Celebrated by Hindus all over the world including Malaysia, Deepavali is a festival of good triumphing over evil. We visit Kortumalai... At the Temple of Fine Arts In the spirit of Deepavali, we celebrate the festival of lights by shining a spotlight on the Temple of Fine Arts, and its efforts towards the promotion of awareness and appreciation for Indian fine arts in Malaysia. In India, temples are sanctuaries and strongholds of art and culture; musicians would practise and perform music in temples to please deities and devotees. In Malaysia, at the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA), dance and music are today connected more to a cultural – or secular – context, while not absolutely alienated from spiritual emancipation and sentiment of devotion. It was in 1981 that His Holiness Swami Shantanand Saraswathi – with the help of two extraordinary dancing duos, Gopal and Radha Shetty and V. K. and Vatsala Sivadas – founded TFA to promote awareness and appreciation for Indian fine arts, especially dance and music, as a link between the past and the present. His aim was to make arts accessible to all, for Malaysian Indian youths to rediscover the cultural wealth of their forefathers while ensuring its relevance for the generations to come. The Temple Fine Arts in Brickfields is a five-storey building housing dance studios and music rooms, a performance hall, library and more. Today, TFA sits in the centre of the crescent-shaped Jalan Berhala in Brickfields, facing the Buddhist Maha Vihara and within walking distance to YMCA KL. The five-storey building houses dance studios and music rooms with air-conditioning, sprung floors and wall-to-wall mirrors; a 600-seater performance hall, the Shantanand Auditorium; and a library stocked with books, reading materials and research papers apt to the subjects taught at TFA. Also at TFA is Lavanya Arts, a treasure trove of Indian artefacts and handicrafts; think Kalamkari paintings, Kanchipuram weaves, and Tanjore art to terracotta figurines. A team of doctors, including gynaecologists, paediatricians and ophthalmologists, volunteer at Klinik Derma Sivasanta at TFA, a free clinic offering general healthcare. Kumar Karthigesu, TFA’s music director, with his sitar. The Temple has dance and music classes for students, parents and patrons of all ages from all walks of life – from bharatanatyam to Bollywood, and kathak to kuchipudi, as well as carnatic vocal classes and instruments such as flute, mridangam, tabla, sitar, and veena. The sitar, a traditional stringed instrument. “For Indians who have migrated to Malaysia, who are now third-generation Indians here in Malaysia, while they identify as Malaysian first and Indian second, the Indian arts – traditional arts, especially – and culture is still very important to many Indian families,” says Kumar Karthigesu, the music director at TFA. “It is important to Indian parents that their sons or daughters learn dance and music, literature and language, at least to a reasonable level. It is primarily why institutions like the Temple thrive.” Kumar (right) teaching a sitar class. “We do our bit to promote Indian culture as part of the greater Malaysian culture,” he says. “Indian culture is an inheritance of Malaysia, and every Malaysian should have some awareness as to what Indian culture is, what Chinese and Malay cultures are, to be better Malaysians.” Kumar has been affiliated with TFA since the time of its inception in 1981, first as a student in the Penang branch, and then from 1989 in Kuala Lumpur. His passion runs parallel to Vasuki Sivanesan’s, who has taught at TFA for the past 34 years. She teaches bharatanatyam also at Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA), like many of TFA’s more senior teachers who teach part-time at ASWARA in traditional Indian arts and dance styles. Vasuki (far left), and her bharatanatyam students. “Seven of my students from ASWARA, which include Chinese and Malay students, have performed their arangetram,” says Vasuki. Arangetram refers to the ascension to stage to deliver a debut performance, akin to a graduation performance at TFA; it requires a mastery of a classical dance style of study. Some of Vasuki’s students have had children and grandchildren of their own, whom Vasuki also teaches. “Indian dances are mythology-based; it’s thematic,” she says. Dancers of all art forms in India retell the tale of Ramayana, as an inspiration, for instance. “When learning art forms and genres, as an artist, you have to be a little bit more open-minded – it’s about your bakti, your devotion.” Vasuki has taught at TFA for the past 34 years. Bhuma Manoharan, too, started studying at TFA since she was four years old; today, she teaches music on a part-time basis, armed with a music degree, which she studied while working as a medical doctor abroad. “I came back to Malaysia because it’s home – and the Temple is one of the aspects of it being home, the availability of this place, this space,” she says. Bhuma and her husband wanted to raise their children in this environment, the way she herself was raised. “Children end up being in the classes because it’s a tickbox exercise for the parents. God willing, time willing, some of them take a natural interest in the arts and pursue the arts for what it is, rather than because they’ve been put into a class,” Bhuma says. TFA recently organised the fourth edition of the Shantanand Festival of Arts, an annual arts festival of dance, music, and theatre; the festival, which ran for three weeks, featured a diverse range of artists, genres and performances, including a dance ballet in the bharatanatyam style, the Malay Mekmulung dance, and Under the Kayon Tree, a full-length production bringing to life Malaysian folktales and legends. In line with TFA’s ethos of making arts accessible to all, the festival has a pay-as-you-wish admission for audiences. A Bollywood dance class in session. “Even if you’re the poorest man in town, you can pay us one ringgit to watch a performance. In that, we appeal to sponsors and well-wishers to help us fund these projects, and thereby the institution,” Bhuma says. “As inter-culturally happy as we’ve been in the past years, I think you see it most in moments when everyone comes together. I believe the arts play a huge role in that.” Address: Temple of Fine Arts, 116 Jalan Berhala, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.

07 Mar 3 Ways to Help Build Your Daughter’s Confidence In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8th, we are honoring the women in our lives by sharing a few strategies to help parents build up their daughters! It is common knowledge that our young teen girls are in a different world than their parents grew up in. They are constantly exposed to images and messages that can be damaging to their self-image. What is a concerned parent to do? Here are 3 simple, quick ideas! Allow her to ‘toot her own horn’ Over dinner this evening, ask your daughter to name 3 things over the last week that she is proud of. Did she ace a test? Help a friend? Start a cool project? There are no rules or boundaries for what your daughter can be proud of! If she is unable to name 3 things, challenge her to be able to find 3 things for next week, and use this as an opportunity for allowing her to share how she defines and values the importance of pride and gratitude. 2. Show her this video, and discuss it Some guiding discussion questions may be: What were your initial thoughts watching the video? What about your physical appearance do you find beautiful? Do you think you perceive yourself differently than how other perceive you? 3. Order this workbook off of Amazon & encourage your daughter to work through it Written by Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, this workbook acts as a guided journal for your daughter to begin to unpack her beliefs about herself , explore where they come from, and leave unhealthy thoughts behind! Whether you are a parent, teacher, friend, or family member, encourage to use these tips with young women in your life in order to honor International Women’s Day & bringing awareness to the importance of a healthy self-esteem in order to create healthy, happy, successful women!

- Category: Arts & Culture - Published: Friday, 30 January 2015 11:22 - Written by Nita Teoh La Soiree, Fringe World Perth Photo Credit: Bath Boy by Simon-Pierre Gingras Sitting underneath the Palais des Glaces Spiegeltent at The Pleasure Gardens, I looked up at the stained glass windows of this beautiful structure from yester year. The tent billowed gently in the breeze of the air conditioning – keeping us cool on another warm Perth night. Punters gathered at ringside chatting and drinking merrily, as we waited for the magic of La Soirée to unfold at Perth Fringe World. And unfold it did. We were confronted with the amazing, the funny, the risqué, and the unbelievable. Act after act. Performer after performer. Death defying feats for ordinary folks. Contortionist man Captain Frodo had me in fits of laughter as tears streamed down my face – his act got more and more ridiculous as he manipulated himself through his chosen objects. I was awe struck by his uniqueness. Oh my god…..how can he do that? No he possibly couldn’t that…….that’s not humanly possible. Bath Boy left me gasping (and slightly wet in a good way)…his muscles taut and perfect as he executed his moves with acrobatic precision. It’s not a sight that you will forget easily. The English gents Dennis Lock and Hamish McCann... their transition from bowler hats and formalities to bare more than expected. The Swedish ping pong duo David and Fofo had me in fits of laughter….how can you possibly do that? And red handkerchief lady Ursula Martinez still has me puzzled. How did she do it? It’s is difficult to choose between favourite acts….each one has contributed to making La Soirée known around the world. These famous performers have come together from many countries to make it the special family that is La Soirée. They weren’t kidding when they said "Come watch La Soirée and leave your troubles behind." Swept into a world of mayhem, mischief, and sexiness, two hours later we were on our feet giving a standing ovation to the performers, before reluctantly departing the big top and merging into the late night Perth Fringe Festival crowd. We are lucky to have La Soirée come to Perth as part of Fringe World Perth. It’s their first visit to WA as part of a world tour, and judging from their enthusiastic reception on opening night, it won't be their last. If you enjoyed this article, please share it!

DescriptionOriginally released as part of Zeebo Family Pack, Cannonball is an amusement park-like shooting gallery game, in which the player controls a cannon shooting ships at a fake sea. Players must tap the screen where they want the ball to be shot. The targets consist of clipper ships, floating bottles, seagulls, treasure chests, octopi, sea monsters, etc. Each target has a number on it, denoting how many points the player gets for hitting it. In front of the display there are several holes with bonus marks (1x, 2x, 3x and 5x); hitting a target when it is in front of one of those holes awards the bonus points shown. There is a bomb in the lower portion of the screen, with a burning fuse. The goal is to reach a certain amount of points at each level before the fuse burns out. Latter levels demand more points to be beaten. Players can select an avatar when creating a profile. The game includes a global, cross platform high-score ranking that allows the player to share his/her top scores and compete for the highest score possible against other players.

A few months ago, I wrote an article for an online publication. Unfortunately, they never got around to using it and now that it's officially summer, it's no longer applicable content. But since I really enjoyed writing it, and was pleased with how it turned out, I felt that it was worth sharing in one way or another. As a brief background to give you a frame of reference for reading, this article was written on March 21st of 2014 — one day after the first day of Spring — and at the time of writing I was still living in Pittsburgh. I hope you enjoy... Poor Rich “The thing that’s most important to me is whatever I need the most at any given time.” An honest answer to an honest question — “for a homeless person, what is the most important thing to have? So, if you knew that all the time there would be a place or person that would always have this particular item that you consider most important, what would you want that meets your most immediate needs the best?” This was a conversation that took place between me and Rich on a frigid January morning. Rich is a homeless man here in Pittsburgh. He is currently “residing” in a neighborhood called Oakland, where the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University are located. I’ve had the privilege of sharing food and conversation with Rich several times. From what I can gather from our conversations, Rich has been homeless for the better part of the past 30 years, having spent about 20 of those years in Pittsburgh. Although I have never been homeless, I feel confident in asserting that it is a significant challenge, and that being homeless in the dead of winter, in Pittsburgh, is a different kind of challenge altogether. In fact, one of the last times I spoke with Rich was the day before the Polar Vortex first swept through the Northeast. Our conversation ended abruptly because a van from a local homeless shelter drove by and insisted that they take him in for the night — being that any homeless person left on the street in the -32 °F wind chill would not survive into the morning. However, Rich has always seemed to have a surprisingly upbeat attitude, always willing to engage in very open and honest, yet lighthearted, chit chat, despite the daily, hourly, even minute-by-minute challenges that he faces living on the streets. And cracking an occasional joke, he’ll remind you that the irony is not lost on him that he is a poor person who goes by the name “Rich”. I’ve not seen Rich in a little while, but lately I’ve been thinking about him often and his philosophy towards his very minimal belongings. You see, in the next few weeks my wife and I will be making a move to South Carolina — our third move to a different state in the past 5 years. It would be an understatement to say that I hate moving more than hearing someone in live, verbal conversation utter the abbreviation “OMG” - it’s the same amount of syllables, folks! However, one positive thing that moving does always seem to accomplish is making you take stock of everything that you have — because the reality, perhaps unfortunately, is that we have a lot of stuff. Released in 2009, a fascinating film documentary by Gary Hustwit called Objectified explores the origins, purpose, and effects of industrial design and the resulting objects that fill our daily lives. These objects being the “stuff” I’m referring to. However, the question here is not one of some kind of inherent evil of these objects or the fact that anyone possesses them. After all, toothbrushes are stuff, beds are stuff, sweaters and jackets are stuff — all of these items designed and mass-produced with an end-user in mind who probably already owns a toothbrush, a bed and warm clothes, but few would argue that dental hygiene, sleep, and warmth are unimportant. The question at hand is one of accumulation and of necessity or, rather, the lack thereof. In the documentary, a world-renowned designer named Marc Newson speaks to the burden that he feels as a designer to “offer products that you want to keep — products that you feel, most importantly, will stand the test of time — that hopefully won’t date as badly as other things.” However, his burden is not in relation to an effort towards durability or sustainability. Instead, it’s about answering his own internal question of what will make somebody more interested in his product over somebody else's? — “because it’s all about wanting new things isn’t it? I mean, ultimately we could all be using the mobile phones we had three years ago but we’ve all had about five in the meantime.” This is where the tension lies — what do I want versus what do I need? Further complicating matters is the fact that neither “want” nor “need” are easy to define and most of the time they end up finding a way to overlap. For example, perhaps I am need of a vehicle to get from my home to my workplace each day, but does that vehicle need to be a $475,000 Rolls-Royce or would that simply be something that I want? As evidenced by my homeless acquaintance, Rich, needs greatly differ from person to person as well. Rich doesn’t need a vehicle to get to work. Subsequently, he doesn’t need auto insurance, gasoline, windshield wiper fluid, etc. Granted, most people, including myself, would consider their needs to be quite different from Rich’s, but the lesson here from his example should not be discounted because, at the most basic level, everyone’s needs are the same — simply put, survival. One of the most enlightening things Rich ever shared with me is his ultimate philosophy towards his possessions - “people try to give me things all the time, but I only take something if it’s better than what I have.” Rich doesn’t have storage units or closets. He doesn’t have refrigerators to keep food cold so that they will stay fresh if he has a surplus. He has to consider only in any given moment what he needs right then. Although the average American does have the capacity for storage and, in fact, still finds the need to rent additional storage for the things that we might need 10 years from now, imagine how wonderful it would be to be completely content in simply meeting your needs — no more, no less. Perhaps the only caveat being when you find something that could meet your needs better. In light of the Spring season that has just dawned on us, there seems to be no better time to reexamine ourselves and the objects that we surround ourselves with. What are the items that are enriching our lives and what are the items that are simply cluttering our lives? After all, Spring is all about renewal — stripping away the old so that something fresh and new can replace it. I encourage you this season, instead of seeking new things to find fulfillment, seek contentment in the absence of an abundance and embrace the “newness” that provides.

