That's why we offer you made-to-measure furniture made of high-quality solid wood. So that your dream furniture is really tailored to you and your life.
The advantages of custom-made furniture
A slanted niche under the sloping roof where no shelf can be placed. Always squeezing past the dining table because the necessary size doesn't fit in the kitchen? We find solutions for you: our custom-made furniture can be configured to the centimetre according to your ideas.
This is how we transform empty space into practical storage space and at the same time enrich your home with a favourite piece of furniture. But you don't have to sacrifice quality and stability: Our custom-made furniture is made of solid real wood. They are also ecologically cultivated and FSC-certified.
You think having furniture made to measure is quite expensive? You can rest assured: Thanks to modern, computer-controlled processes, we fit measure furniture at favourable prices into every corner of your home. A sophisticated configurator is the first step towards a unique piece made of stable solid wood that fits perfectly into your four walls and your living situation. This way, not only you win, but also the environment: because if you are long-term satisfied with your furnishings, you don't need Fast Furniture.
Just imagine: You no longer have to rack your brains over the room furnishings because the Made to measure desk now finally fits under the sloping roof. Or: Instead of numerous chair legs, a neat Bench in exactly the right length the side of the large dining table. We make it possible: Use our online configurator to order your measureable furniture today and have it conveniently delivered to your home.
Your workplace - tailored to your body
Everyone works differently. Some like the worktop higher, others lower. Some people need several screens and a lot of storage space, while others can only manage with a laptop. With such big differences, standard goods don't get far. So why not go for a individual desk that suits your needs exactly? Thanks to our computer-controlled process, you can get the customised furniture you want from us at a lower price than from a carpenter.
And to ensure that the surroundings are just right, we also offer matching shelves and chests of drawers made of solid wood. For example, take a look at our Scandinavia Collection, if the desk of your dreams is made of lightly glazed pine. Or browse through our Design furniture in minimalist styleThe table is made of fine ash or wild oak and can be used as a discreet helper at your workplace.
Served up: customised dining tables for every occasion
Not everyone is the same when it comes to the dining table: some dine in a separate dining room, while others are content with a folding table between the door and the door. So that flat size and space for comfortable dining don't have to be mutually exclusive, there's our Table size advisor. Depending on your needs, we will make you a dining table that fits your life exactly. And it's all about the details: configure your favourite table with a round, square or milled Swiss edge.
It's not just the shape that we adapt to your ideas: You can also select the type of wood using the online configurator. Because expressive nature is always our focus - yours just as much as that of our material. That's why we only offer ecologically oiled surfaces: Scandinavian style in light woods such as beech, rustic in wild oak or elegant in ash and walnut. You decide what suits you best.
Made to measure at ekomia
At ekomia there is efficiently produced series production or made-to-measure furniture. Tables and benches in particular are the focus of our made-to-measure production: Desks and other Tables made to measure make living dreams come true.
With the help of the most modern manufacturing techniques, we turn your ideas into real living dreams made of solid wood at favourable prices.

