All Local School Zones Enforced
"Although some schools finish earlier than the official gazetted NSW Education Departments end of term date, the 40km/h school zones are still enforced," said Stuart Ayres.
"Private schools may end earlier in December however drivers are reminded to remain vigilant and obey the school zone signs,"
"This year all school zones are enforced until and including Friday 20 December and back to school zones come into effect on Tuesday 28 January 2020."
Most school zones in NSW operate from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm, but a small number operate at different times. School zones with different operating times have different coloured signage and operating hours clearly displayed.
"School children are some of the most vulnerable people on the road and 40km/h school zones are an important way to keep them safe as they make their way to and from school," Stuart Ayres said.
View school dates here. School speed zones apply on all school days including school development days.

Linnaean taxonomy can mean either of two related concepts:
Linnaean name also has two meanings: depending on the context, it may either refer to a formal name given by Linnaeus (personally), such as Giraffa camelopardalis Linnaeus, 1758, or a formal name in the accepted nomenclature (as opposed to a modernistic clade name).
In his Imperium Naturae, Linnaeus established three kingdoms, namely Regnum Animale, Regnum Vegetabile and Regnum Lapideum. This approach, the Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Kingdoms, survives today in the popular mind, notably in the form of the parlour game question: "Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?". The work of Linnaeus had a huge impact on science; it was indispensable as a foundation for biological nomenclature, now regulated by the nomenclature codes. Two of his works, the first edition of the Species Plantarum (1753) for plants and the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae (1758), are accepted as part of the starting points of nomenclature; his binomials (names for species) and generic names take priority over those of others. However, the impact he had on science was not because of the value of his taxonomy.
His classes and orders of plants, according to his Systema Sexuale, were never intended to represent natural groups (as opposed to his ordines naturales in his Philosophia Botanica) but only for use in identification. They were used for that purpose well into the nineteenth century.[1] Within each class were several orders.
The Linnaean classes for plants, in the Sexual System, were:
Only in the Animal Kingdom is the higher taxonomy of Linnaeus still more or less recognizable and some of these names are still in use, but usually not quite for the same groups as used by Linnaeus. He divided the Animal Kingdom into six classes, in the tenth edition, of 1758, these were:
His taxonomy of minerals has long since dropped from use. In the tenth edition, 1758, of the Systema Naturae, the Linnaean classes were:
This rank-based method of classifying living organisms was originally popularized by (and much later named for) Linnaeus, although it has changed considerably since his time. The greatest innovation of Linnaeus, and still the most important aspect of this system, is the general use of human species is uniquely identified within the animal kingdom by the name Homo sapiens. No other species of animal can have this same binomen (the technical term for a binomial in the case of animals). Prior to Linnaean taxonomy, animals were classified according to their mode of movement.
Linnaeus's use of binomial nomenclature was anticipated by the theory of definition used in Scholasticism. Scholastic logicians and philosophers of nature defined the species man, for example, as Animal rationalis, where animal was considered a genus and rationalis (Latin for "rational") the characteristic distinguishing man from all other animals. Treating animal as the immediate genus of the species man, horse, etc. is of little practical use to the biological taxonomist, however. Accordingly, Linnaeus's classification treats animal as a class including many genera (subordinated to the animal "kingdom" via intermediary classes such as "orders"), and treats homo as the genus of a species Homo sapiens, with sapiens (Latin for "knowing" or "understanding") playing a differentiating role analogous to that played, in the Scholastic system, by rationalis (the word homo, Latin for "human being", was used by the Scholastics to denote a species, not a genus).
A strength of Linnaean taxonomy is that it can be used to organize the different kinds of living systematists (biologists specializing in taxonomy), not merely of the binomial names themselves, but of the rules governing the use of these names, which are laid down in formal nomenclature codes.
Species can be placed in a ranked hierarchy, starting with either domains or kingdoms. Domains are divided into kingdoms. Kingdoms are divided into phyla (singular: phylum) — for animals; the term division, used for plants and fungi, is equivalent to the rank of phylum (and the current International Code of Botanical Nomenclature allows the use of either term). Phyla (or divisions) are divided into classes, and they, in turn, into orders, families, genera (singular: genus), and species (singular: species). There are ranks below species: in zoology, subspecies (but see form or morph); in botany, variety (varietas) and form (forma), etc.
Groups of organisms at any of these ranks are called taxa (singular: taxon) or taxonomic groups.
The Linnaean system has proven robust and it remains the only extant working classification system at present that enjoys universal scientific acceptance. However, although the number of ranks is unlimited, in practice any classification becomes more cumbersome the more ranks are added. Among the later subdivisions that have arisen are such entities as phyla, families, and tribes, as well as any number of ranks with prefixes (superfamilies, subfamilies, etc.). The use of newer taxonomic tools such as cladistics and phylogenetic nomenclature has led to a different way of looking at evolution (expressed in many nested clades) and this sometimes leads to a desire for more ranks. An example of such complexity is the scheme for mammals proposed by McKenna and Bell.
Over time, the understanding of the relationships between living things has changed. Linnaeus could only base his scheme on the structural similarities of the different organisms. The greatest change was the widespread acceptance of evolutionary taxonomy, where the various extant and extinct are linked together to construct a phylogeny. This is largely what is meant by the term 'Linnaean taxonomy' when used in a modern context.
In cladistics, originating in the work of Willi Hennig, 1950 onwards, each taxon is grouped so as to include the common ancestor of the group's members (and thus to avoid polyphyly). Such taxa may be either monophyletic (including all descendants) such as genus Homo, or paraphyletic (excluding some descendants), such as genus Australopithecus.
Originally, Linnaeus established three kingdoms in his scheme, namely for [2]
Representing presumptive evolutionary relationships, especially given the wide acceptance of cladistic methodology and numerous molecular phylogenies that have challenged long-accepted classifications, within the framework of Linnaean taxonomy, is sometimes seen as problematic. Therefore, some systematists have proposed a PhyloCode to replace it.