Na razie po angielsku ale już wkrótce po polsku. Petycje zostały ściągnięte ze strony Milarepa Fund i tam też kierują odnośniki. Na co czekacie? Do dzieła! Free Political Prisoners The Panchen Lama, the second most important religious figure in Tibet, is missing. At the age of six, Gendun Choekyi Nyima was recognized by the Dalai Lama as the 11th Panchen Lama of Tibet. Immediately after the Dalai Lama recognized him, he and his family disappeared and all the monks that were involved in selecting him were arrested by Chinese authorities. The senior monk in this search party was recently sentenced to six years in prison. Gendun Choekyi Nyima's whereabouts are still unknown. Ngawang Choephel is a Tibetan Fulbright Scholar who studied ethnomusicology at Middlebury College in Vermont. Ngawang grew up in exile in India and visited Tibet for the first time in May of 1995 to conduct thesis research on traditional Tibetan music. In September of 1995, Ngawang disappeared. He was held for over one year without being charged of any crime, but in December of 1996 was sentenced to 18 years in prison for false charges of espionage. Despite the fact that he was brought to the US on a congressional scholarship, the US government has done nothing to secure (photo unavailable) was arrested at the age of 19 for joining a pro-independence group and putting up posters at his school in Lhasa, Tibet. He was sentenced to three years in prison. A year after his arrest, he refused to comply with increased restrictions in his prison and was severely beaten by prison guards. He died shortly thereafter. Phuntsog Yangkyi was arrested in February 1992 for participating in a brief nonviolent protest with five other young Tibetan nuns. The nuns, whose only crime was singing independence songs, were beaten severely upon arrival at the police station. Phuntsog was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released as her health started to deteriorate from the torture she suffered. She died shortly after her release. Pelsang was detained at the age of thirteen with eleven other nuns for planning a nonviolent protest. Although she was never charged formally, she was held in prison for nearly two years. She was released, as her medical condition began to deteriorate. There are currently over a dozen nuns under the age of fifteen who are suffering in Chinese campaigns really work? Palden Gyatso was arrested in 1959 for participating in a nonviolent demonstration in Lhasa, Tibet. He spent the next thirty three years in Chinese prisons, and suffered terrible tortures. While in prison, he documented the torture that was routinely administered to Tibetan prisoners, including forced labor, beatings with electric cattle prods, boiling water, and the brutal rape of Tibetan nuns. In 1992, as the result of an Amnesty International letter-writing campaign, Palden was released from prison. Palden managed to smuggle Chinese torture implements out of his prison and. Since his release, Palden has spoken from the mainstage at both Tibetan Freedom Concerts, testified before the US Congress sub-committee on Human Rights, been on several world-wide speaking tours and written a book "The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk" (Grove Press, 1997).

The Interpol has issued a blue corner notice to help locate self-styled godman Nithyananda, who fled India last year after a rape case was registered against him, Gujarat Police said on on Wednesday. The police said that they are now working on getting a red corner noticed issued against Nithyananda. A red corner notice requests law enforcement agencies across the world to provisionally detain the person named in the notice and inform the country that has sought the notice. However, agencies are not duty-bound to act on a red corner notice. A blue corner notice, on the other hand, merely seeks information about a person's whereabouts and his/her activities. Of late, Nithyananda has been seen in many videos giving out sermons from undisclosed locations in foreign lands. Nithyananda fled the country last year after a rape case was registered against him in Karnataka. Nithyananda was earlier declared wanted by the Gujarat Police.

CHITRAL, Aug 30: Hundreds of acres of land have been eroded in different villages of Chitral by the river as it is in high flood due to melting of glaciers in the upper parts of the district. The residents of Sarghuz, Junali Koch, Reshun and Juti Lusht areas complain that their fertile lands have been eroded by the river recently and the danger is still looming large. “The danger will persist till fall of temperature and change of season,” they added. Syed Sardar Hussain Shah, former district general secretary of Pakistan People’s Party, said that more than 60 families of Sarghuz village had migrated to safer place last year when over 1,000 acres of land was washed away by the river. He said that no action was taken by the government despite the fact that residents of the village had gone hunger strike in January last when the river was at its lowest ebb and erecting a protection wall was possible. Mr Shah said that the historic and scenic village at the confluence of Laspur and Mastuj valleys was exposed to flood. He feared that the village would be washed away completely during the current season if the river remained in the same high flood. He said that same was situation in Junali Koch village, known for highest yield of rice, where one-third area was washed away by the river, rendering many people homeless. Mr Shah held government responsible for the miseries of the residents of the two villages and said that not a single penny was utilised to erect protection wall to divert the floodwater. “All appeals of the villagers have fallen on deaf ears,” he added. In Juti Lusht village, the river has already swept away a football ground and several houses while a grid station and a marble factory can also be in danger if the river continues to flood for a couple of days. The residents of the village alleged that a government department erected a protection wall, approved for the area, at another place where there was no danger of erosion.

The headline in my morning paper was the height of mediocrity: “A Standoff Over Steroids.” Edward R. Murrow would be proud. Watching Congressman Henry Waxman interrogate baseball’s Roger Clemens this week was maddening. In the middle of a war, while the right to intercept electronic messages by our terrorist enemies is being thwarted by anti-war Democrats, as the economy lumbers down some shaky railroad tracks, and illegal immigrants continue to stream across the border siphoning social services from our local communities, a bunch of grandstanding Congressmen have decided to grind Washington, D.C. to a halt and decide if some pampered, spoiled millionaire baseball player is telling the truth when he denies having Human Growth Hormone injected into his butt. In the grand scheme of life, I wonder how many taxpayers are on the edge of their seats wondering if some trainer named Brian McNamee is being truthful when he testified that Clemens is lying about his use of steroids and HGH. It ranks right up there with concern about what Brittney Spears is going to do next in her train wreck of a life. I’d like to believe that most of us have full enough lives that the personal habits of baseball players or pop divas don’t even register as a blip on our collective radar. It’s one thing to see paparazzi (what a stupid word) stalk Hollywood celebrities like a bunch of crazed vultures and realize what a ridiculous environment could lead to such a debacle in la-la land. It’s quite another to recognize that our tax dollars have funded this baseball/steroid three ring circus, a giant waste of government resources if there ever was one. It’s important to make comparisons between the Brittney Spears and the Roger Clemens of the world because they are both in the exact same type of business: entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. Too many folks take the baseball steroid controversy seriously because they love their baseball. To them, it’s all about the records, the World Series, celebrating the great American pastime and all. But baseball players play the game for one reason: our entertainment. They are our movie stars, our pop singers, our recording artists. We expect them to hit the ball, throw the ball, run the bases, and win games. What grown men inject into their bodies in order to achieve our expectations of them should not only be of no significance to us, it sure as heck is no business of the U.S. Congress. You want to have Congress hold hearings on baseball players using “performance enhancing drugs?” Okay, let’s keep going down this path. I’m waiting for Congress to drag The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards before some pompous committee so he can testify as to whether or not he ever used performance enhancing drugs prior to one of the 50 thousand concerts he’s performed over the last 60 years or so. Incidentally, the smart money says he has. I’d like to see Amy “Rehab” Winehouse, the current toast of the recording industry, explain to Congressman Waxman how many drugs it has taken her to jump up on a stage and sing her songs. The entertainment industry is full of alcoholics and drug addicts who often flaunt their habits in front of a jaded public. If you want to fret about baseball players as role models encouraging kids to take steroids, worry more about the recording artists our children are emulating who would dismiss HGH as child’s play. Cocaine, Ecstasy, heroin, angel dust – these are drugs a heck of a lot worse than steroids, with young people drawn to these killer drugs in far greater numbers than steroids. Congressmen don’t really care about protecting young people from turning to steroids. We could hold congressional hearings on an hourly basis to try and detect how many people are cheating on their taxes, or which TV star is doing drugs, or whether or not our next door neighbor kicks his dog. No, politicians love to pander. They enjoy showboating in front of the TV cameras; they like to pretend to be concerned about an issue like steroids in baseball that isn’t really any of their business. If Major League Baseball feels it has a problem with players taking steroids, let Major League Baseball handle it. At least there wouldn’t be any taxpayer money involved.

Spice: The Scourge of London Spice: The Scourge of London In a proposed crackdown on the possession of Spice, Westminster Council in London have today called for its use to be made illegal. It was recently made illegal to make it or supply it but that appears to have done little to prevent the tsunami of addiction that is sweeping the streets of London. If you spend just a few moments surfing news programmes from around the world on YouTube it becomes clear very quickly that this isn’t simply a Westminster problem or even a London problem. It’s not even just a national problem. It’s global. From London to Los Angeles to Tokyo. In all eventualities it appears to be the homeless and those suffering in extreme poverty who fall victim to the drug in the highest numbers. Allen Carr’s Easyway would fully support any programme or project that looked into how to care for the victims of Spice in a kind, compassionate, and holistic manner. We have to look at it pragmatically and gathering information is essential. It’s clear that having increasing numbers of addicts in public places reacting to taking the drug by either vomiting, passing out, suffering seizures, or becoming incredibly violent is a serious drain on the resources of the police and medical services who are left to deal with them. In order to help the poor victimes of this drug we first need to understand them. How many of them have pre-existing mental health issues which have simply been exacerbated by Spice addiction? And how many have developed mental health issues exclusively because of Spice addiction? Spice is many, many more times potent than heroin or crack cocaine – something that Allen Carr’s Easyway has had tremendous success treating. Our specialist London Centre has also already treated clients who have become addicted to cannabinoids such as Spice and we’d be extremely happy to assist Westminster Council in any way with their plans. But any plan does need to provide answers for how to cope with a huge number of homeless people suffering with mental health issues. Is there likely to be an answer to the problem that doesn’t involve residential treatment for the victims? It’s essential to differentiate between the true physical withdrawal symptoms of this type of drug and the symptoms of the mental and physical damage caused by the drug – it’s easy to confuse the two. It’s the drug, rather than the withdrawal of the drug which is causing the most severe so called withdrawal symptoms. Meanwhile – amongst the general population – we need to warn our kids away from this stuff – in the same way as we do with heroin and coke. Because drugs like Spice, also known as Mojo, Scooby Snax, Black Mamba, and Annihilation, were formerly known as ‘legal highs’ – being available perfectly legally from online and high street retailers – there remains the risk of under-estimating the potency and awful impact of these synthetic drugs. Just knowing that hardened heroin and crack cocaine addicts are switching to the drug in great numbers indicates how accessible and inexpensive these drugs are. And they appear to be many, many times more potent than heroin or crack. Westminster Council want the police to have the power to confiscate the drug direct from the addicts and although this is well-intentioned – isn’t that likely to merely have the addicts shy away from the city’s landmarks, tourist attractions, and public places rather than get free from the drug? Sadly the e-cigarette phenomenon is attempting to develop youth interest in “drug” use – tempting youngsters with flavours such as candy floss, gummy bear, and bubble gum. Today, vaping the liquid form of these cannabinoids is a fast-rising and extremely worrying trend. What are the symptoms of cannabinoid addiction/use? - Organ failure - Extreme violence What is Spice? It’s actually made from dried plant material and chopped up herbs in a mixture of colours including beige, cream, red, and brown. The active ingredients are sprayed onto the plant material. What is the difference between Spice (also known as synthetic marijuana) & real marijuana? Regular marijuana contains a chemical known as THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) Synthetic marijuana, on the other hand, is coated with synthetic cannabinoids, made in a lab and part of a family of many hundreds of chemicals. They have names such as JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, AM-2201 UR-144, XLR-11, AKB4 Synthetic cannabinoids are produced as an oil or a crystalline powder that can easily be sprayed on plant material. Synthetic marijuana is no relation whatsoever to real marijuana and it is likely that the incorrect comparison gives the drug a benign appeal to those who don’t know better. #QuitDrugs #DrugAddiction #BeAddictionFree #AllenCarr From the desk of John Dicey, Worldwide CEO & Senior Therapist, Allen Carr’s Easyway

Has anyone seen "Extreme Couponing?" I'm not a huge fan of hoarding, but that show gave my husband and I the idea to collect coupons in order to make eating organic possible. But how do you organize them? Well, I looked on the interwebs for a tutorial, and I found a couple projects that looked similar to this: The catch? Either there was no tutorial, or you had to buy an expensive pattern. I understand that many bloggers sell patterns to help support their families and whatnot, but I am already on a tight budget (hence the couponing). So what did I do? I made one up! For cheap! And I am posting the tutorial for it! And I am offering the pattern on my Etsy for only $2.00! Onto the tutorial! I used bright white thread and contrasting colors so you can see each step more clearly. First, cut the pattern pieces. I started sewing with the dividers and the accordian sides. Stack them with the two fabric pieces on bottom (right sides together), and the interfacing on top (for the dividers). Then stitch up the long sides. Next, use a straight edge help turn out the seams and press. Then topstitch the top and bottom to seal it in place. This also helps keep the interfacing stable. Next, it's time to sew the cover. Stack the fabric the same way you did the dividers: right sides together, interfacing on top. Then stitch the scalloped edges on top and bottom to make the seams. The curves and turns are a little tricky, but if you go slow you will be fine. Then, turn it inside out, and push out and press the seams. You may need some kind of tool to pop out the corners and curves. Then-you guessed it-topstitch. First, I attached the dividers to the accordian. Fold the accordian piece in half, and slide the divider all the way up into the crease. Then stitch it down about 1/4 inch from the edge--just enough to catch all the layers. Now, fold the fabric back, and a little farther down, make another fold (how many folds you make and how far to space them will depend on how many dividers you choose to have-on my pattern I have drawn the lines to make 8 dividers--it's a pretty tight fit). Again, stick the divider into the crease and stitch it down. Once you have sewn in all your dividers on one accordian side, then repeat with the other. It may be slightly trickier on the other side, but just start in the middle and you will be fine. I was able to eyeball the spacing just fine. Now, you should have some extra fabric at the ends of your accordian sides. This is what you will use to attach your dividers to the cover. Decide where you would like the dividers to be inside your clutch, leaving plenty of room for the file to expand (The pattern also has a rough guide to where the folds should be in the cover). Then pin it down and bast it close to the edge. Once you've done this to the front of your cover, roll the cover up around to the other side of the dividers, and attach the other side of the dividers to the back side of the clutch. Congratulations! You are almost there! Now you just have to do a little finishing and you are done! Take a strip of bias tape and pin it along the side of the clutch, covering the basting work you just did. Topstitch it down, then repeat. Then add a snap or button closure to the front and you are done! Take a look! |a little peek-a-boo of the dividers| Now, the part you have been waiting for: How do you get the pattern? It's simple: just visit my Etsy and put in an order! I will email it to you as soon as I can! Check out our link parties link to see where I am linking up this week. Also linking up to: A to Z

