A Woman’s World

PRECOCIOUS KIDS! (On the way to a play date) Driving along the road a little girl starts asking her Mum a number of questions. "Mummy," the little girl asks, "how old are you?" "Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age," the mother warns. “It is not polite." "OK," the little girl says, "How much do you weigh?" "Now really," the mother says, "these are personal questions and are really none of your business."

Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and daddy get a divorce?" "Those are enough questions, honestly!" The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play. "My Mum wouldn't tell me anything," the little girl says to her friend. “Well," said the friend, "all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It's like a report card; it has everything on it." Later that night the little girl says to her mother, "I know how old you are, you are 37." The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that out?" "I also know that you weigh 140 pounds." The

mother is past surprise and shock now. "How in heavens name did you find that out?"

“And," the little girl says triumphantly, "I know why you and daddy got a divorce." "Oh really?" the mother asks. "Why?" "Because you got an F in sex."

FUNNY VIEWS ON PARENTING...

Parenting is mostly just informing kids how many more minutes they have of something.

Being home with kids all day is just the loneliest never-alone thing. Like living in a cave filled with malfunctioning Teddy Ruxpins.

My 7-year-old daughter asked me twice today "what poison would kill someone the fastest?" and now I'm wondering if I've underestimated her.

I’M A CELEBRITY 2019...

RUMOURED LINE-UP SO FAR: The popular show will return later in

the year! Since it first hit our TV screens way back in 2002, the show, which is fronted

by Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, has been a massive hit with viewers.

Former football manager Harry Redknapp stole the hearts of the nation last year. Rumoured for this year are as follows: Summer Monteys-Fullam (the former girlfriend of Paul Hollywood), Alan Halsall (Coronation Street actor), Myles Stephenson (former X-Factor Winner), Stacey Dooley (winner Strictly Come Dancing in 2018), Kym Marsh (former Coronation Street actress), Katya Jones (famous for THAT kiss with comedian Seann Walsh & being a dancer on Strictly Come Dancing!) Eyal Booker (Love Island 2017 hunk), John Terry (former England & Chelsea footballer), Frankie Bridge (member of girl group The Saturdays), Lucy Fallon (Coronation Street actress), Dani Dyer (Love Island star 2018), Danny Dyer (As well as Dani, her dad, EastEnders actor Danny Dyer is also tipped to appear on the show). Olivia Attwood (Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has confirmed she's 'in talks' with I'm A Celebrity bosses for the 2019 series), Rahul Mandal (he won The Great British Bake Off in 2018, so it's no surprise ITV bosses are keen to get Rahul on the show), Kate Garraway (Good Morning Britain presenter), Georgia Steel (from Love Island & Celebs Go Dating), Gemma Collins again! (From TOWIE), Duncan James (Blue singer and former Hollyoaks star), Richard Madeley (This Morning ex presenter), James Locke (from TOWIE)... Despite the rumours, ITV are yet to officially confirm any names for the 2019 line-up. Although, we have to say, the one above would be amazing!

I'm A Celebrity will return to ITV later in the year.......

THE X FACTOR.... CELEBRITY: Star-studded line-up is teased in new

video. The brainchild of Simon Cowell, this remix of the original format sees 15 famous faces take to the stage who aren't usually recognised for their singing talents. Watching the video we think some of the stars are Gemma Collins and Megan McKenna from TOWIE. Brendan Cole former Strictly dancer… An unnamed footballing legend and actor later strolls out from his car, who we think is Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' very own Vinnie Jones. The Chase's Jenny Ryan to name but a few… Watch the video and see who you can spot! The X Factor: Celebrity will debut on ITV this month.

GAVIN & STACEY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL... Fans can’t wait for the

Christmas special! Larry Lamb said on Lorraine last month... "There are some scenes in that, let me tell you! It's gonna be rocking Christmas night." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... there's millions of people out there not gonna be disappointed. The Show returns to the BBC for the one-off special on Christmas Day. Lush, we can’t wait!

RYAN REYNOLDS NEW CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE... After last year's festive Once Upon a Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds is going the whole hog and remaking the most classic of Christmas stories. He is set to star in yet another version of A Christmas Carol. His latest adaptation of the Charles Dickens story is set to be a "musical reimagining" from the people behind Daddy's Home and Reynolds will be starring alongside Will Ferrell, who previously featured in what many consider to be the best Christmas movie, Elf. This will be the latest in a long line of versions of A Christmas Carol that have been made over the years.