Although a high-carbohydrate diet typically shows low-fat intake, the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities in Asian countries has increased. We evaluated three types of a high-carbohydrate diet and its association with cardiometabolic risk factors in the Korean adult population.
A total of 14,438 adults (5813 men and 8625 women) who participated in the 2008–2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were selected. Dietary data were obtained by a single 24-h recall method. High-carbohydrate diets were defined using three carbohydrate variables, including total carbohydrate intake, proportion of energy from carbohydrate, and white rice consumption as dietary exposures. Cardiometabolic risk factors included obesity, abdominal obesity, hypercholesterolemia, atherogenic dyslipidemia, impaired fasting glucose, and elevated blood pressure. A multivariate-adjusted logistic regression was performed to examine the associations between high-carbohydrate diets and cardiometabolic risk factors by sex.
Three types of high-carbohydrate diets showed different energy intakes and food group consumption when individuals in the highest quintile of each type were compared. In men, intakes of total carbohydrate and white rice were inversely associated with obesity, impaired fasting glucose, and elevated blood pressure and proportion of energy from carbohydrate and white rice consumption were inversely related to hypercholesterolemia. In women, a high consumption of white rice was positively associated with impaired fasting glucose. All three types of high-carbohydrate diets were positively associated with the prevalence of atherogenic dyslipidemia in both sexes.
Three types of high-carbohydrate diets show different associations with cardiometabolic risk factors except for unfavorable effects on atherogenic dyslipidemia.

GASB finalizes Libor transition guidance
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has finalized new guidance on transitioning away from Libor and will release on April 16 a list of delays to various other guidances because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The April 16 announcement will be in the form of an exposure draft for the purpose of postponing a variety of dates for GASB actions in various stages of development.
But GASB said it is moving ahead with releasing its final guidance on public-private partnerships on Tuesday.
The finalized guidance on moving away from Libor released Thursday, known as Statement 93, had been expected. It applies to reporting periods beginning after June 15.
The guidance provides accounting and financial reporting rules to help state and local governments in the transition away from existing interbank offered rates to other reference rates.
"This is the relief that we were hoping to provide but given what's going on, they are going to continue to monitor the situation and if additional steps are needed, they will look at that for sure," GASB spokesman Kip Betz said.
Governmental issuers still do not have templates or protocols for documents that would comply with the new reference rates. Those protocols are expected to be issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
The Treasury and Internal Revenue Service have not yet finalized their proposed regulations released in October to help taxpayers avoid adverse tax consequences from changing the terms of debt, derivatives, and other financial contracts to alternative reference rates from interbank offered rates such as Libor.
The Treasury-IRS proposed transition regulation addresses the possibility that such a modification of a debt instrument, derivative, or other financial contract could be a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes or could result in other tax consequences.
Both the Treasury proposal and GASB guidance include all other IBORs offered in other countries, including Switzerland, Japan and the European Union.
The new GASB guidance notes that some governments have entered into agreements in which variable payments made or received depend on an interbank offered rate (IBOR), including the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), which is being phased out by the end of 2021.
The new GASB statement provides exceptions for certain hedging derivative instruments to the hedge accounting termination provisions when an IBOR is replaced as the reference rate of the hedging derivative instrument's variable payment.
It also clarifies the hedge accounting termination provisions when a hedged item is amended to replace the reference rate.
It clarifies that any uncertainty related to the continued availability of IBORs does not, by itself, affect the assessment of whether the occurrence of a hedged expected transaction is probable.
It removes Libor as an appropriate benchmark interest rate for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap.
It identifies the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the effective Federal Funds Rate as appropriate benchmark interest rates for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap.
It clarifies the definition of reference rate, as it is used in Statement 53, as amended.
It also provides an exception to the lease modifications guidance in Statement 87, as previously amended, for certain lease contracts that are amended solely to replace an IBOR as the rate upon which variable payments depend.

Are you presently incapable to access to Outlook profile? If so then you might be thinking which way to go? In the event if you don't know the way!! Then you face a problem of losing all your valuable information from Outlook enduringly. In such state you desire significant third party software to pop round such conditions. Here is Microsoft Outlook repair software to repair Outlook corruption and it can save total data in easy steps. There are numerous reasons behind Outlook data loss, so it's essential to identify them first. Later you will make out how this Outlook repair program facilitates you to repair Outlook issues.
Outlook corruption reasons are listed below:
Saving PST file over network: If the PST file is shaved over unsecured server then there is a possibility of PST file corruption. Once the PST file is damaged then the Outlook profile might be inaccessible and you could mislay essential data from it.
Harmful factors: Some external harmful factors like risky virus or spyware assaults to the PST file then it may be damaged and the Outlook turn out to be inaccessible.
Outlook upgradation: If you are previous Outlook version then could think to upgrade to recent versions of Outlook like Outlook 2007 and 2010. While upgrading if unforeseen power stoppage occurs then PST file could get corrupted and then results in loss of Outlook items.
Improper system termination: When your system gets turned off without exiting Outlook profile then the Outlook PST file might get corrupted and results in data loss.
Oversized PST file: Previous versions of Outlook have their PST file size limit up to 2 GB. When PST file size exceeds 2GB PST file size limit due to continuous accretion of data then PST file might get tarnished.
Whenever the Outlook PST file gets corrupted then there is a possibility of missing all its data. In such situations you have to install this Outlook file repair app to repair MS Outlook data. This app can repair the PST file by profound scan and then regains Outlook attributers like emails, tasks, calendar items, notes, contacts etc. Using this sophisticated program you are accomplished to repair the PST file header. It primarily scans and then repairs later extract all the information from it. The retrieved data is stored in recently produced PST file data. It can get back PST file which are formed on unlike Outlook versions that is Outlook 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010. It can repair the OST files also.
By making use of this software you can password protected and encrypted PST file data on all Windows OS based computers. Once the install this tool to mend the Outlook issues, you might seek out PST file if you do not recognize the position of PST file precisely. Download the demo edition and then install it on better drive and then run it, once the scan process is over then you preview the fixed file.

