SPRING has sprung! I know—that's a cliché statement—however, as I watch new life flying and hopping and tweeting and romping and howling in field and sky, I feel good, which fires up the imagination! So today, I'm going to talk about baby owls. One of my neighbors caught this photo in the Spring of 2014—two young owls nestled in the perfect setting for their protection, ability to view their surroundings, and learn how to grab their next meal.
When developing the setting for a novel, the first thing I do (which most writers probably don't) is consider the TIME(s) OF YEAR during which the story will begin, travel through, and end. This one element of foundational, background research is (I believe) KEY to all the other elements of setting—from locale, to mood and atmosphere, to geography, both topographical and man-made. Below are my owl/story-setting comparison illustrations.
- Spring is the season of breeding for the owl species, which coincides with the greatest possibilities of food supplies and positive weather conditions.
- What "food" do you want to offer your readers in the preface and opening chapter that will flavor their imaginations and entice them to read further?
- The words of description that are used here must create a feel of the season your characters are living in so that your readers will feel the same—such as the cool crispness of spring air balanced by the warmth of the sun.
- Owls are what I call nesting shoppers, selecting appropriate holes in trees or barns or even the abandoned nests of crows and other birds of prey. They also return to these sites year after year and reoccupy them if at all possible.
- The first locale you present to your readers should be so real that they have a feeling of déjà vu—such a strong appeal (or dislike) that they would want to go there (or never go there).
- You are the only person who knows your characters! Where are they at the moment your story opens? In the city? Walking pleasant neighborhood streets? In school? Anticipating going to an ocean beach? Just pulling themselves into a saddle upon their beloved horse and galloping off across a ranch? BE SPECIFIC.
- Owl hatchlings are born over a period of several days because the eggs are laid at different times. Thus you have the sibling "pecking order" with the larger individuals often getting more food (and attention) than the smaller weaker ones, which could affect the survival rate—unless the area (setting) provides plentiful food sources.
- The time of year you've selected for your story's beginning will influence everything that happens afterward. It will give you the ability to demonstrate (not tell) each character's unique feelings IN that seasonal environment such as:
- A spring marriage—which has brought joy to all the characters.
- A Thanksgiving Eve death—that brings sadness—yet a strong element of thanksgiving that the person is "in a better place."
- This sibling/owl/human comparison also provides the picture of character development throughout your story's various seasons.
- The time of year you've selected for your story's beginning will influence everything that happens afterward. It will give you the ability to demonstrate (not tell) each character's unique feelings IN that seasonal environment such as:
The next three blogs will continue this discussion about SETTING. For today, I'll add just one more thought. It is never too early to start planning the "setting" for publishing your book(s). Ask other author's about their publishing experiences and find the best place for your book to be produced and released into the world.

Pets are important to us, and we also consider them as a part of our family. For new pet owners, taking care of your newfound friend can be a bit challenging at first. Here at Paws and Claws, we are not just your typical pet store, we love and care for you and your pet like they were our own, so we have compiled these simple tips to help you learn the basics of how to take care of your pet.
Continue to read on below to learn basic tips on how you can properly take care of your pet.
Clean and safe environment
Just like humans, pets need a safe and clean living environment in order to enjoy their life to the fullest. As responsible pet owners, you must provide your pet with a shelter that will protect them from the harsh elements.
Clean drinking water
Providing fresh and clean is a must when taking care of a pet, as it is vital for survival. Your pet needs water so they can be properly hydrated all the time. If pets are well hydrated, they can enjoy a healthy and happy life.
Nutritious pet food
What your pet eats needs to be carefully considered, as there are plenty of types of food that are not safe for pets, or may have negative effects on your pet. You might want to consider feeding your pet organic pet food to help counter these problems.
Feeding your pet organic pet food can help prevent obesity in your pets. When you feed your pet quality pet food, you can prevent possible health issues such as severe weight gain, allergic reactions, etc.
However, before making the choice to switch to a new diet for your pet, you have to make sure to follow the dietary recommendations that your veterinarian has provided you so you will be able to provide for your pet's proper nutritional needs. These dietary recommendations may vary from one pet to another, as well as the breed, age, size, and daily activities.
At Paws and Claws, we sell a variety of organic pet food that is both healthy and delicious for your pets. However, we are not only limited to pet food we also provide organic treats for your furry friend. Even the treats that you feed your pet have to be carefully considered because feeding your pet table scraps and the like may be unhealthy for your pet.
Daily exercise is a must for your pet
For your pet to stay healthy and avoid being overweight; they must have regular exercise so they can remain fit and have lots of energy. When your pet is in shape, they can enjoy activities that they love to do. By spending time and playing with them, you both get to enjoy your time together and as well keep your pet fit and energetic.
Spend quality time with your pet
Your pets are not just toys or ornaments in your home; you need to establish and develop a relationship with them. You must spend time with your pet and make them feel that they are loved.
By spending quality time with your pet, you will be able to get to know them, as well as understand their personality and their needs. If you invest time for your pet, not only will your relationship deepen but you will be able to prevent possible undesirable behavior in your pets.
Dental care must be given importance
Dental care is important and must not be taken for granted. Your pets are prone to gum diseases and it can cause something more serious down the line. Proper cleaning of your pet's teeth is important as it prevents gum infection and tooth loss that can cause infection in other major organs and may cause heart problems in the future.
Proper grooming and nail trimming
Your pets may have short or long coats and you must be responsible for preventing matted hair as this can be painful for them, not to mention makes your pet look very unkempt.
Overgrown nails should also be taken care of as this can cause difficulty of walking for them, especially when they are prone to breaking and can be painful for them. Here at Paws and Claws, we provide grooming spa services and you can come to visit and check them out if you are located in Oakland, California.
Having a pet is not just a stress reliever, but it is also a fun and fulfilling experience to anyone who loves pets. Your pet's health and well-being are in your hands, so you have to take the responsibility of caring for them properly. Each pet has a specific personality and hopefully, these tips for taking care of your pets will help you and your pet enjoy a life full of happiness together.
At Paws and Claws, we've got all of your pet's needs from pet food to grooming all in one place. If you're located in Oakland, California, feel free to check out our website for more information or better yet, give us a call at 510-336-0105 for our pet food store and 510-336-0198 for our grooming spa to learn more about our different products and services today!

