We would all like our children to achieve the best grades in school, but for some it is a lot easier than others. If you suspect your child is struggling academically, it is important to help them get back on track. Here are some tips that should help you help your children…
Food for the brain – What your child eats does matter, especially when it comes to their academic performance. If your child has eaten breakfast, their performance at school will improve considerably. Not only this, but your child needs to drink plenty of water, and you need to ensure their blood-sugar levels aren't too low, as this can cause concentration to be impaired.
Brush up on your skills – Most parents are shocked to see the type of homework their child gets. If you, like most of us, can't answer the questions your kid has been given, it would be a good idea to brush up on your skills too. After all, subjects, especially maths, have changed considerably since we were at school. There is no more borrowing and carrying in sums! You are going to need to help yourself before you can help your child, unfortunately.
Turn off the television – Does your child attempt to do their homework while the television is going? If so, it's time to turn it off! Continuous partial attention means that the facts you are trying o learn are only going to get the periphery of memory.
Improve their quality of sleep – If your child is struggling to sleep, you need to focus on this. There is a direct link between behavioural issues in children and a lack of sleep. If you improve your child's sleep quality, you may notice that their academic performance improves in tandem.
Inspire and encourage them, but do not nag – This is where a lot of parents go wrong when trying to help their children achieve more at school. You should never nag your child. Instead, you need to inspire and encourage them. Phil Beadle, a teacher and author of several educational books, claims that 80 per cent of a child's achievement is based on parental inspiration.
Get some help – There is no shame in asking for some assistance. If you are struggling to help your child achieve more at school, there are professional educators that will be more than happy to help you. Plus, sometimes it can b effective to have an outside perspective.
If you follow the advice that has been provided, you should be able to give your child the academic assistance they need. It is important to encourage and inspire them, rather than nagging them. Also, don't be afraid to ask for some professional assistance if needed!

It's very difficult for me to narrow down my favorite polishes of the year but since I adore polish and want to be an accomplished nail painter at some time in my life I decided to share half a dozen of my favorites. Leaving something out doesn't mean I love it any less, just that I didn't have room for it!
SPARITUAL GOLD in RISING SPIRIT – The bottle belies the beauty within. A subtle but stunning gold that wears magnificently and even repels smudges!
KBSHIMMER FALL 2016 POLISHES make it impossible to choose just one. I love every single one of these. KBShimmer is an astonishing nail company and a brand you shouldn't miss. I'm sharing The Best Mum Ever as my choice but it was hard to pick. If Oh My Ganache had photographed better that's what I'd have shown you.
LAUREN B ROSE BOWL stole my heart with its metallic red. I love all the Lauren B polishes I've tried but this takes me back to my all time favorite: cool toned red!
Speaking of how much I love red I've chosen Dr.'S REMEDY REVIVE RUBY RED. This shimmer infused crimson polish is made by a podiatrist: "Dr.'s Remedy is the first nail polish that received approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. It doesn't contain any harmful ingredients likeFormaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, Phthalates, Parabens, or camphor. It's even recommended as a post treatment follow-up to nail fungus and ingrown nails. To top it off it comes in 30 beautiful shades."
I'll cheat and throw in another Dr.S Remedy polish that is so spring perfect that it makes me long for the sun: BOUNTIFUL BLUE.
I needed to add a pink because I'm a pink girl at heart. Unfortunately one of my favorite pink shades was Limited Edition but you never know if it's still available. SALLY HANSEN MIRACLE GEL FLOWER CROWN is one of the best I wore this year. It's described as a pearlescent petal pink which is a perfect description.
Since I prefer a polish that is holographic it's easy to understand why KBShimmer makes another appearance on this list. This time it's ALONG FOR THE TIDE from Summer 2016. I see shifts from pink to violet and from blue to purple.
Last is from Trust Fund Beauty, another brand that I've loved the polishes from. The one that stands out most to me is DIRTY THOUGHTS (although the pink Do U Know Who My Father Is could be the perfect cream color).
Do you have favorite polishes from 2016? Do you have one you see here that you'd love to own? — Marcia