" Connecting deeply, sharing and listening, laughing together – these are all things we as humans need and crave. It is what is missing in our lives. It is why people feel so alone and isolated."
There is some feedback I wanted to share with you … and leave you to see if this is something for you <3
Here is what some of them said …
"I felt safe and supported, as though I was catching up with friends. The environment was soothing, and a place to share our authentic self."
"I felt cozy, safe, relaxed. I felt supported and cared for as opposed to judged. I felt I was in the right environment to open up and share my vulnerabilities with other women that would listen to me in a loving and non-judgmental way. I also felt the connection and empathy to create the space so these other women could open up and share as well. So in short, I felt pretty awesome!"
"I felt like it was a safe environment for me to share things that can be difficult to share. I didn't feel judged, I felt empowered. I felt loved (I really appreciate the sending of the love a the end of the share vs responses)."

So, the players had requested a chance to do something outside of the main dungeon. I fully support this: a change of scenery, a change of pace, and a chance to try out some situations that wouldn't come up in the main quest. So with a quick refresher on the background, they departed Roslof and made their way to the Lich's Library. This is something that we came up with early in the campaign, like so:
"Favorite bit of semi-OOC interaction: Firstborn remarked that they had to be the weirdest adventuring party in the Keep. They're not, though they're definitely off in the right direction for that. But that gave me the chance to tell them about The Librarian. The Librarian is a Lich who lives in a small complex in the forest, about eight miles outside of the town. He pursued magical knowledge and power and eventually attained undead immortality so that he could finally finishing reading and writing all the books that he wanted to read and write. With the right letters of introduction, his library is a god-send to anyone doing research. He is the sort of librarian who keeps his library quiet and calm, and in fact he can enforce magical silence through the entire complex. The players were absolutely charmed to know that this place existed, and at some point they're almost certainly going to have to pay it a visit."
Later in the campaign, the Mousefolk Cleric and the Dragonborn Sorcerer had a letter sent to the Lich, asking permission to visit and do research on some sort of guard-dragons; the Sorcerer received a response a few days later while out and about in the town, when he and the Halfling Rogue were attacked by a skeletal minotaur. Upon slaying the undead monstrosity, they found a note tied to the inside of its spinal column indicating that the lich found their request acceptable. (Some of you may be wondering if I lifted this method of epistolary from the Elder Scrolls games; the answer is absolutely yes.)
So, the group arrived at the library and was unpleasantly surprised to find another skeletal minotaur standing at the gate; but this one led them back to the library proper (the largest of the buildings in the complex) and then returned to the gate again. They stood around inside until the Lich arrived to greet them. The lich is about what you'd expect: a tall, skinny human, now withered and slightly rotted, with burning red eyes. He led them through the library, past a beholder that floated in the midst of a circle of stands, apparently reading six books at once; then past a cyclops who had stopped to remove her monocle and wipe it clean, and then into a back room where he pointed out an empty shelf. "You see my problem?"
The group confirmed that they did.
"I loaned it to a wizard," the lich explained. "Loaned it to her, and she left without returning it."
"What kind of book was it?" asked the Swashbuckler.
"A spellbook, of course."
"Wait..." said the Barbarian quietly. "That whole shelf was for just one book?"
"I can't keep it beside other books," answered the lich. "It might interfere with them."
"So you want us to get your book back," asserts the swashbuckler.
"Yes. You must retrieve it before it takes over the wizard. And if it does take over the wizard, you must kill her and then bring it back."
"This book... it doesn't have spells that open portals to the plane of elemental fire or anything, does it?" asked the Swashbuckler.
"Not that I know of. If it does, it has never mentioned them."
"Right," said the Sorcerer. "Get the book, kill the wizard if needed, and bring the book back here. Any idea where she went?"
"I asked around," said the lich, "and they were seen in the town of Graindale, a few miles west of here. I do not know where they went after that."
So the group makes a quick decision, and heads for graindale.
Graindale is a town only in the loosest possible sense of the word. It has three buildings: a blacksmith, a sort of general store, and a tavern that doubles as an inn for the few travelers who come through town. Our heroes head for the tavern.
The main room is small (about the size of my kitchen), with four small tables and a small bar at one end. Behind the bar is woman about seven feet tall, maybe three hundred pounds -- most of it in her shoulders. "Ah!" she cries. "Adventurers! Welcome to the Inn of the Dulled Axe!" Sure enough, there's a massive bardiche on the wall behind her, with a strip of thick leather covering the edge of the blade. She is, obviously enough, a full-blooded orc... but while the party is still gaping, a small half-orc comes toddling out from behind the bar.
"Ah!" Cries the Barbarian. "So cute!" He rushes over to the child, who immediately holds out his hands to be picked up. The barbarian scoops up the child, cooing and fussing over him.
"Careful," says the orc inkeeper gently. "We call him Sam. I'm Arlis." They're between meals, but they still have some stew on for anyone who wanders in, and some bread that isn't yet stale. The group decides to eat, and she hauls over a massive pot of stew and sets it on the table (which creaks dangerously) before ladling a good-sized scoop into each of their bowls. Her husband, a middle-aged human, emerges from the kitchen behind her, bearing a tray with the bread and some spoons for them to eat with. His name, it turns out, is Bildur.
They haven't seen any sentient magical spellbooks, but there was a wizardly sort -- a human woman -- among a group of adventurers who stopped in a week or so earlier. They don't normally eavesdrop on their guests, but this group got a little loud and Arlis remembers overhearing that they were bound for Stonereef and would be meeting somebody from Isonwood there.
They've heard of both these places before. Stonereef is a predominantly Dwarven town, known for its mining, smiths, and metalcrafts; there's a much of the city underground as there is on the surface. The name Stonereef has something do with a geological peculiarity of the location, but they're not sure exactly what; it's one of those bits of terminology that makes perfectly good sense to Dwarves -- of course you'd name it that -- and not much sense to anybody else. Isonwood is unusual in being a community primarily of half-elves; it does some trade in lumber (but limited, so as not to damage the forest) and has a thriving artistic community.
The group finishes their meal and heads on to Stonereef. It's an irregularly-shaped walled city on the top of a hill or low plateau, with three stone ramps leading up to three large gatehouses. The group has caught a ride on a turnip-farmer's wagon, but they're pulled aside by a Dwarven guard at the bottom of the ramp. (The horses will have an easier time on the ramp without them anyway.) Stonereef, he explains, is a town of law and order; if they had mounts, they would be responsible for any messes made by their mounts. The same for golems, familiars, and companion animals. There's to be no stealing, no killing, no brawling, and no disturbing the peace. The group assures the guard that they're extremely easy-going and heads up the ramp.
Just inside the city there's a batch of small stalls, carts, and individual sellers. The one that catches their eye is a gnome who's selling wind-up mechanical spiders. Everybody buys one, and I'm sure we'll have spider-races to make important decisions at some point. A young dwarf -- they can tell by the lack of beard -- peels himself off the wall and approaches, offering to show them around the city for the very reasonable rate of two coppers a day. There's a brief discussion of whether he means "act as a guide" or "give them a tour", and he's perfectly willing to give them a tour -- but that would cost a silver each. Instead, they engage him as a guide and ask about places to stay.
Stonereef has three inns: The Golden Bowl is the nicest, and also the most expensive, where the most successful merchants and occasional visiting nobles tend to stay; The Shattered Box in the warehouse district, which caters to itinerant workers and is the least expensive, especially for extended stays; and the Frothing Otter, which is in the trade district near the central market, and offers a respectable place for lesser traders and occasional adventurers to stay.[1]
The group decides that the Frothing Otter is their best bet, and has their guide lead them there by way of the central market.
That was it for today's adventures; I've worked up character sheets for the wizard and her party, so it'll be adventurer versus adventurer if our heroes manage to track them down next week.
[1] It's also a reference to Eve Forward's Villains By Necessity. Firstborn gave a distinct side-eye when I named it.

