Values & Ethos
We are proud to announce in 2015 we were awarded the Quality Mark as a Values-based School.
Ramridge Ethos
Ramridge Primary School is an inclusive, caring community in which each individual is valued and encouraged to grow. Our learning community is built upon the shared belief that the development of each child must be at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe and happy environment in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and be inspired to surpass expectations.
At Ramridge we teach children values. Values are aspirational attributes and attitudes. These can be nurtured to help people discover the very best of themselves, which enables them to be good citizens and prepare them for the life of work. It equips pupils with social skills that help them co-operate, and relate to others effectively. It provides them with the self-esteem and confidence to explore and develop their full potential.
• Improve behaviour and relationships.
• Develop pupils' understanding of values and their importance.
• Encourage children to model values both in and out of school.
• Promote values through the curriculum.
• Promote values by being good adult role models.
• Promote values through colourful, engaging displays.
• Encourage parents to support the programme through the website, newsletters and "Values Workshops".
What we do:
Our Values Education Programme consists of two sets of 11 values covered over a two year period. The programme then repeats itself.
Each month a new value is introduced through values lessons in each class. This value then forms a 4 week cycle of introducing the value, links to Growth Mindset, links to British Values and then an area of topical interest e.g. E-safety.
Further understanding of the value in the context of the school and the wider community is developed through assemblies. Our Ofsted (June 2013) noted assemblies as "good opportunities for pupils to consider important values such as respect and resilience".
Children and staff 'Values Role Models' are chosen. Click the link below for more information.
Opportunities to discuss values are created through lessons such as PSHE as well as informal opportunities such as playtime.
Values are promoted by all staff in every aspect of school life.
"Reflection Time" will be used, encouraging children to reflect upon values during assemblies and in classrooms. To see examples of our reflection time click the link below.
Values are displayed throughout the school and within each classroom.
Values are promoted to parents through the website, letters, newsletters and parent workshops. Parents can celebrate their child showing values at home by emailing email@example.com

Lady Gaga will return to American Horror Story for its sixth season, but most likely in a new role.
When asked by New York radio station Z100 if she would return to the series, the actress and singer said simply, "yes". But offered no details.
"I can't promise you how or when or anything like that," she said.
Gaga played The Countess in season five, for which she won a Golden Globe.
If she does return to the show, created by Ryan Murphy, it will most likely be in a different role.
American Horror Story is an anthology that keeps many of the same actors from series to series, but changes up themes and characters.
The award-winning show was renewed for season six in November.
FX is yet to confirm Gaga's return.

So far 2008 has been about the renewal and reinvigoration of Porsche's 911 lineup, with the highest-performance variants still to receive their dual-clutch PDK gearboxes and direct-injection upgrades. Next year will be an even bigger year for Porsche, however, as there are more updated 911 models due as well as the facelifted Cayman and Boxster The first official images and details for the 2010 Porsche Cayman and Boxster have now been revealed, just hours before the cars make their world debut at this week's Los Angeles Auto Show. Set to go on sale next year as 2010 models, the new Cayman and Boxster can be distinguished from the current models by their slightly revised headlights, tweaks to the air intakes, and the addition of LED tail lights. 2010 Porsche Cayman and Boxster

These are the projects I made with the September Scrapologie kit, South Pacific. Loved the colours in this kit. And fun K&Co chipboard letters. And great Basic Grey rub-ons. Was a fun one. :)
Summer Lily loves art, and most days says she wants to be an artist. I used some of the embellishments from the kit to create flowers and used white wire for the stems. Here you can see how the flowers come off the page slightly, because of the wire:
This one is of Addie Blue in her blue princess dress, on Summer Lily's birthday.
Addie Blue playing with guys from the Loving Family sets... we spent many hours putting those guys in and out of the bed, and in and out of the bus...
Love this photo of Summer Lily.. and think this is one of my new favourite layouts. I washed the scalloped cardstock with gesso first and then added some messy watercolour. The ribbon, strip of patterned paper and ledger paper are all adhered in place in some messy gesso.
And finally, a little thank you card:
Enjoy your day :)

text: In the recent past the urgent need for combating climate change has triggered both design and implementation of a large number of policies, programmes and activities in the European Union. The CONCERTO initiative established in 2005 by the European Commission can be considered as a driving force towards sustainable community development. During its creation, the defining concepts in mind were sustainability, replication and cost effectiveness, and the project aimed at revolutionising and modernising communities' energy systems. With an initial network of 27 cities, the CONCERTO concept ignited, and five years later 58 cities in 23 countries across Europe are demonstrating and over 70 associated communities benefit from the growing stock of knowledge. The Planning & Implementation Assessment Report presents an appraisal of the planning and implementation processes of the first generation CONCERTO municipalities and identifies barriers and drivers for success.

