Elementary Schools Bussed To:
Hinkle Creek Elementary, Hazel Dell Elementary, and Noble Crossing Elementary Schools
Our center is accredited by NAEYC.
We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited - nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Elementary School Distance Learning
Healthy bodies, happy hearts, growing minds. We make distance learning easy on your whole family! Our teachers are trained to facilitate safe and dynamic learning experiences online and in-person. Since every school has their own learning plan, we've added flexible enrollment options to meet your family's needs. Whether you choose to enroll full-time, part-time, or before and after school, we're here for you!
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning Adventures program: Music Explorers! Built entirely from scratch, our new program teaches kids to sing, move, listen, play instruments, and even create their own tunes. It blends math, science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare way of learning the foundations of music.
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program. From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we have the data to prove it.)
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You've probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids' natural ability to make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and more. Your child will experiment with activities like learning how lemon juice and baking soda interact to uncover secret messages, watching fizzy reactions in action, and discovering how to use technology to do amazing things!
Our Teachers
We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though. KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply, we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
An Artist's Heart
"My classroom is full of art!" says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We're so proud to have been named one of Gallup's 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award. When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience an amazing place to learn and grow.
Our Families
Don't take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
I would first off saying that this day care is awesome! They welcomed my children with open arms. When my kids first started, I was nervous, but with the help of the staff and the director, my experience has been great. They keep you updated on your kids and what's going on in the center. It's clean. It smells good. The staff are well-dressed. I would recommend parents to experience the trust and the love like I have."
Sandria C. - KinderCare Parent
Noblesville KinderCare is like family to us and has been a huge blessing in our lives these past three years! I am a single mother with three kids enrolled who have benefited very much socially and academically. This great benefit comes from a kind and knowledgeable staff who have my children's best interest in mind and share the same goals and values when it comes to supporting and encouraging my children. The staff has done an excellent job helping to prepare my son for kindergarten this year. They also have been an added resource to my school-age daughters with homework and projects. Noblesville KinderCare provides a very open, friendly and safe environment. I feel I can come to staff with any question or concern and it will be handled with care and positive feedback. The center is always smelling clean and fresh giving a feel of warmth and hospitality. Lastly, the staff does a fantastic job communicating all daily and upcoming events as well as changes to the curriculum in a timely manner which causes life to run very smoothly on a day-to-day basis. We are very fortunate and grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare fit! Thanks so much!"
Kelli - KinderCare Parent
I'm 43 years old and well aware that educational curriculum is not the same as when I was a child. Children are now not only on computers in Kindergarten but expected to be at a higher level for reading and math than ever before for their age groups. I wanted my son to be given the tools of phonics and simple mathematical skills for a good foundation to be fully prepared when entering Kindergarten. We were provided this asset with the KinderCare's Learning Adventures program.
In Junior Kindergarten, he had lessons 2-3 times a week in both areas and loved it. I am thrilled to say my son's elementary school just sent his first quarter reading and math test scores and he excelled over the average student in his kindergarten class. When people told me in the past I was jumping the gun in having my son tutored by the program before entering school, his test scores proved them all wrong."
Beth V. - KinderCare Parent
As a teacher, I know how important early literacy is for educational success. We enrolled Michael in the Learning Adventures Phonics program to help support and further is love for books. By the time he was four and a half years old, he was reading small, short stories on his own. He is as proud of himself as we are of him.
My husband and I are so pleased with the program that we signed him up for Math Learning Adventures!"
Kate B. - KinderCare Parent
Attending KinderCare for three years has confirmed KinderCare's level of performance in providing a valuable educational experience. Tyler went through an entire list of scrambled sight words and placed each letter in it's correct place by sounding the picture of the word out."
Sharon S. - KinderCare Parent
Who Are KinderCare Families?

Dalai Lama Knew of Sexual Abuse by Buddist Teachers for 25 Years
The Dalai Lama said Saturday that he was fully aware of the sexual abuse by Buddhist teachers since the 1990s, before stating that such allegations are "nothing new".
The widely respected spiritual leader, who is looked up to by millions of followers and Buddhists around the world, made the decision during a four-day visit to the Netherlands, where he met with multiple victims of abuse by Buddhist teachers.
He responded to a call from a dozen sexual abuse victims who launched a campaign requesting to meet him during his European trip.
"We found refuge in Buddhism with an open mind and heart, until we were raped in its name," the victims said in their petition.
"I already did know these things, nothing new," the Dalai Lama said in response on Dutch public television NOS late Saturday.
"Twenty-five years ago... someone mentioned about a problem of sexual allegations" at a conference for western Buddhist teachers in Dharamshala, a hill town in northern India, he added.
According to Yahoo: People who commit sexual abuse "don't care about the Buddha's teaching.
So now that everything has been made public, people may concern about their shame," he said, speaking in English.
Tseten Samdup Chhoekyapa, a representative of the Tibetan spiritual leader in Europe, said Friday that the Dalai Lama "has consistently denounced such irresponsible and unethical behaviour".
Tibetan spiritual leaders are due to meet in Dharamshala in November.
"At that time they should talk about it," the Dalai Lama said in his televised comments Saturday. "I think the religious leaders should pay more attention."