Honeywell Earned More Than Wall Street Expected. Here's What That Means for Its Rivals.
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Honeywell reported another solid quarter Thursday morning, increasing its forecast for 2019 earnings for the second time this year.
The industrial conglomerate (ticker: HON) reported second-quarter earnings of $2.10 a share and $9.2 billion in sales. Earnings per share beat Wall Street predictions by about 2 cents.
Full-year earnings guidance was also raised by about 2 cents per share. Management now expects to earn roughly $8.05 a share in 2019, although Wall Street believes the company can earn $8.11, meaning analysts are still a little more optimistic than management.
Growth in its aerospace business, up 11% year over year on a comparable basis, was a big driver of the second-quarter numbers. That's good news for other aerospace companies, although investors are getting used to strong trends in the industry.
The back story. Honeywell is transforming itself into a so-called software industrial company under the leadership of CEO Darius Adamczyk. In recent years, the company has shed automotive and chemical businesses and added smart-metering and warehouse-automation franchises.
Shareholders appear to approve of the overhaul. Honeywell stock has returned 28% year to date, better than 18% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
"We are making significant progress in transforming Honeywell into a premier software-industrial company, with connected software sales continuing to grow at a double-digit rate organically," said Adamczyk in the company's news release. "The Honeywell Connected Enterprise foundation is firmly in place, supported by the launch of Honeywell Forge, a comprehensive [Industrial Internet of Things] software solution."
What's new. Honeywell's aerospace, commercial building and energy business all increased their sales and expanded their margins year over year. Investors should cheer that performance.
Sales in the other segment—Safety and Productivity Solutions, which includes much of Honeywell's automation technology businesses—fell about 4% in the second quarter. Shares of other automation-technology providers, such as Zebra Technologies (ZBRA), could react to the decline.
Looking ahead. Even though sales in one segment declined, Barron's thinks the overall earnings report looks solid. The only real complaint investors may have with Honeywell is about its valuation. Shares trade for about 20 times estimated earnings for next year, a premium to other industrial companies in the S&P 500.
On a conference call with investors, Honeywell remained upbeat about the outlook for aerospace, but didn't offer any news about Boeing's (BA) grounded 737 MAX jet. "Regarding the Boeing 737 MAX situation, we remain aligned to Boeing's stated production schedule, and we'll continue to monitor the situation closely," CFO Gregory Lewis said. "But as we stated previously, we do not anticipate a significant impact to Honeywell's operational results in 2019."
Some 3% of Honeywell's sales are to Boeing.
Honeywell stock rose 1.8% in Thursday afternoon trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.4%.

Kevin Hart's road to recovery is going just as expected.
The 40-year-old comedian was reportedly released from a California hospital Wednesday, exactly 10 days after he was involved in a serious car crash. Sources tell TMZ that Hart is now undergoing intensive physical therapy at an undisclosed live-in rehab facility, where he will likely remain for about one week. Insiders say his team is aiming to get the comedian home as soon as possible so he can begin outpatient care.
Sources say Hart is "glad" to be out of the hospital and has maintained a positive outlook, reportedly stating: "I'm just grateful to be alive."
Hart was hospitalized over Labor Day weekend, after his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda crashed off Mulholland Highway in Malibu. The vehicle was being driven by a man identified as Jared Black, while Hart and a woman named Rebecca Broxterman sat in the passenger seats.
It was later reported that Hart had to have surgery to treat three spinal fractures he sustained in the crash.
"Kevin's spinal injuries are very serious, he sustained several fractures and had no choice but to have surgery as soon as possible," a source told ET Online. "Since the surgery he has been heavily sedated. The physicians are doing everything they can to keep him out of pain."
We'll keep you posted as more details about Hart's recovery become available.

Policies regarding the coronavirus are changing rapidly and schools are uncertain about whether it will be safe to open for in-person learning this fall. We've heard from many child care providers that children expected to transition to kindergarten will be remaining in child care. While our Fireflies® curriculum tackles and reinforces many skills and concepts essential to kindergarten, we felt it important to offer you resources that will support you in extending our curriculum to meet the needs of and challenge the kindergarten children in your care.

