What Is SuperManCoupon?
Just as stated earlier, SuperManCoupon can be defined as a standard browser extension, however, it differs from others because it enters the system. Thus, it is very tricky to get rid of it. This type of adware is usually installed secretly. Often, you will find absolutely no warns that you'll install 3rd party applications and extensions. Sometimes, these notifications happen to be unnoticeable on the installation wizards. Therefore, a user installs necessary computer software, but simultaneously in the background, advertising-supported software or adware is installed.
Moreover, those browser add-ons impact registry keys and also how browsers look. As an example, the internet browser may suddenly see an extra panel with shortcuts as well as images. Anytime starting browser, you may also see many advertising and popups that you simply do not want to view. SuperManCoupon makes the system slower, due to the fact adware needs to connect to a web server to obtain information on the type of advertising and pop ups to display. Furthermore, new registry keys show up, which often complicate eradication process.
SuperManCoupon may turn out to be a headache, especially for newbies. With this particular browser extension installed in your system you will have:
- completely different web browser main page. Thus, when you start using your preferred browser, you're rerouted to the weird page. Very irritating!
- SuperManCoupon changes internet search. You'll never ever get precise search results. This negatively effects user surfing experience.
- System and web browser effectiveness are impacted. SuperManCoupon will decelerate your pc. All extra bars and also processes require more resources. Therefore, you may notice that your Desktop is exceptionally sluggish.
- Messed up registry docs. Many entries tend to be impacted, and therefore it's very tricky to clean them up.
- Danger of additional malicious software installation. Also, there are odds that some other destructive programs could be set up, while you may be not aware of that.
- SuperManCoupon can easily access private information.
As you can see, you will find plenty of explanations why SuperManCoupon threatens your Personal computer and thus why it must always be removed.

SuperManCoupon creates its registry keys and / or writes its own program code directly into registry keys, for that reason, it's hard to quickly remove it. Of course, it's possible, however it usually requires much time. However, in case the adware is removed from browser, it solves the problem immediately.
How to Guard The Computer system From SuperManCoupon?
You'll find certain best practices to guard computer from downloading SuperManCoupon. Let us discuss the best recommendations:
- Don't download software coming from strange sites. Very often, when looking for software, we come across dubious web sites. You're not really sure that you download the proper app. As a result, you download and install a couple of tools, download managers as well as browser extensions.
- If you think that particular internet site can be hazardous, leave it. Your antivirus software might help.
- Don't be in a rush while installing software. Often, just by clicking Next you give a permission to download and install many unnecessary tools and also extensions. Read through information, take a look at check-boxes, don't be in a rush. It is better to stop installation process, rather than to eliminate advertising-supported software or adware.
- Regularly check your PC for trojans and dubious programs.
|Removal Method
|Uninstall manually
|Free antivirus
|Computer repair service
Rates for antiviruses begin from 40 dollars. It is expensive. However, you may try a free anti-virus and even attempt to eliminate SuperManCoupon without help. You will find cons of manual elimination. As an example, you may ruin registry entries and the OS won't start. Free anti-virus programs are not powerful and therefore often times can't diagnose a lot of malevolent software programs.
It is possible to take the Personal computer to Computer repair center. It is probably the most high priced alternative. Additionally, experts can guarantee that there will be hardly any malicious software on the Laptop or computer. In the event you have basic Computer abilities it's suggested to get a trustworthy anti-virus program.

The mark of a good football team is how it reacts to adversity. Which means the David Prouty High football team is really good.
Despite having some of their starters sidelined by injuries, the third-ranked Panthers didn't miss a beat last night in a 36-14 rout of Grafton High in a key Division 2B matchup at Eugene R. Hurley Field that was over early in the third quarter.
"Having the kids come in and do their part, there's a lot of pride there," Prouty coach Andrew Tuccio said about backups-turned-starters Jake Nadreau, Nick Tobin and Marc Lamoureux. "They want to come in and pick up the team."
Providing the biggest pickup was senior running back Zach Grasis, who carried 15 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns.
"Tonight was my first game feeling 100 percent," said Grasis, who suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season and returned to action four weeks ago. "I'm just so glad we came out and played so well."
While Grasis was busy surpassing 4,000 career rushing yards, his brother, quarterback Mike Grasis, ran for 99 yards, a pair of touchdowns and three 2-point conversions, helping the Panthers notch the program's 200th victory since its modern-day incarnation in 1969.
Meanwhile, David Prouty (8-0, 5-0) extended its winning streak to 21 games dating to 2008. The Indians (5-3, 2-2) lost their second in a row.
After a short Grafton punt put the ball on Prouty's 48, Mike Grasis needed just three plays to score, starting the drive with a 29-yard keeper. He then handed off to Marc Lamoureux for 8 yards before taking it in himself from 15 yards out. Grasis ran in the 2-point conversion to put the Panthers ahead, 8-0.
Led by linemen Frankie Dipadua, Nadreau, Juan Lopez and Dan Martin, the Prouty defense forced another punt. Another weak kick enabled Grasis to set up shop at midfield, and on first down he made the first of several handoffs to Zach.
Six plays and a hefty 20-yard gain by Mike Grasis later, Zach scored on a 4-yard run. His 2-point rush made it 16-0 with 1:18 left in the first quarter.
"Our game plan was to hopefully come out and jump on them as fast as we could," Tuccio said. "Fortunately, we were able to do that."
Grafton rebounded in the second quarter with a seven-play, 65-yard drive capped by quarterback P.J. Couture's 37-yard TD run down the right sideline, trimming the deficit to 16-6.
After the Panthers' ensuing drive stalled on the Grafton 5, they drove 85 yards on eight plays on their next possession. The march featured a nifty 31-yard run by Zach Grasis, who capped the drive with a 16-yard touchdown. The conversion failed, but Prouty led, 22-6, at halftime.
The lead grew in the third when Zach Grasis broke free for his first of three straight scores, the last of which was a 37-yard run up the gut.
"(Grafton running back) Obi (Melifonwu) almost caught that one in the end zone before the break, and if he does, it's a close game," Zach Grasis said. "We knew we had to come out firing in the second half."
Melifonwu was held to 13 yards rushing.

My local supermarket makes a great pizza dough, so that's my starting point. I have made the dough myself in the past, and it tastes just the same, so I'd rather use store bought dough and focus on really good toppings.
Here are some tips for making a great pizza:
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan on getting started cooking. I try to do an hour if I can. Letting it come up to room temperature will make it much easier to work with.
- Don't rush rolling and stretching the dough. If it starts to spring back after you roll it, leave it alone for five minutes (start prepping your other ingredients and try again.
- Sprinkle your work surface and the top of the dough with a little flour before rolling. This should prevent the dough from sticking to the work surface or your rolling pin. Picking up the dough and moving it will also prevent sticking.
- When rolling the dough, use gentle pressure. If you press down really hard, the dough will likely stick.
- If using vegetables, try to remove excess moisture. Squeeze frozen thawed vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or saute vegetables with a lot of moisture (zucchini, squash, onions.)
- Break out a ruler. If the recipe states to roll out the dough to a certain size, match that size. Otherwise your pizza may be too thin and tear, or too thick and bready.
Here's the recipe for Artichoke, Arugula, and Prosciutto Pizza, adapted from cookinglight.com. I never had artichokes before this. For the pesto, you can buy some already made, or see this post for a quick and easy pesto recipe.
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 lb. pizza dough
2 tablespoons pesto
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 (9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and drained
1 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup baby arugula leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Position oven rack to lowest setting. Preheat oven to 500°
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll out dough into a 14 x 10-inch rectangle and place on baking sheet.
Spread the pesto evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pesto. Place baking sheet on the bottom oven rack; bake at 500° for 5 minutes. Remove pizza from oven.
|Pesto and mozzarella on the dough.
Coarsely chop artichokes. Arrange artichokes on pizza; top with sliced prosciutto. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Return pizza to the bottom oven rack; bake an additional 6 minutes or until crust is browned.
Place arugula in a bowl. Drizzle juice over arugula; toss gently. Top the pizza with arugula mixture. Cut the pizza into 4 (7 x 5-inch) rectangles; cut each rectangle diagonally into 2 wedges.
|Adding the artichokes, prosciutto, and parmesan.

