Have your say
At Chapelford Village Primary School we are a reflective and developmental school and are always looking for ways to improve. Your views are important to us and we are keen to hear your comments, answer any questions and listen to any concerns you may have. There are many ways you can do this at our school.
How can we communicate?
Every Friday our weekly newsletter is distributed to all our governors, family & friends. We are always keen to share and celebrate good news and achievements. This can also be done by contributing to our out of school achievements section of our newsletter.
Please email details to school office or just drop in if you wish something to be included.
Every Friday we hold our phase celebration assembly's in which we share our good news and announce our "Star Learners" and "Star Lunchtime Awards" nominated by our midday staff. Children have either completed work or have shown an outstanding attitude to their learning. We also celebrate children's attendance along with nominating one of our pupils to take home the class pet and celebrate weekly birthdays.
Throughout the year there are many opportunities for you to come into school to find out how your child is taught through open evenings, attending our Mother's and Father's Day Afternoons, stay and play sessions for EYFS. Volunteers are also welcome into school so if you are interested please seek advice at the school office.
We also hold a range of evening workshops for you to attend to support your understanding of the teaching of reading, phonics, maths as well as other information sessions around the curriculum and assessment.
These are advertised on our newsletter, termly events and website. These are increasingly well attended as they are informative and give you an opportunity to ask lots of questions and have an insight into new teaching methods and approaches.
Speak to the Class Teacher
We value your thoughts and encourage an open face to face dialogue with parents. We have an 'open door' policy which means that teachers are available at the end of every day. Staff welcome children into school every morning please let staff know if you wish to make an appointment or require a telephone consultation. We are always happy to support.
Parents' evenings are held three times a year (once a term) and this is an excellent opportunity to speak in depth to your Child's class teacher as well as learn about your child's learning and share their books.
Speak to the Deputy Headteacher/Headteacher
If your problem or concern cannot be resolved with the class teacher or phase leader then Miss Adams or Mrs Tottie (DHT's) are available for an appointment. If your issue or concern is not resolved at this stage Mrs Hewson (Headteacher) is always happy to meet with parents and carers to support and share concerns.
You can contact the school via the school office or directly through the school website. Please do not sit and worry at home, come into school and talk to us.
Parent Forum
Every term from summer 2016 Mrs Hewson together with the Governors will hold a forum meeting. This is a relaxed meeting in which we can discuss the School Improvement Plan and key priorities. It is another opportunity to share ideas and views of ways to make our school even better. These sessions are held in the morning and repeated again in the evening and everyone is welcome.
ChaPTA Coffee Mornings
We aim to host one coffee morning's a term. These are another opportunity to meet and share views with other parents over a coffee and speak to staff Deputy's and Headteacher. Everyone is always welcomed.
School Surveys
Every autumn we ask parents and carers to complete a short survey, this is completed on parent's evening but can be done at any time on Parent Survey through the link on our website. The survey focuses on teaching and learning, behaviour and safety, and leadership. This is one of the most important tools for us as we directly gain your views. This helps us to see the positives and also importantly, areas in which we can improve.
Recent surveys have helped us to improve things. For example you have requested the school grounds to be developed and this is now underway.
A parent also made a suggestion for the school to be clear about how to get in touch with the school and as a result we have devised the "Have you Say" section of our website.
During other parent's evenings we always have mini views and there are parent suggestion boxes in the main entrance and office should you wish to pop a not in there. Don't wait for these surveys thought! If you have some feedback for us, let us know.
Look out for Communication
Every Friday Mrs Hewson writes the weekly newsletter. This always contains important information about what has happened in the week as well as upcoming events and other key messages.
Your questions, comments or concerns are often raised in our communications. A large majority of our parents sand carers are now emailed but we still send home paper copies should you prefer. Past copies of newsletters are available in the school office reception area.
Make a complaint
Complaints are very rare at Chapelford Village Primary School due to the excellent relationships and communications we have with our families. We have an excellent team of dedicated staff who are almost always available, along with the Deputy Headteachers and Headteacher, so it is often easy to resolve any concerns or issues you may have quickly. However, if parents or carers feel that they need to make a formal complaint, it should be made in writing to the Headteacher. A copy of our full complaints policy and procedures as well as recent guidelines from Warrington Borough Council, can be viewed in our policies section.
As always, if you have a question, concern or ideas please make contact with us. We are always here to support you and your child to the best of our abilities.


text: The Warsaw Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra draws upon the rich and old tradition whereby individual artists from the full Warsaw Philharmonic would get together to make their own chamber music. The first chamber ensembles were formed at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the 1960s and 1970s, the National Philharmonic Chamber Musicians ensemble under Karol Teutsch achieved success playing concerts worldwide. Other ensembles made up of musicians from the Warsaw Philharmonic also gained international recognition. In the 1990s the string ensemble gave concerts with eminent soloists such as Konstanty A. Kulka and Nigel Kennedy, making records and TV programmes. During the celebration of the Warsaw Philharmonic's centenary, the Warsaw Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra was reactivated under the patronage of Antoni Wit. The ensemble consists of leading instrumentalists from the Warsaw Philharmonic, including former members of Karol Teutsch's ensemble.