Those of you who’ve read Outliers (Malcolm Gladwell), will already be familiar with the Matthew Effect (the rich get richer), but for those of you who are not, let me give you an example – A couple have stopped off in a town they don’t know and they are hungry. So they go looking for a restaurant. They haven’t read any reviews and they don’t really know what they want to eat; how do they make their choice? They walk past 9 restaurants, all of which look quite empty, when they come to the 10th restaurant they see that the restaurant is half full and the people inside look fairly content. Which one would you choose? Most of us, I think, would instinctively choose the restaurant with people, we would use our system 1 thinking (Kahneman), to make an assumption – that this restaurant is better than the others. But how many of those people in the restaurant made the same assumption as you. Is this restaurant really so much better than the other 9? This phenomena, also know as accumulate advantage, happens in many walks of life – it explains why cities like Seoul are growing at an exponential rate, (more jobs attract more people, which creates more jobs), it explains why facebook has one billion users and how Psy got so many you-tube hits (it surely can’t be because he’s a million times better than Radiohead,can it?). In the case of the restaurant it might be that the “best” restaurant is slightly better than the others, and this slight advantage is enough to start an avalanche. Nowhere is the Matthew Effect more visible or pertinent than in Seoul, and especially in Gangnam. Until the 80s, nobody of note lived in Gangnam, its reclaimed swampland was decidedly not des res, but then the development came, and then the money, and then the nightclubs, plastic surgeons and hagwons. Today, property in Gangnam is twice or three times as expensive as anywhere else in Seoul and therefore some of the most expensive real estate in the world – it’s almost impossible for a “normal’ person to buy property here. Now, those of you who know Seoul and have travelled around it, know that each district, or gu, looks very much like another one. It can be quite disorienting when you travel on the subway to enter at one station (with its dunkin’ donuts and starbucks) and come up the escalator to find yourself in out almost identical locale half an hour later. It’s not like New York or London with it’s distinct boroughs, architectures and ghettoes. The apartments in Gangnam are no bigger or better than in other districts. Gangnam is near the river, granted, but have you been to the river? So what’s the attraction? Simply that other people want to live there? When I ask Seoulites where they would most like to live, they often say, Gangnam and when pressed to say why, they don’t mention house prices (which are exorbitant), and they certainly don’t mention the beautiful architecture (there’s none to speak of in Seoul, unless you count the palaces). No, the number one, and only reason is, they all want their kids to go to school there. One of the most interesting things about my job as a teacher trainer working in Seoul is I get to visit English teachers teaching in the state schools. I help them plan their lesson and then I come to their schools to observe their classes, to evaluate their teaching and to give them “constructive” feedback. I’ve seen some great lessons in the 4 years that I’ve been working here and I’ve seen some real stinkers. I’ve been all over Seoul and been to all sorts of schools. But, just like the apartments, the restaurants and the cars, the schools are much of a muchness. In fact I’ve been to some pretty grotty schools in Gangnam (and some really nice ones). Teachers on the other hand, are much more diverse thanks to Korea’s progressive policy of moving teachers from post to post every 5 years. I would guess that most teachers, given the choice would prefer to teach in Gangnam too, but they are not allowed to choose which school they teach in (as far as I understand it). So how did Gangnam earn its reputation as the centre of educational excellence and why does everyone want to send their kids to school there? I have to admit that the lessons I saw in Gangnam were “better” on average than in other districts. But why? If you take away the school and the teachers, what are you left with? The answer is straightforward enough – the students. Gangnam’s reputation for being the best place to be educated has nothing to do with education in the way we normally think of it. It’s got to everything to do with the people sitting in the desks (staring out of the window) and with their affluent jet setting, middle class parents. Future prime ministers, high court judges and CEOs, most of whom have spent some time in the US, Australia or the UK, study in Gangnam schools, a high proportion of these kids attend the prestigious SKY universities (Korean IVY league schools) and once a person graduates from one of these Korean Ivy League institutions, they, like their Oxbridge and Harvard cousins, are set for life. This is accumulated advantage in action. The rich get richer. This is not fair, is it? In fact it makes my blood boil. Why should a person’s future be decided by something as arbitrary as a post (zip) code? But what can we do about it? The answer may lie with the internet. If everybody attended a school in the cloud, wouldn’t that level the playing field? One of the most inspiring TED talks I have heard is this year’s winner – Sugata Mitra. You should check out the talk yourself But if you don’t have time to watch it I will give a short summary – basically, he offered poor kids access to the internet and, with minimal supervision (or teaching), poor kids taught themselves how to use the computer, they taught themselves how to use English so that they could learn how to use the computer and access the internet and they used the internet to find out the answers to some very big questions such as what DNA is and why people live on Earth and not on other planets. His SOLE initiative is truly inspiring and offers the very real possibility of education being accessible to everybody regardless of where they live. But there are rather large caveats to this utopian future – firstly answering big questions such as why is grass green is not how intelligence is currently measured in standardized testing, so those kids unlocking the mysteries of the universe on the internet may lack the necessary skills (culturally acquired) to do well in traditional forms of testing and fall behind their rote-learning friends. Secondly, cloud learning requires some fairly sophisticated equipment, including a computer and internet access (but these things are very quickly becoming ubiquitous) and thirdly, the internet , like everything else in this complicated life, is itself subject to the Matthew Effect, so the schools of the future might reside in the cloud but that cloud may well be owned by Oxbridge Harvard Inc. “For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him”

Updated 7/17/08 at 11:16 am PST with additional pricing information. It's time that Opera Mobile got its due. Long overshadowed by Opera Mini--the light, server-fed browser for Java phones--Opera Mobile is a robust browser built on Web standards (and written with C and C++) that's known for delivering a full Web experience to Windows Mobile and Symbian phones. Yet even though Opera Mobile has made good as a much closer approximation of the desktop Internet experience, it traditionally hasn't received the same developmental attention as Opera Mini. With Opera Mobile 9.5 beta, released on Thursday as freeware, things begin to change. In many ways, this beta version of Opera Mobile is a fusion of Opera's Desktop and Mini versions. It inherits certain tabbing, searching, linking, and saving capabilities from Opera Desktop 9.5, and Opera Mini's search and display settings. What follows is a full hands-on review of Opera Mobile 9.5 beta (also see the video) that takes into account the program's newly redesigned interface, features, performance enhancements, Opera Dragonfly, issues, and what to expect from future beta builds, of which there will be several before the final release. We also won't leave out availability and price. The redesigned interface focuses on a small strip of navigational icons at the base of the app and concealed context menus that appear where applicable when you tap and hold. For instance, opening the context menu when hovered over a link gives you options of opening the link in a new tab, copying the URL, or sending the link to friends. The main context menu can be accessed by tapping and holding the white space, whereas the inverted 'v' on the navigation pops up a third options menu. This new design replaces actionable menu items and helps boost clarity while reducing clutter. If you don't see the menu option you're looking for, you know you've mis-tapped. Without the familiar desktop icons, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta replaces the Opera-branded character with a generic sleek and modern look. You decide if that's good. Only about two-thirds of the final features are present in this first 9.5 beta build (see the road map section below), but already surpasses version 8.65 in terms of the browsing experience--with one caveat. This new beta version opens in the full-screen browsing mode by default, which lets users pick a starting point and zoom in for closer reading, and entire pages can now be saved for later. Like the 9.5 desktop version, there's in-text search with Find in Page and text highlighting; a Google search bar when you tap to enter a URL, and an address bar fitted with auto-complete that harnesses your browsing history by suggesting compatible sites as you begin typing. In this case, not all that is newer is better. While Opera retains its support for tabbed browsing, it replaces the true tabbing experience of Opera Mobile 8.65--ironically defined as "windows"--with a reversion to separate browsing windows, ironically called "tabs." In addition, the beta update appears to have lost some zoom granularity, though in a demonstration at Opera's California office, Sales Engineer Brian Purdy explained that zooming features differ by handset manufacturers. Driving all the front-end enhancements is a new proprietary core rendering engine, called Presto 2.1, which improves on the speed and rendering quality compared with Opera Mobile 8.65. While Opera doesn't yet have benchmarking numbers to share, I will say that the new version performed more smoothly than the old during testing and trounced Windows Mobile's Internet Explorer in performance. While Opera Mobile itself may have gotten speedier, the browser is still only as good as the phone's processor. For developers, Opera has also included support for the open-source remote debugging tool nicknamed Opera Dragonfly. Using the computer's IP address and Opera browsers for the phone and desktop, this cross-platform software syncs the two to test against errors on the phone, not just in the editor or emulator. Beta builds aren't meant to be perfect and Opera Mobile 9.5 beta comes with its share of flaws and foibles. First, it's an English-only build with support for other languages coming later. Users will also notice right away that Flash hasn't been enabled, making this software version video-blind. Installing the application on a memory card may be rocky, so make sure you've got room for the 4.2MB requirement. Fourth, you'll want to refresh pages after switching between viewing modes, for instance mobile and full screen views. Finally, problems with custom input methods specific to certain phone models will be buggy or broken. As I mentioned, Opera's center of command plans several more updates to Opera Mobile 9.5 before the final release. Google Gears, Opera Link, and Opera Widgets are slated to join the app in subsequent waves of development. A version for Symbian phones is forecast for Opera's near future. Starting Thursday, the touch screen version of Opera Mobile 9.5 beta will be available for free for Windows Pocket PC phones running Windows Mobile 5 or 6. A slightly different version of Opera Mobile 9.5 comes preloaded on the HTC Diamond. Opera Software has declined to comment on the pricing of Opera Mobile 9.5 going forward, but I've speculated elsewhere that there's a good chance the product could remain free. The stable version, Opera Mobile 8.65, costs $24.

Sacre Bleu: A Comedy D'Art (Compact Disc) A Comedy D'Art Publication Date: October 9, 2012 "Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of that word." " Moore's novels] deftly blend surreal, occult, and even science-fiction doings with laugh-out-loud satire of contemporary culture." "If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward." Absolutely nothing is sacred to Christopher Moore. The phenomenally popular, New York Times bestselling satirist whom the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls, "Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination" has already lampooned Shakespeare, San Francisco vampires, marine biologists, Death...even Jesus Christ and Santa Claus Now, in his latest masterpiece, Sacre Bleu, the immortal Moore takes on the Great French Masters. A magnificent "Comedy d'Art" from the author of Lamb, Fool, and Bite Me, Moore's Sacre Bleu is part mystery, part history (sort of), part love story, and wholly hilarious as it follows a young baker-painter as he joins the dapper Henri Toulouse-Lautrec on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the supposed "suicide" of Vincent van Gogh.

Are you looking for hunting property for sale? We have some great listings available. At Trophy Class Real Estate, we want to make sure you’re completely satisfied before, during and after the sale. If you know what you want, but want help finding it, one of our agents can help. Let’s sit down and have a conversation about what’s important to you to narrow the search. These are some examples of the questions to consider now. Will you want land with a house or without? You may want to build your own, or you may simply want a place people can drive out to for a few hours on the weekend. Knowing whether lodging is part of your plan significantly changes the direction of your search of hunting property for sale. Certainly, hunting land can be a great investment both personally and financially for you. Understanding your goals is the first step to helping you get off on the right property direction. What’s your budget? As of the writing of this article, we have hunting land for sale that ranges from $18,000 (land only) to $1.8 million that includes a magnificent 5,000 square foot hunting lodge for sale along with the 270 acres it sits upon. Knowing an estimate of what you’re willing and able to invest in your purchase can efficiently put us on the right course. If a house is part of the plan, the number of bedrooms and square footage is important to note too. We’ve seen some beautiful, well maintained cabins within modest budgets that worked perfectly for past clients. Also, don’t rule out covered garages and basements. Given the number of people who would be sheltering there, we’ve seen some creative transitions to better fit the new owners’ needs. What size plot are you interested in? Hunting land for sale varies anywhere from 1 acre to 520. Knowing the answers to the first two questions will help inform the size of the acreage you’ll be looking at. What kind of hunting do you want to do there? If you want to hunt deer, you want to make you’re your search includes topography and terrain features that good deer hunting property for sale with almost certainly have. Some examples are cover funnels, edges, saddles, points and ridgelines. If small game, like say turkeys, may be more your speed, high grounds and ridge lines are key to providing good vantage for roosting trees. What’s a reasonable driving distance to get to and from the property? Again, if you’re going to be traveling out there for days on end, you may be more willing to drive further than if you’ve only got a couple of hours to hunt. Understanding your appetite for commute length will most certainly inform our search for the right hunting property for sale for you. What else do you want to do on the property? One might think having a water source either on the property or close by is necessary for hunting. But as a seasoned hunter, you know that deer and small mammals don’t need large supplies of water to survive. All they really need are puddles of rain or melted snow. However, if fishing or other water sports are part of your plan, a search for hunting property for sale will also need to include those that feature access to a lake, riverbed, or stream. Will you need paved access or are you willing to add that after the sale? This may not seem like a big decision point for you, but it could have a big financial impact. Depending on the length of the property and desired location for access points to a main road, paved access could turn out to be tens of thousands of dollars. These are all things you want to know ahead of time to help factor into your budget and alleviate any expensive surprises on the back end of a hunting property sale. Have other questions or must-haves on your list? Just ask us. We love helping connect people with their ideal fit for location, property use, and desired lifestyle. Set up a chat with one of our agents today by emailing email@example.com or calling one of our friendly team members at 616-414-5420. We look forward to serving you!

