Country type self catering accommodation for 2 people in SW England in June, near interesting place we can visit by car.
We are not really interested in big cities and would find that sort of driving too stressful, so cheap accommodation a little out of the country towns would be best. We could do day trips to the coast or other places of interest. We only need small fairly basic places, staying for up to a week at a time.

Try holiday-rentals.co.uk or hotels.com other than that, try the tourist information website http://www.tourist-information-uk.com
I live in the SW of England. What sort of places are you interested in? X almost 7 years ago
We are an elderly couple looking for a 1 bedroom self contained place in June 2015. Looked up your suggested site and should get one for approx $320- 350 per week. Maybe stay at a couple of places. Need to fit around seeing relatives in Stroud and maybe Buckingham. almost 7 years agoAnswered by Janet Lewis Western Australia via Ask a Nomad iPad app
If you want to go a little further, go across the Severn Bridge to South Wales. In west Wales there is a lovely place called fforest. Beautiful countryside, lots of activities from walking in forest/or on beach, good food etc. www.coldatnight.co.uk. We stayed in a Dome and loved it. almost 7 years agoAnswered by Jane Cavanagh via WorldNomads.com
Just a thought. Travelodge do early saver rooms. You'll probably find it less expensive when travelling around to incorporate hotel stay as well as self catering. Just searched for Cornwall for you and found rooms as little as £29 per night. Obviously, you have to get your meals somewhere which then costs extra although, there are inexpensive places to eat along the way.
Also, I don't know whether you took notice but when using hotels.com your accrue nights so when you've stayed 10 nights using a hotel on their site which has welcome points, you get 1 night free.
The earlier you book, the better deal sometimes. It may also be advantageous to look on the map and plan where you want to go and email the various guest houses you find. Trip advisor is somewhere else you could look. almost 7 years ago
Try villages just in from the coast around wheymouth and brighton.
anything south of london tends to have good public transport as well as easy roads.
Look into bed and breakfasts too. Or even the PUB accommodation. Definitely a unique way to get the local color. And also check the bathroom situation for each stay :-) sounds daft but my american friends got freaked with an old historic hotel they stayed at because there was 1 bathroom to 2 rooms. almost 7 years agoAnswered by paula via WorldNomads.com
Most accommodation these days have en suite rooms....even little pubs. Neither Weymouth or Brighton are South West. I'd probably head for Devon or Cornwall perhaps staying along the coast working your way from Lyme Regis down to Darmouth, Plymouth, Truro, Penzance, Tintagel. There's a beautiful hotel overlooking Tintagel castle called Camelot Castle Hotel, not cheap but good food and 'shabby 'chic' decor. Then there's Glastonbury, Bath and so on. I could go on for ever! Contact me and I can send you some leaflets if you like. almost 7 years ago

Need Commercial Storefront Windows That Are Hurricane Ready?
We have finally entered the Spring season. What does that mean? It means you are running out of time to get prepared before storm season hits. Does your business have storefront impact windows protecting it? At Florida Engineered Glass Corp. we are here to ensure that you and your place of business are protected. We specialize in impact window installation and are located in Miami.
Get Windows That Will Protect
When it comes to retail and commercial storefront windows and doors, it's practically necessary to go impact. When a hurricane hits and there is no impact product surrounding a retail or commercial store location, then the results can be devastating. Nobody wants to have to deal with the aftermath of a hurricane, especially when it comes to cleaning up the business location and getting all new windows and doors. That is why the best course of action to take is to get guaranteed hurricane protection with impact-resistant windows and doors.
So what is resistant glass? These products are considered as strong and resilient as they are because it all comes down to the hurricane resistant glass that they are composed of. The impact windows and doors consist of the double glazed pane with an aluminum frame to create sufficient stability and strength. There are layers of glass with a plastic film keeping them in place. So, even if the outside layer were to crack, the other layers will remain unaffected because of the film.
Get Storefront Impact Windows
With similar reasons for choosing hurricane resistant impact windows and doors at residential locations, retail and commercial settings can also benefit significantly from having high impact resistant products.
One of the more apparent benefits of switching out current windows and doors at a retail or commercial location with ones that are a high impact is that the change can protect the whole store from the effects of a hurricane. Tropical storms and hurricanes can leave horrific results, especially on homes, businesses, and grounds that do not have the proper hurricane-resistant materials. If traditional, original windows and doors are left supporting the location and a hurricane hits, then it is highly likely that the glass will be all over the place afterward. Not only can this be a tedious mess to clean up, but the debris can also damage essential materials, products, and the store's interior.
Another significant advantage of having impact windows and doors in the home is that these impact products can significantly reduce break-ins and shoplifting. These high impact windows and doors are so thick and virtually unbreakable that heavy objects cannot even break the glass open.
Call Us For Impact Window Installation
Keep your business protected with storefront impact windows. You can do so by protecting it with a custom made impact glass. Florida Engineered Glass Corp wants to help you keep your Miami business safe this hurricane season. Call us to discuss upgrading your home today and ask us about our impact front doors. We are the ones to trust with impact window installation.

Great design, Simple set up, Brilliant sound quality, Sturdy build
Expensive, Lacks some options, No professional connections
The Blue Yeti is a great a option for anyone who just wants to plug in and play without spending hours tweaking audio settings.
Tremendous sound quality, Multiple recording patterns, Plug and play – no installation, Fantastic for the price
No multi-head setup
Blue Microphones Yeti: The Yeti's sensitivity and recording quality make it well worth its cost to any serious podcaster.
In my case, I needed a microphone that was easy to install and would work anywhere. The result is very close to the system I have with microphone condenser + audio interface. The selector switch makes it possible for me to use the microphone in different environments and for different utilities.
A few weeks in so far and as of this writing, this microphone has proven to be as good as the other reviewers and users out there say it is. Hopefully, you've done your own research, but this mic indeed is great for my purposes. Despite its bulky stem, I can still attach a pop filter to it.
recommend for audio recording/streaming it has good audio quality but is very sensitive and picks up lots of noise
- everyone can hear my lovely voice
- kind of bulky
Love it great sound quality have gotten some great reviews from Karaoke singin with it online.... Easy installation great instructions and I love it the best of the 3 condenser mic's I own Mike
The THX microphone is a winner. Excellent gain variance, clean sound quality overall at all decibals, zero trouble interfacing with computer. Solid physical body, great workmanship, good balance on the weight distribution, hard to knock over.
This microphone was a great purchase allows for better quality communication. I run two meetings a week and having this microphone has allowed for better more crisp communication and get rid of my headphones mic. Worth the purchase!
This is the first actual mic that I've owned, and man is this thing just great! Clearest sound you can imagine and a nice little stand to hold it. I've only had it for 2 weeks, but it feels solid and high quality.
The microphone is quite pricey for those without a ideal income, but nonetheless it can be used for multiple different things with it's amazing quality.
This mic sounds fantastic and couldn't be easier to use. I plugged it and my laptop immediately recognized it and it was ready to use. Fantastic product.
I wanted a mic that i could speak into from a reasonable distance. This picks up everything, even things you may not want to be detected like keyboard keys being pushed (clicking) and the window ac running from across the room. Its built solid, sturdy feel.