Kirstyn is giving away a copy of Urban Scandinavian Sewing and six fat quarters from the Urban Scandinavian Basics collection. Your comment below enters you to win!
There's no longarm or fancy quilting equipment required to make this simple appliquéd runner! It's easy and fun to make… It's perfect for some last minute holiday décor. This project is a variation of the Appliqued Winter Quilt from Urban Scandinavian Sewing (C&T Publishing/Stash Books), and uses fabric from the Urban Scandinavian collection (for P&B Textiles).
Finished size: 13″ x 70″ (give or take)
This size fits across a double bed. You can add or decrease the length of the fabric depending on the size that's right for you.
Note: If you are using solid white fabric for the background, use bleached white cotton batting and bleached white muslin.
- Fabric for front and back: 2 yards total
- Fabric for appliqués: 5-6 coordinating fabrics – 11″ x 18″
- Muslin: 2 yards (24″ wide)
- Cotton Batting: 2 yards – low loft
- 2 yards of iron-on adhesive (Heat'n'Bond FeatherLite)
- Scissors
- Thread to coordinate with fabric
- Hand sewing needle (for hand basting)
- Straight Pins
- Safety pins (alternative to hand basting)
- Measuring tape and ruler
- Rotary cutter
- Straight edge ruler (Omnigrid and/or T Square)
- Cutting mat
- (Optional) Walking Foot
Before cutting, preshrink your fabric; wash and dry (according to manufacturer's recommendations). Press your fabric and then trim off the selvedges.
- Ground fabric: Cut (2) 14″ x 71″ (one for front, one for back)
- Muslin: Cut (1) 18″ x 72″
- Batting: Cut (1) 18″ x 72″
- Appliqué fabrics: Cut into rectangular pieces 18″ x 11″.
Make It:
1. Appliqué Fabric: Apply your iron-on adhesive to the backside of any of the fabric you intend to use for the appliqués. Appliqué fabric should be cut into rectangular pieces about 18″ x 11″.
2. Remove the paper backing from the appliqué fabric, then cut random, long (18″) triangular shapes measuring about 1 1/2″ at the wide point to about 1/2″ – 1″ at the small end. It's not about perfect cutting… It's the random cuts that give this project its character.
3. Lay out the ground fabric you will use for the top (face up). With the adhesive sides down, lay the appliqué strips across the panel. Place them kind of wonky and crooked, layering random colors and shapes. Use your iron to heat set the appliqué shapes onto the ground fabric. Only press the center of the appliqués to avoid getting adhesive onto your ironing board.
4. Trim any appliqué fabric that extends off the sides of the ground fabric, then finish pressing all the strips into place.
5. Once you've got the appliqués in place, take a moment to measure and square up the panel so it measures approximately 14″ x 71″. As you square things up, your measurements might be slightly different which is okay!
6. Layer the muslin, the batting and the appliquéd panel (face up). The batting and muslin should extend past the top panel fabric a couple inches on each side. You can either pin together, or hand-baste. Hand basting takes a little more time, but it seems like the layers lay flatter and shift less when quilting.
7. Take the basted layers over to the sewing machine. Use matching (or contrasting) thread and apply a running stitch down the sides of the appliqués (about 1/8″ from the raw edges). I like to work from the center out to prevent puckering. Once the appliqués are stitched down, go back over the whole runner using the same running stitch in a long random zigzag pattern to add quilting to the background space. The stitching is meant to be random and loose, so just go for it!
8. Trim off the excess batting and muslin and square it up again so it measures approximately 14″ x 71″. No worries if your measurements are slightly different! Squaring things up can do that.
9. Lay out the backing fabric and place the finished quilt top on top of the backing fabric (face sides together). Smooth everything out, square it up one last time, and carefully pin it all together.
10. Stitch around all four sides (using a ¼" seam allowance), leaving an open gap along one of the long sides of about 12″.
11. Trim off the corners (being careful not to cut into the stitching) and turn the quilt right side out. Fold in the raw edge of the open area – press flat, pin – then hand stitch the open area closed.
12. For an extra nice flat finished edge, press the entire runner then stitch around the entire perimeter of the quilt about 1/8″ from the outer edge.

Long-term collaboration will see the sustainability-focused community campus through to its completion scheduled for 2017
Singapore, 7 November 2016. AkzoNobel, a leading global paints and coatings company and a major producer of specialty chemicals, announced today that it will provide sustainable coatings for non-profit social enterprise Ground-Up Initiative's facilities in a long-term partnership that will see the eco-site through to its completion.
Buildings at Kampung Kampus (former Bottle Tree Park), the organization's 26,000sqm sustainability-focused campus, will feature eco-products and expertise from AkzoNobel. This includes Ground-Up Initiative's "Heartquarters" office and training building which is set to be Singapore's only other net zero energy building, three container classrooms, and other outdoor infrastructure.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Ground-Up Initiative whose cause is in line with AkzoNobel's global Human Cities initiative, which is to help urban areas adapt to rapid urbanization," said Mr Ton Büchner, AkzoNobel's CEO who made the announcement during the company's Destination Planet Possible staff community program at Kampung Kampus.
"Protecting the facilities in this inspiring environment at Kampung Kampus with our sustainable coatings and expertise complements our Planet Possible philosophy of creating more with fewer resources," he added.
Netherlands-based Mr Büchner, along with co-host Mr Henry Kwek, MP for Nee Soon GRC, also led close to 400 AkzoNobel staff, family members and business partners in planting 51 trees in celebration of Singapore's 51st birthday. The group also engaged in various eco-focused activities such as garden herb potting.
Energy-saving coatings
The net zero energy building which houses the "Heartquarters" is endorsed by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), and has completed phase one of its construction. It is coated with AkzoNobel's heat-reflective and anti-bacteria coatings that are certified by the Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) labelling scheme, adding value to the building's Green Mark Platinum target.
The Dulux Professional Weathershieldcoatings with patented Keep Cool Technology by AkzoNobel, which are used on the exterior of the building, are also Singapore Green Label certified products that can reduce surface temperatures by up to 5°C. This keeps the interiors cool, and leads to significant power savings for air conditioning and fans.
AkzoNobel also collaborated with the local artists at Mural Lingo, an arts, education and publishing platform, to cover three container classrooms at Kampung Kampus in vibrant sunflower murals.
Kampung Kampus, which spans across more than four football fields, is an educational campus dedicated to sustainable living, community building, and nurturing resilient society leaders. It is home to four social initiatives, each with a different purpose:
- WOW Kampung – a social enterprise for experiential environmental education and character development for students and teachers
- Touchwood – encourages practical craft skills such as carpentry
- Guild – focuses on technological innovations for a sustainable community
- Farmily – which encourages a healthy lifestyle and extra income for the elderly through urban farming
Currently, 65% of Kampung Kampus is now up and running, including the Ground-Up Initiative's zero energy office building, the making space and an outdoor learning space by the ponds. The site is targeted to be completed by 2017.