We're Celebrating 25 Years!
Twenty-five years ago, Beth Ehlis, owner and president of FunShine, was searching for quality educational materials for the children in her licensed child care program. What she was looking for, however, was not available on the market. At eight months pregnant and dreaming of a business, she began creating her own curriculum, with just a paper cutter, heat sealer, computer, and the copy machine in her basement. In 1995, along with the help of her mom and sister, she started reproducing the materials for other providers. The very first curriculum kits for September 1995 were shipped to 30 customers! Every single one of them re-ordered, and Beth knew the content was sound.
Tips for Reopening Childcare
Guest Post
by Andrew Roszak
Executive Director, The Institute for Childhood Preparedness
As restrictions from the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic begin to ease, many early childhood programs are thinking about reopening. This is not an easy task and many find themselves attempting to balance feasibility versus safety. FunShine had the opportunity to talk about reopening child care with the executive director of the Institute for Childhood Preparedness, Andrew Roszak. Roszak has been working on emergency preparedness issues for over 20 years, including his service as Senior Director of Environmental Health, Pandemic Preparedness and Catastrophic Response – where he worked each day with the CDC and local health departments to better prepare communities for pandemics. Roszak submitted the following tips.
Honoring Those We've Lost
Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors those who died while serving for the United States military. Celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, it was originally known as Decoration Day. It began after the Civil War, and officially became a holiday in 1971. For many, Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of summer. Memorial Day is commemorated in many ways—some will hold gatherings and participate in parades. Others will visit cemeteries and memorials to honor loved ones. Celebrating the holiday often means acknowledging the concept of death with children. Though talking with children about death can be challenging, it's not impossible.
When discussing death with a child, first find out what he or she knows. Many children have misconceptions, fears, and worries surrounding the concept of death. While talking about it may not solve all their problems, you may be able to provide information, comfort, and a clearer understanding of what death means.
Happy National Child Care Provider Day!
National Child Care Provider Day or Provider Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on the Friday before Mother's Day. This commemoration was established in 1996 by a group of volunteers in New Jersey, who saw the need to recognize the work of child care providers. Each year, the celebration grows as individuals, local governments, and community groups take time to recognize and value the efforts of early learning providers. We want to say Thank You for all of your hard work! Because of your time, patience, and commitment, children are learning and feeling loved every day.
15 Activities to Make Week of the Young Child Memorable
This year, the Week of the Young Child (WOYC) occurs from April 11-17. As many of you know, the WOYC was established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to shed light on the needs of young children and families and to recognize the work of early childhood educators. This year marks the 49th celebration of WOYC! Be a part of this amazing lineage by celebrating in your setting and encouraging families to commemorate the occasion at home. Make the WOYC memorable by celebrating with something special each day! Choose from the following activities, and get the word out by choosing one of NAEYC's recommended activities for Kick-Off Saturday.
Resources for Children During COVID-19
As we strive to work and play from home, it's helpful to have easy-to-find, accessible resources for children. Much of what we do during this time will take place online. Save time searching for things to do or view by choosing activities from the resources below. We've compiled a list of learning and play tools, including digital books, kids podcasts, yoga workouts for children, and age-appropriate science experiments. You can even visit several zoos and aquariums across the country by accessing live webcams!
Parents Are a Child's First Teacher: Homeschooling with FunShine
by Teresa Narey
As news rapidly evolves regarding the spread of COVID-19 and precautions we should take, parents continue to face child care challenges. Questions about how to care for children and how to maintain and promote learning are abundant. While K-12 institutions have widely moved to online learning, parents of young children, especially those in preschool or Pre-K, are at a disadvantage. It is likely that many child care providers and early learning centers will offer parents guidance and resources for working with their children, however, these items may be limited and only reflect a fraction of what your child's experience might have been like in child care.
Welcome Spring with an Outdoor Classroom
by Teresa Narey
There is no greater sigh of relief after a long day with young ones than when you open the door and they rush past you to play outside. The benefits of outdoor play for children are well researched. Ample outdoor experiences promote exercise, executive functioning, risk-taking, socialization, and an appreciation for nature. Support children's outside explorations by welcoming spring with an outdoor classroom. Continue reading

text: By Jim Harris Business T EC H TACT I C S AI, How it will Transform Business Models M ore data has been created in the last two years than in all of human history combined. Companies are awash in data, but how can you derive strategic advantage from it? That's where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. Google, Facebook, Amazon and Uber are data-driven companies. AI is central to their business models, top line revenue and profitability. Google looks at the sites you visit, what you discuss in Gmail and predicts which ads would best serve you. Facebook knows your interests, your network of friends and predicts which ads you are likely to click on. Amazon knows your purchasing history and predicts what you want to buy next. Uber and Lyft know customers' travel patterns and predict the number of drivers needed to meet anticipated demand. much data as they can with devices like the Echo. The more it knows about you the better it predicts what you'll buy. Amazon's "Subscribe and Save Service" automatically delivers thousands of frequently purchased items to subscribers who get 15 percent off. What was ever fun about buying toothpaste, anyway? Globally, the logistics and supply chain industry move trillions of dollars of goods. What happens when AI so accurately predicts what customers want that the supply chain management becomes irrelevant? Digital companies benefit most from AI because they collect vast amounts of information about customers, like the time spent researching products online, which reviews they read, which photos they download and which competitive sites they visit. All this feeds the predictive AI engine: 87 percent of people who spent more than 60 minutes reading flat-panel TV reviews bought one. More specifically, your own personal pattern is such that if you spend an hour on reviews, you overwhelmingly intend to buy that product. AI will create trillions of dollars of value for strategic companies. Companies need to experiment with AI now to see how it will impact their business and profitability. Jim Harris is the author of Blindsided. Follow him at @JimHarris. Adrian825/Getty Images AI Knows What You Want As AI's predictive power improves, it will transform industries and business models. Imagine that Amazon's AI gets so accurate that it knows what you intend to order before you've ordered it - and preemptively ships it to you. If you choose to keep it, you get a discount or you can return it at no cost. Sound crazy? This is Stitch Fix's model. Customers pay $20 for a personal shopper who reviews your Facebook feed and photos and then predicts which clothes you are likely to wear. Five items are shipped and if you keep all of them, you get a 25 percent discount. Stitch Fix was founded in 2011, but is already changing online fashion retailing. Today, it is worth more than $2 billion. But imagine when AI becomes so accurate that it can replace a personal shopper. If Amazon used such an AI, it could ensure you stay committed to only buying products from its online store. This is why Amazon wants to collect as C TA . t e c h / i 3 IMPROVING AI ACCURACY VIRTUALLY Another changing business model was discussed at CES 2018 by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. He described how AI in car on a road to see how it performs, why not observe it in a virtual world - like a 3D driving game - where the car has to pre- video games - or virtual worlds - can train autonomous vehicles (AVs). NVIDIA's GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) - are the chips that drive the 3D graphics in video games. Rather than put an autonomous dict the movement of pedestrians or children chasing a ball. The autonomous program using AI can improve its driving over millions of virtual miles before it drives on the real road. JULY/AUGUST 2018 35http://www.twitter.com/jimharris http://www.CTA.tech