Brad Keselowski
Joey Logano
Roger Penske
Paul Wolfe
KERRY THARP: We have our race winner, Brad Keselowski. He has Paul Wolfe up here with him.
Brad, congratulations on this victory. Certainly Homestead‑Miami is a special place for you as you celebrated your Sprint Cup championship here last year. It's got to be a big deal to finish up this season with a win.
Also I might note this victory here tonight gives Ford the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series Manufacturers Championship as they made a come‑from‑behind victory here tonight. Congratulations to Brad Keselowski, Paul Wolfe, Ford Motor Company.
Brad, talk about the win tonight.
BRAD KESELOWSKI: Obviously any time you win it's a great night. To put those other things together, I'm sure you heard it on the TV, we came here with four goals. Win the Driver's Championship with Sam Hornish, Owner's Championship with the 22, win the race, and help Ford to secure the Manufacturer's title.
We accomplished three out of four, which I guess ain't bad. I want to make the remark that I'm really proud of Sam. Even though he came up a bit short, he put up a great effort tonight and this year. Proud of him.
Happy to win the race. Happy for Ford. It's a big deal for them to win the Manufacturer's Championship on Ford Championship Weekend. That's something that can't be understated.
For the 22 team, we came up a bit short on the Owner's Championship. That was something that was kind of left open on the RP bucket list. It was nice to check that off for him and get him another leather jacket. Proud of that and proud of the effort not just tonight, but all year long for everybody and from everybody at Penske Racing.
KERRY THARP: Paul Wolfe, congratulations on this win here tonight. Talk about this victory here tonight.
PAUL WOLFE: Yeah, obviously it was pretty special. For me, I just filled in. This Nationwide program at Penske Racing is obviously very phenomenal. These guys do a great job. They have great racecars.
For me, they just asked me to come fill in, call the race. From my side of it, it was pretty easy. I was glad I could be part of it and help out.
But real proud of what we have going on there with this program. It develops a lot of great guys. It can continue to move up the ladder and put them in spots in our Cup program, which is important as we continue to build things at Penske.
Like I said, I was a small part of what went on tonight. I was willing to help out. Brought back a few memories of a few years back. It was really neat to be in Victory Lane again with Discount Tire as we got the program started back in 2010.
Can't say enough about all the guys at Penske and this whole program.
KERRY THARP: Congratulations goes out to Roger Penske for winning the Owner's Championship. You have your driver over there Joey Logano. For this championship here tonight, just talk about what it means to win the Nationwide Series Owner's crown.
ROGER PENSKE: First, I want to congratulate obviously Joey and Brad. What Paul did tonight, the Manufacturer's Championship was on the line, we had the car Owner's, and also the Driver's Championship. There was a lot of pressure.
When you think about it, as Brad came to me two or three years ago, said, We're going to build a team. Part of it was through the Nationwide. Three or four drivers helped us get to this championship, it's really something. Tonight's win was something we didn't know until the last couple laps. That's the way this NASCAR business is.
Certainly for us we didn't get the Owner's Championship back a couple years ago. As I said to Brad, this kind of finishes it off.
Without Joey and without Brad, without Sam, when you think about 14 wins in a season, in any series, is outstanding. Really a credit to the entire team. Everyone back at the shop, we talk about the engine builder, Ford, Discount Tire, Hertz, AAA, those that have helped us, are committed to us going forward.
I felt very sorry for Sam. I have to say I've never seen a race that was so important that you wait 15 or 16 laps before you have five laps to go. To me that was very disappointing from the standpoint of the fans. Certainly we as competitors, we came out fine. But when I think about it, it could have gone any way.
KERRY THARP:Â And Joey, talk about winning this Owner's Championship for Roger Penske.
JOEY LOGANO: Yeah, for my rookie season with Penske Racing, we wanted to win this championship. To win it for Roger, it means a lot to me and the whole 22 team. They deserve it, 12 wins with a dominant racecar. Coming down to the last race, last lap with the 54 team was insane.
We were sitting there, I think we were 12th in the last restart with five to go. You really don't have an option at that point, you got to go. We had a set of tires on the thing. Like I said, coming down to the last lap, just crazy.
Like I said, Jeremy, all the guys on that 22 team, Hertz, Discount Tire, Ryan Blaney, AJ, all the guys that ran this car, we all won a race in this car, shows how lucky we are to drive this car. I have a lot of fun doing it.
KERRY THARP:Â We'll take questions now.
Q. Brad, when you reflect on this year, all the phenomenal success you've had in this series, some of the ups and downs you've had, will you look back at this and say this is one of the strangest years of your life?
BRAD KESELOWSKI: There's a lot of different ways you can look at it, as an optimist or pessimist are the two that stick out. For us, certainly not the year we wanted on the Cup side. We're not going to hide or run from that. We did achieve some success in different forms this year. We did achieve success in different forms this year.
This Owner's Championship is a reflection of that. I think if you look at how we got to success with the Cup side, a lot of it, the guy sitting next to me, Paul, was sitting up here three years ago as a champion on the Nationwide side as a crew chief.
There's probably guys working on this car today, whether it was Joey's 22 or the 48 I drove or even Sam's 12 that will be a part of our next effort moving forward and will help us rebuild to come out next year and the years after stronger.
You look at where we've been, last year was incredible to win a Sprint Cup championship in your third season. That's very, very difficult to do. We've gone through a lot of different changes, a lot of different transitions. That's not making any excuses, but we're going to grow and become stronger. This program is a reflection, this Nationwide program, of how bright our future is, at the Cup level as well.
Q. Paul, how much debate was there to come and get tires or to not get tires towards the end of the race?
PAUL WOLFE: It really started back a couple stops before that when we stayed out. We had the option at the end.
Obviously we didn't want to see all those caution laps at the end winding down. Weren't really sure if we were going to be able to take advantage of them.
Obviously a little different game on the Nationwide side than what you get used to on the Cup side, where tomorrow night you're going to see every time a caution comes out, it will be a no‑brainer for everybody to come down, put tires on, work on their car. Definitely a little bit different deal here.
It surely was a lot of fun to be part of it tonight, to watch Brad drive to the front at the end.
Q. Brad, can you describe your charge at the end on the restart, your efforts heading to the front.
BRAD KESELOWSKI: A few people asked me about that already. I have to see the replay because I don't even know what happened. I know I was on the gas, pointing forward.
JOEY LOGANO:Â Roger said you shut your eyes and hoped for the best (laughter).
