<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermoon" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Supermoon">Super Moon</a> 2014</h2>
<div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Goudy Stout; font-size: medium;">Basic Full Moon Ritual</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">First cast a Circle. The Circle should be fully cast, as major acts of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_%28paranormal%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Magic (paranormal)">Magick</a> that are required by a full moon ritual, need a Witch's total concentration. It is very difficult to maintain a lesser Circle during major Magicks and could be dangerous to the Witch. Once the Circle is cast, kneel before your alter looking up at the moon and say;</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">"Lady Moon bright and serene,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Shining with the bounty of the Mother,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Look down on us your Children of the Earth.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Come, light of the Goddess,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Fill us with your power.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Lend us your blessings,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Let your light surround us.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Impart to us your light and blessing.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Your love and grace, surround us.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Surround us Goddess,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Surround us with your love."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Once the moon's energy has been called down, a Witch must direct the granted energy. Sometimes, there will be no direction but only meditation. The energy is then released with the undoing of the Circle into the environment. A spell or series of spells can also direct or use up the granted energy. A request can also be made of the Goddess. She may then choose to use the energy you have been granted, for the stated purpose.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">"Power blessed to me by the Goddess,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">rise in me for healing,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">to replenish and renew my being.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Power blessed to me by the Goddess,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Surround me with strength.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">By the power of the Goddess,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">So mote it be."</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Keep the request formal if you want. A more personal prayer will also be heard if you choose not to set your request into words. If there are others within the Circle who have taken part in the ritual, have them also make their own request. I have also heard of group requests that work just as well. As with many other strong Magicks or major <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Ritual">rituals</a>, the rite must be closed.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">"Goddess and Spirits,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">You have heard our voices,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">and our Craft has been completed.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Depart with our thanks and our love,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">as we eat these cakes to replenish our bodies,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">and this water which shall cleans our souls.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">By the power of the Goddess and Spirits,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">This Circle is undone but not broken,</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">So mote it be."</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">Variations on calling down the moon and working with the given energy are all over the internet. There is no version that is the 'correct' version. The correct version, is the version that makes you feel good. Don't hesitate to make your own or adapt an existing ritual.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Century Schoolbook; font-size: medium;">In the Shamanistic and Wiccan version that I recently did, the Circle was not formally closed. Instead we worked on a beach and let the sea naturally close and undo the circle. This was according to Shamanistic tradition and I found that it worked very well. I went back the next day and found that the circle was as fully washed away and no residues were left. I have given the ritual closing that we did that night above.</span><br />

The cars will use 50km of public roads and experience “everyday driving conditions”, where their autonomous capabilities – braking, staying in lane, adaptive cruise control and parking – will be put to the test. While the cars are self-driving, their drivers won’t need to do anything, but will be able to interact using smartphones and tablets. READ MORE: We test Volvo's self-driving car The Volvos in question are defined as “Highly Autonomous Cars”, which mean that most driving functions can be carried out automatically. A driver is however expected to be available for occasional control. The Drive Me scheme is being run in partnership with a host of Swedish government departments, and the idea is to demonstrate not only that self-driving cars work but that they’re safer and more fuel efficient than their human-controlled counterparts. Research suggests that 90-95 percent of traffic accidents are the result of human error, and that autonomous driving can cut fuel consumption by up to 50 percent in certain conditions.

But as author Jeremy Clay writes, he was beaten to the stunt by more than a century - by a man who wasn't even trying.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">If he'd stopped to count his blessings, the anxious man moving gingerly along the streets of central London would have found plenty of reasons to be cheerful.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">It was a fine summer's day, for a start. He was strolling through one of the greatest cities on earth. And in an unforgiving age, he had a good job, with a reputable firm.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">As it was, he had more pressing matters on his mind. Chiefly, that he was covered in<strong> bees</strong>. Thousands of them, from his head to his waist, with hundreds more buzzing round his hat.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">It happened on a Saturday morning in July 1885, when, for want of anything better to do, a swarm of bees swooped suddenly upon the unfortunate man as he walked down Regent Street.<span style="font-size: 1.077em;">Startled, no doubt, by this unexpected plot twist in the story of his day, he stayed true to the Victorian stereotype, and tried to continue on his way without needless fuss.</span></p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">In this aim, he was thwarted. "As may be imagined," wrote the London Standard, "this strange sight in the midst of the crowded streets led to his being followed by a crowd numbering many thousands of persons."</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">With one swarm following another - and man and insect united in a passable impression of a stick of candy floss - the singular spectacle moved through the main thoroughfares of the West End, stopping the traffic as it passed by.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">Who knows how long this arrangement might have continued, but eventually a bystander hit on a solution and advised our hero to take off his coat. "Taking the hint, he slipped off the garment," said the Standard. "The host of<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> bees</span> rose en masse, and the man made off as quickly as possible." Followed just as hastily by the thousands of onlookers.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">And the sting in the tale? Surprisingly, there wasn't one, at least not literally. His employers at the cutlery firm Messrs Mappin and Webb wrote a letter to the Standard which concluded: "We are pleased to say that the man is none the worse for this extraordinary visitation.</p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;">SCORCE <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/">BBC NEWS</a></p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;"> </p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; clear: left;"> </p></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">our team search for the very latest news from around the world and money saving offers</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00789004957024606313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875600303966560841.post-71948571600353527912014-03-24T00:55:00.000+00:002014-03-24T00:55:46.933+00:00Malaysia flight MH370: New data 'shows possible debris'<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Arguments raged around which style suited the pop-diva-turned-designer best. Who could forget the Posh Spice bob she accessorised with all those LBDs, the his ‘n hers crops sported as she exchanged vows with today’s birthday boy Becks, and the long ponytail that she swished around the shows at fashion week this season?