We, Bluebelt Co. Ltd and PIXEL Companies Co., Ltd (Location: Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. President: Hiroaki Yoshida) have mutually agreed, to list the tokens developed by PIXEL Companies Group's "Fin-Tech IoT Project" in the auspices of their Smart Contract System development, to our cryptocurrency exchange we operate in one of our subsidiaries. This is a notice of this statement.
1. Regarding Our Basic Agreement
We are a company that primarily develops financial technology systems, and through our subsidiaries, operate cryptocurrency exchanges from Asia. Our subsidiaries are located in Korea, Japan (license pending), Philippines (licensed), several other Asian nations, Estonia (licensed), and Australia, and through these locations, we operate cryptocurrency exchanges. Our subsidiaries surpass over ten companies.
PIXEL, through their Fin-Tech IoT Project, develop systems using blockchain technologies such as those in smart contract systems.
Through our recent agreement between us and PIXEL, the PIXEL Group will be listing their developed tokens on our cryptocurrency exchange. This will increase the number of high-quality tokens to be potentially listed on our exchanges in the future, with the help of PIXEL's sales and development abilities, and thus have mutually agreed as such.
2. Prospects for the future
We believe that through this agreement, PIXEL will be facilitating more token referrals to our exchanges, and thus will increase our market presence in Japan, and increase our sales capabilities. However, we do not know the possibilities of the effects of this agreement to the fullest extent.
Thank you.

Artist: SUICIDE SILENCE
Album: "SUICIDE SILENCE (CD)"
Media type:
Imagine a high-speed bullet train in the throes of a 275 mph run as it suddenly makes a sharp turn without a single second to slow down. That's the sound of SUICIDE SILENCE.It's not so much the noise from Japan's famous Shinkansen trains that's analogous with the Southern California heavy metal institution, a band that has both defined and defied subgenre classifications over the course of five incredible albums and countless international tours. No, what SUICIDE SILENCE has in common with the bullet train is the breakneck intensity, the fearless acceleration, and the no-nonsense efficiency.SUICIDE SILENCE is an aggressive mainstay and fierce attraction at Vans Warped Tour, extreme metal festivals like Ozzfest Meets Knotfest and Rockstar Mayhem, and hard rock radio gatherings like Rock On The Range and Aftershock, bridging the gap between the subcultural adherents of the band's bludgeoning ferocity and the generation of youth desperate for a supportive community to help them overcome life's struggles.Like monumental self-titled sets from trailblazers like METALLICA, FLEETWOOD MAC, BLUR, and THE BEATLES, the latest album from SUICIDE SILENCE is a bold mission statement awaiting true definition by the fans. They didn't set out to sell a billion albums or change the musical culture of the world, but their fifth record is no less ambitious and transformative for them in unbridled creativity, dense atmosphere, and groove.»Suicide Silence« redefines, refines and brilliantly sharpens the purpose of the band, a group whose music has been integral to the personal daily empowerment of many of its diehard fans and absolutely of vital consequence to the survival of the guys in the band.On their fifth and arguably most important album, Chris Garza (guitar), Mark Heylmun (guitar), Dan Kenny (bass), Alex Lopez (drums) and Eddie Hermida (vocals) unapologetically attack the next chapter of their creative expression together with vigorous purpose, complacency-smashing courage, and fearless decisiveness.In this effort, SUICIDE SILENCE enlisted producer Ross Robinson, who similarly helped summon career-defining albums by SLIPKNOT, KORN, AT THE DRIVE-IN, SEPULTURA, GLASSJAW, and FROM FIRST TO LAST. Joe Barresi, best known for his work with TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, SLIPKNOT, FU MANCHU, KYUSS, and BAD RELIGION, expertly mixed »Suicide Silence«.The result is a record that's simultaneously raw and intimate, brutal and powerful, from the ripper attack of album opener 'Doris,' with a jarring sound that puts the listener right inside the room with Robinson and the band, to the haunting melancholy of 'Conformity' and the soul searching, epic adventure of 'Silence' and 'The Zero.'The band's continued legacy cemented and secure with their previous four records, SUICIDE SILENCE have endeavored to leave their mark on heavy metal with a diverse catalog demonstrative of the totality of who they are as people. Album five is their most victorious triumph by far, but it's by no means their only jaw-dropping accomplishment.TRACKLIST CD:01. Doris02. Silence03. Listen04. Dying In A Red Room05.

Cardio Tennis
is a great way to try out tennis without needing to know a lot of technique. You can hit a ball and learn as you go. For those who are not sure what it is all about, just come along and try ! We even have a racket you can borrow for the session and non-members are welcome. Cardio tennis is aimed at all abilities which makes it a real social mixer. If you are a complete beginner or feel intimated by coming to a main club session, this is definitely the group lesson to try. The lesson is done to music which has been shown scientifically to motivate participants and lose more calories as they exert themselves more. Cardio tennis is a great way to keep fit in a fun way - you think about constantly moving and hitting balls but at the same time are losing calories.
The hour's lesson is broken into sections:
Warm Up
Drills - various shot practice and linking shots
Game Play - fun group games which incorporate the practice from drills
Cool Down - stretching and cooling the body down
See you on THURSDAYS at 9.30am-10.30am. Please check with Fiona to see which dates Cardio will run on throughout the school holidays before you come.
Cost is £5

Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center:
There are few people in today's public forum that have made cultural and political impact like that of George Takei. From his iconic role as Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek, to his deep involvement in obtaining a redress of Japanese Americans who were forced into relocation during World War II, to his fervent fight for LGBT rights, George has proven himself to be a force to reckon with. Plus, his cat memes are awesome!!!George and Brad Takei graced us with their presence at the DC Film Premiere of To Be Takei, a new documentary starring the couple. We also found some time to show him some powerful pieces from the Smithsonian collection (thanks to National Museum of American History curators Noriko Sanefuji and Katherine Ott!) and hung with him backstage. Join our play-by-play!The evening kicked off with a special reception to honor our friends and supporters. As you can see, Brad Takei thoroughly enjoyed the regal wallpaper at the VIP room. The WB Theater was packed for To Be Takei! Our director Konrad Ng, along with Daphne Kwok – AARP Vice President of Multicultural Markets & Engagement for the Asian American and Pacific Islander Audience – introduced George, and then the man of the hour came out to introduce the film. While the film played, we took George and Brad upstairs to view some items selected by NMAH curators, including the Congressional Gold Medal for Nisei World War II veterans. Irene Hirano Inouye, President of the U.S.-Japan Council, Daphne Kwok, and Floyd Mori, President of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies joined them while Noriko and Katherine led a conversation around pieces from Japanese American families who were forced to relocate during World War II, as well as items from the National Museum of American History's LGBT collection. Powerful pieces included artifacts from Rohwer Confinement Site, where George was incarcerated as a boy before his family was sent to Tule Lake. Backstage, George sat down with Adriel Luis, our Curator of Digital and Emerging Media, to talk about how his career has been driven by a range of influences – from old Samurai films to African American civil rights leaders. Senator Mazie Hirono stopped by to say "Hello." After the film, George and Brad went back to the auditorium to participate in a Q&A moderated by Gautam Raghavan, Public Engagement Advisor for the White House.
We had a spectacular time with George and Brad! Check out a trailer of his film below, and stay tuned for more amazing events!

As the year draws to a close #Wednesbury
I hope everyone in Wednesbury had a great Christmas but now we have to look to the future. What will 2017 bring? There will be some changes with a few companies opening up new premises in or around Wednesbury. Lidl will have a new warehouse and so too will DFS. There will be a new car showroom to replace Carcraft and there are interesting developments on the Gallagher retail park. We also hope to get better Christmas lights next year, too!

'Interpose: New Paintings by Shawn McNulty and James Wrayge'
At their best, abstract paintings follow an internal logic that's subtly apparent in their design, colors, balance, texture and other nuances. McNulty and Wrayge are masters of that craft whose latest, large-scale (up to 6 feet wide) compositions strike a harmonious balance between structure and gesture, planning and spontaneity. Working with thin veils of oil pigment, Wrayge produces poetic canvases in moody, atmospheric shades of gray. McNulty emphasizes texture by layering on acrylic paints, scraping the surfaces, reapplying color and carving again with palette knives to reveal pentimenti and the underlying architecture of each image as in "Tycoon," seen above.- Mary Abbe

Meeting Notes – April 11, 2018
Number of Attendees: 32 (+1 guest)
TREASURERS REPORT was given by Janice Rhodes. Our financial position remains strong. We had income this month from paintings sold at the Grundy show and at the hospital. Rent to CFA has been paid.
WORKSHOPS: Jen Renshaw completed her workshops on portraiture. She spoke to the group about her methodology and showed samples of the type of work covered in her classes. Several members showed some of the work they had produced under her direction. The workshop was very well received and attended.
Rodney Miller has produced a video of this workshop that will be available for viewing on the AOB Facebook page.
Gail Bracegirdle will be doing our next workshop (watercolor) in the summer. Details and registration information will be provided at a later date.
Please remember that these workshops are FREE to AOB members.
GRUNDY LIBRARY SHOW: This show was very successful. There were over 100 students who participated as well as entries from many AOB members.
The "People's Choice awards were:
1st Place……….Kristen Baker
2nd place……….Tom Furey
3rd place……….Marty Shively
HM……………Bill Roadfuss

GRUNDY LIBRARY ONGOING DISPLAY: There is a waiting list to display art behind the circulation desk at the library. Anyone wishing to get on this list should contact Claire Bergan at email@example.com.
ADULT ART CLASSES: A number of art classes for adults are being run by Middletown Township. Several of our members are instructors for these sessions. Contact the Township for additional information.
DYNAMIC SYMETRY: Tom Furey brought one of his paintings and explained his approach to the work and his use of dynamic symmetry to devise the composition. He also told the group about the historical use of tools such as lenses and special cameras to project images. These were used by the "old masters" and are appropriate for today's artist. (George Servais will bring his Camera Lucinda to the next meeting to demonstrate this procedure.)