Today I turn 39. I am excited to be approaching 40...just like I was excited to approach 30. A new layer to my journey. Sinking deeper into who I am. Deeper into being more comfortable in my skin.
I've been tender with emotion the last few days. Sitting with these feelings Stepping into them. Reflecting on my life, the balance between openness and protecting my heart. Meditating on what feels authentic in my bones and what feels forced. I sense a renewal coming. A cleansing of sorts in many areas of my life. I've been thinking about age and what it means to me.
I remember in my late twenties, I was outside of my parent's house and my dad noticed a gray hair on my head. "Geeez...you have a gray hair!" My response was "Really? Where? That's awesome!" I don't necessarily feel that way about gray hairs on my head now. : ) But I do notice that I am not afraid of age but rather intrigued and thrilled. Not sure if that will change but I am reveling in it now.
I took this self portrait while waiting for an appointment with a well know psychic in my area three years ago. This waiting room was so very eclectic. Not too long after this photo was taken, I was told by said psychic that a boy spirit of a baby I had in another life wanted to come back into this life to be with me. I was a Queen, which allowed concubines to breastfeed my children and one of them was left longing for a deeper connection to me, in this life. My life had been easy...many things done for me or to me, without much independence. In this life I wanted to know what suffering felt like. I wanted to feel more, period.
She said other things but these were the two that continue to come into my mind. Here I am three years later with a boy and my whole life I have FELT...everything. Intense suffering has led to intense joy. Not sure what to believe...but what I do know is that her telling me that felt romantic and seems to parallel how my life is unfolding.
{i woke up this morning to a husband singing happy birthday to me, hovering over my pillow lit up by a candle burning, stuck inside a gluten free/vegan raw raspberry cheesecake slice. a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.}
ps. the psychic also said that my husband was a nobleman in our past life and we were in love but not allowed to be together and that is why he searched for me in this life. that's pretty hot. ; )

This week's blog posts will be devoted to my time here on the West Coat at the Light Photographic Workshops - formerly the Lepp Institute. As usual, I'll give a photo tip for each post.
The workshop begins in a few hours. The drive along the coast yesterday from San Fran to Los Osos was wonderful. Here's are two shots that I took with my G10.
Today's tip: Never leave home without a polarizing filter. In addition to darkening a blue sky and reducing reflections on water, it can also make your pictures look sharper – by reducing reflections on atmospheric haze.

Amidst the political twist and turn, Wings India 2018, the flagship event of the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), was inaugurated by the K.T. Rama Rao, Minister for Industry, Commerce and IT, Government of Telangana, at the Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad.
The biennial event, organised by FICCI jointly with MoCA and Airport Authority of India (AAI), will witness the global industry leaders discussing policy issues and business aspects of the civil aviation sector. The theme of the four-day biennial event this year is 'India-Global Aviation Hub'.
Delivering his inaugural speech, Rama Rao complimented the former Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapati Raju and his entire team at the Ministry of Civil Aviation for their exemplary work in expanding the reach of the aviation industry in the country. He congratulated them for implementation of the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik)-Regional connectivity Scheme (RCS) which has brought the unserved and underserved areas under the ambit of civil aviation.
"They have done a stellar work... and I hope the civil aviation industry continues to grow," he said.
Gajapati Raju resigned from his post before commencement of the event.
Talking about the growth of the aerospace industry in Telangana, the Minister said that it is the most vibrant hub of this industry in India and hosts large number of global firms in aerospace and aviation sector.
He informed that the Warangal airport is being made functional under RCS.
Talking about the leadership position of his state in the sector specific skill in the aviation and aerospace sector, he requested MoCA to open a regional centre of the National Aviation University in the state.
Speaking further Rama Rao added that Telangana has the most competitive incentive offer for setting up aviation industry in the country and is establishing fourth aerospace park. At present, state has three aerospace park out of which two have been designated as the aerospace special economic zone. State government envisaged to make Telangana as skilled manpower provider to this industry, not only in India, but for the world.
One of the major focus areas of the Wings India 2018 is UDAN-RCS, which was launched as part of the National Civil Aviation Policy 2016, which envisions enhancing regional connectivity through a market-based mechanism in which airlines bid for seat subsidies.
This is first-of-its-kind scheme globally to create affordable yet economically viable and profitable flights on regional routes so that flying becomes affordable to the common man even in small towns.
Speaking at the event, Rajiv Nayan Choubey, Secretary, MoCA, discussed how UDAN is changing the contours of the civil aviation industry in India and the new policy initiatives that will make the sector more vibrant. He anticipates India becoming the world's biggest aviation market in coming years if the fuel prices remains low. At present country is witnessing around 20 per cent year on year growth in this sector, he said.
Calling the subsidy being given under the RCS as a "significant political step", Choubey said that oil prices needed to remain soft, below $80 a barrel for the sector to grow at a CAGR of 15 per cent for the next 20 years. RCS will help industry grow at 15 per cent for next two decades. "This will require doubling of airport capacity every five years." Choubey said that the Government was committed to connecting the cities and towns to increase regional connectivity in the country.
Talking further he said that the ministry wants to be ahead of the growth curve and the Expression of Interest for the disinvestment of the Air India and Pawan Hans will be sent out in next couple of weeks. Highlighting a major concern of the sector, he said that VAT on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) was among the highest in the world and if state government reduce it this will help in reducing the ticket prices and state will not lose much revenue also.
Later addressing the press, Choubey informed that the state governments are very enthusiastic about the UDAN and they are holding discussion with the airlines for increasing air traffic in their states. Highlighting some of the key challenges in the sector, he discussed the need for better air navigation and traffic management and matching infrastructure with growth.
Discussing the new developments in RCS scheme, the Secretary informed that the Government of Assam has proposed to give a support of 100 crore per year for three years for international flights originating from Assam. He did not see any need for central support if state government takes any such initiatives and said that UDAN is a template for such scheme.
Talking on the airport expansion, he said that AAI, with capital expenditure plan of 18,000 crore for four years, is working on expansion of a dozen brown field airports and two green field airports, one each at Delhi and Mumbai.
On the requirement of additional pilots due to massive expansion of fleets, he said that India would be requiring around eight to ten thousand pilots in next half decade and we are working on it vigorously. India has around 900 aircraft on order.
Replying to a query on regulation for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), B.S. Bhullar, Director General, DGCA, during the press conference, said that hopefully in next couple of month government will be able to come out with it. Speaking on regulation for seaplanes, Bhullar said that for non-scheduled flights no regulation is required but for scheduled flights, government in next couple of months, will notify it.
Talking to SP's ShowNews on Indian Air Force's support for UDAN, Secretary, on the side lines of press meet said that they are very supportive and there no issue between us. We understand each other's need," he said.
During the event, a White Paper and Exhibitors Directory were unveiled and two e-portals on air cargo were launched.
The four-day event will witness the presence of 125 exhibitors and 35 CEOs. Wings India 2018 will also see representation from 10 countries, namely USA, Japan, UK, Russia, Singapore, France, Germany, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Italy and Iran. Besides, 15 aircraft by ATR, Honda, Trujet, Gulfstream, Boeing, Embraer, Dassault, Club one Air, Aeroteck, Zoom Air, Air India, NAL and others will be on static display. Besides the conference and exhibition, Roundtables on Tourism, Cargo and Logistics and Skills and G2B and B2B meetings are scheduled. More than 300 B2B meetings are scheduled during the course of the event.

