By Fox 2 News StaffDETROIT (WJBK) -- It might have been frigid and snowy, but a group of cyclists in Detroit braved the elements and observed Martin Luther King, Junior Day with a special bike ride.Victoria Katanski with Tour de Troit told Fox 2's Roop Raj what was on the itinerary."Martin Luther King's first ["I Have a Dream"] speech was in Detroit," Kantanski said. "What we're doing is basically winding around the city going through areas that have memorials to the people that were present at the original speech.""I think the point we're just trying to make is that Detroit's a strong community," she added. "All of these people are coming, some of them are from the suburbs, some of them from downtown, some from the neighborhoods in which we're riding through, and that we're strong and it doesn't matter, we're just going to have a good time together."Kantanski said she anticipated around 200 people would participate in the ride.

Hi there,
just a quick question to gather some ideas. There´s the need to change the password of an application role. Is there any way to store the new password not in plain text in the update script?Best regards Dirk

You can certainly use some programming language and make an executable file. SQL Packager is a good tool that can be helpful. You would be able to make an EXE file or open it as 2 C# project. But still the command could be traceable with use of Profiler etc.

If you use ALTER APPLICATION ROLE, then the password will not be shown in the profiler.

Abraham Ortelius. "La Florida. Auctore Hieron. Chiaves."/ "Peruviae Aurieferae Regionis Typus. Didaco Mendezio Auctore."/ "Guastecan Reg." From Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Antwerp, [1584]. 6 x 8 3/4; 13 x 8 3/4; 6 3/4 x 8 3/4, respectively. Overall 13 x 18. Engraving. Original hand color. Very good condition. French text on verso.
A three-part map of the New World by Abraham Ortelius, the 'father of modern cartography.' Of particular importance is the first printed map of the American southeast, the fascinating "La Florida," as the southeast was called at the time, stretching along the Atlantic from the Carolinas to the Mexican coast. This map is based on actual information gathered during De Soto's explorations of the area in the early 1540s, and it presents the first printed image of the interior of the American southeast, showing Indian settlements, mountains and waterways discovered by De Soto. The other two maps on the sheet are of present-day Peru (the source of gold and silver for the Spanish) and eastern Mexico. Together, the three maps describe in wonderful detail and decorative form the most significant parts of the New World in the second half of the sixteenth century. They show the source of Spanish gold in three juxtaposed panels that are fit together to convey maximum cartographic information. The maps are the unmistakable work of Abraham Ortelius, considered to be one of the two greatest cartographers of the sixteenth century, and whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was the first modern atlas. This printing first appeared in the third supplement to the atlas, the 1584 Additamentum. Containing the earliest printed map of the southeast and with two other maps of regions of central importance to early American history, this is a map of highest interest to the American collector. $2,850
Jodocus Hondius. "Virginiae Item et Floridae Americae Provinciarum, nova Descriptio." Amsterdam: J. Hondius, [1606]-1636. 13 1/2 x 19. Engraving. Full hand color. Very good condition. German text on verso.
An important "mother map" of early American cartography. Showing the southeastern region of the present-day U.S., this was the prototype map of the area for over fifty years, and had an impact on the cartography of the region until the middle of the eighteenth century. In this map, Hondius combined the information from two important source maps, one of "Florida" by Jacques le Moyne in 1591, and one of old "Virginia" by John White in 1590. The Le Moyne map was drawn by one of the few survivors of the aborted French attempt at settlement in Florida in 1564, and the White map was drawn by the Governor of the group that tried to establish a colony on Roanoke. Thus the information exhibited in Hondius' map, first issued in 1606, closely reflects first-hand data from the earliest attempts at settlement in the region, and for this alone it would be of great significance. Interestingly, because of Hondius' position as one of the leading publisher-cartographers of the day, it was his compiled map, rather than the source maps by White and Le Moyne, that was copied by other cartographers for most of the rest of the century.