Ministers say the card aims to improve the way people use library and travel services.
But campaign group NO2ID said it would be the "thin edge of the wedge" towards a national ID card scheme.
Assembly government officials are looking at exactly how the smart card scheme would work.
Public Service Delivery Minister Andrew Davies said the card was a central part of the drive to improve public services.
However, Suw Charman, founder of the Open Rights group, which campaigns on digital rights, described the scheme as "pointless".
She told the BBC Wales programme CF99 on S4C: "I haven't seen an argument about what's wrong with the existing cards.
"Why do we need to put all this information on one smart card that's going to keep a log on what people do and where they go? It's treating people like criminals."
Mr Davies insisted the proposed smart card was not related to ID cards.
He told the programme: "It's just a way of using technology to access things like library cards, and make it easier to use those services."
Mr Davies said the sole purpose of the smart card was to improve the way the public used services.
He acknowledged that as the technology developed the scope of the smart card could expanded to include other services.
AMs have given the scheme a cautious welcome, but warned against allowing the card to carry too much information.
North Wales Liberal Democrat AM Eleanor Burnham expressed concern about the idea of smart cards holding personal data in the wake of incidents where UK Government departments have lost information on thousands of people.
Plaid Cymru AM Leanne Wood, who has vowed to go to jail rather than carry an ID card, also had reservations about the smart card.
She wanted reassurances that the card "would not become compulsory... or turn into a precursor of an ID card, because that would be a serious concern".

I want what they have.
Most of us gathered are young adults in our twenties. We sit in an oblong rectangle, one girl sitting on a wooden swing suspended from the ceiling. The air smells like leather.
"If we want to change the culture, we need a change in perspective." Our speaker is a professor from the University of Minnesota, about 60, with a bald head and a relaxed smile. "Discipleship must become our key focus. We need people who are willing to lay down their lives for the Gospel."
It's easy to say that, but so hard to live it. We didn't know it at the time, but hours after we would finish our meeting on Thursday night, three black SUVs in Egypt would surround a bus filled with Coptic Christians and open fire.
Disciplines and the Practice of Love
Last week I talked about how to maintain joy in developing spiritual disciplines. Taking a step back, we need to understand the practice of disciplines as spiritual formation in discipleship.
The Coptic Christians in Egypt have faced incredible persecution over the last several months. In December of last year, an attack killed 29 people. Another 47 died this year after two suicide bombings on Palm Sunday. And on Thursday, 28 Christians were killed.
Luke 14:33
In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be My disciples.
Why does it matter that we give up everything we have? Why did Jesus talk about picking up our cross? Why would He use such strong language?
After hearing about the ambush, I sit at my computer at work and read articles. A story from Christianity Today run after the Palm Sunday attacks leads me to this video. The speaker is Amr Adeeb, a prominent talk show host in Egypt.
Being a disciple means following in the path of someone else—emulating their life. The most dedicated Muslims follow in the way of Muhammad, who was a warrior and conqueror. The most dedicated Christians follow in the way of Jesus, who was unjustly put to death and loved His enemies.
Jesus asks us to give up everything because He knew the truth of His own death: Only unconditional surrender creates the capacity for unconditional love.
While I sat in the leather shop on Thursday and considered discipleship, I had no idea what was about to happen on the other side of the world. I still don't know what it will take for Christians in America to model this kind of love.
In my reading, I come across a new piece by Keller on The Gospel Coalition. He's talking about cultural transformation and summarizing how Christians can effectively engage our culture while maintaining our identity as a counterculture. This bit stands out to me:
We should be pioneers in civility, in building bridges to those who oppose us. The earliest Christians were viciously persecuted and put to death, but the church practiced forgiveness and non-retaliation. Nowhere in the West are Christians facing this, yet many respond to even verbal criticism with like-toned disdain and attacks. Christians should be peacemakers instead of pouring scorn on our critics and 'sitting in the seat of mockers' (Ps. 1:1).
Our lives are meant to model a countercultural love. Yet this unconditional love isn't formed overnight.
Think about a pianist. When they know a recital is coming, they practice consistently. They practice until they know their piece by memory. When it comes time to perform, everything is muscle memory. They don't have to strain to remember in the moment; whatever is inside them simply comes out through the keys.
The Egyptian Copts were prepared for martyrdom before it came. After persecution rebounded in 2010, the Copts had to ask whether they were willing to follow Jesus, even if it meant following Him to an unjust death.
They considered. They talked. They taught. They learned. They grew. They prepared themselves, so if the time came for them, they were ready.
I'm not saying we should prepare ourselves for martyrdom. However, we should recognize this: The strength of our foundation today will determine the strength of our love tomorrow. The forgiveness shown by these Copts shows their foundation was firm.
When they were broken open, love and forgiveness flowed out.
Sitting in the leather shop, we didn't come to any miraculous conclusions. We didn't unlock the secret to transforming culture. But we did recognize the need for transformative relationships to prepare one another for faithfulness in the present age.
I challenge you to consider, as I do myself, whether the habits you're developing now are preparing you to be a sacrificial disciple or only a "fair weather" Christian.
By learning unconditional love and preparing ourselves now, I hope and pray the world can be shocked by the love and forgiveness they see in followers of Jesus in my country, too.

Those who own and manage family enterprises are often drawn to and appreciate the perks that their participation brings. Even in good economic times, perks can be a sensitive issue, raising the eyebrows of employees who feel equally committed to the success of the business. In challenging economic times, and in an era of cost-cutting and employee reductions, perks can create great bitterness among employees who see family members as abusing their positions within the business. Clearly, a healthy dialogue among family owners and/or managers can help the family think through the impact of these perks and determine if their current policy needs a revamp.
Examples of normal family manager perks include cars for family employees, club memberships and use of company credit cards. While most families are quiet about the perks not afforded to non-family employees, in the current economic environment, when hardworking employees see family employees using corporate dollars for what appear to be personal expenses, they often feel a sense of injustice.
A thoughtful client recently stated that when thinking about perks, the primary question should be, "How will this impact the business?" So often, families are focused internally on the subject of perks, exploring whether perks are distributed fairly throughout the family. In light of the challenges involved with motivating an employee workforce during a time of cutbacks, families would do well to consider not only the broader impact that their perks have on the organization, but also the trust level between employees and the owning family.
While there are many instances in which certain perks are legal, families are cautioned from letting feelings of entitlement blur their sensitivity to the detrimental effects on employees' morale and their trust in family management if those practices are seen as abusive and unfair.
Here are some signals to the family that the perks policy may need attention:
Perks are tricky issues, and the family business unit needs to consider many scenarios. Is it appropriate to have company employees, vendors or suppliers do work on a shareholder's personal home? What are the expectations for payment for those services? Is there a discount? Is it free? Credit cards and gas cards for family employees are common perks. Does the person's position require that he or she hold a credit card or a gas card in order to perform their job, and does the business have a clear policy on whether personal expenses need to be reimbursed? It is important to give care and attention to these and other situations that might exist within your perks policy.
Perks are a source of conflict and tension, not only among family groups but also between different stakeholders in the business. A healthy dialogue among owners about appropriate perks and the policies that govern them can help reduce and avoid conflict in the family enterprise. It might also motivate your employees to a greater sense of commitment knowing that you care about the health of the business as much as they do.