DIY Cookie Stand using a Pirouline Tin
If you're new here, I post a recycled Pirouline tin craft every month! You can find them all here.
This month I decided to combine a pirouline tin with a glass dish that I picked up at the thrift store to create a small, simple cookie stand. This is perfect for displaying those tasty treats until you've eaten them all!
I put pecans on these cookies that I made, but wouldn't it be tasty to put small pieces of Pirouline cookies on them?
Supplies: Empty Pirouline Tin, Scrapbook Paper, Mod Podge, Strong Glue (I used e6000), Glass Dish.
1. Start by cutting down a piece of patterned scrapbook paper so that it will wrap nicely around your tin. I love these butterflies. They are lovely, but because they're black and white they're not too busy, you know?
2. Brush Mod Podge onto the back of your paper and adhere it around your tin. I also went over the outside of the paper with Mod Podge to seal it.
3. Let your Mod Podge dry completely.
4. Use a strong glue (like e6000) and squirt it around the top edge of your tin.
5. Place your dish upside down on a flat surface. Place your tin with the glue side down onto the middle of your dish.Add more glue around the tin where it meets the dish.
6. Let your glue dry for a few hours (or overnight!) to make sure it's fully dry.
If you're wondering about the dish- it's a small glass saucer I found at the thrift store and then added washi tape too. It's fully sealed and won't hurt the cookies. ;)

Engadget are reporting that next week B&N will hold a press event at their Union Square store in NYC. Right now everyone's speculating on what type of ereader B&N will announce. I'm betting that this will be the large screen device I predicted based on the FCC paperwork we saw back in July.
Based on B&N's trademark filings, the new device could be called the Nook 2 or the Nook Kids. (Or it might be called somehting entirely different.)
I won't be attending; it's not worth a trip to New York. I can cover this event without leaving my desk just as well as if I were there.

The pressure to find new ways of working continues, not just to meet the financial challenges facing the sector but also to deliver more effective services which better meet the needs of users and communities. Digital and networked technologies can provide part of the solution. In Suffolk we are grasping the opportunities this brings and are coming together to explore options and find better – and faster – ways to connect with the public and deliver services. But there are still opportunities to strengthen our ambition.
Although innovations across science and technology over the past century have radically increased life expectancy, technology has not yet delivered its full potential in this arena. Harnessing the power of the digital revolution is key to meeting the challenges ahead and in delivering high-quality sustainable health and care services. It has already transformed the standard, cost and accessibility of many other industries and there is a need for this kind of systemic change through innovations to meet the needs of future health and care services in Suffolk.
The key objectives of the event are to provide thought Leadership in technology and innovation in health and social care and to build on the ever-growing collaboration across health and care systems in Suffolk.
The event will include inputs from leading national figures, including Lord Victor Adebowale, Chief Executive of Turning Point and NHS England Board meeting, local contributions and showcases of existing and emerging practice across the UK and beyond.

The Manifest Presence of God
Regular price $0.00
I have known Walter Beuttler since the mid-1960s. He visited and taught in my church for many years and was a good friend. His teachings and style are quite unique. This teaching has been transcribed word for word from Audio-Tape as accurately as possible. Walter Beuttler has his own set of words which are not in the dictionary but are unique to him. These messages were recorded in the late sixties.
Walter Beuttler was a Bible teacher at NBI (a.k.a. EBI, Eastern Bible Institute) for 32 years traveling worldwide since early 1950's until a year before he went to be with the Lord in 1974.
All scripture is from the KJV except where noted.
I trust these messages will be a real blessing to you.

Please allow one week before contacting the surgery regarding your results (unless advised otherwise by your doctor) as this allows enough time for most standard requests to be processed.

A blood test is when a sample of blood is taken for testing in a laboratory. Blood tests have a wide range of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test. For example, a blood test can be used to:
You can find out more about blood tests, their purpose and the way they are performed on the NHS Choices website.
An X-ray is a widely used diagnostic test to examine the inside of the body. X-rays are a very effective way of detecting problems with bones, such as fractures. They can also often identify problems with soft tissue, such as pneumonia or breast cancer.
If you have a X-ray, you will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed is between the X-ray tube and the photographic plate.
An X-ray is usually carried out by a radiographer, a healthcare professional who specialises in using imaging technology, such as X-rays and ultrasound scanners.
You can find out more about x-ray tests, how they are performed, their function and the risks by visiting the NHS Choices website.
24 Hour ECGs
The Tewkesbury practices have been part of a scheme since May 2011 to provide patients with a 24 hour ECG service initiated at the surgery if this test is required by your doctor. This test previously required patients to attend the hospital.
All patients are therefore able to attend for fitting of the ECG equipment in a routine Practice Nurse Clinic and return the following day at the same time for removal. The recording is subsequently sent via the internet for analysis and the result returned to your GP within five working days.
The benefits of this service are :

