Nikon may be heading towards releasing medium format cameras as the company has recently patented a 100mm f/2.5 medium format lens.
The medium format is struggling to gather more customers. However, this is largely due to the limited offer and high prices. There are not many cameras to choose from and those which are available are very expensive.
Nikon 100mm f/2.5 medium format lens patent shows up in Japan
Canon is currently rumored to work on such a camera. Its specifications have not appeared on the web, while price tags and other details are unbeknownst as well.
Since Canon has taken an interest in the medium format, it is said that its biggest rival may be working on something like that, too. A Nikon 100mm f/2.5 lens has just been patented, but it is not aimed at mirrorless, APS-C, or full frame cameras. Instead, it has been designed for the medium format.
Patent details reveal regular 63-degree angle-of-view
The patent has been filed back in February 2012 with its approval being received on September 5, 2013. It certainly took a lot of time to be validated, but it may well be worth the wait.
Nikon 100mm f/2.5 medium format lens will provide an angle-of-view of about 63 degrees, which should be welcomed by photographers.
The lens construction details say that the lens features six elements, two of them being aspherical, in five groups.
Nikon also patents 10mm f/2 wide-angle lens for mirroress cameras
Another Nikon patent refers to a 10mm f/2 lens for 1-system mirrorless cameras. It is made out of nine lens elements arranged in seven groups with two aspherical elements.
This optic will provide a 35mm equivalent of about 28mm. The company is already selling a wide-angle lens for the CX mount. However, its aperture stands at f/2.8 and photographers could sure use a little extra light. It is not a full f-stop, even a little bit more light is useful most of the times.
Currently, the Nikkor 1 10mm f/2.8 is available at Amazon for $246.95 in black and white colors.
There is a bigger chance for the mirrorless lens to be released rather than the medium format one. Either way, they are not official and anything can happen, but do not expect it to happen too soon.

Canberra Day Official Programme - 1967
This month ArchivesACT has found an original copy of the 1967 Canberra Day Official Programme. As is often the case, this programme was not found on a file specifically related to Canberra Day but on the more general file 'A3811-1/15 - Bush Fire Council - Publicity - Displays and Demonstrations'. This file also has details on field days and parades that the ACT Bush Fire Council participated in from 1967 to 1972.
Background to Canberra Day
Canberra Day was established to commemorate the founding and naming of Canberra by Lady Denman on the 12th of March 1913. Discussion on establishing an official 'Canberra Day' began in the Canberra Times of 1933 leading to the Advisory Council publically supporting the concept in 1934. Newspapers of the time document this:

It wasn't until 1951 that Canberra Day festivities actually taking place were reported on. However these celebrations were part of the Jubilee Celebrations for that year and there was still no official Government recognition of Canberra Day as an annual event.

The first "public" celebration of Canberra Day took place in 1958 with an official reception at the Albert Hall held by the then Minister for the Interior, Mr Allen Fairhall. He described the reception as "the first public celebration of Canberra Day."(1)
He continued "A true celebration does not proceed from a decision by a Government. It is something that begins in the hearts and minds of the people. Whatever Government is in office, however, I hope Canberra Day will always be honoured for its significance in the building of the national capital." (1)
A recent event for Canberra Day is the release of ACT Government records from 20 years before by the Director of Territory Records. These records are now open to public access. At the same time ACT Cabinet records from 10 years before are also released.

Last Friday, Elizabeth Warren rolled out the details of her healthcare plan. She estimates the plan would create $20.5 trillion dollars in new federal spending over a 10-year period (although rivals like Joe Biden claim it would be much more than that). How does she plan to pay for that? Mainly by increasing taxes on employers.
Her plan would impose a new tax on employers equal to 98% of their current health care costs. Employers would calculate their contribution by averaging healthcare costs per employee over the last three years, multiplying that average by their total number of employees, and paying 98 percent of the total to the government. In effect, Warren's plan would shift employer healthcare payments from insurance companies to the government. Warren estimates that this tax would raise $8.8 trillion in new revenue over the next ten years.
Small businesses that do not offer their employees health insurance (those with fewer than 50 full-time employees are not required to do so by the Affordable Care Act) would be exempt from the tax. But those who currently offer their employees health insurance would have to pay it.
The plan would also eliminate health savings accounts, medical savings accounts, and employer deductions for medical expenses. These would all be unnecessary since healthcare premiums would be eliminated.
Warren's plan would also eliminate accelerated deductions that employers can take for capital investments. For example, section 168(k) of the Income Tax Code allows smaller businesses to deduct half the cost of purchasing certain property in the year that it is purchased. Warren's plan would eliminate that deduction and others like it.
The plan's goal would be to not increase employer healthcare spending, but instead transfer payments currently made to insurance companies to the government. Whether this is realistic is a matter of debate. One thing that is clear though is that an Elizabeth Warren presidency would almost certainly see higher taxes on employers.