THE RISE AND FALL OF 5 CLAIMED MEDIUMS In the late 19th and early 20th century, spiritualism was all the rage. People turned to mediums and séances for spiritual guidance. The religious movement had such a pull that even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a believer....

1. THE FOX SISTERS... In late March of 1848, Margaret Fox, a farmer’s wife living in Hydesville, New York, with her daughters, began to hear noises. People became convinced they were mediums, with the ability to communicate with the other side. Soon their older sister, Leah Fox Fish, got involved.

Hearing of the girls’ otherworldly “powers,” the eldest sister saw dollar signs and promptly booked sessions for people looking to communicate with the dead. The façade went on for decades, until 1888 when Maggie finally spoke up. After her husband had died, she was left penniless and alone, and had turned to drinking. She wrote a letter to the New York World confessing her and her sister’s trickery.

2. THE DAVENPORT BROTHERS... The Fox sisters didn't stop a slew of copy-cats and spin-off performers. In 1855, 16-year-old Ira and 14-year-old William Davenport got on stage for the first time. With the help of their spirit guide, a ghost named Johnny King, they performed a number of elaborate tricks that went past simple rappings; often bells, cabinets, ropes, and floating instruments. Members of the audience would swear they saw instruments fly over their heads, or feel ghostly hands on their shoulders. The brothers were heralded as true mediums and enjoyed fame for the rest of their careers. He was not heard from again until magician Harry Houdini sought him out years later.

The two became friends and Ira let him in on a few of his tricks!

THE RISE AND FALL OF 5 CLAIMED MEDIUMS

3. EVA CARRIÈRE... Now armed with the secrets of the Davenport Brothers, as well as his own experiences as a medium in his younger days, Houdini set out to expose fraudulent mediums throughout the 1920s.

One such so called fraudster was Eva Carrière. As detailed in Houdini’s book, A Magician Among the Spirits, Carrière was a medium known for her ability to produce a mysterious substance called ectoplasm from a number of orifices. After some time, she would conjure up ectoplasm from her mouth. Although Houdini called Carrière a fraud she still seemed to hold many in her trance. A researcher named Albert von Schrenck-Notzing spent several years from 1909 to 1913 working with her, and by the end, he was completely convinced. He published his findings and

photographs in his book Phenomena of Materialisation.

4. ANN O’DELIA DISS DEBAR... Ann O’Delia Diss Debar had gone through many monikers and identities in her lifetime, but according to Houdini she started life as Editha Salomen. She was extremely successful in her con artistry and managed to cheat Baltimore’s wealthiest out of a quarter million dollar.

After a quick stint at an insane asylum for trying to kill a doctor, Salomen took up hypnotism. She also created spirit paintings, which, through sleight of hand, seemed to appear out of nowhere on blank canvases, as if the spirits painted them.

She traveled between London and America for years, going in and out of prison, before finally disappearing for good in 1909

THE RISE AND FALL OF 5 CLAIMED MEDIUMS

5. MINA CRANDON... In the 1920s, Mina Crandon (also known as Margery, or the Blonde Witch of Lime Street) was one of the most well-known and controversial mediums of her time. Margery would conjure the ghost of her brother Walter. The medium his spirit, who would then rap out messages, tip over tables, and yell at the participants. Often ectoplasm would ooze from her ears, nose, mouth, and dress.

In 1923, Harry Houdini joined a panel of scientists formed by The Scientific American to find a true medium. The prize for convincing them was $5000. The panel was quite convinced with Margery and was gearing up to give her the money for her legitimacy. The panel was quite convinced with Margery and was gearing up to give her the money for her legitimacy. Houdini wanted to take a look at the medium for himself, and in 1924, headed to Boston. When the séance began, Houdini sat next to Margery with their hands joined and feet and legs touching. Earlier that day, the skeptic had worn a bandage around his knee all day, making it extremely sensitive to the touch. The heightened sensi-

22

tivity helped him feel Margery move as she used her feet to grab various props during the act. After figuring out the scheme, Houdini was convinced of the fraud and wanted to go public.

Houdini decided she was a fake and humiliated her by not giving out the prize money.

Margery made a prediction in 1926. “Houdini will be gone by Halloween,” Walter declared.

Coincident ally, Houdini did die that October 31st from peritonitis.

GOOD OLD WALLY...

