JOHESU strike continues as FG reject demands of health workers
Isaac Adewole, minister of health, says the demand of officials of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) to be at par with doctors in terms of salary is neither practicable nor acceptable, TheCable reports.
Disclosing this in a statement on Monday, Adewole said the current administrationt has offered to adjust the salaries and wages of the health workers.
He was reacting to the advertorial by JOHESU in some national dailies.
"As a responsible government, we will do everything within our power to bring the ongoing strike action to an end as quickly as possible," read a statement Olajide Oshundun, health ministry assistant director of information, issued on Adewole's behalf.
"Indeed, the federal government has put machinery in place to ensure that the strike is called off by meeting with JOHESU officials on several occasions.
"But what JOHESU is asking for is parity with medical doctors which is neither practicable nor acceptable to the federal government."
Adewole said the current strike action by the unions is unfortunate and that the health, adding that well-being of many Nigerians had been affected.
The minister also denied that there was an agreement between the federal government and JOHESU prior to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said what the union brandished as a 2014 agreement with the federal government were minutes of meetings they had with some organs of government.
Adewole added that out of the 15 demands presented by JOHESU in September 2017, the government has implemented 14 while the last demand was "being attended to."
"The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will not renege on any agreement entered into with any labour organisation including JOHESU,'' he said.
The minister, therefore, appealed to the unions to "immediately call off the strike" and allow for the conclusion of the assignment given to a panel regarding the 2017 agreement.

Sunday 18th June
This fathers day I spent at work. The shift was not fun at ALL as it was 30 degrees and hectic busy. I finished at 5:30, got changed and headed straight to Weston Beach with my family. We went to Weston at it is the closest beach to where I live, but it is not the nicest. Alice, Jack and I tried to walk to the beach, but the closest we got we begun to realise it was just pure mud that we were walking in. So we headed back and got fish and chips!
I hope you all had a good fathers day! Happy fathers day to my legend of a dad.

Preparing your home for a Michigan winter
With the feel of fall in the air, weather gets cooler, and the leaves start falling on the ground. It's now time to think about getting your home ready for the winter months.
Founded in 2006, Acacia Group is West Michigan's premier property management company with a focus on luxury properties. We care for site condominiums, single family homes and commercial business associations. We are a progressive, technology driven company and quickly respond to our client's needs.
This was my first time working with a property management company, and I must say Acacia Group exceeded my expectations. Kevin is professional, thorough and he provides excellent service for our neighborhood developments. I would recommend Acacia Group Property Management to manage your neighborhood or commercial properties.
Ryan Vanderhoff, Owner of Bosco Construction for Wildflower Creek
Acacia Group has been a great investment for our neighborhood. It was becoming more and more difficult to secure volunteer Board Members due to the amount of work involved with running and governing an HOA. When Kevin began managing our HOA, he took over all the proper legal documentation, financials and most importantly he made sure everyone paid their dues! It has proven to be a win-win situation for our neighborhood!
Barb Glashouwer, Former Board Member of The Vineyards
With the feel of fall in the air, weather gets cooler, and the leaves start falling on the ground. It's now time to think about getting your home ready for the winter months.
If houses are like spouses, a neighborhood is like the extended family and you'll never love a house if you don't like your neighborhood. So how do you choose the right community?
One of the easiest crimes to prevent — burglary — is also one of the most common. Somewhere in the United States a burglary is committed every 15 seconds. If this happens to you, you can lose more than a few possessions. A break-in, even when you're not there, has a major impact on your family's sense of safety and well-being.

In today's fast paced, technology driven world, nothing ever stands still. We live in a time where we can share our thoughts and passions with the rest of the universe at the push of a button. It is even possible to reach out to companies, celebrities and CEO's of big corporations that were never imaginable before. With so many opportunities at our fingertips, creativity and opportunity really is at an all time high.
When we look back at the first mobile phones, they were at best portable, often having the size of a household brick. Over time gadgets got smaller, the race was on to create the thinnest tech. Computers changed the lives of so many, but the introduction of laptops changed the way so many work. Fast forward a few more years and 3G connectivity allows us to keep on working and communicating whilst away from our desk, albeit with some compromises on functionality and/or performance.
If you are a blogger or business person looking for something that will deliver a great typing experience, I don't think you will be disappointed. The key action is pretty sweet and the keyboard is backlit too, for those late night sessions. Alongside this you get a precision multi-gesture trackpad too, which really helps with multitasking and getting things done with minimal fuss.
On the other hand, if you are a visual creative, working with photographs or perhaps a video creator like myself, you will appreciate the virtually borderless InfinityEdge display. This is available on the whole range in Full HD, QHD+ and even 4K Ultra HD resolutions. Being able to edit in such a high resolution is a real pleasure. If colour accuracy is important to you, opting for the XPS 15 means you get 100% minimum Adobe RGB, so you get the most accurate colour. This is important, especially if you are delivering work to your clients that appreciate consistency across screen and printed media.
With different screen sizes and specifications to suit everyone, even a 12-inch 2-in-1 option with detachable keyboard, there really is something here for everyone. Awesome build quality, coupled with the ultra-portable size, means there is no excuse now. We can work from places that no longer tie us to one location and therefore there are no limits on what our creativity can achieve.

I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, but just about everyone in my family, me included has had some form of skin cancer. I had
Mohs skin cancer surgery
for the removal of a basal cell carcinoma from my face when I was only 26 years old. I know this doesn't make me an expert, but I have learned a lot about this disease, the treatment options and prevention.
Most of the information I found was clinical and written for people with PhD's. Luckily, many of the web sites now are much better than 20 years ago. Actually there were NO web sites 20 years ago. However, my goal is to put a personal face on the disease and communicate in "simple & plain English" information about how to protect yourself and your family and spread the word about cancer awareness.
What exactly is cancer of the skin? It develops when:
They are very easy to spot, but only if you pay attention to your skin!
As women we know every wrinkle and blemish on our face - just take that same dedication to your entire body. It's easy to get to know your moles, scrapes, scars and freckles. But if you want a physician to check you out, the Skin Cancer Foundation's Road to Healthy Skin Tour presented by Aveeno and Rite Aid provides free full body screenings and all the latest information.
Find out when they will be in your neighborhood
The most common types of skin cancers are broken down into two categories, Non-melanoma and Malignant Melanoma.
Non-Melanoma cancers include:
Non-Melanoma cancers include:
Actinic Keratoses
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
is diagnosed the least, but is by far the most serious of all cancers of the skin.
What causes skin cancer?
The leading cause is ultraviolet radiation (UV), mostly from the sun, but also from artificial sources like sunlamps and tanning beds.
In fact, many scientists believe that our quest for the perfect tan, spending more time outdoors, and the weakening of the earth's ozone layer are the reasons for the rise in diagnosis.
With all of my research, I could not find one specific doctor who discovered this disease. There are many experts in the field, including surgeons, dermatologists and oncologists. If you need to see a doctor, always research your physician, ask around or ask friends and family to recommend one.
Who gets skin cancer? Answer = ANYONE
This disease doesn't care about your skin type, race or age, where you live or what you do.
However, the risk factors increase for those who have:
In reality - everyone could be at risk, even the rich and famous. See which celebrities have been diagnosed.
According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, CDC, National Cancer Institute and many other data resources, I have found some frightening
statistics about this disease.
Our skin's primary goal is to protect our body from injury, heat and infection, as well as, store water, vitamin D and regulate the body's temperature.
We owe it to ourselves to protect our skin.