BRAD KESELOWSKI: I think he's right. I don't even remember what happened. I just knew if we were going to win the race, I was going to bring back the steering wheel. With five laps to go, that's the only attitude that can win the race. Hoping to get the restart with 20 laps to go, then I wouldn't have had to have that mentality.
Sometimes you make it through, sometimes you don't. Today we did. A lot of aggressive moves. It almost felt like a video game passing 10 or 12 cars in two or three laps. That's part of it. That's what you've got to be able to do to win at this level.
Q. Brad, this was the first race since Richmond where the stakes were so high. You had teammates who were involved, owner points, driver points. You asked at one point if you were clear to race. How did you try to balance what you should do with the new rules that still haven't been tested yet?
BRAD KESELOWSKI: I don't know. I don't have a great answer for that. I knew the best thing we could do is win the race, not have to answer that. At the end of the day, I don't know how to go any more 100% than winning the race. If there's another 100%, I don't know where it's at. Definitely pulled that out at the end.
It's difficult. It's funny, while you guys were talking, while Roger was talking, I was reading some comments. Half the comments you get are, Why didn't you let Sam go at the end and he would have won, things like that.
You can't win either way. I think everybody sees it with whatever colored glasses they wear on that day. For me at the end it was running 100% and winning the race.
Q. Roger, did NASCAR give you an explanation as to why they didn't throw the red flag on the last caution? Do you think that cost Sam the championship?
ROGER PENSKE: Well, it was hard for me, as I said earlier, to believe that we'd sit there for 15 or 16 laps with so much at stake, not only for Sam, but for Dillon, for Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet. It was hard for me to believe.
But I didn't get into it.
Q. Brad, what you guys do is intense and hectic anyway. When it comes to not having the pressure of a championship or having the pressure of a championship, talk a little bit about that. Does it go away? How do you deal with it?
BRAD KESELOWSKI: Deal with what? The pressure?
Q. Yeah, the pressure.
BRAD KESELOWSKI: You don't have a choice (laughter). I mean, it's win or go home. That's how this sport works. You find a way to win or you get replaced by somebody else that will.
Does it worry you? Well, only if you're not capable of winning. But at the end of the day the only answer I have is to give 100%, put everything I have into it, and the cards fall where they may. There's no point worrying about it further than that.
Q. Roger, all season long you've been saying how badly you wanted the Owner's Championship. After having Driver's Championships, Indy championships, why was specifically the Owner's Championship so important to you?
ROGER PENSKE: Well, I think to me, as we set out at the beginning of this season, it was one that we had such a great group of drivers. The expectations within the team and the sponsors was to win this championship.
I wanted to see if we could rise to the occasion to beat Gibbs. J.D. and Joe are world‑class guys. We respect them. We like to race with them.  Kyle Busch obviously is one of the best guys out there.
I think it was just in our DNA from the beginning of the year. Joey and Brad, it was one thing we could bring them together, drive the same car, get the speed out of it, consistency and the wins, I think brought our team closer together. To me, that was part of the reason when Joey came on, Brad came on. Said, We want to run Nationwide, we think it makes us better.
The goal was to win. Last year was a great year. Brad was pretty humble on the job he did last year. We had a good year this year. Obviously it wasn't what we want. This is a sport, we're in it for a long time. We got to build. Part of building is winning at some level.
I think Paul could step in today. We made the call on the 48 car last week after we got wrecked, Let's put the 48 in. It was just like turning a light on. Our guys just knew what to do. We came out here. That's the spirit we have within the team today, Sam, AJ, a chance to get him back on track, one of the most satisfying things to me this year, to see him back on track.
These guys picked up the ball and ran with it. Like I said, it's part of our DNA from the beginning of the year.
Q. (No microphone.)
ROGER PENSKE: At this particular time, I think we've said we're going to run one Nationwide car at the moment. We have a sponsorship to run a couple other races. Sam has some options right now, which is good. Erwin obviously is contracted with us for next year. He'll work with us in Nationwide and some other things we're going to be doing, also work with us on the testing. He's a real talent. Can't get guys like that very often. We got a seat for him, for sure.
Q. Roger, I presume this is the last race with Sam.
ROGER PENSKE:Â Correct.
Q. Is there any emotion that comes with that? You have been together a long time and accomplished a lot together.
ROGER PENSKE: I have to look back and say, to see Sam race tonight at the level he did with Kyle, right there all night, shows what a great racer he is. My issue with myself is I started him in the Cup level with no practice. One of the greatest open‑wheel racers we had in IndyCar. I think maybe I started his career backwards.
I think people today want him. I think he's going to have a chance to drive something next year. A couple things out there look quite promising. I would support him always.
He needs to have a good ride because he's a quality guy, a family man. Remember, he won an Indy 500 for us. That's pretty special.
Q. Â Your thoughts on Dario Franchitti leaving?
ROGER PENSKE: Dario is a guy, I knew him when he was running for Mercedes‑Benz over in Germany. Came over here. Don't win the Indianapolis race three times unless you're a great driver.
A bit disappointed. At his age, the things he can do in his profession going forward, quality person, great racer, I really admire him for making that decision.
Q. Joey and Brad, can you talk what you're going to miss most about Sam leaving Penske Racing?
JOEY LOGANO: I only got to work with Sam obviously for this year. I got to know him very well over this year working together on this Nationwide program. Him and Greg over there on that 12 team, they do a great job. To hear his feedback, the directions they go, build a relationship like that. Like Roger said, he's a great guy. Probably one of the best dads I've seen. Being a racecar driver, being away from home, he's always with his kids. He's always showing us pictures of things he's building for his kids.
He's a great person. I've learned a lot from him from that aspect. As a driver also. He's a very fast driver. He's putting the car on the edge every single lap. I think it's what you see with Sam as he's gotten better throughout the years, is he's able to control that even better. That's why he's in contention to win this championship.
Before, you see how fast he can go, but I feel like he's cleaned up the mistakes, done a very good job this year with some really fast racecars.
He'll be missed, but he'll still be around. We'll still see him around, for sure.
BRAD KESELOWSKI: Yeah, I think obviously you look at what Sam has done. He won the Indianapolis 500, IndyCar championships, he's a successful driver. There's a certain level of respect that other drivers are going to have for him, including myself, because of his credentials. He's got a lot of class. I'm sure wherever he goes he's going to be in great shape for what happens to him next. I've enjoyed the time I've worked with him.
KERRY THARP:Â Congratulations to Brad and Roger.