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) had their yearly conference in Las Vegas this week. We made the journey (reluctantly, as you can imagine…) to see how broadcasters and digital content creators are utilizing the variety of technologies available to streamline their production and distribution processes. The show is huge. It easily fills all three halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The halls were organized well with some sections dedicated to digital distribution, some to post-production, all the way down to production satellite trucks and drone technologies (which was very cool!). Why did we go? To study what the state of the industry is in relation to digital content management and distribution—or more specifically, to see how the industry is approaching the CMS problem. To that extent, almost all of the major players were on display. The video distribution and management platforms such as BrightCove, Ooyala, Verizon Digital Media Services, and many other were well represented. We also had a chance to look at some of the largest CDN solutions: Akamai, MIcrosoft and Amazon AWS had a large presence. And of course, whereas 10 years ago, there were one or two players in the encoding space, now there are literally a hundred providers doing the same work. How far we’ve come! What we didn’t see, however, were any major players specializing in content management and distribution as a unified platform, especially when it comes to digital distribution to the Web and beyond. As we have talked about recently, the term “CMS” is used in a plethora of different ways. There were some companies participating here that labeled their products as CMS solutions, but they didn’t appear to be focused on a digital-first approach. And worst of all, they had very weak tools for managing websites and mobile applications. That is a great segue to our first point of interest from the NAB show. The 90/10 Rule: The Case for Custom CMS Installations This is still an issue that plagues content creators and publishers. There is not a perfect solution available for their needs. As one publisher told us: “We evaluated all the tools available and they only take us 90% of the way there.” This is the major selling point for the custom solutions we build for customers: The 10% difference in functionality from your wish list is often where the value lives. The challenge is something that will be very difficult for a single technology company to achieve. Digital content producers need tools that perform a broad amount of functions. Production of a video is basically project management with many specific workflows added into the mix: tools to organize assets, scripts, user interaction between producers, editors, talent, etc. This toolset is complicated and requires a thoughtful approach. On top of that, you then have the actual content management and distribution. Distribution now means many destinations: Web, apps, partners, OTT, live broadcast solutions, and many more. There were not many products on display at the show that produced both of those features in one platform effectively. Add on two other essential components for almost every content creator: website management and insights. I didn’t see any solutions that focused on website management for content producers. There were many companies offering plugins to other CMS solutions such as WordPress or Drupal, but there weren’t any solutions that integrated this functionality into a single unified platform. In terms of insight, there are many distribution solutions out there today. As I mentioned, Ooyala, Brightcove, and even JW Player now offer great hosted scenarios with accompanying analysis of analytics and insights. However, to get this functionality into a single-screen solution, you will have to make API connections or log in to those areas separately, which is a slower workflow. So, we’re still waiting to see who will offer a single-screen solution that is capable of the above features. Until then, custom solutions are still the best bet to achieve all of your wish list items in one platform. If you’ve been reading our blog regularly, you know we’ve spent many blog posts talking about the benefits of custom solutions versus connecting many off-the-shelf solutions. There is no industry or setting where this makes more sense than video production, where companies have many employees working across a broad range of disciplines to produce content in relatively short order, as well as distributing content to many channels and analyzing performance and monetization. This is the precise reasoning why custom solutions make sense in this industry—no one size fits all. Every publisher has a unique workflow and set of rules for producing and distributing content. It will be very challenging for any company to develop a one-screen solution that will be universal. Not to dig too far into the custom-versus-off-the-shelf debate again, but looking industry-wide, you can see the trend to build custom CMS solutions is growing across not just video, but traditional media publications as well. We’ve discussed this topic in the past, but many publishers are realizing the value of custom technology, built to their specifications. The next piece of the puzzle is how custom solutions can be made available to lower-tier publishers, niche publishers, and small businesses. So far, we all know the NY Times and players of that scale are building custom systems. Making that philosophy available to smaller content creators is going to be a massive area of opportunity. Short-Form Content Rules One interesting sentiment we heard from multiple people at the NAB show was the fact that the era of short-form content is no longer debatable. It is here for good. Today, even long-form content is mostly broken up into shorter pieces of content that are pieced together. This makes sense—user attention spans are low, and transforming content from traditional channels to digital makes much more sense at these particular sizes. Also, shorter content is much faster to produce. Content producers can create content based on trending topics, in response to breaking events or news, etc. Statistics show that penetration of short-form video in the 12-44 year old demographic is now 96%. That’s insane! As such, the tools we mention above in relation to content creation are more important than ever before. Short-form video requires two things: timely and/or targeted content, and content of a high quality. In looking at the venues for this type of content—study Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram—these platforms are driving the popularity of short-form video even further, to the extent that clips are now coming in at 60 seconds or less! Regardless of whether you produce long-form pieces of content containing multiple shorter clips or short-form video for social media specifically, it’s important that your workflows and management systems can handle the creation of that type of content. It’s also important that you’re constantly aware of what videos are performing at what level, which is best accomplished via statistical analysis. Short-form content is powerful, and the reason is not only because of how easily it is consumed, but also because of the way it is produced. It’s fast, cheap, and can be effective, provided you have the information available to make good decisions about what content to produce and how to distribute it. Lean and Mean is Gaining Traction We’ve all heard about it, and you can see the concept of “lean and mean” in other industries. With software development, for example, we talk a lot about the idea of a “minimum viable product,” or MVP. There are “lean startups” as well, the concept of starting new businesses with a bootstrapped budget, allowing for the highest level of pivoting and continuous improvement to the business model on an ongoing basis. Now, this is finally gaining more traction in the arena of video production and with the largest media companies in the world. There have been enough success stories where small media companies were able to grow quickly and move the needle that the traditional media companies are taking notice. To react, they are either starting their own small digital properties, buying existing ones, or taking the tactics of the lean mentality to their old-school organizations. How does this relate to content management systems? In a nutshell, it brings to light the problem we noted above: the inability of a one-screen solution to exist in a setting where it would do the best, which is an agile and ever-iterating media organization. It simply isn’t feasible to try to compete with the interrupters utilizing an old-school mentality. To be nimble, quick, and produce great content, you will need a centralized piece of software that manages your entire process of production and distribution. Otherwise, you will have issues as you scale to a size that is required for profitability. Overall, the NAB show is a fascinating experience. Many different areas of an enormous industry come together in one setting to see the latest and greatest technology, and converse about the state of the business in addition to where it is going. After this year’s show, there can be no doubt that the proliferation of online distribution of short-form video will continue. We can also be sure that more and more traditional media companies will fight to stop interruption from the smaller players vying for more and more attention. The one question remains: Who will invest in building out the proper content management ecosystem that allows them to scale properly and manage their property in the most effective way possible?

This week I'm going to talk about something that I've already talked about a few months ago.Except this time I want to talk more about the different types about and less about my personal experience.The topic is ataxia,which is a neurological side effect and Greek for "lack of order".It causes lack of muscle control,most seen in walking.It's a dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that control movement,a example of that is the cerebellum. There are three major types,cerebellar,sensory and vestibular.I'm going to focus more on the first of these because that's the one most common with people with neurological disorders.People with cerebellar ataxia tend to have problems with muscle contractions,and problems with gait and eye movements.People with it may also have balance problems,which may be hard to figure out if it's ataxia or not because it's also common with brain trauma and brain surgery survivors in general.The common way that it can be determined by how someone walks is either by widened base and high stepping,or by staggering and lurching from side to side.Another common sign is speech impediments.some of the most common of these are slowed speech,stuttering, irregular rhythm and of the voice.Another common sign is tremors which may include the head,torso and limbs.One of the more interesting ones is abnormal writing,which often include large uneven letters. Sensory ataxia is usually caused by the spinal cord and signs include stomping gait and postural instability.Vestibular ataxia is caused by caused by the dysfunction of the vestibular system.Common signs include eye movements,problems with walking,,vertigo, nausea and vomiting. The most common medical conditions that causes ataxia are stroke,brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord disorders,niemann pick disease,chiari malformation,and wilson's disease.Other causes include exogenous substances,radiation poisoning.,and vitamin b12 definceny.Treatment includes both Physical therapy and ,occupational therapy and meds. Below are links to where I got my info and my own personal experience with ataxia.Next week I will have a guest blogger because I'll be busy at work with the summer holiday.Thanks for reading :)

Finally a reason to praise the final game of an Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference season: the inaugural All-Star baseball game. For too many seasons, the final game of the season in the conference has been a mismatched contest pitting the top team in the upper division against the top team in the lower division, but this year the athletic directors in Harford and Cecil County public schools moved to do away with this nearly-assured beat-down. Amid little fanfare among the baseball teams, the idea was seized upon to invite the starting varsity players from both the upper Chesapeake and lower Susquehanna divisions to participate in an all-star contest, North vs. South. Last week, the teams from North Harford, C. Milton Wright, Patterson Mill, North East and Fallston formed the North side; they prevailed over the South, which featured players from Harford Tech, Bel Air, Havre de Grace, Edgewood, Aberdeen, Perryville, Bo Manor, Rising Sun and Elkton. The score was a respectable, 8-2 The idea was devised by Patterson Mill head coach Matt Roseland, who was quoted in this newspaper last week saying: "At the end-of-year coaches meeting last season, I presented the [idea] to the coaches and let them know I was interested in putting together an all-star, showcase game for UCBAC baseball. The coaches who attended showed some interest, so I brought the information back to the preseason meeting in February." The result was a relatively evenly matched game played in Aberdeen that showcased some of the two counties top baseball players. It's a wonderful way to end a youth athletic season, and the baseball all star game should serve as a model for the other team sports in the UCBAC.Copyright © 2015, The Baltimore Sun

HIP Fracture Accelerated Surgical TreaTment And Care tracK (HIP ATTACK) Trial (HIPATTACK) There is preliminary evidence that suggests early surgical treatment of a hip fracture may improve patients' outcomes. The investigators propose to do a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the feasibility of a large RCT comparing accelerated surgical repair (i.e. surgery within 6 hours of a hip fracture diagnosis) versus standard care (typically surgery after 36-48 hours). |Study Design:||Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor) |Official Title:||HIP Fracture Accelerated Surgical TreaTment And Care tracK (HIP ATTACK) Trial - Feasibility Pilot| - Feasibility [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] Feasibility defined as: - ability to recruit 60 patients in 18 months - ability to achieve arrival in the operating room within 6 hours of diagnosis in >=80% of the patients randomized to accelerated surgery - ability to achieve accelerated surgery in a timely manner - ability to achieve medical clearance in a timely manner - resource requirements to achieve recruitment and follow up - All-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Length of intensive care unit stay [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Length of stay in rehabilitation facility [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - New admission to a long-term care facility [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Functional Independence Measure (motor domain) [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Short form health survey (SF-36) (acute form) [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Acute form = 1 week recall - Delirium [ Time Frame: 7 days after randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Delirium, as defined by the Confusion Assessment Method - Pre-operative Myocardial Infarction [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Nonfatal Stroke [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Nonfatal Pneumonia [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Nonfatal Pulmonary Embolism [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Sepsis [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - New Congestive Heart Failure [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Nonfatal Cardiac Arrest [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] - Nonfatal myocardial injury after non cardiac surgery (MINS) [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] Myocardial cell injury caused by ischemia, which occurs within 30 days after noncardiac surgery and has short-term prognostic relevance. The diagnostic criteria for MINS is within the first 30-days after noncardiac surgery a troponin T value ≥0.03 ng/mL that is felt do to ischemia. MINS does not include perioperative myocardial injury that is due to pulmonary embolism, sepsis, cardioversion, a known troponin antibody or known chronically elevated troponin measurements, or another known nonischemic etiology. - Composite Endpoint [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Composite Outcome of of all-cause mortality, nonfatal pre-operative myocardial infarction, nonfatal myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), nonfatal pulmonary embolism, nonfatal pneumonia, nonfatal life-threatening or major bleeding, and nonfatal stroke at 30 days. - Major or Life-threatening Bleeding [ Time Frame: 30 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] |Study Start Date:||July 2011| |Study Completion Date:||November 2012| |Primary Completion Date:||November 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)| Experimental: Accelerated hip fracture surgery Arrival in the operating room within 6 hours of diagnosis of a hip fracture requiring surgical repair Other: Accelerated surgical hip fracture repair Accelerated hip fracture surgery defined as arrival in the operation room within 6 hours of diagnosis of a hip fracture requiring surgery No Intervention: Standard care Surgical hip fracture repair according to the standard timing Hip fractures have devastating consequences: the 30-day mortality rate for men is 9% and for women is 5%, and the risk of disability is substantial. Even among patients who are community-dwelling prior to their hip fracture, 11% are bed-ridden and 16% are in a long-term care facility after one year. The trauma associated with a hip fracture results in pain, bleeding, and immobility. These factors initiate inflammatory, hypercoaguable, stress, and catabolic states that can cause medical complications, including death. Proposed mechanisms for increased mortality and morbidity associated with delayed surgery include 1) complications related to a protracted immobilization (e.g. venous thromboembolism, atelectasis and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, and muscle mass loss) and 2) increased cardiovascular events. Delay in surgery may result in protracted immobility and the associated complications, as well as prolonged exposure to the hypercoagulable-inflammatory-sympathetic state which may increase cardiovascular events. Observational data suggests that these mechanisms are indeed important: delayed surgical repair is associated with increased mortality and morbidity after a hip fracture. A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies addressed the impact of timing of surgery on the outcome after hip fracture. Five studies reported adjusted measures for mortality. The pooled estimate, based on 721 deaths in 4,208 patients, suggested that early surgical treatment (i.e. within the cut-off of the individual studies) of hip fractures was associated with a significant reduction in mortality (adjusted risk ratio [RR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68-0.96). It is possible that these observational data substantially underestimates the real potential of early surgery. The reason is that the "early surgery" in these studies occurred within 24, 48 or 72 hours. If surgery could be uniformly undertaken within 6 hours, given the potential benefits of earlier mobilization and minimization of the period of the inflammatory hypercoagulable state, the benefits might be substantially greater. The substantial impact of treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke within hours adds credence to this possibility. Despite the evidence, and the possibility that a larger effect might result from even earlier surgery, current data supports only weak inferences. The evidence relies on observational data and is therefore susceptible to residual confounding. The strength of inference from current evidence does not lay a sufficient solid base to justify the substantial system modification required to facilitate accelerated surgical access for all hip fracture patients. The main factors that cause surgical delay after a hip fracture are: 1) the patient presents with comorbidities and surgery is deferred for preoperative diagnostics, risk stratification, and medical optimization ("medical clearance") and 2) surgical operating room and staff resources are not available because hip fractures have low priority in urgent surgery lists ("queuing"). Both medical clearance and queuing are modifiable issues - addressing these obstacles has the potential to substantially reduce surgical wait times. Our ultimate goal is to undertake a large multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) of accelerated surgical care (i.e., goal of surgery within 6 hours of diagnosis) versus usual timing of surgery among elderly adults diagnosed with a hip fracture. This protocol is for a pilot RCT that will inform the feasibility of undertaking a large RCT.

The Houston Texans have their man. Jadeveon Clowney on Friday signed his deal with the team that made him the first overall pick in last month's draft, NFL Media's Steve Wyche reported Friday, per a team source. The Houston Chronicle's John McClain, who first broke the news, notes that Clowney gets $22.272 million guaranteed, including a $14.518 million signing bonus. The team later officially announced the signing. With Watt expected to move up and down the line in coordinator Romeo Crennel's fluid and multiple front seven, Clowney projects as a force of nature set to reprise the strong-side linebacker role that Willie McGinest made famous with the New England Patriots. Clowney's freakish combination of size and speed makes him must-watch material come September. Unfortunately for the Texans, Clowney doesn't play quarterback -- still a position of need in Houston -- but the most exciting pass-rushing prospect in years promises to make life hell for opposing signal-callers deep into the future.

"Philthy" Phil recently released his second album, Renegade Rock n Roll, and is already seeing tremendous success from the first 2 singles. The first single, 'You Can Have Me' went top 10, and his current single 'Bad' is currently sitting in the top 5 in the Texas Music Charts. When talking to Phil I asked him how it felt to finally crack into the top 5 and see all his hard work starting to pay off. Phil: "Ya know this has been the best feeling in the world. To have been doing this as long as I have, and to be touring as much as we are, to have our first top 5 single, and still climbing, it's #4 on one of the charts, so we still aren't done with it. Ya never know what can happen, but definitely an accomplishment. And even the first single off this record 'You Can Have Me' to still be getting spins, and airtime on CMT is an exciting thing. There are just all of these great things that have come from this record, and we have really just started releasing it." RDBC: It seems as though this new album has a more true country sound, even a little bluesy at times. Did you set out to make a different sounding album this time? Phil: "Yeah I did. This was actually my first project with all of my own music. I had a vision of what I wanted for the record, wanted it to still have the rock n roll feel that is kinda our thing but have more a a traditional country feel to it. And a little blues feel in there just from my influences that I've listened to over the years. And I wanted to incorporate all that into a record that felt more mature and timeless. That was the main goal, and it was cool to see because I really think that came through." RDBC: has your recent success opened up any new doors for you yet? Phil: "Oh absolutely. Just from the sheer touring side of things, we have been able to move a little bit into a more national side of things instead of just limiting ourselves to Texas. I love Texas music, I love where I live and where I come from and I'll never get away from that. But there is just such a great opportunity to bring the music to people on a bigger scale. This album has opened up doors and allowed us to play in places like Colorado that we've never been able to reach to. And with bigger turnouts and new fans, and just being heard on a larger scale is due to the success of the new record." Phil has an amazing energy during his live show and has opened for some of the biggest acts in the Texas Music scene these days. He's opened for major Texas/Red Dirt Artists like the Casey Donahew Band and the Josh Abbott Band. So, I asked if there was anyone that he personally wanted to perform or share a stage with. Phil: "Ya know in Texas music it's very much you kinda do your own thing. But I have had the chance to open for pretty much every act in the business. That in itself has been a really cool thing. I never take that lightly. It's cool to play with these guys that you grow up listening to, who influenced you long before you hit a stage yourself. But I look forward to the day when maybe I get to play with Pat Green. He is one of the guys that really started this thing and made a really big push for this music that we are in. I haven't had that opportunity yet but I think and hope that maybe there is a chance for that in the future, and as one of my inspirations I'd love to share a stage with him." While I had him talking about performing, we talked about an event that he has set up to help out his hometown region of Texas. Most of you should know now that large portions of Texas were severely affected by drought last year. Phil has set up a 3 day event called Philthy on the Frio. It is a 3 day tube ride down on the Frio river with nightly concerts by Phil and others. His hope is to bring people back to the region and help support local area businesses and breathe some life back into an area nearly devastated by the drought last year. You can find out more about that on his website here -->http://www.philhamiltonmusic.com/philthyatthefrio.cfm To end the interview I wanted to ask a question not specifically related to his music, but one to pick his brain and find out who was at the deepest root of his musical influence. RDBC: So last question, just to give some insight into your influences, if you could speak with any one artist from any genre of music, past or present who would it be? Phil: (without hesitation) "Tom Petty for sure. That guy is one of my heroes. I could go on and on about Tom Petty. But the bottom line is the guy is a genius at song writing, showmanship, and creating quality, timeless music. For someone to have so many different kinds of people, and ages, and genres listen to his music and listen to songs released like 20 years ago. That is something not a lot of people have been able to do. And that is one of my dreams, I can only hope to make music that will last that long." I believe that Phil may just be on his way. He is a great musician and songwriter. He is an outstanding performer and he truly appreciates the chance to do what he loves for his fans. Pick up a copy of his Renegade Rock N Roll and judge for yourself. Better yet, catch on his live shows. There is no doubt in my mind that if you listen to this guy, you will become a "Philthy" Phil Hamilton fan.