To dream of an Egyptian style pyramid represents ascension of consciousness, elevation, progression, or working your way to the top. You are aware of your own progress, or a situation is allowing you to rise to a higher level.
To dream of climbing a pyramid represents progress or the achievement of a goal through perseverance.
To dream of the actual Egyptian pyramids may symbolize your perspective on a situation that can't be figured out. You don't know what to think about something that's happening to you. Feeling that something is both incredible and empty at the same time.
To see red capstone on an Egyptian style pyramid represents a higher level of consciousness with a negative intentions controlling it. It reflects knowledge or power that is becoming dangerous or corrupted.
To dream of a Mayan pyramid represents advancement or progression that is surprising. You may be experiencing a situation that is more powerful, wonderful, or interesting than you originally believed it to be.
To dream of standing on top of a Mayan pyramid represents realizations or achievements that are more powerful or wonderful that you first thought.
To dream of climbing a Mayan pyramid represents working towards goals or achievements that are more powerful or wonderful than you previously believed.
Example: A young man dreamed of the Egyptian pyramids. In waking life he had met a girl online that he liked, but couldn't meet in real life. The Egyptian pyramids reflected his feelings about the online relationship feeling both incredible and empty because the girl was both pretty and impossible to know in real life.

Express Logic Announces Safety-Critical Certification Pack™ for THREADX® RTOS for RTCA DO-178B and FDA 510(k)
Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose, CA (April 26, 2010)
Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced the immediate availability of market-specific, turnkey, Safety-Critical Certification Pack™ products for its popular THREADX® RTOS for the North American market. Building on a recent announcement to provide certification for many European standards, Express Logic is extending its offering to cover RTCA's DO-178B, FDA 510(k) Pre-Market Notification and Approval, and IEC-61508 for avionics, medical and industrial automation equipment. With THREADX and the appropriate Safety-Critical Certification Pack for their industry, manufacturers can save time and money, and mitigate their development risk by using a proven, readily-certifiable RTOS for a fraction of the cost of alternate solutions.
THREADX has proven itself in over 750 million electronic devices, many of which are required to meet stringent aviation, medical, industrial, transportation, and rail safety and reliability standards. To date, THREADX customers have performed the tests and validations themselves and produced all required documentation. By introducing a turnkey Certification Pack for THREADX, Express Logic now can help embedded device manufacturers eliminate many developer-months of verification and validation effort in complying with rigorous reliability and safety-critical regulatory standards.
FDA Introduces New Stringency for Medical Devices
The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is responsible for new medical devices brought to market in the US, and for the recall and examination of existing devices suspected of malfunction. Devices are classified as Class I, II, or III according to their potential for injury. Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires device manufacturers to notify FDA of their intent to market a Class II medical device at least 90 days in advance. This is known as Pre-Market Notification and it allows FDA to determine whether the device is substantially equivalent to a device already in the market. Class III devices, posing a greater risk than Class II devices, require Pre-Market Approval (PMA), a more rigorous and lengthy process, requiring documentation akin to that required by IEC-61508 and DO-178B. Class I devices are deemed not to pose significant risk and do not require Pre-Market Notification or approval.
On July 31, 2008 a Senate Bill cosponsored by Senators Edward Kennedy (D – MA) and Chuck Grassley (R– IA) was filed that would require senior officers or directors of drug and medical device companies to certify under penalty of perjury that all information submitted for a product's approval is accurate and in compliance with federal regulations. The Bill provided that product applications later found to have contained false or misleading information would be subject to stiff fines (up to $5,000,000), assessed both to companies and their senior officers, who, in addition, could face jail sentences of up to 20 years.
"As the US and International governments raise the stakes for company CEOs to make sure their products operate safely, it is incumbent on them to use best practices in the design and development of those products," noted Dr. Jerry Krasner, a former medical device company CEO and current chief analyst for Embedded Market Forecasters. "Express Logic's Certification Pack can help medical companies be confident that the RTOS used in their devices will satisfy FDA scrutiny and will help them defend against any product liability claims they may encounter down the road."
Aviation Systems Are Regulated by the FAA
DO-178B, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, is a document published by RTCA. When specified by the Technical Standard Order (TSO) for which certification is sought, the FAA applies DO-178B as the document it uses for guidance to determine if the software will perform safely and reliably in an airborne environment. Certification generally is required for all software that is used in aviation within the USA, and as part of the Gobal Air Traffic Management (GATM) for International operations. DO-178B defines five levels of criticality, with increasing degress of certification demands, based on the consequences of a failure:
.DO-178B Levels of Criticality
Level A
|Catastrophic – Failure may cause a crash.
Level B
|Hazardous – Failure has a large negative impact on safety or performance, or reduces the ability of the crew to operate the aircraft due to physical distress or a higher workload, or causes serious or fatal injuries among the passengers.
Level C
|Major – Failure is significant, but has a lesser impact than a Hazardous failure (for example, leads to passenger discomfort rather than injuries).
Level D
|Minor – Failure is noticeable, but has a lesser impact than a Major failure (for example, causing passenger inconvenience or a routine flight plan change)
Level E
|No Effect – Failure has no impact on safety, aircraft operation, or crew workload.
"Since the RTOS controls the target system and applications, the RTOS must have certification evidence to the same software level as the system being supported, and demonstrate a level of confidence in the determinism of the RTOS and the control of the applications," commented Steve Balacco, Director of the Embedded Software and tools Practice, VDC Research Group. "For avionics systems that require a small, fast RTOS, Express Logic's THREADX is now capable of meeting these requirements as a commercial-off-the-shelf solution."
Industrial Systems and IEC-61508
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. IEC 61508, the international standard for electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related systems, sets out the requirements for ensuring that systems are designed, implemented, operated and maintained to provide the required safety integrity level (SIL). Similar IEC standards relevant to other industries include:
- IEC 61511 Process industries
- IEC 61513 Nuclear power plants
- IEC 62061 Machinery sector
- IEC 61800-5-2 Power drive systems.
Today, the ability to deliver a quality product before a competitor frequently determines ultimate market share and profitability. To keep projects on schedule, it's beneficial to consider reducing project scope, while still achieving the same goals. By using a reliable, field-proven COTS RTOS such as THREADX, along with a Safety-Critical Certification Pack, developers can eliminate many developer years from their project schedule and increase the likelihood of successful, on-time completion. The THREADX Safety-Critical Certification Pack addresses the requirements of many safety certification standards, and is a 100% turnkey solution for certification of the RTOS used in a safety-critical system.
THREADX Certification Pack
The THREADX Certification Pack is a turnkey solution for meeting the RTOS-related aspects of standards for safety-critical systems. The THREADX Certification Pack includes all source code, documentation, coverage analysis, validation artifacts, and summary report for submission to the governing agency as part of the overall system certification. Each Pack is pre-tailored for the specific standard addressed (e.g., DO-178B, Level A), the Operating System used (i.e., THREADX), and the Target Environment (i.e., processor, board, development tools, etc.), leaving nothing for the customer to do, but submit the evidence to the certifying authority.
A typical THREADX Certification Pack contains the following:
- Software Safety Requirements
- Software Safety Validation Plan
- Development Plan
- Configuration Management Plan
- Quality Assurance Plan
- Verification/Test Plan
- Coding Standards
- Requirements Standards
- Design Standards
- Requirements Specification
- Design Description
- Unit Test Procedure
- Unit Test Plans
- Unit Test Reports
- Integration Test Procedure
- Integration Test Plan
- Integration Test Report
- Trace Matrices
- Configuration Index
- Software Accomplishments Summary
- afety Manual
Shipping and Availability
THREADX Safety Critical Certification Packs are available for a wide range of customer target environments and development tools, and for a wide range of European and International regulatory standards, at license prices starting at $25,000.

