Hi- really helpful site..Mobile catering appears a bit of a minefield!!!!!!
I'm new to this, but like many people, I'm sick of the employee thing and am thinking of giving mobile baked potatoes a go?? I've seen a trailer
I like and think it's tidy but it only has one sink and no boiler in the unit. I've read a story saying two sinks are required with running hot and cold water.
I'm imagining this is a requirement by environmental health-but don't know!!!!!Could you put me straight as it's ambiguous...also are there any other requirements of the practicalities/setup of the trailer that would prevent trading if not in place/installed as the fixtures and fittings. Many thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Cultural and sporting events both possess strengths in the area of promoting community within an environment. The atmosphere created by each is a key factor in the ability of these events to foster community spirit within a region. These activities also contribute to the building of communities in other areas, such as financial economic development. Yet, the ways in which these two types of events do this are vastly different.
The exploration of these methods, the different atmospheres created, as well as their impact on the community will offer insight into the contribution that sporting and cultural events make to community and society as a whole.
One of the major differences to be found between sporting and cultural events is in the dominant motive for the existence of each. Sporting events are generally driven by the profit motive, and as such are often spectator events. People come mainly to view the games and cheer for given teams.
If however, such a team is doing badly on the regional or international scene, members of the community might lose interest in attending that particular event. The sense of community that arises as a result of sporting events is therefore vastly different from that which comes about as a result of a cultural event. During a sport event, supporters of two or more teams are usually present. This creates a strong divide between those who support one team and those who are in favour of its rival.
The tension present between these teams, though usually kept under control, does have the potential to create hostility and thereby shatter the community spirit. However, where there is healthy rivalry present, community spirit can be promoted and solidified at the end of the event when respect for the victorious team is freely given by its rival and their supporters. Also, in such cases where an underdog team triumphs, newly found appreciation for that team has the potential of strengthening the ties between the different communities involved—locally, regionally and internationally.
In contrast, cultural events are usually traditional and annual events with little tension derived from competition. They are not necessarily driven by the profit motive, and supporters are usually quite loyal in their attendance. Some examples of such cultural events are Independence Day functions (in some countries), coronation services, arts and theatre events such as ballets, symphonies, and oratorios.
The community of attendants to such events usually exists in a much more relaxed state, and because of the common traditions that are usually the progenitors of such an event, the attendants at a cultural event are usually more inclined to agree, share, and talk about the occurrences at such events. They share and enjoy a common enjoyment as they experience similar emotions in conjunction with the events. The ability of cultural events to promote community can further be seen in such artistic and cultural projects that promote the lifestyle and origins of certain cultures that might have been marginalised in society.
Aboriginal culture shows and other minority showcases have the potential of making visible certain aspects of ethnic/minority culture that might have been ignored in former times (Fraser, 2006). Members of the majority have the opportunity of showing interest in these cultural aspects of the lives of marginalised members of society, and this has the advantage of creating and solidifying relationships among different members of a diverse society.
Sporting events also have the capacity to do this. Allowing diversity to infiltrate sporting events promotes social inclusion and a stronger sense of community. Because sporting events are primarily viewed events (as opposed to participatory events) the persons who form the teams have the opportunity to set an example of inclusion and tolerance and thereby promote such community-building practices in the wider regions to which spectators belong.
In the final analysis, it might appear that the cultural activities and events do a bit more than sporting events to promote community, as they offer very little occasion for rivalry. However, the ability of sporting events to promote community through inclusion and the potential for increased respect should not be overlooked. Reference Fraser, J. (2006).

Lawyer Nico Du Plessis was assaulted and beaten outside the Tonga Magistrate's Court in Mpumalanga, South Africa on January 21 for defending suspected child killer. The lawyer said he dreads returning to court this coming Wednesday.
"I was really scared, I thought I was going to die especially when they mentioned that I would be killed. I sustained various injuries. I went to the doctor who examined me and gave me a J88 form. It shows marks around my neck where I was strangled with my tie, I have bruises and injuries due to being kicked all over my body," said Du Plessis.
He explained that the crowd was angry with him because he was representing two men charged with the murder of a 3-year-old girl, whose body has never been found.
"I was attacked because I represented two accused in court and I wanted to apply for bail for them. I don't feel safe anymore. However, I will have to ask the police to secure the place so that I can proceed with the case.
The case involved the kidnapping and possible murder of the girl on November 29 last year. The accused, Luis Sithole, Sfiso Mazibe, Themba Myambo and Jabulani Ndlovu have been charged with murder, despite the lack of a body. Du Plessis is representing Myambo and Ndlovu. He said he will take legal action against his attackers.
"I am busy opening a case in Nelspruit. I will submit my statement this week to the police."
He said the Director of Public Prosecutions had refused to move the case to a safer venue.
Meanwhile, Tonga police spokesperson Lieutenant Mzwandile Nyambi says police will be at the court to make sure there isn't another attack on Du Plessis
"We will deploy more police in court to make sure that the incident doesn't happen again. We urge residents not to take the law into their own hands," he said.