Welcome to Brittany Discover Northern Brittany and its treasures Visiting Brittany on holiday Welcome to Brittany! For those who have already had the opportunity to discover one of its many facets, the desire to see more is obvious. For the others, it is the curiosity to open the door to this territory a little out of the way, almost out of time that pushes you to us. Brittany is a vast territory, landscapes with a thousand faces, a history that is still well established, a gastronomy inspired by its soil and the seas that surround it, the Bretons so Breton! . So let’s explore the north of Brittany! Brittany is also a warm atmosphere through its fest-noz and its music festivals, some of which are among the most important in France (La Route du Rock, Les Vieilles Charrues, Les Transmusicales, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, etc). In short… In pure Brittany, I could still write many lines about this region which is so dear to me but my objective when you come to l’Ile Verte camping in Ille et Vilaine will be to make you discover already the many treasures within a radius of 40 kms around the campsite. Drive along the Emerald Coast and fill your lungs with iodised air at the tip of Grouin. Discover Saint-Malo and its famous ramparts, then the walled city of the corsair city. Cross the Rance estuary to walk along the Dinard jetty. Before returning to the campsite, make a diversion to Dinan, a city of art and history with its fabulous half-timbered houses. In short, and believe me, there is plenty to do! Places of interest in Brittany After visiting the jewels of the Emerald Coast (Cancale, Saint-Malo, Dinard, Cap Fréhel), another equally beautiful stretch of coastline awaits you in its extension: The Côte de Granit Rose (Côtes-d’armor) dotted with seaside resorts and places of Posh resorts like Perros-Guirec and Pléneuf-Val-André. To immerse yourself in Breton culture, Quimper’s visit is a must. A city of art and history, the capital of Cornouaille is home to an exceptional cultural heritage (Cathedral of Saint-Corentin, Church of Locmaria). Visiting Brittany is also getting lost in the alleys of villages with stone and half-timbered houses like Dinan and Locronan (one of the most beautiful villages in France), ordering a seafood platter on the port of Concarneau or Guilvinec, crossing the Gates of the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly in Lorient, the historic centre of Vannes after eating a pancake with wheat or buckwheat, rent a boat to sail in the Gulf of Morbihan or go around the islands (Glénan, Ouessant, Groix , Belle-Ile-en-Mer), Discover beautiful medieval castles (Janjua, vitreous, ferns). Finally, impossible to leave Brittany without a spa stay in a thalassotherapy center, a stroll in the forest of Brocéliande and a hike on the GR 34, a fabulous route called “customs Trail” that runs along the 2 000 km of Breton coasts.

With the Olympic Winter Games starting tomorrow in Vancouver, we take a moment to consider one Olympian. Her name is Carol Heiss, and after playing second to the marvelous Tenley Albright in several national championships and in the 1956 Games of Cortina d’Ampezzo, beat Miss Albright that year in the World Championships. She finally won her own Olympic Gold Medal for ladies’ figure skating in the 1960 Squaw Valley Games, and won several World championships in the late 1950s. One of that special club of American Gold Medal figure skating ladies, she was a product of the era when the sport was still about figures and less about jumps. Miss Heiss was actually the first female skater to land a double axel. But, then as now, what does a champion do with herself when the contest has been won? Today, with the line blurred between amateur and professional, an Olympic athlete may pick up endorsements and compete professionally as well as in the Olympic venue for as long as her ankles, and her youth, holds out. Back then, once stepping down off the podium, a ladies’ figure skater could either chuck the sport for retirement, or another career (like Tenley Albright, who became a surgeon), or shoot for the traveling ice shows. Or, throw the dice on a big gamble. Carol Heiss, like Sonja Henie before her, skated briefly for Team Hollywood. It was only one movie, and it was “Snow White and the Three Stooges” (1961). Not exactly a four-star film, but it still appeals to kids and people who have a soft spot for the Three Stooges and Olympic figure skaters. She did her double axel jump in this movie, but according to this post on About.com, her solo skating footage was edited out of the movie. The producers thought there was “too much skating.” Have a look at this trailer from the movie. And now, have a look from Carol Heiss’ 1960 free skate program, and see what it was that made her a champion.

Japanese xenophobia should be understood properly prior to jumping to any reactive conclusions. Xenophobia is not really racism, although it can occasionally cross the line in Japan and both are occasionally evidenced. For Japanese society any xenophobia is more of a fear of the unknown and a fear of being overpowered by that which is unknown. In all honesty, many people in Japan are rather intimidated by other countries and also their relatively large people. It may sound silly, but it really does stem from the most basic things like physical size. Due in part to historically taking the offense on xenophobia, the Japanese government has historically made some rather unwise choices internationally. The results of such choices have made the nation feel somewhat guilty and also somewhat worried about belated retaliation from its closer neighbors, in addition to simply feeling defeated. To go from a state of megalomania to a state of apocalyptic defeat is obviously rather shocking and, as a result, Japan is now much more cautious about its role on the world stage. The nation of Japan was also occupied after WWII and essentially had its entire culture exposed before a relatively judgmental Western perspective. Apparently as a result, some people in Japan also seem to fear exposure and being misunderstood or judged for their lifestyles. Many things simply are drastically different in Western and Eastern culture. Japan is even quite unique in Eastern culture. To say one way of doing things is correct and one is incorrect would likely be primarily based on the cultural background of a viewer and thus it would be an inaccurate assessment. There are many things considered normal in most of Western society that are not generally considered acceptable in Japanese society, and also certainly many things in Japanese society which would not be acceptable in most of Western society. It is easy to understand why it could be somewhat more challenging to open up completely if there is a history of being judged for some of the most basic aspects of a society. In addition to concerns about average physical size and a historical tendency for Western cultures to misunderstand and judge Japanese society, there are also basic differences in the general psychology of various societies. Japan has what is most likely the most obedient modern society in the world. There is no modern history of revolution and there are no riots in the streets. People are generally quite polite and Tokyo, although the most populated metropolis in the world, is possibly the safest city for a child to be in at any time of day or night. Purse snatching and the like are practically unheard of and are certainly uncommon. People will stand in herds at a street corner and wait for the light on the crosswalk to change to green, regardless of there not being a car in sight. It is understandable that there could be some concern over people from societies in which the cars don’t even stop at stoplights, as is common even in other parts of Asia. In a way, Japan is like a clock and Japanese society generally seems to like to keep things running like clockwork. Thankfully the introduction and adoption of new ideas is part of what makes has made that clock run so well, and so Japanese society is still quite open to careful introductions. It just isn’t so game for any oversized unhygienic elephants to come trampling through its delicate clockwork.Immobilienmakler Heidelberg Makler Heidelberg Source by Jessica Spinner

Rising country singer-songwriter Austin Jenckes will be bringing his music to the UK for five dates, performing material from his debut album If You Grew Up Like I Did. First via the Nashville Meets London residency -Austin will perform at PizzaExpress Live at 99 High Holborn in London (one of the city’s newest live music venues) on Wednesday 29th May. Austin will then appear at Bush Hall, London, United Kingdom on Thursday 5th September, 2019. He’ll then head North of the border to play The Poetry Club, Glasgow, United Kingdom, on Friday 6th September. After that, Jenckes will come back into England to perform at The Long Road Festival (held from Friday 6th September 2019 to Sunday 8th September 2019 at Stanford Hall at Lutterworth, in Leicestershire). Austin will play the festival on the Sunday on the Southern Sound stage. He will close out his UK dates on Monday 9th September, 2019, where he’ll play The Castle Hotel, Manchester These 5 dates offer a wonderful opportunity to hear this talented and already-respected introspective singer-songwriter in the UK. Jenckes has been praised for his emotionally-intense vocals and his innately strong sense of melody and lyrics: lyrics that seem simple but are powerful, written from his true-to-life perspective — values that run throughout his debut album and come alive in live performance. Rolling Stone Country listed Austin Jenckes as an“Artist You Need To Know” and it’s a further testimony to his luminous talent and growing rep that he’s performed alongside the likes of Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice, The Cadillac Three and Ashley McBryde. He also performed the National Anthem at his hometown Seattle Seahawks Stadium in front of 65,000 people. What’s more, in December 2018, Austin Jenckes was awarded The ASCAP Foundation Harold Adamson Lyric Award in Country: an honour given to those who have demonstrated talent, musical intelligence and a dedication to future generations. Austin Jenckes’ debut album If You Grew Up Like I Did will be released on 31st May on red dot. The Nashville-based, Seattle-area native has already revealed three songs from this anticipated album, including the lead track Fat Kid featuring award-winning artist Lori McKenna who also co-wrote the track with Neil Mason (The Cadillac Three) and the late Andrew Dorff and the previously-released Ride Away, and Never Left Memphis. “I’m just a guy with a guitar singing songs,” the endlessly-humble Jenckes will tell you. However, to hear him perform is to hear the roots of country music brought into the modern age. His ever-growing fanbase speaks to the calibre of the man and his work. Whether playing headline or opening shows, touring with a six-piece band or stage-centre, just the man and his guitar, Jenckes is reminded daily of how just many people have been, and continue to be inspired by his music. “I still don’t feel like I know how to do it completely on purpose,” he says, of his innate talent for penning authentic, sincere and supremely hook-rich songs, “but all I can do is focus on telling my story. “I can’t wait to play my first show in London May 29th at Pizza Express Live and then to come back in September to play headlining shows in Glasgow and Manchester before playing my first UK festival show at The Long Road Festival! I’ve heard so much about how great the audiences in the UK are & about how awesome The Long Road was last year, so it’s exciting to get to come experience it for the first time”. Hear that story and see the man himself first-hand at the UK dates and check out If You Grew Up Like I Did, released later this month along with Austin’s single releases. You’ll be glad you did!

British Values & Our Catholic Ethos The government set out its definition of ‘British Values’ in its ‘Prevent Strategy’ (2011), which was designed to prevent the extremism and religious radicalization of young people. British values are considered by the present government to be democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. The promotion of ‘British values’ is central to Catholic education because British values have their origin in the Christian values of our nation. “We are proud that Catholic schools promote values that are both Catholic and British, including: respect for the individual, democracy, individual liberty, respect, tolerance and inclusiveness. Our schools promote cohesion by serving more ethnically diverse and poorer communities. Catholic schools provide high standards of education which are popular with parents from all social, economic and faith backgrounds.” Paul Barber (Catholic Education Service 15 December 2014). At St Thomas More VC Academy, we recognise not only the importance of helping pupils to flourish academically, but also spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, so they are fully prepared for life in British society and for their role as citizens, able to make the strongest possible contribution to the Common Good of all. We teach the importance of British Values by going much deeper into the meaning of what it means to live a good life, within a framework of Catholic Christian Values. This provides the context and meaning for understanding why British values are important. Our framework for understanding British values draws on the example of Jesus and his welcome and inclusion of all, which is developed in Catholic Social Teaching. At St Thomas More VC Academy we provide an education which focuses on the formation of the whole person and on our vocation and purpose in life. We are guided by our mission statement “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength and love your neighbour as you love yourself" and by the Christian values of honourable purpose (that is, vocation and service), respect, compassion, co-operation and stewardship as we reflect on our place and purpose in the world. We place a significant emphasis on the celebration of individuality and difference within our communities and our calling to work for the Common Good, in the service of others. Our Catholic ethos, which includes explicit reference to Christian and British values, makes a tangible difference to the way we work together and with our wider communities. Within this framework it would be impossible to overlook the government’s view of British values expressed as ‘democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.’ The examples that follow are an indication of some of the many ways we seek to embed British values at St Thomas More VC Academy and should be an indication of our approach rather than an exhaustive list. The Rule of Law The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the School, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout every day, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through assemblies. The curriculum is designed to ensure pupils are taught the values and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service are regular parts of our learning programmes and help reinforce this message. Within St Thomas More VC Academy, pupils are actively encouraged to make independent choices knowing that they are in a safe, secure and supportive environment. As a School we educate and provide boundaries for pupils to make choices safely, through the provision of a safe environment and an empowering education. We encourage pupils to see themselves as unique individuals, able to make a unique contribution to building community. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights, responsibilities and personal freedoms and receive advice about how to exercise these safely, for example through our exploration of E-Safety in ICT. Respect is one of the five core values of our School and is modelled by pupils and staff alike. The School promotes respect for other people and this is reiterated through our classroom and learning environments as well as extra-curricular activities such as sport. In line with our commitment to democracy, pupils are always able to voice their opinions as we foster an environment where they can debate ideas and are safe to disagree with each other. We encourage pupils to substantiate opinions and to realise the value of co-operation and consensus as well as decision making through voting. Our emphasis on ethics, fairness and justice means that we ask our pupils to ensure that they look out for those who might be marginalised and disadvantaged. The development of our approach to teaching and learning across the School develops mutual respect throughout the curriculum and our code of conduct promotes the values of respect and responsibility. The School has taken a very strong stance on social inclusion and anti-bullying through an explicit focus on strategies to enable respect for difference through, for example, reflections on homophobia and other forms of bullying. Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs This is achieved through equipping pupils with the ability to develop positive values, understand their own beliefs and their place in a culturally diverse society. We give our pupils opportunities to experience such diversity within the School community and within the wider community. The emphasis on enterprise, working with others, and learning other languages directly contributes to the appreciation of the perspectives of others on life. Our Religious Studies curriculum follows the teaching of the Church in providing a broad and balanced education, which includes an understanding of and respect for people of other faiths or none and other religions, cultures and lifestyles.