AT 85 YEARS OF AGE, WALLY MARRIED ANNE, A LOVELY 25 YEAR OLD...

Since her new husband was so old, Anne decided that after their wedding she and Wally should have separate bedrooms, because she was concerned that her new but aged husband may over exert himself if they spend the entire night together.

After the wedding festivities Anne prepares herself for bed and waited to receive the 'knock' on the door.Sure enough sometime later bang, bang, bang on the door‌ Anne opens the door and there is Wally, her 85-year-old groom, ready for action.

Well, things evolve and Wally has his way with young Anne...

Wally takes leave of his bride, and she prepares to go to sleep. After a few minutes, Anne hears another knock on her bedroom door, and it's Wally. Again he is ready for more 'action.' Somewhat surprised, Anne and Wally hook up again when the newlyweds are done, Wally kisses his bride, bids her a fond goodnight and leaves.

She is set to go to sleep again, but, aha you guessed it...

Wally is back again, rapping on the door, and is as fresh as a 25year-old, ready for more 'action.' And, once again they enjoy each other.

But as Wally gets set to leave again, his young bride says to him, 'I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often.

I have been with guys less than a third of your age who were only good once.

You are truly a great lover, Wally.' Wally, somewhat embarrassed, turns to Anne and says:....... 'You mean I've been here already?'

Don't be afraid of getting old, senior's moments have their advantages.

TYLER’S TINY PROBLEM...

TYLER LIVED IN TEXAS HE WAS SHALL WE SAY VERTICALLY CHALLENGED… HE WAS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING TO HIS BUDDY JETT THAT HIS TESTICLES ACHED ALMOST ALL THE TIME! Tyler was always complaining about his problem, HAVING HAD ENOUGH OF THE WHINGING Jett finally suggested that he go to see a doctor to relieve the problem....

Tyler took his advice and went to the doctor he explained to the Doc what was wrong.

The doctor told him to drop his pants and he would have a look. Tyler dropped his pants.

The doctor put him up onto the examining table, and started to examine him. The doc put one finger under his left testicle and told Tyler to turn his head and cough-the usual method to check for a hernia. "Aha!" the doc and putting his finger under the right testicle, he asked Tyler to cough again. "Aha!" said the doctor and reached for his surgical scissors. Snip, snip, snip, snip on the right side then snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip on the left side.

Tyler was so scared he was afraid to look, but noted with amazement that the snipping did not hurt. The doctor then told Tyler to get dressed and see if they still ached.

Tyler was absolutely delighted as he walked around the doc's office and discovered his testicles were no longer aching.

"Gee, what did you do, Doc?" he asked.

The doc replied....

"I cut two inches off the tops of your cowboy boots."

A Man’s World

FUNNY TIPS FOR US FELLOWS...

10 THINGS YOU ONLY DO WHEN DRUNK...

CONTINUED FROM LAST MONTH...

5) SPILL YOUR DRINK: A lot of the alcohol you buy probably ends up on the sticky floor of a club, bar or pub although you don’t notice much.

6) RINg OR TExT AN Ex: There should be an app that stops you ringing certain numbers at certain times. A picture of yourself looking very stern and a personal warning should come up that makes you wait ten minutes before it lets you dial. It's terrible to wake up and read a text you've sent, pick apart every word, it's worse when you made a phone call and can't quite piece together exactly what was said.

7) DANCE: In your minds eye you are John Travolta! in the center of the dance floor, white suit, hairy chest and gold medallion. In reality you look like Peter griffin being tasered. Men don't really want to dance; they go there because the girls are there.

8) PRACTICE MARTIAL ARTS: This leads from danc-

44

ing, In order to make it a bit more masculine while dancing with your mates waiting for girls to join you, you’ll more than likely practice your best kung fu moves with a Matrix style bend over backwards thrown in for good measure.

9) THINK YOU'LL bE FINE FOR wORK: It’ll be right' you keep telling yourself. In at 9, up for 8, quick shower and then jump on the bus. If only it was that simple. As you get older, hangovers get harder and harder to handle.

10) SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY: Swipe your smartwatch over the card reader, EASY! Cab instead of a ten minute walk? Six pieces of chicken instead of two? You tell yourself that in the morning you'll understand and accept why you spent your mum's Christmas present money on a lapdance. bars, clubs, takeaways and casinos don't come cheap. It takes a brave man to peer into his wallet the next morning but it's stupid one who thinks he'll still find crisp 50€ notes inside rather than cash machine receipts.