Hondius combined the information from the two source maps as best he could, following White's coastal outline in the north including his first depiction of the Chesapeake Bay, and showing Le Moyne's "Apalatchy" mountain range, which, he noted, was gold bearing and contained a large waterfall. In his compilation, Hondius introduced some mistakes of his own, errors that would have a great influence on subsequent maps. First, he put the two maps together too closely, leaving out a large stretch of coastline between the Outer Banks and Florida. Also, Hondius straightened the bend of the River May from Le Moyne's map, thus putting its source lake, probably Lake George in Florida, into interior Georgia in the middle of the 'Apalatchy' Mountains. This erroneously placed lake, later named "Apalache," continued to appear in that area on maps into the eighteenth century. Besides its fascinating topographical features, the map abounds with decorative flourishes that make it one of the most attractive early American maps. Vignettes taken from De Bry's works show two Indians in full native dress, a dugout canoe off the coast, and two Indian villages, one from the Florida region and one from the Carolina region. The village vignettes appear as part of a lovely title cartouche in the upper left using motifs based on the strapwork style of the Dutch leatherworkers, and balanced by a smaller cartouche of the same style in the lower right. The decorative aspects are wonderfully finished off by depictions of a turkey and two deer on land, and sea monsters and sailing vessels at sea. Historically of seminal impact and aesthetically unsurpassed, this is an excellent early American map. OUT ON APPROVAL JC
John Speed. "America with those parts in that unknowne worlde both people and manner of buildings Discribed and inlarged by J.S. Ano. 1626." From A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World. London: George Humble, [1626]-1627. First state. 15 1/2 x 20 1/5. Engraving by Abraham Goos. With a few light stains. Otherwise, very good condition. English text on verso. Burden: 217 (1).
The rare first state of one of the most decorative and interesting maps of North and South America from the seventeenth century. It was produced by the English cartographer John Speed (1552-1629). Speed is well known for his county maps of Great Britain, but in his Prospect of the World he issued fine maps of other parts of the globe, many of which were decorated with illustrations of native costumes and principal cities of the areas shown. This map of the western hemisphere is the most famous of this type, with views of eight cities in the Americas, as well as ten depictions of natives from the various regions, including the northern, middle and southern parts of the eastern coast of North America.
These superb decorative and historical vignettes provide a perfect frame for Speed's interesting cartographic rendering of the Americas. Considerable detail is shown in South and Central America and the eastern parts of North America, including indications of the Chesapeake, Delaware and Hudson Bays. It is for its depiction of California as an island, however, that this map is particularly famous, for this is the first atlas map upon which this misconception appeared and Speed's depiction of the island was thus a major contributing factor in the longevity of this notorious myth. The final flourishes of the map are the myriad small etched ships, sea monsters and flying fish shown in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Speed's maps were issued uncolored, though most of subsequently been colored by dealers or collectors. This is a rare example of the map as issued, and it is a classic combination of best decorative and historic aspects of antique maps. $8,500
Jan Jansson. "Virginiae partis australis, et Floridae partis orientalis." Amsterdam: J. Jansson, 1639. 15 x 19 3/4. Engraving. Original hand color. Very good condition. French text on verso.
A beautiful map that is one of the most interesting maps of the American southeast. The map is based upon the Jodocus Hondius' map of the same area-Jansson was Hondius' son-in-law-with some updating. This shows the influence of the Hondius map, and the way his map led to an extensive dissemination of both its correct information and its errors. Hondius's map was a combination of information from two sixteenth century maps, one of the Carolinas, and one of the northern Florida/Georgia region. These were combined, and in the process many errors were introduced, not the least of which was the straightening out of the St. John's River so that it flowed from an non-existent lake located to the northwest of the mouth of the river. This lake, which would become Lake Apalachy, appeared on this and other maps well into the eighteenth century. Jansson's map is updated from the Hondius version, including coats-of-arms to indicate the spheres of influence claimed by the French in the Georgia region and the British in the Carolinas. Jansson follows Hondius in the south, but he more accurately depicts the coast in the Carolinas, based on Hessel Gerritsz's map of 1631, and has a more correct image of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, indicating for the first time "Newport nesa [i.e. News]." This map shines not only in its interesting cartographic history, but also in its decorative appeal. It is a particularly fine example of the aesthetics of 17th-century Dutch cartography. The elegant calligraphy and compass roses combine with the ships in the sea and the rhumb lines in wonderful embellishment. The fully colored title and scale cartouches, the latter which shows naked putti and the former half-naked natives, add a final flourish that makes the map a delight to look at. All in all an historic map that is a very fine decorative example of the great age of Dutch cartography. $2,400
Nicolas Sanson. "Amerique Septentrionale." Paris: Mariette, [1650]-1659. Third state. 15 1/2 x 22. Engraving. Original hand color. Mark extending into image in top center and a few minor marginal blemishes. Else, very good condition. Burden #294, state 3. Denver.