Many a time, we are asked to estimate 3 meters. It becomes quite difficult to estimate it if we don't know any other object of the same length.
How long is 3 meters?
How tall is 3 meters? 3 meters = 3.28084 feet = 39.37008 inches = 1.0936 yard
Common objects compared to 3 meters long
The measurement of 3 meters requires some example to estimate the length in real life. It often happens that we do not have any measuring tape or scale handy and under such a circumstance you can draw these examples to describe the length accurately. Citing numbers at random is an easy job but that is not enough for us to estimate their size.
We are only able to understand where a unit is small or large when we can visualize the objects that are of similar dimensions. Here we have picked up examples of some of the common things that are present around us to help us to understand the size well.
1) Three large movie posters
If you had the opportunity to visit the movie theatre for the latest movie on screen then you will be aware of the general size of the posters. Now the length of each of the posters is around one meter and they are used for publishing the movie and allowing the audience to come across several movies that are being launched in the movie hall. So if you imagine three such movie posters then you will be aware of the size of 3 meters and what it looks like.
2) Two Pool Cues
You must have seen what a pool table looks like. These require pool cues which are like long sticks which hit the ends of balls so they are rolled into the holes there are present around the edges. The length of each long pool cue is about 1.5 meters to state approximately and hence if you can align two such pool cues then you will get the measurement of 3 meters. This is a very helpful example to understand the measurement with sports equipment that is available around us.
3) Seven Concrete Blocks
Concrete blocks are versatile and they are used for so many purposes. Mainly used for construction, they have a general dimension of 4 × 8 × 8 to 12 × 8 × 16 inches. So if you join seven such blocks of 16 inches of concrete then you will get the measurement of 3 meters. It is easy for us to imagine concrete in a line since we have seen them on the road, while the construction of bridges, etc. Thus this is a good example that we can cite to describe the length of three meters.
Also read: How Far is 500 feet?
4) Charging Cables
We all need charging cables for our phones. These are required when you are running low on batteries and your phone is about to get discharged. You must have noticed the long cord of the charging cable but never perhaps needed to measure them. Each of the charging cables is generally of the length of one meter. So if you can imagine three such identical charging cables then you will be able to estimate the length of 3 meters effectively. Hence here is another example that we can cite to describe the size of three meters in real life.
5) Two rolls of Sod
We all might have seen what a roll of sod looks like. These sods are basically patches of grass and dirt. Hence if you measure a roll of sod that is 152 centimeters in length then if you align to such sod rolls then you will approximately get the measurement of 152 ×2=304 centimeters which is equivalent to three meters. Thus two rolls of sod are effective to measure the length of 3 meters. Again if you are having a look at the 61 centimeters of sod rolls then you will be requiring an alignment of five such sod rolls in a single line.
6) A Christmas tree
It should be noted that the measurement of three meters is very close to ten feet. Thus if you find objects that are ten feet, you can easily cite them as an example for approximately describing the length of three meters. Now objects of 10 feet are widely available, for example, a standard Christmas tree. As you gear up for the celebrations of Christmas, bringing home a conifer is a must to celebrate the occasion. The standard height of a Christmas tree is 3 meters which are around ten feet, a very suitable example that we can cite since we all have seen what a Christmas tree looks like.
7) Ping Pong Table
The game of ping pong is a very popular and entertaining sport that most of us enjoy. Craving for a break in the middle of work! Well, reach for a match of ping pong in the office recreation room. The length of the ping pong ball table is 2.74 meters. Hence this size is very close to three meters which helps us to estimate the length effectively.

8) 1.5 king and queen mattresses
The size of mattresses varies from one country to another although the slight difference can be certainly ignored. To be precise you shall be needing the length of one full mattress with another half of it to add the length of 3 meters. This is an example that we can easily visualize since we all use mattresses on beds and have an idea about the approximate size of the bedding. Thus here we have picked up the example of 1.5 mattresses to describe the length of three meters easily.
9) A Diving Board
The length of a divining board can vary from 6 to 8 feet. The standard size of the boards however remains constant at 10 feet. As we all know that 10 feet are very close to 3 meters thus we can say that the size and length of the diving boards used in seas, pools, and lakes are a good example to pick when we are trying to visualize objects of the length of three meters. This is a good example that we can use since even if all of us did not have the opportunity to ride one we all have seen one in pictures or in real life.
10) 1.5 times the width of a car
The average width of most of the cars is observed to be around six feet which is equivalent to two meters. Hence if you can imagine 1.5 cars standing next to each other then you will be able to obtain the three meters effectively. Thus here is another example that we can cite to describe the length of 3 meters. The comparison is useful since you will be able to describe it well with any standard cars that are present around us.
11) 3 Guitars
Ah! The guitar is a popular musical instrument that so many of us have learned to play. Sighting a guitar is no hard task and in case you still wish to carefully observe their size then you can visit a shop that sells musical instruments to note the size.
The average length of a guitar is 1 meter and hence when you talk about three such identical guitars in a line then we can estimate the length of three meters well. Thus we get another example of describing the length of three meters.
Also read: How big is 5 acres? 5 acres in square feet
12) Adult Male Tiger
Tigers are wild cats and they are the species of feline that grows up to 12 Feet. To be precise with our information it is important to state that the tigers are the largest cats on the land. A 12 feet tiger is about 4 meters long. Although not precise a rough estimation can be made about the length of the three meters with these fierce land dwellers. If you visited the zoo or a Reserve Forest then you must have observed the feline dwelling in the habitat, a sight that is useful for us to estimate the length.
13) Triple the height of the Tennis Net
The average height of a tennis net is about 3.5 feet at the poles and it is reduced to 3 at the center. If you have observed a professional tennis game then you will be aware of the specifications of the game. Hence if we have three such nets one above another then we will be able to estimate the height of three meters. This is a good example that we can pick to describe the length of three meters and help us to visualize it well in real life.
14) Three yards of Football
If you had the opportunity to watch a professional match then you must have seen the yard markings on the football field. These yard markings are very important in estimating the length of three meters. One yard is equivalent to about three feet and hence three such yards will result in three meters. Observing the yard allows us to know what the length of three meters looks like in real life and describe it with a suitable example. Hence here is an example that we can pick to describe the size of 3 meters effectively.
15) Three-fourth of the size of the Beetles Volkswagen
The Beatles model was released in 1964 and it has a length of 4.079 meters. Hence if we carry out some calculations we shall see that the measurement of 3 meters is three-fourths the size of the car. It is easy for us to cite the car model as an example since we find cars on the road or in the showroom from where we will get the estimation of three meters. This is thus helpful for us to explain the length of three meters.
16) One and two-third times as tall as the refrigerator
The side-to-side refrigerator is about the height of 1.790 meters. Hence if you can imagine about one and two-third times the size of the refrigerator then you will get the estimated size of a fridge. Check this example since the refrigerator models are available at the house for keeping the food fresh and the drinks cold. Here is an example that we can cite to describe the height of 3 meters and imagine it well. Thus next time you are in the kitchen, take a tape to measure the length and be sure of the size to draw a comparison.
17) Half as tall as a Giraffe
The giraffe is the longest animal in the world. If you have visited an animal zoological park or visited a Reserve Centre then you will be aware of what this long-necked giraffe looks like. The average height of the giraffe is 5.70 meters. Hence the height of 3 meters is half the length of the height of the giraffe. Here is an example that we can cite to describe the size of three meters effectively to properly estimate the size.
18) One-third the length of the London bus
The length of the London bus is 8.380 meters. The residents of London have the opportunity to travel in this double-decker bus all the time. About one-third, the size of the London Bus is equivalent to 3 meters. Here is another common example that we can pick to describe the length of three meters effectively. A suitable example that we can cite to describe the length of three meters. If you haven't seen a London Bus in real life then you can search the internet for pictures to understand the length.
19) One-fourth as tall as the Telephone Tower
The height of an average telephone pole is 11 meters. It is required for establishing connections and maintaining communication. One-fourth of the height of the telephone pole is estimated to be three meters and another example that we can pick to describe the required height.
Also read: Convert 5000 meters to miles
20) One-fifth the size of a Semi-Trailer
The length of a semi-trailer is 14.630 meters. It is used for carrying heavy loads and transportation of vehicles, etc. One-fifth the size of the semi-trailer is equivalent to 3 meters which is a good that we can use to describe the size of the required height.