It took Matthew Tatoczenko and his two roommates a little more than a month to get what they thought was their full security deposit refund on their Worthington Street apartment owned by NorthSteppe Realty.
The tenants were originally supposed to get back $1,250, said Tatoczenko, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, but they only got $770 back after the landlords said they needed the rest for cleaning fees.
After thinking more about the situation, the roommates decided to contact Student Legal Services to help them file a lawsuit, which they won.
Since its start in 2011, SLS has provided legal services for more than 11,300 students. About 34 percent of those matters involve advice and representation for criminal and traffic offenses, and the remaining 66 percent involve landlord-tenant issues, consumer transactions and debt collection defense, among others, said Molly Hegarty, managing director of the SLS.
The SLS program was originally known as the Student Housing Legal Clinic, where its focus was on landlord and tenant matters, but after a resolution passed by the Board of Trustees in 2010, the scope of the services expanded to providing help for criminal, misdemeanor, consumer transaction and traffic offenses, uncontested domestic matters and document drafting.
Students are required to pay a fee for Student Legal Services, which they can choose to opt out of. It costs $40 for the full year, or $23 if the student is enrolled in the spring and wasn't in the fall. To enroll for the summer alone, a student would pay $6.
One of the staff attorneys, Alyson Tucker, a former Franklin County Public Defender, said she keeps in mind that students are scared to visit the SLS because they think visiting the office is related to having done something wrong.
"In a lot of our cases (the students) didn't do anything wrong. I think they're just afraid of 'what if someone sees me going in here,'" Tucker said.
The biggest fear students usually have is that their parents will find out about any legal trouble they run into, which is most often underage consumption or possession of alcohol, Tucker said. However, everything between the attorney and the client is confidential and stays between the two, and unless otherwise noted, third parties such as parents can't become involved, she added.
The more sensitive cases are those that involve stalking and sexual assault, which Tucker said becomes SLS' top priority when a victim gets in touch with the office.
"We have enough flexibility and enough attorneys here to move things around," Tucker said. "If you schedule an appointment two days out, I'm going to call you and see if you can come in the same day."
Although Tucker said they will make every attempt to see clients for any case as soon as possible, the process of how the office goes about the case depends on the comfort level of the victim. First, the office meets with the victim when he or she feels fit. Then they are given advice on how to go about the matter, she added.
"It's an area we did not expect to have so much representation in, but it's become one of our most proud areas," Tucker said of SLS' handling of sexual assault and stalking cases.
The program works with student organizations, Greek Life and the Student Wellness Center's Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching program by holding events and information sessions, Hegarty said.
Hegarty said the SLS is working with the Sexual Violence Education and Support staff (from the Student Wellness Center) to come up with a signature event to raise awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness month in April.
"We do a lot in terms of outreach so that other offices on campus know who we are," Hegarty said. "So that when they have a student in their office, and vice-versa, we know about each other so that we can refer to each other."
But SLS' legal guidance only goes so far. The office cannot represent students with a felony charge. The office instead gives a referral to another firm, as well as guidance regarding what to expect from legal proceedings, Hegarty said.
"They can come in here and start here and get referral resources from us," she said.
Hegarty said SLS sees a variety of students throughout their college careers for many different reasons.
"We often are the services people don't need until they need us," Hegarty said.
Correction: Feb. 20
A previous version of this article said the Board of Trustees passed a resolution in 2011 expanding the scope of services of a program originally known as the Student Housing Legal Clinic. In fact, this resolution was passed in 2010.