This is one of the most significant maps of North America, and the first map to show all five Great Lakes. Nicolas Sanson, known as the 'father of French cartography,' is one of the great figures in the history of cartography. Beginning his mapmaking career at the age of 18, Sanson went on to be appointed the first geographer-royal to Louis XIII of France (1640). Due to his royal position Sanson had access to the official French records of the explorations in the New World and used this information to establish himself at the forefront of the mapping of the Americas. Following the expeditions of Champlain in the 1620s, a new picture came to Europe of the interior of North America. Sanson was the first to compile this information, from Champlain and the Jesuits that followed him, into an depiction that included all five Great Lakes.
This is the map that first represented all of the lakes, and the first to name Lake Superior and Lake Ontario. The map shows the complete extent of the Jesuit exploration and mapping of the region. Besides its importance concerning the Great Lakes, this map is also significant for its depiction of the trans-Mississippi west, and its naming of the Indian tribes before the great dispersions of the 1640's and 1650's. Though erroneous, the maps graphically shows California as an island, one of the most famous myths about North America. This map established the predominant image of North America for the remainder of the 17th century. Its significance is reflected in that its original date of publication, 1650, is usually given as the date of the switch in cartographic dominance from The Netherlands to France. This is the third state of the map where Lake Ontario is now shaded like the other Great Lakes. OUT ON APPROVAL JC
Alexis Hubert Jaillot after Nicholas Sanson. "Amerique Septentrionale." Paris: A. H. Jaillot, 1692. 21 5/8 x 34 3/8. Engraving by Robert Cordier. Some light, original outline color. A few light spots/worn areas and some soft creasing along centerfold. Overall, very good condition and appearance. McLaughlin California As An Island, 55-1.
A striking 17th-century map that shows the development of early modern cartography. Jaillot, in re-engraving and publishing the then less widely known work of his compatriot Nicolas Sanson, brought French cartography forward to compete with the hitherto unchallenged work of the Dutch. This beautiful map of North America illustrates the beginnings of the precise and scientific mapping associated with the French. Sanson was the first to show all five Great Lakes, which reflects Sanson's concern to get as current information as was available, and his map of 1669, upon which this is based, was the best of North America of the time. Jaillot received permission to re-engrave Sanson's maps on a larger scale and this is the first edition of his effort, following Sanson closely.
Still, many geographic misconceptions were prevalent at the time, and these are well illustrated here. Most noticeable is the depiction of California as an island, but we can also find the legendary Cibola and Quivira depicted in the interior of the continent. A non-existent mountain range crosses the middle of the continent and the equally mythical Apalache Lake resides in the southeast. West of California is a large land of Jesso, and to the north Sanson gives a strong hint at the existence of a northwest passage out of Hudson's Bay, and he also shows the alleged Frobishers Strait running through the tip of Greenland. The decorative flourishes remain strong, but they are confined to the elaborate Baroque cartouches, gracing the left side of the map. With its attractive cartouches, and curious mixture of accurate and illusionary geography, this is much a map of its time. $2,800
Pierre Mortier. "Carte Nouvelle De L'Amerique Angloise Contenant La Virginie, Mary-Land, Caroline, Pensylvania Nouvelle Iorck, N: Iarsey N: France, et Les Terres Nouvellement Decouerte. Amsterdam: P. Mortier, 1698(?). 23 1/4 x 35 3/4. Engraving. Excellent, original hand color. Excellent condition.