Giving Financially
We have a generous God! Everything we have comes from Him, and we recognise that our giving is an act of worship.
Click here for ways to give and Gift Aid information.
We have two giving accounts:
1) Our Main Account
This is our main account for the general running of the church and our contributions to work abroad.
Our planned expenditure for the current financial year (2022-23) is £799k and the pie chart below shows how this is apportioned between our various ministries and cost areas.
Virtually all the income to support the work we believe God is calling us to do, is derived from the generosity of His people. We do receive a relatively small amount of income from letting parts of the Millmead Centre to external groups, but this is small in comparison to income from giving – see the pie chart below.
As shown above, in order to meet our planned expenditure in the current financial year, the Elders are believing in faith for new Standing Order giving of £64k, which equates to an increase of 14%. Even with this increase in regular giving, we still anticipate a deficit of £42k at year end, but we are already seeing God provide for this with a number of generous one-off gifts and we are confident in His faithfulness and the generosity of His people!
If you would like to give financially to the regular work of Guildford Baptist Church, please refer to the Ways to Give guide below and use the Main Account if giving by bank transfer. Also, our Finance Elder, David White, has recorded a short video (click here) to further explain how the increase in Standing Order giving might be achieved.
2) Our Building Project Account
This account is a special account solely for our building project.
After some years of pre-funding each stage of the work, we decided to borrow an amount to get the building project finished rather than having it continue for further years.
We originally borrowed just under £1.5m but also had member loans to repay, and a retention on the work, so that in April 2021 we really owed almost £1.6m. The elders felt that it would be good to try and get this repaid in three years.
We set a target of £480,000 for the first year (ending 31 March 2022), and achieved this as the following chart shows.
We again set a target of £480,000 for the second year (ending 31 March 2023), and the current position (November 2022) is shown by the following chart.
The amount we still owe is so large and with all the other calls on our finances, we can be encouraged to pray and rely on God, who 'will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus'.
Cash or Cheque
You can give in cash during Sunday service collections. Cheques should be made payable to Guildford Baptist Church.