Most 50s in career/series/calendar year/Oldest/youngest player to score a 50 in test and ODI
Like centuries, cricket players have set records in scoring maximum fifties in test and ODI cricket. Sachin Tendulkar, the greatest Indian cricket player, not only holds the record for scoring maximum hundreds but is also seen in the list of scoring maximum fifties. Below is the detailed account of most fifties scored by cricket players in test and ODI career, series and calendar year. The discussion also talks about the oldest and youngest batsmen to score fifties in test and ODI cricket.
Most fifties by batsmen in test career
- Sachin Tendulkar (66)
- Ricky Ponting (62)
- Jacques Kallis (56)
- Rahul Dravid (63)
- AR Border (63)
Fastest fifties by batsmen in test cricket by time
- Mohammad Ashraful in 27 mins
- JT Brown in 28 min
- SA Durani in 29 min
- EAV Williams in 30 min
- BR Taylor in 30 min
Fastest fifties by batsmen in test cricket by balls faced
- Jacques Kallis on 24 balls
- Shahid Afridi on 26 balls
- Mohammad Ashraful 26 balls
- Yousuf Youhana on 27 balls
- EAV Williams on 28 balls
Slowest fifties by batsmen in test cricket
- TE Bailey in 357 mins
- CJ Tavare in 350 mins
- BA Young in 333 mins
- Gavaskar in 326 mins
- Ramiz Raja in 318 mins
Most fifties by cricket players in ODI career
- Sachin Tendulkar 96
- Ricky Ponting 82
- Jacques Kallis 85
- Jayasuriya 68
- Radul Dravid 83
Fastest fifties by cricket players in ODI cricket
- Sanath Jayasuriya scored 76 runs on 17 balls
- SP O'Donnell scored 74 runs off 18 balls
- Shahid Afridi scored 102 runs off 18 balls
- Shahid Afridi scored 55 off 18 balls
- Mark Boucher scored 51 off 19 balls
Although scoring fast and slow cannot be considered as a valid criteria for the quality of batting skill a cricket possesses, it is some how become important for the viewers. The modern cricket is moving towards adoption of a much faster pace than the traditional old style of cricket. This is the reason now other than Test cricket format we have ODIs and T20 format of cricket as well.