text: Last Updated: October 7, 2019 13:10 pm | Real Estate International Property Show: about the region's leading real estate event Middle East's biggest property exhibition: It is undeniable how Dubai, the largest and most populous city in the UAE, has evolved over the last decade into a futuristic city and a global hub of business and tourism. The rapid growth it has sustained has earned it a prominent place under the spotlight of major international investors, something that can be clearly reflected in many aspects including its booming real estate market and the annual property shows it hosts, the most prominent of which is the International Property Show. A three-day annual property sales platform, International Property Show has evolved over the years to become the biggest real estate exhibition in the Middle East region ever since the launching of its first edition. Needless to say, such a status has contributed to the exponential growth of the UAE economy. History of International Property Show: Like any other similar event, the growth of Dubai's International Property Show has been reflected in its most obvious form in the numbers. To elaborate more, International Property Show 2015, which took place during the peak of the oil prices' crisis that hit the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region hard, could attract 125 exhibitors from 117 countries, a number that has went up in the edition of 2017 to be 177 exhibitors from 141 countries. Moreover, the participating exhibitors are not strictly real estate developers only; they also include real estate agents and brokers, investment by residency services. On the other hand, the number of attendees of the 2015 edition had slightly exceeded 14,500 visitors and, three editions later, the number surged up to cross the 19,000 visitors mark. The event's visitors usually comprise mainly real estate investors (42%), real estate agents and brokers (24%), financial institutions and investment banks (15%), and property developers (9%). International Property Show 2018: Under the sponsorship of UAE's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and Dubai Real Estate Institute, the event's latest edition was its most successful one so far. IPS 2018 was held from the 9th to the 11th of last April in Dubai World Trade Center, and it witnessed where exhibitors from 143 countries sold more than 1200 real estate units to the show's attendees whose numbers passed the 20,000 visitors mark this year, 60% of which were real estate investors. The revenues generated from the sold units reached up to $1bn. IPS 2018 witnessed the participation of some of the biggest names in the real estate market in UAE. It featured the contribution of Azizi Developments, Danube Properties, and MAG Lifestyle Developments contribution as strategic partners, and the leading developer Emaar Properties as the strategic founding partner. International Property Show 2019: Not much information have been revealed about the next year's edition of the show except for its planned date; that is, from the 26th to the 28th of March. However, with the growth in the numbers of visitors and exhibitors that the show sustained through the years on one hand, and the increasing interest in the UAE real estate market specially with the approaching date of the anticipated Expo 2020 Dubai on the other, it is safe to predict that International Property Show 2019 is going to achieve an even more booming success, Reasons behind the show's success: There are multiple reasons to which the success of International Property Show can be attributed, as the event organizers have been keen on integrating the features that are sought the most by both the visitors and the exhibitors in it to make it the best attraction of its kind in the region. On one hand, in addition to the enablement of the on-site Business to Customers (B2C) sales, the show offers its visitors lucrative benefits. For example, the latest edition of the show witnessed the launch of its Mega Property Sale for the first time. The sale provided a platform for developers, banks, and brokers to showcase their properties and real estate products at discounted prices, exceptionally low down payment and no registration fees. In addition to that, the show visitors were offered free legal consultancy services. The exhibitors' feedback on the show was generally positive; they specially praised the quality of the visitors and the business conversations and discussions (93% agreement). As of 2017, around 89% of the exhibitors said they would be coming to participate in the future editions of International Property Show. On the other hand, IPS has country pavilions for 5 of the most prominent real estate investment attractions; those are India, Europe, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan. Country pavilions offer the participating exhibitors an additional privilege due to their strategically chosen positions within the show. It is worth mentioning here that the UAE expats from India, Pakistan and Egypt are among the top 10 most prominent real estate investors. The trio of these countries, along with UAE of course, constitute the top 4 visiting countries of the annual show. Side Events and Attractions: Beside the showcased new projects and real estate products that aim at meeting the needs of the visiting potential buyers and investors, International Property Show features multiple side events that are considered a major attraction for both the real estate agents and brokers and the developers, who, as we mentioned before, each constitute 24% and 9% of the show's visitors respectively. Such events include: – Workshops and conferences that aim at helping the real estate professionals develop their knowledge and skills, and stay up to date with the latest trends of the industry. – Business Matchmaking Lounge: 2 B2B lounge that aims at stimulating and nurturing discussions over the future of the industry between its major names and encouraging the potential partnership opportunities between them. Additionally, visitors can use IPS Mobile App which enables them to connect with their prospects. Impact on the UAE economy: Real estate, as an industry, contributes a major part of the GDP of Dubai (around 25%) and the UAE overall. With the increasing focus on real estate events, like International Property Show in Dubai and International Real Estate and Investment Show (IREIS) in Abu Dhabi, we are expecting to see an active roles for these events in nurturing the growth of the UAE property market in the near future.

News in Brief
Consortium Seeks Bids for Major Tech Project
One of the two main consortia of states developing tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards is asking for proposals from vendors to develop an ambitious array of technology services, including a platform for delivering the assessments and a warehouse for storing reams of data.
The estimated price for that work: between $16.5 million and $17.5 million, according to the organization that issued the 112-page document, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.
Questions have emerged among state and local officials about whether the tests, which are scheduled to be given online during the 2014-15 academic year, can be delivered smoothly and at a manageable cost.
The request for proposal put forward by PARCC, dubbed a "technology bundle," requires prospective vendors to provide a platform for delivering the tests and develop a data-management and -reporting system.