NHS 111 advice line 'still fragile'<br />
NHS boss told of 111 line 'concerns'<br />
There were seven "potentially serious" incidents when the new NHS 111 urgent care helpline was launched, the NHS has confirmed.</h3><h3><br />
Earlier the board of NHS England warned organisations running 111 that they must deliver good care - or face financial penalties or lose contracts.<br />
There have been reports of calls going unanswered and poor advice being given."<br />
During that time around 120,000 calls were dealt with. The organisation said it was not unduly concerned about the level of incidents.<br />
A spokesperson said: "We take the responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of our patients extremely seriously.<br />
"When a concern is raised we listen to the call and undertake an incident review involving experienced clinical staff. This allows us to identify clear actions so that lessons can be learnt and acted on quickly and thoroughly."<span class="cross-head" style="background-color: white; color: #505050; display: block; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.231em; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">New system</span>NHS 111 is a free one-stop number for patients with urgent, but not life-threatening symptoms, including those who need fast medical help but who are not a 999 emergency.<br />
Trained advisers who answer the phones offer basic health advice and direct the caller to the most appropriate service for their needs - A&E or GP out-of-hours services, for example<br />
It is designed to replace the NHS Direct advice line, as well as out-of-hours GP call centres, with a more practical service for those needing urgent but not emergency care.<a class="hidden" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22401585#story_continues_2" style="color: #4a7194; font-weight: bold; left: -5000px; position: absolute; text-decoration: none; top: -5000px;">Continue reading the main story</a>“<span style="display: block; margin: 0px 0px 5px; text-indent: -5000px;">Start Quote</span>"It is extremely worrying that there is still so much uncertainty around the delivery and reliability of the advice provided by NHS 111 in some areas. ”<span class="quote-credit" style="clear: both; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 8px;">Dr Clare Gerada</span><span class="quote-credit-title" style="clear: both; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 8px;">Royal College of GPs</span><ul class="links-list" style="border-top-color: rgb(232, 232, 232); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; clear: both; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 7px 0px 0px;"><li style="background-image: none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-rendering: auto;"><a class="quote-link" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22370621" style="color: #174f82; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Q&A: NHS 111</a></li>

<br />
<h3>Alex Wilson-Fletcher, 42, of Oldham Street, Manchester, and Abdelkader El-Janabi, 55, of Artillery Court, Ardwick, attacked the boy in Debenhams on Manchester's Market Street in June.<br />
The men approached the boy in the nearby Arndale Centre before leading him to the Debenhams store.</h3><div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;"></div><h3>They were convicted at Manchester Crown Court and will be sentenced on 6 June.<br />
In court, the boy said the pair had approached him in the toilets of the Arndale Centre on 2 June and El-Janabi had grabbed his arm and told him to follow him.<br />
He said El-Janabi had then led him out of the shopping centre and across the road to the Debenhams store, where he walked him to the third floor toilets, followed by Wilson-Fletcher.</h3><h3>Once inside, El-Janabi and Wilson-Fletcher both touched him before El-Janabi raped him.<br />
He managed to escape the pair and fled the toilets, doing up his trousers as he ran, and reported the incident to police later that night.</h3><br />

<h3>In defence, Wilson-Fletcher said he had been in both the Arndale and Debenhams toilets at the time of the incident, but had not seen or done anything, while El-Janabi denied being at the scene at all.<br />
CCTV placed both men in the shopping centre and the department store and also captured the moment the boy ran from the toilets after the rape had taken place.<br />