A striking, large sized map of the eastern part of North America, allegedly derived by Mortier from the work of Nicolas Sanson, though there is no evidence other than the title attribution that this geographical conception was ever held by Sanson. This map is wonderful in its illustration of the various geographic misconceptions of the late seventeenth century. Interestingly, it is one of the few maps to show the Mississippi River entering the western end of the Gulf instead in the middle as it actually does. This feature appeared on maps for only about 30 years, the result of a hoax perpetrated by La Salle in an attempt to make a settlement at the mouth of the river look strategically important-in being near to the Spanish ports in Mexico-thus lending added weight to his plan of developing a French Empire along the great North American inland waterways. Also shown are 'Ashley Lake,' the 'Savana,' and the 'Desert Arenosa,' the three notorious errors derived from the reports of John Lederer.
There are myriad other interesting geographic oddities of the period which appear on the map, especially in the mid-west region. The Great Lakes are depicted essentially the same as on the map of 'the English Empire' by Robert Morden, 1695(?), and these two maps are the first to show one of the most mysterious geographic mistakes in the mapping of America, viz. the prominently illustrated mountain range running through the Michigan peninsula and down all the way into Florida. While the connection of the Michigan chain with Florida was soon severed, the mountains in the peninsula appeared on maps even into the nineteenth century. The origin of this chain is still a puzzle that continues to baffle cartographic scholars. All in all, a fascinating document showing the state of 'knowledge' of North America at the end of the seventeenth century. $4,800
Pierre Mortier. "Carte Nouvelle De L'Amerique Angloise..." Amsterdam: P. Mortier, 1698(?). 23 3/8 x 18 1/4. Line engraving. Hand color. Some soft creases. Top right corner of margin chipped off. Otherwise, very good condition.
A single sheet version of the Mortier map above, lacking the right sheet of eastern Canada. Shows most of what is today the eastern part of the United States. $2,850
A. H. Jaillot. "Carte Particulaire de Virginie, Maryland, Pennsilvanie, La Nouvelle Iarsey Orient et Occidentale." Amsterdam: Pierre Mortier, 1700. 20 x 31. Engraving. Original hand color. Wide margins. Light scattered spots. Overall, very good condition. Framed. [Note picture is through glass of frame.]
An attractive, large scale sea chart of the area around the Chesapeake Bay from Norfolk to New York. The son of French parents, Mortier was born in France but lived and worked in Amsterdam (1661-1722). A bookseller and publisher from about 1685, he entered into the map-trade in 1690 and soon became known as a publisher of some of the finest maps of the period. Though there is no definite attribution, this map was derived by Jaillot from the work of two Englishman, William Fisher and John Thornton. These two men published in 1689 what was to become for over one hundred years, a virtually unaltered sailing chart of the Chesapeake area. This map improved upon earlier maps showing greater detail of soundings, sand bars, and new place names, especially along the Virginia coast, that was not previously known. This map was, therefore, one of the most accurate of its time.
This map is a sea chart that was part of Mortier's Le Neptune Francois, and it has a western orientation, as this is the way one would see the land as one sailed towards it from Europe. The map shows the coastline from below Cape Henry to Staten Island, naming nearly every creek and inlet along these coasts. Interesting details of this map include the presence of sand bars and a "sunken marais [marsh]" off-shore of Staten Island (no Manhattan shown); the wealth of detail throughout the Chesapeake Bay; the amount of settlement along the James and York Rivers; and the recognition of Philadelphia as the only city of any substance. The rose compasses and rhumb lines along with the hand coloring, make the map very attractive. Unusually large for a sea chart, the map was obviously intended as something of a showpiece. Decoratively and historically a show-stopper. $8,500

As the administration struggles to make Obamacare work, perhaps the most pressing job for the White House is to convince young people -- the so-called "young invincibles" -- to purchase health insurance. The system has to have young, healthy customers paying for insurance -- but not actually needing much care -- to keep rates down for older, sicker customers who do need care. Without that balance, rates could skyrocket and Obamacare could collapse.
So, for months the administration has been working to reach young people, through videos, special events, and social media appeals. But there's one thing the campaign has not featured: the personal testimony of Barack Obama. In fact, it appears the president might not be the example the White House wants to set for young people.
"Look, I do remember what it's like being 27 or 28," Obama said at the White House Youth Summit earlier this month, "and aside from the occasional basketball injury, most of the time I kind of felt like I had nothing to worry about." Now, however, the president is encouraging young people to worry. His own carefree attitude as a young man, Obama continued, "is what most people think until they have something to worry about. But at that point, oftentimes it's too late."