These are my notes on Israel Kirzner's Competition and Entrepreneurship for an economics project in college.
Market theory (also called price theory or microeconomic theory) tries to explain relationships among observed market phenomena. Two alternative approaches to market theory are the orthodox neoclassical theory (developed mainly by Marshall, Robinson, Chamberlin and Walras) and the Austrian market process theory (developed by Mises, Hayek and Kirzner).
The objective of orthodox theory is to determine market equilibrium, generating numerical values for prices and quantities at which transactions are made. Orthodox theory analyzes the effects of exogenous change and policies in terms of their effects on equilibrium. Equilibrium is the "one set of planned activities" that allows all planned transactions to be carried out. (p. 4)
The objective of market process theory is to "understand how the decisions of individual participants in the market interact to generate the market forces which compel changes in prices, in outputs and in methods of production and the allocation of resources." (p. 6)
Market participants make decisions (plans), many of which anticipate other participants' actions. With imperfect knowledge, at the end of a given period, many individuals will find that their plans could not be carried out (too optimistic) or were carried out but failed to take advantage of more beneficial opportunities (too pessimistic). Through market participation, individuals see others' actual decisions (often in the form of prices), gaining knowledge that causes them to revise their plans. This market process ("series of systematic changes in the interconnected network of market decisions" p. 10) occurs even without change in the "data" or underlying conditions of trade.
With perfect knowledge, individual plans will be made so that none fail (from being too optimistic or pessimistic). The market process ceases (no adjustments occur), and equilibrium exists.
Opportunuties (offers) to buy and sell are available in the market. An individual (buyer or seller) accepts the offer he believes is the best available, and at the same time realizes that others will accept his offer only if they believe it is the best available to them. The market process in inherently competitive, as individuals try to make their offers better than everyone else's. This competition forces individuals "to gravitate closer and closer to the limits of their ability to participate gainfully in the market." (p. 12)
With perfect knowledge, everyone knows which offer is best, so that competition ceases, and equilibrium exists.
With imperfect knowledge, profit opportunities exist in the market. All such opportunities consist of price differentials; a good (or bundle of inputs) can be bought at a lower price than it (or its product) can be sold. Entrepreneurship is alertness to unnoticed price opportunities. Entrepreneurs exploit these opportunities, and through competition with each other, eliminate them. The market process is inherently entrepreneurial because individuals learn from their participation in the market.
With perfect knowledge, there is no scope for competition or entrepreneurship. The theory of perfect competition, which assumes perfect information, has no relation to competition (the process), except possibly as the result of competition, after the process has completed its course.
Production is the conversion of resources (inputs, factors, producer goods) into products (outputs, consumer goods). In a market with production, individuals can be grouped into resource owners, producers and consumers. Producers are entrepreneurs who buy resources from resource owners and sell them (in the form of a product) to consumers. Even if a producer owns one of the resources himself, he must 'buy' that resource from himself in the form of opportunity cost (what he could sell it for in the market). Production is arbitrage (entrepreneurship), the exploitation of price differences.
Production is inherently entrepreneurial and competitive, and cannot be monopolized. The situation of a single seller then must be analyzed taking into account whether the position is the result of offering the best opportunities to the market or the result of monopolized resource ownership. Monopolized resource ownership can be the result of competitive entrepreneurial activity.
Entrepreneurship requires no resources to be initially owned, and 'pure' entrepreneurship (a mental tool) is exercised only in the absence of resource ownership.
Orthodox theory interprets human behavior as economizing (maximizing, allocative, "Robbinsian"). Individuals apply given means to given ends, and the best course of action is implied in these data. Changes in the means and ends are exogenous.
Market process theory interprets human behavior as human action, a wider view which includes the perception of means and ends. The orthodox individual is a mere calculator. "Mises' homo agens, on the other hand, is endowed not only with the propensity to pursue goals efficiently, once ends and means are clearly identified, but also with the drive and alertness needed to identify which ends to strive for and which means are available." (p. 34)
The entrepreneurial element of every human action is "alertness to possibly newly worthwhile goals and to possibly newly available resources." (p. 35) With perfect knowledge, the entrepreneurial element would be unnecessary, but in the real world, knowledge is imperfect.
Economic analysis can be simplified by separating decisions into entrepreneurial and economizing elements. 'Consumers' and 'resource owners' economize, and 'entrepreneurs' display alertness (in real life, of course, an infividual will fall into all the categories).
'Producers' are both entrepreneurs and economizers at different stages of production. If the producer contributes an input (for example, managerial skills), he is economizing. In deciding which inputs to hire and which outputs to produce, he is an entrepreneur. As entrepreneur the producer decides what he believes to be cost and revenue functions; as economizer the producer uses those judgments to select a production process. The initial decision to purchase inputs is entrepreneurial; once the inputs are acquiredm the decision to actually produce (or to change the initial plan instead) is the decision of a resource owner.
Profits result from resource ownership or from entrepreneurship. Owners' profit results from an exchange, and is the difference between the value of what is received and the value of what is given up. Entrepreneurial profit is the difference between the price paid and the price received; nothing is given up. Profit is usually the result of more than one decision, and so can be viewed as either owners' or entrepreneurial depending on which decision is being analyzed.
Capitalists are resource owners. A production process that takes time requires capital, that is, resources advanced by owners who agree to receive payment (with interest) at a later date.
Orthodox theory concentrates on the "firm" as the decision-maker in production, and firm's behavior maximizes profit. In market process theory, the firm is the result of a partially-completed entrepreneurial decision, being basically an entrepreneur who has already acquired some resources. "Profit-maximization" is not used to interpret firms' behavior. The producer as resource owner maximizes the value of his resources, but as entrepreneur is alert to new uses for his resources.
The corporation poses a problem for orthodox theory because 'control' (managers) is separated from 'ownership' (capitalists or stockholders), so that profit may not be maximized. In market process theory, there is no problem. If the managers receive only their wages, they are hired resources; if they in addition extract other (possibly nonmonetary) benefits from their position, they are acting also as entrepreneurs; if instead, they steal benefits, then revenue will not cover costs and they will be fired.
Entrepreneurship is not merely the possession of knowledge of price differences; such knowledge can be hired, in which case the one who does the hiring is the entrepreneur. Hiring itself can be hired (a personnel manager), in which case the one who hires the hirer is the entrepreneur. The enterpreneur is the one with the ultimate knowledge, the one who does the ultimate hiring, the one who decides to bring all the inputs together to produce an output.
Entrepreneurship is the ability of individuals to learn from market participation. This alertness to opportunities sets the market process in action, generating changes in individual plans, eliminating price differentials.
"Naive profit theory" associates entrepreneurship with risk-bearing. It is simply an input, and profits are its wages, resulting from having no contractual claim to income. This definition leaves alertness (learning, deciding to produce) unexplained.
Schumpeter's theory sees the entrepreneur as an innovator. The innovator acts in equilibrium, disturbing it with innovations and creating opportunities. Schumpeter recognizes that entrepreneurship is not an input and that profits are not wages.
In market process theory, the market is already in disequilibrium, so that the opportunities already exist, and the entrepreneur notices (not creates) them. To Schumpeter, 'imitators' restore equilibrium (through price competition) after the innovator's disturbance (through quality competition). In market process theory, both imitators and innovators are equally entrepreneurial, and both push a disequilibrium world closer to equilibrium. Schumpeter's main mistake is to believe that opportunities for innovation could exist in an equilibrium world, with perfect knowledge of products and production processes.
Knight's theory is that profit is compensation for uncertainty-bearing. "Profit is the residual, if any, left for the entrepreneur after he pays out the contractual incomes agreed upon for the factors he hires." (p. 82) Knight's view neglects the fact that every entrepreneurial venture is believed to be profitable by the entrepreneur who starts it. Knight's theory ignores "the active, alert, searching role" of the entrepreneur. (p. 83)
Market process theory is derived mainly from Mises' concept of entrepreneurship. Mises (in Human Action, pp. 253-5, 288) sees all profit as arbitrage. "Profit opportunities arise when the prices of products on the product markets are not adjusted to the prices of resource services on the factor markets. ... The entrepreneur notices this price discrepancy before others do." (p. 85)
In orthodox theory, competition and monopoly are situations; the theory models various market structures in equilibrium, labeling them 'competitive' or 'monopolistic.' The model of perfect competition is "the situation in which every market participant does exactly what everyone else is doing, in which it is utterly pointless to try to achieve something in any way better than what is already being done by others, and in which, in fact, it is not necessary to keep one's eyes open to what the others are doing at all." (p. 90) An obstacle to competition is any deviance from the assumptions of the perfect competition model.
The layman's definition of competition is the opposite, a rivalrous process of trying to do better than one's competitors. The market process theory's definition of competition is closer to the layman's; competition is "the active process of offering the market opportunities which one believes are better than those others are able or willing to offer." (p. 96)
In market process theory, an obstacle to competition is anything that prevents participants from offering opportunities to the market (restricted entry). The only possible barriers to entry are the use of force (including government restrictions) and monopolized access to some resource. Pure entrepreneurship is always competitive because it requires no resources.
In orthodox theory, monopoly is a firm's monopoly over a product. The concepts of the firm and the industry are essential, and substitutability of products raises problems. Monopoly is present whenever a firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve. Monopoly is inefficient because it causes a smaller output to be produced than perfect competition would. Welfare appraisal requires looking at immediate allocation of resources.
In market process theory, monopoly is a resource owner's monopoly over a resource. The mere fact that a producer is the sole producer of a given product, or that a producer faces downward-sloping demand, does not imply monopoly. A sole producer without sole access to a resource is under as much competitive pressure as anyone else. A monopolist could even face horizontal demand (for example, if he does not realize that the product produced with his monopolized resource is a superior one). At the entrepreneurial level, the demand curve is not a given, and so its shape is irrelevant. The industry and the firm are irrelevnt to competition and monopoly, and competition and monopoly are irrelevant to the firm (which is an economizer).
Monopoly is inefficient in market process theory is it causes a resource to be underutilized. Welfare appraisal must consider the long-term effects of the monopoly on the market process. Monopoly does not capture profits, but rents. The monopolist need not product using his resource; he could instead hire out to the market (receiving a higher price than if he were not a monopolist).
Quality is an economic variable as much as price and quantity. Product differentiation may exist at any point simply because the market is not in equilibrium (just as more than one price may exist at one time), and not because of any lack of competition (as is claimed by orthodox models of imperfect competition). The orthodox model of monopolistic competition is inherently flawed because it assumes both product differentiation (leading to profits) and free entry (which should eliminate profits).
The results of assessing monopoly often depend on whether the short- or long- run is examined. Monopoly can result from initial endowments created by the institutional setting (for example, in nonslave societies each individual has a monopoly over his labor), in which case profits and disadvantages should be attributed to the institutions. Monopoly can be the result of entrepreneurial effort, in which case profits can be attributed either to the monopoly position (short-run view) or to the entrepreneurial effort (long-run view). A quasi-monopoly can be the result of an entrepreneur being the first to exploit an opportunity when entry takes time; in this case the entrepreneur has a temporary monopoly while others begin to assemble the resources to compete, and this monopoly can be viewed the same way as the entrepreneurially-gained monopoly.

Harry Knox, who serves on President Barack Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and who has said the Pope is "hurting people in the name of Jesus," has a record of making anti-Catholic statements.
What business does this guy have as the President's faith-based advisor? It sounds a bit like choosing someone who is pro-abortion to head up Pro-Life initiatives. Then again, maybe that was Obama's point.

Amin Einakian Reveals The Shark Vehicle
Amin Einakian, the project leader of the highlighted design Vehicle:Shark by Amin Einakian spells out, Shark is a concept vehicle which can transform Drag force to a useful force in order to fly. Design philosophy of Shark is to catch the Drag force at first and then, when the vehicle is lifted from the ground because of the air flow resistance, it will pass the air flow through the holes on its arms. These holes will open and close quickly and in a way that Shark can keep itself more balanced. .