MEDICAL MAYHEM MEDICAL STORIES TO MAKE THE MIND BOGGLE…

Beware of Your Doctor Uttering These Phrases During Surgery • Damn! Page 47 of the manual is missing!

• Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.

• Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?

• Oh no! I just lost my Rolex.

• Anyone see where I left that scalpel?

• During a patient’s two-week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. “Which one? ” I asked. “The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I’m running out of places to put it!” I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn’t see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one. Dr. Rebecca St. Clair .

• A suspected car thief was tracked down by police after he left his false teeth at the crime scene. Police say Wojtek Lekowsky, 54, broke into a car in Czarna Dabrowka in northwest Poland and stole a stereo, but lost his teeth when he tried to make a quick getaway after the car alarm went off. He was tracked down using dental records and police charged him with robbery. Police spokesman Roman Krakowiak reported, 'He tried to tell us that while the false teeth were his, they had been stolen from him. He had not been anywhere near the car at the time of the theft, but we knew he was lying through his dentures.'

13 TOP SUPERFOODS TRENDING IN 2019

DO KALE AND qUINOA FEEL LIKE LAST YEAR’S FADS? Then it’s likely time for some new superfoods to find the spotlight. The healthy foods considered trendy change every few years, and these fads determine what winds up on store shelves (and in your smoothie)! If you’re curious which superfoods are going to catch attention in 2019, we’ve predicted some of the superfoods that are going to become trendy this year. top of popcorn or roasted vegetables, and your body will appreciate the benefits.

5) CHAgA MUSHROOM COFFEE

1) SUMAC

Though most people only know this plant for its bright red buds. Sumac is a common spice in the Middle East, and it’s gaining attention these days for its sky-high antioxidant levels 176 times more concentrated than kale! Sprinkling a teaspoon of ground sumac on your rice, lentil, and pasta dishes adds a subtle citrus scent that will bring out the meal’s flavor profile.

2) HEMP

No longer considered only in the context of cannabis, the hemp plant is increasingly being appreciated as a stellar source of protein. Hemp ‘hearts’ are the shelled seeds of industrial hemp plants, and they have an optimal ratio of 3:1 omega6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which is why this superfood is known to fight full-body inflammation and help you build stronger bones and muscles.

You’ll also get eight grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber per serving. To put this nutty, crunchy superfood to use, keep a bag of hemp hearts in your fridge to add to salads, stir-fries, 48

and even oatmeal.

3) TIgER NUTS

Despite the name, tiger nuts aren’t true nuts, but instead are tubers known for their coconutty taste and for containing impressive amounts of insoluble fiber. The ‘nuts’ are also a stellar source of two enzymes (amylases and lipases) that aid digestion and they’re rich in the same healthy fats frequently found in avocados and olive oil. You can munch on them right out of the bag, add them to your morning smoothie, or buy them ground as flour to enhance the nutritional profile of your favorite baking recipes.

4) SEAwEED

Land-based plants no longer have the full spotlight, as we predict seaweed will make strides this year as a superfood. Each serving is rich in vitamin A and C, as well as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iodine. This makes it a smart snack option for regulating your mood and energy levels and for keeping your thyroid functioning as normal. Sprinkle this zesty treat in your soup, grain bowls, or on

If you haven’t heard of mushroom coffee yet, 2019 is the year you’ll likely be introduced. Chaga mushrooms have been known as “black gold” for decades, thanks to their impressive health properties. A serving provides you with stellar levels of b vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and plenty of antioxidants. When blended with coffee beans, the brew will enhance your mental clarity and focus with far less caffeine than found in regular cups.

6) CHIA SEEDS

While they have been trending in popularity for a long time, chia seeds still deserve a spot on this list. They are famous for containing more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, and they have long been used by athletes to rehydrate in the middle of a workout. The seeds will absorb up to 27 times their weight in water, which makes them a filling source of plantbased protein that isn’t high on calories. Add a teaspoon to your drink or blend them into smoothies; your body will stay much fuller and more satiated.