** Typically each trainee will have a meeting with their mentor during each week they are on placement. In certain circumstances the frequency may vary.
The types of learning commitment encompassed within the course vary depending on modules. For this course one credit represents the equivalent of 10 hours of learning and engagement.

Police Man Caught Harassing A Woman in Broad Daylight
When it comes to women safety, not a single politician or police department will hesitate to say that they take it very seriously. But the results are same as always, and many women are unsafe even now.
But what happens when someone who is there to protect women, becomes someone from whom women need to be aware of.
Something shameful happened, and it was caught in camera. A policeman was trying to feel up a woman who was sitting beside him. As per the Facebook post, the shameful incident took place at Kalyan Junction railway station where the cop was recorded touching the woman's back in broad daylight in front of many people.
Few people observed him, as he tried to touch back of this woman behaving ignorantly. After which they recorded the cop, while he still touching again of the woman.
Kundan Srivastava shared the Facebook video.
"Shameful! A Policeman is trying to molest a woman at Railway Station.
The incident took place at the Kalyan Junction railway station, Mumbai yesterday on June 19; 2018."
Surprisingly, the women didn't react to it. When it had gone too far, and people confronted the officer, she stepped aside as she had nothing to do with whatever is going on. She ignored everything that people were asking why she isn't reaching. People then threatened the cop to make an FIR against him.
When the protectors themselves become the devils, what can we say about common men? Disgusting! Strict action needs to be taken against the policeman so that it becomes a lesson for others and no one dares to repeat such acts. What do you say?
According to reports, he is a constable of the Railway Police Force, and his name is Rajesh Jahangir.
When the guy filming confronted him. He threatens to arrest the guy. Which is direct miss use of power. Misuse of power, harassing a woman in public is undoubtedly something which a police officer should not have.
It really is a very shameful incident, while we are happy that people are more aware of things like this. But it saddens us to see a police officer doing such things.