Well done to Callum Watson, Calum MacLeod, Eve Matheson and Ellie Emmott for their success at the sports today.
Dear Parent/carer,
We trust you have dealt with the unpacking, washing and enjoyed hearing what we were up to last week on our brilliant Loch Insh adventure. It is a pleasure to say how well we participated in all the activities and made the most of the experiences offered. We worked together in our teams and gained a whole new skill set. While we were all having such a great time, we hope you adjusted to the change in the family dynamics and didn't feel the week too long!
Hopefully the week away has given your child a new level of self confidence which will help with their resilience in the future as they face other challenges e.g. moving on to the Academy.
The staff at Loch Insh looked after us so well and we have all taken away some great memories. There are some items of Lost Property which will available for you to reclaim at the Open Morning on Friday 1 June 2018. We look forward to sharing our photos with you too.
The attitude, manners and behaviour of all the pupils was of a very high standard and we appreciate your support with this. Thanks are extended to the members of staff who came along to help make our week such a success.
Yours sincerely
Mrs M Murray and Miss L McLean
Week 2
Geography Visit
This week we had our third and final visit from Miss Baird, a geography teacher from the IRA. In this session we started to learn about volcanoes, discussing why they occur and the structure of the volcano; we even had a go at making our own models! WE would like to thank Miss Baird for giving up her time to come into Lochardil and some of us my even work with her after the summer.
Controversial Issues
This term out class topic is 'Controversial Issues'; we will be exploring different local and global issues that we select as a class.
This week we were debating the issue around American Guns laws. We decided on our own view point, shared and listened to others; some of us found that our viewpoint changed as we spoke to other people.

We enjoyed our taster of things to come in secondary school and look forward to welcoming Miss Baird back next term.
Week 5 Overview
Internet Safety Day
Tuesday 6th of February was Internet Safety Day and we got involved in a number of activities to remind ourselves how to stay safe while online and how to use internet and social media responsibly. We looked at texts and decided whether these were "bullying or banter", took a quiz to find out how influenced we are by what we see on social media and talked about the growing number of pressures experienced by young people as a result of technology.
Guitar with Martin O'Parka
This week we had our first session of guitar lessons with Martin. He will be visiting out school until Easter teaching us how to play guitar, and will return in the summer term for drumming lessons. We enjoyed getting to know him this Friday and all really enjoyed our first lesson!
Goodbye Lucy and Molly
On Thursday we had to say a very sad farewell to Lucy and Molly Armstrong. They are moving onto a new school and we wish them the best of luck in their new home and school. We will miss you both!
Week 4 Overview
Welcome Mrs Ross!
This week we welcomed Mrs Ross from the university of the Highlands and Islands into our class. She will be working with us for 5 weeks and has already been doing an amazing job of teaching us art.
This week we have been continuing with our WW2 topic. This week we began to learn about how and why children were evacuated from large cities and the experiences they had as an evacuee. We even had some real life evacuees in class to interview!
Book Appeal
We are settling in well into our new accommodation but have found ourselves missing having a library to choose from in class. I have been scouring charity shops for books and a big thank you to Callum Watson and family for their generous donations to our library. As you can see we are slowly building up our stock but we are asking if anyone has any age appropriate fiction or non-fiction texts gathering dust in their homes if they we consider donating these to our class library. Any donation will be very much appreciated.

Our learning with Miss Barclay this term is gymnastics. We were delighted to be asked to help out the Primary 4s with their lesson. Don't our displays look great!
Prayer Space
This week we had the opportunity to visit the Prayer Space. Room 12 was transformed into a fantastic space where we were given the opportunity to reflect or pray. The range of activities help us to focus on our thoughts; activities included using sand as a relaxation tool to writing a prayer for the world. We had a great time and want to thank all the volunteers who made the experience so great!
Rationing Recipes
As part of our WW2 topic we have been learning about rationing. We wanted to experience how it felt to have very little ingredients available so we decided to make cookies. As chocolate and sugar we in short supply during the war we used carrots as a natural sweetner in out recipe. We were pleasantly surprised with the results, although we won't be swapping these for our normal cookies any time soon!

The book fair was a great success thanks to the brilliant team work shown by those in the book fair team. They displayed good listening, organisational and money handing skills.
Thanks to their hard work and to all those who bought something from the book fair we have managed to raise over £500 for Lochardil to spend on new books for our school! Well done!
My World of Work – Space Junk
This Friday we had our second visit to Skills Development Scotland's "My World of Work". This session focused on programming robots to replicate how satellites navigate space debris. We are becoming quite the experienced computer programmers!

P7 Curriculum Overview – Term 2
Writing for Week 2
We will be rewriting the story of "Francis". You will be trying to create tensions through the use of; metaphors and similes, short sentences and ellipsis.
Term 2 – Week 1 Highlights
It was lovely to welcome everyone back to a new term this week, all fully rested and raring to go for another term!
Fancy Dress Disco
We have been working incredibly hard over the last few weeks in school to organise our annual fancy dress disco. The quality and hard work put into the stalls was amazing and it was clear that everyone who attended had a great time! We had everything from nail painting, blind tasting to fortune tellers. Well done to DJ's for the night who really got the party started and organised some great games for the pupils.
A big thank you to all parents and carers for your support in helping with stalls, etc and to the staff that were able to help on the night; we cannot do these things without the continued support.
We are delighted to announce that P7 managed to raise £850! A big thank you to everyone who attended the disco and supported P7; we were so impressed with the effort everyone made with their costumes!
Just a wee reminder of the opening morning happening on Tuesday 3rd October. WE are focusing on writing and it will be a great opportunity to have a look at your child's work and enjoy doing some writing together. We hope to see many of you there!