I've been fiddling with wooden hinges, and can't get good dowel stock. Epecially dowel stock that matches the species of wood I'm working with. I gleaned this jig from another Rob Cosman video.
I took a 2" piece of walnut from the scrap pile. I drilled a 1/4" (0.247" actually) hole in it close to one face. I took a few passes through the drum sander to just show the hole cut. I chamfered one end to accept the workpiece stock. I clamped an old plane iron creating an awkward looking jig.
My first pass came out too thin. I clamped a playing card between the iron and the walnut. My second attempt came out at 0.247". Blind ass luck to get it that close, however, my intent was to go for that diameter, so 2nd attempt or 12th attempt, I was in for the long haul.
Here's the process of making the dowel:
I started by ripping a few 5/16" strips from the stock I'm using to make my box. Sorry Niki, I used the GRRipper. I don't think it's an accident waiting to happen. I use the GRRipper in conjunction with the MJ Splitter.
After I get a piece of oversized square stock, I chuck it up in my hand drill and use the belt sander to sharpen the end of it to go into the jig.
I wanted to knock off the edges to make more of an octagon to relieve stress on the jig. I could have done this on the tablesaw with the blade at 45, but this isn't a precision maneuver, so I just used the belt sander. Next time I'm going to use a small parts clamp I have to knock the edges off first, then sharpen the end. This way, I had to hold them with my fingers, risking a slight manicure while I was doing it. I might have used the GRRipper for this too, but would have just been to torment, Niki.
I chuck the stock up in the drill, and then head to the jig.
This is a picture of the stock part way through the jig.
When I get near the end of the stock, I reverse the drill, chuck up the other end, and pull it through.
And the finished dowel, sitting atop my little jig.
Thanks for looking!

Speaking as a panellist at a High Level Seminar on Good Financial Governance in Africa, How to Graduate from Aid, the Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), Steve Freer, emphasised the importance of governments striving to implement accrual accounting in accordance with modern international standards.
The Seminar discussed a draft Declaration on Good Public Financial Governance for consideration by African Ministers of Finance. The high level seminar was chaired by Komla Dumor of BBC Network Africa. The Panel comprised:
Mr Freer welcomed the proposed declaration but stressed the importance of individual governments developing and publishing detailed implementation plans so that there is transparency about the planned pathway to better public financial management, and a clear basis for measurement of progress.
Mr Freer said,
"The similarity between 'accounting' and 'accountability' is not a coincidence. If we are serious about delivering real improvements in accountability, it is critically important that governments adopt and implement accounting standards which inspire confidence and enable comparability."

(Posted March 13th 2017 @ 9:40 AM by: Cathy Cestnick)
I don't think our kids know what an apron is!
The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a holder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning dirty ears.
From the chicken coop the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids; and when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron and the men would know it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that "old-time" apron that served so many purposes. Grandma used it to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughter sets hers on the window sill to thaw.

Apple secretly working on OLED display technology in Taiwan
Apple has secretly started a laboratory in Taiwan for developing OLED display technology. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. The unique feature of an OLED display is that it works without a backlight; thus, it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD).
Apple has been trying to make it's iPhone and iPad products thinner and lighter and OLED technology is directly helpful in achieving this goal. Around 50 engineers have been hired to work on this technology, most of them are from local taiwanese companies – AU Optronics Corp. and Qualcomm Inc. The lab is located in a building which was earlier probably owned by Qualcomm. OLED display is also very flexible. The only downside is that OLED displays are expensive to manufacture.
Samsung and Sony also have been working on this technology. Apple has officially declined to comment on this issue.