The Two Key Skills
Executing your race warm-up requires you to balance two important skills: efficient execution and time management. Your goal is to maximize efficiency and ensure that the warm-up is productive. You have to keep the big picture in mind, not just what you do when you're on the water.
Focus on Familiarity
Familiarity with your warm-up and the time it takes to complete is key to ensuring things run smoothly on race day. Practice your warm-up ahead of time and discuss with your coach what you should prioritize so that your sole focus can be on getting the crew ready to race.
Before Every Race
It's your job to make sure your rowers know when the land warm-up starts . Announce the time remaining, calling twenty, ten, five, and two minute friendly warnings. This gives your rowers time to change, go to the bathroom and mentally prepare for the race. Keep everyone apprised of how much time is left so no one has an excuse for being late.
Land warm-up
This is the usual pre-practice warm-up that you do every day. This can consist of basic exercises such as elbow rotations, leg swings, squats , rotational lunges, with each one lasting for 30-60 seconds. You know your routine; give your rowers time to get it done.
Coaches talk, hands-on, launching
You've done this all before, but the amount of time it takes may vary depending on how far your boats are from the launch site and/or how long the wait is at the docks. It's in your best interest to keep an eye on the dock activity throughout the regatta.
Go to the dock officials an hour or so before you expect to launch to see if they recommend arriving a little early. Don't underestimate the impact a five-minute walk or a ten-minute wait time can have on your warm-up, especially if you don't expect it.
On-water warm-up
This is where your ability to be flexible and adapt is going to be tested the most. Have your race warm-up written in your notebook. You'll have this because you should be practicing your full pre-race warm-up at least once a week during the season. If not, ask your coach what they want for the race warm-up. But, make sure you also have a "Plan B" and a "Plan C" in your back pocket in case you get stuck on the water longer than intended or you have to cut the warm-up short.
- Plan B is what to add if you have extra time. Calling steady-state rowing with specific focus calls will help your rowers keep their head in the warm-up without taking them to the edge.
- Plan C is what to cut if the timing before the race gets tight. Shortening your warm-up takes forethought. Make sure you discuss with your coach what can be trimmed (typically basic drills) and what is a must-do (typically warming pieces and race starts) . For sprint races, try to get in at least one full-pressure start.
For sprint races: Final prep
For sprint races, build in five minutes to do a full start in your lane before locking onto the stake boat. Beware, you must be experienced at locking onto the stake boat to execute this part of the warm-up. If the conditions are poor or you're new to stake boats, skip this part of the warm-up. Having a calm approach to the stake boats will benefit your rowers more than doing a practice start in the lane. Locking onto the stake boats is best done slowly and calmly. Practice this skill before you get to the race course.
You must be locked onto the stake boats (sprint races) or in bow-number order near the starting chute (head races) two minutes prior to the start of your race or you risk getting a warning from the race officials.

Thoughts on how to implement Human Factors in healthcare, and improve patient safety
Thursday, January 2, 2014
Is there a business model for patient safety?
The report that
Patient Safety Technologies was bought for $120 mln
. might be a sign that the business market believe that there is a business model for patient safety. Patient Safety Technologies claim to fame is a $10 per surgery
bar coding technology
(THE SURGICOUNT SAFETY-SPONGE® SYSTEM) that aims to reduce the incidence of sponges left in the body after surgery.

A 53-year-old "Twilight" fan who was camping outside the San Diego Convention Center in anticipation of Thursday's Hall H panel died this morning after being struck by a car.
According to U-T San Diego, police say the woman was running across Harbor Street at about 9:20 a.m. when she tried to stop to avoid an oncoming Subaru but instead tripped into the car. She was unconscious and bleeding from her head when she was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The woman's name is being withheld until her family can be notified.
Examiner.com points to a photo on what's believed to be the woman's Twitter account, showing her with friends at the front of the line for the final "Twilight" panel. Fans of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novels, and the blockbuster movie franchise they spawned, have become a significant presence at Comic-Con International over the past few years, where many of them camp outside the convention center for days in advance in a tent-and-sleeping-bag city dubbed "Camp Twilight."
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" panel will be held Thursday at 10 a.m.

Sometimes, stuff I do just makes me so happy.
I adore my illustrator Jenn Solo. She and I have been working together for over a year now.
We've been making new illustrated fiction together.
I've been narrating some of it, working with other narrators too.
A month or so ago I had this idea for a new series of stories about Little Sprocket, an age player in her 20's, who's new and exploring.
Sprocket knows she likes diapers, knows she wants to be spanked, but isn't at all sure about anything else.
I also had this kinda bizarre, meta, experimental idea to give Sprocket her own fetlife profile.
I was telling my friends ResonantYes and roadnottaken of the Love in Brief podcast about it, and asked them for help narrating it. And they had this amazing idea to do a mixed narration to record it. Part RY, part rnt, all awesome.
It turned out so, so good.
But don't take my word for it, take a listen to a little bit of it for yourself.
I'm beside myself with glee at how good it sounds.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the lack of "Window Shopping Wednesday" last week. A lot of cakes and packing for a camping holiday made things a bit hectic! The plus side is that making the Royal Baby Cake made me go hunting for a new piece of equipment.
I stencilled the royal icing crowns using a pallet knife. I'm fairly pleased with the result as it was my first stencilling attempt, but I'd like to get the icing a bit more level next time.
Using a normal pallet knife, I found that I couldn't get close enough for a level result. An angled pallet knife would make it easier to get closer to the cake for a more even result.
This week, I've been looking a the following pallet knives:
This Tala pallet knife is from Dunelm Mill. It is currently priced at £3.29. It has a narrow, rounded tip to make it easier to spread buttercream and royal icing.
You can find the direct link here.
Lakeland. It is currently priced at £4.79. The tip is still rounded, but this knife does not narrow like the Tala one.
You can find the direct link here.
This Wilton / PME pallet knife is from My Cake Decorating Shop. It is currently priced at £4.99 and looks fairly similar to the one from Lakeland.
You can find the direct link here.
Cake Stuff. It is currently priced at £7.95, but still a saving on the £9.99 retail price. It is slightly smaller than the others at 8", but still a good size for decorating with.
You can find the direct link here.
I'm definitely going to pick one of these up before having another go at stencilling!
Which one would you choose?
Have you used any of the products I've shown here? If so, what do you think of them?
I'll be sure to review whichever ones I do buy, so I will keep you all posted!

Wearing: handmade flower crown headband, Romance Was Born 'Cedric' denim peacoat, Romance was Born white floral dress, ASOS clutch, Fossil watch and See by Chloe sneaker wedges
{Photos: Tom}
Love a little Romance in my life. It goes without saying that this geometric print denim peacoat makes me extremely happy. It takes the gloom out of an otherwise rainy day in Melbourne and makes Winter feel like Summer. Hiding underneath its roominess is so easy and comfortable. It makes me want to commit to buying printed coats only. If only they were easy to come by in the first place!