Week 7 Highlights
Hopscotch Theatre
On Monday we watched a great performance from Hopscotch Theatre based on the UNCRC Rights of The Child. It helped to remind us how lucky we are to be protected by these rights, and showed us what could happen if these rights were removed.
We learnt through a very catchy song that we all have the right to be:
Safe Healthy Active Nurtured Achieving Respected Responsible Included
STEM Hub Sphero Workshop
On Thursday we visited the STEM Hub at the UHI to learn how to code and programme robotic spheres. We learnt how important it was to give computer clear and detailed instructions, and how easily it can go wrong!
We began by programming the robot to preform simple tasks such as going forwards and backwards; we progressed to more complicated movements as the morning went on. We then had to design a chariot for our Sphero and race them to see which design what the most effective in terms of speed. We had a fantastic morning!
Week 6 Highlights
P7B "McCoos"
This week we have been working on designing Highland Cows inspired by famous Scottish artist, Steve Brown, well loved McCoo design! We created a Scottish landscape background using coloured pencil and made our McCoos vibrant and bright using oil pastels. Here's a selection of the finished results; don't they look fabulous!
IRA Tour
We were made very welcome today at the IRA and enjoyed seeing round the school. Our sixth year guides were helpful and we spotted some familiar ex Lochardil faces around the place since they didn't get out on their Sponsored Walk. We look forward to meeting Mr Fyffe and some of the older pupils for a question and answer session next term. We are going to be part of the largest year group the IRA have ever had – just like our time at Lochardil. Good to keep the record breaking going!
Writing for next week
To extend our learning around alcohol, our writing next week will be a discursive essay on the topic:
Should the legal drinking age in the UK be lowered to 16?
You should plan you essay over the long weekend on the planning sheet provided; if you have lost this please click the link below for an extra copy.
Kirking of the Council 10.9.17
A big thank you to all our House and Vice Captains who came along to support this important event. The Kirking is a blessing given to the city and Council. The tradition goes back hundreds of years and involves a procession around the town and service at the Old High Church. There was a reception at the Town House after. We proudly flew the school flag and enjoyed being photographed and filmed by lots of interested by standers!
It was also good to see Jack, James and Callum there representing other youth organisations in the city.
Skills Development Scotland – DIY Coding
On Friday we visited the Skills Development Scotland centre to take part in our first workshop with them – DIY Coding.
Our job was to code a light panel to create our own moving light pictures; we came up with lots of creative ideas such as a bottle flip and a disco dancer. We thoroughly enjoyed our tip and look forward to visiting SDS again in November for out "Space Junk" workshop.
Pop Art anti-smoking pictures
We have been learning all about the health risks that smoking can bring and how detrimental it can be. We wanted to encourage people not too smoke so designed Pop Art inspired pictures to communicate our message. We used oil pastels in bright colours to create out eye catching artwork!
Well Done Callum!
And finally, congratulations to Callum who recently won 2 trophies for cricket. Well done!
Smoking Experiment
On Monday we conducted an experiment to find out what happens to the tar in cigarettes when you smoke them and to look at any differences between different brands of cigarettes. Although we were disappointed that the experiment didn't work as well as we would have hoped, we did find that the tar collected in the cotton wool and that different brands differ in the amount of tar they have.
First Aid Training
On Thursday afternoon we had a visit from Kristy who works for the British Red Cross. She taught us how to respond in emergency situations and how to give CPR; we particularly enjoyed giving CPR to the rhythm of "Staying Alive"! We received a certificate for the class to recognize the training that we have completed.
Reading to Our Buddies
On Friday afternoon we were invited to go and visit our buddies in Primary 1. We shared a story with them and enjoyed spending time with them all, which was lovely end to our week!
Writing – 21/08/17
Below is the link for the clip "The Black Hole" that we watched in class.
This week we are staying imaginative writing and your task for this week is to either continue the story, or write your own story involving a black hole. Remember we are focusing on ambitious connective and descriptive language.

Please click below for this term's overview of learning, routines and relevant information for the year ahead.
P7 Curriculum Overview – Term 1
It was lovely to see everyone back to school this week feeling rested and raring to go for the year ahead!
This week we have been very busy being buddies to our new Primary 1s. The praise for the maturity and responsibility shown, and the good example that we have been setting for our littlest learners has been pouring in from both staff and pupils, so a big well done to all the Primary 7s!
This week we have been settling into our new routines (and our new temporary home) and having some fun at the beginning of our P7 experience!
Well done to Adnan who was our first "Star of the Week", and to Niamh, Aimee, Lucy, Adela and Cora as their table won "Table of the Week"!

Thursday, March 18
Uh, hey. It's Danielle Ate the Sandwich. I've been on the road and away from home a couple of days now, and am officially one hour from Austin and ready to go. Today, I play at Bar 512 for the Spokesbuzz Showcase. I'm excited to play with a lot of great bands from Fort Collins and show the city what we're made of. I'm also excited to see how sweaty I get -- it's freaking hot down here!
The journey to get here was long and uneventful. I travel light in a Pontiac Vibe, and I am making this trip on my own. So it's just me and the open road... and the Justin Bieber cardboard cutout I have resting in my passenger seat. (Car pool lane, anybody?)
I left my apartment in Loveland on Wednesday morning. Along the way I stopped for an exotic southern Colorado delicacy (Sonic) and sang along to bad radio songs and occasionally my iPod on shuffle. I find it necessary to switch between the radio, over which I have no control and my selection of songs, of which I have too much control.
I switch songs to often and end up not really listening to anything and then get bored of the music I claim to love. Know what I mean? Chris McGarry's song 'Brooklyn Bound' was a nice compliment to the hills and trees of New Mexico.
Seven hours later, I stopped to play a concert at a pizza place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a room full of ears, young and old. Some of them knew my songs and made me feel more famous than any non-pizza place venue ever could. I left Santa Fe with a few bucks and a free pizza (score!).
This morning I left my hotel in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, and drove the nine hours to get to Temple, Texas, which is where I'm staying, as all the hotels in and around Austin are booked and the best I could get was one hour away. I'm not complaining, though. There's a Chili's nearby!
Along the way, I saw such notable landmarks as Billy the Kid's gravesite, and drove through Littlefield, Texas, the home of Waylon Jennings. I didn't stop at either, because they didn't have wireless internet.
My GPS lead me down various highways, with small towns few and far between. These quiet roads, spotted with broken down homes and farms, backed by expansive plains, made me think of all the horror movies I had ever seen, and so I only stopped once to pee and get gas.

Kanye West's "Monster" sounded pretty good today. Listening to rap music makes me feel like a badass, especially when I'm in the Lone Star State. Otem Rellik's song "Empty Coffins" was also sounding very good on the hot Texas highway.
I'm surprised how many people in Texas are actually wearing cowboy hats!
Total number of buildings I saw that were painted pink: 3
Interesting Roadkill: Lots of skunks, a couple of dogs (sad) and one of what looked like a badger (cool)
Run-ins with high profile drug cartels: 0
Nostalgic '90s throwback jams I heard on the radio: "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers, "Run Around" by Blues Traveler (I wonder which one I know more words to.)
I didn't get arrested for drugs or anything -- bummer! I'll give it my best shot tomorrow. There's still time. Say, does any body have any paraphernalia I can hold for them?

On my regular visits back to the Island of Jersey, Brooklands Farm is often my first stop.
Owned and run by 'Farmer' Jon and his fabulous long suffering wife, Jenny Hackett, Brooklands if a self made, self sustained, traditional Jersey farm. Running now for over 20 years, Brooklands is one of Jerseys most loved Genuine Jersey farm food and butcher businesses. With over 100 piggies from a variety of rare breeds including Oxford Sandys and Blacks, and we can't forget Galaxy, the farm goat who single-handed, staves off illness and sickness on the farm (according to jersey farm history).
On arrival Jon he instantly took us to se the farm and meet the pigs where we were dutifully introduced us to his knew PR manager, Del Boy. Del Boy was the runt of the most recent litter and would have otherwise met his maker had John not nurtured and hand fed him, raising the little trotter to full health. One of the sweetest little pigs I have ever seen, Del Boy has quickly established his celebrity status on the Island with his own fan base at the local school. Move over Cavill, there is a new face in town!
With sausages to die for and a pâté I could happily drown in, Jon welcomes me into his office otherwise known as the kitchen, where the flavour magic happens, to share some family secrets surrounding the ingredients that go into Brooklands Sausages. I managed to find out and try the latest batch out of the oven. A new sausage called Liberation which is gluten free and 98% meat, with just a hint of nutmeg, coriander and ginger. This sausage can be found in the Liberation group pub restaurants around the Island. The sales pitch worked! I had dinner sorted for the next week with pork pies, Jamaican beef patties, beef burgers, sausages, bacon and of course, some pate.
For more information on Brooklands Farm and their organic, home made produce please follow them on Facebook or contact Farmer Jon Directly.