The president's message to young people, he said, is to "remember and remind your friends and your peers — imagine what happens if you get sick, what happens with the massive bills."
It's not clear whether the president had health coverage as a young man. He made no mention of it in his memoir Dreams From My Father, which covered his college years, his brief stint in business after graduation, his decision at 24 to become a community organizer, and his decision at 27 to attend Harvard Law School. The question is also absent from David Maraniss' biography of Obama, which covers his life through the community organizing years.
Obama did discuss health insurance and health care in several places in his campaign tract The Audacity of Hope, including one personal episode from 2001 in which he and wife Michelle feared that their younger daughter Sasha, then just three months old, might have had meningitis. They took her to an emergency room for evaluation, where it turned out she did not have the potentially fatal disease. "Unlike millions of Americans who've gone through a similar ordeal, I had a job and insurance at the time," Obama wrote. At that point, Obama was 40 years old and established in his career.
On Wednesday I asked the White House whether the president had purchased health insurance during his young invincible years. After checking, a spokesman said he wouldn't have an answer to the question. So it's not clear what the president's story is. But it is clear that when it comes to the young purchasing health care, Barack Obama is not holding himself up as an example of what to do.

Recently, I finally started making use of the gym membership that has surreptitiously been costing me hundreds of dollars a year (so much beer money gone to waste). Unfortunately the hard part about working out isn't the actual joules of energy being expended; rather it's how self-conscious an exercise going to the gym truly is (see what I did there? Eh? Eh?). In an effort to placate my own insecurities I now present to you the ten commandments of your local gymnasium.
1) Thou shalt have twenty minutes to wrap it up when I walk in the door. When I get on the tread mill I'm only doing twenty minutes…that's about all my heart can take. Don't make me feel bad by running an extra 10 minutes after I've already finished up.
2) Thou shalt keep the grunting to a minimum gentleman. I know that 17.5 lb free weight is a challenge, but you're not Serena Williams and this isn't Wimbledon.
3) Thou shalt give it more then 3 minutes on the Stairmaster before weighing thineself again. It takes at least 13 minutes before one begins seeing results.
4) Thou shalt not sit on a machine when 'tis not in use. You're not a mother Whooping crane incubating your eggs, take a little walk and keep it loose.
5) Thou shalt never enter the sauna. Aren't five "Final Destinations" enough to prove that high temperature rooms, with locking doors, are never to be trusted?
6) Thou shalt leave the gym and never return if all eight abdominal muscles are present and accounted for, you're making the rest of us look bad.
7) Thou shalt give thanks everyday to the man who invented yoga pants.
8) Thou shalt not stare at thineself in the mirror for more then 22 seconds; a little narcissism doesn't hurt anyone, but don't overdo it.
9) Thou shalt always wipe down the machine thoroughly after each use. It's not that I don't like your scent, I just prefer my own.
10) And finally, thou shalt not utter the words "do you even lift bro?" in anyway other than jest.

A nationally recognized campaign, EDAW was implemented to educate the public about eating disorders and body issues, and to alert victims to readily-available help.
With approximately five to ten million female cases of eating disorders and approximately one million male cases nationwide, a week celebrating healthy practices and body images is vital. The main goal of EDAW is to provide sufferers of eating disorders with the resources with which they can seek treatment.
When identifying problems in a college atmosphere, studies show that one in 20 college-age women struggle with an eating disorder.
The abundance of freedom and lack of supervision can allow harmful self-esteem and unhealthy eating habits to go undiagnosed. These behaviors can intensify when one surrounds oneself with people that harbor the same qualities.
In honor of EDAW, the St. Olaf Wellness Center is promoting consciousness around campus as to the scope and severity of these diseases.
Mondays events include a showing of the video Killing Me Softly 3, which illustrates viewer susceptibility to detrimental portrayals of women in the media.
Tuesday, Kay Guidarelli, a nutritionist from the Wellness Center, is scheduled to give her talk entitled Get Real about Healthy Eating.
Wednesday, the Wellness Center will offer an eating disorder screening, which involves a video about the signs and symptoms of the disorders, a questionnaire meant to target the symptoms at a more personal level and an individual interview with a counselor to discuss the results of the questionnaire.