Major wind farm development 'would hit seabird colonies'
The RSPB opposes the wind farms planned for the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay.
The RSPB has applied to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal against a major wind farm development which it believes would hit seabird colonies.
The Scottish Government gave consent to four major wind farms in the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Tay in 2014, but the RSPB launched a judicial review.
The charity initially won a court victory but it was later overturned, clearing the development and prompting the RSPB to seek a further appeal.
Scotland's Court of Session last month refused the application for the case to be sent to the Supreme Court, but the RSPB has now applied directly to the UK's highest court.
The charity said it recognises the role renewable energy has in reducing emissions but the current project could lead to major declines in the population of gannets, puffins and kittiwakes.
The Scottish Government said it is "focused on creating a sustainable energy future for Scotland".
The wind farm projects could generate enough power to supply the equivalent of 1.4 million homes.
RSPB Scotland director Anne McCall said: "RSPB Scotland has not taken this decision lightly, however our concerns with the manner in which Scottish ministers' took their decisions in 2014 remain undiminished.
"Additionally, the issues of the case and the recent inner house judgment extend beyond simply the impacts of these developments on important seabird populations. Therefore due to the implications of this latest decision for many aspects of our work, we felt we had no choice but to apply to the Supreme Court.
"We are hopeful that our application is successful and that we are granted leave to appeal so these important issues of public interest can be considered in detail by the Supreme Court."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "We note the RSPB's decision, which comes after the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled, decisively, in favour of Scottish ministers and subsequently dismissed the RSPB's application for permission to appeal to the UK Supreme Court.
"The Scottish Government is focused on creating a sustainable energy future for Scotland so that Scotland can meet its obligations to fight climate change, and thereby tackling a key threat to marine ecosystems."

Chaser for the NYC Guy that was AWOL 20+ Times!
In addition to the Story of the Chaser and the NYC Escapee, that may have been the same guy that I was charged with as a Chaser at MCB Twentynine Palms in the early 1970's. The Judge at this individual's Court Martial ordered me in the Courtroom to ensure that my weapon was loaded in front of the prisoner, with an order to shoot the SOB if he attempted to escape! I delivered him to the Base Brig. By the time I returned to the Judge Advocate Office on the hill, the guy had escaped out the back door of the brig and out across the desert, while the jail was being swabbed down!

The equally dreamy and sunny/surfy Dum Dum Girls were headlining, but the two openers, Seattle's Grave Babies and Portland's Blouse, served as impeccable appetizers to the main course. Part of the reason for this is that the three bands' sounds were complementary without being overly similar. Grave Babies, the first, was also the heaviest. The definitive elements of its sound were dual percussion (i.e. live drums and programmed beats) and Morrissey-esque vocals that seemed poised to succumb under the weight of liberal reverb effects. Grave Babies gave the most innovative performance of the night. Blouse's sound also leaned heavily on reverb, but lead singer Charlie Hilton's songwriting tended toward the melodic and artisanal, and the band tended to slide into relaxed jam interludes for long periods of time. These two openers represented the yin and yang of Dum Dum Girls' sound, Grave Babies being the edgy, hard-hitting yin and Blouse the sunny, jangly yang. There was a longer break between Blouse and Dum Dum Girls, during which time the operators of Neumos did something that I'd like to see repeated: a sort of mini DJ set between acts. The set list was a total genre departure. They were bumping Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. But it got some of us to start dancing while we waited for the headliner. It was lovely to see the venue crew put a little extra thought into the interlude music. When Dum Dum Girls came on, the set was nice and snappy. Most of the band's songs adhere to the three-minute verse-chorus-verse formula, so the band was able to bust out a ton of back catalogue material during its hour-long performance. The live versions of the newer songs were curveballs. The latest LP, "Too True" has very slick production that diverges slightly from the band's older sound, suggesting that the band had drifted away from rock and toward dream pop. This turned out not to be the case. The new tracks sounded delightfully fuzzy and surfy, just like the older material. Exploring those sonic change-ups live might be a good idea in the future, but for now, it was more than enough to see these three competent bands play back to back.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Six Montana Freemen (see 1993-1994, March 25, 1996, and June 13, 1996) are tried in a district court in Billings, Montana, accused of being accessories to helping fugitives avoid arrest during the FBI siege of the Freemen compound. Four Freemen will be ejected from the courtroom for being disruptive during the trial; the four attempt to derail the proceedings by cursing and screaming. All six Freemen have refused to participate in their defense, rejected their court-appointed counsels, and refused to dress themselves for the trial. "It's a difficult trial to get prepared for," says Lisa Swanson, who represents defendant James Hance. "He won't talk to me. The only way he would talk with me is if I would denounce my membership in the American Bar Association." Three are dragged in and out of the courtroom after refusing to walk, and one is transported in a wheelchair. As they are taken into the courtroom, they yell "non-assumptus," their term for their claim that the judge has no authority over them. Another defendant, Steven Hance, yells at the presiding judge, "Let the record show I'm placing you under arrest," and curses him. Hance then knocks over a chair and tries to knock over a computer monitor. A third defendant, James Hance, curses the US Attorney prosecuting the case, Sherry Matteucci. [New York Times, 3/16/1998; Los Angeles Times, 4/1/1998; Billings Gazette, 3/25/2006] Five of the defendants will be convicted (see March 31, 1998).