Hillary Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin is already a person of interest to investigators, thanks to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch to learn more about her highly irregular employment arrangements at the State Department, and her possible abuse of paid leave time.
Among the many eyebrow-raising features of the Abedin story is the State Department's assertion that she simply never received multiple requests, sent both electronically and by surface mail, to hand over all of the government documents in her possession.
This is one of the most famous women in Washington – once a celebrated rising star, groomed to be Hillary's Mini-Me, a duchess in the Clinton royal court, subject of a hundred fawning profiles in political and pop-culture magazines – and the Obama Administration claims it could not successfully send her a letter. Furthermore, it's a letter they shouldn't have to send. Why do Clinton and her persons of hench think they can sit on documents belonging to the American people for as long as they please?
It looks like Abedin is sinking deeper into the Clinton email scandal. One recalls hearing a few half-hearted denials from Clintonworld that Abedin had an account on Hillary's black-box mail server, but that talking point is now as dead as the "no classified information ever passed through my system" lie. Politico reports that Abedin is lawyering up, as she becomes a "central figure in the email scandal that's haunting her boss on the campaign trail":
The 2016 Democratic front-runner on Monday told a federal judge that Abedin — long considered her boss's keeper and even dubbed her "shadow" — had her own email account on Clinton's now infamous home-brewed server, "which was used at times for government business," Clinton acknowledged. That's an unusual arrangement, even for top brass at the State Department.
Abedin has hired a team of lawyers, one of whom is a former Clinton aide, who are responding to information requests from the courts and State. They've denied any wrongdoing on the part of their client and said Abedin is cooperating with requests for official emails in her possession, aiming to turn over all her correspondence by the end of August.
But her lawyers didn't respond to questions about emails on Clinton's separate server.
And after an inspector general found that Clinton had at least two "top secret" emails stored on her unsecured computer network, Abedin is likely to face more questions from congressional investigators, and perhaps others, about her access to Clinton's system.
Abedin had been granted "special government employee" status, allowing her to work both for Clinton and the private sector — and it's unclear if she continued using the server that appears to have held classified information following her departure from her full-time State gig.
That would be the "special employment status" that allowed Abedin to pull down both a plush government salary from taxpayers and paychecks from private-sector employers – one of which a company that benefited greatly from Abedin's, shall we say, creative use of her State Department position. The other was the Clinton Foundation, the dodgy charity set up by the Clintons to keep their political retainers paid off and ready for her presidential campaign.
It is entirely appropriate for law enforcement and the intelligence community to investigate the consequences of someone with Abedin's unusual employment situation having access to a mail server that was illegally processing top-secret information, with the top-secret classifications stripped away, perhaps even after she was no longer a government employee at all.
"What happens if [a former government employee] still retains access through a prior server, to information that was justified by a previous position? That's not supposed to happen — and that's one of the anomalies that are created by the private server," said Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, as quoted by Politico.
Replace "anomalies" with "federal crimes" to grasp the full magnitude of the storm descending upon Clintonworld. The exposure of top-secret information is not a little bitty mistake, and the people who create such insecure environments are not patted upon the head and told to do better next time.
Politico also relates the words of a "well-informed but unnamed tipster" to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the State Department is very quietly investigating Abedin for criminal misconduct in connection with her very special status as a hybrid government / private employee. Abedin's legal team doesn't so much dispute this report as insist they haven't been formally notified of any such State Department investigation.
The usual Democrat stonewalls are up, as lawful investigations by duly-elected representatives of the American people are dismissed as partisan "Republican" political ploys, which means the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, can spend two years asking for details about Abedin's special deal and get blown off by the Administration he supposedly oversees.
In a similar vein, a federal judge can order Abedin to hand over all of her work emails, with a sworn statement indicating total compliance, and she can simply ignore the request. Another federal judge ordered the State Department to "expedite" processing of emails related to a lawsuit from the Associated Press, and got nothing for two years.
If the rule of law ever returns to this country, Democrats are in deep trouble, but for right now they and their media pals can treat judicial orders and subpoenas as "requests" they are at liberty to ignore.
Will Hillary's email scandal perhaps mark the beginning of the Rule of Law's return, and the end of aristocratic special privileges for high-ranking members of the ruling Party? It's difficult to imagine someone with a much-touted status as Hillary Clinton's right hand – the person who often answered the phone when even Bill Clinton tried to call Hillary – could trot away from Emailgate without a scratch on her.
On the other hand, Abedin looks like an excellent choice to be the fall guy, the Clinton minion who takes the hit to keep Madame Hillary from being indicted in the midst of a presidential campaign. Her close relationship with Hillary would seem to make her an odd choice for the flunky who goes under the bus, but that's not how things work in Clintonworld.
In fact, one of Abedin's private employers, Douglas Band of Teneo Holdings, was essentially the male version of Abedin for Bill Clinton back in the Nineties – described by many as the "son Clinton never had," according to a profile of Abedin at National Review – and he was cast aside when scandal turned him into a political liability.
NR suggests a similar fate would be unlikely for Abedin because Hillary Clinton is already stuck deep in the quicksand of her email scandal, and it would be hard for her to make the case that she was wholly unaware of the conflict-of-interest issues Abedin is under scrutiny for.
Are those really such insurmountable obstacles for Clinton damage control tactics? Hillary will do her "confused old lady" routine and claim Abedin was responsible for managing the Secretary of State's communications infrastructure – why, she even handles Hillary's phone calls, don't you know! She'll pronounce herself surprised and disappointed by anything objectionable Abedin did with the unique immunity to conflict-of-interest regulations she was granted.
Abedin might be a good enough soldier to go along with it, especially if she thinks Clinton's presidential campaign is still viable, and can perhaps count on an Obama pardon to shield her from anything worse than mild embarrassment.
She is, or was, a political superstar who was not yet broadly famous among general news consumers. The Democrat political establishment will be quite willing to grant her sympathy, and victim status as the target of a Republican political jihad, especially if Clinton ends up winning the presidency. In that case, Abedin might even get left-wing folk-hero status as the loyal retainer who took a hit so Queen Hillary could ascend her rightful throne. It would hardly be the strangest tale ever told in that greedy, dishonest, lawless, and inept kingdom along the Potomac.