The B3353 is a short B-road in west Wiltshire. The road was originally unclassified but gained its number in the late 1920s.
The route starts at a mini-roundabout on the A4 in Corsham and heads east along the residential Pickwick Road into the town centre. After passing the end of the High Street and a couple of mini-roundabouts later the road squeezes through South Place to reach a mini-roundabout where it turns right. A gateway to Corsham Court, now a mere pedestrian path, is just to the left.
Heading south, the road reaches its fifth mini-roundabout and then shortly afterwards crosses the Great Western Main Line, and the buildings become more intermittent before we reach the village of Gastard. The comically short 40 limit along this section of the road used to be longer, however the limit along much of the road was reduced to 30 along much of the previous section sometime in the early 2010's, which considering how narrow the road gets here and the fact that there's no pavement means that the reduction was probably quite well justified. There's a sharp right-hand bend by the pub and soon we reach open country. There's a view over the valley of the River Avon ahead but the road does not descend as steeply as might be expected. The road then runs past Whitley, which is separated by a golf course and a couple of fields from Shaw. The road ends at a signalised TOTSO on the A365 by the church.

Maybe the two of you visited Hawaii B.C. (Before Children), or maybe a trip to Hawaii has been the dream for years. There's no place on earth quite like this handful of sun-drenched mid-Pacific islands. The Hawaii of South Seas literature and Hollywood films really does exist. Here you'll find palm-fringed blue lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls, wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and volcanoes soaring 2 miles into the sky. And oh, those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands caressed by an endless surf. The possibilities for adventure -- and relaxation -- are endless. Each of the six main islands is distinct and infinitely complex. There's far too much to see and do on a 2-week vacation, which is why so many people return to the Aloha State year after year.
As a nearly life-long Hawaii resident, I'm letting you in on some of the secrets that Hawaii families enjoy. We live here because of the beauty, culture, and lifestyle of these precious islands. You don't have to be rich to live in Hawaii (although, as my mother says, "It sure helps"), to enjoy a quiet early morning walk on the beach just as the sun lights up the turquoise water, to smell the sweet fragrance of just-blooming ginger, or to hear the thundering music of a waterfall. Hawaii can be a place that teaches your kids to enjoy the richness of their senses, from the vibrant colors of a rainbow to the smell of a bamboo forest just after an afternoon rain squall.
Hawaii can also be a place of adventure, the opportunity for you and your children to try new things: snorkel in warm tropical waters filled with neon-colored fish, coast down a dormant (but not extinct) mountain, silently glide over calm waters in a double kayak, or soar through the air, stopping to hover over an exploding volcano in a helicopter.
Even the word "Hawaii" is magical all over the world, not only for the incredible beauty here but also for the culture and the lifestyle. This is a land founded by people who had immense respect for the island and the ocean. Their creed was a lifestyle of harmony and generous sharing. Millions of visitors flock to these islands every year because with all that's going on in the world today, they hunger for this harmony and generosity, which in Hawaii is referred to as the "aloha spirit."
All is not perfect in paradise. It is expensive in Hawaii: The islands sit in the middle of the Pacific, the most remote island chain in the world, and everything that is not grown or produced here has to be shipped or flown in -- so be prepared to pay more. And despite being part of the United States, things are definitely done differently in Hawaii -- that's why you've shelled out the money to give your family an opportunity to experience life here.
Part of raising a family is building memories that will last a lifetime. A trip to Hawaii will create memories not only of what you did, but of a lifestyle -- the way people related to each other, the way the ocean smelled in the early morning, the way the stars glittered at night, the way the multicolored flowers looked in the full sun, and the time your family spent in a very special place.
When in Hawaii . . .
Hawaii loves travelers -- they are the main industry, and a majority of Hawaii residents earn their living in the tourism industry or an industry closely connected to it. I love to pretend I'm a visitor when I travel around the state. Visitors are taken good care of and are treated like guests. Still, if you want to do as the Hawaiians do while you're in Hawaii, below are some helpful tips to help you blend in a little better:
Do not buy matching outfits. It has always puzzled me that seemingly normal people come to Hawaii and feel that the entire family has to be dressed in a carbon-copy set of aloha wear: matching aloha shirts for the boys that perfectly match the baggy muumuus for the girls. Look around: Do you see troops of families in replica outfits? That's not to say that you can't outfit your family in aloha wear -- just let each individual pick their own outfit.
Prepare for a variety of weather. In addition to the shorts and T-shirts you throw in the suitcase, pack some clothes to keep you warm, especially if you plan to visit the mountains in Hawaii. Yes, even in summer it is cold atop the mountains. At the ocean, after the sun sets, the temperature can drop and the wind can pick up. Whenever I'm at a sunset event on the ocean, I can always pick out the locals: They are the ones carrying sweaters because they know how the temperatures drop an hour after sunset.
Drive with aloha. Hawaiians probably drive slower than elsewhere, give way to other drivers, and never, never (never) use horns to signal dissatisfaction with another driver. (The only time locals use their horns is to greet someone they know.) And one more thing: If you are sightseeing and driving slowly, look in your rearview mirror to see if you are holding up traffic -- if so, please pull over and let the cars go by.
Be friendly. Reach your hand out and greet everyone. Local residents say, "How-zit?" meaning "Hello, how are you?" Tell people your name and ask for theirs.
Get out of resort areas and explore. Resorts are fabulous, but there is so much more to Hawaii. Rent a car and get out and drive. Stop along the way, talk to local residents, ask them what their favorite beach for snorkeling is, where they love to eat, and what they'd do if they had a day off.
Be appreciative. Hawaii locals just love compliments. If you like the store, restaurant, activity, even your hotel room -- tell the management. People in Hawaii are long on appreciation and admiration and short on criticism (even constructive criticism).
Smile. You're in Hawaii and it's warm and beautiful -- there's a lot to smile about.
Getting the Most Out of Our Advice
The purposes of this column are to help visitors get the most out of your trip to Hawaii, and to update local residents who want a refresher on all the activities for families. You won't find a lot of historical information or social commentary here. What you will find is opinions on the best places for families to stay, restaurants that welcome children, and a range of activities for all ages. I have purposely left out many chain restaurants and shops that your hometown may already have. You can go to them any time -- while you're in Hawaii, try to do things unique to Hawaii.
There are lots of islands in Hawaii, and each is unique. Read through each island chapter before you decide which island will best suit your family. Remember: Do not try to do more than one island a week; if you do, you'll have a vacation in interisland terminals instead of on beautiful beaches. The islands are far apart and it takes a full day to check out of your hotel, fly to another island, and check into a new hotel.
Once you decide which island you will explore, have a family planning session and choose the major things you want to see and do. Don't plan any more than one major activity a day, and leave at least a couple of days wide open. Pinpoint activities on a map -- does your plan make sense or are you crisscrossing the island unnecessarily? If you're on Oahu and driving to the Polynesian Cultural Center, for example, perhaps you can plan a stop at the North Shore for a picnic lunch.
When you arrive, allow yourself, especially the kids, time to recover from jet lag, Not only is Hawaii 2,500 miles and two time zones from the U.S. West Coast (three time zones during daylight saving time), but there's a huge change in climate and temperature. Plan nothing on the day you arrive, except checking into your hotel, maybe some beach time, an early dinner (remember the time change), and an early bedtime. Once you're ready to see the sights, be flexible.
So let's get started with planning the vacation of your dreams. For those too excited to page through from beginning to end, this chapter highlights the very best Hawaii has to offer.
Frommer's Favorite Hawaii Experiences
Hitting the Beach: A beach is a beach is a beach, right? Not in Hawaii. With 132 islets, shoals, and reefs, and a general coastline of 750 miles, Hawaii has beaches in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, including black. The variety on the six major islands is astonishing; you could go to a different beach every day for years and still not see them all.