- Chelsea will pay Exeter City £2.5m in compensation for the signing of Ethan Ampadu
- The 17-year-old has made seven first-team appearances for Chelsea this season
- READ MORE: Chelsea great Roy Bentley dies aged 93
Chelsea has been ordered to pay £2.5m in compensation fee to Exeter City for Ethan Ampadu, Sky Sports reports.
Ampadu joined the Blues last June despite a sum not being agreed with the League Two side as the 17-year-old has played a surprise small role in Antonio Conte's side.
According to Sky Sports, Exeter will receive £1.3m rising to £2.5m depending on the game time he gets with the Blues' first team, along with a 20 per cent sell-on clause inserted in the contract.
Despite getting a fee out of Ampadu, Exeter chairman Julian Tagg confirmed in a club statement that the Welshman's sale is a 'disappointment for football'.
With Ampadu out of action until the end of the season, who knows whether he will still be in Chelsea's first-team fold for the near future.

Deep in the jungle of Mahahual, a mysterious legend unfolds and tells a story of adventure. Years ago, the expeditionary Stephen Johnson – hungry for a quest – ventured into the thick Mayan jungle in search of the legendary golden city of the Mayan. After weeks immersed in the undiscovered Costa Maya, his eyes filled with wonder upon arriving to the water theme adventure park Mayá, the Lost Mayan Kingdom.
Located in the fishermen village of Mahahual in Costa Maya, going south from Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Adventure awaits for you to come and enjoy this Theme Adventure Park and turn a family vacation into an expedition filled with adrenaline. Defy the legends of Mayan gods and mythological creatures:
Fly across the jungle through 12 zip-lines with the spectacular views of the Mexican Carribean. Imitate the flight of the mystical feathered serpent (Kukulcán) atop the innovative zip coaster: A zip line with the turns and twists of a roller coaster.
Or just take a break on a hammock by the pool. Younger adventurers will find in Monkey's Island a bunch of activities for kids to play, jump and enjoy. Now it´s your turn to heed the call of the jungle and venture into adventure in Mayá, Lost Mayan Kingdom!

From a young age we are taught to share and we are taught that happiness is important. You put those two together and can find yourself spreading cheer through the gift of giving. Watching somebody smile as you hand them a gift immediately allows a sense of happiness to overcome you.
Social psychologist Liz Dunn and her colleagues performed experiments on several groups of people. In one controlled experiment they handed an envelope of money to students from the University of British Columbia. The students could either spend the money on themselves or spend the money on someone else. Both options had a 5 pm deadline. As discussed here, it was reported that the students who spent the money on others were happier than the ones who spent it on themselves. The euphoria that overwhelms you after making someone else happy is incomparable to say the least. It is amazing how the human mind works. We can be selfish and selfless all at the same time. We know that by providing for others it is making them and ourselves happy all at once.

Player Affinity writes: "Battlefield 3 is just days away, and hardcore console gamers are lining up in front of Best Buy to grab it at its midnight launch (While their more intelligent and attractive PC counterparts are staring at the Origin website waiting for the pre-load). But is dropping sixty bucks on launch day the best use of your gaming dollars? Instead of scrambling to be the first to play the hottest new FPS every month, you could spend that money on several classic shooters, or overlooked recent releases. Over the next few days, Player Affinity will recommend some great shooters that provide more fun for the same price, and might be more to your tastes than Battlefield 3."
This is the dumbest thread ever.
Who the f*ck is going to choose riddick over B3?
Its actually kind funny lol.
Why do I have to play Riddick instead of BF3. Can I not play both.
I would prefer to play Riddick over generic warfae shooter #347 anyday, or as some people like to call it; Battlefield 3/Modern Warfare 3
Ill never tire of military games as i have been intrested in history since a weed , the best military game out is battlestations for me without a doubt .On the other hand if a game has a dragon i wont play it at all as i loath fantasy games or jumping platform games not everyone wants a 1,000 adventure odysee games they just end up like a nursery rhyme. Riddick is a top game i just got it again this gen batman aa borrowed so much.