Highlights from the wonderful world of Tim Walker's new V&A exhibition
Sep 26, 2019 | By Jane Boddy
Apr 14, 2016
By Sara Radin
The young art scene is growing up as teen artists are finding inventive ways to show their work offline through zines, pop-up exhibits and art collectives. But what is the young female art experience? Brittany Natale, a New York based curator, is answering this question with a weekend long pop-up exhibit entitled Teen Dream. We chatted with Brittany about the story behind Teen Dream, her process for curating the pop-up, and what she hopes people will take away from the female focused exhibit. If you're craving an in-person art experience this weekend stop by the Teen Dream exhibit at Wayfarers Brooklyn.
Tell us more about Teen Dream. What's the concept behind the exhibit?
I've described Teen Dream previously as an onion – with so many layers, and back stories and experiences that have become a part of the catalyst for it. The idea for the actual show came about a couple of years ago after I found a newspaper clipping of my mother at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in front of her artwork. Turns out the Met held an outdoor Spring exhibition for young teens to have their work shown, and my mother was chosen to exhibit. I remember thinking how admirable it was that the Met gave this opportunity to young artists.
My mother, a 1987 Parsons Illustration graduate, faced so much adversity in the male-dominated art world and could never pursue art full-time to make a living because of this. I remember sitting on the kitchen table of our Queens apartment watching her watercolor or wood-burn after she got home from work or on the weekends – still trying to keep this passion that had been such a big part of her life alive. Even after my father left when I was 13 and my mom was raising 4 kids as a single mother, my mother, grandmother (who was also an artist who could never pursue art full-time because of societal pressures) and great-aunt always made sure to integrate art into my and my siblings' everyday lives.
Through the years I have experienced myself and have also witnessed so many strong, talented females in my life be mistreated by society, men and more, and this always has had such a profound impact on me. I knew from a young age I wanted to do something that contributed to the support of women, especially those using art as a platform to make a difference – this show is a culmination of all of this.
How did this exhibit come about?
Last fall, I began a curatorial residency at Wayfarers in Brooklyn, a really wonderful gallery space and studio program that I had been a fan of for a long time. Wayfarers is directed by an amazing female artist, George Ferrandi, who opened up the gallery calendar to members so that we could hold pop-up shows, screenings, etc. I had been holding onto the idea for Teen Dream for a long time, but could never find the "right" space to have it. I knew that when the gallery availability opened up that it was time.
Who are the artists showing work in Teen Dream?
The artists showing in Teen Dream are incredibly talented, young female artists ranging from their teens to age 21. The artists include: Remi Riordan, Sage Adams,
Leemer Morse, Lee Phillips, Genevieve Nollinger, Savana Ogburn, Amira Rosenbush, Abbey Gilbert, Alyson Z. Williams, Lula Hyers, Fabiola Ching, Tyra Mitchell, Lydia Claire, Emily Wood, Megan Schaller, and Alice C. Liu. Many of them are involved in publications and collectives such as Rookie Mag, Crybaby Zine, Arthoe Collective, Coalition Zine, Girl Power Meetups, Zine Club Mag and more.
What was the process for selecting the artists and artworks in this show?
The process for selecting artists and artworks in the show happened pretty organically. Through contributing to zines such as Zine Club Mag and Crybaby Zine I was able to connect with so many amazing young artists, whose work really affected me because of its honesty and truth. I have also been a reader of Rookie for a while now, and would always make mental notes of certain contributors' art that I especially connected with. Social media also played a role in exposing me to so many young artists who I ultimately asked to participate in the show too. As for the work, I wanted to be sure to include a wide range of aspects and voices as I think it is important to know that not every girl's struggles are the same, that every female has a unique story but that when one of us is affected it still impacts us all.
You've brought together a strong group of young female voices. Have you noticed any collective themes or messages that shine through this exhibit?
Every girl has her own experiences and her own story to draw inspiration for her work from, no two girls are the same, but I do notice that collectively these females are honest and fearless – whether it is through their work that addresses eating disorders, menstruation, girls rallying for social causes, and more. They are unafraid to show who they really are and what they really care about, regardless of how society is going to react, and I think this is incredibly admirable. So many times girls are shamed into silence on so many matters that affect them the most, having to carry that weight throughout their lives. Girls should know that they too have a voice and it will be heard.
What do you hope people take away from this exhibit?
I hope through this exhibit, the viewer becomes more aware of the many issues that women live with generation after generation – whether it be regarding mental illness, gynecological disorders, racial injustices, gender inequality, and so on. Not every two women's struggles may be the same, but just because it is not happening to one does not mean it is not happening to another. The dialogue regarding these matters needs to be opened and injected into everyday conversation so that change and reformation can occur.
Do you have any future projects or pop-ups we should look out for?
Yes! I hope to plan more future Teen Dream programming here in NYC as well as other cities all over, including music and film, and everything in between, to help further address these issues females are faced with everyday. In general I have a very strong interest in planning issue-focused art shows, my last one, "Weekend with Bernie", was with conceptual artist Matt Starr and involved getting young individuals more interested and excited about voting. As someone who has lived with anxiety and PTSD from a young age, I would like to also explore using the arts specifically to help de-stigmatize mental illness and mood disorders in young females – a huge amount of individuals live with mental illness, yet society still does not want to properly acknowledge this very real part of people's everyday lives.
Visit Teen Dream at Brooklyn Wayfarers Saturday and Sunday, April 16 – 17 from 12pm – 5pm at 1109 De Kalb Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11221. More info can be found via the event's Facebook event.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. He's working frantically to find the next sketch to show to the study participant. He might even be drawing it as we wait.
|Toto pulls back the curtain to expose the real wizard.
Learn to love low fidelity
The less cost you sink in a prototype, the less concern you will have about throwing it out and starting again if you got things wrong.
The lowest possible cost for your prototype is to use nothing more than office supplies.
|Paper prototypes are fast to create and make the user testing process tactile and fun.
Guerilla usability testing
One way mirrors in specialist usability labs are old school. They aren't necessary for our purposes.
- The fidelity of your test environment only has to match the fidelity of the code you are testing.
- Because you are only testing paper, and your test is to verify your design by checking that the task flows rather than to emulate a real working environment, your test environment can be an office desk.
- You don't need any complex recording equipment for the user study.
- In fact, there's probably not much point in recording it at all. You will be making changes to the UI almost immediately after the study, and you can write down any interesting observations on sticky notes.
- Make your participant feel welcome and comfortable.
- Your participant is the most important person in the room. Offer them a drink when they arrive, help them understand what you're up to, do everything you can to make them relax in this strange environment.
- Be a good moderator
- The best moderators say very little during a study session. Set the scene by telling the participant that the test is of the prototype, not of them. Explain that they are helping you make the software work as well as it can even at this early stage. Tell them they can stop at any time they want. Explain that you'll be giving them tasks to perform and that you'd like them to think out loud as they go through the process.
- After the study starts, the only thing you should have to say is "Please remember to think out loud." If the participant asks you a question about the UI, or where they should go next, ask them what they think they should do before jumping in to help them.
- Team members who are observing sit still and shut up.
- Only the facilitator interacts with the participant. Everyone else in the room remains quiet and takes copious notes. They can ask questions when you're done.
User testing has nothing to do with testing users. It's all about getting representative users of the system to help you test the match between your product and their expectations.
Your users don't have to be very representative for these early prototype tests. We are testing whether the interaction ideas for the interface are likely to work. We don't have real data or realistic setups.
- The interaction ideas should be understandable by most experienced computer users, so that's who you should recruit.
- If your interface contains specialist terminology or requires an understanding of certain procedures in order to use it properly, you'll have to recruit more representative users. It's still best to go with the lowest level of domain expertise that you can - you need to save the more skilled participants for later studies.
- About 5 participants is enough to be sure that the problems you see are real
- Make sure that the wording of tasks doesn't give away the answer.
- You will hand each task to the participant in turn, get them to read the task out loud (so that you know they understood it), and then watch as they perform the task.
- Asking participants to think out loud lets you know what they're up to as they work.
- Being the computer isn't an easy job. It requires a good understanding of the intended path through the UI and the ability to improvise (normally with sticky notes) when the participant goes in a completely different but still very interesting direction than what you intended.
- It helps to have an hourglass card that you can put down over the UI while the computer finds and composes the next screen. That way the participant knows that you aren't waiting for them to say or do anything.
- You can explain observers' presence to the participant by saying that the observers are members of the team who are interested in finding out what areas of the product need improvement. There is no need to introduce observers by name or job title.
- Each observer should be writing down user quotes and actions on sticky notes for later analysis.
- Observers do not interact with the participant during the session. We aren't running a "formal" study, so talking to users won't harm our data, but it's just too overwhelming for the participant to have to deal with questions coming from so many strangers. Be respectful of the stress that participants feel, and give them just a single person to focus on during the session.
- You might want to save time for a couple of questions from observers after the session finishes. Be sure you can trust your observers to ask polite questions.
- Once you are done, find a way to thank your participants. Gift cards or marketing schwag normally go down well.
- Stick all the observations from each session up on the wall. Do this somewhere away from the testing environment, because some of the comments may be unintentionally disrespectful to the participants. Go through the stickies and group issues together. For subsequent sessions, just add to the existing groups.
- If there is a clear and easy potential fix for an issue, and it's likely that the issue is a problem with your interface rather than just a misunderstanding by the participant, make the change.
- If there is a clear and easy fix but you aren't sure whether it was the interface or the participant's understanding, discuss what you might do to fix it but wait to see at least one more participant before making the fix
- If there is a tricky issue without a clear fix, note that it exists and prime everybody to watch for more clues with the next participant.
- Save some time to re-arrange all the pieces of paper that the "computer" uses and to get the testing space ready for the next participant.
- Film a quick video walkthrough of the final UI, or photograph/photocopy each stage in the process and turn it into a storyboard to pin on the wall.
- Keep the sticky notes from the observations with the unresolved issues highlighted. If you made a storyboard, stick the notes on the relevant sections of the UI.
A day well spent
You can easily run five participants and make all the resulting changes within one day. That day will pay for itself many times over in reduced rework and higher quality interfaces that users actually enjoy working with.
Paper prototype testing is a fun, educational activity that will make you run through several iterations of your design during the course of a day. The paper provides a physical interaction. Participants can pick bits of the UI up and move them, and they are much happier writing on the prototype to express their thoughts.
At the end of the test sessions you will have a better understanding of the tasks and of how to design UI to support them.
What's next?
Now you can start coding!
- The scenarios and paper prototypes can be easily deconstructed into user stories and user story maps to use for sprint planning.
- You have already gone through all the churn and decision making for the UI as a team, so all the developers have a good understanding of what to build and why.
- If developers come across interaction issues during the development process, it's likely that they'll understand how users would react and so be able to build passable UI without further intervention.

