WitchCakes are fun and easy to make. We recommend applying a chocolate candy batter matched with a white topping such as cream cheese or buttercream colored green or light purple.
When you are hosting a family Halloween party, in your invitation, leave the ending time changeable to adapt your guests.

Hold in mind that people who are taking their tikes will need to know when the childrens’ activities will come about so they will be there for this fun component and then they may ask to leave for another celebration or because somebody is tired.

Other guests, especially those without kids, may omit the kids’ fete entirely, and enjoy getting in late and staying even later. Keep this in mind when you set up the time frame for your celebration.

Caro’s Favorites

Mike Caro on Favorites. Tip number one. A good winning poker player should make the game fun for his opponents. Ponder and roll this one around in your head. If I’m nice to you when you enter a pot with me, and I’m still nice after I take your money and tell you, “Aw man, you almost had me,” with sincerity, wouldn’t you be more likely to try to get me the next time with a weaker poker hand. As compared to this: You joker, you called me with a 2 outer, really, hahahahaha, you should just leave now. It’s obvious that by making it fun and seemingly a gamble for a weaker player, you’re going to get that player to enter more pots with you with weaker hands, and will pay off in the long run. This is the wisdom of Caro and thus one of his favorite tips. Next is playing against bullies. One who raises more than is mathematically possible to have a good hand. Caro’s favorite strategy: call them more often than you bet into them and suck out on them. Sure it sounds fish like and calling station-y, but it’s a profitable strategy against the bully simply because you’re exploiting his lack of knowledge of the maths of the game. Finally, picking a seat. Let the loose poker” players and the aggressive good players sit to the right, and the tight players sit to the left. This way, you get to see the action of the loose and good, and exploit the tight from your position.

Workplace Safety from Falls is Vital, Says HSE

Employers are responsible for the safety of their workers at the workplace, more so if the jobs involve working at heights. This was reiterated recently when HSE prosecuted farm employer Francis Caley for negligence related to workplace safety.

Caley was charged with the breach of section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974 and was imposed with a fine of £8,000. He was also made to pay £1,858 as costs at Hull and Holderness Magistrates Court.

The case relates to an incident where one of Caley’s employees was seriously injured after he fell down from the roof of a farm building. The incident happened on May 13, 2008 when his employee Charles Leslie Nendick was carrying out repairs at a farm building. As he tried to step onto the roof from a ladder, the fragile roof could not bear his weight and he fell through it from a height of nearly five metres. Nendick wounded his head and suffered fractures on his pelvis, spine and hip. The court ruled that Caley should have taken proper precautions to prevent such an accident from happening.

Alan Sheldon, HSE Inspector, said in this context that working on roofs has always been a hazardous task. As many as 70 people have died due to falls over a period of ten years, and about half of these cases had been related to falls through fragile surfaces. The Working at Height Courses are aimed at enabling those responsible for such work, such as health and safety managers, facilities managers and safety supervisors, to undertake a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. He added that HSE also has specific guidelines for the agriculture industry in this respect, and noted that Nendick’s accident could have been avoided if adequate precautions had been taken by his employer.