The screening is not just for victims of the disorders, but for people with friends and family members who might be suffering from them. Peer educators will also be working that week, presenting their display of body cut-outs, called "Body Image and Beauty through Time." The cut-outs will be displayed in the breezeway between Buntrock Commons and Rolvaag Memorial Library.
Nicole Grunzke, a counselor with the St. Olaf counseling center, addressed the dire need for a week that targets peoples knowledge of such a serious issue. "Its everywhere; we arent aware of it and are so desensitized to it," she said.
Wellness Center staff are encouraged by an increased knowledge and a general willingness of students to seek help. "The more awareness the better," Grunzke said.
Grunzke stressed the need to have more knowledge of the seriousness of these diseases and the overwhelming repercussions that the unchecked eating disorders can have on every aspect of an affected persons life. The magnitude of these disorders can be downplayed on college campuses, which can lead to significant complications when treatment is not pursued.
In response to the myth surrounding eating disorders at St. Olaf, Grunzke confirmed that St. Olaf does not, in fact, have a higher rate of eating disorders than other schools, though the demands to be thin and beautiful are real.
"Its a real struggle for students here, and there are real pressures that perpetuate that," Grunzke said.
Despite these problems, Grunzke has a positive outlook. She recognizes that the week offers sufferers hope through the assurance that they are not permanently stuck in detrimental patterns of behavior.

Peeled in 2 days I got this because of the Pinterest reviews & store associate spoke highly of it. It does dry very quickly. I wash my hands atleast 4 times a day on average! My polish peeled within 2 days after I did my nails. I get better wear from In a Hurry top coat. August 2, 2014
Great Fast Drying Top Coat This is a fabulous drying top coat. I have tried them all and this is my favorite of all time. Not only do your nails dry quickly but the shine it leaves is beautiful with incredible staying power. I have used this product for many, many years and will continue to do so. The top cost is so good that you seldom have to redo your nails. My toenails, which I like to keep polished, always last a minimum of a month, usually more. When polished on artificial nails it lasts more than two weeks and I usually get a week when I use it on my real fingernails. I don't protect my nails when in water or it would probably last longer. I highly recommend this product and I don't think you will be sorry. May 20, 2014
My new favorite topcoat! I've used this twice now, and I'm in love! It dries so quickly, and makes my manicures last! I recently used my first glitter polish, and I used this topcoat. It lasted five days with no chipping! That's better than what I get with my old topcoat and non-glitter polish. I'll never buy another topcoat! January 2, 2014
Best Top Coat I've used Seche Vite top coat because of all the hype but I never liked how that one became so thick not even half way through the bottle. And when I used that the polish peeled off with in two days. I was on a hunt for a better top coat and I came across this one. This one hands down is way better than Seche Vite. I fell in love with the glossy finish it gives and it lasts forever. I love the way it feels too. Definitely recommend this one December 21, 2013

Parents choose to educate their children at home for a variety of reasons. This is not a decision to be taken lightly, as it means parents become responsible for all aspects of their child's education.
Parents' legal duty is set out in Section 7 of the 1996 Education Act as follows:
The parent of every child of compulsory school age shall cause him or her to receive efficient full time education suitable:
to his or her age, ability and aptitude
to any special educational needs he or she may have, either by regular attendance at school or otherwise.
The city council has a legal obligation to intervene where it appears a child is not receiving a suitable education.
The SEEDS group is an independent group of home educating families, which meets up to four times a week in the Southampton and surrounding areas. There are play (for the children) and chat (for the adults) meet-ups three times each week in local parks, and whole day trips or activities at least every term-time Friday. To find out more about how you can get involved with this group please visits the SEEDS link at the bottom of this page.
You will need to contact us using the details at the bottom of this page, and let us know that you want to educate your child at home. We will then send a letter to you making informal enquiries, and ask you to complete a form and return it to us.
If you agree to it, an Education Welfare Officer and the Elective Home Education Officer will visit you and prepare a report about your home education arrangements.
When we have received the Education Welfare Officer's report and any additional information from you, another visit will be arranged. This will be for you to discuss the learning programme you intend to follow with your child.