The images are classed as 'level C', which means they are of under-aged people alone.
Mystery still surrounds the fate of 42 other images, for which Rock was originally charged but not tried.
This Writer welcomes a comment by Vox Political reader 'loobitzh', that puts the issue of whether an image is indecent into context:
"For me the fact that the girls were not naked is irrelevant, as is the level of perceived indecency.
"It's the fact that these young girls have probably been groomed and/or exploited to pose for them that's more the point.
"That's sexual abuse in itself, and to have this man download these images of underage children is not excusable on the grounds of them resembling Britney Spears-type images.
"I can't remember how old Britney was in the photos mentioned, but if she were underage, then she was likely also groomed and exploited by paedophiles.
"I hope this kind of defense doesn't set some kind of precedent!
"Just occurred to me that this story could be some form of propaganda designed to alter public perception, opinion of such abuse etc…."
A former aide to Prime Minister David Cameron has been found guilty of five counts of making indecent photographs of children.
Earlier Patrick Rock, 65, was cleared on two counts of downloading pictures of scantily-clad under-age girls.
A jury at Southwark Crown Court in London are still deliberating on 13 charges. Rock has denied all the charges of making an indecent photograph of a child.

4 HR Software Tools No HR Manager Should Live Without
When you think about the mountain of rules and regulations that apply to all HR managers, it's clear why employing and managing people is almost impossible without an HR software toolkit.
Just some of your legal obligations include:
- Ensuring a safe working environment
- Paying your employees correct wages under the applicable modern award
- Issuing pay slips to employees
- Sending PAYG tax instalments to the Australian Taxation Office
- Choosing a default super fund and paying superannuation contributions under the Superannuation Guarantee.
- Keeping appropriate records
Using HR software means you don't have to spend all your time processing paperwork and getting to grips with the complex legislation, the HRIS does it for you. HR software automates many complex processes and keeps you keep up-to-date with employment compliance requirements.
But it's about more than HR compliance. Here are the other areas you need to cover in your HR software toolkit.
4 HR software tools that make life easier
1. Onboarding software
Without HR software, onboarding is a particularly paper-intensive and time consuming process that you can't avoid. But with employee onboarding software as part of you HR toolkit, you can onboard new hires quickly and easily.
With a paperless onboarding solution like Employment Hero, you can get all the paperwork out of the way before your new hire starts, setting them up for a more engaging and memorable first day.
You can digitise the process of them signing their letter of engagement, employment policy acceptance, filling out tax declaration forms, superannuation choice forms, and providing personal information and bank account details.
The software helps you track the progress of your new hires as they move through the onboarding process and equips them with everything they need to be successful and satisfied within the company.
With onboarding software you can immerse your new starters in your company culture from day one, instilling them with the knowledge and behaviours that will contribute to their success and long tenure with your company. See our onboarding checklist for more.
2. Payroll software
Once you've successfully onboarded new hires, there's no business process quite as important as paying your employees accurately, and on time, every pay cycle.
Even minor delays in paying staff, or inadvertently under paying your employees their due entitlements can have serious consequences for your business (think reputational damage and huge fines care of Fair Work Australia). By the same token, not paying your staff on time can seriously impact your team's morale, and with it, their productivity and levels of engagement.
Given the crossover between HR and payroll, it makes sense to have one source of truth. Without payroll software integrated with your HRIS, your HR files and your payroll system can get out of sync. With employee data kept in separate files, it's labour intensive and time consuming to do even basic reporting.
An integrated HRIS/payroll system will ensure that everything is in sync, systematic, and easy to manage. No need to enter data from one system to another. No need to reconcile data. No need to keep banks of manila folders under lock and key. All your sensitive HR and payroll data is held securely in the cloud under stringent security measures.
3. Learning management system
Having opportunities to learn and grow are a huge factor in why people choose to work at a business and importantly, stay with them. So, when it comes to attraction and retention providing your employees with training and career development opportunities is a smart move.
That's why a Learning Management System (LMS) is another important tool in your HR arsenal. And more so, having training and development options easily accessible through one platform is a useful tool to help change employees' perceptions of learning and help people to develop their own learning style.
This in turn can give employees the opportunity they need to grow within the company, so they should stick around for the long haul.
Having this functionality as part of your HRIS means it's much easier to identify employees who need training and certification to meet necessary requirements. With an LMS you can also track training and education details, which makes it simple to compile reports you need to show compliance.
4. Employee engagement software
Having engaged employees is a top priority for most businesses because it translates into higher productivity, lower absenteeism, reduced turnover, increased efficiency, and employees showing greater pride in their work.
So, employee engagement software is a critical component of your HR manager's toolkit. Use it to solicit and track employee feedback, understand employee sentiment, recognise employee achievements, and promote positive behaviour.
Whereas the traditional performance review process is an annual one, cloud-based software allows you to track performance and engagement as part of the everyday working experience.
You can introduce regular check-ins about ongoing work with your people to get a better sense of completed work, and any challenges in meeting upcoming deadlines. These meetings also give you the opportunity to listen to your employees and provide feedback and direction when it really matters.
…or get an all-in-one HRIS
In the past, onboarding, payroll, learning management, and employee engagement software was commonly implemented as standalone systems.
These days however, you can get all these must-have tools as part of one all-in-one system, like you can with Employment Hero. Having everything in one place saves you time and money, because you aren't wasting time on double data entry.
Another advantage is that you only pay one vendor for all of the tools and resources you need to onboard great talent, pay them, give them opportunities for career development, and keep them super happy and engaged.