Taking the Plunge: Don mask, fin, and snorkel and explore the magical world beneath the surface, where you'll find exotic corals and kaleidoscopic clouds of tropical fish; a sea turtle may even come over to check you out. Can't swim? That's no excuse -- take one of the many submarine tours offered by Atlantis Submarines (tel. 800/548-6262; www.go-atlantis.com) on Oahu, the Big Island, and Maui.
Meeting Local Folks: If you go to Hawaii and see only people like the ones back home, you might as well not have come. Extend yourself -- leave your hotel, go out and meet the locals, and learn about Hawaii and its people. Just smile and say "How-zit?" -- which means "How is it?" ("It's good," is the usual response) -- and you'll usually make a new friend. Hawaii is remarkably cosmopolitan; every ethnic group in the world seems to be represented here. There's a huge diversity of food, culture, language, and customs.
Feeling History Come Alive at Pearl Harbor (Oahu): The United States could turn its back on World War II no longer after December 7, 1941, when Japanese warplanes bombed Pearl Harbor. Standing on the deck of the USS Arizona Memorial (tel. 808/422-0561; www.nps.gov/usar) -- the eternal tomb of the 1,177 sailors and Marines trapped below when the battleship sank in just 9 minutes -- is a moving experience you'll never forget. Also in Pearl Harbor, you can visit the USS Missouri Memorial; World War II came to an end on the deck of this 58,000-ton battleship with the signing of the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945.
Watching for Whales: If you happen to be in Hawaii during humpback-whale season (roughly Dec-Apr), don't miss the opportunity to see these gentle giants. A host of boats -- from small inflatables to high-tech, high-speed sailing catamarans -- offer a range of whale-watching cruises on every island. One of my favorites is along the Big Island's Kona coast, where Captain Dan McSweeney's Year-Round Whale-Watching Adventures (tel. 888/WHALE-6 or 808/322-0028; www.ilovewhales.com) takes you right to the whales year-round. (Pilot, sperm, false killer, melon-headed, pygmy killer, and beaked whales call Hawaii home even when humpbacks aren't in residence.) A whale researcher for more than 25 years, Captain Dan frequently drops an underwater microphone or video camera into the depths so you can listen to whale songs and maybe actually see what's going on.
Creeping Up to the Ooze (Big Island): Kilauea volcano has been adding land to the Big Island continuously since 1983. If conditions are right, you can walk up to the red-hot lava and see it ooze along, or you can stand at the shoreline and watch with awe as 2,000°F (1092°C) molten fire pours into the ocean. You can also take to the air in a helicopter and see the volcano goddess's work from above.
Greeting the Rising Sun from atop Haleakala (Maui): Bundle up in warm clothing, fill a thermos full of hot java, and drive to the summit to watch the sky turn from inky black to muted charcoal as a small sliver of orange light forms on the horizon. There's something about standing at 10,000 feet, breathing in the rarefied air, and watching the first rays of sun streak across the sky. This is a mystical experience of the first magnitude.
Taking a Day Trip to Lanai (Maui): If you'd like to visit Lanai but have only a day to spare, consider taking a day trip. Trilogy (tel. 888/MAUI-800; www.sailtrilogy.com) offers an all-day sailing, snorkeling, and whale-watching adventure. Trilogy is the only outfitter with rights to Hulupoe Beach, and the trip includes a minivan tour of the little isle (pop. 3,500). You can also take Expedition's Lahaina/Lanai Passenger Ferry (tel. 800/695-2624; www.go-lanai.com) from Maui to Lanai, then rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle from Dollar Rent-A-Car (tel. 800/588-7808; www.dollar.com) for a day of backcountry exploring and beach fun.
Soaring Over the Na Pali Coast (Kauai): This is the only way to see the spectacular, surreal beauty of Kauai. Your helicopter will dip low over razor-thin cliffs, flutter past sparkling waterfalls, and swoop down into the canyons and valleys of the fabled Na Pali Coast. The only problem is that there's too much beauty to absorb, and it all goes by in a rush.
Watching Rainbows at a Waterfall: Rushing waterfalls thundering downward into sparkling freshwater pools are some of Hawaii's most beautiful natural wonders. If you're on the Big Island, stop by Rainbow Falls in Hilo, or the spectacular 442-foot Akaka Falls , just outside the city. On Maui, the road to Hana offers numerous viewing opportunities. At the end of the drive, you'll find Oheo Gulch (also known as the Seven Sacred Pools), with some of the most dramatic and accessible waterfalls on the islands. Kauai is loaded with waterfalls, especially along the North Shore and in the Wailua area, where you'll find 40-foot Opaekaa Falls, probably the best-looking drive-up waterfall on Kauai. With scenic mountain peaks in the background and a restored Hawaiian village on the nearby river banks, the Opaekaa Falls are what the tourist-bureau folks call an eye-popping photo op.
Smelling the Flowers in a Tropical Garden: The islands are redolent with the sweet scent of flowers. For a glimpse of the full breadth and beauty of Hawaii's spectacular range of tropical flora, I suggest spending a few hours at a lush garden. Two tropical havens not to be missed on Oahu include the 40-acre Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden , featuring 1,800 species of tropical plants, and the World Botanical Garden , showcasing some 5,000 species. On the Big Island, Liliuokalani Gardens , the largest formal Japanese garden this side of Tokyo, resembles a postcard from Asia, with bonsai, carp ponds, pagodas, and a moon gate bridge. On lush Kauai, Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens , about 240 acres in size, is sprinkled with some 70 life-size (some larger than life-size) whimsical bronze statues, hidden off the beaten path of the North Shore.
Exploring The Grand Canyon of the Pacific -- Waimea Canyon (Kauai): This valley, known for its reddish lava beds, reminds everyone who sees it of Arizona's Grand Canyon. Kauai's version is bursting with ever-changing color, just like its namesake, but it's smaller -- only a mile wide, 3,567 feet deep, and 12 miles long. This grandeur was created by a massive earthquake that sent streams flowing into a single river, which then carved this picturesque canyon. You can stop by the road and look at it, hike down into it, or swoop through it by helicopter.
The Best Ways to Enjoy Hawaiian Culture
Experiencing the Hula: For a real, authentic hula experience on Oahu, check out the Bishop Museum , which has excellent performances on weekdays. The first week after Easter brings Hawaii's biggest and most prestigious hula extravaganza, the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival , at Hilo on the Big Island; tickets sell out by January 30, so reserve early. In May, there's the Molokai Ka Hula Piko , at Molokai's Papohaku Beach Park, a wonderful daylong festival that celebrates the hula on the island where it was born.
Buying a Lei in Chinatown (Oahu): There's actually a host of cultural sights and experiences to be had in Honolulu's Chinatown. Wander through this several-square-block area with its jumble of exotic shops offering herbs, Chinese groceries, and acupuncture services. Before you leave, be sure to check out the lei sellers on Maunakea Street (near N. Hotel St.), where Hawaii's finest leis go for as little as $4.
Listening to Old-Fashioned "Talk Story" with Hawaiian Song and Dance (Big Island): Once a month, under a full moon, "Twilight at Kalahuipua'a," a celebration of the Hawaiian culture that includes storytelling, singing, and dancing, takes place oceanside at Mauna Lani Bay Resort (tel. 808/885-6622; www.maunalaniculture.org/twilight). It hearkens back to another time in Hawaii, when family and neighbors would gather on back porches to sing, dance, and "talk story."
Visiting Ancient Hawaii's Most Sacred Temple (Big Island): On the Kohala coast, where King Kamehameha the Great was born, stands Hawaii's oldest, largest, and most sacred religious site: the 1,500-year-old Mookini Heiau, used by kings to pray and offer human sacrifices. This massive three-story stone temple, dedicated to Ku, the Hawaiian god of war, was erected in A.D. 480. It's said that each stone was passed from hand to hand from Pololu Valley, 14 miles away, by 18,000 men who worked from sunset to sunrise. The best way to see this sacred site is to help out with the monthly cleanups when the Kahuna Nui, Momi Mo'okini Lum, is on-site.
Exploring Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park (Big Island): This sacred site on the south Kona coast was once a place of refuge and a revered place of rejuvenation. You can walk the same consecrated grounds where priests once conducted holy ceremonies, and glimpse the ancient way of life in pre-contact Hawaii in the re-created 180-acre village.
Visiting the Most Hawaiian Isle: A time capsule of Old Hawaii, Molokai allows you to experience real Hawaiian life in its most unsullied form. The island's people have woven the cultural values of ancient times into modern life. In addition to this rich community, you'll find the magnificent natural wonders it so cherishes: Hawaii's highest waterfall, its greatest collection of fishponds, and the world's tallest sea cliffs, as well as sand dunes, coral reefs, rainforests, and gloriously empty beaches. The island is pretty much the same Molokai of generations ago.