Torture probe delays extortion trial
The court postpones the trial to an undefined date so an inquiry can be held into accusations of torture, his wife accuses.world Updated: Jun 09, 2007 11:11 IST
A top Chinese environmentalist's extortion trial has been delayed for investigations into claims he was tortured by police, his wife said on Saturday.
Wu Lihong, 39, was due to go on trial on Tuesday, but the court "decided to postpone the trial to an undefined date so an inquiry can be held into accusations of torture," his wife said.
Xu Jiehua accused authorities last week of assaulting her husband, who was arrested in April after campaigning for years against the pollution of China's scenic Taihu lake -- now at the centre of a clean-water crisis. "My husband has been tortured... the police whipped him on his back, arms, legs and feet," she said then, adding his lawyer had seen bruises on Wu during a jail visit.
Wu's trial was scheduled to take place in Yixing on the shores of Taihu, China's third largest freshwater lake, in the eastern province of Jiangsu.
Authorities this week ordered heavily polluting industries around the lake to close after drinking water for millions of people was contaminated by a huge blue-green algae bloom.
Contaminated tap water, which one resident said, "smells so bad that you want to vomit", sparked panic-buying of bottled water among the seven million people who rely on the lake's supplies.

Why NZ Rugby could now rip up Super Rugby
Paul Cully
May 19 2020
ANALYSIS: Money talks around the Sanzaar table and when it comes to discussions about the future of Super Rugby and The Rugby Championship the loudest voice might have a Kiwi accent.
Forget about the assumption that New Zealand is still propped up by South African broadcast money: that hasn't been the full picture for years.
In fact, a source has told Stuff the new Sky deal announced in Octobermeans NZ Rugby will bring "significantly" more to Sanzaar than the South Africans will via broadcaster SuperSport, in part because of the weak Rand.
It's a game-changing deal heated up by competition from Spark that defied broader industry trends and could allow NZ Rugby to radically redraw Super Rugby to make it the more domestic-focused product that supporters are craving.
Sanzaar broadcasting deals have always been complex beasts to unravel, leaving spectators confused about who pays what, and to whom.
The money each country brings is pooled, although separate deals for domestic competitions such as the Currie Cup can reduce the size of the pot..
Stuff understands that under the current 2016-2020 Sanzaar arrangements New Zealand, Australia and South Africa get an equal share of the broadcasting pot one-third with a set amount set aside for Argentina.
This reflects their contributions under the last deal, with the Sky deal worth $US32 million a year (although that includes the Mitre 10 Cup), Fox Sports adding $US24m and SuperSport $U26 million (SARU sells the Currie Cup separately, and the size of that deal has caused friction in the past).
The real uplift in last deal came from the UK, where a broadcast war between Sky UK and BT Sport saw the former pay about £20m a year a staggering 620 per cent increase that won't be repeated.
However, you can burn that model because the ground has shifted in the past few years, and was doing so even before the coronavirus.
Stuff has been told that the massive deal NZ Rugby struck with Sky is worth up to $100m a year (that figure also includes domestic tests that are not part of the Sanzaar deal) while the SuperSport deal was tipped to be flat.
That's a huge increase for NZ Rugby, as in 2016 and 2018 (the most recent non-British and Irish Lions tours years) its broadcast revenues were $73m a year.
The ailing Sanzaar partner is clearly Australia, where Fox Sports is reportedly in a position to only offer $A15-20m a year for the 2021-2026 rights.
NZ Rugby could be therefore justified in asking for larger share of the Sanzaar pot to reflect its growing contribution, negotiate better terms, or even walk away from Australia in Super Rugby.
That invites the big question: can New Zealand even consider a domestic competition that could stand on its own two feet?
Armed with the above figures, we approached sports and media rights expert Colin Smith of Global Sports and Media , who correctly anticipated the bumper Sky deal.
"I think there is an opportunity for New Zealand to retain the five [Super Rugby] franchises but increasing them to a minimum of eight," Smith said.
"And having that a professional competition in itself and then you could have a crossover of the top two, or top three, playing the top two of the Currie Cup.
"If Australia gets its act together it cold also play in that as well.
"It would be a mini Champions League.
"Rightfully, New Zealand will ague and should argue because its won 70 per cent of the Super Rugby finals in the past decade that it should have the majority of the teams with a smaller number of South Africa teams and one Australian team.
"But each of them would have their domestic competitions as a major part. The challenge for New Zealand as I would see it is how you deal with the provincial unions and who gets a team and who doesn't.
"My personal view is that I don't think that Super Rugby as it's currently configured can continue in its current model. It is not sustainable."
Smith's logic for an eight-team Kiwi competition is simple: it's a numbers game.
While the 14-team Super Rugby format agreed for next year might not excite fans, it gives Sky seven games a weekend of 'content' and, as mentioned above, Sky gets the Australia and South Africa-hosted games for 'free' (no production costs).
Smith said that Sky might therefore renegotiate the NZ Rugby deal to reflect the 'lost' games but when asked if NZ Rugby could make the replacement product just as valuable by adding three more Kiwi teams to provide four high-value games a weekend, he said:
"It could be. I think that's the strategy that NZ Rugby is undertaking now with the Aratipu review.
"They're realising they have re-look at the whole structure of New Zealand rugby."
Sky would have to wear the additional production costs for that competition and pass that on, but Smith pointed out that without the huge travel and accommodation costs involved in Super Rugby, NZ Rugby could make savings elsewhere.
"It's the most expensive sports competition in the world," Smith said. "It's more expensive than the NFL, NBA, English Premier League and UEFA Champions League."
Sky has its own pressures to deal with.
No one can say for certainty if they will be in a position to honour the same terms of the NZ Rugby deal in the post-Covid-19 world, although having invested hugely in rugby through the broadcast deal, the acquisition of digital platform RugbyPass and the newly re-named Sky Stadium in Wellington, it clearly sees the sport as fundamental to its future.
Sky was contacted for this article but declined to comment.
As for NZ Rugby, chairman Brent Impey has re-affirmed its commitment to the Sanzaar alliance and clearly the Rugby Championship tests will continue to be an important part of the calendar.
But Impey also articulated that the coronavirus crisis had hastened the need for rugby to look again at the model and ask if it's working, or even practical.
"Brent Impey is a really good operator," Smith said.
"And bringing [new NZ Rugby director] Bart Campbell in as well...what he's been able to do in Melbourne, a total AFL town, to create a viable, profitable and highly business is incredible."
Super Rugby, as we know it, seems poised for a lasting revamp.

Interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said the attacker detonated explosives near a vehicle of the employees from Pul-e-Charkhi prison on the outskirts of the Afghan capital. Another five people were wounded in the blast. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The attacker was on foot, Danish said. The attack comes days after a suicide attack near the entrance of Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission in Kabul, killing at least one person and wounding six.

For the ideal smokey eye, look no further than Chanel Iman, who wore a perfect blend of dark liner and hazy shadow, which contoured her entire lid. For a supple pout, she wore a touch of clear gloss.
Diane Kruger has been on our beauty inspiration list for quite sometime, and the actress did not disappoint last night with this tendril-framing 'do and glowing, dewy cheek.
We're suckers for a strong braid, and this weave from Hailey Baldwin is our new fave. Paired with a chocolate smokey eye and long, lengthy lashes, this was a fierce look for sure.
Leave it to Heidi Klum to make a simple straight hairstyle stunning. This super sleek side sweep was perfect for the red carpet, while that touch of white shimmer in the corners of the eyes was mesmerizing.
It's hard to pick a winner of the bunch, but this look from Victoria's Secret model Jasmin Tookes definitely is in the running. Her windblown updo, perfectly shaped brows, golden cheeks and matching lids, and high-shine pout is the definition of natural glamour.

The Baltimore Ravens have used Willis McGahee in mostly goal line situations this season but he was nowhere to be found this Sunday against the Patriots.
With McGahee not getting even a single carry, speculation began running rampant last night that a trade could be in the works. This isn't anything new, even if he was given twenty carries yesterday his name still would have been mentioned as a possible trade candidate.
McGahee has been rumored to be an option for the Green Bay Packers as well as the Washington Redskins and the New Orleans Saints. All three teams are in need of depth at the running back position.
Since Marshawn Lynch was traded for a fourth-round pick it would make sense that McGahee would require a fifth-round pick which is a low enough cost to justify a trade.

I had concerns using the PetYeah [Upgraded 2019] Dog Anti Bark Collar, partially because I thought it could be vicious, and partially since I believed it would have no effect on our Jack Russell's barking.
I was wrong on both counts. It just makes a loud beeping noise the dog doesn't such as when he barks, and that gets much longer with each succeeding bark.
It put our dog off barking within 24 hrs, and also we just had to leave it on for a couple of days for him to completely understand as well as prevent him. It truly does work.

Hibs star Paul Hanlon has declared himself fit for the Premiership kick-off after operation made injury woes worse
The centre-back had an injury-plagued second half to last season, with a pelvic problem resulting in him only featuring twice for the Hibees after January
PAUL HANLON has declared himself fit for Hibs' Premiership kick-off.
The centre-back had an injury-plagued second half to last season, with a persistent pelvic problem resulting in him only featuring twice for the Hibees after he initially broke down in January.
And the 27-year-old revealed the depth of his treatment table woes – after an operation made the situation WORSE.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest news, transfers and goals from Scottish football plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
Hanlon said: "I've been back in with the physio from the start of this week.
"I came in before the rest of the boys to work with him and hopefully I can do most of the pre-season work, even if I'll maybe miss the first couple of days. I'll soon be back involved.
"Frustration is probably the only word for it. I got an operation in February and things only got worse after that. I kind of wish now that that had never happened.
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I felt much worse after the operation than I did before it, but it's done now and I need to deal with it.
"I probably tried to come back too early a couple of times, due to an eagerness to play rather than being 100 per cent fit. I'll learn from that and hopefully keep myself fit for the whole of this season.
"It was a ligament issue. Before I had the operation, my only problem was kicking a ball.
"I'd get a shooting pain through my pelvis when I hit a ball hard. Twisting, turning, movement, that was all fine.
"After the operation – which everyone said I needed, and I do trust them – it was worse but there's always that chance.
"Not ever operation will work for you and it didn't work out for me.
"There have been complications and setbacks. It's has been tough. No-one wants to be stuck in the stand watching their team-mates on a Saturday."
It was rough on Hanlon, who had been enjoying an impressive campaign, with SunSport columnist Jim Duffy even consistently tipping him for a Scotland call-up.