Fred & Sius on tour 2012
How about Andorra for lunch?
May 19, 2012
Yikes I got a shock when I washed my hair this morning and there was almost nothing there!
Just for something different We decided to head off to Andorra for the day. According to Bill it takes a few hours to get there. We left the apartment and a precious parking spot only to go around the block to find a street market in full swing. Needless to say I insisted on exploring that before we left town. I hobbled off while Fred manoeuvred the Fiat in a very French manner into a tiny space that required one wheel to be perched at a jaunty angle on the pavement. When he came back to find me I'd been cornered by a chatty old man who completely disregarded the fact that I understand about five percent of what he had to say. I did manage to convey that I was not injured in a ski accident but the conversation took on a different slant when Fred arrived and convinced him I fell because I was sozzled. This elicited a very funny mannerism from my new friend which was something akin to screwing your nose with your hand????
I'm sure had Prue been here we would have cooked up a storm being spoilt for choice with the most wonderful array of produce but being just the two of us we chose instead to fill our new market basket with picnic goodies for dinner. We have just consumed the most delicious meal including cheeses to dream about and can you believe it - a Roquefort flavoured macaron? Poor mum's mouth was watering when I was telling her about the patisserie options.
Back to Andorra - it took us more than three hours to get there so we can only assume Bill flies on his motorcycle down the motorway. The speed limit is a generous 130kph and a mere 110 if it is raining so it felt like we were flying and I had to remind Fred the cars he was trying to keep up with we're all rather bigger 4WD's and we were in a Mr Bean model. I think he gets spurred on by the manic French radio hosts who seem to talk in a very animated way at a million miles an hour. It seems to leave little opportunity to play music.
We were surprised no one seemed interested in checking passports even though you pass through an impressive border control building but I guess that apart from cheap fags there is not much contraband available to come out of Andorra.
It was quite different scenery today starting with views of the Canal du Midi and classic avenues of plane trees and a cycle path running alongside the canal and then snow capped mountains and lovely rugged valleys. Once we were over the range the drizzle stopped and the sun shone so we enjoyed lunch outside comfortable in t shirts for a change. I have had to buy two jumpers to keep warm - not at all happy about that.
As far as Andorra goes - we can say 'been there seen that' and we won't be back in a hurry. We were both expecting a quaint old town on a hill top but instead it was wall to wall modern ski vacation accommodation all down the valley to a main strip of shops selling tax free goods. It was absolutely soulless and not helped by the lack of tourist information. Tapas for lunch made a nice change though and we did enjoy the scenery and the chance to see the sunshine as it seems it has been raining all day here and it is forecast to continue until mid week. My toes will be very cold in my daggy sandals. My foot now looks like I've spilt a bottle of blue ink on it but it is feeling better every day.

text: Zuma36 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Hello, my name is Jeremy and I'm 18. I've been having mild acne for the past few years but it started to get worse the past few months. During the summer I pretty much cleared up and had only 0-2 small zits at a time and I thought my zit days were over, but ever since I moved to college (in northern california) I've been breaking out all over the place. I think it's the weather here, it's very dry and in the woods. Anyways, I have zits all over my face now and it's really starting to bug me. I have a big red bump around my nose, and I'm constantly breaking out around my forehead and chin, which have white heads and acne clusters or something... Also there is a few brightish red zits on my cheeks sometimes that take awhile to go away. What do you guys reccomend? I've heard very good things about proactiv and wanted to give it a try. Any reccomendations? I want to go all out and get acne soap and moisturizer and everything. Thanks for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

October 2, 2013 – The best way to teach your children about money habits is by example. Children can learn monetary values, how to sort coins and comprehend the concept that money is used to purchase items. With the Christmas holidays just a few weeks away you can teach your children about budgeting for gifts and shopping for items of value.
'SmartSteps for Parents' is a user-friendly, interactive, online centre that is designed to assist parents in educating children on money management offering a wealth of expert advice, helpful articles, information webisodes, expert blogs, fun games and activities.
To protect your finances and at the same time prepare your children for the day they receive their first credit card, BMO offers these basic financial safety tips.
- Never give out your credit card number (or your PIN) to anyone, including your children. Ensure that your children understand why it is so vitally important to protect personal information from identity theft and how people could take advantage should they obtain this information.
- When you are making an online purchase on behalf of your children include them in the process by walking them through the steps ensuring that, the site is legitimate and that the financial transaction is secure.
- When you review your monthly financial statement, show your children how to ensure there are no discrepancies or unexplained purchases. When they see you are carefully checking each item and placing a tick mark on all the purchases that are accountable, they will follow the same system in their future years.
Alyson Schafer, a parenting expert, psychotherapist and contributor on BMO 'SmartSteps for Parents' stated, "Shopping online is becoming more accessible. Even though children can't have their own credit cards, parents can help their children make appropriate purchases and teach them about financial safety."
BMO Financial Group's ongoing commitment to financial literacy and 'Making Money Make Sense' for Canadians releases a financial tip every week. Lesson
To obtain more information on teaching your children about online financial safety, please visit www.bmo.com/smartparents
PARENTS: Lead your Children by Example
ü It is imperative to teach your children they should not spend more money than they have. Make sure that they know the danger of payday loans and cash advance loans!
ü Encourage your children to save a portion of their money they receive from gifts, chores and allowances. Should an unexpected mishap occur, they will be prepared to handle it.
ü Children need to understand that comparison shopping is what parents do to save money as well as maintain the monthly bills and expenses. Why not use the upcoming Christmas season to enable your children in becoming more conscientious about what they purchase and where they make their next purchase.
ü Teaching your children to make a 'priority' list is the ideal way to budget and save their money for their next purchase.
ü Talk to your children about the financial decisions you make at the bank, grocery stores and when you pay the bills. Teach them how savings and chequing accounts work and the fundamentals of earning interest.
ü Teach your children how to make change and receive proper change.
ü Make sure your children know that a credit card is only a way to borrow money, and unless they pay the monthly bill, they will owe not only the amount due but also interest.
ü Money is earned; not given out freely. It's important to set expectations for your children so they know that work is financially rewarded.
If we provide our children with the necessary tools and knowledge they can make smart, financial decisions which will empower them to become confident, independent consumers. By establishing and promoting sound fundamental money management, your children will become financially responsible and secure adults.