Fertility Salad Recipe
Start with red (purple) cabbage. This is a great hormone regulator because it is loaded with phytoestrogens and antioxidants. Cut it in half and save the rest for later. Shred about 1 cup with a cheese shredder as finely as possible. Raw cabbage can be a little hard to digest, so if it is shredded finely, it will help.
Cut up about 1/3 of a large cucumber. Cucumbers (especially the seeds) are considered a fertility enhancer in women.
Peel a ripe avacado, cut in half and discard the pit. Cut ½ of the avacado and save the rest for later. Avacados are a great source of the good fats and they can help enhance progesterone production and keep the balance between estrogen and progesterone.
Cut a tomato in half and cut into cube size pieces. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene which can reduce inflammation and help with endometriosis.
Add about 1 tbs of extra virgin olive oil (a great source of the good fats)
Add some balsamic vinegar if desired
Add salt and pepper to taste.

A Minimalist Guide to Green Cleaning: Bathroom Edition
Once I learned the power of vinegar and baking soda, cleaning my bathroom became excessively easy!
Counters and tile?
I spray them down with vinegar. Then I wipe everything with a moist sponge or a cleaning cloth.
If there's a stubborn stain, I will sprinkle a little baking soda on a sponge and scrub a bit.
The mirror?
Vinegar. Sure, the first time you spray vinegar on your mirror it looks a little weird, especially if you've been using Windex forever. I tried this technique years ago with some cleaning cloths and I haven't wasted paper towels since.
Tub and shower?
I spray everything down with vinegar. After a few minutes, I wipe all surfaces with a sponge or cloths.
Then I'll sprinkle some baking soda into the tub. I use a scrub brush to work the baking soda into any soap scum, water stains, or mildew.
This technique works well on shower curtains too. If I notice any mildewing around the edge of the shower curtain, I just spray vinegar, and let it sit for twenty minutes or so. Sometimes the vinegar eats through the mildew all on its own. Other times I'll scrub with a little baking soda to dislodge any remaining funkiness!
Mixing Vinegar and Baking Soda?
So if you mix vinegar and baking soda, you might notice some bubbling and hissing. That's because vinegar is an acid and baking soda is a base. Middle school students have been making volcanoes with this stuff for years!
Once these two substances have completed their chemical reaction, you've got a neutral salt water solution. Not exactly what you want to clean with.
To avoid creating a neutral solution, I start with vinegar to disinfect whatever I'm cleaning. Once the surface is disinfected, then I add the baking soda for its grittier properties to make scrubbing out any stains a little easier. Avoid the hissing!
The toilet?
Okay, here I cave a bit. I do buy Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner. There's something about coating the inside of the bowl with a slightly thicker cleanser that I like. If I have a persistent toilet bowl stain, I'll bust out the pumice stone, but that's usually a few times a year.
Air freshener?
And finally, after years of being sucked in by the advertising on numerous air fresheners, I learned about CarraFree Unscented Odor Eliminator spray.
This little spray bottle of awesomeness neutralizes odor.
The spray is completely unscented!
Any foul stink from the bathroom or trash can? Just spritz two or three spritzes of CarraFree and the smell is gone! The mist is incredibly fine so it doesn't leave behind any film. It just works!
Next week, I'll be finishing this series on greener cleaning with a post focused on the tools I use for cleaning. Most of my cleaning gear is reusable and washable, so my impact on the environment is a bit less.

Portland saw an unexpected bout of GLORIOUS sunshine this past weekend, so of course Nick and I got outside as much as possible. Here are some moments from a run + stair climb along the Esplanade, as well as a spontaneous sunset trip to Cannon Beach where I learned that yoga poses on wet sand are not as easy as they look...
I'm not an "avid" runner per say, but when the sun is out in January, how can you resist?! Nick and I like to run the Esplanade, a path bordering both the west and east banks of the Willamette River. We always cross over the infamous Steel Bridge, pictured above.
I'm loving my new Nike running tights!
Ah, Cannon Beach. We had a wonderful time strolling and soaking up some Vitamin D. Pictured above is gorgeous Haystack Rock.
Getting balanced. Yoga on wet sand = NOT easy!