Nottingham-based theatre company New Perspectives presents three rarely staged plays for children by Ted Hughes, at West Yorkshire Playhouse this April.
The Tiger's Bones and other stories combines three short plays for children and in each Hughes explores weighty themes characterised in rich language and terrific humour. In The Coming of the Kings a greedy innkeeper is central in an original take on the nativity; Sean, the Fool, the Devil and the Cats is the former Poet Laureate's allegory to fair working and the treatment of workers, whilst The Tiger's Bones hints of the dangers of technological advancement.
Director Jack McNamara comments: "Stumbling across these rarely performed children's plays by Ted Hughes was like metal detecting treasure on a beach. They were everything I wanted children's theatre to be: beautiful, mysterious, funny and quite mad. They also have a deeply moral centre. Ted Hughes understands the intelligence of young audiences and offers them sophisticated themes usually reserved for adults, but with real lightness and invention."
The ensemble cast includes Ed Thorpe, who recently performed in Hood, a New Perspectives co-production with Nottingham Theatre Royal to celebrate the theatre's 150th anniversary. He is joined by New Perspectives newcomers Heather Dutton whose most recent credits performed in Bryony Lavery's adaptation of Treasure Island at the National Theatre and Primetime at the Royal Court; George Eggay, who has an extensive stage, film and television career both in regional theatre and in London and Harry Egan, fresh from Trevor Nunn's season at the Rose Theatre.
The Tiger's Bones and Other Stories is at West Yorkshire Playhouse from Thursday 7th – Saturday 9th April at 2pm and 7pm daily. Tickets cost £12.50. Book online at wyp.org.uk or call the Box office on 0113 213 7700.