I feel like a CNN journalist on a slow-news month. "So today, all quiet in the Middle East but… DROP EVERYTHING, A BABY PANDA WAS BORN! WE WILL NOW SPEND THE NEXT 24 HOURS LOOKING AT IT!"
Unfortunately, all I have is panda food growing in my bedroom—the three lucky bamboo stalks are sprouting leaves and roots.
I have no news from my query letter sent over a month ago. No "ah ha, seriously?!" email, no "MAILER-DAEMON" message, nothing.
This is a classic issue of time expectations. First, as communication becomes immediate, response time has shortened accordingly. Second, we all have different time-frame expectations, based on the nature of the business or the industry. I often see that with my clients: an "urgent" assignment can mean "deliver the press release translated and proofed within a couple of hours, else the world stops spinning" or "I need these four slides back three weeks from now, sorry for the rush."
I didn't really have a time frame in mind when I submitted my query letter. Past the initial three-day mark—basically, a publisher jumping on an amazing proposal—I mostly forgot about it. Work kept me busy, which is good because as a freelancer, the more assignments I get, the more I make.
Besides, I have zero control over the situation. Publishers don't have to reply to query letters. They all stress how busy they are. "DO NOT CALL OR DROP BY," many specify—an option I never even considered since I hate doing business over the phone, let alone try to sell my story to someone who specifically demanded not to be called. Some publishers mention that if you don't hear from them within three months, six months, a year, then you should stop waiting and move on.
Now, here is my dilemma: should I query someone else even if I didn't receive an official rejection letter? If I query once a year, I think I'll still be writing letters by the time Mark starts job hunting. That said, I'm not sure why I'm in a hurry now. After all, I sat on the book for four years, who am I to grow impatient with a publisher?
Oh yeah, I know why.
Because of Quiznos.
Yes, Quiznos—you know, the "toasted sub" in the sandwich franchise war.
There used to be a Quiznos at the end of the street. Feng worked at Subway years ago, so we were Subway customers—plus, we were broke and Subway had better deals.
In November 2004, I walked to Quiznos and bought myself a sandwich for dinner. As I was waiting for my food, I noticed a "HELP WANTED" sign by the door. "That would be perfect!" I thought. "It's so close to home I can take pretty much any shift and I won't need Feng to give me a ride."
I had just received my first work visa and I was job hunting. At 23, the "Education" section on my resume was much longer than the "Experience" one but I was confident I could make sandwiches and work the till. I mean, come on, I'm French—I've been cutting open baguette since I'm 2 and buttering my own bread since I'm 4.
I grabbed an application form, filled it out at home (after eating the mediocre overpriced sandwich so that I wouldn't get fast food grease stains all over it) and printed out a copy of my resume.
The following day, I dropped by after rush hour and introduced myself to the manager. He took my application, read my resume and asked me a few questions to which my answers were an enthusiastic "yes!" (except the one about a criminal record, obviously). He underlined my phone number with his black pen. "We'll be in touch," he promised.
A week later, I still hadn't heard from Quiznos and I wasn't brave enough to follow up on my application.
Two weeks later, I started crossing the street to avoid walking by the store because surely, I must have done something terribly wrong to deserve such treatment.
A month later, I complained to Feng. "Why? Why didn't they hire me? I have a work visa, I'm reliable and we live so close I can dedicate my life to sandwiches!"
Feng found the situation pretty funny. "He'd be me, I'd say it's discrimination but unfortunately, Juliette, you don't even look like an immigrant…!"
Quiznos wasn't the only place where I had applied without much success, but it was the only store officially hiring. Plus, I had met the manager so this rejection (or lack of news) felt personal.
I moved on, eventually found a job, then another one, started a position as a French teacher in 2005 (my first real job) and the rest is listed on my resume under "experience."
Fast forward to 2010. I was working on Parliament Hill, my BlackBerry constantly beeping long after the official work day was over. I had an office with a door and a TV—not because I was particularly important but because I was strongly encouraged to make myself comfortable and not go home at 5 p.m.. I would eventually quit but I wasn't there yet. That night, I came home and I was taking off my clothes to take a shower when the phone rang. By then, we both had cellphones, so landline calls were typically telemarketing or Feng's parents. I let Feng answer it.
"Juliette?" he called a second later. "For you."
I picked up the phone in the bedroom.
"Yes, Ms. Giannesini?"
"Mrs.," actually, but I didn't correct him.
"This is John," he went on. "From Quiznos. I was wondering if you'd be available to cover the morning shift tomorrow, like, come around 8 a.m."
I was at a loss for words. "It's 2010," I eventually replied. "I applied in 2004."
There was momentary silence on the other end of the line. I assumed the manager was realizing his mistake.
"This means I'm not available anymore," I volunteered.
"Oh, alright. Have a good day, then!"
I hung up and burst out laughing.
"I didn't even know they could hang onto resumes for that long! Did they run out of all possible available employees and start digging into the 2004 applicant folder?"
Funnily enough, a couple of years later, I actually interviewed a Quiznos CEO for a marketing case study I was writing for a client. I never asked about their hiring policy, though. Then, Subway toasted Quiznos in the subway war and the store at the end of the street closed—it's now a Vietnamese restaurant and no, I won't apply for a job.
So back to my book proposal—yeah, maybe I should query more publishers to avoid another Quiznos moment…