The European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMRWF) is predicting a super El Niño, higher than ever recorded. However, Joe Bastardi in his WeatherBELL Weekly Summary, does not think that it will be an out of the ordinary El Niño, about the same as past El Niño events.
Joe did have some good news for California this winter. The NOAA models are forecasting above normal precipitation in Nov, Dec and Jan for the 2015/2016 winter months.
No, this will not fix our drought, because it is only a temporary condition. The El Niño will fade and the cool PDO will again control our weather. Cool PDOs have historically brought drought conditions to the Southwest, including California. However, the winter rain and some mountain snow will help fill our reservoirs, enabling us to muddle along for several more years, hoping that we have more El Niño events in the future. Water conservation for the next 20 years is going to be critical to our economic survival.

Marriage can help reduce the tax burden for married couples who file jointly. Depending on the incomes, so-called marriage "penalties" can be avoided. If the taxpaying spouses have substantially different salaries, the lower one can pull the higher one down into a lower bracket, reducing their overall taxes.
There are many good reasons to get married—true love and compatibility being among the best. No one would suggest that you tie the knot simply to acquire the tax blessings of the Internal Revenue Service. But the tax code does provide a few wedding gifts to those who say "I do."
Kevin O'Brien, who formerly taught in the School of Accountancy graduate program at the University of Denver; certified public accountant Libby Fay of Denver; and Valerie Antonioli, a Certified Financial Planner professional and investment adviser for Cherry Hills Investment Advisors LLC of Denver, offered tips for making the extended honeymoon a little sweeter when you prepare your tax return.
"A taxpayer who couldn't pay into an IRA when single can use the joint income to fund one and potentially put away thousands of dollars for retirement while receiving substantial tax benefits," says Kevin O'Brien.
For years, taxpayers complained about the marriage penalty. This occurred when spouses earned similar salaries, the combination of which pushed the couple into a higher tax bracket than they would have occupied if they were still single. Congress took steps to reduce that penalty, making the joint tax bill for married couples remains closer to the combined total they would have owed as single taxpayers, Antonioli said. Depending on the incomes, there still can be a marriage penalty. But if the taxpaying spouses have substantially different salaries, the lower one can pull the higher one down into a lower bracket, reducing their overall taxes.
Typically, of course, both spouses would prefer to have good incomes, but if one person has a substantial income and marries someone making little or no money, "that's golden as far as getting some tax benefits," said O'Brien, who now is chairman of the Business Ethics and Legal Studies Department at DU's Daniels College of Business.
1. Your spouse may be a tax shelter
While O'Brien doesn't advise anyone to seek out a partner specifically because he or she has a business that's losing money, it's worth noting that the negative numbers of one person in a marriage can help both spouses. The spouse who's losing money may not take advantage of some deductions, including those dealing with the house, but the spouse who's making money may use the loss as a tax write-off. "This is also true of high medical expenses," O'Brien said.
2. Jobless spouse can have an IRA
A spouse may contribute to an individual retirement account (IRA) even if he or she doesn't work. Additionally, said Antonioli, the point at which the IRA benefits are phased out based on income are dramatically higher for married couples than they are for single people.
"A taxpayer who couldn't pay into an IRA when single can use the joint income to fund one and potentially put away thousands of dollars for retirement while receiving substantial tax benefits," O'Brien said.
3. Couples may "benefit-shop"
If both spouses have benefit packages from their jobs, they can pick the most valuable benefits from the two plans, Antonioli said. The right mixture of benefits from two plans can increase a couple's tax savings in other ways. Fay mentioned child care as an example. "If they have dependent children, they can benefit from using benefit plans such as dependent care plans," Fay said in an email. "It is frequently the case that one of them may not have such a plan, but the other one does."
4. A married couple can get greater charitable contribution deductions
There's a limit to the charitable contributions that may be deducted in a year, based on income. Having a spouse can raise that limit, Fay said. "If one of them makes very large charitable contributions but doesn't have income of at least double that amount, the excess contributions are carried over to the following year," she noted. "In a jointly filed return, they can add the spouse's income in determining the currently deductible amount. So they save current taxes."
5. Marriage can protect the estate
Being married can help a wealthy person protect the assets he leaves behind when he dies. Under federal tax laws, you can leave any amount of money to a spouse without generating estate tax, so this exemption protects the deceased's estate until the spouse dies.
6. Filing can take less time and expense
This one is simple: If the spouses have to file just one tax return, there's a good chance that it will take less time to assemble the paperwork—at least for the one not doing the taxes—and cost less to have it prepared.
7. Tax downsides to marriage
There are tax benefits to nuptials, but some drawbacks exist as well. They don't mean you shouldn't get hitched; just consider them unwelcome gifts, along with that third toaster oven and the cheap fondue set.
First, once you sign the joint return, you are fully responsible for every number that's in it. If your spouse fudges a figure, you're equally liable for the consequences. The University of Denver's Kevin O'Brien noted that you aren't responsible for your spouse's mistakes or deliberate omissions if they happened in the years before you married or if you can prove that you didn't know about them.
Also, it might be harder to reach the higher minimum percentages of income necessary to be able to deduct medical expenses, given the combined income, unless one or both of you had significant expenses. And finally, if there's a garnishment for an unpaid loan or child support against a spouse, a refund could be delayed or blocked, O'Brien said.