In honour of National Children's Dental Health Month, our Calgary family dentist has listed some fun and creative ways that parents can teach their children about the importance of oral health.
Teaching your children how to take proper care of their teeth and the importance of oral health can be extremely challenging, especially when they're very young! However, it's crucial that you instil good dental habits in your young one early on because doing so will:
As a parent, one of your most important jobs is to make oral health care as fun and approachable as possible by mitigating any fear or anxiety your child might have about visiting your family dentist.
Replace any negative feelings with optimism and instruction using these fun and informative oral health care tips.
Brushing is a cornerstone of any good dental hygiene routine but it's not always easy to get young children to do it right. One of the best ways to help first-time brushers is by brushing your teeth with them.
This will allow you to:
Protecting your child's teeth from decay is very important, but it can often be a struggle to get your little one to clean his/her teeth every day! A reward system is an innovative and easy way to get the job done without any tears or tantrums.
Delayed Rewards
Give your child a gold star or sticker every time he/she cleans their teeth properly. When they reach a certain number of stickers, make sure to give them a reward such as a new toy, book, or trip to their favourite restaurant!
Instant Rewards
If your child needs instant rewards, try linking each brushing session to a prize such as extra TV time or their favourite story at bedtime.
Scheduling regular dental checkups with your family dentist is a crucial part of good oral hygiene for children. It is recommended that you should visit the dentist every 6 months to:
However, a trip to the family dentist is not always easy for little ones. Make sure to reward your child after each appointment with some fun family time such as going to the park, buying them a new toy, or planning a picnic.
By reading books with your child, you can help them form positive associations with health care and get them excited about looking after their teeth! Try adding fun children's books to your home, as well as other dental games and materials to teach your kids about dental health care.
Our Calgary family dentists' favourite books to boost kids' enthusiasm for good dental hygiene include:
At Marlborough Dental Centre, our Calgary dentists offer a wide range of family dental care including tooth extractions, Invisalign, sedation dentistry and teeth whitening to give children of all ages the healthy, beautiful smile they deserve!

I have had a lifelong interest in natural therapies, having worked in the health food industry for 7 years and always seeking to use complementary or alternative medicine where possible.
A while ago, I made the decision to follow my heart and study in the natural therapies field. I chose massage therapy as I really believe in the power of touch, and I've seen first-hand how people's lives have been changed by massage. It took me quite a while to bring my dream to fruition, but I finally threw in my corporate job to study massage full-time, founding Tara Goulding Massage Therapy in 2006.
As well as running my mobile massage business, I have also had experience working in a clinical environment, alongside a Chiropractor, and in a reputable Day Spa.
I hold a Diploma in Remedial Massage from Australasian College of Natural Therapies, and am a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (member number 20673). I am also currently undertaking university study for a Bachelor of Health Science (Food and Nutrition) degree. I hold a current Senior First Aid Certificate and am also fully insured with Medical Malpractice and Public Liability insurance. I also hold a current Certificate for Self Employed People in Child-Related Employment (certificate number 87D9D9/10/06/2011).

Recommended Strategic Five Year Plan of Ecological Committee for a Greener & Cleaner Community
The Mandate of the Ecological Resource Committee is to make Blind River a Greener Community. The Committee's role is to advise Council on Environmental issues and to encourage and support environmentally friendly practise throughout the community.
The Ecological Resource Committee reviews policies and procedures concerning all aspects of waste management including garbage and blue box pickup and hazardous waste programs. The committee sponsors the "Community Clean Up Day", "Bulk Pickup Days", "Recycling Days", and "Household Hazardous Waste Day"
Community Clean Up Day is an annual event sponsored by The Town of Blind River to help beautify the community and to reduce the amount of random garbage. In order to maximize participation and turnout the date is selected in consultation with local schools, community groups, companies, and the public at large. The group canvasses the parks, public and some private property, local streets and the highway. Bags are provided for and picked up for proper disposal by the Committee. If you would like to participate in the next "Community Clean Up Day" please contact the Town Hall at 705-356-2251 for times and dates.
Bulk Pickup Days are pre-selected days each month. The Town of Blind River's waste management contractor will pick up non-household waste. Simply place your items at the curbside before the scheduled pick up day. To find out the next bulk pickup date you can visit the local events calendar of this website or you can call Town Hall at 705-356-2251.
Recycling Day in Blind River is every Thursday alternate from plastic, glass and metal one week and paper/cardboard the following week. For more information on what products are considered recyclable call Town Hall at 705-356-2251 or the waste management contractor at 705-356-4118.
Every two years the Town of Blind River designates a day where citizens can drop off items considered hazardous wastes. The majority of items include: batteries, paint cans, aerosol cans, oil can, used oil and contaminated gas products. Neighbouring municipalities are invited to participate and help share some of the costs.
As of 2007 the land fill site has capacity to absorb another 10 years of waste, if current practices and amounts are maintained. The cost to the tax payer to close the existing site and open a new one can be measured in the millions of dollars. If you would like to get involved in this very important endeavour please consider submitting your name as a volunteer on the Ecological Resource Committee.
If you would like more information on what you can do to help Blind River reduce-reuse and recycle, call the Town Hall at 705-356-2251 or come to our next regular meeting.

Listen to How to Dress Well's New Song "Words I Don't Remember"
Tom Krell aka How to Dress Well has shared a new single. It's called "Words I Don't Remember"—stream it below.
Krell shared some thoughts on the song:
This song for me is about love, trust, commitment... and what happens to these things and, like, what happens to really real love when sentimentality is so co-opted and ruined. What remains of true love in this world of simulations?
How to Dress Well's last album was 2012's Total Loss. He recently announced a North American tour with Forest Swords. It will feature a full live band, including Justin Peroff of Broken Social Scene on drums.