The Device At Work
Metamaterial engineering (yeah, I don't know what that is either) has made the world's first cloaking device possible. Well, kind've. Read on for the limitations.
An invisibility cloak that works in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum has been unveiled by researchers in the US. The device is the first practical version of a theoretical set-up first suggested in a paper published earlier in 2006.
Smith's cloak works in only two dimensions. It is about the size of a movie reel canister and consists of a series of concentric rings, each housing a set of simple electronic components that distort an electromagnetic field as it passes through.
To study the effect of his cloak, Smith took images of microwaves flowing through the rings, like water waves moving across a pond. Without the cloak in place, the microwaves were reflected and diffracted by the copper ring. But with the cloak in place, the distortion was dramatically reduced.
"It's not perfect," says Leonhardt. "If you could see in the microwave region of the spectrum, the copper ring would not quite disappear. You'd see perhaps a shadow and some slight distortion where the copper ring ought to be."
So, when will you be able to whisk yourself up in a cape and vanish like Harry Potter?
So far, the technology works only in the microwave region of the spectrum. The problem with visible light is that it has a much smaller wavelength, meaning an optical metamaterial would have to be built on the nanoscale, which is beyond the limits of current nanotechnology.

Laura worked as a Senior Deputy Head for 3 years, having previously held roles of Senior Teacher, Head of department and specialist Science teacher within Hertfordshire, England. After being awarded a distinction in her Postgraduate Certificate in Education, Laura taught secondary science before taking on the challenge of completing a Graduate Certificate in Chemistry Education, enabling her to teach both Biology and Chemistry to A-Level.
Laura later took on a role at a preparatory school and completed her level 3 Forest School Leaders qualification and implemented the concept of Forest School within the curriculum from Reception to year 6. Her passion for the outdoors was utilised in helping to set up forest school toddlers groups and also working with other schools within the county to develop their own outdoor curriculum. She strongly promotes the use of the outdoors to inspire pupils to explore beyond their own perimeters, gaining a sense of self and independence.
Having had a broad view of the education system from 4 to 18 years, Laura has gained knowledge and expertise in understanding the progression of a child's learning journey. She strongly values key characteristics, such as resilience, that can be developed through education and enable children to reach their potential. With a previous career in the Mental Health team, Laura is acutely aware of the importance of positive mental health and pastoral care within education and strives to ensure that every child under her care is equipped with the necessary skills to ensure a positive and bright future.
Laura has always enjoyed challenging herself, both physically and academically. She has successfully completed the London Marathon and has recently started learning how to play the saxophone. In her spare time, Laura enjoys travelling with her family, experiencing the variety of cultures and environments that the world offers.