Loss in Afghanistan
Subrosa did a wee post here yesterday on the loss of a Paratrooper in Afghanistan.
She goes on to mention the Wikileaks saga and the effect it is having.
Anyway back on grid............it is further more upsetting to know that the soldier who lost his life that Rosie mentions was in fact potentially subject of a "blue on blue" or whats know otherwise as a friendly fire incident.
Private John "Jack" Howard, died while on patrol in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province.
The 23-year-old, serving in the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, could have been shot by cannon fire from a low-flying US plane, the Ministry of Defence said.
This is indeed very sad and a full investigation is being carried out. This needs done as a matter of urgency.
As part of the Fire Support Group a JTAC officer should be present to control airpower. The airpower should report he agrees or disagrees with the coordinates or ground assessment before munitions are released, if troops are in the vicinity of a target.
Clearly and issue has occurred and indeed to learn of a friendly fire one at that further reinforces the delicate position our troops find themselves in.
However...............bearing in mind recent Wikileaks and the comments of the USA Military and Government, and even that of the dirty crook and puppet of the US that is the Afghan President........do we think that anyone but us outside of the UK actually gives 2 shits.

Jean Marie Vianney Rugerinyange, Senior official in the Ministry of Culture and Sports who went missing since September 30 has been found dead and buried in his compound located in Kinanira IV locality of Muha commune in Bujumbura city this October 4.
Exhumation has started in the morning. However, the Spokesman for the Ministry of Security did not allow journalists to enter in the compound. Only journalists of the national radio and television have been allowed to enter. "I have invited only RTNB journalists," he said. He, finally, invited other media to a press conference in the afternoon.
At 2:30 p.m. in the compound of the departed Jean Marie Vianney Rugerinyange, the police and Red Cross agents are finishing the activity of exhuming the corpse of the assassinated Rugerinyange. Some members of his family are also in the compound.
Pierre Nkurikiye, Spokesman for the Ministry of Security and Catastrophe Management says the family of Mr. Rugerinyange brought a complaint to the police on Tuesday this week that their person went missing. "Since then, the police have started conducting careful investigations to identify the place where the person was," he also says.
"The police have arrested Emmanuel Kwizera, 29, from Bugendana commune of Gitega province who was a houseboy of the deceased," he says, adding that the same houseboy was caught selling the telephones of Mr. Rugerinyange at Bujumbura City Market.
He says the corpse of Mr. Rugerinyange has been finally discovered buried in his compound. "It is apparent that he was killed by many people and the crime was well prepared," he adds.
The Ministry of Security Spokesman says the police will keep carrying out investigations to identify all people who are responsible for the crime.
He adds that investigations will also provide the reasons why the person was killed.

Some of you are probably going "What did you do to Stu? Who are you, oh evil twin? AHA! That's why you grew a goatee! Evil Universe Stu!"
Ahem… I'm not always a curmudgeon. I DO care strongly about the arts, Arts-in-Education, and Education in general. I feel that surrounding my rants I offer some positive thoughts/problem solving ideas to help not only generate creative and critical thinking, but to get someone to Do something. Then there are the times when I just need to vent.
On Facebook, I posted the following:
"Thank An Educator That Has Made a Difference in Your Life Day!"
Yeah, no such day. But, why not? The following people posted:

Lisa DennettThank you Pat Sternberg, Hunter College, undergrad, for nurturing my soul with theater for children.July 21 at 2:05pm ·
- For me: Thank you Dr. Beverly Brumm. Your notes to me on my scene from "A Man For All Seasons" from way back in 1975 still resonate, inspire, and touch. Thank you.
- I would also like to thank my 1oth Grade Honors English teacher. I have NO idea what his name was, but he was really inspiration for me in many ways: I was a staff member and editor on the DeWitt Clinton HS newspaper (solely because of him) but most of all: he took us (the Honors Eng students) to Broadway and Off Broadway shows just about EVERY Wednesday (matinees) and opened up my mind to a variety of theater and movies, which we would then have to discuss and write about the next day in class.
I also have had MANY positive, memorable teaching moments of my own:
- When finishing up Romeo & Juliet with a Fourth Grade Class, some of the girls left the class, crying. Their teacher was upset with me at first: explaining that they were touched and connected to the death scene, that they had reached a place where the work of art resonated with them, and then seeing the look on that teacher's face…priceless. Never was questioned again, by that teacher, about the work I did.
- Holding a regional Professional Development day in my classroom, and having a Process Drama class of mine present in front of teachers from other schools. The kids just blew them away with their commitment and deep understanding.
- Having my Drama Club kids perform at the New Victory Theater on 42nd Street in NYC, and then have the Director of Theater of NYC Schools tell me that he thought my kids presentation was his favorite of the evening!
- A student telling me that I gave her a headache after a pretty grueling Process Drama class. She was amazing in her inquiry throughout the entire process.
- One student wrote and presented a monologue so strong and moving that I choked up in class, and that's not like me. She also got the only standing ovation from her class
That's just five; there are many others.

DescriptionSpringer's Dottyback (Pseudochromis springeri)
Quick Care Facts
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Maximum Size: 3"
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
Water Conditions: 72-80° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Diet: Carnivore
Origin: Red Sea
Family: Pseudochromidae
Species: Pseudochromis
Aquarium Type: Reef Compatible
Species Information
Springer's Dottyback, sometimes referred to as the Springeri Dottyback, is an exceptionally hardy species endemic to the coral reefs of the Red Sea. Once considered to be fairly rare within the hobby, Springer's Dottybacks are currently more readily available as a direct result of increased popularity and captive-breeding practices; in addition, they are an ideal fish species for a "nano" environment due to their small adult size, excellent hardiness, and aesthetic appearance.
The Springer's Dottyback is a highly attractive fish with a black base coloration and beautiful, electric-blue markings on the head and fin edges. Springer's Dottyback will commonly choose a favorite spot to use as a "base of operations" (mainly a cave or overhang), which it will generally keep in close proximity as it darts back and forth for a sense of refuge while feeding.
Aquarium Care
Springer's Dottybacks require an aquarium of at least 30 gallons and should be provided with plenty of live rock structure for refuge and territory. They have a relatively, minimal impact upon their environment and do not necessarily need specialized systems within the aquarium other than quality biological and mechanical filtration. They tend to stay within the middle to bottom areas of the aquarium while they search for zooplankton and other food items upon the live rock and substrate.
They will generally get along with heterospecific tank mates, but they are territorial and may become aggressive towards conspecifics, similar-shaped fish, and timid or slow-moving species; they have also been known to eat tiny commensal and ornamental shrimp (i.e.; Anemone shrimp). Tank mates should be chosen carefully and the most aggressive or territorial fish should always be added as the last inhabitant(s) to the aquarium.
Feeding & Nutrition
Springer's Dottybacks are carnivores and should be fed a variety of meaty foods such as live, frozen, freeze-dried, and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, ghost shrimp, finely chopped krill, bloodworms, chopped crab meat, and other meaty marine foods as well as quality flake and pellet foods for carnivores and omnivores. The variety and nutrition of their food plays a large part in preserving their beautiful coloration. Feed twice per day.
Breeding Information
Through protogynous hermaphroditism, female Springer's Dottybacks can shift sex and become male, but cannot shift back to female. Although the species can be aggressive to its own kind; to form pairs, hobbyists will start off with plenty of room and two fish of different size (or more with a larger aquarium). A male may lure a female to his cave or rock crevice, where she will lay a cluster of sticky eggs. The male will fan and guard the eggs to keep them aerated and safe. 3 to7 days later the eggs will hatch and the young will be in a larval stage for the next 30 days. Enriched live prey (brine shrimp and rotifers) are essential for larval development.