WHAT’S AN UNHEALTHY GUT? HOW GUT HEALTH AFFECTS YOU…

CONTINUED FROM LAST MONTH... The gut microbiome: The incredible complexity of the gut and its importance to our overall health is a topic of increasing research in the medical community. Numerous studies in the past two decades have demonstrated links between gut health and the immune system, mood, mental health, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and cancer. Our digestive system was used to be considered a relatively “simple” body system, comprised essentially of one long tube for our food to pass through, be absorbed, and then excreted. The term “gut microbiome” refers specifically to the microorganisms living in your intestines. A person has about 300 to 500 different species of bacteria in their digestive tract. While some microorganisms are harmful to our health, many are incredibly beneficial and even necessary to a healthy body. Having a wide variety of these good bacteria in your gut can enhance your immune system function, improve symptoms of depression, help combat obesity, and provide numerous other benefits...

This very gentle procedure allows placement of implants without the need for building new bone in most cases.

If bone augmentation is required this can be done in almost all cases WITHOUT CUTTING THE GUMS.

Upon their return a member of the Clinica Medicare team will call / message you to arrange a convenient time for you to come in for your results appointment (which is included in the price). This appointment will last between 20-30 minutes and gives the Practice Nurse the opportunity to go through your results with you, discuss any issues identified, discuss any treatment plan and discuss any referral that may be required (to a Specialist for example).

So what is a “General” Health MOT? The initial appointment with our Practice Nurse will last between 1 to 2 hours and during this time she will start by going through your medical history, current medications (if applicable), current concerns, lifestyle, diet, etc. Once this has been completed a number of tests will be carried out as part of the appointment, to include: The “General” Health MOT is a general overview of a person´s health and does not o A Full Blood Count Blood Test, “FBC” include any specific tests for Cancer (other o Cholesterol Blood Test, “Total / LDL / HDL” than those mentioned).

A TERRIFYING STAY IN MEXICO...

If you’re a fan of Guillermo del Toro’s most memorable movie monsters, you’re in luck, because a hotel suite dedicated to them all is now bookable on Hotels.Com. The Monster Suite, inspired by del Toro’s En Casa Con Mis Monstruos exhibit at the Museo de las Artes in Guadalajara, Mexico, is available for three nights only and is located on actual museum

spend a night in the creepy suite, you’ll also have a chance to go on a pretty exclusive nocturnal tour of the whole exhibition, which impressively features more than 900 installations from the celebrated director’s films, comics and personal collection.

The room includes original props and installations from del Toro’s movies. Del Toro, who is best known for fantasy films such a The Shape of Water (2017) and Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) has won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.

In the suite, guests will find several memorable beasts from the Mexican director’s films including a life-size aquatic beast, a horrifying porcelain doll (by the looks of it, she deserves a special place in hell) and some hands trying to claw their way through the wall. There’s also a possessed clock, severed hand in a jar and several Satanic motifs to look forward to, too. No wonder the listing describes the space as grounds. For those brave enough to ‘dark’ and ‘illusive’. Spooky.

FRANKFURT 2019 MOTOR SHOW

Last month’s Frankfurt Motor Show was one of the biggest international shows on the car industry calendar, we look of some of the highlights.

Cupra’s Tavascan Concept, shows the brand moving away from parent company Seat. It has an illuminated Cupra logo mounted low, below the blanked-out ‘grille’, a separate badge spells out ‘Cupra’ in a vent linked to the headlights and a full-width rear light bar is intersected by the logo. The electric powertrain produces 302bhp, enabling 0-100 kph in under 6.5 seconds and a range of 450 kilometres is claimed.

The new Sian is Lamborghini’s first hybrid vehicle. A rebodied and re-tuned version of the Aventador, its also the most powerful they ever built with a 0-100kph time of less than 2.8 seconds Production is limited to just 63 units, and all of them have been sold.

The new Land Rover Defender has finally arrived, with new tech, advanced off-road ability and a starting price around 40.000€. The chassis is 95 per cent new, and is the stiffest body structure Land Rover has ever produced.

Initially released in long-wheelbase “110” trim, with 5 doors and the choice of 5, 6 or 7seats. A short wheelbase, 3 door “90” will follow by the end of the year, with commercial editions of both in 2020.

The Audi AI: Trail Quattro Concept, combines serious off-road capabilities with autonomous functions. The huge (4.15m x 2.15m) futuristic, buggy-style four-door vehicle has four electric motors and all-wheel drive and a range between 400 to 500 kilometers on roads or “easy off-road terrain” or 250 km for serious off-roading per charge.