Sally Broom from Tripbod has been in touch this month to announce that they we were DELIGHTED to be named in the Guardian newspaper's Best Travel Websites EVER! You can check out the article here:
Here is an extract from Tripbods latest newsletter:-
"This is a timely piece, because the travel industry is changing, and rightly so. The voices of people who live in destinations can no longer be ignored, something I was reminded of this week. As I mention in the TechCrunch comment, I had an interesting experience with a leading industry figure who I have known (and done battle with!) for many years. This person believed Tripbod (and YourSafePlanet before it) aims too high and is striving for the impossible. But on meeting last week I received an apology and a comment that struck me very deeply – Tripbod, and organisations like it, are the future of the travel industry. This CEO has been in the industry for over two decades and has battled tirelessly for ethical tourism throughout, so this encouragement meant a great deal to me, and I hope it does to you too.
But of course we knew this anyway! It has been a tough battle to get our voices heard and will continue to be so, but we will continue throughout. The support we receive from global brands like the Guardian is a huge boost, but the most important part of this is you: every single Tripbod, in every single destination. Alone our voices are tiny and cannot hope to be heard over the din of the big corporate travel brands and their marketing budgets. But together something interesting happens... the volume grows, bit by bit, and suddenly we can't be ignored any more. And that is what is happening."
If you are planning a holiday abroad and want a far more "personal" experience then contact your local Tripbod for a personalised itinerary and truly start living like a local.

Chosen child orphanage and care center was founded in accordance with the provision of the law to provide care, support, shelter and protection for orphans and vulnerable children, children separated from parents, children in contact with the law, children in conflict with the law, abused children and children with special needs. This was borne out of sincere love to help this group of silent majority of the children. It is rather unfortunate to note that the rate of incidences of cases of child abuse, child neglect, separation from parents / families, child abandonment etc are on the increase BUT, the constituted authorities whose duties it is to provide proper care and support for this group of children have abandoned their responsibilities in the hand of Non governmental organisations who often do not have enough human and financial resources to meet the needs of these children.
Chosen child orphanage and care center with it's lean financial resources have been offering a range of services and support to alleviate the suffering of these children in it's care. It has been able to bring together men and women from all works of live who have passion to help others to work for these children under the supervision of the able founder ( Mrs Ayuba Louisa Ebere ). The team is made up of Medical and paramedical personnel, care givers, social workers, Administrative staffs, cleaners, cook, Drivers, security guards etc to ensure that these children were offered the best live can afford.
The orphanage is open to partnership, sponsorship, support group, Adoption/Fostering, distance Adoption, volunteering etc.

MILAN — The Italian government on Friday made 12 vaccines mandatory for children attending school up to age 16 in an effort to combat what it characterizes as misinformation about vaccines.
The new measures followed an intense public debate over vaccines after a measles outbreak and political sniping over accusations that the populist 5-Star movement had emboldened anti-vaccine advocates.
Premier Paolo Gentiloni told a news conference that the new rules aimed to combat "anti-scientific theories" that have lowered Italy's vaccination rates in recent years.
The government approved making 12 vaccines, including measles, rubella and chickenpox, mandatory starting this September for children attending Italian pre-schools through the second year of high school. Other required vaccines include tetanus, diphtheria, polio and hepatitis B.
Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said children will not be accepted into nursery or pre-schools without proof of vaccinations, while parents of children legally obliged to attend school will face hefty fines for noncompliance. The certification will be required every year, she said.

Johannes de Kehtam's Fasciculus Medicine (printed in Venice in 1500) was the first anatomy book to be printed with illustrations. Ketham was described as a German doctor living in Italy and may well have been Johann von Kerchheim, a German practising surgery and medicine in Venice during 1470), and who wrote a series of tracts on various aspects of medicine which were then collected into this single bound volume. The illustrations are spectacular and to me have a very modern sensibility in their mid-Renaissance woodcut legacy–the look very clear and concise, are well proportioned, nicely labelled, and give plenty of free rein to open and blank spaces on the woodblock. The only time these images really "fail" is when they appear in colour–a process that would've been undertaken privately, by the purchaser of the book, who would have contracted with an artisan to colo r the book. The images in almost all of the cases of colouring that I have seen just do not match the elegance and brilliance of the original with no color.