This section is from the book "The Law Of Contracts", by Samuel Williston. Also available from Amazon: Treatise on the Law of Contracts.
Subject to the provisions of Article 10, all questions in dispute under this contract shall be submitted to arbitration at the choice of either party to the dispute. The Contractor agrees to push the work vigorously during arbitration proceedings.
The demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the Architect, in the case of an appeal from his decision, within ten days of its receipt and in any other case within a reasonable time after cause thereof and in no case later than the time of final payment, except as to questions arising under Article 16. If the Architect fails to make a decision within a reasonable time, an appeal to arbitration may be taken as if his decision had been rendered against the party appealing.
No one shall be nominated or act as an arbitrator who is in any way financially interested in this contract or in the business affairs or either the Owner, Contractor or Architect.
The general procedure shall conform to the laws of the State in which the work is to be erected. Unless otherwise provided by such laws, the parties may agree upon one arbitrator; otherwise there shall be three, one named, in writing, by each party to this contract, to the other party and to the Architect, and the third chosen by these two arbitrators, or if they fail to select a third within ten days, then he shall be chosen by the presiding officer of the Bar Association nearest to the location of the work. Should the party demanding arbitration fail to name an arbitrator within ten days of his demand, his right to arbitration shall lapse. Should the other party fail to choose an arbitrator within said ten days, then such presiding officer shall appoint such arbitrator. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply the arbitrators with any papers or information demanded in writing, the arbitrators are empowered by both parties to proceed ex parte.
The arbitrators shall act with promptness. If there be one arbitrator his decision shall be binding; if three the decision of any two shall be binding. Such decision shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action, and whenever permitted by law it may be filed in Court to carry it into effect.
The arbitrators, if they deem that the case demands it, are authorized to award to the party whose contention is sustained such sums as they shall deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the appeal and, if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, damages for delay. The arbitrators shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties.
The award of the arbitrators must be in writing and, if in writing, it shall not be open to objection on account of the form of the proceedings or the award, unless otherwise provided by the laws of the State in which the work is to be erected.
In the event of such laws providing on any matter covered by this article otherwise than as hereinbefore specified, the method of procedure throughout and the legal effect of the award shall be wholly in accordance with the said State laws, it being intended hereby to lay down a principle of action to be followed, leaving its local application to be adapted to the legal requirements of the place in which the work is to be erected.

Inside the election night decision desk, with Kyle Kondik
We're chatting with one of our favorite fellow election analysts on this week's episode of The Downballot, Kyle Kondik of Sabato's Crystal Ball. Kyle helped call races last year for CBS and gives us a rare window inside a TV network's election night decision desk, which literally has a big button to call control of the House—that no one got to press. Kyle also dives into his new race ratings for the 2024 Senate map, including why he thinks Joe Manchin's unlikely tight-rope act might finally come to an end. In their Weekly Hits, co-hosts David Nir and David Beard recap big developments in two Senate contests: Rep. Adam Schiff's entry into the race to succeed Dianne Feinstein, and the GOP's unexpected show of unity in the open-seat election in Indiana. They also dissect the first poll of this year's hotly contested race for governor in Kentucky and highlight another 2023 battle that shouldn't get overlooked: the race for a vacant seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

How the Hispanic Caucus defied expectations with Victoria McGroary
We've got more developments in the 2024 Arizona Senate race as Congressman Ruben Gallego officially announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination. David Beard and guest host Joe Sudbay discuss his chances in the race and how Dem-turned-Indy Kyrsten Sinema's decision on whether to run for re-election will impact Gallego's support from national Democrats. Then we discuss the upcoming Chicago mayor's race and the recent flurry of polls that have shown incumbent mayor Lori Lightfoot anywhere from leading the pack to missing out on a runoff entirely. Lastly, we touch on Virginia Senator Tim Kaine's decision to run for re-election and the importance of Virginia's 2023 state elections. After the break we're joined by Victoria McGroary, the Executive Director of BOLD PAC, which serves as the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. She breaks down how Democrats prevented losses among Hispanic voters in 2022 despite pundit predictions otherwise. We also discuss the ongoing problem of disinformation in Spanish language media and how BOLD PAC has fought back against it. And we heard about the memorable OR-6 Democratic primary from last year, where BOLD PAC's endorsed candidate, Andrea Salinas, managed to overcome a 12-1 spending disparity to defeat a crypto-backed candidate.

