaCry malware attack. He blamed the North Korean government.
That's all for today. "I gotta get a pair of cat handcuffs and I gotta get 'em right away."

Off-plan modern Fethiye apartment for sale. Luxury homes close to the beach and centre in the popular resort of Calis. Affordable Fethiye investment.
The Turkey Homes team are very pleased to present this new off-plan development of luxury apartments in Fethiye for sale, modern homes located a mere 400m from the beach in the popular resort of Calis.
Calis sits just across from Fethiye's busy town centre and harbour and is known for its amazing sunsets and long beach promenade that offers many restaurants and bars, the perfect spot to enjoy the sunsets with a silhouette of palm trees and the sound of the sea splashing on the pebbles as you enjoy a relaxed evening meal and a cool bottle of wine.
Amenities in Calis provide much more than the promenade, with almost everything you can think of located in the area even down to a state hospital and lots of supermarkets dotted about for all of your grocery needs.
The area has also lots to offer in terms of daily excursions, with historical tours to the local ghost village of Kayakoy, relaxing daily boat tours, fun-filled jeep safaris taking in the stunning Saklikent Gorge with its ice cold fast flowing waters, or if you dare you can go tandem paragliding from the top of Babadag mountain landing down at the famous Oludeniz beach.
Development Location
Whether you are in search of a holiday home, looking to relocate to the Calis area or seeking a buy-to-let investment in Fethiye, this off-plan project of luxury apartments for sale in Calis will tick all the right boxes, located a short 5-minutes walk from the beach and promenade, a similar distance to the local water park and around 2-minutes to supermarkets, shops and restaurants etc.
Local buses run very close by to the centre of Fethiye and other areas, or you can hop on the water taxi and take the scenic and rather relaxing route across the bay to the harbour and enjoy a day of shopping or head off around the Fethiye peninsula to one of the popular private beach clubs.
Small Private Complex
The apartments are being built to offer a walled and gated environment with just 12 apartments in total, with the reputable developer assuring that the homes will be completed to very high standards and will conform to all the latest building regulations set by the Turkish government.
Due for completion in June 2019 with a choice of six 1 bedroom ground floor apartments or six 3 bedroom first-floor duplex apartments which will be set in two small blocks with professionally landscaped gardens and a central communal swimming pool and sunbathing terrace set between the two blocks to give each home a view over the pool area.
1 Bedroom Layout
Entrance to the 1 bedroom ground floor apartments will be to the rear of the blocks, reached via a pathway leading from two entrance gates.
A steel entrance door will enter directly into the open-plan living area to be laid with quality laminate flooring and to feature a modern corner kitchen to the rear which will be fitted with quality units, granite work surfaces and tiled splash backs.
The dining will sit just off the kitchen with the lounge to be located at the far end to host a set of sliding patio doors that will provide ample natural light and access to a large private garden terrace which will sit just inches from the swimming pool, enjoy alfresco dining in the evening by the lights of the pool, or simply relax as the children play in the pool.
A short hallway will lead off the lounge/diner, to host a utility area with the housing and plumbing for a washing machine and a door to access the bedroom, a double bedroom which will host further sliding patio doors that will open to a French balcony with a view of the swimming pool.
The bathroom will be located just off the kitchen, to be fully tiled from floor to ceiling and fitted with the latest modern sanitary ware.