From Mrs. Deb Haag, MMS Principal
The excitement of the first days of school are still buzzing through our hallways at Mexico Middle School! Sixth graders are still trying to master the sometimes elusive skill of opening lockers and then finding their classroom, eighth graders are smiling from ear to ear because they are now the big fish in the sea, and seventh graders are navigating the halls like seasoned pros. Individual signs on our students lockers, hung by members of our Bright Futures Counsel, are still proudly displayed with messages that welcome them to our #MakingMindsStronger family and encourage students to be kind, be their best, make new friends, and say hi to everyone. It is a marvelous time of year, full of blank slates and hope!
Our goal every year is that we make connections with our kids that will make them excited to come to school and ready to learn. Luckily, we are a middle school, which means we are different from jr. high schools. Middle schools have teams of teachers who all teach the same group of kids. Teachers meet during the week and discuss which kids on their teams are excelling, which kids may need some help, and every kid in between. In a jr. high schools students are treated more like high school students, left alone to figure out the world of 6th-8th grade. The teachers of MMS know that teaching in a school that utilizes the middle school concept is a gift; it is the one of the biggest reasons we are able to capitalize on our connections.
During back to school professional development, our teachers and faculty spent a significant amount of time reading, discussing, and planning how to make connections with kids by building solid relationships. It was from that cherished time that the idea of the 6th grade Bulldog Tunnel came to fruition which invited parents, grandparents, and community members to form a tunnel for 6th graders to walk through as they went to their first hour class. The sounds of the high fives and the smiles on the 6th graders faces were a sign that they knew they were where they were supposed to be - Mexico Middle School.
We want our focus of building relationships and maintaining the same "tunnel" energy to be felt throughout the year. There are times in the school year that this is more of a challenge than others. This notion, led our teams to develop mantras to use when the challenge is greater. As we work on our mission, "Making Minds Stronger," team mantras are used in the face of challenges. Each team has at least one and in true middle school fashion have turned them into hashtags, they include: #WePutTheCoolInSchool, #KidsFirst, #RED-y2SIXceed, #SeeTheGoodBeTheGood, #ItsAGoodDayForAGoodDay, #EveryStudentEveryDay, #EveryoneCanTeachYouSomething, #AcceptTheThingsWeCannotChange, #MexMOPride, #KeepItSimple, and #FocusOnTheFuture.
It is a good year to have a good year! We are thankful for our students, parents, and our community who support us! It is our honor to teach and we are committed to helping each student grow to be their best self by making connections and building relationships.

An additional Reminder That This Is not An Easy Organization
Health insurance coverage providers bitterly opposed the health care reform law but, as the merger involving Aetna and Coventry Health Care announced Monday shows, the industry knows there is nonetheless revenue to be created. Coventry Health Care has a presence in all 50 states plus District of Colombia and Puerto Rico, however, its CoventryOne brand of plans is currently only obtainable in 14 states: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. We supply thousands of health plans underwritten by far more than 180 of the nation's health insurance businesses. Their PPO and POS options give Coventry members even more flexibility in their care.
We work, not as individuals, but as a team of experts, coordinating care involving your medical professional, hospital and care at home. Just after speaking to yet another person (yet another :30 minute hold) I was told my physicians workplace dropped Coventry. The Commissioner studied the actuarial report, and consulted with numerous Division employees concerning the Coventry Health Care of Iowa rate boost proposal.
Coventry is also the property of The Total Behavioral Remedy which is committed to enhancing the health and effectively-getting of Coventry members. Claim this business enterprise to view business enterprise statistics, receive messages from prospective shoppers, and respond to evaluations. Health insurance is one of the largest crucial components that continue to increase statistics in the globe. In old age, everybody's health will drastically decline more than a period of time.
Aurora Health Care gives a service for both registered patients and these that are no registered as well. Horrible service, I been on the phone for a single hour with three different ppl, in order to explain the secretary at the doc workplace that I don't have to spend in complete, just the copy, everybody is misinformed, no one could give an explanation. I had to use conventry mainly because of my preceding corporation wants to reduce as considerably corner as probable in taking care of employees. They did not take care of my health issue at all and did not give me the correct medication.
Medicare Benefit Plans are typically deemed Medicare Element C, and this is what is covered by Coventry Health Care Medicare Benefit Plans right after an individual is currently covered with Components A and B. These plans could be PPO, HMO (Health Upkeep Organizations), POS (Point of Service), or a mixture of them. In truth, it actually delivers a far greater level of care and details than any of its competitors do, and that can only be a optimistic issue!
Handy Locations: UnityPoint Health gives care across Iowa and Illinois in 8 large geographic regions: Cedar Rapids , Des Moines , Dubuque , Fort Dodge , Madison , Peoria , Quad Cities , Sioux City and Waterloo Our regions operate together and have access to the sources of the UnityPoint Health network even though keeping the capability to offer compassionate care to the regional neighborhood.