Raya Yarbrough opens up about her album 'North of Sunset, West of Vine' and what makes the theme song of 'Outlander' special
The singer is famously known for the song 'The Skye Boat Song', and it was all created from a childhood memory.
Raya Yarbrough may be best known to audiences around the globe as the singer of "The Skye Boat Song", the theme for the hit STARZ television series 'Outlander', and the female singing voice on the sci-fi hit 'Battlestar Galactica', however, her talents are incredibly vast. Her new album 'North of Sunset, West of Vine' which dropped on October 5 showcases her stunning vocal range.
This new album had been two years in the making and contains ten original songs (as well as two covers) inspired by Raya's memories of performing in jazz clubs throughout Hollywood, initially with her father, beginning at the age of seven. With soulful and layered vocals, strings, and multi-textural soundscapes, this album is her stories brought to life. Simply stated, the record is poetic, unexpected, sexy and bold. It features drummer Tony Austin, from Kamasi Washington's groundbreaking album "The Epic", jazz pianist John Beasley, and Steve Bartek of Oingo Boingo, on guitar.
Raya's career includes an international debut on Telarc (Concord) in 2008 with her self-titled album, 'Raya Yarbrough', produced by Steve Bartek. She has released a total of three independent albums, and her bands have also included members of Kneebody, and Zappa Plays Zappa. She recently collaborated with pianist Billy Childs and Van Dyke Parks and frequently sings with Grammy-winning rock band, Portugal. The Man. In an exclusive mail interaction with Meaww, Raya shared about a memory that inspired her to write the song, her collaboration with Tony Austin, John Beasley, and Steve Bartek, and her experience while working for 'Outlander'.
What was your inspiration behind writing 'North of Sunset, West of Vine'?
'North of Sunset, West of Vine' began as a collection of stories from my childhood. When I was six years old, my parents divorced, and my dad went back to his job of singing in clubs. My dad is a singer-songwriter in the acoustic R&B and folk vein, and he went right back to it – but this time he had me in tow. So that's when I began my performance career. At the age of seven, he brought me up on stage with him, in a dive, Thai-themed bar on Hollywood Boulevard, called Thai Ice Cuisine. Over the next several years, until his apartment building burned down and he moved, we performed in many clubs in and around Hollywood. This album is about the people I knew, and the Boulevard itself as an old, crumbling, consciousness unto itself. The track "Dolly" is specifically about a woman who was a regular at Thai Ice Cuisine.
It took you almost two years to get the album ready. Why do you think it took you so long?
Two reasons. Firstly, this album had a long evolution from being a collection of short stories to being a one-woman cabaret act to being a musical with a cast of six people, to returning to purely musical form, as the concept album it is now. So essentially, we spent a year recording music which didn't end up on the record – partially because I was weeding out music which didn't stand apart from the stage show, and partially because I was courting a record label which wanted me to make a more "traditional jazz" record. Historically, I've been a jazz singer, so this was not a crazy idea, but THIS record wanted to be something else. The second one, I had a baby. These take a lot of time. She likes the record though! All worth it.
What was it like working with such brilliant musicians as Tony Austin, John Beasley, and Steve Bartek? How did you guys get together for the collaboration?
So, Steve and I produced the album I released on Telarc/Concord records in 2008. It was a wonderful creative experience, and he is a magical human. So openly experimental, and kind. When it came time to do this record, I wanted to include him in some way, and he is a wizard with that Django-old-timey-jangly guitar sound, so he was the obvious choice for the guitar solo on "We Three", my arrangement of a song from the 1930s. John Beasley is a man on the jazz scene and that is how I know him. He is one of the most incredible and instinctual pianists I've ever worked with. He brings such unexpected layers of beauty and lyricism. I've known Tony Austin since we were both kids. When we were in high school, we were both parts of a program called The Spotlight Awards, through the Los Angeles Music Center. Through that program, we wound up playing at all sorts of Music Center functions and meeting other musicians who we continued to work with as we grew up. It's pretty special to have Tony on this record – because he is incredibly badass, and also because it's important to continue to work with people who have shared your journey.
You have released a total of three independent albums since your 2008 debut. How different was the experience then, and what do you think was the best thing about it?
Well, they were all very different experiences. I recorded my first album, "Waking at Twilight" my first year of college. We recorded it guerilla style. Getting into empty classrooms after the end of the school day, and basically taking over the entire first floor of the USC music school building. We recorded between 9 pm and 4 am, running a cable out of the recording engineering room, down the halls, into classrooms, and stairwells… all to achieve certain sound qualities, certain reverb. One night, we lacked a pop filter for my microphone, so I took off my stockings, we cut out the foot, and made a pop filter. My stocking-pop-filter remained in the USC music department for a long time. I have no idea how many people sang into my foot!
We were kids trying things out, and a guy named Zac Rae was my keyboard player, and producer on that album. Zac now plays for Death Cab for Cutie and produces all sort of interesting things. On this album, I also did my very first-string arrangement, on a song called "Flair for Life." I would not revisit string writing again for a decade. The second record was really an EP, a few of my arrangements of jazz tunes, and few originals. I went to a place called Private Island Tracks, down in Hollywood, on Sunset Boulevard. There was a shawarma place across the street which my drummer, Nadir, took full advantage of. That was my first time producing something myself. The third album is called "Raya's Mood." This came out during my senior year of college. Kind of bookended my experience of songwriting and arranging in my music school years. I went to Private Island Tracks again, wrote some with horn arrangements, played with tape-recorder playback. The hard part about producing something by yourself is that you have nobody to bounce ideas off. It's not always best to get your way all the time. Especially when you do your own writing and arranging, it's helpful to have somebody around who does not live in your head, and who can tell you if your concepts are getting across.
The fourth album is called "Raya Yarbrough." Creative title, I know. My first record on an actual record label, Telarc (part of Concord). This experience was different because I wasn't the only person with a say on which songs got on the record. At the end of the day, I was happy with the choices. Steve Bartek produced this with me, Kaveh Rastegar played bass, and Nate Wood played drums (both these musicians are part of a great group called Kneebody, and Kaveh has just released a solo album). We were pressed for time on this, which was also a new thing for me, so we spent long days in Steve's eclectic studio, under a giant, Mexican doll head, and an ominous painting of bumblebees. And SO many guitars. I really like this album, and I hope Steve does because I drank all his tea and ate all of his flavored almonds from Trader Joes.
The next album is the one I just released, "North Of sunset, West Of Vine." Because this album took so much time to find itself, it's been a completely unique experience. I didn't feel like I was simply compiling all the stuff I've written since the last record (not even close), but that I got to create a world. This is an independent album, so I didn't need to convince anyone about what I wanted to do, or how I wanted to do it. I produced with Brendan McKian, and we explored electronic stuff which I've always wanted to get into. Loops and beats and samples. I think the difference with this one was the clarity of vision, coupled with the time to explore the way I wanted to tell this story.
Could you tell us about your collaboration with 'Portugal, the Man'? How did you get on board with them?
My friend Paul Cartwright has played violin with PTM for many years. This summer they went on tour and wanted a small choir of singers – so Paul rang me up! PTM is a great group because not only are they fantastic musicians, but they stand behind what they believe in and promote positive social change.
Let's come to 'Outlander' now. Did you come up with 'The Skye Boat song' specifically for the show or was it already in hand when you were given the offer?
I was brought in after it was already decided that the opening of the show would be The Skye Boat song. Bear McCreary tapped me to sing it, and I did (at 8 months pregnant, no less)! It's funny because that song has been with me my whole life. When I was nine years old, I was in a children's choir, and we sang an arrangement of that song. I'm still friends with four girls from that group, and all through our childhoods, our teenage years, and straight through to our adult lives, we've sung that song together. We still remember our parts. It's extra magical that this song, which has always been with me, has come to mean so much to others, through me, and that I can now sing it to my daughter.
The show, 'Outlander', has been doing pretty well. What do you think of it?
I heart 'Outlander'. It's incredible to be part of a show that I'm a fan of as well! And the Outlander fandom is glorious people. They have been so supportive of me, and my music outside of the Outlander world. I'm truly grateful.
What more are you planning next?
Well, I just filmed three more music videos! There's already one online for the song "On The Rocks" – which can be seen on my website or on YouTube. And I have another group I've started, a string quintet (with aforementioned Paul Cartwright, who also plays on Outlander), and I'll be doing some shows with this group in the spring!
AlternaJazz released a new album from singer-songwriter and multi-faceted artist Raya Yarbrough, "North of Sunset, West of Vine" on October 5, 2018. The twelve song record is available with :

Dress & Shoes / Michelle: Top, Denim, Shoes / Niki: Dress, Shoes, Earrings
It's been a week since we went to Miami and I'm finally sharing my favorites! I loved the Duskii show because the suites were so practical and I felt like you could wear them right off the runway. My other favorite show was Frankie's Bikinis because of how crazy their suits were {like this teddy bear bikini above… crazy right?!} I didn't want to look away from the runway because I was afraid I'd miss something insane! The Sport's Illustrated show was also a blast since it was the launch of their very first swimwear line which included plus sizes. We had front row seats for the show and got a pretty amazing swag bag too! {this Playa spray is amazing and these Diff sunnies are so cute and for a great cause} I linked some suites from each designer below including a few that were featured! Niki from The Andi's List is also sharing photos from the Gottex show over on her blog today. Check it out to see more amazing suits!