Beijing, China (CNN) -- The stage was set, the event sold-out. International media cameras lined up along on the catwalk beneath rows of gleaming spotlights, but an hour before the Mr. Gay China pageant was supposed to start, police shut it down.
The announcement triggered a media scrum at LAN, a flashy nightclub in downtown Beijing. Event organizer Ben Zhang of Gayographic disappeared amid what seemed to be an intense conversation with authorities. Contestants scattered and found refuge with friends.
"I'm a little bit sad," said Jay, a 29-year-old contestant from Tianjin. "I encouraged myself to do this, but now it's cancelled."
The competition was scheduled to include a fashion and talent show, as well as a question-and-answer session. Several of the eight finalists were planning to go public with their homosexuality for the first time.
"I tried to use this competition to come out," Jay said. "But now I'll wait another few years until I find my Mr. Right."
26-year-old contestant Emilio Liu from Inner Mongolia also expressed disappointment. "[Homosexuality] is still not really accepted by the whole society and China is not there yet."
According to Gayographic, police cited lack of proper licensing as a reason to cancel the pageant.
"The authorities said we did not have the proper permit to do a show involving performances," said Ryan Dutcher, communications director and co-founder of Gayographic. However, Dutcher said they filled out all the relevant paperwork many days in advance.
"I wouldn't say it's a step back, but it's definitely not a step forward," Dutcher said. He also announced the weekly gay night at LAN club has been cancelled until further notice.
Less than 24 hours after authorities shut down Mr. Gay China, AIDS NGO Aizhixing confirmed police cancelled their 16th anniversary celebration and meetings. The organization specifically targets patients in the gay community and aims to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS issues.
"We don't know exactly why, and we did not really ask," said Wan Yanhai, one of China's most prominent AIDS activists and founder of the Beijing Aizhixing Institute. "The government might not believe in what we are doing. We hoped we could operate more openly in society. But it seems that the government will not accept this."
A state-sponsored and UN-supported radio talk show dealing with HIV issues was also postponed this weekend, according to Zhang Wei, a spokesperson for the UN Development Program.
The program, "Positive Talks," was scheduled to start airing weekly on China National Radio but so far has not received final approval from the government.
These events, along with the cancellation of Mr. Gay China, have let down many in China's gay community. The pageant would have signified an opening up of Chinese government attitudes toward homosexuality.
"In the beginning, I thought it was a joke because I didn't think China would ever hold anything like this, but now it's coming true. I'm nervous and excited," contestant Emilio Liu indicated before the competition was officially cancelled.
According to state-run media there are an estimated 30 million homosexuals in China, but the majority of them are not out of the closet.
Liu says he has told his mother he is gay but hesitates to tell his father.
"My dad doesn't really believe in homosexuality," Liu says. "He thinks that it doesn't exist in the world."
Still, perceptions have changed significantly over the last several years. Homosexual sex was considered a crime until 1997. In 2001, homosexuality was removed from a list of mental disorders. Beijing's first large-scale gay bar, Destination, opened in 2005. Last year, Shanghai staged China's first gay pride festival, though some of the events were cancelled.
"The reality in China: it's still hard to be gay," says Ray Ally, a social commentator with Landor Associates in Beijing. "It's still very hard to be openly gay with your friends, with your work colleagues and there's still a stigma or taboo about being gay."
The winner of the Mr. Gay China pageant would have gone on to compete in Mr. Gay Worldwide in Oslo, Norway. But Gayographic has now decided not to send a delegate.
"The candidates decided they want to go back to the normal lives," Dutcher said. "They had a good experience but they don't want to cause any trouble."

Our client, a 55 year old woman, was riding her bicycle when struck by a delivery truck making a left turn into the crosswalk in which she was traveling. Our client fell to the ground and may have been momentarily unconscious. She refused medical treatment at the scene but later submitted to emergency room treatment which disclosed no fractures or major injuries.
Our client earned a foreign medical degree but was unable to work on a regular basis for several years prior to the accident because of pre-existing medical and emotional problems. After the accident, her medical complaints increased and were quite varied. Her medical care included at least three surgeries for knee and leg problems as well as substantial expenses for dental, chiropractic, acupuncture, counseling and physical therapy treatments. She also complained of upper body pain and carpal tunnel syndrome along with numerous other ongoing problems.
The delivery company's carrier claimed that except for minor whiplash injuries, our client's injuries pre-existed the accident and were unrelated to it. Pretrial settlement offers peaked at $10,000. After a three-day trial to a judge, the delivery company's attorney asked the court to limit its award $25,000. The judge found in our client's favor and awarded damages in the amount of $69,500 plus costs.

The husband of Sandra Marks, aka Psychic Catherine, was sentenced to 33 months in prison and ordered to pay $5.5 million in restitution to the clients seeking spiritual solace the couple bilked.
Donnie Marks, 43, who was charged with mail fraud and money laundering, appeared in the same U.S. District Court February 10 where his wife was sentenced to 30 months in prison in November.
The couple ran Readings by Catherine on U.S. 29 North, and Sandra Marks, 42, offered palm, tarot card, astrological and spiritual readings, and he was the money manager.
When Sandra Marks was sentenced, her attorney contended she would still be doing $35 palm readings had she not crossed paths with Master Charles Cannon in 2003. Cannon introduced her to his Nelson County spiritual retreat, Synchronicity, and to clients with higher incomes.
Donnie Marks' attorney, Fred Heblich, objected to one of the points in the pre-sentencing report, because the criminal conduct occurred at Synchronicity. Sandra Marks was there every day, and her husband didn't know what was happening there, he said.
Prosecutor Ron Huber disagreed, and said Marks was managing his wife's work. "I would say they were equals with different skills," he said. "Hers was to persuade, face to face. His was finance and opening accounts. I think they're equally culpable."
Huber did acknowledge that Sandra "definitely had closer ties to Synchronicity. I don't think they were fond of him. I don't think they were interested in him."
The couple used the money they obtained from victims who were "looking for hope and relief" to support a "lavish lifestyle," said Huber. "Sandra Marks never had the ability to cleanse money. What they did have was the power to swindle people."
In discussing probation, Huber expressed some concerns that with limited education and "lifelong ties to the gypsy lifestyle," and that Marks would "return to a life of crime." Judge Glen Conrad ordered Marks to get a full-time job upon his release and not be self-employed.
Huber and Conrad commended Marks on his cooperation with authorities. And Conrad noted that six family members were there.
Marks addressed the court before he was sentenced. "For the past 26 to 28 months, me and my family have grown to realize the extent of hurt. If I could turn back the clock, I would. I will do my best to make amends and restitution."
He did not complete a financial statement, said Huber, and Marks told the court he was not able to begin the restitution.
"This was pretty serious stuff and the victims were hurt to a serious degree," said Conrad. He ordered Marks to file the financial statement within 10 days and to begin restitution payments while in prison, using income from a prison job. And he ordered a "rigorous" four years of probation.
"I believe he is remorseful," said Heblich outside the courthouse. Marks will self-report to prison.