Ending Citizens United, with Tiffany Muller + Hochul's court debacle
We've got a special double-barreled, two-guest show for you on this week's episode of The Downballot! First up is Tiffany Muller, the president of End Citizens United, who discusses her group's efforts to roll back the corrupting effects of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision as we hit the ruling's 13th anniversary. Muller tells us about ECU's short- and long-term plans to enact serious campaign finance reform; how the organization has expanded into the broader voting rights arena in recent years; and research showing the surprising connection many voters drew between the GOP's attacks on democracy and their war against abortion rights. Then we're joined by law professor Quinn Yeargain to gape slack-jawed at the astonishing setback Gov. Kathy Hochul experienced in the state capitol on Wednesday when a Democratic-led Senate committee rejected her conservative pick to lead New York's top court. Yeargain explains why Hochul's threatened lawsuit to force the legislature to hold a full floor vote on Hector LaSalle defies 250 years of precedent and what will happen if she eventually retreats—as she manifestly should.

theatre, film & tv past and present 2001-2008 & 2013…
Before paparazzi and the celebrity media we all live with today, there were 19th century photographers, like Napoleon Sarony (1821-1896), who became internationally renowned for their celebrity portraits. Born in Québec, Sarony began his career in the lithography industry – he worked and learned his trade while employed by Currier and Ives – and eventually even set up his own lithography shop. After a stint in Europe to study art and learn photography he came back to New York in 1865 and opened his first photography studio near 630 Broadway. Over the years, he moved his studio several times.
He quickly became a part of the art scene and was a founding member of the Salmagundi Club and a member of the Tile Club. He became noted for a groundbreaking lighting style and was admired for his background sets and accessories. Most importantly, he was able to position his subjects so they're…

Not that we need further proof that, after two years of hiding under the bed to avoid Covid, we've re-emerged into the sunshine like the Mole People. But have you tried going to a restaurant of late? Not just trendy hot spots for dinner. But affable neighborhood eateries for breakfast. The wait can be…staggering.
A few Saturdays ago, feeling a bit peckish for a nice breakfast, I headed for a local eatery, only to find an iPad for signing in, which indicated 30 groups ahead of me — and an hour-long wait.
Feeling a tad discouraged, I meandered over to the famously tasty Republik Coffee, which is on a quiet stretch of Green Street just off Lake Avenue, where the morning breakfast crowd was anything but quiet. That's not to say they weren't mellow and properly relaxed for a warm weekend morning. But the wait to order at the counter stretched all the way to the entry. And folks were keeping an eye out for one of the numerous outdoor tables to become available. This felt more like semi-frantic Union Street in Old Pasadena, than easy-going East Green Street off Lake.
There's a weekday menu and a weekend menu here — though aside from the eggs Benedict, they're the same. But first, before we get around to grabbing a fork and knife, it's good to grab a spoon — and consider what to drink, the choices of which are many and tempting in many ways as well. This is a coffee shop that respects a proper cuppa joe.
Though there is a menu section headed "Signature Drinks" — where we find a Black Vanilla Latte made with espresso, activated charcoal (seriously!) and bourbon vanilla syrup; a Sea Salted Hazelnut Cappuccino, and a Cardamom Oat Latte — most of the brews are the exotica we've come to know well over the years.
From the Espresso Bar, we can get the namesake espresso (hot and strong!), along with an Americano (espresso diluted with hot water), a macchiato (espresso with foamed milk), a cortado (espresso mixed with warm milk), a cappuccino (espresso with steamed milk), a latte (which is also espresso with steamed milk, in a different proportion), a flat white (espresso with "microfoam"), and an espresso tonic (a double espresso with tonic water).
And yes, the points of difference can be very subtle, near non-existent. But for an espresso obsession, they can be "toto caelo" — the width of the sky.
There's a Cold Draft Bar as well. Which does not involve beer, but cold brew coffee instead — the hipster joe of the moment. And here we find the House Cold Brew, the pumped-up Nitro Cold Brew, the Salted Cold Brew (with sea salt), the Real Mint Mojito, and the Vietnamese Cold Brew (with coconut water). There's regular coffee too, in a cup, with half and half and sweetener. Like our parents used to drink. But far better quality — no Yuban or Chock Full o' Nuts here.
There's tea too, hot and cold of course, along with brunch cocktails (Grapefruit Mist, Republik Spritz), house wines and craft beers. But honestly, coffee is the beverage of choice. It's in the name.And what they serve with the java makes for a pretty good meal, from early morning, till 6 in the evening.
The menu is packed with dishes both familiar, and impressively creative. At the very top, in a box on the left, there's a section modestly referred to as Delicious Toasts. There is, of course, our old friend avocado toast, including mashed Hass avocado, goat cheese and a "cage-free" seven-minute egg. But then, that's just the first of eight toasts — prosciutto burrata toast, salmon cucumber toast, truffle mushroom brie toast, flat iron steak asada toast, mascarpone fig toast, vegan mushroom avocado toast and hummus avocado toast.
That's a lot of toasts!
And I guess I could add French toast too — though it does seem to be a dish from another world. One which in that case — Breakfast Favorites — includes eggs Benedict, a breakfast burrito, lox & bagels. Now, that's the chow we all grew up with, more or less.
There's also a prosciutto flatbread on a cauliflower crust with parmigiano. And a smoked salmon pizzetta on cauliflower crust with crème fraîche.
Does this food go down well with coffee? Of course it does — doesn't everything? Does it go down well with a turmeric ginger latte or a chai lavender latte? Darned if I know. Darned if I'll ever find out. I like my cappuccino far too much to bother with such frippery and folderol. I'm old fashioned, and proud of it…my love of cold coffee notwithstanding. Caffeine is still caffeine, no matter what the temp.