|Henry Yuson Batocabe slay suspect.
Six prime suspects in the killing of Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Rodel Batocabe and his security escort, SPO2 Orlando Diaz, last December 22 are now in police custody, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Oscar Albayalde said Saturday.
Citing reports, Albayalde said two more suspects, Rolando Arimado, alias RR, and Danilo Muella, alias Manoy Dan, surrendered to authorities.
He said Arimado was shuttled to Bicol mainland in the morning after his surrender in Masbate at 7 a.m.
He was taken into custody by operatives of Albay and Masbate police provincial offices after negotiations through his wife and son.
"This latest development is expected to complete the puzzle in uncovering the truth behind this double murder and multiple frustrated murder case," the PNP chief said in a statement.
Arimado, a rebel-returnee, was tagged as look-out and back-up gunman in the assassination of Batocabe.
Muella, another trusted security aide of Daraga Mayor Carlwyn Baldo, surrendered to the Regional Intelligence Office 5 at 1 a.m. Saturday.
He was identified as the suspect who purchased two cal.45 pistols used in the murder.
Aside from Arimado and Muella, four other suspects are in police custody -- Christopher Naval alias Tuping, Emmanuel Rosello alias Boboy, Henry Yuson alias Romel, and Jaywin Babor alias Gie.
A key witness, Emmanuel Bonita Judavar, has provided investigators with relevant information regarding the case from planning to execution stages.
Albayalde noted that only one among the seven indicted suspects has yet to surrender, Mayor Carlwyn Baldo, tagged as the mastermind who allegedly contracted the services of the gunmen in September 2018 to assassinate Batocabe.
Cases of double murder and multiple frustrated homicide were filed in Albay against Baldo and the six others. Batocabe was supposed to run for mayor of Daraga in this year's mid-term elections. (PNA)

Shetland Arts is delighted to announce that it has managed to secure another screening of The Nutcracker, performed by Bolshoi Ballet, to be shown in Mareel on Saturday 29th December at 3pm, despite originally being told by distributors that only one screening would be possible.
In November Shetland Arts announced that, as a special festive treat, it would be showing its first ever "alternative content" (a filmed live event e.g. opera, theatre, ballet, and/or a concert) in Mareel on Sunday 30th December at 3pm with a screening of The Nutcracker performed by the Bolshoi Ballet. This event went on sale on Friday 30th November and sold out very quickly.
Shetland Arts' Head of Development, Kathy Hubbard, said: "Originally we were told by distributors that we could only book one screening of The Nutcracker, but after receiving a huge amount of requests from customers who hadn't managed to get a ticket for the show and who desperately wanted to see it, we asked our programmers to approach the distributors again to see if we could negotiate another screening."
She continued: "Normally alternative content is only shown once in any given cinema. Although it took a little bit of work to negotiate a deal to book another show, we knew the demand was there and the programmers managed to secure another screening in the end."
The score for The Nutcracker is by Tchaikovsky, and it first opened in 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. It was Tchaikovsky's last ballet. Composed in the space of a year, its score today is one of the most popular of all ballet scores. For The Nutcracker Tchaikovsky again joined forces with Marius Petipa, with whom he had collaborated on The Sleeping Beauty.
This version, choreographed for the Bolshoi by Grigorovich, is full of romanticism and philosophical reflections on ideal love. It is one of the great classics of the 20th century and, alongside Spartacus and Ivan the Terrible, is one of Grigorovich's most famous works.
It is Christmas Eve in the home of Mr and Mrs Stahlbaum and their children, Marie and Fritz. Family and friends have gathered for the night's festivities. Presents are distributed to the children. Marie's godfather, Drosselmeyer, gives her a strange toy: a wooden nutcracker, carved in the shape of a little man. At midnight, after the celebrations are over, all the toys magically come to life. The nutcracker grows to life-size and takes command of the tin solders, flying to the rescue of Marie, who is threatened by the Mouse King and his mouse army.
Tickets for this event cost £15 / £11 and go on sale this Friday, 14th December, at 2.00pm via Shetland Box Office in Mareel and Islesburgh, over the phone on 01595 745 555, and online at www.mareel.org and www.shetlandboxoffice.org.