Just got back from a girls weekend in Miami for Swim Week and we had such a fun time! The shows were amazing and I cant wait to share my favorite suites with y'all! I rode over with Niki from The Andi's List and our friend Clarissa. I wanted to make sure I was super comfortable so I defaulted to my favorite jeans from Madewell and kept my look simple with a white tee from Lilly Pulitzer. I love this tee because its slightly longer in the back and not tight fitting like some other t-shirts can be {it also comes in two other colors}. I found these slip ons from Nordstrom Rack a few months back and couldn't believe how amazing they were. They're under $35 I love how I can wear them with anything. I packed everything in my Louis Vuitton luggage, meet the girls at Chick-Fil-A and we were off for a fun 2 days in MIA!

Annual Results: 2005 Net Income Improves
Akzo Nobel has reported net income of EUR 961 million for the full-year 2005 (2004: EUR 945 million). Effective implementation of the company's global strategy is driving growth in all units, with revenues from present operations up 6%.
Main highlights
- Net income up at EUR 961 million
- Growth in all units—revenues from present operations up 6%
- Organon—returning to growth, investing in future product sales and pipeline
- Intervet—excellent growth
- Coatings—picked up in second half after challenging start
- Chemicals—strong performance following successful portfolio realignment
- Positive contribution from incidentals
- Dividend maintained—EUR 1.20
Arnhem, the Netherlands, February 7, 2006 — Akzo Nobel (Euronext Amsterdam: AKZ; NASDAQ: AKZOY) today reported net income of EUR 961 million for the full-year 2005, slightly ahead of the 2004 figure of EUR 945 million. Effective implementation of the company's global strategy is driving growth in all units, with revenues from present operations up 6%.
Commenting on the company's financial performance, CEO Hans Wijers said: "Our strategy is effectively overcoming challenges and driving positive developments throughout Akzo Nobel's businesses. The company is in a strong financial position and we are well positioned for investments in growth.
"Organon achieved its major objective for 2005 with a return to topline growth, while Intervet had an excellent year as good revenue growth and lower costs contributed to a strong double-digit profit increase. After a tough start to the year, Coatings recovered well in the second half, boosted by successful price increases and rapid growth, particularly in the emerging markets. The benefits of the portfolio realignment at Chemicals were also clearly evident as our focused activities improved revenues and profits."
The 2005 figures show that total EBIT for the year decreased 3% to EUR 1,486 million. The company's R&D expenses were EUR 834 million, which is 6.4% of sales, up 2% from last year.
The fourth quarter figures for 2005 were also announced today, with Akzo Nobel reporting that revenues from present operations rose 10%, mainly due to strong sales across the board, especially at Organon and Coatings. EBIT rose substantially as a result of special benefits received by Organon, partially offset by higher R&D and marketing expenditures and restructuring and impairment charges. Net income more than doubled year on year to EUR 317 million, boosted by net incidental gains.
Organon—return to topline growth
's return to topline growth signaled an achievement of its major 2005 objective. The business ended 2005 with positive trends across most treatment areas driving a 3% increase in revenues to EUR 2,425 million for the year. Sales of contraceptive vaginal ring NuvaRing® grew autonomously 58% in 2005, while fertility treatment Puregon® /Follistim® became Organon's biggest selling product with sales rising 24% to EUR 355 million. Organon's EBIT increased 51% to EUR 415 million, representing a 17.1% margin for the year. This included the receipt of major special benefits, partly offset by settlements and impairment charges. Organon's fourth quarterly results were impacted by relatively high R&D and sales and marketing expenses.
Intervet—excellent growth
produced strong results in 2005 with revenues increasing by 7% to EUR 1,094 million. The business' performance was boosted by efficiency improvements in manufacturing, supply chain, and marketing, resulting in an EBIT of EUR 238 million, up 29% from 2004 and equivalent to an operating margin of 21.8%. Intervet expanded its strong market position in Europe, while in North America, sales were buoyed by new product introductions in the companion animal sector. Business is also growing in Asia, where large areas have been severely affected by outbreaks of avian influenza.
The development of human influenza vaccines by biotech unit Nobilon, in cooperation with Intervet and Organon, is progressing on schedule.
Coatings—good recovery after challenging start
revenues grew by 6% in 2005 as the business achieved 5% average price increases for the year. Growth was mainly fueled by expansion in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. The company continued to improve its portfolio through selective acquisitions. Operating income declined 5% in 2005 to EUR 384 million, mainly due to steeply rising raw material prices and difficult economic conditions in mature markets, especially in Western Europe. These were offset in the second half of the year by price increases, cost measures, and growth initiatives. At the end of 2005, emerging markets represented 34% of worldwide sales.
Chemicals—successful portfolio realignment
Nobel Chemicals made good progress in 2005 as the company successfully realigned its portfolio into five growth platforms. Overall, revenues increased by 4% and the present operations delivered a strong performance in the face of raw material price hikes and rising energy costs. The company's streamlined focus resulted in Base Chemicals and Functional Chemicals turning in strong performances, while Surfactants showed a clear improvement. Pulp & Paper Chemicals and Polymer Chemicals had a mixed year due to margin pressure. The divestment program is progressing on schedule, and the company aims to have all the planned divestments finalized during the first half of 2006. The investment program has been accelerated to meet the growth plans set for the refocused business.
Wijers: "We expect to deliver continued sales improvements across our portfolio and we aspire to further grow earnings at Intervet, Coatings and Chemicals. As in the last quarters of 2005, at Organon we will try and find the right balance between the required expenditures in R&D and marketing and sales for new products with the ambition to protect our margin.
We are in excellent financial shape and the company is in a strong position to significantly accelerate its growth plans and build on the positive developments of 2005. We will continue to manage our balance sheet in a highly disciplined manner, whereby other options for shareholder value creation, such as a share buy-back program, are evaluated against investments and acquisitions for growth."