Does Catelynn Lowell of "Teen Mom OG" regret putting her daughter Carly up for adoption? She's hurt that the girl's adoptive parents won't let her see her child, despite the adoption agreement backing their decision. Are those the health issues her husband Tyler Baltierra expressed concern over? The "Teen Mom" star seems upset over Carly but could the birth of baby Novalee be driving it? Her affect sounds remarkably like postpartum depression described by singer Adele.
'Teen Mom' drama from Catelynn Lowell
Catelynn Lowell has every reason to be happy, ostensibly. The reality TV star is newly married to baby daddy Tyler Baltierra.
The couple have a new daughter Novalee Reign. The child they adopted out seems to be doing well. So where's the problem? The adoptive parents won't allow visits, only occasional calls. This angers and frustrates the birth parents. The birth mom texts quite a lot and the new parents want her to back off. They are perfectly within their rights to do so. Catelynn and Baltierra signed away rights to Carly. Adoptive parents may allow visits but don't have to (and shouldn't) if they feel it's not in the child's best interests.
'Teen Mom' attitude problems or depression?
Catelynn acts a little entitled as she complains about being kept from Carly. The birth mom rudely interrupts her caseworker's explanation and acts resentful.
She excuses herself saying she was only 16 when she made that "f--king decision." Yet anotherreality showmom seems to be blaming others and never taking responsibility (that happens a lot on "Teen Mom.") The 24-year-old has supposedly outgrown her immature decisions but her attitude seems just as childish as ever.
So maybe there's something more to it.
'Teen Mom' and Adele: postpartum depression?
Sitting in her new baby's room, Catelynn tears up and admits that depressionand anxiety get the better of her. Singer Adele recently shared her experiences with postpartum depression and they sound eerily similar--overwhelming desire for children even with a new one in your arms, constantly feeling despair and fear for children, melancholia that never lifts, guilt that despite having lovely kids you can't feel happy.
You gain weight and don't take care of yourself (Baltierra's been at her about weight loss). Catelynn's baby is 14 months old but postpartum can linger a long time after birth. It sometimes doesn't kick in till months later. It is a baffling and contradictory emotional illness, striking when everyone--including you--expects you to be happiest.

(TRINIDAD EXPRESS) — The Prison Service today responded to photographs circulating on social media showing an inmate posing with what appears to be a firearm in a cell.
In a statement, the prison service said that the firearm is fake.
"It should be noted that the object being held in the photographs is one of the props which was used during a performance at the recently concluded Carnival Programme. Additionally, the photographs were taken prior to the programme and have since then been removed from the inmate's possession".
Nevertheless, said the prison service, the individual in the photographs has been identified and the necessary disciplinary steps are being taken for his actions, as searches of the Maximum Security Prison are being conducted.

An Island Retreat Rich in Medieval History
It takes very little time to fall in love with Gotland, a mysterious sea-swept island in the middle of the stony gray Baltic off the southeast coast of Stockholm. The largest of Sweden's islands (78 miles long), it is definitely not typically Swedish, although it officially became part of the nation in 1679. Once a strategic hub of Hanseatic trade in the Baltic Sea, Gotland today offers serenity and a landscape of lush meadows that are tapestries of orchids (thirty-five different varieties thrive here), poppies, and wildflowers.
You'll also find desolate moorlands, stone walls, close to 100 unspoiled medieval country churches, and pristine farmlands that date back to the 6th-century Vikings (nowhere else in Sweden have so many Viking or medieval treasures been discovered).
Dramatic stone pillars, the island's monumental "sea stacks" carved out of soft limestone by the wind and waves, dot a coastline marked by long empty beaches, tiny fishing villages, and steep cliffs. Gotland's highlight is the once prominent Hanseatic town of Visby, a living shrine to the island's 14th-century heyday when it was a country all its own and Visby boasted sixteen churches. Its defensive walls, more than 2 miles long with forty-four lookout towers, are some of the best preserved in Europe, often compared to those in Ávila, Spain, and Carcassonne, France.
During the summer, festivals come thick and fast, and Gotland finds itself at the forefront of Sweden's artistic and cultural life (Ingmar Bergman lives and filmed here, on Gotland's ancillary island of Farö in the north).
Book much in advance (preferably into the restored 19th-century Wisby Hotell, the nicest place on the island, located in the historic center) for August's annual Medieval Week, when the townspeople go about their business in colorful gowns and velvet doublets, and minstrels and street theater bring the city back to its Hanseatic trading days when it was as vibrant, rich, and powerful as London or Paris.

Academic Mindset
Supporting students in college to reach their full potential demands the promotion of an academic mindset along with coordinated student support. A mounting body of evidence supports the benefits of small interventions that encourage students to view intelligence as malleable, helping them build resilience in the face of setbacks and avoid becoming demotivated and disengaged with their academic pursuits.
Academic Mindset will
- provide a sense of mattering and belonging
- provide a sense of purpose and the relevance of your studies
- foster a belief that you can grow and learn new things
- increase your level of work and effort to positively impact your academic success

The idea is that beginners book their holiday in one of two low season weeks and pay just for their travel and accommodation, receiving tuition, lift passes and equipment hire completely free.
The offer is valid in 25 resorts in Andorra, Italy's Aosta Valley, Finland, France, Norway and Switzerland as well as Canada in North America and can be booked through six leading tour operators - Crystal, Inghams, Thomson. First choice, Ski Norway and Frontier Ski.
Holidays must be booked for the weeks beginning 22nd January or 19th March and there are 745 holidays available in total on a first-come, first-served basis. As an added incentive there's a free prize draw for a completely free holiday on the website.
Fresher's Ski Week is an initiative of the Association of Snowsports Countries and was first offered in the2001 and 2002 winter seasons, there was then a seven year break before it was re-instated in 2009 and this is the third successive season the promotion has run, due to its popularity.
Fresher's Ski Week - a campaign which aims to make ski and snowboarding holidays for beginners affordable, is back for 2011.