WE'LL MISS YOUHibs' Darren McGregor says Jason Cummings can go to Nottingham Forest with his head held high
The former Under-21 captain feels he's returning to the top-flight a better player than the one who left it three years ago, and knows he'll have to be at the top of his game to even start with competition from Darren McGregor and Efe Ambrose.
He added: "I definitely feel like I'm a better player. I feel like I've come on a lot in the last few seasons, probably through experience as much as anything else.
"I'm looking forward to testing myself in the Premiership again and getting a good gauge of where I am in my career.
"We're pretty strong in defence going into the new season but we're going to need everyone.
"It will be a long campaign. You only need to look at last season when Darren McGregor and I played every game for the first half of the season, when all of a sudden he was the only centre-back we had left fit.
"We had to bring in replacements and we're lucky the club were in a position to be able to do that.
"To get signings like Efe Ambrose in through the door is great.
"He's an international player who has done it at the very highest level. That's exactly what you want.
"We all want Hibs to do well and the more quality players we can get in, the better.
"It must have been a big decision for him to come here. He must have enjoyed his time with us last season and I'm delighted he's back.
"We've also been linked with a few quality players, which is exciting for the fans.
"It's such a great place to be just now. The feel-good factor is still there. Winning the Scottish Cup obviously helped but it's snowballed since."
Paul Hanlon was speaking at the launch of Hibernian's new home and away kits, manufactured by Macron and sponsored by MarathonBet and Eden Mill.
The home kit will be available from Friday, June 16 in the club shop and online, while the away version goes on sale on Friday, June 30.
The DVD 'Hibernian Reborn', which charts the club's Championship-winning season, will also be on sale shortly.

In our relief programs we participate in the needs that are important to the community. These communities lack clean water, medical care and mosquito nets. Working hand in hand with a local church, we offer training in proper hygiene and seek to provide what is lacking.
Make a huge difference to the life of a community
Giving a future and a hope
Since 2010, African Hope Children's Ministry has worked with Unreached Africa (a registered ministry in Uganda) in their efforts to drill two water wells and repair a third. Students at East Cobb Christian School in Atlanta, Georgia, Jackson Middle School in San Antonio, Texas and Toronto Baptist Church in Sydney, Australia contributed to these wells. We were grateful to the donations from individual donors as well. Three villages in the Nakasongola District, one of the driest districts in Uganda, benefited from these wells. It is not uncommon for villagers to walk 10-15 miles to the nearest water source. On our recent trip to Nakasongola, we watched villagers fill their jerry cans with water from the same ponds that cows and other livestock use.
We salute Stockwell Place Elementary School in Bossier City, Louisiana for their passionate efforts to raise $11,000 to drill a well in the Nakasongola District of Uganda. The school held a walkathon on May 2nd, 2013 to bring attention to the need for clean water. We also would like to applaud the students from Meadowview Elementary School in Bossier City who came alongside and helped. Not only did the students accomplish their goal, but they exceeded it by raising the money for two wells!! Hurrah!!
Poor sanitation is one of the biggest health challenges facing rural Uganda. Cholera and typhoid, both preventable diseases, have cost many lives. The nearest small medical clinic is over 20 miles away. The closest medical center is about 80 miles away. In case of an emergency, villager must walk, or use a bicycle or a moto bike to seek medical attention.
Relief Program goals:
2 new water wells (thank you to First Christian Church of Lufkin, Texas and to Dunbar Elementary School and Brandon Elementary School of Lufkin for their efforts to bring a new water well)
Relief Donations Cover:
- Mosquito net distribution
Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria reduces disease and prevents deaths. It also contributes to reducing malaria transmission. Sleeping under long-lasting insecticidal nets protects against mosquito bites and malaria. They can be used as protection for people most at risk of malaria, such as young children and pregnant women.A gift of $20.00 for mosquito nets will benefit a family.

