At  Rio, the Olympics swimming pools turned green after hydrogen peroxide was dumped in the water, organisers revealed.  A contractor poured 80 litres of the chemical into both the diving and water polo pools on August 5, the day of the opening ceremony, but the mistake only emerged when the water started to change color days later.   The hydrogen peroxide, more commonly known as bleach, neutralised the chlorine in the water, allowing algae to bloom and turning the water green. Officials worked through... Читать дальше...

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with gardens. I love sitting in them, hate working in them.   That's not always been the case. Years ago, when I first got married and we moved into a little house with a tiny back yard I asked the old couple next door if I could use part of their garden to grow vegetables.  They agreed readily to this arrangement, and, over the next few months, told me how much they were looking forward to the carrots, potatoes and beans that I'd promised to share with them.

Panama tourism could improve its position in the coming years due to heavy investment in infrastructure, while Costa Rica must diversify its market to maintain its leadership in this sector.

In a close comparison of the two countries, leaving aside for the purposes of this article the social stresses that the canaleros are imposing their economic advantage through infrastructure, while Costa Rica is still planning how to rely less on the performance of its main trading partner, United States.

To enhance  economic health and quality of life the experts tell us to do everything possible to enhance a community's unique character. Every community have attributes which make it unique as with Greenville, SC and Fredericksburg, VA. Looking at how another community took advantage of its unique character is a worthwhile effort. Trying to copy its character is not.

Fredericksburg is an historic city not defined by a single event or time. Читать дальше...

It seems like Facebook aka facistbook is getting more obsurd by the day. A couple of days a go I posted a pic on Instagram that was shared on Facebook and for some reason today, they took it down because they though this picture contained Nudity. Really Facebook, you think this picture contains some kind of nudity. If Facebook thinks this contains some kind of Nude Image, than I wonder what is the Facebook standard for obscene these days? It just seems like Facebook can't distinguish anything... Читать дальше...

Day 3 was definitely a lighter day for activity and my last in the Karlin neighborhood for this trip. I really did enjoy this neighborhood with its mix of restaurants and bars and convenient location. I would defiantly return to it on future trips. 

All visiting New Delhi, the Capital, throng to India gate, illuminated every evening, from 19:00 to 21:30.  Sure most of us have watched  Republic Day Parade starting  from Rashtrapati Bhavan and passes around the India Gate. It it not merely a tourist spot ~ a place we all have to respect.
The greatest day for all of us is 15th August ~ Indian Independence Day. Let us celebrate 70th Independence Day of the ...

Photography is one of the most important elements of food blogging. For a successful food blog, food photographs need to look as delicious as the recipe itself. As every food blogger, I too struggled a lot with my food photography initially. There was a big learning curve and I enjoyed every bit of it. In this post, I have tried to post some of my experiences which could benefit for improving photography and on about how to get your photos accepted ...

Vibriance Super-C is a new brand on the market and one that has impressed the Beauty Info Zone team since we received this. Right now Vibriance Super-C Serum is the one and only product on the market from them but we’re certainly hoping it’s not the last. It’s manufactured in a GMP accredited USA laboratory and meets the highest standards in the industry. Sample testing is conducted on site to ensure safety and efficacy.

I haven't laughed this hard since The Aristocrats – a decade ago, gasp! But only at the food orgy at the end. Before that, chuckles and giggles, but nothing that threatened a urinary accident. 
Sausage Party opens in a supermarket, Shopwell's, and spends much of its time there, but with unpleasant excursions to the outside world, known as "The Great Beyond" to the items stocking the shelves. It is their hope to be chosen by the gods, that is, shoppers, to be taken to a wonderful life in that... Читать дальше...

Luke 12:49-53

Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against ...... Читать дальше...

As many of you know, I have been spending a lot of my time with my Food TV blog recently including a celebrity sugar artist interview and a campaign to promote Food Network Star finalist Jernard Wells, The Chef of Love. I thought I would make a smooth transition back to promoting books and writers. So, I am going 'off the menu'....

Once children are mobile, it is often difficult to maintain in one place. Young children love to explore and learn, so parents should take advantage of this, to offer learning and fun experience. You can trigger creativity at an early age in many positive aspects in the future. There are several ways to maintain a half to three years in or out.

Like most gardeners and allotmenteers in the UK I grow some Runner Beans every year. In fact, I'd probably go so far as to say that they are THE most popular crop in our gardens. You see them everywhere. Amongst their chief virtues are the fact that they are relatively easy to grow (as long as you can provide slug-protection in their early days), and they provide a good yield from a relatively small space (because they grow mostly upwards rather than sideways).

I needed a stopover for my recent trip down to Devon.  I decided to choose somewhere that was not quite where I wanted to be, but that was when I knew I would be ready to stop driving for the day.  I found a hotel close to Buckfast Abbey.  Very close, actually belonging to the Abbey.  Before dinner I decided to clear my head of a day that felt pretty much like I had been driving for most of it and go for a wander.

Well, right now I ought to be gathering together about a quarter of the entire contents of my household, to fit into my car, as I leave fairly soon for an indeterminate period of time.

No, I'm not being kicked out, we're going on holiday, and the to do list looms.  But I wanted to do a quick post before we tackled the great highways of the UK.

Last night we undertook a good deal of the task ahead of us, that is cleaning the house and gathering all the things that we absolutely ...

Good strong stories, as we all know, transport us to other people’s worlds. So, when we’re reading fiction, even though we know the people we’re reading about aren’t real, if the story has a successful dramatic arc we’ll empathise with those imaginary people and their difficulties as if they were real. And now Paul J Zak, Director of the Centre for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University in California, has worked out, neurologically-speaking, why we do this:

Those of you who call into this blog regularly will recognize the image below. When I closed my office door in Teddington Baptist Church for the last time, I left it on the noticeboard above the desk. The phrase was one made famous by Mother Teresa of Calcutta. In the nursery of her home for the sick and dying in Calcutta, often the noise rising from the rows of cots would reach such levels that speech was impossible. Signalling to each other across the room the nuns would hold up five fingers... Читать дальше...