If the learning programme is satisfactory your child will be registered as being educated at home. If the learning programme is found to be unsatisfactory, you will be given three months to improve the programme. If the learning programme is again found to be unsatisfactory, the LA will issue a school attendance order.
For more information on teaching your child at home, please see the websites listed below.
Parents who choose home education are not entitled to any financial support for such things as books, materials, examination entries, work experience and further education courses taken during the period of statutory education.
Parents may decide to home educate their child from birth, so the child does not need to be enrolled at school.
However, if your child is already enrolled at a school, you must contact us to let us know that you are now teaching them from home.
Some parents introduce or re-introduce their children to school after a period of home education. If this is a possibility it may be helpful to follow a curriculum broadly similar to the national curriculum followed in schools.
If you have been teaching your child at home and now wish to enrol them in school, please contact the School Admissions Team.

I. Native Women
Over the centuries, women acquired knowledge of the natural world to produce almost everything their families needed. They understood what plants and animals were nutritious -- and which were deadly poison. They developed dyes, medicines, pottery, cloth, and jewelry. Women used natural materials to make colored paints for tattoos that adorned both women and men. Clay was used to make both pottery and beads. The beads were embroidered on deerskin clothing and could also be used to make jewelry for the maker or for high-ranking women in the community.
Cultivation of crops was essential for the survival of the tribe. Pamunkey women tilled the soil and planted such crops as tobacco, corn, beans, and various squashes. These crops, new to Europeans, would fundamentally change the world's diet. Planting corn was seen as an honorable task in Native American culture because of its many uses. Because women grew, harvested, and processed the corn, women owned it. Although Europeans settled in Virginia looking for gold, corn and tobacco would be the real treasures that they discovered from the Pamunkey.

Wonderful park with great owners. This campground is always improving, instead of stagnating like so many others. Cable was great with lots of channels, WiFi worked well and was fast, laser tag was a blast. Good, healthy atmosphere for the family. Been here before and will definitely be back.

Expert Review: Kimberley Expedition Aboard Orionby Chris Harter
The Kimberley region in Northwest Australia is to Australia what Alaska is to the United States. Both are vast territories considered the "last frontier" of their respective countries. Both are incredibly remote with little infrastructure due to their location, climate and topography. Both hold few year round modern settlements while still managing to have rich cultures and histories with their ancient indigenous populations. Both environments have prolific and varied marine and terrestrial wildlife populations, many of which are dwindling or absent entirely from their previous ranges due to disappearing habitats elsewhere. Both are on many a traveler's must see lists, and both can be a challenge to truly see and experience in a comfortable manner. Aside from these interesting similarities, Australia's Kimberley and the United State's 49th state are about as different as two places can be. Recently I was privileged to see the rugged and awesome wilderness landscape of the Kimberley on an eleven day expedition voyage from the luxurious appointments of our newest small ship, the M/S Orion. And what a trip it was!
Upon boarding the 106 passenger Orion it became immediately apparent just how comfortable and luxurious this trip would be as our cabin steward Eric gave us a familiarization tour of our very large suite cabin. As a vessel with more suites than staterooms, the Orion truly has no bad cabin aboard her with all cabins having spacious marble en suite facilities, flat screen TV and DVD/CD players, 24 hour room and concierge service, internet connectivity, mini refrigerator, ample closet and storage space, and ocean views. And that is just the cabins! The short list of additional amenities include al fresco dining (used often!), two cocktail bars, large outdoor Jacuzzi, modern workout room, on board masseuse and beautician, state of the art lecture room, ample observation deck space, sauna, extensive library with games and DVDs, infirmary, elevator and perhaps the friendliest and most attentive crew I have had the pleasure of getting to know. In addition to all the creature comforts aboard this incredible vessel, the meals and wine list alone made this a remarkable journey unto itself. The variety, freshness and creativity left us in awe each and every day.