The best decision I made this year
It has been great working with Regpack. Our registration numbers are up this year, thanks in part to the ability to offer auto-payment plans. I would absolutely choose Regpack again.
Working with Regpack has saved me time and money! I really appreciated that I could send a copy of last year's forms (from another system) to the developer to create a draft system in Regpack. I like the ease of personalizing registrations by adding comments or awarding a scholarship. The ability to send and track emails within the system is fantastic. That function alone has saved me from hiring additional admin help. The filtering system is also helpful, as we have multiple instruments and type of registrations (teachers, students, parents). Another thing that has been really useful is the ability to see and modify a user's registration after it is submitted. I also like being able to work on multiple unrelated projects for different teams.
Because it is so powerful, it takes a while to learn the ins and outs. I'm sure there are functions and capabilities that I am not using because I haven't discovered them yet. It has been frustrating at times to not find what I'm looking for in the help pages and have to send an email and wait for a reply. I appreciate that the auto-reply has an option where you can let them know if it's an urgent need. The help desk has always replied within the promised time frame with what I need.

Erin, high praise, thank you! It's wonderful to know that Regpack has been a good business decision for your organization. We love to hear that our clients can spend more time on tasks besides managing registration and payments, since Regapck makes this just work! Even better is knowing that using a business tool like Regpack can help increase your enrollment, as well as getting paid when you need to.

Extremely Customizable, but a few features missing
Overall this booking system is a lot better than what we had before. It didn't solve all of our workflow challenges, but it did solve many of them.
This is the most customizable booking software I've seen. I like the conditional triggers built in to every field and feature so I can hide or show certain questions or options to customers based on their response to a previous question or option selected. I also like how I can totally customize the reports I generate to include/exclude any type of information.
I have to divide my travel products into separate projects and when a customer creates an account in order to purchase a tour in one project, that customer is only a user in that one project. So if the customer wants to change a booking to a different tour, I have to manually copy her information into the other project. Also, there is not way to integrate my email marketing platform. I have to manually copy customer's email address from Regpack into my email marketing list. And while I can send any number of emails through Regpacks using saved templates (which is great), I can't schedule emails to send in the future.

Elinor, glad you've found Regpack to be a customizable booking system that helps you manage trip registration and payments for your retreats and trips. The ability to create a custom process for your clients and get the reports you need from your data is what makes Regpack the best!

Outstanding Customer Services
RegPack and the RegPack Customer Service team have just been awesome! We work in a very niche market, and RegPack has assisted us in providing a complete service to our clients in an attractive and user-friendly way. And - where and when we do hit speed bumps - RegPack's team have always been at the ready to hold our hands and walk us through. They are super helpful, super responsive, and proactive at every step.
We LOVE that RegPack allows us to charge our clients in a very "hands-off" approach - set and forget (meaning less human intervention, meaning a reduction in possible errors). The interface is attractive and easy to use, helping us to look polished and professional with our clients.
We are currently working with RegPack to meet the full scope of our reporting needs and, while we have workarounds to ensure we can get the data we require, RegPack is kindly working on their end to find a solution for us too.

Lots of functionality but missing some key features.
I honestly have to say my experience with RegPack has been neutral. There is a lot of functionality but sometimes a feel like the functionality is not well thought out. I would love to have a card reader or some type of integrations so you can take registration at the door. They also discontinued the group pay option without letting us know. I am not sure how other camps are handling this but we have multiple kids from a family come to camp and the parents have to pay in 2-3 transactions depending on how many kids they send. We have a lot of users commenting that this is not a good user experience especially because they had group pay and now they don't. RegPack has given a canned response of why it messes up their system and thats why they discontinued it but thats it. Overall I have to say I am a neutral on Regpack. it does its job but sometimes I feel like it could be better and they could offer a better customer experience.
This software system has a lot of features to choose from. You have lots of options and triggers that you can use on your forms and products. You have reports and email communications right inside the UI. They send out newsletters.
No card reader integrations. No group pay option. They remove functionality without notifying you. Customer support is chat only, if you want to speak in person it takes multiple escalations to get a live person. This makes it really hard when the system is down or not working. UI could be more intuitive, an example is you can't link to their system inside the facebook app on your phone. The form droplist/options will not work and making it so users can't register from facebook on their phone.

Hi Amber, It seems as though Regpack does quite a lot for you and your Camp! It's great to hear the reporting, triggers, email features and forms allow you to successfully register families online and manage your payments. While our group pay option was removed recently due to errors it was causing in the system, this does not limit the ability for families to pay for their children online easily within the system. Our goal is to provide payment options that work seamlessly and we made the choice to rebuild Group Pay so it will function as intended without compromising payment functionality overall in the system. As a note on the Facebook browser. this is an internal FB product that is meant to show pictures and other media content. Many external websites don't function as intended. You should definitely reach out to Facebook for other alternatives that would work to promote your Registration link. Please reach out to Client Success if you'd like to discuss your issues further.

Robust product with lots of options, but some glitches
The discount structure of our program was so easy to set up in the system. We loved that part of it. And the autobilling and email automation saved us so much time!
Lots of different ways to set up your program with custom forms, payment plans, and automations. This software is great for a wide variety of use cases. The new interface on the back end is easy to use with a great search function. And the autobilling makes it really easy to make sure everyone is paid up.
It does glitch occasionally. A button won't work as you expect it to. A filter will include erroneous results. A pop-over or tool tip will get stuck in place and you'll have to refresh the page. Our users frequently had issues resetting their passwords. It chips away at the faith you have in the software to give you reliable reports, etc. The user experience is also not the most intuitive on the front end. Right at the beginning, there is a box with a dotted border instructing users on how to use the progress bar to navigate the forms. Why not just make the progress bar more obviously interactive? This is UX design 101. If you have to explain something in your design, you should find a way to make it more intuitive instead. And our patrons STILL had questions about how to find things in the system.
Reasons for Choosing Regpack
None, really. We found regpack through a recommendation and I immediately saw it as a huge upgrade for us without a big increase of costs.