Can wearing a poppy show bias?
The annual Poppy Appeal by the Royal British Legion ahead of Remembrance Sunday is well underway. Politicians and presenters on TV are already sporting a poppy, as are many members of the public.
The question has been raised though by "Bystander", who is Britain's most popular blogging magistrate whether or not JPs ought to wear the symbol while they're sitting on the bench, dispensing justice. Could it lead to accusations of bias? You can read in full the comments received here, but "Bystander", whose blog has now had more than 1m page views, told iPM more about the conversation on his blog:
We're hoping to hear from the Magistrates Association later.
If you have any thoughts about whether sitting magistrates should wear a poppy while on the bench, let us know by posting in the comments section below.
Update on Wednesday from Marc:
I've spoken to the Magistrates Association, who sadly aren't willing to provide someone for interview. They told me that there is no official policy regarding poppies for JPs, merely that "it's a matter for individual magistrates to decide". The MA "might" form a policy if it's raised as an issue through the official channels by a JP, but "it's not been raised recently, so we're not considering it actively"

There are a number of ways to monetize a blog, such as displaying ads, embedding affiliate links, offering online courses, and selling e-books. Some people even become "influencers" and directly work with brands that launch a new product.
Many bloggers utilize all of these income streams sooner or later, but most probably start with affiliate links. After all, it's very easy to sign up for affiliate programs and to embed affiliate links in blog posts. And while banner ads, for example, can be pretty intrusive, affiliate links are less so and can actually provide value to the visitor.
In the end, everyone wins: the reader, who might be interested in buying a specific item, the online store that is selling the item, of course, and the blogger, who is connecting buyer and seller by reviewing or showcasing an product.
Any blogger can make use of affiliate links: fashion bloggers, book bloggers, and tech bloggers, to only name a few. Any blogger can also make use of video to talk about a specific topic or product. And combining videos and affiliate links can help bloggers much better monetize their content.
Through videos, bloggers can introduce new products and can create interaction with their readers. However, this interaction should be voluntary instead of forced through pop up ads.
The customizable BOSS video player offers this voluntary interaction as its primary feature. In an easy-to-use back panel, Bloggers can add information based on time codes. When a viewer pauses the video, the menu shows up with information about the clothing, books, recipes or anything else the blogger chooses to input at the specific time code. This information can also include affiliate links.
Simply adding video to a blog doesn't guarantee many affiliate sales, of course. Videos should be carefully planned and produced. Most viewers want to be entertained. Bloggers should keep videos relatively short. The beginning of the video is crucial: It takes only 5 seconds for viewers to decide whether to watch a video or not. They need to get hooked right away. Asking a question right at the start if often a good way to do that. Telling the viewer what they will get out of the video often keeps them watching as well. Bloggers should definitely experiment to see what works best.
The same is true when it comes to optimizing content for affiliate marketing income. Having a website video player like BOSS at their disposal, gives bloggers more control over how they want to incorporate affiliate links and lets them experiment and test. Because successful bloggers know: Only through testing can they reach the full potential of monetizing their content.

Head Down and Hold On is the season premiere of The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business.
Route Markers
The race begins at San Goringo Wind Farm in Palm Springs, California, United States of America.
Teams have to search through a field containing hundreds of paper airplanes with various words written on them for one matching the clue "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services", and have to figure out that this was a reference to Qantas, which are written on the correct airplanes. Once teams present a correct airplane to Phil, he will give them their first clue and tickets for one of two flights to their first destination, Sydney, Australia. The first eight teams got tickets for the first flight, and the last three teams got tickets for a flight that left 90 minutes after the first. In addition, the last team to complete the task would be penalized with a U-Turn on the Race's first Detour.
The order when teams found their paper airplane are as follows:
- Mel & Mike
- Zev & Justin
- Jet & Cord
- Kent & Vyxsin
- Ron & Christina
- Flight Time & Big Easy
- Margie & Luke
- Jaime & Cara
- Kisha & Jen
- Gary & Mallory
- Amanda & Kris
For coming in last place, Amanda & Kris received an automatic U-Turn at the first Detour they encounter.
Upon arrival at Sydney Airport, teams had to travel by train to Circular Quay in Sydney Harbour, they then took a ferry to Manly and made their way to Oceanworld Manly where they would search the area for a clue box containing their next clue.
The team member assigned to perform the Roadblock would have to scuba dive in the Oceanworld shark and ray tank and search the tank for a compass. The compass included a guide to decode a message hidden in series of nautical flags outside. The correctly decoded message instructed teams to go to the Manly 16 ft Skiff Sailing Club, find the Commodore, and tell him the phrase "I am Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" to receive their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams have to change into wet suits, then join a sailing crew and ride a 16ft Skiff through a race course to a series of buoys that have their next clue.
Teams must walk on foot to Shelly Beach to check in.
For coming in first place, Gary & Mallory won the Express Pass.
This leg is a no-rest leg. Teams would check in as normal, but receive their clue to start the next leg from Phil. The team that comes in last place does not receive a penalty.
First Place • Eliminated • Last placer on a Non-Elimination Leg • Season winner • Season 2nd place • Season 3rd place • ► Used the Fast Forward • ϵ Used the Express Pass• ⊂ User of the first Double U-Turn slot • ⊃ Recipient of the first Double U-Turn slot • ⋐ User of the second Double U-Turn slot • ⋑ Recipient of the second Double U-Turn slot• ∪ Was penalized with an automatic U-Turn

- This marks the first time a team is penalized with an automatic U-Turn at the first Detour, although the penalty would not apply until the next leg.
- This episode's title is said by a sailing instructor to Jaime & Cara as they almost tipped overboard.
- This leg marks the first time in which there is no rest period between two legs.