Wes Anderson, at 43, is still grappling with adolescence. How else to explain Moonrise Kingdom, his latest foray into the territory he carved out so winningly in Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums?
It's a pleasure to report that this time Anderson's screenplay has girls in it. Boys and girls go so well together. The year is 1965. Suzy (Kara Hayward, in her screen debut) is a precocious but bored teenager who adores Françoise Hardy records and young-adult fiction and yearns to escape her stifling family on the made-up island of New Penzance, off Massachusetts. Her parents are carefully and unmistakably identified as lawyers. Suzy's partner in love and mischief is Sam (Jared Gilman, also a first-timer), even more of a middle-aged soul trapped in a child's body (he's an orphan), suffering through a session at Khaki Scout camp. He's a bed wetter, but he understands knots.
Sam and Suzy run away together and elude the annoying adult authority figures — variously played by Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban — as long as they can on the tiny island, enacting their own Native-American pageant and always creeping up on, but never arriving at, the sex act. Their brief moment of freedom isn't much fun for the poor kids. In fact, it looks just as dreary as their home lives. These little suckers are blocked.
Moonrise Kingdom belongs to the far-fetched end of the Anderson filmography, the place where The Darjeeling Limited and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou came from. The place where the characters' arch dialogue — written by the director and Roman Coppola — clumps up the landscape, and where the precious art direction is more interesting than the story. It might have been better as an animation, à la Fantastic Mr. Fox. But then we'd miss out on young actress Hayward's sublimely mortified expression, the essence of this sad, dry exercise. A step backward for Anderson.

Trying to avoid laying a big fat egg, I've been playing around with playing through a PA etc - mocking up the real show. As a result - here's a pic of what I put together as my open mic starter kit (it's still 3 weeks off, but fingers crossed) ...any of you all remember when you were green enough that this was a big deal to you?

The first of the seven HC-130Hs that are being transferred from the Coast Guard to the U.S. Forest Service will arrive at Forest Service Air Station McClellan (FSAS MCC) in mid-June, not mid-May as originally planned. And yes, that is what the Forest Service is calling their facility at McClellan Airport in Sacramento, California.
The aircraft will still be a work in progress when it lands at MCC. It will not have the paint job as seen above, but will be gray and white with U.S. Forest Service Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System MAFFS markings, according to Jennifer Jones, a USFS spokesperson for the USFS. The gravity-based retardant tank will not have been installed, so it will be temporarily operating with a MAFFS pressurized 3,000-gallon tank. It will also need to depart at some point for scheduled Programmed Depot Maintenance, painting, and retardant tank installation.
The USFS expects that it will be available to fly firefighting missions by August. It will usually be be restricted to fires within 500 nautical miles (575 miles) of MCC so that it can return there each day where both the USFS contract maintenance and U.S. Coast Guard support crews will be located. Missions at a greater distance and staying away from the base will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
A second HC-130H is expected to arrive at MCC in August and will only be used for flight crew training. It will also be a work in progress but should be sporting the new USFS paint scheme. Its Programmed Depot Maintenance will have been completed but it will still need to have a gravity-based retardant tank installed.
We are now using the model name "HC-130H" for these aircraft originally purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard. The first "H" indicates that it is an extended-range, search and rescue variant of the C-130 Hercules. It cruises slightly faster than the C-130H and has twice the range, capable of flying from Missoula, Montana to London non-stop. According to Wikipedia, the HC-130H has the following performance characteristics:
Maximum speed: 330 knots (380 mph, 611 km/h)
Cruise speed: 290 knots (333 mph, 537 km/h)
Range: 4,500 nm (5,178 mi, 8,334 km)
Service ceiling: 33,000 ft (10,000 m)
The first two aircraft to arrive at MCC this summer are 27 and 31 years old. If, after various federal government agencies invest up to $130 million in the conversion of the aircraft, and if the USFS keeps them for 20 years, at that point they will be about the same age as the P2Vs that have been falling out of the sky at an alarming rate over the last 15 years.
We are not sure which HC-130H will arrive first (we are guessing T-118) but here are more details:
- Air Tanker 118
- Coast Guard #1721
- Lockheed Martin SN 5121
- Transferred from Lockheed to the USCG 6/16/1988
- Hours: 5,194
- The center wing box will not be replaced at the Programmed Depot Maintenance due to the low number of hours
- Air Tanker 116
- Coast Guard #1708
- Lockheed Martin SN 5002
- Transferred from Lockheed to the USCG 9/17/1984
- Hours: 22,807
- The center wing box will be replaced at the Programmed Depot Maintenance
Contract for air crew
A $6 million contract for air crews to fly the aircraft was awarded April 27, 2015 to CASS Professional Services Corp, headquartered in Temecula, California. The following jobs will be initially filled for a nine month period with options to extend the term of the contract for an additional two years.
- 1 C-130H Qualified Contractor Aircrew Project Manager
- 2 MAFFS II Qualified Instructor Pilots,
- 1 US Coast Guard Qualified Flight Engineer Instructor, or US Air Force Qualified FE Instructor
- 2 MAFFS II Qualified Load Master Instructors
Retardant tank
The Air Force has issued a solicitation for gravity-based fire retardant tanks:
…design, manufacture, and installation of a 3,500 gallon Retardant Delivery System (RDS) for seven (7) HC-130H aircraft. There will be a basic contract with one (1) trial kit/install, one (1) verification kit/install, and three (3) production kits/install. There will be an option for two (2) additional production kits/installs. Effort includes but is not limited to: RDS development, manufacture and installation, structural modifications, and maintenance and inspection plans.
The upper portion of the tank above the floor will be removable and have the ability to disperse 3,500 gallons.
Contract for maintenance
A contract for maintenance of the aircraft is being advertised now with a response date of May 29, 2015. The contractor must provide a total of 17 mechanics and avionics/electrical technicians in the Primary, Secondary, and Back Shop crews. The contract will initially be for a nine month period (June 1 through January), with options to extend for an additional two full years. Services will be provided five days a week during the non-fire season, and seven days a week during the fire season.
The other five HC-130H aircraft
Most of the work on the one or two aircraft that will initially be operated as MAFFS is being done at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia and at the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center in North Carolina.
Jennifer Jones told us that the location of the work that will be done on the other five HC-130Hs will be determined once the U.S. Air Force has awarded a contract for it. Work that needs to be done on these aircraft includes demilitarization; performing wing and airframe modifications; designing, contracting for, manufacturing and installing retardant tanks; and equipping them with radios, Aircraft Flight Following, and other equipment. The U.S. Air Force will perform center and outer wing-box replacement modifications, programmed depot-level maintenance, and modifications necessary to procure and integrate a gravity fed aerial fire retardant delivery system (RDS) in each aircraft before they can be brought into U.S. Forest Service operation for firefighting missions.