Stealthy Aquto Raises $8M to Make Cellular Data More Affordable
Serial entrepreneur Susie Kim Riley is at it again, raising $8 million in Series A funding for Aquto, a start-up that's working on a new way to help people cope with the rising cost of cellular data, VentureWire has learned.
A former entrepreneur in residence at North Bridge Venture Partners and Matrix Partners, which are backing Aquto, Riley says that consumers are at the limit of what they can afford to pay for cellular data and telecommunications providers are at the limit of what they can afford to offer. Mobile application developers, content providers and advertisers are affected by the high cost of data, too.
Still, cellular data networks are becoming ever more powerful, and everybody wants the best experience on their smartphones. So Aquto is building a service and platform for members of the telecommunications ecosystem to develop "new value exchange business models" to help offset cellular data's high cost, Riley said.
Smartphones are becoming so important that mobile data is "almost like water," she added. "You need it."
Riley isn't talking about the details of her technology or her business model until Aquto emerges from stealth early next year. But she's assembled people who know telecommunications along with people who know applications, content and advertising, and she said she's working with a few major carriers in the U.S. and internationally.
Her previous company, Camiant, which helped carriers manage policies for services, was sold to Tekelec in 2010 for about $135 million. She's also been with Broadband Access Systems and Maker Communications. North Bridge Partner Ed Anderson, whose firm backed Camiant, said Riley is a smart, tenacious entrepreneur with a gift for explaining complex technology in simple ways. He said she successfully guided Camiant through several twists and turns, and she has her work cut out for her at Aquto.
"Her challenge is getting in first and procuring the leading market share and hanging on to it through constant innovation while others with larger resources than a start-up enter the market, which is a time-honored tradition with start-ups," said Anderson, who along with Matrix General Partner Tim Barrows has joined Aquto's board.
Riley's husband, Bart Riley, is also a serial entrepreneur who's done several start-ups of his own. He's currently the co-founder and chief technology officer of lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems, which this month filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The two take turns traveling so they can share the care of their two children, a process that Riley compares to birds "taking turns bringing the worm home."
"People look at us like we're crazy, but if you really want to do something, you figure out a way to make it work," she said.
Born in Korea and raised in Malaysia, she said her parents instilled in her the importance of not letting people down. She came to the U.S. to attend college and said the U.S. offers unparalleled opportunities for smart, driven people.
"Other countries don't have the same culture around VCs and innovation," she said. "…You need all the right connections to start something. But in the U.S., she said, "you come up with a few good ideas, convince people to give you money and go off and do it."

Foolish Questions
see American Memory site: The American Variety Stage: Vaudeville and Popular Entertainment, 1870-1920
The travellers : comedy sketch / by Barry Gray ; written for Morton & Rossie.
Page 10 "Foolish Questions"
Did you ever notice, as you pass along through life,
The many foolish questions—that are asked?
When you chance to go out strolling, with your sweetheart, or your wife
The many foolish questions that are asked?
You don't know why you ask them, but you ask them just the same,
You can't just recollect from where the habit came.
So, with your approbation, just a few of them we'll name,
Of the many foolish questions that are asked
(cho. ad lib continuous)
When your husband comes home late, and wet to the skin about,
Wifey opens up the window, and and asks him, "if its' raining out?"
That's the time for "him to answer," it's not raining out, my pet.
But the sun was drawing water, and
When it spilled some, I got wet.
When hubby's wisdom tooth is aching,
And, he sits, and holds his jaw.
Wifey very cooly asks him.
If his tooth is really sore?
Hubby scowls at her in answer,
and he violently blurts,
No, you daffy little pin-head,
It's my corn alone that hurts.
When she puts her coat and hat on,
You will question her, no doubt,
Like a chump, you're bound to ask her,
If she's intending going out?
That' the cue for little wifey,
To turn on him and get the laugh,
She should answer, "no, you stupid,"
"I'm going to take my bath."
When hubby staggers home so drunk he doesn't know his name.
He will hear the same old question, "So you've come home drunk again?"
He says, "Dear, your off your noodle, in the morning I'll explain"
You can see that I'm not drunk, but sailing in an areoplane."
When your wife is in the kitchen, rolling dough and nearly dead,
It's a cinch you're bound to ask her, if she's going to make bread?
Can't you see, what I am doing, wifey sharply says to him,
I'm out in a pumpkin orchard, sawing off a hickory limb.
When it nears the hour of midnight, and on the pillow she lays her head,
Hubby site there, like a boob, and asks her, if she's going to bed?
She will answer slow and weary, now how can you ask me that?
When you're looking at me feeding Uneeda biscuits to the cat.
In the lobby of a theatre, when you're waiting in to go,
There's the friend who'll always ask you, if you're going to see the show?
That's the time for you to answer, no, you chuckle-headed knave,
I am going in the theatre to get a hair cut and a shave.
Everyday you'll surely find
These are samples of the kind of the
Many foolish questions that are asked.

The Moment Coldplay's Chris Martin Is UPSTAGED By His Kids
Let's be real here, the children of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow were always going to have some serious talent.
As far as celeb kids go, Apple and Moses Martin have kept a pretty low profile since they were born. Until now!
This week at a Boys and Girls Club charity fundraiser, Apple and Moses took to the stage with their Dad, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Apple covered Ariana Grande's "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart" while Moses belted out "House of Gold," by Twenty-One Pilots.
Apple & Moses have more talent in their little toe nail then i have in my entire body!— Rose-Iris (@Esther_Byrne) October 23, 2016
Apple and Moses have a bit too much talent imo ..its unfair to the rest of human race 🤔😂— Veronika (@verocoldplay) October 23, 2016
Watch their stunning performances below. Is there such a thing as TOO much talent?