60

The BMW Concept 4 dazzled show goers with its radical design, sleek silhouette and mesmerising front end. Building a concept car for an existing model is a new move from BMW who want to demonstrate how it plans to distance the next 4 Series due out next year from the 3 Series saloon.

Capricorn, Jupiter has spent nearly a year in the area of your chart connected with your career or public persona and during this time any efforts you have made to get ahead should have resulted in considerable progress, with recognition or promotion. Now the New Moon eclipses the Sun here and you have a chance to capitalise on all that effort, to show the world a new you, or take an entirely new direction with your career or objectives. For the last two months, however, Mars has been chipping away at your self discipline, trying to get you to take time out to enjoy yourself or to give free rein to your creativity. But now, as Mars goes retrograde for a few weeks, you should be able to put the urge to have fun on the back burner and concentrate on your career and reputation at this very important time.

Aquarius, while Mars has been in Taurus, your home and family will have been claiming much of your energy, time and attention and there would have been a certain amount of tension in the home if anyone tried to oppose your plans! Now, however, Mars turns retrograde and your plans suffer a slow down which will be to your advantage in the long term. Meanwhile, and more importantly, the New Moon eclipses the Sun in Libra on the 3rd and you have the opportunity to make a new beginning where travel, education or even legal matters are concerned. This continues the influence of Jupiter here during the past year, which has been giving you opportunities to widen your horizons in some way, perhaps by learning more about the world, its people and its languages. Should you pass up this chance?

Picses, Jupiter has been in the area of your chart connected with jointly owned property or shared resources for the past year, bringing you opportunities for expansion in this respect. Now the New Moon eclipses the Sun here and heralds new beginnings where such matters are concerned. This could be a wonderful chance to restructure your joint budget or to benefit in some way from your shared property. In any case, you have three more weeks to make up your mind before Jupiter moves on into Scorpio. But can it be just co-incidence that the Full Moon on the 17th occurs in Aries, the area of your chart connected with your personal income and property and indicating, finally, that there can be a resolution to your financial dilemma?

Aries, this is likely to be a highly significant month for you! First of all, your time and attention lately has been on your finances or matters to do with your personal property. Now, as Mars assumes retrograde motion in this area of your chart, you can expect a slow down of your plans. Perhaps you are inclined to back pedal a little, which is no bad thing, particularly as, with the New Moon eclipsing the Sun in Libra, you have an opportunity to make a new beginning where partnerships are concerned. And since Jupiter spends a last three weeks also in Libra, before moving on into Scorpio, never has there been a greater chance for you to make your closest relationships all you want and need them to be.

Taurus, as Mars turns retrograde in your sign expect some hold ups or delays in your current projects. You have probably been very busy lately and now you may feel a little frazzled as a result. But with the New Moon eclipsing the Sun in Libra, it is work or health matters that occupy most of your attention. You now have a chance to make a new beginning where the work scene is concerned and also in matters to do with your health or diet. And with Jupiter nearing the end of its journey through Libra, if you haven’t yet taken advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves to you over the past year, where either your job or your health is concerned, then it is time that you did!

Gemini, Mars has spent the last two months in the area of your chart connected with self-sacrifice, and you may have been giving much of your time to helping others less fortunate than yourself. Or you may have been putting much energy into a project that has yet to be unveiled. Now, with Mars retrograde, there is a slow down in your plans or less demand for your time from others. But in the meantime, the New Moon eclipses the Sun in Libra, where Jupiter has been providing you with opportunities to grow and develop creatively. Now you have the chance for a new beginning in any creative venture, even for trying something new that gives you pleasure, which could range from games of any sort to romance.

Cancer, Mars in Taurus has been pushing you towards working with others and encouraging you to spend time on your long term objectives. If you have been able to find like minded people with whom to work, then progress will have been made, but now, as Mars turns retrograde, you can expect a slowing down of your plans here. In the meantime, however, the New Moon on the 3rd of October, which eclipses the Sun in the area of your chart connected with home and family, heralds important new beginnings for you in this respect. While Jupiter has spent the last year in Libra, you have had many opportunities for growth or expansion in your home or family life. Since Jupiter moves on later this October, why not reach out now and take that step forward?

Leo, while Mars has been in the area of your chart connected with your career and your public persona, you have been at your most ambitious, although working in harmony with colleagues will have needed some effort on your part. Now that Mars turns retrograde you relax a little and are less competitive and easier to get along with. Meanwhile, the New Moon on Monday, which eclipses the Sun in Libra, suggests that those opportunities that you have been experiencing throughout the last year regarding a change of location, or getting to grips with new ways of communicating, even learning new skills, are again being dangled in front of your nose!