One of the most frequently asked questions The Veterinary Wound Library receives through our online Chat Bot is from pet owners asking if they can use over the counter creams for their pet's wound.
We have a clear position on this subject based on the physiology of wound healing, and feel that there really does need to be greater awareness of the ingredients of such creams and that not all of them will be beneficial to healing, especially when used on animals.
First things first: As a service the Veterinary Wound Library was set up to support veterinary professionals with challenging cases, to support their decision making and product choices. We certainly don't mind the odd request for help from owners looking for answers, and we get some really great questions. However, we can't advise on individual cases directly to owners. This is because we would be making a decision based on a patient we have not seen in person (all patients usually require a full check over to ensure there are no other complications or factors that may delay healing) and more importantly, we could contradict your own Vet's advice which could get us all into a muddle over the care of patient.
So, for that reason we encourage owners who contact us to seek advice from their Vet and we can certainly help their Vet if they need it.
We appreciate that all owners seeking our help are looking for answers and just care about the welfare of their pet. We are very glad that so many people do. We didn't want to leave you with no advice if you have come here searching for answers, so we have included the advice we usually give in terms of basic wound care below.
Our basic wound management advice (as we teach the veterinary profession) is that wounds require 3 things to heal well;
1. Good preparation of the wound before anything else- to wash the wound thoroughly using lots of warm water or saline (you can make saline using 1 tsp salt to 1 pint/500mls of warm boiled water).
2. Promotion of healthy healing environment - Promotion of wound healing means keeping the wound clean and covered if possible. We advocate the use of water based hydrogels (you can ask your chemist for brands of wound hydrogels, some are sold over the counter). Hydrogels provide a better environment for healing than oil based products. Any oil based products can not be dissolved naturally by the body and actually inhibit cell migration and may lock debris into the wound. Sudocrem, Bepanthen and Vaseline are all Oil based products and in our opinion should not be used on open wounds. Further more, if you have washed the wound well there will be no need for the antiseptics in creams or ointments. Many of the off the shelf nappy creams have some of form of antiseptic (cetrimide, chlorhexidine, iodine, phenol) and these can be sensitising (cause reactions) or can actually inhibit healing and may even be toxic to animals. Yes antiseptics may kill bacteria, but they may also damage the healing process in a healthy wound.
3. Protect - protect the area from interference, contamination from soil, urine, and scratching. This can be challenging and if your pet is scratching and has an itching area it's likely that a dermatological issue is present and that the wound is secondary. You really do need to seek veterinary attention if this is the case.
Whatever the size of the wound, and even with Veterinary support its important to monitor your pet to be sure they are not irritated by the wound or that there are complications arising from a bandage or treatment. Infection is a complication in wounds when they have been contaminated or become dirty and signs include inflammation, redness, swelling, pain and production of pus or slough. If this is the case it is very important to seek help from your Vet as antibiotics may be required sooner rather than later. Some wounds such as bite wounds or puncture wounds can become infected and deteriorate very quickly, so a trip to the vet should be your first priority.
If the wound is healing well, and the edges are closing together nicely without inflammation or signs of infection it will seem all is progressing well. Your vet will advise to keep the wound clean and we suggest regularly washing any scurf and debris away from the wound edges with warm salt water. This shouldn't be done too often if the wound is healing well as it may disturb new cells - once daily to every other day may be all that is needed once a wound is very close to healed. Be sure not to scrub these healing wounds, just gently pat dry with clean toilet paper or clean cloth.
If in doubt for any reason contact your Vet or vet nurse immediately. A call to the vet nurse and a photograph of the wound will be all you need for them to help you. There is a misconception that Vets will look for an excuse to charge owners for care and wounds can become expensive if they start to deteriorate. The reality is, that with smart phones available to be able to send a photo and some detail to your Vet or Vet nurse they will usually be honest about the need for you to visit. If money is tight they will advise accordingly, but be aware that some tiny wounds can become very serious very quickly. Your Vet is the best person to advise and they can always contact us for specialist help if they need it.
We hope this helps, if in doubt please don't be afraid to ask your Vet for advice.

First Poster For Baz Lurhmann's Great Gatsby Adaptation
In a film that stars Leonardo DiCaprio it is an interesting move for the first promotional poster of Baz Lurhmann's adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald literary classic to have Carey Mulligan be the selling point. It is her face that eclipses that of DiCaprio's, whose adjacent profile is barely existent.
Set to be released on Christmas Day, Lurhmann will attempt to channel the dark allure that the other cinematic adaptations of The Great Gatsby have lacked. It's definitely a challenge for Lurhmann; his combination of rich visuals and cinematography will surely go to waste outside of the lavish parties in WASPy settings.
DiCaprio plays Jay Gatsby, the new-money socialite known for throwing lavish parties that appall the old-money upper-class. Mulligan plays Daisy Buchanan, a slice of upper-class crust, who at one time had strong feelings for Gatsby. She has since gone on to marry Tom (Joel Edgarton), an unfaithful husband who has a mistress (Isla Fisher). Tobey Maguire plays the Midwest-born Nick Carraway, the witness (and the story's narrator) to the events that transpire among the elite-status individuals.