Andrew, I'm so glad to read that Regpack makes customizing your process easy and gives you the options you need to present your classes and manage your attendees easily in the back end. I have our dev team looking into some of the glitches you mentioned. We work hard to ensure a smooth user experience and when we find issues, we work quickly to resolve them. The resent password issue you mentioned was brought to our attention and resolved last month. All in all, its great to hear Regpack has been a big upgrade for how you work and we look forward to continued success in our partnership!

In recognition of International Day of the Midwife, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is raising awareness about the important role midwives play in supporting, caring for and advising women during pregnancy, labor and the postpartum period.
The International Day of the Midwife is celebrated around the world every 5 May. The day was initially recognized by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) in celebration of the role of midwives and midwifery. Midwives play a crucial role in maternal and infant health. According to the ICM, women who have access to a midwife experience less preterm births, fewer interventions during labor and shorter hospital stays. As part of the multidisciplinary team, midwives provide woman-centered and supportive care that goes beyond childbirth and includes family planning, disease screenings and more.
"Midwives play an important role in providing positive birth and postpartum experiences for women and their families. They are a valued part of our health system and the International Day of the Midwife provides an opportune time for us to celebrate and reflect on the important role played by this professional group," said Dr. Badriya Al-Lenjawi (pictured), Executive Director of Nursing, Corporate Nursing and Midwifery Department. Midwives employed at HMC are experts in normal pregnancy and birth, who have successfully completed a midwifery education program that is duly recognized in the country where it is located and that is based on the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice and the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education.
Ms. Rim Bent Hedi Sdiri, a Head Nurse in the Labor and Delivery Unit at HMC's Women's Hospital, said the International Day of the Midwife is a day to pause and recognize the role midwives play in keeping women and their babies safe during one of life's major events. "Labor and delivery can be both an exciting and stressful time for women and their families. It can be an extremely vulnerable time, both physically and mentally. Midwives assist in critical decision making regarding appropriate care during pregnancy, labor and the postpartum period. We are advocates for our patients and their babies, supporting them by providing evidence-based care during these special phases in their life," said Ms. Sdiri.
In acknowledgment of the day, a number of events were held across HMC's network of hospitals, including a professional development event at Women's and Al Wakra Hospitals.

Contrary to what you've probably read on the internet, there is at least one benefit to the month with an average national contiguous temperature of 32 degrees. It is that you are automatically granted the excuse to send that "raincheck? lol" text any chilly evening you so choose, and instead snuggle up with your ugliest jogger sweatpants, a glass of Rioja, and brand-new skincare products. With the plethora of face creams, cleansers, serums, treatments, and oils hitting the market this February, however, it can be hard to decide which formulas are truly deserving of your Friday night. That's why we've asked our beauty editors to share their favorite at-home spa-day indulgences ahead, so you can stock up on the skincare products worth canceling all your plans for this month.POPSUGAR

Recipe by Amanda Haas, culinary director of Williams-Sonoma and author of The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook (Chronicle Books, 2016). "Three times a week at home, I roast cauliflower florets until they're caramelized," says Amanda. "We eat them by the bucket." This recipe is a natural extension.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450°. Put cauliflower florets in a large bowl and add 1 1/2 tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. salt, the cumin, chile flakes, and garlic. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Spread florets evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring once, until florets are cooked through and a little crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
Put 1/2 cup water in a blender with roasted cauliflower and garlic, lemon juice, remaining 3 tbsp. oil, the tahini, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Blend, adding more water if needed (up to 1/4 cup) and scraping sides often, until you have a creamy purée, about 4 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if you like.
Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika.
Make ahead: Up to 3 days, chilled airtight.

Review rating: Four out of five stars
Two distinct types of comedy run through "The Cripple of Inishmaan," a 1997 play by Martin McDonagh, performed here by City Equity Theatre.
First, we have the traditional twinkle of a folk tale set in the Aran Islands, off the coast of Ireland. The town is small; the fields are green; the inhabitants are chatty and eccentric.
But don't go expecting leprechauns or a hidden pot of gold. There's a streak of gallows humor underlying McDonagh's plot, darkening the journey and rendering any joy bittersweet.
The push and pull between these two moods gives "The Cripple of Inishmaan" an interesting poignancy. On stage at Alabama School of Fine Arts, it's a two-hour tightrope walk between jubilation and anger, hope and despair.
Jonathan Fuller directs the nine-member cast, which includes four members of Actors' Equity Association. The non-Equity players are fully equal to the challenge, however, so everything stays in balance.
It's 1934 in the village of Inishmaan, a place where petty squabbles among the neighbors are the biggest news of the day. "Cripple" Billy Claven (portrayed by Pete Moffatt) spends his time daydreaming in cow pastures or reading in the store run by his two adopted aunts (Regina Harbour and Marlene Johnson).
No one expects much from Cripple Billy, as everyone calls him, and comments on his physical shortcomings can be cruel. But Billy wants more from life, and he gets a chance to prove it when a Hollywood film crew arrives in a nearby town, promising screen tests to some of the locals.
The story spins off from there, revolving around Moffatt's character. Still, "The Cripple of Inishmaan" is an ensemble piece with tightly interlocking roles for a fierce tart (Rachel Burttram), a besotted old lady (Jeanmarie Collins), a dumb-bunny youth (Jonathan McLernon) and a tough-skinned widower (Alan Gardner). Director Fuller also has a part, as the no-nonsense village doctor.
All of the actors do a good job, but Dennis McLernon just about steals the show as the boozy village gossip -- a self-styled "reporter" known as Johnny Pateen. He's as egotistical as Geraldo Rivera, as nosy as Nancy Grace, as ethical as Star magazine. In short, he's a real hoot.
Some of the Irish accents in this production might be a wee bit overstated, and a couple of lines were flubbed during a recent Sunday matinee. These small flaws, however, are no reason to stay away from City Equity Theatre's production, which runs through June 3.
Fuller obviously has a grasp of the script, an understanding of his actors and, in general, a fine ear for the rhythms of the dialogue.