Is Derek Jeter the Final Piece to Yankees Pulling Off Late-Season Surge?August 21, 2013
The New York Yankees have been a curious case all year.
Despite the injuries and distractions, the Yankees aren't out of the playoff race yet, sitting 6.5 games back in the AL East and five games back in the wild card.
Now, Derek Jeter is getting closer to returning:
Jeter originally broke his left ankle during the ALCS in October. He's had multiple setbacks this year, including a strained right quadriceps and a calf injury.
Despite that, the Yankees have stayed afloat with Jeter on the DL for most of the year.
Ever since the acquisition of Alfonso Soriano, the Yankees seem to be hitting better and have gone 12-11, including winning eight of their last 10.
But will the return of Jeter help the Yankees pull off a late-season surge?
The Schedule
Entering Wednesday, the Yankees still have a schedule where they can make a run.
With 30 of their remaining games against divisional opponents, series wins could translate into an improvement in the standings.
Still left are eight games with the Toronto Blue Jays, seven games each with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles, and six games with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Then there's the three-game series to end the year against the Houston Astros. If the Yankees are close to a playoff berth at that point, that series gives them a definite advantage.
Injuries Galore
Any competent Yankees fan knows what Jeter brings to the table. However, the biggest question has to be health.
If you recall, Jeter suffered a small crack near his fractured ankle during spring training. That forced him on the disabled list until July 11. Then, in his first game back, Jeter suffered a quad strain, landing him back on the DL.
He returned on July 28, only to go back on the DL eight days later with a calf strain.
The last two can be attributed to age. After all, Jeter is 39 and no longer a spring chicken.
Jeter can bring a lot to the lineup, but he has to be able to stay healthy to do so.
If fans are depending on Jeter to be that final piece to push them over the top, then they're only going to be disappointed.
Jeter hasn't shown he can stay healthy this year and that's what the Yankees need.
The team is in a good rhythm right now and should keep it up without Jeter on the field.
It must be noted, the Yankees are 10-1 against the Blue Jays this year, while holding a 6-7 record against the Rays and a 5-7 record against the Red Sox and Orioles.
If they can improve just a little against the other teams in the division (outside of the Blue Jays), the Yankees will be there.
However, it won't be because of Jeter.

Getting to Sabi Sand
Find out the best way of getting to the Sabi Sand with Safari Online, your Sabi Safari experts.
Set next to the Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand lies about 500 kilometres (300 miles) east of Johannesburg. Although it is possible to self-drive there from Johannesburg, it is not recommended as the easiest, quickest or even cheapest option. On the other hand, two local airports and a host of private airstrips means that getting to Sabi Sand by air is fast, safe and simple.
Safari Online advises you to either fly directly from Johannesburg to your Sabi Sand accommodation or go via one of the two airports in the area – Hoedspruit or Nelspruit's Kruger International Airport. Each airport is about an hour's flight from Johannesburg after which you then enjoy a short air or road transfer to your lodge; everything is arranged by us.
It is also possible to get to the Sabi Sand from Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Mozambique and Durban.
Getting to Sabi Sand from Johannesburg
The quickest and most direct way to get to the Sabi Sand is from Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport. Twice daily shuttle flights connect with most airstrips in the reserve; you can leave your Johannesburg hotel after breakfast and sit down to lunch in the Sabi Sand a couple of hours later.
You can also fly to Hoedspruit or Nelspruit Airports from Johannesburg and switch to an overland or charter plane transfer to your chosen Sabi accommodation – we'll advise you on the best one for your itinerary and budget.
Getting to Sabi Sand from Cape Town, Durban & Mozambique
A daily flight from Cape Town to Nelspruit combines Africa's favourite city with the best Big 5 game viewing on the continent. You can also add an Indian Ocean beach holiday onto your Sabi safari thanks to regular flights between Nelspruit and Durban, not to mention Vilanculous in Mozambique – gateway to the magnificent Bazaruto Archipelago.
Getting to Sabi Sand from Victoria Falls
A regular regional flight between Zambia's Livingstone International Airport and Nelspruit means you can marvel at mighty Victoria Falls before or after your Sabi Sand safari, either as a stand-alone experience or as part of a big game safari in Botswana or Zambia.
Please note that Safari Online does not book international flights but we do organise all your regional and domestic flights. These flights are usually included in our pre-packaged tours; if you want to create your own itinerary, then we will be happy to make the necessary flight and transfer bookings for you.