[JURIST] Antonio Cassese [JURIST news archive], a renowned Italian international war crimes expert and key figure in the establishment of two international criminal tribunals, died Saturday in Florence, Italy, at the age of 74. Cassese was the first president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the first President [JURIST report] of the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) [official websites]. In an expert capacity, Cassese was also involved in the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) [official website] as well as the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur [commission report, PDF]. Upon learning of Cassesse's death, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon [official profile] praised [press release] Cassese's contributions to the international legal community:
Throughout his distinguished career Antonio Cassese made his exceptional professional skills available to the United Nations. … In these and many other functions Antonio Cassese shaped the development of international criminal justice and made a major contribution to fighting impunity and bringing about an age of accountability. … The United Nations will fondly remember Antonio Cassese as a giant of international law, as a loyal friend who was always there when the Organization needed his wise counsel and dedicated services, and mostly as an exceptionally charming and warm human being who courageously stood up for justice, for human rights and for humanity.
The STL described Cassese as a pioneer of modern international criminal law, while the ICTY portrayed the human rights activist as a visionary and passionate leader [press releases]. Cassese passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Cassese has been involved in international criminal proceedings as recently as August. Cassese, as president of the STL, had a large role in the trials of four men wanted for killing former prime minister Rafik Hariri [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] in 2005. He made a public plea [press release] in August, calling for the men to turn themselves in [JURIST report]. He also guaranteed a fair trial and adequate representation and pressed Lebanese citizens to allow the STL to hold the assassins accountable. In December 2010, Cassese rejected motions [JURIST report] to disqualify Lebanese judges for bias, holding that Lebanese General Jamil El-Sayed had failed to provide enough evidence that the judges were biased such that the mixed-composition panel would be dissolved.

When you've lived your life as a criminal… When you've done unspeakable things … When your soul has become dark and stained…
The path to redemption begins where you least expect it.
Kyle Sommerville is in hiding and doesn't want to be found by anyone. Certainly not by his quirky, free-spirited neighbor who's managed to push her way past the walls he's built around him. But Jane Cresson's indomitable will and insatiable curiosity about her reclusive neighbor makes it impossible for Kyle to stay immersed in his dark world.
Little by little, she claws through his shell. Day by day, she gets him to smile a little more. Night by night, they both find pleasure they never knew existed.
When Kyle's terrible past is exposed, Jane begins to think she's in over her head. Can her love for this broken man finally clear his path to redemption, or will Kyle's darkness finally extinguish every bit of hope she's put into him?

#NewRelease FINDING KYLE by @BennettBooks is NOW available! #secondchances #redemption #mustread
Yesi's Thoughts
Finding Kyle took my heart by storm! Seriously, I loved everything about this story and about Kyle. It seems like this book came out of no where but took up space everywhere. Never in a million years did I imagine that a character with such a small but significant part in Bridger's book would get his own book. But God Bless Sawyer Bennett for giving him one and for creating this amazing story about second chances, redemption, and self-forgiveness.
Kyle Sommerville has gone into hiding, well witness protection, and he is in the tiny coastal town of Misty Harbor. Where you blink and you've passed it. He is dealing with not only isolation but with self-loathe for the things that he did while being undercover. He is in Misty Harbor for one thing, to bide his time until the high profile trial that will bring down many. He doesn't interact with anyone and he is definitely not friendly to anyone. So when we meet Jane and she is totally ogling her HOT, tattooed neighbor, I just knew this was going to be so wickedly good. Her airy, fun personality was evident within the first few pages and throw in her equally fun bff and I just couldn't wait for her and Kyle to meet. While she did make the first attempt to introduce herself, nothing came back on this end. With encouragement from her best friend, Jane decides to get to know her neighbor and despite his back-the-hell off vibe, she slowly starts to bring him out of "hiding" so to speak.
From the awkward moments, to the sweet, heartfelt moments, Finding Kyle turned out to be such a good read. I loved how Jane never gave up on him, and I loved how Kyle started finding his path towards redemption even though he fought it with tooth and nail. This book was sexy and hot yet angsty and sad. I enjoyed my time spent in Misty Harbor with Kyle and Jane more than I ever imagined. I cannot recommend this book enough and as with all of Sawyer Bennett's book, I fell hard for our broken hero. Pick up your copy today and be prepared to immerse your self in a beautiful story.