Entry into Church School Sixth Forms for the coming scholastic year 2020/21 will retain the same principles used in previous years despite the difficulties created by the effect of the covid-19 pandemic.
De La Salle College and St Aloysius College Sixth Forms, as well as the Secretariat for Catholic Education, have worked closely together, to ensure that the same basic entry criterion that has always been used to fill the limited number of places available is retained. In this respect, the selection process to enter Church School Sixth Forms will continue to be based on academic merit as in previous years.
Owing to the current circumstances, the entry system cannot be based on standardised examination results as usual, since these are not available due to the postponement of the SEC May examination session. However, after lengthy discussions with a team of experts, an entry system has been decided upon and this will ensure that selection will nevertheless be fair and transparent.
The process which will be used is based on the following key principles:
- Since applicants have not sat for SEC or IGCSE exams in April/May 2020, the applicants' verified school mock examination results will be considered. These are the results that the applicants' respective schools sent to MATSEC as part of the calibration exercise being undertaken by MATSEC.
- In the case of schools, where the mock examination in a subject/s, or part of it, was not held because of schools closure, the mark assigned by the school in the SSC&P(Secondary School Certificate and Profile) will be considered, on condition that applicants obtained an MQF level 3 in the relevant SSC&P subject.
- Prior to applying at De La Salle College and St Aloysius College Sixth Forms, in July, applicants will need to apply for what is known as the Assessment Statement for Entry into Church Sixth Forms.
- This statement will be issued for each applicant by the Secretariat for Catholic Education and the two Sixth Forms jointly and will (i) include the list of subjects that the applicant sat for in his/her mock examinations at school and, (ii) assign 'bands' to each of these subjects at paper 2A or 2B level, according to the verified mock examination results that the schools sent to MATSEC. Each subject at Paper 2A level will be assigned – band A, band B, band C or band D1, whilst each subject at Paper 2B level will be assigned band D2.
- The bands correspond to the average percentages obtained for each grade at SEC level in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (based on MATSEC statistical reports) for each subject in every sector, that is, State, Church, Independent and Gozo schools.
- Band A will be assigned to the top percentage of students in each school according to the average percentage of Grade 1 achieved in each subject within the school sector each school belongs to. In the same manner, Band B corresponds to Grade 2, Band C corresponds to Grade 3, and Band D1 corresponds to other grades for students who would have achieved MQF level 3.
- Specific provisions have been made for subjects where a small number of students sat for SEC examinations as well as for VET subjects.
- If applicants were absent for the mock examinations held in their school, no bands will be awarded for the subject/s concerned.
The application process consists of two phases.
Phase 1: Applicants who are interested in applying at De La Salle College Sixth Form and/or at St Aloysius College Sixth Form need to obtain the Assessment Statement for Entry into Church Sixth Forms in order to apply for the 2nd phase in August.
Students are to apply for this statement by clicking on the link found at https://www.delasallemalta.org/sixthform/ or http://www.saintaloysius.edu.mt/ between 00:00 of the 6th July and 23:59 of the 10th July ata fee of €5. Late applications for this statement may also be submitted between 00:00 of the 16th July and 23:59 of the 17th July at a fee of €10.
This statement will be sent to those who apply for it before the start of Phase 2 and will then be used by the applicant when applying in Phase 2.
Phase 2: This phase will take place in August.Applicants will fill in and submit online application forms at De la Salle College and/ or St Aloysius College via https://www.delasallemalta.org/sixthform/ in the case of De La Salle College Sixth Form and http://www.saintaloysius.edu.mt/ in the case of St Aloysius College Sixth Form.
Information regarding dates of application and other matters will be available on the website of each college. A detailed explanation of the process being used this year, together with relevant rules and regulations, will also be available on the respective websites.