Bob's Blog – November 16, 2015
Scientists and Physicians from around the world view tennis as the most healthful activity in which you can participate. There are other sports that can provide excellent health benefits and others that can provide excellent mental and emotional growth, but no sport has been found to combine the physical, mental and emotional disciplines like tennis does. Here are some of the main reasons why tennis can be played from the time you are 5 till you are 95.
*Aerobic Fitness – burning fat and improving cardiovascular fitness.
*Anaerobic Fitness – by offering short intense bursts of activity during a point followed by rest helps muscles use oxygen efficiently.
*Eye hand coordination – by constantly judging the timing between the oncoming ball and the proper contact point.
*Manage adversity – by learning to adjust to not only your opponents but the elements (wind, sun etc.)
*Learn teamwork – playing doubles successfully depends on the ability to communicate with your partner and play as a cohesive unit.
*Learn sportsmanship – The art of winning humbly and losing graciously is a lesson that every young or older athlete needs to learn.
*Problem solving – Tennis is a game of constant adjustments that need to be made in quick order of else the match can get away from you fast.
*Other benefits include – agility, speed, leg strength, balance, flexibility and most important of all FUN.
It's never too late or too early to start our fantastic game!

HUGE NEWS - Cyber and Virtual Recovery to be Recognized at
World Convention in Orlando!!!
Copy of Email Sent to All Groups
To All Phone Line Groups,
Something wonderful and very important has happened! The World Service Office is holding a workshop at the World Convention in Orlando on Online Meetings and Virtual Recovery. This is pivotal because it is the first time the World Service Office is publicly acknowledging our existence and the message that we carry. We will be able to inform so many more people of our existence because of this. Please inform your groups of this workshop so if they are attending the World Convention they can attend this workshop and show how strong we are. The workshop will be on Friday, 3:30-4:45pm. Hopefully, all the people from the phone lines meetings will attend to show our unity and for a "meet and greet." It is so fun to have faces to attach to the voices we know so well. Meeting lists will be available for our members to pass out during the rest of the World Convention.
Our next Cyber Area Formation Discussion will be on August 11 on the NA by Phone Service number, 712-775-7035, 554778#, from 1:30-3:00pm E, 12:30-2pm C, 11:30am-1:00pm M, and 10:30am-12N P. At our last meeting the members and Groups in attendance agreed that a service structure could benefit all the groups. Groups are encouraged to elect GSR's to send to this meeting and, of course, all interested members are invited to attend. If you would like to hear the last meeting the recording is available for download on the Announcements page of NAbyPhone.com.
This is an exciting time to be in NA. The acceptance of Cyber and Virtual Groups and meetings, whether Skype, Zoom, On-Line or Teleconference, is going to swell our membership as much as the Basic Text did in the 1980's. Other technology platforms have already created Areas and the time is right for us to do the same. A fully-functional Area will be able to provide the means to reach so many people that need our help and at the same time provide many more people to help us run our meetings and do service.
Please discuss this at your Group Conscience and Business Meetings and elect a GSR to send to our meeting on August 11.

During his campaign trail, Trump promised:
"We're going to win so much, you're going to be so sick and tired of winning."
As the midterms approach, he is now facing his first big test; are voters sick of winning, or sick of Trump?
At first glance the economy does seem to be surging:
- Unemployment is at lows unseen for nearly 40 years
- Stock markets remain close to record highs
- Business confidence is up
- Trade agreements are being rewritten
- Wages are rising at their highest rate since 2009
According to Gallup, in September, 13% of US voters rated economic issues as their highest priority, equal to the number concerned about immigration.
A deeper dive into the US economy exposes some uncomfortable facts, however the headlines could be enough to propel the Republicans back into office.
The US unemployment rate hit 3.7% in September, its lowest rate since 1969. The US has now added jobs for 96 consecutive months, the longest streak of jobs growth since records began. The majority of those jobs were added under Barack Obama's presidency.
Wage growth has lagged behind jobs growth since the recession, suggesting that the types of jobs the US is adding are lower-waged.
October's job report showed wages growing at an annual rate of 3.1%, the highest rate since 2009, but still well below the 4.2% average right before the 2001 recession.
Wage growth has been a consistent growth pattern for almost 8 years, of which Trump has been President for just two.
Stock markets
Under Trump's presidency the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq have all hit record highs, growth fuelled by his $1.5tn tax breaks, deregulation and a buoyant global economy.
The Stock Market is up massively since the Election, but is now taking a little pause – people want to see what happens with the Midterms. If you want your Stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat. They like the Venezuela financial model, High Taxes & Open Borders!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 30, 2018
The Federal Reserve has recently stated it will raises rates, and subsequently stock markets are wobbling. China's growth is stalling, Europe once more looks like it is heading for trouble, and a recession could be coming next year.
The top 10% of American households owned 84% of all stocks in 2016. That includes all the equities the bottom 90% hold in 401k retirement savings, university funds and other investments.
This means that whilst the stock market has performed very well, the benefit has gone disproportionately to the wealthy. If stock markets do fall, the bottom 90% are likely to feel it first as corporations trim staff to cut their costs to appease shareholders.
Back in March, Trump boasted that:
"Trade wars are good and easy to win."
Canada and Mexico, the US's largest trade partners behind China, are currently renegotiating with the US, however China is a different story – Relations appear to be worsening. Meanwhile the EU has taken its dispute to the World Trade Organization.
The one thing that a trade war does is increase uncertainty; Caterpillar warned earlier this month that Trump's tariffs had raised its costs.
The US has entered a phase of protectionism, rather than free trade and in a climate where the next tweet can dictate policy it is a very risky place to do business.
Trump's $1.5tn tax break is the single largest policy achievement of his presidency – Most of the cuts however went to business and the rich and polling shows voters now trust Trump less on tax reform than they did before the bill was passed.
Excited to be heading home to see the House pass a GREAT Tax Bill with the middle class getting big TAX CUTS!#MakeAmericaGreatAgain🇺🇸
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 14, 2017
Trump has now proposed "a 10% tax cut for middle-income families … no business". This proposal has not even entered congress, so it is difficult to assess its likelihood. The last tax cut helped push the Federal deficit to $1tn and surely the Republicans won't want to raise it further. The new plan does seem to concede that Trump's "bill for the middle class" hasn't worked.
Undecided voters now need to come off the fence – It is too early to truly assess his performance on the economy, however By 2020 we will have a clearer assessment of Trump's legacy and we will know who is really winning.