Jupiter only spends another three weeks in this area of your chart and the New Moon suggests new beginnings – so why not?

Virgo, while Mars has been in Taurus, a lot of your time and energy has no doubt revolved around foreign matters, whether with travel or people, or perhaps in legal business too. And now, with Mars retrograde, you will need all your patience, as there may be a slowing down, or delays in your plans. But in the meantime, the New Moon, which eclipses the Sun in the area of your chart connected with your finances, allows you to make new beginnings where income or property is concerned. Jupiter is about to move on from here, having been presenting you with opportunities to improve either your income or your property during the past year.

Now is the time to make that new start – will you take the opportunity to do so?

Libra, the New Moon eclipses the Sun in your sign on the 3rd, and emphasises and reiterates what Jupiter has been offering you for the past year. You have a chance for a new beginning, an opportunity to change your attitude or your life in a big and advantageous way.

Later in the month, the emphasis moves to your income and possessions, where you are inclined to be generous and even extravagant. But with Mars in Taurus, it seems you are prepared to fight for what you feel is rightfully yours where jointly owned property or shared resources are concerned. With Mars retrograde until early December, however, you may be persuaded to settle for less than you hoped for.

Scorpio, while Mars, the co-ruler of your sign, remains in Taurus, there are signs of tension with partners or in your closest relationships. If you have a very good and strong relationship, however, much can be accomplished between you at this time. But now, with Mars in retrograde motion until early December, work on your joint projects slows down a little. And where tension between you is concerned, you are inclined to back off somewhat from your position of non-compromise, thus improving matters between you. In the meantime, the New Moon eclipses the Sun in the area of your chart connected with hidden matters and selfless love and you may now make a fresh beginning in this direction. A whole new phase of personal growth and self development that could set you on the right path for the next twelve years!

Sagittarius, while Mars remains in Taurus you are likely to have been suffering from some tension, either in the workplace or where your health and fitness is concerned. No doubt you have been working hard in either or both of these areas, but have also experienced some frustration whilst doing so. With Mars now retrograde in this area of your chart, whilst you continue to put in the effort, the tension should ease up slightly. Meanwhile, the New Moon eclipses the Sun in Libra and you have a wonderful opportunity to review and re-evaluate your long term goals and to find a group of like minded people to help you work towards them. Jupiter, your ruler, spends a last few weeks here so don’t miss your chance to find new friends and acquaintances who will join you in achieving your ideals.

Safety film - Report A company trying to continue its five year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job.

According to the Health and Safety Council News, the film's depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.

What happened to the cannibal who showed up late to Halloween dinner?

They gave him the cold shoulder.

Checking the Gas Meters A senior gas engineer was training a young gas fitter. They parked their van at the end of the street and worked their way to the other end. At the last house, a woman looking out her window and observed them as they read her meter. Once they had taken the readings, the supervisor said, "I bet I can race you back to the van!"

"You're on!" his trainee said.

They took off running.

Just as the supervisor edged out infront of the trainee, he saw a woman coming up fast on his outside. The supervisor turned around to face her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see the men from the gas company running as fast as you were, I figured I'd better run too!"

What happened to the man who got behind on payments to his exorcist? He got repossessed.

A nun gets into a cab and notices that the driver can't stop staring at her. So she asks him why is he staring and he answers, "I have a question I need to ask you but I don't want to offend you."

The nun replies, "My dear son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you have had a chance to see and hear just about everything.

I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."The cab driver hesitates for a moment and then says, "Well it's like this; I've always had a fantasy to have a nun perform oral sex on me." The nun replies, "Ok well, let's see what we can do about that, shall we. There are two conditions though - firstly you have to be single and secondly you must be Catholic." The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, yes! I am single and I'm Catholic too!" The nun then says, "Ok then, pull into the next alley."The cab driver does so and the nun duly goes ahead and fulfills his fantasy. They get back on the road and start driving again, but the cab driver soon starts to cry. The nun sees this and asks him, "My dear child, pray tell, why are you crying?" The cab driver says, "You must forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I lied to you I must confess that I'm married and I'm also Jewish."The nun laughs and says, "That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm on my way to a Halloween party."