Reduce body roll on your C7 A6/S6/RS6/A7/S7/RS7 with EuroCode's sway bars. (32mm front and 25.5mm rear).
All C7 swaybar kits include the C7 rear fitment kit.
Reduce body roll on your Audi with EuroCode's ÜSS Adjustable Stabilizer Bar Set. These swaybars are just part of a more comprehensive suspension system that includes endlinks and a drivetrain stabilizer bar. Even on its own, this upgrade will vastly improve cornering and sharp maneuvering even in daily driving situations (on ramps, evasive lane change, canyon carving).
When EuroCode set out to develop the ÜSS system, we wanted to offer a product which would be superior to anything currently on the market. We took the H&R, Hotchkis, Stasis and Eibach bars, along with 3 of our prototypes to the track. After testing all those products (including our own) extensively, we finalized our bars and came up with a combination that basically leaves the competition in the dust.
The spirit of our Überlegenes Stabilisatoren System (ÜSS) is derived from our highly successful B8 chassis product; however it was fully engineered from the ground up for the C7 chassis. The purpose of the Überlegenes Stabilisatoren System is to mitigate the body roll that is very common in the C7 chassis, allowing the vehicle to feel more stable under lateral acceleration. This reduction in body roll will afford greater tire contact patch, improved traction and driver confidence.
The factory repair manual calls for the bolts securing your sway bar to be replaced. They do so because the stretch bolts are to be used only one time. We provide these bolts as an option.
Lowering the ride height on factory air suspension equipped cars alters the geometry of the control arm and may produce a slight misalignment of the end link. This includes S-Line model vehicles that have a lower ride height. To rectify this situation we include a fitment kit with every C7 swaybar set. We also recommend using this kit if you intend to set the rear sway bar to the stiffest setting regardless of ride height.

Amina Muaddi Breaks Her Silence After Rumors About Rihanna And A$AP Rocky
Designer Amina Muaddi, whose name we have heard frequently lately, closed the allegations that she played a role in the deterioration of the relationship between Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.
A writer named Louis Pisano claimed that A$AP Rocky cheated on pregnant Rihanna with Amina Muaddi. This rumor quickly spread on the internet. Nobody wanted to believe it. Muaddi denied all these rumors on Friday, April 15. She talked about disappointment.
"I've always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn't deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile," Muaddi wrote. "I initially assumed that this fake gossip – fabricated with such intent – would not be taken seriously. However in the last 24h I've been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one's life."

She continued, "Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for. While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business – I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend!"
Pisano Regrets Allegations About Rihanna And A$AP Rocky
Some sources say everything is fine between Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. They are insistent on this. The writer Pisano, who started the rumors, deleted his claims and apologized.
"Hi all, so I'd like to address the situation," he wrote. "Last night I made a dumb decision to tweet some information I had received. I'm not going to talk about sources, blame others for a discussion that was started, etc because at the end of the day I made the decision to draft that tweet, press send and put that out with my name on it. So I'd like to formally apologize to all parties I involved with my actions and for my reckless tweets. I fully accept the consequences of my actions for my tweets and any harm they caused."
Pisano also left Twitter. He said he regretted it. He promised to do better things in the future.

The reality of domestic flying
The glamour has long since left America's domestic airline system
By A.B. | LONDON
PATRICK SMITH, a pilot who writes a regular column for Salon.com, has a nice piece on domestic air services in the US. In particular, he describes a short flight he was taking as a passenger, which started with much toing and froing between gates and a 90-minute delay:
Over at the new gate, the too-small boarding lounge is beyond full. Every seat is taken. The spillover crowd is leaning against the walls and sitting cross-legged on the floor. The rest of us are standing, backed into the corridor and so tightly packed that nobody can get by. People are pushing and shoving and tripping over their luggage. Pizza crust, napkins and plastic cups are scattered across the carpet. A woman is on her knees between the rows of chairs, changing her daughter's diaper. A stream of indecipherable announcements rings out, and everybody looks at each other. "What flight was that? Where? Is it boarding?"
It's a vision of awfulness that will be familiar to many, and not just in America. One particularly obnoxious passenger who fusses and fumes his way through the grim flight encapsulates for Mr Smith "everything that is wrong with commercial flying":
He is a caricature of the traveling public's contempt for airlines -- the frustration people feel in the face of delays, sloppy service and our crumbling aviation infrastructure. But he's also emblematic of this same traveling public's sense of entitlement. Ticket prices have fallen steadily over the past 30 years, while the number of flights, and the cities they connect, have skyrocketed. People have come to demand and expect dirt-cheap fares and the convenience of planes going everywhere, all the time (in near-perfect safety to boot). This is to a large degree unsustainable, but they demand it anyway. And whenever the system lurches or burps, they scream.
It's worth reading the whole article, which makes me rather thankful to be sitting safely in an office.