Write "yes" on the following text-area to display the CTA section
Release Notes is our monthly update as to what is going on with Volcanic product development. This is an easy way to stay up to date with all the great work we are doing!
Each month we highlight new features, improvements and fixes we are making to the platform. We are also working hard on lots of other items that may not always be visible: like our security, infrastructure, API and job search functionality. Some months we release more work than others, which is the nature of product development.
CV Exclusivity
Certain job boards and clients want to be the only ones that can see a candidate's CV if the candidate has applied to one of their jobs. If the candidate has shown interest, they want time to process the application before the candidate can be poached by another recruiter on the job board.
What are we doing?
We have built in the functionality to allow job board owners to select whether, when a candidate applies for a recruiters job, they get exclusivity on that client for a period of time (this can be customised).
How does it help you?
As a job board owner, this now allows you to offer a bespoke service for customers. This could be added to your sales process in order to convince clients of your job boards value and ultimately to advertise.
Character Based Perma Links
In the Japanese market, there has been a marked uptake in using character based permalinks (in the URL bar) in the recruitment space in the last 6-9 months.
What are we doing?
We have extended the capability of our platform to enable URL's to have special characters in them. This is specifically useful for international websites
How does it help you?
Culturally, it is highly important to show locally languages correctly in URLs. This change will ensure credibility for the website in its local language.
Job Board Client Admin Improvements (Part 2)
We are constantly looking to improve the user experience for job board owners. We have released as series of updates to make managing clients and jobs easier.
What are we doing?
We have improved the following areas;
- Improved client management
- Ability to add comments and notes to a client account within the admin area
- Ability to assign tasks different admin members
How does it help you?
The speed of use for job boards is very important and we are confident that the latest updates will increase current user experience. The ability to schedule tasks, notes and workflow items on the job board is also a major step in job board technology, meaning more time spent within the platform for your admins.
JobG8 Integration
The Jobg8 platform allows job board owners the ability to aggregate candidates and jobs both into their website and out of the website. This can be monetised.
What are we doing?
We have built an integration with JobG8 to enable the flow of data into and out of the job board platform.
How does it help you?
If you are looking to add jobs and/or candidates to your job board, jobG8 will allow you to do this. The integration gives you the option of populating your job board quickly to give your clients extra value.
Account Management Support Feature
Building on the support feature which we have had in the platform for a number of years, we decided that it was a good idea to introduce the same feature for account management.
What are we doing?
Within the admin area of the website, there is a tab (under support) called Account Management. If you enter a note or message, it will be sent to our Account Management team and enable them to call you back.
How does it help you?
Having direct access to Account Management should enable a higher and more dedicated level of customer service for our clients. It will also help you to keep up to date on the performance of your website and the updates which Volcanic are releasing.
Job Board - Bundles and Credits
Administering bundles and credits to your clients is one of the most important areas of the job board platform. We wanted to make it easier to do this than previously existed.
What are we doing?
We have changed the flow of how to add bundles and credits to your clients, which makes the process a lot easier. Instead of adding bundles centrally, you can now add them to individual recruiters accounts through the new client area
How does it help you?
This will drastically improve the user experience of the client area and enable super admins to administer credits and bundles faster than before.
Improved Job Alert Insight
We wanted to make the reporting for job alerts better than previously existed. We know how important analytics are to the platform and have previously invested a lot of time in this area.
What are we doing?
We have improved the scope of the reporting to give some better insight.
The new report on job alerts show candidates by the number who are assigned to each discipline and location. we used to show, sent, opened, clicked, applied but know that this needed to be broken down by discipline area.
We have now edited the reporting to allow you to break down job alert reporting by;
- Number of candidates
- Number of emails sent
- Number of emails opened
- Number of applications
This is all compared by sector/discipline to give useful analytics
How does it help you?
Having this level of insight will help you to understand which areas within the website perform better and to make wider marketing decisions. It will also help job board owners to sell and upsell to prospects based on the performance of different sectors.
Reengagement Emails
For customers looking to transfer job boards to Volcanic, you are now able to send emails to your old platforms candidates and let them know they need to re-register on your new website.
What are we doing?
We have added the ability, through the emails area of the dashboard, the ability to send emails to the candidates which have been imported from your old website to your new site. This will mean that more job alerts by email are sent out to your contact.
How does it help you?
More jobs by email and engagement with candidates will mean more applications for your customers.
Improved Recruiter Dashboards
We want to make the experience for your clients as easy as possible, so we have started to improve the usability of the recruiter dashboards.
What are we doing?
We have updated the candidate search to enable obfuscated (hidden) details. This means that recruiters cannot take the entire CV database and instead are forced to spend a credit to find the details of a candidate.
How does it help you?
The improvements to the recruiter area will help you to retain your customers. We want to make your job boards as easy as possible to work with, which will mean more value for customers.
Bundle Purchase Notification
We made a minor adjustment to the purchase process for bundles.
What are we doing?
When a client purchases a bundle, they now get a notification to let them know that the purchase was successful
How does it help you?
This is a minor amendment taken from feedback from our customers and will improve the user experience of the job board.

This Op-ed by William D. Carrigan and Clive Webb explores some of the lesser known racial tensions that have rocked the past century. Lynching, the act of publicly hanging, burning or flaying of marginalized people, in a spectacle of white supremacy, has historically targeted black people, given the history of slavery in the US. This piece sheds light on the fact that lynchers targeted many other ethnic minorities as well, especially Mexican people. Mexican immigrants in the southern and western US have been uniquely dispossessed, colonized minorities in their own historical lands. Local authorities and deputized citizens were usually the perpetrators of the lynchings of Mexican people. Under the guise of halting revolutionary actions, rangers in Texas and surrounding states have razed entire towns of Mexicans, lynching thousands. This history of racial violence has carried into the 21st century, if not in public records then at the very least, in cultural consciousness.
Read an excerpt of the article written by William D. Carrigan and Clive Webb:
The recent release of a landmark report on the history of lynching in the United States is a welcome contribution to the struggle over American collective memory. Few groups have suffered more systematic mistreatment, abuse and murder than African-Americans, the focus of the report. One dimension of mob violence that is often overlooked, however, is that lynchers targeted many other racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, including Native Americans, Italians, Chinese and, especially, Mexicans. Americans are largely unaware that Mexicans were frequently the targets of lynch mobs, from the mid-19th century until well into the 20th century, second only to African-Americans in the scale and scope of the crimes. ...read more