Teaching Academy
No matter what stage of your career, there are always questions about procedures or unforeseen obstacles that will come up. Below is a continually growing list of the most frequently asked questions.
Management of Course(s) and Teaching
The questions below are all related to teaching and promotion.
- 40% teaching = 12 (contact) hours/week
- 10% teaching = 3 (contact) hours/week
How do I calculate my percent teaching? i.e., how many classes equal 10%, etc.
The following information was provided by VCS and is relevant to faculty in that department. While it is likely that it would also be relevant to other departments, we strongly suggest you consult with your department chair to determine how lectures and laboratory time relates to the percent teaching agreed upon in a job description.
WSU Workload Formula:
- MODEL: 100% faculty: 40% teaching, 40% research, 20% service
How is my teaching assessed?
Currently, teaching is primarily assessed via student and peer (faculty) evaluations. Course directors are responsible for identifying which faculty are involved in their course and then distributing and collecting the end-of-semester teaching evaluations. Student evaluation data is processed through the department and college administration offices. Peer evaluations are performed by established faculty members within the college. With the guidance from either a new faculty member's tenure review committee or a member of the Teaching Academy, faculty members that have historically been willing and able to provide a review can be identified. Once identified, it is up to the junior faculty member to contact that individual to arrange a time where the review can take place.
How do I determine when my courses are and what I am expected to do as an instructor in those courses?
Upon starting work at WSU, you should plan to meet with your Department Chair and the faculty within your unit. Discussions concerning your teaching expectations should be handled during these meetings. Over time, you should expect to discuss future teaching opportunities with your section or unit peers. Your faculty mentor committee (or Department Chair) can also provide input with regard to your teaching load to insure that it is appropriate for your job description.
What are all the possible courses I might be expected or could be involved in when working here?
The courses you will be involved in will be decided by yourself, your faculty mentors and peers, along with input from your Department Chair.
Does WSU has specific requirements for syllabi?
While flexibility exists with regard to the format of a course syllabus, the content is somewhat standard and typically includes: course name and number, date, instructor information, course format, course classification (core, elective, etc.), information on class notes and references, lecture schedule, information on examinations, grading policy, policy on attendance at examinations and required activities, a disability statement, academic integrity statement, and a statement concerning audio/visual recording. Further explanations and resources can be found here. Examples of syllabi can be viewed here and clicking on the courses with underlined numbers. Alternatively, you can also obtain syllabi from senior faculty members serving as course directors in courses you are likely to be participating in.
Suggestions with dealing with students issues concerning grades or assignments?
Course requirements are set forth in the
course syllabus. This can include means for improving grades, missed
assignments, etc. It is likely that as a new faculty member you will be
joining senior faculty in teaching a portion of a course.
Refer to the course syllabus guidelines and requirement, the section under student responsibilities and expectations.
Who pays for copies, handouts, bubble sheets, etc?
Copies, scanning, etc. produced for a course can be charged to that course. Departmental office staff (eg. Laura Love in VCS) can provide you with access codes or budget numbers. Faculty are also allowed a specified number of personal copies, etc. for non-course related expenses. Again, see your department office staff to obtain appropriate access numbers.
Classroom Technology
Is there help with the technology – computers, projectors, tegrity, Angel, etc
Numerous people are available to help with technology questions. Computer questions are generally handled through the College IT office (335-0101). Classroom projectors, computers, etc., within the college are administered via Biomedical Communications (BCU). BCU is located on the first floor of Bustad Hall (123 Bustad) or can be reached at 335-2624. For questions concerning Tegrity, please contact Bob Mitchell in BCU. For questions concerning Angel, please contact Dr. Cheryl Dhein (VCS).
Developing clear and understandable lectures using PowerPoint is something that I have worked very hard at and could have used tips and examples.
See Rich Scott's presentation.
What do I need to pay attention to for the tenure packet?
Your faculty mentor committee and your Department Chair will be an important resources for the content of your tenure portfolio. As a new faculty member you should plan on meeting with your committee a minimum of once per year, but certainly more often if you feel it necessary. The Teaching Academy web site will also have materials and information relating to your teaching portfolio.
What are the WSU CVM guidelines for grant applications process?
Grant applicants need to be in contact with their Department administration office prior to, during and after the grant application process. These personnel can provide you with information necessary to develop and submit budget applications so that they can be approved by your Department Chair prior to submission of a grant. Departmental personnel can also serve as a liaison to the University Office of Grant and Research Development, through whom grants should be submitted. Once a grant is funded, you should work with your department personnel to establish how the budget established for that grant will be spent and allocated.
How and when do I get involved with IACUC? Where do I find the paperwork needed by IACUC and where can I find help in filling it out?
Please go to the web page for the Office of the Campus Veterinarian. You can follow the link for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to obtain information on training, information for faculty, frequently asked questions, forms, news, announcements, etc. Both the office of the Campus Veterinarian and IACUC at WSU are staffed with exceedingly helpful and knowledgeable personnel. Don't be afraid to call or email then and inform them you are a new faculty member.
What grants are available?
Numerous grant opportunities exist. Information on CVM intramural funding opportunities can be obtained from the CVM Dean's office or your Departmental office. Assistance in determining what extramural funding opportunities exist can also be obtained from the College (Dean's office), Departmental offices, specialty colleges (Eg. ACVIM), Non-profit organizations (Eg. Morris Animal Foundation), and other faculty in your area of expertise.
Who do I contact for grant statistical help?
Statistical assistance for grants and papers is definitely available at WSU through the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Historically, a "service center" was operated that involved a fee for statistical services. A new approach has been instituted such that mathematics faculty can become integral partners and participants in a grant or Department of Mathematics. For inquiries regarding statistical services please contact the Administrative Manager, Ms. Jessanne Price at 335-6866
What is a faculty mentor committee and how do I go about picking these people? Once selected, how often we should meet?
Your Department Chair will be important in initially determining the members of your committee. Your Chair can identify members with a breadth of experience and availability soon after your arrival so that you can be provided input in a timely manner. Once you are more established and familiar with other faculty members, you can always consult with your Chair regarding adding or replacing members of your committee.

FAQs: Bridesmaid Style 101
If there's one thing I wish I would have put more research into when planning our own wedding, it would have been bridesmaid dresses. My girls ended up wearing this gown here, which in my humble opinion is a classic and a dress that could be worn again and again. But after seeing my fair share of bridesmaid style over the past few years, it's safe to say the typical maid look has really evolved. Depending on your big day style, the shapes and sizes of your gorgeous girls, and of course the target price point you're all willing to spend, there are endless places to scour these days for the perfect dress. So before your feel like you'll be confined to the aisle of a David's Bridal looking for a needle in a haystack, check this out. A Coles Notes version on bridesmaid style 101 from Yours Truly. You can all thank me later with a Starbuck's gift card or something :)
{Sassy} The sassy bridesmaid look is the one that might involve showing a little skin while keeping things modest and fresh. For Meg's bridesmaids who stood by her side this past September, they were decked out in the most amazing gray dresses. With a figure-hugging fit, and fabric floral detailing across the bust, these gowns perfectly coordinated with not just the bride's aesthetic preference but the overall wedding look (think downtown city, clean lines and Tiffany-blue-classic). Paired with nude heels the girls were the epitome of sass and class! For gowns like these and other kinds of sassy bridesmaid gowns check out Rickety Rack, ASOS, BCBG and Vera Wang. Photo by Young Hearts Photography and much more on this wedding soon!
{Playful} If you're the kind of bride who is a bit more laid back and inspired by anything vintage, whimsical and full of color, you might want to consider the route that Jessy took for decking out her girls this past summer. Instead of giving her maids a set dress style to purchase, she gave them a color and free range to find a playful and comfortable gown that each girl liked best. Each girl shared their findings with the bride before purchasing and the result was more than perfect! If you're a fan of the mismatched, playful gown look check out stores like Anthropologie (Jessy's fave!), Lulus, Spool No. 72, and Francescas. Photo above by Michael Murphy IV, and more from this wedding over here (including the backs of those adorable gowns).
{Feminine} Confession: a femininely dressed group of bridesmaids is my favorite kind of dressed up group. Duh! Anything sporting ruffles, pastel colors and soft fabrics falls into this category and really seems to be a style I see the most of. For Mary Beth and Tom's wedding this past August, the bride had her eight bridesmaids wear these gorgeous lavender coloured Amsale gowns. Not only did the color perfectly match the rest of the wedding decor, but the short length of the gowns and halter style played into the wedding day landscape up at Crooked Creek Ranch. For more gowns like these check out Bari Jay, Ivy and Aster, BHLDN and Jenny Yoo. Photograph above by Harrison Studio, with more on this gorgeous wedding over here.
{Chic} If there was a one stop shop that specializes in chic bridesmaid dresses, in my opinion it would have to be J. Crew. From the expansive fabric selection, to the different kinds of shapes to choose from, J. Crew is such a great resource for flattering, affordable and wearable bridesmaid's gowns. Some other great options for chic choices? Banana Republic, Jim Hjelm, Monique Lhuillier and Dessy. For Ashley's summer art gallery wedding, she had her girls wear gowns from Alfred Sung with the freedom to pick a neckline that each girl liked best. Seeing each girl feel comfortable and glowing in their chosen style was so refreshing! And you can see even more from this wedding here, with all photographs from my girl, Beth Kaye.
Tell me, what did any of you choose to have your bridesmaids wear? Or what style is your fave from above?
Happy Monday, bloggies! xoxo