Owen is OFF of his reflux medicine! (Axid) Hooray! We went to see Owen’s GI doctor in late February, and he wanted us to try tapering Owen off of his medicine again. Our first trial was in December, and we were not able to reduce his dose at that time. In Feb., he was taking 3 doses of Axid per day, and we cut out the middle dose. Once we did that, I somehow lost our “routine” and kept forgetting doses – and it never seemed to affect Owen! He continued to improve with his intake of solid food. So we decided to stop the medicine completely, and Owen did okay! His motivation for eating is still low, and he still gags SO easily. But, it seems like he just doesn’t need a ton of food. He gained almost 4 pounds between January and May! His weight is now between the 10th and 25th percentile, which is the highest it has been in his life. His height is proportionate, also between the 10th and 25th percentile. Yeah! We saw his GI doctor again last week, and he was very happy with Owen’s growth! Owen’s speech is still coming along slowly. He has discovered books, and his favorite right now is “Go, Dog. Go!” I think reading is really helping his vocabulary. He loves to point to pictures, and he’ll say the last word of a sentence if you stop and let him finish. Next week is his 2-year-old check up, so we’ll see what his pediatrician thinks. I’m hoping that I don’t have to mention that he still eats baby food. We only buy the high calorie options, and we feed it to him to bulk up his calories – as a side dish along with his meal. He is simply not going to chew and swallow a full meal, no matter how hungry he is. I can see him heading in the right direction (less baby food and more table food), so I’m not concerned. Lord willing, we will only have one more GI visit in July, and then be released from the specialist. I sure hope that we are about to see reflux become a thing of the past – but with Owen, you never can tell! Shee May 10, 2011 Congratulations, I'm glad he is doing so well! June Dees May 10, 2011 great news!!! such a sweet little boy!! Felice May 16, 2011 aww, very good news!! Go Owen!!! Lizzie Apr 18, 2014 My son has never been diagnosed with anything, but now I am seriously considering if something has been missed. He is almost 2 as well and has many of the same symptoms (gagging, no interest in food, still on baby food, ect) Thank you for posting your struggle because it has inspired me to call me pediatrician and see about going to a GI specialist or dietician. Did one of these help more than the others? Thanks!! Post a Comment

Daily Archives: March 12th, 2015 Facebook Training. Get set up to build your custom Audience today. Marketing the right way. Most companies are smart enough to take advantage of all that the social media marketing world has to offer. Unfortunately, only a handful of these companies are ever truly successful at gaining an audience of loyal followers. What contributes to the success? Let’s take a look! Start your marketing campaign by actually setting a business goal. You will ultimately fail with this form of marketing if you don’t know how this marketing strategy can work for you. Don’t experiment unless you know what you want for your company. Create your own strategy with which you approach social media marketing. Consider which social media websites work for your needs the most and ensure that you will be able to create high quality content for your visitors. Listen to the feedback you are getting on your social media profiles. Most company owners don’t have the time or the patience to really pay attention to what people are writing about you. You are setting up for failure if you don’t care what people are saying. Check out your comments section every single day and make it a point to participate in conversations. Make sure you have a clear strategy of how you are going to engage your audience and get them to participate on your profile. It is probably the hardest aspect of social media marketing, but also the one that really gauges how successful you can become. Ensure that you are providing continuous communication to your loyal followers. People will only become interested in your various profiles if they have something new to look forward to. Create a plan on which websites you use and when you will communicate with your audience. Use each social media website for the things that they are good for. For example, Twitter is a great platform for calls to action, but a poor way to engage your customers in a long conversation. Before jumping ahead to marketing online, compile a list of social media websites you are going to use and what their positive characteristics are. Make sure that you provide your visitors with content that they are going to find useful and valuable. If you don’t post expert content, people are going to stop coming to check on your profile. It is important that you give something to your audience for paying attention to you. Make it clear what it is you are selling or promoting on your profile. People will more than likely visit your pages, but they won’t stick around unless they have a clear understanding what they’re looking at. This is why it’s important that the name of your company and your profile pictures have something in them that let people make a connection between what you do. Many companies have found success by using social media marketing. It is not only the most affordable marketing platform, but also the one that yields the best results. Each time you post something, you have the potential of gaining millions of customers worldwide! - Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window) - Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)

RICHMOND, Ind. — Effective at 7 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, Reid Health is reinstating a greatly restricted visitation policy on its main campus and in physician offices because of a surge in COVID-19 patients that is keeping the hospital on critical bed status — and breaking records for patients being treated with the virus. “We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we take these steps to reduce in every way we can this explosion of COVID infections in our community. We must protect our staff in order to continue serving the healthcare needs of our community.” said Craig Kinyon, Reid Health President/CEO. The hospital hit a new high of 92 patients over the weekend in COVID containment areas, and that number was still at 91 Tuesday afternoon. He said exceptions will be made in specific situations, such as end-of-life, in the Family Birthing Center and for outpatient surgery patients. “But in almost all cases, we will restrict visitation to virtual platforms, such as smart phones and tablets,” Kinyon added. Reducing traffic to and from the campus helps further reduce risk of spread of COVID-19, said Kinyon. “While the hospital is one of the safest places to be, there is no reason to increase our susceptibility to spread of the virus from people who do not have to be on campus,” he said. The restrictions include: A “No Visitor” policy with exceptions for certain situations such as end of life, the Family Birthing Center, minor patients seeking care in the Emergency Department, or outpatient surgery. No visitors to the following retail areas: Ginkgo Boutique, Espresso Bar, Café at Twelve Hundred in Richmond, Connors Post Café in Connersville, plus the ATM and vending machines on the main campus in Connersville. Healthworks in Connersville will limit capacity based on state guidelines on county color-coding. Current capacity is 25 since Fayette County is “red.” Kinyon said the hospital has been at critical capacity for several weeks, and every step is being taken to avoid having to reduce any other health services as was done in the spring.

A lot of the western world have stones in their gallbladders (cholelithiasis) but for the most part they just grumble along with no trouble at all. - Cholelithiasis – Gallstones just hanging out, not causing any problems - Biliary colic – happens after a fatty meal, the GB contracts and pushes stones into the cystic duct but when the duct relaxes the stone rolls back into the GB. The pain is entirely visceral and generally lasts <6h. There should be no fever or chills. - Cholecystitis – inflammation of the GB. It’s biliary colic that just doesn’t go away. The pain lasts longer than 6h and is usually associated with nausea/vomiting, fever and right upper quadrant pain. - Choledocholithiasis – gallstones in the common bile duct. Usually secondary to cholelithiasis, but can be a primary stone in cases of bile stasis or recurrent infection of the biliary tree. Usually have abnormalities in liver enzymes and pain but no fever. The 2 major complications are 1) Cholangitis and 2) Acute pancreatitis. - Cholangitis – infection/inflammation of the biliary tree (infected bile or gallstone), secondary to an impacted stone or stricture(s). Do an ultrasound. Start antibiotics (common bugs are a mix of gram +/- and anaerobes = E. coli, enterococcus, bactericides). Ciprofloxacin or a combination of ampicillin, ceftazimide and metronidazole. Make sure that the person receives some fluid resuscitation to help with the hypoperfusion Charcot’s triad: fever, RUQ pain, jaundice Reynold’s pentad: hypoperfusion, decreased level of consciousness (SHOCK!!!) - Biliary leaks - Liver abscess - Infected choledochal cysts - Mirizzi syndrome - Right lower lobe pneumonia/empyema |Biliary Colic||Cholecystitis||Choledocholithiasis||Cholangitis||Gallbladder Pancreatitis| |Treatment||Cholecystectomy||Cholecystectomy||ERCP +/- Cholecystectomy||Fluid resuscitation ERCP + Cholecystectomy||Fluid resuscitation ERCP + Cholecystectomy|

banner by hauntes The story of this post, is that it’s two stories. Two stories which are also one story--a story that was never told, but which we are talking about. In this post. And that’s all the Perd-speak I can muster right now. One of the biggest plot points of this past season was the so-called “scandal” of Leslie’s relationship with Ben. While the show did a good job of showing us the personal side of that relationship, they only ever hinted at what happened when that relationship went public. That’s what this week of Government Shutdown is all about. As a community we need to pull together and address the two huge gaps in the Leslie/Ben “scandal” plot, and both of them have to do with “breaking news.” 1. How did Leslie and Ben break the news to their friends and family, and how did their friends and family react? 2. How/When/Where did the news of the “scandal” break in the prolific Pawnee media? Who broke the story? How did famous local news personalities cover the story? How long were Leslie and Ben dragged through the mud? How did William and Elizabeth try to manage the news before quitting? Exactly how did Leslie drop to that dreaded 1%? These are the questions we’ll be addressing this week. In this post you may: -Discuss any thoughts you have on the two big plot gaps listed above -Discuss the Pawnee news media in general -Prompt fics or other fanworks related to Leslie and Ben “breaking the news” to friends and family. Prompt fics about the news breaking in the Pawnee media. Or prompt any other fanworks related to the Pawnee media and its colorful personalities. Here’s the schedule for the rest of the week: Tonight: Episode rewatch/community discussion 2.01 - Pawnee Zoo 3.05 - Media Blitz 4.03 - Born and Raised extra credit: 2.19 - Park Safety extra credit: 1.03 - The Reporter Friday: Fanwork Challenge! Monday: Rec post Wednesday: Wrap-up post See you there!