"Ein bißchen Frieden" ("A Little Peace" in English) is a song in German, written by prolific German Eurovision-writing duo Ralph Siegel (music) and Bernd Meinunger (lyrics) for the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, held in Harrogate, England. It was performed by 17-year-old German high-school student Nicole, resulting in Germany's first win at the Eurovision Song Contest by a record margin of 61 points, setting a new record for the largest winning margin that lasted until the Eurovision Song Contest 1997.
"Ein bißchen Frieden" was the eighteenth and final song performed during the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest. At the close of voting, it had received 161 points, placing first in a field of 18.
The performance was unlike most other Eurovision entrants in that Nicole performed while seated on a stool, playing a white acoustic guitar and accompanied by a backing group which included a harpist. The gentle ballad describes a wish for world peace, with the lyrics sung in first person, and also describes the beauty of the natural world.
After winning the contest, Nicole performed the reprise in four different languages: German, English, French and Dutch,[1] and released recordings in five additional languages across Europe: Danish, Italian, Russian, and a German-English-Dutch combination and a German-English-Italian combination. It topped the charts in many countries, selling more than three million copies, and the English version was the last Eurovision winner to top the charts in the United Kingdom. The English version also holds the honour of becoming the 500th British Number One,[1] though it was felt by some[who?] in the UK that the song's success, along with the poor showing of the UK entry "One Step Further" by Bardo, represented a protest against the Falklands War.
The song was chosen in an internet poll conducted by the European Broadcasting Union in 2005 as one of the 14 most popular songs in the history of the Eurovision, and was one of the entrants in the Congratulations 50th anniversary concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, held in October 2005. Although Nicole was not at the concert, it was re-enacted by dancers equipped with white guitars and a live orchestra as the original footage was shown in the background. "Ein bißchen Frieden" finished as the seventh most popular song in the history of the contest.
The song was succeeded as Contest winner in 1983 by "Si la vie est cadeau" by Corinne Hermès representing Luxembourg.
It was succeeded as German representative at the 1983 Contest by Hoffmann & Hoffmann with "Rücksicht".
In 1982 "Ein bißchen Frieden" was covered in Czech as "Jsme deti slunce" by Jaromír Mayer, in Croatian as "Malo Mira" by Ana Štefok, in Danish as "En smule fred" by Susanne Lana, in Hungarian as "Egy kis nyugalmat kívánok én" by Neoton Família, in Polish as "Troszeczkę ziemi, troszeczkę słońca" by Eleni Tzoka and in Finnish as "Vain Hieman Rauhaa" by Katri Helena. In 1996, the Swedish techno/folk/bluegrass band Rednex, known for their hit Cotton-Eye Joe around that time, did a cover of "Ein bißchen Frieden," also played in the Eurovision Song Contest. The song has since been rendered in English as "A Little Peace" recorded by Daniel O'Donnell for his 1997 album I Believe, and in Dutch as "Een Beetje Vrede" recorded by Kathleen Aerts for her 2009 album In Symfonie.
Monica Forsberg wrote lyrics in Swedish as "En liten fågel", and the song became popular among dansband groups. It was recorded in Swedish by Stefan Borsch on his 1982 album En liten fågel[2] as well as releasing it as a single the same year[3] and Mats Bergmans on his 2004 album Vänd dig inte om.[4] It was also recorded by Ingmar Nordströms on 1982 album Saxparty 9.[5]

Here's to you, cheers to you...
This weekend we pause to celebrate the great men of our lives who tucked us in, changed our oil, loved our mothers, and yes....walked us down the aisle.
One of the sweet pleasures of our business is getting to know the brides and their families. We meet lots and lots of wonderful, adoring, doting mothers -- and occasionally we are blessed enough to meet dear ol' dad, too.
Fathers have such a unique place in weddings as he gives his daughter away - a symbolic and moving role that is the pivotal moment of joining two families.
Today and all weekend we tip our hats to the dads we have known and the dads we have yet to meet -- anticipating that sweet moment when he sees her in The Dress for the first time and acknowledges, even in some small part, that his baby girl is growing up.
For all you do - in weddings and in life - dads, we honor you!

Our aim is to provide a high-quality geography education for pupils to inspire a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
Our teaching aims equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth's key physical and human processes.
As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
The geography curriculum in Years 7 and 8 is based on building fundamental geographical skills and essential knowledge needed to understand and make sense of a complex world.
In Year 7, the topics include map and atlas skills, British geography, British weather and climate, urban environments and the tropical rainforest ecosystem.
In Year 8, the topics include earthquakes and volcanoes, environmental interactions and population, migration and development.
The GCSE geography curriculum is taught in Years 9-11 and is based on the AQA Geography (9035) specification through four topics and two pieces of controlled assessment.
The GCSE is assessed through two exams in Year 11 worth 75 per cent of the marks and two pieces of controlled assessment worth the remaining 25 per cent of the marks.
In Year 9, pupils study the topic of natural hazards and this includes the study of volcanoes, earthquakes, tropical storms and wildfires. They also study a second topic of tourism including a fieldtrip to the Roman City of Bath.
In Year 10, pupils study the topic of urban environments (cities) including studies of cities in more and less developed countries and their sustainability. This topic also involves a fieldtrip to Salford Quays in Greater Manchester to collect data for a piece of controlled assessment written up in Year 10.
In Year 11, pupils study the topic of coastal environments including studies of coastal landscapes and their conservation and protection.
A Level
At A Level, pupils study the AQA geography specification studying four topics in Year 12 and three in Year 13 together with develop a range of cartographic, graphical and statistical skills.
In Year 12, pupils study two physical geographical topics of river and coastal environments and two human geographical topics of population and energy in order to sit the Unit 1 exam. Pupils also take part in river fieldwork and learn practical skills in order to sit the Unit 2 skills exam.
In Year 13, pupils study two physical geographical topics of plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis and ecosystems together with one human geographical topic on world cities in order to sit the Unit 3 exam. Pupils also take part in fieldwork in Sutton Park in order to sit the Unit 4A skills exam.
Extra Curricular
Geography fieldtrips and fieldwork are an important part of a young person's geographical education and they include a visit to the City of Bath in Year 9, a visit to Salford Quays in Greater Manchester in Year 10 and a visit to the Weston-super-Mare coastal environment in Year 11.
In Year 12 and 13, fieldtrips include visits to the River Churn in Gloucestershire, and visits to London and Sutton Park.
Residential geographical trips in Years 12 and 13 have also been organised to the Dorset coast and the Lake District.