Highest quality Dog Foods - Exactly what do You must knowFat loss search for the best quality dog foods is a much larger venture compared to We initially thought possible. I made a decision to get started on striving distinct dog foods as soon as the ongoing issues using the quality of dog foods also, since each of our men Border Collie, Rodeo problems with sores and it has mutual issues. I desired to make my personal determinations on safety and also high quality upon virtually any dog meals I select to secure our caring canines Rodeo along with Maddie and also course these were pretty sure they must have a very point out as well. Click this link find out more about royal canin hundefoder
It is probably worthy of mentioning that we have been around in the particular dog company for more than 2 decades therefore i did have an excellent idea of some tips i was ready for in a dog meals. Nevertheless, I was stunned in the obliging rules inside dog meals business. It's so feasible for a new food business to manipulate the knowledge installed externally his or her food bundle and after that refer to it wholesome.
I had been much more amazed to locate that will many of the what are named as high quality foods that you'd shell out a substantial price tag regarding within the lower price retailers are actually not necessarily what you make them selves in the market to always be! It is exactly what people promoting money is paying for. Leading myself in order to my own initial massive hint, throwing income at the high priced dog foodstuff won't convert it into a finest quality dog meals.
I began by simply effectively learning how to go through a dog foods brand. There are several techniques and albeit fake practices which make it a priority to understand how you can read the content label. Here is a shortened sort of that way to assist you in getting started out. The first set of labeling rules emanates from the particular FDA and must list the subsequent info:
The particular product has to be recognized as the dog food
The body weight, quantity or even count number with the dog food
Title and from the producer
Directory most elements simply by their particular common title
Report on all ingredients within climbing down from get by simply weight
The next organization that may be regulating your own dog meals is the actual AAFCO or perhaps the Connection of American Supply Control Officials. AAFCO isn't a government firm just like the FDA, rather their members comprise state and federal personnel coming from different companies and also personnel through dog food organizations. They have further rules and label laws in the FDA rules for dog foods. Nonetheless, dog foodstuff laws consist of one state to another and never just about all says agree to AAFCO restrictions.
It really is noteworthy that will AAFCO claims only show up on industrial dog foods, meaning natural diets as well as do-it-yourself diet programs can not be in comparison by using these standards.
With all the dog foodstuff companies employing adorable presentation using sweet as well as appealing names, it isn't difficult so they can imply their particular meals is constructed with nutrients as well as your pet's will cherish this. A lot more fact, they may be concealing the poor top quality of these foods powering extravagant marketing strategies. It is organic for individuals as people to gravitate towards the greater appealing presentation, which is why it's important to discover ways to see the content label.
Puzzled by now? I want to clarify why once i make reference to some organizations hiding the indegent high quality with their dog foods. To begin with, it's totally feasible that you can get a ground beef dog meals that will not truly contain virtually any beef! The situation is placed with the rules and regulations allowing the firms to hide inadequate foods ingredients behind phrasing distort sufficient reason for undetectable symbolism. Below are a few from the statements which are suited for foods labeling that can be unreliable:
With Hen Flavour : Flavour can be noticeable however doesn't have to have virtually any true Poultry supposed contained in the product.
Together with Salmon : Your product is made up of a minimum of 3% trout. If you obtain a product which says "now with true beef" it may simply have 3% actual ground beef inside it!
Beef Dinner : The product need to include at the very least 25% Beef.
Lean meats For Dogs -- At least 95% of the product must be lean meats or even 70% which includes h2o
With the inaccurate words previously mentioned, there are numerous other dog tag statements that you'll need to be wary of: Organic Foods, Organic Food, Gourmet Foods & Top quality Meals -- A dog foods know "Organic" however it may well not essentially become 100% organic and natural. You should also look for synthetic types, calories, antioxidants since potential deceptive ingredients as well as them fluctuate involving manufacturers and also product collections.
You'll want to indicate which ingredients are usually detailed simply by fat but they are shown just before they're going by means of just about any digesting. This provides companies a different way to sleeping pad their brand. By listing the body weight from the beef throughout it is hydrated point out, it can be naturally going to make that higher up on the label as opposed to exact same ingredient after checking out the lack of fluids course of action. In other words, the actual tag can be providing you with just how much ahead of processing in it can be original type, certainly not what you will be in fact acquiring after all of the dampness is slowly removed through digesting.
Look for very poor ingredients which are already divided. For instance, instead of using a wholemeal for example almond, the maker sets apart your wheat in to a lesser product including grain bran along with hemp gluten. These are generally much second-rate merchandise.
Thus you do have a wise decision of the to never use in your better high quality dog foods so what principles in the event you follow when choosing a safe food?
Usually browse the brand and if you've inquiries, inquire!
Ensure the very first ingredient can be a whole beef source including fish, poultry or perhaps lamb.
Simply no health proteins or even beef by-products like bone fragments food and also various meats supper.
Never ever buy something that offers excess canine items coming from portrayal plants.
Avoid poor grains like callus or perhaps split grain like hemp gluten that can cause a lesser product.
Make use of human being rank foods or perhaps organic or even all-natural * remember that these terms are certainly not however managed.
Steer clear of additives -- a good rule will be - if you can't enunciate that -- let it rest!
There is no need to select foods which might be as well certain such as for any particular breed. They cannot offer you just about any great advantage and will most likely charge your more income.
When you are searching for your very best top quality dog foods, make sure you decide on many. Search for 3-5 high quality foods that agree with your current dog and give distinct types and various health proteins or even meats solutions. By doing this your own dog turns into a change in range and also by eating several food solutions you help add healthy breaks.
When you know excellent customer service you need to start trying foods. There are numerous companies which supply free samples, so if you feel thinking about particular brand names, provide organization a call and in most cases these are glad to send out there examples to an alternative potential client.
Take into account that every single dog is different with out a single your meals are befitting each dog. While I believe talking over your dog's diet using your veterinary is always recommended, I am a big fan person, like a dog parent or guardian being the one to create those alternatives along with your dog. The reason why? Effectively, you understand the dog much better than anybody and you're the one to note individuals small subtleties similar to if they are not feeling well, or maybe if they're hurt and so forth. So you'll even be the one to learn if your own dog wants or even dislikes a brand new dog foods as well as set up brand new food will follow your current dog.
Maintain a log of the items a person provided your current dog and exactly how these people liked it of course, if they had any kind of problems. Be sure to will not mix foods in support of give food to all of them individually. Wait around a short time among switching foods or else you possess a dog with a large tummy pain so you will not have an accurate read on if they enjoyed each food and how the idea arranged with these.
Never allow your self become intimidated in this process. That is information on you making a life time healthful best quality foods option for your own dog which is proportional for their everyday health insurance and his or her life-span. Use the guidelines earlier mentioned and good old style wise practice when creating selections. Do not be reluctant to inquire about questions. Utilize message boards, question a veterinary online, your personal vet, a pal or perhaps you happen to be constantly thank you for visiting send an email through among my own speak to kinds.

Ever wonder what it's like to work on a cruise ship? Well, here are ten situations that you'll only run into when you're working on the high seas. Your bed rocks back and forth, you work long grueling hours, and you love every minute of it.
- The shower temperature wildly fluctuates between scalding and freezing (without touching the tap). When you confront maintenance, they pass it off as if it's a regular aspect of showering.
- You wake up in the morning, the boat is listing, shaking, and you think you hear water rushing in. You don't however hear the general emergency alarm, so you ignore every instinct, roll over, and go back to sleep.
- It's 8AM and a member of senior management barges into your room and scolds you for it having a spec of dust on the television. You briefly question if you've joined the military and forgotten about it.
- The ship arrived in port three hours ago, but you're angrily walking up and down the promenade deck because you're not allowed to leave – you've got port manning.
- The ship's announcement bell wakes you up in the middle of the night. You take a few deep breaths upon realizing it's just a medical emergency, and the hull isn't leaking.
- It's 2AM, the bar is closing, and you pretend you're not as drunk as you are, because you know that you can be fired from your job, kicked out of your house, and deported all in one night.
- It's your first month. You think spending 10 dollars on a burger is expensive when you can get one at the buffet for free.
- It's your third month. You'll spend any amount of money not to eat at the buffet.
- You're in a thunderstorm and the ship is rocking violently. Passengers are huddled in their rooms trying to keep calm. You're getting drunk with your friends, a little because this happens all the time, but mainly because you know that there's no way you're going to die sober.
- You both love, and hate your life concurrently, but it's okay, because the crew bar will make everything better.