Whac-A-Mole – the home version is actually pretty good fun and perfect for when you have a gaggle of kids around – it's a board game yet requires no real time commitment.
What kid doesn't love hitting something with a plastic mallet as hard as he can?
What grownup doesn't love hitting a plastic mole with a mallet?
On the surface, it looks like it's missing a lot from the arcade version but it's actually pretty sophisticated even though there are only 4 moles.
You can play solo – when they light up and you hit them – the pattern is never obvious, it changes and the moles will taunt you electronically 🙂 There are two settings – hard & easy.
There is a 2-4 player mode where you just hit a specific color. You can liven it up by picking a mole away from you or making the rule you have to set your mallet down after eah hit … or picking it from the floor … or of course, drinking what's leftover from the New Year's party before you hit the mole.
And you get to work out your aggressions.
How can you beat that for $15?
Oh and in case you're wondering about its durability – two boys and many drunken adults have been mashing the moles for 5 months and the thing still works – not bad for something I expected would last 20 minutes.

This young lady keeps life interesting. This morning she was outside playing while I was gathering dirty laundry. She yelled, "Mom, I have a bootifull surprise for you, Mom, where are you?" My bootifull surprise was a dead bird, which she laid on the table. I threw it out and scrubbed her hands. Then I explained that touching dead birds can make you sick and she must not pick them up. She said, "It wasn't a bird mom, it was an eagle!" Don't touch dead eagle's either, I said. Then she changed her mind again, "It wasn't an eagle mom, it was a cuzzer (buzzard)."
The kindergarden Sunday School class is held in the basement of our church. Yesterday Lia came running up from Sunday School and said in a loud whisper, "I lost my shoes, they are in the basement somewhere!" I found them under her chair in the classroom. That is what happens when I buy cheap shoes, they slip off of her feet and she leaves them lay.
The egg dance.... we have a lone hen that lays her eggs in our barn. Lia loves to check for eggs. Yesterday she told me there were two eggs but she didn't hold the one right and so it broke all over the ground.

Introduction: Determining the effect and relation of organizational commitment on organizational effectiveness in nurses is essential and important. By determining the relationship between the various variables involved in organizational effectiveness, it is possible to provide the necessary platform for planning to increase and improve organizational effectiveness in order to develop the quality of educational and therapeutic services. The aim of this study was to measure the correlation of organizational commitment as a predictor effect with organizational effectiveness in nurses of intensive care units of Hamadan therapeutic and educational centers. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was carried out on 277 nurses of intensive care units in Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Data gathering tool was included 24- question Allen & Meyer` organizational commitment and 20- question Taylor & Bower` Organizational Effectiveness in 5 point Likert scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (Version 18) using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: Intensive care nurses had a mean age of 32 years old, 83.4% female, 67.1% married, 71.47% less than 10 years of work experience and 97.8% bachelor of nursing. Mean score of organizational commitment (75.65±10.87) and organizational effectiveness (57.22±15.80) were, that were interpreted in the moderate level. The correlation between organizational effectiveness and organizational commitment was positive and significant, which was interpreted in moderate level (0.575). From the dimensions, the organizational climate had the highest correlation with organizational commitment (0.595), and the normative dimension of organizational commitment had the highest correlation with organizational effectiveness (0.518). (P ≤ 0.01) Conclusion:
organizational commitment can be viewed as an important antecedent factor for the organizational effectiveness of intensive care units nurses. The implementation of single nurses, women, higher education and the informal employment status are more appropriate and recommended to work in intensive care units.
Nurses, Intensive Care Units, Organizational Effectiveness, Organizational Commitment
The health and medical system is a large and complex social organization with many processes and components that play an important role in maintaining and improving the health of the community (1). With the advancement of science and technology, population changes and the diversification of health needs in society has undergone significant changes in recent decades in different countries of the world (2). Some developing countries such as Iran have made good progress in changing their healthcare system and restructuring public hospitals in the form of the therapeutic and educational centers (3, 4). These centers are delivering their updated services effectively as a key health, treatment and educational delivering organization by training medical group human resources and bridging theory and practice gap (5). These educational and therapeutic centers with academic commitment and accountability have fundamentally roles to maintain and promotion of physical, mental, and spiritual health of individuals of community by scientific, research-based, updated and optimal health, therapeutic and educational services (6). Moreover, staff of these centers especially nurses occupy a substantial role to maintain and promotion of quality of educational and therapeutic services with patients' satisfaction (7).
Organizational commitment can be viewed as an important antecedent factor for the organizational effectiveness of intensive care units nurses. The implementation of single nurses, women, higher education and the informal employment status are more appropriate and recommended to work in intensive care units.