Real estate is a huge market, so it's no wonder that it's a hotbed of activity and innovation for data publishers. It all started with the Realtor.com site operated by what is now Move Inc. in a venture with the National Association of Realtors.
With nearly 1 million listings updated virtually in real-time, a good user interface, non-gratuitous use of maps and video, useful calculators and other tools, multiple revenue streams, there was a wealth of useful information there, well organized and easily accessible. We gave it our Model of Excellence award in 2004.
Two years later, Zillow burst on the scene. It was a sure-fire combination of clever data aggregation coupled with the guilty pleasure of being able to get a sense of the value of your home (or your neighbors or friends) with just a few clicks. Zillow became an overnight phenomenon, and with an aggressive schedule of new features being rolled out, seemed to be barring the doors to competition. We gave Zillow a Model of Excellence award in 2006.
I was surprised then that, with these two tours de force, Trulia.com burst on the scene quickly thereafter, taking elements from both Realtor.com and Zillow and combining both sale listings and property valuation data in one place. The user interface tries to help users visualize listings by representing them as flags on an area map, a refreshing concept in many ways, but one that gets annoying when lots of properties are for sale in one area and the flags start overlapping each other.
Have we seen it all in real estate? Apparently not. Now HotPads.com has launched. Call it a Trulia for home and apartment rentals. It relies even more heavily on maps for its user interface, and has out-done Trulia with even more extensive neighborhood reference information.
Does HotPads.com now represent the state of the art in real estate data offerings? Ironically not, and therein lies a lesson. The clear trend in real estate (as in other markets) is to load in more content, add more features, give away more for free, and outdo the competition with Web 2.0 cleverness. HotPads wants you to navigate visually through a map that is so dynamic and flexible it is beyond frustrating. HotPads displays buckets of data on every city, obscuring the listings that are its ostensible reason for being. Indeed, only after you realize that the little building icons on the maps represent rental information can you even get close to apartment listings, and even then, you never actually get a list. Apparently you are expected to click on building icons one at a time for detail data. In short, it's a mess that didn't need to be a mess.
The lesson: Successful data publishing means quick, easy access to accurate and relevant information. Deep data is good, but larding up your database with marginally useful content (and then presenting it first) doesn't help the mission. Nor do snappy Web 2.0 interfaces that offer more confusion than clarity. In short, HotPads could do a lot more for its users by doing a lot less. Cool is not a business model.

I recently had the opportunity to visit two significant pieces of architecture separated by more than 90 years of architectural development. The first being the re-opening of the Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright in East Hollywood and the other being the Broad Museum by Diller Scofidio + Renfro located in Downtown Los Angeles.
At their core, the buildings are surprisingly similar. Both are or were intended to house artwork and create a larger cultural impact than the respective structures themselves. Both use their materiality to create a shield to mask the intentions of the interior. In both cases, this is done with concrete which gives both structures a massive somewhat uninviting feeling as one approaches. You get a sense as you approach each project that something is happening inside but you can't tell exactly what it is. If you are the inquisitive type, it then becomes your goal to find out exactly what that is and explore as much as you can - which of course is much more acceptable in the case of an art gallery or a museum compared to a private residence.
Wright has used this tactic of confusing the spectator in many of his projects to protect the privacy of the buildings inhabitants. The idea being that the harder the building is to read from the exterior, the harder it is to understand the goings on happening on the interior. If you think of the art on display as being as temperamental as an individual seeking privacy, it seems to make sense in both cases to mask the activities inside. Both do use little moments to give a small glimpse into the interiors which of course can only be viewed from certain angles or location. Both designs are very clever in this way in that the Hollyhock uses this to hide the private life of the residence and shield them from the world whereas the Broad uses it to tease the spectator into coming inside and experiencing what the gallery has to offer.
Even the location of the buildings adds to this notion of hiding themselves. Albeit in somewhat different circumstances. The Hollyhock nestles itself on a hill in Hollywood surrounded by nature whereas the Broad perches itself on a hill in the heart of downtown and surrounds itself with design somewhat becoming lost within the forest of new architecture that is finding its way to the new downtown.
When one enters both of the spaces, the similarities begin to fall away quite rapidly. The language of the 2 buildings is vastly different. The Hollyhock can be considered a complete piece of design. Each detail, fixture, piece of furniture has been carefully planned and laid out to achieve an overall harmony and atmosphere throughout the house. The Broad uses the modern take on detail and attempts to fade them together to create a larger whole rather than letting them speak for themselves in a larger narrative. In doing so there seems to be a disconnect in some places and the reading of the building becomes a bit jagged. Now granted this is not the intention of the Broad. Being a museum and a gallery space, the goal is for the building as to not distract from the more "interesting" works on display. It appears the space with achieve this goal quite well. The entire space was lit using natural light with absolutely no shadows cast. The engineering and design of the lighting within the space was incredible. It is a shame however, that the space will not remain in its open state but rather be filled with partitions to divide the space. One little nod that was similar within the interiors was the use of narrow low spaces to open into a vast large space. This is of course a trademark of Frank Lloyd Wright to use a low narrow corridor to open into the vast living spaces with the residence. It was a nice little to detail to see within the Broad in that to enter the gallery space you have the option of traveling on the narrow escalator in a low corridor and arrive in the vast open gallery space. Just nice to know that some tricks will never grow old.
Overall, it was extremely interesting to visit both of these sites within a matter of days. It is one of the things that amazes me about architecture. Here we have two seemingly different projects that on their own have a character and a presence yet are also part of a greater whole that makes up the extremely diverse nature of the city. It helps to highlight the growth of larger metropolitan area that must occur naturally, in terms of architecture and design, to create a greater harmony within a city as large as Los Angeles.