I have shared before on one method of praying through Scripture as a way to focus your attention during prayer and ground prayer in the soil of the Word. This has been a deeply fruitful and rewarding practice for me and I thought I would share a few verses that are personally meaningful that I use specifically in this way.
Hence I am beginning a Praying the Promises mini-series here on the blog. I have no idea how many of these I might do (though it will probably be at least three or four more…and maybe more depending on how they go!) but I am excited to share these verses. I pray they will either be directly helpful or at least provide a model to use other Scriptures in this way!
The verse I have chosen to begin with is a more recent addition to the verses I pray through like this: Isaiah 33:2. In the ESV, it reads:
O LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you.
Be our arm every morning,
our salvation in the time of trouble.
Why I pray this verse: I was reading through Isaiah for my Old Testament Introduction class last year when I stumbled across this verse. It stood out to me because of some difficulties my family was going through at that time. Without even knowing it, I was looking for a way to express the helplessness and lack of ability I was feeling in my circumstances.
What I love about this verse is that it is an excellent way to begin a specific prayer for help. Praying this verse at the beginning of a request for provision, strength, wisdom, or myriad other topics begins the prayer on a solid foot and helps segue into that next thought. Now, especially when I'm praying for my family, this is one of my go-to verses to begin a prayer with.
How I pray this verse: An example of what this might look like is: "O LORD, please be gracious to me. I wait for you. Please be my strength (in Hebrew, being someone's "arm" is a metaphor for being their strength or deliverance) every morning, not just when I think that I need you, and be my salvation in the time of trouble. Lord, I'm struggling with…"
And that's it! Now here's where I put in my plug for Scripture memory. Can you pray this by looking it up in the Bible and praying after you find it? Of course! But how much better to know this or a verse like it intimately and be able to pray it wherever you go? And immediately in response to whatever circumstance comes your way!
I once heard someone define Scripture memory as "a way to give the Holy Spirit a vocabulary to speak to our heart." While that's true, I also believe Scripture memory is a way to give us a vocabulary to speak back to God.
So there you have it: the first verse in Praying the Promises.
What verse(s) do you use regularly in your times of prayer?

|Beautiful beet salad with greens and truffle oil
Beets are unappreciated, in my opinion. Mention them and either get a big smile, or a big grimace from most folks. That's because they right away think of those pickled beets at the salad bar. Yuck! Now think of a nice, sweet roasted beet fresh from the garden. There, now I've got you thinking in the right direction.
I started this morning with a roasted a pile of fresh beets from the Phoenix Farmers Market that I bought this weekend. Half of them are for my Mom, who prefers it if I roast them for her. "You do it better," she says. I think she's just trying to keep her oven off in this heat.
|Italian Truffle Oil, a special treat
So, like the good daughter that I am, I roasted them all. I saved hers to the side and wondered what to do with mine. Then it him me, why not use the greens and make a salad? Simple…
Then I remembered that my lovely sister bought a bottle of truffle oil for me when she visited Italy recently. I don't use it that often, I just don't want to use it all. But I adore the earthy aroma and flavor when it's drizzled over salads or bread. I know it can be quite expensive and not many people have it sitting in their cupboards, I never did till she gave it to me. But if you can find some, try. If not, olive oil is just as nice and gives a lighter flavor. Make sure you have some good, extra virgin olive oil.
Roasted Beet Salad with Truffle Oil
2 fresh beets, roasted and refrigerated
1 bunch of fresh beet greens, washed and dry
3-4 yellow baby tomatoes
1/2 tsp truffle oil (or olive oil)
1. Roast the beets the night before, or at least put them in the fridge for about an hour so they can cool off. I roast mine at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes.
2. Wash, drain, and pat dry the beet greens, then chop them.
3. Chop beets into bite-sized pieces.
4. Mix greens and beets in the bowl with the tomatoes, salt/pepper.
5. Drizzle just a touch of truffle oil over the salad and mix.
The truffle oil is the best part. It gives the salad a warm, earthy flavor. The greens are slightly bitter and crunchy while the beets are sugary and carmelized, making this a wonderful contrast. The truffle oil just brings this up a notch higher. Don't overuse the oil, or salt and pepper. Lightness is the key here, you want a summer, refreshing salad.
What do you do with your beets? I'm still looking for more ideas. Let me know.

Colour swatches:
Marble stone is a transformed rock that has changed through various factors such as metamorphism. This particular transformation recrystallizes the rock, which contributes to the change in colour and formation. Marble is more suited to be placed in bathroom vanities and bathroom surrounds. However, marble may not be resistant to most acidic foods, which is why it is preferred to be installed in areas that do not interact with items that could potentially damage the surface. This particular stone is a natural stone and it is fire and heat resistant. It is a popular stone to incorporate into interior designs because of its natural beauty and elegance, but it is more frequently used for memorial stones. Marble countertops can be used in bathrooms and kitchens in order to create a clean and elegant atmosphere. It can also be used for fireplace surrounds and wall cladding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you require from me to provide me with a quote?
We would require plans (if available) or measurements, your choice of product or stone, contact details and address or area. If you feel you have more details about your project, please provide us with additional information.