Welcomed by the angelic voices of the South Nelson elementary school Grade 4 choir, Mayor John Dooley hosted city staff, dignitaries and special guests Monday night at the City of Nelson's Annual Reception.
Held at the Prestige Lakeside Hotel and Resort, Mayor Dooley provided an overview of the city's accomplishments in 2013, its plans for 2014 and council's priorities for this year and next.
"City staff have worked very hard to put us in a sustainable financial situation, like we are now," the mayor told the crowd of over 150.
The Mayor highlighted council's priorities for 2013, which included:
• ongoing infrastructure maintenance and improvement
• the success and vision of the publicly-consulted Downtown Waterfront Plan
• the city's commitment to sustainability on all fronts
• benefits of shared services with the provincial government and the Regional District of Central Kootenay
• the aim for continued innovation in changing and challenging times
Mayor Dooley updated the festive crowd on the accomplishments of all the city's departments this year, those include the core services of administration and finance, Nelson Hydro, development services, the Nelson Public Library, the Nelson Police Department, the sperations and engineering department, the Nelson and District Youth Centre, and Nelson Fire Rescue, which celebrated its 100 anniversary this year.
Dooley noted that while development in Nelson was slower than usual this past year, there are a number of exciting projects slated to start in 2014, including Nelson Commons and Shambhala's restoration of the Savoy Hotel.
"And that's a good thing," the Mayor noted, "because if your city's not growing, it's dying."
Stressing the importance of the dedication city staff and workers have shown throughout the year, the Mayor presented six City of Nelson employees with long service awards. Fire Chief Simon Grypma was honoured for his 35 years with the department.
"I think Simon was born at the fire hall," the mayor laughed.
Building inspector Bernie Zimmer, Nelson Hydro's Carl Olsson, Public Works employee Ron Van Zanden and Bill Reisterer have been with the city for 25 years. The library's teen and literacy service coordinator, Joanna Harris, has been on staff for 20, as have fire fighters Rick Maida and Dirk Jonker.
The City of Nelson's cultural ambassador was also named for 2014, by the city's cultural development officer, Joy Barrett. Filmmaker and film instructor Amy Bohigan takes over the reigns from local theatre great Lucas Myers, 2013's ambassador. Bohigan — who comically threw on a silk sash her Mom made when she learned of her daughter's appointment — is in the midst of producing a 10-short film series for the Knowledge Network.
"I'm going to wear this every day next year," Bohigan beamed, finagling the white and red printed sash into place. "But Lucas," she added, "I guess you can where it for the rest of December."
Beyond the priority highlights and staff awards, achievement recaps of the past year were ample. The mayor showed images and stats on some of the city's numerous projects underway or completed, including:
• Nelson Hydro's downtown conversion project and Rosement's new sub station
• the installment of the city's high speed broadband fibre optic system
• on-going water and sewer line conversion and storm water outfall improvements
• new parks on Davies Street and 7th Street
• public art installments throughout the city
• the new skate and bike park in Rosemont
• the Hall Street corridor plan and on-going Downtown Waterfront Plan efforts
• the Zoning Bylaw review and the drafting of the city's new Official Community Plan
• the additions of the new Vicinity buses to Nelson Transit's fleet
The mayor closed with thanks to dozens of Nelson volunteers who offer their time and expertise on the city's numerous boards and committees, and city council — which he says stands out across Canada for its balance of women and men.
"We've got a terrific group of councilors," the mayor said, "municipal governments across the country are trying to get more women involved in city government, and Nelson is way ahead of where other municipalities want to be."
"We're all really blessed to live here," Dooley said, "it's the best place in the world."

Bloody Muslim Ritual Scars Them For Life
NEW YORK (AP) — Add self-flagellation to the list of ways to get a dangerous viral blood infection.
Researchers said this week that they were initially puzzled how 10 British men had become infected with a little-known virus, because the men hadn't taken risks usually associated with the infection.
But then investigators learned they had participated in blood-shedding religious rituals — cutting or whipping themselves — in Iraq, Pakistan, India and the United Kingdom.
"There have been suggestions that you might spread infections through this route, but it has never been described before" in a published medical study, said Dr. Divya Dhasmana of St. Mary's Hospital in London.
She is one of the authors of the study released Wednesday in a journal published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The men were infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1.
Most people infected with the virus never develop symptoms, but some develop terrible illnesses, like a deadly blood cancer or a debilitating nervous system condition.
HTLV-1 spreads through breastfeeding, sex, blood transfusion and sharing of needles.
Experts have estimated that up to 10 million people worldwide are infected, though it is considered relatively rare in the United States and the United Kingdom. Read more. [WARNING: Graphic Image]