Excise duty raised on cigarettes by up to 6%, duty on chewing tobacco doubledMonday, February 20, 2017
New Delhi, Feb. 2 -- Like every year, the taxman has given special attention to tobacco products in this year's Union budget proposals. In his budget speech, Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday proposed to hike excise duty on all tobacco products, including bidi. This is the first budget where Jaitley has increased basic excise duty on handmade bidi by 33% and on machine-made by 2.7 times, contrary to three of his previous budgets when the finance minister had left bidi, which is considered small-scale industry, untouched. The proposed excise duty hike is below the estimates of equity analysts. Analysts had expected the duty increase to be around 10%. Budget has given a positive surprise with mere 6% in excise duty on cigaretes against expectations hovering between 8% and 10%. "This is the lowest hike in past six years," said Abneesh Roy, analyst with Edelweiss Securities Ltd. While excise on various lengths of cigarettes has been increased by 2.5% to 6%, for paan masala, it has been increased from 6% to 9% and unmanufactured tobacco from 4.2% to 8.3%. For other tobacco products like chewing tobacco, jarda-scented tobacco and gutkha, Jaitley proposed to double the excise from 6% to 12%. For hand-made bidis, the finance minister proposed to hike basic excise duty from Rs21 per 1,000 to Rs28 per 1,000, and for machine-made bidi Jaitley increased the basic excise duty to Rs78 per 1,000 from Rs21 per 1,000. Since July 2014, when Jaitley presented the National Democratic Alliance government's first budget, taxes on cigarettes have increased substantially. In the 2015 budget, Jaitley hiked excise duty by 25% on cigarettes of length not exceeding 65mm, and by 15% on cigarettes of other lengths. In last year's budget, Jaitley increased excise on cigarettes by around 10%. Companies will decide on the actual price increase on cigarettes and other tobacco products after calculating the effect of the tax increase. Retailers, however, expect maximum retail price of cigarettes to go up by Rs5-10 in retail for a full pack of 10 or 20 sticks. ITC Ltd, the country's largest cigarette maker, declined comments. Its shares were up 4.51% at Rs269.70 on BSE at the close of trading hours on Wednesday. ITC had a few weeks before the budget increased price of its cigarettes of 69mm and 74mm lengths by around 14%. Roy of Edelweiss said ITC can 'easily' increase the price by another "4% to counter 6% excise hike". The brokerage firm has, however, increased its estimates for cigarette volumes of ITC to 5% from 3% earlier. It has also revised its estimate for ITC's earnings growth to 16.1% in fiscal year ended 31 March 2018 from 13.6% earlier. Tobacco Institute of India (TII), the association that lobbies for cigarette companies, has long been vocal about high tax structure which it said has created the market for smuggled foreign cigarette impacting the legal cigarette manufacturers. On the other hand, relatively lower taxed tobacco products like bidi, khaini, chewing tobbaco, gutkha and smuggled cigarettes constitute for about 89% of total tobacco consumption in India, according to TII. TII director Syed Mahmood Ahmad declined comments on the excise hike.

It's the pear necessities
Prickly pears are a dangerously spiky fruit occasionally seen in the shops during Autumn, with vicious little hairs on their outer skin which stick in your hands.
However the fruit inside is delicately sweet and quite different to most other fruits. I have to admit that previously I had no idea how to peel a prickly pear, but after working through a bit batch of these fruits, I'm well versed in it now, so thought I'd do a quick video to help you all out!
See below for my quick, silly, instructional video. Enjoy!