3 Day Portrait Workshop
Workshop Dates: 3/19/2018 - 3/21/2018 (offered each month, with dates TBA) 10am-4pm
Location: Studio Channel Islands Art Center, Studio C-1
2222 Ventura Blvd., Camarillo (Old Town), California 93010
(easiest to park one block north on Elm Drive, Studio C-1 is in the purple building)
In this workshop I share my technique of portrait painting in pastel on sanded paper which includes underpainting in watercolor and ink. The focus will be on seeing and painting correct proportions, values and edges. You will learn how to create vibrant skin tones with color temperature changes and layering. We will talk about the most common mistakes (such as hair and teeth for example) and how to avoid them.
Since the class size is small you will receive lots of one-on-one attention at your easel. You will leave the workshop knowing how to see the correct values, check angles and pay attention to lost and found edges in order to achieve a great likeness.
Each day I will demo the next step before you will work at your easel.
Day 1: transferring the drawing to the sanded paper followed by the ink and watercolor underpainting
Day 2: applying first layers of pastel followed by minimal blending to create rich vibrant skin tones
Day 3: finishing up with the icing on the cake, the fine details that bring your subject to life
To register and receive a supply list please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This class is best for students with at least some experience drawing portraits AND/OR working with pastel.

Top 10 police Guinness World Records
From the tiniest K-9 to the fastest cruiser in service, here are some law enforcement moments that broke world records
By PoliceOne Staff
The 2013 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records is set to be released, which got us wondering about record-breaking law enforcers. Here is a collection of 10 Guinness World Records related to police.
Smallest working dog
The smallest rescue dog is Momo, a 7-year-old Chihuahua who weighs just 6.6 lb. She competed against golden retrievers and German shepherds to win a place on a Japanese police force to enter spaces larger dogs cannot.
Longest police standoff with a videogame controller
In 2009, a man in Brazil's Distrito Federal carried out a 10-hour stand-off with local police, holding a 60-year-old woman hostage with a SEGA Light Phaser, a light gun used to play various shooting video games. The incident ended with no harm to the woman.
Largest curve in a sword swallowed
Dai Andrews swallowed a sword curved at 120 degrees during Blue Thunder, a festival put on by Baltimore City Police in 2009 to raise money for officers in need. The blade was measured on site at the Pimlico Racetrack in Maryland, and before the event via computer.
Longest career as a police officer
Detective Lieutenant Andrew F. Anewenter worked continuously as a Milwaukee police officer for 61 years, from 1942 until his retirement in May 2003. He died in August 2003.
Greatest distance between same offense, arresting officer and offender
In 2010, a British man received a ticket for speeding from Police Constable Andy Flitton in South Island, New Zealand. The offender recognized the constable as the same officer who had given him a ticket for speeding north of London two years previously. Both had emigrated to New Zealand.
First female TV cop star
Decoy, a US series syndicated in 1957–58, starred Beverly Garland as undercover police officer Patricia "Casey" Jones.
Longest-serving chief of police
Thomas E. Hawley of Howard, Wis., served as Green Bay Police Chief from August 1897 to June 1946, a total of 49 years. He started at the department in 1893 as a Patrolman and was made captain in 1895 and chief in 1897. He died in 1951.
Fastest police car in service
The fastest patrol car in service is the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which has a top speed of 230 mph. Thirty Italian police officers will be permitted to drive the car after completing special training.
First captured narco-submarine
Semi-submersible "narco subs", which float at or marginally below the surface of the sea, have been used by drug smugglers for about 17 years. In July 2010, Ecuadorian police seized a 31-metre diesel electric "narco sub" before its maiden voyage, in a mangrove swamp just south of the Columbian border.
Most fatal incidents in one day survived by a dog
A mixed-breed dog named Dosha escaped from a home in Clearlake, Calif., in 2003 and was struck by a car. A police officer shot the dog, wanting to put her out of her pain, and she was sealed in a bag and placed in the freezer at an animal center. Two hours later, staff discovered her alive and sitting upright

"We came to you confused and dazed, after hearing horrible ideas in regards to our 2yr old son who didn't speak and his development. You gave us the knowledge and strength to make the choice we were pondering with- which turned out to be one of the best choices we ever made- he just had troubles hearing due to glue ear.

Buy, Borrow, Bypass: Hot For Teacher
This is not a topic I naturally gravitate to, but I still end up reading a lot of books about, shall we say, inappropriate teacher/student relationships. Generally, I find them problematic for all the usual reasons, but also because the points-of-view never seem to be as complex as I'd like them to be. It's either LOOK HOW WRONG or OMG SO HOT with very little in between, at least in the ones I've read.
Tampa by Alissa Nutting
Look. How. Wrong. For real, just the wrong-est sort of wrong. Fascinating because the teacher is a woman who is sexually attracted to young boys (and if there's ever a movie version of this that doesn't star Jennifer Lawrence as Celeste, well, I don't even know anymore.) Cringe-inducing because the details are so explicit. To use blurb-speak, it's unflinching. At points, I thought, "Well, maybe she could've flinched a little bit." Ultimately, I'm glad she didn't because all kinds of women need to be represented in fiction, even the sociopaths, and we need to talk about female perpetrators and male victims very differently than we do. Includes classroom encounters.
Verdict: Borrow if you're not sure you can stomach it. Buy, especially for that cover, if you can.
Unteachable by Leah Raeder
This one is (or tries to be) from the OMG SO HOT side of the issue, but it doesn't quite convince me. I mean, yeah, there's lots of sex. Lots of it. Maise is a senior, and may even actually be eighteen (I think she is?), so it has less of an inherent grossness than Tampa. Also, she meets the guy over the summer, before she knows he's going to be her teacher, which creates the conflict, I guess: how will they continue seeing each other naked now that they know? Still, there's never really any question about how it's all going to turn out, even with some Obvious Obstacles thrown in to make you wonder. (You don't really wonder.) Includes classroom encounters.
Verdict: Borrow, unless what I just told you made you want to Bypass.
The Wood of Suicides by Laura Elizabeth Woollett
The narrative here is deeply rooted in the protag's daddy issues. Laurel's father was a professor. When she goes away to a new school, her middle-aged English teacher (so often it's the English teacher, with those poetic souls and brooding eyes or whatever) reminds her of her dead dad, so she falls in insta-love with him. This story is a little more complex because we see how troubled she is and we witness her knowing pursuit: this is wrong, but I want it anyway, and I will have it. And she does, and it gets weird and gross and hard to read (their classroom encounters, the loving way she describes his body hair, the fact that he's My Current Age older than she is). The only reason I kept reading this book is because it reminded me so much of The Moth Diaries. I'm not even sure why, exactly; something in its quiet disturbing-ness and overall mood, I guess.
Verdict: Borrow.
Side note: If I ever write one of these books, I vow here and now that there will be no classroom encounters because they are cliché and grody.