The Essentials List
We carry too many burdens, not just our bags, bags, even books and too much to do, because the contemporary world has difficulty making the list of the essentials.
Taking care of small household chores, not just leaving them to others, taking work seriously and taking time to rest, also dealing with what can get us out of the stress and anxiety of everyday life, having time for family members and to meditate , contemplate or even just think.
Baroque paintings, paintings and music seem to speak of a still world, too calm for my taste, some would say, but the aspects of flowers, bodegons, and still life indicate something else that is hard to see these days: flow power.
It is not the energy of force, but the energy of soul and spirit, the one that can really put us in the essentials in the face of such a troubled life, full of conflict and contradictory values, even if it is claimed to have difficulty living, it is the flow of everyday life, which is not the flow of life, of energy can be said of baroque art.
Some form of spirituality and inner well-being is responsible for harmony and life on the outside, even though daily life pushes us in the opposite direction, we must have the ability to "get out of the conventional" to make the list of essentials. When we were asked by the apostles to teach them how to pray, we could think of meditating or even just thinking for people who have no religious background.
One can for all indicate the Lord's Prayer, the one in the "heavens" not far away, but contemplative and in Being.
May his name be holy in present terms, let meditation and contemplation always be present, may your kingdom of peace and harmony come, if not from the outside, to which we are fighting, at least the interior to face conjunctural difficulties.
And lastly, let us work for daily bread, without seeking excess and consumerism, that we may be able to forgive and be forgiven to go beyond the daily conflict. And deliver us from the evil of war, the destruction of nature, and all social ills.

By Yankuba Jallow
Madi Ceesay, the National Assembly Member (NAM) for Serrekunda West, said democracy cannot compromise a coup, because it is a criminal act.
Mr. Ceesay made this remark at a press conference held at the UDP Central Bureau in Manjai Kunda on Monday, July 17 2017. The press conference was organised in reaction to an article published on the Standard Newspaperregarding the APRC's preparation to commemorate the July 22 coup that brought former president Jammeh to power.
Hon. Ceesay, who described the coup as a criminal act, was speaking in his capacity as the NAM for Serrekunda West.
Hon. Ceesay said as a NAM, he and his colleagues were democratically elected and none of them has used a gun or forced people to arrive at their present positions. He added that all the political parties in the Gambia subscribed to democratic values and this is the reason why all the parties took part in the December 1, 2016 elections. He also said the only means that is used and which is democratically recognised in the country to effect change is elections through the ballot box. Therefore, he said, all parties in the country subscribed to democracy and none has subscribed to a coup.
"July 22, 1994, is synonymous to a coup," he said. He also said nobody can dispute this fact because it was the day when a democratically elected government under the PPP leadership, was overthrown. He described this as the day democracy was killed in the country and the beginning of so many human rights violations.
He said a democratic oriented person, a civic member of parliament and a democratic oriented party should not subscribe to a day when democracy was killed in the country.
"It is a coup, a criminal act which cannot be condoned in anyway," Ceesay said.
Therefore, he added, any party or organisation that attempts to celebrate July 22 1994, is subscribing to a coup and should be banned. He further said any attempt to celebrate the day is tantamount to a mockery of democracy.
He said to glorify July 22 1994, which was a criminal act, is aiding a coup, and that this is a serious crime for anyone to face the full force of the law.
"What happened on July 22, 1994, is a criminal act and should be condemned by all and sundry" he said. He described the coup as a betrayal to the country and is criminalised by the laws of the land because President Jammeh, as he then was a soldier, took the oath of allegiance to serve the nation by securing and defending the integrity of the country. He added that soldiers are paid from taxpayer's money, to defend the state from external aggression; but that former president Jammeh turned his gun against the Jawara regime that was democratically elected and overthrew it, which, he described as the highest level of betrayal to one's country.
He continued that many coups were plotted against former president Jammeh, but were all unsuccessful. He averred that those captured were either executed or sentenced to death which he held is a clear manifestation that the 22 July coup, should not be commemorated because it was illegal.
"If the day was to be glorified, why did Jammeh brutally face those who plotted against him, as he did in 1994?" Ceesay questioned. He said those attempted coups years after 1994, during the tenure of former President Jammeh, all faced the due process of the law because it was a criminal act. He commended the Barrow government for their position on the commemoration of the July 22 1994 coup; that the government is a democratically elected government and will not allow any group to glorify and celebrate a criminal act.
He said APRC is a registered political party and they have the right to organise their own party functions and discuss about party issues but they cannot celebrate July 22, 1994 because the party was not founded in 1994.
"I will call for the banning of the APRC party if they continue to push the agenda of July 22 1994," he said.
In his final statement, Mr. Ceesay said the celebration will be a mockery to democracy in the new dispensation of the country because the country is now enjoying democracy with a democratically elected government.

Duggan Awarded Raise, Selectmen Split Over Cell Tower
Oct 26, 2016 09:58AM
By Andrew Sylvia
Dracut Selectmen. File photo
The Board of Selectmen unanimously voted Town Manager James Duggan a two percent raise on Tuesday night, going into effect retroactively from July 1.
The discussion regarding a raise was a part of Duggan's contract, where the issue of a raise is discussed following a yearly evaluation on the Town Manager's performance.
That performance evaluation was made public at the Oct. 11 Selectmen's meeting, with ratings varying among the five Selectmen.
Selectman Tony Archinski took that point into account as he introduced the discussion regarding Duggan's raise, noting that evaluations by their nature can be somewhat subjective.
Within the evaluation, Archinski gave Duggan several "5 out of 5" scores, with an overall average of 4.23 out of 5, the highest among the five selectmen. He noted that others may not give out a perfect score due to very high standards or a feeling that a 5 would leave no room for future improvement.
Archinski proposed the two percent figure as a compromise between the quality work he saw from Duggan's performance and efforts to maintain fiscal discipline within town government.
No one on the board spoke against giving Duggan a raise in principle, although Selectman Joe DiRocco tempered his generalized support for giving raises to municipal employees as a matter of fairness with his frustration over Duggan's performance.
That frustration stemmed from issues ranging from the recent ambulance contract to morale within town hall and a need for Duggan to work in greater concert with the town government's department heads.
In contrast to Archinski, DiRocco's gave Duggan an overall 2 out of 5 average score, the lowest among the five selectmen.
"I'm not going to recommend no raise, that's not fair, but the situation's not as rosy as some others are putting up," he said.
DiRocco added that the Board of Selectmen needs to do more to direct the Town Manager's actions, indicating that the opposite was taking place.
Selectman Tami Dristilaris noted that former Town Manager Dennis Piendak was given a 13 percent raise in 2011, although DiRocco noted that was Piendak's first raise in five years.
The Selectmen also finalized their recommendations on warrant articles for Fall Special Town Meeting on Nov. 7.
Drawing the most discussion was Article 20, a measure allowing a "stealth" cell phone tower shaped as a historic water tower replica on the Beaver Brook Farm property.
Although there was general support for the article in principle, some confusion over wording within the article. As the article was submitted the Beaver Brook Farm Committee and the warrant was closed in any case, an amendment on the floor of Town Meeting will be required to address the issue of the wording.
The Selectmen voted 3-2 to recommend the article, with Jesse Forcier and Archinski voting not to recommend the specific wording that was before the board on Tuesday night.

Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre aiming to become plastic-free
The staff at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre at Craven Arms are pulling together with their visitors to reduce the amount of single use plastic used around the site, moving towards cutting it out all together in the coming months.
Over the last year, the team at the centre has made steps to remove plastic cutlery, cups and straws from the café and have almost entirely replaced them with wooden and paper options. They have also replaced old takeaway containers with new biodegradable cardboard ones and have a free drink offer with every purchase of the eco reusable mugs that can be bought from the centre's shop.
The centre's branded sweets are now packaged in entirely biodegradable film packaging that is compostable and will also biodegrade in ocean water. The centre no longer provides plastic carrier bags of any kind and has replacement tough paper bags that can be used for shoppers to take their shopping home which can be reused.
In the coming months, the site will see new recycling bins for all visitors to use for their waste and the team will continue to seek out replacement options for all single use plastic that is used operationally.
Centre manager, Grant Wilson said: "It is very important to the charity and to us all as individuals that we make these steps to lessen our impact on our environment.
"Our mission is to connect people to the food, history and landscape of the Shropshire Hills and we want to preserve our countryside and oceans for years to come. We hope to cut out our use of single use plastic and encourage all of our visitors to do the same where possible.
"We offer reusable eco travel mugs at a discounted rate and have a range of bamboo products in our shop, replacing some of our plastic children's toys. We have recently changed all of our lighting to LED which helps to reduce our energy usage. We are also a refill station for tap water, encouraging visitors to refill their water bottles rather than buy new ones."
Entry to the Discovery Centre and Onny Meadows is free but there is a charge for visitors to enjoy the Shropshire Hills Through Time exhibition and visit the centre's mammoth.
The centre offers an extensive programme of family events, adult courses and a variety of activities for the whole family. The unique grass roofed building houses a replica of the famous mammoth skeleton found in Shropshire.

Is The Dodge Viper Coming Back With A V8 Under The Bonnet?
According to a new report, the Viper is making a return for 2021, but it won't use a V10
You can't help but love the Dodge Viper. Its recipe is simple, bonkers and effective: stick a huge naturally-aspirated V10 up front, send its power to the rear wheels via a manual gearbox and keep it light-ish. How can you argue with that?
However, not enough people made the transition from admiring to actually laying down their hard-earned for a Viper, and amid poor sales in 2017, Dodge pulled the plug. So the Viper is down, it seems, but not out: Car and Driver is reporting that the genre-blending coupe is making a comeback for 2021.
The format, to begin with at least, sounds quite familiar. It'll utilise a spaceframe platform, and have a long bonnet with the engine mounted just behond the front axle. But there's one rather large departure from the Viper norm: there may not be a V10.
The C&D report claims that Chrysler is cooking up an all-new V8 to replace the ancient iron-block Hemi engine. The publication is merely "guessing" that this V8 will be used as the Viper's first powerplant, but that would make sense: it seems unlikely that the US firm would develop an all-new V10 just for this car.
We're getting into pure speculation now, but the report reckons the starting point would be around 550bhp, with a supercharged 700bhp+ version - "essentially a second-gen Hellcat engine" joining later.
What do you think of the idea of a V8 Viper?

Talk:Configuration API Reference
In regards to what reloadConfig does, below is the body of the method.
public void reloadConfig() {
newConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(configFile);
InputStream defConfigStream = getResource("config.yml");
if (defConfigStream != null) {
YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
The first line is clear, it loads the config file, in the data folder. Then it loads from the jar config.yml and sets it as default. --Sagacious Zed 17:32, 23 October 2011 (EST)
- Apparently I didn't notice the first line. I am curious as to why it doesn't seem to work though. --Feildmaster 17:45, 23 October 2011 (EST)
- Possibly an error on user usage. Let me check if he tries to store it incorrectly, when he gets back online --Feildmaster
I clicked "Configuration API REFERENCE" and it took me to "Introduction..."... I clicked "Bukkit Plugin Getting Started" and it took me to a hello world for java.
- It is intentional that the link "Configuration API Reference" links to Introduction_to_the_New_Configuration, as this page, as along with the links to the Javadoc is the only document on this wiki the explains the Configuration API. I am however not able to find the link "Bukkit Plugin Getting Started" --Sagacious Zed 21:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)
As part of the move into BukkitDocs I propose that the title be changed from Introduction to the New Configuration to Configuration API. The API has matured enough to stop referencing it as the New Configuration API. --Sagacious Zed 23:00, 12 June 2012 (EST)

Depreciated Methods
Under the Implementation for Reloading tutorial - same code as discussed above more specifically the following line:

Uses the deprecated method YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(InputStream) this method has been deprecated in the API. I propose that this should be altered or removed so deprecated methods are not used as a reference point for developers.

In the ever-growing technology dominated society we live in, phones and tablets have become necessities to execute simple tasks. Only a decade ago, such devices were arbitrary additions to our lives, but now they are omnipresent even in schools. Such a system in which electronic devices are used to complement one's education is known as e-learning.
E-learning is a rapidly growing industry due to its affordability (often software is free) and its simplicity. The online platform encourages curious learners to seek out more than what their schools provide and to keep expanding their horizons through online courses. Given its capability to share materials in a plethora of formats such as videos, documents, and interactive images, e-learning is in fact a considerably improved version of the typical education system. Some argue that e-learning removes the sense of community in a typical class. However, in many platforms such as Lynda, users can even communicate with professors via chats or forums. Instead of considering e-learning as an auxiliary, it must be a replacement for classical education.
The benefits of e-learning do not stop there. On the online platform, students are provided with freedom to choose the difficulty of their courses. Within the course itself, students can skip the topics they find easy and retake the challenging ones at any time or place, at their own pace. This flexibility encourages students to take the time to completely grasp the difficult topics they might simply ignore in a traditional class, allowing for a better understanding of the subject.
E-learning's advantages also resound within the realms of business and industry. For instance, using the internet to further one's knowledge allows the very latest information to be accessed. This is particularly important if the e-learning training is being given to employees in a sector where keeping up-to-date on industry developments is of the utmost importance. Many businesses are attracted by the accessibility of such systems and, thus encourage training via e-learning.
E-learning is proving especially crucial in the developing world, as the digitization of learning can accelerate progress towards the fourth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, set by the United Nations Development Programme, which aims to ensure quality education for all. There have been cases in South Africa where the slow and relatively expensive internet connections have hindered the spread of e-learning. However, with time and patience, e-learning may fuel more industries to improve such downfalls, potentially contributing to further development in South Africa. Moreover, industries within developing countries can take advantage of this medium to develop their workers' professional skills, also contributing to the economic growth. Because e-learning platforms are usually free, there will also be little to no financial burden on these companies. As such, e-learning in the long-run can bring about not only local but also international changes through economic growth and development.
Undeniably, however, the drawbacks of e-learning cannot be ignored. Practical skills such as crafting or painting certainly require tangible experience to be taught properly. Similarly, assessments that are computer-marked generally have a tendency to be only knowledge-based rather than being practicality-based. Some claim that this method does not reward the critical thinking skills that we need in society.
Nonetheless, the deficiencies do not outweigh the benefits of such systems. As an avid e-learner myself, I quickly assimilated to the digitization of education and benefited from the essence of e-learning. In high school, I learned how to code in HTML, and although programming can be considered a practical skill, through this medium, I published my own e-learning platform to give back to the online community that has kindled and fueled my interests in programming. As e-learning encourages productivity and efficiency, the digitization of education will never cease and soon, it will become a rival to the traditional education systems.