Rhi, you need a pin it button! :) I really want to pin the picture of you and your girls walking in a single file line – I love it!
I love how you break down different bmaid dress styles! And your choice was definitely classic and chic and kind to your girls. I went with my bridesmaids choosing their preferred dress within a certain color (champagne) and style (long satin, or chiffon for my then-pregnant sister). I know I could have had them look more modern in shorter, more wearable dresses but price was definitely a huge factor and I also wanted a neutral (it was either going to be black or champagne). Of course, if I could have more than one wedding I would change things up!
Wedding day is a very special day. Every girl always wanted to walk in the aisle with there beloved groom. Since this is a special day the bridesmaid should look beautiful and gorgeous for her groom. Bridesmaid modest dresses enhance the look and helps out the beauty within. Bridesmaid should be the most beautiful woman in this very special day. What do you think?
Such a helpful post to so many brides! All these dresses above are so perfect in different ways. I'm with you- feminine might be my fave– but with playful/whimsical in a close second! :) xoxo M
I'm having my girls rent their bridesmaid dresses from http://www.littleborroweddress.com for my wedding next year! One of my bridesmaids just had a baby and another is in graduate school…I know it is costing them a lot to come to my wedding already so I just couldn't ask them to spend a lot of money on a dress they likely won't wear again. The dresses are beautiful and because it is only $50 to rent, I just am giving them the dress as their bridesmaid gift! They are picking which style they like best in color Poppy!
What a great blog post! I love all these different styles especially the feminine one…the ruffles, the lavender color…it's simply beautiful!

I generally use the quick battle mode but since my elo score is so high so early in the week i cant find any opponents. It used to be that if you just sat in the room you would get challenged in a minute or two. Now I'm sitting here waiting and haven't received a single challenge within the last ten minutes. Can anyone shed light on this new development for elo?

Ordinary meaningWe eagerly comprehend this dream. Acrobat dream is not, generally, a common one. There are some people who are least bothered and neglect this sort of a dream; however, it is not wise to do so. Acrobat dream gets to you several signs related to your future. Good as well as bad possibilities, both are conveyed by such a dream.Acrobat is an individual who performs unbelievable or very dangerous things in actual life. Therefore, dreaming of an acrobat may make us imagine that there is going to be a drastic change in life. Bad consequences may occur in your life if you dream of a funny acrobat.On the other hand, if you see a sad or old acrobat in your dream, it indicates advantageous changes in life.Dreaming of an acrobat with a few flowers may depict sad news. An assumption can be made regarding this dream that the flowers depict sorrow whereas the acrobat indicates an event or an individual in your life. Dreaming of such a thing indicates that you must take good care of your loved ones' health.A religious location is an area wherein people have an experience of peace and calmness. However, acrobat is a symbol of a major calamity in your life and hence the general lifestyle that you live may change. Such a dream depicts both positive and negative things in life; however, if you dream of acrobat in a colorful dress, you are sure to receive a positive change.As said earlier, acrobat depicts sudden change in life. Seeing a girl talking to an acrobat indicates positive developments. You may expect an abrupt stop to a troublesome situation that you've been facing from a long time.Several times we decide on something expecting immense success in future and often, we fail drastically. Dreams are signals about failures as well as success. It is symbolization. Lack of success is generally symbolized by the performance of an acrobat in the dream.Traditional or balance acrobat dream indicates that you are surely going to be in a situation. It tells you to be careful about the order of things in your life. Experience of such a thing must make you take care of your daily activities in life.

Martinez: Roy Keane is talking 'nonsense' about Everton
Roberto Martinez has dismissed the "nonsense" that surrounded Roy Keane's comments about Everton's Republic of Ireland stars this week.
The Ireland assistant suggested the Merseyside club had placed pressure on Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy to make themselves unavailable for the national team.
Neither featured in last month's fixtures with Gibraltar and Germany, but both played in Everton's subsequent 3-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa after that international break.
Midfielder McCarthy also sat out last Friday's 1-0 loss to Scotland with a hamstring complaint, while he and Coleman each missed a friendly clash with the United States on Tuesday.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright rubbished Keane's claims at the time and Martinez has now made his feelings clear.
"We've got a good relationship with the [Republic of Ireland] manager Martin O'Neill and we keep in touch quite frequently and share information," he told reporters.
"That's something that, at the club, we're always very proud when our players represent their countries.
"It's something that we're very, very proud of and every player at our club is desperately proud to represent their country.
"A lot has been said. A lot has been nonsense. The reality is that the conversations between the managers of the associations and ourselves as a club have always been really good and they'll carry on being good.
"The only thing I care about is the players. We produced four players for the Republic of Ireland [Coleman, McCarthy, Darron Gibson and Aiden McGeady]... four players who love to play for their country.
"It's disappointing when you see some sort of news in the media that they could put that in doubt. That's the disappointing aspect.
"All the fans of the Republic of Ireland and any nation need to know that these players would give their lives to represent their countries."

A first of its kind in the country, the portal will have GIS-based information about the city and will enable citizens to find locations of hotels, healthcare centres and government offices and status of various online services, to name a few.
The Bhubaneswar Development Authority's (BDA) move is inspired by Singapore, which has a similar portal for its citizens. The portal has been developed jointly by the BDA and National Informatics Centre Services Inc, a central government-owned department. The BDA has released Rs 2.49 crore to NICSI to develop the portal.
BDA sources said the portal integrates geospatial data of all the government and private agencies, which might be useful to denizens and tourists.
"This e-platform has links of smart city mission directorate, BDA, Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, smart city Bhubaneswar, ministry of urban development and housing and urban development department. The portal is being called 'Bhubaneswar One' because in one platform, citizens can scan the GIS map and obtain information about the services by clicking the links that have been created in the website," said a BDA spokesperson.
The android based smartphone users can avail the services at the moment. In the middle of the homepage of the portal, people can click on the map and locate a place of their choice. It will show direction with exact distance and relevant information. The locations, information on bus, train and flight schedules, programmes in the city, ideal tourist destinations, address of hospitals and doctors, ambulance facilities, parks and playgrounds, library, shopping malls and markets will be available in the platform.
The portal will be managed by the planning department of the BDA, which will also continue to update information.

Walking Group
Welcome to the Girlguiding North East England social walking group. If you are an adult member of Girlguiding (or their partner), enjoy walking, and would like to expand your repertoire of walks or share a favourite walk with other people in the region, then this is the group for you.
We meet once a month on either a Saturday or a Sunday for a social walk averaging around 10 miles in the day. The walks take place in areas such as the Yorkshire Dales, North Pennines, the Cheviots, the Peak District and North York Moors and rotate around the region so that everyone has a walk local to them at some time in the year.
The walks vary in length and difficulty and are led by different people (usually someone with local knowledge), so if you have a favourite walk you would like to introduce to us do let us know, we are always looking for new and interesting routes. Alternatively if you just want to come along as part of the group and enjoy a good day out that's fine. We usually end the walk close to a pub or café.
Note – You don't need any qualifications to lead a walk because there will always be someone present that is qualified to an appropriate standard.
How do I join in?
Details of the walks will be posted on the region calendar in the month before the walk. If you want to join a walk then please send your name, home contact number and details of a next of kin to email@example.com two weeks before the walk. The walk leader will then ensure that you have up to date information about the walk.
What do I need to bring?
Just the usual requirements for a day on the hill:
- walking boots/shoes
- a rucksack containing a packed lunch, a drink, waterproofs, spare clothing, gloves, hat/sunhat, personal 1st aid kit
- if you wish to do so, a map of the area.
If you would like us to email you with details of the group's upcoming walks please email email@example.com and ask to be added to the walking group mailing list.