Generally called "the post office" in India, it is the most widely distributed postal system in the world. It is involved in delivering mails, remitting money by money orders, accepting deposits under Small Savings Schemes, providing life insurance cover under Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) and providing retail services like bill collection, sale of forms, etc. The DoP also acts as an agent for Government of India in discharging other services for citizens such as old age pension payments and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) wage disbursement. With 155,015 Post Offices, India Post has the most widely distributed postal network in the world. The country has been divided into 23 postal circles, each circle headed by a Chief Postmaster General. Each circle is divided into regions, headed by a Postmaster General and comprising field units known as Divisions. These divisions are further divided into subdivisions. In addition to the 23 circles, there is a base circle to provide postal services to the Armed Forces of India headed by a Director General. One of the highest post offices in the world is in Hikkim, Himachal Pradesh operated by India Post at a height of 15,500 ft (4,700 m). - 1 History - 2 Postage-stamp history - 3 Revenue - 4 PIN codes - 5 Project Arrow - 6 Services - 7 References - 8 Further reading - 9 External links Posts and the British Raj (1858–1947) The British Raj was instituted in 1858, when the rule of the East India Company was transferred to the Crown. By 1861, there were 889 post offices handling nearly 43 million letters and over 4.5 million newspapers annually. The first superintendent of the post office was appointed in 1870 and based in Allahabad and in 1876, British India became the first non-founding member of the General Postal Union. A number of acts were enacted during the British Raj to expand and regulate Posts and Telegraphs service: - The Government Savings Bank Act 1873 (5 of 1873), passed by the legislature 28 January 1873, was enacted in 1881. On 1 April 1882, Post Office Savings Banks opened throughout India (except in the Bombay Presidency). In Madras Presidency, it was limited; in the Bengal Presidency, no POSBs were established in Calcutta or Howrah. - Postal life insurance began on 1 February 1884 as a welfare measure for the employees of the Posts & Telegraphs Department as Government of India dispatch No. 299 dated 18 October 1882 to the Secretary of State. - Telegraph Act, 1885 (Indian Telegraph Act) - The Indian Post Office Act 1898 (6 of 1898), passed by the legislature on 22 March 1898, became effective on 1 July 1898 regulating postal service. It was preceded by Act III of 1882 and Act XVI of 1896. - The Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act 1933 (17 of 1933) The world's first official airmail flight took place in India on 18 February 1911, a journey of 18 kilometres (11 mi) lasting 27 minutes. Henri Pequet, a French pilot, carried about 15 kilograms (33 lb) of mail (approximately 6,000 letters and cards) across the Ganges from Allahabad to Naini; included in the airmail was a letter to King George V of the United Kingdom. India Post inaugurated a floating post office in August 2011 at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir. Telegraphy and telephony made their appearance as part of the postal service before becoming separate departments. The Posts and Telegraphs Departments merged in 1914, dividing again on 1 January 1985. Post-independence (After 1947) Since Indian independence in 1947, the postal service continues to function on a nationwide basis, providing a variety of services. The structure of the organization has the directorate at its apex; below it are circle offices, regional offices, the superintendent's offices, head post offices, sub-post offices and branch offices. In April 1959, the Indian Postal Department adopted the motto "Service before help"; it revised its logo in September 2008. First adhesive stamps in Asia The first adhesive postage stamps in Asia were issued in the Indian district of Scinde in July 1852 by Bartle Frere, chief commissioner of the region. Frere was an admirer of Rowland Hill, the English postal reformer who had introduced the Penny Post. The Scinde stamps became known as "Scinde Dawks"; "Dawk" is the Anglicised spelling of the Hindustani word Dak or ("post"). These stamps, with a value of 1⁄2-anna, were in use until June 1866. The first all-India stamps were issued on 1 October 1854. Stamps issued by the East India Company The volume of mail moved by the postal system increased significantly, doubling between 1854 and 1866 and doubling again by 1871. The Post Office Act XIV introduced reforms by 1 May 1866 to correct some of the more obvious postal-system deficiencies and abuses. Postal-service efficiencies were also introduced. In 1863, lower rates were set for "steamer" mail to Europe at (six annas, eight pies for a 1⁄2-ounce letter). Lower rates were also introduced for inland mail. New regulations removed special postal privileges enjoyed by officials of the East India Company. Stamps for official use were prepared and carefully accounted for, to combat abuses by officials. In 1854 Spain had printed special stamps for official communications, but in 1866 India was the first country to adopt the expedient of overprinting "Service" on postage stamps and "Service Postage" on revenue stamps. This innovation was later widely adopted by other countries. Shortages developed, so stamps also had to be improvised. Some "Service Postage" overprinted rarities resulted from abrupt changes in postal regulations. New designs for the four-anna and six-anna-eight-pie stamps were issued in 1866. Nevertheless, there was a shortage of stamps to meet the new rates. Provisional six-anna stamps were improvised by cutting the top and bottom from a current foreign-bill revenue stamp and overprinting "Postage". India was the first country in the Commonwealth to issue airmail stamps. India attained independence on 15 August 1947. Thereafter, the Indian Posts and Telegraph Department embarked on a broad-based policy for the issuance of stamps. The first new stamp was issued by independent India on 21 November 1947. It depicts the Indian flag with the patriots' slogan, Jai Hind ("long live India"), at the top right-hand corner. The stamp was valued at three and one-half annas. A memorial to Mahatma Gandhi was issued 15 August 1948 on the first anniversary of independence. One year later a definitive series appeared, depicting India's broad cultural heritage (primarily Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh and Jain temples, sculptures, monuments and fortresses). A subsequent issue commemorated the beginning of the Republic of India on 26 January 1950. Definitives included a technology-and-development theme in 1955, a series depicting a map of India in 1957 (denominated in naya paisa—decimal currency) and a 1965 series with a wide variety of images. The old inscription "India Postage" was replaced in 1962 with "भारत INDIA", although three stamps (issued from December 1962 to January 1963) carried the earlier inscription. India has printed stamps and postal stationery for other countries, mostly neighbours. Countries which have had stamps printed in India include Burma (before independence), Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Portugal and Ethiopia. The country has issued definitive and commemorative stamps. Six definitive series on India's heritage and progress in a number of fields have been issued. The seventh series, with a theme of science and technology, began in 1986. Between independence and 1983, 770 stamps were issued. The following table shows income generated by the postal department. |Year||Net expenditure (in crores)||Revenue (in crores)||Surplus/Deficit (in crores)| The Postal Index Number (PIN, or PIN code) is a six-digit code of post-office numbering introduced on 15 August 1972. There are nine PIN regions in the country; the first eight are geographical regions, and the ninth is reserved for the Army Postal Service (APS). The India Posts PIN code system is organized in the following way: - The first digit indicates the region. - The first two digits indicate the sub-region (or postal circle). - The first three digits indicate a sorting district. - The last three digits indicate the delivery post office. The PIN for an address may be found on the Postal Service website. There are total of 19,101 PIN codes covering 154,725 Post Offices in India, with the exception of the Army Postal Service as of 2014. Project Arrow was launched in April 2008. The project plans to upgrade post offices in urban and rural areas, improving service and appearance into a vibrant and responsive organization and to make a visible and positive difference.The project aims to create an effective, friendly environment for staff and customers, providing secure IT services and improving mail delivery, remittances (electronic and manual) and postal-savings plans. Core areas for improvement are branding, information technology, human resources and infrastructure. The project to improve service has been implemented in more than 23,500 post offices, and 'Look & Feel ' improvements have been made in 2,940 post offices. The Department of Posts received the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration during 2008–09 for "Project Arrow – Transforming India Post" on 21 April 2010. Multipurpose counter machines with computers were introduced in post offices in 1991 to improve customer service and increase staff productivity. 25,000 departmental post offices out of 25,464 were computerized between as of 2011–2012. In 2012, a plan costing ₹1,877.2 crore (US$260 million) was formulated to computerize rural post offices. A ₹4,909 crore (US$680 million) project for computerization and networking of 1.55 lakh post offices across the country is being currently implemented by the government. Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the project involves a central server enabled integrated, modular and scalable solution for all operations of the Department of Posts including Core banking and Insurance solutions in all departmental post offices. The first philatelic Society in India was founded in Calcutta on 6 March 1897 to service postage-stamp collections. Function include design, printing and distribution of special or commemorative postage stamps, definitive postage stamps and items of postal stationery, promotion of philately, conduct of philatelic examinations at the national level, participation in international exhibitions and monitoring exhibitions at the state, regional and district levels and maintenance of the National Philatelic Museum. Philatelic bureaus were established in head post offices located at circle headquarters and at district-capital head post offices (as necessary). There are 68 philately bureaus and 1111 philatelic counters, including all head post offices (Mukhya Dak Ghars) in the country as of 31 March 2011.:44 A domestic philatelic deposit-account system was introduced on 1 August 1965 at all philatelic bureaus. Customers are given priority in purchasing commemorative or special-issue stamps, first-day covers and information sheets soon after their issue by opening a deposit account at any philatelic bureau. The number of philately deposit-accountholders grew from 23,905 in 1999–2000 to 168,282 in 2006–2007 and 183,202 in 2008–2009. Four philatelic Bureaus—the Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Parliament Street, New Delhi GPOs are authorized to sell United Nations stamps. A quarterly philatelic magazine, Philapost, was launched in 2008. The Department of Post has also developed software for philatelic inventory management, known as "Philsim". It is used for all activities relating to philately, including forecasting, indenting, invoicing, monitoring supply and demand and recording sales and revenue for commemorative stamps and other philatelic products at philately bureaus and counters (and definitive stamps and stationery at circle stamp depots and head post offices). The National Philatelic Museum of India was inaugurated on 6 July 1968 in New Delhi. It had its beginnings at a meeting of the Philatelic Advisory Committee on 18 September 1962. Besides a large collection of India Postage stamps designed, printed and issued, it has a large collection of Indian states (confederate and feudatory), early essays, proofs and colour trials, a collection of Indian stamps used abroad, early Indian postcards, postal stationery and thematic collections. The museum was renovated in 2009 with more exhibits, a philatelic bureau and postal objects (such as Victorian post boxes). The Department of Posts inaugurated the National Philatelic Museum on 11 July 2011. It exhibits rare postage stamps from around the world and provides a venue for philatelists to exhibit their collections. Army Postal Service The Army Postal Service (APS), functions as a government-operated military mail system in India. A primary feature of Army Postal Service systems is that normally they are subsidized to ensure that military mail posted between duty stations abroad and the home country (or vice versa) does not cost the sender any more than normal domestic mail traffic. In some cases, Indian military personnel in a combat zone may post letters and/or packages to the home country for free, while in others, senders located in a specific overseas area may send military mail to another military recipient, also located in the same overseas area, without charge. Electronic Indian Postal Order The Electronic Indian Postal Order (e-IPO) was introduced on 22 March 2013, initially only for citizens living abroad. The postal orders can be used for online payment of fees for access to information under the RTI Act of 2005. The service was expanded to include all Indian citizens on 14 February 2014. Postal Life insurance Postal Life Insurance (PLI) was introduced on 1 February 1884 with the express approval of the Secretary of State (for India) to Her Majesty, the Queen Empress of India. It was essentially a welfare scheme for the benefit of Postal employees in 1884 and later extended to the employees of Telegraph Department in 1888. In 1894, PLI extended insurance cover to female employees of P & T Department at a time when no other insurance company covered female lives. It is the oldest life insurer in this country. There was over 6.4 million policies active as on 31 March 2015 with a sum assured of ₹130,745 crore (US$18 billion). Premium income of PLI for the year 2014-15 was ₹6,053.2 crore (US$840 million). It covers employees of Central and State Governments, Central and State Public Sector Undertakings, Universities, Government aided Educational Institutions, Nationalized Banks, Local bodies, autonomous bodies, joint ventures having a minimum of 10% Govt./PSU stake, credit co-operative societies etc. and staff of the Defence services and Para-Military forces. Apart from single insurance policies, Postal Life Insurance also manages a Group Insurance scheme for the Extra Departmental Employees (Gramin Dak Sevaks) of the Department of Posts. It was extended to all rural residents on 24 March 1995. Policies for government employees include Santhosh (endowment assurance), Suraksha (whole-life assurance), Suvidha (convertible whole-life assurance), Sumangal (anticipated endowment policy) and Yugal Suraksha (joint life endowment assurance). India Post started Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) for rural public in 1995. RPLI include Gram Santosh (endowment assurance), Gram Suraksha (whole-life assurance), Gram Suvidha (convertible whole-life assurance), Gram Sumangal (anticipated endowment assurance) and Gram Priya. The post office offers a number of savings plans, including Recurring Deposit Account, Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA), National Savings Certificates (NSC), Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP), the Public Provident Fund, savings-bank accounts, monthly-income plans, senior-citizens' savings plans and time-deposit accounts. As on 31 March 2015, Post Office savings bank had a customer base of 330.3 million. Its vast network has been used to disburse payments under National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). In 2013 it was revealed that the Indian postal service had formulated plans to enter the banking industry after RBI guidelines for the issuance of new banking licenses were released. Eventually they are planning to open a Post Bank of India, an independent banking service. In August 2015, the Reserve Bank of India had granted in-principle approval to 11 applicants to set up payments banks, including India Post. As of 29 February 2016, 18,231 post offices are utilizing Core Banking Solutions (CBS) in 9583 Post Offices. ATMs are installed at 576 Post office locations and Debit Cards issued to Post Office Savings Bank customers. Core Insurance Solution (CIS) for Postal Life Insurance (PLI) is rolled out in 808 Head Post Offices and corresponding 24000+Sub Post Offices. In September 2017, it was announced that by 2018 all of the 1.55 lakh post offices and every postman and grameen dak sevak will be equipped with a device which will provide full range of payment options that the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) plans to provide. On 31 August 2018 the India Post Payments Bank was inaugurated by prime minister narendra modi. The postal department is focused on riding the e-commerce boom across the country from creating dedicated corridors for delivery to training postmen to handle big volumes. There is a concerted effort to become more connected digitally. A collaboration between the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) and the Department of Posts has enabled the computation of consumer-price indices for rural areas. These statistics were previously unobtainable, due to problems of remoteness and scale. The agreement authorises the postal service to collect data on prices paid for selected consumer goods. In February 2011, MoSPI published its first Consumer Price Index (CPI) and All-India Consumer Price Index. The information has since been published monthly, based on data available from 1,181 villages across the country. The boom in e-commerce and the surging number of cash-on-delivery consignments has led India Post to partner with major e-commerce portals for delivering pre-paid as well as Cash On Delivery (COD) parcels. The deliveries are primarily directed at tier-II towns, and parts of the rural heartland, where India Post has unparalleled reach. It has also set up 57 delivery centers to handle the e-commerce traffic. The postal department’s revenues by ways of COD consignments from e-commerce majors have more than doubled in the first nine months of fiscal year 2015-16 at ₹10 billion (US$140 million), up from ₹5 billion (US$70 million) during the whole of 2014-15, and just ₹1 billion (US$14 million) in 2013-14. According to the Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Ravi Shankar Prasad, revenue of India Post from such deliveries would go up to ₹15 billion (US$210 million) in the year 2015-16.

A group of mobile phone users protested against the high costs and low quality of Egyptian telecommunications companies’ services by turning off their phones between 5pm and 10pm on Thursday night. On a Facebook event for the boycott, spearheaded by the “Internet Revolution” movement, over 100,000 people said they were “going”. In a statement released on their page, the group claimed that the boycott was effective. The group added that this act of protest was held against the “exploitation of telecommunications companies”. The companies are currently over-priced, and consumers should begin dictating prices, the group said. “This will not just stop at this boycott,” the video statement said. “These companies pay a lot for their Ramadan commercials. We will make sure this a month of losses for them.” The “Internet Revolution” movement was founded in 2013 to oppose “the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority, the Minister of Communication and Information and Technology, and internet companies”, and to achieve “justice in Egypt online”.

Several times each month I get a call from a local college student asking me questions about a crime that he or she has just been charged with. Most of the crimes are minor misdemeanors; shoplifting, trespassing or being a minor in possession of alcohol. Some of the charges are more serious such as assault and battery, drug possession or drug distribution. Very few of these kids have criminal records and almost all of them will continue not to have a criminal record if they are properly represented. The problem is that most of them do not want an effective lawyer. They want to represent themselves. The reason is two-fold. First, they do not have enough money to hire a lawyer. Second, they are afraid of asking their parents for the money because they don’t want them finding out what they did. As explained in this article this is a big mistake. Most of the Crimes College Students Are Charged With Can Be Resolved at a Clerk Magistrate Hearing The large majority of charges that college students face are misdemeanors. Misdemeanors not committed in the presence of police officers do not result in arrests. They result in the defendant getting a summons for a Clerk Magistrate Hearing. This is s civil proceeding. At the hearing the police office or a representative from his department tells a clerk magistrate a summary of the facts constituting the crime. If probable cause is demonstrated the clerk magistrate then has the right to issue a criminal complaint. However, the clerk can also hold the complaint meaning that you will not have to face a judge. An experienced lawyer should represent you at this proceeding to ensure that no complaint issues. If you represent yourself it is likely that a criminal complaint will issue. Then, your problems become worse. Lawyers Usually Charge Less for Clerk’s Hearings Than They Do to Represent You at Arraignment for a Crime Most Massachusetts criminal defense lawyers charge between $1,000 and $1,500 for a clerk’s hearing. On the other hand, no matter what the crime charged you will likely have to pay more for a lawyer to represent you if a complaint issues. The reason is simple. A clerk magistrate hearing is a short proceeding. You get your result that day and don’t have to go back to court. Conversely, an arraignment is the beginning of the criminal process. Someone who is arraigned is usually compelled to return to court on several occasions. As a consequence, lawyers charge more for this than for the clerk’s hearing. Summons for Arraignment Even if you receive a summons for an arraignment getting a lawyer to represent you is imperative. Once you are arraigned you get a pcf number. This signifies that you have been involved in the system. Sometimes a lawyer can avoid arraignment by betting the case dismissed or getting you into a diversion program. There is no need to take a chance if you don’t have to. Parents Are Usually Supportive You might not believe this but most parents will be very supportive to you when you are in this type of predicament. Remember, your parents were kids once too. They understand that today’s rules are less forgiving than when they were kids. They will help you. They will pay for your lawyer or at a minimum lend you the money necessary to properly defend your case. Clerk Magistrate Hearing Defense We cannot even begin to count the number of cases we have won at the clerk’s hearing stage. Don’t represent yourself. Call us at 617-263-6800. We can help you with your case.

An die Deutschen by Friedrich Holderlin Never mock the child when the silly creature Thinks himself so glorious and big sitting on his wooden horse, O my good friends, we too are Poor in deed and rich in thought! But will the deed perhaps emerge from thought, Fully fledged and inspired, like a flash from the clouds? Does the fruit follow the quiet written word As it follows dark leaves of the grove? And the people’s silence, is it celebration Before the feast, the fear that announces god? O seize me, dear friends, so I’ll Pay for these blasphemous words. Too long, too long I’ve strayed like a layman In this emerging workshop of the sculpting spirit, Only what blooms do I see, What he’s planting I don’t. And its sweet to guess at this, yet a sorrow as well, And I’ve spent too many years already Lost in mortal, senseless love, Doubting, always moved in his presence, He who from his loving soul always brings His constant work nearer to me, smiles At this mortal man where I lose heart, And ripens the pure depth of life. O Creator, O when, genius of our Volk, When will you wholly appear, soul of the Fatherland, That I may bow more deeply, That my quietest string Might fall silent before you, that I, ashamed, A flower of night, O heavenly day, might End before you in joy, When all of them with whom I used to mourn, when our cities grow Bright and open, awake, full of purer fire, And the mountains of the German Lands become the Mountains of the Muses As the glorious one once were, Pindus and Helicon, And Parnassus, and under The Fatherland’s golden sky the spiritual joy Gleams free and clear all around. All too limited is the time of life, We observe and count out our numbers of years, But has a mortal eye Observed the years of a Nation? When your soul ever longing, soars Beyond its time, you linger in grief On freezing shores With your own and don’t know them, And as for the future ones, the promised ones, Where, where do you glimpse them that you might once Again find a warm and friendly hand And be heard by a single simple soul? The halls, poor seer, have given no echo For years, longing your eyes grow dim And you slump down in sleep, When he saw him,

A fun tag game for grades K-5. Submitted by Bill Riley and Dave Wade, Massachusetts. Bill is the 2001 Eastern District Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year. Background: In our school district we use an integrated approach to instruction. We believe that children learn best by active participation in activities which involve a wide variety of experiences. Through visual art, music, and physical education, an “integrated arts program” reinforces and expands the basic curriculum concepts. By designing and implementing activities that engage the visual, auditory, kinesthetic and perceptual abilities of our students, we hope to provide the opportunity for each of them to make real connections between the many seemingly separate parts of their education. In so doing, our students will learn to approach problems creatively and to apply abstract concepts in exciting ways both inside and outside the classroom. The following is an instructional game we play to help reinforce the general theme of desert ecology/habitats. We call it “The Coyote”s Capture.” Equipment: Parachutes, hockey nets, mats, etc. Set-Up: Before starting the game, introduce the class to the “desert habitat” set-up in the gym. Use the parachute as a giant rock for scorpions, snakes and lizards to hide under. Mats can be the burrows for prairie dogs or gophers. Use a hockey net (or other suitable objects) with a parachute draped over it as the coyotes” den. Have the students identify the areas where the animals live: den – coyote; under rocks – scorpions, snakes, or lizards; holes or burrows – prairie dogs or gophers. How We Play It: This is a tag activity. Select three or four students to be the coyotes and send them to the coyotes’ den to start the game. The rest of the students are either snakes, scorpions, lizards or prairie dogs and begin the game by hiding under giant rocks (parachutes) or standing on the mats. On the teacher’s command, the coyotes will “hunt” the other animals and capture them by tagging. Once an animal is tagged, he goes to the coyotes” den, where he can escape through a secret passage in the back. Once free, he rejoins the game. Constantly change the coyotes to give everyone a chance to be a coyote. Have fun!