Our first night in Australia found us in the remote mining and pearling outpost of Broome, where we were able to enjoy fantastic seafood, a jog on famous 10 mile Cable Beach and brief a wander through the charming downtown for look at the aboriginal and frontier influences that made this town what it is today. Upon boarding the Orion in Broome we immediately got under way heading north for Cape Leveque, the last road accessible location we would see for the next week. Before relaxing into our new environments all the passengers acquainted themselves with the vessel and took part in a mandatory safety briefing. With unpacking done and drinks in hand we all made our way to one of the upper decks to the first of many breathtaking sunsets before heading down for an incredible dinner, a theme that carried on throughout the trip. To provide a brief glimpse of the level of gastronomy that greeted us at every meal, our entre choices that evening were: Bay Scallops with shallot and basil butter, fillet of Tasmanian ocean trout on zucchini and carrot emulsion risotto or slow cooked Australian lamb loin on minted green pea and cannellini bean puree. Every night provided similarly difficult choices. Of course vegetarian options were provided as well, and were always equally enticing.
After a gorgeous al fresco breakfast start to our first morning aboard, we boarded the Orion's small fleet of inflatable zodiac vessels for a shuttle to the endless beach at Cape Leveque. Greeting us as we arrived were a small group of incredibly playful and inquisitive bottlenose dolphins who seemed to come nearer at the request of our naturalist guide with a whistle and gentle pat on the side of the zodiac. Once ashore we were left to simply relax on one of the whitest stretches of beach I have ever seen. Some passengers went for a jog, some swam in the calm azure waters, some listened to naturalist guide discourse, some snorkeled along a disappearing rocky outcrop, while others simply slept in the sun. As with all of our shore excursions, fresh towels, cold drinks, sunscreen and shuttles back to the vessel were available at all times. Due to the extensive range of the area's large and abundant salt water crocodiles this was to be our last swim in the ocean. After our morning of fun in the sun, a brief sail brought us to one of the most prolific bird breeding habitats in the world, the Lacepedes Island group. There with incredible light and welcomed cloud cover we witnessed the largest resident brown booby population on the planet measured in the hundreds of thousands with abundant sightings of Australian pelicans, lesser frigate birds, sooty oyster catchers and roseate terns all in the mix as well. It was an incredible first day for a trip that continued to surprise and surpass all expectations.
The second morning of our voyage brought us into truly incredible scenery between the red sandstone mesa formations of Raft Point and Montgomery Reef just offshore. The vistas here were both new and somehow familiar. Having spent my college years in the desert southwest, this region of Australia to me looked as if the ocean flooded into the mesas, canyons and buttes of southern Utah and northern Arizona. The coast of the Kimberley offers the stark beauty of these iconic American regions, but fringed with productive mangrove, reef and tidal river ecosystems. The contrast of these two habitats directly next to each other was truly incredible to witness. Again, we boarded our zodiacs to motor out 10 miles off shore amongst a natural spectacle, Montgomery Reef. The tides here are so severe that they can rise and fall as much as 33 feet causing a virtual waterfall of ocean water cascading off this reef system at low tide. With so much water and life moving the area becomes a vibrant food chain with birds and predator fish all waiting for food to present itself. As we drifted in the fast tidal rivers amongst the reef system we lost track of all the green turtle sightings. I know that we stopped counting at 38 from notes taken that day! After lunch and some time out of the sun we made landing at Raft Point for a hike to a saddle between two rock outcrops to our first look at one of the Aboriginal rock art galleries that the Kimberley is famous for. Our group was speechless as our knowledgeable Aboriginal art expert Darren discussed the significance of this particular gallery with it's depictions of the creation story and wildlife reverence. Another staggering day filled with stunning scenery, abundant wildlife and cultural and historical perspective that very few are fortunate enough to see.
The days aboard the Orion progressed much like this for another week with incredible sights and experiences all with the accompaniment of the Orion and her incredible crew as a back drop. We witnessed two hundred foot waterfalls, eagles catching fruit bats in mid-flight, hikes to crashed World War II era cargo planes and 40,000 year old Bradshaw rock art galleries, galloping rock wallabies, the area's famous saltwater crocs, bumpy zodiac rides in the geologic oddity known as the "Horizontal Waterfalls", expert lectures on geology, Australian ornithology, Aboriginal art and culture and much, much more. It truly was an "expedition" voyage into one of the most remote and unique places I have ever seen. I'd be happy to discuss all of the incredible experiences we had on our "Kimberley Expedition" and the other exotic and adventurous destinations that the M/S Orion and the new M/S Orion II sails to, just give a call!