That question is always asked to me. or why you like KPOP?
For me, now KPOP is a sweet escape when I feel bored. But i don't just listen to any KPOP songs, in my playlist, INFINITE taken 25 songs in 100-song playlist, in 25 most played songs in my iTunes, INFINITE songs took the top spot.
But which group happened to come to my liking before INFINITE? The always be the king of KPOP DB5K (as 5 members), Super Junior (the gagmen of Kpop), and BIGBANG (always swag). But before all of them, I like BoA and H.O.T first. Oh. I'm so old. 😦
So why i like INFINITE?
They have a leader that always getting bullied, or leader who bullied his younger members, or leader that goes solo…
No. I like their music, since their debut era until today. I like their dance; powerful, synchronised, and simply awesome. *okay biased detected*
No. I don't know what I like this group. It just clicked. done.
They are the only group that make me want to queue overnight just to get the front spot, and cry during their encore just because I was afraid I can't meet them anymore. AND That's make KoreanUpdates so biased towards INFINITE. Sorry. I just want them to get more recognition.
This year, they are making another world tour, so hopefully, I can get over it (but I don't think so). I will fly to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong for their concert (either one or two of these city plus Jakarta)
Money, come to me please.

Hiding in Plain Sight
curated by Justine Ludwig
Works by Carlos Amorales, Faiza Butt, Parastou Forouhar, Tsang Kin-Wah, and K. Yoland
October 13- November 14, 2016
Continuing Sapar Contemporary's commitment to international artistic voices, the gallery is excited to announce the opening of its first group show, Hiding in Plain Sight. The exhibition, curated by Dallas Contemporary Director of Exhibitions/Senior Curator Justine Ludwig, draws inspiration from the technique of camouflage, used by animals to escape perception. In nature, detailed markings enable animals to appear as either predators or alternatively blend into their surroundings. This technique has been adapted to military contexts and is synonymous with martial fashions. Camouflage has become a loaded symbol. In the exhibition Hiding in Plain Sight, five artists use the technique of camouflage to obscure a message. They co-opt diverse languages in order to share subversive information. Content is hidden in the banal, exploring how deeper investment can lead to greater understanding. Featuring the work of five international artists who each take a different approach to this subject matter—Carlos Amorales (Mexico), Faiza Butt (Pakistan), Parastou Forouhar (Iran), Tsang Kin-Wah (Hong Kong), and K. Yoland (UK), Hiding in Plain Sight asks the view to take a second look at their quotidian surroundings.
Hiding in Plain Sight, an essay by Justine Ludwig
Carlos Amorales (b. 1970 Mexico City, Mexico) has penned fictitious news stories that he was able to have printed in a popular Mexican newspaper. Adopting the publication's style of writing and structure, the artist and his team have managed to get seven spurious articles published. These articles range from a creative retelling of a popular novel to claims of Amorales's ability to be in two locations at once.
Faiza Butt (b. 1973 Lahore, Pakistan, based in London, United Kingdom) superimposes animalistic camouflage patterns on the faces of men. These individuals—two from her trendy neighborhood in London and one from Afghanistan—have ambiguous origin leading to question of prejudice and identity. Each image is rendered in Butt's signature style, inspired by the Mughal miniaturist practice and reminiscent of pointillism
Parastou Forouhar (b. 1962 Tehran, Iran, based in Frankfurt, Germany) uses elaborating patterning to hide violent acts. In these works, the activist/artist responds to the social and political situation in her home country of Iran. Figures are anonymous, interlocking, and, at times, bound.
Tsang Kin-Wah (b. 1976 Santou, China, based in Hong Kong) merges text with decorative William-Morris-inspired designs—obscuring messages hidden therein. Vulgarities prevalent on the Internet are interlaced with mundane descriptors in both English and Chinese to make elaborate patterns. The work appears as if chat room banter has reorganized itself into lush floral designs.
K. Yoland (B. 1980 London, United Kingdom, based between Dallas, Texas and London, United Kingdom) addresses the rapid gentrification of the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle, London. In her photographic series, Invisible Angels, young men are attired in cling film and shopping bags, effectively merging with their surroundings at times, while appearing as a gang at others.