Is there really any "good" way to send off a living legend?
Stanford baseball truly did everything it could to write a perfect final page for the 41-year-long epic of its beloved leader, Mark Marquess.
But the magic of the dreamlike final season faded on a chilly Saturday night at Sunken Diamond when senior Jack Klein grounded out to second base to seal a 4-2 loss to No. 2 seed Cal State Fullerton that officially ended No. 1 seed Stanford's 2017 campaign.
"I think it was just a bunch of emotions running through me at that moment," Klein said. "It was a lot. We were disappointed. We all believed we were going to go all the way and make this a really cool special last season [for Marquess]."
And unbelievably, just like that, it was over. Goodbye, Nine. Forty-one years in the books. An end of an era. Full stop.
"It really hasn't sunk in," Marquess said. "I've done a good job of keeping it focused on the team, I really have."
This Stanford team rose to No. 8 in the country, won 21 conference games, finished second in the Pac-12 and hosted an NCAA Regional. The Hollywood finish was set up perfectly; it seemed only fair that Nine would make it back to Omaha for a 15th and final time.
But Cal State Fullerton had other ideas.
Two days after John Gavin stymied Stanford batters for seven innings, sophomore Colton Eastman pitched 6.2 stellar innings for the Titans and Stanford's few opportunities for rallies were never realized as the Cardinal were held to just two runs on three hits in their second straight loss to Fullerton.
"We're all very disappointed, but Fullerton was better than we were, and I want to wish them the very best of luck," Marquess said. "They're an outstanding team."
The Titans got to Stanford freshman starter Erik Miller early, hitting him for a two-out run in the first after a single from Dillon Persinger and an RBI double by Timmy Richards after a bang-bang play at the plate. A two-run homer by Scott Hurst followed in the second inning.
Although Stanford took advantage of a lucky bounce and two errors by the Fullerton defense to push across a run of its own in the second and got a runner on base in each of the last four innings, the Cardinal just couldn't break through against the Titans' stellar pitching staff.
"We gave it all we had, and it just came up a little bit short," Klein said.
Despite the result on Saturday night, Marquess remains proud of the 2017 Stanford Cardinal — while he pointed out that this iteration of the team wasn't the most talented he had on the Farm, he can't remember any of his other 40 teams at Stanford going on quite a tear like this year's squad did, winning 21 of its final 23 games to race into the postseason as one of the hottest teams in the nation.
The 21 wins in conference play were the most for the program since 1998, and the 42 overall victories were its most since 2004.
"Happy with our season, but disappointed tonight," he said. "The problem with going to the postseason is that there's only one team that's going to be happy. I'm very disappointed, but there's going to be a lot of disappointed teams. I'm very proud of this group."
That's saying a lot, coming from a man who led the Cardinal to the postseason 30 times, 14 College World Series appearances and the program's only two national championships. He is one of only five NCAA coaches to reach 1,600 career wins. And perhaps most remarkably, 38 of his 41 teams finished with winning records.
Thank you, 9⃣ pic.twitter.com/Vfbv7ZB6lm
— Stanford Baseball (@StanfordBSB) June 4, 2017
In the end, he departs Stanford with a list of accolades too long to name and having impacted more lives than can be counted in the 50 years he spent on the Farm as a student-athlete, assistant coach and finally as head coach.
After the conclusion of Saturday night's game, players and their families lingered, hugging, crying, reminiscing — but eventually, they, too, went home, leaving just an unassuming, completely empty Sunken Diamond basked in the glow of its harsh white lights.
That is, until Marquess and his wife, Susan, emerged from the left-field batting cages. They strolled across the field, stepping over the white number "9" painted into the grass behind home plate — a number that will never again be worn at Stanford —as Nine, trusty briefcase in hand, departed his home field for the final time as head coach.
The path ahead lies beyond the familiar lights of Sunken Diamond that he left behind on that walk, but nobody knows where exactly that path will lead — especially not Marquess, ever the creature of habit.
"I don't know," he said. "That's the scary part. I really don't. The good part is I was able to concentrate just on the baseball and immerse myself in that. The scary part is I haven't thought about what's next. I really haven't."
And can you blame him? Forty-one years of old habits die hard.

The Most Common IT Issues We See: Issue 1
To celebrate our 25th Anniversary this month, we'd like to share with you some of the most common IT Issues we have encountered and invite you to add to our list for the chance to win a prize…
Over the next week, we will continue to add to our list of common IT Issues, and would love to have some suggestions from you!
Email Issues:
Without a doubt, the most common IT Issue we are asked to help with are problems with emails. Which makes sense; it is one of the quickest and easiest forms of communication, and businesses unable to send or receive emails can suffer vast amounts of downtime. Whilst most people would be able to troubleshoot and resolve their email issues themselves, having an expert look into it can save you time and subsequently a loss of earnings during the downtime.
PC Slow Downs:
Your PC might have been gradually slowing down over several months, but you'll suddenly notice it one morning when you have a hundred emails to deal with, a meeting to attend, deadlines to meet, and you're stuck loading up a browser window. There could be a variety of reasons your PC is slowing down, from a failing or close to capacity hard drive, a browser with too many add-ons, a computer virus, or not having enough memory.
Mobile Device Issues:
The benefit of using your mobile device to access company information and data is that you can access this information at home, during the commute, or when you're waiting for a meeting. The workplace is no longer restricted to your office, and business can continue outside the 9 to 5. The problem, however, is guaranteeing your business data remains secure. Theft, physical or through cyber attacks can be disastrous for your business, but there are steps you can take to ensure the stress of the situation is minimised, which we are happy to help with.
Have you got some IT Issues you deal with more regularly than others? Maybe you've got an issue that constantly baffles you and requires an expert to come in and fix? Head over to our LinkedIn page and comment on the post for a chance to win a bottle of bubbly!