$1,500,000 Settlement For Negligent Surgical Care
A 52-year-old man who suffered a crush injury because he was kept in a prone position during a nine-hour kidney stone surgery will receive $1,500,000 as compensation. The man, who was admittedly obese, was improperly positioned, and remained so during the excessively long surgery. After the surgery, he developed rhabdomyolosis, kidney failure and spinal nerve injury. He suffered bilateral lower extremity paralysis and required a long period of rehabilitation. Today, his left leg remains impaired and he uses a walker.

Crime - Sacto 911
Sacramento police arrest 20 suspected Strawberry Manor gang members
A Sacramento Police Department investigation into a Strawberry Manor neighborhood gang has resulted in the arrest of 20 suspected gang members.
Police announced the arrests at a news conference Tuesday, saying the suspects are believed to be connected with crimes including attempted murder, human trafficking, robbery, narcotics and firearm-related charges.
The investigation, dubbed Operation Challenger, began last November amid an increase in violence between the gang, who call themselves the Strawberry Manor Gangster Bloods, and the neighboring Del Paso Heights Bloods, said Capt. Marc Coopwood, who runs the department's investigation division.
The high-profile 2015 killing of 17-year-old Jaulon "JJ" Clavo, a Grant High School football player, prompted the investigation, said interim police Chief Brian Louie.
"While there has been an arrest in this case, almost a year ago, we believe that there are other gang members that are involved and who assisted in this murder," Louie said.
Clavo was shot in the neck while riding in a car with friends along Silver Eagle Road and Mabel Street on Nov. 13, 2015, hours before he was supposed to join his teammates on the football field.
Police charged 16-year-old Keymontae Lindsey with murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and a gang enhancement in connection to the shooting days later.
Sam Somers Jr., the police chief at the time, said Clavo did not know Lindsey and was not the intended victim in the shooting. Prosecutors handling the case later said Lindsey was "affiliated with or committed the shooting in service to" the Strawberry Manor Bloods street gang.
Along with the arrests, police served 20 search warrants and seized 11 firearms that they suspect were used to commit crimes. Coopwood said the Police Department finished its investigation Jan. 19, but is still seeking gang members who may have fled the state after hearing about the operation.
Police said they were processing evidence collected from Operation Challenger to make additional arrests. When asked if any of the 20 people were arrested in connection to Clavo's shooting, Coopwood said the department was hopeful that they could use the evidence in the operation to "put the missing pieces together."
As of Tuesday, the department said the Strawberry Manor Gangster Bloods could have as many as 100 members.
North Sacramento community leader Derrell Roberts, who organized the reward fund for information about Clavo's death, praised police for taking guns off the street. He said the arrests made him "pause as someone who is trying to promote prevention and give positive direction" to youths.
"If anything, it's a reminder to stay connected with the young people in the community," he said.
Nicole Clavo, Clavo's mother, did not respond to The Sacramento Bee for a comment Tuesday.
Agencies including the California Department of Justice, the California Highway Patrol and the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office assisted in the operation, according to the Police Department.

"Make your college and university Information Retrieval courses more exciting"
Do your Information Retrieval courses look like a programming exercises? Do students have to deal mostly with installing and running experiments, rather than getting hands-on experience with applying retrieval models? And is playing with retrieval models limited to the models hardwired in the software? Perhaps you would like to try Spinque Desk. It offers search by strategy, a paradigm in which complex retrieval models can be expressed. It lets students play with algorithms used in modern-day information retrieval systems, without the need for programming. Spinque Desk makes teaching about text-retrieval, recommendation, and other engines much more focused.
Evaluation Metrics
Spinque Desk comes with a built-in evaluation system and assessment tools. This allows to organise your course as an actual information retrieval evaluation challenge. Students can design search strategies, get qualitative feedback by having other students assess their engine, and get direct feedback on their search strategy attempts. Students can test on a training set, and inspect the results. Examiners can run the strategies created by the students on the actual topics. No need for creating the same software setup.
User interface generation
Combined with Spinque EQUIP students can perform user experiments, by directly generating user interfaces from their search strategies. Even faceted navigation and link navigation is included, without the need for additional programming. It is ideal for exploratory search scenarios.
- Integrated test system. The system can be setup with training-topics and test-topics, allowing students to participate in actual retrieval.
- Standard building blocks for various operations, such as TF-IDF, BM25, Language Modeling.
- All strategies are built on solid foundations; the expressiveness of Probabilistic Relation Algebra (PRA) and the robustness of Structured Query Languange (SQL).
- Connects to OAI-PMH repositories. Allows to create new and exciting search applications (for example on your universities repository).
- All indices are created, and stored in a Database Management System, making sure standard operations are executed correctly. Compression of data-structures is therefore not needed, and so no problems arise from bit-shifting issues, or overflows. Bringing focus to the actual retrieval models.
Curious about what Spinque can do for your course?
Please contact us.

Got the boys this afternoon after school so thought I would treat them by making some Chocolate Cookies which they both adore. However, after making one batch it became apparent very quickly that one batch wouldn't suffice. As Mike got a taste of them…..
The Recipe is one of Mary Berry's from her 'Mary Berry Cooks' Book.
Double Choc Chip Cookies – Makes about 16 cookies
- the mixture can be made and shaped into a log then chilled in the fridge for up to a week. Slice and bake as in step 4. The baked cookies will keep for two weeks in a cake tin
- Freeze – the uncooked dough will keep for 1 month in the freezer – defrost in the fridge and cut off slices to bake as above. Or freeze the cooked cookies for up to 3 months.
- 75g (3oz) softened butter
- 75g (3oz) golden caster sugar
- 75g (3oz) light Muscovado sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 150g (5oz) Self Raising flour
- 25g (1oz) cocoa powder
- 100g (4oz) plain, milk or white chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper
- Place the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until soft and creamy. Gradually beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
- Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips and mix to a soft dough. Roll the mixture into 16 golf ball sized balls; the mixture will be a bit sticky, so chill for about 15 minutes before rolling if you have time. Flatten each biscuit with the palm of your hand to about 5mm (1/4in) thick. They will spread to about 8cm (3in) wide so make sure there is plenty of space between them on the prepared trays to allow for this amount of spread.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Baking them 12-13 minutes will give softer cookies, 15 minutes will dry them out a little more to make them crisper. leave to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before lifting on to a wire rack to cool (After testing we liked them baked for 14 minutes).
*Instead of chocolate chips, add dried cranberries, raisins or chopped dried apricots if you prefer. For vanilla cookies, omit the cocoa powder and use the same quantity of flour instead
Everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie, but while some like them crisp. others prefer a soft and chewy cookie. So here is a brilliantly versatile recipe that can be made wither way. The trick with a soft, cake-like cookie is to use self-raising flour, as this makes the biscuits lighter in texture. If you like a harder cookie, substitute plain flour for self-raising.

How To Say "No" and Not Feel Guilty
Have you ever said "yes" to someone when you really didn't want to, or perhaps you knew you couldn't deliver on the promise? Don't worry, we all have. It's completely natural that we want to please the people in our lives.
Most people avoid saying "no" to other people because they feel guilty for saying it. This is a common trait around the world. But then we often resent the commitment we said "yes" to when we wanted to say "no" to begin with.