Pokhara, Nepal, June 2016. Three good reasons to visit Pokhara in the rainy season:
First, the dwindling number of Western tourists from the start of June means prices are a little bit cheaper, especially accommodation wise. Food and drink too are a little cheaper with extended happy hours and special offers.
Secondly, a little less pollution and a lot less dust. As the air gets mixed up after a rainy spell so vehicle pollution gets dissipated more than in the dry season, and of course a damp ground keeps those levels of dust at bay – mind you, the locals still choke and spit as much as ever!
Thirdly, everywhere is a display of lush green vegetation, particularity in the parklands alongside the lake front. Prior to June, the place is a dust bowl, parched earth and scorched grasslands. With the rains approaching a marked regeneration of plant life and nature in general can provide nature spotters with an array of interesting subjects to photograph.
So, as the rainy season gets underway, here are a selection of nature photos: A god time for birds especially those that like to scratch around in the mud. As the lake fills so the locals get busy fishing. Reptiles of course just love the warm rains and they wake up and forage for food, especially snakes!
I suppose this snake is going to eat that lizard!

The Question
The water is smooth and dark, still, like glass.
Looking down I watch as tumbling clouds pass.
Yet the sky is above me, it's a reflection I know,
as when in a mirror I look, my face it does show.
At times I think "I exist" "right now,this is me"
and I know we don't understand what is reality.
For all science can tell me isn't worth a damn
irrelevant and trite until it tells me what I am..

lamb shawarma revisited
having used most of my roast lamb leftovers to make pilaf the final pieces of meat were used to make shawarma. normally i'd have served this in pitta breads but i had an abundance of corn tortillas spilling out of my cupboard so decided to use these instead. absolutely delicious and worth a try if you haven't had shawarma before.

KOCHI: After a delay of more than two years, the state government has decided to revive the four-lane road project connecting Seaport-Airport Road in Kakkanad with National Highway 47 at Vennala.
A high-level meeting held at the headquarters of Roads and Bridges Development Corporation of Kerala (RBDCK) in Kochi on Tuesday decided to redesign the Rs 412-crore project by ensuring hassle-free land acquisition.
As per the decision, more land will be acquired in the Thrikkakara area than what's required for the project for rehabilitating displaced families.
"It will be a difficult task to acquire land in the city area. We are planning to offer owners on the Vennala side alternative land in Thrikkakara where we plan to acquire surplus land. This will be over and above the land required for the proposed four-lane highway," said A P M Mohamed Hanish, managing director, RBDCK.
The meeting also decided to seek permission from the state government to purchase land directly from owners, bypassing the land acquisition route.
"We will approach the government for administrative sanction of the project. Once we receive it, we will start work on the Seaport-Arkkakadavu stretch where land acquisition is comparatively easy," Hanish said.
RBDCK first proposed the project in 2013. Later, state government consultancy Kitco prepared a detailed project report (DPR) with an estimated cost of Rs 412 crore.
Of the Rs 412 crore, Rs 270 crore was meant for acquiring land and rehabilitating landowners. According to the DPR prepared by Kitco, the road and three bridges, which would form a part of it, could be completed at Rs 142 crore.
The width of the 4.6km-long road was put at 45 metres. Around 40 acres had to be acquired for the project, with 30 acres in Thrikkakara municipality. There were only 50 houses in this 30 acres and the rest was vacant land.
There were around 70 houses in the remaining 10 acres located in Kochi corporation limits. If the owners accept the new proposal for providing alternative land, it would reduce the project cost considerably.
In 2013, the public works department (PWD) had proposed three four-lane roads to ensure connectivity between the SmartCity site in Kakkanad and other parts of the district.
Of this, the PWD had started work on the Kakkanad-Karimugal four-lane highway a few months ago. The second four-lane road, connecting Kakkanad and Perumbavoor, still remains on paper. The Seaport-Airport four-lane highway was the third proposed road project.

In theory, it ought to be substantial, since people do move around.

Wouldn't that be something? Will it happen? Highly unlikely. Could that be one of Elections Canada's remedies? You bet.
On CBC's Sunday with hosts Carole MacNeil and Evan Soloman, Pierre the stretcher of the truth Poilievre appeared on the political panel. Naturally, he lied through his teeth through the entire interview spreading incorrect information to viewers like I spread manure on my garden yesterday - thick and everywhere.
After Pepe le Pierre was finished, a panel was brought on featuring Heather MacIsaac, a PoliSci prof, John Geddes of Macleans and Gloria Galloway of the Globe. Not to underscore the seriousness of the allegations leveled against the Conservative Party of Canada, MacIsaac explains to the hosts and the others on the panel that one of the remedies or penalties that may be thrown at the CPoC is "decertification".
What would that mean? It means, should the party be decertified, all of their elected MPs would have to find a new name to call themselves. In addition, each of the 67 individual ridings involved could face decertification without the Party being deceritfied.
Doesn't that sound pretty serious to you Mr. and Mrs. Canada? I guess Petit Pierre missed that in the talking points.
