Housing in our cities are in a state of crisis. With an ever greater proportion of people's incomes going toward their housing, many people today are experiencing either severe mortgage or rental stress. The little known model of rental housing co-operatives offers a democratic alternative to traditional private and public sector housing. This is the story of one such co-operative: the SouthEast Housing Co-operative.

I am Raymond, a resident of Nigeria. Today I am grateful to Forerunners Healthcare who helped my motherâÂÂs Cardiac Pacemaker Implant in Mumbai. Around six month ago my mother was admitted for severe chest pain and doctor told that it was a mild heart attack. The doctors suggested that I should take her to India for Cardiac Pacemaker Implant.

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- Interview with Christine Saurel of Domaine Montirius vineyards.
Domaine Montirius is located in the southern Rhone valley, in Gigondas and in Vacqueyras. The winery is owned and run by Christine and Eric Saurel, a young couple who have moved the vineyards to biodynamic culture. It is 58 hectares of vineyard in appellation controllee Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Cotes du Rhone, and some Vin de Pays. Eric and Christine have a fascinating story to tell - moving from traditional farming to organic to biodynamic; choosing to leave a long time relationship with the cooperative and start out as an independent winegrower.
Christine tells the story of how Montirius came to work with first organic farming and then the biodynamic principles (based on Rudolf Steiner's theories). She explains some of the things it means: how you do it what kind of treatments you do, what difference it makes etc.

RATBY BAND JOIN THE AMBASSADOR'S
Geoff Newman took hold of the baton for the latest Ambassador's Band tour arranged by Phil Plant and Stan
Hearne.
A week in the Spanish sun, in a cracking hotel, eating superb food, lounging by the two hotel swimming pools, in great company..what more could you ask for?
The locals seemed to enjoy the playing, both in the hotel and in the church square in Calella, as they thoughtfully provided benches to enable many to sit in the sun and to be entertained for a while, not a glum face anywhere.
The players this year were made up of Ratby Co-operative Band players from Senior, Mid & Youth Sections, Leicestershire Co-op, Cubbington Silver, Burbage Elland Silver and Unity Brass Bands - and the mix must have been a good one, because many of' us have already booked to go back next May.