Urbanstep returns with an awesome dubstep remix of "Sun Goes Down" from Robin Schulz.
I have a huge weak spot for horns and strings in EDM tracks, so this one really hit me right in the feels. The drop comes quite unexpectedly – no drum rolls or anything to really speak of, but that's just another way of doing things. Urbanstep makes some pretty large use out of the vocals, and why wouldn't you when you have a voice like Jasmine Thompson's to sample? The second drop comes pretty much identical to the first, making this a pretty decent track if you wanted to randomly drop it into a set.

Group says U.S. restaurants promote "extreme eating"
Many U.S. chain restaurants are promoting "extreme eating" with dishes that pack at least a day's calories and fat, without giving customers facts about their orders, a consumer group said on Monday.
Displaying restaurant offerings including a cheese-laden chicken-and-pasta dish they dubbed "Angioplasta," officials at the Center for Science in the Public Interest said such dishes help fuel national epidemics of obesity and heart disease.
They urged local, state and national governments to make restaurants list nutritional data on their menus.
Michael Jacobson, the group's executive director, took aim at "table-service" chain restaurants like Ruby Tuesday's and Uno Chicago Grill. Such places increasingly stuff their dishes with extra unhealthy ingredients, he said.
"What we're finding is that table-service restaurants have launched into a whole new era of extreme eating," Jacobson said. "If we're going to deal with the epidemic of obesity and the tremendous prevalence of heart attacks and strokes, we're going to have to do something about restaurant foods."
Jacobson's group often criticizes at a variety of restaurant foods. Some critics deride the group as self-appointed food police.
Jacobson said restaurants have had more than enough time to voluntarily provide nutritional data such as calorie, fat and salt content but many do not.
"Restaurants have every right to make these foods and you have every right to eat them," Jacobson said. "But I think at the very least these restaurants should give consumers the information that would enable them to make some decent eating choices."
此消费者权益组织的执行主任迈克尔・雅各布森将类似Ruby Tuesday's和 Uno Chicago Grill等提供"桌上服务"的连锁餐馆作为此次行动的主要目标。他说,这些餐馆提供的食物中所含的不健康成分越来越多。
offering : 指餐馆提供的食品
self-appointed : designated or chosen by oneself rather than by due authority(自封的)

How to pay tax in America, when you are living in the U.K.?
I don't know if anyone can help. I have got a house in America (Ohio) which I have just recently bought. It is being rented out to a family who is paying rent but I know I'm going to have to start paying tax on it.
Does anyone know how I do this? I am also a U.K. citizen I don't have any connections in America, apart from the house I just bought. Please help!?

Property taxes are usually paid annually. If you have a mortgage, terms of your mortgage may include "PITI" - your monthly mortgage payment goes to pay principal, interest, taxes & insurance. The service company for the mortgage pays the taxes & insurance out of funds from your mortgage payment.
You can hire an accountant, manager, or service company to collect monthly rents, and pay out mortgage (if any), property taxes, and insurance out of the rental income.
You must file US income tax returns. Keep records of property acquisition costs, maintenance & repairs, property taxes, utilities, management fees, etc. You deduct expenses from income & pay income taxes on that income. If you have hired an accountant, manager or service company, they usually help with the annual income tax return, too. Compare services & costs from various providers, get references!!! Then select the provider who can do the best for you.
Otherwise, you have to get your property tax bills & do funds transfer to pay taxes on time. Penalties for late payment can be very stiff! IRS does produce instructions for income tax returns (Publication 17), including instructions for the special form for income properties - but most people find US income tax system rules downright Byzantine & prefer to have a pro do it all, despite the expense. Then if any tax is due, you have to arrange to pay in US dollars.
Do you have a US bank account for tenants to deposit rent? Pay taxes - property & income - along with other expenses, out of the US account. With "paperless" electronic banking, you may be able to pay everything online from home in UK. And it avoids foreign exchange transaction fees.
If the taxpayer does NOT elect to have his property taxed on a 1040-NR *and* the 30% of rent is withheld, they do not have a filing requirement. This is why some people don't make the election.

The city or town you own the house in should have your U.K. address to which they will send you the property tax bill. The local school district also taxes you. They should also have your address. When the title was issued to you, your name and address for tax purposes would be put on file in the local county records for this purpose.

An accounting firm experienced in cross border tax issues can also tell you. The UK and the US does have a tax treaty so any taxes paid to the US IRS should be a credit on your UK taxes.

Accountant is the right suggestion, but in all reality, how are you managing the property? Are you using a property manager? What do you do when the heater goes out?
Do you own the property in your individual name or did you setup an entity to own it (an LLC perhaps)? Why do I get the feeling your individual name...which any lawyer would have advised against...
I own this by myself, it is in my name but I am using a property managing company to rent out the property for me? Is that not a good option?

Do your tenants know they are required to send 30% of their rent payments directly to the IRS? This mandatory withholding on FDAP income.
Did your real estate agent tell you to get am ITIN? If you elect to be taxed the same way a US person is on real estate (as opposed to just paying 30%), you have to file, make an election, and deduct expenses, including depreciation. When you eventually sell, the depreciation is recaptured against the gain.
as well as IRS publication 519.