When the Delta Surge Could End, and What Comes Next
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
New cases of Covid-19 are climbing fast in the U.S., yet in the U.K., where the highly contagious Delta variant struck first, the numbers have dropped sharply from their late July peak.
The U.K. was averaging 47,000 cases a day on July 21, according to data kept by the New York Times, but is now down to 27,000 a day, after cases began ticking back up slightly as of the beginning of the weekend. The U.S., meanwhile, is now averaging 124,000 new cases a day, up 118% over the past 14 days. Deaths have doubled over the same period.

Researching Russia
Earlier this year, I wrote three articles on Russia for an Engaged Media Special Interest Publication. The first article covers Russia's cultural climate in the 19th century, leading up to the Russian Revolution. I wrote a story on the dissolution of the USSR, and another on the fall of the Berlin Wall.

To provide more flexible learning options, TUJ provides both in-person courses at our campus in Sangenjaya, Tokyo and remote-taught courses accessible from anywhere in the world. Please check the course details to confirm whether a course is on-campus or remote-taught.
This page provides information on what you can expect from a remote-taught course and safety measures in place for on-campus courses.
Remote-taught group courses are similar to what you may expect from in-person courses. They are live interactive group sessions at a set day and time. Classes are conducted via Zoom and are facilitated by experienced instructors. Participants are given ample in-class time to interact with both the instructor and other learners. Zoom allows for break-out rooms to facilitate group and pair work.
Furthermore, all remote-taught courses are supported by an online Learning Management System. Think of it like a mini-website to support your course(s). You can access the material, assignments and discussion boards for your course(s) from any computer. All you need is an internet connection and an updated browser.
What do students think about remote-taught courses?
"I was worried about the online aspect, having already completed the course the year before at the old site. All the new features added so much more. What was lost in physical group discussion was gained in weekly feedback and peer reviewing."
"It was my first time to do online course but the administration people in TUJ office in Japan were very attentive and it was relieving to know that there are people who are very helpful when I come across issues etc."
"Online learning is a good opportunity to learn for mothers like me."
"My biggest experience online education. I will continue to attend more in future. Thank you."
"For people like myself who don't live in Tokyo, it was a great opportunity to take classes online. I hope that in the future, even after the pandemic situation cools down, there will be more classes offered online."
"In the first days of online classes, the adaptation was challenging. I got timid and couldn't speak because of my shame. From halfway through the course, I adapted. Now I could retake an online course."
On-campus Courses
Safety measures in place for on-campus courses
TUJ is serious about protecting the health and well-being of our community. To minimize this risk posed by COVID-19, the University is taking a number of measures. We believe on-campus courses provide our community with the opportunity to interact with and learn from others in a safe and responsible environment.

Dress Code Expectations
Part of our responsibility at CMS is to prepare students for the world of work. Proper dress is part of that preparation. Additionally, appropriate dress is important for establishing a positive learning environment in our building. Clothing which is distracting in any way interferes with the overall educational process. Our dress code prohibits the following clothing items at school: clothing with print referring to drugs, alcohol or tobacco, clothing with offensive print or double meanings, spaghetti straps, halter tops, backless tops, low cut tops, muscle shirts, mesh tops, midriffs (no skin or underwear showing in the middle), visible undergarments, miniskirts, pajamas and house slippers. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in helping us to maintain a strong academic environment for all students.
Early Dismissal for your student?
Due to policy, we will not pull a student out of class with a phone call as we need documentation. The easy way is to send in a note with your student who will then be issued an early dismissal slip, and can meet you in the parking lot. The other way is for the parent to come into the office and sign them out, at which time they will be called down from their class.
When students become ill at school, please follow these steps
1. Student tells the teacher.
2. Student sent to counseling office.

Voluntary Student Accident Insurance Program
During this school year the Portage Board of Education made available a voluntary student accident insurance program. Since the District has made this insurance available, an increasing number of parents/guardians have been taking advantage of this inexpensive policy. This fact dictates that as a community service, we will continue to offer this voluntary insurance. The District offers this program because of trends in rising family health and dental insurance costs, increased deductibles, and co-payments. Furthermore, in an attempt to limit the Districts' rising insurance costs, this program provides an alternative for claims due to accidental injuries that unfortunately occur on our property. This is the case for both during and after school hours. The plan described in the brochure you'll receive in the fall has been designed to respond to diverse family insurance needs. Coverage provided can help decrease the burden of unexpected medical and dental expenses, including those left unpaid due to family insurance deductibles and co-payments. As it relates to middle and high school interscholastic athletics, this voluntary insurance plan also provides coverage for all sports except grades 9 through 12 tackle football. In that the District requires athletic insurance, you should consider this policy for the coverage it will provide you and your child. A separate policy for high school interscholastic football is also made available before practice begins in August. Information is available at www.portageps.org.