A newly completed £44million facility to prepare the next generations of fast jet pilots to cope with the high 'G forces' involved in air combat has been unveiled at RAF College Cranwell.
The High G Training and Test Facility was officially opened by Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier at a ceremony on Monday, when he literally 'went for a spin' in the centrifuge which forms the showpiece of the newly developed RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine, which is relocating to Cranwell from RAF Henlow.
It is the culmination of a five year project and has taken contractors Galliford Try two years to build, with the centrifuge itself designed, built and installed by Austrian technical firm AMST.
To house the 7.5m-long arm and 'gondola' which carries the training pilot, 4.5metre-deep foundations were dug to fit the central motor into the ground which was lifted in by crane.
It replaces the 62-year-old old facility at Farnborough which was now deemed too slow to handle the needs of modern fast jet pilots training to fly the Typhoon and Lightning. Rather than simply spinning the pilot around to experience the effects, the new, fully representative cockpit has a programmable computer generated simulation of the view from the aircraft to give the pilot the full impression of turns and rolls rather than just concentrating on coping with the G forces.
The gondola view can be programmed as a Hawk, Typhoon or Lightning and each pilot would be in the centrifuge for about 20 minutes.
Having formally opened the facility, Sir Stephen had a go in the centrifuge, going up to about 6 G. It has reached 12 G in testing.
He said: "Personally it gives me great pleasure to see us now have a facility that gives us exactly what we need for the air force in the 21st century for that next generation. It will enhance our safety and operational effectiveness.
"It also gives us opportunity to trial our equipment in a representative environment which is really important."
Air Commodore David McLoughlin, Air Officer Medical Operations, in charge of the High G testing programme and Centre for Aviation Medicine, said six training courses have used the new facility at RAF Cranwell since it came on stream in December.
He said overall reaction from that next generation of pilots has been extremely positive, with comments such as "awesome", "can I have another go" and "best training I have had" made by trainees.
Medical officers are also gaining confidence that students can properly combat the effects of G while flying an aircraft. It will mean increased safety by improving confidence of pilots when handling the effects of G, acting as a regular refresher too, as well as testing out new kit.
Alongside the RAF medical experts, the instruction will be provided by Thales training facilitators who are ex-fast jet aircrew, along with equipment fitters and engineers.
David Bolsover, Training manager at the facility, explained that experiencing a turn at 8 G would mean your body would effectively weigh eight times normal gravity, forcing you down into the seat. "If you were not wearing any protective equipment then you have to tense your body and squeeze the blood back up from your extremities. You don't want to be first learning G strain in an aircraft. In the Lightning or Typhoon you wear inflating trousers or a whole body G suit that does some of that work for you."
Air Cdre McLoughlin said: "America, China, Russia, India and a small number of other countries have a high performance centrifuge and now the UK joins that list of nations."
He said: "It is a world class facility. Up until this point we had the old centrifuge but it is at the end of its life and is very slow. This moves in all three directions, is much more representative and can move from one to nine G in nine seconds - that is much more like the performance of the aircraft today."
He said within the gondola they can fit in mock cockpits of each of the aircraft they train for.
The Air Commodore said there are currently about 150 people woring in the Centre for Aviation Medicine at Henlow and so there would be quite an increase in volume of people coming to Cranwell, along with many more coming to train for short periods.
He added: "We want to take the opportunity to make the rest of the centre a world class facility and are looking at what the Americans are doing along with the Germans and French and so on."
Commenting on the Sir Stephen's flight in the simulator, he felt he had done really well, considering he does not get to fly much these days.

I've just seen a TEDx Video from Christopher McDougall, a ultra marathon runner. Ultra marathon means running for more than 100 miles. He is the fastest ultra marathon runner in the world. No one managed to beat him instead some of the Tarahumara Indians who live in the canyons of north Mexico. These people have running as a part of their lifestyle. They can fun for hundreds of miles barefoot on the sharp rocks of the mountains, up and down. And all of the modern diseases are completely unknown for their society!
Christopher McDougall started as every other marathon runner and used every possible kind of modern running shoes. At the end the result was always the same – a lot of injuries and health problems. At some point he discovered the barefoot running and since them he had no injuries at all.
Why am I writing this to you? In order to share my own experience with you. When i was a child I was very good in long-distance running. My dream was to become an athlete for long distances. But at the age of 8 I fell down from a high tree directly on my head and have a strong concussion, so my parents preferred that I stop with such big physical exposures. I stopped, but I was still doing a lot of sports. Nevertheless my dream was more or less death. But this changed 3 years ago. In the summer I've decided to start to walk a little barefoot because it is so healthy. As a child I used to play a lot barefoot around, especially when I was at the village of my grandparents. And because this village is near the Black sea, we went to the beach every single day in the summer. And there I walked barefoot as well. So barefoot walking was actually nothing new for me. At first it was not so easy to start to walk barefoot again. Even the smallest stones made my feet hurt. But this changed with the time.
I started to walk a lot barefoot and ended even walking only barefoot the whole summer, from the end of May till the beginning of October. I like it a lot. Barefoot walking makes your whole body much stronger and increases your endurance enormously. But there is a problem – the cold weather in the other three seasons. I wanted to start to walk barefoot even in winter, but my feet are always very cold when I'm not moving fast. Two years ago I've discovered a great help – the Vibram Five Finger Shoes. These are good for the spring and autumn even if you have cold feet, because you can always put two pairs of good wool socks. There are even some models as KSO Trek (and some other coming soon) which you can use in winter, but only if it is not wet.
There is still not good alternative for wet weather. So I was looking forward to find a solution, so I can walk barefoot or almost barefoot with the Vibram Five Fingers also in cold and wet weather. At the same time I've decided to walk 7 to 10 km to and back from my office in order to save some money and spend them. I knew that if I run I'm not going to feel cold. But I was lazy to do 17 to 20 km of running everyday while caring a bag with some stuff and clothes to change and so on. So I skipped this possibility for a long time. Till I met the right person at the right time.
Last summer we were doing one of our moon light hikes in the mountains near Freiburg with some friends and couch surfers. We do such hikes every time when it is full moon and there are no clouds. These are really great and let you experience something completely new – the nature and your own body in the night. And of course to enjoy the sunset and the sunrise, which are definitely the most beautiful times of the day. At this hike one of my friends seen that we are hiking barefoot in the night and told us about the Tarahumara Indians who run for hundreds of miles barefoot. I was pretty interested in this topic, so he sent me the next day some articles about this. Unfortunately (or fortunately as it turned out later) I had no time to read them on the next day. I had a very busy day in the office. At the end of the day my head was full with stupidities and I've spontaneously decided to go again for a hike after work. I've hiked for several hours before it started to get really dark. I was alone in the woods of the Black Forest Mountain in some place I've never been before. And this time it was very very dark, so I had to go back down in some village as soon as possible in order not to get lost and to have to spend the whole night in the mountain. So I decided to run down the hills as fast as I can. I ran for about one hour till I've arrived in a small city. I was running barefoot on different grounds feeling very toning.
On the next morning I've discovered that I can barely move all my arm muscles! I was running barefoot down the hill for about 10 km, but the muscles of my legs were completely ok. Where does this muscle strain in the arms come from? Very strange, I had no clue. Some hours later I had some time in the office to read the articles about the Tarahumara Indians. There was a very good description of their barefoot running technique on the rocky canyons and mountains in north Mexico. They use their toes and front part of the leg and make small but fast steps and move their arms a lot. Amazing! Without knowing this while running barefoot down the slope, my body discovered automatically the best way of running. That's why I had this muscle strains in the arms and not in the legs. I was working more with the arms than with the legs. And I had a lot of fun running barefoot such a long distance on the mountainous terrain. I discovered the running again for myself.
Since then I'm running with my Vibram Five Fingers KSO Trek in the winter to and from work for 20 km and have no problems with the cold and wet weather. I'm looking forward to the time when I will walk barefoot even in winter. I not only feeling much better, but I also have again a dream to become a ultra marathon runner 🙂