Majorities in these two states oppose same-sex 'marriage'
FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas, November 13, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – In a Pew Research survey earlier this year, nearly three quarters (72%) of Americans said they saw recognition of homosexual "marriage" as "inevitable." Even a majority of homosexuality opponents (59%) said that legalizing gay "marriage" was "inevitable."
Before the U.S. Supreme Court found same-sex "marriage" in the Constitution and dictated its acceptance throughout the land, the Washington Post presented it as generally accepted by Americans, reporting on "rapidly shifting attitudes about marriage equality" and concluding that "same-sex marriage cannot be stopped." Newsmax proclaimed, "over half of Americans favor giving gays and lesbians the right to marry." The Atlantic headlined, "America Is Ready for Gay Marriage" and claimed, "61 percent of Americans say they support gay marriage." The Huffington Post boasted, "Most Americans now say they wouldn't be upset to learn their child is gay or lesbian, and they react positively or neutrally to the idea of more gays and lesbians raising children of their own."
But new studies in at least two states reveal that Americans are not, in fact, so supportive of homosexual "marriage."
A statewide poll in Arkansas found that a full 63-percent majority of citizens in the state oppose same-sex couples attempting marriage, with nearly two thirds saying that they do not think such "marriages" should be recognized. Only 29 percent approve.
University of Arkansas political science professor Janine Parry concluded, "Arkansans aren't particularly persuaded by the national court ruling."
Furthermore, 57 percent of Tennesseans oppose or "strongly oppose" same-sex "marriage," according to a new poll conducted by Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Only 29 percent support redefining marriage to include same-sex couples.
Click "like" if you want to defend true marriage.
Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council, told LifeSiteNews, "The new polling data out of Arkansas and Tennessee shows that voters in those states are just as strongly opposed to redefining marriage as ever."
"This should stand as a rebuke to the Supreme Court and to their illegitimate effort to remove the question from the democratic process," Sprigg commented.
Even among those most influenced by the mass media – young adults between 18 and 34 – half of Tennessee respondents remain opposed to the Supreme Court's June 26 decision constitutionalizing homosexual "marriage."
Noting that the redefinition of marriage has only minority support among 18- to 34-year-olds, Sprigg concluded, "This proves that the narrative suggesting the younger generation has no problem with such radical social re-engineering is false."
The Tennessee poll found that even among Democrats, 44 percent oppose or strongly oppose same-sex "marriage." Among the state's Republicans, 74 percent oppose or strongly oppose gay "marriage."
"If five Supreme Court justices thought that their pronouncement from on high redefining marriage last June would persuade Americans to their position, they'd better think again," Sprigg stated. "I give kudos to the people of Arkansas and Tennessee for not being fooled by Justice Kennedy's lofty rhetoric."
The MSTU poll surveyed registered voters statewide by telephone and has a margin of error of 4 percent. Last spring's poll of all Tennessee adults found the same: 55 percent oppose same-sex "marriage."
The Arkansas poll was sponsored by the Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

|The paper focuses on the motivation of bank employees, specifically bank specialists who are university graduates but do not work in managerial posts. The number of university-educated employees not working in managerial posts has been growing rapidly in recent years in all fields. This is the case not only in the Czech Republic, where this research was carried out, but in most of the industrialised countries. The paper identifies the most important motivation factors for this group of bank specialists, and establishes how significant the different motivation factors are for them. It goes on to analyse the bank specialists' satisfaction levels with the current effect of the different factors. The results of the research could help bank managers to motivate their staff better and thus help to improve the performance of the company as a whole.

By AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION NEWS
With the flu season now under way, the National Council on Aging has released results from a survey showing that fewer than one in 10 older adults worry about getting the flu. That's despite data showing that hospitalization rates are on the rise among people ages 65 and older.
People in the 65-and-older group are more likely to have complications from the flu. The risk is even higher for those with a history of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure.
The new survey found that a third of older adults do not know that someone with a chronic health condition such as heart disease or diabetes are at risk for flu complications. And only 8 percent are concerned about getting the flu.
Last flu season, doctors recorded the highest hospitalization rates for older Americans in recent years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each year, people ages 65 and older account for about half of all flu-related hospitalizations and 90 percent of flu-related deaths.
The flu vaccine is recommended annually for everyone 6 months and older, and a high-dose flu shot is available for people 65 and older. More than half of survey respondents were unaware of the high-dose option.
"If someone doesn't get vaccinated and develops the flu, it's the advanced heart disease and heart failure group we're concerned about," said Vincent Bufalino, M.D., of the Advocate Heart Institute in Naperville, Illinois.
"If the heart is already working at 40, 50, 60 percent capacity, it overcompensates and that leads to complications," he said. "If they get the flu or pneumonia on top of heart failure, they could develop worsening failure."
CDC data from last flu season show that a third of seniors skipped the flu shot, which is free for people on Medicare.
According to the survey, only half of respondents were confident in their knowledge about the different types of flu shots, including the various flu strains.
"Those viral strains change every year and it is vital for older Americans to get these vaccines as they change," Bufalino said.
But it's not just older adults who need the new vaccine each year, he said. Anyone over age 35 with heart disease should be vaccinated.
The flu vaccine is 50 percent to 60 percent effective against the flu, CDC director Tom Frieden, M.D., told reporters at a recent briefing. Mutated versions of the virus arise that can sneak past a vaccinated person's immune system.
"We track flu viruses as they travel across the globe all year long to help us prepare the best vaccines for the coming U.S. seasons, but influenza is unpredictable," William Schaffner, M.D., medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, said at the briefing.
Even so, a flu shot is still the best defense against the flu, Bufalino said, especially for people with heart disease.

Chris Gayle smashed a breathtaking 162 as West Indies fell agonisingly short of a famous one-day international victory against a Jos Buttler-inspired England in Grenada.
The hosts almost chased down England's 418-6 – Buttler hitting 150 off just 77 balls – but the tourists held their nerve for a 29-run win as leg-spinner Adil Rashid took four wickets in the 48th over.
For large parts of West Indies' astonishing chase, it appeared Gayle would see them home – the opener hammering 14 sixes in a memorable knock.

Most people understand that when a person has profited from criminal activity, the government can take steps to deprive that person of the illicit profits. But few understand that, through a practice called civil asset forfeiture, law enforcement can permanently take property they believe to be involved in criminal activity without ever having to prove anyone guilty of a crime, or even file charges.
In Illinois, from 2005 through 2015, law enforcement extracted over $300 million from Illinois residents—a figure that is almost certainly very conservative, because reporting standards around civil asset forfeiture range from lax to nonexistent. Under state law, nearly all the property taken through forfeiture is funneled directly back into the coffers of the same police departments and prosecutors who seized it, creating a strong incentive to use asset forfeiture as a profit center.
A person whose property is seized by the police has few tools to fight back in the courts, even if she is innocent of any wrongdoing. The owner must pay a "cost bond" equal to 10% of the seized property's value, on top of court filing fees, just for the privilege of arguing for the return of the property. Even an indigent person will never be appointed a lawyer. And unlike a criminal defendant, the property owner in a forfeiture case enjoys no presumption of innocence; in the event that the matter goes to trial, the deck is stacked in favor of the government through unconscionably low evidentiary and procedural standards, ensuring that the owner will rarely prevail.
Automobiles are a particularly ripe target for forfeiture, because of their high value and the ease with which the government can argue that a vehicle was "used" in committing a crime, even a minor offense like possession of a small amount of drugs. Vehicle seizures can be particularly disruptive to people's lives, since losing the use of one's car for weeks or months at a time can render a person unable to keep a job or attend school, obtain medical or child care, or even to attend court proceedings to try to reclaim the seized property.
While representatives of law enforcement insist that they use asset forfeiture judiciously and only as a tool to "take the money out of drugs" or for other reasons ostensibly related to protecting safety, the vast majority of the people who populate Illinois' forfeiture courtrooms are not alleged to be drug kingpins or serious criminals; in fact, few can even afford legal representation.
Very frequently the innocent parents or grandparents of a young person who is alleged to have violated the law find themselves fighting an uphill battle with the government to reclaim a seized vehicle. Other forfeiture cases involve seizures of modest amounts of cash, even as little as a few hundred dollars or less. It should not be surprising that the high cost of trying to reclaim seized property, and the low odds of succeeding, mean that many owners decide quite rationally that it is not worth the effort.
The Illinois General Assembly should follow the lead of numerous other state legislatures that have recently overhauled their forfeiture laws. Illinoisans' property should never be forfeited without a criminal conviction (According to a recent poll by the Illinois Policy Institute, 89% of voters agree). Furthermore, innocent owners should no longer be required to walk a legal maze in order to prove their innocence; rather, the government should bear the burden of justifying the forfeiture. There needs to be greater transparency around how much property the government takes through forfeiture, and how it uses the proceeds. Finally, the legislature must remove the incentives which encourage law enforcement agencies to maximize the use of forfeiture for their own financial benefit.
Enacting these common-sense reforms would help ensure that asset forfeiture is used only as necessary for legitimate law enforcement purposes, and never as an instrument of "policing for profit."