The Thunderbolt version of LaCie's Little Big Disk comes in three varieties. Two of them contain hard disks, but this one packs solid-state drives. There are two inside, pre-configured as a striped RAID array for a total capacity of 240GB. Although that pales in comparison to the less costly hard disk models, the pairing of Thunderbolt with even faster storage is an exciting proposition. LaCie quotes read speeds up to 480MB/s, around 290MB/s faster than the hard disk versions, and write speeds up to 245MB/s, which, although less jaw-dropping, is still a respectable boost of 55MB/s. Our tests revealed a pleasant surprise: LaCie's figures are too conservative. It achieved 502.7MB/s when reading such files, and 256.7MB/s when writing them. Speeds tailed off for small files under 1MB, but the low of 24.2MB/s is respectable for them. However, the Little Big Disk is really aimed at apps that require the ability to sustain high speeds when handling large files such as high-spec video, and it shines at this. The Little Big Disk boasts a second Thunderbolt port for daisy-chaining other devices. So, connecting it to a MacBook doesn't forfeit the ability to work more comfortably with a second display. Thunderbolt can deliver 10W of power to a device, but the drive requires an external power supply. It adds roughly a third of the drive's volume again, which isn't much. It's more irritating to carry another bulky three-pronged UK plug. The drive's metal body is sturdy. It weighs 650g, or just under half a 13-inch MacBook Air. The ridged sides are intended to dissipate heat, but it was only lukewarm after copying 100GB to the drive. The fan, though, emitted a noticeable high pitch about halfway through. Don't forget to add the £35 cost of Apple's Thunderbolt cable, which isn't bundled. But if you need and can afford this sort of performance when away from your desk, that isn't going to hold you back. Nor should it.

ObjectWatch Newsletter: The Elephant That Wasn’t There: "The Elephant That Wasn’t There. This issue reports on Microsoft’s major Tech-Ed 2005 conference in Orlando earlier this month. This was the conference at which Microsoft laid out its strategy for redefining Corporate IT by directly challenging You-Know-Who. Or maybe you don’t, because Microsoft never mentioned the company that is now its primary target for oblivion. Don’t miss this unique perspective on this important conference. Note: PDF only (we are experimenting with a new format)." "So, for the first time in Microsoft history, every product that is relevant to IT is being lined up in a cohesive and coordinated attack on IBM. Even the dates of the product releases are timed together. Paul Flessner, Senior Vice President of Server Applications, announced in his keynote that the triumvirate of BizTalk 2006, SQL Server 2005, and Visual Studio 2005 will all be formally launched at the same time, during the week of November 7. A unified launch date of three independent products represents a coordination of effort that is entirely without precedent at Microsoft. Apparently, they are taking the elephant seriously." More insightful analysis from Roger Sessions.

The SDC2130 motor controller from Roboteq, Inc can directly drive two DC motors up to 20Amps each at up to 50Volts, or one motor up to 40Amps. The new controller is targeted at designers of industrial automation systems, mobile robots, mechatronics, or any other medium power motor control application. The controller accepts commands from an analog joystick, standard R/C radio, USB or RS232 interface, and can switch automatically from one mode to the other. An additional connector is provided for interfacing directly to a miniature 2.4GHz spread-spectrum RC receiver. The SDC2130 incorporates a Basic Language Interpreter capable of executing over 50,000 Basic instructions per second. This feature can be used to write scripts for adding custom functions, or for developing automated systems without the need for an external PLC or microcomputer. The controller's two channels can be operated independently or combined to set the direction and rotation of a vehicle by coordinating the motors on each side (tank-like steering). The motors may be operated in open or closed loop speed or position modes with a 1 kHz update rate. The SDC2130 includes inputs for two Quadrature Encoders up for precise speed and traveled distance measurement. The SDC2130 features intelligent current sensing that will automatically limit the power output in all load conditions. The controller also includes protection against overheat, stall, and short circuits. The controller is conservatively rated at 20A per channel or 40A in the single channel version. Using very low RDSon MOSFETs, the controller will generate only 16W of heat at full power. The SDC2130 is housed in a compact 70mm x 60mm, board-level, open frame design. The board comes equipped with an aluminum bottom plate that ensures sufficient heat dissipation for operation without a fan in most applications. Additional cooling can be achieved by mounting the board and its bottom plate directly against a metallic chassis. The controller includes up to 4 analog, 6 digital, and 4 pulse inputs. Two 1A digital outputs are provided for activating, lights, valves, brakes or other accessories. The controller’s operation can be optimized using nearly 80 configurable parameters, such as programmable acceleration or deceleration, amps limits, operating voltage range, use of I/O, and more. A free PC utility is available for configuring, tuning, monitoring and exercising the motor. The controller can be reprogrammed in the field with the latest features by downloading new operating firmware from Roboteq’s web site. The SDC2130 is rated 30V and is available now to customers worldwide at $175 in single quantities, complete with cable and PC-based configuration software. Product information and software can be downloaded from the company’s web site at www.roboteq.com. Toni McConnel can be reached at Toni@TechRite-Associates.com.

Q: Some calligraphers write the Exalted Name over the back of the cars which are subjected to be covered in dirt. Please, give us a Fatwa on that so that we may know the truth. A: It is not permissible for calligraphers, painters or others to write the Exalted Name of Allah or one of His beautiful Names and Attributes on the back of the car or whatsoever. Similarly, the owner of the car is not permitted to do that under any pretext, such as decoration, seeking blessing, using it as a means of reminding and admonition or for any other purposes the common and ignorant people think of. This is an act of Bid`ah (innovation in religion) that has no origin in the Qur’an or Sunnah, and Allah does not make it an act of worship. Moreover, writing Qur’an in that way entails insult to the Names and Attributes of Allah and not keeping them above inappropriate handling. Perhaps, this leads the person to Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) when he uses it as an amulet that brings about good and wards off evil merely by writing it. Allah does not teach us his Names and Attributes to be written on sets, notices or cars. Had this been permissible, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) would have guided us to it. Rather, Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) revealed His Names and Attributes to inform His slaves of Him so that they affirm them as He revealed in the Qur’an or to His Messenger (peace be upon him) and believe in all perfection and majesty they convey. Muslims should also give Allah His due praise and supplicate to Him in easy and hard times by virtue of His Names and Attributes. Every Muslim must believe in these Names, realize them in their creed and work and keep them in letter and spirit. A Muslim should attribute them to Allah properly without Tahrif (distortion of the meaning), Ta`til (denial of Allah’s Attributes), Tamthil (likening Allah’s Attributes to those of His Creation), Takyif (questioning Allah’s Attributes) or Tashbih (comparison), and guard their sanctity against abuse and inappropriate things. Allah (Exalted be He) says, And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allâh, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do. (Surah Al-A’raf 7:180) May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

Archived News for Industry Professionals - November, 2014 The Federal Government has revised its Fair and Lawful Building Sites Code, which could be the key to withholding infrastructure money from the new Victorian Government. A new rollout map for the latest version of the National Broadband Network (NBN) is on the way – the most recent chapter in a long-running quest to improve Australia’s internet. BHP Billiton is putting pressure on its suppliers to take cuts of up to 25 per cent so the major miner can save some money, and analysts say others will follow. The Government-funded NICTA (National ICT Australia) is working on a new mobile app to help consumers and small businesses frustrated by delivery and payment delays.

CEC lineman help in Mo. power-restoration effort | Community Spirit (KFVS) - Citizens Electric linemen were dispatched this week to three fellow electric cooperatives in mid-Missouri that were coping with widespread outages after being socked with heavy, wet snow and ice recently. On Tuesday, four linemen and two trucks were sent to Three Rivers Electric Cooperative, which serves more than 21,000 members living in parts of seven counties to the south and east of Jefferson City. CEC crews helped with the restoration effort for two days. Early Wednesday morning, four more linemen and two trucks set out for Fayette to help Howard Electric Cooperative crews restore power in HEC’s service territory to the north and west of Columbia. CEC officials anticipated a two- or three-day stay there. CEC said they received a request for additional assistance Thursday morning and sent the crews, who had been helping Three Rivers Electric, to Co-Mo Electric Cooperative, which provides power to members living north of the Lake of the Ozarks in parts of Cooper, Moniteau and Morgan counties. As of Wednesday evening, about 9,000 of Co-Mo’s 31,000 members were without electricity, and CEC crews were expecting to stay two or three days. At the peak of the outages, CEC said about 55,000 homes were without power in Missouri, with Co-Mo being the hardest hit area, according to the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives. Central Missouri Rural Electric in Sedalia, Osage Valley Electric in Butler, West Central Electric in Higginsville, Callaway Electric in Fulton, Farmers Electric in Chillicothe, Macon Electric in Macon and Southwest Electric in Bolivar were also affected. Citizens Electric’s territory in Ste. Genevieve, Perry and Cape Girardeau counties were spared from any significant outages during the winter storms. AMEC, of which CEC is a member, coordinates the relief effort for the co-ops that were not as fortunate. “We’re always happy to send a few guys to help a fellow cooperative that is in crisis. Actually, one of the principles we operate by is ‘cooperation among cooperatives.’ So we know when we’re in trouble, they’ll be here to help us, too. That’s part of being in the cooperative family,” said Citizens CEO Van Robinson. According to CEC, they are reimbursed for any costs incurred during the cooperative-relief effort. Citizens Electric serves nearly 27,000 members and has the largest power load of any co-op in the state. Copyright 2013 KFVS. All rights reserved.

Further, the group plans to open a day and boarding school in partnership with the Juventus Football Club in Turin. Dr. Paolo Formiga, CEO of ISE and Chairman of the newly formed International Schools of Europe Group, said: “Partnering with H.I.G. is an exciting milestone for ISE which will enable us to further expand our reach in Italy and form part of a growing group of premium international schools around the world.

Europe, added: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Dr. Formiga and his team, who have built an impressive group of schools in Italy, and we look forward to supporting their next stage of growth.

Europe’s activities in Italy, added: “We are delighted to be entering into this partnership and announcing our first transaction in Italy.

The convention awaits, but yet she can't bring herself to walk up the escalator. She should, she knows that. She should race up the moving stairs to reach her goal all the sooner, but it seems undignified somehow. Sure, her Leia buns are mere headphones, and her white satin bathrobe a poor approximation of the space princess's Senatorial garb, but her persona is the most important part of the costume. For tonight, she is Leia. She adjusts the black-rimmed monstrosity that sits upon her nose, clutches her tickets, and steels herself for the trial before her. If only she carried a lightsaber...but no, theater policy forbade that part of her fantasy. Still, Leia has midichlorians enough to fight a Galactic Empire, so she can face an overzealous crowd on opening night. After all, she is the child of Vader as well as Amidala, and she's fully prepared to force-choke the bejesus out of anyone who blocks her seat tonight. Want to comment?

How to make your own Website Start your own Panty Website After approximately nearly 2 decades of being an Internet, web based world, it’s amazing that there are still a large number of businesses, and people in the world without a website, and the question about how to make your own website for free is as common today as it ever was. Making a website can be a complex task, or it can be relatively straight forward and quite easy. It really depends a lot on what you want in the end product. This is where you need to do some planning beforehand to ascertain why you want a website, and what you want it to achieve for you. Unfortunately many people get drawn into having a website of their own without a lot of thought. They are mesmerized by the thought of having ‘themselves’ on the world wide web, and easily fall for the sales pitch of having a glitzy, glamorous, flashy site, that costs them a small fortune. In reality, these types of sites can be great when as a ‘brochure’ representation of your business, however they are often structured and built in such a way, that you will never ever find them on the web if you were to search for people in their business industry in Google. So What Should You Do? Knowing how to create your own website for free is great if you already have the skillset, and it is entirely possible to achieve this (with the right platform) provided you aren’t technically challenged, and don’t like computers. There are quite a number of free web based web site building tools, and template systems available on the market, and to the novice, the choice can be daunting. Whilst these may appear to be awesome for people with limited website building skills, they often utilise something called WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) which is akin to creating a word document in a word processor. What you create on the page in front of you, and then save into these web building tools, is what you’ll see on the actual web page. How to make your own website for free – Is it best to always go with Free? The ‘create your free website’ systems are always made very simple to use, but most often the problem with them is that they provide you with a website address based around their own site. For example; if you wanted a site about selecting the best dog breed, instead of having a site like www.selectingthebestdogbreed.com, you would probably end up with a site like www.fluffywebsitebuilder.com/selectingthebestdogbreeder. The problem with this type of web address, is that you are entirely beholding to the main site ‘fluffywebsitebuilder.com”. If they change their policies, or decide to start charging for their services, or worst- go out of business, then you are left in no man’s land, with no choices, and no real options. Whereas if you had your own your own domain name address (something like www.selectingthebestdogbreeder.com) then you have complete control over your own online ‘real estate’, which means no one can change the rules on you, and you can be in full control of what you do with the site, or even if you decide to on sell it at a later date for a tidy profit (known as ‘website flipping’). If you agree that it’s best to be in full control of your site (which we believe is the wisest thing to chose- especially if you want to build yourself an online business) but you still want to know how to make a website for free, then the platform most widely chosen as the preferred option on the web today is what is known as ‘self hosted wordpress’ which is able to be freely downloaded from ‘www.wordpress.org’. This seriously would be the best way to go. There are a number of blogging platforms (which include wordpress.com, blogger.com) however, these all fall into the situation where you have no control. Sure, it may be free to setup, and run, but your long term online business value is practically nil, as the ultimate control of all your time, effort, and work is in someone else’s hands. Think of it as selling a rental tenancy, versus selling an actual property. The Best Decision – How to Make Your Own Website For Free – Using WordPress.org If you decide to go down the wordpress.org track, then there are a number of wordpress video training tutorials, (if you’re a complete novice) that you could check out on You Tube that will enable you to get a reasonable grasp on how to get started with your first website, or you could get the full wordpress video tutorial course here that covers everything from start to finish. All it really takes is an investment of about an hour of your time to learn the wordpress basics, enough so you can easily get the basics of a website online. Like many of the other how to make your own website for free website builders, and free blogging platforms, available online, (which are definitely all free to setup and operate) the wordpress.org platform is also free to download, setup, and build your own custom website in it’s basic format, however, there is some nominal cost associated with running wordpress.org sites. That’s because you’ll need a domain name of your own, and you’ll need to find someone to host that domain name and website for you. These costs invariably aren’t expensive, $10 approximately for a domain name, and around $10 per month to have your site hosted (incidentally, the hosting cost will often allow you host an ‘unlimited’ number of sites, so it can work out really cheap, if you end up hosting a number of sites) How to Make Your Own Website For Free – Where to From here? Have a good look around this site, you’ll find lots of recommended resources (some free, some not) that will definitely enable you to build the best website for your needs, for very little (if any) outlay, and along the way help you to learn some basic html coding, and perhaps some other minor technical coding, which should stand you in good stead for helping you to understand (particularly if you wish to have your website rank well in the Search Engines) that the best platform and system for you to make your own website for free, or as near to free as possible really is the (loved by Google) WordPress.org blogging platform