During the last few years a number of farmers have been breached for exceeding the 170 kg N/ha/year nitrogen loading limit under the Northern Ireland Nitrates Action Programme by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA). As the Nitrates Regulations are part of cross-compliance requirements, any breach will result in a Direct Support Payment penalty.
A nitrates derogation allows a higher organic nitrogen loading of up to 250 kg N/ha/year on some farms (it is not applicable to pig and poultry farms). All other farms in Northern Ireland must comply with an organic nitrogen loading limit of 170 kg N/ha/year. The EC insist that farmers applying for a derogation must comply with additional criteria which are similar across Europe and are aimed at protecting the environment.
Under the EC rules, any farmer wishing to avail of a derogation have to apply annually to NIEA and must comply with additional measures. To be eligible for derogation, farms must operate below 250kgN/ha/year from grazing livestock manure (cattle and sheep); have at least 80% of agricultural land in grassland; shall not exceed a phosphorus balance of 10kgP/ha/year and soil sampling must be carried out every four years for each uniform area of the farm. Each year farmers must also prepare a Fertilisation Plan and have this available on farm by 1 March (a template is available).
The UFU would urge any farmer who feels that they may need a derogation to seriously consider their options now and if necessary submit an application to NIEA by the 31 March closing date. While the additional requirements may seem off-putting, the derogation option may well be the most suitable option for some farm businesses. Derogation applications can be submitted online via the DAERA website. Late applications will not be accepted so where required, farmers should act now to ensure these are with NIEA on time.
Farmers who are already operating within an approved 2018 derogation are required to submit a 2018 Fertilisation Account to NIEA by 31 March 2019 as well as an application form if they wish to continue at the higher stocking rate in 2019. Unless they have formally withdrawn from the derogation, submission of the fertilisation account is essential. Failure to submit this will result in a penalty being incurred. Any farmer submitting a Fertilisation Account should complete this accurately and ensure that the detail submitted meets the criteria set for the derogation to avoid any breaches.
DAERA are in the process of renewing the derogation for NI with the European Commission. The Nitrates Derogation is vital to many Northern Ireland cattle farms and is worth millions to the agricultural sector therefore it is important that this review process with the EC is concluded quickly and efficiently to give certainty to farmers going forward.

Kalesi – №1 wooden windows and balcony doors
There are hundreds of thousands of buildings in Estonia and millions of doors and windows are used in them. This is also a reason why there are so many companies producing and mediating windows and doors on our domestic market. But what do the people who live and work in these buildings know about windows? "A wood-aluminium window is a high quality window but expensive, a plastic window will do and is cheap and a timber window is somewhere in between," goes the usual opinion.
Kaisa Haldus OÜ had more than 15 years experience of producing wooden windows and in 2007 began to prepare for the production of laminated wooden windows under the trademark of Kalesi. The aim of the company is to prove itself as well as to everybody else that in the case of light tones, while using contemporary impregnating materials and painting technologies, the durability of wooden window refinement can be compared to that of wood-aluminium window.
At the same time such advantages of wooden windows as thermal isolation, strength, mould stability, aesthetical appearance, environment-friendliness and the quality not to gather dirt caused by static energy on the window jambs and frames, outweigh the somewhat cheaper price of plastic windows.
By today, the products of Kalesi trademark are actively used in many Estonian homes and offices.
The production range includes:
An experience of several years, contemporary technologies used by producing´and the uncompromising quality of materials let the company use the slogan "Kalesi – No 1 timber windows" with no shame.
Kaisa Haldus OÜ's mission is to offer various solutions to window and door problems. Up to 5-year guarantee for windows and balcony doors assures peace of mind for both clients as well as the company.
Come and see us and we will find the most optimal solution to your window or door problem.

Clashing prints and rocking head pieces before it was cool, M.I.A. has style for days.
Mono and dual-color 2 pieces have made a huge impact on fashion this year. Along with the use of lamé fabrics, dressing down with sneakers, and oversized gold jewelry. But let's take it one step further and accessorize with an Indian royal hand fan. And there you have it, M.I.A at the 2013 Pitchfork Music Festival.
With M.I.A.'s recent trip to India to gain inspiration to write and record her 4th studio album, we can tell that South Asian culture has not only inspired her music, but her future fashion moments as well. Holding an Indian hand fan, historically used to cool off royalty in the Mughal era, you can see why we refer to her as Queen of the underground. I'm never surprised to see that M.I.A. has put herself together in an effortless and ingenious way, and based on her collaborations with Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace, and now Kenzo, neither are the fashion industry's leading designers.
Maya has a history of using color in a way that separates herself from other risk-taking fashion idols. She combines sensory overloading fashion ensembles with politically influenced music from her British-Sri Lankan roots to create the ultimate creative expression. No wonder she exudes so much power. I started listening to M.I.A. back in 2008–stimulated by her music and her style–and I never looked back. Not only does she hit the stage looking fresh to death but her back up singers and dancers do as well, assembled in bold red and green 2 pieces with cool arm spinning, feet stomping moves and vocals to match.
When I look at Maya, I see an important message: Let go, live free and don't give a fuck. Look for inspiration everywhere, take it in and let it out. Push your style forward, and never stop pushing.
Now, while we all want to be M.I.A. when we grow up, It's not necessarily in the cards. I can't promise a lucrative career as a recording artist but I can help enhance your look and get you dressing like her.
